GREENE COUNTY - Greene County deputies arrested three men accused of breaking into a church, then stealing a safe and a van.
Greene County Sheriff Lemmie Smith said Mt. Calvary Free Will Baptist Church and Christian Academy reported a break-in on June 12. A safe with an undisclosed amount of money and a church van were stolen.
Deputies were able to recover the stolen property through interviews and evidence. This lead to the arrest of 25-year-old Steven Woods, 16-year-old Dexter Duncan and 17-year-old Ta'vein Joyner, the Sheriff's Office said. All three men are from the Snow Hill area.

Lara Dutta confirms her pregnancy
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Lara Dutta opened up on
her pregnancy. The actress said, "Yes, I'm pregnant and I am very
excited." When asked about her denial of pregnancy in the past.
added, "We have never denied it. There is a time and place to talk about every phase of life and this is a personal matter. We felt this is the right time to announce it and hence we have."
Lara Dutta and Mahesh Bhupathi are all excited about the new addition in their lives. When asked about their expectations, the Chalo Dilli star says, "Mahesh is pushing for a Bollywood star and I am pushing for a tennis player, so it's going to be a battle!"
However, there were speculation that Lara Dutta, who is looking forward to the release of movie Don 2, would say goodbye to her film career post-pregnancy. But the actress has made it clear that she will never stop doing what she enjoys doing the most.
We, at oneindia, congratulate Lara and Mahesh!

Using a Precision Current Source to drive an LDR attenuator
Has anyone actually tried using a current source based on digital potentiometer to drive a LDR attenuator? I've seen it mentioned in the massive Lightspeed thread but has anyone actually tried it?
It would be good for folks who want an LDR based attenuator with digital control (for remote control, displays, integration etc).
Is this how the DIY Paradise Eva works?
Anyway, I was looking at this app note from Maxim which shows pretty much the generic current source based on a digital potentiometer and a shunt:
Precision Current Source is Software-Programmable - Maxim
I want to try it but use a regulated PSU instead of the shunt IC. By using their forumula Rsense should be 200R when using a 5V supply, but I'm not sure what to use for Rs? Can anyone explain what this resistor is for? I'm thinking its to limit the amount of current going through the digital potentiometer wiper as they can generally only handle 1mA...
1 Attachment(s)
I'm thinking something like this. Any pointers?
Almost the same concept but less complicate and does not use as many i.c.s. :)

41 Years of Captivity | #MiamiSeaquarium
In just a few months, I will be turning 40 years old. When thinking of all the places I have been, all the different experiences I have had, all the fun, the joy, the laughter, the tears….I contemplate what life must be like for Lolita. I live in a fairly small house, at only 620 sq ft, and there isn't one day that I don't have an urge to go outside. Many days go by where I sit and think about Lolita, saying to myself What if? What if my house was empty and I had spent the last 40 years in this same space? What if I was never to see my family for the last 40 years? What if I was trapped here with nothing to do for the last 40 years? What if I was stuck in this little house with no human companionship for the last 40 years? What if several times a day people watched through the windows while I did acrobatic tricks in my little house for the last 40 years? I can't even fathom What if? I would go crazy, completely out of my mind. This makes me wonder how Lolita has done this for 41 years. The inner strength she must have to continue to survive in that miniscule tank proves to me she has a will to live.
On August 8th, 2011, it will be 41 years since Lolita's family was forced into Penn Cove, WA by means of speedboats and bombs like M80s. Lolita and over 80 of her family members were surrounded by nets and trapped while the youngsters were chosen for various marine parks. READ MORE via… Without Me There is No YOU

Well, Bella came to live with us on Friday. I'm still not really sure about how I am feeling about her. Mostly I'm ambivalent - except when she bites my tail or legs, and then I have to get up and leave the scene. She's a little bit annoying, but sort of cute too. It's nice when we can snuggle together, which isn't very often yet, but hopefully she'll calm down a little bit soon and we can be best of friends!
Mommy and Daddy are being really great about giving me equal love these days. I'm getting lots of extra treats (which is always a good thing) and lots of cuddles and playtime too. We even went to the Murfreesboro Dog Park yesterday and while Bella had to stay in her tote (she's too little) I got to run around and PLAY with the other dogs. Much fun.
More later, maybe. Now it's time for a nap.
We got to go visit my new little sister again today, and this time we brought a camera!! Her page will be up soon and until then you can see her in my latest picture. I still wasn't really excited about her too much, but I'm sure I'll be more interested once she comes to live with us next week. Can't wait until then!!
Tomorrow there is a Pugs in the Park Meetup in Nashville. Can't wait to play with all the other pugs!! And next Saturday is the Nashville Pugnic - even more puggie friends to visit! Bella will be able to come with us, even though she'll be tiny. I'm sure mommy will hold her most of the time.
Till next week, then -
Last Saturday we took a ride, one of my absolutely favorite things to do. But I wasn't sure where we were going until we stopped in Lebanon, TN, about a half-hour away from home. I was so confused, but excited, when we got out and went inside a new house. I sniffed around until we went out the back door, when I heard a LOT of barking!! We went into a big building where there were LOTS of pugs and Boston terriers, including three new litters of puppies!! Mommy and Daddy have been talking about a baby sister for me so the breeder took the three girls from the black pug litter out and we went out into the sun. They were really small, only four weeks old, and didn't really do much. I wasn't impressed. But Mommy held the one with a little white patch on her chest, and brought her up to her face and said, "Are you our Bella?" And then the puppy licked Mommy's nose. And so I guess that's my sister!
We can't bring her home until May 19th, and then you'll get to see some pictures on her webpage. Until then I got to play with the older litter of fawn pugs and we had a really great time! So I can't wait until Bella is a few more weeks older and we can play together ALL THE TIME. I will be an awesome big brother, I know it. More updates as we get closer to bringing-home date!!

Date of Stay: March, 2011
The roads are terrible. The water went out several times during our stay. The sites are not close to being level: they are low and hold water when it rains. And the electricity is very poor. Stayed here for several months due to work assignment and will not stay again. The owners don't even have the proper equipment to maintain the campground. The name and website are very deceiving. This is not what I would consider a resort. There were people living in tents under a gazebo leaving trash and belongings scattered about. It was not a good experience.
Date of Stay: February, 2011
This is a great park. Nice quiet environment and friendly staff. Well maintained and clean. Awesome place to stay and convenient location.

Hit the jump for more hate
I touched on the douchebaggery of the Blues fans earlier this season, and Twig did a wonderful writeup about how the Blues sucktitude spans decades earlier today. So I will leave those things to their respective posts and focus on tonight' game.
Jimmy Howard will be in net looking to stretch the home win streak to 17 tonight, while Jaroslav Halak will get the nod in net for the Blues. I'm not quite sure why St. Louis is choosing to sit their overachieving starter Billy Bryan Elliott in favor of Halak, other than the fact that Elliott has looked average against Detroit this season.
Halak is no slouch though. He had a rough start, but is currently 14-7-5 with a 2.00 GAA and .920 SV% and 4 shutouts.
Yes these two teams may be neck and neck in the standings, but the Wings are far superior. They have the full package. Any one of their players can be a lethal scoring option. Their goaltending is tops in the league. They have a defense that makes other teams vomit in terror, and most importantly. They have experience being a winner.
Bring it hard, fast and all out for a full 60 minutes and shut these punks up. Win it for Holmstrom, it is his birthday after all.

Newly discovered particles behave as powerful magnets that, one day, could change data storage.
The Science
Researchers have created extremely small, thermally stable magnetic particles. These CoFe2C nanoparticles have magnetic properties comparable to some rare earth magnets, the strongest permanent magnets ever created, at sizes as small as 5 nanometers, a million times smaller than an ant.
The Impact
The next generation of thermally stable data storage devices demands materials that are highly magnetic in a specific direction at small particle sizes. The new CoFe2C nanoparticles accomplish this goal and can lead to nano-magnets that work at room temperature.
Van Vleck's Nobel-prize winning explanation of the quantum origin of magnetism dates back to 1937.

Product Description
Carving pumpkins on Halloween is a fun tradition that has a special place in our hearts. But if you are anything like us, pumpkin carving probably sounds the most fun before you actually get around to doing it. Then, once you start sawing into that hard shell-like skin, the fun starts to melt away with every handful of cold orange slime you scoop out. You go into the project with big dreams of amazing, elaborate, never-before-seen monster designs that you can post pictures of online, and then a few minutes (and mistakes) later, you settle for a classic gap toothed jack-o-lantern or goofy looking cat and call it a night.
Well now you can crank up the juice on your pumpkin carving exploits with a Pumpkin Power Tool Carving Kit, and bring all those lofty plans to life! This kit comes with a power saw that will make the bulk of the carving a breeze, and the smaller detailing handsaw will help with the more delicate work. It even comes with some good stencil ideas to get you started. The internet is going to blow up next Halloween season thanks to your epic new pumpkin art!
- Power saw uses 1.5v AA batteries (batteries not included)
- Detail saw, poker tool, extra saw blade, stencil tracer and 12 stencils included

text: Red Dot has the whole scoop on their own awards ceremony for the Red Dot Awards, held this week at the Essen Aalto Theater in Germany. Sounds like it was a pretty great turnout for one of the biggest product design awards around, as they had more than a thousand in attendance. Though you'd kinda figure there would be a big crowd given that "of the submitted 2,548 products, 666 were distinguished," which is sort of like that "give a role to almost everyone who auditions for the play, so more people will show up to watch it" kind of thing. But we're definitely not knocking it, because we're hoping the patent-pending product we developed together, "Froggles" (goggles for frogs), will earn a Red Dot next year.

Let's not call them health resolutions--the statistics on resolutions aren't great. And "health goals" just sounds better anyway, don't you think?
OK, here are mine. (Research shows that being specific in your goal-setting--saying something like, "I will go on a lunchtime walk with my work friend Alice twice a week" instead of "I'm going to get fit"--is key, so that's why they're kind of detailed!)
All right, let's hear 'em: what are your health goals for this year?

'King of Pop' prays with Jesse Jackson
Page Tools
Pop star Michael Jackson has been starting his trial days by praying with the Reverend Jesse Jackson, the minister and the singer's spokeswoman said.
Michael Jackson receives advice from the activist minister on both spiritual and personal issues, said Raymone K Bain, the singer's spokeswoman.
"They've known each other for a long time," Bain said after Jackson's child molestation case recessed for the afternoon on Wednesday.
She said the singer usually woke up at about 4.30am (local time), and talked to the reverend for 15 to 20 minutes. The two talk to each other by phone and pray together, she said.
Earlier in the case, the pop star received advice and security from members of the Nation of Islam.
Reverend Jackson said in a telephone interview that the entertainer and his family were Jehovah's Witnesses and the prayer they shared was nondenominational.
"I counsel him and his family," said the reverend, a civil rights leader and former Democratic presidential candidate.
He said his main message to them is to "stay focused".
"This is a difficulty for all involved, the accuser and the accused ... He will survive this," Rev Jackson said.
He also said that it was unfair that Michael Jackson's jury had no black members and he challenged a reporter to imagine a situation in which a white person would be charged with molestation and have a predominantly black jury.

Building a door jam
I'm looking to build a door jam from scratch for my camp. Can someone please give me in detail how to do this.
Unless you must have a jamb for an odd sized door, why would you want to build it from scratch. Go to one of the big box retailers and buy a jamb kit which has all the pieces, plus they are set up with the decent weather stripping. Or even better yet, buy a prehung fiberglass door unit with weather stripping and threshold; hang it in the rough opening, install lock, and enjoy the camp.

It has reached the point where you might as well laugh.
They are saying that, the way things are going, NHL teams are going to have to send their fourth lines to the All-Star Game.
They are saying that, today, you could put together an all-concussion team that would be a lock for the Stanley Cup.
Think about it, the game's best player, Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins, on a line with the NHL's leading point getter, Claude Giroux of the Philadelphia Flyers, and the league's top goal scorer, Milan Michalek – Michalek's concussion just confirmed this day before his Ottawa Senators played the Boston Bruins.
On defence, we have Chris Pronger of the Flyers and New York Rangers' young star Marc Staal. Or Pittsburgh's Kris Letang if you're going on the power play.
Add in a dozen or so other names– last year's rookie of the year Jeff Skinner of the Carolina Hurricanes and defensive specialist Mike Richards of the Los Angeles Kings just to mention just two – and you've got a team that could strike fear into the defending champion Bruins.
If only they could play.
Michalek, injured the night before when he ran into his own teammate, Erik Karlsson, was missing his first game against a team that has been without Marc Savard, the player who would in all likelihood be its leading scorer but for concussion problems that appear to have ended his career prematurely at age 32. Savard played only a handful of games since he was blindsided by Pittsburgh's Matt Cooke in early March, 2010. He stands today as visible proof that recurrences can happen easier but somehow end up worse.
It matters not how concussions are happening – head shots, fights, accidents with sticks and pucks, running into one's own teammate – they have become an increasingly polarizing issue in today's hockey. There are as many sick of the issue as there are those wanting the issue addressed – even the media has started sniping among themselves – with the only sure truth being that concussions aren't going to go away even if they cease to be mentioned. They are, sadly, increasing – or, at the very least, the recording of them has.
"Maybe now it's everybody is more careful with the head injuries," suggests Boston captain Zdeno Chara, himself out with a knee injury.
"It's more serous and nobody wants to risk it, so everybody is taking time to make sure they are good before they play again."
Such precaution is the story of Crosby, who originally planned to take two games off as a precautionary measure after suffering slight hits a week ago, but whose return is now unknown.
Crosby's near year-long injury has been the lightning rod for a seemingly endless discussion on what to do. Some say the NHL has not acted strongly enough in either prevention or punishment. Some say the new rules that followed the 2004-05 lockout sped up the game, which fans wanted, but increased the force of collision exponentially. Some say the rink size is too small for today's much bigger players. Some say the players need to wear softer equipment. Some say they should put the red line back in. ...
The fact is, no one knows what exactly to do and everyone knows that concussions will never be eliminated completely in a game played so fast and furiously on hard surfaces.
All teams like the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers and Ottawa Senators can do at the moment is hope their key players return as soon as they can and remain safe for the future.
The Ottawa Senators, for example, found themselves in desperate need Wednesday of Michalek and his league-leading 19 goals. Despite taking an astonishing 49 shots at Boston goaltender Tim Thomas, they could manage only two goals, by captain Daniel Alfredsson and Jason Spezza, against five Boston goals – three on Ottawa defensive gaffes – by Rich Peverley, Chris Kelly, Patrice Bergeron and two by Daniel Paille.
Slipping under the playoff radar, the Senators desperately need their star back.
But then, what NHL team doesn't these days?Report Typo/Error

Isolagen replied that they understood, but the intention of the treatment was long-term. Isolagen requested that "for at least 6 months" or "up to 6 months" be used. FDA responded that they would discuss the issue internally and get back to Isolagen.

Blogging through June with #bookaday, and now we've reached…
17. Future classic
What an absurdly hard question. There's plenty of answers I'd like to give – plenty of books I think deserve to be classics – but scrutinising my shelves there weren't many I could see gaining the impetus to actually be enshrined in that way. It's really a matter of luck and the good fortune of recognition, really.
If there's any I can see likely to take a place in the hall of fame, it's Neil Gaiman's Ocean at the End of the Lane. Some of my acquaintances number among its detractors, but for my part I thought it was a beautiful, elegant novel, and haunting in the quiet way that runs soft fingers along the blustery edges of your childhood memories. American Gods, and to a lesser degree Neverwhere, are in that hinterland of being considered classics – or at least, staples of their genre – and I really think Ocean at the End of the Lane stands a chance of being another.

Can you imagine if no-one could possibly get into your smart phone and apply it with out your permission? Can you imagine if your smart phone could ask you a query and also you kept it in your brain for any speedy head check out - and by using imagined, it recognized that "it needs to be you" and thus, unlocked each of the features for you? I feel this technological innovation will be probable in the future, and without a doubt why I only say that. brainsmart
You can see, there was an extremely intriguing write-up in re:Identification during the summer time 2013 concern called; "Next Gen Biometric Brain Surf" which mentioned how neuroscientists and personal computer experts have already been working together with human brain surf and borrowed some ideas in the wireless prosthesis where end user can only take into consideration shifting their unnatural limb and it then moves as being the unique cap they may be wearing sensory faculties what they are seeking. Nicely, it ends up this could also be used as being a biometric stability feature just like a retina scan, finger produce, sound print, or FRT (facial recognition technological innovation).

In the report the consumer wishes to gain access to a facility or visit your personal computer, so the customer puts with this brain cap, and the program requests a subject, the person then thinks about the reply to the issue and also the limit designer watches in which individuals considered styles glow about the fMRI swift check. Because every person formats their brains an alternative way, the experts have got it as a result of about 1Percent mistake, which means it is actually fairly darn deceive proof.

Indeed, good query and which can be challenging if each twins have experienced comparable encounters and consequently, prepared and stored info in exactly the same way. Odds are great that they have, and so the error prices could possibly be increased I assume. The reason why I bring this up is an acquaintance asked this when i described this structure and new modern technology to her.
Without a doubt, I figured which had been an interesting question if you view the movie "Eagle Vision" one of the concepts within the motion picture was that among the the exact same twins not any longer lifestyle was believed to have been a doubtful through the entire motion picture by one of the other principal figures. So, it's not as if these kinds of problems between spy novelists, science fiction authors, and security pros have been considered. Therefore this technology may require a little bit of okay-adjusting but be adequate it to state at 1Percent mistake rate they may have come a long way within a quick period of time so, I would anticipate this technological innovation for stability functions to be more prevalent in many years to come.
To state at Percent mistake
- Sure, great question and that may be difficult if equally.

La Jolla, CA - Surprising new insights about the acid pH levelsrequired for anthrax toxin to invade the cells of the body may helpaccelerate development of medications for the treatment of anthrax, adisease caused by a spore-forming bacterium.
The anthrax toxin is believed to play a critical role in causingdisease symptoms, in many cases leading to death even when antibioticshave been administered to stop bacterial growth. Consequently, there isa great deal of interest in better understanding how the toxinfunctions so that effective inhibitors with known mechanisms of actioncan be developed.
The findings, published in the online early edition of theProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, come from a jointstudy by scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies andHarvard Medical School.
"This research tells us that we need to revise the model ofanthrax toxin entry so that more effective drugs can be developed,"says the study's principal investigator, John A. T. Young, Ph.D., aprofessor in the Infectious Disease Laboratory at Salk. In previousresearch on the mechanisms used by the anthrax toxin to invade cells,Young's group discovered that the toxin targets two different types ofreceptors known as TEM8 and CMG2, on the cell's surface.
In the new study, Young and his colleagues found that toxinentry occurred at near neutral pH conditions when it was bound to theTEM8 receptor, but at strongly acidic conditions when bound to CMG2.The researchers in Young's lab at Salk revealed the two different pHlevels when they created cells that had only TEM8 receptors or CMG2receptors, but not both. They then used a drug that neutralizes the pHinside cells to test how it affected toxin entry in both cell types.
To their great surprise, the toxin behaved differently in thetwo cell types. For cells with the TEM8 receptor, a near-neutral pH wassufficient for toxin entry, but the cells with CMG2 required much moreacidic conditions. Although the types of receptors found on differentcells in the body have not yet been well defined, the investigatorswent on to show that different cultured cell lines display either ofthese two behaviors.
"Pore formation and translocation of the toxin occurred understrikingly different conditions," Young says. "The finding thatreceptor type dictates different pH thresholds was completelyunexpected."
The lack of a uniform pH threshold suggests that the anthraxtoxin may take two alternative pathways to reach different regionsinside the cell, and that "drugs that target a single pathway may beineffective," says Jonah Rainey, Ph.D., a research associate in Young'slab and the lead author of the PNAS paper.
Pharmaceutical agents that are designed to block theacid-dependent route of toxin entry may fail to block the neutralpH-dependent pathway, the researchers say.
In addition, the researchers made a finding that couldpotentially lead to a new approach for blocking toxin entry into acell. The toxin forms a syringe-like pore through which the activeparts of the toxin can enter the cell.
The scientists found that pore formation is associated withrelease of the receptor from the toxin. "Prior to this work it wasthought that the receptor was only partially released during toxin poreformation but our results suggest that that complete receptor releaseis required," says Rainey
"This is a key new finding, because blocking receptor release might disarm the toxin," says Young.
Rainey adds, "A pharmaceutical agent that keeps the receptorslocked in their original position may render the anthrax toxinharmless."
Anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by thespore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis. It is most commonly foundin such animals as cattle, sheep and goats, but it can also occur inhumans as a result of exposure to infected animals or to anthrax sporesused as a bioterrorist weapon, as was the case in 2001 when letterscontaining spores were mailed through the postal system.
Co-authors on the study, which was funded by the NationalInstitutes of Health, include Salk researchers Patricia L. Ryan andHeather Scobie, and Darran J. Wigelsworth, Ph.D., and John Collier,Ph.D. of Harvard Medical School.
The Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California,is an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to fundamentaldiscoveries in the life sciences, the improvement of human health andthe training of future generations of researchers. Jonas Salk, M.D.,whose polio vaccine all but eradicated the crippling diseasepoliomyelitis in 1955, founded the Institute in 1960 on land donated bythe City of San Diego and with the financial support of the March ofDimes.

One of my plans was to introduce solids to W using baby led solids. After he showed a great interest very early on we ended up beginning with purees and moving on to a combination of purees and "regular" food. Although I'd researched baby led and felt comfortable on paper, I still hated when he did the gagging thing when he was trying different foods. It always made me nervous, so I went on the hunt for a solution that would make me feel better and still let him try everything! The Baby Safe Feeder was the answer to my concerns! I had heard of mesh feeders before but had never tried one with W. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to try the Baby Safe Feeder!
The Baby Safe Feeder is a safe and easy way to introduce solid foods. You simply drop the food into the mesh bag and twist on the handle and give it to your baby! It keeps the big pieces safely inside the mesh bag but allows your baby to gnaw away. If you put a slice of apple in the feeder, your baby can make applesauce but the peel will stay in the feeder! This is an idea I definitely liked and was excited to try with W. I want him to explore food in hopes that he won't become a picky either. Of course, neither J nor I is picky at all. We're so easygoing that we have trouble deciding what to have to eat sometimes because neither of us cares and will eat anything.
The Baby Safe Feeder comes in a 2+2 Starter Kit which includes 2 feeders and 2 extra bags. You can also purchase individual feeders as well. I really like the 2+2 Starter Kit as it gives you enough supplies to really use the feeders effectively. I learned very quickly that when W finished what was in one feeder, he didn't want me to take it away and refill it. When I did that it did not make him a happy camper. It worked much better to fill the second one and just swap them out! It's a great system if you have more than one so that makes the 2+2 Starter Kit a great buy.
When the 2+2 Starter Kit arrived, I washed it for the first time as soon as we got it because I was eager to try it. It is extremely easy to take apart and put back together which is great for cleaning. Some of my friends who have used mesh feeders complained about having difficulty washing the mesh bags and some even said the mesh bags got moldy after a while. We have been using the Baby Safe Feeder for about a month and have not had any of these problems.
The Baby Safe Feeder offers a fun and safe way for your baby to explore solid foods!
The Baby Safe Feeder mesh bag is easy to clean and dries quickly. If you have any trouble cleaning it, there are some great suggestions on the Baby Safe Feeder FAQ page. They recommend that you wash it in hot soapy water or the top rack of the dishwasher. If you're having difficulty getting certain foods off of the mesh bag, they suggest you try a white vinegar soak or baking soda.
W wasn't sure about the feeder the very first time I offered it to him but once he realized there was food in it, he became a fan! He loves to have watermelon in it. It's one of his favorites and I don't worry about any stray seeds which is nice. He's also had radish, hushpuppy, and some other vegetables. I don't even remember everything we've tried since we got the Baby Safe Feeder because it opened up the whole world of food because I don't worry about him anymore. He is willing to try almost anything and I was surprised when he liked radish! I haven't tried any meats yet because I still feel bad about making him try the baby food version of turkey. I'm sure he would be more than willing to try a piece of non-puree turkey though so I will be offering it to him soon!
We also use the Baby Safe Feeder to help us survive this teething situation that we have been going through for the past 2 months. By putting an ice cube in the feeder and running it under cool water for a moment, the feeder turns into a great teether! W wasn't sure about it at first but once he got going, he was a fan and will go through a few ice cubes each time he uses it as a teether. I'm glad I discovered this use for the Baby Safe Feeder because it makes it even more practical! If you're considering getting a mesh feeder, I would definitely recommend the Baby Safe Feeder as it has come in very handy!
You can purchase the Baby Safe Feeder on their website. The 2+2 Starter Pack is available for $12.50 +$3.45 s/h or you can purchase an individual Baby Safe Feeder for $5.95 + $2.95 s/h. You can also purchase 4 packs of replacement bags for $6.25 +$2.75 s/h.

Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson rips NHL owners for lowballing players
Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson said NHL owners have lowballed the NHLPA since negotiations began and wanted a lockout from the start, according to the Ottawa Citizen.
"Like everybody else, I'm disappointed that the owners chose to have this tactic from the very beginning," Alfredsson said. "They chose to give a lowball offer from the get-go. It was kind of clear what they wanted and I don't see anything changing anytime soon."
Alfredsson said he is "past being frustrated," and believes the NHL wanted a lockout before opening negotiations towards a new collective bargaining agreement.
"I believe the players are doing the right thing," he says. "We've been more than fair. Maybe it would have been different if we, the players' association, had done what (the owners) did in their first offer and said 'we want 70 per cent'. We started at a fair point, moving in their direction and now they're frustrated that we're not moving. It's disappointing more than anything."Alfredsson won the 2011-12 King Clancy Memorial Trophy as the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice, while making noteworthy humanitarian contributions in the community. The 16-year veteran turns 40 in December, leaving his NHL future uncertain if the season is canceled.

Her Ugly Lies
Believing the Lie
"You're beautiful"
What a lie that is
Yet she'd smile
And accept.
"You're original"
Screams from inside of her
Yet she'd laugh
And accept.
She had no other choice
No one knew
That her mask concealed
Her imperfection.
For she was far
From beauty
From originality
The puzzle of lies
Blanketed her
From the cold hard truth
Of her identity.

text: Volkswagen of America 2014 Model Year Information Released Share Comments New 1.8-liter turbocharged and direct-injection TSI® engine to feature in Jetta, Beetle, and Passat, replacing the 2.5-liter five cylinder. R-Line® range expands to five models. – Jetta SE and SEL models are fitted with new 170-horsepower 1.8-liter engine, offering a manufacturer predicted highway fuel economy improvement of 16 percent – All Jetta models now have independent rear suspension – VW Car-Net™ connected services introduced across a broad range of models – New 1.8-liter engine in the Beetle has manufacturer predicted highway fuel economy improvement of 17 percent – Sporty Beetle GSR® special edition offers dramatic appearance package – Beetle R-Line model replaces Turbo, adding new bumpers, badging, and optional 19-inch wheels and Bi-Xenon headlights – Passat trims are revised and new 1.8-liter engine replaces 2.5-liter unit, starting in the SEL model – R-Line added to the Tiguan range – Touareg R-Line joins the lineup – All VW models are now E15 capable Herndon, VA – After three years of incredible growth and a slew of new product introductions, 2013 is a year of consolidation for Volkswagen of America. Nevertheless, it's also a year in which some very important product changes will occur. Chief among these for the 2014 model year is the introduction of the EA888 1.8-liter turbocharged and direct-injection four-cylinder TSI® engine, which will gradually replace the 2.5-liter five-cylinder naturally aspirated powerplant fitted to the Jetta, Beetle, and Passat models. This new engine produces 170 hp and 184 pound-feet of torque: this is the same power as the 2.5, but the torque is improved by seven lb-ft, delivered much lower in the rev range. Volkswagen pioneered the use of small-displacement turbocharged and DI engines in the U.S. market: the implementation of the new EA888 gasoline unit will help ensure that more than 90 percent of the cars sold by Volkswagen in the U.S. have these highly efficient powerplants. The engine is built in a new, state-of-the-art factory in Silao, Mexico that is part of Volkswagen's ongoing $5 billion investment in the North American market. The new TSI engine will be fitted to the Jetta range and the Passat SEL initially, to be followed by the rest of the Passat lineup and the Beetle later in the model year. The new engine is expected to offer significant highway fuel mileage gains over the 2.5-liter unit. The popular Beetle range has a number of new additions for 2014. The most significant is the introduction of the retro-themed GSR (German for "Yellow Black Racer") that will be sold as a limited-edition model. Because the base Beetle now has a turbocharged engine, the previous Turbo models have been re-branded with the R-Line® moniker. The R-Line range itself has been extended to five vehicles. The Beetle Convertible R-Line, Touareg R-Line, and Tiguan R-Line all go on sale this fall, joining the existing Beetle Coupe R-Line and the CC R-Line. Volkswagen will introduce its VW Car-Net™ connected services this fall as part of the 2014 model lineup. Available on Beetle, Beetle Convertible, CC, Eos, Jetta, Passat, and Tiguan models, VW Car-Net offers a wealth of security and convenience features, including crash notification, roadside assistance, and stolen vehicle location assistance. In addition, VW Car-Net adds: remote vehicle access; boundary and speed alerts; a vehicle health report; and an enhanced POI service on vehicles equipped with a navigation system. Most of the features can be administered through a handy smartphone app. Finally, all Volkswagen models are E15 capable, across all powertrains for 2014. Beetle – Beetle GSR goes on sale as a limited-edition model – Base 2.5-liter engine is replaced by 170-hp 1.8-liter turbocharged four cylinder during the 2014 model year – Highway fuel economy predicted by manufacturer to improve by up to 17 percent with the 1.8-liter engine – Beetle Turbo lineup now becomes the Beetle R-Line – VW Car-Net connectivity becomes available – Rearview camera fitted to top-of-the-line models (late availability) Then as now, the GSR features a unique interior with a yellow/black theme, sport seats, and a leather-wrapped sport steering wheel. The black-trimmed leather seating surfaces and high-grip leather-wrapped steering wheel both have contrasting yellow stitching. Other interior changes include a GSR shift lever, a leather-wrapped handbrake, and black floormats with contrasting yellow embroidery. A badge on the steering wheel is marked with the special-edition number (1 through 3500) to emphasize the uniqueness of the car. The base Beetle's 2.5-liter engine will be phased out later in the 2014 model year and replaced by a new, locally sourced, turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. This will produce 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque and is expected to offer highly competitive fuel economy. Electro-mechanical power steering replaces the 2.5's hydraulic setup. The Beetle Turbo lineup is renamed as the R-Line for 2014, adding aggressively styled bumpers front and rear as well as R-Line exterior badging and R-Line sill kickplates. The top R-Line Sunroof and Sound with Navigation also features unique 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights with LED DRLs, and leather seating surfaces; black interiors also get an R-Line badge on the steering wheel and a "metallic finish" dash pad. All Beetle R-Line models and the GSR are fitted with the latest version of the EA888 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which makes 210hp. Among other changes to the Beetle, the TDI® with Sunroof model is removed from the lineup, while a rearview camera will be available on the Sunroof, Sound, and Navigation trim levels on the Beetle, Beetle TDI Clean Diesel, and Beetle R-Line models. Beetle Convertible – Beetle receives 170-horsepower turbocharged 1.8-liter engine in place of 2.5-liter unit partway through 2014 model year – Beetle Turbo Convertible is renamed the Beetle R-Line Convertible – Rearview camera on top-of-the-line Convertible models (late availability) – VW Car-Net connectivity becomes available Like the Beetle Coupe, the Turbo Convertible range is renamed the R-Line. The topline R-Line with Sound and Navigation has additional R-Line-specific features, such as unique 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights with LED DRLs, and leather seating surfaces: black interiors add an R-Line badge on the steering wheel and a "metallic finish" dash pad.

Fourteen people attended the school reunion complete with school ties and some creative uniforms.
As befits all murders; secrets and lies were told revealing the murdered person as a complete double crossing, two faced, unreliable, two-timing villain. The truth unravelled to reveal sub-plots of stolen cars; mis-sold timeshares; business frauds; plaguiarism; drug dealing and illicit affairs. All tongue in cheek of course.
The star of the show was definitely the guest appearance of 'Benny Hill' an uncanny likeness from Max. With some magic tricks thrown in from Chris it was altogether a most entertaining evening.
Needless to say I presided over the evening as the Headmistress alias Chief Inspector Coppit of Scotland Yard aided by my right hand man School Governor Colin Westcott alias Detective Sargeant Pratt.
With a lovely American supper fit for a banquet and plenty of wine flowing it was an hilarious night. We're getting quite good at this I really should go back into business with WinK Murder Mysteries that is if Detective Sargeant Pratt can take the pace.

Sheriff: Murder suspect makes weapon in jail
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - A man accused of murder made a weapon out of a toothbrush in the Bonneville County Jail, the sheriff's office said.
Adan Arroyo, 23, was arraigned Wednesday on felony charges of possession of contraband and injury to a jail (vandalism).
Also accused of making "shanks" out of their toothbrushes are inmates Richard Frye, 24, and Joel Santos, 18, who are facing the same charges after guards discovered the improvised weapons March 26.
Deputies said Arroyo fired the four shots that killed 21-year-old Kristy Aschliman on Jan. 19 east of Idaho Falls. He has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and will have a pretrial hearing in July.
Frye and Santos had been booked into the jail on lesser, unrelated charges.

Originally posted on Project Spurs | Last updated 1/9/13
Note: This was written before news broke that the Spurs were close to signing Aron Baynes, maxing out the Spurs roster barring some sort of trade or other transaction. Earlier this week, reports came out that the San Antonio Spurs may be bringing former Kings forward Donte Greene in for a work out. Consider this an endorsement of Greene despite the fact that he's been a disappointment his entire career. To give you a little background, I've lived in Sacramento for the last two years and got to see the bulk of Greene's final two years with the Kings. The team is a mess, the arena is in shambles and yet, during Greene's time in California's capitol, he didn't let his inconsistent playing time affect his relationship with the city and the fans. He was the leader of the Kings' Good Squad, the group of bench players that would get the crowd hyped before the opening tip. He organized The Goon Squad Classic charity basketball game during the 2011 lockout. He even participated in an engagement video for a buddy of mine to his now wife. Greene embraced the city of Sacramento at a time when the organization he played for seemed to be doing everything it could to run away from it. You'd want this guy on your team. What about on the court? Well that's much more of a mixed bag. An athletic 6'10" frame, Greene is more of a wing than a power forward and definitely has a reputation as more of a shooter than anything else. The truth is Greene can shoot but wasn't a good shooter last season or the season before. His best season came in 2009-2010 when he averaged 8.5 ppg, 3.1 rpg and close to a block a game in just over 20 minutes of action. He also shot 37 percent from three that year. That number dropped significantly to 29 and 24 percent the last two seasons. Greene's struggles aren't completely his fault. Sacramento hasn't exactly been known for their ball movement the last few years, so he wasn't getting a ton of open looks when he was playing and wasn't playing enough minutes to find his rhythm anyways, especially last season. Two years ago, Greene shot 39 percent from the corner 3, a favorite shot of the Spurs system. He also is a terrific finisher at the rim, converting 67 and 64 percent of his finishes the last two years respectively. Shots at the rim also accounted for the highest percent of Greene's shots according to NBA Advanced Stats. Indifferent is probably the best way to describe Greene's defense, but that's more for lack of effort and teaching more than ability. I think Greene can be a good defender, but he's probably not the shot blocker most fans are looking for, though his athleticism and length suggest he could be a good pick and roll defender. I think there's room for Greene at the end of the Spurs' bench, especially as a stretch power forward. Sign him to a two year deal for low money and work him in to the system for the end of this season and next. Also, see below for a hint of Greene's athleticism and ability to finish around the rim.

Seems to be a design flaw but when you try to raise the driver side wiper arm for cleaning the windshield or as everybody does when snow or ice is expected overnight, the arm isn't designed properly and it literally scrapes the paint off of the back edge of the hood when you do try to raise the arm away from the windshield. The passenger side wiper arm can't be raised at all when its in the parked or off position. My dealer tells me that there is no fix and to just not raise the arm or turn them on then off mid cycle so you can raise the arm. Seems like a pretty wise ass answer to the problem after just spending good money on one of their vehicles. I know it's not a big thing to many owners but I don't think there's a car on the road that doesn't have this simple convenience?
I appreciated your post as my gfs sentra now has missing paint on the hood lip as well. It's pretty appalling that this got by Nissans QC process. I tried removing the arm and repositioning it up a few notches but now the wiper goes off the windshield with an annoying clang. Who knew something so simple coud have fd up the new car experience.
To raise the windshield wiper for the 2013 Sentra, there is a new instruction on the user guide under 'replace wiper blade'. While the car is off, you hold the windshield fluid spray for 5 seconds and the wiper arm will move to the vertical 'maintenance' mode and stay there (this allow you to hold it upward and clean the windshield). To lower the wiper arm do the same action and the arm will return to its 'normal' mode. I got the information by calling Nissan Canada (not the dealer as they do not even know about this method).

I have a hive that is inside the frame
Of a D8 doser and cannot get inside the frame rail to some how to get them out, they have only one entry hole that I can find, what would be the best way in which way to remove them. Thanks jr.

Of a D8 doser and cannot get inside the frame rail to some how to get them out, they have only one entry hole that I can find, what would be the best way in which way to remove them. Thanks jr.
How much time do you have to get them out? A trap out sounds like the only way but if they want the machine working you wont have much time. I looked at one in an earth mover once and it would have required taking the machine apart so I told them good luck sometimes you have to WALK AWAY
Ed, KA9CTT profanity is IGNORANCE made audible
you can`t fix stupid not even with duct tape
I want the D8 is there a discount if I take the bee's also?
First- if it says Cat on it it's squash you like a bug heavy.
My experience is with the older machines. If this is a new high drive I haven't done this.
Assuming the hive is up near the engine you will need to access it from below.
Start the machine and raise the blade as high as it will go. Support it on stands or wood cribbing. Cinder blocks have no place here. Gently lower the blade onto your supports to test them (remember squash you like a bug).
Support the belly pan (heavy steel, squash you like a bug) with a floor jack, remove the bolts around the perimeter of the bellypan. This is the spot where I would prepare for the sudden appearance of lots of bees. Lower the bellypan on the jack (it will probably fall off the jack) and drag it out from under the machine.
This is reasonably simple work. If the machine runs and the bolts all turn it should take an hour or so. Be careful, don't work alone.
Beekeeping begins here about which I cannot advise.

Your rite it is a very heavy piece of equipment, went yesterday to check it out and could not find the bees appears that they are gone, I did not see them flying around or even hear them, going back later this week with the owner and see if they are still there, wish me luck. Jr.

A 3-2 victory over Liverpool last season was the turning point for QPR in survival battle.They fought back from two goals down to score three in the final 15 minutes. Harry Redknapp will be looking for his second victory as QPR manager. For this match Harry Redknapp will be without strikers Andy Johnson and Bobby Zamora. Captain Park Ji Sung will be out due to knee injury.Goalkeeper Julio Cesar, full-back Nedum Onuoha and defender Ryan Nelsen are also doubts for this game.
Djibril Cisse will be the loan striker up front. Jamie Mackie, Taarabt and Shaun Wright Phillips will offer support to Cisse.Stephane Mbia and Alejandro Faurlin will be the holding midfielders.Fabio, Anton Ferdinand, Clint Hill and Armand Traore will be the defense for Harry Redknapp. Rob Green will be the goal keeper. For QPR Adel Taarabt has transformed into a different player.Slotted behind the striker he responded with two goals that gave QPR's first victory of the season.He will be the player to watch for QPR.
Liverpool could ease past QPR or produce another poor display as they did against Stoke. Such has been their season with inconsistent performance wriiten all over it.Brendan Rodgers would need a run of wins to restore faith in his philosphy at Liverpool. For Liverpool Luis Suarez could be a doubt with an ankle injury in recent weeks. A fit Luis Suarez would pose a challenge for QPR defense. Raheem Sterling, Jonjo Shelvey, Steven Gerrard will be the midfield attacking options.
Lucas and Joe Allen will be the holding midfield options for Reds. Stewart Downing could play some part in this match after inspiring displays in recent fixtures. Glen Johnson, Martin Skrtel, Daniel Agger and Enrique will form the defense for Brendan Rodgers. Pepe Reina will be the goal keeper for Liverpool. This match could go either way with both sides capable of playing attractive football. Liverpool would be looking for back to back wins while the hosts QPR will look for their second victory of the season.An exciting match to finish 2012.

Day 2 Finals | Day 2 Prelims | Day 1
U-M will return 15 up/4 down to tonight's swimming finals. On the same day last year, U-M went 15 up/2 down.
Kyle Whitaker enters tonight as the top seed in the 400-yard IM (3:38.93). He broke his career best by two seconds (3:40.94) and set the new pool record by just over four seconds (3:43.03, previously set by Alex Vanderkaay in 2008). It is also the third-fastest time in U-M and Big Ten history. Whitaker swam 3:43.75 in the preliminaries at last year's championship and finished second in the finals (3:40.94).
Joining Whitaker in the championship heat of the 400-yard IM are Dylan Bosch (3:41.56), Connor Jaeger (3:43.49) and Ryutaro Kamiya (3:44.11). Bosch's time was an NCAA 'A' cut, while Jaeger missed it by .01 seconds. Cameron Stitt will swim in the consolation final (3:50.52).
Michael Wynalda re-established his Big Ten and program records in the 200-yard freestyle, and he will enter tonight as the top seed at 1:32.14. That time is also an NCAA 'A' cut as well as a Big Ten Championships and pool record. Wynalda previously set the Big Ten and U-M records at Winter Nationals back in December (1:32.91). He won the race at Big Tens in 2012.
Wynalda will be joined in the championship heat by Hassaan Abdel Khalik (1:34.71), defending champion Anders Nielsen (1:34.95) and Justin Glanda (1:34.96).
Four men will return to the finals of the 100-yard butterfly, including three in the 'A' final -- Peter Brumm (46.28), John Wojciechowski (46.45) and Vinny Tafuto (47.18). Jeremy Raisky will swim in the consolation final (47.79).
Michigan will be well represented in the 100-yard breaststroke. Bruno Ortiz (51.92) and Richard Funk (52.05) will enter tonight as the top two seeds, respectively, while Matt McNamara will join them in the championship final (53.58). Kyle Duckitt (53.81) and Chris Klein (54.10) will swim in the consolation final.
John Wojciechowski is the team's lone representative in the 100-yard backstroke, as he will swim in the championship heat after posting a career-best swim of 46.66.
Timothy Faerber qualified for his second championship final of the meet, finishing eighth on three-meter with a score of 357.90. The difference between eighth (Faerber) and ninth (Layne Rogers of Purdue) was just three-tenths of a point (357.90 to 357.60).

Palmer electric palmer electric damaged my floors, ceilings, and furniture. refuse to fix it!! cicero new york
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
In may/june 2013 I called palmer electric to install 4 fans and 9 canister lights and misc items a lightswitch etc.... the gentleman that did the work were nice enough and pleasant to deal with the issue I have with this company is that upon arrival I was very specific. ..... DO NOT put any thing on the floors with out protecting them first. Palmer electric did not use protection which caused damage to my brand new harwood floors, secondly they damaged the ceilings in my living room there tool left a 2 inch ring around each can light they installed as well as black finger prints around the fans and around the conduit ceilings now need repainting.
In the kitchen they put holes in the ceiling that should have never been put there to begin with now I need to fix the holes and paint the entire ceiling again. Dining room they tried to install a fan at the back of the room but were unsuccessful but were successful at marking the ceiling with a pencil and erasing it 15 different times leaving streaks in my ceiling dining ceiling now needs repainted. [continued below]....
Furniture was also damaged because they built the ceiling fans on my kitchen table after I asked him not too or atleast cover it he did neither and now the brand new table has to be resurfaced as well as an upstairs dresser palmer then handed me a sticky note with a figure of 5789.00 I asked him if I was going to get an actual invoice or if this was normal practise they informed me that it was coming. After they finished the grand total for 4 fans and 9 can lights 6500.00 now they are suing me. I will fight it but consumer be aware palmer electric is what I call a RIPOFF and any homeowner looking for electric work need to be aware of there shady billing and work practise thanks for reading this post

Any one who owns a service type business should know to protect peoples belongings you can make excuses for improper training if you choose but I can tell you as a business owner you RESPECT! and make sure you follow the wishes of your homeowners to make sure things go smoothly this was not the case palmer electric you need to look at your own policys. I guess your tech building the ceiling fan on a brand new custom table without protecting it would also cause him injury right?
Because thats your lame excuse for damaging it furthur more if your technician gets hurt on a job a legitimate company would have workers comp palmer electric you SCREWED UP THE JOB! now its time to take responsibility for it thats the right thing to do in business and to respond to your comment about the damage not being bad and take a rag and clean all the dirt and rings off ceiling paint cannot be washed its not designed to but what really gets me is that it was YOUR MESS!!!! why would you make the home owner clean it up l will tell you why POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EMPLOYEE TRAINING!!!!! Palmer Electric RIPOFF
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

First you do realize that they cant put anything under the feet of a ladder. Its a safety risk. You damaged floors are nothing when compared to what you would have been paying if one of the workmen was injured doing your work. Odds are that they didnt do as much damage as you claim. Odds are that there is some damage from doing the job but NOT as much as much as the bill. I mean really grab some cleaner and CLEAN OFF THE FINGER PRINTS!!! There will always be issues when you improve your house. BUT you CANNOT just refuse to pay AFTER the work has been done. Your damages issue is clearly a seperat eissue from you paying what you owe.
I know you didnt tell your lawyer that you were going to post this report. I know because a lawyer would have told you to not do it because you could be causeing issues for yourself and putting any future legal proceedings in jepardy. What you have done is SLANDER!!! You have presented information as FACT, when reality is that it is YOUR OPINION!! This is what gets people sued. Since you have so elequently posted your issue on the web, they NOW have a additional claim on top of sueing you for the job. They can NOW add defamation of character and slander. They may also get "Character assassination" in there as well if they can show even one person read your post.
Guess what...I count as one....
There is ALWAYS three sides to any story. Your side, THEIR side, and the truth. Which side do YOU think youre telling??
I hate to say this but Im also betting you asked the workmen what the final costs were going to be and they called someone and grabbed whatever was handy to write down the information. Instead of asking a blanket question and then blasting them for not giving you specific answers, ask specific questions. Such as "When will I see a invoice". Not "How much is this going to cost".
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
