Leroy Jeffries came to Monett, then called Plymouth or Plymouth Junction, in November, 1882. Except for 8 years spent in Cassville as county clerk (1915-1922), he remained an active merchant in Monett for 68 years, until his death in January, 1951. From 1882 until 1914, he owned three general stores and dealt in local farm produce by the train car load. After he returned to Monett from Cassville, he owned two automobile service stations. He was joined in Monett by his parents, Dr. T. H. Jeffries and Mary Jane Ricketts, in February, 1883. He married Mary Emilie Turpin on December 23, 1888, and they were the parents of four children.
Below is a sampling of early Monett items, mainly from the Jeffries family archives. Additional Jeffries information may be found on the Barry County site at Rootsweb: Monett at MoBarry and Cassville at MoBarry.
|Leroy Jeffries, early 1880s. Leroy Jeffries was born in Benton County, Arkansas, on September 1, 1861, and died in Monett on January 13, 1951. His family moved from Arkansas to Cassville during the Civil War, then to Corsicana about 1868 and finally to Washburn about 1875. This image is from a tintype taken around the time Jeffries moved to Monett in late 1882. 1930 Newspaper Profile of Leroy Jeffries.
|Mary Turpin. Mary Emilie Turpin was born in Barry County near the future site of Monett on January 18, 1871, and died in Monett on March 29, 1941. She married Leroy Jeffries December 23, 1888. This image is from an undated cabinet card photograph marked "Will F. Simes Art Studio, Opera House Block, Monett, Mo."
|A Successful Young Merchant & His Family. In a refreshingly informal family portrait for the era, Leroy and Mary Jeffries posed on their porch for a traveling photographer from Little Rock, Arkansas. The children are Earl, Letha and Guy Byron. Guy Byron died in infancy. This photograph was taken before the birth of the Jeffries' last child Lalah (called "Trink"), who was born in October, 1894, so it dates to about 1893.
|Dr. T. H. Jeffries and wife Mary Jane Ricketts, about 1870s. Thomas Hampton Jeffries, called "Hamp," was born November 18, 1837, in Clinton County, Kentucky, and died August 12, 1902, in Monett. He married Mary Jane Ricketts in Bentonville, Arkansas, on October 27, 1858. She was born in Tennessee on April 23, 1839, and died in Monett on January 19, 1921. Dr. Jeffries was a pioneer druggist and physician in Barry County, living in Corsicana, Washburn and Monett. He served on Monett's first city council. Mrs. Jeffries ran a boarding house in Monett which catered to Frisco train crews. This image is from a tintype probably taken in the 1870s. Goodspeed's Biography of Dr. Jeffries & Newspaper Obituary for Mrs. Jeffries.
|Jeffries' Frisco Boarding House. In 1883, Dr. T. H. Jeffries and his wife took over the Withers House in Plymouth Junction and ran this small ad in the Peirce City Empire of March 1, 1883. After the Withers House burned in September, 1886, they built the house shown in the photograph at the corner of Euclid & Main, just across the street from the present V. B. Hall building. When Mrs. Jeffries died in 1921, her obituary in the Monett Times noted, "The older railroad men remember the excellent meals served by this industrious woman." This image is from a mounted photograph by an unidentified photographer and shows Mrs. Jeffries and her granddaughter Trink sitting at the corner of the house about 1905-1910. This house burned about 1953.
| Leroy Jeffries' First Store in Monett (Plymouth), 1883-1886. This store was located near the southwest corner of Central Avenue and Main Street. It and most of the town burned on September 8, 1886, and Jeffries rebuilt at the same location. Leroy is standing just to the left of the entrance way, hatless and holding a white package. His father, Dr. T.H. Jeffries, with the white beard, is standing just to the right of the entrance way next to a man who appears to be black. Lloyd B. Jones, who married Leroy's sister Nolia Jeffries, is driving the delivery hack. The man at the extreme left is Charles McBride. The man standing at the door of the little shack at right is Dick Brite of Pierce City. The others are unknown. ID's are from the Monett Times, which reproduced this photograph in a 1930 article on Jeffries as a pioneer merchant.
|Jeffries' First or Second Store in Monett, Mid-to-late 1880s. This appears to be the same store as in the photograph above, but Leroy Jeffries is now bald, the building to the right in the earlier photo is gone and the sign has changed. Since stores in this era were sometimes built from kits, this may be Jeffries' second store (1886-1892), rebuilt from the same kit after the town burned. Faded handwriting on the photo mount identifies the persons in the photo as, left-to-right, Viode Rogers on the sidewalk; Sam Alk (?), T. Clinton and Frank Coatney (?) in the hack; Gene Saxe and Mr. Saxe on the sidewalk between the horse and hack; and Geo. G., Leroy Jeffries and Geo. B. on the sidewalk to the right. The elder Saxe owned a butcher shop in Monett.
|Leroy Jeffries' Home, Built About 1889. Leroy's home was at 100 Lincoln Street, a site buried in 1993 by the approach to the new Burlington Northern overpass on highway 37. Leroy bought the lots in November, 1888, a month before his marriage to Mary Turpin, and probably began construction of the house shortly thereafter. This image is about 1905 to 1910. The smallest child is Mary Jeffries' niece Wilma Turpin. The others, left to right, are Mary, Letha and Trink Jeffries. The dog is Cotton.
|Another Store View. Leroy Jeffries stands with unidentified Monettans on the sidewalk in front of his store. The poster in the window announces that the Sadie Raymond theatrical company will appear January 22. No year is visible, but the Neosho Times mentioned that the Raymond troop was in Neosho in January, 1892, and had visited the area a year earlier. This image is from a cabinet card photograph on the mount of Rino, St. Louis and is intriguing because the photo clearly had a printed caption beneath it at one time, which was blotted out before the negative was printed. The middle word in the caption appears to be "MONETT" but the first and last words are obscured. Perhaps this was originally a town or group promotional piece.
|Jeffries' Third Store in Monett, 1892-1914. This store was located on the northwest corner of Central Avenue and Main Street, just across the street from Jeffries' first two stores. Before highway 37 was built in 1929, Central Avenue was the main road into Monett from the south. Leroy built this store in 1892 and remained there until he went to Cassville as county clerk in 1915. He is shown with his daughter Trink. The photo is about 1905-1910.
|Plymouth and Gonten -- One Town, Two Names. On July 13, 1885, Mary Turpin received two invitations to the same party from local young men. One was addressed from Gonten, Mo., the other from Plymouth. Gonten was the postal name of the town, drawn from the name of a local postmaster. Plymouth was the older name of the town and apparently still the name of the railroad station. Most of Mary's surviving invitations from 1885-1887 used "Gonten" but one dated November 1, 1886, said "Plymouth Mo., Gonten PO." In its daily edition of May 2, 1887, the Peirce City Empire announced that the railroad had changed the name of the town from Plymouth to Monett.
|March, 1888, Early Monett Letterhead. This is a receipt dated March 16, 1888, on the letterhead of Saunders & Crewson, Agents of the Monett Town Company. According to the advertising at upper left, Monett was 4 months old when the letterhead was printed and had 1800 inhabitants. The back of the stationary included a map of the Frisco System.
|Store Inventory, January 1, 1893. The Jeffries' papers include an 8-page inventory of Leroy Jeffries' grocery store on January 1, 1893. He valued his stock on hand at $1,703.89 and was owed $2,397.45 for groceries sold on credit, of which he estimated $511.75 was uncollectable. He owed his creditors $1916.05, but this included $600 payable to his wife. He had on hand 900 pounds of flour, 225 pounds of rice and 180 pounds of sugar, plus 171 pounds of stick candy, 65 pounds of raisins, 60 pounds of soda crackers, 27 pounds of cheese and 8 3/4 pounds of shredded coconut. There were canned fruits and vegetables as well as canned oysters, salmon and sardines. He carried an inventory of 18 brands of tobacco totaling over 300 pounds, plus 850 cigars. There were wash boards, brooms, lamp wicks, stove polish, axle grease and fly killer. The only brand names still recognizable today are Arm & Hammer soda and Ball fruit jars. He valued his two acres of land at $125 and his two horses with hacks & harness at $175. Pages 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
|Certificate of Election to Monett's Board of Aldermen, 1894. Except for a break from 1906-1908, Leroy Jeffries served on Monett's city council continuously from 1893 to 1914. This certificate of election from 1894 was signed by city clerk R. A. Gardner. Leroy's father, Dr. T. H. Jeffries, served on the council in 1888-89 and his brother-in-law Lloyd B. Jones in 1889-1893.
|Dues Receipt, Monett Fraternal Order of Eagles, 1903.
|A Jeffries Advertising Item, 1903-1904. This package of needles advertising the Jeffries store included calendars for 1903 and 1904. Early Monett Advertising.
|Lawson Jeffries, Monett's First Fire Chief, around 1905-1910. James Lawson Jeffries, Leroy's brother, was born in Corsicana, Missouri on August 11, 1870 and died in a car wreck south of Rolla on November 12, 1930. He married Mary Woolsey of Monett on April 30, 1901. He was Monett's fire chief for 18 years. The photograph was taken at Spracklen's Studio in Webb City, MO. The emblem on the hat says "Chief" and the ribbon says "Annual Meeting, Southwestern Firemen's Association, Webb City."
|Lawson Jeffries' Hauling Business. Between 1901 and 1910, Lawson Jeffries owned a grocery store and pool hall in Monett and managed the town's semi-professional baseball team. Around 1910, he entered the coal business, which eventually expanded into a substantial hauling concern. In this 1930s photograph, his chief driver Charles Doennig stands by a Jeffries truck on Front Street, just east of Central, in Monett. Photo courtesy of Randy Doennig, Charles' grandson. Lawson Jeffries Ads.
|Stock Certificate, Monett and Southwestern Construction Company, 1907. Signed by John R. Christiansen (?) as President and H. W. Clons (?) as Secretary. This company was a subsidiary of the St. Louis and Southern Oklahoma Railway Company, which planned to build a railroad from St. Louis to McCalister, Oklahoma.
|Monett Flood, April 10, 1908. This postcard was postmarked April 17, 1908, one week after the flood. Another 1908 Flood View. A Third 1908 Flood View.
|Temperance Parade on Broadway, June 17, 1908. The message on the back of this Logan McKee postcard says this was a "local option" parade, apparently part of an effort to ban the sale of liquor in Monett or perhaps Barry County. Temperance did not fare well in Monett. The 1914 City Directory listed 9 bartenders, 3 saloon keepers, 3 wholesale liquor dealers, 2 beer agents and 1 whiskey dealer. H.C. Cox, the Budweiser distributor, offered home service.
|Monett Chautauqua, July 7-18, 1908. The Chatauqua was an adult education movement which started in 1874 and was named after a lake in New York state. Tent chatauquas traveled from town to town and brought in lecturers, politicians, preachers, teachers and entertainers. The message on the back of this postcard from P.P. to Lora Reese in Cassville says, "Why haven't you come to Monett? The chautauqua has been fine so far. We go every session."
|Coon Holler. A Monett booth, perhaps at a 4th of July celebration. There are several American flags in the photograph, and all of the men except Leroy Jeffries are in summertime shirt sleeves. The word on the front of the booth, partially obscured by the men, might be "Gulick's," which was a Monett clothing store. This image is from an undated postcard.
|The DeChenne, Monett's Aeroplane. From about 1908 through 1911, Monett investors led by L. B. Durnil and U. S. Barnsley sought to build an airplane and were involved in at least three projects with different inventors. One project, the DeChenne, was a success and gave its first public demonstration flight at Monett on July 4, 1911, flown by Monett druggist Logan McKee. It then made an exhibition tour in Oklahoma and Texas. The link leads to a full page on the DeChenne, including newspaper articles and more photographs.
|Stock Certificate, Holbrook Helicopter Aeroplane Co., Monett, 1911. After abandoning its own airplane project at Joplin, this company became the corporate vehicle for building the DeChenne. This stock certificate was issued to Leroy Jeffries and signed by L. B. Durnil as President and U. S. Barnsley as Secretary. The vignette on the stock shows horse drawn wagons bringing ore to a mining smelter -- apparently the best the printer could do to represent the airplane and modern times. Durnil was a former Monett mayor and Barry County probate judge. He or his family owned a Monett dry goods store. Barnsley and his family manufactured cutlery in Monett.
The Barnsley Brothers Cutlery Company was a Monett business in the early 1900's. A stock prospectus published in the Monett Times in July, 1909, said the firm did "nearly $57,000 worth of business during the panic year of 1908 on a capital of $14,700." According to an inflation calculator, in today's dollars, that would be almost $1.2 million of business on a capital of $292,000. More information on Barnsley Brothers.
| Earl Jeffries. Earl Jeffries, Leroy and Mary's oldest child, was born in Monett November 27, 1889, and died in Monett April 3, 1914. He was working as a Frisco switchman at the time of his death and was killed when he fell under a moving train. This image is from a postcard. Newspaper Account of Earl's Death. Earl Jeffries Photo Gallery.
| Frisco Yard Crew, Monett, May 27, 1912. Earl Jeffries is at left. The other three men are unknown, although a note on the back says "compliments of Paddy Clinton 5/27/12." This image is from a postcard. More Frisco Crews.
|1914 Monett City Directory. Monett was a railroad town. If there's any doubt, glance through the pages of the city directory published in 1914. It lists hundreds of men in railroad jobs: engineer, brakeman, fireman, signalman, switchman, conductor; station master, dining car chef, ticket agent, claims agent, postal clerk, express messenger; car inspector, coach cleaner, boilermaker, machinist, hostler, steel gang, section hand; works in yards, shops, round house, freight house, cinder pit. The link leads to a complete scan of the 60-page booklet.
|Martin's White Sox, 1908. Earl Jeffries is in the center of the back row with the Monett park hill in the distance behind him. The others are unidentified. This image is from a postcard. More Monett Baseball & Other Sports.
|A Photographic Fad. Earl Jeffries poses on a crescent moon. The Jeffries papers have two other photographs with different young men on different moons. Apparently every photographer had his own variation of this set, which may have been especially popular in arcades at fairs and carnivals. Ralph Turpin and Bant Roderick are on the right in their respective photographs. The other young men in the photos are unidentified. These images are from undated postcards. Ralph Turpin on the Moon.
Bant Roderick on the Moon.
|Dues Receipt, Monett Elks Lodge, 1912. Earl Jeffries' receipt.
|B. P. O. Elks New Club House, Monett, Mo. Undated postcard, but according to the Monett Times, the new club house opened April 1, 1911. The Elks' Minstrels.
|Theodore Roosevelt in Monett, September 23, 1912. In the 1912 presidential election, Theodore Roosevelt ran as independent on the Progressive or "Bull Moose" ticket against President William Howard Taft and Woodrow Wilson. This postcard shows his whistle stop campaign appearance in Monett. My grandfather Alba Banks is standing in the right center foreground wearing a dark hat with crossed suspenders showing against the back of his white shirt.
|Letha Jeffries. Leroy and Mary Jeffries had two daughters. Letha Jeffries was born in Monett July 31, 1891 and died in Monett May 16, 1968. She married Wiley Wayne O'Banion May 15, 1924 in Benton County, Arkansas. This is a studio portrait by Jenks, Monett, about 1905-1910. Letha Jeffries Photo Gallery
|Trink Jeffries. Lalah Irene Jeffries, called Trink, was born in Monett October 6, 1894 and died in Monett June 28, 1980. She married Cecil Long in Monett March 20, 1929. This snapshot shows her with an unidentifed WW I soldier, probably in Cassville about 1917-18. Trink Jeffries Photo Gallery
|Now That's a Swing!. Letha and Trink Jeffries, with their dog Cotton, enjoy an elaborate platform swing. The image is from a mounted photograph by an unidentifed photographer, about 1905-1910.
|Rock Quarry City Park Ca. 1900-1905. In this photograph with identifications and the note "City Park" on the back, Letha Jeffries is sitting at right with George Roderick beside her and Charles Woosley behind her. The boy at left is Guy Miller. The other girls are Lena Roderick and Pearl Miller in unknown order. A similar Jeffries photograph, too poor in quality to reproduce, is labeled "Old Rock Quarry City Park." Monett's current South Park was the Meador Farm purchased in 1923 and seen from the north in the background of the photograph of the 1908 Martin's Baseball Team. This quarry photograph may well have been taken there when it was still private land. The east-facing slope above today's soccer fields, often used for snow sledding, was created by fill over a quarry and cave entrance.
|Cigar Factory Girls, Monett, 1913. Ruth Roderick, a friend of Trink Jeffries, is the girl in black at front left; the others are unknown. This image is from a postcard with "cigar factory girls 1913" penciled on the back. William Fredrick opened his cigar factory in Monett in July 1909. A man named Runkel opened a factory about 1910/11. Fredrick was listed in the 1914 Monett City Directory but Runkel was gone, so these women were most likely employed by Fredrick. Fredrick's Cigar Tin, Copyright 1915. Fredrick Ads 1914.
|United States Express. The driver is not identified on this photograph, but looks like Bant Roderick, identified on other surviving Jeffries photos. Undated, but probably early to mid teens. Monett's E&F Laundry Wagon.
|Herron Westbay Frisco Photo. Harry Westbay was the Frisco claims agent in Monett from 1906 to 1932. His oldest son Herron was fascinated by trains and, as an adult, worked for the engineering department of the New York Central for over 30 years. "Photo by Herron Westbay" is printed on the back of this postcard, which may have been sold at the Frisco depot. James Henry Turpin (1865-1945) is at right. He was Mary Turpin Jeffries' brother and a Frisco employee. The other man is unidentified. Undated, but around 1910. Another Jim Turpin Photograph.
|Frisco Engineer J. J. Kenney and son Bill. Joseph J. Kenney was a prominent Frisco engineer in Monett. He started with the railroad in Ft. Smith in 1885, came to Monett in 1897 and retired in 1935. According to the 1900 Barry County Census, he was born in Indiana about March, 1868, but his parents were born in Ireland, which you might guess from his son's appearance. Many early railroaders had an Irish heritage. These images are from undated postcards, but around 1910.
|Monett Street Scene. Bill Kenney, an early boyfriend of Trink Jeffries, on an unidentified Monett street. William Henry Kenney was born October 13, 1892 in Arkansas and died February 26, 1972 in Monett. He worked for the Frisco from 1915 to 1935, then succeeded Cecil Long, Trink's husband, as city clerk of Monett, a job he held for 18 years. This image is from an undated postcard. More Monett Street Scenes.
|Barry County Officers, Courthouse Steps, November 29, 1916. Leroy Jeffries, front row left, was Barry County Clerk from 1915 to 1922. Behind him are his clerks, Mabel Messer (backrow left) and his daughter, Letha Jeffries. The others are unknown. The date is written on the back of the photo.
|Future Bank Robber Mearl Turpin, About 1917. Mearl Turpin was Mary Turpin Jeffries' nephew. He received a serious head injury working for the Frisco before World War I, which the family believed explained his later turn to crime. About 1920, he robbed a train in Kansas and spent 12 years in the federal prison at Leavenworth. Then, on July 17, 1937, he was shot to death by highway patrolmen near Marshfield, Missouri, after robbing a Springfield bank. Under a banner headline, the Springfield newspaper ran ghoulish photos of his body and the crowd staring at it in a Marshfield funeral home. More Mearl Turpin.
|Stock Certificate, Barry County Oil and Gas Company, 1921. Signed by R. O. Bodine as President and E. R. Perriman as Secretary.
|Wayne O'Banion, Mahutska Mining Co., 1923. Wayne O'Banion was born near Aurora, Missouri, March 20, 1898, and died in Springfield December 28, 1958. He married Letha Jeffries May 15, 1924, in Bentonville, Arkansas. He is shown here, at right, working for the Mahutska Mining Company in Picher, Oklahoma, in 1923. He later worked for the Railway Ice Company in Monett and managed the Jeffries garage.
|Ku Klux Klan, Monett, 1924 Membership Card. Wayne O'Banion's 1924 membership card in the KKK, with a pencil rubbing of the embossed seal. Reportedly, Letha Jeffries put an end to this. The membership wasn't renewed. More Wayne O'Banion.
|Leroy Jeffries' First Gas Station in Monett, 1923-29. After serving as Barry County Clerk, Jeffries returned to Monett in 1923 and built this gas station and garage on the northwest corner of Central Avenue and Main Street, the location of his third grocery store. He became a Sinclair dealer on May 1, 1924. The view here looks north up Central. When highway 37 was built in 1929, he built a new station on the highway.
|Jeffries at the Pumps of His First Station.
Apart from its Jeffries connection, this building has an interesting history. On September 21, 1931, after Jeffries had moved his station, Monett night watchman E. L. Hagler was shot by burglars in the building, then the Hildreth garage. Hagler died October 21, 1931, and was the only Monett police officer ever killed in the line of duty.
|Jeffries' Second Gas Station in Monett, 1929-1960s. This station was located at the north end of the Burlington Northern overpass on highway 37, about 1/4 mile north of the junction of highways 37 and 60. It opened July 3, 1929, and remained a service station into the mid-1960s. The last member of the Jeffries family to run the station retired about 1963. This photo is around 1950.
|Leroy and Mary Jeffries at the Pumps of their Second Station, 1930s. The sign in the window advertises Junge's Bread. Jeffries Motor Company Photo Gallery
|The Old Blue Buzzard, 1934. During the Depression, the National Recovery Administration ("NRA") sought to spread work around by ensuring "fair" competition. Businesses subject to its rules were supposed to display the NRA emblem, a blue eagle, on a placard in their window. Leroy Jeffries threw his away. When a government gumshoe demanded to know where it was, Leroy reportedly said, "Well, Mister, that old blue buzzard flew off to crap and just never came back." The Supreme Court eventually ruled the NRA unconstitutional. This NRA letter complained that Jeffries was giving exceptional service to certain truck lines in exchange for their business. The main firm involved was the Jones Truck Line out of Springdale, Arkansas.
|Monett's 50 Anniversary Celebration 1937. For the parade celebrating Monett's 50th anniversary in 1937, Leroy Jeffries arranged a covered wagon to emphasize his status as a pioneer merchant. In this snapshot, Monett's 1937 Mayor Clyde McKee (left) stands next to Monett's 1887 Mayor Stephen Courdin. The boys in the back of wagon are unidentified. In Another Anniversary Photo, McKee and Courdin stand with Jim Hildreth, who drove his 1907 chain-drive Buick in the parade. A Third Anniversary Photo.
|Ozark Fruit Growers Association, Monett. A strawberry crate label, undated. The Ozark Fruit Grower's Association was listed in the 1914 Monett City Directory but this label may be considerably later. I have seen the slogan "The Land of a Million Smiles" used on Ozarks brochures as early as 1930, but it may have continued in use for many years.
|Over the years, Monett was home to a number of rival fruit growers associations. This is a label from the Growers Mutual Distributing Company, probably from the 1920s (image & dating courtesy of eBay seller labelman).
|City of Monett Stationary, 1932-34. Monett's offical stationary for 1932-34 carried a full page promotion for Monett on the back, emphasizing Monett as a railroad division point and as a center for stock raising and the small fruit industry. It also added the racist comment that Monett had "6000 good citizens -- all white." This same stationary design was apparently also used by some Monett businesses. I have seen it with a Callaway Furniture letterhead.
|Letterhead, City of Monett Stationary, 1932-34. Cecil Long, Trink Jeffries' husband, was city clerk and treasurer at the time this stationary was issued. L. H. Ferguson was mayor. Note the Monett advertising symbol, Magnet of the Southwest. The Monett centennial book shows it in a photograph as early as 1925 but with a strawberry rather than a map in the center.
|Cecil Long, 1937. Cecil Long was born in the Waldensian community near Monett on October 5, 1901 and died near Eureka Springs, Arkansas, August 30, 1969. He was the son of Henry Long and Catherine Courdin. He married Trink Jeffries March 20, 1929 in Monett. After working as a fireman on the Frisco railroad, he was Monett city clerk in the early 1930s, Barry County Recorder of Deeds from 1935 to 1950 and state representative from Barry County from 1951 to 1957. He was a member of Monett's legendary 1921 football team and a locally noted outdoorsman active in the Barry County Hunting and Fishing Association and Monett Sportsman's League. Cecil Long Photo Gallery.
|Trink Long and Congressman Hall, About 1960. As the daughter and wife of public officer holders, Trink Jeffries Long was active in Republican politics for many years. Here she is second from right, standing beside Congressman Durward G. Hall in the center. Undated, but probably 1960. The others are unknown. Another 1960 Political Photograph.

Website: http://blockislandinfo.com
Block Island features 17 miles of pristine beaches, protected by lighthouses and spectacular bluffs, and surrounded by rolling roads and winding paths. Many of the beaches encompassing the island are isolated and nearly untouched providing breathtaking views and utmost tranquility. Four miles of some of New England's finest beach front can be found at Crescent Beach. Crescent Beach stretches along the Island's east coast from Old Harbor (where the ferries dock) to Clay Head. It connects Surf Beach and Baby Beach to the south with Scotch and Mansion Beaches, to the north. Block Island has been called the "Bermuda of the North," so it is only fitting that most visitors choose bicycles or mopeds as their primary form of island transportation. Many beach-goers find it easy to walk straight to the beach from the ferry landing, or rent a bike or moped to explore the beach further out.

You could have a good Hour if you were to graft if not done in the heat of the day also if you are in a room where there is no wind but if you do it out side under the shade tree about 30 minutes, if you grafted about the crack of day light when the humidity is high this will help keep them moist
if possible prime you grafts.
I attended a queen rearing class and after lunch, probably at about 1:00 or so, the grafting frames were pulled out and wrapped in a moist towel. I was the last person to graft at about 4:00 and I got 5 of 6 cells accepted. We did every other cell dry graft/diluted R.J. graft. Definitely not ideal but it goes to show you the kind of abuse they can take as long as they don't dry out.

A few years back i grafted from a half length deep frame and place in the back of the truck bed was going to leave it out a day and put it back in and was going to use the water hose to rinse out the few remaining larva then place back in the breeder hive. it was 2 days before i put it back in the breeder forgot to rinse it out when i was at home
During this time the frame was out it got down in the 40's and stayed cloudy 60-70 during the days
So when i placed it back in the breeder hive with out rinsing out i thought the larva would be all dead and they would clean them out.
I was wrong there was about a dozen larva that they fed and grew out.
when i went to graft 4 days later they were capped
About 4 days ago it was in the 90's i was putting queen cell in I had cull one and left it on the hive it had been there for about 2 hours in the shade it was 2 days from hatch and laying on it's side. came across a nuc that the workers was starting to lay so i went and got it didn't have any other cells so i try it and marked the nuc ck on the day of hatch she looked perfect. I thought for laying on its side that long and 2 days from hatch really didn't think she would be formed right.

The Milwaukee Brewers announced today that manager Matt Erickson, pitching coach Dave Chavarria, hitting coach Dusty Rhodes, and athletic trainer Jeff Paxson, and strength & conditioning specialist Christian Polega will be back in the Rattlers dugout for next season.
Erickson, an
Appleton native, will enter his third season as the manager of the Rattlers. Wisconsin
went 78-61 in the 2012 regular season and claimed its first playoff spot since
2005 by winning the first half Western Division title.
The Rattlers went 7-2 in their playoff run to claim the first Midwest
League pennant by a team from the Fox Cities since 1984.
In two seasons - including the playoffs, Erickson is 152-135 as the
Rattlers manager.
"I am excited
to be back with the Rattlers," said Erickson.
"Last year was a fantastic season and with all of the changes to the
stadium for 2013 I can't wait to get to work with a great staff.
I can't guarantee a repeat, but I can promise that we will work to make
the players on the team improve every day."
returns for his second season as the pitching coach of the Timber Rattlers.
The native of Burnaby, British Columbia is in his second season in the
Brewers minor league system after spending eleven years as a coach and
coordinator in the Texas Rangers organization.
Wisconsin's pitchers compiled a 3.83ERA during the regular season.
Over the 81 innings of their nine playoff games, Wisconsin pitchers had
an ERA of 2.00 and struck out 71 while walking 17 on the way to the
Rhodes, a

Wisconsin's hitters for the third straight season.
Rhodes returned to the Brewers organization in 2011 after 23 seasons as
the head coach at the University of North Florida.
The 2012 Timber Rattlers set a franchise record for home runs in a season
by clubbing 107 long balls in 139 games. Five
different Wisconsin players reached double digits in home runs last season.
Paxson is back

Southwest Beef & Rice Skillet RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 1-1/2 cups uncooked instant rice
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 can (15 ounces) Ranch Style beans (pinto beans in seasoned tomato sauce)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
- Cook rice according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the rice, beans, broth, tomato sauce, chili powder, salt, cumin and pepper; heat through. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover and cook for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 5 servings.
Reviews for Southwest Beef & Rice Skillet
"This was a big hit in my house. I used precooked brown rice (frozen and microwaved before adding), left out the salt and used small red beans in place of the Ranch Style beans. There were no leftovers, so I guess that means it's a winner!"
"Yum! My husband and kids loved this! I switched to regular cheese for the kids."
"Loved it but made a few changes to turn down the heat: used reg. rice, cooked it then added it. couldn't find the beans so used reg. pinto beans & added another 1/2 c. tomato sauce to compensate. Used only 1/2 tsp chili powder & 1/2 an onion. Also used 4 cheese blend Mexican lowfat cheese. It was still terrific."
"Easy and fast meal. The Pepper Jack cheese adds a nice spice. I used brown rice adding it uncooked with an additional 1/2 c. of beef broth and cooked mixture until the rice was done. I served it with corn and tortilla chips. My husband loved it, adding sour cream and lettuce."
"I needed a quick meal for a lot of people using things I had on hand. I doubled this recipe and put in a crock pot. They really liked it!"
"This was okay... Might be better to use salsa in this rather than tomato sauce..."
"Was a fast and easy meal. I would make Texas Skillet before I would make this again."
"The weaker palates in the family used cheddar rather than pepper jack as it was definitely spicy! love it!"
"My guys really liked this one. It was quick and easy to prepare. Flour tortillas and taco chips were a great accent along with sour cream. I did have a hard time finding the Ranch style beans though."
"We substituted brown instant rice and balck beans and used far less cheese than called for. Yummy and filling."

These words are almost identical in meaning, and at first glance appear to have the same etymology; but according to OED, they came from two very different origins.
"Cogitation" comes from a Latin word which was a contraction of co- + the Latin for "agitate" (one of the senses of "agitate" being "to turn over in the mind, revolve, weigh, consider"), so co-agitare became cogitare.
"Cognition" is basically co- + the Greek for "know" (co-gnostic).
So we have an example of two different Latin words evolving toward eachother. Is this a coincidence? Could the contraction of the former occur as a result of influence from the latter? I don't have dates for the earliest examples of these words, so I can't verify anything. Anyone else?
Are there other examples like this that people can find?

Marion offers Small Business Boot Camp
MARION, Va. - The Town of Marion is offering a shortened, "more intense" version of its popular "Small Business Boot Camp Tuesday evenings in June at the Marion Town Hall.
The program offers participants information designed to prep them to draft their own business plan and present to the class for the opportunity to win up to $5,000 in grant funds to offset rent and utilities for the first six months of operation to qualifying businesses locating in Marion's historic downtown and business district.
"This is a shortened, more intense version of the eight-week class we usually offer," said Ken Heath, class organizer. "We realize folks' time gets tight in the summer, and we want to continue to offer this great opportunity for entrepreneurs to hone their skills."
The class is offered free of charge, and existing business owners, along with entrepreneurs from across the region, are welcome to participate. "We've had folks from Blountville to Richlands to Wythe County join us for the class," said Heath. "The class is open to everyone, but the competition for grant funds is restricted to businesses locating in Marion and our downtown district. But we have great partners that can offer financing just about anywhere."
"The normal eight-week class covers the topics of small business a little more in depth," said Heath. "This class is more for folks who have a basic understanding of the business plan, or maybe have had a business in the past. We're covering a lot of ground in a short amount of time, and bringing in experts in each of the fields to answer specific questions each night."
The class is offered through a grant from Virginia Main Street and from Wells Fargo. It is a partnership between the Town of Marion, Marion Downtown!, People Incorporated, The Virginia Department of Business Assistance, and local sponsors. Preregistration is encouraged to guarantee seating. The group will offer their traditional eight-week class again in Fall 2013.
For additional information on Marion's "Small Business Boot Camp" call Marion Downtown at (276) 783-4190 or email email@example.com <mailto:email@example.com>
INFO: This four week class is designed for existing business owners and entrepreneurs who have either previously completed one of our "Boot Camps" or have worked on a business plan to understand the basic concepts of small business. The intense pace of this class will take three weeks to explore in-depth three of the major concepts of small business success presented by local experts in each of the three topics. On the fourth night, participants will present their plans to be eligible for up to $2,500 in funding to expand their existing small business or to start their own small business. THE GRANTS ARE LIMITED TO TWO (2) DOWNTOWN BUSINESSES AND ONE (1) TOWN OF MARION BUSINESS. The class is open to everyone; however, due to grant restrictions, only eligible businesses that are currently located in a target area and are expanding or eligible businesses locating in a target area can receive the grant funds.

Joseph Conrad, Hip-Pocket Size; THE PORTABLE CONRAD. Edited and with an introduction and notes by Morton Dauwen Zabel. The Viking Portable Library. 760 pp. New York: The Viking Press. $2.
By WILSON FOLLETT ();
October 19, 1947,
, Section Book Review, Page BR5, Column , words
THERE are some major and central reasons, along with whatever ancillary ones, for a faith that Joseph Conrad is going to be read more rather than less in the coming decades. In the twenty-three years since his death it has become rather the fashion to treat him as Bernard Shaw used to treat Shakespeare: that is, as an author outgrown.

When it comes to VIP privileges, Akhilesh Yadav refuses to be left behind
Uttar Pradesh's most watched political battle has moved to the tarmac. In January this year, BSP chief Mayawati had haggled with the civil aviation ministry until they allowed her the privilege of driving right up to aircraft, accompanied by a personal security officer. Now, peeved Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has filed a request for the same privilege. It appears to be the creme de la creme of entitlements, distributed more selectively than lal battis and parking space.
VIP privileges seem to be like catnip to politicians, no matter how they fashion their public image. Akhilesh and Mayawati, for instance, have very different political styles. Mayawati is remote and queenly, putting party colleagues in the shade, intensely concerned with the business of iconising herself. This is evident in the massive Mayawati statues found in UP's parks and public squares, and the phalanx of stone elephants at Dalit memorials that seem to herald her presence. At BSP rallies, she stands apart and alone; no other BSP member is allowed to crowd the frame. SP's political outings, in contrast, present a family portrait, as a gaggle of Yadavs vie for attention on stage. Akhilesh is the impetuous new political talent who must be chastised by his father, SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, from time to time. The chief minister favours a more conciliatory image than his predecessor, doling out laptops to schoolchildren, wife at his side. But the need to come across as a dynamic, accessible leader does not interfere with haranguing for more elite VIP privileges.
The competition in UP for vehicular access on the tarmac draws its charge from one of Indian politics's most implacable regional rivalries. Like the DMK vs AIADMK in Tamil Nadu and the TMC vs Left in West Bengal, the enmity between the SP and the BSP has shaped the politics of the state. Each party has seized the chance to show up the other in the assembly, in pet political projects and now, over VIP access.

Monkeypod Wailea Menus
Our philosophy on food at the Monkeypod Kitchen by Merriman is really quite simple. We have three core beliefs.
First and foremost, your food should taste great! Fortunately, the food that grows in Hawaii is amazing. A sweeter mango does not exist than the one you would pick off Aunties tree on a hot summer day in Lahaina. We proudly source our produce and meat locally so it as fresh as possible. Our simple and thoughtful preparations always let the freshness shine through. Lucky Live Hawaii!
Second, we believe your dining experience with us has the power to invoke a sense of nostalgia for a simpler way of life. We live in a world where factories make the majority of our clothes and science labs create our breakfast cereals. At the Monkeypod Kitchen by Merriman, handcrafted is making a big time comeback! When something is handcrafted, be it the surfboards that hang above our bar, the ramen noodles from the Iwamoto family, or Peter's strawberry cream pie recipe, you can bet there is a face and a story behind it. We are passionate about promoting this connection of past and present as it is a way for memories to live on.
And lastly, we are committed to doing what's right. Each choice we make in our day to day operations can have a huge impact on our local community and environment. We continuously ask ourselves, is this product sustainable, how can we create less waste, and are we doing everything we can to leave the world a better place than we found it?

Clarisa Morales Roberts is a Consultant, Writer, Veteran, Burner, Traveler and Proud Mom
As a consultant I specialize in communications, infrastructure, administration and operations for creatives, small businesses and nonprofit organizations. I'm typically the person people call when they want to make things happen. I do jobs of all sizes and will even train you or your staff to do what I do.
When I was ten years old, I use to sit at my sister's manual typewriter, willing myself to learn how to type, so I could become a writer. Since then, I've been a freelance news writer, a slam poet, a blogger, a grant writer, wordsmith, and a video story teller. The only other job I enjoyed as much as writing was being a soldier. I have a strong interest in increasing communication opportunities for women, people of color and the disenfranchised. I also now have a growing collection of manual typewriters.
I served for a total of nine years as a member of the United States Army and Army Reserve. My service took me to Vicenza Italy, Grafenwoehr Germany, Fort Hood Texas, Jefferson Barracks Missouri, Fort Knox Kentucky, Fort Bragg North Carolina and the Precidio of Monterey California. Being a soldier made me who I am today.
Community Activities
I coordinated Get Out The Vote drives, Computer Literacy Courses and Community Narrative Activities. For a time I was also actively involved in local politics.
My family started going to Burning Man in 2003, and I can honestly say the Playa has had a profound impact on how we live our lives. We strive to employ the Ten Principles in our daily lives as we traverse the Default World. I now also work the event as a member of the Gate, Perimeter & Exodus crew.
I love adventure. Thanks to time served in the U.S. Army, I had great opportunities for travel. I have lived in California, Texas, Italy, Illinois and Japan, and have traveled to Germany, Switzerland, England, the Azores, Canada, and multiple states in the continental United States. Currently I split my time between California, Saskatchewan, Canada and Black Rock City.

I wake up early to see the Cape Tribulation point, which if you ask me is a bit overrated. I take a few more walks to see the environment. In a way I hope to see a Cassowarry. It's a big prehistorical bird (up to 2 meters) with massive leggs and claws not able to fly. They are endangered and can be very dangerous and even deadly if you cross their path. I spot a small one of 70 cms trying to find food on the ground. It doesn't seem to notice me..
It's high tide and the beach dissappeared completely and only mangroves are left. This looks interesting, a tropical rainforest almost in the sea. I want to take a picture of this and move close to te water.. And suddenly I thought I might wanna stay away from the edge because of the saltwater crocs.. So I took my pictures on a safe distance :)
After this little jungle track it's time to get back to Cairns, enjoy my last long drive before I hopefully sell my car!

Meadowland trailer feat. Kid Cudi
Here's a first look at Kid Cudi's latest film venture. He'll play a part in Meadowland, headlined by the beautiful and very talented Olivia Wilde and Luke Wilson. Complex released an exclusive scene with Cudi, who seems to be playing a musician (naturally) and it's pretty captivating, quick scene.
The trailer is also below as he and Olivia Wilde traded positive vibes about it on Twitter today. It features the haunting production (and one of my favorite from Cud) for "Unfuckwittable".
In the hazy aftermath of an unimaginable loss, Sarah (Olivia Wilde) and Phil (Luke Wilson) come unhinged, recklessly ignoring the repercussions.

Contax g 28mm F2.8 Distagon or Biogon
I read a post here recently that said the distagon was sharper than the Biogon version.
I checked on ebay and 2 come up as Contax g 28mm distagon F2.8. They are selling for a bit more than the Biogon.
But the photos show Biogon clearly on the front of the lens and it looks identical to the Biogon versions.
Is there in fact a separate Distagon model and if so does it have any identifying marks so you can tell?
Contax G 28mm is a Biogon. Contax C/Y mount 28mm SLR lens is a Distagon. These are two different animals.
Thanks for that. Would a cy lens fit into a Contax g adapter do you think?
Biogon is a rangefinder design where the rear element is close to the image plane(sensor), the Distagon is an SLR design where the rear element has more "distance" from the imaging plane.
So, no, the C/Y Distagon will not mount to a Contax G mount directly, you may be able to kludge it if you can find an adapter to Contax G, but I doubt it, but why would you when there are easier ways to mount C/Y to NEX.
We're the references you talking about the Contax G or ZM Biogon?
How about asking the seller what lens he really has?
All the Contax G 28 mm are Biogon and will give the Nex 7 sensor magenta corners that can be removed via Adobe DNG FlatField plug-in. For the Contax Distagon 28mm (for SLRs) that is not a problem.
Thanks for the replies. As far as Contax g or ZM biogon I believe the it was Contax g.

CFO Signals™: 2013 Q4 Results
Muted 2014 expectations despite improving economies
CFOs are still not planning for substantial growth and a growing number may be becoming more defensive.
Explore content
This quarter's survey marks the first calendar year in which CFOs' own-company optimism stayed net positive for an entire calendar year. In fact, in three of our quarterly surveys (including this one), the proportion of CFOs citing improving optimism was more than 30 points above the proportion citing declining optimism and the lowest margin was a still-strong 18 points.
This is certainly good news and it seems very consistent with global economic conditions that are generally improving and with U.S. equity markets that are again hitting record highs. And this sentiment is particularly encouraging in a quarter punctuated by yet another legislative stalemate that left the U.S. government shutdown for 16 days.
But, when you dig a bit deeper into what CFOs are saying about their companies' business focus and performance expectations this quarter, the picture becomes less encouraging and more evocative of concerns about what the next few years will really hold for the fundamentals of business performance. It is good that conditions are improving, but real recovery relies on a level of expansion that has seemed "right around the corner" for a few years now. And this quarter's findings suggest CFOs are still not planning for substantial growth — and that a growing number may be becoming more defensive.

Thought my PS4 was OK ... Yeah Good Joke![ Edited ]
So thought of a title that would probably bring some viewers in.
Over the last few months, I've had minor problems with my PS4.
The game would randomly get ejected while I'm playing. There would be 3 beeping sounds at random times, sometimes when I even just touched the console.
As of late (I mean like the last few days), I've come home from University as we get a 1 week break. So I brought my PS4 ofcourse, with me. The problems started happening again, but now more frequently. It wouldn't allow me to insert any disc (its like the mechanism that pulls in the disc and ejects it was just refusing to read anything and it kept making this loud fan-based noise as if it was trying to read something, and it would make this noise every 10 seconds or so).
So I figured shutting the PS4 off would fix it like it had before on different occassions.
Well, turning it off didn't help.
So I pulled the power cord out and waited 30 seconds and re-plugged it. Same **bleep**.
Sometimes I'm lucky to even start a game up, but it just ejects the disc and my game closes randomly. Its really annoying.
I don't know what to do. This has happened for CoD and BF4. And the beeping sound still happens even when there is no disc in the console! Like I was playing Outlast last night and it randomly beeped. The console is in an open area, plenty of room and space. No overheating should happen as I've kept the PS3 there and other systems and they were fine.
Anyone got any ideas? Should I just send it back to Sony?
Hit me up with any ideas. Thanks homies.

Re: Thought my PS4 was OK .. Yeah Good Joke!
This is the auto eject problem people have been talking about in the Support forum (listed under another problem where some people can't seem to eject their discs). I'm having the same issue right now, but seems less severe than yours. I'm able to go through entire days not hearing the beeping if I just keep the system unplugged for a while after every time it starts happening.
I would suggest calling support and probably getting a replacement from them.
Re: Thought my PS4 was OK .. Yeah Good Joke!
There's obviously something wrong with the internal hardware.
Sorry to say but you wil probably have to contact Sony and go through the replacement process. They will probably send you a new one provided you have it activated and registered.

The Queen Mary 2 (or QM2 as her friends like to call her) is making her [% 332882 | | Brooklyn debut %] on Saturday, April 15. While most of us aren't invited to the official ceremonies, New York area residents and hardcore fans willing to get to New York City can catch a glimpse of the famous ocean liner.
Cunard has very kindly provided a list of vantage points from which you can watch and cheer on the QM2 as she departs at 5:00 p.m. this Saturday. They include:
- Valentino Pier (also known as Coffey Street Pier) located on the waterfront in Red Hook at Coffey Street. Coffey Street is off Van Brunt Street.
- Beard Street Pier, an artist gallery complex located at the end of Van Brunt Street on the waterfront. The Beard Street Pier will be open to the public during daylight hours.
- Bay Ridge/Shore Parkway Bike Path, which runs along the bay between Bay Ridge Avenue and the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in Brooklyn.
- Battery Park, a public park located at the southern tip of Manhattan.
- Staten Island Ferry, which departs from the St. George Ferry Terminal at 1 Bay Street, Richmond Terrace, Staten Island, and arrives at the Whitehall Terminal at 1 Whitehall Street at South Street in Lower Manhattan.
If you do go, let me know how the Queen is doing. She and I have yet to meet in person.

My face is constantly burning from Epiduo Gel, so I don't know what to do. It doesn't seem like it's working either, but I was told it gets worse before it gets better. Is this true?
Burning Sensation from Epiduo Gel
Doctor Answers 8
Acne Medications That Cause Irritation
Epiduo is a combination product that contains Benzoyl Peroxide and Adapalene gel. Both of these agents have been found to be extremely effective in treating acne. However, in some people, the agents can be irritating and cause burning, redness, or even scaling and peeling. I tell patients that treating acne is sometimes finding the correct balance. While you want results from the medications, you also want to minimize any side effects. Your skin also becomes used to these agents over time and the side effects can go away. If my patients complain of these types of side effects, I tell them to try using the medication every-other-day or twice-a-week until their skin gets used to them. Using a light moisturizer that is non-comedogenic (i.e. non-acne forming) can also help sooth the skin without causing you to breakout. If the irritation continues, you may need to see your dermatologists to see if a milder treatment regimen, or one better suited for sensitive skin, can be prescribed. Adam Mamelak, MD
That's a common problem
The other method is to use a moisturiser first, then a tiny application of Epiduo.
Some patients, especially with sensitive skin can not tolerate this medication, and will need to go onto a milder Vitamin A combination.
Dr Davin Lim
Laser and Cosmetic Dermatologist
Brisbane and Gold Coast
All topical retinoids can have side effects such as burning.
You can help prevent this side effect by using Epiduo sparingly - a pea-sized amount is enough for your whole face. Start by using it every 2-3 days, and then add a day as each week passes until you can use it every night. I recommend using a ceramide-containing oil-free moisturizer such as CeraVe facial lotion to help your skin stay soft while you're using Epiduo. Apply Epiduo after you've moisturized.
I hope this helps!

Burning From Acne Medications
A burning sensation can sometimes occur when using topical acne medications, such as Epiduo, on your skin. Epiduo continues two different ingredients, adapalene and benzoyl peroxide, which both treat acne in a different way. However, these ingredients can sometimes cause dryness on the skin, which results in a burning sensation on the next time that Epiduo is applied.
To avoid this burning sensation, I recommend not using the Epiduo for a few days, and simply using a gentle cleanser and moisturizer. In 3 days, restart the Epiduo - using only a pea-size amount of the medication to treat the entire face. After applying the Epiduo, apply a thin layer of moisturizer on top to prevent dryness. Start by applying Epiduo in this manner every other night. If that goes well, then increase by adding one night a week, as tolerated.
Epiduo and acne
Some patients have a true allergy to benzoyl peroxide. Most get an irritation that looks like an allergy. If you are irritated by the product, first, try to apply moisturizer after using it. If that does not work, skip a day in between.
In studies, acne does not seem to get worse before it gets better, But from experience, most dermatologists will tell you that's it's true.
Epiduo Gel Allergic reaction
You might be having an allergic reaction to the Benzoyl Peroxide ingredient in Epi-Duo. The other possiblitlity is that your skin is sensitive and you might not be able to tolerate Differin gel.
Stop using it for a week. Buy some OXY 5 and see if that causes the same sensation. If so you are probably allergic to Bezoyl Peroxide.
You also should call your dermatologist and tell them of your problem.
These medications should not burn. What we generally talk about when we say that it can get worse rather than better is a moderate break out around the third week, not burning or itching.
Good luck.
Burning from Epiduo
1. Use a gentle, non-irritating cleanser. Medicated cleansers containing salicylic or glycolic acid will further irritate your skin.
2. Use a moisturizing cream, but DO NOT use one retinol, retinaldehyde, or anything similar in it.
3. Apply the moisturizer first, then put a thin layer of Epiduo on top of it.
4. If you are still burning, use Epiduo every other night and gradually increase your frequency over time to every night.
If you are still burning even after these steps, talk to your dermatologist about a possible allergy or irritation to Epiduo's other active ingredient, benzoyl peroxide.
Many people can become allergic to BP. I would stop the topical and call your dermatologist. I am not a big fan of benzoyl peroxide, since it is an oxidizing agent, and the trend is towards anti-oxidants. Furthermore, up to 10% of users can become allergic to BP. I think differin is a great product by itself, and the BP does not add much.

Saying you don't like the Mustang because its everywhere?...
I don't follow. Old ones with the exceptions of things like the Mach 1s, Shelby's and Terminators were cheap RWD sports cars. They weren't much good at the sports part, but they were cheap to maintain and cheap to fix with the downside being your insurance might raise your premiums because of it being a Mustang.
For the new ones? I'm glad more people have them. V6 or V8 it's a great car to have and the GT doesn't spend it's time spanking the Camaro SS, it now harasses M3s that are twice the price. That's the kind of performance it's putting out.
So I could care less if 20% of my city is comprised of Mustangs. Gotta look at the value the car brings to the table and how good of a expense it is.
Discounting the current gen Civic which is truly a failed generation, the 8th gen was probably one of the better if not best small cars to buy. Who cares if everyone and their mother had one, it was that well made compared to the rest.

It's interesting about the preconceptions people have about carrying in a church. I hear people frequently say (automatically assume) that you aren't allowed to have a gun in a church. I've looked into it but I couldn't find anything that said that I couldn't carry in church. I asked my instructor (that I got my CCDW through) about it and he said that it's not illegal for my state (KY).

Samuel L. Jackson says men need to check for cancer
Hollywood actor Samuel L. Jackson says that men need to take better care of their health.
He says more needs to be done, especially when it comes to checking for signs of testicular and prostate cancer.
The star, 64, is backing a new charity which aims to raise awareness of cancers in men.
"I've friends who've passed away. I've had friends who've had scares," he said.
"I've had friends who've got early detection and got treated and now they're clear."
Although it is relatively rare, testicular cancer is the most common type of cancer to affect younger men, according to the NHS.
The charity Cancer Research UK says around 2,000 men in the UK are diagnosed with the disease every year.
Other stars have spoken out about cancer in recent weeks including Michael Douglas who talked about contracting throat cancer.
One For The Boys is the new charity Samuel L. Jackson is supporting. It hopes to get men talking more openly about the issue.
"Understand that cancer does not pick a race or sex or anything else, it's just a disease", he said.
"A lot of people die every year for reasons they shouldn't die because they could have got early detection."
The most common symptom for testicular cancer is a painless lump or swelling in the testicles but these can also be signs of something less serious.
Cancer Research UK says of all the men in the UK diagnosed with testicular cancer, more than 97 out of 100 survive for at least five years.
The charity says those who do live this long, are also unlikely to see their cancer come back.
There are other charities which focus on cancers in men including the Male Cancer Awareness Campaign (MCAC) which also uses controversial video messages to try to encourage more men to check themselves.
There's more advice and information on the BBC Radio 1 website.

Like Spirit51's stories, there will always be vicious animals in our population. Let's just hope we are prepared to deal with one if we have to.
Well......I'm glad to know a video game is worth more killing over than a pack of cigarettes now (I'm a smoker so this takes the heat off me right?) (see open carry martyrs thread for explanation). Things have changed for the better I think. What's the value of a top of the line video game now from Wal Mart anyway? $25? Pack of smokes? $7.25? Price of a gallon of gasoline now? $4.00? You just gotta have priorities (what's worth killing over). Perspective. For many life itself has little value. How do we cope with that exactly? Turn things around to where less than half of the population is behind bars? Any suggestions?
