This outlet cover is a cool automated night light.More Details >
Energy efficient LED bulbs are fitted inside this outlet cover for a futuristic look. A light sensor switches the light on at dusk and off at dawn automatically. The cover can be positioned to keep a second outlet free for use. Cool to the touch.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
I had a unique problem -- an outlet right in the middle of my dining room wall about 4 ft up. This covers the outlet and looks stylish, also does not illuminate until dark. Not sure how easy it will be to change out bulb, but it's LED so it should last a long time.
Very cool looking and very light sensitive. It brightens and dims as we dim and brighten the primary room light. Not very good as an actual night light though...it doesn't really illuminate very far. It's attractiveness and coolness kept us from returning it.
I have one in my son's room, one in my room, one in the bathroom, and one in the hallway. I like the consistency of light and how it blends into our decor.

Who wouldn't want to visit a drive-in theater nestled among the pines on a summer evening? The Star-Lite Drive-In has two screens which, for one ticket, show THREE films! The one downside is that in the summertime, the first showing starts at night, which means you'll be out into the wee hours if you can make it to the third...
This place is a class act! It feels retro right from the turn into the drive, but at the ticket booth you can use a credit card! I get a kick out of watching the retro animated advertisements for the snack bar. For retro ticket prices: at the beginning and end of the season, they have carload specials instead of...
I grew up with drive in theatres. There fewer and farther between as the years go by. Starlite Drive-In is clean, well lit twin theatre. They also have radio signal sound, so you can listen through your car stereo system.
Everytime we go we have a blast. This park is very clean. Sound from the speakers is great. Clean restrooms.
the drive-in is outstanding, very well maintain, clean restroom,good food in the snack bar at a good price.
My husband and wanted to do something different for the holiday weekend, so we decided on going to the drive in movies. It proved to be a great decision. It was a night Full of Fun. Starlight Drive-in was clean and the workers were all Friendly and made our Experience an Enjoyable one. If you have a chance to go...
I've now been to 7 different drive-in theaters. There aren't many open anymore but we make it a point to try and see as many as are still around. This is one of the better ones. The grounds are extremely well maintained. The picture is nice, the people are nice. The food is all pre-made, including the popcorn. Just kept...
We love Starlite Drive-In and have visited many times. The movies match other theaters and these are not older released movies. Many times Starlite has movies for opening weekend. They often have $12 carload specials almost always three movies but we can only last one or two.
We bring our truck and back into the parking spot and watch from...
Wow, a blast from the past that was awesome! Only $13 for a car load, sound quality if you use radio channel was great. Absolutely loved the whole experience! Two screens with 3 movies for $13? (Including one screen for kids movies) Yes please!
This is not only a great value and time for couples, families and friends. The food is great for a drive in and the prices are great. Movies are usually great picks and pairings. This is a must when they are open.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by cajuncocoa, Sep 16, 2012.
More: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8386973/nfl-pulls-replacement-ref-new-orleans-saints-game
I imagine most of the officials have favorite teams and that sometimes they officiate games with their favorites playing,,, my problem with this guy is that he isn't bright enough to know public declarations of team loyalty isn't kosher for an official.
Don't worry enough under the table money and he can become a Steelers fan.
I don't know why I'm laughing though,,, those bastids.
Which leads me to wonder if an official has ever been pulled from one of our games for being a Cowboys hater. Anyway, here's your snippet:
probably had that on his facebook long before he ended up being a replacement official
Wish they would have pulled some of the regular refs in the past that clearly had favorite teams
too bad more scrutiny isn't paid to NBA refs too....or maybe the league front office is pulling the strings anyway....
There's more!
Official who worked Seahawks-Cardinals game has ties to Seattle
The NFL didn't find out about this until this morning?

"But if something hurts so much, how can it be enjoyable? At the point where physical stress begins to take you beyond what you imagine to be endurable, you enter new territory of understanding, an expanded psychological landscape. The camaraderie of the hard road is as much in sharing that insight as in the laughs you have, riding in good company. The bike is the perfect vehicle to take you down those secret corridors of illumination. The pleasure comes when you grasp just what has happened inside your head and spirit. It doesn't stop when the bike stops, when you reach the top of the col or peel off at the end of the ride, so tired you can hardly think or stand straight. That's where the pleasure begins. The self-knowledge.
Behind glory lies the misery of training, the slog of getting through bad days, the torment of going at less than your best and the absolute conviction that giving up is never an option. Herein lies the heroism of this beautiful sport the inner revelation that makes the cyclist impervious to ordinary weakness because every ride he has ever made exposes him to that defeatist voice; he has known it, faced it and conquered the fear of it, again and again and again." -Graeme Fife

Creatures from the Blue Lagoon

Hide lines
The beach was on the east side of the island. By this time we had worked out what the Lonely Planet doesn't mention- the east side of the islands tended to be rather windy. However, a twenty minute walk across the hills over the island took us to the west side, and the beautiful Blue Lagoon. In contrast to the crashing surf on the east side, here it was calm and tranquil. We also found a dive shop with very friendly staff who offered us the use of their hot water showers. Needless to say we booked dives for the next day!
We were staying in a traditional Fijian bure, made out of grass, sticks and woven palm fronds. It was surprisingly warm and windproof- much more so than our modern wooden bure at Mantaray. It was also wonderfully spacious, and throwing the shutters open gave us a stunning sea view. My bed was fairly comfy, but I was in for a rude awakening in the morning. At about five o'clock, something landed on the pillow beside my head. I managed not to scream, and then heard paws moving. Whatever it was was outside the mosquito net and was pretty big... The licking started and I realised that I wasn't under attack by giant rats, it was one of the cats who had squeezed in a hole under the window. At this point the cockerels decided to give it their all, and I gave up on going back to sleep, and got up to enjoy a beautiful sunrise, which was almost worth having a cat land on your head for.
The following morning we had doughnuts and pawpaw for breakfast (the fruit- I didn't bake the cat), told Queen that we wouldn't need lunch, and packed everything we would need for a day relaxing round the other side of the island. Phillip from the dive shop came to give us a lift in his boat, we left our things at the dive shop and were soon geared up. Our dive site was called Bonsai. Within minutes of descending to the reef wall, a black tipped reef shark came swimming past. He vanished, and soon returned with a friend. They swam alongside us for a while, keeping a few metres away. Reef sharks are small and not dangerous, and don't usually hang around near people long. It was thrilling for them to be so close and stick around. The rest of the dive was less exciting but very beautiful. The coral colours were great, and there were lovely feather stars in colours from white, pink and peach to bright yellow and black with bright green. Two bright red tomato clowns wriggled through their anemone and we saw the distant silhouette of a turtle gliding through the blue.
Back at Westside Water Sports, we enjoyed our first hot shower since leaving Octopus. The weather was stunning and the Blue Lagoon was living up to its name. We soon plunged in with our snorkelling gear.
After lunch we rented kayaks for an hour. We paddled round the lagoon, which was still gloriously blue, and then spent an hour reading before following the shore back to our resort. Dinner was freshly caught fish, which we had to protect from the cats. I also had a hard time defending my head torch from Dan's toddler, who had developed a fascination with it.

This Saturday, May 7, hundreds of train-themed events will be engineered across the U.S. in celebration of National Train Day. The festival's lineup of railroad memorabilia exhibits and historic car displays is more than enough to lure train fanatics of all shapes and sizes, the kinds of avid hobbyists who build elaborate model train sets in their basements and own the DVD "Unstoppable."
For the rest of us, Train Day offers plenty to pique our interest too. Like cake. Last year, none other than "Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro created an enormous train-shaped confection for the event in New York. Who knew locomotives could be so moist and delicious? While there's no word on whether Buddy will appear at this year's fete, there will be food prepared by celebrity chefs. There will be concerts. (Gladys Knight is the spokesperson for National Train Day 2011.) And there will be giveaways!
Here's a sample of some upcoming National Train Day events taking place in Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Chicago:
-Amtrak Security K-9 Units will be performing exciting demonstrations featuring fearless, furry guards.
-There will be sweepstakes galore with some big-ticket prizes. Spoils include everything from free hotel stays to, of course, complimentary train tickets.
-Various celebrity chefs (such as Michel Richard of Citronelle) will prepare samples of gourmet meals served onboard Amtrak dining cars.
National Train Day events are taking place in small towns as well as big cities across the U.S. To find an event near you, use the handy National Train Day interactive map.
Throw in a major milestone — along with some celebratory money-saving deals — and you've got even more excitement. This year, Amtrak celebrates 40 years as "America's Railroad." The country's biggest passenger rail service, which created National Train Day, is honoring its birthday by bestowing double and triple points on Amtrak Guest Rewards members and letting youngsters ride for free.
Will you be taking part in National Train Day?

Hopkins makes it a record 20
Page Tools
Bernard Hopkins remained the undisputed world middleweight boxing champion here today, winning by unanimous decision over England's Howard Eastman in their 12-round title fight.
Judges scored the bout for American Hopkins by 119-110, 117-111 and 116-112.
"He takes a hell of a shot," Hopkins said. "He was able to give me some good shots but I gave them back. I give him a B-minus."
The victory marked Hopkins' 20th consecutive successful title defence.
"It is a big accomplishment. No other middleweight reached that milestone," Hopkins said. "At 40 it is even bigger to me because I worked my whole career to get there."
The fight between the two veterans was even going into the sixth round but then Hopkins started to take command.
Hopkins did a good job of breaking down Eastman's defence, waiting for his chance to land a big left hook or overhand right.
Eastman spent the 12th round looking for a knockout but by then he had simply run out of gas.
In the top undercard fight, unbeaten American Jermain Taylor stopped Daniel Edouard of Haiti in the third round of their middleweight bout.

The 2011 season will be a historic one for the Big Ten as Nebraska joins the conference, the league splits into two divisions and the first Big Ten title game is held in December.
Here's the first of what will be many preseason installments of the power rankings. Keep in mind that it's early and these will change in the coming months.
There's clear separation with the top four. The next pack includes six teams that could make a jump or backslide. Both Minnesota and Indiana have some work to do following coaching changes.
1. Ohio State: The upcoming suspensions make the Buckeyes less of a firm favorite than normal, but Ohio State still boasts the most dominant program in the Big Ten. Although the Buckeyes lose a sizable senior class, they have shown the ability to reload and should improve at several positions like running back. The first half of the season will be a grind, but until someone consistently beats the Buckeyes, they're on top.
2. Wisconsin: Arguably no Big Ten team loses more outstanding individuals than Wisconsin, but the Badgers still boast a lot of depth, especially on offense. The run game and offensive line will be fine, and it comes down to Wisconsin identifying a capable quarterback. Standout linebacker Chris Borland returns to a defense that should be solid in the back seven.
3. Nebraska: There likely will be an adjustment period for the Huskers, but the Pelini-led defense makes Nebraska an immediate Big Ten title contender. Quarterback Taylor Martinez will face better defenses in the Big Ten than he did in the Big 12, but if he recaptures his form from the first half of 2010, look out. A brutal schedule does Nebraska no favors, but the Huskers have an immediate opportunity to distinguish themselves.
4. Michigan State: It wouldn't surprise me one bit to see the Spartans rise in the power rankings throughout the offseason, but I need to see improvement in several areas after a revealing Capital One Bowl loss. Can Kirk Cousins take the next step in his development? Who replaces Greg Jones and Eric Gordon at linebacker? Will Michigan State become a force along both the offensive and defensive lines? These are some of the questions facing a potential league title contender.
5. Penn State: There's a drop-off after the top four, but keep an eye on Penn State entering the 2011 season. The ingredients are there for the program to take a step forward, particularly on defense, after a mediocre 2010 campaign. It will be very interesting to see what happens with the quarterback competition this spring as Rob Bolden seemingly has rejoined the mix.
6. Northwestern: Star quarterback Dan Persa returns from injury and should make Northwestern one of the Big Ten's top offenses entering 2011. The Wildcats should be able to rack up plenty of points and yards as they lose only one starter on the offensive side. But there are major questions on defense after the unit allowed 163 points in its final three games.
7. Iowa: This is another team that likely will rise in the power rankings before the season kicks off. There are quite a few question marks after the departure of a sizable senior class, but players like Marcus Coker and Micah Hyde began to provide answers in the Insight Bowl victory. Iowa is typically at its best under the radar, so look out for Kirk Ferentz's crew.
8. Illinois: The NFL departures undoubtedly hurt the Illini, but the program took a step forward in 2010 and returns a decent core led by quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase. Illinois has some reloading to do on defense if tackle Corey Liuget joins linebacker Martez Wilson as an early entrant to the NFL draft. But this team has shown that it can beat anyone when things are clicking.
9. Michigan: It's very hard to rank Michigan right now as the program lacks a head coach or much schematic direction. The Wolverines still will have significant issues on defense but will be older and most likely deeper at several spots, namely the secondary. If Denard Robinson can continue to flourish in a spread offense, the Wolverines will put up points.
10. Purdue: The Boilers once again enter the fall as a potential sleeper team in the Big Ten. They'll be healthier and most likely a lot better on offense as key players return at the skill positions. Purdue boasts some exciting returnees on defense but must find a way to replace All-American defensive end Ryan Kerrigan.
11. Minnesota: Jerry Kill inherits some talent on offense, namely junior MarQueis Gray, who returns to the quarterback spot after a season as a receiver. The Gophers will be a year older on defense but need to make strides in several phases to keep pace in a tough division.
12. Indiana: I really like Kevin Wilson's plan for the Hoosiers, and when he gets more of his players in the program, IU should take a step forward. There are too many holes on defense to foresee a breakthrough this fall, and replacing quarterback Ben Chappell won't be easy.

PROFILE: Sour Economy Sparks New Career Path
A long-time resident of Springfield Township, Luis Gonzalez, 52, turned the economic downturn into an opportunity to begin a new career. He recently completed his bachelor's degree in Spanish and is pursuing further studies at UC.
Date: 6/2/2003A downturn in the economy turned out to be a good excuse for 52-year-old Luis Gonzalez to finish something he had postponed for the last 27 years his baccalaureate degree at the University of Cincinnati. The long-time Springfield Township resident also is turning his new-found leisure time into a new career and a living lesson for his three children.

The former sales and marketing executive, laid off in August 2002, returned to UC in autumn 2002 to finish a bachelors degree he abandoned in 1974. Im a born again student, he jokes, although the undertaking required a very serious amount of credit-hours undertaken in a very short time.
He finished the degree by taking 58 credit hours over fall and winter quarters, making him an official member of the Class of 2003 as well as an awe-inspiring role model for his kids. His middle child, Missy, 20, is also a UC undergraduate and his youngest child, Jessica, 18, will enroll at UC this fall. The eldest, Marcos, 25, graduates from Miami University in Oxford this year.
I think returning to school has been a great experience for me and a good example for them. My kids realize it was an extremely heavy schedule, says Gonzalez, who majored in Spanish in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures. A native of Chile, he originally came to Cincinnati as an exchange student at Garfield High School in Hamilton and returned to Cincinnati as an undergraduate at UC.
He decided to stay in Cincinnati but he realized his Spanish-language skills made him very employable, and he left school to begin a career. He first took a job with Andrew Jergens in Cincinnati, then Dayco Corp. in Dayton and most recently Henny-Penny Corp. in Eaton, Ohio, commuting from Cincinnati.
He always thought he would eventually finish his degree, but his successful career in international sales made that difficult. He estimates that he spent a total of 10 years abroad over the past 27 years, going back and forth from his home here to overseas clients and locations. In international business, one has to travel to other countries and you have to have face to face contact to do it well, says Gonzalez, who became a U.S. citizen in 1975. That kind of schedule made finishing my degree impossible, he says.
When he was downsized on Aug. 5, 2002, in the post-Sept. 11 economic gloom, he had an opportunity to rethink my objectives for the rest of my life. He gave himself until Aug. 20 to make a decision. Thanks to a severance package from Henny-Penny, a food service equipment manufacturing company, he decided to devote two quarters to his academic studies full time, or should we say more than full time? He decided to finish up a degree in Spanish in the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences at UC.
Although he hopes to begin working part- or full-time again soon, Gonzalez is not giving up on higher education now that he has a BA. He plans to earn a master's and a PhD to begin a new career as a college professor.
Luis remains good friends with his ex-wife and childrens mother, Christine. Her support is reflected in the fine young adults our children have become. She was mom-and-dad for those 10 years I was absent.
He would be attending UCs All-University Commencement on June 13, except that he is instead living up to a long-time promise to his youngest daughter, who graduates from Roger Bacon High School on June 6. To celebrate her achievement, he and his daughter are taking a special trip to Fort Myers, Fla.

I am writing with reference to the Op-Ed: "Conspiracy theory: Fig leaf of an excuse," by Brig Gen Shahedul Anam Khan (Nov. 29).
Brig Gen Shahedul Anam has raised important issues. After the catastrophic fire at the Ashulia garment factory, which cost more than 100 lives (mostly women), all types of accusations have been flying around. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is blaming extremists for deliberately setting fire to the factory. This is a serious charge which must be investigated by an independent international body like International Labour Organisation (ILO).
Most factory owners in Bangladesh are notorious for their neglect of workers' safety. Violators are hardly punished. Poor workers are always victims of neglect by owners and managers. Enforcement of safety standards is almost non-existent. In advanced countries like Canada, enforcement of workers' safety is widely followed and most victims of industrial accidents are compensated. Although a Third World country like Bangladesh is not well-equipped to ensure workers' safety, wholesale neglect of workers' safety is not acceptable.
If the accusation of the prime minister that the fire was set deliberately by extremists is true, it calls for measures that go beyond workers' safety. All political parties should join hands to ensure safety of garment workers who are mostly women and have little social and political clout.

Equipment Care - Dirty Golfers Are Not Welcomed!
The Fade & Draw Shot
May 28th, 2017
More experienced golf players have the ability to use the ball's sidespin as part of their strategy.
For example, if a particular shot on the course calls for the ball to veer to the right, he or she can purposely make the ball spin a bit clockwise (right-handed golfers), generating enough spin so that it indeed turns to the right.
In golf, this type of slicing movement is called the fade. Should the player need to generate spin on the ball counterclockwise, so that they can turn it slightly to the left, this is a hook-type shot known as a draw.
Beginner Golfers Should Not Be Concerned About Such Advanced Methods
One of the worst mistakes you can make as someone just starting out in golf is to try to copy the professional's tactics too early in your golf career, such as the above mentioned draw and fade shots.
Your job is to simply hit the ball a straight as you can. This means trying to have the least amount of sidespin possible.

What are the ingredients in Kineret?
Active ingredients: anakinra
Inactive ingredients: disodium EDTA, sodium chloride, anhydrous citric acid, and polysorbate 80 in Water for Injection, USP
Instructions for Use
(anakinra) for injection, for subcutaneous use
Read this Instructions for Use before you start using Kineret and each time you get a refill. There may be new information. This information does not take the place of talking to your healthcare provider about your medical condition or your treatment.
Supplies you will need to give your Kineret injection: See Figure A.
- 1 Kineret prefilled syringe
- 1 alcohol wipe
- 1 dry sterile gauze or tissue
- 1 puncture-resistant sharps disposal container
Figure A
Each Kineret dose comes in a prefilled glass syringe. There are 7 syringes in each new Kineret box, 1 for each day of the week. Use a new Kineret syringe each day. Use the Kineret prefilled syringe that matches the day of the week until all 7 syringes are used.
Setting up for your injection:
Step 1. Take the carton containing the prefilled syringes of Kineret out of the refrigerator. Remove the prefilled syringe from the box that matches the day of the week. Put the carton containing the remaining prefilled syringes back in the refrigerator.
Step 2. Find a clean, flat work surface, such as a table.
Step 3. Check the expiration date on the syringe label. See Figure B. If the expiration date has passed, do not use the syringe. Call your pharmacist or call 1-866-773-5274 for assistance.
Figure B
Step 4. Take the Kineret prefilled syringe out of the refrigerator and leave it in room temperature for 30 minutes before your injection. Make sure the liquid medicine in the prefilled syringe is clear and colorless. It is normal to see a small amount of tiny particles that are white, or that you can see through. Do not inject the medicine if it is cloudy or discolored, or has large or colored particles. Call your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you have any questions about your Kineret prefilled syringe.
Step 5. Gather all the supplies you will need for your injection.
Step 6. Wash your hands with soap and warm water.
Preparing your correct dose of Kineret:
- Preparing a 100 mg dose of Kineret:
- Hold the syringe barrel and pull the cover straight off the needle. See Figure C. Do not touch the needle or push the plunger. Throw away the needle cover.
Figure C
- You may notice a small air bubble in the prefilled syringe. You do not have to remove the air bubble before injecting. Injecting the solution with the air bubble is harmless.
- Carefully place the barrel of the syringe on the table until you are ready to inject. Do not let the needle touch the table. Do not recap the needle.
How to prepare a dose of Kineret less than 100 mg:
- Hold the syringe in 1 hand with the needle pointing straight upwards. See Figure D. Put your thumb on the plunger rod and push slowly until you see a tiny liquid drop at the tip of the needle.
Figure D
- Turn the syringe so that the needle is now pointing downwards. Place a sterile gauze or tissue on a flat surface and hold the syringe above it with the needle pointing towards the gauze or tissue. See Figure E. Make sure the needle does not touch the gauze or tissue.
Figure E
- Put your thumb on the plunger rod and push slowly until you can see that the top of the plunger has reached the correct number for your Kineret dose your healthcare provider has prescribed. The liquid that was pushed out of the needle will be absorbed by the gauze or tissue. See Figure E.
- If you are not able to select the correct dose of Kineret, throw away the syringe and use a new one.
- Carefully place the barrel of the syringe on the table until you are ready to inject. Do not let the needle touch the table. Do not recap the needle.
Selecting and preparing the injection site:
Step 7. Choose an injection site. See Figure F.
Recommended injection sites for adults and children include:
- outer area of the upper arms
- abdomen (except the 2-inch area around the belly button)
- front of the middle thighs
- upper outer areas of the buttocks
Figure F
Choose a new site each time you use Kineret. Choosing a new site may help avoid soreness at 1 site. Do not inject Kineret into an area of skin that is tender, red, bruised, swollen, or hard. Avoid areas of skin with scars or stretch marks. Do not inject Kineret close to a vein that you can see under the surface of your skin.
- Clean your injection site with an alcohol swab. Let the area dry completely.
Giving your injection:
Step 8. Gently pinch a fold of skin at the cleaned injection site.
Step 9. With your other hand, hold the syringe like a pencil at a 45 degree to 90 degree angle to the skin. With a quick, dart-like motion insert the needle into the skin. See Figure G.
Figure G
Step 10. After the needle is inserted into the skin slowly push the plunger all the way down to inject Kineret. See Figure H.
Figure H
Step 11. When the syringe is empty, pull the needle out of the skin while carefully keeping the needle at the same angle as inserted. See Figure I
Figure I
Step 12. Place a dry cotton ball or gauze pad over the injection site and press for several seconds. See Figure J. Do not use an alcohol swab as it may cause stinging. If there is a little bleeding, you may cover the injection site with a small bandage.
Figure J
Important Information about your Kineret prefilled syringe:
- Use each Kineret prefilled syringe only 1 time. Do not use a syringe more than 1 time. Do not recap a needle.
- You may not have to use all of the liquid medicine in the prefilled syringe. Your healthcare provider will show you how to find the correct dose of Kineret for you or your child.
- If you notice that some medicine is left in the prefilled syringe, do not inject again with the same prefilled syringe.
- If you drop a prefilled syringe, do not use it. The glass syringe may be broken, or the needle may be bent or dirty. Throw away the prefilled syringe and replace it with a new one. Take a new prefilled syringe from what would be the last day of the week in your current box. For example, if you start on Wednesday, the last day of the week in your series is Tuesday. After using all the remaining prefilled syringes in your current box, start your next box of Kineret prefilled syringes.
Disposal of your Kineret syringes:
- Put your used syringes in a FDA-cleared sharps disposal container right away after use. Do not throw away (dispose of) loose syringes in your household trash.
- If you do not have a
FDA-cleared sharps disposal container, you may use a household container that
- made of a heavy-duty plastic
- can be closed with a tight-fitting, puncture-resistant lid, without sharps being able to come out
- upright and stable during use
- leak-resistant
- properly labeled to warn of hazardous waste inside the container
- When your sharps disposal container is almost full, you will need to follow your community guidelines for the right way to dispose of your sharps disposal container. There may be state or local laws about how you should throw away used needles and syringes. For more information about safe sharps disposal, and for specific information about sharps disposal in the state that you live in, go to the FDA's website at: http://www.fda.gov/safesharpsdisposal.
- Do not dispose of your used sharps disposal container in your household trash unless your community guidelines permit this. Do not recycle your used sharps disposal container.
- Throw away the wet gauze or tissue with your syringe and clean the table surface with a fresh swab.

I've been described as honest, kind, caring, understanding, supportive, emotionally available, affectionate, and having a good sense of humor. I have many interests, including going to concerts, fun dinners at home or at interesting restaurants, and lots more. I also enjoy great conversations, open and honest communication, spending time with good friends, and just hanging out & relaxing at home too (maybe Scrabble?). And I add to that a bit of volunteering for a couple of nonprofit organizations that are doing great work. Past crafty hobbies included doing pottery and a bit of woodworking.
I enjoy simple pleasures & strive for balance, and I think it's important to appreciate each day and all that it brings. I try to focus on the big picture and not get too bogged down in the troubling curve balls that life sometimes throws at us. I've been thrown one of them- a health challenge that limits my mobility, and so I use a battery scooter to get around. I keep a positive attitude- can still do many things pretty well, but just find different ways to do some things. Of course there's a lot more to me and even though this is a bit of a risky thing to share early in a potential dating context, I want to be honest from the start. I'll tell you more & answer questions if/when we're in touch.
My hopes are to meet someone who's confident, creative, intelligent, positive, understanding, and compassionate. I'm hoping she'll share some of my interests but also have different ones too. A great sense of humor and a healthy lifestyle are also high on the list, as are honesty & open communication- all so important as we get to know each other and explore a possible connection further.
In the past I've worked for several nonprofit groups that were doing important work, and now I'm doing some work for a family business.

North Little Rock Police Working to Identify Shooting Victim
NORTH LITTLE ROCK, AR -- A man is dead after a shooting.
Officers were called to Campbell Rd. and Whippoorwill Lane around 1 a.m. Sunday to a report of shots fired. That's were they found a man lying in the roadway, suffering from at least one gunshot wound.
The man was taken to the hospital, where he later died from his injuries. Neighbors say their North Little Rock neighborhood is for the most part safe and they thought they had forced all the crime out.
"Last time a murder went on in this area it was around like last year. We pretty much narrowed it down to who that guy was and got that guy out of here. But since then we haven't heard anything until now. It's really a sad thing to hear," says resident Jamark Mckinney.
Detectives are now trying to find out the identity of the victim and police are asking for the public's assistance. The victim is said to be a white man in his early 30's with numerous tattoos. He is 5'8" tall and appeared to be blind in his left eye.
Call the North Little Rock Police Department Detective Division at (501) 680-8439 if you have information on the victim's identity or any information about the killing.

Well first of all I mine as well introduce myself. My names Regan, if you read my profile you may find a little more about me out but I didn't really fill it in. Anyways I was just browsing the internet and happened to find this site. Thought I'd register and ask a few questions. Well here we go.
I've got about $15,000 in Canadian Dollars and was wondering what I could get from Subaru used with that kind of budget. I was looking into a few used Subaru WRX STi's and just the normal WRX version so far. I seen a few nice ones on eBay and some others on Autotrader. Anyways I was wondering what I should be looking for with that kind of price range and how I can tell if it's a bargain or not? Any suggestions?
My last question that I have right now is, if I purchased a car off of eBay since I live in Canada how would I get it? Would I have to drive up there? Also would I have to pay the full amount right at that moment or could I make payments like I would if I bought from a dealer? I know this varies on the seller, just wondering.
Oh I forgot to mention for $15,000 CAD would I be able to purchase a used Subaru STi or WRX with modifications already on it or not?
I'll appreciate all the help from you guys and or girls. Thanks.

Engineers, Not M.B.A.s, Should Run Businesses
Here is a message that is likely to fall among welcoming arms with the more technologically sophisticated. We need to fire the M.B.A.s and let engineers run the show.
The comments are from Bob Lutz, the former Vice Chairman of General Motors, described in this Time article as "the most famous also-ran in the auto business".
While being a mathematical or business whizz kid will get you so far, when it comes down to it, you've got to invent or improve real products and services to grow. His argument is that products should be developed by product people.
It's interesting to note that the one area of the U.S. economy that's adding jobs and increasing productivity and wealth is also the one that is the most relentlessly product- and consumer-focused: Silicon Valley. The company off Highway 101 that best illustrates this point is, of course, Apple. The only time Apple ever lost the plot was when it put the M.B.A.s in charge. As long as college dropout Steve Jobs is in the driver's seat, customers (and shareholders) are happy. The reason is clearly the one Lutz puts forward in his book: "Shoemakers should be run by shoe guys, and software firms by software guys."

David Heller took the words out of my mouth when he wrote the article "Why I'm not calling myself an Information Architect anymore" and I fully agree with his statments, but from a different perspective. I believe any "good" Web Designer has been doing IA since they began doing Web Design, thus I still consider myself a Web Designer (or shall I dare say Interaction Designer if you are talking about my hand I had in the many multimedia project a few years back). Any accreditable Web Designer should already be practicing the arts of interaction design, experience design, usability and some library science.

So I think I opened Pandora's box when I mentioned this. And somehow... It's done. Really, I never expected to put together such a fashion-no-go-thar but I DID.
Apparently I'm wearing this for the Sunday of Expo - Along with DJ.OZURA and a fanboy Shinpachi XD What a crack crew, eh?
YAY! I didn't even have to recruit an Itou. 8D If you don't have an Okita, I'll be happy to oblige since I'll be cosplaying as him anyway. XD
Ahaha, I got pestered by other parties to do it... But it still might not be happening! It relies on a fanboy Shinpachi AND your ability to find Itou.
Seriously, you reaaalllly need to see if you can get one XD A photoshoot would be so win!
And zomg, do you have the iKatana?
... omg, I can so make one. 1 plastic katana + old iPod earphones = WIN :D I would possibly do 3-Z! Okita with his Superman t-shirt, but time has really run out ^^;; so iKatana and cardboard bazooka will have to do!
Still can't get over the fact that I'm gonna have to wear glassless glasses over a pair of contacts and bandage myself to death just so I can have the pleasure of seeing you walk around dressed like someTHING that has escaped from the 80s. *feels like a pushover*
yay XD I was wanting to do this at sometime because it's so simple XD. I'd love to see you guys, but unfortnatly I can't make it to expo. Have fun anyway

Blood flows to and from the heart through a series of actions. Here is a simple way of looking at what happens:
- When blood returns to the heart from throughout the body, it flows into the right atrium. That blood is now low on oxygen because it has been supplying oxygen throughout your body.
- The right atrium of your heart fills with this blood, which then flows into your heart's right ventricle. Next, the blood goes from your right ventricle to the lungs for an oxygen refill.
- To maximize the amount of blood in the right ventricle, the right atrium contracts - pushing the blood down into the ventricle.
- When the right ventricle is full, it contracts and blood is forced into the lungs.
- Once the blood has picked up oxygen, it moves from the lungs to the left atrium and then down into the left ventricle. The atrium then contracts and then the ventricle contracts, like it did on the right side.
- The right and left atriums contract at the same time. The right atrium pushes the oxygen-low blood into the right ventricle. The left atrium pushes the oxygenated blood from the previous cycle into the left ventricle.
- The left ventricle contracts, sending the blood throughout the body.
- Eventually, the process begins all over again.

The Luo-London Soundclash
Owiny Sigoma was the grandfather of Joseph Nyamungu. Owiny Sigoma is also the name of the music school in Nairobi where Joseph for years has been teaching his apprentices how to play the nyatiti, the eight-stringed lyre central to the music of the Luo tribe. One day in January 2009, five tall London-based musicians arrived in Nairobi and through the Art of Protest organisation they got in contact with Joseph and his musical companion Charles Okowo.
The musicians jammed, exchanged ideas and songs and recorded a few tracks. The Owiny Sigoma Band was born. A year later Jesse Hackett (keys), Louis Hackett (bass), Sam Lewis (guitar), Chris Morphitis (bouzouki/guitar) and Tom Skinner (drums) returned to Nairobi and recorded some more tacks with Joseph and Charles. And then last week they returned once again – this time to play the magnificent Rift Valley Festival on the shore of Lake Naivasha.
In the meantime, the musical meeting had resulted in the release of Owiny Sigoma Band's self-titled debut album released last year on Gilles Peterson's Brownswood label. Moreover, and more importantly, Owiny Sigoma Band succeeded in drawing international attention to traditional Luo music and to the often underappreciated Kenyan folkloric music in general.
We met Joseph and the rest Owiny Sigoma Band for a chat after their concert at Roskilde Festival this summer. A concert, where the bands' varied set of Luo folk songs and London-influenced tunes sung in both Luo and English had sparked an early Saturday afternoon groove party in the festival's Cosmopol tent.
''We did not really know anything about Kenyan music before going to Nairobi,'' Owiny Sigoma drummer Tom Skinner admitted. However, Joseph explained that foreign musicians coming to him to explore the nyatiti sound and the Luo music is not unusual. ''Many people come to Nairobi to learn how to play the nyatiti. We teach them at the music school but also take them to the countryside for them to really experience the Luo musical tradition," he elaborated.
However, both Joseph and Charles were quick to underline that Owiny Sigoma is not a one-way relationship. ''We also learn a lot from playing with them, from studying their songs and techniques and from the exchange of ideas," Joseph told us. And he added that the local audience in Kenya also appreciates them playing with foreign musicians.
Both on record and on and off stage, Owiny Sigoma Band stands out as a venture based on more than vivid melodies and eminent musicians, that is on true improvisation and mutual curiosity. Like al cross-cultural musical fusions should be but rarely are. So let this be an encouragement to not only explore Owiny Sigoma Band but also to pass by Owiny Sigoma music school next time you are in Nairobi, say hi to Joseph and maybe even get your hands on your own gorgeous nyatiti.

Cabinet leak costs $700,000
Page Tools
A water leak in the ceiling of the cabinet room in Parliament House caused more than $700,000 damage.
A faulty plastic component in the ceiling of the cabinet room ruptured on April 18, releasing enough water to fill a swimming pool.
Department of Parliamentary Services assistant secretary Andrew Smith told a Senate estimates committee today the refurbishment of the room was estimated to cost at least $716,000.
Almost $230,000 would be spent on replacing furniture and conserving the damaged cabinet table and chairs, both of which have detailed leatherwork, and around $168,000 was budgeted to replace 1,500 square metres of carpet.
Mr Smith said the final bill had yet to be determined.
He said the flood damage, which left water 250mm deep in the room, had been exacerbated by the fact the cabinet room's doors and walls were double-sealed.
It also spread to the hallway and other rooms after the doors were opened.
"There was seepage of water before the doors were open but when they were opened there was a major wave front ... but no one got washed away," Mr Smith said.
Mr Smith said the room was expected to be operational by June 7, when a cabinet meeting was scheduled.
He said the faulty component had been replaced with a metal part.
