Here are some fun facts about one of our amazing Laser Pegs employees!
We have an amazing team of people here at Laser Pegs who are constantly working hard to create the best possible products for your family to enjoy. We are also lucky enough to bring people onto our team all the time who are truly passionate and enthusiastic about our one-of-a-kind products.
One such employee is our head designer, Ken! Ken is the main designer here at Laser Pegs and is responsible for some of our most favored creations, such as the NFL kit, the mythology kit and many other. He is also creating a super secret Laser Pegs creation that is one of the most unique and creative featured pieces that we have ever done. It's also one of the largest!
Ken will be displaying this super secret display at Fall Toy Preview on October 1st. The event runs until October 3rd and Ken, along with many other of our Laser Pegs employees, will be in attendance to represent our company. Therefore, if you are going to be attending this much loved toy event, keep an eye out for Ken and his specialty Laser Pegs creation in the lobby of the event!
To help you learn a little more about the amazing people we have working at Laser Pegs, here is a Laser Pegs Employee Profile on our head designer, Ken:
1. What was it that attracted to you to Laser Pegs and made you want to join their team? How long have you been a Laser Peg teammate?
I've been with Laser Pegs for a year and 8 months. I've always loved building things, and I was a big fan of LEGO as a kid. Also, I've been good friends with Rob (head of the design department) since 1992! To read more about Rob's role at Laser Pegs, read his employee profile!
2. What is your main role as a designer?
I build new models and create instructions for them. I also come up with new themes and ideas for our products, new ways to use Laser Pegs, and I coordinate with our factory in China for product testing.
3. What is your favorite toy or kit made by Laser Pegs? Why?
My favorite kit is The Mythology Kit (which I designed) because it is a combination of both history and education!
4. What was your favorite toy to play with as a child? Why?
I really liked Transformers because you could create two or three things out of one toy. For instance, you could build both a vehicle and a robot, so it was the best of both worlds.
5. If you could make any animal or figure into a Laser Pegs model, what would you most like to create? Why?
I think I would like to create a Rhino because they are a perfect mix of size and speed. They are kind of graceful , and not "like a bull in a china shop."
6. What is a fun fact about yourself that you think Laser Pegs fans would be interested to know?
I like to customize cars and I am also very into racing. I participate in different events like "time attacks," "auto cross" and "drifting." I am also on the Autism spectrum and have Asperger's Syndrome. (Side note: Laser Pegs are a great toy for children who fall on the Autism spectrum and provide many benefits for them!)
We are so lucky to have someone on our team like Ken who is such an amazing designer. Do you have any more questions for Rob about being a Head Designer? Be sure to leave them in the comments below! Also stay tuned for more Laser Pegs Employee Profiles that feature more of our amazing team members!

When a judge orders an accounting, can the trustee just right down some figures and give the judge the accounting? When a trustee is ordered by the judge to give an order for accounting does the trustee have to have support document with the acco...
Mr. Geffen offers you some very good insight. While a Court with the appropriate jurisdiction can certainly compel a Trustee to account, the burden of complaining about the contents of that accounting will always rest with an interested party that believes the accounting is inaccurate or lacking in some regard.
Bottom line: it isn't the Court's job to determine if the numbers are off, or if all of the supporting documentation has been adequately disclosed to the interested parties. Those parties are the ones that must request additional relief, whether in the form of a supplemental accounting request or a lawsuit for some specific breach of fiduciary duty by the Trustee.
Probate and trust litigation is often complicated. The best suggestion that I can add is to retain the services of an attorney well-versed in fiduciary liability and the rights of interested parties to the trust. You want an attorney on your side, and you do not want to simply rely on the Court to advocate your interests.
I see that you're posting from the Dallas area. My firm's expertise lies in fiduciary litigation, and specifically with issues just like the one that you've described. If you'd like to visit more about your concerns, please feel free to contact me through the website below or through my profile on this site.See question
My dad had an asset he wanted to have one of his grandsons to have. He did not write it down in his will. I am executor of his trust which is soon to be finalized. Now having a problem with other beneficiaries stating that it isn't fair and tha...
Stop what you're doing and take these concerns to an attorney. If you haven't yet seen the recurring theme among the answers here, it's a pretty simple one. Executors, administrators, personal representatives and trustees all owe fiduciary duties to other people. These are legally binding obligations that dictate how you perform and what acts you can engage in.
My California colleagues have all given you some very sound insight. Speaking purely from Texas, and since you asked about the consequences of "writing in your own" terms of the Will, I can name a few fairly universal reasons why your idea sounds particularly unpleasant. You could be removed from your fiduciary position, and maybe even replaced by one of those unhappy beneficiaries. You could face personal liability for your willful damage to the estate. The entire estate could be paid to attorneys simply to fight about all of this.
Do yourself a favor and get the Will in front of an attorney that can specifically advise you of your obligations and boundaries. Relying on your own moral compass is not an option that guides you down the appropriate road.See question
My wife who is a Jehovah witness appointed a "Elder"from her church to be her medical power of attorney. I am not a JW this is the reason they brought this up. My question is if something was to happen to my wife would i have my hands tied? if so ...
The agent under the Power of Attorney would be authorized to make decisions concerning your wife's care and treatment. Their authority as agent would trump yours as husband. Unfortunately, as you put it, your hands would be tied.
Bear in mind that the Power of Attorney likely springs to life upon your wife's inability to make these kinds of decisions for herself. Appointing an agent is a deeply personal act, and religious concerns can certainly play a role in the decision. I feel pretty certain that you have had a very open, honest and frank conversation with your wife regarding this. If not, it's a conversation worth having while your wife has the ability to express her desires and concerns.See question
Atty charged for "charges for course related to probate estate to learn the law". The charges so he can talk to the head of the firm who we hired inthe first place so double billed.
That's certainly an interesting invoice entry. I'm assuming that your contract with the firm probably identifies the types of charges that you might expect in the course of their representation of you. "Learning the law" probably didn't make the list, although collaboration among attorneys in a firm is pretty common (and helpful,) and you're right to be mindful of the double-billing potential.
If you have a question or a complaint about the bill from your lawyer, go tell your lawyer. This forum is intended to provide quick information and thought, most of which boils down to "go get a lawyer." It is not, and should not become, a forum for clients rightfully ticked off to vent their frustration. You need to have this discussion with your attorney.See question
The Stp-Sister GOT Guard., 3 years ago instead of my mother who is 79 and in the health range of a 50 year old. When my papa died my step sisters guard should have ended "Though she had my SF body" without my mothers knowing sent to Florida for...
I've read through your comment a number of times and still can't quite determine what question you might be trying to ask. In sum, you've got a terrible situation.
Here's what I think we can agree on. Issues like elder abuse, financial exploitation and even abuse of the guardianship statutes (which vary considerably among our states) are increasing across the board. The bottom line in your facts, from what I can make out, is that you find fault not only with your sister's actions as guardian, but with the Court that gave her this authority to begin with. I'd agree with you that our lawmakers might learn a thing or two by exposing themselves to more situations like this, but that's hardly likely to happen through this website.
If you want to come even close to a satisfactory resolution, you're going to need a lawyer very experienced in guardianship law and quite possibly in guardianship appeals as well. The level of distrust you have for your sister and the Court clearly makes you a motivated client, but that motivation does not translate to the knowledge and experience that you need on your side to alter these facts in the slightest. I realize you didn't come to this forum simply to be told "go get a lawyer," but your solution is staring you in the face. Best of luck.See question
Other siblings were not aware she would stop all communication when we allowed her guardianship. Mother not allowed a phone to call.and all mail is kept by sister. This began when my sister got mad at us for different things. She now controls us ...
The short answer to "Can she do this" is Yes, she can. Whether or not she should is, as the previous response points out, a question for the Court. As your mother's guardian, your sister is vested with the authority to make this decision. Her authority is not, however, invulnerable. Your sister's decisions must be centered on your mother's best interests.
Unfortunately, probate and guardianship attorneys see issues like yours all too frequently. Mom becomes a chess piece, and she is moved back and forth across the board in a dispute that has very little to do with her -- and much more to do with the relationships between her children.
Without knowing the details of your family dynamic, I can certainly tell you that any Judge in Texas would be very skeptical of a guardian's decision like your sister's. There would need to be some pretty overwhelming evidence of harassment or abuse to warrant shutting family members out, and I would guess that if your mom could express her desires, she would indicate a willingness to visit with all of her children.
It's time to get an attorney on your side of the ball. Document the occasions on which your sister has limited or prohibited access to your mother. Get it in writing. Hire your attorney, and take the issue to the supervising court.See question
My father passed away 18 months ago. My sister is co-executor of his will. The attorney my father utilized for the past 30+ years is the same attorney that my sister and her family has used for the past 20+ years. Since there is conflict with t...
Your title and your question don't exactly match up. Is it a conflict for your sister to use the same attorney as your father did when he was alive? Not by itself, no. But whether or not the attorney has some conflict hardly addresses your actual concerns. "Conflict of interest" are not magic words that make your sister live up to her legal obligations.
You've asked another party's attorney for something and he has refused. What exactly did you expect? He works for your sister. Not for you.
It's time to stop asking for free insight, and hire an attorney that represents your interests. All of the well-thought responses you gain here are meaningless without your own representation.See question
There are 4 children to receive the division of my father's estate. He passed 18 months ago. My sister and eldest brother are co-execs of his estate. My sister has failed to provide info, documents, records, financial records regarding the estat...
Eighteen months with no resolution is far too long. I'm assuming, since you mention your sister's attorney, that the probate process has actually been initiated, and both your sister and brother properly appointed by the Court. If that hasn't happened yet, it needs to be your first priority.
Next, there are several opportunities for you to obtain some information concerning the estate and your sister's actions or inaction relative to it. Within 90 days of being appointed, your sister was required to file an Inventory that the Court must approve. If this has happened, the Inventory, and the Order approving it, are matters of public record. You can obtain one from the county clerk. If no Inventory has been filed, you have cause to seek removal of not just your sister, but your brother as well.
You also have a right to an accounting each year that the estate is open, beginning the 15th month after the date that your siblings were appointed. If no accounting is produced, the Court can compel its preparation and production.
Your best option at this point is to retain an experienced probate attorney that also has some experience in fiduciary litigation and removing executors. Dividing real estate is hardly ever fun. Your siblings have legal obligations to act in the interests of the estate as a whole -- not just toward their own selfish means. How a property division could be proposed that effectively defeats the equal division of the estate is accomplished is beyond me. If the land is not able to be fairly partitioned, or sold and divided by agreement of the beneficiaries, the Court can take of that for you too.
Self-help is not your ally here. Your sister has an attorney and you should too. Lend your efforts and energy in that direction, and you'll likely see a resolution come much faster.See question
My sister-in-law is the named Executrix. She has not done anything about it at all. I understand we are suppose to receive a list (some type of inventory)..not sure what it is called..but within 90 days. It is passed the 90 days now and we are not...
Ms. Sinclair makes an excellent point. Being nominated to serve as the Executrix is not the same as being appointed to serve as the Executrix. Knowing the status of the proceedings will go far to determine what your rights to information look like at this point.
The Clerk of the probate court in the county of your grandfather's residence can at least give you some idea of where the proceedings are, if they've even been initiated.
If your sister-in-law hired her attorney and filed the Will as early as the day after your grandfather died, several things could have happened by this point. A brief hearing would likely have been held as early as the end of October. This would be the hearing to admit the Will to probate and appoint your sister-in-law to her nominated position. After that, she would have 30 days to notify creditors generally, by publishing a legal notice. Your sister-in-law would also have 60 days to notify each beneficiary specifically. You would be entitled to a copy of the Will and the Order admitting it to probate.
The 90-day time that you cite is in fact the due date for the Inventory, if it is not extended by the Court. That 90-day window begins running from the date the Will is admitted to probate and the personal representative appointed. Even if your sister-in-law filed the Will almost immediately, this 90 days would only have recently expired. If she's actually overdue on the Inventory (which is filed with the Clerk, and not necessarily delivered to each beneficiary,) the Court will begin by sending her a reminder letter and may ultimately revoke her Letters Testamentary if she avoids this obligation.
In all likelihood, your sister-in-law was nominated to serve as the Independent Executrix. The word "independent" has significant meaning, and bears some important consequences for you as a beneficiary. Ordinarily, in an independent administration, your right to an accounting of the executor's actions does not mature and become enforceable until 15 months after the date that the Will was admitted to probate. Two years after the Will is admitted to probate, you could file a request for the executor to partition and distribute the estate. The result is some rather great leniency and freedom granted to independent executors.
In the meantime, while you may not be able to compel an accounting or force distribution, you can certainly remain vigilant about your sister-in-law's execution of her obligations. Her attorney does not work for you, and I think that you've gathered that. If you are less than satisfied with the information that you are receiving, if any, I would encourage you to retain your own probate attorney. Even if their only job is to keep an eye on your sister, your attorney could certainly help you keep her on the right track.
Cooperation and communication are key here, particularly when it comes to dealing with items of personal property that might not be of significant monetary value. An attorney on your side can help you present your concerns in a practical and hopefully non-confrontational manner.See question
She is estrainged from her entire family because she does not tell the truth. What can the family do to get her moved to a place where her medications will be monitored and she will be safe. No family member wants to be her guardian and she has ...
The probate court staff might direct you to an agency that can provide assistance, or you might visit with a guardianship attorney about what is commonly called an "information letter." As other posters have pointed out, some guardianships are actually initiated by the Court. Those that are started this way typically begin when the Court receives information -- usually by letter -- that a resident is likely incapacitated and in need of assistance.
Aside from the Court staff itself, you might also try to visit with the court investigator's office. Many larger counties have separate staffs that diligently investigate guardianship matters. With the family unwilling to take on the burden of caring for your client, turning to the Court may be your best bet.See question

SPRING HILL — Dozens of mourners filled a Spring Hill funeral home Monday morning to remember 21-year-old Army Spc. Justin Dean Coleman, who was killed July 24 during a firefight in a remote area near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. After a brief service, a long procession of mourners led by 113 motorcyclists passed through Hernando County en route to Florida National Cemetery near Bushnell. Crowds of people stood waving American flags on the motorcade's route along U.S. 19 and State Road 50 through the heart of Hernando County. Military officials presented Coleman's family with American flags during the ceremony at the cemetery. Coleman's widow, Nicole, wore his dog tags around her wrist. Coleman's body was laid to rest just five paces from Army Pfc. Cody Clark Grater of Spring Hill, who died in Iraq almost exactly a year earlier.

Tanner Mayes Jumped
Posted by: sup69
Tanner in more drama! This time it has nothing to do with walking off set or finding her cell phone. From what we can gather from her recent tweets, it has to do with a dude? Who? Sources have said but not confirmed that it could be with Eden Adams ex boyfriend.
According to Tanner's tweets, Eden Adams and Katie Cummings came into Tanner's apartment and jumped her. Tanner claims that she beat up Eden and Ang (Tanner's Assistant) choked Katie. The only injury that Tanner suffered was a scratch on her stomach from her heel. Mark Lasts (mylifeinla.com and talent agent for Katie Cummings) was also there but declined to comment on the situation.
Eden Adams also confirmed the gangsta attack on Tanner Mayes by tweeting about walking into her apartment with Katie Cummings and her homegirl Carissa "straight opened @tanneramayesing door and beat the fuck outta her cracked out ass."
Breaking and entering and assault and battery? What's next? Shoot outs in the 818?
A call was made to Tanner Mayes assistant, Angelo, but he has declined to comment on the situation thus far.

hello all,
I have a buddy who is looking to buy his first handgun and has been looking at the FN Herstal FiveseveN but I'm not really sold on that Idea, I'm fairly convinced that it's just a proprietary round that will never go anywhere (kindof like the HK 4.6mm).
what do you guys think? is it a good choice or might he be better off going with an FNP or other notables like glock or springfield?
I think it is just kind of a gimmicky round. For the money, there are much better, more proven handguns.
I talked to a guy who had one and sold it. He said it was a hand cannon and not much fun to shoot and too large and heavy to carry. If I had the money to spend on something that would most likely be a safe queen, the 5.7 would rate pretty high, but so would the FNH Tactical.
ok now I am not trying to say that was false info but the 5.7 has less recoil than a 9mm and weighs almost a full pound less(fully loaded) than an XDM9(fully loaded) so in what way was it a hand cannon?
So many other proven choices in more popular calibers to choose from...I'm just sayin'...

On this site the term "shot placement" rains supreme. The FN 5 seven has little recoil and is very controllable for excellent shot placement. It also holds a lot of rounds of ammo. All good traits. Negatives are...the price is high and availability of ammo may be scarce. Bottom line...Go for it...I'd love to have one too.
"Confidence is food for the wise man but liquor for the fool"
What is your buddy's stated need for a handgun - protection/defense, or just to 'have'?
The 5.7 has a meager track record as a defensive round because it's new, AND the ammo is relatively scarce and expensive. To date there are zero American law enforcement agencies that have adopted the 5.7 as their issue round. Add that up, and my view is that there are far better choices.

I shoot a friends about a year ago. Very nice shooter. Accurate, little recoil and accurate. Another friend carries one as his main ccw choice. As far a people stopper goes, it was 5.7 that was by the wack job that shot up a certain Army base.
5.7 is also what the P90 uses.

not to start anything but the part where no law enforcement agency has chosen 5.7 is wrong. The secret service has chosen it as one of there rounds. they use that and 357 sig
"The value you put on the lost will be determined by the sacrifice you are willing to make to seek them until they are found."
If your buddy really wants something like a 5.7 in a pistol, maybe he should pick up something in 22 magnum.
5.7 x 28 is not a "rifle round". Not remotely close.
Battle Plan (n) - a list of things that aren't going to happen if you are attacked.
Blame it on Sixto - now that is a viable plan.
Learning to shoot again : Starting Over
Isn't the 5.7 all about the ability to penetrate body armor (and other penetration capability)?
In any event it worked better for Nidal Hassan than the 9mm did for Jared Loughner, so I wouldn't sneeze at it.
Almost identical ballistics to 22 magnum...just sayin.
I have seen people online giving great Youtube review clips. I like the idea of having a twenty round standard clip that you can add a +10 extender. I talked to some of the guys at the gun store and although the gun is expensive, the ammo that they had wasn't too bad. Also, as far as lethality goes, one of the defensive rounds made for it is designed to fragment and create three separate wounds after entry.
Just FYI, from what I've heard, the FHN 5.7 is one of the most profitable guns made. Because there is so much plastic and so little metal, the cost per unit to make that gun is something ridiculous like $40!!!...then they turn around and sell them for a grand. So many of the fun FNH toys have so much research and development attributed to their design that they definitely don't mind passing that expense along to the customer.

International Perspectives on Early Years Mathematics
Fox, Jillian L. (2007) International Perspectives on Early Years Mathematics. In Watson, Jane & Beswick, Kim (Eds.) 30th annual conference of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, July, 2007, Tasmania, Australia.
|PDF (57kB)
In recent decades the development of mathematical proficiency has been recognised as a key issue for children and their education. The purpose of this paper is to identify key international perspectives that influence Australian mathematics education in the early years especially those that are in a similar state of technological development to Australia. There are four key trends deserving of discussion (1) development in the early years, (2) mathematical proficiency in the early years, (3) mathematics policy and curriculum designed for young children, and (4) the existing research evidence-base.

Cash challenges for CFOs
Cash-poor companies may need to make more fundamental decisions about their business model.
While investment-grade corporates are amassing formidable balance sheet positions, those at the other end of the cash spectrum would no doubt regard this as a nice problem to have.
After a period of four years in which banks have tightened credit and reduced lending, thousands of companies across Europe remain in a precarious cash position. Although many banks are now on a h3er footing, their willingness to lend, particularly to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), remains low.
Credit conditions may have improved compared with the darkest days of 2008, but net new lending remains well below pre-crisis levels.
With their access to new finance constrained, cash-poor companies can do little more than roll over existing debt packages and hope for credit conditions to improve. SMEs or companies rated below investment grade have few options because, unlike larger companies, they have limited access to capital markets and syndicated lending facilities.
With a sharp upturn in the global economy looking increasingly unlikely, the outlook for lending remains bleak, particularly for SMEs. This means that cash-poor companies may need to make more fundamental decisions about their business model, and adapt it for a low-growth, low-cash environment.
Below we list five strategies for CFOs confronted with this scenario:
Build trust with banks and other finance providers
Although overall credit conditions remain poor, particularly for SMEs, banks are still willing to lend to companies with the right management team, strategy and processes. CFOs of cash-poor companies may have to work harder than ever to convince banks to finance them, but the funding is there for companies that have the right story to tell.
For Caroline Ross, Director of the Key Executive Program at EY, UKI, this starts with having a transparent, open relationship with banks.
"You have to maintain a very close dialogue with banks and ensure that there are no surprises at any time," she says. "It's essential to have absolute clarity on the numbers and to be able to communicate that regularly to finance-providers."
Move from tactical to operational working capital improvements
In the immediate wake of the financial crisis, cash-poor companies were forced to try every approach going to strengthen their balance sheet and ensure survival. Working capital management was a key source of focus as many companies had let their discipline slip while times were good.
After several years of this tactical approach to balance sheet management, companies now need to adopt a more strategic stance.
"Companies have realized that these tactical changes to working capital take a huge amount of effort and often don't actually lead to better earnings," say Jon Morris, EMEIA leader of EY's Working Capital Services.
Turn to the tax department
Tax is no longer an island. There is a growing acceptance that h3er links need to be forged between the tax function and the business to optimize the company's tax position and uncover inefficiencies.
"Although it is below the line, tax has an immediate impact on cash," says Herwig Joosten, Managing Partner Tax at EY, Belgium. "As a result, CFOs are increasingly pushing tax directors to manage cash taxes and generate up-front benefits and many of their KPIs are being established around these goals."
Explore non-bank sources of debt
Put simply, the banking sector will increasingly struggle to meet the demand for credit in the economy. This is because it needs to de-leverage and because it faces more stringent regulation, which is aimed at strengthening the capital position of the sector as a whole.
"Under the new Basel rules, banks will be unable to lend profitably relative to the amount of capital that they have to hold against certain categories of loans and risk-weighted assets," says David Barker, EMEIA Head of Transaction Advisory Services for Financial Services at EY.
In the past couple of years, a number of different non-bank sources of finance have started to emerge, including private equity, asset managers, pension funds and even sovereign wealth funds.
Rethink the supply chain and business model
Uncertain patterns of demand and a volatile economic environment have increased the need for close collaboration between suppliers and their customers. Traditionally, suppliers have been unable to get a clear picture of demand, because the end customer will not deal directly with them.
To address this lack of visibility, many suppliers and customers are now working more closely together to understand when peaks and troughs of demand might occur.
"If companies can think of themselves as being part of an overall supply chain rather than focusing on their own internal issues, they will be much more efficient at predicting and managing demand," says Morris.

As part of the Schwab ETF OneSource platform, investors and advisors will be able to buy and sell 105 ETFs commission free. All major asset classes are available through this offering, including ETF Securities' physically-backed precious metal ETFs. "We're extremely pleased to partner with Charles Schwab to offer our funds directly to investors without a commission," says Will Rhind 1, Managing Director of ETF Securities, New York. "Studies show that the biggest factor in considering an ETF is cost 2. This new offering removes that barrier and gives unprecedented ease-of-access to investors who want to participate in the precious metals market without having to purchase coins or bars." With $0 online trade commissions, Schwab clients will be able to trade ETF Securities' Physical Swiss Gold Shares (SGOL), Physical Silver Shares (SIVR), Physical Platinum Shares (PPLT), Physical Palladium Shares (PALL), Physical Precious Metals Basket Shares (GLTR), and Physical White Metals Basket Share (WITE).

Mr. Rhind concludes, "Since entering the U.S. market in July 2009, ETF Securities has amassed more than $4.1 billion in assets under management in the United States. Being part of Schwab's offering -- through its base of 8.7 million brokerage accounts -- gives us much broader reach for the ultimate benefit of investors who want physical precious metals as part of a diversified portfolio."

IN THE remote islands off Canada's east coast, I was given an old rule of survival: If you get lost in the forest, follow the bear tracks and eat what the bears eat, except skunk cabbage.
There was no second rule for what to do about the bear, should he also appear.
No matter. "Do this and you'll live," it says, "just as we did in the past."
My own food trail began with the overnight train from Vancouver to Jasper, along a route that once opened the Rockies to modern travel, and to a particular kind of wilderness experience, one
that in the early days involved bear trails, yes, but also servants and dress codes.
One hundred years on, I followed in the steps of these first tourists and checked into Jasper Park Lodge, long since the base for the well-to-do who wanted to do more of it in the open. Then I put on my best pair of jeans for dinner.
This was to be at Tekarra, a cabin-like restaurant just back from the white Miette River. The restaurant's menu is described as Canadian regional. If this was another way of saying bear food, then clearly the French had been following along the tracks, too, and making adjustments.
My meal was foie gras with maple syrup pearls followed by a main of venison loin with parsnip puree and Alberta rose hip jus.
For all its refinement, it still felt like a Canadian welcome, substantial food that spoke to a back country appetite.
Afterwards, I hiked along the river. Or, rather, I walked twenty paces to a view of Mt Tekarra and The Whistlers, which from the bank were framed by exposed tree roots.
The next morning I did what everyone did and has done for the past 100 years, and made my way to Maligne Lake to see Spirit Island, an emblem of the area's natural beauty. This now-short journey once took a couple of days, and on arrival at the lake guests were greeted with high tea, an institution now revived in the refurbished Maligne Lake Chalet.
It wasn't ever meant to be tea at London's Dorchester. My host told me with some pride I'd find the crust left on.
The egg sandwiches were served with scones the size of rock cakes, choc chip cookies, and, perhaps in a nod to the bears, Pacific salmon with caviar.
Determined to remain ungentrified by all this rough luxury, the following day I unleashed my various Top Gear fantasies on Highway 93. Known as the Icefields Parkway, the road winds through the staggeringly large landscape of Jasper National Park, and eventually brings you out at Lake Louise, another small town with a history defined by rail.
That evening, I walked along Bow River and its curtain of conifers and wildflowers to the train station, which is now a restaurant rendered beautifully in dark wood panels.
The bar area is a highlight, with its back wall of Art Deco windows facing the railway track, which now and then brings in freight trains. You see them in Banff as well, which - like Lake Louise - modelled its early tourism on an Alpine template - a fairytale Banff Springs Hotel, gondolas, skiing, and remedial springs. I even found fondue and other Swiss-Italian standards at Ticino, where I sampled a reportedly "famous" wild mushroom soup.
When I joked with the waiter about just how famous this soup might be, he good-naturedly replied its fame had at least made it to the end of Banff Avenue. I think it deserved wider recognition, perhaps even as far as Banff Centre, a campus on a hill a little to the side, both in mood and location, of the main part of town. There weren't many hikers there, but the centre attracts artists from the world over, and perhaps that's why I found my best coffee there. The history of creativity owes a lot to caffeine.
The view of the Rockies from the cafe was also, in its way, one of the most interesting I'd come across. The centre has sponsored a modern architectural response to the mountains, and it strikes as one of the few places that was fully liberated from Alberta's log cabin inheritance.
But if I'd strayed off the bear trail, it wasn't for long. I found my stretch of it at Nakoda on the Lake, a lodge located in a Stoney First Nations reserve that you enter via the optional long cut Highway 1A.
Here I found a version of the past that included an indigenous perspective.
A large hall was filled with smoke from an open barbecue. It served elk sausages, no less, which like so much in Alberta were somehow forested in flavour. However imprecise a description that seems, if you get there one day you'll know what I mean.
I was now out of the woods and heading to Calgary's Hotel Le Germain, where I quickly re-established my more urban side on the treadmills of a top floor gym that overlooked the city, and then later undid all my hard work in Charcut, a modern restaurant that emphasises rather old values: sustainable food and good beer.
The house specialty was a board of pork meats that I couldn't resist and that, in the end, was enough to fill me and my companion. The famous Alberta steak would have to wait, but not for long. My last night in pursuit of the bears, their diet, and their more recent co-travellers was at Vancouver's Bacchus, a much-decorated restaurant where I found that even here on the coast, and in opulent style, I could stay on the trail of the Rockies.

Lake Louise: Paradise Lodge and Bungalows are walking distance from the lake and a short drive from the centre of the village.
Calgary: Hotel Le Germain offers a very modern and stylish finish to a road trip from Jasper to Calgary, with immaculately presented rooms and fine dining options.
In Jasper, try Canada regional cuisine at Tekarra.
Maligne Lake Chalet has revived the afternoon tea ritual, available in summer.
The repurposed old train station at Lake Louise offers fine food and the opportunity to enjoy one of the charming remnants of the area's railway heritage.
For Banff's tribute to Swiss traditions, follow Banff Ave to Ticino.
Brunch at Nakoda on the Lake makes a worthwhile break on the drive from Banff and Calgary.
For a treat in Vancouver, Bacchus Restaurant at the Wedgewood Hotel and Spa.

Mom took me to the fair on Monday. I knew something fun was going to happen because she had my special leash, my clicker, my harness, and some great treats!
I was a little nervous at first. There were so many people, noises, and things to sniff. There were a lot of dogs there, too. I couldn't figure out why mom kept asking me to practice my tricks when there was so much to check out. I pretty much ignored her.
Later on, mom brought me into the middle of this big building and there were people on the sides watching. I watched as some other dogs did tricks for their people and figured it out. We were in a contest! You better bet that I was on my best behavior then!
Mom asked me to wave at the audience. Then she asked me to chase my tail. Finally, she asked me to turn on a special light that she brought along for me.
At the end, the judge asked the audience to clap to say who should win. He walked to each dog so the audience could clap.
Guess who won? ME!
I got to wear a pretty red, white, and blue ribbon to show that I won 1st place! Hurray!!!!
I am so happy today! As you guys will remember, I am a SAR dog. Last night I got to go to work. I just love to work!
Mom got me all harnessed up and put my cape on me. We all got in the search van and went to some place where there were a lot of people in uniform and lots of cars. Mom got me out and asked me if I was ready to work. I jumped all over and barked to tell her "OF COURSE!!! LET'S GO!!" So she let me smell something so I would know who I was looking for. Mom told me that it was a 91 yr-old lady that had wandered into the wilderness by her house that morning with her 15 yr-old yorkie. It was very hot outside and I knew we had to work fast to find her.
We worked for a while. Mom kept stopping me to give me drinks and let me rest. She was really worried about the heat. I didn't want to stop. I needed to find that person!
Finally, she made me stop and all of the search dogs took a break. I heard mom talking with some other search people and one of the important guys said that he would not let us work past dark because it was too dangerous. We train at night too, but they just wouldn't let us. That meant that we only had about 20 minutes to search!
One of the dogs had shown some interest in an area so we all got together and began searching as fast as we could. Just a little while later, someone called mom on her radio to say that one of the dogs on the team had found her! Hurray!
The lady had been missing for 12 hours in the above-90 degree heat. She had fallen down a hill in the woods but was not injured. She was going into shock but our team mates knew what to do to help her until the people in the big red and white truck arrived.
Sadly, her little dog did not make it. The lady was holding her body when she was found. Mom said that the team is going to pitch in and have her cremated, whatever that means.
I am just glad she was found ok. It was our team's first live recovery! I am so happy and proud of my team mates!
I love my mom and dad. They took me camping last weekend. The best part is, they left my stupid sister, Dallas home. Pele had to stay home because of her surgery, so it was just me and Ripley, the heathen puppy. I must admit, Ripley was on her best behaviour.
Some friends of mom and dad came along, too. They brought Cajun, who used to be my sister. We had a fun time hanging out together again. We go to go for long hikes, swim, sleep in a tent, and eat smores! They were SO good! Mom also gave me some hot dog that she roasted over the campfire. I am drooling while I write this.
Somehow, everywhere we go, mom and dad always seem to find someone that needs help. There was a little dog that came to see us when we were hiking. I had seen him a few times over the weekend, but didn't pay much attention. I was too busy looking for squirrels. The little dog came and sat with us when dad went to get the car. I could tell that mom felt sorry for him. I kinda did too. While we were sitting there, the little guy would see a group of people coming and run over to them all excited. Before he got to them, he noticed that they were not his family and turn back around with a sad look on his face. So mom brought him home. She has been looking for his family, but the park office says that dogs get dumped there all the time. I sure am lucky that mom and dad love me and would never think of doing that to me.

Degree Level
Transport of membrane-bound organelles is critical to neuronal cell function yet mechanisms hitching vesicles to transport machinery remain elusive. Here we test whether jun-‐kinase interacting protein (JIP-‐1), a peripheral membrane scaffolding protein that binds kinesin light chain, is sufficient to mediate cargo transport in axons and study its competition with amyloid precursor protein cytoplasmic domain (APP-‐C) and negative charge, also known motor receptors. Fluorescent beads (100 nm diameter) exhibit sequence-‐specific fast anterograde transport (0.46μm/s instantaneous velocity) in the squid giant axon when conjugated to a 14-‐ amino acid synthetic peptide derived from the carboxyl terminus of JIP-‐1. JIP-‐1-‐ beads have statistically significant faster velocities, longer run lengths, and fewer pauses of shorter durations than APP-‐C or negatively charged beads by cumulative probability analyses of thousands of motile beads compared by a nonparametric K-‐S test, with a P=0.004. In competition experiments negatively charged beads gradually cease moving when co-‐injected with either APP-‐C or JIP-‐1 beads, which sustain 90% motility. Co-‐injection of APP-‐C and JIP-‐1 beads decreases each bead's propensity to move initially. At later time points JIP-‐1-‐beads recover frequency without further decreasing APP-‐C moves, suggesting JIP-‐1 recruits motors from a cryptic pool not accessible to APP-‐C. Soluble JIP-‐1 peptide inhibits JIP-‐1 beads, with smaller effects on APP-‐C and negatively charged beads. Thus the hierarchy for recruitment of transport machinery is JIP>APP>negative charge. Organelle transport may in part be regulated through the numbers, types and affinities of motor receptors displayed on each organelle's cytoplasmic surface.

WASHINGTON – Although many of the jury candidates screened during the first two days of Roger Clemens' trial have admitted they are casual baseball fans, the majority have stated they have little knowledge about Clemens, his career, the details of the government's case against him or last July's mistrial.
Nonetheless, Day 2 of jury selection for Clemens' perjury trial crawled at a snail's pace Tuesday.
Only eight of Tuesday's prospective jurors being interviewed by U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton and attorneys for both sides were approved for the second phase of the seating process. All told, through the first two days, 33 possible jurors had been interviewed with 15 retained as possible candidates.
The court is narrowing a pool of 90 potential jurors to 36, from which the 12-person jury and four alternates will ultimately be selected to hear Clemens answer the government's charges that he lied under oath to a House Committee investigating the use of performance enhancing drugs in baseball in 2008.
"In cases with celebrity figures involved, the court's No. 1 objective is to make certain all jurors come to the courtroom without bias," says Philip Anthony, CEO of DecisionQuest, a trial and jury consulting firm with offices in Washington.
Anthony says it's possible, even in an urban environment such as Washington, to seat a jury which has very little knowledge of the celebrity or the charges against him.
"Even in the Michael Jackson trial, one might think that everyone knew who Michael Jackson was," Anthony says. "That was not the case (although) the judge went through about 150 people before going forward."
Walton began screening prospective jurors with an 86-question survey in the voir dire process. Some of the questions concern their familiarity with baseball, other athletes including Barry Bonds and Lance Armstrong, and their knowledge of performance-enhancing drugs
"The defense would probably like a person who is a baseball buff," Anthony says. "There's a chance that, even if that person expresses that he doesn't have an opinion, deep down inside he might be enamored of Roger Clemens for what he accomplished.
"The prosecution might like a person who believes that all sports are corrupt – that sports are out-of-control because they're big business."
What else might Clemens' lead attorney Rusty Hardin be seeking from prospective jurors?
"The defense attorneys are going to look for jurors that can see shades of gray," says Stuart Slotnick, managing partner of the firm Buchanan Ingersoll and Rooney of New York City . "(That includes) social workers, teachers, blue-collar workers, who are likely to look at the case as being one that was created by distrusted politicians. They will try to avoid people that do not consider emotional factors in their professions or in their personality types – people such as CPAs, analysts, actuaries and accountants."
Slotnick says "the prosecution is looking for people who can defer to authority and see things through a black-and-white prism."
But he's not sure sports fans should be favored by one side or the other.
"The prosecution," Slotnick says, "may have concerns that a baseball fan will think that the prosecution is wasting time prosecuting a sport legend for something that 'everyone was doing.'
"At the same time, a sports fan may believe that Clemens – along with many others – were using performance enhancing drugs and, therefore believe that Clemens lied under oath."
Like Anthony, Slotnick believes it's not unreasonable to think there will be jurors seated who know next-to-nothing about Clemens.
"The jury pool pulls from all walks of life, including those who do not care about sports and who do not follow high-profile criminal trials," he says. "It is not necessarily a good thing or a bad thing if someone has not heard of Roger Clemens. The jury selection will last as long as it takes until a fair and unbiased jury is selected."
Daily Pitch is a baseball fan's destination for breaking news, emerging trends and enlightening banter. With a veteran group of reporters positioned in three time zones, we provide a balanced, comprehensive glimpse at our national pastime, with a nod to both the passion and complexities that make the sport irresistible to many.

Lots of great discussion here and the following is offered to help all of us out. Any improvements or negatives are really welcome to minimize ash flying around.
After a lot of thought and understanding that it's going to be tuff getting extra any factory ash pans from Harmon, several stores were visited and qty 8 2" high steel teflon coated baking pans were purchased for 3 bucks each. They fit pretty well in the Mark II stove ( 15.5" wide and 10.5" deep) and the height and depth is less than the factory pan so air flow should not be negatively affected.
Plan is to remove the pan once a day and carefully place put the pan into a galvinized garbage pail that lies at a 30 degree or so angle (supported by a metal frame ).Pail cover then goes on. I'm planning to let 5-6 days worth of ash and pans accumulate in the barrel and on a sunny weekend day take the whole thing out of the bilco door. Goal is not to go outside every night to dump or get some ash in the basement air from dumping the ash pan.
Hope this helps others. Am I missing anything ?

Two Buses Stolen From Alachua County School District Lot
Published September 10th, 2013
Loading Video...
HAWTHORNE -- They're big, bright yellow and usually stick out like a sore thumb in traffic -- yet that didn't stop somebody from stealing two Alachua County Public School buses on Monday.
According to the Alachua County Sheriff's Office, bus numbers 2804 and 2703 were sitting in a maintenance lot near Hawthorne High School over the weekend. They say the burglars gained access to the lot sometime between Sunday night and early Monday morning, after using a pair of bolt cutters to break open the lot's gate.
Once inside, the thieves started the buses and drove away, even though they had no keys.
"It's believed that these buses are either being put on shipping containers and shipped to countries overseas, or they're being separated into parts and distributed on the black market," said Sgt. Todd Kelly of the Alachua County Sheriff's Office. Kelly says bus parts often sell at high prices in foreign countries.
While it's still not known how the thieves were able to start up the buses, Kelly says investigators believe they either had a master key or were able to hot-wire the ignition.
Back in July, two buses were also stolen from a public school lot in Flagler County, leading investigators in Alachua County to believe these two cases may be related.
In an effort to prevent another theft of this kind, school district officials say they will consider installing security cameras at all of their bus maintenance lots. They also say bus drivers are using two spare buses to temporarily replace the ones that were stolen, causing no impact on students. We're told the two buses that are missing were at least partially insured by the school district.
If you have any information that could help investigators find these school bus thieves, you're asked to call ASO at (352) 955-1818.

The other day my wife and I were helping move my sister-in law out of a bad situation she was living in. Long story short she was living with a "friend" and her husband who were taking advantage of her financially and emotionally. My sister-in law no longer felt safe so my wife and I decided to call the local sheriff department to accompany us with a "watch and protect order". Three very sharp deputies showed up, we explained the situation to them and headed over to the apartment. When we were in the apartment parking lot I pulled the ranking deputy aside and said "I have a concealed carry licence and am carrying now, do I need to disarm before we go in?" I figured that they would want to know such a thing before going into a potentially dangerous situation.
I was surprised with the deputy's response when he got a big smile and said "NO WAY man you're good, we appreciate you telling us though!"
Everything ended up fine, no problems but I was very impressed with the way the Jeffco Sheriff handled it. :hand10:

Regardless, the night went VERY well. Like I said before I know what I am doing and can handle myself just fine when it comes to women, going out, etc. I decided to take my approach on this and took her to somewhere that is a little upscale but a fun, entertaining environment at The Bazaar Resturant at the SLS Hotel. It was really a fun spot and she had an amazing time! Ultimately, everything went really well and because she had a great night we are planning on meeting on Sunday again and I am going to her place cause she wants to cook dinner for us. We been txting pretty much throughout the day today and even hit me up early this morning about how much fun she had so I know she is playing a front, for those E46 guys doubting me in anyway.
I should have never posted a thread on here asking for locations to go to, this thread has turned into ****. I should have known better on E46OT!

Lonestar will be celebrating its 20th anniversary, and Blues Traveler will whoop it up during its own 25th-anniversary tour.
Those two long-running acts along with veterans Sheena Easton, Wilson Phillips and Frank Caliendo are some of the headliners playing concerts at this year's Utah State Fair.
But perhaps the most anticipated show of the Grandstand Entertainment series will feature Victoria Justice, the 19-year-old star of the Nickelodeon TV series "Zoey 101" (which ended in 2008) and "Victorious" (which wraps at the end of the current season).
It will be Justice's first time in Utah to perform a concert, although she visited the Beehive state at age 14 when she guest-starred in the TV series "Everwood," which was shot locally.
Now that her TV series is ending, Justice is determined to jump-start her singing career. "I am ready to move on," she said. "We're going out on top."
The Hollywood starlet who was born and raised in Hollywood, Fla. caught the acting bug when she was 8. "I was watching TV one day and saw a kid in a chip commercial," Justice said. "I said, 'Mom, I can do it.' " Her mother put her off, but Justice kept pestering until she relented and got the child signed with an agent.
In her first audition for an Ovaltine commercial, she wowed the casting agents. Before she turned 11, she had shot more than 30 commercials in Florida. Then her family moved to California to see if she could benefit from more show-business opportunities.
In 2005, Justice was cast in a main role in "Zoey 101" as Lola Martinez, a student and aspiring actress. Once the show went off the air in part because "Zoey 101" star Jamie Lynn Spears became pregnant Nickelodeon decided it wanted a show built around Justice. In "Victorious," Justice portrayed aspiring singer Tori Vega, a student at Hollywood Arts High School.
"I think I had a lot of experience," Justice said about landing her own series. "I always felt natural. I was a hard worker, too."
The top-rated show was a perfect opportunity for Justice to show off her vocal chops, and she ended up writing three pop songs that appeared in the series.
At the Utah State Fair, Justice will perform songs taken from "Victorious," along with covers that include "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay. In recent concerts, she's performed "I Want You Back" by the Jackson 5 as well as a Bruno Mars medley. The three songs she wrote for "Victorious" "Faster Than Boys," "Make It in America" and "Best Friend's Brother" also have shown up on her concert set lists.
"I've been writing since I was 16," Justice said. "I'm writing from my heart."
Justice's "Make It in America" tour will finish up soon, and she'll return to working on her debut album, due to be released next year. She's also scheduled to promote "Fun Size," a film directed by Josh Schwartz, creator of "The O.C." and "Gossip Girl," which is set to be released Oct. 26.
"It's a huge deal for me," Justice said of the film. "It's my first leading role in a big movie." She stars as Wren, a student who loses track of her younger brother at a Halloween party she attends with her crush. " 'Fun Time' is different than being in a family TV show," Justice said. "My character is much more subdued more of a real girl."

Bay Pines VA Healthcare System
VA Secretary Shinseki Announces Local Grants for Homeless Veterans
September 24, 2012
BAY PINES, FL – Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki announced today the award of $1,064,886 in grant money to the Catholic Charities Diocese of St. Petersburg, Inc.*, one of 38 projects around the country that will provide temporary housing to formerly homeless Veterans with the goal that they will retain the residence as their own.
"As we drive toward our goal to end homelessness among Veterans in 2015, VA continues to find innovative ways to permanently house Veterans who were formerly homeless," said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. "Under President Obama's leadership, we have made incredible strides in creating programs to aid these brave men and women who have served our Nation so well."
The grant to the Catholic Charities Diocese of St. Petersburg, Inc. will be used to provide a daily average of 25 beds for homeless Veterans to promote increased housing stabilization. Housing will be provided at 5726 126th Avenue North, Clearwater, FL; and 8384 Bayou Boardwalk, Largo, Fla.
The grants were awarded through a special program that gives Veterans the opportunity to take over payment of a lease instead of moving out after leaving certain VA programs, such as substance use counseling, mental health services, or job training. Usually, VA programs require Veterans living in transitional housing to move out after 24 months.
Called the "Transition in Place" model, it helps close the gaps in available housing for the nation's most vulnerable homeless Veterans, including women with children, Indian tribal populations, and Veterans with substance use and mental health problems.
"Securing permanent housing is a vital step in the journey of our homeless Veterans," said Dr. Susan Angell, executive director for VA's Veterans Homeless Initiative. "This is the last piece of the puzzle. It is crucial for them in continuing to lead independent lives."
Under the program, funds go to community-based programs that provide homeless Veterans with support services and housing.
Lisa Pape, national director of homeless programs for the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), which oversees VA's Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program (GPD), said VHA's focus is creating and strengthening community services around the country so that homeless Veterans get the support they need.
"Our focus is creating a team of community support -- pairing a variety of services, such as mental health support, employment assistance and job training -- with the essential component of housing," said Lisa Pape, national director of homeless programs for the VA's health care system, which oversees the program.
On a single night in 2011, a national count of homeless Veterans totaled 67,495, 12 percent lower than 76,000 in 2010. As part of Obama and Shinseki's five-year plan to eliminate Veteran homelessness by 2015, VA has committed almost $1 billion to strengthen programs that prevent and treat the many issues that can lead to Veteran homelessness.
To help a homeless Veteran or Veteran at risk of homelessness, refer them to the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans, 1-877-4AID-VET, or direct them to www.va.gov/homeless. The hotline connects homeless Veterans, Veterans at risk of becoming homeless and their families with the VA services and benefits they have earned.

After The Fall (edition 2012)
by Sarah Goodwin, Vikkie Moule (Illustrator)
Work details
After The Fall by Sarah Goodwin
No current Talk conversations about this book.
3.5 stars. Pretty engrossing read about two amnesiacs finding love after losing everything.
Very well written novel about a man who lost his memory. It was first person POV and the atmosphere is partly quite bleak.
As the memory loss is more or less permanent, the book is more about finding out who he is now and for the rest of his life, although Connor does look into some events from his "old" life.
He finds a friend and lover in a guy from his support group who has also lost his memory.
I very much liked how they found love together and build a good life from the scraps they have.
What I didn't like: the very unplausible plot.
But I will definetly check out the author's next books.
Easily one of my favorite books of 2012. I love finding a new author with a strong voice and a voice I want to read again and again.
The previous reviewer and synopsis already does a great job at providing the story outline. This is a fantastic mystery and a wonderful love story, told in Connor's first person narrative beginning as he awakes in the hospital with retrograde amnesia.
The sense of place is masterfully told. No character here is conveniently wealthy: no helicopters, no town cars, no black Amex cards, or rich relatives. Connor and his fellow amnesiacs meet at Amnesiacs Anonymous in a run-down city building. Grotty flats, desperate job searches, and foraging for food create a stark atmosphere. I could smell the oily crips.
Two of my favorite descriptions in the book:
"It was a gray day, one of those mornings when the sky is the colour of old pants and pavements, the walls and the very air is damp and old smelling, like the inside of a washing machine."
"I...felt a shift, like when alcohol first detonates in the stomach, striking out via veins to the extremities, numbing, burning, making the heart beat more noticeably."
There is a fine mystery with lots of switchbacks. An incomparable love story. And a fantastic twist. The characters and the story haunted me even while I was at work, and I couldn't wait to squirrel away somewhere with the kindle and get back into it.
This book needs to be in print and passed around often. I anxiously await more from Goodwin.
When Connor wakes up in a hospital bed, he realises that the accident that broke his leg has also wiped his memory. His wife is a stranger, his dead parents just a photograph, and his home an unfamiliar, shabby place that smells of dog.
At a local support group for amnesiacs, Connor meets Nate, a fellow sufferer of retrograde amnesia. Nate has no memory, and no idea how he came to lose it, but he remains easy going, and Connor quickly considers the foulmouthed, chain-smoking Nate a friend.
But, when Nate makes a pass at him, Connor starts to question everything he's learnt about himself. Is he really a happily married 32 year old, or are secrets being kept from him?
Who is the mysterious 'Coop' whose cryptic emails are still in his inbox? And why, on the day of his accident, was he driving with another man in his car? A man whose life, and death, are still a touchy subject at home.
When what you don't know really can hurt you, who can you trust? A stranger? Or a stranger you've lived with for 9 years?
Very interesting Premise that is well executed. Finely drawn character's drive the plot and gain your sympathy for Connor.
And a crafty mystery to boot.

Burial will be at St. Mary's Cemetery, Watertown. Military Honors will be conducted by Codington County Post 17 of the American Legion and Watertown Army National Guard Funeral Honors Team.

He was employed by Pollard International for many years and most recently he repaired small engines for Mahowald's Hardware. Bob enjoyed watching NASCAR, mud racing, traveling and tinkering with anything mechanical.
Bob enjoyed dining at the Wheel Inn and always came well prepared with napkins, plastic spoon and sugar packets in his pockets. He loved spending time with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
He was a member of Holy Name Catholic Church.
Grateful for having shared his life are his children, Cheryl Mondloch-Potts of Boise, Idaho, Stephen (Kelly) Mondloch of Grapevine, Texas, Susan (Albert) Cox of Groton, Christopher (Stephanie) Mondloch of California; eight grandchildren; six great grandchildren; one brother, Arnold Mondloch of Watertown; a sister Kaylyn (Clifford) Welch of Watertown; two brothers-in-law, William (Karen) Ostrander of Castlewood, Ronald (Kathy) Ostrander of Boise; three sisters-in-law, Marjorie (Richard) Kasuske and Nancy Ostrander of Watertown and Diane (James) Ostrander of San Antonio, Texas.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Judy in 2004; two brothers, Richard and John Mondloch; and a brother-in-law, James Ostrander.
