Reunited And it Feels so Good
This time, I don't think David Frum, ConfirmThemAndThisTimeWeReallyMeanIt.COM, Michelle Malkin, Patterico, Hugh Hewitt, Professor Bainbridge, Captain Ed, John Hawkins and I (and, I suspect, George Will, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, and too many others to count) have anything to squabble over. Well, that's not quite true; we probably are in for a fight, but this time it will be against the guys we're supposed to be fighting against, and not against each other. Ain't love grand?
The best part of Alito's nomination is that he's such a strong candidate even Chuck Schumer supports him. Oh, of course he doesn't praise him directly; he saw what that did when Harry Reid did the same for Harriet Miers. Nope, Schumer praises Alito the good old fashion Democrat way, by attacking him on an issue too transparently silly to be taken seriously:
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., also blasted Bush for not picking someone in the "mold of Sandra Day O'Connor, who would unify us."
Schumer referred, of course, to President Bush's campaign promise to nominate Supreme Court Justices "in the mold of … oh, I don't know, whoever."
"This controversial nominee, who would make the court less diverse and far more conservative, will get very careful scrutiny from the Senate and from the American people," Schumer said.
Sorry, Charlie, we didn't nominate the black or Hispanic one this time. Not to worry, though; there's a decent chance that a third seat on the Court will open up before 2009, so maybe we can appoint Janice Rogers Brown then. Meanwhile, I guess we'll have to settle for this compromise candidate. Oh well.
Last and least, Alito's nomination was a far better choice than Harriet Miers's. While I remained anti-anti-Miers to the end, part of the reason I did was because I didn't think we knew enough about how kind of Justice she would make, or who Bush would nominate in her place if her nomination fell through. I still think there's a chance (albeit a diminished one) that Miers would make a decent Supreme Court Justice. I think it's extremely unlikely, however, that she would have been nearly as good of a Justice as Samuel Alito, and no chance at all that she would have been better. Accordingly, now that we know the end result of Miers's withdrawal, at least in terms of who is nominated, I have finally come down off that fence I was stuck on for almost a month: I oppose the Miers nomination.
UPDATE: Tammy Bruce dissents in part, acknowledging Alito's qualifications but expressing lament that Bush did not name a woman instead. Me, I'm glad he picked a solid nominee without respect to sex, i.e., I'm confident he did not pick Alito because he was a man, and would not have been entirely happy if he had chosen any woman because she was a woman (though I can think of a few women I'd have been just as happy with). There's no right or wrong (nor even any death thereof) to that point, but I do think that later in her post, Tammy's ex-liberal roots may have caused her to miss a crucial point about judicial conservatism, which is much more different from its political counterpart than judicial and political liberalism are. Tammy writes:
And when it comes to being conservative, there is nothing conservative about ruling in a manner that says government has a right to control communications between spouses. I think all of you would certainly agree with that. And yet consider this when it came to his dissent in Planned Parenthood Vs. Casey…. :
"In the early 1990s, Alito was the lone dissenter in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, a case in which the 3rd Circuit struck down a Pennsylvania law that included a provision requiring women seeking abortions to notify their spouses."
While many of you probably would, of course, personally prefer that a woman tell her husband what she's doing, especially if she's getting an abortion, legislating what a wife or husband should tell each other is the opposite of a conservative view of government. Obviously, he's pro-life, and that's fine. But that's a religious position, not an authentically conservative 'political' position. The two are very different.
Indeed they are, but just as importantly, both are very different from what Justice Alito did, which was to rule in a judicially conservative manner, not to uphold a law on that basis that it does or does not produce a politically conservative result. To a judicial liberal, all "bad" laws are unconstitutional, and all good laws are constitutional. To a judicial conservative, however, laws that conform with the Constitution are constitutional, and laws that do not are unconstitutional, and the political desirability of such laws is mostly irrelevant (or, where the intended scope of the law in question is clear, completely so). In ruling the way that he did, Scalito did not step into the shoes of the Pennsylvania Legislature and say, in effect, "I think wives who want abortions should be required to inform their husbands first." What he did say, in effect, was "My opinion about the wisdom of this law is irrelevant, but what is relevant is that I can't find anything in the Constitution, or even the 'constitutional' precedent of Roe v. Wade, that forbids it." That is the only question a judicially conservative judge should ask, and it's the only question Alito did ask, or answer.
UPDATE x2: Jon Henke has more on this case, and on a Fourth Amendment case that has a lot of moonbat panties in a twist.

Actually, I'm going to come out and say it's a a good appointment, but I see no reason to unite behind it. At least insofar as I'm part of the base (albeit an idiosyncratic one), I'm still disappointed at the anti-Miers crowd. I liked the idea of a practitioner being appointed, and the vitriol thrown at her by the blue-bloods of the blawgosphere still strikes me as shameful. The Republicans aren't getting my money in at least the 2006 election cycle.
Maybe we should be unified, but I see no reason to be. Judge Alito may be a wonderful jurist, but I don't really want to be associated with much of the anti-Miers crowd, and the lack of civility they showed turned my stomach much more than the nomination itself. For the first time in my life, I'm tempted to sit out the next election.

A. Rickey, there was no "lack of civility" on the part of the anti-Miers crowd. Almost without exception they kept away from inflamatory language and ad homenim attacks except for their questioning of Miers's qualifications, which was relevant to the question at hand.
The only consistent use of irrelevant ad homenim came from Miers supporters who frequently accused her opponents of sexism, elitism, and hypocracy –all without grounds to do so.
The Miers supporters are now engaged in another leftist-pioneered rhetorical trick: change history.
A. Rickey Says:
October 31st, 2005 at 10:14 am
Now that we've determined that she's a terrible writer, a sloppy thinker, a sycophant and a bad manager … Am I the only one that's troubled that she's still White House Counsel? (Is she? I assume so.)
That was Prof. Fleischer over at The Conglomerate (which isn't exactly a small operation. It was hardly out of the norm. Perhaps you consider that civil, I don't.
A. Rickey Says:
October 31st, 2005 at 10:16 am
Incidentally, if Miers had ever accused someone of "hypocracy," I'm sure it would have been well-castigated and given as proof of her incompetence, regardless of the setting in which the mistake was made.
Doc Rampage Says:
October 31st, 2005 at 10:19 am
off the fence
I think this is a bit precipitous since Xrlq doesn't yet know the outcome of the nomination process. What if the Democrats and press mount such a formidable opposition that Bush is devastated and ends up nominating Bill Clinton instead, in an effort …

NHTSA — Service Brakes Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2007 Ford Escape looks pretty good compared to other Ford Escape model years, but still has a trend of transmission problems, so it's not a model year we can recommend.
Also the base model Escape did not come with side airbags so it received a "Poor" rating from the IIHS for side impact protection. Other similar 2007 models like the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V & Hyundai Santa Fe scored far better.

Chapter 9 : The new beginning
|Rating: 15+
|Chapter Reviews: 12
Background: Font color:
Hermy? A very thick accent could be heard saying, their big hands trying to shake a woman awake. Hermy, wake up.
Hermiones eyes snapped open. Oh, its just you, she mumbled, sitting up and rubbing her eyes.
Victor passed her a glass of Pumpkin Juice and a letter.
Whats this? She asked, taking the letter from his hand.
He shrugged and walked from the room.
She scanned her tired eyes over the letter.
You need to get to St. Mungos as soon as you can, its Ron.
Hermiones heart began to race and she threw a cloak over her pyjamas. She moved quickly from the room.
Hermy? Victor appeared holding bacon and eggs.
Victor, Ive got to go, its Ron. Oh god her mind was going at a million miles an hour. What had happened?
Victor bent down to kiss her on the cheek but she narrowly dodged it and apparated on the spot.
Hermione landed outside St. Mungos and ran straight in, pushing people out of the line to find out which ward Ron was in. The lady told her and she ran through the corridors.
Finally she found the room and she threw the door open. She was glad to see that she was not the only one to be in her Pyjamas.
I only just got the letter! She said, still holding the letter tightly in her hand.
Harry stared at her with cold and distant eyes.
They think it was a Death Eater. He said like his voice wasnt really his.
Hermione fell into the nearest chair and buried her face with her hands, not wanting to look at the body lying on the bed.
Why? her voice was muffled through her hands.
No one knows yet, Mr Weasley said, his eyes glued on his son.
W-what curse? She said, standing up and looking down onto Rons lifeless body.
Avada Kedavra, Harrys cold voice replied.
Hermione felt a sharp intake of breath.
But? Hes not he cant be? She said, her eyes darting from Harry to Ron to Molly and then to Arthur.
Harry shrugged. We dont know, they said theres some sort of I dont know it doesnt quite make sense. They said something about a not complete old magic thing. Its sort of like the one my mum made for me. Hermione could see this all hit a soft spot.
Harry ran his finger over the side of the bed before continuing. Its because he was thinking about love or forgiveness at the time. Its got to do with hope and regret its twisted. But either way I dont think he knew he was doing old magic at the time so it didnt full form a shield.
Hermione looked at Ron. His blue eyes were open and staring up at the roof, his hands by his side and he was still in the clothes he must have slept in when he was hit by the curse.
Ron you can fight this, she thought madly to herself. Dont leave me, not this way. Please, Ron.
The door swung open and a tall and grey haired Healer walked into the room.
Ronald Weasley? He said, declaring that he was in the right room.
Everyone stared at him for answers so he knew to continue.
He coughed before continuing. We have run dozens of tests because this is a once off thing. We have never seen anything like it; we do believe that Ronald accidentally began to create a shield for himself that is very old magic. We do think that Ronald has been protected from the worst part of the Killing curse.
So- Mr Weasley started
Hes alive? Harry almost jumped with relief.
Yes, the healer nodded. But his body is half way through a shut down. What I mean is that he is not functioning as a normal human should. He will not be able to move or be like other people his age. We are afraid that he will have to be on a constant care. The Healers voice was hollow and dry.
What do you mean by half way through a shut down? Molly stood, trying to hold herself up.
I expect that he get tired very easily, we will need someone to always be there, he may not be able to walk, move or be like he used to. The Healer bowed his head down.
So theres nothing you can do? Nothing at all? Harry snapped.
Im afraid not, this problem is beyond anything that we are used to, Mr Potter.
Harry glared at the Healer for a moment and then turned back to his best friend.
He should come back into focus anytime soon. The Healer said before turning and leaving the room.
Molly fell back into a chair, covered in tears. Hes too young to have his life destroyed yet! She cried out before dissolving into even more tears. Mr Weasley patted her back, not tearing his eyes off his son.
Do we know when Ginny will be here? Mr Weasley said wearily to Harry.
Shes trying to get out of work now. Harry said sitting at Rons feet.
Time ticked so slowly as they all sat in silence, waiting for any sign of movement from Ron, hoping to god that he would come back to them.
Finally his eyes flickered. They opened and closed several times before he began to look around the room, confused and startled.
Molly jumped up with fright and ran to his side.
Ron! Ronny? Can you hear me? She said in a very loud and clear voice.
Why am I here? He groaned, trying to sit up.
Dont move, darling. Mrs Weasley shoved him down; tears began to reappear in her eyes.
Ron stared at Harry, he was asking for answers without really speaking.
Harry explained as much as he could. By the end of it Ron stared blankly up at the ceiling. So Im basically going to have no life? He said sourly.
Molly broke out with a very loud sob, while Harry looked down at his feet like it was his fault that Ron was going to live this way.
Its not your fault, Harry. Hermione spoke for the first time since Ron came back to them.
The Death Eaters I should have known when they came back to Hogwarts that they wanted something Harrys voice was drifting in and out.
Harry, stop it, you couldnt have known that they wanted to kill Ron. Hermione said, she hated it when Harry punished himself like this.
Dont you see, Hermione? Its the new generation of Death Eaters. They are trying to get us back for what we did to their Leader, Voldemort and their fathers. Harry ran his hand though his messy black hair.
Then we can protect ourselves now, we know what we are up against, dont we? Hermione tried to get Harry to look into her eyes. Dont blame yourself.
Harry didnt respond, and instead he turned back to Ron.
Ill resign tonight; I can be your full time carer. Harry said.
Harry, you cant do that. Mr Weasley said, playing with his wrinkly hands.
I can, and I will. Harry said stubbornly.
No, Ron finally spoke. Im not letting you leave a teaching position because of me. I dont want people treating me different just because Im not going to be able to be normal anymore. Rons last words stung everyone hearts.
Everyone sat in silence for some time. Ginny mailed them angrily saying that the shop she worked at would not let her out. Harry went to her aid and promised to be back soon.
Mrs and Mr Weasley decided to find a quick coffee to break the awkwardness.
Ron, Hermione said, standing up and walking to his side. I know you dont want me here, and I promised I would never come back but I had to.
Ron didnt look at her; he stared at a spot on the ceiling.
I do want you here, Im glad you came back. He said, his voice sounded so distant and unlike him.
Hermiones eyes sparkled with tears; she did her best to hold them back. She didnt want to ruin the moment shes been waiting for so long. I can look after you. She whispered carefully, pulling up a chair and running her finger across the back of his hand.
Thank you. He whispered stiffly back, his hand moved and slipped nervously into hers.
For what? She tried not to sound to forceful, trying to hide away the tears.
Just thank you. He couldnt look into her eyes.
Author: Ta Da! The end of the story. Looking back I am amazed how many times this was actually favourited. I am now going to go back and fix all those little things I have done wrong, ect, ect. Thank you to all for reading this. I hope your glad that there is such a cheesy ending, because it was going to be nothing like this until I decided that this sort of ending needed to come around into my always depressing stories.
Thanks again, Almost_Witch.

Poets are cartographers
Or at least they are in the latest issue of PEN America. From the editors:
In the latest issue of PEN America, we wanted to explore how writers encounter and examine the fictional topographies of their lives. Forrest Gander, Billy Collins, and Susan Bernofsky, among many others contributed original pieces to our forum. Also featured in this issue are conversations with Amélie Nothomb, Dale Peck, Abdellah Taïa, and Buket Uzuner. Plus poetry, fiction, essays, drama, and graphic narratives from around the world.

Podcast: Play in new window | Embed
Alex Jimenez is back with John and Nicholas this week! They talk about YouTube accounts being linked to Google+ profiles, 500 million G+ users, new Communities G+ feature, most viral tech ads of 2012, Android fans hijack Microsoft Twitter campaign and Google I/O dates.
1. Coming soon: Link your channel with a Google+ page (and keep your channel name)
Over the past several months we've been giving YouTube users the ability to change how they appear on YouTube, by using their Google+ profile on their YouTube channel. Well-known creators such as Michael Buckley, Philip DeFranco, Kina Grannis and Felipe Neto have chosen to use their Google name as their identity on YouTube, by linking their Google+ profile with their Channel. This has helped them access engagement and social features like Hangouts on Air.
2. Latest G+ Numbers – New G+ Communities Feature
Google announced G+ now has 500 million users with 235 million of those being "active" users. It's unclear exactly how Google defines "active" users but usually it means they have done some type of activity on the site in the last month.
G+ also has a new feature called Community. From what we can tell, these new pages are similar to Facebook Groups.
3. Most Viral Tech Ads of 2012 Dominated By Google, Samsung
Google and Samsung account for six of the top ten most popular tech product ads of the year.
4. Android Fans Hijack Microsoft Twitter Campaign
Microsoft asked Twitter followers to use the hashtag #DroidRage to complain about Android malware issues. But the idea backfired when pro-Android Twitter users joined in on the fun.
5. Google I/O Set For May 15-17
I/O is Google largest conference of the year and always promises loads of new product updates especially related to Android.

When I was a child, delighting in my summer vacation days at my Grandparents' cottage, I decided I would buy a cottage to enjoy when I grew up. And that I did... I have owned my cottage & 3-acre island for over 30 years now. As my life is now busier, I cannot spend all my summer there, so I rent it out on a part-time basis. It gives me joy to know that others are enjoying the island when I cannot be there to enjoy it myself. It is important to us that our renters' needs are taken care of. Since our home is local to the area, we deal with our guests directly – from key exchanges, to cleaning, to repairs, and anything in between. For your convenience, the kitchen is fully equipped... upon your request, we will email you a detailed list of equipment provided for your use during your visit.

have you ever offended your pet?
Oh dear, I have offended my cat: Jeri gets dry food, hairball treats and then wet food. She also likes a wee bit of milk in the mornings. And just now I plopped her canned food into her dibble of milk instead of on top of her dry food. Good lord. You'd think I'd killed her. She squalled like she was dying. I am certain she used naughty words at me. And then she stomped off and refused to eat it.
Have you ever offended your pet???
I'm not sure if I offend Finlay or not but there are a lot of times it's obvious I've p*issed him off due to my inability to do things "right" I don't mix food correctly, get the dry food to canned food ratio wrong, choose the wrong treat. The look I get is more along the lines of "why are you so stupid" rather than anger, but he marches off to his kennel to show me he is unimpressed. Lol
Sent from my SCH-I535 using CurlTalk App
All the time, she's very easily offended. She's very particular about touch. She will not touch certain fabrics. She doesn't like to be touched right after a bath, or on her tail and hip area. She also hates it when you talk while she's trying to sleep. She'll thump her tail at you until you shut up.
My dog is *very* docile. You can pry open his mouth and pull food/whatever he is chewing right out, and he doesn't get angry or snippy, but he looks SO offended when you do it. Just sits there with these big sad eyes looking at you like, "WHY would you DO that to me?????"
Hazel usually gets dry food in the morning and wet food at night. The times when I've left dry food out for her all day because I would be away from home for extended periods, she looks at me like I'm crazy and the food goes untouched. There have been times that I've fed her wet food at midnight for this reason.
It's hard to offend my own dogs, but I have offended my BFF's little dog. I had the hiccoughs with slight burps once when she was sitting on my lap, and she looked up at me with an expression of disgust and horror.
Poor little Pixie. I set her down after that.
Calvin is pretty easy going, but most likely it happens on a daily basis. He just ignores me. :flower:
Not that I recall. But then, my (dearly departed) cat didn't live long enough to see me watching "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."
She would have disapproved. I can just picture her withering gaze. Totally deserved.
I have to say even at her young age I have offended Jade. I got pretty disgusted and gave me a "will you shut up" look when I was on the phone while she was in my lap. She finally got up, looked back at me (cutting her eyes) and went to sleep on my bed.
When I come home after petting another dog, Sheba acts like I've been cheating on her.
Pita acted offended and looked at me with disgust pretty much every day for 11 years. I just loved that about her. : )
My Beethoven gets upset and sulks if I call him a "bad dog".
We keep Kimi away from the food dish when we feed our two kitties so that Mojo has a chance to eat without Kimi pushing him out of the way and eating everything.
She looks so put out when we do that. Get's this wide eyed look that just says - "I thought you LOVED me! YOU TRAITOR!"
So.... yeah. Mojo's pretty hard to offend and I don't think I'd notice if I did - he always has this peeved expression because of how his eyes are shaped.
Oh Gawd yes.
My tom is very laid back. If and when I happen to offend him his eyes get huge, he gives me a look of total shock and dismay (why you do that?) and runs.
His sister is hell on wheels, but thats why I love her. She is offended by his existence and sometimes mine. She stomps around, huffs and puffs, growls, hisses, screeches... All that good stuff. If I give her the wrong food or stop petting her too soon, she lets me know about it. When she is really mad she threatens to slap me. That doesn't go over well. Lol. She is a fuzzy toddler.
I can't stand it when their feelings are actually hurt or they are upset, though. They will have nothing to do with me for 2 weeks after a move. :(
Now my moms cat, which is my cats sister, takes the cake. She will rub up against your legs, look up at you lovingly, and hiss. She has some wires crossed, but she is hysterical.
Yup. If I'm petting my dog Linda and I just stop, she turns around and stares at me until I get the hint. Otherwise she leaves. Or if I don't pet her first thing when we wake up everyday, she looks at me like I've personally offended her. And my parrot starts screaming if I'm in the kitchen getting food and I don't offer her any -__- and my beloved Coco (tragically taken from me by a hit and run driver) who would growl at me when I would attempt to take him out of my mom's bed. - RIP
I used to have 5 dogs and a parrot, the stories go on and on :)
I'm sure I have before with a cat I lived with for a while(brother's cat) but reading these stories make me smile. So cute. I love cats' personalities.
2 Attachment(s)
My cat lives at my parents house. I always sing to her (in the tune of Akon's whose that girl) "who's that caaaat up, up in the house, up up in the house.." she was sleeping today and looked right at me with her ears bent back and went to the basement and sat at the bottom of the stairs until I coaxed her back. She sat with me, but was not happy about it:
Attachment 30444
Now she is sitting right on my leg sucking up
Attachment 30445
It's hilarious.
I've pissed her off on purpose because it amuses me to get smacked by a cat.
^ Narnia, yep she looks offended to no end. hahaha.

The present invention relates generally to exercise devices of the type worn in wrapped relation around the wrist of the exerciser and prepared with a select number of weights, and more particularly to improvements for confining the weights against inadvertent release from their storage compartments in the body of the exercise device during an exercise routine and despite the exercising movements.
It is already well known, as exemplified by the prior U.S. Pat. No. 3,924,851 issued on Dec. 9, 1975 to Herbert Winston, that exercising versatility in a wrist-worn exercise device or band can result from providing compartments for selectively inserting or removing weights to correspondingly increase or reduce the physical effort required of the exerciser in performing the exercise routine. Care, however, must be exercised in preventing the inadvertent release of the weights being used in the band during the movements of the exercise routine. In the Winston U.S. Pat. No. 3,924,851, a flap is used in folded relation over the openings of the weight-receiving compartments and inserted in an interposed position between the band and the wrist to achieve this result. While the use of the closure flap as noted obviates inadvertent release of the weights, it requires removal of the band in order to make an adjustment in the number of the weights.
Broadly, it is an object of the present invention to overcome the foregoing and other shortcomings of the prior art. More particularly, it is an object to securely contain the exercise weights, while permitting ready access, preparatory to adjusting the number, to the weights, and specifically enabling this weight adjustment without removal of the exercise band.
In accordance with the present invention, the weights in individual compartments are interposed between front and rear body panels which are firmly attached to each other by stitching applied to confronting opposite side and bottom edges. The attachment of the panels to each other is completed by cooperating hook and loop strips such as the type offered under the VELCRO trademark along the remaining upper confronting panel edges and additionally serve as an easily opened and closed closure providing ready access to the weights-receiving compartments for adjusting the number of weights being used, without having to remove the exercise band to make the weights adjustment.
The description of the invention which follows, together with the accompanying drawings should not be construed as limiting the invention to the example shown and described, because those skilled in the art to which this invention appertains will be able to devise other forms thereof within the ambit of the appended claims.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the within inventive wrist exercise device showing how weights are added or removed preparatory to the exercising use thereof;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the device in position on a user's wrist;
FIG. 3 is an unassembled perspective view of the components of the device;
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line 4--4 of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a plan view of the device;
FIG. 6 is a front elevational view;
FIG. 7 is a rear elevational view;
FIG. 8 is a bottom view;
FIGS. 9 and 10 are enlarged scale sectional views respectively taken along lines 9--9 and 10--10 of FIG. 6; and
FIG. 11 is a partial sectional view taken along lines 11--11 of FIG. 6.
Device 10, as functionally shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a weight pocket side, i.e. outer side 12, and a padded side, i.e. inner side 14. Weights 16 can be added or removed as the user desires, by inserting into or removing the weights from individual pockets 18 provided along the inner surface of side 12. Weights 16 preferably are 1/2" diameter, about 251/4" long and weigh 2 ounces each. Access to individual weight-receiving pockets 18 is through an opening between separating edges 20, 22 which when not separated are adapted to be held together by a cooperating VELCRO loop strip 24 and VELCRO hook strip 26. When device 10 is prepared and ready for use in an exercise routine, the user utilizes web strap 28 to secure device 10 about his or her wrist as shown in FIG. 2.
Device 10 is fabricated of the components best seen in FIG. 3. rear body panel 30, approximately 451/4"�1153/4", is cut from laminated stock that is made of a layer of foam plastic 32 that has a fabric layer 34 adhered to each face. The VELCRO hook closure strip 24 is stitched along an upper edge on the lip 20 of panel 30. A second sub-assembly is prepared by sewing VELCRO loop strip 58 to strap 28. Pockets 18 are formed starting with a fabric strip 36 that is 451/4"�24" and of heavy denier yarn. The inboard end of strap 28 is appropriately located at the center of strip 36 and secured thereon with reinforcing strip 52 along a pair of vertical seams 60. VELCRO loop strip 58 on strap 28 and hook strip 38 define a pair of strap means which are used to encircle the wrist, as shown in FIG. 2, in an overlapping relation such that the diameter of a created loop exerts an inwardly-directed force through the weight-receiving compartments, thus assisting with the maintenance of the weights in the compartments. Alternatively, the strap means pair may be defined by a pair of extending flaps in the nature of flap 28. Strip 36 is then sewn to VELCRO hook strip 38 and folded as in a pleated or undulated fashion as best illustrated schematically in FIG. 4. While strip 36 is in its folded condition, a first piping strip 40 is sewn along the side edge 42, top edge 44 and opposite side edge 46. During the sewing of piping strip 40 along top edge 44, an upper end 50 of reinforcing strip 52 is included within the piping seam, as at 48. The VELCRO loop closure strip 26 that cooperates with VELCRO hook strip 24 on the rear panel 30 is sewn on the folded pocket strip 36. The assembly of front panel 54 to rear panel 30 is provided with sixteen vertically oriented spaced seams 56, six pairs of which, as best seen in FIG. 7, are used to define the individual weight-receiving compartments 18 between adjacent seams 56. Assembly 54 is further reinforcingly stitched to panel 30 by the remaining vertical seams 56, including reinforcing the attachment of reinforcing strip 52 and strap 28 which already has been stitched in place with seams 60.
A second piping strip 62 is next sewn about the entire periphery of panel 30 by a seam 53, excluding, however, upper edge 22 of front panel 54 so that there remains between the confronting edges 20 and 22 of respectively rear panel 30 and front panel 54 an opening into a weight compartment between rear panel 30 and the inner or facing surface of front panel 54 in which compartment are located the individual weight-receiving compartments 18. Seam 53 and piping 62 are arranged when they are applied to include the lower end 66 of the reinforcing strip 52 and the bottom edge 64 of the front panel assembly 54.
When in use the device 10 is loaded with a predetermined number of weights 16 according to the exercise routine. By separating the edges 20 and 22 the user can easily remove or replace weights 16 very quickly and close the device 10 by pressing VELCRO closure strips 24 and 26 against each other. The VELCRO closure 24, 26 for the weights 16 also supplements the attaching seams 54 in completing the attachment to each other of the rear and front panels 30 and 54.
While the construction of the exercise device for practicing the within inventive containment of the exercise weights herein shown and disclosed in detail is fully capable of attaining the objects and providing the advantages hereinbefore stated, it is to be understood that it is merely illustrative of the presently preferred embodiment of the invention and that no limitations are intended to the detail of construction or design herein shown other than as defined in the appended claims.

What is it for?
Lots of people experience jerkiness when playing video on a computer, this has to do with the way video frames are presented, smoothvideo tries to fix this by syncing the video to the refreshrate of the monitor.
It's like the reclock directshow filter, only much better.
How does it work?
Usually video is referenced to the system clock, but with a little magic a clock can be made with information from the videocard, this makes sure every frame is presented right after a vblank. Also because the clock can now be controlled, the speed can be changed a little so the fps of the video playing matches the refreshrate.
What about audio?
Audio has to stay in sync, this can either be done by resampling, skipping/duplicating packets, or adjusting the clock if it gets out of sync too far.
Resampling has the advantage that the speed of the video can be changed considerably, so 24 fps can be sped up to 25 fps to play at PAL speed.
The disadvantage of resampling is that it doesn't work with passthrough, and there is a slight loss of audio quality.
Skipping/duplicating audiopackets has no loss of audio quality, but the speed of the video can only be changed a little to avoid doing a skip/duplication too often, most of the time it's inaudible, but it can produce a very audible click.
Adjusting the clock has the best audioquality, but some extra video jitter can occur, also the speed of the video can't change much, as the audio will sync the clock more often the more the speed of the video is changed.
How do I turn it on?
Under Settings->Videos->Player there are several new options:
- Sync playback to display
Turn this on and the magic happens, a thread will start that makes a clock from the vertical blank.
- A/V Sync method
You can set this to Audio Clock, Video Clock(resample audio) or Video Clock(Drop/Dupe Audio)
Resample audio does not work when passthrough is selected.
- Resample quality
Quality of the resampler, goes from low to really high, the default is medium which should be fine for anyone. The higher the quality of the resampler, the more cpu it will use. You can look at the resampler types at libsamplerate
- Maximum Resample Amount (%)
The maximum percentage the speed of the video can be changed to fit the refreshrate, the default is 5% to allow cinema to PAL speedup (24 to 25 fps, 4%), this is only available when resampling (a small speed change will still happen without resampling).
What about the adjust refreshrate option?
That's something different, it will automatically set the refreshrate which is best matched with the video that is playing, but it is a good combination with the vblank clock.
How do I know it's working?
Turn on debug logging, turn on Sync playback to display and start a video, then search the debug log for CVideoReferenceClock.
Mine looks like this (on ubuntu with the binary nvidia driver):
Quote:21:09:39 T:2874137488 M:1382379520 DEBUG: CVideoReferenceClock: Setting up GLX
21:09:39 T:2874137488 M:1379201024 DEBUG: CVideoReferenceClock: output of nvidia-settings -nt -q RefreshRate 2>&1: 59.89 Hz
21:09:39 T:2874137488 M:1379201024 DEBUG: CVideoReferenceClock: Detected refreshrate by nvidia-settings: 59.890000 hertz, rounding to 60 hertz
21:09:39 T:2865744784 M:1379323904 DEBUG: CVideoReferenceClock: Clock speed 100.100000%
Here I'm playing a 29.97 fps video on a monitor with a 60 hertz refreshrate, the speed of the clock is increased by 0.1% so the video wil play at exactly 30 fps.
The rounding of the refreshrate from 59.89 to 60 hertz does NOT matter. Why? because of the automatic change in clock speed.
Now press 'o' while playing to bring up the codec information, if the vblank clock is running it will show "VBlanks missed:" with a number next to it, that number shows how many updates the vblank clock has missed, this can either be because the update was too late or it missed a vblank completely and it's waiting for the next vblank.
This is not especially bad, because the render thread will update the clock instead. However if that number increases really fast it can mean the clock is not running at all or it's missing a lot of vblanks, in which case you might get some strange pitch effects when resampling and even jerky video.
If you get a like like this in the debug log:
Quote:CVideoReferenceClock: Setup failed, falling back to QueryPerformanceCounter
It means it couldn't set up the clock and it uses the systemclock instead, the lines containing CVideoReferenceClock above it will usually explain what went wrong.
Known issues
Some videos don't provide correct fps information, so they'll play jerky anyway.
Crashes in linux with the binary ati driver.
On windows the detected refreshrate might be wrong, to fix this you can turn on measurerefreshrate in Advancedsettings.xml.

I had forgotten about John Tague getting hit too.
Part 2 of Lee Harvey Oswald's 91/38 rifle, bullets and shots fired.
Oswalds first try at assassination. Part 2 of 3.
Oswald, at this point of his life, was standing on street corners handing out leaflets for support of Cuba and the American Communist party. After a breaking in period, Oswald, on April 10, 1963, was alleged to use his new rifle in an attempt to assassinate Major General Edwin Walker, whose views were opposite Oswalds. Oswald was outside of the Generals home and attempted to shoot the General through his window, the bullet struck the window pane at the Generals house and was deflected. The bullet fragmented and the pieces that were recovered, some of which struck the Maj. General, were not large enough to be used for ballistic tests.
After the failed assassination attempt, Lee continued to try to gain support for the Communist Party. He also tried to move to Cuba. None of his efforts paid off for him. He moved to New Orleans for a time, then moved back to Dallas. Lee got a job at the Texas School Book Depository through a friend of his wife.
Ammo and practice.
Somewhere Oswald got a box or two of cartridges for his rifle. He used Western Cartridge Company 160 grain, round nose, full metal copper jacket, lead core bullets. It has been said, on some weekends Oswald would borrow a car from the woman that secured his job at the School Book Depository. He would then go off and practice shooting the rifle and handgun in a deserted scrub area.
Many people also observed Oswald sitting on his front porch dry firing the rifle to practice shooting it.
The Facts surrounding the shots fired.
The Government concluded through the Warren Commission Report, on November 22, 1963 at 12:30 pm that Lee Harvey Oswald shot and killed President John F. Kennedy, shot and wounded Texas Governor John Connelly, and wounded a bystander, John Tague, who was watching the Presidential Motorcade. He shot them from the 6th floor window of the Texas School Book Depository. The President and Governor were riding in an open topped convertible Lincoln Limo traveling approximately 11 MPH down Elm Street in Dealy Plaza, Dallas Texas.
Two shots hit JFK. One entered his upper back and exited his neck. The other was a head shot entering the back of his skull and exiting the front right of his skull. The second shot resulted in the death of President Kennedy.
Governor Connelly was also shot in the back. The bullet entered his back and skidded along a rib. This created a stress fracture of the rib near the spinal column. Yawing along the rib allowed it to go around his lung without puncturing it with the bullet. It exited the front of the rib near Connellys sternum. The fracture of the front of the rib caused bone fragments to pierce his lung and it collapsed. The bullet went out through his chest and fractured his right wrist. The bullet then entered Connellys leg creating a superficial wound in his upper thigh. Governor Connelly recovered from his wounds.
John Tague was an onlooker hit by bullet fragments and was slightly wounded in the face.
The rifles discovery.
After the shooting, Dallas Police entered the Texas School Book Depository and searched for the shooter. Dallas Police officer Marrion Baker and Depository supervisor Roy Truly came upon Oswald in a second floor lunchroom. The police officer asked the supervisor if Lee worked there. When told yes they moved off. Oswald then left the building.
Shortly after that Deputy Sheriff Luke Mooney searched the 6th floor. He found the snipers nest left by Oswald. He also found three spent shell casings lying by the window Oswald had used.
Just after the snipers nest was found Deputy Sheriff Eugene Boone and Deputy Constable Seymour Weitzman searched further and found the Carcano rifle in the North West corner of the 6th floor hidden between some boxes. The police were unfamiliar with this type of rifle and originally thought it was a 7.65 Mauser. Again its been said the rifle was originally chambered for 7.65 and re-barreled to 6.5 but, I see no evidence of this. Later this rifle was found to have Lee Harvey Oswalds handprint on it.
The bullets and the cases.
There were three empty cases found in the Texas School Book Depository by the police. The cases had matching marks from the rifles extractor on them. When examined the rifle had one unfired round in the en-bloc clip inside the box magazine. All 4 cases were from the same lot. I find it strange that the clip holds 6 rounds in it but only 4 were found.
The most plausible explanation for this is that Lee Oswald decided to shoot the president on the spur of the moment. He had been target shooting with his original two boxes of ammo. He only had 4 rounds left from those boxes, and he simply did not have enough time to find more ammo for a 6.5 Carcano rifle.
After the shooting there was one fired bullet recovered in almost intact condition. It was slightly deformed, had lands markings on it, and had lost some of its lead core out of the base of the bullet. This is the so called Magic Bullet that supposedly went through Kennedy and then Connelly and was found on the gurney that the Governor had been carried into the hospital on.
The Secret Service recovered copper bullet fragments from the floor of the presidential limousine that amounted to about 2/3 the weight of a 6.5 bullet.
Lead fragments were recovered from both Kennedys and Connellys wounds.
Lead fragments were also left in The Presidents body and in Governor Connellys body.
One bullet was thought to have been a total miss. But the evidence points to the fact that the bullet that went through Kennedy's neck hit the trim on the limo and tumbled away. This bullet was never recovered.
Small fragments hit bystander John Tague in the face and could have been bullet or curb particles.
The misconceptions of the bullet wounds.
I believe some theories were put forward to cover up the possibility of a second shooter. I do not believe there was a second shooter. But at the time some of the politicians doing the inquiry into the shooting wanted to leave no possibility of it. The following is what the politicians would like everyone to believe. This is what was presented to the Warren Commission. It is NOT what the evidence tells.
Remember some believe that the first shot was a miss. Some believe that the second shot or the third shot was a miss. Lets just go with the assumption that the first shot was a miss.
The first shot was considered a total miss that hit the curb on the opposite side of Dealy Plaza. This ricocheted off the curb leaving a channel in the asphalt. The bullet was thought to have disintegrated with some of the fragments hitting bystander, John Tague in the face. These only caused small wounds.
The second shot fired went through the Presidents neck. It entered from the Presidents back just below the neck to the right of the center of the middle of the neck. This bullet traveled in a downward angle. It exited the Presidents neck in the front, below his Adams apple. It created an exit hole just below the top button on JFKs shirt and nicked the left side of the knot in his tie. On the Zapruder film the actual shot contact is not seen because the Limo was behind a road sign at that moment. However, as the Limo is seen coming from behind the sign, the President is clearly holding his neck.
This shot is thought to have been the Magic Bullet that went through Kennedys neck, Governor Connellys chest, then striking and fracturing Connellys wrist, coming to rest in his leg. The bullet was found on the gurney that the Governor was carried into the Hospital on.
The third shot is the infamous one from frame 313 of the Zapruder film. JFK is hit in the back of the skull and his head is blown open. This bullet disintegrates into three large fragments, with many smaller ones. One fragment hits the front window of the Limo causing a star type fracture of the front windshield. There is generally no dispute between the factions about this shot other than if it was made from the front and side (the grassy knoll) or the back (Oswald).
This is the story politicians presented to the Warren Commission and expected the American public to believe. One has to remember that this was politicians and not Homicide Investigators.
Coming up Part 3 the final chapter.

From your article: The police were unfamiliar with this type of rifle and originally thought it was a 7.65 Mauser. Again it's been said the rifle was originally chambered for 7.65 and re-barreled to 6.5 but, I see no evidence of this. Later this rifle was found to have Lee Harvey Oswald's handprint on it.
The rifle was in fact a Italian Manlicher Carcarno which came in 6.5 mm caliber. Many were chambered in 7.35 mm later in the war I believe. It was a rough rifle and some say a little dangerous to shoot. There were tales of the firing pin coming back out of the center of the bolt and injuring shooters if you had a primer blowout or cartridge base failure.
I actually used one for deer hunting during my term in the Air Force in upper michigan. Mine was the 7.35 mm version. Never could hit anything with that rifle. They sold for about $10-25 bucks back then by mail order and came with a supply of jacketed ammo.

Front brakes warped, steering wheel vibration upon braking
Hi Guys,
I'm having this issue with my 2008 550i since last July.
I went to my local dealer back in July 2011 to have to brakes looked at for squeeking and noise (no vibration). They ended up replacing the front pads.
Since then, after about a month or 2 of normal driving, a vibration in the steering wheel will be noticed upon braking from ~45-30 mph. Took it back to the dealer and they replace the rotors and pads. 2 month later again, same vibration. Took it back again and they checked for the hub to see if it's true and it was, so they replaced the rotor and pads again. ~2 months later, vibration is back.
My car is there now for the 3rd or 4th time and they said they cannot warranty my brakes because they see discoloration on the rotors as if it's been over heated. My driving is pretty normal (probably more on the conservative side if anything) and I do not track the car.
Has anyone encountered this situation? What can I do to convince them that this is BMW's responsibility?

New member with question
I have a new home with hydronic in floor heat. It would appear that I have a zone problem .... I think one of the in floor tubes were crushed at the time the concrete was placed. Has anyone had this problem and how was it fixed?
Thx. I live in Alberta Canada and the weather is getting colder and having the heat working would be nice.
I am not sure how new home warranties are in Canada, but, in the U.S., you have at least one year to get anything fixed that does not work. If it is a crushed line, that means digging up the concrete and repairing the line. Since they are run in a serpentine manner, you will have a problem finding where the bad spot is unless it is leaking there and rises up in the floor.
Check out what your installation was. You may be lucky if they put in a parallel system for the unforseen. - It is commonly done in Europe and maybe in Canada.

The city of Rockland has received work maps for proposed new flood zones.
It's part of research the federal emergency management agency has had in the works since 2009 across the nation.
Rockland city officials want to make sure the right steps are being taken for the future.
It's been 1989 since official flood zones have been determined in Rockland.
"The city of Rockland has received work maps for the proposed new flood zones. We're very pleased that we're able to have new maps. The thing is, we'd really like the maps to be right," said John Root, Rockland's Code Enforcement Officer.
FEMA received a congressional request in 2009 to update coastal hazard data.
"As a result of that, the agency took on this huge feat to update 100 percent of the nation's populated coastlines," said FEMA Region One Senior Engineer, Kerry Bogdan.
Rockland Code Enforcement Officer John Root says findings from a consulting engineer show a big difference in old and new maps. He says these flood insurance rate maps could have a big impact on properties.
"A structure has to be elevated so that the lowest structural member is one foot above the base flood. And, elevated on posts and columns, so the water will run underneath it. If they have mortgages, they may see an increase in their insurance rates. If they did do renovations, they would have to, at that point, elevate the building," said Root.
One question the city has for FEMA is if they're considering the breakwater. FEMA says the contractors they've hired to research the area have included the breakwater in their field surveys. They factor in waves offshore, and then come up with those starting water conditions.
"Then we need to propagate that on shore, so, things that may have changed since the previously effective map that would influence the way that that wave tracks with the shoreline, such as, if there's been any erosion that's taken place, or, if someone's built a new structure, like sea wall, as well as if there's been a change in development," said Bogdan.
The maps Rockland has now are rough drafts. Preliminary maps are expected next year, and the official, digital maps should be completed in 2015.
"When the preliminary maps come out, we will notify all the property owners that are effected by this, and I certainly hope that everyone pays attention, and realizes that they are going to be effected in some way, and we will be sure to let them know how we will be effected," said Root.

I just happen to come across Rocket Mass Heaters on You Tube and it seems like a really cool idea. I wonder if I could do something like this in a small building. This is basically building a stove out of dirt This would be great as I have been deciding how to build my blacksmith shop behind my garage under the old horse lean too (stable) . I have a crap load of wood to burn but I don't want to use it in the house. That is what my coal is for. This also might be pretty cool to heat water tanks with like a boiler system and use radiators in the Garage and upstairs of the garage that I am turning into an apt.
Anyone heard of these? My ground is clay just a few feet down. Just search You tube for Rocket Mass heater.

You did not say what you want the list to be. Do you want the 3
words, or do you want the 13 characters in the string?
If you want a list of words so the result is {"Hi", "every", "one!"}
then you can use Mathematica's powerful commands for reading text
from a "stream." An input stream is usually a file on disk, but it
can be a string too. StringToStream[] makes a string into a stream,
so you can use the stream command ReadList[] on it.
Try this:
In[1]:= s = StringToStream["Hi every one!"] (* make it a stream *)
Out[1]= InputStream[String, 3]
In[2]:= ReadList[s, Word] (* read every word from the stream *)
Out[2]= {Hi, every, one!}
In[3]:= Close[s] (* I am finished with this stream *)
Out[3]= String
To control how Mathematica partitions the string into words, read
about the WordSeparators option for ReadList.

I want to start fish oil, and joint supplements.
Any recommendations? My doxie mix is 16 lbs.
I want to start fish oil, and joint supplements.
Any recommendations? My doxie mix is 16 lbs.
I give my dogs fish oil and vitamin E. You need to give the vitamin E every other day if you give the fish oil to replace the vitamin E the dogs body uses up to utilize the fish oil. Fish oil is given on a daily basis.
I am thinking about joint supplements as my two little ones are now over 5 years of age ... just not sure what kind or dose yet.
I also give fish oil and vit e. Those are the only supplements though. If you're feeding a high quality food you shouldn't need to be supplementing much, if anything.
Our dogs get fish oil, vitamin E, and probiotics.
Fish oil daily, vitamin E 3 days a week...plus a Kongful of yogurt and applesauce every weekday.
Edit: yes, human-grade fish oil and vitamin E. She's a little more than 40 pounds and we give her one fish pill and one vit E pill.
Biscuity goodness, CGC.
I give 1/2 a capsule of human grade 1000mg fish oil daily to my 20 pound dogs. They get 1/2 capsule of 400IU human grade vitamin E three times a week. I also give them 1 tablespoon of canned pumpkin ( not pie filling) twice a week for fiber. I do this as it is good for them and one of my dogs needs the fiber for his anal gland issues.
I was going to edit my previous post to tell you this but was not certain you would see it.
Probiotics: 1/4 tsp per cup of food
Wild Salmon Oil: 1 oil capsule per dog every other day
I actually just got the vit. E so I don't have a proper dosage for them yet.
Probiotics/enzymes (I like Vetri Mega Probiotics and Wholistic Pet Digest All Plus)
sometimes Wholistic Pet salmon oil
My Cavaliers also sometimes get a heart healthy supplement (Cardio Strength, Bio Cardio, Heartwise)
They are eating Fromm Beef Frittata atm topped with Fromm and NV canned foods.
Mom to 4 Hukids, and 5 Furkids
Stella Agnes (Blenheim Cavalier)...RIP my special girl! (2001-2013),
Hazel Louise (Black & Tan Cavalier),
Laverne Marie (Ruby Cavalier),
Rupert William (Blenheim Cavalier),
Lucy Mae (Poodle/Brittany/Chihuahua mix),
Desi Ray (Shih-Poo)...RIP my Boobala! (2003-2011),
Princess Di (Tortoise Shell cat),
Smokey Jo (Black American Shorthair cat)...RIP little one! (1990-2012)
Both dogs human grade fish oil liquid in their dinners. Old, arthritic, dog also gets some pure equine MSM in hers. I don't supplement old dog with glucosamine because I give her an Adequan shot every three weeks...that is more effective that oral glucosamine.
This is what it is: http://www.petnaturals.com/vitamins_...pport-dogs.php
I've just started using it a couple of weeks ago, but so far I like it! For the ingredients, the price is very reasonable too.
Murph gets salmon oil *or sardine*, and a powdered multi vitamin, trace minerals, and a powder that is supposed to help detox all the crap out of his system.
Nothing. I did buy a jar of coconut oil to have around but haven't been giving it to him.
Brit & Jackson (and Lola too!)
Andy gets coconut oil since he's allergic to fish, and I plan to start him on probiotics and joint supplements pretty soon.
"The Dandy Man"
+1 on Adequan, amazing stuff. If your dog improves on joint supplements but you think he can do better try it.
Max gets human quality joint supplements, vitamin E and some minerals to support his raw diet. He gets raw sardines instead of fish oil. Doesn't need a probiotic but I am keeping that in mind as he is aging.
Coconut oil is fine stuff but it isn't a substitute for fish oil. It is high in omega 6 and we feed fish oil for its omega 3.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that you can give this as a frozen treat ( outside ... it is messy) or let defrost and use as a topper on their kibble.
At what age would one want to start giving joint supplements as a preventative measure? Sydney will be 5 in May...
Sydney "Squidnog the Science Dog" (beagle x rat terrier x ACD) & Buddy "Buckles McButterbean" (Norfolk terrier x dachshund)

Mozilla has unveiled a new distributed online identity system dubbed Mozilla Persona. The new Persona project is Mozilla's latest effort to tackle online identity management by shifting the focus from individual websites to the web browser.
Mozilla has been playing with the idea of a browser-based identity manager for quite some time. In 2010 the company launched its Account Manager project, though it failed to gain much traction and was later scrapped.
More recently Mozilla has been working on Browser ID, a similar effort to move the process of managing passwords and online identities to the browser, rather than relying on any particular website's login process. The Browser ID project offers developers a means of creating a browser-based login system for their sites. The code is available through GitHub and while using it is considerably simpler than similar efforts like OAuth, Browser ID has yet to catch on with many sites.
Mozilla Persona will build on Browser ID's foundation (Browser ID will continue to be the name of the developer-facing aspect of the protocol), but add in more end user features like "an identity dashboard." As with Browser ID, Persona will face a chicken and egg problem — why bother supporting Persona when few people are using it, and why bother using it when so few sites support it?
Thus far, aside from the proposed dashboard, Mozilla's goals for Persona are only vaguely outlined. The closest Mozilla comes to giving it a concrete definition is to say that Persona will consist of "a collection of components and experiences we're designing to manage the whole of a user's online identity."
If you've got ideas or opinions about what Persona ought to offer, you can let Mozilla know your thoughts via the mailing list or through Twitter using the #browserid or #mozpersona hash-tags.
For those wondering about the old Personas, the toolbar background images that can be applied to Firefox, fear not, they remain available and Mozilla is already on the hunt for a more fitting name.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Mandie Poe
Early childhood education major from Marysville, Ohio
Mandie Poe, a sophomore from Marysville, Ohio, is embracing one of the four enduring
values that Bluffton embodies—service.
While Mandie was a student at Marysville High School, her grandmother, a cancer victim, passed away. Shortly thereafter, a friend invited Mandie to attend a meeting for an organization called Nellie's Catwalk for Kids (NC4K).
NC4K is an organization that financially and emotionally helps support families whose children have been diagnosed with pediatric cancer. The organization was founded in 2007 by then-16-year-old Nellie Krumlauf after her grandmother died. Krumlauf knew that she wanted to do something to make a difference and, after doing some research, she found that pediatric cancer was the least funded of all cancer types. She intended for her fashion-show fundraiser for pediatric cancer to be a one-time thing. But today, NC4K is recognized as a national organization and has helped hundreds of families.
After attending the meeting with her friend, Mandie decided to join the cause. She became secretary of her school's NC4K chapter and eventually worked her way up to co-president. Now, she is ready to start her own chapter of NC4K here at Bluffton.
Earlier this year, Mandie teamed up with themed housing to sell T-shirts and armbands that supported NC4K. Together, they were able to raise more than $1,000. After receiving the donation, Krumlauf contacted Mandie to express her gratitude. She also asked the Bluffton cheerleader to be a college branch manager for the organization.
Along with Ryan Erwin, a sophomore from Raymond, Ohio, Mandie has taken the project head-on. With the acceptance of Krumlauf's offer, they are responsible for conducting four awareness events and two big fundraisers annually. Mandie has been brainstorming fundraising ideas such as a powder-puff football game and a 3-on-3 basketball tournament. She is open to other ideas and says she would love as much involvement from students, faculty and staff as possible.
"Nellie's Catwalk for Kids is a really great organization," Mandie says. "It's a really good cause. Pediatric cancer is the least funded cancer, and this really helps bring awareness as well as monetary donations."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|These boats are extremely similar in all regards. The differences between them do not rise above the level of nit-picking. If this kind of boat fits your needs then I would advise you to buy whichever seems the better value in terms of price, condition, location, whatever.
Comparing 3 boats I have found...
So I am always poking around the Sailboat Listings site and various others just in case something comes up and I can join the spend all my money on a boat fraternity. So I have found a few boats that I would like folks' opinions on. All are very similiar in condition, cost, and what they come with so I am looking for info on build quality, sailing characteristics, ease of steping and unsteping the mast, etc.. So here they are;
Still not sure if I want to go with a 22 footer or wait and just get a 25 foot or so, but my "need" for my own boat may just throw me over the edge.
Thanks in advance!

Blue Mountain Pinot Noir 2010, Okanagan Valley $24.90
It takes guts to charge up to $60 for a B.C. pinot noir, but some wineries try – even though the one challenge facing many wines made here is that they're priced considerably higher than equivalent imports. Unlike most others, Blue Mountain keeps it prices "competitive on the international market," says Matt Mavety, its second-generation winemaker.
Blue Mountain produces two pinot noirs in each vintage: this one called the cream label, and a more complex reserve wine called the stripe label. This is what good, affordable, Burgundian-style pinot noir should be: graceful with a deep garnet colour, cherry rich flavours and hints of spice, and a medium-long finish. It's the easiest red wine to match with food – ideal to serve at picnics and weddings, and there's no better pairing with cheeses.
Will age to 2017. Half bottles (375 ml) are also available in private wine shops.
