Target: Arizona legislature
Goal: Prevent organizations from giving away live animals as prizes
In Arizona, as well as many other states, it is currently legal to give away a live animal as a prize for winning a game or contest. Fish, rabbits, turtles, and other small creatures are handed to children and adults for throwing a ball through a hoop or successfully bobbing for apples. The animals are intended to excite the winners as well as encourage others to attend the fair or carnival.
While a bunny or small turtle seems like a great contest prize, there is a dark side to delivering animals as rewards. To begin, the animals often are not well cared-for. They are stored in tiny cages, boxes, and water bowls until they are shoved into the arms of a game winner. The animals do not have adequate food and water, and many are quite sickly. Animals received at fairs often perish a few days or weeks after returning to the winner's household.
Furthermore, many times these creatures are not wanted. Children bring home fish, rabbits, turtles, and birds that parents cannot or will not care for. The creatures are then abandoned out in the harsh Arizona desert or simply flushed down the toilet.
These animals deserve better. They should not have to suffer and perish to drive up attendance at fairs and carnivals. Thankfully, Arizona State Representative John Kavanagh has a plan to stop this cruel practice. He recently proposed a bill that, if passed, would make it illegal to give an animal as a prize. If the bill does become law, violators will be forced to spend up to 30 days in jail and pay a $500 fine.
Urge Arizona's legislature to support this bill and end the practice of giving animals as prizes.
Dear Arizona Legislature,
Representative Kavanagh recently proposed a bill that, if passed, would end the practice of giving away live animals as prizes at state fairs and carnivals. I urge you to support the this bill.
While receiving an animal as a prize seems innocuous, the practice is actually quite cruel. The animals, usually fish, turtles, and rabbits, are kept in tiny, unsanitary conditions with little food and water. They are small and sickly and, when finally given away, usually perish very quickly.
Furthermore, many people who attend carnivals in your state do not want an animal as a prize. They do not have the time or money to care for another living creature. Because of this, many people release the animals they receive into the harsh Arizona desert or simply flush them down the toilet.
These animals deserve better. They should not have to suffer and die just to drive up attendance at fairs and carnivals. Please support Representative Kavanagh's bill and forbid the gifting of animals in your state.
Thank you.

Q:will this work on a fuel line with a mechanical fuel pump, or is the pressure not high enough
1 answer
A:Hi Greek, I'm glad to assist you. The SUR & R Auto Parts Fuel Line Check Valve for 3/8" Lines (Part No. SRRCKV7) will not work with a mechanical fuel pump. A mechanical fuel pump generally draws/pulls fuel from the fuel tank. This Fuel Line Check Valve will not open up if the fuel is being drawn/pulled down line. These are designed to be used with fuel injected vehicles where the fuel pump is in the tank and the pressure is generated from the other side/in the tank, in turn opening the check valve.
Q:for clarification, will this product work in a diesel fuel supply line that is 3/8 inch inner diameter rubber hose to a 8.3 liter Cummins diesel engine?
1 answer
A:Hi Sarge, the SUR & R Auto Parts Fuel Line Check Valve for 3/8" Lines (Part No. SRRCKV7) fits GM and Chrysler applications.

Skin Disorders in Older Adults: Vascular, Lymphatic, and Purpuric Dermatitides, Part 1
Skin Disorders in Older Adults: Vascular, Lymphatic, and Purpuric Dermatitides, Part 1
Linked Articles
All elements of the skin are affected by age. In this 2-part article, I will discuss how the blood vessels, the lymphatics, and the ground substance—which surrounds these vessels—respond to age, and I will show how the aging elements of the vasculature can engender a variety of pathological cutaneous conditions.
Here I focus on solar purpura, benign pigmented purpura, cherry angiomas, venous lakes, varicose veins, and spider telangiectasia. In Part 2, I will discuss elephantiasis nostrum verrucosa, lipodermatosclerosis, atrophie blanche, pyogenic granuloma, giant cell arteritis, and leukocytoclastic vasculitis.
Figure 1 – Solar purpura on this elderly woman's forearm appears in various stages of resolution. As the patches and macules resolve, they fade to lighter shades of purple, rather than the brown color characteristic of other ecchymoses.
Solar purpura is common in older adults, particularly elderly white men and women. It results from sun-induced damage to the connective tissue of the dermis and is also referred to as actinic, or senile, purpura.
The purpuric lesions are usually found on the extensor surfaces of the forearms and the dorsa of the hands at sites of minor trauma; the lesions do not extend onto the fingers. Solar purpura can also occur on the neck.
Clinically, solar purpura manifests as patches and macules that are usually purple and irregularly shaped and range in size from 3 mm to 5 cm (Figure 1). The lesions commonly occur on a background of dermatoheliosis, which manifests as lichenification, stellate white pseudoscars, and sallow skin color.
Depending on the duration of the lesion, some are more deeply purple than others. Unlike other ecchymoses, which evolve into brown patches, solar purpura tends to fade to fainter shades of purple, although residual brown pigmentation may persist. The lesions typically resolve over 1 to 3 weeks.
The pigmented purpuric dermatoses include the following conditions:
• Eczematid-like purpura of Doucas and Kapetanakis (purpura with scale on the surface) (Figure 2).
• Purpura annularis telangiectodes (Majocchi disease, or purpura with associated telangiectasia) (Figure 3).
• Lichen aureus (golden purpura) (Figure 4).
• Schamberg disease (progressive pigmented dermatosis) (Figure 5).
• Itching purpura of Loewenthal.
• Pigmented purpuric lichenoid dermatosis of Gougerot and Blum.
Many consider itching purpura and eczematid-like purpura to be variants of Schamberg disease.
Figure 2 – Eczematid-like purpura of Doucas and Kapetanakis, seen here on an elderly man's legs, can be distinguished from other benign pigmented purpuric dermatoses by the presence of scale.
Figure 3 – The rash on this woman's arm is typical of Majocchi disease (purpura annularis telangiectodes).
Figure 4 – Lichen aureus (golden purpura) is one of the benign pigmented purpuric dermatoses.
Figure 5 – Petechiae on this elderly man's legs are characteristic of Schamberg disease, which usually affects the lower extremities.

Jack McKeon rolled back into town doing things the way he always does: His way.
He reminded Florida Marlins fans and the South Florida media before his first game back in the dugout that he's not a "miracle worker." That phrase alone -- and the way it was seized on and kept popping up in reports of his return as manager -- speaks volumes about the task he faces.
McKeon has turned around struggling teams before but his first day on the job Monday was instructive of the perception problem the Marlins face.
Take McKeon's first lineup, for example. The omission of struggling shortstop Hanley Ramirez was a more significant statement than the "miracle worker" comment. But what did it mean?
In the context of a team on a 2-20 crash, burn and run the old manager out of town run, the perceived meanings skewed to the negative.
Ramirez was late for McKeon's first team meeting, according to one of the initial reports after the lineup was posted. The interpretation: Way to put your foot down, Jack.
McKeon and Ramirez said after Monday's game that the benching -- that seemed to be a more popular term than "resting" -- had nothing to do with the time of the shortstop's arrival.
McKeon told the Miami Herald he didn't like the way Ramirez ran the bases over the weekend, games McKeon watched on television from his North Carolina home.
Aha, there it is -- lack of hustle, dogging it. Remember when Fredi Gonzalez -- the fired-in-2010 Fredi Gonzalez -- benched Ramirez for just that reason? This guy's got a history -- must be why he's sitting. Way to put your foot down, Jack.
But Ramirez also has been dealing with a bad back, a strained muscle that left him unable to tie his shoes in early June and prompted a disabled list stint that ended less than a week before McKeon took over.
So, there's more than one potential interpretation of not running well, not to mention why the team's centerpiece offensive player is hitting .200.
Ramirez is in tonight's lineup, an announcement made after Monday's 2-1 loss to the Angels (some things obviously don't change immediately). Other than that, McKeon didn't have much to report after the loss other than "a little more life in the dugout."
This could be a long, arduous task, pulling a team out of last place in a division currently dominated by the Philadelphia Phillies (13 games ahead of Florida) and with the Atlanta Braves every bit worthy of their current standing as NL wild card.
And Marlins management isn't exactly noted for patience. This makes four managers in two years -- five if you count one-day fill-in Brandon Hyde -- for a team owner Jeffrey Loria has proclaimed playoff material both of the past two springs. Among Loria's victims are Joe Girardi, who later won a World Series with the Yankees, and Fredi Gonzalez, who Atlanta deemed worthy of succeeding Bobby Cox.
Ownership has been skewered regularly and recently from all directions, compared unflatteringly with George Steinbrenner and accused of fleecing taxpayers in a deal for a new stadium that open next year.
That stadium merely adds to the immediacy of the Marlins actions. McKeon's return generated plenty of buzz, but is an 80-year-old the high-profile guy the Marlins will want as a focus of a new chapter in franchise history -- even if he reprises his 2003 miracle run to a World Series championship?
Ramirez, the one guy on the $57.6 million payroll with a commitment beyond 2013, has some tarnish to remove. Josh Johnson, the team's pitching version of Ramirez from a talent standpoint, is locked up through 2013 but is on the disabled list with shoulder issues.
The Marlins continue a history of developing young talent. First baseman Gaby Sanchez, pitcher Anibal Sanchez and outfielders Mike Stanton and Logan Morrison could be future stars. Revenue from the new stadium could provide ownership with a means of refuting the perception it won't spend to keep players.
The potential is immense. The work to be done is pretty significant, too.
The Marlins just need to figure out what kind of miracle worker they need.

3. I want to become a fashion designer someday...I want to be congratulated on the ramp..after my team shows off all the dresses and accessories designed by me...its a dream from my childhood...but I'm not sure if I could ever make it true..since I am a software professional now.
4. I have often dreamt of spaceshuttles, satellites,star orbiters in my childhood dreams...things mostly related to NASA ...but I was not interested to know much about them..made me scared sometimes why did I see them in my dreams.
5. If you do not know me..and I am in your company..I maynot speak a single word..and there will be only silence..but if you know me..and I feel comfortable to speak...I will tell you all about me..and you maynot get a chance to speak. I am really peculiar I guess.

Papri, they are 5 brilliant things about you and I am proud that you have shared them with me. You are a top friend although I don't believe I can tag 5 others to tell them 5 things about myself. I don't have enough "close friendships" on here to do it. I love the NASA dreams, I have just bought a DVD set about the shuttle which I intend watching soon. Thanks Papri
I don't know a lot about it however I did see the launch of Juno (see avatar pic) last year from the kennedy space centre. The whole NASA experience was awesome and I have loved it since. Just a pity the space programme is in decline now.
Aww, dear... Only thing I've to done now is open my heart... OK. I'll do it soon :)

text: Re: "folks realize that using the "number of hits returned on google" is a hilarious bad way to prove a point -- right?" A couple of points for the debate from the webometrics research field... The research field of webometrics uses search engines quite a lot for raw data such as hit counts and link counts, and the findings indicate that whilst there are individual anomalies, on average, hit counts tend to reflect underlying real differences. This research is summarized in two recent review chapters: Bar-Ilan, J. (2004). The Use of Web Search Engines in Information Science Research. In: Annual Review of Information Science and Technology 38 Thelwall, M., Vaughan, L. & Björneborn, L. (2005). Webometrics. In: Annual Review of Information Science and Technology 39, 81-135. However, you would probably guess that commercial search engines like Google have a significant international bias, which should be taken in to account when counting hits. But this bias is not deliberately manufactured or due to language factors, it stems from the history of the web and the way in which links are used in web crawling. See: Vaughan, L. & Thelwall, M. (2004). Search engine coverage bias: evidence and possible causes, Information Processing & Management, 40(4), 693-707. http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/~cm1993/papers/search_engine_bias_preprint.pdf Mike Thelwall Statistical Cybermetrics Research Group http://cybermetrics.wlv.ac.uk/ http://linkanalysis.wlv.ac.uk/ http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/~cm1993/mycv.html

The Danger in Your Water
Fluoride has been tied to bone cancer, lower IQs, and osteoporosis. So why is it still being added to your water?
One fall day in 2004, Lea Anne Burke got a call from a neighbor. Had she heard that the city council was talking about adding fluoride to their water supply in Snohomish, WA? For years, the northern end of town had received fluoridated water from the nearby city of Everett. But nonfluoridated water from the Pilchuck River ran through pipes on the south side of Snohomish, where Burke, her husband, and their two little girls live.
Burke, 33, is a soccer mom and vice president of the local PTA. She studied environmental science in college and learned enough about fluoride to be convinced that she didn't want it flowing from the taps in her home. She won't even let her family brush with fluoride toothpaste. So Burke joined a small group of citizens who, last year, persuaded the city council to abandon its plan to fluoridate the water. "Until it's proven safe, why do it?" asks Burke.
If you have only ever known fluoride as a champion cavity fighter that keeps your pearly whites strong, Burke's concerns may sound off the wall. After all, two-thirds of US cities and towns fluoridate water, and most US dentists agree that it prevents tooth decay. In fact, in 1999, the CDC named the fluoridation of community water one of the top 10 public health achievements of the 20th century.
Yet, controversy and doubts about its safety have dogged fluoride ever since the first US city, Grand Rapids, MI, began adding it to its water supply in 1945. And now, several reports published earlier this year have tarnished fluoride's brilliant veneer. In March, a panel of dentists, toxicologists, and epidemiologists assembled by the National Research Council (NRC) determined that the level of fluoride allowed in community drinking water in this country is too high. In a cruel irony, the panel found that children who consume water containing the highest level of fluoride permitted by the EPA might actually be damaging their teeth; there was even a hint that it might depress IQ. What's more, the panel stated that consuming water with that amount of fluoride over a lifetime could weaken bones and increase the risk of fractures. And just 2 weeks after the NRC report made headlines, a Harvard study suggested that fluoridated water could cause a rare form of bone cancer in young boys.
The two reports have helped fuel the passions of fluoridation opponents, a group made up of scientists and concerned citizens. They claim that adding fluoride to drinking water may have made sense once but is unnecessary now because it is available in other forms, such as toothpaste. Drinking the stuff, they say, exposes millions of Americans to needless health risks. "Fluoridation should be abandoned," says dentist Hardy Limeback, PhD, DDS, head of preventive dentistry at the University of Toronto and a member of the panel that wrote the NRC's fluoride report. "It could turn out to be one of the top 10 mistakes of the 21st century."
Is Fluoride Poisonous?......

As the old saying goes: in life, only three things are guaranteed – death, taxes and Bel Airs at classic car events. At least, that's how the saying goes in OUR octane-fueled world. Of course, that list is a little unfair to tri-fives because, unlike death and taxes, old school Chevys are a lot of fun. And this RKM-built sedan, with its massaged LS3, incredible aesthetics and thoroughly modern mechanicals, blends an array of custom, driver-friendly attributes into a pro-touring package that virtually anyone can enjoy!
Sure, this killer combination of green and silver wasn't on the Chevy color chart back in 1955, but it certainly looks the part on this awesome Bel Air. These cars lend themselves to classic 2-tone better than anything in the hobby, and this hardtop's remarkable combination of Jade Metallic and Mercedes-Benz Silver certainly freshens up a timeless hot rod paint scheme. Interestingly, that scheme, and the car it's sealed to, came about through quite a bit of observation and planning. For starters, this Chevy's present owner purchased a clean classic from our RK Motors Charlotte inventory page. Then he cited a second Bel Air from our sold inventory page, that he loved the appearance of. Finally, he contracted the pros at our own RKM Performance Center to combine solid metal and lofty vision into an incredible, 6-figure pro-tourer.
The build began when the car was fully disassembled, mounted to a rotisserie and completely soda-blasted of its predictable Candy Red pigment. As we assumed, all steel was solid with the exception of the hood, which was replaced by a high quality reproduction piece. After some epoxy, a bit of primer and hours of blocking, the scene was set for wet-looking PPG 2-stage. But, as you probably noticed, the car that inspired this Bel Air's paint scheme actually had a Champagne Metallic base. Well, everyone seemed to agree that Mercedes-Benz Silver was a bit fresher looking. And as for the Jade, it was lifted directly from the muse with one exception: Fab Manager Darell Johnston mixed in copious gold flake to make it REALLY pop. The build was completed in early 2016, just in time for the car's owner to enjoy a full season of cruising. And, as you can tell from our high resolution photography, the RKM Performance Center's level of expertise pretty much speaks for itself.
Despite a relatively custom appearance, this bowtie's finishing pieces look so natural they could be mistaken for factory-spec. At the front of the car, a guarded bumper rides beneath a polished grille, clear parking lamps and bright halogen headlights. At the top of that grille, a peaked hood hangs an ornate Chevrolet crest opposite smoked glass that's founded in polished stainless and cleared by electric wipers. At the base of that post greenhouse, chrome door handles and classy Bel Air emblems dodge a polished driver's mirror and traditional trim spears. And at the back of that trim, retro blue-dot tail lamps illuminate polished exhaust tips, a second Chevrolet crest and a second guarded bumper.
Glance under this Chevy's domed hood and you'll find a gorgeous Chevrolet Performance LS376/525 that's been built, polished and tweaked to 10.7 to 1 compression and a stout 525 horsepower! At the top of the block, custom cold air components funnel wind in to a proven GM throttle body, which feeds a lightweight GM intake. That air meets spark in rectangular-port L92-style heads, which hide high-rate springs under polished Holley valve covers. A nodular crank, powdered connecting rods and hypereutectic pistons compress that volatile union. A racing-inspired ASA cam maximizes intake efficiency through better breathing. Speaking of breathing, the smooth mill funnels spent gases through ceramic-coated Sanderson headers. There's a polished Be Cool radiator that's slid between a polished condenser and spry puller fans. Modern serpentine components spin a rebuilt alternator beside a GM water pump. Quality ancillaries abound, including fresh AC Delco plug wires, a proven Wilwood master cylinder and polished Eddie Motorsports hood supports. And the car's smooth, Mercedes Silver engine bay is detailed with niceties like trick dipsticks, custom fuel rail covers, a polished expansion tank and a Mercedes Silver intake shroud.
Structurally, the '55 Chevrolet is an extremely versatile platform that can accept a wide variety of enhancements. And one look under this Bel Air provides a glimpse of how major modification can make a major difference. A full Art Morrison chassis rolls on a fourth generation Corvette suspension that's supplemented with adjustable coil-over-shocks. Behind the hot small block, a 3,000 RPM stall converter kicks a GM-supplied 4L60E 4-speed, which easily torques a limited-slip differential and big, 3.73 gears. At the front of the car, aluminum control arms frame power rack-and-pinion steering. Stops come courtesy of Baer and Corvette calipers, which utilize hydroboost assist to squeeze drilled and slotted rotors. An official soundtrack is composed by $2,350 worth of custom exhaust, installed by Kooks of Statesville, North Carolina, which wraps stainless, Mandrel-bent pipes around beefy mufflers. Grip is provided by stylish Billet Specialties blades, which spin 235/40ZR18 Michelin Pilot Super Sports in front of 275/35ZR20 Michelin Pilot Super Sports. And everything, from the car's finished floors to its fresh fuel tank, is purpose-built to tackle the asphalt.
Between the doors, traditional '50s style is augmented with $16,500 worth of custom leather that was installed by Chuck's Hot Rod Interiors of Mooresville, North Carolina. The car's gray and green seats, firm buckets that were sourced from a 2011 Camaro, feature power operation for both the driver and front passenger. In front of those thrones, a leather-capped dash dresses Dakota Digital telemetry and Vintage Air Gen III climate control in bowtie-branded stainless. Below that dash, a custom, full-length console anchors a short Lokar shifter between chrome power window switches and Pioneer touchscreen audio. Beneath that island, clean Daytona Carpet floats piped and color-keyed floor mats between stylized foot pedals and thorough Dynamat insulation. Opposite that rug, a German Wool headliner frames a polished mirror and custom dome lamp. In front of the driver, a small diameter steering wheel laps a tilting Ididit column. At the sides of the passengers, custom door panels hang sculpted grabs beneath billet handles and color-keyed frames. And behind the cockpit, a custom-upholstered trunk hides a built-in battery tender beside $2,100 worth of sound equipment that includes a JL Audio amp, JL Audio speakers, a hidden antenna and a JL Audio subwoofer.

To borrow a quote from Ed Cole, former Chevrolet Chief Engineer: "We got a big kick out of designing this new Chevrolet, and you will get an even bigger one out of driving it." Fun was, and is, an inherent part of building or driving any tri-five Chevy. And, with its impressive engine, comfortable interior and relentless style, this slick '55 is sure to be a blast! If you're ready to own a classic that can truly do it all, fire up your phone, clear some garage space and claim this awesome pro-tourer!

Social media tools like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter have real benefits for designers and firms that learn to harness them.
Social media tools like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter have real benefits for designers and firms that learn to harness them.
Remember the pager? I do, but I'm pretty sure that some younger designers would laugh if I told them that I was planning on paging a colleague to set up a meeting. While many of us embraced the pager in the past, it really was a "networking tool" in the loosest sense of the term.
These days, sites like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter are the real networking tools. My friends, colleagues and clients are all "connecting" via these online networks. While I am mentoring our firm's new designers and trying to lead by example, it's also my turn to follow them and learn what they take for granted. While I'm not a luddite by any means, I can't help being at a disadvantage in terms of facility with the current standards of normal for technology and social media.
The current "norm" is that younger generations are growing up with laptops in grade school and have email addresses by the age of 6. They prefer to communicate in 140 characters or less, and they get the latest news through status updates.
The number of Facebook users has already exceeded the entire U.S. population and is rapidly becoming the most powerful social interaction tool in the world. Forget the cigarette break at work. Soon you will be taking social media breaks. What we used to forward to co-workers via email we will now share across those aforementioned social networks.
Social media is an extension to my face-to-face networking platform, and another way to build brand awareness and a dedicated following. It's long been an established fact that you should "fish where the fish are." And now that the fish are online, they won't just be clustering there to chat—they're there to know what is relevant. And you can be certain they are not mincing words or opinions.
For Conant Architects, we try to have a visible, trusted and relevant presence on various platforms. In the fall of 2010, we launched our third, full ground-up website with a singular goal: to be fully connected with our clients and community. This meant providing up-to-date news and project team collaboration through our site and links to other social media. Our web presence is no longer just a digital portfolio, but a lifeline to who we are.
Our goal is to lead our clients and followers back to the source, or in this case, our website. And it has been successful. Our site visitor traffic has increased by over 200 percent.
I believe in a focused commitment to design and client activism. Our successes, however, are hard won and never the accomplishment of just one person. Neither should the glory be a one-person secret. Getting the word out needs to happen naturally and easily. Time is precious and people need to know what we are doing by just going about their daily routine. So far, we have not found a way to have our projects appear in their bathroom mirror as they are brushing their teeth (but we're working on it).
That is our main message: We need to be where they are. Therefore we don't only use one pipeline for communication. Today, I still send out glossy photo postcards showcasing a recent project as well as a very select email message when we feel it would be appreciated. More importantly, we now travel the airwaves, wherever our clients and friends may be.
Relationships matter. What we are selling and the message we are putting out hasn't changed, but now people can respond and react to it. Intimidating maybe, but also rewarding. Our online conversations are just that—conversations. They are two-way interactions, not sales pitches. And yes, it's true that genuine transparency makes us tremendously vulnerable, but it also makes it possible to have sincere conversations and share honest concerns. Those concerns and conversations can only help us to learn what our strengths and weaknesses are, and grow from them. In the end, we're on our way to a stronger brand and team that's hyper-aware of our focus and message.
Additionally, we are finally playing on a field that has never been so level. From all corners of our industry and rungs on the ladder, we are sharing and learning. What I am particularly looking forward to is how silly our current tools will look when we think of them as we do the fax machine.
So, share that message and share your stories. Don't hesitate to send press releases or a postcard, but embrace the changes and advantages that an online presence has brought us—lightning fast promotion of your ongoing projects, immediate responses from your community and a dedicated following that shares your story with their network. Take the losses and grow from them, and please, please, put away your pager.

EGNER-L ArchivesArchiver > EGNER > 2000-04 > 0956005062
From: "Phillip Egner" <>
Subject: [EGNER] Egner:Western KY: Milton Eggner
Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2000 16:57:42 -0400
I received this information from Elvira Lewis in Marshall County KY and
thought I would pass it along for those interested.
Our first deed book burned the night of 28 Feb 1848. The first page of Book 2
records a purchase from Charles McDonald and the mortgage and agreement made
by Milton H. Eggner for two tracts of land on the Tennessee River: SW qt Sec
33 T4 R6E, 106a. fractional quarter and the NW qt Sec 4 T3 R6E, 114a.., a
fractional quarter known as the Aurora Place or landing on said River. This
place tho changed, still retains the name of Eggners Ferry.
Charles McDonald came to this area between 1830 and 1840. He was probably
b.ca 1809 and wife, Mary Thompson (?), ca 1819. They were recorded on the
1850 Calloway census, he as a merchant.
Milton (Milt) H. Eggner was born in NC, 1816, possibly Rowan Co. If so, he
was from a German family that emigrated from Switzerland. The name is often
spelled AGNER in NC records. In 1850 Milt married Sarah Ann Gray, b. 1826,
Ohio. It seems Sarah Gray had been married twice before as she had two sons,
Franklin P. Whitford, b ca 1845, and Charles (Tobe) W.T. Wright, b ca 1849.
Both Frank and CWT took the name of their new step-father. Benjamin Edward
Gray Eggner was b 3 Aug 1851 but died of scarlet fever 27 Feb 1859.
(Palestine Cem, Calloway Co) Milton and Sarah also had Henrietta M., 15 Aug
1855; Lemmon, who d. 1 Dec 1857, age ca 6 mos.; and Lyman H., b 1 Jul 1858.
Old timers remembered a girl, Ida. Finding no record to prove/disprove it, a
theory grew that she was the mulatto child, b ca 1861, to Mary Egner, black.
(1870 census) Mary married Robert Eggner on 7 Apr 1873. This family lived
for some years in and near Birmingham.
Besides the hand-oar ferry, Eggner had a stage route from Hopkinsville,
through Murray, to Columbus, KY, and a contract mail route to Paducah; Wm. M
Finley mail carrier. In 1853 Milton bought land from Ben Gray, formerly of
Logan Co., who in1840 had paid Robert Dobson a wagon and oxen, a note for
$225. in silver, and an order on J.J. Elliott for $25. in store goods, for the
160a. where Dobson lived. Dobson departed life with the deed unfinished.
The Court ordered a clear deed made for Eggner in 1860. The only living
Dobson heirs were a daughter, Lutisha (w/o W.B.Chandler) and two grand
children, Tennessee Hopkins (a widow) and Richard Dobson, only ch/o Josiah
Dobson, decd.
Eggner was a slave holder and, during the Civil War, an ardent southern
sympathizer. One story relates him removing floating Rebel bodies from the
water and burial on shore after upriver battles; Yankee bodies were pushed
around the boat, cursed and allowed to float downstream. By wars end, C.
Waldrop was tending the Eggner tavern and the ferry was leased to D.C.Savells
of Trigg Co. H.B. Spooner was running the storehouse.
Hallet Spooner was a northerner on the move: b. 11 Feb 1836 in Seneca Co, OH,
to Bennett (b 1799) & Irene Alden Spooner who moved from NY to OH in 1835.
Bennett was a War of 1812 and Mexican War veteran. Hallet graduated from OH
University, m. Matilda M. Westbrook in Dec 1859. He was principal of a
Galconda high school when he enlisted in the 131 Vol. Inf, in 1862. Mustered
out at Paducah in 1864 because of his health, they stayed in Aurora two years,
made a short stay in TN and were back in Birmingham by 1873. Moving on to
Malden, MO, they built a hotel and in later years established Spoonerville.
Hallet was descended from Benj. Spooner of Mass., soldier of the French and
Indian Wars and Sgt. under Capt. Washington in the Revolution (wife, Mary
Pierce), and Wm. Spooner (d. 1684) of the Plymouth Colony, MA.
Eggner and D.C. Salvells had disagreements almost from the beginning, one of
the first over staves being paid for before being loaded onto a boat. In
overlapping suits in Trigg and Marshall Counties in 1868, Savells reported a
most extraordinary freshit by which the fencing and the stables were washed
Daniel C. Savells was the s/o Elizabeth Rhodes and Daniel Savells who m. 17
Feb 1814 in Christian Co. Elizabeth and sons, D.C. & Miles, were charter
members/o Bethesda Methodist Church, organized 1845, in Trigg Co. D.C.s
sister, Elizabeth, m1 Alfred C. Wolfe 16 Mar 1846, and m2 Dr. Henry Wirz, from
Switzerland, who became the Major in charge of the Confederate Prison at
Raleigh, NC. The Major was executed in 1865. (For more on this see Trigg Co
Historical Articles, Vol. 2; Don Simmons)
What began as an argument over staves progressed to wrongfully and
illegally detaining a hand-oar ferry and the cost of a government license
($40.) to keep the hotel and barroom. They finally consented to arbitrate
before Enos Faughn and Judges Stephens & Holland. Stephens declined and
Holland & Faughn, upon failure of ourselves to agree called G. W. McLeod to
act as umpire. McLeods decision: 1- both suits, Trigg & Marshall, cease, no
further prosecution, 2- Eggner was entitled to the ferry boat, without
damages, 3- neither is indebted to the other. This was only the tip of the
icebergthe glacier surfaced in 1876!
Milt was a businessman. Its (usually!) smart to invest and diversify. In
Sept 1893, when Frank was trying to save his own farm from foreclosure, he
testified that Milton had been in debt over $10,000. On notes known as Street
Railway Notes. He added Eggner had compromised for about ten cents on the
dollar. Milton tried to meet his obligations, once using money owed to CWT
for carrying mail on 5 or 6 routes. To compensate for that and over six
thousand dollars more, Milton conveyed to Tobe the ferry site, both hand-oar
and steam boats and the machinery (there was a grist mill aboard the steam
ferry) and all his real estate in Marshall & Trigg Counties and Tow Head
Island in the Tennessee River; excepting only his dwelling house. The deed
was signed 30 Nov 1876.
The Eggner marriage was floundering in June 1877 Sarah sued for divorce. She
claimed her husband was worth about thirty thousand but would not provide for
her; he had removed from his old home; was in business & living in Paducah
and living in adultry with another woman. But a year later she asked that
the action be dismissed. Frank & his wife were having different problems:
Telitha J. Eggner went to court because her husband, tho a good man, is a
little reckless and not a very good financier. He was unable to provide
more than scanty support. Talitha claimed she was a mantua maker and could
support herself and the children. (Had to look that up! Mantua is a
corruption of Manteau and combined with the place name, Mantua, source of fine
silk; at first referred to gowns & petticoats of silk. She was a dressmaker!)
Telitha petitioned to be allowed to use, sell & convey property, make
contracts, sue & be sued, free from claim or debts of her husband.
A flurry of real estate conveyances, mortgages, loans, escalating claims and
suits exploded over the family. Henrietta married, 16 Jan 1878 in Cadiz,
Jesse F. Hillman. In March Milton & Sarah deeded almost everything to her.
>From this time on, no mention is made of the steam ferry. Most of the family
seems to have gone to Lenoke Co, AR, where in Sept 1884, they issued a long
statement through the Clerk at Carlisle. The creditors accused them of trying
to cloud the issues by leaving the state. Lyman, who married 4 Nov 1879,
Nancy A. Berkley, died 8 Apr 1885. (Palestine Cem) Jesse Hillman died six
months later, on 24 Oct. The Mayfield newspaper reported in Jun 1886 that
widow Hillman, who had married J. R. Burkeen four or five months ago, was
widowed again when J. R. took on overdose of morphine and opium. The
suicide occurred near Eggners Ferry. Litigation continued, especially
concerning the mortgage made to Robert McCain. The Court of Common Pleas
ordered a sale of all property in 1891, including the large two story frame
house said to have cost $6000. The order had an unusual clause: to mail as
many said posters to the adjoining and other counties as may be deemed best
for the interest of all parties. An appeal to the Court of Appeals negated
the sale but a second one was held Oct 1893. Failing to meet the creditors
claims, Franks land was included. Attorney P. Palmer, R. McCain and Milton
Eggner (d.1889) had all died. Their executors and heirs joined the suits. On
23 Dec 1893 CWT died suddenly. Frank moved to Hardin but no sooner settled
than stricken and died on 14 Jan 1894. Four days later Talitha died at home
in Hardin of nervous prostration. They left two children, Beulah and
Charles. Sarah Ann Gray Eggner lived until 1906. (Palestine) Henrietta
Eggner Hillman Burkeen lived in Cadiz several years and died at son Charlie
s in Calloway Co, 15 July 1933. (Palestine) Ettie left four living
children: Charlie (d 1959), Jesse (d 1966), Harvey H., all of Calloway, and
C.E. (d 1957) of Paducah.
The Benton Tribune of 30 Nov 1928 carried a front page story: Million Dollar
Construction Planned at Eggners Ferry. The ferry is no more, but the bridge
carrying US 68 and KY80 traffic out of the Jackson Purchase will forevermore
commemorate the family name.

San Francisco CA (SPX) Sep 12, 2008
Alcatel-Lucent has introduced the 5130 Geographic Messaging Services Platform (GMSP), a next-generation, location-driven services platform that supports the delivery of finely targeted "push" messaging, advertising and social networking services to mobile users based on their location.
The 5130 GMSP leverages unique Bell Labs innovations to dramatically increase the accuracy and timeliness of location-based services.
The platform overcomes two of the key challenges in the delivery of such services by using sophisticated techniques to reduce the capacity demands on mobile networks and the consumption of battery life in mobile devices. Developed and commercialized by Alcatel-Lucent Ventures, the 5130 GMSP leverages new patent-pending technology to deliver the most advanced "geofencing" engine available in the industry today, ensuring that messages, promotions and ads can reach subscribers at the most appropriate time and place.
Geofencing involves the establishment of a virtual "fence" around a particular location or individual.
When a mobile phone user crosses a given "fence," it triggers the delivery of an SMS text message or multimedia message that is relevant to that individual and that location, such as a promotion for a particular store, or the presence of a friend or associate in the area. Featuring innovative Bell Labs-developed algorithms, the platform is ideal for the introduction of next-generation mobile applications such as "proximity" marketing and social networking, "kid tracker," and other opt-in mobile applications developed by service providers, content suppliers and other third parties. "Location-based services have long been seen as an important potential source of revenue for service providers, advertisers and retailers alike, but to date the technology simply hasn't been available to make these services truly compelling -- as a result uptake has been slow," said Gani Nayak, vice president of Alcatel-Lucent's Messaging activities.
"The 5130 GMSP brings location-based services to an entirely new level, enabling the delivery of multimedia content that is personalized, timely and relevant, enriching the mobile Web 2.0 experience." The 5130 GMSP Platform and application suite includes:
+ 5130 GMSP Geofencing Engine: the industry's most advanced fencing engine
+ Geopepper Mobile Marketing Application, a white label service, which means it can be easily re-branded by the service or content provider, offering location-driven, mobile marketing capabilities to deliver timely information about retail businesses and promotions based on location and pre-defined end user interests
+ Geopepper Social Networking Application for carriers, a white label service that offers location-driven social networking capabilities for mobile devices, delivering targeted content and buddy alerts based on end-user location The GMSP is in trial with both mobile network operators and enterprises, including the Indianapolis Colts of the U.S. National Football League, which is currently testing the 5130 GMSP and its Geopepper social networking application as a way to extend the MyColts.net social networking community. Over the summer, the Colts leveraged Geopepper's platform to power mobile promotions at Colts events.
In the future, the Colts have plans to use Geopepper to allow fans to find each other and communicate, as well as connect more closely with the team before, during and after the football season - throughout Indiana and across the country. "There are 11 million Colts fans in the U.S., 67 percent of those fans live outside the state of Indiana," said Pat Coyle, executive director of digital business for the Indianapolis Colts.
"We are looking for ways to engage this distributed fan base, and mobile is one channel we must use strategically. We think Alcatel-Lucent's Geopepper application will add a lot of depth to our social network, www.mycolts.net, and give fans additional ways to do what they really want to do, which is to connect with each other and feel closer to the team." "With the 5130 GMSP platform and application suite, Alcatel-Lucent is addressing a key challenge faced by carriers when deploying mobile location-driven messaging," stated Phil Marshall, Senior Research Fellow, Yankee Group.
"Delivering targeted information to receptive 'opt-in' end users based on location is key element in successful mobile marketing. Additionally, Alcatel-Lucent has tackled difficult technical issues to enhance device battery life and address network load balancing challenges." Alcatel-Lucent's 5130 GMSP was invented by Bell Labs, commercialized within its Alcatel Lucent Ventures organization and is now part of the award-winning Messaging Suite in Alcatel-Lucent's Applications portfolio. A pre-commercial version of the 5130 GMSP won an NXTcomm Eos Award for innovation in the Wireless Mobile Technologies and Applications category at NXTcomm 2008.

Is it the best choice?
Hey everyone, so I'm planning on buying a tablet solely for the reason of reading comics and browsing the internet(comics are more important).
So right now my main choice is the Galaxy Tab 3 since I reckon the screen size will be quite good, since I tried my brother's nexus 7 and it was too small for me and my dad's iPad is too big since I do want it to be portable enough.
Resolution is quite good at 1280x800 which will probably suffice(might be wrong might be right, you tell me).
And to top it off, it has an SD slot which will come in handy if I would like to scan some of my already owned comics.
All for 300$ seems quite awesome to me but, I wanted to check with you people to see if maybe the size wouldn't be enough since I haven't tried the device for myself, or there might be just a better choice for the same price range.
Thank you in advance, Justlog.

Flowers by wire may be a mysterious term to some, but it's the most popular way to send flowers across the country or around the world, with same day delivery possible to more than 90% of people living and working in the United States and Canada, as well as service to more than 100 other countries. The name "flowers by wire" is admittedly old-fashioned. Still, the quality and convenience are cutting edge. Interestingly enough, like most great ideas, it all started in a very low-tech, high-touch way.
Flowers by wire delivery dates back more than a century. When someone wanted to send flowers to a loved one in another city, a hometown flower shop would help by contacting a trusted florist in the distant town. Many flower shops were handed down from generation to generation, and florist families had a natural network of hardworking associates they'd come to know through the years. The distant florist could deliver the flowers to the recipient quite easily. Unfortunately, this network of fellow florists was informal, and communication was cumbersome. In many cases, mail or telegraph messages had to be used to relay an order from one florist to another. Fortunately, communications improved, and florists strengthened their associations through industry groups and trade associations. Thanks to these groups, what began as an informal cooperative effort among a handful of local florists quickly became highly organized networks of many thousands of flower shops worldwide.
One such organization was Florists Telegraph Delivery, founded by fifteen forward-thinking florists in 1910. The organization grew rapidly, but its name, and the telegraph, soon became obsolete. As technology evolved, florists migrated to the telephone as a much more efficient way of exchanging orders. The association was renamed FTD, and several other flowers by wire groups took shape. Today, the best known are FTD, Teleflora, and Interflora. Each includes more than 10,000 florist members, who meet strict quality standards and adhere to professional guidelines. It's these florists that make flowers by wire possible.
Of course, flowers by wire technology has continued to improve, too. Today, the vast majority of flowers by wire orders are transferred between florists on proprietary data networks to ensure the speed, accuracy, and security of transmission. Ties among the larger and better florists have only strengthened, because they regularly fill floral orders for each other, monitor results, and maintain close professional relationships. So, the fundamental concept remains -- fresh flower arrangements individually designed and locally delivered by independent florists all working together to help their customers.
No wonder flowers continue to be one of the most convenient gift options available. Whether you're sending flowers around the world or around the block, a professional florist can handle everything. And, you can easily shop for flowers online. So, next time you want to say "thanks," "happy birthday," "get well soon," or "thinking of you," just visit your favorite flower shop. No matter what the occasion or delivery destination, a quality florist can help. Most guarantee your satisfaction. And, while they may not have a clue how to use a telegraph, they can easily send flowers by wire almost anywhere just for you.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Hi there
Since your Cardiologist has cleared you of anything heart-related, I think it is time to look into other directions. I would suggest you see an Orthopedist and have them order a MRI of the left shoulder that is causing you the pain. The shoulder pain can be radiating into your chest and your anxiety about the whole ordeal can be making your heart rate vary.
The heavy lifting you sometimes do and this 'pull' you feel make the shoulder even more so seem like the culprit.

Comments about Tama Rockstar Split-Lug Tom and Clamp:
Bought this in tandem with a 10" off ebay as add ons to my trusty 1982 Swingstar that has & still serves me extremely well. They replaced a set of roto toms. I just wanted to have a more consistent sound from the high range with a similar finish (the Swingstar is midnight blue as well). For the money, these are great little toms! I replaced the stock heads with Remo pinstripe (batter) and ebony ambassadors for the reso side. Great projection & tone, with a nice overall finish. The star-mount system is nice, but I'm going to replace the black mounts with the new Silverstar chrome finish mounts which are otherwise identicaI. I found that placing some Remo Muffl rings in these (no foam insert, just the plastic tray) gives the perfect amount of overtone control (I highly recommend these as well). And the included fast clamp single tom holder works perfectly! For a hundred clams, you just can't beat this deal. Get them before they're gone. Very highly recommended.

- Now you have a site, with nice photos to catch their attention, great copy to explain whats at your farm, how to get there, etc.
- What if its raining when you get up and you need to let folks know that its too wet to come out?
Maybe you have a new lamb in the petting zoo for which you want to talk about and show a photo.
Maybe you have a set of photos from the past weekend that youd like folks to see .
- Information has changed and pieces of the website are now inaccurate. How are changes made? What's the next step?

The leader of a gang that organised big dance parties at Tokyo's best universities where women were lured into drinking sessions and pack-raped, has been sentenced to 14 years' jail.
"You abused women as targets of your sexual desire, committing dirty and cruel crimes," Judge Nakatani told 30-year-old Shinichiro Wada when he appeared in Tokyo District Court.
Wada and 13 other members of the Super Free Club were arrested over three rapes, two of which happened within weeks of each other last year. Police say 12 more women have since come forward with new allegations, and there are thought to be many more victims.
The members of the club, originally a fraternity social society, were blue bloods attending universities whose previous graduates include Emperor Akihito and the Prime Minister, Junichiro Koizumi.
Led by Wada, they organised parties three or four nights a week at hotels in the city that were often attended by 2000 people.
"At the entrance, pretty co-eds were given VIP cards," a witness told the weekly magazine Shukan Post last year.
"These girls enjoyed special treatment. However, they were the club's targets. The VIP co-eds were invited to a VIP room and given a special cocktail, called the Spiritus, which club members made. The cocktail was filled with 96-proof vodka. Super Free Club members then took these drunken co-eds to other rooms and took turns raping them."
Another witness said that the gang targeted unworldly girls and lured many back to Wada's flat, which was also the head office of the Super Free Club.
"As far as I know, they raped someone twice a week. I guess that they raped more than 20 co-eds in April," the Shukan Post report said.
The court was told that Wada threatened club members who did not want to participate and took highly incriminating photos of others involved in the rapes.

I also think something is loose or corroded...ground, battery cable, cable under the +terminal under the hood.
But, tell him if the battery light flashes again and increases its frequency until it's on all the time, that he needs to get home right away because he's driving on battery alone.
Will check all connections over the weekend

I fixed his tail light grounding issue a few weeks ago, problem was there before and after. Wheel speed sensors don't trigger a fault code?

I'd look into fixing the alternator and getting a solid 14.0 volts before looking into the rest, since everything else mentioned will be negatively affected by a reduced output alternator.
Takes a good 10-12seconds to go from 12.5v to 14v

The easier way and proper way to troubleshoot the problem is to external recharge the battery overnight or even consider borrowing a known good battery and test it out, from there you can pin point weather the problem is the alternator or the battery, thus save you time and money.
Cheers! will come back with the findings
