100years inspiring lives of leadership and purpose.
1911-2011 | Wilfrid Laurier University | Ontario, Canada
Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier established the foundation for the values Canadians cherish, and he expressed his vision with passion, clarity and vigour. Wilfrid Laurier University's centennial year is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on how the spirit of our extraordinary namesake continues to be reflected in the lives of our faculty, staff, students and alumni. Laurier is dedicated to excellence in human development. I believe the most important benefit universities can provide to society is an educated, motivated, capable and engaged citizen who has a global perspective. Laurier's graduates have an awareness of, and the courage to embrace complexity – the world's greatest and most intricate challenges. They do so productively, and with passion, because they have the intellectual and personal tools that will enable them to succeed. In that sense, our vision is also our mission – to inspire lives of leadership and purpose. The more we can do as a university, and a society, to elevate the individual, the more we will serve the needs of future generations. As Laurier prepares to embark on its second century, I am delighted to introduce you to eight individuals who embody the qualities of our namesake. Exceptional citizens and members of the Wilfrid Laurier University family, they reflect the qualities of thousands more in our wonderful learning and personal development community.

Growing up in Mumbai, Bharati Sethi would escape life's difficulties by retreating to a pipal tree near a tiny stream. She named this special place the "crossroads" and she would later return to this memory many times throughout her seven-year struggle as a new immigrant in Canada. This stressful chapter in her life came to a close when she received her Canadian landed immigrant status.

With that newfound standing, and a dream of earning a PhD, Bharati approached Wilfrid Laurier University where a compassionate admissions officer showed her how she could leverage her Mumbai university experience and fast-track her undergraduate degree. She hasn't looked back since. Her master's thesis, Exploring Newcomer Settlement and Immigration Supports in Brantford and Brant-Haldimand and Norfolk Counties,
"I really had to struggle to be here... Laurier took a chance on me and I pay it back by promising to do the best that I can for the university and for the community." has garnered recognition in government, academic and local community circles. Bharati also received the prestigious $150,000 Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship to complete her PhD. As a core member of the newcomer task force Immigrant Settlement Transition Employment and Partnership in Brantford, Ontario, Bharati continues to be an inspiration to many local immigrants. "A lot of people ask: 'How did you manage alone?' I knew that if I stopped walking, I was never going to get there. If I kept walking I knew there was a chance for me to get there."

As a volunteer teacher in a small town in rural South Africa, Kory was both humbled and motivated by the children he met. He found a way to contribute and help people, and consequently give his life purpose. Indeed, in the process Kory gained much more than an impressive curriculum vitae – he gained experiences and an outlook that continue to inform the person he is today. Kory is pursuing graduate studies and has a strong belief in the power of education to help and change lives. His goal is to pursue his PhD in Ethical Philosophy and then eventually apply his experience and passion in university administration. "I want to stay in institutions where I can do a lot of good."

Joanna Harries comes from what she describes as "development stock." The women in her family have a deep history in, and passion for, societal work. But she was very interested in pursuing a business degree.
"Success is about recognizing an opportunity and having the guts to follow through. Laurier presented me with the opportunity and they enabled me to customize my studies so that I could pursue it." Following graduation from Wilfrid Laurier University, she worked as a successful marketing executive for a global consumer goods company for seven years. It was after attending a Laurier MBA class on competitive business models for a sustainable world that Joanna discovered the inventive development idea of encouraging big business to treat low-income populations worldwide as customers, and not just recipients of charitable aid. This wasn't finance, marketing or accounting, but it couldn't be more ideal for Joanna. As she says, "I believe in the power of this concept. I knew that I wanted to work to advance social businesses globally. Everything clicked into place." From that point on, Joanna pursued opportunities where she could apply her business skills to development. She applied for and won the prestigious Acumen Fellowship and spent a year in Mumbai. She then moved on to Endeavor Global, an

"When I was a kid I loved Dr. Seuss and one quote stuck with me: 'Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.' I still believe that. And so does everyone you meet at Laurier." REUBEN DEBOER Class of 2012 After graduating from high school, Reuben DeBoer spent two years volunteering, first across Canada and then in Bolivia, New Zealand and Australia. It could be said that by the time he came to Wilfrid Laurier University, he had very specific ideas about what he wanted to do with his life. At Laurier's Brantford campus, Reuben found in the faculty and students a unique community that enabled him to fully explore his passion for volunteerism and the environment. Among other activities, Reuben has been the Coordinator of the Laurier EcoHawks, the Assistant Sustainability Coordinator and the Associate Vice-President of Services for the Students' Union. Reuben also found faculty at Laurier who were willing to indulge his passion for helping people by offering him course credit for a 3-month volunteer project in Ghana. Focused on community water and sanitation, this project saw Reuben meeting with tribal elders, hiking up to 27 kilometres between villages and learning first-hand what it means to take a "bucket shower." "There's a community feel that you get in Africa that we've lost in Canada. Nobody knows their neighbours anymore. There's a sense of common purpose that is very stirring." Reuben looks forward to making the most of his studies and volunteer activities by leading sustainability initiatives in the public or private sector. But before then, he'd like to work on a project in Asia so that he can say he's volunteered on every continent before he's 25.

At Laurier, we live and walk in the shadows of giants. Yet there are few opportunities to pause and acknowledge the journey of those who came before us. Or to celebrate the fact that we too are casting shadows that will shape the next century of Wilfrid Laurier University and the world. Throughout 2011, we will acknowledge and celebrate both what has passed and what is to come.

You will receive first class tuition whilst surrounded by stunning mountain views. Think cross country, cappuccino, and comfort!

Perfect Winter Cross Training
Are you a downhill skier looking for something different? Perhaps enjoy the gym, hill walking, running, cycling or rowing and get the winter blues? Then read Jim's blog on how he found cross country skiing to maintain and build fitness during the winter months.
This trip gives you the opportunity to learn how to cross country ski, 'classic' style. It is accessible to all ages, and you do not have to be an 'athlete' to enjoy it. However, it is a great way to improve your fitness - at all levels!
The Ski Day
You will be on skis for most of the day, but with stops for rests, photos, with a very leisurely Italian lunch each day. We usually are on the ski tracks from around 0945 hrs, we do not start too early to allow the sun to come up and warm up the day. There may be a morning coffee stop & lunch is usually taken any time between 1230hrs and 1400hrs. We then ski for up to two hours in the afternoon depending on how everyone is feeling and of course taking into account the weather. It is a holiday and we want you to enjoy the experience!
Day 1 Arrival Geneva, Switzerland
We begin at Geneva airport where you will meet our private minibus transfer to Cogne, in Italy. The departure to Cogne will be at 1630 hrs to allow us to arrive at your Italian Albergo in time for dinner. The drive is an interesting one as it takes us along the Autoroute Blanche with views of Mont Blanc until we arrive at the world famous alpine town of Chamonix where we take the Mont Blanc tunnel to Italy. Then we take a quiet mountain road with great views as we climb steadily to Cogne. The drive takes approx. 2 hrs 15 mins. If your flight arrives earlier in the day please see our notes below under 'Getting There'. Your ski instructor will meet you at your hotel and brief you on the days ahead. They will also arrange for your hire skis and boots to be taken to your hotel
If you live locally there is the option of a reduced price without the two nights accommodation in Chamonix. Please ask for details.
Day 2 Introduction to 'cross country' and cappuccino!
Our morning will be spent fitting our skis and taking time to find our 'ski-legs'. Your instructor will take you through various exercises as a way of introducing you to the techniques needed to enjoy cross country skiing. Cogne has an excellent 'stadium' offering beautifully groomed tracks in a large flat area - no hills! We believe it is the perfect arena for learning to ski without any need for concern about 'stopping' on the first morning. We then aim to have a leisurely lunch, Italian style, which means excellent home made food and the compulsory hot chocolate and cake! The afternoon we will be relaxed about our skiing and you can choose to work more on your technique or perhaps just chill out and head back to our gorgeous hotel in the stunning Valnontey.
Day 3 Building on your skills
Cogne is an excellent venue and is where many regional and national competitions take place and where we can explore up to 80km of trails! This morning we often ski straight from the hotel door into the gorgeous Valnontey. The trails are flat or gently undulating and are a great training ground. It allows us to build on yesterday, but in a way that keeps the enjoyment factor high and the fear factor low! The valley is very famous for 'ice climbing' and you will see many ice climbers tackling the spectacular frozen waterfalls that line the valley on both sides. We return to the hotel for lunch, and then spend the afternoon cruising the trails in a leisurely fashion.
Day 4 No longer a novice!
Today we have many options and can choose between heading to the valley of Lillaz with a stop at the lovely woodland restaurant, the Sylvenoire, or heading down the valley to Epinel. Actually, there is too much to choose from and your instructor will make a decision based on where the best skiing is to be found. Another Italian lunch will be on the cards, followed by an afternoon of working it off!
Day 5 Departure Day
Today is departure day and your private minibus transfer will collect you at 0730 hrs at your hotel to take you to Geneva airport. You will arrive by 1000 hrs to allow you to catch your flights home. We have chosen a Sunday for departure to avoid Geneva week-day rush hour and to minimise any chance of traffic delays.
In Cogne we stay in the remote and beautiful Valnontey at the family run and ancient Albergo of La Barme. Think heavy stone tiles on the roof, ancient woodwork, and a tiny hamlet of old world houses. Our accommodation at La Barme is just a few km's from the town of Cogne and if you wish to stay in town at the end of your day of skiing then you simply catch the free bus back to the hotel. Or you head straight to your hotel to chill out and enjoy the jacuzzi and sauna, and a well earned aperitif. If for any reason La Barme is fully booked then we will stay in Cogne itself in one of its many hotels.
Included: The price includes half-board accommodation for 4 nights, based on two people sharing in a 2* hotel, transport between ski venues and 3 full days of instruction by a fully qualified and experienced BASI Nordic Instructor. It also includes a transfer between Geneva airport and your hotel on your arrival and departure days.
Not included: Insurance, flights, lunch and drinks, ski hire (approximately 40 Euros for the 3 days) and ski passes (approximately 24 Euros in total).
Minimum Numbers
This trip requires a minimum of 4 clients to run. We will take a maximum of 8 clients.
Getting there
For convenience we have included a transfer from Geneva airport, in Switzerland direct to Cogne. Although the local Italian airports of Milan and Turin are only a few hours away from Cogne the flights are limited in comparison to Geneva which has a huge range of airlines with daily scheduled flights at relatively low cost. Geneva is also only 2 hrs 15 mins drive to Cogne taking a beautiful route through the mountains. Our departure/pick up time from Geneva airport is scheduled for 16h30, however, once we have all the guest arrival times we may bring this forward if it suits all the other members of the group. NB: It is important that you inform us of your flight times as soon as possible after booking. If your flight arrives earlier in the day you can use the time to explore Geneva. The departure transfer will leave Cogne at approximately 7h00 in order to meet flights leaving Geneva from 11h30.
The airport is just 4 km from Geneva city centre. It is easily reached by train or by bus using the united network of public transport Unireso. You can pick up a free ticket for public transport from the machine in the baggage collection area at the Arrival level. It gives free transport for a period of 80 minutes. Only one single ticket is required to travel by train, tram, bus or boat in the area France-Vaud-Geneva. It takes only 6 minutes from/to Geneva city center by train (every 12 minutes at rush hours). All trains stop at Geneva-Cornavin station (city centre). The buses stop every 8-15 minutes at rush hours at the airport (bus stops at the Check-in level, in front of or beside the train station). Full details here.
Please note that if you are booking onto a combined Italian Ski Break and Snowshoe Long Weekend then both your transfer to and from the airport will be included in the trip price.
Left luggage lockers at Geneva
There are two left luggage facilities, both in the Railway Station which is attached to the airport building. The office beside the CFF/SBB counter takes luggage of all dimensions for a fee of CHF10 per day per item. It is open 7 days a week from 07h30 to 20h15. The automatic lockers are in front of the CFF/SBB counter and just behind the Chicorée Shop and come in 3 sizes (245mm x 420mm x 765mm / 350mm x 600mm x 770mm / 445mm x 610mm x 895mm); they are accessible from 05h00 to 23h50.The cost is from 6-9 CHF per day depending on the size.
Please ensure that you must have the appropriate insurance for your chosen activity. You must be covered for helicopter rescue, repatriation and medical costs. With regard to this requirement please be sure you have read the Insurance section in our Terms and Conditions.
Further Information
Upon booking a full list of the necessary suitable clothing will be provided. This itinerary is dependent on the weather and snow conditions at the time therefore changes to the itinerary may occur if necessary.
Previous cross country or alpine ski experience is an advantage, but not at all necessary. Your instructor will offer structured 'on snow' time for about 4-5 hours per day. We roughly break the days down to a morning skills session, then a rest, further developing travelling skills to lunch and then an afternoon session all of which is easily accompanied with a cappuccino or hot chocolate break!
Ski Rental
The cross country skiing equipment includes lightweight track fishscale classic skis (not skate skis or waxables), Salomon (or similar) boots, bindings and poles. Your instructor will collect your ski equipment, and deliver it to your hotel in Italy. We choose to hire outwith Cogne valley as the ski hire equipment is superior to that available locally. For this reason we ask you to be precise about your sizes when completing your booking form. If for any reason the boots provided are not a good fit, then there is a small hire shop in Cogne itself where you will be able to hire additional boots if really necessary. The total ski hire for the weekend is expected to be 40 Euros per person. Prices will be confirmed at the start of winter 2017. We ask that you pay this sum direct to your ski instructor on the first evening in cash Euros.
NB: Your ski equipment hire is arranged in advance. Please make note of your equipment hire on our booking form. We will need to know your height, weight, normal shoe size (you must give us your everyday shoe size and not your personal adjustment for wearing boots) and the measurement of your height up to your armpits (for ski pole hire).
Our Partners
As our niche trips such as our Italian Ski Breaks are of a specialised nature we work with our partner companies to attract sufficient clients to reach the minimum number of participants to allow these trips to go ahead, meaning you are more likely to have your chosen holiday 'guaranteed'. If you have any queries with regard to this please contact us

4 carriers control of 90 percent of wireless market, government report finds.
A government report finds that mergers and acquisitions over the past decade have left just four big carriers in control of 90 percent of the wireless market, thus making it harder for small and regional companies to compete.
A study from the Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress, also found that despite the consolidation, consumers are benefiting from better wireless coverage and prices that are half what they were in 1999. The GAO report, released Thursday, comes as the Federal Communications Commission is ramping up oversight of the wireless industry. The report says the number of cell phone subscribers in the U.S. stood at 285 million at the end of 2009, up from 3.5 million in 1989.

A BRAVE Wirral teenager had his wish of owning his very own Starlight Fun Centre granted thanks to a leading children's charity.
Thirteen-year-old Stephen Loraine from Prenton dreamed of owning the unique-robot shaped mobile entertainment unit, something that Starlight Children's Foundation – a charity for children with serious and terminal illness – was only too happy to make come true.
Shortly after Stephen was born he was diagnosed with severe cerebral palsy. He also suffers from general development delay, severe learning difficulties, visual impairment, gastro-oesophageal reflux, diabetes and epilepsy.
He is immobile and uses a manually operated wheelchair to get around but despite the challenges he faces on a daily basis, Stephen is a happy, smiley boy who brings joy to everyone he meets.
In addition to granting wishes, Starlight also offers entertainment for poorly children in hospitals and hospices.
As part of this, the charity has provided children's wards across the country with Starlight Fun Centres.
Stephen had to spend time in hospital before Christmas and during his stay he had the chance to play on one of the fun centres – which are shaped like brightly coloured robots and incorporate a Nintendo Wii console, four Nintendo DSi's, DVD/Blu-ray player, internet access and a flat screen TV.
Ever since his stay in hospital, Stephen has wished for his own mobile entertainment unit and, when he was referred to Starlight for wish, it came as no surprise that his wish was for a Starlight Fun Centre for his bedroom.
Stephen's dad Mark said: "Myself and my family can't thank Starlight enough for granting Stephen his wish as he is now able to play on the Fun Centre with the rest of his family and this is now pretty much part of his daily routine enjoying time with his brothers and sister and also his nephews.
"It has added greatly for giving him a little bit of independence as he can watch cartoons all day and night now and doesn't have to watch the soaps with his mum.
"Again from Stephan and his family a big thank you to Starlight for adding something to our son's life."

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Monday July 23rd, 2012 5:05pm
This year Connecticut Lacrosse Partners with Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Connecticut in celebration of their 25th Anniversary.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Connecticut (click here to make a donation) grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. Our goal is to raise $8,500, which is the average cost of a wish. We hope you will join as we participate in three lacrosse tournaments for boys U-11 to make a magical wish come true. Together, we can bring joy to a child with a life-threatening medical condition. The granting of a wish helps a child see that there is hope, encourages them to be strong in their battle, and brings a little happiness and light to not only the child, but to their entire family, when they need it most.
Lacrosse, more often than not, is more than "just a game". Kids all over the nation play to showcase their abilities, talents and personal traits, and through the sport they forge friendships and families that carry over off the playing field. They play for their friends, families, schools and more, but whatever the reason, they play for a cause that is greater than themselves.
Team "Make-A-Wish" will be playing for a special cause - we are looking to grant a single wish for a child with a life-threatening medical condition. Throughout this spring and summer, we will be raising funds and awareness for the Make-A-Wish foundation of Connecticut, with a minimum goal of $8,500, the average cost of a wish. We seek to bring hope, strength and joy into a child's life, so that for a moment they may forget their illness and just enjoy the simplicity of being a kid.
Andrew, a new friend to our team, plays lacrosse for Hopkins school in New Haven. He is a senior and turns 19 in May. Two years ago in March of 2010, he was diagnosed with leukemia right as his high school was starting its lacrosse season. Two months later he suffered a stroke due to an allergic reaction to his chemotherapy, losing mobility in his right leg and arm. Playing lacrosse soon became a distant reality for him.
The entire time, however, his lacrosse family stuck by him-not only the coaches and players on his high school team, but also those on his little brother's U11 team, former Hopkins lacrosse alum, coaches from other high schools, even the Yale head lacrosse coach as well as a member from the US National team. With the support of his lacrosse family, Andrew recovered from his stroke and returned to lacrosse in the spring of 2011, and continued to play into the summer. That same summer, the Make-A-Wish Foundation granted Andrew a wish so that he and his family could vacation for a week in the Bahamas. The break was well deserved, and he was able to have a week completely devoted to just relaxing and enjoying time with his family without any worry of lacrosse practice, school or his disease.
Physical medicine makes up only half the equation to curing a child's illness. The other half consists of love, kindness and friendship from friends and family, but more often than not from complete strangers who nevertheless share the same desire to put that precious smile on a child's face. Together, we can provide that second half of the equation.
Please donate today, to provide hope, strength and joy for a child so that they may continue to battle against their life-threatening condition. Together we can make a wish come true!

'March 14 Forces embrace culture of life, which can defend Lebanon'
11 May 2009 04:21 am
Prime Minister Fouad Siniora reiterated Sunday that the March 14 Forces embraced the "culture of life, which can defend Lebanon and its Arabism, rather than the culture of death meant to destroy Lebanon."
"The March 14 Forces are always looking ahead and want the [June 7] polls to be held in a democratic and healthy atmosphere," Siniora told supporters during an electoral rally in the coastal city of Sidon.
He reiterated that as of June 8 everyone has to work together, even if they had different points of view. "This is a country that accepts the other," he said.
On Saturday, Siniora said the March 14 Forces were working on rebuilding the country and the economy. "Our agenda is to build and construct, while others have a program to obstruct. Our policy is to negotiate; theirs is to deter."
He added that the cabinets he headed had achieved "the highest rate of growth in Lebanon's history to an extent that it lowered the country's debt.
"Taxes are going to the state treasury to be spent on people's needs. However, [financial] kickbacks are going to militias," Siniora said.
Democratic Gathering MP Marwan Hamadeh revealed on Sunday that the March 14 Forces were to hold a large-scale meeting "in the near future to discuss the electoral battle."
Meanwhile, elections flurry heightened over the weekend with political parties holding last-minute meetings to finalize electoral tickets or to clear up misunderstandings.
The three opposition leaders, Hizbullah's Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Speaker Nabih Berri and Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun, held late night talks on Friday.
A Hizbullah statement said talks revolved around the June 7 polls in general, and the polls in the mainly Christian southern of Jezzine in particular.
Berri and Aoun stressed that polls in Jezzine would be held in a "civilized manner" although the speaker and the FPM leader will have two separate lists running against each other. Aoun refused to include current Jezzine MP and member of Berri's Development and Liberation Parliamentary bloc Samir Azar on the FPM's ticket in Jezzine.
"The two sides stressed that these elections will not influence their comprehensive electoral alliance in other districts and vowed to make efforts with allies to increase participation and full voting for opposition lists," the statement added.
Berri and Aoun also said election results in Jezzine would not affect the unity of their parties.
The two agreed to form two separate and closed lists and promised to engage in a "civilized and democratic" electoral battle in Jezzine.
Aoun on Saturday also announced the FPM's ticket in Baabda, which includes Ali Ammar and Bilal Farhat for the Shiite seats, Naji Gharios for the Orthodox seat, Fadi al-Aawar for the Druze seat, Alain Aoun and Hikmat Dib for the Maronite seats.
On Sunday, MP Misbah Ahdab launched his electoral platform entitled "The Lebanese Number" during a rally in Tripoli
"Today I declare that Tripoli will not make concessions nor will it kneel, forget or obey orders," he said. Ahdab lashed out at the opposition and accused them of "fabricating lies."
"The concept of the obstructing third and the third republic are only lies and tricks that intend to frustrate Lebanon and its constitutional institutions, and pave the way for the establishment of the Wilayat al-Faqih," he said, in reference to the Free Patriotic Movement and Hizbullah.
"We, along with the residents of Tripoli, will fiercely defend the Special Tribunal for Lebanon," Ahdab continued.
"I am still, and will always, follow the steps of martyr Prime Minister Rafik Hariri and I did not wait for any return," he said
"We have stood side by side with [Future Movement leader MP] Saad Hariri and all the honest people within the March 14 Forces," Ahdab added.
Ahdab was excluded from the "Tripoli Solidarity List," which is an alliance between the Future Movement with former Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Economy and Trade Minister Mohammad Safadi.
Also on Sunday, Al-Jamaa al-Islamiya called on its partisans to commit to agreement with Hariri regarding the electoral alliances in Beirut and Sidon.
Hariri had discussed the upcoming Spring polls with Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea during a meeting in the latter's residence in Maarab Friday evening.
In other elections-related news, former MP Fares Boueiz announced Saturday that he would not refrain from running in the elections and thanked those who helped him "avoid entering the cage of chicks," in reference to the Free Patriotic Movement list in Kesrouan.
"We thank those who helped us avoid entering the cage of chicks and engage in a blind commitment," Boueiz told a news conference at his residence in Zouk.
Boueiz said that Aoun promised him "six times" that he would be included in the list. Boueiz added that he was later surprised to hear he hadn't been included in the Kesrouan ticket.
However, Boueiz promised that the list of "Independent Coalition Forces," in which he would be a member, would be announced in the next few days.
He did not dismiss the possibility the list might include March 14 Forces candidates in addition to independent candidates.
Meanwhile, MP Michel Murr said the Lebanese "will thwart all attempts to change the regime in Lebanon."
"We won't allow the regime to fall, government to be hindered, we won't accept any arms other than the army's, we won't accept a diminished presidency and we won't accept Bkirki and the clergy to be slandered," Murr said during a meeting with clerics from the Syriac Orthodox sect on Saturday.
"The electoral battle is between those that want to save Lebanon and those that wish to destroy it," Murr said.
"We are waging the battle for saving Lebanon today; don't let the blood of martyrs go to waste and let's keep Lebanon a homeland for all its citizens," he added.

New Disco problems
August 23 2011 at 8:52 AM
Tony J.
Got a new discovery .22 last week.I filled it to 2000 psi from my scuba tank and tried and fired three shots off the back deck. Put the rifle away, and when I looked at the gauge the next day, it appeared as though all the remaining air had leaked out. I had ordered a power adjuster and HDD from AoA, and when they arrived the next day, I installed them. The parts diagram that came w/ the parts wasn't that great, bur I had good diagrams from the Crosman website that I had printed out. All went well w/ the install,except the transfer port and seal fell out when I removed the Breech/barrel from the air tube. I thought I replaced them correctly, tapered end down and the stepped end up. The next day, I mounted a scope,filled to 2000 psi. and tried a few shots at my bullet trap. The shot were so weak the pellet barely made it to the trap. I had had the power adjuster screwed maybe half way out, so I turned it out a few more turns, same thing, very weak. I thought I must have reassembled it wrong but couldn't see how. Checked the rifle again the next day and all the air had leaked out again. ?????? Any suggestions?

Gringo Bandito Sauce Review
Gringo Bandito Hot Sauce – Gringo Bandito's label says it all; The too-cool for school hombre on the front of the bottle may look laid-back, but he's got plenty of ammo in his bandoliers to get the job done. Gringo Bandito's relatively low heat allows you to slather it with gusto on anything under the sun without later wishing you could cut your tongue out, but the sauce packs enough firepower and delicious flavor to keep your taste buds from taking a siesta. This lightweight yet zesty vinegar-based sauce sneakily turns a dull pile of eggs or a bland burrito into Cinco de Mayo of the face. There's no need to worry about problemas south of the border, as the heat comes off with a pleasant warm tingling sensation that even a dyspeptic grandmother could handle. The robust combination of habaneros, jalapenos, and chilis won't overwhelm your food, it will just make it taste a million times better.
The Gringo Bandito Hot Sauce is a surefire crowdpleaser. If you buy a bottle the following will happen:
1) It will be gone in under twenty seconds
2) You will want to hug every Mexican you see
3) Someone will attempt to break the bottle and lick the residue off the floor, glass shards be damned.
Pick up a bottle of Gringo Bandito Hot Sauce today and let the fiesta begin.

Stephen Colbert hates change, especially when it comes to his favorite newspaper, "The USA TODAY."
"That's why I'm solidly against Transformers, Shrinky Dinks and air caterpillars," he said on his Comedy Central Report Tuesday night. "Oh, don't tell me you've always felt like a butterfly trapped in a larva's body. It's unnatural!"
Colbert continued, "So, folks, I was truly upset when I heard that my favorite paper, The USA TODAY, was getting a dramatic redesign. It turns out I was worrying for nothing. Because in a digital area, where print media is struggling, USA TODAY is focusing their energy where it counts: the logo."
He took out Monday's paper. "Ladies and gentlemen, did they deliver! ... Boom! A blue circle!" He then went section-by-section, noting the fine points of each section's logo as it reflected the news of the day, including Sports' "red dot with a cowboy hat, which I'm gonna say represents the sport of Tomato Rodeo."
"Now when news breaks that's circular in nature, The USA TODAY will be all over it, folks," cracked Colbert, "whether it be about planets, tractor tires, the Wheel of Fortune, pizzas, bagels, pizza bagels or Cee Lo Green's head! Although," he added, "if SpongeBob SquarePants ever chokes on a Dorito at the Pentagon, you won't read about it in The USA TODAY."
He ended with "Bravo, USA TODAY," and joked about how circular news presentations might drive our graphics team crazy.
We're happy to report that so far, the team is alive and well. And our publisher, Larry Kramer, says the parody is "fantastic" and "great fun."

Joy Behar: 'Press in Love with [Sarah Palin]'
Joy Behar, a comedian, made an unintentionally humorous line on the September 10 edition of "The View." Behar believes that "the press is in love" with Sarah Palin. Maybe the "View" panelist holds a warped view of reality because the mainstream media has been anything but in love with the Republican vice presidential nominee. [audio excerpt here]
From the day John McCain announced her as running mate, the press has stirred up nearly every negative story it can find about Governor Palin some just internet rumors. Some attacked her family life wondering aloud if she can run a country and a family at the same time. Some ran false stories about her stance on the issues, debunked by FactCheck.org. Even from the day the news broke that Sarah Palin was to be McCain's running mate, some falsely tied her to the corrupt Alaska Republican establishment.
The absurdity did not stop there. Joy Behar acted as a pot calling a kettle black when she took the McCain campaign to task for spreading "lies." Behar took offense to a McCain ad accusing Obama of supporting sex education for kindergartners. Joy Behar ranted against the "lies" the McCain campaign put out, but she missed that sometimes she herself has issues with the truth. In the past, Behar has falsely accused the Bush "administration" of running the "swift boat" ads, and falsey claimed Vice President Cheney supports the Marriage Amendment.
In fairness to "The View," unlike MSNBC, panelist Sherri Shepherd provided some context in Palin's Iraq War is "God's will" speech. Shepherd noted that the Alaska governor actually said that if the war occurs, pray that it is God's will. Joy Behar did not understand the distinction.
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: The McCain/Palin camp has also stirred up controversy, this campaign- with this campaign ad. Check it out.
VOICE OVER: "Education Week" says Obama "hasn't made a significant mark on education," that he's "elusive" on accountability, "a staunch defender of the existing public school monopoly." Obama's one accomplishment? Legislation to teach "comprehensive sex education" to kindergartners. Learning about sex before learning to read? Barack Obama, wrong on education, wrong for your family.
SENATOR JOHN McCAIN (R-AZ): I'm John McCain and I approve this message.
GOLDBERG: Okay, can't forget that.
JOY BEHAR: That's the worst part. That's the worst part of that commercial is that he approved that message.
GOLDBERG: Right.
BEHAR: I mean, he- because he knows, that, that is a lie. The guy- Obama never passed that legislation. And what he is concerned about in that, in that particular piece of legislation was to protect children from pedophiles. And that was the truth of it. And, and, apparently lies are working better than the truth these days. But, but, but let me just finish. I think that the Obama camp, if they wanted to be as vicious as that, they should come out with an ad that says that McCain supports pedophiles. I mean, that is the level of discourse that this ad is promoting.
BEHAR: The thing about Sarah Palin is that she needs to come out, come out, come out where ever you are Sarah because we need to hear from you. Do you believe in creationism, that it should be taught in the schools? Do you believe that you should be shooting wolves from the air? Do you believe that you want to role back all of the policies of the last 50, 60 years? I'd love to have her on so that she can express herself to the American women out there because there is a lot of stuff going around. I mean, I read yesterday, I read something on the internet, right, that she had shot 40 caribou in one day. Now, I found, I checked my facts, I was on CNN last night, I checked it. It was not true. She does go out hunting caribou and she does shoot wolves from the air. She does not care about the polar bears. In fact, she's sued the Bush administration because they have said that the polar bears were endangered species and that would interrupt the drilling in Alaska. So she's not pro-animal. I think people should know that. I want to hear from her. What do you think about all of this? But she is out- she's going on Charlie Gibson. She should be all over the place defending her positions.
BEHAR: I just want to say one more thing and that is that this election is between McCain and Obama. This is not between Sarah Palin and Obama. And we've got to get off it. The press is in love with this woman. They can't get enough of her.
GOLDBERG: Yesterday we ran clips of Sarah Palin talking about tasks from God that Sherri wants to clear up.
SHERRI SHEPHERD: Yeah I, I had a little bit of a problem because I know that when you speak at a church, you tailor things to a church. And I thought that the clip was edited to, you know, I, I wasn't in agreeance with what Sarah Palin said. But she said "pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right, also for this country that our leaders, our national leaders are sending our soldiers out on a task that is from God. That is what we have to make sure that we're praying for that there is a plan and that, that is God's plan." I felt that, that's a little different from what we saw. I felt me, that she was saying if we- if we're going to do this, let's pray that it's God's will. But not saying that the war is God's will.
BEHAR: Where do you see the word "if"?
SHEPHERD: I said that, that's the way I interpreted it.
ELISABETH HASSELBECK: Hearing that full statement I would agree with that. Like if that is what it's supposed to be, let's pray that it is, coming from the right place.
GOLDBERG: Right, but so, but she also said, I thought I heard her say that the, that the war was God's plan. I thought that, that was
BEHAR: She said that national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God.
SHEPHERD: She said let's pray about that. Let's pray about that. She's not saying that it's from- that the war is God's will. I don't think that, that's what she said. Now, I can't explain the pipeline-
BEHAR: A task that is from God. Those- what part of that doesn't-
HASSELBECK: She's saying let's pray that this task is one that is-
SHEPHERD: Let's pray for his will that is-
HASSELBECK: -handled correctly.
GOLDBERG: The greatest thing about this, the greatest thing about this is it now opens up to an interpretation, everything that everybody says because, you know, when we listen to- you were smart enough to go and find out what she actually said. But we've had discussions about God, about who believes in what where we haven't been as clear. So I'm just glad to see that it's, it's sparking in our heads to say you know what? Maybe we should double check and make sure that we are, we are reporting the right thing as opposed to getting on board with everything else. That's all.


text: If those forecasts are right, that would mark "substantial progress," he said.The caveat Nice as all that sounds, Bernanke made clear that the Fed is just as prepared to maintain its current pace of bond-buying if the better economic trends don't materialize. "If you draw the conclusion that I just said that our purchases will end in the middle of next year, you've drawn the wrong conclusion," he said. "Our purchases are tied to what happens in the economy." Bernanke likened any reduction in the Fed's bond purchases to a driver letting up on a gas pedal rather than applying the brakes. The Fed could just as easily step on the gas again, he said. And he stressed that even after the Fed ends its bond purchases, it will maintain its $3.4 trillion investment portfolio, which will help keep long-term rates down. "We will be providing whatever support is necessary," Bernanke said. "If the economy does not improve along the lines that we expect, we'll provide additional support." It's business, not personal Many economists think Bernanke will step down as Fed chairman in January, when his second four-year term ends. President Barack Obama said in a television interview earlier this week that Bernanke had already served longer than planned. But Bernanke has been tight-lipped on his future. "I would like to keep the discussion on monetary policy," he said. "I don't have anything for you on my personal plans."

Have Jeep Questions? Ask a Jeep Repair Expert for Answers
Hello and welcome to just answer Jeep. I do not think that this is an alarm problem, because if it was, it would only run for about 2 seconds not 5 minutes. I believe you are experiencing either a PCM (engine computer) or crank position sensor failure. I recommend doing this: see if you can get a scan tool that will read codes connected to your Jeep. (rent one from your auto parts store if necessary). After it stalls, check to see if there are any codes related to "loss of crank signal" If there is, replace the crank shaft position sensor. If there are no codes, or the scan tool won't communicate with the PCM, then suspect a failing PCM. By the way, the only way to disable the factory alarm, is to remove the theft module, and then replace the PCM. This is because the PCM in your Jeep "knows that there is a theft module and will always look for it. If you disable the theft module, and not replace the PCM, then the Jeep will never start. Check the codes with a scan tool. This would be your next best move.
Hope this information helps, and let me know if you need more assistance with this,

A variety of wound protection options and devices are available to prevent self-trauma following injury or surgery with canine patients. This article discusses various features of these devices that should be considered by the veterinary surgeon or nurse when choosing a device for a patient.
Before thinking about the options that exist for wound protection, the clinician should try to reduce the need for these products in the first place.
Patients will normally interfere with wounds because of pain or skin tension, so the need for postoperative wound protection is greatly affected by surgical technique, suture technique and quality of analgesia. Postoperative checks should include pain assessment and medication plans should be adjusted to take this assessment into account.
Wound protection devices can be divided into various groups:
- Devices that cover or enclose the head.
- Devices that restrain the neck, preventing bending of the neck.
- Shirts or shaped covers that cover the affected area.
- Bitter sprays or self adhesive strips to make licking unpleasant.
Devices that cover or enclose the head:
'Lampshade' or Elizabethan collars were first patented in 1962 in the United States. They are probably the most effective devices for complete prevention of self trauma in dogs, but are at the same time the most unpopular with owners.
Various designs of Elizabethan collar exist and it is useful to consider the various aspects of these designs in order to choose the correct option for your patients.
- Collar diameter. This is what creates the majority of the problems. The edge of the collar should protrude beyond the end of the muzzle in order to provide protection, but this tends to create a very wide cone. This is especially noticeable in large breed dogs where the cone diameter can be impracticably large. This prevents the dog from navigating in its environment and also weakens the collar so it tends to flop around the head. Sufficient space should be left between the collar and the head to allow good ventilation and prevent panic. Some designs have been adapted to reduce the collar diameter to a practical level while still maintaining a decent air space around the head. Collars can be shortened for use with eye or facial injuries, and then strengthened with a strip of fabric tape around the external circumference.
- Peripheral vision. It is not generally appreciated that a significant part of the vision of a dog is peripheral. Collars that reduce peripheral vision should be avoided as this is likely to make things worse for the patient. Fabric construction tends to be worst in this regard, although some fabric designs have widened the cone so much that it restricts vision less. However, this does mean that very wide diameters are necessary to give protection (see 1). Some plastic collars have deliberate tints, prints or surface patterns applied in order to make them more attractive to owners, but these are again likely to restrict peripheral vision. Any unnecessary printing or patterns should be placed behind the field of view of the dog. Collars made from a clear material such as PVC or polypropylene, tend to restrict vision the least.
- Ventilation. Anecdotally the use of an Elizabethan collar can increase the risk of skin and ear infections. Several collar designs have incorporated ventilation slots or perforations to improve airflow.
- Connector tabs. All designs incorporate some type of tab (cut from the collar material), Velcro, or additional connector to complete and secure the cone shape. Tabs should be designed so that they are easy to assemble, but they should also be difficult for the dog to undo. Ideally, they should be re-usable – some tabs are easy to put together, but are very difficult to undo without breaking them. Some designs of connector are apt to break or come apart during use. Tabs and connectors should be able to withstand the collar bending or deforming without coming apart and the best incorporate some kind of integral locking mechanism that is very difficult for the dog to undo while still being easy for owners or vets to handle.
- Connection to the collar. It is useful for an Elizabethan collar to have an attachment to fit a dog's collar. One make is designed to do without this attachment but it is generally useful to have this option as it can increase the attachment security, especially in long necked dog breeds..
- Softness and impact absorption. A simple plastic cone shape is poor at absorbing impacts as the shape transmits the force with very little bending and energy absorption. 2 design improvements are available that modify the basic cone design :
- Rubber or fabric strips incorporated into the inner and outer circumference of the collars. This reduces the impact forces on the neck of the dog and also cushions the blow when they run into the back of your legs!
- Another design uses a folded angle in the cone shape, which creates a shock absorbing profile, achieving a similar effect. This also has the advantage of reducing the outer diameter of the collar significantly.
Both techniques confer a big advantage in comfort and practicality in use and make it easier for owners to accept the use of a collar.
- Structural strength. A number of fabric collars now exist of various designs. Most of these incorporate strengthening ribs to prevent the collar from being folded over easily. Some have foam inserts to provide additional strength. These designs are often more acceptable to owners, but they are much easier for a dog to push against and fold over than a plastic Elizabethan collar, especially in the larger sizes. Cleaning can also be difficult and the foam or quilted designs may have poorer ventilation than some other collars. Dogs with these collars in place should be monitored closely as they generally lack the structural strength of the plastic Elizabethan collars.
T-shirts and shaped body wraps:
These products enclose the wound area with a cover material, which is designed to be relatively easy to change while being difficult to remove by the dog. However, saliva borne bacteria can still strike through the material if licking is severe, and dogs are physically able to bite or otherwise lift off the fabric if they are sufficiently motivated. Some of these products will lose their shape and ability to stretch after washing which makes it difficult to maintain hygiene over longer wound management periods. With some hair types, you can get knots forming beneath the fabric, so grooming is important when the shirts are changed to prevent discomfort.
They are not appropriate for all body parts, but can be extremely useful to hold a dressing onto the ventral abdomen where conventional bandaging is difficult to maintain. They are much more acceptable visually than other protective devices, but because they can be less effective, should be used with care. It is worth considering their use during periods of good monitoring (e.g. during the day) with an Elizabethan collar used during the night.
Neck collars or braces:
There are a number of versions of these products on the market now. These devices are not suitable for long necked breeds such as greyhounds or whippets as their necks are flexible enough to get around the brace. Inflatable or foam 'doughnut' shapes now predominate, and these products prevent the dog reaching around to lick certain areas of the body, but their protection is relatively limited to the cranial abdomen, thorax and proximal limbs. Distal limb injuries and caudal abdominal injuries receive less protection.
These products should not be used in patients with neck pyoderma as the reduction in ventilation to the skin is likely to make the skin disease worse. Some of the inflatable designs have a poor quality design leading to lots of punctures and a great deal of dissatisfaction on owner discussion boards. They should be monitored for failure very carefully indeed, especially in the early phases of wound healing.
Anti-lick products:
These rely on a variety of bitter chemicals, either impregnated onto a self-adhesive backing strip, formulated into a spray, or directly incorporated into a bandage weave. Results are variable depending on the persistence of the patient and the relative strength of the formulation. It would not be sensible to rely purely on these products for anything other than minor wounds unless the patient is very carefully monitored. However, these products can be very useful when combined with bandaging techniques, to prevent interference with an otherwise well applied bandage. The adhesive on some makes of strip is not completely dog proof and it can be useful to further secure them with adhesive tape.
There are no peer reviewed clinical trials directly comparing the results from different products, and such a trial would be very difficult to set up. Because of the lack of evidence-based information on this subject, a vet or nurse should consider what factors are relevant to the patients and clients that they work with and choose appropriate products to suit these factors.

Clinton in Furious Shuttle between Arafat, Barak to Salvage Mideast Peace
US President Bill Clinton kept up a furious shuttle between Israeli and Palestinian leaders in Sharm el-Sheikh Monday, in a last-ditch effort to bring an end to spiraling violence and salvage the Middle East peace process.
Clinton finished up a third bilateral meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and was holding informal talks with his team, White House spokesman P.J. Crowley said.
That session followed two bilaterals with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, he said.
"This is a work in progress," Crowley told reporters. "Now we're into the meat of the issue. We came here to work on some practical steps to disengage and help stop the violence and I think we can judge that we're into the meat."
He declined to comment on the substance of the flurry of meetings.
Clinton's meetings followed a somber address at the opening of the emergency peace summit at the Egyptian Red Sea resort in which he pleaded with Barak and Arafat to break the cycle of violence.
"The future of the peoples is involved here, the future of the peace process and the stability of the region are at stake," Clinton told Arafat, Barak, summit host Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, Jordan's King Abdullah II and UN chief Kofi Annan.
"We cannot afford to fail here," he said, stressing the dangers of allowing the summit to break up without a mechanism to end the violence, rebuild trust and restart the peace process.
The visibly tired president said the two sides had to "move beyond blame" and urged his fellow leaders to be "honest and blunt" and "sober and serious" in their discussions.
"Once again, we have a situation piled high with grievance," Clinton said, referring to the deadly clashes that have wracked Israel, the West Bank and Gaza since September 28, shattering progress made over the past seven years in ending more than 50 years of Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Nearly nine hours after speaking those words and with violence flaring again in the region, foreign ministers attempting to draft a statement that would mark some progress toward a ceasefire and resumption of the peace process had failed to do so.
"I would not say they have finished their work," Crowley said after the ministers broke up for a second time with little success reported.
A senior US official said Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and her counterparts from Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Egypt and Jordan were trying to find an acceptable formula for a joint communique.
"They are in there and they are working on a piece of paper," the official said. "It's tough going, but it always is when these guys get together."
Alon Pinkas, a senior Israeli foreign ministry official, offered a bleaker assessment. "The current situation is that there is no agreement on any of the key issues."
Despite the apparent difficulties, Clinton said he would persist in his efforts to reach a ceasefire and resuscitate the moribund peace process as long as he felt the two sides could be brought to an agreement.
Crowley said the president still planned to depart Egypt around his originally scheduled time, midnight, but held out the option that Clinton could stay until about noon (1000 GMT) Tuesday if a delay was warranted -- SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (AFP)

This is incredibly off-topic...
type up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, enter
Web developers hard at work in Bristol, apparently.
The Tsar of the Blog-o-strator.
I am worried how the Sixers are afraid/unable to score inside 15 feet with Howard manning the post. They won't shoot 50% from 3 most nights.
I agree, it is risky for Orlando to double so far out.
Yeah, that's bothered me as well. It's like they don't want to be embarrassed by a shot block. The thing is, Howard gets all his blocks coming from the weak side. If you drive it right into him, he's probably more likely to foul you.
anyway, that's another reason to really punish them when howard doubles. who else is going to protect the lane?
Hopefully Orlando doesn't do a similar doubling diagram...you know where we double the ball and leave Rashard Lewis, or Courtney Lee Wide open and no one rotates to contest the shot
That's been the big adjustment we've made. Rarely have we doubled the ball. We've either gone under the screen or switched. Orlando has done a horrible job of taking advantage of Howard rolling to the hoop with a small on him, let's hope that continues.
Let me play a little coaches devil's advocate just for conversation sake.
Let's assume Orlando keeps playing this way (doubling Iguodala/ball handler) with some defensive changes based on not being complete idiots and tons of video resources.
On the double team they again trap well and force Iguodala back into a situation where he either has to jump pass or get rid of it super quick (assuming there is someone in position he can even give it to quickly.
But instead they shore up their rotations by taking away the closest pass/best case pass (Miller coming to the ball), have a defender in the paint whose responsibility is to protect the basket while being prepared to dart out on the guy being left open in the opposite corner.
Now what?
I don't like giving Sam the ball too quickly while in a diving motion at all and if I am Orlando I'll take him having to consistently catch on the move and then having to make a play/decision all night.
If the trap is good and active making a pass to Miller cutting or Willie on the opposite wing becomes dangerous with defenders close by. Again that leaves the skip pass. And by that time you are up against the clock for a shot and/or force to shoot a lot of perimeter jumpers.
That's how I would coach the trap and rotations defensively.
Anything can be beat, but I think the defense I just proposed is much tougher to beat and would require better timing, positioning and precision on the part of the offense. That puts my opponent in better position to make a mistake and that is good basketball.
That's a good point and if something like that were to happen, then DiLeo needs to rethink how he's setting up the possession. Remember, the double with Howard doesn't happen unless Sammy is the one coming up to set the pick for Iguodala. Maybe you set the screen with Thad, maybe you stop running the iso altogether. The basic premise here is that (a) orlando sticks w/ that same defensive strategy and (b) you really think you get an advantage by playing into it. If neither is true, then you avoid setting the screen w/ sammy and triggering the situation.
Personally, I'd like to see Iggy try to split the double if what you're talking about happens. Or maybe try the double screen out there and get Iggy around the corner and into the lane with Howard stuck out on the perimeter.
I'm really looking forward to this little game within a game, as well as the seeing how the Sixers handle the screens on the perimeter on the other end. Will they continue to switch?
Yep. If Iguodala gives the ball to Sam in the wrong spot, or Willie at all they are at a disadvantage. the Sixers just don't have enough offensive weapons to be a real threat if you take away the Andres.
Thad really needs to step up on offense and one of either Lou, WG, Marshall or Speights has to give them some consistent offensive punch.
A solid defense can take away 2 good weapons.
I'm not taking game 4 as proof positive that Orlando can suddenly shut down the Andres.
No doubt- but on the flip side I am less confident the other Sixers step up on the road. They have been leaning on the Andres too much- even though they have admirably stepped up.
I was expecting Thad to have a break out game at home and be a possible series changer- which did not happen except for a few key plays. Maybe he will be able to step up tonight? I want to see them back to where Thad was scoring 20 a night and a primary weapon in the half court.
Absolutely. His drives have virtually disappeared in the past two games, he seems afraid of Howard and he really can't afford to be.
While his drives have disappeared, it seems to me that his touches have disappeared, too. Especially when comparing it to those 6 or 7 straight 20+ games he had before getting hurt. I said on here before game 4 that the team needs to give him the ball on the perimeter with a spread floor and let Thad attempt to take Lewis off the dribble.
Let Sam, Theo, Donyell or whoever just go stand out of the paint to somehow pull Howard out of there, because it is not like any of the above are post up threats.
They need to run some pick and role not using dalembert...i thought one of the prettiest plays on Sunday was the dribble drive where Iggudala drew howard's attention in the paint and lobbed it to Dalembert for the jam, a similar play happened in game 1 and 3 for ratliff jams. this play works better than the pick and role because all the big has to do is dunk it...even the pass to Dalembert at the end of game 4 had me biting my nails...
It would be great if they could do some pick and roles with the guards like Orlando does....have miller set a screen on Turk...then Lee/or Alston is left to guard Iggs. And if they don't switch....Iggs and Miller can beat their man off the dribble...and then take it inside and try and get that play.
Rule question...you can't stay in the lane for 3 seconds...but can you stand out of bounds under the basket...quickly get in, establish position inbounds and catch alley oops. I don't know about you guys...but watching Evans or Sam catch the ball more than 3 feet away from the rim scares me to death
I don't think you can use out of bounds as a reset. You need to clear the lane completely in-bounds.

curing a broken heart
Can magic be used to cure a broken heart?
I don't know. I would suggest that yes, it is possible – but I'd never even try. Why? Because I know I want to love again, and I can't move past a broken heart to be able to love again by taking short-cuts.
From the age I was 30 to the age of 41 I was in a monogamous relationship with a man I still love. He broke up with me because he loved me, the relationship had problems and he decided he couldn't give me what I needed (and no, I still don't really understand).
It's still painful. But by facing the pain and not fearing it I'm not setting myself up to avoid commitment in the future, I'm not setting myself up to carry baggage into every new relationship I have.
And no, a great new relationship is no panacea. Give yourself time to mourn the lost relationship. The pain will be there until you own it, and get used to the idea of being alone. Moving on to a new relationship won't end the pain.
But do move on.
A famous Hoodoo root, the High John the Conqueror root. I've been carrying this root, 'feeding' it with my semen and hoyt's cologne, sleeping with it. I can feel it enhancing my sex appeal and personal power. Since carrying the root I've attracted a great many suitors online, beautiful young men that want me and should be out of my league.(I'm isolated on a rural farm and no car so don't get out much).
Yes, I do have from this experience one specific man I like very much, more than the rest, and I'm going to date him and hope for serious romance.
Straight men have told me it does the same for them, attracting many interested women.
There's many love spells you can cast, but I believe the High John the conqueror root is very helpful.
Hoodoo Love spells and High John the conqueror root are available at http://luckymojo.com
Of course sigil magic always works too for attracting love, Here's an article on Sigil Magic
You can scratch your sigil on a pink (for romance) or red (for sex) candle, and masturbate looking at the sigil on paper and on or over a piece of paper the sigil is drawn put your sexual fluids, visualizing your new lover – burn the sigil with your sexual fluids in the red or pink candle.
I have gotten past my lost love. It did take time, most of a year really. The distinctions of Buddhism were helpful. I wouldn't have wanted to have been cured 'instantly', the way I got over the loss is the healthiest way I believe. The pain of a broken heart is a pain of being attached to another person in a different circumstance. And ultimately it's selfish, you may interpret it as love pangs, but if you loved the other person you'd have their best interest at heart – it may be with someone else. Certainly the loving thing to do if your loved one leaves you is to give them no reason for guilt, move on – be happy.

The 'Term Appt' column shows the titles that are deemed "Term Appointments" and are to be used in those cases when you have an employee who is less than 50% effort and meets the criteria for a term appointment. The basic rules for a term appointment are a position where the offer letter clearly states they are being paid a set amount over a set time to do a specific duty. An example would be the hiring of an part time Lecturer (title code 7628) to teach HSC 101 for the Spring 2017 semester to be paid $5,000 payable in equal monthly payments from January through May. Nowhere in the offer letter should a percent effort be used although when creating the EPA you will need to determine one. The purpose of this is to allow the full amount of the agreement to be paid without the reduction for holidays that occur on other less than 50% effort positions.

The winner of 'The X Factor' says, 'Personally I've got a god-daughter and little nieces and I don't want them to see me acting crazy and naked in my music videos.'
Leona Lewis says she won't follow Miley Cyrus who popularized explicit dance twerking. Stopping by U.K.'s TV show "Daybreak", she commented that she would not twerk because it did not suit her songs' style. "I feel like my songs don't really suit twerking so it might look weird if I just started suddenly," she said.
Besides, the winner of 2006's "The X Factor" does not really approve of the sexually-explicit dance move which is not suitable for young audience. "Being sexual and in your face is not great for girls who are quite young. It depends what environment you're brought up in, but personally I've got a god-daughter and little nieces and I don't want them to see me acting crazy and naked in my music videos," Lewis said, as quoted by U.K.'s Daily Mirror.
"But then when my little god-daughter is watching videos and doing all these moves, I say to my best friend 'you need to turn that off. She shouldn't be watching that.' So it's up to the parents as well to be able to control what their children are watching. It's like, 'don't twerk, you're a six year old. Stop it,' " the 28-year-old singer added.
Lewis later suggested that performers who set the raunchy stage acts such as Cyrus and Rihanna might regret their action. "You can't blame those girls, who are being young and sometimes dumb. They're just expressing themselves how they want to. Girls are not perfect, we all make mistakes," she said.

Schools tighten security
Gregory R. Norfleet
· News · January 12, 2013
West Branch Community Schools will tighten its security starting Jan. 15, offering visitors only one unlocked door during school hours at each building.
The school district has been installing key card locks at the buildings for more than a year, and Middle School Principal Sara Oswald said enough have been installed to make the switch at all schools.
The doors will be locked from 8:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.
West Branch Middle School and West Branch High School will only have unlocked doors near their main offices; Hoover Elementary will allow access near Central Office, which is on the north side of the building.
Oswald said the school district hosts security meetings with police and sheriff officials, and that single-point access has been on the agenda for a couple of years. The change was not a direct result of the shooting deaths at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn.
But did the conversation take place sooner because of Newtown? Maybe, she said. It has been on our to-do list for a while.
The high school and Hoover Elementary got key card locks sooner primarily because of people using the gymnasiums after hours, she said. WBMS does not have a gymnasium.
Eventually, we hope to have a buzz-in system, Oswald said.
All of the unlocked entrances have camera surveillance, allowing those in the respective offices to see who is approaching.
Hoover Elementary has two unlocked doors right now, with the second near the principals office.
Elementary Principal Jess Burger said Central Office will handle sign-ins for visitors and parents picking up their children. That entrance was chosen because it is handicapped-accessible.
The nurses office is close to the south entrance of Hoover, so parents picking up sick children may make arrangements to meet someone at the south door, Burger said.
