Florentina® 400 Thread Count Print Sheet Set with Superfit Corners Florentina® 400 Thread Count Print Pillowcases (Set of 2)
Rated 4.3 out of 5�by 10 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by DoxieMamma Soft but very wrinkly after washing Love the extra depth of the fitted bottom sheet. I washed them first time & found the wrinkles a little off putting but am dealing with that situation as the feel of the cotton is very soft. I purchased the red color-very vibrant & striking.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Braceletlady Pretty sheet set The sheet set is very nice and the sale price was the clincher, plus free shipping! April 29, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by Marklw Very good quality May be a bit slick to the touch. Seems to be softening with washes. Very pretty. March 14, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5�by mtann slip sliding away The label says "100% cotton" but these sheets feel and act like taffeta. They rustle and crinkle. The top sheet and blanket slide all over and end up on the floor. They are cold. The catalog says the bottom sheet will fit snugly. Don't believe it. The elastic is too weak. I will continue to use them because I have to but will welcome the day they disintegrate. July 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by jojob these sheets rock these are the best, there is no more fighting the sheets to get them to stay on the bed i will order more June 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by lsylace Feels great, fits well on mattress I like the pattern and how it looks in my bedroom. The sheets fit well on my tempurpedic mattress, and they are smooth to sleep on. May 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Buffycali High quality sheets! Beautiful, comfortable, and durable! The colors run a little so I suggest a quick wash in cold water with 1/4 cup vinegar to set the colors before use. I should have done it myself but I was simply too excited and impatient. But really, you can hardly even tell. They are gorgeous! And very well made. I would buy them again in a heart beat February 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Cynthavl Lovely, but color runs This sheet set is lovely, the pattern beautiful and since I prefer a crisp sheet, this one is perfect. The fitted sheet is deep enough so that it does not inch its way from under the mattress corners. However, I washed the entire set twice (with an extra rinse) before I put it on the bed, and we still get the burgundy color on our night clothes. I believe this matter should be addressed with your manufacturer in India. August 9, 2013

detail from Le Salon de 1874, by Camille Cabaillot Lassalle
elcome to the ARC exhibition page. In an attempt to better assist in art education, we thought it important to tie together our work here at ARC with the work being done by so many others around the globe. Below you will find a list of ARC recommended exhibitions. This includes important exhibitions being mounted for artists of prior centuries and also those organized for our ARC Approved Artists™ and ARC Living Masters™. This list is a work in progress and we will actively add to it as our fans and artists write in to inform us of new and upcoming exhibitions that are taking place. Each exhibition below has been reviewed by our expert staff and contains material that we feel is worth seeing. Please view the links to the individual sites below for more details on specific content.
Viewing public auction presales is one of the best ways to see important works from a given period that are in private collections and are otherwise not on public view. Most if not all of these paintings are sold back into private collections and many are never put on public view again. Below are a list of some of the important upcoming and current presales.
(If the auction catalogue has not been published yet with pre-sale viewing dates, only the actual sale date is provided. The presale always takes place the immediate days leading up to the auction and the catalogue is usually published one month prior. Please stay tuned to this page for updates.)
These museums are more rare, but have the educational effect of a permanent exhibition of a given artist. There is nothing more informative about an individual's work then to see a large grouping of the artists best work in one location, as well as studies and sketches to help a viewer understand how an artist worked. These specialized museums have given to the public the ability to see a permanent exhibition on an important artist all year round.

THE very best of brass musicians will appear live in concert next month as a competitive festival expands.
Wychavon Festival of Brass, with the support of Droitwich Town Council, presents the reigning Midlands Brass Band Champions, the Jaguar Land Rover Band complete with trombone player Brett Baker, at the Norbury Theatre, Droitwich, on Saturday, March 29 from 7.30pm.
Festival organisers hope it will become an annual event featuring top bands and brass players from across the region and beyond.
This year's edition of the festival at Evesham High School will take place on the new date of Saturday, November 1 and the winners of the championship section will be invited to compete at the 2015 senior trophy competition of the British Open Championship at the Spring Festival in Blackpool.
Festival secretary, Kevin Whittaker, said: "It is sure to give an extra incentive to competitors, as the invitation will be given to the highest placed band not already competing at the Senior Trophy at the Spring Festival in Blackpool."
Tickets for the concert are £12 and available from the theatre's box office on 01905 770154 or norburytheatre.co.uk.

Jonathan Trott bagged a century but England had to settle for a third successive stalemate in their final warm-up match against Haryana.
The tourists dominated for most of the four days and jockeyed a position to push for an unlikely victory in the final session.
But in the end, their hosts held out on 133 for six in notional pursuit of 442 to win. Trott's 101 (retired out) is England's fifth century in three fixtures before the first Test against India starts on Thursday, and their likely top seven in that match have all made at least one 50 too.
Runs have been no problem, on flat pitches, but wickets have been more of a challenge - and after a mid-afternoon declaration on 254 for seven, try as they might they were unable to overhaul that trend on perhaps the least responsive surface of all.
Minor hopes were raised for a morale-boosting win with two wickets before tea and two more soon afterwards. Stuart Meaker got rid of first-innings centurion Rahul Dewan for only 13, and Samit Patel won a second lbw verdict against Sachin Rana.
Tim Bresnan, England's likeliest wicket-taker throughout, was rewarded for his hard work and patience when the adventurous Sunny Singh went after off side runs but could only edge behind - and then Abhimany Khod registered his second single-figure score of the match when he too was caught by Matt Prior, having pushed forward in defence at the Yorkshireman.
Then Nitin Saini (50) edged Monty Panesar behind on the forward defence to make it 96 for five with more than an hour remaining - but despite an overdue wicket too for Graham Onions, it transpired the opener's 84 balls of defiance had given England too much to do.
The tourists had earlier chosen to bat on longer than most expected on the final day. Trott's first-wicket stand with Nick Compton (79) ended when the latter was caught behind down the leg side off Rana.
Ian Bell came in at number three as Kevin Pietersen chose, like his captain Alastair Cook - to allow others more batting practice after his first-innings hundred. A series of scampered singles, and two direct hits, were the nearest Haryana came to breaking the partnership as both Trott and Bell narrowly survived third-umpire run-out calls.
There was then a collector's item sighting of a Trott six, hit straight off Chanderpal Saini as he moved into the 90s, and soon afterwards he completed his four-hour century from 180 balls. England then lost four wickets for the addition of 33 runs, with ducks for previously in-form pair Patel and Pietersen, before the declaration arrived.

فهذه الكلمة من المفروض أن تُكتب "رَأَيْتُ".
Yup, as far as I know.
I once heard that the colloquial Arabic of Damascus is more like the Arabic in the Qur'an than any other colloquial variety. Is there any truth to this?
In fact, eastern dialects are supposed to be closer to Qur'anic Arabic because they usually respect (and pronounce) vowel patterns and don't drop so many vowels as western dialects. But I think none of them is considered as actually closer to Qur'anic Arabic than any other because there are a lot of diversity in the lexicon as well. BTW, I've also heard that about Iraqi Arabic.

AN EXTENSION to Danny Hollands' loan spell with Swindon Town has been agreed in principle, the Advertiser understands.
Hollands initial stint with the Robins expired on Saturday but the Charlton man could well remain in Wiltshire as Town boss Paolo Di Canio thrashes out the terms of a longer stay at the County Ground.
After extending Chris Martin's time with Swindon by a further 28 days, Di Canio told www.swindontownfc.co.uk that he is close to completing a deal for Hollands.
"We don't want to say anything before the paperwork is done, but we are close to agreeing something for Danny," he said.
"He has done well for us since he has been with the club and we know what he can do.
"He has scored a couple of goals and made a big impact, so we want to see what we can do – and perhaps arrange a deal for longer than a month, but we will see what's going on."

Grass Valley makes headway on toxic problems
October 16, 2012
The city of Grass Valley has identified four areas within its jurisdiction where redevelopment would help the vitality of the municipality, but toxic substance issues continue to dog efforts to launch the improvement projects.
In 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency provided the city of Grass Valley with $400,000 in grant money to make an inventory of the properties in four areas identified as eligible of significant redevelopment.
The city then hired Converse Consultants, which presented their findings at a public meeting Thursday in Grass Valley to a modest gathering of interested parties including property owners, said Izzy Martin, CEO of the Sierra Fund, a nonprofit dedicated to environmental issues connected with the legacy of mining in the area.
"The good news is that the majority of the properties analyzed were found to have toxic issues that were negligible, which would allow for redevelopment," Martin said.
If properties are found to have outstanding accumulation of hazardous materials, attempts at redevelopment would not be approved until the materials are cleaned up, Martin said.
Some of the properties that abut Empire Mine Historic State Park were found to have toxic issues that would prevent redevelopment until a remediation effort was successfully completed, Martin said.

Many property owners were leery of undertaking the study, concerned they would be held responsible for problems that were not of their doing, but the study proves such investigations are beneficial, Martin said.
The four areas of the city analyzed in the study include Grass Valley's downtown business district, Colfax Avenue, South Auburn Street, and properties near Idaho Maryland Road.
Martin praised the city for undertaking the study, saying that redevelopment of properties existing within the city's current border prevents sprawling development while ensuring current developed areas are in proximity to emergency services.
The results of Converse Consultants study will be presented to the Grass Valley City Council at the Oct. 23 meeting, Martin said.

While supply chains for many manufacturers in the Gulf were disrupted by Hurricane Isaac, advances in online, mobile, and cloud technologies may have softened the blow.
According to Andy Berry, vice president and general manager, Global Distribution Business Unit for Infor, "Cloud" strategies gave his shippers backup protection to their "hosted" systems.
"Having cloud-based protection also provides an alternative for predictive analytics," he said. "My shippers want to see what a major storm can do their customer's inventory, too."
Infor is the third largest supplier of enterprise software behind Oracle and SAP, provides risk analytics, predictive software and logistics response SASS to reduce crises and enable rapid management strategies in the case of weather interference or other disturbances to the supply chain.
"A fully networked environment gives shippers the ability to re-route trucking deliveries," said Berry. "To the vertical industries I work with, this is a key benefit."
For seaport terminal operations, cloud-based backup is also regarded as an essential part of risk mitigation.
Robert Inchausti, Chief Technology Officer for Navis, said the "relatively low-cost" alternative is also appealing.
"Terminal operators really need a robust and scalable hosted information system," he said. "But having some or all of their data in the cloud gives them another layer of protection.
Inchausti said that the Navis terminal operating system – SPARCS N4 – is enhanced by cloud technology to improve customer training, and provide product demos, and internal integration testing.
Acts of nature, notwithstanding, the cloud can improve efficiency, he added.
"But this requires a good infrastructure," said Inchausti. "Singapore's grid, for example, might be a little more reliable than one found in an emerging nation."

Animal Care Emergency Programs envisions a nation working together to protect the public through ensuring the safety and well-being of animals during disasters. Supporting animal safety and well-being during disasters is a significant factor in ensuring the safety and well-being of people.
Animal Care's Emergency Programs
After Hurricane Katrina, Congress passed the Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards (PETS) Act and the Post-Katrina Emergency Response Act (PKEMRA) in response to public outcry about the safety and well-being of pet animals during disasters.
Roles and Responsibilities
In 2008, the National Response Framework (NRF) redefined Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) and added responsibilities for pets under the Federal ESF system. USDA-APHIS and other federal agencies provide assistance for emergency planning and response. While Federal statutes mandate that the Federal Emergency Response Agency (FEMA) has overall authority to support pet issues, additional Federal agencies, including USDA APHIS, have supporting roles defined under the NRF. FEMA and USDA APHIS look to AC to provide technical expertise in the management of pets in disasters.

Simscape™ provides an environment for modeling and simulating physical systems spanning mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and other physical domains. It provides fundamental building blocks from these domains that you can assemble into models of physical components, such as electric motors, inverting op-amps, hydraulic valves, and ratchet mechanisms. Because Simscape components use physical connections, your models match the structure of the system you are developing. Simscape models can be used to develop control systems and test system-level performance. You can extend the libraries using the MATLAB® based Simscape language, which enables text-based authoring of physical modeling components, domains, and libraries. You can parameterize your models using MATLAB variables and expressions, and design control systems for your physical system in Simulink®. To deploy your models to other simulation environments, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems, Simscape supports C-code generation.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/12/2012 (1719 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
At least a dozen of the province's top scholar-athletes have switched high schools this year to improve their chances of winning a provincial championship.
"I call it free agency, basically," said Morris Glimcher, executive director of the Manitoba High Schools Athletic Association.
Although the MHSAA has strict rules against recruiting athletes from other divisions, the athletes can easily switch schools through the province's schools of choice program.
Glimcher said some high school "free agents" played recently in the final fours of both boys and girls AAAA volleyball, though he would not identify them.
"There seems to be larger movement of students between schools, between grades 11 and 12... maybe trying to stack a team for a provincial championship.
"I'd say a good dozen kids have transferred across the city -- a good dozen, if not more," said Glimcher.
"It's across the board now, in several schools and several sports: 'Hey, we might be able to win here.' Is that right? Does that fit in schools of choice?"
Glimcher said he hears from parents whose kids have played on their local school teams right through Grade 11, then been consigned to the bench in Grade 12 or even cut when new students arrive to take starting spots.
"Is it about winning or is it about having a school community?" Glimcher asked.
MHSAA board president Scott Kwasnitza, superintendent of Lord Selkirk School Division, said the problem is getting worse every year, and the playing field is getting less and less level.
"Each year, with more and more kids jumping ship or being free agents, is that the spirit of schools of choice?" asked Kwasnitza. "There seems to be more and more of a push to win at all costs.
"A lot of the recruiting is student-to-student, possibly parent-to-parent," with a lot of the recruiting going on when top athletes from different schools play together at the club level, he said.
Because of provincial privacy rules, no one has to explain why a student switched schools, Kwasnitza said.
Senior provincial officials said that there are no limitations within the Public Schools Act on students switching schools for athletic reasons.
"Restrictions for schools of choice are limited to academics," and are based on the availability of space in the academic program in which a student from out of a catchment area wishes to enrol, said David Yeo, director of the education administration branch.
"The act talks about academic programs -- it doesn't talk about varsity sports. The form doesn't ask the student's reasons for doing so."
Availability in a specific academic program for which the student is qualified is the only criterion for the accepting school to consider.
Schools of choice was designed to allow students to move within a division, or from one division to another, without paying any fees, to access an educational program not offered at their local school. Divisions have policies that generally cap how many students can be in a class, and it's up to the principal to decide if a program can accommodate an outside student.
Interlake School Division superintendent Ross Metcalfe, a former longtime MHSAA board member, said there were fears about schools of choice's effect on athletics from the first day that Tory Education Minister Linda McIntosh introduced it in the late 1990s.
"It's for academic choices, but there are people passionate about their sport," Metcalfe said. "We all know there are schools known for their powerhouses.
"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out" that student-athletes will switch schools to try to win a championship, he said.
Glimcher said the MHSAA has had strict rules for several years that forbid schools from trying to recruit or entice top athletes to switch schools, but he acknowledged those rules are tough to enforce and violations difficult to prove.
Kwasnitza said some other provinces require students switching schools to sit out of varsity sports the first year after their move, although there are appeals allowed for legitimate transfers, such as when a family moves into the area.
Metcalfe said Interlake SD has traced students' reasons for leaving through schools of choice. Some wanted vocational programs not offered within the division. In one case, a student moved from Warren Collegiate to Westwood Collegiate to access a specific arts program offered there.
Metcalfe said he's never heard of a student switching schools to star in a major performing arts production, whereas many students have done so for varsity sports.
"What is Morris (Glimcher) to do? He can't overrule provincial legislation (governing schools of choice)," said Metcalfe. "There's always going to be that less than one per cent that wants to win at all costs."
Glimcher said a related matter is whether the province will allow elite sports academies to compete in their sport against other local high schools.
Glimcher expects basketball, volleyball and hockey academies to be established in Manitoba soon. They bring several dozen of the province's top athletes in a sport to one high school for intensive training, forming teams that would likely be stronger than other high schools'.
Shaftesbury High School has a hockey academy already, as does Balmoral Hall School. Balmoral's elite team plays girls teams of its calibre in the U.S., and its members do not play on Balmoral Hall's high school team. Shaftesbury's elite girls prep program also plays extensively in the U.S.
Glenlawn Collegiate has a soccer academy, but the students don't play for Glenlawn during the short outdoor soccer season.
"Glenlawn has been no problem whatsoever. Glenlawn, they don't compete -- they don't have the desire or the time to compete" in soccer, Glimcher said.
Elite sports academies draw students from other divisions, bringing with them per-student grants and the property taxes paid by that student's parents -- the provincial average is $11,473 per student. An academy can bring a school division close to $500,000 a year in additional funding.
Metcalfe said when Warren Collegiate established a hockey program for its own students, the division refused to run a bus into the city.
"Some things just don't seem ethically correct," said Metcalfe, and could come back to bite you if other divisions then run a bus into your town.
The other issue with sports academies is those top student-athletes are strong in other sports, too, Glimcher said. They boost the academy in all sports, while leaving their former schools' teams weaker.
"Academies bring really good athletes -- they're good athletes overall. In provincial volleyball, (Glenlawn) had four of their soccer players playing," he said.

The Nimbus Cloud Dome is a new accessory designed to help photographers take professional-looking pictures of jewellery and other small products. As a smaller version of the original Cloud Dome, the new Nimbus is a portable and durable mini-studio that eliminates harsh shadows and strong specular highlights, helping to create evenly lit product shots of shiny objects - even with a smartphone camera. "I insisted that it be usable for any cell phone with a close focus camera, which includes most newer smartphones," says co-inventor Dave Burchett. "The Nimbus Dome holds the phone steady and takes clear, non-glare, diffused photographs."
Alamy has published the results of a round table discussion on image licensing and pricing. Participants included picture buyers, photographers, journalists and commentators as well as stock image providers. The key findings from the report are that photographers are finding the current market hard, complicated pricing structures are a disincentive to first-time picture buyers, conventional licensing models are outmoded, and that technology has failed to solve the problem of unauthorised image use so a simplified system is needed.

|FYI — month 200x
|By Brad Dunn
The accidental fire that ravaged the winter storage lot at Kings Cove Marina on the Mississippi River near Hastings, Minnesota, devastated dozens of boat owners. Though no one was injured, the blaze laid waste to boats ranging in size from 28 to 41 feet and caused damages from $15,000 to hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to the local Star Tribune.
"I feel bad for the owners whose boats are involved," Laura King Spillane, co-owner of the marina, told the paper. "This is their cabin, it's their second home, they live on them all summer long, and they care for them."
As the flames roared and the fiberglass burned, many drivers on a nearby highway reportedly pulled over and watched the destruction. Because firefighters kept people out of the marina until health risks were analyzed, at presstime many owners didn't know if their boats had survived. One of them was Bill Schreiner, the commodore of the Kings Cove Yacht Club, who kept two boats at the marina.
"I'm pretty sure one of them is toast," he told the paper, singling out his 16-foot dinghy Smarty Pants as a likely victim.
Mel Kidney and his fiancée, Peg Rowe, watched the fire and feared they had lost their 41-footer, Yes Dear.
"This was my dream boat, the boat I wanted to retire in," Kidney said. To make matters worse, he remembered that to prevent fuel-tank condensation over the winter, he had filled the boat with 320 gallons of fuel. Between the flammable resins that saturate fiberglass, the tankful of fuel, and the proximity to the blaze, there seemed to be little hope for the cruiser.
Kidney, however, kept perspective: "Life is about people," he told the Star Tribune. "Boats can be replaced."
Indeed, though firefighters had not identified the person they thought accidentally started the fire, Kings Cove Marina said it has insurance that will cover the damages.

A YOUNGSTER was treated for burns in hospital after a candle left alight set fire to her bed.
The girl awoke at her home in Wellington Court, Nelson Street, Accrington, on Saturday morning to find her bed was on fire.
Along with her mum she managed to get outside and the fire service were called to deal with the fire.
The incident happened at 6am on Saturday. There were no working smoke alarms in the property.
Watch manager Tony Spencer, from Accrington fire station, said the girl had been extremely lucky.
He said: "We were alerted to it as a ground floor flat that was on fire. When we arrived everyone had got out on their own.
"The daughter had burns to her arms and stomach and the mum had suffered some smoke inhalation. It looks like the young girl had left a candle burning and she woke with her bed on fire.
"There should have been smoke alarms but they did not have them, but fortunately she woke up. It could have been a lot more serious.
"Obviously a working smoke alarm would have helped.
"We can supply working smoke alarms for free and all people need to do is ring their local fire station."
Yesterday, debris including a bed, mattress and bags of burned items from the child's bedroom could be seen outside the property.
One neighbour who lives above the blaze-affected house said: "I didn't know anything about the fire and then I saw the lights of fire engines."

County Reports First Positive Test for West Nile Virus
Fairfax County Office of Public
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
July 27, 2005
County Reports First Positive Test for West Nile Virus
Dr. Gloria Addo-Ayensu, director of the Fairfax County Health Department, announced today that a mosquito pool collected on July 21 in the Lee District of Fairfax County has tested positive for West Nile virus. This is the first positive mosquito pool identified this year and is the first indicator of West Nile virus activity in the county.
"This is a reminder to residents that West Nile virus is active in Fairfax County, and now is the time for people to protect themselves from mosquitoes by eliminating mosquito breeding areas around their neighborhoods and using insect repellents. Removing breeding sites protects everyone and reduces risk of infection for the whole community," Addo-Ayensu said.
The Health Department staff has trapped, identified and tested more than 34,000 mosquitoes in 3,000 pools so far this year. In past years positive mosquito pools were discovered much earlier in the season. "With abnormally cooler weather conditions earlier this summer, the virus has probably taken a bit longer to present itself," said County Entomologist Dr. Jorge Arias.
West Nile virus is spread to birds, humans, horses and other mammals through the bite of infected mosquitoes. Most people bitten by an infected mosquito do not get sick. However, the majority of those who do get sick usually suffer a mild flu-like illness. People over age 50 are at greatest risk of serious illness, such as encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) or meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord).
Since mid-May, the Fairfax County environmental health staff has taken a proactive approach in combating West Nile virus by treating more than 35,000 storm drains with a larvicide, which inhibits mosquito breeding. Storm drain treatments will continue for the rest of the mosquito season in targeted areas of the county. While these treatments will not eliminate all of the mosquitoes that carry the virus, the mosquito population should be dramatically reduced.
Since 2002, Fairfax County has had 17 human cases and two deaths as a result of West Nile virus. Fairfax County continues with an active outreach and education program to help inform residents about mosquito control and personal protection. In an effort to reach most of the population, mosquito control educational materials are available in English, as well as for many non-English-speaking residents.
The Fairfax County Health Department and Virginia Department of Health recommend the following tips for residents to reduce exposure to mosquitoes:
- Use insect repellent products containing DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus. (Always follow label instructions.)
- Wear long, loose, light-colored clothing.
- Turn over or remove containers in your yard where water collects, such as old tires, potted plant trays, buckets and toys.
- Fill in root-ball holes from downed trees or any depression that holds water for more than a week.
- Eliminate standing water on tarps or flat roofs.
- Clean out birdbaths and wading pools once a week.
- Clean roof gutters and downspouts regularly.

Bassett 58AP3SL 15X8 Inertia 4 on 4.25 3 Inch BS Silver Beadlock Wheel
Important Messages:
- This item ships directly from the manufacturer. It may take an additional 15 business days for Bassett to ship this item.
- This item ships via Ground Shipping only. Expedited and Air shipping options are not available.
InfoBassett's 15 x 8 spun-form beadlock wheel features the patented Inertia Advantage center. It's the only beadlock utilizing 100% spun-form shells and rings. Spun-form shells and rings are stronger, lighter and have less runout than roll-formed beadlock wheels.Another important feature of the Bassett beadlock is the stepped design of the two rings, which self-centers the tire and makes mounting a breeze. The Bassett beadlock also uses 18 high grade bolts, which clamps more consistently and prevents premature wear and air leaks. A Chrome Metal Color Finish Option is also available (Red or Blue).
The following must be considered when using Bassett wheels for on highway / street use applications when the wheel/tire assembly is being balanced. Bassett Wheels are lug centric, which means they are built off of and must be balanced using the bolt circle and NOT the wheel center hole. Improper use of a tire balancer that centers the wheel on the hub bore, not the bolt circle will result in an incorrect reading for rim runout, as the center hole is not in the perfect center of the bolt pattern. The only machine capable of performing a lug centric balance is the Hunter GSP 9700 with the flange plate bolt circle adapter and no centering cone.

The annual Perseid meteor will be visible starting Sunday, so look up if you are up -- it should be a good show. It'll reach it's peak early overnight Monday into Tuesday morning, .
Starting Sunday night, you can see on average 70 meteors per hour. You won't see the meteors evenly spread out over time. You may see nothing for five minutes and then four or more in a row a minute later. The moon is a thin crescent that will set in the evening hours both night so it will not pose a problem to viewing. The forecast for Sunday and Monday nights isn't great -- partly to mostly cloudy skies with temperatures in the mid to mid 80s. Hopefully we can get some clearing in SE Texas for the night time hours.
Look toward the northeastern sky, the constellation Perseus, where the meteor shower gets its name, forms an inverted "Y" shape. This is the area where the meteors or "shooting stars" originate. Often referred to as shooting or falling stars, meteors aren't stars at all. The particles we see originated from the Comet Swift-Tuttle. As Earth runs into the particle stream in its orbit every year, we view the bright, fast meteors as they hit Earth's atmosphere at 37 miles per second. The particles are small bits of interplanetary rock and debris vaporizing high in Earth's upper atmosphere. Traveling at tens of thousands of miles an hour, it ignites from the friction with the atmosphere, 30 to 80 miles above the ground. Almost all are destroyed in this process. The rare few that survive and hit the ground are known as meteorites. The meteors are usually the size of a grain of rice.
You will see more meteors if you observe from a dark location (40 miles away from the lights of a big city, like Houston). It's also best to view meteor showers without a telescope because your eyes provide the best field of view. For maximum comfort set up a lawn chair, preferably one that reclines, and enjoy the show. In addition to your chair, bring a blanket, bug spray, cookies, fruit and a non-alcoholic beverage (alcohol interferes with the eye's dark adaption as well as the visual perception of events).
The George Observatory, in Richmond, has an annual viewing party you can attend Saturday night. It's 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. and costs $3 to $5. Parking is $7.
Best viewing hours are from Midnight to 6 a.m. Saturday, Sunday and Monday overnight. This is a really cool video of the Perseid Meteor Shower.21401460

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Saint Leo men's lacrosse head coach Brad Jorgensen has announced the addition of four early signees to the 2014 roster. Defenders Nick Buckley and Mike Kavanagh, and midfielders Jake Kavanagh and Greg Strobl, will join the Green and Gold next season.
"I am very happy with this incoming group," said Jorgensen. "This group is full of potential, and will improve our team on many different levels. We have very high expectations for this class, and I am confident they will make an impact from the start."
With a solid mix of size, speed, and skills, the new signees hail from the Sunshine State, as well as New York.
Nick Buckley
6-2 | 215 | Defender
Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
Ponte Vedra High School
Buckley plays for Ponte Vedra High School under Head Coach Tom West. The 6-2 defender has helped his team to back-to-back state final-four appearances (2011-2012), and back-to-back District and Regional Championships. In 2012, he was named North Florida First Team Preseason All-American. The Ponte Vedra Beach native has been selected as a member of Team Florida, as well as the Ponte Vedra Possums, and was a member of the first lacrosse team from Florida to win the Battle of the Hotbeds National Tournament held at the University of Delaware. Buckley chose Saint Leo because it offers him the unique opportunity to learn and grow as a student-athlete within a Catholic institution.
Coach Jorgensen's Thoughts: "Nick is an athletic defender with a great lacrosse IQ. He comes from one of the best high school programs in the state, and has proven himself on the national level this summer."
Jake Kavanagh
5-11 | 175 | Midfielder
Shoreham, N.Y.
Shoreham Wading River High School
A native of Shoreham, N.Y., Kavanagh played a role in helping the Shoreham Wading River High School Wildcats to a State Championship victory in 2012. The 5-11 middie chose Saint Leo because of the academics, lacrosse program, and Florida weather. His cousin, Mike, has also signed on to play with the Lions beginning in 2014.
Coach Jorgensen's Thoughts: "Jake is a perfect fit with our midfield group. His ability to contribute in multiple roles and compete against high level competition makes him a fantastic pick up."
Mike Kavanagh
6-1 | 210 | Defender
Geneva, N.Y.
Geneva High School
Kavanagh is a four year varsity starter for Smithtown High School East, playing under the direction of Head Coach Jason Lambert. He was named Defensive MVP as the Nike Lacrosse Camp held at the University of Vermont. A member of the Athletes Helping Athletes Club, Kavanagh was also given First Team All-Division Honors for his efforts as a linebacker on the football team, where he racked up 70 tackles and eight sacks in 2012. The Smithtown, N.Y. native chose Saint Leo because of the accounting program, and comfortable atmosphere on campus. His cousin, Jake, has also signed with the Lions to play in 2014.
Coach Jorgensen's Thoughts: "Mike has a Division I frame, and a very high level of toughness. He will bring a physical presence to our defense that reflects our style of play."
Greg Strobl
5-10 | 160 | Midfielder
Oviedo, Fla.
Oviedo High School
Sunshine State product Greg Strobl currently plays for Oviedo High School, as well as the Orlando Possums club organization. Playing under the direction of Sean O'Dell at Oviedo, Strobl has earned First Team All-Conference, and All-District honors in 2012. In addition, he was named Midfielder of the Year in 2012, and earned the Coaches Award in 2011. The two-time captain racked up 14 goals, 45 assists, and 92 ground balls in his 2012 campaign. Stobl chose Saint Leo because of Coach Jorgensen's coaching style, the new lacrosse stadium, new residence life halls, and the new, state-of-the-art School of Business building on campus.
Coach Jorgensen's Thoughts: "Greg is a very gifted offensive player who can also lock down and defend on the other end of the field. His skill-sets fit perfectly with the new NCAA playing rules."
The Saint Leo men's lacrosse team kicks off their eighth season on Tuesday, February 12, when they host Deep South Conference opponent Florida Tech.
