text: "We believe we have great opportunities to improve our operating performance. Although tangible results of our efforts likely will not be visible in the shorter term, we are committed to implementing improvements that we are confident will contribute to the longer-term health of the business," Borick added.Full Year Results Wheel sales in 2011 increased $103.5 million, or 15 percent, to $813.0 million from $709.5 million in 2010, as unit shipments increased by 6 percent compared with 2010. A change in average aluminum price, which generally is passed through to customers, contributed approximately $55.4 million to the sales increase and was the primary driver of a 7 percent increase in the average selling price of the company's wheels. Consolidated gross profit decreased $22.1 million in 2011 to $67.1 million, or 8 percent of net sales, compared with $89.2 million, or 12 percent of net sales, in 2010. The decline in gross profit and margin percentage reflects a weaker product mix and higher manufacturing costs, principally increased labor expense. While continuing to operate at full capacity to meet customer demand, inefficiencies while commercializing certain new product programs, equipment reliability problems and other manufacturing process issues resulted in manufacturing cost per wheel increasing. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $25.9 million, or 3 percent of net sales, in 2011 compared with $28.3 million, or 4 percent of net sales, in 2010. Compared with 2011, the 2010 expenses were higher by $1.3 million due to costs to implement a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and $900,000 in higher legal fees, while the 2011 results include a $1.5 million reduction in our deferred compensation liability, offset partially by $700,000 higher medical self-insurance costs. Income before income taxes and equity earnings was $41.9 million in 2011, compared with $57.5 million for 2010, which included the $4.1 million loss on sale of the company's joint venture investment in Hungary. The company's share of the Hungarian joint venture's losses in 2010 was $2.8 million.

Most of us love to travel abroad and actively research different information about the country of destination. Nevertheless, details about the local police or the emergency medical services are often overlooked. Let's face it, no one likes to research what are your options in case of an accident, when you could read about the Melk monastery near Vienna, instead.
Not to worry, Apple has your back! According to new information dug up by FreePatentsOnline, the tech giant published a new patent with the US Patent and Trademark Office this week, called "Location-Based Emergency Informationâ€. The app is supposed to research information for the traveler about the foreign country's emergency service, to save and store them in case of need.
"When a person travels abroad, emergencies can occur. For example, the person can become injured in an accident, be a victim of a crime or lose their travel documents. In those situations, having knowledge of contact information for local emergency services or the pertinent consular services can be beneficial."
The app will also possess intelligent qualities, which will allow it to become "aware†of the location in which the victim is located, enabling it to send signals with the exact placement of the injured party to the local police, fire or medical assistance units. In case of need, the app will pull out a list of emergency services icons for the user to select. Such an app would be truly useful, and will make travelers feel more secure, no matter in which country they decide to travel to.

An application of Ramsey model in transition economy: a Russian case study
This case study uses the Ramsey model to analyze whether the current electricity prices charged by the natural monopoly Novosibirskenergo in a major industrial region of the Russian Federation are socially optimal. Our estimates of demand elasticities for two major groups of consumers, namely households and industrial users, show that prices are not socially optimal. A decrease in price for industrial users and an increase in price for households would bring the prices closer to socially optimal.

Recruiting the best candidates for the public workforce is important at a time when the loss of experienced employees due to redundancies and retirements is creating a talent shortage.
As with any organisation, good public sector performance rests with its staff: their capacities and skills, as well as the ability of the leadership to motivate staff to do their best in achieving organisational objectives.
Strategic human resource management allows governments to align their workforce with their goals. It enables governments to have the right number of people with the right skills at the right place. Such practices help governments increase efficiency, responsiveness and quality in service delivery.
Civil service systems are at public management's core; hence they are central to governmental effectiveness. In the current context, countries need to ensure that the public workforce is motivated and committed to delivery, despite the need for pay restraints and redundancies.
The compensation of employees represents a significant percentage of public expenditure. This meeting addressed the challenge of adjusting compensation in line with countries fiscal consolidation requirements.
The nearly 60 indicators available in this second edition compare the political and institutional frameworks of government across OECD countries as well as government revenues and expenditures, employment, and compensation.
The 2010 annual meeting of the Public Employment and Management Working Party (PEMWP) built on the discussions and the communiqué of the OECD Public Governance Committee at Ministerial level that took place in Venice on 15 November 2010.
Brazil has recently delivered remarkable performance in economic, social and financial terms. However, Brazil still needs to address longer-term challenges to continue to bolster the economy's growth potential and close the gap in living standards in relation to the OECD area at a faster pace.

Thirty years ago, Brooksville was a one-horse town.
Then a former Navy submariner turned bank executive with a quick laugh and taste for beer acted on a dream.
And Brooksville became a one-mule town.
We 20-somethings who lived here celebrated Les Jinkens' decision to swap his starched white shirts and ties for blue jeans and T-shirts. He gave us a place to hang out, to enjoy a pastrami sandwich and live music.
Three decades later, the Red Mule Pub depends more on its lunchtime business than late-night brews. It's more of a family place. And as Hernando County's population has grown from 36,000 to an estimated 169,000 in that period, there are many more watering holes and restaurants.
But there is only one Red Mule. While Broad Street out front has grown from two to six lanes and the thick forests at the intersection of the truck bypass have surrendered to shopping centers and chain businesses, Les Jinkens' tiny emporium has become something special.
A shrine.
The tables and chairs haven't changed since 1978, but wall space in the 1,200-square-foot restaurant is now at a premium. Every inch is covered, mainly with local heroes and Jinkens family favorites.
Jerome Brown dominates, naturally, just as he did for the Philadelphia Eagles before his tragic death in a car wreck just up the road in 1992.
Mike Imhoff, the Hernando High football coach murdered in 1996, is pictured during his playing days at Michigan State.
Bronson Arroyo pitched for Hernando High before helping the Boston Red Sox win the World Series. He was a Red Mule regular. Near his picture are other sports stars, including many NFL players who came to town every year to help youngsters in memory of Brown.
Other pictures will test you. For instance, there are Homer and Howard Jones, loyal boosters of Hernando High when it was the only high school in the county. There is a "Go Leopards" sign that once graced the scoreboard at Tom Fisher Stadium and a large purple and gold wooden sign from the baseball field that says "In Memory of Leopard Booster Fred Farmer." Coaches didn't come any better.
Maulty Moore makes the Red Mule wall. He played football at the old Moton High School before desegregation and later earned a Super Bowl ring as a member of the 17-0 Miami Dolphins. He still drops by the pub from time to time.
Stacy Westbrook catches your eye, pictured in her Tampa Bay Buccaneers cheerleading outfit. Jamie Cuffe gave her autograph — as Snow White at Disney World. Just below her picture is Tommy Scrivens, another local boy, who is distinguishing himself as a dancer in New York and likely headed for Broadway.
Country music star Tracy Lawrence once played the Hilltop Lounge in Brooksville and stopped by the Red Mule long enough to sign a picture. Rocker Ted Nugent's mother lived in nearby High Point and came by every Saturday for a corned beef sandwich. Ted tucked his hair up under a hat so nobody recognized him, but Jinkens got him to sign a picture.
Last week, the best-known of the Jinkens family, 82-year-old Julia, was busy making room on the wall for the most accomplished of all the former Hernando County residents — Dr. Paul Farmer.
The Harvard-educated medical anthropologist and physician founded an international charity organization that has saved countless lives in Haiti and served as a model in poor communities around the world. Farmer has been called a likely candidate for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Julia is a hero in her own right. Her fundraising and good deeds are legendary in Brooksville, and in 1996 she was selected to carry an Olympic torch for a half-mile. That torch is at the Red Mule.
Julia still works at the Brooksville Elementary School cafeteria each weekday morning and then helps with day care at Hernando Christian Academy. She regularly comes by the pub to help, as she has for 30 years.
About 15 years ago, Les welcomed his brother, Tim, as co-owner.
"Mom made him," Tim said with his usual dose of humor. Tim, a 1976 graduate of Hernando High, where he played football, wore a toga along the parade route when Julia carried the torch.
Though business is about as soft as the rest of our economy, the brothers figure to keep the pub open for years to come.
Les has been seeking a copyright on the Red Mule name for a year and is exploring franchise opportunities.
He chose the name after visiting the mountains of North Georgia, where the red mule is admired for its strength and stamina.
It has taken a similar stamina to last 30 years, including all that time road crews tore up and widened Broad Street (U.S. 41).
Inflation has also made things tricky. The original menu listed the now famous Red Mule Reuben at $1.95. Today it goes for $7.95. A mug of Budweiser cost 55 cents 30 years ago. Today it is $1.85.
Of course in 1978, Jinkens paid $18.50 for a keg that yielded 200 mugs of beer. That same keg today costs him $68. Rent in the small strip center was $325 back then; today it's $1,850.
"Everything goes up," he sighed. "How much did you pay for gas 30 years ago?"
Les professes affection for other longtime independents in Brooksville — Luigi's, Coney Island, Mallie Kyla's. It's a tough business, he says, especially with competition from national chains such as Applebee's.
"But I wouldn't change anything. We have done this as a family. And we have made our mark in Brooksville."
Bill Stevens is North Suncoast editor. When the Red Mule opened in 1978, he wrote the story for the Times. He can be reached at email@example.com or at (727) 869-6250.

Hurstbourne Priors v Hobos.
Even the appearance of the Red Arrows was not enough to inspire Hurstbourne Priors to consecutive wins.
Hobos won the toss and elected to bowl and were soon on top when Kelum Watta bowled Richard Carter for one.
Experimental opener Jonathan Hopkinson showed no fear at the other end and struck three quick fours before nicking Fernando to Vishavhaha.
Steve Cady showed promise but was bowled by Farook and Priors were soon in consolidation mood and despite Farook's excessive appealing the home side put on 66 for the fourth wicket.
Mark Hamson (50) and Mark Matthews (36) ran well between the wickets as well punishing all loose balls before Matthews lost concentration and was bowled.
Sandeep Naik then soon followed and with the track playing well Priors needed quick runs and Rajiv Kumar (26 not out) provided them with two huge sixes and ensured Priors reached 180-6.
Tadley got off to the perfect start with Imtijaz Chitty playing positively.
Kumar trapped Norman Howe early but Imbran Gouse (45) took Priors on smashing five huge sixes.
Skipper Mark Hamson rang the changes which proved ineffective with bowlers constantly straying down the leg side. Bob Pegler saved plenty down the leg side before Imbran was finally removed when Charles Binks took a wonderful catch at long off.
Jonathan Hopkinson showed some control at the road end but when he dropped a dolly off his own bowling Priors knew it was not their day.
Tony Blyth came on to bowl some left arm twirlers and removed Imtijaz for 71 with Hamson taking a catch at long on but Tadley remained in control and reached their target with 13 overs to spare.
Hurstbourne Priors thank Rachel Blyth for a sublime tea and RJC Agencies for sponsoring the match ball.

Home > Community > Health Library > Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a heart defect that is present
at birth (congenital) in which the left side of the heart and aorta are very
small or underdeveloped. The small left ventricle makes the right ventricle responsible for pumping blood to the
lungs and body.
Over time, too little blood may be pumped to the body, leading to
heart failure. Without a series of major heart operations, this defect almost always
causes death.

Research Descriptions:
Dynamics of Polymer Nanometer Films
It has been broadly observed that the physical properties of polymers, including the elastic modulus, freezing temperature and relaxation behaviors, can become quite different from the bulk when the the material is molded into a nanometer film or structure. Recently, our group developed a method that has enabled us to measure the viscosity of polymer nanometer films with thicknesses from 2 to above 100 nm. In this method, we monitor the dynamics of the height fluctuations of the films and model it with the dynamics of surface capillary waves, which is related to the flow property and hence effective viscosity of the films. Through these measurements, we have made illuminating observations about the rich influences of the interfaces and confinement effect - namely the effect of confining the polymer chains in a dimension smaller than the unperturbed radius of gyration. Having a good understanding of these influences is essential to effective usage of polymers in nanoscale applications.

The game tied into Facebook didn't do it for me, and I didn't try the console game because I saw so many negative reviews. However, now we all have another option. Abel Alves has built a completely free 8-bit Game of Thrones game just for fans.
It has four levels, and you can play four different characters. Jon Snow appears as does Daenerys Targaryen and her dragons among others. The game play is fun and one of the best parts for me was hearing the 8-bit version of Rains of Castamere. Go ahead, take the black and download the game.
Check out a sample play through after the break.

Australian Pokies Precommittment Trial Dead
22 February 2013
Australian Pokies Precommittment Trial Dead
An Australian trial of precommittment technology for pokie machines is "dead" and has been an expensive "thought bubble", the Australian federal opposition says.
A mandatory 'pre commitment' system for pub and club based gaming machines is a critical element of proposed legislation sponsored by Maori Party leader in waiting Te Ururoa Flavell. The Gambling (Gambling Harm Reduction) Amendment Bill, or "Flavell Bill', requires the mandatory installation of pre commitment technology to all pub and club based gaming machines.
The cancelled Australian project to, develop, install and trial a voluntary system in the ACT would have been the first of its kind in the southern hemisphere but foundered on major technical and political issues.
Martin Cheer, CEO of Pub Charity explains,
"Despite reports to the contrary the Aussie trial of this system never even got a look at first base. We have warned the New Zealand government that this unproven and undeveloped technology would cost in excess of $500M to install and would devastate the $250m in donations and $300M in tax revenue raised every year by the pub based gaming sector in New Zealand. "
"The Commerce Select Committee can no longer seriously consider the requirement for pre commitment technology contained in the Flavell Bill as a viable option, contrary to how it has been proposed by the Bill's supporters."
"Effectively requiring national registration for all persons wishing to play a pub based gaming machine is simply too onerous for the 99.7 % of New Zealanders not struggling with their gambling behaviour."
New Zealand has spent over $120M raised from a levy on gambling profits on problem gambling research, public awareness, and counselling services in the last 6 years. In addition over 25% of all gaming machines in pubs and clubs have been removed reducing donations and tax revenue by over $200M in inflation adjusted terms. Over the same period total gambling spend has increased, particularly on Lottery products.
Cheer says; "It's time we recognised the very personal nature of the drivers of this behaviour just as they have done in Australia. We have a few expensive 'thought bubbles' of our own that need to be burst.".
Pub Charity supports communities all over New Zealand, limited only by local council gambling policies and gambling legislation. National organisations through to grass root level local organisations are able to reach their objectives to benefit the people they serve through a simple, transparent, efficient, timely, non-political and independent funding process making Pub Charity a funder of choice for many organisations. Thanks to our venue operators, Pub Charity is able to make a huge difference to a wide range of local causes by returning millions of dollars back to communities where we operate.
Community groups interested in learning more about Pub Charity can visit www.pubcharity.org.nz or pick up an application for a donation form from their local Pub Charity venue. Complete the form and send it, together with the required documents, to Pub Charity, PO Box 27 009, Wellington so it reaches us by March 5th, 5pm to be included in our March 2013 round.

Our Story
In 2012, Malibu raised founder Francesca Aiello began her mission to create the perfect bikini after her mother encouraged her to have suits custom made. Soon she was creating bikinis for friends and gained even more momentum when she showcased her designs on Instagram. After creating two collections Francesca made her Miami Swim Week debut in 2014, making her the youngest designer ever to do so. Francesca's designs have been worn by supermodels and celebrities including Candice Swanepoel, Ireland Baldwin, and Kylie Jenner.
Frankies Bikinis is a global online destination for fashion forward boho-chic beachwear inspired by Malibu and made in LA and Bali. Known for dreamlike fabrics, designer crochet detailing, and cheeky bottoms our suits look great on everybody. Frankies Bikinis has grown to include a full range of boho-chic beachwear including tops, dresses, bottoms, and shorts made in luxuriously soft flowy fabrics.
Frankies Bikinis can be found in better retail boutiques nationwide including Revolve, Nordstroms, Diane's Beachwear, and Planet Blue. The largest selection of Frankies Bikinis can be found at frankiesbikinis.com.
Friends don't let friends wear average bikinis.
A message from founder Francesca Aiello:
"I've always been very picky about my bikinis, so I was going to Hawaii to get them custom-made, and my mom suggested I get a few for my friends while I was there. I'd give all of my friends bikinis, then they'd go home and post them on Instagram and that's when Frankies Bikinis started. Now we are continuing our journey and working to make the perfect bikini even better. I know you will love your Frankies Bikini and can't wait to see you sporting the suits!

After Death of the Family, we've all been wondering what happens next. What could Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo have coming up? When looking at this coming year, Snyder did tell us the following:
Our big story in 2013 will be the most daring and ambitious one we've done. Hands down.
What could that mean? It appears it means they're going back to Bruce's roots. In a story with the Associated Press, it was revealed that BATMAN: ZERO YEAR would begin in issue #21.
It's not 'let's redo the origin.' It's time for a new story showing how Batman became who he is in the New 52.
Due to the nature of the New 52 in bringing new origins to many in the comics, a question has remained what has and hasn't happened with Batman? Snyder's plan is to show us how Batman found his calling and what challenges he first encountered. The story will be an 11-issue story beginning with June's issue #21 with art by Greg Capullo.
We tried to preserve as much of Batman's history as we could and keep what we could of this history intact. It's 'The Zero Year,' the one that no one has told the story of before. We see how Bruce became the Batman, built the cave, faced off with his first super villain.
It's pretty amazing in all these years, this story has never been fully told. Snyder also notes they do not plan to 'take apart' Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's YEAR ONE.
It's time for a new story showing how Batman became who he is in the New 52.
I say, it's about time. Many of us have been wondering how it all began in this New 52 Universe. And as Snyder put it, we never really saw how he actually became Batman in terms of building the Batcave and all. This should satisfy those that want these details plus deliver a new story to those that don't get hung up on the little details. It also sounds as if this will be pulling the comic away from the other Bat-titles. We'll have to find out more.

High Voltage Insulator for Umbilical
I am making an umbilical to connect a preamp and a power supply. There will be 4 wires to carry the B+ (~300V), G, and heater supplies. Does anyone have a suggestion on an outer coating for the wires to act as an additional insulator?
What's wrong with normal sleeving? This isn't terribly high voltage. You could even use shrink. For the neurotic audiophile, the bundle could be wrapped in teflon tape, then shrink applied.
Where abrasion is a concern I slip the high voltage conductors into some aquarium tubing and generally slip the whole bundle into expandable braided black sleeving for appearance and strain relief. In nearly 20yrs I have not had a problem with this approach, looks better than heat shrink and far more flexible. A little heatshrink tubing at the ends and nice cpc style connectors from action electronics and I am done..
Nice ideas, both of you.
I am somewhat preferential to the military gray Amphenol solder pot connectors. Overpriced? Absolutely.
I do not have audiophile nervosa, but in the 18 years of field service working with test equipment, I have had less than stellar results with the Amp CPC connectors. Just a little too weak in those instances where repeated connect/disconnect cycles each day trash the little captive pins. Never a problem with the Amphenols.
Granted, a preamp sees "little to none" duty cycle, so is probably just fine. Audiophile nervosa, no, but anal retentive, maybe a little.
I would also consider buying an oversized 6 or 8 pin connector, and use an "in the clear" pin for the B+. i.e. the pins surrounding the B+ pin are unused. Just a thought. You don't pay much more for the extra pins. A little heatshrink on the B+ solder pot end doesn't hurt either. Easy to pull off if necessary.
Thanks for the replies. I picked up some Amphenol connectors from Mouser. They weren't too expensive and seemed like a good idea. I only got 4 pins, but as you say it the isolated pin seems like a good idea. Of course, if PSUD is to be believed, B+ ripple will be in the uV range, and heaters are also regulated DC, so I don't imagine there will be any issues.
I think I will just put a layer of heatshrink on the wire, which is teflon coated on its own, though I like the aquarium tube idea -- I'll look into that. The paranoia is not audiophile related, but more that I am pretty paranoid about fire. I always go into this with the assumption that I have done something wrong, so I try to over compensate for safety. I have amps that have been running fine for years that I still won't leave running if I am not around.
Actually, I think Kevin's mesh idea is excellent and will probably do that for my next build. The last thing I built with a HV cable was my phono preamp, and it uses CAT5.
Hi dsavitsk if youthink about it most hook up wire is good to 600 vdc so fire isn't a real concern.
But for the sake of safety you can never go to far. I think as long as you use teflon heat shrink you should be golden.
I'm thinking about seperating church and state for my amp I'm working on sence the power supply alone will tip the scales at 50+ pounds.
For b+ on the output tubes i am going to use rg58 with mhv connectors.
On the CPC thing, while they are not as rugged as the milspec amphenols I haven't had any problem in commercial service in over 10 yrs of use.. They are rated for at least a few hundred insertion cycles which should be enough for the life of most hifi equipment, and being locking are far better than the octal and jones plugs I still see all too frequently applied by inexperienced hobbyists.
The main reason I avoid the metal connectors besides the high cost is that they are quite heavy/klunky and when moving equipment around an inadvertent collision of a swinging connector (captive cable) with the chassis and there goes your nice paint job..
Incidentally anyone using non-locking connectors should use an AC interlock on that connector to assure that the supply will not operate when the cable is not plugged in. And there should be no exposed contacts either particularly if the supply can be energized with the load disconnected or in general. (Plug/socket gender issue.)
For the record, these Amphenols are what might be termed as freakishly huge. The Mouser catalog did not do them justice -- they seem to expect a garden hose to act as the conduit ...
Anyhow, I know people (SY in particular) don't like the use of XLR connectors as power connectors (SY likes to say it is when, not if you will plug the wrong thing in the wrong place) but I can't get my 3 prong audio connectors to connect to the 5 prong XLR connectors I bought for power a while back, so I may just use them here. The Amphenols may have to wait until I build something larger and more military ready ...
I just trusted the wire's insulation. These are for an amp running to 600V of B+, with AC to the filament iron and bias( 8-pins ). The B+ wire is 1kV rated and the rest is 600V. All are stuck in some heat-shrink. The connecters are the Amphenol MS-series. Pins rated to 700VAC between themselves. The switch is on the amp's chassis, and they control a relay coil in the PS, and 6.3V heater TX for the front end tubes.

Dolly Parton's Changing Looks
Shop This Post
1. 1955
The 9-year-old grew up in Sevier County, Tenn., with 11 brothers and sisters. "If we ever had any makeup in the house," her mother once told People of the budding beauty, "Dolly'd grab it first."
2. 1964"I always wanted to be prettier," Parton has said of her teenage self. "I got to fixin' myself up. I wanted my clothes tight, my makeup bright, my nails long, my lips red. I got into it."
3. 1970
Looking extra fresh-faced, a young Parton poses for a portrait circa 1970.
4. 1972The rising star (who released two solo albums and performed with partner Porter Wagoner) had already adopted her trademark whipped cream wigs and frosty makeup.
5. 1976
Talk about voluminous hair! The country singer posed for this picture circa 1976.
6. 1977
Parton stepped out in New York City with her signature voluminous hair and on-point makeup.
7. 1978
"I'm aware I'm not in style, but it don't bother me," the Heartbreaker songstress told People of her bubble coifs. "I like looking as if I came out of a fairy tale."
8. 1980Parton related to her misunderstood sexpot secretary character in Nine to Five. "I'm not selling sex," she said of her unabashedly va-va-va-voom style. "The magic of the whole thing, is that I am one way and look another."

15. 2010"I'm in the public eye, so I don't care who knows what I get done," the ageless Parton said of her beauty regimen. "If I see something sagging, dragging or bagging, I get it sucked, tucked or plucked. It takes a lot of money to look as cheap as I look."

WASPS won the second half 28-3 to trounce London Welsh at the Kassam Stadium yesterday, but director of rugby Dai Young insists there were no changing room fireworks at half time.
He said: "I don't really do angry. It was an honest appraisal of where we were in the first half. It certainly wasn't kicking over glasses, I don't think that gets you anywhere."
Instead, Young sent his players out for the second period with two clear objectives.
He said: "I asked them for two things, be more accurate in attack in defence and muscle up. I felt in the first half they [London Welsh] were winning the 50/50s and they were certainly doing a job on us in the tackle area and we were losing the battle of the gain line.
"I wanted us to win the physical battle because I thought if we could do that we had the little bit of the x factor in our team, the little bit of added quality that would win us the game.
"But that quality can only play if you underpin it with that accuracy and that work ethic and physicality."
Four tries later and it was job done.

My favorite material is probably wood. I am self taught since around the age of 12.
I use the traditional gouges and chisels but love my power tools!
I have collected driftwood from the ocean and rivers my whole life. It's my favorite to carve because it has so much character and I have always seen faces in just about anything and everything. And I hate to let a good branch trimmed from a fruit tree go to waste, so it's great to carve a spoon or hair stick from.

The spoons I carve are pretty darn buff and should last a very long time. All the woods I use are safe to use with food.
The hair sticks I carve may look delicate, but they are strong and hold hair very well! I don't cut down trees for the purpose of carving things. But I do use the limbs trimmed from trees, mainly from my own yard or family and friends. I have a small amount of exotic hardwoods, passed down to me when my Dad passed away this year. He was a wood turner and carved once in a while, so I guess you might say, that carving wood runs in the family!
I see faces in driftwood and roots and like to release them!

I also except credit cards.
I have to charge sales tax to California residents, sorry but it's the law!
I hope you will reuse the boxes and packing materials I use to ship your order with.
I reuse packing materials, boxes, as much as possible. I do have to buy most of my packing supplies though. Part of my shipping costs are for packing materials, not just the postage price!
I have recently purchased small boxes to mail my items.
Sometimes If I can't find the right sized box, I make it and that takes time!
I package everything very carefully so it won't break during shipping.
The drive to my local post office is about a 10 mile round trip drive into town. So that is figured into my shipping costs.
Buyers out side of the USA are responsible for any and all duties and customs charges that may be incurred.
Refunds and Exchanges
Please look at each picture carefully!
Please read each description on what you are purchasing. I try to be accurate on sizes as much as I can. So get a ruler out and make sure this is what you want size wise before buying. I won't refund if you decide it wasn't what you wanted because you didn't read my descriptions correctly.
I put lots of time into what I create and also packing them for shipment, plus the drive to town to mail an item I have made costs my time and fuel.
Thanks for understanding!

Person-to-Person Loans, Laddering and Short-Term Savings
In my recent post about short-term savings, I talked about creating an emergency fund with three to six months' worth of savings. A great way to implement that savings plan is to use a laddering technique.
To help explain the laddering technique, let's look at an example using the most classic implementation: using Certificates of Deposits (CDs). CDs have different terms and different interest rates. If you were to implement a CD ladder, you would invest your money in multiple terms, such as a 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-month CD. Each time a CD matured, you would reinvest the proceeds in a new 12-month CD. So after 3 months, your 3-month CD would mature and you'd buy a 12-month CD. You would then have 3 months left on your 6-month CD, 6 months left on your 9-month CD, 9 months left on your original CD, and 12 months left on your new 12-month CD. An alternative method using CDs would be to buy 12-month CDs every month for a year.
The traditional thinking behind using CD laddering is that you can get the higher returns that CDs offer over many traditional savings accounts, while still having some access to your money. While your money is tied up as you create the ladder, once it's established you'll have at least some of your money coming out on a regular basis.
While using CDs to build your ladder is one method, it certainly isn't the only one. Laddering also works very well for Lending Club person-to-person loan portfolios. You could create new portfolios at different times to own loans that reach maturity at different times. Even simpler, you can just reinvest the money that you receive from your loans each month to achieve the same goal. Since loans on Lending Club are scheduled to be repaid on a monthly basis for 36 months, you automatically have the characteristic of a ladder in that a portion of your investment is returned to you each month. If an unexpected expense arose, you could stop reinvesting the money for a month or two and instead withdraw it from your account.
When you consider the fact that Lending Club person-to-person loans offer lenders better rates than CDs, while still preserving the laddering feature of returning a portion of your investment to you each month, you may find that a portfolio of loans is a better fit for your financial goals than a laddered CD. Either approach is a viable way to build up your emergency fund and one that you may want to consider.

The heartbreak of missing out on the 2012 AFL draft has spurred Tom Langdon to make his time at Collingwood count.
A year after missing out completely, Langdon waited until pick 65 in last year's draft to hear his name read out by the Magpies.
Since then, he's wasted no time forging a role in defence at the biggest club of all.
Langdon has played in each of the Magpies' matches this year, much to his surprise.
"Being a first-year player, I wasn't expecting it," he said.
"I guess I was just improving each week in training, building in confidence every week."
Langdon was named as the AFL's rising star nominee for his damaging role in Collingwood's win over Carlton on Friday night.
"It's reward for effort in a way and I'm pretty happy to get it," he said.
His eight marks, 23 disposals with 87 per cent efficiency helped stymie the Blues for three quarters when the game was won.
His rise has delighted coach Nathan Buckley, who said being passed over at the 2012 draft gave him resilience and drive.
"We have found a player who still has a lot to learn and will still have his ups and downs but is showing us he is capable of playing at the highest level," Buckley said.
Langdon's break-out debut season has perhaps impressed the hundreds of thousands of AFL fantasy players even more.
His outstanding form has made him one of the AFL's most valued players - for his cheap price and high scores.
And his mates let Langdon know when he hasn't performed.
"They'll always giving me stick for not performing ... they're always the first to tell me how I'm going."

Mariana Cordoba is back in some red hot lingerie. The panties, the bra and the hot fishnet stockings only sweeten the look of her as she stroke her giant tranny cock. Also look at her lips, now those are made for some sucking action don't you think. Just imagine her on her knees looking up at you and as she blows you she is stroking her own tranny meat now that is the place you will want to get into. Come over to her site and come inside her home and see what this naughty girl is all about!
If anyone deserves to be on Shemale Huge Cocks it is Mariana Cordoba. This girl is packing some major meat under her skirt and she also has a beautiful face and body to go with it. A great full package for the fan that loves girls with giant dicks. She has been around for a few years now and continues to blow me away by how hot she looks. Now she has a brand new site featuring hardcore and solo action and you will be back for more in no time!
Nicoly Assuncao is a very sexy shemale that is new to the world of porn. She also seems to love bareback and you can tell from this photo that her and her cock just loves being pumped raw. She is appearing on one of my favorite raw sites, and of course it is called Shemales Get Barebacked. She is also in a gangbang scene inside the network where she gets her ass fucked and then creampied with sticky jizz. The guy's cum shoots all over her ass and her cock, a really dirty and hot scene to watch!
When I heard that Mariana Cordoba was having her own site I was like damn she belongs on Shemale Huge Cocks! The choice is obvious when she drops her panties to reveal that giant piece of tranny meat. She is a very sexy girl from Argentina but she has also lived in Italy. So two sides of the world got to experience her giant love cock. Best thing about her solo site is she actually uses it. Not just stroking and being shy but shoving it in guy's asses and mouth, playing with other tranny girlfriends and more, very nice!
If you are unsure of the shemale in my header then I will tell you it is Nicolly Navarro. She is one of my favorite Brazilian shemales because she not only looks very sexy but also has a huge cock between her legs. Usually she is using to fuck guys and girls but tonight she is taking a break as this lucky guy gets to see her big tool between her legs as he bangs her bareback style. This might not be for everyone, not using a condom can be risky but you have to admit it's hot.
If you want a sexy shemale in American with a huge shemale cock then I like to introduce you to Mia Isabella. Perhaps you know her perhaps not but if you don't then you will want to see what she has under her skirt. This transsexual has got a huge dick and it is hard and straight as an arrow. If you get to close you just might find it in your mouth or your tight ass. She loves to use it but don't worry she also loves to have her beautiful Latin ass penetrated as well. She loves to change her look which makes her always interesting to play with, what I can tell you is she looks hot no matter what she wears! Of course what tranny would not be complete without some lesbian shemale action as well, she loves to get involved in that!
To bring American Shemales into the forefront you got to mention Bailey Jay as a very sexy Tranny with a nice huge curved shecock. Bailey Jay is probably in the top 5 most popular shemales in America and by her amazing looks, her fun attitude and her outrageous outfits you can see why. She is one of my personal favorites and you will find her stroking that lovely cock and using it to fuck! In fact she even gets involved in some bareback action as she gives and takes raw no condom sex. If you are considering joining her site I would recommend joining the multi-site network, that way you get access to more transsexual sites with your membership.

Brits Blitz Jam and Chutney making as Downton Abbey effect strikes
War time spirit seen in series reflects Blitz spirit of shoppers going back to basics
As the nation bid a fond farewell to Downton Abbey on Sunday night, Asda reports home-grown jam and chutney making has been on the rise since the show first hit screens in September, as Brits replicate the frugal living of the first world war era with bottling and pickling home grown goodies.
A survey by Asda's Pulse of the Nation shows that one in eight Brits (12%) have become first time jam or chutney makers since the second series of Downton hit our TV screens this autumn. Shoppers say the key motivation for the trend has been that they want to stock up store cupboards for the long winter months ahead (54%), followed by trying to save a few pennies by making Christmas gifts rather than buying them (29%) with 17% admitting they've wanted to embrace more of frugal lifestyle, as inspired by Downton Abbey.
Asda has seen the following ingredients snapped up since Downton Abbey returned to our TV screens in September:
- Malt vinegar and sultanas, two essentials for chutney making, have seen sales shoot up by a massive 223% and 167% respectively
- Bramley apples, the base for most chutneys, have also risen by 102%, alongside muscovado sugar at 97%
- Fruits traditionally used in jam making which normally see sales tail off as the weather turns colder are bucking the trend this year; raspberries are up by 17% on this time last year, peaches by 13% and oranges by 11%
An Asda spokesperson said: "In the midst of Downton bringing rations back into fashion, Brits have gone pickling mad for all things in jars! From delicious fruity jam to apple chutneys, preserves are big news as Brits in the 21st century experience a similar feeling of belt tightening to that experienced during the First World War
"we're calling it the return of the Blitz spirit! For those finding themselves in a bit of a pickle in terms of lack of money or time to get to the shops, canning and bottling is an ideal way to feed the whole family whilst on a budget"

Need help with desicion on new sig
So I'm in the market for a new sig and while I have wanted a sig p226 in 40 s&w for awhile I was at my local gun shop and they had a 2022 and idk much about them never shot that particular model and it's priced better than the 226 so what if any differences and advantages or disadvantages of both
P.s it will be used for conceal carry and self defense and also my wife will be shooting it some so which one would be better for that as well
2 different weapons. I believe the 2022 is a 3.9" barrel and a polymer frame while the 226 is 5" and a steel frame; big difference. Both are great firearms. I'd try them both if you have a chance. Other than that, think about your use; lighter + smaller= easier to carry. And remember that with a lighter weight frame usually comes more felt recoil.
You can't go wrong with a SIG either way you go.
I have a 226 and I think it's too large to carry, unless you have baggy clothes and don't mind the weight. I don't know anything about the 2022.
Well the 226 is full sized like the 1911, maybe a tad shorter, but larger capacity.
If you want something for concealed carry check out the SIG P229 its roughly the Same pistol as a P226 but shorter overall and shorter barrel.
I have a 2022 in 9mm and it is by far once of the most accurate firearms that I own. It's my everyday carry. For the price, you can't get anything better.
Sig 226
I looked at the 2022 but was not comfortable with it. I have a 229 in 357 Sig Cal. and love it. Just the right size and very nice to shoot and carries well. Had a226 years ago but like the 229 better. Try them both if you can. I carried a 1911 for years but now the Glock is my daily companion. Good luck and safe shooting. Dogwalk
The 2022 is a great gun. Comes in a cardboard box, only 1 mag, and not many bells and whistles, but it has the quality you expect with Sig. Can't beat a price point like that on a Sig.
IMO the p220 is where its at when it comes to Sigs. Single stack .45 double single action and a decocker. Great handgun

Olympic chance for Church to raise its game
Inside: News
By Jo Duckles
THE Olympic Games in 2012 are a once-in-a-life time opportunity for Christians in Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. That was the message from the Revd Janet Binns, as she started her new full-time role helping make the most of the world's biggest sporting event. Janet will co-ordinate the work of the Olympic Focus Group, which is chaired by Dr David Brodie, and is attached to the Eton, Eton Wick and Boveney and Dorney benefice, where the Olympic rowing will take place. Janet, who runs for the Windsor, Slough, Eton and Hounslow Athletics club and has completed the London Marathon four times, said: "There can be all sorts of events around the torch relay and the games themselves and we need to be thinking and planning what we can be doing now. "It's a good opportunity for family events as most families will have someone who is involved in sport in one way or another. It's something I can connect with because of my sporting perspective. We are having a Living Faith fun day here in the Burnham and Slough deanery and there's no reason why a similar event couldn't have an Olympic theme. Scripture Union are

writing materials for holiday clubs. "The Church can seem out of touch and this is a real opportunity for us. I've just started to do this full time over the last week. So many people have been so encouraged by me being available in this role." The Bishop of Buckingham, the Rt Revd Alan Wilson, who is also on the focus group said: "The Olympics are the greatest show on earth and will see an enormous amount of money
and tourism in the Thames Valley. "They offer us all sorts of opportunities to raise our game as communities by discovering possibilities in our own lives for getting together, enjoying ourselves, keeping fit and thinking about life in a much more positive way." He said churches should expect to hear a lot about More Than Gold, an organisation set up to offer positive, intentional
ways of being Christians and providing holistic mission and hospitality at the games. More Than Gold's Nationwide Vision Tour is currently underway and will be at Dorney Lake, Windsor, on 14 October, 7.30 to 9.30pm. Churches are invited to send delegates. See www.morethan gold.org.uk/visiontour for more information. Send your Olympic plans to email@example.com.

Be forewarned this is another one of my not-really-a-recipe recipes. I think sausage taste really depends on how each individual family likes it. For my sausage I added 4 t. salt, 1 t. garlic powder, and 1/2 t. onion powder. We aren't really fans of too spicy sausage and I wanted mine to taste something like jerky.
Put patties on the cookie sheet separated by layers of wax paper. Flash freeze.
Once frozen through you can place into one large freezer bag or divide into meal portion freezer bags.
When ready to cook, just toss into a frying pan like you would any ready-made sausage product. Make sure the meat is thouroughly cooking through before serving.
I love this idea since we don't eat any nitrate meats and organic meats are very expensive. I used 3lbs of grass fed beef for this recipe which cost me $9. Since the cost of the spices was minimal I only paid the $9 for 25 sausage patties that will last us several meals!

Back from pneumonia battle, the singer generously treats 1,000 staff of Austrian hospital where he was treated to his free concert.
After a bout of health scare, George Michael happily announced that he is ready to get back on stage. The singer almost died of pneumonia last November, forcing him to cancel his Symphonica tour in Vienna, Austria and the remainder dates.
"I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you first to the doctors and nurses who saved my life and took such great care of me and to all my fans, family and friends for their love and support. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone," said the singer.
The tour has been rescheduled and would kick off September 4 in Vienna. As many as 1,000 staff from AKH hospital would be given free tickets to his concert for saving his life. Michael will also play The Palais Garnier Opera House in Paris on September 9, which makes him the first pop singer to perform at the venue. The tour continues in the Netherlands as well as London that month.
Concert promoters have confirmed original tickets bought for any of the postponed gigs will be valid for the rescheduled dates.
