works great

About Me Avid Cyclist
If you have that type of bottom bracket this is the tool you need.
Simple and effective tool, use your own torque wrench
By Harv in Ohio
from Ohio
Pretty, simple, worked great. No issues. Preferred over a version with a handle so you can use torque wrench or breaker bar if necessary.
Did the job after adjustment

About Me Commuter
One tooth on the tool was bent slightly but enough that the tool did not fit well. Since I had waited for the tool to be delivered, I was not interested to go through the return process and have further delay in replacing my bottom bracket. I grinded the one tooth to make the tool fit and it worked fine.
Nice Tool!

from Madtown, WI
Works well with ISIS BB where my older BBT-2 did not fit over the large diameter hollow axle of the ISIS BB. Also works on my Shimano BB's.

This Tool Works Great!
By JakesDad
from Baytown, Texas
I rode 3,414 miles last year and keep my bikes in top condition. I was dismayed when I saw the bottom bracket (BB) cap on my new TREK 7300 because it requires a special tool. Folks at the bike shop tried to talk me out of buying the tool because the BB is a cartridge unit and should run for years without service. I'm a bit stubborn so the folks at NB helped me select the right one and this is it! I didn't need the tool right then but ordered it just to have it on hand. The spline is very complex so the tool was made as a casting to keep costs down. The tool design allows two different wrench sizes and a place for a 3/8" drive ratchet. Shortly after the tool arrived, my bottom bracket began making popping noises and sure enough, it had come loose. I had this tool on hand and it worked perfectly! I don't like the fact that a very specialized tool is required for that BB but that's how it is. You NEED this tool to do anything with that BB as nothing else will work. This tool does the job perfectly and it's worth the money!

Good Tool!
By The Happy Biker
from SoCal High Desert
Like all Park tools this is a fine product, not cheap but very high, professional quality. You can turn it with a 1" wrench or a 3/8" socket wrench. I plugged mine into a 1/2" torque wrench using a 1/2" to 3/8" adapter.

Functional,well made,good fit
By macabee
from FLA
Thin wall design accepts all 20 internal notch bottom bracket cups including ISIS,Shimano octalink,and square taper cartridge bearing bottom brackets. Suprisingly not all splined tools will clear the crank arm bumpers found on some spindles and subsequently will not engage the cup notches.This tool however seems to work well with all types.

Remember Paul Bragiel?
He's the American venture capitalist who made a run at qualifying for Sochi as lone member of the Colombian cross-country ski team. He failed, despite devoting most of 2013 to training to make the Games after spending years as what he described as a chunky, out-of-shape computer nerd. Read the story.
Falling short as an Olympian, Bragiel is now relying on the computer nerd side of himself to make waves in Sochi. On Friday, in tandem with the Olympics opening ceremony, he will launch a new mobile game titled Team Paul Skiing that allows players to live out the dream as if it came true.
The game is simple. Users control a bearded cross-country skier through various landscapes, dodging an array of hazards, including a balalaika-wielding bear. If players do well, they make it to the Sochi Olympics and win a gold medal.
It's worth noting, Bragiel also wrote a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin asking for an honorary spot in the opening ceremonies, basing the request on his argument that he is an inspiration to people who take big and sometimes irrational risks to fulfill a dream.
Bragiel hasn't received a definite reply to his letter, but as things now stand, he is no longer keeping his hopes high. Most likely he will attend the opening ceremonies as a guest of the Finnish Olympic Committee, he says.
Before Bragiel takes too much grief for trying to milk as much recognition as he can from his Sochi attempt, it's worth noting that the game – which took four months and labor input valued roughly at tens of thousands of dollars to create – is intended to raise money for charity.
Team Paul Skiing corresponds with the launch of the Team Paul Foundation, designed to assist athletes in below the age of 18. The profits of the game will go to funding the foundation.
During an interview in Helsinki Wednesday, Bragiel said that attempting to make the Olympics revealed the demands and sacrifices junior athletes make in striving to reach the pinnacle of their sport.
"A lot of them forego university, and almost every single one of them ends tens of thousands of dollars in debt," he said. His game, he says, could be "an amazing way to reach out to people and raise money for these kids."
The economics behind the game are nearly as simple as the game itself. While free to download on Apple Inc.'s iOS or Google Inc.'s Android, players can make purchases during the game, the proceeds of which will go initially to Colombian Olympic athletes and junior cross-country skiers in Finland, where Bragiel spent much of his training time.
In theory, free-to-play games can pocket millions for their developers. King.com Ltd, for instance, has made a bundle with Candy Crush Saga. So has Finland's Supercell Oy, which made Clash of clans.
Egor Sheetikov, a Lithuanian whose On5 games firm created Team Paul Skiing, said the skiing game is designed so users won't feel pressure to make purchases. The game, he said has "soft" and "user-friendly monetization" techniques.
Sheetikov and Bragiel are old friends. The wannabe Olympian initially shrugged off the idea of a game as ridiculous, but then when it was linked with a charity effort he changed his mind. A self-labeled optimist, Bragiel now reckons, "if it gets a lot of exposure at least that can be leveraged into fundraising and awareness of what these athletes go through."

I'm kind of a sucker for notions... and I recently brought home a new blade for my Olfa rotary cutter!
The pinking blade!!! I have pinking shears but the pinking rotary cutter is waaaaay more fun!
I wanted to break in my new blade so I decided a fun little bunting was in order. It took me all of an hour to cut out 17 (woah that's a lot !) 4" tall flags, pin them into the binding, and sew a quick zig-zag stitch down the whole thing.
The pinking blade is thicker than the standard straight blade but man it cuts like buttah... no joke!
Even through Amy Butler's "Love" home dec weight fabric. I'll be making more of these sassy little buntings to sell at the craft show in November! So fun!

Owings excited for first game as leadoff hitter
CHICAGO -- D-backs shortstop Chris Owings has played at Wrigley Field before, but Monday's experience was very different.
Owings played in high school tournament game at Wrigley in front of a small gathering of family and friends and he also saw a game as a fan while he was playing for Class A South Bend.
"We won that Perfect Game tournament in Atlanta and got invited up here," Owings said. "So we just came up here and played one game. It was a pretty cool experience. It's going to be a lot different playing here. I'm just excited about getting here getting underway."
When he arrived at the visitor's clubhouse and checked the lineup Monday, Owings did a double take.
For the first time this year, he was hitting in the leadoff spot.
"Surprised when I came to the field today, but I'm just going to take it and have good at-bats up there," Owings said. "Obviously, a little different being the first guy up there, but not going to change anything from my perspective too much. Definitely get some more pitches to hit rather than hitting in the eight-hole. I'm excited about it. It's a good sign for sure."
Usually against left-handed pitchers it's A.J. Pollock who hits leadoff, but Pollock is out with an injured neck and the other leadoff option -- Gerardo Parra -- was given a day off. Though if Owings seems to take to the role, it might not just be a short-term deal.
"We don't have a prototypical leadoff hitter," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "He was swinging the bat pretty good and I thought he'd be a good guy to set the table and get on base for us."

- Morgan Dollars from the Carson City Mint have a "CC" mintmark.
The Morgan Dollar was a part of everyday currency in America for almost 80 years. Add this 1881-CC Morgan Dollar to your cart today!
The U.S. Treasury discovered previously unknown mint bags of Carson City Morgan Silver dollars in its vaults estimated around 2.8 million Silver dollars in total. The Morgan Silver dollar was largely produced due to the European flooding of the market with Silver coupled with the huge Silver resources in the Nevada Territory, such as the Comstock Lode, placing enormous pressure on Silver prices. In order to prop U.S. Silver prices, Silver miners convinced the U.S. government to purchase their Silver and manufacture it into Silver dollars. Due to their large size, many Americans did not wish to carry these Silver dollars which forced the government to store millions of these coins in government vaults.
These coins had been forgotten since they were thought to have been melted due to the Pittman Act of 1918. The Pittman Act of 1918 had 270,232,722 Morgan Silver dollars melted and converted into Silver bullion with 259,121,554 being sold to Great Britain and 11,111,168 for subsidiary Silver coinage. The Treasury officials held back these newly found Carson City Morgan Silver dollars, often referred to as the Government Services Administration Hoard, due to their low mintages and rarity.
On December 31, 1970, legislation passed to sell the Carson City Silver dollars through the Government Services Administration via a mail bid sale. Each uncirculated Silver coin was sorted and mounted in a small plastic display case. Each coin came with a certificate of authenticity with an eight digit serial number that started with the last two numbers of the date of the coin. Circulated Morgan Silver dollars and Peace Silver dollars were sealed in plastic, often referred to as soft packs.
The GSA conducted seven mail bid sales between 1972 and 1980 and sold all the Carson City Morgan Silver dollars from the GSA Hoard. Buyers could bid on individual years by sending in an order form and check. Buyers had to pay up for Silver dollars with lower mintages. Some bids were not deemed high enough, and the government issued checks to reimburse buyers for the amount they had sent in with their order form.
Later, coin dealers who sold the Silver dollars found the plastic GSA holders to be bulky and bothersome when it came to transferring them back and forth to coin shows. So, they removed the Silver dollars out of their GSA holders and sold them individually to collectors. This resulted in the increase of rarity for GSA Holdered Silver dollars. Two of the main grading services, Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) and Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), preserve the integrity of the holders when the coins are submitted to their grading services. PCGS uses a gasket and plastic encapsulation that surrounds the original GSA Holder keeping it protected. NGC uses a ribbon sticker and a holographic sticker that allows the GSA Holder to fit in the original presentation box.

Pain Management
Pain Behind My Knee
Over the weekend I was sitting on a raft chair and I went to get off the raft and all of the sudden the area behind my knees from the lower thigh to mid-calf started spasming, with the most intense pain behind my knees. This went on for atleast 12 - 15 minutes. I couldn`t move my legs at all. When it finally subsided, I managed to get to the dock and climb the ladder. The rest of the day my legs hurt some in the same area, but the next day the area was worse and today the area feels even more sore. Although the pain isn`t as bad if I am still, it is really bad if I get up or when I first start to move. If I touch the area where the muscle meets the ligament or tendon behind my knees it is very tender and to move really intensifys the pain. I am just wondering what caused this and what I can do to heal this and alleviate the pain?

Researchers sign-up to keep up-to-date on funding opportunities, activities and Epilepsy Foundation events.
Letter of Intent due: July 21, 2017, 11:59 PM ET
If LOI is accepted, APPLICATION is due: September 25, 2017, 11:59 PM ET
The Epilepsy Innovation Seal of Excellence awards are, like New Therapy Commercialization Grants (NTCG), designed to accelerate the advancement of research from the laboratory to the patient. SEALs are provided to academic and commercial groups worldwide. The program seeks to advance the development of new therapies including but not limited to medicines, biologics or devices. All proposals must demonstrate a clear path from the lab to the patient and are evaluated with consideration for their potential value to patients, likelihood of successful development including regulatory approval and the timeframe of development. Drug development may be stimulated at the early phases leading to an IND.
The Epilepsy Innovation Seal of Excellence award is not primarily a grant program. The program provides a competitive, in-depth review by the Scientific and Business Advisory Boards and an actual SEAL that may be used by the awardee to generate interest in the project. The applicants will typically have a research budget of between $1 and $5M for the overall project--amounts that currently exceed the resources of the Epilepsy Foundation. The Epilepsy Foundation will assist the awardees in finding funds for the selected projects.
Epilepsy Innovation Seal of Excellence Award
Applicants must demonstrate background work beyond the basic science discovery stage. Applications are accepted for a wide range of products; projects in drug development must be at least pre-IND, with outstanding promise, usually from animal models.
Areas of interest include:
Novel approaches to treatment.
Platform technology to advance screening techniques that can be utilized by multiple laboratories, including utility of techniques for early proof-of-concept trials.
Adaptation of treatment in development for another therapeutic area to assess utility for epilepsy (while maintaining patent protection).
All proposals will be evaluated by our Business and Scientific Advisory Boards, as described below:
Proposals are rated on the likelihood of success by the Business Advisory Board as:
Intellectual Property Strategy & Status; Freedom To Operate
Can this Get to Patients: Investment Potential & Likelihood of Ongoing Funding Support
Probability of Success / Time Factor
Fit with Program Mission / Patient Impact
Overall Impression
Proposals are rated on the likelihood of success by the Scientific Advisory Board as:
Quality of Science
Probability of Successful completion of milestones / outlined program
Timeframe of Success
Fit with Program Mission / Impact on Patients
Overall Impression
These grants are awarded primarily to programs that have progressed beyond the basic science discovery stage. Programs that seek to develop potential drugs should have identified at least one lead compound, which may be at the pre-IND stage, in order to be competitive for a New Therapy Commercialization Grant. Investigators of drugs are strongly advised to have their compounds screened, as appropriate, by the NINDS ETSP Program. Investigators are expected to have an established record of achievement in the area. Full intellectual property (IP) rights (composition of matter) are preferred over method of use IP.
Clinical programs must have a reasonable protocol and sample size to assure that the results will be meaningful; studies of patients should describe the type of seizure/epilepsy that will be investigated. Investigators proposing a clinical trial should include the protocol in the appliation materials. If another entity, such as a pharmaceutical company, is providing partial funding support or in-kind contribution to the study (such as study drug and/or placebo), please provide a letter of support detailing the agreed upon funding or resources provided. Device programs should present novel concepts for treatment. Applicants should apply for the amount needed to complete the project or the project phase to complete the project. Detailed budgets are encouraged.
Confidential information should NOT be sent to the Epilepsy Foundation or provided in any grant application without advance discussion with the Epilepsy Foundation and only with appropriate confidentiality agreements.
Scientific questions about appropriateness of an application should be directed to Brandy Fureman, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Investigators must submit a
Letter of Intent by
July 21, 2017 by 11:59 pm ET.
The deadline for receipt of
full Grant proposals is
September 25, 2017 by 11:59 pm ET.
Full proposals will be accepted
only from Investigators whose
Letter of Intent was approved.

A MAN was assaulted with a metal bar and thrown into the canal in Blackburn.
Police are appealing for information after the man was attacked as he walked along the path between St Mary's Wharf and Asda.
The 22-year-old was approached by two men, thought to be aged between 25 and 30 years.
One of the men began to hit him with the bar of metal, while the other man held him back.
He was then thrown into the canal and the offenders ran away in the direction of Mill Hill.
The victim suffered a cut to his head and bruising and swelling to one of his eyes.
Both men are described as white and aged 25-30. The first was around 5ft 6/7ins tall, wearing a dark green, long-sleeved turtle neck top and black balaclava. The second was around 5ft 10ins tall and was wearing a grey, nylon, waterproof hoody with a blue arrow on the front and blue joggers.
Police believe that the assault, which happened at around 6pm on Tuesday, was witnessed by a man on a red bike and are keen to hear from him.
DC Tricia Sowerbutts said: "This was a nasty and seemingly unprovo-ked assault. If anybody has any information about it, I would urge them to contact us.
"In particular I am keen to trace the man on the red bike. If this is you, or you think you know who this may have been, please come forward."
Anyone with informa-tion should telephone 0800 555 111.

The Nelscott Reef Big Wave Challenge is back.
Last year, for the first time, organizers had to break the streak of six consecutive big wave surfing contests held at the break off the coast of Oregon's Lincoln City. But a new streak was started Thursday when the contest was given the green light to run Saturday on waves predicted to produce 30-foot-plus faces.
The contest will also be celebrating its foray onto the Big Wave World Tour. It will serve as the third and final event of the 2012-13 BWWT season.
"We're looking at 30- to 30-plus-foot faces," said Rusty Gibson, BWWT contest operations manager. "Conditions look like they'll be good for really progressive big wave surfing. The wave at Nelscott allows you to do a lot of open face maneuvers. It's not just the big drop and scary stuff you see at Maverick's, but also wide open maneuvers. It'll break for a long time, and you'll see guys integrating shortboard techniques on big guns and big waves."
That's good news for Santa Cruz native Peter Mel, who will be competing in the event. Mel, the 2011-12 BWWT champion, won the Mavericks Invitational at the break near Half Moon Bay earlier this month in part because he did more than just drop into his rides.
Mel's win at Maverick's was heralded in part because he was one of the original surfers of the break and the contest. He has a similar history at Nelscott Reef. He and fellow Santa Cruz surfer Adam Replogle became the first pair to tow surf the wave -- long before it was believed to be fit for paddle surfing.
"Experience doesn't necessarily help you," Mel said. "You need a little bit of luck and to be able to read the swell that day."
If Mel can succeed at that, he has a slim chance at winning a second BWWT title. After the Mav's win, he ranks third in the tour standings behind Greg Long of San Clemente, and Carlos Burle of Brazil.
Mel will travel to the contest with Long and Long's brother, Rusty. Burle will not compete after injuring his shoulder shortly after winning the 2012-13 BWWT opener at Pico Alto in Peru.
Who else will be competing, as BWWT Operations Manager Scott Eggers put it, "really is a moving target right now."
The remote location -- two hours south of Portland and a 12-hour drive north from Santa Cruz -- and a $1,000 entrance fee have caused some invitees to shy away from the event. Ken "Skindog" Collins of Santa Cruz, who is fourth in the BWWT rankings, said he would not be attending the event. Gibson said he believed Santa Cruz's Zach Wormhoudt, who is in fifth after taking second at the Mavericks Invitational, would be attending. Wormhoudt could not be reached for comment.
Others Gibson confirmed or believed to be competing include: Australians Ben Wilkinson and Jamie Mitchell, Hawaii's Jamie Sterling, Ben Andrews of San Francisco, brothers Will and Cliff Skudin of New York, Joao de Macedo of Portugal, Marcos Monteiro of Brazil, and Felipe Ceserano of Peru.
According to BWWT rules, the 12 highest-seeded surfers who make the trip -- and pay the entrance fee -- will be allowed to compete in the contest.
Mel said he isn't excited about having to contribute to the prize purse, but he sees it as an investment in the event and the sport of big wave surfing.
"I'm hoping to give back to this tour and get some backing for fledgling big wave riders coming up," he said.
There will be no webcast of the event. For contest updates and photos, visit the Sentinel's website at www.santacruzsentinel.com

More opinion

Goat Expo set first October weekend
More Ag News
They are familiar faces around North Platte. They both had businesses downtown for years and both recently sold their establishments.
Webb was a regular at the Expresso Shoppe and over time became friends with Mooney. Mooney eventually told Webb stories about the fishing adventures of her and her sister. Webb was intrigued.
"I have fished on and off for years", Mooney said. "It became a heavy pastime for me two summers ago when my dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He taught me how to fish and fishing is something he really enjoyed.
Mooney went on to say that her father was quite an avid fisherman. He had fished in Washington, Florida, California, Wyoming, Colorado, Alaska, the Gulf of California in Mexico and in Canada. Mooney and her sister, Shelly, would take their dad fishing at least one a week as long as he was able.
For me, I was looking for something to do after I retired", Webb said. "Listening to Terrie, fishing sounded interesting. I remember fishing as a kid, with my grandparents. I was probably 7-10 years old at the time. I really hadn't done much fishing since and I thought I wanted to try it again."
Webb had talked with me about fishing a while back and I got him lined up with some basic gear. Since then, he and Mooney had been fishing a few local spots.
"I don't know why my sister and I continued to fish", added Mooney. "Maybe it was a tribute to our father, but we went fishing every week, every Tuesday. We spent the summer fishing lakes listed in the Nebraska Game and Parks fishing guide. We fished a lot of spots in Lincoln and Keith counties, too."
I wanted to introduce Mooney and Webb to one of my favorite types of fishing...jigging pole fishing for smallmouth bass in the canal east of town.
Mooney, Webb and I met up recently and took advantage of the mild fall weather. We traveled a few miles east of the town and I introduced them to jig fishing. The telescoping poles reach out from the bank and you simply drift your bait a few feet out from the rocks. A small bobber tells you when a hungry smallmouth grabs your lure.
It didn't take long and Webb had a fish. Mooney hooked up with a scrappy smallmouth a few minutes later. The next couple of hours were like this. Mooney would catch a fish, then Webb. The smallmouth cooperated quite well.
"I like these jigging poles", Webb said. "They are very easy to use and a convenient way to fish. I do like the longer pole so I can reach out a bit further."
"They are so simple to use", Mooney added. "No line to tangle, very portable and light weight. I never fished with a cane pole before so this was interesting."
To me it is about being outside Webb said. For 40 years I was indoors making a career, building a business. Now, I just want to be outdoors, doing something. Fishing with these jigging poles...takes me back to when I was fishing as a kid.
I just love fishing, Mooney interjected. I find a sense of peace. I think I got to know a piece of my self that I didnt know existed. Now, I cant wait to fish. I want to learn more and Ive even started watching fishing on TV.
How do you add anything to a statement like that? Good luck to you, Terrie and Steve, on all your future fishing adventures.
Predator hunting
Tinks has been a well known name in deer scents for a long time, but did you know that made scents to help out predator hunters? The companys new Coyote Mist spray is designed to bring in shy coyotes. It is formulated with natural urine. The scent will not only lure coyotes within range, but it stops them in their tracks affording you a better shot. The 4-ounce bottle has a spray top allowing mist to drift downwind to stick to vegetation.
Tinks Rabbit Mist is made from rabbit urine. If you are going after coyotes, why not use a scent that is made from a coyotes number one food source? This scent is perfect to use with decoys and calling. The rabbit lure adds one more level of realism to your setup, and sometimes that is what it takes to get a wary coyote. Like the Coyote Mist Predator Lure, Tink's Rabbit Mist Predator Lure stops predators in their tracks. Its spray top will let the mist drift downwind for the best performance.
One more rabbit enticer is Tinks Predator Smokin Sticks. They burn like an incense stick and are designed to smell like rabbits. Once light, each stick smokes for 15 to 20 minutes. Scented smoke gets down range farther and faster than other scent-dispersal methods. Each package contains 10 sticks. Just remember to use these wisely in dry conditions.

Officials: Barton does not purchase drugs from company linked to fungal meningitis outbreak
October 12, 2012
Barton Health issued a statement Thursday stating it does not purchase drugs from the New England Compounding Center, the company accused of selling contaminated steroid injections that have reportedly caused fungal meningitis.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, there have been 137 persons with fungal meningitis reported to be linked to epidural steroid injections of the steroid, methylprednisolone and 12 related deaths. The contamination of these epidural injections was the result of contamination by NECC, a single compounding pharmacy in Massachusetts.
"Barton Memorial Hospital does not purchase any drugs from NECC nor, for the nine-years that I have been the Director of Pharmacy, has the hospital ever purchased any drugs from that company," Barry Keil, PharmD, director of pharmacy services for Barton Health stated in a recent memo. "The epidural steroids provided by the hospital pharmacy and used at Barton Hospital, come directly from the drug manufacturer and are not pre-prepared by an outside compounding pharmacy [such as the NECC]."
Persons with Meningitis linked to the epidural steroid injections been reported in Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Virginia, with Tennessee having the highest case count and death rate. The CDC reported this form of meningitis is not contagious. Along with the Food and Drug Administration, the CDC is coordinating a multistate investigation of fungal meningitis among patients who received an epidural steroid injection with a potentially contaminated product.
"The NECC company prepares compounded drugs, including epidural drugs, in large quantities and ships them across the United States to physician practices and hospital pharmacies," Keil said. "Please rest assured, that no epidural injections of steroids or other drugs administered at Barton Memorial Hospital are involved in this event, and there is no risk of having received an epidural of a contaminated drug at any Barton facility."
For more information on the recall or facilities that received the epidural steroid injection and patient guidance, visit http://www.CDC.gov.

Personally, I always liked the prayer from that great philosopher and Firefly-class transport captain, Captain Malcolm Reynolds:
Dear Buddha, please bring me a pony and a plastic rocket...
I'm partial to Janis Joplin's song "Mercedes Benz". Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz, my friends all drive porsches, I must make amends......Oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV. Dialing for dollars is trying to find me. I wait for delivery each day until 3....
How about a good christian prayer: O god, please do exactly what you were going to do anyway, since that's exactly what you always do anyway! Amen
Nice one. Post it to the site! :)
Variations on: "Since when do you listen to me anyway?"
Sentient, but not omnipresent. Sometimes barely present. But like the tortoise, eventually I find my way. Thanks!
Dear God, if it be thy will please let me comment on this, but don't let me comment if it is not thy will. Oh, the wonderful power of prayer!
Supplicant: "Dear God. I want to live to be 110 years old."
God: "My son, a million years to you is like a minute to me."
Supplicant: "Well, can you at least give me a billion dollars."
God: "Yeah. In a minute."
Just another fancy way of saying, fuck you, sucker!
This cracked me up.
I submitted a prayer. We'll see if god, in his mercy and infinite wisdom, answers.

BURLINGTON, Mass. — Ikea and 89 Degrees, a marketing solutions provider, will give a presentation on the company's loyalty program at this years' Customer Relationship Management Conference Tuesday, June 18, at the Hilton, Chicago.
89 Degrees helped the company leverage Big Data to drive its omnichannel marketing,
Ikea U.S. loyalty program manager Diane Zoll and 89 Degrees VP of strategic marketing services Laura Saati will present "The Ikea Family: How the Ikea loyalty program, Family, drives sales, creates engagement and delivers relevance for their customers" at the annual event aimed at retail marketers.
Live for less than two years across its 38 U.S. locations, Family now has nearly 4 million members. Powering the program is 89 Degrees' Loyalty 2.0 approach, focused on reaching customers on their own terms, at every possible point of contact. 89 Degrees' engagement scoring methodology helps companies see who their omnichannel customers are and how they buy.
"Not only are there now millions of members, but they are highly engaged in the program through this omnichannel approach," said Zoll. "89 Degrees plays a key role in the success of Ikea Family, which is re-defining how we think about Loyalty at Ikea, and taking it to a whole new level."
With this Loyalty 2.0 approach, Ikea has delivered its customers a program that recognizes all the ways they buy — from a catalogue to a click to a store visit — and gives them benefits they value. In this CRMC session, the presenters will give an overview of Family, why Ikea found it appealing, how Ikea keeps the program fresh and distinctive and how Ikea is using rich omnichannel data to drive sales and deliver relevance to their customers.
"We've been amazed at the response to Ikea Family and gratified that the Loyalty 2.0 experience we've designed has been able to dramatically increase engagement as we use Big Data to better understand and enrich their customer experience. It is a story we are proud to share," added Saati.
The CRMC brings retailers together to openly share their marketing and CRM strategies, ideas and challenges in a casual environment. Attendees represent more than 150 retail chains
Along with Ikea, 89 Degrees' clients include Hhgregg, Hyundai, Kia, Tractor Supply, Hotelera Posadas, Genzyme, Geox and Uno Chicago Grill.

Plastic surgery is a constantly evolving art, as well as science. Patients deserve to benefit from advances in techniques and technology as well as the best of what has come before. In my practice, I have evaluated and refined both new and older techniques to offer my patients a customized and effective solution to their facial aging and body contouring concerns. My philosophy has always been to give the same level of care to my patients that I would expect for my own family. This starts with concern for you as a person and awareness of the sensitive and personal nature of cosmetic surgical interventions for healthy people. I want you to understand the nature of your treatments, and give you choices after explaining things in words you can understand. I spend as much time as necessary to give you the very best results, in the operating room and in the office. This means one or more unhurried consultations and time for you to have all your questions answered. I really enjoy explaining things and having my patients participate fully in the educational process. I want to be seen as your doctor, as well as your plastic/cosmetic surgeon. This approach has worked well over the twenty plus years of my plastic surgery practice, to build trust and long-term relationships with my patients, and generate the word-of-mouth referrals that make up the majority of my patients.
All patients are seen personally by Dr. Lowen for their cosmetic and reconstructive surgery consultations. Our friendly staff will help you with all administrative and scheduling matters. Cosmetic consultations are free.

An analytical look at what we've learned about the meek Southeastern Conference in the first two months of the season — they've been pummeled by their peers (3-6 vs. ACC, 2-5 vs. Big 12, 2-4 vs. Big Ten, 4-13 vs. Big East, 4-5 vs. Pac-12) — and how the race shapes up as league play opens this week:
Florida. There's a lot to love about the Gators (the powerful Patric Young in the post, Erik Murphy as the ideal stretch-4, depth, wings scorers and veteran shooters. However, as the loss at Arizona proved, this team does not have a point guard on the roster. Can Scottie Wilbekin and Braxton Ogbueze be 'just OK'? If so, Florida could win the SEC and reach the Final Four.
Missouri. The Tigers are a work in progress. Coach Frank Haith is mixing in six transfers, a star player coming off ACL surgery and a dynamic point guard playing without his sidekick. Still, the Tigers' only losses are to No. 3 Louisville and at desperate UCLA in overtime. If Phil Pressey shoots less and passes more to Laurence Bowers and if somebody develops into a dependable (boy, they sure do miss Michael Dixon), Mizzou could well win the SEC in its first year and challenge for its first-ever Final Four.
Kentucky. No team in college basketball has more lottery picks, has more pure talent, has a higher upside. So that's a good place to start. Still, John Calipari has a tough job ahead. As in, UK is 1-4 against probable NCAA teams. Calipari must teach Alex Poythress how to play hard, must get Ryan Harrow to believe he's good enough, must develop Nerlens Noel's post game, must find someone on the bench worthy of playing time.
— Conference resets: Atlantic 10 | Big 12 | Big Ten | Big East | ACC | Pac-12 | C-USA | West Coast | Missouri Valley
Arkansas. It's hard to get a read on the Hogs. They've been handled easily by the four good teams they faced and otherwise have played cupcakes. Still, with elite scoring guard B.J. Young and power forward Marshawn Powell rounding into his double-double shape after a year away (torn ACL), Arkansas can score the ball nicely. Can the stop somebody? Coach Mike Anderson's version of the '40 Minutes of Hell' defense lacks teeth; the Hogs rank No. 162 in kenpom.com's defensive efficiency ratings.
Tennessee. In the summer, there was good reason to believe the Vols could contend this year behind perhaps the two best power players in the SEC, Jeronne Maymon and Jarnell Stokes. It hasn't turned out as forecasted. First, Maymon has been slow to recover from a knee injury and will redshirt. And inexcusably, shoot-first guards Trae Golden and Jordan McRae have yet to commit to getting Stokes the ball with any consistency.
Ole Miss. Perhaps not major college team has played a softer schedule. There is one win over a top 100 team (Rutgers) but two losses (Middle Tennessee State and Indiana State). Still, Rebels are running — 83.1 points per game, fifth-best in Division I — behind Marshall Henderson and Murphy Holloway. Ole Miss will win its share of SEC games but with such a weak non-conference schedule, they'll have to do better than that to merit an NCAA bid.
LSU. When your best win is over Seton Hall, when your second-best win is over Northwestern State ... no wonder fans already are thinking first and foremost about spring football. First-year coach Johnny Jones has some building blocks and we'll know Saturday (at home vs. Florida) whether they're players or pretenders.
Alabama. It's hard to believe for a team with guards Trevor Releford and Trevor Lacey could lose five of six, including games to Mercer and Tulane. Sure, the Tide miss Carl Engstrom and Andrew Steele. Still. Mercer? Tulane?
Texas A&M. The Aggies are No. 55 in the RPI, proving that stats can lie. Best win? Northwestern State.
Georgia. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope sure is fun to watch. He might well be the best athlete in the college basketball. At least there's that.
Auburn. This team couldn't score 50 against Boston College, couldn't beat DePaul at home, could beat Winthrop at home but took No. 12 Illinois to the wire on the road (81-79 loss) on Dec. 29. Yeah, we don't understand it, either.
Vanderbilt. The Commodores scored only 33 against Marist and failed to hit 53 five times already this season. Oh, where have you gone John Jenkins, Jeffery Taylor, Festus Ezeli.
South Carolina. Out of the 347 Division I teams, the Gamecocks have played the 345th-toughest schedule, according to the RPI's strength of schedule formula, and yet have three losses and their second-best player, LaShay Page, just flunked out of school.

Mississippi State. Poor, Rick Ray. After 15 years as a top assistant and he finally get a head coaching gig. And this is what he gets? A depleted roster that can't score (No. 294 in offensive efficiency) and hardly can stop anybody (No. 100 in defensive efficiency), all against the 273rd-ranked schedule.

Oh, deer! Time to talk turkey about urban wildlife
EUGENE, Ore. - Ginny Cramer worries that the wild turkeys that cross busy West Eugene intersections every day pose a real safety hazard.
"Not only are they going to get killed, but I worry about the major accident," Cramer told KVAL News. "That's what i worry about. We slow down to a point, but we don't know which ways these turkeys are going to go."
Reports of turkey sightings are no longer confined to the fringes of Eugene.
From downtown to the Churchill area and east into Springfield, gangs of turkeys flock together in yards, in streets and empty lots - basically, wherever they please.
"I understand that there's a big, huge population of turkeys in Eugene," Cramer said, "but why can we not do anything about it?"
KVAL News took tat concern to the offices of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in Springfield - and a block from downtown Springfield, a news crew found a dead fawn on the side of the road.
"It's always sad to see animals struck by vehicles, especially if it causes suffering to the animal," said Brian Wolfer, biologist with ODFW.
Wolfer said wild animals are part of what makes the forested areas around town desireable for homeowners.
And while breathtaking in their natural environment, on the roads, these animals can take your breath away, too: Deer like to cross the roads at dusk and in the dark.
That's a danger for motorists who "overreact and cause a secondary accident trying to avoid the animal, and those can be quite dangerous, too," Wolfer said.
The risk comes with the real estate in Eugene and Springfield.
"We've been able to do some of our development and housing in and amongst the natural setting, so, when you do that, preserve those natural habitats, you're going to have wildlife that lives there," he said.
Wolfer said it's not so much that urban sprawl has pushed people into the wildlife's habitat. Instead, deer and turkey prefer the company of city folk to, say, coyotes.
"You don't have the same level of predation that you would have in a rural setting," he explained. "You don't have the hunting seasons. You don't have some of the other mortality factors influencing the animals."
And people in town are literally feeding the problem, Wolfer said.
"When people feed the animals, it allows for a higher density than the habitat there should support," he said.
But without a law against feeding wildlife in either Eugene or Springfield, the practice is hard to stop. ODFW hands out documents to homeowners that encourage them not to feed the wildlife.
Concerns include overpopulation and the spread of disease.
Safety for people and pets factors in, too.
"My wife's dog got smacked by a doe," Wolfer said. "When you have a dow with a young fawn, and a dog comes up and approaches them, she's looking at it as a potential predator and she might get aggressive and attack it."
Wolfer said common sense is the best approach.
"Don't feed the wildlife, watch out for them when you're driving, but leave them alone," he said. "They will be there. And you will get to see them, and you won't contribute to some of those nuissance problems and overpopulations if you're not feeding them."

I posted this on the LAVA forums, but I thought I might as well post this here as well.
I have never been to NI week, so I have to ask some potentially silly
questions. What exactly is the conference section of NI week? Is it
worth it for someone that doesn't know much about Labview? Here are
the registration choices I am looking at:
Full Conference: Includes three-day conference and exhibition admission, meals, exhibition receptions, and evening events.
Expo Plus Pass: Includes access to keynotes and exhibition hall plus all meals, receptions, and evening events.
Exhibition Pass: Includes access to keynotes and exhibition hall only.
The Full Conference pass is about $900 more than the Expo Plus Pass, so I need to think wisely on if I should get access to the conference. I'm guessing it is a lot of info sessions. I can attend all three days. Would I need all three days if I were to get the Expo or Exhibition pass (i.e. are there enough keynotes and exhibition booths to keep me from being bored)? Are the receptions and evening events worth the extra $300? Networking is great, but as far as I know at the moment, I would be casually networking.
If it helps, my goals are to learn more about Labview from the perspective of someone having a couple months of experience with it as well as learn how Labview goes from prototype to production level. I will not need to personally develop anything that goes into production, though I will need Labview for prototyping and testing. Any advice on choosing the right pass would be greatly welcomed!
*Just saw that there's a Sessions Only pass on the Preliminary NI week program (includes sessions, keynotes, etc. but no conference). So now I am further confused on what the actual conference is!
You can download the preliminary program to see what's in it.
The exhibition is like a trade show floor with many companies showing their products. You might even score some swag such as pens, t-shirts, bags, or candy. Of course NI has the largest and most central exhibit, showing all the new technologies with live demos. There are several places to network with others.
The keynotes are are like magic shows and suitable even if you are not in the industry. They are the first thing in the morning in the big hall. Afterwards attendees split up for the sessions of specific interest.
The "Exhibition Pass" is probably mostly for locals that live nearby and have a peripheral interest and just come for the spectacle.
The "Expo Plus Pass" is typically for spouses. For example my wife (Which is not in the industry) attends the keynotes and comes with me to all evening events.
The real conference happens in the techical sessions upstairs. Just my opinion. There are beginner tracks and quite advanced tracks.
Study the preliminary program and look at the videos from past conferences to get a better feeling.
As far as learning Labview goes, I think I will forgo the sessions this time and invest in the Core 1 and Core 2 classes instead. That being said, would only 1 day be sufficient for someone with the exhibition pass?
Haha! I didn't notice that it didn't include the social events. You might be right. Thanks for your replies so far.

I found these quirky 1950's wooden cork coasters at an opshop earlier this year. They're quite amusing and I couldn't resist buying them. You should be able to read them all. The one that is very faded says "If you're so smart, why ain't you rich?"

DELTONA, Fla. - Volusia County deputies have charged the Deltona firefighter who they have referred to as a "serial rapist" with another sexual battery charge on Tuesday after a new victim came forward.
Terry Freeman, 32, of Deltona, was arrested Dec. 31 after a woman claimed she was raped by him after they met at a Sanford furniture store, sparking a string of victims saying Freeman attacked them as well.
On Tuesday, investigators filed charges related to an attack on a 27-year-old Orange City woman, who came forward on Monday to report the incident, according to deputies.
The victim told deputies she met Freeman at a college class in November and agreed to meet Freeman at his house to study with him.
According to VCSO, the victim said she made it clear to Freeman that they were only going to study and that there would be no "funny business."
When she arrived at the house, the victim said that Freeman called her to the bedroom, saying he wanted to show her something and when she went there, she said Freeman grabbed her by the hair, pushed her onto the bed and tried to pull her pants down, according to the report.
The victim told deputies Freeman also exposed himself during the struggle and tried to get her to perform a sex act on him. She eventually was able to fight back and break free from Freeman's grasp and get out of the bedroom, VCSO said.
At least eight victims have come forward so far. Three of the eight came forward, claiming they were sexually assaulted under similar circumstances, prompting deputies to arrest Freeman shortly after he was freed from jail, where he was held on the first charge.
VCSO has charged Freeman for four of the eight victims. Orange City Police Department filed a complaint affidavit with the state attorney's office for a fifth victim. Charges against Freeman are pending in the complaints of the other three victims.
Freeman has been placed on a leave of absence with the Deltona Fire Department.
Anyone with information about other incidents is urged to call the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.
