They're the reality TV couple known for their cringeworthy costumes and pun-laden love tributes.
And Thursday was no exception for Georgia Love and Lee Elliott, the pair wearing matching denim outfits to promote Genes for Jeans Day this Friday.
Sharing the snaps to his Instagram, Lee gushed the pair were 'channeling our inner Justin & Britney' by wearing the 'Canadian tuxedos'.
The couple that dresses together stays together! The Bachelorette's Georgia Love and Lee Elliott wear matching denim outfits in cute photoshoot for Jeans for Genes Day
In the two photos, Lee and Georgia pose barefoot in coordinating denim jeans and jackets.
In one photo the former Hobart journalist poses jauntily by her mechanical beau's side, placing an arm affectionately on his shoulder.
Another picture shows Lee giving Georgia a piggy back as they both laugh giddily for the camera.

moron u cudda warned us about the flashing lights my bro almost got a seizure from it.
I'm actually pretty sorry that your brother almost got a seizure.
Unfortunately, I do not take any responsibility for doing anything wrong. If your brother is prone to epileptic seizures someone should screen what he's going to watch before he watches it. My apologies anyhoo.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
very nice movie, but i can see some faults...
ok first im gonna tell u the faults i picked up....
when the guy was walking towards the castle, he walked really wonkie-where as he dosnt walk wonkie in the rest of the shots ( i know its hard to make a guy walk at you, but still) and the parts where he stabs the girl in the coffin, she turns into particles, and it doesnt look very good, i think theres tonnes of improvement neesed for that. and the skeletons, they just dont suit the film, they looked cool, but not for this movie! and when he was shooting them, i could instantly recognise the explosions from the software tool "game maker". and the explosions didnt suit the film either. and, i think that he killed everything too easily, cmon, its dracula here!!
but, with these faults, i still lovedthe look of the film with the smoke effects, they were brilliant. and the hole black and white thing really gave a mood to the film. the music was good but, it kept looping throughout the film! it got so annoying!! --well great film overall but just needs a bit of polish.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
ok, but heeps of room for improvement
well, you got some nice graphics there, but the stick figure really doesnt move well atall, and stick figures nees good movement to make them any good. some views make him look kinda weird, and he doesnt walk too nicely. when he jumped out of the building, the building was just a box! everything else was detailed except that bit. it seems that you rushed it towards the end. and lol wats with the lasers on there feet? I dont get it.

Keegan's Truck 2
Rated 2 / 5 stars
it was ok but too fast and roughly planned out
it was too roughly planned out, it was just a little poor. spend more time on the animation and slow it down! its just too fast and starts to get annoying. the only part i thought was funny though was the part with the men searching for him when they were all on top of each other like a ladder.

Makeup Alley
I've become a huge fan of Makeup Alley and I want to pass this site along to my readers. They have great advice on skin care and make finding product reviews easy. Launched in 1999 as a small community of beauty consumers, they've grown to become one of the largest beauty social networks on the web.
I feel that it's important to offer the best skin care lines to my patients. That means having the best products available, not only according to medical research, but based on patient opinions, as well. In short, your feedback is extremely valuable.
As always, it's important to consult with a physician before starting a new skin care treatment. It can save time, money, and space; Who wants bottles and bottles of ineffective product clogging up their vanity? In some cases, however, topical agents aren't the best course of treatment. If that's the case, I can suggest a more advanced approach to skincare with lasers, lights, and peels.

Good work atmosphere and office location
Bureaucracy of a large organization and people protecting their "turf"
I applied online. I interviewed at Rogers Communications.
I was contacted on Christmas Eve for an application made a few weeks prior. The HR person apparently hadn't read my CV or cover latter and asked me a few questions that I covered extensively in there. I explained my situation again, which they failed to understand (I guess I didn't do a good job but it wasn't actually that complicated). Two phone calls later, they wanted to double check the timeline of the position whether it would be feasible to hire me. They said no, two months is two long after a day and I haven't heard form them again. Two months later, they're still looking...

This invention relates to filters for cleaning dirty solvent in a dry cleaning process to enable the cleaned solvent to be reused.
At the present time, dry cleaning machines are provided with a cylindrical filter housing in which the dirty solvent passes radially inwards through an annular filter unit positioned around a perforate collection tube, which collects the cleaned solvent and carries it axially out of the chamber, and which is also usually used as a tie bar for tightening end walls of the housing into sealing engagement with end plates of the filter unit. Generally, the filter unit is an integral cartridge unit, which is thrown away after use, and which comprises an annular pleated paper element surrounding a perforate tubular core with their ends embedded in or crimped into end plates attached to the ends of the core. Secure sealing between the end plates and the full radial width of the annular pleated element is necessary to avoid solvent bypass over the end edges of the pleats. The end plates have central holes so that the cartrige may be slid over the collection tube when being positioned in the filter housing.
Some filter units are provided with a bed of activated carbon granules (which remove very fine particles such as colored dyes) and/or activated clay granules (which absorb contaminants such as fatty acids). This bed is either provided between the perforate core and paper element, or between the perforate core and a second perforate tubular core and/or annular pleated paper element positioned radially inwardly of the first perforate core. The second core or element would also be embedded in the end plates.
Once the filter cartridge has been slid over the collection tube, a cover plate, forming an end wall of the housing, is used to seal the housing. When a pleated filter element (usually the outer one), or the filter bed, has become saturated, it is necessary to change the filter cartridge for a new one. Disposal of the old filter cartridge involves problems. Thus it will retain solvents which are potentially hazardous and the cylindrical cartridge is bulky and space-consuming. Furthermore, every time a cartridge is disposed of, it is necessary, as a result of the filter having an integral construction, to dispose of the perforate core and end plates at the same time.
Also, it has been found that almost invariably it is the outer pleated element which becomes saturated before the filter bed and, accordingly, the filter bed is disposed of before the end of its useful service life. Some dry cleaning plants have a separate pre-filter unit positioned upstream of the main filter unit so as to lengthen the life of the main pleated element to that of the filter bed, but this modification requires capital expenditure and results in a more complicated operating procedure.
In recognition of these problems, an alternative to the integral filter cartridge has been proposed, but not found acceptable in the industry, in the form of a reusable filter element support which comprises a perforate core with end plates, one of which is removable to allow one or more annular pleated paper elements to be slid over the core before the end plate is resecured. The assembled filter unit is then used in the machine as normal. Prior to use, activated granules may be poured, in loose form, into the annular void between the perforate core and collection tube. However, it has been found that the messy task of pouring in the granules, and removing them when saturated, has discouraged operators from adhering to this part of the recommended method of use, and consequently problems have arisen. Furthermore, the pleated elements have caused a major problem as they are floppy and difficult to manipulate into position. Also, they cannot be embedded in or crimped to the end plates. They have therefore merely been able to rest against the end plates in the hope that, with the provision of a gasket, bypass flow of solvent around their end edges can be discouraged. Even so, sealing along the full length of the edges is difficult and the pressure drop across the paper element inevitably allows some solvent to take the path of least resistance and flow around the end edges and, consequently, a proportion of the solvent is not cleaned properly. A similar leakage flow occurs when two or more elements are held between the end plates and disk-like gaskets are provided between the elements in an attempt to prevent the unwanted leakage.
Filter units used in the dry cleaning process are unusually large for units which use pleated paper elements, being typically 100 mm or more in diameter, and up to 300 mm in length. We have introduced the use of two or more short units instead of one long unit since problems arise owing to dirt building up between the periphery of the unit and the housing wall. It is easier to pull out separately short units instead of attempting to overcome the friction binding of a long unit. When filter units are used in a stacked arrangement in a housing, the diameter of the end plates, and any inter-element gasket discs, and hence the diameter of the paper elements, has had to be less than the internal diameter of the filter housing in order to allow forward flow of solvent along the walls of the housing before flowing radially inwards through the elements, and particularly to allow the reverse flow of dirt which occurs when back-washing the filter units. For back-washing, tapes have to be wrapped around the element to avoid outward bulging of, and potential tearing of, the element.
In other fields, such as in the automotive industry, it has been known to provide annular pleated paper elements (hereinafter referred to as annular, sealed pocket, paper filter elemets) with the pockets which open in the radially inward direction being sealed at their ends by sealing together the end edges of the adjacent pleat walls defining those pockets. The element is then permanently secured at its ends to end plates for use, for example, in a screw-on engine oil filter which is used and then disposed of in total. However, such filter units are much smaller than those used in the dry cleaning process.
In accordance with the present invention, a filter unit comprises a perforate tubular core; an annular, sealed pocket, paper filter element, which is arranged to be removably slid axially onto the core; and sealing means adjacent to each end of the core, each sealing means having an annular gasket for sealing against the adjacent end of the element adjacent to the inner periphery thereof, at least one of the sealing means being removable from the core to allow replacement of the element.
Preferably, at least one of the sealing means has an outer diameter less than that of the element such that the sealing means overlap the adjacent end of the element but leaves the majority of the end of the element unobstructed.
The sealing means at at least one end of the element may be provided by an end wall of the housing, in which the unit will be fitted in use. Preferably, however, both sealing means are provided by end plates, each of which will usually have a central hole to accomodate the conventional collection tube.
The end plates, or other sealing means, do not need to extend across the full radial width of the ends of the filter elements as the pleat seals, which close the ends of the inner pockets, ensure that solvent is not able to bypass around the end edges of the pleats and the gaskets prevent such a bypass flow past the radially inner part of the element. Consequently, an operator may enjoy the cost saving benefits of being able to reuse the filter core and sealing means without having to suffer from the solvent bypass problem inherent in the prior proposal. The sealed pleat construction holds the inner folds of the element closely together at the inner periphery and this assists handling of the elements. It also enables the elements to be stored flat prior to use, expanded to the correct shape for use, and then flattened again for disposal. The ability to do this makes it significantly easier to store new elements and to solve the problem of disposing of a large quantity of used filter elements.
If a series of filter units in accordance with the present invention are stacked upon one another in a filter housing, the filter elements may be made such that they touch or nearly touch the inner wall of the housing since fluid can flow along the channels formed by the open ended outer pleat pockets and pass from the channels of one element to the channels of a neighboring element without being impeded by the end plates or other sealing means, which are of a small enough diameter to allow an annular passage to be formed between themselves and the housing wall. As a result of this, the filter element will have a larger surface area of filtration, through the increase in diameter, and possibly though the provision of extra pleats, than that provided by filter elements used in conventional filter units.
The removable sealing means, when an end plate, may be provided by arranging for this end plate to have lugs which are engageable in respective bayonet slots in the core.
This form of connection may not provide the full contact pressure between the gaskets and elements, but only a connection sufficient for holding the unit together during insertion into, and removal from, a filter housing. The full contact pressure may then be provided when the housing cover is tightened down, e.g. by the collection tube or other tie bar.
If it is intended to use the filter unit of the present invention in arrangements in which two or more filter units are stacked upon one another in the filter housing, one end plate may, on its face remote from the element, be provided with another annular gasket around a central hole for sealing up against an adjacent end plate of the neighboring filter unit, or up against the inner periphery of one end of the element of the neighboring filter unit. In the latter case, one end plate, having annular gaskets on both faces, serves as sealing means for two adjacent filter units. If the one end plate is integral with the core of the filter unit, then the stack of units may be provided with a separate clamp plate (end plate) having an annular gasket to serve as the sealing means at the top of the stack. Even so, there will be a reduction in the number of end plates needed and hence a reduction in the overall cost of the sealing means.
The filter unit may be provided with a prepackaged, removable filter bed which is located around the inside of the core and, e.g., held in position by the end plates. Such a filter bed may contain an homogenous mix of activated carbon granules and/or activated clay granules, or the granule size of the or each component may be arranged so that, when the bed is in the core, the granule size decreases upon moving radially inwards in order to make more effective use of the bed, i.e. the larger of the particles which pass through the filter element are filtered out before the smaller ones. Furthermore, if both types of granule are being used, one type may be positioned radially inwards of the other type, with or without each type having its own gradient of granule size.
The provision of a filter bed in a prepackaged form makes it a relatively clean and simple task to insert or remove one of these beds, and the operator is more likely to use the filter in accordance with the correct operating procedure, i.e. not postpone the changing of the filter bed.
The filter bed may be formed as a hollow cylinder (e.g. having rigid polyurethane end caps) which is slid into the core, or the bed may be flexible, being made with a permeable flexible outer covering containing a loose mass of activated granules. In the latter case, the bed may be made in the form of a rectangular blanket which can be stored flat both before and after use, thereby facilitating pre-use storage and post-use disposal, and which is bent around until two of its opposite edges touch, so that it is in annular form for sliding into the core.
The outer covering may be a woven solvent-resistant fabric and, in order to prevent the filter bed from losing its shape during handling, it may have internal straps or webs, or stitching between opposite faces of the covering.
If it is felt that the filter bed needs some support on its inside, possibly to prevent damage when the assembled filter unit is being slid along a collection tube into the filter housing, a second perforate tubular core may be provided radially inwardly of the outer core, and the filter bed positioned between the two cores.
If a number of filter units are being used in the stacked arrangement in the filter housing, it is possible to have different types of prepackaged filter beds in different ones of the filter units in order to tailor the overall filtration characteristics to suit the operating conditions. For example, in a three stack arrangement, two of the beds could contain an homogenous mix of activated carbon and the other activated clay, having, e.g., a granule size gradient.
The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic side elevation of a first example of a filter unit in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a plan of the unit of FIG. 1; and,
FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic side elevation of a stack of filter units of an alternative design in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the filter unit 1 comprises a hollow metal cylindrical core 2 having a large number of perforations 3, only some of which are shown. An end plate 4 is fixed to the bottom of the core 2 and another end plate 5 is removably attachable to the top of the core 2. The plate 5 has a pair of diametrically opposed lugs 6 which can be engaged in a bayonet fashion with a pair of slots 7 in the top of the core 2. The plates 4,5 are slightly wider than the core 2 and the resulting flange-like portions carry circular gaskets 8 on their inward facing surfaces.
With the end plate 5 removed, an annular paper filter element 9 can be slid over the core 2 until it abuts against the end plate 4. The filter element 9 is pleated and the adjacent individual pleat walls 91 defining the inwardly facing pockets are sealed by seals 92 at their end edges. When the end plate 5 is fitted to the top of the core 2, the two seals 8 press against the radially innermost parts of the pleat walls to ensure that all of the fluid being cleaned must pass through the filter element 9, instead of some of the fluid bypassing the element 9 by flowing between the element 9 and end plates 4,5 directly into the interior of the core 2.
The flexibility of the folds of the pleats 9 enables the paper element 9 to be stored flat prior to and after use, thereby minimizing the storage volume. Immediately prior to use, the filter element 9 is brought to the correct cylindrical shape.
The filter unit may be used with a prepackaged filter bed (not shown) which is inserted inside the core 2 prior to the end plate 5 being fitted. This filter bed is, preferably, in the form of a rectangular slab or blanket comprising a fabric covering containing activated granules. The slab may be stored flat prior to use and then bent into annular shape and slid into the perforate core 2. Therefore, when assembled and in use, the fluid flows radially inwards through the filter element 9, the perforations 3 and filter bed, prior to being collected in a collection tube 23 which passes through holes 10 in the center of the plates 4,5.
A pivoted handle 11 is provided on the end plate 5 in order to facilitate handling of the assembled filter unit. In particular, the handle 11 makes it easier to extract the filter unit from the filter housing.
A resilient sealing gasket 12 is provided around the hole 10 in the end plate 5 so that, if several filter units are being stacked upon one another in the filter housing, the end plates of adjacent units can be sealed to one another to prevent fluid from passing directly into the collection tube 23.
Also, even though the filter elements have been designed to touch the inner wall of the filter housing, there is, as is apparent from FIG. 2, no impediment to axial flow along the housing around the unit as the dirty fluid can pass in channels 13 formed by the outer pleat pockets 91 and, if there is a stacked arrangement in the housing, will not be prevented from flowing along the entire length of the housing by the end plates.
FIG. 3 shows a stack of filter units 1, each having a core 2 and end plate 4 fixed thereto as in the example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2; the filter element 9 of each unit 1 is also similar to that of the earlier example.
The major difference is that the middle and right hand units 1 are not provided with their own removable end plates; instead, they make use of the fixed end plates 4 of the adjacent left hand and middle filter units 1 respectively. The left hand filter unit 1, being at the `top` of the stack, does require an end plate (clamp plate) 5.
The overall construction will be more apparent from the following description of how the stack is assembled.
A housing H (partly shown) has a perforate collection tube 14 rigid and coaxial therewith. A first integral core 2 and end plate 4 are slid along the tube 14 until they abut against a resilient gasket 15. A narrow felt gasket 16 and a filter element 9 are then slid around the core 2 and a prepackaged filter bed 17 having an end cap 18 is slid inside the core 2. The filter element 9 is longer than the core 2, so that, when a wide felt gasket 19 is placed on the exposed end of the element 9, the gasket 19 is not held away from the exposed end, which needs sealing.
A second and third integral core 2 and end plate 4 are then assembled onto the collection tube as outlined above. In this way, the end plate 4 of the middle unit 1 also serves as a removable end plate for the right hand unit 1 so as to seal the ends of the filter element 9 of that unit against its two gaskets 16,19.
The clamp plate 5 is provided to support the wide gasket 19 at the left hand end of the left hand unit 1 and to apply sealing pressure, via a clamp handle 20 screw threadedly wound along the collection tube 14 into abutment through a resilient gasket 21 with the clamp plate 5, to compress the entire stack and thereby seal the ends of all three filter elements 9 against their felt gaskets 16,19.
To disassemble the stack, the clamp handle 20 is wound off the collection tube 14 and a removal cord 22 attached to the fixed end plate 4 of the right hand unit 1 is pulled.

Date of Sighting: 27 Jan., 2000 Location of Sighting: Oakdale, MN Sighting Classification: CE-1 Investigators: Dean & Margaret DeHarpporte Environmental Conditions at time of sighting at the MSP International Airport approximately 15 miles southwest of the sighting location: Temperature 7 deg F. Wind from the south at 7 mph, broken clouds at 10000 ft MSL, visibility >10 miles, dewpoint <-20 F, 4 inches snow on ground, airmass type: modified arctic. Witness Description: Witness is a married male in mid 40s living in a typical suburban ranch style house who wishes to remain anonymous, but may be contacted through the Sighting Investigators. Witness had only passing interest in UFOs and had not read anything on the subject but has an open mind. No other witnesses to the sighting were known; however, there was no attempt to identify correlate witnesses, if any exist. The subjective evaluation of the witness by the investigators was that he was not subject to exaggeration or dramatic embellishments. Sighting Location: Figure 1 shows the vicinity of the sighting in the suburban neighborhood of Oakdale in the northeast quadrant of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. Sighting Description: The witness was up alone (his wife was in bed) at 2330 when he chanced to look out the kitchen window toward the west where there was open brushland extending approx. 800 ft. He saw what appeared to be a private airplane moving toward him approximately 45 degrees above the horizon from the direction of Holman Field (west) approximately 8 miles to the west southwest of his house. However, the craft appeared to move more slowly than the average small plane and as it came closer the witness observed it as a square configuration of lights of a size between that of a small plane and a an average size house (Fig. 2). Two of the lights were white and two were blue, but the witness could not remember which lights were blue or white. The best estimate of the height of the craft when it first appeared was 5000 ft; however, the witness emphasized the uncertainty of his estimate. The witness said the appearance was similar to typical pulsing airplane lights, except that airplane lights are not normally blue and do not normally appear as a square configuration. The lights continued to approach him at approximately 60-90 mph, slowing perceptibly several times but then eventually stopped for 2-3 seconds at an elevation of approximately 60 degrees. The witness stated that he did not think it was possible that he was observing a craft moving directly toward him which might result in the illusion of a stationary craft. It was very difficult to estimate altitude but the witness' best estimate was 1500-2000 ft AGL. The path of the craft is shown in Fig. 3. Between the time the witness first saw the craft and the time it stopped closest to him, it decreased in altitude by approximately 3000 ft. After stopping within a few hundred feet of him, the craft made an abrupt 130 deg turn to the left and moved slowly toward the northwest and then west northwest. The witness opened the patio door and watched the craft until it was out of sight behind the line of trees. The entire duration of the sighting was "a few minutes". No helicopter rotors were visible (which the witness said would have been evident at that distance based on many previous helicopter sightings in the same vicinity). The witness estimated the craft to be as bright as a star (or airplane light). No noise was heard. No unusual sound, no emotions evoked. No "oz factor". Witness thought the craft was a helicopter until the next day when he realized it made no noise, made an abrupt turn, and was lighted unlike any aircraft he had ever witnessed. It was at that time that the witness decided he may have seen a UFO. Sighting Evaluation: Since it approached along the normal flight path from Holman Field, the craft was possibly a helicopter or light aircraft. However, the lack of noise or rotors and that the witness believed that a helicopter could not have executed a discontinuous 130 degree turn argues against that conventional explanation.

Lang INVESTIGATOR1_PHONE: 763-560-1532 INVESTIGATOR1_EMAIL: firstname.lastname@example.com Sighting Background: I was contacted by the witness at the close of the Minnesota MUFON meeting in December 2001, regarding this sighting. I interviewed her in January of 2002. Witness Description: The witness is a 79 year old female. She is a homemaker and retired bank and mortgage clerk. She has extensively followed the UFO phenomenon in the last few years and indicates that she may have had a number of psychic and UFOlogical experiences. Sighting Account: The witness was doing some quick household chores on the main floor of her house at about 10:30 PM. She was momentarily standing on her back porch, which is one floor above ground level, facing southeast. She indicates that she often observes the sky, and at this moment, she looked up and observed a large triangular object nearly due south in the sky at an elevation of about 50 degrees or higher. The object moved out of her view so she ran into her living room, which has a south facing window, and attempted to look up at the object. She was unable to see it due to the overhang of the roof. She thus lost sight of the object at that point. She felt that the total sighting time was under two minutes [CL Estimate: probably less than one minute]. Object Description: She describes the object as being about six times larger than an aircraft would appear at that location. It moved slowly and silently in an east to west path. She did not know the elevation, and thus could not estimate its size, however, its angular size was larger than that of a garage about ˝ blocks away from where she stood [CL estimate, angular size would have been at least that of hand at arms length]. Figure 1: Witness sketch of object [CL Annotation] The object was described as having at least three non- blinking blue lights on each 'wing' and one at the apex. The color was described as dark, but not absolute black. The motion of the object was slow, smooth and silent. Additional Witnesses: None are known. However, the proximity of the witness' location to two major freeways (US Hwy 169 less than 3 miles to the east, and I494 to the west) is very noteworthy. It is possible that a significant number of commuters on these highways could have seen this object. Weather Conditions: Witness describes weather as clear and cool. Detailed weather conditions are not available due to the uncertainty regarding the date. Natural and Manmade Phenomena Check: Null hypothesis: Aircraft at unusually low elevation. The configuration and blue lighting are not consistent with known aircraft. The witness also describes the motion as being much slower than an aircraft. In addition, any aircraft low enough to have that large an apparent size would have been clearly audible. Additional Note: The description of this object is similar to that of several other 'triangle' and 'boomerang' shaped objects observed in the last several years in the Twin Cities Metropolitan area. Consistent themes of these reports are the large size of the object, its slow, smooth movement, and its low altitude. Sighting Evaluation: CE1, unexplained
Date of Sighting: 05 December, 2000 Location of Sighting: Southbound Noble Ave N. at 85th St, Brooklyn Park, MN Type of Report: Triangular object close approach - Fly-by or Close Encounter of the 1st Kind (FB1/CE1) Date of Report: 03 January 2001 Investigator: Craig R. Lang - Minnesota MUFON Local Evaluation: Probable unexplained pending further investigation - Currently seeking more witnesses. Sighting Background: The witnesses contacted MUFON headquarters via e-mail (to email@example.com) on 06 December, 2000, the day after their sighting. The report was immediately forwarded to Minnesota MUFON. I contacted the witness the following day and arranged interview. This report is the result of the interview and my visit to the sighting location. Witness Description: The witnesses are a father and daughter, who live in the northern suburbs of Minneapolis. The father is a systems analyst with a major corporation. The daughter is age 11 and attends grade school. Sighting Account: The witnesses (father and daughter) were driving home from an event that evening, and had just turned south onto Noble Ave. N. in Brooklyn Park, from 85th St. (Click here for map). At 7:40 PM, as they were approximately two blocks south of 85th St., the daughter noticed a large dark object high in the sky, near the moon. She observed it for a second or two. On seeing the shape of the object close to the moon, she concluded that it was not an ordinary aircraft, and called her father's attention to it. The father looked up and also observed the object. He described the object as being high in the windshield, making it somewhat awkward to look up at it. He continued to look up at the object, and pulled the car over to the edge of the road (Noble Ave N.), and they both continued to watch further. As they watched, the object moved from right to left, with a slight motion to the north (behind) as well. Upon pulling over, both witnesses also observed a small momentary leftward "twitch" or "jog" in the object's flight path, which then continued moving smoothly and slowly on its right-to-left path. The initial angle of elevation of the object put it at, or slightly above the top of the windshield. The object moved slowly from high in the south toward the East Northeast. Both witnesses described the object as passing nearly directly overhead. The father moved his head forward until his nose was nearly touching the glass, looking straight up through the windshield He then looked up through the drivers side window as the object appeared on the left side of the car. As they watched, the object moved high overhead, passing nearly directly over their car. They continued to watch the object as it moved off to the east north east, and receded into the eastern sky. At a point where it was low in the eastern sky, a dark object associated with the lights was visible against a distant group of clouds. It was still visible low in the east-northeast at the time the father pulled the car back out onto the road, and they continued toward home. They both estimated that they had observed it for approximately one minute. The following map indicates the location of the witnesses, and the witness-estimated location and direction of the object's flight path. The map indicates the object passing nearly directly overhead of the witnesses. Both witnesses described viewing the object through the windshield during most of the sighting. The father indicated that he moved his head forward, looking nearly straight up at the object, nose nearly touching the glass. (CL Note: The witnesses were in a Ford Focus wagon, which has a large windshield affording a greater than typical viewing angle). The description of the daughter's initial sighting would imply an approximate initial elevation of the object of approximately 45 to 50 degrees elevation. The angle of closest approach is described as being nearly 90 degrees, based upon the witness descriptions of having to move closer to the windshield to look nearly straight up at the object, and the description of the object passing over the car. Thus it is assumed that the object flight path is east-northeasterly, passing nearly directly overhead of the witness' location. The flight motion of the object was described as slow, smooth and continuous, with the possible exception of a slight momentary "jog" (to the left a distance of approximately 2 centimeters at arms length) at the moment in which they pulled to the side of the road. This was observed by both witnesses. The father indicated that at the time he thought that this might have been due to the car tires bumping against the curb. Following the momentary "jog" flight path then continued smoothly to the east-northeast. Object Description: The object was described as triangular, slightly longer than it was wide. At each vertex, there was a yellow to amber light (about the color of a flashlight with the battery depleted), which the father described as being slightly less than 10 times the brightness of the brightest visible star. The lights were a different color than those of a commercial aircraft, and the father felt that they were dimmer. The following drawing is by CL, based upon the witness descriptions. Click here for image of object. Witness size estimates for the object were as follows: (daughter's estimate) equivalent to or slightly larger than the moon. (father's estimates) length of hand at arm's length. He indicated that it was either extremely low or extremely large, and estimated its size to be about that of a 747 - "either very large or flying very low" Weather and Astronomical Factors: Weather info from National WX Service at Chanhassen for 8:00 PM CST: Temp 5 deg F. Dew Pt 6 deg F. Wind speed 8MPH from West Clouds: clear partly cloudy, with high cirrus clouds (no ceiling or percentage cloud cover given) Visibility: unlimited = 10Mi + Lunar/Astronomical data from "The Sky for Windows": Moon was at 68.2% full, at alt: 39 deg, 58 min. Az: 160 deg, 22 min. Moon rise at 2:27PM CST, transit at 8:42PM CST, set at 1:44 AM CST. [CL Note: this would put the moon at a direction of 20 degrees east of south, at about 40 degrees elevation. This would be high in the field of view of the car windshield. This is consistent with the daughter's description of the initial elevation.] Additional Witnesses: None are known. However, both Noble Ave N. and 85th Ave N are heavily travelled, so it is likely that there may have been additional witnesses. In addition, the sighting location is approximately 1 to 2 miles from Minnesota Hwy 252. The intersection of 85th St, and 252 is the location of a large grocery store and strip mall, and has considerable traffic at that time of the evening. In this context, it is also notable that they saw only one car pass them during that time they were observing the object. Natural & Manmade Phenomena Check: A possible "null hypothesis" might be that the object seen was a large commercial aircraft (such as a 747). The lighting on some large commercial aircraft are often triangular in configuration, thus suggesting this as a null hypothesis in some "triangular UFO sightings. Furthermore, the object's size and speed as described by the witnesses somewhat resemble that of a large airliner (although the size estimate by the father description also indicated that the object was larger, or was flying lower and slower, than expected for a commercial airliner). During the witness interview, the father indicated that in the evening following the sighting, he had noted lighting configurations and sounds of small planes as they passed overhead. That region of the Minneapolis northern suburbs has a number of small aircraft passing overhead, coming to and from several small airports [Crystal and Anoka], so he indicated that he regularly sees/hears them pass overhead. He indicated that the appearance of the object did not resemble that of a small plane. However, he had not, at that time, observed large commercial airliners such as 747's. Both witnesses indicated that there was no sound from the object. However, they also indicated that at the time of the sighting the weather was quite cold, so they did not roll down the car windows. Thus it is possible that some level of sound could have come from the object, which they might not have heard. Additionally, given the right atmospheric conditions, it is possible for a large aircraft a few thousand feet overhead to be unheard from the ground. Weighing against the "large aircraft" hypothesis is the flight path of the object. In the Twin Cities northwestern suburbs, most large aircraft travel along a northwest-southeast path, either approaching or departing the airport. The flight path of this object appears to be roughly perpendicular to this, suggesting that it was neither approaching, nor departing (but might have been in a circling flight path with respect to) the airport. Finally, the daughter's description and drawing clearly do not resemble a commercial aircraft. The father also indicated that he has subsequently observed larger commercial aircraft, and that both the size and the lighting of this object did not resemble any commercial aircraft he has seen. It was this certainty that initially prompted them to contact MUFON. Their overall impression and their subsequent comparison with known aircraft, while not fully disproving the "aircraft hypothesis", suggest that this explanation can not account for the sighting. Sighting Evaluation: FB1 or CE1 - Probable unexplained pending further investigation. We are presently seeking additional witnesses.

Hero Witness Account: I had attended a meeting of the Lake Superior Writers at the DeWitt-Seitz building in Canal Park that afternoon. I took the Duluth Transit Authority bus home and got off at the corner of Piedmont Avenue and West Seventh Street at 5:20 p.m. It was dark but there was still a glimmer of blue dusk atthe summit of Spirit Mountain, on the western edge of the city. As I crossed Piedmont Avenue, I looked downhill to my left and saw that the full moon had just risen. It was about 10 degrees above the eastern horizon, over Lake Superior and Park Point. It was very cold, about zero degrees Fahrenheit, and the sky was completely clear. As I passed the Lakeside Ice Co. building, I saw what I thought was a Christmas decoration through the pine trees, an arch of multicolored lights. After walking about 100 feet (30 meters) west on West Seventh, I saw the object more clearly. It was a black triangle, with its apex pointed upward at one o'clock angle, and the 'base' at the bottom. The object was in mid-air, and estimated 35 degrees above the southwestern horizon. It was the size of my thumbnail at arm's length. The color was matte black, a shade darker than the surrounding night sky. The object had no discernible motion and hovered silently. There was no sound. The sides of the triangle were slightly rounded, a bit concave, giving the object the look of a bulky arrowhead. Also there were three sets or arrays of four lights each on either side of the triangle. There were no lights at the bottom. Twelve lights in all on either side. In descending order, the lights in each array were red, green, gold and white. I halted at the corner of West Seventh and 22nd Avenue West and observed the object for five minutes. It was hard to judge distance, but my guess is that the object was a few miles away, possibly over the Spirit Valley area in the West Duluth section of the city. I was alone on the street. There was intermittent traffic on Piedmont Avenue a block behind me. I walked on to my home, went inside and grabbed a small camera. I wasn't sure the object itself would show, but I knew the steady multicolored lights would. However, when I reached the front porch again, the object was gone. Date Report was made: Jan. 6, 2001 Natural Phenomena Check: Nothing unusual as reported by Air Traffic Control for that date. Evaluation: Unexplained This was the third UFO the witness had seen in his life. The first was in Seekonk, Massachusetts in August 1963, and the second was near Kingston, Ontario, Canada in August 1995.

If you are interested in extending your iris bloom season, Iris tridentata may be what you are looking for. It is a beardless species iris native to wetlands from Florida to North Carolina. According to Marty Schafer and Jan Sacks at Joe Pye Weed's Gardens, it grows in a wide variety of soil conditions. My plant is growing in pine bark mulch at the edge of a bog garden. If you observe the flower closely, you will notice that it lacks standards. Unlike the iris you grow, this one spreads in all directions with long rhizomes and does not form a clump. It is just starting to bloom.

Purple Paws
Paul Blacks 2014 introduction is 'Purple Paws.' It's lovely as single bloom. Creamy yellow standards are peppered with a medium purple plicata. The falls are whiter, edging in yellow. The purple lays on the shoulders and speckles to the edge. laying on this a white beard is tipped with dark purple.
|'Purple Paws' (Paul Black, 2014 SDB)
The season's performance was excellent. Planted in 2014, the clump has established itself well. The show began May 6 and continued for two weeks. Less than a foot high the clump has a diameter of about 2 feet. It's getting about time to divide...

There's just too much to wade through in the photo album! We visited the Collins garden today and the Greater Des Moines Botanical Gardens to see hundreds of guest iris. We are past peak bloom here, but there were many mid-late blooming TBs putting on a show.
At Collins 'Bluebird Of Happiness' was putting on a wonderful show and getting well-deserved attention.

I hate our onboard vacuum. It can only be used with a vacuum hose and little triangle shaped end which always works its way out after every few minutes. On the plus side, it has a REALLY long cord which allows me the entire length of the boat. In addition, the attachments don't work well. When I put the little brush in place for our bare wood floor, there's not enough suction to pick up anything beyond dust, which just gets lodged in the brush. And without the brush, the hose end will scratch the floor. Another plus is that it is so easy to clean … and I guess another plus is that it hasn't died in the cruising environment. Although if it died, I'd have an excuse to replace it.
We actually have two other options available. The one we use while we're actually out cruising may be a best investment – it gets everything off the floor – and companionway steps, it's completely reliable and doesn't demand electrical juice :). Coupled with taking the rugs outside and beating them, it's a great system. But I like having a handheld vacuum when we're finally at a dock. I guess it's an unneeded luxury, but…
We also have a little 1 gallon Shop-Vac that lives in the cockpit lazarette for outside jobs – sucking up all the cetol shavings when we stripped all the teak, cleaning up any mess David can make, etc. Using it inside is possible, but it's very top heavy and won't just sit on it's own. It tips over constantly and like the inside vac, the available tips can scratch my teak & holly sole – something I'm trying to avoid. It also has a short cord so we always have to break out an extension cord wherever we use it.
Both our current Dirt Devil and the shop-vac have a problem with emissions — they blow dirty air out as I vacuum, making me sneeze!
In shopping for a hand vacuum to replace ours, I've decided upon a few prerequisites:
1. No cordless models need apply. We've used a cordless dustbuster before and the charge fizzles before I can even get the boat done — and as on most boats, our living space is modest – a full 18 feet from the front tip of the head back to the quarterberth starts — floor space.
2. A cord long enough to reach from one end of our living space to the other.
3. Enough suction that I don't have to sweep up before I can vacuum.
4. Some type of end attachment that won't scratch the teak & holly cabin sole.
5. Preferably a vacuum that doesn't leave me choking in the dust it spits back out … I think the industry calls this "emissions".
So after I did some research online (I used Consumer Reports, but I don't think I'm allowed to share their proprietary data in a post – but don't worry, for hand vacuums there wasn't much!). I found more information online in product reviews than I did with Consumer Reports testing. I didn't really change much on my criteria, although there were a couple of models I decided I wasn't too interested in based on the "emissions" criteria.
Selection was very skimpy … first we went to Kohl's – they had one hand held vacuum – it was the Shark Pet vac, but David didn't like the soft rubber nozzle, I didn't mind it, but it was cordless and a cord is one of my criteria. So on to Target. Target had 3 models, all of which were cordless including the Bissell Handheld Vac which got very good ratings on Consumer Reports, but not so good on Amazon. On to Bed Bath & Beyond, nope, all cordless… this is getting frustrating. Surprisingly, WalMart had the best selection, although all but one of their models were cordless too.
There was ONE model with a 20′ long cord – Winterlude has 18′ in length that needs vacuuming inside. It was a Shark Hand Vacuum but it seemed very large and very heavy. Since there were no other options and we frequent WalMart so returning it wouldn't be a big deal, just waiting in line.
The Shark seemed much larger than my Dirt Devil, but when I compared them side by side, there wasn't much size difference to the old vacuum — and the Shark's tools stored much easier than the Dirt Devil. Luckily the Shark fit neatly into the vacuum's cubbyhole.
Now to try it out. When I first turned it on, it sucked up my runner carpet whoosh — carpet almost inside the vacuum – so it has power! Almost too much power! After requesting David's assistance to stand on the rug runner, it did a good job. Likewise it did a good job pulling lint and particles out of corners where I was sure the larger brush head wouldn't fit. I like the always attached hose with the soft bristle end – if you remember to close the sliding lid over the rotating brush, it has just as much suction, always a good thing. The tool to get into nooks & crannies simply slides into the brush end of the hose, neat, easy design. And best of all, it hasn't fallen out once … yet.
So, the jury is still out. I want to use it a few more times before I decide for sure, but it seems like a good alternative to my horrid old Dirt Devil Scorpion. This Shark model (V15Z) did not have good reviews on Amazon, although there's a newer model that seems to have better reviews. The biggest complaint is that the belt breaks and it's difficult/impossible to find one to replace it. Another of the consistently negative reviews for the Shark vacs in general was that the motor burned out quickly, some reported within a couple of months. Other reviews stated that the motor overheats easily.
Shark is now including a "warning" in the packaging that states "after EACH use, remove the Filter Debris Screen from the HEPA Dust Cup Filter, then vigorously tap clean the HEPA filter until no more dust can be removed". It's not difficult to remove and since I always cleaned the Dirt Devil out after every use, this won't be a negative for me. It also states "because of the incredible filtration performance, the HEPA Dust Cup Filter will quickly accumulate many fine dust particles that are difficult to see, but which will eventually block or reduce suction power and if not cleaned will cause the motor to overheat tripping the resettable thermostat." – then it gives instructions to let it cool, clean the filter and you should be good to go. I suspect many of the negative ratings had to do with this Warning statement! 🙂
Enough on boat vacuums! Do you have a boat vacuum you particularly like or dislike? Please leave a comment & share so others can make their own choices! Cheers! J

Quiet, soft and slow
How quickly do we rush
to shovel the snow to the side,
to keep moving
to keep up the hustle and bustle
This season may we choose instead to delight in
the majesty and power
the beauty and wonder
Let it cover us with a sense
of comfort
of quiet
of home for the holidays
Happy Winter!

Find info concerning Shepherd University staff positions, and registering for elective seminars. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? There are a variety of accredited business programs that may appeal to you. Advertising, accounting, human resources, and business management are just a few options. Concentrating on Shepherd University staff positions, for example, you may gain an advantage in corporate recruiting being done on-campus. Check with the workforce development department for course registration deadlines, and career training program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Shepherd University.
Human resources specialists must recruit, screen, and interview job applicants. They often are tasked with other duties such as compensation and benefits, and employee training. To fill a job opening, human resources managers may choose to recruit on-campus at a local university, sponsor a job fair, or simply place job ads online. Each method has advantages in employment screening, and built-in drawbacks regarding issues such as wages and salaries, healthcare, pensions, and union practices.
Potentially, the best candidates may be hired through on-campus recruiting, the resources required may be prohibitive. Online ads would attract a larger applicant pool, but many applicants may lack proper qualifications. Hiring decisions must take into account a limited advertising budget, as well as the necessity of maintaining low employee turnover. With a bachelors degree, the average salary for human resources specialists was $58,350 annually, as of 2017. Beyond major requirements within the workforce development department, you may consider Kenyon College advanced placement credit as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.
