Slaviansk has become a flashpoint in the crisis that hit Ukraine after men with Kalashnikovs took control of the city last weekend. Now Orthodox Christian believers seek blessings for themselves and the holiday food ahead of easter Sunday. Separatists are still holding on to public buildings in the city despite an international deal ordering them to disarm. Separatists from other regions offer support.

Apple's recently released supplier responsibility report contains good news concerning conflict minerals. The report confirmed that as of last month, all "active, identified tantalum smelters" in the company's supply chain were verified by third-party auditors to be conflict free. The report states that the company released a list of smelters and refiners in its supply chain whose tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold is conflict free "so it's clear which ones have been verified as conflict-free." The electronics industry only uses a "small percentage" of tin, tungsten and gold, according to the report. Apple will continue to require that its suppliers only use conflict-free verified tantalum and will continue to monitor its suppliers' smelters.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the second largest African country, conflict minerals are often mined through forced labor, debt bondange or child slavery. Conflict minerals fund militias in the DRC who terrorize local populations. According to the non-profit organization, Walk Free there has been much progress to rid the electronics industry of conflict minerals. Intel announced recently that all of its new microprocessors will be made conflict minerals free. Intel CEO Brian Kraznich urged other companies to do the same. Perhaps much of the progress can be attributed to a section of the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 (Section 1502) which requires companies to publicly disclose their use of conflict minerals from the DRC. The SEC adopted the rule in 2012.
Greenpeace Energy Campaigner Tom Dowdall released a statement congratulating Apple for its "increased transparency about its suppliers." Dowdall characterized increased transparency at Apple as "becoming a hallmark of Tim Cook's (the CEO of Apple) leadership at the company." He urged "Samsung and other consumer electronics companies" to follow Apple's example "so the industry can exert its collective influence to build devices that are better for people and the planet."
Instead of avoiding minerals from the DRC, Apple instead opts for supporting "verified supply lines and economic development in the region," as stated in the supplier report. Apple is driving its smelters and refiners to comply with the Conflict-Free Smelter Program (CFSP) or an equivalent third party audit program. The CSFP is part of the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative, and focuses on what it calls a "pinch point" or a "point with relatively few actors" in the global metals supply chain. The CSFP uses an independent third-party audit to identify smelters and refiners that source only conflict free minerals and publishes the list on its website. Apple also works with non-governmental organizations, trade groups, government agencies and other groups to keep pressuring and driving for real change

" Manufacturer: Argos / Type: Digital Set Top Box "
* Prices may differ from that shown
The title of this product pretty much sums it up for me - it is a value set top box. There are absolutely no frills to it and it doesn't cost a lot. It would make for a great entry level set top box, but is no good for people who want a lot of fancy gadgets and buttons.
Aesthetically it is probably one of the simpler ones out there, but that is not necessarily a bad thing - you can't go wrong with it because it isn't offensive in any way. It is a rectangular thin box and is entirely black so will go anywhere.
The signal that you get from it depends on your TV really and the area you live in. It has always been ok for us although the signal is easily interrupted in bad weather.
The remote control on it is pretty lousy - very cheap and nasty looking and quite temperamental it is absolutely no good for people who can't handle fiddly things, because the buttons are very small and not that sensitive, which means they need a fairly hefty push.
The menu screens follow the same theme as everything else on this set top box in that they are very simple. There is an annoyance here with the box as the machine is a little slow to react to button presses, which is annoying because if you do a few presses in succession, the couple of seconds delay can sometimes mean that it doesn't register every press.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend this product really unless you want something really entry level and cheap and cheerful. It is basic but it only just about does the job - you are probably better stretching the budget a bit further for something better - wes certainly did not long after buying this one.
I have three TVs at home, one with Sky, and because Sky Multiroom was too expensive, one of the others has this Set Top Box, and the third TV has a different set top box, which I will review. This was the cheaper of the two boxes as it is operating with the least used television in the kitchen.
When you purchase the product you get the box itself, the remote control (with batteries!!) and the necessary leads. The set top box is matt black in colour and weighs 800g. To be honest, it was heavier than I expected, considering it is made of cheap feeling plastic, don't judge a book by its cover I suppose. In terms of measurements, you're looking at 3.5x25x18.5, where all measurements are in centimetres.
In my opinion, this is certainly not the most technologically advanced piece of equipment, as is to be expected considering it comes in at under twenty pounds. However, it works and does what it says on the tin.
When powered up, I can get around 30 television channels and 25 radio stations. Now I believe that my area has quite poor reception from the masts, and Argos state you can get up to 55 I believe. So you should first check the Freeview website to see what you can receive in your area.
The installation is very straight forward and there is a little instruction booklet, well it really only consists of a page or two - not convoluted at all. When you get the box set up, you turn your Television on, and in most cases, go to the AV or Scart 1 mode on the set. You are immediately prompted to scan for channels, and in around 5 minutes, you will be displayed with a list of channels it has found.
Once this is all complete, you can select a channel to view and there you have it! You also get what is technically called the Electronic Program Guide which is really the Radio Times on your set! The graphics on this are not good, and it reminds you of a calculator display or the old Ceefax font, but you are able to flick through and see what is on, on the different channels.
The display and sound quality depends a lot on the model of TV you have, but in my case it is perfectly fine.
The only problem with the device is that when you action something, for example if you change channel or open up the guide, there is a slight delay of a second or two. This can get quite frustrating if you need to do a series of things at once. There is a very flimsy remote control, with simple buttons included to change channels and carry out simple tasks.
I recommend this set top box because it is straight forward and opens up the world of digital television. Granted there are no extra features, but for most people it should be sufficient!
With the digital switch over coming into effect and wanting to convert an older television, we decided to go out and purchase one of these.
The set top box is fitted to an existing, non digital television and allows you to watch the channels that have now converted over to digital, now that the analogue signal has been stopped.
It cost about £15 if I recall correctly, which it is very reasonable compared to the expensive costs of a lot of 'fancier' set top boxes and it seems just as good and it seems to do all of the same things.
It was easy to fit - a scart cable (which was included), an aerial cable, connect to the television and away you go. It has a feature for you to tune it where it automatically finds your channels for you and it easily picked up 100+ channels with all the ones you expected there.
The now and next programme guide is easy and simple to use - clearly showing you the television listings coming up. You can also use the electronic programme guide to see programmes on within the next 7 days, as well as being able to set reminders for the upcoming programmes.
The remote is nicely set out and easy to understand - unlike a lot of remotes, everything is well labeled and it's easy to figure your way around.
The set top box is nice and small, easy to sit nicely underneath the television without being in too much of a view.

Well, after a less than stellar experience with the Apricot Matcha, I decided to "clear my palate" with something that's been tried and been GOOD. This was the first tin I came across so this is what I prepared.
And it is so yummy. So yummy and boysenberry-ish, with lovely vegetative notes. This is one that I think everyone should try! OH, and by pure coincidence, my full-length review for this tea will publish in a couple of hours on the SororiTea Sisters blog: http://sororiteasisters.com

Interest is intense for Kay Bailey Hutchison's seat
Hutchison's spot drawing high interest
Dewhurst will consider Senate bid; White won't run
Published 6:30 am, Thursday, January 13, 2011
U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison's Thursday afternoon announcement that she will not seek re-election next year prompted an immediate flurry of speculation about successors, early positioning by potential candidates and a decisive "no" from a prominent Democrat who once had his eye on the seat.
"Sen. Hutchison has worked hard for Texas for many years," former Houston Mayor Bill White wrote in an e-mail. "I wish her and her family well. I look forward to going back into business this year, and will not run for the U.S. Senate in 2012."
White was a U.S. Senate candidate when Hutchison, 67, said she would resign her seat to run for governor. When she ultimately decided to stay put, White switched to the governor's race, losing decisively to incumbent Gov. Rick Perry in November.
White's withdrawal from the field of potential Democratic candidates leaves only John Sharp, the former state comptroller who announced his intention to run for the seat in 2008, for now. He has not held public office since 1999.
On the Republican side, the putative front-runner among a number of potential candidates, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, initially told reporters on Thursday that he would not think of running until after the Texas Legislature ends in May. Later in the afternoon, he recalibrated.
"In just these few hours since Sen. Hutchison's announcement, I have received countless inquiries about my intentions with regard to running for the United States Senate," he said in an e-mail. "While my focus remains on the challenges we face here at the state level and making this upcoming session successful, I fully intend to explore running for the United States Senate, and should I run, I will run with the intention of winning and continuing to serve the people of Texas just as I have done throughout my career."
'Playing coy'
Other potential Republican candidates include two members of the Texas Railroad Commission, Michael Williams and Elizabeth Ames-Jones.
"In the coming weeks, I will officially announce my own intentions regarding a race for the U.S. Senate," Jones said in a statement. "I will bring fresh leadership to the Senate and lead the fight to create good new jobs, stop runaway spending and stand up for our Texas values in Washington."
Other Republicans expressing interest in the job include Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert, former Secretary of State Roger Williams and former Solicitor General Ted Cruz, of Houston. State Sen. Florence Shapiro, R-Plano, who at one time was in the race, said she will remain where she is rather than seek the higher office.
Roger Williams, a Weatherford car dealer and prominent Republican donor, said he still is in. "We have run our campaign every day like the next day was going to be the election," he said.
Williams said he hopes that some of the people who have donated to Hutchison over the years and who have been "sitting on the fence" now will look his way.
There will be others, Harris County Republican Party Chairman Jared Woodfill predicted.
"Everybody's playing coy right now, but as soon as the (legislative) session's over, you'll see a whole lot of people sticking their foot in the water," he said.
Woodfill predicted that whoever wins the Republican primary will be the next U.S. senator, although Texas Democratic Party spokeswoman Kirsten Gray promised a spirited challenge.
"Kay Bailey Hutchison has changed her mind about retirement so many times, she could be known as the Brett Favre of the Senate," Gray said in a statement. "Assuming this time she's serious, it is good news for Texas families, who Sen. Hutchison has failed to adequately represent. ... On Election Day 2012, we will offer Texas voters a Democratic U.S. Senate candidate whose dedication to our state would never be in question."
Tough for Democrats
Rice University political scientist Mark Jones said it is unlikely a Democrat can win .
"The prospects for the Democrats would be a troublesome outcome for the Republican primary and runoff with the emergence of an unelectable candidate," he said, noting that none of the Republicans considering the race right now would be unelectable. "Odds are this will be decided in the Republican primary."
Most observers consider Dewhurst the odds-on favorite to be the Republican nominee, citing his high name recognition, more-than-ample campaign funds and a record on which to run.
Woodfill, however, has another name in mind — state Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, the conservative radio talk-show host and founder of the Tea Party Caucus in the Texas Legislature.
"I haven't even thought about it," Patrick said. "It's not on my radar screen. For the next five months I'm focused like a laser on passing conservative legislation."
Meanwhile, everything depends on whether the candidate with millions in his campaign war chest actually enters the race.
"Dewhurst will be the pivot around whom the race revolves," Jones said.
A chain reaction?
The lieutenant governor is pivotal in another way, Patrick noted. If Dewhurst decides to run, "this sets in motion a chain of events that affects every statewide office."
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott may run for governor. At least three statewide officeholders - Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples and Comptroller Susan Combs - have expressed interest in being lieutenant governor and, as Patrick noted, 19 Republicans in the state Senate can envision themselves in the post.
"As I told my colleagues the other day," he said, "everybody better be nice to everybody."

243 winchester accuracy report
So I was able to test my Rem 700 243 Winchester. 24 inch barrel, Boyd laminate thumb-hole stock, Nikon Buckmaster 6x18x40 BDC Scope.
I was utilizing 95gr Sierra Match Kings, and H4350. Started at a recommended 39 grains working up to 42 grains in half grain increments.
I loaded the bullets to magazine length, or 2.790".
The starting load group was okay, the 39.5 grain load was outstanding at 100 yards. I knew I already found the load, easy on me!
I shot the rest of the test rounds and was okay groups to looking like shotgun patterns.
I measured the 39.5 grain groups from edge to edge with a group of .273" for the five shots, some going through the same hole.
Next time out will be through the chronograph to see the velocity, deviations, etc...
Side Note, first time ever measuring my group, I always just look at it and say yup, that's pretty darn good to me, so if I goofed it up let me know!

Nice shooting!
I'm always curious about reports of wildly different groups sizes in doing load work ups. It obviously happens to a lot of folks but I have literally never seen it. I normally work up to max, look at all the nearly identical groups, give a puzzled look, say "Alrighty then" and then use the max loads.
For measuring groups sizes, (free!) OnTarget software is the bomb. Puzzling interface if you don't read the instructions first but it works great.
Still happily answering to the call-sign Peetza.
The problem, as you so eloquently put it, is choice.

I can admit to doing the max load thing myself, only with pistol rounds though. I've only ever done two rifle work ups, the 243 Winchester and my AR-15.
I think I'll have to do the AR-15 target again and run it through the program. It groups almost identical, sometimes smaller if I am doing my part.
Funny thing is with the AR-15 load, I've ran that load through multiple .223 rifles and always the same accuracy as it is in mine. 5 ar-15's to date and 3 .223 bolt rifles (Savage, Remington, Ruger).
To say the least all my friends ask if I have any for them or to load them up some

Nice shooting man.
Last time I did some load development for my .243 it was kind of fun to see the group size change between various powder charges. I actually started getting frustrated to some degree because the first 3 or 4 loads just grouped horribly (1.5" to 2" at 100). Then all of a sudden I hit the magic harmonics with 40.5 grains of H414 and the group was a single ragged hole.
It opened and closed again as I increased charge weights, but never got as good as the 40.5 charge. So that's where I sit. And it works.

Great looking group there for sure. I would take that, day in and day out.
Mine likes the 95gr Nosler and shoot them like that but with 41grs of the same powder. The only draw back is they make a real mess out of whatever your putting them into.

I rather like the half dollar sized exit wound my 95 grain BST's leave in white tail. If they run, they don't run far. And you could be near blind and still track them.
I've only had one issue with that load, and it was on a shot I probably should have displayed more patience on.

I have some of 95gr noslers, and may try it someday, my uncle uses them and I've seen them destroy a groundhog at 500 yards. The only thing that turned me off was the box of 50 compared to the 100 count boxes sierra offers for the same price. But I guess that's just nit picky.
I only used the h4350 because my uncle bought it, and didn't mean to get that powder so he gave me the 8lb jug for free, unopened.

Lol thanks! It is a great feeling indeed when it comes to printing great groups. On the low left I sighted in with a box of factory ammo so that's the only reason. Its adjusted now. And since the field is planted in beans, I can sit back and pick off some hogs at distance haha

If you like Sierra bullets, I suggest the GameKings instead of the MatchKings, if you are going to use that .243 for hunting.
I killed several elk with a .243 and Sierra GameKing bullets propelled with H4350!
Good shooting.

Yeah I was shocked that my uncle gave it to me, as he reloads everything. But I guess the nostalgia of having his nephew follow in his shoes was enough. None of his kids or grandkids reload.
I don't plan on doing any deer, but for the distance around here in central Ohio, I'm sure the matchkings will do a good job on a hog.

So was out on the farm, beans coming up, about 6 inches high now, as I'm gazing off, low and behold a furry fat groundhog believes he is going to get a free meal.
Well I grabbed the 243, loaded up a 95gr match king, laser says 410 yards. I set up shop looking through the scope, I use the BDC on my Nikon, wait for a cross body shot.
As he turns, I squeeze, whoops forgot my damn hearing protection, ouch. Any who, look through the scope and I see him laying there. I walkout and cannot believe first I got him, second the damage. Bullet entered front of the shoulder exited left hind leg.
The matchking damn near cut him in half and took all the insides out with it.
Now as for hide wise, probably not a good choice but from what I seen its got pretty dang good terminal performance on small game.

First off congrats on the great shot. I mounted one of the lesser powered BDC scopes on my grandsons rifle.
Huh hearing protection.....
Seriously I gotta admit, "IF" I know I am setting up for something like that type of a shot I always have something to put in or over my ears. I mean usually if your overlooking a big pasture or similar you USUALLY will have time to get ready for a shot without blowing things. My biggest issue is that I never know when something will be popping up from the tall grass or out of the brush, and usually when it does, it is in high gear to get across the pasture. Our hogs are usually a bit bigger as well..
The damage you see is what I was referring to on the BT's. I only shot one deer with them and it was a 100# doe I hit right through the onside leg, which then cut a 4-6" crescent shaped hole straight through the bottom of the rib cage. It literally took out the heart and almost both lungs. She ran about 50yds dead on her feet straight into a huge old Oak tree.
To be honest it was one of the wildest things I have ever witnessed. After the impact most everything in front of the diaphragm simply fell out the big hole and she ran off from it. When I touched the trigger she was standing still, but as the shot broke she took that half a step, and I got leg instead of just ribs.
After that we used up the rest of what I had on coyotes and such. They for the most part all looked about like what you described. I switched over to the Partitions for that rifle and never looked back.
The grandson is shooting up my supply of the 100gr Solid Bases I stashed away before they were all gone from the shelves. They shoot groups like yours from his Sako Hunter.

Mine vary a lot as well and sometimes a good load has shot badly on a subsequent shoot so I continue to wonder (and the velocity variation is pretty good in the 40-60 feet spread area, or so I think)
What kind of guns, i.e. over the counter, heavy barrel or custom barrel actions?

Yeah in rifles I don't normally find the sweet spot at max charge.
This past weekend was the first exception. Tried the nosler 95gr ballistic tips.
Loaded 5 each with H4350, start 39 max 42.
42 grains had excellent results loaded to 2.700" 5 shots one hole, they rivaled if not beat the sierra 95 grain matchkings.

However, I like light, fast bullets and I'm not exactly easy on the guns. I have loaded a .22-250 with 35gr Noslers pushing near 4,500fps, I loaded my .204Ruger up to 4,200fps with 32gr V-Max (just shy of 1gr over book max) and I have pushed a 6mm Rem with a 22" barrel and a .243AI with a 24" over 4,050fps with 55gr bullets. I also load a 7mm-08, 110gr Barnes TTSX to over 2,800fps from a 15" barrel, a load that would be pushing 3,300 in a 24".
The only load that's ever gone hokey on me is the 35gr Nosler. It was excellent for a few years, this last load cycle I went to F/L sizing with minimal shoulder bump instead of Lee collet only and simultaneously ran the powder bottle empty and switched lots. The load went from 1/2-3/4 MOA to 1.5-2MOA. I don't know which is to blame and we're out of those bullets anyway, so I will likely never know.
Still happily answering to the call-sign Peetza.
The problem, as you so eloquently put it, is choice.

As all have said already "nice group". I haven't got them groups with 95 gr yet but got some awesome groups with a lucky and surprising load. 75gr Speer varmint (biggest hollow point opening I've seen in a 6mm bullet) with 44 gr of AR2209 (Aussie powder very similar to h4350) out shot my nosler 70gr loads I spent days tuning!

Online: President Barack Obama announced a new Web site to help struggling homeowners around the nation – makinghomeaffordable.gov.
LOS ANGELES – Buoyed by adoring crowds far from Washington's political wars, President Barack Obama guaranteed Americans yesterday that the nation's economy will recover, though he asked them for patience.
He capped his day by taping an appearance on comedian Jay Leno's late-night talk show, the first for a sitting president.
Obama's two-day visit to California, designed to pitch the changes in health care, public education and energy policy his budget proposes, brought him closer to the fiscal distress and financial straits much of the country is experiencing.
But it also removed him from Washington while his administration is defending its management of the American International Group bailout, drafting a new financial regulatory framework, and debating whether the $787 billion stimulus package will be enough to revive the economy.
"Now, there are those who say these plans are too ambitious, that anything we should be trying to do is just focused on the banking crisis; that we should be trying to do less, not more," Obama said in his opening remarks at a town hall forum in Los Angeles. "In fact, somebody was saying the other – today, I think, that I shouldn't be on Leno. I can't handle that and the economy at the same time. Listen, here's what I say. I say our challenges are too big to ignore."
On "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," Obama held his own with the comedian, countering Leno's thrusts about the big executive bonuses at the bailed-out American International Group by saying that "the only place where I think this might work is Hollywood."
Obama told Leno he was "stunned" when he first was informed of the bonuses. "We're going to do everything we can to get these bonuses back," Obama said.
But he switched gears to talk about life in the White House, confirming a timetable for the First Family's acquisition of a canine companion. Obama said the dog would arrive after his planned trip to Europe in early April. "When we get back, the dog will be in place," Obama said, adding his daughters, Sasha and Malia, were not the only ones looking forward to its arrival. "They say if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog," he joked.
Earlier in the day, Obama looked every bit the campaigner at the town hall forum – his second in California in as many days – as he sometimes mocked his GOP critics, and sometimes asked people to forgive his shortcomings.
"Change is hard. Change doesn't happen overnight," he told the roughly 1,100 people assembled in the gymnasium. "Here's a guarantee. We are not always going to be right. And I don't want people to be disappointed if we make a mistake here and there. The point is are we moving in the right direction."
Obama asked Americans to back his budget plans. The resulting large deficits will be temporary and justified, he said. He told Americans not to expect "something for nothing" from their government.
"Nothing is free," the president said. Responding to a woman's complaint about cuts in jobs and salaries for California teachers, Obama urged people not to ask the federal and state governments to cut taxes and improve services at the same time. "At some point, you've got to make some choices," he said.
Obama mocked Republican officials who call his plans too costly even though they presided over huge deficits while they controlled Congress and the White House. "Where have you been?" he said. "What have you been doing?"
Obama also announced fresh aid to struggling homeowners in California. He said the state would receive $145 million to help communities hardest hit by the home foreclosure crisis. He said the money would be used to buy up and rehabilitate vacant homes, and provide loans to poorer and middle-income families to help with home assistance.
California's GOP governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, gave the president a far warmer greeting than Obama has received from Republicans in Congress, thanking Obama for "courageous leadership."
Obama called the governor "one of the great innovators of state government" and "an outstanding partner with our administration."

text: Hello everyone. This weekend my sister was lucky enough to pick up a baby (~ .9cm) pygmy cuttlefish off the eastern Australian coastline. It's currently living in a tank with a few clown fish and a box fish, as we had not time to prepare for it's arrival - we just couldn't turn down the opportunity to care for such a glorious little creature! I was just wondering if anyone here has had experience with this type of cuttlefish, I've done all the web research I can and I was hoping to hear some personal stories about keeping cuttlefish happy and heathy. Thanks so much!

Not that we need an excuse to share videos of adorable animals, but May 5-11 is Be Kind to Animals Week, and critters have always been a popular theme on Idealist. There are thousands of animal rights organizations on the site, ranging from groups with a broad focus on protecting our furry friends to smaller nonprofits with more specific goals. So if you are ready to get involved, check out these opportunities!
Want to help as many types of animals as you can? The ASPCA is looking for a Membership Operations Manager along with 11 other positions. In Washington D.C. the Animal Rescue League needs a Director of Development, while in Virginia the National Wildlife Federation is searching for a Business Systems Manager.
Consider yourself a cat person? Head over to Alley Cat Allies in Bethesda, Maryland and apply for the Executive Assistant position. If you're more aquatically minded, take a look at the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation in New Orleans. It's one of the world's largest conservation grant-makers and has an opening for a Manager of Coastal Habitat Restoration.
If you're looking to help animals this summer, or just want to gain experience in the social impact sector, try an internship.Tackling everything from climate change to biodiversity conservation, the Earth Island Institute has been helping preserve the habitats of wild animals since 1982. Located in Berkeley, California, they need a Photography and Digital Media Intern this summer.
If bigger is better for you, check out the Humane Society, which is the largest animal advocacy organization in the world. They're looking for a summer intern for their State Affairs Department in Arizona, and have jobs listed across the USA.
Volunteer Opportunities
Not in the market for a full-time job or internship? Volunteer with Hopalong Animal Rescue in Oakland as a Pet Chauffeur, or cross the Bay to San Francisco to serve as a Volunteer Bookkeeper with the Red Panda Network.
If pandas, pugs, and alley cats seem too furry, that's where the Vidyanagar Nature Club in India comes in. They need a Snake Rescue Volunteer. If you have "a steady hand and an appreciation of all types of snakes including venomous cobras and vipers" they'd love to talk to you.
So the next time you're enjoying a cat's facial expression or playing with your dog, take a moment to be thankful for all the things animals do for us. And if you decide you want to take an active part in making the world a better place for animals, Idealist will be there to help you find what you need!

Lacey Rauschenbach
Best Man:
Brad Patton
Abby Christine Rauschenbach is the daughter of Stephen and Melanie Rauschenbach, of Glencoe, and the granddaughter of the late Paul and Christine Piffel and Jerome and Florence Rauschenbach. Travis James Patton is the son of James and Sharon Patton, of Wildwood, and the grandson of Robert and the late Dana Greene, of St. Charles, and Edith and the late Chester Patton, of St. Louis.
Their Story
Abby Rauschenbach and Travis Patton met in high school but it took a formal introduction by a mutual friend to initiate a spark. On what would otherwise have been a normal weekday evening, Travis and a friend (Jason Edminston) were enjoying a meal at Mulligans Grill, where Abby worked as a server. "She caught my eye," recalls Travis. Jason, who also was a friend of Abby's, introduced the pair. "Needless to say, I frequented Mulligans a lot more after that evening," Travis explains. "The more I came up, the more we talked." Travis and Abby went their separate ways during college, but when Abby's grandfather passed away, Travis attended the funeral to offer his support—a gesture that won Abby's heart. "The moment he walked in, I knew he was the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with." Travis had a much lighter Aha! moment: "I knew she was 'the one' when she asked me to play golf and took all my money," he recalls.
The couple became engaged on July 27, 2011, when Travis popped the question on the balcony of her apartment with the St. Louis sky as a backdrop. "Before I could figure out what he was doing, he was on one knee saying how much he loved me. He caught me completely off guard!" They shared a Champagne celebration with Abby's family and ended up at Mulligans, where Travis had arranged a surprise engagement party.
The couple was joined by family and friends on May 26 during an intimate outdoor ceremony officiated by The Rev. Ryan Peterson at The Studio at St. Albans. The bride carried a purse made with material from her mother's gown and embroidered with her new initials in blue thread. It held a gold coin passed down from her grandparents to her parents on their wedding day. The groom was presented with Abby's late grandfather's wedding band engraved with the saying, From one great man to another. "He was a special man, and I'm honored to wear his ring," he says. A reception followed in a 'shabby-chic' setting with mason jar candles, burlap ribbons and lanterns with flowers. Guests enjoyed signature cocktails, dinner and dancing.
The newlyweds are planning a Mediterranean cruise to the Greek isles for their one-year anniversary. The couple resides in the Central West End.

One of the best-known camp cars was the Lamsteed Kampcar, designed by Samuel Lambert of St. Louis, Missouri. Lambert is best known because of his namesake, the Lambert Pharmaceutical Company, which manufactured, among other things, Listerine Mouthwash.
Lambert was an avid outdoorsman and saw a need for a camp car that was accessible to the general public. His creation sold for $535, and the advertising claimed that it could be attached to the Model T frame in six hours. Amenities of the Kampcar included seating for six, sleeping for four adults, a folding table, two-burner stove, eight-gallon water tank and ample storage lockers. Also included was a complete camping set with camping supplies and eating utensils.
Apparently Lambert needed to attend to other duties and when it became time to put his camp car into full production and on the market, he turned his creation over to another company based in St. Louis, Anheuser-Busch, whose beer production had been halted by Prohibition.
Anheuser-Busch had turned to manufacturing vehicles, including wagons, truck bodies and now the Lamsteed Kampcar. Records are a bit sketchy, but it is said that the Kampcar was produced from 1915 to 1933, and that Anheuser-Busch manufactured units from 1921 to 1931. The Kampcar's long run may be due to its advertising literature, which celebrated the romance of the road and the virtues of the outdoor lifestyle:
"Make this the kind of a vacation you've always dreamed about—enjoy the splendor of Yellowstone, the majesty of the Grand Canyon, visit balmy Palm Beach or the great North Woods. Go anywhere you wish—on your own schedule, over your own railroad system in your own private car, stopping at your own hotel, eating your own cooking at your own table—all in great comfort and at a price you can easily afford."
Only two intact, complete Lamsteed Kampcars are known to exist. This one, mounted on a 1921 Ford Model T, was photographed at the National Automobile Museum in Reno, Nevada.
Douglas Keister's new book, Mobile Mansions, will be published by Gibbs Smith Publisher in the spring of 2006. If you have a unique motorhome, e-mail a photo to email@example.com. Doug is also the author of Ready to Roll: A Celebration of the Classic American Travel Trailer and Silver Palaces: America's Streamline Trailers.

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — Boca Raton-based NCCI raised a significant amount of money — more than a quarter of a million dollars — for the United Way in the company's annual Fall campaign.
From NCCI:
NCCI's two-week United Way campaign raised more than $256,000 this fall, proving once again that NCCI's 900+ employees are fund-raising champions for their favorite cause. This year's theme was "Get in the Game."
Boca Raton-based NCC—which gathers and analyzes workers compensation data for customers across the country— has supported United Way of Palm Beach County for more than 20 years
In the spirit of this year's theme, employees dressed in brightly colored team jerseys and participated wholeheartedly in campaign — from games to companywide raffles. Raffle winners won airline tickets to anywhere in the US; a weekend hotel-stay in Orlando; and gift cards to local restaurants.
Campaign monies will help United Way support more than 45 charitable programs in Palm Beach County. These include food banks, homeless and victims of abuse shelters, training for the unemployed, and guidance to achieve self-sufficiency.
Earlier this fall, NCCI hosted a "United Way Agency Forum" for 30+ nonprofit organizations. The event provided an opportunity for the agencies to talk about their United Way supported programs, and enlist new NCCI volunteers.
Headquartered in Boca Raton, NCCI is the nation's largest repository of workers compensation information. The company's mission is to foster a healthy workers compensation system. NCCI integrates socially responsible principles into the workplace and the community. Visit www.ncci.com.

Pat don't forget we need pictures ,so we can ohh and ahh, congratulations on getting your first quilt top finished . When you get it done don't forget to sign and date it. oh and there is no such thing as a perfect quilt, every little bump gives your quilt character and you will be the only one to know . Barbara
Good for you, pat, when do we get to see pictures??
gini in north idaho
Congratulations on your first quilt. I hope you will let us see a pic. Now you will be as addicted as the rest of us and live and breathe quilting...LOL>
Vinton, Virginia
Way To Go, Pat! Are you hooked on quilting yet? Let us see a pic real soon. Did the books help??? Susan, North Florida
We have all made mistakes on our quilts and learned from them. I chose to call them "design elements" not mistakes! Who knows you might come up with some new inovations for quilts with a mistake! Keep quilting and have fun doing it!
I am very much happy for you. But, I am eager to see your pictures. At least I got an idea regarding quilts and then I also want to start to add something new borders and colors. Please click and share some pictures.
Keep pictures of all your quilts. They are fun to look back at and you will be amazed at how quickly you improve on your skills.
Chiliwist Valley
Congratulations Pat, having a first quilt done feels like such an accomplishment! Signed, dated and name of your quilt, that's what I put on the back. I sometimes add what occasion and to whom. It makes for a big label, I guess I like details...lol
I can't wait to see pictures.
Angèle from NWO
Congrats Pat! You sound like you really enjoyed making the quilt. I think we may have another addict on our hands. Welcome to the club.
pics i hope by the end of the week,i'll have to learn about labeling,the books i've received have been very handy,and yes i'm becoming addicted,i found it helps my stress level just to get alone in my room with my material as i plan to do today,starting the day a bit stressed so to my sewing room i shall go
Congratulations...you are now official!
Hurray for Pat. You are probably the only one that will notice the mistakes. And even those of us who have been at it a while make mistakes. Some we learn to cover, some we hope go unnoticed, and others we can only laugh about (as opposed to crying).
The big deal is that you have done that 1st one and it just gets better from there.
Granny M
Wonderful, Pat!!!
Number One is always the most difficult. Everyone gets easier after the first one. And I don't care how many you make, you will always find something that you wish you hadn't done the way you did it!
So glad to hear that quilting is relaxing for you...makes life much nicer!
Sis, I guess I have been missing your posts on here -- I didn't realize you were so close to finishing your quilt top -- hey!!! congratulations, baby sister!!! I am so glad we can share this fun and experience -- and YES!! Mom would be proud!
I have finished the two baby quilts for Jessica and am still working on the Carpenter's Star for Chris --but have been trying my hand at some applique too and --- you must have seen the quilted e-reader pocket I made and posted on Facebook heh-heh! Darlene wanted one too, so I made one for her and sent it off to her.
I have packed up some scraps and supplies to take with me to wait for the baby -- and I am also working on crocheting a christening gown for her --so I will be keeping busy while I'm away. Taking my laptop too,so I can keep up with QCA and -- BTW -- have you checked out the Show and Tell Gallery on here???? Oh my goodness, their quilts are just beautiful!!!! I love this club!
Sis, I am so happy you are enjoying this quilting experience!!! Can't wait to see your quilt. Love ya', sis!
PS -- They are sincere when they say we all make mistakes in our quilts and we learn from them. I have -- and I know you will too. But each new quilt project will be better -- and provide new opportunities to learn.

JAKE Holland got to imagine what it would have been like to be his great, great grandfather fighting in the First World War at the Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum.
The seven-year-old visited on the opening day of its new exhibition about the Great War on Tuesday. His great, great grandfather, Private Harry Holland, served with the Royal Lancaster Regiment in the trenches of northern France.
Jake's dad, Peter Holland, carried on the military tradition, serving in the Royal Army Veterinary Corps in Afghanistan, so he has a keen interest in the army. Jake said: "I enjoyed learning about the Army from many years ago."
He and his dad, mum Bev and sister Ellie, five, visited the Woodstock museum on a holiday to Oxfordshire from Preston.

We've Come a Long Way
by flandria • May 28, 2013 • too random, womyn on weels
Celebrate change in women's professional cycling!
This Memorial Day weekend, USA Cycling and race sponsors gave the women a well-deserved accolade by providing their fans and followers live coverage of the US Pro Championships via Tour Tracker. It wasn't just a highlight or recap of the race but a FULL coverage of the Time Trial and the Road Race in Chattanooga. Olympic Gold Medalist Kristin Armstrong co-hosted the live coverage with tons of race knowledge, professional grace and absolutely awesome race commentary.
A flood of tweets from European fans and professional women cyclists also enjoyed talking about the drama that unfolded in the race as they watched it online. This was a history in a making in USA cycling. Equal prizing for men and women. The men and women raced on the same course and the same day. The women's race was as exciting as the men's race. There was a lot of respect for one another at the same time fierce competition for the red, blue and white jersey.
Camaraderie and sportsmanship exploded as tweets from competitors sparkled with big congratulations to Jade Wilcoxson and "Fast" Freddie winning the most coveted prize of the year in USA professional cycling. Congratulations to everyone!
Is this too good to be true? You better believe it. Women's professional cycling is making positive waves.
Check out the men and women press conference post-race!

Here is one of those situations where a relatively independent band I once dug eventually disappeared from my radar of interest, only to suddenly become enough of a mainstream success a few years later (2003 to be exact) to the point where some co-workers and a few friends of mine with little to no interest in metal asked if I've heard of this "new" band called Lacuna Coil. I remember replying to one guy that I thought In A Reverie was a cool album, in which he then looked at me as if I had just asked if he was up for a three-way with a panda. Unless I was flippin' drunk, I never had much interest in converting people to my taste in music or whatnot, but it was strange to start hearing of this band again from various sources, as if validating my old tastes. Thus it was a surprised vindication I felt hearing accolades for a group I held respect for due the their debut album being a disc I spun on a regular rotation around the turn of the century. It seemed like a no brainer in that I felt compelled to hear what Lacuna Coil had been up to since then by checking out the oddly titled Comalies.
The burgeoning excitement I felt during the opening track was no mere joke. The guitars, bolstered by an added crunch, were pushed to the forefront of the mix, and the production quality was crystal clear but not sterile or "tinny" thanks to a good bottom end providing support. "Swamped" has a lumbering pace, but it's heavy and the background synths add a deft gloomy touch without becoming a distraction. Cristina's voice is heavenly here, and is soon joined by Andrea's bare-chested histrionics, and yet in this case they compliment each other well. In fact, Andrea's gradual improvements through the years really started to show here. He'll never be mistaken for a high caliber singer, but he's no longer this benign tumor hanging with the rest of the band. Unlike their early material, without him in the lineup Comalies would actually suffer due to lessened variety in a group already battling and often failing to excel past a rote sense of repetition in songcraft. "Swamped" had me believing this was going to be one hell of an album.
And yet the promising opening didn't pan out to encompass the entire collection of songs. This is what I consider to be a front-loaded effort. The popular second track "Heaven's A Lie" didn't impress me as much as the opener, but I loved Cristina's sultry lower-range delivery of the verses. "Daylight Dancer" speeds things up from a crawl to a mid-tempo rhythm with Andrea getting a fair share of the verses and Cristina belting like a spike-collared Natalie Merchant during the chorus. Alongside "Swamped", easily my other favorite track off this effort is "Humane", which boasts a powerhouse chorus that brings back the best aspects of Unleashed Memories while adding a bit more punch production-wise. "Aeon" is interesting in that its opening guitar twang had me visualizing Spaghetti Westerns before the atmospheric quiet goth chimes in and finishes the tune after a weird little industrial loop.
That brings up another point concerning Comalies. There's a slew of industrial touches peppered throughout the disc, and in some instances they tend to sound intrusive rather than an added dimension. They actually feel tacked on during post-production, as if the producer was getting bored and weary listening to this entire recording and thought "We need to add a bunch of bleeps and bloops all over the place just to keep my ass awake."
I wouldn't blame him for thinking that either, since by the second half of this disc it settles into this shamelessly safe comfort zone wherein the band, with the exception of the goofy war diatribe "Angel's Punishment", rehashes the previous tracks over and over to fill up a disc, with "Heaven's A Lie" and "Daylight Dancer" (I know, what a sissy song title) providing the slow and mid tempo blueprints for everything following the impressive fourth tune. Unleashed Memories is guilty of this questionable approach as well, but had more of a doom enhanced edge to it, whereas with Comalies a sizable portion of these songs gave the impression of stock tunes created for the Underworld franchise.
Like its predecessor, the album isn't close to being a disaster musically and possesses a few of their finest tunes, but if they had kept up that slight sense of diversity displayed on their debut full length a few years ago, this could have been a monster. Technically, it did turn out to be a monster for Century Media, and I'll give props to Lacuna Coil for earning their popularity through some tough years without drastic changes to their sound…at least up to this album.

JEREMY HOBSON: It has been a little more than five months since the earthquake and tsunami ravaged Japan and devastated the industrial northern part of the country.Well this morning, we got some evidence that Japanese manufacturers are recovering strongly. That's sending stocks higher around the world on hopes that Asia may help the global economic recovery despite the last week of turbulence.
The BBC's Roland Buerk reports from Tokyo.
ROLAND BUERK: The post-tsunami recession in Japan may be ending earlier than many had expected. According to key government statistics out today, the Japanese economy contracted at a far slower pace than before -- meaning the march towards expansion and growth is coming.
And that's cheering investors across Asia. Even though hundreds of factories across Japan were destroyed in the earthquake and tsunami in March, manufacturing is recovering. Japan's economics minister, Kaoru Yosano, is upbeat -- but restrained.
KAORU YOSANO: With the increasing investment in public projects relating to reconstruction, we believe that the economy is slowly getting back on its feet.
There are still factors that could throw Japan's economy off track.
Power shortages amid the ongoing crisis at the Fukushima nuclear plant
And the strength of the Yen -- a stronger yen means Japanese-made TVs and electronics are more expensive to sell elsewhere -- and that means fewer TVs and electronics will be sold.
One way Japan may adapt to that -- a survey of major companies has shown more than half are considering moving some offices or factories abroad.
In Tokyo, I'm the BBC's Roland Buerk for Marketplace.

President Obama's claim that he welcomes the debate over the NSA's activities and planned to have one but that he objects to the fact that Edward Snowden revealed the things that he supposedly wants to discuss was obviously a lie. Does anyone seriously think that in the absence of Snowden, Obama would have one day voluntarily told the public what has been going on?
Max Ehrenfreund adds an interesting insight. He points out that much of this debate that Obama supposedly desires has already occurred and some of the measures had already been formally discussed and rejected by Congress.
The government's surveillance policies are nonetheless indefensible because collectively, we have already decided, twice, that we oppose them. In a democracy, the government does not have the authority make decisions about the shape of a society independently of public opinion, even if those decisions are justified. The New York Times reports that the NSA has ignored this fundamental principle:
Paul Kocher, a leading cryptographer who helped design the SSL protocol, recalled how the N.S.A. lost the heated national debate in the 1990s about inserting into all encryption a government back door called the Clipper Chip.
"And they went and did it anyway, without telling anyone," Mr. Kocher said.
Likewise, Congress rejected a Bush administration proposal for a program called "Total Information Awareness," which the surveillance apparatus then established anyway in secret. That was the program that became PRISM.
So it looks like the secret government that we have does what it damn well pleases irrespective of what the public government says it can or cannot do. It looks like in addition to the three branches of the government enumerated in the US constitution, we also have a fourth branch, the secret government. But whereas the other three are supposedly co-equal, it is clear that this one is supreme.
This has been another episode on my multi-part series, called "That's democracy, baby!"

Good detective work!
Thread: YVES SAINT LAURENT Batch Codes
YSL batch codes
Ok, this is only the "theory"
according to many bottles examined by my friends and me.
before 1994/5 : simply check the bar-code (missing or not?) on the box. If the bar-code is missing, it's most likely before those years. Not too exhaustive, but enough to state it's vintage.
Since 1994/5 to 2004/5: 4-number batch code on box (on the bottom of the bottle you will find the previous four plus the fifth number "1" or "2")
example: 5184 on the box (it means 1995); on the bottle you read: 51841 or 51842
example: 8231 on the box (it means 1998); on the bottle you read 82311 or 82312
from 2005 to 2011: 1 number followed by 3 letters both box and bottle
example 6ABB (it means year 2006)
example 9HAA (it means year 2009)
example 1AAA (it means year 2011)
since 2012: long codes with multiple letters/numbers
for some reason during year 2008 -and only in 2008- a strange code starting with a letter was used (HAOO, EHAA)

Good detective work!
Good observation.
Thank you for informing.
Holy cow! I was bored so I tried investigating my collection's batch codes. According to this method, I have a 2002 bottle of M7!

Good news for people who don't like to run fast: a light, easy jog might be enough to help you live younger. In fact, researchers think that jogging is even more beneficial than running at a faster pace.
The team working on the Copenhagen City Heart Study, a massive, long-term study of heart health, were trying to determine whether or not the benefits of jogging outweigh some of its risks, Science Daily reported. The analysis ruled in jogging's favor. It showed that as little as one hour of jogging per week at a "slow or average" pace actually delivered this best results for longevity. Peter Schnohr, the chief cardiologist on the heart study project, presented the findings at a European Society of Cardiology meeting in Dublin.
More from GlobalPost: Promises, pitfalls await investors in Burma's frontier
"The good news is that you don't actually need to do that much to reap the benefits," Schnohr said, according to the Daily Telegraph.
The jogging analysis, a sub-study in the Heart Study, looked at 1,116 male joggers and 762 female joggers. The joggers' life expectancies were compared to non-joggers in the main study population, the Telegraph reported. Male joggers lived, on average, an extra 6.2 years and female joggers lived an extra 5.6 years. The researchers put the ideal amount of jogging per week from one hour to two-and-a-half hours.
"You should aim to feel a little breathless, but not very breathless," Schnohr said, according to HealthDay.
The debate over whether or not jogging is a healthy activity goes back to the 1970s, when middle aged men became interested in the trend. Several of the middle aged joggers died, sparking concerns that jogging was unsafe for this age group, Science Daily reported. But the researchers of the most recent study say that those earlier concerns were overblown.

Photographer's Note
The picture is showing the path below the South peak on Huashan mountain.
After you hire the safety equipment this is the first step: you have to descend on these metal bars fixed between the rocks. They are placed unevenly, the only way possible. Descending end at the spot where a man is standing - near the left corner of the photo. At that spot it start the path made of wooden plank which you can see on my previous uploaded photo. What is below all this? Only the abyss :-)
However, on Huashan you have plenty of relatively normal path to walk. This one is for adrenalin lovers only.

Here's a bit of good news for employers: A federal court in North Carolina has refused to add another legal avenue disgruntled employees can use to sue.
The court said even after recent amendments that expanded the scope of the law, the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act doesn't protect whistle-blowers who report what they believe are serious safety violations at work. That's because the law was intended only to safeguard employees who report fraud that affects investors.
Recent case: Steven worked for the Shaw Group as a quality engineering supervisor at a nuclear plant construction site. During a supplier audit, Steven began to suspect that a vendor was shipping defective steel to two nuclear reactor sites and two fuel fabrication facilities.
He told his supervisors that he was going to place a stop-work order on construction involving the steel. Otherwise, he would report the problem to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Steven claims his supervisors refused to approve the stop-work order and instead changed the audit report to downplay problems. Steven sent the original report anyway—and was then fired.
He sued under SOX, arguing that by submitting a "fraudulent" audit report rather than the one he proposed, his employer was misleading investors.
The court disagreed, concluding that internally reporting safety concerns and possibly doctored audits isn't the sort of fraud that Sarbanes-Oxley covers. Steven will have to stick to more traditional remedies like those under OSHA and other specific laws covering the nuclear industry. (Gauthier v. The Shaw Group, No. 3:12-CV-00274, WD NC, 2012)
Final note: Before taking adverse action against any employee who has reported potential safety problems, consult your attorney, who can counsel you on how to minimize your litigation risk.

There is no other nation on the planet more associated with clubbing defenseless animals than Canada ,smaching croos the wall the protesting of ten of thousands asking to stop this massacre against the defenceless baby seal ,the Canadian government permit this masscare and now there pathetic group of sadistic pedophagophiles troop the ice at taxpayer expense to once again crush the skulls of helpless infants seals , there are few animals on the planet as helpless and trusting as baby harp seals ,.anyone can walk up to them , pet them , tickle them , photograph them , or bash in their brains and skin them alive
These beautiful and gentle creatures have the unfortunate status of annually suffering the largest slaughter of any marine mammal species on the planet
Every year, when the ice conditions permit and the seal pups start shedding their fuzzy white coats, a few hundred to a few thousand Canadian fishermen find their way to the floes and proceed to club, bludgeon, shoot, and skin tens to hundreds of thousands of harp seals. About 95% of the seals killed in the commercial seal 'hunt' are 3 weeks to 3 months old.
We hope toghether we could stop this massacre from happening again
