Best creative light blocks
By Laurie the playful grandma
from Golden, CO
My kids always enjoyed these blocks so we bought them for our granddaughter. She is only 15 months old, but is starting to stack them and build. In addition, grandma and grandpa love to build with them and it makes for a fun interactive time together.
Some Assembly Required
By Grandpa
from Nothern Illinois
There were 40 blocks to put together. Once you figured out the first few they went together easily. It just takes alittle time. If they came preassembled the shipping container would be the size of a large trunk. Grandkids love the blocks sofar.

Best and Smartest Toy Ever
By Mom of 3 boys
from Schaumburg, IL
About Me Parent
There is no other toy that we have had this long that is not broken and my kids still play with. I think we bought these 12 years ago. They use them with their hot wheels, building as tall as they will go, etc. They constantly revisit the bag of blocks. In fact, I am buying another set and my kids are 9, 11 and 14.

childhood memories
By Heidi
from cleveland, oh
About Me Avid Gamer, Parent
I remember playing with these growing up. We simply loved them and would play for hours. They seemed to last no matter what my sister, my brother, my two cousins and me would throw at them. And withstand our weights. I would recommand this to anyone who want to entertain toddler and young children. My brother loves them so much he has gotten them for his son who will be turning three this year.
Great for Children who love blocks
By Auntie
from Sewell, NJ
About Me Educator
It is great because it is easy to put together and they are lightweight so they won't hurt if they accidentally get thrown and hit somebody. My niece really loves them because they can be made taller than her.
Perfect blocks to grow up with.
By Uncle Pete
from Louisville, KY
About Me First-Time Uncle
Both my 6 month old nephew and my 1 year old niece love these. They are sturdy and big enough that I have fun building. They are light weight and durable enough to sustain all the damage the kids care to inflict. Even when my niece tosses one in the direction of my nephew they won't be dangerous like heavier wooden blocks. I imagine these will be a favorite for both of them for years to come, they are already a favorite of mine. The assembly took about a half hour, but I did it alone. With some help all 40 blocks could be put together in ten minutes or less, I'm sure.
Huge hit with my Grandson!
By Elpha-Grandmother

About Me Frequent User
My Grandson loves for me to build a house so he can knock it down. Blocks are very sturdy and takes a licking and kicking!

About Me Frequent User, Parent
my son has a lot of fun with these! They never get old! I often have an 8, 6, and 4 year old over, and they all enjoy stacking them up as high as possible! And of course knocking them down! Not too noisy when knocked down as they are only cardboard!

My daughter suggested that I try her new neck massager as we both have tension and stiffness in our necks. WOW! It is an amazing product and I bought my own that very same day, and I use it almost every day! It is designed to absolutely massage the exact tight spots in the neck. I also use it on my scalp for further reduction of tightness. My husband is pleased too as he no longer has to constantly massage my neck and shoulders for me! Thank you for a product that TRULY works!

I had neck pains for several weeks and over the counter medications could not help relieve the pain. My Aunt surprised me and sent me this Neck massager. What a pleasant surprise and exactly what I needed!!! This massager is designed to hit the right areas of the neck and shoulders which helps to relieve tight muscles and stress in the neck. I use the massager right before bed which makes for a total body relaxation!! You will not be disappointed with this product! Thank you Aunt Roz!!!

I've suffered neck pain since a heart transplant in 2001. Something about a disc in my neck. I have tried everything and ended up on 60mg. oxycotin 6 times a day still with no real relief. I put this dam thing on for 20 minutes w/heat and felt like I went to heaven.I normally don't respond to B.S like this cause the product doesn't work. this loosened up the muscles on each side of that disc which removed the pressure from that disc. I haven't felt that relief since the last time they knocked me out for surgery. Now if you all can get something for the two lower dics in my back (L5-L6) & (L6-S1) plus something to ease the neuropathy in my feet I might become a tolerable human being. Thank You

Bethesda's Cheng says MS marketing is to blame for ODST backlash
Bethesda's production director, Ashley Cheng, has defended Halo 3: ODST's campaign length on his blog, stating that Microsoft's marketing machine is almost solely to blame for the consumer backlash and mixed reviews.
"Microsoft and/or Bungie totally bungled the marketing on this. First saying it was a standalone expansion pack, then coming out and saying wait, no, we're charging full price because – surprise! – we put "more" stuff in it and it's called Halo ODST now, vs it's original title, Halo Recon," he wrote.
"Like Microsoft was ever going to sell this for less than full price. It is a new Halo title, it'll sell like hotcakes no matter what.
"Because of the waffling, reviewers are now mentioning that Halo ODST may not be worth the price point, that it should've been cheaper, etc… Give me a break. First off, most games – especially first person shooters – are anywhere from 5-10 hours. Tops. What makes Halo different from others? You can't just ping Halo ODST for it.
"I bet if Microsoft hadn't screwed up the marketing messaging, there would less talk about pricing.

Bethesda: New Bungie game could only be published by top tier
Bethesda Softworks' Ashley Cheng has said on his blog that only a few current publishers, including Bethesda themselves, could release Bungie's new game.
"You can count on one hand the number of publisher's around who can afford to publish Bungie's next game: EA (via EA Partners), Activision, Ubisoft, Microsoft, and of course, Bethesda. I can only imagine how much it will cost to snag their next title," said Cheng.
He then went on further to state that Sony could easily publish it as well, but thought it was "unlikely".
"There is one more publisher who could get into the game: Sony. That would be interesting. Unlikely."
Bungie said a deal was close on a publishing deal for the game on Friday. Development was confirmed at TGS last October.
Thanks, Videogamer.

Barbecued Chicken Pizzas Recipe
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup barbecue sauce, divided
- 1 tube (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Gouda cheese
- 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
- Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 170°, basting frequently with 1/2 cup barbecue sauce. Set aside and keep warm.
- Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 12-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Lightly brush both sides of dough with oil; place on grill. Cover and grill over medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned.

Cover and cook each pizza for 4-5 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned and cheese is melted. Yield: 2 pizzas (4 pieces each).
Reviews for Barbecued Chicken Pizzas(13)
Sort By :
I rated this 5 stars because it was an excellent recipe. However, my DH would have to have 1 slice and a couple of tablespoons and that would be the end of any sodium for the entire day. I did very few things different and cut my sodium down to 255mg per slice. I left out the 1/4 t salt, changed the gouda to 1 cup (8 oz) of shredded swiss and used a ready-made low sodium crust. I also made a bbq sauce with 1/4 c brown sugar and 3/4c salt-free ketchup. Sometimes I make a crust with no sodium but others I love to be able to throw everything together quickly. I also always make an extra chicken breast when we are having them for something, cool it and chop it up to store in the freezer til I'm ready to make this again.
LOVED this pizza the first time we tried it. We love how easy it is to change the flavor by using different BBQ sauces and cheeses. We like a sweeter sauce with smoked provolone cheese.
As with all recipes you have to season your meat and veggies to your liking following the recipe to a T may not cut it. This recipe was really good, will make again.
i seasoned my chicken with garlic salt, mesquite flavored seasonin and cilantro flakes. i also added fresh cilantro to the pizza...i love the stuff.
I've been making pizza on my grill for a long time and this one is a keeper!
I'd like to give this 3 1/2 stars. It was good and I would make it again for a change of pace. It probably really depends on which barbecue sauce you use. I'd like to experiment with different ones.

Police fraud probe over Cockermouth store money
Last updated at 19:43, Thursday, 31 May 2012
A senior member of staff has been sacked from Cockermouth's Lakes Home Centre and police are investigating after allegations that money was taken from the company.
Police have confirmed that a 42-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of fraud and bailed while inquiries continue.
It is understood she lives in the town.
Lakes Home Centre managing director Patrick Lister said that a woman had been dismissed from the store's accounts department but would not confirm how much money was involved.
The arrest came after another employee found a discrepancy in the end-of-year accounts for the Low Road store.
The woman arrested had worked at the store since before Mr Lister took over in 2004.
He declined to comment further.
A spokeswoman for Cumbria police confirmed that the force had been contacted by a Cockermouth business regarding allegations of theft of money by an employee.
She said: "As a result, a woman aged 42 was arrested on suspicion of fraud and has been bailed until July 9, while police continue with their inquiries."

Oscars 2013: Best & worst moments
From Jennifer Lawrence's fall to William Shatner's "Star Trek" appearance, here are some of the best and worst moments from the 85th Academy Awards on Sunday night. By Patrick Kevin Day.

Makes David Letterman's Uma-Oprah-Uma routine look like a classic( Robert Gauthier / Los Angeles Times / February 24, 2013 )
Seth MacFarlane's opener proved to be one of the most bewildering Oscar openers in recent memory. With a cameo appearance by William Shatner squeezed into his old "Star Trek" uniform, a tribute to film nudity called "We Saw Your Boobs" with the Los Angeles Gay Men's Chorus and finally a song and dance with Channing Tatum, Charlize Theron, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Daniel Radcliffe, some people were probably numb by the time they got to the sock-puppet re-creation of "Flight" or MacFarlane's monologue jokes that seemed cribbed from Bob Hope circa 1965.

Thunderbolt Glow Plug - Standard Short
Intended for thin-head engines and engines that need reduced compression. Compared to the long plugs, these plugs have a shorter reach which works perfectly in some specialty engines that have a thin head. They also can reduce compression in standard or new engines that are a little tight at the top end. Engine running hot? Maybe this plug can cool it off without losing performance.

I Love, Love, Love this table! It is beautiful and of good quality at a reasonable price. I have been looking for a round table for my breakfast room for some time. Round is not easy to find in a size and stlye appropriate for a breakfast room. This table fits the bill perfectly. It is casual, ever so slightly distressed on the butter cream portion and ideal for what I was searching for. It was out of stock when I originally found it. I almost bought the black one instead, but decided to submit my email address and see if this one would come back in stock in a reasonable amount of time. Two weeks later, o.co emailed me and I placed my order right away. I'm glad that I waited. The back one is beautiful, bit this is the one that was right for me. also ordered two additional side chairs in a separate order. I was concerned that all six would not fit comfortably around a 48" table, so I waited for the table to arrive prior to adding the two other chairs. It seats 6 just fine. However, I keep only five of the chairs around the table when not in use because they push in nicely with just five. I use the other in another room unless needed. Shipping was quick and easy, had it in just a week's time. I can't say enough about this purchase!
Very happy with this set! Shopped around and found nothing comparable for look and price. Feels sturdy and substantial and much better quality than similarly priced table sets. The white wash is nice and warm, not bright white. Only complaint is that chairs are slightly unlevel once put together, but once on a thin carpet are fine and you would never notice.
This table is exactly what it looks like, only better. It is very solid and was a pleasant surprise. It is beautiful and we are so happy with it!!
Just what everyone has already said; beautiful, solid, sturdy, great value, great packaging and delivery. We have had the set for a few months now and are still delighted with the purchase.
I had never ordered furniture online before, however the other reviews gave me the confidence to make the purchase. My experience was positive. Table arrived in a week or so because it came from nearby Chicago area. Packaging was good, no scratches. Easy to assemble (ok, my husband did it, but it LOOKED easy enough). 2 chairs have a bit of a wobble, but nothing terrible. The color is more "white" than butter, which is what I wanted. Wood is more "walnut" than cherry color, like the other reviews said, so I was prepared. All in all, I think it is a great table for the price. I get lots of compliments on it, and everyone is surprised I found it online. Someone else mentioned it could hold 5 chairs...I disagree, but that is just my opinion.
This is a quality made small dining room set. I have had so many compliments on it. When it came very well packaged there was a small nick on the table top. I called overstock. They were excellent.I took a photo of the nick and they replaced the table top in very few days. that was surprising as the set does take a little time to arrive from freight due to its weight. It is worth the wait. it does take time to assemble.
The set is exactly as shown and looks beautiful in my kitchen. Blends nicely with my rustic luxe decor. Seats are comfortable even though they are not cushioned. The set is very well made especially for the price. (I looked at hundreds of sets.)
Table and chairs arrived with no damage at all. Easy to put together. Lovely set. Good quality and the color is an exact match to the picture.
Excellent value for price. Free shipping was a winner. Great style
Absolutely love this furniture.....looks great in my kitchen.

COLUMBIA — A zone defense is like a tuxedo for Columbia High basketball coach Mark Sandstrom.He only breaks it out for special occasions.
Tuesday was one of them as the Eagles shackled Waterloo all night with an effective zone defense that helped deliver a 46-40 victory.
"To be honest with you, we played zone for about the first time in three years tonight and I think we kind of threw them for a loop a little bit," said Sandstrom, whose team lost 33-28 to Waterloo on Dec. 26 at the Freeburg-Columbia Holiday Tournament. "I thought they were uncomfortable with it and that's a credit to our kids being active and doing what they were supposed to do.
Columbia (9-6) was coming off back-to-back Cahokia Conference losses to Freeburg and Central, but their longtime Monroe County rivals provided some inspiration on Tuesday.
Waterloo (9-6) had won five of its previous six games, but never could locate enough offense.
Columbia limited the Bulldogs to a 16-for-50 shooting night (32 percent) that included a string of 10 consecutive misses during a particularly cold second quarter.
The Eagles got 11 points from Adam Babb and 10 from Jacob Wessel. Michael Hunsaker contributed eight.
"Columbia came out with a tremendous amount of energy to start the game and we didn't really match it," Waterloo coach C.J. Cruser said. "It looked like we played hard, but they took it to a different notch and we didn't respond. We just ran out of time, ran out of bodies and ran out of energy.
"We struggled against their defense tonight. We didn't loosen them up and they stayed the way they were."
Helping add a bit of gasoline to the Eagles' motivational fire were off-balance shots by Hunsaker and Babb that fell at the end of the first two quarters.
Hunsaker's gave Columbia an 11-9 lead after the first quarter and Babb drained a running 3-pointer at the end of the first half to make it 28-16.
"There's five points right there and it was a four-point game when we fouled them at the end," Cruser said. "Every little basket does make a difference."
Trailing by 12 early in the second half, Waterloo kept hammering away at the Eagles' lead. The Bulldogs actually outscored the Eagles 24-18 in the second half, but Columbia's big damage was done in the first two quarters.
Two straight buckets by Kretchmer brought Waterloo to within 44-40 with 47 seconds remaining. Two missed free throws and two of Columbia's 21 turnovers helped create another opportunity for Waterloo, but Ryan Aycock missed a 3-pointer and the Eagles held on.
Waterloo missed its first 10 shots of the second quarter with Jared Lengacher finally ending the shooting drought with 1 minute, 37 seconds remaining in the half.
Columbia's 28 points in the first half matched its entire scoring total from the previous Waterloo game.
Sandstrom went to the zone to limit Waterloo's effective inside tandem of Shane Lenhardt and Justin Kretchmer. Lenhardt scored nine of his 15 points in the first quarter, but Kretchmer managed only six.
"It's pretty tough because I'm a man-to-man (defense) guy," Sandstrom said. "Everybody knows I'm a man-to-man guy and we do 45 minutes of it every day in practice. I just didn't think we could beat them man-to-man wise."
Girls Basketball
Columbia 49, Waterloo 48
While it was much closer than Columbia's 41-26 victory on Dec. 12, Waterloo dropped is second straight game to the Eagles this season.
Columbia (15-4), which rode a 20-point effort by Savannah Wittenbrink, held off a late charge by the Bulldogs (6-8) as a shot by Waterloo's Hope Elliott was off the mark just ahead of the buzzer.
Elliott led Waterloo with 17 points and scored nine of those in the final quarter to lead the charge. Katie Barton added 12 points for Columbia.
Granite City 53, O'Fallon 40

WarGames.MY 2011 – Can You Hack IT?
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – WarGames.MY 2011, Malaysia's first online capture the flag competition, aims to bring the fun of tinkering and puzzle solving back to hacking! The event will allow Malaysian 'hackers' to showcase their skills in a secure and contained environment and prove that they are amongst the best the country has to offer.
Organized by Hackerspace Kuala Lumpur (HSKL), a special interest group operating from Damansara Utama and sponsored by Hack In The Box (HITB) and System Defenders, the competition takes place online for a duration of 24-hours starting from 00:01 (MYT) on Saturday 2nd July and ends Sunday, 3rd July 2011 at 00:01 (MYT). The challenge will test participants in a variety of areas in IT security including reverse engineering, cryptography, network security, digital forensics, web application security and general puzzle solving.
"Competitions such as this online Capture The Flag (CTF) are excellent venues to identify individuals with the skills and the mindset of a real hacker," said RuFI0, team leader of The Sexy Kambingz (TSK) who are co-organizers of the competition.
"In any CTF, knowing how to run automated tools or compile publicly available exploits will get you nowhere as the challenges are custom written to test participants real knowledge of specific vulnerabilities. Anyone can run tools and scripts but it takes an actual hacker to understand how a vulnerability works, how to exploit it and further more, how to fix it," he added.
WarGames.MY 2011 also offers bonus challenges for participants to have a chance at winning complimentary training passes to this year's HITB Security Conference (HITBSecConf2011 – Malaysia) held from the 10th – 13th of October 2011. A cash prize of RM2000, sponsored by System Defenders, also awaits this year's competition winner.

Damn that looks good Robyn!
For my steaks, it depends. For ribeyes, I like doing them direct like this.
For fillet and strip, I have grown to liking the reverse sear for the ultimate steak experience. Admittedly it's a bit of a pain on the Egg, but it's worth it.
This steak looks awesome. Grand Western Steaks are the best. In my opinion it it hard to beat a steak cooked on the BGE.
After a lot of trial and error, I'm sold on making a blackened version using a cast iron griddle: Blackened Redemption.
Just steak, butter, salt, pepper, and heat. A little bleu cheese topping would be perfect.
I must say Robyn, you really make that look strip look good! Thanks for using Grand Western Steaks!!!
Hi Robyn,
Thanks for the recipe. One mistake in the that nearly turned into disaster is that you list medium rare is 145. It's 125. I was using my thermometer and the steak looked done at 125 and it was. Maybe even a little overdone! 145 would have no pink whatsoever.
I actually reverse seared last night on my egg and my filets turned out perfect. Best steak I've ever made on my egg.
You'll need some accessories. I have a large egg, a spider, a 13″ cast iron grid, and a plate setter.
In other places, I've seen people recommend stabilizing the egg at 250 and roasting with a temperature probe until your steak gets within 10 degrees of the final temperature.
I was more concerned with being able to rapidly get my egg into inferno mode, so I got a pretty good fire going to about 400 and then shut the vents down to where I'd normally do low and slow. It dropped to around 300 when I began roasting and didn't get much below that.
I had the Spider in with the 13 cast iron sitting on it, putting it just above the coals.
I had the plate setter in legs up with the regular grate on top of that, so that the steaks were cooking indirect.
Once the steaks reach temperature, I took them off, and foiled them, then took out the regular grid and plate setter off and set the vents for inferno and waited 10 mins. Temps got up to 650 and then I seared for about a minute and a half on each side.
Only thing I would change is next time I would only sear a minute. My steak turned out closer to medium well than the medium I was aiming for, but it was still juicy and tender with a nice crust.
Thanks Robyn and Winstonf–I tried Reverse Sear for the 1st time today on the BGE. I used Winstonf's cooking method and I seared for only 1 minute and they were perfect The steaks had a great taste , a nice crust and juicy.
Just got a green egg at Christmas…have a plate setter….what's a spider? Us there a recipe book anywhere for starters? Thanks…enjoyed reading your comments!

Recipe by redfisher80
"I made this one year for my dog and she ate it all up. The honey is optional, but it makes it sweeter for the dog...and yes, I tried some. It's pretty good."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 egg
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup cooking oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup honey (optional)
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup whole wheat or white flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
Awesome Recipe!!! I made it for my dog, Sparky's first birthday! We went to the dog park and all of the dogs got a piece. All of them went crazy over the cake and couldn't get enough of it! I did change one thing...I made icing out of honey and oeanut butter. Thank you so much for this recipe!!! :P
This is sick. Spending time on a BIRTHDAY CAKE for a dog. People care more about their dogs than human babies now it seems like. They don't have abortion for dogs. Only humans.

I made this recipe into pupcakes and donated them to the humane society for my birthday. Not before I let my Cookie try one--She loved it, and it didn't make her sick =)
I threw my puppy a birthday party for his first birthday and made this along with a couple of other doggie dishes. This turned out awesome! I cant wait to make it again next year.
Used this recipe to make pupcakes for my Dudley's 4th birthday. The "kids" loved them. Used extra peanut butter to frost, and yogurt drops to decorate. Thanks!
Made these last night for Milly's 2nd birthday & both of my dogs loved them! I followed the ingredients exactly as they were, but I filled jumbo foil cupcake baking cups placed on a cookie sheet for baking them. 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes and they were done!
It was fun to make with my boys and the dogs loved it! I was worried because the recipe did not call for water but it turned out perfect. We made it for our sweet Daisy's 70th (10 in people years) B-day!
Happy 10th birthday Mackie! I baked this in a 8x8 pan. I followed ingredients as directed. I spread some peanut butter on top as 'icing' and she loved this! Cute idea. THX

Some war-wounded need specific medical care, like orthopedic surgery, and around 95,000 people remain in Manik Farm camp. Additional medical capacities could be needed in the areas of return, as a result of the resettlement process. Medical needs gradually shifting from Vavuniya District to resettlement areasMSF has been discussing with the Sri Lanka Ministry of Health the medical support MSF could provide in the areas of return. In Jaffna peninsula, where tens of thousands of displaced people have recently arrived from the Vavuniya camps, MSF has been working with the ministry of health at Point Pedro hospital for years. In the Vanni, MSF has previous experience working in Mannar, Mullaitivu, and Killinochi districts. Surgical activity for war-wounded is not overOrthopedic and rehabilitation care remain a main medical priority identified by both the College of Surgeons of Sri Lanka and the MSF teams in the General Hospital of Vavuniya and in the MSF hospital. Over 50 spinal cord-injured patients are treated in Pampaimadhu Ayurvedic Hospital and rehabilitation care started one month ago. Consultations and mental health care in VavuniyaIn total, over 1,350 surgical procedures have been performed between June and end of November in the MSF hospital.

Forums >Health and Nutrition>So frustrated right now....
Now that was a bath...
I just took a peek at your log, and you are going to be able to run. You will not be one of those people whose knees always bug them. You already got past that stage. Those folks usually cant get started.
You may also benefit from new shoes, if you haven't tried that recently. No, I dont work for a shoe-company. But new shoes have solved my problems two out of two times now.
I have the same fears as you. I find it hard to control myself, to take it easy, to stop pushing myself. I like how running makes me feel, and I want more.
I have never heard of treadmills causing injuries. On the contrary, they're supposed to be easier on your legs:
A shoe issue sounds more likely. Did you like your old shoes? One bit of advice I've heard is that if you find a pair of shoes you like, stick with them (i.e., by several pairs while they're still available).
I was looking at the new shoes yesterday and I realize that it isn't very flexible at all. If I try to bend it at the front where the ball of my foot would be, it doesn't bend. Not like my previous shoes.
I read that running on a treadmill sometimes causes you to change your gait and thus possibly lead to injury.
Needs more cowbell!
You got brand new shoes and then went out and ran 10 miles on them? Did I read that right? Well, that might be your problem right there. Shoes need a little breaking in - and so do your feet. Most people I know wear their running shoes around for a few days, maybe go to the mall or take the dog for a walk ... and then do a couple easy, short runs first. For now, try alternating in your older shoes.

Spring Quarter 2006 |
California State University, Bakersfield
Volume 14, No. 3
In this issue
Winter 2007 Schedule
Congratulations to Jacqui, this year's outstanding graduating senior in history! As a serious student of history, she is a delight to have in class; it's clear that she seeks to gain as much out of her classes as she possibly can. Her strong overall GPA testifies to her commitment to excel academically.
Dr. Oliver Rink has known Jacqui since she began her studies at CSUB in winter 2005, and offers the following praise: "I have had the pleasure of teaching Jacquelyn Farnholtz in three courses. In each of them she stood out for her intelligence, hard work, and excellent writing. I could always count on Jacqui to have the answer to a discussion question, even when others squirmed in their seats lest I call on them. In senior seminar her analysis of our common readings was always sophisticated and spot on. Her paper was well researched, clearly argued, and persuasive. On the basis of her work for me, I have encouraged her to go to graduate school and pursue a Ph.D. in history."
As impressive as her academic achievement, however, is her ability to accomplish this while routinely working up to 50 hours a week. She has been going to school full time and in summers in order to complete her degree in four years. Her own hard work and success have inspired her to encourage other young people to enroll in college. As a store manager, she works with many college-age employees and has counseled and guided several of them in enrolling at BC, even helping them fill out their FAFSA forms. Having suffered a certain amount of adolescent turmoil, Jacqui, now a very mature 22-year-old, hopes to inspire others to overcome whatever difficulties they face and get a college education. Counseling helped her work through some difficult times as a teenager and then seize the opportunity to move forward: "[I] realized that life and education are a gift that is usually given only once. I survived when I shouldn't have, and decided to take the rest of my life seriously and pursue every dream I could to prove to the world that I deserved my second chance."
Jacqui plans to work on a single subject teaching credential next year, but after some encouragement from several history faculty, she thinks she'd also like to pursue history at the graduate level.

I'm in The Coast Guard Aux. I have tested radio and find it performed well. Make sure you enter your MMSI number correctly; you only get one chance or you must send it back to the factory to reset.. The polling feature is nice to to pole other boats and get their Lat/Lon. The on-board GPSR is nice. it is basic, but a bonus on a handheld radio. I have used Standard Horizon and Yaesu and have been happy with all.

I have used this radio, and fine the use, instructions, owners' manual, and features EXCELLENT!
I also love the main two features I bought it for - the "one button - emergency distress call, and that it floats. Easy to use and handle - and if a problem arises - it can come with you into the emergency floatation devise or into the water with you.
Highly recommended. And yes, you need a certificate to use it in Ontario - get the course.
