Good location, close to downtown Curitiba and adjacent to the Estação Shopping Mall (consider your restaurant needs met within walking distance). New hotel, common areas well maintained.

Renishaw's RLP40 and OLP40 lathe inspection probes offer a choice of radio or optical signal transmission technologies to make part setup and inspection on turning centers accurate and reliable. Measuring 40 mm in diameter and 58.3 mm long, the probes provide uni-directional repeatability of 1 micron and can be used to reduce setup times, scrap and fixture costs while improving process control, the company says. Both designs are hardened and sealed to IPX8 to withstand the extreme environments typical of lathes and turning centers. An eyelid protection system prevents entry of chips and debris that could damage probe internals.
IMTS 2012 will be the year's largest showcase of new product technologies and new process innovations. If you're looking for machining, tooling, systems, software, solutions and more, you'll find it at IMTS 2012.

No Child Soldiers poster from the French Organization, Demobilisons les Enfants Soldats
"The most dangerous places are those conflict zones where children are actively recruited into the fighting forces, and the current worst offender...is Uganda's Lord's Resistance Army," said Gareth Evans, head of the International Crisis Group think tank.
"Its recruiting, indoctrination and battle tactics have left countless children either dead, or dreadfully physically or mentally scarred."
During its brutal, two-decade insurgency, the cult-like rebel group has kidnapped up to 25,000 children to serve as soldiers and sex slaves. Each evening about the same number of child "night commuters" trudge into towns to avoid abduction.
Amnesty International: Child Soldiers
"What makes it even more dangerous is that no one is hearing about it... The long-standing and invisible nature of the situation has led to an entire generation of children growing up in camps," said Krista Threefoot of aid group Catholic Relief Services.
Military recruitment is also a major risk for children in Congo, as highlighted by former BBC war correspondent Martin Bell. "Despite partial demobilisation, (Congo) is believed to have more child soldiers than any other country in the world," he said.
He also pointed out that, here and in his other choices of Darfur and Iraq, poor security means large proportions of the population are beyond the reach of the aid agencies.
Congo's first free elections in 40 years, set for the end of July, are meant to draw a line under its 1998-2003 war that killed millions, but conflict still simmers in the lawless east, where disease, hunger and violence kill about 1,200 a day.
"Women and children are regularly targeted by illegal and armed militias and other predators, who perpetrate unacceptable acts of violence and rape against them," said U.N. aid chief Jan Egeland, who also selected northern Uganda and Afghanistan.
This video brings together Ben Okafor with other African artists: Alpha Blondy, Kidjo Angelica, Mama Keita, Lokua Kanza, Bibie, Monique Séka, Charlotte M"Bango, Aïcha Koné and Madéka. Their performance speaks to taking action to fight against the exploitation of the children soldiers.

Fromthe Catbird Seat...Cloquet native took Zen approach to lockout
While a junior at Cloquet High School, Jamie Langenbrunner never thought that one day he would help determine the future of the National Hockey League.By: Jeff Papas, Pine Journal
While a junior at Cloquet High School, Jamie Langenbrunner never thought that one day he would help determine the future of the National Hockey League.
Yet now, the 37-year old veteran has just finished his duties as a member of the National Hockey League Players' Association negotiating committee – and is getting ready to return to work as a member of the St. Louis Blues.
"That's a little surreal when you put it like that," Langenbrunner said, laughing as we talked on Wednesday.
He is one of 16 Blues players in town for practices, with the NHL season expected to start on Jan. 19.
"I guess I never would have thought of it like that," he added, "but I'm just glad I'm not the one making the final decisions."
While waiting for the start of the season, though, Langenbrunner focused his attention along different lines.
"I took part in the conference calls that were going on, but I didn't have a real active role on the bargaining team," Langenbrunner said. "There were 24 guys in the unit, and some had a bigger role. The guys who lived closer to New York and Toronto did that. So I just tried to enjoy these months with my family."
And he did.
Langenbrunner took an active role in coaching his two sons – one a Pee Wee hockey player and the other a Squirt – in the St. Louis area.
It was a great experience.
"Youth hockey in St. Louis involves a lot of travel," Langenbrunner explained. "We took some trips to Chicago and some trips to Detroit. Being around their teams was fun, getting to know their friends and their lives was great too."
Langenbrunner's daughter is a freshman at Shattuck-St. Mary's Academy in the Twin Cities and plays soccer, while her father plays on a one-year contract with the Blues.
It's that job that will now demand the majority of his attention. Langenbrunner, who broke into the NHL with Dallas in 1994, will start his 18th season in the league next week after playing 70 games last year.
He scored six goals and added 18 assists in 2011-12 to bring his career totals to 243 goals and 419 assists for 662 points in 1,105 games.
As a senior player in the league now, Langenbrunner is simply happy to be back on the ice.
"I'm excited to get back playing," he said. "That is what we want to be doing. I'm disappointed that it took that long to get [the lockout] figured out."
Yet, it might surprise you to learn that even if the sides hadn't settled and Langenbrunner had lost his career, it wouldn't have been a total loss to him.
"I didn't really get too concerned about [losing the season]," Langenbrunner said. "You miss playing, but I threw myself into [coaching] and didn't really think too much of it. I was pretty confident that something would be done at some point. I was quite happy with being able to enjoy a different part of life for a few months."
"If that was it (his career ending), that was it," he added. "It didn't bother me that much."
Of course, Langenbrunner's career is still going strong, which means it's time to get back to work – and fun – on the ice.
"I try to always have fun," he said. "When it's not fun playing, it's time to call it quits. For us, being one of the upper teams and having a shot at winning, I'm trying to figure out a way to win another Cup."

Hang tight!
Recipe by Tbot3446
"Moist, soft, and rich cookie that's always a hit!"
Watch video tips and tricks
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups quick cooking oats
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Very easy to make. Very moist and delicious!
This is the same recipe I bookmarked a year ago, but it has been altered, which totally threw me off. The recipe seems to be the same except for the addition of the cocoa. I'll have to write down the recipe as I think I know it and never rely on Allrecipes to be a solid cookbook if it can be altered so easily.
11 Ratings
Awesome cookie for chocolate lovers! I followed the recipe to a T. Very easy too.
Unfortunately, I did not like these as all. I guess I'm not as big of a chocolate fan as I thought. I found after the cookies were mixed, they were too dry, so it was hard to scoop onto a cookie sheet without the cookies falling apart. I won't make them again, but if I did, I would probably drop the cocoa and that way they aren't so chocolately and dry.
These are very tasty, but a bit hard to work with! I will try them again, but will use half the oats and half the chocolate chips - there just isn't enough dough to hold all the 'stuff' together!! I had to form the cookies with my hands, and even then, they barely stay together. But my kids and my husband love them, so will definitely give it a shot.
I love these cookies... They sooth the soul. I use a sugar/splenda blend for the sugar and they are still awesome...
My son begged for more and that doesn't happen.
My family absolutely LOVED these cookies... There were only 2 things I did different with this recipe. I added 1 1/2 tbs corn syrup along with an extra 1/2 cup white sugar because I don't like the way unsweetened cocoa tastes. It turned out FANTISTIC and I will continue to make these more often!!

In the Time of the Butterflies (Magill's Literary Annual 1991-2005)
Julia Alvarez's butterflies are the four Mirabal sisters, whose code name in the revolutionary underground was Mariposa, Spanish for butterfly. These women, daughters of Don Enrique Mirabal, a landed merchant-farmer who became prosperous and socially prominent, and his wife, Doña Mercedes, referred to as "Mamá" throughout the novel, were born into a rising middle class.
In the early 1930's, an ambitious military man, Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, barely literate and from humble origins, rose to be Dominican Chief of Military Operations. He seized the reins of government precipitously, declaring himself president after instigating the downfall of his predecessor.
Trujillo's meteoric rise to power had begun in the army. He advanced quickly as those in line before him mysteriously disappeared. As second in command, he assured his ascendancy to Chief of Military Operations by devious means. He knew that his superior was having an affair with another man's wife. One night he learned where the illicit couple planned to rendezvous. He informed the husband, who, lying in wait, killed the lovers in a jealous frenzy.
Trujillo thus became the second most powerful person in the country. He arranged his final ascent by engineering an uprising against the sitting president, then failing to respond to calls for help from the palace. As president, Trujillo, from whose regime Julia Alvarez's family fled to the United States in 1960 when...

Historical Context
The Trujillo Regime
The time period of the novel, 1938 to 1994, is dominated by the political regime of dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo (1891-1961) and its aftermath. Trujillo ruled the Dominican Republic from 1930 until his assassination in 1961. Before 1930, he had been trained by the American military forces who had taken control of the nation in 1916 and left in 1924. In 1930, he used his position as head of the Dominican military to assume control of the country. To ensure his election as president, his men brutalized political opponents and terrorized voters. He further secured his power by creating a secret police force that violently suppressed opposition to his rule, maintaining networks of spies, and taking control of the press and national education. He took over industries in the country and accumulated an immense fortune. To further trade and strengthen his regime, he supported American business interests in the country and maintained a strong anti-Communist stance.
His reign was characterized by...

Questions and Answers Part I: Chapters 1-4
1. How does each sister lose her innocence or faith in the novel's opening chapters?
2. Minerva says she "got free" after she moved away to go to boarding school. What does she mean by this?
3. The Mirabal sisters all learn in adolescence that Trujillo, the dictator who rules the Dominican Republic, is closer to their lives than they initially thought. Give at least three examples of Trujillo's proximity to their lives.
4. What do the Mirabal sisters learn about their father in the book's opening chapters?
5. How does Patria's faith shield her from the evils of Trujillo? How does it lead her to understand the nature of her country's dictator?
1. Dedé sees how her sisters' deaths have become spiritual as well as political symbols and how she is an object for reporters to interview and examine. Minerva befriends Sinita and learns of Trujillo. María Teresa learns of Trujillo's evils and must bury her diary to avoid political issues. Patria doubts her religion and grieves a lost baby.
2. Minerva realizes that she has been brought up in a sheltered environment at home with her family. By interacting with other students and sneaking off campus, she is exposed to other types of people and learns about the political regime governing her country.
3. Minerva learns a merchant she knows from the town square is one of Trujillo's hired killers. Minerva and the other students are asked to perform before Trujillo. Trujillo decides to court a student from the Mirabal sisters' school, Lina. Minerva befriends Hilda, a town girl who hides from Trujillo on the sisters' campus and whose association forces Minerva and María Teresa to bury their writings for fear of Trujillo.
4. He is having an affair with another woman. Their parents' marriage is shaken.
5. After Patria miscarries her third baby, she realizes that her Catholic faith has never been "tested" through misfortune. Her pain makes her doubt her decisions and faith, and she comes to understand the bitter resentment Minerva feels toward the government when she looks at the image of Trujillo mounted on a wall near a religious scene. She feels mistreated by God just as Minerva feels mistreated by the Dominican government.
(The entire section is 371 words.)
Questions and Answers Part II: Chapters 5-8
1. Dedé tells her companions she watches sports but doesn't play them. In retrospect, what does this reveal about her character?
2. "Something has started none of us can stop," says Minerva. What does she mean by this remark?
3. How does Minerva's pride both help and hurt her in initial interactions with Trujillo?
4. How does María Teresa get involved in the movement to overthrow Trujillo?
5. What impacts Patria's decision to join the movement?
1. Dedé's initial fear of embarrassment and risk-taking lead her to make major decisions based on fear, rather than her feelings. Her fear prevents her from getting to know Virgilio and leads her to marry Jaimito, and it also keeps her from participating in the politics that bring her sisters together in a united front against Trujillo.
2. Minerva's resistance to El Jefe's attention and her association with Lío have brought the family notoriety, and they will forever after live under the dictator's close watch—living under fewer freedoms than they had before.
3. Minerva is too proud to let the dictator use his power to get at her body, and she is also too proud to completely humor him—while she is strong enough to stand up for herself, her strength attracts and challenges Trujillo. This is because he wants to destroy that strength or see it focused on his and the regime's needs.
4. She becomes attracted to a gun runner code-named Palomino who frequently calls on Minerva and Manolo, and her feelings for the movement to overthrow Trujillo are laced with romantic feelings for this man, whose real name is Leandro and who marries her.
5. She witnesses the deaths of innocent Dominicans and young teens while she's on a religious retreat and decides this shouldn't become her children's fate. The church's support for a Trujillo overthrow also reinforces her decision, since she is religious.
(The entire section is 320 words.)
Questions and Answers Part III: Chapters 9-12 and Epilogue
1. How does the movement impact Dedé's marriage?
2. How does Dedé, the non-participating Mirabal, nonetheless participate?
3. How does Trujillo's regime respond when the church supports his overthrow?
4. How does Mate feel about her cellmates? What does she learn about humanity?
5. How does Minerva change in jail? What happens to the movement?
1. The question of Dedé's participation in the movement leads to productive arguments with Jaimito and leads to a redistribution of power in their relationship. Dedé gets more control, and Jaimito makes a little more room for her to live her own life.
2. Dedé realizes that just by being related to her three other sisters her fate as a Dominican and as a Mirabal family member is bound up in their actions.
3. Trujillo comes down against the church and forbids religious iconography and songs. They are now symbols of the movement against him.
4. Mate feels she has learned about people from other cultures and that not all criminals have evil intent when they do the things they do that land them in jail, especially in the Dominican Republic.
5. After her imprisonment, Minerva feels a desire to pass the leadership torch elsewhere and is physically and mentally exhausted. She feels unable to step back up to her former role. She actually wants to stay near home and raise her children, rather than remain at the forefront. Foreign countries get involved in sanctions and disapproval of Trujillo, and some inside the country wait for outside aid instead; the movement becomes fragmented.
(The entire section is 253 words.)
Literary Techniques
The story is broken into four parts in each section with each part told from the point of view of one of the four sisters. María Teresa tells her part of the story through her diary entries. Patria Mercedes' point of view accentuates her strong religious beliefs. Minerva is the leader, her principles upheld with each decision she makes. She lives her beliefs, whether at home or in prison. She does not allow her inner fears to change her decisions or her actions, standing up for what she sees as right. Each of the sisters is strengthened by the use of her personal point of view. Stavans wrote, "We have a quatrain of novellas, only one of which doesn't end in tragedy." Dedé's novella may not end in death, but tragedy is there nonetheless.
Alvarez adds richness and depth to her characters by using many Spanish words and phrases in the text. Stavans commented that "when you ask somebody what's up and no easy reply can be found, people are likely to say, 'Entre Lucas y Juan Mejia.'" '"Between the devil and the deep blue sea' isn't the right equivalent in English," Alvarez added, "because you aren't describing the sensation of being caught between a pair of bad alternatives.…" What are you caught between? How did you get there? And how does it feel to be there?
He went on to say that Alvarez "stands apart stylistically, a psychological novelist who uses language skillfully to depict complex inner lives for her fictional creations."

Ideas for Group Discussions
Trujillo ruled the Dominican Republic with an iron fist for over thirty years. He maintained his dictatorship by any means necessary in the beginning and by any cruel whim in the end. He was supported by his secret police and by the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States. He was also aided by the attitude of many of the people, expressed by Papá Mirabal as "don't annoy the bees."
1. Find out what other countries in Central and South America have been ruled by dictators. Which of these have been allies of the United States? Why?
2. Alvarez spoke of finding the place where her worlds collide or come together to be the most interesting when she is writing fiction. We all live in more than one world, some private and some public. Discuss ways we overlap and divide these worlds.
3. Identify and discuss problems in our nation that are "between the devil and the deep blue sea."
4. What happened in the Dominican Republic after the assassination of Trujillo?
5. What kind of government does the Dominican Republic have today?
6. Compare the lives of the people in the Dominican Republic today with their lives under Trujillo.
7. In an article for Library Journal, Alvarez gave her formula for choosing books to add to her personal library. She said she chooses authors whose work she has found add to her understanding of life, books recommended by other readers whose opinion she...

Social Concerns
A fictionalized biography of the lives of four young women growing up in the Dominican Republic under the dictator Raphael Leónidas Trujillo, In the Time of the Butterflies brings alive the terror and anxiety of living in that time and place. The overarching concern is human rights, played against the consequences of a dictator's ability to gain total control over a nation, holding the lives of the people hostage to his whims. Underlying concerns are the rights of women in any society, freedom to make choices, and the right to live in a free society. "May I never experience all that it is possible to get used to"—Violeta's prayer while in the prison cell with the sisters—is a poignant reminder that people can lose their freedom if they allow themselves to become unconcerned.
Alvarez, having fled to New York as a child with her family to escape Trujillo, has noted that she finds her identity divided, a trait common among people who find they have to adjust to a new country and new culture. In DISCovering Authors, she said: "I am a Dominican, hyphen, American. As a fiction writer, I find that the most exciting things happen in the realm of that hyphen—the place where two worlds collide or blend together." Validation of these feelings is a universal concern in Alvarez's writing.
Born in 1891 to impoverished parents, Raphael Leónidas Trujillo, also known as El Jefe, entered the Dominican Republic's National Guard in 1919....

Compare and Contrast
I960: Trujillo rules the country. No opposition party exists. No genuine elections are held. Joaquín Balaguer is Trujillo's puppet president.
1996: Balaguer steps down from the presidency. He held the office from 1966 to 1978 and from 1986 to 1996, winning in rigged elections. The new president, Leonel Fernandez Reyna, is elected with Balaguer's support. The election is judged non-corrupt. His vice-president is Jaime David Fernandez Mirabal, Dedé Mirabal's son. Patna Mirabal's son Nelson Gonzalez Mirabal is the vice-president's chief aid. Minerva Mirabal's daughter Minou Tavares Mirabal is deputy foreign minister.
1960: A 137-foot obelisk stands in Cuidad Trujillo. The dictator erected it in his own honor.
1999: The obelisk in the renamed Santo Domingo is adorned with a mural of the four Mirabal sisters. It is a monument to all who struggled for liberty in the country.
1960: On November 25, Patria, Minerva, and María Teresa Mirabal are killed under Trujillo's orders.
1999: November 25 has been designated the International Day against Violence against Women in the Mirabals' honor.

Topics for Further Study
Discuss whether writing a fictional account of real people is a valid or fair means of depicting them for an audience. Take into consideration Alvarez's comments in her postscript to In the Time of the Butterflies.
Research the life of a woman who, like the Mirabals, fought for human rights or political change at great personal risk. The list of subjects is quite long, but some possible choices include Harriet Tubman of the Underground Railroad, Qui Jin of China, Ruth First of South Africa, Fannie Lou Hamer of the American Civil Rights Movement, Rigoberta Manchú of Guatemala, or Aung San Suu Kyi of Burma.

Literary Precedents
Mother Tongue, by Chicana poet Demetria Martínez, is the story of a young Chicana who falls in love with a refugee from El Salvador. The young man is exiled to the United States after being tortured as a counterinsurgent in his own country. Reviewer Elizabeth Martínez said that "good novels with political themes are a rare treat. Here we have not one but two: along with Butterflies comes Mother Tongue." She went on to compare the books interwoven personal and political themes, maturation of young female characters, links between spiritual and political matters, journal structures, and the different voices used. She claimed, "Both are treasures."
Stavans likened Alvarez's style to that of Israeli writer A. B. Yehoshua. He wrote that "by intertwining disparate literary forms (journals, first-person accounts, correspondence, drawings, etc.) Alvarez allows each Mirabal to acquire her own voice." Writing in DISCovering Authors, critic Carla N. Spivack said: "One of Yehoshua's fundamental beliefs is that Israelis must break free from their past in order to live successfully and freely in the present and future.…" Minerva and the revolutionaries also believe their country must break free of Trujillo's rule if the people are to live successfully and in freedom.

How the García Girls Lost Their Accents, published in 1991, is Alvarez's first novel. Largely autobiographical, the work features a collection of stories about Dominican sisters who grow up in el norte, America, having escaped from Trujillo's tyranny. Sybil Steinberg, reviewing the book in Publishers Weekly, noted that Alvarez "has an ear for the dialogue of non-natives, and the strong flavors of Dominican syntax and cultural values." Told from multiple points of view, the stories record the rebellion of young, first-generation American women against their parents. Alvarez uses each of their accounts of the events in their lives to show how they adapt themselves to the new country and society. These adaptations do not always please the parents. Alvarez won the Pen Oakland/Josephine Miles Award for excellence in literature for this debut novel.
The Other Side: El Otro Lado, a book of poems by Alvarez, was published in 1995. It traces "a lyrical journey through the landscape of immigrant life … [and] ends with the title poem 'The Other Side/El Otro Lado,' a multi-part narrative recounting her return to her homeland as a woman transformed—translated—by the years she has lived in America from native to guest," as described by a reviewer in Publishers Weekly. Homecoming: New and Collected Poems (1996) adds to her collection of the same name published in 1984.

What Do I Read Next?
- Like In the Time of the Butterflies, Alvarez's first novel, How the García Girls Lost Their Accents (1991), revolves around the lives of four sisters. In this semi-autobiographical work, she depicts their struggles both as Dominican immigrants to the United States and as women.
- Something to Declare, published in 1998, is a collection of personal essays by Alvarez. She discusses several aspects of her life, including her search for information about the Mirabal sisters in "Chasing the Butterflies" and the impact of Trujillo on her family in "Genetics of Justice."
- The Woman Warrior (1976) by Maxine Hong Kingston inspired Alvarez. This acclaimed work is based on Kingston's experiences. It foregrounds Chinese cultural expectations, such as the imposition of gender restrictions and the perceived dangers of storytelling, with which contemporary Chinese-American women must contend.
- Edwidge Danticat's 1998 novel The Farming of Bones employs fiction to portray the impact of Trujillo's 1937 massacre of Haitian immigrants in the Dominican Republic.

Coincidence or political guiles?Starting this month, the country's drug prices fell by double digit rates as the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) slashed price tags of a total of 6,506 medicines, about a half of total covered by medical insurance. The policy aimed at eliminating the so-called illegal kickbacks from drug firms to doctors or pharmacists was decided last summer but it went into effect just 10 days before the April 11 parliamentary election. On top of its administrative procedures, the MOHW says that pharmaceutical firms, hospitals and pharmacies needed the grace periods, which were longer than seven months, to prepare for the step. Yet, some observers cast suspicious eyes since the measure was effectuated just days before the parliamentary election despite the strong oppositions from pharmaceutical firms, which even brought the case to the court. Their rationale: the Ministry might pick the date at April 1, not other dates like May 1, because the lowered drug prices would help the governing Saenuri Party, which stages close rallies with opposition parties in the election. To boost their footing, they also pick up the fact that former Minister of Health and Welfare Jin Soo-hee, also a lawmaker at the Saenuri Party, spearheaded the introduction of the policy. Without regarding to what is true, Jin would not be happy. In case the remarks of the critics hold some truth, Jin would be angry because the Saenuri Party opted not to nominate her for the April 11 election in spite of her efforts to underpin the party. Some even suspect of the North's expected launch of a long-range rocket that continues to grab headlines of South Korean newspapers of late. The general belief is that any threats from Pyeongyang tend to generate woes on national security thus helping parties with conservative philosophies like the ruling Saenuri Party. Similar things happened in the past. One week before the parliamentary election in April 1996, the North vows not to accept the demilitarized zone (DMZ), which has been maintained during 40 years after the end of the Korean War (1950-53). In response, the South jacked up its defense readiness. But the atmosphere of South-North standoff disappeared as soon as the election came to an end after then ruling party took 139 seats of the overall 299. Back then people had no clue what happened but they could guess what might take place behind the scene later when officials in the South asked the North to make a fire ahead of the 1997 presidential election. Yet, not everybody see the North up-and-coming missile launch under such a perspective. ``In the past, such strategies might work. But now people got far smarter and anybody who adopt the same tactics might suffer from backlashes rather than positive effects,'' a Seoul analyst said. ``You should know that the North may have determined the timing on their own because their remarks will have more influence during the time of election campaigns.'' |

Perfect for welding tubing
By EvilSteve
from Warren, MI
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Chicago Electric Welding 4-3/4'' Multipurpose Magnet Holder:
These things are perfect for holding square and round tubing together while welding.I pull these out to use any time I need to weld something together at a 90 or 45 degree angle, and can't easily otherwise clamp my work in place.The magnets are powerful enough to hold work with the tools flat outer edges, but are recessed so they'll hold round tubing together even more tightly.They do an outstanding job holding metal in place until it's tacked together, then can be easily moved out of the way and repositioned for the next weld.I don't do a lot of welding, but when I do, I can never seem to have enough of these around.Their usefulness can't be beat for their price!

I used the magnet to hold sheet metal for butt joints. It held the pieces level and I was able to do the work a little easier. I would recommend this its cheap enough and work fine.

i second that ! works well
By Dave
Im very happy with mine,will probably buy a few more
Pretty happy with it
By KLP
from Mead, CO
Overall pretty good. It cries out for a hole in the center or even one of the corners to improve the functionality.
Good for holding small pieces of metal
By grandam88
from houston, tx
See all my reviews
For the price the item is okay.It holds no where near 25 lbs. the problem is they used a circle magnet encased in plastic making weak. And yes the plastic does melt, best advice is to tack your piece in a few spots and pull holder off, as it will start melting easily.
Overall happy but be careful
By Matt
Overall happy but I don't think it holds the full 25lbs. Be careful welding too close to it though as the magnet portion will melt!! I have probably 6 of these and they work great, just a bit of a "learning curve" lol

This item, quite frankly, is a joke. For its size and weight, you would expect it to be able to hold something more than a can opener! Bought it - and threw it away the very next day; useless.

My friend Caroline and I, who met my junior year of college, joke that we've known each other since birth. We had a instant kinship the first day we met in journalism class.
We also both had dogs named Booger. I mean, come on — what are the chances?
Caroline was also the first person I thought of when I read about the booger-flavored ice cream that's for sale this summer at The Ice Cream Store in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
If you immediately thought "Gross," you're probably not the target market. Kids are. And they have made the snotty-sounding flavor the second most popular at the shop. Actually, "Booger" sounds pretty good once you hear the ingredients. It's made with cake batter that's tinted booger green with swirls of caramel and little Lucky Charms marshmallows.
I'm up for anything with caramel in it. And customers say it tastes a lot better than it looks.
Oh — the number one flavor is something called "Ooey Gooey," which contains Oreos, caramel and fudge.
Wonder what that looks like…

What is the difference between do-follow and no-follow?
What is the difference between do-follow and no-follow?
Do follow and no follow are the most important factors for the Ranking and for good Page rank. When you put your website links on third party website and if that website provides do follow future then it will help your website from both the perspective, ranking and page rank because those links crawl by search engine crawler. While in no follow you are not putting any of links on other website. So we can say Do follow pass link juice (PageRank) while no follow doesn't.
Do-Follow links are visited by Google crawler but No-Follow links can drive traffic to your site but Google robot does not visit no-follow links.
Google is counting your inbound links to manipulate your site's PR. If your inbound link is do-follow then it will be counted in
calculating PR while no-follow link is not counted in calculating PR.
Do follow links are those, which the search engines will crawl, whereas no follow links will not be crawled by the search engines.
Dofollow links allows the search engine robots/crawlers crawl the link. With Do follow link, you will gain the backlink from the website. This help to increase your page rank. Nofollow links stops search engine spiders/bots to follow a link.
Do follow link pass the value and authority to the linking content/website, on the other hand no follow links may drive traffic towards website but doesnt pass the authority and value to the connecting links.
do-follow links consider as backlink by google these are important to get high ranking on google like <snip>
where as no- follow link are just link which redirect or open other web page, never consider as backlink nor help in getting rank in search engine.

UPDATE: For a further enlightening discussion of the gaps in the USPTO full text database, please see the comment section of this post (click the word "Comments" where it appears at the very end of this post).
Recently, a message came over Carl Oppedahl's PAIR discussion list highlighting a mysterious gap in the USPTO's online patent database: data seemed to be missing for patent numbers between 6,363,527 and 6,412,112.
Rick Neifeld, of Neifeld IP Law, responded that his 1999 survey into the PTO's data revealed many errors in the USPTO's data, as many of us have probably suspected for some time. Rick's description of these errors is very interesting:
The dirt consisted of things as minor as numerous misspellings of assignee names, or HTML pages non compliant with HTML standards, to HTML text that could not be deconstructed into component sections due to HTML formatting errors, assignment records that were combined, corrupt, unreadable.
I absolutely expect our current crop of electronic patent database to contain massive numbers of errors. We have to expect this, if only because of the sheer amount of information involved. Another reason might be that the economic model of patent data production does not really encourage the national patent offices to maintain high quality electronic patent data. There are millions and millions of patent documents pouring out of government-run institutions (without a profit motive for perfection), and errors are bound to be rampant.

Despite the prominence of religious believers in politics and culture, America has shrinking congregations, growing dissatisfaction with religious leaders and more people who do not think about faith, according to a new study by a Duke University expert.
In "American Religion: Contemporary Trends," author Mark Chaves argues that over the last generation or so, religious belief in the U.S. has experienced a "softening" that effects everything from whether people go to worship services regularly to whom they marry. Far more people are willing to say they don't belong to any religious tradition today than in the past, and signs of religious vitality may be camouflaging stagnation or decline.
"Reasonable people can disagree over whether the big picture story is one of essential stability or whether it's one of slow decline," said Chaves. "Unambiguously, though, there's no increase."

Product 100/1941
Roberta Richardson had left the big doors of her auto repair shop open so many times while working late, she hadnt given it a second thought tonight. It never occurred to her some hairy beast might skulk out of the nearby woods and come inside, but one did. She could hear his footsteps on the concrete floor. A familiar growl announced his presence.
Hey, Bobbie, whats shaking?
Justin Hastings deep voice echoed through the quiet garage. Roberta lost her grip on the rusty bolt that had been getting the better of her for the last half hour.
Arent you even going to say hello for old times sake?
Roberta ignored him. She was going to get this alternator out of here, and the big ape trespassing on her property would just have to wait until she was done. Which at this rate would be sometime next Tuesday.
I know its you, Bobbie. Id recognize that butt anywhere.
Justin smacked her ass with his large hand, but it took a few seconds for the action to register in her brain. Once it did, she straightened, striking her head on the trucks hood. She shrieked and jumped down from the tire. The pain spreading across the back of her head added fuel to the fire that was igniting within her.
Want me to kiss it and make it better? Justin teased. His topaz blue eyes shimmered with merriment in the glare of the shop light fastened to the sport utility vehicles hood.

The Incredibly Delicious Flourless Chocolate Cake Company opened as a mail-order business in 1995. Problem was, the phone never rang. "We had 1,000 pounds of chocolate and nothing to do," says owner-chef Patrick Groth, who studied French cooking before starting the business. "So we opened a one-room bakery and sold baguettes and chocolate cake. We were open for three days when we had such a line at noon that we decided we had to serve lunch."
Now, Patrick and family live above the bakery-cafe, which occupies the main floor of an 1845 Italianate mansion in Springfield's Aristocracy Hill, near Abraham Lincoln's home. The menu includes buttery chocolate croissants, sweet-tangy lemon tarts, locally sourced salads, sandwiches (including a showstopping Mediterranean melt), soups and breads.
But that decadent flourless cake remains the star. Rich with three kinds of imported French chocolate, it features a shiny ganache and a texture seemingly too light to be made of chocolate. And true to tradition, the helium-light layered red velvet cake no more than teases with the taste of chocolate.
In a town with its share of chain restaurants, the Delicious mansion is an oasis. Behind arched windows wait four distinct dining rooms, and greenery hides two outdoor areas. Somehow, life feels a bit slower here—and definitely richer (incrediblydelicious.com; 217/528-8548). - Kate Silver

DJ Soulstone - DJ Contest Luminosity Before the Energy
DJ Name: DJ Soulstone
Age and location: 26, Berlin (Germany)
Since the mid 90s I listen to EDM and back in 2003/2004 I fell so deeply in love with Trance that I decided to start mixing somewhen in 2005. Since then it was nothing else but vinyl for me and I will keep on mixing the black gold as long as I can get them. It's just pure bliss to see the wheels of steel spinning while from the speakers or headphones the music that I love is playing. So everything that counts to me in the end is the flow of a set. I don't care about release dates, about fashions or current favourites of the masses. Into the Trance is where I want to lead the people.
My heart beats at 140bpm and my mind likes to merge with the positive waves of the sound.
That's all you need to know about my "Bio", I think.
Equipment used:
Vinyl rules!
2x Reloop RP-4000 MKII
Behringer VMX-300
Apperently I'm the only one here mixing on an equipment that costs less than 1000€.

Joe Wilson, Meet Russell Tice
You don't have to be a political operative to figure out that Democrats will earmark NSA "whistle-blower" Russell Tice as this year's answer to Joe Wilson, and use his allegations to tar the Bush Administration. And so far, Mr. Tice seems quite willing to go along for the ride.
Mr. Tice is the former NSA employee who went public with information on the agency's domestic surveillance program. He has admitted that he was "one of the sources" for the NYT article that first exposed the program last month. Since then, he has claimed "whistle-blower" status, and is prepared to testify before Congress. Tice told ABC News that he believes some of the NSA's Special Access Programs (SAPs) were operated in ways that violate the law. However, he did not specify how the agency may have crossed the line.
Tice also believes that he isn't in legal jeopary, as long as he doesn't divulge classified information. That's a little like dropping a match in a gas can and hoping it doesn't explode. Given the nature of his work at the NSA, any testimony that Tice gives to Congress will quickly enter the classified realm, and probably result in the disclosure of extraordinarily sensitive information.
In fact, Tice's willingness to talk with Congress sets up an immediate legal battle with his former employer. As the NSA noted in a letter to Mr. Tice (and posted on the ABC News website), none of the Congressmen or staffers are cleared for the SAPs that Tice wants to discuss. Disclosure of highly-sensitive information to unauthorized personnel could put Tice in legal jeopardy, despite his claim of whistle-blower status. According to the NSA letter, Tice is required to file a formal complaint with the agency's inspector general, and comply with NSA and DOD guidelines in contacting Congressional committees and providing information to them.
I'm guessing that Tice will probably reject these demands, as an attempt to delay or dilute his testimony. Mr. Tice clearly has a bone to pick with the NSA; the agency revoked his security clearance last year (due to reported "psychological concerns"), and later dismissed him. Tice claims that NSA uses such justification to get rid of troublemakers and whistleblowers.
Perhaps. But it's also worth noting that the agency may have been entirely justified in removing Tice's clearance. Unfortunately, it would be difficult--if not impossible--for the agency to discuss Tice's alleged problems, since the diagnosis and/or treatment of psychological conditions would be protected by doctor-patient confidentiality and (perhaps) the Privacy Act.
In other words, Tice seems to have the NSA boxed into something of a legal corner. While he has sought assurances that any information provided to Congress will be "protected," Mr. Tice clearly realizes that even closed-door testimony will quickly leak to the press. So much for his desire to "safeguard" classified information. Meanwhile, his "whistle-blower" status and medical confidentiality rules will keep the government from making much of a media counter-attack, let alone prosecute him for divulging secrets. Tice will become the new darling of the liberal left, and the bane of the Bush Admnistration. Could a Vanity Fair cover be in the offing? And don't forget about a possible book and movie deal.
Tice told ABC that NSA operated with the mindset that "we've got to get these guys" (terrorists). In other words, the agency wanted to do its job, and prevent future terrorist attacks against the United States. It's also worth noting that, based on what we know so far, there is no indication that the agency violated the law, except through the eyes of Russell Tice and his new friends in the MSM. As a dismissed staffer, Mr. Tice clearly has an axe to grind with the NSA, just as Joe Wilson had his agenda in advancing false claims about his trip to Niger.
For the record, Mr. Wilson was later exposed as a liar by no less than three government commissions (two U.S., one British), but that really didn't matter. After endless regurgitation by the MSM, Wilson's allegations had taken on a life of their own, and became widely accepted as the gospel truth. The validity of Mr. Tice's claims has not been determined. But based on what we know right now, his assertions about illegal NSA activity seem a little suspect. But that doesn't matter; administration critics in the MSM and the Democratic Party will eagerly embrace his charges, and repeat them so frequently that much of the public will accept them as true. Meanwhile, the NSA surveillance program will be subverted, our national security jeopardized, and Russsell Tice can continue advancing along the Joe Wilson career path.

High Road entrance
Talk14this wiki
Redirected from High Road
High Road entrance | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
High Road entrance is a location in the Divide in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.
The High Road entrance is composed almost entirely of a highway that once cut through the center of Hopeville. It is now a ruin, complete with fallen skyscrapers and abandoned vehicles. The highway is, for the most part, contiguous, with just a few deadly gaps.
A Commissary terminal is on the back of the truck just past Beast's encampment.
Notable lootEdit
- Marked beast face helmet - a unique helmet found on Beast.
Just after the Commissary terminal near the High Road Entrance, there is a large hospital cross sign laying on the road. When approaching this sign, Ulysses can be seen in the large building to the right of The Crow's Nest. He walks into the open, standing briefly in front of the partially obscured Exit sign in the building, then walks out of sight. Firing at him draws no reaction.
High Road entrance appears only in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.
Lonesome Road, there is a small chance a deathclaw will spawn. This deathclaw appears on your compass as the usually red blip, but is nowhere visible until the Courier passes a certain area. This deathclaw seems to have increased damage as it can easily kill a level 50 Courier in one hit. Going through the collapsed overpass tunnel seems to solve this problem, but save before you fast travel. Four deathclaws may spawn on the High Road upon entering the it. The one that is standing on top of the trailer will charge to the Courier when seen, but sometimes may just fall off the road and die. [verified]
If the Courier fast travels to any of the locations in the High Road section of theGalleryEdit

In a growing effort to help feed the hungry, a group of community members met for the Ross County Hunger Summit, at the library annex, Tuesday afternoon. Bud Scharfetter, with the agency council for Mid-Ohio Food Bank, said they hold a variety of programs: Produce Express, which allows agencies to pick up produce to distribute to their clients; Produce Drops, where 5-9 tons of produce are dropped off and distributed to those in need; Mobile Markets, in which produce is brought and distributed with the leftovers taken to other locations.
The key, Scharfetter said, is to make healthy choices and education available to those in need.
"Handing them a bag of carrots is not going to solve a problem, but giving them carrots and teaching them how to cook with it and making them understand that it's an enjoyable and decent process and that it is a good thing to do, will eventually bring that group out of poverty."
Scharfetter said organizers and volunteers work to serve those in need in a dignified way.
"This is not a comfortable situation for (those in need), and it's our duty really to do this not in some lofty manner in our part but to say, 'Hey, we understand this problem; it could be any one of us, and we're here just to help.'"
Two produce drops will take place in Ross County this month. The first will be from 10am to 2pm, March 29th, at the Bainbridge Fire House on West Fifth Street; the other will take place from 10am to 1pm, March 30, at the Mt. Tabor Church Fellowship Hall.

So, are there any warhammer 40k fans out there?!
Are there any brave enough to explore deep into the halo stars themselves, to seek glory and gain in the face of extreme danger?
So im getting a group of 4-6 players together for an rp on the casual level, i am an experienced GM and i will be running games that i have run before IRL.
Now having players that know the rules to rouge trader would be great, or dark heresy, only war and death watch even.
Because i plan to use the rule system and the books, to some degree anyway, however it will still be quite free form if that makes sense.
If you don't know the rules or the universe of 40k but you do want to rp in the grim dark future of mankind where there is only war, where everyone you meet is probably plotting to kill you or steal something from you, and out in the cold endless void there are always beasts lurking...
So what say you explorers?
Are you ready to follow your rogue trader and Lord captain into the un explored stars on the far reaches of mankinds domain? To furthur the dynasty that you are part of?
What say you?

text: Fans of Suzanne Collins' dark teen trilogy as well as newcomers to the series should find the film of The Hunger Games satisfying. It's a gripping story, well-told. Four weeks after its release, box office numbers testify to the movie's power. It's less clear how much of Games' biting political message is getting digested, but its overwhelming popularity suggests that at the least, the tale is extraordinarily timely.


text: Q: Ira, there was a national columnist (not a fan) who said that Frank Vogel would outcoach Erik Spoelstra in this series. I wonder what he's saying now, with Vogel keeping Roy Hibbert out on LeBron James' winning drive. Vogel said Hibbert is the best vertical defender, or something like that, and then he doesn't have him in for his team's biggest defensive sequence of the season? We're lucky they have Vogel. -- Sam, Miramar.

Brix is my go-to restaurant when I have people visiting me. They have lots of different options and the service is always good. It's also not too expensive which is a plus.
Very good service, clean, fresh made pizza with real mozzarella, nice bar area. We were there for lunch and it was busy, quiet, understand it is college hangout evenings and weekends. We would definitely go there again.
We usually eat here at least once during our visits to our daughter at college. Good pizza, appetizers and drinks.Gets crowded and you have to wait sometimes but worth it.
We were here on a Friday evening as the dinner crowd was just starting. Loved our menu choices along with the ambience. We tried 3 or 4 dishes and each one was fantastic, a lot of effort on the part of the owners. Had to try one of the brick oven pizza's and it was grest, just loved it. Great... More
Good pizzas, beer selection, friendly and helpful wait staff. A stumbling old local drunk sort of ruined our meal, but the staff did a nice job dealing with him. We were passing thru traveling from toronto to ny- wouldn't necessarily rec for families with young kids bc this is essentially a college bar, but for adults a nice, clean, fun... More
It seemed like everyone in our group truly enjoyed their meals. There was a great selection with some differently prepared menu items. Large portions. We sat outside, they might want to put up a sturdier railing as I kept trying to put my arm on it, repeatedly to find out that it was wobbly...my bad habit of trying to lean... More
We really enjoyed the opportunity to try the local craft beers and the pizza was delicious. We went at an "off time" during the day and found it a good place to relax and talk
The food was fantastic, great beer selection. Clean and awesome atmosphere, located right on main street so it was convenient and easy to find.
We liked the look of this place from the street, so we decided to try it. The food was very good. I had a Napoli pizza, which had a crispy thin crust and tasty toppings. My daughter had a 3 Little Pigs Calzone and my husband had the Bourbon BBQ Burger. Both had good things to say about their entrees.... More

Cloud Cult surprises former choir director
By: Jill Hansen, Two Harbors, Lake County News Chronicle
When I first heard of Cloud Cult, I admit to being a bit skeptical. What kind of music could this be? Is it a cloud? A cult? What is it?
It just so happened that Cloud Cult was playing at the Big Top Chautauqua in Bayfield and since I volunteer there, I signed up to work the concert and see for myself. I was in for a BIG surprise.
The audience attracted by this group ranged in age from quite young (age 8) to well past middle age. Everyone ( and I mean everyone) was SO enthusiastic about seeing this group of performers. I was quite intrigued by all of this wonderful enthusiasm.
When the music started, I was quickly drawn into the meaningful lyrics and toe-tapping rhythms. Another interesting and fascinating event happening on the stage was the artwork.
Cloud Cult has 2 professional artists who paint beautiful paintings during the show. The canvases are approximately the size of a 4'x8' sheet of plywood and they spin as the artists ply their large and small brushes to the canvas. It is impossible to see what the final product will be until the very end of the show when there is a silent auction to see who takes home these beautiful works of art. Fascinating!
By the end of the concert, the audience was on its feet, dancing and clapping. All of my trepidation about the name 'Cloud Cult' is gone. They are a socially and environmentally conscious group so maybe they should be called 'Cloud Culture'? Nah...It's just fine as it is!
Come and join me and the rest of the Northern Lake County Arts Board on Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. at the Kelley High School Auditorium and see for yourself. I'm sure you'll not regret it.

Engaging, funny, superbly acted and a beautiful snapshot of a Hollywood Goddess
By TheyCallMeMrGlass (44 reviews) from London , 20 Jan 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
I just caught this film on its final leg in the cinemas. So glad I did as this turned out to be a wonderful and strangely uplifting drama, despite the ultimate tragedy that would eventually befall Marilyn.
The performances from the main leads are splendid but Michelle Williams is a knockout. She has done an astonishing job of not just embodying the complexity and mystique of the most glamorous star the world has ever known but she also imitates the nuances and body language of Marilyn superbly. She deserves at least a nomination for this.
I have been awestruck by the real Monroe ever since I saw her for the first time in Some Like it Hot, so I can completely believe that men have literally fallen under her spell, tainting their solid relationships with their wives/girlfriends by 'fatefully' crossing her path. That's what this film is about really, giving two examples simultaneously in a 1 week snapshot during the making of The Prince and The Showgirl in 1957. The first example is Sir Laurence Olivier played brilliantly by Brannagh who has already fallen 'victim' to Marilyn's mesmeric beauty and charm but now becomes frustrated with her 'method' acting and punctuality, feeling out of her league and ultimately not being able to seduce her. The other 'victim' is a young upstarter ambitious film assistant who is succumbing to her spell and finds himself deeply intimate with her (the film is told from his point of view).
The film also touches on what would eventually be the Marilyn's tragic end but thats not the main story being told here.
Judi Dench lends her usual gravitas, delightfully soaking up the very few scenes she is given, even though she seems to play the same role in every film these days (even as M), she's always enjoyable to watch. Emma Watson plays a short role as a passing love interest and is lovely in the role but this is a comfort zone for her as the role is not too much of a departure from her 'Hermione'.
Overall, this is very engaging, funny and a beautifully made drama.- Was this review helpful to you?

A true insight to Monroe
By missmartin (21 reviews) , 11 Apr 2013A unique and touching story about the week a young man spends with the most famous actress of our time, while trying to make a career for himself in the film industry. This story is straight from the diary which Colin Clark kept at the time, therefore it has a real quality, that leaves you feeling you have had a true insight to Monroe, troubles and all. It is sad to see how much she suffered behind closed doors, but helps you understand how this icon could have spiralled to the tragic end her own story has. If she surrounded herself with more people like Colin who loved the private Marilyn equally as much as the public one, then maybe it would have been a different story altogether. Williams was convincing in parts, a great effort, but Monroe was so unique, no one will ever play her perfectly.- Was this review helpful to you?

By Zebras22 (116 reviews) , 28 Mar 2013Average British film, but well acted and directed. It just shows how snobbish British actors were in there day. Marilyn was in a class of her own and the English establishment just did not get it at all.- Was this review helpful to you?

Welcome to Saturday morning and this week's edition of Pitcher Appreciation Day. We're doing it today, because as we look through the top performers from Friday's games, you'll see that there were some phenomenal outings, some killer pitching lines and not a single high-ranking ace was among the names. It stands as further evidence that you can find plenty of quality starting pitching out there and a large investment in someone named Kershaw, Price, Hamels or Verlander isn't always a necessary thing. Now will all of these guys continue to perform at such an incredibly high level? Probably not, but they are all capable of posting strong numbers the rest of the way and collectively, could make up the bulk of an outstanding fantasy rotation.
