"U.S. bound. Dubai-Atlanta, 15 hour flight. 3 weeks of friends, family and @Redskins Training Camp!!!" Mike Justice posted on Twitter a few days ago, while at the airport in Dubai.
The Redskins soon wrote back, which eventually led to a private conversation. Justice told the team's social media handler that he would be in Richmond for the first two days of training camp; he was told in return to stop at the photo locker tent when he arrived at the team facility.
Then Justice and his brother were given VIP passes and ushered to an unoccupied tent between the media tents for ESPN 980 and Fox 5. "Their" tent is just a few feet from one of the team's practice fields, and from the walkway players use to get from the facility to the fields and back. If you're going to plan your trip from Dubai around the Redskins's training camp schedule, you might as well get a decent view.
Oh, plus free drinks — staffers soon wheeled a giant cooler and a box of snacks into Justice's tent, which he's sharing with his younger brother Tony.
"I mean, millions of fans, 300,000 followers on Twitter, and they picked me out and really gave me the hook-up for a couple days," Justice told me between practice sessions. "Very cool. I was coming to camp anyway; I expected to be out there [with the masses], and I was okay with that. For them to do this, it's very fan-friendly and interactive, that's for sure."
Next you're probably wondering why Justice flew from Dubai to the United States for Redskins training camp. Fair question. The 40-year-old Virginia Beach native works for a German telecommunications company; he actually made it back to the States for last September's opener against the Eagles. (Before that, it had been nearly four years between visits.) He wanted to arrange another Redskins-related trip this season, but his work schedule wouldn't cooperate.
So he was coming to America to see family and friends over the summer, and he realized that by focusing on the end of July, he could satisfy his football urges.
"If I'm passing through, I want there to be something for me to do team-wise: A game, a preseason game, training camp," he said. "I always want some connection once a year when I come."
But why? Same thing you hear from so many others: It came from his dad, from family events that revolved around the football team, from moving to Louisiana for a few years as a kid but still not caring about the Saints, from years of waking up in the middle of the night to watch games overseas — " at whatever dark:30 in the morning," he said. Both brothers recalled with a laugh how angry — or "passionate," maybe — their father would get during Redskins games when they were kids.
"We just got that fire, that burgundy and gold blood in us," Mike Justice said.
"Since we can remember, that's all it is to us," Tony Justice, 33, agreed. "That's our team. We'll never change, never jump on a bandwagon. And I don't want to see the name changed. A losing season? Just to see this uniform run out onto the field, it doesn't matter if it's a losing season. Of course I get upset about it, but that's how much the team means to me, just seeing them out there playing."
So Mike Justice came to Redskins camp and did multiple media interviews. The brothers are staying in the team hotel; they've exchanged greetings with Jay Gruden, watched the players departing for work. He took a photo of LaVar Arrington's reserved parking spot at Arby's, Griffined inside the facility, bought a football for autographs, and reaffirmed that he won't stop rooting for this team, even while living half a world away.
"Oh no, never. Never never never. Never give it up," he said. "I mean, this is your job. You see these guys interact all the time, you're close to them. I watch them from eight time zones away. And then to be a stone's throw when they're walking out?…Just to be in that zone, that atmosphere, it's cool. If I can do something like this once a year, I'm happy."

"Watchers 8" explores how today's UFO phenomena and if there a connection between our ancient past and what is happening today.
Something is happening. More and more people around the globe are realizing that UFO sightings are real and not going away
An unprecedented look into an ancient race that may have been part of the Nephilim, "Watchers 6" is the most ambitious Watchers film yet.
"If you look to your left, you'll see a UFO!" What happened soon thereafter is fresh in Stearman's mind, even 30+ years later.
L.A. Marzulli hosts the third installment of "The Watchers" series. All over the world mysterious and unexplained events continue with little or no explanation from our governments or media.
All over the world mysterious and unexplained events continue with little or no explanation from our governments or media. People are seeing multiple suns or hearing strange, anomalous sounds.
Why are the nations of the world in turmoil? What is happening with the sun and the moon? Why is it that birds are dropping out of the air dead, and why have fish numbering into the millions suddenly died without explanation? Why are there sinkholes of gigantic proportions appearing all over the earth, and what is happening with volcanic eruptions in Japan, Italy and Iceland? And what about the UFO seen over the Temple Mount?
Marzulli looks at the current manifestations of UFO activity worldwide and relates these experiences to what ancient texts say about them, as well as current understanding
Includes all 8 DVDs of the popular series. Not for the faint of heart, the Watchers collections gets to the bottom of the truth.

is a brisk, refreshing facial tonic, and a fresh, masculine cologne.
This mattifying gel works better than any others I have tried, and a little goes a long way so the tube will last awhile. I use either my fingers or a blender sponge after mineral sunscreen but before I put my foundation on, and it's amazing how shine-free my face still is at the end of the day. Never had a problem with irritation or breakouts.
Use all over face except eye area. Use once or twice daily (morning/evening). Isn't over drying and leaves a clean fresh feeling on the skin. Minimizes oil and cleans well.

Visual Studio Quick Hits: Editor Enhancements + Git
Visual Studio 2012 gains Git 1.0
A couple of notable releases arrived for users of VS2012 and VS2013. First, for VS2012 the official 1.0 release of Visual Studio Tools for Git has been released. This release focuses on bug fixes and establishing parity with the current level of Git support shipping with VS2013. As of this release, both the VS2012 and VS2013 vesions of Git tools have matching features, however going forward only the VS2013 version will receive new features according to Microsoft's Brian Harry.
Microsoft's Matthew Mitrik commented that this version does not yet support SSH on the client side, but that it is being worked on. It is unclear if this feature will make it to the VS2012 edition. Harry also reiterated that Microsoft remains focused on delivering a Git-based tool, and that they have no plans to add support for Mercurial or similar Git-alternatives at this time.
VS2013 RTM Improves Editing
The RTM release of VS2013 brings some additional refinements to IDE features previously introduced in VS2013 Preview. Peek Definition provides a way to look definitions inline in your current editor window. As originally introduced, this feature was able to navigate to files but was read-only. With VS2013 RTM, it now has the ability to allow editing of files. While your original document maintains focus as the primary tab, the peeked file also gains a separate tab.
Separately, the NavigateTo feature has been changed so that its result's window is resizable vertically and horizontally subject to your preference. Using it's option drop-down, NavigateTo can also be configured to shore more details via the "Show Details" option which aids in resolving different items with similar names.

text: I rescued two kittens, a brother and sister, this past year. That's when i found out how riddled my apartment complex was with fleas. They were about 8 months old when this happened. I bathed both of them, then applied Sergent's Green. I didn't use a whole tube of it either i just split one between the two of them. I immediately swore to never use it again, as the smell was strong enough to choke the cats up and make them foam up at the mouth so my room mate corralled Dexter and washed the medication off of him while i took Sookie and did the same. Dexter seemed to be ok, if just a little unsteady. It was Sookie that worried me. she kept shaking as if she couldn't get warm so i curled her up in a blanket and held her trying to calm her down some. after about ten minutes she was still shaking and her pupils had dilated, so we rushed them to the emergency vet. By this time Dexter had started to shake too. I was told they were exhibiting the symptoms of pyrethrin poisoning. They were given something to help flush their systems, and IV's, in addition to another round of baths. I was so scared i was going to lose them, I mean i must have been a sight, a 260 lb army vet crying in the vets waiting area. I stayed up with them all night and called in sick the next day to work. We kept all of the lights off in the apartment for the next three days while their eyes returned to normal to limit any damage to their sight. I am happy to say that they made a full recovery, but Sookie still holds a grudge over it, she will only curl up with my room mate now and only comes to me when she wants food. The vets were wonderful and only charged us for one of the kittens despite treating them both. The people over at Sergents however haven't been near as cooperative. All i did was ask that they paid the vet bills, they requested i send the product back to them for testing as according to them there is no way it could contain pyrethrin or any other substances toxic to cats. I filled out all of the forms they sent me for re-imbursement and i sent all but one tube back to them as I wanted my own evidence should this escalate. Well Sergent's has drug their feet on the issue refusing to pay the bills until i send them the final tube. As of now we are at a standstill. We did manage to get the product pulled from the shelves of the area Krogers and other stores though, so that is something.

Hey guys!
I've recently been thinking a lot about memory techniques and ways to remember words and phrases more easily during the process of foreign language acquisition, and I was wondering what you guys did in order to memorize new words and phrases. Obviously learning new words represents a huge part of the process of learning a new language, and I find it amazing that so few people actually spend the time necessary to learn memory techniques in order to facilitate that process.
Well, in any case, I came up with 12 memory techniques, of which I made a blog post for each on my website. I was wondering, though, if you knew any other ways to help make remembering more easy and effortless. What's your trick? Do you simply learn by rote, or do you have a specific routine/technique that makes it easier? And finally, approximately how many new words a day/week/month do you try to learn?
Here are the 12 ways I have found that work very well to improve one's memory. I'd love to hear your own tips and tricks.
1. Put in Your Emotions
2. Pay Attention, Focus
3. Use Mnemonics
4. Learn From Context
5. Use Visualization Techniques
6. Repeat, Repeat, and Review
7. Deal with Material That You Can Understand For The Most Part
8. Make Associations and Analogies; Connect Newly Acquired Information With Stuff You Already Know
9. Get the Language On Your Tongue; Read Loudly, Repeat The Sounds
10. Eat Healthily and Exercise To Keep Your Mind Sharp
11. Learn Through Music
12. Divide Your Time In Short Bursts Of Study
Let's get the ball rolling!

I always make up sentences to fit the word in and I keep reading and analysing them, no matter how big or apparently complicated the word is, it'll be eventually memorised. For example, the Esperanto word "amiko":
Mi estas kun mia bona amiko
And, if the language has something like not presumable gender or odd declension/plural patterns, I make up lot of sentences. For example, the German word Mann, masculine and with the plural form Männer:
Der Mann ist mein Freund
Wo sind die Männer?
This way, we can see the word in it's different forms. In this example, the presence of der in the first sentence means the word is masculine, and the second sentence shows the plural form.

Hey Kevinpost, yeah I've heard about learning kinesthetically, it's a method called "Total Physical Response (TPR)". Personally, I've never tried it (it doesn't seem that practical to me, especially when you need to memorize words that do not involve any physical action). Have you ever tried it? I'm sure it might work well for teaching/learning really basic stuff, like "I'm holding the pencil in my hand", or "I'm opening the door" or something like that. I guess if you go to a foreign country and somebody who doesn't speak your language is trying to teach you their native language, it would be a good way to go. Otherwise, not too sure.
Raphacam, your method reminds me of Tim Ferriss' "Deconstruction" method. He gives an example, in his book "The 4-hour Chef", of how he learns languages. He says he focuses, at first, on a bunch of simple sentences where you can see how nouns, verbs, and pronouns are used differently. Here's an example taken from his book:
Here are the 12 sentences, the "Deconstruction Dozen":
The apple is red.
It is John's apple.
I give John the apple.
We give him the apple.
He gives it to John.
She gives it to him.
Is the apple red?
The apples are red.
I must give it to him.
I want to give it to her.
I'm going to know tomorrow.
(I have eaten the apple.)
I can't eat the apple.
"The benefits of these few lines can be astonishing", he says.
Seems like a decent technique to me, and it gives the learner a powerful overview of the grammatical structure of the language and of how basic sentences are constructed. Seeing the word in its different forms is definitely something that can help memorization. Although that wouldn't work for languages such as Chinese, since words only have a single form.
Anyhow, keep the ideas coming! Anybody else has their own technique for memorizing words? Once again, I'm surprised this topic hasn't surfaced more before, since it's such a huge part of language learning.

When I learn words... I visualize how I saw them. If someone spoke them to me, I remember the person saying the word for the first time. If I saw the word on a flashcard, I see the flashcard. Being that I am very visual, I just see the words scrolling in front of me while speaking.

Actually, I don't know any effective way to memorise words. I tried the most of the ones you mentioned, they didn't work, so I stopped to learn words in any forceful way. For when it comes to the recall, it is your unconscious mind who picks up the proper word from your memory and it acts at random. One day I remembered a word, the next I didn't so why to bother? Now I just let it do itself.
Anyway, I like to create sentences which say something personal to me.

I suspect you didn't try the method I outlined above hard enough. Most of these are tried and tested memory techniques that have worked for people across time and ages. I think the most powerful techniques are mnemonics and the method of loci (Memory Palace). Learning words is not about learning "forcefully". It's simply about aiding your brain to remember what you're learning. Without any technique, it's highly inefficient to simply learn by rote.
I highly recommend you to try some of the techniques I mentioned more in detail. Check out my blog if you're interested in learning more. Dominic O'Brien, eight-time memory world champion, managed to learn and actually remember 320 new German words in an hour (after one sighting of each word), his personal best. Not bad for a dyslexic slow learner who barely managed to scrape through with passes in French and Spanish in high school. Believe me, memory techniques can work.

Memory Palace and mnemonics means that you must memorise them first. And this is an additional effort because to do that you have to use some other memorisation props. Instead of remembering a word you must keep in mind some more complex structure, a poem or else. For example the way Benny had written about (the image association) entails not only remembering the images but also the code or how the image is associated with the word. When you need the word you must spend much more time and effort to recall all this complex "aid".
If you suspect that I didn't try hard enough you mean that learning must be something hard and arduous. I disagree because an effort leads to resistance and ultimately gives no prize.
Memory-champions who are good in learning lists of words or phone numbers or other stuff like that are the memory-champions so they could do it with or without any techniques.

I'm sorry my friend but I must say you couldn't be farther from the truth. Memory champions are normal people who have studied memory techniques and perfected those techniques. If you're interested in reading more about such champions and how they got to be where they are, check out books by Dominic O'Brien, or "Moonwalking with Einstein" by Joshua Foer.
Memory techniques have to be learned, yes. That's an investment you have to make in order to make remembering in the future much easier. Check out my guest post on The Polyglot Dream website if you're interested, it's entitled "The Laziness Paradox" and it's very relevant to this discussion.

Well, it was an opinion. I should have added "I think".
Stories are stories. One may invent anyone to corroborate his thesis. Also the cases of gifted (or hard-working) individuals don't take me.
Of course it doesn't mean that any of these techniques are bad but just what I have written - they simply didn't work for me. My personal experience shouldn't have any influence, because it is only personal. So the fact that I didn't succeed with ANKI doesn't mean that it is not useful for thousands of other people.
Apart from ANKI I tried the mnemonics, loci, visual association and analogies and I found it very hard and complex to remember not only a word but also the thing which should lead to its remembering like something I know or a verse or how looks the room. It is not like using a bus to get somewhere faster but like carrying the bus along.
Emotions and focus are something you do unconsciously so I can't see how to apply it in learning.
Learning from context is very good when you know language to good degree.
Using music is nice but I think that it should be applied on the higher level when one can pronounce the sounds properly otherwise it fixes bad pronunciation.
The Pomodoro technique is great however it breaks the flow of learning and it is hard to get back to it.
(I have just read your articles on the blog and left some comments.)

You can never get tired of the stories behind connecting an owner with a car. Though there may be similiarities, there is often a twist or turn along the way that makes each story that much more unique.
If you've been through it, you can often relate and make that connection. If you haven't, you marvel at the effort and secretly begin to question whether you have that type of commitment.
Nick Petruzzulli is a committed Corvette guy. His story doesn't center on finding his first, but finding the one that would be a suitable companion to the '66 big block that he already owned. The Hoboken, New Jersey, resident thought a '69 big block convertible would be the perfect complement and that became the objective.
"Some things are just meant to be," he said. "Corvettes have been my passion since childhood. I went to the Bloomington Gold weekend in St. Charles, Illinois, to start my search. Early Friday morning, as I hit the field, I came to the dealer lots. There in front of a tent is this beautiful Rally Red 427, 390 horsepower convertible. It was stunning and looked gorgeous from all angles. It was totally restored, frame off. It was all there – body fit, paint, undercarriage, engine, interior.
"The price was $44,000, which I thought wasn't bad. Could this be that quick and easy? Here I thought it would take the whole weekend to find the right car. I decided to take a walk around and see what else I would come across. After looking through the car corral and the auction tents, nothing struck me quite like that first car, so I decided that I wanted that car."
Nick knows enough to understand that a dealer's price is a number that isn't always set in stone. "I went back and we started negotiating. After going back and forth, we were $2,000 apart. I'm at 40, they're at 42. I leave my offer on the table feeling pretty confident they will meet it and told him to call me when they wanted to make a deal. That night, I became even more confident when I found out the dealer had purchased the car that morning in the car corral and paid $35,000. I thought a $5,000 profit isn't bad for 24 hours.
"Next day, the salesman calls and says, 'Nick, if you still want the car, it's yours for $40,000.' Bingo! I told him I'd be there in 20 minutes or so."
Here's one of those twists that can wear out the less committed. "When I got to the lot, check in hand, the salesman approaches me with a grim look on his face and says, 'Sorry, Nick. The car just sold.' I couldn't believe it. I asked him what he meant by sold when he called me 15 minutes ago and said we had a deal. Turns out another salesman sold the car to a collector who would pay $42,000. I couldn't believe it, but in hindsight, I guess I should have met the dealer's price the day before."
The rest of the weekend went by and Nick was set to return home to New Jersey no closer to his goal than when he left. "I spent the next few months regretting my mistake every time I told someone the story. Every '69 I looked at as a potential purchase didn't even come close to that car at Bloomington Gold."
A year passed and the process started again. Nick found himself at Bloomington Gold, but things had changed. "To my disappointment, I found that prices had gone up. Worse, there wasn't a car that could come close to my lost '69. On the last day of the show, Sunday, before leaving that afternoon, I took a walk through the field of cars getting judged for Bloomington Gold certifications. It's something every Corvette enthusiast should do at least once. You see the most beautiful and extraordinary displays of Corvettes in the world."
Nick wanted to be one of those with a car being certified, but that wasn't this day. He was on the verge of a second trip home without a car, but the twists in the quest aren't always cruel.
"As I approached the group of 1969 cars, my eyes see this gorgeous Rally Red 427 convertible. It was beautiful. Lightning had struck twice in the same place. I felt the tingle in my stomach. I thought, 'Maybe if I get lucky, the owner might be interested in selling.' I patiently waited for the judges to finish up the car and I approached the owner.
"He said he might consider the selling the car. His name was Keith Busse and he was a collector from the Kansas City area who owned a Corvette museum. All of his cars are Bloomington Gold and NCRS Top Flights. Since the '69 only came up with a silver, he would have to do some work and try for the gold next year."
In conversation about the car and its history, Nick got jolted by more. It seems Busse had bought the car at the show … last year at the dealer's lot. "It was the exact same car, my car," Nick said, "except he removed the rally wheels and Goodyear tires and replaced them with authentic Firestone redlines and original finned hubcaps that were optional that year. After telling Keith my story, he almost felt obligated to sell me the car. He said for $44,000, less the Firestones and wheel covers, the car was mine. I felt like I had just made the deal of a lifetime."
Since having the car in his possession, Nick has placed his own Firestones on the car. A good friend, Paul Tsacos, had a set of the original finned wheel covers for sale to complete the package.
"I have enjoyed driving and showing my car since I owned it," Nick said. "It's a special feeling. There are many red '69 convertibles that are just as sweet or even sweeter than mine, but to me, mine is the sweetest of them all.
"Some things are just meant to be."

Team Ondo are claiming their losses in the men and women's volleyball matches against Plateau and Benue respectively on Wednesday were influenced by the politics of the game.
Chairman of Team Ondo, Bamido Omogbehin, said his wards started well in their games and should have won the matches but were robbed of victories through poor officiating.
"We initially planned to protest but later shelved the idea and accepted the results. What we now do is to mobilise our fans to the venues and cheer them to victory. We did that on Thursday and we defeated Team Rivers 3-0 in volleyball," Omogbehin said.
The Ondo State official added that the hosts have improved on the feeding arrangement of the athletes following their complaints.
A meal costs N1,500 per athlete but the shoddy arrangement since the games started meant some of the athletes had to seek alternatives in getting decent meals.
Omogbehin said, "Everything has now improved but initially, they were nothing to write home about."
The transport arrangement for the games has also been criticised after athletes were left stranded at their camps in UNILAG and YABATECH.
During the opening ceremony of the games, some athletes were left stranded at their hostels when there was no vehicle to convey them to the Teslim Balogun Stadium.
Meanwhile, Team Ogun, which had five of their basketball players disqualified from the games, they had accepted the decision.
Chairman of Technical Sub-Committee of Team Ogun, Tunji Onatolu, said the wrong information given by the players led the team to fall foul of the rules.
Onatolu said, "At this kind of event, our opponents are vigilant in identifying our errors. It was at the registration point we learnt that the affected players are domicile in Lagos and have played for clubs based in Lagos which is against the rules of the competition.
"We didn't know about the residences of the athletes when we started camping. They made us believe they live in Ogun State."

Jeff's artfully muddied Mud Pig by Moots, fork by IF. This was our introduction to working with IF, the rest is history.
One thought on "Some bikes…"
As the proud new owner of the Moots-built Strada Bianca I'd like to say that it's the sweetest bike I've ever owned in over 50 years of cycling. I honestly don't feel like riding any other when going for a decent ride (yes, I admit my carbon Colnago is faster over a shorter distance or up hills, but the SB is so comfortable and eats up the miles).
Thanks very much to Steve for all his time and attention getting it just right!

SEO Fact, SEO Fiction
Given the negative responses across the blogosphere to David Pasternack's piece in the DM News one is reminded of the Ben Franklin quote: "The sting of a reproach is in the truth of it."
Indeed if there were not more than a kernel of truth in what Pasternack says, SEO mavens would not have reacted so violently.
The crux of the debate is not whether designing sites to be search spider friendly is worthwhile, rather the question Pasternack raises relates to the value of ongoing SEO maintenance work. He argues that SEO projects can be valuable, but ongoing maintenance isn't worth the cost.
His critics point out that:
- The white-hat SEO firms really are doing work on behalf of their clients; they're not simply "setting and forgetting". Creating ethical viral link networks takes time and helps rankings; and
- The SEO landscape changes all the time as algorithms advance; a neglected program will see listings drop in the rankings.
Both true, but also not quite on point. The cost benefit analysis helpful to retailers isn't costs versus rankings, it's costs versus sales, and SEO firms spend precious little time talking about incremental sales generated by these efforts.
Herein lies the rub: there is undeniably huge value in getting ranked on page 1 of the SERPs for competitive search phrases; however, in competitive retail categories there are also no SEO firms that can put a retailer in those spots and keep them there for the long haul. Indeed, none of the top-notch firms will make promises about positions for specific terms because they know that the competition is too intense from too many different players on a landscape that shifts constantly. Instead they talk about overall "visibility" and other aggregate "rank indexes".
However, retailers need to "do some figurin'" as we say in Virginia, as to whether moving from page 400 to page 3 on an important search phrase has any impact at all on their sales. Based on what we've seen on the paid links, there's not much traffic to be had beyond page 1, and while such a move may do great things for your "visibility index," it's not clear that it does much for your top line.
David set off a storm of righteous indignation from those who work hard in the SEO space, but part of the reason for his rant and mine is the great preponderance of hokum out there that has been spewed by the not so hard-working, not-so ethical members of the SEO community.
For almost any retailer, the lion's share of sales attributable to natural search comes from people searching for them by name. A good PPC program will drive twice the incremental search sales as almost any firm's natural search results, and while fixing specific organic search problems can materially lift the bar on organic results, ongoing link gathering, and directory insertion activities generally don't move the bar in a manner that your accounting department will notice.
I'm not saying it can't happen, just that it often doesn't. Retailers should watch the sales attributable to the costs of ongoing SEO maintenance and judge for themselves.
– George

Andrea M.United StatesHairBlondeFine or Thin HairGreat For Fine, Lifeless Hair!I just purchased this product and used for the first time this morning. I am really impressed. It does feel seemingly thicker and I have a lot more volume. It doesn't smell as good as most hair products, but it's not terrible. My only complaint is that it is a PAIN to use a round brush. Super sticky! It did it's job. I use it in conjunction with Aquage uplifting foam and it pairs nicely.

The town will rely more on contractors for such tasks, with less involvement by Highway Department crews. This will allow department employees to do more routine road maintenance, such as clearing brush from roadsides and vacuuming sand from drainage pipes.

How do I remove ball point ink from paper?
By Lonnie from SC
By Barbara Pope [12] 03/23/2011
I work as a professional librarian and do book repair and cleaning on a regular basis. I recommend using a Magic Rub eraser which can be purchased at art supply stores, Office Depot, and Office Max. Office Depot.com has them priced at 89 cents. Don't use the pink pearl erasers, as they will only cause it to smear.
By Betty T. 05/16/2013
I am aware that Rain-x is suppose to work on removing ink from paper but will it remove the color of the paper also? My paper is a bluish thick paper,very old also.
By Mercedes W. 09/11/2013
I have a magic rub eraser and it is not removing the ink from the book I have. Any other options?
Here are questions related to Removing Ball Point Pen From Paper.
What do I use to remove ballpoint writing without damaging the paper?
By Saad
I have seen already a lot of great ideas on how to remove ink. My question is more to do with the colour of the paper? I have a very valuable book, but when bought 18 years ago, my then boyfriend had his name written on it. Before I sell it I would rather remove his name.
On another forum I saw results of using bleach on white paper it was fantastic. But I don't want to leave any discolouration to a deep red paper.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Thank you.

Thrifty Fun has been around so long that many of our pages have been reset several times. Archives are older versions of the page and the feedback that was provided then.

I have a piece of a old paper that was written on 3 years ago with blue ballpoint pen. How can I remove this ink from the paper without removing the original quality of paper?
By Sanjay
Removing ink from a printed document is very easy using Rain-X windshield protector. Just put a little of Rain-X on a Q-tip, dab on your document, and watch the ink vanish before your eyes. Have a paper underneath for over wetness and just let air dry.

Martin County's unemployment rate fell slightly in August
Martin County's unemployment rate fell slightly in August to 9.7 percent, data released Friday by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity show.
Though the rate dropped only one-tenth of a percentage point, it was the first time since 2005 that the county's jobless rate has dropped from July to August.
Although the unemployment rate fell in August in all three Treasure Coast counties, the declines in St. Lucie and Martin counties were caused almost entirely by people leaving the workforce, not more people having jobs.
Based on results of the monthly telephone survey conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, an estimated 6,056 Martin County residents were without a job in August and actively seeking work.
While that is 1,231 fewer unemployed than a year ago, the number of people who were employed actually went down by 319. That means 1,550 people left the county's workforce, either by moving away, returning to school or giving up their search for a job.
In the Port St. Lucie MSA, which encompasses St. Lucie and Martin counties, the number of residents without jobs who were actively seeking work fell by 4,774 from a year ago. Four out of every five of those left the workforce, if not their home county, for a variety of reasons including school or simply giving up looking for work.
Whether a person is eligible for or receiving unemployment compensation or other benefits is not a factor in whether that person is counted among the unemployed.
The Department of Economic Opportunity's report said the Port St. Lucie MSA has lost 2,300 jobs over the past year, while Indian River County has added 1,000.
"A lot of new retail, including restaurants, have opened in the last few months, and they're hiring locally," said Helene Caseltine, director of Economic Development for the Indian River County Chamber of Commerce.
Caseltine said she also expects the manufacturing sector to add jobs over the next few months.
Job growth in Indian River County is mostly in small businesses in several sectors, led by retail trade, leisure and hospitality and education and health services.
In contrast, those are the same industry sectors, along with construction, that have shed the most jobs in the Port St. Lucie MSA in the past year.
St. Lucie County's jobless rate has dropped by four-tenths of a percentage point in each of the past two Septembers. However, that's unlikely to be repeated this year because of the layoffs earlier this month of 346 employees of Digital Domain Studios and another 100 from Liberty Medical. In St. Lucie County's workforce, four-tenths of a percentage points represents almost 500 people.
The shrinking workforce is a statewide trend, however, not just in St. Lucie and Martin counties.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data show there are 43,000 fewer unemployed Floridians than a year ago, but the state's workforce shrunk by 47,000.
The Department of Economic Opportunity said in a news release that more than 28,000 private sector jobs were created in August, the highest month-to-month increase since April 2011 and that Florida has gained 153,000 private sector jobs since December 2010.
"Employers are aware of the talented and skilled workforce we have here, and the August numbers prove that the economic climate in Florida is one that encourages job creation and economic development," Gov. Rick Scott in the release. "Collectively, we're creating an environment that fosters job creation, increased economic development and a positive business climate overall."
Kevin Gillen, Florida regional president with TD Bank, said consumer confidence is up in Florida along with other factors that can stimulate job growth.
Gillen said TD Bank expects to close within the next 90 days on a total of more than $10 million in Small Business Administration loans to more than a dozen Treasure Coast businesses for expansions or other projects that often result in more jobs.

KINGDOM - Anti-fur campaigners in Britain are building up to what is hoped to
be the beginning of the end for fur farming in England. The Government Bill to
ban the trade is now in its final stages in the House of Lords where it has to
clear two more stages before Parliament breaks up in November. The situation is
currently looking quite hopeful but with a phase out period for farms to close
the pressure needs maintaining to ensure that as many farms close this winter
as possible.
CAFT-UK is again organizing a National Anti-Fur Week (11-19
November), the fourth such campaign so far. Protests are being planned at fur
farms and fur shops across England and Scotland. The Week of Action takes place
at a time when killing of mink is underway. It's a time that the fur trade would
rather people notice the use of fur in 'fashion' instead of the scenes of mink
being gassed in wooden boxes and having the skins ripped from their backs.
have been continuing throughout the year at various fur farms, and new campaigns
have been launched. Earlier this year 4 campaigners were arrested for 'aggravated
trespass' (normally used against hunt sabs) while trying to gather evidence of
breaches of welfare laws at a Yorkshire fur farm. While in custody their car was
set on fire and completely wrecked. The campaigners haven't been deterred however
and having to travel to the area for court appearances means they are able to
hold even more demos at the farm!
Meanwhile, London Animal Action has had
a great year after closing two fur shops in the city. Zwirn's fur shop became
so desperate to prevent demos that they took out an injunction under anti-harassment
law. This resulted in more demos, more press coverage and a legal bill of around
30,000 pounds for Barry Zwirn. A couple of activists were remanded to prison for
between 3-7 days for breaching the injunction but the two cases that came to court
were a sensational flop with the prosecution making a laughing stock of themselves.
The loss of trade and rising legal costs must have been too much as Zwirn was
forced to close down.
Campaigners then moved on to royal furriers Calman
Links. ALF activists had repeatedly smashed the store windows and the shop eventually
decided to replace the glass with a big wooden board - hardly fitting in with
the exclusive shopping area. After a brief campaign of pickets and home demos
the shop finally closed.
If this carries on the fur trade in London will
be finished off in no time at all.

kanban is a system originally developed by Toyota to reduce waste.
|Single phase
(just a list of checkboxes)
|Multiple phases
(Backlog, To-do, In-progress, Done)
|Does not prevent working on all tasks at the same time
|Work In Progress (WIP) limits
bring focus, reduce cycle times
|No way to reliably track time spent on each task
|Time spent on each task in each phase is tracked
|Estimates are manual and error-prone
|Current cycle time is a reliable indicator of future performance
|Multiple phases
|Multiple phases
|Requires timeboxes (sprints) usually
2 to 4 weeks long
|Continuous flow
|Does not prevent working on all tasks at the same time
|Work In Progress (WIP) limits
bring focus, reduce cycle times
|Does not allow changes when a sprint is in progress
|Changes can be made any time
|Requires manual estimates for
each task
|Current cycle time is a reliable indicator of future performance
A to-do list is a simple way to manage a project. On a to-do list, a task is either done or not. In reality, things are rarely that simple. What happens in between is completely missing from the picture.
To-do lists do not have kanban's Work In Progress (WIP) limits. When there is no limit on the number of tasks that can be worked on simultaneously, your team loses focus, and everything gets longer to complete. WIP limits allow you to discover the optimal throughput for your team. With the right WIP limits, you can avoid tasks piling up, and balance demand against your team's capacity.
There is no reliable way to measure the time spent on each task in the absence of kanban's multiple phases and WIP limits. Due-date estimates are also problematic because of the tendency to add "safety buffers". Eventually these buffers add up, and everything gets longer and longer to complete.
Scrum addresses some of the shortcomings of to-do lists. It supports multiple phases, and instills a sense of urgency with its sprint concept, but it falls short in a number of areas.
In Scrum, a number of tasks are chosen for each sprint, and the team makes estimates for each task beforehand. Once a sprint is in progress, no changes are allowed. In reality, that does not work quite well. Since estimates are after all just educated guesses, you have to work extra when you are behind, and you waste time when you are ahead.
There are no WIP limits in Scrum. There is nothing to prevent a team to work on everything simultaneously, leading to many tasks in different states of completion.
kanban solves the problems inherent in to-do lists and Scrum by introducing WIP limits, and eliminating estimates and rigid timeboxes. The result is a smoothly flowing system that is both flexible and robust.

|First Appearance
(as Scott Lang) (as Ant-Man)
- ... Yeah, well I beat up Doctor Doom once!
- -- Ant-Man src
Early Life
Scott Lang was an electronics expert who could not support his family doing repair work, so he turned his talents to burglary. Apprehended, he served his prison sentence and was paroled for good behavior. During his time in prison, however, his wife divorced him. Lang had furthered his studies of electronics while in prison and was soon hired by Stark International to work in its design department.[3]
When his daughter Cassie was diagnosed as having a serious congenital heart condition, Lang sought the aid of surgeon Dr. Erica Sondheim. Desperate to help his daughter, Lang decided to return to thievery.[4]
Breaking into the New Jersey home of Dr. Henry Pym, Lang stole his Ant-Man Suit. Unknown to him, Pym observed the theft and in his guise as Yellowjacket, followed Lang, curious to see what use he would put the paraphernalia.[4]
Garbed as Ant-Man, Lang broke into Cross and discovered Dr. Sondheim was held prisoner by Darren Cross, president of CTE, who needed Sondheim to correct his own heart condition. Rescuing Sondheim and defeating Cross, Lang was relieved when Sondheim was able to save the life of his daughter. Lang intended to return the Ant-Man costume to its owner and turn himself in, but Henry Pym offered to let him keep them, provided Lang put them to lawful use. [5]
Stark Industries
Tony Stark recruited Scott to find out who Justin Hammer really is. [6][7] When Dr. Bruce Banner asked Iron Man to help him either be cured or killed. They design a nuclear-powered regulator that would allow him to control his heart beat preventing transformations into the Hulk. Scott Lang and Erica Sondheim successfully implant the device in Banner's chest. After exposing Banner to the emotional overlord inducement generator they are convinced that the regulator will keep the Hulk reigned in from now on.[8] However, this was not the case. Tony, Scott, and Sondheim restrained Banner's transformation, ending with Sondheim's use of sound waves to return Banner to normal. [9] Iron Man directs Sondheim to remove the regulator from the Hulk's chest before he wakes up. Unfortunately, Stark is dealing with his own health crisis, leading Scott to shrink into the Iron Man armor in order to save Tony's life.[10]
Scott also helped Yellowjacket rescue the Wasp who was captured by Dr. Pernell Solomon.[11] Alongside the Avengers, he first battled Taskmaster.[12][13]
He then fought Odd John 's mutated insects, and encountered Biotron of the Micronauts. [14][15]
Scott helped Tony battle various saboteurs at Stark Industries.[16]
He teamed up with Spider-Man, to fight again battled Taskmaster.[18]
Scott attempted to stop the Raiders at a Dallas electronics engineers convention.[19]
Scott attempted to stop the malfunctioning G.A.R.D. the computer defense program.[20]
Scott Lang was going through crates belonging to Cord Conglomerate, recently purchased by Stark, when he finds a suit of the Mauler Armor. Before he can notify Stark, Mauler knocked him out and takes the suit. [22]
Fantastic Four
He then met the Fantastic Four, and with them first journeyed to a "micro-world", and battled there alongside the Thing. [23]
The Grandmaster forced every known hero away from Earth and forced them to battle [24]
He encountered Rick Jones and Alpha Flight, and then fought Dire Wraiths alongside Rom and Brandy Clark.[25][26]
He helped the Avengers in infiltrating Taskmaster's henchmen-training facility, battling the Taskmaster alongside Hawkeye, and visited Henry Pym while he was in prison.[27]
... [28]
When the Masters of Evil took control of the Avengers Mansion and captured some of the current team; Lang was instrumental in helping the Wasp defeat the Absorbing Man and Titania, two villains much stronger and more powerful than them. The pair attacked a hospital in an attempt to kill a comatose Hercules [29][30][31]
... [32] ... [33] ... [34] ... [35]
Shrunken Spider-Man
At the Tomorrow Exposition, techno-thieves break in to steal the Quark machine. With the expo closed, Scott shrinks down as Ant-Man to take a private tour, but his gas apparently also works on Spidey who shrinks to insect size. As the thieves attack a guard, Spider-Man battles a spider. Ant-Man stops the thieves from stealing the Quark field generator's circuit board while Spidey destroys the attacking automatic insect eradicator. Ant-Man enlarges and escapes with the circuit board but is slowed by a magnesium flare. Spidey battles the robot guard dog while Ant-Man summons an army of ants to stop the thieves. Spidey stumbles across the fracas and helps, webbing the thieves up. As the police arrive, Ant-Man takes Spidey to a secluded spot to re-enlarge him, but fails. Spidey is stuck the way he is.[36] While still trapped in his shrunken size Spider-Man and Scott battled the Scarlet Beetle.[37]
He also battled Dragonfly.[38]
Stane International
When Stark International was bought out by Stane International, Lang resigned out of respect to Tony Stark, the company's former head (and secretly Iron Man.) Lang opened his own electronics business. Later, he temporarily gave up the business to be hired by the Fantastic Four when their scientist and leader Reed Richards was missing for an extended period. Lang and Cassie lived at the Four's headquarters during this time.[39]
Heroes for Hire
During a time when many of Earth's heroes were believed dead after battling the psychic entity, Onslaught, Lang agreed to join the newly-reformed superteam Heroes for Hire.[40][41][42] [43] [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53] Lang returned to his electronics business when Heroes for Hire disbanded soon after Earth's heroes returned. [53]
The Avengers
Lang continued to aid his superpowered colleagues as needed, such as joining other Avengers associates in infiltrating the base of the Avengers' enemies of the Triune Understanding, although this turned out to be a ruse by the Triunes to discredit the Avengers. He also helped the Avengers against the threat of the villain Kang the Conqueror, who nearly succeeded in conquering the world. After overthrowing Kang's would-be regime, the Avengers offered Lang a place on the roster, and he agreed.[54]
Jessica Jones
Scott dated Jessica Jones, the super-heroine named Jewel who left to become a private investigator.[55][56][57] He assisted her in a matter with Mattie Franklin, one of the many female heroes to take the Spider-Woman identity. Assisting the duo is S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Clay Quartermain. [58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67] Purple Man used his powers to make it seem as if Scott had been consumed by ants.[68]but the relationship ended when she revealed that she was pregnant with Luke Cage's baby. [69]
Jack of Hearts
Lang's place with the Avengers was not without its personal struggles. Scott was brought into court for a custody battle with his ex-wife over the safety of his daughter Cassie when she visited the Avengers Mansion headquarters of the team. Lang also struggled with his new teammate Jack of Hearts, as the two often clashed over trifling matters. However, when Lang's daughter was randomly kidnapped by a madman, Jack of Hearts rescued Cassie at the risk of his own powers consuming him, which ultimately killed him.[70]
Avengers: Disassembled
Lang felt guilty that he had only begun to reconcile with his new friend. Later, Jack of Hearts somehow returned to the Mansion with a message of warning for the team. When Lang reached out to his friend, Jack of Hearts detonated himself, taking half of the Avengers Mansion and seemingly Scott Lang with him. This attack was later discovered to be motivated by the Scarlet Witch, whose mind had become unhinged due to the magical powers she constantly felt forced to control. Whether this was truly the corpse of Jack of Hearts or just a magical construct of the Scarlet Witch remains unclear.[71][72]
Cassie subsequently becomes Stature as a member of the Young Avengers, having apparently taken enough Pym Particles over the years to enable her to automatically grow and shrink in size whenever she wants.[73]
Ant-Man's Helmet fell into Amadeus Cho's possession for a time. He wears it with Cassie's blessing, choosing to focus on the insect mind-controlling abilities.[74]
Children's Crusade
A few years later, the Young Avengers traveled back in time with an amnesiac Scarlet Witch to the moments before Avengers Mansion was destroyed and escaped along with Lang (leaving the Avengers of that time to believe he had perished).[75][76][77] This celebration was short lived however, after Lang witnessed the death of his daughter Stature in battle with Dr. Doom.[78][79] Lang had since sworn vengeance on Doom.[80]
Scott joined the Defenders team composed of Doctor Strange, Silver Surfer, Red She-Hulk, Black Cat and Iron Fist. Together they battled the Death Celestials.[81][82][83]
Future Foundation
The Future Foundation would soon be left in the hands of Scott after Reed discovered that the cosmic energy that gave him is powers was decaying forcing him and the rest of the Fantastic Four to go into a different universe to fix the problem. Scott was left with She-Hulk, Medusa and Johnny Storm's current girlfriend Darla Deering to be the replacement Fantastic Four for only originally four minutes unless something went wrong, which did happen.[84] When the Fantastic Four returned he left the team. [85]
Age of Ultron
Scott and his team are attacked by Ultron drones during the Age of Ultron event. Many Future Foundation members died but when Wolverine and the Invisible Woman returned to the past to kill Hank Pym (Earth-616) before the creation of the Ultron, Lang revealed to be still alive just like the third Ant-Man, Eric O'Grady (Earth-616). But in that earth, they're locked in an Ant Hill, and they're both a trophy of Kang the Conquerer [86]. That timeline has been destroyed when Wolverine and the Invisible Woman came back to the past to resolve everything. After that, Scott and his team returned back to normality [87].
Original Sin
Following the murder of Uatu the Watcher, Scott was chosen alongside Black Panther, Winter Soldier, Emma Frost, Gamora, the Punisher, and Doctor Strange as one of the potential candidates to replace the original Nick Fury in his role as the defender of Earth.[88][89][90] He and the others attempted to stop Fury after he was revealed to be the Watcher's true murderer.[91][92][93][94][95]
The now-heroic Doctor Doom used the Scarlet Witch's powers to resurrect Cassie, seeking to atone for at least one of his crimes; she turned out alive and well on Scott's doorstep.[96]
Ant-Man Security SolutionsWith Cassie returned, Scott tried to adjust his life, and got the job of Head of Security at Stark Industries. However, after Cassie moved with her mother Peggy to Miami, Scott ditched his new job in favor of spending more time with his daughter (against Peggy's will and without her knowledge).[97] As part of his new life, Scott opened a business called Ant-Man Security Solutions. Scott battled Grizzly who wanted revenge on Ant-Man due to his betrayal during the Siege of Asgard, unaware he was not Eric O'Grady. After the misunderstanding was cleared, Lang offered Grizzly a place at his new company.[98]
While installing a security system in a paper clip warehouse, Scott was ambushed and defeated by Taskmaster. Open defeating Scott, Taskmaster revealed he was merely meant to be a distraction, hired by Cross Technological Enterprises to give Crossfire time to capture Cassie for Augustine Cross.[99] When Scott realized that it would be impossible to infiltrate into Cross Technologies by himself, Grizzly suggested they consult his friend from Villains Anonymous, Machinesmith. Machinesmith said he would only help Scott and Grizzly infiltrate Cross Technologies if he got a permanent job at Ant-Man Security Solutions. With Machinesmith disabling all the security Scott was able to get into Cross Technologies and fight his way to Darren Cross, whom Dr. Sondheim was blackmailed into reviving using Cassie's heart.[100] Darren engaged in combat against Ant-Man while the hero tried to buy time for Sondheim to transplant another heart into Cassie.
After Cross was forced to flee when the Pym Particles now in his body caused him to shrink down, Scott shrunk down to microscopic size, and was guided by Sondheim to attack Cassie's white cells and allow her body to accept the new heart's tissue. Even though the procedure was difficult, Scott was finally able to help Cassie survive the experience. When Peggy and Blake arrived, Sondheim told her that Cassie suffered an infraction and Scott take Cassie to her, which they believed. Although he saved his daughter, Scott decided to distance himself from her so that she could have a normal life.[101]
Powers and Abilities
|Power Grid [102]
|Energy Projection
|Fighting Skills
- Pym Particles Ant-Man is able to reduce himself to the size of an ant, approximately one-half inch in height, by means of a rare group of sub-atomic particles, the source of which is as yet unknown, which he is able to contain in magnetic-field "canisters" (the shape of the magnetic lines of force were made visible by the confined particles, whose concentration caused them to behave like a gas).[103][104] [105][106][107][108][109]
- These particles, whose wavelength is in the mental range when released, allow Ant-Man to will himself and other objects to reduce in size or enlarge. The mechanics involved having most of the mass of the nucleus of each affected atom convert into energetic particles which take up orbit around the nucleus - thus, although gravitons do not affect these particles, the mass of the original volume remains intact.[103][104] [105][106][107][108][109]
- This means a punch delivered by the half-inch high Ant-Man would feel like the blow of a normal-sized man. Ant-Man's reducing particle has no time limit to its potency.[103][104] [105][106][107][108][109]
- Lang has demonstrated the ability to change sizes without application of Pym particle gas. [103][104] [105][106][107][108][109]
Strength level
Ant-Man possessed the normal human strength of a man of his age, height, and build who engaged in moderate regular exercise. At small size, his strength is equal to an ant's.[103][104] [105][106][107][108][109]
- Ant-Man's Suit: [103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110]
- Ant-Man's Helmet: Ant-Man also wore a cybernetic helmet designed by Henry Pym permitting him rudimentary communication and control of insects. He could broadcast to a range of about one mile (1.6 km), depending on the materials surrounding him. His helmet also contained sound amplification equipment which also shifted the frequency of his voice so that he could be heard by normal-sized humans despite his diminutive size, as well as providing its own oxygen supply.[103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110]
- When exposed to the "Horton Cells" while travelling Android Human Torch's body developed pyrokinetic powers. However the exposure was temporary. [111]
- Ant-Man's Ants: Ant-Man customarily rode flying ants for transportation. [103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110]
- Avengers Quinjet: During his time with the Avengers, he also travelled by Quinjet.[103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110]
- Fantasti-Car: During his time with the Fantastic Four, he also travelled by Fantasti-Car.[103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110]
- Ant-Man's Wrist Gauntlets Ant-Man's wrist gauntlets enabled him to fire bio-electric blasts of adjustable force. His original helmet was able to fire 'disruptor' blasts of concussive force that Lang said were less powerful than the stings of The Wasp.[103][104] [105][106][107][108][109]
- Wanting to devote more time to his daughter, Ant-Man turned down membership offers from both the Avengers and Fantastic Four, though he eventually accepted Avengers membership.
- Ant-Man's costume for Ant-Man was designed by Chris Samnee.[112]
- Scott's early appearances are reprinted in various comics.[113]

HARRISON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - There was never any question about re-opening the Untied Parish Church in Harrison, But it was going to take some work.
Early in the morning on September 1st Pat Marceau and his wife Krista arrived to volunteer for the Church Breakfast. Others arrived to find a wet, smokey mess.
When the smoke cleared it didn't look good for a church building that has been around since shortly after the civil war ended. But church members were determined to hold services here again. So they rolled up their sleeves and went to work.
More than 6-months after first discovering the fire, they put the finishing touches on the new flooring and carpeting.
The church doors will re-open, just in time for Easter Sunday.
A church is more about the people who make it up than the building they gather in. Still for members of this United Parish Church it sure will be nice coming back in here for services.
The congregation has been gathering for weekly mass at the community room of the Harrison Fire Department. On Sunday at 10am they will gather for mass back at their church for the first time since the fire.
