After much waiting I am finally putting the Great Lakes Jersey thread up. It only took a little over a year to do it. Many thanks to iab for finalizing the artwork and professionalizing it.
What: Jerseys and bibs - from Champion.
The circle around the great lakes graphic is actually made of bike chain - along with the lines framing the lettering on the front of the jersey.
What you see above are the actual proofs received from Champion
Price: $58 for Jersey
$72 for Bibs
$65 for shorts
$6 total for shipping if you are not close enough to pick it up.
How: PM me to receive paypal address. Then Paypal your total amount (example: 1 jersey and 1 bib short + shipping = $58 + $72 + $6 = $136 Example:1 jersey + shipping = $58 + $6 = $64) PM me for payment details. Pretty much exclusively Paypal.
When: PROOFS ARE IN - See above. Will only accept orders until 5pm Central 11/8/2007
I know nothing about their sizing. Please check other threads on this forum for info about sizing. Simply tell me cut and size (Male or Female, - Race, or Club and S,M,L,XL, etc).
Was pointed to this on BikeForums...

Mending a Broken Heart
Researchers at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute have developed an artificial heart that can help those suffering from heart damage have a normal life.
HeartSaver is placed beside the human heart and powered by a transcutaneous energy transfer system, which transfers electrical power into the device from outside the body without skin perforations.
The system is monitored and controlled through the skin by a biotelemetry device, which also avoids the need for an invasive procedure.
Preclinical trials will begin this year at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute and other leading clinics in the United States and Europe.
WorldHeart began the production of HeartSaver in Ottawa in January 1998. First human use is expected in 1999.
For additional information, contact WorldHeart, 1 Laser St., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K2E 7VI. Call Sandy Armstrong at 613/226-4278.

Twelve of these cycles were also purchased by the Oregon State Police.

(Washington, D.C.) Women gained more than half of the 175,000 jobs in added in February, according to new analysis by the National Women's Law Center (NWLC) of data released this morning by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"Women's employment bounced back last month after January's job losses. Women gained more than half of 175,000 jobs added in February, and their unemployment rate held steady," said Joan Entmacher, Vice President for Family Economic Security. "But the long-term unemployment rate for women increased, and remains historically high for women and men. The refusal of some in Congress to extend emergency unemployment insurance benefits has left two million jobless workers and their families without this vital lifeline. Congress needs to restore unemployment benefits—now."
Women added 99,000 jobs in February while men added 76,000 jobs. Women's largest job gains were in professional and business services (which includes the temporary help sector) (+55,000), private education and health services (+24,000), and leisure and hospitality (+14,000). Men's largest job gains were in professional and business services (+24,000), wholesale trade (+16,400), and construction (+13,000). Women's largest losses were in retail (-10,000) while men's were in information (-12,000).
The unemployment rate for adult women (ages 20 and older) held steady at 5.9 percent between January and February, but their long-term unemployment rate increased by nearly three percentage points, and unemployment rates remained high for some groups of women and men. The share of unemployed adult women who had been searching for a job for six months or more increased in February to 37.7 percent from 34.8 percent in January. The share for adult men ticked up slightly to 36.7 percent in February from 36.5 percent in January. In all, more than 3.8 million people had been looking for work for six months or more. Because Congress let federal long-term unemployment benefits expire at the end of 2013, two million workers have been cut off from benefits according to the National Employment Law Project.
Unemployment rates for vulnerable groups in February remained substantially higher than the overall rate (6.7 percent), as well as the rates for adult men (6.4 percent) and adult women (5.9 percent): adult African-American women (9.9 percent), adult Hispanic women (8.8 percent), single mothers (9.1 percent), adult African-American men (12.9 percent), and adult Hispanic men (7.3 percent). The rates for all groups are about one-and-a-quarter to one-and-a-half times higher than at the start of the recession.
The economy achieved a benchmark of sorts in February. If the economy had not lost any public sector jobs during the recovery, the nation would now have regained the 7.4 million jobs lost during in the recession – but that would still not be enough to reach pre-recession employment levels. The economy lost 7.4 million jobs in the recession (December 2007 – June 2009); in February 2014 private sector job gains during the recovery topped 7.4 million for the first time. But since the nation lost 725,000 public sector jobs during the recovery, the economy is 651,000 jobs short of recovering all the jobs lost in the recession. And there is still a long road ahead; the Hamilton Project estimates that, factoring in population growth, if the economy adds an average of 175,000 jobs a month it will take until 2020 to reach pre-recession employment levels.

I know its taboo around here not to consider Jerod Mayo one of the all time greats but I have to bring this up since it part of the narrative.
Week 1 Mayo comes on a Blitz up the middle and is met by the RB, Tied up, pushed back a bit and the Eagles hit on a long TD pass.
Fast forward to Thursday night. Spikes on the same Blitz, Blows up the RB in route to a monstrous and momentum building sack.
This is what I expect and haven't seen from Mayo. This is the type of play good LB's make. Hopefully Jerod is watching lots of film or he just might find himself spending more time on the bench.

Home > News > Learn About Interactive Metronome, Reflex Integration Therapy
Published on April 30, 2013
Do you have a child who's having problems paying attention in school or at home, or have a family member who's been diagnosed with stroke, a brain injury or Parkinson's? It may be time to explore new options. Interactive Metronome (IM) therapy and reflex integration, offered at Avera St. Luke's Hospital, creates the possibility for better motor and cognitive skills.
A free community health forum focusing on these therapies will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 8, in Aberdeen at Avera State Street Medical Square, 105 S. State St.
Dalita Meyer and Jenn Gustafson, occupational therapists at Avera St. Luke's, will explain IM therapy, which uses headphones, hand and foot sensors to determine how closely a participant responds to computer-generated musical beats. The patient attempts to match the rhythmic beat with repetitive motor actions such as tapping his toes on a floor sensor mat. Immediate feedback is given.

Visit Viv Thomas Video
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
If you've heard of Viv Thomas before, it's probably because he and his team are world-renowned for producing high-quality porn. They're the people responsible for popular titles like "Pink Velvet" and "Unfaithful" and if you liked those, you'll love Viv Thomas Video.
Even if you've never heard of the titles mentioned above, you can discover them and many others on VivThomasVideo. The site brings you 1,124 full-length scenes taken from DVDs as well as 1,145 photo sets. Obviously, that's a lot of porn and the amount of material continues to improve as new photos get added to the site every couple days or so. You don't get new movies nearly as often, but there have been four flicks added to the collection over the last month.
As you can see, you can be sure that quantity isn't an issue here. Thankfully, neither is quality. Some of the older videos aren't quite as impressive as the newer ones, but the best of the vids offer good-quality playback. All the flicks can be downloaded in Windows Media format and they're offered as both clips and full-length files. The pictures look great across the board and they all appear to be high-res. The galleries can be downloaded in Zip files and you can enjoy the photos in a slideshow as well.
The material on display here seems to span the length of Viv Thomas' 15+ year career and a lot of emphasis is placed on lesbian-themed content. Since Viv has specialized in this niche, that shouldn't be too surprising. With that being said, though, there's plenty of hardcore straight sex and solo gal fun too. You don't get access to any other websites when you sign up, but there's already more than enough material to keep you busy while you wait to get new vids and pics.
There isn't much not to like about Viv Thomas Video. The porn is fantastic and there's plenty of it. Best of all, you can access it for a standard price. Whether you've been following Viv's work for years or are just discovering it today, give this site a look. You'll be glad you did.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

I have been on the site for a few months, originally attracted by the quality of video and women. The content undoubtedly is attractive if you care about emotions - it feels quite real. It's a great site, but recently I found their updates slow and for me too heavily leaning to solo and girl/girl. Nevertheless, two thumbs up!
Score: 85% Date: 03/08/2010
This is a good site with lots of good, high-quality lesbian porn. There are some boy girl sets, but it's almost all solo glamor sets and lesbian hardcore. The pics are a good resolution, though a higher resolution would be nice. There are a ton of videos from Viv's features, generally featuring hot Eastern European girls. Downside: downloads are unreliable. I found that larger film files would not download correctly, often ending before the file was actually complete, and that the site speed was on the slow side.
Score: 92% Date: 01/27/2010
Great site, well organized and tons of top quality porn

Atlantic Monthly political blogger Andrew Sullivan takes on the issue of journalism rules for bloggers in this video. He says you can't regulate or enforce, but that readers will discover who is honest and who isn't. He believes that bloggers should not lie, should correct things when they are wrong, should not misrepresent, and will earn their reputation for honesty and integrity as inevitably as did the New York Times. He also embraces his own blogger's rebellious streak, shared with the creators of South Park: "I can say the word 'fuck' and they can't stop me," he gloats.

"One of the keys to become a more effective leader is to monitor how others react to what you say," writes Anita Bruzzese at The Fast Track. "For example, do you feel you're not really being 'heard?' Do you hear that employees are finding you harsh and insulting? Or customers report finding you arrogant? Any of these reactions is a sign that your communication needs to be improved."
Bruzzese offers a list of mistakes that can undermine the perception of you as a leader. We'd also add:
1. Don't ask permission, or apologize -- take responsibility.
For every article that tells you apologizing looks weak, another says that not apologizing makes look insecure. The bottom line is, fixing the problem and not shifting blame for the issue is more important than either saying you're sorry or covering for yourself.
Let the buck stop with you. It'll save time during those endless meetings where everyone's looking for a scapegoat, and it'll move problems toward a solution more quickly.
2. Listen more than you speak.
When you're the boss, people have to pretend to listen to you. The key there is "pretend."
If you actually want people to open their earballs and listen to what you have to say, you have to extend them the same courtesy. You might even learn something.
3. Be genuine.
Why is Office Space still such a cultural touchstone? Because everyone's met a Bill Lumbergh, and no one can stand him. If you can't be forthright with your people, don't engage in doublespeak -- or worse yet, lie.
You can't and shouldn't be best friends with the people you manage, but you don't have to become their nemesis, either. Remember that your goal is to support people so that they can do their best work, as well as to direct that work and mete out discipline when necessary. Tell the truth, or be as quiet as you can.

Hi k he looks like he only has one leg. I think he is related to Guys new bird. D
Hey Bitsy :) I've heard of bird on a wire, but bird on a stick... LOL could be an excellent recipe for next Thanksgiving!
He's no "Hopalong Chickadee" but he is very handsome! Nice Capture Bitsy! Smiles :)GG
P.S. All punishable puns, I know.
Thanks Dianne and GG! LOL, yeah, Guy's bird made me think to upload this shot I got the other day, especially since it looks like Guy's bird from the other side. Poor little guy was cold!
Great title! :D It does look like the Contender's flip-side!
What kind of Heron have you captured in this fine shot Bits - n - Pieces ? At first I thought you got a new fangled super telephoto lense and this was a shot of a heron in Masset from Massetchusetts - or maybe it's the other way around ?
beautiful warm colours :) nice catch :) like ~caroline
Thanks Waldo - LOL, the way they're both hunkered down fledglings sure does make them look like the same bird! But maybe it was Guy who got the photo of this heron at Horn Pond from the QCI - that's why his bird looks even smaller than mine!
I don't know if this is the same first year heron that Kamaly caught in the sticks last week, but there were about 15 babies in a heronry a few miles to the north this summer - so I'm thinking this and the other one might have been some of the tiny things in this shot from about 6 months ago.
Thanks very much carol~sst! it was a pretty sight there by the stream.
This definately looks like a cousin to Guy's bird. He looks cold though. Our Herons have left for winter.
This ugly grey dagnabbit bird is ruining the beautiful golden grass in the background!
He isn't ugly, Norrel! He's a cute little baby, out on his own for his first winter! But he did intrude on my photo of dried grass! ;)
Thanks Laurel! He was cold, poor little thing. Even mid-day it was still below freezing, and the windspeed was about the same as the temperature...felt so cold that this is one of the very few photos I clicked when on my walk. A lot of herons do seem to stay around here for the winter. As long as there are any breaks in the ice it seem they can fish ( or spear voles and things.) But I sure think this little guy would have been better off if he'd headed south.
Perhaps he can't go south, Bitsy. That's a long walk on one leg.

Teen trapped in burning apartment is rescued
SAN DIEGO: A City Heights teenager who was trapped in a burning apartment was rescued yesterday by neighbors and San Diego police officers who pried the metal bars off a bedroom window.
Reynaldo Gonzalez, 15, was in a back bedroom downstairs when the blaze began about 11:30 a.m. in his family's apartment on Fairmount Avenue just south of Orange Avenue.
The front of the unit was on fire, blocking his escape. The frantic teen was home alone and was heard yelling for help, San Diego fire Capt. Ralph Haynes said.
Firefighters from Engine 17 who arrived within two minutes found the entire triplex was on the verge of erupting in flames, Haynes said. They quickly attacked the fire and ventilated the roof, extinguishing the blaze in about 10 minutes.
The cause was determined to be an electrical problem in a small, artificial Christmas tree, Haynes said.
The teen lives in the apartment with his parents and two sisters, ages 10 and 12. The father had just left the unit to go collect recyclable cans, Haynes said.
"They lost everything," the captain said.
The two other units suffered heat and smoke damage, displacing six family members, said Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Maurice Luque. The Red Cross was assisting all 11 displaced residents.
Damage was estimated at $75,000 to the building and $25,000 to contents.

Man unloading batch of lumber dies in accident
SAN DIEGO: A 54-year-old man was killed yesterday in an industrial accident at a lumber storage yard in Otay Mesa.
The man was unloading 20-foot-long wooden beams from a truck about 9:15 a.m. when the large load fell on him at the site, on Marconi Drive near Michael Faraday Drive, San Diego police said.
The impact knocked him backward, and he hit his head, suffering serious head trauma, said San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Maurice Luque. He was pronounced dead a short time later.
The victim, whose name has not been released, had been driving the truck, officials said.
Investigators were trying to determine what caused the load to dislodge.

Medical examiner IDs man hit, killed by car
ESCONDIDO: The county Medical Examiner's Office has identified a man who was struck and killed by an out-of-control car Wednesday as Arthur Tingleaf, 74, of Escondido.
Tingleaf was getting into his pickup truck, parked at the curb in front of his home on Begonia Street, when he was hit about 2 p.m. by a Honda Accord that had veered across the road, authorities said. The car then continued down the street and hit another parked vehicle.
Tingleaf was taken by ambulance to Palomar Medical Center, where he died a short time later.
Police interviewed the driver of the car but did not make an arrest, and the accident is still being investigated. Alcohol is not believed to be a factor, authorities said.
Tingleaf lived with his wife, the medical examiner said.

Man accused of offering girls rides is arrested
SPRING VALLEY: A 40-year-old San Diego man accused of trying to lure young girls into his van is facing child-molestation charges, sheriff's officials said yesterday.
Between Nov. 18 and Nov. 20, the man drove up to girls who were walking alone to La Presa Middle School in Spring Valley, then engaged them in conversation and offered them rides, sheriff's Detective Joe Sherman said.
He approached at least three girls, ages 11, 12 and 13, between 7:40 and 8:40 a.m., the detective said. The girls all ran and reported the incidents.
Detectives identified a suspect who had similar allegations against him last year and issued a warrant for his arrest on charges of annoying or molesting a child under age 18, Sherman said. The man voluntarily came in and appeared before a judge, then posted bail, Sherman said.

|System and Method for Improved Hydrothermal Upgrading of Carbonaceous Material - Methods and apparatus are arranged to increase thermal efficiency, reduce waste water treatment, reduce net usage of fresh water, and improve operational reliability during direct hydrothermal upgrading of carbonaceous materials, including low-rank coals. Drain water collected from the hydrothermal upgrading system is passed through a reboiler system to generate steam which can be returned to the hydrothermal processor system for use therein.
|METHOD FOR THERMALLY UPGRADING CARBONACEOUS MATERIALS - Carbonaceous materials are thermally upgraded in a pressurized steam environment to remove moisture and other byproducts. A variety of water/solid separation devices may be employed in a process vessel to maximize moisture removal from the upgraded charge. Heating media inlet nozzles and process chamber vents are strategically positioned at the process vessel wall to minimize short circuiting of heating media to vessel outlet vents and to continuously separate hot water removed from the charge and condensed steam, such that the upgraded material removed from the process vessel is not discharged with accompanying free moisture. After upgrading, the charge may be rehydrated to improve its stability during shipping and storage.

Host Wayne Tuckson | Gilbert Friedell | Elizabeth Holcomb | Rallie McAllister | Larry Palmer
Can individuals make a difference? They sure can. A big difference.
The host of The CommonHealth of Kentucky is a living example of his firm belief that an individual can make a difference in his community and his profession.
Dr. Wayne Tuckson organized the African-American Health Initiative to improve the health status of blacks and the underprivileged in Louisville and Kentucky. His work has resulted in an annual conference on cancer in the African-American community and the production of the television show Louisville Health, which he hosts. In the fall of 2005, the show expanded its scope and became Kentucky Health. The series airs regularly on KET (see broadcast schedule).
A native of Washington, DC, Tuckson is a graduate of Howard University and the Howard University College of Medicine. He completed an internship in Ob-Gyn at St. Louis University Hospital in Missouri and a residency in general surgery at Howard University Hospital. He then completed both research and clinical fellowships in colon and rectal surgery at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, followed by a year as a clinical associate.
Tuckson returned to Howard as an assistant professor in the Department of Surgery and chief of the Division of Colon and Rectal Surgery. He later joined the faculty of the University of Louisville College of Medicine in the Department of Surgery. Today, he specializes in the full breadth of colon and rectal surgery at Kentuckiana Colon and Rectal Surgery in Louisville, a practice he founded.

With video games now a well-established component of youth culture, it's safe to say that many US troops serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world are gamers.
Here at GamePolitics we've often reported on the relationship between games and the military, a nexus that is sometimes controversial. But whatever one may think about the politics involved, we can all agree that we wish safe passage for our military personnel and honor those who have given their all.
We've made it a practice to report on fallen gamers when we've been able to learn about them from personal remembrances shared by friends and family members. We suspect that there are many more who we don't know about.
Today, Memorial Day in the US, we remember them for their service and their sacrifice.

Starting in 2006, Monday Night Football will now be broadcast on ESPN. ABC decided to give the series to its sister station, which will pay $1.1 billion a year for the show. NBC, which bowed out of broadcasting the NFL after the 1997 season, will broadcast Sunday night NFL games, paying $600 million annually.
End of an era
More than 300 million viewers watched the technology of television gradually change each week as a new generation of portable cameras, video graphics and first-ever special effects came of age on this very high-profile broadcast. It is hard to believe today, but before "Monday Night Football" there were only three U.S. broadcast networks and most games were still played on Sunday afternoons.
It was ABC producer Roone Arledge who had the vision to see a new way to produce football broadcasts. It was his idea to use ABC's weekday broadcast rights to football to create an entertainment prime-time spectacle.
Chet Forte, the director of the program for more than 22 years, ordered twice the usual number of cameras to cover the games. He created the color man position and used computerized graphics within the show as well as instant replay. It was on the Monday broadcast that the first down marker was superimposed onto the field during play.
The broadcast normally requires a fleet of at least seven trucks, including what's called the A unit: containing the main control room, digital and tape playback/recorders and an audio control room. The B unit houses robotics, more digital and tape devices, and audio submix facilities. The edit unit features an expandable truck that serves as a mobile edit suite and takes care of all the graphics requirements for the broadcast.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has euthanized an old female wolf that had settled into a populated area near Jackson.
Wildlife managers trapped and euthanized a large white wolf this past week.
The Fish and Wildlife Service says the wolf had settled with another female wolf in the outskirts of Jackson over the past two months and had been reported by concerned citizens.
Fearing the wolves were starting to form a pack, officials decided to euthanize the older wolf.
The other wolf will be tracked by wildlife managers who hope it will eventually move out of the area on its own

|Holyoke grabs 2 wins against Sedgwick Co.
|Written by Chris Lee
The Dragons traveled to Sedgwick County, Saturday, March 27 looking for their first baseball victories of the season. They managed to capture those victories after two convincing wins over the Cougars.
The two wins improve their record to 2-4.
Holyoke 13, Sedgwick County 7
Coach Kyle Bules said the wind was an issue and they only committed one error in the game. That was the difference in the 13-7 victory, he said.
The Dragons climbed out to an early 2-1 lead after the first inning. Both teams were unable to score in the second. Holyoke reeled off three more runs in the top of the third and held the Cougars scoreless.
Both teams again went scoreless in the fourth inning. Sedgwick County got their first and only lead of the day in the bottom of the fifth inning. They scored five runners to take the one-point advantage.
Holyoke answered in the top of the sixth bringing one runner home. The bats got even hotter in the final inning when Holyoke scored seven more runs to put the game out of reach.
Jaydin Goldenstein got the start and pitched four innings. He gave up five earned runs, four hits, five walks and earned six strikeouts. Francisco Diaz came in for relief in the fifth inning giving up one earned run, five hits, three walks and earned three strikeouts.
Logan Krueger took the mound with the bases loaded and two outs in the final inning. He earned the strikeout to secure the save and the win.
Diaz finished two for four from the plate with a double, triple and three RBI. Brian DeBoer went one for four. He had a triple, two RBI and scored a run.
Holyoke 23, Sedgwick County 6
It only took five innings to put the Cougars away in the second game of the doubleheader.
"Our bats were hot today, we need to keep them hot in order to put ourselves in a position to win more games," Bules said.
Krueger got the win after pitching all five innings. "He did very well," the coach said. The coach also mentioned the defense made some nice plays throughout the game. Krueger had five earned runs, two walks and struck out seven batters.
The Dragons scored 12 runs in the first inning while only giving up two Sedgwick County runs. The two teams were held scoreless in the second inning before Holyoke put up six more in the third.
The Dragons added two more in the fourth and three in the fifth. Sedgwick County scored four in the bottom of the fifth before the game was called by run rule.
Krueger belted a home run and finished four for five from the plate. He also had three doubles and six RBI. Ryan Baumgartner went three for three with a double and four RBI. DeBoer went four for four from the plate with a double, triple and three RBI.

Hi guys.
I've been wondering ..........
If pilots of an airliner were picking up ice during their descent for arrival & approach to their destination, and they were a little faster than ATC liked, would they still use their speed brakes (spoilers) to slow down?
I'm wondering about the buildup of ice that could occur on the spoiler panels themselves and the internal parts of the wing & the spoiler actuators, etc, when flying through icing conditions such as "mixed moderate" icing.
Can ice build up to the point where the spoilers won't be able to fully retract into the upper surface of the wing - thus reducing lift - or are the hydraulic actuators powerful enough to smash away any ice that's forming on the spoiler panels while they're deflected into the airstream?
I guess what I'm asking is ....... is it Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for some airliner flight crews to NOT use speed brakes during known icing conditions, or is this not a concern?

The Conference Board Leading Economic Index(R) (LEI) for France Remains Unchanged
PR Newswire
BRUSSELS, Aug. 22, 2014
BRUSSELS, Aug. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Conference Board Leading Economic Index(R) (LEI) for France was unchanged in June, remaining at 117.7 (2004 = 100), following a 0.2 percent decline in May, and no change in April.
At the same time, The Conference Board Coincident Economic Index(R) (CEI) for France, a measure of current economic activity, increased 0.1 percent in June to 103.7 (2004 = 100), following no change in May, and no change in April.
The Conference Board LEI for France has been virtually unchanged in the first half of this year, and its six-month growth rate, while much slower compared to six months ago, remains slightly positive. Meanwhile, the CEI has been relatively flat for over two years, and its six-month growth rate remains marginally above zero. Taken together, the recent behavior of the composite indexes suggests that the pace of economic activity in France is not likely to change much in the months ahead.
About The Conference Board Leading Economic Index(R) (LEI) for France
The composite economic indexes are the key elements in an analytic system designed to signal peaks and troughs in the business cycle. The leading and coincident economic indexes are essentially composite averages of several individual leading or coincident indicators. They are constructed to summarize and reveal common turning point patterns in economic data in a clearer and more convincing manner than any individual component -- primarily because they smooth out some of the volatility of individual components.
The seven components ofThe Conference Board Leading Economic Index(R) for France include:
Yield Spread, 10 year minus Day-Day Loan
Stock Price SBF 250 Index
Building Permits, residential
New Unemployment Claims
Industrial New Orders
Production Expectations
Ratio Deflator of Manufacturing Value Added to Unit Labor Cost

How to Use T9 on a Cell Phone
We all find typing on a number pad to be very difficult. T9 World addresses this problem by allowing you to simply press the number on which the letter you want is once. Then, after you go on to the next word, it automatically turns it into what word it thinks it is.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Open a new text message, note, or other tool on your phone that requires text typing. Make sure that there is more than two bars, because you don't want the phone randomly turning off.
2Select "T9 Word" from the ABC tab, usually the left or right soft key.
3Write your message, pressing each button only once.
4Watch the phone change it from gibberish into the word you want.
5If it is not the word you want, hit the 'next' button (your phone should be able to tell you which key this is) until you find the word you wanted.
6If it is not show up after a few clicks, either the phone does not register it as a word, or you hit the wrong key somewhere.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
|A tutorial based on the T9 feature for your cell phone.
- If your word does not show up after scrolling through the list, try using the older form of texting to type it in. After using it a few times, T9 will learn the word.
- Turn on word prediction after you are used to it. It makes things much faster.
- Try to use words that don't use the same key combos as other common words.
- T9 does not know all slang, and curse words, Therefore you will have to use the above method so that your T9 will learn the word.
- By no means is this easy, it takes practice, after many text messages and frustration, you will understand it, and you will become proficient.
- For Numbers, and Symbols, don't use T9 switch to the other modes.
- T9 works only for standard English words. Names and words of other languages have to be typed manually.
- This is by no means perfect. Your phone cannot tell what word you want if there are two or more words with the same key combos so press '0'

About 60 people filed into the Monterey firehouse Thursday where Republican magistrate candidate Troy Bramblett participated in Leadership Owen County's second forum for the general election.
Bramblett's opponent and current fourth district magistrate, Ray Smith, was unable to attend the forum due to sickness.
Editor's note: The News-Herald reports all misdemeanors, felonies and small claims judgments in district court, except for juvenile court proceedings, which are confidential; however, traffic offenses by juveniles are reported because they are public record. All civil suits in circuit court are reported. Claims made in a lawsuit present only one side of a case. Charges or citations reported to the News-Herald do not imply guilt. That is determined by the court. Information on this page is public record. Names will not be withheld by request.
The last in a series of three candidate-forums will take place at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Owen County Courthouse. This forum will be for Owenton mayoral candidates, as well as Owenton city council candidates.
Leadership Owen County alumni David Morgan said both current Owenton Mayor David "Milkweed" Wotier and his opponent, Horace "Doug" West, have agreed to attend the forum. Five city council candidates have said they will also attend.
After years of construction and planning, local residents will get a chance to look inside the new water-treatment plant near the Owen/Franklin County line.
Kentucky American Water has announced it will hold an open house Friday for the community to get a peek.
The plant, located on U.S. 127, became operational in September after two years of construction.
Nick Rowe, president of Kentucky American Water, said the plant will help provide needed water to many people in the region.
After a decline in drug-related arrests over the past three years in the city of Owenton, the 2010 rate has been steadily climbing, with 45 arrests so far.
Owenton Police Chief Terry Gentry reported the rise in drug-related arrests during the Oct. 5 Owenton City Council meeting.
Gentry said in 2007 the number of drug-related arrests peaked at 36, but by 2009 the amount had dropped to 23 arrests.
The Owen County Farm Bureau recently received a $82,419 grant to construct a permanent facility for the Owen County Farmers' Market.
According to a recent press release from the Kentucky Governor's Office of Agricultural Policy, the goal of the project is to increase farmers' participation in the market, as well as provide better access for consumers.
The farmers' market, which began in 2003, has been located on the Owen Country Courthouse lawn for six of its seven years.
A no-outdoor-burning restriction that took effect Sept. 24 continues to be in place.
Several grass fires have occurred since the ban went into effect.
However, Owen County Judge/Executive Carolyn Keith said to her knowledge no one has been cited for illegal burning since the ban was announced. According to the Kentucky Division of Forestry, the agency responsible for citing violators, anyone caught maintaining an outside fire could be fined.
The second of three candidate forums will be held Thursday at the Monterey Fire Department.
The series, which will spotlight individual races, turns its attention to the race for Owen County Fourth District magistrate featuring Democrat incumbent Ray Smith and Republican challenger Troy Bramblett
Both Smith and Bramblett have confirmed their intention to attend the forum.
As the local and national economy continues to struggle, the strain on free food banks has never been greater.
Rhonda Young, manager of the Owen County Community Action organization, said the need continues to escalate as more people struggle to get enough to eat.
Recently, Young with the help of volunteers from the Hesler Assembly of God Church, handed out thousands of pounds of food to 200 needy families in Owen County at the Owen County Fairgrounds.
Young said she could see a significant increase in the amount of assistance needed in just a few months.

I've got a couple of IPs that I need to receive mail for, but they are blacklisted on several RBL lists which I use and want to keep active.
I can add them as trusted MTAs, and can receive mail, but I'm a bit reluctanct to do this as I don't want them to be able to relay mail, just send mail without being blocked because of RBL.
I've done some searching and found the that problem lies with Postfix, and not Spamassasin as it is being rejected completely before being received. Some more searching has lead me to a good solution How To Whitelist Hosts/IP Addresses In Postfix | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials which involves creating a whitelist file and modifying the main.cf file to read the whitelist file.
Problem is, modifying the main.cf file seems to be not recommended and instead needs to be done with zmprov. What I'd like to do is add something similar toto smtpd_recipient_restrictions.Code:check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/rbl_override,
Is this good idea or even supported?

My doctor insists I don't have Raynaud's syndrome, but I have the most cold-sensitive fingers and toes of anyone I know.
Luckily my lobster mitts keep the fingers warm even at 20 degrees. But I have not yet figured out the piggies. After 30 minutes of riding at temperatures below 45, the rest of the foot feels fine but the toes are cold. I typically ride with cleats (but see below). Things I've tried:
* larger shoes with two pairs of wool socks (one thin)
* larger shoes with one pair of socks to make sure I'm not cramping the toes
* wiggling the toes as I ride
* plastic bags over feet
* felt liners (to prevent heat loss through cleats)
* regular winter boots on platform pedals (i.e., no cleats)
* booties over shoes over double socks
and various combinations of the above. the only thing that works reliably for me is the chemical toe warmers - they are great but inconvenient and a bit pricey over time as I commute an hour each way most days in the winter and use a pair per day (keep them in a baby food jar at work).
I'm wondering whether I should plunk down a couple hundred bucks for the Lake winter boots. they are pricey, but if I could avoid the numbness that would be wonderful.

As my family and I are getting close to celebrating my son's second birthday I am filled with so much pride and joy. I have a wonderful, happy, healthy and growing baby boy. Yes, I still call him my baby. I cannot believe how fast time flies. It seems like just yesterday he was born, and I was just starting to fall in love with this beautiful new person. I'm not sure if other women think of their children's actual birth on their birthday, but it is something that I did last year, and those feelings are creeping back again this year.
I've spent a lot of time reflecting on my birth experience since Liam was born. It's no secret to many friends and family of mine that I was deeply affected by my birth experience.
I wanted more than anything to have a natural labor and normal vaginal delivery. I wanted that magic moment when you've worked so hard and then all of a sudden with one last force of energy that you didn't think you had in you, you are left holding the precious life you created in your arms, finally. Well that is how I pictured it. That is what they show on the baby story and that is the experience that so many friends that I know had. It is what I envisioned, it is what I deserved, it is what I worked so hard throughout my pregnancy to achieve. It is what didn't happen.
When that didn't happen for me, I was DEVASTATED. The meaning of the word devastation actually doesn't even begin to explain the feelings that I had after my birth. I was induced at 42 weeks when my baby didn't want to budge. I tried absolutely everything to go into labor on my own and scheduling an induction was the first check mark on the list of medical interventions that would eventually create the exact birth experience I was trying to avoid. After a long induction and labor that ended in hours and hours of pushing, out of utter exhaustion and the beginnings of an infection, a cesarean was necessary.
This is my husband Andrew holding Liam for the first time after his birth. Such a proud and happy daddy!
I then proceeded to have continued complications in the operating room losing almost half of my blood volume, requiring numerous transfusions, and continued medical interventions. My husband was scared to death. This was not the experience that I fantasized about. After I made it to my recovery room I was out of it, weak, and had no energy left in me. The whole experience had turned into a horrible nightmare that I instantly felt I wanted a chance to do over.
I was determined to stay awake and be present for my son's first hours of life. With the help of 2 people I was able get my son to latch on for the first time and he nursed. Out of everything we had been through, I was going to breastfeed and we were going to make it work. I will say that moment was beautiful even though it wasn't what I had envisioned. Even if I was drugged up, in pain, and exhausted almost to the point of hallucination, it was my moment and no one could take that from me.
Our first family picture together
After 3 days recovering the in hospital and much longer at home recovering from the surgery I had a lot of time to reflect on my experience. I had this beautiful baby boy that I was sharing this amazing bond with, but I was consumed with thoughts of his birth. I was emotional, upset, and just plain pissed about it. One nurse even said to me before I left the hospital that I shouldn't worry because my experience was probably the worst that it can possibly get and that next time I have a child it can't possibly be that bad. WOW, okay. I'm not sure if that was supposed to make me feel better or worse. I knew it was bad. I was mourning the loss of the birth that I had wanted and felt that as woman and mother I deserved.
So let's fast forward to 22 months later. Am I still upset about my birth experience? Damn right I am. I've gone through a lot of emotions and thought a lot about my feelings and been through different stages of grieving.
People have said to me, "It doesn't really matter how your child came into the world, but just that he/she is healthy." I cannot tell you how infuriating this statement makes me. Am I happy that my son is healthy and safe? Yes. But I'm allowed to be upset about my birth experience, even 22 months later. Those are my feelings, and I'm allowed to own them. When someone says that to me, it's like they are saying that my feelings don't matter. That I shouldn't feel that way. I understand that some people may have gone through a similar experience and been totally fine with it, but that just isn't me.
I am still healing. I've accepted the circumstances that have surrounded my son's birth, but I'm still wounded. My first birth experience will forever be a part of who I am and while over time I'm sure the scars will fade, they will always be there.
My birth story does matter. It matter's to me.
Did you have a similar experience or maybe the complete opposite feelings after a cesarean was necessary? I'd love to hear your comments and stories, so please share!
