We are hoping to submit all our paperwork to the Embassy in the next couple of days. Having to go through this process makes me slightly apprehensive, because it's crucial to make sure everything goes smoothly. Doesn't matter how hard I worked to get into IMD, if the visa doesn't get approved, well, there goes that plan! (And that big first deposit too!)
Here in DC the Swiss Embassy is open 9am to 12pm, Monday through Friday, so that's not ideal with work and everything. But hopefully they operate with the trademark Swiss efficiency in there. It can take upwards of 12 weeks for the visa to be processed. That's quite a long time! Thankfully we still have some cushion, but I can imagine it must be kind of a nightmare for the later round applicants to make sure they figure everything out in time.
It's actually kind of hard to find a definitive list, but as far as I can tell the requirements for the visa seem fairly straight-forward:
- A filled application form
- Two passport photos (which, as one may expect from the Swiss, must conform to a bunch of rules)
- A $79 payment made in cash or money order the day of the application
- The current passport, obviously
- The certificate of attendance from IMD
- Proof of sufficient financial means
Now that last item there is kind of a wild card. How do you demonstrate proof of financial means? From what I've been reading, you should be able to show CHF 1,500 to 2,000 per month you will live in Switzerland, in addition to your housing costs. That's not a small amount! I wonder how strict the consulate will be, and whether they expect you to just have all this cash sitting in your bank account (which I imagine most people probably don't). So Ashley and I have collected a bunch of paperwork to present to them, basically to make it really clear that we won't be living off of Swiss welfare next year. We figure it's better to have more letters, statements and detail than necessary, rather than having the Consulate call us three weeks later to clarify things or request additional documentation.
Another thing Ashley and I need to do is to register with the canton of Vaud, where Lausanne is located. Thankfully much of the documentation is the same that we will submit for the visa (application form, IMD acceptance certificate, proof of financial means), and in addition we will write a short letter letting them know we are also working on the visa application through the Swiss Embassy in DC. The canton requires hard copies to be mailed in, so I imagine it will probably take a little while to get processed as well.
The MBA support team at IMD has provided a lot of useful information and have made themselves available (by email, phone and even Skype!) to answer any questions, which has been super helpful, and extremely appreciated. Fingers crossed everything will work go smoothly and we'll be able to check one more thing off our list!

This is the plant I was most sorry to see freeze. My poinsettias did so well this year, blooming early in December. At least I got to enjoy them through Christmas.
Update on friend's surgery
16 hours ago
Hi Susan: I bundled and draped for hours yesterday and today unbundled and put all that paraphernalia away for hopefully the rest of the winter. I'm glad I did it afterall -- was able to save most of my tender plants. Fortunately my shade helps cover some of the tropicals.
Sorry about your poinsettia-- they don't like it that cold for sure.
Meems...Glad to hear your plants were mostly spared. As you know, that was probably (and hopefully) the one and only night of freezing weather. It's crazy but I always worry about my plants out there when the temps drop to 32 or lower. My yard will enjoy a good spring clean-up this year. Happy New Year!

Looking after leather
Leather items of clothing such as leather jackets, skirts, trousers and coats often take pride of place in our wardrobes as being amongst our most cherished items of clothing. However, these items can end up looking at less than their best if they are not properly cared for. In this ShoppingTrolley guide, I will give you some pointers as to how to keep your leather clothing in tip top condition.
Cleaning and caring for leather wear
When leather needs to be cleaned, you may be tempted to use a dry cleaner, under the assumption that they will know how to give your garment the treatment it deserves. However, specialist leather cleaning can be very expensive, and you often have to sign a disclaimer against your garment being damaged. This is because many dry cleaners who claim to offer a specialist service have little knowledge of the glues and dyes used, and the chemicals they employ can be too harsh, removing the leather's natural oils.
However, there are some things you can do at home to keep your leather wear clean and stain free:
When you are not wearing your jacket or coat, hang it up with plenty of space in your wardrobe, and use a padded hanger to help keep the true shape. Don't keep it in a plastic bag, as leather is a natural material and it needs to be able to breathe.

Scientist synopsis: This is the show where Noel Gallagher slammed Chris Martin after bringing up a few anti-war comments during the show.
"We were trying to say that there is an alternative, that you can
try to be catchy without being slick, poppy without being pop, and you
can be uplifting without being pompous. Because we're sometimes playing
quieter stuff, it's hard to sound like we're trying to change things,
but we wanted to be a reaction against soulless rubbish."

lucie311:(sorry wrote all in caps)
Just to add to all that's been said: I was there too and it was my first EVER gig! I was very impressed with the concert, the boys rocked it good and proper! There were some really funny people in the row in front of me drinking lots and lots of champagne ending the night a wee bit tipsy! One of them was really drunk but looked like 13 or something!! I was very disappointed they didn't play Shiver but I got over it cos of all the amazing songs they DID play!
There were loads of funny chatty parts but I have forgotten them at the
mo, hopefully they will come back to me. One thing I do remember is before

I asked myself on the plane ride back, "What did you learn from this experience?"
The most surprising bit of information was about
's weather. I had
the idea that Seattle
state had cold and very snowy winters. The residents of Washington Edmonds,
Washington, just north of , corrected my misconception. Seattle
They told me that they have relatively mild winters (compared to
and that they seldom get more than two inches of snow at a time. (They were
quick to add that weather was different on the east side of the state. There it
snowed more and got lots colder.) Ohio
I did a little research and found this puzzzling description: "Because the Cascade Mountains run parallel to the coast the entire length of the state,
is divided into two distinct climates. The western third has a temperate rain
forest climate, while the eastern two-thirds of the state is warmer and drier." Washington
Just a short walk into one of the parks in
north west confirmed
that it was rain forest. The moss grows on all sides of the trees! Washington
I hadn't expected Washingtonians (at least the people along
Puget Sound)
to be so concerned about snow, but as several said, "We gotta lot of hills
around here, and it doesn't take much snow to make our streets treacherous and our
roads impassable."
I'll remember that when the white stuff piles up on the
There will be a momentary experience of pride when I reflect that we Buckeyes
can negotiate the icy conditions with more daring and success than our
compatriots in the Queen City . Evergreen
Though conversations about the weather were frequent and sometimes animated, and though I had to change my faulty perceptions about the climate, I did learn again (as so many times before and everywhere else), we Catholics are all trying to cope with similar situations, problems, and hopes no matter where we live.
It is common for us to ask, "Why? Why does God allow some people to suffer so much more than others?"
"Why does the Church (read 'Church leadership') so often fail us and focus on the institution rather than on the Kingdom?"
"Why are so many nominal Catholics choosing not to participate in Sunday Mass?"
"What can I do to grow in my spiritual life?"
Preaching a parish mission is an opportunity to probe some of the questions, acknowledge the human dimension, and offer encouragement and direction for our ongoing conversion.
The weather may differ in one part of the country from another. The people may be better educated in one setting than in another. The economy may be more secure in one region over another.
But in the basics, the people, whether they are Catholics in
Florida, New York,
Louisiana, or ,
are very much alike. Toledo, Ohio
Every parish I have visited has a dedicated core of members, taking on, whether as employees or volunteers, the mission of the Church in their locale. They welcome and share their faith with potential converts in the RCIA program. They teach religion to children and adults. They care for the daily needs of liturgy, building maintenance, fundraising, outreach to the poor.
They and many of their fellow parishioners are open to growing in their understanding of God and in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
's climate was
one of the new things I learned during this recent parish mission experience,
one of the old and consistent was that the People of God, no matter where they
are, share a common heritage and hope. Washington
More than a little rain falls in western
and the state deserves its "Evergreen" sobriquet. Washington
But beyond the weather, the religious and spiritual climate seems to be as full of the mystery and searching and loving that must characterize the
. Kingdom of God
They do not always have the answers, but I think it is safe to say that many are at least asking the right questions.
Their confidence in God allows them to say (at least on occasion), "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow."

On Monday, our second full day in El Nido, we took a tricycle to Las Cabanas beach, a few miles down the road. Whenever we asked anyone what to do, this is what they suggested. "Oh, go to Las Cabanas. It's the best beach." So off we went.
It really is a lovely beach. The thing about Palawan beaches, and the reason we chose Palawan over all the other islands in the Philippines, is that it has beautiful sandy beaches, but then it also has all these little rocky islands and outcroppings out in the water. There's no here-to-eternity-of-water view until you get out past the smaller islands.
We walked all the way down the beach to the end, and then we walked back, and on the way we asked about the zipline. The zipline ran from above the beach across to a small island. The tide was low, so we could have walked across the wet, slimy rock to the small island, but where's the fun in that?
Someone walked us up the steep hill to the zipline, and then we sailed out over the water toward the other island.
Unfortunately, there was a headwind, and no matter how aerodynamic I tried to make myself, I drifted to a halt most of the way over and had to be rescued by the guys running the zipline.
We had lunch on the beach, and settled into beach chairs. I read a book, and then I took a picture of the top of the book and the ocean behind it. I laughed at the picture, telling J. that I couldn't post it on social media, because I accidentally took a picture of a page on which a girl fended off advances by saying, "I'm engaged. To be married," and people might take it the wrong way.
We moved to open sand and laid on the beach for the rest of the afternoon, until we had to go do our fluo night dive.
The next night, after a day of cruising the islands with a bunch of Russian 20-somethings, we took a tricycle back to Las Cabanas beach to catch the sunset. We found a little bench facing the setting sun, with a bench table in front of it. We ordered a ginger soup and some other food I've forgotten. I'd taken off my motion sickness patch, and apparently taking it off after a day on the water resulted in rebound nausea (I really wasn't made for boats).
And after dinner, J. proposed.
This was surprisingly surprising to me. I know that proposals are a thing these days, but I never felt like I needed one. I expected just to do what my parents said they did - have a conversation and decide that it was time.
Spoiler: I said yes.
We hadn't talked about rings, or wedding dates, or anything in other than general terms, and so J. did not have a ring. He tried to get an O-ring for the top of a scuba tank from the dive shop, but the person he asked seemed very skeptical, so he was ringless when the right sort of moment presented itself.
A few minutes later, he went to the bathroom and came back with a piece of toilet paper twisted into a ring, and I put it on and took selfies and he was embarrassed not to have had any kind of ring, but I loved the toilet paper ring. I loved the surprise. I loved the quiet moment between the two of us. I loved it all.
A day or two later, we did scrounge some O-rings from the dive shop, and we both wore those on our right hands until we got back to Gone West, by which time they had stretched out enough that they would not stay on our fingers (even my middle finger), and we ordered silicone rings online, in blue, which we are both wearing on our right hands while we wait for the jeweler to finish the rings she designed for us, which we will also wear on our right hands until our wedding day in August.
It turns out that when you wear a silicone ring on your right hand and don't post an engagement announcement on the f@cebooks, no one knows that you are getting married unless you tell them about it. We may drop some more hints as time goes by. It's fun to have a little secret, although here I am blabbing it to the 8 or 9 people who read my blog. You're in the know, now.
And if we are friends on the f@cebooks, you can go see the photo of the book with the words, "I'm engaged," in front of a beautiful beach in the Philippines.


text: Monday, April 13, 2015 JUSTICE JUDITH SNIDER JOINS JAMSFormer Federal Court justice Judith Snider has joined mediation and arbitration service provider JAMS.Snider will join JAMS' Toronto resolution centre as an arbitrator and mediator in matters including administrative, environmental, intellectual property, business and commercial, and energy and utility matters. Before joining the bench, Snider was general counsel and vice chairwoman of the National Energy Board based in Calgary. She was also a partner at Code Hunter, a boutique litigation firm in Alberta. "Justice Snider is passionate about resolving cases and committed to understanding the parties' issues," said Chris Poole, president and chief executive officer of JAMS."Her experience on the bench and working with parties to reach resolution makes her a terrific addition to our panel in Canada."Snider said that as both a judge and a lawyer, she has learned how "essential" alternative dispute resolution is."I look forward to continue doing this important work and joining the talented team in Toronto," she said.DUNCAN FRASER JOINS WORTZMANSLawyer Duncan Fraser has joined Susan Wortzman PC as vice president and senior legal counsel.Fraser hails from the Department of Justice, where he was director and general counsel of electronic litigation and litigation support services with the litigation branch. "Under his direction, the federal Department of Justice became one of the public sector leaders in e-discovery," Wotzmans said in an announcement last week. "Duncan was responsible for developing and providing comprehensive e-discovery strategy and litigation technology and services to over 2,000 Justice lawyers and paralegals," the firm added, calling Fraser's arrival a "key piece" of its strategy."Duncan's legal experience and expertise in the public sector fit seamlessly into the legal services that Wortzmans provides."DISBARMENT STAYED PENDING APPEALAn appeal panel has stayed a Law Society Tribunal decision to disbar a Nepean, Ont., lawyer pending his appeal.The tribunal had revoked Luigi Savone's licence to practise law after finding he had assisted in fraudulent real estate transactions in which purchasers obtained mortgage proceeds under false pretenses over a period spanning from February 2000 until October 2003. Savone is seeking to appeal that decision on the basis that there was an inordinate delay causing significant prejudice to him. Recently, the appeal division found he had "demonstrated that he would suffer irreparable harm if a stay pending appeal were not granted." "The law society did not cross-examine Mr. Savone on his evidence in this regard. Revocation would shut down his practice and, in the particular circumstances, poses considerable challenges to a later resumption of practice," wrote Mark Sandler on the panel's behalf.He added: "After all, Mr. Savone contends, inter alia, that the entire proceedings should have been stayed and that the findings should all be set aside, based on lack of access to relevant documents. These are two of the grounds of appeal that I cannot dismiss as frivolous."POLL RESULTSThe results of the latest Law Times online poll are in.According to the poll, 88 per cent of participants agree that class actions have gotten out of control in Canada.Recently, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce made a joint statement with the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform saying "a tide" of class action lawsuits is a cause for concern in the world of Canadian business and lamented what it called "a laxity" in getting class actions certified. The majority of poll participants agreed class actions are costing businesses too much as judges are too willing to certify matters.

If you're a "gun guy" you've read a flurry of articles on the Army considering fielding a 7.62mm rifle to replace the 5.56mm M4 as an interim step to eventually adopting a new caliber next decade. The driving force is a perceived overmatch by our current and future potential enemies. It's an effort fraught with errors in logic, understanding how we fight and forgetting history. The only positive is it's about a new gun and who doesn't like a new gun? The problem is buying new stuff doesn't necessarily fix a problem unless you understand the problem. Try fixing your trucks steering alignment problem by buying new bigger tires. Sure the truck looks cooler but you didn't fix the problem and probably created some you didn't intend. (Hope you got that lift kit.)
The driving force behind this initiative is a perceived overmatch the enemy has over the average Grunt. The problem is the shortfall relies on an apples and oranges comparison. Anecdotal reports from the field are that snipers equipped with Enfields and Dragunov sniper rifles as well as medium machine guns like the PKM and the PKP are outranging the Grunt's ability to shoot back. Yes, they do and to someone who doesn't understand how we arm units (not individuals) or who has never been in a firefight, it would seem to make sense. Contrary to what may at first look seem reasonable, it isn't how we fight or counter a threat.
We have our own sniper systems, fielded all the way down to squad level as well as our own medium machine guns to counter those enemy systems. Admittedly we do need a new machinegun to match the PKP's 1500m range but that doesn't make the case for a new individual rifle. Equipping every grunt with the ability to fight a sniper or crew served machine gun is as logical as equipping every infantryman with an anti-tank weapon because he might have to fight a tank. We don't fight that way and that type of thinking weighs down our already overburdened Soldiers and Marines.
Slide 10 "A Path to Overmatch Next Generation Individual Weapon System" By Jim Schatz
Here's another thought, let's assume despite no actual scientific research (another logic error) that the enemy is effectively engaging us at beyond 300 meters on a consistent and operationally significant basis. For arguments sake let's say the case is actually better supported than just the anecdotal situations that are the basis of this perceived overmatch. Wouldn't it behoove us to teach our troops to shoot at greater ranges NOW even before evaluating a new interim rifle on the way to determining an unknown new round? Developing a training program is exponentially simpler than fielding a new weapon system and could squeeze out a couple of hundred yards of effectiveness from existing systems. Heck, it would be a down payment on the required longer-range training program the future desired weapon system would demand.
Our military does a generally poor job of training longer range engagements. Heck, we don't train to the max effective range of our current assault weapons. A little over 20% of the Army's individual qualification course is dedicated to shooting at 300 meters (THREE engagements with a 10 second engagement window per). The Marines devote TEN rounds to shooting at a six-foot by six-foot barn door at 500 meters with a full minute to fire each round at that range. Realistic? Adequate? I think not.
Unfortunately, it's not sexy to improve training instead of getting new kit. The military doesn't have a "Training Corps" but they do have an "Acquisition Corps". There's a profundity there. Also, vendors don't make much money from training versus selling a product outright. Our military still conducts most of their training in house with uniformed staff. Those troops aren't siphoning off campaign contributions from a new training initiative. Major weapons sources habitually grease the political skids with cash, another factor that pushes for material solutions to potential training problems.
What about the efficacy and efficiency of switching to a 7.62 rifle just to be able to have a system that can be upgraded to another caliber in a decade? Ignoring the default bottomless pit of money approach, why limit ourselves before this new super caliber is selected? What if there is a better super caliber specific rifle available in the future when this super round is selected versus the interim rifle being proposed today? Do we just start again from scratch from a new bottomless pit of money? Hey, I'm all for giving troops the best tools AND TRAINING to address the threat but maybe we should confirm what the actual threat is, create the training and then select the caliber instead of a step backward to maybe take a step forward?
There exists a train of thought that adopting 7.62 distances us from 5.56 putting us on the right path to getting to a supposed better and larger round. Ignoring that this better round hasn't been identified yet, this approach ignores the proverbial 800-pound gorilla. That supposed better round is always a bigger round. Why did we leave 7.62? Well it wasn't just because of McNamara's overarching influence on the Department of Defense in the 60's. 7.62mm ammunition and rifles have downsides to being generally issued.
Most of the negative challenges resulting from the selection of a 7.62 battle rifle derive from weight. A slightly heavier rifle is required to fire the round but the real debilitating factor is the weight of the ammunition. 7.62 is almost twice the weight of 5.56 ammo. This is not a small matter especially considering how overburdened the Soldier and Marine is today. The choice then becomes to either add to the combatant's load or do with less. More weight will slow the troop down further as well as cause him to tire more quickly. This is a cumulative phenomenon. Carrying a heavier load for a day is unpleasant. Carrying it for weeks on end is soul crushing.
Lightening the load by carrying less ammo has even worse second order effects. We rely on fire and maneuver to close with to kill, capture or destroy the enemy. The ability to suppress the enemy is critical to being able to maneuver to a position of advantage against him. Suppression requires ammo. Less ammo means less suppression which means less maneuver. That can result in mission failure as well as more casualties. Less ammo also means more frequent resupply. Solutions to ease supply constraints often require minimizing the distance between the source of supply and the user which makes for slow progress. Another solution is stockpiling supplies on the warfighter, a return to the weight problem.
Weight is a major issue often ignored by fans for fielding an intermediate rifle. A recent counter to the weight conundrum is a belief that polymer or telescoped casing will fix the issue. We've been chasing this solution for decades. We should not field an intermediate rifle and pin our hopes on a technology breakthrough. It first needs to be proven. The promise of a lighter round does little to address the increased weight on one's back especially since adoption of a 7.62 interim rifle would but that weight on a warfighter's back for at least five years assuming no setbacks with selecting a new round and the weapon to fire it. Fat chance.
Compared to weight a relatively small but hardly if ever mentioned disadvantage to fielding a 7.62 battle rifle is the additional training that will be required to handle the increased recoil. It's also worth considering the role of women in the Infantry. The growth of women serving was a small part of the reason we moved to a 9mm pistol round in the 80's. Women's increased integration is an important criterion cited by law enforcement organizations when adopting a new pistol and was undoubtedly at play as part of the Army's demand for modularity in the newly adopted Sig 320 pistol. This isn't the biggest issue but it is one.
There are many reasons we should not take the interim rifle course. The overmatch argument is a flawed apples to oranges comparison. The inevitable and at one time correct comments that 5.56 isn't effective rely on old experiences and not the Army's latest and highly effective round, the M855A1. Giving front line troops a bullet launcher with more range while not giving him the training necessary to employ that weapon creates capability on paper alone. Considering that we don't train to our current weapons' max ranges today and haven't for decades should give one pause.
Switching to an interim rifle because it will handle a bigger round than the current platform is capable of seems to be the opposite approach if we haven't even identified the new round. That study isn't going to happen until the next decade. Most importantly though, the weight considerations of 7.62 should be a HUGE red flag for those thinking about fielding a 7.62 battle rifle and a STOP sign for those that will have to actually carry it. How can we invest in an interim rifle to host that unspecified round if we don't even know what the round will be? What if that new round comes with an ideal platform? Do we start over yet again?
Having listed many reasons as to why the interim rifle shouldn't be the path what is? Immediately improve longer range marksmanship training so we can get the most out of the rifles we have. Keep the M4 and do the ammo study now. Not because of a fictitious overmatch issue but to see what demonstrable advantages a different round may have and identify the requirements for a rifle to shoot it should a new round substantially increase lethality, accuracy or range at no additional weight to the soldier. That means perfecting polymer or telescoped cases to generate a 40% weight savings.
I suspect this article will cause a stir and be deeply dissatisfying to "gun guys' like myself. It is a very different take on the "Interim Rifle". Every article out there seems to focus in a glowing manner on the different potential candidates for an interim rifle. A few will even list a disadvantage or two reference the effort but even then, it's a cursory nod. It seems that with the potential of a relaxed defense budget the Army feels it has money burning a hole in its pocket. It can be predicted with a high degree of certainty that spending for spending's sake is hardly ever wise.

This is important simply because it gives you the confidence as nicely as encounter to be certain that you are proficient with your air craft as nicely as proving out all the controls.When individuals consider up the pastime of traveling remote control helicopters they just want to get out and fly the model. The intricacies of how the control methods work is not some thing that is leading of their priorities. At skymodels we comprehend the enthusiasm of novices but it is definitely worth taking the time to "lift the bonnet" on the mechanics of how your design stays in the air.One of the most essential things about buying electric rc planes online is cost. Here you have to be a small careful about choosing the right RC airplanes. You don't want to buy a aircraft that is too inexpensive, because these are considered 'toys,' not genuine designs. They gained't final as long. 1 the other hand, if you are new to this hobby, then you don't want to buy a plane that is truly costly both. You want to be able to fly them, practice your abilities, and get great at flying, instead that stressing about harmful your aircraft.

Payment History – Why It's So Important?
Of the five categories that make up a FICO score, "payment history" is the one that carries the most weight. Specifically, payment history accounts for 35 percent of your total credit score, while amounts owed (30 percent), length of credit history (15 percent), new credit (10 percent) and types of credit used (10 percent) round out the rest of what goes into your score.
But just why is payment history so important? Here's a look:
- The whole point of a credit score is to inform a lender of whether you're a reliable borrower. And a big part of being a reliable borrower is making on-time payments. That's the biggest thing that the "payment history" category tells a lender — whether or not on-time payments have been consistently made on things like credit cards, retail accounts and loans.
- A common query many consumers have is whether a late payment here or there will harm their credit score. And the answer, in most cases, is no if your score is otherwise favorable. However, if you have regular late payments, credit repair is necessary. Luckily, in this case, it's simple to repair credit — just make on-time payments.
- What's in the score? Specifically, when it comes to late payments, a FICO score considers not just how many late payments there are, but how late they were, how much was owed and how recently each one occurred.

In 'Beneath the Surface: From Fluid to Static', I wrote on how time and budget constraints shaped the final
exhibit design of Water:Beneath the Surface much like how water shapes the world around us.
While the design of the exhibit changed considerably over the course of the past few months, the major concepts within the exhibit did not. One of those concepts is a display of minerals where water played some role in their formation.
Early on, the decision was made to leave this area's development to the end. After all, it didn't require much more than the selection of minerals which would go on display. Funnily enough, this area which was left to the end had the working title of Left Behind.
But mineral deposition is not the only way things get left behind.
When it came time to selecting the specimens we were in for a surprise. Our mineral collection is large enough that nobody knows off the top of their head everything within it. While a search of our database is a good place to start to identify potential pieces for inclusion, nothing beats the random luck of what is laying next to the specimen of interest.
In this case, it is a fossilized dinosaur bone.
Yes, we were both astounded to discover it and excited to be able to almost immediately put it on display.
The question that remains, however, is what is the bone's history?
One of the fun things about working in a museum is you never know what you might uncover, and you never know where it might lead you.
To discover more about the background of Water: Beneath the Surface, look for the 'Beneath the Surface' posts here in our main blog, as well as in our Rethink blog.

Head-on collision results from wrong-way driver
By DAVE McMILLION / Staff Writer, Charles Town
CHARLES TOWN, W.Va. - Despite efforts by West Virginia State Police to warn motorists, a man traveling the wrong way on Interstate 81 early Sunday morning struck another car head-on, leaving the driver of the second car in critical condition, police said.
West Virginia State Police Senior Trooper T.C. Kearns said he was operating a radar for speeding motorists on Interstate 81 near the Inwood exit when a car passed him traveling north in the southbound lane.
After spotting the car at 1:27 a.m., Kearns activated his siren and lights in attempt to stop the car. The driver continued up the interstate.
Troopers did not chase the car, but instead followed it up I-81 with their emergency lights on, Kearns said.
Officers hoped that oncoming traffic would see the emergency lights and slow down and not be struck by the oncoming car, Kearns said.

If you have noticed a roof leak in your home, or water stains on the roof deck or ceiling that are evidence of a leak, we'd like to offer two pieces of advice.
First, make Newport News roofing repair a priority. Procrastinating a repair will only lead to more expensive and difficult repairs down the road. Second, don't cut corners or attempt to get a "deal" on roof repair by hiring an amateur contractor. This choice almost always ends up costing MORE money. Here's why.
There is much more involved in repairing a leaking roof than pulling up a couple of shingles and slapping on roof cement. An experienced roofer will begin the repair process by finding the actual source of the leak. This can often be a difficult task, since water may travel long distances along beams, pipes and other surfaces before dripping down onto the ceiling and causing a stain. Finding the exact source of the leak is critical for proper repair and to prevent further damage.
When done correctly, fixing a leaky roof usually involves removing shingles from a large area around the leak (not just those affected) to repair water damage and ensure the shingles are properly sealed. When the leak is caused by loose flashing, the flashing and the materials underneath should be carefully evaluated for rot and damage. If a leak is sealed but the damaged area around it is left untouched, that area will eventually become an even larger source of leaks. Spot repairs cannot extend the life of a roof in need of replacement.
In this business, we frequently deal with situations where homeowners end up with more damage than they had before due to a shoddy roofing company not fixing a leak correctly. When all is said and done, they're faced with expenses that are double what we would have charged for a professional repair – or more. That's why the expense of professional roof repair is worth every penny!
If you need help with a roof leak, call The Roofing & Remodeling Company today at (757) 867-6600. For more than 15 years, we have been the leading choice for expert Newport News roofing in the Hampton Roads and Virginia Peninsula region. Count on our experts for prompt, efficient, high-quality service.
As fall starts, many homeowners are calling roofers in Chesapeake for roof inspection, repair, or replacement.

It didn't happen but it sure felt cold enough,
even the chickens didn't want to get up this morning.
I woke up with in the night and my face was so cold it hurt.
I had to wriggle down under the blankets to warm my nose up.
or I would have been a gonna for sure.
Here are some ATC's I received.
This is from my * person Caro Staton
and these were from Elaine (Eels)
I sent her my ATC and she sent these gorgeous things back.
|Good to see she had my sense of humour!!
the lovely Bella Basson
saw that I was admiring her typewriters that
she had made and she sent me some.
I'm going to have heaps of fun with these.
Thanks so much to all of you,
nothing nicer than getting little pressies in the mail,
it sure beats bills.
I'm still battling this awful
mouse but I have found a pen
at last and hope to have it by next week,
yay, I can use one hand again!!
(if you are wondering, see last weeks post)
School holidays start this friday.
I love the three week winter holiday,
because I get to lay in until 7am instead of up at 5.30am
and I don't freeze quite as much.
It's just a shame that winter isn't only for three weeks.
Well that's my desk for the week, now hop on over to
Julias Stamping Ground and see what's on the other desks
this freezing cold wednesday.
(It's only 17 deg and it's daytime, brrr)
I'm going to make a cup of tea
just so I can hold the hot cup in my hands.

Technology has been a recurring theme the past few weeks. For the past 5 hours or so, I've been staring aimlessly at my computer screen. I may have reached vegetable status. To clarify, I've been working on a mid-term paper in large chunks of time for the past five days. Uff da (as they say in my homeland). Today is, as I'm sure you may have expected, "Techies Day." I swear I didn't make it up! In addition to my long-term relationship with my laptop, I went through security camera training today. (Which was lead by my dear co-worker, Brad Turnbull, today's holiday king.) Thanks to my uncle's prior instruction, I also reset the "oil change service" light on my vehicle. (Hey, when you're a blonde, you rejoice in the little things.)
So needless to say, I need to vent out a little creative energy. So thank you, blogosphere, for indulging me. Don't cry for me though, Argentina. I have balanced the "technical" days, like "Crushed Can Day," with a creative amendment to "Mud Pack Day." (Friday, September 30). Since I didn't want to walk around in spa mode all day, I decided that "snack packs" would do. Inspired by Bill Cosby, I purchased Jell-O pudding, Oreos, and gummy worms. You smelling what I'm stepping in? Yes, I constructed and shared dirt pudding with the world (or just one of my work committees).
My most liberal act as Everyday Holiday enthusiast came on September 25th. I declared it not "Comic Book Day," but my birthday. A little conceited? Perhaps, but I don't anticipate losing any sleep over it. In fact, my eyes are only half, no a quarter open at this point in time.
Goodnight world!
Keep celebrating with head and heart,

1987 nissan pickup D21 6 cyl
6 Answers
make sure it's a strong enough spark , check the rest of the ignition parts , what do the plugs look like ?
Spark is good plugs are new also air adjust screw onT B. has little effect
It runs when i get it started but have to keep rpms up and sometimes it will idle starts the next morning no problem drive for half hour then it wont start
air adjust screw sounds like what a carburetor has to even out the idle , spray some carb cleaner down the throttle , check any loose/broken vacuum hoses , you may have an intake leak if you can apply carb. cleaner on the gasket you can see if the idle changes otherwise there's a smoke test , around 1985 carburetors were on the way out , transition years , so not sure what you have
I have throttle body air adjust screw has little effect i put in a new crank pos. Sensor it helped got it running but its still not running good timed it also new gaskets on throttle body also also put new cthermostat. And choke control on throttle body
pull a few spark plugs see if it's running rich , ie. black soot in tailpipe , did this vehicle sit for a while ? try octane booster in gas tank

It is a sensible textbook written to be used via engineers, scientists and technicians. it isn't meant to be a rigorous medical remedy of the subject matter, as this might fill a number of volumes. relatively, it introduces the reader to the basics of the subject matter, and gives adequate references for an in-depth learn of the topic by means of the technologist. the writer has an entire life educating credential within the California neighborhood collage approach. additionally, he has taught technical classes with the yankee Vacuum Society for roughly 35 years. scholars attending lots of those sessions have backgrounds various from high-school graduates to Ph.D.s in technical disciplines. this can be a really tough classification profile to educate. This e-book nonetheless endeavors to arrive this comparable viewers. simple algebra is needed to grasp lots of the fabric. yet, the calculus is utilized in derivation of a few of the equations. the writer dangers use of the 1st individual I , rather than the writer , and you rather than the reader . either are considered in bad style whilst writing for ebook within the clinical group. besides the fact that, I am penning this ebook for you as the topic is interesting, and that i get pleasure from instructing you, possibly, whatever new. The e-book is written extra within the vein of a one-on-one dialogue with you, instead of the writer lecturing to the reader. There are anecdotes, and examples of a few disasters and successes i've got had during the last forty-five years in vacuum similar actions, i'm going to try out to not understate both. finally, there are a couple of equations which if memorised might help you as a vacuum technician. There are below a dozen equations and part that many ideas of thumb to memorize, for you to be drawn on time an back in designing, working and trouble-shooting any vacuum process.

1 forms a perfect gas seal with the cylinder within which it is contained. There is no outgassing from the components. The piston is attached to a crankshaft which can be rotated either manually or at some fixed rate. The volume above the piston is one liter when it is fully withdrawn from the cylinder, and zero liters when it is fully extended. There are two valves located in the piston head. One valve, V1, is used to introduce gas into the piston head to some desired pressure. The second valve, V~, automatically opens as the piston approaches the top of the cylinder - venting gas and closing the instant the piston reaches top dead center.
Say that the pressure in the vacuum chamber is a factor of ten (10) higher today than it was yesterday. We do not keep log books on each piece of equipment in the factory. But, we should!

It's finally here! The long-awaited cricket protein bar review. Before I dive into my review, I have to answer the question that everyone was asking me, Why Crickets? Well, They offer more protein and nutrients per pound than beef. In fact, many countries around the world already consume crickets, not even ground up. They pop those suckers in whole. According to an article by U.S. News here are just some of the countries that enjoy them.
- Thailand: Grasshoppers, crickets, and worms are seasoned and fried and often served as street food at the local markets.
- Mexico: Bugs are often battered and fried, and in some cases, they are dipped in chocolate. For the really adventurous, Mezcal, a Mexican liquor is served with a worm, usually swallowed whole.
- China: Normally, you will find insects served in high-end restaurants, but you also find them served on skewers on the street.
So, it is clear that crickets and various bugs are already consumed all around the world. According to Fortune, the insect industry may be worth more than 360 million in the coming years. People are enjoying it, so why can't Americans have some fun in the action. Cricket flour also boasts a few health benefits! With anything in life, cricket flour has its upsides and downsides
- Gluten-Free
- 7 grams of protein every two tablespoons
- High source of iron – which promotes bone health and reduces blood pressure
- High in vitamins such as B12 and B2.
- Contains more protein than beef!
- If you are allergic to shellfish, it is possible you are also allergic to crickets. Sorry!
- After doing some research (first two pages of a google search) there really wasn't anything negative!
I first heard about crickets in an article from GQ Magazine. I am not going to lie, I was certainly hesitant at first to drop $40 on a bunch of cricket bars. A few people that I asked said they would be willing to try it, so I bought EXO Cricket Bars!
Exo Protein conveniently makes a few flavors to try! They come in:
- Apple Cinnamon
- Blueberry Vanilla
- Cocoa Nut
- Peanut Butter and Jelly
- Banana Bread
I went with the Banana Bread! When I bought the bars a few weeks ago, Cocoa Nut and PB&J weren't an option! If I were to buy now, it would have been PB&J. Okay, so what did people think? Well, it was mixed. I had various family and friends try the bar. Many people were hesitant to try something made of bugs. The reviews were nothing to rave about. It very well could have been the flavor, or the fact the bars were made of prunes. Personally, I hate prunes – blegh -. Soo… that could have ruined my liking of the bars. On the other hand, the people that did somewhat enjoy it just had the psychological factor they were eating crickets. Were they worth $3? Nah. Would I eat again? Perhaps another flavor.
The population of planet Earth is rapidly growing. We are now at 7.442 BILLION people and growing. Fast. That is a LOT of mouths to feed. People hate change, heck the United States is one of the few countries in the world that refuses to move to the metric system. I get eating whole crickets still sounds disgusting, but ground up? That is not that bad. Some lipstick is made with crushed insects…roadkill is used in some soap, eyeshadow and again lipstick. If you can wear bugs on your face, I am sure you can start to eat them too.

I'm subscribed to about 1,000 health-related media and press release lists, so I can keep track of issues that I tend to write about. Most of them get funnelled directly into an email folder for me to look at later on, but I open a fair number of them as soon as they arrive, too.
Yesterday, a notice from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services caught my eye, and I immediately opened it.
The item, titled "Over 100 and Going Strong," noted that a recent research study that is part of the larger Georgia Centenarian Study found that good attitudes really do seem to make a difference in how long a person lives.
Interesting, huh? We probably all can name a few crusty old people we know who represent the antithesis of having a good attitude. But imagine if attitude really did make the difference in how long we could live–as it appears to have done in at least one group of centenarians.
I presumed that it wasn't all conclusive, that these people were just self-reporting that they'd had a good attitude. So I went to the original source, the paper titled "Understanding Centenarians' Psychosocial Dynamics and Their Contributions to Health and Quality of Life" in the journal Current Gerontology and Geriatrics Research. Turns out, it's okay that people self-report: "Self-reported or subjective health serves as a useful index of physical trajectories of current health status as well as an indicator of the presence or absence of resources that might influence functional decline." And the researchers noted that personality does seem to impact longevity and health.
What I took away from the study is that researchers need to remember not to neglect certain factors that go beyond physical health when studying people with exceptionally long life spans. "[F]ocusing exclusively on health aspects would disregard the importance of a number of psychosocial domains, including life events, personality, cognition, and social supports, that are also essential for a rewarding life at 100 and beyond," wrote the authors.
The power of positive thinking seems to be powerful than we might have thought. Remind me of that the next time I'm grousing about something inconsequential.

|RE: DBCP Returning Closed Connections
|Wed, 17 Sep 2008 20:11:49 GMT
We've had the same problem on SQL Server. Set the "testWhileIdle" to test a few connections every so often. It will keep the connections alive. -----Original Message----- From: Khawaja Shams [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 12:40 PM To: email@example.com Subject: DBCP Returning Closed Connections Hello, One of our servers goes through periods of activity followed by long idle durations. It appears as though after the server sits idle for a few hours, subsequent requests to the DBCP Pool return connections that have already been closed. This is a bit frustrating as I could not find a way to take that connection out of the pool, and the same instance of the connection keeps getting returned to other requests. The connection is to a MySQL server. I tried setting the testOnBorrow variable to true (I am using BasicDataSource) before the first time I borrow the connection, but it does not seem to have any impact. Does anybody have a work around or a hunch as to what I may be doing wrong? Thanks.
