Editor’s Note: Turns out Christopher Breen’s return from MacMania isn’t done yet.
Wichita, Kansas —If one were to measure a successful trip by the amount of time versus dollars spent, my trip home from the recent MacMania cruise is a grand success.
When last we met, I was lost in a vengeful fantasy—planning how I would serve Alitalia representatives Paulo-of-the-white-Eurotrash-glasses and Blameless Marco for turning what should have been a long day of travel into a days long endurance contest. Little did I know when I filed the story that there would be more to tell. It’s like this:
If Alitalia had honored my confirmed ticket from Rome to Cincinnati, I wouldn’t have had to tell the Blameless Marco that I would do anything to get out of Rome on Monday.
If I had chosen to stay in Rome, I wouldn’t have found myself running an hour late on the flight from Rome to Paris.
If Air France hadn’t held up its Paris to Rome flight to accommodate me and other passengers, I wouldn’t have eventually found myself at New York’s JFK airport.
If I hadn’t arrived at JFK at the end of the evening, I wouldn’t have had to spend the night in a nearby Ramada Inn that one could generously describe as “only funky.”
If I had slept in and missed my Delta flight from JFK to San Francisco, I wouldn’t have been rudely interrupted by the captain mid-flight, reporting that due to an oil leak in one of the engines we would make an emergency landing in Wichita, Kansas. What the captain didn’t report is that they had shut down the engine and landed without it.
If this was a major airport, there would have been a replacement jet ready to carry us to San Francisco instead of a mechanic that Delta brought in to check out the plane.
If the mechanic and crew were completely sure of their work, they wouldn’t have had to take all the baggage out of the plane in case it turns out to be faster to put us all on another plane and send us somewhere else.
If some of that baggage was mine, I could change out of the now-nasty gray (and getting grayer) t-shirt and jeans that I’ve been living in for nearly two days. In all likelihood, that luggage is on its way to Bombay.
If I had slept more than a couple of hours in those past two days, I would seriously consider renting a car, driving to Kansas City, and booking a flight with any carrier other than Delta.
If I knew any meat barons here in the Midwest, I’d call in a favor and ask said baron to fly me and a couple of other Mac-using patrons likewise marooned in Wichita home on his private jet.
If I had any sense, I’d just walk home instead of taking the tickets from Wichita-to-Dallas/Ft.Worth and then Dallas/Ft. Worth to San Francisco. Thankfully, Delta is now out of the equation and has turned my destiny over to two other airlines.
If I knew the end of this story, I would come up with a snappy and somewhat philosophical conclusion.
So I can’t.


Monitoring & Reporting
How do you know if your code is working properly even when you aren't there? The answer is setting up the right monitoring and reporting. There are lots of ways to do this, some of them just plain wrong. Read how to get it right and what the best tools for the job are.

Once you have put up your greenhouse, it’s time to make it do what it become supposed to do – foster the rapid and wholesome growth of the flora internal it. The strength of a greenhouse lies in the ability to control the climactic conditions inside.
One such large climactic situation is temperature. You need to have the proper temperature if you are to recognise top of the line plant boom. Light is every other vital attention. Note that one climactic component may have an impact on some other. For instance, an excessive amount of sunlight in the greenhouse can raise the indoor temperature past the correct levels.
There are a number of actions you may take to control the impact of outside weather adjustments to the greenhouse’s internal atmospheric conditions.
A. Ventilation – Every greenhouse have to be constructed with two sorts of ventilation in thoughts – herbal and artificial air flow. For natural ventilation, you want handiest accurately position some of retailers and inlets to permit the natural go with the flow of air in and out of the greenhouse. Electricity may or might not be used however this will simplest be for controlling establishing and ultimate the inlets or shops. While natural air flow is a terrific fee saver, it’s far useless in locations with excessive out of doors temperatures.
And that is wherein automatic air flow is available in. Auto-air flow regulates indoor temperatures the use of power powered louvers and exhaust fans. The distinction between automated ventilation and electricity-powered natural ventilation is that the previous is usually a part of a larger aircon gadget that detects temperature and powers the louvers and enthusiasts for that reason.
B. Cooling – When ventilation by myself is insufficient to manipulate the temperature within the greenhouse, a one-of-a-kind technique is needed. Two commonplace strategies used to govern temperature and that could augment air flow are: fog systems and pad-and-fan structures.
Fog systems use nozzles mounted each 50 to 100 feet in the greenhouse to calmly distribute a cooling ‘fog’. It is expensive because smooth water must be used to save you the tiny mouth of every nozzle from getting blocked.
Pad-and-fan generation goes hand in hand with automatic ventilation. Evaporative pads are established at air inlets and cool the air entering the greenhouse. The cool air circulates within the greenhouse selecting warmth within the technique before it’s miles pulled out through the exhaust fans.

Former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain can get lots of dough (for making pizza and campaign contributions) and poll numbers (they are increasing seemingly with each poll and he is the GOP front-runner in one) but — to use a now-trite Rodney Dangerfield line — he can’t get no response, from most pundits and even conservative talk show hosts.
To be sure, pundits are impressed with how well he’s doing in the polls and how he’s capturing the hearts and minds of the conservative faithful. In monitoring some conservative talk shows this week, several hosts said how much they love Cain but most went along with the media conventional wisdom that a)he can’t really get the nomination in the end b)he could never be re-elected.
So all (political) eyes will be on NBC’s still compelling “Meet the Press” on Sunday when Cain undergoes the show’s famous political proctological exam.
If Cain wows ’em, look for his poll numbers to go and for some of the old conventional wisdom about him being more a novelty, flash in the pan, flavor of week, yet one more high polling Tea Party favorite who will deflate as fast as he fizzled. And if he bombs or makes a major gaffe, look for him to be proven to have been a novelty, flash in the pan, flavor of week, yet one more high polling Tea Party favorite who will deflate as fast as he fizzled. The Hill reports:
Herman Cain’s presidential bid faces a big test Sunday as the newly minted front-runner takes center-stage on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
The appearance will mark the first time he has appeared on one of the Sunday morning shows since he became a top-tier contender. Cain has not had to answer in-depth questions on some topics since he became the center of attention.
An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Wednesday evening found that 27 percent of voters would pick Cain as their first choice for the Republican presidential nomination followed by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney with 23 percent and Texas Gov. Rick Perry at 16 percent.
“Meet the Press” Host David Gregory is known as a tough interviewer, and while Cain mostly held his own during last Tuesday’s GOP debate despite increased focus on his “9-9-9” economic platform, he has at times failed to show a depth of knowledge on some issues.
Cain took heat the last time he was on a Sunday show back in May when he showed a lack of knowledge of the details of Israeli-Palestinian tensions. On “Fox News Sunday” Cain stumbled through an answer on the “right of return” for Palestinians displaced from their homes during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war that led to the creation of Israel — one of the two key intractable disagreements between the two sides.
“That is something that should be negotiated … That is something that should be negotiated,” Cain responded after a pause.
He also joked last week that he’s not concerned with learning the finer points on some policy issues — like knowing the names of some world leaders.
That kind of joke is called a political “innoculation” where he’s preparing to get a question like that and is ready to say “See? I told you so.”
But Cain can’t win an election being a favorite of Tea Party member and Rush Limbaugh. He’s also going to have to be seen as someone who the GOP establishment thinks they can live with, who has the ability to get some independent voter votes — realizing that a chunk of the independent voters are also former moderate Republicans who feel their party has gone too far to the right and that they’d rather stay home and not vote (likely) or hold their nose and vote for Obama (unlikely since they did that last time and to them the smells was and is worse than they thought).
Can Cain cut it? Stay tuned (to NBC).

Microbial air contamination monitoring is a key process in facilities with special air cleanliness needs such as pharmaceutical, food, or cosmetic industries. 14698-1 normative establishes that environmental air sampling should be carried out considering the situation and using a device according to the written process and the instructions given by the manufacturer of the device respectively. With the IUL’s Spin air impaction air sampler an accurate volume of air is sampled by forcing it towards a surface, such as a Petri plate’s agar. After incubation, the colony count enables the assessment of the microbiological air quality. Air sampler grant users a compact, portable, simple solution to air sampling. Accuracy and precision-enhancing Spin technology enable Spin Air samples to outperform the accuracy of other air sampling systems.
Environmental air sampling assessment
The US Pharmacopeia (USP) chapter <797> establishes standardized protocols to ensure the preparation of sterile and compounded sterile preparations. A cornerstone of chapter <797> is the verification that the pharmacy’s cleanroom environment is maintained free from significant sources of contamination. One of the approaches used for this process is air sampling to detect bacterial and fungal organisms in the cleanroom environment. 14698-1 normative, which runs all the air sampling rules for cleanrooms and associated controlled environments, summarizes that the election of a device for air sampling should consider different factors such as the type and size of particles that can be sampled, the sensitivity of the particles, the characteristics of the device and the culture medium in which the microbiological particles are collected. However, which culture medium and bacteria must take into account when air sampling is carried out?
Overall, the 14698-1 normative establishes that the culture medium and the incubation conditions (such as temperature, duration, oxygen tension, and relative humidity) have to be selected according to the type of microorganisms expected in the clean environment. This selection also depends on the sample environment, process, and equipment that have been selected. Bacillus spp. are the most frequently isolated bacterial contaminants. However, Gram-negative rods, such as Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas, Stenotrophomonas, Acinetobacter, and even Mycobacterium and Nocardia spp., are also recovered. Aspergillus, Acremonium, and Fusarium fungi are the most frequently isolated molds. However, the 14698-1 normative states that the culture medium must be non-selective and to include appropriate additives to compensate or reduce the effects when an antimicrobial activity is expected in the sampling.
How many plates and replicates i have to carry out?
The USP chapter <797> recommends using two types of agars: tryptic soy agar with polysorbate and lecithin (TSApl) for bacteria and malt extract agar (MEA) for fungi isolation. In contrast, the Controlled Environment Testing Association (CETA), the professional organization for individuals who certifies quality control personnel and cleanrooms, states in its 2021 certification application guide that a single plate method is acceptable, implying that it is not always necessary to use an additional medium specifically for fungi. Due to the discrepancies given by both guides, Weissfeld et al. studied the “Optimal Media for Use in Air sampling to Detect Cultivable Bacteria and Fungi in the Pharmacy”. Comparing TSApl versus MEA, the authors concluded that MEA yields 2.5 times more fungal isolates than TSApl, so the analysis of 5.5 years of data of 2.073 environmental air samples showed that two media (one bacterial and one fungal) must be used to effectively track and correct any problems.
Sampling frequency has to be established in the sampling plan of each company but cannot be limited or little volumes to get representative results using the Formal System chosen and must be confirmed or modified, if necessary, in the following cases:
When the levels of alert and action are exceeded.
- After a prolonged break of activity.
- In the detection of infective agents in risk areas.
- Before significant maintenance in the ventilation system is made.
- After changes in the process that affect the environment of the cleanroom.
- When unusual results are registered.
- After changes in the cleaning or disinfection procedure.
- After unforeseen incidents which can contribute to biocontamination.

Dr. Kelly Withers Sworn In as Rowan-Salisbury Schools Superintendent
Dr. Kelly Withers was sworn in as Rowan-Salisbury Schools’ seventh superintendent on Monday, September 26, at the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education business meeting.
“I wanted to take just a minute to thank the Board one last time for letting me serve this community as superintendent,” she said. “There’s much work to be done, and I look forward to getting started.”
Withers spent more than two decades as a teacher, assistant principal, principal and district administrator at Rowan-Salisbury Schools. Most recently, she served as the Deputy Superintendent for Cabarrus County Schools.
Withers and her husband Lee are proud Rowan County citizens. They have three children - a son, Carson, a sophomore at UNC-Chapel Hill, and twin daughters, Cailynn and Campbell, who are freshmen at South Rowan High School.


i have a 30 30 12 inch super contender barrel i plan to shoot hogdgons powder with 125 ballistic tip, i was thinkin 322 cause i have lot of it and it burns faster than varget and the barrel is only twelve inches, any thoughts are welcolme
dholepuncher, My 30-30 barrel w/ 125BT loves Rel7 but 322 should do well. I used to try to out-guess my barrel...shorter barrel...faster powder...etc, and sometimes it worked. However, over the years I've found that for bottle neck cartridges, the same powder thats best in rifle barrels is often still the best one in pistol barrels ( 14-16" )...10"...maybe not...12"...I don't know. But then not knowing means more reason to shoot MORE....YES.
By the way, you sent me a PM a week or so back and I tried to get back to you but I think I blew it. Sorry, If you remember hollar back and I'll try to do better. GOOD SHOOTIN', Walt
Hopalong is correct in that the same powders that give the highest velocities in long barrels will give the highest velocity in short barrels. The reason for this is that the bullet weight and capacity of the cartridge determine the powder that will give the highest velocity from what ever barrel length you have.

Postcard by Alice Munro, 1968
The magic trick:
Avoiding any cliché or stock character by including an array of imaginative and relatable details
In the midst of a February run of romance here on the SSMT site we’ll see all kinds of love stories. Perhaps too many love stories. You start to see clichés and stock characters emerge. Well, not here. Nothing to worry about along those lines at all.
Munro has a supersonic imagination. It doesn’t show up in flashy, dramatic ways. This isn’t science fiction or Ray Bradbury. Her work is always going to be rooted in the reality of the plain, old, normal world. No, her imagination lies in the details, the smallest little additions. The way the narrator laments the saliva in her hair but accepts it begrudgingly as a part of physical and romantic love. The way she summarizes Alma’s selfish “friendship” by saying she comes over every time she smells shepherd’s pie in the air. These are details that everyone can relate to, so they generalize the story even as they specify it. The protagonist rises above any notion of stock character. She is a nuanced individual. And that’s quite a trick on Munro’s part.
“What is she like?” I said in spite of myself.
“She’s no juvenile,” Grace said. “His age, anyway. What did I tell you it was his sister’s friend? And she won’t win any prizes in the looks department. Mind you she’s all right.”
“Is she big or little?” I couldn’t stop now. “Dark or fair?”
“She had a hat on so Grace couldn’t see the colour of her hair but she thought dark. She’s a big woman. Grace said she had a rear end on her like a grand piano. Maybe she has money.”
“Did Grace say that too?”
“No. I said it. Just speculating.”

This blog is about the trials and tribulations of a sarcastic, married 31 year old girl who is trying to navigating through life.
It will have snippets of life be it being a middle child of 3 girls, her new marriage, her family, her cats, work, running (or trying to), or her DIY challenges(and hopefully successes).
Mango Chipotle Chicken Kabobs
Serves 2-4 people
1 lb of boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 Onion (optional)
1 can of pineapple (optional)
1/2 cup of Kraft Mango Chipotle Dressing
Cut chicken into 1 inch or so pieces. put it in a dish and pour the dressing over it. Marinate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes, or all day.
Cut your peppers, onion and pineapple if you are using into 1 inch pieces. You want everything to be similar size.
Pull out the chicken, and start threading everything on skewers alternating meat, veggies and pineapple if using. If you are using a wooden skewer, make sure you soaked them.
Put the prepared skewers on the grill, and rotate every 5 minutes or so for about 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is done.

In a complex interplay between state regulatory structure, legal doctrine, and private industry, the Gold King Mine spill serves as a shining example of government breakdown. On August 5, 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) in dealing with the Gold King Mine, an abandoned mine site in southwest Colorado, triggered the release of three million gallons of toxic waste, containing a mixture of heavy metals that included lead, arsenic, cadmium, beryllium, and mercury, that affected Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and the Navajo Nation. The actual spill climaxed an ongoing environmental nightmare, lurking in the San Juan Mountains, leaching silently into the watershed. The shadows of disaster extend far back into Colorado history when, decades ago, mining companies began altering the flow of water through interconnect tunnels in the extensively mined Upper Animas River watershed. The potential for a major blowout loomed inevitable as millions of gallons of pressurized water had been bottling up inside the Gold King mine.
But, the extent of environmental disaster soars much worse than one isolated incident. Metallic, acidic wastewater escaping from abandoned mines affects agriculture, ranching, aquatic life, human and wild life, and aquifers. The Gold King Mine and three other nearby sites were discharging 330 million gallons of toxic waste each year. Mathy Stanislaus, an EPA assistant administrator who handles cleanup activities, mildly described the issue as “ongoing adverse water quality impacts,” which the EPA has tried unsuccessfully to address. The EPA estimates that total discharges from regional abandoned mines leach the equivalent of one Gold King mine disaster every two days, resulting in the failure of 1,645 miles of rivers and streams to meet Clean Water Act standards.
In 2005, a previous water treatment system near Gold King Mine cleaned water flowing into Cement Creek, a headwater of the Animas River. However, the plant closed when funding failed. Since the closing, contaminated water has flown without treatment. Now, the EPA is considering opening a similar water treatment facility after struggling to clean the now severely contaminated water following the Gold King Mine spill. However, such a facility is expensive, costing up to $20 million to construct.
While public pressure to build a water-treatment plant mounts, government officials debate whether the effective results offset high construction and maintenance costs. The EPA currently employs several settling ponds, which will not function in freezing weather. Settling ponds, which rely on water to accomplish their tasks, freeze in cold temperatures.
Officials have long fretted over providing for and regulating water. Over 100 years ago, in the nineteenth century, after Denver secured a reliable quantity of water, citizens began worrying about the quality of their water supply when they noticed a “foul appearance, taste, and odor.” Company officials from Denver City Water Company blamed the water’s dirty appearance on sediment and assured concerned citizens nothing was wrong. However, citizens continued to sicken, contracting typhoid, an illness spread through sewage-contaminated water. Eventually, in response to continued water quality issues, companies began trying to solve the problem in creative ways. Like the officials tasked with cleaning the Animas, they began searching for solutions. Private companies built wood shelters over reservoirs, and Denver passed laws banning hogs within the city. Citizens continued to contract typhoid, inciting pubic outcry. In response, companies considered a scientific remedy for contamination, filtration. In 1884, Denver installed its first filtration system.
Like government assurances that sewage-filled municipal water was fine, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper drank water from the Animas River to comfort citizens that the river had returned to pre-contamination conditions. State officials stated with confidence that the river does not pose a toxic threat to humans. Governor Hickenlooper was happy to show that “we’re back to normal,” but what is normal? Normal in the context of the Animas River spill is slow, but steady contamination.
The situation only stands to get worse. The recent economic crisis increases water access issues by decreasing investment in water infrastructure and bolstering private investment in water. The privatization of water utilities “has little to do with equality or equity.” The commodification of water spurs decisions centering on commercial, not environmental or social justice concerns. The cost to ship supplies adds into the cleanup calculus for remote locations. The mountain land increases difficulty and expense, since facilities are more than a short drive from the Home Depot. Yet, as the Animas contamination demonstrates, water remains a precious resource. Investment in water infrastructure pays off. For instance, the Argo Tunnel facility in Colorado, though expensive, has allowed fish to return and recreational industries to be possible on the Clear Creek. The state-run facility supports both the natural wildlife and human enjoyment of the stream.
In a world of discrete property rights and bundles, water complicates the picture. As government agencies attempt river clean up, citizens confront questions of water quantity, quality, and price. The cost of environmental exploitation, such as the Animas River spill, sometimes gets passed down the line. Miners who profited from the Gold King mine are long gone, and the current generation is funding clean up. The discovery of gold in the Rocky Mountain West fueled civilization, but settlement has a cost. Colorado’s polluted streams remind us of the environmental costs and benefits in the calculus, even those that take a century to materialize.

Acceptance of telehealth has been rising significantly over the previous few years. The pandemic hastened this process. This expansion has been anticipated to continue. The healthcare industry has evolved to recognize virtual care as a standard. It is also an essential component of therapy.
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a cutting-edge approach. Healthcare professionals monitor their patients at home using digital health and telehealth tools. They do so frequently in collaboration with home healthcare providers.
Top 8 Myths and Misconceptions About Remote Patient Monitoring
The most common myths and misconceptions about remote patient working are:
1.Telemedicine is Dangerous
The security of your telehealth visits is nothing to be concerned about. Every trustworthy telehealth platform complies with HIPAA rules. It is built with the highest level of protection.
If you are unsure about the security risk, ask your vendor to walk you through their practices. Then, patients who exhibit worry can be treated the same as you. When telemedicine becomes an option, inform patients about its security.
2. It Doesn’t Give Patients Great Results
It is thought that RPM does not enhance patient outcomes. But this is inaccurate. RPM gives patients the resources they need. It helps them to take control of and manage their health successfully. On the other hand, doctors may closely monitor their patients over time. This can be done using their data to develop a personalized care plan.
This kind of care is also available to patients living outside cities. Remote patient monitoring makes it simple for people living in rural locations to get high-quality care. Doctors can influence their patients to follow health recommendations by communicating with them. They can also provide the knowledge to help them make informed decisions.
3. It’s Not as Effective as Physical Exams
There is no denying the value of a physical in teaching doctors about a patient’s health. But many illnesses can be treated without one. Vital sign information can be critical from remote patient monitoring. It includes heart rate, weight, physical activity, blood pressure, and sugar levels. Because indicators are reported in real-time, care providers also act quickly.
There are no issues with lengthy doctor wait times or doctor availability. Through remote patient monitoring, patients can receive reminders about their prescriptions. It also informs about meals, sleep habits, stress management methods, etc.
4. It Increases the Risk of Malpractice
Malpractice is a risk both with and without remote patient monitoring. But it is lowered by:
- Effective communication
- Growth of an appropriate doctor-patient relationship
- The documentation of enough patient medical data
- Assurance of data privacy and security
- Provision of high-quality care
Healthcare providers should also get highly familiar with telemedicine regulations to lower the risk of malpractice. It makes sense that people’s concerns have surfaced. This is due to the unexpected increase in telehealth. It is a relatively new technique for delivering healthcare. But it will still play a significant role in healthcare, so it’s essential to understand its potential.
5. Too Much Automation, Less Human Interaction
RPM should only be used as an addition to medical care. It should not be used to take its place. RPM deepens the conversation between a doctor and a patient. It can also be used as a tool to educate patients. Patient acquisition marketing can be done effectively with the help of online spaces.
It’s one thing to hear a caregiver outline the advantages of specific behavioral changes. It’s quite another to observe these changes take place. Patients who participate in RPM feel more important because they become a part of their care team.
6. Technology Isn’t Easy to Handle
It is considered that healthcare organizations could find the digitalization of healthcare too challenging. However, it’s easy to use, and the impact of digital technology cannot be denied. Its advantages include:
- Accurate patient data gathering
- Real-time health information
- Automated administrative duties
- Enhanced awareness
- Increased communication
User-friendly remote healthcare systems are available to businesses in the healthcare sector. They have an interface to collect data from all sources. They also have a specialty care solution, customizable options, and data analytics tools. These healthcare monitoring systems can draw insights to improve healthcare delivery.
7. Patients Do Not Want Telemedicine Used in Fields Except Medicine
Studies in almost every area of healthcare indicate that patients prefer remote appointments. This also includes taking care of your teeth and eyes. According to a 2019 study, 78% of consumers expect to utilize teledentistry in some capacity during the next five years.
More than 70% of customers are interested in virtual eye exams. The COVID-19 outbreak spread, and patients avoided clinics. These numbers have only climbed since then.
8. Only High-Speed Internet is Compatible
Wi-Fi is required but not necessarily. Bluetooth devices would join a cellular network. The pandemic’s use of telemedicine and RPM highlighted the need for improved connectivity. It applies explicitly to underdeveloped areas. As a result, several communities are creating policies to enhance their service options.
To ensure connectivity, careful planning is necessary. Before selecting the technology that delivers the optimal link, communities and groups that healthcare organizations hope to reach through RPM should be examined.
Technology in healthcare has brought about significant improvements. Communication is now more efficient and faster. Online patient records are currently operating without a hitch. To make wise decisions, you must be aware of prevalent myths.

Lady Raiders bow in state field hockey semi
Unable to get untracked offensively, Barker dropped a 2-0 decision to Bronxville (Section I) in the semifinals of the state Class C field hockey championships this afternoon on the blue turf field at Alden High School.
Bronxville, which had a 14-0 advantage in shots and a 5-0 edge in penalty corner opportunities in the first half, scored what proved to be the game winner on a goal by Julia Widen with 10:55 to go in the half.
Controlling play throughout, the Broncos, which finished with a whopping 22-1 advantage in shots, later netted the clincher on another goal by Widen with 18:08 to go in the second half.
Barker had five corner opportunities in the second half but couldn’t capitalize as three of them came in the final flour minutes.
“It seemed like they had 15 players out there. They were just all over us,” said Barker Coach Jeff Costello. “They moved very well and passed the ball very well. We just struggled to get possession and when we did get opportunities we just couldn’t do much.”
Barker’s Katrina Clare was named to the Class C All-Tournament team.
Barker, which was appearing in the state semis for the second year in a row and the sixth time since 2000, finishes the season at 17-4.
Bronxville, which improves to 16-3-2, will now face Johnstown for the Class C title at 10 a.m. Sunday at Alden. Johnstown nipped Carle Place 3-2 in the other semifinal scoring the game winner with just three seconds to go in the 7 on 7 10 minute overtime period.

MEMPHIS – It’s might be hard for fans to look on the bright side after the Timberwolves suffered another agonizing loss, this time 108-106 to a Memphis team playing without Marc Gasol, who was reportedly close to being dealt before the game.
It might be especially hard to lose the way the Wolves did, with Justin Holiday sinking the winning free throws after officials called Josh Okogie for a loose-ball foul with 0.1 seconds left.
But if there was one bright spot, perhaps it was Dario Saric’s breakout performance in a Wolves uniform. Saric came off the bench to score 22 points, a season high for him in both Philadelphia and Minnesota, and kept the Wolves in the game early after the fell behind by 19 in the first quarter.
Saric had it going from inside and out, connecting on 4 of 7 3-pointers and hitting all four of his free throws.
“I saw guys started a little bit slower than usual in the game,” Saric said. “I was trying to say to myself, ‘Just try to play hard, bring some energy.’ And you know, some situations opened for me, some good looks and I take maybe a little bit more responsibility than usual.”
Saric had 16 of his 22 points in the first half. He also added seen rebounds and was a plus-29 for the game – easily the highest number of any Wolves player Tuesday.
“Played his best game of the year. Sad enough we had to waste it,” Towns said. “He came out, he was on fire, played amazing, gave us some lift and gave us a chance to win this game.”
Saric wasn’t the only one who came off the bench to contribute in a big way. Luol Deng continued his resurgence with 18 points on 8 of 10 shooting.
“They were very capable,” Josh Okogie said. “I’m not surprised by it.”
Rough night for Gibson
While Saric had a good night, it wasn’t as good for his counterpart at power forward, with Taj Gibson scoring only two points on 1 of 4 shooting in 12 minutes. Gibson was a minus-26 in the box score. An off night that was balanced by Saric’s strong game.

Rob Lowe and wife, Sheryl Berkoff sure know how to keep the spark after 27 years of marriage! The actor, 55, and the makeup artist turned jewelry designer, 57, looked more in love than ever while on the red carpet at the 59th annual Monte Carlo TV Festival on Tuesday. Rob kept his arm around Sheryl as they stared at one another with matching smiles.
Meanwhile, Rob looked handsome in a navy blue tuxedo with a black bowtie and matching collar. His white undershirt was a bright pop of color under his dark jacket. He kept his salt and pepper beard tamed with just a little bit of scruff for the paparazzi. See the couple’s full looks, below!

Rob and Sheryl have quite the love story. They met on what he’s said in past interviews was a “half blind” date back in 1983. They continued to briefly see each other after their first meeting, but nothing too serious came of the few dates they went on. That was because both Rob and Sheryl weren’t exactly ready for relationships at the time.
Fast-forward about seven years later and Rob and Sheryl would end up reuniting again, simply by chance. Sheryl ended up becoming Rob’s makeup artist on the set of his 1990 thriller, Bad Influence. And, the rest was pretty much history. The pair wed not long after their reunion on July 22, 1991.
Yes, their marriage has had its ups and downs — with Rob’s alcoholism and sex tape scandal — but, they survived the hardships. Now, Rob is 29 years sober. The couple shares sons Matthew, 26, and John, 24, together.

Like many other artists, Kanye West has had his own shares of trials and tribulations throughout his career. And, with its manifestations over the years and its recent turnover, the “Life of Pablo” rapper might just be gearing up for a comeback with his “Sunday Service.”
West has been holding these Sunday morning services since earlier this year, with a solid gospel choir performing new renditions of his songs. Up until now, these performances were only seen online, with only his closest friends seeing the performances up close and personal. But on Easter Sunday, West decided to share his gift to the world live.
The 41-year-old rapper’s “Sunday Service” was announced after he dropped out of headlining Coachella because the festival refused to make him a custom dome. In its stead, he gathered his band of singers and musicians atop a small hill to sing and praise in the name of the Lord and music.
The powerful three-hour set list consists of West’s hits perfectly molding together into a symphony of sound and grace, turning his songs into powerful gospels. Listening to it, it is as if they were songs about joy and praise in the first place. The set was invigorating and humbling at the same time. No longer do you see the haughty West of recent time, but a humble one, resigning himself in the music, and in God.
West even debuted a new song entitled “Water” in his 3-hour long set list. Watch a portion of the song. The song comes off as something reverent as if asking for repentance and cleansing.
Joined by collaborator Ant Clemons and Ty Dolla $ign, West sang:
We are water
Clean us like the rain in spring
Take the chlorine out of conversation
Finally, he rose and smiled at the camera, pausing for several long moments before the band played a medley of gospel and soul covers and the dancers filed off of the hill.

Today Athletics Canada nominated 38 athletes to the Canadian Paralympic Committee for nomination to the 2015 Parapan Am Games. The Parapan Am Games take place August 7 to 15, athletics competition is slated August 10 to 14. Athletics Canada’s nominations are not final until the Canadian Paralympic Committee’s approval.
“The 2015 Parapan Am Games are a great opportunity for Canadian para-athletics to be showcased on home turf. The team is comprised of our best athletes, with medal performances our number one objective,” said Head Coach Carla Nicholls. “We are using these Games as a launch pad for the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) World Championships held in Qatar in the fall.”
The team is led by a number of veteran athletes looking to repeat previous international successes. Brent Lakatos from Dorval, Que., won three gold medals at the 2013 IPC Championships and holds the world record in the T53 classification wheelchair 100-metres. Lakatos also earned three podiums at the 2012 Paralympic Games. Lakatos holds the Canadian records in the 100-metres, 200-metres, 400-metres and 1500-metres.
At the 2013 IPC World Championships Michelle Stilwell of Nanoose Bay, B.C., won triple gold (100m, 200m and 800m), and at the 2012 Paralympic Games she won gold in the 200-metres and silver in the 100-metres. In 2011, at the IPC World Championships, she won four medals, and took home three from the 2008 Paralympic Games.
Jason Dunkerley of Ottawa, Ont., won a pair of medals at the 2012 Paralympic Games and holds the Canadian record in the T11 visually impaired 800-metres, 1500-metres and 5000-metres.
Becky Richter is the world record holder in the T51 wheelchair 100-metres. At the 2013 IPC World Championships she won silver in the club throw and discus throw.
“It’s great to see the mix of veterans and newcomers on the para-athletics team,” said Chef de Mission Elisabeth Walker-Young. “This will bring a great energy to Team Canada and will definitely impact our performances in Toronto and pace the way for great Games.”
“As excitement grows for the Toronto 2015 Parapan Am Games, I would like to congratulate all of the athletes named today to the Canadian Athletics Team. I join all Canadians in wishing you the best as you focus your final preparations to find those important seconds and inches to strive for the podium in Toronto during the Year of Sport in Canada,” said The Honourable Bal Gosal, Minister of State (Sport)
Toronto 2015 Pan/Parapan Am Games tickets are currently on sale. The Parapan athletics competition will take place at the CIBC Pan Am/Parapan Am Athletics Stadium. Tickets are available online at TORONTO2015.org/tickets.

I have an image on top of an image. The image on top has a visibility to only show when certain conditions apply. I have the SAME thing on another piece of the app with NO ISSUES. But this part I have a display issue.
When the user has the condition to NOT see the image on top, this is what happens, it just looks weird. I’ve tried adding retangles, alignment in corners, etc. Nothing is working.
How do I get the top image to not mess with alignment / sizing, etc?
The squeezed ones are suppose to look like the top two. These are different lists, so the bottom list has a “locked” image but is causing display issues. Any workarounds?
This is suppose to look like this, but WITHOUT the locks. So somehow the lock image is causing display issues and we spent over an hour trying everything. Any workaround would be greatly appreciated please.
@James_App_Maker wanted to ping you to see if you knew anything on this. Basically if i put an image on top of my list (within the list components) then it breaks. If nothing is on top of the list, then it all works. My confusion is beyond measured now. lol. It’s only doing it when a visibility is attached to the image. If i removed the visibility it works/displays fine.
Have you tried deleting the image group and re-adding it?
yep. Tried groups, even groups on groups. lol.
I can build a long workaround, but I’d prefer an image on top of an image if that’s possible. I haven’t tried placing it below the image. will test.
I’ll figure something out. Thanks for any input. Might just build a simple design and then use the lock image on top of it instead.
It was just a fluke on what happened. I cloned the app and rebuilt it to see if i get the same error, nope, perfect.
Now hopefully it works on the live build. lol. Either way I have a cool workaround if anyways.

MyFresh, which has a site in Empire Way, has entered a 30-day employee consultation period concerning the future of the factory, which processes most of the company’s potatoes, carrots and swede.
And managing director Nick Gale this week confirmed the view is to close the Gretna operation.
He said: “The decision to propose the process of closing the site has not been taken lightly and is not a reflection of the performance on our colleagues in Gretna.
“Sadly the continuing decline in sales and the accelerated reduction in chilled food manufactured in Southern Scotland and in Northern England means the operation here has become economically unviable.”
He added: “The potential closure would result in the loss of up to 60 jobs and we are working closely with our colleagues at Gretna as we appreciate the difficult situation this causes them.
“We will of course continue to communicate with our colleagues, suppliers and customers once we are in a position to share further information.”

Cashew nut drying machine:
Using a dryer to dry the cashew nut can save drying time which is very popular all over the world in recent years. While the cashew nut dryer from Gongyi Lantian Machanical Plant will be the best choice to dry cashew nut and make snacks. The heating device will absorb heat from the air, or recover the residual heat in the drying process, and then transfer this heat and energy to drying chamber through compressor power. The hot air in the chamber, after being heated repeatedly, will absorb the moisture in the cashew nuts, and take out these moisture out under its cooling humidification and through the process of hot wind removing moisture or condensation removing moisture. And finally realize the drying cashew nuts continuously. And when drying, the Max temperature will be 85 Celsius Degree.
1. Automatic PLC controlling system.
2. High controlling precision of temperature and humidity.
3. Low energy consumption, and low operation cost.
4. Safe, no overheating or burning dangerous when drying process.

How to Make a Stained Glass Butterfly
How to Make a Stained Glass Butterfly
If you're new to the world of stained glass or wonder how a stained glass suncatcher is made, read below to learn how to easily make one yourself!
What You'll Need
- One or two pieces of glass, depending on the colors you want for the butterfly
- Copper foil
- Neutralizer orKwik-Clean Flux and Patina cleaner
- Steel Wool
- Fishing wire
- Glass cutter
- Breaker/Grozer Pliers
- Running pliers
- Glass grinder
- Soldering iron
- Colored Sharpie or marker
- Popsicle stick or tongue depressor
- Wire cutters
- Small paintbrush
1. Start With the Pattern
You will want to have two copies of your pattern.
- The first pattern is for cutting out each pattern piece. You will be laying these pieces on the glass to trace around.
- The second pattern is for laying on your cut pieces of glass to make sure that they're the correct size. This will be helpful when you use the glass grinder.
2. Score the Glass
The video below shows you the proper way to score glass. The instructor didn't trace the pattern onto the glass but instead taped the pattern pieces onto the glass.
You will want to score the glass on the outer edges of your traced marker lines. This will make it easier when you take your piece to grind it. You will be able to see exactly how much glass needs to be ground off.
3. Trace the Pattern
Place all four pattern pieces onto the glass in the direction you'd like the butterfly to appear. With a marker trace around each piece. You will want to leave enough room around each piece so that you can easily cut the glass.
- Some people find it helpful to tape the pattern pieces to the glass, but this is not necessary so long as you can hold the piece of paper still while tracing.
- When working on larger patterns with many different pieces, it is helpful to either number or name them.
Next, score and break apart each piece to make it easier to cut each individual shape. With your cutter, score up the center of the large piece of glass, then across the center again. Do this once more so that you end up with four pieces ready to cut out the shapes.
- To break the pieces, you will need to use your running pliers.
4. Grind the Glass
If the cut glass is exactly the shape of the pattern piece and has smooth edges, there's no reason to grind it down.
- When using a grinder, you should always wear safety glasses or have a grinder shield attached to the grinder. Glass dust flies around, and you always want to protect your eyes.
Hold the piece of glass with your thumbs and forefingers tightly enough so that the piece does not fly when touched to the grinder wheel. Follow along with the maker lines. You may have to check the piece several times to get it exactly the shape that you want.
5. Add Copper Foil
Before you start to foil, it is important that you wash the glass pieces in hot soapy water to make sure that they are clean and free of dust. This will make the foil stick easier.
Copper foil has a shiny side and a sticky side. From the roll, peel back about 1/2" an inch of the paper. Apply evenly starting in the center of one side of the glass going around the entire edge of the piece until it meets up with the starting point.
Tear the copper foil. With a tongue depressor or Popsicle stick press the copper foil down onto the glass making it as smooth and as even as possible.
6. Solder the Pieces
Because we are making a butterfly and want it to look as if it is flying and not a flat piece, we need to prop it up at a bit of an angle while soldering it. This can be done with scrap pieces of glass or piled up Popsicle sticks. Plug in your soldering iron making sure that it is on its stand.
- To start, you will need to use a small paintbrush and apply flux to the copper foil. The flux is what adheres the lead to the copper foil.
- Once your iron is hot, hold the iron against the lead and apply the lead to the copper foil, to all seams. The front and back of the butterfly will need to be soldered. This can be a bit tricky and seem difficult at first, but the more pieces you solder the more proficient you will become.
- When all of your pieces are soldered together, apply flux to all the copper foil that is left on the edges of the butterfly. With a small touch of lead, (simply touch the iron to the lead) paint the lead with the iron onto the copper foil so that all the copper foil is covered in lead.
7. Wire the Antennas
Measure out a piece of wire double the length you want the antennas. Then, snip it and fold it in half. Rub the wire with steel wool, and then apply flux to it. On the back of the butterfly, lay the wire across the long seam and apply lead with the soldering iron.
8. Apply Patina and Do a Final Clean
If you want the solder to be black, you now need to apply patina to the solder. To do this, wear gloves because the patina will stain your skin. Apply a small amount of patina to a sponge and rub it over the solder. If wanting to leave the lead a silver color, all you will need to do is spray the butterfly and antennas with Kwick-Clean and rub it with a clean sponge. Rinse it with lukewarm water and dry. If you've applied patina, you will still need to do the Kwick-Clean step.
Once your piece is complete, tie fishing wire around the antennas. This will allow you to hang the butterfly. You're done!

A 71-year-old woman with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis was found to have a benign thymoma and impaired cellular immune response. She was anergic to common skin-test antigens and she could not be sensitized to fluorodinitrobenzene, but her lymphocytes did respond in a normal manner to phytohemagglutinin and Candida albicans antigen stimulation. It is believed that this represents an acquired, adult counterpart of the congenital childhood chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis syndrome. Treatment of her thymoma has not, thus far, improved her candidiasis.

My P3AT is my first, and so far only handgun. My dad had had a few fullsized autos and a revolver or two that I've shot alot over the years, but the keltec is my first experience with guns in its size range. Checked out several at the store, after hearing of the magazine release issues during looking into the guns I decided to check the releases and found of the three the store had, two of them had an excessivly sensitive release button. After finding a good solid mag release, I settled on the one I bought. I did do a minor fluff and buff before shooting. I polished the feed ramp, and did a little light work on where the rail slides across the hammer, and took off a few sharp edges on the grip. I expected some jams in the first few shots, but suprizingly in the 200 or so rounds through the gun so far, I only recall one FTE, which I am pretty sure was from limpwristing. From the start I was amazed at the accuracy of the gun. I was very suprized with the groups i was able to get even out of the first couple shots. I usually cant shoot very well with our stubnose hammerless revolver. I figured the DA triggers and short sight radius in common would mean similar accuracywith the two, but not even close. Alot of people talk about guns like these being painful to shoot, but personally I dont find it to be that uncomfortable. Upgrade wise the first thing I did, after my first time shooting it was paint the sights. The sights on these guns are sad, but a little orange model car paint with a white dot in the center (on all three sight posts) has done wonders. I have sense went back and did a little more work on the internal polishing, after shooting enough to see the wear marks on the parts to see what was rough etc. Today I got a hogue handall jr and the keltec grip extension. I have both installed, but sadly it was dark before I got home so I wont get to shoot it until tomorrow. I'm already pretty sure the extension will need some work though. The hooked part on the bottom bugs me and I think I will probably cut it off at the bottom of the checkerboard part, making it more similar to the bursa extension. I'm pretty sure I saw a picture from someone on the board that had cut and ground down a keltec extension to make it a little more managable, andy help with a link to that would be great. I'll be sure to post my opinions of the new upgrades and pictures of all after I shoot tomorrow.

Exim Bank sells $750 mn bonds at 4%
Mumbai: Exim Bank on Tuesday set yet another benchmark in raising cheap debt from overseas investors by selling USD 750 million worth bonds through a European debt sale programme that was overbought by 8.5 times and at a coupon of 4 percent.
"The 10-year issue, the first from Exim Bank, has been a rocking success as it has been timed well. The pricing at 4.119 percent is the cheapest ever we have raised and is cheaper than the previous two 5-year issues this fiscal, as the India story got a major leg-up in the recent past from the finance ministry," Exim Bank Chairman and Managing Director T C A Ranganathan said on Tuesday.
Explaining the timing as the reason for cheap pricing, he said global liquidity improved since the resolution of the US fiscal cliff. Coupled with this, the bank got the benefit of being the first issuer from India in 2013.
Since traders were holidaying till last weekend, they lapped up the issue.
Ranganathan said there has been so much demand that the bank had to increase the issue size from the initial USD 500 million to USD 750 million, making it a benchmark issue.
The issue was oversubscribed 8.5 times, he said, adding this is part of the bank's European medium term note of USD 6 billion, of which it has raised USD 1.5 billion in FY13.
Asked about the rationale for a 10-year money (Exim Bank had in July raised USD 500 million five-year money end July and another USD 250 million in September), Ranganathan said, "I have lots of 10-year commitments. So, I have to keep long-term money. Also, 10-year issues get better pricing."
More than half of the money raised has been committed to a clutch of foreign governments and Indian firms, he said.
On the successful completion of the bond sale, Citi India, the book-runner to the issue along with StanChart, said: "The price tightening of 40 bps from initial guidance (of 260 bps) to final pricing, is primarily attributed to Exim Bank's strong credit and lineage, track record, remarkable market momentum and the highest quality order book.
"The notes are rated Baa3 by Moody's and BBB- by S&P," Citi India head of capital markets origination Rajiv Nayar said.
On the huge success of the issue, Nayar said, "Exim Bank's inaugural 10-year US dollar bond exceeded all expectations and priced inside their existing USD notes due 2017, representing a negative new issue concession.
"The 10-year tenor helped investors add duration to their portfolio which greatly contributed to the strength of the order book with participation from over 260 investors and the fine pricing reflects the level of investors' confidence in Exim Bank's credit, which also marks the first US dollar bond sale from the country this year."
StanChart India managing director for capital markets Jujhar Singh said the record low coupon of 4 percent achieved for this issue, pierced the secondary level of Exim's own bonds maturing in 2017, and should help establish a new tight benchmark for other Indian issuers.
"The bonds have tightened in the secondary market by 5 bps and should result in further tightening of other outstanding Indian bonds (for NTPC, SBI, ICICI, and others) and should benefit other issuers who consider issuing USD bonds in the coming weeks," Singh said.
This was the first European MTN (E-MTN) issue from the Exim Bank and is a dollar-denominated senior unsecured notes, Ranganathan said.
In an E-MTN programme, American investors cannot participate, while offshore US funds can take part.
The Exim Bank had also done global MTN or G-MTN issues in the past.
On the investor profile, the Citi official said at 76 percent, Asian investors were the large majority, followed by 22 percent from Europe, and the remaining two percent being offshore US investors.

Steve Harvey can finally laugh about his Miss Universe mishap — now that it has happened to someone else.
During Sunday night’s Academy Awards, actors Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway took the stage to present the award for Best Picture, but wounded up announcing the wrong winner and creating one of the biggest Oscar blunders of all time. Dunaway awarded La La Land the Oscar, but the trophy should have gone to Moonlight instead.
Harvey, who famously announced the wrong winner of the Miss Universe pageant back in 2015, could totally relate to the public gaffe. The comedian and host jokingly took to Twitter to make light of the incident, tweeting:
Although it was Faye Dunaway and not Warren Beatty who announced the wrong winner, producers say it was neither of their fault, as they were handed the wrong card.

text: Can’t touch this: stay away from stray, wild animals Published Jan. 27, 2020 By Staff Sgt. Joshua Magbanua 39th Air Base Wing Public Affairs INCIRLIK AIR BASE, Turkey -- Rabies is a virus nightmares are made of. It is also a real-world threat members of Incirlik Air Base face whenever they come across the many stray and wild mammals which roam the community. Imagine being infected with a lethal virus which attacks your nervous system and destroys your brain. First, you are bitten, scratched or licked by an infected creature which transmits the virus into your system. The virus then incubates within you, waiting for its moment to strike. After a period of time, you are down with a sickness. You think it’s just a fever, but it’s actually the virus beginning its hostile takeover of your body. Before you know it, your cognitive functions disintegrate. You become violent, irrational and psychotic—you have literally lost your mind. Then the virus inflicts its death blow: you are struck by paralysis, descend into a coma and fade away into the depths of death. This isn’t a Hollywood horror. This is a real disease which makes vampire novels look like children’s fairy tales in comparison. Rabies is a reality faced by those who ignore public health warnings and interact with infected mammals. Thankfully, medical professionals at Incirlik are here to educate their community about the dangers of this fatal disease. “The virus is endemic in many areas of Turkey, with dogs being the principal reservoir and vector, bringing humans into contact with the virus,” said U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Heather Johnson, 39th Medical Group non-commissioned officer in charge of communicable disease. “The presence of the disease in dogs and—in some areas—wildlife, represents a continuing threat to public health.” Johnson and her colleagues conduct medical briefings for U.S. military and civilian personnel upon their arrival to Incirlik. They warn their audience to stay away from stray and wild animals—no matter how cute and cuddly these animals may appear. The most common stray animals found on the installation are cats and dogs. Wild mammals include rabbits, foxes, hedgehogs and bats. U.S. Army Capt. Timothy Beck, chief of Incirlik Veterinary Services, discouraged members of the community from interacting with these animals because of the potential diseases they carry. He also clarified animals do not need to show symptoms of disease, rabies or otherwise, to be able to transmit viruses. “A common misconception is that animals infected with rabies virus ‘look rabid,’” he said. “Animals infected with rabies virus can spread the virus to humans and other animals prior to showing clinical signs of illness. In addition to rabies, there are many other infectious diseases that can be spread from stray animals to humans. These diseases can be anything from severe wound infections to parasite infections. Rabies virus has a 100 percent mortality rate if left untreated,” Beck continued. “This is why it is important to refrain from interacting with apparently healthy stray dogs and cats and seek immediate medical treatment if you have been scratched or bitten.” Beck’s veterinary treatment facility works with the 39th Medical Group and 39th Civil Engineer Squadron to combat the proliferation of rabies and other animal-borne diseases at Incirlik. 39th CES personnel bring captured stray animals they believe are ill or injured to the VTF. While under the care of the VTF, Beck and his team monitor the animals for any signs of diseases which may impact the community. According to the Center for Disease Control, rabies causes approximately 59,000 deaths around the world each year. The fatality rate is extremely high, with only less than 20 human cases of survival. The CDC published a report in 2011 describing the case of an Army Soldier who displayed symptoms of rabies while transiting to a new duty assignment. The Soldier was hospitalized, and died in August of that year after being removed from life support. An investigation revealed the Soldier was bitten by a feral dog while on deployment, with no records of treatment being found. Johnson described the effects of rabies, adding it can take a few days to several months before symptoms appear. “It is 100 percent fatal,” she said. “The illness is characterized by fever and pain or a tingling sensation at the wound site. As a result of inflammation to the brain and spinal cord, some patients present with anxiety, hyperactivity, convulsion and delirium. In other patients, muscles become paralyzed followed by a coma. Once symptoms are present, most patients die within one or two weeks. Johnson listed procedures to take if a person suspects he or she has been exposed to rabies. These actions must be taken immediately after contact with the animal, she added. “Try to take note of the type of animal, its color and size,” she said. “Immediately wash animal bite or scratches with soap and water. Please visit the clinic as soon as possible to be seen by a provider to determine need for post exposure prophylaxis and be diligent with subsequent follow-up vaccinations. “Do not feed the animals,” Johnson continued. “Although you may not be petting them, they will continue to return because they have found a food source, which only increases the risk of a possible exposure.” Although rabies is one of the most lethal diseases, it is also one of the most preventable as well. The first step people can take to protect themselves from this nightmare disease is simple: just stay away from the filthy animals.

The radiator mounted behind the grille on the core support of a Toyota T100 pickup is responsible for exchanging the heat from the engine coolant the circulates between the engine and the radiator. Hot coolant flows into the top of the aluminum radiator and spreads into thin tubes surrounded by tiny fins. As the coolant flows across the radiator, the aluminum absorbs the heat. Then air passing through the fins takes away the heat from the aluminum. Your T100's radiator can get damaged in an accident or just corrode from the inside out because of rust. When the radiator starts to have problems, you'll need to repair or replace it. You should remove it completely so it can be professionally repaired or replaced entirely. Removing a T100 radiator should take about 45 minutes to do.
Things You'll Need
- Drain pan
- Phillips-head screwdriver
- Line wrench set
- Flat-head screwdriver
- 3/8-inch ratchet and socket set
Allow the T100's engine to cool enough that you can place your palm flat on the radiator cap without burning your hand. Pop the hood. Remove the corner lenses using the Phillips-head screwdriver, and twist out the bulb using your hands. Remove the grille with the Phillips-head screwdriver.
Put the drain pan below the radiator. Open the petcock on the radiator using your hands and let the coolant empty into the pan. Remove the upper radiator hose clamp with the flat-head screwdriver and pull the line off the radiator. Repeat on the lower radiator hose.
Unbolt the fan shroud from the core support using the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket. Remove the oil cooler lines on the radiator with a line wrench if you have a T100 with an automatic transmission.
Unbolt the radiator from the core support using the 3/8-inch ratchet and socket. Pull it up and out of the core support with both hands.

My art room is filled with giant Nutcracker drawings right now, waiting to be lined up in our auditorium for our upcoming holiday show. I took a que from my Harvest festival decorations on butcher paper sketched one master nutcracker and have been tracing him in pencil for days. The kids love to trace and color with three students working on each one. I’ve kept it for 2nd through 5th graders as my experiences were that any younger ones tended to get a bit too scribbly for this job.
• White Kraft Paper, 36″ wide, such as this Pacon brand
• Black marker, thick chisel tip
1. Cut a sheet of white kraft paper 60“ long.
2. Fold the sheet in half lengthwise and cut on fold to make a panel that is 18” x 60”.
3. Fold this new sheet in half lengthwise. Fold it in half three times, the long way and crease edges. Unfold so that you end up with a grid that is 2 panels wide by 8 panels tall.
4. Sketch the nutcracker according to the diagram. The fold lines will help you make a well proportioned figure.
5. Trace the drawing with a marker and color heavily with crayons.
