"I said, 'John, you take the car,'" Al said. "I did some work on it and got it prepared a little bit. But he is a perfectionist. The next thing I know the car is in a 100 pieces. He said, 'We have to do this right.'"
Al knew then his 1966 Mercedes was going to get more than a paint job. He gave his son the freedom to do whatever was necessary to make the car look new.
During the process, John, an A-10 Thunderbolt pilot, had to put the project on hold. He had to serve another tour of duty in Afghanistan.
Al knows all about military life. In fact, it was during his time in the Navy that the seeds of one day purchasing a 1960s-era Mercedes first took root.
While in the Navy, Al worked on cars while on his ship. When he was back in the United States, he occasionally went to Reno on the weekends and gambled.
One time, his lieutenant offered Al his brand new 1960 Mercedes SL 190. It was a car that the lieutenant bought in Hong Kong and brought back to the United States.
When Al got behind the wheel and drove it to Reno, it only had 365 miles on it. Unfortunately, when Al was driving it back to the base, he hit a patch of ice and ended up in the hospital. The car was totaled.
The lieutenant was happy that Al survived and wasn't worried about the car.
"As years went by, I ended up working for Mercedes for 23 years," Al said. "After I retired, I really liked to have a car like the one I wrecked. I couldn't find any because the 190s I saw were in pretty bad shape and not repairable."
The 1966 Mercedes that Al bought was fixable.
John eventually returned home and went back to work on the Mercedes, slowly transforming it from white to red.
"In all it took him about eight months to finish the car," Al said. "When it was finished, it was beautiful."
Al took it home to Bella Vista in early 2013. A few months later, he replaced the tan upholstery with the white and red upholstery. The 1966 Mercedes was now car-show ready.
"The first show we took it to was a foreign car show, and we got first place in that," Al said. "We started taking it local shows and pretty much won a trophy at every show we entered."
In the last two years, Al and Mary have lived in Warrensburg, Mo. They appreciate all the help they have had with their 1966 Mercedes.
Last fall the Mercedes was having some engine trouble, and Al knew exactly where to go to have it fixed. He talked with Roger Shuler, owner of Shuler Autohaus in Fayetteville, Ark., about it, and Shuler drove 250 miles to Warrensburg and had the car towed to his shop.
The major problem was the fuel pump, but Al had Shuler fix everything while he had the car.
"He fixed all the other minor things, and two weeks ago he brought it back," Al said. "It is in perfect shape now. We took it to Sedalia the other day. It is perfect. Mary said it was as smooth as her new Mercedes."
Mary owns a 2014 Mercedes SLK. She said people ask them why they buy Mercedes.
"Our answer for that is as long as they send him a pension check, we are going to buy them," Mary said.
Plus, Al has a history with Mercedes that endears him to the brand.

Are you searching for natural ways to calm your racing mind?
Do you have debilitating panic attacks when you least expect it?
Essential oils for panic attacks and anxiety could be the solution you've been looking for.
Whether you're struggling with insomnia, intrusive thoughts, or general stress, there are many essential oils for panic attacks and anxiety that may help you feel more at ease, get better sleep, and help you accomplish more in your day.
The best essential oils for anxiety include lavender, frankincense, cedarwood, vetiver, and patchouli. An expert blend of these oils can help calm the mind and makes you more focused and productive. You can also use Guru Nanda oils during meditation to harmonize the mind and body.
Our Calm Mind Roll-On Essential Oil Blend is such a big help for those racing moments for me. Inhaling the combination of relaxing essential oils helps me calm my mind and maintain balance and focus.
When I am feeling balanced and focused, I feel more at ease and more productive throughout my day thanks to these essential oils for anxiety.
What Triggers Cause Panic Attacks and Anxiety?
Exposure to stress on a long-term basis can contribute to the development of anxiety disorders, including panic disorder. Traumatic life events can ignite these conditions.
For example, being involved in a mugging, being involved in an accident, life-threatening experiences or suffering the loss of a loved one.
Perhaps the most useful thing to understand about anxiety is that it can often come from unexpected sources and affect different people in different ways.
Therefore, there is no "cure all" for anxiety. Everyone has different needs, and different strategies work for different people.
The truth about dealing with anxiety and panic attacks is that most people go through a lot of trial and error before they are able to properly deal with the symptoms.
However, whether you struggle with seasonal anxiety or daily anxiety, please do something about it.
Living with anxiety is a nightmare through and through, and for some people, it impacts their lives in such a manner that it cripples their ability to go about their daily lives. Generalized anxiety disorder is exceedingly difficult to live with as it can often arise for no clear reason, similar to seasonal anxiety.
A person might just be sitting in class, working a job or even trying to relax, yet their mind might stress about minor details involving friends, family, money, and personal health.
Anxiety takes a toll not only mentally, but it can also manifest itself physically in various ways including panic attacks, loss of appetite, muscle tension, sweating, headaches, and excessive lethargy.
If left unchecked, anxiety can escalate to depression, paranoia, and even lead to other mental issues such as psychosis. While severe cases of anxiety may require the use of medication and therapy, holistic methods such as meditation and aromatherapy can provide support.
Essential oils have been used for the treatment of various ailments of the body for thousands of years, and when used as part of aromatherapy, they can also significantly alleviate the anxiety that a person feels on a day to day basis.
Why Use Essential Oils for Anxiety?
Essential oils have commonly been used in home remedies and beauty applications, but they can also provide a host of different benefits that help relieve anxiety.
Studies have demonstrated that essential oils for anxiety can work in conjunction with your body in a number of different ways to help manage and control the occurrence of anxiety.
One study showcased the benefits of using aromatherapy in conjunction with other modes of relaxation such as meditation or massages. The results have been positive as they demonstrated that aromatherapy plays a larger role in alleviating anxiety.
Moreover, the same study highlighted how essential oils for anxiety impacted the nervous system and the brain chemistry of individuals. The changes brought about by the use of essential oils to control anxiety were more pronounced and occurred in a more positive manner as compared to the changes in the anxiety levels brought about by the use of conventional drugs for the nervous system.
Another interesting fact to note here is that essential oils for anxiety can improve the relationship between your brain and the limbic system that is responsible for controlling the memories and emotions in your brain. Positive smells incur a happier response from the brain as they not only trigger more joyful memories, they tap into the chemical receptors of the brain. The essential oil you use can then boost the production of these chemicals and make a positive impact on the physical and mental health of a person.
With such concrete research regarding the use of essential oils, it has become clear that anyone who suffers from anxiety could benefit from them. The best part is that essential oils are safe for use, and while they don't promise to be the solution to anxiety, they can help provide relief, especially after a long and trying day.
Sit in a quiet place, apply Guru Nanda Calm Mind Essential Oil Roll-On Blend to your wrist and pulse points. Then, rub your wrists together and inhale three nice, deep breaths.
With your spine straight, close your eyes and focus on your breath. Take a few longer inhales. As you inhale, concentrate on filling your lungs to the maximum capacity and when you exhale, concentrate on emptying your lungs all the way.
Do this at a nice slow pace.
As you continue to inhale, bring your awareness to the relaxing aroma of Guru Nanda Calm Mind Essential Oil Roll-On Blend. After you feel your body and mind in harmony again, take a nice, long, deep inhale of Calm Mind.
Return your mind to the present and get on with your day. Repeat as often as you like.
Another great way that I like to use Guru Nanda Calm Mind Essential Oil Roll-On Blend is to pop off the roller ball and put 6 drops of oil on my dryer ball when I am drying my bed sheets. The scent of these essential oils for anxiety is so wonderful as I pull the sheets out of the dryer!
When it's time to go to sleep and I have that race going through my head again, I do this meditation and focus on my breath and breathe in the relaxing and balancing aroma of the Guru Nanda Calm Mind Essential Oil Roll-On Blend.
No more racing thoughts, just a nice peaceful way to drift to sleep.

Sound Money and the Ring of Truth
by: Guy Christopher
We Americans no longer carry gold and silver money in our pockets and purses as our grandparents did during their lives. But we still carry the history, legacy and spirit of those gold and silver coins in our language – with more meaning than you might imagine.
"Sound money" has a clear message recognized for centuries around the world. It describes the musical, metallic ring of a gold, silver, or copper coin dropped on any hard surface of glass, stone, wood, or metal. Sound money literally refers to real wealth, with a natural, unmistakable signature of honesty and integrity, as opposed to the swishy paper and plastic debt used almost exclusively today.
The term "sound money" is believed to come from Ancient Rome, where small silver coins were standard in everyday commerce, for paying Roman soldiers to buying exotic goods from all corners of the known world. As Rome squandered its wealth, it found what seemed an easy shortcut to shore up the treasury. It gradually debased those silver coins with common metals, ultimately cutting the silver content to just 5 percent.
But that didn't fool anyone for long, most of all disciplined Roman soldiers, who did not appreciate being paid with worthless mystery metal in return for risking their lives on Rome's bloody battlefields.
Do You Want True Money or a Debased Dud?
Not every Roman soldier had room in his gear for a touchstone, usually fieldstone or slate, also used to test the purity of metals. But they quickly discovered the difference in the sound of true money and a debased dud.
They recognized that real silver had a distinctive melodious ring when bounced on a hard surface, such as the blade of a handy sword, a bronze breastplate, or an ornate marble floor. Sound money carried the 'ring of truth,' while debased coinage landed with a dull, disappointing thud.
The debasement of Rome's silver currency unmasked the deceit of a bankrupt empire, which ended with the fall of Rome, a pattern repeated many times. Sound money's "ring of truth" had found its place in the history of money and of nations.
As the United States grew westward to the Pacific Coast and north to Alaska, gold, silver and copper coins of all nations were legal tender in the young United States until the 1850s, and were in use even long after that. Americans with no formal education in reading, writing and arithmetic relied on the sight, sound, and feel of the only money they knew. Learning the different musical ringing sounds of those coins could easily qualify even a prairie settler fresh off the wagon train as an economic expert.
In the Old West of the range roving American cowboy, the ring from that silver dollar tossed on the bar of polished oak told the saloon keeper he was pouring whiskey for sound money, and not for a counterfeit forgery.
The sound money test unmasked one of the most famous counterfeiting schemes in American coinage history. The Liberty Nickel (1883-1913) was originally struck without the words "Five Cents," bearing instead only the Roman numeral "V." Gold plated Liberty Nickels were passed off as a newly designed $5 gold piece, but the sound money test quickly identified the scandal. Within six months of issuing the first "V" nickels, the U.S. Mint added the words "Five Cents." But for the next many years, every Liberty $5 Half Eagle in town was tested for its ring of truth.
Sound money means simplicity, honesty, and trustworthy recognition. It stands for strength and durability which were also characteristics of those pioneering Americans who built our nation.
The ring of sound money for centuries has transcended borders and nationalities by singing its own melodic language. No matter what words were stamped into a precious metal coin, that ring of sound money certified its value, or exposed the deception.
Governments Have Distorted the Meaning of Money
"Sound money" carries such a powerful message there's little wonder that governments issuing paper fiat currency have attempted to corrupt its meaning, with help from unimaginative and lazy educators and journalists.
"Hard currency" first referred to metal coins, not paper money, but the term over the years has come to mean that flimsy, paper, folding cash is more trustworthy than a handwritten check or IOU.
"Good as gold" is another aberration of "sound money," usually referring to credit worthiness, even though there is no credit as good as gold.
When Washington and Wall Street began pushing plastic credit cards, which are nothing more than debt disguised as wealth, Americans were introduced to the gold card along with the credit rating and FICO score as a false measure of one's financial worth. Today, the newest edition of the $100 Federal Reserve note carries a golden inkwell and feather pen, as if to sarcastically say money itself is a masquerade of paper script and not precious metal.
Americans today have no memory of those times when gold, silver, and copper coins were tossed across a store counter, or counted out by hand, to pay for everything from penny candies to Ford Model-T automobiles. That era began ending when President Roosevelt in 1933 outlawed the use of gold coins in everyday American commerce.
The separation of Americans from their Constitutional heritage to true money continued through 1964, with the end of small coinage, junk silver coins, that contained 90% silver. The deception was complete by 1982 when copper quietly disappeared from the Lincoln penny.
But no government could remove the ringing echo of sound money from history, or from us. And government cannot camouflage its counterfeits with gold colored paint. You can experience sound money's evident ring of truth for yourself. Toss any gold or silver coin on your kitchen table and you will hear the history of honest money ringing down through the centuries.
And perhaps, thanks to grassroots projects like the Sound Money Defense League, you will hear the trumpeting of better days to come.

Book of Love: Susan Ottaviano (Lead Vocals), Ted Ottaviano (Songwriter/Keyboards/Vocals), Lauren Roselli (Keyboards/Vocals) and Jade Lee (Keyboards/Vocals) were part of the Sire/Warner Group from 1984 – 1993. They recorded four studio albums: BOOK OF LOVE, LULLABY, CANDY CAROL and LOVEBUBBLE.
Though the quartet – disbanded in 1993, they have regrouped to record several new tracks and re-mixes. This collection is the perfect compilation of the enduring dance and pop hits from their four albums. The collection also features new songs "Getting Faster", "Try" and Bonus Track "It's In Your Eyes" one of the first songs ever written by the group, but never recorded until now.
Friends since high school, Ted and Susan (who share the same last name but are not related) initially worked with Susan's Philadelphia College of Art classmate Jade Lee in a band called Head Cheese in the early 80s. In 1984 Ted recruited fellow School Of Visual Arts friend Lauren Roselli and a quick chain of events secured Book of Love its breakthrough. It was Roselli who got a copy of "Boy" to DJ Ivan Ivan who himself had just scored a dance hit with "The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight" and was looking for new projects. Ivan then passed it along to Seymour Stein, head of Sire Records. "When Ivan played Seymour the demo of 'Boy'," says Ted, "he went, 'That's the One I want.' " " Boy", anchored by pulsating keyboards, infectious hooks and a deadpan delivery told the tale of a girl who wanted to be where the boys are but is "not allowed". An underground smash in NYC, this one track had secured the unknown group a recording contract and a support slot that introduced them to America.
They continued to produce a steady string of influential club hits. "I Touch Roses", released in 1985 would eventually chart as a #1 dance single. On the self-titled 1986 album it featured not only the dance staples "Boy" and "I Touch Roses" but the dreamy "Modigliani (Lost In Your Eyes)" which also charted on the Top Ten and the ebullient "You Make Me Feel So Good", Book of Loves' first CHR radio hit. The bands warmth and vibrancy was obvious with Susan's seductive vocals and Ted's ethereal production work. Sticking to their art school backgrounds and post punk aesthetic, the album was a perfect pastiche of colors and flavors mixed with accessible pop sensibilities.
After a two-year opening slot for Depeche Mode as well as headlining their own tour, their second album, LULLABY was released. The first two tracks kicked open the door with the chart topping remix of Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells (Theme from The Exorcist)" and the socially conscious "Pretty Boys & Pretty Girls" which was also a crossover on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles charts. The song became one of the earliest to address a new disease that was beginning to devastate NYC. "We talked about AIDS at a time when people were not talking about it," Susan says.

Great for functions at schools and mosques.
Impulse Purchased = Great Decision!
I bought these on impulse since I happened to be buying other products, and I thought these might be nice for when people came over for iftar. I bought 5 of them. So far I've only needed to use one! The tablecoth looks really nice, and it's a fun change from the regular runners I use. The plastic is nice and durable (not super thin). I would definitely recommend this. My daughter was so excited to help me put it out.

Landscaping isn't for the faint of heart and it certainly isn't a one-time task. Many homeowners assume they can plant a few flowers and lay a bit of sod and have themselves a pretty yard. However, this seemingly simply task involves soil testing to find the plants that will grow the most successfully in your local environmental conditions. It also involves regular maintenance such as watering, pruning, weeding, and mowing among other tasks. Trying to undertake the design and care of your yard all by yourself can be overwhelming. Additionally, without the proper tools and experience, tasks such as installing sprinklers and watering systems can be difficult and unsuccessful. At Lawn & Snow Landscape Complete LLC we take over all of this work and are a trusted landscaping contractor.
Long-term landscape planning will not only help your home look as good as it possibly can, it can also help minimize expenses in the future. Trees and plants grow a lot faster than the average Minneapolis homeowner's landscape budget. Understanding how the landscape will look in ten years from now will ensure that you are maximizing the initial design while guaranteeing you won't be taking out a bank loan to re-landscape your property all over again.
Here are six tips for long-term landscaping that could potentially save you a ton of money.
You may have an idea of what you want to do with your property. However, an idea can only take you so far. A vision, on the other hand, can take you a long way. Having a vision means you are open to questioning your ideas and pushing it beyond its current scope. Being able to see past short-term goals for how it will look as a whole is important for a successful, lasting landscape design.
Planting a young bush or tree in a small area may look nice now, but what will happen when it reaches maturity? Will it cause problems by overcrowding the landscape or spread disease once it's fully grown? Being prepared is half the battle.
Only the strong survive in landscape design. Plants and trees compete for water, sunlight and nutrients. Though they may not have to compete when the design is first implemented, as they grow, a canopy can spread. Anticipating growth and how sun and shade is proportioned over your new garden will ensure that you're not pulling up dead flower beds in the near future.
Predicting weather patterns has been an incredibly challenging and frustrating task since the beginning of time. Nowadays, it's more complicated than ever thanks to our changing climate and Mother Nature's natural mood swings. We recommend finding a solid balance of plants that are both durable and adaptable to any weather so that the plan doesn't get abandoned after the first dry summer or harsh winter.
For any long-term landscape plan to stick, it is incredibly important for homeowners to provide the necessary maintenance so that the design continues to thrive. Luckily, Land & Snow Landscape Complete has been providing Minneapolis homeowners with fully-customizable routine maintenance plans to ensure that the pride of their home doesn't decline.
Though no one can predict the future with 100% accuracy, it is worth considering how our world may change when selecting the materials for your plan. For example, it is almost certain that the world's water supply will continue to be an issue as populations continue to rise and the world gets warmer. So, planning around global change as much as possible will prevent any unforeseen obstacles that may arise when it comes time to maintain your long-term landscape.
It's very common for Minneapolis home and business owners to assume that their landscape only includes plants, trees, grass, garden beds and their placement across the property. And while this is definitely an essential part of every landscaping project, you can't let this opportunity to build something beautiful that compliments the landscape we have planned pass you by.
While it's important to favor the front to boost your home or business's curb appeal, you should also think about how you can upgrade your outdoor space so that you can actually enjoy it. As far as landscape construction is concerned, we can help you build something beautiful and curb appeal boosting that also serves a specific function.
When you add a stone or brick wall to your yard, you can help make it more level while designating specific areas for a certain purpose or just to add to the overall esthetic. Depending on your taste and what your budget allows, we can build these walls from either brick or stone.
If you want your outdoor space to be a place of relaxation, adding a water feature will create an instant air of tranquility. From koi ponds and waterfalls to a small pond, creating a backyard oasis is as simple as calling (612) 490-4500 and letting us know what you have in mind. We can make water features in all different shapes and sizes. Once we find the water feature that fits your budget and goals, we'll get started right away.
One way to make sure guests or clients take the time to explore the intricacies of your landscape's design and the incredible plant selection is to guide them through it with a walkway or path. Plus, with a designated route for people to explore, you minimize the risk of people straying away and accidentally trampling your flower beds.
From gazebos to pergolas, simply the best way to enjoy your brand-new landscape design or the regularly maintained existing one is by extending your living space to the outdoors. As some of the most trusted landscape construction professionals in the Minneapolis area, we are confident we can design and build an outdoor structure that is both welcoming and comfortable. Just let us know what your idea is and how much you are willing to spend and we'll get started on making it a reality.
One of the reasons Lawn & Snow Landscape Complete LLC continues to be one of the top choices for anyone requiring landscape construction services in the Minneapolis area is because we always respect your budget and make sure communication is open. We are too committed to customer satisfaction to let either of these values slide. So, if you are ready to work with us to improve the quality of your yard, get in touch with us today.

The new Scott-Clark SOCI II Indicator puts users in touch with battery operations.
We recognized a problem with charged batteries at the point of care that wasn't being addressed by local action or remote monitoring software.
SOCI II was designed to help users. Whatever the workflow of the mobile computing cart user, it will at some point be interrupted by a battery in need of charge. The State of the Art Charge Indicator includes software that makes the end users job simpler.
It measures the amount of charge remaining in the battery and gives the user a visual reference as to how much run-time they can expect.
Large, well-lit, graphics give the user a better visualization of the status of any battery in use.
In today's market many enterprises employ software that monitors all batteries remotely. The inherent problem in remote monitoring is that the person doing the monitoring isn't on-site. With SOCI II a unique interaction between battery and user occurs with the ability to receive up to the minute status reports directly from the battery.
Using simple codes and visual graphic interface, the SOCI II aids the user in allowing for a positive workflow through measuring and communicating power status. We are already working to increase the ability of the battery to communicate and help the user maintain an easy and positive interaction with their mobile computing cart.
The SOCI II is just one more example of how Scott-Clark is improving the mobile cart industry. Our goal is to provide a 100% positive user experience with their mobile computing cart and users have provided an overwhelmingly positive response to this new innovation.

Understanding a Shooting in TexasWilliam Heckman2022-09-07T20:53:51-05:00
Understanding a Shooting in Texas
By Robert B. (Scott) Kuhnen
*This is an article from the Summer/Fall 2022 issue of Combat Stress
I hope we can all agree that to really understand a shooting in Texas and be able to do something constructive about it, we should analyze all the facts.
As we examine the totality of the event, we should analyze the motives and the circumstances which allowed the shooter to perpetrate this heinous act. This refers specifically to the Uvalde Elementary School shooting on May 24th of this year.
For example, were there signs in the background of the shooter which might have tipped us off to what might happen and what we might do to prevent targets from being shot and killed? There usually are such clear indications. Might we agree that, while uncomfortable, numerous people surrounding the shooter might have been able to warn of the potential for a terrible incident? What were the clues we might have seen? Then, even if apparently obvious to some, would we all agree on how to interpret those clues? When and how do good people intercede?
We might agree that the first step in understanding any clues requires being dispassionate about our analysis. That is, not shade them through whatever lens we might choose to apply. Instead, we must keep the facts as clean and accurate as possible. Agree to remove biases.
Especially as we look back in hindsight, we should be able to separate fact from fiction or our own biases and prejudices to reach conclusions which all of us can support in order to help prevent future killings and to provide comfort and justice to the survivors.
As we analyze a shooting in Texas, might we agree on these ground rules and allow the facts to stand on their own to be used to help shape future actions (or inactions)? As recently shared by Matthew McConaughey, might we agree that surviving families would want their loved one's loss of life to matter?
If you agree with this premise…this set of ground rules…,could we agree that they should be applied to each and every such horrific incident?
This should be our commitment to all victims and their families and our communities… to apply these ground rules equally and consistently. Let us honestly assess and then move forward to make improvements which protect lives. We owe this to all of us.
A Shooting in Texas: Fort Hood, 5 November 2009.
If we analyze this mass shooting in Texas, what dispassionate conclusions might we reach, especially in hindsight? Although characterized as "workplace violence," was it that? Or, in the years since that shooting, might we now recognize and admit that testimony and facts have come to light which make it clear it was actually an act of Islamic terrorism? Does it matter, especially after all these years? Of course, it matters. It certainly matters to the families of the victims, not merely on a personal level (which it clearly does), but also it matters to them that others are not marginalized as if their loved one's lives failed to matter.
An honest assessment and treating all victims of such acts fairly and equitably always matters, especially to those who volunteer to serve our country through military service and who end up paying the ultimate price. It matters that our country stands behind their service and their sacrifice.
The time is long past due to revisit that shooting in Texas and assure that those lost lives and the lives of the survivors and all their families are valued and matter.
Robert B. (Scott) Kuhnen retired from Federal Service in 2014 after more than 40 years combined military and civilian service in the USAF. A native Ohioan, he enlisted in the USAF directly out of high school and quickly found himself back in study at the Defense Language Institute (DLI), Monterey, CA. As this occurred right as the U.S.S. Pueblo was being taken by the North Koreans in 1968, language specialists found themselves studying Korean and assigned to flight duty in Korea and Japan. Active duty years passed quickly and burnout was commonly experienced by those serving. The author was honorably discharged and soon found himself back in school at Kent State University where he graduated with honors in 1977. The start of a family made graduate school more difficult and the opportunity to join Federal Service (1978) in the Engineering Directorate of Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC) at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH very appealing. In spite of lacking an engineering degree, the author enjoyed a rewarding career serving in the Defense Standardization Program for both ASC and HQ Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) and as Scientific and Technical Information (STINFO) program manager for both ASC and HQ AFMC. The author considered public service to be a calling and he has continued to serve by raising funds for local Veteran organizations and causes like the Fisher House Foundation and Honor Flight-Dayton.

This is it… The perfect gift for Dad… the Dad who loves to sip aged single malt, artisanal tequila, or Malagasy rum and Maker's Mark Bourbon; for a Dad who likes cocktails or just an occasional after dinner drink.
It is a great gift for both the Dad who doesn't necessarily want to buy the most expensive bottle and the Dad who doesn't mind paying a premium price for his high-end spirit.
Actually it is also the perfect gift for both giver and receiver. That's because the Vinturi Spirit Aerator can be purchased for under $30.
The pioneer of the patented Vinturi Red and White Wine Aerators has come up with The Vinturi Spirit Aerator, a gadget that instantly decants fine liqueurs and spirits, from cognac, Scotch, Port, and whiskey to bourbon, vodka, gin, brandy or sake.
This innovative bar tool has the ability to aerate liqueurs and spirits in a free-flow movement, intensifying their color, opening the nose and palate, and extending their finish, thus enhancing the taste experience.
With a convenient built-in jigger to measure out servings and a sleek, compact transparent vinyl design, the Vinturi Spirit enables you to sip your drink right away instead of having to endlessly swirl it in your glass before you get the harshness out.
I did the old comparative study: non-aerated to aerated single shot taste test with cognac and whiskey. It actually brings out the floral notes in the Cognac, smoothes the palate and the finish is endless and utterly enjoyable. As for the higher end 18 year-old Macallan single malt, the aerated scotch was by far smoother, more buttery and immensely more enjoyable than its un-aerated version.
Dad will have a lot of fun with his friends, testing spirits before and after, and making them guess what the pour is. If he likes what he already drinks what an aerator can do is make it even better. Doesn't Dad deserve that ?
The Vinturi spirit aerator is a simple gadget, with a manual stopper and a magnetic release button that conveniently rests on a stand. It replaces the traditional jigger for measuring with markings on the bowl identifying 1, 1-1/2 and 2 oz. servings. It is machine washable but just running fresh water through it after every use will keep it clean and pretty durable.


Ever since I discovered the beauty that is premade store-bought pizza dough, I've been going nuts concocting all sorts of different pizzas at home! Sometimes there just isn't enough time in the day for a fulltime job and to make fresh homemade pizza dough, and so store-bought is a great alternative. Like for today's recipe: shredded chicken and garlic butter pizza!
It starts with a sauce pan full of melted butter, to which you add a whole lot of minced garlic and allow to sizzle and brown up for a little bit. Meanwhile, whole cloves of garlic are roasted in olive oil in the oven. Pair with some shredded chicken breast, mozzarella cheese, and fresh spinach and you've got a meal that is family-friendly and perfectly garlic-y!
Now it's your turn: what are your favorite pizza toppings? Let me know by commenting below – I would really love to hear what your favorite combos are!
This delicious garlic butter pizza features shredded chicken, spinach, and mozzarella.
Place pizza stone in oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Melt butter over medium heat and sauté garlic until golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer butter and garlic mixture to a bowl and allow to cool until it is solidified again but still soft enough to spread.
Meanwhile, prepare other toppings. Put whole peeled garlic cloves in a small oven safe baking dish and cover with olive oil. Cover dish with a small piece of tin foil and roast garlic in preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove garlic cloves from oven. Increase temperature to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Roll out pizza dough to about ¼ to ½ inch thickness. Spread garlic butter over the dough in a thin layer. Top with mozzarella, shredded chicken, roasted garlic cloves, and spinach. Transfer to preheated pizza stone and cook for 10 minutes. Slice and serve. Enjoy!

The Allan Brooks Nature Centre Society is hoping to have a mural of the renowned wildlife artist and centre's namesake added to downtown Vernon's other mural projects.
Nature centre seeks mural of namesake
Known for his wildlife art, the centre that bears his name wants Allan Brooks immortalized on a brick canvas.
Roger Knox
Sep. 28, 2011 4:00 p.m.
The Allan Brooks Nature Society is hoping to have a downtown mural of its namesake created and asked the City of Vernon for funds for the project.
In a letter to council, Aaron Deans, the executive director for the society, requested financial support in principle for an Allan Brooks mural up to the amount of $25,000 "which would facilitate an application submission to the Canadian Heritage Legacy Fund, which is due Sept. 30."
Deans wrote in a one-page submission that a Brooks mural would commemorate the 125th anniversary of Brooks creating the first-ever illustrated field guide to birds of British Columbia.
"It would also acknowledge the many great contributions he made to the scientific community of his day and of present times as well," wrote Dean of Brooks, who died in 1946 after spending a majority of his life living in Okanagan Landing.
After some confusion and debate, the city agreed to donate $15,000 from its arts reserve fund if the society is successful in its grant application.
"I'm fully supportive of the Allan Brooks Nature Centre but I'm not entirely sure what their goals are with this mural project," said Coun. Buffy Baumbrough. "This is an organization that has come to us in the past asking for money to help with their operations. I'd rather see the $25,000 go towards their operations."
Coun. Patrick Nicol said the project was a natural for council to work with the Downtown Vernon Association, but expressed concerns about the short timeline council had to meet the request.
"The date is so close we don't have the ability to say 'yes,'" said Nicol. "This just came to us. It's pretty impossible to meet this deadline even though it's a very worthy idea."
Coun. Mary-Jo O'Keefe thought the society was looking for a matching donation. It was O'Keefe who made the motion to donate $15,000 if the society's grant application was accepted. Her motion was unanimously passed.
Earl Hansen, executive director of the DVA, was in attendance at Monday's council meeting. He explained that downtown mural's cost about $7 a square metre, depending on the size.
The latest mural of Axel Ebring, a local potter, created on the side of a building on 32nd Avenue, cost $21,000.
City of Vernon finance manager Kevin Bertles said the city has paid for the last two mural projects of Ebring and artist Sveva Caetani.
Hansen said all of the murals in downtown Vernon help brand the city.
"When people talk about our community, they talk about the mural program," said Hansen. "We can't rest on our laurels. We need to look to add murals that are appropriate to the historical theme. A candidate like Allan Brooks makes good sense."
Hansen said no specific site has been selected for a proposed Brooks mural, though several building owners, he said, have contacted his office about having a mural painted on their walls.

Welcome to 2016 . . .
So what year is this for you? Your 16th? Your 60th? Somewhere in between or later?
I don't know about you, but I relish the beginning of a new year. Regardless of what the previous year held, the New Year always brings with it hope, anticipation, opportunities to right wrongs or to try new things, or a fresh start after disappointments.
As always, God knew what he was doing when He created a temporal world with distinct divisions between past and future, with each creating a fresh start: a new day, a new week, a new month, and a new year.
Sometimes we put a lot of undo pressure on ourselves with lofty New Year's resolutions, but I think each of us wants to do and be a little bit better than we did or were the year before, and any amount of success should be celebrated. I was reminded of this when a new friend said that at the end of each year, she writes down her accomplishments for the year. What a wonderful idea—to focus on the successes of the past year rather than the failures. (Thanks, Heather.) Such an activity would also remind us of God's goodness and providence. I think I will add this tradition to my year end activities.
However, though I am one to set goals, I am also learning that a daily setback is not a final setback. I love Matthew West's song "Day One," a part of which is quoted below.
I pray that despite difficulties you may have faced last year, that 2015 also brings some pleasant memories and some personal successes, and that you may look forward to 2016.
Remember, there is beauty in both the sunrise and sunset.


What Makes them unique is that they have added several features over the decades that none such as surveys, an event management tool, and social campaigns. These all contribute to the list of email options available, in addition to automations and recurring newsletters.
On top of these options, they also boast a Market with over 400 integrations which cater to even the most niche of products and programs. Yet despite attributes and these numbers, interest in Constant Contact seems to be according to Google Trends. Reason for us to take a look at Constant Contact's ins & outs and check if it's still applicable in the 21st century.
If you are choosing an email Marketing tool for the business, you could do a lot worse than Constant Contact (which begins at $20 per month). If you want to test out a few of the attributes without committing, then the company offers a free trial. This review looks especially. Were it not for a few unexplained hiccups, Constant Contact could have been an easy pick for our initial option.
How does Constant Contact stack up against the Competition for businesses with 2,500 connections in its own advertising database? It carries a price tag that is $45-per-month that is top. Email advertising tools have a limit on but Constant Contact doesn't.
Constant Contact is easy to use and has lots Of help options, starting with the data icons located alongside choices and disciplines describing what they are Knowledge Base articles, and trainers available at a toll-free number. Constant Contact has an Activity page which lists the status of different jobs, such as contacts that are uploaded, so you know what is happening in the background.
Phone support Isn't 24/7 but the hours are Still pretty generous, moving from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. during the week, also 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends. Chat is available, and the brokers will call you to ensure to have all of the information you want.
Constant Contact offers a number of plans Depending upon the size of your subscriber base. The plan is $20 a month for as many as 500 subscribers and $45 for up to 2,500. A plan prices $335 for 50,000 and $195 for 10,000 subscribers. Price-wise, it's not too different from Campaigner. You may register for other add-on services, such as EventSpot ($20 per month for one occasion; $25 for up to five events) for event registrations, and research ($10 per month) to conduct polls (all of which can be included at no additional charge on the Mail Plus plan). The Basic account comes to keep pictures used in the campaigns with a Library. MyLibrary Plus ($5 per month) expands your storage to 1 GB. Newsletter Archive ($5 per month) generates a widget which may be added to your website on which you can display links to up to 100 emails. This is a if you would like your clients to be able to see your messages that are older.
The free trial Provides you access to all These attributes for 60 days however you can just send up to 100 emails. The trial is a superb way to get used to the platform for a limited number of messages. Once you're sure about the platform, update to the paid version and start blasting away. There's also a 30-day money-back guarantee, which can be unusual in this space.
As Soon as You're Happy with your newsletter, You can send it right away or schedule it for later (in 5-minute intervals, such as 3:05 a.m., 3:10 a.m., and so forth ). We couldn't locate a recurring program to send messages on a daily, weekly, or yearly basis the manner Campaigner does, or to send messages based on the local time in the receiver's location, as GetResponse can.
The company also recently announced a new Attribute named Action Blocks, which enable marketers to include polls or RSVP blocks to regular emails. This permits recipients to respond to messages with a single click without having to depart the email inbox and also visit a web page.
You are able to track, As Soon as You've sent a newsletter using the accounts tab its success. The dashboard displays the basics, such as unsubscribe requests, and opens, clickthroughs, bounces. A handy bar graph shows open rates and a chart compares performance across multiple campaigns. Users may also select up to five mails to compare high-level results side by side. The report has a convenient Refresh button so you can observe real-time results. It's not like MailChimp in which you have to manually load the pages. When we opened mails and clicked on the links, they had been enrolled nearly immediately.
The Resource Center offers links to Info about average clickthrough rates by industry. You can also look at relative metrics to figure out if your level of involvement with your clients is improving or declining over the past 3 months. The cellular app is handy if you want to observe the effort performance from your mobile device.
After we used the shape Address, we repeatedly received an error message but it didn't state what had gone wrong. We were motivated to hit the Previous button to return and fix the problem but we could not because the page had died from our browser (Firefox) cache. After a few tries, the whole page crashed. This was an unusual experience, to say the least. Constant Contact has assured us has greatly improved since our initial test and this is unlikely to occur again.
The file upload import, and CRM Migration alternatives, on the other hand, were simple to use and secure. We believe most people would end up using these choices. We monitored the upload improvement under"Contacts: Activity" and was notified when the import was finish. Much like Campaigner, Constant Contact allows other disposable addresses and Mailinator. It is too bad most services do not follow the case of GetResponse$15.00 in GetResponse, which filters out known disposable domains. Constant Contact rather flags contacts that are likely to be transactional or other similar email addresses so that the user can choose whether to eliminate or store them.
Our only quibble with the Contact Manager is That it's a hassle to edit the user records. After we glued our listing and cut, we dropped in addresses. We didn't have other areas, such as name or address. We needed to load each individual record and update the fields to add this. This was not that simple because the pages were slow to load in our testing. Since we can see the entire list in Contact Manager, it would have been nice to be able to simply click on the lost field, input, and just keep going down the page. Lesson learned: Be sure to have each the applicable fields before uploading the titles populated from the list.
Constant Contact also enables you to create forms That customers can use to sign up for newsletters and emails. These forms may be hosted on your site or on Constant Contact's servers. The consumers can be segmented by you based on whether they used the sign-up form or alternative procedures, which can be useful. The company also recently announced a brand new signup form editor that is intended to allow users to create inline forms that may be embedded onto a website in addition to pop-up forms which can be customized to display after a fixed amount of time or when a visitor attempts to leave the website, the business stated.
Constant Contact requires you to confirm that You have approval from your whole list! As there is absolutely no way to verify you've got permission from each individual receiving messages sent to that address you also can not use set addresses such as sales @ or marketing @ addresses or distribution lists. You might also create autoresponders, listed under the Generate button, to ship when a user is added to a list. We used the templates to build a Welcome newsletter .
If you don't need these extra features, Then Constant Contact is a superb option. Should you want a bit more flexibility in your marketing strategy, then have a look at email marketing Editors' Choices Campaigner and MailChimp.
That is because, unlike other tools, such as Editors' Choice marketing automation systems Pardot and HubSpot, Constant Contact doesn't doesn't offer branching logic. It focuses on two triggers to start automation campaigns. For example, an automation workflow can be started by you when someone joins a listing or achieves a landmark, like a birthday or anniversary as a customer. However, you can't change automationsbased on whether or not someone opened an email, forwarded an email, or clicked on a link within the body of this email.
Automation platforms automatic, more intelligent and, well, compared to advertising tools, create life personalized and easier for entrepreneurs for customers. Additionally, Constant Contact does not offer A/B testing (they do provide subject line A/B testing), no search advertising addition, and the restricted workflows it is possible to create don't offer you drag-and-drop builders, which are pretty much standard these days. Should you require automation for second and first interactions with customers Constant Contact is a automation system. If you would like sequencing and flexible workflows that adapt to your clients' specific actions, then Constant Contact is not strong enough to compete at the marketing automation space.
These days, the issue, is that there are Lots of email Tools offering even greater than Constant Contact, and also for a whole lot less money. This includes user expertise, but also not just attributes. In fact, for the amount you pay with Constant Contact, you could end up using tools such as ActiveCampaign and GetResponse.

George Keverian (June 3, 1931 – March 6, 2009) was an American Democratic Party politician who served as the Speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1985 until 1991.[1] In his role in the legislature, he was an advocate for greater openness in leadership, free speech and government reform.

Early life and education[edit]
George Keverian was born in Everett, Massachusetts, located in Middlesex County, near Boston. Keverian was the son of Armenian parents who immigrated to America from Turkey before 1915; his mother was a dressmaker and his father ran a shoe repair business.[2]
Keverian attended Everett High School where he was a champion runner[3] the valedictorian of the class of 1949.[2] Keverian attended Tufts College for two years before transferring to Harvard College.[2][4] Keverian graduated from Harvard in 1953.[2]
Early political career[edit]
He was elected to the City of Everett Common Council in 1954 at the age of 21, shortly after his graduation from Harvard. Running for three seats in a field of three dozen, Keverian used a high-speed motion picture camera suggested by his brother that could capture still images of each house in the ward. He sent an individualized flier to each house with a photo of their own home and a message about the attention he would offer the neighborhood.[5] He served on the Common Council until 1961, serving as President of the Common Council from 1960 to 1961.[1]
Massachusetts House of Representatives[edit]
In 1966, Keverian was elected to represent the 20th Middlesex District in the Massachusetts House of Representatives.
From 1975 to 1978 Keverian was the House Majority Whip, the number three leadership position in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. In 1978 Keverian was chosen to be the House Majority Leader, the number two leadership position in the Massachusetts House of Representatives.
Speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives[edit]
Serving in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, he won the position as Speaker of the House from fellow Democrat Thomas W. McGee in January 1985,[2] bringing reformers in the legislature to back his candidacy. Though he was able to bring greater openness, he had difficulties as a leader and in pushing through legislation. He left the post, and state politics, in 1991, after losing the Democratic party primary for Massachusetts State Treasurer.[4]
Later life[edit]
He returned to Everett, where he was appointed as the city's chief assessor in 1995. He lost the position in 2007, with Keverian claiming that he had lost the post due to conflicts with the city's mayor; the mayor stated that the position had been eliminated.[4]
Weighing as much as 400 pounds by 2002, Keverian blamed his place in the public eye for his weight problems, telling a 2003 forum on obesity at the Harvard School of Public Health that "People can be very, very cruel, even when they're not trying to be" and that "Having all that publicity and public acceptance worked against me". He was able to bring his weight down to 260 pounds following gastric bypass surgery in 2002.[4]
The George Keverian School in Everett, Massachusetts is named after him. Keverian had been scheduled to read a Dr. Seuss book to first-graders at the school on the day of his death.[1]
Death and burial[edit]
Keverian died at age 77, on March 6, 2009.[4] He was buried in Glenwood Cemetery in Everett, Massachusetts.

more to come for here only!
Miz already beat Apollo clean, what makes you think that 1. he gets a rematch and 2. Miz needs to screw him over to win?
Besides all that, did you miss the part where Brian has a brain lesion? Dude isn't wrestling again, at least not for WWE.
Bret Hart had a stroke and was told he could never wrestle again ut he won the us title of the miz and faced Vince mcmahon at mania..
And he didn't take a single bump in any of the matches and never once was hit anywhere close to the head. Bret and Vince are both pensioners too. The match with miz had one move and the "match" with Vince was Vince getting literally beat up for twenty minutes.
You really think Bryan would be content to have a throw away match in which he doesn't get to perform the way he wants? You really think the wwe would waste a wrestlemania slot on a "match" with someone who the audience know isn't medically cleared to perform, make Miz, their current long term intercontinental champion, look like a chump and all of this just because 7-8 months prior they had a non physical disagreement?
Also, keep in mind that the exact reason Daniel Bryan retired was that WWE refused to let him work in the ring even before it became common knowledge about the brain lesions and stuff. WWE had drawn that line, even when they took a public relations hit for "keeping Bryan from doing what he wants and loves" because they were trying to value his long-term health over short-term gains.
Also not that it matters, but Bret retired because of concussions, not from his stroke. His stroke happened 4 years after he was forced to retire. Daniel retired due to concussions and the complications they caused (lesion, seizures). Doesn't matter how safe you think it can be, all it takes is a single mishap and a dudes life is ruined or ends for no reason at all. Imagine Bret climbs a turnbuckle , loses his footing (which he did happen to do when he won the U.S title) falls backwards and whacks his head.
Daniel is younger (so can do much more than almost 60 year old Bret) and proven to be reckless. He wrestled after hiding seizures. He didn't alter his style a single bit after missing a year of action, including the ridiculous top rope dropkicks he would do, or diving through the ropes. Would you trust Daniel to follow the script of a "safe" match when he has specifically stated that he would wrestle if WWE would let him?
The risk to health is way too high for Daniel and if ages were ignored, they probably wouldn't do Bret vs Vince (or Miz or Nexus) in 2016 knowing now what they didn't know in 2010.
Zigs/Miz and Wyatt/Orton added to Backlash.
I wonder if they gonna top up the women's roster on smackdown . 6 women is just to small a roster to make for feuds. They should have had women on one show and cruiserweights on another like before..
It'll be seven (on the roster) when Eva Marie gets off of suspension to not-be-able-to wrestle. It's basically the same on Raw. And there will probably be more crossover than with the male divisions. Like the divas will definitely have a raw vs. smackdown survivor series match.
Not a bad ppv at all. My only gripe was the constant adverts for wwe events I don't know if it was just the UK stream of it or was everywhere but one seemed to go on for 3 minutes like they were putting them in to make the run time longer..
Try not to discuss Raw wrestlers in the sd ppv thread.


Reynolds School of Journalism students had the opportunity to meet Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Paul Kitagaki Jr. during a special public discussion on April 5.
The event was the latest in the Reynolds School's Center for Advanced Media Studies speaker series, which aims to connect students to individuals with outstanding journalism careers. During his visit, Kitagaki Jr. discussed his "Gambatte! Legacy of an Enduring Spirit" exhibit, which documents the legacy of Japanese Americans subjected to internment camps in 1942. Kitagaki Jr.'s visit was arranged by Reynolds School professor Howard Goldbaum.
Paul Kitagaki Jr. speaks in Studio A at the Reynolds School.
After examining photographs of his family awaiting detainment in 1942, Kitagaki Jr. was inspired to interview surviving Japanese Americans who experienced forced relocation and share their stories. His search, which began in 2005, eventually resulted in a number of audio and video interviews and photographs that mirror those taken over seven decades ago.
According to Goldbaum, students had a number of intriguing questions for Kitagaki Jr. and were particularly inspired by the in-depth nature of his project.
"Students were impressed not only by the content of the photographs but by the decade-long commitment to a personal project that was all-consuming," Goldbaum said.
Kitagaki Jr. has a storied career in photojournalism and documentary photography. His work has ranged from covering nations such as Vietnam and Iraq to six Olympic Games. He has worked as a senior photographer at The Sacramento Bee since 2003 and has received a variety of awards, including a shared Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1990.
In addition to his public CAMS presentation, Kitagaki Jr. met with students in Goldbaum's photojournalism courses and offered critiques on their various projects. During his classroom visits, Kitagaki Jr. detailed the duties of a photojournalist at a daily newspaper and made light of its unique challenges.
Paul Kitagaki Jr. critiques the photographs of RSJ students Breanna Denney and Jon Sarmenta.
"What he demonstrated is that you have to be a professional and photograph all kinds of subjects," Goldbaum said. "On a daily basis you don't know what you're going to be assigned. If you're a photojournalist at a daily newspaper you might have to do fashion one day and fire rescue or sports another day.
More information about Kitagaki Jr. and his work can be found on his personal website.

More importantly, it reminds us what we desire for every person in our world: a home place, an appreciation of the local, rich life experiences, friends and family.

New Music: The Paper Kites 'St Clarity'
Melbourne indie folk quintet, The Paper Kites have announced the release of their new single, St Clarity and will be celebrating with a national headline tour of Australia through August and September. The tour will kick off in Newcastle and head on through Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Byron Bay, Melbourne, Adelaide, Fremantle and Hobart before finishing up with a second and final homecoming show at The Forum.
Having won over tens of thousands of fans across the globe with their first two EP's Woodlands and Young North, The Paper Kites have also announced news of their highly anticipated debut album, States revealing the album is slated for a late August release.
Produced by The Paper Kites, alongside ARIA winning producer Wayne Connolly (You Am I, Josh Pyke) at Melbourne's Sing Sing Studios and Sydney's iconic Alberts, St Clarity is the first single to be lifted from the forthcoming LP. Kicking off with a lone banjo before moving through to a beautiful blend of harmonies, music boxes and horns, it becomes obvious from the get go that St Clarity boasts all the alluring textures they're best known for and more. Frontman Sam Bentley explains the lyrical meaning behind the song saying, "At its heart, the song is about the beauty of finding clarity in a situation, seeing things from a perspective that's clear – from an angle you haven't seen before."
The video for St Clarity was filmed by two-time ARIA winning director, Natasha Pincus the mastermind behind Gotye's Grammy-winning chart-topper, Somebody That I Used To Know, however this clip was not the reason the band wanted to work with Pincus. "I was initially attracted to her work surprisingly not from the Gotye video, but when I watched her talking on a panel about how important it is to tell a story, to bring the audience in to something," explains Bentley. The clip follows a narrative that highlights the fact that there is beauty to be found in life's simple things. Starring French artist Sylvain Letuvée, Sam clarifies why he was drawn to the artist, "I found Sylvain's work accidentally when stumbling around the internet, and I was fascinated by the sheer size of the bubbles he was making."
Having crossed the country a number of times in the last year on both their own headline tours and in support of Bombay Bicycle Club, Josh Pyke and Boy & Bear, The Paper Kites have built up a loyal, word-of-mouth fan-base. This extensive touring coupled with the success of their tunes Bloom, Featherstone and A Maker Of My Time has seen their live following skyrocket. Throw over six million YouTube views and the band's memorable live performances in to the mix and they're now looking at a whole new level of demand with their Spring tour set to be their biggest dates yet. Then straight after the Aussie tour, the band will be jetting over to the US to perform their first shows on American turf, playing the main support for City And Colour's major national The Hurry and The Harm US Tour.
