Recent statistics show that 40-50% of the American public is on anti-depressants. This does not include the use of anti-psychotics, stimulants and anti-anxiety drugs, such as sleeping pills -- making the total number of drugged Americans into the tens of millions.

Blacohs Flow-Thru Sentinel diaphragm seals prevent the dead-leg effect common in most piping systems and provide the ideal solution for viscous or thick slurries which clog appendage type diaphragm seals. Flow-Thru models are easy to clean and allow quick changing of process fluids. Furthermore, all Sentinel diaphragms and seal bodies unconditionally GUARANTEED for three years from your date of purchase.

Without Sentinel protection, hazardous and corrosive process fluids regularly contaminate and damage system instrumentation, shortening their service life and creating a potentially costly problem. Sentinel Diaphragm Seals also work to ensure gauge and switch accuracy, smooth out erratic pressure surges, and allow you to replace expensive gauges with low-cost utility gauges. Furthermore, unlike many other brands, the strength and durability of Sentinel Diaphragm Seals holds up to the hand-tightening of your gauges.

Two works from the Whimsical Doodle’s Whimsical Worlds collection, created by artist Jan C.J. Jones were juried and accepted into the Colored Pencil Graphics division for the American Juried Art Salon's 2006 Fall/Winter show. Jones was also named the Divisional Award Winner of the Pastel/Graphics category which garnered a cash award. The American Juried Art Salon hosts juried art exhibitions of the highest ethical standards while maintaining close professional relationships with many major galleries that view the juried-in art. Jones’ two works are titled "First Impressions" and “The Rastafarian Flute-Harpist Arrived Late.” Described as "Peter Max colliding with Kandinsky," Jones’ Whimsical Doodles transport the viewer into mostly lighthearted abstract scenes filled with geometry, color, wonderfully composed spaces occupied (in some cases) by unfamiliar, otherworldly creatures. Each drawing represents a small segment of a much greater story to be completed or continued by the viewer. Intending to incite the imagination and inspire creativity, observers are invited to complete the story. The art show can be viewed at www.naagd.com, the website of The National Association for Gallery Owners, Directors & Artists who co-hosted the show.

Computers have become essential at work and at home. More than 100 million Americans now use PCs on a regular basis. Over 40 million families have PCs connected to the Internet at home.

Unfortunately, most parents do not know what is on their computer or how their children are using the Internet. Children and teens face a growing number of risks on-line: exposure to inappropriate content (e.g. sites related to pornography, drugs, violence), on-line solicitation from predators and criminals on social networking sites, e-commerce scams and harassment. Trying to manually check a computer for risk indicators requires significant computer expertise and lots of time.

What happens when your past does not belong to you — and your future may force you to make decisions that can doom the world or save it? Nikki Persley examines this question in "Serpent of Eternity," a haunting page-turner that is steeped in secrets, and spans centuries in a thought-provoking exploration of human nature, identity, and the age-old conflict between good and evil.

Anya Alan, the protagonist in Persley’s novel, must embark on a journey of self-discovery and learn to tap into her innate talents and strengths in order to save herself and humanity from the misanthropic demon that pursues her. Is she the latest incarnation of an African earth goddess? Members of a secret religious society strive to help her reclaim her destiny as the demon plots to make her the vessel for its rebirth. Anya discovers that monsters do exist, and when her perfectly constructed life unravels, she is thrust into a world where fantasy and reality blur.
