    THOUSANDS OF RUSSIANS PROTEST AGAINST PUTIN AMID ELECTIONS
    December 5, 2011 - Moscow, Russia

    Thousands of Russians gathered in the streets of Moscow to protest against Prime Minister Putin after accusations of an unfair parliamentary election slanted in Putin's favor. The unrest comes soon after Putin announced he would run for president in the next election. Putin had held the presidency from 2000 until 2008, but was not allowed to run for a third consecutive term.

    STILLSON WRENCH
    December 5, 1876 - U.S.A.

    A U.S. patent for the first practical pipe wrench - the Stillson wrench - was issued to Daniel C. Stillson of Somerville, Mass. (No. 184,993). In 1869, he had whittled a model out of wood, which he showed to his boss at the Walworth Company. He recognised the wooden pattern showed a new type of pipe wrench, superior to anything else in use at that time, and badly needed in the growing pipe industry. Stillson was instructed to test one built in steel. The test convinced the company owner that the concept was sound. Stillson obtained a patent, and offered to sell the patent for a small outright payment. Instead, the owner graciously advised Stillson accept royalties instead. Stillson thus earned far more in his lifetime.

No matter what else you are doing from cradle days through

Each month ends a thirty day chapter, Each year sees the end

Each morn when you wake, the Book opens, Revealing a page
clean and white, What thoughts and what words and what doings will cover it's surface by night ?

Good leaves that to you, You're the writer, And never one word will grow dim, Until someday you'll write the word FINISHED, And give your Life's Book Back To Him.

"GOD BLESS"
