Murray Hill and New Providence, New Jersey, U.S., August 5, 2010 – The Electronics and Specialty Gases business of Linde North America recently commissioned a new carbon dioxide (CO2) purification unit at its electronics gases facility in Medford, Oregon. The production unit was designed to produce CO2 with purity above 99.9997 percent, primarily for the semiconductor and other electronics applications.
Linde North America is a member of The Linde Group, a world leading gases and engineering company. Linde's Electronics and Specialty Gases business is a leading global supplier of a wide range of products – from high-purity nitrogen and rare gases to electronic process gases such as hydrogen chloride, sulfur hexafluoride and silane, to series of halocarbons -- across a number of industries: semiconductor manufacturing, medical, scientific research, fiber optics, environmental testing and compliance, laser applications and lighting.
The Medford plant utilizes a multiple-stage distillation process to produce several grades of CO2, including an ultra-low hydrocarbon grade for specialized on-wafer CO2 cleaning operations. This grade relies on a proprietary cylinder preparation process which assures final hydrocarbons are at low part-per-trillion levels and are not deposited on wafer or mask surfaces which would have a negative impact on yield.
"Semiconductor manufacturers continue to reinforce their need for high quality and reliability of supply chain," said Peter Thomas, head of marketing for Linde's Electronics business. Linde North America is the largest supplier of CO2 in North America with over 25 potential raw material supply points. "Linde's investment in a completely integrated CO2 purification system at Medford allows us to fully manage the availability and overall quality for this key material," said Thomas.
The Linde Group is a world leading gases and engineering company with almost 48,000 employees working in more than 100 countries worldwide. In the 2009 financial year it achieved sales of EUR 11.2 billion (USD 15.3 billion). The strategy of The Linde Group is geared towards sustainable earnings-based growth and focuses on the expansion of its international business with forward-looking products and services.
Linde acts responsibly towards its shareholders, business partners, employees, society and the environment – in every one of its business areas, regions and locations across the globe. Linde is committed to technologies and products that unite the goals of customer value and sustainable development.

BRAINSSSSS…. somebody has them.
AMC is venturing into zombie-drama territory with multi-hyphenate Frank Darabont.
Cabler is close to finalizing one of the richest development deals ever with Darabont to write and direct a series adaptation of the Image Comics graphic novel series "The Walking Dead," penned by Robert Kirkman. Gale Anne Hurd ofValhalla Motion Pictures and David Alpert of Circle of Confusion are also on board to exec produce.
Project is set among a group of zombie survivors of an apocalypse who are led by a police officer, Rick Grimes, in search of a safe place to live. Numerous editions of the "Walking Dead" graphic novels have been published since 2003.
Joel Stillerman, AMC's senior veep of programming, production and original content, said the project appealed to the cabler because of "the quality of the storytelling" in Kirkman's work. The series will stay faithful to the tone of the original novels, he said.
"This is not about zombies popping out of closets," Stillerman said. "This is a story about survival, and the dynamics of what happens when a group is forced to survive under these circumstances. The world (in 'Walking Dead') is portrayed in a smart, sophisticated way."
Stillerman noted that the cabler's annual "Fear Fest" movie showcase around Halloween is one of AMC's most popular programming events of the year.
"We've got an audience that loves this kind of material," he said.
Darabont and Hurd pitched the project to AMC and several other outlets. There is no studio attached yet. The duo's involvement made the project a must-have for the cabler, Stillerman said.
"These are two world-class filmmakers who are also brilliant storytellers with experience in the fantasy genre," he said.
From Variety
Let me be the first to say that Nathan Fillion will make the perfect Rick Grimes.

The dog days may soon be over in the world of emojis, thanks to Chicago hot dog restaurant Superdawg.
General Manager Laura Ustick began a campaign earlier this year to advocate for the creation of a hot dog emoji, and the campaign has attracted national attention. Emoji are the colorful pictures and icons used in electronic messages to communicate things, from feelings to food.
The current dictionary of emojis contains food symbols of all kinds, including pizza, sushi, French fries and ice cream. Somehow, the traditional American cuisine -- the hot dog -- has been left out.
Ustick noticed a demand for the emoji after witnessing Twitter discussions about the absence of a hot dog. Since then, she has joined the conversation and created a prototype for the emoji. She even launched a Change.org petition asking emoji creator Shigetaka Kurita to add a hotdog symbol -- without ketchup -- to the visual library.
"We take our hot dogs very seriously," Usick said.
U.S. & World
Ustick's design for the hot dog is meant to appeal to hot dog lovers all over the world, but its lack of ketchup is a tribute to her Chicago roots.
In her appeal for the emoji, Usick has enlisted hot dog restaurants and food celebrities all over the country, including Vienna Beef, the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council in D.C., Detroit's Singing Hot Dog Man and competitive eater Patrick "Deep Dish" Bertoletti.
Ustick believes the hot dog emoji belongs with the rest of them, so she has been using social media sites like Twitter and the Facebook page "Hot Dog Emoji Coalition" to get the word out.
"The emoji is a universal language, and the hot dog is a universal food," she said.

The white former Bay Area Rapid Transit police officer convicted in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man has been released after serving only 11 months of a two-year sentence, reports KCRA.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said Johannes Mehserle was set free early Monday from the county jail where he served his time after his high-profile trial was moved to Southern California. A judge ruled Friday that Mehserle should be given credit for time served and good conduct.
Mehserle, 29, was convicted last July of involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of Grant, 22, on a Bay Area Rapid Transit train station platform in Oakland on New Year's Day 2009.
Mehserle was responding to a fight on the train platform and was angry the 22-year-old Grant resisted arrest. Grant was laying prostate and handcuffed when he was shot in the back by Mehserle, who claims he "accidentally" drew his .40 caliber handgun instead of his Taser.
The jury acquitted Mehserle of the more serious charges of second-degree murder and voluntary manslaughter. Eight women and four men sat on the jury, none of whom were black.
Violent riots erupted in Oakland after the jury's verdict. At least 150 people were arrested during the protests.
The involuntary manslaughter conviction had the option of an "enhancement" that could have extended the sentence 14 years because a firearm was used. The judge chose not to do so.
Shame, shame, shame.

What Are Phobias
Understanding what phobias are?
Understanding What Phobias Are?
If you suffer from panic attacks and anxiety then there is high probably you have developed lots of phobias. This is perfectly normal as sufferers tend to associate places, people or creatures with panicky feelings, and this leads to phobias. I developed a whole number of phobias whilst I suffered from anxiety. These included standing in queues, heights, social situations, driving on motorways, being in meetings at work, standing in crowds, driving over long bridges, etc.
These tended to have one thing in common – the feeling of being trapped in a situation. Therefore if you actually defined what I was suffering from is fitted more into agoraphobia than any other category of phobia. I also definitely had a social phobia as well. Most people believe that people who have agoraphobia are restricted to the confines of there home but this is frequently not the case. Many people lead apparently 'normal lives' with agoraphobia however they have limits to where they can go, i.e. they can only travel with a certain radius of where they live.
Phobias can be over come. We were not born with phobias and they have been learnt by faulty thinking. They are a just bad habit, that's the way I looked at them during my recovery. They are NOT a form of serious mental illness even though they can lead to intense feelings of fear. They can also seriously lead to person life being restricted according to what they fear. Below is a short quiz that will test how much you know about phobias. The answers are at the bottom of the article. Think of it as just a bit of fun and test yourself!
Phobias are:
A. A mild kind of mental health problem.
B. A disease.
C. A set of deeply-ingrained thoughts and habits.

The symptoms of fear are actually produced by:
A. Unpleasant thoughts going round and round in the mind which can increase fear.
B. The pulse rate continually racing.
C. Adrenalin released into the bloodstream inappropriately.
D. Picking up 'bad vibes' from others can make people fearful.
Phobias are made worse by:
A. Staying in the situation that makes you anxious.
B. Not having an easy 'escape route' when anxiety starts to rise.
C. Reading too much about them.
D. Avoiding the situation that makes you anxious.
Finding out the root cause of someone's phobia:
A. Is an essential starting point for recovery.
B. Is useful for recovery but not essential.
C. Is relatively easy to discover.
D. Is not worth spending time and energy on.
The commonest single type of phobia is:
A. Fear of dogs.
B. Agoraphobia.
C. School phobia.
D. Dentist phobia.
The most effective way to overcome a phobia is usually:
A, By self-exposure treatment.
B. With tranquillisers.

D. By avoiding things that trigger it.
The goals for recovery should be:
A. Set as high as possible.

The steps towards the recovery goal should be:
A. As close together as possible.
B. Limited to five.
C. Big enough to be worthwhile but not so big as to be too difficult.
D. As far apart as possible.
When fear becomes a phobia
Phobia comes from the Greek word meaning "fear" or "morbid fear". Phobias produce fear or anxiety which happens at a time when there is no logical reason.
Our species has survived by having fear and anxiety to act as a bodyguard, to warn us of danger and protecting us when it's near. Phobias have emerged due to the body having a badly trained bodyguard which constantly overreacts and rings alarms bells in totally the wrong situations.
Sometimes the alarm bell is so frightening to some people that it keeps them confined to their own home in the belief that this is the only way to keep them safe.
If you are someone who has phobia then you are probably doing one of two things.
- Your reaction (anxiety levels) are not suitable to the level of danger you face
- You are taking unnecessary precautions to avoid dangers which are unfounded.
Many phobic people will go to any lengths to avoid the situation that make them anxious. This is what they think will help them stay calm. Therefore we know its more than just experiencing inappropriate levels of anxiety.
A phobia is anxiety and avoidance put together
Phobias unfortunately handicap people quite severely. Imagine you have been locked up in jail unable to go outside or open your windows. Well phobias can make you become like this. People with phobias become virtual prisoners in there own home. For others there life is less restricted but still certain areas become very difficult like driving, eating out, creatures, entering social situations and public places.
When a friend or relative is talked through how fear and anxiety work it all seems very logical. But for 'normal people' it's very hard to comprehend. They tend to think phobias are a weakness in the person character. They don't understand how the fear has arisen and quite how ill and frightened the person feels. They totally misunderstand and are unable top comprehend the fear in involved.
In future blog posts I intend to show you how to overcome phobias and the roadblocks to recovery you must avoid.
|"It's hard for everyone. It always seems like it's hardest for you, but your success and your happiness has much more to do with understanding other people around you than it does with understanding yourself. And, guess what, the homecoming queen probably has crippling phobias too. It sounds cliche, but you have to think about everyone like they're people, and suddenly you realize that 90% of teenagers have moments where they want to cut themselves, pull out their hair, punch their best friend and sit crying in the shower. And EVERYONE was once a teenager…that goes for your teachers, parents, rock idols, and grand parents…and those people all made it through." Hank Green

New DA will handle Bellaire police shooting
Anderson says he may seek the death penalty
When 21-year-old Harlem Harold Lewis appears in court Jan. 2 on charges that he killed a Bellaire police officer and a local businessman on Christmas Eve, he will face a prosecutor who will have been on the job only one day.
Newly elected Harris County District Attorney Mike Anderson, who will be sworn in on New Year's Day, said Wednesday that he will personally try Lewis in the shooting, and may pursue the death penalty.
News: Funeral plans announced for slain Bellaire police officer
"The district attorney, if a police officer is a victim of capital murder, should try the case," Anderson said. "I came up in the Johnny Holmes administration and that was his policy. I wholeheartedly agreed with it in those days and I still do."
Anderson may have just one day of experience as district attorney when he is expected to meet Lewis in court, but the criminal justice veteran was a prosecutor for 17 years and a state district judge for 12 before being elected in November.
Lewis is accused of capital murder in the death of a police officer, Jimmie Norman, 53, and murder in the death of Terry Taylor, 66, who owned a Maaco body shop in Bellaire.
Lewis is accused of shooting both men during an early-morning traffic stop in front of Taylor's store, then fleeing. He was arrested after being shot twice, and remains hospitalized.
News: Rodent causes partial blackout of downtown Houston
Anderson said he will decide after taking office whether to seek the death penalty against Lewis — a decision typically made months after an incident.
"We'll look at the background of the defendant, the acts that occurred on the day of the offense and any mitigating factors before we make that decision," he said.
Either way, Anderson said, he plans to divide work evenly in the case between himself and two other high-ranking prosecutors while attending to the duties of the office, a campaign promise he made while working to unseat current District Attorney Pat Lykos.
Lykos did not personally try any cases during her four-year tenure, but her administration secured two death penalties in police deaths.
Carl Wayne Buntion, a career criminal with 13 felony convictions, was sent back to death row in a retrial earlier this year. Buntion gunned down James Irby, a Houston Police Department motorcycle officer, during a June 1990 traffic stop.
Mabry Joseph Landor III was sentenced to die in 2010 for shooting HPD officer Timothy Abernethy two years earlier.
Lykos declined to comment for this report.
Before she took office, her predecessor, Chuck Rosenthal, had vowed to prosecute Juan Quintero for the killing of HPD officer Rodney Johnson.
Rosenthal resigned three months before the case went to trial in May 2008. Ken Magidson, who headed the DA's office on an interim basis until Lykos was elected, did not try the case. Quintero is serving life in prison without parole.
News: Bush 41 in 'guarded condition' in ICU
Rosenthal did put Robert Gene Will on death row for the Dec. 4, 2000, capital murder of Harris County sheriff's Deputy Barrett Hill.
"I made the scene of the shooting, I made the scene of the arrest, and I felt very strongly about it," he said. "I felt like the jury needed the opportunity to consider the ultimate punishment."
Like the situation Anderson is in, Rosenthal had been elected but not yet sworn in when the deputy was shot.
He also noted that Holmes, Carol Vance and Frank Briscoe all tried cases while they were serving as DA.
"I probably would have maintained my sanity a little bit better if I had tried a few more and not involved myself in the minutiae of office work," Rosenthal said.
He resigned, citing judgment problems because of prescription medication, after the release of hundreds of controversial emails.
He said DAs should be competent prosecutors as well as administrators.
"One of the qualifications for that job, I think, should be being a good trial lawyer," he said. "And the people ought to have their best trial lawyers handling their most important cases."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – People living in the Secret Hills subdivision off Monument Road in Fort Caroline say several houses have been broken into recently.
The neighborhood is only seven miles from the Arlington neighborhood where at least seven homes were broken into Tuesday.
The scenarios appear similar. In several of the burglaries, thieves have gone behind homes and broke in through a window or door to get inside.
In the last two weeks, at least three homes on the same street in Secret Hills have been hit.
"The day of the Air Show, the 20th of October, my house was broken into in the middle of the day," Marc Geier said.
Geier has an alarm system, a big dog and other means of defense, all reasons to believe his home was safe. But that changed when thieves targeted his house.
"They drove a car behind my house through the grass and entered into the back bedroom, and they took some valuables of my father's that I got when he died, they took my laptop, my wedding video and my photos of my dad and some cash," Geier said.
Eight-hundred dollars in cash, three rifles, a handgun, a laptop and he and wife's sense of security are gone.
"No one ever expects it to happen to them until it happens," Geier said. "I have to board my windows for my wife to feel safe now."
After learning his neighborhood isn't the only one being targeted, Geier is trying to start a neighborhood watch group.
"It seems like somebody's getting hit like every couple days or every week," said resident Dennis Vansant.
Five houses down, neighbors say a burglar tried to kick the front door in, leaving a footprint, but the alarm went off and the burglar ran.
"We're getting tired of it, so people are ready to do what they have to do to stop it," Vansant said.
This isn't the first time the neighborhood has been hit. Erica Simpson said that last Christmas, thieves broke into every car parked outside and her husband's briefcase was stolen.
"It's scary because, I mean, we have families here, this is a good part of town, and you know, we all like to park out here because we use our garages for other things, storage or just other rooms, and it kind of makes you think twice," Simpson said.
Channel 4 crime analyst Ken Jefferson said that especially with another holiday season approaching, residents should keep in mind that daytime burglaries are even more common.
Almost all of the homes in Secret Hills neighborhood have alarm systems. Jefferson said those who have an alarm system should with their alarm company and make sure it's being properly monitored and doesn't just go off without alerting someone.

Last night's dinner consisted of Aunt Jemima buttermilk pancakes, cinnamon french toast, fresh blueberry sauce, strawberries, and sausages. No joke, it took me longer to make the coffee than dinner.
I just popped the french toast in the toaster over and the pancakes in the microwave. In less than a minute the food was on the table. I have to admit that I was very surprised how fresh everything looked and smelled. My entire house smelled exactly the way it does when I spend an HOUR making pancakes for brinner. I think that it totally helps that Aunt Jemima uses quality, real ingredients like eggs, milk, and sugar - exactly the same ingredients as I use in my own. It really lives up to the slogan "Every batch made from scratch".
My family gave Aunt Jemima two thumbs up! Everyone quietly devoured the meal and then begged for more. I cut my 6 year old off after 5 pancakes (growth spurt?!!!). In fact, the boys requested pancakes again before school this morning! I love that our busy family can still have time for a hot meal before leaving the house. It feels good to send my boys to school knowing they had a hearty breakfast. Score one for mom!
Got toddlers in your house? Aunt Jemima also makes Lil' Griddles that offer a big breakfast taste, yet bite-sized. Perfect for little eaters. They come in three bite-sized breakfast options: Aunt Jemima frozen Blueberry Mini pancakes, Aunt Jemima frozen Mini pancakes, and Aunt Jemima frozen Cinnamon French Toast Sticks. I have a feeling we will be trying all three soon!
Thank you to Aunt Jemima Frozen Breakfast for being a sponsor. I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls Collective. All opinions expressed here are my own.

Mainly looking for ideas as to what I need to implement.
heres the situation:
We have baout 10 offices located throughout a state...each office needs to be able to share files and what not with other offices, however it must be secure as this information deals with Sensitive Patient Data. Most of these offices are separated by at least 80+ miles.
So Security is a very high priority.
I thought about maybe setting up a VPN to a central server somewhere, but not sure I really want to have to buy VPN equipment for all the offices and set it all up.
Looking to see if maybe their is some easier way, but as secure...I thought about maybe setting up a central File server that would be passworded, but I dont' think that would be secure enough for holding sensitive data. Since it would be possible to run something to capture the data from that office to the server a little to easy.
I think maybe something that would both encrypt the data where it is stored...encrypt it while its being transmitted...and be passworded...at least 2 stage authentication.
Kinda new to this area of IT, just trying to see what some of your guys opinions are.

Eric Trac's senior year at MIT has been a busy one. He's finishing his coursework in chemical engineering, applying to medical school, and researching a gel that can help heal scarred vocal cords. He's also mentoring youth debaters in Boston, planning a community service trip to his hometown of San Francisco, and setting up a mentoring program for premedical students. And when he gets the chance, he calls home to talk to his mother.
A rough start
Ten years ago, Trac didn't speak much in school. He didn't understand much, either: The son of Vietnamese refugees, Trac didn't speak English at home and struggled through elementary school, bringing home standardized test marks that were far below average.
Neither of Trac's parents had attended college; his mother had abandoned her dreams of becoming a pharmacist to flee Vietnam's Communist regime in 1979. "My mother was forced to work countless hours at a series of minimum-wage jobs in order to support my family," Trac recounted in an essay, "Teardrops Don't Always Drip Down," that was awarded an Isabelle de Courtivron Prize last year by MIT's School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences.
One night when Trac was 10, his mother called him into the kitchen, where she sat holding his poor test results. That night changed his life, Trac says: "At 10 years old, I realized that if I wanted to avoid my mother's fate — the fate of working multiple jobs to feed her family and having almost no control over her own life or the lives of those she loved — I would have to work hard. I took the only path in front of me, which was to open my books and start reading."
For the next two years, Trac and his mother routinely stayed up until 2 or 3 a.m. as she helped him through his homework and read books to him in English, translating into Vietnamese intermittently. By high school, the hard work had paid off. "The material surpassed my mother's knowledge, but I retained my work ethic and my attitude toward academics," Trac says.
Trac hadn't thought much about college — until joining his high school debate club. "I think that was the first time that I sat down and started writing my own arguments, articulating my own thoughts, in front of others," Trac reflects. "I got to see that I have potential of my own."
"I resolved to work hard in high school to make college financially viable through scholarships and financial aid," Trac says. "Ultimately, I secured a nearly free, world-class education at MIT."
MIT and medicine
Trac's enjoyment of his high-school chemistry and math classes led him to major in chemical engineering at the Institute. He became interested in medicine during his sophomore year, and decided to follow a premedical track.
"Medicine gives me a unique opportunity to see the impact of my work, and the work of science, on nearly a daily basis," Trac says.
He joined a research project dually affiliated with the laboratory of Robert Langer, the David H. Koch Institute Professor at MIT, and the Center for Laryngeal Surgery and Voice Rehabilitation at Massachusetts General Hospital. The team is working on drug delivery for an injectable hydrogel developed to restore the flexibility of scarred vocal cords.
"People who use their voices very often, such as singers or lecturers, may scar and stiffen their vocal folds over time," Trac explains. "This hydrogel could restore the flexibility of the vocal folds, thereby restoring these individuals' voices."
Trac is now working to incorporate an anti-inflammatory drug called dexamethasone into the hydrogel. "Ideally, once the hydrogel is injected into the vocal cords, dexamethasone would slowly release over an extended period of time," he says.
Giving back
Over the last year, Trac has worked with MIT's Prehealth Advising office and the local chapter of the American Medical Student Association to implement a mentoring program connecting premedical students with alumni who have gone on to medical school all over the country. By its second semester, last fall, the program had attracted some 70 alumni mentors and more than 100 MIT undergraduates. "The solution just required talking to people, meeting people, getting people together to build a program," Trac says.
During his time at MIT, Trac has volunteered at a local high school and at a school in St. Louis for students with severe learning and behavioral problems. A few times a month, he goes on an outing with his "Best Buddy," an individual with an intellectual disability. "I thought it was a good way to improve someone's life on a one-to-one basis," he says.
Trac is also a mentor in the Boston Debate League, which helps disadvantaged youths recognize their own potential through debate — a message that resonates with his own story.
Though Trac's early years were difficult, the obstacles he's overcome have given him perspective and motivation, he says. "Occasionally, I think about this rare opportunity I have, to come to MIT to study, and I think I should cherish it and make the most of it," Trac says.
Another of his inspirations is closer to his heart: "My mother sacrificed a lot for me to do the things I'm currently doing, to actually attend college," Trac says. "I think that I can repay her sacrifices by giving the things I do my very best."

PROVIDENCE, RI — Brown University's dream of a new fitness center is about to come true.
The university received $20 million in gifts to build the planned 50,000 square-foot center. A university trustee and alumni, Jonathan M. Nelson, gave the lead gift with additional gifts from Fredric B. Garonzik, a trustee emeritus and alumni, and an anonymous alumnus who is also a trustee. The new center, called the Nelson Fitness Center, is named after the primary donor. A new center has been a priority for improving campus life at Brown and is expected to be built near existing athletic facilities.
Current fitness facilities include Meehan Auditorium, Pizzitola Sports Center, Olney-Margolies Athletic Center and the Smith Swim Center, but those are primarily used by athletic teams. The university also has three satellite fitness facilities with strength and aerobic conditioning equipment and stretching areas that are meant to complement the larger campus fitness center and offer students another option for exercise during the day.

Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro said he called the mother of one of his captives and told the woman her daughter was alive and had become his wife, according to a videotaped FBI interrogation.
Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro said he called the mother of one of his captives and told the woman her daughter was alive and had become his wife, according to a videotaped FBI interrogation.
Castro also told investigators that authorities missed opportunities to capture him while he held the three women captive for more than a decade in a house with boarded up windows where they were repeatedly beaten and raped.
Castro says in the video — obtained by NBC and first reported Friday on the "Today" show — that he told Berry's mother that her daughter was OK. He says he made the call on Amanda Berry's cellphone.
"I think I said something ... that I have her daughter and that she's OK, and that she's my wife now — something like that, you know, probably not the exact words," he told investigators.
When asked for the mother's response, Castro said: "I hung up so we didn't have a conversation."
Castro, 53, was a month into his life sentence when he committed suicide Tuesday night.
Castro also told investigators that authorities missed opportunities for catching him while he held the kidnapped women, who were ages 14, 16 and 20 when captured.
Castro told investigators that cameras at the school of victim Gina DeJesus should have captured him there 15 minutes before she was abducted.
"You could have broke the case right then and there," he said.
Castro said a girlfriend noticed a TV on in a room occupied by victim Michelle Knight and got him worrying he might be caught.
"Was it a close call?" an investigator said.
"Yeah," he said.
A message was left with representatives of the victims Friday morning.
NBC provided additional details about a 2004 note Castro wrote that investigators found when they searched the house. "I want to put an end to my life and let the devil deal with me," a section of the note read.
Two state reviews are underway, Ohio prisons spokeswoman JoEllen Smith said, one looking into the suicide itself, and the other is examining whether Castro received proper medical and mental health care leading up the suicide.
A representative of Castro's family was expected to claim his body Thursday, the Franklin County coroner said.
Castro was sentenced Aug. 1 to life in prison plus 1,000 years after pleading guilty to 937 counts, including kidnapping and rape, in a deal to avoid the death penalty. "I'm not a monster. I'm sick," he told the judge at sentencing.
Castro's captives — Berry, DeJesus and Michelle Knight — disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004. They were rescued from Castro's run-down house May 6 when Berry broke through a screen door.
Investigators said the women were bound, repeatedly raped and deprived of food and bathroom facilities.

Laurent doesn't play much of a role in the books, but this doll is the best of the three IMO. I love the faux leather jacket and the tight cords. He's even got the tops of his boxer shorts sticking up from above his belt.James is a serious predator. His outfit makes more sense to me. I don't understand why they describe him as "devilishly handsome." This doll is the only one out of all of Tonner's vampires that actually has a sickly pallor and could be a vampire.
Pictures above: Tonner Doll and Me! Mine is the second one of each pair of shots.When I saw these dolls at the reveal at the Tonner store last month I wondered why one would want the bad vampire dolls. Then again, why would anyone want vampire dolls in the first place? Logic does not belong in this discussion.
I understand the attraction to Edward as he is highly romanticized in the book. I have to admit that I read them all...at least I think I read them. They're like Chinese food. You're hungry again shortly after reading them. They are quick reading, not frightening (unless you know good literature) and possibly entertaining if you want to know what the teeny boppers are screaming about.
All I want from this trio is the clothes.
The suggested retail price for each doll is $179.00. Apparently between August and now, the price was raised by $20 per doll. Did the economy suddenly get better when I wasn't looking? You may be able to see the price on the cards of my photos. It says $159. These vampires exact quite a price, don't they?
Production is 1000 of each and they are due to arrive from the beginning of October through December.
Pre-Order at Cherished Friends for $153.

Finding opportunities in a dynamic marketDOWNLOAD PDF REPORT about 2017 M&A Global Outlook
With a number of promising drivers in place, we anticipate an active global M&A market in 2017, with deal volumes consistent with 2016 totals, as dealmakers around the globe continue to complement organic growth with innovative and transformative transactions.
Buoyed by strong fundamentals, a low cost of funding, and encouraging acquirer share price reactions to synergistic strategic fits, we expect dealmakers will continue to adjust to ongoing political and regulatory changes in the year ahead. In doing so, they may call upon their experience in navigating an uncertain landscape in 2016, one which despite volumes of $3.9 trillion, presented plentiful challenges for corporate decision makers in the form of geopolitical changes, heightened regulatory scrutiny and speculation around both Brexit and China.
While markets assess the effect of key global elections and regulatory changes, we expect 2017 to be driven by an ongoing active deal count rather than any meaningful increase in megadeals of more than $10 billion. Notwithstanding uncertainty, opportunities may emerge from potential new U.S. policies, such as proposed cash repatriation, corporate tax reform and more modest regulation.
We anticipate cross-border transactions will remain a feature of the M&A market in 2017, as companies continue to look to new regions to expand geographic reach and innovation capabilities. Key markets to watch include the U.K., where Brexit is likely to prompt companies to be more dynamic in their search for opportunities for expansion and growth; China, where outbound interest may be curbed by foreign jurisdictions seeking greater inbound reciprocity from China; and Japan, where a pickup in outbound M&A activity is anticipated, driven by uncertainty in local GDP growth.

We anticipate consistent deal volume, encouraged by low cost of funding and positive acquirer stock price reactions4, as companies look to complement modest organic growth through M&A.
The impact of 2016 electoral and referendum outcomes, in addition to a number of key global elections and administration changes slated for 2017, are likely to contribute to regulatory uncertainty.
As companies continue to look for strategic growth, new regions provide exposure to different economic, market and consumer dynamics.

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsHow To Engine
2010 Shelby GT500 L&M Airflow Dual Bore Throttle Body - No Tune Required - Tech
L&M Airflow's Dual-Bore S197 Throttle Bodies Pick Up Power And Don't Require Re-Tuning.
In 2005, Ford released an entirely new Mustang from its chassis to the drivetrain, and its popularity is amazing. Under the hood, most people focus on the improved modular motor with its three-valves-per-cylinder and variable camshaft timing. As you move to the Shelby GT500, the attention turns to its supercharged 5.4L and four valves per cylinder.
The combination of those powerful engines with the stellar retro-looks provided a combination that has been a huge success for Ford Motor Company. Once you get past the hype of the new engine configurations, you notice a system that is a huge departure from the norm-the drive-by-wire throttle body.
Drive-by-wire technology removes any physical connection between the gas pedal and the throttle body blades. The system relies on a sensor on the gas pedal to alert the ECU of the throttle position. The ECU then signals an electronic motor, which actuates the throttle blade(s) appropriate to driver demands.
Another benefit of the new throttle body is a healthy sized dual-bore inlet. The Three-Valve mod motor throttle body has two 55mm bores, while the Shelby GT500 comes with a twin-60mm setup. Both are far more generous than the old-school 5.0L pushrod engine, which used an anemic single-bore 55 or 60mm throttle body.
The large twin-bore throttle body on Three-Valves has proven to be quite reliable and sufficient in naturally aspirated, centrifugal supercharged, and turbocharged applications. We have seen little gains in those combinations by adding a larger throttle body, but that story changes when moving to Roots- and twin-screw-style superchargers. It's been proven time and time again that an increase in throttle body size can make a major difference in power with positive-displacement-style superchargers. According to longtime Mustang expert, legendary Pro 5.0 racer, and owner of L&M Airflow Systems Jim LaRocca, "The less pressure drop you can put in front of the blower, the more power you can gain."
As the popularity of Roots- and twin-screw superchargers increased, so has the need for bigger throttle bodies. It's not uncommon to see single-bore units that are well in excess of 120 mm and upwards of 160 mm. Those sizes certainly offer very little restriction on today's massive twin-screw blowers, but there are some drawbacks to the single-bore units and other aftermarket throttle bodies.
Due to the drive-by-wire technology, swapping a throttle body usually requires re-tuning the ECU. Tuning is necessary to calibrate the driver/computer demands to the amount of airflow needed or required by a throttle body that is different from stock. For example, if the computer doesn't know a larger-than-stock TB is installed, it will simply open the TB based on the driver's throttle position. In reality, the throttle body will now be flowing more air, and greater acceleration than is desired can occur.
Of course, re-tuning adds more cost and increases the time needed to modify your Mustang. However, L&M Airflow Systems, a new company formed by Jim LaRocca and Herman Minkin, has released a new line of dual-bore throttle bodies that require no additional tuning, and each offers significant airflow for better performance. "We didn't originally design the throttle body to start selling it-my partner, Herman Minkin, and I made a couple for ourselves," said LaRocca. This "fun" project turned into L&M Airflow Systems. "People started asking if we could make these new throttle bodies available to those that need a high-flow throttle body without the additional cost of a tune. It was then that we decided to go into the business of manufacturing them."
If you're scratching your head and wondering why swapping a throttle body requires retuning, the answer is simple. Since the computer controls the electric motor, it's calibrated for the stock throttle body blades, gears, airflow over the blades (open and closed), and airflow through the bores. It knows how much force to exert on the throttle blade to achieve a certain pitch. All those variables are changed when swapping to a new throttle body.
Larger throttle bodies allow greater airflow through the bores, as well as at idle, and even the gear characteristics are different (weight/material, lubrication, mesh, and smoothness) of different throttle bodies. The throttle body motor control can be corrected in the ECU tune, but it requires you take your car to the local chassis dyno and pay to have the re-flash. The L&M throttle bodies don't require the re-tune since they address those points of throttle blade movement, and most importantly, airflow.
LaRocca was the horsepower and tuning expert in the design phase, while Minkin brought his 35 years of aerospace experience to the table. They also brought in an engineer, Mike Long of G-Force Racing Transmissions/Long Machine and Tool, to streamline the manufacturing side of the equation.
Laminar airflow and velocity is critical in the aerospace industry, and the L&M team applied some simple techniques to create smooth, non-turbulent flow. To achieve the proper airflow, a vortex generator, more commonly known as a splitter, is added. "The vortex generator excites the air," said Minkin. "It's used on some airplanes to straighten and speed up the airflow forward of the control surfaces (ailerons, elevators, and rudder). We've performed airflow testing of the single-blade throttle bodies and found they experience dead airflow in the middle of the opening off idle, and then around 2,500 rpm. The airflow suddenly picks up speed and causes an rpm surge, which accounts for the off and on feeling that so many experience with this type of throttle body, as well as other driveability problems."
The airflow is also enhanced as it goes over the throttle blades due to the front of the L&M blade being chamfered. This technique was derived from airflow going into a jet engine. "It's about enhancing airflow and reducing/removing turbulence," Minkin explained. That was the first step in correcting the problems associated with using the factory throttle body motor controls with an aftermarket throttle body. The next was precision-cut Delrin plastic gears, similar to the factory gears, allowing a smooth control of the throttle blades that reduces the effort on the motor.
We tested two different sized L&M throttle bodies on a modified Shelby GT500-the twin-bore 66mm (LM66) and the twin-bore 72mm unit (LM72). Our test car appeared a few issues ago when Downs Ford Motorsport's technicians installed a Ford Racing 2.9L supercharger on Shay Varrone's '10 Shelby GT500. Out of the box, the blower helped bring output to a stout 675 rwhp with the Ford Racing tune, which left some power on the table due to its safe nature.
The car was tested on a DynoJet chassis dyno at Big Daddy Performance (Lakewood, New Jersey). Since that article, Varrone had Downs add American Racing Headers long-tube headers and H-pipe (with catalytic converters), larger injectors, and a custom SCT tune from Big Daddy Performance. In this trim, the GT500 blistered the chassis dyno with a stout 703 hp and 659 lb-ft torque at the wheels, which is our new baseline.
The car was equipped with a FRPP Cobra Jet twin-bore 65mm throttle body, which comes standard in the 2.9L twin-screw blower kit. Mike Rozman of Big Daddy Performance did a few back-up runs to ensure our baseline of 703 rwhp was consistent and within 2 rwhp each time.
The LM66 was bolted on and it laid down 726 rwhp and 671 rwtq, gains of 23 hp and 12 lb-ft. of torque. We also tested the LM72. According to LaRocca, it's for the guy who wants "a no-compromise throttle body as it flows more airflow than anything else on the market," stated LaRocca. The LM72 swelled output to 729 rwhp and 669 rwtq, but there is more to the story than those numbers.
The chassis dyno pulls were done on a hot and humid June day. Big Daddy Performance utilizes huge fans that blow on the engine and through the grill, but time was working against us for the LM72 runs. We let the car sit, but didn't use any ice in the cool-down process.
While the heat soak certainly hurt power, the amount gained with the L&M 72 managed to raise the horsepower and torque levels to a point past the Ford parameters, which caused the Mustang to throw a code. "Although the L&M throttle body by itself doesn't require any tuning changes," said Minkin, "the additional horsepower and torque might take the engine components or tune torque limit past their respective parameters, as was the situation in this case. A word of caution-you must be careful to know the power limits of all the components in your particular combination." But we are happy to report that both throttle bodies picked up power over the Cobra Jet throttle body, and driveability was smooth with a nice reaction to pedal movement and part-throttle cruising.
Those who are switching from an aftermarket throttle body to an L&M unit are required to have the ECU throttle controls returned to stock. All L&M twin-bore throttle bodies require the factory settings since it's designed as a no-tune stock replacement (with the exception of the torque limit in the tune, which must be modified for those wishing to exceed the factory rating). According to LaRocca, the LM66 will pick up anywhere from 30 to 50 rwhp on TVS-equipped GT500s, depending on the boost level. Cars with lower boost pick up in the 30-rwhp range, while higher boost combinations are closer to 50 rwhp.
L&M also offers a twin-bore 62mm (LM62) throttle body that is a direct bolt-on for 4.6L Three-Valve engines, and offers the same airflow enhancements and driveability gains. An adapter plate is available to fit the two Shelby-style throttle bodies on the 4.6L Three-Valve engine.
A twin-bore 78mm (LM78) is also in the catalog and is designed specifically for Kenne Bell 2.8H and 3.6L superchargers. For those who still wish to add a single-blade throttle body, L&M will have released two single-bore units, the Super Single (147mm x 66mm) and the Ultimate Super Single (152mm x 72mm), by the time you read this.
Technology might be advancing, but the same basic principle of getting air into an engine remains consistent. The L&M throttle bodies offer high-flow, which translates into more power and no tune required.

1948 Chevy Pickup Truck - Teal Bird
Kelban's '48 Chev
The saga of Steve Kelban of Parkville, Maryland, and his '48 Chevy started when a friend allowed him to use his barn and Steve began removing everything he didn't want on the truck.
Steve spent two years completing the rolling chassis because he had to teach himself about mechanics and welding. He cleaned up and boxed the original chassis, adding a Heidt's Mustang II front suspension with 2-inch drop spindles and power rack-and-pinion steering. QA1 Pro-System coils and GM 11-inch disc brakes completed the frontend modifications. The work added up to a 6-inch drop for the front of the truck from its former stance.
Out back, a disc brake-equipped Ford 9-inch rearend with 3.55 gears was suspended on GM springs. Cragar Series 61 wheels, 15x6 in front and 15x10 in back, were mounted on the chassis after being fitted with a set of Dayton rubber. Tire sizes are P205/60R15 fore and P295/50R15 aft.
Steve contacted Morris Engines in Morrisville, North Carolina, for the engine build. A '69 350 Chevy small-block was bored 0.030 over, and then balanced and blueprinted. Engine modifications include an Edelbrock RPM cam, Manley valves and Edelbrock lifters, GM double-hump heads, and 10:1 pistons. An Edelbrock Thunder Series 650 carburetor was mounted on an Edelbrock Performer intake for adequate breathing, and the ignition consists of a Mallory distributor and Taylor wires.
Steve used his newly acquired welding skills to make the exhaust system using Hooker block-hugger headers and Flowmaster mufflers. For trouble-free cruising, a Tuff Stuff water pump pushes coolant through a Griffin aluminum radiator.
Zoops pulleys and a dazzling assortment of engine bling from Billet Specialties topped off the engine phase of the project. A TCI TH400 Street Fighter transmission with a TCI 2,400 stall-speed converter was connected to the Ford rear by a custom-made driveshaft.
Having the engine work farmed out allowed Steve to devote his attention to the body, and although it was in pretty straight condition he had quite a few ideas in mind for custom bodywork. He ordered a new firewall, floor section, and toeboards from Bitchin' Products.
During the early part of the build Steve struck up a friendship with Jay Henry of Unc's Garage in Brooklawn, New Jersey. Steve told Jay he wanted the truck to be one of a kind and to look like it was built in the '50s, with body modifications that had not been done on trucks. Jay began by removing the dashboard and building a replacement, along with a console, from scratch. On the exterior he made subtle changes, adding body lines, frenching details, and adding flares to enhance the appearance.
The cab was chopped 2 1/2 inches, the bedsides were raised 3 inches, the top of the bedrails were flattened and the inside of the box was smoothed. Then the bed stake pockets were lengthened, smoothed, and then contoured to the running board splash pans.
Rear wheeltubs were constructed with additional pieces from a pair of identical fenders, and then cut and split to mirror the exterior fender lines. A rolled rear pan with frenched license plate was added, the two-piece hood was welded together and shaved, and the center tip of the hood was peaked, tapering from front to back, with the same body line continuing over the cab above the windshield.
Shark-gill scoops were installed on each side of the hood and flared out along the edges. Driprails on the cab were shaved and the rear window was frenched in with the opening flared around the edge.
Two '59 Cadillac taillights were stacked horizontally and frenched in each rear fender with a flared body line wrapping the opening and extended forward 9 inches. The headlights were done "Harley Earl style," Steve said, to resemble a '56 Chevy by extending the sheetmetal over the headlight with 3/8-inch steel rod used around the forward edge to create a small eyebrow and tapered toward the wheelwell.
Parking lights from a '56 Chevy pickup were centered and frenched below the headlights. Door handles were shaved, side window wings were removed, as was the protruding gas filler. The front bumper was cast aside in favor of one made from a '68 Camaro that was flipped upside down, cut in half, and shaped to the contours of the fenders and curvature of the grille.
Work had progressed for a year when Jay was diagnosed with cancer and passed away shortly after. Steve then found Gary Pozoulakis, owner of Auto Specialties in Rosedale, Maryland, who agreed to help Steve complete the scratch-built running boards and tailgate, sand the body, and spray on the PPG Torrid Teal finish over some gold pearl ghost flames, topping everything with several clear coats.
Steve called upon Pat's Upholstery in Essex, Maryland, to work their magic on the interior. Glacier White vinyl was used to cover Honda bucket seats and door panels with matching tuck 'n' roll inserts. Teal nylon carpeting was used on the floor. A LeCarra wheel tops the ididit steering column. Billet Specialties pedals replace the Chevrolet pieces, and Auto Meter instruments were mounted in the dashboard. A Vintage Air system provides plenty of comfort, while a Pioneer system serves up the tunes. A Lokar shifter and American Autowire kit rounded out the interior portion of the build.
After 9 long years it was time to get the truck on the road. Steve enlisted help from Larry Wooten at Wooten's Automotive to help him with his final punch list of things to do before the key could be turned in the ignition. Larry corrected mistakes made by Steve, checked all the mechanical work, and helped with the wiring. The truck was nicknamed Teal Bird, and that's how this long story ends.

Hampton Union, Friday, May 30, 2008

HAMPTON -- The New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources recently listed 12 additional properties in the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places. Among them is Marelli's Market in Hampton.
"All of us are thrilled with this honor and recognition from the state of New Hampshire," said Marcia Hannon, granddaughter of the late Luigi and Celestina Marelli. "Tons of research was done by my sister Karen, who found herself in libraries and at the county courthouse of records logging endless hours of discovery. She did a great job."
Hannon also praised the work of Christine Fonda Rankie, architectural historian at the N. H. Division of Historical Resources.
The history of the Marelli building dates from 1841 when it was built along the south side of Exeter Street, now known as High Street or the Exeter Road, and directly abutting the railroad tracks. In 1857, the building was the home of M.S. Akerman, the railroad station master. In 1889, the building was both a dry-goods store and a residence for the owner J.W. Mason. In 1892, John A. Towle was the owner of the building and it remained a goods store.
In 1900, the building was moved from Exeter Road, along with two other buildings, to its present location at 465 Lafayette Road, in order to create a new town center. In 1914, Luigi and Celestina Marelli established a market selling primarily produce and candies. Over the years, Marelli's has been known as an institution in the business district and a rare survivor of the small village markets that were once so plentiful. It is the longest continually operating business in Hampton Center.
Today Marelli's Market continues as a family business with Richard Marelli, the proprietor, and many family members still involved in its operation. Generations of townspeople have come to Marelli's to pick from its "Wall of Candy" and purchase cashews, for which it is most noted today. Marelli's Market is located in the center of downtown Hampton, directly across from the Gazebo at Luigi Marelli Square.
On hearing of the award from the state of New Hampshire to Marelli's, other residents expressed their delight.
"I remember as a kid, the ice cream counter in Marelli's right over here," said Glyn Eastman of Hampton, pointing to an area in the front of the store. "The old tin ceiling is still here, and there was a table and benches in the middle of the store where many locals came to have coffee and talk. It's good that you got the award!"
"Oh, that's great, after all these years, it's great!," exclaimed Mickey Wardle of Hampton.
Vicky Lessard of Hampton said she remembered when there used to be S.S. Pierce fine foods.
"I think it's great," Lessard added.
Peter Lucas said Marelli's is an institution.
"That's wonderful, it's fantastic," said Lucas, who owns a new plaza on Lafayette Road in Hampton.
New designs for plaques from the New Hampshire State Register of Historical Places are in the making and Marelli's Market will receive its plaque soon.

by: One Direction
After placing third in the 2010 season of Britain's The X Factor, five-member boy band One Direction inked a record deal with mega-exec/TV personality Simon Cowell and released their debut album, 2011's Up All Night. A global sensation, the album garnered several hit singles and sold millions of copies worldwide. It also faired pretty well with critics, who appreciated the band's mix of melodic songcraft and catchy, dance-oriented material that, while slickly produced, avoided the commercial cynicism and adult contemporary posturing of some of their '80s and '90s forebears. Rather than mess with a good thing, One Direction stick with this formula on the band's sophomore effort, 2012's Take Me Home. Once again working largely with Sweden's Carl Falk, Rami Yacoub, and Savan Kotecha, who produced Up All Night, One Direction deliver another immediately catchy mix of dancey pop that maximizes the group's shared lead-vocal approach and peppy, upbeat image. This album highlights even more than their previous one how much One Direction's mix of punchy guitars over snappy beats, handclaps, and bright synthesizers has in common with the positive, fun-loving tone of '70s bubblegum pop, as well as more contemporary bands like the Jonas Brothers and perennial guilty pleasure Hanson. Also added to the mix this time around are two songs ("Little Things" and "Over Again") co-written by British singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran, whose intimate folk-R&B aesthetic lends an air of maturity to One Direction's admittedly squeaky-fresh sound. The boys of One Direction also nab a few co-writing credits here, as does McFly's Tom Fletcher, whose contribution "I Would," a kind of in-spirit sequel to his Up All Night contribution "I Want," stands out as a considerably smart and infectious cut. Ultimately, tracks like the frenetically hyper "Kiss You" and the soundtrack-ready "Back for You" will, as with the rest of Take Me Home, certainly appeal to the group's rabid teen followers, and might even end up on their parents' playlist, too. [The Deluxe Yearbook Edition contains four extra tracks and an exclusive booklet with personal pictures of the band and interviews.] ~ Matt Collar

The loss of a loved one and grieving can cause mild depression. Using a diary can help you recover quicker.
I live on my own and have many lovely and caring friends, but even so I often find myself feeling lonely and tearful.
I have problems sleeping and often lie awake thinking very dark and scary thoughts.
Sports have always helped me to cope, but I am struggling with recent injuries that are taking long to heal.
I have also lost my job on two occasions and because things are so quiet at work at the moment, I am worried that it will happen again.

Grace Farrell, 35, an Irish woman who came to New York with big dreams of a career in art was found dead from exposure in front of St. Brigid's Church -- a church founded by Irish immigrants in the 1840s -- in the Lower East Village section of Manhattan on Sunday morning.
Farrell, who had slept though the bitterly cold night wrapped in thin blankets that provided her no protection from the biting wind, apparently died from exposure. A homeless friend named Tony, whom she had shared a meal with the night before, reportedly discovered her lifeless body at 8 a.m. on Sunday morning, according to the New York Daily News. New York Daily News.
She is believed to be the first person to die of the cold in New York this winter.
Farrell's body was discovered in an alcove area adjacent to St. Brigid's Church on Avenue B, a church that was founded by Irish people fleeing the Famine. After the discovery the police taped off the area on Avenue B between St. Brigid's Church and the next door school where homeless people often seek shelter during the night.
Farrell, originally from Co. Cork, arrived in the U.S. in 1993 at the age of 17 with a plan to study art here and make a name for herself in the city. But a growing alcohol dependency and a failed abusive marriage left her estranged from husband and son, who is now thought to be about nine years old.
Farrell's acquaintances added that she often told them her mother lives in the Bronx. But Farrell's former life seemed far away from her more recent one of sleeping rough in Tompkins Square Park and scrounging meals. In recent years she became a well-known face in the area.
Patrick Moloney, a Melkite priest who ministers in the area said there were many similar cases "There are a couple of girls deep into the abuse of prescription drugs, OxyContin and codeine, making cocktails," he said. "This is not the first time we've had a frozen person. There's one young man, I've seen him next to death, and he won't go in,"he told Jim Dwyer of The New York Times.
Orla Kelleher, the executive director of the Aisling Irish Center in Yonkers and also a member of the Irish Volunteers for the Homeless organization, said the homeless problem in New York is getting worse due to the recession.
"We have seen a noticeable rise in the number of homeless people availing of our services this year. They'd be people of all ages, from young people to people in their sixties," she told the Irish Voice.
"The majority of these people would not be Irish, but in many cases when we are given the name of someone who may need our help we find that it's often refused."
Shame about their circumstances, or fear that their plight will become better known, seem to prevent many Irish people in difficulty from accepting assistance when it is offered. Often there may be a drug or alcohol dependency to contend with as well, complicating the ability of social services like Irish Volunteers for the Homeless to offer lasting help.
"The majority of our work doesn't take us that far down into the city," says Kelleher of where Farrell died, "but we will go down if we're given any information suggesting we should. The thing to remember is that we will offer any help we can if we're asked."
The NYPD have confirmed that while the cause of Farrell's death is under investigation, her death is not being investigated as a crime.
"Every time I would make her smile, her eyes would change color, blue to green," an old boyfriend identified only as English told the Daily News.
"She'd wake up in the morning with the shakes. She had an addiction," he added.

Throughout the past couple years, there have been a few guys who I've been watching constantly in PWG and quickly became my favorites. Among those are Chris Bosh, Davey Richards, Kevin Steen and Alex Shelley. In May, PWG lost Alex Shelley as a full-time wrestler. Then in August, someone who's face I always picture when I think of PWG, Chris Bosh, takes an extended break from professional wrestling due to injuries. Now, Kevin Steen will be taking an extended break, who I'm not blaming in any way. I totally understand it and he will come back when he's ready.
I will alway support PWG and buy every DVD release. But my spirit would raise really high if Bosh were to return soon. I feel so down after all of my favorites left, and two from professional wrestling, period. What do you think the chance is of Chris Bosh returning soon? I know there has been no official word of retirement. So he's not retired. When do you think he will return? I think it would really add the extra flavor for PWG, the same flavor they've had for the past four years. I've been missing Bosh since August. I really hope he returns soon. I'll keep supporting PWG in whatever direction this goes. I just want Bosh back.

Looking back on 2010 I have so much to be grateful for and a lot of reasons I am truly blessed!
It was a year filled with many 'firsts' for the Little Miss which were so fun to watch and I fell in love with being a mom more than ever before.
I couldn't ask for a better stay-at-home job than my etsy shop - I've never had more fun 'working' and appreciate all the support I've received, especially from Husband.
I checked a goal off my list and learned how to crochet granny squares.
We announced that we're expecting baby #2 and couldn't be happier about it!
We celebrated the Little Miss' 2nd birthday...
...with a music themed party - she is growing up so fast!
I started documenting my baby bump progress.
We found out we are having another sweet little girl! Yay!
I had a slight obsession with felt which I used for handmade Christmas gifts (more to come on that).
I am also grateful for the creative outlet this blog gives me (thanks for stopping by and being a part of it and welcome if you're new!). I'm looking forward to sharing our happenings in 2011 - Happy New Year!
