Hi, and if I may, i'd like to post a sort of initial inquiry, as to whether any upper U. S. A. or Canadian Christmas tree plantation operators who happen to have BALSAM FIRS or other fir species, happen to be around. And would be willing, if applicable, to help me with information for my research project. (This post is going to need to be on the long side, just so anyone reading will know that in advance..._) Growers in other areas happening to have a lot to do with balsams or other firs (Abies_) species also of interest to me IF they happen to be in an area with wild blueberries by their site--nearby AND happening to find their blueberries getting the "witches broom" disease from firs (or it could be considered the blueberries infecting the firs_). This in the disease that makes "witches broom" disease growths on the BLUEBERRY BUSHES (NOT on the fir trees_)--looking, often, like small whisk brooms, either green and alive or dead. (This is "not" the disease that makes witches brooms on the FIRS and is sometimes called the same name. The "witches broom" disease i'm thinking of, is the other one, the one called Pucciniastrum goeppertianum, scientifically, or by another "popular" name besides witches broom, sometimes also known I guess as fir-blueberry rust; also I guess sometimes known as fir needle rust). I start out pointing toward far north growers, because I believe that they might be more likely to grow balsam firs, since they're native up here (and also possibly in some more southern mountain areas, I think, or some other firs might be wild there or grown there on plantations. Idaho and Colorado, too, I think, as to wild balsams_). Even more who might have experience, would appear to be northern wild blueberry growers who, I think, very often get witches broom disease of blueberries a lot in their wild blueberry farms. All of which is a lot of talking, toward the point which is The project I'm doing and have been doing for about fifteen years, is one that's working with this disease hoping to come up with some kind of answer, other than pesticides, to control it or better yet potentially start defeating it. I don't know if this disease is definitely a serious one with plantations that include firs such as balsams, but I did see it listed in a list of ten Christmas tree diseases and how to treat them. On the blueberry side, as blueberry growers may know,especially growers of the wild ones, to date no known existing cultivars seem to exist. And little or no treatment plan seems to be known (other than, if planting fresh, trying to locate away from firs. or,if running a wild plantation, eradicating the cohost firs nearby, either of which isn't necessarily that often possible.) If it might be any incentive or encouragement to help, either case, tree grower or blueberry grower, would a cure for this disease stand to be a real help to your farm and your industry? Working hard on it, and so if you have solid knowledge on this that I am lacking, I'd appreciate your sharing if you'd be willing to take a few moments ! Thank you. Sincerely, "mephisto," grower(of blueberries_)/experimenter in Massachusetts |

I was at a seminar this summer conducted by a plant pathologist from Michigan State University and he mentioned working closely with the Christmas tree growers in the state on various maladies. I will see if I can get a name for you. All I know of the disease is that Abies is the alternate host and it does cause yellowing of needles but I don't think it does much damage to the fir. tj |
Thank you, tsugajunkie. That's interesting about the rust you learned about, maybe causing little damage to the firs AND causing, though, yellowing of the needles. Both what I think tends to be the case with the one I'm involved with, the witches broom fungus (Pucciniastrum goeppertianum, scientifically. Maybe that pathologist in fact would know some key things I'm aiming to learn about. Of course or at least not surprisingly, there 'are' other rust diseases of fir trees. One, I read, has the Latin name Uredinopsis pteridis, and between its producing spores that can be cream colored (or white_) AND that the needles affected may naturally tend to turn brownish as they wither or die, I imagine the overall effect on the appearance of the affected firs, could be "yellowing" in this second disease, too. With the witches broom disease, the spores themselves on the fir cohost, seem to be reported to to be yellow colored. Home testing for now, right in a spare room I have which has a big sunlit window. Online pictures seem to tend to show mostly just little growths (spore cases and such, I think_) as what shows in general on infected spruce needles (except maybe, I think, at actual times of big release of the spores, when the spores themselves as they're being released, possibly add some color and noticeability). Here in wintertime, of course it's probably unlikely to be spore-release time, so, so far at least I'm thinking I'm going to sort of be having to , first, search for some somewhat damaged-looking needles or branchlets (a little yellowed or browned_) and then look very closely at the needles themselves and see if there are any of the little dot-like or nib-like growths growths on them. And if some little balsams do seem to have those growths, take them home and study some more to see if any of the balsams do in truth appear to have the disease. If so, then as soon as the blueberries have enough chill hours to bring inside (chill time needed or else they might not be able to sprout into growth once brought inside_)then--I think I've decided--time to begin the "final" testing! And of course continued study of the overall matter. |

Found the name I was after. Dr. Dennis Fulbright- Plant Pathology, MSU. tj |
For the followup from you, "Thanks" tsugajunkie a second time here, ; and I know and am sorry that it took me quite a while to reply here. Maybe I can gear up and try to write to him, maybe once I've decided whether I should , in advance, offer him "a little something" for an answer. It "is" in my situation, seemingly a fairly critical matter, that of whether or not the big balsam tree on my site--long long exposed to this fir-blueberry rust (Pucciniastrum goeppertianum)could have escaped contracting the disease from all the infected blueberry plants present. The more I think about it, the more I think it may be VERY likley that the balsam did get infected, probably decades ago. If so, AND if trees infected with the disease stay infected (seems quite likley) AND if it's highly likely that the sending out of disease spores by the balsam, would stand to have continued pretty steadily in at least somewhat substantial amounts of spores ever since (over what would probably be several decades or more) post-infection: THEN I think i'd be ready to conclude very or even maybe "very very" likely there's full immunity to this disease among my several blueberry specimens there showing no infection. So, again, therein lies the reason that some expert opinion about this, could be important to how I proceed...even though meanwhile I guess I'm pretty much looking to start testing at least a couple of the blueberry bushes "myself", if I can get hold of a couple infected young fir trees, to provide the spores for the test. I might even try to create my own infected fir seedlings, if I can get hold of some (try to create infected fir by growing some young firs and infected blueberry bushes indoors next to each other (in , I guess, a poly "tent" to concentrate disease spores). I've written to a couple state Christmas tree growers associations, hoping to find a christmas tree grower happening to have some blueberry bushes, wild ones maybe, next to firs he 's growing, especially young ones, in his plantation. Which I think might well mean infection of this disease happening with some of the blueberries and firs. |

George Ferguson Havre Daily News sports editor firstname.lastname@example.com
Even though the spring has yielded little in the way of good weather for track meets around the Hi-Line, some of Montana's best athletes still gathered in Glasgow for the annual Top 10 Meet. On Tuesday afternoon, several Havre Blue Ponies and other area athletes competed in the Glasgow Top 10 with plenty of success. The Havre boys had a strong day against strong competition, especially seniors Jason Mudrow and Kyle Finneman. Mudrow won both hurdle events and finished third in the high jump, while Finneman placed in the sprints. Mudrow captured the 110 hurdles with a time of 15.3 and the 300 hurdles with a time of 40.2. He also jumped 6-0 in the high jump. Meanwhile, Finneman, a former Class A state champion sprinter, placed second in the 100 meters with a time of 11.9 and fourth in the 200 with a time of 23.6. The Ponies also got a victory from Andy Keim in the 1,600 meters as he crossed the line in 4:48.2 and Robert The Boy finished second in the discus. HHS jumpers also had a solid meet, with Jack Teske finishing second in both the triple jump and the long jump, and teammate Mike Hickman finishing third in the long jump. Both of HHS's relay teams also placed in the meet. Harlem athletes also made a good showing on Tuesday. Kameron Gilham won the high jump event and placed fourth in the discus, while Isaiah Martin won the long jump and finished second in the high jump. Senior Rick Haluszka also finished second in both the shot put and the javelin. On the girls side, Havre got a second- place finish from Madison Ruff in the high jump and a third-place finish by Hannah Wells in the 300 hurdles. Ruff jumped 4-10 in place second, while Wells finished the high hurdles with a time of 48.0. Havre's 1,600-meter relay team also placed third overall. Other Hi-Line athletes that had a solid day in Glasgow included Chinook's Tia Bower who finished second in the 100 meters and third in the 200 meters. Harlem's Diana Buck also finished third in the long jump. The full HHS track teams will be back in action on Saturday when the Blue Ponies travel to Lewistown for the Fergus Invitational.

I just checked out this book called Their Finest Hour by Churchill and it's about World War II, yet when I was researching Winston Churchill online, I found sites that listed all the books he wrote and I don't see this one. Can anyone clear this up?
How tall was Winston Churchill ?

Learning about scholarships and conducting an effective search can be a challenging exercise. With all of the information on the Internet and in those massive scholarship books, it is easy to be overwhelmed and not know where to start. Last time, I wrote part 1 of this two-part series with five scholarship secrets that every parent should know, and today I'll wrap up with four more (and a bonus) that are just as important as the others.
Look Outward. Most of the discussion last time focused on the scholarships offered by your chosen college or university. Those are generally the best foundation on which to build your scholarship search. In addition, there are thousands of scholarships worth billions of dollars available for the taking. Some of these are very competitive, some have few applicants. As you begin your outward look, consider groups or social organizations that you or your child are involved in and your employer or your child's employer first. Move on to affinity-based offerings linked to race, gender, your child's major, where you live, a specific handicap or disability, military service, and others. There's a lot of work to do in this phase of the search but there are a lot of scholarships to be had.
Don't Overlook The Small Stuff. It's easy to think that you'll aim for the big scholarships, and those are certainly worth applying for. But, don't limit your search to just those. A plethora of $250, $500, and $1,000 one-time scholarships are out there which can add up quickly. Go crazy in applying for these small awards. It's the difference between hunting elephants and hunting rabbits. Elephants rarely come along, but rabbits are everywhere. While you can feast on an elephant, if you miss them you're going to go hungry.
Take That Test Again. The entrance exam, either the ACT or SAT, is a critical component of the admissions and scholarship selection process. If the scores from the first round are not what you might have hoped for, you are not stuck with those results. You may retake the exam as many times as you choose to pay for, and your college will take your highest score into consideration. My recommendation is to take the exam three times, as outlined in my post titled Entrance Exams. To prepare, take some practice exams to understand the types of questions being asked and to get a feel for how much time is allotted to each section. Also, get some help. There are companies and tutors that will help you prepare for the exam, and if you can bump your score by a few points then you might get over that hurdle to receive a merit scholarship. That would be money well spent.
You Are Responsible For Your Results. Related to one of the earlier secrets, scholarships don't just show up at your doorstep. Neither your child's guidance counselor nor their high school teachers will be sending in scholarship applications for you. The search and application process is tedious and time consuming as most scholarships have different qualification criteria, application requirements, and deadlines. Waiting till the last minute to begin applying is the worst approach to the scholarship search as you'll simply be overwhelmed. The best way to go about this is to begin early, plan out your process, and do some of the work each week.
BONUS SECRET – Scholarships Aren't The Only Option. If your scholarship coffers come up short, don't despair. College is still affordable without savings, scholarships, or student loans. While it takes some effort, your son or daughter can work and pay as they go. If there aren't funds to start today, then take a year off, work, and save up money to start. Maybe the first two years can be spent at a local community college. Either way, lack of scholarships does not spell the end of your college career. I have a post on the reality of working your way through college, and Zac Bissonnette has an excellent book, Debt Free U, on this topic which you can pick up by clicking on my Amazon affiliate link above at no extra cost to you.
That's it! Ten little secrets – lots to do but little to remember. Scholarships are there for the taking, and for parents and students who are intentional about the process using these steps the harvest can be plentiful.
Application Question – Are you and your child spending enough time on scholarship searches? Could you retake the entrance exam and improve your score? Have you begun to talk about a contingency plan? Share your thoughts below.

That means your body lacks proper production of the enzyme "lactase." I understand. You probably don't like cheese, the same as I don't like fish. I am allergic so it gives me nausea and... But even if i could eat it, with no symptoms I wouldn't.
But if you do like cheese, just not the symptoms, here is a useful guide: Lactase It's a quick worthwhile read from a severely intolerant Doctor. |

Steve Riley And The Mamou Playboys: Tiny Desk Concert
You are missing some Flash content that should appear here! Perhaps your browser cannot display it, or maybe it did not initialize correctly.
Mon, 07 Mar 2011 09:00:00 -0500
This Mardi Gras will be a bittersweet celebration for Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys. For 23 years, accordionist Steve Riley has been making music with his friend and fiddler, David Greely, but this Mardi Gras will be their last together. Greely is leaving the Mamou Playboys to save his ears; the loud volume of dancehall shows has been harmful to his hearing, and his doctor has told him that he needs to stop. So this Tiny Desk Concert is one of his last shows with the Grammy-nominated Cajun band.
Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys make sweet Cajun music together: music steeped in the French heritage of southwestern Louisiana and driven by accordion and fiddle. It's sweetly melodic, danceable music with origins in French-Canadian history that dates back to the 1760s — think of it as their country music. Over the last 23 years, there have been 11 Mamou Playboys records; the latest, Grand Isle, is self-released. In the album's title track, Greely finds more that's bittersweet to sing about: Grand Isle is not only the place he loved most as a child, but it's also a place hit hard by the gulf oil disaster last spring.
Come Mardi Gras this week, the band will play its last dancehall together. During this visit to NPR, Greely joked about putting together an acoustic tour of office spaces. If such a thing would keep this great team together, I'd say it's not a bad idea. Copyright 2011 National Public Radio. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.

As 2013 ushers in the Year of the River, many stories will be told of commercial traffic on the Wabash River. For example, in 1853 a record number of 108,833 traveled from Vigo County to points south, and steamboat traffic was at its peak.
The early 20th century brought a great interest in excursion boats. The "Defiance" made trips to the Chautauqua at Merom. In 1913, the "Rainbow" began making the 15-mile trips from Terre Haute to Governor's Island in Clinton, north of where the Railroad Bridge stands. Its dance pavilion and picnic tables made it a popular destination, so other excursion boats were added during the 1920s to accommodate the crowds.
The engine on the "Reliance" pushed the "Reliable" as hundreds of passengers traveled to Governor's Island for a day of dancing or picnicking. High school graduating classes, Terre Haute saloonkeepers and their families, and other businesses and church groups were among those who took the excursion boats for an enjoyable day's outing.
In "An American Hometown," historian Tom Roznowski wrote that the barge was decorated with a string of colored lights, and musicians were on board to play for those who wanted to dance on their return trip. However, the good times came to an end in 1930, when the Army Corps of Engineers decided to cease regularly dredging the river, making it impossible for barges to navigate it.
An R.B. Hape photograph in the Vigo County Historical Museum's archives shows crowds of people, dressed in their Sunday best, preparing to board the "Reliance" and "Defiance," and it gives a glimpse into the glory days of the Wabash River.

The Joy Lady: What kind of promises does a God like ours deserve?
I should have known better. I did everything I could to make sure it didn't happen, but it did anyway. I trusted someone — and when that someone didn't do as promised, I was disappointed. I felt betrayed. How dare they not do what they said they would do?

Linking Techniques – What You Need to Know About Link Building
If you're new to link building, here's a brief explanation of how we do linking campaigns and what type of links we get.
Let's start with an example. Let's say your start a business selling stereo speakers. Thus, your main or primary keyword for the site is likely to be "stereo speakers". Some quick research shows that the term "stereo speakers" gets around 254 searches a day on the major search engines. Thus, you want your site to rank well for this term to grab some of that traffic.
How do you rank your site for the term "stereo speakers"? While having on-page optimization (title-tags, content, etc…) is important, the biggest factor in ranking you well is link building. So, to start, we may write an article about stereo speakers with a link from that article to your site. The key is to have the anchor text be the words "stereo speakers".
If you have a link to your site that is yoursite.com at the bottom of the article, that will not do you much good for ranking for stereo speakers. You must have a link that says "stereo speakers" pointing to your site. For example, here is a short paragraph about the keyword with a link to your site:
"Are you looking for great value, high quality stereo speakers that give you great sound at a great price? Shopping online may be difficult with all the choices, but with a little research you may be able to find the right stereo system for you room."
Having the link text with your keyword is essential to ranking well for your desired keyword. However, if you have a bunch of links pointing to your site with the words "stereo speakers", Google is likely to penalize your site. Therefore, you'll want to vary the link text with keywords such as "quality stereo speakers", "stereo speakers on sale", "getting a stereo speaker", etc.
The point is to make the linking look as natural as possible, as people would normally have the link text to your site in a variety of different ways. Even using links such as "click here" or "go to this site" sporadically is a good idea.
Another important part of link building is getting links from relevant sites or content. A link is viewed as much more important if it is coming from a page that is related to your site. That is why article distribution or blog writing and commenting is a powerful technique. Links from these methods will be on a page that is on topic and surrounded with good content and synonyms to your keyword.
Getting links from websites with high Page Rank (or PR for short) will help increase the authority of your site and raise your own Page Rank. PR is a method Google uses to show how important a site is. It is on a scale from 0-10, with 0 being the lowest and of almost no importance to 10, which only a few select sites on the internet have attained (like Google's homepage). Your PR will rise when you have more links pointing to your site or if the sites linking to you have a high page rank. Though page rank does not have too much affect on your rankings, we still strive to raise your page rank with the number of links we get and the places we get them. A high page rank site is also crawled by the search engines more often so new content and products will be picked up much quicker to be displayed on the net.
Lastly, getting links from authority sites also increases your rankings. These include .gov and .edu websites that have a lot of PR, links, and popularity. Large sites such as Apple.com and Yahoo.com are also seen as authority sites. Interestingly enough, one link from apple.com was enough to shoot a website to the number one spot on Google for a competitive keyword. As you can see, authority links can tremendously increase your rankings if you can get links from these websites.
Link building can be somewhat of a technique and time consuming process. Though we applaud people who strive to link build and learn the methods themselves, we find many clients don't have the time or resources to consistently link build. With our Monthly Maintenance Packages or Guaranteed SEO Packages, we can start a powerful linking campaign that will shoot your site to the top of search engines and keep them there.
www.tizish.com – In this video I go over some link building techniques that I've received several questions on recently. Mainly having to do with paid directory submission and blog commenting link building schemes that cost you money and actually end up hurting your SEO. So watch this and make sure you don't do this as part of your real estate link building. This video is part of the Ultimate Real Estate Link Building Guide found here www.tizish.com

From: | Florent Thévenet |
Subject: | [Solang-devel] New User Interface for Solang |
Date: | Sat, 05 Jun 2010 00:09:37 +0200 |
Hi Solang users, I'd like to share an idea I had, to create a simpler, nicer UI for Solang. It's based on the idea that what you want from a photo manager is viewing your photos and viewing information about theses photos. To view your photos correctly you need : large space to display the photos, easy way to go to The photo you want to view. Then information like EXIF tags, histogram, geomarking... could be displayed where it doesn't take too much space; as screens are rectangular a sidebar is a good idea. So here's the first mockup : http://feuloren.free.fr/01_tags.png No more toolbar, it takes too much spaces on the screen and is not so useful. I replaced it by a "magic bar" inspired by both apple iPad's photo application and Solang's search basket. When you launch Solang, there are some radio buttons to choose the way you want to find your photos : *all photos ordered by date *photos grouped by tags *grouped by events, faces... When you "open" (double-click on) a group, Solang displays the photos of this group and the magic bar change to something like that: http://feuloren.free.fr/02_tag_selected.png The "Tags" button let you go back to the "main page", next button is the tag you've just selected, then a "+" because the magic bar is exactly like solang's search basket : you can add several filters to get particular photos. Filters have a contextual menu: http://feuloren.free.fr/03_tag_menu.png When you save a set of filters a "Saved Searches" category is added to the main page: http://feuloren.free.fr/04_searches.png Finally the "enlarged-renderer" : http://feuloren.free.fr/05_img_view.png A button to go back to browser, previous/next buttons, a button to start a slidehow, another one to go fullscreen (dunno if it's really necessary). Thanks for reading, tell me what you think about it, if it's a good idea or if it's not what you need from Solang. Cheers -- Florent Thévenet <address@hidden>

BROCKPORT, N.Y. -- The College at Brockport campus came together to remember 18-year-old Alexandra Kogut, the freshman student from New Hartford who was killed over the weekend.
Police say Kogut's boyfriend, Clayton Whittemore, 21, is charged with beating her to death.
The school estimates more than 1,000 people, including Kogut's uncle, gathered for a private vigil in the school's boardroom Monday night. The school's president urged students to use the counseling center for support, or to learn more about domestic violence.
The school will hold a walk on Wednesday and present guest speakers on domestic violence.

Crystal Antlers may call Long Beach, Calif., home, but they don't share much with the city's sunnier fare. Instead, the Antlers tread murkier territory, incorporating apocalyptic imagery and nostalgic organ sounds into stormy, unrefined basement rock. With the debut this past spring of full-length Tentacles—and the financial struggle of current label Touch And Go—behind them and a self-released tape ahead, the future is blurry, but promising, for the Antlers. In advance of the group's show Friday at Empty Bottle (opening for The Big Pink), vocalist-bassist Jonny Bell spoke with The A.V. Club about creepy music teachers, strange stages, and how much the band doesn't aspire to be like The Mars Volta.
The A.V. Club: Crystal Antlers formed out of a music class where the teacher was arrested for child molestation. Whatever happened to him?
Jonny Bell: I don't think that he ever got convicted. It happened several times. He was the choir teacher also and would try to show people where their diaphragms were. That was his move. It was mostly inappropriate touching. He did eventually get fired. I actually went to go make flyers one time and he was working at the copy store that I go to, and it was totally strange.
AVC: Did he find out that a successful band came out of his class?
JB: I'm not sure if he knows. He knew that we were playing in different bands at that time, but he hated what we were doing. Strangely enough, another band called Avi Buffalo that just signed to Sub Pop were also in the same class. We ran into them at a festival and were talking about it.
AVC: What are your feelings on Touch And Go shuttering their massive distribution side?
JB: It's just a real unfortunate situation. We've been doing things on our own for a while. We put out two 7-inches and our EP ourselves. It was a big step to decide to sign to a label. Everyone that worked there was amazing. It was like family. We were looking forward to working with them for a long time. Then, they were putting pressure on us to finish our record, we finished, [and] when we went out on tour a few weeks later, they called and told us they were going out of business. It was heartbreaking because we hoped that signing to a label would help us a lot. At the same time, it's sad to see such a big thing in the indie world not be able to put out new music.
AVC: Did you have any idea that this was going to happen?
JB: We had no clue whatsoever. No one that worked there did either. Basically, Corey [Rusk, label owner] looked at the books and decided that it wasn't working anymore. It was just a surprise to everyone that worked there as it was to us. Some people had been working there for 20 years. Their whole life was wrapped up in this label.
AVC: Do you have any ideas for your next label?
JB: Right now, we're still working with Touch And Go because we're touring on the record they put out, although there isn't a staff there anymore. We're going to be putting out a tape for this tour. We're going to do that ourselves. If something interesting comes along, we may go for it, but we may not go for another label. It depends on what somebody can do for us.
AVC: The band has played shows at many different places: a wedding, a video store, a biker festival. What else have you played?
JB: We've done a few birthday parties, a couple of motorcycle rallies for a motorcycle gang. We just did this event that was really cool: This folk singer from 1970, Linda Perhacs, had her first-ever live show and she asked us to cover one of her songs. That was special.
AVC: What environments do you work best in?
JB: We work best in environments that are most similar to the way we grew up playing shows and the way we practice. We practice in a living room. It feels most natural playing a house party. The more intimate, the more natural it feels. At the same time, there have been big festivals. We played at the Primavera festival in Barcelona and it was 6,000 people. It felt really comfortable.
AVC: You've expressed a distaste for Crystal Antlers being called prog-rock.
JB: Yeah. It's not what we are at all. People that play prog-rock are probably a lot better at their instruments. It seems like a cerebral thing. Most of our music is just feelings. It's not that contrived. I cringe thinking about Rush and bands like that.
AVC: Why did you employ Mars Volta keyboardist Isaiah "Ikey" Owens to produce your EP then?
JB: [Laughs.] Well, Ikey hates prog-rock, too.
AVC: What's he doing with a band like The Mars Volta?
JB: The other guys in the band probably like prog-rock more than he does. He's just playing in a band that's he committed to. That had nothing to do with our project. He met us on a level where we were talking about old soul, rap, and things like that.
AVC: One review of Tentacles compared you to At The Drive-In, saying that if you got famous too fast, you'd split up and one result might be The Mars Volta.
JB: [Laughs.] Everyone's got the right to pontificate, even if I don't think that's correct.

For the Dulwich Street Art Festival – Baroque the Streets – several artists were invited to paint murals that are based on a painting from the Dulwich Picture Gallery. In addition to those murals MADC also painted a house in Lordship Lane outside and inside. The wall she painted is situated in Belair Park, right next to West Dulwich station. Therefore she decided to use one of Jan van Huysum's flower paintings as a base. For the room inside the house, MADC decided to use the whole space, rather than just painting the walls. There's a film on her short trip as well as a bunch of photos after the jump!

His 'code name' could be mistaken for the name of a rifle: P183. In April 2013 the russian graffiti artist has died in the age of 29. Pavel won recognition as the creator of provocative art works scattered across Moscow. The details and conditions of the 'Russian Banksy's' death will not be released, the production company Pavel worked for, said in the statement. Preliminary theories, however, rapidly spread online with people saying that the graffiti artist hanged himself. At the same time the media, referring to street art group '310', said he was poisoned. Not much known about the artist who preferred not to disclose his name and signed his works like P183, besides his name – Pavel Pukhov – and age 29. P183 went international after several British, American and French dailies published photographs of his works, saying his 'guerilla' tactics of painting street murals were similar to those used by iconic British nonconformist Banksy. However, P183 didn't take the comparison as a compliment, noting he had been shaping his signature style for the past 14 years. The mysterious figure, allegedly in his late 20s, preferred to cover his tracks and hide his face with a black balaclava to remain anonymous. A can of spray paint never failed him, helping the up-and-coming artist share his ideas with those who kept their eyes wide open. In february 2013 the Street Art Museum St.Petersburg offered P183 to do a small project in the Museum. March 10th 2013 the artist completed his exhibition at the Museum and went back to Moscow. The street art movement lost a true and very interesting character and will not be forgotten, Rest in Peace

Chicago mobster Calabrese's jewels estimated at $500,000
Jewels and watches seized from Chicago mobster Frank Calabrese Sr will sell on July 10-24
Paul Fraser Collectibles, Wednesday 27 June 2012

A vast collection of jewels, watches and rare coins will appear in an online auction from July 10-24, after being confiscated from Chicago mobster Frank Calabrese Sr in 2009.
The hoard was discovered - along with guns and cash - in a secret stash hidden behind a family portrait at Calabrese's home in Oak Brook, Chicago. Following the raid, the 75-year-old mobster is now serving a life sentence, having been convicted of racketeering and 13 murders.
Calabrese had once belonged to The Outfit, Al Capone's infamous crime syndicate, before being brought down by his own son, who testified against his father as a means of escaping the gang.
The collection includes more than 250 diamonds, earrings, rings and luxury watches as well as a selection of rare coins, including the coveted 1927 St Gaudens $20. A man of taste, Calabrese certainly knew how to compile a neat collection, boasting watches from luxury brands such as Piaget and Baume et Mercier.
The stand-out item from the stash will be an 8.64 carat loose diamond, which will auction with a starting bid of $133,700. Official estimates have not yet been set for any of the items, although the entire sale will realise in excess of $500,000.
The mobster has already seen some of his items sell well, after an auction of Calabrese's banknotes raised $245,860 in August 2011. The collection featured scarce, yet popular, $500 and $1,000 bills from the 1928 and 1934 series Federal Reserve Note issues.
Paul Fraser Collectibles expects the items at the July auction to sell with similarly strong results, their values boosted by their fascinating yet grizzly past. We are currently offering this gruesome memorabilia collection from Albert Pierrepoint, Britain's most famous hangman.
Check back with Paul Fraser Collectibles over the coming weeks for the latest results from this memorable sale.

A Swedish documentary filmmaker released a film last year called"Last Chapter—Goodbye Nicaragua." In it he admitted that he unknowingly facilitated a bombing, almost certainly orchestrated by the Sandinista government of Nicaragua, which took the lives of three reporters I worked with in Central America. One of them, Linda Frazier, was the mother of a 10-year-old son. Her legs were torn apart by the blast, at La Penca, Nicaragua, along the border with Costa Rica, in May of 1984. She bled to death as she was being taken to the nearest hospital, in Ciudad Quesada, Costa Rica.
The admission by Peter Torbiornsson that he unwittingly took the bomber with him to the press conference was a window into the sordid world of espionage, terrorism and assassination that was an intimate part of every conflict I covered. It exposed the cynicism of undercover operatives on all sides, men and women who lie and deceive for a living, who betray relationships, including between each other, who steal and who carry out murder. One knows them immediately. Their ideological allegiances do not matter. They have the faraway eyes of the disconnected, along with nebulous histories and suspicious and vague associations. They tell incongruous personal stories and practice small deceits that are part of a pathological inability to tell the truth. They can be personable, even charming, but they are also invariably vain, dishonest and sinister. They cannot be trusted. It does not matter what side they are on. They were all the same. Gangsters.

Closing Costs: How to Avoid a Last-Minute Surprise
Closing costs are a standard part of every home purchase, but a good real estate agent can help you avoid any unpleasant surprises
Don't let the term "closing costs" mislead you. You'd do well to think about them before you start house-hunting, not after you've made an offer on your dream home. There's one good reason for this: You might have wiped out your savings with the down payment, leaving you with no cash to pay the long list of fees associated with securing your loan. Depending on your lender, closing costs can include fees for the loan application, costs of document preparation or appraisal, a credit report, wire transfers, a title search, title insurance, a property survey, municipal fees, tax stamps and many other charges, and they add up quickly. Closing costs on a $200,000 house in Bankrate.com's annual national survey averaged $3,741 in 2011, with New …

What is a graphic novel? Well, that seems to be open for debate also; but, the quick answer is that a graphic novel is a book or novel length comic book. Some of them are collections of serialized comic books. This is especially true with superheros and some of the science fiction comics. Many graphic novels are original publications, never before serialized.
Our library has graphic novel collections in the Children, Teen, and Adult sections of the library, with the largest section housed in the Teen area on the second floor. We have a very diverse collection ranging from the traditional superhero genre to original graphic novels to manga. Please ask a reference librarian if you'd like additional information.

"Special Session" of Ludocracy Now
(I am already congratulating myself for using a legislative pun)
A good friend of mine came up from Madison, WI and I forced her to play Lost Cities with me. I will say this: As crummy as the political action of our state legislature is this biennium, my friend had mentioned how she had gone to a party where they were playing a game called citadels. This is not a board game I would expect people to know about let alone organize a party around. There is hope for humanity.
Anyway, we got in two trial rounds of Lost Cities followed by two three-round games. I won the trial rounds 45 to -10 then 87 to 12; I was killin' it.
However, she must have been sandbagging because I lost the first official game 38 to 48, 16 to 20 then 33 to 25 for a final score of 87-93.
After a trip to cub and some Havarti grilled cheese sandwiches, we pulled out the deck again and this time I actually used the strategy of drawing from the discard deck (side note, we realized we weren't discarding correctly…) to win 59-41, 46-27, 39-16 total of 144-84. I'm a baller.
I'm already bored by this update and I bet you are too.

GREEN COVE SPRINGS - Clay County commissioners threw out a proposed ordinance regulating mobile vet clinics and similar merchants Tuesday, but will consider a less-restrictive replacement intended to resolve consternation and controversy among county pet lovers as well as local veterinarians.
The commission in an unanimous vote dismissed the original proposal, denounced as draconian and anti-competitive by mobile vet clinic operators and their supporters.
Then in a 4-1 vote, the commission agreed to consider a replacement proposal, which the majority deemed fair to mobile pet clinics and the county's brick-and-mortar veterinarians whose complaints triggered the months-long dispute.
Commissioner Ronnie Robinson dissented, saying the county "should just drop this" because the ordinance is unnecessary.
Public outcry
The replacement proposal resulted from a public outcry from county pet owners and caretakers who said they rely on the mobile clinics for low-cost care for their animals.
Commissioner Diane Hutchings said the proposed replacement ordinance addresses many of the concerns voiced by the owners and supporters of Cheap Shots Inc., a Jacksonville-based mobile pet clinic that regularly comes to Clay County.
Applying only in unincorporated areas, mobile businesses would be allowed to operate within commercial zoning districts consistent with state law. The businesses would have to get a county permit, which would be valid for one year.
The permit would allow the mobile business to operate at a site no more than once every two weeks, and for no more than four hours at a time.
The county Planning Commission will take up the measure March 5 and issue a recommendation.

Mike Tate and Kao Vang went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed to make the move as easy as possible. Kukos to Merced U-Haul
Special thanks to both Mike Tate and Kao Vang for their help. The U-Box is the easiest and cheapest way to move long distance. Sure beats driving a truck for 2 days.
I keep getting billed for a storge unit I closed out. I should have gotten 30 days free per my contract and yet I keep getting billed and no one knows how to fix it!!

Dear Access Board:
I want to voice my strong opposition to the draft proposals for detectable traffic signals at pedestrian intersections. I can not think of a bigger waste of taxpayer money. The Mandates required will not make much difference and in some cases could make intersections more dangerous because of the conflicting sounds being emitted.

London-based, Turkish-born fashion designer Hakaan Yildirim has been forced to cancel
his spring/summer 2013 show due to take place during Paris Fashion Week after his entire collection was lost by a courier company.
The show was set to take place today at 1.30pm on the penultimate day of the Paris schedule but a representative from Karla Otto, the fashion PR company that represents the brand, confirmed the news that the pieces were lost in transit from London to Paris. Adding that the fashion house was currently in the process of re-making the show pieces to be shown to fashion press at a later date.
Hakaan has been on the Paris schedule since scooping the prestigious ANDAM Award in 2010, and last season saw the likes of Joan Smalls and Karlie Kloss walk the catwalk.
This isn't the first time that a courier has lost a collection, last November samples from Marc Jacob's spring/summer 2012 collection were stolen in transit from Paris to London.

I was hopelessly in love with this on my first tin. It has this thick "bready", malty warmth that seems to be at odds, yet nonetheless, works so beautifully with the tropical fruity wave of sunshine.
I had my first cup of this while beginning BBC's Sherlock with my older sister on a cold January evening. It was so wet and damp outside and nothing seemed more comforting or soothing than this tea. I steeped that first cup for all it was worth and drank as much as I could in the span of two episodes of Sherlock. I even got a giant mango piece. I love mangoes most of all.I was so enamored that, when I finally ran out,I bought it a fancy blue tin. Bliss was the world.
Now it's almost a whole year later. I'm on my second tin of this and the mangoes are all gone. Sherlock's gone too. Nothing is as good as it used to be and I don't even want to re-steep the cup I have in front of me. I'm typing up a fifteen page essay. I should want to procrastinate! but I don't. Maybe it's the lack of mangoes, maybe the lack of Sherlock, but this just tastes like malty fake fruit fuzz now.
Oh, happiness, where did you go? Is it just me or can I blame another one on university papers? Why don't I desire to repurchase you anymore? The world is cruel.
Self-pity, off. Please make a third season of Sherlock. Also, mangoes.

DALLAS (AP) - The Texas attorney general's office says new DNA testing in the case of a Panhandle man on death row for a New Year's Eve triple-slaying doesn't support his alternate theory of the crime.
Hank Skinner once came within an hour of execution for the 1993 killings of Twila Busby and her sons in Pampa, about 50 miles northeast of Amarillo. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has stayed his execution, and both sides in June mutually agreed to new testing of evidence in the case.
The attorney general's office said in a court advisory Wednesday that DNA results so far don't support Skinner's theory that an alternate suspect - Busby's uncle - committed the killings.
Skinner attorney Rob Owen says in a statement that DNA testing was still in progress.

Christmas Eve visit from grandson proved costly for grandmother
Travis Hager, 20, who police say is homeless, also was arrested for stealing a .22 caliber handgun in an unrelated incident on Feb. 8.
He is charged with four counts of identity fraud, seven charges each of forgery and theft by deception, and one count of theft by unauthorized taking.
The investigation began when Hager's father went to police in mid-January to report the theft.
Det. David Dupont later met with the grandmother JoAnne Hager, 71, of 634 Auburn St. who told him she discovered her credit card was fraudulently used at area ATMs. It happened, she said, after a Christmas Eve visit from her grandson.
She learned someone went online and established a pin number for the card through the company's website.
She also discovered several other personal checks were missing as well.
Police said Hager used the credit card to obtain $940 in cash from ATMs and forged seven of his grandmother's checks and cashed them for just over $1,000 at various banks.
During the investigation, Dupont also identified Hager as a suspect in the Feb. 8 theft of a gun from the 329 Concord St. home of an acquaintance of his.
On Wednesday, police set up surveillance of the 600-block Prescott St. neighborhood after learning Hager was staying in one of the residences. Officers spotted him about 1:30 p.m. leaving one of the residences with several other people. He got into a vehicle which drove off but police pulled it over after it went only several blocks. Hager was arrested without incident.
He was not in possession of the stolen gun, but police said he did have ammunition on him consistent with the .22 caliber handgun.
