TODAY | November 30, 2012
>> nuky powerball winners. kerry sanders is in missouri where we'll learn the identity of the state's newest multi-millionaire in a morning.
>> reporter: the story of the winning ticket sold right here at this gas station is yet to be fully be told, but we do have some details. we know that the family will claim half of this $587 million has lived here in dearborn for generations, and their winning numbers were on a ticket that cost $10. dearborn is a small town where everyone knows everyone. and where this woman who asked that we not lose her last name told us her daughter-in-law bought five tickets for $10 but waited until late thursday morning to check the numbers.
>> so she goes out to the car and says, well, i guess i'll check it, so she was looking at it and she says is that a 5 or a 6, i just couldn't see. she said i think it is a 6. she came by here and was shaking when i opened the door.
>> reporter: at the trex mart off interstate 89 where the ticket was sold, those who have known the couple since the husband was in boy scouts say a more deserving couple could not have won.
>> probably couldn't happen to a better guy.
>> reporter: husband and wife who have already shown their ticket to missouri lottery officials have three adult children and a 6-year-old, a girl they adopted from china.
>> it's wild. crazy to think that somebody that comes in here on a regular basis possibly won the powerball.
>> reporter: for much of thursday the question was do the numbers hold meaning? dearborn is but 35 miles north of kansas city , home to the royals baseball team , and those winning lottery numbers, they match royals greats, most of them hall of famers, 5, george brett , 23 mash gubicza. 16, bo jackson , 22, dennis leonard , 29 dan quisenberry and the powerball 6, willy wilson, and while it's an odd coincidence the royals spring training is in arizona where that other big winning ticket was sold. while the retired hall of famer jersey number story is fast becoming legend, it looks like it may be not true. i'm hearing that the purchase of the tickets was a quick pick, but we'll probably find out more about this, as lottery officials have announced that later today at the local high school there will be a press conference with details. savannah?
>> all right. kerry sanders , thank you.
>>> david troutman is a high school friend of the missouri couple which are expected to be revealed as one of the powerball winners in just a few hours as kerry mentioned, and he's here with us exclusively. david , good morning to you.
>> good morning.
>> high school friends. please tell me you had some sort of pact back in high school to split the lottery if you ever won it.
>> yes, i saved his life.
>> good story.
>> no.
>> you can try that out a little bit later. i should mention we are not mentioning the couple's name until it's confirmed by lottery officials. you know them and went to high school with them. a couple in their 50s, from dearborn , too. what else can you tell us about them?
>> he was in just an all-around good guy. he was ffa, childhood sweet hearts , really -- he was into football, sports, everybody loved mark.
>> i know you're facebook friends with them. have they posted anything on facebook since this all happened?
>> yeah. i was on facebook , and i saw that his wife had posted and said thank you, god. we won the lottery. of course, everybody in town and all the friends gave all thumbs up and really couldn't have happened to a better guy.
>> i understand your town dearborn , missouri is a very close-knit small community. fair to say everybody knows each other. what impact is this having on the town?
>> hard to say. word spread that he won so fast. i heard it was a winner from dearborn , and then when i -- literally by the time i walked in the door my mom was on the phone and said he -- he won, and, it was him, but -- who knows what the impact will be on dearborn .
>> well, great to see good news travel fast and happen to good folks. david troutman,

Hi everybody. As it is the graphics subforum, I thought I could post a review for a book about the Ogre3D graphics engine. If anyone among you is interested in learning Ogre3d with practical examples, it could be interesting. Especially if you don't really know where to start with the engine (Ogre 3D).
The title of the book says it all: "cookbook". You won't find lengthy descriptions or useless babbling in this book: it is all about recipes. It is divided in chapters with each of them about a specific subject (initialisation, lights, materials, animations...) with several articles.
This is not a book for total beginners who don't know where to look but for people with decent programming knowledge willing to learn more about Ogre3D. Those people will find in this book great articles that go straigth to the point. Have a look at the table of content (available at http://www.packtpub....t-cookbook/book) and see if any of the subjects interest you. If it is the case, you'll definitely want to check this.

Tampa Bay has signed free agent offensive tackle Jamon Meredith, PewterReport.com can comfirm. Meredith, who spent the 2011 season in Pittsburgh, is expected to compete at right tackle and also has the versatility to play guard in Tampa Bay.
PewterReport.com has confirmed that the Buccaneers have signed free agent offensive tackle Jamon Meredith. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Despite saying last week the Buccaneers were now focused on the NFL draft as opposed to adding more free agents, Tampa Bay has added Meredith.
Meredith played his college football at South Carolina after being recruited as a defensive end. Meredith made the switch to offensive line after being redshirted his freshman season.
Meredith was drafted in the fifth round of the 2009 NFL draft by the Green Bay Packers. In addition to his time with Green Bay, Meredith has had stints with the Bills, Lions, and Giants before joining the Steelers in September of 2011.
One of the main reasons why Meredith has been signed by the Buccaneers is likely due to new offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan having some familiarity with him from their time together in New York with the Giants in 2010. At 6-foot-5, 304 pounds, Meredith has the ability to play right tackle and the flexibility to play guard in the NFL.
As a journeyman, Meredith poses no real threat to take away Jeremy Trueblood's starting job at right tackle. Instead, Meredith likely replaces free agent backup James Lee, who started nine games for Trueblood at right tackle in 2010. Lee was supposed to challenge Trueblood for the starting job in 2011, but played terribly in the preseason and was relegated to the bench. In his lone start in last year's season finale at Atlanta, Lee gave up two sacks in the first half before being replaced by backup Demar Dotson in the second quarter.

I had really hoped the Bucs would pick up an experienced backup tackle in free agency. There needs to be plenty of pressure to push Trueblood to play his best. I am pleased with the signing of Meredith. Moreover, should Demar Dotson not beat out Trueblood this year, he may be needed to play some TE this year like he did very well last year in a blocking capacity. Being an ex-basketball player and with his good height, he might be able to get better in being a pass receiver too. Should all that happen, another versatile, experienced Tackle like Meredith is needed on the roster just in case Trueblood should get hurt like he did year before last. Meredith has to be a lot better than Lee was last year. Our Offensive Line is set now.

Don't know anything about this guy except that he is now on his sixth team in four years. I wish he was as good as his agent.
March 21, 2012
7:12 pm
I thought that name sounded familiar. I remember evaluating him when he played at SC. I loved his speed and tenacity but he didn't look very strong to me. I haven't seen him play since then so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. It's not like we don't desperately need a backup OT.

Why It Is Used
These medicines are useful in treating children who have ADHD, especially those who have repetitive muscle movements (Reference tics Opens New Window) or significant problems controlling their impulses and aggression.
- A combination of clonidine and methylphenidate (a stimulant, such as Concerta or Ritalin) has helped some children with difficult behavioral problems.
- Guanfacine may improve attention, impulse control, and irritability.

I wanted to make sure I was doing this right before I proceeded. Doing a search for refinishing a table returns the same result - they just say to sand the table down. My concern is, I've spent a lot of time removing the layers upon layers of top coats they had on this table but I'm not completely down to the bare wood. There is still a bit of stain on it - you can see the wood but it's patchy. My question is - do I have to bring it down to the bare wood and remove all remnants of the existing stain if I'm just going to restain with a similar color? I'm afraid it will be splotchy if I don't but I feel like I could sand for hours and still have a bit of the old stain here and there. Is it better to use one of the chemicals at this point? I'm not sure what kind of wood it is but it is definitely a solid wood table...nice quality. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks Elliot | |||
What does the wood look like when wiped wet with mineral spirits on a rag? If surface patchiness tends to pretty much even out, then you are good. If you still see spots/areas lighter/darker, then I would probably get some gel stain in a similar tone. I have found Gel Stain is easier for getting the surface even in color, as you can wipe it on and leave more on in lighter areas, then wipe to check how it is absorbing and toning the wood, till you get a closer match. | ||||
Thanks so much for the reply - honestly, I haven't heard of gel stain but I'll look into it and will test out with the mineral spirits as you suggested. Do you recommend the products that claim they eliminate the need for sanding all together? I really want to make sure once I start this process I don't screw it up - this table is going to be a center piece of our main living area. Thanks again! Elliot | ||||
I think sanding is always the best prep for a smooth finish. Sanding sponges work fairly well, come in different grits and are easy on your hands too. Your sanding strokes should go with the grain (you probably knew that), and make sure to vacuum or tack rag the surface before and between applying finishes. A pro paint store can often help with specific questions too, if you can bring the item (leaf or drawer, but your table might be too large) The liquid sandpaper that I am familiar with is just a prep for when one is coating with paint. What is the look you are after, when stained and varnished? There are different finishes too that can give a variety of results, glosses, protection, and varied number of coats necessary. | ||||
Thanks again Conrad - we bought this table off of Craig's - it had some deep gouges and scraps on it. My goal is just to be able to fill in the gouges with wood fill (the kind that can take stain) and then restain it close to the original look...and then put a ton of protection coats on it so this won't be a process I have to repeat . It sounds like I'm going to have to work on it a bit more by hand - I put some mineral spirits on it but it's hard to tell how it will eventually come out. I can also put some stain on the leaf and see how it will cover on the first go. Depending on how that experiment goes, I can go back to the HW store and see what kind of gel stains they have and ask for some specifics maybe bringin the leaf with me. Again - I appreciate the feedback! Elliot | ||||
Those wood fillers may say there stain able but trust me there going to stick out like a sore thumb. Sand out the gouges or just leave them, do not fill them. What type wood is it? Soft woods would need a wood conditioner before staining. Gel stains will be sold right next to the liquid stains. Brush it on let it sit a few min. then just wipe it off. Wear rubber gloves or it will also stain your hands. joecaption | ||||
you're going to find out that refinishing is an art. Though I'm not going to teach you how to refinish, I will offer some hints. turn the table over ( as a test and practice area ) so the bottom is exposed, sand away the old finish in an area about 3 X 3, then make a small gouge in it.Fill the gouge with the filler you are going to use then stain it when the filler is dry. If the color is too dark, repeat the process on another area, except, after the filler is dry, put a thinned coat of what you are going to use as your final finish ( poly, varnish etc, ) coat on the filled gouge, when that is dry, stain the area. The gouge should be a lighter color If the color is too light, use a darker stain only on the filled gougethen when it is dry, blend the final color around it Also, you can custom mix your gels (using the same brand ) to get the color you want. Just because the stain /gel says it's cherry doesnt mean that thats the stain that you must use. I hope this helps,This message has been edited. Last edited by: nona, | ||||
All great suggestions - thanks! I'm not sure what kind of wood it is but it appears to be made of 2 kinds - there is a lighter wood in the middle rectangle of the table and a 3 inch or so boarder with a darker wood that makes up the rest of the table as well as the chairs. Overall - the message I'm getting is that I need to test out how the table will take the stain and this might be a bit of an iterative process. I'll test out the regular stain and filler I have to see how it goes - and also see if I can simply sand out the gouges. If I don't feel the stain is going on well I'll either continue to sand it down to the bare wood or give the gel stain a try. Thanks again for all your feedback! Elliot | ||||

Sometimes poetry can serve as a vehicle to cleanse the self of pain. The writing of a poem can objectify and make more manageable an internal affliction. Putting the best words in the best possible order on the page can help one to organize a mental state of chaos. In other words, although dark-themed, certain poems are necessary to the poet's survival.
A young area poet who goes by the name, Jane Midnight, offers up this sort of poem. Jane Midnight writes that she volunteers at SOMC and SOMC Life Center. Her dream is to one day become a surgeon. Despite her more scientific career leanings, she writes poetry regularly, and her favorite poet is perhaps the master of the "dark" poem that conveys the complexities of the psyche: Edgar Allan Poe.
Here is her poem:
I get uglier as the days pass,
I feel my soul inside me rotting,
Like broken extremities in casts,
Or a gutted building toppling.
There's something bad going on inside,
Something that could destroy them and me,
A pain I could not cry out, but tried,
It will kill me eventually.
It cuts, scrapes and punches from within,
I forgot to make money to eat,
It pulled all my focus in on it,
As layers of plaque grew on my teeth.
My schizophrenia, it scares me,
Half the people I know don't exist,
Half tell me that I am not ugly,
Half's real, but I forget which half is.
Thanks to Jane Midnight for this poem, and for sharing her intensely felt Poe-like vision.

I'd like to thank for this great instructable!
I was planning to do my bookshelf for about 6 months. When I finally got to round to it, it took me about an hour or two.
I used an old calendar notebook with metal binding on the side so I can hang my earing collection :)
Thanks again!

Monday, Jul 04 1:00 PM to Monday, Jul 04 2:30 PM in room: Regency Ballroom 1
Kodachrome ended a 75-year run in December 2010, causing a lot of grief for its fans. Over the past decade, numerous manufacturers have dropped film cameras from their product lines. Resolution for digital images are approaching the resolution of film. Given all this, introductory photography classes are still taught with black & white film. Where are things heading?

DORSET -- It's become a familiar pattern in recent years: People with second homes leave the area for winter and return in the spring and summer to find their homes were broken into sometime in the past several months.
"A lot of seasonal homes"
It's a problem all over, said Lt. Reginald Trayah, commander of the Vermont State Police Barracks in Shaftsbury. "Dorset is not on an island," he said. "We have burglary complaints all over the place. The one thing that Dorset has that a lot of towns we cover don't, is they have a lot of seasonal homes."
Town Manager Rob Gaiotti said state police met with town officials and residents (about 100 attended the meeting ) earlier this year to talk about what can be done to curb the problem. He said the town had budgeted an extra 80 hours of state police service to patrol backroads in random intervals. That's nearly double the amount of hours, he said. The town had been budgeting between $50,000 and $55,000 for added state police service, and this adds about $10,000 to $15,000 to that, he said.
"It's a healthy part of (the budget)," Gaiotti said, adding that the town's budget is about $1.6 million, which mostly covers road maintenance.
Gaotti said the burglary reports seem to have gone down some in recent weeks, and the hope is people will remember what police have recommended when winter rolls around.
"It's frustrating for law enforcement when we have a seasonal home that doesn't have an alarm, doesn't have a caretaker, so when we try to put the pieces together, our time frame could be three to five months," said Trayah.
He said the burglary problems are not unique to Dorset and not all involve second homes. He said part of the problem is people seem reluctant to contact police immediately when they see something like a suspicious vehicle or person on foot. He said reports of a "green truck" can be useful when the call comes to police within minutes, but when they reports two days after the fact, the information is less useful.
Even when an arrest is made, if a suspect doesn't know where they were four months prior, it can be difficult to tie them to old burglaries.
He said the biggest thing people can do is get together with neighbors and report suspicious activity when they see it, be it a strange vehicle or person knocking on doors claiming to be looking for a dog or have the wrong address. What some of these people on foot are doing is seeing if anyone is home.
'Nobody knows their community better than the people that live within that community," Trayah said, adding that people should not be shy about calling, even if the suspicious person is legitimate.
Internally, state police have created a central location for information they get on burglaries, and the local barracks has assigned a trooper to oversee them so connections can be made.
Second home owners, he said, should either install an alarm system or get a caretaker. Uncut grass, piles of mail, no lights, are all signs a house is left unoccupied and make it an attractive target for burglars.
"We don't have as many burglaries on houses with alarms," Trayah said. "They know that if they go into that house, we are going to get called immediately."
The following figures were provided by VSP Public Information Officer Stephanie Desaro. She said the numbers reflect incidents handled by the Shaftsbury barracks and do not reflect arrests. Jan. 1 - July 20, 2012
* Residential burglary with no forced entry: 20
* Attempted burglary of residence: Two
* Burglary with forced entry on non residence: Seven
* Burglary where entry was forced on a residence: 31
