TRIBUNE FEATURETTE Ch«ro.i»s? Or Clinics? Three Faces of Fred Ippolito by ann conroy "Future-think suggests that between 1970 and 1980 a number of new assignments and specialists will materialize if present trends continue. For one thing, the basic role of the teacher will change noticeably. Ten years hence it should be more accurate to term him a "learning clinician". This ^Iels~1htemlefl''1id*~c6nvey~ the idea that schools are becoming CLINICS whose purpose is to provide individualized psychosocial TREATMENT for the student." In those three sentences, the Educational Establishment has set down the blueprint within which they will reorganize our public tax-supported schools now and throughout the 1970's. Quoted verbatim from the (NEA) National Education Association, January 1969, the article entitled, "FORECAST FOR THE SEVENTIES," ?n*>s on to say a lot more that would make your hair curl. For example, the learning clinician, who used to be called a teacher because she taught children how to read, write, and calculate, will now enter the behavioral sciences where she will coordinate and direct individual inquiry. I*— The senior learning clinicians will coordinate services for groups of 200 to 300 children, while "team" teaching will be expanded to include para-professionals, teaching interns, counselors, and analysts of various types, under the ominous titles of' "culture analysts", "information- input specialists", "curriculum-in-put specialists", and "biochemical therapists and pharmacists". However, "the learning clinician will probably not be appreciably more specialized in subject-matter disciplines than he was in the1%0's, except for being more skilled in using educational technology." Moreover, the learning clinician will engage less in 1968- style group instruction, ami concentrate more on the maintaining of effective environment and interpersonal relationships, which is another »^»JlMyiniLttiglJ«ach^ ers will be practicing amateur- psychology rather than concentrating on teaching as we have always known it. The article, distilled from more than 400 books and essays on education, predicts that more and more money will be spent on the preschool and early childhood programs, suggesting that mini schools be set up for two and three-year-olds. Of course, the major function of these mini schools will be "early referral to cooperating social agencies for treatment of psy-chobehavioral problems." What about those children who come from environmentally- damaging homes? The NEA has the answer: "mandatory foster homes and boarding schools for children between the ages of two and three whose home environment was felt to have a malignant influence." The NEA admits the idea could have a tinderbox quality because, "there is no clear social precedent for removing a child from his home because it lacks the SENSORY INPUT needed to build normal intelligence." Can you imagine taking a baby of two or three away from his home and family because some bureaucratic bungler, with or without a psychologist degree, determines that the home lacks "SENSORY INPUT"? What about love, warmth, and security? Out the window! Down with the family: up -{Continued on'Page-5) •—.-'••*•- Dad, Mom And Deputy Commissioner. Bethpager Handles A l l Three Roles A r t f u l l y. If being a mother is., aass • • • • • • • • • • • ' & the ladies .say, a full-time job, then being both a mother and a father is something akin to the impossible. But one of Bethpage's sons, Fred Ippolito, seems to be making a success of responsibility as both ^Deputy ^GoHMmssionor-ef-the Town of Oyster Bay's Department of General Services and—fathcr-mother to his children. A respected and acti member of the corn munity, Fred is involved in many civic and social organizations. The Theodore Roosevelt Republican Club of Beth-page is one of Fred's prime interests and he is currently serving as vice-president. He is a member of the Columbus Lodge, Order Sons of Italy in America; the Knights of Columbus and the St. Martin of Tours R. C. Church. He serves on the Bethpage P. T. A. and the County Foster Parents Association and is a member of that group's Christmas Party Committee which is preparing to give a holiday party for more than 1,200 foster Bethpage School Board's Committee for the D e v e l o p m e n t of Recreational Facilities for the Youth of Bethpage. In addition, he was recently "selected to. join the Nassau children in Nassau County. But the bulk of Fred's time ouAsklft -the office is devoted to his two children 11-year old Cheryl and S-year old Billy. As both . mother and father to them, l i a much of his life is centered around theirs. A typical day in the Ippolito household starts with father, daughter and son getting up at 7 A.M. - dad for work and the kids * for school. The family St. Bernard, Brandy, adds to the confusion. After breakfasting together, Fred drops Cheryl and Billy at the bus stop and heads for the office. His work day runs from 8:30 P.M. to 5:30 P.M. after which he goes to bis mother's house in Bethpage to pick the children up and take them home. During football season, the Ippolito "team" grabs a quick bite to eat and heads for practice. Billy is in the Panther's Peanuts Division and bis sister Cheryl is a cheerleader for the Junior Varsity. Fred is a coach for the Junior V a r s i t y . Cheryl's cheerleading squad recently placed first in the First All-Nassau County 'Cheerleading Competition a^d Fred's team won first place in its division. Billy's (Continued on Page 7)

Listening is an essential first step in any successful social media program. It's vital to understand the nature of conversations that your constituencies are engaged in and equally important to understand what competitors and peers are doing online before you can influence those conversations and build thought-leadership.
Intelligence-driven social media
Your goal should be to conduct intelligence-driven social media; to rise above mere opportunistic posts.
How do you do that?
If you're new at the game or don't have the budget for an industrial-grade intelligence-gathering system, such as Spredfast or Radian 6, you can start by setting up an iGoogle listening post.
I use iGoogle as my homepage. It serves as my personalized dashboard where I've plugged in feeds that give me quick access to my G-mail account; shared Google Docs; a Google Reader for RSS feeds; Google Calendars that I share among my business colleagues and family; as well as feeds from a couple of news organizations and the weather.
You may do that, too. But did you know that iGoogle's dashboard can be constructed to display all sorts of other digital information?
Build an Intelligence Gathering System
The free iGoogle dashboard can be configured to monitor multiple web monitoring searches, yielding an efficient and powerful compendium of much of what an organization needs to know about what's going on online.
In order to use it as a business listening post, you first need a Google Account. That's easy enough. Like all of the other Google products I've mentioned, it's free.
We like free
Once your account is established, click on More, then Even More, and select iGoogle. Your template will then be created.
If you have a personal iGoogle, simply repeat the last three steps. A tab will appear in the upper left of the banner that will indicates you now have TWO iGoogles dashboards and you can toggle back and forth between Home and the one you've just created.
Now comes the fun part
On the upper right in the iGoogle banner, you'll see a little square icon. Hover your cursor over that icon and you'll see: Add Gadgets. Click on that. At the bottom of the left-hand column, find Add Feed or Gadget.
Select which RSS feeds you want to monitor. If you already use a Reader, then just copy a feed address, paste it in the box, and click on Add. If you're like me, you have dozens or feeds in your Reader. The Listening Post that you are creating should be selective. Every time you paste one into the Add Feed box and click Add, it will be displayed on your new iGoogle Listening Post dashboard. You can also paste in a Google Alert.
So how do you maintain your listening post?
You don't. It just keeps rolling along. You can modify it by adding or subtracting feeds. Otherwise, it silently does its job.
Until November 2013, that is. That's when Google—for some unfathomable reason—plans to eliminate iGoogle from its list of product offerings and you will have to transfer to less satisfying options like NetVibes, Feedly or My Yahoo. But until then, it's a great, free way of gathering intelligence.

What to do? I do not know what I am feeling? Appalled, betrayed, flabbergasted, embarrassed, angry, confused...
But more importantly I need some advise on how to handle it, because I KNOW I blew it.
My lovely daughter, so excited to get her first middle school yearbook. I had her name embossed on it with her clubs and sports. A beautiful thing. I went to put on the protective cover and she is just beaming, " Do you want to see the boy I have a crush on"?
Of course I do, what Mother in her right mind would not want to see her daughter's first "official middle school crush"?
As I flip to "his" page I notice other pictures that have been "X" out, names written on them, in permanent green magic marker no less.
What is this I ask her? Oh, those are the kids I don't like, or annoying girls... you know THOSE kids.
I hit the ceiling, not the house, but the one the air traffic controllers are always talking about. I asked her what she was thinking? How would you feel if you saw your picture "x"'d out with Ugly written at the bottom? She said she would feel sad, and angry.
I ended up sending her to bed with a bag of pretzels and threw the yearbook away. Grounding her (no electronics)until I can figure out what to do. She yelled and cried and said what a bad person she was and that she does not like what she did.
Am I over reacting? She did say all the other kids were doing it too. Is this a case of peer pressure run amuck?
Now she wants me to buy her a new yearbook. I can not even begin to get my mind around that request. Not only do I feel like she does not deserve it, but we are talking $38 bucks here.
She is a good girl, does not get into trouble, A's and B's, participates in team sports (softball and cheer leading).
What to do?

Mindy McCready, perhaps better known for her troubled personal life than as a country music icon, died Sunday from an apparent suicide. She was 37-years-old. She was found on her front porch dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Non-country music fans may know her best as a cast member of season three of Dr. Drew's Celebrity Rehab. And while Dr. Drew seems like a swell guy, intent on helping those battling addiction, his batting average isn't that good. She's the third person to die from that season's cast of nine people, following Mike Starr of the rock band Alice in Chains, who died in 2011 over an overdose, and former Real World cast member Joey Kovar, who succumbed to opiate intoxication in August 2012. Celebrity Rehab cast members from other seasons who are no longer with us include Jeff Conway and Rodney King.
Talk about holding a grudge over the shortest marriage ever… KRIS HUMPHRIES and KIM KARDASHIAN are scheduled to go to trial May 6th.

Meanwhile, one of his attorneys has QUIT, because he doesn't think there are grounds for the annulment.

23-4A BOYS SOCCER: Wranglers seize control of district race
By DEVIN HASSON, email@example.com
In the course of one week, West Mesquite went from being one of the contenders to the team to beat.
The defending district champions defeated both of its top challengers this past week to move into sole possession of first place in 23-4A.
The Wranglers (6-0-0-0, 18 points) have a three-point lead over Poteet (5-1-0-0, 15 points), who they defeated last Friday, and a six-point cushion over Forney (4-2-0-0, 12 points), who they knocked off on Tuesday.
Against Forney, it was two goals from Isai Velasquez that were the difference in a 2-1 victory. The Poteet game was a defensive battle, but the Wranglers got a goal from Javier Garcia to post a 1-0 win.
The Pirates were able to bounce back on Tuesday, getting two goals from Charles Ojeda and another from Carlos Cardenas in a 3-1 win over Crandall.
The second half of the 23-4A season gets started on Friday with Poteet hosting Terrell, who is tied for fourth place along with Kaufman and North Forney. The Pirates then play at North Forney on Tuesday.
West Mesquite has a bye on Friday and will return to action on Tuesday with a road game at Crandall.

3T Aura Pro Aerobar
- Item: TTT0016 Actual Weight:"Actual Weight" means we weighed this item ourselves. 704 g
- $399.95
The Aura Pro Aerobar from 3T tries to steal some thunder from their Mistral Aerobar. Upon first glance, the two look similar. They both have carbon fiber base bars and alloy extensions, and they both sell for the same amount. However, if you look at the weights of the two you'll see the difference. The Aura is nearly 50g lighter.
This difference is due to a simplified attachment system for the extensions. Where the Mistral has a total of 16 possible forearm positions and allows lateral and angular adjustment at the elbow base pads, the Auro Pro is more limited. The extensions have a set width at 8cm (measured center to center) and the elbow pads have a set angle. However, if it offers the right fit, saving weight is always a good thing when you want to go fast.
Just like the more expensive Brezza, the Aura Aerobar has a standard round clamping surface and can be matched to any 31.8mm stem. The base bar is made of carbon fiber and has fixed mounting holes on each side for the elbow pads. The pads themselves have four sets of attachment points to offer some customization for the width. The elbow pad base, clamping hardware, and extensions are all 6061 aluminum alloy.
The 3T Aura Pro Aerobar can be used with either standard road or time trial specific brake levers.

Prohibition Era New York Skyline
Prohibition era New York (1920) with vampires
Vampires haven't been in America long, the earliest came for the attraction of easy blood offered in slave ownership though there are those claiming to have stalked the natives across the Bering Strait, most arrived at the turn of the century as imperialism began to die and war, revolution and globalisation challenged their traditional place amongst the aristocracy. And why shouldn't they move to the new world, afterall the Statue of Liberty has an invitation on it. Two decades later (1920) and religious fervor has gripped much of the country, outlawing drink and heavily enforcing the regulations on vampires. Criminality and poverty are now facts of life and vampires are using it to recreate the fortunes and authority they left behind in Europe. Will the government be forced to take drastic measures to deal with the problem?

Whoo 5th post!
Name:Anton Miklo
Species: Pure Vampire
Age: 488
Appearance: WIP soon
Personality: Very calm, he is a shy shy vampire.
History: WIP
excellent I have got this page subscribed now and I should hopefully have a character up soon.
Name: Minnie Haven
Species: Almost pure blood vampire
Age: 200 years old
Long dark hair, pale skin, grey eyes, stands 5'5" with a slim figures and soft curves, usually wears dresses, keeps her finger nails a bit longer than someone normally would and always painted bright red
Personality: Playful, hypersexual, bag full of crazy, keeps a smooth exterior most of the time, rejects authority, warm when she wants something, cold when bored, angry when ignored, distant, arrogant, overly confident, vain, selfish, not snobbish
History: Born in 1720, Minnie was born in Spain. She was born to a poor family, but her beauty held a promise to get her out of the desperate situation her family was in. She was cleaning her family's dishes in the nearby river, when a man on a royal horse came trotting by. She bowed dutifully, but the man paused, and asked that she be brought to him. The man turned out to be Charles III of Spain. He was 4 years her senior, and the Duke of Parma and Piacenza already. Minnie caught his eye in 1734, as he was conquering Naples and Sicily, but before he was crowned king in 1735. They began a love affair in secret, however once he became king he began trying to push her away in order to find a suitable queen. In her mind, Minnie didn't understand why she couldn't be his queen. A wedding happened however, and Minnie was thrown in jail by her lover to keep her from doing something crass to interrupt the proceedings. Heart broken, emotionally and mentally broken… Minnie was left to rot in jail. Her beauty was not unnoticed in the cells either however, and she managed to catch the eye of a certain man.
The man was rumored to have gotten thrown in jail for cannibalism, but his darkness drew Minnie to him. As she spoke to the man through her bars, he slowly began revealing things about himself to her. The man was not a cannibal exactly… but a blood sucker. The other inmates would hear their conversations, but would usually stay quiet, most likely out of fear. Minnie was only more intrigued however. He also told her of how he got arrested on purpose to get out of being killed. He had stolen a horse, which wasn't punishable by death. Just life imprisonment. Apparently, he had made many enemies who had been after him and this seemed like the better option. Soon, their conversations turned even more personal. Through the bars of a Spanish jail cell, Minnie and the vampire fell in love without ever even touching.
During this time, the Spanish were supporting France in the War of Polish Succession. Rebels against the Spanish government funding the war instead of its citizens created a prison break and let multiple inmates out. Two of the inmates, were the vampire Carlos, and Minnie. Their first embrace was long and beautiful. The intoxicating scent of her blood to a vampire who had been drinking rat blood for years, was just too much for him though. He asked her, shaking, if he could drink her blood. Minnie agreed, understanding it meant they could be together forever. In 1740, at age 20 in a field away from the prison they had run to after the guards came after them, Minnie became a vampire. Unlike the changing experience most people had, Minnie's wasn't violent. Carlos managed to restrain himself from killing her, his love for her more important to him than his thirst. Soon, Minnie was changed and even more beautiful than before despite the scar on her neck. Carlos and Minnie became a powerful vampire force in Europe, even starting their own coven that travelled together.
Something happened though. Carlos was caught and killed by vampire hunters while Minnie was separated from him with other coven members. When she heard what happened to the love of her life, something snapped in her mind. She slept with every man in her coven and then killed them all. The women in the coven were beyond angry and Minnie had no friends left, and many people trying to kill her. She travelled to America, not afraid of what laid in a new land when she had nothing to lose. Once in America, Minnie started becoming the person she is today (see Personality). She was interested in the knowledge and somewhat acceptance of vampires in America, and got used to just being herself where ever she went. She got too comfortable, and when blood and alcohol began getting prohibited, Minnie felt like it was a personal attack. She is determined to still get what she wants. Usually, she gets what she wants through seduction, something easy for her that always seems to work.
(If anyone wants a history or past experience with my character, feel free to pm me)

Name: Paub Tseeb Yang "Donny"
Species: Human
Age: 27
History: An immigrant who managed to smuggle himself into America through some long-winded shenanigans, he's a mute who's looking for a way to bring some money back to his family back home, in Laos. Unfortunately, being mute and Asian didn't leave him a lot of job offers, at least not totally legal ones. But he found work eventually... Working in a munition factory. And it wasn't even owned by the government; little did he know, Paub was working in a mob's gun factory, just as another sweat shop worker. He was also given the name "Donny" since no one know how to pronounce "Paub" in a way that Paub understood it. Outside of the factory, he's a rather unassuming guy, and tries to make friends. Since he can't talk, he usually just stands around and pays for drinks, but in a fight he's rather scrappy. What he lacks in finesse he makes up for in gumption and craziness, like the rope he keeps tied around his hands; they can be used to deliver nasty cuts with his punches, choke someone, or lit on fire to deliver flaming punches. Completely impractical and ineffective, but tell that to the guys running away from the crazy Asian guy with flaming arms. But outside the factory and the fighting, he's usually seen just minding his own business, sometimes being a nice guy, sometimes running from trouble. And despite working in a mob factory, he has a keen sense of justice, and won't hesitate to defend the weak and innocent and bring down criminals. If it's within his powers; he's a pragmatic sort, clever in his own way.
Work in progress!
Mima (pron. My-ma) ingen Somairle (meaning daughter of Somerled)
Sean Brown
Mima = Pureblood
Sean = Weak Blood
Mima- 781
Sean- 52
Mima was the illegitimate daughter of the Scots Warlord Somerled. His Pureblooded vampire nature made him a natural born warrior and that, coupled with his charismatic personality and ruthless heart, ensured his success in his conquests. Mima was born a long while after he became King of the Isles, a kindom made up of all the islands off the western coast of the scottish mainland. Her mother was a traveler named Adamina, already many centuries old herself when she met Somerled, she and he were drawn to eachother simply by the string of understanding that lay between them. Mima however was not a planned child, but her birth was not seen by either as anything but good. Adamina loved her child but her wanderlust ran deep and she had already begun to feel her feet itch for the road by the time Mima was just a month old. She stayed for a year, weening Mima and setting her on her feet before leaving her in her fathers hands. Somerled treasured Mima as his Pureblood daughter, loving her as much for her potential power along with her personality.
She was the youngest of his children and all her elder half-siblings adored her, though her adoptive mother was ever a little distant. But this never gave her much concern, she had plenty of people who loved her. She grew up accomplished and fierce, her head endowed with a thick crown of fire-red hair like her father's and her features strong and elegant. She was wooed by every man who met her but she quickly spurned them in her younger years, feeling foot-light and fancy free and not wishing to give up her independence just yet. Her father supported her in this, he had great plans for Mima's marriage and taught her to value herself above all others. Her husband should be the greatest of men. Mima subscribed to this happily, a true daddy's girl, completely smitten with him and his ideals. As blood drinking went the family was far and away too powerful for such small rumours to damage them, Mima was an animal drinker in the main, simply because all the humans she knew were important. Her father was somewhat similar, although he often used it as a threat to his enemies, a habit that Mima picked up from him.
However her happy life was not to last. She was just sixteen when her father was killed in battle. It was a stunning shock to her, she hadnt even been worried when he had sailed to war on the Mainland. It had been the simple luck of war that he had died, but it took seeing his bloodied body, along with the body of his son GilleBride, for Mima to believe it. In the aftermath of his death everything seemed to fall apart. Mima was barely able to understand what happened, mourning a beloved father as well as a beloved brother. A vacuum of power was created upon his death and the rival Warlord Godred Crovan easily took the Hebrides and Skye into his power. That still left everything south of the Mull of Kintyre and North of Skye to Somerled's surviving sons and it was divided between them, Alan taking the bulk of land. However this caused fractures in the family itself and, Ranald and Angus nursing a bitter feud that eventually tore the family apart. Mima was young and terrified at the time, she loved all her siblings and was plunged into a period of bitter grief.
It was her sister, Bethóc, whom saved her. She was a gentle and protective person and rather than marry for political gain she had 'wed the lord' and become the Prioress of the Iona Nunnery. She took Mima in with her and taught her compassion and kindess, lessons that she had not learnt while under her father's tutelage. She found comfort there and spent many years in peace, away from courts and clan wars. However, just like her mother, she found a wanderlust beginning to blossom as she grew older and six years later she left the nunnery for the Scots court.
She arrived at court but two years after the crowning of a new King, William l or William the Lion as he was later called. Mima had never understood why, the man was never particularly fierce. She entered court under the protection of her brother Ranald, he having given up the feud with Angus after he was soundly defeated in combat. She slid into society with the greatest of ease and rose swiftly in fame for her inspiring wit and audacity and beauty. She quickly caught the eye of the King and she was often called to banquets and balls. From then on she was always close to the Scottish monarchy, giving sound and good advice from the sidelines and watching as the years turned. One of her pieces of advice that William fully took on board was 'do not try to be the warrior king, when you can bring about peace with words'. William was an impressive politician even though he looked a brute of a man and though almost all of his military endeavors failed horribly, his work while at court defined his reign.
His son Alexander II succeeded his father in 1214 but for most of his life Mima was travelling herself. As a Vampire she needed no escort, perfectly capable at defending herself. She travelled almost everywhere, involving herself with every kind of expedition to strange lands and enjoying both the freezing cold of Russia to the baking sands of Egypt. However she was still more her father's girl than her mother's and home drew her back. She arrived a few months into Alexander III's reign and her return was talked about by all. The King took an immediate interest in her and fr the first time, Mima was interested as well. Alexander III was a man of power, he was charismatic and stern and fiercely cunning. Mima saw that he would make a great king and might just change the worsening tides for Scotland. She and he were close for a long time and kept a quiet tryst together even through Alexander's first Marriage. She was ever at his side and with him through his many conquests and when his wife died they grew even closer. However Alexander had need of a male heir, though he would have accepted his daughter Margeret as his heir if there was no other option. So he asked Mima for a child. She refused him point blank, they had been careful with their relations and even though Mima was already one hundred and thirty seven years old, she found she did not have the mentality to dedicate to a child, nor did she want a child of hers to become a king. She had seen what happened to kings.
So Alexander searched for a new wife and found one, much to his surprise, whom he actually cared about. Yolande was beautiful and clever and Alexander found himself smitten. He devoted himself to his new wife and to that end he pushed Mima from him. Mima did not blame him and easily returned to his loyal friend and counsellor. However things were not to go as planned, Alexander died after falling from his horse while riding through the night to attend Yolande's Birthday. Yolande was already pregnant with his child but the shock of losing him so suddenly soured the birth and the child came out stillborn. It was then that Mima despaired for her homeland. Tensions were already high within the English and Scots relationship, tensions that Alexander's expert hand had kept at bay. Now, with no male heir and a raft of Clan leaders baying for blood, Mima saw the imminent downfall of the Kingdom.
She left then, the last time she would see her home for many centuries, and went east into Europe. She found herself in the courts of many kingdoms, moving from France to Spain and back up to Germany. She spent two centuries passing from one land to the next and began slowly to wish for a home of her own. She had changed her name many times and in the year 1450 she entered Russia under the guise of Maria Borisovna of Tver. She was taken in by one Boris of Tver since she had done him a kindness a few years ago and he was happy to treat her as his daughter. Russia was in a time of turmoil, Vasilly II of Moscow was on the throne but he was aging fast and his son Ivan, later to become known as Ivan the Great, was being readied for rule. Boris was a firm supporter of Ivan's conquests as prince and so it was natural that he and Mima met. There was an immediate attraction, though at first it was more a rivalry, but later on they grew closer. Mima felt the need to settle and live in one place for a while, so at Ivan's proposal at marriage she easily said yes. They were married in 1452 and six years later their first child was born to them. Ivan junior, was a passionate and healthy child and grew up with vigour. As a weak blooded vampire he appeared happy to feed off animals so his vampiric nature never bothered him much. To Mima, he was a delight, a gift to her like no other. She treasured him and spent many happy years with her new family. Much later on a daughter was also born to her, she was named Lyra and was just as perfect as her son. However Lyra's birth had been kept a secret from the general public, whispers of assassinations abounded and the pair thought it safer to wait to give the announcement.
A good thing too for not a month later an attempt was made upon Mima's life. Someone poisoned her food and it was only by the good grace of her Vampire blood that she survived, though she was taken ill for a long time. Afterwards Ivan and herself had to make a difficult decision. Ivan could not put Mima at such risk, nor his newborn daughter. So the word was passed about that she had in fact died of the poisoning. In the dead of night she and Lyra were spirited away. She could barely bear to part from her little Ivan Junior, but her husband had persuaded her that he would be safe. It was one of the worst things she had ever done and one of the main regrets from her many years of life. She fled to spain and waited anxiously for news of her family. From there she watched her family crumble apart, Ivan remarrying when she did not return and her son dying of a cruel disease.
She was at least at his deathbed, holding her little boy's hand as he passed on. These experiences shaped her character more than any others but her heartache was not yet done. Lyra grew up rebellious and unwieldy. At that time Spain was leading an inquisition upon Jewish and satanic traditions and amongst their quota, vampires had been added to the mix. Mima tried to get Lyra to be careful but Lyra resented being held back from drinking human blood and became more and more reckless. Eventually of course, she was caught and dragged away for 'interrogation' though it was more sadistic torture than anthing else. Mima managed to rescue her daughter and spirit them from the country but once she had recovered, Lyra blamed her mother for her capture, insinuating that she had informed the authorities deliberately to teach her a lesson.

'Skateboard burglar' charged with burglarizing Kirkland, Federal Way homes
By RAECHEL DAWSON
Kirkland Reporter Reporter
December 27, 2012 · Updated 1:57 PM
The so-called "skateboard burglar" was charged with two counts of residential burglary on Wednesday in King County Superior Court.
Johnny Clayton Wollum, of University Place, was charged with breaking, entering and stealing from a woman's Kirkland home at the 14100 block of 107th Ave. N.E. in mid-November.
Wollum also faces the same charges of residential burglary after allegedly breaking into a Federal Way home on Dec. 19.
Wollum's bail is set for $100,000, due to the nature of the crimes and because of his admission to police that he committed 15 to 20 additional burglaries in the last six months, according to the charging documents.
The 42-year-old was arrested on Dec. 20 after viewers that recognized him on Washington's Most Wanted submitted tips to Crime Stoppers.
On Nov. 13, the Kirkland resident reported jewelry, clothing, cell phones, computers, a flat screen TV and more missing from her property for a total loss of $14,316. That morning, the suspect walked up to the Kirkland home with a long-board skateboard, knocked on the front door and then walked around the residence to the back after no response.
He smashed open a back door, left the residence but returned after he had retrieved a silver Volvo, the documents continue. The suspect backed the car into the driveway and began loading the stolen items into the car before he drove away.
But what the suspect didn't know was that his every action was captured by a multi-camera video surveillance system strategically located around the victim's home.
It was this video that was used to create still images of the criminal, which were circulated throughout the region's law enforcement agencies, news outlets, including the Kirkland Reporter, and Washington's Most Wanted TV show. Four separate tips were sent to police officers and Crime Stoppers, all indicating the suspect in the photos appeared to be Wollum.
After one of the tipsters said the Volvo used in the crime is owned by Wollum's girlfriend, detectives searched the 42-year-old woman's home and discovered she possesses a 2004 Volvo S60 and that she had recently pawned earrings, a butterfly ring, a silver chain and a bracelet, which matched the description of stolen items from the Kirkland home, according to court documents.
Police arrested the woman, and she confessed to pawning the items and dating Wollum.
"She indicated that he had given her some jewelry to pawn about three to four weeks ago, and she had given him all the money from the pawned items," said charging documents. "She stated that it was 'probably bad stuff' and confirmed it was probably stolen."
Wollum's girlfriend, who has not been charged, said the two had broken up and Wollum was an unemployed heroin addict, stating "everything he does is in an effort to get more heroin."
On the day of his arrest, police used a Kent K-9, as they approached Wollum at a Federal Way residence. He apparently fled but was caught after he slipped on wet pavement. Charging documents say he was "irritated and was under the influence of drugs."
"He cried, yelled, tensed up, and went back to crying within the span of 30 seconds," the documents continue.
Police found jewelry pieces and 1.1 grams of heroin in his pockets with several unused needles.
Wollum eventually calmed down enough to cooperate in an interview, but before they started questioning, police could hear him mumble, "Why did I look up at that camera?"
During the interview Wollum mentioned that he had been sober earlier this year and that "everything had been going well for him." Wollum was living in a sober house a few blocks away from where the Kirkland burglary took place and he had been working for a man, cleaning gutters and doing lawn maintenance.
But it was this job that led him to steal from one of his Kirkland customers.
"He became upset at himself at this point in the interview and spoke about how nice the lady was and angrily told himself he shouldn't have done it," the documents continue.
When an officer asked what he was talking about, Wollum explained that the burglary caught on camera was his former customer and that the woman had been very nice to him and he felt remorse for stealing her property.
He also told police he broke into a woman's house north of the his former customer's home that he allegedly burglarized and over the summer he stole a red Suburban near his "sober house" location, according to charging documents.
Charging documents indicate Wollum has been booked 25 times on 54 warrants since 1990. Some past criminal offenses include unlawful possession of a firearm, second-degree assault, malicious mischief, forgery, burglary, car prowling and possession of a switchblade among others.
Wollum's arraignment is set for Jan. 7.

Snow Biome
Comments112this wiki
The Snow Biome is a type of Biome that was released in the Christmas update (1.1.1). It is completely made up of Snow Blocks, and is usually no more than some hundred blocks wide, and extends down to sea level (0 height). Throughout the year, it has a 33% chance of appearing in a generated world, but worlds created during Christmas holidays (December 15th through January 1st) will always include it.
When the player is in a snowy biome, as a cosmetic effect, snowflakes will fall from the sky (even indoors or underground), also; trees generated or planted in this biome will appear covered in snow.
The Snowy Biome has no monsters tied to it; while inside it, monsters from the surrounding biomes will spawn. However, if you have a large enough snow biome, no monsters will spawn while in it. This makes the center of such a biome the safest place to build a house, and not have too much worry about defenses. However, you can still lead monsters into it. In addition, a Blood Moon will still have hordes of monsters knocking at your door.
In addition, both Corruption and Hallow seem to be incapable of moving through it, again adding to the safety of this biome.
Even in worlds where this biome hasn't been generated it is possible to create it artificially by placing Snow Blocks or using a Snow Globe to summon the Frost Legion, that will leave a trail of snow during the battle.
- You can enable the Christmas in game by changing your PC time to 'December 15th' ☼
- Trees grown on Snow Blocks will not yield Acorns.
- Whether a tree has the "snowy" appearance or not depends solely on the type of block its acorn was planted in; an acorn planted in regular grass in a snow biome will grow in a normal tree and vice versa, an acorn planted in snow blocks in any biome will grow into a snowy tree.
- Snow can spawn on top of corruption during map generation, but this doesn't seem to have any effect on the corruption itself.
- The Christmas Event (Presents, Frost Legion and Santa Claus) is often confused as being tied to the Snow Biome.
Update InfoEdit
- Added to the game.

These gloves fit well and keep my hands warm most of the summer in the Mid Atlantic waters of NJ/DE/MD. I am 6'3" with fairly large hands and the XL fit nice and they have held up well. I do mostly wreck diving and they are still in good shape.
Nice looking gloves
By rbmac

Have not had a chance to use these yet but anxious. They fit nicely however, they are a little hard to get used to because they are actually curved like shown in the picture. Seem to be excellent craftmanship.

West Cumbrian students to serve up a dinner fit for a queen
Last updated at 07:43, Friday, 04 May 2012
Catering students from Lakes College at Lillyhall are planning a dinner fit for a queen on June 15.
Students will mark the Queen's diamond jubilee with a red, white and blue dinner based on two coronation menus.
The six-course meal will be served at The Wave Centre in Maryport.
It will begin with canapés, followed by coronation chicken or vegetarian brochettes.
Mock turtle consommé and baron of beef will also feature.. It will end with an equally royal iced pudding with strawberries and maids of honour.
There will also be a full vegetarian menu available.
The event has been organised following the success of the recent sold-out Titanic meal, which saw college students base a menu around food served to passengers on the doomed liner as part of its centenary commemorations.
The dinner was so popular that all tickets were sold within a couple of days. Due to demand a second Titanic dinner will be held next Friday.
Tickets for the jubilee dinner are £23, with £5 going to a charity, and are available from The Wave Centre on 01900 811450.

Web Extra: Wisconsin Stunned by News of Bielema Heading to Arkansas
By: KARK 4 News
Updated: December 6, 2012
On Tuesday afternoon, the Razorback Nation's Aaron Peters spoke with WFRV sports reporter Leslie Spoon about the news.
"Everyone was shocked," said Spoon. "His name wasn't linked to the job until he accepted the job."
Spoon indicated that a Packers player and former Arkansas Razorback may have been aware of the hire. The big question: who knew?

At Least 10 Days Before Return to LBI, Police Say
Stafford police asking people to call 9-1-1 for emergencies only.
A day after Hurricane Sandy passed through the area, Stafford Police were asking that people call 9-1-1 to reach them, as downed power lines shorted their communication systems, and police in Harvey Cedars noted it would likely be at least 10 days before people could return to Long Beach Island.
"We're asking people to call 9-1-1 if they need us, and please emergency calls only," Lt. Tom Dellane told Patch at the emergency operations center in the Stafford Township municipal complex today. "We have no telephone lines, no electricity," Dellane said, around 1 p.m. today.
A utility crew could be seen a short while later tryinf to restore lines around the building, which is located in the center of town.
Mayor John Spodofora, who was also at the emergency operation center, noted that township police were still in a "search and rescue" mode, although he noted the anyone that had called requesting assistance had been evacuated to the Southern Regional evacuation center.
Dellane agreed, adding that police and county officials were using boats to reach people and make sure that no one that needed assistance remained in the Beach Haven West section, especially in the areas of Jennifer Lane, which he described as "under water."
Spodofora called the rescue response "phenomenal," but said he was very concerned about the damage throughout the township and Long Beach Island. "There is lots of property damage," Spodofora said. "We're going to lose lots of homes in Beach Haven West."
Throughout the township, downed power lines and trees could be seen just about everywhere, from Ocean Acres to Beach haven West. Traffic lights were not functioning on Route 72 around 2 p.m. today.
Spodofora said he was on LBI briefly this morning, and noted "there is water everywhere."
As of last night, Harvey Cedars police were reporting certain areas where the bay had met the ocean.
In a statement on their Facebook page today, Harvey Cedars posted: "no return to LBI for anyone for at least 10 days, possibly longer. Roadways are dangerous and impassable power out. Wash overs all over LBI."
Spodofora noted it would likely be "days" before evacuees could return from Stafford to their LBI homes. Dellane said that some of the water in Beach Haven West had started to recede this morning, but he noted there were still areas where the water rose several feet.
Spodofora said he has not received any reports of injuries during the rescue, but noted he was happy to hear that two patrolmen who were injured when a transformer blew in town yesterday are better today.
The officers, identified by Dellane as Patrolman Joe Parker and Richard O'Hagan, were injured when a transformer exploded near McKinley Avenue. Both men are "doing great," today, Spodofora said.

Very well said. for most of us, these are second homes. Although most are well-earned, we are lucky to have them in a world where billions are homeless, lack food, etc. Our worst day having our beach homes trashes is a better day than half of the people on the planet have every day.

A few nights ago a friend has us over to dinner, as well as another good friend whose wife is currently out of town. The five of us went through almost eight bottles of wine (naughty naughty) and I note that the host and gentleman friend were sipping scotch on the rocks when we arrived. Dinner was a fresh spring salad followed by roast leg of lamb and some great vegetable sides.
The next morning, Anne received this email from the other gentleman, titled "Lamb":
Anne and Ron,
I think I should have had a little less lamb last night. After arriving home, I fell asleep on the couch with cat on lap. Woke up at 4 a.m. and went to bed. Now I'm up but feeling lethargic, cotton mouthed and I have very little ambition. Will keep this in mind next time I eat lamb. Thanks for dinner.

Odessa, TX
I love these blades when using my 2nd Gen C3 Recip Saw. Tough blades that can take a little abuse and still keep cutting and last longer than my standard blades do. The 10 pack of recip blades came with a good variety of wood, wood w/nails, metal, multi-purpose and also comes with a handy little velcro storage pouch to store the blades to through into my Craftsman tool tote.. I will definantly be buying these blades again.

Broke one inside of about 30 minutes. I'm sure it was operator error but it would be nice if the blades were a wee bit stiffer.
Choctaw, OK
via sears.com
You can spend alot more money on some other name brand blades that cut just like these CRAFTSMAN do! They work in other brands of saws.
Smyrna, DE
via sears.com
It's a good set of a variety of blades to get the job done and they come with a case. I used the blades without any issues and that was my only concern really. I liked the fact that i also had a place to put them and keep them organized when i was done instead of just lying around loose. I feel that maybe they could've used a thicker or different material for the blades' pockets. If you pay attention and put them in there right then you won't have any issues with that though. No major complaints and everything worked like it should have, would buy again if in the same situation.
Bensenville, IL
via sears.com
I purchased this set on sale, which brought down the price per blade significantly over even the standard quality blades. The case is nice but it does come up short one slot for a type of blade, which means you have to fit it in another slot with a different blade. Really, not that big of a deal. The blade quality seems decent, as I've already used the metal-cutting type for a yard project and it made short work of a thick pipe I had to cut down. I'm yet to use the wood-cutting blades and the multi-purpose blades, and I've no opinion on blade durability yet.
Las Vegas, NV

Good deal on a set of blades with a carry case. Haven't used the blades yet but they should be OK
Cat Spring, TX
I did not buy this set for a specific task, but as a do all collection, ready for any task. I have used a multipurpose blade and a wood/nail blade--each have performed well without getting bogged down and minimal vibration. At one point, I made over 30 cuts through tough old wood with nails with no issue on the wood/nail blade--that saved me a lot of time pulling nails. The bimetallic design gives great performance while cutting cost by putting the money where it needs to be. I strongly recommend this set for anyone needing an all around set of blades--the case is an extra bonus as it keeps my blades where I can find 'em. The set is a decent price at retail, but is a steal when it goes on the frequent sales!
Freeport, PA
via sears.com
I had stopped by the sears store to buy a blade set for my craftsman saws-all i had recieved for christmas... I was kinda shocked at the prices but had settled on this kit as i use saws-alls for many types of projects. I was kinda stumped at the storage case that came with the kit as it was one storage slot short for the different types of blades that came with the kit but overall am happy with my purchase...

Feds haven't weighed in on Washington, Colorado pot legalization
(MCT) — SACRAMENTO, Calif. — In October 2010, with a quixotic marijuana initiative leading in California polls, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder answered an urgent letter from retired heads of the federal Drug Enforcement Administration.
"Let me state clearly that the Department of Justice strongly opposes Proposition 19," Holder wrote, declaring he would "vigorously enforce" federal law if California voters passed the measure, which would have legalized recreational marijuana use for adults over 21 and allowed retail sales of pot.

Todd Staples from the Texas Department of Agriculture was on Greta's show recently to discuss the continuing intrusion into Texas by the Mexican drug cartels. It's not only continuing in Texas, but all across the unacceptably open southern border of this country.
Something's gotta eventually give, folks, because I don't know about you, but I'm not ready to accept beheadings as a nightly news item on my local newscasts. Don't believe that can happen? Keep your head in the sand then. And don't think it will stop with illegal Mexicans. Do yourself a favor and look up the acronym "OTMs." Yeah… they're coming, too.

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. -- A little more than a dozen teachers from the Schenectady City School District earned high honors.
A ceremony took place honoring New York State teachers who earned certification from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. Fourteen Schenectady teachers are among this year's group.
