"Great fantasy"
I like the author's fantasy novels as they are good fantasy without being a LOTR try hard. The characters are interesting and well developed. The fantasy world's laws are easy to understand and plausible. A great listen well worth the effort. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Narrator did a great job. Recommend
"The quality keeps coming"
The third installment to a great story. The quality of the writing and narration continues. The fantasy world is expanding and more insights are explained. If you liked for the first two this is more of the same.
"Great fantasy"
A great follow on from the original story and expands the world and characters. Another great fantasy story. Looking forward to part 3. Great narrator. Recommend
"Very Average"
Being a fan of LMB's later fantasy work I was keen to listen to some earlier sci-fi. The reviews were all good for this audio book but I can't agree. The dialog was stilted, you couldn't get into the characters the story was all over the place and didn't flow - I can't see how a long series was started from this. I love sci-fi but this was only average.
A great story, very well told. I think it was better than Curse of Chalion which is saying something because that was a great story too. Another good fantasy with no Lord of the Rings comparisons. The characters really develop thought the story and it was a joy to listen to.
"great fantasy story"
Just finished listening - it was brilliant. Its great to have a fantasy story that has little or no comparisons to Lord of the Rings. The characters were well developed and kept developing throughout the story. The story itself was simple, but had complexities built-in and the world was explained very well. Lots of unexpected twists and turns. I've found a new fantasy author who is also does Sci-fi - so I'm doubly blessed.
"Too long but excellently read"
The story could have been told in half the time. Lots of sex talk which wears thin after a while. The reader was excellent. Story was only average. At 30 odd hours its a big investment of time. One of those books that doesn't quite hit the mark.
"Great listen"
A great listen. It takes you on a journey of understanding into the stories behind how many well known people succeeded. Very interesting and sure to provide some enlightening conversations about the stories. Covers things from air crashes to ice hockey and maths in between. Highly recommend.
"Only 17?"
Had some good thoughts - many that have been around for a while and appeared in other self help books.
But with these types of books it can be just the way that its explained or justified that can make all the difference to your understanding of it.
Some aspects were well described or explained that made me think "I hadn't thought of it like that" which is all you can hope for.
"It Stuck"
A great listen.
The research was eye opening and the strategies apply to many aspects of life. Great stories to share at home and work.
Well read. Contains humorous as well as enlightening moments.
Will probably buy the book to have it in print as well.

Just thinking about my 2 little dogs this morning. I woke up and they were beside my bed waiting for me to get up. Usually if they want out they will put their paws on the side of my bed. This morning I felt they didn't want to wake up daddy in which I treat them as spoiled children. I do not have any kids so I consider them as so. Just wanted to share this morning as I am delaying some work needed to be done.
I love my dogs and I love all of you!

Whistler Tourist Attractions
The famous ski resort of Whistler at the foot of the Whistler and Black Comb mountains is the center of the biggest winter sports area in North America.Two cable cars and over 30 chair- and T-bar lifts give access to the two mountains. Downhill skiers can choose from hundreds of runs. Snowmobile trips, heli-skiing and ski marathons are all popular with visitors. "7th Heaven" offers a summer ski area on the Horstman and Black Comb Glaciers.Whistler has a variety of tourist accommodation ranging from apartment blocks to hotels. Activities such as tennis, golf and riding, as well as white-water rafting and kayaking on the area's untamed rivers, attract growing summer tourism, as do canoeing, rambling and backpacking in the peaceful isolation of the magnificent highland wildernesses (including the Garibaldi Provincial Park, Cheakamus Lake, Singing Pass Region).Whistler co-hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics with Vancouver. Whistler was the site of the downhill ski events.
Blackcomb Mountain
Blackcomb Mountain is one of the ski hills at Whistler. Skiers can choose to ski either on Whistler Mountain or Blackcomb Mountain or buy a combination ski lift pass for both mountains. The ski resort is officially called the Whistler Blackcomb Ski Resort and encompasses both mountains.In 2008 the Peak 2 Peak Gondola opened, which now connects the two mountains.The Horstman Glacier on Blackcomb Mountain allows for skiing during the summer months.
Peak 2 Peak Gondola
The Whistler Blackcomb, Peak 2 Peak Gondola provides a scenic ride between the two mountains. The distance covered is a record breaking 4.4-kilometres. The ride takes only 11 minutes but offers a scenic view over the area.Unfortunately the lift did not open up any new skiing terrain but did result in an increase in the price of lift tickets / season passes for skiiers. It also resulted in the destruction of forest area with trees being taken out to accommodate construction of the new gondola.
Leaving the asphalted Hwy. 99 at the scattered settlement of Pemberton (90 m (295 ft) above sea level) follow instead the well-surfaced Duffy Lake Road which crosses the 100 km (62 mi.) or so of virtually uninhabited country to Lillooet on the Fraser River.Pemberton offers a wealth of outdoor activities from golfing and mountain biking in summer to heli-skiing and snowmobiling in winter.
The small town ofLillooet owes its existence to the so-called "Cariboo Gold-Rush" of 1858. It stood at the end of the Harrison trail, a canoe route up the Fraser River bypassing the Fraser Canyon.It was here that the gold hunters exchanged their canoes for ox-carts before setting off up the "Cariboo Road", and to cater for them a settlement quickly became established on the Cayoosh Flats. By 1860 the shanty town of log huts and tents was at times filled to overflowing with as many as 16,000 inhabitants. The Pacific Great Eastern Railway line reached Lillooet in 1912.Be sure to visit the Lillooet Museum. It is full of memorabilia from the gold-rush days. Also interesting are the "0" milestone on the old Cariboo Road and the "Hanging Tree" where rough frontier justice was meted out to law-breakers. In 1980 the name of the old Fraser Bridge was changed to the "Bridge of the 23 Camels", commemorating the animals imported from Asia in 1862 by an enterprising entrepreneur who intended to introduce them into the mines as beasts of burden. Having frightened the life out of the local people and their horses the camels were eventually set free. Mineral collectors will enjoy sifting through the gravel for jade and semi-precious stones.
The little town of Lytton (171 m (561 ft)) lies about 400 km (250 mi.) upstream from Vancouver along the TransCanada Highway. Before the gold-rush and the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway there was an Indian village here at the confluence of the Fraser and Thompson Rivers. Named Cumchin, meaning "fork in the river", it lived mainly from salmon-fishing.From Lillooet take Hwy. 12 to Lytton at the confluence of the Fraser and Thompson rivers. From here TransCanada Highway 1 offers a quick route back to the Vancouver area.
White-water Rafting
Lytton, lying in the rain shadow of the Coastal Mountains, is known for its hot, dry summers and proudly calls itself the "Rafting Capital of Canada". On offer are half to five-day "whitewater rafting" trips between May and September on the Fraser, Thompson, Chilko and Chilcotin Rivers, as well as through the raging rapids at Hell's Gate.In Lytton Highway 12, following the old Cariboo Waggon Road, branches off to Lillooet 70 km (44 mi.) north on the Fraser River (Nugget Route).

If anyone has played this game based on the White Wolf world of darkness license which is now out of print, originally produced by Wizards, it seems like it would be a great fit for a living card game for it's multi-player appeal.
Here is the boardgamegeek entry for those unfamiliar with the original game:

VTES was an ok game to start with, but mechanically it bogged down after WW released a few expansionsdied under it's own weight.
Looking for Call of Cthulhu and Arkham Horror players in Cambridgeshire, UK.
There were over 60 different people playing Vampire at Origins Game Fair in June.
Thursday's Last Chance Qualifier had 55 players.
Friday's North America Championship Day 1 had 47 players while 17 different people participated in the Shadow Twin #1 event happening at the same time.
Saturday's North America Championship Day 2 had 25 players (all those that qualified after Day 1) and the Shadow Twin #2 event happening at the same time saw 24 more players.
Sunday's First Chance Qualifier had 43 players.
Pretty good for a game no longer being supported.
I have read posts that tournaments in Europe have drawn over 100 players.
I'd love to see Vampire become a LCG. With no new material I don't know how long it will continue to hold my interest.
Without Signature
A dream would be a vampire: dark ages variant with the basic vtes rules as an lcg. our playgroup would by anything available
… quoth the raven nevermore
I pray for this constantly. I had a strong love affair with WoD back in the day, though, for a variety of reasons I didn't jump on VTES until...... late July 2010 . I essentially got into the Game of Thrones LCG in order to soothe the sting.
Despite my desperate wishes, and with the caveat that I'm only really a dabbler in the whole CCG/LCG scene (the two previous games mentioned being my only real forays), I think that dude above has a point: the game seemed to suffer from hella bloat in it's latter days. Stuffing those into expansion packs at £10 a pop might be tricky.
Also... (oof, I'm on thin ice here) the art quality of VTES and other CCGs tend to be a LOT better than what I've seen of LCG cards so far (i.e CoC and AGoT). Are there any implications?
Nevertheless, I'd cry with joy if I ever see that VTES became an LCG. I really really really love that game.
Ia! Ia! Shub-Niggurath yadda yadda yadda...
Winter Is Coming. Look Busy!
I never played V:TES, but I like the concept, especially the game's emphasis on the social element. My wallet would absolutely back "Vampire: The Rebirth," or whatever they decided to call it.
Would it use the WoD, or NWoD for the setting?
"Truth has power. And if we all gravitate toward similar ideas, maybe we do so because those ideas are true…written deep within us. And when we hear the truth, even if we don't understand it, we feel that truth resonate within us…vibrating with our unconscious wisdom. Perhaps the truth is not learned by us, but rather, the truth is re-called…re-membered…re-cognized…as that which is already inside us." Peter Solomon, The Lost Symbol
I imagine it could only work as old World of Darkness if it wanted to maintain any form of backwards compatibility...
Ia! Ia! Shub-Niggurath yadda yadda yadda...
Winter Is Coming. Look Busy!
The prpblem with Vampire may be that there was not any card limit to individual card. So 30 same card to the deck was just fine. But it is not impossible. I can live with 3 card limit just fine. The strong point is that there are not any other vampire themed games around. The Call of Cthulhu comes near.
Vampire is/was strong multiplayer game. But the problem maybe the theme. I like Vampire but many friends of mine newer were interested in vampyre themed game… Vampire does have strong followers, but it was newer very wide group. Hard to say how well it would managa in lcg format. There is potential though!
Without Signature
I used to like the vampire ccg but everyone in my meta used to love playing the rage ccg game instead.
If Ffg did decide to make a world of darkness lcg I'd hope they put their own spin on it and not copy the original games too closely, maybe vampires vs. werewolves vs. hunters.
I wouldn't count on this ever happening, not unless White Wolf gets dumped by the Eve Online guys and bought up by FFG. White Wolf doesn't play well with others, which is why the Wizards CCG partnership didn't last.
VtES was one of my favorite CCGs (and I played a lot). I'd love to see this game made into an LCG. The LCG format is much better than the CCG, and this was a fantastic multiplayer game.
I eat words for breakfast.
I'd be interested if they rebooted Vampire. I imagine that like Netrunner it would be updated and some of the mechanics changed, also I expect they would want to include rules for 2p. But if they did all that, I'm in.

News & Analysis
US Internet Criminalization Now Pursued at State Level – Conn. Attacked
ACLU Blasts 'Electronic Harassment' Bill; Says It Criminalizes Free Speech ... The American Civil Liberties Union of Connecticut is blasting a bill proposed by state prosecutors that would make "electronic harassment" a crime — including such acts as posting information on the Internet that "has the effect of causing substantial embarrassment or humiliation to [a] person within an academic or professional community." The bill, which comes up for a public hearing by the legislature's judiciary committee Thursday, "criminalizes speech that is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution," said Sandra Staub, legal director for the state ACLU. "It's vague. It's overbroad." For example, Staub said, it contains "no standards for substantially interfering with someone's academic performance." – N Hartford Courant
Dominant Social Theme: Now SOPA moves to the states. Good.
Free-Market Analysis: These bills are all about the criminalizing of the Internet. Now that SOPA has been pushed back on the federal front, the action is turning to the states. The idea, in our view, is to whittle away at the Internet bit by bit. Create precedent at the state level and then move in again at the federal level.
The powers-that-be don't like the Internet or what we call the Internet Reformation that has changed the context of the power debate in the US and throughout the world.
The Internet has exposed the memes of the elite, the dominant social themes that are used to promote world government by scaring people into cooperating with internationalist facilities like the UN.
The powers-that-be are using the same strategies as regards the Internet. They are trying to convince people that a series of organized electrons are as a dangerous as a dark alley on a bad side of town. The Internet needs to be seriously policed and criminalized.
SOPA itself was an attempt at this criminalization. Here's something from Wikipedia on the bill, which has not passed thus far:
The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is a United States bill introduced by U.S. Representative Lamar S. Smith (R-TX) to expand the ability of U.S. law enforcement to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods. Provisions include the requesting of court orders to bar advertising networks and payment facilities from conducting business with infringing websites, and search engines from linking to the sites, and court orders requiring Internet service providers to block access to the sites. The law would expand existing criminal laws to include unauthorized streaming of copyrighted content, imposing a maximum penalty of five years in prison. A similar bill in the U.S. Senate is titled the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA).
Whether or not these bills are being written by well-meaning people, they have the result of turning a free-speech arena into a criminally patrolled environment. As a result, communication will suffer and the ability of people to explain to each other the Way the World Works will also degrade. Here's more from the article excerpted above:
As the bill is written, someone could be charged with electronic harassment — and, theoretically, jailed for up to a year and fined $2,000 because the crime would be a "class A" misdemeanor — if he or she posted information about a person that was true, Staub said. For example, she said, even if a student posted accurate information on Facebook saying that a certain professor had committed misconduct in the past, and that professor found it embarrassing or humiliating, the professor could ask the police to arrest the student.
Civil statutes and long-established case law already deal with allegations of defamation — a person can sue for slander or libel if his or her reputation is damaged by untrue information — and there's no need to criminalize the issue, Staub said.
The virtue of civil defamation law is that a person cannot be held liable for defamation if the offending statement is true, Staub said, noting that the "electronic harassment" bill, as written, even removes truth as a defense.
Besides, Staub said, in a free society citizens should be able to offer negative opinions that may not even be absolute fact. Students should be allowed to rate the performance of professors, for example, by offering criticisms that they are inept or seem to take their lectures right out of some textbook, Staub said. "We have a constitutional right to annoy, bother, and offend, basically."
Whatever else the ACLU may be, they have moments when they perform a real service, as in this case. There is nothing on the Internet that needs another law to confront it, as Staub herself notes. "Moreover, there are already criminal laws under which people are arrested for threatening and harassing others, she said. These existing criminal statutes contain well-established standards for what constitutes a crime — such as making statements to a person that cause him or her to fear physical harm."
Perhaps a key point made in the article is a statement by Staub that the bill, Senate Bill 456, "has emerged seemingly out of nowhere, relatively far into the legislative session ... 'I have no idea why this bill is here.'"
We think we do, though. The US is apparently in the grip of directed history. A small criminal clique has grasped control of the US and is driving the country and the world toward global government. The Internet stands in their way and they will destroy it if they can.
Who knows if the Connecticut bill will go anywhere. It is "overly broad," to say the least. But its introduction in Connecticut – a fascist mess of a state – is notable.
It does seem, in our humble view, to mark another expansion of the elite's war against the Internet in the US. Perhaps there are similar initiatives being pursued in other states as well.
Conclusion: They begin at the federal level. That's the first and simplest option. But now they are likely starting to work their way down to state and even municipal levels if necessary. This is how the dialectic is pursued.

The intellectual property deficits and deficiencies though are easily remedied and reversed with the only obvious difficulty being in identifying who is to be contacted to share and enable implementation of the solutions. Casting pearls before swine is not going to achieve anything, is it, hence that present dilemma to be pondered on, and even considered to have no solution in the local population and thus would it need to to be shared further afield and in foreign fields, as we are all in this together apparently/allegedly …..

Or do you disagree, and posit that it cannot be so easily abused and used?

Even worse than SOPA: New CISPA cybersecurity bill will censor the Web
Click to view link
H.R. 3523, a piece of legislation dubbed the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (or CISPA for short), has been created under the guise of being a necessary implement in America's war against cyberattacks. But the vague verbiage contained within the pages of the paper could allow Congress to circumvent existing exemptions to online privacy laws and essentially monitor, censor and stop any online communication that it considers disruptive to the government or private parties. Critics have already come after CISPA for the capabilities that it will give to seemingly any federal entity that claims it is threatened by online interactions, but unlike the Stop Online Privacy Act and the Protect IP Acts that were discarded on the Capitol Building floor after incredibly successful online campaigns to crush them, widespread recognition of what the latest would-be law will do has yet to surface to the same degree.

The Internet was better when there were less idiots online. Now everyone and their grandmother knows how to publish a blog and having a Facebook account is a requirement for job interviewers.
With all of these new idiots in the system, someone has to keep them safe. Big government is all to happy to oblige. There was a time when the Internet was obscure enough that nobody cared. The ISP was more likely to call you on the phone with a stern warning concerning your youthful hacking mistakes than call the police.
Now there are a million services like siteadvisor and mywot that help the public decide what is a 'safe' website and what is 'potentially malicious' whatever that means.
Using the Internet to get paid? Not without the express blessings of the FTC I hope. The Internet has just become too big of a target for regulators. Touch typists who have no business behind a keyboard are getting taken advantage of. Big government has been named the vengeful champion of people who are too lazy or incompetent to take responsibility for educating themselves.
DB, check the FTC's recent actions against the affiliate marketing community. Note that the FTC is not taking action against the same behaviors from other bigger networks including cable TV ads. In the next years we will see more of these companies moving overseas to avoid regulation.

Section 230 Revision Will Likely Impact Anonymous Internet Speech
Click to view link
Joe Lieberman is proposing an amendment to section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. That is the law that gives immunity to information content providers for the conduct of others. In other words, a blogger or forum host isn't responsible for defamatory comments by anonymous commenters.
This amendment to that law would change that, by stripping out the immunity and leaving web hosts potentially liable.

Latest Press Release
29 April 2013
TeamBG and IDF Europe join forces for GSMA mHealth Grand Tour cycle ride from Brussels to Barcelona
Biking for diabetes: the International Diabetes Federation Europe joins the Team Blood Glucose squad
London & Brussels: Riders from IDF Europe will join TeamBG on the GSMA mHealth Grand Tour, a cycle ride from Brussels to Barcelona in September 2013. The joint team will be made up of non-professional riders, all with one mission: to raise awareness of diabetes and of the importance of sports and exercise as a tool for the management of all types of diabetes and in some cases, the prevention of type 2 diabetes.
Raising awareness and demonstrating that amateur riders with diabetes can take part in any sporting challenge, the squad is made up of riders representing the Diabetes Online Community (#doc). "We have riders from all over the world sharing a common goal: to demonstrate that anyone living with the chronic, lifelong condition that is diabetes can achieve their sporting and exercise goals" said Paul Buchanan, TeamBG Founder & CEO.
"By joining forces with TeamBG on the tour, we want to educate, empower and inspire people living with diabetes. We look forward to engaging with the diabetes community all over Europe to spread the word and show that anything is possible even when you live with this condition", added Sophie Peresson, IDF Europe Regional Director.
Worldwide there are 371 million people with diabetes. In Europe alone, 55 million people live with diabetes – that is 8.5% of Europe's adult population. Modern lifestyles, eating habits and lack of physical activity are important risk factors for developing diabetes. Through their partnership on the GSMA mHealth Grand Tour, IDF Europe and TeamBG will raise awareness on the benefits of sports and physical activity not only for diabetes prevention, but also as an essential tool in the self-management and therapy of diabetes.
The mHealth Grand Tour is organized by the GSMA, the organization that represents the interests of mobile operators worldwide. The GSMA mHealth Grand Tour will bring together the diabetes community and the mobile and healthcare industries to raise awareness of diabetes and to promote healthy and active living, and also to showcase how mobile health solutions can empower people with diabetes.

I've run into a problem with asm dependencies when added apache cxf in spring.
I've added apache cxf in maven:
After adding apache cxf I'm getting (on pastebin as it's to long to forum):Code:<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId> <artifactId>cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws</artifactId> <version>${cxf.version}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId> <artifactId>cxf-rt-transports-http</artifactId> <version>${cxf.version}</version> </dependency>
I've read that it can be because of hibernate - but I removed hibernate dependency in pom.xml (as I used it long time ago) and I'm still getting this problem.
I can only suspect that spring-asm is conflicting with apache-cxf asm. Does anyone know a solution to this??

Pokemon, food and fun
Two and a half years ago, Gary Naccarato of Kingston was looking for somewhere his 9-year-old son Taylor could find socialization skills. He found a Pokemon card league at the local Burger King on Route 9W in the town of Ulster that has been a perfect draw.
Jesse Kiernan, who founded the league, taught Taylor the ins and outs of the role-play card game.
"As he was learning, I would sit behind him and I picked up playing," Naccarato said. "We come here and it's great. We come in and nobody picks on him, nobody excludes him, everybody loves him and they treat him like family."
Kiernan, 23, who attended John A. Coleman Catholic High School, started the league four years ago, and the clubbers have been finding their way to Burger King on Wednesday nights ever since.
"I started it so kids in this area and people in this area would have a venue to play Pokemon," she said. "There are other leagues around the country, but there was none in Ulster County."
Kiernan said she filled out an application on the Pokemon website and got permission to start a local league. She then advertised by putting up signs at the Burger King and other places around the area.
About 75 youngsters are signed up in the league, but only about 20 to 25 show up on any given week to trade collectible cards, engage in battle and earn prizes.
"Different kids show up every week," Kiernan says.
The league became so popular that Kiernan started another one on Tuesday nights at the Burger King on Broadway in Kingston.
Kiernan's mother, Jo Ann, said she is proud of her daughter, who began playing Pokemon when she was just 9. "The kids who come have companionship with people they have things in common with," Jo Ann Kiernan said. "They make new friends. Jesse stresses good sportsmanship in playing, so they learn a lot about how to interact with other people. Continued...
"She did a wonderful thing. These kids were really missing out on this because there was the interest, but there was no place to play. We've had some kids who had a difficult time making friends, but they come in here and they're welcomed with open arms. Jesse is a mentor for these kids."
The younger Kiernan said she provides rides to Pokemon events in the Albany area. The league also holds birthday parties each month. The honored members get a new pack of Pokemon cards to help mark the day.
They come to me with all sorts of problems, not just Pokemon-related," Kiernan says. "I do what I can to help them.
"I've had some kids here who were really shy and withdrawn when they first came and now they're regulars."
Kiernan remembers one boy in particular who showed up, but was overwhelmed by the large number of Pokemon players and feared he wouldn't fit in. He bolted from the restaurant, but Jesse chased him down and persuaded him to give it a try.
"He's a regular now," she says.
Kiernan has plenty of help. Her "co-gym leaders" are 12-year-old Logan Connelly and Vincent Smith, 22, of Kingston.
Smith says he was a loner and didn't have much of a family life growing up and he found solace in Pokemon. "The way I dealt with life was playing cards," he said.
Smith brings youngsters to the league from the Broadway East apartment complex in Kingston who otherwise couldn't attend. He was instrumental in starting the second league at the Burger King on Broadway so more youngsters could join.
"It's a great way to keep the kids out of trouble," he said. "You get a great sense of socialization here. All of the kids here are very friendly. You get to meet nice, new people, both adults and kids. Continued...
"It's great for the kids to get out, away from school and work, away from the home, and just enjoy themselves."
Lewis Mori, 9, who lives in Miami, Fla., attended the local league one Wednesday night while visiting relatives in the Kingston area. She was so impressed she plans to start a league near her home.
"Everyone here is very good friends and have open hearts," she said.
The Pokemon card series is based on the Pokemon video game series. So what makes it so much fun?
The youngsters say they enjoying battling one another other and see how they match up against others. Parents say the game teaches reading and comprehension and is an excellent exercise for young minds, even as they have fun.
"There's always adventure and there's a lot of creatures," Mori said.
Athena Andrews, 9, of Kingston, agreed.
"You get to battle other people and you make friends and we win prizes," she said.
If you look closely during each league meeting, you will also notice adults playing like Terri Sammons, who brings her 12-year-old daughter Tiffany.
"I like coming here to play with the kids and show them good sportsmanship," Sammons said. "It's a fun game to play. It keeps them off the streets." Continued...
Tiffany Sammons says she enjoys trading and collecting cards, which she spends hours organizing. "It's so much fun,' she said.
Jo Ann Kiernan said that all clubbers who attend, even the newer youngsters, are "just part of the group."
"It is like a family here," she said.
If one of the players is short on money, the parents all chip in to make sure they can eat, according to Jo Ann Kiernan.
"They eat and they play," she said. "No one goes hungry here."
Jason Harucki, manager of the Burger King on Ulster Avenue, said the league is a "good thing for everyone involved."
"Obviously the kids love it," he said. "It's good for me from a business standpoint because they do bump my sales up quite a bit. They seem to have a good time, so I think it's great.
"If they need anything, I'm glad to help them out. They keep to themselves otherwise, so I think it's a wonderful thing that they're here."

You Can't Make Me Doubt
LP (Item 609463) Mississippi, Early 90s — Condition: New Copy
Timeless blues work from Boyd Rivers – played on both acoustic and electric guitar, but with a classic spirit that stretches back to the days of the delta! The recordings are from the early 90s, but done in a way that feels like they're from decades before – clear enough to bring out the best tones in Rivers' guitar and vocals, yet with a spare, stripped-down vibe that shows little change in the evolution of the blues over the 20th century! Titles include "Won't It Be Grand", "I Want To Be At The Meeting", "Get Away Jordan", "That Fire Shed In My Bones", "You Can't Make Me Doubt", "Church House Rock", and "When The World Seems Cold". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

ELMIRA, N.Y. -- The Elmira City School District is facing another budget crisis for the upcoming year. The proposed 2013-2014 budget was presented to the school board Wednesday night.
The superintendent outlined several options to address a $6.1 million deficit, including a tax hike. He said if they stick to the 2-percent tax cap, the deficit would drop to $5.5 million. Going over the cap, with a 4.67 percent increase would bring it down to $4.7 million.
Cuts to services are also part of the plan.
The superintendent says the funding formula has left them with few options.
Elmira City School District Superintendent Joseph Hochreiter said, "This district has cut a lot of expenses over the last four years and sadly that continues to be the trend. The reality is that health insurance and pension costs are outpacing are ability to bring in new revenue, and are outpacing our increases in state aid."
Also revealed were plans to possibly sell several vacant buildings in the district. That money would go toward balancing the budget.

Job hazards underscored in woodworking study
Martin E. Personick and Elyce A. Biddle
"A man builds a fine house; and, now he
has a master, and a task for life..."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society and Solitude (1870)
Emerson concludes his discourse on house responsibilities in terms all too familiar to today's homeowner: "...to furnish, watch, show it, and keep it in repair the rest of his days." For many, repairs now include residential upkeep and improvement, such as replacing well-worn windows, adding on a garage, or even remodeling to create new rooms. Clearly, structural improvements such as these are designed to make a fine house even finer.
This article profiles the work and working conditions in millwork manufacturing-an industry whose output of fabricated wood products is primarily used both in maintaining, remodeling, and renovating existing residences and in constructing new homes. The industry's three major product categories-doors (including garage doors) and related parts, windows and window parts, and standard molding and trim-account for about four-fifths of the total value of millwork shipments (about $8.4 billion in 1987). Other millwork products include staircases and stairs, blinds and shutters, and ornamental woodwork, such as cornices and mantels. Almost all millwork manufacturers specialize in a particular class of product, for example, wood window units. In addition to their primary products, however, these plants typically fabricate secondary woodwork items.1

This Planet Is Doomed – The Science Fiction Poetry Of Sun Ra (paperback)
Book (Item 577065) Norton/Kicks, 2011 — Condition: New Copy
The Science Fiction Poetry of Sun Ra – complete and unabidged – in a great, kinda old school hip pocket paperback-styled tome from Kicks Books! As revered as Sun Ra is, was, and will forever be as one of the great avant garde bandleaders and all around musical innovators of the 20th Century, his work as an Afro-futurist poet is overlooked. This book aims to change that, but not in a precious way at all. It's sort of presented as a fun little pulp paperback. Includes a nice forward by Amiri Baraka and an intro by science fiction historian Bhob Stewart, who does a terrific job of detailing Ra's 60s poetry and his quite genuine relevence in that realm!

"We want your kid to leave here safer than when they arrived," WCES captain Traci Napier Reece said.
Eighty three percent of child safety seats that have been inspected were installed wrong by parents, based on six years of data collected during checks in Walker County.
The personnel are at LaFayette WalMart parking lot on through 6 p.m. today (Sept. 21) and will be at Jackson Chevrolet on Sept. 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
A $20 donation is suggested if the child seat needs to be exchanged. The team purchases the seats from WalMart for $40.
Parents may also have their child's seat inspected by appointment at the Georgia State Patrol headquarters in LaFayette, WCES headquarters, or at fire station No. 1 in Rock Spring.

Dreaming? Deron Williams linked to Suns once again
Originally published: Jun 20, 2012 - 9:08 am
A three-time All-Star, Williams has career averages of 17.6 points and 9.2 assists per game, and is regarded as one of the best point guards in the NBA.
And, with the Suns possibly losing Steve Nash in free agency and having a desire to get younger and more athletic anyway, there are some who think they could be in the mix for the younger Williams' services.
Of course, could is the operative word, because as ESPN's Chris Broussard points out, Williams' top choice is to remain with the Nets, while signing with his hometown Dallas Mavericks is next in line.
After that, though, he brings up the Suns, noting they are probably the "only other team with enough cap room to offer Williams a maximum contract that can get in the mix for him."
The weather and golf (Williams is a huge golf guy) is great, the offense is free-flowing (something Williams is definitely looking for) and with him, the team could be on the rise. While the Suns' first choice appears to be to re-sign Nash, the younger Williams is obviously a better option. I don't think the Suns could move ahead of Dallas on Williams' list, but they should not be completely discounted, either.
The good news is that he thinks the Suns should not be discounted, while the bad news is it appears the Suns really would prefer to re-sign the 38-year-old and declining Steve Nash over the 27-year-old and in his prime Williams.
Sure, Nash is still playing well and is the face of the franchise, but swapping him for Williams, who averaged 21 points and 8.7 assists per game last season, would help the Suns be competitive now and in the future.
So, the idea that they'd prefer to keep Nash rather than sign Williams, if given the choice, is a little puzzling. However, there is no guarantee Nash even wants to stick around, just like there's nothing saying Williams actually wants to head to Phoenix.
So they may not really have a choice between the two, anyway.
But for now, at least, there's a chance, and that's really about all the Suns could ask for.

Despite pleading for her freedom this week, Williamson resident Dr. Diane Shafer, 60, was sentenced to six months in prison for operating a pill mill. But not just any pill mill, Shafer's was deemed one of the most prolific in the state. According to court documents, Shafer was investigated by the state police and FBI after numerous complaints.
At the sentencing, U.S. District Judge John Copenhaver spoke of the "scourge of drugs in our region."
He's more than right. Families have been torn apart. Children left parentless. Grandparents who should be in the twilight of their lives, have been caring for a second and sometimes third generation of children. Violent crimes, shoplifting, robberies and home invasions have been on the increase.
Our local police departments have been over-run with drug-related crimes to the point of exhaustion.
We know Dr. Shafer isn't a "bad" person. She has been an active member of the community. Months before her sentencing she was still a member of the Williamson Rotary Club and a CPR instructor for the Red Cross. She has volunteered her time with these organizations for a number of years.
But somewhere along the line, this once-respectable doctor succumbed to the oldest of evils, greed. Clearly she wasn't thinking it was in her patients' best interests to be prescribed un-godly amounts of prescription pills. Perhaps she was oblivious to the horrors those pills have caused in these hills. But we doubt it.
Six months in prison and $5,000 in fines? That's about the lightest of sentences we can imagine.
We don't know, but we can't imagine the judge even considered the number of overdose deaths that could have resulted in her clear negligence. Over an 8-year period, Shafer wrote 118,445 controlled substance prescriptions. That's more than what four pain-management doctor's in Charleston wrote … combined.
Shafer pleaded guility in May to a conspiracy charge. She also surrendered her physician's license and was "cooperating" with prosecutors. Maybe that's why her sentence was so light, but regardless of her "true remorse", we can't believe that sends the right message. Look around, prescription pill abuse is a major problem and one that isn't ending soon.
Ultimately it comes down to a person's morale compass. Shafer knew what she was doing wasn't right, but instead of opening her eyes and seeing the damage prescription pills are causing across Mingo County and our state, she closed her eyes and saw dollar signs.

Every member of our community has the right to feel safe and respected. We seek to treat every individual with sensitivity and compassion and will not tolerate any form of harassment. Harassment is any abuse of an individual or group based on ethnic origin, religious beliefs, race, sexual orientation, gender, age, or grade in school. It includes both easily identified acts of verbal, written or physical abuse, and equally damaging forms of harassment such as graffiti, epithets, stereotypical remarks of "humor" or any behavior—regardless of intent—that contributes to the creation of a hostile environment in which to live and learn.
Sensitivity, openness and candor are important to an atmosphere in which students can grow. Impinging on the wellbeing or violating the rights of others is not tolerated. Any incidents involving sexual or any other harassment, racial, religious, or ethnic intolerance, physical injuries or threats, and fighting will be dealt with as disciplinary matters. Furthermore, the community does not tolerate humiliating or potentially harmful "rites of passage" or "initiations" and such behaviors will be treated as disciplinary matters.
All community members should review Deerfield's Anti-Bullying and Harassment Policy.
In addition, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has specific standards: Chapter 269 of the General Laws, Section 17-19 mandates the reporting of cases of hazing. From Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 269: Whoever is a principal organizer or participant in the crime of hazing, as defined herein, shall be punished by a fine of not more than three thousand dollars or by imprisonment in a house of correction for not more than one year, or both such fine and imprisonment. The term "hazing" shall mean any conduct or method of initiation into any student organization, whether on public or private property, which willfully or recklessly endangers the physical or mental health of any student or other person. Whoever knows that another person is the victim of hazing and is at the scene of such crime shall, to the extent that such person can do so without danger or peril to himself or others, report such crime to an appropriate law enforcement official as soon as reasonably practicable. Whoever fails to report such crime shall be punished by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars.
Sexual harassment is sometimes more difficult to identify and understand than other forms of harassment. The overriding factor in sexual harassment is that the offending behavior is uninvited and/or unwanted. It can be subtle and ambiguous, or direct and overt. It is not social or courting behavior. Sexual harassment may include:
Upon investigation, the school will take action in substantiated cases of harassment. Depending on the circumstances and the severity or repetition of the offense, the response may range from Reprimand up to and including dismissal for a student or termination of employment for an adult.
The school seeks to assure any individual who raises a substantiated complaint that he/she will not be subject to any further forms of harassment. Therefore, the school will also take action in cases of retaliation toward someone making a complaint about harassment. Depending on the circumstances, the response may range from Reprimand up to and including dismissal for a student or termination of employment for an adult.
