Right so, just got my "new" (used) phone delivered today. 6 months old, currently running stock 4.4.2 with Sense 6.0 under the GiffGaff network. Straight away I went and tried to flash a new ROM onto it (flashed a few roms previously to my HTC Sensation with no problems). So just the usual routine: fastboot > HTCdev > get token ... and here where the first problem occurred. I couldn't get the token as I was getting the following error:
OKAY [ 0.010s]
finished. total time: 0.010s
Restarting the phone/PC didn't help, changing USB debug on/off also didn't help. Fastboot unlock oem command didn't work either as it gave me the same error. So I went and downloaded the Hasoon2000's AIO tool to see if that will work but again no luck. When hitting the "Get Token ID" I get an error that the phone is offline - . - . So I had a little search on the net and found out that maybe it's due to my HBOOT version which is 1.57 and is S-ON . However I have no idea how to change that nor if it'll actually solve my problem and I don't want to do anything outside the box so that I don't get my phone bricked.
Any ideas what might be wrong/what am I doing wrong/solutions? I'm clueless at the moment and about to run out of patience... Any help is more then welcome

Last month's sudden release of the "West Memphis 3" after nearly 20 years of incarceration was a dramatic end to a case that's still riddled with questions. The 1994 convictions of Damien Echols (who was sentenced to death), Jesse Misskelley and Jason Baldwin (both sentenced to life) were overturned by the obscure Alford Plea, which allowed them to plead guilty for killing three young children in the Arkansas woods while maintaining their innocence.
Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky's widely popular 1996 HBO documentary "Paradise Lost: The Child Case at Robin Hood Hills" brought the case intense media attention, as well as support from celebrities and activists. Their 2000 follow-up, "Paradise Lost 2: Revelations," tracked that uptick in attention to the case while wallowing in the boys' ongoing captivity. The franchise, if you can call it that, has grown increasingly self-referential.
The latest events transpired so quickly that the filmmakers chronicling the saga couldn't keep up. They were putting the finishing touches on "Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory" last month when the news forced them to change the ending. The unfinished version premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival a few days ago, ahead of the screening of the final cut that will take place at the New York Film Festival in October. It's unfair to give a conventional review to something that amounts to a rough cut, but the existing version invites analysis for the way it expands on the existing material.
The "Paradise Lost" movies play a key role in the legacy of the West Memphis 3 by engineering the prisoners' fame. "Paradise Lost 3" actively engages with the impact of the original documentary, opening with a 1994 newscast about Berlinger and Sinofsky while they were filming in Arkansas. More than a sequel, the movie is also a lengthy flashback that studies its roots. That decision might suggest pomposity, but for good reason.
As with the other installments, "Paradise Lost 3" contains two story strands woven together. Its intimate subplot revolves around the current lives of the convicted trio, who continue to profess their innocence and maintain hope for redemption. Misskelley reveals the clock tattoo on his bald scalp that lacks arms, representing the timeless nature of his daily existence. Echols married a woman 10 years earlier, an architect who was so moved by the first documentary that she traveled from New York to meet him, and has learned to embrace his off-kilter path. "I have an incredible life," he says, having come along way from calling himself a "boogie man" at the conclusion of the first movie.
The movie's larger concern involves greater precision. Details from each West Memphis 3 trial prove the absurd biases that led to their convictions, from a close-minded judge to jury foreman Kent Arnold, who swayed the initial jury's decision. An "occult expert" used in the trial to cast an evil shadow on Echols' gothic interests lacks any serious credentials.
Many of these injustices were glossed over in the earlier movies. The biggest problem with the "Paradise Lost" approach comes from the emphasis on the ineffective trial rather than material that might exonerate the prisoners. "Paradise Lost 3" responds to that concern, thanks to developments in crime scene research that have taken place since the earlier movies. New evidence brought by DNA analysis suggests the presence of Terry Hobbs, one of the murdered boys' stepfathers, at the scene of the crime.
When Hobbs sued Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines for defamation of character after she wrote about his potential culpability online, the ensuing trial was videotaped, adding a new possible villain to the "Paradise 3" lore. This footage makes up for the filmmakers' inability to bring cameras into any courtroom since the first film.
In addition to offering a deeper look at the West Memphis 3 case, "Paradise Lost 3" revisits its most colorful characters, particularly John Mark Byers, another eccentric stepfather whose offbeat anger stole the show in the preceding entries.By rambling on about the prisoners' guilt every time the camera turned his way, he invited suspicion of his own guilt from dozens of interested parties. Since the new evidence was revealed, Byers remarkably changed his mind and has become an ardent defender of the convicted men's innocence. One of the best scenes finds him reading a letter of gratitude that Echols wrote him from prison.
By now, you're either wrapped up in the "Paradise Lost" series or oblivious to it; those in the latter category probably won't perceive the third movie as anything more than an extended news special. However, there's a natural progression that holds the trilogy together in a unique narrative rarely seen elsewhere.
"Paradise Lost 3" currently ends on the brink of a new evidentiary trial before revealing in a fleeting end credit that the trio was released in August. There's obviously a big gap to fill here, and it's unlikely that, for the final cut, the filmmakers will slip in a new climax, given that it took 18 years to get there. Produced in a TV-ready format, the "Paradise Lost" trilogy doesn't always make for great cinema, but it's weighted with a purpose that just got a whole lot heavier. Chances are good that the final cut won't lighten the load.
Because this film is not completed, it will receive a criticWIRE grade at a later date.
HOW WILL IT PLAY? Because of the new developments, HBO has decided to give "Paradise Lost 3" an awards-qualifying theatrical run. It should do solid business in limited released due to the media spotlight on the case, but clearly it's biggest audience lies with TV viewers. Whether it faces major competition in awards season remains to be seen.

2005 Scion xA (4 Reviews)
I bought the car new and have had it for over 6 years. It has 117,000 miles on it, and I've never had a problem. I use snow tires in the winter and commute 50 miles a day easily. In fact, the car's short wheelbase makes for a pretty stable ride in the snow. Love it!!
We have had this car since new and now have over 100,000 miles and the only problem is the water pump on the engine. we got 60k on the first one, 40k on the second one. Mobil 1 oil always! Runs like new and everything stills works fine.
Was driving yesterday and the car stopped in the middle of the highway and would not start. The ABS light was on at one point the check engine light went on then off again, the check oil light went on then off again. I had to call 911 to get help. The police came and tried to crank it but to no avail. It was then towed to the dealership and they said nothing is wrong with it. They did a diagnostics with their computer and say the car if fine. Then what really happened on the highway? I When snowing I have a hard time with my brakes, they keep slipping. This car maybe cheap but it is dangerous.
I've had this car since it had 1300 miles on it and I now have almost 50000. I've not had one problem as of yet! Great on gas (I travel 60 miles a day to work). There is also a lot of room in this vehicle. I'm not a small person and I also haul around 2 100+ rotties in it :)

Federal student aid need analysis: Background and selected simplification issues
Congressional Research Service
Short Description:
The complexity of the federal system for calculating student need in the student financial aid system may pose a barrier for aid-eligible students, particularly low-income students.
The complexity of the federal system for calculating student need in the student financial aid system may pose a barrier for aid-eligible students, particularly low-income students. Two key simplification questions addressed in this report are: How much of the data currently collected by the FAFSA is used to determine the EFC and eligibility for federal aid? And can the EFC be calculated using fewer data?

If the video games industry is a game of baseball, then Gamescom is Sony's chance to knock the proverbial ball out of the park. After all, 2013 is a crucial period for the Japanese hardware manufacturer. With the launch of PlayStation 4 due this holiday season and PlayStation Vita in desperate need of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to keep it on its legs, the company has the chance to convince punters to spend their hard-earned cash on its products this Christmas. E3 notwithstanding, Gamescom the best place to trumpet all things PlayStation.
With Sony's Gamescom presser inexorably approaching (it's tomorrow evening, in case you didn't know), PSU.com thought it would be good to cobble together a list of 5 things that we feel Sony simply has to deliver at Gamescom to win over the crowd.
- - - - -
Sony announced a fair few PS4 titles in the months following its February reveal, culminating in an impressive showing at E3 a few months back. However, there's still plenty of time to announce a few surprise titles, and the notion that the company has already shot its bolt is too worrying to entertain. As such, we feel that a couple of Gamescom shockers would be just the ticket to turn heads as we enter the last few months leading up to PS4's release. And no, we're not going to chicken out and suggest Sony lifts the lid on Uncharted 4 or a new God of War; how about some fresh, exciting new IP to drive the next-generation of hardware? This is the ideal opportunity for Sony's first-party studios to offer us a glimpse at what franchises will define their experiences on PS4 going forward. How about something new from Quantic Dream or Sony Santa Monica?
We know how much PS4 is going to cost, and roughly when the new machine will be in shops. However, it's about time that Sony stopped flirting with its holiday 2013 launch window and begun full-blown love affair with that all-important release date. Rumors have suggested an October launch, although this seems a bit too early in our view; November is more likely, and would make sense when you consider past console releases. Gamescom is the perfect platform for Sony to unveil full launch details on its next-generation powerhouse, and hopefully give us a clue on what other titles we can expect on day one beyond the obvious.
Ah, this old chesnut again. True, every man and his dog has singled the end of Sony's high-powered handheld for the past eight months or so, but the fact is these concerns are no less pertinent now than they were at the beginning of the year. PS Vita needs a shot in the arm, and unless Sony pulls out all the stops at Gamescom (or in the months after), then come the start of 2014 we can't really see how the company is going to turn the portable's fortunes around. It's a great piece of tech, and there's some superb games on it – that can't be denied. However, this is becoming a tenuous argument when Joe Public just isn't getting it, and probably won't until it gets the GTA, Gran Turismo, Metal Gear or Call of Duty (no, Black Ops Declassified was an absolute shambles and doesn't count) that the mainstream instantly connect with. It's not just software either; Sony could reinvigorate PS Vita sales by slashing the handheld's price or offering some juicy bundles on offer – PS4 and PS Vita together, anyone?
PS3 may have turned seven-years-old in 2013, but that doesn't mean we should write it off yet. Quite the contrary, as the console still has a few heavy hitters up its sleeves this year, including the Quantic Dream exclusive, Beyond: Two Souls. Aside from that, we still have the promising-looking Until Dawn, and a plethora of third-party titles on the way, including Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, which boasts exclusive content. Still, we're willing to bet this isn't the last of the big PS3 exclusives, and there still could be one or two new titles to be announced at Gamescom. After all, PS2 got God of War II in its seventh year, and PS3 is likely to stick around for many more years to come – who's to stay it's going to slowly retire just yet? The Last Guardian would be a superb showstopper, as we're still holding on to hope that the Team ICO juggernauts is still in the works for Sony's trusty old work horse.
PlayStation Plus has been a resounding success for Sony, and the service will prove even more important to the PlayStation ecosystem as we transition into the next generation of consoles. In fact, analysts are already confident in the service's future, expecting Sony to rake in $1.7 billion from PS4 PS Plus subscribers. Sure, Sony is now asking consumers to pay for online gaming, but the excellent premium service players have experienced to date remains; so you can expect all the usual extras of becoming a subscriber. However, there's still plenty of folk out there who haven't take the PS Plus plunge, and as such Sony would be wise to unveil some juicy deals/promotions at Gamescom to sway punters who are still on the fence.
What do you want to see from Sony's Gamescom showcase? Let us know in the comments section below.

Truth elusive, even in law
Innumerable philosophers across the ages have dedicated their lives to finding the truth; none of them has identified political advertising as a source.
Yet 15 states hold, by law, that such advertising should be a bastion of truth. Their statutes make it illegal for any political advertising to deliberately state falsehoods about candidates.
That's a commendable ideal, of course. It's reprehensible that some candidates or issue advocates deliberately twist their opponents' records or the issues in search of votes.
But due to the complexity of the English language alone, it's extraordinarily difficult in many cases to say that a particular statement is a lie. That's why prosecutors find it so difficult to prove perjury, even if someone's sworn statement is demonstrably incorrect.
Add that inherent complexity to the nuances of public policy, and the line between honesty and lying becomes even fuzzier.
In a case heard last week by the Supreme Court of the United States, for example, a congressional candidate in Ohio contended that an anti-abortion group had misstated his record in advertising. The group contended he had supported abortion by voting for the Affordable Care Act; he contended that the act itself and other federal law precludes use of federal money to pay for abortions.
But the group contends that money is fungible; funds from the ACA for other purposes could enable providers to shift other funding to abortion practices.
That illustrates the difference between literal truth and practical truth in public policy.
Such interpretations are the legitimate stuff of public debate. It's safer to tolerate some element of lying in political advertising than to use anti-lying statutes to stifle political debate.

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Can you tell me a little about the dependency case? What was the result?
Ms Jan has three children ages 2, 6, and 9. The 2yr old is currently in her custody full time and has unsupervised weekend visits with the others. The issue; the 2yrs old has issues with consuming milk sense birth……by age one no solution was found, during a hospital visit Ms Jan was irate with the doctor because she disagreed with his decision something Ms Jan has done or hear a million time she was looking for a solution. The doctor became irate and called Child Protection Services (CPS) the 1yr old now 2yrs was removed from the mother (Ms Jan) (15 months) while at the hospital and 6 yrs was taken as well months later because the 6 yrs old was in moms care at the time. The 6 and 9 yrs have the same father, and the 6 yr old was not visiting father at this time while the 9 yr old was living with dad. Prior to going with dad the 9 yr old lived with mom and was receiving regular weekend visits until mom missed a Sunday pick date causing the 9 yr old to miss school for a week Ms Jan went to pick up the 9 yr old he and dad were not there. The father lives in Vallejo, CA while Ms Jan lives in Sacramento, CA…….she is a single mother of three and was going through stressful time catering to her sick one yr old that how she lost custody of the 9 yr old by missing that Sunday pick up date…. The 6 yr old was not visiting her father why I have no idea.....Ms Jan wants her two children back full time. The 9yr lived with his mother for more than 80 percent of his life I disagree that one mistaken or three different mistakes should not allow Ms Jan not to have all three children back together. 1. She gave her baby regular milk, 2. Missed a pick up date, and 3.married a man already incarcerated the 2yr old father they are now divorced he does not see his 2yr, any of the other children (not his) or Ms Jan no contact what so ever. Ms Jan is a student majoring legal assisting, planning for a BA in communication, and law school. Her current income is loans, financial aid, grants and scholarships and rent is set at $0. She is currently paying $280 mo for the 6 and 9yr living in Vallejo, CA and has to drive there and back every weekend……when the 9 yr old was in her custody she met the father in Vacaville. There has been a two year period where the father of 6 and 9yr had no contact only when accidentally seeing them in a store or the mall. The father quiets his job just to avoid child support. Moreover; the father got on Welfare immediately after the children was in his custody. The father works now with limited transportation he live with his sister and many unknown in the household. The 9yr old was doing fine in school while with mom now with dad the 9yr old my have to repeat a grade in addition the father is hardly ever at home. Ms Jan currently see's the children on the weekend, but has not seem them in three weeks
Can Ms Jan win her case if taken to court?
What would be the minimum to maximum legal fees to take this case?

My problem is that I have a tough 105km MTB race almost as soon as I get back to SA, so I would like to do some good training in the mornings (approx 50 - 60kms per day) while we move along the canal, and secondly, I would like to hire a reasonable bike to take with me on the boat. Can anyone give me any pointers? Thanks

The Berkeley Earth project say they are about to reveal the definitive truth about global warming
Richard Muller of the Berkeley Earth project is convinced his approach will lead to a better assessment of how much the world is warming. Photograph: Dan Tuffs for the Guardian
In 1964, Richard Muller, a 20-year-old graduate student with neat-cropped hair, walked into Sproul Hall at the University of California, Berkeley, and joined a mass protest of unprecedented scale. The activists, a few thousand strong, demanded that the university lift a ban on free speech and ease restrictions on academic freedom, while outside on the steps a young folk-singer called Joan Baez led supporters in a chorus of We Shall Overcome. The sit-in ended two days later when police stormed the building in the early hours and arrested hundreds of students. Muller was thrown into Oakland jail. The heavy-handedness sparked further unrest and, a month later, the university administration backed down. The protest was a pivotal moment for the civil liberties movement and marked Berkeley as a haven of free thinking and fierce independence.
Today, Muller is still on the Berkeley campus, probably the only member of the free speech movement arrested that night to end up with a faculty position there – as a professor of physics. His list of publications is testament to the free rein of tenure: he worked on the first light from the big bang, proposed a new theory of ice ages, and found evidence for an upturn in impact craters on the moon. His expertise is highly sought after. For more than 30 years, he was a member of the independent Jason group that advises the US government on defence; his college lecture series, Physics for Future Presidents was voted best class on campus, went stratospheric on YouTube and, in 2009, was turned into a bestseller.

FOLEY, Christopher Columba
Passed away at home, on Good Friday, April 14, 2006, at the age of 80, in the High Park neighbourhood where he lived for more than 40 years. Christopher was born in Kells, County Meath, Ireland on May 10, 1925. He was the beloved father of Margaret FOLEY and devoted husband to his late wife, Anne Teresa, née CLIFFORD. He is survived by his loving wife Marie Terese, née BONENFANT. Christopher was known affectionately as Christy by his wide circle of Friends, many of whom shared his passion for Irish culture. His was a life marked by a devotion to those institutions that nurtured the values he held dear, among them, the Catholic Church, the St. Vincent de Paul Society and numerous Irish social organizations. Although he moved away from his native Ireland as a teenager, Christy carried his roots with him wherever he went. He flew to Canada in 1948 on one of the early trans-Atlantic flights in search of greater opportunity. It was in Toronto that his enterprising spirit rose to the fore. Christy worked for C.N. Rail and the Royal York Hotel. Saving enough to buy his first home within six months, Christy turned it into yet another opportunity - becoming a landlord and giving other young Irish men a roof over their heads. He worked with the Metro Toronto Waterworks Department for 30 years and continued a close relationship with fellow retirees through the rest of his life. Family, work and his many community activities filled his days. Sickness did nothing to quell his stubborn streak nor dash his great love of travel. Christy will be sorely missed and fondly remembered. He leaves behind his cherished sisters-in-law Margaret HERRING, Evelyn FOLEY and longtime family friend, Mildred CREGAN. He is also survived by his loving nephews and nieces and their families: Ray FOLEY, Ann PALEN, Brian and Thomas HEGARTY, Thomas CARROLL, Peter, Gerard and Michael O'LOUGHLIN and Angela BYRNE. Christy, the youngest of six children born to Margaret SMITH and Thomas FOLEY, is predeceased by all his siblings, Kathleen, Gerty, May, Lily and brother Paddy. Special thanks to his doctor, Eckhart SCHWEIHOFER and Margaret GORECKI, the home care worker who became such a good friend. Visitation for our beloved Christy will be held Tuesday, April 18 and Wednesday, April 19 from 2-4 and 7- 9 p.m. at the Turner and Porter Yorke Chapel, 2357 Bloor Street West, Toronto, at Windermere Ave., east of Jane subway. Funeral Mass will be held Thursday, April 20 at 10: 30 a.m. at Our Lady of Sorrows Church, 3055 Bloor Street West. In lieu of flowers, donations in the name of Christopher Foley to the St. Vincent de Paul Society or ShareLife would be much appreciated.

Senator Barack Obama plans to use Hip Hop artists to educate the American public if he wins the Democratic candidacy and becomes President.
Obama, who lost to Hillary Clinton in yesterday's New Hampshire primary, says he has been a Hip Hop fan for years. Although neither Jay-Z nor Kanye West have come out to publicly support Obama's candidacy, Obama has already talked with the two regarding ways in which they can use their music in a positive way, and also how to branch out and fill the gap between older generations who dismiss Hip Hop as a negative, inferior art form.
"I've met with Jay-Z; I've met with Kanye. And I've talked to other artists about how potentially to bridge that gap. I think the potential for them to deliver a message of extraordinary power that gets people thinking (is massive)," Obama told Jeff Johnson during BET's political special What's In It For Us?.
Though he supports using Hip Hop as a catalyst for good, Obama is also aware of Hip Hop's negative side too, acknowledging that messages of crime and misogyny overshadow the many positive aspects of rap music.
"There are times, even on the artists I've named, the artists that I love, that there is a message that's sometimes degrading to women, uses the N-word a little too frequently. But also something that I'm really concerned about is (they're) always talking about material things about how I can get something; more money, more cars."
With the primaries in full swing, the voice of young Black America and the Hip Hop vote will continue to be a focal point in the media. So far, rappers including Common, Rhymefest and Talib Kweli have voiced their support for Obama.

Phase 1 of the Trials of Hypertension Prevention was a collaborative, randomized controlled clinical trial designed to determine the feasibility and efficacy of selected nonpharmacologic interventions in reducing or preventing an increase in diastolic blood pressure.
Participants aged 30 to 54 years who had a high-normal diastolic blood pressure (80 to 89 mm Hg), and were between 115% and 165% of their desirable body weight, were randomly assigned to either an 18-month weight loss intervention (n=308) or a usual-care control condition (N=256). Intervention consisted of 14 weekly group meetings followed by monthly maintenance sessions. Intervention participants received training in behavioral self-management technique and were asked to make life-style changes aimed at achieving a moderate reduction in energy intake and an increase in physical activity.
The average weight losses in the intervention group at 6, 12, and 18 months of follow-up were 6.5, 5.6, and 4.7 kg for men and 3.7, 2.7, and 1.6 kg for women. The mean (±SE) change in diastolic blood pressure for intervention participants compared with controls at termination was —2.8±0.6 mm Hg for men and —1.1 ±0.9 mm Hg for women. For systolic blood pressure, the corresponding change was —3.1±0.7 mm Hg for men and —2.0±1.3 mm Hg for women. Blood pressure reductions were greater for those who lost larger amounts of weight. Sex-related differences in blood pressure response were largely due to the smaller amount of weight lost by women, and sex differences in weight loss could be accounted for by differences in baseline body weight.
During an 18-month follow-up period, this weight reduction program was shown to be an effective nonpharmacologic intervention for reducing blood pressure in overweight adults with high-normal blood pressure.(Arch Intern Med. 1993;153:849-858)

Googles chairman wants a first-hand look at North Korea's economy and social media during his private visit Monday to the communist nation, his delegation said, despite misgivings in Washington over the timing of the trip.
Eric Schmidt, executive chairman of one of the world's biggest Internet companies, is the highest-profile US executive to visit North Korea a country with notoriously restrictive online policies since young leader Kim Jong Un took power a year ago. His visit has drawn criticism from the US State Department because it comes only weeks after a controversial North Korean rocket launch; it has also prompted speculation about what the businessman hopes to accomplish.
Schmidt arrived on a commercial Air China flight with former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, who has traveled more than a half-dozen times to North Korea over the past 20 years. Richardson, speaking ahead of the flight from Beijing, called the trip a private, humanitarian mission.
This is not a Google trip, but I'm sure hes interested in some of the economic issues there, the social media aspect. So this is why we are teamed up on this, Richardson said without elaborating on what he meant by the social media aspect.
We'll meet with North Korean political leaders. We'll meet with North Korean economic leaders, military. We'll visit some universities. We don't control the visit. They will let us know what the schedule is when we get there,'' he said.

Washington, Dec. 15 (ANI): US President Barack Obama reportedly broke down while giving a public statement, addressing the massacre that took place at the Sandy Hook Elementary school in Connecticut.
Web pundits and the twitterverse were moved by Obama's tearing up as he spoke on national television, saying, "Our hearts are broken today."
"You don't often see the president of the United States showing such emotion, wiping away tears as he speaks of these little kids - five- to ten-year-old kids - the majority of the victims that were killed in this mass shooting in Connecticut today," Politico quoted CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer, as saying.
"I've got to tell you, I've covered a lot of presidents, I haven't seen a president emerge as emotionally charged," he added.
According to the report, CNN's John King said that the president was so filled with emotion because the tragedy was "incomprehensible."
"This is incomprehensible and that's one of the reasons the president is so sad as he delivered that statement right there," King said.
On Fox News, Ed Henry said on air that the shootings from Obama's first term, including the one in Tucson, Ariz., in which then Rep. Gabby Gifford was survived being shot and six others were killed in January 2011, have taken an "emotional toll" on the president, the report said. (ANI)

Serve and Protect Who?
George Grier, of Uniondale, counted on Nassau County police's use of the Shot Spotter gunshot detection system in his neighborhood to save his life on Labor Day ["Cops: Uniondale Man Fired Warning Shots at Group on His Lawn," Sept. 6]. The First Precinct uses this technology to detect gun fire and promptly send officers to investigate.
Instead of Shot Spotter saving his life, police used it to arrest Grier for reckless endangerment. Grier fired four warning shots into his lawn to scare off a group of men who Grier alleges threatened to kill him and his family. He didn't shoot his legally registered rifle at anyone—only into the ground. No other arrests were made.
This raises two questions. First, who exactly does the police protect and serve? Second, how should we handle a similar situation?
Michael Jessen, Sayville
Hurricane Schmurricane
Regarding your recent cover story on hurricane preparedness ["In Harm's Way," Sept. 2]: Are the writers chomping at the bit, hoping for an overdue hurricane to strike and destroy most of Long Island?
Their imagination takes over from word one. "The Atlantic Ocean north to Sunrise Highway." Even during the '38 hurricane, in rare places the extension of the Atlantic did not cross Montauk Highway.
Talk about being carried away. Why not include in this nightmare that Fire Island houses—sand and all—pile up along the shore of the Great South Bay? Hey, I live in Bayport—could I possibly look forward to having oceanfront property?
I have an idea for a future doomsday article: An earthquake that swallows the Great South Bay. Imagine all that extra land and you could walk to Fire Island. Do I hear FI residents locking and loading?
And that took only one imagination.
John Moran, Bayport
The editor responds: John, although we may have dodged Hurricane Earl, the point of the article was to forewarn residents of the worst-case scenarios that Long Island emergency management officials are planning for and reiterate what they remind us annually: It's only a matter of time before we get hit again.

Electrolux Epilogue
A few weeks ago, a consulting firm wrote to the Chamber of Commerce in the Canadian locale where Electrolux currently has the plant that it's moving to Memphis. According to Canadian newspaper La Presse, the firm offered aid to subcontractors who want to follow Electrolux in its move to Memphis, where the company has decided to build a manufacturing plant that will bring more than 1,200 jobs.
However, some people are still holding out hope that Electrolux's decision to close the plant in Canada can be changed.
Jolyane Pronovost, spokesman for Economic Development Minister Clement Gignac, was quoted in La Presse as saying a lack of dialogue with Electrolux so far about the decision does not necessarily mean it's too late to keep the facility from moving.
Electrolux announced in December it's building a 700,000-square-foot, LEED-certified plant in Memphis.

In our culture youth is coveted like never before -- 50 is the new 30, they say. I often get mistaken for being a lot younger than I actually am. People sometimes even think I'm only 18, which is a great compliment, but they're wrong! I want to talk about how I've accomplished this "agelessness."
Like a lot of people, I've had a lot of really shitty stuff happen to me throughout my life, and there was a point where I promised myself that I would try to make the best of my life and stay young forever.
It wasn't just about looks, though a good moisturizer does help. It was about attitude. Regardless of what happened to me, there are a few things I've consistently done to keep myself forever young.
- Never Bring Anyone Down. People are shocked when they find out about my past because they cannot fathom how I am such a positive person after what happened to me. There are many reasons why I am so positive. When I went through the difficult times I was in so much pain that I never wanted to make anyone else feel as bad as I did, so no matter what I was always positive and supportive of those around me. I don't believe in bringing people down just because you're in a bad mood.
- Give Yourself the Freedom to Do Whatever You Want. When things really weren't going my way, I had to do whatever it took to make myself somewhat happy. So I did whatever I wanted: shopping, trips, working out, eating chocolate, whatever I wanted that was within my means at the time. And I remember there was a time where I only had $300 in cash to my name and no job prospects. I was around 20 at the time and had just broken up with this guy. One night, for the heck of it, I took off and drove to Woods Hole, Massachusetts and took the ferry to Martha's Vineyard, where I stayed for the day. When I got home I only had about $200 left, but I didn't care, there was always more money to be made.
- Go with the Flow. Learning to go with the flow instead of stressing about everything is a lesson I'm still learning, but I do understand the value of going with the flow. Life is more exciting when you don't know what's going to happen next. This, of course, is not always a good thing, but it does take some of the responsibility of things off of your shoulders.
- Love Everyone Unconditionally. I try not to judge anyone. I don't like the way it feels when my mind starts compartmentalizing and putting people into specific categories, so I just try my best to ignore it and take the person for who they are. Unless the person is dishonest or dangerous this is a perfectly acceptable idea. Besides, placing judgement brings up some very negative emotions, and negative emotions aren't good for anyone.
- Always Share. Life is so much more fun when you have people to share it with. So never be afraid to share your time, your food, your laughter or your heart.
- Always Be Genuine and Say Thank-You. I swear to God, if I wasn't nice I wouldn't have gotten anywhere. You hear about all these people who got to the top by being cutthroat, but I just don't see it. I'm sure it happens, but how much fun could it be when you get to the top if everybody underneath despises you?
- Have Gratitude, Especially During Difficult Times. During difficult times having gratitude is a hard thing to accomplish. When you are down about something counting your blessings can actually raise your spirit, no matter how few blessings you may perceive yourself to have -- or not have -- at the time. One universal law explains that good things come to the people who are thankful for them. Think about it: Would you rather give a gift to someone who isn't excited to receive one or to someone who is thrilled to get a gift from you?
- Live in the Moment. Many people never truly live. These are the folks who are too busy saving all their money for retirement. This is a good idea to an extent, but how many people do you know who never spent a penny on themselves because they were saving it for later, and then they died? Or how about the people who put off doing things until "later?" I will travel when I retire. I will take up acting lessons after I pay off my car. Don't die without living out your dreams.
- Try Everything. My aunt always says that I was probably severely handicapped in my last life. Why does she say this?? Because my life's "to do list" is about seven miles long. I learned not to limit myself from doing things because I didn't think I'd like them. If I never stepped outside of these boundaries I would've never tried sushi, gone snorkeling or auditioned for a TV station in front of hundreds of people. All of these experiences expanded my mind. Though I don't eat sushi anymore, I did love it for a while. I was terrified of snorkeling before I tried it, and now I want to go scuba diving! As for the TV audition, I think that was one of my biggest, most life changing moments. Though I failed miserably, the power I felt after actually trying out gave me more confidence -- if I could do that, then I could do anything.
- Don't Take Anything Too Seriously, Including Yourself. Again, another one I'm still learning but only because I think too much and am constantly lost in my own thoughts. Because of this I come off as serious or even angry at times, of which I am neither. It's important to be able to laugh at yourself -- especially at your failures. If you can't make fun of yourself by laughing at your most miserable and humiliating moments then you are going to be a grumpy person.
Remember: Youth is a mindset. If you want to be 19 forever you can certainly make it happen, or at least come close! If you have anything to add to the list please leave your suggestions in the comment section below.
