Our natural understanding of matter is very self-centered. When ascribing properties to substances, we are quite subjective in our conclusions. We say rubber is elastic because it exhibits elasticity under the conditions we typically see. We think of ice as a solid because we are far more used to encountering it inside our freezers than on a flowing glacier. Furthermore, our perception of time biases us from seeing the motion of a glacier in the same light as the flowing of, say, honey.
It is natural for science to attempt to codify and explain these natural categorizations. Schoolchildren are treated to a relentless drumming of the basic "definition" of a solid as something that has a definite shape and does not flow. Similarly, students are told that liquids flow and have no definite shape but do have a definite volume while gases have neither definite shape nor volume.
Are Solids so Simple? Some Elementary Objections
On their own, these efforts at codifying the states of matter are reasonably accurate if you are speaking of practical experience, but science aspires to more precision and objectivity than this. Science attempts to describe how the world works in a non-self-absorbed way, and in this sense even these heuristics are rather lacking. In particular, solids do not have a definite shape. A piece of paper is a solid material, but you can fold it and it gets a new shape. In fact, I don't even have to bend it; allow a sheet of paper to drape over the edge of the desk and it will have a different shape than it did when it was lying flat. As to whether solids "flow" or not, that depends on how you define the term. What makes the deformation of a stretched bungee cord any different than the deformation of honey poured from a bottle?
To address these examples, a science teacher who wants to toe the party line has to act much like the spokesman for a politician with a penchant for impolitic remarks. Each separate example gets its own excuse and explanation, but those explanations do not have a consistent message:
Reporter 1: Why did Mr. Textbook say that a solid has a definite shape when you can bend a piece of paper?
Spokesman: Mr. Textbook wasn't referring to all types of forces acting on a solid; just gravity.
Reporter 2: What about the bungee cord?
Spokesman: What Mr. Textbook meant was that a solid doesn't change shape based on its own weight.
Reporter 3: What about the paper draped over the edge?
Spokesman: Mr. Textbook wasn't talking about temporary changes. He just meant that a solid will go back to its shape once the force is removed.
And at this point Reporter 1 and Reporter 3 stare at each other in disbelief.
A More Accurate Mantra, and More Significant Issues
The objections raised in the previous section are, in some sense, elementary. They are mostly semantic in nature, but I believe they are still relevant. If we are going to have students accept a mantra ("A solid is …") and repeat it over and over every grade, we should at least get the mantra right or be clear what we mean.
A more accurate way of conveying what textbooks mean would be to say something like "Solids don't drip." It avoids the red herring of "definite shape" and focuses on the notion of "flow" while combining with it the idea of non-elasticity. A bungee cord is critically different from honey in that a bungee cord, once it snaps, will return to its original shape. A drop of honey, after it falls, will remain a drop, not returning to whatever shape the honey had before it was poured. We say that liquids are viscous while solids are elastic because of this difference.
Using the clause "solids don't drip" to differentiate between liquids and solids gets around the elementary problems with the textbook definitions of solid, liquid, and gas, but it cannot cope with a more severe problem. In essence, science education has painted itself into a corner by trying so hard to link states of matter with temperature.
Readers of Science Myths Unmasked Volume 2 will know that most of what is learned in school about temperature and phase change is wrong. Solids do not change to liquids at the "melting point." Liquids do not boil at the "boiling point," and temperature does not determine phase. The story told in textbooks is a fairy tale designed to help students remember certain facts at the expense of understanding what is going on.
When it comes to teaching about states of matter, the interest in pinning so much on temperature actually distorts the entire picture given to students from the beginning. The textbook presentation is committed to a story where there are clear breaks between phases, occurring at set temperatures, and this puts kids on the wrong path from the beginning. The textbook regime only works for crystal solids, like iron, ice, and diamond. It doesn't work for amorphous materials like wood, glass, and rubber. Since the textbook narrative only works for crystal solids, those are the examples students are shown. When discussing phases and phase changes, students are regularly provided illustrations of solids as comprising small molecules packed into well-defined lattices. The explanations of melting and other physical properties associated with solids tend to reinforce this incomplete picture.
A more accurate depiction of states of matter would make a clear distinction between crystal solids and amorphous materials that are designated as glasses by scientists. These are objects that seem solid but do not have a regular crystal structure. (Not all amorphous solids are glasses, but the exceptions are mostly materials that do not undergo typical phase changes. A simple example is wood. We don't speak of wood "melting" because it undergoes chemical reactions well before the physical reaction of deliquescence. )
There are two reasons why the above picture would upend textbook orthodoxy, and both have to do with the outsize role given to temperature. First, this diagram suggests (quite rightly) that temperature does not determine phase. A substance can start out as a solid, be heated into a liquid, and then (upon cooling) become a glass, moving from the region marked "Solid" in the diagram, around the vertical, solid line, to wind up (at the same temperature) in the "Glass" region. If you take liquid water and cool it in one way, you get solid ice, like the cubes in your freezer. If you take that same liquid water and cool it in a different way, you get a different substance called glassy water. The transitions that substances make depend on more than temperature. (Note that there are several other reasons why temperature doesn't determine phase. Those are not captured by this diagram but are discussed in Science Myths Unmasked Volume 2.)
The second reason this diagram would be heretical in standard science education is that textbooks want to hammer into students' skulls the idea that changes in state occur at particular temperatures. In the above illustration, we see that the glass state transitions to the liquid state gradually. In fact, the "glass" state is not even considered a separate phase from the liquid in the normal sense of the word "phase." (There are properties liquids have that objects in glass form do not have, but they are very different from the properties used to differentiate (crystal) solids from liquids.)
In many ways, "glasses" are better seen scientifically as very slow-flowing liquids than as solids, but we humans (being very self-absorbed in our labeling) tend to think of them more as solids than liquids because they react like solids in most day-to-day encounters.
An excellent demonstration showing how amorphous solids are like liquids is the "Pitch Drop Experiment," which you can read about and see live here . This demonstration shows the fluid properties of pitch, a rubbery substance used to waterproof boats. It takes about 9 years for a drop to form. In our day-to-day experience, pitch acts like a solid, but on a longer timescale, it acts like a liquid.
Notably, this notion that glasses can be seen as simply "slow-flowing" liquids has more depth to it than you might think. A key notion separating liquids from solids is that solids often return to their original shape after being deformed while liquids do not. However, the response of a material to a deformation heavily depends on how rapidly the deformation occurs. A material can act like a solid at 20 degrees C when it is deformed at a certain rate but act like a liquid at the same temperature when deformed at a different rate.
This principle, called Time-Temperature Superposition, has real application in materials science. A scientist can measure the elastic properties at one temperature at a particular rate of deformation and predict how the same material will act at a different temperature at a different rate of deformation.
Of course, I cannot help but point out that this gives yet another example of how temperature does not, by itself, determine changes in the properties of matter.
(Note: A careful reader might wonder about the flowing of ice in glaciers given that ice is a crystal substance. The dynamics causing ice to flow in a glacier are fundamentally different from the flow seen in the pitch-drop experiment. It is not clear whether a small sample of ice would ever flow in this way if it were kept in conditions preventing liquefaction. Still, the example is good to bear in mind when considering the absolute statements made in textbooks, and we could make a claim that describing a liquid as something that "flows" is itself a fundamental error.)

Openness and accountability are important to maintain the public's trust in the Department of Veterans Affairs, Secretary Eric Shinseki told a congressional committee Thursday.
But then he refused to answer reporters' questions about whether top administrators were disciplined for preventable patient deaths at veterans' hospitals.
"Transparency is an important aspect of our being able to establish and retain trust in this department," Shinseki told the House Committee on Veterans Affairs during a hearing about the agency's $163.9 billion budget proposal for the 2015 fiscal year. "It's a high item on my list of things that we commit to."
Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan., confronted Shinseki about roughly 70 recent instances he'd found in which Veterans Affairs officials refused to respond to media questions on topics including disability claims backlogs, patient deaths and the mass purging of scheduled medical tests and procedures.
Huelskamp also pressed Shinseki about whether people in charge of veteran's medical facilities where preventable deaths occurred had been disciplined. Shinseki responded "we do hold employees accountable."
Six members of the Senior Executive Service, the top tier of agency management, have been "dismissed" over the past two years, Shinseki said without providing any details.
Last year, about 3,000 employees were forced out of their jobs agency-wide because of performance issues, he said.
When the Washington Examiner tried to question Shinseki for specifics after the hearing, he refused to answer and dashed off to a waiting elevator, surrounded by a cadre of his staff.
VA has been under fire for a series of recent deaths due to delayed or improper care at medical centers in Georgia, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Tennessee.
At least 22 preventable deaths have been acknowledged by VA officials or identified by the agency's inspector general in recent investigations.
That includes the disclosure last month that a sixth death was probably linked to Legionnaire's disease at a veteran's hospital in Pittsburgh.
Internal VA documents indicate there were at least 10 additional deaths nationwide due to delayed endoscopic procedures, which have not been explained by the agency.
Shinseki did not address individual cases or specify facilities where discipline resulted.
At a Feb. 26 subcommittee hearing, Robert Petzel, under secretary for health, said three senior-level employees resigned rather than be disciplined in Columbia, S.C., where six patients died due to delayed care.
Petzel added "a number of people" retired or resigned in Augusta, Ga., where delayed care has been linked to three patient deaths.
However, the Augusta Chronicle reported this week that the former chief of staff at the Augusta hospital resigned that position, yet remains on the hospital's payroll in a different job.
Disciplinary investigations in Pittsburgh were delayed because the inspector general was conducting a criminal investigation, which did not result in charges, Petzel said during the February hearing. They are still under review and should be completed shortly, he said.
On the transparency issue, Huelskamp said he is concerned about VA's unwillingness to answer questions about its problems and urged Shinseki to be more open with the media, members of Congress and the public.
Shinseki said he would check into it.
The VA's public affairs office, which handles media calls, has 54 full-time employees, according to the current year's budget.
The budget proposal for 2015 includes $95.6 billion in mandatory spending for disability and other benefits, and $68.4 billion in discretionary funds that pay for health care and other services.
Medical funding for 2016 would also be funded in advance, which protects it from being suspended during government shutdowns such as the one that occurred in October 2013.

It's that time of year again. Bike show season kicked off on Wednesday with the opening of Eurobike 2015 in Friedrichshafen, Germany. One of the big stories from the show this year seems to wireless electronic shifting. SRAM's new RED eTap system is getting a lot of positive press, and FSA is showing a prototype wireless group at the show as well. Wireless shifting has the potential to have a big impact on the design of racing/sport oriented bikes, but I'll save that discussion for another post.
Today, I want to share three interesting bikes that caught my attention as I have been browsing online galleries and following the #eurobike hashtag on Twitter the last few days. First is the Tern Cargo node. The folding bike company teamed up with Xtraccyle to create a longtail version of the Node that will retail for about $1800. Tern calls it, "a game changer if you live in a city or just want more portability from your cargo bike." They designed the bike to fit in an elevator, so you can easily take it up to a high-rise apartment or office. The option to fold is also a plus for transit riders, as it can be done with a load of cargo on the rear rack.
German company Altinsoy Manufaktur is showing the Bees Bike, a very unique modular mountain bike with a belt drive and internal gearbox. According to a recent GizMag post:
"The bike adjusts around the rider through an integrated system of bolts and mounts. In this way, the bike can adjust to better fit your body and riding style. Of most interest is the stabilizer bar that can be swapped in for the DT Swiss rear shock, creating a fully metal hardtail in place of a springy pivoting rear triangle."
I am not sure about that feature (why not just lock out the rear shock?), but I do think the frame is interesting and I like the way the gearbox is integrated. If this is a first bike design from Altinsoy, I am looking forward to seeing its evolution.
The final bike I want to mention isn't really a bike at all. The ICE Full Fat 26FS is a recumbent fat trike that evolved from the custom trike ICE built for a ride across Antarctica to the South Pole in December 2013. The full suspension trike is built for expeditions with oversized 26 inch rims and 4.7" (front), 4.8" (rear) tires. It features a Rohloff XL 14-speed hub based drivetrain, and a 4130 chromoly frame that can be folded for easier transport to the trailhead. This is definitely not a mainstream machine, but based on the number of photos on Twitter and Instagram, it does seem to be a crowd favorite at the show.

Glad to see that the Cargo Node caught your attention at Eurobike. We just launched a Kickstarter campaign to help it get off the ground. Check it out: bit.ly/tern-cargo-node

A fat trike? I've never heard of that before! It's looks awesome! Is this trike actually for sale or is it just a concept? I'd definitely buy a couple if they decided to produce these, absolutely amazing!

Crew Chief Change At The No. 42
SceneDaily is reporting that Brian Pattie is replacing Jimmt Elledge as crew chief for diver Juan Pablo Montoya and the No. 42 Dodge from Chip Ganassi Racing.
Elledge had been with Montoya for only three races, following a swap in which he moved to the No. 42, while Donnie Wingo moved to the No. 41 and Reed Sorenson.
The Sporting News added that there was no reason given for the release. In three races with Montoya finished second at Talladega, but then finished 32nd and 23rd, respectively, at Richmond and Darlington.
The Charlotte Observer and ESPN also covered the story.

Rough season for Elledge, eh?
Well, he could always end up working at JR Motorsports, after all he is Dale Jr.'s brother-in-law.

Two University of Virginia doctors, Jennifer Charlton and Peter M. Kasson, have each received Hartwell Awards for their research to improve health care for children.
This is the second year in a row that U.Va.'s School of Medicine has received two awards from the Hartwell Foundation, a Memphis-based philanthropic group that funds cutting-edge pediatric biomedical research.
Dr. Charlton, a pediatric nephrologist in U.Va.'s Department of Pediatrics, received a Hartwell award for her work to identify children at risk for chronic kidney disease. Children born prematurely and children with conditions such as cancer, diabetes, heart and sickle-cell disease are especially vulnerable to kidney disease. Presently there is no test to determine significant risk for early chronic kidney disease, and the condition goes unrecognized and untreated until significant, permanent kidney damage has occurred. Charlton is developing a method to use magnetic-resonance imaging to count nephrons, the individual units that filter blood in the kidneys. Low nephron counts are thought to determine a child's risk for chronic kidney disease; early detection would identify children at risk and pave the way for new treatments. "The ultimate success of this project – counting nephrons in children – will revolutionize and individualize how we identify and treat children with or at risk for chronic kidney disease, leading to an improved quality of life for these children for years to come," Charlton said.
Dr. Kasson, who holds joint appointments in the Department of Molecular Physiology and Biological Physics and the Department of Biomedical Engineering, was selected for his work to improve the treatment of infections in children with cancer. Because chemotherapy and bone-marrow transplantation suppress the immune system, children with cancer often develop life-threatening infections. As a Google Scholar with access to Google's extensive computing infrastructure, Kasson is developing new computational approaches to overcome the problem of antibiotic resistance. He also is developing a method to identify the best antibiotic in real time in clinical settings. He will use genetic modeling and an online database of test results to recognize drug resistance in bacteria quickly, with the goal of producing a diagnostic test that will help doctors save immune-compromised children from these deadly infections. "We are in a race against time," Kasson said. "Infections move quickly in these children, and we are seeing more infections where we are running out of antibiotics that work. With this project, we are trying to outrun the bacteria on both those fronts."
Charlton and Kasson each will receive $100,000 in financial support annually for three years.
According to Thomas C. Skalak, U.Va. vice president for research, the Hartwell Foundation relationship is transforming the University by directing expertise from many science and engineering departments to children's health solutions.
"Our Hartwell relationship is accelerating and expanding our institutional capacity for improving children's health," he said. "This year's awards enable a pediatric clinician to undertake innovative scientific research and a basic scientist to apply his computationally intensive basic work to an important class of clinical problems. Our 2012 awards enabled a biomedical engineer to partner with a pediatric surgeon and a bioscientist to explore novel solutions to childhood obesity. These awards, coupled with the opportunity for collaboration within the Hartwell Top Ten network, make for a relationship that catalyzes radical innovation."
As one of the Hartwell Foundation's Top 10 Centers of Biomedical Research, U.Va. researchers each year nominate four proposals for consideration. The projects must be in their early stages, have no outside funding and demonstrate a clear path to clinical application. In short, they must represent promising ideas that could soon improve the lives of children.
Since 2008, the foundation has provided U.Va. with $3 million in support for pediatric biomedical research. It will hold its sixth annual biomedical research meeting in Charlottesville on Oct. 6-9.

Five Eupora High School competitors had strong performances in the MHSAA Class 2A State Powerlifting Meet at the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson on Saturday.
Tamoris Draine and Jarques McBride each finished second in their respective weight classes, while three other competitors finished sixth or better.
"I think they did really well," EHS powerlifting coach Chad White of his five competitors. "They worked hard and were very prepared."
Draine posted a squat of 550 pounds, a bench press of 300 pounds, and a dead lift of 540 pounds for a total weight of 1,390 pounds to finish second in the 198-pound weight class by just five pounds. McBride took second in the 275-pound class with a total of 1,275 pounds. He lifted 510 in the squat, 305 in the bench and 460 in the dead lift. Both Draine and McBride are seniors.
Kris Kent took fourth in the 308-pound division with a 440-pound squat, a 290-pound bench and a 405-pound dead lift for a total of 1,135. Eighth grader Phillip Weeks totaled 835 pounds to take fifth in the 165-pound class. He had a squat of 200, a bench of 210 and a dead lift of 325.
Sophomore Victor Goldman was sixth in the 181-pound class as he squatted 415, benched 250 and dead lifted 465 for a total of 1,130 pounds.

We will answer all your questions and guide you to the most interesting and beautiful parts of the Big Island.
Communication with Stan was excellent and he called me even before we arrived and sent us precise instructions. House was exactly as described. Kitchen utensils were sufficient for us even to cook. Very friendly neighbors. One night we ran into a small plumbing emergency and local property manager Tom immediately responded and arranged a plumber first thing next morning. A short distance to beach. Overall we were very satisfied with the stay.
Great view of the ocean and palm trees. Great location. Easy access to downtown via shuttle. Easy walk to the shopping center. Many nice birds. The manager keeps the place clean.
All in all, very good.
Very nice location. Immediately as you walk in you have a beautiful ocean view! Condo is clean and has most everything you need for your stay. Nice cross breezes. Complex is shady and full of flowers and birds. Stan is great to work with; always very prompt to reply. I like the location as it's just 6 miles south of Kona so you are away from the tourist traffic in town yet close enough to drive to town. Shopping very close and one of the best snorkel beaches is 1 and a half mi,es down the road.
Stan's place was perfect for our family. The children enjoyed the pool and we enjoyed the big lanai with BBQ, the place was perfect to explore the island. Also Stan was very helpful and always answered quickly.
We arrived at the condo late at night. In the morning my wife and I awoke to the shouts of my 10 year old daughter screaming "OMG, look at the view outside". My family of 4 loved this condo as we stayed here 8 nights. It is fully furnished and allowed us to cook a few dinner meals. It was spacious and offered a lot of practical and usable amenities. Small items such as a cooler, snorkel gear, and boogie boards were the real difference maker for us as it allowed us to enjoy our trip without worrying about too much. Stan offered great customer service by promptly replying to all my questions. The property is located in a quiet location a few minutes from a snorkeling area and another small sandy beach and only 10 minutes away from the main town. I would strongly recommend this unit to any family looking to stay in Kona.
Perfect place for a couple or a family with kids on vacation in the beautiful Hawaii´s big island. Located in a very elegant neighborhood, beautiful gardens, and surrounded by a golf club, near the coast and a nice mall, this cozy condo has everything you need to relax. It has a confortable bedroon for a couple with private bathroon, and an extra (nice) bathroon and a living roon with a sofa bed that can accomodate very well another two persons. It has an american type of kitchen (fully equiped) with a balcony separating from the dining room. It also has an spacious deck with a round table, confortable chairs and beautiful view of the golf course and sea. We loved to stayed there by the sunset where we took spetacular pictures. In the deck, there is also a gas-powered barbercue place that was very clean and worked perfectly. You also have washing and drier machine inside the condo, which is very convenient (no need to bring many clothes). In addition, the owner (Stan) has a box on the deck with beach and snorkel gear, which renters can use. So, the condo is very well equiped for staying several days or weeks, and conveniently located close to a mall with grocery store, drugstore, restaurant and gas station, and about 25-30 min driving (south) from Kona International Airport. It is definitely a very good cost-benefit for what it offers. Finally, the owner Stan was very friendly and helpful, answering promptly our questions and providing several suggestions of tours in the island. If I ever return to Hawaii, I will probably rent this place again.
We love the Big Island and we share the Aloha Spirit with those who want to experience the beauty of Hawaii. We're from Colorado and regularly stay here in Keauhou. We'll quickly respond to inquiries and invite you to contact us directly with your questions. I promise, you will thoroughly enjoy this location. Relax and enjoy all the great amenities. You will have a treasured experience when you stay at our, "Lani Moku Hale". It's a fantastic location and truly paradise here in Keauhou.

My wife and I encourage you to enjoy the healthy and active lifestyle so abundant here on the Big Island, or, just come here and relax. We felt a connection from the moment we arrived and want to share this with those who stay at our home, here in paradise.
Stan and Trinh purchased this condo in 2015
Located in the Keauhou Akahi complex, at mile marker 61/2, on Alii drive, south of Kailua-Kona and a short walk to Keauhou Bay. This condo has orientation, elevation and location, many frequent visitors and guests have told us its the best location in the entire complex. Safely located on the second level with very few steps! The elevation allows for the Mauka and Makai winds to cool the property. Parking is close, convenient and well shaded. We have been remodeling and renovating our home at the Akahi with many upgrades including ceiling fans above each sleeping area making the place very comfortable and cool, allowing for restful sleep. Watch for whales during the winter months from our beautiful lanai while enjoying cocktails or meals.
A short 15-20 minute walk will put you on the viewing deck of the Keauhou Sheraton Resort, famed for its Manta Ray viewing. They also have a great Farmers Market and Luau weekly.
Walk down the hill to the Keauhou Bay small boat harbor; its the departure point for the smaller vessels chartered for Dolphin Watch, Deep Sea fishing, Scuba Diving, Sea Quest tours, Fairwinds II and other chartered boating adventures.
This quaint harbor is home to the famed Kona Kayak and Canoe Club where avid Kayak adventurists meet every morning. Within a 20 minute walk you could be standing at the Keauhou Place of Refuge, or the Hawaiian Sacred Grounds.
Within a few miles, or short bicycle ride, you're at Kahaluu Beach Park, considered one of the best and safest snorkel beaches in the entire Hawaiian Island Chain. Also known as "Turtle Beach", and just beyond the coral reef this public beach extends to areas famous for boogie boarding, surfing and stand-up paddle boarding.
Our property is located in one of the most desirable area's of Kailua-Kona. All within short distances to restaurants, shops, historic landmarks, scenic overlooks, golf, world class scuba, healthcare and urgent care facilities, grocery stores and a cine-plex movie theater but away from the more populated tourist areas. Our condominium complex is in a smaller, more intimate and quieter setting with 48 units and 78+ parking spots. The property management is on-site and takes immaculate care of the grounds and pool area. Most guests are frequent visitors and are like family. You will be welcomed with "Akahai" and warm Aloha spirit.
Stunning beaches, pristine coastal views, lush tropical forests, culture and entertainment, world class golf courses, deep sea fishing charters, activities and local events every week, this destination is one of the best kept secrets for all types of get-aways.
The Big Island is different from other Hawaiian Islands.
All of the Islands are beautiful but the Big Island is.... BIG and beautiful! You won't feel like your on an island. On the other islands, many travelers feel trapped, with limited space, heavy traffic, and stuck on an island in the middle of the ocean. Other island destinations have limited land, are being over developed and travelers are paying a premium.
Life is much different on the Big Island of Hawaii. Much more relaxed, less cars, less crowds, more natural areas and economic diversity. On the Big Island, we feel a sense of grandeur and you can experience the vast untouched, natural beauty of Hawaii, without the crowds.
In Keauhou, It's easy to get away from the crowds, discover a secluded beach and go hiking the hundreds of miles of trails. Its a great place to get out and explore and find a favorite little bistro or a coffee house in "coffee country".
The locals on the Big Island embrace the Aloha Spirit and welcome visitors as family. This area is rich with tradition and culture, without the tourist traps.
The ecology and environments of the Big Island is the most diverse on the planet, boasting a total of five different bio-zones. Beaches with untouched coral reefs, tropical rain forests, lava fields frozen in time, jungles, caves, white and black sand beaches, snow capped mountains, pine forests, vast untouched grasslands, wildlife and secluded valleys, oceans abundant with life wherever you look... too much to see in just one visit.
Hint: Buy a copy of, "Hawaii, The Big Island-Revealed-The Ultimate Guide", by Andrew Doughty. Or when you get to our condo, browse the copy on the bookshelf.
Kailua-Kona is the perfect get-away for a romantic escape, a family vacation, the adventure seekers paradise, or for "Snow-birds", .. it's all here and its comfortable, relaxing, clean and well kept.
Our place is the "Lani Moku Hale", translated: (Heavenly Island House) just above Keauhou Bay. Its the perfect year round destination for quality time spent in paradise. If you love the ocean and enjoy snorkeling as much as we do, you'll be able to swim with dolphins, sea turtles or night dive with giant manta rays.
Don't forget to spend time at one of the many Farmer's Markets to experience the fresh tropical fruits, local gourmet baked goods, artisans and local culture. Of course, just about anywhere you go for seafood is awesome. The cultural diversity of the Islands brings together a blend of Polynesian, Asian, Tahitian, Portuguese, Spanish and other Western influences.
Come and visit our place in paradise; relax and enjoy! You'll be glad you did.

Here's a cool spot, directed by Zane Rutledge, that I produced with Gray Haddock. Our film group MadHatterCollective is doing some fun, edgy stuff. The stars are Kelly Grace and Zach Thompson. You can find more about our corporate and commercial Austin Video production at ExpressionsInVideo.com or Zane.TV.
National Commercial "Let it Snow"
Re-posted from Zane TV: ZaneTV recently developed some exciting new television creative for Fired Up, Inc. and their Carino's Italian Restaurants. We'll be shooting and rolling out a very fun — and unique — TV campaign over the next six months (as well as helping with Carino's viral/social experience), but we got the snowball rolling with this clever holiday idea …
Geek Love
Just produced "Geek Love" with Zane Rutledge and Gray Haddock for MadHatterCollective. The shoot was fun. The cast was awesome. The spot goes live this week.
Red Camera Wrap Up
Just wrapped a commercial spot shot on the Red. We opted for the Red Camera because the spot required a variety of slow motion shots (all at different speeds) to be married together in post. All in all, very happy with the results.
Glamour Spot
I recently co-produced a high-scale glamour spot for MadHatterCollective. The spot, directed by Zane Rutledge, featured Kelly Grace, Zach Thompson and a digitally enhanced shooting star. Kudos to a great cast and to Leslie Touchet from Cobalt Blue who did a terrific job on hair and makeup. The shoot went smoothly, despite the city of Austin blowing a power grid …

5 of the best deals of the summer transfer window
Ahead of the transfer deadline on Wednesday, here Press Association Sport looks at five of the best deals concluded during the summer transfer window so far.
PAUL POGBA (Juventus to Manchester United, £89million)
United received just £800,000 in compensation when they lost Pogba to Juventus four years ago, yet so good did the player become after leaving Old Trafford that they paid more than 100 times that to get him back this summer. The transfer negotiations dragged on, but United will deem the time and world-record fee well worth it if the 23-year-old continues to deliver the world-class performances he did in Turin.
ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC (Paris St Germain to Manchester United, free)
Another shrewd bit of business by United. At 34 Ibrahimovic is hardly the future, but such is the Swede's stature and continued productivity that, after three years of stagnation, United are sure to get a shot in the arm from his arrival. Hit the ground running with four goals in his first three games.
LEROY SANE (Schalke to Manchester City, £37.5million)
The 20-year-old has much to do to justify the price tag and injury has prevented him making a good start, but he is one of the most highly-rated young players in Germany and has four international caps. A rough diamond, but City are confident they have found something special.
CHRISTIAN BENTEKE (Liverpool to Crystal Palace, £32million)
Benteke's move to Anfield never worked out, but the powerful Belgian striker always seemed an awkward fit for the Merseyside club. His quality is not in doubt, however, having proved himself a serious Premier League performer in a struggling Aston Villa side. Palace need to get the best out of him and may be more prepared to play to his strengths.
N'GOLO KANTE (Leicester to Chelsea, £32million)
The hard-working midfielder at the heart of Leicester's surprise title triumph already looks at home in the Chelsea side. The Frenchman provides a good shield for the back four and a good link to the attacking players. A high-energy player who could revitalise the Londoners.

I read Dean Karnazes' new book the other week, "50 50 Secrets I Learned Running 50 Marathons in 50 Days".
I've already flogged it on ebay so you can be sure that I am not going to recommend this as a good running read. It's full of trite running tips that you all know already, stuff along the lines of never do anything new on race day.
It's sold as a "fascinating story" and how can it not be? The guy is pretty much a wonder, he ran back to back marathons and covered off most of the US in less than 2 months. He should be shot for producing such a dull account. Out of the almost 50 race reports not a single one could hold a candle to the daily reports coming from the blogs over there on my sidebar ——>
He kept going on about the "feminisation" of the marathon world which made me picture hoards of men with man boobs jiggling around the course, and then sang the praises of the AMAZING women (who were also mothers) that managed to find the time to run a marathon.
I don't want to be too mean about the book, there were two positive things that I took away with me, the first was not to be such a baby when I get a cold – you can run with a snotty nose and the other was the concept of Runabout.
Runabout is Dean's take on the Aboriginal Walkabout. It's the kind of free running that he is famous for and does so well (see Ultramarathon Man which actually is a fascinating read). He'll open his door, take the decision to head E, N, S or W and then just keep running until he can go no further, at which point he catches the train home. When he goes on runabout he may run for days before deciding he can go no further but he recommends that a similar toned down tactic might work for those in training for marathons.
So the plan is to head out running in any direction and then keep going until you need to walk, then run again and keep the cycle going til the day has gone and its time to head home. The trick is not necessarily to run the whole time but to just stay on your feet and keep moving, so if you stop to pickup drinks and food, you must eat on the go.
I'm off on Runabout today, heading in a north westerly direction. I'm hoping to pick up the Capital Ring a 75m loop of London – lets see how much I can cover before collapsing.

Tori Harris said she likes the high ceilings and communal spaces in the newly renovated wing of the Englewood High and Middle School campus.
"It's easier to learn if you don't feel condensed in one room. They don't feel like classes, they feel like a place you can have fun learning," said Harris, 15, and a sophomore at Englewood High School.
She and other high school students last week moved into what will be the shared spaces and classrooms of the district's middle and high schools. That part of the campus was demolished and rebuilt after voters approved a $45 million bond measure to provide new facilities for the district's schools in 2012.
Donovan Nolan, project manager, said the original Englewood High School was built in the 1950s and was just falling apart. The district has had to shut down the school because of a water leak or electricity problems. He also said the project includes the demolishing of Englewood Middle School, where facilities for the Colorado's Finest Alternative High School will be built.
The newly constructed wing, at 140,000 square feet, is phase one of the project, which cost $25 million. While most of the wing will be used exclusively by the middle school, the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math lab, science labs and common spaces will be shared by middle and high school students.
The common spaces are designed to encourage collaboration, a 21st century skill the district is trying to encourage, said Julie McGinley, communications coordinator for the district. The walls of the common spaces are fitted with tack boards, whiteboards and even interactive displays.
Harris said she uses the spaces for Philosophical Chairs, in which students debate a topic.
"I think there's more opportunity to study and it's more open so you can actually focus without having to worry about a weird smell in the building or something falling apart," Harris said.
Also, the classrooms are for flexible use, which means teachers don't have a home room and trade spaces. Their desks are also situated with others in their subject matter to encourage collaboration.
Also new in the wing is the STEM lab, which allows students to do projects in the visual arts, music recording, graphic design and architecture, among others. The fabrication lab, which will be in the space temporarily housing the library, will allow students to create the projects they have designed on the computer.
"The way the future job market is shaping up, STEM careers are going to be a huge need," said Bill Gilmore, STEM coordinator for the middle and high schools. "They are going to need the students of today to be their future employees so we're trying to building a program that can be a feeder program for the Colorado industry."
The fabrication will also feature a university-grade, three-dimensional printer, which McGinley said makes the Englewood district the first to have one in the state.
Also new in the building is a separate industry-level kitchen for the district's new ProStart program for high school students to get experience in the culinary arts and hospitality industries.
McGinley said the district first looked at simply renovating the spaces they had and discovered it was more cost-effective to demolish existing structures and rebuild.
The north field house, where the schools' basketball and volleyball teams play, was rebuilt.
The south field house, which hosts several more courts, will also be rebuilt in phase two. Also part of phase two, which entails about 99,000 square feet, is high school flexible classrooms, a health room and health clinic, college-type classroom, college preparatory room, theatre and outdoor classroom for the public to rent.

Canopy selector
WL (lbs/sf)
Size (sf)
Maximum Exit Weight (Lbs)
Minimum Exit Weight (Lbs)
Note: This canopy selector program is intended as a guide. It is designed to be used to assist you in finding an appropriate model and size of Aerodyne canopy for your exit weight, experience level and expectations. Please remember that in no way can this selector replace professional, expert advice that is based upon first hand knowledge of your current experience, skill level and frame of reference.
Only training, experience, currency and a healthy body and mind can protect you from danger, bodily injury or worse. Regardless of your time in the sport, never hesitate to consult other, more experienced or knowledgeable individuals. They are often happy to help you try and make appropriate decisions.
At Aerodyne we recommend that you choose a canopy that you can land safely at your normal drop zone's field elevation, in no wind, summer conditions utilizing a normal straight in approach and progressive flare. This is true both for the main and the reserve canopies.
Please note that this selector is based upon exit weight and International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) conditions. Exit weight is body weight + equipment + clothing. ISA conditions are at Mean Sea Level MSL with a temperature of 15 degrees Celcius and a pressure of 1013,25 HectoPascal. Canopy wing performance degrades at higher altitudes and with higher temperatures.
Aerodyne has developed an objective method to determine the degree of ellipticity of a canopy planform. We have dubbed this value the "planform factor" (Pf). A higher planform factor equates to a greater degree of ellipticity and will likely exhibit the associated characteristics. Typically an elliptical canopy is more equally pressurized for better flight performance and exhibits better flare capability. Similarly the toggle pressure is usually lighter and the turn response is quicker. While these observations are not absolute, they are often typical of those exhibited by canopies with more elliptical planforms.

Apple Cider Vinegar also helps maintain healthful blood sugar levels that are already in the normal range in the body. Apple Cider Vinegar also helps to kill Germs, Viruses, Molds & Bacteria. Some Internal Benefits are improved digestion & assimilation, relieves arthritis & stiffnes, removes artery plaque and helps remove body toxins. A few external benefits are promoting a youthful body, helps maintain healthy skin, helps prevent dandruff, baldness and balances scalp pH, and soothes tight, and aching muscles & joints.
Perhaps the most sought after benefit of APPLE CIDER VINEGAR is the quick, easy WEIGHT LOSS it helps promote. Since it naturally helps your body get rid of excess fluids, helps speed up a slow metabolism and helps to "curb" your appetite. An age old product has been "re-discovered" and is now being used by millions to aid them in their weight loss endeavors. This liquid is highly absorbable so it starts working on you very quickly.

No, Apple cider vinegar will not get rid of genital warts.
Depending on factors such as the size and location of your genital warts, your health care provider will offer you one of several ways to treat them.
Imiquimod cream
20 percent podophyllin antimitotic solution
0.5 percent podofilox solution
5 percent 5-fluorouracil cream
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA)
If you are pregnant, you should not use podophyllin or podofilox because they are absorbed by your skin and may cause birth defects in your baby. In addition, you should not use 5-fluorouracil cream if you are pregnant.
If you have small warts, your health care provider can remove them by one of three methods.
Freezing (cryosurgery)
Burning (electrocautery)
Laser treatment
If you have large warts that have not responded to other treatment, you may have to have surgery to remove them.
Some health care providers inject the antiviral drug alpha interferon directly into warts that have returned after removal by traditional means. The drug is expensive, however, and does not reduce the rate that the genital warts return.
Although treatments can get rid of the warts, none get rid of the virus. Because the virus is still present in your body, warts often come back after treatment.

Weekend Update with Jimmy Fallon & Tina Fey
.....Jimmy Fallon
.....Tina Fey
Drunk Girl.....Jeff Richards
Jimmy Buffett.....Horatio Sanz
Announcer: From Studio 8H in Rockefeller Center, this is "Weekend Update with Jimmy Fallon & Tina Fey."
Jimmy Fallon: Hi, I'm Andre "Ice Cold" 3000.
Tina Fey: And I'm Big Boi. Here are tonight's top stories.
Well, two weeks after the California recall election, God has cast his vote.
(Graphic: fires) When asked to comment on the fires ravaging his state, governor elect Arnold Schwarzenegger said (in Arnold accent) "These fires are fantastic. I promised the people of California that my term would be nonstop action and excitement. We're going to keep it coming. We're going to have a huge earthquake, monsoons - we're going to make California the number one action state in the country!"
Jimmy Fallon: That was great!
Siegfried announced Thursday that his partner Roy is continuing to recover. Apparently his condition has been upgraded from critical to fabulous.
Whitney Houston is releasing her first album of Christmas songs called "One Wish." Houston's one wish: more crack.
Tina Fey: Levi's announced that they are redesigning their famous 501 jeans to compensate for the fact that Americans are getting heavier. The new design features roomier hips and thighs as well as the patented front butt technology.
In an interview, Paris Hilton said that of her and her sister, "People love to hate us. But when you know us, you love us. And if you really get to know us, you get gonorrhea."
Jimmy Fallon: After weeks of preparation, Sean P. Diddy Combs is set to compete in tomorrow's New York City Marathon.
Tina Fey: Wow so P. Diddy is running the marathon huh? I wonder how that might play out?
(P. Diddy and other marathon runners appear in front of the set)
Guy: On your marks, get set -- (shoots off gun)
(P. Diddy pulls out gun and shoots the guy)
Jimmy Fallon: Kinda like that - yeah. Almost just like that.
Tina Fey: Yeah.
While speaking at a Christian Youth Center in Dallas, President Bush said that religion helped him overcome his heavy drinking and rowdiness. But it was good old-fashioned Texas willpower that got him off the cocaine.
It has been reported that Britney Spears is now dating actor John Cusack. The two have a lot in common: she wants to pursue an acting career, and he wants to bone Britney Spears. Things were apparently going very well with the couple until Jeremy Piven demanded a supporting role.
Jimmy Fallon: After complaining about recurring headaches and nausea, Yankee coach Don Zimmer finally had his head examined on Thursday. (Graphic: Giant Jack-o-lantern)
Commenting on Condoleezza Rice's role overseeing the situation in Iraq, President Bush said that her job was to quote "help unstuck things that may get stuck. That's the best way to put it. She's an unsticker." Really? That's the best way to put it? An "unsticker"? You're the president, you can take a few more minutes if you feel - no? You're going to go with unsticker? Alright. Condoleezza Rice: Unsticker.
Tina Fey: Well Halloween is over for most people. Here with her review on this year's Halloween is Drunk Girl.
Drunk Girl: Hahahaha! Trick or Treat! Smell my feet you guys. This year I was Cat Woman - meow! Because all of my other costumes are currently being used as evidence. What are you guys dressed as? Local news blue's clues, blue's clues? Anyway, I thought this Halloween could be a lot better for a lot of reasons but then I forgot all of them but now I remember like two of them. Number one: there should be more variety in the treats people give to you. It's always Snickers, and candy corn and Reese's pieces peanut butter pieces, and of all the houses I went to, not one of them gave me a grilled cheese sandwich, which is what I really wanted. And I got to say something to Phil. Phil I'm sorry I didn't come to your party but you didn't call my cell phone - make sure you call the right number and (garbled) bottom line - you don't even know me. I also got something to say to Jimmy. (climbs up on desk) Do you like m&m's, Jimmy?
Jimmy Fallon: They're my favorite actually.
Drunk Girl: Good. Cause I saved a bunch for you. (Unzips costume and spills candy all over the desk)
Jimmy Fallon: Yeah. I think you forgot a blue one over there.
Drunk Girl: That's not an m&m, Jimmy.
Tina Fey: Ewwwww! Drunk Girl, everyone! (Drunk Girl falls off desk)
Jimmy Fallon: Gary Turner, an Englishman, set a record for having 153 clothespins attached to his face. This explains his nickname "the human idiot".
Rod Roddy, the announcer on the game show The Price is Right, famous for his line, "come on down," passed away Monday. But I'd like to think that Rod Roddy is continuing to shout his signature phrase for all eternity, nestled warmly at the right hand of Satan.
Rod Roddy, dead this week at the age of ah - lets see 60 - (audience starts to shout out numbers) What? My brother-in-law says 64. Five? Four? What I can't hear? I'm going to go with my wife and say 66. (ding ding ding) Yes I won! (Gets up and starts dancing around)
Tina Fey: Come on! That is a real guy! That's a real guy that died. Come on.
Jimmy Fallon: Sorry.
Tina Fey: The Lakers fined Kobe Bryant this week after he insulted teammate Shaquille O'Neal, calling him "child-like, unprofessional, selfish, fat and jealous." Bryant then added, "and you know what else? Shaq couldn't rape his way out of a wet paper bag!"
Jimmy Fallon: This week a video tape came to light documenting a lavish party in Sardinia thrown by the chairman of Tyco Dennis Koslowski, using over 2 million dollars in embezzled funds. Among the party's many extravagances were dancers dressed like Roman Gods, a giant ice sculpture that dispensed vodka out of its penis, and perhaps strangest of all, a private one-hour concert by Jimmy Buffett for which he was paid a quarter of a million dollars. Here to offer an insiders perspective on the party, Jimmy Buffett, himself ladies and gentlemen.
Jimmy Buffett: Hey! How you doing Jimmy?
Jimmy Fallon: Hey. How's it going man? I'm doing all right. Good to see you. Uh.
Jimmy Buffett: Good to see you man.
Jimmy Fallon: It sounds like a lot of crazy stuff was going on at that party. You want to tell me about it?
Jimmy Buffett: Hey man, if that party was crazy, I don't want to be sane. All the folks out there in parrot head nation know what I'm talking about. Sqwaack. Polly wants to party! Aww man but it was pretty nuts. In fact, I wrote a song about it. Check this out.
"Got a call from my agent Marty
To play some rich dude's party
In Sardinia, just farting around
Wasting 2 million dollars on exploding tittie cakes
Drinking vodka out of some ice sculpture's prong
Some people say that we're a bunch of creeps
They might be right, Jimmy
I repeat I was drinking vodka out of an ice sculpture's prong."
Jimmy Fallon: Come on, that doesn't even fit. That didn't even fit where it's supposed to fit.
Jimmy Buffett: It's vamp. You vamp.
Jimmy Fallon: It's called vamp?
Jimmy Buffett: It's called vamp. Man Jimmy, you gotta relax, bro. You gotta put your mind on the beach, my man. Key West! Ah man you got one hand on a frozen margarita, and the other one crammed down your paisley swim trunks.
Jimmy Fallon: See I don't understand.
Jimmy Buffett: Just starring out at the ocean watching the dolphins play grab-ass with each other.
Jimmy Fallon: How do dolphins play grab-ass with each other?
Jimmy Buffett: Not now, bro bro.
Jimmy Fallon: When?
Jimmy Buffett: You wanna hear another song about this crazy party? Well hear you go.
Jimmy Fallon: You didn't give me a chance to answer.
Jimmy Buffett:
"Muscle dudes wearing togas
Getting high with Hulk Hogan
Putting jalapeño poppers up monkey's ass
Wasting away in Sardinia
Woke up in a hot tub full of chile con carne
Some people say I was also pretty heavily drugged
Yes I was, Jimmy! I don't remember a thing."
Jimmy Fallon: That sounds awful. Well you probably -- (Buffett does a flourish at the end of his song) You're having a good time.
Jimmy Buffett: I call that the slide
Jimmy Fallon: What's that called?
Jimmy Buffett: I call it the slide and pick
Jimmy Fallon: Yeah - nothing came out there but that's alright
Jimmy Buffett: Again Jimmy, I know man. Listen, I don't remember a lot of that party. A lot of really crazy stuff went down. Kinda passed out, but when I woke up, I had a tattoo of an eagle on the back of my scalp and someone had written a third song about the party on the back of my god damn head. Do you believe that?
Jimmy Fallon: You're right, you're right. I see it.
Jimmy Buffett: And luckily I read music you know.
Jimmy Fallon: Luckily you remembered it as well
Jimmy Buffett: They wrote it backwards so I can look in the mirror and go 'oh hey, this is a good tune, this is a good tune'. So here it is. This is the third song.
Jimmy Fallon: Aren't we lucky!
Jimmy Buffett:
"Smoking a whole lot of feline laxatives
I threw a midget into a swimming pool
Some people say that he almost drowned
I think he may have, Jimmy.
Embezzling money is cool --"
Jimmy Fallon: Get out of here. Jimmy Buffett, everybody. For Weekend Update, I'm Andre "Ice Cold" 3000.
Jimmy Tina Fey: And I'm Big Boi. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

According to a Miami Herald report recently posted on its Web site, the Heat are in serious negotiations with the Suns to deal Shaquille O'Neal for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks. If someone can tell me how Shaq fits in with the run-and-gun Suns then I'll believe this would make any sense at all.
The Mavs, as usual, are also mentioned in the article as a possible suitor. However, apparently the Heat have informed O'Neal's camp to expect a trade to X or Y team, but that the Mavs were not a team named specifically to O'Neal's representatives, according to the report.
The oft-injured O'Neal, 35, often appears as if his storied career is on its last legs. He has one of the worst contracts in the league. He still has two seasons left at $20 million per, so it's a huge gamble for any team. The Mavs don't have the expiring contracts the Heat crave. The only wild card is the often-mentioned Keith Van Horn situation. The Mavs still own his rights so they could sign him, package him with someone else and then trade him.
To do that the Mavs would have to clear a roster spot, which wouldn't be terribly difficult. But, this scenario is a long, long, long shot.
Shaq doesn't seem a keen move for any team other than one that needs to sell tickets, and the Mavs certainly don't have a problem there.
But, again, until I hear back from Mark Cuban or Donnie Nelson, both of whom were contacted just moments ago, anything is possible.

In his role Richard will be reaching out to the banding community, spreading the word about the charity's work and enthusing people to come on board and support the charity in whatever way they can.
A message from our Brass Band Ambassador
"When I think about my first years in Brass banding in the '40s and '50s, I realise how lucky I have been with all the support received from the Brass Band movement…
The young players in Uganda have virtually nothing, yet my dear friend Alan Fernie told me when he visited them, that they never stopped smiling and were the happiest brass musicians he had ever seen.
Please friends, let us help to give these youngsters a brighter future!

From press & staff reports
After many delays and decisions, the Winston County Crimestoppers program is in operation and ready for calls.
Over a year in the making, the Winston County Crimestoppers program hopes to help law enforcement agencies solve more crimes. Their mission is to solve and prevent serious crime in partnership with citizens, media and the criminal justice system. CrimeStoppers uses an assessment fee on every ticket to fund the program and the rewards for tips on cases. The program is of no cost to the city and county.
An earlier issue of control of the program was one of the reasons for its delay. The city had previously been a part of the Golden Triangle CrimeStoppers, but with the formation of a local chapter felt it could be more effective working with the county. Now with both city and county being involved, the program is now a reality and looks to enhance the quality of life in the county.
The Crimestoppers program provides a method of involving citizens in helping solving crimes by sharing their knowledge relating to a specific crime. The program encourages, either through civic or monetary reasons, to come forward to police and relay that information. The program also allows participants to remain totally and completely anonymous if they desire. The organization aims to provide a safe forum for citizens to report crime in their neighborhoods without the fear of retaliation.
When a tip is called in, the person will be given a tip number. The tip number can be used at a later date by calling the tip line and supplying the operator with the number. The operator will then tell if your tip led to an arrest.
The Winston County Crimestoppers are asking with the community's help in the May 28 fraud robbery of a convenience store in the Louisville. Around 6:30 p.m. on that date, three males entered the store and performed a "quick change scam", involving distracting the cahier while they are giving change. The three male suspects were able to obtain several hundred dollars before leaving the scene in a white Dodge Charger.
Also, Crimestoppers would like the community to be aware of a rash of Green Dot card scams in the Louisville area. In the scam persons are told they have won money and prizes but to collect they must purchase a Green Dot MoneyPak card and provide the number to the company- the scammers.
The Winston County Sheriff's Department offers some basic tips to help keep you from becoming a victim of these or similar scams:
NEVER reply to an email, pop-up, telephone or text message that asks for personal or financial information. Legitimate companies WILL NOT ask for this information.
ALWAYS contact the organization using a telephone number you know to be correct if you are concerned about your account. Do not call or text the number left in the message, and NEVER follow an internet link to a site.
ALWAYS keep your anti-virus software up to date. In addition, use a firewall, which helps to make you invisible on the Internet and blocks communication from unauthorized sources.
BE CAUTIOUS about opening attachments or downloading files from emails you receive, regardless of the sender. Anyone who suspects they have been a victim of this scam or any other, should contact the Consumer Protection Division of the Attorney General's Office at 1-800-281-4418.
If you have any information regarding any of these crimes, or any other crime, contact Winston County Crimestoppers at 662-773-9999. You can also visit their website at www.winstoncountycrimestoppers.com.

What, you've never been to Nueva Jerusalen La Laguna? Well, now's your chance!
The pictures and the story will give you a feel for this family's visit. The village is K'ekchi' – (Q'eqchi') – a people group numbering about 400,000 in Guatemala.
Thursday night we were invited to the village of Nueva Jerusalen La Laguna to attend a special service for the women. The village is about an hour away. The pastor and another man met us at the store in La Torre to show us the way. He wanted us to be there at 3:00. Why so early?

Beating the Loneliness of the Long-Distance Freelancer
One of the big benefits of freelancing is that you don't have to go into the office. There's no office politics, no gossip around the watercooler, and no boss looking over your shoulder. But there's also no camaraderie, no daily contacts and no friendly chats. Working from home, day after day, can be a pretty lonely affair, a situation that can have a strong effect on both happiness and productivity. According to Professor Stephen Humphrey of Florida State University, a "socially supportive workplace" contributes to greater job satisfaction, lower feelings of exhaustion, and a reduced likelihood of wanting to quit. People whose work depends on others also perform better and have lower stress. So what can freelancers do to beat the loneliness of working from home without the losing the benefits of freelance freedom?
Some steps are relatively easy. An active social media presence can go some way towards making up for the lack of human contact. Facebook provides a simple way to keep up to date with the gossip you might otherwise miss and an active Twitter stream can provide at least a sense that there are people out there, chatting and thinking about the same things that interest you. But the power of a virtual social life is limited, and using Facebook's instant messaging service can take too much attention away from a project.
Working in an office part-time might help. If you could combine a regular day job for one or two days a week with freelance work, you might be able to put together the best of both worlds: you'd get a regular injection of company (and one regular source of income) while still retaining your freedom during the rest of the week. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, some 8.5 million people — about one in sixteen workers — now hold part-time jobs. Not all of those people are working short hours willingly but reduced hours have been a popular way for employers to cut costs during the downturn without losing skilled staff. Keep in touch with your former colleagues, keep an eye on local businesses in your field and let people know that you'd be willing to work eight to sixteen hours a week if they need the help. You might just be able to give your freelance business a new balance.
Even if you don't want to go into the office at all though, there are still a few more ways you can win the benefits of sociability without saying goodbye to freelance life.
- Build a Joint Project
Freelancers don't just work alone, we also tend to work independently. The projects we complete might be stand-alone, such as an e-book or a website, or they'll be inserted later into a product over which we've had no influence at all. A logo designer doesn't need to talk to the company's copywriter to do her work; the client's guidelines are enough.
Work on a project as part of a team though, and the interaction comes as a bonus.
Those kinds of projects are rare on freelance job sites but we can create them ourselves. Etsy's Teams look a lot like groups and forums on other sites but they're actually platforms for different artists to work together.
Larissa Liberato, for example, makes party favors but has created a team on Etsy to help "all brides find the custom wedding decor of their dreams." Her dream, she says, would be for the team to work as one to pull off a wedding. "We could recommend brides to our team and have brainstorm sessions with them, show them our items that best match their needs or they can request custom items."
It's a step beyond swapping advice and raising issues towards co-operation in serving clients. And for some freelancers, it can be a useful way to work with someone on a paying project.
- Take a Course
Even if we have to work alone, we don't have to learn alone — and we should always be learning. Whether you're a designer who needs to keep up to date with the latest software tools, a developer who needs to know a new language, or a writer who can brush up on editing or technical writing skills, there's always more to know and more ways to broaden your professional services.
Most towns have adult education centers whose courses are often subsidized. (This is one at Santa Barbara City College.) You should be able to find a class there that can boost your business or even just give you a fun education. And if you can't, you could try teaching. That will give you some income and interaction with both students and teachers.
- Attend a Conference
A class is likely to be regular and relatively cheap. Professional conferences are occasional and can be expensive. The HOW Design Live Creative Freelancer Conference to be held in June 2012 costs $545 (or $595 if you book after March 30th.) Develop in Brighton, a conference held in the UK earlier this year, was a lot cheaper with special day rates for independent workers of just £50 – £75.
Like a course, a conference can provide an education but more importantly, it delivers contacts that can stay with you throughout the year, helping a freelancer to feel less like a lone worker and more like a team member.
- Co-Working
And between classes and conferences, there's always co-working. Cafes might give you some conversation with other digital nomads, and you can chat with the waiters and baristas, but for a real sense that you have colleagues, there's only the shared space of co-working. Rates vary. New Work City, a space in New York, charges $300 a month for full membership, but also provides some access for as little as $25 per month. Creative Density Coworking in Denver offers plans from $75 to $300 but also provides a free day trial.
The site also likes to point out that a survey of its users found that 42 percent saw an increase in income, 88 percent interact better with people and 60 percent said that they were more relaxed at home — even when they weren't working there.

Dulcimer Workshop Quotes
From Beginners
"What can I say? Thomasina is an excellent teacher for beginner dulcimer. Our class had a wide range of students with differing amounts of musical experience and abilities. She was able to keep the class together and each student was able to progress at his/her own pace without being held back or left behind. This is not an easy thing to do. I could not be happier with the instruction I received. I'll be back!"
"Sina is an excellent teacher. She introduced material and explained until we understood. She had us go over the songs slow enough and long enough for us to learn them. She was very concerned about each student and was open for suggestions of songs we wanted to learn. Having one teacher for the beginner class was wonderful and helped us to bond and learn more. Before the week was over we had learned many songs, studied a little theory, learned to tune our dulcimer, know the difference in ADD and DAD and tuned and played in both, a little pickin', capote. It was a real overview and basic class."
"Thomasina is an excellent teacher. Very patient. Provided us with appropriate music – gave attention to each student. Class size of 10 was just right."
"Very good pedagogical approach, clear instructions, inspired teacher – fun to be with, very patient, very good rapport between fellow students!"
"Thomasina was able to blend the talents of 10 diverse people from those who knew very little of music to those who had a more extensive background, and make us into a cohesive group. She was very enthusiastic and supportive. I would love to take another class from her some day. I felt very challenged and learned a great deal."
"There are not enough words in my vocabulary to describe how wonderful she was as a person and as a teacher. On a scale of 1 to 10, she was a 10! The class materials were wonderful to have. The speed of the class was just right for me and it was challenging. It was stimulating. We all left the week with materials to work on and goals to reach."
From Intermediates
"Thomasina was great, as always. The music she provided was appropriate and her approach is both warm and professional. Her bringing in some improvisation was good for me as I'm slow to spread my wings. It was a good experience. Probably mostly because it wasn't at all threatening."
"Excellent!! Thomasina is a great teacher. Very skilled at working with a class of people on a wide range of levels and making sure they all understand and get what they came to learn."
"A great session. Helped me understand chords better, capoing and various tunings. Presented techniques for flatpicking, strumming and some fingerpicking. "Sina" is a top=flight instructor. Went out of her way to help one with my problems. I can recommend her as an instructor – very knowledgeable. Learned several nice new tunes."
"Wonderful instruction, geared to student needs. I found her strategies extremely effective. Just a few minutes allowed to practice prior to executing w/ group was helpful. No teacher had ever done this for me. Her style was just what I needed to start relaxing and relation to music. She was very encouraging to all students. Thanks you, super tab!"

A British man who beat and strangled his girlfriend to death while on holiday in the Canary Islands has been jailed for 24 years.
Christopher Chittock killed 23-year-old Sarah Shields on a beach on Gran Canaria on July 6, 2010, after finding text messages from an ex-boyfriend on her phone.
On the night of the attack, Chittock repeatedly punched his girlfriend in the bedroom of their holiday apartment in the resort of Mogan.
He then dragged her in the dark to a deserted beach, punched her to the ground, banged her head against a rock and strangled her.
Before burning her clothes, he dumped Ms Shields' body in the sea, where it was found the following morning.
The engineer then flew back to the home he shared with Ms Shields in Ipswich.
In a desperate attempt to cover up his crime, he kept his girlfriend's phone and sent texts to her family pretending to be her.
A European arrest warrant was issued and he was detained in September 2010 before being extradited to Spain.
The 38-year-old was convicted of the murder by a jury at the Provincial Court in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, in Spain, on Friday.
Sentencing Chittock, magistrate Secundino Aleman also ordered him to pay Ms Shields' parents 200,000 euros (£172,000).
Chittock had denied murder and claimed Ms Shields left him for another British holidaymaker called Jason before she died.
The trial heard that the attack began after Chittock discovered the text exchange between Ms Shields and former boyfriend William Newham.
Although jurors found that this had not been proved, Mr Aleman said he was satisfied Chittock "acted out of spite" because of jealousy.
He also pointed out that Mr Newham gave evidence during the trial confirming he had been in contact with Ms Shields while she was on holiday.
"The accused himself admits he got angry with Sarah, although this was supposedly because she was going to leave him to stay and live in Gran Canaria with another person who she had met on the complex a couple of days before," the magistrate added.
