Tennis center to be built at WTS
by Joshua Maloni
Trustees in the Village of Lewiston said Monday it's their intention to not raise taxes in the 2013-14 budget.
"The tentative budget calls for no increase in taxes. It is at $7.12 per $1,000 (of assessed valuation). Hopefully we can keep it at the $7.12," said Mayor Terry Collesano. "I must admit that all the departments came in and they really pulled the belts in a little tighter, another notch, but I believe that we'll be able to present the budget at $7.12 at this point."
As part of a projected $3,339,986 budget, village employees would receive a 3 percent pay raise. Village residents, on the other hand, would receive a pay cut, of sorts. The board seeks to lessen the municipal water rate and eliminate a maintenance fee.
"In crunching the numbers, from when we were looking at merging with the (Town of Lewiston's) water, we decided not to do that, because we figured out that 70 percent of our village residents would be paying an increase in their water rates," Collesano said.
"But going through the crunching of the numbers, we found out that, with what we already charge, that we can reduce the water rates - and we will be reducing the water rates, as well as eliminating the $5 per quarter surcharge," he added. "The residents can expect to see a decrease in their water bill soon."
The current water rate is $3.55 per 100 cubic feet. The reduction is expected to be between 5 and 6 cents.
The $5 fee, meanwhile, was designed to offset the cost of upkeep on the water lines.
The board is required to hold a public hearing prior to these rate changes taking effect. If the measures are ultimately approved, Village Clerk Anne Welch said the adjustments would begin with the July water bill.
Tennis court at WTS
The Village Board approved a revised development plan at 435 N. Second St., for a private tennis/recreation building.
Waste Technology Services President and CEO Gary Hall was initially granted permission to build a tennis court in 2011. However, his development plan expired during the time in which he was proposing to spearhead financing for a public recreation center in the Village of Lewiston, the Town of Lewiston or at Niagara University.
When Hall couldn't reach an agreement with any of the above, he returned to his original idea.
This tennis center will be slightly different than what was originally proposed. The building will now be freestanding, and not attached to WTS. It will be situated on the north side of the parking lot, with its front facing south.
"I like it," said Deputy Mayor Bruce Sutherland.
The tennis center's main body will be 80-by-120 feet long, and up to 35 feet tall, which is roughly the same height as WTS. The new development's exterior will match the existing building.
The Planning and Historic Preservation Board approved the revised development plan on March 11 (Chairman David Giusiana abstained from the vote, as he created the design for Hall).
"It really complements the other building," said Planning Board member Jamie Symmonds.
"It looks nice," added Dave Maslen. "I think it's another improvement to the area."
Hall did not attend either meeting.
Upcoming Events
A number of warm weather events were approved over the course of two board meetings this month.
On March 4, trustees approved facility contracts for:
•Water Street Landing to use the North Water Street parking lot for a concert on Sunday, May 19. Ambrosia is expected to headline "Back on the Water," which runs from noon until 8:30 p.m.;
•Mount St. Mary's Hospital and Health Center to use Marilyn Toohey Park for its annual 5K run starting at 9 a.m. on Saturday, June 22;
•The Niagara Wine Trail to use Academy Park from noon until 7 p.m. the weekend of July 27-28 for wine tasting, food sales and a farmers market; and
•Theatre in the Mist to use Academy Park from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 8, for a Chiavetta's chicken barbecue and basket raffle fundraiser.
On March 18, the board OK'd facility contracts for:
•Sparkle Marketing & Events to use Academy Park on Sunday, June 23, from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., for a health, wellness and fitness festival, and a 5K run, all held in conjunction with Lewiston's new ChrisFit Wellness Center; and
•The Lewiston Village Pub and Restaurant to use Academy Park from Friday, May 31, through Sunday, June 2, for its fifth annual PubFest, held to benefit the Variety Kid's Telethon, and Village of Lewiston first responders.
Trustees approved a motion to close Niagara Street, between Plain and Cayuga streets, for "Historical Happenings at the Lewiston Museum." This Historical Association of Lewiston event runs from 1 until 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 14. HAL was also given permission to use the Hennepin Park Gazebo on Sunday, Aug. 18, from 1 until 3 p.m., for a family-friendly musical performance. The public is invited to attend.
Finally, village residents Mamie Simonson and Claudia Marasco will lead the collections charge outside of Artpark for a fifth year. The board approved their request to solicit donations from patrons entering into the venue for the "Tuesday in the Park" concert series.
Proceeds will once again benefit Community Missions, and food pantries at Heart, Love and Soul in Niagara Falls and Care and Share in Ransomville.


text: This experimental documentary is a compendium of striking images of Eastern Europe and its citizens in transition, following the collapse of the so-called Cold War. Places as diverse as Baltic beaches, and Moscow's snow-covered streets vie for attention along with the citizens of these places as they wait in lines, march in military formation, or stand idle in the waiting rooms of train stations. There is no narration, and no clear point (except the idea of transitions) is indicated by the beautifully chosen, enigmatic imagery. Indeed, there is not even much musical accompaniment. Fans of director Chantal Akerman's aggressively "non-commercial" work are likelier to find this film more appealing than the average viewer will.

A few days ago, it was reported that the iOS5 built-in camera app has a hidden Panorama mode. Sadly, to enable the mode, users needed to jailbreak their iDevice, which many users might not be interested in doing.
Thankfully, iDevice owners can now enable the Panorama mode in the iOS5 camera app, without jailbreaking it. They just need to modify their iDevice backup, to enable the feature.
Here is how you can enable panorama mode in iOS5 without jailbreaking your iDevice -:
1) Backup your iDevice via iTunes. Then proceed to download and install iBackupBot from here.
2) Then launch the iBackupBot app on your PC or Mac. Users now need to point the app to their latest iDevice backup. The backup file is usually stored in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup in a Mac, and Windows users need to head over to C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to find all the backups of their iDevice.
3) Select your latest iDevice backup, and then search for Library/Preferences/com.aaple.mobileslideshow.plist. Open the file, and then add the following line of code-:
Now, just save the file and then restore the same backup using iTunes.
You have now successfully enabled Panorama mode on your iOS5 iDevice camera app, without jailbreaking it!
Keep in mind that the Panorama mode will only work for iDevices with a gyroscope, which include the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and the latest gen iPod Touch.

After being fingered as the top piracy school in the US by the RIAA, Ohio University has decided to enact a wholesale ban on file-sharing and other P2P applications on the campus network. Effective at midnight tonight, campus IT will begin monitoring its network for P2P activity. Any computer found to be engaged in file-sharing will be taken offline until its owner contacts the school's service desk.
"Left unchecked, P2P applications can consume all available network bandwidth," said Ohio University CIO Brice Bible. "In fact this happened at Ohio University years ago when the original Napster file-sharing program became widely available."
So far, Ohio University has received over 100 prelitigation settlement letters from the RIAA in the wake of the music industry's renewed crackdown on file-sharing. The school estimates that the RIAA's missives have resulted in about 120 hours of work for its staffers.
Ars contacted other schools on the RIAA's top 25 hit list to see if they had any plans to follow suit. None of those that we talked to are planning to follow Ohio University's lead in the near term, although they're not ruling it out in the future. Melanie Magara, assistant vice president for Public Relations at Northern Illinois University (#13 on the RIAA's list), told Ars that since the RIAA's crackdown got under way, they've been contacted by a number of vendors touting products that would stamp out file-sharing. "We have yet to find a product that can truly and effectively stop file sharing in a way that would allow for legitimate uses," Magara said.
We heard similar stories from other schools. A spokesperson for another school on the list, which preferred not be identified, said his institution wasn't ready to follow Ohio's lead. "We're sort of stuck in the middle on this issue," he said. "We're getting pressure from the RIAA and being bombarded with preliminary notices, but there's nothing we can do other than pointing students to our acceptable use policy. If we try to kill off the Azureus traffic, we run the risk of throttling legitimate P2P traffic, too."
After the conversations, I came away with the impression that the schools were both really irritated by the RIAA's tactics, but also at a loss for a way to make the problem go away. When it comes to the settlement letters, schools are taking different approaches. Some are passing them on to students; others, like the University of Wisconsin, will not unless they are served with a subpoena.
Other schools will be watching how Ohio University's blanket ban on P2P applications works, especially since most of them have discussed taking similar action in the past. "At a policy level, we're not where Ohio University is at this time," Magara told Ars. "But that doesn't mean it's not being discussed."

PC Engines Alix 2d13 board
Last week I ordered a Alix 2d13 bundle and it arrived last Friday. I installed an OpenBSD snapshot through PXE as described in http://openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#PXE
For the technical specs of this board see http://pcengines.ch/alix2d13.htm
After fitting the circuit board in the case, it looks like this (the purpose of the pen is only to give an impression of the size):
A view of the rear with the serial port, the 3 LAN ports, 2x USB and the power connector:
You don't need to be a genius to debug a pf.conf firewall ruleset, you just need the guts to run tcpdump
It would be nice if the processor was a bit faster, more memory (Alix ships with non-upgradable 256MB RAM...) would be nice, & the vr(4) NIC's (Three can be found in the 2d13... ) are only rated at 10/100. It would be nice if they were 10/100/1000 & capable of supporting VLAN's, but they aren't.
However, as posted on OpenBSD's misc@ mailing list last week:
They can be configured to be nice little IPSec end-points.
I have a number of these systems for various uses (though not as many as in the picture posted to misc@...). Heck, I may even get another one for something else.
I just read http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=135813500222353&w=2
It has a patch to allow hardware VLAN tagging for vr(4)

Vidur Acting Institute Spreads Across India …….. Almost!! Is it narcissistic? Is it megalomania? Some will yell, yes! But here are the reason and facts.
Few days back, I was posting a greeting for the people of Mizoram on the occasion of Chapchar Kut. I always write, " To all my students, friends & well-wishers ……. " I suddenly realised that I have yet to get an acting student from Mizoram. I started counting. Then I realised that apart from Mizoram, I don't have any student from Arunachal Pradesh either.
At this point of time there are 29 states in the Republic of India. They are : ANDHRA PRADESH // ARUNACHAL PRADESH // ASSAM // BIHAR // CHHATTISGARH // GOA // GUJARAT // HARYANA // HIMACHAL PRADESH // JAMMU & KASHMIR // JHARKHAND // KARNATAKA // KERALA // MADHYA PRADESH // MAHARASHTRA // MANIPUR // MEGHALAYA // MIZORAM // NAGALAND // ODISHA // PUNJAB // RAJASTHAN // SIKKIM // TAMIL NADU // TELANGANA // TRIPURA // UTTAR PRADESH // UTTARAKHAND // WEST BENGAL
Out of 29 states of India, I have got and trained students from 27 states. Only 2 states; ARUNACHAL PRADESH & MIZORAM are still out of my reach.
ONLY TWO [ 02 ] out of TWENTY NINE [ 29 ] !!
Therefore I titled the blog – "Vidur Acting Institute Spreads Across India …… Almost!!"
ARUNACHAL PRADESH, one of the twenty-nine states of the Republic of India , borders Assam and Nagaland to the south, and shares international borders with Bhutan in the west, Burma in the east and Tibet in the north. Itanagar is the capital of the state.
Formerly called the North-East Frontier Agency, [ NEFA ] , was ceded to Britain by the Tibetan government with the Simla Accord (1914).
NEFA was renamed as Arunachal Pradesh on 20 January 1972 and it became a Union Territory. Arunachal Pradesh became a state on 20 February 1987.
MIZORAM is one of the 8 states of Northeast India, with Aizawl as its capital. It is the southern most landlocked state sharing borders with three of the Eight sister states, namely Tripura, Assam, Manipur. The state also shares a 722 kilometer border with the neighbouring countries of Bangladesh and Myanmar.
Like several other northeastern states of India, Mizoram was previously part of Assam until 1972, when it was carved out as a Union Territory. It became the 23rd state of India on 20 February 1987.
Apart from 2 above mentioned states, I have yet to get students from 3 Union Territories. They are : DADRA & NAGAR HAVELI // DAMAN & DIU // LAKSHADWEEP
At this point of time there are 7 Union Territories in the Republic of India. They are : ANDAMAN & NICOBAR ISLANDS // CHANDIGARH // DADRA & NAGAR HAVELI // DAMAN & DIU // LAKSHADWEEP // NCR DELHI // PUDUCHERRY
I have trained actors from 4 of the 7 UTs. Only 3 remain. They are; DADRA & NAGAR HAVELI // DAMAN & DIU // LAKSHADWEEP
ONLY THREE [ 03 ] out of SEVEN [ 07 ] !!
Therefore I titled the blog – "Vidur Acting Institute Spreads Across India …… Almost!!"
DAMAN & DIU : For over 450 years, the coastal enclaves of Daman (Portuguese: Damão) and Diu on the Arabian Sea coast were part of Portuguese India, along with Goa and Dadra and Nagar Haveli. Goa, Daman and Diu were incorporated into the Republic of India on December 19, 1961, by military conquest. Portugal did not recognise the Indian annexation of these territories until 1974.
The territory of "Goa, Daman and Diu" was administered as a single union territory until 1987. Then Goa was granted statehood, leaving Daman and Diu as a separate union territory.
DADRA & NAGAR HAVELI is a Union Territory in Western India. Nagar Haveli is wedged between Maharashtra and Gujarat, whereas Dadra is an enclave surrounded by Gujarat. The shared capital is Silvassa.
Maghval is a small enclave village belonging to Gujarat that is located within Nagar Haveli, just south of Silvassa in Dadra and Nagar Haveli.
The Portuguese occupied Nagar Haveli on 10 June 1783 on the basis of Friendship Treaty executed on 17 December 1779 as compensation towards damage to the Portuguese frigate by Maratha Navy. Then, in 1785 the Portuguese purchased Dadra.
Under the Portuguese rule or the Estado da Índia (Portuguese State of India) Dadra & Nagar Haveli formed a single concelho (municipality), named "Nagar Haveli", with its head in Darará until 1885 and, after that, with its head in the town of Silvassa.
After India attained Independence in 1947, the residents of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, with the help of volunteers of organisations, subtracted the territories of Dadra and Nagar Haveli from Portuguese India in 1954.
In 1961 when Indian forces took over Goa, Daman, and Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli was also merged with the Republic of India.
On 31 December 1974 a treaty was signed between India and Portugal on recognition of India's sovereignty over Goa, Daman, Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli.
LAKSHADWEEP : formerly known as the Laccadive, Minicoy, and Aminidivi Islands is a group of islands in the Laccadive Sea, 200 to 440 kilometres off the south-western coast of India. The archipelago is a Union Territory and is governed by the Union Government of India. The islands form the smallest Union Territory of India: their total surface area is just 32 km2 (12 sq mi). Kavaratti serves as the capital of the Union Territory and the region comes under the jurisdiction of Kerala High Court.
In the 16th century the Portuguese took control of the archipelago but the islanders expelled them in 1545. In the 17th century, the islands came under the rule of Ali Rajahs /Arakkal Bheevi of Kannur, who received them as a gift from the Kolathiris.
The Aminidivi group of islands (Androth, Amini, Kadmat, Kiltan, Chetlath and Bitra) came under the rule of Tipu Sultan in 1787. They passed to British control after the Third Anglo-Mysore War and were attached to South Canara. The rest of the islands came under the suzerainty of the Arakkal family of Cannanore in return for a payment of annual tribute. The British took over the administration of those islands for non-payment of arrears. These islands were attached to the Malabar district of the Madras Presidency during the British Raj.
In 1956, during the reorganization of Indian states, the Lakshadweep islands were organized into a separate union territory for administrative purposes.
It is a proud moment for me. It is very satisfying for any acting institute. I feel blessed that out of 36 states and Union Territories of my country, I have trained students from 31. Only 05 still remain out of my reach.
STATES : ONLY TWO [ 02 ] remain out of TWENTY NINE [ 29 ] !! [ ARUNACHAL PRADESH & MIZORAM ]
UNION TERRITORIES : ONLY THREE [ 03 ] remain out of SEVEN [ 07 ] !! [ DADRA & NAGAR HAVELI // DAMAN & DIU // LAKSHADWEEP ]
INDIA : ONLY FIVE [ 05 ] remain out of THIRTY SIX [ 36 ] !!
Therefore I titled the blog – "Vidur Acting Institute Spreads Across India …… Almost!!"

text: To reduce spitting up, burp the baby several times during and after feeding. Sit the baby upright, with your hand supporting the head. Let the baby lean over slightly, bending at the waist. The upright posture moves air to the top of the stomach, and the forward lean puts a little pressure on the stomach to eject the air, helping the baby to burp.

It's the middle of winter and even after a bit of taunting Wayne has taken the girls on a rainy adventure.
First no one wanted to go and then Juliette decided that she would. Wayne dressed her in a thermal, tinkerbell costume, jersey, raincoat, sunhat and gumboots.
Trelise and Madeleine refused to go. They went to leave and Madeleine had a change of heart so she was all dressed up in wet weather gear. Trelise still refused to go. As they were leaving Trelise decided that she to would come on the adventure. All dressed up they headed out.
How will this adventure end?
At 13 minutes Trelise and Madeleine arrived home. Trelise screaming (surprise, surprise) but Madeleine in good spirits. Juliette and Wayne headed back out to feed some wet ducks!

Photography After Frank, a page-turning look at contemporary photography by New York Times writer and former picture editor Philip Gefter, takes Robert Frank's pivotal 1950s photographs as its starting point. Charting the medium's trajectory through a variety of genres and practices, Gefter postulates that photography post-Frank has created a paradox: While the photographic image has brought us to a heightened awareness of the world around us, the constant representation of who we are has conspired against our natural state of innocence.
Gefter begins with Robert Frank's challenge to photography's formal objectivity with the grainy, off-handed spontaneity of The Americans. Next comes the challenge to the factual fidelity of "documentary" photography with the evolution of the "staged document." Other topics and themes include photojournalism; portraiture; the influence of collectors; and the market's effect on art-making, such as the spawning of super-sized prints. Gefter seamlessly interweaves Frank's legacy with the work of dozens of important artists who have followed in his wake, from Lee Friedlander and Nan Goldin to Stephen Shore and Sze Tsung Leong.
Philip Gefter was on staff at the New York Times for more than fifteen years, where his roles included page one picture editor and senior picture editor for culture. Early in his career Gefter was a picture editor at fortune and an assistant editor at Aperture. In 2010, he produced the award-winning documentary Bill Cunningham New York. The recipient of a Museum Scholar residency at the Getty Research Institute, he writes regularly about photography and is working on a biography of curator-collector Sam Wagstaff.

Tea Party Group Sends Fundraising Email With Pic of Karl Rove in Nazi Uniform
You know your Nazi analogies are getting out of control when you start using them against people who are basically on your side: Tea Party Group Pictures Rove in Nazi Uniform.
A top tea party group is taking its clash with Karl Rove to a new level, sending out a fundraising email Tuesday featuring a photoshopped image of the GOP operative in an SS uniform.
"Wipe the Smirk Off Karl Rove's Face," reads the subject line of the email, from Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder and national coordinator of the Tea Party Patriots.
The email features a photo illustration in which Rove's face is grafted onto a photo of a uniformed officer in the Reichsführer-SS, an elite class of soldier in the German Schutzstaffel during Adolph Hitler's Third Reich. The lower left-hand corner of the photo features the inscriptions "Reichsführer-SS" and "K. Rove," and appears to match a photo of SS Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler.
The spokesman for Tea Party Patriots says it was an accident. Because anybody could end up with a picture of Karl Rove wearing an SS uniform in a fundraising email. There's a lot of it going around.
Jameson Cunningham, a spokesman for Tea Party Patriots, said the image was added by accident. "The image was a mistake which was never approved by TPP," he told POLITICO.
Gotta love those wacky, irrepressible teabaggers. They keep coming up with new ways to make themselves look like complete idiots. Good thing they're not actually influential with the Republican Party or anything like that. (Cough.)

Hi guys,
As part of a Research project in cryptography i am doing a very basic model of a dictionary attack. This is not an actual dictionary attack just to help explain things in my essay.
So here is what Im trying to do:
I have made a very small dictionary using String Array that contains just around 50 words or so.
I have Created Scanner object to read in user input.
Here is what I have so far:
String[] words = new String[] { "animal", "anthony", "bear", "bright", "cat", "cities", "control", "copper", "country", "degree", "driving", "electric", "earth", "eggs", "expert", "family", "female", "flying", "friend", "fuit", "guessing", "german", "gold", "green", "happy", "harbour", "heart", "history", "horse", "insect", "interest", "internet", "island", "jelly", "journey", "judge", "kettle", "kiss", "language", "laugh", "letter", "loud", "machine", "male", "manager", "market", "married", "measure", "monkey", "noise", "nose", "number", "officer", "opinion", "other", "orange", "paint", "parcel", "potato", "quick", "quiet", "reading", "record", "snow", "school", "science", "ship", "teacher", "thunder", "trousers", "value", "voice", "waiting", "walking", "woman", "yellow", "zebra"}; // Create a new Scanner Object called scan Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in); // Print out a request and display to the User // & Read In User Input using the Scanner Object System.out.println("Enter a common word: "); scan.nextLine();
Right... now what I am trying to do is..... when the user enters a random common word, the program searches the String Array and prints out either ''matching word'' or ''non matching word''.
So how do i go about getting the program to search the words in the string array.
I think an if statement is used no ?
i.e. if ('word entered by user' = 'one of the values in the string array')
then .....
Something like that ? But im not really sure.
Thanks for your help.

The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) released its first international poll today, the 2013 International Bedroom Poll, comparing sleep times, attitudes, habits and bedtime routines of those in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan between the ages of 25 and 55 years old.
Japan and the United States report the least amount of sleep. Japanese and Americans report sleeping about 30 to 40 minutes less on workdays than those in the other countries surveyed, averaging 6 hours and 22 minutes and 6 hours and 31 minutes of sleep, respectively. Two-thirds of Japanese (66%) say they sleep less than 7 hours on work nights, compared to 53% of Americans, 39% in the United Kingdom, 36% of Germans, 30% of Canadians and 29% of Mexicans. One in five from the United States (21%), Japan (19%) and the United Kingdom (18%) report sleeping less than six hours a night during the work week, about twice the rate of the other countries (11% Mexico, 10% Germany, 7% Canada,)
Perhaps to compensate for less sleep, about one-half (51%) of both Japanese and Americans have taken at least one nap in the past two weeks. Every country reported sleeping in on weekends, with an average of an extra 45 minutes of sleep on days they do not work.
"As the first international public opinion poll on sleep, the National Sleep Foundation 2013 Bedroom Poll makes an important contribution to the field," commented Namni Goel, PhD, Research Associate Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine and a member of the NSF 2013 International Bedroom Poll expert panel. "Although we know that everyone sleeps, the rather remarkable cultural differences within this universal experience have not been adequately explored. It is NSF's hope that this initial poll will inspire more research on this critical yet understudied topic."

Share this page :
Who is she?
Hillevi is a discreet and unusual woman who is surrounded by an aura of mystery, probably due to her seemingly aloof and distant demeanour. Indeed, she is very secretive, enigmatic and possesses impressive self-mastery. She emanates an air of calm which can often be mistaken for detachment or icy indifference, however she is simply an unusual, solitary character who is often misunderstood by those around her. Her inquiring mind can often lead her to analysis, criticism and scepticism while simultaneously pushing her to explore spirituality and the irrational. She is inclined to introspection, which combined with her intuition makes her an excellent judge of character and allows her to assess situations objectively. Her logical, rational mind and her fascination with existential questions lead her to seek fundamental truths and explore the profound, hidden side of reality; indeed she is anything but ordinary. With her acute sensitivity and wary nature, she often chooses to keep herself to herself and she cultivates her individualism. Extremely independent and idealistic, she isn´t particularly bothered about material prosperity and she tends to conceal her sensitivity behind a façade of irony and cynicism. She is actually a highly anxious and nervous individual who lacks confidence in herself and others, oscillating between egoism and solitude on the one hand (especially if she was born in July or on a 7th 16th or 25th of any given month, or if her life Path Number is 7), and altruism and sociability on the other (especially if she was born in September, on a 9th, 18th or 27th, or if her life Path Number is 9). As a child, Hillevi is shy, reticent and unassuming with a tendency to become withdrawn. A decidedly nervous and worrisome little girl, she requires constant reassurance and would benefit enormously from participation in group activities which would allow her to develop her sociability and sense of solidarity. Because she has an inquisitive mind she is inclined to ask a lot of questions and her parents would be advised to remain attentive and approachable whilst encouraging her to communicate.
What does she like?
Hillevi likes anything that is out of the ordinary and hopes one day to be part of a group or community that shares her ideals and convictions. She is a passionate lady who is strongly attracted to the paranormal, the idea of utopia, religion and all that is weird or wonderful. She aspires to truth and unity but can also easily become disillusioned, possibly even deeply cynical or misanthropic. A sentimental soul, she is a true romantic who spends quite a lot of time daydreaming. Reality tends to disappoint her and she may have difficulty reaching certain levels of awareness. A sensitive and modest person, she often feels lonely and misunderstood.

(visited by David Erickson, Grant Hopcraft and Anna, Amy, Cassandra, Paquita)
22-Nov-2003 -- Immediately after bagging 3S 35E, we followed up with a successful trip to 2S 35E, which is located in the middle of Serengeti National Park.
We left Seronera about mid-day and headed north planning to hit the Confluence and then keep going to our intended camping spot. Grant had checked over the maps for the area and suggested that we follow the main road through the Park, north to the junction of the Migration Camp road where we would turn west. Grant surmised that we could get within about 10-12 km from the point along this road before we had to cut cross country.
We headed out along Migration Camp road for a couple of kilometers until we reached a crest of a hill where we could look out over the intermediate terrain and decided it was as good as any point to bail off into the bush. We had about 10 kilometers to go but the terrain was nice rolling hills with mixed Acacia bush and grassland.
About 5 km from the Confluence we came across 4 cheetah (a mother and 3 sub-adult cubs) resting under the shade of a tree. We counted ourselves very lucky as woodland cheetah are not often seen!
We continued to work our way to the Confluence without too much trouble but, once we got within 2 kilometers the woods started to get a bit thick and we had to circle around a few times and verify where we were going with our back-up GPS's. In the end we made it with very little fuss. In the end we were able to get within 5 meters with an accuracy of 8 meters on the GPS.
The point is in Acacia bushland and there were plenty of wildebeest and zebra around to add some "local color". We snapped the requisite pictures, including some more risqué photos than what is usually seen at a Confluence! After our celebratory beer we headed off on a roughly reciprocal course to the road but our adventure was not over yet!
About 2 km from the point we got a flat on one of our vehicles and the spare was not in great shape either, so we decided to take it a bit easy as we only had 2 spares on the other vehicle and we did not want to risk things. So as we carried on for a couple of more kilometers until we came across a wildebeest which had had its back-left leg caught in a poacher's wire snare!
We stopped for a quick planning session and got ourselves ready with gloves, leatherman tools, and a big tarp. We drove up as close as we could in both vehicles and Grant threw the tarp over his head and we all piled on as Grant pulled the beast to the ground. Anna then went to work on cutting the snare from the tree and then pulling the wire out from the hock of the beast's leg. We all then jumped clear to let the poor fellow up to see how he would do. It seemed like he might have pulled his own leg out of joint or at least stretched thing so much that he was not able to make any use of his leg immediately. We watched him for a bit, collected a few snares from some other trees, and headed on our way for a nice night under the stars up at Lobo campground, happy for a fun day of confluence adventure!

A&M prof's mom was close enough to feel warmth of meteorite
Texans who might worry about the prospect of getting hit by a falling meteorite probably take some comfort in knowing the planet's most recent brush with a huge chunk of space matter took place half a world away in south central Russia.
But for Texas A&M physics professor Igor V. Roshchin, Friday morning's meteorite appearance was close to home - his boyhood home of Chelyabinsk, where his mother still lives.
Roshchin said he got an email about 1 a.m. Friday from his mother, Aida I. Roshchina, a retired mathematics professor who taught at South Ural State University in Chelyabinsk for more than 35 years. The two later talked via Skype.
A flash and a boom
She was not injured but saw the flash and heard the boom that happened about 9:20 a.m. Chelyabinsk time, her son said.
"The first account I got from her she wrote that she first saw a fire streak," said Roshchin, an assistant professor in the department of physics and astronomy. "Then there was a blinding flash with an explosion. The way she described it, it was a really strong level of blinding."
More Information
After that, she felt a shock wave that felt warm to her, Roshchin said.
"I should point out it's winter, with the temperature definitely below freezing," he said. "They were talking about a high of 20 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 7 degrees."
Windows knocked out
His mother's home was not damaged, but Roshchin said thousands of buildings in the city of about 1.2 million had windows blown out, creating a hardship in the cold conditions.
A few minutes after the shock wave, Roshchina heard more explosions, which could have been pieces of the meteorite hitting a zinc factory, her son said.
"So far, the working hypothesis is that it exploded in the air before it landed, and that's what created the blinding flash," he said.
Roshchin, who has been at A&M for 4½ years, said his aunt and uncle also live in Chelyabinsk and also escaped physical harm and property damage.

A shocking report: Inside the Ron Paul conspiracy
Maybe you've heard rumors about an explosive newspaper expose on a major political figure that would rock the political world just as the presidential voting is about to begin.
We haven't either.
But we do know that today is when this newspaper blows the top off of the Ron Paul Conspiracy, that vast unorganized protest movement that has silently become one of the more interesting political phenomena of the current election season.
A Times reporter -- we'll call him James Rainey to protect his identity -- has managed to penetrate the Paul presidium.
In his story he recounts for the very first time the shockingly ordinary details of a movement of thousands of disparate, dissatisfied people, some of whom want an end to the Iraq war, an end to gun controls and the IRS, an end to laws banning marijuana and a return to the gold standard, whatever that means.
These Paulites believe the government has been hijacked by a bevy of big interests that threaten the freedoms of ordinary Americans. They're not going to take it anymore. Locally, they're even organizing a re-enactment of a brazenly defiant act, the BostonTea Party, except it'll be in Santa Monica and won't involve tea or white people dressed as Indians. And the protestors promise not to leave anything foreign floating in the water.
These committed partisans, bonded by their suspicion of authority and venal influences like the mainstream media that ignored them until they did something, have united behind a 72-year-old...
Air Force vet and ob-gyn from Texas who has managed to win 10 elections to the House of Representatives as a Republican with two first names and strongly libertarian leanings.
This man believes that U.S. sovereignity is threatened by many things, especially including consistently ignoring the Constitution and by a planned mystery superhighway that would unite with a ribbon of inexorable cement all three North American countries--Mexico, the United States and that other larger one on top that can only afford to have three downs in its football games.
Apparently he's not talking about I-15, which already does that.
"Rainey's" account describes how this man's followers appear to be ordinary citizens with jobs and family by day. But at night they gather openly in chat rooms and living rooms to plot how to promote a tiny unassuming man whom they call reverently Dr. Paul. With little central direction but tons of commitment, idealism and passion, Dr. Paul's followers do everything they can think of to mobilize voter support.
They patrol the internet day and night seeking Paul slights to right. They stand on windy interstate bridges holding inflammatory signs saying: RonPaul2008.com.
Even as you sleep at night some of the 1,200 Paul meet-up groups are handwriting letters to all 700,000 independent Iowa voters urging them to consider their long-shot leader. A couple of weeks ago Paulites raised $4.2 million on the internet in one day, a near-record, and a sum they intend to more than double on Dec. 16, the anniversary of that rebellious tea party. How's that for insignificance?
As one result, the ultra-lean Paul organization has been able to buy advertising in New Hampshire and to pump its poll numbers up near double-digits in some places. Rainey's story describes the commitment of one Ron Paul meet-up group in Southern California and the regular folks who drive it with their political beliefs and energies.
Few professionals -- well, to tell the truth, no one -- actually gives Paul any chance of winning the Republican nomination. But then up until Yorktown back in the 1700s, all the smart Vegas money was on the British.
