Washington Irving
Washington Irving [pseudonym Geoffrey Crayon] (1783-1859), American essayist, historian, and author wrote "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow";
They are given to all kinds of marvellous beliefs, are subject to trances and visions, and frequently see strange sights, and hear music and voices in the air. The whole neighborhood abounds with local tales, haunted spots, and twilight superstitions; stars shoot and meteors glare oftener across the valley than in any other part of the country, and the nightmare, with her whole ninefold, seems to make it the favorite scene of her gambols.
One of the first noted American authors to be highly acclaimed in Europe during his life time, Irving was a prolific author of fiction and non-. He wrote numerous short stories, biographies, histories, and tales of his travels. His characters Ichabod Crane and Rip van Winkle are now icons of popular American culture, and many of Irving's works have inspired adaptations to the stage and film.
Named in honour of American President George Washington, under whom the United States gained independence during the American Revolution, Washington Irving was born on 3 April 1783 in New York. He was the eleventh child born to emigrants Sarah Sanders and William Irving, deacon and successful merchant. The Irving's were kind, charitable people and often tended to those left less fortunate after the war. Washington, while born sickly, was a mischievous and adventuresome young man, sneaking out at night to attend plays and frustrating his pious parents, especially his father. He roamed the city and environs, dreaming of far-off places--dreams that were partly fueled by one of his favourite books, Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. Travelling would become a life-long passion. Although he was not an avid student, he studied law and became a clerk in Josiah Ogden Hoffman's law office. The Hoffmans would become great friends to Irving.
Suffering from ill-health off and on for many years, in 1804 Irving set sail from New York Harbour, the first of many trips abroad: he was going to a spa in Bordeaux, France to treat a lung ailment. He learned French and, always gregarious, made many friends who were charmed by his easy-going ways. For the next two years he travelled through many countries in Europe including France, the Netherlands, Spain, Scotland, Wales, and England. Ever the flâneur, he basked in the hospitality of sophisticated European society and indulged his love of art, theatre, and opera. But his Grand Tour was to come to an end when, in 1806 and restored health, he returned to America and was called to the bar.
Irving's social life continued to dominate his days. He was not interested in practicing law, preferring the companionship of his male friends and the flirtatious affections of ladies. In a foreshadowing of great things to come, he collaborated with his brother William and James Kirke Paulding in creating a semi-monthly periodical to compete with the more sombre news publications of the day. While it was short-lived The Salmagundi Papers; or, the Whim-Whams and Opinions of Laucelot Langstaff, Esq. And Others. (1809) was met with great success. The Jonathan Swift-like satire and tongue-in-cheek pokes at politics, culture, and society was "to instruct the young, reform the old, correct the town, and castigate the age." In a similar vein Irving composed his first novel, Knickerbocker's History of New York (1809). A burlesque and comprehensive weaving of fact and fiction, his "History of New-York from the Beginning of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty" is narrated by Diedrich Knickerbocker and won Irving much acclaim at home and abroad.
During the War of 1812, Irving was beset with ennui. Initially he had begrudgingly enlisted but his patriotism flared with the burning of the capitol; he also served as governors' aid and military secretary for a time. In 1815 he left America for England to visit his brother but remained for the next seventeen years, again travelling to various countries in Europe. While in England, an unsuccessful business venture with his brothers caused him to turn to his pen in hopes of providing some income. Irving's short stories, first printed in America under his pseudonym Geoffrey Crayon between the years 1819-20 were collected in The Crayon Papers and The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon. They contain two of Irvings' most famous tales: "Rip van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". These stories were wildly popular in America and soon too in Europe where Irving, or, Geoffrey Crayon, was welcomed by noted society and literary figures including actors, writers, artists, Dukes, and Lords, Kings and Queens. Positive reviews were published and Charles Dickens, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord George Gordon Byron, and his friend Sir Walter Scott lauded his humorous and witty style.
Irving's health failed again and for many months he was unable to walk, but it did not stop him from continuing to write. His next novel was Bracebridge Hall, or, The Humorists, A Medley (1822). It was followed by Tales of a Traveller (1824), which Irving considered one of his finer works. In 1826 Irving moved to Madrid, Spain, where he set to writing his highly lauded The Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus (1828), Chronicle of the Conquest of Granada (1829), and Tales of the Alhambra (1832).
In 1832 Irving returned to America, greeted by his overwhelmingly adoring readership. With the intent of creating a secluded retreat for writing, he bought a farm on the banks of the Hudson River at Tarrytown in New York State. The little Dutch cottage and the picturesque views was soon transformed into the now famous residence "Sunnyside". Irving the bachelor was surrounded by loving friends and relatives, and apart from his sojourn as Minister to Spain in 1842-48, his days of living abroad were over.
Abbotsford and Newstead Abbey (1835) was followed by Astoria: Anecdotes of an enterprise beyond the Rocky Mountains (1836). "....I have felt anxious to get at the details of their adventurous expeditions among the savage tribes that peopled the depths of the wilderness." It explores Irving's impressions from travels in Canada and America as guest of John Jacob Astor's Northwest Fur Company. Irving expresses his sympathy to the displaced, and dispossessed 'savage' Native American Peoples in such stories as "Philip of Pokanoket", "Traits of Indian Character", and "Origin of the White, the Red, and the Black Men". The Adventures of Captain Bonneville (1837) was followed by Irving's biographical works Oliver Goldsmith: A Biography (1850) and Lives of Mahomet and his Successors (1850). Wolfert's Roost and Miscellanies (1855) includes short stories first published in Knickerbocker Magazine. Irving's last finished work, something he had been working on for many years but kept putting aside for other more pressing projects is his Life of George Washington (1859). Washington Irving died on 28 November 1859 and now rests in the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery overlooking the Old Dutch Church in Tarrytown, New York.
Panting and fatigued, he threw himself, late in the afternoon, on a green knoll, covered with mountain herbage, that crowned the brow of a precipice. From an opening between the trees he could overlook all the lower country for many a mile of rich woodland. He saw at a distance the lordly Hudson, far, far below him, moving on its silent but majestic course, with the reflection of a purple cloud, or the sail of a lagging bark, here and there sleeping on its glassy bosom, and at last losing itself in the blue highlands.--from "Rip van Winkle"

Random Thoughts on Washington Irving
Over the weekend, as a Halloween or Autumn gift or maybe because she was just being her own sweet self, one of my daughters gave me a new copy of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle." As a writer, Washington Irving (1783-1859) was enormously popular in his own lifetime, a literary superstar of the day. His influence on American culture has been under-rated. For instance, the American customs surrounding the celebration of Christmas can be attributed as much to Irving's description of the holiday spent abroad in an English household as to our appreciation and nostalgia for the Victorian customs described in Dickens. Irving made great contributions to the American language. Few if any of the fans of the New York Knicks NBA team realize that the term "Knickerbocker" came from one of Washington Irving's pseudonyms. Washington Irving is a favorite in my neck o' the woods. Though born in New York City, there are sites and various tourists attractions ("traps") in the Hudson River Valley capitalizing on Washington Irving's fame There really is a geographic place called "Sleepy Hollow," near Tarrytown, just north of New York City. There are other places in this corridor. He had a home near Kinderhook, NY, also the birthplace of one -- though clearly not the best --of the American Presidents, Martin van Buren. There are at least two schools that I know of around here named in honor of Washington Irving. Since the publication of "Legend of Sleepy Hollow," the name "Ichabod" has been associated with a cowardly, perhaps ineffectual teacher, a "pedagogue." But apparently did not stop a nearby school district from adopting the name Ichabod Crane. A minor character in that story, "Katrina" has now, so sadly, a name that will forever be associated with abject tragedy, the horrible Gulf Coast hurricane of 2005. The 1999 movie "Sleepy Hollow" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0162661/ bears little correlation with the original story, save for the main character's name (played by Johnny Depp) and the general geographical setting. I'm not a great horror movie fan, but the movie isn't all that bad. It's not Washington Irving's original story, though. Joyce Carol Oates-- who the last I heard teaches at McGill Univ. in Canada-- has written numerous, I mean plenty of novels, but I prefer her critical writing to her novels. I bring up Joyce because she once edited an anthology of the greatest American short stories and included "Rip Van Winkle" among them. She writes of Irving's characters: ". . .so deeply imprinted have they become in the popular imagination, they strike us as mythopoetic figures -- timeless, archetypal, transcending the circumstances of their own creation." Amen to that. Aunt Shecky

ACLU: Philly police stop-and-frisk problems persist
Two years after the settlement of a contentious lawsuit over the Philadelphia Police Department's use of stop-and-frisk practices, officers are still disproportionately targeting minorities and conducting stops without reasonable suspicion, according to an ACLU report released today.
The ACLU found that though the overall number of pedestrian stops decreased in 2012, nearly half of the stops made in the first six months of the year were conducted without reasonable suspicion and the vast majority of their targets were minorities.
Those figures aren't much different than data released three years despite a consent decree requiring the department to monitor, retrain and, if necessary, discipline officers.
"The problem is whatever training and supervision that has been done has not yet been effective in our view," said ACLU attorney David Rudovsky.
He said the shift in stop-and-frisk practices is "a big culture change" for the police department. "At this point, they need to not just re-train," he said. "Officers making bad stops on a regular basis have to be held accountable."
The report also points to the low "hit rates" of Philadelphia police stop and frisks that seem to indicate the practice may not be extremely effective. Stop-and-frisks rarely led to the recovery of contraband or firearms, according to the report.
Though officers indicated the suspect possessed a weapon in 112 stops made during the first half of last year, only three of those stops actually resulted in a weapon being recovered.
Can numbers lie?
Perhaps most troubling are allegations that police inspectors' audits of stop-and-frisk data don't match up with those independently generated by the ACLU.
"The process is we both look at the same random selection of stops," Rudovsky said. "They look at them and we look at them and there is that discrepancy — they're finding a much lower rate of improper stops."
He said ACLU attorneys who audit the stops accept at face value the rationale officers write on the forms.
"In close cases, we give the benefit of doubt to police, so when we say something was a bad stop or bad frisk it's because what they've written on the form is not sufficient with the consent agreement with the city and what the court ruled under the Fourth Amendment."
A review of inspector audits from each police division shows that up to 4 percent of pedestrian stops conducted during the first two quarters of 2012 were deemed to have been done so without reasonable suspicion — a stark difference from ACLU estimates putting that proportion between 43 and 47 percent.
"I think what the city should be looking at is they have inspectors that are reviewing these — first of all, we think the inspectors' standards have to be reviewed to make sure they're doing it right," Rudovsky said.
"Internally, they ought to be seeing what we're seeing — a significant number of bad stops. I think this goes back to holding accountable the officers who are making the stops and the sergeants reviewing them within the district.
"I think with a department like the police department, if the higher-ups were held accountable as well, the message would get down to officers on the street."
The ACLU plans to request court intervention to address the disparities if the numbers don't improve.
Blacks, whites and green
The ACLU report also analyzed citywide marijuana possession arrests between September and November of 2012.
It found black people accounted for 84.4 percent of the arrests even though they constitute 43.4 percent of Philadelphia's population.
White people, who make up 36.9 percent of the city's population, accounted for only 5.8 percent of pot possession arrests.
"To find nearly 90 percent of the arrests were minorities when all the self reporting studies show whites probably use marijuana more than minorities, that's troubling," Rudovsky said. "Whether that's a matter of police deployment or police tactics, it's something I think the city has to look at."
Two sides
Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 5 president John McNesby said he doesn't put much weight in the report because it was prepared by longtime opponents of stop-and-frisk.
"Our officers are highly trained," he said. "They go through the academy for eight months. They know what to do when it comes to stop-and-frisk.
"We're not hearing any grumblings from the community," he said. "There's been no spike in Internal Affairs complaints – I think our officers are doing a great job."
He said every police department practices stop-and-frisk, even if they don't label it as such. "Officers are out there to do their jobs, suppress crime and come home safely at night," he said.
"The ACLU conducted the audit. They can lead to whatever result they want, which is to eventually do away with [stop-and-frisk]."
By the numbers
- Philadelphia police made 215,000 pedestrian stops in 2012.
- That's a nearly 15% decrease from 2009, when there were 253,000 pedestrian stops.
- Between 43% and 47% of pedestrian stops in the first half of 2012 were made without reasonable suspicion.
- According to audits from police inspectors, reasonable suspicion was only lacking in 0% to 4% of pedestrian stops made in each division during the first two quarters of 2012.
- 76% of the pedestrians stopped in the first half of 2012 were minorities.
- 1.57% of pedestrian stops in the first two quarters of 2012 resulted in the recovery of contraband.
- 0.16% of those stops resulted in the recovery of guns, for a grand total of 3 firearms recovered.
- 5.29% of pedestrian stops during the first two quarters of 2012 resulted in arrests.

Daily Links: Back to Work Edition
Published on - August 10th, 2008 (by J.D. Roth)
Thanks, everyone, for your patience over the past week. I'm pleased to report that my mother is doing well. She'll remain in the hospital for another week at least, but she'll be home soon enough. We're no longer tense and worried — just a little anxious.
Part of our new-found optimism is because mom's insurance is awesome. As I was researching expected costs last week, one hospital employee told me, "Your mother's insurance is great. I wish I had insurance like this." That probably means she's been paying a heck of a lot out-of-pocket the past decade, but now the three-week hospital stay is only going to cost her a couple thousand dollars. Right now, that's a relief.
I'll return to full-time blogging on Monday. Meanwhile, here are some interesting links I've picked up from around the web:
About a month ago, Mrs. Micah issued a single-step personal-finance challenge. "Find one step you can take to make your financially system better or more organized," she urged her readers. Just find one step — big or small — that you can take toward your goals. I like this idea. I'm going to open a high-yield online savings account for my business. In a terrible irony, GRS money currently earns 0% because I haven't opened a business savings account. I'll change that this week.
Also last month, USA Today ran a piece that declared as food prices soar, it's back to basics for meal planners. The article describes what average people are doing to stretch their food dollar. There's also a sidebar with eight great ways to save money at the grocery store.
Liz Pulliam Weston recently asked, "When should you spend to save?" Weston looks at the pros and cons of:
- Retail membership clubs
- Extended warranties
- Warehouse clubs
- Roadside assistance
- and more…
Finally, No Credit Needed just shared a monthly checklist to speed debt reduction and increase savings. Though I'm skeptical that NCN does each of these every month, there are some good ideas here. I especially like the advice to make a sweep of your home to look for things to sell. Selling your unused Stuff is one of the easiest and quickest ways to generate quick cash for debt reduction (or saving).
This article is about Spare Change
I am anxious to hear which business savings account you open. I have had that on my to-do list as well, but have been hesitant to commit to one. Could you also share the transfer time info for the funds. In addition to the interest rate, I have been looking at being able to transfer money into our business checking account quicker than 3 business days which is what I have found to be the most common time so far.
I'm glad to hear that all is going well with your mother. That's good news.
I'm glad your mom is recovering and that she won't have a huge financial burden. Can't wait to see your posts next week.
Glad to hear the news about your mom! And thanks for playing along too. Glad to hear your money is earning more than 0%! Mine was doing that for an embarrassingly long time.
Glad to hear about your mom!
Hey, glad to hear that your mom is doing well…
And, YES, I do these things every month! Why, what kind of personal finance blogger would I be if I just made up stuff and wrote about it?!?
Seriously though, thanks for the link and I'm sure that you'll be happy to get back to "normal"…
Rock on,
Hope your mom can leave the hospital soon.
"Only" a couple of thousand dollars, huh? I guess I'm spoiled by the German health care system, where co-pay for a hospital stay is like $25 per day…
glad your mom is cool JD.. keep it movin'
Sincerely glad for your mum!
Get Well… Quickly.
So glad to hear your mom is doing better! Continued best wishes for a speedy recovery!
On the saving money on food tidbit and after reading your post about the diminishing sizes of your favorite yogurt, I decided it was time to take the plunge and try to make my own yogurt WITHOUT having to buy a yogurt maker. WOW! An easy process and depending on what kind of milk you buy, a HUGE savings! I've saved at between 1.00 and 1.70 per QUART (depending on brand of yogurt…Dannon or Stoneyfield) and will be trying a store brand milk (3.39 a gallon or .85 cents PER QUART of yogurt.)
Google "homemade yogurt" for easy tips and tons of recipes. You need milk, dry powdered milk, yogurt starter (plain store bought yogurt–just 2-3 tablespoons with live cultures OR dry powdered mix), a 4 cup measuring cup, candy thermometer, some towels and heating pad and something to put the yogurt in–I use a quart jar. Also, a draft free, warm (105-110 degree) environment in which to incubate the yogurt.
You'll never buy ready made yogurt again–unless you need some new starter!
Whoa! What insurance does she have?
This very day Our Beloved Employer, who has canceled its best plan and the only one that covers my doctors, is going to tell the assembled peons what choices we will have this year.
Does she get her coverage through an employer, or is it Medicare supplemental coverage? If the latter, who's issuing it?
Glad your mom is feeling better. Hope she springs back to full health soon.
That's great news about your mom! I'm so glad to hear she's doing well
On a PF front…please please please keep all statements and EOBS from her insurance. If the insurance is great or not, it still must be worked correctly to avoid costly financial mistakes.
I suggest keeping a log and record all providers and services she receives and what date it occurs. The facility bills as well as each specialty involved…and even lab, radiology, etc can have physician bills. Even if you don't receive a bill or statement – it doesnt mean a claim hasnt been sent to the insurance and possibly not paid. ("Denial" doesnt always mean a real denial. It may simply be a request for more info).
I assume your mother is Medicare age? Even if she is entitled to it due to age, she still must complete the paperwork. If she does have Medicare, please inform all providers of the correct coordination of benefits regarding. If Medicare is billed incorrectly, even as an honest mistake, it is considered fraud.
Sorry to lump a bunch of information at you. I lecture about this all the time because I see the havoc that can occur in a person's financial life and credit report when it comes to medical billing. And, with medical billing, it doesnt matter if it is the provider's fault or the payer's fault – the individual still suffers.
Take care.
Good to hear good news about your mom! I continue to wish you well.
My single step that I've decided to take is to always be aware of all my accounts, so I signed up for mint.com. I'm a big fan so far. I have a budget spreadsheet for each paycheck but its nice to see checks clearing and deposits made all on one page, no need to log onto 5 different sites. I hope the site continues to grow…
Glad to hear the good news on your mother regarding both her health and the insurance proving to be good. I had an unexpected 32-hour stay in the hospital week before last for chest pains. After being given morphine and tested extensively (chest CAT scan, nuclear stress test, etc.), everything checked out okay and I was released. Their thinking was a possible GI issue, but I have pretty much come to the conclusion it is a pulled muscle and muscle spasms (I had lifted our canoe up to my chest level right before the first pains started and lifted it again the next day). Since I have done this before many times, it did not seem like a likely cause at first. Each day the pain has lessened, so we went ahead with a planned vacation and returned this past Saturday. The hospital bill was already in our mail and it alone was $16K. (That does not include doctor's services.) So, just imagine my reaction when I got a letter today saying that the hospital stay would not be covered because the justifications for in-patient care were not sufficient. After several calls to the insurance company and finally getting a supervisor, I feel fairly certain that it's a matter of the hospital not providing enough information (just like FranticWoman said). So I will be on the phone with them tomorrow to get the denial appealed and resolved soon. I think my heart rate in response to this situation was more accelerated than for the stress test given at the hospital and I know I felt sicker than I did there.
I am glad it's working out for you NOT to be away so long. I enjoy the guest posts, but your voice is unique and I look forward to your posts.
Eating simply food wise is such good common sense. It is pretty much the M.O. for me being gluten free. Much healthier and less expensive than buying tons of prepared and nutritionally deficient "gluten-free" foods.
I have yet to sell anything on eBay. It makes sense, but i don't have an eBay system in place and I seem to reap more returns by giving to charity. I just think goodness and wealth come back to you when you give away things other can use. I suppose if I were in desperate need, I would consider selling on eBay.
I will have to think about the one thing I can do …
Good call Shirley – getting right on that "denial". I have experience with denied inpatient care – and I can tell you denial letters stating it didnt meet criteria (or wasnt approved) doesnt always mean how it sounds. It's hard informing the general public how this works. I wish more patients were like you! (actually, it is hard for many many professionals to understand it in the hc field n/m pts!)
Just keep on it. Make sure you understand the details of the denial and make sure the hospital follows up. THen make sure your insurance admits to receiving the info then processing it. THen make sure they pay it. Then make sure the hospital posts it to your acct properly…sounds like fun, huh?

I say sadly as I was limited in my placement due to not being able to have the roof coloring reflected by a global light, so I had to ensure every building drawn followed a set pattern for drawing as that would then determine where the 'Darker' Roof coloring would be located.

Great Heater for the deer blind,
If you are looking to heat a two or three car garage, this is not the unit. This Buddy heater is adequate for a single car garage or small cabin. For larger spaces, I¿d recommend the economical single burner Buddy Tank-Top unit which produces higher BTUs. This Buddy wall mount heater however is a very nice unit, easy to set-up, light, and maintain.

By IndiaTimes | November 24, 2012, 6:00 am IST Asia
A Kashmiri Shiite Muslim reacts after performing an act of self-flagellation with a sharp knife during a religious procession held on the seventh day of Ashura in Srinagar on November 22, 2012, as devotees remember the slaying of the Prophet Mohammed's grandson in southern Iraq in the seventh century. During the Shiite Muslim holy month of Muharram, large processions are formed and the devotees parade the streets holding banners and carrying models of the mausoleum of Hazrat Imam Hussain and his people, who fell at Karbala. Shias show their grief and sorrow by inflicting wounds on their own bodies with sharp metal tied to chains to depict the sufferings of the martyrs.

Take Me To Church || Hozier
Thanks KCRW for the new music find. Been listening to this one for a few weeks now.
What lyrics!
My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner
If the Heavens ever did speak
She is the last true mouthpiece
My church offers no absolution
She tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
To drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean
Amen. Amen. Amen
On repeat.

KCRW played this song this morning on Morning Becomes Eclectic. (Which, first of all, that is awesome. Best radio station ever, hence why I listen from my iPhone in Chicago). Anyway, I was at work not feeling particularly ecstatic, and this was such a fun change of mood! I'd forgotten about this song until this morning. Consider it unforgotten.

Families are on edge after a secret video camera was discovered at a busy campground.
It was found inside a Hammonasset State Park bathroom over the weekend. Police said it was a device that could easily be found online.
"We check now, you check everywhere before, on top," said Antonio Rivera of New Britain.
The story caused a buzz around the grounds since the story broke.
"We felt violated," Rivera said. "Especially my wife. She comes in here."
Police said the lens was nearly impossible to spot. It was the size of a pinhole and disguised as a towel hook. It was also mounted on the back of the bathroom door in direct line with the shower stall.
"It's very alarming, especially in such a nice area with so many families," said Gretchen Magrane from Georgia.
The father who noticed the camera spoke exclusively to Eyewitness News.
"I was like 'whoa!'" said Pedro Cortes of Uncasville. "I can't believe this is happening to me."
Cortes said he was floored when he found the device.
"You'd never know it was a camera," he said. "And I looked through the hole and saw the camera lens on it."
Cortes said he tracked down police as they were making their way through the campground.
Police said they removed the camera and checked the other 15 bathrooms throughout the grounds. That search turned up empty.
"I've been on over 25 years and this is the first incident I can recall of any type of illegal video, monitoring or surveillance in one of our state parks," said Col. Kyle Overturf, with the Environmental Conservation Police.
Park rangers posted a picture of the camera and warned campers to be on the lookout.
Many campers said they had questions after learning what happened.
"It's a closed campground," said Jason Magrane from New York. "You have to have a tag on your car to get in. I don't know if it would be a camper traveling with that kind of stuff, because mostly it's families here. So that's kind of scary."
Police said the camera used motion detection to start recording. It could hold up to two hours of video. All users had to do to find one was to search online for "coat hanger hidden camera." Some models were as cheap as $15.
There was no surveillance at the park, so ENCON police said they were looking at the camera itself to see if it caught an image of the suspect. They were also cross-checking the list of campers and registered guests from this weekend with law enforcement agencies that have had similar incidents.
"I hope they catch the person that did this because it's wrong," said Rivera. "We come here to have fun, enjoy ourselves and then to have this happen. That's wrong."
Anyone with information about the camera was asked to call the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection's ENCON Police or state police in Westbrook.

Why so much surprise? A 2008 study, "Hazing in View: College Students at Risk," noted that "stereotypes often shape perceptions of hazing as only a problem for athletes and Greek-letter organizations." The truth's more inclusive. Hazing infects every group from varsity sports teams to honor societies.
That's why Gov. Rick Scott was right to ask the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to investigate Champion's death. And it's also why college officials throughout Florida would be wise to view Champion's death as call to remove the blinders and rid their campuses of hazing once and for all.
The 2008 study found 55 percent of students who join college clubs, teams and organizations endure hazing. Popular initiations involve drinking games, humiliation, isolation, sleep-deprivation, and sex acts. Virtually all hazing victims stay mum, and "hazing behaviors are often dismissed as simply harmless antics and pranks," the study notes, possibly explaining why it's firmly entrenched in organizations like FAMU's band.
Fired FAMU band director Julian White says he was a scapegoat, insisting he had a longtime no-tolerance policy for hazing and labored to end it. He failed. So did the university.
On Thursday, Scott implored State University Chancellor Frank Brogan to urge all university presidents to review their current policies on hazing. That's fine, but anti-hazing measures must go beyond furrowed brows and tough words.
Prevention efforts require a deep commitment to anti-hazing education and, maybe more important, memorable penalties for hazers and the groups they represent. We suspect a one-year suspension of the FAMU band would get the musicians' attention more than a student government rally that's planned for Monday.
To its credit, Florida's one of the few states that considers hazing a felony. However, locking up offenders after the fact is cold comfort for families like the Champions, who may have lost a child to tradition that just won't end.

BAY SPRINGS, Miss. (AP) — Authorities say about 40 gallons of oil leaked from a broken pipeline in Jasper County into a creek east of Bay Springs on Tuesday before being stopped.
The pipeline, owned by Houston, Texas-based Plains All-American Pipeline LP, began leaking sometime before 3 p.m. Tuesday, when it was discovered. It connects to one of the many oil fields around Jasper County.
County officials along with the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality installed containment booms to stop oil from flowing farther downstream.
Jasper County Emergency Management Director Mike Lucas tells The Clarion-Ledger (http://on.thec-l.com/14DL7EP ) that Plains cut off the pipeline to prevent more oil getting out.
Lucas says officials will start the cleanup process and assess the environmental impact. Lucas says Plains will investigate how the leak occurred.

Editor, Charity Finance
Andrew has been a leading figure in civil society for 25 years.
He was the first chief executive of the Charity Commission from 2004 until September 2010, and is widely credited with ensuring the sector has a regulator that is fit for purpose.
He became guest-editor of Charity Finance for the February and March 2011 editions before taking up the role on a permanent basis. In early 2011 he also took up a part-time role as Visiting Professor of Charity Governance and Finance at Cass Business School.
He was awarded the prestigious Companion of the Order of the Bath in the New Year's Honours List 2011.
Andrew's other current roles include serving as a non-executive board member of the Council for Healthcare Regulatory Excellence, and he is also a non-executive member of the board advising the Information Commissioner. He is a member of the NCVO Advisory Council which meets four times a year.
Andrew became a trustee of the Baring Foundation in October 2010. He also sits on Lord Hodgson's taskforce making recommendations to government about cutting red-tape in the voluntary sector.
Andrew has extensive experience of working with the charity sector. He was a senior executive with ActionAid (1986-1991) and Barnardo's (1992-1995) before moving to the BBC in 1995, where he was chief operating officer of BBC World Service.
Hind was co-founder in 1988 of the Charity Finance Directors' Group (CFDG), and its chair from 1992-1994. He is the author of The Governance and Management of Charities, and was chair of the Charity Awards judging panel in 2011, having also served as a judge in the early years of the Awards. He received the Outstanding Achievement Award for longstanding commitment and service to the voluntary sector at the Charity Awards 2008.

The issue of trustee payment continues to divide the sector. Amy Gordon sets out the legal position, David Gold argues in favour and Andrew Hind argues against.
A trusted chief executive is let-off from appropriate scrutiny by his trustees, but one wants this to change...
Tania Mason looks back over the six years of Andrew Hind's leadership of the Charity Commission, and charts the actions that created a regulator fit for the 21st Century
There's never a good time for a charity to experience something seriously bad happening, but the current climate makes the timing even worse. Andrew Hind explains.
The widely held view that charities should stick to doing good works and stay clear of campaigning is a recipe for social stagnation. The world has changed, charities need to change with it and speak truth to power about what it takes to solve root causes of societal ills rather than pussyfoot around problems.

Fitness is an element of style. Be active. That's Estilo!
Thanks for the compliment!
If your receding hair line is hereditary, you may have to accept it. If not, I would recommend that you receive scalp massages often to stimulate circulation to that region. Also, research herbs that promote healthy blood circulation. Lastly, I would recommend consulting with your local health food store for advice. Good Luck!
1. Plan plan plan. Decide your meals for the week and shop accordingly.
2. Get the best price. Check local newspapers, online and read your coupons attached to your receipts.
4. Buy in bulk. It's always less expensive to buy food in bulk.
5. Buy in season. Farmers and growers charge less when fruits and veggies are in season.

Making the contrast dress
One of the things that I wanted to make this year was a dress that can look like separates - one that has a contrast to the bodice and skirt. I've seen many lovely ones including Mena's statement necklace dress and what I wore's ray of light dress.
I cut the bodice from a Liberty Tana Lawn, which I bought in Edinburgh (Crafters' Ceilidh). The print design is very busy, so I thought a block of colour for the skirt would be a good contrast. I found a cotton that perfectly matched the lovely teal colour that can be found in the print design.
The pattern is a contemporary one - Simplicity 2444 from the Project Runway series, but the shape of the neckline and full skirt has a retro nod to 1950s/early 1960s shapes. The diagonal pleating detail in the skirt is really lovely - 'architectural' almost, and the plain colour fabric really sets it off well. The skirt is my favourite part of this dress.
I always have to redraw the waistline when I make dresses - as there is a one size difference between my bodice and skirt size. I'm learning slowly what I need to do to try and resolve fitting issues with bodices. I moved the point of both sets of front darts one inch higher.
There are still some improvements I can make to the front bodice pattern to make it fit better, as I'd like to use this pattern again to make other variations of this dress. I found some good instructions on how to eliminate darts, so I might remove the outer darts as I don't think I need the extra shaping. I think also I could also redraw the centre front line about 1cm in at the neckline to eliminate a little excess fabric there.
This is the first garment made on my new Singer sewing machine - which is lovely.
Spring will be here soon, and I'm really looking forward to wearing this dress.

Lissiea Davidson pleaded guilty to dishonestly obtaining housing benefit, council tax benefit, jobseekers allowance, income support and employment and support allowance.
The 47-year-old, of Haldane Road, Blackbird Leys, admitted making false statements and failing to declare a change of circumstances, which affected her entitlement to the benefits from Oxford City Council and the Department for Work and Pensions.
The offences took place between April 2009 and December 2012, a period when she was living with her partner and hosting foreign students.
She was sentenced at Oxford Magistrates Court on Monday this week, where she was told to repay the money.

Improve the health, function, and quality of life of older adults.
Older adults are among the fastest growing age groups, and the first "baby boomers" (adults born between 1946 and 1964) will turn 65 in 2011. More than 37 million people in this group (60 percent) will manage more than 1 chronic condition by 2030.1
Older adults are at high risk for developing chronic illnesses and related disabilities. These chronic conditions include:
Many experience hospitalizations, nursing home admissions, and low-quality care. They also may lose the ability to live independently at home. Chronic conditions are the leading cause of death among older adults.2
Falls are the leading cause of death due to unintentional injury among older adults; deaths and injuries can be prevented by addressing risk factors.
Back to Top
The Healthy People 2020 objectives on older adults are designed to promote healthy outcomes for this population. Many factors affect the health, function, and quality of life of older adults.
Behaviors such as participation in physical activity, self-management of chronic diseases, or use of preventive health services can improve health outcomes.
Housing and transportation services affect the ability of older adults to access care. People from minority populations tend to be in poorer health and use health care less often than people from nonminority populations.11
The quality of the health and social services available to older adults and their caregivers affects their ability to manage chronic conditions and long-term care needs effectively.
Emerging issues for improving the health of older adults include efforts to:
There is growing recognition that data sources are limited for certain subpopulations of older adults, including the aging lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender populations. Research for these groups will inform future health and policy initiatives.

Darksiders Review
One of the most cherished game tapes of my generation's collective childhood. One of the most cherished games of all time. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Darksiders is kind of like that game… A hacky-slashy, open worldy romp and overall good ol' time. You've got fire worlds, water worlds, lush planty green worlds. A big sword. Big chests to smash open. The hookshot. Epona's gothic other half. Bosses. Mini bosses. Z friggin' targetting.
In closing: Darksiders is a blatant, utter ripoff of the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and I couldn't be more satisfied. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery — this is not generally applauded in video game land, but this game is an impressive exception.

The president's comments in a pre-Super Bowl interview on CBS come ahead of this week's meeting of the Boy Scouts' national executive board. A proposal to open up the Scouts' membership to gays is expected to be discussed and possibly voted on at the gathering in Texas.

- not impressedJasonDined on 9/26/2014Ordered med rare burger, lunch for the table took 30 minutes even though we came in and ordered before the lunch rush even began, then my med rare burger came out med well, waitress said it was her fault as she put in for med well, she said it would be very quick to get the med rare burger, so I ordered it and it took 20 minutes to get. I was not impressed with this place. won't be back
- Outstanding mealCrampedVIPDined on 9/23/2014The food was really good. I had brisket cooked as burnt tips that was fantastic. Friends had pork ribs and steaks that was equally well received. We loved the various BBQ sauces. The choc bread pudding was a delicious end to meal. We had a really good waitress who knew the menu well. Need reservation, busy on a Tues nite.Special Features:
- Delicious!!!wattsmcDined on 9/22/2014The food was delicious and the service was great! Barbecue with an upscale twist.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Frito Pie!!!LizLVIPDined on 9/13/2014Lambert's has literally the best Frito pie in the world, and some of the best queso in town. Do yourself a favor and stick to the bar menu because it's pretty great.Special Features:
- FabulousRachelDined on 9/12/2014The angus beef rib with spicy cilantro slaw is my favorite - and this time it was better than I remembered. The mac-and-cheese was delicious and the coconut creme pie was off-the-charts.Special Features:
- BBQTankDined on 9/4/2014Just good BBQ, with some inventive twists if that's what you like. We did.Special Features:
- Good Food and Close EncountersFitforaqueenDined on 8/31/2014The food was absolutely delicious! Best lump crab and ribs I have had since moving to Austin! Yes, it is better than Salt Lick and Rudy's. However, it is very cramped in the restaurant, making it difficult to hear the person sitting across from you because the people sitting next to you at a different table have conversations going on, too. It would be better suited if it wasn't so crowded with tables and people. I was only downstairs, so not sure how upstairs is configured. Despite all that, however, the food was superb!!Special Features:
- A definite winner! Loved it!DRR2013Dined on 8/30/2014Love the setting, love the decor of the old downtown building, loved the drinks and the food. Our waiter described the drinks and food selections with great adjectives that truly fit each item, and helped make our experience even better. This is a must-do upscale barbecue! We will definitely be returning!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- There's Plenty of BBQ in Austinknecht0zDined on 8/28/2014Tough to recall anything being particularly special about Lamberts. I've had more memorable BBQ several other places in Austin.
- Fun & Good FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/25/2014Fun & Good Food, hate to rate, may get overcrowdedSpecial Features:
- anniversary lunchbigptpDined on 8/24/2014I always enjoy lamberts. Thier food is SOOOO delicious. The only thing is that i put that it was my first anniversary on the open table reservation request, but they didnt do anything special...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great fareOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/23/2014Slightly pricey but appropriately priced - quality fare - check menu before going - I had the brisket sandwich but gotta go back at least a few times to try other offerings that caught my eye. Highly recommended!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It could of been a perfect eveningGameboy74Dined on 8/17/2014So me and three friends heard about Lambert's and we decided to have dinner. We all had various appetizers and our main entrees. I had the short rib for dinner. The presentation was beautiful since it was a whole short rib with the bone. The food was good. Everything went so well till the very end. I did not finish my short rib and I asked the waitress to hand me a to go box. She took my plate and she decided to bag it for me. When she brought my to go box, I discovered the bone was removed. I know I being picky, but it would be nice if our waitress asked me if I wanted to keep the bone. Our waitress advised they can't bag our bones because it is to big. My overall experience turned out from excellent to disappointing.Special Features:
- Great Food, Great ServiceyumreviewsDined on 8/17/2014Fantastic brunch -- reasonably priced. Excellent menu and Great Service....what more could you ask for. On Sundays enter the city Hall parking garage from Colorado street -- free parking and right across the street from Lamberts.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great time!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/15/2014We enjoyed great food and fun! It was perfect for 2 couples just wanting to spend time together.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- bbqOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/11/2014Good barbecue place. And they take reservations! A fine place to dine in downtown austin.Special Features:
- Creative and FreshHolyCowBatmanDined on 8/9/2014Loved our dinner, especially the apple and celery salad with poppy seed dressing.Special Features:
- bettyluvs2dineDined on 8/4/2014Very nice spot for upscale BBQ. It's really great to find a BBQ spot with mussels and southern pulled pork on the menu and so well done.Special Features:
- EhhhkelsnbillDined on 8/3/2014We had a friend recommend Lambert's as upscale BBQ in Texas. We are quite foodies so were excited for great food and matching atmosphere. The service was great - our waiter was attentive, cortious, and helpful. However, our meal was delivered about 5 minutes after we ordered. Then we just felt rushed. Rushed to free the table, rushed to clear out before the music, and rushed to make decisions (drinks, entrées and desserts - without menus at times!). It was good food. I had an enormous filet of trout that was cooked perfectly and delicious quinoia. My fiancé had the half chicken and was pleased with the proper cooking of the bird, but was underwhelmed by the seasoning. We enjoyed the corn and broccoli sides. Overall, wouldn't return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Must VisitAndyVIPDined on 7/29/2014Every time I travel to Austin I have to eat at Lambert's at least once. No matter what you order - make sure to get a jalapeno sausage on the side - amazing! I brought two business colleagues with me that had never been - both loved it.Special Features:
- BBQ !KeiferDined on 7/26/2014We were late for our reservations... And were still accommodated with no fusss. The food was very flavorful and good potions... And the margaritas were very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Superb RibsFoodieAtYorkvilleVIPDined on 7/21/2014I came to Texas maybe once in a lifetime, but I came to this place twice. First time: brunch with brisket and farm chicken. Briskets are fabulous. Second time: Boar ribs. Can't resist the temptation of a little bit spicy and a little bit creamy and a little bit cheesy :) Great experience sitting at the bar talking to the bartender.Special Features:
- Very TastyOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/13/2014Great selection of brunch dishes. The breakfast hash was delicious and the Bloody Mary hit the spot.Special Features:
- Southern and FabuloussassyDined on 7/12/2014I got the brunch version of the Frito pie. Ugh it was amazing. It set me free. Lambert's has found the perfect balance between fancy Austin and down-to-earth Texas food. I'll be back for sure.Special Features:
- Fantastic food!ThoseNorwegianFoodiesDined on 7/1/2014True foodies from Norway, we heard about Lamberts on the Keep Austin Weird episode of Bizarre Foods America, and knew we had to go there for our one night in Austin. And, man, we weren't disappointed. T had the Country Style Pork Ribs and M had the Natural Black Angus Filet, with it we had the Carrot, & Cilantro Slaw and the Fried Okra with Spicy Remoulade. The ribs were good, and the hot sauces was brilliant. The filet was the best we've ever had - you could eat it with a spoon, it was THAT tender. The priciest thing on the menu, but well worth it. The fried okra was crunchy with a perfect, soft center. The slaw was good, diffrent - but drowned compared to the other plates. We were taken good care of all night, and felt really at home.Special Features:
- Definitely not the best BBQ in townOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/27/2014I would not recommend Lamberts because there are other BBQ places which are much better than Lamberts. I had the 2 meats plate (chicken and ribs) and I did not find either to be exceptional.
- Boar ribs are Amazing!OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 6/26/2014Boar ribs were definitely a high point... A must try! Cocktails are creative and tasty!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SolidBadgerdilloDined on 6/25/2014I think hype sustains Lambert's popularity. The food is good but not extraordinary. I took an out-of-town friend there for a weekday lunch and enjoyed ourselves, but it certainly wasn't memorable.Special Features:
- Great serviceEasyDinerDined on 6/24/2014We arrived 39 minutes before our reservation but were immediately seated. We asked to sit upstairs so we could enjoy the live music. Our waitress was fast and attentive, checking on us often. A great experience overall, no negatives to report. A standout was the "local rabbit" soup - really tasty with lots of herbs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sit outside on the patio!Alex3485Dined on 6/24/2014Delightful dinner here on 6/24 with a 6pm dinner reservation. We sat outside in the shaded patio area which also had water misters. The bib salad and mac and cheese was my dinner. My husband went for the baby back ribs and fried okra. The service was great the food fantastic. I like the little corn bread muffins to start with. This place was highly recommended by several people and it did not disappoint.Special Features:
- First TimerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/24/2014Very impressed with the menu, food, and service! If I had to classify Lambert's I'd call it "upscale BBQ". Terrific food, highly recommend the oyster appetizer, brisket, and jalapeño sausage, you won't be disappointed.Special Features:
- Excellent Business LunchKateBDined on 6/23/2014We had a business lunch with our bank and title company and overseas investors and it was a perfect spot to entertain. Great round corner table, excellent menu and lovely hostess. Food was quick and tasty and was the perfect business lunch venue.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good FoodJulesDined on 6/20/2014The service was excellant the food was really good but it isn't just a BBQ restaurant as we were led to believe by our hotel. It was a bit loud so not for those who are into a quiet atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Steaks were goodDisappointedVIPDined on 6/16/2014We had the two steaks on the menu and they were both cooked differently but delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/14/2014First time visit to Lamberts. Our daughter who lives in Austin gave us a gift card. We really enjoyed the food, service was very good, our waiter attentive. Enjoyed the visit and would go back again.Special Features:
- Good Food - Too NoisyTOONOISYDined on 6/8/2014We've eaten at Lamberts on several occasions and each time found the noise level to be so loud we could not hear each other or the server. They do not need to play music in a building that already has poor acoustics. It's unfortunate as we most likely will stay away. The noise level really distracted from our experience.Special Features:

- Just meh.bbqloverDined on 5/26/2014We are from out of town and attempted to eat here around 8:45 on Saturday night. Upon walking in and seeing 5 open tables (including a booth) we tried to put our name on the list and were told it would be an hour to 1.5 hour wait for 3 people. We asked why since the list only had a couple of names on it already and we were told "you should've made a reservation, I mean, this IS Lambert's." She may not realize she is the first impression people get and should be less snobby. We left and made a reservation for the next day as instructed. Our waiter was great and polite. The brisket was fatty but the macaroni was pretty good. Overall, we paid $94 for 3 plates, 3 tea's and 3 ice cream desserts. Overall, we weren't impressed :(
- Could have been better...OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 5/25/2014I had been looking forward to dining at Lambert's for some time now. Everytime I was in town they were booked. Finally got a reservation and took my 79 year old mother out for a treat. Food was good - but not as good as I remembered from my previous visit. We were told that our only choice for a table (at 6:00 pm) was up front near the stairs. The noise level from the second floor made it impossible to have a conversation. Probably won't return.
