Just under my photo, there's green text that says "Organ Donor." When I was 16 and getting my driver's license, they asked me if I'd like it printed there. I'd heard the rumors. People said if you were an organ donor, paramedics wouldn't work as hard to save your life. I called bullshit. Print it. Take my heart for someone who needs it. You can't take it with you.
Third period of my first day of high school, my teacher walked in and told us he wanted an essay from everyone about dying empty. I found it morbid. I was young, full of life and I was sure as shit planning to die fulfilled. I wanted to soak up every ounce of this life. I wanted to see every corner of the world and so empty was not an option for me. Of course, that's not what he meant.
I think I was 18 when I truly realized that I don't believe in god. The last hurdle for me was the same as it is for a lot of people. We're afraid to die and rightfully so. Religion quells some of that fear. The idea of an afterlife is comforting. You do some nice things, you give 10% of your income to the church, you follow the rules and you get an everlasting paradise.
I've relegated myself to the idea that this is the only shot I've got. I've started to understand what my 10th grade English teacher was talking about. For me, there's no eternity, no reincarnation, no pearly gates. For me, the only shot at being infinite I have is to leave a legacy worth remembering. I wasn't born empty. We're not shells waiting to be filled in by the world. We aren't a collection of the things we've seen. We're born with something to offer. We're born full of potential. Potential to change the world. Potential to break down walls. We're born full of life and I'm pouring mine out everyday. I'm giving it to everyone I meet because someday, I'm gonna die; we all are, and when that day comes, you can't take it with you.

A pedestrian was injured during a hit-and-run near Roosevelt Street and 7th Avenue on Wednesday morning.
Police say a 36-year-old man was taken to a hospital in extremely critical condition after being hit by a car. They say the driver took off after the pedestrian was hit.
Phoenix Police Officer James Holmes says the man is expected to survive.
After looking at evidence at the scene, detectives believe the suspect vehicle may be a 2007-2013 Chevy Tahoe. They say the vehicle should have front end damage, including the vehicle's lights.
Officers say they understand flight may be a person's first instinct, but are asking the person involved to come forward.
The intersection of Roosevelt Street and 7th Avenue was closed for several hours.

Fact sparks fiction at Vt. Country StoreBy Kevin OConnor
Staff Writer | February 10,2014
Provided Photo The cover of the first "Green Mountain Romance" series novel inspired by the Vermont Country Store.WESTON The story began circulating this month: Over at the historic family-run country store (which, for discretions sake, shall remain nameless) father and sons were fighting when a New York City assistant totaled her car upon hitting a moose, only to fall harder for the brother whose first touch, shes telling everyone, sent a shocking bolt of heat straight through her.
Yes, Cabot, Gardner and Eliot Orton are familiar with the whole steamy tale. Theyre the third-generation proprietors of the Vermont Country Store, an institution thats now the inspiration for a new Green Mountain Romance series of novels by a surprising author.
Marie Force was a mild-mannered Rhode Island mother of two when, rejected by major publishers, she began to write and release her own books. Soon she landed on the New York Times best-seller list, signed a contract with Penguin Random House and, most fatefully, turned on the NBC Nightly News.
A story about the Vermont Country Store and the hunky brothers who run it with their dad caught my attention, she recently told USA Today. That led to a trip to Vermont, some retail therapy at both of the Vermont Country Stores, an idea about a moose, a Mini Cooper, a city girl arriving in mud season wearing $500 suede boots and the Abbott family of Vermont was born!
When Force initially contacted the Orton family, the latest generation to run the 1946 store didnt respond with similar exclamation.
Were guys, says Cabot, the oldest. We dont think about romance novels. Its not on our radar.
Then the author came to Vermont to share her story and sales figures totaling more than 2 million.
We realized this woman is not only serious but shes also a dynamo, Cabot says. She has an army of really devoted fans.
And an equally active imagination. Yes, the series just-released first book, All You Need Is Love, centers on what Westons 566 residents will recognize as a quaint little New England town with a signature white-steeple church, a volunteer fire department, a combination café and gallery, and there, in the middle of everything, the Green Mountain Country Store.
But thats where fact turns into fiction. The novel focuses on Will Abbott, the most handsome hero who works with the family patriarch and nine brothers and sisters yes, a total of 10 children in the fictional town of Butler. As the book opens, father and son are arguing over the store when a city girl, colliding with a moose, is saved by the country boy.
Turning, he caught her inches from his chest, Force writes, and the awareness that had sizzled between them downstairs chose that moment to reappear.
You get the idea. Alas, so did the Orton brothers, who saw the authors previous work featured men covered in muscle and not much else.
We were concerned this might be racy, Cabot admits.
Fortunately, the winter setting requires the characters wear layer upon layer of clothing. Besides, the Ortons reasoned, its just a book. Whod believe theyd fight over business as cupids arrows flew?
Then again, readers may remember when the store made national headlines five years ago after father Lyman introduced a few sexual wellness products for aging couples and his sons publicly sided with critics until customers began buying whats now a 19-item line.
So if romance does mirror reality, whos the inspiration for the books buff brother?
I politely decline the opportunity to answer, says Cabot before elaborating on why it could be either of his two siblings.
Perhaps they should wait to decide whos who: The author is planning at least nine more Vermont novels, one profiling each of the Abbott children and all bearing titles based on Beatles songs.
The road to happily ever after, she notes, promises to be muddy and pitted with potholes.
And potential misunderstandings.
If Marie is opening up our corner of the world to a new audience, thats extremely exciting, Cabot says. But are people now going to wonder if we have seven other siblings?

Slava Rubin, founder of Indiegogo. Indiegogo
Tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of President Obama's signing of the JOBS Act, making it easier for the masses to invest in startups, a practice called crowdfunding. Crowdfunding site Indiegogo was there on stage with the president when it happened, and a year later they, and anyone else interested in crowdfunded equity investment, are still waiting for the last two sections of the Act to be implemented.
Surprisingly though, the San Francisco-based startup isn't really doing a whole lot of preparing for what could be a real game changer.
"Believe it or not, we haven't over thought it," said Indiegogo founder Slava Rubin, in an interview with Upstart Business Journal. There are people who don't have a core business who have looked at the Act as a business opportunity and tried to anticipate the changes, he said. "But we don't really think that way because we have something that's kept us really busy."
As a private company, they've opted not to share their revenue numbers. But in an internal memo obtained by Upstart Rubin told his staff, that Indiegogo now distributes "millions of dollars globally each week."
Global crowdfunding revenue for 2013 is estimated to reach $6 billion.
Rubin told Upstart that people often ask him about whether or not the company has the implementation "coded up" and ready to go, but that it's "kind of hard to have it coded up when you don't know what the rules are."
One thing I came away with very clearly, is that the entrepreneur doesn't think equity funding is going to change anything at all about his business except the incentives fund raisers can use.
Michael earned his BA from Mercer University, along the way excavating a Roman bathhouse with the American School of Archaeology.

What's in a name? Oft times our names refer to the origin of the beans... but there aren't any beans from Nantucket in this blend. More than 20 years ago Nantucket Blend® was created at the request of a loyal customer who lived on Nantucket island. The blend proved a winner, and the name stuck.

Grew on me, now it's a favorite
By Web Designer
from Seattle, WA
About Me Average Joe
My office only stocks K-cups for Keurig machines. Of the 5 or 6 limited options, this has become my go-to. It's mild enough that it doesn't leave an aftertaste like the popular alternative. Occasionally we run out of cream and I drink it black - this is when it can seem a bit watery, but surprisingly not bitter. In general this coffee doesn't offer any spectacular richness or depth of flavor, but it's an easy drinker that provides a pleasant taste and nothing offensive.

If nothing else goes right about my day, a great cup of coffee always helps. I loved this blend from first sip and there is no other aroma as satisfying.The only con and I do mean only con is that it's not available in whole bean. Pleeeease for we connoisseurs (or snobs if you prefer) rock our world even more by BRINGING BACK THE BEAN! Thank you. That is all.

Yes, please provide the option of whole beans for those of us who prefer to grind our coffee. From the first time that I tasted this coffee, which was in the variety pack that came with our Keurig coffee maker, it has been my very favorite and I recommend it to all who will listen.
My Very Favorite of All!!
By texaspepper
from McAllen TX
About Me Health Conscious, Socially/Environmentally Conscious
I've loved this coffee right from the first cup... Tried others that came with my Keurig brewer, but none could match this blend. I drink it morning, noon and night, and it is good hot, cold or room temperature. Then I realized that all my k-cups were going to the landfill, so I switched to this ground variety using the adaptor available onsite here, hoping it would be as good.... sorry, I think it is even better tasting! I, too, would like the beans to fresh grind each time, but I have a vacuum seal container that removes the air, so every cup is as fresh as the one when I first open the bag. WTG!!!

Weak and tasteless
By Big Sipper
from Atlanta, GA
I've tried a lot of different K-Cups and this is the weakest K-Cup coffee I've ever tried. It should not be labeled "Medium Roast", it should be labeled "Warm Water Tasteless" Roast. Too bad I bought a large box at [@]. What a waste...
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Cooking Basics: How to Cook Rice Noodles
Noodle mush, no more! Here's how we make perfect rice noodles for dishes like pad thai, pho, and spring rolls, plus a few extra tips.
Rice noodles are much more delicate and fragile than their wheat noodle counterparts. This actually makes them so easy to prepare that we hardly think of it as cooking.
Place all your rice noodles in a deep mixing bowl, trying to snap as few of them as possible as you remove them from the package (always a challenge for us). Bring a good amount of water to boil. Pour the boiling water over the rice noodles until they are completely submerged.
Every minute or two, give the noodles a stir to loosen them up. When they are completely limp, give them a taste to see if they're cooked through. The thread-like vermicelli noodles used in spring rolls will cook through in just a few minutes. The flat rice noodles might take upwards of ten minutes depending on thickness. Pay attention and test the noodles frequently because they'll become mushy if they overcook.
Once the noodles are tender, drain them and run them under cool water to stop the cooking. Toss them with a bit of sesame oil to keep the noodles from sticking to each other if you're not going to use them right away.
Additional Tips:
• If the noodles will be used in a stir-fry dish like pad thai, you definitely want to under-cook them a bit. They will absorb more moisture and cook the rest of the way through once in the stir fry. If your noodles are perfectly cooked to start, they will turn to mush in the stir fry. Trust us, we've done that more times than we can count!
• If you're making a soup, you can cook the noodles directly in the broth. Add them just before serving and monitor closely to make sure they don't over-cook.
• Even with a bit of sesame oil, the noodles still tend to clump up after you drain them. They will loosen again once you mix the noodles into your dish.
What other tips do you have for cooking with rice noodles?

omg how did you know I've always wanted to make rice noodle the right way. thank for sharing this now I have to go try to prefect it.
When I make them for spring rolls, after soaking and before rolling, I cut them into smaller pieces; I find them easier to eat that way.
I could have used this last night! I had serious rice noodle malfunction and had to redo a batch for soup. I always make the mistake of boiling them.
For thicker noodles in a soup or broth, I tend to cook them separately because they can release a lot of starch into the broth by the time they're done cooking.
I like to soak them in hot, not boiling water - makes it harder to overcook and turn them into mush.
We had this discussion on the Kitchn a few weeks ago: http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/good-questions/how-can-i-keep-rice-noodles-from-sticking-together-good-questions-127357
There was lots of consensus that boiling water is too hot, and that for stirfrying rice noodles, a soak in cold or room temp water is actually preferred.
For Pad Thai and similar dishes, you should soak in cold water. The noodles will still be a tad stiff. Then fry them in a super hot wok.
I just made some rice noodles for dinner tonight. I soaked in warm water for about 10 mins, then stir-fried. They weren't really soft yet, so I kept going another minute or two. Boy, did they go from firm to mushy fast! Luckily I caught them right as they were turning, but I was a bit late. Next time I will pull them just before they seem done.

The Beatles as The Beatles
My girlfriend says it's sad that Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney are here at E3 presenting The Beatles: Rock Band. They've gone from being stars to being star presenters of a game in which they're featured. Note the name: "The Beatles" come before "Rock Band," an acknowledgment that they are the bigger franchise. What I've heard about the game is that the Beatles essence isn't only in the music and the avatars; it's also in the myriad period locales that blossom in the background as you play each song. Extending the Beatles from music and image to environment would be the logical conclusion of music and karaoke games.
Idol worship now takes the form of embodiment -- aided by technology, you're able to inhabit and reanimate the bodies of
[This blog interrupted to observe the fat guy with a crew cut rolling languorously through the expo floor on a Segway.]
your heroes, fictional or real. The Beatles always had an almost sacred image and mythology; now, these are all food for play-acting, through three-part harmonies with your friends if you have the mics.
So it isn't just that the aging Beatles are "featured" in this game. They've become sublimated into the game, into data designed to elicit a Beatles-themed physical and perhaps emotional feedback from the masses. You'll play and sing the right notes at the right times, directed painstakingly by the color cues. Everyone playing this game will become a sort of echo of one of the Beatles, as they were known in public. It's such a videogame way of creating memory -- forcefully, through spectacle and technology.

Minnesota state parks celebrate National Get Outdoors Day
with free admission and family fun on June 14

Your poem, on a bus
Calling all bus poets! Poetry on buses is back. This year's theme is "writing home." You can find submission guidelines here.
Bus cuts are coming
Thanks to the failure of our state legislature--and the subsequent failure of Prop 1 (aka, "plan B"), King County will lose 72 bus routes and see reduced service on over 100 more. There is a chance a plan will be cobbled together to save some service, but it will be even less ideal than the less-than-ideal plan that just failed.

Well done
Review by Chuck | Jan 29, 2014Activity Stream
BTW, I've also found it quite handy for me as an Admin to monitor the visitors activity. Just leave your fronpage opened in a browser tab, and you'll get all the hot news in real time
Discover a new way to enhance customer experience!
This and that actions are taken every other minute at your store: new customers are registered, items are added to the shopping cart, new reviews are submitted, etc. But all these activities fall through the cracks for your visitors and they can't even imagine what is going on right now at the store.
With the Activity Stream extension for Magento, you can let your customers see what is happening at the current moment. Recent actions are displayed in the block that can be easily added to any place of your site and doesn't affect any elements of the page. Moreover, you have a possibility to hide some activities from your visitors and focus their attention on the required ones.
The Activity Stream module makes your customers feel that they are not alone on your website and shows activity streams like "Mike is viewing Electronics", "John has logged in", or "Annett has purchased HTC Touch Diamond". The effectiveness of the extension is clear: visitors are influenced by activities of other people; they take the situation as a recommendation for further behavior and start experimenting and discovering your store.

The family camping trip was meant to reunite the Sidwell family. It's not. After being imprisoned for tax evasion, Nate Sidwell has lost the respect of his wife and his children.
Then when he suspects their truck is being followed, he gets arrested for aggressive driving and has to spend a night in jail. Just when it seems the trip cannot get any worse, the Sidwells discover $4,000,000 cash in their luggage rack, and that Nate was wrong. They aren't being followed. They're being hunted - by four ruthless killers, who will stop at nothing to retrieve their millions.

What is dpi?
Dots per inch (dpi) refers to the addressable grid at which a printer is able to place a printed dot. As such, a high dpi rating infers that greater detail can be expressed in each printout. However other factors such as dot size, half-toning methods and paper will further determine the final quality.
What is 4800 optimised dpi?
HP's new generation of photo quality colour inkjet printers incorporate a 4800 x 1200 optimised dpi mode that offers one of the industry's highest quality output resolutions. This mode helps to bring out the best of high-resolution digital files.
The advantages of HP 4800 optimised dpi mode:
stunning photo quality
superior input resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi
— making the most of high quality inputs
eradication of minute white space and banding
Stunning photo quality
HP's optimised 4800 x1200 dpi mode extracts tremendous amount of detail out of every image. This highly detailed mode is available when printing on HP Colourfast Photo Paper.
Superior input resolution
Printing a high-resolution image (greater than 600 dpi) on other inkjet with a low input resolution between 300 to 720 dpi causes a loss in quality. As these printers are unable to accept data greater than 300 or 720 dpi, the printing software downsizes the data to fit into the lower input resolution — resulting in a drop in quality. HP's 1200 x1200 dpi input resolution ensures that inputs from high-resolution images are retained and not discarded during printing. When printing in the 4800 optimised dpi mode, HP printers can accept input data up to 1200 x 1200 dpi. Input resolution, also referred to as rendering resolution, is the resolution at which the printer receives data from the operating system.
Advantages of "4800 optimised dpi" over "regular or standard 4800 dpi"
In 4800 optimised dpi mode, HP printers can place drops of ink on a 4800 horizontal by 1200 vertical dpi grid. Individual ink drops are intelligently placed at targeted locations on the grid in a highly precise manner. Although the printer is capable of placing drops at every location on the grid simultaneously, doing so would over-saturate the media. Instead, drops are selectively placed only at targeted locations to minimise, if not eliminate, tiny unwanted visual elements known as artifacts, that could detract from the quality of the image.
When should customers use the 4800 optimised dpi* mode?
The 4800 optimised dpi mode offers customers an alternative photo mode that is especially useful for printing higher resolution source images from digital cameras and/or scanners.
What's the difference between 4800 optimised dpi* mode and HP PhotoREt 4?
HP's 4800 optimised dpi mode is a separate printing mode from HP PhotoREt 4.
HP PhotoREt 4 is the default printing mode during normal photo-printing. It offers excellent photo-quality printing at high speeds without increasing the dpi.
HP's 4800 optimised dpi mode is a dedicated photo-printing mode for printing high resolution images that are 600 dpi and above and with a maximum of 1200 x 1200-input dpi.
4800 optimised dpi mode must be user selected from the printer driver.

Chuck Leavell headlines the Capricorn Experience at Chastain Park Amphitheatre. Photo: Fernando Decilli
Capricorn Experience with Chuck Leavell with the Randall Bramblett Band, Wet Willie, Cowboy, Col. Bruce Hampton
Originally Macon-based, Capricorn Records was the label that brought us the Allman Brothers, the Marshall Tucker Band, Elvin Bishop and many more. In later years, Capricorn released albums by 311 and Cake. It was also home to Sea Level, the band formed by Chuck Leavell, who headlines this show. Keyboardist Leavell has played with the Allmans, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, John Mayer and the Rolling Stones.
7:30 p.m. Sept. 14. $30-$37.50. Chastain Park Amphitheatre, 4469 Stella Drive, Atlanta. 404-733-4900, classicchastain.com.
Indigo Girls
Emily Saliers and Amy Ray have spent about a quarter of a century entertaining us — and making us think — with heart-touching songs and gorgeous harmonies. They began performing together as students at Decatur's Shamrock High School (now a middle school).
8 p.m. Sept. 14. $49.50. Atlanta Botanical Garden, 1345 Piedmont Ave. N.E., Atlanta. 404-876-5859, www.atlantabotanicalgarden.org.
The Whispers, Russell Thompkins Jr. and the New Stylistics
The Whispers began in the '60s, but it wasn't until 1980 that the vocal group scored its first Top 40 hit with "And the Beat Goes On." The band's lineup hasn't changed since the early '70s, with one exception. Original member Marcus Hutson died in 2000 and the four remaining Whispers have vowed not to replace him, but to continue as a quartet. The early '70s hits of Philadelphia R&B vocal group the Stylistics — including Top 10s "You Make Me Feel Brand New" and "I'm Stone in Love With You" — can still send shivers up the spine, largely due to the lovely falsetto of frontman Russell Thompkins Jr. Those gorgeous love songs still pack enough sweet, sweet love to make this a romantic's dream night.
7 p.m. Sept. 15. $40-$65; parking $10. Wolf Creek Amphitheater, 3025 Merk Road, College Park. www.wolfcreekamphitheater.com.
Gretchen Wilson
Get rowdy with the woman who took "Redneck Woman" to the top of the country charts in 2004, a hit that broke a two-year dry spell for women at the top of the country singles chart.
7 p.m. Sept. 15. Free; tickets required. Buford Community Center, 2200 Buford Highway, Buford. 770-945-6762, www.bufordcommunitycenter.com.
Amanda Palmer & the Grand Theft Orchestra
Amanda Palmer is half of the theatrically inclined Boston-based Dresden Dolls. Both as part of that duo and in her solo career — she recently released another solo album, "Theatre Is Evil" — Palmer makes strange and wonderful music that weaves together German cabaret and the decadent early '70s work of David Bowie and Lou Reed. It answers this heretofore unasked question: What if Kurt Weill and a '70s glam rocker were both reincarnated in the body of a 21st century woman?
8:30 p.m. Sept. 15. $25; $22.50 in advance. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave. N.E., Atlanta. 404-524-7354, www.variety-playhouse.com.
Brad Paisley, the Band Perry, Scotty McCreery
Brad Paisley is the most consistently entertaining mainstream country artist of his generation. He's joined by two young upstarts. The sibling trio scored a No. 1 country hit in 2010 with "If I Die Young, " which was also a Top 20 pop hit and the Country Music Association's single and song of the year. They followed that up with "You Lie," which climbed to No. 2. The follow-up to that, "All Your Life," put them back at No. 1. Scotty McCreery was the Season 10 winner of "American Idol," which seems to have a knack for finding successful country stars — and personable young male singers.
7:30 p.m. Sept. 15. $40.50-$60.50; $25 lawn; $85 lawn four-pack. Aaron's Amphitheatre at Lakewood, 2002 Lakewood Ave. S.E., Atlanta. 404-443-5090, www.livenation.com.
Grizzly Bear
It began as a bedroom-recorded, one-man project by Edward Droste. With 2006's "Yellow House," Droste recruited a band and ventured forth from his Brooklyn bedroom with his intricate and beautifully twisted electro-folk. In 2009, the band released the lush beauty "Veckatimest," which pushed the band to new heights, both commercially and creatively. The follow-up, "Shields," is set for release the day after this Tabernacle appearance.
8 p.m. Sept. 17. $32.50 reserved; $25 general admission. Tabernacle, 152 Luckie St. N.W., Atlanta. 404-659-9022, tabernacleatl.com.
Ben Folds Five
North Carolina-reared Ben Folds is the musical descendant of Billy Joel and Elton John, a modern-day piano man with an acerbic wit. He's released a long string of memorable work, including "Whatever and Ever Amen," which featured the alt-rock ballad "Brick." After going the solo route for a while, he's back with his band mates in the Five.
8 p.m. Sept. 18. $39.50 reserved; $32.50 general admission. Tabernacle, 152 Luckie St. N.W., Atlanta. 404-659-9022, tabernacleatl.com.
John Hiatt & the Combo
Singer-songwriter John Hiatt has received the Americana Music Association's lifetime achievement award for songwriting. That accolade was well-deserved, as attested by diverse and numerous artists who have covered Hiatt's songs, including Chaka Khan, Jimmy Buffett, Bob Dylan, Kenny Rogers, Elvis Costello and Bonnie Raitt.
8 p.m. Sept. 19. Variety Playhouse. $35; $32.50 in advance. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave. N.E., Atlanta. 404-524-7354, www.variety-playhouse.com.

Eight Mile Road in Midland County is back open and residents returned to their homes after an overturned propane tanker forced an evacuation and road closure Tuesday morning.
The incident happened around 9 a.m. on Eight Mile Road on the corner of Stewart Road.
A tanker truck carrying propane collided with a pickup truck and went into a ditch, which caused the tanker to expel propane gas. Midland County Sheriff's officials determined that enough gas had escaped the tanker to force the evacuation.
Officials evacuated a hand full of homes in the area and those affected were being housed at Floyd Church of God, about a half-mile north of where the incident took place.
Officials say residents who were evacuated were allowed to return to their homes around 3:45 p.m. The road reopened to traffic around 1 p.m.
Floyd Richardson and his wife Lillian were sitting in their home near the intersection of Eight mile and Stewart roads in Midland County on Tuesday morning. Floyd was sitting at his kitchen table where, "I looked out, and I [saw] a Blue Gas truck go by. And then I watched the gas truck hit the lady in the black pickup. He slid, and he slid right into her, and it was almost a head–on," said Richardson.
Richardson says the tanker truck rolled into a ditch. He said he saw a couple of children and a woman in the pickup truck, and they didn't seem seriously hurt, but he said it was obvious that the tanker truck driver was injured.
He said both vehicles were traveling at a high rate of speed. "That guy in that gas truck was doing about 60, she was coming the other way doing probably 55," said Richardson.
Richardson said he wasn't concerned about his safety, and didn't mind when sheriff's deputies asked him and his wife to leave their house due to the propane leaking from the truck. They joined some of their neighbors at a nearby church.
As Richardson and his wife reflect in the church, he says he hopes he never sees an accident like this again. "That truck went up about six foot straight in the air," said Richardson. Richardson added that the local fire department did a tremendous job of responding to the accident in quick amount of time.

Tim Cahill waged a farcical campaign for governor in 2010, but that barely accounts for the tragedy that may be unfolding now in Suffolk Superior Court.
The former state treasurer landed at the defendant's table for allegedly using public money to promote the lottery while he was running as a third-party candidate seeking to topple Governor Deval Patrick. He is now about halfway through a trial expected to last six weeks.

Memphis pastor gains a Dr. King legacy honor at Morehouse
- Written by Tri-State Defender Newsroom
by Robert Jackson
Special to the Tri-State Defender
Dr. Eugene L. Gibson Jr., senior pastor of the Olivet Fellowship Baptist Church (OFBC) on Knight Arnold Road in Memphis, was recently inducted into the prestigious Board of Preachers at the 27th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. College of Ministers and Laity at the MLK International Chapel at Morehouse College in Atlanta.
Dr. Gibson was one of 36 people in the U.S. inducted this year into the MLK International Chapel's Board of Preachers. Each year, The Martin Luther King Jr. Board of Preachers recognizes pastors and other ordained clergy engaged in ministry as their primary professional vocation and who have distinguished themselves as exemplary spiritual leaders in the ethical tradition of Dr. King.
Founding dean of the Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel, Lawrence Carter, created the Board of Preachers 27 years ago to honor King's legacy. Citizens in the public or private sectors and academicians are also recognized, and more than 800 people have been inducted into the College of Ministers and Laity since its founding.
The mission of the Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel at Morehouse College is to teach, encourage, inspire and support the development of "everyone we touch as ambassadors of the Beloved World Community." The vision is that the Chapel will be a beacon for students, faculty, staff and alumni, as well as others from around the world, who seek a meaningful connection with Dr. King's World House values of ethics, nonviolence, service and unity.
Dr. Gibson has served in full time ministry in several capacities. He was the Minister of Music for both the Mission of Faith and New Faith Baptist Churches under the leadership of his late father, Pastor Eugene Gibson Sr. and Dr. Frank A. Thomas. Upon graduation from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, he was recruited by the Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church as Associate Pastor to the Men, before being named senior pastor of OFBC in 2003.
Dr. Gibson received his Bachelor of Theology from Christian Bible College. He received his Master of Arts in Religion from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and he obtained his Doctorate of Ministry from United Theological Seminary. He is married to Nicole Gibson, and they have two daughters, Trinity Essence and Taylor Imani.

I was surprised by the Justice Department news on Aug. 5 charging 11 people with stealing over 40 million payment card numbers. It turns out the same guys were behind a bunch of data thefts at nine different retailers, including the really big heist at TJX. And, in a Hitchcock-worthy twist, it turned out that the very guy who was helping the FBI solve the case was the alleged mastermind behind the plot. Eek. Oops, that never looks good.
But maybe the biggest surprise is how easy the systems were to break into. The "60 Minutes" special last year pretty much got it right. The thieves gained access through relatively insecure wireless networks. Once inside, they were able to move into supposedly better protected parts of the network and install "sniffer" software.Â

(FOX 11/ CNS) A UCLA freshman water polo player was arrested on suspicion of raping a female acquaintance who also attends UCLA in a campus residence hall, UCLA police announced today.
Hakop Jack Kaplanyan, 18, of Glendale, was arrested Tuesday, the same day the female student filed a report with campus police, police said.
An attorney representing Kaplanyan told ABC7 his client and the woman had been dating and engaged in consensual sex.
Kaplanyan was booked early Wednesday and has been released on bail.
Kaplanyan was suspended from the university, subject to an appeal, campus officials said.
Kaplanyan is due at the Airport Courthouse on April 25 at 8:30 a.m.
Kaplanyan was redshirted during the 2012 season. He is listed as 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing 205 pounds.
Kaplanyan was among 324 UCLA athletes named to the Athletic Director's Honor Roll for the fall quarter, which requires at least a 3.0 grade point average and passing at least 12 units.
Kaplanyan is a graduate of Hoover High School in Glendale. His 593 goals are the second most in California by a boys' high school water polo player.

INDIANAPOLIS | Cash for gold stores would be regulated similar to pawn shops under legislation approved 96-1 by the Indiana House Thursday.
House Bill 1188, sponsored by state Rep. Tom Dermody, R-LaPorte, requires precious metal dealers who purchase used jewelery or previously sold products containing gold, silver or platinum to follow specific rules intended to discourage the sale of stolen items.
The legislation, which now goes to the Senate, mandates a cash for gold store employee verify the identity of every seller based on a photo identification card.
Each item purchased would have to be photographed, reported to police and held for 10 days before it could be melted down or otherwise disposed of.
Cash for gold stores would also have to register with the Indiana secretary of state and either own their building or operate under a lease lasting at least 12 months.
Retail jewelry stores that also deal in precious metals would be exempt from the new regulations if they paid at least $20,000 in sales tax in the prior year.

West Jordan » A man who was present during a triple homicide at a Midvale home last year will have to wait another month to be sentenced for loaning his truck to the alleged triggerman.
Davis Romney Fotu, 33, was scheduled to be sentenced Friday, but lawyers asked for a new date, citing unspecified "outstanding issues."
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Fotu pleaded guilty in October to second-degree felony obstructing justice and faces up to 15 years in prison when he is sentenced on March 28.
But he is unlikely to serve any time behind bars on the obstructing justice charge.
In a deal with prosecutors, Fotu agreed to testify against alleged shooter David Fresques, 26, in the triple homicide that left Omar Jarman, 35, Danielle Lucero, 26, and Shontay Young, 34, dead inside a Midvale home.
Prosecutors will likely recommend several years probation in lieu of prison for Fotu's involvement in the Midvale killings.
He will likely be sent to jail in connection with other unrelated crimes for which he will also be sentenced next month.
Fresques faces three counts of aggravated murder and one count of attempted aggravated murder in connection with the slaying.
Fotu's cooperation helped prosecutors build a case against Fresques that resulted in a 3rd District judge ordering him to stand trial for the killings.
Fotu testified during a February preliminary hearing that Fresques shot up the home at 8286 S. Adams St. (450 West) while Fotu and his then-girlfriend were inside.
Though Fotu said he didn't see anyone get shot, he heard the sound of gunfire. He didn't understand why Fresques began shooting, he testified.
According to other witnesses, drug deals were a frequent occurrence at the home and drew a constant parade of people.
Fresques, who had been to the home before, knew the people who lived there and at least two of the alleged victims.
Jarman, whom witnesses testified Fresques considered a snitch, was shot as he sat on a chair in the living room of the home. Young, who was asleep in a recliner in the same room, was killed in her sleep.
Lucero, who was found in bed inside an upstairs bedroom, was shot twice. It was not immediately clear whether Fresques had ever met Lucero.
Fresques has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
His attorneys have argued the state's case is unreliable and inconsistent — based heavily on witnesses who had been doing drugs and committing crimes of their own at the time of the killings.
Prosecutors have 60 days to decide whether or not they will seek the death penalty against Fresques in this case, which has been set for a four-week trial in March 2015.
Fotu, who has been in custody since his arrest nearly one year ago, is remorseful over his involvement with Fresques, defense attorney Rudy Bautista said after Friday's hearing.
"He realizes his involvement after the fact, but he was absolutely scared for his life," Bautista said. "The other individual had a gun, so he went along with it."

Visiting with Michael Burkard
by Claire Guyton, Art + Life Editor
Editor's Note – The images below are scans of drawings by Michael Burkard.
What's your best "That's how I got the idea for that poem" story?
Poems often come to me haphazardly. One case in point, I was telling a "true life" story to my poet friend Phillip Shabazz about a dream I had had years before, I think about 21 years previous to this telling. The dream involved my brother making a mistake in a wedding toast for me, and I had related the incident a few years after it occurred to a psychiatrist I was seeing in 1971. And the psychiatrist blew me away with his explanation of the dream. Too many details to head into here, but I had told the story of this a handful of times over the years. And when I told Phil, he said to me, "You have got to write that down—as is—as a poem." So later that night I wrote the poem as close to the telling as seemed possible. "My Brother Makes a Toast but by Mistake Uses His Own Name" was the title for the poem. A small press in Louisville later published the poem as a very short pamphlet / chapbook.
Once a poem was very much given to me by poet and friend Michael Waters. He had returned from Greece—this was 1982—and he was telling me that on the Island of Eos stray dogs try to "adopt" a kindly tourist. There was one dog that seemed to want Michael's attention and help (food, maybe shelter). Michael was very touched by all this and told me the story better than I'm telling it here. But the story had a sad ending. At the close of the heavy tourist season, the townspeople herd all the stray dogs off the cliffs. I was so struck by Michael's story that I asked him why he didn't write about it. He didn't have a reason. I asked him if he would mind if I did. I wrote a poem based on his narrative which I entitled "The Dogs on the Cliffs." It appeared in APR and in my book The Fires They Kept, and was reprinted in my book Envelope of Night.
Tell us about your usual writing process.
I write often. After years of much revision, I stopped revising for a long time—from 1982 to 2008. I have been trying to return to some revision the past few years, with mixed results. The revisions are usually quite small. I have many pages that I suspect might be prose masquerading as poetry, in terms of verse lines and format, and I will probably try to rewrite some of those to some extent this summer. Sometimes I keep notebooks to write in, and I frequently wind up writing in books I'm reading. I often forget where the attempts at poems are, and come across them months later. I don't mind having that distance in time on an attempt at a poem, although there are exceptions to that, when I want to decide much sooner if something works. I have been writing songs since I was eleven years old, and the process is often the same, except my only way of "writing" a song is to record it, since I don't write music. Traveling by train has been conducive to my poetry writing at times, and traveling by car has been conducive to my song writing.
Do you remember the first poem you ever wrote? What was it about?
The first time I ever tried to write a poem I still remember well. I was in my junior year in high school, the teacher was Robert Lux, and we were doing a poetry unit. I wrote a "poem" with this opening line: "Come back, track upon dream." I received much encouragement from Robert Lux. The first time I wrote anything like a successful poem—a real poem, if there is such a thing—was in the fall of 1966. I was having my usual difficult time studying in college and was in the library looking through U.S. Camera magazine collections, looking at photographs, and I also had Ezra Pound's Selected Poems with me. There was a line in one of the poems that went something like "Bah, I have sung of three cities…." I was immediately inspired to write, and also wrote / talked to one of the photographs I was looking at—the poems felt like they were being dictated to me. First drafts. I wrote seven short poems, two or three of which got collected in Envelope of Night (Nightboat Books).
Is there a "writing rule" you never break? One you love to break?
There is no writing rule I try to break or follow. It isn't that every single piece of my writing has a different agenda, but there always seem to be original roads taken in just about anything I write. That by itself is no guarantee that the poem works. Sometimes I have to look at and consider a piece of writing for a long time before I decide whether it works.

I am back today with the last day of FREEZE Frames for our Oct 6th release. I can hardly stand all this waiting, but we will all get some relief tomorrow as Teasers officially begin!
Today's previews are the latest Who's That Girl set, the newest Triple Scoop, and a visit from our furry friend Flopsey.
Winter in the City has everything you need for Christmas and Holiday cards with your favorite Who's That Girl, but doesn't stop there. She's got a season full of sentiment goodness so you'll find uses for her long after the Holiday's have passed.
Happy Thoughts is this months Triple Scoop set, and you'll be able to order it for FREE during the month of October.
Please be sure to READ all the details on our Triple Scoop program, including, MOST importantly, that it needs to be added to your cart to receive it once the order minimum has been reached. Relying on us to remember is a no-go. Not that we don't love you and want to include it, but Mr. MFT is over 40 just like me and without that little memory jog of it being listed on your order, you probably won't get it. Maybe we should kick some Gingko and HGH into our daily supplement routine? Nah….
This month our favorite bunny is back and ready to play in the snow! He will MELT your heart, I promise!
And since we are on the winter theme, I think it's a good time to show off our very last Die-namics die for October, Let it Snowflake. There are three different sized snowflakes included for $10.95. Think felt snowflakes, glittery snowflakes, snowflake ornaments, snowflake tags…ahhhhh.
Tomorrow I'll be back to TEASE you and until then, have a beautiful day!

First, there was a Sword Art Online doujin. Now, there's also an Accel World doujin! Let's hope the doujin mangakas will shift their attention to these awesome series, be it hentai or not.
