Cabins were cute and clean.
Wifi was very spotty and the continental breakfast was pretty unhealthy with only bananas for fruit and lots of sugary cereals with whole milk. During the amazing fall harvest in VT, they could have done better for breakfast with minimum effort. Bathrooms were small and pretty old fixtures. Pretty expensive for what it was.

The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Many hiking trails nearby. Breakfast was good as well.
Our room was right above the kitchen, so we heard banging and thumps coming from below us at night and in the the morning. No TV in the room. There seemed to be no staff members available. Only signs to call a certain phone number or to see the bartenderThe roof of the dining room and kitchen were directly outside our room's windows. No Inn at Long Trail staff member warned us about men working on the roof. One afternoon, we returned to the room to shower after hiking. After showering and leaving the bathroom, I was surprised to spot a man on the right side of the bathroom window. I happened to be wrapped in a towel at the time I noticed the man, but I'm not sure was he saw before and during my shower. The bathroom window had no blinds or curtain either.

The owners were nice.
Hotel looks better on Internet than in-person. I think it was overpriced for room and for season. Deceiving portrayal of hotel. Looks somwhat rundown inside and outside.Didn't have my reservation for the correct night. I had booked thru Priceline for Friday night, and when we arrived the hotel owner Mike said he had me down for Saturday. After driving all day, we were just lucky they had a room. Thought too expensive for what was offered.

Room was booked with fridge and microwave. Did not get one so we had to change rooms. The original room as clean but the new one was dirty with trash in drawers, used soap and razor in bathroom , open waterbottle on nightstand, dirty towels in bath. Housekeeping left a lot To be desired even after they "fixed" the problem. Had to wait 3 hrs for clean towels. It was much better when Red Roof owned it

Convenient location right off the highway. Facility was being remodeled and we stayed in a newer room. Breakfast was included. Good value for the money.
The remodeled rooms were in the back of the hotel. Didn't get a warm fuzzy feeling from the other characters staying there. Always removed everything from vehicle every day. Lots of cameras and signs reminding you to take your belongings. Some people drinking in back parking lot.

We came in the summer time. We didn't really see anyone until our last day so it was a little creepy. The night we came in there was no staff on duty, just a security guard who didn't really make us feel that welcome. Aside from that, we were very happWe had a great stay in our condo. It had all the accommodations we needed. If you're looking to stay in a place that's stocked for a weeks stay, this is the place to go. We will be back for future trips to VT.

We stayed in this resort off-season, but the staff was most helpful, and the room was clean and very comfortable. A nice thing about this place is that we were allowed a late checkout without any questions. Next year we'll definitely stay there again.

In the Garage: 1982 Ferrari 308 GTSi
1982 Ferrari 308 GTSi owned by Stephen Wohlleb
If this sleek Ferrari looks familiar to Tom Selleck fans, that's because he drove a similar car in the "Magnum P.I." television series, which aired from 1980 through 1988. "It is one of the more easily recognized of all Ferraris," Wohlleb says of his black coupe, "but it is sometimes mistaken for a kit car built on a (Pontiac) Fiero frame." Sports car aficionados know better. The 308, produced from 1975 to 1985, was ranked among the top 10 sports cars of the '70s by Sports Car International magazine. According to ferrari308.com, just 1,749 GTSi models were produced in 1981 and 1982. HOW LONG HE'S OWNED IT
"I have owned the car for about seven years," he says, "but have always wanted a Ferrari. I had lost a beautiful, restored Jaguar XKE in an accident and selected this car as a replacement." WHERE HE FOUND IT
"The car was listed in Newsday under 'sports cars' and the owner lived relatively close to my home," Wohlleb says. CONDITION
The exterior was repainted just prior to Wohlleb's purchase, but he's since done major mechanical and interior work. He also installed a fire suppression system "as these cars have a history of engine compartment fires," he says. "Parts for this model Ferrari are readily available and not as expensive as one would think. I have a local mechanic that is both reasonable and talented with these cars." TIPS FOR OTHER OWNERS
"Drive the car," Wohlleb advises. "The more you use it, the better it behaves. Low- mileage 'garage queens' are often the worst choice." VALUE
He says that similar Ferraris can be bought for the upper $20,000 to low $30,000 range. "Their value has actually been increasing lately, while other classic and muscle car prices have declined," he says. PERSONAL COMMENTS
"It's not as fast from a dead stop as many modern cars, but it handles back roads like it was glued," Wohlleb says. "I often take it to local car shows and to Ferrari gatherings, especially at North Fork wineries. I asked my wife if I now looked like Tom Selleck, but she maintains I have remained the short idiot she married years ago. Win some, lose some."

Twenty Things: Vintage Tokyo subway posters
There's more below, but you can see all of these retro posters from the Tokyo subway telling people how to behave with explanations here, though I'm sort of fond of not knowing what they say in a weird absurdist take on Western and Japanese pop culture icons sort of way. Basically, they can be boiled down to "don't smoke, don't be an asshole, don't spazz out, don't leave gum on the floor" etc.

It's 1991 and a sickeningly malicious subway robbery leaves a mother dead and her cop husband left to raise his daughter alone.
Fast forward a decade and the little girl is now an NYU student still living with her over-protective father. Into her life comes Tyler, the tearaway son of a upper middle class family ripped apart by its own past tragedies.
Bookended by a pair of genuine body blows – of which more later – what's most impressive about the film is that it is a genuine two-hander.
It would have been very easy for this to have become The Pattinson Show but debutante writer Will Fetters and Hollywoodland director Allen Coulter have the wit and intelligence to use their star to draw the audience into the story rather than just into the cinema.
Both script and pacing allow the leads the necessary time and space to breathe so that, when their stories do ultimately intersect, its natural to want to follow them both together and apart.
Innocently stepping in to stop a street fight, Pattinson's character ends up first squaring up to, and then getting a lesson in fisticuffs from, the arresting officer.
When its pointed out that he shares a university class with the cop's daughter, a vindictive plan is hatched to love her and leave her. But the path of true revenge never runs smoothly and its not long before the teen-friendly Machiavellian scheme turns into something a little more heartfelt – thanks to the transitory powers of home-cooked spaghetti and showering with a friend.

Sometimes We Just Need to Cut "It" Loose
- Tuesday, June 19, 2012
Have you ever responded to someone wanting to know how you were with, "Just hanging in there," "Down to the last strand," "Losing my grip" or "At the end of my rope"?
There are moments when I feel like I'm trying to do too much and other times when I'm not doing enough. I can't decide whether to continue struggling to hang on or to just let it all go.
After watching the opening scene of the movie Vertical Limit, I have a whole new perspective on this dilemma.
The movie opens with some breathtaking views of Monument Valley, Utah where a couple of skilled mountain climbers—a father, his son and daughter—are casually, but cautiously, making their way up the vertical face of a magnificent rock formation.
A couple of recreational climbers are scaling the same face above and off to the side of the trio when the two break loose from where they were attached and knock the other three off the rock, getting entangled with them. All five are momentarily dangling from a couple of camming devices (cam—a spring-loaded piece of equipment placed into a crack of a rock to provide a place where a climber's sling, carabiner and rope can be secured), until one fails and the two novices fall, leaving the trio hanging precariously by one last anchoring device.
When the daughter is unable to attach any further cams, their father, knowing one will not hold the weight of the three of them, implores his son, who is in the middle, to cut the rope holding him up (and pulling the other two down).
Reluctantly and despondently, his son obliges to save his life and the life of his sister.
This scene (or recurring dream of mine) vividly depicts my sentiments at times—dangling by a rope, ready to break loose, while being dragged down by the weight of so many other things in my life. I don't want to let go of those (seemingly good) "things", but I also don't want them to take me down.
Are there things in your life weighing on you? Are they vitally necessary or should you consider cutting them loose?
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a right time to hold on and another to let go (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8).
If there was anyone who knew the importance of "letting go," it would be King Solomon. He had seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines, controlled the entire region west of the Euphrates, composed three hundred proverbs and 1005 songs, wrote the Song of Songs, Book of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, built numerous temples and structures, and had more "things" than any of us could ever imagine.
Most of us don't have quite the responsibilities, distractions or possessions, nevertheless, we all have something in our lives we don't need to be spending our time on nor distracting our focus.
What should you consider letting go of today?
From the Past
Almost all of us have some baggage we're carrying around causing us angst from time to time; however, many treat these personal issues as ongoing current events. They may have been the result of a broken relationship, harsh words spoken about you, a cultural heritage, a betrayal of a trusted friend, or the lack of encouragement growing up.
Isaiah says in Isaiah 43:18: "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past."
Whatever it is you've been dragging along for years, it's time to let it go.
I will forgive their sins and will no longer remember their wrongs (Hebrews 8:12).

Original Message
The web is full of information , contactees, mediums you name it about a Galactic Federation. Even Fulford and Wilcock are mentioning that this "Galactic Federation" is in contact with the secret and sacred asian socities of this world to replace the "Dark Cabal" and end their era of power.
There is massive information ( or disinformation) on the web about this topic.
I found also curious that "they" want to establish a new society based in meritocratic values and a precious metals-based monetary system
According to "telepatic contactees" claims, the end of the Dark Cabal is near.They are promising mass arrests and the beginning of a new era.
I would like to open the discussion about geopolitics, exopolitics and the potential impact of world economy in a special biblical and mystical year as 2012
First part:
Greg Giles 3-23-12… One of the Most Important Greg Messages… Ever… "This must be done in the name of the people, and it must be done in the name of your new world"
Posted on March 23, 2012
"The governments of your world are playing a game of quid pro and quid pro quo. (Latin: What for, what for what.) We have given them every opportunity to step down peaceably and offer their assistance in the implementation of your new system. They have refused time and again to cooperate and now it is time for them to be removed in any way possible to clear the path for your further development and your new governmental and financial systems. Please allow us the opportunity to assist you to remove these stubborn individuals and institute worldwide governmental regime change that will once and for all end this dark period in your planet's history.
"We will now move ahead with this phase of the operation and begin the take down of those seated within your governments who are aligned with the powers of the dark and who are corrupt through to the bone. They will be replaced by those souls of honor and integrity, balance and foresight, and who possess within them an honor of duty. These men and women are highly trained at the positions they will fill and they are, or will be, sworn to uphold the law of light, of freedom and the sanctity of the human soul and spirit, and if anyone who takes office fails to maintain this focus they too shall be removed."
Oh, all right, so I said it's one of the most important. There have been others. But so be it. This one resonated so many bells within me it felt like my body was shaking apart. It also felt as through the corner has been turned in the relationship (and patience) of the Higher Ones with those of the "dark-intended" ways. As if they are saying, "If you are not willing to step down, we will take you down. Now."
Although I do not always like the tone of the John Kettler reports (rather rough and tough, kill or be killed kind of tone), guaranteed they (ETs/EDs) are no longer playing around with these dark-intenders. See this recent article by JK for more.
I would also point out that the mass of resignations from the banks and political and other areas have been of those who were given the choice of "resign willingly or be forced out or arrested." They accepted the former. Now those who have continued to hold out are being taken out. Or soon will be.
We have given [the governments of your world] every opportunity to step down peaceably and offer their assistance in the implementation of your new system. They have refused time and again to cooperate and now it is time for them to be removed…
…we need to get underway with the vast sweeping changes of your world as time is running very short and there is so much work yet to be done to secure your paths to ascension…
Many of your government officials would rather see you suffer than to step down from their positions of power, so we see no other alternative than to remove them forcibly.
These men and women need to understand that they will face harsher penalties for their actions by refusing to step down from their positions.
This will now end, and we offer our assistance to our Earth allies who must now move forward and remove these individuals from their offices and take them into custody.
This must be done in the name of the people, and it must be done in the name of your new world.
They [government officials] have stubbornly refused all offers to make this as easy a transition as possible for them, and they are now out of time and out of bargaining power. The next time they hear from us and our Earth allies will be when we are knocking on their door to take them away and into custody.
We will now move ahead with this phase of the operation and begin the take down of those seated within your governments who are aligned with the powers of the dark and who are corrupt through to the bone.
They will be replaced by those souls of honor and integrity, balance and foresight, and who possess within them an honor of duty.
We wish for all our Lightworkers in the field to again be pillars of strength and a fountain of information for those who will thirst through misunderstanding, fear and confusion at what they will be witnessing.
…we tell you [the changes long discussed] are just up ahead and once they begin they will not slow or stop and you will never have cause to wait impatiently again.
…this part of your mission will be over shortly, and the next phase of operation will see you fully abreast of each and every development and there will be no longer any need for secrecy.
Look for the changes in your governments to coincide with the mass arrests of those of your criminal Cabal, their underlings, and many of their associates.
Those who hold positions within your governments have never been, and are not today, entitled to any kind of special treatment or protection from your laws which they have broken time and again. They will be arrested and charged just as any criminal would in your society and held to face the charges against them.
Look for these changes to be rapid and look for them to be far sweeping as the corruption reaches through the many branches of your governments.
Your new governing bodies will take root and grow strong and healthy, bearing fruit for the people of your world.
Help [others] to see these arrests are clearing the way, making it all possible, and a better world is what will stand when all the smoke clears.

Reconstructing Swedish population 1630-1750
AbstractThe world population growth accelerated in the eighteenth century, which caused real wages to decline in most countries. Recent data for Sweden implies that population growth was stronger in the seventeenth century than in the eighteenth century, while Swedish real waged increased during the seventeenth century and decreased in the eighteenth century. This study attempts to resolve the anomaly, and argues that recent estimates of Swedish population and mortality rates are too low for the seventeenth century. It presents revised annual demographic data for Sweden 1630-1750, pointing towards that there was small acceleration in early modern growth. However, the acceleration was not as pronounced as in the rest of the world.

Fashion model Claudia Schiffer welcomed daughter Cosima Violet last month.
I doubt we'll ever have a third child. There are dozens of practical reasons. And one reason that's trivial for him, dead serious for me: we could never agree on a name. We do have a few candidates, scraps from the cutting room floor. I've mentioned them in comments from time to time, but I […]
Head over to a baby naming website and suggest naming your baby-to-be Alivia. Or Jaxon. Some will applaud your choice and add that Alyveah and Jaxin are cute, too.

Love them!!!
Signs of Love Save the Date Magnets They came out beautifully! Just the way I designed them! I love how they give a template and then you can make it your own! Excellent quality as well! Order from magnet street!
Just what I wanted
Whispering Feather Save the Date Magnets Personalization was easy and quick. With so many different options and colors I could choose, the magnet save the dates were just what I wanted. They were also at a great price! They don't look cheap and are very affordable.
Perfect! An excellent product to be proud of.
Signs of Love Save the Date Magnets I am so happy to have ordered through Magnet Street.com They are true professionals when it comes to design, finish, customer service and price! There is so many choices (size & style). I liked being able to mark favorites (definitely make an account prior to ordering). I'm glad I did, I happened to receive a email special which saved me $$ (over twenty dollars). My fiance and I received our magnets in two weeks. I had been worried about the size of our picture given we went with the business card sized magnet but I was overjoyed when the pictures/magnets were perfect. I guess as a courtesy Magnet Street sends you the extra product and as a result we got five extra magnets. COOL! I highly recommend Magnet Street.
Came out perfect!!
Whispering Feather Save the Date Magnets The save the date magnet we ordered exceeded our expectation! We have heard only good things from our family and friends and would recommend the card to everyone!

system recovery seems to be stuck
My Windows 7 x64 desktop box developed a problem this morning with the ACLS file that Windows diagnostics could not fix. After several attempts, I decided to do a non-destructive re-set via the recovery management software included with the box (eMachines 1331, which came with no disks, only recovery partition).
The process seemed to go smoothly, but the Restore Progress screen has been sitting at 'Please wait a moment...' for well over an hour now and I'm puzzled. Shouldn't there be some sort of progress bar indicating how long remaining in the process, or is it meant to just sit on the 'Please wait a moment...' with the trailing dots cycling from 1 to 5 dots as it is doing?
The drive is 683 gigs usable, with about 50% in use for files and programs.
Any ideas? How long should this process take?
I should also mention that I have Googled repeatedly in an attempt to get an answer to this, but could find nothing.

January 16, 2004
CRISP COUNTY - Angela and Timmie Jenkins, both of 610 Crossroads Store Road, were officially charged with 36 counts of animal cruelty Friday afternoon after more than 30 dogs were discovered inside her home Wednesday.
A Department of Family and Children Services worker went to the home to investigate the well-being of Jenkins' two sons when the mess was found. Timmie Jenkins was arrested after he got into an argument with that worker and a Sheriff's Deputy.
Investigators say the couple was illegally breeding dogs, ranging from Pekinese to Labradors. At least 30 were inside the small home when the DFACS worker was there. Witnesses told WALB that the home was filthy and littered with animal droppings.
According to the Department of Agriculture, the couple was already wanted in Worth County but moved before police could locate them. They had been ordered to quarantine the dogs that had mange, eye infections and bloody paws, among other illnesses.
The majority of the animals are being cared for at the Albany Humane Society since there was not enough room in the Crisp facility. Several more are being treated by a Cordele veterinarian. One was found dead. An autopsy is being performed on that dog and its outcome will determine whether felony animal cruelty charges will be sought against the couple.
Child cruelty charges are also pending results of medical tests on the children. For now, the 10 and 12-year-old boys are in custody of DFACS.
Angela Jenkins is being held in the Crisp County Jail, already charged with an outstanding traffic warrant. Timmie Jenkins was released but Sheriff Haralson expects to have him back in custody soon.

Dead Body in Hotel's Water Tank Caused Water to Run Black & That's Not Even the Scary Part
For three weeks, the body of 21-year-old Canadian student Elisa Lam sat in the water tank of the Hotel Cecil in Los Angeles. Guests complained of funny tasting water and faucets that "ran black", and yet no one ever thought a discovery as gruesome as this would happen.
There are so many creepy and horrifying aspects to this story, it's worse than any Japanese horror film with a bad American remake (Dark Water). Let's start with the video that has been widely circulated of a seemingly terrified Lam trying to press elevator buttons and failing, gesturing wildly to some unseen "person" or thing off-camera. What. The. Hell. And then there is the hotel itself.
The Hotel Cecil is a budget hotel in downtown Los Angeles where some people live. Always a bad sign in a hotel. But even worse, its history chills the bones.
In 1962, a woman jumped to her death from the top of the building and landed on a pedestrian passing by who she also killed. Rumor has it that the Black Dahlia -- the most famous unsolved murder in LA's history -- hung out there before her grisly murder. "Night Stalker" serial killer Richard Ramirez used to stay there.
Terrifyingly, Ramirez isn't the only serial killer to call the hotel "home" briefly. Johann "Jack" Unterweger, an Austrian serial killer, stayed at the Cecil Hotel for five weeks in 1991 while murdering prostitutes. He then killed himself just a few blocks away as the police closed in on him. Yes. Seriously.
The Lam death is scary, mysterious, and as yet unsolved. Was she murdered? Did she have a psychotic break and climb into the water tank on her own? Was she trying to hide from someone?
We don't know anything so far. The only thing I know is that I won't be staying at the Hotel Cecil the next time I am in Los Angeles. I am not sure if I believe in ghosts exactly, but I do believe in energy and the importance of it. A hotel with this many tragedies can't possibly have good energy. And if I did believe in ghosts, I would have to believe that some are in the Hotel Cecil.
Of course, none of this solves whatever happened to this poor girl. Whatever happened, her death is a horrible tragedy and I hope her family is able to get some kind of answer soon.
Would you stay in the Hotel Cecil?

billsfan1104February 22, 2013 at 8:29 AMHell the fuck no, I would never stay there. They have to replace all those pipes in that hotel. I wonder who stuffed her in there.

Seriously?February 22, 2013 at 8:46 AMObviously this isn't anyone's first choice of places to stay. Probably not anyone's first choices of lifestyle, either. You wind up in a place like that because at some point in your personal history, you took a very wrong turn, either on your own or as a victim of circumstance. So no, I don't think anyone is going to go to this place for their next family vacation.

PRIMA487February 22, 2013 at 8:49 AMI know its just me most likely,but couldn't you come up with another comparison other than a Japanese horror flick given that Lam is Asian? Kinda insensitive. As for staying there; if you're "messed up" checking in ,then chances are you're going to be "messed up" when you "checkout",however you "checkout". This ain't "Hotel California".

tinaFebruary 22, 2013 at 8:57 AMWho stuffed her in there? Nice choice of words...-eyeroll-. I feel for this girl and her family. Whatever happened she didn't deserve it and the people who drank that water!

DebaLaFebruary 22, 2013 at 9:01 AM
I touched on its horrifying reputation and limited roof access, and inside knowledge of layout and camera/security system in another post. 'Seedy' and suspect doesn't cover it. The coroner just reported no conclusive cause of death [stabbing, drowning, etc] or manner [homocide vs accident, etc]. Definitely a hotel staff member did it.
LA Times: "The only ways to get to the roof are via a locked door that only employees have access to and a fire escape. The door is equipped with an alarm system that notifies hotel personnel if someone is on the roof, Los Angeles police Sgt. Rudy Lopez said."

blhFebruary 22, 2013 at 9:10 AMUggghhh I about threw up....they drank water with a dead body in it....

DebaLaFebruary 22, 2013 at 9:11 AM
...and the police are treating this as a supicious death, not confirming whether or not there was trauma, so there's an ongoing investigation. The 'do not drink' order is in place until the tanks and pipes are cleared water retested.
This poor girl. She was gesturing in fear and confusion, probably talking to her killer, an employee, who she thought would help her. A water tank is a perfect place to hide a dead rape victim to wash away any DNA and trace evidence. :(

Poor girl May she RIP!!! this could be your sister,daughter or niece so sad!

Seriously?February 22, 2013 at 10:03 AMThere is a difference between loving history and seeking out a hotel in a notoriously seedy, crime filled neighborhood. So, no, BiBi, mine was not a dumb comment, because the majority of people try to avoid heartache and negative energy. I love history, too. I don't love places that could be featured in an article advertising the best places to rape and dismember young women.

JMC 194 April 23, 2009 Today Comma splice Rules for commas and dependent + independent clauses Moving on to S-V agreement hot spots Plan for review/final exam Quiz But first: ?Multitasking can be defined as screwing everything up simultaneously.? Source Unknown ?Self-respect is the fruit of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.? Abraham J. Heschel ?Is there no respect of place, persons, nor time in you?? Shakespeare, Twelfth Night ?Facebook is not for school time.? Andrea Decker Comma Splice Connecting two independent clauses with just a comma, no independent clause: There?s nothing wrong with Facebook, it?s not appropriate for use in class. 3 ways to fix a comma splice: Add a coordinating conjunction. Make it two sentences, using a period. Use a semicolon. Rules for connecting dependent and independent clauses: If the dependent clause comes first, use a comma: Because you were on Facebook, you missed my hilarious joke. If the dependent clause comes second, you don?t need the comma: You missed my hilarious joke because you were on Facebook. Subject-verb agreement You can tell when it?s wrong. Your ear tells you a lot, but it won?t tell you everything! My cats is crazy! When is a subject always singular? When is a subject always plural? When could it be either? What are some potential trouble spots? Always-singular subject Each, either, anyone, everyone, much, one, no one, nothing, someone: Each is special in its own way. Anyone is welcome. Everyone is invited. Much is unknown about the Romanovs. One wonders if Britney?s lost it for good. Always singular Always singular: No one is going to rain on my parade! Nothing hurts like heartache. Someone?s in the kitchen with Dinah. Sometimes these words are adjectives: Each option has its merits. Either color looks good on you. Every day is different. Be careful ?Anyone? and ?someone? take a singular verb, which can cause gender trouble: Someone left ???? car keys at my house. Wrong: Someone left their car keys at my house. Right: Someone left his or her car keys at my house. Better yet: Someone left a set of car keys at my house. Always singular ?It? as a subject: It scares me. It?s not salad I like; it?s salad dressing. ?The number? (Note: not ?A number?) The number of adopted animals has skyrocketed. But: A number of animals are available for adoption. (An unknown number; presumably more than one animal, therefore plural.) Always singular Units of money, time, etc. Fifty dollars is a lot for a tie. Nine years of solitary confinement has taken its toll. Organizations and groups My family is dysfunctional. Doctors without Borders is sending supplies. Food Spaghetti and meatballs is my favorite meal. Medical problems Diabetes is serious. An Exception! Bands and Teams What about plural-sounding sports teams and bands? In cases like these, a group takes a plural verb: The Suns are going all the way this season. The Beatles are the most important musical group in pop music history. The Shins are her favorite band. The Sun Devils have an impressive record. Try it an see: Does your ear agree? The Suns is great? Always singular Adding stuff onto a singular subject doesn?t change the verb: Supernanny Jo Frost, together with the desperate parents, tries to reform unruly kids. Your textbook, as well as a pencil and paper, is required at each class period. A word of warning: These constructions can be clunky. Rewrite? Always singular When a compound subject joined by ?and? refers to the same person or thing: The president, founder and CEO took sole responsibility for the disaster. The top student, star athlete, prom king and valedictorian of the class of 2007 was Christopher. Either/Or and Neither/Nor In sentences using these constructions, the noun closest to the verb controls the verb number: Either burgers or pizza is fine with me. Either pizza or burgers are fine with me. Either the piano or the drums have to be sold. Either the drums or the piano has to be sold. Neither my sister nor my brothers like tomatoes. Neither my brothers nor my sister likes tomatoes. Final Exam info: If you haven?t e-mailed me about a SCHOOL conflict, you must. School conflicts will be honored. Otherwise, you must take the final on May 8 at 9:50. The final is worth 25 percent of your grade Check out Blackbord to let me know what topics you want to review. Next week is review. That?s all.

Oosthuizen starts 2013 on a high14 January 2013 South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen began 2013 in style by capturing the Volvo Golf Champions at Durban Country Club on Sunday. With the win, he climbed to a career high ranking of fourth in the world. While the South African star claimed victory, with a round to play it had appeared that Scott Jamieson would register his second European Tour win in Durban in the space of just over a month. He entered the final round with a sizeable lead of five shots over Oosthuizen, Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee and France's Julien Quesne. Oosthuizen responded with a final round of six-under-par 66, the equal lowest round of the day with Jamie Donaldson and Marcel Siem, while Jaidee posted a 68 and Quesne a 71. Jamieson, meanwhile, closed with a level-par 72. That left Oosthuizen the winner on 16-under-par 272, Jamieson second on 273 and Jaidee third on 274.
ConsistentThe victory was Oosthuizen�s seventh top-10 finish in his last eight events, and his fifth top-six finish in his last six European Tour tournaments, which underlines his consistency and shows why his world ranking is at an all-time high. "It's a great start and I can only build from here," he told the Sunshine Tour. "I love starting in South Africa and the last two years have been really good, and I'm just glad I could start in the same way again," he added; in 2011 and 2012, Oosthuizen began his year with victories in the Africa Open in East London. Oosthuizen said starting so far off the lead going into the final 18 holes was, strangely, a good thing: "When you start five behind, you don't have that much pressure. Once I got to the ninth and was one behind the crowd really got into it. By the time I got to the 12th, I was leading by one and it was great to see everyone get so pumped up," he explained.
Durban Country ClubInterestingly, every time the Durban Country Club has hosted a European Tour event, the tournament has been won by a South African: in 1996, Wayne Westner won the FNB Players Championship, Ernie Els won the South African Open in 1998 and 2011, and Tim Clark lifted the South African Open title in 2002 and 2005. Defending champion Branden Grace finished 10th on 10-under-par 278. He was let down by an opening round of 75. After that, he showed fine form, carding 67, 69, and 67. Ernie Els finished tied for 18th on seven-under 281, while Retief Goosen, in his return to action after undergoing back surgery, tied for 20th on six-under 282 after a consistent performance that produced rounds of 72, 70, 70, and 70. Darren Fichardt finished on two-over 290 and Jbe Kruger on five-over 293.

When DeLand Animal Hospital became a 24/7 treating facility in 2012, people in need of emergency pet care discovered a level of service that went beyond round the clock availability.
People were comforted by the compassion, attentiveness and skill they may not have encountered during previous urgent care experiences, Hospital Director Jim Locascio said in a phone interview.
Fear and dread gave way to feelings of safety and confidence in pet owners to the extent that they wanted to use DAH for routine veterinary services as well.
"Clients as far south as New Smyrna Beach who traveled to DeLand for their 24 hour needs said they wished they lived closer, Mr. Locascio said.
As of Dec. 5, those clients do live closer.
DeLand Animal Hospital Port Orange is now open at 3855 S. Nova Road.
"We would like to have a day practice in all areas of the county," Mr. Locascio said. "This (office) was the first of interest to us based on location."
While the Port Orange facility is not open nights and weekends, clients have access to anytime care in DeLand, which makes hospital stays easier on patients and their owners.
Mr. Locascio explained that in the past clients who had to leave their pets at emergency clinics overnight would have to pick them up by 7 a.m. and transfer them to their regular veterinarians. If the animal required more time in the hospital, owners would have to transport them back to the emergency clinic when their regular vet closed for the night -- an ordeal for both owner and ill or injured pet.
Or in some cases, pets stayed at their regular vet's office, but may have had to be left there unattended throughout the night.
"We're very fortunate and thankful for DeLand and the surrounding communities to be so thankful for the 24-hour (clinic) that we wanted to extend that service to other communities," Mr. Locascio said.
And since the veterinarians and staff from DeLand also will work in Port Orange, he said pets and their owners alike will have the comfort of seeing the same faces at both locations.
"It's about ease of transition and continuation of care," Mr. Locascio said. "We all -- staff and doctors -- truly love what we do."
Mr. Locascio has spent 22 years in the veterinary medicine field. He's been a technician and has managed several practices.
"I've been everything but a doctor," he said.
When DAH's husband and wife owner-operators Drs. Deborah Ulbrich and Tom MacPhail took over the 56-year-old practice, they brought updated modalities and courage in treatment along with them.
"We continually find ways to keep current in the veterinary field," the DAH website states. "Therefore, continuing education is of importance to us. Our veterinarians and staff regularly attend conferences in order to continue the education process."
When the veterinarians began to explore the idea of treating exotic animals, Mr. Locascio told them he knew the right man.
Dr. Frank Beazlie was only four or five years old when he found a snake that had been hit by a car. It had a wound in its side and its intestines were prolapsed. But even that early in life the determined healer would not turn away from hope.
"I tried to treat it with Band-Aids," Dr. Beazlie said. "I've been rescuing wild animals since then and trying to rehabilitate them."
The doctor, who is in the process of micro-chipping 150 venomous snakes, has a particular affinity for reptiles.
"Reptiles always held a special place in my heart because not too many people work on them," Dr. Beazlie said. "They can be difficult to have, as patients and pets."
Who exactly is going to pick up that venomous snake and take it to have its microchip scanned?
"In Florida, the state has a new law," Dr. Beazlie explained. "All non-native venomous snakes kept in captivity have to be micro-chipped. Florida has given owners a year to get it done."
The procedure, he said, is not something easily done at home and not too many owners are willing to put themselves in such a precarious position.
Port Orange resident Katie Bauwens did not have a clue how interesting her life was about to get when she met Dr. Beazlie while he was in the area for the interviewing process with DAH.
The two met, hit it off and endured the long-distance relationship experience before Dr. Beazlie moved to Port Orange.
But with the doctor came some accoutrements.
"Tori," a Sulcata tortoise, "was about the size of a quarter" when Dr. Beazlie acquired him five years ago, Ms. Bauwens said.
Now he stretches about a foot and a half across and weighs around 30 pounds.
"I don't know what it is about (reptiles) he likes 'cause I can't imagine anyone liking them, personally," she said.
But Tori has grown on her.
"He follows us around the house like a dog and if you rub his shell he rubs into you," she said.
The couple also has three dogs and a kitten which had a rough start in life.
Possibly the result of premature weaning, Ms. Bauwens said, "Toughy Junior" or TJ for short, suffered from a condition known as mega colon and was in an oxygen chamber for a while.
She went to the office twice a day and fed TJ from her finger.
"She's still on meds but she's gonna make it," Ms. Bauwens said. "She's the cutest kitten in all of America, I swear."
Dr. Beazlie earned a bachelor's degree in animal and poultry science from Virginia Tech University and his Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.
Try as she might, Ms. Bauwens cannot pin him down to a favorite animal.
The man who worked with sea turtles, seals, sharks, otters, fish, crocodiles, alligators, "many species of birds" and Komodo dragons at the Virginia Aquarium; on sheep in Scotland; and with raptors during an internship at the Wildlife Center of Virginia, simply loves them all.
Komodo dragons were one of his favorites to play with, he confessed.
"Most (reptiles) have personalities and some will keep eye contact. Their intelligence was not always recognized, but there wasn't any research out there," he said.
Meet the DAH vets
Dr. Deborah C. Ulbrich graduated with honors from Ross University and completed her clinical rotations at the University of Missouri. She practiced in the Hudson Valley area in New York where she focused on internal medicine and oncology. She is certified to perform veterinary Stem Cell Therapy.
Dr. Thomas W. MacPhail earned a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Ross University and gained invaluable practical experience during his clinical rotation at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Dr. MacPhail has taken a special interest in soft-tissue and orthopedic surgery.
Dr. Sandra Murton received her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Colorado State University in 1993. Since then she has worked in mixed animal practice for six years in Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa before completing a residency program in reproduction at Louisiana State University. S
Dr. Becky Rhoades received her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Colorado State University. Dr. Rhoades is an experienced veterinarian who has spent most of her career focusing on shelter management to improve the welfare of animals.

SP 4449 Excursion on the Siskiyou Line
Please post any comments or questions you have about this article here.
Video link not working
I am trying to view the video associated with this article but the video won't load.
Which version of the magazine, please?
Which version of the magazine, please? Standard or embedded? Mac or PC? Which browser are you using? IE, Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome?
Typical approaches to solving this problem:
1. Try the legacy video playback option on the bottom of the video screen
2. Try a different browser
3. Try a different computer
4. Try rebooting your computer and see if it works any differently
5. Try upgrading your flash player: - click here to check which version you have installed. The first digit needs to be 9 or greater. If the Flash Player version is good (9+) but are still having problems, we found if you uninstall your Flash Player, reboot, and install the latest version of Flash Player fresh, it often solves the problem.
If any of this works, then it will give you a clue as to where the problem is.
We've tested this stuff on multiple computers and it was all working - so the problem's at your end somehow. The trick is finding it.

blip.tv being blocked
We use Opendns to block certain sites and apparently, blip.tv is categorized under, "Adult Themes". I'll change the permissions to allow blip.tv and see if that fixes the problem.
Ah, that's probably it
Yep, that's probably it. Also, if you download the Embedded edition, you won't need to deal with blip.tv at all, since the video content is all embedded into the PDF using Flash.

The 4449 on the Siskiyou is Great
This is a great article about a great Engine. It really brings backs an old memory of the Freedom Train running through the San Fernando Valley in So.Cal when 3 of my buddies and I happened to be riding Honda Dirt Bikes in the Chatsworth Mountains and along the SP main running Tunnels. Thats when we saw the Lights on the other end of a Tunnel we had just entered and spun around to clear the way. We had been hearing the whistle for awhile and just couldn't figure out what was making it. When it came out of the tunnel we couldn't believe it and rode along side of it for a mile on the service road then it went into the next tunnel and I noticed the diesels and all the colorful passenger cars and it even had a caboose all painted up in the freedom colors thanks for bring back that memory.
I really enjoyed the photos of all the different paint schemes over the years and your Video Excursion on the Siskiyou really makes me want to go out and buy that engine. Thanks this Issue of MRH has really out done itself and I've only gotten 33% of the Magazine red.
Rio Grande Dan
I'm very impressed with your modelling. Please tell us how you got realistic sound in stereo!
I just downloaded the highly
I just downloaded the highly detailed HD version and watched for the umpteenth time, and while enjoying all the fantastic detail, sound and just great production, what do my wandering eyes notice, but at 1:04 in, the 2nd mail/baggage car has its rear set of wheels being dragged along. I certainly do not mean to poke holes in anything, especially after all of the hard work and first rate effort of the videos and magazine. But I can't help but feel a little bit "wheww, it's not just me this happens to." Thanks for the reality check! lol
Yep, saw that
Yep, saw that too! Amazing what HD video reveals, aye?
Just after the excursion went around the corner there at Rice Hill, Brandon hollered "hold it! - we're on the ground!"
So yes, a derailment ... obviously, by the time we got to the North Umpqua bridge, everything was back on the track and working great.
As you say, happens to us all now and then ... (wink and grin)

4 Stocks Under $5 Ripping Higher
James River Coal
James River Coal (JRCC) is engaged in processing and selling of thermal and metallurgical coal through eight active mining complexes located throughout eastern Kentucky, southern West Virginia and southern Indiana. This stock is trading up 6.8% to $3.27 in recent trading.
Today's Range: $3.05-$3.3352-Week Range: $1.68-$11.52 Volume: 1.3 million Three-Month Average Volume: 1.55 million >>5 Stocks Poised to Pop on Bullish Earnings From a technical perspective, JRCC is bouncing to the upside here right off some near-term support at $3 with decent volume. This move is quickly pushing JRCC within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit once JRCC manages to clear some near-term overhead resistance at $3.56 to $3.85, and then its 200-day at $4.22 and more past resistance at $4.35 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in JRCC once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 1.55 million shares. If that breakout hits soon, then JRCC will have a great chance of re-testing or possibly taking out its next major overhead resistance levels at $5 to $6.25.

Franks Point of View
"I don't know what to say. I mean I'm really not at all that interesting… I'll probably just bore -…"
"There you guys are!" Mikey cries from Gerard's doorway, two pizza boxes in hand "So Frank, I guess you've met Gerard and look, you're still alive!"
"Uh yeah, I guess I am." I say awkwardly.
"What ya guys doing?" he asks, making his way down the stairs and to the bed, plopping down beside Gerard, discarding the boxes in the middle of the bed.
"Frank was just about to tell me about himself, weren't you Frank?" Gerard says a sly smirk on his face.
"Really guys, I'm not an interesting person. I'm sixteen, my birthday is on Halloween. Uh, I've lived in New Jersey all my life, I currently live with my mum. My dad died when I was fourteen. I pretty much like all the same bands and movies as Mikey, and probably you too Gerard. I hate school. I don't really have any friends, scratch that; I have no friends. Everyone thinks I'm gay but I'm not. And uh that's it." I lie, playing with my fingers, my eyes darting about Gerard's room nervously.
"How did your dad die?" Gerard asks, looking at me through narrowed eyes.
"Car accident." I say through a high voice. Okay, maybe I wasn't telling them the whole story.
"Frank, what are you keeping from us?" Gerard asks. Fuck.
"Nothing." I squeak.
"Frank, tell us. We're you're friends, please tell us." Mikey pleads, worry etched across his face.
"I'm sorry guys, I just can't."
"Frank, if you don't tell us what the fuck happened so help me God I will…" Gerard trails off, threatening me through narrowed eyes.
"Mydadwasanalcoholicandabusedme." I rushed out, looking everywhere but at the two brothers.
"Sorry what?" Gerard asks whilst Mikey stuffs his face with pizza.
I sigh deeply, "My dad, he abused and made me do stuff." I confess, my eyes locked on the bed covers, my eyebrows furrowed.
"He did what?" the two brothers cry. Mikey sends the pizza flying everywhere with his outburst, and I stare at the two brothers; their eyes wide with horror.
"He beat me and made me do stuff I didn't want to do." I said, tears filling my eyes. Did I really trust them with this? How did I know they weren't going to turn around and blame me for all the shit that he done?
"What did he do?" Gerard asks as Mikey stays silent, wearing a worried and concerned expression.
"Well, he was an alcoholic. He would come home every night out his face on alcohol. He'd scream abuse at my mum and then beat her until she was unconscious. Then, when he was done with her he'd come look for me. I was still young; I think I was thirteen when it got really bad. I'd hide anywhere that I would fit; under my bed, under the sink, in the wardrobe; anywhere. If he couldn't find me then he'd threaten me; tell me if I didn't come out he'd kill my mum and make me watch. I got so scared after he said this that I gave up even attempting to hide. So, after he'd found me or after I gave myself up to him, he'd beat me, tell me how much of a mistake I was. Tell me how embarrassing having a fag for a son was, how I didn't deserve to live. Shit like that. Then if he felt like it – and trust me, most nights he would feel like it – he'd make me do stuff. Horrible dirty stuff…" I trail off, staring at nothing as I relive those dreadful nights. I let out a choked sob and hide my face in my hands. "I'm so sorry. Please, don't hurt me." I beg, rocking myself back and forth, my head buried in my knees.
"Frank, Frankie its okay. We're not gonna hurt you. Come here." I hear Gerard say as he gently places his hand on my arm.
I gave a loud squeal and recoil from his touch, my head telling me it was my dad, fearing the worst I scramble backwards and fall off the bed. I curl into a ball on the cluttered floor; my eyes clenched shut; sobbing and shaking.
"Please don't hurt me. Please dad, NO!" I beg, I could feel him all over me; his big dirty hands running down my chest, his drunken breath on my neck.
"Frankie, Frankie please," a beautiful voice pleads, pulling me back into reality, "it's okay, he's not here, he's not here. Frankie please, please come back to us. It's Gerard and Mikey. He's not really here Frankie, please."
I can feel a hand on my back but it's not his, it's not my fathers, this one is gentle, soft and small. I melt into the touch, calming down as they rub small circles on my back.
I sigh as they wrap their arms around me and pick me up, cradling me to their chest as they murmur soft whispers in my ear. I wanted to stay in their arms forever; it just felt so safe, so right. I gave a reluctant whimper as they place me gently on the mattress, don't leave me.
"Wait. D-don't leave me, please." I hear myself plead, reaching an arm out towards where I think Gerard stands.
"Shh. I won't Frankie, I'm right here." He whispers, climbing in beside me and wrapping his arms around me in a warm embrace. I hear the door close shut and a light switch flick as he pulls the warm cover over us. Must be Mikey.
"I-I'm so sorry Gerard." I cry, breaking down into teary sobs.
"It's okay Frankie; you have nothing to be sorry for. I'm right here." He whispers.
"Wait, I-I have to call my mum; tell her where I am." I say and start to get up, only to be pulled back down into Gerard's chest."
"Don't worry Frankie, Mikey will call her."
"Are you sure? She might get worried…"
"If she does or if she wants to speak to you, Mikey will bring the phone down. Now, just sleep." He murmurs into my ear.
I sigh and snuggle deeper into his chest, his scent intoxicating my senses. How could someone be so beautiful? I wonder as he hums me into a deep, dreamless sleep.

Human Teleportation - Is it possible?
Ever since the wheel was invented more than 5,000 years ago, people have been inventing new ways to travel faster from one point to another. The chariot, bicycle, automobile, airplane and rocket have all been invented to decrease the amount of time we spend getting to our desired destinations. Yet each of these forms of transportation share the same flaw: They require us to cross a physical distance, which can take anywhere from minutes to many hours depending on the starting and ending points.
But what if there were a way to get you from your home to the supermarket without having to use your car, or from your backyard to the International Space Station without having to board a spacecraft? There are scientists working right now on such a method of travel, combining properties of telecommunications and transportation to achieve a system called teleportation.
De-materialization of human body is possible?
Closing Statement from Naeem Ikram
I thank everybody for the contribution in this discussion and specially Mr. Meher. The outcome of this discussion is so far was an assumption already, but it would be fair enough to accept the fact that DE-materialization of human body is no where near to possible. May be in coming centuries for Humans. Good luck "Homo Sapiens" !!

So I finally got around to customizing my KO and he could not be happier.
I used the Reprolabels TFP Knock Out sticker set as my starting point on this— I applied almost all of the car mode stickers and more than half of the robot mode ones. Everything else I detailed myself using model paints, mostly Citadel brand, sealed over with a paint-on gloss varnish.
(Quick review of the Reprolabels stickers: Tricky as hell to install, especially if you're a novice, but absolutely worth the hassle in the end. DO watch the videos. DON'T rush. Use your own discretion when applying the robot mode ones— some of them are trying to fix stuff that needs to either be completely painted or just should have been cast in a different color of plastic and IMO look pretty silly because of it.)
One chance to say all the words I never said
and now it's too late
I'm hoping to do something good in the world!

OK, so I know this isn't breaking news or even real huge news for that matter, but I wanted to write a small note about Brad Bergesen's departure to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Baltimore Orioles designated Bergesen for assignment, and he was then picked up by the Diamondbacks on July 20. To most people, this wasn't exactly shocking, but I was always a supporter of Bergy and wanted to pay a quick tribute to the former O.
Bergesen spent his entire 2012 season in Norfolk while a member of the O's organization. He pitched decently, going 4-3 with a 4.03 ERA. He pitched in 22 games and started 10 of them while throwing 80.1 innings. He finally got his first taste of big league action on July 22 against the Houston Astros, as he threw a scoreless inning as a relief pitcher.
I remember when Bergy first came up; he finished the 2009 season strong. I was actually at the game on May 29 against the Detroit Tigers where Bergesen was brilliant, throwing eight innings and allowing only two earned runs (that game also happened to be Matt Wieters' debut). That season didn't start off too well for Bergesen, but after his strong finish, he ended the year going 7-5 with a 3.43 ERA.
2010 saw mixed results for Bergy. Once again, he got off to a bad start, but, like in 2009, he finished strong. Starting in August, Bergesen had an ERA of 6.63. When the season ended, he dropped it down to 4.98. For three consecutive starts in September—against the New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, and Boston Red Sox—Bergesen allowed only one earned run in each.
After his strong finish to 2010, 2011 was to be his year, but, as in his first two seasons in Baltimore, a slow start put him behind the eight ball. After going 1-6 with a 5.36 ERA, Bergy was moved to the bullpen where he had mixed success. Bergesen struggled during his 2012 spring training and started the season in AAA Norfolk, where he spent his whole season before moving to Arizona.
Bergesen relied heavily on his sinker, which when working was downright nasty. Unfortunately, it's effectiveness was sporadic. Bergy was always a great guy and he took the time to answer any questions I had. Hopefully Bergesen will find success in Arizona. Maybe a change of scenery is just what he needs. Here's to wishing him well!
What do you think about Brad Bergesen's departure to the Arizona Diamondbacks? Tell us in comments.

By Tammy Thueringer & Justin Parkinson
Fifty years ago the world's first nuclear-powered cargo-passenger ship sailed from the US to Europe on a publicity tour to persuade the world to embrace the atomic age. It didn't quite work out like that.
Sleek in shape, painted red and white, its interior decorated in what was then ultra-modern chrome, the NS Savannah wasn't quite like any other cargo ship.
It had facilities for passengers. The 600ft, 12,000-ton ship boasted a cinema, veranda bar and swimming pool. The cabins had no curtains. Instead, "polarised" windows, designed to cut glare, lined the sides of staterooms.
The ship was one of the few to spring directly from the imagination of a US president. In 1953, Dwight Eisenhower had made his famous Atoms for Peace speech, attempting to balance the growing fear of nuclear apocalypse with optimism about the possibility of civilian use of atomic energy.
And he wanted an atomic ship. A civilian one.
"A very attractive ship": The NS Savannah, pictured in 1962
The NS Savannah, which cost $50m, was launched 55 years ago this week. It was to be an ambassador of sorts – the world's first nuclear-propelled merchant ship and a symbol of safety and faith in the fuel of the future.
Stan Wheatley was one of those who was excited to be working on the ship. He was in the shipyard while the Savannah was built and served as the chief engineer on its maiden voyage. "The nuclear power system was a prototype, no question, but we were all trained well."
Everyone was aware the ship was supposed to be a beautiful advertisement for nuclear energy.
"It represented the best-looking ship around and it still is a very attractive ship," says Wheatley, now a member of the Savannah Association which works to preserve and protect the decommissioned ship that now sits at a port in Baltimore, Maryland.
