No Indian cricketer has ever been as controversial, as unpredictable, as outspoken, as reckless yet as exhilarating as Lala Amarnath. He remained for decades the 'stormy petrel' of Indian cricket, seemingly forever at loggerheads with the authorities. His cricket always had a touch of genius and around his game hung a halo of romantic brilliant which made him such a crowd pleaser. His colourful personality, his self-esteem and confident bordering on the cocksure, his jaunty, carefree air and his total unpredictability made him a compelling personality. Always fit and athletic, he was a true showman; 'a born exhibitor' was how Berry Sarbadhikari described him.
Lala Amarnath was born on September 11, 1911, at Lahore. His upbringing was rather modest and he began his career as a wicket keeper. It was not till he received the patronage of the Patiala household that he emerged from the shadows. He made his Ranji Trophy debut in 1934-35 for S. Punjab against U.P. but before this he had already become a household name. Against Jardine's M.C.C., at Amritsar, Amarnath played a superb knock of 109 and 'was the first Indian batsman to master Verity who was never quite the same threat again" (E. Docker in History of Indian Cricket). He was promptly included in India's squad for the first Test match to be played on Indian soil, at Hindu Gymkhana, Bombay (now Mumbai).
This Test marked the beginning of Amarnath's passionate Test career. He top scored with 38 in India's total of 219 in the first knock and in the second innings, with uninhibited and brilliant stroke play, inspired by the quiet and comforting presence of C.K.Nayudu at the other and became the first centurion for India and that too on his debut. His 100 came in only 117 minute and he fell to a full blooded hook when on 118. No one really cared whether India won or lost – only Amarnath counted.
Recorded E. Docker in the 'History of Indian Cricket': "Women, it is said, were tearing off their ear rings and other jewellery and throwing it at him. The Gaekwad of Baroda was rumoured to have presented him with 1,000 rupees; the Maharaja of Kolhapur, with 500; a man in the street, with his last six annas. A jaunty young man with a wide grin and a very engaging personality had come to take his place beside C.K.Nayudu in the pantheon of Bombay's cricket heroes."
This single knock earned him praise of the highest order, with C.K.Nayudu, E. H. D. Sewell and all the journalists seeming to compete with one another in singing his praises. Perhaps the young man couldn't take it or maybe he fell on a lean patch, for after this his next two Tests fetched him a total of 47 runs and he ended the series with 203 runs at an average of 40.60. Besides, C.K.Nayudu had detected in him the potential to be a fine bowler and used him in this sphere in the Tests for the first time. Although not a great success, Amarnath proved Nayudu right by harassing the batsman with his wrong foot deliveries and steady line and length.
The whole cricket world, it seemed, was aware of Lala Amarnath. He was clearly first class material as an all-rounder and it was no wonder that the legendary C. G. McCartney of Australia, the veteran of the 1935 Jack Ryder's Australian team, singled out Amarnath as an artist and a great cricketer.
It was with this background that Amarnath set out for England as a youthful but highly talked of member of the Vizzy led Indian team. He started the tour with a bang and hit 3 centuries (2 against Essex, 1 in each innings). He had scored 613 runs and taken 32 wickets and was proving to be by far the best Indian all-rounder when he was shockingly sent back to India on charges of 'insubordination' and 'insolent and improper' behaviour towards the captain and the manager (also mentioned in Vizzy's chapter).
There are different versions of the role played by Vizzy vis-à-vis Brittain Jones, the manager. Some believe that Vizzy was the chief culprit in not accepting the apology whereas other historians believe the major fault was that of the Major. It is contended by the holders of the latter theory that Major Brittain Jones was the real power and Vizzy did not want to oppose him. Brittain Jones, it is contended, exercised his authority, as a member of the Viceroy's staff, against the Indian, who, in his opinion, were people belonging to a subject country. He wanted to rule the team without compassion or thought.
In fact, he is believed to have attempted to magnify the Amarnth episode for political gains in order to prove to the world that even a few Indian cricketers couldn't live as a team, let alone a whole nation. This has to be seen in the light of the Government of India Act, 1935, governing India. Even if Major Jones really had this in mind and used Amarnath as a tool for his politicking, with Vizzy as a not so innocent bystander, it still does not absolve Vizzy of the blame.
Expectedly, the feelings in India about this episode were high. The Indians felt hurt, at the 'sacking' of this great Punjab all-rounder and A. S. DE Mellow narrates in his book, Portrait of Indian Sport, that demonstrations were feared and that he, as the Boards' Secretary, had to 'kidnap' Amarnath with the help of the Pilot's launch before the ship docked and keep the cricketer under cover at as hotel. However, Lala Amarnath himself denies this story.
Keeping in view the feelings of the Indians, attempts were made to have Amarnath sent back to England it is rumoured that the intervention of Lady Willington, on behalf of Major Brittain Jones, nullified the attempts. It will remain as one of the greatest tragedies of Indian cricket that at a time when India needed a cricketer of Amarnath's calibre and form, he was sent back in disgrace.
Initially, the Board President (Nawab of Bhopal) had endorsed the action of the manager and the captain but apparently under threat of public indignation the Board formed the Beaumont Committee, headed by the then Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court, Sir John Beaumont. The Committee included Dr. P. Subbaroyan, the then President of the Madras Cricket Association, and Sir Sikander Hyat Khan, a former Board President. The Committee found the action against Lala to be too severe and stern and thus cleared him.
The rehabilitation of Amarnath was complete when he was re-included in the Indian team under Merchant's captaincy for the 'Tests' against Lord Tennyson's team in 1937-38. He was in great form and hit three centuries (his knock of 123 at Calcutta being a real gem).
All these years he was playing Ranji Trophy and the Quandrangular (later Pentangulars) and was making good runs and taking enough wickets. In 1939, he ended the Bombay tourney with an average of 40.88, having made 695 runs in 10 matches.
The war years intervened with his international cricket and this was a vital period lost for him. But he showed that he had lost none of his magic when he averaged 61.80 in batting and took 15 wickets at 12.73 against Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), as vice-captain to Merchant's Indians. Against the far more powerful Australian Services XI, he averaged 47.33 and his 113 at Madras was a magnificent knock, still talked about in that city by those who were fortunate enough to have seen it.
He was 35 when he toured England under the Nawab of Pataudi in 1946. In the forst post-war Test match, Amarnath who had learnt a lot from Lancashire League cricket, got rid of the cream of the England batting- Hutton, Washbrook, Compton and Hammond. Wrote Terence Prittee of the Guardian: "In Test match, Amarnath is transformed. He develops shrewish venom, a niggling, nagging character- he is bitterly hostile, volted with energy and desperately keen to get on with the game."
With his deceptively short run up, his double hop and his wrong foot deliveries, Amarnath mainly bowled in-swingers. He was always steady in line and length, compelling the batsman to play all the time. Although he failed with the bat (69 runs at 13.80), he topped the bowling averages with 13 wickets at 25.33 apiece. Berry Sarbadhikari, reporting on the tour wrote: "Never before had I seen so much intelligent accuracy in mixing up the late in-swingers with a slight turn from the leg as the Lala produced- I consider him also one of the greatest sticky wicket bowlers anywhere in the world." His performance had helped Pataudi in seeing India put up their best show of 11 matches won, 4 lost and 14 drawn in first class cricket.
With Merchant having dropped out from India's tour to Australia, Amarnath was named the captain of a rather weak and inexperienced Indian team to challenge the Australians in their country. The Australians under Don Bradman were a truly great side and India never had a chance and lost the series 0-4. Despite having a weak team, Amarnath remained his bold, aggressive self and impressed one and all. About his captaincy, there were words of praise from all except Duleepsinhji who was covering the tour for Reuter and who had not got along well on the tour with Amarnath.
Jack Fingleton wrote: "My feelings are to this chap (Amarnath) for his great hearted leadership. There are things he does which in our Australian conception of the game we do not agree with, but that, when all is said and done, is purely only our opinion, and, the fact remains that nobody could do more than what Amarnath has done at critical periods here and many would do much less. He has endeared himself to the Australian public."
More or less similar opinions were expressed by R.S.Whittington who added that the Lala "handled his team like a sheep dog guarding its flock, lost sleep and more avoirdupois in its service."
India's performance and Amarnath's captaincy must be seen in the light of the fact that India were minus Merchant, Modi, Mushtaq and Fazal and that Australian in 1948 crushed England and returned home without a single defeat on the England tour.
Amarnath, on this tour, was simply superb with his batting in the first-class matches. In fact, only he and Hazare ended the tour with more than 1000 runs. With superb footwork, exquisite square cuts and drives he captured the hearts of the Australians. His brilliant knock of 228 not-out against Victor was hailed as "one of the greatest ever played" by Victor Richardson and Jack Fingleton labelled it as "one of the most entertaining innings seen in the century on the famous Melbourne ground."
Unfortunately, Amarnath lost his batting form in the Tests but he bowled and led magnificently. Wrote Jack Fingleton about the tour in general and about Amarnath in particular: "Amarnath was by far the most reliable Tests bowler. It was indeed remarkable that against the brilliant array of Australian batsman, Bradman, Morris, Barnes, Hassett, Miller, Brown, Tallon, Lindwall and the rest Amarnath should have bowled 125 Test overs at a cost of only 366 runs, securing most wickets at an average of 28.1 apiece. No one in Australia had quite seen a bowler like Amarnath before. He skipped in his last yard to the crease and bowled off the wrong foot. He was a disconcerting bowler. Every now and then he did the unexpected with the ball, moving it a little either way and he had always constantly to be watched. He was an object lesson, always in his length. Amarnath was truly magnificent in the early part of the tour (as a batsman). He not only made runs in copious and consistent numbers but he made them with the grace of an artist. He was a delight to watch. He made an instant appeal to the discerning Australian spectators but just when he needed his form most, in the Tests, it faded from him. This was sad, indeed. No one tried harder or was more conscientious in his practice than the captain.
The tour was singularly free incidents and a credit to Amarnath, as skipper. The Indians in popularity have never been superseded in Australia. They played brightly always and conducted themselves perfectly. They were good crowd pleasers and attracted splendid gates."
Even Duleepsinhji, not a very welcome visitors to the Indian dressing room in Australia, conceded that "the Australians say that with their bright batting the Indians brought a great draught of fresh air into their cricket which was tending to become a dour, solid, relentless game." Amarnath certainly deserves credit for creating this impression amongst the Australians.
Despite India's loss by 0-4 to Australia, Amarnath emerged from the series with distinction and honour and was made India's captain against the West Indians in 1948. Again, Amarnath's dynamic and aggressive leadership earned dividents and India pushed West Indies hard. Had it not been for the gross time wasting tactics of the West Indians and the blunder of the umpires in calling off play earlier than the scheduled close at Bombay, India might have evened the series 1-1. Although he was not very successful in getting wickets (3 for 263), he bowled with his customary steadiness on the easy paced wickets and served as a useful stock bowler. His batting was consistent, if not spectacular, (although his 39 in the 2nd innings at Bombay was a great, swashbuckling knock which set the tone for the Indians chase of runs, a knock which Vijay Hazare rated very highly) and he scored 294 runs at an average of 36.75, with 62 at Delhi in the first Test being his highest.
India had lost the series 0-1 but were not disgraced and certainty Amarnath as a player as well as a captain had done splendidly. Hazare described his captaincy as "brilliant", at times belligerent, original and unpredictable.
But trouble for Amarnath was round bend. Hazare had also remarked rightly about Amarnath's "tendency to harp on extraneous matters (which) often led him into trouble (and) affected his cricket. Amarnath carried his impetuous nature into cricket."
In April, 1949, after the West Indies tour, Amarnath had made typically impetuous and forthright comments about Indian cricket and had put the blame for the ills of Indian cricket squarely on the Cricket Control Board of India. Anthony de Mello, the Board President, couldn't swallow this and labblled Amarnath for "no less than 23 alleged acts of indiscipline" and although officially the Lala was cleared of blames, after having submitted a so-called apology, he, by having fallen out with de Mellow, was not considered as India's captain against the Commonwealth team and Merchant was reinstated as India's skipper. When Merchant gave up the captaincy midway through the tour, Hazare took on and led India against England in 1951-52. Amarnath played in only 3 Tests, totalling only 67 runs at 16.75 and 3 wickets for 207 runs and it appeared that his playing days were over. He was overlooked for India's tour to England in 1952 and Hazare continued to captain India. But Hazare was not successful as India's captain in England.
Wisden had remembered: 'With all due respect to Hazare, a though gentleman and a great cricketer, he was far from the ideal captain. His shy, retiring disposition did not lend itself to forceful authority. During play he made few mistakes, but lacked the inspiration which can revitalise a struggling team. Off the field he did not relish the responsibility that goes with captaincy."
India needed someone with more dash, verve and leadership qualities for their first ever series against Pakistan. Meanwhile, de Mello's days in the Board had ended and Vizzy had returned to power in the Board's hierarchy. Amarnath narrowly defeated Hazare for the post of captaincy and promptly produced results as Pakistan were crushed by an innings in the first Test. Minus some of their stalwarts and despite a fine back to the wall unbeaten 61 by Amarnath, Pakistan won the Lucknow Test by an innings. The tigres in Amarnath had been aroused. With 'attack at all costs' as his policy, backing uo his own great spell of 4-40 and centuries by Hazare and Umigar, Indian won the Bombay Test by an innings and thereby the series, Madras and Culcutta Tests having ended as draws. Amarnath, however, had once again fallen foul of the authorities and he came to know at Madras itself that Hazare had been re-elected captain for India's tour to the West Indies in 1953. He, therefore, wanted to drop out in favour of Hazare at Calcutta. An understandably bitter Amarnath blamed it all on Vizzy and was not chosen even as a member of Hazare's squad to the West Indies. The flashing meteor that had illuminated the Indian cricket horizon for decades, faded, rather unceremoniously and unsung, into oblivion.
Lala Amarnath was a complete alrounder, an intelligent bowler of immaculate length, variety and hostility; a batsman who tursted his eyes and natural ability and whose footwork was breathtaking; an agile fielder in any position; a wicket keeper of no mean standard (as he proved at Calcutta in 1948-49), and above all, a bold, intuitive, inspiring and attacking captain, a born skipper..
N. S. Ramaswami, in a particularly moving piece, wrote thus: "Amarnath was a fullblooded cricketer. He would taste it to all the experiences of the game; he would explore it to its depth, not afraid to follow wherever it may lead. At the wicket he was less a batsman than a storm. He would pounce upon the bowler and scatter him to all parts of the ground. He was as much as a problem to the batsman as he was to the bowler. A pure romantic, the Byron of Indian Cricket."
As is so often the case with such cricketers, he never bothered about figures and it is small wonder that Tests statistics do not do him justice. His greatest success came in the form of captaincy and he remains, to this day, one of the best captains India has ever produced. He had everything in him to be a good captain – ability, knowledge, flair, confidence, and a strange almost rustic and inbred spontaneous sense. His experience and his understanding of the behaviour (he is reputed to be the best till today) and his will to succeed and attack remains unmatched. Only 'Tiger' Pataudi has, at times, shown instincts matching the Lala.
He continued playing Ranji Trophy cricket for the Railways till well past his half century, retaining his fitness and zest all through. He also served as Chariman of the Selection Committee for a number of years and was India's manager for the 1955 Pakistan tour.
His forthright comments and his knowledgeable opinions made him a well sought cricket writer and later on a Radio and TV broadcaster. As a senior colleague in the commentator's box, he is great company, helpful but retaining his controversial nature because of his fondness of predicting the results of the game- a highly unconventional thing to do.
At first, one is interested by the fact that the Lala is not as popular as he should have been but as one gets to know him better it becomes easy to understand; for he is a man who has an strange ability of calling a spade a shovel, with an inborn hatred for diplomacy and a directness and forthrightness that is most disquieting. He is aware that these 'qualities' of his have caused damage not only to him but also to the careers of his illustrious sons (Surinder and Mohinder), particularly the latter (shelved after a fine debut in 1969). Yet, one often gets the feeling that he likes being controversial – sometimes deliberately so. Like his batting, even today, he remains a character who lives by the sword and would like to perish by it.
Perhaps Vijay Hazare summed him up right when he said of him': "A great cricketer and a genius. With all this he still remained a mystery, possibly on of the unsolved mysteries of cricket."

Commission agrees with code changes
Date: April 16, 2010
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Mayor George Spoll, Vice Mayor Jim Brown and Commissioners David Brenner and Lynn Larson moved the list of seven town code clarifications and changes suggested by The Longboat Key Club and Resort forward to for a first reading 9 a.m. Monday, May 3, at Town Hall.
Commissioners Gene Jaleski, Robert Siekmann and Hal Lenobel did not support the decision because they do not support all of the seven code suggestions being proposed.
Mayor George Spoll, however, noted that moving all seven changes forward would allow for more discussion. At that meeting, the commission will review each proposed change individually and either approve or disapprove the changes.
The seven proposed clarifications to the code submitted to the town, club attorney John Patterson said, will eliminate code ambiguities and move the project forward to a Town Commission vote without much of the legal challenges presented to the commission by attorneys for the Islandside Property Owners Coalition, which opposes the project.
IPOC attorney Michael Furen said Friday that he believes all seven changes to the code were major policy changes that would impact the Key.
Jaleski, Siekmann and Lenobel expressed issues with granting a code change that allows hotels and other accessory uses the club is proposing to not be subject to a 5% limitation on non-accessory commercial development of the gross area of the Islandside planned-unit development.

UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- Martin Brodeur isn't the only New Jersey Devils goalie who knows a thing or two about shutouts.
Veteran backup Johan Hedberg made 22 saves for his 22nd career blanking, and Steve Bernier scored two of New Jersey's three third-period goals in the Devils' 3-0 victory over the New York Islanders on Sunday.
The game was scoreless until Bernier broke the deadlock with a power-play goal with 3:54 remaining. He doubled New Jersey's lead just 1:10 later, and David Clarkson sealed the win with an empty-net goal in the final minute as the Devils snapped a four-game losing streak (0-1-3).
"We're going to have to have contributions from all kinds of different people," Devils coach Pete DeBoer said. "It's nice to be able to get the win."
Hedberg's biggest save came 8:08 into the third period when he denied Michael Grabner on a short-handed breakaway.
"He had a few breakaways against us, especially short-handed," Hedberg said of the speedy Grabner. "Just tried to come out and try to match his speed as (well) as possible.
"He's one of the quickest players in the world, I think. I haven't seen him do that move before. I've seen him shoot, I've seen him go to the backhand and now something else."
Evgeni Nabokov was strong in making 24 saves for New York. His best stop was 2:05 into the second when he snared a drive by Patrik Elias following Brian Strait's giveaway in the Islanders zone.
"He played well. Kept us in, especially in the second period when they gained some momentum," Islanders coach Jack Capuano said. "(New Jersey) came at us pretty hard. I thought both goalies played well. Nabby gave us a chance to win the game."
However, he couldn't stop Bernier's rebound putback of Adam Henrique's shot that was blocked in front.
Bernier struck again soon after with his second of the game and third of the season -- all against the Islanders.
"We were buzzing around on the power play and we (shot) the puck and go for the rebound. That's exactly what happened," Bernier said. "On the second, our line (Stephen Gionta and Ryan Carter) did a great job on the forecheck. We were able to keep the puck in.
"I was trying to put the puck in the right places in front of Nabby where I (would) be able to get the rebound and the puck went in. It's great. Obviously great work by everybody on the ice."
The teams took turns controlling playing throughout the first 55 minutes. New York outshot the Devils 10-7 in a high-tempo first period, and New Jersey clamped down on defence in the second.
New Jersey killed all seven New York power plays. The Islanders stifled the Devils' first two advantages before Bernier broke through with the winning goal on New Jersey's third power play.
The Islanders generated only five shots in their 11:30 of power-play time. New York entered the day with the NHL's most potent power play.
"We can't get too frustrated. We had our opportunities on the power play," Capuano said. "They came a little bit more aggressive, I thought. They probably made a few adjustments, but again I thought we got in the zone in our entries the way that we had to but after that there was no energy.
"They were winning all the puck battles. We weren't moving our feet. We weren't functioning properly."
NOTES: New York scratched defencemen Joe Finley and Radek Martinek, and RW Colin McDonald. New Jersey scratched defencemen Peter Harrold and Henrik Tallinder, and C Stefan Matteau. .The Islanders and Devils will play twice more this season -- Feb. 16 at Nassau Coliseum, and April 1 in New Jersey. ...

Ah, as an engineer, I always have my parachute cloak on. I love being able to use it whenever I can, including dismounting at random intervals and popping it. Sometimes, however, I pop it WAY to early.
It takes me about 15 seconds to figure out that that last 15 seconds isn't just going to be enough to get me to the ground.
It's kinda exciting though, a gamble.
My favorite way to glide is running out of Dalaran sewers. Sometimes I can ground, and sometimes I splat. It's always fun though.
That's actually the source of my favorite death: I was exploring Winterspring, and managed to get up on a cliff in Darkwhisper, overlooking Azshara. I figured: "Hey, why not?" and took a running leap, my finger carefully positioned over the button to hit my parachute. As I moved the mouse slightly, to get a better angle for a screenshot, my hand slipped, hitting the parachute just a few seconds into the dive. I drifted down, outward, watching the seconds tick away on the buff, then fell for what seemed like days.
It's amazing how long a drop that is...
I used that for almost a minute of pure free-falling, but fortunately, timed it right. Flew to the sky ceiling over Storm Peaks, directly over the Engine of the Makers. Began dropping. If I recall correctly it was about 30 seconds before I hit the surface level of Storm Peaks, and then another 15 or so until I saw the bottom of the Engine rushing at me. Waiting as long as I could, I then hit my 'chute cloak, and coasted safely to the ground, a minute later than when I'd started my free-fall.
WoW Base Jumping. Gotta love it.
I've done that too. One of my favorite things is to use my Nitro Boosts and then jump off something and hit my Cloak. Well, this week the Daily was Jaraxxus, so I used my Wormhole Generator and went to Icecrown (as engineers know this takes you almost all the way to the Tourney, you end up on a tiny ledge in the mountains just to the west). I did my normal Turbo Chute Jump and was quickly on my way to the Raid.
One problem, you can't make that jump if you hit your chute right away, you fall just too far to live. I remembered this with about 10 seconds left and I was still above the tree tops, it really has been too long since I a) went to Trial of the Crusader and b) played my engineer for anything other than dailies and holidays. lol

Taking a Pal to "Friendship Court"
Guest blogger Leslie Adler: Lisa from New York writes, "I want my day in court!!" Check out the details of part two in our series.
"I lost my Wall Street job two months ago and have since been unable to find work. I brought in a substantial part of our household income and Jennifer (my supposed BFF) knew that. I am basically freaking out and wondering how my family is going to continue to make ends meet -- and Jennifer, while she does ask how I am doing and takes an interest in my job search, keeps telling me about her purchases (shoes and clothes and extravagant holiday gifts for her kids) and her upcoming holiday trip. I think she is being an insensitive jerk, but I am afraid if I say something, I will be the one that sounds jealous. As we say in New York, "Whaddya think?" Signed "Wall Street Wannabee"
Leslie Adler: I rule in favor of you Wall Street Wannabee, but I don't think that this is a punishable offense. Jennifer is being an insensitive jerk, but I am assuming, if she truly is your BFF, that she is acting without malice (if you don't believe that to be true, then you need a new friend!). Maybe Jennifer doesn't understand the gravity of your situation and is just going on as if it were "business as usual." My advice ... tell her the truth. I know, it's a radical idea, but it works. You should be able to tell a BFF that the loss of your job is causing you much anxiety and that even though you are happy that the state of our economy is not negatively impacting her, when she talks about purchases and vacations you cannot currently afford, she is stressing you out. A true BFF will understand. Here's hoping you find a job soon and thanks for Telling It To The Vuv at The Friendship Court!!
Tell us about a squabble or a split between you and a friend -- and let the Vuv decide!!

Perfect advice, Leslie!
I doubt if your friend is trying to rub her purchases in your face. I am betting that as you have been friends for a long period of time and that when you lost your job it did not change her view of you and she therefore talks to you the same as she always has. She probably does not want to start treating you different so that you think she sees you differently now that you may be in a different social class.

Her talents might not be quite as recognized as powerhouses Venus and Serena Williams, at least not these days anyway, but this woman can play. The great thing about Maria is that she genuinely seems confident in her talents. She looks happiest on the court and I love that. I love seeing a gorgeous woman enjoying what she does and there's no doubt, Maria enjoys what she does. She might take a nasty fall every now and again, but she always gets back up.

Crystal balling the Air Force.
Monday - 7/27/2009, 11:56am EDT
In 2047, the 100th anniversary of the U.S. Air Force, there's a good chance that unmanned aircraft will play a bigger role than ever. Officials say the "Unmanned Aircraft Systems Flight Plan" recognizes that pilots on the ground still operate the U-A-Vs, as they're called. The advantage is that they can fly over fixed positions for long periods of time, something you can't do when a human being is in the plane.

We've built the world's most comprehensive career test. Our questionnaire measures over 180 traits to match you against 500+ careers. Our mission is to help you find your calling in life.
songs descend from above, I just write them down- a gifted song creator/ lyricist
first and for most , this career is one that needs both talent and well.. to be driven , at the very least the lyricist must at least be able to make lyrics rhythmic and matching with the music , they do not necessarily need to play instruments but must at least have a basic knowledge of notes.. if they are able to compose and sing its great but they stand out just great even if they just write lyrics... they are a part of why a song becomes a success.. because their lyrics create a story and also emotion in a song.. certain people that can write creative stories are able to write lyrics .. to put it simple it's definitely something where talent and hard work is important.. just like singing, people who don't have this lyric talent , might or might not be able to succeed in writing good lyrics.. ofcourse people who can write great lyrics sooner or later eventually will be able to write for Big shot producers/ composer whereas people who are not so talented/ do not hv this gift can write as a hobby/ leisure.
What's great about being a Lyricist is having the ability to fully express yourself. All of art is like this, but lyricism/music in particular is one of the greatest mediums for conveying human emotion through words and sounds. The potential power to change or truly affect a life (no small feat) is one of the many joys that comes with being a lyricist, and the better you are at it, the more effective you have the potential to be! The key is to remain genuine. Even if it's not necessarily your own experience you're writing about, let it be a genuine enough experience, from someone you know, something you heard/saw, or even something you created; it doesn't matter. The key is that it's genuine. Express away!

Many of the businesses in Denton are empty and some owners say a construction project is to blame.
"Our sales have gone down 50% and for my partner here, Tom Wooster, his car dealership, we had not sold a car in over 3 months, so what he actually ended up doing was auctioning off all his vehicles and he's not buying anymore for his car dealership here until Denton Roads open," Nebraska Nail Academy owner Karla Gibbs said.
A three mile stretch of West Denton Road has been closed since March, but it's a big project.
The Lancaster County Engineering Department says it basically consists of rebuilding the entire road from the ground up, making it wider, adding shoulders and putting in new culverts.
Which means it takes time.
Bridge engineer Virgil Dearmont said in an official statement: "I'm sorry for the inconvenience. For the working day contract, my best prediction is the 20th of September as of today."
But with the threat of rain delays, and income already declining, some business owners are worried about losing business during their busiest season.
"I'm sure it will be down, I'm sure it will be, mid–September is about hunting season, so we need it to be open by then," Deb Moreno said.
But until then, businesses are in need of some more traffic.
"Oh it hurts, it hurts, we opened the Nebraska Nail Academy three months ago. We haven't seen any need to do any advertising because nobody wants to come out here right now," Gibbs said.

Ewing Sarcoma Treatment (PDQ®): Treatment - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Treatment Option Overview
The duration of primary chemotherapy ranges from 6 months to approximately 1 year. A randomized clinical trial (COG-AEWS0031 [NCT00006734]) from the Children's Oncology Group showed that for patients presenting without metastases, the administration of cycles of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and vincristine alternating with cycles of ifosfamide and etoposide at 2-week intervals achieved superior EFS (5-year EFS, 73%) than alternating cycles at 3-week intervals (5-year EFS, 65%).[20]
Local control for Ewing sarcoma
Treatment approaches for Ewing sarcoma titrate therapeutic aggressiveness with the goal of maximizing local control while minimizing morbidity.
While surgery is effective and appropriate for patients who can undergo complete resection with acceptable morbidity, children who have unresectable tumors or who would suffer loss of function are treated with radiation therapy alone. Those who undergo gross resections with microscopic residual disease may benefit from adjuvant radiation therapy. Randomized trials that directly compare both modalities do not exist, and their relative roles remain controversial. Although retrospective institutional series suggest superior local control and survival with surgery rather than radiation therapy, most of these studies are compromised by selection bias. Data for patients with pelvic primary Ewing sarcoma from a North American intergroup trial showed no difference in local control or survival based on local-control modality—surgery alone, radiation therapy alone, or radiation plus surgery.[21]
For patients who undergo gross total resection with microscopic residual disease, the value of adjuvant radiation therapy is controversial. Investigations addressing this issue are retrospective and nonrandomized, limiting their value. Investigators from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital reported 39 patients with localized Ewing sarcoma who received both surgery and radiation. Local failure for patients with positive and negative margins was 17% and 5%, respectively, and overall survival (OS) was 71% and 94%, respectively.[13] However, in a large retrospective Italian study, 45 Gy adjuvant radiation therapy for patients with inadequate margins did not appear to improve either local control or disease-free survival.[14] It is not known whether higher doses of radiation therapy could improve outcome. These investigators concluded that patients who are anticipated to have suboptimal surgery should be considered for definitive radiation therapy.
Thus, surgery is chosen as definitive local therapy for suitable patients, but radiation therapy is appropriate for patients with unresectable disease or those who would experience functional compromise by definitive surgery. The possibility of impaired function needs to be measured against the possibility of second tumors in the radiation field (see below). Adjuvant radiation therapy should be considered for patients with residual microscopic disease, inadequate margins, or who have viable tumor in the resected specimen and close margins.
When preoperative assessment has suggested a high probability that surgical margins will be close or positive, preoperative radiation therapy has achieved tumor shrinkage and allowed surgical resection with clear margins.[22]

Through this lesson, students will learn what organisms are affected by ocean acidification by taking on the role of one of the stakeholders affected by ocean acidification and creating poster(s) to address their issue(s). They will then participate in a mock conference to address the affects of ocean acidification and discuss solutions to reduce ocean acidification.
Through this lesson, students will:
How does ocean acidification affect marine life?
What is causing the oceans to become more acidic?
Who is affected by ocean acidification? Who affects ocean acidification?
What is ocean acidification?
Recently, scientists have discovered that the chemistry of the ocean is changing. Because of higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) being released into the atmosphere, more carbon dioxide is being absorbed by the oceans than ever before. This diffused CO2 undergoes a chemical reaction that forms carbonic acid, which lowers the pH of seawater in the process called ocean acidification. (Remember that acidity and pH are inversely related; the lower the pH, the more acidic the solution.) This acidification leads to a reduction of available carbonate ions that form calcium carbonate, the material many marine organisms use to create their shells and skeletons. Not only does acidification make it more difficult for these animals to make their shells, but it also can lead to the weakening or destruction of already formed shells (Australian Academy of Science, 2008; Guinotte & Fabry, 2008; Orr, et al, 2005; The Royal Society, 2005; Usha 2006).
There are natural fluctuations in the flow of carbon dioxide throughout the atmosphere and the oceans. However, since the industrial revolution humans have been increasing the rate at which carbon dioxide is released. The largest source of this increase is due to the burning of fossil fuels, which releases CO2; however, other actions such as deforestation also contribute to CO2 release. As carbon dioxide is released in the atmosphere, the ocean acts to restore equilibrium between the concentration of CO2 dissolved in the water and that which is present in the air, acting as a carbon dioxide sink that absorbs this greenhouse gas. In fact, around one quarter of the CO2 released into the atmosphere each year is absorbed by the ocean[1].
Diagram (left): Under normal conditions in ocean water between a pH of 7.9-8.2, the ionic forms of carbonic acid are present mostly in the forms of bicarbonate (HCO3-) and carbonate (CO32-). The water is "saturated" with as much carbonate as it can hold, so organisms can easily combine carbonate ions and dissolved calcium ions – which are also in regular supply – to create calcium carbonate shells and skeletons. However, under the more acidic situation represented in the diagram the equilibrium reactions shift in the directions indicated by the thicker arrows. Notice how carbonate is being taken up by all the excess hydrogen ions, making carbonate less available to organisms.
Some of the carbon that is dissolved into seawater from the atmosphere is taken up by photosynthetic organisms such as phytoplankton and algae during photosynthesis (just as it would be on land by plants). The remainder of the carbon dioxide diffuses into the ocean and becomes part of a complex series of acid-base equilibrium reactions. In a healthy system of ocean water at a pH around 8, this absorption of carbon dioxide by seawater leads to the creation of a relatively large amount of bicarbonate (HCO3-) ions and a relatively small amount of carbonate ions (CO32-). Organisms then use this carbonate, along with the calcium (Ca2+) also dissolved in seawater to create their calcium carbonate (CaCO3) skeletons and shells. Unfortunately, the excess of carbon dioxide being absorbed by the oceans is leading to a drop in pH, or increased acidity of seawater, which tips the acid-base equilibrium to favor the formation of bicarbonate (HCO3-) ions. As pH lowers, the scale continues to tip, this time in favor of more carbonic acid (H2CO3). This limits organisms' access to carbonate ions (CO32-), which are needed to form their calcium carbonate (CaCO3) shells and skeletons. A good description of what is occurring chemically can be found here: http://theotherco2problem.wordpress.com/what-happens-chemically.
How has the ocean changed over time?
Ocean acidity has increased by 30% since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. This increase is 100 times faster than any change in acidity experienced by marine organisms for at least the last 200 million years. Half of this increase has occurred in the last 30 years.[2] This increasing rate of acidification has implications for marine life.
Many shells and skeletons are made up of calcium carbonate and grow continuously throughout most animals' lives. These protective coverings allow animals to survive attacks by predators and withstand harsh conditions. Shells are a necessity of life for these animals. Furthermore, many animals with shells, such as certain types of plankton and many mollusks, are found near the bottom of the ocean food chain. Three kinds of plankton, cocolithophores, pteropods, and foraminiferans, have calcium carbonate shells. Without essential carbonate, these organisms wouldn't be able to grow, reproduce, and be food for other organisms. As a result, declines in their population have the potential to impact the animals that depend on them for food and serve as an indicator of the health of ocean environments.
How does ocean acidification affect us?
The increasing acidity of the ocean affects us in a few major ways. Around 5% of the world's protein comes from the oceans through fishing. Because many of the organisms in the bottom of the food chain have calcium carbonate skeletons, a decrease in these populations has the potential to decrease the populations of animals higher up in the food chain as well.
Corals are animals that also have calcium carbonate skeletons. If corals did not have the carbonate needed for them to create their skeletons, they would not be able to continue to build the coral reefs that many game fish use as their home or hunting grounds. Many of the marine animals that we eat (fish, shellfish) are therefore either directly affected, or indirectly affected by increased acidification.
In addition to affecting our food supply, increased acidification can affect how we use the ocean for recreation. Many tropical countries rely on tourism to their coral reefs. Without carbonate, these coral reefs would begin to decline, potentially causing a drop in tourism. Not only would the economy suffer, but people wouldn't have this recreational outlet. Many people and cultures have a deep connection with the ocean and this connection will be threatened as the health of the ocean continues to decline.
What is causing ocean acidification?
Ocean acidification is occurring due to the increased amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide exists naturally in the atmosphere (for example, we breathe our CO2). However, human activity has been increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere since the industrial revolution through the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil. Fossil fuels currently provide more than 85% of all the energy consumed in the US. Almost half of our electricity is from coal burning power plants, and virtually all of our transportation relies on the burning of fossil fuels[3].
What are misperceptions people may have regarding ocean acidification?
Note that the term ocean acidification refers to the process of the lowering of the ocean's pH level, not the end state of the ocean turning into an acid. Depending on location and conditions, ocean pH currently stands in the high 7s and low 8s, and should not fall below 7. Why? Because each year, the oceans experience runoff of alkaline substances from the land, adding base that neutralizes some of the acidity. The problem arises around the ion equilibrium for carbonic acid at a pH of 7, which disfavors the carbonate ion form. One could even refer to ocean acidification as the process that makes ocean water "less basic or less alkaline."
What is being done currently?
Ocean acidification and its impacts have only recently come into the public eye and is a relatively new area of study. An informal review of literature available online resulted in the following list of actions being done to either learn more about ocean acidification and its effects or directly affect the amount of CO2 being released in the atmosphere. The following items were found to be true as of January 2011, but keep in mind that the field is progressing and changing rapidly.

Movement Analysis: The Pathway to Victory, a Review of Supreme Court LGBT Cases
Report Type:
September 13, 2013
This summer the United States Supreme Court handed down its most sweeping LGBT rights case to date. In striking down the Defense of Marriage Act's (DOMA) definitions of marriage and spouse, the Court found that DOMA instructs same-sex couples "that their marriage is less worthy than the marriages of others," and held that these restrictions on the federal recognition of marriage violate the U.S. Constitution. This ruling highlights how the Court's treatment of LGBT people has monumentally shifted in just 27 years from when it first held that states could criminalize sodomy.3 Inspired by the ruling in United States v. Windsor, I decided to take a look back at the five cases that created the historical path that led the Court to where we are today.

SALISBURY, Md. - Giant Food is once again feeding those in need.
This month is hunger action month, and to go out with a bang, they're asking everyone to donate non perishable food items as well as personal care items. All stores are participating in the food drive all weekend long starting Friday. Officials say they see a real need, especially in our local community.
"It's really important if everyone can come out and donate this month. All the food goes to local charities here, Maryland Food Bank, and the Delaware stores collecting goes to the Delaware Food Bank," said Mark Rhodes, Store Manager of the Giant Food in Salisbury, Maryland.
Last year, Giant donated hundreds of thousands of pounds of food to the Mid-Atlantic Region.

On Wednesday, People magazine released new details on Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel 's Italian wedding, including the first photo of the newlyweds.
The gossip website Gawker also reported an interesting tidbit about the wedding on Wednesday: a video of homeless people wishing the couple well was screened at the ceremony.
Gawker says the video was produced by Justin's real estate agent friend, Justin Huchel , and begins with a title card that reads, "Greetings from your Hollywood friends who just couldn't make it."
The title card is followed by taped messages from what appears to be homeless people in Los Angeles. One man remarks, "Justin and Jessica, I haven't seen you for a long time. My gift is in the mail."
Gawker describes some of the other participants as "obviously intoxicated, mentally ill, or both, and at least one of them is entirely incapable of speaking."
The video runs for a total of eight minutes and 30 seconds. A 20-second clip is posted on Gawker's website.
The site also posts a letter from Huchel's lawyer, which claims that the video was stolen and that, "Mr. Huchel made [the] video to be used and exhibited privately at Justin Timberlake's wedding as a private joke without Mr. Timberlake's knowledge." The letter advises Gawker to stop showing any part of the video, or face possible legal action.
Timberlake and Biel married last week at the Borgo Egnazia resort in southern Italy in a ceremony that reportedly cost 6.5 million dollars.

When you hear about norovirus, it's usually because of an outbreak on a cruise ship but it can actually affect you anywhere.
About 20 million people get sick from norovirus each year, most from close contact with infected people or by eating contaminated food.
Norovirus often gets attention for outbreaks on cruise ships, but those account for only about 1 percent of all reported norovirus outbreaks.
Norovirus is very contagious, and outbreaks can occur anywhere people gather or food is served.

Most dogs are loving, devoted companions, but any dog may bite if provoked. The Ontario SPCA is very concerned about biting incidents
and believes that understanding dog behaviour and practicing responsible dog care can be major steps towards bite prevention. The Society aims to make interactions between humans and dogs as safe and enjoyable as possible.
It isn't only "bad" dogs who bite. Dogs often bite when they are sick, injured or afraid. Some also bite to protect
their homes, families, food and toys.
Different dogs react differently in each situation, so always be cautious, especially with dogs you don't know. It's important to be aware of situations which may frighten or threaten a dog. A neighbour's normally
friendly dog may become aggressive if someone enters the house unannounced or if a child reaches through a fence to touch the dog.

About 100 years ago, residents of a portion of Woodmere united to maintain roads, improve street lighting and set local laws. On Nov. 8, 1912, Woodsburgh became the third village in the Five Towns to incorporate.
The current board and residents of the village, along with other elected officials, gathered on Sunday at the site of the Culluloo Telewana Monument to celebrate the centennial of the place they call home.
"After 100 years of development, Woodsburgh is still one of the loveliest residential areas on the South Shore of Long Island," said Susan Schlaff, who has served as mayor since 1994.
Officials chose the site of the Telewana Monument — which Abraham Hewlett built to honor who he believed was the last of the Rockaway Iroquois — because it is an area of the village "where many roads converge," said Village Trustee Lee Israel. The village recently beautified the site of the monument "to make it a place people can be proud of," Israel added. To mark the occasion, village officials will soon bury a time capsule containing pictures and other paraphernalia in a site to be determined (to prevent premature excavation).
Town Councilman James Darcy pointed to other historical occasions of 1912 — the forming of the Republic of China, the sinking of the Titanic, the establishment of the Girl Scouts — but one in particular, he said, was most akin to the incorporation of Woodsburgh.
"When you stop and think about it, the forming of this village and the invention of Oreos have a lot in common," he said. "At the center of an Oreo, there's that extra special something that makes us all happy. And at the center of this village is that special something that makes everybody want to live here."
No one knows that better than the 778 people who reside in Woodsburgh.
"We love it here," said Phillip Esqian, an 11-year resident of the village. "This is the greatest community in the world."
Fred Schorstein, who was recognized by the village for his help with the centennial celebration, has lived in the village for 42 years.
"It is a beautiful place," he said. "Where would I want to go that's better than this?"

How to photograph ink drops in water
Unique, impossible to recreate and infinitely creative; ink drop photography is a beautifully engaging art. And what's more, it's surprisingly easy to do yourself.
Shopping list
You really don't need a great deal of equipment to get going with ink drop photography. As with any specialist technique you can spend a fortune on a flashy kit, but before you lay out hundreds of pounds on macro lenses why not take a trial run first? You'll need:
- a selection of different coloured inks
- a medicine dropper or pipette
- a fish tank or a large glass container
- a large piece of white paper or a soft box
- a strong light
- a camera with manual focus
- manually operated flash.
Step one
You need to make sure that your fish tank is absolutely spotless; stains can cause unwanted reflections. Next fill the tank with water and position your camera on the tripod in front of it. Put your light into position and switch it on. Look through the viewfinder to check for any reflections. If you spot them you'll need to give your tank another once over in the wash. It may feel like hassle now, but it's much quicker to do this than to comp out water spots and dirt later.
Step two
At this point take the white paper and cover three sides of the tank completely. Alternatively, you can also place your fish tank in front of a white wall. This approach means you'll need to spend more time on test shots in order to work out the angle to position your flash to ensure that the light reflects back from the wall, through the fish tank to the lens. It's easier and more time efficient to use paper when you're starting out.
Step three
Fill your fish tank with cold water. This will make the ink travel more slowly and extend the time it takes to fall to the bottom of the tank. The slower the ink travels, the more time you have to snap – it will also help reduce your ink usage.
Step four
Change your camera to manual mode. You will need to set your camera to a wide aperture in order to control the amount of light the lens allows to strike the sensor. Set your shutter to bulb mode and select the lowest possible ISO.
Step five
It helps to have another person working with you; one person to control the ink droplets and trigger the camera and another to operate the flash manually. If you're working alone you are going to need a remote control to operate your camera.
Step six
Drop a small amount of ink into the middle of the tank and open the camera shutter. As soon as the shutter opens fire the manual flash. Once the flash has fired release the shutter cable to close the camera shutter. Once you've got your technique nailed you can take shots in rapid succession. The process is simple and goes as follows:
- trigger the shutter
- fire the flash
- close the shutter
- open the shutter
- fire the flash
- close the shutter
- repeat.
Step seven; practice makes perfect
- You could try experimenting with different shades of ink and varying the amount you drop into the water.
- Don't just throw away the water in the tank after a few attempts. It may look black but if you up your flash power, stir the water and snap away you'll be surprised at the possible results.
- Try adding a few drops of milk to your ink to make your colours even more vibrant.
- Your shutter release cable might not be long enough for you to be able to squirt, flash and snap. You will probably need a wireless shutter cable.
- If you're working as a team it takes time and practice to establish a good working rhythm.

Destined to become a go-to recipe. These were easy and excellent!
Oven-Fried Green Tomatoes With Lightened Bread-and-Butter Pickle Rémoulade
Brittiny Posted: 08/11/10
doodles Posted: 01/10/10
I love this recipe and the oven-fry feature. Panko and buttermilk just go hand in hand in my book. Creole seasoning ads a bang to the finished product. I do add Lawry's seasoning salt. I serve these with any meats or poultry dishes. Goes good with spicy collards and fried fish.
culpritsmom Posted: 06/21/11
These were incredible! I have been looking for an oven fried green tomato recipe that tasted really good without the greasiness. These tomatoes fulfilled my dreams. They are crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. They have a nice crunch which is often missing with the oven baked variety. My husband said, "Put these in your regular repertoire." Thanks for a great recipe!

An eating disorder is an unhealthy obsession with food and weight. People with eating disorders eat – or avoid eating – in extreme ways. At least 8 million people in the U.S. are living with an eating disorder. The overwhelming majority – about 90% – are female.
These are the 3 main types of eating disorders:
Anorexia nervosa. People with anorexia severely restrict calories to the point of starvation. They are obsessed with being thin and have an unhealthy and distorted body image. They may refuse to eat at all or only eat tiny amounts of food that has few calories. Anorexics are extremely thin, yet constantly think of themselves as overweight.
Bulimia nervosa. Bulimics binge on huge quantities of food, then force themselves to vomit. They may also exercise compulsively and take laxatives to help rid their body of the calories they've eaten. Bulimics continue this cycle of binging and purging and may also diet excessively in between binges. Bulimics aren't necessarily extremely thin and may often seem to be of normal weight.
Binge-eating disorder. This is also known as compulsive overeating. Binge eaters consume excessive amounts of food without purging. They often eat uncontrollably despite feeling full. Binge eaters may feel guilty or ashamed after a binge and go on an extreme diet as a result. Binge eaters may be of normal weight, overweight, or obese. Although anorexia and bulimia aren't common in men, binge eating disorder affects about as many men as it does women.
Other eating disorders don't quite fit into any of the above categories and are usually classified as "eating disorders not otherwise specified."
Eating disorders can be treated successfully, but the answer isn't as simple as changing eating habits because eating disorders are about much more than food. They stem from emotional issues that must be addressed. Therapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy, is a crucial part of treating and managing eating disorders. Some people may also be prescribed medications, such as antidepressants, to help overcome an eating disorder. Those with binge eating disorder may sometimes need appetite suppressants to help manage their condition.
No one-size-fits-all treatment is available for eating disorders. Rather, treatment is specifically tailored to each individual.
Experts don't truly understand what causes eating disorders. It's thought that the pressures of society may play a role, as may personal stress and perhaps certain personality traits. Fortunately, you can take steps to help prevent eating disorders, both before the first symptoms appear or in the early stages.
Programs that teach children and adults about healthy eating habits and a healthy body weight are one prevention method. A better understanding of how unrealistic society's expectations regarding body weight are can also promote a healthier body image and prevent eating disorders.

What can we learn from research on self-regulation that might help us with our emotion regulation? Implementation intentions can be used strategically to influence what emotions we might experience. This interests me because regulating emotions successfully can foster more effective self-regulation and less procrastination.
In a study published earlier this year in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (full citation and link to paper below), Inge Schweiger Gallo (Universidad Complutense de Madrid), Andreas Keil (University of Florida), Kathleen McCulloch (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Brigitte Rockstroh (University of Konstanz) and Peter Gollwitzer (New York University and University of Konstanz) reported on an extension of the use of implementation intentions to regulate behaviors to the regulation of emotions. This study has important implications for understanding how we can better self-regulate to procrastinate less.

A game not rising like a comet anymore =/= a game's 'reign' ending
Those curves look exactly like I expected (though the plunge in War's subscriptions is a bit steeper than I thought it would be).
(And as someone who had highest hopes for AoC, that curve is somewhat painful to look at.)
@7 - I completely disagree. I don't know about the PVP end of it but for PVE, I think Wrath is lightyears ahead of BC which was far superior to classic. I think what will keep Blizzard (and Wow) going for a long time is their experience in balancing what makes it fun and challenging. Each one gets much better and there is no reason to doubt that the next expansion - whatever the storyline - will be more fun that Wrath.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Fire crews responded early Thursday morning to a house fire in North Spokane. Officials said it sparked at West Cliffwood Court near North Fairwood Drive near the Spokane Country Club.
Fire officials said they arrived on scene around 4:30 Thursday morning and began attacking the flames. They originally responded to a 911 call of flames shooting out the back of a home. Officials said that the main level of the home was fully engulfed with fire when they arrived.
Fire crews said that the flames destroyed a couple levels of the home, leaving it uninhabitable. Officials are working to contact the owners.
Fire officials said they spent several hours knocking down hot spots and cleaning up the area.
Nobody was hurt.
