Whether it is called Bigfoot, wild man, mystery hominid, or by a name as corny and colloquial as swamp devil or booger—there is substantial evidence that an unknown big, hairy, stinky, loud, and perhaps wildly dangerous something inhabits the deep woods of large parts of the southern United States. Tom Burnette and Rob Riggs conducted a combined forty-plus years of independent field research, during which they were totally unknown to one another, only to eventually learn their findings firmly corroborate one another down to highly specific details unrecorded elsewhere. These include their respective discoveries of bizarre energy and light-form manifestations—documented with photographs by both of them— which are apparently concurrent with Bigfoot sightings.
Over the past twenty years, two men from different parts of the United States have followed and developed a friendly connection with the mysterious ape-like creature known as Bigfoot. Now, with forty-plus years of combined field study, these experienced investigators present a detailed collection of personal stories, ethnographic research, and theories surrounding the Bigfoot legend.
Join authors Rob Riggs and Tom Burnette, whose many years of commitment to the search and dedicated study reveal their true encounters with the elusive, wild being. Explore the history, habitats, and more in this collection of substantial evidence of Bigfoot's existence and thought-provoking discussions for continued research. From the possibility of having psychic powers to why it's so hard to find, Bigfoot goes beyond the myth to the reality of this amazing ape-man. Product Details

I've been making pork a lot lately. There's just something about a Paleo pork dish and cold weather that goes together. And in this case, I paired the pork with pears.
Actually I made this meal a few times in the last couple weeks. The first time I made it, I just threw a bunch of ingredients together and called it a day.
But when I posted a photo on the Paleo Porn Facebook page, someone asked for the recipe. So I had to go back and try to think about what I had done and give it another go. :)
The second time it came out even better than the first.
When the weather shifts to be more cold and there's less sun light, my crock pot and deep covered baker tend to get a lot of action.
If you have a Dutch Oven feel free to use that in place of the skillet and deep covered baker method that I use.
If you enjoy this recipe, feel free to share with a friend and let me know how yours turns out in the comments below. :)
Braised Pork and Pears
- 3-4 lb pork shoulder
- sea salt and coarse ground black pepper, to taste
- your choice of fat (butter, coconut oil, bacon fat, lard, etc.)
- 1 pear (Bartlett or Anjou)
- 1 large onion
- 8-10 cloves garlic
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- golden balsamic vinegar
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Season the pork shoulder with sea salt and black pepper.
- Warm your choice of fat in a large skillet over medium heat and brown the pork shoulder on all sides.
- While that's going, slice the pear and transfer it to the bottom of a deep covered baker, with a lid. (I used mine from Pampered Chef and it doesn't go on the stove top which is why I used a skillet to brown the pork first.)
- Halve the onion then chop each half into thirds. Smash the whole garlic cloves with the side of a large knife on a cutting board and remove the papery outer layer. Chop the top off the pepper, remove the seeds and slice into large chunks.
- Add the chopped onion, sliced pepper, smashed garlic, ground ginger and chopped rosemary to the baking dish on top of the sliced pear. Mix everything together, trying to leave pears on the bottom layer. I didn't want to use more dishes so I did all this in the deep covered baker, alternatively you could mix everything in a small mixing bowl.
- Make space in the baking dish in the middle by moving the onion mixture toward the sides. Transfer the pork shoulder on top of the pears so the onion mixture is all around the pork.
- Drizzle the golden balsamic vinegar over the top of the pork. Add a pinch or two of sea salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Cover and braise for 2-2.5 hours or until the pork registers 160°F with a meat thermometer.
- Remove from oven, slice meat and serve with juices and whatever vegetables remain.
- Enjoy! :)

IE6 links not working - sort of solved...
19 May 2010 at 11:14pm Last edited: 19 May 2010 11:42pm
Hi all
I won't be the first, but I only just discovered this problem with IE6 where navigation links don't work properly (new install, blackcandy). Clicking a link returns a white screen. Reloading the white screen or entering the link manually will return the proper page. Some links will work though, and that makes it even more confusing...
This is not a SilverStripe bug, the culprit seems to be this tag, created by $MetaTags(false) in Page.ss:
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
[EDIT] I thought of some hack, using <!--[if lt IE 6]> but that won't validate as proper HTML...
How would leaving it out altogether effect SilverStripe's handling of character encoding? Any thoughts on this issue?

Hey guys,
I guess I really need some help here,cause it's driving me nuts... I never had this problem with 2.3 versions, but it's happening since 2.4. Navigation-links on sites coming from my server just won't work in IE6. I click a link, get a white screen, reload and the page displays. Typing urls by hand works fine. Again - only with 2.4 sites...
I must be missing some setting somewhere - the same setup works on my other hosting provider. This is what I did sofar (in every possible combination):
- made multiple clean default installs of 2.4 and 2.3.7 using the same domain/virtual host
- removed everything from the page header but the metatag in the page template, removed the body as well...
- set my server to en_US utf-8, just to be sure, to ISO-8859-1 and back again
- set the default locale in php.ini to utf-8, and back to nothing
- set apache default locale to utf-8 and back to nothing.
- checked the http headers - no difference between the 2.4 and the 2.3.7 install
- checked all available logs. The request is made, the page is sent
- saved all pages to html and let them link to each other - works fine
- set <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> (Makes it work)
- moved the tag to the top of the header - no luck
- removed it: works fine...
- Uploaded the same website to my other hosting provider, and there it works fine. Only difference in the header: Vary: Accept-Encoding (missing there)
It looks like IE6 gets to the part where it processes the metatag, then does some internal redirect and hangs on that. I succeeded in letting Silverstripe adding some content to the header just to check: the text before the <meta http-equiv... shows, the bit after doesn't...
If anyone wants to check it out: http://hekeltje.balbus.tk
What am I missing... any suggestions? Please?

I would hope that most raid groups get along! If they didn't, I doubt that they would remain together for any length of time.
Getting along and not having issues with people are not mutually exclusive. I'd argue that it's merely human nature. In such a large group of people, there will be conflicting personalities, there will be those handful of people that just don't see eye to eye and possibly don't even "like" each other.
When it comes to opinions of strategy, wipes, and roles, people are going to disagree. People are going to have different styles of humor, and people are going to be offended by different thing. It's absolutely the raid leaders job to make sure that none of these things blow out of proportion, that small little disagreements don't explode into all out drama. Unaddressed, they easily can. A raid that lacks drama almost always does so because it has fantastic leadership, not simply because everyone in the raid are best of friends. Even friends have tiffs.
As a personal example of what I mean; when I first joined the guild that I'm currently in, I wasn't entirely talkative and I wasn't around all too much outside of raids. I take a while to warm up to people, and I have alts on more severs than I count; nothing was wrong, it's just the way I am.
Our raid leader, though, thought that I might be uncomfortable, he was worried that perhaps the way people joke and talk made me uncomfortable, so he asked me privately if everything as okay. He wanted to ensure that I wasn't being offended by anyone. I wasn't, but if that had been the case then he would have just easily avoided any drama from starting well before it became an issue.
That's what makes truly wonderful raid leaders, and that's how guilds avoid massive amounts of drama. You don't wait for things to reach a boiling point, you notice the spark that's lighting the fires and douse them before they can even start to bubble.

A historic Wisconsin Rapids hotel now has new owners. This
comes more than a year after it went into foreclosure and was sold at auction
by the county.
Hotel Mead and Conference Center is more than 60 years old.
For the past year and a half, it's been open, but the ownership has been
uncertain. That's until now—new owners bought the hotel.
"Gives us assurance that the property isn't going to go dark—that's
been on people's minds for the last few years," Wisconsin Rapids Mayor Zach
Vruwink said.
The hotel went into foreclosure back in 2011. Then, Wood
County sold it to WoodTrust Bank at auction, who in turn sold it to a newly
formed company called SKD Hospitality Management.
"We're excited at the prospect of being part of the
community and being involved in Rapids," SKD Hospitality Management Executive
VP Al DeBerry said.
And the new owners say it's very early in the process. But
they anticipate few changes when it comes to jobs at the hotel.
"The jobs appear to be pretty consistent with what we're
looking for to move forward," DeBerry said.
"My hope is that they will be able to retain the jobs that
they have. That was a fear I had," Vruwink said.
Hotel Mead has a history in Wisconsin Rapids. That's why the
new owners say they have no plans to change the name.
"It's not that we're going to make an enormous amount of
changes—just redirect some situations in place and guide them moving forward,"
DeBerry said.
The new owners say their team comes with a lot of
experience. DeBerry says the four owners each has more than 25 years in the
hospitality business.
"We're going to be her consistently, running the hotel, no
outside management," DeBerry said.
The new owners are from outside the area, but they say they're
still ready to use their expertise.
Chamber of commerce leaders say they think the sale will
positively impact the area, by hopefully bringing in more business.

ACTION SPORTS: Soaring career: Vert skateboarder has taken off since moving to Encinitas
Adam Taylor was 10 years old when he first dropped into the 13-foot walls of a vert ramp outside his family's home in Florida.
"I remember because when I was younger, it was probably one of the gnarliest things I had ever done," Taylor said. "I was trying to do it for the longest time. I would just pump up and down the ramp. Then one day, I remember there was a session with all the older guys there, and I just ran up to the ramp and I just dropped in."
Now, at 19, the professional skateboarder is one of the newest recruits to North County's legion of accomplished vert skaters. The Leucadia resident will skate in the mega ramp and vert disciplines at X Games 15, which begins Thursday in Los Angeles.
Taylor grew up in Cocoa Beach, Fla., but he moved to Encinitas with his family nearly six years ago. They first settled into an apartment right next to the vert ramp at the Encinitas YMCA. With a younger brother (Dylan, 16) and sister (Lea, 13) who also skate competitively, the trio has been heading to various skate parks together for as long as they can remember.
"We used to go to the skate park every day together," Taylor said. "We skate vert so we all skate on the same ramp."
The rest of the family recently moved back to Florida, but for Adam, North County is now his home. Before he relocated, he was traveling to Encinitas to skate as many as three or four times a year.
"All the pro skateboarders live here, there's always people to skate with, and there are vert ramps to actually skate," Taylor explained as the reason for the frequent visits. "Most places, there aren't vert ramps, or good ones, to skate."
It was in Southern California where Taylor first attempted to jump the mega ramp, a massive jump with a 25-to-70-foot gap and a landing that leads to a huge quarterpipe. He was only 15 at the time.
"You just kind of force yourself to go because it's really the scariest thing you'll ever do, at that point," Taylor said. "There's nothing scarier than the mega ramp on a skateboard."
Now, he doesn't even look twice before he jumps, but his goal for the X Games is to focus on landing tricks over the bigger gap. He placed fifth in the event last year and he has been practicing at Bob Burnquist's house in Vista, where the veteran skater has his own mega ramp.
"The big thing is skating the 70-foot jump," Taylor said. "That's really the big difference, is doing your big tricks on the big jump."
This will be Taylor's first invitation to the vert discipline of the X Games, and his goal is consistency. He has been practicing difficult tricks so he can use them in the contest and also link difficult tricks together in his run.
He already has made his mark in vert skating on the Dew Tour, with a fifth-place finish overall in 2008, up from 12th the previous year.

One of the first dishes I made from CL, and it still ranks up there 2 years later. Made it again last night after not making it in a while and we had forgotten how much we like this meal. I leave out the mushrooms (husband dislikes) and increase the spinach. I also just use a homemade marinara sauce instead of the roasted pepper one, as I do not like roasted red peppers much. Only complaint is the filling does not make as many rolls as stated, so I increase the amount I make to have leftovers for lunch.
Lasagna Rolls with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

alleseres Posted: 02/10/09
I made this for the first time and for the most part it was good. My husband did not like the red pepper sauce so next time I'll serve it with jar sauce or just omit the peppers. After reading the other reviews, I doubled the cheese and added more spinach which was key. The original recipe wouldn't have been enough for 8 roll-ups and I was able to make 10 good size portions. All in all, a good recipe with a little tweaking.
Johnnyb Posted: 11/16/08
This was a great easy recipe that everyone enjoyed. I will experiment with different cheeses and sauce combinations. You can be sure you will make a LOT of these.
orthochef Posted: 11/17/08
I made this for dinner tonight and everyone loved it! It was really easy to prep, I didn't think it took that much more time than other meals I make. But I made it at lunchtime and then just popped it in the oven to heat for dinner, and it worked very well as a make-ahead meal. Nice, different presentation than traditional lasagna. I drained about half of the oil/juice from the roasted peppers before putting in the blender and the sauce consistency was great.
scargosun Posted: 03/08/11
I was worried about using the microwave for cooking but this turned out so tasty! I would not change a thing. The layers of flavors were perfect. It was a pasta dish with cheese but wasn't heavy. It was just filling enough. Will definitely make again. Looking forward to the leftovers. :)
NaomiO Posted: 12/08/09
I made this recipe last night for my fiancé and I and we enjoyed it. I wouldnât say we were blown away by it but I will definitely make it again. If you donât mind the extra calories I would add more cheese. I noticed that many people were commenting on the volume of the filling. If you make the recipe as is, you should have just enough. I used a ¼ cup to make sure the rolls came out evenly and the amount of filling was perfect. However, if you take out mushrooms or some other ingredient you will probably need to replace that volume with something elseâ¦letâs say cheese! I would also recommend not skimping on the basil; it was a great compliment to the red pepper sauce.
Ramonalite Posted: 01/09/10
This is a great recipe and really EASY! And for all you folks out there recommending adding cheese - which makes everything taste good - please remember this is a Cooking Light Recipe - the portions are fine with salad and/or a vegetable (steamed is probably a good idea)
Kaley101 Posted: 01/06/10
I am by all means not a lasagna fan!! But this recipe was amazing!! I actually did not use the ricotta cheese and substituded it for more mozzerela and it was perfect!! A+++ recipe!!!!!
bdennis Posted: 01/30/11
Use whole wheat lasagna noodles and it doesn't get much healthier than this-and soooo good! I must remember to use this no-cook sauce for other pasta dishes as well. One of my husband's and my favorite meatless dishes!
Stellaellaola Posted: 08/27/11
Good stuff! Don't overcook the pasta, especially whole wheat pasta, because the sides will fall off and the rolls won't look as pretty. I only used 2 cloves of garlic in the ricotta mix and 1 in the sauce and it worked well. I could taste the garlic, but it didn't over power. I added an extra 1/2 cup of ricotta thinking that there wasn't enough filling, but didn't need to. Tasty and I only missed the béchamel sauce a tiny bit! Did anyone else find that the pepper flakes weren't evenly distributed?
coquigretch Posted: 09/12/11
This was a good recipe, and I would definitely make it again. It does have a lot of steps and therefore has a lot of cleanup, so it's not something I would make in a hurry. I found that I only needed one roll to feel satisfied, which cut the calories in half for me. Delicious with some steamed string beans!
JimMarltonNJ Posted: 10/13/11
This is a fun way of making lasagna with a unique flavor from the roasted pepeers.
inspired2cook Posted: 05/30/12
Excellent taste and was very pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to make! Next time I will make a little more of the filling because it's not enough if you fill up each roll with 1/4 cup of mixture. This will definitely get a place in my recipe book!
Christianswife Posted: 12/30/12
Just made this for my husband and I, and I really enjoyed it! It was fun to make because it is different than typical dishes-like getting to make your own tasty sauce. Next time I will add a little more than 1/2 c mozzarella just to thicken up the filling and will also use a little less juice from the jar of roasted red peppers for a slightly thicker sauce. You could also easily experiment with other veggies if you have someone in your house than doesn't like mushrooms. Overall great dish, and will be making it again!
Kuenzi123 Posted: 11/11/12
This was a great lasagna replacement for a weeknight meal and has a pretty presentation. I was surprised how quick it was to make! I used the oven instead of the microwave (about 20 mins at 350.) I had the perfect amount of filling for 8 rolls, if you follow the measurements exactly you should be just fine. I wasn't fond of the sauce even though I like roasted red peppers; it was a bit too tangy and way too runny/watery. Perhaps draining the tomatoes and/or bell peppers would be better. I will use a homemade or jarred pasta sauce next time for even faster prep. You can reduce the calories by reducing the oil, I used my Misto and it was just fine.
KJoyce179 Posted: 03/15/12
I made this for one of my daughters who is a vegetarian. The whole family ate it & loved it. My son doesn't even like roasted red peppers. It is fairly easy to make & definitely delicious to eat.
KCSeattle Posted: 06/19/13
These were really good - even with 100% whole wheat noodles! I used canned sauce, but plan to make the sauce next time. Very fast and easy.
cmfrakes Posted: 07/15/14
This was my first time making lasagna rolls. They were simple enough to make, and I really like the rolls over traditional lasagna. However, the filling on these was so bland! I will make lasagna rolls again, just not these. The roasted red pepper sauce was delicious. I followed somebody else's recommendation and drained the roasted peppers so the sauce wasn't so runny. I had a lot left over, so served it over scrambled eggs for breakfast. Yum!

Spent three nights at this charming, well located property after a long search for a B&B in Portland. The stay could not have been better. Very comfortable in every way. The daily breakfast was an event. Make time to savor what will be provided, each day was different, unique and five star!

My husband and I stayed at the Chadwick for our 5th Anniversary. The service was amazing and sooo friendly. We have both worked in many areas of customer service, and are not easily impressed...they went the extra mile, more than once. The "common" areas were inviting. For Breakfast, warm, homemade pumpkin waffles, and yogurt with homemade granola!! Soooo good! Everything was so clean, and had that antique feeling, but clearly renovated - did not feel "OLD" at all!! I would whole-heartedly recommend going!! Thank you, Chadwick for making our stay so warm...good luck to you for many more years to come!!!

The Chadwick is located in a great area of Portland. We very much enjoyed strolling the walking path along the Western Promenade and walking the charming neighborhoods in the West End. A bonus for us was stumbling into the "First Friday" gallery walk along Congress Street after a great dinner at Caiola's Restaurant on Pine Street. The innkeeper at The Chadwick was friendly and made us feel at home when we arrived. Having coffee available in the afternoon and early the morning would make for an even nicer stay. The wireless signal was not strong enough to be fully functional in our room. Also, while we appreciated that they accommodated our flight plans with a breakfast-to-go on the final day, it didn't quite live up to our hopes of what would be provided from such an otherwise quality place. Overall, it was a nice place to stay: great location, clean, nice linens, welcoming host. I would stay there again, but I would be sure to eat breakfast on site and to make sure the internet was fully functional as I arrived rather than waiting until I needed to use it later in the evening.

We wanted a nice little weekend getaway and we chose the Chadwick Inn from the reviews and its website. You will NOT be disappointed if you stay here. After a long day exploring Portland we returned back to the Inn, grabbed a few warm cookies and decided to settle in for the night with a good movie that you could choose from to watch in your guest room on a nice big flatscreen TV. We got a knock on the door from the Owner /Innkeeper Buddy and he heard us talking about watching movies all night so he brought us fresh warm popcorn to enjoy and said " everyone should watch movies with a bowl of popcorn " He went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. We will return for sure !!!! Wish we had more time to stay.

For the second year in a row, we have chosen The Chadwick B&B in Portland for our New Year's Eve gathering. When we drove up the inn, it was so beautifully lit and inviting with the light snow falling. Once inside it is so comfortable you just don't want to leave. Our group of friends gathered by the fireplace in the great room for an evening of celebrating and games. Buddy, our innkeeper, was always available and we were all treated to the very best of his graciousness. We even talked him into a few rounds of "Catch Phrase". After toasting the New Year, we all retired to our tastefully appointed ensuites where everyone had a most comfortable night of rest. The next morning we were treated to blueberry cobbler french toast. It was melt in your mouth delicious. It was a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beginning of a new year.

We planned a weekend getaway from New york to Portland Maine. After many hours of looking at hotels and Inns on the computer we chose the Chadwick Bed & Breakfast. The Inn was more than we could have expected. From the minute we walked in and greeted by the owner and innkeeper Buddy we new we chose the right place. The Inn was spotless, our room was beautiful ( Chamberlain Room) Each morning we woke to the smell of coffee brewing and a great breafast. Buddy's attention to detail was amazing. Chocolates in our guest room, snack basket full of great treats and always baked goodies each afternoon. We are already looking for a weekend to come back to stay at the Chadwick Inn.

China announces major reforms, Syria peace talks may favor Assad's rule, and Philippines death toll rises as Aquino fights for his reputation. Today is Friday, November 15, and this is the World Wrap, brought to you by @dwbronner.
China's President Xi Jinping stands next to a Chinese national flag during a welcoming ceremony at the Great Hall of the People, in Beijing, November 13, 2013. REUTERS/Jason Lee
Sibling solution. Chinese officials plan to alter the one-child law for the first time in nearly 30 years. The revision could be a step towards abolishing the policy altogether, though its demographic effect may be relatively small:
Wang Guangzhou, a demographer from top government think-tank, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, estimated the new policy would affect 30 million women of child-bearing age In a country which has nearly 1.4 billion people. Although it is known internationally as the one-child policy, China's rules governing family planning are more complicated. Under current rules, urban couples are permitted a second child if both parents do not have siblings and rural couples are allowed to have two children if their first-born is a girl.
In addition to skewing the gender ratio in favor of male children, the restrictive policy hurts the economy by decreasing the Chinese labor pool. Studies show that, under the current one-child system, the country's labor force will begin to decline at a rate of roughly 10 million per year in 2025, while the elderly population will continue to grow. In July, China passed a law forcing children to visit their elderly parents, in a possible bid to ease the state's responsibility for elderly care. Economic reforms include allowing the market to set fuel, electricity, and other prices, calming initial fears that President Xi Jinping would fail to limit the power of state-owned firms. The document also reiterated Xi's commitment to closing China's controversial labor camps, a move sources previously said was met with resistance by Xi's colleagues.

Williams Men, Middlebury Women Named Cross Country Scholar Teams of the Year by USTFCCCA
Courtesy USTFCCCA
NEW ORLEANS, La. - Williams has been named the 2008 NCAA Division III USTFCCCA Men's Cross Country Scholar Team of the Year, while Middlebury received the 2008 NCAA Division III USTFCCCA Women's Cross Country Scholar Team of the Year award, the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association announced on Tuesday.
Williams receives the 2008 USTFCCCA
All-Academic honor after finishing third overall at the 2008 NCAA
Division III Cross Country National Championships. The Ephs also
won the New England Championships and its third straight New
England Small College Athletic Conference Championship prior to
In the classroom, the Ephs maintained a 3.360 cumulative team grade point average. While this is the first Scholar Team of the Year honor for Williams, the institution has made the USTFCCCA All-Academic team list every year since 2005.
Middlebury finished 15th at the
2007 NCAA Division III Cross Country Championships before winning
the 2008 NCAA Division III Cross Country title.
Middlebury won the 2008 New England Regional Championship and was the co-champion of the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC). Middlebury, which maintains a cumulative 3.480 grade point average, was also on the USTFCCCA All-Academic team list in 2007, and in 2006.
The NESCAC had eight squads qualify for the Men's All-Academic Team, tying for the most programs among all conference, while nine teams earned recognition on the Women's All-Academic Team, second only to the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC).
For a team to be considered for the USTFCCCA All-Academic Team award, they must have competed and compiled a team score at an NCAA Regional Meet. The team must also have a minimum 3.10 team cumulative grade point average.

Sanitation workers are raising a stink for the second time in four months.
They are frustrated over working without a contract since last year. They also want better wages and they want to make sure their pensions are protected. Right now their pension fund is under a plan that's almost bankrupt. "You got to realize a garbage man is just as important as a doctor. We haul the germs and trash away from people's houses to make sure the environment is safe. It's an importance that comes with this job, it's a nasty job, but somebody has to do it."
Robert Walker, a worker from Allied Waste tells us the workers are "on strike indefinitely". He says the talks with Republic Waste have broken down.
Roger Lawrence, GM, Republic Services in Memphis made this statement:
For the second time in four months, members of Teamsters 984 have decided to go on strike. We appreciate the patience of our customers at this time and assure them that we will meet their waste and recycling needs. This morning, we are focusing on our most critical customers including hospitals and schools. We continue to negotiate in good faith with the Teamsters and provide our employees with a good salary as our drivers' average salary is $58,000 a year. Because we value the work of our employees, we also want them to have a retirement that they can count on. Currently, the Memphis employees belong to the Central States Pension Fund, whose own Executive Director, Thomas Nyhan, told the Wall Street Journal earlier this month that 'There is a reasonable possibility that this plan could run out of money in about a dozen years.' We believe our employees deserve better and will do everything legally possible to help them leave Central States.

The Long Wait: Making NYC More Handicap-Accessible
Taking a spontaneous trip from Williamsburg to Union Square? As Jason DaSilva's new mini-documentary shows, It usually takes 13 minutes by public transit, but if you're in a wheelchair, over an hour and a half!
Check out the ending, where he takes a new handicap-accessible taxi back to Brooklyn. The point is clear: we need to make New York City's Taxi of Tomorrow truly accessible to all.
I definitely suggest watching this — it's five minutes well spent.

Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA) is the Master Level Certification Program with in-depth, hands-on training for Senior Linux System Administrators enabling them to design and deploy large and complex Linux based environments. This is a capstone Certification, and shall be above RHCSA, RHCE, RHCVA, RHCDS, RHCSS etc.
The full RHCA curriculum consists of four-advanced 400-level Enterprise Architect courses and an upper-level security course (RHS333).
The course or modules for RHCA includes:
Unlike the RHCSA and RHCE certification programs, RHCA courses can be pursued on module basis i.e. each course can be taken separately and Redhat endorsement can be achieved for that particular course by taking the certification exam successfully for the same, making it convenient for senior administrators to choose their area of specialisation without going through the entire course saving money and time. This compartmental system also provides the flexibility to attain RHCA in a phased manner thus reducing the risk of taking the advanced modules at one stretch.
The prerequisite for RHCA or for any of the 400- level course is a current RHCE certification. For more details, check out the RHEL 6 FAQs.
RHCA Exam-Special Offers
The intake for each batch is only 6 candidates.
The training team will be led by Mr. Arun Eapen, Senior Technical Consultant - Red Hat India. He is also the first certified RHC*(RHCSS, RHCDS & RHCA) from India! As per available statistics, there are just 3 RHCAs from India.
The new International Centre is expected to attract students looking for Advanced international certifications like RHCSS & RHCA from regions including Europe, Middle East and the Far East.Read more>>
It was very nice camp that i've it over there . Training was really excellent and it worth the money i spent over there. As i said to you earlier about my exam results ,(though i got only180 marks) but i've gained confidence like anything in the LINUX world. It has given me new strength to face the interviews pertaining to LINUX as well as the Clients. Once again thanks for all your support you have extended till the training ends. Wishing you a many more successful events and a great year ahead..!! K Venkat Raman, RH 442 Lead Analyst, CGI India, Bangalore
A home away from home ! That's how I would sum up my RHCA training experience at IPSR,Kochi. From the very inception, the management and staff went out of their way to assure that my sojourn in Kochi was pleasant and comfortable in every way. The accommodation facilities suggested by Benila Madam were all fit and proper and economical, and she was also particular to enquire at all times whether I was really enjoying my stay in Kochi in all respects. I couldn't find the time to explore the city in much detail, but the little that I saw left an indelible mark on my mind.Honestly, when I set out on my RHCA journey about a year back, I had a fair amount of qualms and misgivings as to how it would all turn out, considering the hefty sum I was to spend for doing the three RHCA modules, travelling all the way from Kolkata. Self-appointed advisors had chorused that all my money would go down the drain as one can never imbibe and assimilate properly via such short term courses where the instructors simply go through the motions, treating the subject matter in a very superficial and perfunctory manner. But, how wrong they were ! Not only I, but any other candidate of our batches, would readily attest to the very thorough and painstakingly perfect manner in which all the three modules were covered by our instructor, Shri Sreejith Anujam. Here was a man who not only really knew what he was talking about but was equally keen to ensure that every student did actually absorb everything he had to deliver and get their money's worth. Our lab practice sessions always went far beyond the normal stipulated closure hours and the IPSR staff was always kind enough to extend our class timings to the extent that we might require completing our lab assignments. Needless to say, all the machines and lab equipment were measuring up to the most exacting standards. Besides, this we always availed extra practice sessions prior to exam dates, thanks again to the co-operation from IPSR staff. With their multifarious training courses going on all the time, it was not exactly an easy thing to provide extra practice lab-sessions ahead of our exams as per wishes, but our wishes were somehow accommodated most of the times.All in all, it was an unforgettable experience. For anyone intending to RHCA courses,I can think of no better place in India.Bimal Roy Mehta, RHCA* Director of Trail Blazers,Kolkata
Really enjoyed the RH401 course.We had enough time to get to know the rehat satellite product.The teacher was very good in explaining some of the more complex concepts of Deployment and System configuration

Hi IPSR,
I have a great experience in Kerala.Specially thanks to Benila Mam for helping for the accommodation, food & all things.Teachers are also well experienced and give good explanations.
Jaimin Joshi
I would like to thank you to Mr. Arun Eapen (Red Hat Trainer) and all the staff members of IPSR. I attended Training for 401 RHCA's module and really I am satisfied from Red Hat trainer and IPSR's infrastructure.
IPSR has provided nice lab for my 401 training. And I would like to thank Mr. Reji, Reshmi and all other staff members.
And finally I would like to thanks to Benila Madam and Mendus sir for providing great facilities like infrastructure for training and also healthy & hygienic food.
Warm Regards,Tejus Sevak
"Thanks Benila for arranging my hostel accommodation and that too at a very much affordable rate. I spoke to her may times (sorry Benilla I disturbed you that many times!) which gave me the initial confidence when I landed in Kochi. By the way I even did not know difference between Kochi, Ernakulam and Cochin. I thought they are all very different. Despite such a confusing idea of Kochi I still could comfortably find my accommodation, my place of training etc.
Once again I thank Benila."

The Deep South has been in a deep freeze since yesterday, when a winter storm left some commuters and students stranded overnight and flights canceled at the world's busiest airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Those traveling to the Philippines for volunteer work or vacation have been faced with the unimaginable – a devastating typhoon that could claim as many as 10,000 lives and left the country in crisis.
Hundreds of volunteers were already working on the popular tourist island of Boho following the massive 7.2-magnitude earthquake that struck in mid-October, working on rebuilding homes demolished by the tragedy that killed more than 200 people.
But the devastation hasn't stopped them from helping. It just changed the mission.
Gearing up for a beach weekend to celebrate summer's last hurrah? We hate to rain on your Labor Day beach plans, but with hurricane season in full swing there are a few beaches you might want to avoid. We checked in with the meteorologists at weathertrends360 to get their forecast for the holiday weekend – here are the beaches with the highest risk for storms:
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Showers and thunderstorms are in the forecast for the majority of the weekend. While there may be a day of drier weather, the forecast is definitely not in favor of a sun-filled weekend. If you do get rain, there are still plenty of things to do in Myrtle Beach with the family inside, like touring Ripley's Aquarium.
Outer Banks, North Carolina
Like Myrtle Beach, the Outer Banks are expected to have more wet days than dry, which could put a damper on the holiday weekend. If you're stuck indoors, feast on the area's freshest seafood at Nag's Head Austin Fish Company or cozy up with clam chowder at Roadside Bar and Grill, a restaurant tucked inside the oldest house in Duck.
Southern Florida
Taking a trip to southern Florida during hurricane season is always a risk, and it's definitely one we would rather not take this year. With a forecast of above-average tropical activity, it's best to leave the southern Florida destinations for another year (or another time of year). One of our picks for where to travel in November is Florida. If you can wait for the beach until then, you'll be rewarded with picture-perfect skies and fewer crowds.
New Orleans
Showers and thunderstorms are in the forecast over the weekend, and like southern Florida, it's always risky taking a trip to this city on the Gulf during hurricane season.

South Padre Island, Texas
Planning a trip to South Padre Island over Labor Day? Wet weather over the weekend could keep beachgoers indoors more than they would like. If the weather is iffy, consider a weekend off the beach in Austin or San Antonio, where there's plenty to do indoors.
But it's not all bad news! Weathertrends360 also gave us their forecast for the best beaches this Labor Day weekend. One of their top picks? The Jersey Shore. Show your support for the area that was devastated by Hurricane Sandy. Enjoy sunny skies on beaches that have been rapidly rebuilt with the "Jersey Strong" motto.
Where else has a low risk for strong summer storms? Check out weathertrends360 full list of the Best Beaches for Labor Day Weekend.

Rain on your wedding day isn't ironic, despite what Alanis Morrisette says. It's just plain gloomy.
You can plan everything for your Big Day — the location, the food, the guests, the music — but you can't plan the weather. June is the biggest month for weddings, and with that in mind, the meteorologists at weathertrends360 have gathered the best — and worst — places around the country to exchange vows this month.
And if the skies aren't sunny on the Big Day, don't worry — we hear rain on your wedding day is good luck.
Top 5 June 2013 Wedding Spots:
Bar Harbor, ME: Scenic Bar Harbor will be an excellent location for a wedding this June, with the warmest temperatures in 5 years. Last year, June was on the wet side, but this year the rainfall should be much lower.
Best Time: June 21-30
Orlando, FL (Disneyworld): Sunnier and warmer weather this June will grace the grounds that Mickey and Minnie call home. Last year, 2 tropical systems brought flooding to Florida, but luckily, this year will see less tropical activity — making it a great time to get hitched in the Magic Kingdom.
Best Time: June 1-8
New York City, NY: For city-dwellers looking to the tie the knot or for those who want to add a little chic to their ceremony, what better place to get married than the Big Apple? The weather is an added bonus this year, it's predicted to be the warmest June in 3 years.
Best Time: June 21-30
Napa Valley, CA: If vino is your passion, Napa Valley is the perfect setting for a wedding ceremony. The picturesque rolling hills of the valley add a romantic touch to any ceremony, and this year, the weather forecast is also something to love! Temperatures are expected to be warmer than last year with very little rain predicted.
Best Time: June 9-16
San Francisco, CA: The City By the Bay offers brides and grooms-to-be endless options for romantic venues. June 2013 will be the warmest and driest in 3 years offering couples a better chance for the perfect outdoor wedding.
Best Time: June 10-17
Worst 5 June 2013 Wedding Spots:
Smoky Mountains, TN: You'll run the risk of a rained-out wedding ceremony or reception if you book an outdoor wedding in the Great Smoky Mountains this June. Rainfall is expected to be the highest in at least 4 years.
Ozarks, AR: Wetter and colder weather than previous years will make this a dreary place for a wedding in June 2013. But if your heart is set on an outdoor Ozarks wedding, plan on ponying up the dough for a tent to keep you and your guests dry and comfortable.
Yellowstone National Park, WY: Last year's dry weather made it a great time to get hitched among some of the most amazing scenery the United States has to offer. Unfortunately, this year there's a greater chance of a gloomy-day wedding with much wetter weather.
Santa Fe, NM: A much cooler June this year means there's an increased risk of a less-than-fairytale Santa Fe wedding day. Although it doesn't rain all that much in Santa Fe in June, don't be surprised if you run across a stray shower, especially if you plan a wedding during the second half of the month.
New Orleans, LA: This June is expected to be the coolest in 5 years, and rainfall will be the highest in 3 years. So what does that mean? Renting a tent for an outdoor wedding is definitely a wise investment. Although there isn't expected to be any tropical activity this month, if a system does develop, the Gulf Coast is the likely target … just another reason to avoid getting married in the Big Easy.

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic: 2013 is great year to spend your spring break in the Dominican Republic – the temperatures will be the warmest in 3 years. The first week of the month will have the best weather, but you may also get a sun-filled trip during the last week of the month.
Barbados: Like the Dominican Republic, temperatures in March will be the warmest in 3 years, and the first week will be the driest of the month.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico: Book your trip later in March for the warmest and driest weather.

New England is bracing for a blizzard of potentially historic and crippling proportions Friday into Saturday, according to the latest weather reports. At this time, it looks like coastal New England will feel the brunt of it, with a possible 2 feet of snow.
Of course, a storm of this magnitude will present serious problems for travelers. Already more than 1,100 flights have been canceled, according to FlightAware.com, and that number is likely to grow as the storm hits. Check out our tips on flight cancellations and driving in hazardous road conditions.
While Nemo is a serious winter storm, we can't help but wonder about the name … after all, most of us think of the cute little Disney fish, not a devasting blizzard. So what's the deal? Turns out, the Weather Channel has started naming winter storms in the 2012-2013 season and reports its strict criteria when it comes to naming a winter storm — snowfall amount, wind, temperature, time of impact, etc. In this case, the weather folks were thinking of Nemo — as in a Greek boy's name meaning "from the valley." Nemo also means "nobody" in Latin.
It's not likely Nemo will be nobody, though. NYC alone may see 38 inches of snow. With a storm of this scale, perhaps the other winter storm names Magnus, Zeus or Rocky would have been more fitting (definitely not Yogi).
It's been 3 years since the Snowmageddon blizzard buried the mid-Atlantic states. Will Nemo be one of the worst US blizzards in the country's history?
One thing's certain: If you're an in an area that will be fighting Nemo, please stay home. We suggest keeping warm with a café mocha or winter cocktail and dreaming about the epic ski conditions that just may follow.
American novelist Sinclair Lewis once wrote, "winter is not a season, it's an occupation," and who could argue with his words? Winter means shoveling and plowing snow, slipping and sliding to work and school and bundling up from head to toe. This year, we're saying "no thank you!" to winter and migrating south with the birds. Here are weathertrends360's top 10 picks for getaways with the best weather this season:
No Passport? No Problem!
Florida is a popular destination for travelers with the winter blues because of its humid subtropical climate. Mid-January is a great time to visit, as the forecast is mainly dry with temperatures in the mid-70s.
Whether you want to be a "Winter Texan" or are looking for a Spring Break destination, South Padre Island is the place. The average high temperature in winter is in the low 70s — perfect for those looking for warmer, but not hot, weather.
Destinations Abroad
3) San Jose del Cabo, Mexico
San Jose del Cabo is a relaxing alternative to sister city Cabo San Lucas, a well-known party destination. Winters are warm with high temperatures in the low 80s and scarce precipitation. Visit in March for the driest, sunniest and warmest weather.
4) Manzanillo, Mexico
Manzanillo is a great winter getaway, especially for deep-sea fishing enthusiasts. With winter comes drier and less humid weather, with virtually no risk of tropical cyclones. Winter high temperatures average in the low 80s.
This winter, take a trip to the sun-drenched beaches of Guanacaste. The hot and dry climate of this Costa Rican province is perfect for those craving a winter dip in the ocean. High temperatures in the winter hover around the mid-80s.
Winter is an excellent time to visit Jamaica, as the threat of a tropical storm is virtually non-existent. High temperatures average in the mid to high 80s during the winter months.
7) St. John's, Antigua
Antigua makes a great destination for those wishing to shed some layers. Winter high temperatures range from the low to mid-80s. Visit in late February or late March for the driest weather.
8) Lima, Peru
What better way to cure the winter blues than heading to an area where our winter is their summer! January through March is the best time to visit Lima as sunshine is the most plentiful during this time of the year. But be warned: avoid visiting from the end of January to the beginning of February, when the risk of wet weather is the highest.
9) Melbourne, Australia
The Land Down Under will melt away your cold weather plight. Like Lima, Melbourne is also in its summer season during our winter, and daytime high temperatures from January through March typically range in the upper 70s to low 80s. But avoid visiting in early January, mid-February, and early March.
10) Johannesburg, South Africa
An African safari is sure to warm up any adventurous traveler. Johannesburg, near the famous Kruger National Park, is a popular stopover for travelers heading on safari. Temperatures in the city typically range from the upper 70s to low 80s from January through March. This year, mid-January and early March will be the best times to visit.

Warm, cold, cold, warm. Make up your mind already!
It's safe to say that's what a whole lot of people are thinking across the country, as they don fall jackets one day, winter coats the next. Winter, it seems, has become a little moody, and no one is feeling the brunt of its mood swings more than ski resorts.
"Rising Temperatures Threaten Fundamental Change for Ski Slopes," reported yesterday's New York Times. "Study Shows Warming's Threat to Skiing," said The Aspen Times, just a few days earlier. And this equally sobering take from Bloomberg: "Ski Areas Face $1 Billion Risk From Warming Climate, Groups Say."
But Wait, There's Hope!
Before you reach for your Xanax, take a deep breath and repeat: "There's still hope for fun on the slopes this year."
Sure, we're all feeling a little nervous, especially with still-fresh memories of last year's unseasonably warm winter — the fourth warmest on record since 1896 — that caused half of the nation's ski areas to open late and nearly as many to close early. This year is seeing more unpredictable temperature shifts in areas from Mount Sunapee in Vermont, where warmer temps have turned some usually snow white trails dirt brown, to several ski resorts in Colorado that have been forced to push back their opening dates.
A Pro Colorado Skier's Opinion
Lou Dawson — no, not a climate guy, but he is the first person to ski all 54 of Colorado's 14,000-foot peaks — seems pretty optimistic about the whole thing. From what we can tell over at Lou's popular Wild Snow blog, he's got strong opinions on how ski resorts can withstand climate change.
Here's what Lou's saying: "If ski resorts want to deal with global warming and continue skiing as we know it, they need to figure out where we can ski as the climate warms, and build or extend ski areas into those zones."
Snowiest Ski Resorts — Where Are They?
So where are those "zones"? Leave it to our friends over at weathertrends360 to gather the goods. Recently, these weather gurus compiled their list of the world's snowiest ski resorts, with their selection based upon long-term weather trends forecasts.
And the slopes with the most guaranteed powder? Places such as Alta, UT, make weathertrends360's list – and as the NYT confirmed this week, this famed ski area, now in its 75th year, is seeing trails with a base depth of 48 inches. (Translation: Anything above 15 inches is sufficient for skiing.)
What other ski resorts made the list? For the full forecast, check out the World's Snowiest Ski Resorts.

At that very moment, Collin Backowski of Pine Junction was buried beneath a block of ice on Mount Hood that was as deadly as it was emblematic of the beauty that life has to offer. What I felt while standing in the river had to have been the light that sustained his being. His desire to explore the unknown took him to that fatal moment, one that literally took his breath away.

"Quinterne" made in 1450 by Hans Oth in Nürnberg, in the collections at Wartburg Castle.[1][2] Body, neck and pegbox made from one piece of maple, belly spruce or fir. Rose made of several layers of parchment & wood.[3]
|Related instruments
The gittern was a relatively small, quill-plucked, gut strung instrument that originated around the 13th century and came to Europe via Moorish Spain.[4] It was also called the quinterne in Germany, the guitarra in Spain, and the chitarra in Italy.[5] A popular instrument with the minstrels and amateur musicians of the 14th century, the gittern eventually out-competed its rival, the citole. Soon after, its popularity began to fade, giving rise to the larger and more evocative lute and guitar. It is also ancestral to the mandore.[6]
During the 14th century, the gittern's recognition constantly increased, eventually ousting the similarly popular citole. However, the lute eventually overshadowed even the gittern's popularity in the 15th century. Soon after, the vihuela-shaped guitar began to appear and may have existed alongside the gittern, although the latter was gradually losing ground to the newer instrument. In spite of the gittern's slow fall from favor, it was referred to as late as the 18th century as a small round backed instrument, illustrating its occasional use.
Up until 2002, there were only two known surviving medieval gitterns,[7][8] one in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (see external links), the other in the Wartburg Castle Museum. A third was discovered in a medieval outhouse in Elbląg, Poland.[8][9]
The gittern was usually carved from one piece of timber. Occurring less rarely later in the 15th century, the back was built up from a number of thin tapered ribs joined at the edges, as was characteristic of the lute. Unlike the sharp corner joining the body to the neck seen in the lute, the gittern's body and neck always joined in a smooth curve or straight line. The sickle, or occasional gentle arc pegbox, made an angle with the neck of between 30-90 degrees. Unlike the lute, most pegboxes on gitterns ended in a carving of a human or animal head.
Most gitterns were depicted as having three or (more commonly) four courses of double strings played with a quill plectrum. Each course of strings was attached to an endpin, which was laterally inserted into the pegbox. Although there is not much direct information concerning gittern tuning, the later versions were quite possibly tuned in fourths and fifths like the mandore a few decades later. Frets were represented in a few depictions (mainly Italian), though absent in French and English depictions. Like nearly all early instruments, the gittern's sound hole was covered with a rosette (a delicate wood carving or parchment cutting).
The construction and shape resemble folk fiddles, including the Calabrian lira, Byzantine lyra, gadulka, lijerica, rebec, classical kemençe, gudok and cobza. These have similar shape, a short neck, and like the gittern are carved out of a single block of wood.
Relationship between Gittern, Citole, Lute family, and Guitar family[edit]
The Gittern was a predecessor of the guitar. However, in its early form, it outwardly resembled the mandore, and was a relative of the lute inasmuch as its back was similarly rounded. In fact the gittern is considered ancestral to the mandore.[5] The instrument developed into both lute forms and guitar forms, or the name was applied to both.[5] In its lute family form, it survived into the 18th century as the mandore in France, and into the 21st century as the mandolin.[5] In its guitar family form, it survived into the 21st century.[5]
Some have pointed out that there have been errors in scholarship (starting in the 19th century) which led to the mandore being called gittern and vice versa.[10] This does not deny that the instruments are related, just that they are not the same instrument. Among the differences, gitterns and mandores were tuned differently.[10] Also, the gittern was much smaller, and had no clear division between the body and neck. Generally its body and neck were constructed from a single piece of wood, where lutes/mandores were constructed from staves glued together. There was similar confusion with the citole.[10] As a result of this uncertainty, many modern sources refer to gitterns as mandoras, and to citoles as gitterns.
- Names in English: gittern, giterninge, giterne, cittern, cittarn.
- Names in French: gviterre, guisterne, guitarre, guiterne, guyterne, guiterre, quinterne, quitaire, quitarre, citterna
- Names in Italian: chitarino, chitarra, cythara
- Name in German: Quinterne, Toppel Cytar
- Name in Spanish: guitarra
The Spanish "guitarra", the Italian "chitarra", and the French "guitarre" are derived from the Greek "kithara" via the Arabic "qītārā".[11]
The English and the Germans borrowed their names from the French.[11] "Guiterne" was the standard usage in English until the 16th century.[11] The occurrence of the use of the word "guita(r)e" remained rare.[11]
The French "quitaire", became "qui(n)terne" as a result of confusion with the unrelated Latin word "quinterna", meaning fivefold.[11]
Although the common use of the lute shape was displaced by the vihuela (similar to a guitar), the immediate change of name did not follow. Both "guiterne" and "guiterre" fell out of use in the 17th century.
Role in literature[edit]
The gittern entered Europe in the 13th century from Arab countries. It is referred to originally in French literature. From around 1270 onwards, it was continually mentioned, although it was only commonly depicted after 1300.
It was mentioned by French poet Guillaume de Machaut in his 14th-Century poem La prize d'Alexandrie: "Lutes, moraches and guiterne / were played in taverns".
The gittern was often referenced from the 14th to early 15th century, including the inventory of several courts. Charles V of France's court recorded four, including one of ivory, while the courts of Este and Ferrara recorded the hiring of gittern masters. However, the gittern was also popular with amateur musicians of every class, owing to its portability and ease of playing. Dante, referring to the structure of the gittern, said, "just as it would be blameworthy operation to make a spade of a fine sword or a goblet of a fine gittern." It was frequently recorded as being used in taverns, often for serenading.
Another 14th-Century author, Geoffrey Chaucer, mentioned the gittern in the Canterbury Tales as being played by people who frequent taverns. In The Miller's Tale, Absalom serenades a woman outside her window:[12]
"Now was ther of that chirche a parish clerk, the which that was ycleped [called] Absalon... and as wel coud he play on a giterne. In all the town n'as [there never was] brewhous ne [nor] taverne, that he ne visited with his solas [solos]."[13]
Chaucer also mentioned the giterne's use in The Cooks Tale.,[12] linking together the gittern and rebab as being similar instruments, used for similar purposes. Al konne he pleye on gyterne or ribible (all can he play on gittern or rebab).[14]
During its heyday of popularity, the instrument was included in religious literature. Theologian Jean Gerson, in a French sermon, compared the four cardinal virtues to "la guiterne de quatre cordes" (the gittern of four chords).

An arrest has been made in Effingham County, Illinois in connection with the death of 7 year old Willow Long.
22 year old Justin Deryke, of Watson, Ill., was arrested early this morning and will face murder charges in connection with the death of Long.
The body of a small child was found last night by volunteers that were searching for 7 year old Willow Long.
Effingham Sheriff's Department says no positive identification of the body has been made.
An autopsy to determine the child's identity and cause of death is scheduled for today.
Police are continuing their search for missing seven year old Willow Long.
She was last seen Sunday morning.
Authorities believe that she may have wandered away from her Watson home.
Many volunteers have searched the area but so far nothing has been found.
Since police believe that she wandered away from home and was not abducted there has been no amber alert.
Of course if police are wrong in their assumption as to what happened to the little girl it could be too late.
If you know anything or have seen anything that might help, contact police.
The Effingham Sheriff's Dept. number is (217) 342-2102.

There seems to be a bug with gathering disk stats on Windows. Can you confirm whether there are any symlinks in the path to your data files?
Not that I know of (I don't recall creating any) - is there some way I could confirm this for you?
Likely not if you didn't do anything manually. We're still digging into the logs, I'll let you know if anything else pops up.

And I cannot stress enough that those DNA tests are NOT absolute truth!!!!! Depending on the test, it's only taking into account a fraction of your ancestors PLUS science doesn't have a DNA bank with blood samples from every person who ever was. They've got a few samples from some people in some populations from the time we discovered DNA was a thing until now.
At best, it gives you a ballpark idea. Proceed with EXTREME caution and knowledge about what information you're actually getting.

The July event will get underway beginning at 6:30pm. Male High School is located at 4409 Preston Highway.
