So yesterday, I turned 28 years old. I was 23 when I started blogging so I've pretty much gone from early 20s to late 20s on this blog. Here's my blog entry from a year ago when I turned 27. The things I said in that entry still hold true for me. I don't mind getting older. I suppose it will mind it once I get to the age where my age actually holds me back from doing things I want to do but I'm still not at that point. In fact, I'm pretty much in the best shape of my life. In January of this year I discovered CrossFit and I've been pretty hooked on it ever since. Here are two pictures, approximately one year apart (May 2009 to June 2010):
I can see a pretty significant difference there. That represents approximately 45 lbs of weight loss although I guess you can't really see the gut that I've pretty much lost. I've still got some body composition stuff that I'm in the process of changing (ie, losing some more fat, gaining some muscle) but I'm in really good shape compared to any other point in my life. I still feel out of shape sometimes just because of the people I'm competing against at CrossFit but the reality is that I am in good shape now and I'm getting into better shape. So I'm pretty happy about that. It's great doing this at the age of 28 and I plan on being in ridiculously good shape at the age of 29 next year.
For my birthday, I spent a good portion of the day hanging out at a mansion in Henderson that yellowsub is renting, along with a bunch of other players. The people in the house include sub, his girlfriend, Kyle Ray (kpr16), an aussie kid named Rob, a british kid named Tom, some guy named like Yager or something like that, Clay Newman (cnew27) and Dr_Olson. Five people from Athens, GA are visiting sub and Lauren so all of us hung out at the pool and then we went to a place called Dos Caminos at the Palazzo. The food was really good; I got a scallop/rice dish. I definitely recommend the restaurant. If you go, be sure to get the guacamole. Here's a picture of me blowing out the candle on my birthday "cake":
You can see Taylor "The Godfather" Douglas (of thepokerfilm and WSOP 1500NL fame) on my left taking a pic of his own. I know that he's a huge fan of natarem.com so I had to make sure he got his pic on the site. At the end of dinner we obv CCRed (although some of the Athens crew bought out) and I ended up getting heads up with sub before he ended up paying (standard).
After the Palazzo, we headed over to the Gold Coast (yes, the Gold Coast) for some gambling and bowling. I don't really like table games for obv reasons. I'm not a gambler unless I think I have an edge or it's actually a lot of fun. Playing in the pit in a depressing casino… not fun for me. Anyway, I did play a little roulette (won $12!!) and some of the other Athens people were gambling it up. I snapped this picture of a decent sized red bet (obv it landed on black):
The girl in the pic is one of the Athens people. She had, apparently, never gambled before in her life. She had a lot of fun playing slots, blackjack and roulette so I'm pretty sure she's hooked now. Nothing like the Gold Coast to get you hooked on gambling.
So after the stop in the pit, we headed over to the bowling alley (the real reason we went to the Gold Coast) and got a few lanes. Brainwash (Tyler Cornell) was there with some of his friends from SoCal and, obviously, we bet on the games. The first game I didn't have a bet and I bowled pretty horribly. I kept leaving frames open which is obviously pretty bad. By the end of the first game I'd bowled like 115, brainwash had bowled like 105 and sub bowled like 155 or something. I ended up betting sub $50 getting 25 pins and I bet brainwash $50 at even money. This is the outcome of the game:
I'm N82 on the top left, obviously sub is sub and Ty on the right is brainwash. It was a really sick ending for me and brain. As you can see, I went into the final frame up one but it wasn't quite that clear at the time because brain had a spare. He got a strike his first shot in the 10th frame (I'd already recorded my crappy 123) and he only needed a 9 to tie or a strike to win. He threw a ball right down the middle and left the 4/7 and 6/10 split which is really really difficult to get a 9 or spare. He ended up with an 18 in the 10th frame and lost the $50 bet by one pin. So I was up $100 after winning $50 from sub and $50 from brain.
Then the next and last game I declined to bet sub because he didn't want to give up any pins and I didn't think that was fair even though we ended about even on the 2nd game. I was bowling horribly but I did end up placing a $50 bet with brainwash where I gave him five pins. I won't narrate the whole thing but I was basically screwed in the 9th frame before going on a strike-strike open to start the 10th and make my 9th worth 30 pins. Really sick considering how I was bowling. That won the 2nd bet from brainwash when I ended up with 164 and he bowled 138 (143 for the bet). Here's a pic of it:
Including another small $10 bet I won from brain on a specific shot, that put me up $160 from bowling. Not bad. Brain said the $110 was my birthday present. That's more than I got from anyone else so I'll take it. He was really drunk by the end of the night after pounding beer pitchers and, as we were walking out of the bowling alley, he attempted to slide down the stair railing on the way back down to the casino floor. It didn't go so well. He fell over backwards on the railing and landing on his back/side and then rolled over his head/neck before coming to a stop on the stairs. I wish I had video of it. He tried it again (smart guy) and I took video but unfortunately/fortunately he made it down okay. Even though it's uneventful, here's the video:
And I guess that was the end of the night. I didn't get to sleep until like 5:30 but I'd say it was a pretty fun birthday.

micoach is all you need to get the results you want.
(2 Products)
Your SelectionClear All
I tried on their older slides at my friends house its the reason i decided to buy these but the older ones were a lot more spongy and comfortable they seamed to have more of the fit foam. But these are still very comfortable, bought these for a trip im taking and will come in handy when walking through the big resort. I use them at home when cooking, when doing a lot of standing, your feet don't get as tired as they would bare foot, you can stand comfortably for hours and this is the reason i bought them so i would defiantly vouch for these slippers, but I hope they go back to their old cushioning standard. ... read more
I was given a pair of the Superstars, as a gift, about 5 years ago. These have became my every day "relaxing shoes". Upon returning from a day's work wearing leather business shoes, nothing feels better, then when I slip on my Adidas Superstars! I know they can be worn anywhere but I like to keep them especially clean for wearing around the house. Well, after years of pleasure (and still just as comfortable), I asked for a new pair for my birthday. I'm wearing them right now, as I write this review. And let me tell you, they're just as slamming comfortable as my first pair,which I now wear outside! Thank you Adidas, for maintaining the same model/style and quality in your sandal. ... read more
I love these sandals so much. The memory foam makes these sandals the most comfortable pair I have ever worn, besides the first pair of Adidas Superstar 3G Slides I bought 6 years ago and wore until the foam was completely flat. These sandals never loose their comfort; I will always have a pair as long as they are in production! ... read more
After having worn the previous 2G Slides for a couple of years, these 3G Slides are a big disappointment. The 3Gs do not provide as good a cushion for the feet as the 2Gs did, and the outer soles are so poorly designed that they make a loud clomping sound when walking on a wood floor. Adidas, please bring back the 2G Slides! ... read more
The sandals are very comfortable with the exception of the placement of the seams throughout the foam insole. It becomes quite annoying to have them there. The only other gripe is the fact that they must've been designed for someone with really narrow feet. A little more adjust-ability in the Velcro would be appreciated! ... read more
I purchased the same pair last year. Ever since, I have worn them every day as slippers or indoor sandals. In fact, when I tried wearing my shearling slippers, I found these slides more comfortable! These are very cushioned, feel great, and are healthy for your feet. The only con is the fabric material that may shred and create holes on that beautiful cushion. i.e. my reason for buying another pair. ... read more
I got the white slides with black stripes and I tell you, they are the most classiest slides that I have seen. Not only do they look fashionable, but they feel very comfortable thanks to the FITFOAM. I wouldn't mind standing in them all day. They also keep my feet cooler and drier, whereas my sneakers would be too hot and tiring to wear over long periods of time. Not to mention the ability to slip on and off with ease. Perfect Fit. ... read more
Overall very happy with these sandals. I purchased these for my father for christmas and he love's them. They are very comfortable as the midsole of the shoe is made to be. However as soon as you put weight onto it it literally smashes down to about 1/8". I tried these on when I had to go outside and I had to walk on a wet sidewalk. During the walk I never encountered any slippage whatsoever. Keep in mind I weigh 205lbs and Im 6'0. So far so good, but we shall see how long these will last. ... read more
I had the gel version of these previously and loved them so much. I have Mortons Foot and hard services are difficult to tolerate for me. These are good but not as good as the gel ones I had from a few years ago. This is why I gave it a 4 start rather than 5 stars. ... read more
I owned a pair of first generation superstar slides that i loved because they were so comfortable. When i ordered my new pair and wore them around it became evident they redesigned indentations down the middle of my new slides soles which causes me discomfort. ... read more
Hi, i just purchased a pair of these slippers they are extrememly comfortable and i can wear them all day. However im going on vacation soon and im not sure if i should wear these because my feet are going to be wet alot and im not sure if it will damage the foam or make the foam smell and then i can throw the slippers out . Please help me! ... read more
I broke my foot about a year ago and am still plagued by the pain, especially when I wear flip-flops. My pain is completely gone when I wear these!!! I assume it is this "FITFOAM® footbed"? Well, whatever it is, these slides are like pillows on your feet. AMAZING! Gonna get a backup pair. ... read more
Totally comfortable and soooo soft to walk in! Great quality. However- the reason I only rated it good is because this was the only slide that was navy blue! I had to order a men's slide for the color. The band is too wide for a womans foot so it rubs on my toe and I can only wear it for a short time. Everybody in America owns a pair of BLUEjeans- how about some navy blue products for us to wear with them!!!! ... read more
I bought these sandals as a birthday gift for my husband. He says they are very comfortable and I think they are very stylish. The reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because I paid extra for 2 days shipping but actually took 3 days to receive them. ... read more
I bought my first pair of adida slides five years ago and they are still good to go. Now I have one pair to go and another for show. I will wear adida slides from now until I sprout wings and maybe for eturnity if they make them there. I am old and adida slides are the most durable slip-ons I have ever owned. I just bought a new pair and the old pair are still just as good as they were when I bought them. Thanks adida ... read more

Crematorium Bid Farewell to The Knitting Factory as It Heads for Nevada
The Knitting Factory's Hollywood location, a fixture on Hollywood Blvd. since 2000, closed its doors in the wee hours of Oct. 26 after the three-stage club held its final shows Oct. 25. In attendance were supporters of the Los Angeles metal scene, industry personnel and Church of the 8th Day, vehement supporters of the local and national metal scene, and promoter/booking agent for many of The Knitting Factory's extreme metal shows since 2005.

A group of company grade and non-commissioned officers†from the Air Force Research Laboratory Detachment 7†painted the Douglas PGM-17A "Thor" at the Air Force Flight Test Museum Sept. 20.
According to 1st Lt. Jonathan Fullenkamp, Advanced Tactical Booster Technology Demonstrator deputy program manager , the paint job was part two of the project. Volunteers, led by Tech. Sgt. Jeremy Page and Staff Sgt. Timothy Burkins, came out earlier in the year to give it a pressure wash and primer coat.
Thor is now painted in its original white paint scheme. Fullenkamp explained that Thor was the predecessor to Atlas, Peacekeeper and Minuteman missiles.
"Back in the 1950s this was prime technology," said Fullenkamp. "But its range is much shorter than what we can do today."
Thor is an operational intermediate range ballistic missile that is 65 feet long and weighs 105,000 pounds. The missile used a single-stage North American Rocketdyne LR-79 liquid oxygen rocket motor which provided 150,000 pounds of static thrust giving Thor a range of 2,000 miles. The motor was tested extensively at Edwards AFB's†Rocket Propulsion Laboratory.
The SM-75/PGM-19A Thor intermediate range ballistic missile was the product of the early Cold War race to deploy nuclear armed missiles before the Soviets. Thor was designed to be an interim nuclear deterrent while the U.S. Air Force developed long-range intercontinental ballistic missiles as a top national priority. The IRBM concept called for a missile with a range of about 1,500 miles that would be based in Europe. Great Britain agreed to host four IRBM bases, and Thors were operational in England from June 1959 to August 1963. Royal Air Force crews operated the missiles, but U.S. Air Force personnel controlled their nuclear warheads.
The first successful launch was in 1957 and it went into active military service the following year. It was launched from a combination transporter-erector vehicle and was directed to its target by a self-contained inertial guidance system.
"Because we're so far separated, we try to use these volunteer opportunities to stay connected with the Edwards community as a whole," said Fullenkamp. "With AFRL being a tenant unit and 30 miles away sometimes we lose sight of what's going on down here and vice versa so we try to use these opportunities to stay connected."

While freshmen challenge sophomores in these events, older students always volunteer as coaches for both teams. This kind of unity and support, in the midst of historic rivalry, characterize the Hope community.
Deeper—and active!
Hope students tell us that relationships "go deeper" here. Late-night conversations that range from Socrates to Scripture fuel that intensity; so does an unquenchable school spirit. Last year 2,700 students engaged in sports—amazing, even allowing for involvement in more than one.
"I wanted to play club hockey, and at Hope I noticed the sense of community was very strong. People talked to me without knowing who I was. That plus the Christian atmosphere made me feel at home."
Andrew Haggerty '12
From NCAA Championship teams to 80-plus student organizations, you'll find daily life here diverse, vibrant and genuine. It stimulates you to discover, as theologian Frederick Buechner says, where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet.
More about others
You haven't seen enthusiasm until you see Hope students put their concern for others into action. Dance Marathon, just one event, last year raised $90,000 in 24 hours for DeVos Children's Hospital—and connected our dancers with families who appreciate Hope students' generosity.
Because this kind of involvement also develops deep bonds among our students, we kick off the school year with a half-day of service—an easy way for freshmen to get to know each other and the surrounding community. Whether they come from New York, Indiana or California, students love downtown Holland's coffee bars, restaurants and shops just two blocks from campus. The College's Sailing Club competes on nearby Lake Michigan—also the site of the annual plunge of participants in the Hope Men's Way retreat.
All these opportunities inspired the 2011 Fiske Guide to Colleges to describe Hope as one of "the country's best and most interesting schools, not only emphasizing academic strengths but also highlighting the college's friendly environment and sense of community."

Deep Space Chronicle: A Chronology of Deep Space and Planetary Probes 1958-2000, Monographs in Aerospace History No. 24, by Asif A. Siddiqi
National Space Science Data Center, http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/
Solar System Log by Andrew Wilson, published 1987 by Jane's Publishing Co. Ltd.
Venera 9 was the first of a new generation of Soviet space probes (4V) designed to explore Venus. Launched by the more powerful Proton launch booster, the new spacecraft were nearly five times heavier than their predecessors.
Each spacecraft comprised both an orbiter and a lander. The 2,300-kilogram orbiters (at Venus orbit insertion) were designed to spend their missions photographing the planet in ultraviolet light and conducting other scientific investigations. The landers, of a completely new design, employed aerodynamic braking during Venusian atmospheric entry and contained a panoramic photometer to take images of the surface.
Without any apparent problems and with two trajectory corrections (on 16 June and 15 October), Venera 9's lander separated from its parent on 20 October 1975, and two days later, it hit Venus's turbulent atmosphere at a speed of 10.7 kilometers per hour.
After using a series of parachutes, the lander set down on the planet's day side at 05:13 UT on 22 October. Landing coordinates were 32° north latitude and 291° longitude at the base of a hill near Beta Regio. During its 53 minutes of transmissions from the surface, Venera 9 took and transmitted the very first picture of the Venusian surface from a height of 90 centimeters.
These were, in fact, the very first photos received of the surface of another planet. The lander was supposed to transmit a full 360° panorama, but because one of the two covers on the camera failed to release, only a 180° panorama was received. Illumination was akin to that of a cloudy day on Earth. The image clearly showed flat rocks strewn around the lander.
The Venera 9 orbiter meanwhile entered a 1,500 x 111,700-kilometer orbit around the planet at 34?10' inclination and acted as a communications relay for the lander. It became the first spacecraft to go into orbit around Venus.
The Soviets announced on 22 March 1976 that the orbiter's primary mission, which included using French-made ultraviolet cameras to obtain photographs in 1,200-kilometer swaths, had been fulfilled.

Deep Space Chronicle: A Chronology of Deep Space and Planetary Probes 1958-2000, by Asif A. Siddiqi, NASA Monographs in Aerospace History No. 24
NASA's HEASARC Observatories, http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/heasarc/missions/marsobs.html
Mars Observer was designed to carry out a high-resolution photography mission of the Red Planet over the course of a Martian year (687 days) from a 378 x 350-km polar orbit. Mars Observer carried a suite of instruments to investigate Martian geology, atmosphere and climate in order to fill in gaps in our knowledge of planetary evolution. A mere 31 minutes after launch, the new Transfer Orbit Stage (TOS) fired to boost the spacecraft on an encounter trajectory with Mars.
After a 725-million-km voyage lasting eleven months, just two days prior to planned entry into Mars orbit, the spacecraft suddenly fell silent at 01:00 UT on 22 August 1993.
Despite vigorous efforts to regain contact, Mars Observer remained quiet. When the spacecraft did not reestablish command as a result of a stored program that was designed to do so in case of five days of silence, mission planners finally gave up hope on salvaging the mission. The results of a five-month investigation proved to be inconclusive, but one likely cause of the catastrophic failure may have been a fuel line rupture that could have damaged the spacecraft's electronics, throwing the vehicle into a spin.
Before contact with the spacecraft was lost, approximately two months of total data from the gamma ray spectrometer was successfully collected, including spectral observations of one burst.

Recipe by Ghirardelli®
"These impressive candies are so easy to make, and are a stunning addition to a dessert tray."
Watch video tips and tricks
1/3 cup
heavy cream
6 tablespoons
unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 3/4 cups
Ghirardelli® 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
1/3 cup
Ghirardelli Unsweetened Cocoa
This is how I make my chocolate truffles. Except when they are done I freeze them and then dip them into melted chocolate thinned with oil. They are also easier to shape into a ball when froze slightly in the bowl or after scooped onto a baking sheet. A 1 tblsp. good quality cookie scoop is the best to use. And, to flavor the chocolate add flavor liquors to taste. The sky is the limit on what to rolls them in or sprinkle or drizzle them with. Semi-sweet chocolate chips can also be subtituted, as bittersweet chocolate has a very distinct taste, that doesn't appeal to as many people. Everyone loves these that I give them to on the holidays!
Way too rich. Messy to make. Felt like I was eating butter flavored with chocolate. The batch made a considerable amount as well.
74 Ratings
I really like this recipes. I made these very tiny because they are so rich. If you make them too big then they are a bit overwhelming. I also froze the truffle and then dipped them in candy mold chocolate. This made an outer shell with a creamy center.
This is a delicious, simple, and FAST recipe. I used salted butter and 2 king size Hershey's special dark chocolate bars (about 12 ounces, or 2 cups of chips) and they were perfect! We used the small end of a melon baller and they were just the right size. We rolled some in cocoa powder (which I found too bitter) and some in milk chocolate (which is way too much work! not worth it to me). Next time I might try the nuts, or roll them in a sweeter powder like powdered sugar or even a hot chocolate mix. Basically, you just need something to keep your fingers from melting the delicious and decadent truffle part while you get it into your mouth! I also think they taste better slightly chilled rather than at room temperature.
I just combined all the ingredients at once in a saucepan and heated them up until it was smooth, then I put it in a bowl and into the freezer. It didn't take very long and they came out great. just like store bought.
I made these this morning for a Valentine's treat for my boys tonight. I made no changes or substitutions Very very simple. I had one today and it's wonderful. NOTE: I've made this recipe before so whenever I make truffles, I make uniform sized balls using my small cookie scoop, roll them into a ball and if I don't roll them in coconut flakes or chopped nuts, I line them in a small foil-lined pan with sides (this is so they don't roll off). I then stick them in the freezer until they're firm.
Worked very well. I'd probably use a little more cream next time, to increase the softness factor, but these were pretty nicely soft on their own. I like the taste the butter adds. I used salted butter instead of unsalted--I'm pretty sure I wouldn't do that again unless I was rolling them in nuts. Thanks for the recipe!
Very easy and quick to make. I covered mine in both milk chocolate and the other half in white chocolate. Brought them into work today and there were none left. Will make again. Very pretty and quite yummy!

Hey ... this probably sounds like a dumb idea, but I was thinking of welding an air tank out of 1/8" steel.
That would be much thicker than store-bought tanks, and I would even be able to treat the inside with rust-prevention compound -- like the rust-proofing they use on cars.
I think to bend the steel into a cylinder would be very difficult, so the best way to do it would be a 16 X 16 X 48" box, which would be about 53 gallons.
I know that a square box isn't as strong as a cylinder, but with 1/8" steel, it should be overkill, right?
What do you think? Criticism and suggestions are welcome!

welding an air tank?
The variables are based upon your skills and your ability to test the stenght of the tank.
But by the time you you have the steel and welding equipment together, it maybe cheap to buy a used tank.
Just my thoughts,
I welded up a tank 25 years ago to use in a wood boiler, i made it from sheet 1/8" plate. It was 24x24x3" thick. I pressured it up with air to test it and the sides pushed out like a big fluffy pillow, now it is 6" wide in the middle. Needless to say i didn't use it but it didn't leak either.
This is just my opinion, i would not build a tank today because of the liability if something did happen even way years down the road unless you are certified for pressure vessle work...Bob
New tanks aren't that expensive from even Graingers.

Ok ... that was a bad idea ... my apologies :-)
If you're thinking of making your tank to save money,........don't. But if you need a custom size then try it if your welding skills are up to par. If it is a square and you don't want it to pillow out maybe you could put a rod through
it and weld the ends or just use heavier plate. I would restrict this idea to small tanks like on a motorcycle or small project. Tank failure danger would probably be in proportion to its size. Persons using old freon tanks and such
being discouraged is because of the internal rusting and weakening of the tank from moisture from compressing moist air. The tanks are capable of holding pressure greater than most home shop air systems plus they have a pressure safety on them. What will go into the tank and at what pressure is the key issue. I would much rather be around a small tank that failed than
a large say 80 gal that burst. There is a lot of kinetic energy there. Be careful.

yeah ... I'm definitely not going to try to weld an air tank ... that was just a bad idea all around. A few days ago, I found those same pics you linked to and didn't like the look of it at all!!
Notice that they mentioned that the drain valve was removed and the outlet was plugged up. That's obviously why it got so rusty in the first place. Me ... I did the exact opposite. On my little dual-tank nail-gun compressor, I put two ball valves on it so that I could drain them more easily. I always drain them after each use, and tilt the compressor around to make sure all the water is draining out.
About the freon tanks ... I've been thinking of ganging together a few of the disposable tanks ... they are rated at 250 psi, which is 50 psi greater than the store-bought compressor tanks. The only downside is they have no plumbing for a drain valve. So ... perhaps I can carfully weld in a drain valve there. I haven't decided yet.
Thanks for all the input ... and keep the ideas coming!! This is very helpful.
Have you thought about seeing if your local bottle gas place has gas bottles and or vessels that don't meet pressure standards, they would make great bottle for 200psi.
I have never done this, so I am not if it will work, I just thought I throw out this idea.

If I do go with the freon tanks, I'm going to spray the inside with some kind of rust preventative. I'll have to be able to get a wand in there or something. Or maybe I can use an agricultural sprayer to get inside and coat it with something. Anybody have any ideas what kind of spray would work well for that? Paint? Rubberized undercoating (not the oily kind)? Other ideas?
I think the key thing is to take proper care of whatever tanks you use.
I would just use a good primer and some oil base paint, pour it in the valve hole, coat the inside, then turn it upside down to drain and air out. If you want to get real fancy use some POR15 gas tank sealer that stuff is tough as nails...BobBob Wright, Grandson of Tee Nee Boat Trailer Founder

The investigation continues to unfold into one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history. On December 14, 2012, 20-year-old Adam Lanza fatally shot his mother at their home before going on a shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, that left six adults and 20 children dead. As authorities search for answers, the shootings have reopened a nationwide debate about gun control and mental health.
Read our blog below to see some of the key developments in the case.
[Updated 4:26 p.m. ET] The National Rifle Assocation of America has released a statement regarding the shootings in Newtown, Connecticut. The statement reads:
The National Rifle Association of America is made up of four million moms and dads, sons and daughters – and we were shocked, saddened and heartbroken by the news of the horrific and senseless murders in Newtown.
Out of respect for the families, and as a matter of common decency, we have given time for mourning, prayer and a full investigation of the facts before commenting.
The NRA is prepared to offer meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again.
The NRA also plans to hold a press conference on Friday.
[Updated 2:05 p.m. ET] HLN has obtained a letter sent from Janet Robinson, Newtown Superintendent of Schools, to parents and staff. In it she says that they now plan for Sandy Hook students to start back in class after the holiday break in January, not before.
In the letter she says, "we need to tend to our teachers' and students' needs to feel comfortable after this trauma in this new place." She goes on to say "teachers may be calling you to invite you to visit Chalk Hill with your child this week to walk around and see the classroom and get familiar this new Sandy Hook home."
She also says that when school starts there will be police presence inside and outside the school.
[Updated 1:20 p.m. ET] The Head O'Meadow School was placed on lockdown as a "precaution" this morning, according to authorities. No word as to why the school was on lockdown.
[Updated 12:30 p.m. ET] HLN freelance reporter Rita Cosby talked with Connecticut Chief Medical Examiner H. Wayne Carver II and learned the autopsies of Adam Lanza and his mother Nancy Lanza were completed on Sunday.
The autopsies show Nancy Lanza was shot four times in the head while she slept in her bed at the family home on Friday. Adam Lanza died at the school from a single, self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
The bodies of the Lanzas remain in the custody of the state medical examiner's office and have not yet been claimed. When the bodies are claimed, it will not be announced to the public. The Lanzas' family has asked that their funerals be private.
Carver said he was told that Adam Lanza was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrone. But he says he doesn't know whether Adam was correctly diagnosed, and the medical examiner says such a diagnosis would have nothing to do with his violent behavior.
[Updated 10:19 a.m. ET] The New York Times has published the text of the eulogy Veronique Pozner delivered at her 6-year-old son Noah's funeral on Monday.
[Updated 8:31 a.m. ET] Dick's Sporting Goods, one of the largest sporting goods retailers in the world, says it has removed all guns from its store nearest to Newtown, Connecticut, and is suspending the sale of certain kinds of semi-automatic rifles from its chains nationwide.
[Updated 8:10 a.m. ET] Watch the coaches and contestants from NBC's "The Voice" sing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" in tribute to the victims of Sandy Hook:
[Updated 7:40 a.m. ET, Tuesday, December 18] Most students in Newtown, Connecticut, will return to class to day. It is not clear when the children of Sandy Hook Elementary will resume their studies.
[Updated 5:52 p.m. ET] All Newtown schools except Sandy Hook will re-open Tuesday on a 2-hour delay, according to school system superintendent Janet Robinson.
[Updated 5:30 p.m. ET] Authorities are searching smashed computer parts found at the home of Adam Lanza and his mother Nancy Lanza in hopes of shedding light in the shooting.
[Updated 4:05 p.m. ET] Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy calls for a statewide moment of silence this Friday for the one-week anniversary of the school shootings.
[Updated 3:24 p.m. ET] The ATF has confirmed that Adam Lanza and his mother have frequented several gun ranges over the course of several years. They are not naming the ranges, but it establishes that he is familiar with weapons and has been shooting for years.
[Updated 2:45 p.m. ET] In Newtown, "comfort dogs" are arriving to cheer up grieving residents, reports the Chicago Tribune.
[Updated 2:29 p.m. ET] An iReporter asks: Should we arm our schoolkids? "Nobody was addressing the elephant in the room."

[Updated 1:00 p.m. ET] "I know, we know that the people, this town of Newtown, wants to know what happened … we'll paint a crystal-clear picture of what happened," Vance said.
[Updated 12:56 p.m.] At his second news conference of the day Connecticut State Police Lt. J. Paul Vance gave an update on the survivors, saying that two victims "were wounded in the lower extremities." He also continued to plead for people to respect the victims' kin.

[Updated 8:49 p.m. ET] Obama vows to use his power to prevent more tragedies like this. "What choice do we have? We can't accept events like these as routine."
[Updated 8:47 p.m. ET] Obama says it's the fourth time we have consoled each other as a nation over violence from mass shootings. "We can't tolerate this anymore. These tragedies must end. And to end them, we must change."
[Updated 8:42 p.m. ET] Obama: "As a community, you have inspired us Newtown. In the face of indescribable violence, in the face of unconsciousable evil, you looked out for each other, you cared for one another and you loved one another."
[Updated 8:36 p.m. ET] President Obama offers condolences on behalf of the nation to the grieving Connecticut town. "Newtown, you are not alone."

Our reporting as of 2:45 p.m. ET:
A law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation tells HLN "closer to 30" people, including 18 to 20 children, have been killed in Friday's Connecticut elementary school shooting.
Police Lt. Paul Vance, speaking to reporters at a midday news conference, said, "There were several fatalities at the scene," including children. "The shooter is deceased inside the building ... there's a great deal of search warrant activity" going on, he said.
In addition to the gunman, the school's principal and a guidance counselor are dead, according to police and a parent who witnessed the incident.
The shooting took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, which is about 60 miles north of New York.
Meredith Artley, the managing editor of CNN.com, has a friend who's a parent of a student at the school. "She volunteers with the school as well," Artley said on CNN air.
The woman was in close vicinity to the shooting, which happened in the hallway, according to Artley. "She described it as a 'Pop, pop, pop' in the hall… she said three people went out into the hall [the principal, the vice principal and a guidance counselor] and only one person came back, the vice principal, she said, who was shot in the leg or the foot, who came crawling back."
The witness said she "cowered under the table during that moment and called 911, as did the other people in the room. She never saw the shooting. There must have been a hundred rounds ... she said, at least."
"This is still an active crime scene," CNN's Susan Candiotti said, who added that investigators found the body of the gunman in a classroom. Police have recovered two weapons. It is still unclear how many victims there are, but multiple media outlets are reporting fatalities at the scene. The nature of their injuries are unclear.
Danbury, Connecticut, Mayor Mark Boughton tells CNN at least three people have been hospitalized. "There are very serious injuries."
Sandy Hook is on lockdown, a Newtown police spokesman tells CNN. Live aerial shots show police officers walking around the school with canines. Authorities will hold an afternoon news conference.
Mike Branchflower, a local parent with four kids, told HLN he got an automated phone call from the school about the incident. His children attend other schools in the district. He said parents are shaken over the shooting.
"It's a numbness at the moment. Your first thought is with the families that are there," he said.

Christine Wilford, a parent at the school, told HLN, "We got a phone call from the emergency number that all the schools were being put into lockdown due to reports of a shooting," she said.
Wilford said she was reunited with her 7-year-old son shortly after. She described the feeling as "Relief, tears." When asked how her son was doing, she said, "He said he was OK, that he had been brave, that he didn't cry," he said.
"I do have friends who are still searching for their children," she said. "They're not telling them much," she said, referring to authorities.

Teary-eyed parents are streaming from the local fire station, which has been transformed into a makeshift triage, according to CNN's David Ariosto, who is on the scene. Many of the parents are being told that their children were killed.
"It just seems so unreal; my heart is in a million pieces right now," a parent said on air.
