Christ Church in Covington offers the community the opportunity to broaden their appreciation and enjoyment of musical styles that can range from jazz to the classics. The free Third Sunday Concert Series will continue Jan. 20 at 5 p.m., with the Louisiana State University Faculty Jazz Trio. Concerts are held at the church, located at 129 N. New Hampshire in Covington.
"Third Sunday Concerts began in 1989 as a dream of the then Music Advisory Committee, which I chaired at the time," said Margaret Mashburn. "The committee felt that there was a need to provide quality music to our community on the Northshore free of charge and also provide a venue for some of the amazing talent in our greater community.
"There was nothing like it in this area; you had to go to New Orleans or Baton Rouge. The space in our church was perfect acoustically and it provided a warm, relaxing environment for everyone from the elderly to youn children. Each concert would last only one hour, which is a perfect length for children. We sent out solicitation letters, arranged with artists and held our breath."
The first concert was held in January of 1990 and there were 250 people in attendance.
"The Third Sunday concerts are truly a committee effort," Mashburn said. "The church provides ancillary services. Compensation for artists is provided by donations from our church community, as well as the community at large. Our budget has grown thanks to the generosity of our donors; therefore, we have been able to engage some larger groups."
The LSU Faculty Jazz Trio, featuring Bill Grimes, Brian Shaw and Willis Delony, will perform songs from "The Great American Songbook," a collection of memorable tunes, with lyrics that rhyme and are understandable.
The Feb. 17 concert will feature John Rankin on guitar, along with Tom Fischer on clarinet and saxophone.
On March 24, Musaica will perform Irish, environmental and Verdi themes.
It is a nonprofit chamber ensemble founded in the fall of 2006 by eight devoted professional musicians from the Louisiana Philharmonic and from Loyola and Tulane Universities.
The April 21 concert will present the Southeastern Louisiana University Choir, directed by Dr. Alissa Rowe of Southeastern Louisiana University.
The Concert Choir will be performing the Johannes Brahms "Liebeslieder Walzer." This is a piece for four-hand piano -- two pianists -- along with mixed chorus. The pianists will be SLU department head Kenneth Boulton and his wife JoAnne Barry.
The Pfister Sisters, featuring Yvette Voelker, Debbie Davis and Holley Bendtsen, along with Amasa Miller on piano will perform on May 19, harmonizing jazz and boogie woogie songs of the 40s in the style of the Boswell Sisters and the Andrews Sisters.
The concerts all begin at 5 p.m. and are followed by receptions to meet the musicians, which are coordinated by Anne Butts.
"They are an important part of the experience," Mashburn said. "Some of our attendees have been meeting at our receptions for over 22 years and didn't know each other before. They are very loyal to our series and we are so appreciative of that."
For information about the Third Sunday Concert Series, call the church at 892.3177.

I first met Kathy Brickley when I was a young prosecutor and she was a defense attorney. She was a formidable opponent who was ethical and worked hard for her clients. Years later, after I took the bench it soon became clear that Brickley was one of those few lawyers judges love to see in court: the kind who are bright, articulate, and can spot the crux of the issues quickly.
When it was announced that she had been appointed to the Van Buren Circuit Court I was very pleased that the governor had selected the best person available. Judge Brickley has hit the ground running, and has quickly made a name for herself among her colleagues across this state for her scholarship, wisdom and common sense. Van Buren County citizens are fortunate to have her serving, and I wholeheartedly recommend they vote to retain her on Nov. 6.

Staff Report
One blogger is trying to figure out the snobbiest town in Vermont — and Woodstock is in the running.
Our fair town was one of four No. 1 seeds in a bracket called the 2013 Tournament of Vermont Snobbery, posted at noseupvt.tumblr.com. The other No. 1 seeds are Stowe, Middlebury and Shelburne.
"For years the residents of the Green Mountain State have touted their superiority to all others – healthiest, smartest, greenest, beeriest. But the question remained, who rules Vermont? Finally we shall settle the age old debate and determine what town looks down upon all others in Vermont," says a post on the website.
It's a NCAA Tournament-style bracket, where voters chose the snobbier town. Once voting wraps up, a winner is chosen.
Woodstock defeated Pomfret in the first round, receiving 88 percent of the vote to its neighbor's 12 percent. Woodstock faces No. 6-seeded Norwich in the second round, which wraps up voting May 27.
So go to the website and vote for Woodstock, or vote against it, however you feel.

Keystone advisory group bucks dock name change
The Keystone Ferry Advisory Committee is recommending the Washington State Transportation Commission reject a proposal to rename the Keystone ferry terminal the Coupeville ferry terminal.
The Central Whidbey Chamber of Commerce has been leading the effort to change the name of the ferry terminal that connects Central Whidbey Island with the Olympic Peninsula. Chamber officials argue the name change would reduce confusion among tourists researching Whidbey Island. Coupeville has better name recognition than Keystone.
Julia Hodson, member of the three-person advisory committee, said people would expect a Coupeville terminal to be placed in town, not several miles away. She added that the bus connection at the terminal isn't great and walk-on passengers could find a long wait when departing the ferry.
"You would expect the ferry would land in Coupeville," Hodson said of having a Coupeville ferry terminal.
The Keystone Ferry Advisory Committee is a legislature-mandated body that acts as a liaison between the community and Washington State Ferries. In addition to Hodson, Brian Martin and Jennifer Meyer also serve on the committee.
Renaming the Keystone ferry terminal could also cause more confusion if efforts to start a ferry from Coupeville to Camano Island ever become a reality.
The Central Whidbey Chamber of Commerce submitted paperwork and letters of endorsement for the name change last week to the Washington State Transportation Commission. The commission could take the matter up as early as its July meeting scheduled in Olympia.

NBC's "Deception" sounds like it could be fun, but not as much fun as ABC's "Castle"
January 4, 2013 - Andrea Johnson
I haven't watched much TV lately, but one of the shows that's starting next week looks kind of good.
Judging by the promos, NBC's "Deception"airs at 9 p.m. Monday and is about a 30-something police detective whose wealthy, childhood best friend dies of an overdose under suspicious circumstances. Since her mother worked for the rich family when she was growing up, the detective (Meagan Good) is in the perfect position to go undercover and try to find out what really happened. The promos show typical soapy scenes: the detective reconnecting with the handsome scion of the family; the wealthy patriarch of the family looking secretive; flashbacks of the murder victim and the detective as young girls.
This is one I'd probably watch if it didn't air at the same time as one of my favorites, ABC's "Castle," which also airs at 9 p.m. Monday. "Castle" has a new episode next week that puts Castle (Nathan Fillion) under the same roof with his colorful actress mother, his college-age daughter, who has mono; his scheming first ex-wife, who insists she's there to take care of the daughter but really wants to start something up again with Castle, and his new girlfriend, police detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), whose own apartment is being fumigated. It sounds like a recipe for disaster. It also sounds hilarious. Even "Deception" isn't likely to make me miss that episode.
Luckily, today's viewers have options for watching shows online. I have a "Hulu" subscription and NBC's shows are on it.

This is the official distribution webpage of the LOOPS package for GAP 4. You will find here:
Note: The package has been accepted by GAP in May 2015 and is available with the standard distribution of GAP. A new version is under construction.
LOOPS is a package for GAP 4 whose purpose is to provide researchers in nonassociative algebra with a powerful computational tool concerning finite loops and quasigroups; and to extend GAP toward the realm of nonassociative structures.
The package consists of three complementary parts: core methods for quasigroups and loops, specific methods for loops (mainly Moufang loops), libraries of small loops.
To install LOOPS, you must have GAP version 4.7 or newer installed on your computer. Then
After this step, you will see the subfolder loops in the pkg folder.
To load LOOPS into GAP, start GAP and use LoadPackage( "loops" );.
The most recent version of LOOPS is 3.2.0.
Before you download LOOPS, you might want to check the README.loops and PackageInfo.g files, and the documentation.
The documentation for the package is included with the distribution and is located in the loops/doc folder. You can also access the documentation directly from here.

"I'm in the gym more than usual," Prince said in a March telephone interview.
She might grab an American teammate and hoist jumpers. She might lift. Or she might run – practice there is shorter than the four-hour Rutgers endurance-contests she left behind last year. Either way, it is work. No class. No study tables. No hourly restrictions. Prince chose this path last year, when she left her final season of eligibility in Piscataway and flew overseas. The impetus was both financial and developmental.
She will be in Turkey tonight during the WNBA Draft at the NBA Entertainment Studios in Secaucus. Her name should be called early. The time abroad bolstered her WNBA prospects. Most mock drafts place her in the Top 10. One league analyst, former Connecticut star Rebecca Lobo, called Prince a Top-Four pick.
Wherever she lands, it will be her fourth new team since last June. After a detour in Russia, Prince arrived in Adana, near the Mediterranean.
Life as a professional sometimes feels like life at Rutgers. There is American food. People speak English. She still faces box-and-one defenses. Her junior year at Rutgers, she averaged 19.5 points a game. Through 12 games in Turkey, she averaged 19.
But sometimes life feels different. Prince says she learned to command the floor better as a point guard. She stretches her vocal cords more.
"When I was at Rutgers, if I was labeled the point guard, what I would want to do is just pass, pass, pass," Prince said. "But now I'm knowing when to score and when to get everybody involved."
The beginning wasn't smooth. Prince played for about two months with Spartak Moscow. In November, the team's owner, a former KGB agent name Shabtai Kalmanovitch, was killed. Searching for stability, Prince left the team, said her agent, Lindsay Kagawa.
"Spartak was in the midst of a very tumultuous time and collectively, we all decided a move to Botas was the best thing for her," Kagawa wrote via email. "In the wake of Shabtai's death, a lot of teams were inquiring about our clients availability and Botas' interest in Piph came early on via those channels."
Her former AAU coach, Apache Paschall, said Prince handled the transition "like a professional." And she relished playing against someone like Tamika Catchings, the former Tennessee guard and two-time Olympian who now stars for Galatasaray.
In time, Prince bonded with American teammates like Sharnee Zoll and Courtney Paris. When one travels to the States, she buys gifts for the others.
In January, Prince visited The RAC to watch the Rutgers men play Villanova. She knew the public address announcer would tell the fans she was there. There were some nerves. She worried the crowd would boo.
They didn't.
Prince kept in touch with the Scarlet Knights via Blackberry Messenger, tapping out conversations with sophomore April Sykes or associate head coach Carlene Mitchell. During games, Prince followed along across the Atlantic, cursing the speed of the online game-tracker and checking Twitter for updates.
She tracked a team that never recovered from her absence. The Scarlet Knights crashed from the NCAA Tournament in the first round. "There's no way you can ever replace Epiphanny," senior Brittany Ray said.
Prince has yet to close the book on Rutgers. She says she is 12 credits away from a degree. This summer, she hopes to meet with Rutgers officials and enroll in online classes during fall. She avoided school for the first year, she said, worried it would distract from her job.
"I thought it was going to be much harder, with me being away from home," Prince said. "But now that I've done it and I see how much free time and how much time I'm bored, I think it's like the perfect time to try to take classes online and finish up."

Our stretch of truly wonderful July weather came to a close when the sun went down last night, but that's not to say it's all bad news going forward. We're just going to be seeing a few more clouds, a few more showers, and higher humidity. But there will still be plenty of opportunities to head outdoors!
Today a disorganized front will be moving through, but it doesn't have a whole lot of "oomph" (technical weather term). It will produce a smattering of mid and high level clouds, as well as scattered showers and a few rumbles of thunder. No severe weather is expected, although many of us will have to dodge a brief shower. The best chance for rain will be from mid-morning through mid-afternoon, with drier weather moving back in for the evening hours. It should be warm and muggy under the partly sunny skies, with highs reaching up towards 80.
Just patchy cloud cover and a few sprinkles expected tonight, as the upper-air pattern begins to change. The jet stream will be going from zonal to meridional, which tends to slow up the pattern and create more stagnant weather. Friday looks like a break between systems, although it will be warm and muggy. In fact, it should be a good old fashioned mid-July day with some haze in the air and summer sizzle. There's just a slight chance of a late day shower popping up.
A wave of low pressure is going to develop Friday night and ride up into New England, bringing with it a good slug of rainfall. Right now, it appears the rain will move through from late Friday night through around noontime Saturday. By the evening, we should be drying out a bit.
Sunday looks pretty good, with a mix of sun and clouds and seasonable temperatures. Again, there will be a slight chance for afternoon showers and storms. Same story for Monday!

Roosevelt WilliamsA motorcycle collides with a horse and flees.
It happened downstate in Bridgeville Sunday.
Police say Roosevelt Williams of Lincoln was traveling too fast on Chaplains Chapel Road as Michele Rose and her horse "Chance" were crossing the street.
The sound of the motorcycle caused "Chance" to freeze in the roadway and that's when the horse was struck.
The motorcyclist refused medical attention and took off. Police caught him just hours later doing speeds of 100 miles per hour in Georgetown. He faces reckless driving charges.

AMHERST - Basketball teams that focus on gritty defense are sometimes accused of playing "Uglyball,'' by turning every possession into a half-court slugfest.
At the University of Massachusetts these days, it is looking quite beautiful.
"I've had success at the highest levels, as a player and as a coach,'' said Derek Kellogg, whose vision of success starts with making the game as uncomfortable for the opponent as possible.
"This is what it takes to win.''
The Minutemen are winning games, and their commitment to rebounding and defense is winning converts. The crowds at the Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament were small, but those on hand were frequently on their feet, applauding a team that does not have the pedigree or glamour of John Calipari's teams, but is displaying the same feisty style.
"When you recruit a bunch of high school scorers, it takes time for guys to buy in,'' senior guard Gary Correia said.
"But we all talk about defending. This is the first time in awhile we've had a common goal.''
UMass played American International College Wednesday night. A win over the Division II program would have meant the Minutemen's first 5-0 start since 1995-96, when they won their first 26 and went to the Final Four.
UMass won this year's opener with hot second half shooting against Rider. They are still hitting only 32.8 percent of their 3-pointers this year.
"That's what we're trying to get away from, the need to hit a bunch of 3's to win,'' Kellogg said.
They are instead relying on a defense allowing 59.2 points per game. Opponents are shooting a paltry 36.5 percent, and 30.3 percent on 3-pointers.
The Minutemen had a 40-9 run against Rider and a 44-13 spurt against Texas Christian. They led New Mexico State by 21 at halftime.
Each surge were ignited by an aggressive defense that caused 69 turnovers in four games. The UMass offense made only 50.
As a UMass guard and later a Memphis assistant coach, Kellogg learned under Calipari, who once told hot-shooting guard Carmelo Travieso to start playing defense or forget about playing.
Travieso and his teammates got the message. This year's Minutemen, most of which played on last year's team that gave up 75 points a game and went 12-20, are getting it, too.
"I'm coaching tougher this year. I am happy our guys are playing the game the way it's supposed to be played,'' Kellogg said.
He's had help.
"We had one senior last year, Ricky Harris, and he did a good job,'' sophomore guard Javorn Farrell said.
"But now we have three - Gary (Correia), Anthony Gurley and Big City (Hashim Bailey). Three guys to listen to.''
UMass practices have been designed to challenge the players. Their early success has validated the method.
"Guys don't moan and groan at defensive drills.We beat each other up so much, it's good to go out and beat other teams up,'' Farrell said.
The rebounding is improving. UMass was a plus-9 in Monday's 67-48 win over TCU.
Beyond numbers, though, the early games represent the attitude Kellogg envisioned when he returned to his alma mater in 2008.
"I want these guys to think, 'What's our identity?' '' he said.
"I want us to make life miserable for the other team. We're a good halfcourt defensive team, but we're not even near where I want us to be.''
Plausible denial: With shutdown defense, UMass basketball is rediscovering how to win

Portland police are investigating a Thursday afternoon stabbing that has left one person dead and another critically injured.
Police responded to report of a stabbing in the 9700 block of Northeast 96th Avenue shortly after 4 p.m. The stabbing victim, a man, ran from the scene to the Econo Lodge across the street seeking help. The victim was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. He remains in critical condition.
Police then returned to the home where the stabbing reportedly took place, said Sgt. Pete Simpson of the Portland Police Bureau. The suspect went in and out of the house repeatedly, but when the SERT team arrived, the suspect surrendered and was arrested.
Officers entered the home and found another victim who was pronounced dead at the scene.
"It's unclear whether it's a male or female at this point and (it's) unclear when it happened," Simpson said.
Portland police said it is believed that both incidents occurred at the home, but that the relationship between the victims and the suspect is not clear.
"It does appear that at some level they knew each other," he said.

What says spring like lamb?
Jim Romanoff, writing for The Associated Press, delivers this recipe for Grilled Lamb Chops With Mint Chimichurri. It comes from Lea Koenig's "The Hadassah Everyday Cookbook" (Universe Publishing, 2011).
"Lamb — at least spring lamb — can be a healthy choice with a tender texture and mild flavor," Romanoff writes. "It's all a matter of selecting the right cut."
Lamb rib or loin chops, he says, may be more expensive than shoulder chops, but they are also lower in fat.
In this recipe, he pairs the chops with "a fresh, gorgeously green chimichurri sauce made from fresh herbs and healthy olive oil."
These can be grilled outdoors (if the weather turns nice), or on an indoor grill. Lamb chops are also good broiled.
Grilling, Romanoff says, "allows any excess fat to render out of the meat and drip into the fire, rather than ending up in the finished dish."
Chocolate Flan Cake: This recipe for a Chocolate Flan Cake — a South Florida favorite — comes to us via Linda Cicero, of McClatchy Newspapers, who got it from Ingrid Hoffmann, host of "Simply Delicioso" on the Cooking Channel.
"For the flan, feel free to substitute your own caramel if you're adept at making it," Cicero writes. "You really do have to bake this dessert for an hour and a half — and possibly longer. The cake rises to the top of the pan so that when you invert it, the flan is on top."
Reader responses: Regular Recipe Swap contributor Gino Raymond, of Warners, has sent in a few recipes that sound ideal for early spring, when there's still a chill in the air but there's a promise of warmer weather ahead.
One is an English Sage and Cheddar Soup. "There's something incredibly humble about simple soup recipes," Raymond writes. "It's absolutely one of my favorites. This recipe is really flexible, and I found that the more types of onions you use, the better the soup turns out."
Raymond also contributes a recipe for Belgian Chicken. "The old Belgian saying is that everyone eats well in Belgium. That's an understatement. This chicken dish lives up to that saying ... this will definitely please everyone at your table."
For his contributions, Raymond will receive a complimentary bottle of the new Tabasco Brand Buffalo Style hot sauce.
Reader requests: From reader Miki Moreira, of Solvay: "I would appreciate a recipe for an excellent Sweet Potato Pie which is quite spicy."
Grilled Lamb Chops With Mint Chimichurri
From ''The Hadassah Everyday Cookbook"
by Lea Koenig
For the sauce:
¼ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon kosher salt
Ground black pepper, to taste
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
For the chops:
12 lamb rib chops (about 1½ pounds total)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste
In a food processor, combine the parsley, vinegar, garlic, cilantro, mint, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Pulse a few times to chop. With the processor running, add the oil in a stream. Process until the sauce is smooth. Transfer sauce to a bowl and let sit for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors develop. (You can make the sauce ahead, refrigerating it overnight and bringing it to room temperature before serving.)
Meanwhile, prepare the lamb chops. Light a charcoal fire or gas grill. Rub oil, salt and pepper onto the lamb chops, then grill to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Alternatively, cook the lamb chops indoors in a grill pan over medium heat. Serve the chops alongside the chimichurri sauce. Serves 4.
Gino's English Sage and Cheddar Soup
From Gino Raymond, of Warners
2 tablespoons butter
Olive oil
Handful fresh sage, chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 medium red onions, chopped
1 shallot, chopped
1 leek, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
4 cups chicken stock
Crusty bread
Grated cheddar cheese
Worcestershire sauce
Put a few tablespoons of oil and the butter in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add the garlic and sage stir them around a bit for a few seconds, then add the onions, shallots and leeks.
Season with salt and pepper, covering the pan most, not all, of the way. Cook the onions slowly for about 40 minutes; don't rush this step — the onions will be incredibly sweet.
Stir occasionally, so nothing sticks.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Add the stock, bring it to a boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for 15 minutes.
Ladle the soup into ovenproof crocks and push some crusty bread into the crocks, cover with cheese then drizzle some Worcestershire sauce over each crock.
Place the crocks on a baking sheet in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and golden brown, then serve.
Gino's Belgian Chicken
From Gino Raymond, of Warners
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 chicken breasts
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon paprika
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
½ pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoons flour
1 cup white wine
1 tomato, chopped
6 ounces tomato paste
½ teaspoon thyme
2 bay leaves
Handful of fresh parsley, chopped
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven, then saute the chicken until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and season with salt, pepper and paprika.
Add the onions and mushrooms, then cook over high heat for about 3 minutes, until they are soft, not brown, then add the garlic and flour and cook for another 30 seconds. Add the wine and stir well.
Return the chicken to the pot and add the tomato, tomato paste, thyme and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the Dutch oven and simmer for 30 minutes, then move the lid over a bit, so it's partially uncovered, and simmer for another 20 minutes.
The sauce will reduce some and thicken, so taste and adjust the seasoning.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve.
Chocolate Flan Cake
From Ingrid Hoffmann, host of "Simply Delicioso" on the Cooking Channel
Cooking spray
½ cup caramel-flavor ice cream topping
1 standard-size box devil's food cake mix, batter prepared according to package directions
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
4 eggs, at room temperature
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 12-cup fluted tube (or Bundt) pan with cooking spray. Roll up a piece of foil and place it in the pan's tube to prevent cake from baking over the top.
Pour caramel topping into prepared pan. Pour prepared cake batter evenly over caramel and set pan aside.
Process cream cheese, eggs, both milks and vanilla in blender until smooth. Pour slowly over cake batter. Coat a piece of foil with cooking spray, place it over the pan, coated side down, and press edges to seal.
Place cake pan in large roasting pan. Add hot water to roasting pan to a depth of 2 inches. Bake 2 hours or until toothpick in center still has a few moist crumbs.
Allow cake to cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Remove foil, place a serving platter on top of the pan and invert. Cool 1 hour at room temperature. Chill 4 hours or overnight. Makes 16 servings.

I grabbed her ass with both hands and spread her cheeks apart and began to kiss her softly. Slowly I worked my way to her hole. The first time my tongue touched it she moaned then lifted up her ass so I would have better access to it. I proceeded to suck her ass for what seemed like an hour. Her pussy was sopping wet and she was begging me to suck her ass while playing with her clit. She climaxed hard that night.
From She
The porn industry is making millions off anal sex because it was finally something new to bring to the screen, and as an added bonus, it's something that had a bit of a taboo attached to it. The sex toy industry enjoyed a huge jump in bucks as butt plugs suddenly became a hot item. So the sex industry is making a bundle on anal sex. Got to love that.
From Anonymous
When it was first brought up as "something to try", I told him, "Sure, I'll let you fuck me in the ass if you let me fuck you in the ass first." He was very adamant that he was not interested in having his ass penetrated. So I asked him, "So why do you think I would be?" He told me that it just seemed more "natural" for women. ( I guess his line of thinking was that women are already used to being plugged.) My response, "More natural for women?! I already have a hole made for fucking!"
Nevertheless, I was still willing to try. Who knows? I might enjoy it, though I suspected that probably wouldn't be the case as indeed it wasn't.

Today's informational lesson is concerning computer basics. Lots of people know a little about computers, but even more people know less than the "lots." I am somewhere below the two groups, therefore, I am just the person to go over computers.
There are basically two types of computers: those that do what you want them to do, and those that don't. The latter, no matter how hard you kick or hit or throw it, will not cooperate. Somewhere, deep in the bowels of your uncooperative little malicious machine, a computer nerd put some piece of "code" that makes it not work. Code, by the way, is how computers work, or not. It comes from the Latin word "kode," which means "to piss you off."
When you take your computer out of the box for the first time, you'll see the "monitor," which looks like a TV but doesn't get the same channels, the "box," which makes some sick sounding noises and emits unbearable amounts of heat onto your legs, and the "keyboard," which is a convenient place to store coffee and muffin parts. DO NOT remove any of the parts BEFORE reading the manual that is located just below the parts that are not to be removed. This will provide years of entertainment for you and by the time you figure out how to do this, your computer is obsolete and you'll have to buy a new one to start the whole process over again.
If you figure out how to get the stuff out of the box, next you'll want to hook everything up. This is very simple. Just start plugging stuff in wherever it will fit, put the power cord into a socket, make sure the spark plugs don't have any "gunk" on them, and press the "power" button on your computer. The "code" will kick in at this point. If you have a "monitor" with a camera on it, this is when the computer will look at you, decide if you're worthy of its' services, and either continue turning on or make a vomiting-type noise and smoke to a stop.
I should probably go over "operating systems" at this point. These are what doctors use and you must have a doctorate in order to use them. There are two types, just as there are two types of computers; these are "easy" and "hard." "Easy" would be the type of operating system where there are little icons (small, unrecognizable pictures) that you click on to get your computer to lock up. "Hard" would be the type where you enter a simple command like "/dev/grp/auxport;; tty00 >*:^)compoot," hit "enter," and get your computer to lock up. The choice is yours.
If you purchased a "Mac" computer, you will be transported into a foreign land where everything you come in contact with has an "i" in front of it. Do not be scared. The "i" stands for "idiot," which means you are capable of using it. If you purchased a "PC" computer, before you know it, you'll be stringing together cuss words that you never imagined could be put together. "PC," by the way, is derived from the Italian words "pieco chitto."
Let's pretend, for a moment, that your computer actually turns on. Welcome to the wide world of computing! Now you can do important, mature, business-like things like shop online, check the weather, see what this "Facebook" thing is all about, and have your bank account hacked into rendering you penniless! Good luck, new computer user!

My own laziness almost destroyed my TH-11 early Saturday morning (0100 local). I had just cranked the 52-foot crank-up tower down to get the beam out of the way so that I could fly the 160m 1/2-wave-balloon-vertical. The tower's main lift cable snapped soon after I returned to the shack to get some tools. Although the tower can nest to 21 feet, the top of my chimney is at 30 feet. The sound of the antenna hitting the chimney and roof, driven by the combined weight of antenna and two tower sections (>500 lb) was sickening to say the least. It sounded like a small airplane had crashed into the house. The antenna hit on the reflector end, and it appeared that the boom (reflector end), 20m and 17m reflectors, 20m and 15m driven elements, mast, and thrust bearing were toast. The carbon steel mast (2" dia, 1/8" wall) had been bent at about 15 degrees at the thrust bearing. After sunrise, and after the night's snowfall had melted, I went up on the roof to inspect the damage. Amazingly, only a few shingles were damaged. The long driven element in the log cell had been bent by the impact force, and the two element halves were curved symmetrically in different directions. The long element (20m reflector) was fine, and the only damage to the 17m reflector was a bend at the boom-to-mast bracket (this was the element that hit the chimney). On Sunday, I titled the tower down and took the antenna apart. Amazingly, there was no damage to the boom, and only minimal damage to the 20m driven and 17m reflector. The mast was history, but everything else is just fine. The sad thing is, I have had a new lift cable sitting around for 2 years. When the tower was down last summer (to install the TH-11), I was in a hurry and didn't replace the cable. As the guy at Hy-Gain said, "When I ship you a new cable, it's for a good reason!!" See you all in the CQWW 160/SSB 73 Mike N6MZ

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Beecher's boys basketball team cleared the first of three major hurdles in its non-conference schedule Saturday, Dec. 22, at the I-96 Holiday Hoops Classic in Grand Rapids.
The Bucs (5-0) extended their win streak to 33 games, but this time did so against a well-respected opponent in Grand Rapids Ottawa Hills. The Bengals, traditionally one of the best teams from West Michigan, were no match for Beecher in a 65-49 loss at Creston High School.
The game was the nightcap of a five-game showcase featuring some of the best teams from around the state. Beecher sent a message that it can compete with anybody.
"It's just a good feeling to come down here and get a win," Beecher coach Mike Williams said. "This was a tough game and they didn't give it to us by any means, but it just kind of proves that we still can compete with the best from anywhere.
"I wanted my kids to get on this side of the state, because there is some great basketball played here and we needed to be exposed to it."
Beecher is the defending Class C state champion, but that also comes with the label of playing against a small school schedule. Beecher's conference opponents in the Genesee Area Conference Red Division are far inferior on the court, which has resulted in an average margin of victory of 33 points in three league games this year.
Yet, Williams has not been afraid to schedule up and he's done so this season. The Bucs opened the year with a 71-52 win over a strong Flint Northern team and have non-conference games against state powers Detroit Pershing and Inkster left on the schedule.
"We kind of have taken the Class C thing and we don't talk about it. We're a basketball team," Williams said. "We feel we can compete with anybody in the state and that's what we prepare for. We're not talking about the state championship from last year, we're trying to get another one this year. The goal is to get better and prepare our team for March and games like this help in doing that."
Beecher was tested early against Ottawa Hills and was behind, 15-12, after the first quarter. It was the first game in which Beecher was trailing after any period. The Bucs responded with a 25-9 run in the second quarter to take a 37-24 halftime lead and cruised from there.
"I looked at the score at the end of the first quarter and that's not like us to allow that many points," Williams said. "(The Bengals) were athletic and could get up and down, so we wanted to make them play in the half court, slow down and have to go through our defense in order to get buckets. It was tough early."
The Bucs will be on a big stage once again when they play in the late game of the Freedom Classic against Detroit Pershing at 8:30 p.m. Jan. 19 at Warren Fitzgerald High School. Pershing is a Class A powerhouse and most recently won a state title in 2009.
"That's going to be a great environment for our kids to play in, because I think Detroit Pershing is one of the best teams in the state," Williams said. "But we've got to wait until Jan. 19 to play that game so there's still work to do. We can't just focus on them."
The Bucs have five games on the schedule prior to their showdown with the Doughboys, but Williams isn't worried about his team looking ahead.
"I've got a good group of kids and when you have a leader like Monte Morris, he keeps the kids focused," Williams said. "There's a lot of senior leadership on this team, we've got seven seniors on this team and they make it happen for us."
Beecher returns to the court Friday for a non-conference game at Flint Powers Catholic.
