Question about the various desktops
Poofe 'n Evandril
December 3rd, 2003, 09:57 PM
Which desktop so far has hit 100% first? And how long did it take? I'm wondering if the Dragon Desktop will beat Toast's desktop ;)
December 3rd, 2003, 10:00 PM
I kinda hate to say this, but I think is dragon contest has drawn a lot of attention away from the wallpaper at hand.
December 3rd, 2003, 10:30 PM
I don't think the dragon competition is taking attention away from the wallpaper.
In fact, it seems the wallpaper is getting donations very quickly.
December 3rd, 2003, 10:32 PM
that may be true, perhaps your right, and now that I think about the current community, I would agree with you.
December 3rd, 2003, 11:40 PM
MCW, I hate to do this to you again, but your grasp of your impact on this community is oddly distorted.
You do realize that there are only 400 accounts registered on these boards, but more that 22 thousand people that read GU each day during the week, right?
And the donations are very much similar this month to last month and the month before that. Remember the person on the old boards asking if the donations were setting a speed record because they hit 50% in 3 or 4 days?
It's been 3 days. Trust me when I tell you this is par for the course.

We've always hit 100%, usually quite a bit above it.
December 4th, 2003, 10:47 AM
I'd love to be Woody. Money pooring in while I draw and do fun things.

Aye, I know every one has...Just wondering which one made it the fastest ;) Haven't paid attention as much to the others, to be honest <g>
And while I'd love to have Woody's talent, I'd not be as nice as he is...He's a slave driver, it seems <g>
December 4th, 2003, 02:12 PM
Well... I certainly wouldn't say "pouring" in. Because it simply is not. I could make money doing other things, that's for certain.
Poofe I'll do some spreadsheet parsing when I have some extra time.
December 4th, 2003, 04:01 PM
July was the first month I really asked people for donations, and that was the month I had to ask for help to move. The 100% mark was $800 and it was reached the first day. Donations started on 7/7. The truck hit 501% by the end of the month.
In August the 100% mark was set at $450. Predictably, reaching the goal took a while longer as SO many people had donated SO much the month before. The 50% mark was hit on the 18th; the 100% mark was hit on the 19th. The final tally was 235%.
Because the 100% mark was hit relatively easy in August, I upped the ante to make it more of a challenge. So the 100% mark in September was moved up to $600 and has stayed at $600 since. The 50% mark was hit on the 4th; 100% was hit on the 13th. The final tally was 172%.
October was Toast month. The guage hit 50% on the 2nd and 100% on the 13th. The final tally was 190%.
Last month the guage hit 50% on the 5th and 100% on the 19th. The final tally was 135%.
This month the guage hit 50% on the 3rd.
As you can see the guage usually hits 50% in the first few days and 100% around the middle of the month. But, technically the move month was the fastest. Toast is tied with the Orcs for 2nd.

Woody works hard to keep us laughing and deserves every penny that is donated. I'm glad that there are so many folks out there that enjoy his comics. I didnt realize that there were so many people that are on this board and read GU WOW :shock: .
I wish I could draw like ya Woody, but I wouldn't even come close. :)
Yer doing great!! :wink:
December 7th, 2003, 10:20 PM
pppst, Kaya, you might want to work on spelling Woody's name correctly if you're going to compliment him.
December 8th, 2003, 06:59 AM
I actualy went out and got myself a Paypal account to donate to this site. Sheesh that was a bad idea. Now I keep wanting to buy things on line too....

Pssst Takara .... he has a sense of humor and anyways its a typo, no one is perfect...get over it sheesh :roll:
December 8th, 2003, 06:02 PM
HE REALLY doesn't like it when his name is misspelled, even if it is a typo.
December 8th, 2003, 07:31 PM
He does not have a sense of humor about people misspelling or mistyping his name. Trust me.
Re-read your post before you press send.
It's not that hard.
December 8th, 2003, 07:51 PM
i would donate but my credit card is plaqued with the amazing ability to only be able to spend 20$ on it, but ill donate before the wallpaprer is sent out, i like dragons *points to the uber avatar*, i hope its not only a dollar though
December 8th, 2003, 08:05 PM
I'm going to open up a pay pal account around 97% or something, I really would like to get a good desktop, and a dragon one looks nice. And then imagine getting the original art, that would be neat!

"Sir — I am anxious to send some live frogs by train or by post. Can you tell me how I can best pack them for a twelve hours' journey?" So wrote F. L. M. to the editor of Country Life magazine on July 9, 1898; the editor replied by remarking that "it is distinctly against the Post Office regulations to send living things by postal machinery". All this and many more delights are to be found in Letters to the Editor, just out from Simon & Schuster, £12.99.

text: Today, at least in my viewing region, there was a mini marathon of sorts of Tales of the Gun episodes on the History Channel. I loved the show when it was a regular item and so I tuned in. It was better than I remembered it being and I really loved how, at the end of the episode of Infamous Weapons(like those used to kill presidents) the writer included a little tidbit to make it perfectly clear that the dastardly use of the guns in question was in no way the fault of the guns or their designers, rather the blame rested on those who used them. So I was wondering, how many others remeber Tales of the Gun and how many really miss the show?

Orange women hoops team moves up to No. 22
By Chris Wagner / The Post-Standard
December 15, 2009, 4:16PM
The undefeated Syracuse women's basketball team has moved up to 22nd in the latest USA Today/ESPN coaches poll, released Tuesday afternoon.
The Orange women, 9-0 after Sunday's 56-42 victory over reigning Ivy League champion Dartmouth, first moved into the rankings last week at No. 25. The team also has received 28 points in this week's Associated Press poll, placing it 27th.
Both polls rank defending national champion Connecticut as the unanimous No. 1 team, followed by Stanford, Tennessee and Notre Dame.
In addition to UConn and Notre Dame, other Big East teams ranked in the coaches poll are Pittsburgh at No. 19 and West Virginia at No. 23. Pittsburgh checks in at No. 21 in the AP poll.
The Orange women have started with nine straight victories for only the second time in program history. It previously occurred in the 1974-75 season, when SU finished 10-0.
Syracuse's next game is at 2 p.m. Tuesday against Delaware State in the Carrier Dome.

I have exercise-induced asthma. I started supplementing with Vit D a few years ago. I did *not* see a decrease in my asthma at all. For me, cutting all grains eliminated my seasonal allergies, which in turn reduced my asthma. So possibly once your system is less inflamed, the Vit D can do its thing.
If I don't live my dream, who will?
I supplement with vitamin D, but I still have asthma. The thing that most improved my symptoms was cutting out gluten after my celiac diagnosis. Asthma can have multiple causes, and I am sure vitamin supplementation does help in some cases, but it does not seem to make much difference in mine. My asthma is primarily allergy and stress induced, so avoiding triggers helps quite a bit.
If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive. --Audre Lorde
Owly's Journal
I have everything-induced asthma. I haven't had any asthma meds since going mostly primal and supplementing with fish oil. I don't do vitamin D supps - yet. Losing weight is a great benefit, but giving up the meds is the best pb result for me, by far.
I'll just go ahead and admit I'm addicted to oxygen.

My asthma is getting worse as I age; every cold I get seems to flip into a respiratory problem. I guess I'll try the vitamin D.
I CURED my asthma with exercise several years ago.
Had bronchial asthma from about age 20 to early-40s. (I had what the doc called "lesions" that you could see on x-rays.) I'd wheeze anytime I exerted myself, and I dreaded catching a cold, because that meant I'd be continuously wheezing and living on inhalers for a couple of months.
Finally decided I just had to bite the bullet and power through it with jump-rope to increase my lung capacity. I'd jump a minute, then I'd wheeze and cough for 10 minutes, followed by a hit of inhaler (epinephrine, if I remember correctly) then I'd repeat. For about a month I was waking up and coughing all night, but I kept persisting with the jump-roping, and gradually the wheezing subsided and then I had to wean myself off the inhalers. One day I suddenly realized that it had been months since I'd had an attack, and I haven't had one since.
An interesting thread.
I have been dealing with breathing issues, wheezing, coughing, etc, for about 5 years now. Ever since I started doing cardio at age 30... I was told it was Asthma or Exercise Induced Asthma, tried all sorts of things. Vitamin D, diet changes, food sensitivity test... Bee Pollen seemed to help. I also read "Mind, Body and Sport" and do a lot of nose-breathing during my workouts and just try to keep my mouth shut as much as possible. Helped tremendously, but trying to do spin class with my mouth shut was VERY hard. I even did a 1/2 trail marathon with my mouth shut.....
Then about a year ago I had some chest pains and I figured out it was from raw cacao nibs...
Just recently since our health insurance deductible was met, I scheduled a visit with a G.I. Doctor, because I googled "asthma GERD" and similar searches, and was convinced that my breathing issues, or "asthma" was really from acid reflux. I was right... The Doctor listened to what I had to say, and scheduled an upper GI Series where you swallow Barium as they watch through the x-ray, and then I had an endoscopy. I suffer from Reflux-Laryngitis, where acid-reflux effects my esophagus and larynx.
Just a few days on some meds, I feel better, I am breathing better... But I do not plan on being on these forever. Once these samples run out I want to try apple-cider-vinegar (2 tablespoons mixed into apple juice or water), and see if that helps.... A lot of people are having great luck with the ACV drink. I also notice that when I get my wheezing, if I eat an apple (or even some apple), the wheezing dissapears.
So, what i'm trying to say is get your stomach checked! Your asthma could be caused from acid-reflux....

With a new record deal and an upcoming tour of 'Grease,' the Alabama Idol's career is in high gear
But he's had to contain himself this year, hearing and reading that his 800,000-unit-selling self-titled CD was a one-shot deal. That he wouldn't sign another record deal. That the 2006 "American Idol" was through.
"It's about driven me crazy to hold my tongue," Hicks says. "I've wanted to talk about this for three months, but I've been patient and trying to be smart about choosing my battles."
The battle, it seems, is over.
Hicks, who turned 32 on Tuesday, announced on his birthday that he had signed a deal to release his new CD in February 2009. It'll be on his own Modern Whomp Records label through Artist to Market (A2M), which gives the Birmingham native control over his recording destiny.
"I was offered a plethora of record deals, some traditional record deals and some non-traditional record deals," Hicks says. "It's been very hard not to just hop on the first one that was offered, but during that time when there was a lot more speculation that I might never sign one again, it couldn't have been further from the truth."
He calls the A2M deal "very cutting edge."
"In today's marketplace, having the control as the artist is key," Hicks says. "I'm in control of where I spend my marketing dollars, who I want to record with, and in control of the companies I hire out. It allows me a really focused release. Basically, I am my own record label."
What that means for the upcoming CD is that the bulk of it will be written or co-written by Hicks, who cut his musical teeth in bars in and around Birmingham.
"I've always been a singer-songwriter, and that's going to be able to surface a lot more than it did on the last record," he says. "On the last one, things had to move at such a quick pace that the actual art of songwriting couldn't really be seen on the last record."
Hicks is in pre-production of the CD now, working with producer Simon Climie (Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, Faith Hill) in the studio.
"I don't have a title for it, yet," Hicks says. "I'm kind of waiting for it to hit me."
Announcement of the new record deal comes just after Hicks' stint in the Broadway production of "Grease" comes to an end, and just before he hits the road as that show's Teen Angel for the national tour beginning Dec. 1.
The national tour of "Grease" will offer a unique hybrid for Hicks, he says.
"We're going to cross-promote this record with the 'Grease' tour," he says. "I'll be allowed to perform my single in the show on tour."
Most importantly, it offers fans a chance to experience Hicks live, which he says is crucial to his success.
"There's such a live aspect to me," he says. "You put me on the radio, and you can't see me, you can't feel me, you can't touch me, so it's easy to count me out in that regard. On the road, that's where you really make your mark and have your longevity."
So don't count Hicks out just yet. He's only getting started, he says, and he doesn't pay attention to the naysayers.
"I hear those things, but I'm not into the talk, I'm into the walk," he says.

Numerous cellphones were stolen early this morning from a Best Buy in Jersey City after one or more people pried open the rear door of the store with a hammer and broke the cabinets containing them, according to a police report.
At around 5:18 a.m., officers were dispatched to the Best Buy on 18th Street on a report of a burglary and found that the rear door had been pried open, with empty cell phone boxes littering the ground nearby, officers said.
One of the boxes was propping the door open, the report stated.
Officers entered the store and discovered no one inside but came across broken cabinets, scattered cellphone boxes and a Estwing 4-pound Blacksmith hammer, officers said.
The phones that were stolen were later determined to include models such as Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Galaxy S5, iPhone 4 and iPhone 5, but it was not clear how many were missing, the report stated.
Anyone with information about this incident should call the Jersey City Police Department's confidential tip line at 201-547-JAIL.

Moore Catholic capitalized on two recovered fumbles to score 21 points in the first quarter en route to a lopsided 46-0 victory over visiting Morristown Beard Saturday afternoon in Graniteville.
The Mavericks (3-0) recovered the opening kickoff on the MB 27-yard line, and after quarterback Russell Brown hit Chris Konecny with a 22-yard aerial, Brown went over from the 1-yard line for the Mavs first score.
Four minutes later, Nick Imburgia scored on a 19-yard run, and after the visitors fumbled another kickoff, Jomarta Broady rambled 24 yards to make it a 21-0 contest after just one period.
"Morristown wasn't as strong as we thought they were," said Moore assistant coach Rob Imburgia. "Once we took the early lead, we just turned the ball over to our running backs. We've got a few good ones, and they made the most of each carry. They were impressive today."
The Mavericks racked up 398 yards on the ground against the overmatched New Jersey squad, including 105 yards and a touchdown on just two carries by Justin Ortiz in the second quarter when Moore took a 34-0 lead into halftime.
"We're playing Cedar Creek next week," Imburgia said of next week's match-up at home. "The only thing we know about them is that they pounded our JV last year, so it will probably be our toughest test so far this season."

General Motors is bankrupt.
Thank heavens.
Not "thank heavens" the company that was once the world's mightiest is broke. It's painful to see GM stand before creditors like the rich guy in Monopoly, his pockets turned out, his shoulders shrugging, on his way to the poor house. It's like watching a parent go broke.
I meant "thank heavens" it's finally happened. Waiting for bad things to happen is often as bad as the bad things themselves.
Watching GM lurch and spin toward bankruptcy has been like watching a tornado weave toward our house. Now that it's hit, at least the stress of anticipation is gone. At least now we can get on with picking ourselves up, dusting ourselves off and building anew.
That's small comfort, I know, but you do with what you have.
Some other random, meager thoughts on this blackest of weeks:
•17,000 people, minimum, will lose jobs because of this. That's more than the number who live in my hometown. The scope of that is sickening.
• That's 17,000 more people who can't afford a new car, by the way. My question: With so many people out of work nationally, who's going to buy all the vehicles GM needs to sell in order to recover? And what miracle products will suddenly grab market share back from other automakers?
• Gov. Granholm says Michigan has now hit bottom. Has it? Not to be Eeyor, but bankruptcy may well be just the beginning of GM's woes. And if you don't agree, when's the last time you heard someone go broke then say, "Yeeha! Happy days are here again!"?
•Do you get the sense this is not nearly as big a deal for the rest of the country? Many people seem to have written off Detroit years ago.
• On my blog, I asked if GM would be in trouble today if it had had the foresight to develop good small vehicles to go with its popular big ones. MikeinGB had an interesting response: "Yes, they would. GM is bankrupt is because the U.S. car market shrank from around 16-17 million units to about 10 million this year due to the economic meltdown. It doesn't really matter what the mileage of the car/truck is if people don't have the money to buy one. GM's pockets weren't deep enough to sustain them during this decline in sales. A primary reason is because of the legacy/healthcare costs that foreign automakers don't have to deal with (or at least on a fraction of GM's scale). I suppose we could actually get serious about universal healthcare so we could remove such an expensive burden from U.S. manufacturers, but then that would just be crazy liberal talk."
• Everything is politicized these days, even this. The conservatives say the government is now running GM. That's stupid. Do stockholders "run" other companies? Second, even if the Obama administration did run GM's day to day business, could it do worse?
•Keep your chin up, people. We'll get through this. Same as we did all the rest. Same as we have for 30 years now.

Everybody loves pizza.
Thin crust, thick crust, deep dish -- or fold-it-up-and-walk-away New York style. Pepperoni, veggie, white or whatever. Maybe even a newfangled arugula and kale with porcini mushrooms and pork belly.
This version of our occasional listings of the best places to eat in Syracuse and Central New York is all about the pie.
We took into account food quality, creativity -- and, in this case, a strong sense of family-friendliness and fun. That's what pizza's all about, right?
As with many types of restaurants, pizza places come and go, including some of the great ones. I came to town too late for Shuffles, the legendary prototype for "Syracuse-style" pizza. But I do fondly recall the great Arturo's Pizzeria in Eastwood.
Here's our list of some of the current "don't miss" pizza joints. As always, don't hesitate to jump in to the comments below and tell about the ones we missed -- or just to talk pizza.
The other lists? Our first was where to go for a celebration followed by where to go for outdoor dining and where to go for a burger, where to find a good beer selection and where to go for barbecue. Send your ideas for "best" Syracuse area restaurants and categories to Don Cazentre at firstname.lastname@example.com
The list:
• Avicolli's Pizzeria Restaurant, 7839 Oswego Road, Liverpool; (315) 622-5100. See the menu.
This is an ultra family-friendly Italian place whose top-selling pie is a New York style cheese pizza -- a testament to the quality of its core ingredients -- dough, sauce and cheese. And check out the thick-cut, Sicilian-style "Grandma's" pizza. In 2013, Pizza Today named Avicolli's one of the Top 100 independent pizza operations in the country.
• Canale's Italian Cuisine, 156 W. Utica St. Oswego; 315-343-3540. See the menu.
A rare place that's as noted for its white (garlic) pizza as the red sauce variety (and Canale's bottles its traditional and marinara red sauces). Another cool thing: They have a toppings list, but will also put anything they have in their kitchen on your pie. Just ask.
• Gianni's Bronx Style Pizza,1428 Burnet Ave, Syracuse; (315) 425-7770. See the menu.
From Pelham Parkway to the Grand Concourse, you can take a tour of New York City's northernmost borough through the pizza list at Gianni's (pronounce it Johnny's). Serving both thin and thick crust pies, Gianni's toppings range from Meat Lover's to Margherita, with Hawaiian, Eggplant Parmesan and even a Bacon Cheeseburger variety thrown in. Next stop: Yankee Stadium.
• Johnny's Pizza*, 120 Julian Plaza, Syracuse; (315) 446-8728. See the menu.
Why the asterisk? Johnny's, a legendary Syracuse University-area joint for 42 years, was sold in April to the operators of the local mini-chain Original Italian Pizza. While long-time fans feared some major changes, Johnny's has so far retained its distinctive taste in the humble surroundings behind the Nottingham Plaza Tops store. Johnny's has an intensely loyal following and even spun off a franchise in Georgia.
• Ironwood Pizza, 145 East Seneca St., Manlius; 682-0042. See the menu.
Of all the places on this list, Ironwood is the least like the others: All thin-crust, wood-fired pizzas, not sold by the slice. From Fire Roasted Chicken to Vegetopia (and yes, an Arugula), the toppings are flavorful and creative. With good wine and beer lists, it's a place to settle in an enjoy your pie, not grab a slice and go.
• Mario & Salvo's Pizzeria, 4326 E. Genesee St., DeWitt; 315-446-8479.
Hand-stretched dough, cooked on a stone not a rack -- the pizzas at Mario & Salvo's show an attention to detail. One of the owners (Mario Di Marco or Salvo Barbarino) is always in the store. Be sure to try the Rustica, a white pizza with slices of tomato, garlic, Greek olives, mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. It'll make you rethink white pizza.
• Paladino's Pizza , 231 Northern Lights Plaza, Mattydale; 315-455-6477.
With roots in the Bronx, Paladino's offers both thin-crust New York style and thicker Sicilian-style pizzas, noted for generous amounts of cheese (a house blend). Small and family-owned since 1980, Paladino's will never be mistaken for a big chain place. It gets a lot of love from folks looking for authentic New York pizza.
• Pavone's Pizza & Eatery, 5781 Bridge St. East Syracuse. (315-251-2500); 349 S. Warren St. Syracuse; 500 Butternut St., Syracuse; and 122 E. Seneca St., Manlius. See the menu.
Another local pizza operation that traces its roots to New York City, Pavone's once had locations around the state but has now consolidated to four local locations. (Many folks remember the first local Pavone's, in Fairmount Fair mall). Today, Pavone's makes some of the most classic New York-style pizzas in Central New York. From Cheese to Chicken Bacon Ranch -- they show pizza doesn't have to be fancy to be good.
• Pepi's Pizza, 228 Genesee St., Oneida; 315-363-7580. See the menu.
In the same family since 1960, Pepi's has been a "destination" pizza joint in Oneida for years. The motto -- "make a better pizza with better stuff" -- is exemplified by the fresh tomato sauce and shredded cheese on expertly hand-tossed dough. And it's very kid-friendly -- check out the adjacent Gelato's Joe's ice cream.
• Twin Trees (original), 1100 Avery Ave., Syracuse; Twin Trees, Too, 1029 Milton Ave, Syracuse; Twin Trees III, 310 N. Main St., North Syracuse; Twin Trees 57, 7608 Oswego Road, Liverpool; Twin Trees West, 111 Syracuse St., Baldwinsville; Twin Trees, 102 W. Manlius St, East Syracuse.
The original Twin Trees was founded in 1957 by Don and Joe Rescignano and Albert "Shuffles" Palermo. Shuffles moved on to establish his own legacy, and today various members of the Rescignano/Ross family operate the several locations. The pizzas epitomize the "Syracuse" style: thin crust, cut into strips instead of slices. Twin Trees is the place to go when you want a pizza that you won't find anywhere else.
• Varsity Pizza, 802 S. Crouse Ave., Syracuse; 315-446-8479. See the menu.
Before a game, after a game, during a game or when there's no game at all, the Varsity is the go-to pizza place near Syracuse University campus (especially now that the nearby Cosmo's is gone). Grab a slice at the front counter or order a whole pie and watch it being made in the front window, while pondering the many vintage SU sports photos. The Varsity Special (sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers, onions) is classic, but so is the Spinach, Tomato Feta. This is old school pizza in every sense of the term.

GRAND RAPIDS — The only thing missing was nail polish.
Like the vampires they love, thousands of teenage girls across West Michigan — and their mothers — descended upon theaters around midnight Thursday to catch the first showings of the highly anticipated movie "Twilight."
The scene at Celebration Cinemas North had all the trappings of a giant sleepover: pajama pants, bubbly friends, popcorn and a movie with a protagonist to swoon over.
"It's just the escapism," 16-year-old Katherine Curley, of Grand Rapids, said, explaining the appeal of the movie based on Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight," the first book of her four-installment series.
"... and wishing that you had your own Edward," she added.
"It's what every girl wants," piped in her friend, 16-year-old Joanna Chen, of Grand Rapids.
Accompanying the two were sisters Andrea and Emily Byl.
"We've been planning this for a long time," Emily said about attending the movie.
So were a lot of others.
Vice president of marketing for Celebration Cinemas Steve VanWagoner said their circuit sold out 21 of 29 "midnight" shows.
A total of 5,700 seats were sold to — not surprisingly — mostly females ages 15 to 40.
"About 97 to 98 percent were female," VanWagoner said.
"It's a big movie. The only thing that will keep it from being shockingly big is that it has a limited demographic," he said. "You won't see large numbers of families or particularly young or older men."
At least a couple dudes at Celebration Cinemas North didn't walk out of the theater rolling their eyes.
"I'm almost upset with myself at how much I liked it," said 20-year-old William Reed, of Grand Rapids.
He attended the movie with his friend Amanda Fredricks for a film viewing class at Grand Rapids Community College.
"I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. I have to go buy the books now," he said.
As for Jessica Titus' dad, who was equipped with his daughter's iPod Nano and headphones watching "8 Crazy Nights" before the start of "Twilight," he ended up enjoying himself.
"It was a lot better than what I was thinking," Joe Titus, 41, of Cedar Springs, said. "It was very entertaining."

text: A fife is a small flute. This long wooden fife belonged to William M. Ball, a private in the Union Army. Field music played a key role on both sides of the war. Musicians played fifes, drums, and bugles. The armies had many uses for music. They played during ceremonies, to entertain the troops, to make announcements, and on the battlefield. Music was used during battle to tell troops when to march, charge, halt, or retreat.


text: i have decided to purchase a .22lr revolver as my first hand gun. i will be using this mainly for plinking tin cans and such. when looking at the ruger website i found their sa with a 5.5 " barrel and fixed sights to have the classic styling i prefer. the problem is that i saw this gun in our local gun shop, and when sighting down the gun i found that the rear sights just blurred into the rest of the gun. unfortunatly, in our small local shop, this was their only revolver. is their a different gun, and/or sights that will not compomise the classic smooth styling of the fixed sights, but will show up better? can i use dots of floorescent paint , or something, to enhance the fixed sights? i think that i would be willing to sacrifice styles for better sights, as i hope to get more fun out of shooting the gun than looking at it. also, does cowboy style shooting require any specific style of sight? thanks for any help, and experienced opinions, ron

Coupeville town officials jumped into action today to evaluate and hopefully slow a section of eroding bluff along Front Street.
The bank, located between North Kinney and North Gould Streets, began sloughing off onto the beach earlier this month and the sidewalk in the area began to sag toward the beach.
The process sped up rapidly this week, however.
"It went down even further with the heavy rain last night," said Mary Young, a Front Street resident of 14 years.
So much of the bank has now fallen off onto the beach that the section of gravel sidewalk is noticeably lower than the surrounding area. Also, large and deep cracks are visible along the path.
Town officials have been aware of the situation for more than a week. Cones and a barricade were erected but additional steps were taken today to combat the developing emergency.
Road crews placed sandbags along the outside edge of the path in an attempt to limit further saturation from stormwater off the road.
Also, a geotechincal engineering firm has been contracted to come out and evaluate the problem in the next day or two, Conard said.
The consultant will hopefully shed light on how bad the problem is and why it's happening; it could be a combination of rainfall and high tides, Conard said.
Whatever the case, one lane of traffic may have to be closed or the whole section of street to all but homeowners until the area can be stabilized.
There is no emergency pot of money to deal with such situations so Conard said she will have to find money from within the existing budget to pay for any work.
But, she said she won't know where it will come from until more is learned.
"We need to know what the magnitude of the repair is first," she said.

By MARK B. HERMAN
An editorial in the New York Daily News stated that the failure to move the primary election for state offices to June is "a classic case of Albany selfishness."
In order to comply with federal law requiring military voters to receive their absentee ballots earlier, the primary date for Congress was moved to June.
In March, the Assembly had voted to move the primary for State Senate and Assembly to June so as to save taxpayer money. Both Michael Cusick and Matthew Titone were co-sponsors of the legislation.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said that holding separate primaries would be costly and depress voting. It is estimated that holding a separate primary in September costs taxpayers $50 million.
In an example of Albany dysfunction, the Republican leader in the State Senate, Dean Skelos, with the support of Andrew Lanza, refused to even consider moving the primary to June.
This is the same Dean Skelos who former Mayor Koch said was an "enemy of reform."
The next time you hear Sen. Lanza say he is up in Albany to protect taxpayers, ask him about the $50 million he wasted this year on a separate September primary.

Suspected war criminal arrested in Sweden
TT/AFP/The Local · 29 Dec 2010, 13:26
Published: 29 Dec 2010 10:34 GMT+01:00
Updated: 29 Dec 2010 13:26 GMT+01:00
- Swede charged with Balkan war crimes (05 Oct 10)
- Man arrested over Kosovo war crimes (07 Apr 10)
- Sweden arrests Bosnian war crimes suspect (12 Jan 10)
According to a statement issued Wednesday from the Jämtland county police, the man is in his forties and is a citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The man, for whom an international arrest warrant had been issued via Interpol, is "wanted for war crimes," Bertil Olofsson, who heads the international section of the Swedish criminal police, told AFP.
He was arrested in an "undramatic" fashion in or around his home in Jämtland, a western region halfway up Sweden, Olofsson said.
"We have indications that he has been in Sweden since 2009 but that is not confirmed for sure," he added.
According to a local prosecutor, an international warrant had been issued for the man, who is suspected of having committed war crimes, including genocide, in Bosnia.
"When it comes to suspicions like genocide, the case is handed over to the office for international prosecution. I'm just on my way to hand over the case," prosecutor Eva-Lena Rimér told the local Östersunds-Posten (ÖP) newspaper.
According to the police, the arrest took place within the last 24 hours and more information will be forthcoming later in the day on Wednesday.
"I've never been a part of anything like this. I don't really know how we're supposed to handle this situation," said Maria Olofsson, head of the Jämtland criminal police, told the newspaper.
A Bosnian-born Swede in his forties was arrested in northern Sweden in January 2010 on suspicions of committing war crimes against Serbs in 1992 during the Bosnian war.
His trial opened in Stockholm in October and is to last until the end of March.
In April this year, a Serbian man in his 30s was arrested in Sweden in relation to suspicions of war crimes that occured in Kosovo in 1999.

BAY CITY, MI — A visibly agitated woman testified in a Bay County courtroom that her ex-boyfriend held her down and raped her, then nakedly chased her when she fled.
A preliminary examination in the case of Delane D. Bell, 26, was held Tuesday, March 5, before Bay County District Judge Mark E. Janer. A 25-year-oldn woman identifying herself as Bell's ex-girlfriend testified that she and a female friend encountered Bell and a second male while out drinking the night of Dec. 1. The foursome went to Bell's mother's Bangor Township house and all four entered Bell's bedroom, the woman testified.
At some point, the woman's friend, Brandy Sutter, and Bell's friend, Corey J. Hardy, left the bedroom, the woman said. She said Bell was intoxicated and had been coming onto her, and that when the other two left her alone with Bell in the bedroom, she grew uncomfortable.
"I wasn't worried about it," she said. "I wasn't scared."
"Did you have the impression something was going to happen?" defense attorney J. Martin Foldie asked the woman.
"Not like that," she replied.
She said at some point, Bell jumped onto her and raped her.
"I don't even know how he got his clothes off," she said. "I do know he didn't have pants on when he got on top of me."
The woman said that although her pants were pulled down, she was able to kick Bell off of her and that she fled outside, with a naked Bell pursuing her. Eventually, the woman, Sutter and Hardy drove away.
Sutter later told police that after exiting the house but before driving away, she went back inside to retrieve her purse. When she reentered the building, Bell threw her against a wall and tried blocking her way out, Sutter told police.
As the woman testified, Foldie presented her with a statement she had written for police in which she said she saw Bell already had a condom on when his pants came off. On the witness stand, the woman said she did not see the condom, but felt it.
She said she didn't know how Bell managed to get all of his clothes off.
"I didn't even see him completely naked until I was already outside," she said.
During the hearing, the woman regularly looked toward Janer, averting her eyes from a jumpsuit-clad, shackled Bell, who looked in the general direction of the witness stand. She frequently used tissues to wipe tears from her eyes.
Bell told police on Dec. 4 that he made advances toward his ex, but denied raping her.
Bell was on probation at the time of the incident on charges of ethnic intimidation and attempted first-degree home invasion. Bay County Circuit Judge Joseph K. Sheeran placed Bell on probation in September.
The hearing ended with Janer binding Bell over to Circuit Court for trial on charges of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with force causing injury, second-degree criminal sexual conduct, assault with intent to commit sexual penetration and misdemeanor assault and battery.

Request made to change town meeting date
Main Street resident Edward Bracebridge asked selectmen several weeks ago to consider reversing the dates of town meeting and the town election.
Bracebridge attended the Aug. 19 selectman's meeting to see if that idea had been discussed.
"The way it stands now, a newly elected person has to justify what another person approved for a budget," said Bracebridge. "The main reason I suggested this is because lately we've been having a lot of override requests,'' he added. "This way you could put an override question on the election ballot and save money."
Based on previous override ballots, Bracebridge said it cost approximately $45 a vote to hold a special election for an override. This year the town had a town meeting vote subject to an override, he said. If the town meeting preceded the election, the town could have put that override question on the election ballot rather than hold a special election, he said.
In Sterling, the annual town meeting precedes the annual town election, said Bracebridge. "If it's good for the Town of Sterling, it should be good for the Town of Rutland," he added.
Selectman Joe Becker noted that election ballots had to be printed 60 days prior to an election and that if a question was placed on the ballot and failed at town meeting it would cause confusion. "If people don't go to town meeting they won't even know if a question passes," he added.
"I think it's ludicrous to spend $45 on each vote for an override," said Bracebridge.
"I totally agree with that, but I'm not sure this would even be necessary if there were no override issue," said selectman Michael Pantos.
"I'd like to commend Eddie [Bracebridge] for taking the ball and running with it," said Addison Redfield. Of the 351 communities in Massachusetts, more than half of those with a town meeting form of government hold their town meeting first, then the election follows, Redfield said.
"This is a good move. There is no down side to this and it should have been done before. The election should be after the town meeting."
"I have a few mixed feelings," said Becker. He said he didn't want the town meeting to become a forum for a candidate running for selectman, he added. The town should also consider having its town meeting later, possibly in June, he added. The state budget has yet to be set at the time of some town meetings, he said.
It's up to selectmen to come up with the change, said Redfield, unless there is a citizens petition to put it on the warrant, he added.
"I think it should be looked at more closely," said Pantos. "We could bring it to the next annual town meeting for consideration with the appropriate language.''
The board took Bracebridge's request under consideration.

Speaking of turducken and a favorite oyster recipe
By JUDY WALKER
When W. in Lake Terrace was looking up savory pies in "British and Irish Cooking, " published in 1972 by 'Round the World Books, she came across something that looked oh-so-familiar.
"Everything was, and is, put into pies, and even until well into the 19th century ingredients were as imaginative as they were plentiful, " the book says. "An old recipe from Staffordshire explains that in order to make a good pie, the cook should first take a cooked veal tongue, stuff it into a chicken, stuff the chicken into a large duck, and the duck into a turkey and finally stuff the turkey into a goose."
All were carefully deboned along the way. The stuffed goose was put into a pie and any room left over inside the pie shell was filled with ground meat and small birds.
W. was thinking, as most of us will, of the turducken. With tongue and goose added, this pie proto-version is a couple of magnitudes more odd. Nothing is new under the sun.
Especially this next recipe. E.W. of New Orleans requested an oyster patties recipe for the holidays. This delicacy is so rarely found anymore that many people living here have never tasted it.
Traditional oyster patties
Makes 60 hors d'oeuvres,
or 6 entree portions
6 tablespoons bacon drippings
5 tablespoons green onions and tops, finely chopped
5 tablespoons celery, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pints oysters, drained and quartered, reserving oyster liquid
� teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon salt
� teaspoon cayenne pepper
� teaspoon paprika
Black pepper to taste
2 � teaspoons fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons flour
2 cups heavy cream
5 tablespoons parsley, minced
5 dozen miniature patty shells (or 6 large ones)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a heavy non-aluminum skillet, heat the bacon grease and saut� the green onions, celery and garlic until the onions are clear and soft. Add oysters, thyme, salt, cayenne, black pepper, paprika and lemon juice to the pan and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in flour and when bubbly, add cream and oyster liquid. Cook ingredients until thickened. Stir in parsley.
Fill patty shells with oysters and bake at 425 degrees for 12 minutes. Serve immediately.
. . . . . . .
MAKE PANINI WITH LEFTOVERS: Do you have a panini machine? If not, you could make this sandwich as you would a grilled cheese, pressing down on it to squish the bread. This is a suggestion from celebrity chef Michael Chiarello for how to use Thanksgiving dinner leftovers: Make turkey panini with cranberry sauce, mozzarella and provolone.
. . . . . . .
HERB CHEESECAKE FOUND: "Over 15 years ago I cut out a wonderful recipe for an herb cheesecake from the TP Food section. I used it many times to great reviews. It was lost in the hurricane along with many of my cherished recipes, " C.K. of Slidell writes. "I have found others on the Internet that approximate it but would love to have the original."
Here it is, C.K.
Mini herb cheesecakes
Makes 12 servings
12 pumpernickel crackers
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons flour
1 egg
� cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1/8 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
Place crackers, flat side down, on bottom of each of 12 foil or paper-lined baking cups. Combine cream cheese and flour, mixing at medium speed on electric mixer until well blended. Add egg and sour cream; mix well. Stir in remaining ingredients. Pour mixture into baking cups, filling each cup almost full. Bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes. Cool before removing from pan. Chill. Garnish with red and green pepper strips, if desired.
. . . . . . .
WHERE'S THE BEER? After a story ran here last week about mincemeat pie, M.G. of New Orleans e-mailed to say, "Here is a little rhyme my aunt used to say for us: Not exactly an American Christmas feast!"
Christmas comes but once a year
When it comes it brings good cheer
Beef, plum pudding, mince pies and beer.
. . . . . . .
SEEKING SPICE CAKE: S.R. writes about the search for an old recipe for a three-layer spice cake that his or her mother used to make in the 1960s in square cake pans.
"We all seem to remember an old Betty Crocker cookbook, " S.R. writes. "I've seen many recipes, but they usually include carrots, pumpkin or some other fruit, which this cake didn't. . . . It probably had an almond-flavored icing. Any help?"
. . . . . . .
I PROMISE SOMEONE ASKED FOR THIS: This is another recipe requested before the holidays. Since it's supposed to age four weeks, better get baking.
The recipe came originally from Bob Warren. It can be made in two small loaf pans instead of a 10-inch tube pan, and can also be halved.
You will need brown paper and a few large pieces of cheesecloth.
White fruitcake
Makes one 10-inch cake
1 pound whole almonds, blanched quickly, peeled and coarsely chopped
� pound golden raisins
2 1-pound containers fruitcake mix (dried fruits mix)
3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 � cups soft butter or margarine
1 � cups sugar
� teaspoon salt
4 eggs
� cup milk
� cup dry sherry (preferred) or brandy, for cake, plus sherry for cheesecloth
� teaspoon almond extract
Cut out an 18-inch circle of brown paper. Set a 10-inch tube pan upright in center of circle; draw around base of pan and tube. With drawn lines facing out, fold circle into eighths. Snip off tip. Unfold circle; cut along folds just to second circle. Grease both pan and one side of paper well; fit paper, greased side up, into pan.
In very large bowl, combine almonds, raisins, mixed fruit, and � cup unsifted flour; mix well. Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
In large bowl of electric mixer, beat butter on medium speed until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until light, about 5 minutes. Add salt, then eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition; beat until light and fluffy. Mix milk with � cup sherry and almond extract. At low speed, alternately blend into sugar-egg mixture 2 � cups sifted flour (in fourths) and milk-sherry mixture (in thirds); begin and end with flour. Beat only until blended.

Deployment Childcare is Hard for All
Home schooling means that you, as parents, assume responsibility for directing your child's education and use your home as the base for that education instead of a traditional public or independent school. Home schooling may appeal to some military families who are concerned that frequent moves and new school systems might disrupt their children's education. If you are thinking about educating your child at home or have already made the decision, the information here will help guide you to support and resources.
Your installation is a good first stop for information and home schooling support. You may even find a home-school support group on your installation.
Many communities have educational resources that can help with home schooling. These resources may offer classes or support groups and provide other services to parents and home-schooled children. Some of the most helpful include the following:
Often, groups offer students some of the same activities they would have in traditional schools. They may have annual conferences giving children a chance to put on plays, compile yearbooks, take part in spelling bees and make friends. They may also have websites or email lists to help parents and children keep in touch. Activities like these can give students a strong sense of being part of a group even when they do not attend a traditional school.
Find programs and services at your local installation.
Service members, family members, surviving family members, service providers and leaders rely on Military OneSource for policy, procedures, timely articles, cutting-edge social media tools and support. All in one place, empowering our military community.

This story was updated to include more details about the discovery and reaction from residents.
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The NYPD is probing the identity of a man found dead, with a gunshot wound to his head, in a marsh area in Travis not far from where police were hunting a suspect in a bizarre break-in Monday morning, according to law enforcement sources.
Sources tell the Advance that investigators believe the man is the same suspect who squatted in a foreclosed home on Alberta Avenue, then broke through an attic wall to burglarize an adjoining home early Monday morning. Though the investigation is preliminary, sources believe the man may have shot himself in the head.
A gun was found on the man's lap, a source said.
The body was found Tuesday morning in a marsh about 600 yards away from the intersection of Victory Boulevard and Travis Avenue, sources said.
According to a source with knowledge of the investigation, a Parks Department worker made the gruesome discovery while searching the marsh area for an invasive species of plant.
On Monday, at about 8:21 a.m., a squatter living in an abandoned home at 129 Alberta Ave. broke a hole in the attic wall to enter adjoining 131 Alberta Ave., possibly believing the house was empty when a female occupant left to walk a dog, according to police sources and neighbors.
The house, it turned out, was not empty -- a 29-year-old woman living at 131 Alberta was taking a shower, and when she stepped out of the bathroom, she came face to face with the man, sources said. He threatened to kill her if she didn't go back into the bathroom and close the door, and he fled, sources said.
That sparked a massive police dragnet and helicopter search, focusing on nearby marshland. Though police had heard a report of a single gunshot fired, it was initially believed that the sound came from a nearby shooting range, said one NYPD source familiar with the investigation.
The identity of the man was not immediately available Tuesday.
The victim's mother, who spoke on condition her name not be used, said that despite assurances from police, she's still worried that the man may have had accomplices.
Police found a cell phone and knives in the vacant home, the mother said.
Her daughter was distraught, especially upon learning about the gun, she said. "My daughter cry, cry," she said.
The mother said she locked the door Monday morning when she went out to walk the dog, and her daughter was in the shower, washing her face when the man came in through the attic.
"She saw him in my bedroom," she recalled. "He says, lock (yourself) inside, don't call anybody."
The mother said she found her jewelry box, which had costume jewelry, empty. The family wasn't sure if he had ever been in their house before Monday.News that the intruder might have been carrying a gun left the already-rattled residents of Alberta stunned.
"That's what's scary -- he had a gun," said one neighbor.
Added neighbor Krystina Press, "Everybody in the neighborhood was nervous last night. Hopefully it turns out to be him, so we all have peace of mind -- especially her," referring to the 29-year-old victim.
"I'm glad police stuck around to watch the neighborhood."

St. Augustine running back Leonard Fournette and Barbe wide receiver Trey Quinn have been nominated for the U.S. Army Player of the Year award, presented by the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
Past winners of the award include former East St. John quarterback Ryan Perrilloux in 2005 and Missouri wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham, the player whose national receiving yards record Quinn broke last Friday, in 2012.
Quinn has 97 receptions for 1,797 yards and 21 touchdowns and also has 13 rushes for 168 yards and three touchdowns. He's added 336 yards in the return game including a 92-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Overall, he's averaging 209.2 all-purpose yards from scrimmage per game.
His Buccaneers will travel to play Hahnville in the regional round of the Class 5A playoffs on Friday night. Quinn enters the game with 6,396 receiving yards for his career, 40 above Green-Beckham's former mark. He has also set the state record for career receptions and sits in fourth place on the national list.
Fournette is considered by many to be the No. 1 overall prospect in the country and is one of five players on the list that aren't participating in the Army All-American Bowl.
Fournette had 172 carries for 1,585 yards and 14 touchdowns in nine games this season while adding 38 receptions for 685 yards and four touchdowns. Fournette also had an 80-yard interception return for a touchdown against Rummel, 659 total return yards, and was 21-of-30 passing for 322 yards and two touchdowns.
The finalists for the award will be announced on November 26 and the Player of the Year will be named on January 3 at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Awards Show.

Now we see why Nick Saban and Mario Cristobal kept recruiting offensive linemen.
It may have seemed a bit odd when Alabama added a seventh 2014 offensive line commitment last month when St. Paul's Espicopal's Josh Casher joined the class. But the chances were better than average that not all seven would stay in the class, and on Monday night those odds proved accurate.
Citing a desire to stay closer to home, four-star guard Viane Talamaivao of Corona (Calif.) Centennial flipped his commitment from Alabama to USC.
It's been thought the 6-foot-3, 300-pound Talamaivao could be a potential flip for a while now and it's likely that the Alabama coaching staff saw this coming. He was part of a large contingent of visitors in Tuscaloosa on Nov. 5 for the LSU game, but he grew up following USC and his cousin, Austin Maloata, is a Trojan commit.
While Lane Kiffin essentially gave up on Talamaivao after his commitment to Alabama, Ed Orgeron has upped the ante in pursuing him, pulling the Kevin Sumlin trick of landing at the lineman's school in a helicopter. A visit to watch USC's win over Stanford last weekend apparently sealed the decision.
"It was like the old SC," Talamaivao told Rivals.com. "The Coliseum hasn't been like that in a while. The atmosphere is way different than what it has been."
Talamaivao is obviously taking a big risk here that Orgeron will be retained, but the bigger issue may be that Kiffin is gone. It's also likely that his decision bodes well for USC's chances of also landing Bellflower (Calif.) John Bosco's Damien Mama. The four-star guard, who named Alabama among his four finalists this week along with USC, UCLA and BYU, is a close friend of Talamaivao.
The effect on Alabama's class, meanwhile, should be minimal thanks to the Crimson Tide's continued pursuit of offensive line prospects. Casher is a nasty, persistent blocker and, while projected as a center, is one of five commitments in the 2014 class who could play guard.
Ross Piershbacher and Montel McBride are projected as guards, while center J.C. Hassenauer and projected right tackle Dominick Jackson could also switch to the position.
It's possible Talamaivao won't be the only de-commit out of this group. Jackson and Pierschbacher are also long-distance prospects and both flipped commitments from schools closer to home in order to join Alabama's class. It's likely that those schools have not given up on them.
But Saban and Cristobal are still recruiting linemen. Ohio State guard commit Marcelys Jones is scheduled to visit this weekend and three-star tackle Brian Wallace of St. Louis-Christian Brothers is expected to be in Tuscaloosa early next month. Homewood guard Jordan Sims, who has long favored the Tide, remains uncommitted.
There is only one offensive line commitment in this class who can't be replaced - five-star West Monroe (La.) tackle Cameron Robinson. Dominant left tackles don't just fall out of the sky and with Cyrus Kouandjio likely to leave early for the NFL, Robinson is the one lineman Saban and Cristobal cannot afford to lose.

Newcastle United forward Sammy Ameobi has teamed up with the National Literary Trust to promote the benefits of reading to Tyneside schoolchildren.
The self-confessed bookworm joined 15 pupils from Gateshead's Brighton Avenue Primary School at St. James' Park on Wednesday afternoon to talk about the importance of a good education as well as his favourite books, which include Roald Dahl's The BFG and J.R.R Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.
The 22-year old, who was born in Newcastle and attended the city's Heaton Manor School, is the Magpies' nominated Reading Star for 2014.
He recently joined professional players from all 19 other Barclays Premier League clubs to launch the 11th year of the Premier League Reading Stars campaign, which will reach 30,000 children nationally over ten weeks.
The campaign is funded by the Arts Council England and the Premier League and is being delivered in the region by the National Literacy Trust, with Wednesday's visit made possible by the Newcastle United Foundation.
Ameobi said: "I've always been a huge fan of reading. It has a really positive impact on my life and helps me to relax away from football so it's great to be involved with Premier League Reading Stars and to be teaching local school kids about how reading can really help them.
"Anything that uses football to inspire young people and to help them in future can only be of benefit to the club and the community so I'm very happy to support the programme and the Newcastle United Foundation."
Kate Bradley, head of the Newcastle United Foundation, added: "Reading Stars demonstrates the enormous capacity football has to inspire young people so it fits extremely well with the wide range of educational projects the Foundation delivers across the North-East.
"Sammy spoke passionately about his favourite books and his enjoyment of reading to the children, so as a professional sportsman and a role model, he is an ideal advocate. We are delighted to have his support."
Speaking during the campaign's launch in March, Premier League chief executive Richard Bevan, said: "We are very proud of Premier League Reading Stars; our literacy programme which has inspired tens of thousands of young people to raise their reading levels.
"The fact that the schools we work with have low achievement in literacy and high numbers of children from less well-off homes means that we are helping those who need it most, providing a positive impact on their lives.
"Now we're hoping that this year's line-up of Reading Stars will be able to reach an even wider audience."
Research into the scheme, which launched in 2003, has shown:
// Three out of four pupils made six months to a year's progress in reading in just ten weeks
// The number of pupils who read every day had doubled by the end of the programme
// Nearly nine out of ten pupils said they now read more because they know Premier League footballers read
// Fifty per cent of pupils joined their public library

"Ghostbuster" Mary Ann returned to describe her work with earthbound spirits and consultations for the hit TV series, Ghost Whisperer. Earthbound spirits have free will and do realize that they're dead, yet they may become attached to a person, place or object, she detailed.
For those who buy antiques and flea market collectibles she recommended keeping some sea salt handy in order to sprinkle a small amount on the object. Earthbound spirits have a particular aversion to it, she noted.While such spirits can't kill the living they have been able to start fires, said Mary Ann, who explained that ghosts' electrical energy can interact with preexisting faulty wires or fuse boxes to trigger incidents.
Mary Ann described how at the age of four, accompanied by her Grandmother, she began attending funerals in order to relay messages from the newly dead. Her work as a consultant for Ghost Whisperer has brought her to the Los Angeles area where she has "cleared" a number of places such as the Walt Disney studio. She even said she saw the ghost of Barbara Stanwyck, lingering on the former set of The Big Valley, and helped her to crossover. Mary Ann also described paying a visit to Jennifer Love Hewitt's home where two ghosts resided, one of whom was a former high school classmate of Hewitt's who was stalking her after he died in an accident.

Residents standing outside about an hour afterward were either mum or claimed nothing had happened at all.
While police only found a fake gun at the scene near the intersection of North 5th and Mulberry streets, the five men were charged with drug offenses, for warrants, or a combination of the two.
A man called police at 9:40 p.m. Wednesday from the same intersection to say that someone started shooting at him as he drove down Mulberry Street. The responding officers were unable to find any victims, witnesses or a shooter.
At 9:12 a.m. Thursday, a resident called police from the same area to report that they heard a gunshot, and saw a man dressed in a dark sweatshirt and red sweatpants standing on the sidewalk and pointing a pistol into the air.
Witnesses reported the man ran down Mulberry Street, turned left on 6th Street, backtracked onto Mulberry Street, then turned around when he saw a police car and again ran left down 6th Street.
Police did not find him.
Then, at 10:48 a.m. Friday, a resident called police from the area of North 5th Street to report they heard a gunshot, said Sgt. Jody Farabella.
"We went out there for that call, and got from anonymous sources and witnesses that an altercation took place at 301 North 5th Street," he said.
Farabella said the building is an apartment house, and police received consent from the owner to search it.
"When inside the house, we found numerous amounts of marijuana in plain view. We located a toy handgun, and from there we made our arrests," he said.
Dante Holt, 19, of D Street, was charged for three Millville warrants totaling $3,083.
Michael Artis, 23, of West Race Street, was charged with hindering apprehension, and for Millville, Vineland and child support warrants totaling just over $4,250.
Jordan McFarlane, 20, who lives at 301 North 5th Street, was charged with possession of less than 50 grams of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of paraphernalia and for a $750 warrant from Millville.
Abraham McFarlane, 21, of the same address, was charged for a $500 warrant from Vineland.
Justin Daughtry, 19, of a different apartment at the same address, was charged with possession of less than 50 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
"The investigation is still going on. We definitely know an altercation took place at 301 North 5th Street. We only had one call saying shots fired, and sometimes people will call saying they heard shots fired to get us out there. We don't know at this point," said Farabella.
Farabella said that only MacFarlane and Daughtry were charged with possession of marijuana because they claimed it was theirs, thus absorbing the charges for the entire group.
Around 12 p.m., a woman sat on her porch by the intersection and said she did not want to talk about the alleged gunshot.
"I don't know anything about it. I don't want them to come get me," she said while smoking a cigarette on her porch. She did not mention who "they" were.
Two men, one wearing a green shirt and sitting on stairs at the second house on the 300 block of Mulberry Street, and the other standing on the sidewalk in a sherpa hat and winter jacket, said there was no shooting.
"Nah, that's some misinformation," said the man in the hat with ear flaps.
"Shooting? Here? I live right here and I didn't hear nothing."
He also said he did not know what had happened Thursday morning.
The man in the green shirt sitting on the stairs said he was in school, so he did not know of any shooting.
When asked why the police would make up a report about a shooting, the man with the ear flaps repeated his initial assertion.
"They're misinformed, man."

Here are vintage photos of the "plump ideal" "exotic" dancers from the 1890s : Exotic Dancers, 1890s | Retronaut you will notice that most are still corseted around the waist!
How about my legs? I've got some pretty big ones.
What I'd like is a slimmer waist and smaller arms. But I don't believe for a second I'm going to get that.
I'm not that into weight loss anymore. I'm into eating strange animal bits. I'd rather eat delicious things that make other people squirm than have skinny legs. The only other way I'm gonna make people squirm I suppose is to crush their heads with my massive thighs.
Female, 5'3", 50, Max squat: 202.5lbs. Max deadlift: 225 x 3.
honestly, i'm happy enough with my body, but my husband isn't. he doesn't really say anything usually, but when we talk about body types, fat, etc. he has expressed that he wouldn't mind me losing a little fat off my thighs and stomach. I told him that a lower BF% means my breasts would shrink too, and his response was "I'm not worried, you have plenty to spare." i'm not a big girl by any definition, but he's used to a different standard. both of his siblings have worked paid modeling jobs; it's what his sister does for a living. I don't have to change my body for anyone, not even for him, but i can so why not? today we were joking around about pole dancing classes (no thanks) and i mentioned that a little bench pressing and weight lifting wouldn't hurt him. anyway, so if i lose the amount of body fat that I prefer, and it's still not his preference, that's fine. he'll just have to take it or leave it. but in the end, at this point in time it is mostly a vanity thing. as long as my focus is eating primarily nutrient-dense foods, and my health doesn't suffer, then what does it matter to anyone else?
my primal journal:
I guess I'll be the shallow one. I'm totally losing weight to look good naked. My priorities are as follows:
1. Look hot
2. Be hard to kill
3. Not be frail when I'm 80
I personally prefer *very* thin men (I'm a female), that fall outside the ideal for most women, I also tend to think lithe looks better than muscular. Just me, doesn't mean I have unrealistic ideas about my own body.
I could go on, it's prett obvious which one looks better
thick legs
I definitely agree the first picture, the girl on the right. However, the one on the right is a bad example as she has cankles. On the other hand, the girl on the left does need some mayo..in both pictures.
Primal since 4/7/2012
Starting weight 140
Current weigh 126
Wow that would serious upset me. I gained a fair bit of weight due to medication and my H has been nothing but supportive about it and tells me every day how pretty I am. I can see he is pleased that I am now losing, but there Is no pressure to do so. I'm not saying thee hasn't been gentle teasing ("there's just more of you to love", type of thing) but no pressure to change how I look.
He wants you to lose on your this. Wow, what are you supposed to do? Cut it off with a knife?

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Police have yet to publicly identify a woman whose body was found Sunday afternoon floating in the waters off the coast of Staten Island.
The woman, who was pronounced dead at the scene, appears to be in her 30s or 40s, police said.
She was found floating by a small stone jetty, face down and fully clothed, around 4:18 p.m. in the waters off of South Beach, near the intersection of Father Capodanno Boulevard and Seaview Avenue.
Police sources said the woman had likely been in the water for about two hours before someone spotted her from the beach's fishing pier and called 911.
The NYPD Harbor Unit wrapped the woman's body in a white tarpaulin and moved it to a larger jetty nearby where authorities huddled to investigate.
The woman's cause of death won't be known until an autopsy is performed.
An MTA spokesman said there had been no reported Verrazano-Narrows Bridge jumpers over the weekend.


text: I believe I'm in the right place. There is a lot of knowledge and experience out there and that's what I'm hoping to draw on. I'm looking at trying to grow a bush partially indoors - during it's dormant period. So to understand what I'm trying to achieve, the indoor temp will be 43F (6C), the bush is 6 ft tall and the canopy is not thick. There are a moderate amount of leafs that will be defoliating but it isn't a thick bushy plant in full growth. Because it's dormant, I don't think it needs really high intensity light for photosynthesis. Further, I want to greatly limit the heat output of the light because I don't want to it to raise the temperature of the room. What I don't need is a light that will take me through the full production cycle of a plant, I don't need a higher heat output, or one that is super intense lighting. For the actual flowering and veg cycle I will let the sun do it's thing. All that said, there seems to be a lot of misinformation about LED lighting out there as multiple sites say different things. I understand that a lot of people say that you need a 3W bulb and if it's only pulling a few W of electricity then it is crap. If it doesn't have a heatsink and fan it runs the risk of overheating and failing. I also see some makers defending their products.. So really I don't know where I stand. More importantly, for my application, would a cheaper less intense LED suffice? Specifically, I've been looking a few and the top of my list is the LGM550 from led-grow-master. It runs 9.6W per bar and has 190 5mm HBLED. It has 33 and 45 degree spreads. Also, he specifically addressed some of the other manufacturers here: http://www.led-grow-master.com/LEDGardenerJan4.html If you guys have other suggestions that I should look at for my application or any thoughts in general, please let me know.

As part of the Australian Government's increasing engagement in Africa, Australia Awards in Africa (AAA) offer study opportunities at post-graduate level to candidates from eligible African countries. The scholarships are offered at Masters level for up to two years as well as short professional development courses of up to three months. There are also limited opportunities for PhD studies in Agriculture-related disciplines.
Why does Australia offer scholarships?
Australia is committed to developing the capacity and leadership skills of Africans so they can effectively contribute to development in their home countries. The scholarships, which are implemented by the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID), are part of Australia's effort to assist African countries realise the Millennium Development Goals. They also help build institutional and people-to-people linkages.
Good luck
