A policewoman burnt in the Middle Park gas explosion graduated just six months ago to her dream job, her family has revealed.
Constable Varli Blake, 32, was one of three police caught in the explosion on Saturday.
Veteran officer Sergeant Tony Scully and First Constable Emma Quick are also in hospital after they were engulfed by the flames in the inner southern Melbourne unit responding to concerned calls about a man who lived there.
The families of the three police late on Monday afternoon paid tribute to their loved ones and to locals who helped amid terrible scenes after the explosion.
Constable Blake's parents said the 32-year-old stationed at South Melbourne graduated from the Victoria Police academy in July.
"It has been Varli's dream for over 10 years to become a police officer and make a difference in the community," said her parents Kathy and Tony in a statement released by Victoria Police.
Mitzi Scully, wife of Sergeant Scully, said the father of daughters aged 21 and 22 had been a police officer for 34 years. and worked with Constable Varli at South Melbourne.
"Tony joined Victoria Police when he was 17 years old. I am so proud of what he has achieved in his 34 years in the job. It is typical of Tony that he should get injured in this way - helping a person when they needed help."
The second injured policewoman, First Constable Emma Quick, 28, joined the force in 2011. and was stationed at St Kilda. Her parents Di and Ron Quick said: "Emma loves working for Victoria Police and has always enjoyed the outdoors lifestyle. Prior to joining, she studied at the Australian Catholic University and spent time working in outdoor education. She always loved taking groups of school kids out on adventures - hiking, rafting, and other outdoors adventures."
The families of all three police agreed to a joint statement:
"We would like to send our thanks to Victoria Police, the hospital staff who have worked so hard to help our loved ones, and those kind and caring people who all helped out at the scene. We are all truly grateful.
"This has been a deeply distressing experience for all of us. We are horrified that this has happened, and whilst we are enormously grateful for the many expressions of support and sympathy, more than anything now we ask that the media give us time to come to terms with this tragedy and refrain from reporting any further personal details."
A teary Andrew Wood spoke on Monday of the moment he realised the occupants of the apartment were surrounded by gas.
''I said we've got to get out of here and within two steps the whole place was in flame, it blew up.''
Mr Wood said after the blast he discovered one of the female officers on the balcony.
''She wasn't in a good way. She was smoking, she was screaming, she was just in incredible pain, asking me how bad her burns were.''
He downplayed his own bravery in the aftermath of the blast, arguing anyone in his line would have done the same.
''This stuff about hero and whatever, any firefighter would have done it, and any firefighter does do it all the time. They have done it in the past and they will keep doing it.''
Wife Tahnee Wood wished a hasty recovery to the three police officers who remained in the Alfred Hospital in a serious but stable condition on Monday night.
''It's going to help us a lot knowing what Andrew's done and what he's put himself through. Hopefully they're going to be well and be okay.''
Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Ken Lay visited the victims and their families on Monday.
''Most of them are still in a degree of shock and disbelief, it's difficult and very, very emotional.''
Victoria Police Association Greg Davies said the blast has sent shockwaves through the force.
''This is the sort of incident that doesn't just potentially ruins careers, it potentially ruins lives.''

This is a story of a teenager who did something so generous — so big-hearted — that it's making plenty of adults swoon.
Allan Guei, 18, was a star basketball player at Compton High School in the Los Angeles area before he graduated last month. He also had a GPA above 3.0, and his good grades made him eligible for an unusual competition: A free-throw contest in the Compton High gymnasium. The top prize: $40,000 in scholarship money.
Guei, whose parents immigrated to the United States from the Ivory Coast, knew how much that financial aid could mean for his family. So he was feeling a fair share of pressure as students and teachers crushed into the gym to watch Guei and seven other randomly selected, academically successful students make foul shots.
Guei won the free-throw contest by one basket and netted the $40,000. But it's what he did next that's truly astonishing.

'The right decision'
In the weeks following the March free-throw competition, Guei learned that he'd scored a full-ride basketball scholarship to California State University-Northridge. NCAA rules allowed Guei to accept the athletic scholarship and also keep most of the $40,000 he had won.
But Guei couldn't stop thinking about the seven talented runners-up from the free-throw contest. They, too, had dreams — and very real needs. So, he asked Principal Jesse Jones to make a surprise announcement at Compton High's graduation ceremony: Guei wanted to donate the $40,000 to the other seven students.
Story: Meet grandma who was stuck in swamp mud for 4 days"I've already been blessed so much and I know we're living with a bad economy, so I know this money can really help my classmates," Guei said in a statement. "It was the right decision."
Guei elaborated on his decision to give the money away in an interview with ESPN: "I was already well taken care of to go to school, to go to university for free. ... I felt like they needed it more than I did."
The beneficiaries of Guei's generosity were ecstatic.
"It was a shock," said Omar Guzman, 17, a runner-up who plans to use the money to attend San Diego State University. "I'm really grateful there are people like that out there. It was generous."
Another of the seven runners-up, Donald Dotson, also plans to start at Cal State Northridge in the fall. Dotson described Guei as "a very deep, intelligent and warm person."
Story: Prosthetic helps golf prodigy drive ball 200 yards — at age 10"He's going to go really far in life," he said in a statement. "Because of what he's done for us, God will bless him. That's what life is all about — stepping forward to help other people."
Lines that divide — and unite
The free-throw competition was the idea of Court Crandall, the Hollywood screenwriter behind the movie "Old School" and a partner at a Southern California advertising firm. Crandall was well aware of Compton's image problems due to gang-related crime. Many of the city's residents also deal with extreme financial pressures; according to Census data, more than 25 percent of the city's families live below the poverty line.
One day Crandall was watching his teenage son play basketball with some bright, ambitious Compton students, and he got to thinking about the lines that divide us. Then inspiration struck: Could a free-throw line bring people together?
More in Good News!
He decided to create the free-throw scholarship competition and make a stereotype-busting documentary film about the lives of Compton students in the process. Compton's senior class had about 80 students with a GPA of 3.0 or higher; the eight students who participated in the competition got selected randomly from that group.
Crandall's advertising firm, Wong, Doody, Crandall, Wiener, raised more than $75,000 for scholarships, making it possible to give $40,000 to the first-place winner and more than $5,000 — enough to cover about a year of college expenses — to each of the seven runners-up.
Now, with Guei's added generosity, each of those seven runners-up has around $11,000 in scholarship money.
"It was the perfect ending," Crandall told TODAY.com. "I was ecstatic about how everything turned out. ... Most kids don't have the sense of composure or leadership that [Allan] does, so after spending time with him and getting to know him, I really wasn't that surprised by what he did."
Crandall plans to submit his full-length documentary film, "Free Throw," to the Sundance Film Festival in September.

Ben Sones over at Quarter to Three got a gimped guitar and tore it apart to try to fix it himself. Apparently, the issue's actually pretty minor: One of the strummer's microswitches has just rotated out of alignment. A quick adjustment to the screw holding it in place and you're ready to roll. The disturbing part is the uncertainty over whether it's a production issue or a design flaw. If it's the former, the DIY fix—which Ben lays out in detail—should hold, leaving you time to pick up Joel's five accessories for optimum rockage. And correcting it at the factory's not a big deal. If it's the latter, you could wind up strumming "acoustically" again. Worse, fixing a design flaw would probably cause delays in production if they have to shift over to pumping out redesigned controllers, and Rock Band's not exactly easy to come by as it is. On the bright side, you shouldn't have to worry about any of the other plastic instruments strung all over your living room. And you can always use your GHII controller in the meantime.

Dean Headley, born January 27, 1970, was a fine swing bowler who shone brightly for England. He had an extra burst of pace to keep batsmen on tenterhooks. However, Headley played for a mere two years for England and back problems ended his career. Bharath Ramaraj looks back at the highlights of his brief career.
Dean Headley, grandson of famous West Indian batsman George Headley and son of elegant left-hander Ron Headley, went onto play for England in 15 Tests. Unfortunately, the promising pacer's Test career was curtailed by back injuries to just two years. He though, in his brief career, showcased his uncanny ability to swing the ball prodigiously by taking 60 wickets in those 15 Tests at an impressive average of 27.85.
More than two decades ago in 1991, here was a swing bowler who left a mighty fine impression on Middlesex's faithfuls by taking a five-for in his first County game itself against Yorkshire. It took him about four more years in the 1995-96 season to galvanise English cricket by taking a truckload of wickets and ending that season with an average of 15.36. One has to remember that all those wickets in 1995-96 did not come on seaming decks of England. Instead it came on flat tracks of Pakistan against their 'A' team. In the First-Class game played at Multan for England A against Pakistan A, he bowled a marathon spell of 26 overs and gave away only 34 runs with 5 wickets next to his name. He and the underrated left-arm spinner Richard Stemp had a field day to take England A to an innings victory. He also had a splendid season with the England A team that toured Australia in 1996-97.
Incidentally by then, he had moved over from Middlesex to Kent, as he thought that he had to earn more to live in an expensive city like London. Carl Hooper, who was playing for Kent helped him to move over to the County.
It was in 1997 that Headley made his Test debut for England against Australia in Manchester at Old Trafford. He swung the ball around the corners, twinned with supreme control to leave Australia in all kinds of problems in the first innings. It was only Steve Waugh's twin hundreds that saved Australia from the blushes, and they eventually won the Test. In the Test match at Trent Bridge, it was yet again Headley who came out as England's best seamer by taking six wickets in the game. As other senior campaigners struggled to stand up and be counted, he bowled a lion-hearted spell and troubled the likes of Mathew Elliott, Mark Taylor, the Waughs and Greg Blewett. It was his ability to leave the left-handers that caught the eye of everyone. Sadly, England lost that Test too.

Headley's moment in the sun arrived when England played Australia Down Under. In a series that Australia dominated, Headley was in prime form and took 19 wickets at just 22.26. It was at MCG that he took his game to dizzying heights. At 130 for 3 in the second innings, chasing a modest total of 175 and that too with Waugh twins motoring along by playing thunderous strokes, it seemed just like a matter of time before they would win another Test.
It was Headley who turned it around by sending Mark Waugh back to the pavilion with the one that jagged away slightly to take his edge. Mark Waugh played with a slightly angled bat which didn't help him. From there on, Headley bowled a truly remarkable spell to take six for 60 and England won a nerve wracking contest.
Headley said to Sky Sports about the Test at MCG: "I think we had to get Damien Fleming out three of four times (in that second innings). That's why DRS is massive these days, particularly if you are someone who hits the wickets and reverse swings the ball. Now, DRS has encouraged umpires to make decisions. Anyway, eventually we got him out, he basically padded up to one swinging back in. McGill had got 50-odd in the first innings, but it was unbelievable. Every time it wasn't on his stumps he'd miss it then every time a ball was straight he'd get something on it. We had allowed the tail to get a few too many first time around, which gave Australia their lead. He just kept getting a thin edge on balls that you thought were through him. But we'd bowled pretty well throughout that series. 'Goughie' (Darren Gough)… I loved playing in Test matches with him, he was an inspiration to play with. They are good memories. It was a good night after we'd won!"
Unfortunately, Headley played just 3 Tests in that series and was troubled by a chronic back problem during that time. Headley said to Sky Sports about the untimely injury, "Basically, when I came back my problems started. I remember being at pre-season and the confidence level in me was massive. I had my strategies and knew what I was doing after taking 19 wickets on that Ashes tour."
"Then I slipped on a mat during outdoor nets, though at the time I didn't think anything of it. I played the very next day against the Kent League in a friendly and I suddenly did not know where the ball was going. It was like someone had flicked a switch overnight. I played the whole of that summer and averaged something like 44, and that wasn't with the bat! I played two Tests in that time and I couldn't have told you if it was going down leg or off side. I knew there was something stopping me from bowling, but I didn't have any pain at the time. I honestly have never had that in my life. I haven't got it now, either. To stand on your run up and think 'I hope this ball goes somewhere near' is just a nightmare."
He went onto to play 2 more Tests for England during their dismal performance against New Zealand in 1999. It was the time when they slipped to last place in the Wisden rankings after losing the series 2-1. Headley's back injuries continued to haunt him and he finally walked into retirement life in 2001.
The Guardian reported Headley as saying, "I sustained a back injury in April 2000 and I feel that, on medical grounds, I have been left with no option but to retire."
"I have enjoyed the years playing cricket for Kent, Middlesex and England, and am naturally very disappointed to have to make this announcement."
The then Kent captain Mathew Fleming on the swing bowler, "On behalf of everyone at Kent I would like to pay tribute to Dean and the enormous contribution he has made to Kent and Kent cricket since his debut for the county in 1993.
"Statistics alone will never show his full value, both in the dressing room and on the pitch. As a fearsome opening bowler, no mean batsman and a brilliant athlete, Dean will be irreplaceable at Kent. We all wish him well in the future in whatever he does."
On his day, Dean Headley could get the ball to swing and swerve in the air at considerable pace and be a handful, especially against left-handers. However, back injuries became the bane of his career. A case of what might have been indeed!

How to find Gun shows
Hi all,
I'm travelling over to the US later this year (i'm form Australia) and i'm keen to have a look at a gun show or two. Thing is I'm planning my itinerary in advance so i kind of need to find out now when they are on. Once i find a list or something of ones that are in cities when i'll be there then I'll probably be back here asking which ones are best to check out. Thanks in advance for your help, Mick
Never argue with morons, they will lower you down to their level and beat you with experience. |

Just don't try to buy anything. You might not make your flight home.
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday. |

text: Those March fixtures have been described as a 'death run,' the period in which Arsenal's good season will come to a permanent end. But it should also not be assumed that the opposing teams will be happy to play Arsenal, with the thought that it's a simple three points to be had. If Arsenal can find a way to come through those games with a decent haul of points, they will have a chance to make up ground in their final few games of the season.

Looking at the leaked information, IT expert Marcus Murray said he quickly found passwords and email addresses to several well-known Swedes, including Reinfeldt and Löfven. Swedish Television said 166 people had the same Adobe password as the Prime Minister.
Lars Grundström, information security manager at Sweden's Parliament, told Swedish Television he believes there little risk to the government since there are "other types of mechanisms in the IT system" to protect it. He added that owners of the affected accounts were told to change their passwords immediately.
Marcus Murray said the passwords are often so simple that "a middle school student could crack" them.
"There are even people from our own company, so there is a cross-section of Sweden here," he said.
Although the leak only concerns users of Adobe's services, Marcus Murray said those using the same password for other programs, such as their email, social media or banking accounts, should change their password immediately.
"Otherwise, it is likely that they'll have their identity stolen," he told Swedish Television.
Adobe first disclosed the breach on Oct. 3, saying attackers took credit card information and other data from nearly 3 million customers accounts. The company has since revised the total number of hacked accounts.

Tenchi Masaki is a stereotypical teenage loser who manages to bumble his way into various situations. At the beginning of the series, he accidentally releases an alien space pirate name Ryoko Hakubi from the seal she was under at the shrine where Tenchi lives.
At first, Ryoko attacks Tenchi to try to get revenge for being under a seal for 700 years. As the episodes progress, other female characters are introduced, and many of them become attracted to Tenchi. Ayeka Masaki Jurai and Sasami Masaki Jurai are princesses from the Jurai Royal Family; Ayeka has been searching for Yosho, her half-brother who had left Jurai to pursue the space pirate Ryoko. Ayeka detects Ryoko on Earth, and her tree-ship crash lands on Earth. Ayeka and Sasami end up staying with Tenchi and Ryoko at the shrine.
Mihoshi Kuramitsu is a Detective of the Galaxy Police, but she's also ditzy and clumsy. She crash lands on Earth while trying to track down a villain, and she also ends up with Tenchi and the others. Washu Habuki is a former Director of the Galaxy Academy and is ranked among the top scientists in the galaxy. She is the one who created Ryoko, and Washu also ends up joining up with Tenchi and the others.
As you can see, there's a rather typical "harem" setup of a loser guy surrounded by several girls. Fortunately, the storyline in Tenchi Muyo! is strong enough that it helps to lift the OVAs above many of the "harem" anime that have been created and produced since the Tenchi Muyo! franchise started back in the early 1990s.
Admittedly, the animation in these OVA episodes look a little "dated"; if you know what to look for, then you can easily tell that these episodes originally came out in the early 1990s. Again, the story itself is able to rise above the animation, so the "dated" animation isn't as distracting as it could be.
Content-wise, there is some occasional female nudity, primarily with the character of Ryoko. While there are other characters who are occasionally seen in just a towel or wearing something a little skimpier, Ryoko is the only female character I can think of who actually has any actual nudity.
As for the release itself, there really isn't much in the way of bonus features. The second Blu-ray Disc and the third DVD contain the bonus features that are included in this set.
The first extra is an omake titled, "Here Comes Jurai Part 2." This seven minute long omake is not actually animated; instead, it is made up of still images with dialogue being said over them. I personally wasn't too terribly impressed with this omake, but it does seem to serve as a bridge between the episode at the end of this DVD box set and the first episode in the Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki box set.
The second feature is the U.S. trailer for Tenchi Muyo!, which runs for about one minute. The last bonus feature are trailers for seven shows that FUNimation was promoting at the time this set was released, as well as a trailer for FUNimation's website.
If you're a fan of the Tenchi Muyo! franchise, then this is an item you want to purchase for your anime library if you don't already have these episodes. Unfortunately, at the time of this writing, this Blu-ray/DVD Combo is the only way that FUNimation Entertainment has released these episodes, so you're stuck with the DVDs if you've already upgraded to Blu-ray.
I wrote this review after watching a copy of this Blu-ray/DVD Combo pack that my husband purchased for me as a gift.

"Why is it that cellists who bemoan their lack of concerto repertory continue to neglect CPE Bach's three essays in the genre? It's a mystery; they're excellent pieces, full of infectious nervous energy in their outer movements and tender lyricism in central ones. They aren't unknown to the recording catalogues, however, not least because they also exist in alternative versions which the composer made for flute and harpsichord.
Though there are times when the low-lying cello has difficulty making itself heard against the orchestra, Suzuki makes light of the matter with performances whose agility, lightness and textural clarity make those of Bylsma and the largersounding Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment sound heavy-handed. But while Suzuki – thanks to a generally thinner sound – is the more successful in the way he transmits the surface excitement and energy of the quick movements, he can't match Bylsma's vocal inspiration in the eloquent poetry of the slow movement. Suzuki's, nevertheless, are refreshing, enlivening performances of attractive and substantial music." - Gramophone Classical Music Guide, 2010

Chapter 10 : Confrontations
| Rating: Mature | Chapter Reviews: 3 |
Background: Font color:
I ran, my heart trying frantically to fighting its way out off my chest; not bothering to even try to protect myself from the pouring rain outside. I simply ran, like the coward that I am, to the only save haven still open to me, to the only place in which I was free to love her. My mother saw me walk in as I ridded myself of my soaked cloak, but one quick glance at my demeanor told her I was in no mood for conversation. With a wildly beating heart I hurriedly locked myself in my fathers old study; a lively fire dancing away in the fireplace, the only light and warmth in the room. I closed my eyes against her image, shaking fingers reaching for the bottle of fire whisky hoping it would be enough to calm me down.
I hadnt expected to see her, especially not there and not after what had happened, the memory of her hurt filled eyes burning furiously in my mind. Tainting the memories that had kept me going for the last few weeks.
I hadnt wanted to leave; I had wanted to spend all of eternity lost in that moment, lying there next to the sweet warmth of her and memorizing every single line of her body, from the silkiness of her moonlight washed shoulders, to the wild array of curls that fell across a snow white pillow.
I had wanted to touch her, taste her, and love her as I had done that night until the very last day of my existence, but with every minute that passed, with every gentle, rise and fall of her chest, fear began to settle in my own. I was afraid of what would happen the moment in which she would wake up and saw me lying next to her. I was afraid of how much it would hurt to see regret flashing across her eyes; I was terrified of how much it would rip me apart if she was to cast me away from her bed and to condemn with guilt one of the most beautiful moments in my life.
Even the thought of it was hard to bear.
So I left and returned to the emptiness that was my life without her. To the mere reflection of memories of her, that kept me going every single day, keeping the memory of that night safe in my mind like a stolen page out of someone elses fairytale.
The sudden sound of the study door slamming open startled me out of my musings, the glass of fire whisky slipping from my hand at the sight that met me.
She stood on the shadowy threshold of the door, the fire place casting its golden light directly at her, the soaking hair sticking to the pale skin of her face, as well her wet clothes hugging every single curve of her body but above all, it was the intense fire that burned in her eyes making her look as uncontainable and frightening as a goddess of death.
Excuse me but how dare you intrude in my house in such a manner? My mothers voice coming from behind her broke the trance.
Leave us mother I commanded knowing that she would obey; casting an inquisitive gaze at us both before she closed the door behind her.
She didnt say anything simply stared at me, that turbulent fire still burning deep within her eyes. Before I could choked up the courage to question her presence she took a quick step towards me, the palm of her hand colliding against the side of my face, with a speed that any seeker would have envied.
How dare you? she spat, How dare you come into my life and take everything I loved away from me?
Hermione I-
Shut up! Just shut up, Im sick of your lies, Im sick of your games but most of all Im sick of you. Her words a vehement whisper more frightening then any amount of yelling could have been.
I was a fool, nothing more than a fool for having fallen into your wicked trap once again; did you have a good time? Are you enjoying yourself? she asked sarcasm dripping like venom from her every word.
Hermione, it wasnt like that. I stated doing my best to not cry out at the pain her words where causing me, it wasnt like that at all.
Stop lying! This time she shouted, her delicate fingers pulling furiously at her hair as she walked away from me. Stop making up fanciful stories Malfoy! You used me, you used me and then you left, just like the last time I was stupid enough to believe your lies.
I havent lied to you; I would never just use you, Hermione. Dont you understand? I pleaded resting my hands on her small shoulder willing for her to calm down.
Dont touch me! She snapped swiping my hands violently away from her body, I wont fall for that again. I was beginning to get annoyed at her stubbornness, she wanted to believe I was lying; she wanted to hate me so it would be easier for her to go back to that
red-headed bastard. I could see it in her eyes.
Well I wasnt going to make it any easier for the git.
You want to know why I left? Fine! I started, my own voice rising against my will, I was a cowards, I didnt want to face the regret you would feel once you woke up and saw me lying next to you. Her eyes snapped up to meet my own, the confusion falling like a curtain across them quickly swiped aside by her remaining anger.
Are you honestly gonna tell me that if I had stayed you would have been completely okay with the situation? I cut across her before she could respond. I never asked you to leave Ron; I wasnt the one who made you give him back that ring. I know what my demons are Hermione, dont try to pin yours on me as well
I saw the blood leave her face at my words, her skin turning such a deadly white that I feared she might faint, with her fierce gaze still on me she opened and closed her mouth a few times as if fighting against the words that were trying to leave her.
Without another word she threw one last murdering glance at me, turned around and left.
My shaking knees gave out under me, tears of anger and frustration threatening to overpower me as I laid on the floor, my fingers buried in my hair pulling desperately at it as if hoping that that small pain could overpower the one burning me from inside.
I was a fool.
Blood pounded furiously against my veins as I slammed the door shut behind me, leaving Draco standing alone in the eerie light cast by the burning fire.
My senses where finally, slowly making their way back to me, my knees where shaking, my whole body feelings ready to collapse as I tried to make my way out of the manor, my mind burning with anger and resentment as Dracos words echoed inside it again and again.
I felt ready to throw up as I reached the winding staircase that lead to the main entrance of the house, I had no idea what was happening to me, my sight was going blurry and just as I placed my foot on the first step of the stairs the exquisitely decorated walls began spinning furiously around me.
I could no longer see anything, could feel nothing but the sensation of falling as if through an endless tunnel, and then nothing.
A/N: Okay the first thing I have to do is apologize to every single one of my readers for having abandoned this story for so long, in my defense, I must say that I lost my inspiration. I was left floating in the dark with words I could not see, whirling around me and no possible way to link them together.
I give a thousand thanks to those who still kept on reading and waiting for the next chapter which you just read. It's short, I know but I just didn't think I could jump head first back into this story, I will try to do it gradually and patientely so as to not dissapoint any of you more than I already have. I do promises that the next chapter will be longer and will be updated as soon as I possibly can. So I hope you can all forgive the long wait and I also hope you enjoy this chapter. I love you all so much because you inspire me to write and to follow my dream.
Thank you.

I am in the south and the latest round of tornadoes came awful close to me. In the past three months there have been three tornadoes, all within 1-2 hours of me. I am in an area that is not known for a lot of tornadoes, but I am also right on the border for hurricane strength winds. I am in a doublewide home, no basement and no storm shelter. I have been searching for days for an affordable shelter, but they are all out of my price range. If I could afford a well built house I would have one, but for now this is my home. I would like to know (with pictures if possible) if anyone has a shelter that they built. I would like to build a shelter that you can walk into, and have it mounded with dirt around the outside. My neighbor is elderly and would have a hard time with stairs, so I am trying to find plans for a walk-in shelter. Ideally, I would like one that is half buried in the ground, with a ramp down to the entry door. This would give us added protection of being partially underground while still being able to avoid steps. Any advice?
I'm also thinking about this..maybe a van body or truck box buried in a hillside? Maybe a new septic tank or some other kind of tank?I'll be giving this some thought..
How much dirt would have to be on top for it to be safe from falling/flying debris? Will a vehicle roof hold up to the weight? I was thinking of digging out a hole and having a cement pad poured. Then build walls up with cinderblocks. What type of roof can withstand the weight of the earth that would have to be on top? I am on flat land, there is no hillside for me to build into. I have a $2,000 budget for this project. Is this possible?
I don't know about the cost, but can you get cement blocks that are meant for building silos? If you can, I would build an eight-foot-tall 'silo' of whatever diameter you can afford, roof it with rebar and ferrocement, start backfilling around it, put some pond liner over not only the 'silo' but also as much of the surrounding ground as possible (to keep as much water as possible away from the shelter), and then finish backfilling and cover the whole thing with a good layer of dirt. You'll need sod on top, and keep it watered so it grows so the roots will hold it down. If anyone has any idea how much a shelter of this type might cost, I'd be glad to know myself. Kathleen
Google on "earth bag dome" and "ferrocement dome". If you are willing and able to to the work, you can have one for 2k or less.
a guy i know has a large, unused, septic tank on his property. he uses it like a root cellar, he cut a door in one end and buried it all except the door. that might have a lot going for it, it is designed to be underground and being underground should provide protection. just a thought dean
I second the earth bag idea. They can be built for a little of nothing. If you dig a hole to build it in, you'd have a secure tornado shelter. I was raised in "tornado alley" so I grew up seeing a lot of them every season. I respect them, but I've spent many years watching them in the sky, and a few on the ground so I'm not scared of them. They used to have a pattern so you would know what direction they are going to move. They've been odd lately, not following the well established pattern, that's getting a bit scary.
I have been working on one made of plywood. Don't laugh. It is remarkably strong. I got the idea from boat building. i am going to use 2X6 ribs on 16" centers and sheath it in 3/4 " hardwood plywood then cover it in a layer of S fiberglass. The ribs will be on the inside and the inside will be coated in epoxy resin. If I build as unitized construction it will be very strong. My reason for doing this, Privacy,secrecy,ease of construction. it will be dry food storage, a safe dry place and it's something I know. I also have the bags for the earthbag construction. I am am going to build the root cellar with those. (If the hole ever dries out)
Just Cliff, is your plywood shelter an above ground shelter? I was looking at a website for septic tanks and they sell concrete lids. I wonder if I can build a concrete shell with cinderblock and re-bar, and then anchor one of those lids to it if that would work. I can dig down and put it 4 ft into the ground, and then berm the top portion. Thank you Cyngbaeld, I will do some googling on those types of shelters.
Just remember one thing when you build it. Make sure the door opens inward to prevent you from being trapped by debris piled against it. And make sure you have some tools (chainsaw, pick, etc) inside with you.
Okay, first build yourself a half-buried root cellar, which you should have already. Then use this for your shelter. Don't build a one-use shelter. Your root cellar serves a dual purpose.
several years ago I built a tornado shelter/root cellar fron a big piece of culvert with wooden ends. The culvert is designed to be buried and I braced the wooden ends against each other so I am confident of its strength. I got the culvert from the county when they did some road work and a friend gave me the wood when he tore out his deck ( it was my lucky day!) Anyway, I coated the edges with burlap soaked in roofing tar then coated the entire thing with that black goo you put on basement walls. Next I wraped a couple of tarps around it and plunked it in the ground. The bottom is below the water table quite often and it is completely dry inside. I am very happy with it. As someone else mentioned, the door opens in and I have some tools in there to cut my way out if I need to. Good luck with whatever you do.
This is a link to Family Handyman with a how to -http://www.familyhandyman.com/DIY-Projects/Home-Safety/Home-Emergencies/how-to-build-a-storm-shelter
There may even be grant money (both fed & state) available for those that live in storm prone areas: http://www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/saferoom/resinit.shtm In particular there are grants for mobile home parks to build community shelters.
You could find a used gas tank co. Fiberglass tank that has been removed. 6' high 16' long and capable of buried earth loads. Cheap 500 bucks and the cost of hauling on a rollback. (That was 5 years ago) No fumes, fiberglass dosen't absorb. I've been in a half buried tank with access door cut and fitted on the end. Semi transparent for some light if you leave some of the top uncovered also has vent pipes access. Good luck
There are tons of DIY shelter plans out there. Do a search on bomb shelters and look at the CD plans from the 50s and 60s.

Connotations of The TextEdit
This poem is an dinner invitation to Catullus's friend, Fabullus.
Line 3Edit
- si - if...
This is the catch for Fabullus - he will dine well if he does all the things about to be listed. It is put at the beginning of the line for emphasis.
Line 4Edit
- candida - white; fair
Can mean either beautiful or blonde as fair hair was a sign of beauty in Roman times.
Line 5Edit
- sale - salt
This word means salt normally, but came to mean wit. This was because salt was used to add flavour the meat, and so in a literary terms the 'flavour' to words is wit.
- cachinnis - laughs
This word is probably derived from Greek since the letter ch was not a Latin sound. The harsh sound that comes from saying this word may reflect the sounds of the laughter described.
Line 8Edit
- plenus sacculus est aranearum - lit. - full the purse is of cobwebs'
The poem makes use of hyperbaton. This is the re-arranging of the word order to create emphasis and effect. Hyperbaton is particularly common in inflected languages, such as Latin and Ancient Greek where the word order does not matter. The joke here is still used today - cobwebs sprung up where nothing has been touched for a while - and Catullus is broke.
Line 11Edit
- unguentum - perfume; oil
The reference to the "oil" or perfume, may be a subtle compliment to Catullus's girl. Both Roman men and women would wear perfume to make themselves smell more attractive.
- Oxford Latin Reader by Maurice Balme and James Morewood (1997)

5 out of 5 stars Breast Reconstruction
Fantastic! - Seattle, WA
Dr. V did immediate reconstruction during my bilateral mastectomy in August 2010. I had expanders, then implants were placed in April 2011. Dr. V has done a great job! I am very happy with the results and very happy with Dr. V's caring and skill. She is very responsive when I have questions, and explains everything!
5 out of 5 stars Breast Reconstruction
Fabulous, Wonderful, Beautiful Work - Seattle, WA
After learning I had Stage 1 breast cancer, one of the meetings my husband and I had was with Dr. V. From the beginning, she was comforting, informative, assuring and genuinely caring in her time and explanations of her role in my journey. I had a unilateral mastectomy with immediate reconstruction by Dr. V. Her work was fabulous. Due to several treatment difficulties, Dr V was unable to complete my reconstruction with the first expander. I recently had a second surgery to replace the expander that had broken down from being in so long. Dr. V somehow improved on her earlier work and I am now looking forward to even more fabulous results. Dr V not only has done excellent work, but has helped me grow through her words of encouragement and kind, caring ways. I strongly encourage any woman dealing with the difficult decisions dealing with breast cancer to seek out Dr. Vaniver. You will not regret the choice.

Breast Reconstruction (Due to Breast Cancer) - Seattle, WA
After my surgery she in check on me, and made sure I was treated very good. Asked if I had any questions, and answer them all. Great care and after the surgery she has this special serum you apply to get rid of scar tissue, so cool. ( it really works) Her staff treated me like I was family and I felt so welcome to be there. Waiting times was so prompt. I will use her again in the future and I tell my friends how Great of a Job She does!!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Breast Implant Removal
Implant Removal Without Replacement - Seattle, WA
Dr. Vaniver is everything I wanted in a doctor. For me it was really important that she's an artist. From what I've read of her she has faced all of the uncertainties that come with the scenarios she treats and then some. She's motivated by her own experience and has a genuine intention. She doesn't sugar coat anything and she never tried to convince me of anything. I knew before my consultation was over that she was the one I'd pick. I knew on an unwavering level that I was in good hands. It's been just over 2 wks and I'm so free and relieved!! She made them look beautiful and natural. Not to mention the fact that I have a tattoo that circles around the breast. After cutting out what she needed to, she actually connected the two sides to meet perfectly. I told her I didn't care about the tattoo and she still went the extra mile. I measure now at a 34B. With the implants I was a 34DD and before the implants I wore an A cup molded bra without filling it. I Was told I had the tissue of a B cup size. I was a level 3 in sagging. I hope this information is helpful. I'm healing well. I'm using her homemade serum and I can tell that the scars will fade quickly. I'll never regret being explanted. I'd recommend Dr. Vaniver to anyone who's thinking about it. This is the quote that makes me think of her. "She who works with her hands is a laborer. She who works with her hands and her head is a craftsman. She who works with her hands and her head and her heart is an artist."

Dr. Vaniver is a very caring and conscientious doctor. She seems to care very much about what you want and what is best for you. She does not have an ego involved. I always felt I was in good hands with Dr. Vaniver. She takes her time and is very kind.

My doctor was really wonderful in every way! There was no judgment and it was such a good experience. I felt thoroughly cared for and safe. I would definitely recommend Dr. Vaniver.

Breast Cancer Reconstruction - Seattle, WA
I had been diagnosed out of nowhere! Once I knew what I had to do - I wanted doctors who could empathize! Dr. Karen had "been there"! With Dr. V, I had to have several procedures - infections set in and I proliferated with scar tissue - some blame doctors. It was just my bod & Dr. V understood!
5 out of 5 stars Breast Reduction
I had always had back and neck pain. - Breast Reduction - Seattle, WA
I asked Dr Vaniver more questions than she was accustomed to. In the beginning I think she thought I was questioning her expertise. In the end she understood that all I wanted was to understand all the steps and be able to visualize everything. Since I am an architect she explained things in a way that made sense to me, as building blocks. She gave me a hug at our first visit. I thought this was a bit unusual but also great and comforting. Right before the surgery I got another hug. I have had two follow up appointments. Dr Vaniver is very pleased with the results and so am I.
Will Be Implant Free by This Time Next Week! Feeling Good About Having It Scheduled. - Seattle, WA
Dr. Vaniver was very gracious, and down to earth. She has a heart for her patients and that comes through just in the first meeting. She speaks frankly and offers the options based on her knowledge and experience. She also offers her best advise which was greatly appreciated, as then I could see we were of like minds as to how to proceed in solving my 39 yr old problems. :-)

City of Wichita Information Technology officials today announced they had updated wichita.gov, with a simplified design that will make it easier for users to access information to pay bills, contact officials, file complaints, request permits, obtain crime data and conduct other public business.
The software, SharePoint, replaces a system that had been used since 2001. SharePoint is a content management system with an improved search function. The new software streamlines the information flow, providing more opportunity to share data and improving efficiency, said Mike Mayta, the City's Chief Information Officer.
The new website was funded through a federal grant that required $30,000 in matching funds. The City started researching improving the website in May. The upgrade started in September after meetings with several focus groups for feedback about the design, navigation and functionality of the new site. The focus groups included residents and business owners who work with the City of Wichita.
"We showed them the existing City site and we compared other municipal sites," Mayta said. "Focus group participants saw some effective and award-winning sites from larger cities. It was very important to us that the new site be built from the view of site customers including residents, employees and other stakeholders."
The new website had a soft launch on Friday and officials completed the transition over the weekend. The site continues to be developed. City staff is still updating information and City officials want additional public feedback on content and functionality. Mayta encouraged visitors to get familiar with the new site.
"It's a completely revamped look and feel," he said, "but we think they will soon find the site more user-friendly than the old one."

Full disclosure and due diligence. I can't fault sony at the moment. Maybe if I had a PSN+ account, but really names, addresses, and passwords are not much worse than what goes in the phone book unless you use the same password for PSN as you do your bank account. If credit card information was stolen then Sony's got some trouble on their hands, but keeping mum, while investigating the situation is often necessary in order to complete the investigation. Furthermore they have publicly accepted the possibility of liability without having verified the data breach. That's fair enough for me. I'm checking my bank statements, but typically CC information is difficult to grab from a standards compliant organization. So, it's quite possible the standards need revised.
that's completely unverified at the moment.

October is National Reading Group Month
A book club can be a great thing. If you don't believe it, there are some outstanding books you can read about book clubs, like Angry Housewives Eating Bon-bons and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. A book club gives you a chance to spend time with people that are a lot like you, or people that are interesting to talk to because they're different from you. We have a group that was organized through the Fairbanks Library but meets at a restaurant each month instead of meeting at the library. If you're interested in joining us or starting your own group, you can look at the branch Events Calendar or the Friends of the Library bulletin board to see what we're currently reading or you can read my 6/27/12 blog post for a list of the books we've read in the past. In addition, HCPL's web site has a book club page with information about what book clubs at the various other libraries are reading. [Clipart © Microsoft.]

I love paintball... but im still a noob at it! but im trying to change that status quick. Paintball is the first thing since computers and videogames that i dont get bored with even if im reading about it! i love techpb since the forums have sooo much information! Im also from the East Bay California, Contra Costa County! if anyone wants to paintball somewhere up north in cali, im down! i also got about 5 other guys that are down as well.
