The Historical Society of Clinton has jumped on the bandwagon of raising money to help save the Irish Hills Towers.
The society announced in a news release Tuesday it will match up to $200 in donations that are given through the Clinton society by July 31, the first deadline for active preservation efforts.
"Since the 1920s, for many travelers on U.S. 12 in the Irish Hills, these towers have been the unforgettable image," the society wrote in its release. "Our Society hopes that future travelers on U.S. 12 will still find these towers standing tall."
Earlier this year, Cambridge Township officials informed the Irish Hills Historical Society to raise sufficient funds to stabilize the dilapidated towers by July 31 or submit a demolition plan by Aug. 1. The towers' tops were removed last week as part of ongoing preservation work.
Irish Hills Historical Society representative Donna Boglarsky expressed gratitude Tuesday for the Clinton historical society's assistance. As of Tuesday, the twin towers had their tops completely removed.
"We are now exploring how best to seal the tops," Boglarsky said.
Checks or money orders may be sent to Clinton historical society treasurer Mary Houghton at 125 W. Church St., Clinton, MI 49236, or more information can be had by calling 456-4074.
Donations may also be dropped off at the Clinton Woolen Mill II shop at 115 W. Michigan Ave. in Clinton.
Checks may be made out to the Historical Society of Clinton with a notation for "Irish Hills Towers." Donations are tax deductible.

Astonishing Photos of a Man on Fire7 Share Tweet
Lighting a man on fire, and then having him run through an empty field in order to to take action shots of him. We highly advise not doing this at home, though we thought the inspirational message the Canadian photographer responsible for dreaming up the "Man on Fire" photoproject one that needed to be shared.
Benjamin Von Wong is a go-getter. The Montreal-based photographer brings his abstract visions to life, even if there's a legitimate reason, such as impending danger, why others haven't attempted the same. Benjamin's advice to other photographers (but not limited to), "just never stop trying, just go out, see how far you can push things, be different".
"Man on Fire" is Benjamin's latest photoproject in which he quite literally had a man set on fire so that he could shoot the fantastical photos you see above and below.
Here is a behind the scenes video, shot by filmmaker Erwan Cloarec. You can see the stuntman being lathered in fire resistant gel and then having a trained, circus fire-blower blow human engulfing flames onto the photographic subject. Our respect goes out to Benjamin for his extensive documentation of his photo shoots, and the cinematic quality of the edited behind the scenes videos.
We love Benjamin's 'above and beyond' attitude as well as his honesty and willingness to share his experiences and techniques with other dreamers and photographers in search of inspiration.
This article was inspired by this Laughing Squid article.

Happy Halloween!
I just want to set the record straight - yes, there was a chicken outfit involved, and a monkey suit as well (isn't Goldfish the cutest monkey ever?). Yes, we did get to meet Joe's twin, and yes there were some vampires and a robot in attendance. There was even an afro and a smoke machine, but most of all there were 30-something really good friends who came out and drove to the edge of town to help us celebrate Halloween - thanks for coming everyone! Love you guys - now what are we supposed to do with all this food? ? ?

I was on the way up for the party but I got stuck in Cold Bay and had to get back in time for work. I guess I am glad I did not make it. I could have been traumatized.
Love from Maine

No comment on the chicken...The picture kind of says it all....
Seriously, I LOVE your new place!
It looked nice enough when you first posted pictures, but I had no sense of the size of the rooms until I saw it furnished and full of people. Very roomy! And your choice of furniture makes it cozy. Also glad to see you are still a Patriots fan! ; )

On today's theme of crooked doors. This is a 200+ year old door frame from Pakistan. My job was to mount the mirrors to it. It's not terribly interesting in terms of what I did, some rabbeting and rounding. I failed to take pictures of the process, but I thought the end result is cool enough to share here.

Bad Google? What Happened, Perhaps Your' Not Well?
Oh boo hoo, Google, you were one of our best friends but now it seems we cannot trust you after all!
What is it with companies that become so big? Do they have to become corrupted? The usual shyster accountants and lawyers seem to get control and then it's all about the bottom line followed by a moral spiral downwards. Why is it that companies have to constantly grow? We all know how dangerous monopolies can be and there is a point at which a company cannot grow much more anyway so should that be the emphasis?

Stephen Villena, the UPLB student who got bashed by supporters of presidential candidate Rodrigo Duterte, has posted an open letter.
Many labeled him as "rude," "disrespectful," and "arrogant" after asking Duterte to give a direct answer to questions and to hurry up so the city mayor can go home during an open forum at the Los Baños campus of the University of the Philippines held last Friday, March 11, 2016.
Villena broke his silence in his open letter presenting his side to clear his name. He, however, did not apologize or say sorry.
Many labeled him as "rude," "disrespectful," and "arrogant" after asking Duterte to give a direct answer to questions and to hurry up so the city mayor can go home during an open forum at the Los Baños campus of the University of the Philippines held last Friday, March 11, 2016.
Villena broke his silence in his open letter presenting his side to clear his name. He, however, did not apologize or say sorry.
My name is Stephen Villena, a student who took part in a forum held in UP Los Banos last March 11, 2016 for the honorable Mayor Rodrigo Duterte. It was an ACADEMIC FORUM about Governance, Transparency, and Social Transformation.
A lot of well-meaning supporters of Mayor Duterte are now venting their anger against me on social media for my supposedly lack of respect for the honorable mayor. Please allow me to provide context to the whole issue. It is my hope that by doing so people will realize that I was simply posing an academic question which required an academic answer and I in no way intended to disrespect the good mayor.
Before I took the floor to ask my question it was made clear to us that Mayor Duterte was in a hurry to leave the forum as it was getting late. I therefore rushed my question hoping for an immediate answer. And since I did not get a direct answer to my question I requested him to please answer my question directly "para maka-uwi na sya." To be clear, it was Mayor Duterte who was in a hurry to leave. The spliced video that was uploaded to the internet did not show the full exchange between me and Mayor Duterte. The cut video somehow made it appear na pinapauwi ko na si Mayor. Hindi po, sya po ang nagmadali na umuwi. In fact I only wanted to accomodate his wish to finish the Q&A portion of the forum asap. The end result was that the people who only saw the shortened video but did not participate in the forum somehow got the impression that I was bastos, arrogante, walang modo.
To my mind the issue I wanted to raise with Mr. Duterte was very important to us students. It concerned EDUCATION versus DEFENSE. He said in the forum that he wanted to give priority to the budget for EDUCATION. So I asked him how he planned to achieve this knowing that in various sorties and interviews he also said that he will give priority to PEACE AND ORDER which I surmised would require a greater budget for the police force and the military.
Much as I wanted to give the good mayor all the time he wanted to answer my question, I was also considering his very limited time with us. If I appeared to rush him it was in no way motivated by an arrogant desire to cut him. I only wanted him, despite his limited time, to give a clearcut answer to an issue which I deem very important.
This here is the crux of the matter: It is not so much the issues I raised with Mayor Duterte that garnered so much attention. It was rather my way of speaking that was deemed insensitive. The spliced video only deepened the perception by many that I arrogantly wanted Mr. Duterte to leave immediately. I am not exactly suave and charming when I speak. This is probably why I was seen as insensitive. But let me just say this: MY PERCEIVED LINGUISTIC IMPERFECTION IN NO WAY IMPLIES AN ARROGANT DISPOSITION.
We live in a country where we value democratic principles. And in any democracy it is a given that there will always be a multitude of opposing views on what constitutes a healthy democracy and who are the best people qualified to manage our fragile democracy. In my case I was not even fighting an opposing view with my personal view. I was ASKING for the particular view of one particular candidate running for public office regarding one particular issue.
To all the people who defended me particularly on social media, you have my deepest gratitude. To all the people who were hurt by my statements in that March 11 forum, rest assured that you have my full respect. I only ask that you try to analyze first the full context of that said forum and hopefully come to the conclusion that I was not maligning your beloved candidate for the presidency. To Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, I know that you carry so much weight on your shoulders now. You have always been known to be frank and direct when you speak. I believe that among the candidates running for the presidency, you in particular will easily understand a student who only wanted to be frank and direct with you. Finally, to all my fellow U.P. students all over the country who have been at the receiving end of scathing criticisms because of me, I can only humbly thank you for standing by me.
It is my prayer that instead of us Filipinos fighting each other over our differences we focus our attention instead on understanding the pressing social, political, and socio-economic problems facing our country. Then we will hopefully be better enlightened when we exercise our democratic right to vote come election time.
It takes maturity to make democracy work. And it takes acceptance of our diversity to make it flourish.
Peace to all who read this open letter. May God give us the grace to accept each other - both for what we are, and in spite of what we are.
Thank you.
DISCLAIMER: I am not a blood relative of any of the candidates running for the national office. Neither am I a friend of any of the children of Maam Leni Robredo as alleged. I am not in the photo supposedly showing me with the Robredo children and I have absolutely no connection with them whatsoever.

Conventional Wisdom: The Housing Payment
The Digerati Life had a post last week linking to a tool at CNN Money. It asks you a few questions and then gives you a letter grade for your financial health. It's just as subtle and sophisticated in its analysis as you would expect from a web applet on CNN.com.
But it does nicely encapsulate the conventional wisdom on personal finance. So nicely, in fact, that I will use it as the structure for a new occasional series here at BMA, The Conventional Wisdom.
Today the topic is the first question in CNN Money's quiz: How much is your housing payment? If you enter in more than 28% of your gross income you flunk this one.
The 28% thing bugs me. First, and I hope this is fairly obvious, a general guideline that applies to everybody is a pretty dumb idea to begin with. Yes, spending 80% of your income on housing is universally a poor idea, but just about any percentage south of 60% could make sense for somebody somewhere.
Even if we accept the need for a guideline of some kind, couldn't it be just a little more subtle than a single nationwide number? Couldn't we have a different number for each state? Maybe a different one for young families and older couples with grown children? How about an adjustment for income level? Couldn't we just have a table instead of a single number? Would it really hurt our little heads that much?
28% of gross income has been Conventional Wisdom for a while now. Where exactly it came from is unclear, but it almost certainly began life as a lending guideline for writing mortgages. If you are loaning somebody money you care a lot about how much income they have coming in the door relative to the monthly payments you need them to make. How the mortgage industry settled on 28% and not something rounder, such as 25% or even 30%, is a mystery, but being non-round implies precision, and people tend to confuse precision with wisdom.
I'm sure I am dating myself for remembering this, but back in the Old Days there were people who wanted to buy as big a house as they could (because house prices never go down) but sometimes couldn't qualify for the mortgage that went with. (Like I said, these were the Old Days.) So they became focused on the 28% lending limit and began to think of a monthly payment of 28% of gross income as the ideal amount, because that was the most the bank would let them get away with, and the goal was to borrow as much as possible.
Of course, banks soon stopped being so uncooperative (because house prices never go down) and 28% became a good idea without much of a reason.
To be clear, there is nothing particularly wrong with spending 28% of your gross income on housing. That might make sense for you. Or not. And the same could be said of spending 20% or 35%. A one-size-fits-all percentage level for housing spending makes as much sense as a single best shoe size or a correct percentage of income to spend on clothing.
Actually, it's a lot worse than a recommended clothing spending level. Housing is, or should be, just about the most variable expense there is across American households.
First, as any person fond of clichés will tell you, real estate is all about location, location, and location. Nothing varies in price in different parts of the country as much as real estate does. The difference between what it costs in the cheap places and the expensive ones would be considered staggering in any other context. If you haven't looked at the actual numbers yourself, spend an hour on realtor.com and look at Detroit and New York. NYC isn't twice as expensive as the Motor City, it's about ten times as expensive.
Of course, people who live in places like NYC, Boston, and San Francisco tend to have higher incomes. (They'd kinda hafta, wouldn't they?) But it's not as proportionately higher as what they pay to keep a roof over their heads. So, naturally, they spend a larger share of their income on housing. Nothing wrong with that. Conversely, somebody who lives in Detroit, Cleveland, or Omaha ought to spend a lot less than the national average.
Then there are personal circumstances and even, dare I bring it up, personal preferences. Lots of things would reasonably affect your level of housing expenditure. How many people are in your household for one. Do you work at home? Would you rather have a big yard and a dog or drive a sports car?
And finally there is income level. When you get down to it, the unspoken premise that housing expenditure ought to be a certain proportion of income is flawed. Housing is what economists call a "luxury good." That means as a person gets richer we expect him to spend relatively more on things like housing and vacations as the portion spent on things like food and utilities shrinks. Everything else equal, we would expect a person making $250K a year to spend a higher proportion of his income on housing than somebody making $50K a year.
What really annoys me about this is that housing expenditure is a big deal for almost everybody. Getting it right is worth some effort. And 28% isn't helping. If anything, it's adding to the confusion. Couldn't we have a somewhat more sophisticated guideline that takes into account such things as where you live and your income level? It could be a web applet. On CNNMoney even.

Solange Knowles, sister of Beyonce, appears to have gone off physically on brother-in-law Jay Z in an elevator on the night of the Met Gala in New York City. The incident was captured on surveillance video that went public Monday.
Solange can be seen swinging and kicking at her in-law in the silent, black-and-white footage released by TMZ. The celebs' attire on tape matches that shown in pictures taken before and after the May 5 incident.
In the video, Beyonce can be seen entering the elevator first, followed by Solange and then Jay Z. A large man who appears to be a bodyguard enters the elevator cab last and hits a button. Solange immediately gets up in her brother-in-law's face, then starts swinging wildly at him.
The apparent bodyguard struggles to restrain a wild Solange and hold her back from the rapper. While she's restrained, Jay Z can be seen stepping forward and saying something to her. When the unidentified man reaches out with his right hand to push another elevator button -- perhaps the "stop," to get a moment of privacy for the group -- she breaks free long enough to send a major kick in Jay Z's direction. Her foot winds up in his hand.
Beyonce, for the most part, appears to stay out of it, though she does step forward between the two after the kick. Solange, still restrained, can be seen yelling in the couple's direction right up until the tape cuts off.
The three had been attending a party at the Standard hotel in New York after the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala, held May 5 in Manhattan. In pictures taken as they exited the elevator and left the hotel, Solange looks seriously ticked off, Jay Z looks stunned and Beyonce has her polite face on. According to TMZ, they left in separate cars, with the two women riding together.
Several of Beyonce's Instagram images were quickly populated Monday with comments reacting to the video, some criticizing the pop diva for staying out of it, others criticizing Solange for disrespecting her sister and still more wondering if perhaps Solange was rushing to her sister's defense over something.
Going by the video alone, it's impossible to say what set off the run-in. Of course, soon after the video hit the Internet, the hashtag #WhatJayZSaid came to life on Twitter with a load of jokey punch lines.
One user made a serious point, however: "Does it matter?" asked attorney @MidwinCharles. "If the roles were reversed, the question would never be asked."

To the Editor:
Re "New York Is a Hub in a Surging Heroin Trade" (front page, May 20):
The causes for the rising demand always need to be part of the discussion if we are to make any inroads in fighting this plague across America.
Powerful prescription drugs like OxyContin and Vicodin are the new gateway drugs in America, and their devastating effects trickle down from adults prescribed these drugs to our children.
The pharmaceutical industry has strung out America on powerful and expensive opiates that leave patients turning to cheap fixes like heroin once they've become addicted.
Coupled with doctors improperly trained about addictive medicine and substance-use disorder treatment, and the stigma society directs toward those suffering from addiction, our country is fertile ground for the spread of heroin use.
Forewarned is forearmed. In the battle against drug addiction and the heroin scourge sweeping the country, the public must be fully educated at every possible opportunity if we are to have any success.

Yankee Smith Trail is a 3.2 mile out and back trail located near Round Top, New York that features a great forest setting. The trail is rated as moderate and primarily used for hiking and trail running.
kid friendly
trail running
Trail is no longer maintained and part of it appears to have been purchased by a private owner who has clearly posted no trespassing signs.
Quiet. Perfect for a little swim and getaway. Strange roads before hand but lead to a beautiful location.
Awesome trail! Make sure to check out the Venus Pool then double back to the main trail. Once you get past a mile or so the signs disappear but like the other posts say, just follow any marker on the trail, paint, ribbons, yellow, blue, red, whatever. There is cell coverage too so just pull up the Alltrail map if you get lost.
Before leaving check out the Fish Pool below the covered bridge - Spectacular!
Interesting trail...or sorta trail. We hiked about a half mile before we saw the first Yankee Smith trail sign, other than the sign at the trailhead. Basically if you see any color trail marker follow it...red, yellow, blue, white. There are other trails in the area to explore as well. Fun day, beautiful stream.
this would be a five star trail if this was better marked out. not only was the sign that marked the beginning rotted (found out on the way out) I was hiking in the fall so I had to rely on paint marks of inconsistent coloring and no real easy of knowing if I hit the end of the trail or not, as it apparently connected to a trail that ran parallel to a gorgeous stream next to some amazing rock walls.
so if you are comfortable using your intuition to hike I recommend this trail, there is a lot of beauty to take in.
This place was great. There are many trails leading off of this trail. Can keep you busy the entire day with different levels of difficulty. Actually kept hiking past trail and hiked up the creek a good 2 miles more. There's a beautiful pond too. Filled with fish and snapping turtles.

november. i'm not entirely sure how i always end up 'homeless' in the winter, but it happens. here i am. the second last night of october, vancouver was hit with the first big rain storm of the season. as per expected, the roof of the slanty shanty finally fell through. it rained for two days into my bedroom. and almost every day since. i had no choice but to leave. i knew it was only a matter of time..
it's a really good thing that i started to talk to strangers. if i hadn't, this whole 'homeless' thing would be a lot more difficult. i've worked full time off and on for most of my adult life, and been homeless for several long stretches spanning all of the seasons [especially winter], but this is my first time having all of the things at once. the environments are reversed, instead of being homeless outside and working inside, i now work outside and have somehow managed to find a few places that i can crash to cover each night of the week. so far.
that said, it's probably more of a challenge than it was working part time and living outdoors. because i pretty well need an indoor space in between my work days, i have to stash all of my belongings divided equally to correspond with where i am each night, where i'm working the next day, and what i'll need to do so. the biggest part of that of course is dealing with my rain gear. by the end of almost every shift, myself and all of my gear is soaked and full of mud so my top priority is getting clean and dry and ready for the next day. not being in the same place every night makes it difficult at times, especially since my two main crash sites are cities apart.
so is all my stuff. i mean, besides just my work gear... all of my belongings are now spread out over five different houses in four different cities in two different provinces, and a pickup truck. oh yeah, i bought a truck. with the sudden failure of my dwelling timing out with the sudden failure of my partner's vehicle, it made most sense to me to just buy a truck right away instead of waiting until spring. the original plan was to wait until the next time i go to ontario, buy a truck there, load it with all of my things and drive it back. i have to get my driver's permit updated before i can do all of that, at least now i have a vehicle to do my road test in when the time comes. that time being my layoff period, which is another factor in the game. soon enough i'll be floating without a source of income for any given amount of time, living on hope and a prayer once again.
and not because i'm 'homeless'... i am home.
now back to the headline. i was sitting on the drive next to my streetkid friend at one of his regular spots, as i have several times before for hours at a time, and for some reason this last time was the first time i noticed this giant sign [that's apparently been there forever] that reads "how do you define 'home'?" i was baffled. had it really been there the whole time? anyways.. home is where i'm at. it's my best friend's kitchen floor, it's under a hat, attached to some backpack straps, a forum on the internet, a particular park bench.
even when i had a place of my own, i've always essentially lived out of my backpack. only difference now, that backpack is a little heavier than when i had my own dwelling. i'm like a turtle, i carry my home around with me. sea turtle. just 'cause. that said, despite shit seeming utterly crazy from the outside, and there's far more insanity to the story than my living situation, i'm actually for the most part quite comfortable with the [potential] arrangement. unfortunately pretty well all of the people closest to me are suffering some sort of unfortunate living situation, tragedy or health malady. me too.. i gotta get myself fixed up soon. i'm no good to anyone else if i'm falling apart myself. all i want to do is help. and i am. me next. i gotta quit smoking, that's for absolute sure. one of my many 'home's is this vessel. i'd like to find a dwelling someday soon, it'd make improving my health a lot easier. in the meantime i have to figure out ways to start the process despite my situation.
anyhoo, the saga continues. december soon come..

As you walk down the aisle looking for the perfect piece of electronics to wake you up in the morning, you may overlook the projection alarm clock sitting on the shelf. There are many models that have more bells and whistles then you would ever need to put on your bed side table. There are ones that you can place your Ipod in so that you can play your favorite music from your bedroom. There are ones that can tell you what the weather outside is. But what is forgotten in the chase for what is new and hot in electronics is the basic need to be able to know what time it is.
Reasons to Buy a Projection Alarm Clock
Number One
In the low light of the morning, it can often be hard to see the digital display on your bed side table. You may have to roll over and even get out of bed to be able to just see what time it is. If you had a projection alarm clock, then you would not have to worry about this. The time would be displayed on a wall of your choice. You can position the lens to display the time in any position so that you can easily see it from your bed.
Number Two
The large displays on many alarm clocks can be so bright that they can keep you up at night. The light from the time being placed on your wall is much dimmer then many of these displays. You will not have to worry about the bright display keeping you from getting a good night's sleep. Studies have shown that the best way to get a restful night's sleep is to have your bedroom as dark as possible.
Number Three
You have a choice on the best way to view the time when it comes to time pieces when you choose a projection alarm clock. While viewing the time on the wall is the easiest and most convenient way to do this, you may have times during the day that you do not need this function. All models have the option to turn off the projection and only view the time on the display screen.
When shopping for a projection alarm clock, you are going to want to check out the online deals. Your local discount store may only have model of this popular piece of electronics. Shopping online gives you a much greater choice of makes and models and price points to fit your needs perfectly.

Video: Live Feed of Rovers Exploring the Ocean Floor
The bottom of the ocean is a largely unknown habitat — but now you can explore it from the comfort of your desk chair. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is live-streaming its three-week investigation of the Gulf of Mexico basin.
The ship Okeanos Explorer set out last Thursday to examine the location and contents of deep-sea habitats in the gulf. The team of scientists will conduct multiple dives using sea rovers, each capable of diving up to 6,000 meters, between now and the end of the month. This is the third leg of a three-part mission that started in February, and the data collected will provide a deeper level of knowledge about deep-ocean habitats than ever before.
Seeing the Ocean Floor
But the researchers aren't keeping this adventurous journey to themselves. Courtesy of the NOAA live stream from the rover Deep Discoverer, you can get the rover's view as it films strange creatures, coral beds, shipwrecks, and maybe even a few mud volcanoes thousands of feet below the ocean's surface. The research team provides live commentary of what they're seeing.
Another feed shows real-time footage overlaid with data that scientists are looking at to guide the mission. A third stream shows the view from the Seirios camera sled.
So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the view from Earth's last unexplored frontier.
In addition to the top video, here are some alternate views:

1 NOW I have found the ground wherein
Sure my soul's anchor may remain,
The wounds of Jesus, for my sin
Before the world's foundation slain;
Whose mercy shall unshaken stay,
When heaven and earth are fled away.
2 Father, thine everlasting grace
Our scanty thought surpasses far,
Thy heart still melts with tenderness,
Thy arms of love still open are,
Returning sinners to receive,
That mercy they may taste and live.
3 O Love, thou bottomless abyss,
My sins are swallowed up in thee!
Covered is my unrighteousness,
Nor spot of guilt remains on me,
While Jesu's blood, through earth and skies,
Mercy, free, boundless mercy, cries.
4 With faith I plunge me in this sea,
Here is my hope, my joy, my rest;
Hither, when hell assails, I flee,
I look into my Saviour's breast;
Away, sad doubt, and anxious fear!
Mercy is all that's written there.
5 Though waves and storms go o'er my head,
Though strength, and health, and friends be gone,
Though joys be withered all and dead,
Though every comfort be withdrawn,
On this my steadfast soul relies,
Father, thy mercy never dies.
6 Fixed on this ground will I remain,
Though my heart fail, and flesh decay;
This anchor shall my soul sustain,
When earth's foundations melt away;
Mercy's full power I then shall prove,
Loved with an everlasting love.

CHARLESTON COUNTY, SC (WCSC) - A woman wanted for a hold-up of prescription pills at a Walgreens pharmacy near Johns Island last Friday has been tied to another robbery earlier this month.
Charleston County Sheriff's Major Jim Brady released three more photos of the suspect Monday. The photos are from a Sept. 3 CVS robbery on Savannah Highway in Ravenel.
In both robberies, investigators say the female suspect handed the pharmacist a note demanding oxycodone. The Walgreens robbery happened around 7:30 p.m., and the CVS robbery happened just before 8 p.m.
During the Walgreens robbery, the suspect wore a white, long-sleeve shirt, black pants, flip-flops, sunglasses and a black baseball type cap. Deputies say the suspect was also wearing blue surgical type gloves.
Surveillance video from the CVS robbery shows the suspect wearing sunglasses, a green and black or blue long-sleeve short, and a black or gray Hurley hat.
Deputies say a getaway driver may have possibly been waiting for the suspect on Old Charleston Road during the Walgreens robbery.
Anyone knowing the identity or whereabouts of the woman captured in these surveillance pictures please call the Charleston County Sheriff's Office at 843-202-1700 or Crime Stoppers at 843-554-1111.

"We are going to drive a stake through the heart of FPS cliches." A declaration like this might normally seem arrogant, but Ken Levine, the Creative Director of the ambitious next-gen shooter BioShock, backs his words up with a gonzo demonstration. The narrated video that you can now see for yourself (by hitting theMovies tab at the top of the page) shows that Levine is serious about ending cookie-cutter AI, static environments and hallway-bound "rail shooters."
BioShock's story centers on exploring the bowels of Rapture, the magical, decrepit city at the bottom of the sea, but the unique and incredible relationships of her residents steal the show. Rapture is a failed attempt at an underwater utopia, and the sea is slowly reclaiming the city. Pay particular attention to the astonishingly realistic water effects, only made possible by dedicating an entire team of programmers to making these possible.
This is the first time that the public has been invited to see BioShock in motion, even though the press saw a similar demonstration months ago during E3. This delay is notable not for the secrecy of the project but for the care the team is taking to show gamers only startlingly polished views of the game at every stage. In this era of shoving unfinished games out of the door as soon as possible, this rare approach is welcome and one we hope is borne out when the game is released next spring.

XLR8 announced that it has posted a white paper which releases into the public domain information allowing a manufacturer to enhance current Power PC 7400 ZIF processor card designs. This specification optimizes cache coherency and enables the processor for use in multiprocessing architectures such as the XLR8 MACh Velocity MPe and the MACh Carrier G4 MPe.
"With the tremendous performance benefits that come from using dual processors in OS X and 9.1 today, multiprocessing will become the way to give current machines much greater performance. With the SMP architecture of OS X and a second MPe enabled ZIF processor, the result is up to twice the performance. "Itis never been easier to upgrade! Users should insist on Power Macintosh G4 upgrades also being MPe ZIFs," explained Jack Kolk, VP and General Manager of XLR8. "It gives the highest level of performance for a single processor upgrade and allows the use of this processor in a multiprocessor environment with even greater performance. Even if the user never upgrades to multiprocessing the XLR8 MACh Speed G4 MPe still has greater resale value when the machine or processor is sold. With the next generation of Power PC upgrades utilizing the Power PC 7450 processors soon to come to market, why would you want anything but an MPe design?"
XLR8 designed the MPe ZIF to overcome the limitation created by the lack of multiprocessing support the current ZIF processor design used in many of the more popular recent Macintosh machines. The specification allows for Power PC G4 processors to communicate in a much more efficient manner in order to optimize multiprocessing support. The communication methodology is the standard supported by the 7400 Power PC or G4 processor family but it requires circuitry support that, up until XLR8is MPe design, had not been implemented.
You can find more information on the MACh MPe cards at the XLR8 Web site.

The New Mum's guide to Hersham
The New Mum's guide to Hersham
First of all, congratulations on your new arrival. Not only is it spring – a special season to have a newborn, but Hersham is a wonderful place to spend those precious, and often very blurry, early days with a baby.
The 'transition', if we may call it that, from being childless to your baby's mother is something that nobody can prepare for. Even at the best of times, having to uncover the unique world of babies can take a while – it's a far cry from being able to jump on the train into London at the drop of a hat.
I've been a mum for just over a year now, and as well as having a new baby, I was also new to Hersham. Needless to say, I had to find my way around pretty quickly. But I was chuffed to discover that Hersham, and the surrounding area, is packed to the brim with great places to check out with a baby in tow.
Time is of the essence and energy is a precious resource. I get that. As a parent, there's nothing worse than a wasted opportunity to refuel and refresh. To instead feel even more worn-out is so achingly frustrating that it's easier to go without and stay in. There will certainly be days when it really is best to try and sleep when baby does. Annoying, but true. But when there is gas in the tank and a baby to show off, then, thankfully, you don't need to venture too far to get a dose of the world beyond the nursery.
So, here it is: my top-5 for all the new mums (and dad's, grandparents and carers) lucky enough to reside in KT12.
- A spot of stress-free shopping
Aside from the godsend that is online shopping, there are times when we all just want to get out of the house and have a browse. The fresh air and a change of scene really can make all the difference some days. However, the thing with babies is they only have x amount of minutes before a feed is due or a change is needed. So where to go is a big decision. After all, it's got to be worth it. Hersham is very fortunate to have both a Waitrose and a baby-friendly Costa, within very close proximity to each other and the Village Green. It's a perfect combination – need I say more? If that's not good enough, or if it becomes a bit boring, then just a short 15-minute car journey away is Morrisons in Weybridge. Not only does it have a great café there, but the baby-changing facilities are fab! I'm a huge fan of their children's line, Nutmeg – handy for stocking up on some much-needed baby clothes. Trust me, there aren't many places where it's possible to get the weekly shop and have a nice cup of tea, not to mention comfortably tending to the baby, all under one roof.
Hersham is a friendly village with a strong community feel. What's more, it's full of young families and it offers tons of opportunities to meet people at a similar life-stage. Specifically, there are some really great places were you're guaranteed to make a friend or two: The Burhill Children's Centre is a wonderful resource to have on our doorstep. The Jitterbugs classes there are great fun, and very popular. As well as that, Tuesday morning Rhyme Time sessions at Hersham library are also fantastic. If that's not enough, then there's a wide range of baby classes and coffee mornings taking place throughout the village, such as those held at the Hersham Centre on The Green, and at The Gems baby groups held at St. Peter's Church, all with a very warm welcome. My favourite baby group was Baby Sensory held up at St. Mary's in Oatlands. Easily some of my warmest memories were made at there.
- Walks to blow away the cobwebs
Sometimes, when baby just won't sleep, there's only one thing for it: a walk with the pram. Often these walks can be quite long, but fortunately we have some lovely roads in the area that are just great for winding around with a sleeping baby. Offering the walker a chance to clear their mind while doing so. Whether it be lapping the Village Green, or even around Back Green on Burhill Road and Pleasant Place, or taking a stroll up to Squires Garden Centre (I've spent many a sleepy-walk cruising that place), there's plenty of choice. When the weather is fair and it's not too muddy (and if you've got a more robust buggy) then down by Hersham Riverside, behind Waitrose, is a pretty spot. Further afield, there are countless parks and commons to make more of event of it: Hampton Court Riverside, and Painshill Park in Cobham, are particularly beautiful.
- Babies that lunch
Going out with young children takes considered planning. Keeping them entertained and among others who are understanding of the fact that it took three hours to leave the house is one way to try and secure a pleasurable experience. For this reason, soft play centers come into their own. Hersham is resident to Piglets Play Centre on Burhill Road. Put simply, this place is a really lovely little spot for the whole family to enjoy, as well as being a playdate-dream. A short car ride away, in Esher, is The Play Café, located in the grounds of Sandown Golf Centre (within the race track). I think this place is the best soft play by a long shot, and its really good for little babies because it has a sweet little baby area, safely tucked away from the more daring crawlers and walkers.
- Stealing some me-time.
For a new mum to get a chance to treat herself to a long, hot bath, is tough, let alone to get out and away from it all for a breather. Whether you've got half an hour or a half-day to spend at your leisure, there is something for you to do to replenish the soul. Lifestyle Natural Health in Hersham offers a wide range of holistic body treatments, including a 10-minute head massage, making it that little bit easier to treat yourself. If you've a little more time to hand, then may I suggest The Brooklands Spa at The Brooklands Hotel in Weybridge. It's a little oasis and it's so close to home that a treatment or two is entirely justifiable, doing yourself, and your new family, the world of good.
If such things are out of the question, then may I suggest kicking everyone else out of the house; they can enjoy the area, while you, dear mama, take a well-earned soak.

text: With one of the recent Google Maps updates, it automatically installed Latitude. I saw it in my apps drawer and clicked on it to see what it was. It asked for my Google account and I filled it in. After messing with it and figuring out what it was, I turned on the Hide your location option and turned it off. I get an email today saying that I've been sharing my location. I get home and again open up latitude and hide my location. I immediately open it back up and it's showing my location. I have no use for this app. I don't want it but if I uninstall it, it uninstalls the Maps update as well. There is no option in the app to log out of my google account. I can't get it to turn off my location. I even went to my google account settings on my computer and it doesn't give me the option to delete my Latitude account. How do I get out of this? I don't want it. I can't uninstall it and can't even log out. I can't turn off the share location setting. This is ridiculous. Thanks for any help you can offer.

MONCHENGLADBACH, Germany - Cameroon coach Volker Finke says Chelsea striker Samuel Eto'o gave his side a timely World Cup boost with an impressive display in their 2-2 friendly against Germany.
The 33-year-old Cameroon captain had laboured with groin and hamstring injuries during the Indomitable Lions pre-World Cup camp in Austria.
But the Chelsea star, who is now a free agent and has been linked to a move to Arsenal, produced an impressive display over 92 minutes against Germany in Moenchengladbach on Sunday.
He was a constant menace to the hosts' defence and put Cameroon ahead with a well-taken 62nd-minute strike.
And he created the best chance of the first-half with a superb defence-splitting pass which Benjamin Moukandjo failed to convert.
With 114 caps and now 55 goals for Cameroon, Eto'o is a key factor in his country's bid to reach the World Cup knock-out stages for the first time since 1990.
"I'm pleased he lasted so long out on the pitch after coming to us injured from Chelsea, we'll have to see how he is in the next few days," said Finke, who will submit his final 23-man squad on Monday.
"With his quality, he always presents himself in dangerous situations and he's simply an exceptional striker." Eto'o missed last Thursday's 2-1 friendly defeat against Paraguay and Cameroon's German boss Finke had said the veteran would "only play a few minutes" against Germany.
Finke's Indomitable Lions play their final warm-up match against Moldovia in Yaounde on Saturday having drawn with Germany after Eric Choupo-Moting's late equaliser.
Their opening World Cup match is against Mexico on June 13 in Group A where they also face Brazil and Croatia.
"It was important to get a good result against Germany and show what we can do, but the all important thing for us now is June 13," added Finke.

Before Blogging: Top 10 Books
What have been some of your favorite books?
9 comments:
Wow, I loved six of these... guess I should read the other four!ReplyDelete
Fantastic list! I adored most of those myself. :) I've never read Midnight, I probably shouldReplyDelete
The five I read were absolutely fantastic, so I'll better read the others, as well. Some of my favourites The Children's War by J.N. Stroyar, These is My Words by Nancy E. Turner, The Grapes of Wreath by John Steinbeck, A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth, anything by Orhan Pamuk, Joyce Carol Oates, Barbara Kingsolver, I could go on and on, you better check my list on my blog "Let's Read" ...ReplyDelete
I read A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN as part of a college course on children's lit and LOVED it. I definitely need to re-read it -- thanks for the reminder.ReplyDelete
Happy TTT!
I have heard many of these books. I have seen the film version of Memoirs of a Geisha & heard the book is great too :)ReplyDelete
new follower!
I've heard of all of these, but I think the only ones I've read are A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and The Poisonwood Bible. I wonder if we think about books differently now that we blog about them...ReplyDeleteReplies
Lindsey-- Excellent question about how bloggers think differently about books than they did before blogging. I realize that I very much do and sometimes I miss the before. I often find myself in a rush to finish a book so that I can post about it instead of enjoying the full process. Thanks for visiting!Delete
Happy Reading,
Great Top 10, I read memoirs of a geisha too!ReplyDelete

As Adobe Flash and Microsoft Silverlight duke it out over their plugin-based, HTML-alternative web platforms, Apple is using Gianduia, its new a client-side, standards based framework for Rich Internet Apps, to create production quality online apps for its retail users.
Apple introduced Gianduia last summer at WOWODC (World of WebObjects Developer Conference), an independent event scheduled near the company's own WWDC event in June. It is likely that more information will surface at this year's WOWODC and WWDC events.
After watching the NDA demo Apple gave for the new framework at WOWODC last year, Rentzch also tweeted, "Blown away by Gianduia. Cappuccino, SproutCore and JavascriptMVC have serious competition. Serious."

Pure Pwnage started as an Internet-distributed mockumentary series about the life and adventures of Jeremy (played by Jarett Cale), a Canadian self-proclaimed "pro gamer". Inspired by the style of Trailer Park Boys, the show has now migrated to TV on Canadian channel Showcase.
This TV series is somewhat separate from the web series in that is does not strictly follow on from it's story, instead re-imagining some episodes from the web series for the new TV audience. The web series is also still in production and new episodes of that are forthcoming.

So, this card starts with a 5x7 black cardstock base. The black cardstock is Recollections and the designer paper is SU - Pick Your Poison. The edges of the desinger paper I distressed with a Tim Holtz tool. The witch, the spider, and the Halloween sentiment are from Inkadinkadoo - All Hallow's Eve. This is a great collection of clear stamps. All the stamping was done with Stazon - Jet Black.
Thanks for stopping by and having a look :)

A blood culture indicates what kind of medicine will work best to treat your pneumonia, which is caused by different types of bacteria. A blood culture is a test that the healthcare provider uses to determine which bacteria may have caused your pneumonia and which antibiotic should be prescribed.
It is best to do the blood culture within 24 hours of arrival at the hospital and before antibiotics are started. It is also important to start antibiotics as soon as possible. A blood culture helps your healthcare provider give you the best treatment and indicates if any precautions are necessary to prevent the spread of your illness.
The chart above shows the percentage of pneumonia patients that were given a blood culture test before antibiotics were started.

The random, irrelevant musings of a law school graduate.
yesterday my company announced that they would no longer be providing paper coffee cups for employees. the email claimed it was part of an effort to become "greener", but it's really a way to cut costs (see also: making our objectives more difficult to meet so they dont have to hand out raises, changing our benefit provider to someone offering a worse plan, taking away saturday lunches provided by the company (which really hurts the company because it would spend approximately $70 each weekend to feed the 5-7 employees, however, people pretty much all ate at their desk and worked thru most of their lunch. essentially, the company was getting a 9th hour of work, or the majority of one, for free from everyone. now, everyone takes their full hour most days), and/or consolidating office space).
that was the forecast at least. i'm happy they were wrong (as is usually the case). we did get 4-5, which is way better than 10 (it's how you use it, really).

This is first of a book review which I am writing. And the book is "The Negotiator" by "Frederick Forsyth". The book begins off rather slowly giving us a backdrop of the cold war and how the two superpowers US and Russian Govt. are trying to patch up and sign a treaty of disarmament. Meanwhile it introduces us to a set of people spread across continents who will be destroyed by this treaty. The kidnapping of a young oxford student happens next which catches you unaware. The real drama begins when the master novelist discloses the identity of the kidnapped boy. And it is from here that the novel picks up amazing pace and generates immense interest. The character sketch of the negotiator is truly awe-inspiring. And he lives up to all the characterization till the very end proving that he is one of the smartest. The novel again reaches its peaks in its penultimate pages and a thrilling climax gives a fitting end to a masterpiece.
I won't call this the best book I have ever read , but it is definitely one of the best. This is the first book by Frederick Forsyth I have read, and am planning to read many of his books now. I am hoping all of his works are equally appealing. People with a taste for thrillers and politics and with considerable amount of patience, recommended for you!

Summer of Code Application Guidance
First of all, please engage with the mentors and other community members on our chat channels! Participating in a community is an essential part of open-source development. We understand that it can be intimidating if you are not experienced, but we've all been there and will do our best to welcome you and show you the ropes.
Project Ideas
We have an project ideas page that lists project ideas suggested by our mentors. You may submit any project proposal at all that is related to open-source C#/F#/.NET development, however we can only accept proposals for which we have a mentor available with relevant expertise. Ideas listed on our ideas page already have mentors who are able and willing to mentor them.
Do not cut-and-paste the text from our project ideas page in your application. We know full well what the text there is. Instead, explain to us your take on the problem, like "I could implement this using this and that", "I would need to research these areas", "I might need help sorting this out", etc.
Remember that many people will apply to work on the Summer of Code and we cannot accept them all. Keep in mind that those of us evaluating your application do not know you, we do not know what kind of experience you have, we do not know what you have done in the past, and we have to pick the best people suited for a particular task.
Hence, it is very important that you tell us in your application why you should be considered to implement a particular project. Your proposal is a pitch for why we should pick you for a particular project. Use this opportunity to demonstrate your enthusiasm, your understanding of the topic and your ability to research and plan.
Your proposal should explain why you are interested in the idea/project, your plan to implement it, and any relevant background experience. You must also state that this project will be your primary project for the Summer of Code period and you will not have any concurrent internships or other work. Examples of existing open-source contributions, such as links to pull requests you have made, are helpful, but not required.
We especially want to see:
- A concrete list of goals/deliverables for the time period.
- A rough estimate of the steps it will take to complete your project.
- A timeline showing how long you believe each step will take.
Remember that multiple people may apply for the same project, and we cannot accept multiple people for each project, even if they are amazing and we really want to work with all of them. However, you may apply multiple times for different projects, which gives us more flexibility when picking students and projects.
The student manual is also an excellent source of advice for writing a good proposal.
Make sure you get your application in by the deadline, which is shown on the Summer of Code website. Don't leave it till the last minute!
Ground Rules
This must be your primary project for the duration of the Summer of Code coding period, and you should expect to put in put in the amount of work that you would for a full-time job. You should not have another internship or job during this time. The only default exception to this rule is examinations and other academic requirements.
Language: Code must be written in the same language as the host of the project:
- Mono VM extensions in C
- Tools extensions in C#
- APIs in C#
- etc.
Licensing: All of the code submitted must be contributed under the terms of the MIT License.
Acceptance criteria: The results must be maintainable and clean. If the code works as advertised but its a quick hack or something we would have to rewrite from scratch, we would not accept the project as completed.
We would rather have a maintainable, clean and incomplete piece of code that we could extend than a complete but unmaintainable piece of code. We strongly encourage students to submit their code as a series of pull requests that can be reviewed and merged over the course of the summer.
Contacting the Mono Team
If you have questions or suggestions that you want to make in real-time and talk to a member of the team, please join us on IRC on the server "irc.gnome.org" in channel "#monosoc", "#monodev" or the "#mono" channel. Various mentors and students from past years are usually there and can answer some quick questions about the program and about Mono.
Our Gitter IM channels for mono and monodevelop are also a great place to chat to developers and students.
The mailing lists are a very important communication channel, students should use them to get more information and feedback about ideas and proposals. Community engagement is essential for a successful Summer of Code, so get involved!
For any questions you may have about the program itself and to talk to the Mono GSoC admin, you can use firstname.lastname@example.com.

Mechanical Engineering Graduate Program Rises in Rankings
By Jennifer Donovan | Published
Michigan Technological University's graduate program in mechanical engineering-engineering mechanics rose in US News & World Report's graduate school rankings this year, placing 44th in the nation. That is four points better than last year's ranking.
The US News & World Reports 2013 rankings of graduate engineering schools were released on March 13, 2012.
Overall, Michigan Tech's College of Engineering placed 88th of 194 graduate engineering programs ranked nationally, well within the top half of programs nationwide. Tech shares this ranking with Rochester Institute of Technology, the University of New Mexico, the University of Alabama-Huntsville and the University of Texas at Arlington.
In the 2012 rankings, released in March 2011, Michigan Tech's graduate engineering programs ranked 85th in the nation.
Other engineering specialties ranked at Michigan Tech this year include:
- Environmental engineering—31st.
- Materials science & engineering—51st.
- Civil engineering—54th.
- Chemical engineering—91st.
- Computer engineering—91st.
- Electrical engineering—102nd.
Geology, ranked by US News as a science graduate program rather than an engineering specialty, placed 81st.
Each year, US News ranks graduate school programs in business, education, law and medicine. Every two years, they rank other programs such as the sciences. The overall rankings are based on two kinds of data: opinions of deans, program directors and senior faculty at more than 1,200 institutions, and statistical indicators of excellence. These indicators include the percentage of faculty who are members of their most selective professional organization. For engineering schools, this is the National Academy of Engineering. Other indicators evaluated include the percentage of PhD students to faculty, the average Graduate Record Exam score, graduate enrollment, research expenditures and PhDs granted.
Rankings in specialties within engineering or other fields are based solely on assessments by department heads in each specialty who rate other schools on a 5-point scale.
Michigan Technological University is a public research university, home to more than 7,000 students from 54 countries. Founded in 1885, the University offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science and technology, engineering, forestry, business and economics, health professions, humanities, mathematics, and social sciences. Our campus in Michigan's Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway and is just a few miles from Lake Superior.

1000 Squirrels
Some warning from this marching squirrel band
A tell-tale sign of things to come
Of swishing tales
Of cracking whip
Of hazelnut dips
Tastefully chewed from within this frenetic nut
like a bolt from the blinding blue;
a rainbow blur of red, yellow, green,
and a tiny touch of effervescent black.
My squirrel playground dominates
my every waking thought:
whilst I stare in amongst the cracks.
I pause, I stop, I stare in wonder; jaw a gape!
As a squirrel stops to play the spoons
in a shimmering tune
followed by a tambourine's twirl
A reverie for the pack to split
And chase me round a rainbow tree
All this and it's an early nine
I should rise and face the cacophony of doom
