The Jerry L. Stewart Mine Safety Training Center, which had been slated to close Dec. 31, now will stay open through the first half of 2015.
The Jerry L. Stewart Mine Safety Training Center, which had been slated to close Dec. 31, now will stay open through the first half of 2015.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources is finalizing an agreement with local officials to keep the facility open through June 30, 2015, said Mark Bruce, spokesman for the state agency.
The training center is in the Cadiz Industrial Park, in a building owned by the Cadiz Community Improvement Corp.
"No lease has been signed yet," he said Wednesday. The agreement still needs the approval of the State Controlling Board.
"This will allow ODNR to offer mine safety classes while keeping our presence in the community," Bruce said.
"We're very happy they extended the lease," said Cadiz Mayor Ken Zitko.
State Sen. Lou Gentile, D-Steubenville, who represents Harrison County, said the news that the training center would remain open is "a positive development for Cadiz and all of Harrison County."
Officials from Cadiz, Harrison County and the United Mine Workers, along with Gentile's office, joined forces to communicate to the state the importance of the facility, he said.
"I think our efforts locally were a turning point in the state keeping a presence in the area," Gentile said.
In September, ODNR officials announced that the training center would close and move to a temporary location in Cambridge.
The facility opened in May 2009 and is one of just four in the United States. Others are in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Colorado. The Cadiz center provides training to about 8,000 miners a year from Ohio and neighboring states.
Last year, an ODNR spokesman said the facility is regarded as one of the best in the country.
The state will retain its offices and continue classroom training in Cadiz. The future of the mine safety simulator is less certain.
"It's my understanding that there is conversation between ODNR officials and local officials on the mine safety simulator," Gentile said.
He added, "My concern all along has been to preserve those jobs and keep them in Harrison County and continue to provide coal miners in Ohio with the best possible training facilities."
Zitko said he was asked by the state to identify locations in Cadiz where a new training center could be built. He and village Zoning Administrator Charlie Bowman found six or seven possible sites.
"Hopefully, they will build in the village," the mayor said.

Rosie Hopkins is looking forward to Christmas in the little Derbyshire village of Lipton, buried under a thick blanket of snow. Her sweet shop is festooned with striped candy canes, large tempting piles of Turkish Delight, crinkling selection boxes and happy, sticky children. She's going to spend it with her boyfriend Stephen, and her family, who are flying in from Australia. She can't wait. But when a tragedy strikes at the heart of their little community, all of Rosie's plans for the future seem to be blown apart. Can she build a life in Liption? And what's best for the sweet shop, also what's best for Rosie?
Rosie gave up her life in London to run her aunt's sweetshop. It was only supposed to be a temporary measure but she's still there. Rosie is now living with Stephen, the heir of Lipton Hall; she is happy and content but when tragedy strikes, she begins to question what she wants. But before she can deal with it all, she has the small matter of her whole family arriving from Australia to celebrate Christmas.
Christmas at Rosie Hopkins' Sweetshop is a heart warming read. I loved the small village setting and I could easily imagine Rosie's beautiful sweet shop. In the main, I liked Rosie's character but there were a few instances where I thought she had a real chip on her shoulder.
There is a lot of humour in this book and I think that Jenny Colgan gets the balance right between warmth and wit.
Christmas at Rosie Hopkins' Sweet Shop is a lovely festive read; romance, humour, sweets and tinsel- perfect!

The victims of a raceway crash on Saturday have been identified as a race car owner and the 14-year-old cousin of the teenage driver.
The Yuba County Sheriff's office on Sunday said 68-year-old Dale Wondergem Jr. of Grass Valley and Marcus Johnson, 14, of Santa Rosa died after they were struck by a race car in the pit area. The crash occurred during an event at Marysville Raceway Park about 6 p.m. Saturday.
Officials said Marcus Johnson is the cousin of 17-year-old driver Chase Johnson of Penngrove, who was not injured in the collision at the racetrack about 40 miles north of Sacramento.
Chase Johnson is a senior at Petaluma High School, north of San Francisco, and is a fourth-generation race car driver, according to his website, Chase Johnson Racing.
He has been racing for three years at the Petaluma Speedway, where he's won multiple races and was last year's series champion, said Ron Lingron, the track announcer at Petaluma Speedway. His father, grandfather and great-grandfather were also champion drivers in Petaluma, where the family owns a muffler shop.
"They're the first family of the Petaluma Speedway,'' Lingron said Sunday. "There's not a better kid you're going to find in the racing community than Chase Johnson. To have something like this put around his neck is a tragedy.''
Wondergem owned a race car at the track, but not the one involved in the crash. He was pronounced dead at the scene, while Johnson was pronounced dead shortly after being transported to a hospital.
"It was reported that Marcus was not an official member of Chase Johnson's pit crew, his presence in the pit area is still being investigated," the Yuba County Sheriff's Department said in a Sunday afternoon news release.
Investigators said the crash occurred when the race car driven by Chase Johnson of Santa Rosa careened off the track and into the pit row.
Six to seven "winged sprint cars" were completing warm-up laps when the crash happened.
The cause of the accident in under investigation, and autopsies of the victims will be conducted Monday or Tuesday.

Monticello High School won its ninth team state wrestling championship on February 15 at the Maverik Center in Salt Lake City.
Coach Kent Adair's cohorts, riding on the backs of five individual state championships, two seconds and two thirds, outpointed the four time defending champs, Altamont Longhorns, by the score of 205 to 180.5 to give MHS their 49th state championship overall.
The Bucks now have crowned 88 individual state wrestling champions.
Number 84 is Hunter Bowring, who became the 25th Buckaroo wrestler to win two state titles with his win in the finals. Bowring pinned all three of his opponents at state, including the final, when he pinned rival Austin Trapp of Piute with just 52 seconds left in the match and trailing 5-2. Bowring was 45-4 on the season.
Number 85 is Brandon Musselman, who won at 138, pinning two of his opponents and dominating at 13-3 in his other match. Brandon wins his first state title after finishing second the past two years. He finishes the season with a 43-6 record.
At 152, Cole Eldredge, #86, won his third state championship in a row in dominating fashion, pinning all three opponents in the first period to become just the 13th three timer for the Buckaroos.
Eldredge, a junior, who will be going for a four-peat next year, completed a 47-4 season, tying former Buckaroo David Boyle (2010) for the most wins in a season. In his three title winning tournaments, Eldredge has pinned eight of nine opponents.
Austin Wilcox also won his third state title in a row (14th) and is the 87th Buckaroo state champion. Wilcox utterly controlled the 182 bracket, pinning all three opponents in just 111 total seconds of wrestling. He also won 47 matches to just three defeats to join Boyle and Eldredge in that category.
In fact, so dominating has been Wilcox that in his three state championship tournaments, he pinned every wrestler he faced. That is nine pins.
The 88th Buckaroo state champ is senior Jake Giles. Giles won after defeating the top seed Tony Brown of Altamont in the semi-finals, also a key win in the Buckaroo team championship. Giles wrestled his way to 38 wins and just eight losses this year.
What about next year, you ask? The Bucks graduate seven seniors, Bowring, Dailynn Warren, Curtis Baird, Chandler Draper, Eric Anderson, Wilcox, and Giles. They account for 116 of the 205 team points, but have two returning state champions and will be joined by a good group of freshmen wrestlers.
Altamont, on the other hand, graduates four seniors – only two that placed – and will have three returning state champions. Number ten coming up is SS's prediction!
Second place finishers Chance Weahkee and Eric Anderson were instrumental in the Buckaroo title run. Weahkee surprised many by making the final in the 120 lb bracket. Weahkee, a junior, finished the season at 23-11, losing in the finals 10-5 to a three time state champion from Altamont, Brady Farnsworth. He earned the Buckaroos 20 important points. He finished third as a freshman for the Buckaroos.
Anderson's run to the finals capped an amazing two-weeks for the Buckaroo senior. A fifth seed, Anderson put together three upsets in the Divisional tournament, and pinned in all three wins.
At state, he pinned his first two opponents, including the former number one seed in divisionals from Panguitch for the second time in a week, to get to the finals.
Like Weahkee, Anderson came up short against a three time state champion from Altamont, Rylee Foy. Anderson finished the season with a 20-12 record. He placed fourth at state as a sophomore.
Third place, perhaps, is the hardest place to achieve. It comes only after suffering a loss along the way, a loss that might have put one in the finals. Devastating, most often.
Such was the case for freshman Shandon Bradford, who lost to teammate Weahkee in the semifinals, but came back to pin two wrestlers from Duchesne to claim third place.
Senior Dailyn Warren (26-10) barely lost in the semifinals to eventual 132 champ, Peter Cucinotti of Telo Academy (right, I've never heard of it either), but came back with two wins, including one over teammate McKayd LaRose, to capture third place as well. Warren pinned his Duchesne opponent in the final match to end his Buckaroo wrestling career.
Freshman Parker Knudsen grabbed third place as well. After losing to eventual 285 champ, Hawkan Cornia of Rich in the semis, Knudsen did the difficult, pinning both his opponents to take the third place medal. Knudsen finished the season with a 30-14 record.
Lady Bucks to state!
The Lady Buckaroos basketball team ran their winning streak to nine in a row with three region victories in the final week of the regular season to capture the Region 19 title.
With a 48-22 Friday night win over Pinnacle, the Lady Bucks capped a swift week, also redeeming their only region loss of the year with a solid 43-37 win over Green River and besting Navajo Mountain in a makeup game canceled earlier on account of snow, 67-39.
The win puts the Lady Bucks in the Region 19 #1 spot, against the winner of the Region 18 #4/Region20 #6 play-in game. Those two teams will probably be 7-11 Intermountain Christian and Bryce Valley, at 9-13 on the season.
Coach Ben Wolford's Buckaroo gals sport a 17-5 record on the season.
Common opponent with IMC is Tintic, whom the Lady Bucks defeated in December in just their second game by six points and to whom IMC lost to twice by six points and 10 points.
The only common opponent the Lady Bucks have with BV is Green River, whom the Bucks were 1-1 against and whom BV bested 52-27 the first game of the year.
Game time for the opening round at the 1A state tournament is 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Sevier Valley Center in Richfield.
The Esplin Boys of MHS basketball ran their record to 14-3 with a perfect 8-0 Region 19 record with a 72-42 win over Pinnacle in Price on Friday night.
The Buckaroos started slow, actually trailing Pinnacle 19-16 after one quarter before turning on the gas and outscoring the Panthers 56-23 the rest of the way.
Austin Maloy and Tanner Eardley led the Bucks with 16 points apiece. Dillon Maughan (three treys) and Sheldon Black both scored ten points in the win as ten different Buckaroos scored. Matt Freestone led the rest with eight points.
The Bucks have two games this week, on Tuesday with Ignacio, Colorado and Friday at Monument Valley before closing the regular season with Green River at home on Thursday, February 27.

Earlier this week it was confirmed the Samsung Galaxy S4 would be sold by all major networks in the U.S., and while AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint had all put up pre-order pages, or at least announced when they would start, Verizon had stayed silent. The silence was broken today though, as it not only tweeted that the Galaxy S4 would soon make its debut, but added the picture you see above to whet our appetite.
The tweet says simply, "Samsung Galaxy S4 for Verizon Wireless 4G LTE coming in May. More details soon." A May release date is similar to most of Verizon's competition, however if a previous rumor turns out to be accurate, it's going to be at the tail end of the month. A memo said to originate from Staples put the Verizon Galaxy S4's arrival on May 30, which would see it lag behind AT&T by around a month.
As for Verizon's picture of the Galaxy S4, it shows a White Frost model with Verizon 4G LTE branding on the rear, and no alterations to the front panel. One shouldn't expect an eight-core surprise to be hiding inside Verizon's S4, as like the rest of the U.S. and much of Europe, the phone will be powered by a 1.9GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor. Otherwise, the spec is the same, meaning it'll have a 5-inch, 1080p Super AMOLED screen, a 13-megapixel camera, Android 4.2.2, and more special software features than ever before.
There's no indication on how much Verizon will charge for its Galaxy S4, but $200 with a two-year contract seems to be the usual, although T-Mobile is bucking the trend by offering the S4 at a far more reasonable $150 up front, with 24 monthly payments of $20, all under its new simpler tariff option. Now all we can do is wait for the final details to come through from Verizon, which should be soon.

Broken Glass Studios is proud to announce the first public beta release of The Dark Mod, a medieval steampunk stealth game inspired by the Thief series.
The Dark Mod team started work on the project in September of 2004. Their goal was to take id Software's Doom 3 (id Tech 4) engine and completely transform the sci-fi / horror shooter into a medieval, steampunk, stealth experience.
With the release of The Dark Mod: Beta 1.00, we are offering the modding community a powerful, easy-to-use editing suite for creating stealth missions. All the assets and resources necessary to build playable missions are included, plus a customized editor called DarkRadiant. A branch of GTKRadiant, DarkRadiant has been designed specifically to cater to the needs of Dark Mod mapping.
In addition to the editing tools, the release also includes four playable missions (including a Training Mission) to help demonstrate the full potential of the mapping kit.
The Dark Mod is in a beta release stage at this time, which means that some minor bugs and incomplete features are to be expected.
To see screenshots, or to download The Dark Mod, please visit http://www.thedarkmod.com/ . Or visit our forums at http://www.modetwo.net/darkmod/ .
We hope you enjoy it!
Just when I started to think the countdown was a trick.
EDIT: Feels like the download speed gets slower and slower...

Take a bow, you maniacs!
Hahah. I still have so much FMs to play. But if time comes, I'll give this thing a shot.
Thank You Thank you Thank You
Oh my.
I have Doom3 on my big PC that I never connect to the net for sec reasons.
Internet is handled by a weak atom driven linux surfbox.
So I cannot download with your TDM updater - I would prefer some kind of a more usual
While I understand your updater is in place to handle the first storm of traffic, I would like to ask if there may be a more direct/usual way of download in a couple of days ?
On one hand, this sounds exciting. On the other hand, I have no idea what to do with it. Is there anything for me to play? Or can I only try to make my own missions? Does it come with a tutorial? Sample missions?
Another updater mirror:
Bloody hell!
Amazing, well done all!
Wish my computer was good enough to run Doom 3 properly. Or even Thief 3 properly, the game I bought this thing to play.
Maybe I should try Doom 3 again. Just because it didn't work properly on my computer five years ago doesn't mean it won't work now, does it!
Damn, I get is this when I run the updater
EDIT: Okay, seems to be working now, I just had to clean up the TEMP folder a bit.
Anyone has a list of the files and their sizes? Just so I know what to expect. I'm currently at the tdm_models2.pk4 and it's taking ages to download. Any other large file like that?
Excellent! Getting it down now.
Time for you to sit back and for us to enjoy.
(Got to be next weekend to download though,
My brand new satellite broadband running of truck batteries and inverters way too slooowwww.)
Eh... the Dark Mod released? WoW...
Now some negative comments. The updater is AWFUL!!! It's slow, slow, slow, slow... Insead of giving us a gigabyte chunk, we have this... what about redistribution then?
Is the Dark Mod really free
1.4 GB? My God... And still downloading with this updater instead of going through the T2X way...

It's Super Hero Prom and the Sinister Six in two big issues of the comic iFanboy named the "Best New Book of 2010"! First the Academy hosts a dance like none you've ever seen, guest starring the Young Allies, former members of the Initiative...and featuring smack downs and smooch downs! Then the trainees get a crash course in big-time villainy as they take on Spider-Man's greatest foes, the Sinister Six, in a story that will have major ramifications when FEAR ITSELF hits next month!
SilverPhoenix has next week's pick.
If you would like to join the group, it's easy. Just post a review and I'll add you to the member's list. As long as you stay active, eventually it will be your turn to make a pick.
With $4 comics becoming the norm, the economy being what it is and the growing popularity of mail order services the Review Group recognizes that it's becoming harder and harder to commit to participating each and every week. As long as you can post one review per calendar month you will stay in the member's list. It doesn't matter if you post your review the week of it's release or if you post it later. There is no such thing as a "late" review.
The only request I make is that if you don't plan on posting a review or if you're going to be posting late is that you drop a note in the thread so that I can keep track of who is active and who isn't. The Spreadsheet of Doom is thorough, but it can't read your mind.
Comics are to be scored on a scale from 1-10. 1 being suck, 10 being a damn good comic. Beyond that, there's no right or wrong.
If it's your week, you must announce your selection by 5pm EST the day Diamond releases it's shipping list. If you do not announce your pick at that time, I will add a poll to the thread that will remain open until 12pm EST so that the group can make the selection for that week. (If you're seriously MIA, I'll probably put the poll up sooner) To ensure that you know it's your week, I will PM you when Midtown's list goes live on Thursdays. Also you'd better keep in mind the Amber Atoms rule, if your pick isn't reviewed by 2 or more people you will be exiled from the Group for 1 year. Our definition of a single issue comic is limited to comics listed at $3.99 or lower, anything above that is off limits. Also, to prevent utter filth being chosen deliberately, the Weird Worlds Rule has also gone into affect. Any book scoring a new all-time low (2.12 as of today) will not count as a miss if people wisely choose not to purchase it. Any poor soul who did review the book will earn a free pass on a book of their choice.

by Zero » Wed May 04, 2011 12:58 pmThis was a pretty good comic, reminded me of some of the better issues of The Initiative. Although I am thoroughly sick of Pym and Tigra without even reading a book they've been in since Siege.
by Eric Ratcliffe » Wed May 04, 2011 1:10 pmI love this book, by a lot. Chris is one of the best writers at Marvel and dare I say, in comics.
by Zero » Wed May 04, 2011 1:11 pmI'm talking about the Scientist Supreme who loves building evil robots and moping about what a loser he is. Clearly you're thinking of the Marvel Universe's hard rockin' Sonny Bono substitute who is not the Pym I've seen lately.

Much like Jeff Parker two weeks ago, he excels at being unspectacular IMO.
by SilverPhoenix » Wed May 04, 2011 9:07 pmThis was good. Really good. Christos may not innudate you with awesome moments, but damn does he know how to tell a story. I was smiling from beginning to end with this comic. Best Avengers book on the market, bar none.
by GLX » Wed May 04, 2011 9:14 pmI'll be reviewing this when the issue is collected in trade. Also, I just have to say that this series is tighter than Bendis' Avengers titles.

Finally a fun comic book that doesn't suck.
Great character moments, great art, great book.
by SilverPhoenix » Wed May 04, 2011 10:25 pmhttp://www.comicbookresources.com/?page ... ew&id=3462 - I'm going to leave this here. I MIGHT address this sucker in my review.
by Garofani Spruzzo » Wed May 04, 2011 10:29 pmYeah that would pretty much be my review too.

This title is imo, the best non cosmic Marvel book there is right now, but you'd be hard pressed to see why with this issue.
Gage has been a breath of fresh air at Marvel for me, he has great characterization, understands that continuity is not a curse and actually writes stuff that takes more than 5 minutes to read. He's done some great work making me care about the characters in this series. But everything here was just so, so... unGage like.
As for the story, there's a dance and the Academy invites some other teen guests. That I've never heard of most of the visitors is okay, but nothing in this book makes me want to discover who any of the are.
Of course with any gathering of teens there's going to be drama...
Reptil still dealing with his 'older' self in what I thought was a potentially great storyline. Sadly, Gage must not have thought so as he abruptly ends it with a bat of a pretty girl's eyelash.
Mettle & Hazmat - what started last issue continues to blossom in this one, but (like the other review mentioned) in the most silly sit-com way possible.
Striker & Veil - Is it romance, don't know, hope not because Striker's a dick that I have feigning interest
Finesse - Gag me! All the potential she had in the first few issues has been squandered lately. She's the most unlikeable character I can think of right now.
Justice & Firestar - I'm old school, so of course I prefer them as a couple, but barring that, once we get past the generic "Sleeping with" over-reaction, their talk is probably the highlight of the issue.
Hank & Tigra. Love Hank and glad to see him moving on. Tigra though? In just 5 pages she goes from 'don't even think about kissing me' to 'meet me in my room in 5'. I mean, she's always been easy, but c'mon Gage - make Hank work for it at least. And does she actually think no one is going to suspect anything when the only two adults in the room leave? She must have forgotten her sermon on chaperoning from page 1.
Speedball - NO drama for him at all here. He actually just seemed happy. BOUT FUCKING TIME! So glad to see that Penance shit is over with and we have the real Robbie back!
Anyway, by the end of the issue all the kids are having fun. There's nothing wrong with this. I should add that Marvel books these last 5+ years have had an enormous lack of 'fun', so any scene like this is welcome. But did they have to do it with a scene lifted straight from the 'Brady Bunch too much soap in the washing machine' bit?
The art is okay, not the best I've seen Chen do. I was never convinced his 30 year old Reptil was anything more than a 16 year old Reptil (just with a fuzzy chin). His action scenes were iffy too. I was puzzled how Firestar was able to throw Justice for instance.
All in all, this is still one of the better books on the shelf. I'm confident this is just a one-off misfire.

But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up,
that I may show My power in you, and that My

Four Important
Things To KNOW:
1) For ALL (Americans, Muslims, Jews,
Catholics, Hindus, Buddhist, Asians,
Presbyterians, Europeans, Baptist,
Brazilians, Mormons, Methodist,
French, etc.) have sinned & fall
short of the glory of God.
2) For the wages of above (see #1)
are DEATH (Hell, eternal separation
from God, & damnation) but the Gift
(free & at no charge to you) of God
(Creator, Jehovah, & Trinity) is
Eternal Life (Heaven) through
(in union with) Jesus Christ
(God, Lord, 2nd Person of the
Trinity, Messiah, Prince of
Peace & Savior of the World).
3) For God so greatly loved & dearly
prized the world (Americans, Muslims,
Jews, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhist,
Asians, Presbyterians, Europeans,
Baptist, Brazilians, Mormons,
Methodist, French, etc.) that
He even gave up His only begotten
(unique) Son, that whosoever (anyone,
anywhere, anytime - while still living)
believes (trust in, relies on, clings to,
depends completely on) Him shall
have eternal (everlasting) life (heaven).
4) Jesus said: "I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH,
& THE LIFE. No one (male/female - American,
Muslim, Jew, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist,
Asian, Presbyterian, European, Baptist,
Brazilian, Mormons, Methodist, French,
etc. ) comes (arrives) to the Father (with
GOD in Heaven) EXCEPT BY (through)
ME (no other name).
This wonderful loving GOD gives you the choice - - -
(Rev. 3:20)
{Please note that church membership,
baptism, doing good things, etc. are not
requirements for becoming a Christian -
however they are great afterwards!!!}
Jesus said, "Wide is the gate and broad
is the road that leads to destruction
(Hell, damnation, eternal punishment),
and many enter through it. But small
is the gate and narrow the road that
leads to life (Heaven, eternal happiness,
forever with God), and only a few find it.

I am the artist who ordered these items. I was disappointed with the fleece blankets. The image printed crooked on 4 of the 5 blankets and the 'plush fleece' is very different from the plush fleece blankets I ordered previously. No where near as 'plush'. These blankets were unsellable. Also, one of the tapestries showed up with a thread that was pressed right into the fabric which made it unsellable as well. The reason I didn't ship these items back was due to the fact that by the time I received the order, there was insufficient time to return the order in time to meet the '30 day' from the date ordered deadline. This is the first time I've been disappointed with an order featuring my art by way of FAA. Sadly, it makes me hesitant to order again.

Miki, a long short story... Miki is a professional French artist, born in the Pyrenees, Her works have been sold and published worldwide. Her painting is a reflection of her life: a permanent oscillation between light and shadow, lines and shapes, times and places, always looking for that equilibrium which she can only find in continuous movement, in the mysterious and the unknown. A life divided between two passions: mathematics and painting. The first as a supreme form of abstract art ruling her universe... The second as a way of cementing the beauty of that art.

These may be stand-alone or action steps in the accomplishment of more long-term goals. You will have specific goals, action steps for accomplishing those goals, combined with the intense desire, the will to learn whatever it takes, and the determination to do whatever is necessary (in alignment with your highest values) to make those goals a reality. People who have such a plan have always been measurably more successful than those who did not have these advantages.

Inxile wants Hunted to feature the intensity and action of a modern-day shooter, and it's created a fantasy world to pull it off. One thing is for certain: you'll never lack for bad guys to kill in Kala Moor.
Hunted: The Demon's Forge is being developed for Windows PCs, the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The game is set to ship sometime in 2011.
Sharkey says: It seems like Hunted is flying under the radar. The game is being built by Bethesda and Brian Fargo, the founder of Interplay who had a hand in creating such landmark games/franchises as Bard's Tale, Descent, Fallout, and Baldur's Gate. In other words, this is one game that should definitely be on your watch list.

The 39 Steps
by Buchan, John
Written in 1915, this book served as the basis for Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 classic film. It's been said that the film was 80% Hitchcock and 20% Buchan. Too bad, because the book as written stands up at least as well as the film 100 years on! A classic man-on-the-run thriller, the hero, Richard Hannay, dodges the police and foreign spies on his way to save the life of the Greek premier. But, that's not the most of his worries. Escapes from London, the Scottish heath, a foreign agent's bomb factory and a master of disguise (or worse – remember, it was written in 1915) make this as much a page turner as it was for the readers of Blackwood's Magazine. The 39 Steps is also available as a downloadable e-book, a downloadable audiobook, and a dramatized version on on CD. Of course, the Library also owns DVDs of Hitchcock's version.

The Gospel According to the Son
by Mailer, Norman
I first read Norman Mailer's The Gospel According to the Son several years ago. I have read it a couple of times since then. The book centers on the four gospels, Mark Matthew, Luke and John. Mailer explores and envisions the gospel as told by the messiah himself in the first person. Mailer's use of fact and fiction to explore the inner conflicts of the Son of God makes for a very entertaining and thought-provoking read.
I found this book to be very entertaining. Although it's a mix of fact and fiction, it's fun to see how the story is told from Jesus' point of view. A must read.
The Gospel According to the Son is also available as a downloadable e-book.

Slaying the Debt Dragon: How One Family Conquered Their Money Monster and Found an Inspired Happily Ever After
by Lowe, Cherie
Cherie Lowe's book starts with the birth and growth of the family's "debt dragon." They lived from paycheck to paycheck and spent without an economic plan. When the brakes went out, they charged the repairs. When someone was ill, they charged the medical costs. Too exhausted to cook, they charged take-out meals. After a few years, even without buying jewelry, vacations or other luxuries, they owed more than $127,000 in credit card and student loan debt.
Cherie then discusses how they realized the dragon hovered around their world, challenging their security. What did Cherie and her husband do to slay the dragon? The remainder of the book describes the process. They prayed, discussed, simplified their life, budgeted and aggressively paid off bills. In short, they changed their behavior.
Cherie divides the book into easily read chapters on topics such as budgets, grocery store strategies and back to school strategies. Her witty conversational style enlivens the topic. Each chapter closes with a list of doable debt slaying strategies. She includes other simple charts such as grocery store ten commandments and instructions on couponing. The personal stories make the reader feel like Cherie is talking directly to her friend, the reader. Read her blog and get new tips at www.queenoffree.net.
Slaying the Debt Dragon is also available as a downloadable e-book.

In the Sea There are Crocodiles: Based on the True Story of Enaiatollah Akbari. A Novel
by Geda, Fabio; translated by Howard Curtis
Enaiat woke up, and his mother was gone. He remembered the night before when she put him to bed; she held him tight against her chest and made him to promise three things in life: never use drugs, never use weapons, never cheat or steal. Here began Enaiatollah's long journey through unfamiliar worlds and he was ten.
This is not a book of fancy words or literary acrobats but a story of humanity in its simplicity. Reading Enaiatollah's story was like sitting with him and listened to his story - how he was pushed to take the long journey of his life from his hometown Nava, Afghanistan to Pakistan to Iran to Turkey to Greece to Italy; the people he met and his survival of unimaginable hardships in the journey. Reading Enaiatollah's story is like living through his adventures, his fears and his dreams. It humbles you and makes you a better human being.

Treasury of Joy and Inspiration: 90 Years of Uplifting Storytelling
by Editors of Reader's Digest
If you need a break from the tedium and discouragement of the world, pick up this lovely book and just start reading. Instead of ploughing straight through, why not try reading a story from each of the different sections. Your sense of wonder and of goodness in the world will be miraculously restored.
When the Franklin Road book discussion group read this title last fall, each participant picked out their favorite story, the story which had meant the most to them. There were some group favorites, but in the end, no one else picked my favorite: "Information, Please" by Paul Villiard:
As a small child growing up in the Pacific Northwest, Paul watched his mother call "Information, Please" for all sorts of questions on the large old-fashioned box telephone fastened to the wall on the stair landing in their home. One day when he was home alone, little Paul hit his finger with a hammer, and not knowing what else to do, he thought of calling "Information, Please." The kind operator consoled him and told him to go the ice box and get an ice chip to hold on his finger.
After that, Paul called "Information, Please" every time he had a problem: when he needed to know where the Orinoco River was, when he needed help with his arithmetic, when he needed to know what to feed the pet chipmunk he had just caught in the park. And "Information, Please" came through with the right answer every time.
But one day, his pet canary died, and nothing "Information, Please" said could console him – until at last she told him quietly, " Paul, always remember that there are other worlds to sing in."
When Paul was nine, the family moved across the country to Boston, but the memories of those childhood conversations never left him. Years later, on his way west to college, on a layover in the Seattle airport, he tried calling his old hometown operator once again. Miraculously, the same voice answered. He inquired about how to spell the word "fix," and he told her how much their conversations had meant to him. "I wonder," she replied, if you know how much you meant to me. I never had any children, and I used to look forward to your calls." Her name was Sally.
After his first semester was over three months later, he stopped at the same airport and called Sally again. Only this time a strange voice answered, and when he asked for Sally, he was told that she had been ill for some time and had died about five weeks ago. But then the new operator caught his name. Sally had left him a message: "Tell him I still say there are other worlds to sing in. He'll know what I mean."

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
Lost In Society - "Not Afraid"
Artist Bio:
Jolting, fierce and raw: Lost In Society's live show has been described as all of the above. The NJ-based alternative punk act has been covering some serious ground in the past few years, from their stint on Vans Warped Tour in the summer of 2012 and their official spot on CMJ Music Marathon to their career-breaking performances with acts such as The Bouncing Souls, Off With Their Heads, The Flatliners, The Pietasters and Teenage Bottlerocket, among others.
The fiery trio hit the studio with Pete Steinkopf of the Bouncing Souls in the spring of 2011 to record an EP that was released on Altercation Records as a split album with indie rockers American Pinup. Wasting no time at all, LIS hit the studio with producer Jon Leidersdorf at Lakehouse Studios in early 2012. A follow up full length titled Let It Sail was released in June of that year. The album received attention all over the world, and rave reviews poured in from outlets such as Alternative Press, AMP Magazine and The Aquarian Weekly. That year the group also took home the award for Top Punk Band in the Asbury Music Awards, based in their hometown of Asbury Park.
Pounding the pavement with their dedicated DIY approach has taken the punk rock trio out to SXSW and back both in March 2012 and 2013. Their electrifying live shows and one-of-a-kind contagious sound have given the group a reputation that parallels punk acts such as Rise Against and Greenday early in their careers. Their steadfast approach to touring, recording and promotion has made Lost In Society one of most viable alternative punk bands today.
"This is three-piece music that doesn't hide behind layers of bullshit fuzz or keyboard droning distractions as they pound the crowd with song after clever song ranging in subject from possible firearms possession to love molested chemistry experiments." -John Pfeiffer of the Aquarian Weekly.
About The Video:
This video started as an idea from drummer Hector Bonora. Hector took the idea to Craig Michaud, who was an animation major at Seton Hall University, and they both started working on it. After bringing the idea to the band, the whole group plus friends came up with the family story line and the rest is history. This video is suppose to make fun of all cheesy pop culture celebrities who people idolize but shouldn't at all. Hope you guys like it!

About the Vermont Gas pipeline and the dreaded "F" word — fracking:
1. Fracking
Widely criticized "fracking" to increase oil and gas production is used worldwide. Its use in the U.S. has allowed our domestic production of oil to increase to where it accounts for about 50 percent of our needs.

Two of the featured documentary films focus on the impacts that gas fracking has had on the water and environmental landscape. The last film focuses on the evidence of climate change through rapid glacial ice melt. Plans are also under way to offer additional educational opportunities early next year with an emphasis on practical energy saving alternatives.
I write to us all from Elsipogtog First Nation in New Brunswick, Canada. For the past three years, a coalition of First Nations people, French Acadians, and Anglophones have been working together to keep SWN, a hydraulic fracturing company, from polluting the water and land here in the search for gas and profits.
The science behind the fracking of natural gas is evolving as rapidly as the process, which began in its current manifestation in the late 1990s, and clearly poses worrisome long-term issues.
