AutoSwitch is a mod that automatically switches to the correct tool when mining a block and automatically uses the correct weapon when attacking a mob or a player. It will also switch back to your previous item when you are done mining or attacking a mob, useful for building and going on mining trips.
AutoSwitch won't just pick the fastest tool, it also takes into account other factors such as enchantments.
You can turn AutoSwitch off and on using the F10 key. If you don't like F10, you can change it to something else in the options window.

This shows what the enchantment table will give you BEFORE you click on the enchantment, so you don't find yourself in the situation where you've wasted 30 levels on nothing but Unbreaking III. Just move your mouse over the enchantment box and a little box will pop up telling you what item you will get if you click it.
Note that EnchantView requires a server mod in order for it to work in multiplayer. Servers without EnchantView won't kick clients that have it, EnchantView clients will just disable EnchantView on non-EnchantView servers. See the FAQs for the reason for this.

Installation Instructions
MobAura creates an aura around you so mobs within 6 blocks of you are repeatedly attacked by your current item until they die. It attacks hostile mobs, farm animals, and ghast fireballs, but you can turn on the ability to attack water animals, tameable mobs (such as wolves or ocelots/cats), villagers, and other living creatures (such as golems or the ender dragon). You can also turn off the ability to attack the ones that are on by default. MobAura will not attack players, vehicles (such as minecarts or boats), or any players' pets (yours or someone elses). MobAura is not intended for PVP.
MobAura will attack multiple mobs at the same time, but be careful on NoCheat servers with Auto-Ban. Note that MobAura has a nocheat-safe mode, which prevents attacking two mobs at the same time. This means it is less likely to be detected, not impossible to be detected.
Hit K to turn it on. If K is for something else that you've installed, change the key in the options window.
MobAura can also do the right-click option on mobs instead of the left click option. Use L to toggle whether to use the left-click or right-click option. If you don't like L, you can change it to something else.

Redistribute Permissions
Reposting any one of these mods is forbidden outside a mod pack.
Mod Packs
Note: You can always use my mods in a private mod pack that isn't published.
You may use my mod in a published mod pack, without even asking me, as long as you follow these restrictions:
- You must provide a link to this post on your modpack download page (so people can read the FAQs and such).
- You don't use adf.ly or other moneymakers with my packs. I'm fine with others repackaging my mods, but I'm not fine with others profiting from my work.
- Don't provide a direct link to my mod download, even if it's to my adfly. (it's ok to put the mod directly in your pack download). I say this because then users won't know where to look for the FAQs except by googling the mod name.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Minecraft crashes.
- Make sure you're using the latest version of the mods AND the latest version of ThebombzenAPI. I don't support old versions because I don't always log every bug I fix, and I don't want to spend time debugging the problem if it's already fixed.
- Search your crash log for the text "NoClassDefFoundError: ThebombzenAPIBaseMod". If that text is there, then you either didn't install ThebombzenAPI or installed it improperly. In that case, download it from this thread (shortcut link) and install it, then try again.
- If you didn't get that message, then please send me a link to the crash report on http://pastebin.com. I can't help you unless I know why it crashed.
Q: I don't see how to open the options window.
A: Do Shift+B while in game.
Q: Can you update the mod?
A: I will, I'm just busy with other stuff. Pestering me won't make it go faster.
Q: Can I use your mod in a mod pack?
A: Yes, as long as you follow the Redistribute Permissions.
Q: Does AutoSwitch require Minecraft Forge?
A: It required it from version 2.5.0 to 3.0.4. From 4.0.0 onwards (this includes the latest version) it only needs ModLoader.
Q: How can I make it use the worst tool that still can harvest the block?
A: Open the options window and set the Tool Selection Mode to SLOW STANDARD.
Q: How can I make it use a sword and other nonstandard tools?
A: Open the options window and set the Tool Selection Mode to FAST NONSTANDARD.
Q: AutoSwitch doesn't switch back.
A: AutoSwitch won't switch back if it's installed in more than one place (i.e. jar AND mods folder or launcher and mods folder). Make sure it's only installed in one place.
Q: AutoSwitch is using the wrong tool.
A: Tell me what tool it's using on what block, and what it should be using. Then, send me an AutoSwitch debug report. Do this by enabling debug in the options window. Then, trigger the glitch (preferrably in creative mode, set "use in creative" to ON). Then send me the file .minecraft -> mods -> AutoSwitch -> DEBUG.txt by putting it on http://pastebin.com/. Remember to disable debug when you're done cause it makes minecraft slightly slower.
Q: EnchantView doesn't show the enchantments.
A: If you're in multiplayer, that's because the server probably doesn't have the server-side mod. If it does, or you're in singleplayer, then this is probably a bug. Tell me whether you can actually enchant an item, or whether clicking the box does nothing. Also, tell me what your setup is (ModLoader or Forge? OptiFine?) Try to uninstall as many mods as possible so I know it's not an incompatibility with those.
Q: Can you make EnchantView work in Multiplayer without a server-side mod/plugin?
A: I actually can't. (Believe me, I tried). The server doesn't decide what enchantments to give you until it's actually enchanting the item, so the only way to get a sneak peek is to mod the server to give it.
Q: MobAura won't attack wolves or players.
A: MobAura's not intened for cheating (at least on that level). Note that MobAura can attack wolves, just not tamed wolves (either yours or another players'). Same with cats.
Q: Can you add this tweak?
A: Maybe. If you suggest a tweak, and I like it, it will either get added immediately or the next time I naturally update WAGT (to fix a bug or for a minecraft update). If I don't like it, don't be offended, because if you didn't suggest it we'd be in the same position anyway. So suggest away!
Q: Why's it called WorldAndGenerationTweaks?
A: WAGT used to have several tweaks which related to the world (256 height limit, no rain, etc.). Now, all the tweaks relate somehow to terrain generation, but the name stuck. Note that WAGT doesn't have the word "Terrain" in its name, despite many misnomers.

Time Out says
Fri Dec 7 2012
'A ghost is an emotion bent out of shape, condemned to repeat itself time and time again, until the wrong is righted.' So says a grey-haired archivist in Argentinian filmmaker Andrés Muschietti's over-egged English-language supernatural chiller. These words also fit perfectly with executive producer Guillermo del Toro's view that the best ghost stories are suffused with melancholy. Sadly, particularly in the overwrought climactic scenes, the film's tear-jerking conflict between distorted and nascent maternal love is drowned out by a surfeit of flashy visual effects.
Developed from his own three-minute short film, Muschietti's first feature lumbers tattooed rock chick Annabel (Jessica Chastain) and her artist boyfriend with two feral children, abandoned in the woods and left to run wild when his brother committed suicide five years before. Neither is good parent material, but with the help of a kindly shrink, and despite an interfering aunt, the couple struggle to care for the partly socialised Victoria and her wilder younger sister, Lilly. Yet as the reluctant Annabel slowly discovers her own maternal instincts, she realises she is in competition with Mama (Javier Botet), a jealous spectral presence with its own primal need to protect the children.
The bony, angular Botet – familiar from the final scenes of '[Rec]' – invests 'Mama' with an air of fierce, floating menace, suffused with a deep underlying sadness. However, in stark contrast to Chastain's credible, affecting transformation from selfish musician to loving mother, the secondary characters and sub-plots are sketchily drawn. The ambiguous shrink's archival rummagings and hypnotherapy sessions with Victoria merely fill in Mama's back story; the aunt's threats to involve social services come to nothing. Also, by splitting the action between several different characters and locations, the plot dissipates the suspense and lacks focus, as if it has been bolted together from disparate, ill-fitting pieces.

In regards to the production they are putting on the raise money Green says, "We figured with Wizard Of Oz, it's such an iconic story, everybody knows it, that you can take some liberties with it, so we are setting it up with a western theme to kind of go along with The Legacy Complex."

US tech jobs grow (a bit)
Well, up beats down
Posted in Management, 12th August 2009 01:01 GMT
Watch Now : Virtual Machine Movement with Hyper-V
Buried deep in the latest US Bureau of Labor Statistics employment report is a startling statistic: Employment in the computer industry is on the rise.
In its Economic News Release for July 2009, the Bureau's head-counters revealed that during July 2009, seasonally adjusted employment in "Computer systems design and related services" rose by 7,900 to 1,464,300.
This during a month in which the US non-farm payroll as a whole sunk by 247,000.
Raw numbers - that is, ones not adjusted for regular seasonal variations - were even more favorable, with a rise of 12,900 jobs in the category.
The job growth is even more striking considering that seasonally adjusted jobs sank in the computer systems category by 3,400 in May and 600 in June. The July 2009 numbers were also up from those of July 2008 by 8,100 jobs.
If you lean to the latter half of the "half-empty or half-full?" spectrum, news in the "Data processing, hosting and related services" category could also be considered encouraging, though less so.
Jobs in that category, seasonally adjusted, sank by a mere 400 in July - but they're still down by 6,800 when compared with the same period last year.
Commenting (PDF) on the job stats, IT-workforce analyst David Foote said, "Do IT professionals have something to cheer about? Sure, in the short term," adding that "There has been a vibrancy in the job market throughout this recession driven by employers search for IT workers with the right skills and experience for the job. If anything, I expect this to intensify in the next several months."
That would indeed be good news, seeing as how a total of 6.7 million US jobs have fallen into the hole created by the cratering economy since December of 2007.
A gain of 7,900 jobs may be just a drop in that deep, deep bucket, but we like the trend line.
Better up than down. ®
Watch Now : Virtual Machine Movement with Hyper-V
Not too surprising
Different sectors are impacted differently. You can hire burger-flippers and salesfolk when you need them. Building company infrastructure and doing product R & D has a longer lead time so you need to hire up the IT etc staff now. As business confidence builds, companies want to rebuild ready for mainstream improvements that might still be quite a few months away.
Any company sitting on a cash mountain would have seen the recession as a great opportunity to keep up R&D spending and improving their position while their competitors had to cut staff and fall behind.

How can i make a login and register program in c++?
any good compiler will do.
Code:int main(void){srand(time(0));for(double l=rand(),l0=0,l00=0;;l0+=0.1){for(double l000=0;l000 <1;l000+=.001,l+=((double)rand()/RAND_MAX)/0x64,l00+=((sin(l*0x8*atan(l0)*l000-(l0*0x8*atan (l)))*0.5)+0.5)){l00-=floor(l00);for(size_t l0000=0,l00000=(size_t)(0x50*(l00));l0000<l00000;++l0000 )putchar(0x20);putchar(0x61+(int)((double)rand()/RAND_MAX*0x1a));putchar('\n');}}return 0;}
I know...But where can i learn how to do it.
Well if you are talking about online registration then you probably would need to learn some sockets programming.
No,im talking about a client login that login from a txt file.
No need for socket.
Just something to register and login.Without having a server but just by a text file and the client.
Ah. That is way more simple. You would need to do research on File I/O.

Hurricane Sandy Relief Efforts
New - here is an article in the Staten Island Advance pn June 1, 2013 about work being done http://www.silive.com/worship/2013/06/staten_island_volunteer_effort.html
Hurricane Sandy affected many Unitarian Universalists in our region. A few UU Congregations experienced direct damage, including the UU Congregation of Greater Canton, OH, which had its roof tear partly off in the winds. A number of other congregations in the hardest hit areas near the coast lost power for days. Others opened their doors to become re-charging and warming-up centers for those waiting for the power crews to repair the extensive damage. Many UUs in New York and New Jersey personally lost or suffered damage to possessions, cars and homes. Hardest hit was CERG's Metro NY District. Andrea Lerner and the other district staff have been personally driving in with supplies to those in need as well as coordinating efforts with a Federal Emergency Management Agency Voluntary Agency Liaison.. UUWorld.org published a summary on November 2. Check for updates at the CERG Sandy Relief Facebook page.
CERG UU Disaster Relief Fund
The Central East Regional Group (CERG) has established the CERG UU Disaster Relief Fund to collect donations to assist fellow UU with storm damage clean up and members' immediate needs and in the rebuilding efforts. Funds will be used to provide the basics needed for UUs who have been displaced or in need of emergency support to cope with the aftermath of the storm, to assist congregations in rebuilding damage when their insurance is not adequate to cover the repairs, and to support congregations who are working in the lair larger communities. After all needs are met, if there are monies left over, the fund will be maintained for future CERG regional relief efforts. All contributions are to be sent to: CERG-UUA, 100 W 10th St Ste 1008, Wilmington DE 19801. Contributions can also be made online with PayPal.
To date, the fund has raised over $300,000 and we thank those of you who have donated to this effort.
Funds have already been distributed to congregations at Staten Island NY, Freeport NY, Hastings-on-Hudson NY, Lincroft NY, and Manhattan NY Fourth, and supplies have been distributed to Manhattan NY Fourth, Freeport NY, and Brooklyn NY First. Other UU-related organizations active in relief services are the UU Trauma Response Ministry and Disaster Chaplaincy Services.
Congregational Stories
Central Unitarian Church (Paramus NJ), the Unitarian Society of Ridgewood (NJ), and the UU Congregation of the Palisades (Englewood (NJ) have combined Sandy relief efforts in creating the Bergen UU Relief Group (BUURG), focusing time, talent, and treasure on families from Bergen County who have been directly effected by Sandy. BUURG hopes to partner with an adhoc non-profit focused on Moonachie and Little Ferry. A benefit fundraising concert has been scheduled for December 1, and volunteers will perform "feet on the street" activities.
The Unitarian Church of All Souls (Manhattan) collected nearly $10,000 and a truck full of donated goods for the hurricane Sandy relief effort. The goods were delivered to Staten Island and Red Hook, Brooklyn. The First Unitarian Congregational Society in Brooklyn (NY) collected more than $9000 for hurricane relief and delivered food and cleaning supplies to Staten Island and Red Hook, and the Fourth Universalist Society (Manhattan) delivered a truck full of supplies to the Unitarian Church of Staten Island (NY), one of the staging centers assisting with recovery efforts in the area. Wrote the Rev. Susan Karlson, minister at the Unitarian Church of Staten Island, "We are working with other area Unitarian Universalist congregations and many of our interfaith and community organization neighbors to serve many people on Staten Island so badly in need of care, and to help assist people from all over the country to get their donations to where they are needed most."

- First Unitarian Congregational Society in Brooklyn's Facebook Page where they are organizing assistance
- 4th Universalist Society in the City of New York has also been working to assist those in need
- Unitarian Church of Staten Island who coordinated supplies for the area.
The UU Congregation of Greater Canton suffered roof damage during the storm, which has resulted in water damage to the interior of the building including loss of electronics, classroom supplies, wall and ceiling damage and more. The estimate cost of repairs are as high as $30,000 and insurance will only cover a small portion of that cost. The current Chalice Lighter call that went out on November 3 is designated to benefit Canton's repair efforts as well as contribute to the CERG UU Disaster Relief Fund.

I actually had to think about this one. I thought it would be easy but it really wasn't.
Things I do when I am alone…
- Masturbate sixteen times a day. Just kidding. I don't think I have that in me. (Okay I do but…)
- I take pictures of myself. (This is part of the reason I started getting called a narcissist.)
- I shower alone. (Most of the time.)
- I write and write and write some more.
- I sing. (That is a gift to everyone around me.)
- I dance. (I don't dance in public.)
- I watch movies.
- I read other people's blogs.
- I go for walks or runs.
- I talk to my cat.
- I play video games.
- I spend way too much time on Facebook.
- I cry. (I find that sometimes too much time alone isn't a good thing and I hate crying in front of anyone.)
- I clean my place.
- I talk to myself… a lot.
- I google random facts. I lopve to look at Top Ten Lists of things. My brain is full of the most random knowledge. (And thank you to benzeknees for pointing out that I only had fifteen things on my list.)

Indian Premier League Coaches
Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) with its Indian premier league (IPL) has created waves in the cricket scenario. This Tewenty20 tournament is primarily a reaction to the recent ICL (Indian Cricket League) venture of the Essel Group. The Indian Premier Leagues has bagged supported from not only the cricket world but also from glam and business. Some of the big names associated with this league include Shahrukh Khan, Vijay Mallya, Anil Dhirubhai Ambani, Ness Wadia and Preity Zinta.
As far the names of the coaches for the Indian Premier League teams is concerned, there hasn't been any comprehensive information made available. There are clear-cut names that have emerged as yet about the choice of coaches that may train the member players of a specific Franchise team. But deciding upon appropriate coaches for the teams is definitely going to be a challenging task for the Franchise.
The ceiling for the budget that each of the Franchise can utilize for forming itself is set between $3-5 million. The corporate body has also offered assistance of Rs.100 million to CAB for organising appropriate facilities throughout the IPL matches.
There are a total of 8 Franchise teams that would be competing against each other. Each team is required to comprise of a minimum of four local players and a maximum of four foreign players. Amongst these, there are some pore-allocated players who would play for their respective state teams. These players are inclusive of Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, and Sourav Ganguly.

AGENT: Andrew Lownie
Thanks to Rafi O'Dwyer for webwork.
Dazzled and Deceived won the 2011 Warwick Prize for Writing. Peter Forbes discusses the book with the chair of the Warwick judges Michael Rosen.
Dazzled and Deceived tells the story of mimicry and camouflage in the natural world and how one thing got to look like another. Woven into the story is the work of naturalist who became convinced that nature's camouflage was the key to camouflage in human warfare. And then there are the artists who were fascinated by mimicry in nature and who also were drawn to camouflage in the wars.
"As Forbes shows in his remarkable book . . mimicry is not just 'a fantastical tale of visual punning in nature'."

IEDM: IBM to report 2-GHz graphene IC
Peter Clarke
LONDON – Researchers from IBM are due to report on the fabrication of a 2-GHz frequency doubler RF circuit in a CMOS-compatible manufacturing process technology at the upcoming International Electron Device Meeting, due to be held in Washington DC, Dec. 5 to 7.
Graphene, which is a honeycomb lattice of carbon atoms in a single-sheet, demonstrates not only an electric field effect but also ballistic electronic transport. The electron mobility of graphene is higher than that of silicon by at least a factor of 40. While the exceptional properties including high current density, mobility and saturation velocity make the material attractive for high performance circuits, working with carbon is difficult and is known to problematic when introduced into a wafer fab, and the state-of-the-art has been single devices and simple integrated circuits.
IBM's paper is set to move that on towards a maufacturable technology based on CMOS-compatible fabrication on 200-mm diameter wafers, according the abstract released by the organizers.
Because all the carbon chemical bonds are used within a perfect graphene sheet it has an inherently inert surface making the fabrication of a dielectric layer above it – to insulate the gate – difficult. IBM's approach has been to invert the usual manufacturing process and define gate structures first on silicon wafers and then transfer graphene layers fabricated using chemical vapor deposition to the silicon. After defining the areas of graphene IBM was able to attach source and drain contacts to the graphene to complete FET structures.
The frequency doubler integrates multiple field effect transistors and radio frequency passives and demonstrated a conversion gain of approximately -25db at an output frequency of 2-GHz, according to data released by the IEDM organizers.
Cross-sectional scanning electron microscope micrograph of the post-CMP wafer showing the inverted-T gate structure described in the paper.
The four images show: (a) an 8-inch graphene FET wafer; (b) single die; (c) SEM image of a typical fully processed device and (d) an enlarged view of the device showing the embedded gate structure with two-finger design. Except for the CVD graphene transfer, all processing was done in a conventional 200-mm wafer fab.

Ski Day May Scale Back Thanks to New Ordinance
By: Lindsay Merwin
Updated: October 16, 2012
Thousands of boaters have hit the water for Ski Day on the Ohio for more than 30 years.
But as we reported Monday night , Henderson officials want stricter regulations.
The new ordinance requires any organizer of a big event on private property to pay the county for any overtime deputies rack up while providing security.
But for a party as big as Ski Day, the number adds up...and Ski Day's organizer says that's money he just doesn't have.
Ski Day on the Ohio...a free party for grown ups that brings thousands to Newburgh Beach in Henderson County.
But the boats and the beer mean extra bucks to beef up security.
And even with the help of sponsors, it might be too much for one man to pay.
Longtime promoter Rick O'Daniel approached the Henderson County Fiscal Court with concerns that charging event organizers for deputies' overtime would sink Ski Day for good.
"If it's gonna cost me $5,000, I can't afford it," he says.
But the court voted unanimously to pass that ordinance...not before discussing the dilemma O'Daniel and Henderson County face: how to cover the cost of monitoring those who misbehave.
"They're mostly good people and a couple of bad apples that cause all this," O'Daniel says.
"We're seeing a small majority of the people engaging in activities that if it's not supervised, and it hasn't been, people are getting hurt," says Henderson County Sheriff Ed Brady.
Brady says that extra supervision by various agencies really adds up.
"What if we have ten people in the county that want to have an event like this and they expect us to put in the overtime for 24 to 36 hours ahead of time at $5,000 a lick? That's gonna put a burden on taxpayers,"
But even though Ski Day comes with a cost, neither side wants the party to end.
"I don't want to stop Ski Day," Brady says. "I think it's time to reel Ski Day in slightly."
"Hopefully they'll back me up and we'll all collectively find a way to make this happen, because when it's good, it's great," O'Daniel says.
It'll just take teamwork to keep the tradition afloat.
The new ordinance applies not just to Ski Day, but to all gatherings of 500 people or more.
Aside from insurance, the county says organizers must provide restrooms and clean-up.
They'll also have to go through the Henderson County Judge-Executive for emergency services.

Why are there so many more ticks now?
By Milton D. Carrero, OF THE MORNING CALL
June 21, 2011
Q: Why are there so many ticks right now? A: It is that time of the year when ticks emerge from the shadows of winter to claim attention. Pennsylvania and nearby Northeastern states are considered to be endemic for ticks, especially the blacklegged or deer tick. The lining up of these bugs around the limits of our yards is an expected yearly occurrence. Some years, however, the ticks are particularly evident. This is one such year. The reason: a very wet winter.

What plants can I grow under pine trees?
By Sue Kittek, Special to The Morning Call
April 20, 2012
Q: I have three large pine trees in front of my house emerging from pretty sizeable mulch beds. My beacon silver, hostas, periwinkle and hydrangea seem to be as happy as clams living in this area, and I've had them for a long time. I've got so much more space to fill in yet, and I need some serious help in choosing the right plants for the job. Over the years, I have tried (and killed) dozens of plants and shrubs in these planting beds and have all but given up. The lowest branches of my pine trees are above the first story of my home.
How to tell what type of hydrangea is in your garden
By Sue Kittek, Special to The Morning Call
February 22, 2013
A few columns ago I mentioned trimming or pruning hydrangea. Several readers wanted to know how to tell what kind of hydrangea they had and whether they should prune it now. There are few garden rules that are ever completely straightforward, but if your hydrangea bloom isn't white or pale green, it isn't Hydrangea paniculata or H. arborescens, the two most common types of hydrangeas that bloom on new wood and can be pruned in the late winter or...
Tick Protection
The Morning Call
August 23, 2005
Ticks carry diseases that can be transmitted to humans and animals. In this country alone there are more than 82 species of ticks that collectively can cause nine major diseases, says the American College of Emergency Physicians. The two most common are Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. To protect yourself from ticks: Wear light colors so it is easier to see ticks. Use insect repellent containing DEET, following label instructions. Wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts, shoes and socks.
How To Avoid Ticks
The Morning Call
June 4, 1996
Avoid tick-infested areas, especially in May, June and July. Wear light-colored clothing to spot ticks more easily. Cover up with hats, long-sleeved shirts and pants tucked into socks or boots. Spray insect repellant containing DEET on clothes, not skin. After being outdoors in tick habitats, inspect the body carefully, especially the scalp. Remove ticks immediately. Information: American Lyme Disease Foundation Inc., of Somers, N.Y., (800)
Take Precautions Against Ticks
The Morning Call
August 9, 1998
Here are some tips on protecting your dog and yourself against Lyme disease, adapted from the Anerican Veterinary Lyme Disease Society: Know the danger: Lyme-diease ticks can be present in yards and parks as well as woods. If you live in an area where infected ticks have been reported, take precautions when you go outdoors. Stick to paths and avoid tall grass or brush. Cut the brush where your dog plays, if possible. Dress the part: Use long sleeves, long pants, boots and socks when possible.
Beware Of Ticks, Lyme Disease
The Morning Call
August 25, 1999
To the Editor: Lyme disease is getting out of control in Schnecksville. There have been five cases. These people all live within a radius of two miles. The animals carrying the ticks come from the Game Preserve, mostly deer. They are looking for water and food. You can't tell if you have this disease until you get a blood test. It's scary. I hope rain comes soon. Meanwhile, the Game Preserve should be doing something, like providing water and food to keep the deer there. BETTY KUSHNER NORTH WHITEHALL TOWNSHIP
Montco Prepares For Deer Ticks
by LESLIE KLEIN FUNK, The Morning Call
April 7, 1993
Deer tick season opens in May, and Montgomery County health workers are getting ready to go hunting. The health department will again drag five county parks for ticks this year, including Upper Perkiomen Valley Park, said Carol Levin, director of the department's communicable disease control division. The ticks can carry Lyme disease, which may damage the heart, joints and nervous system if untreated. In 1992, 186 cases of Lyme disease were reported in the county, up from 150 in 1991 and 102 in 1990, Levin said.
Summer Horror Show: `Return Of The Tick'

July 22, 1994
They're no bigger than a pinpoint, but they can carry a debilitating disease and they've reappeared in Montgomery County parks this summer. The county health department has posted tick warnings in all five parks where it searches for deer ticks -- Upper Perkiomen Valley Park, Evansburg State Park, Valley Forge National Historic Park, Fort Washington State Park and Lorimer Park. Deer ticks, which can carry Lyme disease, have been discovered in the five parks, said Dr. Carol Levin, of the health department.
Construction spending ticks up strongly in October
By Michelle Jamrisko, Bloomberg News
December 3, 2012
Construction spending climbed almost three times more than forecast in October, reflecting broad- based gains that signal the industry is poised to make a bigger contribution to economic growth. The 1.4 percent rise was the biggest since May and followed a 0.5 percent advance in September, the Commerce Department reported today in Washington. The reading exceeded all 45 estimates in a Bloomberg survey of economists, in which the median projection was for a 0.5 percent increase. Home construction jumped to the highest level since November 2008.

July 1, 2013. It's just 276 days away. That's how much time public school teachers and administrators have to instill into all students the ability to read and do math. They have their work cut out for them since fewer Pennsylvania students met the 2011-12 testing targets, resulting in more schools being labeled as failures under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The law was passed in an unlikely alliance between Republican President George W. Bush and the late Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.
'Social realist' painter and activist Max Ginsburg reveals what makes him tick at Baum School
By Tim Higgins, Special to The Morning Call
September 15, 2012
It's a story of odd, if not fortuitous, coincidence. In early fall 2008, Max Ginsburg journeyed by bus with several friends from his home on Manhattan's West Side with the goal of getting the vote out for candidate Barack Obama in Allentown. That same day, Rudy Ackerman, director of the Baum School of Art in Allentown, happened to be at home. "I opened the door and there was this gentleman asking me to vote for Obama," says Ackerman. "We got to talking and I soon found out he was an artist from New York City.
Top 3 Concerts: Lucero and Deer Tick
April 18, 2012
Punk-country band Lucero has been an underappreciated gem for nearly 15 years and 10 albums. Its 2003 release "That Much Further West" even got it a spot on Rolling Stone magazine's Hot List. But there are indications the band has finally made it the hard way — through constant touring. In 2008, it signed a major-label deal, and 2009's disc "1372 Overton Park" hit No. 9 on Billboard's Heatseeker chart. The band played the Warped Tour last year (its set was one of the day's best)
Lyme disease Q&A: Keeping the ticks at bay
By Gary R. Blockus, Of The Morning Call
April 14, 2012
Cathy Gumlock, 67 of Palmer Township is a retired elementary school teacher and a founding member of the Lehigh Valley Lyme Support Group, which meets 7-9 p.m. the first Wednesday of every month at Country Meadows, Building 1, 4011 Green Pond Road, Bethlehem Township. Lyme disease-transmitting black-legged tick nymphs and adult ticks are expected to be at near all-time high levels this spring and summer in the Northeast. While most people would attribute the increase to the warm winter, the true reason lies in acorn production and animals that feed on acorns.
Don't Pick Up A Tick
by TOM FEGELY, The Morning Call
December 11, 1994
Unseasonable warmth for the past couple weeks and prospects for additional mild weather raise a caution flag for deer hunters afield for the next three days. Hunters from the Southeast and into areas as far north as Potter County have reported an abundance of ticks on deer, many also reporting increased incidence of the tiny parasites clinging to their clothes and skin. While ticks on deer is nothing new, the warm weather also makes it more likely the tiny beggars will remain active and work their ways onto hunters as they roam the woods.
Lyme Disease A Threat Where Deer Ticks Lurk
by LIZ and JEFF BALL
July 15, 1993
As the incidence of Lyme disease increases, homeowners are concerned about whether deer ticks, which carry the disease organism, are present in their yards. Deer are essential hosts to these ticks, so if there are no deer within five miles of your house, you are not likely to have to worry about the presence of these ticks on your property. If deer frequent your neighborhood, then there may be deer ticks in the area, some of which may be carrying the disease. Because they prefer weeds and brush that are at least 10 inches tall, deer ticks are less likely to lurk in yards where grass is mown regularly and weeds are trimmed.

Vintage ChartRating for United States-California: 91 (slightly better than average year)

Drinkability: young, aging quickly, could be good now

User Tasting Note
Fellow Drync'r"The 2006 Insignia (95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot; 16,000 cases produced) is a superb effort in this vintage. Another 30+ year wine, it boasts a dense plum/purple color as well as abundant notes of licorice, black currants, charcoal, black olives, and graphite. Full-bodied, pure and rich with moderately high tannins, it represents a California version of a Bordeaux from Pauillac or St. Julien. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2045. In case you think the aging curves I have described are unrealistically long, I have the Joseph Phelps regular Cabernets from the mid-seventies as well as the Insignias in my cellar, and those wines are still drinking beautifully at 30 years of age. Today's wines are better made."

Röyksopp – The Girl and the Robot
Posted: 30/05/2009 Filed under: Music | Tags: junior, Review, robyn, royksopp, The Girl and the Robot Leave a comment »For a short while it was looking as though Röyksopp may fall into that "band from that car/phone advert" category. One minute you're revelling in the success of having 30 seconds of your kooky tune played everywhere, the next, you're playing the daytime slot at a festival, watching the audience grow weary of your set, until you play that song…from that advert…with the balloons. Alas, Röyksopp have staved off post-ad obscurity with a glut of good tunage.

Giving Horror A Bad Name: 5 Bloody Good Alternatives To 'Texas Chainsaw 3D'
Fri, 04 Jan 2013 14:23:00 -0500
It gets harder every year to identify as a horror movie fan and still hold your head up in polite company. A big part of the problem is the persistence of rabid slasher films like Texas Chainsaw 3D, opening today in theaters nationwide. Now, I haven't seen Texas Chainsaw 3D, and it would be a disservice, naturally, to pre-judge the film.
And yet somehow I feel totally comfortable concluding that it's terrible.
The splatter porn genre is nothing if not predictable: There will be edged weapons and body trauma. There will be murder and cruelty played for kicks. And there will be bloodied women in sleeveless shirts. I don't know what the slasher film industry has against sleeves, but the tank top is apparently de rigueur.
The happy news is that you're free to ignore Texas Chainsaw 3D entirely. Good films are still being made in the genre we call the scary movie. Below are five recent quality horror films, all available now on DVD/Blu-ray or via digital download. Skip Chainsaw, rent one of these instead, save $40, and thank me later.
