Today's cover story isn't about the big issues of our day. It's not about a trend, a news event or a news maker.
Today we offer a slice-of-life story about a dying elderly woman and the unusual way she chose to honor her granddaughter. Through Milly Lally, we get a glimpse of how we live and how we die. It's a lovely story, compassionately told by writer Traci Angel.
Writers like Traci are the lifeblood of a news magazine. They find good tales and turn them into compelling, nuanced stories that show us who we are, where we live and how we work together to form a community.
We at The Star are looking for strong writers and even stronger reporters — journalists who can spot the telling detail, ask the right questions and turn fact-filled notes into a well-told narrative. If you're a writer and are interested in freelancing for 913, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Send me a resume and three published pieces of your work.

My first attempt:
|I like the way you can see the texture in this picture.
What you need:
Canvas of your choice
Crayola Crayons (the generic and cheapy ones don't melt as nice)
Splatter sheet
1" Black ribbon
Hot glue gun
I had to try this! Bring on a JoAnn's coupon and a clearance! I picked up a 16 X 20 canvas for a couple bucks. I had a new box of 64 count Crayola crayons in the cabinet! So far, cost was about $2.15 for the canvas. I used a red, plastic table cloth I picked up from the Dollar Store.
What to do:
1. Hot glue the Crayola Crayons to the top of the canvas. I tend to be a bit OCD, so I had to make sure that all of the "Crayola" was pointed up.
2. Set up your splatter area. I over did it, but really all you need is about a foot on all sides of the canvas.
3. Set your canvas on an angle on the splatter sheet. I put a shoe under the splatter sheet to keep my canvas secured at the same angle for the entire project.
4. Start warming your crayons. I used the high heat setting, but the low air speed. I didn't want my crayon to splatter, just drip.
5. The crayons will get all shiny right before they start to drip. I worked one section at a time.
|Getting shiny!
|Staring to drip!
6. One it starts dripping, you have a little control with the air direction. I wanted it to flow down, but also give my "art" some shape to it. You kinda have to "chase" the melting crayon down the page with the hairdryer to the approximate place you'd like it to stop.
7. Work across the canvas with the dyer.
8. Finish your work and let it cool completely.
9. I added a black, satin ribbon to the outside edge of the canvas to give it a more "finished and framed" look.
10. Hang on your wall. So cool!
Note to readers: It looks cooler IRL. Enjoy!
Some tips I learned: Use fewer darker blues and purples. They tend to turn a very dark, almost black color. Do not use browns or dark grays for the "rainbow" look.

An area of low pressure off of the coast continues to lift northeast this morning, and that will translate into more sunshine for Friday. A few clouds are expected to begin the morning, especially east. Then more sunshine works quickly back into the region. Temperatures moderate a little, reaching the upper 70s to lower 80s across the Lower Susquehanna Valley. A cold front out to our west slowly advances this way through the day. By the overnight period, some clouds start building back into the region. Low temperatures will not be nearly as chilly, but still nice and comfortable in the lower to middle 60s.
The cold front advances gradually enough to keep most of Saturday dry. However, as we get into the late afternoon and evening hours, a couple showers and thunderstorms cannot be ruled out. High temperatures Saturday reach the lower to middle 80s. More by way of rainfall is expected for Sunday with the cold front's passage. The rain could become heavy at times. The rain keeps highs cooled to near 80 degrees.
Once the cold front exits, sunshine returns Monday, but there are some clouds to contend with as well. High temperatures reach the lower 80s. Tuesday warms back to seasonable averages in the middle 80s. A mixture of sunshine and clouds is still expected. There are some questions hovering around the midweek forecast. We'll be watching the path of a disturbance. Depending on how low to our south it dips, some showers will be possible for the middle of the week. Should the path dip a bit more to the south, our region stays dry. Highs remain near seasonable averages.
Have a great weekend!

A Touch Of Glass: Star Wars
In honor of the recently released Episode 7, we present some of the coolest glass pieces to pay homage to the Force.
January is here, and so is Star Wars! Few movies can claim such a devoted fan base or plethora of merchandise. So in honor of the recently released Episode 7, I am here to present some of the coolest glass pieces to pay homage to the Force. Enjoy this touch of glass loaded with some Skywalker OG. If you can't find any, you must be looking in Alderaan places…
The first piece is my favorite character, the robot with a mouth so foul, they bleeped out every word he said, R2D2! The chest is clear, great for filling up with white smoke, and while this isn't an especially elaborate piece, neither was the robot. It has the little details that make it stand out as a great likeness. What I love about this dab rug, besides the interchangeable bowls, is that it is a reliable, go-to piece, great for travel.
The Deathstar
The epic of evil bases, the moon of doom, it's the Deathstar. I love the details of the fighters and even the Millennium Falcon flying around this piece! Plus having a planet destroying laser blasting sweet smoke into your lungs is a nice thought.
Check out the closeup of the Imperial Cruiser and the Millennium Falcon! Rebel fighter circle, looking for an opening. It's a great movie moment. This piece, as well as the R2D2, were made by… Wait for it… Empire Glass. Check out some of their pieces at DankStop.com.
Yoda, the wisest of the Jedi, meditating above an Imperial fighter. The swampy growth of his home planet is well captured. However, if you look on the back, inside the percolation chamber, Darth Vader awaits.
This ship is rocking too! I am a huge fan of mixed media pieces, especially glass pieces electroplated with copper. The details are off the charts, and the aging of the copper makes the bong that much more impressive. For bonus points, comment on this article and tell us where this ship was seen and the name of it. Fair warning, there are literally scores of flying ships in the entire saga.
Boba Fett
A serious threat, and an awesome fighter, with tricks for days, Boba Fett, genetically cloned "son" of Jango Fett, is a force to be reckoned with. His helmet is recognizable even to many who haven't seen the movies, and the detail on this masterful face piece is an homage worthy of his legacy.
Let's face it, we know those Storm Troopers are really, really bored.
"Oh yeah! Hit that thing like the side of a tree on the forest moon of Endor! "
Which of these awesome glass pieces is your favorite? Let us know on social media or in the comments section below.

If this year was the warm up, next season will be the true test of NBC Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt's command at the troubled network. Greenblatt and his key lieutenant, NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Nicholson Salke, have ordered a whopping seven new comedies and five dramas.
NBC's marketing department is going to be busy this fall. The network will rely on its Summer Olympics coverage to launch some of those new shows, and hopes to use the power of The Voice to launch others. "We've got a lot of bricks for the new house that we're building," says one insider. Here's a short Q&A with Greenblatt about his plans for next year.
TV Guide Magazine: You showed restraint this season in waiting until January to bring back The Voice. Why air it again so soon in the fall?
Bob Greenblatt: This year was borne more out of not putting on the show in the fall so soon after it ended its first season. We were always thinking about having two cycles down the road, we just didn't want it too early. We wanted to expand the format, see how that played out, and we just feel like, how can we not deploy our strongest show in two cycles? Like every other reality show does.
TV Guide Magazine: What are some of the changes? Are all the judges returning for both cycles?
Bob Greenblatt: We've got deals with all the judges for the next two cycles. And we will be figuring out shortly about all their scheduling and touring and recording needs. Doing two cycles a year I think is not something they contemplated in first go round. So we've got to figure that out. But I'm hoping they'll all be back and we're going to continue to refine the show so we get the best version of it. We've got great changes afoot for the battle rounds and a number of episodes where you'll get to see the contestants perform week after week. We're talking about being really smart about further refining the format.
How is NBC's comedy strategy changing? Talk about the decision to open up Tuesday and Friday.
Bob Greenblatt: Comedy is king for me, it's the genre that everyone loves. These things go in waves but there is a big comedy boom now. We just had a great, great season of development with our comedy pilots. We have a new comedy team and certainly Jen Salke, our new president. They had a great year, and there are actually more pilots we're not picking up that that I could easily pick up.
TV Guide Magazine: You're already picking up quite a few though, looking at the volume of your orders. This is going to be a busy year for your marketing department.
Bob Greenblatt: But here's the thing, let's look at what you mean when you say "volume." There are only six new shows on the fall schedule. That's fewer than we had last year and certainly less than other networks have had in the past. And the way we're scheduling these, I think they have a fighting chance at succeeding. Certainly we'll spend an enormous amount of money marketing them. But the priority of those Tuesday night comedies [Go On and The New Normal] in the 9:00 hour come out of the lead-in of The Voice, which will give them a fighting chance. There's only two more comedies on the fall schedule [Animal Practice and Guys With Kids], and they are at 8:00 on Wednesday, where we've actually had some traction. They happen to be two shows that are very accessible, broad, big family comedy ideas. One of them through Jimmy Fallon and the other driven by a monkey that is probably going to be the most talked-about character on our new season. And then a drama and a strong lead-in on Monday behind The Voice for J.J. Abrams [Revolution] and a new Dick Wolf show [Chicago Fire]. We've got a lot of volume for midseason, but that hopefully will be deployed very intelligently as well. But for the fall, we were very smart. There are a lot of moves, but they have a lot of potential help with their lead-ins.
TV Guide Magazine: What's your report card on Smash? It's not on the fall schedule. How will it evolve with a new showrunner?
Bob Greenblatt: It is not on fall schedule primarily because were going to give a new drama The Voice lead in, that was just a given. When I look at the reality of getting this show delivered week in and week out without using a lot of preemptions, it just became a bad checkerboard of repeats and originals in the fall. And we decided, let's do what we did this year, a run of episodes, clear, no repeats and give it the opportunity to grow. Creatively I couldn't be more excited. We've got Josh Safran coming in [as new showrunner] and everyone else is still there. I think it will only improve in terms of storytelling.
TV Guide Magazine: What was your one note to Josh coming in to Smash?
Bob Greenblatt: It was, keep the essence of what we love about the show but we've got to tell more compelling, arced stories for the characters.

A comic! Grisly. By popular demand, a return to the wacky adventures of this pair. You can read the other comics in the series if you like. Well, six of the others. The seventh was an exclusive drawn for Moonbeard Volume One. There's no continuity though, aside from maybe slightly more blood pooling. So you can just jump in here, you don't need all the history.
Last comic I mentioned a Kickstarter you should definitely give to. Good news: you still can! It's for The Sunday Comics, a giant comics anthology. I'll be in there. I even had a reward tier, but that's all gone so tough luck.
Also, NZ comics legend Barry Linton has a Kickstarter up, if you're a fan of NZ comics. Or comics. You should definitely give to that too.
You should just give to all of them, every Kickstarter. All of them. Give everything to everyone. Everything you have

Everyone wears their underwear backwards sometimes, right? Right guys…? o_O
Hello! Space comic. I don't know. I really don't. But I have good news: if you hate it, I have another comic up over on LINE Webtoon you might not hate. It is a sort of sequel to this comic from a while back.
Also! Have you seen this really great chimp gif? It's a really great chimp gif.
Also! Do you like crowd funding? Who doesn't! There is an ambitious Sunday Comics Kickstarter I'm contributing to. Go give it all your money or something

Police: Enforcing new anti-texting law almost impossible
BROOKVILLE — After two months, local police officials say the state's new ban on texting is nearly impossible to enforce.
Locally, Brookville Borough Police and Punxsutawney Borough Police officers have not issued any texting-ban citations.
And statewide, the Pennsylvania State Police have issued only 44 citations since Gov. Tom Corbett's new law went into effect March 8.
"The texting law has not even been an issue with us because it's almost non-enforceable," Brookville Police Chief Ken Dworek said. "If you see somebody going down the highway, how do you know whether they're texting or not, if they have a phone in their hand, unless you see them actually pushing buttons, and that's almost something that's very difficult to do — to distinguish between cell phone usage as a phone or texting."
The new law prohibits drivers from creating or reading texts and carries a potential $50 fine.
The prohibition also covers computers or other devices that can send texts, e-mails or similar messages, but does not pertain to GPS devices or systems that are physically or electronically integrated into vehicles.
Police have been given the authority to pull over suspected violators on sight; however, this has proven very difficult for local police officials.
"We've been actively looking, but it's difficult to determine," Punxsy Police Chief Tom Fedigan said.
Pennsylvania State Police Public Information Officer Anthony Manetta said even if someone is swerving or crossing the center line, texting cannot be proven unless an officer actually sees the action.
Furthermore, an officer is not allowed to look at a person's cell phone because that would be considered a search for which a warrant is needed.
And a search warrant would most likely be obtained in only very egregious situations, such as a crash in which someone is injured.
"We would build a case," Manetta said. "We would conduct interviews of witnesses and the operator. In serious cases, we would get a search warrant for phone records or try to obtain consent from the operator."
If texting causes a person to veer off the road and into oncoming traffic, a police officer can issue a citation for not staying in the lane, but a texting-ban citation is difficult to issue.
"We are certainly enforcing it — we've issued citations, and we've gotten guilty pleas," Manetta said. "But it's still fairly new, so we're still in that education phase. We're issuing a lot of warnings."
Dworek believes that part of the problem of the new law is that it does not provide for an overall ban of hand-held cell phones.
Fedigan agrees.
"I think it'd be much easeir to enforce if that was the case — hands free," Fedigan said. "It's obvious then and much easier to see."
Dworek said it's very easy for a person to hide a phone in their lap while texting, out of sight from police officers, and wishes the state would pass a law for a total ban on cell phone usage.
"When it comes to using a cell phone when driving, I'm the worst," Dworek said. "But if they pass a law, I won't use it. We need our legislature to disregard the lobbying effort of the big business people. We need to go with safety and saving lives."
According to Manetta, about 80 percent of teens admit to texting while driving.
Furthermore, any driver is 23 times more likely to be involved in a crash if texting while driving, and teen drivers are 92 times more likely.
"This just shows how extremely dangerous it is," Manetta said. "The message that we're trying to get out is that texting while driving is dangerous for several different reasons. It takes your eyes off the road, hands off the wheel and your mind off driving."

3point5.com Platform Allows Garmin to Expand Product Training, Reach More Sales Associates in Retail Stores
3point5.com Platform Allows Garmin to Expand Product Training, Reach More Sales Associates in Retail Stores
SALT LAKE CITY, UT--(Marketwired - Feb 10, 2014) - Experticity, the leading platform for building and rewarding expertise within retail, today announced that Garmin International Inc. has selected Experticity's 3point5.com platform to enhance its training strategy, creating more knowledgeable product experts in retail stores throughout the country. Garmin, the global leader in satellite navigation, has created interactive training videos for its outdoor and fitness markets in order to give the retail associate expanded knowledge of the product features and benefits, creating an exceptional buying experience for consumers.
"Our products are designed to be easy to use, and provide great value, features and benefits to consumers," said Susan Lyman, director of marketing at Garmin. "In order to fully benefit the customer, we want them to understand our products beyond the most basic features. Providing the proper tools to the retail sales associate will ultimately enable our consumers to buy the right product that will give them an enhanced experience while running, golfing, cycling, hunting, or hiking."
Prior to its partnership with Experticity, Garmin relied solely on regional trainers that call on individual stores to train the retail personnel during scheduled visits. Garmin now enhances its existing program with 3point5 training modules.
"3point5 allows us to train associates even when they aren't in their stores, so we can reach more associates than we can on foot," explains Lyman. "We also have access to analytics to give us insight into how many retailers are taking and passing the training and whether they are participating in our pro deal for retail sales associates. The real benefit of 3point5 training is getting our products in the hands of retail associates so they aren't just explaining features and benefits -- they've actually experienced them."
Experticity's web-based retail training portal, 3point5.com, works with more than 600 brands and more than 65,000 retail locations to help retail associates gain expertise in the brands they sell. Companies like Garmin trust Experticity to deliver the product information that sales associates need to bring expertise back to the retail buying experience.
"We're thrilled to partner with Garmin to create passionate, engaged, and knowledgeable sales associates with all the tools and expertise they need to sell its innovative outdoor and fitness products," said Tom Stockham, CEO of Experticity. "Garmin understands the benefit of investing in today's sales associate and has made an important investment to help them create a better buying experience for customers."

Highlights of the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta 2017
Continuing our support of the event and the superyacht sailing circuit, we were delighted to be back in Porto Cervo as sponsors for this year's regatta which coincides with the Yacht Club's own 50th anniversary.
The Pantaenius team joined 17 racing superyachts in Sardinia earlier this month for the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta, organised by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda and Boat International.
Close racing between 37m Escapade (Dubois/Fitzroy Yachts) and 32.5m Ribelle (Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design/Vitters Shipyard) through the first few days meant that as the superyacht Class went into the final day of racing, everything was to play for with this duelling pair and the 45m Saudade (Tripp Design/Wally), all vying for a podium position.
It was the first regatta outing for the recently launched Ribelle. Her experienced owners, Salvatore and Paola Trifiro, are no strangers to the circuit however and have been delighted with the yacht's performance, "We had only two days of training but the boat is responding beautifully, it was fantastic weather, a fantastic crew, it is a great start with our new boat."
Softening winds in the latter half of the week meant a change in the calculations, with racing switching from a time-on-time method to a time-on-distance. As is often the case, the expert Race Committee managed to find enough breeze between the islands of the archipelago however to create a course each day.
In the Wally class, with 10 competing boats, Magic Carpet 3 raced consistently well and was the Class victor at the end of the week, but only narrowly beating Galateia to the post.
For the Superyacht class, 45m Saudade was the event winner, with her owner adding his name to this enviable piece of silverware for another year.
Both winning Wallys made changes last winter to optimise performance. Magic Carpet 3 is a little lighter than last year and Saudade has been adorned with a new keel, rudder, bowsprit and rigging.
Sailing safe as well as fast remains the priority, and we remind regatta entrants that participation in events like these requires appropriate insurance cover, in addition to the customary regatta third party risk insurance. The large number of additional people on board means careful choice of the correct personal liability insurance and verification that a sufficiently high sum is insured, is paramount. Pantaenius has invaluable experience in this field and we are very happy to be able to offer our assistance to all yacht owners interested in competing or those who have already fallen in love with the thrill of superyacht racing.

Google Chairman and former CEO Eric Schmidt hinted at a Nexus tablet last year and then Digitimes confirmed the report in January with their supply chain sources. This week Richard Shim, an analyst with DisplaySearch, provided additional details on the rumored device.
Shim claims the 7-inch tablet will feature a 1280×800 resolution and enter production in April. This lines up with earlier rumors that Google would bring the device to market in June. Shim also thinks the initial production run will be 1.5 million to 2 million units.
It's still not clear how Google will position the device. Shim said, "I don't know how they plan on marketing it. If it's going to be a premium device, or if it's going to be a Kindle Fire type competitor."
Given the rumored 7-inch display and $199 price point, we expect Google is going directly at the Kindle Fire market. Amazon shipped an estimated 5 million units last quarter, which makes it the best selling Android tablet to date.
Google recently pushed back their annual Google IO developers conference from May to late June, so that's the best chance we will likely hear more about this device. If Google decides to announce Android 5.0 Jelly Bean, it's possible that this Nexus tablet could become the flagship device for the latest OS.
ASUS is planning to launch their $249 quad-core MeMo 370T around the same time, so we hope that Google will be able to match those specs.
It feels like most of our hardcore audience prefers the larger 10-inch tablets, so I'm curious how many would be wiling to purchase a 7-incher from Google. What features would Google need to include in order for you to fork over $199?

Q. Why don't you plant trees in the campgrounds, pave or gravel day parking, put in electrical hook-ups, etc.?
Countryfest does not own the site where the event takes place. We rent the site from Selo Ukraina for the weekend as well as some additional land from a number of surrounding farmers for the Fisher Campground and day parking. As we are not the owners of the land, we are limited to what changes, if any, we can make to parts of the site.
Q. Can we have a campfire on our campsite?
No, open fires of any kind are not permitted on site.
Q. What size are the campsites?
The majority of the campsites are 20 x 30 feet. There are some campsites in Lower Reserved that are 20 x 20, which we suggest is only for tents. Fisher Premium campsites are approx. 20' x 40'.
Q. What happens if our camper is bigger than the campsite?
We strongly encourage you to leave any large RV's at home. Since most campsites are 30' maximum, larger units simply will not fit! Camping assistants are on site to help you.
Q. Are pets allowed on site?
Pets are allowed, but in the campground area only, and must be on a leash at all times.
Q. Are we allowed to bring fireworks onto the site?
No. Personal fireworks are not allowed on site. Anyone using fireworks will be evicted from the site.
Q. What are the grounds for eviction from the site?
Countryfest wants everyone to have a safe and enjoyable festival weekend. By obeying the rules and respecting fellow festival goers, everyone can enjoy the weekend. Grounds for eviction are: Fireworks, Rowdy or Disrespectful Behaviour, Excessive Noise, Messy Campsite, Invalid or Absent Wristband, Rule Violations.
Q. If dropping off a camper for a family member or friend, do I need a ticket / wristband to get onto the site?
If dropping of a camper for someone on the festival grounds, you will need to leave a valid credit card at the Will Call Booth upon entry. If you do not return within approximately two hours to pick it up, charges may apply.
Q. Can I camp onsite if I have only a day pass?
No, camping tickets are not available to purchase when buying day passes. Camping can be purchased only when two weekend passes are purchased.
Q. Why do I need to purchase two weekend passes to purchase one campsite?
Dauphin's Countryfest has a limited amount of campsites. To ensure that we sell weekend passes and camping passes at the same rate and to ensure that camping is available during the sale of weekend passes; two weekend passes must be purchased for every one campsite purchased.
Q. Can I switch my campsite for a different site?
No, we do not offer exchanges.

Tugboat sinking closes Houston Ship Channel
The Houston Ship Channel remained closed this morning from the Sims Bayou turning basin to the Vopak facility as efforts continued to raise and remove a sunken Kinder Morgan tugboat.
Divers from TNT Marine, a salvage company hired to dive on the vessel, yesterday recovered a body believed to be that of a missing crew member .
The command center at Coast Guard Sector Houston-Galveston received a call at 10:30 p.m.Wednesday, stating that the vessel J.R. Nichols, a 56-foot tug boat, had sunk in the shipping channel near the Sims Bayou turning basin with five people onboard.
Sector Houston-Galveston responded with two 25-foot Response Boats-Small from Coast Guard Station Houston, as well as an MH-65C Dolphin helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Houston.
Rescue crews were able to recover four persons from the sunken vessel. They were transported to a local hospital by EMS. The four displayed symptoms of hypothermia.
A salvage plan for the vessel has been filed and the cause of the accident remains under investigation.
The blog of one local personal injury lawyer noted that "preliminary reports indicate that [the tugboat] may have been caught in the wake of a larger vessel."

We're at the business end of our training. 3 weeks to go till the Rotorua Half.
I'm tired. And I'm losing the love. Nicky and I both WILL each other to pike first. When my phone bleeps with a text from her I hold my breath HOPING that she is texting these words "Sorry Kath. Can't run tonight". And then I would leap around the kitchen and pour a glass of wine and get in my pjs and watch tv then fall into a deep sleep.
But in what world would that happen? Nicky has never texted those words. No, Nicky is just letting me know that she's home and can head off early if that suits me.
And so I pull on my stinkin running gear. Lace up my stinkin shoes. Tie up my stinkin hair. Put on my stinkin hat. Get in my stinkin car and drive to stinkin Nicky's house. Stinkin Nicky.
And we run. And within 5 seconds I've found the love. And we run for 50 minutes. And we talk all the way. And we laugh. And the run is done.
And I carefully take off my loyal shoes that I love so much and put them gently in their place in the laundry, smiling at them. I peel off my running gear that is remarkable in it's ability to keep me both warm but dry. I take off my trusty hat that keeps the hair out of my face and the sun out of my eyes and I place them all lovingly in the washing machine with extra napisan tonight because they did me proud.
And I text my most precious friend Nicky and thank her from the bottom of my heart for her friendship and tell her I can't wait for the next run.

A Ramothodist Preacher's Sunday SermonSubmitted by pete on September 16, 2007 - 15:21
Lightning fans who know me know that when it comes to this team's prospects I've been a big booster of the concept of Karri Ramo making it to the NHL sooner rather than later. However, for Ramo to make the team out of camp would be an improbable event because the business side of the game all but precludes it. The Lightning have invested roughly $4 million dollars in the tandem of Johan Holmqvist and Marc Denis heading into the 2007-2008 season, and the team learned this summer that Denis is virtually untradable at this point in time after such a poor campaign last season. I won't even attempt to argue for Ramo's promotion to the bigs from a business standpoint, because it doesn't make sense.
But from a hockey standpoint it makes all the sense in the world, and it makes sense on two levels...

Second Day Scrimmage ResultsSubmitted by pete on September 16, 2007 - 14:12
Different day, same results. Sunday's scrimmage ended in yet another 1-1 tie between Team Black and Team White, duplicating Saturday's result. According to Erik Erlendsson's blog, Team Black's goal came from the prospective fourth line with Nick Tarnasky getting the goal off an Andre Roy feed. Team White's goal was scored by free agent signing Michel Ouellet off a pass by Brad Richards.
Erlendsson calls out overage prospect David Schneider for a couple of positive plays in today's game. Schneider spent the past four seasons in Finland playing in the SM-liiga for TPS and HPK and was a teammate of Karri Ramo when the two won a championship in 2005-2006. Schneider was signed to anchor the Norfolk Admirals' power play and should provide some offensive spark to the Ads' attack.
Also on the positive side, today was another strong outing for the Lightning's goaltenders particularly Ramo and veteran Marc Denis. Erlendsson had Denis stopping 17 of 17 shots faced while Ramo stopped 16 of 17 including a 3-on-1 chance by Dan Jancevski.

First Day Scrimmage ResultsSubmitted by pete on September 15, 2007 - 17:53
According to Tampabaylightning.com, day one of camp scrimmages ended in a 1-1 tie between Team Black and Team White. Team White's goal was scored by winger Kyle Wanvig off assists from Brad Richards and Doug Janik while Team Black's goal was scored by Vincent Lecavalier off assists from Vaclav Prospal and Paul Ranger.
Wanvig and Janik continue to make a strong impression after good showings in camp during physical testing on Thursday and Friday. Erik Erlendsson also notes in his blog that Wanvig was displaying a strong physical presence throughout the game to go with his goal. The Lightning's top-12 forwards appeared to be set going into training camp, but Wanvig appears to be playing his way into the discussion of who will be the first forward called up at the very least.
Erlendsson notes none of the defensemen vying for the team's #6 and #7 defenseman jobs separated from the pack, and that all three goaltenders played well with wunderkind Karri Ramo stopping 16 of 16 shots faced including a penalty shot by rookie pro Mike Lundin.

Now Matt Smaby HAS to Make the TeamSubmitted by pete on April 27, 2007 - 21:38
As some of you might know, the Falcons just completed E-baying practically their full rosters worth of black road jerseys and practice jerseys tonight. How Mitch Fritz and Daniel Corso's jerseys fetched more than Karri Ramo's, I'll never know.
In any event, yours truly just plunked down a couple hundie on young Matt Smaby's #27. No pressure Matt, but you better make the team now.

The liquoring… It's coming. With the night air getting chillier, you know in your bones that Detroit Santarchy is not far off.
Basically, this is the first post of the year. If you have forgotten how it works because of some alcohol induced blackout from last year's event, or if this is your first time, fear not. This website is the place where you you discover the questions about Detroit Santarchy that riddle your mind.
Now keep in mind, this site sits dormant for most of the year and Santa doesn't really even look at emails until about now. Santa also knows that the 2016 Detroit Santarchy is wrapped in a dense fog and you want to know what is going on. All Santa can tell you today is be patient. The fog will lift and all will be clear.
For now, Santa and his helpers have work to do prepping things. Info will start to pop up on this site just after Thanksgiving. For now, know that the date it happens is on Saturday, December 17, 2016.

Rick did not drag Hal or Kit into Serpo. I'm pretty certain Kit would not have presented it that way to you either. According to Dr. Green, he took a proactive approach himself at the beginning, and was the driving force in putting together the "team of 5" for analysis of the Serpo releases. This answer came when I asked Kit, early on, who brought him into the Serpo analysis. Because my suspicion was much as yours is - that Rick "sucked" him into it. He has denied this to be the case. You may want to ask him about that directly. If he requests it, I'd be glad to get together and compare notes with you and him regarding his memory of events.
After asking various forensic pathologists to peer-review his findings, Vallée claimed that "what UFO witnesses describe as light may, in fact, be a complex combination of ionising and non-ionising radiation. Many of the injuries described in Brazil, however, are consistent with the effects of high-power pulsed microwaves." He later pointed out that pulsed microwaves may "interfere with the central nervous system. Such a beam could cause the dizziness, headaches, paralysis, pricklings, and numbness reported to us by so many witnesses." In the conclusion to "Confrontations" Vallée discusses whether the Brazilian UFOs such as those seen at Colares are deliberately trying to kill people. If they are, he considers that they are fairly inefficient at doing it. After all, someone in a helicopter with a high powered rifle and night scope, could probably do a better job. He does however point out that a radiation beam that was designed merely to stun people at one range might be lethal at another range. Given that there is evidence that research has been done into High Powered Microwave (HPM) weapons, Jacques Vallée ponders the relationship between human and alien technology. "Here again, the UFOs seem to represent an alien force that anticipates our own scientific developments by decades, mocking our own efforts to identify its nature and its long term intentions." (Vallée, 1990, p.206)
First, there is a physical object. That may be a flying saucer or it may be a projection or it may be something entirely different. All we know about it is that it represents a tremendous quantity of electromagnetic energy in a small volume.
I say that based upon the evidence gathered from traces, from electromagnetic and radar detection and from perturbations of the electromagnetic fields such as Dr. Claude Poher, the French space scientist, has recorded.
A feeling of weakness; some could hardly walk.
Dizziness and headaches.
Local losses of sensitivity. Numbness and trembling.
Pallid complexion.
Low arterial pressure.
Anaemia, with low hemoglobin levels.
Blackened skin where the light had hit, with several red-purple circles, hot and painful, two to three centimetres in diameter.
Two puncture marks inside the red circles resembling mosquito bites, hard to the touch.
Hair in the blackened area fell out and did not rejuvenate, as if follicles had been destroyed.
No nausea or diarrhea.
Dealing with the key players, these people were actually involved in the core process of the cover-up, two CIA directors and one counter-intelligence person. Allen Dulles, Richard Helms, and James Angleton. These people were instrumental in setting up the foundations and protecting the security of the cover-up, Allen Dulles actually set up Area 51. - Robert Collins
Bob said he saw pictures of three whole bodies and bits and pieces of others. The three whole bodies were at Wright Patterson AFB. The doctors were astounded. According to them there was no esophagus, no stomach and no reproductive system. Also the blood was different. Not green or anything like that, but different. According to Bob Hippler they were about 4'8" to 5'2" and they had tiny features and tiny bone structure. More slants in their eyes than ours, like oriental. He couldn't tell about the skin because they had been in formaldehyde which changes the color. They had long fingers and tiny hands (tiny palms). Not heavy structured. Bob's description was confirmed by one of the doctors in the group.
The Manzano Mountain Range runs for about 50 miles southward from Sandia peak, which is just northeast of Albuquerque. South of Albuquerque the Manzano mountain chain is about 20 miles east of Interstate 25. If you go through go about 50 miles further south, and he said nobody will go there in that area. They won't even hunt or do anything. He says there is a hundred and fifty miles zone that is loaded with UFOs. They made one mistake one night of getting caught in there after dark, but, they got harassed on the way out. And they were scared straight, the guard says, "Hey, you know better than that." He said, "Nobody but nobody ever goes out there at night.'
"When we got in I observed five humanoid figures. I'll give you a description as best I can. Remember, I doubted what I saw. They were very, very white. There were no ears, no nostrils. There were only openings: a very small mouth and the eyes were large. There was no facial hair, no head hair, and no pubic hair. They were nude." The officer went on to say that he could see no genitalia, but they had slender figures, slender legs and small bone structure. "There were no signs of injuries to the bodies."

Date: Wed, 7 Dec 2005 06:07:41 -0800 From: "William Hamilton," email@example.com Subject: Rick Doty contradicts Robert Collins on C-2-C! Collins published this in his book: Interview with EBE-2: March 5th, 1983 at Los Alamos National Labs The following reported interview was referenced in discussion by many on the list, and can be found both in Exempt from Disclosure by Robert Collins, and on Collins' website www.ufoconspiracy.com. While the details do not match precisely, the orders of magnitude of the numbers provided (length of day and year) do correspond. The following is an account of the meeting I [Rick Doty] was involved in with EBE-2. On March 5, 1983, I was at Los Alamos National Laboratories conducting business on a counterintelligence project. During my visit, a source I'll call LANL-1, asked me to sit in on a very special interview. Not knowing what he was talking about, I questioned him. However, he wouldn't say exactly what the project involved or who was being interviewed. I accompanied LANL-1 to an underground facility west of the Los Alamos complex. The area was called, Site 30. Access to this facility was gained by entering Area 49. Access to the underground facility was through building number 49-2091. An elevator took us down about 60 feet (only estimating). Once we arrived, access was gained through a large vault opening outside the elevator. We walked down a hallway to another vault door. We entered and turned right. We walked about 200 feet turned left and entered vault door to a large room. This room contained two tables, several chairs and recording equipment. I sat near the door. About ten minutes later, three people, who I did not know, entered the room. One, an Air Force Colonel, asked me to sign a security document, which gave me an upgraded clearance, TS/SCI/Group-MJ-B-3 clearance. I've never heard of this but I signed. The Colonel told me I was to listen and not make any sounds during the interview. I asked the Colonel who was being interviewed and he told me a guest from another planet! The Colonel left. The other two people set up a table with a microphone and recording equipment, including a camera. About five minutes later, in walks a 4' 9" non human looking creature. It was dressed in a tight fitting cream colored suit. It had no hair and was identified to me as EBE-2.
Robert Collins admits Serpo is disinformation.
Robert Collins was career Air Force serving in the fields of Avionics, Ground Communications, Engineering Physics and Intelligence (Foreign Technology Division, Wright-Pat) gaining an in-depth understanding of all the career fields. After 22 years he left public service to pursue the subject of UFOs full time living on Air Force retirement supplemented by odd jobs. In his many adventures within the Air Force he was turned onto the world of UFOs by Ernie Kellerstrass in 1985. Ernie was a retired AF Lt Col who worked at the FTD (Foreign Technology Division) until retiring. After performing some research he concluded that the government UFO cover-up was real and went to great lengths to uncover the cover-up which spanned over 60 years.
Retired Air Force Capt. Robert Collins spoke with George Knapp (email) about his investigations into UFOs, ETs, MJ-12 and government knowledge. Collins detailed his involvement with a secretive group with ties to intelligence and the military, known as the "Aviary." They used bird names in order to protect their identities while communicating with each other about UFO-related subjects,he explained (a list of members compiled by Richard Boylan is posted here). Collins was the "Condor," and appeared in silhouette under that name on a 1988 TV special UFO COVERUP LIVE, along with the "Falcon" (Richard Doty), revealing information about ETs. # Three different ETs lived in secret facilities in the United States at various times, Collins reported: 'EBE 1' was recovered in 1947 and taken to a containment area in Los Alamos. A voice box was put in its throat so it could communicate. # 'EBE 2' (1964-1984) came as part of an exchange program from the third planet of Zeta 1, and resided in a Los Alamos safe house. Reagan supposedly had meetings with EBE 1 & 2. # 'EBE 3' was a female that arrived in 1978 and left in either '89 or '93. Collins also discussed an incident known as "Gate 3" in which a "cloned biological entity" escaped a containment area in Area 51 and was subsequently shot, after the entity "pulverized" a guard.
Robert M. Collins with William Moore & Rick Doty discusses SERPO. INTELLIGENCE SOURCE CODENAMED "FALCON" (Rick Doty in this case): "(From) the Zeta Reticuli star group ... (there are) two suns together." Q: "And is this the primary source of the alien visitors here?" A: "Ahh, to the best of my knowledge, yes." Q: "How long does the trip from Zeta Reticuli take....?" A: "They can... do it in about 91 days." Q: "How big is their home planet?" A: "(The) EBEN'S planet is similar to Earth, but the air is a bit thinner and contains a higher proportion of Argon and Helium. Also, the average temperature is a bit cooler especially in the northern part of their planet. They like our high mountain regions where the air is thinner and the temperature is cooler. They can't stand a lot of heat.

It was a proven hoax. The emails claiming to be from *anonymous* actually, in reality, without any doubts came from Rick Doty. Stephen Broadbent of Reality Uncovered had access to the e-mails from Victor Martinez' list and was able to see that the IP from Doty e-mails and those from *Anonymous* were the same. Doty even asked Martinez to delete his own e-mails because he realised too late that he was busted. The problem with being on an e-mail list is that when you post a message, it lands in everyone else's inbox and can't be deleted!

But that does not necessarily prove Serpo as hoax. Let's see, Reality Uncovered unsuccesfully tried to discredit cases like for example the Roswell UFO crash case, the UFOs at Nuclear weapon bases, and what else Reality Uncovered have been up to is not a pretty sight. Reality Uncovered do not act neutral at all, they could easily be accused for being just another disinfo agency.

This photo was taken at the NASA Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base, California on 6 May 1960 as part of an elaborate effort by the CIA to cover-up the true nature of the U-2 spy plane program. On 1 May 1960 CIA pilot Francis Gary Powers was shot down over the Soviet Union during a spy flight. Cooperating with the CIA, NASA issued a press release with a cover story about a U-2 conducting weather research that may have strayed off course after the pilot "reported difficulties with his oxygen equipment." This photo shows a U-2 that was quickly painted in NASA markings, with a fictitious NASA serial number, and put on display for the news media at the Edwards NASA facility. In reality, up to that time no U-2 was ever used by NASA. Unfortunately, Powers was captured by the Soviet Union and espionage equipment was recovered from the wreckage. Soviet Premier Nikita Khruschev exposed the cover-up and made much propaganda use of the American deception.
July 8th, 1947. The Army Air Forces has announced that a flying disk has been found and is now in the possession of the Army. Army officers say the missile, found sometime last week, has been inspected at Roswell, New Mexico, and sent to Wright Field, Ohio, for further inspection.

It has been said that Dr. Leir is one of the world's most important leaders in physical evidence research involving the field of Ufology. He and his surgical team have performed fifteen surgeries on alleged alien abductees. This resulted in the removal of sixteen separate and distinct objects suspected of being alien implants. These objects have been scientifically investigated by some of the most prestigious laboratories in the world including Los Alamos National Labs, New Mexico Tech, Seal Laboratories, Southwest Labs, the University of Toronto, York University, and the University of California at San Diego. Their findings have been baffling and some comparisons have been made to Meteorite Samples. In addition some of the tests show metallurgical anomalies such as highly Magnetic Iron that is without crystalline form, combinations of crystalline materials mixed common metals, growth of biological tissue into or out of metallic substances, as well as isotopic ratios not of this world. Dr. Leir has also been involved in investigations of other areas of Ufology involving physical evidence
PUBLIC INFORMATION, DISINFORMATION The Caretaker: "In order to protect all this information and the fact that the United States Government has evidence of our planet being visited by extraterrestrials, we developed over the years a very effective program to safeguard the information. We call it 'Project DOVE.' It is a complex series of operations by our military intelligence agencies to disinform the public."
The strategies for dealing with those former servicemen, corporate employees or witnesses brave or 'foolish' enough to come forward to reveal classified information is to intimidate, silence, eliminate or discredit these individuals. This policy involves such strategies as removing all public records of former military service men or corporate employees, forcing individuals to make retractions, deliberately distorting statements of individuals, or discrediting individuals

Town revokes auto repair shop's home occupation permit
Cordwell's letter indicated he had visited the site several times to discuss concerns about the operation of Schulze's home occupation
CAVE CREEK – On April 10, Planning Director Ian Cordwell had Town Marshal Adam Stein deliver a letter to Christian Schulze at 41355 N. Fleming Springs Rd. revoking his Home Occupation Permit HO-11-03 for CS Motor Sports issued in November 2011, which allowed for "automotive repair inside existing garage."
Cordwell's letter indicated he had visited the site several times to discuss concerns about the operation of Schulze's home occupation.
Schulze's application stated the repair of vehicles was to be conducted inside the existing garage.
Cordwell wrote, "The proposal as outlined in your application seemed reasonable to me at the time. You even graciously stored a small car for me in the garage for several months while I considered feasibility of repair and until I could clear space for it on the property being rented by my family. However, a proposal that seemed reasonable at inception has become inappropriate for assimilation into a residential zone."
After Cordwell received numerous verbal complaints from neighboring property owners regarding what appeared to be a commercial automotive repair operation in a residential neighborhood, the town manager joined Cordwell on a visit to the site.
During that visit, Cordwell said it was determined that, of the many vehicles parked outside the residence, two were not owned by Schulze or family members and one of those two vehicles was being repaired outside while the other was parked outside while waiting for parts to be delivered.
Back in November 2013, Bob Hughes and Tom Rhoades attended a Thursday morning Office Hours with the Mayor and Vice Mayor to complain about Schulze's auto repair shop across from their residences on Fleming Springs Road.
Hughes stated there were always seven to 10 vehicles parked in front of the residentially-zoned property.
He said it has been going on for two-and-a-half years and despite sending an e-mail to Stein and Cordwell, there had been no resolution.
"It's my understanding Councilman Ernie Bunch uses them," said Hughes, who reminded the mayor and vice mayor he had brought the issue up during the summer but no one has gotten back to him.
Rhoades said, "Last week, there were never fewer than seven vehicles in front of the house … a transit bus, a pickup truck, three cars and a boat on a trailer … it's an eyesore."
Hughes said, "All we're asking for is existing laws to be enforced. I'd like someone to look into it and at least get back to us."
Cordwell stated in his letter, "In reviewing the ordinance and permit application, the home occupation is required to be conducted by a resident thereof and to clearly be subordinate and incidental to the residential use. Neither of these requirements are (sic) in compliance."
According to the narrative submitted for the permit, Schulze also indicated he would be the only employee, which Cordwell stated was also found not to be the case.
After having received a written complaint on April 7, signed by several property owners in close proximity to Schulze's, in combination with the observations made by himself, as zoning administrator, the town marshal and the town manager, Cordwell said he was revoking Schulze's home occupation permit, effective 30 days from the date of his letter.
Cordwell instructed Schulze, if he disagreed with the determination, he could file an appeal using the enclosed appeal application form within 10 working days to Cordwell as the zoning administrator.
While the appeal application fee is normally $600, Cordwell said, "Per the direction of the town manager I am only requiring a fee of $75 to cover the cost of advertising."
The appeal would then be scheduled for review before the Cave Creek Board of Adjustment.

5 Ways to Keep Your Google Browsing Private
Google's one unified privacy policy went into effect on March 1. The new privacy policy makes it easier for Google to bring user data across its services, but the actual privacy preferences remained unchanged. Google has integrated search, email, YouTube, social and work. The few exceptions to the unified privacy policy include Books, Chrome and Wallet, as those each have industry-specific laws in place. With the unified privacy policy in mind, and the idea that your browsing history could be used against you, is it even possible to keep your information private? We spoke with two security experts, Security Evangelist Stephen Cobb of security solutions provider ESET, and Alisdair Faulkner, chief products officer of cybercrime defender platform ThreatMatrix, to get a better idea of what you can do to keep your browsing history as private as possible.
'If you are very concerned about privacy, you can go to considerable lengths to hide what you are doing with Google,' says Cobb. 'But you can't dictate your behavior based on your privacy settings, whether you're an open book or not.'
Tip #1: Sign Out of Google When You're Done
This seems way too simple. So simple, in fact, that it's easy to forget, especially if you're in a rush to leave the office. Ready? Sign out of your Google account.
'If you're going into a Web browser and Google has logged you in, Google is collecting cookies,' says Cobb. 'But you should log out first of all, and then it won't know if it's you using the browser.'
But even if you're logged out, Google will still be able to see your computer's IP address.
Tip #2: Turn on Private Browsing in Your Web Browser
'Go into private browsing mode,' says Faulkner. 'That way, if you're a closet Justin Bieber fan, you can search for Bieber and still return to your regular browsing later.'
In Google Chrome, switch it to 'incognito browsing,' which means that the pages you search won't appear in your browser history or search history. They also won't leave traces like cookies on your computer. But even if you do go 'incognito,' websites may still collect or share information about you. Incognito keeps Google Chrome from storing information about you, but it doesn't mean that you're safe from other sites.
On Firefox, you can turn on private browsing and 'do not track'. Similarly, in Safari, Opera and IE9, turn on 'in private.' The private browsing features erase your cookies after you close the window. If you're on an iPhone, go into Settings > Safari, and turn on private browsing.
'The private mode can help, but you have to be careful when you are in private browsing mode. It doesn't recognize that in the same way it sees private browsing users,' says Alistar.' So while you're still in private browsing mode, it's liable to track your behavior.'
If you really want to play it safe, don't use Google. Try a search engine like DuckDuckGo, which says up front that it does not track or bubble you.
Tip #3: Go Anonymous With Anonymizer or Tor
'If you want to run your Internet connection through something like Anonymizer, then Google won't be able to see your IP address,' says Cobb.
Anonymizer hides your IP connection, protecting all of your Internet activity no matter where you are or what network you're using.
Tor, which you can find on torproject.org, is a free software and open network that defends against network surveillance, keeping you anonymous around the Web. 'Tor and TorProject were developed with people in repressive regimes in mind, to ensure anonymity,' says Cobb. 'It ensures that what you're searching for is not seen.' These are for people who don't want what they're doing on the Internet to be tracked back to their IP address.'
Disconnect.Me believes that a user's personal info should 'be treated with respect, that you should be the steward of your digital self, and that you should own your own data.' The platform aims to put users back in charge, allowing them to decide who actually does what with their online data. Disconnect.Me is a browser plugin, quickly installed. In Chrome, users can manage it through the Extensions option in the Window menu.
The makers of Disconnect.Me also created Facebook Disconnect. This is not Google Search per se, but with the massive integration of Facebook Connect, it's important not to overlook the information that Facebook, too, is gathering on you. Facebook is notified when a user visits a site on the Web that uses Facebook Connect, which also has a slippery history of leaking info to third parties.
Tip #4: Use a VPN
'VPNs are becoming another tool,' says Faulkner. 'Using a VPN makes it harder to track someone back to the originating endpoint. They're harder to bypass.'
AnchorFree is essentially a VPN to the user's IP address, so your IP address is theirs and your real IP address is hidden. It makes sure that every page you visit is as secure as a banking site, turning HTTP traffic into HTTP(S). AnchorFree also detects and blocks malware, including malware sites, illegal or phishing sites, infected sites, and spam sites and content farms. It is available on iPhone, Mac, Android and Windows. Anonymizer, the service we mentioned above, also uses a VPN tunnel to make online activities private and secure.
Tip #5: Adjust Your Google Web History Settings
'Go into your Google Dashboard and look at the Google privacy settings, adjusting them to limit the amount of information Google collects,' says Cobb. 'Private browsing features erase your cookies after you close that window.'
This will at least ensure that your Web history isn't constantly being stored by Google forever. Go to Account Settings in your email. Scroll down to 'View, enable, or disable Web history,' and click on 'Go to Web history.' Go to 'Learn More' and then 'Remove Items from your Web History.' Log in to your web history, and select 'Remove all Web History.'
Disabling this Web history doesn't prevent Google from gathering and storing information for its internal purposes, but it might make you feel more at ease. According to the DailyMail UK, Google will anonymize this data in 18 months' time.
Google Search, Sensitive Topics and You
A recent Pew report found that most Americans are 'anxious' about the personal information that search engines and websites collect from them. A total of 65% say that search engines collecting information is a bad thing, narrowing search results to ultimately create a 'filter bubble'-like effect. Only 29% believe that search engines collecting information in order to shape future search results is indeed a good thing.
'There are a lot of benefits to Google seeing what you can do, which is to tailor to your interests,' says Cobb. 'If you're uncomfortable with that, turn on 'do not track,' clear cookies when you quit a session, and if you really don't want activity traced back to you, use an anonymizing service. It all depends on what you're using Google for - and if you're researching a sensitive topic, you might want to think about doing it incognito.'
Google defines 'sensitive personal information' as 'personal information relating to confidential medical facts, racial or ethnic origins, political or religious beliefs or sexuality,' according to the Google Privacy Policy.
Google says that it will only share this type of information with your consent: 'We will share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of Google when we have your consent to do so. We require opt-in consent for the sharing of any sensitive personal information.'
It all comes back to personal preference, and the user's trust in Google. After all, it is tracking you.
