* Required fields
Discover ancient formations that seem to have dropped from the wide blue skies of the Barkly Tablelands. Wander around the Karlu Karlu/Devils Marbles, huge granite boulders, some precariously balanced and defying gravity, which are scattered across a wide, shallow valley, 95 kilometres south of Tennant Creek.
The Devils Marbles are a sacred site known as Karlu Karlu in the language of the traditional owners the Warumungu people. Formed over millions of years, they continue to crack and erode making for a unique view each time you visit.
Take your time to explore the region's most famous landmark. Follow the walkways and find out via the information boards how the granite formations have withstood the eroding forces of wind and rain, unlike the surrounding sandstone. The fascinating geological marvel can be explored through a short self-guided walking trail and informative signage.
The Karlu Karlu/Devils Marbles Conservation Reserve offers a scenic bush camping area with fireplaces. Stay the night to ensure you're there at sunset, the most dramatic time to experience them.
Home to rich cultural heritage, indigenous history and incredible desert landscapes. Meet local Aboriginal artists, ride across the land on horseback and follow the course of the Overland Telegraph Line to the ancient rock formations of the Devils Marbles.

Hi! My Name is Loco, and I am a Racist, Baye McNeil
A look at life in Japan as a "gaijin," an African American, and a discussion of racism in general. McNeil feels that racism has been a dirty word for too long and that many of us are closet racists. But from knowledge comes power, and we all need to face the big R, learn from our own racist tendencies and come out better in the end. Highly recommended for Non-Japanese and Japanese alike. I really hope Japanese read this book as well. It deserves a large readership.
McNeil tells us:
"...while racism continues to be demonized as a dark aberration that only `evil people,` ignorant fools, or people lacking compassion and common decency are subject to, then it will remain at large - hiding in plain sight, in our schools, offices, carpools, living rooms and sometimes in the mirror."

Westfield State names Bashaw coach
WESTFIELD, Mass. -- Nathan Bashaw has been appointed head baseball coach at Westfield State. The announcement was made Friday by Westfield State director of athletics Richard Lenfest. Bashaw, the head coach at Elms College for the past three years, officially begins his Westfield State duties Aug. 26.
"I am pleased to welcome Nathan Bashaw to Westfield State," Lenfest said. "We had a strong field of candidates and Nathan's enthusiasm and passion for coaching, and his demonstrated experience building a program in Massachusetts while at Elms College made him our top choice. Coach Bashaw's previous experiences with schools such as Gettysburg and Dickinson, and his philosophies regarding the importance of student-athlete academic success and work ethic match up perfectly with our department. I am excited and look forward to Nathan leading our baseball program to continued success."
Bashaw, 32, replaces Ray Arra, who led the Owls to three NCAA tournament appearances, four Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference regular-season championships and six consecutive 20-win seasons in his nine years as head coach.
"I am very excited at the prospect of building upon an extremely competitive baseball program at a tremendous academic institution," Bashaw said. "I would like to thank Dick Lenfest and Westfield State for this opportunity. The past success of the baseball program under Coach Arra, reputation of the athletics department and strong academic programs make this an ideal environment to attract student-athletes who can help us compete for MASCAC championships on a consistent basis."
Bashaw quickly built Elms into a competitive program. The Blazers won the most games (20) in program history in 2013, qualified for the postseason twice, received its first ECAC bid, and notched its first ECAC tournament victory.
In his debut season in 2011, Bashaw guided the Blazers to the second-highest win total since the 2005 season, notching 15 victories. In 2012, he led Elms to a 14-win season and its first berth in the New England Collegiate Conference tournament since 2009.
Prior to Elms College, Bashaw served as the assistant coach at Gettysburg from 2005-10. Bashaw primarily coached the catchers and hitters at Gettysburg, and he assisted in the scheduling of practices, recruiting and the coordination of fall showcase clinics.
Bashaw helped guide Gettysburg to the program's second-highest win total (26) in 2007 and two Centennial Conference postseason appearances. He also served as an assistant coach at Dickinson during the 2004 and '05 seasons.
In addition to his baseball coaching duties at Gettysburg, Bashaw served as director of campus recreation and was promoted to assistant athletics director in 2009. At Elms, his secondary duties included coordinating the intramurals program, home game management and teaching physical education courses.
Bashaw will also take on additional duties at Westfield State, serving as the assistant sports information director with an emphasis on publicizing and promoting the Owls' 21 varsity sports.
Bashaw was a standout player at Gettysburg from 2000-03. He was a three-year starter at shortstop and team captain his senior year, earning all-conference honors after hitting .341 and finishing in the top 10 in the league in hits and runs scored. He set a school record with 101 assists as a junior and finished his career with a .310 batting average.
Bashaw earned his a bachelor's degree in classical studies with a minor in mathematics from Gettysburg. He earned a master's in exercise science and physical education with an emphasis in administration from McDaniel College in 2006.

Diabetic Neuropathy symptoms and Treatment Diabetes can lead to many problems, one of them being diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is a nerve disorder that appears as loss of feeling in the feet. About 15 million Americans suffer from such nerve problem.This happen when blood glucose reaches and remains at dangerous levels for several years.There is no set time of the onset of it, short term or years after acquiring diabetes, as all depends on the condition of the individual and the issues surrounding diabetes. There are five types of diabetic neuropathy (autonomic neuropathy, proximal motor neuropathy, cranial mononeuropathy, radiculopathy and polyneuropathy), but the one that is most common and relating to the feet is polyneuropathy.Symptoms of diabetic neuropathy.
The most common symptoms of polyneuropathy are tingling and numbness in the feet. Numbness will usually become greater during drastic changes in temperature. Tingling usually begins in the toes of the feet and works its way towards the leg. Other symptoms include jabbing pain, greater sensitivity, problems with simple tasks (walking) and other foot conditions (infections and pain related to the joints). Jabbing pain can become a constant with the movement of the feet. Heightened sensitivity can result in pain with simply putting on socks. Tasks such as walking for short distances can create pain and discomfort. Due to the numbness, infections may continue to go unnoticed. This will create other problems, which may include gangrene or diabetic ulcer.
Treatment of diabetic neuropathy depends largely on the symptoms. In the case of polyneuropathy, regulating blood sugar levels is the greatest way to improve the condition. This is the cause, but it may not be enough to resolve certain symptoms that have already become integrated within the body. Further treatment may be necessary with the use of medication. Infections may require surgery, and in some cases, amputation may be involved. For this reason, it is important for anyone who has numbness to examine his/her feet on a regular basis. In all cases, the goal is to reduce the pain. This may be as simple as wearing comfortable shoes or elastic socks. Further treatment of diabetic europathy includes the following:
- Stimulation of the nerve by using an external device to deliver electrical stimulation to relieve pain.
- Gentle and rhythmic massage either by hand or massage devices to help relieving the pain and help with relaxation.
- The use of infrared light to stimulate nerve function
- Making use of acupuncture.
- Making use of an alternative method such as biofeedback. Such a method will enable an individual affected by diabetic neuropathy to train his/her body's responses and reaction to pain.
The types of medication involved will greatly depend on the symptoms. Pain medications will help reduce the discomfort, but they may not play any role at all in solving the problem as a whole. Anti-depressants have been used to relieve certain symptoms. Also, anti-seizure drugs have been known to quell the problems relating to feet conditions (Tegretol, Neurontin). The other types of neuropathy can affect many different areas of the body. With the other types of diabetic neuropathy will also come different symptoms. They will require different treatments and medications. Again, the main issue is blood glucose levels. If the levels are regulated and checked on a daily basis, then it will minimize the problem from the source. If any of the above symptoms are present, then it is imperative to seek medical treatment immediately.
Lack of action will only create more problems and more symptoms. Lack of action may also result in irreversible conditions. Issues with diabetes are difficult enough without the compounded problems of diabetic neuropathy. With increased age, the chances of acquiring the symptoms due to unregulated glucose levels will greatly increase. As the number of individuals with diabetes increases, so does the number of patients with diabetic neuropathy. Take the necessary steps to control blood sugar so these problems do not arise, either down the road or in the near future, to make walking or performing simple tasks unmanageable.
A few nutrients that are appropriate for your nerve or brain health:
- Black current seed Oil, borage or evening primrose oil contain the essential fatty acid to help support the nerve cell.
- Resveratrol contains antioxidant properties that reduce oxidative stress in nerve cells.Food sources include dark grapes,red wine,blueberries and cranberries.
- Tumeric contains curcumin,an antioxidant that protects the nerves and reduces inflammation and heals cuts and leg ulcers when applied topically.
- Vitamin B complex plays a very important in promoting and ensuring nerve health as it provides ourishment for the nervous system.What to do to keep diabetic neuropathy from getting worse? Keep your blood sugar level in the safe range. Inform your health care professional once you noted changes in your body functions.
- A Word of Caution, If you have been diagnosed with neuropathy,do not let anyone advise you.You must instead seek out the help of a qualified health orthopedic doctor,podiatrist or endocrinologist.

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia's totemic forward Tim Cahill has not fractured his ankle but is still a doubt for next week's first leg of the World Cup playoff against Honduras, Football Federation Australia said on Saturday.
The 37-year-old forward injured the joint in A-League action for Melbourne City on Friday, casting doubt on his fitness for the match in San Pedro Sula on Nov. 10.
"Tim Cahill underwent an X-ray on Friday night and an MRI scan on Saturday morning to determine the extent of an injury sustained to his right ankle," read a statement.
"While no fracture was identified, monitoring and rehabilitation will be required to manage Cahill back to full fitness.
"The Socceroos' medical and coaching staff will determine Cahill's eligibility for the upcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup Intercontinental Play-off (CONCACAF-Asian Zone) against Honduras.
"A further update regarding Cahill will be provided by FFA on Sunday."
Cahill scored his 49th and 50th international goals to ensure Australia defeated Syria in last month's Asian playoff, which set up the intercontinental tie for a place in next year's tournament in Russia.
Even if he fails to recover in time for the first leg, Australian football fans will be desperate for him to play some part in the second leg in Sydney on Nov. 15.

I don't know who this pain in the ass is, but I love him.
"Checkpoint USA" is a fellow who, to use his own words, "dedicated to exposing the police state - one checkpoint at a time".
This video is especially delicious:
Driver: Am I being detained?
USBP Officer: No.
Driver: Then I'm free to go?
USBP Officer: No.
[Note: Summary and fair paraphrase.]
In the end, they didn't arrest him and let him go. I must confess that this surprised me. The American police agencies have gotten so used to ignoring their Constitution (and having that validated by judges like Alito, Roberts, Scalia and Thomas) that the simple fact that a person who hadn't done anything wrong and who insisted on his Constitutional rights was not arrested actually surprised the hell out of me. I have gotten so used to bogus charges like "obstructing police", "resisting arrest" and the like being laid in the USA when somebody doesn't roll over like a puppy for authority that I'm amazed when what should happen does happen.

Letters to the editor
Sexton, show your face!
To The Editor:
It is time for President John Sexton of New York University to show his face in the East Village. His public relations staff absorbed the community's outrage at last week's Community Board 3 Housing Subcommittee meeting, but word does not seem to be getting through. We have legitimate concerns with the huge new dormitory he is constructing on E. 12th St., and are furious about the manner in which the university has behaved during the negotiation process.
Sexton has publicly proclaimed his intention to behave differently than his predecessors, to be open, to listen, to respect the scale of the Village, and produce a campus master plan. Yet in developing this new 700-bed dorm, those promises were repeatedly broken. The N.Y.U. trustees should be ashamed of the lies told in their name. The university made a show of a few meetings with neighborhood groups, but not a single change to the design. The modest suggestions made (build the base out to the street wall, take a few floors off) were ignored. The university's claim that this would add $13.5 million to the cost is not remotely credible.
Alicia Hurley said at last week's C.B. 3 meeting that the developer would have built 26 stories on the site in any event. Is it unreasonable to hold a great university to a higher standard than a businessman? Even the Toll Brothers project on Third Ave. is only 21 stories. Yet N.Y.U. is erecting a huge tower on an open plaza, midblock on a residential street. It will be twice as tall as their Third Ave. dorms and loom over the East Village. And the drawings filed with the Department of Buildings are God-awful like cheap public housing from another era. The concrete floor slabs are exposed, and aluminum window units with A.C. grilles alternate with patches of brick. There is no architecture at all. N.Y.U. has a responsibility at a minimum to build well.
Sexton must stop hiding behind staff and feel the heat. The concentration of N.Y.U. students in our midst has an enormous impact. They overburden our few parks, support chain stores over local shops, drink and carouse and disrupt our sleep. We would like him to hear that. Let's start that dialogue. Let's see that master plan. Let's have N.Y.U. build some green space and affordable housing. And let's stop construction of this ill-conceived project.

The item in Scoopy's Notebook called "Arty Bucks," which appeared in the Aug. 30 issue and quotes Community Board 2 "muckrakers" and "skeptical board members," has hurt and outraged Arthur Strickler's friends, family and his longtime partner, David Spegal.
It is my understanding that all city jobs require a current beneficiary in the event of the death of an employee. Most city jobs use a formula to calculate the reimbursement that is sent to the beneficiary for any unused sick and vacation time. Any monies due are calculated by the city based on the existing records and are sent to the beneficiary on file.
I think that in quoting the "muckrakers" and "skeptical board members" you have violated the intended confidentiality of this process and deeply hurt Arthur Strickler's surviving partner, David, as well as his friends and family.
The usual justification for printing this kind of malicious gossip is that "we are clearing the air" or "discrediting the gossip." We have heard all of this before but by repeating this to your readers you bring the gossip to a larger group than the "muckrakers" could ever hope to by word of mouth.
These gossipers and spreaders of misinformation really need to be ignored by all of us, as they keep our board from functioning as a whole on important issues that concern the greater community. By spreading innuendo and gossip, there is an inference that there has been some undercover or covert action going on. It never has to be proven, just repeated. By insinuation it becomes suspect and then fact.
This kind of reporting doesn't belong in our neighborhood newspaper. The Villager does not have to participate in this low "gossipy level" of innuendo by mysterious sources. It is a newspaper that helped to effect change and improvement in our neighborhood and it did this very well. I have a slew of back issues that attest to your successes and show what the written word can accomplish. Primarily The Villager gave voice to our neighborhood's issues, not malicious gossip.
Those of us who are "left over" from a time when Greenwich Village stood for artistic freedom, gay liberation, racial tolerance and "the road less traveled" are appalled. The Villager should take the higher road and use Scoopy's column for better purposes than furthering gossip.
David Spegal deserves an apology, and let our friend and former district manager of Community Board 2 rest in peace, at last.

'Shlomo' low blow vs. Cohen
To The Editor:
Re "Chan says blogs can't spin her off bench" (news article, Sept. 20):
Lincoln Anderson quoted me completely out of context when he attributed me with saying "David Cohen is no Shlomo Hagler."
What I responded to was a question about who campaigned the hardest, and some of the differences between both campaigns. What Anderson fails to report is that I said the same of Margaret Chan, also a very hard worker. I have worked for campaigns for over 14 years now and have never seen a candidate work as hard as Hagler. He earned every single vote he got. That was my only point.
Throughout our primary battle, David Cohen proved to me to be an intelligent, hard-working, polite and considerate person. He is a very talented individual with great skills, and he is going places. I never "chose" not to work for David. I discussed the campaign with him and his wife, and failed to pursue it due to fundraising obligations I had at the time with the New York Women's Bar Association. I can only guess David saw my lack of responsiveness as a lack of willingness and went with another campaign manager.
Ms. Chan approached me several months later. By that time, David had hired someone. I liked Ms. Chan and what she stood for a lot, and took the position.
I think Margaret and David are both very qualified individuals, and by every indication of the results, the voters agreed.

Staying wasn't an option
Re "New principal is driven to 'make the world better' " (news article, Sept. 13):
As the former principal of St. Patrick's Elementary School, I am taking this opportunity to correct the impression that I retired last May after more than 30 years as principal. Unfortunately, it was an unplanned retirement that was thrust upon me. I gave 29 years as a teacher and nine years as principal. My school year ended in June not May. I feel this correction needed to be understood.

Taxis hog the streets
Re "Bicycle lanes are a great start, but add barriers" (editorial, Sept. 20):
I applaud and support the creation of more bike lanes in Lower Manhattan, but the fact is that it will reduce the space reserved for cars and thus create more traffic congestion. Having worked here for some time now, I think much of the congestion is due to the proliferation of taxis, most of which are taking one person at a time to or from work, between meetings in buildings other than their own, or even to and from lunch.
With so many subways and buses and so many restaurants, there is really no need for anyone who can walk and is at all skilled at managing time to do any of these. Further, since energy conservation and independence remain hot-button issues, to say nothing of staying in shape, the increased use of both bicycles and mass transit would definitely be welcome.
It is no less than utterly selfish to insist on individual chauffeuring, whether at morning rush, evening rush or in between. At the very least, let me suggest that if you must take a taxi, take someone else with you, if only to split the recently increased fare.

Apartment soon available?
I have lived at 1 Union Square South since the day it opened seven years ago. I have watched as the area "transformed" from a pleasant place to live to the overcrowded, oppressive area it now is. Walking on 14th St. between Fifth and Third Aves., I feel like a salmon swimming upstream to spawn. The grocery stores are so crowded I now am forced to order from Fresh Direct. I stay in my apartment all day long to avoid having to go out into the flood of humanity that now overtakes our area.
My question is how can I become active in fighting all this "progress"? Is there a city office I can picket? A neighborhood association I can join?
Any help you can give me before I am forced out of my home would be appreciated.

Lessons in tardiness
I like State Senator Tom Duane's idea of having his class design a state budget ("School politics prove popular in state senator's class," Back to School, Sept. 6).
To make the experience more realistic, he should allow them to hand in the assignment several months past the due date.

Artists should be paranoid
Re "S.I.A.C.U. is sacked after flap over letter backing artist zones" (news article, Sept. 13):
I want to thank The Villager for its in-depth coverage over 13 years of the issue of street artists' rights. What often appears to simply be a matter of vending law is in reality a struggle for free speech on public property, the outcome of which will permanently affect the freedoms of every New Yorker.
One point in the most recent article needs clarification, however. I'm quoted as saying that "original artists-only zones infringe on the rights of other vendors." The most significant reason A.R.T.I.S.T. opposes this plan is that art zones infringe on the rights of original artists themselves.
Under the rulings in the A.R.T.I.S.T. lawsuits, we won full First Amendment protection, exactly the same that a newspaper publisher or public speaker has. Unlike the prohibitions involved in creating an "art zone," First Amendment-protected speakers are not limited to an artist ghetto. All public property in New York City is our forum. We have no approval process to submit to. No government official nor any artist appointee gets to give or deny us permission to speak. There are no limitations on which art mediums we can express ourselves in nor on the subjects we may choose to explore. Most important, unlike the drastic penalties for violating the rules under an art zone system, we can be given a summons, but we can never be denied access to the public forum.
In his latest attack on those who won him his rights, Larry White melodramatically describes my leadership of the street artist movement as "taking artists down a dark road of confrontation and useless hatred." Then, he goes on to describe his own friends and former S.I.A.C.U. members as being "paranoid" for protesting against efforts to eliminate them from West Broadway.
White would prefer street artists to remain silent and hopeful as they patiently wait for a government grant, free housing and whatever other incentives are offered in exchange for surrendering our full constitutional rights. For A.R.T.I.S.T. members, our rights are the source for fulfilling an artist's economic needs. We ask nothing from city officials other than for them to stop trying to harm us.
Protest is in and of itself the most protected form of free speech. As street artists, it will remain our handiest tool in this ongoing struggle.

Thank You Martha Stewart
If there's one person on the planet who can prove plates full of veggies aren't just for veg heads, it's Martha Stewart. While far from a vegan manifesto, the title alone of her new book, meatless, can influence the masses to think outside the slaughterhouse.
Bill Clinton showed the public it's possible to reverse illness by way of your mouth. Martha Stewart is showing the public that meatless meals can be decadent, trendy and impressive to the eye. Read more

We won't have Jim Tressel to kick around any more
Coach Jim Tressel out at Ohio State – Columbus Dispatch
Joe Paterno has outlasted another one! Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Jim Tressel is resigning because all the stuff David Jones of the Patriot-News has been hinting at for years is hitting the fan. My initial reaction is joy, because who doesn't like to see a rival fall? Tressel was a phony and ran a program that was filled with problems that he was able to brush aside because he won a National Championship (with Maurice Clarett and after a very late pass interference flag) and beat Michigan. I'm glad to see it all caught up with him.
Of course, it only matters for Penn State fans if the Nittany Lions learn to stop throwing pick-sixes at the Horseshoe.
UPDATE: Here is the Sports Illustrated article that prompted Tressel's resignation. My reaction, "meh."

The climate is beginning to heat up and summer is officially right around the corner. We expect you all to be out there enjoying the weather and spending a lot of time outside, as you all deserve the sunshine! While you are out there having fun in the sun make sure that you are also protecting yourself from it! Here are some simple tips so you avoid any sun burns, skin damage and visits to the doctor in the future:
Cover Up in Style
- Wear a wide brim hat that protects your scalp, forehead, eyes, ears, nose and neck- a good opportunity to showcase your fashion sense
- Wear sunglasses that are UV absorbent
- Invest in some light weight long sleeved shirts, they'll keep you cool while protecting your arms
Apply Sunscreen
- SPF 30 at least; Anything less than this won't protect your skin much, and can result in unwanted sunburns
- Remember to reapply regularly – especially if you plan on swimming or playing sports
Limit Your Sun Exposure
- If you plan on being out in the sun for a couple of hours make sure that you routinely find shade as well
- Bring a sun umbrella, if you're going to the beach or a park
Stay Hydrated
- Drink up on natural waters
- Reusable water bottles are the way to go
- Soda and alcoholic beverages actually dehydrate you, so do not use these as a replacement to water
Keep these tips in mind and go out and have some fun in the sun! If you plan on camping soon, be sure to follow the steps above and check out our 101 guide to camping.

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: Kobe Bryant and the Lakers try to finish off the Nuggets, and the Bronx Bombers head to Cleveland in search of some wins.
Tipping off on the hardwood . . .
It's curtains for the Nuggets on Friday night if they can't get past the Lakers in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals. Denver trails Los Angeles 3-2 in the best-of-seven third-round series after falling 103-94 on the road in Game 5 on Wednesday night. Bryant led the Lakers with a team-high 22 points in that win, while Lamar Odom contributed 19 points and 14 boards off the bench. Carmelo Anthony had a game-high 31 points on just 9-of-23 shooting for the Nuggets in the loss. Chauncey Billups and Kenyon Martin each put up 12 points Wednesday.
Meeting up on the diamond . . .
It'll be a battle of lefthanders in Cleveland on Friday night as Cliff Lee and the Indians host Andy Pettitte and the Yankees. Lee (2-5, 3.04 ERA) has given up three or fewer earned runs in each of his last eight outings, but his team is just 2-6 in those contests. Pettitte (4-1, 4.30 ERA), has given up four or more earned runs in four of his past five outings, but the Yankees have compiled a 4-1 record.
Also on the AL schedule for Friday: Boston at Toronto, Minnesota at Tampa Bay, the White Sox at Kansas City, Seattle at the Angels, and Oakland at Texas (in a doubleheader). As well, the Tigers and Orioles will continue their series down in Baltimore, with the O's expected to debut their top prospect, catcher Matt Wieters. Dontrelle Willis (1-1, 3.57 ERA) heads to the hill for Detroit Friday night.
Over in the National League on Friday things will get underway early with a 2:20pm ET game between the Dodgers and Cubs in Chicago. Chad Billingsley (6-2, 2.82 ERA) is expected to get the start for Los Angeles in that contest; the lefthander gave up five runs (four earned) over six innings in a loss to the Angels last time out. Chicago will send lefthander Ted Lilly (5-4, 3.77 ERA) to the mound.
Rounding out the Senior Circuit slate for Friday: Houston at Pittsburgh, Washington at Philadelphia, Florida at the Mets, Cincinnati at Milwaukee, San Diego at Colorado, Atlanta at Arizona, and St. Louis at San Francisco. The Giants will turn to Matt Cain for that west-coast matchup; the righthander is 5-1 with a solid 2.40 ERA on the season, and his team is 4-0 in his last four outings.

FARMINGTON, Conn. — A Connecticut man was arrested after he called 911 to find out how much legal trouble he could get in for growing marijuana, the Hartford Courant reported yesterday.
Robert J. Michelson of Farmington, Conn., called 911 on Thursday to ask about the legal penalties for cultivating marijuana. Dispatchers traced his address and sent narcotics officers to his home.
Michelson told the officers he had purchased equipment to grow marijuana online. The officers found one small cannabis plant, cannabis seeds and growing equipment, as well as drug paraphernalia, and arrested Michelson.
He was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, illegal cultivation of marijuana, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia in a drug factory.
Michelson was brought to the Farmington police station and released on $5,000 bond. He was reportedly cooperative with officers but made an obscene gesture toward the police dispatchers.

Dog vomiting can be a huge concern, especially in a young puppy. Your first reaction might be to assume your dog has an infection or a virus, but that's not always the case. It's important to be aware of the various causes of vomiting in dogs – if the problem is being caused by something the dog has eaten, getting her to a vet quickly could be a matter of life and death. On the other hand, some vomiting may be entirely harmless and the problem will clear up on its own. Let's look at some of the causes of vomiting in dogs and what you should do about it.
The first thing to understand is that there's no single cause of vomiting in dogs – you can't diagnose your dog with an illness based on vomiting alone. As already mentioned, it might be the result of her eating something she shouldn't have, or it may be a sign of a more long term health problem. Even if your dog could not possibly have ingested a poison that you know of, there are certain foods dogs react to quite adversely – chocolate, for example, can be extremely poisonous to dogs and can cause vomiting and even death if enough is eaten.
Something the dog has eaten should be the first consideration – keep an eye on the dog to see if she vomits repeatedly, or if it's a one-off. If she only vomits once in the space of 24 hours, it's probably same to assume she got rid of whatever she'd eaten that caused her stomach problems.
In some cases, when you know your dog has swallowed a poison, it's actually beneficial to induce vomiting on purpose to help purge the poison from her system.
Bear in mind that it's fairly normal for dogs to vomit every now and again, so it's not necessarily something to worry about. You've no doubt caught your dog eating rather undesirable food scraps on more than one occasion. Dogs have a tendency to eat things they shouldn't on a fairly regular basis – as long as the food item isn't poisonous and is merely causing a stomach upset, the vomiting shouldn't lead to any major complications. If the vomiting appears to be the result of a poisonous substance or it keeps happening repeatedly over a 12 hour period, you need to seek help from a vet immediately. (If the first vomit contains blood, seek help straight away).
Even if your dog only vomits once and then seems to go back to normal, it may still be wise to take her to the vet if she hasn't been for a check up in a while. It's always good to keep up a regular routine of check-ups, and a vomiting episode, even if it turns out to be harmless, could be a warning sign that your dog is suffering from a longer-term problem.
Note: Dog vomiting and dog diarrhea have been treated successfully with natural products from companies like Vitality Science. Since these conditions (as well as many others) can arise from nutritional issues they offer a free ebook you can download called The Only Dietary Guide You or Your Pets Will Ever Need.

UFO sightings: Best places to go spotting around the world
Where are the best countries to spot a UFO? Some places (including quite a few in the UK) seem to be riddled with the things. So if you're up for doing a bit of chasing, it's wise to choose your spot carefully.
UFO sightings seem to be increasing all the time, with new reports from all corners of the world springing up every day. It's become rather cool to have seen one: everyone from Mick Jagger to Victoria Beckham claim to have seen mysterious saucer-shaped objects in the sky at some point.
If you want to get in on the action, check out our top ten places around the world, below.

Annual Profit Charts
We Can Make You Win!
The football betting tips from our incredible football betting systems are offered to a limited number of members. Our target is to provide our clients with season after season of profit. We are a private online soccer picks service. Our football predictions are based on a system that is NOT for sale. Every week we provide our clients with picks and staking advice. Our goal is to make consistent profits for our clients and ourselves. This has been demonstrated by our high strike rate (81%) with an average price of 1.55 and profits extending over 9 years.
Here is a question you MUST ask all football tipsters or football betting systems vendors:
"If it is so good, why are you selling it?"
Here is our answer:
"Our tips are only released to clients AFTER our personal bets have been placed. Therefore sharing this information has no impact on our potential profit and provides us with an additional stream of income.
The football predictions are based on our strategies, which have never been offered for sale, and never will be. As our selections are fixed odds and in very strong markets, the amounts we are placing have a negligible impact on the prices available to clients. This ensures that they are happy and we are happy."
The Football Betting Champion Team
Longevity: Since 2005 we have been predicting the outcome of soccer matches around the world. We operate all year round and the summer months are frequently our most profitable. We cover a strong portfolio of leagues from a large number of countries. Over the years our strategies have developed and flourished to become the profit generating machines they are today.
We take the knocks for you: Football betting is not a level playing field. If you think you can win just by following some system in a book, you are going to get eaten by the wolves. Our methods take in an incredible number of variables, analyse the input and then present us with its picks. We research these matches even further to take into account factors that can't be assessed by a computer. We weed out the ones that look uncertain or are in questionable leagues. This safeguards your investment and builds your profit.
Make A Million Tonight! I'm sorry, we can't promise that. If that is what you are looking for, you have come to the wrong site. There are a lot of con men out there who will readily make you that promise and take your money. Let us get this straight - it is NOT easy to win at football. We will have winning days and we will have losing days. Our aim is to ensure there are more winning days than losing days.
Limited membership: Until recently we only permitted 100 active members at a time. With the number of available sports books increasing by the day, we decided last week to increase this number to 200. If the "Join Now" button is deactivated, put your name on our waiting list, and we will contact you when a place is available.
Integrity and honesty: You may have dealt with some shady characters in the past, and quickly found that the initial sales pitch bore no resemblance to the actual results achieved by the product. In the members area you will find an area, where you can look back on our past record. This will show you a) Matches we looked at closely b) Matches we made tips. All members see the same information, and if you can find a discrepancy in our claims, you are entitled to a 200% refund. We also make our other guarantee's very clear right from the start.
Never miss a tip: All picks will be available in the member's area from 11 AM on weekdays and 9 AM on Weekends and Public Holidays. All members can receive notification of their soccer tips via SMS text message as well.
Standard Membership
Our standard membership has been the back bone of our service since we started.
The number of soccer picks vary per day.
On a busy Saturday our football systems may generate 8 - 11 soccer picks, these will then be further analysed and reduced to 4-6 tips. Whereas on a Monday / Tuesday you may only have 1 or 2 or possibly even none after our analysis is completed.
This is because we will not make a prediction for the sake of it. We do our research and if nothing matches our criteria for a tip, we are not afraid to pass on the day and wait for a better opportunity. [read more...]
Premier Membership
Our Premier membership service is targeted at high rollers who demand a high strike rate and guaranteed profits from our soccer betting tips.
There will never be more than one Premier pick on a day. On some days there will be no tips.
This is usually because none of the soccer games meet the stringent criteria we use to make our selections. Forget long losing streaks and low returns, these football tips are honed in to bring you maximum profits in minimum time!
Since we started this service, we have had 507 winners and 17 losers. During this time we have made a profit for members that is unrivalled by other sources. [read more...]

Some typical home features that act as hidden doors are bookcases, mirrors, staircases, wall panels and flooring sections. More unusual elements that may conceal a secret room or passage include fireplaces, wardrobes, ticket booths, and brick or stone walls. Doors may swing in or out, depending on the application, and may also include a secret latch. Some doors conceal a hidden passageway, while others hide a wine cellar, powder room, office, vault or storage compartment.Continue Reading
Homeowners can add interest to an oddly shaped space by adding a hidden door. The area under a staircase, for instance, is usually unused. Adding a bookcase beneath the stairs that swings out creates a conversation piece and adds a cozy room or storage area to a home.
Egyptian pyramids and tombs often had hidden chambers with booby-trapped entrances to protect the dead and their valuables from looting. Many Medieval castles had hidden passageways to provide a means of escape to inhabitants under siege. Persecuted religious groups over the centuries have worshipped in hidden spaces, and many English manor homes featured a priest hole to hide Catholic clergy from the Protestant authorities. Hidden doors in safe houses hid runaway slaves as part of the Underground Railroad. Speakeasies during prohibition were often concealed in hidden rooms to protect drinkers from the authorities.Learn more about Doors, Windows, & Locks

This surreal optical illusion is indeed beautiful. At quick glance, all I can see is an old man but when I looked at it closer, I saw many other figures and I was completely surprised. I find this portrait of Leonardo Da Vinci extraordinary.
About the Leonardo Da Vinci – canvas print
I have learned that this Leonardo Da Vinci canvas print of Iustinian is a surreal optical illusion. He created it in such a way that it will give a good trick to the viewer. Iustinian has attempted to give the viewer's brain a workout and test the ability to play with perception by checking out the other hidden images in the canvas print. As a surrealist, Iustinian has created a dreamlike portrait of Da Vinci and he filled the face of Leonardo with mysterious images like doves, dogs and fish.
About the Artist
Iustinian Ghita has shown his great talent in painting by turning a bipolar malady into something beautiful. It is not surprising for he was born in a family of painters. He currently lives and works in Munich, Germany. You can find his fine artworks in both public and private art collections. As a painter, he travels through reality to Surrealism, transforming and accepting the reality's illusions on his canvas. He is a painter who dares the viewer to see beyond the standard contemplation of the art and challenges the ordinary impressions or discernment of the mind. His paintings can be playful and can also incite you to reexamine your ideas about art and life. His paintings are truly of such depth that you will keep finding something new within it.
Thank you Iustinian Ghita for giving us the permission to share and post your surreal art illusion. You can visit his website if you wish to learn more about interesting optical illusions.

3 Easy Steps To Flushing Your Cannabis For Better Buds
Fortunately, properly flushing cannabis is easy. Here are three simple steps toward healthier, happier, and more smokable buds.
Fortunately, properly flushing cannabis is easy. Here are three simple steps toward healthier, happier, and more smokable buds.
Step 1: Gather, purify, and pH test the water
Gather double the water to fully drench the soil. It may not be necessary to use all of this water. If indoors, it is recommended to make sure there is an empty water catch underneath well-draining pots.
The best water for cannabis is filtered using an air stone or carbon filter to aerate the soil and remove compounds like chlorine.
pH test the water to make sure it is in the optimal range for cannabis plants, which is between 6.0 and 6.8 for soil. The pH can be as low as 5.8 in hydroponic systems.
It is important to pH the flushing water to make sure that some metals and salts will be properly removed during the process.
Step 2: Water until the drainage runs clean
Water the plants until the drainage runs as clean as possible. At first, the water may be a murky, brown, or contain soil clumps. When properly flushed, drainage water should run clean.
It may be necessary to saturate the growing medium/container completely, then add more fresh water after it begins to drain.
Some growers go as far as to measure the total dissolved solids (TDS) in the drain off with a TDS meter. Though, this is not an essential tool for most home growers.
If measuring the TDS, numbers should drop down to 50 parts per million (PPM) of dissolved solids after flushing. It is recommended to keep flushing until numbers the numbers are reached.
Let the soil dry as normal. If needed, repeat the flushing process during the next watering. A grower will be able to tell if additional flushing is necessary by either measuring the TDS of additional runoff or by visually assessing the clarity of the drainage.
Be sure to take precautions to prevent excess humidity in the growing environment while the plants are wet. The last thing anyone wants is moldy bud right before harvest, so temperature control, air circulation, and proper ventilation are important here.
Step 3: Take time for the cure
After harvest, properly drying and curing the bud will further improve taste, harness, and overall smoking experience. The best results often come from slow drying and curing processes.
After harvest, hang drying or using a drying rack will help eliminate residual moisture. Many growers use fans to ensure proper air circulation and ventilation. Drying should happen away from risks of contamination, molds, and mildews.
Buds are moved from drying to curing when stems inside buds can be easily snapped. Curing in size-appropriate, wide-mouth mason jars is recommended. Placing a food-grade desiccant or a 62% humidity pack will help maintain optimal moisture levels while curing.
For more information on drying and curing, take a look at the full article here.

Sharepoint Getting Smarter - Few Yet Taking Advantage?
A pleasant start to my monday morning reading an interesting article from Expresscomputeronline.com over a coffee. This tech publication is one of India's longest running IT news sources, indeed they are in their 23rd year of publication and still going strong, but I digress.....
Their latest article that suggests advances in content management technology has made ECM (Enterprise Content Management) tools much smarter. Also that Sharepoint has been incorporating social features from online social communities such as Twitter and Facebook:
".....Products across software categories are taking a cue from services like Facebook and Twitter and incorporating elements from these social networking sites. Microsoft's SharePoint is loaded with social features like Box that connects users to relevant people, content and conversations....."
However the article also states that alas not many are taking advantage of these new social features.
".....except for a handful of vendors, not many are offering social intelligence unless they have been asked to include the same in their offering....."
I think this will change as vendors seek to harness the tidal wave of traffic that, if implemented correctly, social media can provide.

So I was thinking about that concept. Corporations cannot be trusted to do the right thing, thats for sure. (British Petroleum, factory farms, Big deforesting Loggers, etc) So I wonder if Strict Constitutional rule would really bear that out? In 2011, 235 years later.
Can you convert me? Libertarians? I'm not close minded.

Other dbs in the directory have about the same dates in stat. So if those dates are about right, I would have compacted around February 2012.

These DBs were so big that once I had the views built, I left them alone pretty much...they are an intermediate step in a manual map-reduce-collate operation, where several large DBs holding analysis output were compressed into one much smaller db. The machine has 8G of RAM. This is small by today's standards, but the thing is, it should not break a sweat on individual docs...100G split over 13 million docs isn't that big an average per doc. And if I could check how big the biggest doc is in the db...I'd do that. Is there a way to check?

Nearly all state workers are complying with a program that requires them to get regularly scheduled colonoscopies and other preventive screenings in the effort to reduce long-term medical costs.
The program met with some resistance last summer when Gov. Dannel P. Malloy rolled it out as part of a state employee concession package, as some workers feared it was part of a move toward more restrictive managed care.

From adding faux stone panels to even changing the nature of the sheets, you can create some great designs with these tips. This article will go over some killer design tips to help you.
The first, is change out your throws. Perhaps you have some faux stone panels up, and your winter theme is one color, but it's starting to feel drab. Do you ever have that? if you scan say yes to it, the easiest way to overcome this is to just swap out the throws and sheets for the season that you're in. this is simple, can be cheap, and it can change the way your home looks. It's a simple, yet effective, design solution.
The second, is try some strips. Strips are great to help keep a simple, yet chic sort of style. They're not super over the top, and you can use strips of different sizes and different colors to help keep a palette that is simple to feel modern. This is especially good if you have a bit of a boring and drab sort of color scheme, such as black or white, and you want to liven it up.
Then there is the seaside motif. This is one of the go-to ways to really help liven up a boring room. This is great for those that are looking to help offset a drab color scheme. If you have a lot of neutral colors, you can offset this with some seashell décor, or even a big seaside print. This will allow you to have an even better, much prettier home that you will feel good about, and one that also does have a bold statement attached to it.
Then there are prints. If you really want to create a very interesting sort of statement in your home. Try prints on prints. You will want to make sure that you have prints that mix well together and are paired well. You should also keep most of the colors in this beige, cream, or other neutral colors in order to make it work. But you can have prints on top of prints or with prints, and it does create a good design, you just have to make sure these said prints go well, but if you stick with a neutral colored palette and prints that don't look bad, then you will be fine.
All of these decorating tips will allow you to take a room filled with neutral colors and allow it to really look great. You can try these, make the most out of them, and really bring out the state of your home with these amazing sorts of colors and prints, and from there, you will have an even better home, and one that works.
