About Strathclyde Woodturners
Strathclyde Woodturners was formed in 2002 and is affiliated to the Association of Woodturners of Great Britain.
Amongst other aims, our constitution seeks to foster a greater awareness of the Turners' Art & Craft, and to promote the art of Woodturning amongst both Woodturners and the General Public. Consequently we have held, and will in the future, hold public demonstrations and exhibitions.
At various times we have been invited to participate in various woodland related events, where we demonstrate woodturning, and give hands-on experience. We have also been approached by other bodies, e.g. organisations for the physically disabled, such as the ALPHA Project, also the Scottish Prison Service, to provide assistance in training, rehabilitation etc.
Our present membership, which is open to all and includes members from as far afield as the Firth of Clyde, the Firth of Forth and Perthshire is now over 30. The number of persons attending our monthly meetings in Lenzie averages 20.

In retrospect, it would have helped if the Surinamese audience knew what a celebrity impressionist is.
Instead, the 1,500 or so fans in the antiquated Anthony Neste Stadium in Paramaribo, Suriname, did not readily know of this art form. They paid to see Toni Braxton. The real Toni Braxton. Miss Un-Break My Heart herself.
A tribute act? Most Surinamese music fans had never witnessed such a thing.
Therein began a legal odyssey that landed the unwitting Trina Johnson-Finn, who was to perform that tribute to Braxton, in a Surinamese jail for 104 days.
We'll note now that Johnson-Finn, today, is fine. Still amazed by it all, but feeling OK. A singer of ample dexterity, the 42-year-old Johnson-Finn has performed as a backup vocalist for Barbra Streisand, toured for five years with MC Hammer, and is a current member of the Sly & The Family Stone Band (an officially licensed act that, sadly, lacks Sly Stone).
Johnson-Finn is also a featured vocalist in the history-of-Vegas production "Vegas! The Show" at Saxe Theater at Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, which opens at the old Wyrick Theatre space Friday night. Her showcase numbers borrow from Gladys Knight ("Midnight Train to Georgia") and Tina Turner ("Proud Mary").
A Las Vegas resident for several years, Johnson-Finn made news in the most unusual and stunning fashion last year when she was arrested after taking the stage in a Braxton tribute show in Suriname, a former South American Dutch colony that sits just north of Brazil.
Officials accused Johnson-Finn of intentionally duping those who paid up to $53 apiece for tickets.
Those who turned up for the show were angry they were not watching Braxton, the former Flamingo headliner and "Dancing With the Stars" also-ran. They were led to believe Braxton herself would appear because slippery concert promoter Angel Ventura, operator of an outfit called Events for Suriname, promoted the show as a Braxton concert.
Johnson-Finn knew something was amiss that night by the time she started her second song, when she noticed looks of scorn on the faces of the fans in the front rows and boos began cascading on the stage. The disapproval was even more evident when fans started pelting the stage with glasses and beer bottles.
"The hair on my neck stood up," said Johnson-Finn, who had never encountered such an audience, during a phone interview Tuesday night. "I finally stopped the DJ, stopped the music, and said, 'We're going to stop the show.' So we stopped and we left the stadium, and by then the promoter was nowhere to be found."
Johnson-Finn was turned on to the gig by an agent who booked similar shows around the world. She didn't sense any particular danger in performing as Braxton in the coastal South American country.
"Just because it's a foreign country doesn't mean they don't appreciate entertainment," Johnson-Finn said. "It's not that unusual a venue, but I hadn't been there before and I didn't know anyone who had been there before."
Johnson-Finn and her husband, Raymond Finn, were questioned the next day in the town's police station, and again were detained at the airport two days after the show. With Ventura pulling his own impression – that of the vanishing David Copperfield – Trina and Raymond were jailed and charged with fraud. Raymond was allowed to leave after two weeks, which was a relief even though by then he'd lost his job as a realtor and would need to sell the family's assets to pay Trina's legal fees.
And for 4 ½ months, Johnson-Finn remained incarcerated.
"It was like being locked up in a very poor country, like Jamaica, if you can imagine that," she said. "It was very nasty, run-down. The toilet was not working (Johnson-Finn used a small metal bucket, which needed to be cleaned regularly), The rooms were just nasty. I had an old bed that was extremely hard. You showered by catching water coming out of the faucet in a bucket and washing down that way."
Johnson-Finn hired two local attorneys to appear for her court appearances, then hoped her story would unspool internationally. It did. Her case went to trial in May 2009, at which time Ventura – as if by magic! – re-appeared to face authorities.
"They said they found him, but I think he just turned himself in, and had probably paid a lot of people off to avoid taking responsibility for this," Johnson-Finn said. "I don't think there was any big manhunt for him. But the press this was generating internationally forced them to take a look at the real evidence, and we had a contract specifically stating I was a tribute act. (Ventura) basically got called out and had to turn himself in."
In court, Ventura confessed to fraud. He was sentenced to 2 ½ years in prison. Johnson-Finn was released and, coincidentally, her one-year anniversary of being set free was June 9, during rehearsals for "Vegas! The Show."
The whole bizarre episode would make a good movie. Realizing this, Trina and Raymond are working on a documentary film about the experience, as some footage of the region and events were captured on film. She's also still touring with the Family Stone act, and Saturday the band is part of the "JuneFest" lineup at South Point.
"Well, looking back on it now, it's a page in your life that you can't believe actually happened," the Johnson-Finn said. "You sort of step outside yourself and go, 'Was that even me?' But what I experienced was anger and sadness. Going through it was surreal, like, wow, this is really, really crazy. I was living in hell, I'd hit rock bottom. But the flip side is I've lived through a very negative thing, and since then I've done a lot in my career. I'm in a new show now and I'm as busy as ever."
It took about a year of healing and a lot of emotional and financial repair work, but Johnson-Finn can now laugh about the Suriname experience.
"I did a Google search on my name and it was like 2 million people had hit on my name," she said, laughing. "You need to get some serious street cred to do that."

Our Portrait Gallery.
The sketch I purpose presenting your readers with this week is that of one of the best known figures in the whole Thames district —Alex. Brodie, familiarly styled "King of the Waiotahi," and whose pretty cottage residence is known to all whose calling or inclination takes them up the Creek bearing that name. His whole time for many years past has been devoted to the public service. On the introduction of the Counties Act, Mr Brodie was chosen one of the representatives of the Siding in which his residence is 'situated, and|immediately afterwards was elected Chairman of the County, which position he has continued to fill up to the present time, all attempts to oust him therefrom reuniting in failure. Being well conversant with the laws of the Colony, especially those relating to Counties, Finance, and Public Works, hejis by many considered the beau ideal of a County Chairman. His burly and genial figure is perhaps better known in Wellington than that of most Honorable Members, as for some five years it was the custom of the Council over which he presides to send him down to the Empire City during the session to look after their interests ; and it is generally believed that he netted more spoil for his County by these periodical trips than any ordinary member of the House. Of late, however, the finances of the County have not been in a sufficiently flourishing condition to allow of the trip, and special votes and grants have necessarily, therefore, not been as plentiful as of yore. Mr Brodie is endowed with a gcod share of common sense, also a fair amount of ability, and possesses the comparatively rare merit in a publio man of being able to keep silent when circumstances require it. In the pursuit of aa object for the benefit of the County, or for his friends, the means adopted by him may sometimes be considered as open to adverse criticism by the censorious and strait-laced, bat to all such opinions hejis supremely indifferent to long as the end in his opinion justifies the means. He possesses qualities which fit fiim for a much higher position than County Chairman: as a party man ho would ba invaluable both to his party j nd to his constituent?. On two occasions he unsuccessfully contested the Coremandel Electorate, his candidature being damaged by the idea which was abroad that he was the nominee of a party— hence (to the undoubted loss of this district) the electors would have none of Lira. A lack of that quality which makes a public man lo be depended on has always stcod in the way of his advancement, as he bears the reputation of running with the hare and hunting with the hounds. He is a peculiar mixture—being most susceptible to public opinion, yet often doiog that which the public condemns. He likes to be on the winning side, and therefore is often reticent when his friends are spoken ill of, lest by taking their part he should peradventure be on the unpopular side. He can dissemble, and therefore be apparently friendly with the man he despises. Undoubtedly a firstolass interviewer—so good indeed as to have earned the soubriquet of the " Sturdy Beggar "—he is exceedingly tenacious; not easily refused, and consequently generally makes the best of any case be may have with Ministers. He it the terror of Under-Secretaries. He has undoubtedly done good work for the County, of which he is the head; and if they did not make a better use of the money obtained by his skilful management, he certainly:should not be blamed for it —any more than the maladministration of funds by Government should be laid upon Vogel.Jwhom he in some respect resembles. Mr Brodie's ingenuity and pertinacity were well exemplified in his efforts put forth to prevent the dismemberment of the Thames County by the secession of the Ohinemuri portion of it. The inhabitants fought hard for separation, and many a time victory seemed almost within their grasp, but only to be wrested from them by some little error or legal technicality, while ail the time Mr Brodie never appeared in the matter save than »s County Chairman, and as always willing to comply with the wishes of the people. Mr Brodie is essentially a social individual; sometimes even convivial; is always polite, always attentive,
but not always sincere. A useful member of society, taking a prominent part in all matters affecting the public welfare, and ever on the alert to secure benefit for the community, as a whole. In the pursuit of material wealth, careless and indifferent; unselfish by nature, and liberal to a fault. Altogether a man, who if not as successful in the race of life as his friends be« lieve with his abilities be might have been, yet one who possesses many of the virtues neutralized by some of the weaknesses of humanity, but still one who would be greatly missed upon the Thames. May his shadow never grow less! Junius.

text: NILES -- It was as close to Mother Earth as Robert Thibodeaux had ever been. "I presume I was about an inch from desertion. I dug down as far as I could,'' the 82-year-old Niles man said, recalling his predicament Feb. 19, 1945, when he and some 30,000 fellow Marines hit the beach on Iwo Jima. The Marines were intent on securing the island's airfields, and the Japanese defenders, deeply entrenched in tunnels, were just as intent on holding on to them. A native of Branch, La., Thibodeaux had observed his 20th birthday just two months before. Iwo would be his first, and last, action of World War II, yet he said he wasn't scared as he watched the ripples surface near his landing craft. Believing initially the ripples were from fish, he said they actually were created by enemy shells. "I was wondering what was going on, what would happen next. I didn't really think about the gravity of the situation,'' he said. A machine gunner with the 5th Division of the 28th Marine Regiment, Thibodeaux dashed to the fringe of the island's foliage and dug furiously into the volcanic ash. In short order, he had some of the terrain on top of him as well. "That afternoon, something hit behind me. ... It was a phosphorous shell that hadn't gone off. If it had, I wouldn't be here today,'' he said. He said he remained in the foxhole two days, helping plug the Marines' last line of protection in the assault. Occasionally, he left his position, at one point attempting to strike up a conversation with a fellow Marine. "This guy was lying there ... so I reached over and my hand got wet. It was full of blood,'' he said. "I got scared then. I realized this is dangerous.'' In the early stages of the 35-day battle, Thibodeaux took a position at the base of Mount Suribachi. As he sprayed machine gun fire up and down the mountain, attempting to kick up smoke from a pillbox so it could be pinpointed by artillery, he realized the Marines were in for a long fight. "I lost faith in the 8-inch guns on the ships when I saw one of the shells ricochet off a Japanese pillbox. Those things were 18 inches thick,'' he said. He said his respect for the Japanese soldiers deepened as the battle continued. "When they were given an order, they either fulfilled that command or they died trying,'' he said. "The only ones that surrendered were when we'd run over their pillboxes and they'd have no other way out. Either they'd come out or we burned them out. "Those flame throwers, the Japanese ... they feared those more than anything.'' More than 20,000 of the roughly 22,000 Japanese soldiers on the island paid the ultimate price for their stand. The Marines lost nearly 7,000 men and had another 19,189 wounded. The engagement marked the only battle of World War II in which Allied forces had more casualties (killed and wounded) than the Japanese. After serving in Japan as part of the Allied occupying force, Thibodeaux returned to the United States. He ended up in Niles after finding work at the former Bendix plant in South Bend. It was at Bendix where he met his wife of 57 years, Betty. A mother of four, Betty said her husband seldom talks about his war experiences. Thibodeaux agreed the war isn't his favorite subject. "I think this is the most I've talked about it since I've been back,'' he said. He said he saw Clint Eastwood's movie "Flags of Our Fathers,'' finding it realistic, but he hasn't seen its sister film, "Letters From Iwo Jima,'' that provides the Japanese perspective. "Flags of Our Fathers'' brought back memories, few of them pleasant. "I wouldn't give you a million dollars for my experience, but I wouldn't give a plug nickel to go again,'' he said.

SOUTH LOS ANGELES --An overnight pursuit through south Los Angeles ended with one man in custody.LAPD officers tried to pull the man over for reckless driving. He instead took officers on a high speed pursuit all the way to San Pedro, where he drove off the road, over the rocks and right into the L.A. harbor.
But the pursuit didn't end there. Police say the man got out of the car, stood on the roof of his minivan and took off swimming.
Officers in a nearby boat were able to coax him into giving himself up.

Even the most placid of dogs can bite and it is difficult to know what provokes them sometimes. Unfortunately a dog is more likely to attack someone who is afraid of them than they are a confident handler as the fearful person's reaction can inadvertently provoke them.
Usually a dog bite will cause a minor injury, being more frightening than actually painful or dangerous, but if you suffer a more serious attack you should consider taking action against the owner.
If you or perhaps your child has been bitten then your first consideration must be first aid. Clean the wound under running water, and if the skin has been broken encourage the wound to bleed a little by squeezing it. This will help wash away any potential infection. Unless the bite is minor you should get it checked by a doctor, avoiding infection will be their priority too.
There are as many as a quarter of a million reported dog bites annually in the UK, the vast majority of these are at the family home and involve children. The law currently holds the owner responsible for dog's behaviour in a public place, but does not act in the case of a dog's poor behaviour in the home. There are frequent calls for this to change to hold the owner responsible in all cases and recently action against owners has become more severe with offences carrying stiffer penalties.
How do I claim if I have been bitten by a dog?
Keep a record and receipts for any costs you incur as a result of the attack. Once you have had the appropriate medical treatment it's time to talk to a Personal Injury lawyer to understand whether you should claim compensation. At Edwards Hoyle our specialists will advise you whether to claim, and if we advise you to go ahead we will accept your case on a no win no fee basis.
What if the owner doesn't have insurance?
Most responsible dog owners have pet insurance that helps them cover their vet's bills, but also, just as importantly gives them third party insurance should their animal cause damage or injury to other persons or property.
In some instances where there is no specific pet insurance the pet may still be covered under a household policy.
If you are bitten by an insured animal then it will be the insurer who we will claim your damages from. If the animal is not insured then the claim becomes more difficult as any claim for damages will be against the owner who may not have the means to pay.
Will I have to pay fees for my claim after being bitten by a dog?
If we accept your case we will do so on a no win no fee basis. This means that provided your case is successful you will receive 100% of any damages awarded, and in the unlikely event that the claim is not successful you will not have any fees to pay.

Background on the Project
Research indicates that children with ASDs are not diagnosed, on average, until 13 months after their initial screening by a qualified professional (Wiggins, Bajo & Rice, 2006). This is in part due to lengthy waiting lists for diagnostic evaluations, which ultimately delay entry of children into services. Further, idiosyncratic diagnostic evaluations lead to the need for the replication of an evaluation and unnecessary cost and time expenditure, as well as increased worry for parents when both false positive and false negative diagnoses are generated. In order to streamline the diagnostic evaluation of children with suspected ASDs, states have developed standardized yet flexible approaches to evaluating children and have defined acceptable approaches to diagnosis within their state. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have developed Autism A.L.A.R.M. Guidelines, which provide a surveillance and screening algorithm and lay the foundation upon which the work of the Connecticut team will be based. In addition, Missouri and California have convened working groups to define best practice within the context of existing resources so that children who qualify for ASDs diagnosis can move quickly into receiving intervention.
In 2007, a partnership was formed between the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) at the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the Association for University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) to implement the "Act Early" Regional Summit Project. The vision of the project, supported by the Learn the Signs Act Early Campaign and the Combating Autism Act, was to bring together leaders from the early intervention and early childhood community for the purpose of enhancing relationships and collaborations between key leaders in the state.
Developing Best Practices Guidelines
The Act Early Connecticut Best Practices group intends to engage in the following activities toward the development of diagnostic guidelines: convene a legislative forum, develop a draft document of the proposed guidelines, disseminate the draft guidelines to an expert panel, including members of the Act Early Connecticut Team, and print and distribute the guidelines.
As a result of developing best practice guidelines for a diagnostic evaluation of ASDs that is recognized and implemented by providers, the care of children with developmental delays will be streamlined. With children more accurately diagnosed at an earlier age, access to intervention should occur in a more timely fashion.
Raising Awareness of the Need for Early Screening, Diagnosis and Intervention
The Awareness Team's efforts have centered on disseminating the CDC "Learn the Signs, Act Early" campaign materials at conferences and through a targeted mailing campaign. Materials from the CDC on recognizing developmental delays along with Connecticut-specific information will be sent to core groups throughout the state: medical providers, licensed family day cares, and licensed group day care centers, including nursery schools.
Data provided by the State Department of Heath indicates that there are 2,687 Family Day Cares and 1,589 Group Day Cares, for a total of 4,276 facilities. This represents a total of 113,734 children potentially being served with information on early identification of developmental delays in Connecticut. Data on whether additional material is requested will help to determine the effectiveness of the process and indicate whether further targeted mailing should be implemented. With children accurately identified as potentially at risk, access to early intervention might decrease the long term effects of any delays.

"Hold on for dear life!"
That's the warning from the sailors aboard the 45-foot racing catamarans that you'll see slicing through whitecaps next week, when the America's Cup World Series brings the thrills and spills of the world's most exciting racing to San Francisco Bay.
Imagine a white-knuckle drag race on the back of a bucking a bronco — with winds whipping up at nearly 20 mph and a firehose of salt water battering over the bow. The signature America's Cup races are still a year away, but 11 catamarans from eight countries will be on the bay next week offering a taste of the drama that's to come.
And if you position yourself right, you might even see and hear Oracle CEO Larry Ellison — wearing a crash helmet like the rest of the crew — calling the shots from onboard.
On Wednesday, Ellison's racing team showed reporters and even San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee just what it's like out there on a high-tech carbon fiber boat with a main sail reaching 70 feet into the air. A year of racing in different ports around the world have shown these sailors to expect anything but a smooth ride.
"Every team that's been out has tipped it over and broken stuff," said Dirk De Ridder, Oracle crew member. "There will be some damage this week for sure. I'll put money on it."
Starting next Wednesday, spectators can line the bay at Marina Green where a mini-America's Cup village will feature big screen TVs and front-row views of the action for free.
The 45-foot catamarans — smaller than the 72-footers that will race next summer — will be competing so fast and close to shore, one official says, "you can almost touch them."
The so-called America's Cup World Series will prove whether Ellison can deliver what he's promised: an exhilarating experience for spectators both on shore and on TV. Far from a stodgy, elitist sport for the ascot crowd with yachts lumbering far out to sea, racing in the bay this summer and next will be closer to "NASCAR on the water," said Stephen Barclay, CEO of the America's Cup Event Authority.
And if a past misadventure is a preview of the drama ahead, the World Series just might come through. During an early practice sail on the bay last year, Russell Coutts, the winningest America's Cup skipper in history and the CEO of Ellison's Oracle Team USA, capsized one of the twin-hulled catamaran's end-over-end in stiff bay winds. He not only plunged from the helm in a 30-foot freefall, but crashed headfirst through the main sail into the frigid bay waters.
"I think you'll see a lot of that next week," Coutts said in an interview Wednesday before a practice run. "If you make a mistake, you get punished."
The Swedish team already capsized once this week.
Four Olympic medalists fresh from London will compete next week, including four-time gold medalist Ben Ainslie who carried the British flag into closing ceremonies. His credentials are impressive, but his experience on the temperamental AC45 is limited.
"I think he'll be a little bit scared," said Kimball Livingston, an editor-at-large for Sail Magazine. "I think all these guys as they get into it are a little bit scared — and for good reason. You can hurt yourself."
Along with Ainslie racing for Great Britain, other medalists sailing next week will be aboard boats representing Oracle's Team USA, Team Korea and Artemis Racing of Sweden. Teams from New Zealand, China, Italy and France will also be competing.
"I can't understand how it could not thrill a crowd. You look out there and see it, most people who look at it will find it pretty exciting," Livingston said. "What's been hard is we're all suffering from anticipation fatigue. It's been a very long build-up."
Ellison, who learned to sail as a young man at Berkeley's Cal Sailing Club, has essentially reinvented the America's Cup since his Oracle Team USA won the oldest active trophy in international sports history in 2010 against the Swiss boat Alinghi. That victory earned him the right to bring the regatta back to American shores. He chose the San Francisco Bay, a natural amphitheater and "racetrack," as organizers like to call it, where spectators can ring the racecourse — the first time in America's Cup history the race will be sailed so close to shore.
Not only did Ellison change the type of boat everyone must build to compete next summer — a 72-foot catamaran — his team also designed a 45-foot version and created a "world series" for competitors to practice, build spectator interest and extend the America's Cup season for sailors and sponsors.
In partnership with the city, the America's Cup Event Authority has started to transform parts of the Embarcadero for a headquarters and an America's Cup Village.
Still, despite the hype and planning, only four teams will compete in the bigger boats next summer as part of the Louis Vuitton Cup, the race that determines who will take on defending champion Oracle Racing for the America's Cup trophy.
"Without a doubt the economic climate has been challenging," Barclay said. "That's why there are four challengers and not 11."
But 11 boats will be lining up for next week's World Series, including France who only recently announced they couldn't afford to compete in the main event next summer.
"We've got the best sailors in the fastest boats," said Tom Ehman, vice commodore of the Golden Gate Yacht Club. "And that's the bottom line."

Hi there!
A very quick but fun tutorial this time: Lets build a trivia game for opensim.
First you will need to download a script and some notecards.
Un-zip the trivia.zip file in a folder on your HD where you can find it.
You will find 6 files in it:
- Trivia Script.lsl <=The actual script that does stuff.
- 5 *.txt files with questions and answers.
Now the most important part of this tutorial.
Create 5 notecards in your inventory and name them like this:
The naming is very important! Do not change the names, don't use lowercase letters where there should be uppercase letters etc. (Trivia_Brain_1 = Good, trivia_brain_1 = wrong, I think the world explodes if you get this wrong, not sure though.)
Open the trivia text files on your hard drive, and copy and paste the content of these text files in the notecards you have created earlier.
Create a new script in your inventory and name it Trivia Script or, better, Cool-trivia-script-form-this-awesome-website-http-oddy.nl.
Open the trivia script.lsl file with notepad and copy/paste it in the newly created script in your inventory.
Now we have the script and some notecards in our inventory, next thing we should do is build a 'thing' that looks cool. So rezz some prims, add particles, a slow prim rotation script, etc, etc. Make a cool looking trivia machine! I used 2 simple bars with sculpted letters in it. (you can find my trivia game in Metropolis on my region Odds Playground, look for Scriptworkz:-) )
If you are happy with your trivia object, link it all together and put the notecards and script in it. And your ready!
The owner can turn the game on or off by touching it.
If you are curious about the syntax, here is a description of the notecard syntax:
category represents a trivia category like Arts or Sciences. This will prefix the question that the trivia engine will ask.
possible answer 1 through possible answer N represent the possible answers that the trivia engine will accept as being valid for the question.
question is simply the question that the trivia engine will ask on the main chat.
There are also some useful comments in the script: read them!
Have fun!

As the nights draw in and inky-black skies beckon ever-earlier, there seems little respite from the growing realisation that summer is well and truly over. But in a flourish of earthy hues and delectable textures, cosmetic houses have gently re-ignited our passion for the joys of the colder months. We're shunning summer shades for the pinched cheeks, welly walks, and softly burning embers that Autumn-Winter has to offer.
Lloyd Simmonds certainly had this in mind when creating the YSL A/W 11 range. In a nod to Autumnal inspiration, he says "the thing that moves me the most is nature itself," embracing the rusts, coppers and aubergines of natural pigment. Blush Radiance perfectly captures autumn light with an indulgently half-matte, half-satin texture that transforms pasty pallor into prettily flushed faces. These contrasting textures are reminiscent of fallen leaves and the divine combination of smooth and crunch beneath booted feet.

What Should I Do??? Please HELP!!!
I need some guidance I know I should follow my heart and do what is best for my children, but giving that said. I am a single mother of three kids ages 9, 6, and 4. I am a survivor of mental, verbal, and physical abuse, up until March 17, 2009. For 9 years I sacrificed by soul to keep my family. I learned that it was causing more damage to stay there and be abused then to leave and take my kids to a healthy environment. I took my children and myself from the dysfunction. In doing that there has been a lot of chaos between us both and has caused a lot of grief. I am at a point in my life where I no longer want negative people around me. I have developed a sane mentality and want to continue down this positive path. We share rights to our children through court. He has them every other weekend and Tuesday and Wednesday nights. I have been very lenient with his schedule and changing it at his own convenience. This leaves me with no personal window for myself, which is fine because I am the mother and that's what mothers do. It has been expressed through a text that he no longer wishes for the children to be in his life due to an argument between him and I over this weekend visitation. This weekend April 9, is his birthday and he asked if he could not have his kids this weekend I agreed to Saturday and Sunday but not Friday April 8, as to my prior engagements. He went crazy saying that he doesn't need his kids and using major profanity towards me. He also expressed to take his parental rights and so forth. With this said I am tired of dealing with the games. My children are not pawns to be played with on a game of chess. They are little souls who are looking for love from their parents.
My concern is giving my kids no option in seeing their father anymore. He continues to taunt me and I am just tired of the verbal abuse. With this I feel I should proceed forward in revoking his parental rights as he wishes and not deal with him any longer. I have proven fact that he stated this and if I take it too court it will stand. I do not really want to go about this but he is leaving me no other choice. Will I regret this decision and will my children hate me for this decision made on behalf of them? Should I let things cool off, understanding that I am no longer up for threats and taunts I am done dealing with an unstable human being and allowing him to influence our children negatively. Please help any suggestion………..???
Dump the bum Bella. It could get a lot worse than it is now.Move far away if you can and start over. I was in a similar situation with a wife that didn't give a rats ass about me or our four children. I finally packed them up and moved to Florida. It was the only choice I had. I didn't want it that way but after 18 years of her ignoring us, I'd had enough. Things worked out well and they will for you too. It sounds like your a good mom and you got what it takes. Good luck...
Also a quote on FREEDOM:
"Freedom is a gift given to you by God, and such a gift cannot be taken away by any man, woman or child. Likewise, it is not a gift that you must earn that you may possess it; it is in fact not something that you can possess at all. Free is what you are, every aspect of your physical and spritual being dictates this.
As an energetic being you are the living affirmation of God's will, which is that you create new life with each and every breath; that you forge a new and brighter path with each and every step; that you learn to see and love the kingdom that you have created for yourself with each and every look.
In short: that you live each moment in full appreciation of the fact that you are free to experience it in any way that you wish to. A moment of doing so creates wonder. A day of doing so creates belief. A month of doing so creates a student. A lifetime of doing so creates a Master.
God wishes only that you go forth, all of you, and become Masters."
(Facebook quote: selFirst - Center for Energetic and Spiritual Health)
My spiritual thoughts to you, dear bellawritter23.
Below are some quotes from a website which I find are very beautiful and wise:
"Loving Your Children: Focus on their strengths and not their weaknesses, on health and not illness, on raising them up and not bringing them down. Let the strengths cure the weaknesses, the health cure the illnesses and let the love which raises them up carry them when they are down."
(Facebook quote: selFirst - Center for Energetic and Spiritual Health)
Growing up, this is something that I have had to deal with, and coping with it is something I could not do. At times I would let it roll of my shoulder because of the pain that my mother has cause me in my lifetime, but the fact remains, that I love my mother. I love her more than any father figure. Even in times where I sided with my dad when my mother would cause me to be angry, it would be only temporary. Now they are separated because of his insecurities, and she is away from all the verbal and mental abuse. I know that my mom tried to hang on also, but when the bad starts to outweigh itself in a relationship and BOTH partners aren't trying to mend the break, then it will never work. In the future, I believe that your children won't be hindered by this decision, and when the time is right, there will be a time of explanation and understanding, but the decision is yours no matter what opinion they will form in the future.
I must say that is quite a hard situation to be in. I can see how you don't want them to hate you but you also have to do whats best for you and them. Maybe talk to your kids ask them what they feel or want. I always said I would never keep my kids from seeing their dad, but if I found out he was hurting them mentally, physically, or emotionally, I would talk to him possibly with a switzerland person someone who is neutral, and if that didnt work and he proceeded to show his ass , in a freakin heartbeat it would be done. Kids will forgive in time when they understand. I wish you luck, with this. Blessings
I know your kids are still small, but how do they feel about their dad? In a manner that only a mother could do, I would suggest thath you test the watyer with your kids. Then, follow your motherly instinct and do what you feel is right. Your gut feeling is normally the right feeling.
You know, if he says he doesn't want your kids, he probably isn't going out of his way to be a good dad when he does have them. Maybe it is time to beak ties with him. Or at least give him only once a month visitation or something. I suggest contacting a counselor (or attorney maybe) who could help with this.
Bella, I have been where you are and I would say get away from him as soon as possible. Abusers don't get better and you don't have any way to know exactly how well he cares for the children when they with him. While he has said this is what he wants I would bet money if you get full custody you probably still haven't heard the last from him. I am sorry you are having to live through this terrible time. I know it is extremely stressful and it affects the children as well. Ultimately you have to do what your gut tells you as I am only sharing my personal experience. I wish you the best. God Bless.
Bella, I know that you are hurting and I know that it is hard to think about the pain that this man has caused you. However, you cannot go to his level, you cannot feed into his drama. You need to focus on keeping yourself and your children healthy. That means physically, mentally and spiritually. Pray about it. Ask God to give you the answers you seek, he will surely give you exactly what you NEED. You and your children are in my prayers. God Bless.
Be strong, he doesn't deserve them. I love the poem you've just written about them - brilliant.
Bella my heart bleeds for you, you have suffered enough. I do not know about such things from experience but my heart tells me that for your sake and for the sake of your children, you should be entirely free from this hateful man. He is indeed using your children as pawns in his game. Only you know if your children look forward to being with their father and seeing him. I however, would suggest a clean break and then when they are older they may decide for themselves whether they wish to be a part of his life. A healthy loving Mum is who they truly need.
You need and so deserve happiness. Your heart is so full of love and in the fullness of time you will know that you made the right decision.
Hugs Bella.
Lots of love Acaetnna
I was walking down the street today and passed a yard with a chain link fence. The family dog came out and barked and barked. As long as I felt no danger from the dog, the barking was just noise.
And you have to ask yourself, if your children are in any danger? If so your questions answers themselves. Or another angle, do the children love the dog. If so try to remain flexible.

Second hand?
This page says second hand clothes should be tagged as shop=second_hand while that page tells to use shop=clothes ("more specific"). I agree, more detail is needed, because shop=second_hand could be computer, book, whatever. Stats:
- shop=second_hand : 541 (don't know if they are clothes)
- shop=clothes : 15650 (don't know if they are second hand) (I use this tag)
- clothes=second_hand : 2
These tags don't give option to tag a second hand computer shop, for example. I would propose a second_hand=yes tag that can be applied on anything, without reserving the place from actual detail value.

Thanks. The information on this page was helpful. logictheo 16:31, 17 August 2010 (BST)
Suggest adding clothes=accessories
Somebody asked the question 'Which tag to use for accessorise shop?'. "Accessorize" is a chain of shops throughout the UK selling fashion accessories, i.e. necklaces, bangles, earrings, scarfs, ties, hat, handbags and other bits of fashion extras. I've recommended mapping this as shop=clothes, clothes=accessories, name=Accessorize so I guess I should suggest we add it here -- Harry Wood 21:22, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
The wiki discourages to use clothes=shoes. I think this does not work properly in case of multiple values at clothes=* e.g. clothes=suits;fashion. What if a shop sells besides suits and fashion shoes, too? I prefer to use shoes at clothes, since otherwise it is not possible to provide any tagging (shop=shoes not possible, because shop=clothes already exists). --U715371 (talk) 10:59, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
Suggestion for evening dresses
I found that shops, where wedding clothes are sold, do often sell evening dresses, too. But I guess that those items are sold at many other places, too. Does it make sense to you to use a tag like clothes=evening_dresses?--U715371 (talk) 06:30, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
I suggest to add this tag for place where you can print on your clothes (tshirt, hat, ...)

The constitution literally allowed slaves to be shipped over from Africa, so we can assume it didn't contain anything whatsoever to prevent racial profiling. Furthermore, none of the amendments (I reviewed them all) does anything to prevent racial profiling. Therefore, racial profiling is constitutional, whether out agree with it or not.
No, racial profiling is not necessary at all. It is discriminatory. It targets individuals for suspicion of crime based on the race, ethnicity, national origin and even religion. Trump is xenophobic and in his campaign he has repeated said "Make America great again", aiming at the "immigrants". Look at how many innocent people who have been beaten, or even shot, to death, because of racial profiling. America was discriminatory in 1960s and repeating history does not make it great again.
The constitution says that "all men are created equal" but during times of war the U.S. has made some severe decisions to protect the country's security. One example was the internment camps for Japanese Americans. If we feel threatened, if may be necessary to discriminate racially in order to protect the nation.
Racial profiling is unconstitutional regardless of who is being profiled. It doesn't matter if it's a Black make driving a car or a Arabic man on a plane. It is unfair to make assumptions about someone based on the color of their skin. A person ethnicity should never automatically make them a target of unjust behavior.
Racial profiling is discriminatory, our country has a bad history of racial profiling; Japanese internment camps and racism against African Americans during the 1950s and 1960s is a dark stain on this country's history. It is also a stain on America's honor, how do you think foreign countries will view us if we are targeting Mexicans, Muslims, etc. for unjust attacks?
Racial profiling is not constitutional. The constitution ensures equal rights and treatment for all Americans, regardless of their race or religion. Profiling groups based on their race or religion would be wrong. In fact, it would further deepen divisions in American culture; thus hurting our efforts to fight terrorism. Instead of profiling, law enforcement should be partnering with every community to combat violence.

What to expect from Microsoft's E3 presentation
Early signs are that Microsoft's E3 presentation will continue to push the Xbox 360 and its hands-free Kinect Sensor as an all-around destination for games, music, TV and movies.india Updated: May 31, 2012 18:36 IST
Early signs are that Microsoft's E3 presentation will continue to push the Xbox 360 and its hands-free Kinect Sensor as an all-around destination for games, music, TV and movies.
That means more services -- music, movies, sports and TV apps -- more uses for the Xbox 360's Kinect Sensor, and even some links with Windows phones and the upcoming Windows 8 operating system.
In terms of games, expect new material for shooter Halo 4, driving game Forza Horizon, and adventure Fable: The Journey, all of which have been confirmed for the show, and strong support for voice- or motion-controlled titles such as Harry Potter for Kinect.
Microsoft has traditionally enjoyed a cosy relationship with the Call of Duty games, and it would be one of the show's biggest surprises if Black Ops II didn't turn up on Monday.
GameTrailers' Geoff Keighley is claiming the inside line on six other publishers to be invited on stage, with "world premieres" given to Capcom, EA Sports, Harmonix, Square-Enix, THQ and Ubisoft -- premieres if only because Microsoft is first in front of the cameras, before EA, Sony, Ubisoft and Nintendo.
Smart money is on Resident Evil 6 (Capcom), Kinect integration for the FIFA, Madden and NBA franchises (EA Sports), Dance Central 3 (Harmonix), plus Hitman: Absolution, Tomb Raider, and a Kinect-enabled Mini Ninjas (Square-Enix), with THQ and Ubisoft a little harder to call.
There'll be impressive statistics galore, with millions of new users, millions of Kinects sold, millions of hours spent on Facebook, YouTube, and watching film and TV via Xbox Live. Microsoft will be confident that the Xbox 360 reigns supreme, in the USA at least.
While an appearance for the next Xbox has been ruled out when the 360's still doing so well, there'll be a cheaper way in to the Xbox family on a mobile phone style contract: a $99 console with 2 years' Xbox Live membership at $15 per month.
The presentation takes place in Los Angeles, starting at 9:30 am local time, 12:30pm in New York, 5:30pm in London, 6:30pm in Central Europe and 1:30am the next day in Japan

It's looking like there could be a deal in the works in which Hans Reiser, the Linux programmer convicted in April of murdering his estranged wife, would lead authorities to her body in exchange for a reduced sentence. That's according a Wired report confirmed in part Friday by the prosecutor in the case, Alameda County District Attorney Tom Orloff.
"The defense has made overtures" to that effect, Orloff told CNET News.com Friday, declining to comment further because "it's still very preliminary."
In April, following a drama-filled six-month trial, a jury found Reiser, 44, guilty of first-degree murder in the 2006 killing of Nina Reiser, with whom he was undergoing a bitter divorce. Reiser is currently behind held without bail pending his sentencing scheduled for July 9.
Reiser is known to the technology world as the founder of the ReiserFS file system software, which is available for Linux. Nina Reiser, then 31, was last seen alive on September 3, 2006, in Oakland, Calif., as she was dropping off the couple's two children for the Labor Day weekend. Despite exhaustive searches by authorities, Nina's body has never been found.
Throughout the trial, Reiser maintained his innocence. Arguing the so-called "geek defense," his attorney maintained that while Reiser may be strange, arrogant, even abnormal, his odd behavior following Nina's disappearance wasn't evidence of murder.
A completely different story may unfold, however, if the potential deal in the works comes to fruition. Wired writer David Kravets quotes an anonymous source familiar with the deal who says Reiser's cooperation could reduce his April conviction from first-degree murder to second degree. A second-degree conviction in California carries a mandatory sentence of 15 years to life, Kravets wrote.
And the deal "would be off if an autopsy of the body somehow demonstrated that it was first-degree, premeditated murder with, for example, 'two bullet holes to the back of the head,'" Kravets wrote, quoting the source.

"When I was growing up, Christmas Eve meant three things: family, presents, and Gram's lasagne! Holidays were all about spending time as a family and enjoying a great meal around the table. Christmas Eve was no exception. I would go so far as to say that holiday meals played a big role in my decision to become a chef. The best memories of my childhood are from spending Christmas Eve with close family, enjoying each other's company and a great meal prepared by my Grandmother."

I'd say I am somewhat spoiled. I've been in Florida now for just under 20 years, and I have happily gotten used to winters with 58 degree mornings, roses blooming in January, no snow, no ice, no blizzards and no itchy wooly underwear.
I like being able to go to the beach just to watch the birds and breathe in the salty air whenever I feel like it. I thought, when I moved here, that I would always be able to do that - just go to the beach and sit whenever I pleased. I haven't done enough of that. Other things always get in the way -- because when you live here, you know you can always go, so this sort of little pleasure is often kicked aside. When I moved here, I told my kids I was picking my retirement spot early, that I was moving here to stay.
It was here, in the Tampa Bay area of Florida, that I started to create a new life for myself. I went to college. Got my Associate's degree, then my Bachelor's. Discovered that I still had a knack for writing (Sometimes during years of wifehood and motherhood, skills and talents get forgotten. ) I was evolving into someone I really wanted to be. I finally had a job I enjoyed with a company I was proud to be part of. I had a sense of capability, of independence, of being in charge of my own life. I was creating a local reputation as a poet, and learned the skills and nuances of public presentation. I was finding causes to support, and, though I am not one to make a flock of friends, I was friendly with most everyone, and enjoyed the bond of friendship with a few select people. Found love a time or two, found like a few times more, and have had friends die and move away. I've been disappointed and outright stunned, I've been hopeful and a diehard believer. I've loved living here.
My daughter (and her kids) came to Florida some time ago, stayed a while, fell in love and married and doubled my inventory of grandkids.
My daughter picked up her family and moved back to the roots she remembered and was familiar with in Wisconsin. I've missed her a lot since she's gone, and the kids -- growing up in a place I had visited a time or two and knew not at all, but for the climate. But Jinger is a snow-bunny. Jinger always loved snow and the more vigorous change of seasons that happens in Wisconsin. She needed to find her own place, and Wisconsin was it. Taran came and went and came and went in Florida. He had been growing up in Trinidad, and the climate in Florida suited him far better than that in the northern states where he was born and spent his early childhood. He joined the Navy here and spent some time in Orlando before going to his Great Lakes post, then he went South again until his father's health dragged him North again. Then back to Orlando, then to Clearwater to work for a time at the same company as I. I think, sometimes, that working there changed the direction of his life. He found a place where he was appreciated, not just for what he knew and his ability to get a job done, but for his ability to think, to learn, to grow. And he outgrew the place. Eventually he returned to Trinidad - a gap I cannot seem to close even to see him and do the motherly pride thing. He's been back to visit, but these days the world is his teacher, and he freelances his abilities and is constantly learning more, implementing more, and one day he'll be back again - most likely to visit. I don't believe he will set down roots in Florida again. And Dusty. Dusty's visited Florida, but his roots and family are in Pennsylvania. I doubt he and his wife will consider Florida until they are old and in need of the constant warmth.
But there are many kinds of warmth. Of late, I have lost two friends within a week of one another, both to pneumonia. Florida is no safeguard against illness. The friends I have left are busily into their own lives, as they should be. I am most often left to my own devices, which, since I lost my mind in 2001 to a sort of accumulative breakdown, are narrow and of the self-serving type one uses as one tries to mend. I've gotten much better, mind you -- but I am aware that I am not "well" yet, and while working toward that end, I do have to make allowances for what I cannot do anymore, forgiving myself for the inabilities that thwart me. It isn't easy, and while my friends have ruffled their feathers from time to time, they have stood by me and I am grateful for that. But I need more.
When my daughter calls, I immediately calm. There is nothing like her stories of her job, her family, her life, always seasoned with her laughter, to make me smile and -- miss her all the more. I have been visiting to Wisconsin in the early summer, several times in the last few years, and each return to Florida I miss her and the girls more. Now when she calls, I know some of the people she talks about. I've actually made friends with some of them. I can picture in my mind the setting for her stories.
When my granddaughters call, I can see them in their environments in my mind's eye. They are young women now, with husbands and children (though husbands and children are not evenly divided among them) and each has her successes, each has her challenges. I've met three out of four of my great grandchildren, and I miss knowing the littlest one, the one with the serious face, the one so very tiny , as my daughter was as a baby. The oldest one, a little boy with incredible dimples, is four now. I've caught myself imagining me teaching him where his five fingers go on piano keys.
I've thought of moving to Wisconsin.
I've thought about it for several years now.

SU baseball set for eighth NCAA regional appearance in 9 seasons
WINCHESTER – Shenandoah University's baseball team has made itself a mainstay in the NCAA Division III baseball tournament in recent years, and the Hornets will continue that tradition this spring.
The Hornets, who spent six weeks ranked atop at least one of the two major Division III national polls during the regular season, were awarded the second seed in the Mid-Atlantic Regional in York, Pennsylvania, as a Pool C (at-large) selection and will open play at 7:45 p.m. Thursday against No. 7 SUNY Maritime College.
This season marks the eighth time Shenandoah has earned a spot in the NCAA tournament in the last nine years.
"It really starts with coaching and the guys who played before us. That's just the expectation, you know," Hornets senior designated hitter Jake Loew said Tuesday morning. "I've been fortunate enough to go three years and to be able to go a fourth is great, but we're not just trying to go. We're trying to go and advance and really just compete. We don't want this to be our last couple games of the year. We wanna finish our season in Appleton (Wisconsin, the site of the NCAA Division III World Series)."
SU (38-6), ranked 10th in both the ABCA and D3baseball.com polls, hasn't advanced to the World Series since making back-to-back trips in 2009 and 2010 and will need to get through an eight-team York Regional – which includes No. 1 Johns Hopkins, No. 3 Wheaton (Massachusetts), No. 4 Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), No. 5 Alvernia, No. 6 Elizabethtown and No. 8 Lesley – in order to do so this season.
Of SU's seven regional opponents, the Hornets have only played Elizabethtown this season, a matchup on March 1 that ended in Shenandoah's 9-4 win. Outside of three playoff games against Johns Hopkins in 2009 and 2010, the Hornets have never played a baseball game against the rest of the regional field.
"I know as soon as we got the call of where we're going, (assistant coach Jacob Mays) was up 'til 4 a.m. studying our opponents," Loew said. "We have scouting reports on every team. We have a couple common opponents, which helps, but when it comes down to it if we play the way we're capable of playing and come out with the right mindset, we should win some games."
Victories haven't been coming as regularly for the Hornets of late. After starting the season 31-3, Shenandoah has gone 5-5 over its last 10 games, including a 2-2 showing in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference tournament two weekends ago that knocked the top-seeded Hornets out of contention for the title.
Head coach Kevin Anderson said Tuesday that SU's recent inconsistencies have been the result of a combination of the level of competition the team has played and poor execution on the Hornets' part, adding that the team has spent time over the last couple weeks analyzing data and making the necessary adjustments.
Anderson said he wants to see the Hornets' lineup return to being aggressive early in games and the pitchers to focus on getting ahead early in counts.
"A lot of people don't really talk about momentum in baseball but it's a huge factor. And it is in every sport," Anderson said. "Momentum does play a huge role and we're not a catch-up-type team consistently, and we like to dictate the pace of the game. In order to do that, playing with a lead is important, getting ahead of hitters and really dictating the pace of play."
Shenandoah will get its first shot at regaining that momentum on Thursday against Maritime (26-11), which earned a spot in the NCAA tournament by winning the Skyline Conference tournament championship with a 14-3 win over Mount St. Mary.
The Privateers – led offensively by the trio of Brian McLaughlin (.455 batting average, nine homers, 51 RBIs), Chris Deddo (.409, seven homers, 38 RBIs) and Stephen Semler (.402, six homers, 43 RBIs) – are batting .333 as a team.
On the mound, freshman right-hander Travis Bruinsma leads Maritime with nine starts and has compiled an 8-2 record with a 3.70 ERA. Fellow righty Anthony D'Ancona is 5-1 with a 4.15 ERA over seven starts (11 appearances).
"We're gonna see one of two right-handers," Anderson said of Thursday's matchup. "One is slow, deliberate, works the outer part of the plate, throws three pitches. The other guy's a little bit quicker. I'm not sure who we're gonna see. They've been playing well. They won their conference tournament and we'll need to be up to the challenge."
Anderson said the Hornets will turn to junior right-hander Colin Morse, the ODAC Pitcher of the Year, against the Privateers. Morse is 9-0 this season with a 2.60 ERA and 81 strikeouts over 79 2/3 innings pitched.
Shenandoah's lineup, which has a collective .324 batting average and features seven regular starters hitting at least .335, should receive a boost in the regional round from the return of first baseman Luke Nussman, who has missed the last 12 games with mononucleosis.
Nussman, one of three Hornets to earn first team All-ODAC honors this season alongside Morse and Loew (.367 average, 10 home runs, 54 RBIs), is batting .469 this spring. He currently holds a 15-game hitting streak, during which he is batting .532 (33-for-62).
The winner of Thursday's matchup will play the Wheaton/Elizabethtown winner at 7:45 p.m. Friday. The losers from each of those games will meet in an elimination game at 1:15 p.m. Friday.

NetClarify launches an online reputation management tool for college students this month. The service was founded by former deans and privacy experts and operates in Gainesville, Fla. For more information, go to NetClarify.com.
GAINESVILLE, Fla., Oct. 25, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- College is the experience of a lifetime, social media is capturing it all, and NetClarify has just released a reputation management tool that can save a student's reputation when it comes time to get a job. Students entering the workforce should know one statistic: 70 percent of hiring managers have rejected candidates based on negative Web content, according to research commissioned by Microsoft.
This month, NetClarify launched its reputation management tool created by former college deans and a placement chair who have seen their students lose opportunities because they were unaware of how their online profiles portrayed them.
Often a student "Googling" him or herself will not see the whole online reputation story. Employers can have more advanced search tools and are looking for items to rule out candidates.
"Students need a tool that lets them see how they will appear to employers who are researching them. This is the only way they can clean up potentially damaging online content before it becomes a problem," said Jon Mills, co-founder and chairman of NetClarify.
NetClarify's tool, a lite version of which users can try for free, pulls information from more than 100 social sites, the general Internet, criminal records, property records and public records to give students a well-rounded view of how they appear to employers. The tool collects information that has been posted by the student himself or another source about the student, and then identifies which information will send up a red flag for employers.
From there, a student can work to remove the nights of partying, poor language choices and previously unknown rumors him or herself, or he or she can use the tips NetClarify provides to have them removed by a third party.
NOTE TO EDITORS: We have student representatives on college campuses across the country spreading the word about the role NetClarify can play in increasing the employability of fellow students. If you would like an interview with the founders for a different spin on this story, that can be arranged through the contact information listed.

These counties include the cities of Wells, Alto, Rusk, Mount Enterprise, Henderson, Nacogdoches, Central Heights, Chireno, Woden, Appleby, Garrison, Center, Timpson, Joaquin, and Tenaha just to name a few.
This freeze warning means that freezing conditions are likely overnight. While we are just expecting a light freeze, go ahead and cover those tender plants and vegetation that are sensitive to the cold weather.
It should be noted that even though there are no freeze warnings in effect for Angelina county and points to the south and west, it would still be a wise idea to cover those plants that are susceptible to the cold weather just to take the safe precaution.
