Like a Ghost
What if Bella Died. How would Edward react. This is a poem from edwards point of view.
Lets just say Bella killed herself by jumping of the cliff. this story does not run along another... its by itself
1. Like a Ghost
Rating 5/5 Word Count 74 Review this Chapter
Her scent haunts the town,
Like a ghost haunting a house.
Torturing me,
Killing me.
Her scent is like a match,
Licking at my cold hard skin.
I burn all over.
Unable to cry,
Unable to die.
I should have never had left.
I never thought it would be possible,
But I forgot how human she was.
I may be unable to cry,
But she could.
I may be unable to die,
But she could - And she did.
Her scent haunts me,
Like a ghost haunting a house.
Torturing me,
Killing me.

Travel information Hotel Guatemala
A hotel is a residence where you can rent a bedroom. Depending on your needs, you can only rent the room (logistics), with breakfast (login with breakfast), all with dinner (half board) and total with lunch included (full board) rent. Also, the all-inclusive formula very popular here, you pay a fixed amount and all the food and drinks included in price. This is particularly popular in tourist areas. Hotels are often located at sites or locations where many events take place. The prices of hotels vary depending on level of service, during which you are staying at the hotel and the location of the hotel. A hotel in the heart of a city is established will be more expensive than a hotel in the suburbs.
By choosing a subject you can restrict the list of sites easily.

Audi is claiming to have launched the world's first interactive YouTube driving experience for the new Audi A6. The interactive YouTube experience uses the indexing feature so you can control the video with your keypad numbers, allowing you to jump from section to section to provide the illusion that you are actually controlling the car.
At first glance it looks pretty cool. The graphical quality is high with a game like feel and the video has an inset stream of a driver, but once you start to press the numerical keys you'll quickly experience something that's quite clunky and slow to react to the inputs.
Full marks for trying something innovative, but it's a shame, because I really don't think this represents the Audi driving experience very well. What do you guys think?

Pack Bylaws
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
Pack Bylaws are a list of rules specific to that pack, and describe how a pack will function. There is no specific standard for these bylaws, and should be customized to the specific needs for each pack.
Example Bylaws
The Following Bylaws are an example listed by the Buckskin Council in West Virginia.
Key Pack positions include the following:
- Chartered Organization Representative
- Pack Committee Chairman
- Cubmaster
- Assistant Cubmaster
- Secretary
- Treasurer
- Advancement Chair
- Membership & Registration Chair
- Pack Trainer
- Librarian
- Unit Fundraising Chair
- Tiger Den Leader(s)
- Wolf Den Leader(s)
- Bear Den Leader(s)
- 1st and 2nd year Webelos Den Leader(s)
Persons to fill these positions will be elected yearly, and can be parents who are not leaders.
The Pack cannot function without the active involvement of every parent. Accordingly, the Pack must ask each parent to volunteer for a committee or adult leader position, participate in organizing monthly Pack meetings, attend Parents and Leaders (PALS) meetings, and assist with special activities.
PALS meetings will be held monthly (with the exception of July), and will include a Treasurer's report. Parents assisting with the Pack meeting during an assigned month will need to attend the PALS meeting prior to the Pack meeting.
Tiger Cub recruitment will be in May and August.
Recharter of the Pack will be every January, as designated by the District.
Rank Awards (grade to grade) will be each May.
Crossover from the Pack to the Troop will be in February at the Blue and Gold Banquet. Year pins will be received at the Blue and Gold Banquet. Leaders are responsible for getting year pin needs to awards chairperson.
Pack meetings will include a flag ceremony and a den skit/song. Families will be involved with and participate in setup and cleanup. An evaluation sheet for the Pack meeting will handed out at the end of each Pack meeting.
Administrative Guidelines
Use of Pack funds for items other than stated in these by-laws must be discussed and voted on at a PALS meeting. If an immediate response is needed and the issue cannot wait until a PALS meeting, then there shall be at least three other committee members notified of the issue and allowed to discuss and make decisions accordingly. The top committee positions that need to be in on the decision making process are: Chartered Organization Representative, Committee Chairperson, Cub Master, Assistant Cub Master, Treasurer. If one of the people in these positions is the one making the request, he/she must contact three of the others. Two people living in the same household may only count as one voice.
All Den Leaders must complete an Awards request form and turn it into the Awards Chairperson no later than the Wednesday prior to a Pack meeting.
At least one fund-raiser will be held each year. 30% of each Scout's profits will be tracked and paid towards Summer Camp. If the Scout has earned enough to send a parent to camp also, it will be allowed. This money can be held over year to year. If the Scout leaves the Pack, the money will go back into the Pack general funds. The top three sellers in the Pack as well as the top seller in each Den will be recognized with something special. All participants in the fund-raiser will receive a patch. 10% of fund-raiser will go to the Council, 10% of the fund-raiser will go to the First Christian Church as the Chartered Organization of our Pack.
Camperships (Pack helps pay a boy's way to camp) will be decided on a case by case basis.
The Pack will run an "experienced" uniform closet with shirts and neckerchiefs to help cut the cost of scouting for new boys. Donations gladly accepted.
Two adults ("2 deep leadership") will be required for any meeting. If 2 adults are not present, the meeting or activity will not take place. Parents are responsible for checking with the leader to ensure 2 deep leadership is in place before leaving their scout.
Den dues policy will be decided by each den individually.
Permission slips will be required for field trips.
Parent's expenses will include:
- Scout uniform
- Scout book
- Neckerchief
- Registration Fees
- Book for Religious award(s)
- Boy's Life Magazine (if wanted)
Pack expenses include:
- Registration Fee for all Adults
- Training for all BSA registered adults
- Awards and pins
- Awards include all belt loops/activity pins earned while a registered Cub Scout

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – Coker College head women's soccer coach Dan Muns is pleased to announce that forward Cassie Callahan has committed to play soccer for the Cobra women in starting in the fall of 2011.
The incoming freshman from Fayetteville, N.C. was a five sport star at Cape Fear High School lettering in soccer, basketball, cross country, track and tennis. An exceptional soccer player, Callahan amassed 43 goals in her first three years of play. A two-time All-Conference selection, she was also named First Team All-Region and was named to the Fayetteville Observer All-Area Team.
"Cassie is a strong athlete and a very sound soccer player," said Muns. "She plays back to pressure very well, loves to run at defenders and at 5-8 is a serious presence in the air. A good ball striker with both feet, we are hoping she will make some noise in the conference right away."
One of several new faces brought in by Coach Muns, Callahan and the rest of the Cobras will be looking for great things out of their 2011 season. Coker opens the season against USC Aiken at home on September 1.

Rewind a decade back and we dare say that if someone suggested heading downtown Houston after dark, there would be many questions. There were not many reasons why one would actually leave the house for downtown.
Now, a decade later, the scene has changed. Everything's so much more lively and fun downtown Houston. Charter bus, party bus or even luxury limousines are used for bar hopping adventures, bachelor parties or just a fun time with friends and family members. That is the kind of transformation that has seen Houston's tourism industry growing by leaps and bounds. Tens of millions of people from out of town and foreign countries make their way here all year round. The pleasant year-long weather has a huge role to play for that decision.
A huge financial push in the real estate industry – One of the biggest reasons for the sudden tourism boom is the real estate industry. More people, more fun, more entertainment. Another great transformation is the pumping of funds into maintaining, developing and promotion of some of the largest tourist attractions in the city like the Minute Maid Park, Toyota Center and not to mention world class parks like the Discovery Green Park.
Bayou, where worlds meet – Although the public transportation system in Houston is mostly reliable and affordable, it makes more sense for large groups to make use of charter buses when visiting crowded attractions during the holidays. Wide acceptance of Houston's growth was encouraging; hence the emergence of places like Bayou Place. Bayou is a vibrant place which was opened up in 1997 and measures, according to official stats, up to one hundred and thirty thousand square feet in total. It is the place where tourist can find all sorts of entertainment, including theaters, malls, comedy shows, restaurants, cafes, and night spots too. During peak periods, parking can be a huge problem and that is when using a Houston charter bus comes highly recommended.
Mosaic – DJing things up – If you are heading over looking for a fun nightspot, then consider Rocbar or Mosaic. These are DJ hot spots, which mean that there is often a showcase or showdown between talented DJs all year round. It is classy and casual at the same time. Big names in the DJ world has made their way here before in the past and who knows, you might get lucky and get to spend the night listening to a popular DJ spinning the songs out for you all night long while you enjoy your drinks.
Things have definitely changed for Houston and it is really more apparent during the night. No longer are the locals considered low-laying individuals with no time for partying, it is now a vibrant city filled with young people looking out for fun things to do too.

MOTHER's readers have always shown a strong interest in wilderness skills. For a long while we addressed that interest with a survival-skills series written by Tom Brown,The Tracker. Recent surveys show that readers want even more wilderness training articles. So, beginning here and running through several future issues, we'll take you on a tour of five leading wilderness training schools. Our writers are attending these schools now, documenting their experiences photographically and preparing reports in order to provide a sound basis on which readers interested in gaining supervised, first-hand backcountry experience can select a school appropriate to their needs.
Wilderness Training Schools, Part I
From Globe, Arizona, we loaf along U.S. highways 60 and 88 some 25 miles to the Spring Creek Store. Two miles on, according to our hand-drawn map, and we'll swing west onto an unpaved track for the final eight miles, passing through four stock gates, lugging up then braking down two abrupt hills and wet-wheeling it across several meanders of Campaign Creek to Reevis Mountain School of Self-Reliance. Don't attempt the unpaved portion of this journey in a vehicle with low clearance or a tired engine, we've been advised. In fact, incoming students are encouraged to leave their vehicles at the Spring Creek Store and ride in the last few rugged miles courtesy the school. Pickup time is 8:30 tonight.
Sound advice. Only the foolhardy would ignore it. However, after a quick raid on the Spring Creek Store to stock up on snacks and soft drinks (no alcohol allowed at the school, and the one meal a day that comes with the price of tuition is hard-core vegetarian), photographer Branson Reynolds and I squeeze back into my trusty old Beetle and I steer off into the wild and woolly Sonoran high desert, God's own cactus garden.
"Wild-looking country," Branson says. Indeed. A hoodoo landscape haunted by ghosts: A blue-suited cavalry pursuing near naked Apaches up these dry washes into the jagged Superstitions ("Campaign Creek," this is); grizzled prospectors chasing the mythical Lost Dutchman's gold. And of the school we've heard some rather spooky tales as well: Of an apiary abandoned after persistent raids by a bear. Of cots with their legs set in cans of motor oil to discourage lonely scorpions from joining the occupants of sleeping bags. Of squealing, ivory-tusked javelinas chasing a snarling cougar smack through the middle of the school grounds on a full-moon night.
Yes, this is wild country. The Superstition Mountains. High-desert wilderness. An Old West of the mind. A Wild West for real. Up Owl Hill, down through Skydive Gulch. We splash across Campaign Creek again—the clear water bubbling up over the running boards of my low-slung Bug—then come to a cool grove of white-barked sycamores. We stop and pry ourselves out of the Beetle for a stretch. Early December, and the grass beneath these big bare trees is green and lush, watered by a rare snowfall that looks to have beat us here by just a couple of days; patches of white still hang on wherever there is shade.
At the end of the trail we leave the car to tick oft' its heat beneath an ancient cottonwood. As we walk up the shady lane leading to the school, we're greeted by a tall mesomorph who materializes silently from the woods. Looking to be in his early 40s, with longish hair and a flowing salt-and-pepper beard, this has to be Peter "Bigfoot" Busnack, the honcho of Reevis Mountain. Glancing down at his hand-cobbled leather boots, I see that he comes by his moniker honestly. Bigfoot leads us on up the path, past tipis and yurpis (Reevis-designed amalgams of yurts and tipis) pitched back along the creek and nicely spaced for privacy. Where the narrow neck of the valley opens into the head of a V-shaped meadow, we come to a nineteenth-century board-and-batten ranch house that serves now as school headquarters and community dining hall.
The community members—singles, couples, families with children—live in the same primitive cloth shelters as those rented to students not wishing to camp in their own tents. No distracting jingle of telephones here, no power lines scarring the turquoise sky, no flush toilets. But appropriate technology, both modern and ancient, is in evidence everywhere: panels of photovoltaic cells, Oriental-style squat privies and native stone greenhouse and shower buildings, the latter offering gravity-fed spring water warmed by passive solar panels during summer and a wood-fired drum boiler in winter. After dinner with the residents, we hit our cots early—it has been a 500-mile day. We rouse only briefly when the school's vintage VW Transporter comes sputtering in with the rest of the students.
At seven in the morning, we're awakened by a clamor like someone beating on a big iron pipe with a five-pound sledge; we discover a few minutes later that it was exactly that—the RMS assembly bell. Outside, the sandy desert soil sparkles with frost. We breakfast with the staff and students—unsweetened porridge, unsweetened whole grain muffins (damn that honey-stealing bear) and mixed garden vegetables (fresh in December!), all washed down with juniper and mesquite teas (if you want coffee, bring your own). At eight o'clock, Peter assembles the group, gives a brief introductory talk and leads off up the trail to the sunny western ridge.
The purposes of this hike are many: to ascertain the lay of the land, to enjoy the views, to learn Bigfoot's "macro view" technique of lost-proofing, to become familiar with some of the more common and useful edible and medicinal wild plants of the Sonoran, to learn the tricks of finding water in arid country. And more. As we top the ridge Branson and I spot the tumble-down stone walls of a pre-Columbian Indian village. Hohokam, most likely. Over yonder, side by side, sit two metates, large flat stones used by Southwestern Indians for grinding corn and mast. Flint shards lie at our feet. Peter points out the ruins, telling us that similar village sites are scattered along these ridges by the dozens, then cautioning that we're on public land now and that to remove or disturb any of these artifacts would be not only immoral but felonious. We move on.
About midmorning we halt in a little clearing and crowd around Peter to watch him make fire by rubbing two sticks together. ("Sure," some skeptic whispers. "Could be," Branson replies.) All morning Peter has been gathering the natural materials he'll need to construct a primitive fire-making device called a bow drill—your basic Stone Age Zippo. The parts include two 16-inch bone-dry lengths of the woody flower stalk of the yuccalike sotol plant (for drill shaft and fireboard—the two sticks that get rubbed together), a two-foot length of live juniper limb about an inch in diameter (for a bow to spin the shaft) and a short section of juniper limb split in half (the "bearing block," for applying downward pressure on the drill shaft to increase the friction).
But one critical ingredient for the bow drill Bigfoot does not collect from nature: After explaining that in a survival situation we can use a boot lace, a leather thong or some natural cordage for a bowstring, he produces a length of cotton sash cord from a hip pocket ("Cheater," some critic hisses) and ties it from end to end of the juniper bow. While our instructor is fashioning his firemaking device, a few students busy themselves shredding juniper bark for tinder while others gather dry brush and twigs for kindling. With the drill ready and a good supply of burnables arranged nearby, Bigfoot's moment of truth has arrived. He places a wad of tinder on the ground, positions the assembled friction apparatus atop the tinder and anchors it with one big foot. Now, slowly, his right hand working the bow while his left presses down on the bearing plate, he commences sawing—back and forth, back and forth—causing the drill shaft to spin. Gradually he increases both speed and pressure until a wisp of white smoke appears where drill meets fireboard. Within 13 seconds—I time him—our instructor is engulfed in a cloud of smoke.
Where there's smoke there's fire, so Peter carefully lifts the drill shaft from the fireboard and leans down to blow the tiny ember of smoldering wood dust to life. Now he uses a twig to flick the glowing coal down into the tinder bundle. Carefully folding the tinder around the ember, Peter raises the bundle and blows gently until the shredded bark bursts into flame. Finally, moving with the speed of a man holding fire in his hands, he tucks the flaming tinder into the center of the waiting tipi of kindling and—like ancient magic—here there be fire. We move on, learning as we go, up along the open ridge and past more ruined stone walls, down into brush-choked ravines where the spicy smell of seep willow leads us by our noses to water. We drink. By early afternoon (no lunch breaks here; no time) we are back at the school where we'll spend the remainder of the day—each and every last student—in our own personal quests for fire.
By some incredible stroke of luck, I'm the first to complete the construction of a workable bow drill and to make flame. Others, less accustomed to working with knife and wood, will take much longer, but all will eventually succeed, even the two Reevis children tagging along with our group today. Every so often, Peter calls a break in our pyric endeavors to demonstrate other handy bits of backcountry lore: preparing and making fire with flint and steel, building a hot earth survival bed and suchlike. This morning's hike will prove to be the only field outing of the course and the fire making exercise to be the high point of the weekend.
After dinner at the ranch house, we are entertained with a photovoltaic-powered slide show and Bigfoot's narration of his incredible 85-mile solo trek across the hottest part of Arizona's lower Sonoran Desert during the hottest two weeks of the hot hot summer of '76. He carried a camera and basic survival equipment such as knife, compass and water containers, but no food and no water, trusting his life entirely to his desert savvy.
Midday temperatures pulsed up to 135 degrees Fahrenheit. Bigfoot fell sick with hepatitis (from bad water), but cured himself with wild herbs. He ate wild greens, bugs, frogs, a rattlesnake. He got water from his food, from the occasional seep, trickle, spring or stream and, at the worst of times, from barrel cactus. He survived. The desert odyssey of Peter Bigfoot remains unmatched (few would try) and, as word got around, the feat established Busnack as a Sonoran legend in his own time, eventually leading him to found Reevis Mountain School of Self-Reliance. We spend the two remaining days of our class on campus—frosty mornings huddled around a woodstove in the big yurpi that serves as the community's schoolhouse, afternoons sprawled out under the warm winter sun—discussing and practicing a variety of outdoor skills.
These skills include selecting the best style and size knife for our needs and keeping it sharp; choosing outdoor clothing appropriate to task, terrain and weather; sleeping warm sans tent and sleeping bag; choosing wilderness campsites; constructing emergency shelter (the students build a grass thatched hut) . . . and, though I dodge it, there's a class on meditation.
The afternoon of the third day, leaving a bit early in order to keep an appointment in Tucson that evening, Branson and I say our good-bys, crank up the Bug and chug away from Reevis Mountain and the Superstitions, back down through Skydive Gulch, up and over Owl Hill, out across the desert flats and finally back onto the blacktop trail to everywhere.
The Wilderness Training School: An Overview
The Reevis Mountain School of Self-Reliance was incorporated in 1979 as a nonprofit educational institution dedicated to researching, perfecting and teaching natural living, healing and wilderness survival skills. To date, the school has graduated some 1,300 students.
In the opening paragraph of the brochure RMS sends out to prospective students, Peter Busnack says, "To our knowledge, there is no other school anywhere like ours." I agree. What makes RMS unique—not necessarily better or worse but undeniably unique—is that it's neither adventure- nor challenge-oriented, as are virtually all other such schools. Most RMS courses are self-reliance-oriented. Many of these deal with wilderness skills; the value of others is open to individual interpretation. To wit (from the 1987 Spring-Summer class schedule)
• Primitive Life Skills (making baskets and stone tools; 2 days)
• Land Navigation (2 days)
• Yurpi Building (3 days)
• Stone Masonry (6 days)
• Herb Study (several variations; 2 and 3 days)
• Natural Remedies (3 days)
• Survival Into the New Age (disaster preparedness; 2 days)
• Tanning Skins (3 days)
• Survival Skills Trek (6 days)
• Vision Quest (3 days)
• T'ai Chi Chuan (3 days)
• Meditation Retreat (3 days)
So what does this metaphysical slant portend for those students—such as Branson and myself— who come to RMS to learn wilderness skills, having no expectation of being exposed to New Age philosophies? Well, I reckon it depends. If you're a New Ager, you've stumbled upon a mecca. But me, I'm something of a loner, more inclined to cynicism than mysticism, and—so my wife tells me—possessing strong misanthropic leanings. Consequently, the RMS ritual of forming a circle, joining hands to sing and chant "om" for 15 minutes prior to dinner each evening struck me as inappropriate to the occasion. A wilderness skills school should, in this observer's opinion, be just that and nothing more, with the staff's spiritual leanings and personal Weltanschauungs kept personal.
On the other hand, Branson is a wonderfully easygoing fellow, more people oriented, more open to new ideas. And while he didn't pretend to enjoy the requirement of singing for his veggies every night, neither did it really bother him. "Just a part of the experience," he'd say. And while I ditched the meditation class in favor of a shower, Branson sat through it in graceful composure.
Of our fellow students, most were urban folk who, with a couple of exceptions, seemed to arrive knowing what to expect, and thus enjoyed the entire program.
One solution for those who may wish to study desert skills at RMS but who lack enthusiasm for group sings, meditation, vegetarian dining and after-dinner conversation centering on reincarnation, OBE's and spiritual channels is to bring your own food and keep to yourself in the evenings. There's a beautiful little meadow down along the creek, and no one will try to make you feel like a misfit (they didn't me).
Wilderness School Evaluation
So, do I recommend RMS or no?
"Sure," I'm inclined to say. Sure. But it's not that simple, so I'll equivocate: It depends on your prior outdoor experience and on your expectations and disposition.
Subjectively: As a lifelong outdoors man and survivor of Marine Corps, Army and Air Force survival schools—not to mention the Boy Scouts—I can't honestly say that I learned a whole lot new at RMS. Which isn't to say I didn't learn: Since the RMS weekend, I feel a bit more at home in serious cactus boonies (by residence, experience and preference, I'm a mountain man). Then there's the fire-making drill: Peter Bigfoot gave to me a skill I had pursued unsuccessfully for years.
Objectively: The Wilderness Survival Skills course description makes no claim to offer a rugged wilderness experience or to provide advanced survival training. It is—plain, simple and right out front—an entry-level course. For our classmates—most of whom came to Reevis with limited or no outdoors experience—the long weekend obviously was both educational and fun. For some, it was even a challenge.
And for one lady from New York City who'd never before in her life camped out, it was a grand adventure. She spent all three cold nights sleeping on a warmed-earth survival bed with no tent between her and the stars, bears, scorpions, cougars, javelinas and hoodoos. (Meanwhile, he-men Branson and I huddled round a sheepherder's stove in our cot-equipped tipi.) For that green but spunky Big Apple lady who played her time in the Wild West for all it was worth, Reevis proved to be the outdoor experience of a lifetime.
So, you see, it really does depend.
The three-day Wilderness Survival Skills course Branson and I joined is being replaced next time around (it will return) by a six-day Survival Skills Trek. The same skills will be covered, but this time within the context of a 45-mile wild-country hike and several nights of primitive camping. That, I suspect, will more closely approach what I had hoped to experience. Financially, RMS is a bargain. Tuition varies by course, of course, with the three day, three night Wilderness Survival Skills class Branson and I took going for a paltry $90—including instruction, course materials, a place to pitch a tent, shower facilities, a take-home copy of Bigfoot's Survival Skills Manual (68 pages, rough-hewn but packed with information) and two all-you-can-eat vegetarian dinners. An additional $5 a night (double occupancy) will rent you a cot in a tipi or yurpi (bring your own bag).
The only enrollment requirements at RMS are a willingness to follow the rules and cooperate, and a sincere desire to learn. Anyone of any age or motivation can enroll; our group included a militaristic survivalist we nicknamed Camo Joe, a white-haired grandmother and every disposition in between.
School Access
Reevis Mountain School of Self-Reliance, Globe, AZ.
If you'll send RMS a stamped, self-addressed, legal-size envelope, they'll send you their 10-page brochure listing current classes and tuition rates, complete with maps to the school and designated student-pickup points, plus most everything else you'll need to know.
If you live in the Southwest or plan to vacation in Arizona one of these days, and would enjoy an opportunity to gain a bagful of basic desert (or New Age) skills in a short time at reasonable cost—sure—check out what Reevis has to offer. It's wild country out there, and beautiful.

William Armstrong
Canadian (born in Ireland), 1822–1914
Portage at Deux Rivières, 1893
watercolour on paper
23 x 35.8 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with funds from The Winnipeg Foundation
William Armstrong arrived in Toronto from Dublin in 1851. Throughout that decade he worked for several railways before establishing a civil engineering firm. During the same period he worked as a drawing instructor. Although records are unclear between the 1860s and early 1870s, Armstrong is known to have travelled to the north shore of Lake Superior on several occasions. The sketches he produced offer somewhat embellished views of areas known to be abundant with primary resources like timber and minerals, which were increasingly valuable commodities for colonial industries based in urban centres like Toronto. This painting captures a harrowing portage route in what is today Quetico Provincial Park. Portage at Deux Rivières is dated 1893 and thus likely references an earlier sketch as Armstrong's explorations ended in the early 1870s.

A U.S. Army soldier from Sardis has been injured while serving in Afghanistan.
A U.S. Army soldier from Sardis has been injured while serving in Afghanistan.
Corey Garmon, 24, was injured Wednesday when an IED exploded while he and his squad were approaching a compound outside Kandihar, his father, Chris Garmon, said Thursday.
Corey's left leg was amputated below the knee and he has two broken bones in his right leg, Garmon said. His left arm is damaged and his right cornea is bruised. He has numerous soft tissue injuries from shrapnel.
"They believe they're going to be able to save his left arm," Garmon said. "They're concerned about the injury to his eye, but they're not going to know about that until he is out of the drug-induced coma."
Garmon is a longtime football coach. He said some of his former players who are in the Army are stationed at the air base where his son will be flown while en route to Germany.
"They're going to call me when he gets there," he said.
Garmon said Army officials told him and his wife, Lori, that Corey will be in Germany for a short time and discouraged them from making the long flight there.
However, once Corey is in Germany, he will be assigned a doctor and personal nurse who will be able to talk to his family and give them updates.
Garmon said Corey is expected to be in the United States, at either Bethesda, Md., or San Antonio, within a few days.
Corey, a Cavalry Scout, joined the Army in March 2011 and was stationed at Fort Lewis, Wash., before he was deployed in December. He is a 2007 graduate of Sardis High School.
He recently was promoted to specialist, an advancement expected to go into effect in August, his father said.
Corey celebrated his birthday July 6.
"He had gotten all his packages and things," Garmon said.
Garmon said he talked to his son on Sunday, and Corey told him he was going out on a 10-day mission that was expected to be his last mission before he was moved to a post near the Pakistani border, considered to be a safer assignment.
Garmon said he received a call about 3 p.m. Wednesday about his son's injuries, which happened earlier in the day.
He said he also has talked to a soldier who was standing close to his son when the squad was attacked.
The squad, part of the 520 Bronco Troop, First Platoon, was approaching a compound and began to take on fire, Garmon said.
"He went to the wall in front of them and he raised his weapon," he said. "He got a few rounds off."
He said an enemy detonated an IED that exploded near Corey. Five of the eight squad members were injured.
Garmon said his son joined the Army knowing the possibilities of injuries.
"This was Corey's life. It's what he always wanted to do, and he knew going in this was possible," his father said.
"Before he left, he said, 'I was meant to do this. Don't worry about me,'" Garmon said. "But you do."
Garmon said Corey's buddy told him the operation was done correctly.
"He said they did everything just like they were supposed to," he said. "He said it just wasn't their lucky day.
"He said every time they come back from a mission safely, they would all look at each other and say, 'We were lucky today,'" Garmon said. "Yesterday they weren't lucky."

That's precisely why I canceled my PS3 DC order and went with Vita. That way I can play Xillia while my Vita charges, haha.
Is it just me, or does combat feel...far less fluid than Graces?
I generally prefer Team Symphonia games in battle system but yeah, it's pretty difficulty for any Tales system to be more fluid than Graces. It was just wonderful.
http://gematsu.com/2013/08/tales-of-zestiria-tales-of-zestias-trademarkedI suppose that the next Tales of game wont be fully named till they're Zest fully named.Edit: http://www.siliconera.com/2013/08/12/tales-of-link-tales-of-ansis-tales-of-jin-yeah-more-tales-trademarks/Meanwhile, even more names get trademarked. Although in this case I suspect that these might be more useful in regards to a crossover than a full fledged Tales of game (especially that first one).
Man, seeing Symphonia pictures again reminds me of the difference between Atelier Rorona and every other full 3D Atelier game. Even weirder when juxtaposed with costumes from newer games.

A second Bronco free agent has been signed back to the club.
The team re-signed backup offensive tackle Winston Justice to a one-year deal Friday.
Justice gives the Broncos protection in case right tackle Orlando Franklin is moved to left guard in 2014. In that scenario, Justice would compete with Chris Clark for the starting right tackle position.
Clark primarily is a left tackle, but all-pro Ryan Clady returns after missing all but the first two games last season with a torn Lisfranc in his left foot.
Justice, 29, will enter his eighth NFL season. He has been a starter for three seasons — 2009-10 with Philadelphia and 2012 with Indianapolis — all at right tackle.
Earlier this season, the Broncos re-signed backup receiver Andre Caldwell. Otherwise, the Broncos opted not to bring back their bigger-name free agents such as Eric Decker, Zane Beadles, Knowshon Moreno, Wesley Woodyard and Shaun Phillips. Two other starters, Mike Adams and Robert Ayers, remain free agents.
The possibility of moving Franklin inside increased after the Broncos lost Beadles, their starting left guard the past four seasons, to free agency and a five-year, $30 million contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Broncos also tried to sign free-agent center Evan Dietrich-Smith, who wound up with Tampa Bay, with the idea of moving Manny Ramirez back to his natural guard position. The team also visited with center Will Montgomery, but didn't reach agreement.
At this point, the Broncos' options to fill the left guard vacancy will be to draft a guard or center within the first three rounds, or move Franklin inside.
Franklin started at both left guard and left tackle for the University of Miami Hurricanes.

Feeding time at our home is a bit of a frenzy, and with three dogs and two cats, each of a different size and with different needs, you can guess why.Just as the grass is always greener on the other side for us humans, cat food is more desirable to dogs than what's in their own bowl and vice versa. So the struggle begins with trying to keep each out of the other's bowl. This means a lot of careful separation with baby gates and stringent supervision. One lax moment would mean Opie would have licked clean the cats' tiny bowls before I could say "No!".
Freddie, our darling oldie, is also the smallest of our dogs. His teeth are weak and he refuses to eat kibble, so he is on a canned food diet. He also likes to wait to ingest anything other than what he's supposed to eat, if he can get it, before he gets to his bowl. So his food hangs around for hours before he touches it and that, naturally, sets Opie and Lucy off into a contest to see who can get into Freddie's food before he gets to it.Then there's Pie, our black cat, who's watching her weight, or rather whose weight we are watching. Pie is more than a little food obsessed and every morning I wake up to her constant chant of meows as she demands that I get up at once and feed her. One of the ways she manages to eat more than her share is by bullying the more peace-loving Pubm to give up her food.
For some reason, human food is the most desirable of all to canines of all sizes, shapes and temperament. Even the vegan food on my plate, strangely enough, is irresistibly attractive to these four-legged weirdos. Not so much for Lucy, who doesn't like vegetables, but for Freddie and definitely for Opie– who, and I am not kidding– will eat anything. He takes tofu, carrots, spinach, edamame, lettuce, potatoes, upma, dosa, dal and bread delicately from my hand and follows it all with a satisfied roll of the tongue over his mouth as if to say a lipsmacking thank you!
But Opie's most favorite food of all has got to be rice. He would eat bowl after bowl of plain boiled rice if I let him which of course I don't, because just like us humans dogs have to watch their carb intake AND their meals need to be balanced. I often kid that he must be a South Indian at heart, like Desi, because of his love for rice.
And now for a South Indian dish that works wonderfully with rice (for humans). This Green Tomato Masial is a treat we enjoy usually only in the summers when I can grow my own tomatoes and pick them off the vine before they can be touched by even the palest shade of orange. A green tomato has a character of its own, quite different from its ripe version. It's tart and tangy and firm, and in this masial it is a treat unlike any other.
I had a while ago posted my tomatillo masial, which is my winter version of this dish, but I wanted to share this too since it is one of Desi's favorite dishes, and also quite easy to make.
To go with my Green Tomato Masial, I made an utterly simple but also utterly delicious okra subzi which is exactly how my mom always made it, and which I absolutely adore. The flavor here comes from the wonderful caramelization of the onion and the okra which makes everything taste sweet and rich. So much, in fact, that as a child okra or ladies' fingers (bhendi in Marathi or vendakka in Tamil) were my favorite veggie!
The okra, along with the green tomatoes, comes from my backyard. I find okra one of the easiest veggies to grow because I can plant the seeds directly into the soil once the coldest of days is past, and the seedlings come up with little fuss. With regular watering and feeding, they give me slender and tender fingers of okra all summer which taste far better than the bags of frozen, slimy supermarket stuff I have to put up with all winter.
Green Tomato Masial
3/4 cup tuvar dal (yellow split peas or pigeon peas), covered with water, then pressure cooked or boiled until tender.
4 medium green tomatoes, chopped into an even dice of about 1/2 cm.
1 tbsp canola or other vegetable oil
1 heaping tbsp sambar powder
1 tsp mustard seeds
A generous pinch of asafetida (hing)
1 sprig curry leaves
2 green chilies, slit through the middle.
Salt to taste
Heat the oil in a saucepan.
Add the mustard leaves and asafetida. When the mustard sputters, add the curry leaves, stir quickly, then add the green tomatoes.
Cook until the tomatoes break down and get quite tender, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the sambar powder, stir thoroughly, then add the cooked tuvar dal.
Add salt to taste, and add water if the mixture is too thick. Let it come to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes so all the flavors come together.
Garnish, if desired, with chopped coriander leaves.
This dish is best eaten with plain boiled rice, but it also goes quite well with chapatis.
Okra Subzi
About 12 fresh okra, trimmed at both ends, then cut into very thin rings, about 1/4th of a centimeter wide (if you cut them too thick, they will not cook through before they start to brown)
1 tbsp canola or other vegetable oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 small onion, very thinly sliced
2 dry red chillies, broken into smaller pieces
Salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Heat the oil in a cast-iron or non-stick skillet
Add the mustard seeds and when they sputter, add the onions and red chillies and stir until the onions get slightly translucent, just a couple of minutes.
Add the okra and fry, stirring frequently, until they are quite brown and crispy.
Add some salt and pepper at the very end to season.
Serve hot!

Sony's investment in free-to-play console games could be key to the PlayStation maker becoming the dominant player in the home console market once again.
I think it's how they use the free to play model, will determine how well it works for them and others. I enjoyed DCUO and free Realms, I went to see how it would play out and stayed for the enjoyment of the titles and the amount of things to do in DCUO and the expansion packs makes the game better.
I sure they will add a membership option for those that want to subscribe.
It's already number 1. For gaming anyway.
Seeing how planetside 2 is on the pc and will work on steam box. All sony needs to do is bring it to ps4 and they will be making money from 3 platforms. Cross platform I hope.
They should make ps4 exclusives for ps4 of course and make AAA f2p games on multiple platforms. That would help their profits.
Also I am dying to see what they are doing with gaikai.
Glad they bought them 1 year+ before ps4. should be ready at launch.
Last game I played on gaikai was tera. :)
There was a very similar article recently saying the same thing. And it was about this same topic on free to play games on ps3.
It will take much more than Free-to-play titles to bring the Playstation name to number one again.
What? So does that mean Playstation isn't no.1 I guess we will see but i'm sure all three will have free to play games.

Where can I get a good GSM shield (I'm in the UK)?
I have not long moved into a new house and I'm starting to fit an alarm system.I have noticed the main panel has got a few relay outputs, including one for the alarm condition.I was hoping to be able to use an arduino with a GSM shield to send me and my girlfriend a text message if the alarm condition has activated.
There are PTS (push to set) terminals though which I might have a play with further down the line
I was thinking of something slightly different, though it might not work how I first thought. I also have one of these RFID proximity readers to fit http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Technical/DataSheets/Ade/TSSS01_Install.pdf they mention configuring the PTS input on the panel to accept a key switch input so I guess that would set the system? I wonder what protocol the 'comms' uses? Way out of my comprehension probably but it would be great to hack it to interface with an arduino lol.

With the release of Ubuntu Linux 12.04 "Precise Pangolin" less than a week ago, there's still plenty of excitement and discussion about this latest iteration of Canonical's popular Linux distribution.
Time never stands still, however, so even as Precise Pangolin was making its official debut, work was already beginning on its successor, which we've recently learned will be named Quantal Quetzal.
Also with an eye to the future, Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth on Tuesday spent an hour answering questions about what else is coming down the pike for Ubuntu in version 12.10 and beyond. As part of Ubuntu Open Week this week, Shuttleworth's "Ask Mark" session offered a compelling glimpse at what's to come.
'Ask Mark'
Organized at the beginning of each new release cycle, Ubuntu Open Week is a week of IRC tuition and Q+A sessions aimed at getting new contributors involved.
Kicking it all off is the "Ask Mark" session, during which community members are invited to ask Shuttleworth questions about the Ubuntu project.
Questions this time around varied from queries about plans for the Unity desktop to Canonical's relationships with hardware makers and beyond, but they provided interesting insight into Ubuntu's future directions.
You can check out the full transcript for yourself in the IRC log, but here are some of the key highlights.
1. Menus Won't Disappear Soon
In response to one question regarding Ubuntu's new Head-Up Display interface--and, in particular, what would need to be done to make it a viable replacement for the traditional menu system--Shuttleworth said there is no specific plan at this point for that to take place.
"No concrete ideas, beyond keeping traditional menus around as long as we need them for that purpose," he said.
Furthermore, "since we have all the data in the global menu now, it should be possible for people to experiment with lightweight Python programs to mock up ideas or suggestions," he added.
2. Unity Is Two-Thirds Done
Unity provides a better desktop shell experience for users than GNOME does, Shuttleworth asserted, reiterating similar comments he's made before.
"We get criticized for using Firefox not Epiphany, or Rhythmbox not Banshee, or... you name it," he explained. "But the fact that we make those tough decisions, with the criterion being 'what works best out of the box for users,' is part of what makes Ubuntu important in the open source ecosystem. That's how we've made open source useful for millions of other people."
The interface is now about two-thirds of the way to fulfilling the original vision for it, he added.
The next big decision, in fact, is how to merge the 2D and 3D versions, Shuttleworth said, and it's a tough one that will require developers to redo some work.
Quality, however, is continuously improving thanks to the fact that there's now significant QA support for the interface, he added.
"It seems people who were even very skeptical about Unity are willing to give it another shot," Shuttleworth said. "I think the design vision is becoming clearer, and the team worked incredibly hard to address bugs and shortcomings."
3. Wayland Is on the Way
The new Wayland graphics system announced in late 2010 "will be exactly two years more mature for the next LTS," Shuttleworth said.
At the same time, "I think X apps will be supported well beyond that, and we'll make the pieces fit together smoothly along the way," he added.
4. A New Icon Theme?
Canonical has long wanted to create a new icon theme, but a proper analysis needs to be done before anything is actually implemented, Shuttleworth said. Toward that end, "we've pulled together some experts, both artists and interface gurus, to look at the use of icons across the desktop. The art part will come later," he noted.
5. Microsoft's 'Gutsy Choices'
Asked about Windows 8 and any opportunity it may present for Ubuntu, Shuttleworth remained diplomatic.
"I admire some of the gutsy choices Microsoft are making," he said. "It's difficult for them, and they are doing some things very well. Credit where it is due."
"We are not here because we hate anybody else," Shuttleworth added. "We're here because we have a vision of a future only we can create."
6. Ubuntu TV and Ubuntu for Android
Last but not least, when asked if any Ubuntu TV or Ubuntu for Android devices will appear soon, Shuttleworth answered in just one, intriguing word: "mayyyyybe ;)"
This story, "What's coming next for Ubuntu Linux?" was originally published by PCWorld.

NY Senate passes contentious special education bill
ALBANY >> A special education bill derided by opponents as "the mother of all unfunded mandates" passed the Senate during the marathon session that ended at dawn on Saturday.
The bill expands the rights of parents to place children in external special education programs before a school district committee determines whether the placement is justified. That leaves districts open to pay for costly tuition that can top $100,000 a year, opponents say.
A similar bill passed both houses in 2012 and was vetoed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. This year, the bill did not come up for a vote in the Assembly, as the Legislature ended the session in a more chaotic manner than usual because of the scandals and leadership problems in both houses.
The debate over the bill prompted a sharp exchange Friday night between Senate Education Committee Chairman John Flanagan (R-Suffolk County) and Senator Cecilia Tkaczyk (D-Duanesburg), who cited the opposition of the teachers union and advocacy groups. The bill's main sponsor is Sen. Simcha Felder, a breakaway Brooklyn Democrat who has sided with Republicans in helping the GOP maintain control of the state Senate.
Opponents cite the cost to public schools and the fear that private and religious schools will abuse the placements. Tkaczyk, a former school board member, irked Flanagan by refusing to accept his explanation that the bill would not cause new costs for school districts.
"You are forcing schools to pay for tuition at other situations, other programs that may not be educationally appropriate and a final decision hasn't been rendered," she said.
"I could not disagree more," Flanagan shot back. "A parent right now, and this affects everyone in this room, either friend, family, relative or constituents - Everybody cares about education, everybody cares about their kids in particular. When you have a child with special needs that level of concern and enhancement goes through the roof."
He said all parents now have the right to disagree with school district rulings in special education cases. "There is no obligation on the part of a school district to start paying tuition until there is a final determination. So your characterization of this, respectfully I'm going to say, is inaccurate."
He said nowhere in the two page bill was there any obligation for school districts to pay tuition if they prevail over a parental placement.
"Well, then I am joined by a huge number of organizations that are stating that," Tkaczyk replied, reading from a list that included NYSUT, the Civil Liberties Union, NAACP, New York City school officials, UFT, and the Big 5 School Districts. She said the only group writing to her expressing support was the Catholic Conference.
"We are currently failing to adequately fund our schools," she said. "Schools now are getting funding levels from 2008-2009 levels. I represent school districts that are very stressed."
Among the critics of the bill are the NYS Council of School Superintendents. "It is well documented that the vast majority of special education cases litigated in New York involve tuition reimbursement cases," the council said in a memo opposing the bill. This proposal guarantees a new line of challenges."
"The Legislature talks about no unfunded mandates yet is ready to pass a bill that will cost taxpayers all over the state more money to benefit a select few and cater to special interest groups representing religious schools," the NYS Association of School Business Officials said in press release on the bill, which they called the mother of unfunded mandates.
"Currently, a Committee on Special Education (CSE) composed of school representatives, parents and experts decide the most appropriate placement for a special needs student. This bill basically circumvents that process and allows the parent to place the child without waiting for the CSE to decide and while the school district waits for the CSE to decide, they have to pay the bills for these private school placements, and if the CSE decides if the parents unilateral placement was not appropriate, it must somehow seek to recoup the public's money from the parents or the private school."
"You should be calling your legislators and asking them how they could support a bill that places such a large unfunded mandate on public schools (typical cost is $100,000 per year) and their taxpayers to benefit private schools, when public schools are facing such fiscal difficulties keeping their own programs intact," NYSABO concluded.

Did you ever wonder what ANSI Standards really means and more importantly what does it mean to your high performance flashlight? Here is a very simple explanation of the icons and their definitions.
|Light Output – The total projected light output from your flashlight when it has a brand new battery in it. The higher the number or lumens the brighter the light.
|Run Time – With new batteries in your light, how long will it take for the light output to be only 10% of the initial output? Or in other words, it is time to change the batteries!
|Range – With new batteries in your light, range is the distance in meters that the flashlight beam reflects onto a surface.
Water Resistance Rating - There are three icons that are used to depict this standard.
|IPX4 – The flashlight is water resistant. This means that it will probably survive the water balloon fight you got into last night, but not survive falling into a river on last weekends rafting trip.
|IPX7 – This indicates that the flashlight is waterproof. More specifically, it can be submersed in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. When you fall into a stream with your flashlight, if you get out quickly it will still work.
|IPX8 – A flashlight with this icon is like the submarine of all flashlights. It can be submersed deeper than 1 meter for 4 hours. Bombs away!
|Impact Resistance – Is simply the highest level in meters that you can drop your flashlight on concrete in the off position. So, next time you climb a ladder and drop your flashlight on concrete I hope you checked the Impact Resistance rating to be at least as high as your ladder.
Now that you know what to look for, take a look at our line of High Performance LED Flashlights. From small pocket flashlights that are great for Everyday Carry (EDC) to Tactical LED Flashlights that can handle almost any situation, we have the tools to help light your way.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease (CMT)
What is Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type X (CMTX)?
CMTX is a subtype of CMT, a genetic, neurological disorder that causes damage to the peripheral nerves — tracts of nerve cell fibers that connect the brain and spinal cord to muscles and sensory organs.
What are the symptoms of CMTX?
CMTX has many of the same symptoms of CMT1 and CMT2, including muscle weakness and atrophy, and changes in sensation, mostly in the feet, lower legs, hands and forearms.
Because of its linkage to the X chromosome, CMTX often affects males more severely than females. See Signs and Symptoms and Causes/Inheritance for more.
What causes CMTX?
CMTX is caused by mutations in the gene for connexin 32, which normally codes for a protein located in myelin, the insulating sheath that surrounds nerve fibers.
What is the progression of CMTX?
CMTX has its onset in childhood or adolescence, and progression is generally slow.
What is the status of research on CMT?
CMT research is focused on exploring the effects of defects in genes related to the peripheral nervous system and devising strategies to combat these effects.

Father's Worst Fears Confirmed
An East Hampton father feared the worst about a relationship his pre-teenage daughter was having with an adult man, and his suspicions have proved correct. Fidel A. Castro-Brito, 22, also of East Hampton, has been arrested and charged with rape in the first degree.
The victim and the defendant met online via social networking, Lieut. Christopher Anderson of the town police said on Tuesday. Over the course of several weeks, their online relationship "morphed into a meeting, and ultimately the relationship became sexual," he said.
The father, whose identity was not released to protect the identity of the young girl, returned home from work on April 4 to see Mr. Castro-Brito climbing out of his daughter's bedroom window, according to the report, and called police. In the course of an interview with the accused, police came to believe the man had had sexual intercourse with the girl on at least one occasion and possibly more. Police also interviewed the girl, who was taken to the Peconic Bay Medical Center.
Mr. Castro-Brito was arrested at 4:30 p.m. on April 6. Justice Lisa R. Rana set bail the next morning at $100,000.
East Hampton Village detectives made two arrests on April 17. The first was in connection with a violent holdup dating from the night of June 12, 2011, when a Springs 16-year-old reported that three men had pulled him into an alley off Newtown Lane, punched him in the face, and robbed him of $160. One of the men, he reported, brandished a gun.
Police said they actually broke the case a few weeks before pulling Spencer L. Trotman, 19, of East Hampton, out of a taxi on Cooper Lane, after they interviewed the third man involved in the mugging, who was not charged. Paul T. Petty, 19, of East Hampton was arrested last Thursday. Both he and Mr. Trotman were charged with robbery in the second degree.
On the night of April 17, at about 9, village police received a 911 call. When the operator asked what the emergency was, the caller, using obscenities, reportedly said, "My emergency is that you have corrupt cops."
Asked where he was, the caller said, "I'm at the end of my street. I don't want any more cops here asking me if I'm smoking weed and drinking," and then hung up.
Half an hour later, another 911 call was received by the same operator. Asked what the emergency was, the caller responded, "My emergency is that I'm disgraced with you." Seconds later, the phone rang again. A different operator answered.
"Okay. There is a male officer disrespectful to me," the caller said, and hung up. An officer was dispatched to a Pleasant Lane address, and placed Ricky R. Daniels, 19, of East Hampton under arrest, charged with aggravated harassment.
Last Thursday at about 7 p.m., Sag Harbor police received a call reporting a missing boat at the Westwater dock. Frank Cafiso told police he had left the 25-foot Steiger Craft vessel, The Sea Otter, at about 7:15 that morning. When he returned at 6:30 that evening to clean the boat, it was gone.
Later that night, the Coast Guard received a distress call, police said, from a man who said he was "lost at sea in the Peconic Bay area." The boat was tracked down southeast of Fishers Island and Steven Zeltmann, 27, of Sag Harbor, was taken into custody. According to the report, Mr. Zeltmann appeared to be intoxicated at the time. He was charged with third-degree grand larceny and unauthorized use of the craft.
East Hampton Town police received a call last Thursday morning from a Southampton cab driver who had picked up a fare at Southampton Hospital, going to Skimhampton Road in East Hampton. The charge came out to $40, and the passenger reportedly said she needed to go inside to get the money. After several minutes, the report continues, the driver knocked on the door but no one answered. At that point he called the police.
An officer arrived and spoke with the woman, who said her son was coming from Montauk with the money. After waiting 40 minutes, the officer left, instructing the driver to call the police again if the money wasn't paid within the hour. After two hours, he did so, saying that a red pickup truck had pulled up to the house and the woman had gotten in. The truck then drove off, the driver reported.
Police found the woman, Cecilia Thompson, 48, in Montauk and took her into custody, charged with theft of service.
She was released that night on $100 bail with a ticket to appear in East Hampton Justice Court at a later date.

Hi everybody,
I tried to build wooden board with poplar core. I used my home built pneumatic press.
My board is 132 cm, 8-9 mm in the middle and 2-3 at he tips. It came out with almost no rocker. What is your experience with spring back? How much should I correct the rocker table for poplar or cedar core with fiberglass layup? Thanks. kris
