The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office has identified the deputy who fatally shot 13-year-old Andy Lopez last Tuesday as 48-year-old Erick Gelhaus.
Gelhaus is a 24-year veteran of the sheriff's office who was assigned to the day shift patrol at the time of the shooting. He is also a field training officer and firearms instructor in policy and procedure, safety and the use of force, Assistant Sheriff Lorenzo Duenas said.
Gelhaus and another deputy were on patrol at about 3:15 p.m. Tuesday when they saw Lopez near Moorland and West Robles avenues, southwest of Santa Rosa.
Lopez was carrying an airsoft BB gun that looked like an authentic AK-47 assault rifle, as he walked down Moorland Avenue, according to the Santa Rosa Police Department, one of the agencies investigating the incident.
The deputies took cover behind the open doors of their patrol car and ordered Lopez to drop the rifle, Santa Rosa police said.
As Lopez turned around, the deputies said they saw the barrel of the rifle rise up, and Gelhaus opened fire, according to Santa Rosa police Lt. Paul Henry.
He fired eight shots at Lopez within 10 seconds, Henry said. Seven of the shots hit Lopez, who died at the scene.
A replica handgun made of plastic was found in his waistband, Henry said.
The deputy who did not fire his weapon is not being identified because he is a witness to the shooting. He has 11 years' experience with another Bay Area law enforcement agency, and had recently joined the sheriff's office and was training with Gelhaus at the time, Duenas said.
Duenas said the sheriff's office has received general and direct threats of "an eye-for-an-eye" nature since the shooting. Both deputies are on paid administrative leave.
Petaluma police and the Sonoma County District Attorney's Office are also investigating the shooting, and the FBI is conducting a separate, independent investigation.
There have been several protest marches in Santa Rosa since the shooting, as well as daily vigils and prayer sessions at a memorial at the shooting site. Another march is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.
Several hundred people attended a wake for Lopez at a Windsor funeral home on Sunday.

East Hampton Town police will be cracking down on drunken driving this holiday weekend and throughout the summer by joining forces with police departments across the East End in a program announced yesterday by Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas J. Spota's office.
The program, called NiteCAP, or Nighttime Concentrated Alcohol Patrol, will deploy selected combined units from across the East End on a rolling basis, with the goal of increasing the numbers of D.W.I. arrests town by town.
The program eliminates the lost hours that an officer is required to spend on a drunken driving arrest by immediately having a replacement officer ready.
"The courts have to see an unbroken chain of custody between the arresting officer and the suspect," Capt. Michael Sarlo, executive officer of the East Hampton Town police, said yesterday.
Once making an arrest, an officer is required to stay with the person until either an in-station breath or blood test is given, or until the person refuses to take a breath or blood test on three separate, documented occasions, usually within one hour. If a driver is hospitalized, the officer is required to stay until a blood test is administered.
In addition, there is a great deal of paperwork involved after making an arrest.
All of this takes an officer off the road for many hours at a time, depleting the manpower on the streets and forcing the next shift to arrive early.
Many drivers are not aware of how little alcohol it takes to put the average person over the legal limit, frequently as few as two or three beers, Captain Sarlo said.

Life never waits on the weary … And Democrats who want to get in shots at Republicans.
Easter Sunday is not a day of rest for the Democrats' moneychangers. At least three top party officials dispatched fundraising emails Sunday in their bid to reach loyal Democrats in between church and Easter dinner.
It's just the latest sign that politics and fundraising have become as regular as shopping at Sears or Walmart, which also open on Easter.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Sunday morning sent out an updated fundraising note from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi that didn't even mention Easter.
"We could really do this! If we can hit 200,000 donations before tonight's FEC deadline, it would send a blistering message to Speaker Boehner and the Republicans. Donate $3 before MIDNIGHT and your gift will be triple-matched," said the email.

|Hardwick Stuart   **
|110 Centerview Dr, Columbia SC
**The Office of Advice Counsel is responsible for
providing legal advice to all Boards, Commissions
and Panels. These attorneys do not provide legal
advice to parties outside LLR.
A. Application Procedures:
After the applicant's PAL has been approved by the Board, when the applicant is ready to sit for the EPPP, the applicant notifies the Board in writing.The Board then transmits a list of approved candidates the ("Eligibility List") to PES.
PES then sends each Candidate on the Eligibility List application materials, including, the computer-scannable EPPP application form (the "Application Form").Candidates will be instructed to return completed application materials to PES. Included with the completed Application Form will be the "Examination Fee." Acceptable forms of payment of the Examination Fee are: certified check, money order, Visa, or MasterCard. In the case of a payment made by certified check or money order, the payee must be Professional Examination Service. In the case of payment by VISA or MasterCard, such payment will include authorization for PES to charge said Visa or MasterCard. If a candidate's Application Form is incomplete and/or incorrect, PES will return it to the Candidate for completion and/or correction. Any Application Form that is not accompanied by payment of the Examination Fee will be deemed to be incomplete, and returned to the Candidate.
Candidates may take the Examination two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period. There is a sixty (60) day waiting period required between administrations.
PES will send a letter to each Candidate for whom it has scanned an Application Form informing the Candidate of his/her authorization to sit for the Examination (the "Authorization to Test Letter" or "ATT"). The ATT will contain Prometric's toll-free telephone number for use in scheduling an Examination appointment, as well as instructions on the scheduling process.Each Candidate will be required to submit the "Computer Based Testing Fee," of $65.00, directly to Prometric. Candidates failing to submit the Computer Based Testing Fee to Prometric (either by Visa/MasterCard or debit from a demand deposit account) at the time the appointment to sit for the Examination is scheduled will not be permitted to schedule such appointment.Prometric test centers in South Carolina include the following: Columbia, Charleston, Greenville and Myrtle Beach.
Candidates must schedule and sit for the Examination within sixty (60) days of the date on the Authorization to Test Letter (the "Eligibility Period"). If the Candidate fails to schedule and sit for the Examination within the sixty (60) day Eligibility Period, he/she will be automatically removed from the Eligibility List.
Candidates declared ineligible to take an Examination because of their failure to schedule to sit for the Examination before the end of their sixty (60) day Eligibility Period will be required to resubmit their applications along with the Examination Fee. Under no circumstances will the Eligibility Period be extended.
Candidates may reschedule to take the Examination by Noon 12:00 P.M. two (2) working days prior to the scheduled Examination date by calling Prometric's Candidate Services Call Center using the toll-free telephone number.
Candidates who fail to give the required two (2) working days notice to Prometric of their intention to reschedule an Examination, and fail to sit for the Examination as scheduled, will forfeit their Computer Based Testing Fee. In order to sit for the Examination, such Candidates will be required to begin the application process again including payment of the Computer Based Testing Fee and the Examination Fee. The application materials sent to Candidates will contain information regarding fees.
B. Examination Administration Procedures:
Candidates will be instructed to arrive at the PTC at which they have scheduled to take the Examination fifteen (15) minutes prior to their scheduled appointment. At the PTC, Candidates will be asked to show "proof-of-identity." Proof-of-Identity can be shown by the Candidate by presenting a government-issued identification that bears a current photo of the Candidate (e.g., passport, driver's license, etc...), and a second piece of identification which must contain the Candidate's signature (e.g., credit card, school identification).
Prior to sitting for an Examination, Candidates will be photographed at the PTC. All Examination sessions are videotaped.
Candidates will have four (4) hours and fifteen (15) minutes to take the Examination. Prior to an Examination beginning, a tutorial will be presented to familiarize the Candidate with the Examination's format as well as computer based testing. During the Examination, Candidates can move forward or backward between items, and if they choose, mark items for later review.
C. Examination Scoring Score Reports:
Candidates' pass/fail status will not be available to Candidates at the PTC. The Candidates' score will be sent to the Board within one (1) month.
The Board will be responsible for distributing individual pass/fail results to its Candidates.
D. The South Carolina Board's passing scaled score for the computerized examination is 500. This scaled score of 500 is equivalent to the criterion-referenced passing score of 140 (70%) which was applied to the anchor form of the examination and was adopted by the ASPPB as a recommended passing score for independent practice as a psychologist.
Candidates may take the examination two times in any 12 month period. There is a 60 day waiting period required between administrations.

LA CROSSE, Wis (WEAU)- La Crosse city council president Audrey Kader is being targeted by a group demanding her recall.
The group is called the 'Restore La Crosse Committee' and they are mainly upset over the recent elimination of the Committee of a Whole.
According to one of the group leaders Greg Luce, the committee the only way citizens could talk in front of the council without having to take preliminary steps.
The group needs to collect 158 signatures which are 25% of the district 11 voters to ensure the recall.
As of Thursday morning the group only needed 25 more signatures said Luce. The recall election is predicted to take place late January or early February.
"To me it's sad. It's one of these things that a small group can stir up so much frustration on the part of so many. What concerns me is how it will take away from doing productive things in the city," said Audrey Kader in response to a question about how she was taking the latest

General information 002. Video Guide 003. Characters 004. Walkthrough 005. Credits 001-General Information ---------------------------------------------------------- This is a walkthrough for the PC game called Nancy Drew: The Haunting of Castle Malloy. It's the nineteenth game in the Nancy Drew series, and she goes to Ireland in this game. If you want to contact me, e-mail email@example.com, but make the subject something like "Nancy Drew Haunting of Castle Malloy" (or just leave it blank) so I know it's not spam mail. If you'd like to put this guide on your website, you should ask permission first. 002-Video Guide ---------------------------------------------------------- Hey! Want to see how to beat the game instead of reading about it? Well, I've got a video walkthrough, and you can see it at... http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=419E56018F3536FE This guide gives a slightly more linear game path than the video walkthrough does, but the videos have lots of description to help you find a specific part, if a specific part of the game is what you're looking for. 003-Characters ---------------------------------------------------------- Nancy Drew: Our heroine! She's a super-mystery solver, and she's about to go on vacation in Ireland. Kyler: Nancy's British friend. She wants Nancy to be her maid of honor! Matt: Kyler's groom-to-be. He has mysteriously disappeared, and it's up to Nancy to find him. Kit: Matt's best friend. He has a black eye and speaks like an American. Donal: The caretaker of Castle Malloy. AKA Grumpy Irish man who wears a cap. Brendan Malloy: The scientist who used to own Castle Malloy. Died in an explosion in the 1940's. Not much of a surprise, as he spent a lot of time dealing with explosive chemicals. Fiona: Daughter of Brendan Malloy. Donal claims that fairies caused the explosion in order to prevent her from becoming old. Seamus: The man at the Screaming Banshee Inn who tells Nancy how to work the drums and how to mix drinks. Alan Paine: Matt's best man. He got upset and left the Castle Malloy when Matt disappeared. Bess Marvin and George Fayne: Nancy's best friends, whom she can call and chat with. Ned Nickerson: Nancy's boyfriend. She can call and chat with him, too. Cathy and Carrie Dunhill: Twins who are holding a birthday party that Ned, Bess and George are attending. Minkie McNab: A girl who is chasing after Ned at the Dunhills' party. 004-Walkthrough ---------------------------------------------------------- The game starts with Nancy taking you to her room. You can click on the "How to be a Detective" for a short explanation of the game's control scheme--which is unnecessary if you've played the other Nancy Drew games and can remember how to play. You can click on the scrapbook to look at descriptions of the other games in the series. You can click on the case file to learn about the current case as well. Once you're done with that, click on the plane ticket and pick either senior or junior detective to start the game! The game starts with Nancy driving to the Castle Malloy...while talking on her cell phone. OH NOES!!! TALKING ON YOUR CELL PHONE WHILE DRIVING IS TEH BAD!!! Nancy crashes her car when something runs out in front of her car. Oh, shoot. Then, you get to control Nancy with the up/down/left/right buttons, and click to investigate something (anything you can investigate shows up with a blue outline). You can't walk too far from the lights, so about the only thing you can investigate now is the archway. There's a sliding puzzle to the right, and a picture of the finalized sliding puzzle on the left. Pick up the homemade doll on the ground. A sheep then shows up, and runs away. Head up the road to the Castle Malloy. You can go up to the front door. Knock on it to meet Donal Delaney, the grumpy Irish groundskeeper. He tells Nancy that the wedding is off, and tells her to leave. You could leave to go to the inn, but it's full, so there's really no point. Instead, back up, and look at the tower. A light is on, and Nancy figures Kyler is there. Pick up some of the rocks on the ground and toss them at the window. You want to aim the rocks below the ledge to hit the window, and you want to use small rocks or else the window breaks. Throw a few rocks up there (or a large rock) to get Kyler's attention. Kyler waves hello and signals towards the front door. Knock on it again. Donal tries to kick you out, but Kyler insists that you come in. Kyler then tells you the mystery...her husband-to-be, Matt, has gone MISSING! DUN DUN DUN!! Kyler thinks Matt is pulling a prank, but seriously, who pulls a prank like that just before his wedding? You can explore the room here. Take the book on Zodiac Astronomy from the shelf. The only other thing you can do here (besides talk to Kyler) is solve the ring puzzle, which is to the left of the table, near the lantern on the bookshelf. The ring puzzle is a classic puzzle. You need to move all the rings onto the right peg, but the trick is that you can't move a larger ring onto a smaller ring. This leads me to the trick to solving the puzzle: To move a ring from one peg to another, you must make a mini-pyramid of all the smaller rings on the remaining peg. Let me explain. Say we want to move Ring 3 from Peg 1 to Peg 3. In order to do this, we have to make a pyramid of all the smaller rings (rings 1 and 2) onto the remaining peg (peg 2). There is no other way to get Ring 3 on Peg 3. This is the general principle, and you have to use it to solve the puzzle. To move ring 5 onto Peg 3, you have to make a Ring 4-3-2-1 pyramid on Peg 2. To make a 4-3-2-1 pyramid on Peg 2 (which requires you to first move ring 4 on peg 2), you have to make a 3-2-1 pyramid on Peg 3. To make a 3-2-1 pyramid on Peg 3, you have to make a 2-1 pyramid on Peg 2. Get the idea? Junior Mode: This is a 5-ring puzzle. Here are helpful steps. 1) Start by making a 3-2-1 pyramid on Peg 3. You do it like this: Put Ring 1 on Peg 3. Put Ring 2 on Peg 2. Put Ring 1 on Peg 2. You now have a 2-1 pyramid on Peg 2. Put Ring 3 on Peg 3. Cool. Your 3-2-1 pyramid has just started. Now you have to shuffle Rings 1 and 2 to finish the pyramid. Put Ring 1 on Peg 3. Put Ring 2 on Peg 1. Put Ring 1 on Peg 2. Put Ring 2 on Peg 3. Put Ring 1 on Peg 3. Pyramid done. 2) Now you have to make a 4-3-2-1 pyramid on Peg 2. Put Ring 4 on Peg 2. Now you have a 4 pyramid on Peg 2. Time to put the other 3 rings in place. This is just like doing a 3-ring pyramid like in step one, only on a different peg. Put Ring 1 on Peg 2. Put Ring 2 on Peg 1. Put Ring 1 on Peg 1. Put Ring 3 on Peg 2. Now you have a 4-3 pyramid on Peg 2. Put Ring 1 on Peg 3. Put Ring 2 on Peg 2. Now you have a 4-3-2 pyramid on Peg 2. Put Ring 1 on Peg 2. Now your pyramid is done. 3) Now you have to make a 5-4-3-2-1 pyramid on Peg 3. Put Ring 5 on Peg 3. Now you have to put the other 4 rings in place. This is just like making a 4-ring pyramid in step two, only on a different peg. See how the puzzle is easy to solve once you get a general idea of what to do? It's just the same thing over and over. a) So, in order to make a 4-ring pyramid on Peg 3, we have to make a 3-ring pyramid on Peg 1. b) In order to make a 3-ring pyramid on Peg 1, we have to make a 2-ring pyramid on Peg 3. So...put Ring 1 on Peg 1. Put Ring 2 on Peg 3. Put Ring 1 on Peg 3. Substep b is done. Put Ring 3 on Peg 1. Put Ring 1 on Peg 2. Put Ring 2 on Peg 1. Put Ring 1 on Peg 1. Substep a is done. Put Ring 4 on Peg 3. We have a 5-4 pyramid on Peg 3 and a 3-2-1 pyramid on Peg 1. Put Ring 1 on Peg 3. Put Ring 2 on Peg 2. Put Ring 1 on Peg 2. Put Ring 3 on Peg 3. Put Ring 1 on Peg 1. Put Ring 2 on Peg 3. Put Ring 1 on Peg 3. DONE! Senior Mode: Follow steps 1-3, listed above. 4) Now that you've got a 5-4-3-2-1 pyramid on Peg 3, you get to have to fun of making a 6-5-4-3-2-1 pyramid on Peg 2. That'll let you move Ring 7 into place. Yay. To make sure no one gets lost, I'll recap every time you make a 3-2-1 pyramid, which is every seven moves or so. Put Ring 6 on Peg 2. Move Ring 1 on Peg 2. Move Ring 2 on Peg 1. Move Ring 1 on Peg 1. Move Ring 3 on Peg 2. Move Ring 1 on Peg 3. Move Ring 2 on Peg 2. Move Ring 1 on Peg 2. You now have a 3-2-1 pyramid on Peg 2, Ring 6 on Peg 2, and Rings 4 and 5 on Peg 3. Move Ring 4 to Peg 1. Move Ring 1 to Peg 1. Move Ring 2 to Peg 3. Move Ring 1 to Peg 3. Move Ring 3 to Peg 1. Move Ring 1 to Peg 2. Move Ring 2 to Peg 1. Move Ring 1 to Peg 1. You now have a 4-3-2-1 pyramid on Peg 1, Ring 6 on Peg 2 and Ring 5 on Peg 3. Move Ring 5 on Peg 2. You now have a 6-5 pyramid on Peg 2, and a 4-3-2-1 pyramid on Peg 1. Move Ring 1 to Peg 3. Move Ring 2 to Peg 2. Move Ring 1 to Peg 2. Move Ring 3 to Peg 3. Move Ring 1 to Peg 1. Move Ring 2 to Peg 3. Move Ring 1 to Peg 3. You have a 3-2-1 on Peg 3, Ring 4 on Peg 1 and 6-5 on Peg 2. Move Ring 4 to Peg 2. You now have a 6-5-4 pyramid on Peg 2 and a 3-2-1 pyramid on Peg 3. Easy enough to make that into one big pyramid... Move Ring 1 to Peg 2. Move Ring 2 to Peg 1. Move Ring 1 to Peg 1. Move Ring 3 to Peg 2. Move Ring 1 to Peg 3. Move Ring 2 to Peg 2. Move Ring 1 to Peg 2. 5) We're STILL not done? Ugh, this is trying my patience! Along with my ability to visualize the whole thing in my head. Crap. But we're halfway to the end now, at least. So let me think here... You've got a 6-5-4-3-2-1 pyramid on Peg 2, and 7 on Peg 1. Put Ring 7 on Peg 3. Put Ring 1 on Peg 1. Put Ring 2 on Peg 3. Put Ring 1 on Peg 3. Put Ring 3 on Peg 1. Put Ring 1 on Peg 2. Put Ring 2 on Peg 1. Put Ring 1 on Peg 1. You've got a 3-2-1 pyramid on Peg 1, Ring 7 on Peg 3, and 6-5-4 on Peg 2. So.. Put Ring 4 on Peg 3. Put Ring 1 on Peg 3. Put Ring 2 on Peg 2. Put Ring 1 on Peg 2. Put Ring 3 on Peg 3. Put Ring 1 on Peg 1. Put Ring 2 on Peg 3. Put Ring 1 on Peg 3. You've got a 7-4-3-2-1 on Peg 3 and 6-5 on Peg 2. You want to move the 3-2-1 on Peg 1, so you can start a 4-3-2-1 on Peg 3. Put Ring 1 on Peg 1. Put Ring 2 on Peg 2. Put Ring 1 on Peg 2. Put Ring 3 on Peg 1. Put Ring 1 on Peg 3. Put Ring 2 on Peg 1. Put Ring 1 on Peg 1. You've got a 3-2-1 pyramid on Peg 1, a 6-5 on Peg 2 and Peg 4 on Peg 3. Now you want a 4-3-2-1 on Peg 3, so... Put Ring 1 on Peg 3. Put Ring 2 on Peg 2. Put Ring 1 on Peg 2. Put Ring 3 on Peg 3. Put Ring 1 on Peg 1. Put Ring 2 on Peg 3. Put Ring 1 on Peg 3. You've got a 4-3-2-1 on peg 3, and a 6-5 on Peg 2. Move Ring 5 on Peg 1. Now it's time to get a 5-4-3-2-1 pyramid on Peg 1. First you have to move a 3-2-1 onto Peg 2, so you can move Ring 4. Put Ring 1 on Peg 2. Put Ring 2 on Peg 1. Put Ring 1 on Peg 1. Put Ring 3 on Peg 2. Put Ring 1 on Peg 3. Put Ring 2 on Peg 2. Put Ring 1 on Peg 2. Move Ring 4 on Peg 1. You should have a 5-4 on Peg 1 and a 3-2-1 on Peg 2. Put Ring 1 on Peg 1. Put Ring 2 on Peg 3. Put Ring 1 on Peg 3. Put Ring 3 on Peg 1. Put Ring 1 on Peg 2. Put Ring 2 on Peg 1. Put Ring 1 on Peg 1. Now you've got a 5-4-3-2-1 on Peg 1, Ring 6 on Peg 2 and Ring 7 on Peg 3. Move Ring 6 to Peg 3. Yes, yes, yes! We've reached a second halfway point! Out next mini-goal is a 3-2-1 on Peg 3. Put Ring 1 on Peg 3. Put Ring 2 on Peg 2. Put Ring 1 on Peg 2. Put Ring 3 on Peg 3. Put Ring 1 on Peg 1. Put Ring 2 on Peg 3. Put Ring 1 on Peg 3. Put Ring 4 on Peg 2. Now you've got 5 on Peg 1, 4 on Peg 2 and 3-2-1 on Peg 3. We need to shuffle the 3-2-1 on Peg 2. Put Ring 1 on Peg 2. Put Ring 2 on Peg 1. Put Ring 1 on Peg 1. Put Ring 3 on Peg 2. Put Ring 1 on Peg 3. Put Ring 2 on Peg 2. Put Ring 1 on Peg 2. Now you've got a 4-3-2-1 on Peg 2. Put Ring 5 on Peg 3. Ha! Getting there! It's a 7-6-5 on Peg 3 and a 4-3-2-1 on Peg 2. Let's get a 3-2-1 on Peg 1. Put Ring 1 on Peg 1. Put Ring 2 on Peg 3. Put Ring 1 on Peg 3. Put Ring 3 on Peg 1. Put Ring 1 on Peg 2. Put Ring 2 on Peg 1. Put Ring 1 on Peg 1. Put Ring 4 on Peg 3. ALMOST DONE! You've got 7-6-5-4 on Peg 3 and 3-2-1 on Peg 1. Put Ring 1 on Peg 3. Put Ring 2 on Peg 2. Put Ring 1 on Peg 2. Put Ring 3 on Peg 3. Put Ring 1 on Peg 1. Put Ring 2 on Peg 3. Put Ring 1 on Peg 3. DONE!!! Jeez, that took forever to write out. Leave the room now, and go to the other room in this hallway, which is the nursery. Nancy sees a crow stealing jewels from a wall place. HEY! THEIVING CROW! PUT THAT BACK!!! Six things to do in the nursery ------------------------------- 1) Pick up the jewel the crow dropped and put it back in its place. You need three more jewels. 2) Examine the book on the little table. It's called "Le Lapin Bleu". 3) Dolls. There's a doll puzzle here! Put the dolls like this: Cow in the upper/left corner. Pig directly under the cow. Cat four spaces left of the pig. Left of the cat is a suit of armor. Man with blue shirt directly under the cat. Blonde girl directly under the chandelier (not on the chandelier, under it). Then press "check" and you get a token. 4) Rock the rocking horse for a token. 5) Examine the ground near the fireplace. There's a pair of broken glasses. 6) Otter Puzzle. There are two solutions. Junior Mode: The pieces are in this order: 9 3 2 4 5 6 7 1 8 Put them in the proper 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 order, then rotate the pieces into place by right-clicking. Senior Mode: The pieces are in this order: 6 7 4 3 5 2 8 1 9 Put them in the proper 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 order, then rotate the pieces into place by right-clicking. For solving the otter puzzle, you get a gear for the gear puzzle that you'll solve later on. For now, go downstairs (because you can't go upstairs). Five Things to Do in the Main Hall ---------------------------------- 1) Talk to Kit Foley, the guy with the black eye. He's Matt's BFF, and he says Matt left because he's afraid to get married. 2) On the ground by the fireplace is a picture of Kit and Kyler, when the two of them were dating. You'll here more about this later, but it turns out that Kit is secretly hoping the wedding gets called off because he still has feelings for Kyler. 3) Madam Isibeal, the fortune-telling machine. Pick up the token on the ground near her and use it on the machine to get a fortune. This gives you a fortune and a weight for the weight puzzle. 4) Look at the table. The other weight for the weight puzzle is being used as a paperweight. Pick it up. 5) Look at the printing press. You could leave now, but to save time, head back upstairs to talk to Kyler. She wants you to make wedding brochures on the printing press. Before you do that, though, it's time to solve the weight puzzle! That's the puzzle on the table opposite of Kyler. The goal of the puzzle is to get all the scales to match, with a grand total of 100. Weight totals from left to right: 40 45 47 8 60 5 3 55 37 100 = 60 + 3 + 37 100 = 47 + 8 + 45 100 = 40 + 5 + 55 So put those three combinations of three weights on the scale, and you get...the thing for the sliding puzzle. Awesome. Head downstairs and go to the printing press. A printing press is like a big stamp. Put black ink on the plate (the thing to the left). Put a piece of paper on it. Then spin the wheel to stamp the ink on the paper. Put the paper on the drying machine to the right. Press the button to dry it, then put it in the box. Do this three times. Go back upstairs and ask Kyler about the wedding brochure. See, Kit is NOT the best man, even though he's Matt's BFF. What's up with that? Kyler gives you the phone number of the best man, Alan Paine. Now you can finally leave Castle Malloy. You can explore the castle grounds, but right now, all you need to do is head down the road. Stop at the archway to solve the sliding puzzle. Sliding Puzzle -------------- XXXX XXXX 34XX 12XX The key to every sliding puzzle is the order you put the pieces in. When the puzzle is solved, the missing piece goes in the upper/right corner. For some reason, this means you have to solve the lower/right corner first. Using my fancy diagram up there, do the following: Put piece 1 into place. Never move this piece again. Put piece 2 into place. Never move this piece again. Put piece 3 into place. Never move this piece again. Put piece 4 into place. Never move this piece again. Hmmm, was it really necessary for me to list out each piece separately? Maybe not. Oh well, now you've got the lower/left quadrant done. You don't need to touch any of those pieces again. 13XX 2XXX ooXX ooXX Find piece #2. Put it in spot #1. Find piece #1. Put it in spot #3. Now, you can move the empty square to spot #2, and from there, slide pieces 1 and 2 into their correct spot. You don't need to touch either of those pieces again. We repeat the process. o13X o2XX ooXX ooXX Find piece #2. Put it in spot #1. Find piece #1. Put it in spot #3. Now, you can move the empty square to spot #2, and from there, slide pieces 1 and 2 into their correct spot. You don't need to touch either of those pieces again. Now the entire left-hand side is done! ooXX ooXX oox3 oo12 Find piece #1. Put it in spot #2. Find piece #2. Put it in spot #3. Now, you can move the empty square to spot #1, and from there, slide pieces 1 and 2 into their correct spot. You don't need to touch either of those pieces again. As you might have guessed, you repeat the process. ooXX ooX3 oo12 oooo Find piece #1. Put it in spot #2. Find piece #2. Put it in spot #3. Now, you can move the empty square to spot #1, and from there, slide pieces 1 and 2 into their correct spot. Now just mix around the final three pieces until they're in place. This solves the puzzle and causes Nancy to say, "There's a piece missing." No duh, Nancy. Put the missing piece back into place (this is the piece we got from the weights puzzle) to get a printing press plate. Leave the archway. See the sign to the right that says "Bailor"? Walk to it and click it to go to the inn. Use the telephone booth here (and Nancy's calling card) to call Alan Paine to learn that Kit and Matt fought just before Matt left, and just before Kit got a black eye. Sounds like Kit made Matt mad, and Matt socked him. Good to know, I guess. Head inside the Screaming Banshee Inn and talk to Donal. He wants a drink, and Nancy gets forced to play mix maid. To play mix maid, click on a picture to see the drink. Simple drinks will have stuff like four oranges and two bubbles. In those cases, click the orange button four times, and the bubble button two times. Pull out the proper glass from below the counter, and put it on the gray mat. Then pour the drink into the glass, and put the glass onto the plate. For root beers, same thing; only put the mixing cup under the beer tap first. More complicated drinks wants something like limes or ice cubes. Do the same thing as before, just put in a lime/ice cubes/lemon wedge before sticking the drink on the plate. The most complicated drinks require blending. Do the same thing as before to get your drink ready. Then stick strawberries/ice cream/whatever into the blender. Pour your drink into the blender and hit the red button. Then, same as before, put the drink in the right glass, and put it on the plate. Fill the plates closest to the bell first. Click the bell to have the plates taken away. If you mess up at any time, toss the drink into the trash. Mix fast enough, and you get tips! Once you mix a round, you are allowed to talk to Donal for plot advancement fun. Donal thinks Matt was kidnapped by fairies, and that Nancy saw a banshee. Good to know, Donal. At the inn, you can go to the arcade. Using your mix maid tips, play darts and difference detective. If you don't know how to play darts, the red area in the middle is a bullseye. Hit it for fifty points. The green area in the middle is worth 25 points. The other areas, you'll see, are divided into little pie slices, and each slice has a number. Hit a slice, and you get the points that the slice is worth. Hit the outer ring of a slice for double points, the inner ring of a slice for triple points. The goal is to get 201 points (or more). If you hit four bullseyes and a one point, you get an easter egg. Too tough for me to try to get... Anyway, win at darts for a dog doll. That helps you solve the doll puzzle. Difference detective is a game where you spot the twelve differences between two pictures. I totally SUCK at this game. Here's the only solution I have. Solution for picture of an artist painting a woman who's posing: 1 - The artist's moustache 2 - The tip of the artist's beret 3 - The band of the woman's hat 4 - The tip of the woman's umbrella 5 - The top/right flower in the flower vase 6 - The design on the flower vase 7 - The umbrella handle 8 - The ruffles on the lower/left corner of the dress 9 - The crayon at the highest part of the crayon box 10 - The shine on the window 11 - The clip at the top of the easel 12 - The frills on the woman's waist Cheat: Save your game, then play a round of difference detective. If you lose, reload your game and play it again. You'll get the same puzzle. Do this over and over again until you beat it. You get a whistle when you win. Yays! Head back to the castle and talk to Kit about Alan Paine. Kit gives you a seating chart puzzle. The solution is the same on junior and senior mode, although the requirements differ. Henry Lori Taylor Rose Nancy John Kyler Linda Matt Richard Alan Heather Jane Kit This gets you a book on leprechauns. Okay... Now head outside the Castle Malloy and explore the grounds using the lantern you got by solving the rings puzzle. To the left of the castle is the garden. Left of that is a well and fairy ring. In the lower/left is a bog, and in the bottom/middle are three Celtic crosses. Don't worry about getting lost; there are little paths for you to follow. Head to the garden and go inside. You see the thieving crow. Time to find his nest by spinning the leprechauns. See, each leprechaun has a shamrock on its chest. If you open the book on leprechauns, you'll see that each shamrock corresponds to a specific letter. The letters tell you which way to face the leprechaun, front, right, left and back. The leprechauns should be spun so they face like this: R L B F R B F This lets you find a doll and three missing jewels for the nursery. High tail it back to the nursery. Put the missing jewels in their places. See the rainbow painted on the wall? Simply click on the jewels in rainbow order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple. INDIGO? Ugh, I dislike it when rainbows split blue into two colors. You don't see that sort of nonsense on color wheels, do you? Of course not! I digress. This opens a secret passage. Go inside to find a plank and a note card. Leave the passage to see...a floating banshee. Awesome! I mean, not awesome! It's a freaky monster!!! Leave the castle and head to the bog. Use the plank to cross into the bog, then check the note card. The note card says that two rocks is the standard. Two rocks with rocks right of them means go right. Two rocks with rocks left of them means go left. Two rocks with rocks on top of them means go forward. Two rocks with rocks in front of them means go back. The number of additional rocks tells you how many times to go. For example, if there are two rocks to the right, move right two times. Once you get through the bog maze for the first and last time, you reach the bog hut. Inside the hut, you can look at the desk to find a locked box and an unfinished doll with a doll puzzle. Pick up the doll puzzle. One the other desk are a load of herbs and a book. Read the book to learn how to make bug bane. Make some bug bane by putting tansy, pennyroyal, wormwood, thyme and catnip in the mortar. Use the pestle to mix them all up. See the bird cage with bugs in it? Use the bug bane in the bird cage to get rid of the bugs. This lets you get a mirror/looking glass. In the corner of the hut, near the door, are a bunch of wicker baskets. Open one to get a jetpack. Leave the hut now and head for the Celtic crosses (just follow the road leading right of the bog). Put the looking glass mirror thingy into the circular hole of each cross. Each cross has a date, and each cross shows a different symbol when you put the looking glass in. You'd never guess it, but this is another puzzle. </sarcasm> Head as far right as you can go to a fence. You can look at one part of the fence, and it has symbols on it. You're supposed to press the three symbols you just saw, in numerical order according to the numbers on the crosses. Or...just click on them in this order. X X X X X 1 X 2 X X X X X X X X X X X 3 X X X X Which opens the fence, giving you access to the sheep pasture. In the sheep pasture, you need to do three things. Three things to do in the sheep pasture --------------------------------------- 1) Go to the barn in the upper/left part. The wind chime has a gear in it. That's for the gear puzzle! 2) Go all the way to the right. There's a tree you can inspect here. Kit's real estate plans for Castle Malloy are there. Hmmm...why would Kit make plans like these? Is he...THE BAD GUY??? That crow seems to think so! 3) Near the bottom/middle, there's a big ring of stones. That's another puzzle to solve later. You should head over to the Screaming Banshee Inn now to talk to Donal. He'll give you a book on Ogham Runes, which lets you solve the stone puzzle. But before he can get in a lendin' mood, he needs to hear drumming. You get to drum for the band. This minigame is basically guitar hero. Press the up/right/down/left/space buttons at the appropriate times. You don't need to memorize the colors, because there are notches on the note circles that let you know which key to press. If'n you do well enough, Donal gives you the book. The book Donal gives you, combined with the book on the zodiac that you got from Kyler's library, is enough to let you solve the stone circle puzzle thing. Stone Circle Puzzle Solution ---------------------------- Use the zodiac book to recognize constellations, and the book on runes to read the runes. Runes are read from the bottom up. Good thing each rune starts with a different letter. Pillar One: Taurus Summertime Beltain Pillar Two: Leo Fall Lugnasa Pillar Three: Scorpio Winter Samhain Pillar Four: Aquarius Spring Imbolc I listed the pillars in clockwise order. Solving the puzzle gets you a printing press plate. Yay. Well, that's all you can do outside for now, so head to the Castle Malloy. Go to Kyler's room and talk to her. She gives you a list of flowers to pick. She doesn't do this unless you find Kit's real estate plans for Castle Malloy. Also in Kyler's room is a gear puzzle, under the knight's helmet on the bookcase. You have a gear from the otter puzzle in the nursery and one from the wind chime at the sheep shearing building. That's enough to solve the puzzle. The trick to the gear puzzle is simple: you alternate between big gears and little gears. That's all. If you're having real trouble with the problem, check my video guide. Solving the gear puzzle gives you a doll puzzle. Head to the nursery to solve the doll puzzle. One of them can be solved, one can't (you need another doll), and one you already solved. Doll Puzzle Solution -------------------- Cat in the upper/right corner. Kyler in the upper/left corner. Blonde two floors below the redhead. Pig two spaces right of the blonde. Dog two spaces right of the pig. Kit directly above the pig. Cow one space left of Kit. You get a token for that. Yay for getting tokens we don't need! Leave the Castle Malloy and go back in. Head to Kyler's room to hear Kit and Kyler argue about the real estate plans. Check out the area where Kit stays to find Matt's missing luggage. Aha! That's all you can do for now, so go outside and search for the flowers Kyler wants you to get. The book in the bog hut lets you know where they are. Flowers ------- Roses in the garden (go to the leprechauns, then turn around) At the archway At the front of the bog Hanging over the table in the bog hut At the bottom of one of the four stone pillars In an area left of Nancy's car In the fairy circle While you're at the bog hut, check out the sheep doll to learn that it needs stuffing. To stuff it, you need wool. Hmmm...I bet those sheep in the sheep pen have wool! Let's ask Donal! Head to Donal. Ask him about Matt's luggage, and he makes you herd all the sheep. When you see a sheep, click on the whistle to get it in the pen. (You got the whistle by beating difference detective). No choice now, really. Head to the sheep pasture and send all ten of them to the pen. Then go to Donal and ask if you could shear the sheep to get wool. Donal wants you to make three bags full. Jeez, Donal sure does love to give us chores, doesn't he? Ah, well, if I had to choose between working and staying at the bar, I'd probably choose to stay at the bar, same as him. Head to the sheep pen. Click on the whistle. Then add up the three numbers (color of the asterisks, sheep family, and the sheep's mood). Click shear, and the sheep gets shorn. If you mess up, don't worry. It just means the wool bag doesn't get any fuller. Once a bag is full, you can't shear any more sheep until you open up the wool machine to the right and get a new bag. Once you're done, take some wool and head to the bog hut. Use the wool on the sheep doll to get it. Head back to the Castle Malloy and enter the nursery for this final doll puzzle. Final Doll Puzzle ----------------- Dog in the upper/left corner Kyler in the lower/left corner Cat three spaces right of Kyler. Cow right of the cat. Kit above the cat. Sheep left of Kit. Blonde left of Sheep. Pig two right of Kit. This gives you the final plate for the printing press. You should have all four printing plates. Go to the printing press and start a-printing! The thing to do is match the binary numbers with a letter, using the piece of paper on the desk in Kyler's room. From left to right, the letters should be Y C M K (maybe things are different if you get the plates in a different order). Those are the letters of the ink bottles, you'll notice. plate Y-01011001 plate C-01000011 plate M-01001101 plate K-01001011 So, obviously, pour Y ink on the Y plate, put paper on it and run it through the press. Put the paper on the dryer. Then do the same thing for C, M, and K ink/plates. Once your paper is filled out with all four plates/colors, you're left with jetpack instructions. Go outside and use the instructions on the jetpack from the wicker basket in the bog hut. If you don't mess up, you use the jet pack to fly. Cool! Lots of people have trouble with the jet pack, so here's the official solution from the game's tech support: "- Extra tip for Jet Pack puzzle When you get to the step in the jet pack instructions where you move the lever, be sure that you click, hold and drag the lever to the correct location. Clicking on the lever more than once to move it one notch at a time appears to make the jet pack explode, even if you end in the correct location. Again, make sure to click, hold and drag the lever in one move before unclicking the mouse." Fly to the tower that's right of the entrance, the one you can't enter from inside the castle. Inside is a locked desk and a small table with a paper inside. The paper tells you how to unlock the desk. But, of course, it's not that simple. You get a list of four books and a map that are key to unlocking the desk. That's all you can do in the tower. Fly to the island located on the map (northwest of the garden). Examine the wall to see N5, which means N is letter 5 on the lock. Enter the castle and pick up the four books. They're in Kyler's library. One is on the shelf near Kyler, next to a golden horse figurine. It tells you to take the book title and remove all duplicate letters. The last remaining consonant is "L". The clue starts with the word "Three", so that means L is letter 3 on the lock. The next book is near the weights. It tells you to find the middle letter in the book title, which is X. The clue mentions four, so that means X is letter 4 on the lock. Another book is left of the desk. It mentions the seas and one, which means C is letter 1 on the lock. That's kind of pushing the clue, in my opinion, but no one asked me for my opinion. The last book is a few shelves above the ring puzzle. It's a series of instructions to play around with the book title. In the end, you get Q. Since the clue mentions 2, that means Q is letter 2 on the desk. Once you look at the books and the island on the map, head back to the tower. Enter CQLXN on the lock. This lets you read a journal about Fiona (the girl who used to live here). It also lets you see a picture of her. Most importantly, it lets you get the key to the locked box in the bog hut. These two clues about Fiona let you know that Fiona is still alive. After all, according to the family tree above the desk, Fiona is alive (as all dead people have asterisks). Easter Egg: Enter "Lapin" on the lock (as in "Le Lapin Bleu", the book in the nursery) for a hidden doll puzzle. Solve this to get an easter egg. Head to the bog hut and use the key on the little box. Inside is a note that confirms that the "banshee" is Fiona. Fiona comes in then, looking very creepy, and ends up tossing Nancy in some sort of underground cavern. Head forward. You can't do anything besides pull a lever, so pull it. This locks a door and reveals...MATT! Hey, he wasn't kidnapped by fairies after all! He's being held hostage by the crazed Fiona! Talk to Matt to fill in all your missing backstory. You can explore the lab now. Wow! Brendan Malloy really WAS a rocket scientist! The only way to get out of here is to launch that rocket. To do that, you have to do a few things. Launching the Rocket Ship ------------------------- 1) Grab a tailfin from the middle barrel (of the three barrels under the desk). Put them on the rocket ship. 2) Attach the wires at the rocket's base. 1 is red, 2 is blue, 3 is orange, 4 is yellow and 5 is green. 3) Put a cone on top the rocket. You have to make stairs to do so. Make stairs by putting to two largest triangles at the top and bottom of the staircase (rotate them to make them fit, obviously). Fill out the middle step with the square. Use a small triangle at the parallelogram for the space left of the square, and a small triangle and medium triangle for the space right of the square. That finishes the stairs; climb up them to reach the cone. 4) Chemicals puzzle. Left of the periodic table of the elements is a clipboard (and below it is a notebook--both tell you how to start the rocket). Under the clipboard is a button. Press it. This opens a chemicals puzzle. You need to sort all the chemicals into the proper categories in order to get a key. Category 1: NH3, P, Na K, Al, H Category 2: AG, H20, Cl, LOX, C, I Category 3: F, Ab, Hg, Br, Rn, Cs Eurgh, what a tough puzzle. You have to pick up each chemical JUST RIGHT. Open the claws wider than the chemical, then get as close as you can to the chemical without touching it. Snap the claws shut to grab hold of the chemical. Then move it to the proper place. That's basically all you have to do, but it's tougher than it looks, due to the game's harsh death policy. Mess up slightly, and you die. Period. Fortunately, whenever you die, the puzzle will restart from where you last left off. Once it's done, you get the key. All right! Game almost over! Head to the control station, AKA the thing with three red switches. Turn the lever in the middle to 90.1, put the key in the slot right of the lever, then flip all the switches, from left to right. BLAST OFF!!! Game over! Enjoy the ending, preview for next game, credits and outtakes. 004-Credits --------------------------------------------------------- This FAQ is copyright of The Lost Gamer, 2008.

A dramatic year in Chicago politics ends in one final dramatic flourish on New Year's Eve. Pro-LGBT Congressman Danny Davis drops out of the race to succeed Mayor Richard Daley and endorses Carol Moseley Braun, the former senator and veteran equality advocate.
Davis said he is endorsing Braun in the name of unity. "I'm proud that I will be here when Carol Moseley Braun becomes the next mayor," Davis said. "I come here tonight...to help prove unity is more than just a concept."
The announcement at Davis' West Loop headquarters came after African-American leaders met privately for days with the candidates in an attempt to unify behind a single contender who could improve the odds of an African-American winning the Feb. 22 election. Davis and Braun both had insisted Thursday that they would keep running for Chicago mayor. Then they met again today, leading to Davis' departure from the contest.
Last week saw the departure of outspoken anti-gay mega-church pastor and Illinois State Sen. James T. Meeks, who has called homosexuality "an evil sickness" and was the only black legislator voting against the recent landmark vote on civil unions.
Davis is a veteran progressive in Chicago politics and scores 100% by the Human Rights Campaign on LGBT issues. Davis opposed the Defense of Marriage Act, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and supports marriage equality. Davis endorsed and spoke at the National Equality March in October 2009.
In 1992, Braun became the first Black woman elected to the United States Senate. Braun has long been a champion of gay rights, was one of only 14 Senate votes to oppose DOMA in 1996 and also voted against DADT. In 2007, Braun was inducted into the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame as a Friend of the Community.
The mayoral field includes former White House Chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, former School Board President Gery Chico and City Clerk Miguel del Valle. Davis' departure clears the field for Braun to run as the Black consensus candidate. The Chicago Tribune adds the unspoken reality "is that black and white voters are still focused on race more than two decades after the late Harold Washington was elected the city's first African-American mayor."

Less swearing, Astros County. Not sure why you would be unhappy to have Pena and Cedeno released. This is what was going to happen the whole time. The front office took on short-term contracts on the cheap, hoping to catch lightning in a bottle then trade them at the trade deadline. Probably a 1 in 5 chance of success. Goodbye Ankiel, Fernandez, Pena and Cedeno, but hello Bedard, who should be a pretty reasonable trade chip (well at least until he couldn't throw 170 pitches to complete his no-hitter). Bedard has been pretty damn good recently.
- July 23, 2013 at 12:01 AM
To me, this means that there was very little in the way of trade interest for either player. :-( oh well, no prospects back.

NBA superstar Amar'e Stoudemire is so passionate about promoting literacy that he has a tattoo on his forearm that says "Read." This week, the 29-year-old captain of the New York Knicks is translating that ink to the page with a new book series he's written for middle-graders called "STAT: Standing Tall and Talented."
Titled after his nickname, "STAT" is based on Stoudemire's life as a middle schooler. Published by Scholastic, the kickoff title, "Home Court," is written from his perspective as a 6-foot 11-year-old who played basketball informally with friends and dabbled with skateboarding, baseball and football in Lake Wales, the small Florida city where he grew up.
"Double Team," out in October, follows Stoudemire as he's courted by more elite players and forced to weigh the importance of basketball and true friendship. A third title is planned for release in January. According to a Scholastic spokesperson, the series is likely to be ongoing, although just three books have been signed.
"Kids need to enjoy reading and not see it as a chore," said Stoudemire, a "proud father of three" who says he didn't read enough as a child and is now "always" reading to his kids (ages 7, 5 and 4). He said he wrote "STAT" to give kids more opportunities to read books as entertainment.
The "STAT" series is an extension of the work that the six-time NBA All-Star is already doing through his Amar'e Stoudemire Foundation, which focuses on creatively inspiring young people to avoid poverty through education. That theme is carefully woven into the "Home Court" story line through the tall-for-his-age Stoudemire, who does his homework, helps out his dad, gets along with his brother and is supportive of his friends as they confront a trio of older bullies hogging the neighborhood basketball court.
"It gives a lot of messages about the responsibility of working and doing homework and learning to be leaders with my friends and be a positive influence," said Stoudemire, who co-wrote the books with "the help of the Scholastic team."
"Home Court" leverages Stoudemire's status as a role model with messaging that is relentlessly positive — a tone that might not fly with an older readership. Yet the settings, the characters and the language they use to interact with each other keeps the book from feeling too earnest, and it's likely to appeal to the series' target audience of 8- to 12-year-old boys who dream of following in Stoudemire's size 16 footsteps.
"All boys love sports. When I was young, I always looked for sports books at the bookstore," said Stoudemire, who counts "Rumpelstiltskin" among his childhood favorites along with biographies of Andrew Jackson and Jackie Robinson. These days, he's such an avid reader of history he said he'd go back to school and major in it.
Stoudemire's interest in the past is also apparent in "Home Court." One of the young Stoudemire's school assignments is to write a report onMartin Luther King Jr., which he ties together with his experience defending himself and his friends from the neighborhood bullies on the basketball court.
"Dr. King stood up for what he believed was right against tough odds, and I'd sort of done that too. Of course, he was fighting for equal rights for all people, and I just thought it was wrong that some older kids were acting like jerks and kicking my friends and me off our home court. ... You gotta start somewhere!" he writes.
As for the bullying theme in "Home Court," Stoudemire said it was partly based on his childhood and addresses a modern phenomenon that many educators and parents see as an epidemic.
"There's always guys trying to bully younger players and get 'em off the court. That's close to my heart because I know it happens all the time," said Stoudemire, who wanted to show basketball players as literate, respectful and taking care of their community as they confront their aggressors. He said there are many ways to handle bullying, but the attitude he expresses in the book is just like his nickname. "Stand up to it. Handle it with authority. Play some basketball to see who's best."

A documentary featuring Arnon Goldfinger, Hannah Goldfinger, Edda Milz von Mildenstein, Harald Milz, Gertrude Kino, Tamar Tuchler, and Michael Wildt.
In the 1930s, two German couples visited Palestine together. One couple, the Tuchlers, was Jewish. The husband in the other couple, the von Mildensteins, was the predecessor of Adolf Eichmann, Nazi propagandist and eventual war criminal. Baron von Mildenstein wrote an article about the trip, "A Nazi in Palestine," for a Nazi newspaper.
Both men in fact were ardent Zionists, of course for different reasons. Von Mildenstein believed that encouraging Germany's Jews to emigrate to Palestine was a practical solution to "The Jewish problem," and used his position to encourage his thinking with Hitler and Goebbels. As the Holocaust began to take shape, the Tuchlers sailed for Palestine. Remarkably, after the war, they reached out to their old friends the von Mildensteins, and the friendship was restarted, the couples remaining close and friendly.
"The Flat," a spellbinding documentary about family secrets, begins when the maker of this film, Arnon Goldfinger, joins his mother in cleaning out the Tel Aviv flat of his grandmother, her mother, who had just died at 98. They find the possessions of a lifetime, and among them, the long-ago newspaper article. His grandparents were friendly with a high Nazi official? More than that: Arnon's mother, Hannah, tells him that the couples resumed their friendship.
Unable to understand how this could be, Arnon begins unraveling the secrets of the past, traveling to Germany with his mother to visit von Mildensteins' daughter, still alive, and talk to family members on both sides and historians. That all these older people are still alert and articulate brings a particular interest to the wording of their conversations.
For her part, Hannah has no interest in this. "What for?" she says, implying that what's past is past. Who knows why anyone did anything? Von Mildensteins' daughter also seems disinterested in her father's activities, explaining that he was never a member of the SS and in fact, spent much of the war traveling in America and Japan. Even after Tuchler shows her a document in her father's handwriting mentioning his propaganda work with Goebbels, the most she can admit is that this has awakened her interest.
Is something being hidden? No. It's more that something doesn't want to be known. Both second-generation women in the film are willfully disinterested in their family's histories in the Holocaust, and a discussion about this between the Tuchlers on a train in Germany tiptoes around that as they discuss how to approach Edda Milz von Mildenstein, the daughter.
What we see in the meetings here between Jews and Germans are professional people — prosperous, educated, friendly — for whom mentioning Nazis or murder would violate taboos. Only the third generation became interested, a historian tells Goldfinger. In the second, the memories were repressed. One can imagine a vengeful Goldfinger storming down on the von Mildensteins, but in a way the reticence and ambiguity on both sides is more meaningful. You understand why "nobody knew" about the Holocaust. Everybody fervently wanted not to know.
I cannot describe for you the film's closing scene, in the rain, in a German Jewish cemetery. A surprising discovery there brings the enigma to an oddly poetic conclusion. "The past is never dead," William Faulkner wrote. "It's not even past."

It matters because as good as a team is there are always teams that match up better against them despite the standings. Every top team probably has about two teams that are their Achilles heal.
Philly is that Achilles Heal for the Pens. The Flyers have quietly put together a very solid season but are still largely inconsistent and just not as good as the Pens, but they know how to get under the skin of our guys and that levels the playing field.

Stopping Spam by Dumping it in a Blackhole
Mail servers today are especially overburdened with Spam. This is actually costing organizations millions of dollars in purchasing hardware just to process the Spam. It takes server memory and CPU cycles to determine if an email is Spam or not and as Spam increases new servers have to be built to separate the good from the bad. Using Blackholes is a way to reduce the load on your server. Blackholes are databases of known Spammers that are kept so that you can include them in your mail server configuration to eliminate those email without having your mail server process each email. However, when using blackholes these DNS blacklists require Postfix to do a DNS lookup which will take resources from your server and create latency. However, this can be a significant reduction in Spam.
Gete more information about Postfix on a daily basis…try the Postfix Blog.
The examples below are for a Postfix Mail Server. One thing to note, there are a lot of Blackholes online, you need to check them closely to be sure they meet the needs of your organization. The ones we list are simply examples.
In the example below two kinds of lists are used to block spam, these are only illustrations you should research your list carefully. Each list will have an address that you can enter to access the list. These two are combined in one address. That address is then entered into your smtpd restrictions.
Exploits Block List (http://www.spamhaus.org/xbl/index.lasso)
The following information is taken from spamhaus site.
"The Spamhaus Exploits Block List (XBL) is a realtime database of IP addresses of illegal 3rd party exploits, including open proxies (HTTP, socks, AnalogX, wingate, etc), worms/viruses with built-in spam engines, and other types of trojan-horse exploits."
The Spamhaus Block List (http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/index.lasso)
The following information is taken from spamhaus site.
"The SBL is a realtime database of IP addresses of verified spam sources and spam operations (including spammers, spam gangs and spam support services), maintained by the Spamhaus Project team and supplied as a free service to help email administrators better manage incoming email streams.
The SBL is queriable in realtime by mail systems thoughout the Internet, allowing email administrators to identify, tag or block incoming connections from IP addresses which Spamhaus deems to be involved in the sending or origination of Unsolicited Bulk Email (aka "Spam").
The SBL database is maintained by a dedicated international Spamhaus team based in 9 countries, working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to list new confirmed spam issues and – just as importantly – to delist resolved issues."
These two lists are combined into this address.
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
warn_if_reject reject_non_fqdn_recipient
check_helo_access pcre:/etc/postfix/helo_checks
check_sender_mx_access cidr:/etc/postfix/bogus_mx
reject_rbl_client sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org
Address Sender Verification
One of the best methods of restricting SPAM is to require address verification. This means that Postfix will initiate a SMTP session with the client's server to verify that it is a legitimate address. This takes time and resources but…it a very effective way to deal with SPAM. You will need to add the reject_unverified_sender option.
smtpd_recipient_restrictions =

There is a way to enhance this process. One thing that Postfix will do is to cache the addresses it checks out and saves them in memory. This is great because the system will not have to look the same address up again…unless you restart the server as the memory will lose the addresses. However, you can tell Postfix to write the addresses to a map file that will allow Postfix to cache them permanently. Use the address_verify_map feature to make this work.
address_verify_map = btree:/var/spool/postfix/verified_senders
If you did not want to cache the negative sender addresses you can use this parameter.
address_verify_negative_cache = no
