Pets, Pets, Pets
The Metropolitan Dog Club paints such a colorful pooch palette- creating a pet trust, investigating animal cruelty, investing in dog fine art, toasting Uno the Westminster winning Beagle at Grand Central- the speakers' topics span the spectrum of dogdom. Each gathering of the Metropolitan Dog Club is more than a meeting; it's a social event.
"We're a salon of dog thoughts," says Charlotte Reed, president and driving force behind the newly formed Metropolitan Dog Club (MDC) while talking about a group that supports various canine charities. Established as a not-for-profit based in NYC during the summer of '07, the MDC, an active, community cultural/service organization, ventures beyond the traditional purebred dog club. Sharing a common interest in all things canine, the participants, including many men, are show fanciers, sportsmen, trainers, veterinarians, rescue folk, writers, pet industry professionals and lots of enthusiastic dog owners.
A kick-off cocktail party, then a panel discussion about dog ownership and real estate trends generated sponsorship for a puppy that will be raised in Puppies Behind Bars, Inc. a program at 7 NY area prisons that trains inmates to raise service dogs for the disabled and law enforcement. Our Lab pup, aptly named "Metro", is slated to become an explosive detection canine. Puppies like "Metro" also benefit their inmate foster parents who themselves are given a chance to give back to society.
Some of the esteemed speakers are also MDC members. When Dr. Donald F. Smith, dean emeritus of Cornell Univ. School of Veterinary Medicine, spoke about promoting healthy pets in the age of genetic medicine and managed care, presentation proceeds were donated to Morris Animal Foundation, the world's largest nonprofit research foundation dedicated to improving the lives of companion animals as well as wildlife.
During the winter other MDC members-Alan Fausel of Bonhams gallery and the Antique Roadshow gave advice about purchasing dog art and tempted guests to bid on the Duke of Windsor Pug collars (See Beacon "Pets" 1/24/08 online) while David Frei, USA Network's cohost, discussed the 132nd Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show and Angel on a Leash, Westminster's pet therapy program. Charlotte Reed also hosted a separate benefit auction for Angel on a Leash attended by many of the Angel therapy dogs, along with a very special English Springer Spaniel- James, the 2007 Westminster Best In Show (BIS) champion. James, now retired from the show ring, is a certified therapy dog spending much of his time with Alzheimer patients.
MDC president, Charlotte Reed, author of the Miss Manners Complete Book of Dog Etiquette (Adams Media 2007; $12.95) is the Perle Mesta of the dog world. She's the ultimate pet socialite, a dynamo former Wall Street attorney who knows how to get things done. Charlotte devotes much of her time to animal causes. She serves on both the Angel on a Leash and NYS Veterinary Boards, and is forever planning benefits. Presently she is on the Bide- A -Wee, Philadelphia SPCA and Seattle Humane gala committees.
Every detail of a MDC event such as the chocolate Doberman, presented to honor BIS judge Dr. J. Donald Jones, a former Dobie breeder, at the Grand Central BIS Brunch with Uno, is pure canine chic a la Charlotte. (The candy trophy also proves Westminster is not fixed- The dog show is over at 11 PM; no time to whip up a breed specific statue for a BIS brunch the next morning, unless, of course, acclaimed chocolatier Martine stays up all night. Uh, oh, she might do that for Ms. Reed.)
Viewers of reality show Animal Precinct on Animal Planet would recognize Dr. Robert Reisman, of the ASPCA Bergh Hospital, and Officer Joe Pentangelo, assistant director of humane law enforcement. Both described the signs of animal abuse, and emphasized that suspects come from all walks of life. In one heartbreaking case, a Cavalier was beaten to death by his owner- a cardiologist.
Last week Frances Carlisle, a trusts and estate attorney outlined proper financial planning to provide for beloved pets. She stated "there's trouble aplenty with the $12 million that Leona Helmsley willed to her dog Trouble" because her attorney did not follow NYS Pet Trust law. Trouble's exorbitant inheritance has spawned 40 dog napping threats costing $200,000 a year in round the clock security; Helmsley's brother, the trustee, does not want the moneyed Maltese, and Leona's final wish to have the dog's ashes interred in her mausoleum goes against cemetery law.
The young Metropolitan Dog Club (www.metropolitandogclub. org)) has momentum as it strives to become one of the most prestigious (and charitable) dog clubs in the country. Upcoming MDC events include May's discussion of the effects of today's economy on the pet product trade; later a canine fine art exhibit open to NYC elementary school students too, an even bigger Westminster BIS brunch, and hopefully, a dog film festival which will have to begin with the short documentary about Malcolm.
Who's Malcolm, you ask? In 1999 the late actress Sylvia Sidney bequeathed her 14 year old Pug Malcolm to the National Arts Club in Gramercy Park. Malcolm had the run of the exclusive old mansion. He even posed as a gondolier at a "Night in Venice". The MDC holds meetings at the National Arts Club, right next to the Pug treasures immortalizing Malcolm's stay. A fitting venue for a dog film festival; a perfect tie-in for the Metropolitan Dog Club.
For Adoption: Shelter dogs are not as fortunate as Trouble or Malcolm. The duo shown here, now at Oyster Bay Town Shelter (677-5784) Miller Pl. Syosset, finds themselves unloved and homeless. "Magnolia" #270 a lovely Shepherd mix has stained teeth but a sparkling personality. "Puff" #264, a longhaired tabby, is a stray turned in with his identical brother "Runt" #265.
More Dogs: "Chestnut" #1116- a 4 yr. Retriever/Pit; "Doggie" #126-black Sharpei mix.
Cats: "Buddy" #302 & "Spackle" #207- both feline studies in black & white.
Reminder: Last Hope Pit Bull Predicament Conference at Suffolk Community Brentwood this Sat. 5/3 at 9 AM. See www.lasthopeanimalrescue.org. Please attend.

Olsen twins design £34,375 backpack with Damien Hirst
The actresses-turned-fashionistas have made just 12 of the black patent, Nile crocodile leather bags for their fashion line The Row. Each is adorned with different designs.
The pricey accessory, described as "wearable art", isn't the first expensive item the Olsen twins have produced for their label - earlier this year (12), the pair released an exclusive purse, which retailed at £24,375 and immediately sold out.
Hirst is no stranger to celebrity collaborations - he joined forces with Red Hot Chili Peppers star Flea last year (11) to release a colourful line of bass guitars for charity.

Bob Horvitz
Learning from worms
H. Robert Horvitz has devoted much of his career to studying the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans. Only 1 mm long and containing fewer than 1000 cells, C. elegans has proved to be remarkably informative for studying many biological problems, including the genetic control of development and behavior and the mechanisms that underlie neurodegenerative disease.
A simple nervous system
Horvitz's work has influenced many areas of biology over the years, but neuroscience has always been a central interest. By hunting for genetic mutations that affect C. elegans behaviors, Horvitz has revealed much about the genetic control of brain function, including how neural circuits control specific behaviors and how behavior is modulated by environment and experience. Many of the chemical signals used by the worm's nervous system are also present in the human brain. For example, Horvitz showed that serotonin, a neurotransmitter implicated in the control of human mood and appetite, also regulates the movement of worms. This finding has led to several new genes that affect serotonin signaling, which could help to identify potential targets for human drug development.
Understanding neurodegeneration
Another major theme of Horvitz's work is cell death. Apoptosis, or cell death, is a central feature of human neurodegenerative disease. Horvitz has shown that cell death is often an active process, and that many of the genes that control the deaths of worm neurons have counterparts in the human brain. Understanding how these genes operate has provided new insights into normal brain development as well as the pathological processes involved in many brain disorders. His discoveries might lead to new treatments for certain retinal degenerative diseases as well as for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases, stroke and traumatic brain injury. Horvitz has recently begun to study the genetic basis of aging, and one of his aims is to understand how aging drives the degenerative process in conditions such as Alzheimer's disease.
In October 2002, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Horvitz, Sydney Brenner, and John El Sulston "for their discoveries concerning genetic regulation of organ development and programmed cell death." Watch Horvitz's Nobel lecture below.
Searching for human disease genes
In addition to his work on C. elegans, Horvitz also has a longstanding interest in human neurodegenerative disease. He was a principal member of the team that in 1993 identified the first gene to cause familial ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), and in collaboration with colleagues at Massachusetts General Hospital he continues to work on the search for additional ALS genes.
H. Robert Horvitz, a founding member of the McGovern Institute, is the David Koch Professor in the Department of Biology, and an investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Horvitz received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1974 and has been a faculty member at MIT's Department of Biology since 1978. In 2002 he shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering and characterizing the genes controlling cell death in the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a foreign member of the Royal Society of London, and a recipient of the Gairdner Foundation International Award, the Alfred P. Sloan, Jr. Prize from the General Motors Cancer Research Foundation, and the Bristol-Myers Squibb Award for Distinguished Achievement in Neuroscience. In 2005, he was awarded the James R. Killian Faculty Achievement Award which recognizes extraordinary professional accomplishment by full-time members of the MIT faculty.

Techtorial: Walmart has just revealed its ultimate Black Friday deals for this year and it's looking really good for consoles and video games.
I'm getting.......
Need 4 Speed :Most Wanted
Twisted Metal
There are some great deals in there but there are also a few duds.
For starters, the Xbox controllers at $39.96. I've consistently found Xbox controllers on Amazon for under $40. Also, the 16GB Wi-fi iPad 2 for $399? That's the same price Apple has been selling them for (with the personal engraving) since the third-gen iPad was announced.
At least most of their game deals look pretty good. Not worth being trampled to death or having deal with 'Wal-Mart people' to obtain, but good deals, nonetheless.
4 GB xbox 360 for $150? i'm so getting that, screw skylanders though i'll trade that garbage in to gamestop.
Game deals available only in store 0_o and my interest dropped to complete zero...
Now, i want to know about Steam's sale. I'll probably end up broke.

Rated 1 out of 5 by SewerGal1 from Cheap material I am an avid Bebe shopper and normally love 99% of their clothes, but this top was a disappointment. The material is very thin, flimsy and cheap. In fact the material is so thin that when I received this top I noticed that there were 3 tiny holes in it. Naturally it went back for a refund. This certainly wasn't up to Bebe quality!

The Carteret County Sheriff�s Office closed out the year with a homicide investigation with ties to Onslow County.
Homicide case closes out 2013
The Carteret County Sheriff�s Office closed out the year with a homicide investigation with ties to Onslow County.
Curtis Liddell Pate, 29, of Richlands was arrested Dec. 14 and charged with an open count of murder in connection with the death of 33-year-old Gary Harris, a Marine veteran who owned a construction business with his brothers.
Pate is accused of stabbing Harris in the neck during an altercation at Harris� apartment in Cedar Point in western Carteret County.
The case remains under investigation.
Tornado hits Carteret County
Atlantic Beach and Morehead City residents had much to be thankful for after a tornado spun through their communities just before the Thanksgiving holiday without causing serious injury.
The Nov. 26 tornado did, however, cause significant damage as it traveled a five-mile path from Bogue Banks to Morehead City.
The National Weather Service confirmed that the tornado came ashore at Atlantic Beach, causing EF-2 damage to the Ocean Sands and Island Beach, where the roof was torn off, and Racquet Club condominiums. A dozen or so residents had to be evacuated from the condos due to the damage.
It then tracked across Bogue Sound to Morehead City at the Carteret Community College as an EF-1 tornado.
Before heading back out over waters of the Newport River, the tornado also caused damage at Carteret General Hospital and residential areas of Mandy Farms, Country Club Run and Crab Point.
Opposition to proposed wind turbines
A proposal that would put wind turbines nearly 500 feet tall on property outside of Newport has raised widespread concern among Carteret County residents and officials.
Texas-based Torch Renewable LLC has proposed plans for a wind and solar energy facility on more than 7,000 acres in the Mill Creek area of the county. The proposed site includes land in the county�s jurisdiction and part in the extra-territorial jurisdiction of the Town of Newport.
While the company had not made formal application to the state or local governments as the end of the year neared, a variety of concerns were raised during community forums held on the issue in December.
One of the concerns is the impact on military flight training at Cherry Point, with potential impacts to radar use and flight obstruction from the turbines. There have also been concerns raised about public health and impacts to the tourism industry and property values.
The Carteret County Board of Commissioners will be considering a moratorium on the permitting of wind energy facilities in order to review its regulations.
Turtle habitat plan sparks county concerns
Carteret County took a lead role in opposing a federal proposal intended to protect habitat along the coast for loggerhead sea turtle.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service have related proposals designating land and marine areas along the coasts of six states as critical habitat for the sea turtles.
During public hearings held by the federal agencies in Carteret County during the fall, county officials and residents spoke against the proposal, particularly along Bogue Banks.
County officials said they support protections for the sea turtles but that multiple measures are already in place to protect the threatened loggerheads under the Endangered Species Act. There are concerns that the proposal will create unnecessary and burdensome additional regulations.
Due to concerns, Carteret County commissioners approved a Notice of Intent to sue the Fish and Wildlife Service if the proposed rules proceed.
Senior living center shutters, evicts residents
Concerns about the closing and eviction of residents of a senior living facility in Morehead City in August prompted an investigation by the state.
The Consumer Protection Division of the N.C. Department of Justice opened an investigation after receiving complaints about the closing of Harborview Towers and is monitoring the bankruptcy process now underway.
Residents of the facility were notified in July that they would have to move out by the end of August.
While the company owning the building, Haborview Enterprises LLC, has cited the economic situation and turmoil in the real estate market as reasons for the closing, residents say the issue is one of mismanagement and they are the ones losing money as well as their home.
At issue is the return of a portion of the occupancy fee paid when residents moved in. Residents say they signed agreements that they�d get 80 percent back within two years of vacating their residence.
With the closing and financial issues, they fear they won�t see the return of their money. Several lawsuits have been filed by former residents or their estates over breach of contract over the refunds.
Mayoral races take spotlight in Carteret
The November municipal elections in Carteret County, mayoral races in two towns took the spotlight as voters filled vacancies left by the retirement of longtime mayors.
In the Town of Newport, voters elected a new mayor for the first time in nearly four decades.
Former Mayor Derryl Garner, who retired after 36 years of service to the town, turned over the gavel to Dennis Barber during the town�s board�s December meeting. Barber, a deputy with the Carteret County Sheriff�s Office and newcomer to the political scene, was the overwhelming choice of voters in a
While the candidate filing period in Newport was extended due to an initial lack of candidates, it was the opposite in the Town of Emerald Isle.
The interest in the mayoral race grew quickly after the announcement by Mayor Art Schools that he would retire after 12 years of service to the town.
Four newcomers put their names on the ballot and drew the interest of voters, who packed the town�s gymnasium for the candidate forum.
Eddie Barber was elected and took the oath of office in December. Joining Barber on the ballot were Ryan Ayre, Brandon Staton, and Don Wells.

He didn't really feel as though this were that big a deal. Considering what he had to go through the last few weeks, he thought that this would be a piece of cake. Bella just went on a walk, and lost track of time.
Until he found out what really happened. When he had heard that Bella was missing, he had panicked. Where could she be? He ran all the way to the Swan household. Charlie was outside, looking anxious. He gave no sign that he noticed Jacob's arrival, but for a nod of the head.
"Charlie," Jacob nodded back. The worry in his tone was evident. Maybe that was what persuaded Charlie to look at Jacob.
"She went out with that Edward boy," he spat without preamble. "That was almost three hours ago. We have people scouting the forests. They were headed in that direction," he said, indicating the pathway to his left. " 'Figured they were going for a walk."
Jacob thought about this. "How do you know they're not still together? Not still walking, or have gone to his house?"
"I saw him." Jacob rose an eyebrow.
"When? Where?"
"About an hour ago. He passed by the house. 'Said that he needed to retrieve something from Bella's room and that she would be coming out shortly. No need to worry. Then he left."
"Just like that? Didn't say anything else?"
"Strange," Jacob said, thinking. He glanced up at Charlie. "Did he look different to you? Different than when he went into the forest?"
"Come to think of it," Charlie said gruffly, "he did. He looked sad.. Well, maybe that's too strong a word. He looked.. somber. Solemn. Like he just did something that put a bad taste in his mouth."
Jacob nodded, as if he expected as much. He then proceeded to nod again, clearly coming to a decision of some sort. "I'll find him. Where do the Cullens live?"
"Not sure. Bella always drove there, or got picked up. Maybe you can call Alice? She's a nice girl; she'll tell you if he's there." Charlie passed his phone to Jacob, the number already dialed. Jacob hit the call button.
Ring, ring. Ring, ring.
"Hello," greeted a tinkling voice.
"Hello, Alice this is Jacob Black. I know it must seem strange for you to be getting a call from me, but I'd like to know if you have seen your brother Edward in the past hour? It's very important that I speak to him."
"Jacob Black, you said? I'm afraid I have seen Edward, but it won't do you much good. He ;eft about ten minutes ago, all his things packed into some duffle bags."
"He didn't tell you where he was going?"
"I'm afraid not. He was very quiet. Jasper thinks he may be upset. I suspect there may be som trouble in paradise for him."
"You think he and Bella got into a fight? Well, you may not be far off," Jacob said. "If it's not any trouble, do you think I may ask another question?"
"Yes, of course. What is it?"
"Did you happen to see what way he was headed?"
"Yes, I did. He looked set for La Push."

Statins may be taken alone or taken with other cholesterol medicines such as fibric acid derivatives, bile acid sequestrants, or nicotinic acid. Statins may also be combined with other types of medicines into one pill.
Statins are used to lower LDL cholesterol. Statins can help lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and death in people who are at high risk of a heart attack or stroke.
Statins and statin combinations can:

I started off positive and then said I liked law school and didn't think it was that hard and that I liked my classmates and all of a sudden I was at about -20. I also think students at the T3/T4 are trigger-happy with the negative reputation score whenever anyone states the truism that their job prospects are not as good. And if you can't go to an anonymous message board to get opinions on what people REALLY think, then where can you go? I think that makes me more antagonistic on message boards than in real life.
I think they've formed an alliance with Jacy85.
Don't put too much stock in reputation, Ive got 20+ posts with 0 reputation and I assure you all that Im the worst kind of person. --- And I laughed out loud when Peaches blamed his poor reputation on kids from T3/T4 schools.... I heard a T3 graduate was behind the poor intelligence that led us into a war w/ Iraq. just a rumor.

Scientists "see" Ghosts
Posted 07 December 2009 - 11:16 AM
I don`t have a problem with anyone that tries to debunk something, but all to often we see the scientific community make bad conclusions from their research & they dont properly apply it to every possibility.
Posted 07 December 2009 - 07:37 PM
That's a good example of matrixing and how it also applies to sound and smell. Have you ever had a fan going in the summer to take the edge off of the heat? Ever hear what sounds like a whisper or a low chatter while that fan is on? How about smelling a few scents compbined? Two or three different scents combined might make one think the odor is something completely different.
Funny you mention that...I have to run a small fan at night for background noise or I can't sleep. I've noticed on a few occasions that it sounds like people whispering. I always kind of just guessed it was the fan because it's always very faint and unintelligible and I only notice it at night in my bedroom with the fan going.
Posted 14 December 2009 - 05:03 AM
Annie`s statement is correct, plus,.... Our mind isn`t alwas playing those tricks when we capture something on film or video. Plus there`s the ectoplasmic substance in the air that helps ghosts actually appear. This ecto is very strong in the dark, but extremely weak in the light.
I don`t have a problem with anyone that tries to debunk something, but all to often we see the scientific community make bad conclusions from their research & they dont properly apply it to every possibility.
But bad light plays tricks with video or film as much as it does with our eyes; in fact, it produces just the ambiguous images the initial post mentions. Your precise knowledge regarding ectoplasm surprises me - is there a sample somewhere that has been studied?
I have always wondered why ghosthunts are nearly always done in the dark. I've never seen the logic in it, why would ghosts care about light? Indeed, I've always understood that ghosts detract energy from their surroundings in order to manifest themselves (therefore the mysterious 'cold spots'). As lightsources have ample energy I would therefore expect ghosts to manifest themselves in well-lit rather than dark surroundings.
I am especially surprised to find that, in all of the many TV shows of this genre at least, people turn off all the lights, but then use flashlights to find their way around. So a certain amount of light is OK. Why? To me the explanation has always seemed obvious: because this creates the ideal circumstances for our senses to play tricks on us.
(And with regard to apparent movement: I vividly remember a class in college about the suggestibility of our senses. The teacher darkened the classroom and switched on a small red light he said he was holding in his hand. "I'm now walking to the right," he said, and indeed the light moved to the right. "Now to the left," and again the light moved in that direction. Then he switched on the room lights again and it turned out the little red lamp had been stationary on his desk all the time. In bad lighting conditions and when there is a lack of reference points it is easy to perceive movement where there is none).

theres no doubt that bad lighting or lack of lighting can play with your mind and make you think you see things you in fact,dont.i have no doubt thats why the tv ghost hunters turn the lights off,added drama.its a tv show,regardless what tv show it is the 1st objective is ratings.you cant get em youre off the air.it might make some degree of sense to have as little light as possible,seeing as the most popular belief is that these beings are made of energy,if that is indeed the case it might be easier to see them or the light their energy gives off with as little light as possible.of course the flash light is to give you vision.searching in pitchblack would be ill advised regardless of if it gets results or not.think of it like this:maybe its like watching a meteor shower,or the stars in general even.what youre seeing is not the things themself but the light (energy)they give off.my family lives in a small desert town and when i go see them and look up at the night sky its hard to believe its the same one that hangs over LA.the difference:way more light in bigger cities.less light you produce,the more clearly you can see whats going on with the light coming from another source.this is not my conclusive opinion,just a suggestion to believers and skeptics alike,instead of viewing it in black and white and arguing why lights off is or is not pointless,think of it from every perspective.the one i offered,if ghosts do exist and are in fact energy,makes sense.doesnt mean its right just a way to look at it.
"And with regard to apparent movement: I vividly remember a class in college about the suggestibility of our senses. The teacher darkened the classroom and switched on a small red light he said he was holding in his hand. "I'm now walking to the right," he said, and indeed the light moved to the right. "Now to the left," and again the light moved in that direction. Then he switched on the room lights again and it turned out the little red lamp had been stationary on his desk all the time. In bad lighting conditions and when there is a lack of reference points it is easy to perceive movement where there is none"
a highschool teacher did something insanely similar to this but with a lazer pointer on the white board.i have to admit i thought it was staying still the whole time(not to say im immune to suggestibility,maybe i suggested to myself that he was a prankster and a chucklehead and so i didnt see movement because of that).this is,however,an excellent example of how most,if not all movements in a poorly lit area could be explained.especially if the people are looking for something like this.it gets weirder though when the lighting isnt so poor,or even if it is still poor, and a group of people see the same thing move whens ghosts was far from any of their minds.
the only problem i have with this is that many people will apply the same logic to why someone sees something move in front of their very eyes in a brightly lit room when they arent in a place they assume to be haunted.to me its ridiculous to apply bad lighting playing tricks on your mind while youre seeing what you want to see due to suggestibilty,to a scenario where someone is seeing something in a bright room in a place they do not believe previously to be haunted.excerpt from a conversation that i heard in real life after someone who is a hardcore skeptic (and a friend) saw a chair wobble and fall down in my old kitchen,seemingly of its own accord "i dont believe in ghosts,but i was over at tommys it was 1pm with the lights on and i heard something in the kitchen.i went in there and one of the chairs was wobbling violently,after a few seconds it tipped over.no one else was in the room and i have no clue how that could have happened.im not saying it was a ghost,or anything else but it scared the s**t out of me and i left the room"said the friend who is still a skeptic to this day but is far more open to the possibility of such things.
other skeptic replied,"well you were over at tommys where tons of 'things' supposedly happen(not true by the way this was the 2nd thing that ever happened in that house and the 1st thing certainly didnt weigh a ton on its own)your mind was more open to the idea that things could happen there and so youre more likely to see something be it ghost or not.to see something move in the dark is interesting but its a far cry from saying a place is haunted"
ok,while everything the 2nd guy said was fact(aside from claiming that i made tons of claims within that house when a)only one other weird thing had ever happened there and B)i never suggested it was a ghost)it did not apply to what it was meant to respond at ALL.
1.neither of us were under the idea that a ghost was in this house.period.suggestibility is out the window on this one.
2.no one said the place was haunted.
3.bad lighting was not a factor.
4.the only person to experience this was alone skeptic,i had no influence.
5.the guys mind wasnt open at all to the idea that ghosts could even logically exist,he was dead set on the fact that my house,nor any other,is was or ever would be haunted.
my only problem is to a lot of skeptics,proof or alternative viewpoints on one instance is proof/alternative viewpoints on supernatural period. its like saying someone who was in a murder trial was guilty because the last guilty guy had the same tendencies.its unjust and lazy. while i have seen,and mind you written off many things in the dark,it doesnt mean i can apply the same facts to entirely different scenarios

Havelock police are investigating a fatal crash in which a car left the road and went into Slocum Creek.
Flowers, candles and messages of love now mark the spot of a crash that took the life of a young Havelock woman.
Janie Carol-lyn Queen, 20, died Thursday when the car she was driving left the road near the approach to an aging bridge and plunged into Slocum Creek.
The crash happened shortly before 3 p.m. at the Church Road Bridge, which is scheduled to be closed permanently on Monday.
Queen was pronounced dead at the scene after her body was recovered from the submerged car, according to a Friday release from the Havelock Police Department.
Now a make-shift memorial has been created at the corner of the bridge with several people leaving flowers. A large poster simply reads "We love you Janie."
Queen was a 2010 graduate of Havelock High School. She was a former cheerleader and softball player, and participated in the music program during high school.
There is an effort on to wear white ribbons in Queen's honor. Those planning to attend tonight's Havelock High home football game against West Carteret are being asked to wear white ribbons as well.
Friends went to social media sites to post messages of love for Queen and support for her family.
�I feel like there is no way this is real I can�t believe it. You were the nicest person and only the good die young! Until we meet again. I love you & rest in peace!� Brittany Elizabeth posted on Facebook.
�I know you�re in a better place and I�m praying hard for your family. You�ll be in everyone�s hearts including mine,� posted Emma K. McClellan.
�We lost a very special, beautiful, careful loving person today. � heaven gained a beautiful angel,� posted Rushanna Brumbkow Hughes.
"Thank you for all of the wonderful memories,� Brianna McMahon said in a post. �You truly were a beautiful person inside and out! Your wonderful smile, contagious laugh, and genuine love for life will be forever missed. Although your life was short you made a huge impact on everyone who had the privilege to meet you. I will always consider it a blessing to have held you as one of my closest friends. I�m sitting here tonight with a very heavy heart, but I�m finding some happiness knowing that you are in a better place. God has received a beautiful and wonderful angel. I will miss you so much Janie. Rest in peace beautiful girl."
Two witnesses, a nearby power crewman and the first police officer to arrive on the scene went into the water in an attempt to get to Queen shortly after the crash. However, the car was in about 20 to 25 feet of water, and they were unable to reach her.
Colin Smith, the executive officer at the U.S. Coast Guard Station at Emerald Isle, Brandon Miller, who had just returned from deployment as part of Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 2 at Cherry Point, and Havelock Police Lt. Brian Woods all went into the water in an attempt to save the driver after an unidentified MasTec lineman had attempted a rescue.
Smith said he was on his way home from Virginia when he saw a man run across the street and others nearby.
�I saw the headlights of the car and I ran as fast as I could to get down there.� Smith said.
He said it took only a few seconds to get to the banks of the creek but the car had already submerged.
Miller was on his way to the Navy Federal Credit Union when he stopped to help and jumped into the water.
�These guys were running around and I stopped and went down there,� he said. �They said there was a lady in the water and I jumped in. I could feel the heat from the exhaust but I couldn�t get to it. Everybody was looking around and had a worried look on their face.�
Both Smith and Miller said they had had rescue swimmer training but neither man was able reach the vehicle.
�I�ve got my WSQ (water survival qualification) but I couldn�t do that,� Miller said.
Both men said the dark water made seeing under the surface impossible and that the cold water temperature made holding their breath for a long period difficult.
�When we dove underneath you could hear the engine running,� said Smith, who had at one point a hammer to attempt to smash the windows of the sunken car and also used a rope in an attempt to reach the vehicle.
A dive team from Atlantic Beach Fire Department was called to the scene and recovered Queen's body about 15 minutes later.
Queen was heading east on the service road in front of the Hampton Inn. As the road curves to enter the Church Road Bridge, the vehicle kept going straight, went down the embankment next to the bridge and into the water. There were no noticeable skid marks on the service road near where the car left the road.
The Havelock Police Department is investigating and has not determined a cause of the crash.
Both lanes of the road and bridge were open at the time of the crash, despite the work of power crews working nearby to reroute lines in anticipation of demolition of the old bridge and construction of a new one.
Construction crews have been in the area of the crash for weeks as work to demolish the 88-year-old Church Road Bridge progresses. Power poles had to be relocated and lines rerouted in anticipation of the construction of the new bridge, which will parallel U.S. 70 and connect the services roads in front of the Hampton Inn on the west side of the creek and in front of the Subway on the east side of the creek.
Though crews were in the area at the time of the crash, they were not specifically working close to the crash site. A Division of Highways lighted sign warns drivers of the impending bridge closure by the service road in front of the Hampton Inn. There were also orange cones nearby off to the side of the road.

I would warn the buyer though that the fabric is light weight and the sleeves are a mesh material so if you want this jacket to stay warm, it's not going to do that very well on a cold day. I work in a gym where the air conditioner blasts so I was hoping it would be a bit warmer. Love it though and still glad I purchased it.

A: Yes, you can send us your album. In fact we will never say no to getting mail from creative people because it's awesome! However before you send us your work let's be upfront. Righteous Babe does not have an A&R department. When you send us an album it goes into a box and people around the label listen to it at their leisure. If you send us your music and we love it -we will get in touch with you. Please do not follow up on what we think of what you sent- we are a small label and we have a lot of things to do so although we would love to give feedback we are just too busy.

A: Ani has worked very hard to keep her creative freedom which is why we never ask her to do anything at her shows. When you see Ani perform she is playing the songs she personally chose and talking about what she feels like talking about. So although we would like to hear Ani cover "Little Red Corvette" as much as the next person we will never ask her to do it, however we do hope you will still enjoy the show!

To figure out shipping you can either call 1-800-onherown (1-800-664-3769) Monday-Friday 10am-5pm eastern and ask for the shipping cost or you can put your order into the website and it will give you the shipping cost before asking for you to put in all your payment info.
Please allow ample time for your mail order to be delivered to our office and processed.
Q: How are your orders processed?
Most orders are processed and shipped within 48 business hours. Sometimes we will run into an issue where we have to go to a different warehouse to get items or our store babe will need a day off but all orders are sent out within 4 business days. We offer same day shipping for Overnight/Next Day orders placed by 1PM Monday - Friday. You must call 1-800-onherown (1- 800 -664-3769) to request Overnight / Next Day delivery, additional shipping prices will apply.
Overnight/Next-Day shipping is unavailable for International Orders. International orders are responsible for all duties and taxes incurred upon delivery.
Please keep in mind that Righteous Babe Records is a small company doing its own shipping, we are not Amazon. We only ship things out Monday-Friday from 10-5pm Eastern. If you order something on Friday and you need it by Monday or Tuesday you should probably call first and arrange special shipping.
Q: What type of payments do you accept?
A credit card is necessary to place orders over the Internet and by phone. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. Mail orders can be paid by check, money order, or credit card. International mail orders must use an International Money Order made out in US funds (or use a credit card). Please do not send cash.
Q: How are international orders sent?
Most orders are shipped via USPS Air Mail. Due to international customs, your package may be delayed. With heightened security on packages crossing borders, delays exceeding one month are not uncommon. Please allow ample delivery time for orders being shipped overseas. Please note that the customer is responsible for all duties and taxes incurred upon delivery. We will not reship international orders until 6 weeks after the original order date. We are not trying to be mean but often times we will reship an order only to find out the next week that it finally reached its destination- customs is slow and shipping is expensive so we like to play it safe.
Q: What are your shipping rates?
Shipping charges are based on the weight of each product and its destination
Q: Why don't you sell plus sizes?
We sell up to size 3XL- if there is another size you need or have questions please email us at store(at) righteousbabe.com
Q: You claim to be a feminist record label but then you order your t-shirts from American Apparel which is run by a CEO accused multiple times of sexual harassment, what gives?
We are also upset about the claims of sexual harassment at American Apparel. We also are not fans of their awful ads featuring half naked women sprawled across horses or playing tennis -it's unnecessary and disturbing. In fact we let our sales rep know that when we cut back our orders it was due to these issues. That being said the whole apparel industry is pretty awful and it is very hard to find companies that make clothes using fair labor practices, fair environmental practices, and are able to provide product at a reasonable price and stay in business. So besides leaving the music business and starting a large apparel company our options are pretty slim. We are always looking for companies with squeaky clean records unfortunately it is not as easy as it looks with most apparel being made abroad. If you have suggestions of great companies please send them our way- store(at) righteousbabe.com
So in summary and for full disclosure below are companies we use:
American Apparel- Made in the USA meaning they follow US labor and environmental laws, CEO has been accused of sexual harassment, ads are awful, and sizing is tiny.
Alternative Apparel – Not made in the USA but they do claim to be sweatshop free and use fair environmental practices, production moves often so you have to call before ordering apparel to see where styles are currently being manufactured. Prices are also double of most other t-shirt companies so switching exclusively to this company and sticking with our more costly soy based ink and printing would result in much higher prices.
Canvas and Bella- Not made in the USA but they do claim to be sweatshop free and use fair environmental practices, however, it is harder to find information on them.
Anvil Organic- Not made in the USA but they do claim to be sweatshop free and have awesome environmental practices, sizing is more generous. Anvil has been accused of poor labor issues in the past but after reading several reports and contacting the company it appears that all of these issues have been cleared up during the last 5 years.
When shopping you can find out which company the shirt is from by clicking on the link to the size chart.
We hope this clears things up. If you stumble across any helpful articles or companies please email us at store (at) righteousbabe.com

For reprints of papers and materials to help you with your Optics Suitcase, click Library at the right.
Since 1999, the Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) has teamed with the Rochester Section of the Optical Society of America (OSA) to develop and administer the Optics Suitcase program. The principal goal of this program is to provide a demo lesson for college students, scientists and engineers to take into middle school classrooms. It is expected that, by enthusiastically discussing their careers, these visitors can motivate students to take math and science courses in high school, thereby "keeping the door open" for further training to enter technology fields after secondary school. (see Fig. 1)
Fundamental to our approach is the Optics Suitcase, a black plastic box that contains instructions and sufficient give-away materials to conduct a 40- minute in-class presentation that may be repeated two more times. Each Optics Suitcase provides a 14-page "Educational Outreach Presentation Guide" that describes how to arrange for and give a middle school technology lesson. Reusable items in the Suitcase include a portable heat therapy pad, "Happy/Unhappy" balls, a silicon wafer, a silica lens, a slinky, two high quality linear sheet polarizers, plastic cups, a sheet of temperature sensitive liquid crystal film (see Fig. 2), and a set of six presentation transparencies. Giveaway supplies include 75 copies of the periodic table of the elements and 225 "theme packets" that explore color in white light through three handson experiments: The Rainbow Peephole® - color by diffraction (75 ea.), Magic Stripes – color by polarization (75 ea.), and the Magic Patch – color by selective reflection (75 ea., see Fig. 3).
We provide the Optics Suitcase without charge to any organization (e.g., university, public or private school) or company willing to perform outreach. All we require is a letter on institution stationery identifying the responsible person and a plan for use. Replacement "theme packets" are supplied when requested, provided we receive electronic feedback with comments and photos describing completed events. The assembly of Suitcases is done by staff, graduate students and undergraduate technicians working at LLE. Materials are purchased with outreach activity grants obtained from the Rochester Section of OSA, the National OSA, the OSA Foundation, and SPIE. Assembly of "theme packets" is done for us by the physically disadvantaged employees of the Progressive Workshop in Kittanning, PA. The per packet fees charged by the Progressive Workshop are paid for by the Electro-Optics Center in Kittanning, part of Penn State University.
We have manufactured 195 Suitcases as of July 2009. Recipient institutions are located in 22 countries (Australia, Columbia, Canada, Ecuador, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Malawi, Peru, Romania, Rwanda, S Africa, Spain, Taiwan, Tasmania and Turkey) and 28 states including Hawaii. Many undergraduate students, graduate students, engineers and scientists in the Rochester area and within LLE have done presentations. One of the more difficult but extremely rewarding presentations was described by former U of R graduate student Alexis Spilman (Optics Ph.D. '08 - currently a research engineer with Bausch & Lomb) who visited 600 students at Gowa Community Day Secondary School, in Malawi, Africa (see Fig. 4): "I began each presentation by asking the class if they thought women could be engineers. Many students replied with an emphatic "no." Their response was discouraging but not surprising. In Malawi, as in many African nations, very few girls continue school past eighth grade. An even smaller number go on to college, and, of those who do, a miniscule number study science….The Optics Suitcase was an overwhelming success. Many students were so amazed and intrigued by the demonstrations that they sought me out after school to learn more. We pulled out a woven mat, sat on the ground and performed demonstrations together for the rest of the afternoon and into the night, by candlelight…."
Four years ago, U of R undergraduate students Katie Spencer (Optics '05), Rupal Varshneya (Optics '05) and Anne Marino (Mathematics '05) expanded the Magic Patch "theme packet" into a middle school lesson entitled "Liquid Crystals and Mood Patches". Several workshops have been given to show teachers how to do the lesson, and its first use occurred with 100 students in five sixth grade science classes of James Carpenter, at Arcadia Middle School in Greece, NY (see Fig. 5).
With financial and material support from OSA, OSAF, SPIE, APS and Tessera Technologies, Inc., we have developed a supplement to the Optics Suitcase presentation called "Experiments with a Laser Pointer and The Optics Suitcase". Consisting of 12 laser pointers and other supplies, the supplement gives six additional experiments that may be carried out with middle school students in conjunction with items from the Suitcase. As part of LaserFEST, celebrating 50 years of Laser Innovation (www.laserfest.org), we are offering the supplement during 2010. An electronic copy of the Supplement may be obtained by accessing our reprints on this page.

I have not ridden the board but I'll be Captain Obvious here.
Unless you are a really big guy you will not notice the difference in volume. The flotation of both boards will feel exactly the same to a 165 lb. sailor like me. The biggest difference you would notice is in a planing jibe. The extra 10 width will require a much bigger step. The 180 will be far more nimble than the 205, but I'm not sure nimble is the correct term for a 180 liter board

The JP Funster is included in this excellent article on "improver" boards. JP now makes the Explorer--which is pretty much a copy of the Fanatic Viper--as well. My only personal experience with short-wide-heavy boards was a brief ride on an RRD Evolution M (251x78). I found no redeeming qualities; sailed like a barge.

Great article indeed.
They don't cover longboards but they can be an option too. The Kona One and other similar boards glide decently and can plane very well too. I'm quite happy I got one and don't plan to part with it soon.

Given a choice of the Funster 180 vs 205...Id say go for the 180. Ive been using this board for the past 2 years and have had a bast on it..I Find it planes and turns much more faster than the 205.
This board is also has a huge range as I have used it in 1knot to 25knot winds and its extremely sturdy without feeling like a barge.
However, instead of these boards..I would definately recommend a longboard instead as they can be a lot of fun in lighter winds...Look at the kona, rrd longrider or even the old longboards.

I taught on both boards this summer so I'm somewhat familiar with them.
First off, I LOVE the Funster for teaching. Very responsive to weigh shifts and for most people with "good balance" it is plenty of board to learn on. It is my favorite board to teach and play on.
I used the 205 a lot for beginner teaching. It did everything I needed it to do, and did it very well. Part of our training was to get students on smaller and smaller boards in the more advanced beginner lessons to get them ready for beach starts and water starts. So I did spend some time on the 180. It did seem very forgiving. If you get down to the 160 and 145 that changes. I don't recommend them for beginners unless it is going to be some kind of a transition board.
So the question is if you are going to try to plane on this board or just use it as a beginner board. If you are not planning on planning on it (funny how it looks like the same word
), then I would stick with the 205. If you do however hope to plane on it in the future, then the 180 would be a better selection ASSUMING your weight is appropriate ( I weight 180).
But either way I recommend attaching a bungie type cord to the centerboard and the main board. If you flip the Funster upside down there is the potential for the centerboard to fall through the board and it sinks....

Len, I have taken the liberty of quoting from your earlier post to avoid confusion for others. I am about your weight, 140# (or 13 years old on the beaglebuddy scale.) While your current board is pretty narrow for your intended uses, that is no reason to get a swim raft. About 75 cm wide is imho about as much as you could possibly need even in the lightest wind. The article I referenced gives a good idea of what is and has been available for the last 15 or so years to help get you to that short board experience, but as others have noted it's too old to take into account the latest long boards which are wider and more user friendly than the old ones. If it is in the budget, I would suggest a Kona One or, perhaps even better, a windsup. When you take the family to the beach there will always be something to do, and it is something you can enjoy for years to come. I have one on
Christmas list, though it won't be this year as Santa is a little short. (Ha ha, sometimes I just crack myself up.) Another route would be used freeride boards in the 75cm range, probably around 150 liters or so. Use the web to familiarize yourself with them and you'll be ready to hit the shops and swaps in the spring.

This lovely French needlecase is carved of mother of pearl and is very high quality. It measures almost 3 3/8" long and has an embossed gilded band at the opening. It has a very unusual enameled gold seal set into the front in lieu of the usually seen pansy. It depicts a flower filled urn and is especially detailed.
It has is a fine crack on one side of the sleeve that fits under the top. The condition is otherwise perfect with no chips or other damage and the mother of pearl is very luminous. The top fits on well. The postage shown includes Registered shipping for non US addresses and insured shipping within the US.
The Palais Royal was an arcade of shops within a wing of a former royal palace in Paris. The shops opened in the late 1780s and housed the finest French artisans selling only the highest quality goods. Items of mother of pearl and precious metals were specialties there.

Ray reports, "Writes Gwennap, 'At the iPhone 5 announcement, Apple did not disclose what CPU it used in its new A6 application processor. Recent information, however, indicates that it designed its own CPU rather than licensing a Cortex-A9 or next-generation Cortex-A15 from ARM. Rumors about Apple working on a CPU design have swirled for the past several years, but the company had never publicly confirmed them. Initial analysis of shipping iPhone 5 units, however, confirms that the A6 uses a unique ARM-compatible CPU design that has never been seen before.'"

Just because growers currently have a fairly well stocked arsenal of miticides doesn't mean they should throw caution to the wind. That's the way Larry Godfrey, University of California, Davis Cooperative Extension entomologist summed it up for growers and Pest Control Advisers (PCA)s at a recent Bayer CropScience-sponsored cotton conference. Godfrey knows how quickly resistance can develop in mite populations and what incredible problems it can create.
It wasn't too long ago that San Joaquin Valley cotton growers knew first-hand what those problems could entail. Kelthane, Comite and even Zephyr have all had resistance issues in some areas at some point. Those problems, while sometimes sporadic and not always permanent, often created a tremendous headache in the absence of effective alternative materials to control mites. Fortunately, that's no longer the case. Growers now have a relatively wide range of choices to battle mites. Even so, they should guard the treasure trove with caution, according to Godfrey.
"Mites can build resistance very quickly," he says. "There are three species of spider mites that are important in San Joaquin Valley cotton – two-spotted, Pacific and strawberry. Of those, the two-spotted spider mite does the most damage."
Mites are particularly troublesome due to several factors, according to Godfrey. They are found on multiple crops. They're capable of overwintering as adults in multiple crops, weeds and even in the soil.
"Because they can overwinter in the soil, you'll often find the same problem in the same place year after year," he says. "However, they are also very mobile which can make the problem even worse. They can rapidly damage a crop."
During the heat of the season, spider mites can quickly cycle through a generation – sometimes in as little as one week. That propensity to reproduce and do it so quickly only fuels the possibility of resistance.
Resistance documented
"There are over 300 cases of documented resistance in two-spotted spider mite," Godfrey says. "During the time we relied heavily on Zephyr, we were fortunate to get through it without running into problems. Now, we're fortunate to have a lot of new materials with different modes of action."
Rotating between those materials is critical to preserve the efficacy of the entire arsenal. Now that Zephyr is off patent and its price has dropped, there is concern that overuse of the material could lead to resistance problems.
"That situation always seems to result in increased use," says Tim Krueger with Bayer CropScience. "It's not always about price. You have to think about the bigger picture. If we don't steward these products, we're shooting ourselves in the foot."
Oberon from Bayer is one of the newer entries to the market. In trials conducted at UCCE's West Side Field Station at Five Points, Calif., by Godfrey since 2001, it has proven to be a consistent performer. In 2006, Godfrey evaluated numerous treatments including Fugimite, Zephyr, Zeal, Denim, Oberon, Onager, Comite, Kelthane, Acramite and Ecotrol.
"At three weeks after treatment, Oberon is as good as, if not better, than everything else," he says. "Like some of the other newly registered materials, it works faster than Zephyr which doesn't have any knockdown. Oberon at the higher rate of 16 ounces provided better knockdown than Oberon at the lower rates."
Ecotrol, the organic compound in the trial, was the only material that did not perform close to par with the other miticides in the cotton trial. However, Godfrey noted that Ecotrol has measured up fairly well in other trials in other crops such as almonds that UCCE Kern County Farm Advisor David Haviland has conducted.
From a cultural standpoint, outbreaks of spider mites are more likely to occur on water stressed plants, in dusty conditions or improperly irrigated fields. Utilizing good IPM practices, monitoring for pest and treating at threshold levels are always recommended to help stave off resistance issues.

Life in Christian County, Kentucky... The Rural Life...
We took one of the push mowers to be repaired the other day, and this morning I stopped to see if it was ready. These photos were taken at opposite ends of the road where the mower repairman and his family live.
The George Shaw Road travels through the countryside from a ridge on Pilot Rock Road (above) to a creek crossing on Butler Road (below). By Christian County standards, it's a sparsely populated area. Only three sets of farm buildings are found along the several miles of road. All are owned by Mennonite families. Two of them run dairy farms and the third has the lawn mower repair shop.
I do notice when I drive down that road that I seem to be far out in the country. Large open fields stretch into the distance on one side of the road and on the other side, milkcows graze in their pastures. The road winds a little so it can pass close to each farmhouse.
A few big oaks grow along the roadside, and the farm buildings are shaded by trees, but the road does not pass by any patches of woods. Isaac commented the other day that it almost feels like the prairie. I think it has that feeling because it is unusually free of trees and houses.
Most country roads here are paved, but this road is still just graveled. That's a good reason to drive slowly and roll down the windows to hear the bird songs and smell the fresh air.
Years ago, the Ozark Mountain Daredevils recorded a great song called, "Backroads". Dennis says that it's my theme song -- "I take the backroads wherever I go..." Well, I'll accept the song as one of the themes of my life. I don't advocate or enjoy driving around drinking beer and whiskey (as mentioned in the song), but I do enjoy driving the country roads whenever possible.
