I've been in a funk. I want this blog to be positive and uplifting but let's face it-some days I'm not. I have a hundred ideas floating around in my head and I have no idea where to begin. So I made myself sit down to write in hopes that some clarity will come to me!
Funk reason #1:
I was playing around with my banner one day and completely deleted the one that Cindy made for me so I needed something fast. I quickly created one in Picasa and, even though I really didn't like it, I had to have something.
{too plain!}
It didn't really inspire me to write any new posts. Hence the quietness on the blog.
I like my new one better. It's more me and I was ready for a change anyway.
Funk reason #2:
I've been slightly injured. My legs, feet, and knees were aching so much. Not fun when you are trying to finish up Insanity. I attribute it to bad form during lunges and trying too hard to keep up with the superheroes on the screen. Thank goodness last week was my recovery week. I took full advantage and allowed myself to do lower impact workouts and walks. I stretched a lot with bands and the roller and now I'm feeling tons better. I'm on to the Max workouts in Insanity and I'm paying special attention to my form and modifying when I need to. Seriously important so I don't take myself out of commission in these next few weeks.
Funk reason #3:
(I'm going to sound very pathetic over this one)
Our favorite show, Chuck, is over! Needless to say, there were tons of tears shed on my end. We really loved that show. It was the only show for four years that we really loved watching together. And it didn't end perfect. I wanted it all neatly wrapped up and tied with a bow. Even though I didn't get that, I appreciated the ending. It just has really messed with me. It's like a book that gets under your skin and then you think about it for days. I think I'll be ok though. I'm anxiously awaiting So You Think You Can Dance to start up again. That will help.
Funk reason #4:
Comparison. I have let it creep into all areas of my life. It's stealing my joy and I want it back. Putting my focus back to Jesus is the only way I know how to combat this. (and limit my time looking at other blogs!)
Galatians 6:4
The Message (MSG)
4-5Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don't be impressed with yourself. Don't compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life.
Thanks. I'm glad I got all that written out. I've made a to do list and am ready to tackle it. Number one on my list was to write a blog post. Done.

Lonely in a crowd
I haven't been doing a lot of reading lately. No time. Too much running, first for a house, then for furniture--the water, the cable, the internet, garbage, sewage, power, gas. How big I want my trash cans, how soon I want my power? Are there cups? (er...no, there weren't cups. I forgot. Blankets either, and it's going to snow this weekend.) I did find a desk, thank God.
I have a desk with a dinette chair (desk doesn't automatically mean chair). A lamp Cowboy talked me into taking. WALLS AND WALLS of books, magazines and data cds. A file sorter, and a pen.
I'm very proud of the pen. It's pink, with the RWA logo. I think it came in the goodie bag with the luggage tag. People always look at me funny when they see the luggage tag, but it makes my bag easy to spot.
I'm with people, family mostly--and how odd is it that now I'm worried family might read my blog? Lots of people use their blog to communicate, sort of like a mass e-mail without the copy-copy, but I've never been one of them. I flew beneath the radar, trusting in the fact that I have one hell of an honest family.
No one likes my writing, lol.
...but despite people and family. It's lonely. There's no one to talk to, and no one who understands, or is just willing to sit and listen to me vent without changing the subject, or giving me these looks like something is wrong. I guess Connor is going to have one hell of a lot of angst.

*hugs* I know what you mean. There are very few people that I feel that are from "our tribe" where we are. It was nice geeking out on music last night at dinner even though two of the guys felt a bit left out of the conversation.
Lord knows I don't have a local writing geek circle beyond the DH and I know he humors me lots. :)
Definitely make use of your online contacts. I wouldn't have survived the early years with my kids without outside contact and adult conversation even if it wasn't face to face but mostly in text.

Me! Me!!! Call me!!! I know what you mean. You're closer now. You'd better be careful or me and Gwen and Feisty and Jenna and any other West Coast Divas I can scrape up will come and find you.
I can't WAIT for July. Wait! I think I've said that before.
*tamps down enthusiasm*
Um, I look forward to seeing you in July. *says sedately*

#1: You can choose to go private with the blog and only allow the in crowd access.
(sorry. sorry. joking.)
#2: Can you photograph that pen on the outside of your luggage? I gotta see what's drawing a second glance...
#3: Don't forget that there are a number of people (some whom you've never met) who are still thinking of you. When you feel most alone, I hope you think of this...I know I'm not the only one who's thought of you this past week.
#4: If you say no one likes your writing again, I'm going to write an embarrassing blog post about you.

you guys are all wonderful--I always show up at your restaurant, Alice, even if I don't comment. (after twenty or thirty comments, it's a long way to scroll :)
Yeah Kaige--writers are a strange bunch. We're so much better on-line, or at least I think so. I call you all friends, and my kids are always correcting me. I used to give them the virtual friends lecture all the time. I wonder how it got to be so different when I grew up:)
Jen--have no fear, from your picture, I will find you. And make no mistake, you can hear the Daniel day Lewis echoes. You'll probably go, damn--she's really anal and serious. AND she's got four business suits, one for each day. AND a girdle. I'm gaining a little weight sitting around moping, lol...
Y'know, Unhingey--I seriously thought about comment moderation or just allowing certain people, but--hey, can't stop people from reading, even family. You're a friend, thanks...

In indent or
"normal" style, the first line of each
paragraph is indented. The typical indent is
.5", but it can be modified to a different size
to make space. Typically, there is not a blank line
between paragraphs, but some writers do include a
line. Purists say that it is wrong to leave a blank
line between paragraphs if you are going to indent
them. Take a careful look at formatting examples to
make your own decision.
The hanging indent style
is not as widely used, but it occasionally appears.
While the procedure will
differ for each word processing program, the basics
are all the same. For the purpose of this blog post,
I am going to show you how to format text using
In order to have the fullest range of editing options, begin by going to Preferences, located in the TextEdit menu:
Make sure that Rich text
and Wrap to page are selected. This would also be a
good time to choose your font and text size. Now
begin your document, because these changes only apply
to your next document.
If you do your writing and then do your formatting, your text might look like this:
Notice that the only time
I used the Return key was when I wanted to begin a
new paragraph. Also notice that I did not add an
extra line between paragraphs. To add the formatting,
select all of your text. Then go to the document
toolbar and choose Spacing. Pull down to Other…
In the dialog box that
appears you can make several choices. The one that I
prefer to use is Paragraph spacing - after. Click on
the up arrow to increase the number of points. What
number you choose is really up to you and the amount
of space that is pleasing to your eye--or the space
that you need to fill.
In general, I prefer a number between 12 and 16, but I usually scroll to the end of my document and check to see where the last line falls. If I have only one or two lines on the last page, I will choose to either decrease the size of the text or I will choose a different font that is slightly narrower. If there is more text on the last page, I will try to make it fill at least half of the page by increasing paragraph spacing or increasing the text size or choosing a font that is larger.
If you prefer to use an indent at the beginning of a paragraph, you should select all of the text, and then use the icons on the ruler. The triangles pointing to the right are used to set tabs. Since they can get in the way, begin by dragging several of the triangles up on the ruler to make them disappear.
The first icon on the ruler is actually two separate icons. Drag the T-shaped icon to the right, away from the down-pointing triangle. You will see that the first word of each paragraph moves to the right, indenting it.
If you would like to use a hanging indent, move the down-pointing arrow to the right.
Choosing the amount to indent, once again, should be determined by the space needed to make your document visually pleasing.
While it is often easier to continue doing things the way you have always done them, using this method of paragraph formatting gives you the most flexibility. It also can prove to be much faster.
If you have never learned how to really use a word processing application, perhaps a one-on-one tutorial would be of value to you. At Bob LeVitus Consulting, we can not only help you fix a computer problem, we can also provide remote tutoring. Using our special software, we can not only "see" your computer, we can also control your keyboard and mouse.

The Taekwondo team want to win back the trophy they tragically lost in 2013. Over the past 32 Australian University Games, the team have 27 titles!
Although there are 38 members of the taekwondo team going to AUG this year, who compete individually, everyone will be present and cheer at every Monash fight.
Interesting Habit
Every year, they have a toga night to celebrate the winners on the final night of competition. Everyone dresses up in the same colour and hit the clubs.
The team in one word: UNIFIED

|Just knew it
Apr 27, 2005
I am 38 years old and a Thai. Last month I just had my first lab test. The result of the lab was CD4 299 with 22% VL 6320. I just wonder why my CD4 was quite low comparing with my CD4 % and my Vl. In this case, do I need to take the therapy when the CD4 is less than 200 and when do i expected to take it. Thanks. NooNeung
Response from Dr. Young
Thanks for your post and I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. You do have a relatively low CD4 count, but I don't think that there is any emergency to get you on treatment at this time (assuming that you're otherwise feeling well). Usually a second set of labs in a few months will help sort out any trends and needs to initiate treatment.
In Thailand, there are quite a number of available medications to treat HIV. I'd be sure to discuss these options with your doctor and your local AIDS service organizations.
Good luck, let us know how things turn out. BY
Confused and Scared
treatment now or can it wait 6 months?

|"National Velvet with Elizabeth Taylor and Mickey Rooney"
|"Trigger, the smartest horse in the movies."
"The Searchers. I also thought about The Horse Soldiers. When I was a child there was a TV show that I loved about a horse. I think it was called Fury." (Translated from Spanish)

(Translated from Spanish) "Devotion, there's a scene in which Ida Lupino (Emily Brönte) dreams about a rider that takes her away, I think that at then end she dies and you can see the rider taking her away..." Source
The first HORSE that comes to my mind is always Gui-Pago, Audrey's Arabian stallion in The Unforgiven. Sadly:
"Production was suspended for several months in 1959 after Ms. Hepburn broke her back when she fell off a horse while rehearsing a scene. Although she eventually recovered, the accident was blamed for a subsequent miscarriage Hepburn suffered. According to several published biographies of Hepburn, she blamed herself for the accident and subsequently all but disowned the film, although she did complete it when she was well enough to return to work."

Mayfield Falls
Take a trip to the Mayfield Falls and Nature Park, just a 45 minute drive away. The untouched scenery up in the hilly countryside acts as a peaceful break from the bustling coastline. Follow an experienced guide through the tropical forest to see flourishing green flora, exotic flowers and plant species. See if you can spot the colourful birds, butterflies and island wildlife before heading to the mesmerising falls.
The locals call it 'Falls Walking' as you can easily stroll along the river, climb straight up the staircase-like rocks and through the cascading waterfalls. Explore further to find a variety of small and large natural spring pools where you can swim, soak or float along the bubbling brooks.

Not an actual apr_table_t instance as such. To share data between processes you would need to use shared memory or something equivalent. Placing more complicated data structures in shared memory can though be more tricky though than simple data variables. Apache itself uses what it calls the scoreboard for communicating information between processes, in effect a wrapper around a shared memory mechanism. FWIW, you might want to read through: http://www.fmc-modeling.org/projects/apache/html/Apache_Modeling_Project.html It explains more about how modules are loaded into Apache, how child processes are created and managed, how Apache uses the scoreboard mechanism etc. It is quite technical and in depth though so may be more than what you want to know.

The main goal of pomodoro method or pomodoro technique is to focus and work on one single task for 25 minutes and avoid any possible interruptions.
Narrowed focus and zero interruptions helps to achieve maximum productivity in short period of time.
This method or technique was called "Pomodoro technique" after tomato-shaped kitchen timer (from Italian "Pomodoro" /tomato/).
There are two periods of times those are changing one after another - working and breaks.
Working period of time lasts 25 minutes, short break lasts 5 minutes, long breaks should be taken after completing 4-work periods.
Here is flowchart of pomodoro method (click on image to see bigger picture)
Pomodoro method is very helpful when you want to avoid distractions stay productive and especially for tasks those required maximum concentration.
Before staring you will need timer and two papers - Task List and Activity Inventory.
First important step is to create Task List.
Usually my first task is planning when I see what I'm going to do during a day, If you are practicing GTD in could be next actions on the project.
Second page Activity Inventory. is used to note urgent things that pop-up during working period.
For example:
when you are working on some task from task list and you have idea about writing email , put "Write email to ... about ..." into Activity Inventory list.
So you will not interrupt your work on the task from task list.
Later when you will have short or long break (depending how many work sessions you have completed) you can work
on urgent things you have in Activity Inventory.
This is basically all about using pomoro method or pomodoro technique.
Please refer to flow chart to handle specific situation.

Cromarty Film Society news
So our Music Season draws to a close with a screening of Mike Leigh's Topsy Turvy – a gem of a film that follows the legendary composer Arthur Sullivan and librettist Gilbert and their company as they create and stage The Mikado. This is a lovely light hearted film with beautiful music, so come join us at the Stables on the 23rd March and help us end the season with style and learn what is on the books for our next Season: Love and Heartbreak…..
As the film is slightly longer we will start the screening at 7:30 pm.
Tickets £5, free for members.
CRFS 2013-14 Membership
Always wanted to be part of the cool group? Run with the wild ones? Party with the 24 hour people? Then membership in the Cromarty and Resolis Film Society is for you! Seriously.
The CRFS is an entirely volunteer run Society which exists to celebrate and share film on the Black Isle and we put on 10 regular screenings a year along with the annual Festival in December. We try to programme a mix of films including classics, foreign, recent favourites and cults. We love film and would love to share even more, the challenge as always is money. Every screening we put on costs approximately £150 and we want as many people to be able to enjoy film as possible so are committed to keeping our ticket prices low. That's why membership is so critical to us as that way we have a commitment and know we won't go bankrupt half way through the season.
A year's membership costs just £50 for individuals and £70 for a family and can be paid annual or monthly.
In addition to free attendance at our regular screenings, Members will have priority access to Festival tickets. To reward our loyal members we will be giving you the chance to buy tickets to all events on a first come first serve basis before the box office opens to the general public.
We recognise that we have keen film supporters who don't live close enough to take advantage of our regular screenings and therefore are also offering a 'Friend of the Fest' membership which will also give priority access to Fest tickets on the basis outlined above.
So dig deep and support the celebration of film!
See our website http://www.cromartyandresolisfilmsociety.org/ for a membership form.

Poverty versus social exclusion
Prior to the 1997 Labour Government, the term 'social exclusion' was rarely, if ever, used when discussing social policy in the UK. Rather, the word 'poverty' was generally used as an all-encompassing term to describe situations where people lack many of the opportunities that are available to the average citizen. Whilst low income was central to this notion, it also covered other factors relating to severe and chronic disadvantage.
However, some people used the word 'poverty' in the narrower sense of simply low income. It was to ensure that the wider notion - that disadvantage can cover a wider range of factors than 'just' low income - was not lost, that the Government started using the term 'social exclusion'.
In other words: the wider notion of 'poverty' = the narrower notion + 'social exclusion'.
One of the advantages of the term 'social exclusion' is that it is reasonably self-explanatory, clearly relating to the alienation or disenfranchisement of certain people within society. Its use therefore helpfully highlights the importance of such alienation and the need to understand the full complexities of its causes and effects.
However, one of the consequences of introducing the term 'social exclusion' was that it led some people to assume that low income and alienation were essentially unconnected and that each could (and should) be considered separately when developing policy. This, in turn, led to the tendency in some circles to downgrade the importance of addressing issues of low income, on the grounds that its effect was simply to limit the material goods that a household could acquire rather than having any wider social impact.
In reaction to all this, this website generally uses the term 'poverty and social exclusion' throughout, without differentiating between them. This usage has several advantages, namely:
- It emphasises that the issue of concern is both low income and the other factors relating to severe and chronic disadvantage, and that these are closely connected.
- Its overall scope is the same whether the word 'poverty' is used in its wide or narrow sense.
Relative versus absolute poverty
For the sake of simplicity, the discussion below relates to income poverty only (i.e. the narrow sense of the word 'poverty' above). It would, however, equally apply to the wider notion.
Absolute poverty refers to a set standard which is the same in all countries and which does not change over time. An income-related example would be living on less than $X per day.
Relative poverty refers to a standard which is defined in terms of the society in which an individual lives and which therefore differs between countries and over time. An income-related example would be living on less than X% of average UK income.
Absolute poverty and relative poverty are both valid concepts. The concept of absolute poverty is that there are minimum standards below which no one anywhere in the world should ever fall. The concept of relative poverty is that, in a rich country such as the UK, there are higher minimum standards below which no one should fall, and that these standards should rise if and as the country becomes richer.
Absolute poverty
Clearly, where both absolute and relative poverty are prevalent, it is absolute poverty which is (by far) the more serious issue. This is the case in much of the third world, where the focus is therefore on fixed income thresholds (typically $1 or $2 a day, on the grounds that this is the minimum needed for mere survival). But in a UK setting, such thresholds have no import: no one in the UK lives on incomes anywhere near this low.
So, logically, either one concludes that there is no absolute poverty in the UK or that a much higher threshold of absolute poverty than $1 or $2 per day should be used.
The view that there is no absolute poverty in the UK is a perfectly valid position to take.
The view that there should be an absolute poverty threshold but that it should be much higher than $1 or $2 per day begs the question about how such a threshold should be defined and on what basis.
- In the UK, the main efforts to define such thresholds have been undertaken under the general heading of 'minimum income standards', which basically estimate the level of income required to purchase a given basket of goods and services. But the key point about such initiatives is that the basket of goods and services is defined according to the norms of the day and, as such, are inherently relative rather than absolute in nature. So, for example, there would be many items in the 'today's basket' that would not have been in the basket 50 years ago. In other words, 'minimum income standards' relate to relative poverty rather than to absolute poverty.
- In recent years, the Government has begun to describe households with less than half 1 the average 1997 household income (after adjusting for inflation) as being in 'absolute poverty'. This is, however, purely a political device - the only relevance of 1997 is that it is when the current Government came into power. 2 That is not to say that the statistic is unimportant, simply that it should not be described as 'absolute poverty'.
To summarise: there is no obvious way of defining an absolute poverty threshold except the $1 or $2 a day thresholds defined on the grounds that this is the minimum needed for mere survival. But in a UK setting, such thresholds have no import: no one in the UK lives on incomes anywhere near this low.
Relative poverty
The view that relative poverty is not important is a perfectly valid position to take - it is just not the view that the authors of this website, along with most other researchers, the EU, the UK government, and politicians of all hues across the political spectrum take. So, for example, the government's target of halving child poverty by 2010 is defined in terms of relative poverty.
The reason that we believe that relative poverty is important is because we believe that no one should live with "resources that are so seriously below those commanded by the average individual or family that they are, in effect, excluded from ordinary living patterns, customs and activities." 3 In other words, we believe that, in a rich country such as the UK, there should be certain minimum standards below which no one should fall. 4 And, as society becomes richer, so norms change and the levels of income and resources that are considered to be adequate rises. Unless the poorest can keep up with growth in average incomes, they will progressively become more excluded from the opportunities that the rest of society enjoys. If substantial numbers of people do fall below such minimum standards then, not only are they excluded from ordinary living patterns, but it demeans the rest of us and reduces overall social cohesion in our society. It is also needless.
If one accepts that relative poverty is important in principle, then the obvious issue arises of what thresholds to use and on what basis. This is discussed in detail on the page on choices of low-income threshold. Our basic answer is that it does not matter, so long as the thresholds are defined in relation to contemporary average (median) income and are for households rather than individuals. It is for this reason that the main indicators on this website use a variety of thresholds, so that a fuller picture of trends can be developed. But, for reasons of consistency and clarity, there has to be a 'headline' threshold and, for this, we use the same threshold as both the UK government and the EU, namely a household income of less than 60% of contemporary median household income.
Some people criticise the concept of relative poverty on the grounds that it is to do with 'inequality' rather than 'poverty'. At one level, this is simply an issue of semantics - because of the potential confusion between 'absolute poverty in the third world' and 'relative poverty in the UK', we are also not very comfortable with the phrase 'relative poverty' and this is why we use the more descriptive 'in low-income households' throughout this website.
But at another level, the criticism is simply confused: whilst 'inequality' is about differences in income across the whole of the income distribution, 'relative poverty' is about the number of people who have incomes a long way below those of people in the middle of the income distribution. These two things are very different. For example, whilst there will inevitably always be inequality, there is no logical or arithmetic reason why there should always be people in relative poverty.
To summarise: whether one believes that relative poverty is important or not is a matter of opinion, but all political parties in the UK believe that it is important and so do we. There are well-established ways of measuring the extent of relative poverty and it is these methods to which this website adheres.

Okay, What Is This?
Anyway, we are running across various things that look like they might be either collectible, valuable, or something. However, we can't always figure out just what we have. I thought I'd just call on the expertise I know is available from all of you, and ask about some things.
You may click on this link to see Larger Scale Images of all the photos here.
First is a three-cornered ceramic container. It could be a cachepot, jardiniere, vase, pot, or ??? The mark on the bottom is Weller Pottery. It has a different flower on each side. The flaws you see in the photo are just about invisible IRL (just like on our garment photos, right?) So, if you know anything about this, even just a little bit so we could do a better online search, I hope you'll leave a comment to let me know.
Next is a creamy ceramic bowl with a lid. It has an interesting texture, but I think it must be ceramic. The pine cone design is pretty, and there are no markings on it.
This vase is a gorgeous soft gray/green which I'm not sure comes across. It is marked Wien Keramos (Vienna Ceramics), Made in Austria on the bottom.
This Little Miss toy sewing machine is one thing I'm definitely keeping. I don't remember seeing it when I was growing up, and I'm not sure if it was just tucked away or if my Mom got it somewhere later. I have a pink toy sewing machine that I received for Xmas when I was pretty small, so maybe she kept hers put away. It looks very pristine.

The bowl with the pine cone on it reminds me of a powder bowl that my grandmother used to have. Inside it was half full of powder and topped with a powder puff? (not sure what you call them?)
- 10:52 PM, May 17, 2010
Liana, just a suggestion on the Weller piece. A quick search showed me there are a lot of books on Weller. You may have better luck checking the books rather than the Internet. If your local llbrary doesn't have them, ask the librarians to get them through interlibrary loan. There should be many Ohio libraries that have these books because the state was a hub of pottery making in the 1800 and early 1900's. Good luck. Beautiful pieces, and I love the tall vase.

Thanks everyone. Linda, the book idea may turn out to be the most helpful. It's just so hard to even research things when you don't know what to call them, and with ceramics especially, one needs the name of the shape. Believe me, I've tried everything I could think of. And of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg....
It's going well in general, though. Big garage/estate sale in a couple weeks I think.

With the fall high school sports season winding down to a close, conference championships and state tournaments are right around the corner.
High school cross country hosted the first of many championship events this week, as seven teams competed for the Kent County Championship on Tuesday at Brecknock Park.
The Caesar Rodney Riders claimed both the boys and girls titles, paced by top finishers Rebekah Mills and Sam Phillips.
Mills was able to hold off Smyrna's Tori Vickers to take the girls title with a time of 19:00.19. After Vickers, four Riders helped finish out the top ten; Christine Marks (3rd), Gina Campagnini (4th), Jeanette Bendolph (6th), and Katherine Bole (8).
On the boys side Smyrna earned the top two spots as David Hall led the way with a time of 15:57.45 followed by teammate Gabriel Mojica at 16:16.59. Caesar Rodney placed five runners in the top ten including, Phillips (2nd), Patrick Gallucci (4th), Brandon Brooks (5th), Presten DeMarreau (8th), and Bryce Stevenosky (9th).
On both sides, the Riders were able to keep pace with Smyrna who have used a pack mentality to help them win races this season, along with the talent they have leading the way. While Hall and Mojica were able to break loose from the field, the Riders did a great job of keeping pace, with three Rider boys finishing less than a minute behind first place.
Mills and Vickers jumped to the to the front nearly from the beginning of the race, keeping pace with one another the entire way. However, Mills picked her spot wisely toward the end of the race to break away from Vickers.
There were a lot of impressive times at Tuesday's event, and the runners will use the experience to prepare for a short turnaround. This Saturday, the next big cross country event, the DIAA state tournament, will be held at Killens Pond State Park.

OAKLAND — Spring will be in full bloom next weekend at Mountain View Cemetery as local florists show off their creative side during the Eighth Annual Tower Chapel Tulip Exhibition.
The Piedmont Avenue cemetery's Tower Chapel will be full of interesting arrangements and exhibits April 5-7 from garden club members and floral designers, some of whom will give demonstrations each day. There will be a total of 25 exhibits.
"Every year it gets better and better," said Doreen Herbruger, customer service manager at the cemetery and organizer of the exhibition.
There is no cost to enter the cemetery or tulip event. Founders designed the exhibition to be free in hopes that it would attract many visitors at a time when people are tempted to use online florists rather than local businesses. "That was the first reason we decided to put together the show," Herbruger said. "This way it gives an opportunity for local florists to show what they can do."
Artists often incorporate other kinds of flowers, branches, baskets and other props to bring the tulips alive. In 2010, an artist did a take on the animated Pixar film "Up," which incorporated a bounty of colorful balloons.
Kay Wolff, who teaches floral design at Merritt College, will demonstrate how to tie bouquets by hand on April 7. One of her students, an avid gardener, will use her own greenery and tulips to create a bouquet.
The hope is to get members of the audience in on the demonstration, Wolff said.
"It's a chance to interact with the public in a different format and give something back to the community that supports us," Wolff said. "Celebrating spring is a big part of it."
What: Eighth Annual Tower Chapel Tulip Exhibition
When: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 5-7, with demonstrations at 2 p.m.
Where: Tower Chapel, Mountain View Cemetery, 5000 Piedmont Ave., Oakland
Cost: Free

|Of all the creatures known in the multiverse, the Reebro is right up there with the strangest. Little more than an oversized brain to begin with, this Ethereal beast develops a mechanical body using its instinctual technological know-how. The Reebro, or simply 'Bro' as it is affectionately called by its fellow Monsters, is a laid-back character who lives for fun and has the scoop on all the latest trends. It's always willing to assist others with their technical difficulties - even if its go-to solution is to "turn it off and then turn it on again."
The Reebro joined in on June 28th, 2013. It has a gigantic lavender and aqua brain and a mechanical bug-like body. On its body are two long exhaust pipes, while on the bottom of its body is one smaller exhaust pipe. It has four legs with cylindrical feet, each with tiny yellow LED lights, which light up whenever it stomps.
When this monster is idle, it stays in tempo by bending and tilting in rhythm of the song and constantly emitting steam from its pipes.
SongAudio sample:
The Reebro Monster's contribution to the song is very similar to the T-Rox, but at a much faster pace and higher pitch. It uses its feet to pound the ground and uses its lower and upper exhaust pipes to make an electric snare, bass and hi hat sound, as in electric drum kits.
The Reebro can be bred using a combination of one four-element monster and one three-element monster. Possible combination(s):
There is roughly a 1% chance of breeding this successfully. It is uncertain whether some combinations work better than others. Riff and T-Rox bear the shortest wait time per attempt. According to statistics, doing 70 attempts gives you a 50% chance of successfully breeding at least one Reebro; and doing 690 attempts gives you a 99.9% chance of successfully breeding at least one Reebro. Note that a Rare Monster could substitute any of the parents. The only exceptions are Ethereal Breeding Bonanzas. These increase the chance of breeding an Ethereal by 500% (5x).
Earning Rate and Maximum Income
Earning rate is in coins or shards per hour and depends on Happiness % (Likes increase Happiness), also each monster has a limit to how much income it can hold at a time. Increasing the monster's level increases the limit.
Feeding Monsters
Each monster needs to be fed four times before it reaches the next level. Increasing the monster's level increases the shards earned per hour, as well as the maximum shards earned.
|The food per level table:
More info can be found in this article.
Note With the Ethereal Island update, Reebro can be fed up to level 15, at which time it can be placed on Ethereal Island, rather than on Gold Island.
Every monster has different things that they like. For every unique object that they like that's placed near the monster (if not using a Unity Tree), the monster's happiness will increase by 25%. Placing two of the same liked item near a monster will still only increase happiness by 25%. Below are the things liked by Reebro:
- Nebulob (requires level 9)
- Cybop (level 4)
- Barbloo Statue (level 13)
- Bottomless Pit (level 18)
- Fuzzle Tree (level 13)
See the Likes page to view a complete list of all monsters' likes.
Some items to take into consideration when designing your island by strategy are number of beds for the monster, rate of income per bed, max income per bed, and time for max income to be reached. The income below is for level 15:
|Number of Beds
|Rate of Income High
|Rate of Income Low
|Max Income
|Rate of Income per Bed High
|Rate of Income per Bed Low
|Max Income per Bed
|Time to Max Income @ High
|16:02 hours
|6:15 hours
|Time to Max Income @ Low
|32:03 hours
|12:30 hours
Special Occasion
In 2015, the Reebro dressed up. From this costume, it appears to dress up as a punk, having the stereotypical punk mohawk, lower-lip piercings, and various tattoos places around its feet and body. Such tattoos include Halloween-themed and element-associated tattoos. Its tube-like legs become black and red. There are also triangular green flags at the end of its exhaust pipes.
Name Origin
Reebro's name orginates from the word "Cerebral", specifically the "Rebral" part, and "Bro," an affectionate term for a friend, typically a male one.
- The Reebro, like any other Ethereal monster, can only be placed in the Breeding Structure on Ethereal Island.
- The Reebro was the second ethereal monster added to the game.
- Reebro was the second ethereal monster to receive a Special Occasions costume, the first being Whisp.
- Its appearance looks similar to the Spiderdemon (also known as The Spider Mastermind) from the classic FPS video game Doom II.
- There was a concept of the Reebro.[1]
- Reebro and Ghazt are the only two monsters that contain more than one track on Ethereal Island: Reebro has the most as it has 3 of them.

DAILY NEWS: Miramax French Pact; Lot 47 VPs; Krulik Dot Com
by Eugene Hernandez and Aaron Krach/indieWIRE
>> >> Miramax Nabs Distribution and Re-Make Rights to Onteniente Film
(indieWIRE/5.24.00) — Miramax announced yesterday that it has acquired the
North American distribution rights and the re-make rights to Fabien
Onteniente's French film, "Jet Set."
The movie, which is set to open in France in June, is described in a company
announcement as "a dramatic comedy about a group of friends who plot to
infiltrate Paris' elite social scene in an effort to lure jet-setters to
their floundering bar."
Miramax also announced that Hilltop Entertainment's Harel Goldstein, Michael Grais and Mark Victor, producers of the French movie, will produce the Miramax re-make.
>>Hult and Altyn Join Lipsky's Lot 47
(indieWIRE/5.24.00) — Lot 47 Films has added two executives to its emerging
distribution company roster. Company President Jeff Lipsky announced that
Mary Ann Hult has joined Lot 47 as Vice-President of Publicity, while Dawn
Altyn has signed on as Vice-President of Distribution Services.
Hult recently exited Fox Searchlight as Manager of East Coast Publicity,

>>Underground Auteur Krulik Launches Site
(indieWIRE/5.24.00) — Jeff Krulik fans who were unable to travel to
Washington D.C. to catch the documentarian's work at the American Film
Institute at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts can log on to
Krulik's new and improved website, www.planetkrulik.com, where the
filmmakers simulcasted his AFI debut of new work.
"I like people to be at the theater," explained Krulik. "But I'm trying to
promote this nationally and even internationally — I said to my web guys,
'Let's do a simulcast. I think there's a lot of power in this commonality
that hasn't been explored.'"
AFI hosted two screenings of Krulik's new work on May 13th under the title,
Planet Krulik 2000. During the same hours, the same work screened online.
The program included world premieres: "Three Hour Torture," about a reunion
of the surviving cast members from Gilligan's Island, "King of Porn 2: The
Retirement," "Brando's Bar Mitzvah," the Faith Dane story, an ex-Broadway
showgirl, perennial DC mayoral candidate, and 76 year-old-pothead. "And
since I wouldn't even want to watch an hour and a half of my own stuff,"
explained Krulik in advance of the evening, "I'm including some personal
favorites from the underground film festival circuit."
Krulik's new pieces will join the director's entire filmography which he has
just finished digitizing and putting online. Krulik found his original beta
masters from the last 15 years to get the best quality possible for his new
Internet database. The work is available in both Real Media and Quicktime
"I'm a total believer in streaming video," said Krulik. "I can't watch it at
home — I'm waiting to upgrade and I don't have the patience or the time.
But people in offices and universities and studios can. They've got T-1
lines. I want to have my whole filmography on there in case someone wants to
check it out." [Aaron Krach]

So far I haven't met any inland made Monopoly(-like) edition of Panama
but it is very likely there exist.
However, the company Industrias Ronda
Ltda - Bogotá - Colombia has finally developed to the
Parker/Hasbro supplier in Panama. That company was founded in June
1972 out of a small printing company. From then on their board games and
puzzles activities steadily grow, reason why the company moved in 1984
to a new works, also situated in Bogotá. In that time the company got
licenced by Walt Disney, Parker Brothers and Borrás, the Spanish
licensee of Parker Brothers.
In 1986 the games part of the company changed name into Ronda S.A.
and was it manufacturing games for Latin-American countries like Panama,
Ecuador, Costa Rica, Chile, Mexico and Venezuela. In 2000 an agreement
was entered into with Hasbro for the distribution of their products in
12 Latin-American countries.
International Spanish language ed., Ref.8009

Dimensions of the box: 25.6 x 51.0 cm
The game:
This set has been issued by Parker Brothers in all North-, Middle- and

When many people think of industrial chemicals, they think of those scary-looking yellow drums, containing unknown but almost certainly hazardous goo. A new industry initiative, though hopes to change that by giving consumers more information on the chemicals they use every day.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced that a chemical distributor in Roanoke, Va., has agreed to pay a $43,967 penalty and complete more than $200,000 in safety improvements to settle alleged violations of federal environmental laws designed to protect and inform the public about hazardous chemicals.
NEDAK Ethanol LLC, an alternative fuels manufacturer, has agreed to pay a civil penalty of $3,600 to the United States for failing to develop a risk management program and file a risk management plan for its ethanol production facility at Atkinson, Neb.
The report details ways in which disaster risk managers can improve their decision making by integrating climate information into their operations.
While biobased industrial performance chemicals have been around for awhile, manufacturers have made great strides in the past decade in improving their effectiveness.

The owner and manager of a California condominium complex were sentenced for conspiring to violate the Clean Air Act's asbestos work practice standards during the renovation of a 204-unit apartment building in Winnetka, Calif., in 2006 – work that caused asbestos to be released into the complex and the surrounding community.

Charles Yi, of Santa Clarita, Calif., was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Percy Anderson to four years in prison. John Bostick, also of Santa Clarita, was sentenced to six months home confinement, 150 hours of community service, and three years probation. Yi was convicted after a two-week trial in March 2011 when a jury found him guilty of five felony offenses, including conspiring to violate the Clean Air Act. Bostick pleaded guilty in February 2011 to conspiracy to violate the Clean Air Act.

The jury also convicted Yi of failing to notify the Environmental Protection Agency and the South Coast Air Quality Management District about a renovation containing asbestos, failing to provide a properly trained person during a renovation containing asbestos, failing to properly remove asbestos and failing to properly dispose of asbestos wastes.
Yi was the owner of the now-defunct Millennium-Pacific Icon Group and Bostick was its vice-president. Millennium-Pacific owned the Forest Glen apartment complex in Winnetka that was being converted into condominiums in 2006. Knowing that asbestos was present in the ceilings of apartments in the Forest Glen complex, Yi, Bostick, and the project manager, Joseph Yoon, hired workers who were not trained or certified to conduct asbestos abatements. The workers scraped the ceilings of the apartments without knowing about the asbestos and without wearing any protective gear. The illegal scraping resulted in the repeated release of asbestos-containing material throughout the apartment complex and the surrounding area because Santa Ana winds were blowing during the time of the illegal work. After the illegal asbestos abatement was shut down by an inspector from the South Coast Air Quality Management District, the asbestos was cleaned up at a cost of approximately $1.2 million. Yoon pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges in June 2010 and is scheduled to be sentenced in July.

The federal Clean Air Act requires those who own or supervise the renovation of buildings that contain asbestos to adhere to certain established work practice standards. These standards were created to ensure the safe removal and disposal of the asbestos and the protection of workers.
Do-it-yourselfers may be exposed to methylene diphenyl diisocyanate and toluene diisocyanate from spray foam insulation or sealing concrete applications.
The project team analyzed projected costs over the next 20 years, looking at core smart grid technologies in transmission, substation, distribution, and customer interface.
Those who violate the ban can face stiff penalties, including fines up to $1,000 per violation and an additional $1,000 per day the violation occurs.
"There are just over 1 million employers in California and of those, only 42 are current SHARP recipients," said Cal/OSHA Area Manager Kelly Howard.
Richard Brodsky with Demos, a national policy center, and three other groups have filed Freedom of Information Act requests prompted by the nuclear disaster in Sendai, Japan.
Over the last three years, the federal laboratory has been developing a program to ensure that local professionals in the United Arab Emirates will be trained in safety and security concepts related to nuclear energy programs.
Newly introduced Continuing Chemical Facilities Antiterrorism Security Act does not include a requirement for inherently safer technologies.
The American Glass Bead Manufacturers' Association, which sponsored the study, is urging states and the U.S. government to limit heavy metal levels in glass beads used for highway markings.
ASTM subcommittee is trying to bring consistent, reliable, and accurate sampling to the practice.
Leominster's wastewater treatment plant, which is managed by Veolia Water North America, received the George W. Burke Jr. Award.
ECOtality's electric vehicle home charger receives safety and FCC approval.
Two Washington ammonia fertilizer distributors have agreed to pay more than $33,000 for failing to update their plans for preventing chemical releases at eight facilities throughout Washington.
The European Union's energy commissioner, meanwhile, is watching the U.S. actions and will propose his own legislation soon.
The secret is in the manufacturing and application processes, not the chemical makeup.

Happy Easter
Cate and I made little Easter gifts for the teachers, and office admin lady. (Never forget the office lady, the one who answers all your phone calls, gets you much needed items from the Uniform Shop and adds them to your term fees, helps you with lost notes, missing hats, waives overdue fees... brilliant people are the office workers!) 12 Ferero Rochers tied up in celaphane with lots of decorative ribbon and a handwritten tag by Cate. We made 6 bundles (3 current teachers, principal, office admin and the netball coach!) and she had great fun handing them out.

Gahhh!!! My poor little blender is trapped on a plane or truck or something somewhere across Canada just wanting to be in my arms. :(
I am really excited for my Vitamix and when found out I was getting one last Tuesday patiently waited....but now there is a delay due to 'severe weather' and I am utterly saddened by this turn of events. Tomorrow is my last day at work..and I just wanted to bring that baby home.
You cannot believe how excited I am for this blender...it's been a year and a half that I have been seriously coveting this thing and now I am ONE LUCKY DUCK to be getting it!!!!!
I am just so grateful for the amazing people that are around me around this time - it's been difficult but they make it all that much better. You know who you are. ;)
So yes! I gotta wait!!! :'(
In the meantime, I must finish all my Christmas shopping!! :O There is one more gift I must pick up for my Sister...and then Travis' boss as well. Everyone else, I am pretty much done! I will feel a wave or relief once it's ALL done and wrapped.
My parents have a couple of things too and I also have 3 gifts that haven't even been shipped yet from their respective stores....I don't know how in the hell I am going to have them...I - of course - asked them to be shipped HERE...because I thought it would all get here by now but I was sadly mistaken. >:(
This should teach me to order when I did...then again, I didn't anticipate tomorrow being my last day either! Lol.
My parents will also be in Canada-land tomorrow night! YAY!!! :)
On another note...I am nearly at 137lbs...wtf?? I KNOW it's water weight....I know I said that yesterday too {LOL} but I didn't do too well last night all things considering...meaning shrimps, guacamole and of course the new praline Turtles that I received from Kev. Lol. They are so damn good!! Has anyone tried them??? I am also searching for the cheesecake one. GAHHH. That would is probably...seriously....utterly...amazing.
But I can't find it anywhere! If you're in Ontario and have any ideas - please let me know!!!
Okay - off I go. I have some appointments today and need to make some phone calls. Gotta post my gym membership and get my shit together before tomorrow. Lol.

Metro Diner
Since 1991 the Metro Diner has been serving the quiet hamlet of Middle Village and beyond. Traditional New York Diners are a cultural treasure, and while many in the borough have closed recently, the Metro Diner, run by George Siaxabanis, stands proudly, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner to the locals and many who stop in during their busy day. The Metro Diner is nestled on Metropolitan Avenue, which is a bustling thoroughfare for commerce and local shopping, so there are plenty of opportunities to stop in for a quick and delicious meal.
Start the day off right with a hearty breakfast to stay or to go. The grill cooks up a 3-egg special served any style with bacon, ham, sausage, home fries, and toast that will keep you going until lunch time. Egg sandwiches are a New York tradition and Metro Diner makes dozens of them each day, loaded with eggs, cheese, bacon or ham. Fluffy omelets are whisked with peppers and onions for a delicious Western omelet, or feta cheese and tomato for the Athenian omelet. Make any omelet 'hand held' by piling it on a soft Kaiser roll, toast, or a bagel. There are plenty of bagels, bialys, and muffins too, along with crispy waffles, golden pancakes, and French toast ($6.75).
Metro Diner is an ideal lunch spot, with a wide variety of salads, sandwiches, soups, burgers and more. I saw diners adjacent to me enjoying a crunchy, chopped village salad, tossed with mixed greens, tomato, roasted peppers, chick peas, Bermuda onion and toasted walnuts that made the perfect summer meal ($9.25). Classic Caesar salad, topped with grilled chicken and the turkey salad bowl are other popular choices. The chef prepares homemade soups each day, with a rotation of options that includes cream of turkey, which I enjoyed, lentil, chicken noodle or split pea. These soups pair up nicely with one of Metro's hefty sandwiches, such as the tuna melt on an English muffin or bagel, or the Monte Cristo on French toast with grilled ham, cheese, and turkey. The classic Reuben with corned beef, melted Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing is one of my personal favorites. Hand-held wrap sandwiches are popular delivery items with varieties such as the Midville wrap layered with grilled chicken, cheese, sautéed peppers, onion, and mushrooms. The California wrap adds avocado to grilled chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato and smoky chipotle mayo. Dig into a Greek style gyro sandwich or platter, veal souvlaki sandwich or flaky spinach pie, along with a Greek salad for lunch or dinner.
You can't beat Metro Diner's char-grilled, half-pound burgers, cooked to order and served hot and juicy along with your favorite toppings like cheddar cheese, fried onions, sautéed mushrooms, or feta cheese and onion. Turkey burgers, veggie burgers, and mini slider burgers are also available, and served with cole slaw and pickle or make it a deluxe with French fries and onion rings.
It's too hot to cook, so let the chefs at Metro Diner make you dinner. First, start with an order of crispy chicken wings served with creamy blue cheese dressing. The kids love the chicken fingers and stuffed potato skins too. Entrées include fish and seafood, meats, and sauté dishes. Fresh salmon fillet is broiled or poached with lemon, and served with your choice of rice or potato, soup or salad, and a side vegetable for just $21.95. My stuffed fillet of sole was filled with spinach and feta cheese and was flaky and delicious, served on a generous platter with a baked potato and sautéed broccoli. Tender chicken or veal scampi is gently sautéed with lemon sauce, served with rice, soup or salad, and vegetables ($15). Roast chicken and baked meatloaf with gravy are comforting meals, and the portions are generous at the Metro Diner so there might be some left for lunch. Chicken or veal marsala, chicken Cordon bleu, and chicken teriyaki are popular here.
Carol, the veteran waitress, serves efficiently and with her special sense of humor that makes everyone feel welcome and special. For dessert, order a cup of coffee to accompany the creamy strawberry cheesecake, rice pudding, or ice cream treat.
Visit the Metro Diner any time of day as they are open from 6am to 10pm Monday to Saturday, and 6am to 8pm on Sunday. They'll happily deliver to your home or office, or stop in for a quick and delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner at one of the Queens diners that makes our borough so special.

Sneads and Cottondale split games in volleyball
- Written by Shelia Mader
The Cottondale Lady Hornets volleyball team traveled across Jackson County to take on the always tough, five-straight state champion Sneads Lady Pirates last week. Cottondale knew going into the match they would have their hands full but they never folded. In the end, both teams were victors with the junior varsity Lady Hornets taking the win over Sneads and the Lady Pirates taking the win in the varsity match.
In junior varsity action, Cottondale won 25-18 and 25-20. Cottondale coach Kevin Potts said after the game, "Jersie McGinty and Hailey Chambliss both had a great game service the ball for us. The entire team played smart volleyball. We tried to not beat ourselves and we did a fair job at that. We really wanted this game. Seven of our JV players were a part of our middle school 'A' team that lost three close games to Grand Ridge. That was all the motivation the team needed. Really proud of them going into Sneads and just playing our style of volleyball. Sneads and Grand Ridge are tough places to win."
Varsity match went to Sneads in three sets, 25-7, 25-7 and 25-8.
Leading Sneads in blocks were Lacee Glover and Michaela Edenfield with eight blocks each, followed by Ariana Lee with seven. On board with six blocks was Kiara Garrett with Jordyn Riano, Allura Sheheane, and Kazia Gainer with one block each.
Jordyn Riano led with eight serves, followed by Lacee Glover with five. On board with two was Ariana Lee, with Kiara Garrett, Abby Perkins and Allura Sheheane on board with one each.
Kazia Gainer recorded eight blocks, while Lacee Glover, Kiara Garrett, Jordyn Riano and Allura Sheheane all had one each. Jordyn Riano posted 32 assists on the evening.
Stats were not available for Cottondale. Coach Kevin Potts said after the game, "We just never got anything going at all. Sneads is a superior offensive team but we definitely did not play with any effort. The varsity game will be one that we need to put behind us and work even harder. Sneads is where they are because they are going to try to win every single point, no matter the opponent or the score. Something we as a young team are still building on."

The Fate of the Universe
The research was conducted by measuring the bending of light around a vast cluster of galaxies in the constellation Virgo. There you have it. It would be Virgo, a sign known for its powers of mental analysis, but also for a tendency to be cold.
Describing something as cold and dead is an attribute we apply when our imaginations are not stirred. For a scientist, Mars or the Moon may be cold, dead places. For an astrologer, not so. We are imaginatively connected to these places, and we can sense their influence on our pulses.
It is the same with an infinitely expanding universe, populated by a sprinkling of matter. Is this not a return to some sort of primordial, cosmic consciousness, after the long experiment of life as we know it?
Uranus is currently conjoining Jupiter, an aspect that occurs every 13 or 14 years, and which is associated with major scientific advances. Knowing the fate of the universe is a major advance. But describing it as cold and dead is a symptom of the pathological left-brainedness of our culture, of Uranus at its worst.
As is the dismissal of astrology. I've sometimes said that I am sympathetic to those who dismiss astrology and the other divinatory arts, because there is no reason they should work. I've decided that I'm not sympathetic. Or at least, I'm only sympathetic in the way that I would be to the fantasies of someone who is mentally ill and who I am trying to help.
The human mind has a capacity to function symbolically and intuitively, that takes us to a place of deep connectedness to life. The left-brain, rational function does not give us knowledge, only theories. The right brain gives us knowledge, it gives us power as individual human beings.
Astrology calls forth this side of us. It is not based on evidence, it is about knowing, and it takes us to the knowing place, to the enchanted place. Our culture has forgotten this ancient and essential way of being human. That is why our culture is sick, and that is why those who dismiss astrology are merely exhibiting the symptoms of a collective illness.
It can seem extreme and contrary to talk about our culture in this way, but it is the case. And it includes those intelligent, reasonable, compassionate people who are yet brainwashed by the claims of scientific materialism.
I was watching an interview with CG Jung last night. It is part of a documentary on him called Matter of Heart which I'd highly recommend. It's pricey, but the sort of thing you'll watch again and again. Anyway, he was asked about what happens after death, and he said he didn't know what happens, but that he had treated many elderly patients, and their unconscious, their dream life behaved as if death was not an end point, it behaved as though life was going to continue. This doesn't prove that life continues after death, but what he said was that to live properly, you need to think along the lines of nature. So therefore as you get old you need to continue to treat life as an adventure that is going to continue forever, because that is how life itself behaves. Otherwise you will petrify.

Hmmm... Of course, the 'grow forever' hypothesis is consistent with the Western cultural viewpoint - as in financial markets. A bit like 'survival of the fittest'. So we might be looking at a hypothesis with a limited life-span?! What will our dear scientistic high priests come up with next? Perhaps proof that modern people indeed are the pinnacle of human evolution. Now that would be assuring. People say 'God only knows', and this might be more true than users of this oft-used statement mean. But then, 'God' is also a human concept which I'm sure God has a periodic chuckle about - perhaps that's the cause of earthquakes? - or, as Mr Lennon once said, 'God is a concept by which we measure our pain'. Whatever, before the universe gets too cold and dead, we perhaps need to examine whether and how much development, growth and inflation lead to hubris, otherwise there could be a risk that the next world superpower is run by Afghans or Somalis. (Sorry, just being facetious!). Palden.

A psychotherapist pointed out to me recently that babies are ONLY right-brained. Left-brained-ness is a skill learned over time. How, then, it comes to believe that it is superior to right-brained-ness is a mystery.

TEXAS CITY, Texas – The Baytown Police Department confirmed they have found the body of missing 16-year-old Kirsten Fritch on Thursday.
Equusearch had just started searching when a volunteer on an ATV came across the body. It was found in a wooded area near a building just north of the Shenanigans bar located on 34th Street.
Investigators arrested Fritch's boyfriend, 21-year-old Jesse Dobbs, outside of the bar early Wednesday morning.
Authorities issued an Amber Alert for Fritch after her mother and younger sister were found dead in their Baytown home. Police say Dobbs is a person of interest in the case. The Amber Alert was discontinued Thursday afternoon.

"We need her home," said Fritch's grandmother, Barbara DeRamus. "This is a mother and grandmother's worst nightmare."
Dobbs started dating Fritch after they met online. He moved into the family's home a few weeks ago. DeRamus says Fritch's mother wanted him out.
"He just seemed like a lowlife," she said. "I thought what was Kirsten doing with this idiot."
Tuesday morning, police found Fritch's younger sister, Breanna Pavlicek, 13, and their mom, Cynthia Morris, 37, dead with gunshot wounds in the family's Baytown house.
"I believe he murdered my daughter and my innocent 13-year-old granddaughter," said DeRamus. "I hope he rots in hell."
According to court documents from Polk County, Dobbs was arrested and charged after striking a family member earlier this year.
Police have not charged Dobbs with the murders. He is currently being held in the Galveston County jail on charges of resisting arrest.
