I«DE sroRV or rut nEvot,crioM. NK summer evening in August, 1781, two men were seated at a table in the publia room of a tavern in a settlement about twenty-five miles north of Albany. They hsd been en¬ gaged iu an esrnest conversation for an honr or more, snd evidently one of tbe men had been try¬ ing to persuade tbe other to enter in¬ to some project he was proposing. He bad been speaking earnestly but in such low tones tbat none of the few stragglers that entered the room conld hear what he was saying ; but his com¬ panion wa* plainly interest, and while he said little, he was listening atten-' tively to the words ot his friend. And well he might, for tbe talker was none otber than Joe Bettys, Mioso name was known and feared tbroURh- oui that region At the breaking out of tbe Berolution he had been an ar* dent Whig: but he was captured by tbe British in Arnold's straggle on Lake Champlain, and from that day he was a changed mau; for while he was a captive in Cansda he bod listened to the worda of bis captors, and accepted the position of ensign nuder the royal standard. Hatred snd malice seemed to ruin him after that, ani ho wa^ ever active in plots against bis former friends. He became notorious as a spy, and uot long before this rery time had been caplnred and sentenced to be hanged. Indeed he al¬ ready bad boen led upon the gallows, and was about to bave the noose plsced about his urck when Wasbinglon, overcome by the tears and pleadings of his mother, bad released and par¬ doned the traitor on the one oondition that he would reform. .Toe Bettys had promised readily enough, bnt lisd gone directly from Washington's camp to that of tbe enemy, und instead ol any feeling of gratitude, had re¬ doubled his energy and evil duoda. Murders, plundering and burning tbe homes of the Whigs had followed ; and ot late he had been nousually active in kidnapping isolated colonials, snd sending them to Canada for exchange. He had uu forebodings of bis fate then ; but when, a year later, he again was captured snd executed at Albany, all tbe region breathed a sigh of re lief. His compsnion at Ibis time was John Wallermeyer, as bold a Tory snd bitter partisan as he; but as he was lacking in some of tbe bolder qualities of Bettys, he was better in exucuting the plana of others, than in devising them himself. And Bettys had met him by appointment, and had been ex¬ plaining to bim Ihe details of his pro¬ posal. The spy was disguised, bnt none the less b* wss watchful and nervons, and bis suspicious bad been aroused by tbe entrance uf a stranger who, while he gave no signs of his being aware of the presence of othera io tbe room, nevertheless bad impressed Bettys that his quick glanoe and keen eyea were not unmindful of passing events. "1 know him," said Wallermeyer. "H*'a oneof Ibe strongest loyalists in Albany. Y'ou need bave no fears of bim." "I don't just like his looks though," replied Bettys. "Come out into the yard ;" and tbe two men arose and j lelt the house. ! ".Sow raind," continued Bettys, I wheu he and his friends were onoe I uutside. "I'll see tbat yoa have a ' gsog of just Ihe right sort. Home of I the Tories will be glad to go in, and I I'll have some Canadians and Indians ! along too. It won't do to trnat too lunoh to tbe locals, for they may be 1 weak kneed at tho last." "All rigbl," replied Waltermeycr, ! who had decided to do aa the spy ' directed. "You have tbem at tbo I meeting of tbe roada, about flve miles I ont of tbe town to morrow evening, I and I'll bn tbere." I "I'll nol fail," replied Bettys. ' "Oood luok to you and good-by." he added, as be stood tor a moment, and ; watched his friend as be mounted his j horse, and soon disappeared in tue I darkness. Then Ibe spy bimself started I northward, jast as tbe stranger lie bad I auspecled sppearcd in Ibe doorway of I the tavern. I ".V bold plan ; hul it ought uot to I work. In fact, mucb as I dialike to, I I tbink I'll bave to take a baud in it myself. .\ man's friends sometimes may lie hif^ber tban Kiu^OeorKO bim | be alarmed ' self," murmured tbe etrauger to him-I window he lire I bis ),-uu ; self.

Hometbing must be done. Starting ont alone, he soon re¬ turued to tbe camp they bad made in tbe wooJ^ attended by a Dutchmau whom he bad met and compelled to accompany him. "Now, Hans," said Wallermeyer, when be had called bis band about him, "we want to know just bow many men are at Bohuyler's house." "Yah," replied Hans, turning his ronnd, expressionless faoe from one mnn to another. "Yah; dercvasmuo, also viminsdere' — "Yes, but bow many?" ntked Wal¬ lermeyer, impatiently. "I should dink deru vas," replied Hans. "Bnt bow many?" repeated tbe Tory. ".¦Shust aboud enough," answered the laconic Dutchman. "Bat doesn't Schuyler eve^ leave home? Doesn't be go alonei Wheu doea he go to Albany?" Tho leader, almosl hopeletn, wasohanging the line of his questions. "Yah, he goes lo Albauy. Some¬ timea mit de soldiers —but always rait de guns. Oeneral Hohuyler he kuow how to shood." At length, by dint of many qnes tions, Wallermeyer contrived to gain some of tbe information be was eeek- ing, and, wilh many threats of what would befall him if he revealed tbo presence ol his men, or repealed the questions he bnd asked, he dismissed the Dotobmao and watched bim as be departed down tho rood. His heart would not have been oom- forttfi]il<he could have followed bim, for Hans proceeded directly to Oeneral .Schuyler's home, nnd was witb bim a lony limo in bis private room. When at last he aru<io to go, be raet on tbu piazza tbe man of wbom ,Toe Fcltys bad been suspicious during his iuler- view wilh John Wallermeyer. He, loo, remained in the general's private room lor hslf an hour; and when his host accompanied bim to the door he said: "1 Ibank yon, my friend. Wa are on opposite aides m this fearfnl struggle; but you bave placed Iriendship above country, and I should be less than a man did I not heed two sucb enerf^etio warnings as I have jnst bad." "But you'll protect yourself, will you not?" said tbe Tory. "Never fear, my frieud," replied tbe general, wilb a smile. "1 shall do as yon suggest." As a result of these two warnings, Oeneral Hchuyler obtained a guard ol six men, tbree of whom wera on duty by day and three by nigbt. But eeveral days passed and no signs of tbe kid¬ nappers appeared. The family began to think tbe alarm bad been needless, aud tbat if tbere had been any danger it boil passed. Tbe guard, however, was not dismissed, ami all due pre cautions still were observed. More than a week had passed now sinco I be interview of Joe Bettys with .Tohn Wallermeyer, and tbe general xsAt hoping that the project had boen abnn doned. It4iad been an oxceediugly sultry day even lor Auguat, and alter tbe eveniug meal tbe general and his fam¬ ily were sitting in tbo Isrge front hall enjoying the cool breeze whioh had just sprung up. Tbe servants were scattered about the plaoe, and tho three men who bad been on guard during tbe day were asleep in tbo basement, wUile the three who were on daty were lying oo tbe cool grass lu the garden. Tbe ohildren were play¬ ing about tbeir elders, and all were rejoicing that the cause for alarm had passed, as they supposed. "General, there's a man who wants to speak with you at tbe back gale," said one of tbe servants, spproaohing tbe houae. "I know wbal that means," said Oeneral Schuyler, immediately arising. "1 want every one of yon," he added, turning to bis fnmily, "to go to tbe room upstnirs. Dou't wait, but go im¬ mediately." Tbe frightened womeu nud children quickly obeyed, and tbe general, lall ing the servants, barred the doors and locked tbe wiu lows. .\s soon as be saw Ibis hsd been dune, he ran to his bed¬ room for bi* gun- He stepped to tbe window in bis room for a moment and louked om.

If that was true not n momeut ought to be lost in mnking tbeir c.°cape. His men were in the dining room now, nnd he could beiir tbem as tbey gathered tbo Hilver quiirreling amoug themselves. Evidently the general's silver was as desirnhle as the general's person, and the rnlUans hnd decided to secure what wns nearest first. While the leader was hesitating he henrd u voice cnlt- ing ont of the window above: "Oome on, my brave fellows, surrouud tho bonne nod seoiiro the villisna Tbey are now iu tbe dining-room plunder¬ ing." That was enough. The leader did not know tbnt nol n soldier waa about tbe place, nor that tbe call wan made by tbe general, who had followed np tbe words of bis qnijk-willed daugh¬ ter. Not n "brave fellow" was near, and eren the guards in the cellar, awakened by the confusion, could nol Hnd their guns. They did not know tiil afterward tbst General Schuyler's daughter, Mrs. Charch, had removed tbem all, conHdent that all danger had passed, and fearful that her little boy, wbo delighted in playing with them, migbt be injured. "Kun, boys—rnn!" shouted thr frightened Wallermeyer. "The Con¬ tinentals are all around us I" His comunnions needed no secoml warning, and delaying only long enough to secure their booty and cap¬ ture tbe threo guards on the lawn, began to rnn; and the eaily records lell us that thay never stopped until tbey arrived on the borders of Canada, ihe guards, although tbey had no guns, uaed their brawny lists to good advnntngc, and if there had been a little moru light might hnvo escaped after all. Afterward they had no oiusc to regret their cajiture, however, for the recorda inform us o| farms in Saratoga County presented by Oeneral Hohnyler to John Tubbs, John Oorliea and Juhn Ward.

At the beginning of this year we launched a series of technical articles that have covered Chevrolet Performance's Connect-And-Cruise LSA engine and transmission package, and what it takes to install it into a 1970 Chevelle. Since the LS6 Chevelle was the most powerful muscle car in the Bow Tie line up in 1970, the 556hp LSA was a perfect match.
The LSA is a 6.2L LS platform engine fitted with an intercooled Eaton supercharger. The engine is original equipment in the Cadillac CTS-V and Camaro ZL1 (upgraded to 580 hp). Years ago if you wanted to put an LS engine in your car, you needed to do a lot of custom fabrication and wiring. Thanks to Chevrolet Performance's Connect-And-Cruise line of engine and transmission packages those problems are history.
Dr. Jamie Meyer, Performance Marketing Manager for GM, said, "The Chevrolet Performance engineering team has worked to provide our customers with a turn-key solution for their project car. By providing a brand new, state-of-the art Chevrolet Performance LS crate engine, backing it with a SuperMatic 4L85E transmission, including the transmission hardware, and rounding it out with all of the electronics, it provides for a wonderful foundation for a well-rounded performance car like the D&P Classic Chevy project Chevelle.
"The consumer enjoys the same high performance engine that we install in production cars with a two-year/50,000-mile warranty, and the piece of mind that our engineers have chosen the right parts for them." He added, "The LSA, like the LS3 and 5.3 engines, is available as an E-ROD configured engine package, which provides all of the emissions equipment if that is required in your state. When considered as one crate powertrain package, this is how modern street machines are being built."
Like the doctor said, each Connect-And-Cruise LSA engine and transmission package comes with an installation kit, including flex plates, covers and other important components to keep typical mid-project parts chasing to a minimum.
They said minimum, but there were still supporting items needed to get the motor mounted in the car and hooked up to all the other things, like the cooling and fuel systems. We decided to use as many factory parts as possible to support the swap, so we enlisted the help from our local Chevrolet dealership, Guaranty Chevrolet. This dealership has been the Southern California's leader in Chevrolet Performance parts for more than 30 years. "We have the largest inventory in the Western United States with over 40 employees in the parts department alone. We have the full line of GM replacement and performance engines and transmissions in stock. As a matter of fact we have over 150 engines and transmissions in stock at all time," said Carl Lutes, Parts Manager at Guaranty Chevrolet.
When we couldn't use a factory part, we turned to the aftermarket to fill in the blanks. Darryl Nance of D&P Classic Chevy was instrumental in getting the correct parts and did it as if it were second nature. He said, "At D&P we have been restoring and modernizing classic GM vehicles for decades. We have installed virtually every engine offered by Chevrolet Performance. From the mighty 572 to the dependable 350, we have installed them all in nearly every platform GM offered. My personal favorite and the engine of choice for our customers is the LS. The benefits of improved performance, mileage, and dependability make this a no brainer for many of us. I can safely say that we have done hundreds of engine conversions over the years, and the best engine for the money is an LS. At D&P we have installed everything from the mighty LS9 [ZR1 Vette] to the basic 430 H.P. LS3 and nearly everything in between."
It's been a few months since our last story, as we needed to give the D&P crew some time to button up all the little things. We are going to quickly bring you up to speed on everything that was done from the beginning before we get into what it was like to drive the modern powered Chevelle.
Here is the Chevrolet Performance Connect-And-Cruise LSA/4L85E Crate Powertrain System. It features a 6.2L (376 cubic-inch), 556 horsepower engine fitted with an 1.9-liter intercooled Eaton supercharger. Behind that is a 4L85E automatic trans with a gear set of: 1st: 2.48, 2nd: 1.48, 3rd: 1.00, 4th: 0.75. You also get calibrated engine and transmission controllers, a drive-by-wire gas pedal, ignition, and all the wiring harnesses necessary to run the motor and trans. The controllers are specially designed for retrofit installation in older vehicles, for easier and quicker installation and operation, without the need for third-party tuning.
The oil pan that comes on the LSA is not designed to fit the Chevelle chassis, so a new unit was needed. A Chevrolet Performance Muscle Car Pan kit was ordered from Guaranty Chevrolet. The pan features a profile more suited to muscle car frames. The pan is a factory piece from a different application, so it won't hinder performance. The kit comes with an oil pan, dipstick and tube, bolts, gaskets, pick-up tube, and windage tray.
The LS uses a different motor mount position than other small- and big-blocks. To move the mount where it needs to be for older cars, we used these Holley adapter plates. We used the stock position plates with a set of Tall Narrow urethane motor mounts from Energy Suspension.
The transmission is a bit longer than what was in the car, so a new crossmember from G Force was installed. This is one hefty piece of steel designed to fit in the '70 Chevelle with the longer transmission. The integrated exhaust clearance humps will provide much more room for the exhaust pipes, and in turn, give us more ground clearance.
Once the motor was in the car, we found we had clearance issues between the tie rod ends and the oil pan on the driver's side. The cure was to get new tie rod ends that have the grease fitting on the back instead of the side.
The passenger's side also had a clearance issue, but it couldn't be cured with just a new tie rod. There was a boss cast on the side that features a tapped blind hole. The center link contacted the boss well before we got to full lock. With the boss removed we still had contact, so we welded a 1/4-inch spacer to the steering stop to limit the steering just a bit.
The LSA has a drive-by-wire throttle system and thanks to the Connect-And-Cruise packaging, we don't have to scour the junkyards to find a gas pedal to run the throttle. The pedal assembly is not a simple bolt to the firewall installation, though.The assembly needs to be spaced away from the firewall and put on a small angle to clear the floor and still provide full throttle. D&P built a spacer (inset) to mount the assembly to the firewall instead of modifying the car's sheetmetal.

I've just ordered a Pi.
Is it possible to use the USB plug part of Apple chargers? and then stick a Micro USB cable in it?
I'm looking for some cool things to do with mine, not interested in media centres as i already have one.

I used a laptop USB port on my RPI and blew out the power light or I guess as it was later decided one of the resisters going to it. 2 days old. While you can use a USB port on a computer to power it, according to what I have been told by the Raspberri Pi group is that it is very highly recommended to use a Cell phone charger with at least a 1A output because anyhting lower will cause issues with the unit.
I am waiting for a new Raspberry Pi now since I sent the other one back, but hope to be in business soon with it again. When it comes to XMBC, you will find it is a tad slow on this unit (I had the same one), so don't expect it to be super fast. But it does work good for everything else with the XMBC software. Also, video playback on some channels like HGTV or Food Network don't work as they haven't been able to license the video decoders for those networks.

Do you mean "la valise d'Amélie"? I love the music. Especially the piece called "comptine de l'un autre été". I've learned it on piano . I just didn't see the film yet. I'll have to buy it somewhere.

Fire destroys family's home in ChittendenBy Lucia Suarez
STAFF WRITER | February 07,2013
Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo Fire consumes a home in Chittenden on Wednesday.CHITTENDEN Heavy smoke poured from a single-family home on Holden Road late Wednesday morning as firefighters worked to douse flames that had spread to the attic.
Firefighters from six Rutland County towns responded to the fire that started around 10 a.m. After dousing the flames with water, they used long prods and saws to make holes allowing smoke to exit the house while they worked to find flames and hot spots. A firefighter on the scene said the house was a total loss.
Pittsford Fire Chief Tom Hooker said the fire was very difficult to put out because of so much intense heat and smoke.
We had to pull out at one point, he said. The floor was not stable (and) the metal roof held the heat inside.
Hooker said they had to keep rotating crews because the intense smoke inside the house forced them to change oxygen packs several times.
We couldnt get in there to get it out, he said.
Fire crews from the towns of Pittsford, West Rutland, Proctor, Chittenden, Brandon and Rutland Town responded to the scene.
Paul Crain, who rented the house with his girlfriend and three children, said he had just arrived home after dropping his girlfriend off at work when he noticed the smoke
I came in the door and whoosh, he said while watching firefighters douse the fire. I went through the smoke and grabbed my dog and got out.
Crain said nobody was home when it started, but said the flames were coming from the basement.
The cause of the fire was not identified as of Wednesday night; fire investigators with the Vermont State Police were called to the scene.
Jan Sotirakis, disaster relief coordinator for the town, said there was an effort to collect donations for the family. She said the local school is accepting clothing donations, while the Chittenden Volunteer Fire Department will collect monetary contributions.
We are looking at helping them for the long run, she said. We feel its one of our own and we need to help them.
Donations and checks can be sent to Disaster Relief Fund, 266 Chittenden Road, Chittenden, VT 05737.

Walk-in is thought to be a person whose original soul has departed his or her body and been replaced with a new soul. It is based on a misunderstanding of an ancient concept described in Hinduism whose modern name originated in the Spiritualist faith and was popularized by the related, but not identical New Age movements and beliefs.
A typical modern walk-in report is similar to near-death experience, generally involving a human who is initially injured, ill, incapacitated, or seems to "die" and then recover during surgery. Deep emotional trauma and suicidal desires are said to be other suitable settings for the "walk-in".
After recovering the "walk-in" may behave dramatically differently from previously established behaviour patterns. S/he may speak in an unfamiliar language, self-identify under a different name, be disoriented, or supernally calm. Under current conditions such experience cannot be proven to have an objective basis or "reality"; in psychological terms, this subjective experience might be caused by depersonalization.
In the popular mythos the walk-in exists to provide an accessible wisdom, via close encounters with the nature of personality or death. Typically the walk-in's statements reflect popular obsessions, often of a New Age character, and may be considered "wise" by virtue of slightly archaic language and non-committal references to the metaphysical. Typical statements might include "It is not known where the original inhabitant of the body has gone", and references to reincarnation via the statement "the original soul has left and gone on". The new individual may claim he or she is an angel; a "new" version of the former self; an older, more experienced soul; less often, a brand new one who has never incarnated before; or other origins.
Many walk-ins claim heightened psychic sensitivity and may take up work as New Age healers or ministers. Others claim inability to accomplish basic tasks of daily living. Clearly, at least for some, claiming a walk-in experience may have a number of secondary gains.
In classical cases, the change is immediately apparent to the subject. However, it may take weeks or months before a supposed walk-in notices, or comes to believe, that a transition has indeed occurred. The New Age religion explains this in terms of the "new soul" having enough information to take up the life of the "previous occupant" seamlessly, Occasionally, the "old self" returns after a period of months or years; whereupon either the "new self" departs, or they coexist and may try to integrate into a single being, or work out a means of cooperation and live as two persons in one body.
This kind of walk-in is very similar to old-time, pre-Sybil cases of multiple personalities such as Mary Reynolds. A period of unconsciousness is followed by the manifestation of a new self. William James studied Reynolds and Ansel Bourne, and thought of multiple personality as something natural but not yet understood, rather than a mental disease . Boris Sidis in his 1903 book Multiple Personalities recorded similar cases, involving both men and women.
The Spiritualist version of the walk-in belief is similar, except that Spiritualists dealt less with "advanced beings" or guides than with the souls of ordinary persons, perhaps loved ones, who would take up residence within the body of a living person to help them or to stay in touch with earthly goings-on. An example would be the cooperative partnership of Florence Cook with "Katie King". This was regarded as a completely normal form of mediumship.
The original animus of the body is typically portrayed as spiritually exhausted, voluntarily taking a break or ceding control of the body, and the so-called new personality regarded as legitimately "in charge". While the general New Age belief about walk-ins claims represents that no soul leaves a body involuntarily, and that no soul walks into another body "without reason" or spiritual justifications, the popular understanding has evolved since its inception in 1970.
Subsequently, a belief system grew up around the walk-in. It included New Age attributes such as the concept of "ascending into higher frequencies of evolution", a variety of psi powers, traditional "predictions regarding Earth Changes" first cited in the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation but popularized by Edgar Cayce, and predictions of dire fates for those whose "vibrational levels" remain unraised. In the late 1980s and early 1990s a channelling team known as "Savizar and Silarra" (Extraterrestrial Earth Mission), emphasised their "walk-in" status, claiming successive walk-in experiences together with corresponding name changes. The New Age walk-in belief system now includes a number of variant experiences such as channeling, telepathy contact with extraterrestrial intelligences, or soul merging, where the original soul is said to remain present, coexisting or integrating with the new one. As of 2006, an increasing number of people claim some type of walk-in experience. Walk-ins were featured on the June 4, 1999 segment of Robert Stack's Unsolved Mysteries. According to information presented on this program, there are now walk-in conventions, one of them drawing approximately 500 people.
Checklists to determine walk-in status include name changes, career changes, new interest in the study of psychic phenomena, a feeling that one is an alien, or a sudden desire to move to a new environment. Reported physical changes include memory loss and the sudden onset of allergic reactions. Since all of these factors could possibly be attributed to simple life changes such as adolescence or middle age, it's difficult to determine solely from such a checklist if a "true" walk-in has occurred. The most logical method might be to determine if any specific event historically connected with walk-ins (anaesthesia for surgery is one of the most common) occurred around the time one first started feeling differently. There is, however, no known scientific method to prove whether or not the walk-in experience has any objective reality, let alone how to determine if one has occurred.
The present belief system states that all souls come to earth in order to accomplish missions of cosmic significance, and that a walk-in is a highly evolved soul who is here to help raise the vibrational levels of humanity and doesn't want to bother with the tedious process of incarnating in the usual fashion (through birth).
Walk-ins, according to New Age teachers, are not perfect like Ascended Masters, but are invariably more spiritual, compassionate and sympathetic than the original person. This interpretation is sometimes disputed by the spouses of people who abruptly discontinue marital relations on the grounds that they are not the person whose name appears on the wedding license or that carnal love is not for those of higher vibrational frequencies. Separation, divorce, and remarriage are very common to the New Age walk-in experience.
The theorised origins of these types of walk-in souls vary. Some are thought to be human or animal spirits; others, creatures usually considered mythological; or extraterrestrial intelligences. They are thought to share the body space and take turns using the body, usually with permission and awareness.
Unlike the classic or Sybil-like description of multiple personality disorder, people experiencing these groups of minds usually report getting on rather well, contributing energy and ideas to the host individual's life goals, as well as helping with activities of daily living. Rosemary Brown is perhaps a better example of this style of existing with multiple identities. Some people who experience classic MPD also report walk-ins
Another phenomenon often confused with the abovementioned and classical walk-in experience is hosting. A host is a person who believes he voluntarily shares his body with other souls, usually but not necessarily since birth, while retaining his own consciousness and sense of self. A person who believes he's sharing his body with otherkin walk-in spirits can said to be hosting; but according to reports by people who experience hosting, not all hosted spirits are walk-ins, nor are they necessarily otherkin.
Some hosts claim that the presences they experience as residing in their body are simply the spirits of deceased relatives, or friends or lovers from past lives. This is very similar to the description given by old-time Spiritualist mediums who believed they could allow a departed loved one or a spirit guide to take up residence in their body temporarily or permanently. These mediums were among the first to have the term "multiple personalities" applied to them. according to some early articles in The Word magazine. They experience a sharing of space and body time with the perceived spirit, usually with mutual respect and caring uncharacteristic of stereotyped MPD behavior as reported by psychiatrists.
The concept of voluntary possession or sharing of the body by more than one spirit is well known in many indigenous cultures. One of the central practices of Vodou is to allow gods and saints to take temporary possession of human bodies, to give advice and help to all the people. Folk healing on the island of Bali can involve ceremonies in which departed ancestors take over a living body for the same purposes. For the ceremony called Sanghyang Dedari (external link), two little girls are specially trained to become temporary vessels for a pair of angels, Tunjung Biru and Dewi Supraba, who come to remove bad luck and sickness from the village at the end of the monsoons. And in some Gulf Coast Indian tribes, leaders and healers are chosen from "those who have the most spirits living inside them."
Generally, hosts say they are able to change body control between the persons residing in their bodies at will; in such situations, they feel that the main or host self (in most cases, this is the soul of the original inhabitant) simply "takes a step back" and lets another entity "come forward" to control the body.
People who find themselves in a hosting or walk-in situation are also in a larger category, generally referred to simply as "multiples" (without the "disorder" label) by the otherkin community.
Some otherkin multiples, and other people in walk-in hosting situations, stress that it is important to make a distinction between themselves and people who experience DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder). On numerous websites and Internet forums (where a certain amount of anonymity is possible), these people report being aware of the others and able to communicate and cooperate with them, again in contrast to standard popular and psychiatric conceptions of MPD or DID. They may refer to this experience as healthy or non-disordered multiplicity.
Such people often prefer to use internally-referential terms such as "people" or "selves" over the popular "personality" or psychological term "alter", which are considered misleading through the implication that each perceived internal entity is not a person in his or her own right.
Hawkgirl comics, and the K-PAX series of books and films have all featured situations similar or identical to walk-in experiences, although the term "walk-in" is not used.
The term "Walk-ins" was used several times in the X-Files series. In an X-Files episode (Red Museum) of the second season, it was used to describe the believers of a fictional cult that believed in soul transference in which enlightened spirits take possession of other people's bodies. In another X-Files episode (Closure) of the seventh season, it was used to describe the spirits of dead children who come to convert living children from matter to energy (starlight) in order to save them from a horrible fate in life.
Stephen King's The Dark Tower series of books featured characters known as "walk-ins". In these books, parallel universes are connected through "thinneys" or "doorways" between worlds. "Walk-ins" are human or non-human beings who appear to have accidentally stumbled through to "our" world. They sometimes do not speak English, and sometimes speak languages unidentifiable to academics in "our" world. They often appear disoriented, confused, very ill, or suffering from severe physical defects.
The Japanese novel and film Himitsu is about a dead woman who inhabits the body of her daughter. It was remade in the United States as The Secret.

SLU's City Garden Montessori Outperforms Other St. Louis Charter Schools
In a newly released report about charter school quality throughout Missouri, City Garden Montessori -- which is sponsored by Saint Louis University - was highlighted for its students' performance on statewide proficiency exams (MAP).
|National Alliance for Public Charter Schools. (February 2011). Delivering on the Promise: How Missouri Can Grow Excellent, Accountable Public Charter Schools. http://www.kauffman.org/uploadedfiles/missouri_charter_school_report_2111.pdf
Delivering on the Promise: How Missouri Can Grow Excellent, Accountable Public Charter Schools, authored by the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools and supported by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, analyzes multiple facets of charter school performance throughout the state.
The report details that in mathematics, City Garden Montessori and Confluence Preparatory Academy were the only charter schools in St. Louis that exceeded both the state standard and district average in mathematics.
City Garden Montessori reached 62.5 percent proficiency in communication arts, which is twice as high as the St Louis Public Schools (SLPS) district average. For mathematics, City Garden's 68.8 percent proficiency score surpassed both the SLPS district average at 26.9 percent, and the state standard that is set at 63.3 percent.
SLU also sponsors two other charter schools: Shearwater High School and Grand Center Arts Academy. Both of these schools opened in fall 2010, therefore no Missouri state assessment data is available yet.
If you are interested in learning more about SLU's sponsored charter schools, or would like to become involved, please contact Amanda Aldridge, coordinator for charter school sponsorship at 314-977-2232 or email@example.com.

With bed taxes continuing an upward trend in January, the Gulf County Tourist Development last week put the finishing touches on a change in marketing strategy.
Executive director Jennifer Jenkins said bed tax revenue for January climbed 25 percent year over year, continuing a consistent upward arc for the TDC during the current fiscal year that began in October.
Save for one month, bed tax revenue in that time has grown by double digits each month.
The TDC marketing committee, and in turn the Board of County Commissioners, last week approved a new marketing strategy as Jenkins and her team enter the first full "season" of her tenure.
Jenkins came aboard in the spring of last year, pledging changes to a beleaguered agency but without the requisite time to make substantive tweaks.
This year is different.
The overhauled special event grant funding process is in place, a new sleeker and more uniform Visitor's Guide is on the streets and the marketing strategy Jenkins has formulated will be accomplished in house and will focus on a new strategy.
Gone, Jenkins said, are the days when marketing would center on large media print and broadcast buys in markets such as Birmingham and Atlanta.
Jenkins said she will make perform some television guest spots herself, but the emphasis will be on using social media to market the county and its brands.
"It's all based on content and that content will come from the community," Jenkins said. "This is a change in philosophy. I think we're going to do good things this way. I think we have the community to do this.
"It is important we create tools that are good for the consumer. Once we created these tools that are spokes of the wheel, our partners will be able to (access them)."
The emphasis will be on using social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and other outlets.
The strategy will be using those tools in different ways, at different points of the process of marketing the county and its assets.
For example, Facebook and Pinterest will be used to reach consumers out of the market, posting information and photos on upcoming events and photos, offering deals from partners and the like.
But once those folks are in market, the use of a more immediate outlet such as Twitter to connect immediately to alert consumers on happenings that day will be the focus.
"We will use each a little differently and for different reasons," Jenkins said. "We are being stewards of the message."
The change in strategy is already reflected in the work Jenkins and her team has undertaken for months, using Google analytics to assess the market, its assets and what draws a response from potential visitors.
The work is done completely in-house, reducing the need for vendors and also bringing more bang for the buck.
"This is the way to go," said TDC marketing committee member Tony Whitfield of the new strategy.
The strategy also includes an overhaul of the TDC website, using the colors of the Visitor's Guide and employing a selection of photos on the masthead that will be changed with the season.
"This is a plan for the whole year," said marketing committee chair Alyson Gerlach. "That allows our partners to leverage their funds (in conjunction with the TDC)."
The change in strategy will also necessitate a different method of tracking return on investment, or heads in beds. Jenkins is working the Clerk of Courts staff to establish criteria to use to determine the effectiveness of marketing and promotions.
"That is what we've been asking about for years, measurement and tracking," Gerlach said.
