With messages flowing in from as far away as Ohio, Texas and Michigan, Bridgewater residents to bring donated toys and stuffed animals to those still suffering in the wake of Friday's school shooting tragedy.
After sharing his story of spending Saturday in Newtown, showing Bridgewater's support for those suffering, Young said he began hearing from residents across the country who wanted to help as well.
"I've noticed there's a lot of division in the country, and this is showing me that when it comes right down to helping each other, Americans hop in and help," Robert Young said.
Young said he already has a Jeep filled with stuffed animals—at least 75 so far—and people were planning to drop off toys at his home on Route 202/206 all day Wednesday.
In addition, Young said, one resident, who lives in Bridgewater but grew up in Alabama, is making a sign showing Alabama's support for Newtown.
On Thursday, Young said, he will be driving to Bloomfield because a local church is collecting toys to donate. From there, with everything he has collected, he and his wife will be driving to Newtown to deliver the collected items.
"We are going to go back to the counseling center with the toys," he said. "And some people went out to buy crayons and coloring books to give to them."
Young said he is also planning to stand outside with his sign again telling everyone in Newtown that Bridgewater is supporting the residents there.
As for some of the toys, Young said he is going to try handing them out to whatever children want them.
"I know funerals are continuing tomorrow, and I can go near the church, too," he said. "My plan was to, as some of the kids are coming, they can take a stuffed animal to hold."
For those wanting to donate, Young said he will be at his property on Route 202/206 much of the day Wednesday, with plastic on the ground, where people can leave donated items. As of noon, he had already received six black bags of toys and stuffed animals.
"And then we will get it to where it needs to be," he said.
In addition, Young said, his son set up a Facebook page to encourage people to get involved and donate when and where they can.
But this week is not the end for donations.
Young said people across the country have also said they will be sending him checks to purchase more stuffed animals and toys for the children in Newtown.
"We have things coming in from other states that will take a couple days," he said. "We will go back after Christmas with the amount of checks people send us."
Karen Mason, of Maryland, said it is difficult to know what to do in this kind of tragedy, but she was pleased to hear about Young's trip to Newtown.
"I'm sure there are others like myself who have felt frustrated," she said. "Unlike as with a natural disaster, the community isn't in need of clothing or furniture or money."
Instead, Mason said, she believes Young's show of support with his sign sending love to Newtown from Bridgewater is what will be truly appreciated by the community.
So with a suggestion from reader Brenda Reagan, who read about Young's story, and some assistance by reader Crystal Nifong, from New York, Mason is looking to send posters of support to Newtown as well through a project called "Signs of Love."
"I'm sure that many in this country, and in other nations as well, want to do something to show support but don't know what to do," Mason said. "I think a simple poster, or even a card, showing that Newtown is in our thoughts and that we care would be appreciate by the town."
Mason said that Nifong made phone calls Tuesday about where to send cards, and was told they could be sent to Sandy Hook Elementary School at 12 Dickinson Drive, Sandy Hook, Connecticut, 06482.
"And the more posters or cards from around the country, the better," Mason said. "We want them to know how many people from all over hold them in our thoughts."
"Like many others, I too would like to help the community of Newtown however I can," Nifong added. "What do they need the most? Love. There are plenty of people out there leaving comments on Facebook and other sites but are those messages being seen? The best way to give them our love and support is by sending it directly to Newtown and that's the premise of this project."
Young said he is just happy to continue doing what he can to help, and is proud of the support he has received from around the country.
"I am glad to see people of all types are right now joining in this situation," he said.

SYNOPSIS: In a city rife with injustice, ex-cop Billy Taggart seeks redemption and revenge after being double-crossed and then framed by Mayor Nicholas Hostetler.
REVIEW: One half of The Hughes Brother, known for Menace II Society, Dead Presidents, and From Hell, Allen Hughes continues his solo track with a script from newcomer Brian Tucker for the new Mark Walhberg and Russell Crowe political suspense/thriller Broken City.
Detective Lt. Billy Taggert (Mark Wahlberg, Ted) is found over the body of a young man in a rent-controlled projects. Soon therafter, Taggert is facing a preliminary hearing with murder charges hanging over his head. When the judge rules that there is not enough evidence for a trial, the public outrage forces police chief Carl Fairbanks (Jeffrey Wright,The Ides of March) and NYC Mayor Hostetler (Russell Crowe, Les Miserables) to take Taggert off the force for good. Seven years later, Taggert is a financially struggling private investigator, complete with a snarky assistant Katy Bradshaw (Alona Tal, Kalamity).
Just as his luck is running out, Mayor Hostetler - on the eve of the mayoral election against wealthy congressman Jack Valliant (Barry Pepper, True Grit) - calls on Taggert with a job to follow his wife Cathleen (Catherine Zeta-Jones, Rock of Ages) who he suspects is having an affair. But when Taggert delivers the evidence of Cathleen's betrayal, the political fallout goes far beyond the scope of the job, leading to murder, double-cross, and intrigue.
Mark Walhberg does what he does best. He faces his character Billy Taggert with a scowl, a growl, and a constant furrow in his brow. Taggert has a successful quick wit and quicker jabbing hands, even if he struggles as a private dick. With every hero - or with Taggert, an anti-hero - there needs to be a superior antagonist. With Mayor Hostetler, Russell Crowe takes to the character a thinly veiled and practiced charisma that masks a coiled snake. But is he the villain?
Sure, he has his concerns about the fidelity and loyalty of his wife, but does he have ulterior motives? Police Chief turned Commissioner Fairbanks detests how Taggert escaped prosecution years earlier and seems to throw it in Taggert's face at every turn. Catheen Hostetler has her own motives but seems harmless enough. It's not until the end of the film when the dust settles that everything becomes crystal clear.
As far as political civil servant suspense thrillers go, Broken City will never break the top tiers in the genre. Going against Serpico, The French Connection, or Walhberg's The Departed, Mark and Russell's new effort falls a little short. Don't get me wrong, Mark Walhberg is a capable hero, stringing together a slew of hits from The Italian Job to The Shooter to The Departed to Ted to The Fighter to Contraband. Mark knows action, and he is an underrated action hero. He has proven that his passion for a project helps the film's success. I think maybe this film was just a paycheck.
With a lot of moving parts, Broken City tries out lay out plenty of political intrigue in this 109 minute movie. Every character is on the take, "owned" by someone due to something held over their heads, filled with too much information that is given away a little too freely, or simply under utilized. Taggert's long time girlfriend Natalie (Natalie Martinez, End of Watch) serves as the pivot point for Taggert's entire world, but seems to disappear as soon as her work is done. Zeta-Jones' Cathleen keeps everything close to her vest until its important for Taggert to have additional information to help move the plot along.
Even Jeffrey Wright's Police Commissioner knows more than he's telling. Formulaic, Broken City just doesn't have enough to intrigue the fickle masses. Walhberg takes a beating and strikes out with his fast hands, but he is somewhat fighting with one hand tied behind his back. Only Wright's Fairbanks, Pepper's Valliant, James Ransone's (Sinister) Todd Lancaster, and Kyle Chandler's (Zero Dark Thirty) Paul Andrews bring their A-Game.
Sometimes shot with too soft a lens, sometimes shot with too grainy a lens, Hughes tries to set a tone and visual quality for the film that just doesn't seem to fit or be consistent. Even the musical score, filled with techy noises, is more of a distraction than an enhancement. Couple that with Russell Crowe's amateur New York accent, and one can see where the suspense starts to unravel a bit.
Broken City is a decent effort in the suspense genre. If you like everything Mark Wahlberg does, even this film may not live up to your expectations. Walhberg gets the job done as always, but at what cost?

[JURIST] The German Federal Constitutional Court announced [press release, in German] Tuesday that it upheld [text, in German] legislation prohibiting public support and justification of the Nazi regime. The ruling, made earlier this month, means that neo-Nazis are forbidden from assembling for the purposes of of approving, glorifying or justifying the Nazi regime.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — Niagara County Sheriff's deputies are looking for a man who used a handgun to rob a Wrights Corners gas station on Saturday night.
The suspect was described as a white man between 6-feet and 6-feet-two inches tall and weighing about 225 pounds. He was dressed all in black and wearing a ski mask when he entered the Stop-n-Gas store on Lake Ave. near Ridge Road around 10:42 p.m. and demanded money, the sheriff's office reported.
The clerk complied and the man fled on foot behind the store with an undetermined amount of cash. A report filed by the sheriff's office put the number at $200.
The clerk said she was speaking with a customer, one who is a regular at the station, by the front entrance of the store when the man approached her from the south side of the building. Putting the gun to her face, the man pushed the clerk back into the store, threatening her with the gun and demanding the money from the cash register.
According to the incident report, the man reached across the counter and grabbed all of the money and took off on foot heading west, behind the store.
Witnesses said the man was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black gloves, black pants and the ski mask. The clerk said she could see the man was white, even through the ski mask.
The gun was described as black, but witnesses were unsure of what type the weapon was. The clerk told deputies she thought it was fake but wasn't sure, The man also had a knife, but it was in his pants pocket and he did not show it or threaten anyone with it, the clerk reported.
The Niagara County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Bureau is continuing the investigation. Anyone with information on the case can contact the Sheriff's Office at 438-3393.

Would You Shell Out $14 Million for a 1995 McLaren F1?
While a McLaren may never surpass the price of a rare Ferrari at auction, a 1995 McLaren F1 could fetch as much as $14 million. The current record holder for most expensive car sold at auction is a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO racer, which changed hands for the tiny sum of $52 million USD. Is a McLaren F1 worth multiple millions?

The Ferrari Sergio Tribute Car is True Automotive Art with a Twist
The name Sergio Pininfarina is synonymous with style. The exquisite design house has had a hand in many exotic automobiles, including stables of Prancing Horses. The love affair between Ferrari and Pininfarina dates back decades. In fact, back in the 1960s, Sergio Pininfarina managed to convince the stubborn Enzo Ferrari to make a mid-engine layout line of cars. What followed were the glorious Ferrari 360, 328 and the F40. Sergio passed away in 2012, and now the Ferrari Sergio car has been revealed to honor the long-standing relationship. The Sergio Pininfarina Ferrari car is here. What a fitting way to … Continue reading
Video: Just Detailing a Million Dollar Ferrari
A Ferrari supercar can come in many different shapes, sizes and pricing brackets. One could acquire a project car for perhaps $20k or go for a flagship car for around $300k. Then there are the million dollar Ferrari models, epic beasts that I picture shrouded by a staff of maintenance gnomes meticulously fending off every dust particle before it has a chance to land. Then there is this video, which is much more realistic: The video above shows the likely nausea-inducing process of detailing an extremely rare vintage Ferrari 288 GTO. It is rather lengthy, and only the diehard restoration … Continue reading

Mercedes-Benz to Revive Maybach Name for One Last Rodeo?

It Was For Sale? The Nürburgring Has Been Sold
The famous Nürburgring racing circuit has just changed hands for the loft sum of €100 million Euros, or roughly $140 million USD. Many were not even aware that the uber-popular track was suffering insolvency. German auto firm Capricorn Group purchased the struggling circuit. It was strange to read that the Nürburgring had been sold, as I did not know it was for sale. The Capricorn Group became the proud new owners of the Nürburgring just over a year after the previous owners filed an insolvency application.

When I recently read news headlines, as I did in your Opinions & Views, I thought how nice it is for the Lake Wylie Pilot to give their readers an opportunity to present their opinions. I cringe however, when I read an opinion that is not true or not written based on current and real facts.
Ban assault rifles. Well first, what are they? If they are the fully-automatic weapons used by our military, very few civilians have these. If they do, they are highly regulated.
The so-called assault weapons most are up in arms about, but clearly don't understand, are actually civilian "look-a-likes" fitted with the stylish accoutrements of military weapons like folding stocks and flash hiders, but not with the lethal automatic firepower of the real military weapons.
The "look-a-likes" are just that, an ugly look-a-like that is exactly the same as most of the handguns, rifles and shotguns that you now own. They fire one bullet with each single pull of the trigger.
Let's now look at some facts from our FBI records:
• Of the 12,664 people murdered in 2011, only 323, or less than 3 percent, were killed by rifles of any type.
• From 2006 to 2010, on mass murders, shows most of those killed by a firearm were killed by a handgun.
The Justice Department's study on the effectiveness of a Federal Ban on Assault Weapons from 1994 to 2003 concluded that the ban didn't have much impact.
I could go on, but there are two issues here:
• One: Rifles of any type are clearly not the choice of most shooters against humans.
• Two: The lookalike so-called assault rifles are ugly, so they are easy to hate or not like, when someone holds one up and declares we have to ban these.
Well, the facts do not support these statements.
While I am a hunter and gun owner, I have never owned a so-called assault rifle, but I do strongly support the right of all Americans, under our Second Amendment, to own one and to do with it, as the owners of all other rifles do. They hang them on the wall to look at, they target shoot or they hunt with them, all of which are normal and legal to do with these ugly rifles.

Funeral Service will be held at 1:00 p.m., Friday, June 21, 2013 at St. John's Lutheran Church, Good Thunder with Rev. Rudolph H. Maurer Jr, officiating. Visitation will be held from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Friday at the church. Burial will be in Lyra Cemetery, Good Thunder. Mankato Mortuary is in charge of arrangements. Memorials may be given to Minnesota Pheasants Inc of Blue Earth County or the donor's choice.
Bob was born January 23, 1963 to Ervin and Helen (Anderson) Kaul in Mankato. He graduated from Good Thunder-Amboy High School in 1981. He then attended Mankato Vocational School and graduated from Brainerd Technical College with a degree in Environmental Science and Conservation.

He was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church, Minnesota Pheasants Inc of Blue Earth County of which he was a board member, and Duck's Unlimited. He completed many wonderful projects in his area over the years that have been greatly enjoyed by the public. He worked cooperatively with local units of government, conservation groups, and within all the divisions of the DNR. Bob did more for wildlife in Blue Earth County than anyone could imagine. He was an endless champion of wetlands and grasslands in southern Minnesota. He enjoyed anything outdoors, hunting, especially bird hunting, fishing, conservation of the land, gardening, cooking, and his dogs. Bob was always willing to lend a hand to a friend, he will truly be missed.
Bob is survived by his four siblings, Ron (Barb) Kaul of Good Thunder and their children, Nicole and Christin, Gayle (Greg) Goettlicher of Good Thunder and their children, Dana (Nathan) Heins and son, Caden, Dan (Kelsey) Goettlicher and son, Mason, Mary Sue (Leo) Rosin of Mankato, and Pam (Scott) Shouts of Amboy and their children, Joelle and Derek; sister-in-law, Lou Jean Kaul of Mankato and children, Angela Kaul Paulsell and children, Anna, Grace, and Sloane, Lori (Tony Kubit) Kaul and son, Trey; cousins, extended family, and many friends.

Any of you do cardio 5 days a week?
I'm thinking about going back to my old gym to train again. If I do this I won't be working out at work during my lunch break. I need a lunch break, some form of working out, it keeps me sane.
I was thinking about doing a combination of incline walk, jog for 20 - 25 minutes 5 days per week. I'll also be lifting Mon, Wed, and Friday.
Thoughts and ideas please...
judging from your pics you really don't need to do cardio 5 times a week.I would do this
sat and sun rest
you can train abs with one of your cardio session
upper chest freak
ye man, i agree with HS....you would know better than I b/c it's your body, but it doesn't seem like you need all that judging by your pics. Then again, a walk/jog thing wouldn't be too intense so it might hurt any gains you've made that much.
Yeah. I'm wanting to do this because I NEED a break during work. I sit at a computer 9+ hours a day. I'm sure some of you can relate.
How's the weather/setting where you live? You could always just go for a walk outside, maybe have your gf meet you or something. I dunno. I eat on my break, lol.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Stash this one in the cellar unil 2019 or 2020. Tasted in January 2014, it's tannic, tart in acidity and enormously rich in red cherry jam, pomegranate and persimmon fruit flavors, enriched with sweet, smoky oak. A real beauty from this well-respected vineyard."

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Businesses that transport products along the Mississippi River are still trying to get the government's help as the river approaches historic lows. The Army Corps of Engineers began reducing the outflow from an upper Missouri River reservoir on Friday as part of a plan to ease drought conditions. The move will reduce the amount of water flowing into the Mississippi River and could mean further restrictions on barge traffic or even a partial closure of the river.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Wisconsin's on pace to have its warmest year on record. Through November 24th, the average temperature in Milwaukee was 54 degrees. It was 53.8 degrees for Madison.

Artist of the Month named
METHUEN — Mayor Stephen Zanni named Carol Boileau as Methuen's Artist of the Month for January 2013.
Boileau is a formally trained fine artist who attended the Massachusetts College of Art and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts School, among other art institutes.
"I view my work as a challenge, to record things in a personal way, to paint the feelings, to look deeply into the subject and to bring them to life again," Boileau said.
She is currently the artist in residence at the Brush Gallery in Lowell and said her favorite exhibit thus far has been one titled "Romance the Stones" — a joint exhibit with work from her, her two daughters and her granddaughter. Boileau's daughter Tracy will follow her mother as the mayor's February artist of the month.
"Carol has shown work all over New England and I am thrilled that she will be our first artist of 2013," Zanni said. "I want to invite people to stop by my office and view some of her pieces."
The Artist of the Month Program was started six years ago to give members of Methuen's art community a forum to display their work and to encourage participation in Methuen's growing creative economy. Artists interested in being considered for Artist of the Month should contact Juliette Cormier at 978-983-8505.

Designated by Congress in 2009, the Soda Mountain Wilderness Area has a lot of history behind it. It's a kernel of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument, a cornerstone of biodiversity and the scene of a crash between the ancient Siskiyous and the youthful Cascades.
And finding your way into the Soda can be tough.
Download the USGS 7.5-minute quadrangle Siskiyou Summit from http://tinyurl.com/cbwpupq
To Pilot Rock: Take Mt. Ashland Exit 6 off of I-5. Follow Old Highway 99 south for two miles, turn left on Pilot Rock Road 40-2E-33 and set your tripometer. One mile from Highway 99 you will cross the Pacific Crest Trail; at two miles you will see an old quarry on your right that serves as the Pilot Rock trailhead.

You can thread around its northern boundary by way of the Pacific Crest Trail, or use the USGS 7.5-minute quadrangle Siskiyou Pass to find old roads that access the Soda's recesses.
Many of those roads haven't been touched in decades, leaving them full of logs and brush. But this summer, an 11.9-mile connection of those old roads is being converted into a modern hiking route called the Lone Pilot Trail. Via Hutton Creek, Slide Creek, Scotch Creek and Lone Pine Ridge, the trail connects with the PCT near Pilot Rock and Bean Cabin.
To reach the newly designated trail, hike south from the Pilot Rock Trailhead on the old road bed, pass the PCT and navigate correctly at a few unmarked junctions to reach the mainstem of Hutton Creek, which is about three miles from the trailhead and a good site for low-impact campers.
Between Hutton and Scotch Creek, there are a few more water sources, but the trail is currently brushed in and hard to pass in some sections. From Scotch Creek, ascend Lone Pine Ridge and connect back up with the PCT.
After rejoining the PCT, you can head west back toward Pilot Rock or head east toward Bean Cabin and a small parking lot at the end of Baldy Creek Road. When connected with the PCT, the route makes a moderately challenging 17-mile loop.
The Lone Pine Trail isn't currently signed, and some sections are not suitable for horses, mules or soft-soled hikers. But if you're a competent map reader looking for a challenge, seek this trail now and practice your land navigation skills at the junctions along the way.
"We wanted to create a challenging opportunity for people to head out and get away from the masses, to have a real wilderness experience," said Nick Schade, recreation planner for the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument, about the Lone Pilot.
When wilderness areas becomes too crowded, they tend to lose their wild character and stop feeling like, well, wilderness. Providing solitude and primitive, unconfined recreation is part of Schade's mandate as set by the original 1964 Wilderness Act, and he believes the challenge is worth it.
"You get big views, and you travel down through tall, towering fir forests that haven't been cut before. Then you get into oak-chaparral communities, go in and out of juniper forests, through creek bottoms," Schade said. "The Lone Pilot Trail gives you a good taste of the monument and what is so special about it."
Other upcoming stewardship projects include partial and full decommissioning of roads in the wilderness area. Crews will be working on 23 miles of the Soda's 80-mile road system.
"We're removing culverts, putting banks back to natural slope, and allowing for water to flow so we prevent future blowouts and degradation to the streams," says Kathy Minor, acting assistant manager of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument.
The roads originally were built to facilitate fire-suppression tactics, but they haven't been open since at least 1995, Minor said. The process of returning areas to their natural state is known as "re-wilding."
Also planned in the Soda is a re-route of the Pilot Rock Trail, which will involve heavy rock work. Efforts on that should start in 2013.
Having a real wilderness just outside of town is great, especially in the heat of the hiking season when closer-in trails might feel like a zoo. And to a new generation uncertain about what public assets will still be around in the future, the Soda Mountain Wilderness is an enduring resource — and a treasure — that we can all count on.
If you're interested in seeing and taking care of the Soda, the BLM is hosting weekly volunteer work parties throughout July and August. Carpools meet at 8 a.m. every Thursday at the Shop'n Kart parking lot, 2268 Ashland St. Volunteers can expect to be back by 3 p.m.
Participants will work on trails, remove unneeded fences and improve habitat. Come prepared by wearing long pants, long-sleeved shirt, sturdy boots and bring at least 3 liters of water. Email Ian Tally at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 541-618-2281 for more information.

Hi, everyone! Gosh, I haven't checked these reviews for years. I'm so glad to see there are so many people loving this recipe. HEY... be sure to enter this chili in contests at work... it WINS all the time :-) Last Friday I just won 1st place for "Hot"' category, and overall grand champion for receiving the most points from the judges. Now... I have a couple of BIG secrets to share with you about this recipe, that might make it EVEN BETTER. When I entered it online in 2000, the use of brand names weren't allowed, so I'll try to enter them here so you know. The salsa is actually PACE PICANTE SAUCE... Med. or Hot. The chili seasoning I use is Williams Original (not available in all areas), I use one package per 2 lbs of ground beef... sometimes I throw in a little extra from another package. Enjoy! Best regards, Deb.
I wish I could give more than 5 stars to this recipe! The chili I've been making for years is my mom's recipe, and it's really more like a thick spaghetti sauce than a chunky chili. I needed a new recipe for a chili sale at my work, and it needed to taste great. Deb's recipe did not disappoint. I used Pace salsa (I think it's called Chipolte???) with jalapenos for a little extra kick and added a can of Rotel tomatoes and green chilis. Everyone who tried it raved over the great flavor, and a lot of folks asked for the recipe. It had a little bit of a spicy aftertaste, but was mild enough to appeal to all but the pickiest eaters. My husband even asked me to make a batch for him to take to work Superbowl Sunday. I will never go searching for another chili recipe again! Thanks Deb!!!!!

HELPFUL TIPS: I halved the recipe because it's just for my husband and 2 toddlers (although one eats like a monster!), and we still had leftovers :) Put the normal amount of onion and black pepper. One 10oz. of diced tomatoes w/green chiles and one 14oz of tomato sauce because it needed it. HALF a jar of chunky salsa (although I will do a taste test an hour in to see if I need more), half a jar of each DRAINED kidney bean, and half a can of ranch style chili beans (pinto beans). They are the best beans on earth. Added one can of drained mushrooms and 3/4 a can of drained corn. After I browned 1 lb of meat, I put it in the crock pot for at least 2.5hrs. Grrrreat! We have it at least once every few months for the past several years! Update: I now add things like diced green, yellow and red peppers which really adds to the taste (and gives it color). Season with a few dashes of garlic, oregano, paprika, basil, sugar, and we're talking a real winner! Our family eats it with rice the first night (fri), sat is "let's be lazy day," so we eat it over hot dogs, and sun ...can you say football and fritos and chili over cheese!! We're not obsessed w/this recipe ...really ;)

Hi guys,
Does anyone know whether there is a flight from Ambon to the Banda islands? If so, what does the schedule look like and any idea of costs?
Thanks a lot!

When I was in the Bandas last December there were no flights at all because NBA had had their license withdrawn after a crash on Sumatra but I just did a google for you and it seems they are flying Ambon-Bandaneira again now, 3 times a week.
NBA is a very small company using very old 20 seater planes and their flights often get get cancelled or changed at the last minute because of the weather or technical problems. Here is a photo of the plane
As you can see, the runway on Bandaneira is quite short and there's sea and nearby mountains at both ends. Take off and landing are quite tricky and the pilots have to rely on good eyesight and old fashioned manual controls so if the weather looks a bit dodgy they often don't risk it.
There's supposed to a 10kg luggage weight limit on these planes BTW. On my flight the plane was very overloaded. A couple of overweight Hungarian divers had all their dive gear with them and the cabin attendant spent the whole flight anxiously asking how much everyone and their luggage weighed and doing sums.... they were obviously a bit worried the plane wouldn't manage to stay in the air. It's possible that the 10kg weight limit is much more strictly enforced now after the Sumatra crash but even if it isn't it's not in your best interests to deliberately overload one of these flying songthaews.
NBA don't have a website (not sure if they even have a computer in fact, their Bandaneira office certainly didn't have one when I bought a ticket there a couple of years ago) so you have to buy tickets locally, in Ambon or Bandaneira. Because the planes have a limited number of seats and ferries are very infrequent the flights are usually fully booked out in advance. In 2010 an NBA flight cost about 350,000Rp but I don't know if it's the same price now. Your best bet is to try and contact a guesthouse in Bandaneira before you go to ask what the current flight/ferry situation is. It's always changing and what was true at the beginning of this month may not be true now.

HARRISONBURG -- On a snow day, most of us get to sleep in, but for Hannah Curley, a waitress and bartender, it was business as usual at Billy Jacks.
Luckily for people in walking distance to downtown, the restaurant was open.
Curley saw a good crowd and she said being one of the only restaurants open made a difference.
"It was pretty quiet at the beginning then all of a sudden we got hit, and from there it just took off. We had a few people working so that definitely helped out. I think everyone had a good time that came in," said Curley.
Taste of Downtown is still going on through Sunday.
Billy Jacks was not only open, but offering their $1.50 sliders.

The Daily Star
---- — If a young person has his or her eyes on winning the Scripps National Spelling Bee this week at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Md., near Washington, D.C., it's no longer enough to know how to spell a lot of really difficult words.
Beginning this year, the youngsters have to know what words mean, too.
A written or computer spelling test has been part of the spelling bee since 2002, helping to winnow competitors, even if they spelled their first word onstage correctly.
This year, qualifying for the semifinals and championship finals will be determined by a cumulative score that includes onstage spelling, computer-based spelling questions and computer-based vocabulary questions.
No matter what, we are justifiably proud of Molly Youngs of Sidney, who won The Daily Star 2013 Regional Spelling Bee in March and was eliminated in the second round of the national bee Wednesday on the difficult word "apparatchik."
In the championship round back in March in the Goodrich Theatre at the State University College at Oneonta, Molly spelled "cilantro" without knowing its definition.
"I told her it would take a little bit of luck," her mother, Sheri Youngs, said. "As it turned out, she got a little bit lucky with a word she didn't know."
"Luck," as the late Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi liked to say, "is the residue of design." In other words, Molly had to work very hard to become an excellent speller and reach a point in the local bee where she could take advantage of her good fortune and win her trip.
All in all, we think the change in format is an excellent idea. It's good to know how to spell a word, but it's even better if you know how to use it in a sentence.
While the change in format has its critics who feel that if it's a spelling bee, it should just be about spelling, Spelling Bee Director Paige Kimble defended the new reality.
"The reason for the change is all about extending the bee's commitment to its purpose, which long has been not only to help students improve their spelling," she said, "but also to increase the vocabulary, learn concepts and develop correct English usage."
No pressure, of course, but ESPN is televising the finals scheduled for tonight. The winner gets a prize of $30,000 and an engraved trophy.
All that is fine, but there is a greater prize, not only for the winner, but for all the contestants — who, by the way, all happen to be winners.
Not only do they know how to spell "achievement." They know what it means, too.

Commons class for Celtic
A review of Sunday's action in the Scottish Premiership.
- Related Content
Kris Commons' early strike was enough to give Celtic a 1-0 win over Inverness in their Scottish Premiership encounter at the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium.
The in-form Hoops midfielder drove past Caley keeper Dean Brill after two minutes for his 15th goal of the season but the Hoops failed to capitalise on that in the first half as the home side grew in confidence.
Commons saw a chip clip the bar after the break but although the visitors could not find top gear, they did enough to stretch their unbeaten run in the league to 18 games.
James McFadden scored his first Scottish Premiership goal of the season as Motherwell consolidated second place with an emphatic 5-1 victory at Partick.
Former Motherwell winger Steven Lawless opened the scoring but any hope Thistle had of claiming their first Premiership win at Firhill was extinguished before an end-to-end first half finished.
Keith Lasley quickly equalised before Zaine Francis-Angol scored an excellent solo goal and McFadden lobbed home before the break.
Lionel Ainsworth and substitute John Sutton added to the scoring to seal a big win for Stuart McCall's side.

Paul Cairney inspired Hibernian to a 3-0 win over Kilmarnock to give manager Terry Butcher his first victory at Easter Road since joining the club.
Midfielder Cairney set up Paul Hanlon to head home from a corner in the first half before sealing the points with a fine strike after the break.
Lewis Stevenson added gloss to a fully deserved win with a fierce effort from distance in injury time.
Stevie May's first Scottish Premiership hat-trick took his tally for the season to 15 as St Johnstone beat a make-shift Dundee United side 3-0 in Perth.
Arabs boss Jackie McNamara made eight changes to the side humbled by St Mirren on Boxing Day but the move back-fired as the McDiarmid men claimed three a 3-0 win.
May put the hosts ahead first from the penalty spot after United defender Calum Butcher had been shown a straight red for a last-man barge on the Scotland Under-21 international.
His successful spot-kick ended his team's 460-minute wait for a goal and he grabbed another with a terrific strike from a ridiculously tight angle on 57 minutes before tapping in a third with two minutes left.
Hearts ended a five-match losing streak after mounting a second-half comeback to claim a 1-1 draw against St Mirren in Paisley.
The Scottish Premiership's bottom side looked set for another difficult afternoon after finding themselves trailing to Steven Thompson's opener within a couple of minutes of kick-off.
But the Jambos showed a positive response to a 4-0 drubbing against Kilmarnock in their last outing when Jamie Hamill's equaliser ensured they would not return to Edinburgh empty-handed.
Nicky Low's free-kick in the second minute at Pittodrie proved decisive as Aberdeen took a 1-0 win against second-bottom Ross County.
The Dons dominated large periods of the game but Low's goal was enough for the three points.

|US and Canadian word: sidewalk a hard-surfaced path for pedestrians alongside and a little higher than a road
|a paved surface, esp one that is a thoroughfare
|the material used in paving
|civil engineering the hard layered structure that forms a road carriageway, airfield runway, vehicle park, or other paved areas

|[C13: from Latin pavīmentum a hard floor, from pavīre to beat hard]
It was the custom of the Roman governors to erect their tribunals in open places, as the market-place, the circus, or even the highway. Pilate caused his seat of judgment to be set down in a place called "the Pavement" (John 19:13) i.e., a place paved with a mosaic of coloured stones. It was probably a place thus prepared in front of the "judgment hall." (See GABBATHA.)
