|#451 Subject: Guns are... Posted: 10/13/2005 21:28:03
Guns are vices or tools, never anything more than means to an end..... Not much to talk about there in a philosphic club. sorry......
|#452 Subject: Here's my philosophy Posted: 10/13/2005 22:01:28
Guns are weapons of war. They were developed by humans in order to win wars more quickly. They were made to kill more men. Guns gave qucik deaths and the enemy could be quickly subdued without having them go through intense pain, though this isn't really the case. Early guns were a mess. They were hard to load, they had bad range, and sometimes the powder exploded on their own faces. Also, today, most of the time, gunmen will aim for places that cause slow agonizing pain, such as in the legs, in the arms, in the nutsack. If a man shot towards there, he'd be in agonizing pain.
|#453 Subject: guns, *yawn* ... again... Posted: 10/13/2005 22:36:35
The event of philosophy, without impling anything unto the source is truer than the sense of pure ideas. Expressed with some more forethought or tied to a principle or idea other than the later helps. All I'm saying, that and I wanted to blam the post... Subject of guns, nasty thing, it's a little one sided. Even with another weapon, the tool is still made for one direction.
|#454 Subject: Fine, I'll post on guns just one more friggin time... Posted: 10/13/2005 23:13:53
Guns are malicious weapons, they are made to kill; the same goes for swords. Most swords have to be aligned and are used at the tip for point of wound entry... pretty thought, right. Better still the "quicker death" that this person is talking about is completly invalid. Even without the advances in medical science,normally people were fatally wounded (at this time that meant death could take weeks or monthes). This fatal wound would usually take a very long time because of the fact that armor wasn't made for anything besides mobility. Even the better armors usually left the midsection wide open.
on the other hand, guns are precise weapons.. They were originally used more in frequency for the speed of the weapon, thus improving accuracy dramatically. All of this leads to my final point, there is no honorable weapon, just honorable people.
|#455 Subject: TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK Posted: 10/14/2005 00:14:57
At the deathn tolls of wars, in the times, of steel weaponry. Compared to modern warfare, it was atrosious. When you have 20,000 men on both sides, and 1,200 from both sides live to fight another day, that's 17,600 dead bodies on the field. I can see the honor in defeating an apponent through skill from vigurous training. And I can see the atrocities that have come from the creation of the gun. But warfare is a little less devistating now, than it was.
Also, no matter how good you were and hard you trained through your life, if you were in the front line...you were dead. You were just a buffer for the warriors farther back.
|#456 Subject: More People Posted: 10/14/2005 17:04:03
Means more weapons, guns and ways to destroy without as much training... with that said, I wanted to kill the thread because war itself is horrific. Do not think I like guns, I abhor them. The argument that guns kill more people though, has more to be desired for the one reason that brutality is the horror of war that remains unchanged. Honor is not skill but how you fight.. Underhandedness is a common thread throughout any age of war.
|#457 Subject: Guns... Posted: 10/16/2005 03:13:34
They are a tool and a weapon, shure guns can kill people, but the gun didnt get up and do it itself, it took a person to do that! They should be used in a responsible manner but the problem is that there are alot of guns and alot of insane people willing to use them. I have alot of guns but i dont go outside and shoot up everything just for the heck of it. What i do use them for is to keep the population of varmits down to a minimum. Mainly because most of the natural predators are gone do to the overpopulation of man. So in effect we have to take up the slack and kill them off ourselves. if we dont you will hit a possum every-time you go down the friggin road probably causeing you or someone else to wreck and die! and personally ide rather the vermin die than me anyday...
|#458 Subject: To be honest Posted: 10/30/2005 23:38:39
I dont know how i feel about guns, lots of good points though. How do people feel about god? Where did the stories originate and why. Is god a figment of the myth that is religion, or is there something more to it? im troubled with these questions often so i though i would share them
|#459 Subject: God Posted: 10/31/2005 11:49:58
God is defined by people and that is religion. I tend to look at god more intellectually and find a "good life" the only requirement to enter any version of heaven. God, also, is the embodiement of all the "good" energy of the universe that helps us understand the real diference between what is "right and wrong". But, in the end, god neither defines or corrects our beliefs. God merely is the truth we know, the emodiment of our ideals and trust.
|#460 Subject: Django Posted: 11/01/2005 19:09:42
go to the club Does God Exist if your not sure. people there will help you. if your wondering. i think the idea of god is just a figment of our imagination. to began with people thought of god to explain natural occurences and the way people act. those were the greeks and romans and other past religions. now we have a god to explain the creation of everything and one to give us everlasting peace. a reward for doing whats right. i have a question though. if parents tell us not to expect a reward for doing whats right than why do we expect one for what we have done over our lifetime?
|#461 Subject: maybe it's not so much of a reward, Posted: 11/01/2005 19:20:18
as not punishment. When your parents say that, are you ever punished? No. If you do all good things during your life, you shouldn't be punished. What else is there? Assuming that there is a god, what would he have in store for someone who does nothing but good? He would not punish you, so anything that comes will be good. Think back to your parents. When they tell you to do something, but also that you shouldn't expect a reward, don't you get one anyway? I would consider the work you have accomplished and the people you've helped reward enough.
|#462 Subject: Here's a new Topic: Posted: 11/03/2005 18:45:40
In Platonism, it is stated that ideas, which are basically metaphysical, are more real than physical objects. Ideas are also eternal. Think about it. Think of a chair. You can destroy all the chairs in the world, and yet the idea of a chair still remains. When you build something, what comes first? The object or the idea? It is from ideas that objects are derived. What are all your thoughts on this?
|#463 Subject: Ideas Posted: 11/03/2005 20:47:49
i dont think there eternal. if everything of something is destroyed than after a while it will be forgotten. no one will no what it is anymore and it will become a relic of the past. remember, we dont know much about ancient civilizations like Greece and Rome because there ideas are gone.
but besides that i agree with your post.
|#464 Subject: Then... Posted: 11/03/2005 21:03:27
there is the Platonic idea of a realm beyond that of the physical world. What about that? What's there? I think Ideas are ever eternal there.
|#465 Subject: now Posted: 11/03/2005 21:31:39
that i can agree with. other plains of existance of ok with me.
Chapter 4 is up.
|#466 Subject: Metaphysical.. Posted: 11/04/2005 20:35:05
Ideas run the whole damn human race, to say their not external is like saying that you, yourself, were never born. The part that's probably harder to grasp is the "conscienceness" of it all. A thought is impermanant, while a idea is what moves on. And in reference to permanent conscienceness, the last thought (or beginning idea) would be the end of the human race.
|#467 Subject: AS FOR THE CHAIR IDEA Posted: 11/04/2005 20:56:23
Yeah, the idea of a "chair" as we know it may extinguish....but people will always look for something to sit on when they are tired of standing...the idea of a seat is infinite.
|#468 Subject: Maybe Posted: 11/05/2005 00:02:25
I should have chosen a different word. I'm just stating a Platonic idea.
|#469 Subject: Metaphysical realm... Posted: 11/05/2005 04:31:49
I call it the Ethereal plain of existence... Its a realm that the mind can tap into, just like your computer taps into the ether-net...Buhdist call it the state of Zen...The american goverment calls it remote veiwing...but whatever you call it...Ones things for shure..When you learn to tap into it... all things become realized and all things become known to oneself...and all things become possible at any point in space and time...We as humans are not born with instruction manuals, but if you search long & hard enough, the answers are not that hard to find...
|#470 Subject: We lose brain soon. Posted: 11/15/2005 03:01:45
I think it's a bit more complex than that, only because I think the separate realm of thought isn't readily accessible to everyone. The Buddhist School of Zen and the Descartes School of Rationalism are two very different things, even though they both stress the importance of intuition in light of an increasingly external world. Either way, breaking through the realm of thought doesn't always bring answers- I think it's very possible that some people are worse off when given the ability to think and reason on a higher level.
I am also of the opinion that ideas are somewhat permanent, while thought itself is transient. The chair analogy was really good. Even without the advent of a way to solidify ideas (i.e. written records), I think they would last. I mean, has anyone ever had a really good idea after someone's already had it? Not in my opinion. We take what we've learned and moved on, but ideas are one of the few truly original creations of mankind (and one that is dwindling, I think.)
|#471 Subject: I tend to think of it... Posted: 11/16/2005 10:33:05
I tend to think of it as the global thought continuum... If an idea is good and expressed well enough, the thought will instill itself into the global thought, or into someone else's head. The thought can be shared and continue. It also gets to the idea that every thought has been thought of before and who could denie that has an energy onto itself? If one believes the world is in such black and white, we may never find a "true" thought to begin with....
|#472 Subject: I believe Posted: 11/18/2005 17:58:13
that there is no absolute truth. Nothing is absolutely absolute. However, I do believe that there is an absolute code of good and evil, which corresponds to Socratic thought and contradicts Sophist thought. However, no everyone follows the absolute code, and then there are loopholes...

but i cant stand relativists. any kind of relativism is just being cowardly and attempting to reject making moral judgments on others. dont be a puss-puss. stand up for what you believe in!! let your voice be heard!!
i was having a conversation in one of my seminar classes this past week about the nicomachean eithics.
it seems quite problematic and illogical for one to say "well whatever ari is saying, whatever he is not saying, and whatever one takes out of this book, this is all ari has to say." no. this is not all ari has to say. the NE is not the culmination of ari's take on human life. there are other (many many many other) considerations which need to be taken into account. no one should hold up a copy of the NE and claim that if one should read a single work, then this is the one. no. and clearly ari does not believe so either. works like the politics, the rhetoric, the magna moralia (aka the great ethics) , the eudamian ethics, the physics, the metaphysics, the five works on animals, the de anima (aka on the heavens), the de carlio (sp?) (aka on the soul), the poetics, the natural treaties (or something like that), the problems (which irwin says that most scholars deem as "spurious"), the topics, as well as others that skip my mind right now.
side note: im pretty impressed with myself for memorizing a number of his works just by glancing at the list irwin gives us just a few times=) (oh r some of these works listed in dialogue form? and if so, which ones?)
anywho, i think it is also quite apparent that by NOT giving us directions on what to do with our lives, implies that there are other things which need to be taken into consideration. clearly, the NE can only provide part of a direction towards solidifying further one's character (for the young ppl). this is obviously NOT to claim that just thinking about what is in the NE will change oneself. of course not. but what it can do is give one a "vague" outline as to how to live one's life "positively". however one would like to interpret this positive-ness is certainly up for further discussion, but the point is not to have a simplistic notion of what the work means (what it says vs what it doesnt say vs how it affects you) but to have more than that. this could be fleshed out further, but not in an email and cuz of time constraints.
because the NE does not give one a direction, it also implies that works which do not include ari's take on an issue need to (or should be) taken into consideration. works like platonic dialogue, and countless future works after ari's time. reading and comprehending (and to what degree of this) and understanding ALL of ari's works is NOT the full extent of human existance. by not giving us a direction, the NE, in a way, directs us to other works that could form character and "help" character.
thats basically the argument i have been having with myself for the past few days. please feel free to dispute or agree anything i said.
ps. i recommend irwin's edition of the NE for anyone interested. i posted up a pic of the cover of the book
|#475 Subject: Maybe... Posted: 12/08/2005 20:13:45
on that issue, I don't know what to believe in (whether or not there is a truly ultimate code of good and evil)
|#476 Subject: I COULDN'T Posted: 12/08/2005 20:18:22
Agree with you more. Answers to anything can hardly be found, fully, in one place. Thanks a lot for the list of Aristotle's works. With no history of college education, I only knew the mans name, not the titles of his books. And, really wanting to delve into those works for some time now, you've made life a little easier for me.
|#477 Subject: answers cannot be found Posted: 12/30/2005 17:27:52
because in reality they do not exist. Answers are found due to enlightenment, and our beliefs are passed off as "cheap answers" used to state you are right. No one is truly correct, and no one is truly wrong. As for the code of Good and Evil, the only reason Good and Evil can be determined is through the collective interests of the people, for example: The Americans believe that the Middle Easterners are evil, but the Middle Easterners believe that the Americans are evil solely based on the collective interests. So in a technical sort of way, no one is right or wrong, everyone is neutral but can be classified as good or evil, and the whole religious aspect is a completely different story.
|#478 Subject: A new topic... Posted: 12/31/2005 05:37:29
and one that has gotten me...confused for a while. It has its root in that Platonic thought of the eternal realm of thoughts and ideas. The Stand Alone Complex, where copies are made without an original or prototype. Is this possible, or even plausible, in our world? Or is it only possible in a world of computers, such as where the thought comes from, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex? And what of the Ship of Theseus? This thought arrives from a quote from Plutarch:
|#479 Subject: Is anyone Posted: 01/01/2006 23:20:10
interested in getting into a philosophical discussion involving anime?
|#480 Subject: Ghost in the Shell Posted: 01/03/2006 01:15:55
If you change the vessel you are in your memories may be preserved, the choices you make based on those experiences will also be valid, now it only wonders if a soul has substance. The whole idea of the "ghost" and what conclusion is made my the Major and the Laughing Man at the series closure.

Bearing isolator for flooded, oil mist applications
The environmentally friendly EnDuro, a bearing isolator from Garlock Sealing Technologies, LLC, features a biconcave surface incorporated within a fluorocarbon stator to provide long-life and reliable bearing protection.
Garlock Sealing Technologies, LLC. launched a new environmentally friendly Bearing Isolator designed for flooded and oil mist applications. The Garlock EnDuro design core features a unique and patent pending biconcave surface incorporated within a Garlock Sealing Technologies proprietary fluorocarbon stator which provides long-life and reliable bearing protection. The Garlock EnDuro is reportedly the first seal to prevent the loss of potential environmentally harmful bearing lubrication, while also preventing contamination ingress in flooded or oil mist environments.
"Garlock Sealing Technologies continues to develop sealing technology and the EnDuro is proof: a revolutionary seal like no other," says Earl Rogalski, senior product manager for Garlock Sealing Technologies. He adds: "The EnDuro incorporates three very different, and patent pending sealing technologies into one compact and self-contained design. The result is a bearing isolator that keeps potential environmentally harmful bearing lubrication in and prevents contamination from entering the bearing system at the same time preventing costly equipment wear."
Rogalski adds, "Garlock Sealing Technologies is an upstate New York leader for environmental excellence and our recent Environmental Excellence Award from the State Department of Environmental Conservation is proof that we take our environment seriously. The development of the EnDuro is a result of our continued persistence to ensure that generations will have a clean and productive future."
Garlock EnDuro bearing isolators are designed to quickly and easily replace contact lip seals and traditional bearing isolators used throughout industry. The Garlock EnDuro is available in shaft sizes ranging from 0.875" to over 6", with flanged, flangeless and custom configurations offered.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Knoxville — Knoxville Assistant City Manager Dylan Feik said 108 and 110 East Robinson are scheduled to be demolished Wednesday, June 19, beginning at 7 a.m.
"We wanted to move as fast as we could," Feik said.
The process is expected to take 7-10 days. Final utility disconnection was scheduled for today. Adjoining property owners have been notified and advised to try to have their buildings as empty as possible during demolition. Fire Chief Nick Bonstell, Marion County Emergency Management Coordinator Jeff Anderson, local utility companies and the Knoxville Police Department are expected to monitor the demolition process.
The Sundance Realty building was damaged during the March fire that claimed 110 East Robinson. Owners have been unable to get inside to make repairs with 110 still standing. Feik said that once 110 is down, repairs can begin, as the City has done everything possible to ensure that everything is properly insured and safe.

(You can watch Sabrina Golba's "Angelica" video below the story.) There likely are multiple ways to land a spot on a Christian TV program for kids.
However, making YouTube videos in your room when you're supposed to be doing chores probably isn't going to be one of them.
Still, it worked for Sabrina Golba. The 16-year-old Lawrence County native is scheduled to appear in January on Trinity Broadcasting Network's "iShine KNECT' show, thanks to a 5-year-old alter-ego she created for online viewing while her parents were waiting for her to help re-arrange the basement.
"I was like, 'Oh, my gosh, I don't feel like it,' " Sabrina said of task, "so what I did was create something to make them laugh so that it would also get me out of doing what they wanted me to do.
"And that's when I came up with Angelica."
Angelica is a 5-year old whose precocious observations may harken up memories of Lily Tomlin's Edith Ann for one generation and The Amanda Show for another. The pigtailed preschooler first appeared in YouTube videos that Sabrina made solely for the amusement of her family and friends.
Then came an online contest sponsored by iShine, a Christian media group dedicated to ministering to pre-teens and their families. Its iShine KNECT — described as a faith-based version of pre-teen programming airing on Nickelodeon and Disney Channel — offered the chance for an appearance on the show to the contest winner.
Sabrina — who has lived in Bonita Springs, Fla., since November — was encouraged by one of her viewers to enter Angelica in the competition. After a two-week voting process, Sabrina's video earned her the opportunity to appear on one season four episode of iShine KNECT, as well as the opportunity to audition live in Nashville for a recurring role.
The episode on which she will appear is scheduled to air sometime in January.
"She talks about things day to day that she struggles with, but they're not things that you would think she would struggle with," Sabrina said of her winning character. "She calls 911 to get her friends to come over, because 911 is her friends; she doesn't understand that whenever they come over its because she's in trouble.
"She'll talk about things she did wrong, but she thinks are right. She has tons of confidence; she thinks she's like the best person there ever was and that she can't be wrong."
It's that kind of confidence that Sabrina hopes Angelica will inspire in others.
" I portray her in a way that allows people not to be like cocky, like stuck up, but just to love themselves because they should," Sabrina said. "God gave them great bodies and made them beautiful people but they're struggling with confidence issues.
"I was like, 'Oh, my gosh, I have to do something about that.' So I just started developing a confidence thing with Angelica to show they can be confident as well."
Sabrina is a bit of a role model herself, according to people who have worked with her.
Before moving to Florida, she attended Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School, where she learned acting, dance and vocal skills from performing arts teachers such as Gwyneth Welling.
"I am not surprised by her ability to stay in character," Welling said. "But, I am very impressed by how creatively she put it all together."
Steve and Sara Mikulski helped provide spiritual leadership for Sabrina when she attended New Life Baptist Church in New Wilmington. Sabrina will accompany a group from the church on a missions trip to Jamaica later this month.
"Sabrina is like a breath of fresh air," Steve Mikulski said. "She is eager to learn and grow and is conscious of wanting to do the right thing, I believe she will go very far."
(iShine KNECT airs at 10 a.m. Saturdays on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. Locally, TBN is available on Comcast channel 112, Direct TV channel 372 and Dish Network channel 260.)

Financial Identity Theft
Someone fraudulently charged $2,200 to $2,500 on a man's credit card over the holidays.
The victim notified Discover and was issued a new card, but that the crime occurred again at a later date.
The victim then told police that the IRS notified him that his tax return was under review, even though he had not yet filed his taxes. The IRS told the victim to file a criminal report and to contract credit agencies to monitor his credit.
Financial Identity Theft
Two victims came into the Oak Forest Police Station to report financial identity thefts after two separate incidents.
The people told officers that they went to file their taxes with their respective tax services and were later informed by their services that the IRS refused to accept their taxes. The services told the victims that the IRS informed them that somebody had already filed taxes using both of their identities.
Police advised them to run credit history reports and inform the IRS of the problem.
Those Aren't My Drugs
Marci D. Gill, 35, of the 16300 block of S. Lawndale Avenue, Markham, was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, four counts of possession of a controlled substance, speeding and other violations, following a traffic stop in the 15700 block of Cicero Avenue.
Gill was stopped after police clocked him doing 54 mph in a 35 mph zone.
During the stop, Gill appeared shaky, while continually reaching for a bag in the front passenger seat of the car, according to the report. Gill told officers that he was transporting a 'water bong' used for smoking meth to a friend's house, according to the report.
Gill also told officers that the bong was his, but that he no longer used drugs and that was why he was transporting it to the friend's house, according to the report.
Also in the car, police found another bag containing hundreds of small, plastic baggies commonly used for distributing narcotics.
Inside one bag, police found another bag that was locked. Officers believed the bag contained more pipes and narcotics, according to the report.
Officers cut open the bag and discovered two clear plastic baggies containing suspected crystal meth, one plastic bag containing three pills of suspected Xanax, one purple bill of suspected Aderol, two vials containing suspected Rohypnol and one glass pipe used for ingesting meth.
Gill told officers that the bag and everything in it were not his, according to the report.
Gill was taken to the station and processed, before being placed in a holding cell to await transport to the Bridgeview Courthouse.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Comments about Civia Cycles Civia Kingfield Belt Drive Bike:
I was looking at the Surly LHT or Cross Check, the All-City Space Horse, and this bike, the Civia Kingfield. I chose the Kingfield for a few reasons. One, the price was on point (~$1050), JensonUSA matched, which was great. Two, internal gear hub and belt drive. While there's not been a ton written about the bike as far as reviews go, from the little I know, these are desirable upgrades. Three, aesthetics were on point as well. The bike is sharp. I'm not looking for anything flashy and nothing too serious, ala the LHT; probably one of the best there is for long commutes, I had to stick with the reality that I'm not trekking across the western US on this thing. Perhaps a 20m rt commute a few times a week. The Civia fit the bill.

This recipe is so beautifully different from the classic roux thickened chowder. The fresh clams, in their shells, are steamed in white wine, butter and garlic and the soup is made from the succulent cooking liquid. Peak of the season sweet corn adds a tender bite, and also helps thicken the soup to a silky consistency. The clams are arranged, still in their shells, in shallow bowls and the soup poured over. Simple and oh so lovely!
Serves 4-6
4 ears of fresh organic sweet corn, shucked and silks removed
2 pounds small manila clams
1 1/2 cups good quality dry white wine
4 tablespoon butter, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon each chopped fresh thyme, sage and rosemary
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Hot sauce to taste
(Optional: 8-10 ounces jarred clam juice)
Cubes of toasted bread, toasted baguette slices or croutons
Fresh parsley for garnish
Cut the kernels from the ears of corn (don't cut too deeply) and then, with the back of your knife, scrape down the ears to collect all the juice and flesh left on the cob. Place the kernels and all of their juice in a bowl and set aside.
Scrub the clams well. Combine the wine, 2 tablespoons butter and the garlic in a large pot with a lid and bring to a boil. Add the clams, cover the pot and cook until the clams pop open, about 5 minutes. Discard any clams that do not open. Pour the clam cooking liquid into a bowl and let it sit until any sediment from the clams settles to the bottom of the bowl. Keep the clams warm and moist in the pot with the lid on.
In a soup pot or wide sauce pan, melt the remaining butter over medium heat and sauté the shallots and the herbs for 4-5 minutes until the shallots are very tender. Carefully pour the cooking liquid from the clams into the pot with the shallots, leaving behind any sand or sediment. Add the corn and the cream and simmer gently for about 3-4 minutes. The juices form the corn will lightly thicken the soup. Season with salt, pepper and hot sauce. If you would like a little juicer chowder, add 8-10 ounces of clam juice from a jar.
Divide the clams, still in their shells, between 4-6 wide soup bowls and add 3 or 4 croutons to each. Spoon the corn chowder over and around the clams. Garnish with fresh parsley, (chopped or sprigs).

WARRIOR — Organizers of efforts to open a new library in Warrior are moving forward in their efforts.
They are currently putting out a call for individuals and businesses to reserve a booth for an arts and craft show on Oct. 12.
The show will be held at the former National Guard armory, which is slowly being renovated into a new library facility as the board gathers grants and donations.
The facility will be called the Regional Library and Arts Center, a name that reflects its expanded mission to include the arts.
An arts council has been formed, and recently held its first meeting to get organized and set a course for the future.
In order to raise funds to help move the project forward, the library holds a book sale every Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the future library on Cane Creek Road. The books are donated, and shoppers can buy a grocery bag full of books for $5.
Janie McCallie, a member of the library foundation board, said the book sales have netted almost $2,000 in the past four months.
"One hundred percent of all proceeds goes to the new library," McCallie said.
Also, the foundation's grant writer has recently submitted a new grant proposal that could result in more funds for the project.
"It's a more positive outlook now than it's ever been," said McCallie.
Booth rental proceeds from the arts and craft show in October will also benefit the library. Booths are 10-by-10 feet and are $50 each.
To reserve a space or for more information, contact McCallie at (205) 743-8608 or email@example.com, or contact Barbara Gray at (205) 356-8587 or

Buzzing down Martin Mill Pike, I clicked the bike into third gear and threw it into a hard right corner. Remembering this was a buddy's borrowed bike, I backed off a bit but not for long as the DiClaudios' "Killer Bee" Yamaha RD350 just kept begging for more. The tires stuck well, the brakes had good feel, and the suspension felt predictable. All in all, it was just about everything I could wish for in a vintage bike. I was thankful as I pulled back into their driveway in one piece, and I could totally understand why there is an urban legend that states that the "RD" in the name actually stands for "racing death."
The RD350 is a 1970s-era Yamaha that is powered by a two-stroke, twin-cylinder engine with a displacement of 348ccs. The RD's power band is very peaky thanks to its two-stroke power plant, but in actuality the peakiness of the motor is one of the traits that makes this bike so much fun to ride. A single disc on the front and a drum brake setup on the rear stops the bike, and (for its time) its weight of around 350 pounds wet was feather light.
As of most other bikes of the era, the RD350 is fitted with 18" wheels, which means that there is a pretty good selection of sticky vintage tires for the bike. Noteworthy technical innovation on the RD350 include the first set of reed valves on a two-stroke Yamaha and the addition of seven port cylinders, which allowed the bike to put out 39 hp at the crank. While 39 hp doesn't seem like an excess of power, in its day the RD350 could embarrass 750cc bikes with the right rider onboard.
Out of the box, the bike's styling is classic Japanese 1970s standard, which could either be great or boring depending on your likes. Fortunately, bikes such as the RD350 can easily be manipulated to look the part of a screaming café racer, buzzing dirt tracker, or even as a dual-sport machine depending on your taste. With just a few simple changes such as bars or a new tail, the bike's looks can easily be changed to suit the owner's preferences, whatever they may be.
Every bike does have its downsides, and Yamaha's mighty RD350 is no exception. First and foremost, the fuel economy is pretty abysmal (two-strokes generally are known as heavy fuel sippers) as the bike only gets around 25 mpg if you're generous with the throttle like myself. Secondly, the environmental aspects of the bike are iffy at best and downright bad in the eyes of the EPA. Lastly, although the maintenance is easier on a two-stroke, it is needed more frequently—so if you don't want to be wrenching very often, the RD350 may not be the best choice for you. Blue smoke aside, if you can get over the awful gas mileage there really aren't that many downsides to owning a Yamaha RD350.
The RD350 was only produced between 1973 and 1975 before finally subsiding to its younger cousin, the cleaner burning RD400. For a bike that was only produced for three years, it has made quite an impact on the motorcycling community. Calling it a cult bike would most definitely be an understatement as this bike is loved for its perfect combination of light weight, agility, and power output.
As far as price is concerned, this is truly a workingman's motorcycle, with RDs in decent shape commonly going for around $1,000. A pristine example could fetch in the neighborhood of $2,500 to $3,000, but generally 80 percent of RD350s go between $1,000 and $2,000. Being a two-stoke also means that the bike is relatively easy for everyday folks to work on (since two-strokes don't have valves to worry about) which is as big of a money saver in motorcycling as any.
In the Knoxville vicinity I was able to find several RD350s for sale ranging from $400 for a non-runner to $2,650 for a heavily customized bike with a fairing. Of all the RDs I saw for sale, my personal favorite was a good running RD350 in Northern Alabama that looked pretty good cosmetically for the bargain of $800. I would expect that with a simple carburetor cleaning that this particular RD would be about the best fun that $800 could buy.
Something about Yamaha's two-stroke RD350 is definitely intoxicating. I'm not sure whether it's the smell of premix during a morning ride or the feeling of keeping the bike perfectly wound up in the power band, but the RD350 definitely delivers a riding experience unique to itself. At the price point that you can find RD350s at on today's market, it has to be one of the most fun bikes your can get for your dollar out there.

Florence Chadwick
From Openwaterpedia
Florence Chadwick (19 May 1918 – 15 March 1995) was inducted in the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame in 1966 as an Honour Swimmer. She was similarly honored by the International Swimming Hall of Fame.
Chadwick was a typist and swimming coach from California, U.S.A. At 32 years old, she became the first woman to swim the English Channel from England to France in 1951. It is reported that she swum from Cap Gris Nez, France to South Foreland, England in 1950. Her three England-to-France swims each set a record for the fastest time, including her 16 hour and 22 minutes crossing in 1951, her 1953 crossing and her 13 hours and 55 minute crossing in October, 1955.
On her last three successful swims she also attempted a two-way crossing, but gave up on the return leg on each occasion. In 1952, she also successfully crossed the Catalina Channel in 13 hours and 45 minutes. She is tied for 30th on the Oceans Seven list.

Favel Farrington meets Roc Pendorric on the idyllic Mediterranean island of Capri, where she was raised and lives with her father. Roc sweeps her off her feet, taking her from her home by an emerald sea to the ancient family home of the Pendorrics, in Cornwall. His sister and her family await them with open arms, welcoming young Favel. She is the much anticipated Bride of Pendorric, a name that amuses and flatters her.
The castle is beautiful in its way, but the atmosphere is foreboding. Roc's twin nieces begin watching her carefully; even the stones in the courtyard seem to have eyes. On the walls hang portraits of two other Brides of Pendorric—one of them Roc's mother—who died both young and tragically. Favel's fear increases as Roc seems to be growing more and more distant. Has her courtship and marriage been just a deception?
Soon Favel can no longer dismiss as accidents the strange things happening to her. Someone is trying to kill her and she must confront the very real dangers that surround her.

Flakes off every day
By Pleasantly surprised
from Manitoulin Island, Ontario
I have used other Pur Minerals mascaras which were fine, but this came with a showstopper and I was very disappointed. Every day I have flakes and black colour under my eyes. Sadly, after purchasing Pur Minerals for many years (mostly for the 4-in-1), I am now looking elsewhere as Pur Minerals products don't seem to be doing the job any more.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Love it
By Melanie Jewelery Lover

I love this mascara, builds nicely and gives you nice lashes. Unlike some other reviews, I've had no flaking issues whatsoever.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
quite happy
By nana62
from Vernon, b.c.
I purchased this mascara sometime ago and have been quite happy with it. I have tried many mascaras and this one has minimal, if any flaking or clumping. I am over 60 and my eyelashes are much thinner and this mascara gives me lots off volume and length. I will certainly buy it again.
By racergilles

I was looking forward ti receiving the Big Blink mascara but was disappointed after using it: it clumps and flakes (as reported by another woman)I wouldn't buy it again
By TSC Shopper
from Montreal
Got the Big Bling mascara as a bonus with recent show stopper. While the mascara is easy to apply and adds volume to lashes and does not sting or irritate, it smudges during the course of the day. I have no patience any more with smudgy mascaras and binned it, glad it was a bonus and did not spend $ for it.

No brush on the end of the wand
By Vee
from Fort erie, ON
I received in the show stopper and was looking forward to trying it but when I opened the tube there was no brush on the end of the wand! I have always had a good experience with Pur Minerals in the past so I didn't expect to be let down and because it was in a show stopper they couldn't send me a new one.
clumpy & messy
By Dort
from Kingston,Ontario
I have very long lashes and a double row to boot. I always used Pur minerals mascara before as they were the only ones that didn't clump or go on too thick and brittle. Sadly this one does it's flacky as well and like previous reviews I have to almost wipe it off (wasteful) before I use and then brush out excess with another brush.I should have returned it but didn't.I will not order again and am afraid of the other mascaras offered by Pur now
By Lorna
from St. Catharines, Ontario
This mascara shows up lashes that I did not even know that I had ! I have never found a better mascara in all my years, and I am 59.It goes on smooth and not clumpy or wet and messy like some other ones.You will be shocked by the long beautiful lashes you have, when you use this mascara. Honest truth !!!!
Problem with Applicator
By I'm Retired
from St. Catharines, ON
I loved the mascara but after three or four uses, the bush came off and stayed in the container and I had to throw it out. Because it was in the showstopper, I couldn't return it. The few times I used it, however, I thought it was the best I had ever used. Just disappointed in the applicator.
Bold and Natural
By Janice
from Edmonton, AB
Finding the best mascara for definition and depth is not easy. However, this one is a top performer for all women on the go! If you are looking for no clumps, no flakes, no smudges this amazing item is for you.

BeeJay Anya left N.C. State at the end of October after his official visit and decided he wanted to play basketball for the Wolfpack.
Anya, a top 40 recruit in the class of 2013, also decided he wanted to wait to make his announcement from his high school in front of his family and teammates.
To the surprise of no one, Anya pulled on a red N.C. State hat Friday night at famed DeMatha Catholic outside of Washington, D.C. and celebrated his decision.
A day after his choice, Anya was still confused about how his recruitment has been portrayed. N.C. State, Indiana, Syracuse, Pittsburgh and Ohio State all recruited and wanted Anya, a 6-foot-9 power forward who is rated as the No. 32 prospect in the class by ESPN.
But in the days leading up to Anya's official decision, he was portrayed as only having one choice, N.C. State.
Evan Daniels, recruiting analyst for Fox Sports and Scout.com, reported on Oct. 31 that Indiana had stopped recruiting Anya to focus on forward Noah Vonleh. The Hoosiers landed Vonleh, rated No. 8 in the class, beating North Carolina for his services.
"It doesn't show much on their part," Anya said of Indiana. "That's fine. I know what happened. I talked to their coaches and wished them luck after my visit to N.C. State."
Anya made his official visit to N.C. State from Oct. 26 to 28.
Anya gives Wolfpack coach Mark Gottfried another top player in the class of 2013 and another big to help replace senior Richard Howell and junior C.J. Leslie, who is expected to leave for the NBA after this season.
Gottfried also has commitments from point guard Anthony Barber (No. 12 in the ESPN top 100) and forward Kyle Washington (No. 69). N.C. State is also one of six finalists for forward Julius Randle, the No. 4 player in the class.
"It's another top 10 group for N.C. State," ESPN recruiting analyst Dave Telep said. "Gottfried continues to upgrade the talent in the program."
Anya said the Pack's improvement under Gottfried, a the Sweet 16 appearance last season after a five-year absence from the NCAA tournament and a No. 6 ranking in the country to start this season, was one of the biggest reasons he chose N.C. State.
"He has pulled the team up from nowhere," Anya said. "He's really a good coach."
Anya gives N.C. State a connection to its championship past. The starting backcourt of the 1983 championship team, Sidney Lowe and Dereck Whittenburg, both came from DeMatha. He also gives the Wolfpack some size.
"He has unusually long arms and he plays bigger than his listed height," Telep said.
Anya is 275 pounds and he has lost 35 pounds since the start of his junior year at DeMatha. Anya has a different skill set from Leslie and is bigger than Howell but he said he will fit into Gottfried's high-post offense.
"I'll do whatever they want me to do to win games," Anya said. Joe Giglio

STILLWATER, Okla. —
Oklahoma State cross country coach Dave Smith has to be one heck of a chess player with the amount of strategy he uses coaching the Cowboy program to three national titles in the past four years.
It's not simply a "go run" approach for the OSU men's cross country team, which heads into Friday's NCAA Midwest Regional race in Ames, Iowa, as the reigning NCAA champions. Smith has been preparing for these last two weeks of the season since the end of last year's cross country season.
Smith and the Cowboys have foregone the prestige of rankings and focus on the end result. There has been no need to win regular season races with OSU's top runners, instead allowing them to ease through the season and be fresh for the final push.
"We tried to limit how many times the guys have run so far," Smith said. "... We've kind of had three phases to our season, and the guys racing heavy now in November didn't do much racing in October."
There's reasoning for everything Smith decides for his nationally recognized program.
With the national championships being run in Terre Haute, Ind., just eight days after the regional meet, preserving runners for a rough eight-day stretch was more important.
And Smith learned his lesson last year about using secondary runners to reach the NCAA Championships. Oklahoma State sat several of its key contributors at last year's regional meet, and advanced to the national meet by a mere two points. Smith plans to go with all five of his top runners.
"It's tricky. It's a delicate balance. Last year, we tried to balance it too hard, and it nearly cost us," Smith said. "You have to be careful. You need to get the job done, qualify for nationals and do it with as little exertion as possible and try to save something in the tank."
While Oklahoma State is expected to qualify for the Nov. 23 championship race, the reigning Division I champions are actually heading into the final leg of the season as underdogs. OSU held the top ranking for much of the year before slipping to third — thanks to not running it's top runners at times — and now sit behind top-ranked Colorado and second-ranked Northern Arizona, who OSU beat head-to-head at the Cowboy Jamboree.
"It's kind of nice, because now we just go in there and run our race and don't have that pressure (of the No. 1 ranking)," OSU senior Shadrack Kipchirchir said. "We know how deep our team is, so we'll go out there and keep doing what we've been doing. We know how good our team is and we're going out there to win."
On the women's side, qualifying for a fourth consecutive trip to the NCAA National Championships will be a tall task. The Cowgirls will be without the services of one of the country's top distance runners, Natalja Piliusina, who won an NCAA championship in the spring in the 1,500-meters.
Instead, Oklahoma State will rely on the sudden surge from sophomore Kaela Edwards. The Highlands Ranch, Colo., native came on strong late in the Big 12 Conference championship race to finish as OSU's third runner and push the Lady Pokes to a third-place team finish.
"Kaela amazes me. Everything she has done so far blows my mind, especially considering how little she has raced," Smith said. "... She is very tough mentally and competitive. She doesn't see anything that should limit her performance. She is gaining confidence and learning how to race. She will only continue to get better."

The Tribune-Star
While in middle and high school, Jesse Walker developed a strong interest in the weather.
He thought about a career at the National Weather Service or at a storm prediction center, but the idea of becoming a television meteorologist never entered his mind.
A tour of the WTWO-TV studio in late 1985, however, altered the course of his life. Then an Indiana State University student — who planned to transfer to Purdue to get a degree in meteorology — he toured the station as part of a noncredit weather class.
At the time, the station was looking for a weekend, on-air weather person. "They talked me into an audition, and one thing led to another," Walker recalled.
The news director at the time, Mark Allen, (now a news anchor with WTHI) told Walker he had potential as a TV meteorologist.
And the rest is Wabash Valley weather history.
Walker began his career at WTWO in December 1985, when he accepted that weekend weather role, and he's been there ever since. In the summer of 1988, after graduating from ISU with a bachelor's degree in physical geography, he took over duties as the anchor and meteorologist of the morning show and the midday meteorologist. In September 1990, he became the chief meteorologist, and has been in that role since.
Now, 271⁄2 years later, Walker looks back. "I never thought I would get into television," but, after he took over Saturday and Sunday weather duties, he realized he liked it.
He's looked at a few other career "options" through the years, but he's chosen to stay in his home community. The West Vigo High School graduate, who is married and has a 27-year-old daughter, said he's happy where he is.
"I like what I do, and it's home for me and my wife. There's a lot to be said for that," he said.
Walker first became interested in weather at around age 13, and he frequently did weather projects for 4-H.
He credits a class with a West Vigo High School science teacher, the late Dave Barter, for piquing that interest. "He was really into weather as well," Walker said of the educator. One semester, the class took a field trip to Chanute Air Force Base in Illinois, where they trained people for weather forecasting in the Air Force.
Walker likes meteorology because of the challenge involved in trying to figure out the ever-changing weather conditions, he said. "We have such extreme weather in this area," Walker said, alluding to the snow, ice, tornadoes, drought and floods that sometimes descend on the Valley.
Weather forecasting can't be done with 100 percent accuracy, but it's come a long way since Walker started.
Now, there is Doppler radar as well as sophisticated computer models. Experience also is important in taking the information available and making an accurate forecast.
"When we're wrong, people remember," Walker said.
Weather forecasting is about 85 to 88 percent accurate for the first day or two, but the further out in time you get, the less accurate that forecast becomes, Walker said. Six or seven days out, "We can give you an idea that it will get a lot colder or a lot warmer."
A long-range forecast, such as a 90-day winter outlook, attempts to provide a general trend of what forecasters believe will happen.
With today's sophisticated technology, Walker and other meteorologists can more accurately pinpoint the timing and amounts of rain and snow. For severe weather conditions, they can be more specific about locations — for example, a tornado warning for a specific area in Vigo County.
Walker frequently speaks to groups during the spring and summer about severe weather and safety tips.
Last Tuesday, he spoke to school students in the Illinois towns of Marshall and Casey. And, the meteorologist knows those one-on-one speaking engagements can make an impact and maybe even save lives.
Many years ago, he spoke to Ouabache Elementary second-graders about severe weather and what to do if it strikes.
Not long afterward, a severe storm hit the Collett Park neighborhood, knocking down many trees. Soon after the storm, Walker got a call from a man who thanked him for the talk he gave at Ouabache.
When the storm hit, the man's wife and young son became concerned. It was his second-grade daughter who calmly told her mom and slightly older brother that they should go to the basement and get under the work bench.
The mom asked the girl how she knew what to do, and the girl replied that Jesse Walker had spoken to the class about how to respond when a storm hits.
Walker believes schoolkids are more attentive when he talks to a class in person, as opposed to what he might say on a newscast. "I think they remember better when I'm there one on one," he said.
Years later, students will tell him they remember the time he came and talked to their classes.
Speaking to classes and groups is a part of the job the public may not realize — and sometimes it makes for long days. Last Tuesday, he left home at 9:45 a.m. to speak to the Illinois classes. Afterward, he immediately went to the station to prepare for the evening newscasts. His day didn't end until about midnight.
Walker's day started early on Wednesday, as well, when he went to Parke County to participate in a Conservation Days event for schoolchildren.
He participates in other school events and programs, walks in parades and occasionally judges contests. "I've had to testify in trials where weather was an element in what happened," he said.
There's much more to being a television meteorologist than just reporting on the weather each night. "There's really a lot of other things we do that people may not think about," he said.
Walker was voted the Best TV Personality in the Wabash Valley as part of the 2010, 2012 and 2013 Tribune-Star Readers Choice Awards. Considering the tough competition, he describes that as "a pretty big honor."
In the survey, people have to take the time and trouble to write down, and submit, his name — and a lot of people chose Walker in that category. Other contenders have been in the local media market for a long time, as well.
The 47-year-old Vigo County native believes that his involvement in the community and numerous speaking engagements help make the difference. "People recognize that and appreciate it," he said.
Tim Sturgess, WTWO general manager, said that "with Jesse, what you see on TV is exactly what you get when you talk to him in person. He's very interested in the weather and does a great job explaining it so the average person can understand it."
Walker relates well to people in the Wabash Valley, something that comes across when he does his weathercast. "We've been fortunate that someone with his qualifications has stayed around for so long," Sturgess said.
Walker is married to Christiane and has one daughter, Courtney, who is a physical trainer. His wife graduated from Clay City High School.
In his spare time, he likes to run and has done several mini marathons. In the winter, he does P90X training, a 90-day workout program that he's done for four years now. It involves a 1 to 11⁄2 hour workout each day.
Walker also enjoys outdoor activities such as yard work and gardening, and even splitting wood. Since the family uses an outdoor woodburner to heat their water and to heat the house in winter, there's plenty of wood-splitting to be done.
But Walker's top interest remains the weather. "Even if I'm off work, I'd still check it," he said. "I love it. It's a hobby of mine, and if I can have a job doing what I love and get paid for it, that's pretty good."
People sometimes ask Walker how much longer he plans to continue in his current role. "The day it stops being fun will be the last day I do it," he said. "But it's still fun right now."

Meredith and Nina are two sisters, one a mom and business woman, the other a famous photographer, but both are scarred from the perceived disapproval of their mother. When, on his deathbed, their father makes Nina promise that she will get their mother to tell them once again a Russian fairy tale that she often told them when they were children, only now she is to tell them the story completely, to the end, the girls get an entirely different picture of their mother. What unfolds is a story within a story, and how through the story the two daughters are finally able to understand their mother and she is able to receive the vindication and healing caused by her experiences.
I thought the author did a very good job of melding the two stories. I never felt confused as to what story she was telling and neither story dragged. It was a very enjoyable read. Check catalog for availability.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — Cliff Spieler, a former Niagara Gazette reporter and editor, had an uncanny skill for getting a news story, despite the obstacles.
In pre-computer days, under deadline pressure, it was common practice for a reporter to jot down the facts and call the story into the newsroom where a rewrite staffer would handle the copy. Spieler was fast and accurate. He was a pro at covering all bases in a breaking story.
I was reminded of his unique talents when I read a chapter in the new book, "DiCarlo: Buffalo's First Family of Crime," by Thomas Hunt and Michael A. Tona (Volume 11-From 1938). As you might expect, there are countless references to Stefano Magaddino who is the 1960s was considered the "irrefutable lord paramount" of an organized crime territory that stretched from the Buffalo-Niagara area to Toronto. The Magaddinos were well represented at the infamous 1957 crime convention that drew more than 50 underworld figures to the tiny town of Apalachin, N.Y., about 15 miles from Binghamton.
Magaddino's case, like those of his mob friends, was in and out of the federal court for years, Nothing much came out of the crime convention except the harsh reality that the Mafia was still alive and healthy. In the end, the government 's case was reduced federal gambling charges.
Magaddino's lawyers consistently made excuses for their client. Finally, U.S. Commissioner Maxwell Edmund Maxwell decided that if Magaddino was too ill to appear in the Buffalo federal court, he would simply travel to Dana Drive, Lewiston, to perform his role: to arraign the bed-ridden Magaddino, 77. Since it was impossible to allow all the media to invade the home, the group elected Spieler as the "pool reporter." An excellent choice; he knew all the players (having covered the crime beat for years) and was bound to capture every detail in the makeshift courtroom.
After the arraignment, Spieler stood on the front lawn and filled in the reporters on everything that was said. (He even noted that Magaddino, wearing green pajamas, was propped up in bed and resting on his "queen-sized" mattress. When all the questions were answered, the reporters started scurrying for a phone. The closest one was Mount St. Mary's Hospital, off Military Road, at least five minutes away if they were lucky to find a parking spot.
Spieler would beat them all to the punch. He simply walked over to a telephone pole by the road (he had made specific arrangements with the area Bell Telephone Co. manager) and plugged into a reserved line to dictate his story to the city desk at the Niagara Gazette.
Some days a little planning goes a long way.
BOOK NOTES: A new children's book, "Johnnie's Adventures: Lewiston's Underground Railroad," by Porter Historian Suzanne Simon Diez and illustrations by the Rev.

It won't be painless, but at least it will be quick.
Officials with the Ohio River Bridges Project unveiled their plans on Tuesday for charging tolls to vehicles as they cross the region's bridges across the Ohio River on new bridges.
Instead of utilizing tolling plazas that require employees to collect cash from vehicles, the bridges will utilize tolling gantries, which will rely on electronic transponders and video cameras.
Passenger vehicles belonging to "frequent commuters" will be issued electronic transponders. Frequent commuters will be able to pre-pay into an account from which tolls will be automatically deducted when the vehicle passes through a gantry. Vehicles without the transponders will be billed at the address to which the vehicle is registered, which will be determined by the license plate number.
Tolling rates are currently undetermined, but are expected to be set at a Sept. 5 meeting of the Ohio River Bridges Project Tolling Body. Target rates discussed at Tuesday's meeting call for a $1 charge for frequent commuters, $2 for passenger vehicles without transponders, $5 for box trucks and panel vans, and $10 for semi-trucks and tractor-trailers.

Mrs. Overly, a mother of three, has experience teaching several elementary grades. "I want to encourage each child to look forward to learning each day and also to provide sufficient practice and review activities to help alleviate mom's workload.
