JERRY McBRIDE/Durango Herald
By all accounts, it looks like winter this year in the West, including Southwest Colorado, is going to be warmer and perhaps drier than normal.
Arriving on the heels of a two-year drought, the forecast doesn�t bode well for farmers, skiers and river guides.
In its latest report that covers December through February, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said the absence of El Ni�o conditions has thrown forecasters for a loop.
El Ni�o is the warming of water in the tropical Pacific Ocean that influences the path and the potency of storms in the United States. In the Southwest, the phenomenon brings more precipitation.
When the ocean in the South Pacific cools, La Ni�a conditions trigger the opposite effect. The Four Corners receives less precipitation.
El Ni�o, which usually peaks in December, was starting to form but stopped, Nolan Doesken, director of the Colorado Climate Center at Colorado State University, said Tuesday. It�s in one of its rare neutral positions, he said.
As a result, NOAA maps available online show that there are equal chances that precipitation from December through March in Southwest Colorado will be normal, above-normal or below-normal.
As for temperatures in the region, NOAA maps predict December will have a 40 percent chance that temperatures will be above-average. The chances for above-average temperatures rise to 50 percent from December through February. Looking further out, the outlook for January through March is again a 40 percent chance of above-average temperatures.
Andy Corra at Four Corners River Sports said Wednesday that commercial rafting companies prefer a flow of 500 cubic feet a second.
The Animas River at Durango was flowing at 155 cfs on Wednesday.
�We had a good season this year because of our paddle boards, which can use flat water,� Corra said. �We can go lower than 500 cfs for commercial rafting, but we like a minimum of 500 over a few months to make a good season.�
Farmers and ranchers in La Plata and Archuleta counties face a grim future if the weather outlook proves accurate, Ronnie Posey, executive director of the U.S. Department of Agriculture�s Farm Service Agency in Durango, said Tuesday.
�It will be devastating,� Posey said.
�The production this year doesn�t reflect the gravity of the situation,� Posey said. �There is no soil moisture to draw on next season.�
Posey�s two counties have a combined 50,000 crop acres, mainly in small grains and forage plants.
�If they start slow, they�re more susceptible to wind and pests like grasshoppers or mites,� Posey said. �The potential is extremely discouraging.�
Sven Brunso, marketing director at Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort, where the skiing season will open Friday, said Wednesday the resort has as 15-inch base of natural snow. It can continue its own snowmaking if necessary, he said.
In its mid-November report, NOAA said it�s likely � up to 90 percent so � that 2012 will be the warmest year on record in the Lower 48.
The global temperature is inching upward, too, NOAA said.
This year�s October was the fifth-warmest globally since records started being kept in 1880, NOAA said. The global temperature in the last 36 Octobers has been above the 20th century average.
Weather forecasters and water experts in New Mexico are pessimistic about the chances of a good snowpack this winter, the Associated Press reported Tuesday. The snow level currently is 50 percent of average for the date.
Ranchers are selling livestock for which they have no feed, orchardists are going out of business and agriculture-related operations are closing their doors, the story said.
Closer to home, the snow level in the Animas, San Juan, Dolores and San Miguel basins is 45 percent of average for this time of year.
Doesken heard a report Tuesday from Klaus Wolter, a University of Colorado climatologist.
Wolter, who sits on the State Water Availability Task Force, said the climate outlook is highly uncertain, but he is leaning in the direction of a dry winter, Doesken said.
�There�s no guarantee it�ll be a dry winter, but conditions certainly aren�t encouraging that it will be wet,� Doesken said.
Under any conditions, weather forecasting isn�t flat-out prediction, said Chris Cuoco, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Grand Junction.
Forecasters, including the agency�s Climate Prediction Center, deal with the chances � expressed in percentages � of a weather or a climate pattern occurring, Cuoco said.
�They�re the experts,� Cuoco said. �They do the best they can.�
In an attempt for certainty or simplification, the journalists and the public often overlook or omit this point, Cuoco said.
In his office in Grand Junction, forecasting for the Western Slope and the four easternmost counties in Utah stops at 10 days, Cuoco said.
�Even then, we try to use words like �possibility� or �probability� in our forecasts,� Cuoco said. �If we say �predict,� we talk about percentages of a chance.�
Forecasters may use �expect� in the first eight to 12 hours of an event, Cuoco said. Beyond that, they use �likely,� he said.

I can't believe I nearly forgot my blogiversary.
Three years ago today I started writing about my adventures in family history, hopefully along the way I have amused/entertained/informed/educated you.
Last year wasn't a good year and my blogging output almost dwindled away to nothing, but this year I have got back into my stride again.
I must admit it isn't always easy finding something to write about or rather it isn't always easy to put into words what I want to write about.
I still have big plans for this blog (and others) but a lack of free time prevents me from acting on them at the moment.
So thank you for sticking with me, and here's to another year!

A Georgia woman detained on multiple charges, including drug charges, acted erratically and even tried to eat materials used to smoke crack cocaine when she was pulled over by officers, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
Yvonne Rene Mitchell, 50, of Old Sunbury Road in Hinesville, Ga., was charged with possession of crack cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia, disregarding a stop sign, failure to comply and open container. She was placed in the Aiken County detention center, where she remained on Wednesday afternoon.
The incident happened about 9 p.m. Saturday on Edgefield Avenue in Aiken, according to a report. An officer saw Mitchell disregard a stop sign at Greenville Street and Edgefield Avenue and pulled the vehicle over.
Mitchell immediately jumped out of the car after the officer pulled her over and "was so excited she was hardly able to control herself," according to the report. After she returned to her vehicle and gave the officer her license and insurance card, she continued to watch the officer from the driver's side window.
When asked why she was so excited, Mitchell responded that she "just doesn't like police," according to the report.
An open beer was visible on the passenger's seat, and officers asked Mitchell to exit the car while they searched it, according to the report. When asked about drugs, Mitchell grabbed her jacket and refused to follow officers' commands to put her hands on the trunk.
Mitchell began moving "all over" in an attempt to get away from officers, who were trying to restrain her, according to the report. She was then handcuffed.
During a search of Mitchell, officers found a tissue filled with copper wool, commonly used as a screen for crack pipes, and placed it on the trunk of the car, according to the report. In another pocket was a cigarette case with a brown metal crack pipe in it containing copper wool on one end.
Mitchell reportedly tried to eat the copper wool and was moved to the front of the patrol car, where she remained uncooperative, the report stated.
During the search, Mitchell tried to get away from the officer and was seen grabbing a clear plastic bag from the bottom of her shirt where an item fell from her bra, according to the report. The bag contained a quantity of a yellow and white rock substance believed to be crack cocaine.
The officer put the item on the hood of the patrol car and Mitchell tried to blow the contraband off, according to the report. Some of it was blown off but enough remained to be secured.
Teddy Kulmala covers the crime beat for the Aiken Standard. He is a graduate of Clemson University and hails from Williston.

Byrnes High School quarterback Shuler Bentley was named the 2012-13 Gatorade South Carolina Football Player of the Year on Thursday. Bentley is the second Gatorade South Carolina Football Player of the Year to be chosen from Byrnes.
The 6-foot-1, 197-pound junior quarterback passed for 4,718 yards and 59 touchdowns this season, leading the Rebels (12-2) to the Class AAAA, Division I semifinals. The 2012 Greer Citizen Player of the Year, Bentley broke the state record for single-season touchdown passes, eclipsing the mark of 54 set by two-time Gatorade South Carolina Football Player of the Year Willy Korn. He completed 299 of 462 passes (65 percent) while throwing 13 interceptions.
Bentley has maintained an A average in the classroom and has volunteered locally in association with his church youth group and as an elementary school guest speaker.
Shuler Bentley is an exceptional athlete, said Steve Eoute, head coach at Riverside High. As a football coach, it is a joy to watch someone who has such command and understanding of the game. I was very impressed with his presence in the pocket. He reads defensive coverages well and has a strong arm.
Bentley will begin his senior year next fall. He joins recent Gatorade South Carolina Football Players of the Year Quinshad Davis (2011-12, Gaffney), Justin Worley (2010-11, Northwestern), Marcus Lattimore (2009-10, 2008-09, Byrnes) and Daquan Bowers (2007-08, Bamberg-Ehrhardt) among the states list of former award winners.
The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Bentley as South Carolinas best high school football player.
Now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National Football Player of the Year award announced in December, Bentley joins an elite alumni association of past state award-winners in 12 sports, including Mark Sanchez (2004-05, Mission Viejo HS, Calif.), Wes Welker (1999-00, Heritage Hall HS, Okla.), Terrell Suggs (1999-00, Hamilton HS, Ariz.), Anquan Boldin (1998-99, Pahokee HS, Fla.) and Jerome Bettis (1989-90, Mackenzie HS, Mich.).

Away We Happened is finally here! The very first episode of the project I have been working on with Wong Fu Productions and AT&T is finally up at AwayWeHappened.com. This has been a new adventure for me since this is the first time I've done any real acting (Does playing "Puck" in A Midsummer Night's Dream in high school theater count? lol.) and I am so anxious, nervous, and excited to share it with you!
To give a bit of insight into the concept of the project, here is the Trailer with the Wong Fu guys explaining how the series will work:
You guys watch the video, go to awaywehappened.com and submit your suggestions for what should happen in the next episode, and vote on which plot you like the most! Then our team is going to write, film, edit, and upload the next episode in just a few days. As of this moment, I have no second script in hand and have no idea what will happen next!!!
I know you are waiting to see episode 1 so... *drumroll*
Here it is!
My heart was racing so hard watching this video for the first time since it's as much of a surprise for me as it was for you. Still totally in disbelief and such an honor to be working with such talented and wonderful people.
Now I'm leaving Boulder today for a stop overnight in Vegas on my road trip, then onward to LA! I'll be looking forward to reading all of your comments as I make my way West. :D
Did you enjoy it?? What do you think should happen next?
Let me know down below and I'll see you guys very soon!

As they face the possibility that La Plata County could see shale-oil drilling for the first time in the coming year, the county�s commissioners have a range of opinions about whether a moratorium on the practice would be a necessary and prudent move.
They also plan to take up the issue at their next official planning meeting in two weeks.
Commissioner Bobby Lieb said he is against imposing a moratorium in reaction to the drilling of two exploratory shale-oil wells by Houston-based Swift Energy Co.
�(A moratorium) seems overkill for that level of development,� Lieb said.
Commissioners first discussed the concept of moratoriums on shale-oil drilling last week. The discussion was in reaction to Swift�s filing of applications for two drilling and spacing units on Fort Lewis Mesa. The target, company representatives said, is oil they believe is locked away in the Mancos Shale formation about 2,500 feet below the surface.
Lieb said if Swift�s wells end up being productive and energy companies start pushing to open up an entire field for development, then he would consider a moratorium to assess and possibly change the county�s regulations if its land-use code was determined to be inadequate.
Convincing evidence supporting the imposition of a moratorium at this point seems to be lacking, Commissioner Julie Westendorff said.
�There�s not much I can see that would make me say �this is a good time for a moratorium,�� Westendorff said. �What we are trying to accomplish is unclear to me.�
She also doubted the legal justifications for imposing a moratorium. She said she wouldn�t make a final decision on the concept until she had time to talk with her fellow commissioners.
Commissioner Gwen Lachelt, former director of Earthworks Oil & Gas Accountability Project, said she still is considering whether the county�s code adequately addresses shale development and whether a moratorium would be appropriate at this stage.
Most of the county�s natural-gas and oil development regulations were crafted to regulate coal-bed methane wells, which make up the majority of the 3,347 wells in the county.
Shale-oil wells extend much farther laterally and are fracked multiple times, requiring much more water than coal-bed methane wells. They also require larger well pads and more truck trips to haul water and chemicals.
�I�m trying to figure out how far off we are and if we need to substantially update our oil and gas regulations or if we are pretty far along anyway,� Lachelt said. �I feel like we need to be ahead of the game as much as possible.�
Lachelt said she has been doing her own research on the topic and remains undecided. She also is considering whether the county should implement a moratorium now or wait to see if Swift�s exploratory wells are productive, then take a timeout to assess the county�s regulations.
�You don�t want to jump the gun,� she said.

I have been considering getting a netbook for quite a while now, and finally at the end of this month I will have the money to do so. Now is the moment I have been dreading, decision time.
I think it will be a great asset, it will be a useful tool for my family history research (and blogging) but the problem is that it is not essential for what I do. Sure it will probably make my life easier, but do I really need it?
There are lots of things I could use it for, the main one is probably for note taking at archives or libraries, but several other uses have come to mind as I wrestle with whether to buy or not.
- I would like to use it as a temporary digital photo album. In connection with my external hard drive I could use it to share my digital photos, and especially my family history photos, where I can also use it to capture memories and additional information.
- I love the idea of being able to blog and check email while I am away from home, perhaps even when I am out walking.
- I would love to have access to the internet when I am out and about, so I can check train times, ending eBay auctions etc.
- I want to have something else to do on the bus going to and from work. Just think how much work I could get done in that half hour each way.
- With a small scanner I can take it with me when visiting family members as a portable scanning unit for photos and documents.
- Of course I would have my family history loaded on there so I can show everyone and anyone my family tree at the drop of a hat.
But still at the back of my mind is the nagging fact that I don't actually need it, it is more of a convenience rather than a necessity.
So if you have a netbook please let me know in the comments what you use it for? What interesting ways have you found to use it in your research? I need all the help I can get to convince myself that I should have one.

I mentioned the other day that I have a particular fondness for my 4x great-grandfather Henry GASSON because he was the one that brought my particular GASSON line over the border from Surrey into Sussex.
It happened some time around 1830 and as migrations go it wasn't particularly spectacular, being only about 15 miles or so in distance but even so it was quite a big jump, not just to the neighbouring parish. It wasn't as if it was only Henry and his family that made the move, there seem to have been several other GASSON families that migrated southwards over the border about the same time, and in the big scheme of things it is just part of the gradual movement of my GASSON line westwards from Kent into Surrey and then southwards into Sussex.
Whilst I am waiting for the two death certificates I ordered to turn up I will take a closer look at this particular migration and try to answer a few questions:
- Exactly when did Henry and family move to Sussex?
- Was their move straight from Horley, Surrey to Nuthurst, Sussex or was there somewhere in between?
- How many other GASSON families moved from Surrey to Sussex around that time?
- And what were their relationships to Henry GASSON?
- Did any other families that moved from Horley to Nuthurst around that time?
- Were there any related GASSON families already living in the Nuthurst area?
- Can I identify any particular reason for this relocation?
My main resources for this will be parish registers and census returns, but there may also be some rate books that will help me narrow down some details. The good news is that I work in Horley and travel back home through Horsham, so can make use of the libraries in both of tho se places, although I will probably still need to visit the West Sussex Record Office and the Surrey History Centre to dig a little deeper.
Of course it goes without saying that if the distance is only 15 miles or so then it would make for a good days walk. I may not be able to follow exactly in their footsteps with any certainty, but by using some old maps I could probably find a route that would have been available to them at the time.

Melo scores 62 against the Bobcats. Lebron 61 and Paul George scores 2 with 5 Tos and -38. He is really regressing to the mean.
San Antonio with an impressive win over Heat.
Glad to see teams beating the Pacers on their home court.
Durant statpads meaningless triple double in a loss to the Lakers.
^ Some scrub on the worst team in the league drops 40+ on OKC, but NBA.com's headline is all about the stick-insect's triple-double.
Gonna be hard to overcome the Thunder when they have the league's new golden boy.
Wow Lakers dropped OKC, unbelievable
That is pretty crazy, particularly after how poor they were against us.
Lol Rockets.
Damn was hoping for a laker win....
Did anyone see that ridiculous dunk by Gerald Green last night??? WOW!
Toronto's beating OKC by 1 with about 2 minutes left. Good opportunity for us to make up ground in the standings.
westbrook injured his knee again tonight. too bad for him and his team.
did anyone else see drew gooden shrug after making a 3 against cousins. Cousins owned his life after.
WOW, OKC scored 9pt in a row in the last 40 seconds of OT to beat Toronto by 1. Thanks a lot Raptors. Way to choke!
why are the flakers winning? lol.
What in the world....The NY Knicks are now 8 in the Least??? What a conference. Mavs, Memphis, Suns, and why not for fun, Warriors may not make the playoffs at all with over 46 wins!
Memphis, GS, and Suns all lose. Good night for Dallas, lets give them a bad night tonight
That Memphis Suns game looked like a really good one. Pity the Suns didn't win.
Teague is ballin right now.
Wow now that's what I call homecourt
Blazers Rockets looks like a good game to watch but I have to go to bed (3am here)
You have no idea what you missed Silasie. I just about yelled myself hoarse because of that game.
that was one hell of a game you missed. no highlight can come close to how exciting it was the whole time
I just watched the highlights, when I wrote that post I had no idea it would be that exciting. How many players fouled out?
I think it was RoLo, then LMA, then Coward, then Beverly.
The Hawks are looking scary. Didn't think I'd be saying that any time soon haha. They might actually upset the Pacers.
Pacers took a page from our book.
Ugh! Westbrook!
Wow, OKC and Pacers lose..............interesting!
http://www.lakersnation.com/stayswag-la ... ung-in-la/
Lakers copying the Dwight Howard campaign, this time for nick young. Lol this is a joke.
Man I really wish we had Korver on our team. He is a beast.
^^Yep he'd be terrific in the Clipper system, just like JJ.
VINCE CARTER! He's more like 70% man/ 30% amazing nowadays, but he sure chose a great time be amazing today. What a shot.
Looking like a date with Memphis if we make it past GS.
I can't remember the last time Durant has looked this bad. He looks lost out there. Have to give Tony Allen credit. Too bad for Memphis, we have more than just two scoring options, like the Thunder. Good luck shutting down Blake, CP3, Redick, Crawford, Collison, and DJ.
Imagine if we had cp3, JJ and korver starting with Blake and DJ. We would set all time records in scoring.
Loved that shot! Beat the spurs!!!
I am even more ticked off about not getting Ariza. He is having his best season ever and is shooting over 40% from 3. He is the perfect 3 and D player we need. Way better than Dudley and Barnes. So sad that Sterling f***ed that up too and cancelled the Butler for Ariza trade.
Wow, I think Shawn Marion may have injured himself trying to help Monta Ellis.
nope, nevermind I was wrong.
Wow, this Memphis/OKC series is as close as it gets.
Indiana could be about to go out!
did anyone catch the Spurs playing with 6 players on the court with 1.3 second left and the chance to win the game? Imagine what would happen if they won the game, crazy
Lillard is a beast
Looks like the Nets are going to lose game1.
I know I am really late to the party, but everyone in Cleveland needs to fill out one of these...
OKC have started well against Denver! Considering that the 2 stars are out.
4th qtr and they're still up by 20.
How come nobody on this forum comments on non-Clips games? Surely some of you lot watch them.
The Cavs look like...um...the Cavs.
Kevin Love never played good defense with the Timberwolves so why are people shocked that he still doesn't with the cavs.
I see Westbrook is back in action. I wonder if they can get into the PO's?

Amethyst – The Master Healer
Amethyst crystal is a variety of quartz, well known through the ages as a healing stone. It comes in the most beautiful shades of purple with colour ranging from a soft, pinkish lavender to the darkest and richest of violets and purple, reminiscent of plump ripe heady grapes and sparkling burgundy wine. If you look carefully some amethyst can also contain surprise flashes of red and blue.
Some of the earliest discoveries of amethyst were excavated from the ancient Egyptian tomb of King Djer, who reigned in the 1st Dynasty, approximately 3000 B.C.E. The ancient Egyptians knew amethyst as Hemag and used it to guard against guilty and fearful feelings. Egyptian soldiers wore amethyst in battle in order to retain their courage.
The modern name comes from the Greek "amethóstos", which means, "not to be drunk". In Greek mythology, Dionysus, the god of wine, was pursuing a maiden named Amethystos, who refused his affections. Amethystos prayed to the gods to remain chaste, a prayer which the goddess Artemis answered, transforming her into a white stone. Humbled by Amethystos's desire to remain chaste, Dionysus poured wine over the stone as an offering. This wine dyed the crystal purple.
The wealthy ancient Greeks and Romans drank from goblets of amethyst, as they believed it guarded against drunkenness. They thought they could drink as much as they liked without suffering from any ill effects! Such goblets gave them added protection against potential assassins, as amethyst was thought to lose its brightness in the presence of poison.
Known as the "Stone of Spirit" or the "Stone of Integrity," Amethyst has long been associated with purity and piety. It is the stone of the Buddha and in Tibet it is popularly used in the making of prayer beads used in the practice of meditation. In Christian traditions Amethyst is also known as the Bishop's Stone and is still part of the official garb worn by Catholic Bishops.
Purple has long been considered a royal color, so it is no surprise that amethysts are featured in the British Crown Jewels. They were a favorite stone of Catherine the Great. Beads of amethyst have also been found in Anglo-Saxon graves in England.
In modern times, amethyst is associated with the astrological sign of Aquarius and with the planet Jupiter. Its element is air, and it is considered to be the stone of faithful lovers.
Amethyst is a Quartz crystal, composed of silicon dioxide with traces of ferric iron. The colouring is due to the presence of colour centres that are created where silicon ions in the crystal lattice of the quartz have been substituted by ions of iron.
The crystal is formed in silica-rich liquids deposited in gas cavities (geodes) in lava. It occurs in crystalline masses. When conditions permit, it forms hexagonal crystals that are usually grown from a base. These crystals are most often not well developed, and so are generally found as clusters of crystal points. Although most commonly found in geodes, Amethyst is sometimes found as a stalactite.
Amethyst is considered to be a master healing stone. Extremely calming, yet deep, this most dynamic and persuasive crystal can bring a wonderful sense of serenity and peace. It clears intoxication in the sense that it soothes and clears the mind, allowing one to move out of the heavy and denser "intoxicating" earthbound realm into the higher frequencies of Spirit.
Why not try it out? After a stress-filled day or when you are feeling muddled or low energy, experiment by taking an amethyst in your receptive hand. This is your left hand if you are right handed or your right if you are left handed. Breathe deeply and allow the peaceful vibrations of the stone to soothe you.
Amethyst is said to aid in the development of pyschic awareness and is often used during meditation to help open and activate the crown chakra. Some people also recommend sleeping with amethyst under your pillow to aid restful sleep and pleasant dreams.

Family members of Dylan Redwine, the 13-year-old boy who disappeared in November north of Vallecito Reservoir, plan to hold a rally Saturday in front of his father�s house.
The rally is intended to remind the public that Dylan remains missing and to encourage his father, Mark Redwine, to be more communicative with family members, said his ex-wife, Elaine Redwine.
The rally is planned for 10 a.m. Saturday in the 2300 block of County Road 500.
�We�re rallying to bring more awareness to Dylan and his story and get his face out there, and try to encourage Dylan�s dad to be more a part of the search efforts,� she said.
In a phone interview Wednesday, Mark Redwine said the rally is an attempt by some to �play judge and jury.�
�I firmly believe that this is just a misguided attempt to draw attention to me when the reality of the fact is, you know, we don�t know where Dylan is at,� he said. �I have no idea where Dylan is at. I have no involvement with where Dylan is at.�
Mark Redwine said he won�t be at his house Saturday morning during the rally. When asked what he will be doing instead, he said he�ll be doing �anything but being around here.�
�If this is what they feel like they need to do to keep this in the media�s attention and keep the search for Dylan alive, I don�t think I have the ability to stop them, nor do I really want to try,� he said.
Dylan was reported missing by his father Nov. 19, less than a day after arriving in La Plata County for a court-ordered visitation during the Thanksgiving holiday.
Text messages suggest Dylan was less than enthusiastic about being ordered to spend time with his father. He texted his mother Nov. 18 to notify her that he arrived at the Durango-La Plata County Airport. The text ended with an emoticon that is interpreted as a scowl.
Text messages also reveal he planned to meet a friend early Nov. 19. The meeting never occurred.
The community organized several searches along Vallecito Reservoir and the mountains surrounding the resort village to no avail. Law enforcement sent divers into the reservoir and have searched other reservoirs in the region.
The La Plata County Sheriff�s Office continues to investigate the case, said spokesman Dan Bender.
�We�re still getting tips,� he said. �No matter how remote or far-fetched those tips might seem, we�re obligated to follow up on them.�
Even psychics from across the country have called in tips, which is common in an emotional and highly publicized case such as this one, Bender said. The Sheriff�s Office follows up on those like every other tip, he said.
A cash reward for information that solves Dylan�s disappearance had grown to $50,450 as of Tuesday.
The Sheriff�s Office in no way is involved in organizing the rally outside the father�s house, Bender said.
�We�re not encouraging people to take part. We�re not discouraging people from it,� he said. �We just want it clear that this protest is not in any way connected with the Sheriff�s Office.�
Elaine Redwine said Mark Redwine has been �evasive,� and he has shut down communication with her. She has asked him several times to sit down and talk to her, she said, but he hasn�t made it a priority. Instead, he has threatened to file harassment charges against her and her son, Cory, for texting him repeatedly about the day Dylan went missing.
�He�s a big part of Dylan missing, and I just feel he should be more active,� Elaine Redwine said.
Teresa Martinez, a friend of Mark Redwine, said Cory and Elaine Redwine have sent �ugly� and �threatening� messages to Mark Redwine, asking him, �Where is Dylan, you piece of (explicative).�
Martinez spent 2� weeks with Mark Redwine during the Christmas holiday.
She said the rally seems negative.
�What they�re about to do is very, very disrespectful to Dylan,� she said. �They seem to be gathering as a lynch mob.�
Mark Redwine said the Vallecito community has been supportive, even shoveling his driveway as a show of support.
He has tried to be involved with activities aimed at finding his son, he said, but organizers have shunned his participation.
�I�m damned if I do and damned if I don�t,� he said. �Emotions are running very high right now, with all of this.�

A week to 10 days before planting, add 2 to 4 inches of aged manure or compost and work into the planting site to improve fertility and increase water retention and drainage. If soil composition is weak, a layer of topsoil should be considered as well. No matter if your soil is sand or clay, it can be improved by adding the same thing: organic matter. The more, the better; work deep into the soil. Prepare beds to an 18 inch deep for perennials. This will seem like a tremendous amount of work now, but will greatly pay off later. Besides, this is not something that is easily done later, once plants have been established. How-to : Preparing Containers Containers are excellent when used as an ornamental feature, a planting option when there is little or no soil to plant in, or for plants that require a soil type not found in the garden or when soil drainage in the garden is inferior. If growing more than one plant in a container, make sure that all have similar cultural requirements. Choose a container that is deep and large enough to allow root development and growth as well as proportional balance between the fully developed plant and the container. Plant large containers in the place you intend them to stay. All containers should have drainage holes. A mesh screen, broken clay pot pieces(crock) or a paper coffee filter placed over the hole will keep soil from washing out. The potting soil you select should be an appropriate mix for the plants you have chosen. Quality soils (or soil-less medias) absorb moisture readily and evenly when wet. If water runs off soil upon initial wetting, this is an indicator that your soil may not be as good as you think.
Prior to filling a container with soil, wet potting soil in the bag or place in a tub or wheelbarrow so that it is evenly moist. Fill container about halfway full or to a level that will allow plants, when planted, to be just below the rim of the pot. Rootballs should be level with soil line when project is complete. Water well. How-to : Planting Perennials Determine appropriate perennials for your garden by considering sun and shade through the day, exposure, water requirements, climate, soil makeup, seasonal color desired, and position of other garden plants and trees.
The best times to plant are spring and fall, when soil is workable and out of danger of frost. Fall plantings have the advantage that roots can develop and not have to compete with developing top growth as in the spring. Spring is more desirable for perennials that dislike wet conditions or for colder areas, allowing full establishment before first winter. Planting in summer or winter is not advisable for most plants, unless planting a more established sized plant.
To plant container-grown plants: Prepare planting holes with appropriate depth and space between. Water the plant thoroughly and let the excess water drain before carefully removing from the container. Carefully loosen the root ball and place the plant in the hole, working soil around the roots as you fill. If the plant is extremely root bound, separate roots with fingers. A few slits made with a pocket knife are okay, but should be kept to a minimum. Continue filling in soil and water thoroughly, protecting from direct sun until stable.
To plant bare-root plants: Plant as soon as possible after purchase. Prepare suitable planting holes, spread roots and work soil among roots as you fill in. Water well and protect from direct sun until stable.
To plant seedlings: A number of perennials produce self-sown seedlings that can be transplanted. You may also start your own seedling bed for transplanting. Prepare suitable planting holes, spacing appropriately for plant development. Gently lift the seedling and as much surrounding soil as possible with your garden trowel, and replant it immediately, firming soil with fingertips and water well. Shade from direct sun and water regularly until stable.
Prevention and Control: keep weeds down and use screening on windows to
keep them out. Remove or discard infested plants, keep them away from
non-infested plants. Trap with yellow sticky cards or take advantage of
natural enemies such as predatory mites. Sometimes a good steady shower of
water will wash them off the plant. Consult your local garden center professional or county Cooperative extension office for legal chemical recommendations. Pest : Spider Mites Spider mites are small, 8 legged, spider-like creatures which thrive in
hot, dry conditions (like heated houses). Spider mites feed with piercing
mouth parts, which cause plants to appear yellow and stippled. Leaf drop and plant death can occur with heavy infestations. Spider mites can multiply
quickly, as a female can lay up to 200 eggs in a life span of 30 days. They
also produce a web which can cover infested leaves and flowers.
Prevention and Control: Keep weeds down and remove infested plants. Dry
air seems to worsen the problem, so make sure plants are regularly watered,
especially those preferring high humidity such as tropicals, citrus, or tomatoes. Always check new plants prior to bringing them home from the garden center or nursery. Take advantage of natural enemies such as ladybug larvae. If a miticide is recommended by your local garden center professional or county Cooperative Extension office, read and follow all label directions. Concentrate your efforts on the undersides of the leaves as that is where spider mites generally live. Pest : Slugs and Snails Slugs and snails favor moist climates and are mollusks, not insects.
They can be voracious feeders, eating just about anything that is not woody or
highly scented. They may eat holes in leaves, strip entire stems, or completely
devour seedlings and tender transplants, leaving behind tell-tale silvery, slimy trails.
Prevention and control: Keep your garden as clean as possible,
eliminating hiding places such as leaf debris, over-turned pots, and tarps.
Groundcover in shady places and heavy mulches provide protection from the
elements and can be favorite hiding places. In the spring, patrol for and
destroy eggs (clusters of small translucent spheres) and adults during dusk
and dawn. Set out beer traps from late spring through fall.
Many chemical controls are available on the market, but can
be poisonous and deadly for children and pets; take care when using them - always read the label first! Pest : Aphids Aphids are small, soft-bodied, slow-moving insects that suck fluids from plants. Aphids come in many colors, ranging from green to brown to black, and they may have wings. They attack a wide range of plant species causing stunting, deformed leaves and buds. They can transmit harmful plant viruses with their piercing/sucking mouthparts. Aphids, generally, are merely a nuisance, since it takes many of them to cause serious plant damage. However aphids do produce a sweet substance called honeydew (coveted by ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface growth called sooty mold.
Aphids can increase quickly in numbers and each female can produce up to 250 live nymphs in the course of a month without mating. Aphids often appear when the environment changes - spring & fall. They're often massed at the tips of branches feeding on succulent tissue. Aphids are attracted to the color yellow and will often hitchhike on yellow clothing.
Prevention and Control: Keep weeds to an absolute minimum, especially around desirable plants. On edibles, wash off infected area of plant. Lady bugs and lacewings will feed on aphids in the garden. There are various products - organic and inorganic - that can be used to control aphids. Seek the recommendation of a professional and follow all label procedures to a tee. Fungi : Rusts Most rusts are host specific and overwinter on leaves, stems and spent flower debris. Rust often appears as small, bright orange, yellow, or brown pustules on the underside of leaves. If touched, it will leave a colored spot of spores on the finger. Caused by fungi and spread by splashing water or rain, rust is worse when weather is moist.
Prevention and Control: Plant resistant varieties and provide maximum air circulation. Clean up all debris, especially around plants that have had a problem. Do not water from overhead and water only during the day so that plants will have enough time to dry before night. Apply a fungicide labeled for rust on your plant.
Although many people believe that cooler temperatures are responsible for the color change, the weather has nothing to do with it at all. As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, a chemical clock inside the trees starts up, releasing a hormone which restricts the flow of sap to each leaf. As fall progresses, the sap flow slows and chlorophyll, the chemical that gives the leaves their green color in the spring and summer, disappears. The residual sap becomes more concentrated as it dries, creating the colors of fall. Glossary : Low Maintenance Low maintenance does not mean no maintenance. It does mean that once a plant is established, very little needs to be done in the way of water, fertilizing, pruning, or treatment in order for the plant to remain healthy and attractive. A well-designed garden, which takes your lifestyle into consideration, can greatly reduce maintenance. Glossary : Old Fashioned or Heritage Plant Old Fashioned or Heritage Plant is any plant that is reminiscent of early times or tied to a particular region. Often found in the yards of grandmothers or abandoned home sites. Glossary : Drought Tolerant Very few plants, except for those naturally found in desert situations, can tolerate arid soils, but there are plants that seem to be more drought tolerant than others. Plants that are drought tolerant still require moisture, so don't think that they can go for extended period without any water. Drought tolerant plants are often deep rooted, have waxy or thick leaves that conserve water, or leaf structures that close to minimize transpiration. All plants in droughty situations benefit from an occasional deep watering and a 2-3 inch thick layer of mulch. Drought tolerant plants are the backbone of xeriphytic landscaping.

One of the key pieces of information missing from the limited information available about the F TROWER recorded on the Brighton War Memorial was how old he was when he died.
It was fairly obvious that in the absence of helpful genealogical information (other than the name and address of his brother) that finding out when he was born was going to be especially crucial if I was going to place him in my family tree.
The most obvious way of finding this out was to order a copy of his death certificate. Yes, you can get death certificates for men who died during the First World War, they are not that different from a normal death certificate and can be ordered from the GRO website in a similar manner and for the same cost.
They don't tell you a great deal more than what is recorded on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website and in Soldiers Died in the Great War, but in my case Frank's age was missing from both of these sources.
For Frank the following information was recorded, and as you can see there wasn't really any new information other than his age:
Rgtl. or Army number: G/15980
Rank: Pte.
Name in Full (Surname First): TROWER Frank (13th Bn.)
Age: 36
Country of Birth: England
Date of Death: 19:6:1917
Place of Death: France
Cause of Death: Killed in action
So Frank was 36 years old when he died on the 19th June 1917, which in theory means that he was born between the 20th June 1880 (if he died on the day before his 37th birthday) and the 19th June 1881 (if he died on his 36th birthday) if my maths is correct. This fits quite nicely with the census information that I have which starts with a one year old Frank in 1881.
Unfortunately this doesn't fits quite so well with the most likely Frank TROWER in the GRO Birth Indexes. The most promising match is a birth registered in Steyning Registration District (which included the parish of Hove) in Q4 1879. The next registration in the index is also in Steyning Registration District, but in Q2 1883 which is perhaps a little too late.
So although I have a good match with the census information, I don't have a good match for his birth registration. I am not sure whether this is really a problem or not, we have to accept that things don't always tie-up quite as neatly as we would like sometimes.

Ehh...why not? We have an open spot and there are no good players left to sign. I wouldn't even be mad if we didn't fill our final roster spot.
Bobby Brown played with CP3 and clippers for a short time. he's killing it in China right now. the guy scored 74 points in December, IIRC.
I still say we need one more Reliable Big, But I get why Doc wants all these SF/SG who can possibly play PF. but Bobby Brown, Talk about coming out of left field.
Hopefully this isn't related to JJ. But, if it is, that doesn't mean JJ is done it can just mean they are preparing for the worst.
Two ways I see this maybe happening. J.J. Redick is done and we are stacking on insurance guys or Doc wants to bring him in work him out and prepare him for next season with a likely Collison opt out.
If JJ is done he is a good choice.
Yeah, if we sign another guard right now, I expect an announcement shortly afterwards that JJ is having season-ending surgery. I hope I'm wrong.
Hats off to DC, though. He has been the ultimate utility player... backup point, starting point, backup SG, starting SG. We need to re-sign him if he opts out.
When he took less money "to win", I don't think even he thought that he might be taking the final shot in a playoff game... LITERALLY, to win. That's now a possible scenario.
Strength through adversity!
Totally agree about DC, he's been the unsung hero of our season.
Next season if he's looking for more money I would be fine with giving him a nice little pay raise to stay on our squad.
I have not seen his game is he a good addition? maybe ill check him in youtube.
can we sign him? you must be signed by march 1 to play in the playoffs.
A FA player who has not played in the NBA in the current season is available for the PO's until the last game of the year.
It's the Clipper "Perogative" to sign him! He would probably be a decent "new edition" to the team. LOL
I think the rule is that you have to be bought out by that date. Being signed by a new team is different.
Worth a shot. Can't hurt to bring this guy as a 15th man. Very low risk, decent reward scenario.
That's only if he's played for another NBA team this season.
Well played. I would love to have Bobby back on the team. He is a Cal State Fullerton alum (like me), so I am partial to having a Titan on this squad.
Bobby Brown still playing in China?
Apparently so he is tearing it up over there.
Has anyone else have any idea of what Lamar Odom is doing over in Spain?

Take it with a grain of salt but thought I'd post it anyway.
Chris Paul's preference is to stay with the Clippers but he wants them to hire an African-American coach, according to multiple league sources. The Clips' best bet for keeping Paul with a long-term deal might be to hire Nate McMillan, who can have the Pistons job and any number of bad-to-so-so jobs that are out there, as the replacement for Vinny Del Negro, whose current contract is expiring and is not getting a new deal.
http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baske ... z2TyCLa3sC
9 day old report, zero sources. People have been spreading this crap all day on Twitter.
Well that sounds wrong,,,who are league sources (rhetorical question).
Is Jerry Sloan black enough?
Jerry Sloan + jerry-curl = maybe
Jerry Sloan + jerry-curl = maybe
Hahahaha I just died picturing Sloan with a Jerry Curl. Somebody needs to photoshop that right now.
Oh my god, let the ridiculous rumors start
i hope these are just ridiculous rumors.
Hahahaha I just died picturing Sloan with a Jerry Curl. Somebody needs to photoshop that right now.
CP3 is such a racist. .
Its kind of a joke that you can basically say whatever you want with no sources but thats the media for you nowadays.
This rumour is just too ridiculous to be true
Haha beautiful. Repped
Jerry del negro
Lol this is comical and of course it comes from NY
Sounds ridiculous- I can't imagine Chris Paul making such a request.
I wonder what Blake wants? Bet he's torn up.
He wants 3 coaches. A Black one, a White one and a Ginger.
^ Hahahaa
i heard he only wants black team mates a black owner and a asian GM for accounting purposes. He may also want white waterboys. He also may think about getting all gold teeth because he doesn't like them being white.
But I heard he loves mayonaise. I'm confused.
rumor or not, it wouldnt surprise me. smh
Has anyone ever seen the old Minstrel Shows? I vote for Jerry Sloane in blackface. I would post a picture but--- (It's only semi-politically incorrect and I'm African American)
He really wants his son.
what has CP become?
Watch out, some people will call you out by name for photoshopping Cp3.
By the way, FREAKING HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
someone needs to have the balls to call out mr. untouchable.
I think he doesn't like BG since he is half white. Uh oh.
Yes call him out for a dumb rumor.
Wait, this is actually GREAT news. Guess which teams have white coaches? HOU & DAL. Too bad this is complete bullshit.
Yes call him out for a dumb rumor.
Yeah such a dumb rumor.
Lol good one. Agree, this is a complete bs rumor.
the call out is in reference to the team bowing down to his every last request - sign this player, get this coach, let him decide our future, etc. has nothing to do with this latest rumor - although, it wouldnt surprise me if its in fact true.
too much power for a player. let alone a guy that hasnt gotten past the 2nd round...ever.
"If you liked it, then you shoulda put a ring on it" - Chris "Beyonce" Paul to Vinny
That's the greatest thing I've read in a while
Not true (these rumors)
Wow people can be real immature. smh rumors
too much power for a player. let alone a guy that hasnt gotten past the 2nd round...ever.
Coincidentally, this is also a franchise that hasn't gotten past the 2nd round. The Braves/Clippers just happen to be 15 years older than Chris Paul.
Are you sure it's not CP3's son saying, "I want the black one"?
Maybe he really wanted a black couch,,,,, nice leather thing?
haha black coach purse
Would smash!!
Whether the rumor is true or not, and I seriously doubt it is, the odds of the next coach being African American are pretty good. If Byron Scott, Nate McMillan, Brian Shaw, Alvin Gentry and Lionel Hollins are among the top candidates, along with Malone and Budenholzer. That's 5 of the supposed top 7.
^^Yeah, and when it does happen the same people would go "I told you so- CP3 mandated a black coach, so he got one- what a diva!" Proof that CP3 is the guy in charge- should I have his permission on what Clipper gear what to buy? WTF?
Now that I think about it, every player on the Clippers is black too. Is that CP3's doing too?
Not true. Blake is only half black from the waist up. Maybe that's the reason they didn't always get along.
^ it wont be next season, if the appropriate moves are made, such as bringing a korver or reddick into the fold (both white players), some draft boards have the clippers drafting dario saric with the 25th pick. so again, if this is just a rumor, good. if not, there may be problems.
Last pure white guys that played for us: Kaman, Novak, Dickau
^ would give anything to have the first two back. lol. we'd kill two birds with one stone. hahaha. kaman>Dj and novak would be a great piece off the bench.

The singer Billy Ray Cyrus was supposed to be interviewed on television last week but cancelled. And who can blame him?
His daughter, Miley, embarrassed herself and her family on worldwide TV. Her narcissism on full display, the 20-year-old pop singer-actress simulated sexual activity with an older male singer while singing some kind of suggestive song. With millions of young people watching, the scene was as degrading as it was unnecessary.
As her father, Mr. Cyrus should be mortified by Miley's behavior. But he's made no direct comment about it.
Generally speaking, there is an epidemic of bad parenting going on in America. The three teenaged boys accused of murdering a young Australian man in Oklahoma were constantly in trouble, according to local authorities. After being apprehended, there were cries that they are "good kids." Bull. The evidence is that they are thugs. A background check on their parents finds they are largely irresponsible and apathetic. One mother is even in prison. In Spokane, Wash., two 16-year-old boys have been charged with beating a World War II veteran to death. The father of one of the accused killers told the press he doesn't understand how this could have happened. Then he admits he hadn't talked with the boy in weeks and that his grandmother was essentially raising him.
There is no question that American society is becoming increasingly callous and coarse, and part of the reason is that derelict moms and dads refuse to set boundaries for their children. Many parents are distracted, simply caring more about themselves than their children – and the kids know it.
Some liberals want the government to replace bad parents by pouring billions of dollars into social programs that often wind up being baby-sitting services. This is a fool's errand. The government cannot overcome bad parenting. What our leaders can do is publicly condemn irresponsible parental behavior in vivid terms.
When was the last time you heard a powerful politician do that? The truth is the powers-that-be are mostly afraid to mention the collapse of the traditional family because the secular-progressives will attack any judgmental behavior by a politician. Unless a public person is a saint, he or she has no right to cast aspersions on any parental situation, according to the secular left. Sociologists well understand that chaos at home causes violent behavior, educational failure and social alienation among children. Yet, many of us in America stay far, far away from this topic.
That in itself is a national scandal. Bad parenting is gravely harming this nation. Let's get that out in the open. And the campaign should begin with the president of the United States.
Bill O'Reilly is host of the Fox News show "The O'Reilly Factor" and is an author and columnist.
