New arrests in the Fire Cells Conspiracy case
From Klinamen (March 16, 2011):
On the morning of Monday, March 14, an operation coordinated between the Special Violent Crime Response Division (DAEEB) and the Special Antiterrorist Unit (EKAM) raided and searched two homes—one in Nea Ionia on the outskirts of Volos, and one in the northern Athens neighborhood of Cholargos. Five people were arrested in Nea Ionia, three of whom had warrants out for their arrest on charges of belonging to the Fire Cells Conspiracy: 25-year-old Giorgos Nikolopoulos (in hiding since October 2009, he is the brother of Michalis Nikolopoulos, who was arrested on January 19, 2011 and later admitted to being a member of the Fire Cells Conspiracy), 24-year-old Damiano Bolano (in hiding since October 2009, he is the only non-Greek who has been arrested on charges related to the Fire Cells Conspiracy, and the right-wing press is been making a fuss over his Albanian origins), and 32-year-old Christos Tsakalos (in hiding since early November 2010, one week after his brother Gerasimos Tsakalos was arrested alongside Panayiotis Argyrou on charges of mailing package-bombs). All three are being charged with "membership in a terrorist organization," "supply, manufacture, and possession of explosive material and explosive devices in a conspiracy to cause public danger to third-party entities and a danger to people," and "detonation, after using explosive material, which could have caused public danger to third-party entities and a danger to people." Some time ago, all three were already being singled out as "ringleaders of the Fire Cells Conspiracy."
The other two people arrested in Nea Ionia were 31-year-old Olga Economidou and 29-year-old Giorgos Polydoras. According to police sources, in the Nea Ionia apartment they found three AK-47s, seven handguns, one .38 caliber revolver, 5000 bullets, two .6 kg sticks of TNT, several police uniforms, wigs, walkie-talkies, seven fake ID cards, two pairs of fake license plates, four miniature cameras, a laminating machine, adhesive, and other materials for forging documents. On one of the computers they supposedly found drafts and final versions of communiqués and texts (the "International Call," etc.), as well as the logo used recently by the Fire Cells Conspiracy. Additionally, a car with fake plates was found quite close to the apartment. The car had been stolen two nights prior. On Monday afternoon, the usual police raids on the homes of the parents of the arrestees (six homes raided, nothing found) were accompanied by the search of a Kallithea apartment rented one month ago by Christos Tsakalos using a fake ID. There, pigs seized 35 suitcases full of clothing and tools, two fake ID cards, three laptops, a handgun, five miniature cameras, and another laminating machine.
Meanwhile, in Cholargos the pigs arrested two people, one of whom was released shortly thereafter due to a lack of evidence. The other arrestee was 26-year-old Constantinos Papadopoulos.
Naturally, the press are celebrating with headlines like: "Cells Leaders Caught," "Cells Triad in Handcuffs," "They Were Planning Bombings and Robberies," etc. Based on the little information offered by the Police (who for the moment are "continuing the investigation" and not jumping to pompous conclusions), the press are making up their own script, pointing out other people, and insinuating connections with other groups like the Revolutionary Sect and the Revolutionary Brigade (who carried out 12 bombings between 2006 and 2008). The six arrestees also seem to be in danger of being charged with several bank robberies carried out in recent years by people wearing police uniforms. Ballistic analysis has confirmed that all the weapons found are "clean," meaning that they haven't been used in any attack carried out in recent years.
At noon on Tuesday, all six arrestees were brought before the prosecutor. They were transferred from Police Headquarters to the Athens Supreme Court, where there was a small demonstration of about 20 family members and people showing solidarity. Despite the suffocating police presence, slogans were shouted when the Antiterrorist Unit convoy arrived and entered the building's garage. Comrades in Nea Ionia also held a spontaneous demonstration on Monday that attracted about 50 people to the same neighborhood where our comrades were arrested.
Lawyers condemned the mistreatment (beatings, cigarrette burns) experienced by the arrestees on the 12th floor of Athens Police Headquarters, which is where the Antiterrorist Unit has its offices. Giorgos Polydoras and Christos Tsakalos are also being charged with the Fire Cells Conspiracy package-bomb mailings of November 1, 2010, while Damiano Bolano and Giorgos Nikolopoulos have already been brought to prison. On March 16, all six were again brought before the prosecutor to give statements about the weapons that were found. Constantinos Papadopoulos said he had nothing to do with the Fire Cells Conspiracy, but he stated that he was an anarchist. He was released on bail of 10,000 euros, but he is prohibited from leaving the country and will have to sign in at his neighborhood police station three times a month. The five Nea Ionia arrestees again refused to participate in the proceedings and said nothing. They were ordered to be placed in preventive detention. Right now, all five are being charged with membership in the Fire Cells Conspiracy, and they also all have "weapons possession" charges. We will publish contact information for the five comrades as soon as it is available.
Fire Cells Conspiracy Prisoner Cell: Statement in Solidarity with the "Bombings Case" Prisoners in Chile
From Culmine (March 7, 2011) via Indymedia Barcelona (March 7, 2011):
On March 2, the Fire Cells Conspiracy Prisoner Cell released the following letter in solidarity with the hunger strike being carried out by the imprisoned "Bombings Case" comrades in Chile.
We are have entered a period in which attacks on Domination and its conquered subjects are spreading with undiminished intensity to the four corners of the Earth. Our individualities, despite living and evolving in many different circumstances, share the same positive emotions: disgust and hatred toward this world. We collectivize our negations and arm them with the insatiable desire for action and the burning passion for total liberation. Different borders and languages are obstacles we will demolish to find ourselves side by side, rising up against this system's orders and decrees, derisively spitting on each law-abiding way of life it offers.
We reject this world—this vast authoritarian construct—and we do not hesitate to point the barrel of our critique at the willingly enslaved majority of the social body, whose defeatist attitude contributes to the preservation of the existing regime. We refuse to degrade, in any way whatsoever, our revolutionary perspective and ethic in the name of wider "social acceptance." We are proud to be part of the anarchist/antiauthoritarian movement, and we are in favor of all processes and projects that spread the idea and practice of revolution. To us, revolution doesn't boil down to a specific period of time in the distant future. Rather, it is a response, here and now, to the totalitarianism we see in every expression of Domination. It is our own response to the existential void imposed by contemporary consumer civilization. It is an expression of the rage awakened in us by the agonizing urban environment that restricts our movements and desires, the same expression of rage that can't be suffocated by the elaborate dead-ends presented to us as "reasonable choices." It is also all the moments of attack we've shared with comrades, as well as the moments to come. It is the enchantment and the magic of connecting praxis to theory, causing little cracks to form in the shop window of determinism. It is all our points of view, and the means of achieving it is the new urban guerrilla war. Self-Organization, Solidarity, Attack, Respect, Trust, and Friendship are its cornerstones, forming the foundation of diffuse urban guerrilla war.
Dozens of our brothers, the well-known but also the unknown, are in prisons here as well as far away. Some of them remain captive on the basis of a few pitiful charges, others because they were unfortunately stopped while carrying out an attack. However, the legal duality of "innocence and guilt" is irrelevant to solidarity, which is a relationship between comrades that considers the dignity and political conscience of each revolutionary. In August 2010, a number of Chilean comrades were arrested during a repressive operation. Eight of them, plus two more arrested in September, were placed in preventive detention, while the rest were granted a provisional release. These comrades are being charged with dozens of revolutionary bombings despite a complete lack of evidence against them. The organizations that carried out said bombings have even stated via communiqué that they have no relationship with the arrestees, whose criminal prosecution by the Chilean state nevertheless continues. The comrades in preventive detention are locked up in high-security wings for 22 hours a day, in cells that measure six square meters. The extension of their captivity fills us with rage. They recently began a hunger strike, demanding their immediate release and the scheduling of their trial date, as well as the abolition of the antiterrorist law inherited by the current Chilean democracy from the Pinochet regime.
We send our warmest greetings to Andrea Urzúa, Camilo Pérez, Carlos Riveros, Felipe Guerra, Francisco Solar, Mónica Caballero, Pablo Morales, and Rodolfo Retamales, and from the bottom of our hearts wish them victory in the difficult struggle they are engaged in. From thousands of miles away, we send them our revolutionary signals, encouragement, courage, and strength. We call on all comrades, including ourselves, to carry out attacks and aggressive expressions of support for their hunger strike in the context of International Solidarity, thereby giving the powerful a taste of the flames that burn in our hearts. From Chile to Greece, the Netherlands to Mexico, Italy to Argentina, England to Switzerland, Germany to Russia, and the U.S. to Turkey, we will use every method to intensify the revolutionary anarchist war. Finally, many special thanks to comrades Andrea Urzúa and Mónica Caballeros for publicly expressing their solidarity with our case.
You aspire to the free heights, your soul thirsts for the stars. But your wicked instincts, too, thirst for freedom. Your wild dogs want freedom; they bark with joy in their cellar when your spirit plans to open all prisons.
—Friedrich Nietzsche
—Fire Cells Conspiracy Prisoner Cell: Gerasimos Tsakalos, Panayiotis Argyrou, Haris Hatzimichelakis, Michalis Nikolopoulos
Note: The above statement doesn't mention comrades Vinicio Aguilera and Omar Hermosilla, likely because news hadn't yet reached Greece that Aguilera and Hermosilla were back in prison and had immediately joined the hunger strike. Another error is the mention of Pablo Morales as one of the hunger strikers, when in actuality he is the only one who has not joined.
The bad news: New arrests in Greece
From Klinamen (various dates):
On October 13, 2010, after torching a number of vehicles belonging to Greek state electrical company DEI in Thessaloniki, 19-year-old comrade Yiannis Skouloudis was arrested. He admitted responsibility for the arson and was locked up in Avlona Prison. The pigs then issued arrest warrants for four comrades—Dimitris Fessas, Dimitris Dimitsiadis, Haralambos Stylianidis, and Sokratis Tzifkas—believed to be Skouloudis' accomplices. They chose the dignified path of going into hiding, but during the afternoon of January 13, 2011, the counterterrorism unit raided a house in the Vyronas neighborhood of Athens and arrested all four of them. Another house is the Tavros neighborhood was also searched. According to the police, they found an AK-47, bullets, four false identification cards, and the draft of a supposed communiqué saved on one of the confiscated computers. Based on this "evidence," and unable to link the four to any attacks other than the DEI arson, the pigs began talking about a "new terrorist organization that still hadn't gone into action, yet was planning a number of bloody attacks." Since Skouloudis and the other four were mentioned in a recent Fire Cells Conspiracy communiqué, the police suggested that they had uncovered a "new offshoot of the Fire Cells Conspiracy."
In any event, Fessas, Dimitsiadis, Stylianidis, and Tzifkas were subjected to terrible beatings, but they refused to enter a plea in front of the pigs or the judges, saying only: "We will not enter a plea. We are revolutionaries and anarchists." They also refused to have their pictures and fingerprints taken, but the pigs managed to do both by force. Ultimately, all four were brought to Thessaloniki, where the prosecutor decided to confirm their imprisonment for the DEI arson. They were then returned to Athens, where the prosecutor and judge unanimously reconfirmed their imprisonment, adding charges of "weapons possession" and "forming a terrorist group." Yet again, an attempt is being made to criminalize the comradely and friendly relationships of those who are "tainted" and those who aren't.
Fessas, Dimitsiadis, Stylianidis, and Tzifkas, who range in age from 21 to 23, were finally brought to Korydallos Prison in Athens. Their contact information will be included in the next updated list of Greek anarchist prisoners.
At noon on January 26, DIAS squad pigs in Kifissia decided to search two people who they felt looked suspicious. One managed to escape, leading to a multiple-hour helicopter search, while the other—23-year-old Michalis Nikolopoulos—was arrested. In his possession were a Glock 9mm handgun, a spare magazine, a hand grenade, and a false identity card. It was later revealed that, because his fingerprints were among those found at Haris Hatzimichelakis' apartment, Nikolopoulos had been wanted by the police since September 2009 on charges of belonging to the Fire Cells Conspiracy. He is being charged for the same three attacks that the other 12 comrades are currently on trial for, as well as the November 1, 2010 mailing of package-bombs that led to the arrests of Panayiotis Argyrou and Gerasimos Tsakalos. On January 28, the prosecutor and judges unanimously decided to imprison Nikolopoulos, who refused to enter a plea or participate in the proceedings. The next day, the police raided a house in the Nea Chalkidona neighborhood that was supposedly rented using Nikolopoulos false identity card, but they found nothing. It remains to be seen whether Nikolopoulos will be included in the Fire Cells Conspiracy trial currently underway, but he has already released a statement in which he admits to being a member of the group.
There are still three comrades at large in the Fire Cells Conspiracy case. Nikolopoulos' brother and another person have had warrants out for their arrest since September 2009, while Gerasimos Tsakalos' older brother was named in an arrest warrant issued in November 2010, just a few days after his younger brother's arrest.
At 1:30 p.m. on January 31, an armed robbery took place in Thessaloniki. Two people entered the (state) Youth Center located in the Neapoli neighborhood, where an auction was being held for vehicles seized by the traffic police, and managed to get away with over 35,000 euros. Minutes later, near the site of the auction, DIAS squad pigs surrounded the motorcycle of 23-year-old comrade Rami Syrianos. In his possession were a loaded CZ 75B handgun, a hand grenade, and a leather case containing loot from the robbery: almost 36,000 euros in cash, two checks (one for 530 euros and the other for 2000 euros), and 83 receipts issued by the organizers of the auction.
Shortly thereafter, undercover police arrested another comrade—28-year-old Kleomenis Savvanidis, supposedly identified as the second "culprit"—near his home. Searches of the homes of both comrades and another woman followed, with the police swiping computers, phone cards, flash drives, an airsoft pistol, "manuscripts and drafts of documents with anarchist content," etc.
Several mass media outlets ran photos of Syrianos and Savvanidis, as well as a "secure and anonymous" phone number for snitching. Both men are facing the same felony charges of "forming a criminal enterprise" and "armed robbery," as well as the less serious charges of "weapons possession," "possession of criminal proceeds," "fostering criminality," "resisting arrest," etc.
Savvanidis' colleagues released an open letter refuting the police accusations and asserting that Savvanidis was working at Aristotle University's self-managed cafeteria in Thessaloniki at the time of the robbery. The letter mentions that security guards, cleaning staff, professors, and students can all confirm that Savvanidis was at the cafeteria from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Reference is also made to eyewitnesses who supposedly saw a robber "roughly between 1.65 and 1.70 meters tall" and "positively identified" Savvanidis, who happens to be 1.84 meters tall.
On February 3, Syrianos and Savvanidis were brought before the judges. A number of witnesses took the stand, including a university professor who testified that at the time of the robbery Savvanidis was at the cafeteria. Savvanidis was released without bail, but as a preventive measure will not be allowed to leave the country. Meanwhile, Syrianos refused to enter a plea, saying only: "I put my rejection of wage-labor into practice." He was placed in pretrial detention at Ioannina Prison.

Bombing at police station in Mexico State
From Culmine (February 9, 2011):
But who votes for them? Who lowers their head in deference? Who admires them and wants, or at least wants their kids, to be just like them? Who remains silent in the face of the injustices they commit? There is only one answer: SOCIETY.
—Gerasimos Tsakalos
During the night of February 5, we decided to attack our old enemies. The target was a police station located in the Potrero suburb of Coacalco, Mexico State.
At around 8 p.m., we placed an explosive device made from butane gas canisters and gasoline next to a motorcycle parked near the entrance to the station. A homemade delay activated the fuse and detonated the explosive, causing a loud noise to shake the area. The motorcycle was damaged, as was the façade of the station that gives refuge to the idiotic defenders of those who believe they are masters of everything.
Several vans arrived on the scene, full of police imbeciles dressed in their military uniforms. They showed up just in time to get a look at the remains of our explosive.
This attack was specially planned and designed to occur when the police were most vulnerable in their "workplace." A police van with its siren on right in front of us didn't stop our operation.
They should know that, yet again, they haven't stopped us. They should know that these attacks won't cease. It's as easy for us to leave behind a bag filled with explosives as it is to make an attempt on their lives. We don't care if they might be fathers with families, or any of that shit. They are police, and the only things they deserve are bombs, fire, stones, and death. Do they think we haven't seen them extort? Do they think we haven't seen their convoys, taking note of their lack of courage as they terrorize with their rifles and covered faces? Do they think we haven't seen the bastards from the Coacalco Special Rapid Reaction Squad (GERI-C) making the rounds in their armored trucks, deluding themselves into believing that they are the heroes of Coacalco? Do they think we haven't seen their extreme megalomania as they ride around in their black trucks? They are more like shock troops or paramilitaries than loyal servants of the capital-state's orders. They should know this: The only thing they evoke is not fear, but disgust and revulsion at their righteous authority as well as their uniform.
We don't care if this kneeling, submissive society respects or fears them. It doesn't matter to us if people cheer them or get scared when they pass by. We are not a vanguard, here to defend the "poor little exploited ones." We are not avengers of the "oppressed people." We are sickened by all those leftist causes that only make the system reexamine and repair its flaws. We aren't fighting for a humane ecocide. We're fighting for ourselves as individuals, for the animals, for the earth, for autonomy, and for wild nature.
It's worth saying again: We won't sit around waiting to attack, since we are not part of this cowardly society. We will go to their headquarters and their guard posts, and when they hear an explosion or see something engulfed by flames, every policeman in Mexico and the rest of the world will be reminded of us.
Anytime and anywhere, we will continue to attack despite all the security cameras they've put in the streets and avenues, despite their military-police routines, despite their operations, despite their threats. Now we've made it clear.
The war continues. With or without our imprisoned comrades, the bombs will keep exploding and the fire will continue to light up the night sky, because chaos is not dead!
Direct solidarity with Adrián Magdaleno Gonzales: You're still standing, so go ahead and laugh at the prison authorities who think they've crushed your spirit!
Direct solidarity with Braulio Arturo Durán: You keep smashing the cells that hold you captive, and we'll keep shattering reality on the outside!
Direct solidarity with the "bombings case" prisoners in Chile: No set-up lasts forever!
Direct solidarity with Walter Bond in the United States: Even the FBI can't eradicate your wild conviction!
Direct solidarity with Silvia, Costa, and Billy in Switzerland, and Leo in Italy: Avanti with anticivilization and eco-anarchist ideas!
Direct solidarity with Panayiotis Argyrou, Gerasimos Tsakalos, and the others charged with being members of the Fire Cells Conspiracy in Greece, who are now on hunger strike: Antisocial, nihilist, and anarchist until the end!
—Earth Liberation Front (Informal Anarchist Federation/Global Network)
Update on Fire Cells Conspiracy and recent arrests in Greece
From Culmine (December 29, 2010) via Indymedia Barcelona (December 28, 2010):
On November 1, two anarchist comrades—24-year-old Gerasimos Tsakalos and 22-year-old Panayiotis Argyrou—were arrested in Athens after attempting to mail package-bombs to various embassies. While Tsakalos was known to police simply because he is an anarchist, Argyrou had a warrant out for his arrest since October 2009 on charges of belonging to the Fire Cells Conspiracy, and he was also awaiting trial for allegedly torching a public bus two years ago. On November 22, Tsakalos, Argyrou, and Harilaos "Haris" Hatzimichelakis—who has been in pretrial detention since September 2009—released letters (Tsakalos and Argyrou's letter, Hatzimichelakis' letter) in which they admitted to being members of the Fire Cells Conspiracy.
On November 25, the Fire Cells Conspiracy claimed responsibility for mailing the package-bombs.
On December 4 and the days that followed, a massive counterterrorism operation took place in and around the Athens metropolitan area. Pigs raided and searched a number of homes and arrested several comrades. Among the six people (five men and one woman) later imprisoned were Giorgos Karagiannidis and Alexandros Mitrousias, both of whom had warrants out for their arrest since September 2009 on charges related to the Fire Cells Conspiracy case. Karagiannidis was arrested at an apartment in Piraeus. Mitrousias and another comrade, Constantinos Sakkas, were arrested as they were leaving a garage in the Nea Smyrni neighborhood. They allegedly had a bag in their possession containing two Glock pistols, a Skorpion submachine gun, and a hand grenade. In the garage, police also found three submachine guns, seven pistols of different manufacture, 50 kilograms of ANFO explosive, four hand grenades, three AK-47 assault rifles, a silencer, a large quantity of bullets, and 200 grams of TNT. At another location, the pigs found more than 30 fake ID cards, as well as other "contraband." Karagiannidis and Mitrousias both denied having any relationship to the Fire Cells Conspiracy. Their arrest warrants, as well as warrants for others, were issued at the end of September 2009 on the basis of fingerprints found at Hatzimichelakis' home—the notorious "safe house" in the Halandri neighborhood, where everything began. Since all the weapons were clean, the authorities were unable to link the six people arrested on December 4—some of whom don't know one another and were arrested in different places—to any specific attacks, so they are now talking about "a new terrorist organization." Due to our not wanting to release news based exclusively on police statements and articles in the bourgeois press, we consciously avoided writing anything about these events in the hope that those arrested would speak for themselves. A week ago, one of those arrested—well-known anarchist Christos Politis—released a letter that we intend to translate as soon as possible.
On December 22, Hatzimichelakis, Argyrou, and Tsakalos released a statement saying that Karagiannidis and Mitrousias have nothing to do with the Fire Cells Conspiracy.
On January 17, the first Fire Cells Conspiracy trial will take place in the courtroom at Korydallos Prison, and the group has called for solidarity. The thirteen people facing trial are: Panayiotis "Takis" Masouras (in pretrial detention since September 2009, he denies membership), Harilaos "Haris" Hatzimichelakis (in pretrial detention since September 2009, he recently admitted to membership), Konstantina "Nina" Karakatsani (at large since September 2009 and in pretrial detention since April 2010, she denies membership), Panayiotis Argyrou (at large since September 2009 and in pretrial detention since November 2010, he admitted to membership), Alexandros Mitrousias (at large since September 2009 and imprisoned on December 4, 2010, he denies membership), Giorgos Karagiannidis (at large since September 2009 and imprisoned on December 4, 2010, he denies membership), Emmanouil "Manolis" Yiospas (arrested in September 2009 and released on probation in April 2010), Nikos Vogiatzakis (imprisoned in February 2010 for one month and subsequently released on probation), Errikos Rallis (at large since November 2009, arrested in March 2010, and released on probation a few days later), plus four people who have warrants out for their arrest (three since October 2009, with the fourth being Gerasimos Tsakalos' older brother, whose arrest warrant was issued a week after Gerasimos was arrested for the package-bombs). Absent from the list is Gerasimos Tsakalos, who will likely be tried at a later date.

You know, thrylos, some of us like to remember and even celebrate some of the good things, like the Rantz connection to Kirby Puckett.
Leave it to you to come along and piss in the punch bowl. I feel sorry for you.
The Twins went a full decade not once picking in the top third of the draft (Hicks, 2006, I believe).
If the computerless Rantz (a thrylos rant) was such a big problem, the Twins should certainly have a farm system ranked among the ten worst, right? Instead, the latest rankings will place the Twins certainly in the top third, often higher. Rantz doesn't get all the credit for this, but he deserves much of the praise he gets, most of it coming from people who know what they're talking about. This contrasts with the opinion of some pissant with his snotty little head buried in his little laptop.
I hope this young guy is not just another yes-man who is forced into TR's old school ways of drafting/signing nice guys who are willing to buy into the "Twins Way". The Twins way will be LOSING until they find a way to rid themselves of the old guard who got this organization in this bind.
As a die hard Twins fan I don't want to go another 10+ years without winning a playoff game especially now that payroll is no longer an excuse.
Huh? Incredibly, twinswon1991, you were able to avoid facts once again. Congratulations.
About time. Guy's WAR has been slipping for six straight seasons.
Honest question...how involved is the minor league director with drafting? He's not really a scout anymore right? So does he even have any input on drafts and international signings?
For the glass half empty guys: he soon will be gone and all of those mediocre years and failed prospects under his reign will be behind you... take a deep breath and enjoy. Savor this moment.
For the glass half full guys: 2 World Championships in 4 years... fantastique! A plethora a very good and a few great great players under his watch... great as well! If you were alive and cognizant of those Championship Years, the joy of those accomplishments remain - an everlasting hangover.
My thought is that it is almost impossible to be a "Arm Chair" Farm Director.
If you are displeased and want to blame someone on the Twin's Mediocrity - blame the owners. After all, they are the ones who have the power to change or not change things.
righty8383, thanks for pointing out that Rantz was only in charge of developing the players, and not drafting them. Rantz and about five dozen other employees that is.
Oh, and Rantz and his staff did such a lousy job developing players that, despite being given so little to work with in the opinion of many of you, he was able to supply the big club with these players this year: Revere, Hendriks, Robertson, Waldrop, Diamond, DeVries, Parmelee, and Dozier.
Wishing Mr. Rantz the best. That's quite a run and I'm sure the guy has plenty of great stories to tell.
[QUOTE=thrylos98;58336][QUOTE=old nurse;58334]
The ability to use a computer is not tied to age. I am sure Warren Buffet learned to use one. They were pretty rudimentary in Gates and Wozniak's youth.
Farewell to Rantz, can't say I hate to see him go. I know he has put a lot of time in with the Twins, but at some point you have to call it a career. Rantz will be missed by many within the organization. I welcome new ideas in an organization that has few of them.

A convenient climax mars things somewhat, but on the whole this is a precise and compelling effort. Especially after the garbage performance seen in Shamo, Accident ends up being a film of halves, with the first half being a rather brilliant maneuvering of audience empathy. Accident introduces a bunch of hit men who bump their marks off very differently. A troubled assassin, who works by orchestrating "accidents", suspects that an accident that happens to his team is not an accident at all. How many more time can I use the word 'accident'? Well luckily you won't have to succumb to a long drawn out film (or review), because running less than 90 minutes, you're somehow on his side as you watch him descend into his obsession.
Things start to fall apart in the second half when Cheang transforms the movie into a psychological thriller – with the perpetrator believing that he has become the target. It becomes a fascinating character study of a man who gradually destroys himself through paranoia and guilt. As such, the film largely depends on Louis Koo's performance – and what a performance it is; with this film, Koo finally deserves to be elevated from the hotpot of mediocre HK-popstars-cum-actors people used to include him in. It may not be a straight horror film, but it posits some scarily existential things about how the world will eventually have its way with us despite our best efforts. Questions that should be asked aren't. Questions that no one really cares about are lingered on too long. It become genre bending and I am not sure if it is good or bad.
With the main character being a stony hired killer, there's no one to root for, and it doesn't take too many lingering shots of Brain furrowing his brow to convey the wheels of his genius brain are turning while conducting surveillance of mundane events until you stop caring. Slogging through to the ending adds little, so you might as well just move on when the boredom gets intense. There's really not any "twist" at the end that redeems things, as some reviewers try to make out; I don't know if the film's creators really even intended there to be. If you're "blown away" by the ending, either you haven't seen many movies of this sort, or you should probably consider yourself a pretty thick. By the time the final credits role I was emotionally exhausted and thoroughly entertained. One problem is that it's hard to decipher all that is happening from one viewing. It can get ponderous and confusing. But, in the end, like I said, the acting is generally very good and the action of the deaths very well done.
Still, this is a commercially-released picture with a fairly big Hong Kong star, so I have to grade it as such. It won't push barriers, nobody how good you think this film may be. The intricate accident sequences are thrilling in their complexity and streaked here and there by a certain poetry. The rain, the neon lights and a solar eclipse dusty become the dominant hue of the photography. We can think Brain not as a criminal, but a sort of artist who paints on a canvas the instruction book of human-robot who thinks he can choose, who thinks things randomly happen to him, who thinks he's really living. Sadly, it falls claim to bid budget Hong Kong and in its favor, those are criticism a film like this can't avoid. I'm conflicted, I enjoyed what I saw, but there were just too many things I couldn't overlook. Naturally, if you like Johnnie's movies, this should be among your list.

And according to Southold Town Supervisor Scott Russell, the plan is slated to begin in March.
Dave Dominy of the Southold Town Management Deer Task Foce kicked off the meeting, held in the town's recreation center on Peconic Lane.
"We're all here tonight because of the voice of the town," Dominy said.
The United States Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services involvement, via the proposed sharpshooter program, Dominy said, would be only "one more piece of the puzzle" meant to solve problems such as car accidents, tick-born disease, and devastation to the environment caused by an overabundance of deer.
Hunters, he said, are still a critical component.
The sharpshooter program, he said, was only a proposal. "Nothing is set in stone."
Russell said the need for action was immediate. "We have a real crisis in Southold Town. There are too many white-tailed deer," he said.
With limitations imposed by the state regarding hunting regulations, Russell said, hunting alone will not solve the problem.
Joe Gergela, executive director of the Long Island Farm Bureau, asked each of the five East End towns to contribute toward the program; the LIFB has a $250,000 grant. Southold Town's contribution is $25,000.
"Southold Town is 100 percent in support of this program," Russell said.
At a deer forum held in September, Russell said, "The voice of residents was resounding. You have all spoken to us, loud and clear. We need to take more action now."
The sharpshooter program, he said, won't replace hunting, still the most critical weapon the town has against deer.
Gergela said fencing only moves the deer into residential communities.
"Southold is the leader on the East End in doing something about this issue," Gergela said, followed by East Hampton.
Farmers feel deer are decimating their crops, to the tune of $3 million per year, Gergela said.
While deer advocates have spoken out, Gergela said, "We are hearing from a lot of people not from Long Island, or they are famous people with a lot of money but really not locals and they have no investment in this community or any other community in the Hamptons other than owning a second home. The people that live here have a vested interest and a lot of citizens not happy."
He assured that the plan was to donate the venison to food banks.
Gergela said he was approached by one man who said the program was bad for hunters. "I told him, 'You are misunderstanding. We are just trying to take a few deer out.'"
His comment led to fireworks between members of the group Hunters for Deer, LLC, founded by Mike Tessitore.
Tessitore said there were many unanswered questions about the program.
Gergela said hunters were critical to the deer issue, but hunters hit a stumbling block in the form of political stalemate that is exacerbating the problem — Assemblyman Robert Sweeney, of Lindenhurst. Sweeney, Russell said, refuses to budge on statutory changes that would allow legislation to move forward through the Assembly so that the deer population can be managed locally.
Tessitore, of East Quogue, said the sharpshooter program was using the public's tax dollars; he said he represented 3000 hunters.
"This affects me and my hunting," he said. "We're putting food on our tables."
"You are being forced into this because the legislation to make hunters successful isn't here," Gergela said.
Tessitore, and other members of his organization that took to the podium, said they were willing to cull the deer for free, but the USDA was able to do all the things local hunters are not allowed to do, including using rifles at night and baiting.
"You want to take our deer, but we won't let you," Tessitore said. "You might as well pack up your stuff and go."
Russell agreed the town would rather use local hunters and pointed to the program already in place, including a refrigerated cooler the town has for hunters. But state legislation is so restrictive that local hunters "can't get the job done," he said. As soon as the stalled legislation passes in the New York State Assembly, Russell said to the hunters, "We know we can rely on you."
Other hunters asked why the USDA program had to happen immediately; Tessitore said accidents related to deer are actually down statewide.
"It's a dire situation," said a woman in the crowd.
One woman said during the past years of her life, she has been plagued by tick born diseases. "This is a health issue for me. I had a fever of 105 degrees for seven days."
Mattituck resident Marie Domenici said beyond the health and safety concerns, once the major media outlets publicized the "epidemic proportions of Lyme disease" in Southold, property values would plummet.
Other members of the Hunters for Deer Group pleaded with the town to allow them to come in and cull the herd.
Claire Kennedy of Southold said she came to speak on behalf of her children, 17, 15, and 5, all of whom have tested positive for tick-born disease. Her oldest boy missed three Regents exams and had to drop out of cross country because he had no stamina; he was hospitalized. "I thought he was dying," she said. "I don't want to think that my children have to go through this, all through their lives, it comes back. And this isn't from tromping through the woods — this is from playing in the yard. For me, this is personal. It's my children."
Suffolk County Legislator Al Krupski said the problem has grown in his lifetime; when he was a child, no one saw deer.
New York State Assemblyman Anthony Palumbo said the public needed to put political pressure on Sweeney. "It's an election year. We need to stick it to him."
Some questioned the safety of sharpshooters.
Martin Lowney, New York State Director of USDA Wildlife Services, outlined the sharpshooter plan and said the practice was safe, and there have never been any firearm accidents.
Lowney laid out the facts: Crop damage in Suffolk County that jumped from $1.75 to $5 million from 2004 to 2009. New Yorkers, he said, have a one in 160 chance of a deer vehicle collision, with 35,000 annually. He also discussed tick born diseases and damage to the environment.
With 30,000 deer in Suffolk County, and currently, approximately 2,500 harvested by hunters and 925 with kill permits, around 26,500 deer are left.
To stabilize the population, 30 percent of those deer must be killed, he said.
"The current program doesn't work," he said. "You're going the wrong direction. You need to do more to slow down this reproductive engine."
The sharpshooter program can only commence with landowner approval, and with elected officials helping to identify where the culling can take place.
The culling program, Lowney said, would entail shooting from elevated stands, 15 to 29 feet tall, over bait, such as corn or apples, and shooting from mobile vehicles in the evening and at night, around 2 or 3 a.m.
FLIR thermal imaging devices would be used to pinpoint deer, as well as other mammals; suppressed firearms would be used.
To maximize funds, Lowney said the focus would be on does and young female deer, shooting them "humanely" in the brain.
Discussing contraceptive alternatives, such as the contraceptive Gonacon, Lowney said was not an effective measure, as the procedure must be repeated every two years, forever, and was costly, up to $30 million, every two years. Plus, 80 percent of females must be treated to stabilize the current population, he said.
Currently, Lowney said, there are 50 to 80 deer per square mile in Suffolk County; that number must be reduced to 15 to protect the environment and less than 20 to prevent accidents on the road.
Once deer are killed, they will be given to food banks, he said.
Don Stewart of the North Fork Deer Management Alliance applauded the program. "As responsible citizens, this is the right thing to do," he said.
He asked how residents could help.
The USDA representatives said neighbors could volunteer to help with baiting, identifying shooting areas, and field dressing the deer once killed.
Sherry Thomas of Orient said "the sterilization myth is just totally out of control." She added, "There is a widespread myth that there is a magic bullet and until you get the facts out, there will be conflict in the community."
Loud applaud followed her comment.
Only one man, Ron Coons, a second home owner in Laurel, spoke out for the deer. "I'd like to be the voice for the deer," he said. "When you come to Southold with your children, you get a great feeling. That's why a lot of people come out here."
He said power point presentations are often slanted and said he'd done research on deer management programs in other parts of the country that included sterilization.
He added that he'd rather see local hunters tackle the problem. "We're better off handling it ourselves," he said.
One resident asked about the cost of killing the deer and how many would be killed per night.
Lowney said there is no per-night cost and conditions could vary each night.

Calder Cup finals coming to Texas
They'll advance to the Calder Cup Finals now against Eastern Conference champs and Calder Cup defending Hershey Bears.
Honestly, I really thought Texas was going to have their tushies handed to them tonight, what with some serious gamers coming down from Montreal. But in spite of being outshot mercilessly in the first two periods, and down 2-0 early in the game, the Stars racked up 3 goals in the third period to send the stunned Bulldogs home for the summer.
So, now they face a Hershey team that, frankly, I'd put up against NHL teams. They're just really really good. But who knows? The Stars seem to have something special going and Hershey's been sitting around for ages after ousting Manchester.
The stupid thing is that, because of a circus in Hershey, the series will not start for 8 days on June 3. Terrible. And imagine how the ice will be up there in June and with circus filth. Oh well. That's minor league hockey for ya.
Anyway, I'm sure we'll have some folks making the trip to Cedar Park to catch the best of the best in the AHL duking it out. If you haven't been to CP yet for a game, go for it (though I'd plan ahead for tickets). It's a really nice, intimate barn and should be rocking pretty hard when the series moves to Texas.
Check out our friend HundredDegreeHockey for all the Stars news, and here's the series schedule (times are Central):
Game 1 – Thu., June 3 – Texas at Hershey, 6:00 pm
Game 2 – Sat., June 5 – Texas at Hershey, 6:00 pm
Game 3 – Mon., June 7 – Hershey at Texas, 7:30 pm
Game 4 – Wed., June 9 – Hershey at Texas, 7:30 pm
*Game 5 – Fri., June 11 – Hershey at Texas, 7:30 pm
*Game 6 – Mon., June 14 – Texas at Hershey, 6:00 pm
*Game 7 – Wed., June 16 – Texas at Hershey, 6:00 pm
*-if necessary

The Cedar Park Barn is a great venue for AHL hockey, with great game-management. The Aeros might take a few hints on improvement in scoreboard management from the innovative and talented Stars organization.
Despite a record 7 OT playoff wins thus far, Hershey should prove to be less than invincible, when matached up against the well-coached and talented Stars...and there should be little doubt as to the Character of this Stars Team. While Brent Krahn will not be available for the Finals, Matt Climie has done an admirable job and continues to mature as a future NHL goalie. No doubt, Glen Gulutzan will continue to get the BEST performance out of his talented team, including Jamie Benn, the current Calder point leader, keeping his players focused on limited PIM.
Finally, in retrospect. the Stars have managed to accomplish what the 2008-9 Aeros failed to do in a Conference Final...win the final 2 games in the opponents barn. Unfortunately, notwithstanding Kevin Constantine's coaching ability, his team was not as talented as the current Stars and was ultimately done in by a ill- conceived travel schedule (including back-back games 1 and 2 in Winnipeg after a single day of rest) which favored a well-rested Manitoba Team.

Amazing since just a few years ago, Dallas had next to no talent in their farm system. Remember the Utah Grizzlies?
Maybe there's hope for the Aeros 3-5 years out.

Good luck to the Stars. If I would not be out of state that week on vacation, I would definitely head up to Cedar Park.

Allow me to wax lyrical about my favorite pork lunch. Restaurant New Yew Sang Seafood is a dai chow place that magically transforms itself into a chap fun (mixed rice) place in the day. It has a rather unassuming façade, but dishes up hearty meals for the office workers around these parts.
The crowd here during lunch is formidable – the tables and chairs snakes lazily out the front of the restaurant and runs along the side and all the way down, illegally infringing on the sidewalk of the other business establishments as a testament to their popularity.
The place isn't really optimal for eating though – the corrugated tin roof causes major heat retention in the afternoon sun and the place is always so packed it's hard to even find a seat. There are two mixed rice places here – one is Malay and the other Chinese. Needless to say the Malay one doesn't serve pork.
I usually come here if I want to take away. The pork has been calling me the entire week – this is the fourth consecutive day I've eaten here. I would eat here at night too, except they don't open at night.
The owner with ready packed rice in Styrofoam boxes for easier distribution.
What's so special about the chap fan over here? It's just chap fan right? Yeah, when it boils (haha) down to that, I can't exactly put my finger on why I like this place. It has an impressive repertoire of dishes with enough variety that you can go for a fortnight without having to eat the same dish twice. That's not the reason though – I always get the same stuff every day. If I was forced to cough up a reason, I'll say it's the pork.
The left flank of food.
I'm particularly fond of the stewed pork over here. It's unashamedly swine: loud, brash and full of fat. It's like there's a neon sign saying PIG over it.This is not a place which believes in taking off the skin and fat before serving pork – the huge chunks of lard and chewy skin is not discarded, but celebrated. Totally unapologetic. I like.
I always take one huge steamed chicken drumstick in soy sauce - it tastes like the "Asian marinated chicken" I used to get in Countdown (a chain of grocery stores in NZ) to microwave before eating. I think you're supposed to take one piece (each drumstick is conveniently chopped into three bite sized pieces) so perhaps this is why my rice tends to rack up a bill on the high side.
The right flank – the pork is here.
I also like the tomato cooked with eggs and starch, producing that distinctive look. I've never been a big fan of this when I was a kid, but it was the best (as in palatable) dish that the cook in rehab could come out with. You can't exactly go wrong with a couple of tomatoes, an egg and starch.
It usually costs RM 7 for my pork extravaganza…and it's worth every penny (or sen).

Ou.. yummy! I just had dinner.. and I'm hungry again looking at these!
When u gonna buy me a chap fun??? I will fly to Mal for that… ;) yummy yummy….
You know i find these chap fan place usually has a wide array of dishes – different colour, different texture, different meat. But when you eat for a longer period – say a few years, they tend to taste the same regardless of what you take. :P
Dude, I like the take no prisoners, distinctively sixthseal's writing style.. You are a natural in making a simple Chap fan review flow like a nice novel, smooth. I usually skip a lot of sentences on food blogs, but not sixthseal's.
Yummy.. chap fan@economy rice, but it's not that economy. So many food variety…In sibu, only can be found at Pasar Malam but then also not much choicez… This gonna make me gain weight if i stay near to that area. ;)
Argh~~~ I want Du Kar Peng!! HB, great writing. Bad for me to read with an empty stomach. This is the first time I read a chap fan review and bring me back to the old days in Bangi and Kajang. My choices were always the same too, since I was still a vegetarian that time, I always must have either steam egg, fried soy bean "sheet" or mui choy without the pork. They FOC service us with cow dung smell. Oh yeah~~~
wow, that looks great. ( no disrespcect to my muslim or jewish friends, who keep halal, or kosher) but that is one good looking feast. I can see why you go often. Tom
I like the dishes that u ordered especially the fatty pork with "tauyu". Delicious…
You make me want to go there tomoro. Hey, u can join the Digi "Speak Up" contest, can win movie passes, hp, and GSC movie passes, RM3000… :D
HB, I like diner type setting and meals are good deal good portion. I would not take a date to it till we both agree it ok on casual days dating.
SW: Arrgghhh…I'm craving for pork again. I should have eaten before I came into the office. Grr. :)
DYMM_Tuanku: Anytime mate! :)
chefmel: Eh, how can it taste the same?
I mean, I understand if it has a general underlying taste of MSG but meat, fish and vegetables taste different to me. ;)
e: Thanks Ed! :)
I wrote this is about 10 minutes, full steam ahead speed writing coz I was busy yesterday, perhaps my speed writing is what people associate with the old sixthseal.com
Shirley Snow: Yeah, it's not so "economy" for me too coz I get a lot of stuff. Sibu pasar malam has a good variety? I've never eaten the chap fan there. I shall try when I go back. :)
fish fish: I cannot eat the soggy soya bean sheets. It tastes strange to me. I've never liked it and while I've gotten to like some food I didn't as a kid, soya bean sheets is not one of them. ;)
I love stewed pork leg rice too! I know this awesome one in Chong Lin Park, Kuching where I used to live.
Tom Robinson: Yeah, I don't eat pork very often and I was delighted to find this place. :)
Iriene: Yup, the pork over here it great!
I joined the contest dy. :)
Michael (Mike): It's great for take away lunches too. :)
I have been told I have grossly misunderstood the term DAI CHOW over here.
Does it mean rice with ordered dishes in the middle?
Or does it cover Hokkien mee too?
dai chow basically means anything that's stirfried in the big wok….
basic dai chow is where you can get kfc (kong foo chow), hokkien mee, fried rice, mun fan, etc…
at dai chow stalls where you can 'tim choy' is where you can order dishes as well….. meat, vegie, soups, etc…..
the fried egg with tomatoes. . . u dont need starch dude . . .wanna learn how to cook it ?
alot more worth it than ur mamak ripoffs. :D
look so tempting. so are you having lunch there again today?
Nom nom, hungry leh…Chinese shop had sold all the Char Siew Pau this morning.
Sibu pasar malam one not nice.. No choices at all. I dont think you want it… :S They already packed it into styrofoam box and food is so less.. I think better u try "blue splendor" at Wisma Sanyan there.. Got aircond somemore. :) But only available during weekdays lunch hour.
OMG your lunch is totally fat-licious
oops I was yiling! Lol…
waraoweh, your lunchbox banjir maximum man.
wah … RM7.
gives a whole new meaning to 'economy rice'
I'm driving down to Melaka for the weekend. Updated via http://twitter.com/sixthseal
For a while, I thought you made a typo error – that what you meant was you were an awesome fan of pork chOp… LOL!!! Must never jump into conclusion at first sight, eh?
Haha! You actually blogged about this place. Yeah, the chap fan there is good!
Has it been 6 or 7 months since 12-18-08?????
Crap, I have WiFi in the hotel in Melaka. I was fully meaning to update tonight….
…but I forgot to bring my damn dSLR cable. Grr!
Anyways, I'm updating with photos on http://twitter.com/sixthseal
I'll post when I get home tomorrow. :)
I dont eat pork too often, but one thing I love to eat is a BLT, in the summer time. Some nice toasted bread, lettuce, tomato, Mayonaise, a few strips of crispy fried bacon, a beer, after working outside, Well, pretty nice. ( as omg as i wasnt the one that killed that particuar animal). I live on a small farm.. It definetly cuts down on your enjoyoment of beef, when you raise it from a calf. But still not that much. You just eat vegtables for a few days. Then say, pass me one of those hamburgers, please. Tom
wanlao leh…just finished gym,..after saw picture makes me even more hungry..lol
If take 2 veges and 1 meat, usually charge how much arr??
Crap, I'm seriously sleepy now. Work tomorrow. I'll reply all comment tomorrow ya! Thanks all! :)
imantulen: Alas! I was wrong indeed. I thought dai chow meant ordering dishes in the middle. Ish, no wonder people look at me weird when I said you eat dai chow in the morning? :)
foodcrazee: Sure, I'll love to. :) I know how to cook it with starch but not without.
KY: Yup! And I'm going to eat it again today. :)

suituapui: I'm a big fan of pork chop too, but I prefer STEWED PORK LEG! :)
Joyce: Yeah, this place is awesome! I just don't like eating there coz it's so hot! :(
pm: Hmm…7 months?
Tom Robinson: Yeah, a nice BLT sandwich really hits the spot on a hot day. Must be the lettuce and tomatos. :)
tej: You deserve it, after gym. :)
Jacklyn: It's quite cheap – usually RM 3.50, give or take, if you just choose those items. :)

Jys: We call it "the chinese shop" where I work. Haha! I don't think many people know the name of the shop too. It's Indian? I always assumed it's Malay from the offerings.

The Power of Encouragement
The writer of Hebrews said, "Encourage one another daily" (3:13, NIV). The apostle Paul said, "Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." Philippians 2:4, NIV. The word encourage means "to inspire with hope or confidence." We should all find ways to exercise the power of encouragement.
It happened in less than a minute.
The LaFollette City Council meeting was called to order and the next thing you knew the LaFollette Police Chief had stepped down to a Lieutenant's position.
Well I'm not buying it.
Lynch wanted that job.
He applied for it less than two years ago and appeared to be doing his best. So why would he step down?
Again, we have a situation where elected leaders should be quoting Oscar Wilde- the only thing worse than not getting what you want is getting what you want.
Just ask the LaFollette City Council.
In May 2009 it wanted James Lynch to run the city's police force. He was picked from a sizeable pool of applicants. While he was the only one among them who was currently serving on the LPD force, there were others who possessed the management experience Lynch lacked.
I have written many columns during my years at the LaFollette Press.
Some have practically written themselves. Others have been a struggle to get anything on paper.
This is one of those columns.
It is hard to write about someone who you admire and love like a sister. The difficulty is not in knowing they will read your words. The problem comes in finding the right words to describe their selflessness and dedication to a cause.
This will be my final column for Another View.
It's a bittersweet moment. I'm not sad, and this isn't a loss. I feel as though I've had a good five year run and have enjoyed going into your homes, places of work, and wherever you might've been to wind down.
You might be asking, "J.E., why are you leaving?"
The answer's quite simple.

Brazil's Atlantic Forest
Planting a Billion Trees
You can help protect one of the world's most beautiful and diverse rainforest habitats when you join the Plant A Billion Trees Campaign today.
Animal and plant life of every imaginable kind live under the lush, green canopy of Brazil's Atlantic Forest. High in the treetops, golden lion tamarins forage for food while woolly spider monkeys gather fruit and nuts. Blue-winged macaws, red-tailed parrots and countless other birds call out while elusive jaguars prowl the forest floor.
This Brazilian rainforest is home to 23 species of primates and 1,180 species of mammals, amphibians, reptiles and fish. Harboring 1,000 species of birds, almost 200 of which are not found anywhere else on Earth, it is considered the most important place for bird conservation in the Western Hemisphere by the American Bird Conservancy. For millions of local people, the rainforest is critical for their livelihoods and provides clean water and hydro energy. For the rest of us, the Atlantic Forest helps regulate the atmosphere and stabilize global climate.
The Last Stands
Centuries ago, the Atlantic Forest covered nearly 330 million acres, an area roughly the size of the eastern seaboard of the United States. Today only 7 percent remains, much of which is in isolated fragments. Home to 130 million people, the Atlantic Forest has taken heavy hits from urban expansion, coastal and industrial development, agriculture, ranching and illegal logging. Despite the forest's diminished state, 70 percent of Brazil's population relies on it for its drinking water.
How The Nature Conservancy Works in the Atlantic Forest
The Nature Conservancy and a team of local, international, public and private partners have launched an ambitious campaign to plant a billion trees by 2015. To accomplish this, we will:
How Can You Participate in the Plant a Billion Trees Campaign?
One dollar plants one tree. It's that simple. When you give today to Plant a Billion Trees, you will help the Conservancy protect and restore the Atlantic Forest. You can also call 1-800-84-ADOPT to donate.
With your $50 donation to the Plant a Billion Trees Campaign, you will receive:
Best of all, you'll get the satisfaction of knowing you're helping to protect this extraordinary wild habitat now and for future generations. Please help plant trees today!
Give Plant a Billion Trees as a Gift
You can also give Plant a Billion Trees as a gift. Your friend or loved one will adore this one-of-a-kind nature gift and enjoy it throughout the year. View all the benefits your gift recipient will receive.

Mineral Wells Index
By Betty Allison | Special to the Index
GORDON – Thorp Springs Christian College was chartered in 1910 by members of the Church of Christ. Thorp Springs has been the site of several educational institutions.
The first college there was established in 1871 by Sam Milliken and Pleasant Thorp. Thorp College changed to a number of different colleges and in 1910 the property was bought for $6,000. The new charter required that all elected trustees be members of the Church of Christ. The college opened its first session on Sept. 4, 1910, with about 150 students. By 1920 the enrollment had grown to 300 pupils.
Competition from larger schools as well as from church schools renewed interest in moving the college to a larger city. In 1928 Thorp Springs Christian College moved to Terrell. The name of the new college was changed to Texas Christian College. After only one term the college closed to establish better facilities but was never completed.
For extra-curricular activities there was the Ministerial Association, Business Club, Home Economics Club, Oratory Club, Music Class, Girls' Glee Club, Boy's Glee Club, Choral Club, Debating Club, The Press Club, Ero-Demosthenean Literary Society and the Philo-Phila Athenaeum Literary Society. In sports, they played Weatherford, Cisco and Meridian. In basketball they played two games against Cisco. They played tennis among their own students. Baseball was the most popular sport played at TSCC.
Faye Davis was a student at Thorp Springs in 1925 and her annual was donated to the Gordon Library and Museum by a daughter, Avalon Bruce, who lives at Imperial, Texas. After leaving Thorp College, Faye taught in a one-room schoolhouse in Thurber and drove a one-horse "shay" to school. Every morning her father would hitch it up for her and she would arrive early to set the fire before the students arrived. But Faye hated that rural life. Her brother, Henry Ford Davis, played country fiddle at Ma Tibbs Bar in Mingus and at times played with Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys.
Today when you drive through Thorp Springs, you would never have thought that it was once a "college town." However, it provided a school where area students could get an education closer to home.
The annual is at Gordon Library if anyone would like to see it. Perhaps you had a relative who attended the college.

With the seventh annual Run for John races scheduled for Saturday in Dalton, there is a community focus this week on the family of the late John Bruner.
John graduated in 2006 from Dalton High School, where he was an honors student — outside of school, he also accomplished the rare feat of becoming an Eagle Scout — and enjoyed a standout career as a distance runner for the Catamounts cross country and track and field programs. A team captain who helped lead the Cats to the Region 7-4A cross country title in 2005, he was The Daily Citizen's All-Area Boys Cross Country Co-Runner of the Year as a senior, and he went on to compete for Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville.
In the summer before his sophomore year at GCSU, at the too-young age of 19, he died tragically of a rare artery defect near the finish line while competing in Chattanooga's Missionary Ridge road race on Aug. 4, 2007.
The memory of the young runner continues to burn brightly to this day as Bruner's family, headed by his parents Greg and Margie, bravely march onward.
Some $10,000 worth of college scholarships is presented annually via the Run for John. As usual, this year's races — a 1-mile fun run at 8:30 a.m. and the 5K (3.1-mile) race at 9 a.m. — will start and finish at St. Joseph's Catholic Church. On-site registration starts at 7:30 a.m., but you can still sign up online through Tuesday by visiting therunforjohn.org, where you can also make donations to the scholarship fund.
These days, Margie, 52, is facing her own medical challenges. She has been diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. The stage refers to the extent to which the cancer has spread, with stage 1 being the least and stage 4 being the most.
"About a year ago, I first noticed a lump in my breast," she said. "A radiologist thought it was just a cyst. About six months later, he said the same thing. After a year I was tired of waiting and asked for a biopsy. It turned out to be cancer."
The Bruner family is one of runners, including Margie, who has made a tradition of finishing the Run for John hand-in-hand with Greg. A former Auburn University runner, she previously helped coach distance runners at Dalton High School — she was a school psychologist for Dalton City Schools for the past eight years, but now works for Dade County Schools — and is co-cross country coach at Dalton State College, which began competition this past fall.
"I think my story is a cautionary tale for other women," she said. "I had no risk factors and felt fine but I knew something wasn't right. I should have listened to my body sooner."
Despite what Margie considers "wonderful healthcare in Dalton" she has chosen to participate in a clinical trial at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn.
"I want to treat this as aggressively as possible," she said, "and this trial is not available closer to home."
Greg accompanies Margie as she goes for the clinical trial treatments every three weeks.
"This treatment is an antibody treatment that attacks the receptors on the tumor and not chemotherapy," she said. "This will probably be a year to 18-month treatment plan. However, after one treatment I feel great."
She hasn't given up running, either.
"I competed in the River Gorge race a couple of weeks ago," she said. "I'm hopeful to run through the treatment. I run four or five days a week."
And she maintains a positive attitude, which does not surprise those of us who know her competitive spirit. Yet she is realistic.
"I am very hopeful," she said. "I am healthy and I have a lot of family and friend support."
She acknowledged that like most woman diagnosed with this disease, she has her down moments.
"This first month has been scary," she said. "You have to build a treatment plan and figure out complicated material in a very short time."
She offered advice for women regarding breast cancer awareness.
"Women need to have an awareness of their bodies," she said. "If something is not right, check with your doctor and ask questions."
She continues to work and said that in keeping her regular schedule she's "not that special or different than most women dealing with this disease."
Those knowing her best would differ about her "special" observation.
Like they have since the beginning, the Bruners will proudly take part in the Run for John this year.
They would have it no other way.
Doug Hawley has been a competitive distance runner for more than 50 years. You can write to him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Criminal Justice
Bank-Robbing Attorney Pleads Guilty to Embezzling $63K From Clients
Posted Nov 24, 2010 11:16 AM CDT
By Stephanie Francis Ward
The law, it seems, wasn't working out financially for Buffalo, N.Y., attorney Michael W. Rickard II.
Earlier this year Rickard, 42, pleaded guilty to holding up two banks in Nashville, Tenn. Yesterday, in the New York State Supreme Court 8th Judicial District, he pleaded guilty to embezzling almost $63,000 from two former clients. According to the Buffalo News, the embezzlements took place in 2009, about a year before the bank robberies.
Rickard, who was admitted to practice in New York in 1998, told the court that he stole $10,240 from from a 91-year-old nursing home resident. She was mentally incapacitated, and the court appointed Rickard as her legal guardian. He also admitted to taking $52,662 from a client's estate.
Rickard is currently in West Virginia, serving a 37-month sentence for the bank robbery convictions. At his New York State Supreme Court hearing Tuesday, Judge Russell P. Buscaglia told Rickard he would probably get a one-year jail sentence for the embezzling, to be served after Rickard finishes his federal sentence.

I choose to use the word "cleanse" instead of "detox" because detox sounds so aggressive and invasive to me. Sort of like an extermination! On the other hand, a cleanse sounds like a gentle, daily practice that nourishes your body and its various systems while assisting your body to gently flush out the built up toxins within it… AAAHHH now doesn't that sound much better???
Whenever the word "cleanse" is spoken most people cringe with a fear of starvation. The thought of drinking fluids alone for days on end seems like torture! Not to mention the "vegetable soup" concoctions you MUST drink that accompany most cleanses. None of that here people, No Way!!!!
Spring is the perfect time to begin a body cleanse because Spring is a time of renewal. After a long, dark and bare winter, life begins to stir and nature gives us a bounty of tonic herbs to help cleanse and nourish your body and it's systems. I pride myself on being a "real person" and not a "Food Puritan" so this body cleanse is totally do-able. In the past I could never get through any torture cleanses no matter how hard I tried! I need FOOD darn-it!
Here is a Body Cleanse that works for real folks just like you and me. It will help to flush out the toxins in your system, clear your mind and help you lose weight naturally.
Begin your Spring Body Cleanse on or about March 20th (the Spring Equinox). Around that date begin eating bitter Spring greens such as dandelion leaves, mustard greens, chickweed, wild sorrel, etc every day. I make a salad from some assorted bitter greens and then drizzle it lightly with EVOO (extra virgin olive oil), a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a sprinkle of Himalayan salt and fresh pepper.
One Month Cleanse Directions:
- Cut out all sugar (natural or not) and alcohol for one month ( I know that's torture in itself… but you can make soooo many different desserts. Just check out my sugar-free desserts tab here )
- Drink at least 8 cups of water per day (Ideally, you should drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces per day. For example, if you weigh 140 pounds drink 70 ounces of water per day)
- Eat one completely raw meal per day for one month ( there are a ba-gillion raw food websites. Go get some recipes and eat some RAW food!)
- Drink a fresh vegetable juice at least once a day (Below are two of my favorites)
3 CAAL Energy Boosting Juice
Kale and spinach
1 celery stalk with leafy tops
1 large carrot
1/4 yam (orange flesh)
1/4 beet
1 cup cabbage, shredded
ginger chunk
- Juice all ingredients in a juicer and enjoy! This juice will help you improve your health, inner vitality and give you loads of energy!
3 CAAL Alkalizing Green Juice
Makes 1 full-day's supply
2 large cucumbers, cut in quarters
1-2 heads celery with leafy tops
5 leaves dinosaur kale
1/4 bunch cilantro ( super AWESOME for your health!!!)
1 lemon, juiced
Optional: 1 apple with seeds
- Juice all ingredients. Store in sealed glass jars, filled all the way. Alkalizing Green Juice will keep for 1 day.

The Beast haunted house good for a fright and a horrifying Friday night
- Oct. 3, 2012
- 0 Comments
- udkne.ws/T1zSxJ
October has arrived and with it brings chilly mornings, pumpkin-flavored everything and Halloween. Lucky for us, one of America's top-rated haunted houses is within our reach.
The Beast, located in the West Bottoms of Kansas City, Mo., is only one of four haunted houses owned by Full Moon Productions. Although it stands alongside The Edge of Hell, Macabre Cinema and The Chambers of Edgar Allen Poe, The Beast is the largest and one of the most terrifying haunted houses in America.
Michelle Tucker, a senior from Wichita, is visiting the haunted houses this week with hopes that they live up to their reputation.
"I haven't been [to The Beast] so it's a little bit more exciting, and I've heard good recommendations about it," Tucker said. "I think it would be better than the ones in Topeka."
Tim Diaz, 24, and Alicia Barrett, 23, travelled two hours for the beastly happenings. Diaz has walked through other Full Moon haunted houses but never experienced The Beast. He is anxious to see what is in store, he said.
For the awaiting groups outside, The Beast has provided video footage of horrified patrons and an over-sized werewolf that stalks the front gates.
"It's almost like they are warning you of the horrors to come." Barrett said.
Once allowed inside, The Beast offers a 40-minute nightmare housing dark mazes, a foggy werewolf forest, Jack the Ripper's London streets and alligator-infested swamps. The Beast prides itself on having an open layout design with no lines moving through the scenes. The house wants every guest to be a part of the action rather than simply viewing.
While inside the Werewolf Forest, guests are forced to find the exit in total darkness. "It drives up every abandonment issue one could ever have," The Beast's website read. Werewolves stalk the forest every 30 minutes to aid the frantically lost or scare the frantically looking.
If guests manage to make their way through the entire haunted house, the only outlet is a four-story slide that is "straight down and faster than you might find comfortable." Once completed, guests have the option of enjoying a snack bar and gift shop.
"The slide probably scared me the most out of everything," Diaz said. "It was just a lot of darkness – more finding your way around than things actually being scary."
Barrett disagreed.
"It was plenty scary for me," she said. "There was this guy basically blocking a doorway. You have to move around him with him standing inches away from you – and a guy with a chainsaw. I had my eyes closed the whole time."
Ticket pricing varies on night but can range from $23 to $27 per haunted house. Bundling for more than one haunted house is an option. Parking and Hay Ride to and from the houses are free. Hours of operation vary, but the houses are normally open Thursday through Sunday. Check out www.kcbeast.com for more information.
