The following incidents were reported by the from Aug. 20 to 25. The information was compiled from police reports.
Missing wedding ring
A resident of the 8500 block of Timber Trail reported that a wedding ring was missing on Aug. 25. The resident said the ring, which is valued at about $26,000, had been stored in a jewelry box on a shelf with a perfume bottle on top. The resident put the ring in the jewelry box on Monday and hadn't seen the perfume bottle disturbed. She noticed the missing ring at about 6:20 p.m. on Aug. 24 and called police the next morning.
Alleged Theft from AT&T
On Aug. 24, two AT&T employees stopped by the station to report that an iPhone and an iPad were missing from their work desks. The employee whose iPhone was missing said he had last seen it around 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 23. He had locked it in a drawer in his desk on the third floor of the building. The employee said the drawer had been tampered with and pulled open. The iPad had been taken from an unlocked drawer in a different desk in the same office. The iPad was last seen around 12:30 p.m. on Aug. 23.
The iPhone is worth about $650 and the iPad is worth about $600. Both employees noticed them missing in the morning and neither could think of anyone who would want to steal them. The office requires a swipe card to enter.
Truck hits bridge, damages car
A driver stopped by the station on Aug. 20 to report that a semi-truck had struck a bridge spanning Interstate 77, showering her car with debris. The semi-trailer had been hauling another truck, and the driver was able to get photos on the camera on her phone. Police determined that the driver's car was covered in debris, as well as small scratches and dents, and that there were fresh scratch marks on the Valley Parkway bridge. The Ohio Department of Transportation was notified and a bridge inspection was completed the next day.

Soldier from the Shenandoah Valley
My name is Stephen. I'm from the Shenandoah Valley, VA. I love my old Suburban. In fact it's my second one. This one is a 1989 Suburban with the Silverado trim. It's an R2500, with the 454 and TH400 trannsmission. I have the big 10" full floating rear end. My Dad bought this for me right before my first deployment to Afghanistan, knowing that I had been looking for years to replace my first one. She was a 1988 GMC C1500 Suburban Sierra Classic. I took her to 298,000 miles, but the fly wheel broke right before I went back to school in my early 20's. I didn't have any money to fix her, and I knew she had lived a good life, but it was time to put her down. I spent the next 4 years looking for the right one, when my Dad surprised me with "Big Ugly". I do have plans for her, one of which is to give to one of my children one day. She has dual exhaust, I repainted her a few years ago the original Midnight Blue. I rebuilt the transmission only about 6000 miles ago. I haven't done much to her interior except fix the headliner with RealTree Woodland Camo pattern fabric. I love the look of it. I want to eventually put 4 wheel drive under her, but I'm going to have to wait for a bit. I'll put up some pics. Glad to be here!

2011 Draft: Baseball America's Top 200 ProspectsBy
At this time in two weeks, the 2011 draft will be coming to an end. Hard to believe it's so close. Baseball America posted their list of the top 200 prospects today, and it's free for all to see. You do need a subscription to see the scouting reports, however (1-50, 51-100, 101-150, 151-200). Rice 3B Anthony Rendon still ranks number one, but high school RHP Dylan Bundy has jumped everyone and claimed the number two spot. UCLA RHP Gerrit Cole, Virginia LHP Danny Hultzen, and UCLA RHP Trevor Bauer round out the top five. The free list gives you each player's statistics, so that's cool.

I don't think it's free. I'm being asked for a login.
Nevermind. I misread. Buy t-shirts.
Any opinions on B.A. Vollmuth (SMU SS/3b)? If he could stay at SS then he would be a monster because he seems to hit well. But in videos he looks too large to stay at short.
Before later in this season he played purely SS but later moved to (I'm not if it's a tired thing or he can't handle it but he looks big in the linked video). As far as offense, the guy seems to flat out hit and would be a great hitting SS and even a good offensive 3b. On the defensive side, I haven't found much but BA has him ranked 63 and I've seen him ranked as high as 36 (but I don't remember where). Here's some info (the little I can find on him).
B.A. Vollmuth is a guy who jumps out for the bat speed, compact stroke, hip rotation, head down, firm front, hard contact…need I say more, I liked him. Watch for yourself and decide. I wish I could have seen him play a little more than I did, but thanks to some very hard work, we were able to get this BP round on film. Take it away, B.A. I pity the fool who thinks you can't hit.
http://baseballbeginnings.com/.....muth-video (with a video inside of him hitting).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....re=related (a nice profile/interview)
For some reason I can't even find a video of him fielding.

NORMAN — OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Los Angeles Lakers were looking to make a statement. After climbing to within two games of the final spot in the Western Conference playoffs, they needed a victory over one of the elite teams to prove they were for real.
The Lakers found that test in Oklahoma City against the defending conference champions. Even though a battered and beat up L.A. squad fought down to the final minutes, they still fell 122-105 Tuesday at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
"I told these guys they are good," Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said. "They are probably the best team in the West. We need to measure up against it. We knew that two things were going to happen. We need to make the playoffs and then get Pau (Gasol) back and then we will see. "
The Lakers (30-31) had their chances to steal the win. Steve Nash drained a 3-pointer to cut the lead to five, Oklahoma City scored four straight, including a Serge Ibaka 3-pointer to push advantage to nine with 3:39 left.
The Thunder (44-16) forced Kobe Bryant to give the ball up and the Lakers were unable to make the open shots. In the final three minutes Dwight Howard fouled out and World Peace injured his ankle and had to leave the game.
Oklahoma City put the game away with back to back dunks from Ibaka and Russell Westbrook that got the Thunder faithful on their feet.
"This time of the year, our crowd is always like that," Westbrook said. "The Lakers came in and basically everybody said it was a must win. We needed the win to. We came out with a sense of urgency as well."

ASHEVILLE, N.C. — In a 68-49 road win over UNC Asheville on Thursday, it was freshman Erica Williams who fueled a 19-0 second half run and finished the game with 21 points and 14 rebounds as the Winthrop women remained undefeated in Big South basketball play.
The win improved Winthrop to 9-3 overall and 4-0 in league play while Asheville dropped to 5-9 and 2-3.
Williams, who recorded her second double-double of the season, connected on 10 of 12 field goals and came up with nine points during that second half surge after Asheville had erased a seven-point halftime deficit to tie the game at 40-40 with 14:04 left in the contest. Just after the Bulldogs' KJ Weaver had tied the game for the first time with a layup, Williams responded with a bucket inside the paint at the 13:42 mark to spark the run.
Dequesha McClanahan, who missed a triple-double by two rebounds, gave the Eagles some breathing room with a 15-foot jumper to make it a four-point game.
Besides Williams' game-high 21 points, McClanahan finished with 13 points and also dished out 10 assists to go along with eight rebounds. Wright finished with 14 after her hot start. The Bulldogs were led by Paige Love with 11 while Gwyn had 10.

Esquire, the purveyor of printed pages packed with ads and male-centric eye-candy, has released its list of 2010 automotive award winners. The top award is the Car of the Year and the magazine is handing that title to the 2010 Audi S4. Esquire makes a strong statement behind its reasoning, and it's hard to argue with its logic.
After putting our own butts in the driver's seat, we felt the B8 S4 was a wonderful leap forward over the past B6 and B7 iterations, particularly with the new supercharged V6 and trick torque vectoring sport differential.Numbers and stats are starting points, but we believe that the Esquire Car of the Year should make you feel something deep in your gut. You should lust for it and dream about it, but it shouldn't be an impossible goal. It must be attainable for the average man. It should sit in front of your house or office without drawing attention to itself and tackle four seasons of day-to-day transportation with ease. Yet crucially, sometimes, without warning, it must make you snatch the keys off the wall, haul off to the country and just drive.
Esquire hands out more than just a COTY award as well. The magazine scoured the current crop of automotive excellence and handed out check pluses for: Domestic Car of the Year, Hybrid of the Year, Most Awe-Inspiring Car Built This Year, Compact Car of the Year, Most Beautiful Car of the Year, Truck of the Year, Diesel Car of the Year, Best Foreign Comeback, Best Domestic Comeback and Best Expression of Automotive Passion. Who wins? You're going to have to make the jump to find out. And there's a nice little video of the Audi S4 happily accepting its award.

Esquire Car Awards for Automotive Excellence Bestowed to Runners-Up
NEW YORK, N.Y. (September 13, 2010) – Esquire magazine named today the 2010 Audi S4 as the "Esquire Car of the Year." To select the second annual award for the year's most stunning and aggressive yet attainable vehicle, Esquire editors spent six months driving dozens of cars hundreds of miles, carving up mountain roads, slogging through traffic and blasting down interstates. The Esquire Car of the Year appears in the magazine's October issue, on newsstands September 21st. The 2010 Audi S4 succeeds last year's Esquire Car of the Year, the Ford Taurus SHO.
After months of test-driving, the choice was unanimous among the drivers. According to Esquire: "When word got out that Audi was redesigning the S4 for 2010, no one expected the mold to be broken. But break it did." Though the new S4 features a number of upgrades including a new, direct-injected and supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 and increased torque and fuel economy, the real achievement is the way the engine blends into the whole car. The magazine continues, "Gone is the look-at-me beast of old. The new S4 is as confident and mature as other sport sedans are loud and insecure...That you can snag an S4 without spending a fortune is impressive; that it costs thousands less than a similarly equipped BMW or Mercedes-Benz is nothing short of a miracle."
In explaining its criteria, Esquire notes that numbers are just one way to measure best of class: "Speed, grip, handling, even the timbre of an engine's howl – we can measure that stuff down to a fraction...And yet this misses the point. Cars are subjective, emotional things. Car awards are even more subjective. Numbers and stats are starting points, but we believe that the Esquire Car of the Year should make you feel something deep in your gut. You should lust for it and dream about it, but it shouldn't be an impossible goal. It must be attainable for the average man."
"Over several months and many miles, we drove cars -- cars that are the most powerful, most attractive and most thrilling that the auto industry has to offer," says Esquire Editor-in-Chief David Granger. "While a number of the cars we tested were terrific, the Audi S4 truly deserved top honors. Its rare combination of speed, force, design, and price makes the end result a triumph."
In addition to the Esquire Car of the Year award, the magazine bestowed a number of additional honors for the "Esquire Car Awards for Automotive Excellence," saluting best new and current vehicle releases:
• Domestic Car of the Year – 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe: It's bold as hell. Everything American luxury – and a Cadillac – should be.
• Hybrid of the Year – 2011 Honda CR-Z: What we have here isn't quite a sports car, but it's not the typical hybrid sleeping pill, either. It's something the green-car world greatly needs – sporty fun.
• Most Awe-Inspiring Car Built This Year – 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG: It apes the form factor: You climb in through a freaking hatch, like an astronaut or a test pilot. With this, it seems, you could go anywhere and do anything. Isn't that what cars are all about?
• Compact Car of the Year – 2011 Ford Fiesta: The Fiesta somehow offers the poise and quiet comfort of a car twice its size. It's also cheap, easy on fuel, and a barrel of giggles in corners.
• The Most Beautiful Car of the Year – 2010 Aston Martin Rapide: The Rapide is the Helen of Troy of four-door sedans, a 470-hp V-12-powered ball of white light that makes every other car on the planet look like a rusty shopping cart. This is art.
• Truck of the Year – 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor: Long-travel Fox Racing suspension, 35-inch tires, and an optional 411-hp 6.2-liter V-8 allow you to pull an Incredible Hulk and leap over most of the continent without breaking a sweat. Overkill? Exactly.
• Diesel Car of the Year – 2010 Volkswagen Golf TDI: Whereas most inexpensive diesels feel like the rolling equivalent of sensible shoes, the 140-hp Volkswagen Golf TDI makes no bones about its sporting bent. A whopping 236 pound-feet of torque at 1,750 rpm means you'll rarely want for tire-chirping thrust, and a small, nimble frame lets you chase down sports cars in the curves.
• Best Foreign Comeback – 2011 Jaguar XJ: The new XJ's bones mimic its predecessor but almost everything else was ditched. The suspension is supple, the steering sublime, and for the first time in years, people stop and stare as a big Jaguar wafts by. Tradition is fine, but sometimes you have to reboot. This is how.
• Best Domestic Comeback – 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee: The Cherokee is blessed with bank-vault rigidity, sharp road manners, and an unapologetically luxurious interior. It is a welcome sight, the kind of SUV that the brand, and America, deserve.
• Best Expression of Automotive Passion – 2010 Infiniti G37 Convertible: In the end, Infiniti followed passion rather than practicality. The G37's trunk is a thimble with a lid on it, but the curves are hot. You have to love that heart.

For local high school cross country teams, the work that started in the heat of summer will come down to what they do in the chill of fall.
It's region/area meet week for programs in Murray and Whitfield counties, with the top four teams and the top six individuals in each meet advancing to the Georgia High School Association's state meets on Nov. 9 at Carrollton High School.
For some, though, just getting to state is only the minimum goal. Coahulla Creek's boys are among those legitimately shooting for a region title, and if they're successful they'll be the school's first team to win a league championship since it opened in 2011.
The Colts and Lady Colts will join the rest of Region 5-3A — including North Murray — on Tuesday at Dellinger Park in Cartersville for the region meet, which begins at 4 p.m.
Christian Heritage is in the Area 4-A private school meet at 10:30 a.m. Thursday at Rome's Darlington School, Morris Innovative and Murray County will compete in the Region 7-2A meet at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday at Georgia Highlands College in Rome, and Dalton, Northwest Whitfield and Southeast Whitfield will race in the Region 7-4A meet at 4:30 p.m. Friday at Roper Park in Jasper.
Coahulla Creek's boys have made going to state fairly routine, advancing the past two seasons as the region's runner-up. Last year, the Colts were second to Cartersville at Dellinger Park.
However, in the only meet the Colts have competed against the Purple Hurricanes at this season — the Cass-Cartersville Invitational at Dellinger Park — Coahulla Creek finished third, behind two Atlanta schools and safely ahead of Cartersville.
"The one team that gave us a challenge the last two years — and we haven't run against all the teams in the region — was Cartersville," Colts coach Josh Deslattes said.
Coahulla Creek also has two runners with hopes of an individual region championship, Deslattes said. Sadoth Fraire, a senior, and freshman Walt Douglas continue passing one another for the No. 1 spot on the team.
"(Douglas) has the fastest time on the team for the year, but he and Sadoth have gone back and forth all season as the No. 1 guy on the team," Deslattes said.
Familiarity with the region meet course shouldn't be a problem. For the Coahulla Creek runners who were also part of the team last season, this will be their fourth time running the Dellinger Park course in two years.
"They've become pretty comfortable with it," Deslattes said.
• Northwest's softball team heads to Columbus with a chance to repeat as the Class 4A state champion.
The Lady Bruins (32-6) swept LaGrange and Marist in best-of-three series in the first two rounds of this year's state playoffs, earning a spot in the eight-team, double-elimination state tournament for the fourth time in five years. Northwest has had its share of success in Columbus, too — in addition to last year's title, the Lady Bruins were third in 2009 and fourth in 2011.
All state tournament games will be played at the South Commons Softball Complex. The Lady Bruins start tourney play with Wayne County at 4:15 p.m. Thursday. If they win, the Lady Bruins will play again at 7:45 p.m., facing the winner of the opening matchup between Woodland-Henry and Madison County.
The latter is quite familiar to Northwest as a postseason foe. Among the past meetings between the Lady Bruins and the Lady Red Raiders were last year's title game, which Northwest won 2-1 on Bayli Cruse's walk-off home run in the eighth inning.
If the Lady Bruins lose to Wayne County, they won't play again until 11 a.m. Friday. If they beat Wayne County then lose their next game, they'll return to action at 3 p.m. Friday.
With a pair of wins on Thursday, though, Northwest won't play again until 7 p.m. Friday, with a win in that winners' bracket championship clinching a spot in Saturday's 12:20 p.m. Class 4A title game.
• Local sports fans who know the name Hannah Locke have extra reason to play a round of golf Saturday at Indian Trace Golf Course in Chatsworth.
The Helping Hannah Heal Golf Tournament will begin with registration at 7 a.m. The cost is $300 per four-person team, which includes lunch, and proceeds will help pay the medical expenses for Locke, a student-athlete at Coahulla Creek who was injured in a car accident earlier this year.
The select-shot tournament will award prizes to the top three teams in each flight. For more information, call Janice Helton at (706) 673-5353 or Ken Helton at (706) 463-2430.
• GHSA swimmers took to the pool for their first official practice of the 2012-13 season a week ago, and basketball players and wrestlers will take to the courts and mats today.

Showing up at Ristuccia Arena wasn't enough for the Woburn boys hockey team, even if it appeared that it would be for just over 44 minutes.
The Tanners, widely picked as a top team in the Middlesex League and the state, outshot host Wilmington 39-12 in their season-opening tilt on Wednesday, and took a 2-1 edge into the final minute of play.
But the Wildcats clawed back when Cody McGowan jammed home the game-tying tally with 21 seconds remaining, and Woburn settled for a 2-2 draw.
"We have to play with a little more urgency," said Woburn head coach Jim Duran. "I think we think we're that good that we're going to step out on the ice and win the game, and that's just not going to happen."
Daniel Holland gave the locals a 1-0 edge with 9:06 remaining in the opening period with a power play goal from point blank range, but Wilmington's Luke Foley knotted the score with 2:46 left in the frame on a redirected power play goal of his own.
Keith Carpenter gave the Tanners another lead with 8:43 left in the second period, and the marker stood until the Wildcats' dramatic goal.
While Duran was frustrated with his team's finishing ability, Wilmington head coach Steve Scanlon was excited to earn the tie as his team started a five game stretch without two of his top line forwards due to suspension.
"There are nights when you're outplayed and you're thrilled to get a tie, and tonight was one of them," said Scanlon. "We were outplayed, but we did play hard all night."

MOORE — It was a game-changing play. With Westmoore trailing 6-0, Jhames West had driven his team down to Broken Arrow's 2-yard line with just seconds left in first half.
Normally, coach Billy Langford would just run the ball behind his huge offensive line and pick up the two yards needed with ease. But this time he went away from his team's bread and butter and called a pass play. It's a call he most likely wants to take back.
The Tigers' Ryan Alger intercepted West's pass at the 1-yard line and returned it 99 yards for a touchdown. BA took a 13 -0 lead into halftime and the Jaguars were unable to make up the lost ground and fell 26-13.
"We still had chances in the second half," Westmoore coach Billy Langford said. "Had it cut to seven. And just can't quite get over the hump. Big challenge this week. We will see what happens."
The loss dropped Westmoore (6-4) to third place in District 6A-2 and prevents them from hosting a first-round game in the upcoming playoffs. Instead, it will now travel to Tulsa on Friday to face No. 1 Union (8-2) at 7:30 p.m.
"I hope our guys understand that Jenks Union, Broken Arrow and Owasso are probably about the same," Langford said. "I think all those teams are pretty much very comparable. Hope it will give ours guys confidence to go if we play a good, clean game, and make the makes we need to make and execute the right way, we will have a good chance to win."
However, the road has not been kind to Westmoore this year. In four games away from Moore Stadium, the Jaguars have compiled a 2-2 record.
However, it's two wins came against teams with a combined record of 7-13. Its losses were to No. 1 Jenks and No. 3 Broken Arrow.

Coconut - crafts
|Image: Coconut husk fibres being bashed to separate them, and then twisted to make tough coir.
Coir fibre is traditionally used to make fishnets and bind together frames for houses. Coir swells slightly when put in water, so it used to be used for binding and plugging the spaces between planks on hulls of boats. Marco Polo used coir to sew planks together for ship building. The best coir is used to make matting, rugs and carpets. Lower grade coir is used to make ropes, brushes and even household doormats that most people in the UK use every day to wipe their feet.
Leaves, stems and fruit
Leaves of coconut palms are traditionally woven together to make baskets, fans, hats and mats. The leaves have been used to thatch buildings and make brooms. The trunk of the palm can be used like wood to make furniture, household utensils and for building. The hard coconut shell is perfectly shaped to make drinking bowls, spoons, ladles, hookah pipes, salad servers and rubber latex collecting cups. They are also carved to make decorative objects such as picture frames.

GASTONIA, N.C. -- Gastonia police are searching for a suspect in an armed robbery inside a Walmart on Tuesday evening.
The robbery occured around 9 p.m. Tuesday in Money Center of the Walmart on East Franklin Street. Police said the suspect walked into the store and put some items in a shopping cart before going to the Money Center. There, police said, he robbed the center's clerk at gunpoint before running out of the store.

If you live outside the U.S. and want to really feel like you're part of the Super Bowl action, you're in luck this year. For the first time, international broadcasts in high definition will feature 5.1 surround sound, thanks to the joint efforts of THX, Neural Audio and the NFL.
It's the first 5.1 surround sound broadcast for the big game internationally, which will be from 57 broadcasts to 223 countries and territories in 30 languages, with the HD signal going to 30 broadcast partners and 28 countries.
Game time on Sunday from Glendale, AZ, kicks off at 6:30 p.m. EST between the Patriots and Giants.
Neural-THX Surround technology lets broadcasts deliver the multichannel audio using minimal bandwidth over stereo channels, the company says. For the Super Bowl, the technology will let the NFL's on-site broadcast teams produce the game in 5.1, then send the sound mix in stereo format to audiences worldwide, whose A/V receivers that feature Neural-THX surround can decode to 5.1.
The technology is in about 70 percent of new A/V receivers from the major manufacturers, the company says.

County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef announced that in just under one year, Rockland County residents have collectively saved more than $500,000 while using the ProAct Prescription Discount Card Program. The program was exclusively endorsed by Rockland County Legislature in June 2011. Since the program's implementation, residents have filled more than 13,000 prescriptions saving an average of 43%, or $40.85 on each prescription they filled.
According to Vanderhoef, the county and ProAct worked together in an effort to help uninsured and underinsured residents obtain financial relief at the pharmacy when filling their prescriptions. When residents utilize the discount card, they can expect to see savings ranging from 10 to 20 percent on brand name prescriptions and 20-70 percent on generic prescriptions.
The discount card program also offers residents of Rockland County the opportunity to save on vision, hearing, and LASIK services as well as access to a low cost dental coverage plan.
"For residents who lack full prescription coverage, or for those who have no coverage at all, a trip to the pharmacy can be very costly," said Vanderhoef. "By taking advantage of this cost free program Rockland County residents can see sizeable savings on each of the prescriptions that they fill."
Rockland County is among the 51 counties across New York State that exclusively endorses the Prescription Discount Card Program. Combined, these counties have saved residents across the state more than $84 million, while filling more than 2.7 million prescriptions. The discount card program is currently saving residents an average of 52%, or just over $30 per prescription.
Anyone in the county is eligible to use the program and receive savings. Simply present the discount card at a local pharmacy and receive the discounts immediately.
Area pharmacies and the Rockland County Clerk's Office, Rockland County Health Department, and the Rockland County Department of Social Services have been supplied with an inventory of discount cards. These cards are provided to residents who do not currently have a discount card of their own. Residents can also go online and print their own discount card by visiting www.NYRxDiscountCard.com
ProAct, Inc. is a Pharmacy Benefit Management Company based in central
New York and a division of Kinney Drugs.

Brandi Glanville and Camille Grammer seemed to hit it off on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills's second season but unfortunately, things didn't go so smoothly on season 2 -- at least according to Brandi. In a new Twitter post, Brandi reveals what went down between them.
"Calm down people," Brandi wrote. "I like @TheRealCamilleG but she hurt my feelings this season and we are not close like we were last year. #fact." While fans don't know exactly what happened, these two are simply part of different alliances. Brandi and Adrienne Maloof were at war during filming and Adrienne even served Brandi with a cease and desist order. So, the fact that Camille and Adrienne are close says a lot.
Shortly after Brandi wrote what she wrote, Camille took to Twitter to tell her side of the story. "Brandi and I are not as close. And things were said that hurt both of us. She also said hurtful things towards me," she tweeted.
It looks like fans will have to wait until season 3 airs to see more of their fallout, but they won't have to wait long. Season 3 premieres on Bravo in just two weeks!

It's not unexpected that a new buzzword would be found for liberals who dare to act out their constitutional privilege of peaceful assembly: "class warfare."
This is not warfare, it's drawing the attention of citizens to the fact of corruption in our society. Just read the paper:
Sports – college football coaches making many millions each year while tuitions rise
Business – take a bow, Mr. Madoff and all the suits at Lehman Bros. as well as too many bankers and lawyers to mention
Government – an account of the billions spent during the last electoral cycle is evidence enough
Who is giving that money and to what end? A politician will of course answer the call of a donor, and listen to a lobbyist whose business has contributed lest the faucet of dollars is cut off for his or her next campaign.
Let's look at where we are now, living in a corrupt society that is only getting more corrupt. Let's wage a war against corruption and drop the facile slogan of "class warfare."

Warmoesstraat starts on the north-east corner of the square. We are at number 129.
From Central Train Station:
From the big square outside the station, head towards the Victoria Hotel and follow the Damrak avenue, for about 200 meters. Turn left into Oudebrugsteeg (at the end of the cruise boats harbour).

city, seat (1907) of Comanche county, southwestern Oklahoma, U.S., on the Cache Creek. Originally part of the Choctaw-Chickasaw lands in the Indian Territory, the area was settled in 1869 by the Kiowa and Comanche Indians. A settlement near Fort Sill, a military post established to control the Indians, was organized as a city in 1901; it was named for General Henry W. Lawton, who was involved in the campaign to capture the Apache leader Geronimo. Indian lands were then opened to auction, and more than 25,000 white settlers came to participate.

Thread: Heater Hose Connector Tool
Heater Hose Connector Tool
Hi all.
I have a 92 surburban (and a 94 C-1500), BOTH have the stupid connector at the back of the intake for the heater hose.
I have 3 different "connector tool sets" and NONE of them do the job. (unless it's like a screwdriver or something.)
Anyone know of a part number or cheat to get the line out of the connector ????
I found this post (thanks to Steve for keeping it alive
- - - Updated - - -
Well, no need for the tool, as the connector in the intake broke with just a light touch (junk pot-metal).
Looking at the threads on the connector, they appear to be 1/2 NPT male SO...LOL,, the crap left in the cast-alum intake, I can carefully chisel out with a mini-chisel, and use a bronze 1/2 NPT Male to 3/4 barbed fitting (Ironically from our heating supplier (Fitting made by "BII")).
Will post an update shortly to the outcome (even photos).
- - - updated - - -
The Culprit, (Look for the somewhat Shiny hole in the background (broken part of connector in intake manifold......)
The part that needed replacing (hose leak).
close-up of broken connector (NOT original problem).
Basic tools (And replacement parts, clamps not shown).
Tap (1/2" NPT-14) cleaning threads after chiseling out broken part of old connector... (about an hour...)
FIXED !!!!! (Just need to install new hose and clamps, then reassemble everything I needed to get out of the way, to get to the broken connector.
The pipe tap was about 26 bucks (I live in Canada) the fitting and the chunk of 3/4" heater hose was 9 bucks, so all in all (NOT including my time....) I saved 38 bucks from the OEM part at GM....
The thing I know, is this engine is going to be rebuilt in about 3 months, was it worth it ?? yes, knowing that the hose can now be serviced WITHOUT anything special, AND if needed, can be done "on the side of the road" in an emergency.........

Merck supports the use of nanotechnology to develop innovative drugs, vaccines and consumer products that address the unmet medical and wellness needs of people and animals.
Nanotechnology broadly describes the use of very small materials—ranging from the extreme size reductions of normal materials to unique, minute substances such as carbon nanotubes and other exotic materials.
The testing required for all drugs ensures that nano-based pharmaceuticals are safe and effective for patient use. Our safety and health professionals closely monitor the developments in this area; based on current knowledge of nanoparticles, our existing methods for assessing risks to workers and the environment are valid, and our existing controls are well suited to minimize exposure to employees and the environment.
Examples of how Merck is using nanotechnology:
- Human Health: EMEND® (aprepitant), uses a nanoscale milling approach to make its granules very small, so that they are more easily absorbed by the digestive tract
- Merck Animal Health (Intervet): Nanoscale milling is used for the active ingredient in PANACUR® (fenbendazole) to produce a stable and more easily re-suspendable formulation
- Merck Consumer Health: Some Coppertone® products contain micronized zinc oxide, which provides improved broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection from the sun's damaging rays, reducing the risk of sunburn, early skin aging and skin cancer. Nanoparticles of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) have been extensively studied, and current scientific data, including our own studies, demonstrate that skin contact with these particles does not represent a health concern.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you employ a little elbow grease, something you desperately want could come within your grasp. However, don't rely on Lady Luck to do everything for you.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Lucky you: You have a very dependable friend who will come to your aid when you need it the most. Your pal will help out quietly, but don't let that stop you from showing your gratitude.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Your brain will be like a sponge, enabling you to absorb whatever knowledge you need. You'll use it advantageously, to boot.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) — One of your best assets is your ability to fit well into others' projects, making your input and presence an integral part of the whole.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) — You've done your best to continuously improve your negotiating skills. This will become evident when an agreement needs hammering out.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Someone you helped in the past has been eager to find a way to repay you in some manner. What he or she ends up doing will be worth more than your original act.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Something quite pleasant as well as a bit extraordinary is likely to develop through the good offices of certain contacts. What transpires will have far-reaching effects.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — The life span of a rewarding endeavor can be expanded if you seize the opportunity. However, it may take a bit of cooperation from a few of your associates.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — If there is something important that you want to discuss with another, the best place to do so would be in a social setting. However, try to lead up to the subject gradually.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Something that could enhance your material interests might develop. It could be quite surprising, but don't waste time being shocked — act on it immediately.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Some good news that you've longed for might finally arrive. If this is the case, chances are it'll come sometime after lunch.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Instead of trying hard to make things happen, you'd be wise to let events take their natural course. Besides, you're likely to do better when you're not in the driver's seat.

Foursquare launching checkin import API to limited set of developers
Foursquare announced today that they're opening up a new API to allow other services to import historical checkins into foursquare. With the recent announcement that Gowalla will be closing in January, it would seem such an announcement is aimed squarely at transitioning those users to foursquare.
The form where developers can apply to import their historical place data says:
We're allowing select applications to create historical check-ins for their users. The expected intent of these applications will be to import check-in activity from other services, or to bootstrap past check-ins from other sources of location history.
Up to now, foursquare's API has strictly allowed checkins stamped with the current time (except for a brief period early on where checkins could be imported from Dodgeball). This new API would essentially allow checkins with a timestamp sometime in the past.
That means Gowalla (or a third-party developer working with their API) could transition users' checkins — and possibly even photos — to foursquare. While it's not the Gowalla experience they've come to love, it would certainly be a better end than simply throwing away as many as three years worth of historical location data.
While they're the most obvious example, Gowalla users aren't the only ones who stand to benefit from such an API. There are plenty of services that keep a location history of sorts whose data could be imported into foursquare.
UPDATE: One more note from foursquare's developer announcement: "Imported check-ins will only count towards a user's history and recommendations… they will not affect the gaming aspects of foursquare (e.g. they won't affect mayorships, badges, etc.)."

Watauga Arts Council leaves Jones House
As of Monday evening, May 14, the Watauga County Arts Council has completely vacated the Jones House Community Center on King Street in downtown Boone, moving to a new office location at the Appalachian Enterprise Center.
The move ends the Arts Council's 26-year tenure at the Jones House, a home donated to the town of Boone in the 1980s. The arts council decided last week to turn down a contract and lease extension from the town of Boone for management of the Jones House through Sept. 30.
In April, the Boone Town Council voted to create a new Cultural Resources Board to manage the Jones House and other town cultural facilities and to approve a contract extension and lease agreement that, if accepted, would provide for the arts council's use of the facility through the summer without interruption of programs.
Mike Wise, president of the Watauga County Arts Council, said the terms of the contract allowed the town too much control over arts council activities.
"You get into trouble when you have a governmental entity saying what is and isn't art," Wise said. "The arts council really needed to maintain its independence."
The arts council board of directors met May 3 and voted to propose a counteroffer to the town. Under the counteroffer, the arts council would remain at the Jones House on a month-to-month basis through June 30 and would continue to rent space for the folklorist and a storage closet through Sept. 30.
Doing so would allow the folklorist to continue arts council programs, such as Summer Concerts on the Lawn, summer music lessons and Thursday night jam sessions at the Jones House, according to the proposal.
The Boone Town Council considered the counteroffer in closed session May 7 and decided to re-extend its original contract extension offer. The arts council board met again last week and voted to reject the contract and vacate the Jones House immediately.
"We offered the arts council a generous deal, in my opinion, through Sept. 30 of this year, with the main goal of a cooperative, easy transition between this year and next year, with the main goal of maintaining programming at the Jones House," Boone Town Council member Andy Ball said. "That was our goal and is still our goal. I'm not sure why they didn't accept that."
Watauga County Arts Council executive director Cherry Johnson said she expressed concern about what she called an "open-ended clause" in the proposed contract, which reads, "The parties agree that other matters may also arise during the term which may cause the town … to make additional requests for information or assistance from the arts council, and cooperation as to these, too, is expected."
Johnson said the N.C. Arts Council advised the county organization to move now rather than in the fall to build support and momentum during the busy summer season.
Johnson said the Committee of 100 has donated office space for the arts council at the Appalachian Enterprise Center, located adjacent to Watauga County human services facilities on King Street, for an indefinite amount of time. The Committee of 100 is an organization of business owners and economic developers in the county.
In addition, another party has offered to donate separate gallery space and retail space to the arts council at a location soon to be released, she said.
"We began to see opportunities," Wise said.
Because it has rejected the town's contract extension, the arts council will no longer receive monthly contract payments of about $3,400 from the town, nor will it receive the $15,000 annual contribution toward the folklorist position from Boone tourism development funds.
Because of this loss in funding, folklorist Mark Freed is no longer employed by the Watauga County Arts Council, but he could continue to work for the council on a contract basis, Johnson said.
The arts council is open to considering contracting with the town to present programs at town facilities, including the Jones House, she said. "We don't want to sever our relationship with the town," she said.
As of now, a location has not been finalized for the arts council's popular Summer Concerts on the Lawn series, which has taken place on the Jones House lawn for the past 19 years. The series is slated to begin June 1. Johnson said the council has an invitation to move the series to another location.
However, she emphasized, the arts council does not wish to discourage the town from presenting its own concert series at the Jones House. "We're not about competing," she said.
Summer music lessons may or may not take place this year, she said, but the Junior Appalachian Musicians program for youth will continue at a new location, beginning this fall.
In addition, Cheap Joe's Art Stuff has donated storage space to the council.
Relations between the town of Boone, Jones House Advisory Board and Watauga County Arts Council have been strained since the Boone Town Council voted one year ago to relocate the downtown development coordinator's office to the Jones House and expand Jones House hours to Saturdays.
"Working with the town over the past year has been rather stressful," Johnson said.
Despite the bumpy ride over the past year, however, Ball said he intends for the town to have a working relationship between the town, the arts council and the arts community.
"I'm hoping to contract them or find some arrangement where they're able to carry on the programs," Ball said. "This is not the end of the relationship I don't think."
Ball said the role of the Cultural Resources Board will primarily be related to property and resource management.
"The Cultural Resources Board has no intention to decide what is and what isn't appropriate art," he said.
The arts council will retain its phone number, which is (828) 264-1789. For more information on the council, visit http://www.watauga-arts.org.
