The Art of Mining
New York filmmaker Bill Morrison has mined the archives of the British Film Institute for stored original footage about the coal mining industry in the United Kingdom.
As a filmmaker, Morrison's signature is the use of archival footage to create impressionistic, rather poetic portraits of bygone eras in different places and eras. In The Miners' Hymns, the place is County Durham in North East England, and the time frame is roughly from the middle of the 19th century to the 1990s, when operations ceased at the area's collieries, and coal miners turned in their drills, pickaxes and shovels for jobs in service industries.
Using an extraordinary wealth of black and white archival footage -- some of which seems almost as gritty as the subject it covers -- Morrison's compilation takes us into the County Durham mines of yore -- to surface pits and underground -- following coal-covered laborers as they toil in the tunnels they've dug, extracting anthracite from the earth and delivering it for consumption.
The Quality of Life
The film shows us not only how the miners worked, but also how they lived, and how they protested egregious work conditions, and how they celebrated -- most notably at the Miners' Gala, a fancy dress bash held annually at Durham Cathedral.
Although coal mining is a notoriously dirty business, one in which laborers suffered ghastly work conditions, Morrison makes no political or social comments in the film. The only outright reference to hardship occurs through coverage of the miners' strike during the 1980s.
Impressions and Information
There is, in fact, no voice over narration, and the only hard information Morrison presents during the film is in the form of titles that identify the specific locations where the footage was shot.
Morrison doesn't use his found footage in strict chronological order, but mixes older and more recent sequences so that the film's overall arc has a timeless quality.
The Miners' Hymns is a collage of images that creates an impressionistic and rather poetic ideal of the history of coal mining. Instead of presenting statistics in voice over or graphics, the filmmakers create a depth of understanding by using an emotional and haunting original score, the work of Icelandic composer and co-director Johann Johannsson, whose mournful opus gives the film an elegiac note.
A Modern Twist
For the film's opening and closing, Morrison bookends the archival footage with beautifully shot scenic aerial shots of contemporary County Durham, where the former collieries that scarred the landscape are now covered over with lush greenery. The aerial photography sets the found footage into its modern context, and also suggests that earth heals itself beautifully -- if given the chance.
Morrison Is A Master
As a filmmaker, Morrison's approach to documentary composition is unique. The way in which he uses found archival footage is actually revelatory. As a result of Morrison's construction, The Miners' Hymns and his other films are charged with a very special dream like quality that is quite mesmerizing. Images and moments of juxtaposition stick with you long after you've seen the film.
The Miners' Hymns and Morrison's other films are best seen in theaters with large screens and superb sound systems. Unfortunately, The Miners' Hymns and the other films are rarely screened in theaters, but that's where you should see them, if you can -- even if it takes some effort to do so.

The Crimson/Oriole Double header boy's game got off to a late start on Friday at MGSH. It was the third game of the night on the main court. The JV game saw the Crimson make a Lazarus-like comeback to nearly put the game into overtime. In addition, maintenance had to change some of the lights in the gym after Angie Davison shot them out during the girls win over the Orioles.
In what has become a great night of basketball for both schools, the boy's game tipped off at 8:15, right after game management closed the doors. The atmosphere was great. Each student section updated their chants based on the FB season, Malone's pulled pork was being sold, a number of college basketball/ football coaches were present, current and retired staff from both high schools as well as the local basketball junkies were packed into every nook and cranny to watch this night play out.
The Orioles jumped out to a quick 10-1 lead and the Crimson had to quickly take a time out to regroup. Grant Kaufman and Brandon Barta made 3s and Jake Wieneke took a pass from Erik Olson on a slash to the basket to make the score 16-11. It was however, a sign of things to come as the Crimson chased the Orioles most of the game. Osseo got people to the block and either scored from there or on the kick-out. Osseo led 41-26 at the break.
In the Crimson's 5 game win streak leading up to this game, a much better second half was evident. That was the case last night as well. After being down by as much as 18 in the second half, the Crimson cut the lead to 5 at 48-53 on Matt Lindgren's hoop with about 10 minutes to play. Lindgren has come off the bench in the last 3 games and provided scoring when needed.
But the Orioles continued to get good looks and second chances. The Orioles were in the double bonus the last 6 minutes, compounding the Crimson's hope of a comeback. Both teams traded baskets down the stretch and Brycen Wojta's 3 made it 66-71 with 3 minutes to play. An Osseo timeout brought the Crimson crowd to their feet anticipating a comeback, but this wasn't the Orioles first rodeo, as they came out of the timeout and forced MG's hand as Bridge Tusler and Malik Wilson made key FT's to close out the win 74-68.
Both teams shot well from the field. Maple Grove shot 61% on 2pt FG and Osseo was 56%. Wilson saw extended time after Ian Theisen's foul trouble and had strong game finishing with 16 points. Wojta had 9 assists to go with his 17 points. Wieneke had 15 points, on a 6-11 shooting night. Olson had 11 with 11 boards and 4 blocks. Kaufman had 10.
Another byline is the stories behind the players. We watched a game with Mr. Football and a finalist. Or it was the Oriole who wrestled in 7th grade, now contributing on the basketball court, or the Crimson player who couldn't make even a 3rd traveling team who is now getting to play on this big stage. Everyone has a story about how they got there.
Better yet, we get to do it all over again in February.

Ironically, Chase Mobile on my iPad works fine (over wi-fi), but it does not work on my iPhone 4 over wi-fi. Yet it does work over 3G. I was thinking maybe Comcast (my ISP) was possibly filtering the communications but Chase Mobile on an iPhone 4S over the same wi-fi connection works fine... I don't get it...
2. Re: Problems with Chase Mobiledeggie Nov 7, 2012 2:24 PM in response to PastorzWife
Have you downloaded the new Chase Mobile App for iPad today?
3. Re: Problems with Chase MobileBessington72 Nov 8, 2012 5:54 PM in response to deggie
I have the same issue as well. Just updated my iPhone 4S today, Nov. 8. I seem to be able to login fine over 4G but I can't login over any wifi sources. I've tried public wifi at a restaurant, my wifi at work and my wifi at home. My issue seems to have started since I upgraded to ios6. I've also removed and installed the app.
4. Re: Problems with Chase MobileTeapat Nov 18, 2012 4:35 PM in response to PastorzWife
Same problem here, ios5 worked fine, ios6 does not... Both iPhone and ipad. "Request timed out..." Help!
5. Re: Problems with Chase MobileBillfrom Bolinas Dec 7, 2012 11:28 AM in response to PastorzWife
I can log on using my iPhone 4, but not my iPad. I get a time out every time. A support person from Chase called today and gave me a potential work around (forget the wifi then reconnect), but it didn't work for me. They know there's a problem but I don't think Apple has a fix yet.
6. Re: Problems with Chase Mobilekismek83 Jan 3, 2013 6:49 AM in response to Billfrom Bolinas
I got the same "fix" from Chase. Since updating to iOS 6, the app only works over mobile data not wifi. It ***** because my mobile data is awful in my apartment. Both Chase and Apple are aware of the issue but for months now, it's yet to be resolved.
7. Re: Problems with Chase Mobilejayson624 Jan 22, 2013 10:25 PM in response to PastorzWife
I have the same problem and have since the update to IOS6. I've done both updates to Chase and still nothing. I also am unable to send MMS messages (pictures) over wifi when in my house. I follow another thread on here for the MMS issue and it seems to be the Comcast modem and router combo. Wondering if the people in this discussion that are having problems with the chase app over wifi 1)have comcast 2)have the modem/router combo and 3)are also having issues sending MMS messages over wifi.
8. Re: Problems with Chase MobileTeapat Jan 23, 2013 2:45 AM in response to jayson624
Yes I also have Comcast at home, ios6 and can't get it to work, and my Chase app works fine over the office WiFi. I have read of other issues where the Comcast router had to be reconfigured to get around the problem, but the root cause is the ios6 software, not the router... But I don't know. It just doesn't work.
9. Re: Problems with Chase Mobiledeggie Jan 23, 2013 6:54 PM in response to Teapat
How is the root cause iOS 6 if it works at your office running iOS 6 but not at your house running a Comcast router? Strange logic.
10. Re: Problems with Chase MobileTeapat Feb 8, 2013 5:20 AM in response to deggie
Well the logic might be strange, but I can tell you that after installing IOS6.1, both my iphone and my ipad now work fine with the Chase app and Comcast. That was the only change. If you read through the threads you'll see there was some comm feature that Comcast used that IOS6 did not support, and 6.1 does... so now it all works.
11. Re: Problems with Chase MobileGray Bison Feb 10, 2013 11:26 PM in response to PastorzWife
Started noticing issues with the Chase Bank Mobile apps not working (timing out during authentification) over Comcast WiFi from both a Verizon iPhone 5 and a <gasp> Verizon Motorola DROID 4. Since both apps work fine over 4G LTE, just not over Comcast WiFi, it may be Comcast, as others in the forums have suggested.
An odd additional bit of info is that using Safari on the iPhone 5 and the default DROID 4 browser to go to https://m.chase.com while on Comcast WiFi also times-out on authentification, yet both browers work to the Mobile Chase website just fine again over 4G LTE ONLY. And a laptop accessing the same URL via browser works fine over Comcast Wifi. <headscratching>
Will update the iPhone 5 to IOS 6.1 to see if that fixes the Chase app on the iPhone over Comcast Wifi, as others have reported.
When reporting this issue to various vendors, it has been like watching a pack of puppies chasing each others tails with the blame game they want to play.
12. Re: Problems with Chase MobileGray Bison Feb 11, 2013 12:02 AM in response to Gray Bison
Confirming what others have said: Upgrading my iPhone 5 to IOS 6.1 resolved the issue with Chase Bank mobile access over Comcast WiFi both via the app and via Safari.
It will be fun to watch how long Google / Motorola / Verizon takes to upgrade Android 4.0.4 to solve the same problem on the Droid 4...
13. Re: Problems with Chase MobileRmellone May 25, 2013 3:23 PM in response to PastorzWife
I have one iphone 5 and one iphone 4 both of them can not log on into the chase because is stuck in loading signal. My phones are in IOS 6.1 can anyone help me ? Thanks

If I'm not mistake Chase was going to do some work on their system today.

Report(s): WBC covers salary of injured playersBy
Via Buster Olney and Ken Rosenthal: The World Baseball Classic is responsible for salary paid to players injured during the tournament while they are on the DL. The player must miss at least 30 days for coverage to kick in, and the WBC is also responsible if the player gets re-injured after returning.
For the Yankees, this applies to Mark Teixeira. He earns approximately $3.75M per month and is expected to be out until late-May/early-June, so that's $7.5M the Yankees won't have to pay their first baseman. Given the propensity for wrist injuries to linger, he could be out even longer and save the team even more. I assume this won't impact the luxury tax in any way, kinda like regular insurance. It's a reimbursement, not a salary reduction. The WBC savings probably contributed to the team's decision to acquire Vernon Wells — I think part of that money was their rainy day/trade deadline fund — but that still doesn't make it a good idea.
10 Comments»
It's too bad the team couldn't hide A-rod's injury last fall and have it miraculously occur during his first practice with a WBC squad. Opportunities lost!
Wow, that is awesome.
I can't for the life of me figure out we the Yanks made this deal? Who wants one let alone two years of another retread old outfielder? The timing baffles me too. What is the F.O. thinking here? Anybody have any ideas?
Apparently we had about 400 ideas last night.
Yanks could benefit even more if Tex needs surgery and misses the entire season which could very well happen.
BREAKING NEWS: The Yankees are going to be scouting Old Timers Day with hopes of finding some talent to play the field… Rickey Henderson and Reggie Jackson are rumored to be asking for 7 figures.
See? It's not Cashman OR Levine's fault. It's Teixeira's.
Teixeira failed.
Well, this may explain why they have money to spend, but Vernon Wells? Really? I mean, I'm not too upset because it is just a 4th OF, but, Really? Is this the best they could do????
It just takes away from Boesch, Mesa, Ronnier, Francisco, Rivera, UGH! THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF TALENT!

Missouri Speaker of House Tim Jones, R-Eureka, opened a new district office at 137B South Central Ave. in Eureka on Thursday evening at the conclusion of a four-day, 20-city tour this week around Missouri.
Missouri Sen. Jane Cunningham, R-Chesterfield, who has served with Jones for the past six years, said at the open house it was interesting at first to see him "be in the primary frying pan to see if he would melt."
Cunningham said Jones has a backbone, and proved he can stand the pressure that comes from groups and individuals.
Cunningham presented another attendee, Mark Schwieder, with a framed resolution about his dedication and contributions to Missouri's politics, which include being a 7th senatorial district liaison for her service area. Schwieder, a retired Rockwood School District teacher from Ellisville, and his family members were thanked for the work they spearheaded into establishing the new district office, including supervising the remodeling and decorating.
On the tour, which started last Monday, Jones spoke to voters, community leaders and business owners to obtain their input about prioritizing Missouri's important issues. He said he and his team logged 2,150 miles this week zig-zagging from cities, such as Poplar Bluff to West Plains to Branson and Lockwood. Lockwood is the location of his family's farm. He also conducted numerous media interviews along the route about what he called on Thursday at the new office ribbon-cutting the "Three Es platform":
- Economic Development
- Energy Independence
- Education Reform

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
Anderson County is the home of the annual Burgoo Festival. The 1950s Radio Flyer wagon, commemorating Davy Crockett, was painted yellow, not the typical red. The Harry Potter series villain, Lord Voldemort's real name is Tom Marvolo Riddle. The original slogan for Ajax cleaning powder in the 1960s was "Stronger than dirt!
These were just a few of the bits of knowledge the 12 teams participating in the annual Laurel County Adult Education and Literacy Trivia Bee were asked Tuesday.
The trivia bee was held at Jackson Energy, who sponsored three teams. This year's trivia categories included Kentucky Festivals, One and Done (one hit wonders in music, flash in the pan sports), Famous Commercials (and infamous taglines), Limited Wheels (limited production vehicles), and Young Adult Fiction.
In the end, the team from Chalice Christian Church Disciples of Christ, "Chalice Champs," made up of Tanya Tyler, Patty Smallwood and Jack Farmer, came out on top, taking home a really big trophy and bragging rights for 2013.
After five rounds, 10 questions each, the Chalice Champs were tied for first place with The Sentinel-Echo with 35 points.
Following a sudden death round, the Chalice Champs beat out The Sentinel-Echo, 37-36. The Sentinel-Echo team consisted of Willie Sawyers, Denis House and Carrie Dillard.
The third place team was the Jackson Energy "Transformers" — Ryan Henderson, Lynne House and Lonnie Farler — at 33 points.
The trivia bee is a fundraiser for the Laurel County Adult Education and Literacy (LCAEL) program.
Kathryn Hardman, executive director, said the event raised $2,500 this year, which will be used for scholarships for GED students. Last year, 187 students earned their GED through LCAEL.

Legendary underground comic writer Harvey Pekar died today. He was 70-years-old. Pekar's seminal autobiographical comic book series, American Splendor, will forever embody the genius and influence he brought to the form.
"The humor of everyday life is way funnier than what the comedians do on TV. It's the stuff that happens right in front of your face when there's no routine and everything is unexpected." - Harvey Pekar (1939-2010)"Cleveland comic-book legend Harvey Pekar dead at age 70"

August 16 is the date everyone is watching after job postings placed on the United Kingdom jobs site Reed made strong hints that Apple Inc.'s (AAPL) launch of the iPhone 5 will occur on that date. There are numerous posts in several regions of the U.K. that are recruiting Apple iPhone sales specialists "for an exciting project to work five days a week for the period 16th August – 29th October within key retail stores," the post writes.
Recruiter Gekko makes it clear that if offered the job, candidates are "required to attend a 4 day training event 9th -12th August 2011."
Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple has released a new iPhone each year since the first device launched in June 2007. The devices are generally released in the summer and the unspecified delays of the iPhone 5 launch have tech-savvy buyers anxiously waiting with great anticipation. The iPhone 4 is in excess of a year old and several publications, including CNET, which first discovered the job posting, have speculated about a release of the new generation in August or September.
The launch of the device is likely to occur in the U.S. at the same time, as the iPhone 4 was launched in the U.S. and the U.K. on the exact same day of last year.
The iOS5 is expected to release in the fall as well with Apple providing the third beta version of the software to developers this week to tinker with and optimize apps for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad before a public launch.

By Robb Murray
---- — MANKATO — Henry Hanson was more than happy to show the volunteers around the yard.
Vines growing up the garage wall here, overgrown brush there. It all needed to be dealt with. But Hanson, at age 71, says he just doesn't have it in him anymore to go crazy on the yard work at his home on South Second Street.
So the volunteers got to work. They raked up brush and weeds and other random vegetation. They pulled all those vines off the garage. They even fired up a chainsaw and cut through some of the more stubborn growth causing problems in Hanson's backyard.
"Age has gotten the better part of my body," he said. "They do a great job," said Hanson, "and it's beneficial to the community."
The volunteers in Hanson's yard came from South Central College's Center for Business and Industry. They were taking part in the United Way's Day of Action by heading out with a crew from VINE Faith in Action. One of the things VINE has been doing for years is helping seniors with lawn care or odd jobs around the house. And Hanson's yard was on the list when the SCC volunteers took part in the Day of Action.
The Day of Action is a national event. The actual "day of action" is Friday, which is the summer solstice. But many United Way offices spread events and good deeds out over the course of a week. And in Mankato, they've got many businesses that want to take part.
Roughly 170 volunteers from more than 20 businesses are working with the United Way on projects this week for the Day of Action. This year projects are taking place with SMILES, the Salvation Army, MOMS, the American Red Cross, ARC of MN Southwest, Feeding our Communities Partners, Lutheran Social Service and Partners for Affordable Housing, Habitat for Humanity, Open Door Health Center, and the YMCA's Big Brothers and Big Sisters program.
"It's been really fun to work with the businesses and see the excitement that everybody has," said Laura Stevens, marketing and campaign manager for the Greater Mankato Area United Way.
Stevens said they reach out to businesses that are involved in employer-based giving programs and see if they want to participate in the Day of Action. Also, they get requests from businesses and other groups — such as the crew from South Central College and Verizon Wireless — who want to participate.
Terry Meschke, who works at SCC's Faribault campus, said Monday was a perfect day for doing some good.
"Beats sitting in the office," he joked. "And it feels good to help the community."
Meschke said that by heading out as a group to volunteer, everybody wins, including the volunteer troupe from SCC. Last year, he said, they helped during Day of Action at the Red Cross, helping them organize their supplies. It took a while, he said, but they came together to get a job done, and left a stronger unit.
"We've been trying to get our team stronger the last few years," he said, "and these kinds of things help."
Eric Weller of SCC agreed. He called such events a "team building exercise," and said it's also a great chance to help the community as members of the South Central College.

The Massapequa suspect accused of the hit-and-run death of an Old Bethpage man and his dog was once a teacher involved in a high-profile sex scandal involving one of his students, Patch has learned.
Matthew Johnstone, 37, of North Massapequa, a former East Islip gym teacher, resigned five years ago after one of his students claimed he had an affair with her.
Now an X-ray specialist at Huntington Hospital, Johnstone surrendered to police about an hour after running down Robert Michels and his dog, Sparky, on Round Swamp Road, authorities said.
The North Massapequa suspect returned in his battered pick-up truck along with his future father-in-law, a retired New York City detective, News 12 reported.
Patch has learned that, in 2008, Johnstone, the top football assistant from 1998-2008 at East Islip, resigned under pressure following an alleged relationship with one of his female students.
His victim, then 18-year-old Rachel Primm, later filed a $40 million law suit alleging she suffered severe mental anguish following the affair. It is not clear if the case was settled out of court.
Johnstone, a 1994 East Islip graduate and former All-Long Island and All-State football star, attended Georgia Tech on a football scholarship, but
never played. He resigned his teaching license at the time and is barred from teaching again.
Johnstone's lawyer told a judge that the suspect was returning from his shift as an X-ray specialist at Huntington Hospital at the time. The lawyer said Johnstone realized he had hit "something."
It remains unclear why he didn't stop. In a News 12 interview, the lawyer, who was not identified, said Johnstone was "obviously not intoxicated, not impaired," and returned to the scene a short time after the incident.
Johnstone is charged with leaving the scene of an accident and was being held on $20,000 bond.

In the writer has cited inaccurately the role and scope of authority related to the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), the Bay Area's Council of Governments and regional planning agency. ABAG does not have the authority to rezone areas for higher density and low income housing. These are decisions held/made exclusively by the city/town/county.
What ABAG is involved in is a regionwide collaboration of regional agencies and the Bay Area's 101 cities and towns and nine counties to plan for future housing needs. This Plan Bay Area partnership is about finding opportunities to better connect homes and jobs and strategizing about how to increase housing production and affordability, and transportation alternatives.

Niners interior offensive line making its mark
Overshadowed by RB Frank Gore in the 49ers' Week Seven win over Seattle was the overpowering job the team's O-line did up the middle.
Key matchup: Niners interior offensive line vs. Lions DTs
Tuesday's "Key Matchup" focuses on the Niners' interior O-line vs. the Lions DTs in this Sunday's game in San Francisco.
Boone front-runner at right guard for Niners
The way we hear it, the Niners' starting job at right guard is Alex Boone's to lose.
Source: Playing Casey at FB will hurt Texans
The likelihood of James Casey starting at fullback for Houston may prove to be a mistake, according to PFW's Whispers.
Boone shapes up as solid keeper for Niners
While deemed worthy of a recent contract extension through 2015, OL Alex Boone is not considered a core player. "But he's a definite keeper," one team insider said.
49ers give OT Boone four-year extension
The 49ers announced they signed reserve OT Alex Boone to a four-year extension on Thursday. Boone has played in 12 games this season.
Giants may surprise with offensive pick
Although most pundits expect the Giants to draft a middle linebacker with their first-round pick, the whispers we're hearing indicate that an offensive player, such as TE Jermaine Gresham, wouldn't be a shocking choice.

In a letter, delivered to the US Ambassador to Peru Rose M. Likins, President Garcia said that Obama's support was "fair and necessary" for Yale University to return the pieces removed from Machu Picchu.
According to the letter, Obama's support is necessary as the US government led by William Howarf Taft in those years, was the one that authorized Hiram Bingham's work in Peru.
"Mr President and dear friend, 100 years have passed since then and despite the many requests made in several opportunities by different Peruvian governments, Yale University has not returned the artifacts removed from Machu Picchu", the letter says according to the Press Secretariat of the Republic Presidency.President Garcia said this demand is different from others, as the artifacts removed from Machu Picchu are not any war loot.
The artifacts, including pottery, jewelry and bones, were sent out of the country after Bingham, a Yale alumnus, rediscovered the site in the Andes in 1911. Peru's government says the objects were loaned to Yale for 18 months but never returned. At the time, the ancient city, now a tourist hot spot, was essentially forgotten, covered by thick forest in the mountains some 8,000 feet above sea level.

Our ocean-view beachfront property is like your home away from home! We visited many condos in Myrtle Beach before we settled on this one, and then completely transformed it from a standard 'hotel room' to a lovely comfortable vacation home. In January 2012, the kitchen was transformed into a cook's dream with exotic italian granite countertops and updated cabinets. All the beds are extremely comfortable with new pillow-top mattresses and lovely 100% cotton bedding. We put in new dvd players, and flat screen TVs in the living area and master. The carpet, tile, paint and furnishings are also up-to-date and new. From the stackable washer and dryer, to the wireless internet and Time-Warner cable, all the amenities of home are at your finger-tips. We truly put a lot of love and attention into our unit and have spent many happy days here. We truly hope you enjoy your visit and return to stay with us in the future!

Chris and Karen love real estate and own numerous rental homes. This is our first of two condos in Myrtle Beach, and by far our favorite! We love to travel and dream about investing in properties all over the US and the world, making each property a little extension of ourselves and an enjoyable place to share with others!
We have been visiting Myrtle Beach for many years, and since we only live 4 hours away, decided we wanted to buy a beach vacation home. We searched for many months before settling on Beach Colony. We love the family-friendly atmosphere as well as the quiet, laid back location. In minutes you can be at the 'strip' or Broadway at the Beach, yet it's a quick trip back to our 'home-away-from-home.' Beach Colony is a unique little 'gem' in the heart of a residential district of Myrtle Beach.
Our unit used to look like a 'typical' hotel condo with out-dated furnishing and fixtures. We completely renovated it with comfort and convenience in mind. The beds are a dream to sleep in, and the furniture is comfortable and stylish. In January of 2012, we updated the kitchen with exotic italian granite countertops, updated cabinets, and a breakfast bar. All appliances, carpet and tile are new, so you have no worries. Bring your laptop and enjoy the wireless internet access, while sipping a cup of coffee or a glass of wine on the balcony... this is living!

As my weapon procurement efforts move on, I'm gaining some ground and could use a few more old or no longer needed holsters.
I'm still in the market for SW99/P99 holsters (duty and concealment).
I could also use duty and/or concealment (shoulder or hip) holsters for Smith model 65 .357 magnum revolvers.
I could also use a shoulder holster for a Glock 22, hip holster (non-duty) for a Glock 27.
Anybody have some they want to part with?

I really love this hairspray and use it every day on my bangs, which I have to straighten, to protect against humidity making them recurl. It smells great considering the fact that it's hairspray, it doesn't leave my hair feeling stiff or sticky, and I honestly can't tell that its there. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a good, daily hairspray. I just wish it came in travel size!5
I have always thought the two works touchable hairspray just didn't go together. In fact they are mutually exclusive! But this hairspray proves that the two words can go tother and that this spray can works for days at a time. I have dry hair so I don't like to shampoo too often and have found a routine that worked fairly well but with amika Obliphica Touchable Hairspray my routine has stepped up to perfection. I LOVE, LOVE LOVE this magic spray. If you have frizzy or hair that needs flexibility THIS is IT!5

Stuck? You're not alone. On the heels of our biggest snowfall of the season, roads across the metro are more ice than asphalt causing problems for even the biggest of rigs. Actually, the bigger the rig, the bigger the problem, as semi drivers
trying to maneuver their way through the ice was the biggest problem.
According to the Minnesota State Patrol, there were 40 jackknifed semis since 2 p.m. Thursday in addition to more than 404 crashes and 1,300 reports of spinouts and vehicles off the road.See a live map of Twin Cities traffic conditions at myfox9.com/traffic
The Minnesota State Patrol is advising no travel throughout much of the state due to snow-and-ice-covered roads.
"We're receiving reports from veteran troopers in several areas of the state of conditions that are as bad as they've seen in 25 years," said State Patrol Lt. Col. Matt Langer. "We need motorists to avoid traveling unless it's absolutely necessary. It is simply too dangerous right now and MnDOT needs room to clear the roads of snow and ice."

Fifteen-year-old Issy and her newly single mother, Caroline Evans, are struggling to find their way alone, as well as together. At thirty-eight, with little money and all the responsibility for the two of them, Caroline is coming to terms with her new situation. When she decides to leave Singapore, home of her former well-off life (and her cheating husband), she ends up living in an English village pub, cooking dinners there to earn enough to get by, meeting unexpectedly quirky people, and making friends. But Issy still adores her father and secretly blames her mother for their change in life.
Just as Caroline's dream of converting an old barn into a restaurant finally begins to take shape, her chance at happiness is threatened and hangs in the balance as whispers of murder and vengeance find their way to her. When Issy, who is hovering in that limbo between girl and young woman, begins to make some risky choices, the stakes are raised even higher.
A Place in the Country is filled with emotions every woman will recognize as Caroline and Issy make their way in the world and do battle with those who would wish to see them lose their chances to gain their hearts' desires. Love and hate, blame and responsibility, deception and trust all collide in this novel that is Elizabeth Adler at her page-turning best.

By Bryan Fischer
Follow me on Twitter: @BryanJFischer, on Facebook at "Focal Point"
A gay porn actor is way ahead of me, but I'm all caught up now. He wants to fine people who don't use a condom when they have gay sex.
Now he wants to restrict the fine to people in the porn industry, but why stop there? If contracting HIV/AIDS is the threat to human health he says it is, why shouldn't we try to protect everybody?
Derek Burts is an actor in both straight and gay porn films, and shut down the porn industry late last fall when he tested positive for HIV, which he says he almost certainly contracted while filming gay sex scenes.
Now, according to the Los Angeles Times, another sex performer has been diagnosed with HIV, and once again the porn industry has been temporarily shuttered.
Burts and others are now collecting signatures for a ballot initiative sponsored by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation which, if passed by voters in 2012, will require all performers in adult films shot in L.A. to wear condoms during filming, whether the sex is gay or straight. The only standards in place right now are strictly voluntary, and ask performers to be tested every 30 days.
The president of the foundation, one Michael Weinstein, says that not requiring gay porn actors to wear condoms shows "outrageous disregard for the health and safety of performers and the community at large." So he too admits that gay sex is an enormous threat to public health, and that the threat is community-wide. In other words, he's saying that homosexual sex, indeed random sex in general, is not a victimless crime. I couldn't agree more. I feel like I'm listening to myself here.
Adds Weinstein, in words that could have come from one of my columns, "How many performers must become infected with HIV and other serious STDs before the industry will clean up its act and government will do the right thing?" How many, indeed?
I've repeatedly stressed that our best argument against the normalization of homosexuality is the enormous danger it poses to human health. It is so risky to public health that the FDA will not let a male donate blood if he's had sex with another male even one single solitary time since 1977.
And lo and behold, Derek Burts agrees with me on the dangers of gay sex. "It's very dangerous," he says, speaking of filming gay sex scenes in particular. On top of contracting HIV, by the way, he also contracted chlamydia, gonorrhea and herpes while working in the porn industry.
e knows he contracted all these diseases while having sex on camera because the only sex he has outside of work is with his girlfriend. She must feel so special.
He's a walking one-man billboard for abstinence before marriage and fidelity after.
Because of the enormous health risks involved in gay sex, he says, "It should be required that you wear a condom on the set."
According to a spokesman for the Free Speech Coalition, a porn industry trade group, performers who had sex with this most recently infected HIV individual will be notified so they too can get tested. The Coalition will attempt to identify what she called "first- and second- generation partners," by which she means all those who had sex with the person and all those who had sex with anyone who had sex with the infected person. Given that many homosexuals have between 500 and 1000 sexual partners in a lifetime, good luck with that.
It's a reminder that when you have sex with someone, you're not just having sex with them - you're having sex with everyone they've had sex with.
Now if condoms are going to be required in filming gay sex scenes, then there must be some penalty for failing to do so. I was unable to find out exactly what the proposed penalty is, but I'm assuming it's in the nature of a fine.
What I'm suggesting is that we enact ordinances in city after city and laws in state after state that mandate that same exact penalty - whatever penalty gay activists think is appropriate - for unprotected homosexual sex. Hey, if it's good enough for porn stars, it should be good enough for the average gay man on the street.
And if someone wants to extend that same penalty to unmarried straights who have sex, who am I to complain?
Why should we only care about the health of those who get paid $1000 to $2000 for filming a sex scene and not care about the little people who have gay sex in public bathrooms for free?
Of course, this is just the place to begin, but it is a first step in de-normalizing and de-legitimizing homosexual sex. And the beauty here is that we would be following the lead of homosexual activists. We ought to take their advice in the simple interest of human health and out of concern for future possible HIV victims.
So oddly, I find myself in the same corner on this issue as gay porn stars. I'm willing to take their suggestion and apply it not just in L.A. but nationwide and not just for people who get paid to have sex but for every gay sex partner in the land. It's not all we can do, but it's the least we can do.

Many boomers, as well as retirees, looking for work are hitting the pavement with outdated resumes.
Of course, you don't wear out shoe leather anymore. Now you're sending your resume through email or applying online — and the resume that you submit today is substantially different from what you used years ago.
Follow these simple suggestions and your resume is much more likely to be seen by the recruiter or employer receiving it.
The single most important thing to consider in preparing your resume is to write it so that it will get read.
No matter what your resume says or how it's formatted, if it isn't read you've lost the battle. Once read, the purpose of a resume is to get an interview .
As you put your resume together or work with a professional to help you, your efforts must be focused on these points.
Following these two guidelines will improve the likelihood of getting your resume read:
Tailor the general resume you have written to the specific job and company where it is being sent. Expand your description of the areas of experience and education that apply and cut back the space you have devoted to those areas which have little or no value to the employer reading your resume.
Make sure the first area at the top of your resume is a "summary of experience" and includes specific applicable experience as opposed to generalities. Consider using words from the job description or posting. This area of your resume should be designed to prove your value proposition and differentiate you from your competition — and shouldn't list objectives.
On average, recruiters and hiring managers scan individual resumes for fewer than 20 seconds before deciding if they are going to read them.
Many recruiters separate resumes into three categories; not interested, hold for further review if a better candidate can't be found, and those where the candidates meet most or all of the criteria in the position description.
Your resume must get into this last group if your credentials are appropriate for the position to which you are applying.
Here are 12 checks that should improve your chances of getting seen:
Did you list your cellphone for contact? If so make sure there is a professional voice-mail message on it.
Did you make sure your email address is appropriate for business? Hokey and fun email addresses can cut you out of the interviewing process.
Are you using clichés in your summary of experience description? Catch phrases like "result-oriented," "self-motivated," "dynamic," "team player," and "proven track record" often won't get past the new resume scanning programs. Better to use words from the job description or posting.

Forty-nine states tracking your prescriptions in databases
Forty-nine states are tracking all of your prescriptions in state-run databases and politicians and law enforcement hope to make Missouri the 50th state.

On the virtue of keeping it simple
Posted by Ellen Rinaldi on April 7, 2009 @ 9:05 am in Investing
The impact of unnecessarily complicating our lives became clear to me this weekend.
With 260,000 miles on our two cars, we decided this was the time to get that new car we've been talking about. We did the research, bought the car, and parked it in the garage. For now, we'll use it on weekends and use our older ones until they're too expensive to run.
The problem came when we tried to figure out how to program telephone numbers and addresses into the new car's computer system. After an hour and a few interesting exchanges, we had only succeeded in getting our home address added. It was a humbling experience. Sometimes I think we mistake bells and whistles with sophistication.
This experience gave me pause. The message "keep it simple" should probably have been in the forefront of our thinking during the purchase decision. The gizmos were attractive—who wouldn't want to record music off their CDs directly into the car, or put their own screen saver on the GPS?
The ramifications of a complicated setup, though, are that it takes time and asks for decisions you may not be prepared to make—and once it's set, you probably won't venture back to edit your choices because the first experience was so painful.
If I had approached investing this way, I'd probably have picked up every new mutual fund as it appeared, rather than sticking to my asset allocation and my admittedly no-frills approach to fund selection and portfolio construction.
I don't believe you need a finance degree to make sound, reasoned investment decisions, and you don't need an overly complicated portfolio to meet your goals. I probably should have thought about this before we bought the car!

The Wrentham Lions is hosting the 17th annual Wrentham Duathlon on April 14 at the Crackerbarrel Fairgrounds.
Registration is continuing, and all proceeds from the registration fees will help support the Wrentham Lions' charitable concerns as well as fund research for a cure to blindness.
The Lions also help organize the fall Wrentham Halloween Duathlon, which also supports charitable efforts in the area.
The Wrentham Lions Club has put the race on for 17 years with the help of Fiske Independent Race Management, a race organization company. The race usually attracts at least 300 participants.
The race, which involves both running and cycling in a team relay style, will start at 8:30 a.m.
Competitors will start by running three miles around the perimeter of the fairgroundsproperty; then bike 11 miles on streets in Wrentham, Franklin, and Norfolk; and finish by running another two miles bisecting the middle of the fairgrounds.
Awards will be designated by age in increments of five years as well as weight classes. The first three teams to finish will be awarded. A random award may also be given out at the race director's discretion.
Volunteers for checkpoints and team support are needed. Volunteers receive a tech race shirt and post race food. Email Wendy at firstname.lastname@example.com to volunteer.
Here's some tips from F.I.R.M. for getting to the race.
1. Arrive early and go directly to registration to pick up your race packet.
2. Immediately take the timing chip from your race packet, and put it on your left ankle.
3. Look at the number on your race packet, and find that number on the racks in the transition area. This is the rack where you set up your gear. Memorize its location.
4. Attach the larger race number to your running singlet or race belt. Attach the smaller number on your bike. (A stapler works well for that task).
5. Locate where you will enter the transition area from the bike course, and the where you will exit the transition area to start the second run segment. Practice running in from the bike course and running out onto the run course.
6. Visit the restrooms.
7. Warm up prior to the start of the race by going for an easy run on the run course.
8. Line up at the start line according to your expected running pace. Those at the front will head out in the five minute mile pace range; those in the middle will head out in the eight minute mile pace range. Position yourself accordingly.
9. Smile for the cameras. It's nice to have some action photos for remembering the day.
10. Have fun and enjoy the experience!

Editorial: Restore the funding
Consumer confidence continues to be shaken with all too many outbreaks of tainted food.
Just this past weekend, bags of baby spinach were pulled from the shelves of Fresh & Easy markets after a bag of the product tested positive for listeria, which can cause sometimes fatal infections in the young and elderly. No illnesses have been reported, but the spinach was recalled as a precaution.
Thursday, a Cargill Inc. unit began a massive recall — roughly 36 million pounds — of fresh and frozen ground turkey products due to possible contamination from an antibiotic-resistant salmonella strain believed to be linked to 77 illnesses so far and one known death in California.
It was less than two months ago that The Star, in an editorial, questioned a move by newly-minted House Republicans to gut vital funding to the Food Safety and Modernization Act, a sweeping new law to ensure stronger government oversight of the nation's food supply.
The law, passed with bipartisan support and signed into law in January, came after a wave of tainted foods over the past two years sickened thousands of people across the nation and killed dozens. The landmark law was widely hailed by consumers, lawmakers, consumer advocates and even major food manufacturers.
But, House Republicans, in an effort to trim the national deficit, slashed funding for the new law by almost 12 percent earlier this year, hampering the Food and Drug Administration's ability to implement the stricter rules that will make our food safer. Yes, when it comes to budget cutting, we all have to make sacrifices, but not with our health or possibly our lives.
Even with proper funding, it's unlikely the new rules would have yet been in place to stop these two latest incidences. But, what about future outbreaks?
It's time we can start preventing these possibly deadly outbreaks, instead of reacting after the fact. It's time for Congress to restore the funding.

Members of the Washington Township Board of Education had mixed feelings about possibly moving school elections from April to November, after .
Political influence and a possible lack of focus on education were some of the reasons the board members did not want to make the move, while saving costs on an additional election and seeing a higher turnout were the ideas behind making the switch.
"The [school] election was put purposely in April to be separate from politics," board member Kevin Daly said. "It's separated for a purpose, and before we make a decision, we need to visit that purpose."
Board member Kathleen Koop echoed those sentiments, pointing her worries specifically at the Long Valley community's political battle zones.
"People come to Long Valley for the schools," Koop said. "But what upsets me so much is the political character of this town. It can get very ugly in November, and I don't want that to play a part in the school election. The focus in April is on education."
Under the new legislation, if a school district moves its election to November, the public will not vote on a proposed budget, as long as it stays under the state-mandated 2-percent cap. If a proposed budget goes above the mandate, a referendum will be put on the ballot asking voters to approve or deny the increase.
In Washington Township, approximately 70-percent of property taxes funds the K-8 and West Morris Regional School districts.
It was the budget topic that stood out for some board members, including president Michael Rec.
"It's easy–as a member of the public–to speculate that the board will create a budget at 2-percent or around 2-percent just because there won't be a vote on it," Rec said. "But our priority will be, as it always has been, to make an efficient budget."
Rec pointed out that the previous three school budgets have decreased year over year.
"I think we can separate the political aspects if we move [to November]," said board member Perry Kwok. "I don't think we'll damage the process. We've been fiscally responsible in the past, and I think we'll do the right thing by staying under the cap."
The April 2011 election cost the Washington Township School District $6,500, according to board member Michelle Munley. The district only pays half of the total cost, as it is split with the West Morris Regional High School District.
"The November turnout is greater, and I think the back-door purpose of this move is to include more people in the vote," Munley said. "But taking away the vote on a budget bothers me."
Under the new law, any one of three groups can make the decision to move the vote: the school board, local voters (through a petition) and the municipal government.
"Before we make any decision, I think we need to be completely aligned with the Township Committee," Rec said. "We should discuss the situation with them before making a vote."
Public Wants to Be Heard
Long Valley resident told the board that moving the election to November is taxation without representation.
"I can't believe you're even contemplating taking any vote away from the residents that affects their pockets," Leslie said. "If this isn't disenfranchising the voters, I don't know what is. Why in the world would you take the vote away?"
Township committeeman Tracy Tobin was also in attendance for the meeting, and agreed with some board members on the political nature of moving the election.
"I'm not in favor of making the change because of the political linkage," Tobin said. "The process may become more politicized. What the legislature should have done was put this to a referendum question from the start."
"You should let the public decide," Leslie said.
The next Washington Township Board of Education meeting will take place at 7:30 p.m. at the on Tuesday, Feb. 7. The board will continue its discussion on the issue.

If confirmed by the Senate, Richard Cordray would head the agency tasked with being a government watchdog over mortgages, credit cards and other forms of lending. Obama said the agency will protect the public from financial fraud and abuse.
Obama and Cordray were joined in the Rose Garden by Elizabeth Warren, a special assistant to the president who had been charged with getting the agency started. Consumer groups wanted her to head it, but she was strongly opposed by Republicans and would have faced a difficult confirmation fight.
Republicans have already threatened to block Cordray's Senate confirmation as well.

South Boston Police Department Investigates Missing Bank Deposit
- Last Updated on 10:45 AM 01/06/10
- BY Staff
South Boston police are investigating a missing bank deposit from McDonalds in Centerville, according to Captain B. K. Lovelace.
At 10:24 a.m. Saturday, McDonalds' management discovered the deposit from Friday night was missing and called the South Boston Police Department, said Cpl. S. L. Warf, who conducted the preliminary investigation.
Warf said he interviewed all of the restaurant's employees who were on duty when the undisclosed amount of money was supposed to be deposited in the bank.
The case has been turned over to Sgt. C. L. Carswell of the investigations department of the police department. No further information was available as of press time, but Warf said the investigation is continuing.
In other police matters, a 29-year-old Scottsburg man is facing five counts of shoplifting, including four felony counts, according to sheriff's office records.
Christopher Allen Stanley of Wagstaff Lane was charged with four felony counts and one misdemeanor count of shoplifting at a Danville department store.
The misdemeanor offense allegedly occurred Aug. 16, and the four felony offenses allegedly occurred Aug. 18 and 19 and Sept. 15 and 21. Warrants were served on Stanley over the weekend.
James Franklin Jennings, 69, Lake Shore Drive, Halifax, was charged with three misdemeanor counts, including petit larceny, hunting wildlife with a firearm while under the influence of alcohol and pointing or brandishing a firearm.
The offense allegedly occurred Saturday, and Deputy S. Britton served the warrants the same day.

John Lennon Might Maybe Have Been a Secret Republican
Get ready, hippy liberals. Because you are about to have your entire mind exploded to death!
Fred Seaman [Lennon's personal assistant] worked alongside the music legend from 1979 to Lennon's death at the end of 1980 and he reveals the star was a Ronald Reagan fan who enjoyed arguing with left-wing radicals who reminded him of his former self…
He says, "John, basically, made it very clear that if he were an American he would vote for Reagan because he was really sour on (Democrat) Jimmy Carter…
"I also saw John embark in some really brutal arguments with my uncle, who's an old-time communist… He enjoyed really provoking my uncle… Maybe he was being provocative… but it was pretty obvious to me he had moved away from his earlier radicalism.
Wait a minute! Hold the phone! Do you mean to tell me that multi-millionaire John Lennon expressed support for Ronald Reagan — who took office a month-and-a-half after Lennon's death — at the tail end of the least effective Democratic administration in several decades? And he thought — during a time when Soviets were lining up in the driving snow for bread — that Communism is silly? According to some guy?
Well, that…
I'm sure that a lot of liberals are pretty embarrassed right now in light of this new information. I'd expect a pretty big windfall of conversions to conservativism any time now.

By extending her Santa Monica condominium's living area onto her wraparound terrace, Julie Milligan has doubled her 1,650 square feet of usable space and created five new "rooms," each with its own personality. A bare deck with painted rails now houses a morning sitting room, barbecue-kitchen, dining area, living room and bedroom. High-end outdoor furnishings leave old notions of patio furniture far behind; Milligan's ever-evolving terrace is filled with year-round comfort zones for groups both large and small.
"I like to make places feel sexy," Milligan says with a grin. To that end, she has focused on intimate seating areas, including a small dining table and a horseshoe-shaped outdoor screening room, all with spectacular views across the Santa Monica rooftops to the ocean. For a romantic look, European and Asian design is mixed with Mexican terra-cotta chimeneas used as heaters. Lush potted plants serve every possible purpose, from hiding unsightly nearby rooftops to providing edibles to adding fragrance and color.

Temple Beth El offers membership in 27
committees, chaired by congregants, which plan and implement the
programs and services we offer. Many congregants serve on these
committees which provide a wonderful opportunity to volunteer and
become active in the Temple.

The adjacent beach front park and its amenities – a playground, pavilions, winding walkways and concessions – add to its appeal. It is under one of those pavilions that a live band plays popular music which adds to the festive atmosphere. Nearby, a huge sand sculpture of a turtle draws a steady crowd, while the squeals of children can be heard in the background as they romp around the large playground.
Some enjoy the beach and the waves from the Gulf of Mexico, some play volleyball and fly kites, while still others quietly absorb the gentle breeze, warm sand, and the tranquil sounds of the waves. Then at sunset... in a tradition that began in Key West, the crafters whip out conch shells and blow them.
The Sunsets festival is held nightly from two hours before sunset to two hours afterwards, assuming there is no rain. The festival is free. Parking is available just south of Pier 60 for an hourly charge. Additional parking is available further south along the beach.
This celebration is for everyone – young and old – and provides the perfect end to a busy day of sightseeing, or for the locals... a hard day at the office. Once you have experienced a sunset celebration, you'll want to come back night after night – after all who can resist a beautiful sunset and a good festival all rolled into one?

For many of us, Valentine's Day serves to remind us of love. Even though it is the holiday of love we do not always act in a loving way towards the people in our lives. Sometimes angry words are said and feelings are hurt, either intentionally or unintentionally.
I have recently been reminded of a technique a girlfriend told me about years ago. It goes like this. You have a heated exchange with someone you care about. My girlfriend and her spouse have on hand a stuffed velvet heart about 5 inches in diameter. They bring it out to help them talk to each other when the discussions get heated. This velvet red heart symbolizes speaking from the heart. The person holds the heart while they are speaking and then their discussion comes from their heart. When one person is done sharing from their heart they hand the red velvet heart to the other person and they get to speak from their heart - without the other interrupting them. Negative words that might have otherwise been said do not come out, but they are replaced by softer more hearable words.
Another technique I use is visualizing my conversation coming from my actual heart space where I see my heart space opening up and energizing what I am saying. This technique can even work when I am listening. I can do it anywhere with anyone who I am having difficulties with.
Either of these tools works great with your partner, kids, or family members. You can introduce them as ways to speak from your heart. Share these ideas when you are not angry, but invite the other person to practice them with you when there is an upsetting situation.
So this Valentine's Day (or any day), bring out a heart symbol to help you remember to come from your heart when you are speaking to another. Notice how it softens your words and helps you articulate what is going on for you.
