Friday, Oct. 27
If the real Michael Dorley is real, every record suggests hes still in Vegas. Where is he?
Call the Las Vegas police again, checking on the status of my records request. A recording answers and tells me the office is closed.
It turns out to be Nevada Day, the states annual three-day weekend to celebrate joining the Union on Oct. 31, 1864.
So the gatekeepers arent working, but I know the cops are. I look around for another police line, find it and thread my way to someone in records who tells me Ill have to wait until next week, because its a holiday.
Nevada Day.
No police report for now. Once more, I try the only good-looking number in New Hampshire, where Ive already left one message. The records suggest Dorley has siblings. Every name, including his, traces back to this number. I figure its the family homestead.
Ring. Ring.
Its a young womans voice. I introduce myself, and say Im trying to find Michael Dorley.
Is this because he got his identity stolen by that jerk?
Oh man.
Yes yeah.
Just a minute Ill give you his cell phone number. He lives in Las Vegas now.
Lucky so lucky.
OK thank you, that would be really helpful.
I dont ask the young woman for her name. As she rummages for Dorleys number, she tells me how terrible the experience was, how it was really hard for Michael, how she hopes they can catch that guy.
She shares the number. I thank her, hang up and punch the keys.
The first victim
Ring. Ring.
I tell him my name, tell him Im a reporter from Tacoma and Im trying to reach Michael Dorley.
Yeah, Im Michael Dorley.
I tell Michael a short story. It ends with a name: Kenneth Debutts. Michael knows it.
I met him on roommates.com in Las Vegas, he says.
Dorleys summary sounds familiar. He says Debutts answered an Internet ad in spring 2005. Debutts pitched a poor-mouth story: He didnt have enough money for the first months rent, but he would soon. He had two bags of clothes and that was about it. Dorley took him in.
Debutts got a job at the Olive Garden, Dorley says
started paying a little rent, but was always behind and never bought groceries. Dorley finally complained about it.
A few days later, Debutts showed up with armloads of groceries. Enough for three weeks, Dorley says. Then he gave Dorley a gift a flat-screen TV.
Another flat-screen, huh?
Dorley tells me how he called Debutts one summer day and left a happy message about buying a new Mazda. That was in July 2005. Debutts never called back. Dorley never saw him again.
Then bills arrived, debt in tens of thousands: maxed-out credit cards, paperwork for the Jeep bought in Dorley's name.
One bank showed Dorley a photo of Debutts withdrawing money from Dorleys account. When Dorley tried to renew his driver's license, he found Debutts already had. The records revealed that every time Debutts paid rent, he was doing it with Dorleys money.
I had to prove who I was to the mailman, Dorley says. He had everything covered.
I ask for a description of Debutts.
Hes probably about six feet tall, overweight, keeps his hair short.
Dom DeLuise with a Bob Hope nose? I ask.
Thats him.
Dorley says hes got pictures. Debutts took a few point-and-shoot self-portraits and posted them on Internet dating sites. The images are still on Dorley's computer. He can e-mail them to me when he gets home from the late shift.
I ask about the police report does he have a copy? Hes not sure, but hell look. We'll talk more tomorrow.
Dorley says he has boxes of paper on this: the residue of a painful quest to rebuild his credit.
Its been a nightmare, he says. I know Im never getting my money back.
That night, I call Dave and tell him Ive talked to the real Michael Dorley, whos going to send pictures. I relay Dorleys story: the car, the credit cards, the fraudulent drivers license.
When Dave sees the pictures, hell know for sure, and then he can decide what to do.
OK, he says.
He seems oddly calm, his voice placid, no sign of irritation. I dont get it.
You dont sound angry about this.
You think Im not angry? he says.
Well, it sounds like it doesnt bother you.
Im relieved, he says. I feel relieved. Now I know I know why. The karma on this is just awful. Hes already done it to that poor guy in Nevada, and hes doing it to me, and if I dont do something now, hell just go do it to someone else.
'Con artist in Las Vegas'
Later that night, I realize I'm stupid. All this searching, and I haven't tried something blindingly obvious: feeding Kenneth Debutts to the Google god.
Up comes the familiar site, in go the search terms. Back come the hits. Only a few, but the first one says Con Artist in Las Vegas.
Whats this? Did Michael Dorley set up this site?
Up it comes: a postage-stamp-sized mugshot of Debutts and a list of accusations: identity theft, theft of cash from his employer, elaborate lies, embezzlement, unauthorized credit card charges, and occasional use of an alias: Kenneth Brown.
The claims dont match Dorleys story the details are different, the dates slightly earlier, and this site never mentions Dorley.
No, not Dorley another victim.
At the bottom of the Web page, more pictures, big ones: Debutts smiling, arms around a couple of friends?
Debutts grinning, striking a rakish pose in an on-the-town white shirt.
Big guy. Short hair. Thick body. Puffy.
Dom Deluise with a Bob Hope nose.
Too late to call anyone now. Check the site for contact information. No phone numbers, but theres a place to send messages. I send one with my name and number attached, and "Kenneth Debutts" in the subject line.
Saturday, Oct. 28
Afternoon, on the phone with the real Michael Dorley: Can he get to a computer? He can. Is he online? Yes.
I spell out the Web address of the con artist Web site and listen, knowing what Dorley is about to see.
Thats him thats him, Dorley says.
Jesus. Holy Christ. Thats definitely Ken.
Thats one witness. One more to go.
Dorley walks me through the detailed version his story, adding dates and memories: Debutts talking of an ex-wife and kids back East, claiming to send them money...Debutts driving a Jeep and claiming it belonged to his ex the same Jeep that later showed up on Dorleys wrecked credit.
Dorley recalls his humiliating slog with skeptical creditors, sitting in bank offices, going line by line through the records, answering questions about transactions he never made.
Ive had nothing but bad luck, Dorley says. Its just crazy I just cant believe that hes doing it again, that hes trying to do it with someone else.
Dorley berates himself.
Im gullible, he says. I never believed he was pulling anything on me, so I just believed everything he said.
Dorley says hell e-mail me his pictures of Debutts. He cant find the police report he filed its buried in boxes. Instead, he'll give me the name and number of someone who worked on his case: Chester Clagett, an investigator from Nevadas Department of Motor Vehicles.
Dorleys e-mail arrives almost instantly. It includes a few tiny mug shots.
Debutts again: A baseball cap covers his head, and his shave is closer, but the round face is familiar now.
The e-mail ends with a small plea from a man driven into bankruptcy:
Another ID
Now it's Dave's turn to look at pictures. I call him, guide him to the con artist site and listen for the sound of recognition.
Oh, God, I hear Dave say.
He starts reading aloud, exclaiming at the list of allegations. Then he sees the pictures at the bottom of the page.
Oh, thats special, he says.
Oh, this is creepy. Thats him.
Are you sure?
Two positive IDs from two men in two states substantial, but not enough.
Who posted the con artist site? The mysterious third victim hasn't responded to the message I sent.
The police report Dorley says he filed in Vegas is critical. If he filed it, and if a warrant exists, this airy trail of anecdotes starts to feel real.
I tell Dave we wont know anything more until next week. Meanwhile, hell have to live with his roommate and keep the secret.
Monday, Oct. 30
Still no response from the Vegas cops. Need the police report, need it I call them again. They say theyll find out whos working on my records request and get back to me.
Dorley gave me the name and number of the investigator with the Nevada state DMV who knows about his case. I call, and Investigator Chester Clagetts message says hes out until Oct. 31. At least he's real.
Dead ends.
New e-mail from Dorley. As an afterthought, I'd asked him to send me pictures of himself for verification purposes. He's enclosed a few snapshots. In the first, he flashes a big grin.
Happy guy. Doesn't look much like Debutts.
In the second shot, Dorley wears a spiffy tux.
Nope. Not Debutts. This guy's in good shape.
The prospect of snaring Debutts is lifting Dorley's spirits. His e-mail is a little giddy.
Phone message: Aaron Davis, returning my call from an 801 area code - Utah.
Cant remember Davis at first, then it comes to me: One Google hit showed Ken Debutts in Utah in 2004, speaking at a peace rally.
He was described as Gulf War veteran, appearing with a local chapter of a national group called Veterans For Peace. Aaron Davis is the chairman of the Salt Lake City chapter. Id called him and forgotten. I call him back.
Davis has a grandfatherly voice. He remembers Debutts, accepts the Dom Deluise description (I guess you could go along with that) and says he hasnt seen him for more than a year.
Is Debutts a veteran? Davis thinks so. He says he has a copy of Debutts discharge papers: the DD-214 form, a familiar document in military circles. He says he can mail me a copy.
He wants to know why Im asking these questions. Hearing the answer, he sighs, and says Debutts seemed eager to get out of Salt Lake.
I was aware that he had what some people called the dark side, Davis says. The needy kind of a person he was always needing financial help, he was always needing various things.
The day yields nothing else. Dave calls with a question:
Im wondering if I should tell anyone Im living with an impostor sociopath.
Tuesday, Oct. 31
Chester Clagett, the Nevada state investigator who supposedly worked on Michael Dorley's case, is back in the office, giving me his titles.
Clagett is a state police officer, assigned to the Nevada DMV as a fraud investigator. Yes, he says, he knows Michael Dorley, and he knows the name Kenneth Debutts.
I can tell you that theres a warrant out for the subjects arrest, because I submitted it its a felony, he says.
Drum roll.
I tell him the story. Clagett says he wants to talk to the Renton cops about Debutts.
He fleeced my victim down here for an enormous amount of money, Clagett says. I would love to have this guy extradited. Id be happy to go up there.
Trumpets. Fanfare.
If you want, I can grab the file.
Clagett thumbs through his file, started more than a year ago.
I have pictures of this clown, he says. Kind of a round-faced, heavyset guy?
Uh yeah.
Clagett says he has the Vegas police report, his affidavit for the warrant, a copy of the warrant and Debuttss photo on a bogus drivers license.
He says hell give the Renton police all the information they need. I ask if Dave should file a police report up here.
Clagett says yes, but he needs a little time.
Have the police up there call me give me a day.
I call Dave, tell him well meet tomorrow and pay a visit to the Renton Police Department.
This is getting official and intense. Were not guessing anymore. Dave knows he needs to play it cool, but I tell him anyway.
Dave says Debutts says strange things.
He makes crazy threats.
Oh good.
Like what?
Ill be on the phone, and hell be like, What are you doing? Who are you calling?
OK, but what are the crazy threats?
Dave says hes seen his burly roommate furious. He tells me Debutts once said, Sometimes I black out, and when I wake up, people are hurt.
Bull. Macho posturing. No violence in the guys record.
I hate this.
I tell Dave Ill see him tomorrow.
Next: "What if he's outsmarted us all, Sean?"

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 22, 2014
California is one of the American states that has higher insurance costs based on averages, according to recently released insurer data. The Quotes Pros company is now promoting its CA cheapest auto insurance agencies list to help drivers find affordable coverage for vehicle types at http://quotespros.com/auto-insurance.html.
Some of the top rated agencies in the Northwest are now represented in the current listing of discount providers for automotive insurance packages. The select quote system that is currently usable by any driver matches an inputted zip code to the statewide database to produce the current prices.
"A driver buying automobile insurance in California can be presented with few options at the state level for reduced price coverage plans," said a Quotes Pros rep.
The main cities in California that are now entered into the search platform for drivers to research includes Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose and Bakersfield. Many of the companies in the current list underwrite coverage policies in many small towns and suburban areas.
"Someone who is beginning to compare the price structures and offerings for coverage between different agencies can easily utilize our digital tool for reviewing price markdowns," the rep added.
The Quotes Pros company is helping American motorists to maintain anonymity during research for insurance coverage online. The auto coverage rates that are presented in the detailed system also include renters, homeowners and health policies viewable at http://quotespros.com/homeowners-insurance.html.

Mealtimes can be a frantic blur of children demanding milk, second helpings or a favorite food. By the time it's over, you're tempted to herd the kids out of the kitchen and on to school or to sleep.
Don't. You'll just return to the room after a long day's work, or after putting the children to bed, and be forced to clean the dishes when you're exhausted.
Instead, take a few minutes at the end of the meal to toss the dishes in the dishwasher, put leftovers in the dishwasher and sweep away any large crumbs from the floor. When you return to a tidy kitchen, it will make preparing the meal that much easier. If you have slow eaters like mine, you can start to clean while they're finishing their food.
Enlist Children to Clean the Kitchen
Children of any age can help you clean the kitchen before the family moves to the next stage of the day. Sure, infants' help may be limited to amusing themselves in a playpen or high chair while you tidy up.
But even toddlers can wield a dustpan and whisk broom while you do the heavy lifting. At least it will occupy them when you're cleaning the kitchen! And as they get older, their contribution will go from being a token to actually helping.
If you do a quick kitchen clean-up after breakfast and dinner, your end-of-the-day rush will be a little more pleasant and you'll have time to yourself after the kids' bedtime. You'll also work more quickly and efficiently if you've got kids to tend to than if you clean at your leisure when they're asleep.

Girl Scouts of America may have a unique role in the community of Watts in South Los Angeles. The young girls with their green, brown, or blue vests may see the group as a way to make friends, but it's something different for the LAPD.
LAPD's Community Safety Program partnered up with the Housing Authority to start a Girl Scout troop at Grape Street Elementary. The Housing Authority provided funding to reduce the fees and cost of the uniform. Without that financial help, most of the families might not have signed their girls up.
Today's meeting kicked off the annual cookie drive. But before the orders from troop leaders, to sell, sell, sell, the girls recited the Girl Scout promise to be honest, fair, friendly and helpful.
Officer Emada Tingirides believes reciting that pledge every week will help guide them as they mature. And, the relationships they develop here with the other girls, the troop leaders and the police watching over them provide the kind of family structure that will keep them out of gangs. She believes that even after just one year, there is better community relations between police, parents and their children; that crime is down and reports of crime are up.
Here's a full copy of the Girl Scout promise
On my honor, I will try:
To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.
Here's a full copy of the Girl Scout Law
I will do my best to be:
Honest and fair,
Friendly and helpful,
Considerate and caring,
Courageous and strong, and
Responsible for what I say and do,
And, to respect myself and others,
Respect authority,
Use resources wisely,
Make the world a better place and
Be a sister to every Girl Scout.
Gisela Barajas told me she was proud to be a Girl Scout. And, Layai Johnson said she likes making friends.
Right now, Troop #19785 is the only troop in Watts. But if Officer Tingirides gets her way, there will be Girl Scouts in every elementary and middle school in Watts.

Jay Leno
Jay Leno
A popular comedian during the 1970s, Jay Leno is best known as the man who replaced Johnny Carson at the helm of The Tonight Show in 1992. Leno was born James Douglas Muir Leno to parents of Italian and Scottish heritage (Leno is particularly fond of discussing the Italian part) in New Rochelle, NY, but was raised in Andover, MA. During the year in which he was establishing his standup career, Leno was performing 300 nights throughout North America. He made his television debut on the Merv Griffin Show and his acting debut in Silver Bears (1977). That year he appeared in the cast of the short-lived Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr. Show, a musical variety summer replacement series. By the early '80s, Leno had left behind any notion of becoming an actor because his comedy career was in high gear. His subsequent film appearances have been as himself or as a parody of himself (The Flintstones, 1994). Leno made his first appearance on The Tonight Show on March 2, 1977. Though he can be sharp and is an astute political commentator, there is something nice and comforting about the soft-eyed, lantern-jawed funnyman that appeals to vast middle-American audiences, the same sort who regularly tuned in to Carson. It is small wonder that Leno became Carson's sole guest host by 1987. Leno hosted his first show as Carson's successor on May 25, 1992, with comedian Billy Crystal as his first guest. There was much furor surrounding the selection of Leno as many believed fellow late night gab-meister David Letterman would inherit the throne. Since taking the Tonight Show's reigns, Leno has attempted to inject the show with a slightly hipper edge by featuring more radical musical acts and affecting a more casual look. It's a tough balancing act, for he must do so without alienating his older, more conservative fan base. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

HOLSBROOK, MRS. ETHEL, aged 33; married, North Wilkesboro, N.C. Children: Mozelle, aged 16. Estelle, aged 15. Effie, aged 10. Adia, aged 5.
INCOME: None.
HOME CONDITIONS: The husband has been out of work for over a year and being in poor health it is not probable that he can hold down a job. They have no personal possessions or property. They rent a four-room house which is kept spotlessly clean. They also rent four acres of land which they tend, giving one-third of its produce to its owner. The husband and one of the children, Mozelle, who has heart trouble, should have medical attention but it cannot be afforded. The girl's tonsils have been giving her trouble for around a year but an operation cannot be afforded. The money made from stringing bags all goes for food, which is still not sufficient for their needs. Since the bags have been discontinued temporarily they have had to go in debt at the grocery store. They are unable to buy clothes for the children. She states that she earns as much as $25 a month on the bags which does not interfere with her housework and finds them very enjoyable as a spare time job. This income is absolutely necessary.

Christmas cheer is in the air; and it smells a lot like cheap red wine, Lysol and polyester. Perverted men everywhere are currently gracing their thrones and making questionable comments towards their scantily clad "helpers" under the title of Santa. As the days creep closer and closer to everyone's "favorite" holiday of the year panic ensues. What the fuck do you get your girl for Christmas? It seems like ladies are never satisfied when it comes to gifts; they legitimately act like you handed them a swift high-five gift-wrapped with a bow.
It's either not good enough, insulting or "TOTALLY THE WRONG COLOR!" If your girl is being vague about what she wants this holiday season good luck playing the guessing game but be sure to avoid these five gift-bombs that will for sure get you dumped (unless that's what you want).
This gift is like the 2 Chainz of the gift game; wrong, absurd and insulting. You're either insinuating that her saddle bags (flabby skin under the arm) are getting out of control OR that she needs to work on her hand-job game.
Including a tube of lube with this may or may not send you straight to county jail. Unless your girl has a great sense of humor and this is being followed up by some random silver bangle from Tiffany's YOU'RE OUTTA HERE. Try a jump rope, at least you can watch her boobs bounce.
You might as well save your money to buy her a boob job or at least put some cotton balls in a zip lock so she can shove that in her bra. Guys seem to have a love-hate relationship with this infamous bra; they love the way it looks until it hits the floor then they feel like the biggest chump on the planet, kind of like when people found out that Frank Ocean was actually gay. Handing this to your girl will insinuate that you aren't happy with her rocky mountains and you're ready to hit the bigger slopes. There is a good chance you will meet your maker on Christmas morning from being suffocated to death by a bombshell.
Good way to go? You decide.
"So babe, before you open this I just wanted to let you know that I support you and want you to be the best you that you can be… You're looking a little like Jessica Simpson 2011 but you can definitely become Jessica Simpson circa Dukes of Hazzard by at least March" has never worked in the history of time. The only way to POSSIBLY pull this one off is to buy yourself a membership as well and turn it into a "couples weight loss" goal (if you're 55+ and on Viagra).
Just buy her a case of beer and tell her she's beautiful.
So it's wintertime and your girl is getting lazy with the shaving. This happens to many women around the holidays; some just don't care because they're wearing pants every day and some prefer a nice fur coat for warmth. I mean, you guys have "no shave November" we at least deserve "fuck you legs are a pain in the ass to shave" December right? No? Okay.
Regardless, no (girls or guys) appreciate being lacerated with hair stubs while getting hot and heavy. Most men don't even know what laser hair removal is in the first place so to purchase this gift may leave your lady questioning your sexuality. No one really wants to hear "wait… are you saying I'm too hairy?" on Christmas morning.
Buy her a hairbrush instead.
Guys love strip clubs. Just like cars, grills and sports…it's one of those things that us women just take as it is. No questions asked- we'd rather not know (unless we're there with you). When your guy loves strip clubs so much that he takes the most vital part of the club into the bedroom; then it becomes a gift that will land you right on the couples therapy couch. A stripper pole is usually something that the performer should purchase themselves; it's not like buying a broom because you think your girl should clean more. It's buying a large silver pole and asking for an acrobatic performance on a daily basis.
If this sounds like your idea gift then it sounds like you need to take an adult time-out in your car blasting "I'm In Love With A Stripper" until it's out of your system. Otherwise you might end up replacing the star on top of the tree hanging from that pole.

How is This Site Different From Those of Other New England Paranormal Investigators?
I believe you will find
this website very
from those of other New England paranormal investigators and ghost hunting groups.
If you dislike
strong opinion
fresh ideas
independent thought
, this site will not be for you. Please consider yourself forewarned...
My name is Anthony Duda, a paranormal investigator based in historic and haunted Boston, Massachusetts. I conduct investigations in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont, as well as other regions of the United States and worldwide on a case-by-case basis. As a medical professional and former law enforcement officer,
my experience is much broader than most
, and I bring that
investigational expertise
to Ghosts and Hauntings, EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon), UFO/USO phenomenon and Cryptozoology in this epicenter of strangeness we call New England.
I am not simply another ghost hunter, having
actively investigated the paranormal for over 20 years
, with an intense interest that began in the 1960s. I have preferred to work on a referral basis to ensure the privacy of clients, and am extremely
to have remained
, and not associated or affiliated with any amateur television ghost hunting organization. That is entertainment, and has little to do with real paranormal investigation. Whether a possible haunting or other issue in the paranormal realm, it has allowed me the freedom and
ability to tailor an investigation to the individual circumstances and needs of the client
, and not take the 'one size fits all' approach that has become all too common in this field. Using multidisciplinary methods, along with
the most extensive and diverse arsenal of technology of any paranormal investigator or group in New England and quite possibly the United States
, I may be able to assist you in identifying your problem and offer a possible solution. In my experience, authentic ghosts and hauntings are relatively uncommon. There really isn't a ghost around every corner and in every home, contrary to what many would lead you to believe. In fact, the vast majority of 'hauntings' have mundane and very rational explanations.
Fame and Filler and Fluff. Oh My!
I have been increasingly troubled by the growing number of inexperienced ghost hunting groups in New England. Masquerading as seasoned paranormal investigators, they dispense unsubstantiated theories as scientific fact and potentially harmful advice without caution. While there are some well-established and very reputable groups, it is often difficult to distinguish the good from the bad. Slick, visually impressive websites, dubious affiliations and meaningless awards are certainly
accurate indicators.
Cast a wary eye on individuals or groups whose websites are devoted to marketing and media self-promotion. They can be easily identified by the prominent placement of self-serving industry advertising and even presumptuous 'talent' agency booking information. In my opinion, we have the unfortunate distinction of having one of the worst offenders here in the Boston area: John Brightman and his group,
New England Paranormal Research
. Devoting large chunks of website real estate to the promotion of industry-organized and expensive ghost hunts, conventions and other moneymaking endeavors should beg you to question, if not their motivation, at least their priorities. One must entertain the possibilities of why any individual or group claiming to have your best interests in mind would feature such marketing front and center on their site's homepage, arguably the most important page of any website. Ask yourself, "What information could they have put in that space that would have helped
paranormal problem?". A homepage can speak volumes; it is a first impression, just as when you meet someone for the first time. It sets the foundation and direction for the rest of the site, and offers extremely clear insight into what an individual or group deems important. While I do not
have an issue with any individual or group, such websites are textbook examples of why the field of paranormal investigation has a credibility crisis, and only serve to make everyone look bad in the eyes of the public. The paranormal has become big business and, while your goal is to seek discreet help with your paranormal problem, theirs is to attract national attention, or at least to achieve a level of regional notoriety. Notice the group and individual photos on many of these sites. Look familiar? Of course, as they are attempting to slavishly emulate their TV ghost hunting heroes: The poses. The angles. The ridiculously somber expressions. Sometimes even the black vehicles! Often the true agenda of the group's founder or leader is not to be in your home, but to be in millions of homes every week. While anxiously awaiting their big break, these 'wannabe celebrities' are much more interested in hawking their books, promoting their web series and advertising their convention appearances than honestly helping the public, regardless of their
intentions. And if I may again turn my attention to Mr. Brightman and his New England Paranormal Research website for a moment and ask, a
fan page
, John? I mean,
Does a group display a "TAPS Family Member" (The Atlantic Paranormal Society a.k.a.
Ghost Hunters
) or "GAC" (
Ghost Adventures
Crew) seal on their website? Run! They are simply amateur ghost clubs, not serious paranormal investigators, and are attempting to ride the coattails of a TV show. It is truly puzzling why any group wanting to foster an image of legitimacy and professionalism would choose to affiliate with an organization based on entertainment television, not real paranormal investigation. In terms of fun and ghost hunts, there is a place for that
Scooby Doo
-type of investigation. However, if you suspect that you may have a serious paranormal problem, your home is not one of them.
Has their website been regularly updated and maintained? Check the dates. If it has been a while since an individual or group has bothered to add new information to their site or blog, ask yourself, "How committed can they be?".
Does a site appear better suited for a Halloween haunted house attraction than a serious paranormal investigative team, cluttered with floating ghosts, flapping bats and all the rest? Move on. That effort and technology could have been utilized and put to much better use helping the widest range of people to understand and get the most out of their site. I have instead employed technology to provide synthesized text audio in the two predominant languages spoken in the United States for visitors diagnosed with low vision or who are otherwise visually impaired, as well as the use of Google Translate to easily translate the text to a visitor's native language. Controls can be found at the top of each page of this website.
Additionally, be aware of fluff articles in local newspapers and community guides featuring any particular ghost hunting group. Many times a member of the group will know someone on the staff, or the group will contact the publication to offer their story. During an off-season time of year, those articles are used as filler. Also, as Halloween approaches, you will see such articles more frequently. It's free publicity and not inherently bad, but offers little insight in to the quality or abilities of any group.
More information and tips can be found on my
Ghost Hunting Myths
Ghost Hunting Questions
Okay, so what's the flip side to that 'dark' side?
While the waters have definitely become murky over the past several years in New England, it's not all doom and gloom.
paranormal investigation can still be found without the circus and drama coming to town...and into your home. How? Just conduct a little paranormal investigation of your own! Using the information supplied, research some of the ghost hunter and paranormal investigator websites in your area; the information (and the problems) are
exclusive to New England. Make some calls. Do some digging. Personalities and style differ, and no group or individual (myself included) is perfect in every respect. Not every issue listed above is a deal breaker. Some are relatively minor but others, such as the "I wannabe a paranormal star!" websites, are best avoided. In fact, if the choice were to deal with one of those pompous paranormal 'divas' and their hyper-inflated egos
contract bubonic plague, I'd opt for the latter. And, yes, I'd be happy to help you with your paranormal problem; please never hesitate to
contact me
. My only purpose is to assist you, the client, in getting the help you need while avoiding the drama that you, almost certainly, would otherwise encounter.
How else is this paranormal website different?
is to make this the most
paranormal website on the Internet. It will not remain static, but
and always
. I will sometimes be
, often
, and maybe just a bit sarcastic. My
is not to try to convince you of the paranormal, as no scientific proof exists, regardless of what some may claim. My
is to clarify and help you negotiate what has become a minefield of misguided information and blatant attempts to deceive. I've left the amateur ghost hunter websites to others. Here you will find
. Here you will find
. And yes, here you will find
Truth is spookier than fiction..
So, sit by the warm fire with your hot chocolate (or something a bit stronger) and your dog sleeping at your feet. Curl up in bed with your cat and your comfy pajamas (the ones you would never let your boyfriend see you in) ...and read on. The ghosts, monsters and aliens are outside, but you're cozy and safe in here.
Thanks for visiting!
Help me to help you...
In the two decades that I've been in the paranormal field, I've never charged for an investigation, as crazy as it may seem. Travel expenses, my time and the cost of keeping this website up and running have easily topped…well, the dollar amount is more frightening than anything paranormal I've encountered! If you find my website and blog as helpful as a book you might have had to buy or a class that others with questionable motives had insisted you needed to take, feel free to help me continue helping everyone, and please consider a modest donation. It's awesome people like you who help me to keep all of this going, and to you I say, "Thanks!".

As I See It
Sara-Anne Eames
---- — Every year that I live in Newburyport, I find new things that I've never explored. I would like to share a most recent find with you. I have eaten at Whittier Regional Vocational Technical High School's Poet's Inn and had the delicious food offered by the Culinary Arts students. But I had no idea of the educational opportunities and the career/work expertise that is available at this wonderful school.
Last month, I had the pleasure of meeting Eileen Lawton, a journalism teacher, at Whittier. She had offered to show me the entire school and I enthusiastically responded. It has always amazed me that I had seen so little news printed in the paper about the wonderful opportunities and activities available to our local students at this facility.
I was advised by school personnel that during 2013 Whittier will celebrate its 40th anniversary. What a celebration! Ninety percent of Whittier Tech students who took the English MCAS last spring scored in the advanced proficiency category. On math scores for the 2014 graduating class, they exceeded the year before in both English and math and passing rates were significantly higher than state averages.
Their outside school projects are very successful and cost-effective. Electrical students went to Hill View Montessori Charter School in Haverhill and installed SmartBoards and projectors, mounted a large-screen TV and this fall will renovate their kitchen. These projects are being done by four seniors in electrical technology and they helped keep expenses down for the charter school. Dozens of community service projects are completed by Whittier students every year.
Seventeen students worked on the Amesbury Little League's concession stand behind Cashman Elementary School. They installed three new fiberglass doors with hardware and locks and covered all the trim with new vinyl siding.
I observed a full-size home being built in the carpentry shop at Whittier. This project is done during junior and senior years at school. Academic classes in algebra, English, science and computer science were in session during my tour. Many graduates go on to leading colleges and training programs.
Whittier educates students from 11 area cities and towns, offering skill and specialized training in 19 fields. One can graduate with a high school diploma and an industry certificate. There are 120 highly qualified teachers who can instruct in health care, electronics, robotics, carpentry, cosmetology, electrical, CAD drafting, culinary arts, etc. Students gain the necessary knowledge to pass any English, math and science MCAS tests required for a diploma. Students can earn college credits and receive valuable job experience by qualifying for paid co-op jobs as early as their junior year.
"Working on Your Future" is an outstanding motto for this remarkable school. The students participate in the Santa Parade every year with an innovative float. They win a prize every year. I saw this year's float, and it will surpass past years, I am sure.
In their library above the books and one next to another are wonderful murals of various shapes of colors completed by the art students. The Drama Club is performing "High School Musical 2" on March 15-17. The first tryouts were held on the day I had my tour, Nov. 14.
In sports programs, all students are given an opportunity to participate. Vocational education may be more expensive what with the technology, machinery, computers, etc., which cost more than textbooks; however, the job opportunities upon graduation, especially in our current job market, are well worth it.
Whittier, "a must-see" for all students getting ready for high school as a viable, workable and highly rewarding choice/option.

What is GIS Day?
GIS Day is free to attend both for the public and presenters, supported by County departments and funded by the County's enterprise GIS Program. We invite you to join us to learn more about how the County, government agencies, private companies, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in emergency response, social services and administration to make life better in Los Angeles County.
The theme for GIS Day 2013 is "Tying LA County Together" - since we use maps and GIS to coordinate and bring our cities and communities together.

When and where is the event?
After two great years at Public Works headquarters in Alhambra, GIS Day makes its return to the Olive Court at Grand Park, where it all started.
Wednesday, November 20th, 2013
9:00am to 3:00pm
Los Angeles County Grand Park, Olive Court
200 N. Grand Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90012
GIS Day is celebrated nationally as part of National Geography Awareness Week. Click here for more information.
What is GIS?
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are powerful software technologies that allow vast amounts of information to be linked to geographic locations. Using the concept of an "electronic" or digital map, GIS records, stores, and analyzes multiple layers of spatial data and relates this data to locations of interest (e.g., communities, neighborhoods and people that live there). These layers contain data in the form of points (e.g., addresses, locations, etc.), lines (e.g., streets, highways, etc.), polygons (e.g., areas, political jurisdictions, etc.) and images that can be viewed in various combinations to identify and display underlying spatial relationships.
Who is our audience?
GIS Day is a chance for GIS staff, students, and residents from around the County to share what they are doing with GIS, make connections, and to reach out to the public and to other using GIS technologies. We invite government departments, cities, and agnencies, along with colleges, and private vendors to showcase their programs and capabilities to folks who want to learn more. Our audience varies in its understanding of GIS, so we are looking to illustrate that the use and value of GIS are limited only by imagination.
Click here for a GIS Day video made after our 2009 event.
GIS Day Cake
This year we will be celebrating GIS Day with a cake that will be served after GIS Day concludes at 2:30.
GIS Day Sponsors
Our sponsors will be recognized here; as well as at the event. Thanks again to our sponsors that made this possible – click here.
Other questions?
Please contact Mark Greninger by phone (213 253-5624) or email (firstname.lastname@example.com) with other questions or issues. We look forward to your participation in this event.

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

Baby Boomers Keep Learning With Continuing Education Classes
Many older students take classes, learn new things, and have fun doing it.
Clarice Belcher is 58. She taught English at community colleges, worked at a newspaper, and never thought much about economics. But her life partner is interested in the subject, so Belcher decided to enroll in an economics class at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Emory University in Atlanta.
"Honestly, at the end of that [class], I said, 'This is not rocket science. I can do this. I can understand this. I can learn this!'" Belcher says.
Since taking her first class in spring of 2011, Belcher has enrolled in several more courses and is currently a member of the curriculum committee. At OLLI, many students are experienced enough to also teach courses, and with her education background, Belcher now teaches a class called The Language of Compassion. She's also enrolled in The History of Vietnam, which has been a real eye-opener for her.
"I wasn't affected by Vietnam in the same way that I know a lot of people were. I didn't know men who went there. It's as if I have a chance to get caught up on a piece of my generation that I missed," she says.
Classes geared toward older students are not unusual at American universities, though their labels can get tricky. Courses like the ones Belcher has attended and taught are sometimes referred to as lifelong learning classes, or they might be part of a continuing education department. Some courses are offered for credit, and some are not.
There are 117 Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes in universities across the country that receive grant money from the Bernard Osher Foundation, an organization that provides funding to post-secondary schools for various programs. The institutes offer noncredit courses to people age 50 and older. But the idea is the same across the board: to continue learning for yourself rather than for a degree.
[Learn which colleges have the most older students.]
Belcher points out that no one in her Osher classes is attending because their parents told them to, and they aren't showing up because they feel it's the next step after high school. Her classmates and students decided they wanted to expand the breadth of their knowledge, and they are simply making that happen.
Lifelong learning is not limited to the classroom. Brandon Garcia, director of public relations for continuing education at University of Utah, says the most popular courses in the university's continuing education program are fitness classes such as yoga and triathlon training.
Garcia is a lifelong learning student, too, though he prefers courses such as classical guitar, sculpture, and meditation. He double majored in ecology and philosophy for his undergraduate degree and says he was very "nose to the grindstone." With noncredit, lifelong learning classes, there are no exams or grades.
"You're actually just diving in," Garcia says of the freedoms of continuing education. "You're just there to soak it in."
And often, people who take classes simply to learn rather than to fulfill a graduation requirement or please teachers seem to want to talk about it. Belcher and King Mengert, the OLLI program manager at Emory, along with Garcia in Utah, say that there never seems to be a lack of discussion in their lifelong learning classes. And like the camaraderie that often builds in more traditional discussion classes, Garcia says the intellectual discourse once or twice a week in continuing education courses can build a community feel.
[Learn how community college students can get scholarships.]
"There's something about collective learning where you really form bonds with people. You're working on projects together; you're excited about things together; and I think that you form unique friendships in that environment," Garcia says.
Those class discussions are part of what brought Sal DePasquale to OLLI. Both a teacher and a student, he says that before he began taking classes at Emory, he was annoyed at the nonstop chatter of television news reporters and pundits.
"I desperately was seeking some place where I could have a discourse that wasn't shouting heads, as I was getting, where I could have a discourse with people that I felt were at least on the same planet that I was on," he says.

The Duncan Banner
Pierce Robert Stevens, 94, of Duncan, passed away Wednesday morning, Sept. 11, 2013, in Lawton.
Pierce was born Sept. 18, 1918, in Duncan, to Joe and Frances Stevens. Pierce married Cannie G. Cranford on Oct. 26, 1940, in Paducah, Texas. He and his bride moved to Glendale, Calif., where he worked in the aircraft industry rigging flight controls for the Lockheed P38 Lighting fighter aircraft. He then joined the US Army and fought in the Philippines where he was awarded the Purple Heart for injuries he received.
After an honorable discharged from the US Army, he worked at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills, Calif. In 1961, Pierce moved his family back to Oklahoma, where he established a small business. Early in the 1970s, he worked for the City of Duncan, as a lake ranger for Lake Fuqua.
After his retirement in May of 1981, they moved to Meridian. Pierce enjoyed and loved to raise his horses throughout his life.
During his retirement he researched and built two authentic stagecoaches. They both could be seen at most every local parade. It was Pierce's plan to build a horse-drawn hearse to be used for his funeral but couldn't be completed due to his failing health.
Pierce is survived by his son, Jerry Stevens of Oklahoma City; daughter, Shirley and her husband Tim Helton of Duncan; grandchildren: Shad Stevens and Shelley Wallace of Boise, Idaho, Chase Stevens and Erin Stevens of Weatherford, Scott Helton of Tulsa, and Holly Rofofson of Norman; eight great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren; sisters: Bessie Carroll of Brea, Calif., and Edna Thompson of Ruidoso, N.M.; and many nieces and nephews.
Pierce is preceded in death by his wife of 62 years, Cannie Stevens; parents, Joe and Frances Stevens; son, Robert W. Stevens; a brother and four sisters.
Funeral service will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 14, in the chapel at Don Grantham Funeral Home in Duncan, with the Rev. Tracy L. Wilson officiating. Interment will follow in Duncan Cemetery with military honors presented by the Stephen County Honor Guard.
Online condolences may be made online at www.granthamfuneralhomes.com and a memorial register book is available at the funeral home.
Pallbearers will be Danny Bray, Bill Pulis, Reuben Pulis, Dwane Stevens, Alan Rolofson and Scott Helton.

CHAMPLAIN — A nine-hole disc golf course will soon become an attraction to the Village of Champlain's downtown.
The equipment has been ordered, according to Mayor Greg Martin, paid for with tobacco money that is also helping fund a playground.
"People were looking for someplace to take their kids, and this just seemed right," he said about the playground project, which began about a year ago.
With Champlain Elementary School and St. Mary's Academy both closed, village children no longer had a playground.
The village's Community Garden, located between Main and Water streets, has proven successful over the past three years, and it brings people into the village center, Martin said.
He hopes the disc golf course and playground will do the same.
"It'll brighten up the downtown; it'll bring more people down," he said.
The playground will be set up to the east of the garden, with equipment from both schools donated to the village and refurbished in-house.
Some pieces may be purchased, as well, the mayor said.
Fundraisers and money donated from local companies also contributed to the project.
"The Village Board has some flood buyout land, property that floods whenever we have an ice jam," Martin said. "So it's laying here undeveloped, and we decided that would be a perfect place for a playground."
Once a federal buyout has taken place, with the homes and businesses either torn down or moved, no permanent structure can be placed there ever again.
Martin noted that the land hasn't flooded in about seven years.
"We've been in the process over the past couple of months, when time allows, to dig a few holes … we've started getting ready to put (the playground equipment) in the ground," he said.

RALEIGH — Gov. Pat McCrory continued to stand by the head of his state health agency Friday, amid Democrats mounting calls for her ouster in the latest controversy to hit the administration.
The governors office released a statement of support for Health and Human Services Secretary Aldona Wos after the Legislative Black Caucus simultaneously held five news conferences around the state calling for McCrory to immediately replace her.
The governor has confidence that Secretary Wos and her team are working hard to ensure that those who need benefits receive benefits, spokesman Ryan Tronovitch said in a statement. Another gimmicky press scheme from the extreme left wont help solve the problem.
McCrory met with members of the black caucus numerous times last year.
His remarks came after a week in which troubles at the state health agency overshadowed his message about the states improving economy and threatened to spoil a reset at the one-year mark of his term. McCrory made fixing what he called a broken government a priority and recently said he needed more time.
The Republican governor started the week answering questions about how the agency violated federal privacy laws when it sent 49,000 insurance cards for children to the wrong addresses, and days later the DHHS communications director announced he was leaving for a new job.
For months, problems have plagued the agency and spurred calls for Wos resignation. The latest controversy came after the black caucus discovered a Dec. 11 letter from the federal government threatening to sanction the state for failing to show it was taking steps to fix widespread problems with food stamp applications.
Whats happening at DHHS now is embarrassing and humiliating to every person in the state of North Carolina, said Rep. Yvonne Holley, a Raleigh Democrat at the news conference in the statehouse. Weve had not one, not two, not three but several repeated and consistent issues.
Rep. Rosa Gill, another Raleigh Democrat, said, DHHS is in a state of crisis. It is time for the governor to step up and say enough is enough.
The governors office said that the U.S. Department of Agriculture letter was nearly a month old and that the agency is taking corrective action.
DHHS officials also pushed back against the federal governments letter, saying it overestimated the number of households affected by the delays in the computer software NC FAST that manages the states food stamp program.
The numbers USDA is using is not an accurate depiction, said Julie Henry, a DHHS spokeswoman.
In the letter, federal officials said the data showed more than 20,000 households experienced delays in receiving benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. But Henry said that includes people who received their food assistance for that month on time, even if the documents werent processed by the end of the previous month as the federal government requires.
Henry could not provide a number illustrating how many people are experiencing delays in getting the food assistance each month but acknowledged delays continue to plague the new system. Im not going to say everybody gets their benefits on time all of the time and there are not problems, she said.
In the states response to the federal government, Henry said the agency hopes to have the backlog cleared by March.
A legislative oversight committee is scheduled to meet Tuesday, and the latest problems will factor prominently into the meeting, lawmakers said.
Rep. Jim Fulghum, a Raleigh Republican, said the issues raised in the USDA letter concerned him. They said they were taking care of it, he said of agency leaders. I didnt know it was as big a problem as it appears to have been.
But Fulghum said his confidence is not really waning in Wos. I frankly think she has the hardest job, he said Friday. I dont know how any human being could manage this situation.

Kigamboni MP kicked out of House
National Assembly deputy speaker Job Ndugai barred Kigamboni MP, Dr Fausitine Ndungulile, from participating three House sessions over failure to prove allegations against the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Human Settlement Development.
He will stay out of Parliament today, Monday and Tuesday next week.
When debating ministry's budget estimates, the MP claimed that councillors in his constituency were in agreement that the Kigamboni New City Project had failed, therefore "the government should look for another place to implement it".
According to Dr Ndungulile, said he doubted that four councillors from Kigamboni the Minister, Prof Anna Tibaijuka, introduced in the House as her visitors, who were supporting the project, because he understood there was a consensus amongst all councillors in his constituency that the project "is a failure". "The four councillors, who have come here as visitors of the minister indicate there, are elements of corruption. We have agreed that no councillor should support this project. But why only these four has gone against the agreement and there are more than 40 councillors?" he queried.
Interviewed outside the Parliament shortly after being kicked out yesterday, Dr Ndungulile said justice had not taken its course, but vowed to fight to the end.
Ndugai used Parliamentary Standing Order Number 73 to sideline the MP from participating in House sessions.

Last year when Rice County was ranked the county out of Minnesota's 87 counties, Rice County Community Health Services Director Anna Haubrich said there was always room for improvement.
There's a little more room this year—Rice County dropped to the 32nd healthiest county, according to the County Health Rankings, a collaborative effort of the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. In 2010, the first year this annual report was published, Rice County ranked 23rd.
For 2012, Rice County ranks 17th for health factors (15th last year) and 32nd for health outcomes (18th last year).
Rice County received its best ranking of second in health behaviors, a subcategory of health factors. Considerations for that category include adult smoking (11 percent of county residents), adult obesity (24 percent), excessive drinking (16 percent), motor vehicle crash death rate (15 per 100,000 population), sexually transmitted infections (191 per 100,000) and teen birth rate (21 per 1,000). All those were down from 2011, except for teen birth rate, which stayed the same.
Haubrich told Northfield Patch last year that the county has worked hard in recent years to combat smoking and encourage exercise and better diet. Being on the right side of those three issues, Haubrich said, helps people avoid chronic disease.
Rice County's worst ranking is in the social and economic category, where it ranked 58th. Considered in this category are the unemployment rate (8.1 percent), children in poverty (12 percent), inadequate social support (17 percent) and children in single-parent homes (26 percent).
Rounding out the assessment was a 25th ranking for clinical care and 39th ranking for physical environment, which considers air pollution, access to healthy food, and the number of fast food restaurants.
Though it's only one report, Haubrich said that it's best to take it—and other assessments—at face value, regardless of the results.
"I look at what they look at to get to these numbers and I think it's pretty thorough," she said. "I don't look it as a criticism … I look it as a tool to improve."
Dakota County was ranked the county. Steele County was ranked No. 1.
