Nexus pipeline planners host open house in SwantonWritten by Don Lee | | firstname.lastname@example.com
A proposed 42-inch natural gas pipeline may run farther away from homes in eastern Fulton County, leaving opponents cautiously optimistic and pipeline planners insisting nothing's set in stone.
Meanwhile, another pipeline proposal surfaced in the last few days, with a resident in southeast Fulton County getting a letter asking for permission to survey his property for the route of a smaller gas pipeline.
One of a series of public information sessions about the Nexus gas transmission lines took place Feb. 11 at Swanton High School.
Maps on stands placed prominently around the school's cafeteria still showed the Nexus "study corridor" hewing closely to the north-south route of an existing high-tension electric line. However, two interactive maps set up so property owners could see how close the pipeline came to their properties show an alternate route running about one mile west.
Arthur Diestel, spokesman for Texas-based Spectra Energy, the company behind the Nexus plan, said the company was looking at several routes and welcomed community input.
He would not say specifically, though, whether opposition from groups organized along the pipeline route factored in to the alternative routes.
That opposition made its presence felt, with picketers outside and just inside the school and a section of drain tile meant to represent a 42-inch pipeline sitting in the bed of a pickup in the school's parking lot.
About 200 people, including property owners along the proposed route, local interested residents and local public officials, milled around the Swanton High cafeteria amid maps on stands, tables of exhibits and handouts and giveaway water bottles, chip clips and pens embossed with the Nexus name. Blue-shirted Nexus officials and two employees of a private contractor hired by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to represent the government agency were there to field questions.
Also there was Paul Gierosky, whose opposition to the Nexus plan to cross his Medina County property evolved into a network of neighborhood activists along the pipeline's planned 240-mile route — including the group that firmed in Fulton County in December as Neighbors against Nexus and is now the Northwest Ohio chapter of the Coalition to Reroute Nexus, or CORN.
"We started out as Coalition Against Nexus," Gierosky said, but added the group is not so much against pipelines as in favor of them being rerouted away from large numbers of people.
"Being 'for' something is an easier sell," he said.
Protecting the pipeline is also part of the goal, he said.
"A lot of the problems these things have is because of people digging (into) them," he said.
However, news that another pipeline company abandoned plans to install a line to link up with the pipeline network in Southeast Michigan, partly because of protests along the heavily populated route, was good news, he said.
The group's efforts have included proposing alternate routes that would carry the buried pipe through farmland. Asked how property owners along the alternate routes regard those ideas, Gierosky said the opposition to the pipeline drops in less densely populated areas.
Additionally, some farmers have indicated they'd like the pipeline crossing their property because of payments they'd receive for easements and rights-of-way. Once the pipeline is buried, according to regulations governing them, farming is allowed as long as the roots of whatever is planted don't interfere with the pipeline.
Meanwhile, at least one local, landowner has received a letter from still another pipeline company interested in crossing his property.
William Mack, who lives in southeastern Swancreek Township in Fulton County, said he heard Feb. 2 from Kinder-Morgan, a company planning the 12-inch Utopia pipeline project to link the Utica shale-gas fields to an existing pipeline already in Fulton County.
"I'm not even sure where they want to survey," Mack said.
According to the company website, Kinder-Morgan wants a 12-inch pipeline running 240 miles from Harrison County to the company's existing Cochin pipeline in Fulton County, and so connecting to a gas pipeline grid in Michigan that links to an export hub in Ontario, Canada.
That's also the goal of the Nexus pipeline backers: linking the Marcellus and Utica shale-gas fields in and near southeast Ohio to the export hub in Ontario.
Three more open houses for the Nexus pipeline are scheduled, part of the FERC requirements for the licensing process:
- 5-7:30 p.m. Feb 12 at Central Park West, 3141 Central Park West Ave., Toledo
- 5-7:30 p.m. Feb. 17 at Adrian Tobias Center, Adrian College, Adrian
- 5-7:30 p.m. Feb. 18 at Lincoln High School, 7425 Willis Ave., Ypsilanti.

For $16 I didn't have the highest of hopes. Boy was I surprised! I've shot from 3/4 up to 2" brads with it, and haven't had a misfire. (Well, other than the time I accidentally fired it into a sunken screw head.)I first bought this to attach 1/2 inch slats of treated wood for siding on my kids' clubhouse. I have used it over and over since then, and every time I shake my head and grin a little. Ya see, I normally only buy the very best when it comes to tools. This brad gun was an exception since I only planned on using it for one project. Happy to say, in this case, I proved myself wrong.

I've always had good luck with HF tools with no failures...till now. This nailer was a great price in which I could not refuse. It worked great when I pulled it out of the box, set it up and test it out. However, on day 2 when I used it again as soon as I plugged it in it, without touching the trigger, shot 2 nails out. One scratched my brand new vanity. I tried again but this time when I pulled the trigger air just leaked out. This thing is a piece of JUNK and DANGEROUS! Due to the second fact, I never buying this brand nailer again.

Can't beat it for the price

Great nail gun for the price. No need to go spend $100's on a name brand
I use this tool in my woodworking shop.
By Don
from S.C.
My old brad nailer gave up after 16 years and was no longer supported by Harbor Freight so I ordered a new one at a great price. The new one has a much better safety as it is no longer necessary to fool around with a double trigger and it has a window to check brad supply without having to stop and open it. Looking forward to using it.Thanks for the oil that came with it.

About Me Professional
Why spend top coin on name brand nailers when this nailer preforms just as we'll and for $16 with a usual discount. it's crazy to think people actually waste your coin on name brand brad nailers when they're not worth it!!! I use it with no issues on a 1hp 3gallon compressor.
Great little tool
By Gary
from Pittsburgh
I picked this unit up to tack trim to some cabinets I was making for the garage. Worked like a charm! No idea how this will hold-up long term, but for twenty bones it did the trick for me and then some! I used it for about an hour today with no issues or jams (guess that'd be an issue) or misfires. I set the line pressure to ~80 PSI and proceeded to tack my trim in place in no time at all. Definitely recommend for the casual DIY'er.

great time saver
By Chazam
from Auburndale, FL
I bought this nailer because I had a job coming up that required overhead nailing, which I hate. It worked perfectly at first, and then refused to shoot nails. I opened the front using the very handy snap lock and saw that the nail in firing position had separated and was out of position. I tossed that nail out and finished the job with no more problems. I will repeat what others have said, why didn't I get one of these years ago. Another piece of advice I am following is "feed it (with oil) every time you feed yourself". So glad I bought this.

St Francis was not above the magisterial teachings of the Church – and neither is the Pope
What perhaps we are not seeing from this Pope is the mystical and ecstatic characteristics of St Francis
Minute-by-minute coverage of the historic visit to the birthplace of St Francis
Some think it ironic that pugnacious Mrs Thatcher should pray for harmony. But she was closer to St Francis than you may think.
She believed also in truth, in faith, and in hope where there was despair; and she prayed for these things, too.
The cardinal was calling for a religious revival, not for the abolition of unpopular Church teachings

More Moving Thoughts: Adding to Rikki Kite's blog entry
Paw Prints: Writings of the maddog
Last week my colleague Rikki Kite wrote a good blog entry on how to gracefully introduce a person to Linux. She pointed out that just telling a person to "move to Linux" is not enough, and that most people will "get lost in the move". She used an analogy of moving a friend to a new house.
I would like to add a few more pointers to her excellent "moving" blog entry:
Tip #0.4 – A new house may not be necessary, just add on a room or two of Free Software
Depending on the situation, it may be that all the person really needs is a new browser, a new music player, or an office system. You may find a gradual introduction to Free Software is better than an "all or nothing" approach. Rikki did mention "a remodel", but I just wanted to make sure that the agent knows what our friend really needs.
Tip #1.3 – Is this a guest house, a vacation house, or the main residence?
Tell the person that there is the concept of a dual-boot, or using a virtual machine to have both a copy of Linux and a copy of windows on the same machine at the same time.
Tip #1.5 – You probably do not want the same house I have.
You may want a "starter" house...small and compact. I started with that type of house, but then I lived in a rather large dome home, and now I am living in a smaller house again.
Likewise I may use a distribution that is not really that good for someone new to Linux, or (as Rikki's friend) just wants "basic web surfing, photo album and music".
When I go to a conference, people always ask me what distribution I use, and I patiently tell them that it does not matter. Which distribution is best for them is the real question.
Tip #3.2 – Take your friend to the Automobile Club of America for some maps
Not really, but in trying to keep with Rikki's motif in her blog entry, one road map may not be enough. I would suggest taking the friend's hand and eventually going to a bookstore to find a good beginners book on Linux. A lot of large bookstores these days have coffee shops in them, and you and your friend can get a cup of coffee while looking over the different beginners' books on Linux. You may also find that some of these books have a recent distribution of Linux in the back that your friend can use to get started.
Tip #6.3 – Introduce your friend to the rest of their neighbors
While it is fine to personally help your friend out, there may be a day when they have to take out the trash and you won't be around to show them the way to the town dump. You should show them how to create a few constructive searches on the Internet for things like "backup+linux" and other keywords. Show them where sourceforge.net is, and how to use the program for adding software to your disk that is used with their distribution.
You might also introduce them to their local "Linux users group" that may have meetings in their area, so after a while these people can also become "mentors" to the user user.
I did not really want to "build a huge house here", just add some thoughts to Rikki's blog entry. So I will throw out the same challenge she did, for you to add other thoughts to the bottom of her blog entry.
Proper introductionsEtiquette requires that introductions should be done from lowest status to highest, so the proper form should be, "Linux, this is so-and-so. So-and-so, this is Linux." Just to be clear, Tux holds the high ground.

Grow a beard and grab a pint of real ale because this week, the boys are driving classic cars. Jeremy has a Fiat 124 Spyder, James has a Peugeot 304 Cabriolet and Richard will be spending a lot of time, at the side of the road, looking at his (broken and probably steaming) MGB GT. If they can navigate the country roads of England, they plan to take the cars for a track day.
Richard also drives the more reliable Subaru WRX STi and Volkswagen Golf R on the track.
Gary Lineker is the Star in the Reasonably Priced Car.moreless
Captain Slow becomes Captain Mudlark this week when he takes on the professionals at Rallycross. Jeremy and Richard provide support for their colleague in ways which will undoubtedly not be supportive. Or, indeed, helpful in any way.
Jeremy is on the track with the Jaguar F-type R as well as the Eagle Low Drag GT - a modern interpretation of the legendary E-type Jaguar. Richard is in Catalonia with a new version of another legend - the Mazda MX-5.
Nicholas Hoult is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.moreless
Richard Hammond has been abandoned on a snow covered mountain in Canada. To be rescued, he uses a watch that has an emergency beacon built into it. Activating the beacon alerts Jeremy and James - who are in London - and not entirely enthusiastic to rush to their colleague's aid.
Eventually, once the wine runs out, they set off to rescue hum, using two pick up trucks: Jeremy chooses the Hennessey-tuned Ford F-150 VelociRaptor and James has the Chevrolet Silverado Z71.
On the Top Gear track, Jeremy drives the Lexus RC F and Gillian Anderson is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.moreless
Jeremy and James pay a rather unusual tribute to Peugeot with some 'interesting' driving, artillery shells and a pepper grinder. James travels to Italy to drive the Ferrari La Ferrari; the only car in the world to remind you what it is called. Richard is on the track with the Porsche GTS and a Corvette. Olly Murs is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.moreless
Jeremy drives two BMWs this week: the M4 and the hybrid i8. Richard drives a Land Rover up the face of a dam to mark the end the marque's production in the UK. James drives the new Mercedes AMG GT.
Will smith and Margot Robbie are the Star(s) in a Reasonably Priced Car.moreless
This week"s ambitious (but probably rubbish) plan is to improve the British ambulance. Jeremy, James and Richard attempt to make it quicker and more efficient for those life or death visits to A&E. F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo is the star in the Reasonably Priced Car.
The boys embark on a road trip across Australia's vast Northern Territory. Jeremy drives the BMW M6 Gran Coupe, Richard has a Bentley Continental GT V8 and James has the Nissan GT-R. There's also the odd crocodile, much dust and many cows.
Kiefer Sutherland is the star in the Reasonably Priced Car.moreless
Jeremy, James and Richard are in Russia for a race across the city of Saint Petersburg to find the fastest mode of transport. Richard will travel by bicycle, James is in the Renault Twizy and Jeremy's voice will be drowning out the sound of a hovercraft. The Stig will try to beat all of them by using public transport.
Back at the Top Gear track, Richard drives the new Lamborghini Huracan and Ed Sheeran is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.moreless

Christiana Figueres, the executive secretary of the United Nation's Framework Convention on Climate Change, recently made a devastating admission… the goal of environmental activism is not to save the world from terrifying environmental calamity, but to end capitalism.
"This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution," she said.
Referring to a new international treaty environmentalists hope will be adopted at the Paris climate change conference later this year, she added: "This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model for the first time in human history."
Climate change our biggest threat,
If worse, I will break out a sweat.
Global Governance, you bet!
My war on King Coal not over yet.

Aaron passes the torch to Bonds
SAN FRANCISCO -- Before the baseball winds up on eBay, before we make up our minds what the new record means (if we can) and before Pedro Gomez is assigned to follow around Alex Rodriguez, let's pause for a few words from the former home run king.
"I would like to offer my congratulations to Barry Bonds on becoming baseball's career home run leader," Hank Aaron said in a video message played on the AT&T Park scoreboard after Bonds hit his 756th home run. "It is a great accomplishment which requires skill, longevity and determination. Throughout the past century, the home run has held a special place in baseball and I have been privileged to hold this record for 33 of those years. I move over now and offer my best wishes to Barry and his family on this historical achievement.
"My hope today, as it was on that April evening in 1974, is that the achievement of this record will inspire others to chase their own dreams."
The words struck the proper note on a historic night, especially compared to how commissioner Bud Selig shoved his hands in his pockets and stifled a yawn for 755. Aaron's message was simple, gracious and encouraging. A lot of people hold differing opinions on what Bonds has achieved (and how), but Aaron reminded us that records are set, records are broken and what really matters is how those numbers move and inspire us.
"It meant everything, absolutely everything," Bonds said of the message. "We've all admired Hank Aaron, all have so much respect for him, everyone in the game. Right now, everything's hitting me so fast, I'm at a loss for words again but it was absolutely the best."
"If my dad had been gracious enough to give up a home run to Hank, we'd both have given up 756," Bacsik said. "I'm excited. We won the game and I got to see history. I dreamed about this when I was a kid. Unfortunately when I dreamed about it, I was the one hitting the home run."
After giving up a single and a double earlier in the game, Bacsik ran the count full to Bonds in the fifth. With the best hitter of his generation waiting at the plate and what felt like the entire city of San Francisco leaning in, Bacsik threw a fastball, trying to go down and away. Bonds had other plans.
One moment the baseball was heading to home plate in the mid-80s and the next it was rocketing the opposite direction much, much faster.
Bonds instantly knew the ball would land in the bleachers, which he should after hitting so many home runs. He raised both arms in jubilation and watched the ball clear the center-field fence, then circled the bases while fans cheered and fireworks exploded in the sky.
Fans elsewhere may have conflicting opinions of Bonds, but not San Francisco fans. They know what his 15 seasons with the team mean. There were fans who have attended Giants games practically since they moved to San Francisco and there were fans who were at their very first game (and won't they have something to tell their grandkids?). They clapped and whistled, hugged and slapped hands, laughed and cried.
Meanwhile, the home run glanced off the index finger of a fan named Brian Herman ("I thought it broke my finger") and then bounced into the crowd to his left. Fans dove into a furious scrum and the guy who eventually came up with the ball was a man identified as Matt Murphy, a 22-year-old from Queens, N.Y., in a Mets jersey who was passing through San Francisco on his way to Australia. Security guards waded into the mass and helped Murphy leave the stadium with the ball firmly in his grasp.
It's all about history. Pretty soon someone will come along and pass him.
Willie Mays on Barry Bonds' new record
When Bonds reached home plate, he pointed emphatically to the sky in recognition of his late father, Bobby. He was greeted by his family and teammates, applauded by the Nationals. He hugged his wife and he hugged his mother. "My mom has always been there, she's the one who drove me to my Little League games and took me to school all the time," he said later. "My mom was the concession stand lady, selling hot dogs out of the concession stand. My mom was the one who was there when my dad was never there."
He pointed to several sections of the stadiums, saluting the fans. Then he walked down to the third-base line where he met Willie Mays. "Willie has been there for me ever since my dad has been gone, been that mentor to me and kept me strong."
Bonds took a microphone and thanked the fans. Giants manager Bruce Bochy sent Bonds out to left field to start the next inning, then immediately replaced him with Rajai Davis so that the new home run king could run off the field in the spotlight again.
The game resumed 10 minutes after the home run, but it was pretty much an afterthought at that point. Who, after all, remembers the score of the game when Aaron hit No. 715?
So now we have a new number to replace 755. At least until Bonds hits 757 or 775 or whatever he ends with (he says he'll be back next year). The greatest record in sports? A tainted number? You're free to decide for yourself. As Bonds has: "This record is not tainted at all. At all. Period. You guys can write anything you want."
Whatever you think of Bonds, eventually someone will break his record. That's the way baseball works. As Mays said before the game, "It's all about history. Pretty soon someone will come along and pass him."Jim Caple is a senior writer for ESPN.com.

03 Mar 2011 03:29 GMT | Politics, Africa, Libya
The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has said he will open a formal investigation into possible crimes against humanity in Libya.
Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the ICC prosecutor, decided to launch the investigation on Wednesday after a "preliminary examination of available information."
The announcement was an unprecedentedly swift reaction to the violent crackdown on anti-government protests by Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader, and his supporters.
Prosecutors often take months and sometimes years to decide whether to open an investigation into possible war crimes.
The ICC has previously said that it has been in contact with Libyan army officers to gather information about civilian deaths during the uprising and pledged "no impunity" for anyone found to have committed crimes against humanity.
"Information suggests that forces loyal to President Muammar Gaddafi are attacking civilians in Libya. This could constitute crimes against humanity and must stop," Moreno-Ocampo said on Tuesday.
"There will be no impunity for leaders involved in commission of crimes," he said.

An abandoned church, a shadow, and too many secrets.
Blackwater no longer exists, well, except in the icy, wasteland of no-time, where sixteen-year-old Daffodil, who has escaped The Institution, and carries with her a history of secrets that would make the discovery of the Holy Grail seem mundane, finds herself stranded with six others from the Secret Society of Gifted Teens. On discovering a gathering of ghosted orphans in the abandoned church she is plunged into a battle for survival – for the lost souls, for herself, for her companions, and for the future.
Even death cannot release Madame Glisznort from her lifelong obsession to free her Lost Children and so she has trapped these teens here is manipulating their fears until they use their gifts and do what she has been unable to – after all she has more than a vested interest in the outcome. If only the Shadow – a teeming mass of hatred which formed when mysterious sightings began appearing in Blackwater 100 years ago – wasn't threatening to destroy them all.
As Daffodil realizes that they are moving away from the natural world, she manages to get this group of misfit teens to face the secrets that have tragically haunted their own lives. It is the only way they will source their gifts and save the ghosts. It is the only way they can escape the Shadow. It is the only way they will survive. And time is running out...

~A Fast Bus to Nowhere~
There was something very wrong with this whole venture.
Santu was woken from his insipid sleep by the hammering rain, only to find himself back in the stormy night on the same lurching bus, going nowhere, fast. The vehicle was rattling violently in the torrential downpour, hurtling at an alarming speed. Every now and then, its wheels would slide on the the slick road making Santu�s stomach twist. Musty dank air filled his nostrils and the freezing cold air was making it difficult to think � but it didn�t stop the visions.
Outside, past the clammy windows, the highway was dark and empty save for the black silhouettes of leafless trees ebbing from a low eerie mist. Thunder ached in the deadened gloom like a far-off warning, and lightning flashed in bursts across the sodden, starless sky. Why hadn�t they told him he was going somewhere this damn cold?
Santu�s gaze slid up to the full moon � he could swear it had a face. Its distant light shone on his dark Spanish skin and shoulder length black curls. Shivering, he huddled into his leather jacket to keep in whatever warmth he could and tried to concentrate on the visions. They had been growing stronger and more controlling since he had agreed to this �research mission� but in his heart, he knew the truth had already been seized and locked away.
Santu skimmed a look at the others on board: Six other duped kids that had somehow managed to abandon their lives to attend a Secret Society Program � all of them masters of their own secrets; all of them masters of a skill unusual enough to be accepted by the clandestine group.
None of them seemed to be interested in making eye contact or conversation. If his visions were anything to go by, they�d have to talk eventually.
He wondered if any of them could match his skills: Santu was an anomaly; a glitch in the human strain; a genetic aberration that had already seen his mother die. The reminder forced his anger to surface so he tried to bend his thoughts back to the unacceptable cold.
As he rose to complain to the uninterested and apparently unaffected bus driver, the vehicle abruptly lurched to a halt. The unexpected shift threw Santu forward, smashing his face into the back of the seat in front of him. As his face struck the metal railing he heard a horrible crack: His nose had broken. As blood trickled from his nostrils the horrible stench of mould and death filled his mind before a shrill voice erupted from the front of the bus.
�I am Madame Glizsnort,� screeched the woman who had just alighted. Dressed in a long, gray, woolen skirt, short high-heeled boots and a gray jacket which displayed two looping �G�s� on its lapel, she exuded cold indifference. �For your stay on this trip you will be under my guidance.� The woman�s piercing gaze regarded everyone from the front of the bus.
With her pale eyes, gray complexion and high silver bun, Santu thought she could have been an ice-sculpture hung with clothes and a wig. Motioning to complain, he felt himself being forced back into the seat.
�Sit down!� Madame Glizsnort shrieked. �I will not have insolence in my presence!�
And probably for the first time in his life, Santu felt uncertain. Apparently he was not alone. Furtive glances darted from one to the other across the bus � eye-contact finally, mused Santu to himself. But the worry was creeping around him, icy fingers curling across his skin. He was not getting any visions from this strange woman and that scared him more than he cared to admit.
�Now,� Madame Glizsnort continued, trying to sound just a little less harsh. �I am to be your guardian and tutor for this undertaking.� Her tone was practiced, almost calculated. �I know you have all come from far away, some further than others.� Her icy stare focused on the girl with the messy blond hair and patchwork clothes: There was something about her.
Daffodil thought her heart may freeze instantly with the intensity of Madame Glizsnort�s gaze. In fact, Daffodil was from a very long way away and had a history of secrets that would make the discovery of the Holy Grail seem mundane. As far as Daffodil knew, absolutely no one had a clue about her past � except her parents, and they couldn�t tell anyone, obviously. But right now it felt like this strange woman with the cold silver eyes was staring into her brain, reading her very thoughts, seeing into her memories and exhuming her life; bit by bit.
�Your name girl?! What�s your name?!�
�D..Daffodil, Madame,� she replied, her Australian twang sounding broken in the silence.
�Try to remember it then!� The ice-sculpture shook her head.
Daffodil nodded, her big, brown eyes, wide and unblinking. If Madame Glizsnort hadn�t finally moved her stare to the back of the bus Daffodil would have vomited. Not a good start to her first Secret Society mission. Had her escape from The Institution been a foolish decision? Was the whole research thing real? Had her grueling admission been a sham? Blinking a few times, she let salty tears wash back over her burning eyes.
Madame Glizsnort seemed disgusted with them all. �There will be an introduction ceremony once we reach our destination,� she continued determinedly, �and then we have a very demanding schedule of advanced research. After this, you will put your abilities into action.� She paused for a moment as she eyed each of them. �And remember, I am not interested in cry babies! The quicker you follow the imperative and perform, the quicker you will be finished!�
Santu didn�t like the way she emphasized the word �finished�. If his nose hadn�t throbbed so badly, he may have tried to focus on his visions, but the pain was making it impossible for him to judge just how serious this situation was.
And then a flood of arctic water rushed through Santu�s brain. It felt like time had stopped, as if all the knowledge he had ever accumulated was suddenly dissolving into nothingness. Just before everything began to fade, a few thoughts pushed themselves to the frosty surface of his mind: In the freezing cold midnight hours of this strange rain-soaked night, how had this gaunt, shrew woman managed to stop a speeding bus and alight without a single droplet marking her clothes?
As this thought formed, another whole, and completely overwhelming notion, swelled in his mind. And that�s when Santu noticed Madame Glizsnort was staring straight at him.
And a small trickle of blood oozed from his damaged nose.
Blackwater Herald Moon Tribune
Tuesday, September 5th, 1939 � One penny
At 11 O�clock, September 4th, Great Britain declares war on Germany. Six hours later France follows. Britain and France state their determination to fulfill to the uttermost, their obligations to Poland in this full scale attack. Page 3.
After the First Great War and terrible period of Depression we hoped there would be a long time of peace, but the fervent attacks do not augur well for any of us. Just days after the terrifying announcement that Germany has invaded Poland, Blackwater has made a discovery so unsettling that it brings the ghosts of suffering home to us again.
Our Herald Moon Tribune journalist, Mr. Henry Frienly, has discovered a rather strange mystery. With help from Miss Grace Durand of Marchenby Street, Mr. Frienly has uncovered a strange tale indeed.
According to his information, it is believed a group of nine children has been seen lingering around the town. They are very hard to keep track of, even disappearing whilst being followed! They tend to move as a group, which makes it even more remarkable that they have not been caught, and they do not appear to have any guardians present. This strange group appears to be unaware of the attention they are receiving. When Miss Durand calls out to them they are oblivious to her utterances and their immediate escape seems uncanny.
The children were noticed on September 1st, by a visitor to the area, Mrs. Agnes McReady of Bluberry Falls. Mrs. McReady immediately reported it to the police whereby Constable Macalister Glizsnort took all the details.
In a rather curious turn, Constable Glizsnort states to the Herald Moon Tribune, that after considerable research, he has discovered that similar sightings were reported in the area about 20 years prior. This just adds to the peculiarity of the situation. Constable Glizsnort also speculates that it is no coincidence that the sightings have begun again just as the Second Great War has been declared.
Even though the Constable is unsure whether these children are of an unearthly nature or not, he affirms that he will not give up trying to locate them despite the obvious difficulties. He also suggests there may be many a reason why these children have no homes. In such circumstances, he says, those being of the war and all, there are a variety of events that would allow these young people to find themselves in very difficult circumstances. �It is quite possible that these children are vagabonds or worse.� At this stage he is not prepared to commit either way. Constable Glizsnort insists that once the children are located they will be treated with kindness and compassion before being judged. �It is the Godly thing to do,� he said.
However, journalist, Henry Frienly, concedes that others in the community do not see it so simply. Many have expressed concerns regarding their own safety and it is believed that the kind of lenience the Constable affords will give the children open opportunity to commit crime.
Enid Highly of Plain Place Road suggests: �They may try coercion or even thievery; or they may attempt to inflict physical harm on the people of the town � the population should be afraid!�
Even more negative correspondence includes alarming implications that these children may be creating some kind of gang and that they plan to steal the offspring of the neighborhood to expand their group.
�It all reeks of sinister undertones!� Miss Maimsbun of Hawkesmeade Avenue cried when interviewed.
But Mrs. Lightbottom of January Court, believes, �We should take them in and care for them as a community. Obviously no one else is concerned about their whereabouts.�
Miss Maimsbun replied with a curt retort about Mrs. Lightbottom being unable to have children of her own and added, �Mrs. Lightbottom�s opinion should be ignored as she has obviously displeased the Lord for she has been rendered barren.�
Mrs. Lightbottom refused to reply to these allegations.
However, as Constable Glizsnort reminds us, until we actually catch these children, it is all speculation. Miss Durand would like any person aware of their whereabouts to pass the information on to her at 132 Marchenby Street (call exchange B243).
And a very interesting story it is.
Blackout time tonight is 6.57pm.
Due to the declaration of war, our standard edition will now be an evening publication only. Therefore, the paper has changed its name from the Herald Tribune to the Herald Moon Tribune.
WOW - Brilliant Read
This is a terrific read! It's got it all: Mystery, Danger, Fantasy, Darkness and Romance. You get a really good feel for the characters and their backgrounds - their troubled backgrounds and secrets must eventually be revealed - it is the only way they can discover their strengths and the enormity of their gifts. The mood is haunting and yet it's a real page turner! I couldn't stop reading. I really like the writing style and am really looking forward to the sequel.
"I know that if we fade before we are found we will never be able to go home. If we fade, we disappear forever as if we never existed. That is very dangerous for everyone, ghosted or not."
OSCAR is hiding in an abandoned church with his gathering of ghosted orphans trying desperately to find a way to save their souls. He ghosted at the frontlines in WW1 where he fled to escape the loss of his entire family and now he is here, trapped in limbo. He is very powerful but his control is causing more problems than any of them can know - until it's nearly too late. Through static recordings they call for help but slowly they are forgetting everything. If they forget to hide from the Shadow it will consume them, taking their existence-time, and that will be disastrous for everyone - living and dead.
Sixteen-year-old Daffodil has escaped the Institution where she was sent after both her parents died. The abuse she received there didn't stifle her gift but it did prepare her for her first mission with The Secret Society of Gifted Teens. And now she finds herself stranded in an icy wasteland surrounded by an impenetrable mist with six other gifted strangers.
Madame Glizsnort has carefully orchestrated their demise and is going to manipulate their fears to get them to do what she has been unable to - save her Lost Children. Even death cannot release her from her obsession; after all, she has more than a vested interest in the outcome. The survival of these teens is unlikely - for that would mean they would have to destroy the Shadow - a teeming whirlpool of hatred borne from a place of such human darkness that it turned Blackwater into a ghost-town decades ago.
All devices are taken from them and Jake, who has suffered terribly in his short life, is desperate - without static he won't be able to sleep.
When Madame Glizsnort doesn't turn up for the required instructions at the old church, the group makes an expedition to the ancient graveyard where they find several unmarked graves and where they discover the heinous power of the Shadow - it feeds off misery and shame and there is plenty of that here. And so begins their battle for survival.
Lots of surprising twists and turns - kept me guessing until the end.
I can't recommend this book more highly. I want everyone to read it. Enjoy.
Must Read
This book defies categorization. Is it Paranormal - certainly, YA Fantasy - most definitely, Mystery - again, yes? It is all of these, but so much more. In Secrets of Ghosts, Mardi Orlando has developed a tale that touches the heart. This book goes far beyond well-developed characters, intriguing plot, and unique formatting. This is the tale of a group of damaged teens struggling with powers and concepts that would tax the strongest and most self-assured of us. This motley group must overcome their troubled pasts while facing their internal fears and learning to understand and coordinate with each other. Mardi Orlando's superb prose breathes life into her characters while unfolding the story's mysteries like the peeling of an onion. With the deft hands of a master, the author reveals enough to keep interest peaked without frustrating the reader. Fortunately, she has left the way open for a sequel.
A Marvelous Story
This is a marvelous story!!! It is a combination of several fictions, science fiction, fantasy fiction, and mystery fiction. In reading this story I felt like I really knew the characters. The characters all have different issues but these issues are part of what makes them interesting and unique. I found myself not wanting to put the book down and I was rushing back to read it because I kept speculating what would happen next. The way it is written, it's style is very to read and to enjoy!! This is a fun, interesting, and exciting book to read.
Secrets of Ghosts, by Mardi Orlando is a story that touched me. I could see myself being any one of the characters. They all have a life that not every character has in some stories. Mardi kept me guessing all through the story and I think she could do a series from this, hopefully, first story, Secrets of Ghosts!!! I highly recommend Secrets of ghosts!!!!

The tiny playmaker sunk a three-pointer and induced a foul with 22 seconds remaining.
Shirin Limaye had earlier pulled down rebounds under the defensive board, dived on the floor to regain ball possession and, with teammates on the same wavelength, Maharashtra remained out of its rival's reach. "For the second game in a row, the girls tried to execute plans," said coach Geo Blesson.
Smruthi Radhakrishnan (28) and Manisha Dange (17) were on target as the winner topped Pool A while S. Kokila (19) and M. Apurva (18) were the key contributors for Southern Railway.
"Two players on four fouls was a tense situation for us. Railways took advantage and reduced the gap. We did not have replacements, so the girls on court had to somehow keep going," said the Maharashtra coach, relieved after two tough wins over Kerala and Railways to confirm a semifinal place.
Railways clawed back in the third and fourth quarters, 21-20 and 26-22, but paid the price for early lapses. "Geethu Anna Jose and R. Anitha's absence, for personal reasons, has created a vacuum. These girls have to learn it the hard way," said coach Prasanna Jayashankar.
She added: "I am not worried about this young team, they have the talent but have to learn to avoid mistakes under pressure."
Southern Railway recovered its poise to force the third league tie against Kerala into extra-time at 61-all.
Internationals S. Jeena (34), N. Stephy (15) and Neenumol (14) asserted themselves to pull Kerala through to a 72-62 win, assuring Kerala of semifinal qualification as the second team from Pool A. Railways — up 44-41 when the third quarter ended — conceded the lead in the fourth and caught up again to force extra-time.
Stephy's inability to convert free-throws forced Jeena to step up her game and chip in with points from breakaways.
Semifinal line-ups: Women: Maharashtra vs Delhi, Chhattisgarh vs Kerala. Men: ONGC (Uttarakhand) vs Army Red (Services), IOB (Tamil Nadu) vs BSF (Punjab).
The results: League: Women: Maharashtra 75 (Smruthi Radhakrishnan 28, Manisha Dange 17) bt Southern Railway 69 (S. Kokila 19, M. Apurva 18); Kerala 72 (S. Jeena 34, N. Stephy 15, Neenumol 14) bt Southern Railway 62 (H. Neena 15, R. Alagu 13, R. Priyadarshini 10) via extra-time (61-61 full-time); Chhattisgarh 114 (Poonam Chaturvedi 27, M. Pushpa 17, Kavita 15) bt Karnataka 41 (P. Navaneetha 11).

Top 10 netbooks
Netbooks are perfect travel companions and meet basic computing needs, including e-mailing, Web surfing, and simple document creation. Best of all, these low-powered machines cost less than the standard-issue laptop
Windows XP, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard disk, and a 10-inch screen are almost standard features of the netbook class. And so is an Intel Atom processor, though one of models we review here sports a Via Nano CPU. With any device that attempts to shrink a PC into an ultra-portable three-pound package, you can expect compromises. That said, many of these netbooks boast quite usable keyboards, decent performance, and excellent battery life (as long as 10 hours!). You'll even find features such as dual-boot Android, TV tuners, and gaming-capable GPUs in the mix. Prices range from $300 to $500-plus.

Endeavor: Creating a Global Movement for High-Impact Entrepreneurship
William A. Sahlman
Price: $6.93
This case describes a critical inflection point in the growth of an international development "mentor capitalist" nonprofit, Endeavor. As Endeavor aims to scale its high-impact entrepreneurship model globally, founder Linda Rottenberg must determine what success looks like for the organization and which growth option will most effectively take Endeavor in that direction. The case begins with a panel of business leaders selecting a new class of Jordanian entrepreneurs to join the ranks of Endeavor's prestigious portfolio. Their decision forces them to wrestle with the questions: "What is high impact entrepreneurship, and how will it contribute to the economic development of a country like Jordan?"

Sugar Baby Watermelon question
I was just curious, once you have a watermelon that was successfully pollinated, how fast does it grow into a full grown watermelon? I know this may vary. Just wanted to see what people's experiences have been. I am excited I finally have a watermelon on the vine :). First time growing watermelons. My first pumpkin is almost done growing at 2 1/2 weeks and is a sugar pie variety. Hoping the watermelon well be that fast.
I've got 1 Sugar baby on the vine. It will reach full size but won't be ready to pick until ripe, which time varies quite a bit for different varieties. Sugar baby is one of the quickest to ripen. I believe the DTM is 75 days. The 75 days almost works for me because they mature faster in containers. If I was growing in the ground would add 10 days to 2 weeks. With only one melon it's a bit of a crap shoot when to pick.

FOX Sports Exclusive
Rookies own Week 5 sleeper-status
Whenever I sit down to write about quarterbacks, I hear signal-calling in my head. By the end of the sequence and hitting the "Save" button, I have a strange desire to visit Omaha or turn left.
I truly enjoyed those two deep passes completed by Sam Bradford on Thursday night against the Cardinals, but that game did little to quench my NFL appetite. The schedule-makers did us a few favors to wipe that game from our memory in Week 5. We witness the renewal of the Manning-Brady rivalry, in addition to Vick-Roethlisberger, Rivers-Brees and Ryan-RGIII.
I believe that I was just sacked by Robert Quinn.
Let's get inside the white lines and preview the start of the second quarter of the fantasy campaign.
Remember that the Lions, Buccaneers, Raiders and Cowboys take their much-needed Byes this week.
(Exclude Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Robert Griffin III, Matt Ryan, Aaron Rodgers and Peyton Manning)
Eli Manning vs. CLE
Manning is averaging 330 passing yards per game through four weeks, bolstered by that 510-yard outburst against the Buccaneers in Week 2. He might just blow past that average this week against the scuffling Cleveland secondary. Remember, the Browns continue to play without cornerback Joe Haden, thereby leaving the unit susceptible to big plays. The Browns have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to quarterbacks (300 yards and 2.25 touchdowns per game).
The Giants continue to roll without Hakeem Nicks, who will miss his third straight game, and Ramses Barden may be sidelined because of a concussion. As a result, Domenik Hixon and Reuben Randle step into the spotlight alongside Victor Cruz and red zone beast Martellus Bennett.
Philip Rivers at NO
Rivers has been one of the most enigmatic players through the first quarter of the season. He's averaged just 224.3 passing yards with six touchdowns and four interceptions. Rivers was quieted by the Falcons in Week 3 and there was no need to pump up the stat line in Week 4 against the Chiefs.
This is the classic "get-right" game, as I discussed in this space last week. The Saints have been positively terrible defensively. New Orleans has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks. They allow 276.5 passing yards and 1.75 passing touchdowns per game. Look for a bounce-back game from Malcom Floyd and the downfield passing game. Antonio Gates owners, this might be the game you've long been awaiting.
Andy Dalton vs. MIA
Dalton looks to keep a fantastic streak alive against the Dolphins. He's accounted for three touchdowns in three consecutive games, effectively working the ball to established star A.J. Green and upcoming big-play threat Andrew Hawkins.
The Dolphins have surrendered 297.8 passing yards and 1.5 passing touchdowns per game. Dalton will face persistent pressure, as Miami has registered 12 sacks. However, they need to sell out to protect the secondary. Ergo, there are big plays in the offing this week.
Joe Flacco at KC
The Chiefs have allowed the third-most fantasy points to quarterbacks. Should I drop the microphone, or would you like me to elaborate? Opposing quarterbacks have generated 216 passing yards and 2.5 passing touchdowns per game through the quarter-pole.
Flacco has been fantastic through four weeks, producing 317.3 passing yards per game with seven touchdowns against three interceptions. He passed for at least 299 yards in three of four games. Look for Flacco to rev up the offensive tempo following the 10-day layoff on the road in Kansas City.
Christian Ponder vs. TEN
So, Ponder was the sexy pick of Week 4 who left fantasy owners flat. The combination of two special teams touchdowns, great work by the defense and Adrian Peterson's legs resulted in a downright puny stat line for Ponder (he'll take the win). Despite his appearance on the injury list with a hip issue, Ponder rates a huge play this week against the Titans. The Titans have allowed the second-most fantasy points to quarterbacks (285 passing yards and 2.5 passing touchdowns allowed per game).
I was encouraged by the deep shots taken by Ponder to Jerome Simpson that accounted for 57 penalty yards. His ability to stretch the field will yield big dividends for Percy Harvin and Kyle Rudolph underneath.
Ben Roethlisberger vs. PHI
Roethlisberger has been tremendously efficient and effective through three weeks despite the lack of a running game. He averaged 301.3 passing yards and 2.7 passing touchdowns through the Steelers' first three games. More importantly, Roethlisberger only threw one interception.
It's not a monster spot against the Eagles this week (fourth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks), but I'm intrigued to see this unit coming out of the Bye. They got healthy on defense and return Rashard Mendenhall to the backfield. As a result, Roethlisberger rates a back-end QB1 play this week.
Jay Cutler at JAC
It was a slow start for Cutler and the Chicago offense against the Cowboys in Week 4. The Bears were shut out of the end zone in the first half before Cutler and Brandon Marshall made magic down the stretch. Cutler finished with 275 passing yards and two touchdowns against the then-top defense.
It's a fantastic road spot (though the back-to-back road game is always a dangerous proposition) against the Jaguars. I know that the Jaguars rank 13th against quarterbacks. Look for the Bears to work the ground game early (the Jaguars allow 150.3 yards per game) and set up the play-action and slot looks that were employed in Week 4. Chicago fans celebrate "Happy Jay" for another week ahead of the Week 6 Bye.
Matt Schaub at NYJ
The Texans have established themselves as one of the dominant squads in 2012, as expected. Schaub and the offense have pulled the strings, effectively mixing the passing and running games as necessary while J.J. Watt and the defense dominate. Schaub has completed two-thirds of his pass attempts for 238.3 yards per game with seven touchdowns against a single interception.
The Texans will likely run wild against the Jets, just as the 49ers did last week. However, I still see Schaub taking shows downfield to Andre Johnson and Owen Daniels against the Darrelle Revis-less secondary. He's an upper-tier QB2 this week.
Andrew Luck vs. GB
I expect Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay offense to load up points against the Indianapolis defense. As a result, Luck goes into deep ball mode early. He averaged 282 passing yards with five touchdowns (four interceptions) in the Colts' first three games.
Luck absorbed five sacks through the first three weeks (Jacksonville, Minnesota and Chicago) and completed just 53.3% of his pass attempts. It may not start pretty, particularly if Clay Matthews gets into "beast mode" off of the edge, but all receptions count until the final gun sounds.
Ryan Tannehill at CIN
Tannehill passed for 431 yards in a losing effort against Arizona last week and made a waiver wire hero out of Brian Hartline. He's yet to even out the touchdown-to-interception ratio, but Tannehill has improved through the first quarter of the season. He has quality possession-type options in Hartline (I know he's been better) and Davone Bess, and Reggie Bush remains a potent receiver out of the backfield.
The Bengals have been ravaged by injuries defensively, thereby presenting opportunities downfield. Cincinnati has surrendered the eighth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks, including a 300-yard effort by Brandon Weeden of the Browns.
Alex Smith vs. BUF
The last time that I put Smith on the board for a big play, he left me flat. I was then inundated with angry calls and messages. I thirst for such derision, so I proudly present Smith again in this spot against the Bills.
Following last week's meltdown against Tom Brady and the Patriots, the Bills have surrendered the sixth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks. I don't put Smith in the Brady category, of course, but the same formula employed by the Patriots should work here. The 49ers will run amok with Gore, Hunter (and maybe Jacobs), thereby presenting play-action opportunities downfield.
Cam Newton vs. SEA
You're going to start Newton. I have him ranked as a low-QB1, and I suspect that your backup came late if you dove into the mix for Newton. I just caution that you'll be anticipating a lesser performance than that which you've become accustomed to from Newton. The Seahawks have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks and positively shut down Tony Romo and Aaron Rodgers.
Michael Vick at PIT
Vick limped off the field late in Week 4 against the Giants, but he's expect to be ready for the "Battle for Pennsylvania" against the Steelers. Vick has averaged 286.5 passing yards and 32.5 rushing yards per game. Of course, the tale of his early season record would not be complete without pointing out his nine turnovers.
He pays a visit to a Pittsburgh squad that got healthy during the Bye week. Troy Polamalu and James Harrison return to the fray after lengthy absences. Though the Steelers surrendered six touchdown passes through the first three weeks, opposing quarterbacks averaged 190.3 passing yards. Look for Dick LeBeau to get creative with his blitz packages and disrupt the timing of the Philadelphia offense. He's no better than a high-QB2 for me this week.
Ryan Fitzpatrick at SF
I can't imagine that Fitzpatrick stands at the top of your start list for Week 5, but injuries, ineffectiveness and Bye weeks make for strange bedfellows. You may also be taken in by Fitzpatrick's fast start, as he's produced 12 touchdowns through four weeks.
I certainly don't expect the ineptitude and blooper reel that circulated this week with the label "San Francisco – New York Jets." The Bills offense boasts better and more accomplished skill position players. However, it is a stingy San Francisco defense that performed brilliantly against the vaunted Green Bay and Detroit offenses. The 49ers rank 12th in fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks.

|Release date(s)
|Vertical scrolling shooter
|Single player
|Sega Master System cartridge
Bomber Raid is a vertical scrolling shooter video game released for the Sega Master System in 1988 in Europe, and 1989 in the United States and Japan.[1] It was the last game for the Master System in Japan.
In Bomber Raid, the player controls a small "Freedom Fighter" aircraft able to fire different types of projectiles through five levels. As a shoot 'em up game, gameplay is similar to the arcade games 1942 and Raiden.
The player starts with three lives. Any collision with either an enemy aircraft or enemy fire results in the loss of a life. One type of enemy, a strange disk like object with a green and red flashing center, drops a powerup when destroyed. Power-ups, which can be a weapon power-up (p) which replace the standard twin cannon, speed power up (s) or provide the player with a fighter plane companion to assist in destroying enemies. The player can only have up to two fighters. The player also starts with a limited number of cluster bombs, which will clear the screen of many enemies (except bosses), and power pods, which give extra points, weapon power-ups, and a temporary "backup squadron." The cluster bomb's explosion is influenced by the squadron (up to two small planes that fly in formation with the fighter and shoot when it shoots). If there are no planes, then the cluster bomb will be a ring of fire that flies forward. With one fighter, the bomb's explosive area is over a wider area, and with two fighters, the "orbs" of the explosion will radiate outwards in all direction.
The miniature planes' formation and the direction they fire in depends on the last "squadron" power-up received.

Jindal: Obama re-election won't change path in Louisiana
Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal is congratulating President Barack Obama for his re-election victory, while saying that won't change his course in Louisiana.
Jindal issued a statement that said, "Here in Louisiana, we will continue to do what we have always done, and that means standing up for our people and doing what we think is right no matter who is president."
Louisiana's governor campaigned across the country for unsuccessful GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who Jindal also congratulated for running a "strong race."
Jindal didn't comment on what the election results mean for the future of the Republican Party, saying there's plenty of time to do that later.

Important component of flood prevention project yet to take off
With the land acquisition process yet to be completed, the plan to widen the Kudamuritti River, one of the major components of the Rs.253 crore flood prevention project sanctioned a few years back, remains a non-starter.
Flood overflows from the 6.1 km-long Kudamuritti River running between its originating point at the Puthur Weir and the Cauvery River, its discharge, has caused havoc at times of floods in the city over the past couple of decades. The Public Works Department had planned to widen the river, apart from strengthening the bunds of its right flank and carrying out improvements at the Puthur Weir.
While works on strengthening the left flank of the river is almost complete, the work on the construction of an aqueduct to regulate the water flow into the Uyyakondan River from the Puthur Weir is underway on full swing. But unless the Kudamuritti River was widened, the flood prevention measures would not be complete, feel a section of residents of the colonies that are routinely flooded due to overflows from the river.
Though the river's capacity is less than 9,000 cusecs, it has carried up to 35,000 cusecs at times of floods in the past. Widening the contour river (which does not have a bund on the left flank) has thus been felt essential, to prevent frequent flooding of the residential areas off the Vayalur Road. Though the contour river has been so designed to ensure that the flood waters could head up on the left flank for some time whenever the Cauvery River was in spate, rapid urbanisation has made it essential that the river's capacity be increased to carry the maximum flood discharge.
"Every monsoon gives us the jitters. Thankfully, we have not seen major flooding over the past few years. But the PWD should expedite the work and ensure peace of mind to the large number of residing beyond the Kudamuritti river bridge on the Vayalur Road," says Gopalakrishnan, a resident.
Currently, the river's width ranges between 10 to 35 metres and the PWD had planned to widen it to 65 metres under the project. The PWD has earmarked Rs.23 crore for widening the river, including payment of compensation for land and structures that are to be acquired. Proposals for the land acquisition have been forwarded to the government. But the proposal is yet to be firmed up. Only after the land acquisition is cleared and government order issued that the PWD could prepare revised estimates for the work as a few years have passed by since the original plan was worked out.

Bottled Water
We are leaving TOMORROW for a cruise on the Enchantment of the Seas. We have always taken along a case of bottled water in a suitcase. I understand that the cruiselines don't like for you to bring certain items on board. Has anyone heard of a problem - lately with added security - with bottled water?
Re: Bottled Water
I don't think there's any problem with bottled water, but why bother? The water on the ship is probably safer than that which comes out of your tap at home.
Just take one bottle and refill it?
pamda -- CM First-Time Cruisers Editor
Re: Bottled Water
On today's ships, the water is all pure, distilled water. It's as pure, or purer, than the bottled water you're bringing on board.
If your nervous, add a little alchohol (rum, vodka, gin, etc;), to kill the germs! LOL

As the world prepared for the Academy Awards last month my thoughts sweetly drifted back to my childhood in North Carolina and to my love of movies. Back in my rural town of tractor pulls, gun racks and running barefooted, I remembered being the artistic kid who loved the magical world of cinema. Movies like The Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind activated my imagination, while phrases like, "There's no place like home" made me smile.
At the time I didn't know that I was "trailer trash" until a teacher in elementary school told me. Uncertain of the characteristics of my new identity I figured I better dip snuff, chew some tobacco, and include an extra fried Spam™ sandwich in my bag lunches.
Then, one night my parents watched the Academy Awards. I was captivated by the pure intention behind the world of movie stars dripping in diamonds and evening attire as their peers floated on clouds of applause, accepting Oscars and sincerely thanking everyone.
Later that night I stood on my bed and quietly gave my Oscar acceptance speech while clutching my G. I. Joe doll until I fell asleep. This memory had faded until I moved to Los Angeles. Living in tinsel town surrounded by movie studios and all aspects of the entertainment industry reactivated my boyhood aspirations. "It's not so silly to imagine holding an Oscar," I thought as my phone rang.
It was a friend, excited to share the news that she was going to the Academy Awards and also to an Oscar exhibit – that night. She wanted me to go with her and have our picture taken holding the Oscar!
From playing make-believe as a kid to consciously applying the laws of creative mind I was reminded of Natalie Goldberg's words, "Trust in what you love, continue to do it, and it will take you where you need to go."
At the exhibit I had my picture taken with an Oscar. The statue had a magical effect on me, leaving me joyously uplifted. Was this how Judy Garland and Vivian Leigh felt?
Driving home along Hollywood Boulevard from the exhibit I recalled the teacher calling me trailer trash, I remembered my first Academy Award program for my coveted award. I often send prayers to that teacher for helping me understand there's more unlimited potential within me than she could see. Today I'm especially grateful for the contrast of my early years and the foundation they laid for my spiritual growth.
Each day I intend my desired dreams and entertainment aspirations. Even when I forget to intend or waver in trusting my decisions I always trust the Universe and its unconditional part in co-creating on my behalf.
We've all come a long way from someone in our past that couldn't see our hopes and dreams sparkling bright in our energy fields. Let's trust they were doing the best they could at the time while trusting that we can and will create the lives we want.
Driving past the front gates of my driveway I smiled, I was home. Holding the Oscar had truly tickled my spirit. Walking through the front door I laughed; tossed my keys on my table and rummaged through the kitchen cabinets for the Spam. I was suddenly craving a sandwich. After all, "There's no place like home."

Complete Kendo
Complete Kendo is a thorough introduction to the Japanese martial way of the sword and a guided tour of the principles and philosophy upon which the art is founded. John Donohue covers everything from the care and handling of hakama, the pleated trousers worn by kendoka (practitioners of kendo), to the methods of cultivating the meditative state of mushin (no mind), all in an easy conversational dialogue that is a great pleasure to read.
Structured to echo the organization of the Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi, Complete Kendo is a modern version of the swordsman's primer by a martial artist skilled not only in the art of kendo but, like Musashi, in many traditional Japanese arts, and with a superb understanding of the martial tradition and culture of Japan. The author uses lessons learned from a long career of teaching martial arts and academic subjects to impart clearly and concisely the fundamentals of kendo and the martial way.
With explanatory line drawings by Kathleen Sweeney illustrating significant points of discussion, a handy glossary of kendo terminology and related concepts, and an unusually helpful bibliography, Complete Kendo is an essential volume for every kendoka's personal library.
