I think these days researchers categorize religious disagreements as "unresolvable conflicts." I'm not sure to what extent I agree with this statement. But there is definitely something to be discussed as far as relationships go.
Can we date someone seriously who has religious beliefs different from our own? Or is it a non-issue and I'm just old fashioned?
I most certainly can't call myself religious I'm probably traditional at best, but I honestly can't see myself dating someone of a different religion. Not because I believe god will revoke my pass into heaven, but rather because tradition and faith are so fundamentally part of my personality that I have trouble imagining myself living with someone who has a whole different set of them.
I sometimes wonder if maybe I've got it all backwards. Maybe it's enough that he believes in democracy, and he respects my place as a modern working woman. Maybe all those strange traditions that my ancestors passed down to me are only secondary to my liberal modern upbringing.
Or are they?
I mean, at the end of the day I love celebrating the holidays. I want to keep those old traditions alive even when I have saved up enough to finally own my own house (fingers crossed that too will happen someday. That is, when I give up teaching, and get a job that actually pays).
So can it work?
I've decide to bring in back-up.
This section was written by a friend of the blogger's, who is from a secular-but-traditional family and in a happy relationship with a person whose beliefs and religious affiliation differ from hers, and thinks she knows a thing or two about dealing with the "religion issue" — that sometimes painful wedge that exists between the two of you when it comes to matters of faith, culture and tradition.
Back to "Can it work?": that's a trick question. When you're just dating a person, religion isn't as likely to come up and be a real problem. But when you get more serious about someone and bring them home to meet your parents (and grandparents), you're bound to start asking yourself the "religion question", and your significant other might be too.
But this question can have many different answers. If your family's so traditional and if you belong to such a tight-knit community that you know the two of you won't be able to be together unless you elope or even cut ties with your loved ones, you might want to come to terms with the fact that your relationship has an expiration date (or, well, just elope).
Bear in mind that being in a relationship your parents are adamant about not accepting will put a heavy strain on you, on your relationship and on your partner, who will want to share your pain. It might prove very difficult to cope without your parents' moral and financial support, your mother's hugs and your father's advice (and occasional proud gaze). Worst of all, should your partner decide not to stick around, you'll be left all alone to nurse your heartbreak with a healthy dose of "I told you so's."
This also depends on your partner's religious orientation: if he's technically of your religion but an atheist or of another caste, your parents might eventually come 'round. If one of his parents is of your religion, your parents might eventually warm to him. If he's of a different religion but you both share the same values, outlook or philosophy of life, you may have a chance. If he's of a different religion but of the same culture, or moved to your country at a young age, it may well work, even if he's of a different religion (my boyfriend and I are an example of this). But if he's a devout Catholic from Poland and you've been raised as a devout Sikh from the Punjab, it might not work out so well for the two of you – because of cultural and religious differences alike. (Remember how in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, the protagonists were both Christians, but one was Greek Orthodox while the other wasn't? And even after the groom agreed to become Greek Orthodox, the bride's father still felt betrayed, because the groom wasn't culturally/ethnically Greek?)
If, on the other hand, your parents are less religious, or more open, there's a chance that they'll accept your partner with open arms, even if you have to deal with a rocky start in the first few weeks. If your parents raised you in a secular and liberal home and they still don't accept your boyfriend, you should ask yourself if maybe the religious issue is not at the heart of their rejection. For example, they may be wary of accepting him because they believe the religious differences preclude the possibility of your building a happy and harmonious home together, and if you convince them that you share the same values, they'll accept your partner. (Of course, it's possible that they just think he's a jerk.)
Or perhaps they think the religious differences belie even bigger cultural differences, in which case you have to ask yourself if these differences are surmountable. Or perhaps they worry about your legal status: will you be able to marry this man legally in your country, and will you be entitled to full rights as a married couple? Does your country have civil marriage? Does your religious denomination recognize mixed marriages? What will the status of your children be?
If you haven't asked yourself these questions yet, you may find that they are crucial to figuring out if there's a chance for the two of you – and they're probably the questions running through your parents' head, and the reason for their objection to your union.
Under what conditions can it work?
First of all, religion can be many things. It can be a set of childhood memories of holidays or the name you were given by your parents, but not necessarily something that has had a real impact on you growing up.
Or it can be an integral part of your identity, be it because you want to keep your family's traditions or because you yourself have a close connection to God. If you are a spiritual person and feel that you share a spiritual affinity with your significant other despite the religious differences, you'll probably be fine. If religion means little to the both of you but you share the same world-view, you'll be ok also. And if religion to you is an amalgam of traditions and rituals you want your children (and spouse) to be part of, you have to make sure your significant other is willing to respect that (bear in mind that you will probably have to respect and even keep his own traditions in return – are you willing to change your lifestyle and do that?).
If the question of conversion arises and it becomes clear that the relationship cannot proceed without it, ask yourselves which one of you should convert and why, and what it will require of you as individuals and a couple. If you ask him to convert, will your partner feel like you can't accept him as he is, that you need him to change too much? Will it alienate and hurt him and tear the two of you apart? Will it turn you into Marta and him into the Baron Münchhausen (an analogy my boyfriend and I often use when discussing this hot topic)? If so, just let it go.
Sometimes the "religion issue" can interfere in the bedroom as well — sometimes being brought up in a particular faith will shape the way we think about sex. For example, you may be all for abstinence, while he might expect sex way before the wedding night. He may have had a wild past, while you may have been "saving yourself". You may have been brought up in a strict community that segregates men and women, while he may have lost his virginity at 13. You may have been brought up to get married early, while he may be planning to keep his bachelor pad at least until his 35th birthday. You may be pro-choice while he may be pro-life. These are extreme examples, but many interfaith couples are bound to encounter the "grey areas" of having differing (sometimes conflicting) opinions about sex. This is best solved by talking about it. If you're disappointed that he's not on the same page as you are where sex is concerned, don't hide it from him — he might not even have realized.
Basically, it will only work if the two of you learn to accept each other's religious traditions AND world-view. You should be accepting, mature and strong enough, and have enough resolve, to stay together even if one or both of you become a bit more religious, or show more signs of wanting to keep religious traditions.
What can you do to make it work?
1. Read and learn about your partner's religion (and culture!) and have him read about yours – not on Wikipedia. Real books and stuff. Even THE books (the Bible, Qur'an…). Ask your partner questions about his religion, surprise him with facts you read that he might not know, try to figure out how he sees his religion and try to see it through his eyes. Ignorance isn't sexy, and won't endear you to his family or community either.
2. Try to find the points your religions have in common, in spirit if not in practice.
3. Try to see his religion in a positive light — you might find that some traditions seem beautiful to you, and you might want to experience them yourself with his family (and someday, with yours).
4. Be frank with each other and tell each other what you will and won't give up, and which traditions you insist on keeping. In other words: set limits, and respect each other's limits.
5. Don't ask each other to make major changes as an ultimatum for staying together.
6. Don't badmouth each other's religion, culture, parents and upbringing as a way of trying to deal with the differences between you. Don't keep your significant other from keeping his/her traditions, don't put obstacles in the way of their faith.
7. Don't turn your discussions into a contest of which religion is better. If you can't accept that the person closest to you doesn't believe what you believe, you're better off apart. (Especially when there are kids in the picture — don't entice them to choose your religion over your spouse's, and don't make them choose one religion just to prove a point.)
8. Try not to antagonize your parents to the point of breaking contact, and definitely don't put on dramatic and rebellious airs of the type you were notorious for when you were sixteen. Try to understand their point of view. You're not Romeo and Juliet, and your parents are not evil. HOWEVER, don't let them insult your partner or his religion, don't let them stereotypify him. Stand up to them. Have them get to know your partner, and if that doesn't help matters, just keep on standing up to them.
Be prepared for the possibility that like Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof, your parents will conclude that that "on the other hand, there is no other hand" and never speak to you again. This is probably a very rare occurrence in real life (even in the most closed religious communities many parents sneak out to meet with their excommunicated children), unless you're a pogrom-stricken Jew and decide to shack up with a village Cossack. Anyway, keep this in mind — any other reaction on your parents' part will seem like a blessing in comparison…
9. Try to be understanding of your partner if they find the religious issue difficult to handle or fail to realize how significant religion is (or isn't) to you. Try to explain things in a calm and composed manner.
10. Don't turn religion into a weapon you can use against your partner, or a place to retreat to when you want to hide from them. Don't hurt them deliberately by pushing them away.
11. Try to find out what your religion says about mixed marriages. Maybe talk to a clergyman or layperson your trust. Perhaps your religion allows intermarriage without conversion? There are several religions that do.
12. Never say never. Don't assume tradition will never matter to you, and don't tell your significant other as much ("I swear, I'll never care about religion, it will never come between us!"). Sometimes when people start a family they want to pass certain traditions on to their children, so don't deny that this is a possibility. Discuss it honestly, preferably before the time comes to pass traditions on.

The Battle of Magersfontein
Did you know?
Scotland's Highland Brigade suffered the worst casualties during the Battle of Magersfontein.
The Battle of Magersfontein was a triumph for the Boer forces, a disaster for the British army, and came close to wiping out Scotland's proud Highland Brigade.
During the second Anglo-Boer War, the Boers had besieged Kimberley and its 50 000 inhabitants since November 1899. Supplies were scarce in the diamond-mining town and relief was imperative.
The British public and press were demanding action. British forces advanced north along the railway line in an attempt to relieve Kimberley, but a Boer force was in their way at Magersfontein.
The British mistakenly believed that the enemy was encamped on the slopes of the surrounding hills and were confident that their superior artillery would win the day. The troops advanced under cover of darkness and prepared to storm the Boer positions at daybreak. The plan proved horribly wrong.
The Boers had dug trenches at the base of the hills and the flat trajectory of their Mauser rifles raked the advancing British troops. The soldiers of Scotland's Highland Brigade who survived the rifle fire were pinned down on the battlefield in the heat of the day. Over 200 British were killed during the battle, many of them dying of sunstroke and exposure.
Today you can take a tour of the Magersfontein battlefield with an experienced guide and military historian to relive that grim day. You'll visit some Boer graves in the veld before stopping at the Burgher Monument.
Watch a short audio-visual account of the battle, and then it's off to the hills where you might encounter a ghostly Boer burgher. Then on to the trenches: on moonlit nights they say you can see some of those Highlanders charging, and many visitors claim to have seen the lanterns of the stretcher-bearers.
It's also claimed that if you listen closely, you may well hear the mournful notes of a phantom Scottish piper.

3D printing a record might seem like the obvious choice these days, but I decided to go with CNC milling.
Why a mill you ask? Not a laser cutter or a 3D printer? Well we can't use a laser cutter as the record needs slots in the surface but these don't go all the way through. Laser cutters are great if you don't need any partial depth cuts, but we do. 3D printing the record would seem to be a sensible choice and would definitely do the job. However, we will end up creating plastic pins around 1mm in size that trigger the music box hidden in the record player's arm. I was worried about whether the extruded plastic technique used by most printers would give it the required strength. That, and I don't have a 3D printer.
Also the CNC mill means I'm not limited to plastic. I can just as easily create the records from wood (a hardwood should be strong enough) or even metal, but let's start with plastic.
If you want to 3D print a record then my code will have to be adapted but it's all open and should be easy enough to convert. If I get a 3D printer then I'll definitely adapt the gcode generation part so that it can create the appropriate files for a printer. I'll be entering this in the "Make it Real" challenge, so you never know... In fact, if I win a 3D printer, I promise I'll update it so it can print records too. Anyway, what could sum up "Make it Real" more than taking something intangible like music and turning it into something physical.
UPDATE: I've now finished a 3D printed version of this project. As all but one of the steps are different, I've created a separate Instructable for it here. So if you don't have a CNC mill (that's everyone apart from rdarlington) then you can now create your own discs.
Continuing the spirit of Instructables, if you create the music and share it, I'll make it real for you. Download the music editor (see step 3) and send me the fpr file it creates. I'll pick the best, mill them and a send out some discs. I'm not very musical, so sure that it won't be hard do do better than my attempt. I have to limit it to 5 just because each one will take me a couple of hours to do.
Step 1: What you'll need
Firstly, you'll need a CNC controlled mill or router with a 1mm end mill. I understand that this is not exactly the sort of thing most people have lying around - but it should be! I bought a mill and converted for about £525 (€650 or $825) and it's been so useful for milling PCBs and creating random stuff like this.
If you're interested I've detailed my conversion in another Instructable here. Plenty of other people have documented their builds of this and similar mills too.
Secondly, you'll need a suitable sheet of plastic to mill. I used acrylic sheet in either 3mm (for single-sided record) or 5mm for a double-sided one. This easily available in A4 sheets that is enough to create 2 records. Another advantage of the mill is that we could make our records out of wood or even metal. Let's stick to acrylic for now though.

Actually, considering the music is digitally encoded in pits engraved on a small disc you could probably say that this is a very early CD.
I can't add links in comments, but you'll find a link to a new Instructable on the first page - or copy and paste this.
I've now updated this and there shouldn't be any issues but if anyone is using this please check before you mill! I tried my best and it worked for me but I'm fairly new to this.
CamBam is what I used to view and it helped a lot. I had some bugs where notes were packed so close that the second one started before the first finished and the "backwards" arcs my code created gave some large circles.
The code first works out the polar coordinates of the pins. The gcode files are just text so that wasn't too hard to generate from this. I would expect that the next step for 3D printing would be to start with a "blank disc" STL file and to add the appropriate pins by adding shapes to the drawing as required. I've no experience of creating STL files in code (yet) but will update this Instructable with my progress.
I've been checking out Instructables for a while If I'd known it was this much fun I'd have got round to posting something before. There are a few other things I hope to get written up soon.
For double sided discs this means that the engraved description is for the other side! This is obviously the same if you play the original discs on the "wrong" player too,
I've had "You are my Sunshine" by peakfrean that'll be heading his way soon.
MantisFang and FaceInTheBooty have created original compositions and asked for me email address to send them to me, but I've not received anything yet.
kelprecords would like to get something from one of the artists on his record label out on the latest and greatest audio format. (Who needs MP3s and iPods? This is the future.) He's working with the editing software now and I'll be very interested to see what he comes up with.
This definitely shows up the limits of the player. You can see where it's trying to play some repeated notes quickly and they're not one of the "doubled-up" ones. The music box trips up and skips a little.
Have you got one of these record players? If so, drop me a message with your address and I'll mail you a copy.
And you know how particular Star Wars fans are - I'm afraid if I create a version with a few bum notes I'll have legions of them after me.
You should see if you could directly convert a MIDI file - they're basically digital sheet music.

Hi, I have just bought a AS201 and love the sound, especially for the money! This is my first acoustic guitar, although I am familiar with setting up electric guitars.
I was wondering if anyone could help me sort out a few problems I have with the way the guitar is set-up. Out of interest what is the relief when the low E string is fretted at the 1st and 14th fret supposed to be? As mine appears to be quite high at 1mm, in addition to this the truss rod appears to be as tight as it can go, so I dont think I can lower this, can I?
Secondly the action of the low E at the 12 fret is 3.5/4mm and the high E 3mm, this also seems a bit high. There is no shim or anything underneath the saddle, so is my only option of lowering the action to reduce the height of the saddle or perhaps a set of lighter strings?
Thanks for your time in reading this, any help will be appreciated!

Topic Overview
What is tongue-tie?
Tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) is a problem that is present at birth. It happens when the tissue that attaches the tongue to the bottom of the mouth (lingual frenulum) is too short. This can limit the movement of the tongue.
See a picture of Reference tongue-tie Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window.
What causes tongue-tie?
The cause of tongue-tie isn't always known. It can run in families or may occur in babies who have other problems that affect the mouth or face, such as Reference cleft palate Opens New Window.
What are the symptoms?
Many babies with tongue-tie don't have symptoms. The tissue either stretches as the child grows, or the child adapts to the tongue restriction. But some children with tongue-tie have:
- Trouble latching on to the mother's breast and sucking. (Bottle-fed babies usually don't have feeding problems, because it is easy to get milk from the nipple of a bottle.)
- Gaps or spaces between the front lower teeth.
- Speech problems, because the tip of the tongue cannot rise high enough to make some sounds clearly, such as t, d, z, s, th, n, and l.
- Personal or social problems related to the restricted tongue movement, such as problems cleaning food off the teeth with the tongue. A child with tongue-tie may be made fun of by peers.
How is tongue-tie diagnosed?
Your doctor will do a physical exam of your child's mouth and ask about his or her symptoms. In an older child or adult, the doctor may check the shape and movements of the tongue.
How is it treated?
If your baby is younger than 1 year of age and has problems with feeding, the doctor may do a medical procedure (frenotomy) to clip the Reference lingual frenulum Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window. If your baby has tongue-tie and is feeding okay, you may choose to wait and see if his or her lingual frenulum stretches on its own.
While you wait and see, you can also:
- Talk to a Reference lactation consultant Opens New Window if you are having breast-feeding problems.
- Consult a Reference speech therapist Opens New Window if your toddler is having speech problems.
If tongue-tie causes speech problems or personal or social problems as your child grows, the doctor may do a frenuloplasty. In this surgery, the doctor clips the lingual frenulum and closes the wound with stitches. The doctor may also teach your child how to do tongue exercises to improve tongue movement.
Some children don't need treatment because they adapt to the way their tongue is or the problem gets better as they grow.

The city of Adairville will soon begin the process of surveying its citizens in order to apply for a community development block grant (CDBG) through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
A short, eight-question survey will be conducted by members of the city council and the city workers to individuals who live in the city limits.
The purpose is to see if Adairville qualifies for the grant, which will be used for improvements to the town's water and sewer lines.
"Right now, we're still just getting together a list of what we want to fix and getting ready to do the survey," Adairville city clerk Sharon Head said.
The survey asks questions about how many people live in a residence, how many are over 62 or disabled and asks about what range of income the household falls under.
A similar survey was conducted a couple years back by the Adairville Fire Department, but its results were insufficient to qualify for a CDBG.
Head said that 51 percent of those responding need to fall into the low to moderate income range in order for the city to qualify.
The improvements to the water and sewer lines are estimated to cost around $1.1 million.
"That can definitely change, because those are preliminary figures of estimated costs," Head said.
Also, some of the items on the list the city is compiling may not make it to the final cut.
Some of the things that they hope to improve include replacing water valves and fire hydrants and replacing old sewer lines and adding a new sewage pump station.
"We really need the new water valves so that we can shut down water to smaller areas of the city and not have to shut the whole city down - that's critical," Head said.
If the city gets the CDBG, it will not fund the entire project.
Head said that the city is hopeful that the grant will pay for 30 to 50 percent of the entire project. The city will also apply for a loan through the Kentucky Rural Water Association - which will "forgive" 30 percent of the total.
"We're hoping to get it down to where $300,000 to $500,00 is all we have to pay as a city," Head said.

Keselowski spreads word of first title
Sweet tweet
HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Brad Keselowski didn't dare take his phone in his car before the biggest race of his life. NASCAR's social media champion handed it over before pulling on his helmet and chasing the Sprint Cup title he promised to deliver to Roger Penske.
But when Sunday's race ended, Keselowski crossing the finish line at Homestead-Miami Speedway as the champion, he didn't even consider getting out of his car to celebrate before getting that phone back.
Why? He had to tweet, of course.

The Grand Junction Visitor and Convention Bureau (GJVCB) announce winter activities from ski slopes and red rocks to Harleys and fine wine
Grand Junction, Colorado (PRWEB) December 04, 2012
Grand Junction, Colo. – Colorado's western side is a treasure trove of well-kept winter secrets. In a region known for world-class skiing, the Grand Junction area adds wineries, prehistoric monsters, scenic drives, and Western culture to make for an unforgettable winter getaway. And unlike other Colorado winter destinations, Grand Junction's mild winter climate (53 degree year round average) lets you enjoy four seasons of activities -- all winter!
Here are just a few ideas to round out a winter visit:
About Grand Junction (http://www.visitgrandjunction.com)
Nestled near 11,000-foot Grand Mesa and the 7,500-foot Book Cliffs, Grand Junction is the largest city in western Colorado. At an altitude of 4,586 feet, warm summers and moderate spring, fall and winter seasons allow for year-round golf, hiking and biking. Boasting more than 275 days of sunshine annually, Grand Junction recently was named one of the eight sunniest cities in the United States by TourismReview.com. Among Grand Junction's spectacular red cliffs and winding canyons are the Grand Mesa, the world's largest flat-topped mountain, the Colorado National Monument, Bookcliff Wild Horse Area, two national scenic byways and five golf courses. Grand Junction lies in the heart of the Colorado-Utah Dinosaur Diamond. The area also is home to Colorado's wine country, with nearly 30 vineyards and wineries.

Mac Para has just released it's first full reflex glider, the Mac Jet. It is available in 5 sizes, 22, 24, 26, 28, and 31. The retail price of the Mac Jet is $3500.
As with all Mac gliders, it is very easy to inflate and ground handle. It is also fast, nimble and safe. In short, the Mac Jet will be a contender in a market dominated by a few competitors. Below is a review of my first flight on the 24 Mac Jet.
I got a Mac Jet 24 yesterday and I really wanted to take it for a spin (bad choice of words!). The winds laid down so I took off out of the park about 4:45. When I got up a couple of hundred feet it was quite bumpy which was what I was hoping for because I wanted to test the Mac Jet. I was quite impressed. It handled exactly the way a reflex glider is supposed to handle, i.e., fast and very stable. My only other experience was with the Mac Jet 28 which seemed way to big for me at only 155 lbs. The 24 on the other hand felt great. It turns quite easily with the wing tip steering and seems feels very nimble. I think I probably had to use more power with the trim out than I would with the Velvet or Envy 2, but that is to be expected of full reflex gliders.
Speed wise, the Mac Jet 24 was quite zippy, and had no trouble penetrating down wind. Unfortunately, I did not have a GPS to clock the actual speed.
I was flying over the Exxon/Mobile property just north of my house about 20 minutes into the flight, and decided to go low, so I backed off the power and mymotor died. Fortunately, I still had some altitude so I chose a spot close to a dirt road set up for landing. I was not sure if I was exactly into the wind because as I got close to the ground my speed seemed excessive. I braced for a fast landing but when I flared there was a ton of energy and, voila!, I had a nice soft two step landing.

ok, as a lot of people know, i cant stick to an army for more than a few weeks. months at the most, days at the least.
i want to get an army done, all painted, converted and the like, and ive chosen the perfect army for me-
nurgle beastmen chariot army. i know they cant officially have the mark of nurgle, but no doubt in friendly games they will let me pay the cost from the hordes book. theres been no erretta yet, and it says they can replace their mark. no cost in the beasts book though, but hell...
this project will be a tale of 1 gamer, but mainly getting the damn army finished. i may give minor battle result and lists here, or just link to them.
so, ill get started.
im nurgle boy. 14 years young, a little (very) odd, overwight, have a good sense of humour, unable to stick to armies, and currently single (you knw you want me!)
the idea of this is to get a damn army finished for once, and to a decent standard. blah blah blah, first months purchases!
not so much a set amount, as it varies month to month, but hell-
nurgle lord on daemon steed-£15 (bought by a friend at £10. silly games day staff )
khemri chariot box X2-£32 (the core of my army, bought at full retail)
gothor the beastlord-£18
spent- the equivilent of £83, i spent £68
so far i have the chariots glued and converted (i had enough boars to do half skeletal boars. ill sculpt the rot on later today) the boars and crew. built gothors chariot, and converted gothor using bitz form the nurgle lord (sythe, and sword shield bit), and planned my chaos sorcerer, and bray shaman conversions. the sorcerer will use the standard monuted lord bots, with gothors spear, and the pointy hand, and hell be the only non beast in my army, even though modled as a beast. hes an exalted sorcerer, with the daemonsword (he kicks ass in combat, a surprise for the enemy), on a daemon steed. i may put him down to a normal chaos sorcerer if he keeps dying though... the bray shamans witll be part plastic, part metal, and lots of green stuff.
pics will come later, hopefully, and i may even start painting!
ok, editing to reduce multiple postngs
still no pictures im afraid, but ill give a small update to how its going
got it all converted, sprayed, and in the last 10 mins, i got the bases and wood of the chariots drybrushed...
got some nice comments at the store about my beastlord. pics of him will come tommorow...
ok, irst lot of pics, taken with a crummy camera, so bear with me, and i hope their not too bad!
all but the lord
the lord on his own
the lot of them
and the lord with his beasts.
oh, and a little extra of what ive been doing, say hello to griselda
oh, and to bump this, im going to post and delete, as its nearing the page bottom. id also like some feedback, if theres anything youcan see form the pics at all!

Decades ago, Lake Neatawantha, which sits between Fulton and the town of Granby, was once a hot spot for swimming, fishing, and boating. But over time, sediment run-off, left untreated, has made the lake unusable. Wednesday, city and town officials launched a new initiative to clean it up for good. Our Candace Hopkins has more on their efforts.
OSWEGO COUNTY, N.Y. -- "There used to be boat races there when I was a young man, families were there every weekend in the evenings during the hot part of the summer swimming, and there was a lot of fishing, I used to fish with my dad every Sunday," said Granby Town Supervisor Ed Williamson.
"When I was a kid, in '68, I used to go there with my parents, and go to the lake, and have cookouts, boat rides, and all kinds of good stuff," said Douglas Chapman, a Fulton resident.
Residents and officials alike reflected on their time spent on Lake Neatwantha as children, a place where families from throughout the area once gathered.
But those precious memories are now a thing of the past. After years of letting nature take its course, sediment run-offs have polluted the lake, leaving it unusable.
"The lake is just a green sludge pit, in warm weather all this green and such rises to the top," said Williamson.
Meaning fishing and swimming are off limits. And as the sign says, even letting your pet in the water could be a health hazard.
Now area officials say the time has come to restore the lake to its former glory, launching a fundraising effort Wednesday night.
"It's a hard pill to swallow, and it seems insurmountable, but it's not," said Fulton Mayor Ron Woodward.
And that's Mayor Woodward's message to the community, in hopes of gaining support for the project, which he believes could help re-energize the area.
"It will generate business...it helps our image, makes us feel better about ourselves," said Mayor Woodward.
Business potential aside, many residents say just seeing the lake restored once again to a source of pride for the community would be worth the effort.

OK! here's the locations of the first 10 Diamonds
1. at the docks
2. climb the drain pipe by the shopkeeper (behind tile)
3. 1st step in the church (behind railing)
4. in the bell
5. between the stones by the branch (under tile)
6. in the crypt under the church
7. in the crypt under the church (behind sword handle)
8. on top of the lower hopper
9. behind the railing, near the rat
10. start the loader (click on cab)
It's difficult to know which 2 diamonds, you are missing.
the most hidden one, you need the hammer to get
Yeh I've done that, I've gotten like 2 or 3 from behind items in the caves.
I haven't used the hammer yet so I guess that narrows it down to 1... Hmm well I guess I better get searching
Hmm, I hope you haven't released your new version yet because I got stuck again...
It was the 40th Diamond I could not find. It was very well hidden.
Not far for you to go now....
Oh bloody hell, I just know it's gonna be somewhere obvious, and it's not the one you get from the hammer
I'm also pretty confident I have all the ones from the *SPOILER* mines, jungle and ones you get from pick
as well as the easy to see ones =p
So perhaps that will narrow it down for you?
Ohh brilliant ending =)
Loved it.
Fantastic game, so much effort gone into that =)
When's the next one?

The Columbus Blue Jackets entered the 2011-12 season with high hopes riding the momentum of a slew of high-profile free agent acquisitions, but the team's season soon unraveled after the first few months of the season. The Blue Jackets finished with a 29-46-7 record and posted the worst record in the NHL, marking the third straight year that the team missed the playoffs. Head coach Todd Richards took over mid-season and the Blue Jackets spent much of the offseason revamping their roster and trading their points leader, Rick Nash, to the New York Rangers. Looking ahead to the 2012-13 season, the Blue Jackets will look to become more of a team-oriented organization that will place individual contributions over the efforts of a handful of superstars.
Offensively, the Blue Jackets may have lost their leading scorer, but they have plenty of talented depth players behind him that could cover up his absence. Wingers Vinny Prospal and R.J. Umberger put up more than 40 points each during last season, and the team is also hoping for the continued growth of center Derick Brassard. The team made some wise acquisitions in the offseason by adding center Artem Anisimov, as well as wingers Brandon Dubinsky and Nick Foligno. It may take awhile for the team to gel and learn each other's playing style, but the Blue Jackets have done their job to add complementary pieces which could turn into a potent scoring attack.
The Blue Jackets' defensive lineup is still lead by the talented Jack Johnson, but the team also is counting on James Wisniewski to strengthen the squad's penalty kill and power play opportunities. Behind them, the Blue Jackets have talented young players like Nikita Nikitin and John Moore, who could see an increasing amount of playing time this season. One of the biggest question marks for the Blue Jackets is their goaltending situation. Starting goalie Sergei Bobrovsky finished with a pedestrian .899 save percentage after the 2011-12 season, and his backup, Steve Mason had a down season overall as well. One of the two will have to step up his level of play if the Blue Jackets are going to make a postseason run this year.
The Blue Jackets will kick off their season on Saturday, October 13 against the Chicago Blackhawks on the road, and will host their home opener on Friday, October 19 against the Vancouver Canucks. With many changes on their roster from top to bottom, the Blue Jackets certainly have their work cut out for them, but certainly have more than enough young talent to surprise NHL fans this fall.
COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS EXPERIENCE: Founded: 2000 Location: Columbus, Ohio Stadium: Nationwide Arena Conference: Western Conference Division: Central Division Columbus Blue Jackets Stanley Cup Titles: None yet Columbus Blue Jackets Conference Championships: None yet Notable Players: Rich Nash, Sergei Federov
The Columbus Blue Jackets play in the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). Columbus began playing in 2000. The team is part of that year's expansion that included the Minnesota Wild. The Columbus Blue Jackets struggled in their first few seasons, but managed to make a strong start in 2002, only to fall behind later in the year. In 2005, the Columbus Blue Jackets seemed poised to rise up and into the playoffs, but injuries hampered the squad and again they fell behind. This season looks to be the best chance Columbus has had for success. With the leadership of veteran Sergei Federov and the young talent of Rick Nash, Columbus fans really have something to cheer for.
The Columbus Blue Jackets play their home games at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. The arena has a capacity of over 18,000 spectators for hokey games. Centered in Columbus' growing entertainment district not far from the Ohio state capitol, seeing a game at Nationwide is a great way to see a young team in a growing city.

Hey guys, so, I love this move in fire-type Pokemon, buuut, there's the problem of the Sp. Attack loss. How could I counter it?
As said before, removing the stat changes by switching or holding a White Herb work. Switching is going to work best in fact. But there are two other means.
Switching: No real drawbacks, besides the actual switching out of your Pokemon. If you hold a Choice Scarf or Specs, this somewhat negates this negative side-effect, as you'd have probably been switching out anyways after netting the KO and they send in a counter. White Herb: The worst of the options. This comes at the cost of a better item, such as a Choice item, Leftovers, Expert Belt, or Life Orb. A Specs/Belt/Orb boosted Fire Blast will be doing more damage than a White Herb Overheat. Contrary: Absolutely no drawbacks, besides the fact that this strategy can't be used in standard play. Give a Reshiram this combo and sweep the world. Power Swap: This comes at the cost of a moveslot and a turn. And having to use Ninetales, which is pretty useless outside of a Sun team. Ninetales would like the slot for a coverage or status move, and the foe can always just switch out from the -2.
Switching out and switching back in removes the drop.
Give the Pokemon Nasty Plot or Calm Mind to remedy the drop.
Give them the item White Herb. It cures any stat drop, but only once.
There's only one way to counter the effect. And that is them item White Herb, which sets negative stat changes back to normal. However, it is a one use item.
Well, you could use White Herb. . It restores all Stat Losses.

I enjoy being at Mac. My professors are awesome, and the students are too. Mac students don't really know how to party though.
There is a ton going on on-campus for students - the only problem is juggling my schedule to fit in as many events as possible and still finding to time to get homework done!
» Read MoreMacalester is great, however, I think the St. Paul/Twin Cities area is probably the more attractive draw of the two. There are plenty of campuses that would be fun, just like Macalester, but few have the benefits and fun of a big city. Great education and enormous possibilities when you get sick of studying with other student; where else can you get that?
» Read MoreGrowing up in a small town going to small schools, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to go someplace where I will be in a bigger city, yet still have the community that comes with going to a smaller school that I have grown to love so much.
» Read MoreGoing to Macalester is probably the best decision I've ever made. I've met friends here from all different fields of study (my roommates and best friends' majors are english, computer science and economics). Most everyone gets along and you get to meet a lot of strong minded individuals. I went into the school knowing nobody and within the week, my entire freshman floor became a community where everyone was able to mingle and be friendly.

Below are some common questions,tips and tricks about the Nokia Series 60 Theme Studio
Please read through it before asking questions. If you still have any doubts, kindly post them in this thread. (IMG:http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/591/tick3du.png) What version of Theme Studio should i be using? QUOTE If you have any of the following devices, Nokia 3230, Nokia 6600, Nokia 6260, Nokia 6630, Nokia 6670, Nokia 6680, Nokia 6681 ,Nokia 7610 and Nokia 6620,you should be using version 1.2. DOWNLOAD THEME STUDIO 1.2 Themes created with version 3.0 are not compatible with the above models. Use v 3.0 only if you have an N-Series device. DOWNLOAD THEME STUDIO 3.0 (IMG:http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/591/tick3du.png) Having theme studio running on your pc,should always be kept to a minimum,so here are some images you can make easily,without even opening theme studio,once you have made these images in the correct sizes you can then import them all,and add the finishing areas,then create the sis file. Values quoted in pixels. QUOTE Idle screen- 176x208 Background - 176x208 Calender - 176x141 Navigation background - 176x15 (+ wipe) GoTo - 176x185 Softkeys - 176x20 Status area - 176x44 Analogue Clock - 51x56 Signal+Battery bars - 12x29 (IMG:http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/591/tick3du.png) How to create 'theme template' which save lots of time NOT having to deal with theme studio? As suggested by Timetraveler. Please note that you will need a sound understanding of how the theme studio works in order to use this method. QUOTE The main point is: 'everytime you click save on the save button in Nokia Theme, it will create a .bmp file with a corresponding filename to the customized items, in a same folder with your themes name.' Step 1 : Create a new theme using theme studio and name it "template", choose all and deselect sound (no need to have that), then click ok. Step 2 : At the background image page, click the colour on the menu to your right. When a colour pallete pop up, click ok. Then, just save it. (menus at the bottom of your main image editor window). Notice that the first thumbnail is now checked? Now, if you open file manager to see the current folder you are working at, you will see a file named : background_image1.bmp. Step 3 : Keep repeating step 2 until all the items you want to customised are saved as .bmp in the "template" folder. The same applies for icons if you wish to customise them. Step 4 : Save the "template" theme. Then close the theme studio. Step 5 : Using any image editor (Adobe Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro), open the "template" folder. It can be found under the Theme Studio\data\skinsdir\template. By now, you should have something like this: (IMG:http://img326.imageshack.us/img326/1690/well24kf.jpg) Step 6 : Open the background_image1.bmp. Then, copy any background wallpaper you created earlier and paste on it. Merge the two layers, close the file and click 'yes' to save it. (do not change the filename, image size, image mode, or file type. Otherwise, Theme Studio will popup an error message.) All you need here is to make an effort to find out which file is the correct one to paste into. Step 7 : Once you are done with all the image, close all the other programs. Open the theme studio, open the 'template' theme, and do some adjustments (colours). Step 8 : Go to the checkout (the last menu). If everything is fine, continue to make it into the .sis file. Original tutorial by Timetraveler can be found over HERE (IMG:http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/591/tick3du.png) Whats the easiest way to create a nice analogue clock,(i dont understand masks with gradients and dont mind cheating). QUOTE The clock is made up of 5 images in total (including masks),various images and the date border image. Image 1 - Completely black - Save Image 2 - Completely black - Save Image 3 - This is usually the date border image which gives it a 3d box look. Scrap this image and create a new image by cropping the 51x56 area from the 176x208 idle screen image. Crop from x:13 y:0,which is the exact area the clock is placed on the idle screen. You should be cutting out this area (IMG:http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/4759/idle6tb.png) Then paste your clock image directly onto it, using any affects you want. (note: use the attached marker to make sure the clock hands are in the centre and the date is not obstructed). Save the finished clock image and load into theme studio,clock image 3 - Save Image 4 - All white,but if you prefer a more professional look,you can add a centre point which will go over the top of the hands (Note: use the marker again for the centre point) Image 5 - All black but with a white centre,if you chose to use a centre point in image 4. All 5 finished images should look like this (IMG:http://img350.imageshack.us/img350/6093/clocks9dk.png) And here is the marker,to check the locations of the hands centre and the date. (right click/save as) (image is transparent .png). (IMG:http://img350.imageshack.us/img350/8850/clockmarker7jj.png) (IMG:http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/591/tick3du.png) How to remove the blue bar that runs between the status area and the wallpaper image? QUOTE This image is called the 'navi pane',there are two 'navi pane' images,one is the 'navi pane background' (which shows only on the idle screen),the other is called the 'navi wipe',which shows on all other screens. 1: Go to selection 02 (Areas) 2: It will open in 'status area',select the bottom image (navi pane background) 3: Select 'components' (on the right of the screen) and double click the 'none' image and save. Do the same for the 'navi wipe' (if you want to remove this as well),but keep in mind,this image is there to aid visibility to the text which is placed on top,so choose your background images considering this. (IMG:http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/591/tick3du.png) Theme Studio is really slow,is there any way i can speed it up? QUOTE Theme Studio is slow,mainly because it runs on a java engine that uses lots of RAM,for this reason,use additional applications wisely,(eg: using theme studio,windows media player,internet browser and your paint program is enough to cause serious delays and sometimes crashes/errors on a pc with anything less than 512Mb of RAM). Restarting your pc before using theme studio,is worth doing as it clears the RAM ready for a beating. Upgrading your Pc to 1024MB ram,may seem like overkill,but beleive me its worth it. Most of the delay in switching between areas,is caused by theme studio loading all of your previous theme graphics into the components browser,so the more themes you make,the slower it gets. Here is a way around this....... Move your individual theme graphics folders from C:/Program Files/Theme Studio/Data/Skins dir....to a seperate folder in My Documents (for example),leaving only the base graphics folder. This makes it faster,as it no longer has to search and load all the individual images into the components browser. The components browser will now of course be empty (exept the base graphics),so if you really must use old theme areas,you can select them from the graphics folders you moved earlier. (IMG:http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/591/tick3du.png) I get a 'BMCONV.EXE' error,when creating the .sis file? QUOTE There can be many reasons for this,but the most common is using a 'List Highlight" component,that has too many colors in certain areas of the image. To check if this is the problem you are having,go to the 'List highlight' selection,and select the default highlight from the components browser,then try to remake the .sis file.If its now ok,open your list highlight image (with your paint program) and put a single color border around it. (IMG:http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/591/tick3du.png) What do i do,if i keep getting this error message? (IMG:http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/584/untitled19rf.png) QUOTE Un-install and then re-install. This time make sure you choose to install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that comes together with the theme studio download package. This is a selectable option,about half way through the install process. Please do so even if you already have a copy of JRE in your PC,as compatibility issues,often occur. (IMG:http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/591/tick3du.png) How do i create icons for theme studio,using photoshop? QUOTE HERE is a tutorial by sg-GOD.
