Description of the Thurmond Lake vacation home rental
Very large and roomy home, outfitted for comfort and convenience.
Deep water @ private dock;
Beautiful views; easy access to dock.
Fish cleaning station; spare freezer for storing fish and game.
Plenty of off-street parking; home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood.
Smoke-free, pet dander free home.
We do NOT rent for large parties or large groups (weddings, reunions, etc.) We do not rent for the explicit use of minors – such as spring break, graduation week, frat parties, etc. We cater to families and sportsmen. The house sleeps only 10 - no exceptions and no campers or tents are permitted for extra sleeping accomodations.
I receive many phone messages I cannot understand. Please speak slowly especially when saying your phone number. I ALWAYS return calls and emails, even if the house is unavailable. If you don't hear from me, it is because your email address or phone message was not usable. E-mailed inquiries will be seen first – I don't retrieve phone messages until I get home from work.
We post the depth of the water at the end of our dock and our photos show the view from the balcony. When shopping for lakefront rentals, ALWAYS ASK about water depth, view and terrain because photos are quite often deceiving. At full pool (usually Spring), we have about 14 feet of water depth at the end of our dock, but the Army Corps of Engineers are known to raise and lower the lake levels to accommodate conditions throughout the year. Always check with the Army Corps of Engineers for lake conditions if this is a concern. "Full Pool" is considered to be about 330' above sea level.
To further clarify rates:
NOV thru FEB………….…….200………….…..300……� �…...100
MAY thru AUG…………..…..400………….…..475……… ……175
Discounts are rounded up or down to a whole number, at owner's discretion.
Longer-stay discounts are applied to the entire visit.
Rates include preparation prior to your stay (e.g., cleaning, lawn care). There is no additional charge for cleaning after your stay unless there is excess dirt, trash, etc.
An additional amount - a refundable security deposit - is assessed according to length of stay and size of party.

Very Nice
February 28, 2013
Comfortable and lots of room. Very clean. Nice view of the lake out the back. Lake was below the normal level but if it were up the location right on the lake would have been great. All the comforts of home. Owners were quick to respond to emails and have an excellent detailed rental lease. We would recommend this to anyone.

Low lake level, but excellent fishing
November 23, 2012
We thuroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was everything we could have hoped for. Plenty of space to sleep, and large living room area for relaxing. The lake level was low, but we caught over 60 bass during the course of the week. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful stay right on the lake.

Owner was extremely helpful and nice. House is well maintained with everything that you will need. The house is very secluded and is not at all convenient to groceries, etc but that is the way that we wanted it. overall, we had a very good experience and would rent from again.

CARTHAGE, Mo. —
Workers at Innovative Industries in Carthage ended a walkout Tuesday after protesting the hiring of a new general manager to oversee the sheltered workshop.
About a dozen workers gathered Tuesday morning in the parking lot of the operation at 421 W. Centennial Ave., holding up signs and seeking public support for their stance.
The workers protested after the workshop board hired Jeff Jones to succeed Larry Lloyd, who retired last month after 30 years as general manager. Jones formerly was chairman of the board of directors. He said he resigned from that post to seek the general manager's job, a paid position.
Several of the workers said Jones has no experience working with the disabled, and they wanted the job to go to Charlie Torres, workshop assistant manager, who has been with the program for five years.
After discussions with Jones later on Tuesday, the group ended the walkout, said Jason Price and Bobby Viar, two of the workers.
Price said Jones talked with the picketing workers and asked them to go into the workshop to continue talks.
"We'd rather have Charlie, but we're willing to give it a try," Price said.
He said workers agreed after Jones outlined his goals for the operation.
"We think everybody knows how we feel, and we still think it's unfair," Viar said. "But we have to work, and we're going to give him a chance."
Jones, who is a member of the Carthage Board of Education, said he had served on the board of directors of the workshop for three years. He said he applied for the manager's post "because I believe in the mission, and I think I can make a difference and help the workshop grow." He formerly worked at Schreiber Foods in Carthage, and most recently worked for Cars on the Move, a vehicle transport business based in Webb City.
Later Tuesday, Jones said he was glad that he and the workers "were able to find some common ground."
"They wanted to make sure they were being heard, and they were," he said. "We want to be transparent with them, and communicate better."
Jones said most of the workers on duty Tuesday were involved in the picket. The said he believes some of the workers' discomfort stemmed from the fact he is replacing longtime manager Lloyd.
He said workers also cited a provision in state law that specifies that members of some boards are not eligible for employment within 12 months of leaving the board. He said attorneys have told the board that the restriction does not apply to the workshop board.
The board is not governed by that law, but it must follow its own bylaws and procedures, said Fulvio Franzi, director of extended employment sheltered workshops for the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's division of special education.
"Hopefully, the board is making decisions based on best practices and ethics, for what would be in the best interest of that organization that provides employment opportunities for people with disabilities," he said.
Torres, at work Tuesday, said he had been told that he and Jones were the finalists for the manager's post.
He would not comment on the protest except to say: "I think people with disabilities are showing they have rights. They want to have a say."

Innovative Industries in Carthage employs about 35 workers.

I have Adobe CS4 Pro with Flash v10. I'm trying to create a simple, basic calculator that adds 2 numbers. I followed the tutorial at http://layersmagazine.com/flash-design-calculator.html. At first, I was unable to assign variables to any objects, but got that cleared up by selecting ActionScript 2.0 (was set to 3.0). At this point, the calculator accepts the two numbers, but when I select the "add" button with the associated code as shown in the tutorial, nothing happens. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I might be doing wrong? Thanks.
Thanks for your reply. I am truly a novice at Flash, so I'm not sure how to check my listeners. I did use the Trace() function, and the only output I'm getting is "NaN" (NotANumber). I don't understand this since I've defined both of my input variables as number - Number(firstnumber) and Number(secondnumber). I tried defining the output as a number - Number(total) - but then got a compiler error.
This is all the code there is:
on(release) {
total = Number(firstnumber)+Number(secondnumber);
There's really not an error--I just don't get any output. I've created two 'Input Text' boxes, and on the properties tab for each I have defined the "Variable:" field as either 'Number(firstnumber)' or 'Number(secondnumber)'. I've also created a 'Dynamic Text' box and defined the "Variable:" field as 'Number(total)'.
Note: the example I was following did not specify to include the 'Number()' function in the "Variable:" fields. However, when I don't, and I run 'Test Movie', the 3 boxes are automatically filled with "_level0.firstnumber", "_level0.secondnumber" and "_level0.total". When I type 2 numbers in to the 2 'Input Text' boxes, and then select my button that has the above code associated with it, I get "NaN" in the output ('Dynamic Text') box.
Thanks again for your help!
This works fine for text. I am having the same difficulty creating a dynamic score box.
For example,
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if(this.hitTest(MC2)) {

Rather, it was the legal maneuvering afterward that nearly changed the training landscape.

With heartbreaking regularity, VFR pilots, often flying high-performance aircraft, continue to tangle with instrument weather despite odds that never improve for that dangerous game. Whether the result is a graveyard spiral from spatial disorientation, or colliding with terrain in a bid to escape weather, pilots keep trying, often with passengers.

In the skies over northern Massachusetts, generations of pilots have taken their first taste of a world turned upside down, an introduction to flight inverted that leaves a lasting impression. Many have gone on to learn aerobatics, or get a taildragger endorsement: this kind of flying is pure fun. There's also a serious purpose behind unusual attitude training--just ask any small airplane pilot who has been caught in the wake vortex of an airliner. Learning to master spins, and spin recovery, is another step to building confidence as a pilot, and the skills needed to stay in control no matter what.

To hear the passenger talk about it, it had been one harrowing flight. No words of distress had been spoken in the cockpit or on the radio, but you know what they say about cutting tension with a knife. Was the cover-up worse than the crime?

Top Ten Fastest Rappers « see full list
Busta Rhymes
There are faster songs than Look At Me Now by the way. (Why Stop Now = wow) Busta IS the fastest! His manager won't allow him to go his fastest because he thinks his records won't sell. If his music is too hard for people to understand, they won't buy it, goes the theory. I think that's why Twista isn't as popular. Busta could go faster than Rebel . You can tell from videos on YouTube of him clownin around (not recording). BUSTA RHYMES IS THE FASTEST RAPPER!
Busta Rhymes is incredible! In his songs Break Ya Neck and 60 Second Assassin he is just mad! To all people who only know Bust Rhymes from Look At Me Now, you must listen to these as well as the rest of his music... Beware though it's fast! Credit to Twista too, he never lets you down
I personally think that busta rhymes should be number one because I am having a hard time believing that twista is faster... Nobody even knows Twista like that. Busta has been out for over 10 years and I feel he is better qualified and more deserving of the number one spot. Twista is cool and I'm not hating but who made this list like really?
Ight, Bussa Bus iz the fastest. I've known dis b4 "Look at me Now". Chris Lighty, his manager, tells him not to rap his fastest
Cuz he says his albums won't sell. Dis dawg fasta than Rebel XD! And everybody else on the list! Respect though. I like Tech and Twista. Love me some Cory Gunz...

in look at me now all I heard was gmgfbjfbhjkfydhgfdsgfdsjfgdfkgdfdkgfdfgdhjgfidgfhjdsagfygdsafygdhfgyidsgfyidsgfisydfgdsfysgfhsgfykdagfuikguikghdsf coming out of busta rhymes's mouth! I mean seriously this dude might be the fastest in the world
Busta Bus! If you watch him do "Break Ya Neck" live, he's not even outta breath when he's done! And his songs have a lot of pauses in them. If he went as fast as he could for as long as he could, it'd sound like "Mista Tung Twista" in fast forward! No disrespect to Twista, Tech, and the rest but I think Bus has this...
Look at me now was fast, however that isn't as fast as what Busta Rhymes can do. I you listen to 60 second assassins, Busta makes Look at me now sound slow. Very talented rapper, and to me the fastest out there. BTW, 60 sec Assassins has Twista and Lazy Bone in it as well. Both two fast rappers, however they rap fast in spurts. Busta is fast throughout which gives him my vote.
Eminem is the best rapper alive, but Busta is the fastest. I'm sure everyone has heard him in Look at Me Now, and wow! Amazing! Speed is crazy and he doesn't choke once. Doesn't mess up nothing. I mean it took me multiple times to finally realize a portion of what he was saying in look at me now, I still don't understand all of it, but just his speed alone impresses me. It's pretty awesome
man he is better than twista.
busta is the best in the world.
I like him so much.
but I think he can go faster if we chant him on he could be the fastest.
he is still the best.
thats what I think.
for all the people who don't like busta you are dam stupid.
thats what I think of busta.
he goes so fast in look at me now you can't under stand him.

Busta Rhymes has to be one of the fastest rappers of all time, especially because of the remix to "Welcome To My Hood" by DJ Khaled. His verse isn't as long as "Look At Me Now", but he still kills the track.
Busta rhymes is definitely one of the sickest rappers I've ever heard. Break ya neck is the sickest thing ever. Busta should be no. 1 You can barely understand what he says, I only understand the last 2 words in each sentence. Respect Busta.
I set here comparing twista to busta and busta lays it don't get me wrounge twista is sick to but this is bustas game he lays it and makes twista look like a kid on the play groung lol but this is my oppinon the are both great but busta gots my vote
Busta rhymes the one and only busta Muslim but he can rap fast I should know I slowed down look at me now and welcome to my hood remix he's still fast also listen to grow up cher Lloyd ft. Busta rhymes the only song that twista is really faster than busta in is go hard remix so bust would win!
Eminem is my favorite rapper but in speed hands down to busta rhymes. Eminem rapped fast once or twice in rap god but listen to look at me now chris brown ft. Busta Rhymes and lil Wayne and listen to the part where busta starts rapping. If Eminem can come even close to that than hats off to him but Busta Rhymes is much faster. Fluid? Maybe not but definitely faster
Busta is just sick the way he spins like a choppers blade and rhymes with it again and sometimes he just doesn't want to take a break and breath he just spits so fast that sometimes he goes off beat then the beat will just have to stop for him twista is fast and a tongue twista but I think busta is faster because he doesn't take a break check out his verses in the song 'can you keep up' its sick men.
U people need a dictionary because I can understand every word in the song Look At Me Now. :P Soo Ya'll should think before yea talk.
He is the fastest rapper his song can you keep up is the fastest song ever nobody can keep up with him some people say eminem is quicker than busta rhymes but that is not true. Busta rhymes is quick I can't hear a thing he says.
Busta Is a really fast rapper, in the video Look At Me Now, he raps really well, Its a really good song too, Busta, WE LOVE YOU! Its hard for other people to sing or rap to as well, which makes him a really fast rapper and I think everyone should LOVE Busta!
Busta has a very unique and original style of rapping, which happens to be fast. He is not the fastest rapper in the world, but the fastest mainstream rapper for sure. He manages to keep the great content of his lyrics great while remaining at the speed he is at. Bussa Buss is a legend in hip hop.
Fastest! His manager says not to go as fast as possible b/c no one will listen to his stuff. He's faster than you can possibly imagine...
I like Busta Rhymes more than Twista for some reason, don't know why. But "Can You Keep Up" is a song by Twista Busta Rhymes is AWESOME. You can understand the word and the end of every line, if you're lucky. Spit till the death of me.
Busta Rhymes is the best on this list but really... D-LOC and underrated Smash on all these rappers. And Eminem? Seriously? Hope you read this punk. He's good but I can find a better rapper on the streets
There's no way anyone is in any way Faster than Busta.
Maybe Twista.
"Can You Keep Up" dictates this majestically.
When people try to enforce their opinions with "Well Eminem raps about life" Like really. On a Fastest Rapper list. Really. Get out please.
Maybe Twista.

Just listen 60 seconds assassin's
And you will know that Busta is fastest! Yeah!
And you will know that Busta is fastest! Yeah!
I have heard Busta Rhymes and Twista spit faster then anyone one this list. They both rapped a song called can you keep up, look that song up and you'll see they're faster then anyone on this list

Double blessing
'My Two Moms'
By Zach Wahls with Bruce Littlefield
Gotham Books
234 pages
For author Zach Wahls, family has a familiar meaning to which many can relate, but his normal is slightly different as he explains in his new book, "My Two Moms."
From the moment he was conceived, Zach Wahls was a member of an unusual family.
His mother, Terry, was an unmarried internal medicine physician at a Wisconsin hospital when she decided she was ready for children. But first, she had to convince IVF doctors to do the procedure because they said they did not "do" illegitimate children.
A few years later, she had the procedure again with the same donor and gave her son a biological sister because a family was what Terry always wanted. It was icing on the cake when Terry met Jackie and they fell in love.
For most of his early childhood, Zach Wahls didn't think much about the fact that he had two moms. It was no big deal to other kids, so it was no big deal to him. When the family moved to Iowa to live closer to Terry's mother, though, Wahls encountered teasing and bullying.
But his mothers had raised him with good values and they instilled a sense of character in their son. They taught him that boys and girls are equal but different and that there is no better gender. They showed him that the world is "rarely black and white." He learned that words can hurt, and so can being told you have no rights.
From his "Short Mom," he learned the meaning of commitment and loyalty. His "Tall Mom" taught him cheerfulness. And when Zach Wahls was asked to testify in front of the Iowa House Judiciary Committee, both moms' lessons of bravery were evident.
Looking for a book that will warm your heart and make you proud of young men like this? "My Two Moms" will do the trick.
But while the book is endearing, it can be a choppy read. Wahls (with Bruce Littlefield) bounces from thought to thought in this memoir, giving us half a story here, half there, and something completely different in between. That's appealing, in an eager-puppy sort of way, but this literary spill makes a mess sometimes.
Still, Wahls' main message boldly holds this book together and overcomes the chaos to shine through. Love is love is love, he shows his readers, and gender doesn't make any difference. Gender is not what makes a family.
In his book, Wahls asks, in many ways, "What's the big deal?" and I think the answer lies in his story. If you've been asking the same question, look for "My Two Moms" and pick it up.

I don't build backlinks because of pagerank, I build backlinks for 'trust'. Sites that link to me pass 'trust' to me. How much trust they pass to me is based on how much 'trust' they have passed to them as a result of their backlinks. All things being equal, the same backlinks to a .edu or a .com I would think they're the same. In fact I believe matt cutts publicly commented that this was the case (my memory is horrible, I hope I'm not putting words in his mouth). The only reason .edu's are looked at is because they're an easy focal point for getting that trust. You know that in most cases a .edu link is going to carry that trust to pass along to you, just by nature of the site owner. That being said, I have a number of backlinks that I value far more than any .edu I've ever recieved. One's actually a PR2 but I'd lose a .edu before I wanted to lose that one.
I don't think anyone is likely to come forward with proof. However I'm sure there's emperical evidence that a .edu or two can really help boost rankings.

Day 1
From Ripoll train station it is a short walk to the start hotel. In the evening (around 1930hrs) a local representative will deliver hire bikes to your hotel and provide a short briefing.
Day 2
Before you depart Ripoll there is time to visit the monastery, the most important Romanesque site in Catalunya - dating back to the days of Wilfred the Hairy, founder of the Catalan nation. Continue by bike by joining the Bici Carril to Olot. The Carril de Carbon is part of a former railway line originally used for the extraction of coal found in the region. Mountains up to 2000 metres give a nice setting along the way. We pass through Sant Joan de Abadesses, another important site from early mediaeval days, where you can stop briefly for a visit to the 9th century monastery with its delightful alabaster windows. In the early afternoon you arrive in Olot, the capital of the Garrotxa region, probably one of the few places in the world that was built in between some volcanoes.
Day 3
Either take a circular route or simply take a day to relax in Olot. The circular route takes you into the extinct, wooded volcanoes of Garrotxa to see the Croscat Volcano and Santa Pau, one of the best of Catalunya's mediaeval villages. If you want to ride a little further you can venture into the Bas valley, south west of Olot, a serene area with rural charm and picturesque villages, and then return to the hotel.
Day 4
Back onto the 'bici carril' where we follow the well-graded former railway tracks through the mountains, almost exclusively downhill until we reach Girona. The capital of the province, the walled town of Girona is another jewel of mediaeval splendour, perched on a hill above the river. The narrow mediaeval streets are fascinating, the magnificent Cathedral is a must and the Arabic baths, Jewish quarter and museums will certainly fill your time. A walk on the top of the medieval city walls offers superb views across the whole town and it's surroundings.
Day 5
In the morning it's back in the saddle for the last day of riding along the Bici Carril, from Girona to Sant Feliu de Guixols. The Bici Carril takes us towards the coast, passing through changing scenery where pine forests start dominating. Once we hit the Mediterranean coast there should be enough time for relaxing by the beach and enjoying a swim in the sea.
Day 6
Today is free to have a day on the beach if you want to relax and enjoy the spectacular coastline, there are many beaches to choose from sandy to rocky. Alternatively, you can enjoy a stunning circular ride along the coast to Tossa del Mar. The road winds its way around the hills, revealing many beautiful beaches and secluded bays. When you reach Tossa del Mar you can visit the Mediaeval Castle and wander through the cobbled narrow streets of the old town. Whatever, you choose to do during the day we recommend taking a stroll into the old town centre of San Feliu in the evening, there is a lovely promenade by the sea and the town has kept much of its charm.
Day 7
You leave the (hired) bikes in the Hotel and catch a public bus (with your luggage) to Barcelona (1½ hours - fare to be paid locally). After checking into the hotel in Barcelona you have the rest of the day to discover this incredible city. Besides Vienna the Catalan capital has probably the richest selection of Art Nouveau buildings in Europe. Together with the fantastic Gothic architecture from the golden mediaeval age in the 13th/14th century this makes Barcelona an unforgettable experience. Amongst the 'not to be missed' are Antonio Gaudí's Sagrada Familia, his Casa Mila and Park Güell, Las Ramblas, the Cathedral, the Picasso Museum and the Barrio Gütico. The sheer number of highlights may be overwhelming for just one day. So why not enjoy the buzz of this marvellous city by having a long 'café con leche' in one of the hundreds of terrace cafés.
Day 8
End Barcelona.

I've always been fond of continuity with album titles. With the possible exception of Led Zeppelin, such can tell you a lot about the artist and what they want their music to express. Alex Ebert and nine Los Angeles musicians arrived as Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros in 2007. Two years removed from their serendipitous formation, the collective released their crowd-pleasing debut. It was an ascension that radiated positivity and focused on simple pleasures. Now that the band has surfaced, there's Here, and after the throat clearing that was Up From Below, Sharpe and the Zeros believe their time is now.
Here is roomier; these songs are deep exhales. Ruminative but never ponderous, every member seems dedicated to their craft here. However, it's debatable exactly what craft that is. So many voices and styles clash, and there's no real glue holding it all together. Several of the songs are quite strong on their own, but aside from an old school, Deep South back porch ambiance and lyrics steeped in theology, there isn't much linking any of them together. "Man on Fire" smoulders with tinges of bluegrass and rockabilly, with Sharpe channeling his best Johnny Cash. After comes "That's What's Up," a punchy, upbeat number that dares you not to tap your toes. The merits of both are obvious enough, but as a one-two intro to the record, it sends a mixed message.
The themes of religion and faith are explored frequently. With a refrain of "I love my god/ God made love," "I Don't Wanna Pray" sighs piously, with several of the Zeros pitch in vocal duties. "Dear Believer" flirts with the contrived lyrically, but the strength of its melody and Ebert's heartfelt performance go a long way to redeeming it. Ebert sounds his politest on "All Wash Out," a minimal arrangement of finger-plucked guitar, soft piano, snapping fingers and a crescendo of horns that endow the track with a genuine tenderness.
One of the album's strongest tunes is also one of its most understated. With its faint instrumentation, "Child" relies on the power on storytelling and melody. So does "One Love to Another," which, despite being an ensemble piece, feels as intimate as anything on the record. Blessed with an old-fashioned FM radio charm, Here is a worthy follow-up.

More over reaction by the authorities, same as in Alamo for a 1 1/2" gas line leak. I would bet with regard to the Bay Bridge it an empty box or box of white flower...
One thing you can be sure of it tells the bad guys how to shut the bay bridge system...
Wake up people...take your tail out from under your legs..
Thanks for listening...Julia Pardini from Alamo

Mascotte couldn't resist: It just had to jump into the boat with two other south Lake cities whose police departments are in turmoil.
The question of whether white officers are the targets of discrimination by a new Hispanic police chief started more than a year ago in Mascotte, but it ramped up with the recent filing of federal lawsuits against the city.
Clermont, Lake's largest city, is still trying to sort out a lawsuit from a former officer and adjust to a new chief, and Groveland, also with a new chief, is facing a union movement. Those controversies will be going on for a while.
Neither is as intriguing as the claims filed by former Lt. Gregg Woodworth, a 15-year veteran officer with Leesburg before he came to Mascotte in 2009; and Officer Scott Thompson, a young man seeking a second chance after being dismissed from a South Florida agency.
Each is seeking more than $75,000 from the little city, which is struggling to stay afloat financially.
Mascotte City Manager Jim Gleason said the city hasn't yet been served with the lawsuits.
But, he said, "The city maintains that none of the officers were terminated based on workplace discrimination, harassment or retaliation, and the city has not violated any person's civil rights under federal and state law."
Police Chief Ronaldo Banasco, asked last year about the reverse-discrimination accusation, said the charges were "absolutely false."
However, Woodworth's lawsuit says the city violated his civil rights by discriminating against him because he is white and disabled. It alleges that Banasco openly stated he intended to "flex his Hispanic muscle and pave the way for Hispanics and make room for Hispanic officers" in the department with about a dozen sworn employees.
Then, the suit says, Banasco became hyper-critical of Woodworth, screamed at him, took away his vehicle, lowered his performance appraisals and put him under tight scrutiny. No Hispanic officers were treated that way, the suit claims.
One count of the lawsuit accuses Banasco of defamation for bad-mouthing Woodworth to other officers in the department. The ordeal caused Woodworth to suffer insomnia, acid reflux, vomiting, anxiety attacks, hair loss, diarrhea, chest pain, headaches and depression.
Woodworth complained to city officials, who did nothing to stop the harassment, the suit states. Rather, they retaliated by firing him in May 2012.
Thompson's claims are similar — he says Banasco went after him for "non-incidents and falsities." He was reprimanded for petty violations that went unnoticed in other officers.
The suit claims that Banasco ordered Thompson to make false complaints about Woodworth and that the city finally fired him in February 2012. The city ripped him off for 300 hours of vacation and sick time he earned, the suit says.
Time to take a breath.
Certainly Mascotte is to be commended for pushing to hire Hispanic officers and a Hispanic chief to relate to Hispanic residents. When it dismissed four white officers last year, the city replaced them with two Hispanics, one black and a white officer.
Still, it's not OK to run any competent officer out of a job. It's bad for the department and worse for the people who turn to the police to keep the peace and set the tone of the community.
The truth is that Mascotte should be having an open discussion about abolishing its police department. Mascotte is the Lake city hardest-hit by the economic downturn, and its property tax rate is the highest in the county.
The question should be whether a tiny police department that can't afford to hire officers with the best skills is in the long-term best interest of the city.
These two lawsuits should be a wake-up call for elected officials.
The city needs to make a change.

Editor's Note: The author is a Syrian citizen living in Damascus and is not being further identified for safety concerns.
In Damascus, you can smell the scent of gunpowder that wafts in from shelling on the outskirts of the capital. You hear fighter jets buzzing above. Ambulance sirens wail throughout the day, and death notices are regularly plastered on city walls.
Damascus is not under direct bombardment, like many other places in Syria that have been ravaged by an uprising now two years old. But the war is creeping closer, and residents feel the heat.

Domenica Ruta is the author of With or Without You.
I worked as a bookstore cashier for six weeks, until the day my manager rebuked me for reading. The store was empty and I was standing behind the register when she ripped a paperback out of my hands.
"You look like you have nothing to do."
"I was reading," I said, the only sensible response to such a ludicrous indictment. I was actually hoping a customer would come in so I could hold forth on the very book she'd pried away from me.

What's your first memory? You're a baby or a toddler. Maybe it's a specific experience, maybe an impression. Maybe someone's face, or just a kind of feeling or sense. Or maybe it's a compilation of stories over years. And maybe it's less true than you think it is.
In his new book, Pieces of Light, Charles Fernyhough digs deep into the recesses of memory to figure out what shapes it, how it works and why some things stick with us forever. Fernyhough talks with NPR's Rachel Martin about his own first memory and his exploration of the science of remembering.
A Tale for the Time Being presents the diary of a friendly, funny and strong-willed 16-year-old girl named Nao. Nao spent her formative years in California, but her family has returned to Japan, and when the book begins, she's living in Tokyo.
Nao tells readers right up front that her diary will be a log of her last few days on Earth: She plans to take her own life, and as the story goes on, readers learn why.

St. Patrick's Day in New York now means parades and green beer. But 50 years ago, it also meant green matzo balls at the annual banquet of the Loyal League of Yiddish Sons of Erin. The league was a fraternal organization of Irish-born Jews.
The major migration of Jews to Ireland started in the 1880s and '90s, says Hasia Diner, who teaches history and Judaic studies at New York University. Thousands moved, primarily from Lithuania.
Diner says the first generation of Irish Jews mostly worked as peddlers. But by the 20th century, peddlers became business owners.

Influence of DPH on the Structure and Dynamics of a DPPC Bilayer Biophysical Journal, Volume 88, Issue 5, 1 May 2005, Pages 3398-3410 Jarmila Repáková, Juha M. Holopainen, Michael R. Morrow, Mark C. McDonald, Pavla Čapková and Ilpo Vattulainen Abstract We have conducted extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations together with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments to quantify the influence of free 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) fluorescent probes on the structure and dynamics of a dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine bilayer. Atomistic MD simulations show that in the membrane-water interface the influence of DPH is minor, whereas in the acyl-chain region DPH gives rise to major perturbations. In the latter case, DPH is found to influence a wide range of membrane properties, such as the packing and ordering of hydrocarbon tails and the lateral diffusion of lipid molecules. The effects are prominent but of local nature, i.e., the changes observed in the properties of lipid molecules are significant in the vicinity of DPH, but reduce rapidly as the distance from the probe increases. Long-range perturbations due to DPH are hence not expected. Detailed DSC and 2H NMR measurements support this view. DSC shows only subtle perturbation to the cooperative behavior of the membrane system in the presence of DPH, and 2H NMR shows that DPH gives rise to a slight increase in the lipid chain order, in agreement with MD simulations. Potential effects of other probes such as pyrene are briefly discussed. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (264 kb) |
Time-Resolved Fluorescence and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopic Investigations of Lateral Packing Defects and Superlattice Domains in Compositionally Uniform Cholesterol/Phosphatidylcholine Bilayers Biophysical Journal, Volume 84, Issue 6, 1 June 2003, Pages 3777-3791 Brian Cannon, Garrett Heath, Juyang Huang, Pentti Somerharju, Jorma A. Virtanen and Kwan Hon Cheng Abstract Time-resolved fluorescence and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies were used to investigate the lateral organization of lipids in compositionally uniform and fully equilibrated 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol (POPC/CHOL) liposomes prepared by a recently devised low-temperature trapping method. Independent fluorescence decay lifetime and rotational dynamics parameters of diphenylhexatriene (DPH) chain-labeled phosphatidylcholine (DPH-PC) in these liposomes were recovered from the time-resolved fluorescence measurements as a function of cholesterol molar fraction (XCHOL) at 23°C. The results indicate significantly greater lifetime heterogeneity, shorter average lifetime, rotational correlation time, and lower order parameter of the DPH moiety at XCHOL ≈ 0.40 and 0.50 as compared to the adjacent cholesterol concentrations. Less prominent changes were also detected at, for example, XCHOL ≈ 0.20 and 0.33. These XCHOL's coincide with the "critical" XCHOL's predicted by the previously proposed superlattice (SL) model, thus indicating that POPC and cholesterol molecules tend to form SL domains where the components tend to be regularly distributed. The data also support another prediction of the SL model, namely that lateral packing defects coexist with the ordered SL domains. It appears that unfavorable interaction of the DPH-moiety of DPH-PC with cholesterol results in a preferential partition of DPH-PC to the defect regions. Fourier transform infrared analysis of the native lipid O=P=O, C=O, and C-H vibrational bands of POPC/CHOL liposomes in the absence of DPH-PC revealed an increase in the conformational order of the acyl chains and a decrease in the conformational order (or increased hydration) of the interfacial and headgroup regions at or close to the predicted critical XCHOL's. This provides additional but probe-independent evidence for SL domain formations in the POPC/CHOL bilayers. We propose that the defect regions surrounding the putative SL domains could play an important role in modulating the activity of various membrane-associated enzymes, e.g., those regulating the lipid compositions of cell membranes.

Properties of Palmitoyl Phosphatidylcholine, Sphingomyelin, and Dihydrosphingomyelin Bilayer Membranes as Reported by Different Fluorescent Reporter Molecules Biophysical Journal, Volume 84, Issue 2, 1 February 2003, Pages 987-997 Thomas Nyholm, Matts Nylund, Annu Söderholm and J. Peter Slotte Abstract The properties of vesicle membranes prepared from 16:0-SM, 16:0-DHSM, or DPPC were characterized using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and different fluorescent reporter molecules. The acyl-chain region was probed using free and phospholipid-bound 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene. 16:0-DHSM was found to be the more ordered than both DPPC and 16:0-SM 5°C below and above melting temperature. Interfacial properties of the phospholipid bilayers were examined using 6-dodecanoyl-2-dimethyl-aminonaphthalene (Laurdan), 6-propionyl-2-dimethyl-amino-naphthalene (Prodan), and dansyl-PE. Laurdan and Prodan reported that the two sphingomyelin (SM) membrane interfaces were clearly different from the DPPC membrane interface, whereas the two SM membrane interfaces had more similar properties (both in gel and liquid-crystalline phase). Prodan partition studies showed that membrane resistance to Prodan partitioning increased in the order: 16:0-SM<DPPC<16:0-DHSM. The degree to which dansyl-PE is exposed to water reflects the structural properties of the membrane-water interface. By comparing the lifetime of dansyl-PE in water and deuterium oxide solution, we could show that the degree to which the dansyl moiety was exposed to water in the membranes increased in the order: 16:0-SM<DPPC<16:0-DHSM. In conclusion, this study has shown that DHSM forms more ordered bilayers than acyl-chain matched SM or phosphatidylcholine, even in the liquid-crystalline state.

Research Article
B.R. Lentz and S.W. Burgess
Department of Biochemistry, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 27599–7260.
We have investigated the reason for the sensitivity of the fluorescence excited-state lifetime of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) and its phospholipid derivatives, 1-palmitoyl-2-[2-[4-(6-phenyl-trans-1,3,5- hexatrienyl)phenyl]ethyl)carbonyl)-3-sn-phosphatidylcholine (DPHpPC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-[2-[4-(6-phenyl-trans-1,3,5- hexatrienyl)phenyl]ethyl)carbonyl)-3-sn-phosphatidic acid (DPHpPA), to the concentration of these probes in dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) multilamellar membranes (Barrow, D. A., and B. R. Lentz, 1985. Biophys. J. 48:221–234; Parente, R. A., and B. R. Lentz. 1985. Biochemistry. 24:6178–6185). We have interpreted self-quenching data, excitation and emission spectra, and phase and modulation lifetime data in terms of a model that envisions dimerization of these probes in a membrane bilayer. It is proposed that dimerization alters the symmetry of the DPH excited state so as to allow more rapid decay via the normally symmetry-disallowed route from the 1Ag* state. Global analysis of fluorescence phase shift and modulation ratio data for DPHpPC in terms of the dimerization model provided a good fit of these data as a function of both modulation frequency and probe concentration. Global analysis of a similar set of data for the charged phosphatide DPHpPA predicted that this probe was much less prone to dimerize than was the uncharged DPHpPC. This physically reasonable result provides support for the assumptions made in the development of our model. We conclude that the dimerization model allows rationalization of many of the anomalous photophysical properties of DPH and its derivatives in membranes.

A Designs REDDI Tube Direct BoxWhat do world-class bassists Reggie Hamilton and Justin Meldal-Johnsen have in common with producer/engineers Tony Shepperd, Ted Perlman, and Dylan Dresdow? The answer is using the A-Designs REDDI Tube Direct Box as their go-to DI. The REDDI has been field tested and referred to by recording engineers as the "best tube DI ever made." With wider bandwidth and just the right amount of gain, the REDDI stands clear and clean above the competition. Great for basses, guitars, synths, and electronic instruments that require a direct box for recording, the REDDI is ready to give you sound for recording or live performance that you won't ever want to be without. A Designs Audio REDDI, First Take: All-tube direct box with custom output transformer Based on the Ampeg B-15 with an ultra-wide frequency range New version adds a 1/4" thru jack Field-tested by notable engineers/producers before release All-tube and custom transformers -- the key to big, punchy sound Inside its unmistakable fire-engine red case, the REDDI houses a toroid power transformer, which offers the quietest operation, and a 6N1P tube-driven amplifier that feeds signal direct into a massive custom output transformer. Therein lies the secret to its sound. It's a well-known fact that transformers are responsible for a truly big, punchy sound (also called the "big iron" sound of the '70s). By sending the tube-amplified, harmonically rich signal direct to a transformer that is hand and "ear" built you get a sound like no other. (You don't have to take our word for it, see what the pros are saying below.) Ultra-wide Frequency Range Based on the sound of the legendary Ampeg B15 all-tube bass amp, The REDDI's tone is tight, focused, and deep -- in essence, right in the pocket. It's ultra wide frequency range is another reason for the depth and clarity of the bass, as well as its unique ability to add a sense of dimensionality to whatever instrument is played through it. Another thing that professional bassists have discovered, is that rather than combining the DI sound with an amp, as is customary in bass recording, that sound of the REDDI alone is just perfect. On guitar, keyboards, and other electronic instruments, the REDDI works its particular brand of magic just as effectively as it does on bass. In fact, once you own a REDDI, you'll be tempted to put just about anything you can through it. (In fact, Grammy-winning producer Ted Perlman, has even used the REDDI with a Shure Green Bullet mic to record harmonica!) New version adds a 1/4" thru jack In order to keep the focus of the REDDI on sound quality, A Designs included only the most necessary features. On the original version of the REDDI, A Designs Audio had eliminated the 1/4" thru-put. The reason was because the REDDI sounded so good on its own, A Designs wanted users to realize that they didn't need to combine a miked amp with the direct sound of the REDDI. But A Designs listens to its customers and added a 1/4" thru jack without compromising sound quality. A Designs also refuses to sacrifice sound quality for high gain. As such, the REDDI is not a high-gain device, rather, it has just the right amount to keep its sound intact. The REDDI's front panel features include a combo XLR/1/4-inch input, balanced XLR output, a level control knob, and very bright blue LED power indicator. On the rear panel, there's an on/off power switch, ground lift, and EIN power connector. Field tested by Audio Professionals Taking its place in A Designs Audio's line up of "all tube" high-end microphone pre-amplifiers and equalizers, the REDDI is another example A Designs' mission of making pro audio affordable. As always, A-Designs Audio field tests its products before releasing them to the public with notable engineers and musicians like Dylan Dresdow (TEC Award Nominee and Grammy Award nominee for Black Eyed Peas), Ross Hogarth (Grammy Award winner) Viktor Krauss (bassist for Lyle Lovett and renowned studio musician) and Reggie Hamilton (session/live bassist for Babyface, Seal, Bette Midler, etc.) who recently used the REDDI on his bass tracks for the new film Dreamgirls. Here's what top engineers, producers, and musicians are saying about the REDDI: "The sound of the REDDI all tube direct box on my bass and guitars is dramatic. When people come in and listen, they just go "WOW what's that? What did you do to get that sound?" "It not only delivers on bass and keys, but just out and out kills on acoustic guitars with pickups. It puts something on the sound that makes them jump and be present in the mix without that electric-type sound." -- Ted Perlman, Grammy Award-winning producer, engineer, musician (Bob Dylan, Chicago, Elton John, Burt Bacharach). "Now, the REDDI is my favorite DI and definitely my go-to on bass." -- Dylan Dresdow (Black Eyed Peas), Grammy Award nominee, Tech Award nominee, engineer. "The REDDI is not only the largest and brightest colored DI that I've encountered, it's the best sounding." -- Russ Long, Pro Audio Review, 11/1/2005. "The New REDDI DI from A Designs kicks ass..." -- Ross Hogarth, Grammy Award winning producer, engineer, mixer. "I didn't use an amp at all. I used only the REDDI and it sounded really, really nice." -- Justin Meldan-Johnsen, Bassist with Beck. "If it needs to be really clean, then I'll just use the REDDI." -- Viktor Krauss, bassist for Lyle Lovett. "I've used a number of DIs on electric pianos over the years, active, passive, tube, solid state, whatever was around. But, I don't remember that any of them worked as well or sounded as good as the REDDI." -- Dave Martin, Recording Magazine "REDDI's first outing was on an active bass. The bass player's head turned as soon as he heard his instrument in the phones. It was an instant hit both in and out of the control room." -- Kevin Becka, Mix Magazine The REDDI is only the second product I've had in for review [this year] that I sent back and then realized how much I missed it when it was gone." -- Dan Richards, Studio Review "The best way I can describe what REDDI adds is dimension. It reveals a wide range of harmonics in a source, with an excellent translation of an instrument's character. It doesn't have to be blended with an amp signal to sound good. I tried it with electric guitar and bass as well as a synthesizer, and found the REDDI to perform impressively on every source." -- Frank Moldstad, Digital Pro Sound Channel Strips of the Stars: Ted Perlman Ted Perlman, renowned Grammy-winning producer, musician, arranger, engineer, and programmer, has a resume that reads like a who's who of popular music. His credits include Bob Dylan, Chicago, Burt Bacharach, Elton John, Dave Mason, Brian Wilson, Carole King, Albert Hammond, Jr. (The Strokes), Desmond Child, Young M.C., Dolly Parton, and, well, the list goes on. Ted was kind enough to provide us with his go-to signal chain for guitar and percussion. Here it is, straight from Ted Perlman himself: "I'm producing and writing with Sara Lumholdt of the mega-selling Swedish pop group A-Teens. ALL guitars go through the A Designs REDDI DI box > Hammer EQ (#180185) > Pacifica preamp (#189903) > Toft DC-2 Compressor (#187025)."

this bitter earth; what fruit it bears.
what good is love, that no one shares?
and if my life is like the dust that hides the glow of a rose,
what good am I? heaven only knows.this bitter earth; can it be so cold?
today you're young, too soon you're old-
but, while a voice within me cries,
I'm sure someone may answer my call;
and this bitter earth may not be so bitter after all.
