Olympic National Park At 75: A Planetary Legacy
Seventy-five years ago, in June, 1938, Congress passed and President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed into law the bill creating Olympic National Park. With this act Americans embarked on something new in land conservation: creating a wilderness preserve large enough to protect intact old-growth forest communities and the hosts of forest-dependent wildlife they contained.
Facts And Figures On National Monuments In And Out Of The National Park System
With President Obama's recent designation of five new national monuments, there now are 77 national monuments within the National Park System. Curious about the history of national monuments? Read on.
Frank Jay Haynes, A Photography Pioneer In Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone National Park was a wild and remote place in the late 1800s, and in winter it beckoned only the heartiest, most adventurous souls. Renowned photographer Frank Jay Haynes was certainly one of those adventuresome explorers.
Historic Preservation In The National Park System And The 1916 National Park Service Act, Part II
In the second part of this series Richard West Sellars, a long-time historian for the National Park Service, takes a look back at what precipitated the historic preservation movement in the National Park System.
Historic Preservation In The National Park System And The 1916 National Park Service Act, Part I
It took a natural resource issue of epic proportions—the proposal to dam Yosemite National Park's magnificent Hetch Hetchy Valley—to spark what would become a prolonged campaign to establish a central federal office to administer the national parks.
Washington's Headquarters at Morristown National Historical Park Reopens
Once again you can see where General George Washington was headquartered during the harsh winter of 1779-1780 as he plotted the colonies' rebellion against England. After being closed since last October, the Ford Mansion at Morristown National Historical Park is open for tours.
Rainbow Bridge National Monument Turns 100 on Sunday
Though Native Americans have been gathering at Rainbow Bridge for at least 10,000 years, it's only been a century since the stone bridge along the Utah-Arizona border has been recognized as a national monument.
The Way We Used To Describe And Enjoy National Parks
The written word is a marvelous thing, so much more so when it's used to describe a place. In the early part of the 21st century, those employed by the Government Printing Office had a stylish way to describe national parks. Perhaps not as eloquent as some of today's finer writers, but stylish just the same.
Researchers Exploring Cave Dwellers From Bandelier National Monument's Long Ago Past
The American Southwest is honeycombed with ruins from long-past civilizations. Mesa Verde National Park and Canyon de Chelly National Monument are well-known for their cliff dwellings, while at Bandelier National Monument the sandstone walls are pocked with "cavates" used as shelter centuries ago.
Next Time You're In Washington, Stop By the Old Stone House
Nestled in along M Street, in the heart of Georgetown, you'll stumble upon The Old Stone House, one of the oldest homes remaining in Washington, DC. Built in 1765, the house is maintained and operated by the National Park Service, and is part of the National Park System's Rock Creek Park unit.
Rockfalls In Yosemite National Park Are Part of Life
My first visit to Yosemite National Park back in June 1999 coincided with a rockfall that forced me out of a tent cabin in Curry Village and into one in Tuolumne Meadows. Ever since, I've been intrigued by rockfalls in the park's iconic valley. While the frequency of rockfalls in recent years might be alarming to park visitors, they are calling cards evidencing the active geology that's ongoing in Yosemite.
The Bridges of Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island
One of the glories of Acadia National Park are the carriage paths that wend their way through the forests of Mount Desert Island. And one of the wonders of those paths are the bridges that you pass under, and cross over, while exploring the paths on foot, carriage, or bike.
Decades in the Making, the Uproar Over Great Smoky Mountains National Park's North Shore Road Almost Settled
In Great Smoky Mountains National Park, every trail has a history. That's what makes hiking here so fascinating. But no trail is as historic or as controversial as the Lake Shore Trail, which skirts Fontana Lake in North Carolina. The issue surrounding it is currently the longest-running open item on the park's agenda, but there's hope it will be resolved soon.
Kalaupapa National Historical Park Honored By Sainthood Bestowed On Father Damien
Sainthood recently bestowed on a 19th century Catholic priest who cared for Hawaiians afflicted with leprosy was celebrated at Kalaupapa National Historical Park, which tells the stories of those who were isolated on the northern shores of Molokai.
John Muir Buffs, Here's The Mother Lode
John Muir long has been closely associated with nature and the national parks, and rightly so. If you admire him and his writings, let us point you to a site where you can peruse thousands of his letters, sketches, photos and journals.
Pancho Villa, the Army Air Corps and Big Bend National Park
Every NPS area, even if it wasn't created specifically to commemorate a historical event, includes some interesting tales from the past. At Big Bend National Park, one of those stories involves Pancho Villa and the Army Air Corps.
True Tales From the National Parks: Get Me Off Devils Tower!
In the fall of 1941 the Tower made the headlines of the nation's leading newspapers. This was brought about through the fool-hardy stunt of a professional parachutist named George Hopkins. Without the consent or knowledge of National Park Service officials, Hopkins, who held a number of United States and world's records for spectacular jumps, on October 1 parachuted from an airplane to the top of the Tower.
Each Generation Seems To Stamp Its Imprint on the National Parks
For those who see the national parks as being preserved time immemorial under gigantic bell jars, there is evidence that each succeeding generation makes an imprint or two on the parks. It wasn't too terribly long ago, for instance, that you climbed into the bleachers to watch the bear buffets in Yellowstone National Park, or that the El Tovar Hotel at the Grand Canyon National Park had separate dining areas for men and women.
New Video Commemorates USS Arizona And Those Who Died At Pearl Harbor
It's been nearly 67 years since the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, yet it still is sharp in many Americans' minds. Spanning nearly all of the Pacific Ocean, World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument preserves and interprets the stories and key events in the Pacific Theater during World War II. A new video sheds some light on the history of those who went down with the USS Arizona.

Anniversary of Landmark Environmental Law Case at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument
Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument recently celebrated the 40th anniversary of two related events: the establishment of the park and a landmark court case that helped lay the foundation for modern environmental law.
"Bad Times" Aren't Always All Bad – These Two Ideas for "Improving the Parks" Fizzled
In the early 1900s, there were plenty of ideas for ways the new agency called the National Park Service could "improve" the parks. Here are a couple whose time never came, perhaps in part due to the "bad times" during World War I and the Great Depression.
The Park Under the Bridge
Over 39 million vehicles a year travel across a famous bridge—and pass over an NPS historic site, both literally and figuratively. The park under the bridge is often overlooked by locals and tourists alike, but it offers both interesting history and a fine scenic view.
New Virtual Exhibit on Siege of Vicksburg is a Treat for History Buffs and Teachers
Abraham Lincoln said, "Vicksburg is the key. The war can never be brought to a close until that key is in our pocket." A new virtual exhibit on the siege of Vicksburg is now available on-line for the enjoyment of history buffs, and its also a useful tool for teachers.
Zuni-Cibola National Historical Park, the Park that Died A-Borning
Congress authorized a Zuni-Cibola National Historical Park several decades ago, but no such NPS unit ever materialized. The people of Zuni Pueblo didn't like the idea.
Recalling the Wonderland Hotel in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Demolition by Neglect?
Once a popular stopping spot in the Great Smoky Mountains, the Wonderland Hotel no longer exists. This video explains some of the hotel's history.
The National Park to Park Highway
In the early 1900s, some national parks existed, but getting to them was problematic. Then was born the idea to develop a "National Park-to-Park Highway," one that would run through 11 states and connect 13 national parks.
Glacier National Park Was Popular With Boaters Even Back in the 1920s
Despite it's name, Glacier National Park is a pretty great place for boating and fishing. And, as this vintage film clearly shows, that's been true for a long time.

If you're talking about just a "singer", Sam Cooke.
If you're talking about a musician, the one I would have given the most to see where his talent would have taken him was Buddy Holly. By far...
"In baseball, you don't know nothin'"...Yogi Berra
Danny Whitten from Neil Young's Crazy Horse
redsfandan (06-14-2013)
I'm going with none of the above. The beauty of these musicians' premature deaths is that they didn't live long enough to tarnish their own legacy.
Duane Allman
When all is said and done more is said than done.
I'll venture that already happened
1. Kurt Cobain - Not impressed with the hooks from their last CD
2. Freddy Mercury - Got too campy, too british, not enough rocking as the Sheer Heart Attack years
3. Jimmy Hendrix - Maybe the sleeper, while he was always a great player his song writing was just starting to blossom
4. Jim Morrison - Listen to American Prayer to remind yourself what a poor poet Jim could be
5. John Lennon - Anyone who lets Yoko take up tracks on their records is stealing money from the consumer
I read a book of Morrison's poems once and had trouble taking The Doors seriously afterward. They were as pretentious as stuff I wrote as a college sophomore.
I wonder about Lennon, though. I wonder what direction he would have gone.
I think Sam Cooke would have ended up going pretty political. Buddy Holly would have been interesting.
Edge trilogy, by me.
What begins at the water shall end there, and what ends there shall once more begin. --Straka
redsfandan (06-14-2013)
1. Are we supposed to judge Cobain from his last efforts, or from what he originally created? (teen spirit, something in the way, heart shaped box, rape me, etc)
2. He was always campy though. That was his shtick. He was a Broadway esque rocker from the beginning
4. He was a poor poet perhaps, but his music was still great.
5. john lennon is still john lennon though and his potential was boundless.

Nubian Heritage Hand Cream Raw Shea Butter -- 4 fl oz
Ok, the reason this gets only 3 stars is because it is slightly filmy feeling on the skin and also I am not a fan of the scent. I've always liked herbal scents, but this frankincense and myrrh smells too much like men's cologne to me. It's just a bit too strong and rubs me the wrong way.
June 10, 2012
We love the frankincense and myrrh scent of this non greasy hand cream.
April 11, 2012
this may be an ok product but I could not get past the scent, I actually had to wash it off, it was too strong and I did not find it to smell nice. not sure of its effectiveness since I could not keep it on hands.
January 29, 2012
good stuff
I love this lotion. Bought it for my adult children for a stocking stuffer and they love it too!!
January 9, 2012
Excellent Hand Cream
Light and fresh scent. Not heavy and greasy. Good size for the money. Excellent moisturizing. Just love it.

text: Soda – yes, even diet soda – is notoriously bad for you. High in calories, sugar and high fructose corn syrup, it can contribute to weight gain, diabetes and other health problems. Satisfy your cravings while staying healthyInstead, consider making your own soda at home with naturally flavored syrups and seltzer to satisfy those soda cravings in a healthier manner. Step 1: Carbonate itThe first step to making soda begins with seltzer. The easiest option is to buy seltzer, but diehard consumers of fizzy beverages may want to consider investing in a carbonation system. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from a restaurant-style soda gun to the more common seltzer maker, which is powered by a CO2 cartridge. Step 2: Flavor itNext, decide what kind of flavor you'd like. Do you want a traditional cola beverage or a more natural hibiscus cooler? Many companies sell "soda" mixes that can be added to seltzer to make your own soda. Alternately, you can make a simple syrup to make an organic, naturally flavored soda. Try making a ginger simple syrup (simmer chopped fresh ginger with water and sugar) to make your own ginger ale. Try these flavored simple syrups >>Step 3: Mix itOnce you've picked out a syrup flavor, it's time to mix it with the seltzer to create your own soda. Add a few teaspoons at first, then stir and taste. (Whatever you do, don't shake it up!) Continue adding a bit at a time until the flavor is as concentrated as you would like (this will vary depending on what your flavoring is). Step 4: Seal itIf you don't want to drink all your soda right away, you'll need to transfer it to a bottle with a tight closure. This will help prevent the carbonation from escaping and will keep it nice and fizzy for at least a day. Check out this recipe for homemade soda syrup >>Step 5: Enjoy itFinally, it's time to savor your homemade soda! The honest truth is that it may not taste exactly like the commercially available varieties, but homemade sodas are delicious nonetheless. And you can rest easy knowing exactly where all the ingredients came from! Watch: How to make homemade frozen yogurtLearn how to make frozen yogurt at home without an ice cream maker.

Players receive the best treatment possible at the arena
HELSINKI Its the one room in the arena no player wants to see, and its the one room every player is only too happy to see when the need is there. Its the medical office at Hartwall Arena, and it features an impressive array of equipment and services.
Overseen by Dr. Markku Tuominen, the medical facilities available to injured players are comprehensive and impressive and a comfort to all just knowing the various gadgets and machines are on site if required.
Leading the way is the brand-spanking new CT scan, a small but remarkable piece of equipment no professional hockey venue should do without. The CT scan is for extremities, explained Dr. Tuominen, so if you need to have a picture of a hand or ankle, we can do it here in five minutes. It gives a 360-degree image, so we know very quickly when a player is injured or not. It helps the team a great deal because they get the results immediately and can determine if the player can continue. Its better than an x-ray machine.
Of course, one of the main features of any medical room is the dentists chair, and Hartwall has a state-of-the-art version in this room.
We have a complete dental unit for players, and if they require more we have a dental unit in town which can do everything as well. It is one of the most frequently used of our services, for sure. Well have between five and ten issues during the tournament.
In addition, the more general First Aid room is frequented by players for cuts and bruises. The First Aid room is where we can put stitches in, continued the good doctor. This is the most common injury in hockey that needs medical attention, no doubt. It depends on the game, of course, but its the lacerations that are most common. But theyre not so serious. A player can usually continue to play after.
One thing the casual fan might not know is that when a player gets stitched immediately, the area is not frozen. We dont have to freeze around the cut because there is not much feeling there right away. The area is pain free because they dont feel anything. If they wait half an hour or so, then we have to freeze it.
Typically a player would come to the medial room, located near the Zamboni entrance, after any injury for assessment. Although Dr. Tuominen is reluctant to reveal personal player information, it is likely that Kazakh forward Roman Starchenko came to the First Aid room after being concussed during the game against France and before being sent to the hospital for further examination.
The team physician is always the first person to go on ice, Dr. Tuominen elaborated, but if he needs help, the ambulance staff will come out. As well, we [the IIHF] have a standby physician. We have a surgeon here as well as well as all of the specialists we could possibly need.
The staff work long hours during a tournament, what with two or three games a day in addition to the many practices. We work here during all of the games and practices, but its the team physicians who are responsible for the players at first. Only in emergency situations do we take care of the players. Were here for the players, and we have all the connections to local hospitals, to MRI machines, to having blood tests at a local laboratory. Weve done that once already. We had a nurse draw blood and send the sample out for analysis.
The office also contains one of the five defibrillators located throughout the arena. Others are between the players benches and with the ambulance staff, and as Dr. Tuominen says without any humour, I also take one to Congress.
An adjunct responsibility of Dr. Tuominen, of course, is drug testing. He is responsible for the facilities of the doping control, he pointed out. We have doping escorts and doping officers, but I supervise everything there to make sure the proper guidelines are followed and organized correctly.
There are various and sundry other elements to the room which players need more than they care to admit. One table is replete with knee braces of every size and shape, and a medicine cabinet contains everything from cortisone to Aspirin. The medical table also has beside it a Cryolight which shines a cold beam of light on an injured area (a bruised thigh, say) to speed up the healing process.
And in hockey, thats what its all about getting back on the ice with the greatest speed.
The medical room may be unwanted by healthy players, but those in need take great comfort in knowing the best help is close by.

Born on January 1, 1969, in Sturgis, Michigan, actor Verne Troyer started out as a stunt man. He first worked on the 1994 film Baby's Day Out, later appearing in Dunston Checks In (1996) and Mighty Joe Young (1998). In 1999, Troyer became famous for playing Mini-Me in the comedy Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me,
"There were a lot of times I'd hide in my locker and jump out and surprise people."
[On dealing with his dwarfism in his youth.]
starring Mike Myers. He reprised the role for the 2002 film Austin Powers in Goldmember. Troyer appeared on the reality series The Surreal Life in 2003 and competed on Celebrity Big Brother in 2009.
Early Life
Verne J. Troyer was born on January 1, 1969, in Sturgis, Michigan, and grew up in the small town of Centreville. He is one of three children born to Susan and Reuben Troyer. Verne Troyer was only a baby when he was diagnosed with dwarfism. Rather than be discouraged by his smaller stature, Troyer used it to his advantage during his school years. "There were a lot of times I'd hide in my locker and jump out and surprise people," he later told People magazine.
After graduating from high school in 1987, Troyer eventually discovered performing. He landed his first film job in 1993, working as a stunt double for a baby in Baby's Day Out (1994), starring Joe Pantoliano, Lara Flynn Boyle and Joe Mantegna. Troyer continued to do more stunt work over the next few years, often appearing in costume as animals. In Dunston Checks In (1996), he played an orangutan; in Mighty Joe Young (1998), he appeared as a baby gorilla.
Acting Career
With 1999's Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, Troyer quickly went from stunt man to movie star. Audiences loved his character, Mini-Me, the evil sidekick to the fiendish criminal mastermind Dr. Evil. (Mike Myers plays several roles in the film, including the title character and Dr. Evil.) Mini-Me proved to be so popular that dolls were made with Troyer's likeness—a true sign of pop-culture status.
His success with Austin Powers opened new doors for Troyer, who went on to land parts in such films as How the Grinch Stole Christmas, starring Jim Carrey, and Bubble Boy, starring Jake Gyllenhaal. He also appeared as Griphook the Goblin in the blockbuster hit Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001).
In 2002, Troyer reprised his role as Mini-Me for Austin Powers in Goldmember, the third installment of the popular spy proof series. He also landed a number of guest appearances on television, appearing on such shows as the teen comedy Sabrina, the Teenage Witch and the educational drama Boston Public. Additionally, the actor became a reality-show personality, allowing cameras to film him living in a house with other celebrities on The Surreal Life.
While he continued to work over the next few years, Troyer was unable to recapture his earlier success on the big screen. He appeared in the commercial and critical flop Postal in 2007, and even reteaming with Mike Myers for The Love Guru (2008) proved to be disappointing. Troyer went on to work on Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009), which became a troubled project after star Heath Ledger died before filming was completed.

I have amended all the orders to reflect the choices of center plates finish. You can look at page 1 of this thread to view your order.
As for landing skids, I am submitting a design to the CNC factory this week and I will include them with the orders, except adrenahelin's order because that one is shipping this week, but I will be sending him a set for free at a later date. The skids will also be available for cheap for those who already own an Armattan quad. The kids are designed the same way as the one posted by TEKK but they will have refined curves and perforations to cut down weight. They bend easily but they take a second to bend back. That's how they are designed in order to minimize damage to the actual arms. I like them a lot. Much better than the standoffs, and good looking, too. I am going to the CNC factory today and I'll be able to inform everyone on turn around time for your orders soon. Frames and DIY kits won't take very long. The RXR ones I have to take the time to build them. Best, Chris |

I'll definitely start at or below 40%. I don't want to blast this around until I get to know it. I am sufficiently afraid and awestruck by what I've seen so far and intimidated by the skill of the pilots from the videos I've seen. I'm going over my head but at least there are tons of amazing people (like yourself) helping n00bs like me out. THANKS!!! |

How about I put this kit in a box and ship it to you next Tuesday? Would that work for you? Payment pending, of course. Confirm if you're interested.
Good news guys, I was at the factory today and all the CNC parts will be ready Friday. I have the motors, escs and kk2s already and everything else in stock. So looks like all the frames and DIY kits are shipping next Tuesday. I should have time to assemble a good few rxr quads, too. Best, Chris |

text: The technologically closed process chain of the Institute within the area of fiber reinforced composites is the basis for the research and development of new design methods for high lift devices. However the unique selling proposition of the research range became from the conversion of the authority to thermoplastic and thermo set materials, the advancement of the processing and joining techniques and the know-how of high velocity impact behavior of CFRP structures in prototypes and in original scales. The innovation in the design method is based essentially on the load-specific local combination of homogeneous and fiber reinforced thermoplastics and the optimization of the FOD- and/or bird strike behavior of the component by the stacking special plies into the material. Numeric tools and methods, which are developed and verified in the Institute, are of crucial importance. New developed, material-specific joining techniques lead to reduction of working procedures. An aim is it to reduce the production costs to a minimum. Most prominent examples of the new design method compiled at the Institute are a vertical stabilizer for a generic combat aircraft and a section of a slat made out of fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite.

After going 0-3 to start the 2012-13 basketball campaign, Delta's Lady Panthers got a great start to their 4A WSL race with a 74-42 win over the visiting Eagle Valley Devils on Thursday, Dec. 20.
Eagle Valley put a bit of a scare into the slow-starting Delta squad with a 5-0 start in the first period.
Lauren Thorpe hit four field goals and a freethrow to pace the Lady Devils in a 17-13 Delta lead after eight minutes of play. Skylyn Webb posted six points for the Lady Panthers and Shelby Curtis had four to lead Delta's offense.
Eagle Valley stayed close in the second quarter with Megan Asmussen scoring six points to help keep the Lady Devils close. Webb hit a three and was five of six at the freethrow line to pace Delta's offense in a 20-14 advantage that meant a 37-27 halftime lead for Delta.
The second half was all Delta as the Lady Panthers came out shooting in the third quarter and built a 58-34 lead going to the final stanza. Callie Gafford had a great third quarter as the tough senior hammered home five field goals and a freethrow to score 11 of Delta's 21 points in the period. The Lady Devils were held to just seven counters in the same time span.
Delta doubled Eagle Valley's point production in the final quarter (16-8) to win going away, 74-42.
Webb finished the game with 22 points to lead all scorers in the game while Gafford collected 21 markers for the winners. Brooke Taylor and Shelby Curtis chipped in eight points each and Patti Chapman had seven.
Delta was entered in the annual First Colorado National Bank tournament on Friday and Saturday. Unfortunately, due to an early print deadline the results of games played in the two-day tournament were not available for today's paper. The results from these games will appear in the next issue of The Delta County Independent.

BEAM ME UP, YO!: Quantum Teleportation
Note: Full-res shot of the WTF am I looking at HERE.
Teleportation: sometimes I wish it were my superpower. Instead I got blinding handsomeness. That's right -- I kill with a smile. Well technically it's a knife, but I be grinnin', yo, I be grinnin'. So yeah, quantum teleportation: Chinese scientists are doing that shit. God I deserve a Pulitzer.
Scientists in China have succeeded in teleporting information between photons further than ever before. They transported quantum information over a free space distance of 16 km (10 miles), much further than the few hundred meters previously achieved, which brings us closer to transmitting information over long distances without the need for a traditional signal.
And as for that diagram:
a, A birds-eye view of the 16-km free-space quantum teleportation experiment. Charlie sends photon 1 to Alice for BSM. Classical information, including the results of the BSM and the signal for time synchronization, is sent through the free-space channel with photon 2, to Bob, before decoding and triggering of the corresponding unitary transformation. b, Sketch of the experimental system.
Sounds like Charlie, Alice and Bob are having quite the kinky threesome, amirite?! Of course I am. Apparently the technology has huge implications for the future of communications. Also, pizza delivery.
Quantum teleportation achieved over 16 km [physorg]
Thanks to Schmaltz, who once teleported to the grocery store and back but forgot to buy milk. That's why you gotta make a list!

Have Asthma? Vitamin D May Help
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – Supplement your asthma action plan with Vitamin D and you may experience improved asthma control according to an article published this month in Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, the scientific journal of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
"There is a possible cause-and-effect relationship between vitamin D deficiency and uncontrolled asthma," said allergist Manbir Sandhu, MD, lead author and ACAAI member. "Evidence suggests that vitamin D has a number of biologic factors that are important in regulating key mechanisms in asthma."
Authors conducted a review of almost 60 years of literature on vitamin D and asthma. According to the article, vitamin D deficiency is associated with increased airway hyperresponsiveness, lower lung functions, and inferior asthma control. Vitamin D deficiency is more common with obesity, in African American ethnicity and westernization of countries reflecting a higher-risk population for asthma. The authors recommend that long-term interventional trials be conducted in asthma patients.
"Vitamin D can complement your prescribed asthma treatment plan as it has been shown to have some anti-inflammatory properties, but should never be used as an alternative to prescribed medication," said allergist Thomas Casale, M.D., co author and ACAAI Fellow. "Asthma is a serious and sometimes life threatening disease and needs to be treated that way. Always discuss use of supplements with your allergist."
Consumers and patients can take a simple online test to gauge their asthma symptoms and obtain a personalized plan on how to get relief at the Asthma/Allergy Relief Self-Test.
"It's important to know that if you have asthma, you should be able to feel good, be active all day and sleep well at night," said Dr. Casale. "If you're not, make an appointment with your allergist for a 'tune-up' visit."

Current Time 7:14:35pm
Jury recommends life without parole for Canton man
Written by AVC News
Sentencing phase of grisly Muskingum County murder trial nearly at a close
ZANESVILLE, Ohio -- A Canton man will likely spend the rest of his life in prison for his role in the gruesome murder of a woman found beaten and burned on a rural Muskingum County road last year.
After five-and-a-half hours of deliberation on Tuesday, jurors recommended a sentence of life without the possibility of parole for 34-year-old LaFonse Dixon Jr., who was convicted last week on charges of aggravated murder, kidnapping, and aggravated arson in the slaying of 29-year-old Celeste Fronsman. Prosecutors said that on August 26, 2012, Dixon and two women drove Fronsman from Canton to Muskingum County, where they beat her, choked her and set her on fire as punishment for informing on them. She survived for two days after a motorist found her on Rt. 208 near Zanesville, charred over 70 percent of her body.
Before the sentencing recommendation, Dixon spoke for the first time on the matter, maintaining that his co-defendants - Katrina Culberson and Monica Washington - lied about his involvement to avoid the death penalty themselves.
On Nov. 4, Muskingum County Common Pleas Court Judge Kelly Cottrill will decide to either take the jury's recommendation or give Dixon a lesser sentence.

Taxes » Tax Law » Red Flags That Tempt The Tax Auditor
It is the most dreaded letter a taxpayer can receive.
Dear Taxpayer,
Some of the information that you provided to us does not agree with the information we received from other sources.
-- The Internal Revenue Service
You've just joined an elite club, one whose initiation ritual is an IRS audit. Unfortunately, you can't refuse membership -- and the dues could be astronomical.
When the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act was enacted in 1998, lawmakers ordered the agency to focus more on taxpayer rights instead of collection activities. Not surprisingly, the number of audits -- or examinations, as the agency prefers to call them -- dropped dramatically.
The first year of the kinder, gentler IRS, about 1 in 79 tax returns was audited. By 2003, it was even easier for tax scofflaws; that year, according to IRS data, only 1 in 150 individual taxpayers was audited.
But the tax times, they are a-changing.
During the recent recession to pay their bills, the IRS implemented programs designed to take into consideration the financial struggles that many taxpayers encountered.
But balance doesn't mean taxpayers are off the hook. Facing pressure from a Congress dealing with a growing federal deficit, the IRS has made it clear it takes the enforcement portion of its job seriously.
Still, the IRS examined about 1 percent of all individual income tax returns during fiscal year 2012, according to the agency's 2012 annual data book (the latest edition available). Of that number, says the IRS, individual income tax returns reporting higher adjusted gross incomes were more likely to be examined.
But the rich aren't the only targets. Recent tax law changes, particularly when it comes to confusing tax breaks such as the first-time homebuyer credit, always prompt closer looks at returns. And if you're a small-business person, either as a partnership or a Schedule C filer reporting self-employment income on your personal tax return, make sure you take extra care with your returns.
And those with lower incomes that make them eligible for the complicated earned income tax credit, or EITC, also face added scrutiny. The IRS' latest data show that it audited 2.1 percent of returns by filers reporting less than $25,000 in income and who claimed this tax credit.

Now, you can order a study Bible with your name in it every place where the Bible speaks to you, the individual, or the name of your child or grandchild! Look, if your name is Chris, the Scripture would read:
"Therefore, if Chris be in Christ, Chris is a new creature; behold, all things have become new." (2 Cor 5:17)
If your name is Bonnie, the Scripture would read: "Fear not, for I have redeemed Bonnie, I have called Bonnie by thy name; thou art mine. When Mary passest through the waters, I will be with her ..." (Isaiah 43:1)
My dear Mother blotted the pronouns out of these type of Scriptures and wrote her own name in either above the line or in the margin. She personalized her own Bible 50 years ago, feeling that this gave her added personal strength in her inner soul. By personalizing Scripture, Mom overcame severe depression, exemplified by Migraine Headaches. When she was lying on her death bed, I read these personalized Scriptures to her, over and over again. Something touched Mom's inner heart and soul, seeing in print that Jesus knew her name and was speaking directly to her.
We believe this is the best gift to a child or a grandchild imaginable

- Nonstick cooking spray
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 cups salted dry-roasted peanuts (about 1 pound)
Cook's Note
Step 1
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and lightly coat with cooking spray. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, salt, and 1 cup water. Bring to a rapid simmer over medium-high and cook until deep golden, about 20 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Stir in butter, baking soda, and peanuts (mixture will foam). Stir until mixture is no longer bubbling and caramel is smooth, 1 minute. Transfer to sheet and spread with a lightly greased spatula. Let cool until firm, 15 minutes. Break into pieces.

Didnt get golden color, but at 20 min went ahead with peanuts/butter/soda. Tastes really good, and set but not hard like regular brittle. I'd call it peanut clusters...tastes sooooo good like a PayDay bar.

You need a candy thermometer to properly make brittle. The temperature of the mixture before adding soda, butter and peanuts needs to reach 295 degrees F. It took 30 minutes to get to that temperature on my stove, 20 minutes will only make it get to soft ball temperature.
Sarah H14 Dec, 2012
I tried this recipe twice and could not get it to set.

A 68-year-old Jamestown woman suffered significant damage to her car after she was rear-ended Saturday morning and Jamestown Police Department officials are seeking the public's assistance in finding the suspect.
Police say the victim was driving northbound on Winsor Street when she stopped at a red light around 8 a.m. at the intersection with Crescent Street in her 2007 Nissan Versa. The victim was then rear-ended by a black car with a driver described as a woman between the ages of 25 and 35, 5 feet 5 inches tall and 130 pounds with dark hair.
The suspect allegedly slid into the 68-year-old woman's car because of snow that had built up on the road.
The two women pulled their cars into a gas station to exchange insurance information when the suspect told the 68-year-old woman that she didn't have time to wait for police so she would write down her information. Police are saying that the information was false and are now looking for the suspect.
Anyone with more information is asked to contact the JPD at 483-7537. All callers can remain anonymous.

More information on these applications
First off is rom manager not a good thing for the optimus s? Are there any similar apps besides rom manager to stay away from such as flash image gui and goo? Is there any easier way to install roms than your basic backup-wipe-flash-boot?
Sent from my LS670 oh hush - 11-06-2012, 04:47 PM #2
Re: More information on these applications
ROM Manager is horrible for the Optimus S. The stickies at the top of the forum try to alert new users to that in big, capital letters.
GOO Manager actually works IF one has the correct recovery options on their phone. I think that it can be used with Cannibal Open Touch, and with one or two other custom recoveries for the OptiS. What it does, however, is lets you find a ROM that one of the OptiS developers uploaded to Goo.IM, lets you select it, then itself kinda accesses the recovery, backs up, wipes, flashes, boots. So . . . it's a bit like a script, and in a fair number of cases you're better off NOT using its "dumb" options. Some ROMs require you to wipe a few more things than the norm.
You really should take the time to do it the long way around. It's darned simple, and the difference is about the same as pressing "1 3 0 Start" on your microwave instead of just pressing "Popcorn". Popcorn button will often work, but if you need to change anything about the way it works . . . you can't. - 11-06-2012, 05:07 PM Thread Author #3
Re: More information on these applications
I have done it the long way. I've been playing with some roms but was curious about rom manager still being a paper weight creator for the phone. I don't know why
the dev doesn't put out warnings for people who have no idea on how to get the app to work. I also found a cyanogenmod roms application in the Google play store :rolleyes: I guess anything to make people get a rom without having to download it straight to your computer.

Re: More information on these applications
22.214.171.124 is a version of twrp so I'd hope you don't have to be on it to flash it. Most recoveries are .IMG files that you flash using terminal emulator or flash image gui. Some come as a flashable zip that can be flashed directly using your current recovery

Re: More information on these applications
You've asked the second question already and wraith answered it above.
Ss for the first question, that's a matter of preference. I like twrp better because I think the tappable buttons are nicer than having touch buttons at the bottom. Also less risk of holding the button and overshooting the option you want.

The year is 2185. The human race has gone to the stars, and found that they're not alone. Local space is teeming with civilizations, some hostile, some friendly, and some indifferent. This is the universe of Ephemeris.
Ephemeris is a game of galactic trade and galactic conquest; of inter-species conflict and cooperation. Ephemeris is a science fiction role playing game. Here you will be able to take on the role of your favorite alien species and your favorite class. You will be able to trade, fight, negotiate, conquer, whatever you'd like to do with your fellow players. You can play the role of an Althani Trader, or maybe an Arbonix Cyber Wizard, or maybe even a Human Nanist. You can create a party made up entirely of one species and set out to upset the trade routes of ...
The original Ephemeris rulebook didn't have room for a long equipment list, but we're making up for that now with 65 pages of equipment that you can use in your Ephemeris game...and it's all free!
Necessity's Call is a low level adventure for the Ephemeris RPG. The characters are a trading group desperate for a mission...any mission...and they find themselves forced to accept a highly dangerous, and also illegal mission in order to keep themselves afloat.
First played at MileHiCon in 2009, Necessity's Call features the six characters that were used at the Con.
America as a fascist state, soldiers driven to terrorism, insane computers, insane humans, insane aliens, these are just some of the things waiting for readers in the pages of this new collection from prize-winning science fiction author J Alan Erwine.
Seedlings on the Solar Winds contains sixteen stories that will have readers questioning what reality really is, and wondering what the future of humanity might be.
"J Alan Erwine is a master at placing believable characters into plausible, and often dark, futures. In the process, he unflinchingly explores what is both base and noble about humanity." - David Lee Summers, editor of Tales of the Talisman and author of Heirs of the New Earth
"...Erwine always presents a banquet of plots and...
Welcome to The Ephemeris Book of 1st Level Characters. This book contains 54 1st level characters. One from each species for every class in the Ephemeris game.
You can print these up to immediately start a new game or you can use them as potential adversaries or allies for the characters that your players have already created. All you need to do to make them playable is give them names.
Each character already has skills and equipment. The Cyber Wizards have their spells, the Nanists have their Transferences, and the Traders have their ships (although these need to be named as well.)
All these characters need is an adventure to undertake.
One of the worst things about playing or running a role playing game is having to stop in the middle of the game to find that one table in the big rulebook that you just have to have for the encounter you suddenly find yourself in.
This e-book contains the important tables from the core Ephemeris rulebook. You can print them up before your game...and then you'll have everything you need right at your fingertips...

"What could be more inspiring than a company that helps millions of people advance themselves",
Peter Harrison said. And Peter's passion for Snagajob's mission and his plans for the future of America's largest hourly employment network are nothing short of contagious. But let's back up.
Peter Harrison is a seasoned software executive with more than 25 years of experience leading and growing tech companies.
Before joining Snagajob, he served as CEO of GlobalLogic from 2002 to 2012, building it from 20 employees to more than 6,000. Prior to this, Peter was senior vice president of field operations at Versata, a leader in business automation software. While at Versata, he grew revenues from $1 million to $56 million in just four years culminating in an IPO in 2000 that at the time ranked in the top 25 best openings of all time. Prior to Versata, he was a co-founder of Seer Technologies, where as vice president of sales he helped grow revenues to $120 million in five years, which resulted in the company completing an IPO in 1995.
Peter has a bachelor's degree in Science in Software Engineering from Birmingham University, UK. And when he's not taking tech companies to the next level, you might find him kite boarding in Morocco or driving across the Sahara as he's a bona fide globetrotter and adventure junky. Peter splits his time between Richmond and DC where he lives with his wife and three children.

Over the winter of 2012-13 the mill has undergone a major £450,000 restoration and refurbishment project. The works consisted of desilting and restoring the historic millpond and its sluice gates, the refurbishment of the Grade II listed mill building, new millstones and milling furniture, and the restoration of the Victorian bakehouse with its original oven dating from the 1850s.
The project means that Sarehole can continue to operate as a working watermill and be enjoyed by future generations. From Easter 2014, as well as being able to regularly mill and produce our own flour for sale, museum staff and volunteers will also demonstrate traditional bread baking using the outdoor breadoven oven on special event days.
Highlights at Sarehole Mill include:
- The original main waterwheel, mill gears and grinding stones which visitors can see in action most days
- The bakehouse with the original breadoven from the 1850s, large enough to hold 60 loaves of bread.
- Signposts to Middle-Earth – this family-friendly exhibition explores the connections of JRR Tolkien with Sarehole Mill and the surrounding area. The Mill is part of the Tolkien Trail, which follows the childhood footsteps of the author and the places that influenced his writing. Download the Tolkien Trail leaflet.
- The mill pool – newly desilted and returned to its original size. This tranquil pond is a haven for wildlife including herons, mallards and moorhens - and if you are lucky you might spot our resident kingfisher!

2 ounces vegetable oil

PLACE poblanos directly on the stovetop and char the skin, turning often until most of the surface of the pepper is charred.
PLACE the peppers in a paper or plastic bag for about 20 minutes, remove and peel the skin.
USING a small, sharp knife, cut a slit in top of the pepper large enough to spoon in the stuffing.
DICE the garlic, chop the onion and cilantro and sauté in 2 ounces of vegetable oil until the veggies are translucent.
SAUTÉ the chorizo and drain off the fat.
COMBINE the vegetables, chorizo and shredded cheese in a bowl and allow to cool.
ADD one egg to the cool mixture; stir.
STUFF the peppers and add more cheese to the top of each pepper.
PLACE on aluminum foil on an oven pan and heat through for 30 minutes at 325°.
Wine recommendations
Spicy, juicy red zinfandel is the perfect accompaniment to this meal. Try the 2006 Wild Hog Zinfandel ($25) or the 2007 Castle Rock Mendocino Zinfandel ($14). While both have the requisite blackberry juiciness and spice component in spades, the Wild Hog is a fuller-bodied version of zin while the Castle Rock shows more acidity and is a little less in-your-face.
