A Murfreesboro neighborhood is on edge after a series of shootings. The most recent incident involved a 72-year-old man who said he felt like he was dodging bullets.
"It could have gotten anyone around this area," said William Baughter.
One minute, Baughter was on his own front porch, listening to his radio. The next, he said he was ducking for cover, not even sure what was happening.
"I heard a bunch of shots like a machine gun - I guess about 12 or 14 shots. While they were shooting, I was scooting down in the chair. I scooted way down as far as I can get," he said.
Bullet holes all over his house show how close he came to injury or death, but the shootings are unfortunately nothing new for the neighborhood.
"There's been about four of them in the last couple of three weeks," Baughter said.
Carl Marable, with Second Chance Ministries, grew up in the neighborhood and said that over the past decade hoodlums have taken over.
"It's pretty much the same group of guys. If one leaves, another rises up and they come over repeating the same old history," Marable said.
Second Chance Ministries hosts regular events to keep the community together.
"We try to bring people together, feed them, set up a place for the kids to play and have gospel singing - bring positive events back into this neighborhood," Marable said.
Marable said the only way to stop the bullets is for parents to get more involved with their children.
"I pray that the parents will stand up against their children and whip their children and identify their children as one of the ones that are doing the stuff," he said.

|An Academic & General Publisher
1. The Sierra Leonean Writers Series (SLWS) was established by Prof. Osman Sankoh (Mallam O.) in 2001 with the publication of the English editions of his books Hybrid Eyes - Reflections of an African in Europe and Beautiful Colours - Reflections on the Problem of Racism.
2. SLWS will focus on academic, fictional, non-fictional and scientific writing including textbooks.
3. As the name implies, SLWS will publish books by writers of Sierra Leonean origin only.
4. Authors who approach SLWS must be aware that our primary distribution focus is Sierra Leone. However, we will collaborate with other publishers and distributors to make our books available elsewhere. Authors are expected to contribute to the distribution efforts of SLWS.
5. We do not yet have the facility to make our books available on AMAZON but we are working on this. SLWS authors agree on simultaneous publication of their books as eBooks.
6. Since our goal is to assist writers of Sierra Leonean origin to publish their work, we are very flexible in publishing arrangements. However, we do not compromise on quality. All manuscripts including books already published elsewhere that are submitted to SLWS must be reviewed by our Editorial Board.
7. Please note that unless we commission the writing of a book or we are convinced to co-finance, authors of unsolicited manuscripts must pay for the full cost of the production of their books.
8. Please read our editorial and publication policies before approaching SLWS.

I need to get some more supplies for my electronic cigarettes, because I have been using them more often lately, and I think that they might actually help me to stop smoking tobacco once and for all. I have been trying to switch to smoking electronic cigarettes, because I think that they would be a lot better for my health. I just visited, http://www.ecigzone.co.uk and I have been looking at the supplies that they offer, but I do not know how their prices compare to other prices that are out there on the web.
I definitely want to find a good price on electronic cigarette supplies, because it is never fun to spend more money than is necessary. (more…)

FluidFrame™ Technology in Pandoras Box version 4.7 is designed to address a complex topic in frame rate conversion common to media servers
FluidFrame™ Technology, a signal processing algorithm, is designed to address a challenging and highly complex topic in frame rate conversion common to media servers, live video processing units, as well as signal processing in general. Included in Pandoras Box version 4.7, it offers a smooth cross-conversion that can take any input and output frame rate, supporting both interlaced and progressive sources and clips. This way, for example, 59.94 video input signals are displayed without any frame drop on 60Hz output displays. The technology can, therefore, also handle 50Hz to 60Hz realtime conversions. In addition, it allows smooth playback of high-speed frame rates such as 50p or 60p content and higher, and it can be applied to any live video input or content playback scenario, from straightforward live video processing to the synchronization of multiple HD SDI streams for live stereo 3D applications.

CATEGORIES Theatrical Reviews, Review Roundup, Reviews, CinematicalFive wide releases this weekend, and perhaps the final frame in which we're offered little but studio holdovers and lost causes. Dig into a haunted house story, a historical drama about abolitionists, a family-friendly inspirational piece, a Jim Carrey psycho-thriller and the big-screen debut of some very silly police officers. (And don't forget about the Oscars tonight!)
The Abandoned -- 3 positive / 8 negative at RottenTomatoes.com.
Pro: "Rallies in the end and has a satisfying, fittingly unsettling conclusion." -- Staci Layne Wilson, Horror.com
Con: "A punishing dose of zombie Chekhov for lifetime Fangoria subscribers." -- Jim Ridley, L.A. Weekly
Pro: "It's the pervasive sense of fatalism and decay that saves Cerda's debut feature from being yet another poky haunted-house chiller." -- Ken Fox, TV Guide
Con: "Reflects a filmmaker so lost in the details of his creation, he's neglected his obligation to forward momentum." -- Brian Orndorf, eFilmCritic.com
Bonus! "A fairly uninteresting story told in exceedingly spotty fashion." -- Scott Weinberg, Cinematical
Amazing Grace -- 52 positive / 23 negative at RT.com.
Pro: "This biopic of abolitionist crusader William Wilberforce gains much of its own force from the supporting characters." -- Josh Larsen, Sun-Times
Con: "A movie about the slave trade with hardly an African face in sight." -- Michael Booth, Denver Post
Pro: "As a portrait of political engagement, the movie is substantial and absorbing." -- Gary Thompson, Philadelphia Daily News
Con: "It's hardly compelling viewing." -- Desson Thomson, Washington Post
The Astronaut Farmer -- 61 positive / 40 negative at RT.com.
Pro: "Shows just how much you can accomplish with $12 million and more imagination than most big-studio releases can muster these days." -- Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Con: "Should be grounded for the twisted lesson it tries to impart." -- Claudia Puig, USA Today
Pro: "Works precisely because it's bereft of modern cinema's cynicism." -- Robert Wilonsky, Village Voice
Con: "It's one of those movies that yearns for a time that never really existed and ends up a chilly museum exhibit." -- Bill Muller, Arizona Republic
Bonus! "What makes the movie special are the personal touches." -- Jeffrey M. Anderson, Cinematical
The Number 23 -- 10 positive / 118 negative at RT.com.
Pro: "Schumacher also makes the movie tersely efficient, so we never feel like we're ahead of it, waiting for it to catch up." -- Chris Hewitt, St. Paul Pioneer Press
Con: "A loud, discordant mess of a movie, Jim Carrey's "The Number 23" is based on the premise that the second and third integers are really spooky." -- Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Pro: "Even the healthiest among us will, within 23 hours or so of seeing the movie, start adding up addresses and birthdays to see if they come out to ... that number." -- Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Con: "Neither mysterious nor enthralling, The Number 23 is ridiculous, not for its complexity, but for its belief in its complexity." -- Walter Chaw, Film Freak Central
Bonus! "Holy stereotype, Batman. You've got a film noir detective playing his own soundtrack. Not a good sign." -- Kevin Kelly, Cinematical
Reno 911!: Miami -- 21 positive / 35 negative at RT.com.
Pro: "One of the highest-concept, lowest-brow, most uproarious movie debuts since the surprise sensation of last year's cable crossover Borat." -- Ted Fry, Seattle Times
Con: "Maybe this plays better in Reno. On cable." -- Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Pro: "If you're a fan of the show, you'll probably be a fan of the movie." -- Mike Russell, The Oregonian
Con: "The problem with the Reno 911! movie is the same as the problem with the Reno 911 TV show: They're out of ideas." -- Eric D. Snider, EricDSnider.com
Bonus! "What worked so well in the original season -- the Cops spoofery, the lightning-quick improv chemistry, the oddball criminals -- are almost entirely absent from the movie version." -- Scott Weinberg, Cinematical
(Also opening in limited release is Gray Matters, which our own Ryan Stewart calls "the worst thing to hit Manhattan since 9/11.")
Next week: Sam Jackson and Christina Ricci in Blake Snake Moan, John Travolta and Tim Allen in Wild Hogs, and Jake Gyllenhaal and Mark Ruffalo in Zodiac.

There's no score at halftime in the Estádio do Dragão between FC Porto and PSG. FC Porto were the aggressor in the first half, but their wastefulness in front of goal could come back to haunt them.
Porto going things going early as James Rodríguez tested Salvatore Sirigu in the third minute, but it was João Moutinho's near miss a couple minutes later that was the best opportunity. Marco Verratti's speed on the outside caused PSG some issues and also elicited a poor tackle in the 5th minute from Thiago Silva that referee Howard Webb deemed a yellow card offense.
Zlatan Ibrahimović looked sure to score in the 20th minute after being set-up in the center of the box by Jérémy Ménez. Zlatan's shot went for the top left corner, but was deftly swatted away by Porto's goalkeeper Helton.
Other than that moment of near greatness, Porto were dominate playing most of the game in PSG's half and coming close on several occasions. The fact it's scoreless at halftime is a compliment to Sirigu and an indictment of Porto's less than precise finishing.
PSG is too good for Porto to not take advantage of all these chances. We'll have to see what happens in the second half.

A word from Piggyback Tavern
Piggyback Tavern, located in Downtown Forest Park just 9 miles west of the Chicago Loop, is all about bbq & beer ... tacos & tequila. ABC Channel 7"s "Hungry Hound" Steve Dolinsky featured us on his TV show and recommends Piggyback.
Our Q is dry-rubbed and smoked fresh every day over
hickory, oak and cherry wood. Brisket, pulled pork, chicken and ribs are the focus. Three signature bbq sauces are served table-side. Our tasty tacos are great on their own or on the side. In addition to bbq & tacos, we have an open fire grill that we cook our burgers and chops on. As for the bar, we've got 20 craft beers on draft that we rotate, over 20 cool beers in can, over 20 tequilas, over 20 whiskeys and bourbons, several margaritas, and a fun wine list.
Our lower level speakeasy lounge features craft cocktails and a cool vibe.
Come visit Piggyback, where we have something for everyone!

The last time I had dry ribs was
in Louisiana which was about 5 years ago. This place has GREAT dry ribs!! 4 sauces to match! Sweet potato tots are a great add-on. . . Definitely going back soon!!! (about 25 miles from my house)"

This was my second visit to
Piggyback, which prides itself on its BBQ sauces. The decor is fun, but the noise level can be a little loud with the TVs, music, and chatter. I met a friend for dinner at 7 PM on a Thursday evening. The restaurant wasn't too crowded, but it took our server several minutes to pop by our table and jot down our order. Later, he apologized for the delay on our drinks. He recommended a mojito to my friend, which she enjoyed. For a starter, my friend and I shared fried green tomatoes. We couldn't finish them even though they were good. My entree was the portobello and veggie sandwich with fries. My friend ordered tacos; she ended up taking one of them home. We were too stuffed for dessert."

Martinis are watered down and
served in champagne glasses. Our server was abrupt, not to say snippy. But the ribs and collard greens are great!"

We went for the ribs and they were
out of them at 6:15. The martini was undrinkable. Too bad because the first time I went just after it opened, it was great."

I've had the tacos and the yard
chicken (wood-fired), and they've both been great."

The combination of great food and
great service is hard to find but we got it at Piggyback Tavern. The waitress was very attentive despite having a large crowd due to the Hawks game. My favorite dish was the Patty Melt - the best I've ever had. The veggie tacos and mac and cheese were also delicious."

We went to Piggyback for Mother's
Day Brunch. We had ordered take out before but this was our first dining-in experience. First of all, the restaurant accommodated a last minute request to add 4 to our party, which was great. Overall the food was very good. Love the brisket and zesty BBQ sauce. The burgers were a big hit with the teens and were enormous. Some of the breakfast entrees are very basic but not bad. Wish I could remember our server's name. He was very nice and attentive on that busy morning. Prices were reasonable. I would like to go back in the evening with friends to experience more of the bar scene. I love the central bar and kitchen set up which will makes for a great ambiance all the way from brunch to late night drinks."

We were in a mood for meat, and
Piggyback is were we go for mounds of smoked meat on large metal trays that we can decorate with a choice of 4 sauces. The combo brisket and pulled pork which really needs no sauce, was smoky and moist. The chicken and ribs were tender with just a bit of crunch. Really like the Georgia caviar side. Very nice beer list on tap. We've been there with attentive service and with having to flag down random employees for another beer."

We went on a very cold night! We
were seated right in front of the door! We had to put jackets on throughout our dinner! We ordered an appetizer, and the entrees were served along with our appetizer! We asked about the ribs and the sauces! Sauces are on the table in plastic bottles! Every sauce tasted and smelled the same! Since they do them in a dry rub with out sauce, We did not like any of the sauces, because they all tasted the same! I did take home half of the rib entrée home and reheated them with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, and absolutely loved them! But I really think they were way over priced! Service was also an issue! They have a great selection of beers! I think if I return, it would be at the bar with appetizers!"
Dined on 2/21/2014
Eaten here many times but the last
three not good. Tasteless corn bread, cold fries, bitter coleslaw and warm beer. Horrible service. Server admitted the cornbread is not good but did not remove it from the bill."

The sides are awesome especially
the mac. The ribs and brisket were a little dry or my taste, but they were still good."
Dined on 2/14/2014
My friends and I came here and
tried the brisket/catfish tacos, chili fries, pork nachos, and the slider trio. Everything was top notch. Very flavorful and well cooked. A couple complaints, the service was excruciatingly slow. It took over 45 min to get our food. We each ordered a cocktail and were not able to get another one because our waitress never came to check on us until we got our food. The second complaint was we ordered our nachos with only cheese on half of them, well they gave us a half order of nachos. we understood how the misunderstanding happened but when we got the check we were still charged full price. Annoying! Will probably be back but may only do carryout from now on. Not interested in another 2 hour dinner."
Dined on 2/14/2014
I'm very big into BBQ food and
this place was awesome! Had a big group and tried almost everything. I would say everything was delicious except I was not a huge fan of the cornbread. Kind of blan for my taste but besides that food and drinks were awesome!"

What a nice surprise--a BBQ place
that has a choice of items for vegetarians! The fish tacos were excellent, and a little spicy. A nice touch. Also, the fried shrimp po'boy was huge and very tasty! You've got to try the "Hot Rita" margarita if you like hot things. It's a different drink and has the right balance of jalapeno and pineapple. The server, Laura, was very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. It was my husband's birthday and she let him order his choice of dessert, on the house. The skillet cake was so moist and was excellent served warm with ice cream! Give this restaurant a try...I know we'll be going back!"

Overall, a very good experience.
The smoked meats were kind of lackluster (see comments below)."

Piggyback Tavern is a gem, and a
great addition to lively Forest Park. Service is excellent and knowledgeable. Dry rub 'cue is off the beaten path for Chicago, but Piggyback does a great job of making it accessible for newbies and combining it with other great tastes. Try the Georgia Caviar salad. Great decor and ambience. There were numerous families with tiny ones enjoying themselves during our Friday evening visit. Great craft beer list - servers are glad to help with a recommendation."

My family and I went here to eat
on New Year's Eve. Got there at 5 and got a great little booth spot. The place is very clean and open. The bar is lovely and separated from the dining area. Derick, our waiter, was attentive. Gave us great recommendations on beer from their large selections of crafts on draft and cans. The grown up got ribs. I got pulled pork with mine. They come sans sauce (dry rub ribs) and you can add your own at the table from their selection of 4. It was really delicious. The mac n cheese was amazing. Dessert topped it off - ice cream for the kids and s'mores for me! (The best s'mores I've had.) And a whiskey flight for me and my husband. A great place to eat BBQ. We will definitely go back."

Great relatively new place in
Forest Park is THEE place for southern-style Q in the very near suburbs. Although ribs and brisket are the main stream stars here, the tacos are to die for !!! Either pork, chicken, brisket, veggie or a fish taco with catfish ( not the dreaded and overpriced and bottom feeder Tilapia here, kids....). Great craft beer choices: 20 on tap daily. Had both the Tyraneena Rocky's Revenge and the Lakefront Gear, both brown ales, and they are perfect accompaniment to any food choice. Prices are in the middle: not cheap, but nor a rip off. TV's all around to catch all the bowl games and the Hawks, or any sports choice."

The craft beer selection is good
but it gets changed a bit too often...so if you find a beer you like it may not be there next time you go in...the food is good...the sauces are good and should be bottled for sale. I personally enjoy the chilli cheese fries and the brisket. Good for watching a sports game on the televisions around the bar...or youcan sit at a table away from the sports and take in the ambience..."

Hostess was great,, sat us down
right away. Restaurant looked good, clean. Waiter came over fast and brought water, I ordered a beer. Waited...waited....waited...saw server waiting on other tables...waited....saw beer poured getting warm at bar. Waited nine minutes for the beer and still no beer so we booked out of there. Server was cool but I think had at least half the restaurant and no help. The server was running around busy and appeared to have everything happening to him alone and no one helping. Really can't rank the food because I didn't have any. Too bad, I was really pumped to go to Piggyback but with service like this they won't be around long."

A friend's mother had lunch and
said the food was good; so when my friends wanted to have dinner, I suggested we all try it. Then, I searched sights for reviews and got nervous as several reviews stated the food was not good. I ran across reviews in YELP which showed a high overall rating and felt better, until I read some of the lower rated reviews that were unfavorable (the barbeque was noted as dry & awful). However, my friends and I decided to give it a try anyway. Overall, we enjoyed everything we ordered: pork ribs, pulled pork, catfish, brisket, greens, mac & cheese, fries. The only dry item was the appetizer wings which were cooked too hard. Everything else was good -- my favorite being the brisket, catfish and home fries."
Dined on 10/25/2013
We came here to celebrate my
husband's bday. All he wanted was good beer and good bbq and they delivered. Service was fantastic as was the ambience. We started off w chili cheese fries which were a delicious treat. My husband ordered a full rack of ribs which were delicious. The pulled chicken sandwich was a hit too. I ordered the fried catfish tacos and I didn't like the cream sauce that was served w it so I just picked out the fish and ate that. We didn't order dessert bc we had bday cake wtg at home but they did sound delicious! We will definitely be back very soon."
Dined on 10/20/2013
Very respectable BBQ and a world
class beer list on draft. However service poor (managers and hostesses sat around with little to do....not assisting our incompetent, overworked waiter). Service was even a bit dishonest. Beers that they didn't have, or wouldn't serve on the flight (it said pick any four) they would just substitute something else and hope we wouldn't notice. Be honest, we'd understand! Also service was slow and incomplete (didn't check back once, nor offer 2nd drink or desert!). At the end of the night they left something off our bill. I had to tell them that they forgot to charge us for our dinners! That was the right thing to do, but after such a lousy experience I found it a bit difficult to do!"
Dined on 10/19/2013
This place was open on Monday but
not busy. Decor is pub restaurant with sports bar, though kid friendly. Several families with kids finished and left soon after we arrived. We enjoyed the fried green tomatoes appetizer, the burger that got raves from my partner, and the ribs with cornbread by me. The rib sauces were a mixed bag - I preferred the spicy one. They have a great beer list. The keg ran out of the first one we both ordered - one glass was half full - though as a nice touch that one was free. They offer tasting of their drafts before ordering - there are lots of relatively unfamiliar beers on the list. For a tasty (meaty) meal in a casual atmosphere and a great beer list, it's well worth going."

The food was awesome, great BBQ!
The service sucked! We made a 7:15 reservation and when we arrived five minutes early, we were told they don't seat reservations until the time it is for and they were running a few minutes behind and were encouraged to have a drink at the bar. We ordered drinks and ended up waiting past 7:30 for our table. Once seated, the service was so-so and when we finished we asked about going downstairs to the bar. We were told to close out our check and then we were welcome to go downstairs. We paid and started to go downstairs when we were told by another person that there was a private party downstairs. We told them we thought we would have been told that when we asked and promptly."

Jim Wright at Stonekettle Station has another article worth reading:
But after hours upon hours of scrolling through the documents, it became clear that the ISIS laptop contains more than the typical propaganda and instruction manuals used by jihadists. The documents also suggest that the laptop's owner was teaching himself about the use of biological weaponry, in preparation for a potential attack that would have shocked the world.
The information on the laptop makes clear that its owner is a Tunisian national named Muhammed S. who joined ISIS in Syria and who studied chemistry and physics at two universities in Tunisia's northeast. Even more disturbing is how he planned to use that education:
The ISIS laptop contains a 19-page document in Arabic on how to develop biological weapons and how to weaponize the bubonic plague from infected animals
The son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy pulled his five children out of Clark County, Nev. schools on Thursday after getting into a disagreement with administrators over the ability to carry pocketknives at school.
The five students are the grandchildren of Cliven Bundy, a rancher who has previously engaged in armed clashes with the U.S. government over the use of federal land. The incident that sparked the removal involved Bundy's 15-year-old granddaughter whose school refused to allow her to bring a pocketknife to school, according to television station KSNV.

Tom Corbett running for re-election in Pennsylvania as Governor,is so far behind his Democratic rival Tom Wolf he can't see the tail lights. This grifting do nothing worthless puppet of monied interests is reaching for something, anything, to be a legacy besides the complete and utter ineptitude and duplicity of his joke of an administration.He says he increased funding, not cut it, to education. No. I think the other Republicans who stood shoulder to shoulder with this toad, now have some dancing to do. Tom Corbett has a great history as a valued member of the GOP. He takes care of the people who take care of him. Problems? What problems? He also let the Gas Corporations ride free without any severance tax like every other freaking state that gets drilled. Shortfall? We could have done what?

Hillary Rodham Clinton broke nearly three weeks of silence Thursday on the fatal police shooting of an unarmed Missouri teenager, saying his death and the violent protests that followed resulted from frayed bonds of trust in a racially divided community.
The remarks by the former secretary of state during a speech to a technology group were her first about Michael Brown's Aug. 9 death in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson.
As a potential Democratic presidential candidate, Clinton was criticized for waiting so long to talk about the black teen's shooting by a white police officer after a midday confrontation on a street.
Clinton lamented the shooting and the numerous tense confrontations that followed between angry protesters and heavily armed police.
Here are a couple of really good youtube science channels that I just found out about. They both were created by Henry Reich. He's the sole creator of MinutePhysics and a co creator of MinuteEarth. They have a similar style, but deal with different subject matter.
With all the stupidity on Youtube, and the internet in general, its nice to know there are a few genuinely educational channels out there. This is made even more so, given the fact that most of what passes for "educational TV" nowadays is a joke. Television networks like the Discovery Channel often seem to care more about money than facts, and have even lied to scientists, to get them to appear on their dumb shows.
Both these youtube channels on the other hand, appear to be totally legit. They're also family friendly, which is another positive thing about them. Both channels are great, especially if you have children who or interested in science, or if are a mom or dad who wants to spark your kid's interest. The videos are also incredibly cute, and many of the videos include some nice humor if you watch the cartoon while listening.
First lets check out MinutePhysics
Here are just three videos he posted on that channel.

A former university president came under fire this week for the advice he gave on how to combat sexual assault on college campuses. On Tuesday, George Washington University President Emeritus Stephen Trachtenberg appeared on NPR's Diane Rehm Show and said, "Without making the victims responsible for what happens, one of the groups that have to be trained not to drink in excess are women. They need to be in a position to punch the guys in the nose if they misbehave." Critics pounced. Jezebel slammed his comments as "jaw-droppingly stupid," and the website noted, "If this is the attitude freely and blithely expressed by a former University President, it's no wonder that more than 75 schools are currently under investigation by the Department of Education for botching sexual assault investigations."
The following day, Trachtenberg told the school newspaper, The GW Hatchet, that his remarks had been taken "out of context," but he reiterated his main point: "What I'm saying is you want to have somebody you care about like your daughter, granddaughter or girlfriend to understand her limits because she will be less likely to be unable to fight off somebody who is attacking her."
On Thursday, Mother Jones asked Trachtenberg to comment on the ongoing controversy, and he replied with a written statement. Regarding Jezebel, he said:

A few years ago, Jodi Flaws, a bioscientist at the University of Illinois, began testing a theory about the risks to women posed by the widely used industrial compound bisphenol A, or BPA.
A series of studies had suggested that it could damage developing ovaries. But nobody knew how. So for a month, Dr. Flaws dosed young female mice with a BPA solution at a level comparable to estimated human exposure in the United States. She then examined their ovaries, focusing on the follicles, which contain the eggs.
The effect of the BPA was immediately obvious.
Who couldn't see this coming? This was apparently a fairly small stash. Sooner or later, some ammosexual's million round stash is going to up like a suburban volcano, destroying a whole neighborhood.
MIDWEST CITY, Okla. —Officials with the Midwest City Fire Department said ammunition went off during a house fire at 1609 McGregor Drive.
Officials said everyone was evacuated from the home, but two dogs died in the blaze.
Investigators said they believe the fire started in the garage and spread.

This photo was taken recently in my favorite auto parts store.
On the right is Mr. T, owner of Mr. T's Auto Parts in Toppenish, WA. Now this is a REAL auto parts store. Mr. T is way beyond retirement age, but fortunately for us he continues to be open 363 days a year. Notice there is no computer anywhere in the store. It's just him and his wife. He rarely uses the catalogs on the counter, doesn't need to. He actually stocks Farmall Cub oil filters and Cub Cadet air filters, right on the shelf. He knows what his customers want and carries those items. Of course he sells Seafoam and the Seafoam penetrating oil. There is an Autozone across the street, but I only go in there when there is NO alternative. Too bad places like Mr. T's are not as common as they used to be, but if you look you will find one.

You are so lucky. Kind of reminds me of Ray's in New Bedford.
The other thing that's happening, we have remaining just one old-fashioned electric repair where you drop off your starter or generator and pick it up in a couple days, all fixed. Nowadays your replacement is in stock (made on the other side of the world), they give you a refund for the core. Very convenient but I was talking to the owner of the auto-electric shop and he said this has just about killed his business, which has been a family run place employing 6-10 people for many years. .

Re: No Help at Auto Zone
There is a shop like this in Yakima, about 20 miles north of here, that is one of those old-fashioned electrical repair shops. In a farming community this is an important service to farmers who have old or odd equipment and need it fixed NOW. Last year I took a Cub started there for repairs. It needed an armature, brushes, and bearings. I got it back the next day, good as new. It's now got another 60 good years of service left in it, certainly more than me.

His job as a research and development technician with Eastman Kodak took him to Columbus three years ago, but no matter how much barbecue Ron Wieszczyk eats, he hasn't lost his taste for Buffalo wings.
In fact, he eats them at least once a week and grows his own pepper plants on his patio. After all, as a Niagara Falls, N.Y., native, he grew up just 20 miles from the Anchor Bar, where the concept of deep frying chicken wings and adding hot sauce was invented 50 years ago this month.
So one might say Ron, 56, was born to be in the movie that searches for the world's best Buffalo wings. He is one of six judges New York-based independent filmmaker Matt Reynolds selected to star in "The Great Chicken Wing Hunt."
The movie won several film festival awards and now is available on iTunes, Hulu, Amazon Instant Video, Google Play, Xbox Video, Sony PlayStation and Vudu.
Billed as celebrating the wing's rise from a Western New York bar snack to one of America's most popular foods, the film documents the judges' journey of 2,627 miles, 72 stops and 270 types of wings. Beginning on Aug. 18, 2007, the Wing Hunters traveled from New York City and into upstate New York. Among the stops were Lake George, Watertown, Syracuse, Rochester, Canandaigua, Geneva, Ithaca, Elicotville and Niagara Falls. They also split up and took side trips to Quebec and Vermont. The hunt ended in Buffalo at a wing festival on Labor Day weekend.
After 16 days of travel and two days of deliberation, the judges declared a winner, which Ron has vowed not to disclose.
"You've got to watch the movie," he said with a smile.
Ron, however, did indicate the winner wasn't the creator, the Anchor Bar.
"One of the comments in the movie was that they did invent them," he said, "but they sure haven't perfected them."
One night in 2007, while living in Rochester, N.Y., Ron went to the bar at L&M Lanes to celebrate his son Andrew's 21st birthday. They ordered some wings as usual, but these wings weren't usual.
"They were out-of-this-world phenomenal," Ron said. "I went crazy about them."
So much so, the bar owner asked him to contact Matt, who was looking for folks to sign up for his movie and nominate wing joints.
"His email was so detailed and enthusiastic, we had to ask him to join us," Matt said. "We were even more psyched to include him once we met him. He was probably the only Wing Hunter that you would call a team player. He was calm and positive when the rest of the hunters were on the verge of mutiny. We literally could not have completed the mission without him."
Although he didn't get paid for his acting, Ron did get his expenses paid, so he had a free vacation. But he acknowledged the trip wasn't all pleasure.
"The movie comes off showing everyone getting along," he said. "It wasn't always like that. There were moments where things got pretty heated just because of differences of personality."
Nonetheless, in hindsight, he said, he had a good time.
"Being a little older, a little smarter, actually some of the people I didn't get along with at one point have become some of my best friends," he said.
Ron wouldn't estimate the number of wings he ate, but he did say, "I gained 12 pounds in two weeks."
And he never got sick of eating wings.
"That was a weird thing," he said. "The other judges actually had a revolt. One of the judges said, 'We're having wings for breakfast, we're having wings for lunch, we're having wings for dinner. I didn't sign on for this.' Me, I was like, 'This is great.' I was loving it."
It took six more years for the film to raise enough money to be released. Ron even sold some bottles of his hot sauce to donate to the project. But serendipity allowed the movie to coincide with the Buffalo wing's 50th anniversary.
Serendipity also allowed the judges to find the Wing Hunt's winner. Again, Ron was mum about the details.
"It's covered in the movie," he said with another smile.
Still searching
In Columbus, Ron said he's still looking for the Chattahoochee
Valley's best place for wings. He has settled on Mr. Wing's for the variety and Hangar's for the traditional taste. But he welcomes suggestions.
Oh, and don't even get him started on boneless wings.
"Not even a wing," he scoffed.
Until he learns of other local options, he'll continue to favor his recipe.
Here are some of Ron's basic tips for making authentic Buffalo wings:
Ideally, the meat should be fresh, not frozen.
Deep fried, not breaded.
Peanut oil is best.
Properly cooked all the way through, but not overdone. Ron suggests baking them in the oven before frying them.
The sauce must have a base of butter (not margarine) and chili peppers for it to be a true Buffalo wing sauce.
The wings also should be separated into the drummettes and the flats, not big pieces. "Wings are supposed to be messy but not that messy," he said.
Don't sauce the wings right away, because the sauce will run right off. Let the wings rest until they're crispy before adding the sauce.
What makes the best wing sauce?
Heat from habanero peppers. The type of peppers Ron grows are from Panama and called Aji Chombo. "The key to my peppers is they have flavor," he said. "It's not just heat."
Hot sauce is pepper sauce. Wing sauce has melted butter -- and maybe some garlic and salt and black pepper for flavor -- to help the sauce stick to the wings.
"I like it so hot that I can't eat a dozen of them," he said. "I like the fire. I haven't found any place down here that has them like that. If I can get them like that, I'll order a dozen, eat six and take the other six home and eat them for breakfast."
But the heat shouldn't overwhelm the taste. "The way to counteract the heat is with sugar," he said. "I've never personally done it, because I've never made wing sauce that was too hot."
"You can cook the heat out of stuff," Ron said. "If you make a batch of chili someday, and you're like, 'Whoa! This is too hot!' Don't throw it out. Leave the lid off a little bit. Let it simmer on the stove. Your eyes might be watering in the house for a day or so, but by the end of the day, you'll be able to eat that. The heat will cook out."
