Etan Kalil Patz (/ˈeɪtɑːn ˈpeɪts/; October 9, 1972 - declared legally dead in 2001)[3] was an American child who was six years old when he disappeared in Lower Manhattan, New York City, on May 25, 1979.[4] He is the best known missing child from New York City.[5] His disappearance helped spark the missing children's movement, including new legislation and various methods for tracking down missing children, such as the milk-carton campaigns of the mid-1980s. Etan was the first ever missing child to be pictured on the side of a milk carton.[6]
In 2010, the New York County District Attorney's office reopened the case into Patz's disappearance. In April 2012, the FBI excavated a basement near the Patz residence, which revealed no new evidence.[7]
On May 24, 2012, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly announced that a man was in custody who had implicated himself in the Patz disappearance. According to The New York Times, a law enforcement official identified the man as Pedro Hernandez, of Maple Shade, New Jersey, and said that he had confessed to strangling Etan Patz. Hernandez, aged 51, was an 18-year-old convenience store worker at the time of Patz's disappearance.[8] On November 14, 2012, a New York grand jury indicted Hernandez on charges of second-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping.[9] His lawyer has stated that Hernandez was diagnosed with schizotypal personality disorder, which includes hallucinations.[9] According to a New York Times report from May 25, 2012, the police had at that time no physical evidence to corroborate Hernandez's confession.[10]
In November 2012, Hernandez was formally charged with Patz's murder and kidnapping.[11]
In April 2013, Harvey Fishbein, a defense lawyer for Pedro Hernandez, filed a motion to dismiss the case, citing that Hernandez' "confession in one of the nation's most notorious child disappearances was false, peppered with questionable claims and made after almost seven hours of police questioning".[12]
In May 2013, Manhattan state Supreme Court Justice Maxwell Wiley ruled that the case could move forward, and ordered a hearing to determine whether the defendant's statements could be used.[13]
On the morning of Friday, May 25, 1979, six-year-old Etan Patz left his SoHo apartment in New York City for the first time by himself to walk two blocks to catch the school bus. He wore a blue captain hat, a blue shirt, blue jeans and blue sneakers. He never reached the bus stop. When he did not come home at 15:30, his mother called the police. An intense search began that evening, using nearly 100 police officers and a team of bloodhounds. The search continued for weeks. At first, detectives considered the Patzs as possible suspects, but they quickly determined the parents had no involvement. A massive search involving neighbors and police covered the city with missing child posters featuring Patz's face, but resulted in few leads. Patz's father, Stan Patz, a professional photographer, used a collection of photographs he had taken of his son in the effort to find the missing boy. His photos of Etan were printed on countless missing child posters and milk cartons, and they were projected on screens in Times Square.[14]
Assistant United States Attorney Stuart R. GraBois identified Jose Antonio Ramos, a convicted child sexual abuser who had been a friend of Etan Patz's one-time babysitter, as the primary suspect in his disappearance after receiving the case in 1985. Some boys had accused Ramos of trying to lure them inside a drainpipe, where he lived in 1982 in the Bronx. When police searched the drainpipe, they found photographs of Ramos and young boys who resembled Patz. GraBois eventually found out that Ramos was in custody in Pennsylvania in connection with an unrelated child molestation case. In 1990, GraBois became deputized as a deputy state attorney general in Pennsylvania to help prosecute a case against Ramos for sexually abusing other children to also obtain further information on Patz's case. When initially questioned by GraBois, Ramos stated that he took a young boy back to his apartment to rape him, on the day Patz disappeared, and that he was "90 percent sure" it was the boy he later saw on TV. Ramos did not use Patz's name, however, and claimed he had "put the boy on a subway." While Ramos was incarcerated, a fellow convict of his who became a jailhouse informant told GraBois and FBI agent Mary Galligan in 1991 that Ramos told him he knew what happened to Patz, and even drew a map of Patz's school bus route, indicating that he knew that Patz's bus stop was the third one on the route.[14]
In a special feature on missing children, the New York Post reported on October 21, 1999, that Ramos was the prime suspect in Etan Patz's disappearance.[15] Ramos was known to the Patz family and was the prime suspect all along, but in the early 1980s they still could not prosecute Ramos. Patz was declared legally dead in 2001. Ramos was declared responsible for Patz's death in 2004 in a New York civil case but remains unprosecuted. Ramos denied responsibility for Patz's death.[14]
Etan Patz's parents, Stanley and Julie Patz, pursued a civil case against Ramos.[16] They were awarded a 'symbolic' sum of $2 million, which they have never collected.[17] Ramos served a 20-year prison term in the State Correctional Institution – Dallas in Pennsylvania for child molestation.[6]
Every year, on the anniversaries of Etan's birthday and disappearance, Stan Patz has sent Ramos a copy of his son's missing child poster. On the back, he types the same message: "What did you do to my little boy?"[3][6][14]
Jose Ramos was released from prison on November 7, 2012, and then promptly arrested on a Megan's Law violation.[18]
Case reopened[edit]
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr., officially reopened the Etan Patz case on May 25, 2010. On April 19, 2012, FBI and NYPD investigators began excavating the SoHo basement of 127B Prince Street, near the Patz' home, which case files revealed had been newly refurbished shortly after the boy's disappearance in 1979. The basement had been the workshop and storage space of a carpenter who had previous contact with Etan as well as many others in the neighborhood at the time.[19] After a four-day search, investigators announced there was "nothing conclusive found", including any skeletal or human remains.[7]
On May 24, 2012, New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly announced that a man was in custody who had implicated himself in the Patz disappearance.[20] According to The New York Times, a law enforcement official identified the man as Pedro Hernandez, and said that he had confessed to strangling Etan Patz.[21] CNN reported that Patz had a dollar and had told his parents he planned to buy a soda to drink with his lunch. Hernandez worked at a neighborhood bodega that Patz may have entered; Hernandez said he later threw Patz's remains into the garbage.[22] Hernandez has been charged with second-degree murder. His lawyer has stated that Hernandez has a history of mental illness that includes hallucinations. According to a New York Times report from May 25, 2012, the police had at that time no physical evidence to corroborate Hernandez's confession.[23]
Subsequent statements by Hernandez's sister, Nina Hernandez, and Tomas Rivera, leader of a Charismatic Christianity group at St. Anthony of Padua, a Roman Catholic church in Camden, indicated that Hernandez may have publicly confessed to murdering Patz in the presence of fellow parishioners in the early 1980s. According to Hernandez' sister, it was an "open family secret that he had confessed in the church".[24]
On November 14, 2012, a New York grand jury indicted Hernandez on charges of second-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping.[9]
On December 12, 2012, Hernandez pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder and one count of kidnapping in a New York court.[25] On May 15, 2013, a judge said the case against Hernandez may continue towards trial.[26]
The day of Etan Patz's disappearance, May 25, 1979, has been designated National Missing Children's Day since its declaration by President Ronald Reagan in 1983.[5]
The extensive media attention to Patz's disappearance has been credited as the catalyst for greater attention to missing children, including a reduced willingness to allow children to walk to school, photos of missing children being printed on milk cartons, and promotion of the concept of "stranger danger" (the idea that all adults unknown to the child must be shunned as potential kidnappers and child rapists).[27]

WOOD COUNTY, OH (WTOL) - The Wood County Prosecutor's Office says a grand jury indicted radio host Andrew Z. on several felony charges Wednesday.
Andrew Zepeda, also known as Andrew Z, was indicted on one count of breaking and entering, one count of theft and one count of failure to pay sales tax on his Perrysburg restaurant.
This comes after a break-in at Zepeda's former pizzeria at Levis Commons on Oct. 15 and 18.
Earlier this month Perrysburg police charged Andrew Z's uncle, Paul Zepeda, and David Wright with breaking into the restaurant.
Zepeda said in a news conference Wednesday that he did nothing wrong and is being unfairly targeted by police.
Zepeda faces a maximum sentence of 1 year in jail for the breaking and entering charge. He faces a maximum of 18 months in jail for the theft and failure to pay charges.
He is scheduled to be arraigned Dec. 10.

Plus, on this day The Fan and I decided to hang one quick roll of wallpaper on Loopy's bedroom wall... it only took an hour to add some teenybopper pizazz to her room:
Do you agree that nothing says "teenager" like cheetah print mixed with pink walls?
And of course all the while I am hanging wallpaper and obsessing over the shape of my face I am planning on:
... about just wallpaper and the state of my cheeks. That seemed to be foremost on my mind today. Until:
Don't you agree, Dear Reader?

If you want to really see the Ohio River in New Richmond, take Front Street all the way into town from U.S. 52. You'll pass big old houses until you hit downtown and its central meeting point, Front Street Café. The café-style tables out front are cute, but the life of the restaurant exists on the back patio. There, a huge beech tree makes for one big shaded area where patrons dine while bands play bluegrass, Cajun, folk, or some other similarly rootsy music. All of which is to say that you come to Front Street Café because it's quaint and people are friendly and there is good music. The food is good, though it doesn't break any new ground (and for the price, you might not expect it to). The pasta Lafayette—Andouille sausage, shrimp, and red peppers cloaked in a "spicy cream" sauce—is the most adventurous item on the menu, but it's more Midwestern-sweet than Cajun-spicy. The spinach artichoke appetizer soundly beats Applebee's more famous version (yes, I'm a fan). The rib eye special was cooked to a perfect medium-rare, but lacked the most basic seasoning; nor did the accompanying homemade mashed potatoes contain the promised hint of garlic. But none of that mattered once we ordered the Ultimate Chocolate Cake, made with five kinds of chocolate plus chocolate syrup. Here's the thing:Even if the food didn't knock our socks off, we still had a great time. The staff is attentive and friendly. The music is good. Other diners smile warmly. And when a river breeze stirs the leaves on that big beech tree, there are few places I'd rather be.

Community centre gets thumbs-up
6:00am Monday 6th January 2014 in News
WORK on a long-anticipated community centre is set to start after Basildon Council gave plans the thumbs-up.
Campaigners fought for two-and- a-half years to stop Kent View Road recreation ground being sold to fund the £38million Basildon Sporting Village.
The public uproar saw the parkland saved with the council agreeing to let Vange Community Group, which was formed during the lengthy battle, take charge of the site.
Last year the Echo revealed the council handed the group £180,000 from its Community Investment Fund to help with their dreams of opening a community centre.
Planning officers have this week approved plans to replace the existing Seventies recreation ground building with a new facility.
Daniel Munyambu, Labour councillor for Vange, said: "This centre will benefit the whole community. It is the right thing for the recreation ground, and I'm glad the council has seen sense and approved the plans.
"I would like to see the centre become a multi-purpose facility.
It could be used by groups, hired out by individuals and host all different kinds of events.
"When people come together, they often find they actually have a lot of power. The successful battle to save the recreation ground proves that.
"I'm really pleased the community of Vange have been able to help each other and make a difference."
The centre will be split into two main rooms, one housing a pre-school and the other a community hall.
Toilets, kitchen areas, store rooms and an office will also be included.
The existing car park will be extended to create 20 extra parking spaces.
Members of Vange Community Group hope the centre will be up and running by 2015.
Tony Ball, leader of Basildon Council, said: "We did an indepth study and we thought it was a site which was under-used and under-valued by the community, which was why we considered selling part of it off.
"What became apparent was there was a commitment from residents to take ownership of the park and ensure it became an important part of the community.
"I'm really pleased the plans have been given the go-ahead and want to say well done to the volunteers for all their hard work."

Broken Glasses
May 18, 2010
I have two pairs of glasses. I wear my bedtime glasses when I am watching or reading in the late hours of the night. The frames are bent and chipped and the prescription is two years old. These are the simplest, least adorned glasses I have possessed since elementary school. I have always strongly identified as a glasses wearer, sporting big, bold spectacles that have covered up to 1/4 of my face. My daytime pair used to be sunglasses, purchased at an estate sale. My mom is obsessed with estate sales. She and her best friend, my Aunt Joan, go hunting almost every Friday from spring until fall. They like the newer houses in the rebuilt rich suburbs north of the city. It is a tough balance, a new house with expensive goods, but not too much baby or kid paraphernalia. Me, on the other hand, I like the mid-century ranches that are being torn down so the type of places my mom and Aunt Joan like to scavenge can be built. The houses are usually being vacated so the occupants can move to Florida or Arizona, a nursing home, or perhaps they have died. With a keen eye you can tell which it is. Is there predominately women's clothes, with one small closet of men's suits? Is there a walker and medical equipment for sale? How old are the toys they have stashed in the basement? These are the children of the Depression, sometimes survivors of the Holocaust, people who knew how to cherish and reuse the things they have. The sunglasses that are now my daytime glasses are from the 1950s and in perfect shape.
I have gotten rather fastidious about not wearing my daytime glasses to bed. I will take them off as soon as I get into bed or if I plan on reading I will change into my bedtime glasses as part of my nighttime preparations. This was not always the case. I used to sleep in whatever was on my face when I hit the bed. This would sometimes result in the loss of glasses to the folds of my bed. I made a system sometime around when I moved into my Detroit basement. I would turn my face to the wall (in the basement, this was toward the back of the futon I took up residence on after abandoning my bed to bad memories), put my glasses in my right hand, and tuck it under my pillow. Sometimes this worked, but other times I awoke groping the covers. Feeling the glasses there in my hand seemed somehow secure even though it was not.
Some of my lowest points in life have been experienced through the thick haze of lost or broken glasses. Having my small pair of cateyes swept off my face by the man who would terrorize me throughout my 19th year, as he commented, "if you didn't insist on wearing ugly glasses you could be a model." The night Hendrik, Mirna, and I each drank a pint of rum in a half hour and Hendrik punched me in the face. It was a culmination of sexual tension and threats, both sides vying for the title. After he hit me, he fled in horror. I was left to retrace my movements in the gritty abandoned lot looking for my eyewear. Later this night would become a joke about how the people from the nearby gallery took me inside and forced me to call my parents to come pick me up. In the morning when Mirna and I went back to the lot she found my glasses immediately, the frames twisted, the lenses splintered into a massive spiderweb. They had been run over. I felt like I had been run over.
I did have one experience of blind happiness. I was driving my mom's mini SUV back from a rendezvous with Dan in Toledo. I felt so alive, singing along with the blasting radio, my head out the window. It was past midnight and it was just me and the truck drivers on I-75. The glasses made a "whoop" like sound as they flew off my face and into the night. I pulled over on the shoulder even though I knew it was hopeless. I was still 30 miles from Detroit. I called Dan and we both fretted over what to do. I had no choice. I got in the farthest right lane, put on my blinkers, and squinted through the darkness all the way home. Thankfully it was a route I knew so well I wondered, once I got home safely, if I could have done it with my eyes closed.
My glasses broke at the bridge the week after I slept with my ex. The week had been a trial. I was desperately trying to finish my last semester of school, spending hours holed up in the dimly lit Burton Collection scouring the 1915 -1925 city directories and mapping migration of African-American and Jewish businesses in a small section of Black Bottom, just below Paradise Valley. My advisor was the type who would not look you in the eye. I would devise ways to try to look him squarely in the face, but instead he would turn his face to the ceiling, relating stories of Chrysler's early days. We could only converse through Detroit car culture metaphors. I was scared I was going to end up like him, in an 8×8 cell on the third floor which the History Department shared with Peace and Conflict Studies. Everyone in the History Department treated me like a grad student, everyone except the secretary who resented me for hanging around and using the copier. I was the only one who went to conferences, who asked questions after presentations, who made any effort outside of graduation. Little did they know this was because I was putting such little effort toward graduation. A lifelong learner, but only of things I wanted to learn. My advisor took it for granted I would stay at this school, possibly TA for him come fall semester. He knew I was a slacker after my phone went off (Jay-Z's "Hard Knock Life") during one of the other students defense, but that did not matter. Sleeping with my ex was the least of my worries during this time, but it is these types of situations one focuses on when they feel themselves being pulled in a hundred unfocused directions.
We had been on a downward spiral since I had gotten back from confronting my past. I had taken to drinking and crying, curling up on the floor paralyzed with fear. I had been so confident and secure and all that was flushed down the toilet in one extended weekend. I had done the impossible and now I was impossible. I spent more and more time in the library, living in other's past, photocopying marquees of movie theatres long since torn down, spinning through microfilm of the local papers and recording all the pornographic films that played around town in the 1970s. When I got home from a weekend at the labor history conference I told him he should move out. He agreed.
It took me only three months to move out of the house I owned into the Detroit basement. My best friend, who had lived with me for years, moved down the street into a rotting row house surrounded by liquor stores and crackheads. My ex moved north, into a neighborhood that formerly housed the city's business leaders. He and his roommates burned their furniture on the lawn because "they could."
We had slept together again after seeing "Kaidan" at the art museum. The week after this happened we left each other in uncomfortable silence. My glasses broke when I rolled over on them at the end of our silent week. I spent an hour in bed crying, mourning this loss. I had no back up glasses. I had nothing. My mom came to pick me up and my opthamologist melted an industrial staple into the bridge to hold them together. This solution was tenuous at best. That night I went to my bestest's birthday party in Ypsilanti, another starving Michigan town. There is a picture of us together, arms locked, you can hardly see the staple but my glasses are very crocked. She gave me her old ones, just in case.
There are moments when I am so devastated that I have to say out loud, "I feel so sad." It is a feeling so primitive, simple, pervasive. There has always been something comforting in stating how I feel and I know this sometimes makes others uncomfortable. We are only supposed to talk about how we feel under duress. Lately I do not know how I do it, continue to speak when my tongue feels so heavy, continue to move through the broken glasses fog. This morning I tried to force myself to sleep in late. I put the television on some useless program, turned my face to the wall, daytime glasses in my right hand, shoved under my pillow. I awoke when the show ended, the theme song playing, my hand empty.
this is a work in progress, part of a larger piece dealing with my relationship with glasses, clothes, items from the past, and my general sentimentality. i feel unsure about the connections i am making concerning the loss of emotional and intuitive sight and the temporary loss of physical vision. this needs work. katie recently said she likes how my pieces jump around from one idea to another, but this piece seems to jump more than i like. not sure how to connect the threads of stories, times i have lost/broken my glasses and times of crisis. am i always in times of crisis? is my fear. do i depend on others too much? i want that to come out in this piece – that when my glasses are broken i am usually helpless and need others help to pull me out of it. even the time when i took care of myself (the drive from toledo) i called dan to talk it out with him first. hmmmmmmmm things to think about. for work and for life.

If the Bears had advanced to the Super Bowl, they might have been down to one healthy quarterback.
It was revealed Monday that Jay Cutler sprained his left medial collateral ligament, and an NFL.com report indicates Todd Collins, who replaced Cutler in the third quarter, suffered a shoulder injury when he was hit by Packers NT B.J. Raji on his final snap of the game. The report says Collins will undergo an MRI and that the injury might require surgery.
Collins was replaced by Caleb Hanie after that play and it was initially believed that Collins was pulled for performance reasons. Head coach Lovie Smith didn't even hint during his press conference Monday that Collins' health was a factor in the decision to take him out of the game.
"I like our evaluation of our quarterbacks," Smith said. "You have a No. 1, if he goes down, you have a No. 2, and if that doesn't work, you're able to go to your No. 3. We were able to do that and we ended up with our No. 3 and he was able to put us in position to possibly win this game. I like our evaluation of our quarterbacks right now."
Collins, 39, is due to become a free agent this offseason.

Djibril Cisse scored in the 89th minute to give Queens Park Rangers the victory over Stoke City. The massive three points pulls QPR out of the relegation zone to 16th place, and two points clear of 18th place Bolton Wanderers. The home supporters swarmed the pitch after the match knowing that they may have just seen the three points that keeps their side in the Premier League for next season.
It didn't look like QPR were going to find the goal they needed as the clock continued to tick. They earned a corner when Shaun Wright-Phillips saw his shot deflected. With minutes left, Loftus Road erupted when Cisse finished Anton Ferdinand's flick-on from Adel Taarabt's corner. Cisse snuck in at the back post and had the simplest of finishes. Peter Crouch nearly equalized for Stoke in stoppage time, but his shot was just wide to the left.
A point next week against Manchester City will be enough to guarantee QPR's survival for next season. Otherwise, they'll be safe as long as Bolton does not beat Stoke.

It's that time of year. It's the middle of January, and Roy Oswalt, Hiroki Kuroda and Edwin Jackson are free agents. Those pitchers have been holding out for X, but according to a Buster Olney tweet, they are now seeking < X. I shouldn't really put this on the pitchers. This is about their agents. It's always about the agents, except for when it's Jamie Moyer.
Olney made a note of saying that Oswalt is now looking for about $8 million over a year. This is just a little report on Twitter, so who knows, but, Roy Oswalt? For a year and $8 million?
At FanGraphs, Dave Cameron writes about how he loves that price. For a buyer.
At $8 million for one year, the line for Roy Oswalt should be out the door. I'd venture to go so far as to argue that any contender with enough money to spend is wasting a potential golden opportunity by letting him sit out on the market any longer. At that price, Oswalt might just be the biggest bargain of the winter.
There's not much in his 2011 performance that suggests a healthy Oswalt took any real step backwards as a pitcher. When he was throwing at normal velocity, he was still pitching at a the level of a +3 to +4 win pitcher, and that was the type of ability he was showing when the season ended.
Basically, Oswalt was hurt last year, but when he wasn't hurt, he was really good, and he finished the season not hurt. So while there is the obvious injury red flag, Oswalt is probably good to go for the time being. Sorry if I gave it all away.
Long-term contracts for free agent pitchers usually turn out bad. Short-term contracts for free agent pitchers often turn out good. Roy Oswalt for one guaranteed year and a seven-figure salary? At that price, he should attract so many suitors that he...ends up with an eight-figure salary, probably. Huh.

A nor'easter will kick up winds and rain in the region today, with sleet and snow likely west of Boston and in the higher elevations.
According to WHDH meteorologist Chris Lambert, the precipitation should start between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., which would impact the afternoon commute. Atmospheric conditions may convert falling rain into snow in Boston, though that would mean merely a dusting on grass before quickly melting away. The actual rain/snow line is harder to predict.
"I don't expect much, if any accumulation in the Boston area, maybe a slushy coating around Rte. 128 on grassy surfaces as rain and snow battle it out for a few hours in the early evening," wrote Lambert on the 7 Weather Blog. "The snow will lose that battle to rain, although that process takes longer outside 495."
The National Weather Service has issued wind and coastal flood advisories ahead of the storm, calling for sustained winds of 20-25 MPH and gusts of 50 MPH. While not as strong as the winds from Sandy, the gusts are enough to cause damage.
The nor'easter comes on the heels of Hurricane Sandy, which roughed up the Boston area Oct. 28-29.
NSTAR warned that a storm with such strong winds could lead to some power outages.
"The high winds and heavy rain associated with the nor'easter forecasted to affect us beginning on Wednesday could likely result in power outages across our region," read a statement by the utility company. "NSTAR crews, contractors and support personnel will be ready to respond to any damage caused by this storm."
"People who encounter homeless individuals are encouraged to notify public safety officials by calling 9-1-1 or the Mayor's 24-hour Hotline at (617) 635-4500," read a statement from the mayor's office. "Residents are encouraged to register for AlertBoston by visiting www.cityofboston.gov/alertboston and follow @NotifyBoston on Twitter."

What's with the HOUSE on the HILL?!

Dear Natalie,
We need to thank Mr. Adamic for a source of good humor in Alamo. He has the home of his dreama and Alamo's Towne Fools, as resident humorists, celebrate his home as The Great Chief Freshly-Plowed Black Earth Casino and House of Ill-Repute. It appears on our Alamo Postcard complete with a large neon sign.
I would have one serious suggestion for Mr. Adamic that would delight our community. Being that his home is on top of Mona Lisa Hill, why not have the Mona Lisa duplicated on a large, north-facing vertical wall. Some 20 years ago, an artist use fertilizer to create the Mona Lisa in the hillside grass above the Stone Valley/680 exchange and Alamo would celebrate Mona Lisa's return.
Great article, Natalie, and joyous best wishes to Mr. Adamic.

This home is an asset to Alamo. Those who have visited Europe and appreciated and admired the ancient architecture, can appreciate what is being replicated historically. There are so many homes being built that are huge, done to impress but are faux copies of classic design. They will look dated in a few years. This home is , in fact, authentic to Tuscan architecture.
One can only admire the creativity, dedication , physical labor and energy Kelly has put personally into his home. He humbly just wants to build his vision for himself. He graciously gave me tours when I visited several times and took the time to explain what was going into the home. (as he patiently did for so many people)
I would encourage those who are vocally critical to visit museums and gain an appreciation of historical designs. There are so many people in need in the world that this critical energy could be directed to making the world a better place, if even in some small way.

Applause to Ms. McNamara, Natalie,
I am convinced that, in Alamo, Mr. Adamic has displayed a part of Italy in our community. Such historical significance has convinced me to fulfill my dream to build a light house. My light house will bring the majesty of the Maine Coast to Alamo as the 62 feet tall Alamo Light.
It is fortunate that county codes allow water towers, chimneys, and lights to reach above the typical 35 feet height limit and Alamo can have a second building of historical significance.

Rumor: Daniel Radcliffe offered role as Freddie MercuryNews
September 22, 2013, 12:00 PM
According to the Dailey Star, Daniel Radcliffe has been offered a chance to play Queen's lead singer, Freddie Mercury, in a biopic. There is no official word yet on Radcliffe's involvement in the project, or if he'll even take the role. The role was previously given to Sacha Baren, who left the project over script disagreements. The Daily Star reports:
A source told the Daily Star last night: "Daniel has been told the part is his if he wants it."
"Despite his youth, Daniel impressed movie bosses with his portrayal of gay poet Allen Ginsburg in this year's movie Kill Your Darlings.
"Plus, he's closer in height to Freddie than Sacha, who's much taller. Daniel can really sing, too."

No Question Who's In Charge Of Vikings
[size=18px]There's no question who's in charge of the Vikings[/size]
Kevin Seifert, Star Tribune
As a top assistant in Philadelphia for seven seasons, Brad Childress knew his role. His opinion was Andy Reid's opinion. His style was Andy Reid's style. His thoughts were Andy Reid's thoughts.
Andy Reid? Oh, yeah. He was the head coach.
"I prided myself when I was with Andy in that I could say things exactly the way he wanted them said," Childress said. "As an assistant, it's too easy to say that the head coach wants you to do it one way, but you can also do it another way. You have to speak with one voice. As the head coach, you know how you want it run, and you know exactly how you want it said."
There might be no better way to describe Childress' methodology in hiring his inaugural Vikings staff this winter. Culling a mix of former colleagues, ex-players and ex-interns, Childress collected a group he expects to execute his vision for the team.
In the process, Childress made himself the unquestioned football architect at Winter Park.
Speaking Wednesday for the first time since forming the staff, Childress said one of his proudest moments thus far has been hiring his first choice at nearly every coaching position. The original list was based, he said, on his belief that a staff should get along and, in essence, coach their positions the way he would.
"I have a set way of how I want to do things," Childress said. "I'm a victim of my past. You know what's been successful for you. You need to be organized and have a plan. There are some things that are open for discussion, and there are some things that are the way we're going to do it. You don't always have time for 20 different opinions. Ideas are good, but somebody has got to be running the team. When I'm in that coaching room, I'm running the team."
The staff will have no qualms conceding that point. If one end of the spectrum is hiring big-name coordinators -- as Detroit coach Rod Marinelli did on both offense (Mike Martz) and defense (Donnie Henderson) -- Childress aligns at the other end. The Vikings, in fact, will be the only NFL team this season without at least one veteran coordinator.
Darrell Bevell (offense), Mike Tomlin (defense) and Paul Ferraro (special teams) all are first-time pro coordinators. Combined, they have 12 years of NFL experience.
Including Bevell (36) and Tomlin (33), Childress hired 12 assistants (out of 17) who are younger than 40. Only three coaches -- offensive line coach Pat Morris, defensive line coach Karl Dunbar and linebackers coach Fred Pagac -- have previous NFL experience at their current position.
Childress appeared neither insulted nor defensive Wednesday when asked about his staff's experience level, even while pointing out the combined 60 years of college experience between assistant offensive line coach Jim Hueber and quarterbacks coach Kevin Rogers. But Childress made clear that "expertise" is more important than experience and ticked off a list of prominent coaches who started young; Pittsburgh coach Bill Cowher, for example, got his first NFL assistant job at 28, was a coordinator at 32 and a head coach at 35.
"Obviously, [Cowher] had an expertise and a way about him," Childress said. "I don't think you can get strapped by the age thing. Bobby Knight was named a head coach at a very young age. Those guys were given a lot tool-wise, and they've obviously took it and run with it."
Ferraro, meanwhile, has been a defensive coordinator at Bowling Green and Rutgers. But his stint last season as Carolina's assistant special teams coach was his first both in the NFL and on special teams.
"First of all," Childress said, "you understand it's mostly defensive guys on special teams. If you can coach, you can coach. That's one of the things [Carolina coach] John Fox said to me. He said, 'He's a football coach.' "
Childress had the pick of the NFL litter when the Vikings made him the first new coach of the 2006 offseason Jan. 6. And almost to a man, those picks now have offices in Winter Park.
Wednesday, Childress briefly displayed the two-deep of coaching candidates he presented to owner Zygi Wilf during the team's interview process. It included Darryl Wyatt as his top choice for receivers coach, Eric Bieniemy for running backs and Jimmie Johnson for tight ends. All three men recently served coaching internships with the Eagles while working as college assistants.
The list also included Hueber and assistant special teams coach Brian Murphy, former members of the Wisconsin staff Childress once worked on. The only first choice who turned him down was Nebraska defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove, but Childress quickly turned to Pagac.
"I'm kind of proud of that," Childress said. "When you look at that list that I presented to them, I delivered what I said I would deliver. And it's a good mix."Kentucky Vikes Fan
When you require nothing, you get nothing; when you expect nothing, you will find nothing; when you embrace nothing, all you will have is nothing.
Re: No Question Who's In Charge Of Vikings
I wonder if the other coaches razz Pagac for being the only second choice coach! :lol:
I agree with the expertise over experience...look no further than Cottrell...tons of experience but couldn't put it all together!BANNED OR DEAD...I'LL TAKE EITHER ONE
Re: No Question Who's In Charge Of Vikings
It's expertise that Childress knows and is familiar with. That alone adds another level of depth between himself and those working with him. There is plenty of experience on many other teams. However, the possibility of clashing egos from former head coaches comes with that experience.
Minnesota gains an advantage starting fresh.
Re: No Question Who's In Charge Of Vikings
Childress is the man, I hope his coaching is smooth as his words!The best part of my day is when I get down on my knees, with my head in my hands, and thank GOD for everything he has given me.
Re: No Question Who's In Charge Of Vikings
Finally an article that seems to validate our new coaching staff! It all looks good to me, and the best point made in that article was that the Vikings "had the pick of the NFL litter" for almost each coaching role during this cycle. I say Great Job Vikings!

Defensive promise in young coordinator
Author: Mike Wobschall
22 February 2006
Not a dull day has gone by at Winter Park over the last month and a half. With a new head coach, and consequently a brand new coaching staff, and all of the stadium talk, the Vikings organization has barely had time to breathe. New Head Coach Brad Childress was introduced on January 6th, just five days after the team's last regular season contest. And only four days after that, Childress and the Vikings selected 33-year old Mike Tomlin as the new defensive coordinator.
Since then, Childress has filled out his staff entirely, and the team has a plan and a vision for the 2006 season and beyond. Tomlin's hiring began somewhat of a trend in the NFL this off-season. Numerous coaches of relatively young ages were hired by teams, headlined by former New England Patriots assistant Eric Mangini, who is just 35-years old and is now the New York Jets newest head coach.
Childress and the Vikings show no concern, however, for their new defensive coordinator's young age.
"I think that as he teaches, there will be no doubt about him being an authoritative figure on exactly the way that he wants the defense played," Childress said.
Childress' respect for Tomlin has come after many coaching confrontations between the two when they were coaching in Philadelphia and Tampa Bay, respectively.
"We probably had a chance where I came from to play Tampa Bay as many times as anybody over the course of the last five years and have come to know the defense he is going to put on the field," Childress said.
Childress was the offensive coordinator for the Eagles and Tomlin was the defensive backs coach for defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin in Tampa Bay.
"We've had some epic battles here the last five years, so you come to know what style he is coaching and how his guys are playing," Childress said. "I think that's a direct reflection of the coach, how those guys play. I think if you were to go seek out, which I have at a few Pro Bowls, Ronde Barber or John Lynch or anybody that has played for him, I think you'd find out exactly how they feel about that guy."
Tomlin may be a little short on age, but he certainly isn't so on experience. A graduate of William and Mary, Tomlin will enter his sixth season in the NFL. He spent 2001-2005 as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive backs coach. Tomlin's backfields helped the Buccaneers defense rank among the league leaders over the past five seasons. In 2005, Tampa Bay led the NFL in total defense, allowing opponents just 277.8 yards per game. The number one ranking was the second time in Tomlin's five seasons that the Buccaneers led the league, the other coming in 2002. The Tampa Bay defense never fell below sixth (2001) and had a pair of fifth-place finishes (2003, 2004). The Buccaneer pass defense ranked first in the NFL in 2002 and 2004. Tomlin also helped the Buccaneers win Super Bowl XXXVII over the Oakland Raiders in 2003.
Prior to joining the Buccaneers, Tomlin spent two seasons as the defensive backs coach at the University of Cincinnati (1999-00). In 2000, the Bearcats ranked eighth in the nation in interceptions and fourth in total turnovers. Tomlin also spent two seasons at Arkansas State, coaching wide receivers in 1997 and defensive backs in 1998. He spent the 1996 season as a graduate assistant at the University of Memphis. Tomlin began his coaching career as the wide receivers coach at Virginia Military Institute.
Tomlin was a three-year starter at wide receiver for William and Mary (1992-94) and finished his career with 101 receptions for 2,046 yards and a school-record 20 touchdown catches. He was a first-team All-Yankee Conference selection in 1994. Tomlin was a teammate at William and Mary with Vikings safety Darren Sharper.
Tomlin is used to making adjustments during his career in football. After excelling at the wide receiver position as a player, Tomlin accepted a job coaching defensive backs in '98 at Arkansas State.
"At that time [of switching to coaching defensive backs] I enjoyed having the opportunity to explore what defensive football is about. It intrigued me," Tomlin said.
"As a guy that played receiver you were always concerned with things that they were doing and it became an interest of mine and it turned into a very serious passion of mine and I was able to make that transition back in Jonesville, Arkansas."
To go along with many tremendous team accomplishments in the NFL, Tomlin's players have also done extremely well under him. All-Pro cornerback Ronde Barber has earned three trips to Hawaii ('01,'04,'05) and safety John Lynch was selected to two Pro Bowls ('01,'02).
Going from Tampa Bay to Minnesota, Tomlin is excited to work with the same kind of talent.
"I know that they are a very talented crew. There are a bunch of young and exciting players," Tomlin said.
Veterans like Cory Chavous, Sharper and Antoine Winfield will gracefully pick up the style of defense that Tomlin wants to install. Also, a formidable defensive line will only add to what Tomlin hopes to accomplish as the leader of the Vikings defense.
It's been widely speculated that Tomlin and the defensive staff will want to implement the "Tampa 2" defense. This defense plays primarily a cover-two scheme, with two safeties over the top, keeping all plays in front of them. Tomlin insists, however, that the defense in Minnesota will be a scheme that fits the personnel here just as much as it is a replica of Kiffin's scheme in Tampa Bay.
"I think you go into a new situation with a mindset about what you want to do, but at the same time you do what the players are capable of doing," Tomlin said.
Tomlin has emphasized that he's not hung up and coming into a new situation and worrying about putting in a system with which he is familiar. Early in January at Tomlin's initial press conference, he stressed the fact that he was ready to work hard for Head Coach Childress and the organization.
"My willingness to work hard will help me contribute here," Tomlin said. "I think that in this profession you have to be willing to do that. You have to be willing to work with others, put yourself behind the cause and I am willing to do those things."
Childress has already gained the reputation of a no-nonsense guy, and his endorsement of Tomlin in such a short amount of time should speak volumes to Vikings fans. Looking back on Tomlin's time in Tampa Bay, Childress has nothing but the highest expectations for Tomlin.
"You can check the numbers and see where they finished," Childress said.
"Mike is a great teacher first and foremost and I think that is important with free agency and people moving in and out that you are able to communicate your thoughts and get those things in play on the field."
"You've got to remember, he replaced Herman Edwards (in Tampa Bay), who was a pretty good coach in his own right. Any time you replace somebody that is a good coach, people look at you just a little bit funny. You have to earn their respect and I think he did that in a very short period of time. From there, he actually took it to another level."
And that is what the Vikings are looking to do with their franchise in 2006 - take it to another level.

Re: No Question Who's In Charge Of Vikings
I think this is the begging of something really good for us.
Somewhat like an offensive line, we may have our ups and downs in the start, but the longer the season goes and the longer Childress coaches the team with the support and help of his young coaching crew, the stronger we will get.
I think this staff, based on coaching quality rather than age and experiance, will give Childress and his staff the chance to grow together and form the Vikings into a team that Childress believes can be a champion.
Personaly, the more I think about it, the more I believe this is more than not, just what we've needed here. A breath of new and clean air....
I for one, can't wait to see what kind of team and plan, Childress and his crew put on the field for us next season...
Thanks guys, nice but of reading there...
Re: No Question Who's In Charge Of Vikings
I like the fact that there is not a lot of experience of some levels. That way egos do not get involved and these guys are really going to try to leave a mark on their work which equates to a better and more productive football team.

Chickens picking!
My laying hens are starting to pick at each other pretty good. My old ones never did this. I tried to debeak them but they werent really having that and also there really isnt that much beak that looks like it can be trimmed off without hurting chicken. Maybe I should have done it sooner when they were younger. I went out and did my bantams no problem but there still pretty young. Has anyone ever used those metal bans that keep chickens from picking? I may have to try those, although it should be quite a day trying to get them on My uncle raises and shows pigeons and says he heard they sometimes pick because of a deficiency and that he heard feeding them some oats may help. Im gonna try this for sure being that that's much easier than catching and fighting a bunch of fiest hens. Not to mention the rooster, he doesnt like me messing with his ladies
This may help.
Why do chickens peck at each other & what can we do about it?
Chickens will peck for a number of reasons. They can be: too hot, too crowded, not enough fresh air or short of feeder or waterer space, or to establish the "leader" of the flock. To stop it, try fresh grass clippings, weeds, and lettuce in the pen. In cold weather, fresh hay works. Darken the hen house. Use milk blocks. As a last resort you can debeak, cutting 1/3rd of the top bill & just the tip of the bottom bill by using the Debeaker/Trimmer Other products offered to help prevent this problem are: Poly Peepers (like blinders), antipick lotions or sprays: Hot Pick

Video of Jo and Jason Isaacs at the British Book Awards Now AvailableJ.K. Rowling
April 07, 2006, 04:23 PM
Thanks to Andy from our forums, we now have two videos for you of Jo Rowling at the "Nibbies," the British Book Awards, where Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince won book of the year; one is a montage that shows and talks about her often and also features Jason Isaacs, who plays Lucius Malfoy; the other is of Jo's acceptance speech. They're available in WMV and MP4 (video iPod friendly) format (right click and save-as):
Arrivals montage (.mp4, 9.7MB, iPod friendly)We also have the transcript of Jo and Jason's appearances on this video:
Arrivals montage (.wmv, 15MB, Windows friendly)
Acceptance Speech (.mp4, 7.7MB, iPod friendly)
Acceptance Speech (.wmv, 12.5MB, Windows friendly)
Jo, in arrivals montage:
"The Nibbies mean a lot to me. I'm really happy to be here. I was first here nine years ago I think. And it was different. Far fewer cameras."
Jason Isaacs, in arrivals montage:
"In my experience writers are generally found on the floor in a pool of their own dribble, and I'm hoping to see a lot of well-known authors get horribly drunk."
Jo's acceptance speech:
"A Nibbie is the first award that Harry Potter ever won. That night I was wearing much cheaper shoes, and I've been terrified ever since sitting down, of having to come up here because these are coming off me. The publication of Harry Potter involves frank insanity, some of which is fun, some of which is just plain mad. Half-Blood Prince brought a lot of that, but in the middle of it all was a book that I was quite proud of, and that is really the best a writer can say - obviously, apart from, 'Look at the royalties.' [Laughter.] And the very last thing I would like to say is I would like to say to Alan Bennett: you think you've got it bad. This is a great opportunity to say, I know owls don't bloody well eat bacon. Thank you."
Thanks so much Andy!

Composite Panel Association, responds:
When a fastener enters wood, the fibers in the
fastener's path are displaced into air spaces that
surround each fiber. But MDF is a compressed
cellulose mixture; when a fastener enters it, the
material in the fastener's path has nowhere to go
but up and around the fastener and out —
the so-called "mushroom." The degree of mushrooming
that you get with MDF varies depending on the
particular type of MDF being used, and the size,
type, and design of your fasteners.
MDF actually comes in a range of densities,
which has an impact on how likely it is that
individual boards will mushroom when fasteners are
driven into them. For example, standard-grade
industrial board doesn't have a uniform density,
but typically is manufactured with a softer core
and harder outside surfaces, and is more prone to
mushrooming. On the other hand, because of the way
the fibers in molding-grade MDF have been
processed, the resulting substrate has uniform
density from surface to core. Puckers and mushrooms
are less likely to occur in molding-grade MDF
because the less-dense material at the site of the
nail head allows for more material expansion.
Slim, "needle-style" 18-gauge brad nails work
best in pneumatic nailers. Staples are also an
option; use fine-gauge, narrow, coated crown
staples with chisel points. To minimize puckering,
your nailer should be set to drive the fastener as
flush to the surface as possible. And for the most
consistent results, hold the nailer vertical to the
surface being nailed.
You can, of course, use screws with MDF. Be sure
to predrill pilot holes that are 85 percent to 90
percent the root-diameter of the screw and at least
equal in depth to the length of the screw,
countersink as necessary, and don't overtighten the
screws. Instead of using standard wood screws, use
special MDF screws, type A or AB sheet-metal
screws, Twin Fast screws, or fully threaded screws
designed for use in particleboard.
Finally, some finish carpenters recommend using
a sharp chisel to trim off any mushrooms that occur
when nailing MDF. This reduces scarring of the
surface and the amount of sanding or scraping
required to prepare MDF for a paint finish.
