Residents in Lithonia are concerned about a group of feral hogs roaming the streets.The hogs have been seen rummaging through garbage cans and scaring residents in a neighborhood near Rockbridge Road.Tanisha Danner said she first saw a hog in her yard on Monday morning after her children told her they were too afraid to go outside. "The kids said, 'Mom, we can't go to school.' And I said, 'Yeah, you can, you better get on that bus,' and she said, 'No mom, seriously, there is a pig in the front yard,'" Danner said. The kids took photos and shot video while trying not to get too close to the hog.Demarques Williams said the animal went hog wild on Stone Bridge Crescent on Tuesday morning.Danner said that officers from DeKalb Animal Control told her hog-catching was out of their league."I don't care who gets them, I don't care how they get them, just want to go outside and grill again. That would be perfect," Danner said. A wildlife catcher told FOX 5's Portia Bruner that it's not uncommon for hogs to linger in the area. Officials hope to try and catch the hogs on Wednesday morning.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

Re: Wheel tread width pics
A sprocket
Re: Wheel tread width pics
I cannot imagine the increadible force on the wheel/axle bearings with a tractor setup in this extremely wide setup. You can physically see the short length of the axle (distance from the inner and outer bearing) -vs- the distance from the axle flange to the tire tread center. I would think this would just destroy axle bearings with this setup.

Re: Wheel tread width pics
Would that sprocket possibly fit a John Blue Side Dresser? I know they used the sprockets mounted on the wheel center to drive them.
Re: Wheel tread width pics
Would you know what the sprocket on the PTO is for?
Re: Wheel tread width pics
I don't really know want the sprocket on the wheel was used for. I can count the teeth if it would help. I would sell it since I have no use for it if interested.
The sprocket on the pto may have been used for a sprayer since parts of the sprayer came with the tractor.

Re: Wheel tread width pics
Might want to clarify you're talking about the PTO sprocket and not the one on the wheel.
Re: Wheel tread width pics
Re: Wheel tread width pics
The Lo-boy I just picked up has a gear similar to that.
Somewhere along the line roll pins came into play to tighten it up a bit.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

"Caillou is sick. He has a fever and is coughing. Mommy takes good care of Caillou. She brings him lots of juice and rubs his back. 'Hold me tight, Mommy,' says Caillou."
Bookworm's interest at 18 months: We didn't quite make it through the whole thing, but he was definitely interested. In fact, he fake-coughed when Caillou was coughing!
"Dr. Lopez asks me to open my mouth wide and make an 'ahhh' sound so she can look at my throat. Make an 'ahhh' sound with me. Say 'Ahhh!'
Bookworm's interest at 18 months: He didn't make it very far when I first tried it. He has no idea who Dora is, though, and the text is geared for an older child (age 3-7).
"The nurse said, 'Now I'll check how well your heart is pumping blood through your body.' / She put a cuff on Jame's arm. 'It's like a small balloon,' she said. It became tighter and tighter as it filled with air."
Bookworm's interest at 18 months: He enjoyed the photos. The text is a bit advanced for him.
"The nurse had to give Grandma a shot. That's when Clifford decided to leave. He hates needles."
Bookworm's interest at 18 months: He's not a big Clifford fan (yet?), and this didn't really hold his attention much, but I'm going to try it another day. I think he might enjoy it if I make a big effort to explain what's going on more.

is making a contribution the national tour of the musical Cats by providing a new tracking scissor lift and control.
Opening in London in 1981, Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Cats is the longest-running musical in both London West End and New York Broadway theatre history. The first US national tour opened in 1983 and became the longest continuously touring show in US history
Recently completing a rebuild of the production to update equipment and allow more flexibility in tour schedules, Troika Entertainment employed Tomcat's expertise. Designing a specialized tracking scissor lift suitable for the new tour schedule, Tomcat built a unit that is less then half the weight of the original, can be used on a dance floor, and includes traveling casters which will fit on a truck ramp. The scissor lift is all-electric and incorporates lift chain technology, which eliminates the hydraulic fluid and pumps typically associated with scissor lifts. The Tomcat tracking scissor lift raises the Cats 1,000-pound junkyard tire with two performers while traveling downstage. The lift raises 72" above a stored height of 22" and tracks downstage on 8" moldon rubber over cast iron castors. Variable-speed control is included for both lift and drive axis.
With the 2003-2004 tour schedule including new venues and also shorter stays than could previously be accommodated, Troika is taking Cats on tour across the US. Troika Entertainment is a theatrical production company with over 15 years of experience in creating first class entertainment. Current productions include Cats, Starlight Express, Saturday Night Fever and an upcoming tour of The Sound of Music. Tomcat recently supplied a variable-speed computer controlled chain hoist system to Troika's Starlight Express.

---- — DERRY — It was a petting zoo without any animals.
Derry Public Library hosted a technology "petting zoo" to introduce patrons to iPads, Kindle, Nooks and other hand-held devices.
The library hosts a full schedule of technology events aimed at helping patrons learn all they can about technology, computers and getting a grasp on electronic basics.
The popular Technology Thursdays offer everything from a drop-in time for people to come in and ask questions to more formal Internet training sessions and computer skill workshops.
Library staff member Meryle Zusman led the technology event last week. She said people come to the library with all sorts of questions about computers and at all levels of expertise.
"These are some people that just need the basics," she said. "Some people don't even (know how to) hold a mouse."
Last week, patrons came to learn all about e-readers and smaller devices like the iPad.
Sisters Margie and Elizabeth Ives came together. Elizabeth Ives is also the head of the library's board of trustees.
"I'm here because I know nothing," Margie Ives said. "I can only go up."
Patron Arleen Potter said she enjoys what the library offers.
"The library has been offering these little sessions," she said.
She was anxious to learn more about some of the smaller electronic devices.
About nine people gathered around the table to touch the devices, play with them and learn the basics from Zusman.
"Everything is online," Zusman said. "People just need to know."
Margie Ives was very interested in the iPad. After seeing Zusman demonstrate the camera, keyboard skills, and all the other features, it became her favorite.
"This iPad could be the 'all' of devices," she said.
The library is proud of its Technology Thursdays, Zusman said. She said library staff members work hard to make sure programs like this are offered to keep people educated and aware of all that is available in book form and electronically.
"And it's a lot cleaner than a real zoo," Zusman said.
Derry Public Library's next Technology Thursday event is Sept. 5 with "Computers for Absolute Beginners from 6:30 to 8 p.m. On Sept. 12, a technology drop-in session is planned at 6:30 p.m. People can stop by the library to ask questions or find out how to use library databases and eBooks. On Sept. 19, the library hosts "Internet Basics" at 6:30 p.m. and on Sept. 26 another "Device Petting Zoo" is planned at 6:30 p.m.
Call the library for information at 432-6140.

About the Branch
The Tahoe City Library provides a cozy environment to browse books, find a movie for any mood, use one of our internet computers, enjoy the fireplace and get a little noisy in the separate children's area.
Tahoe City Library History
Anne Anderson started the Tahoe City Library in the mid 1930s by borrowing books from the County Library and friends in Tahoe City. Working as a volunteer, she circulated these books among Tahoe City residents. The first Tahoe City Branch Library was housed in the Tahoe Community Center which was dedicated in June 1938. Construction for a new library, which was designed and built by Norman Mayfield, began in June 1951. The Julia Bechdolt Memorial Library was dedicated on June 29, 1952. On December 15, 1973, O.V. Vernon presented $15,000.00 to Placer County to be used for a new branch library if construction began within one year. The site for the new branch library located at 740 North Lake Boulevard was constructed by Moana Corporation. Construction began in May 1975. The new building was dedicated on April 6, 1976.

The Georgia chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society kicked off their inaugural Savannah Man and Woman of the Year campaign Wednesday. They announced 11 Savannah professionals who will be competing over the next 10 weeks to raise money for the organization.
"For many of them, this campaign is very personal. A lot of them know or have been affected by individuals who have blood cancers or have lost their battle with blood cancer. For them, I think it is easier because it is so personal for others. I think it is equally as challenging," said Jean Doliber, campaign manager.
The candidates will be competing in honor of area children who are blood cancer survivors. For more information, visit www.mwoy.org/ga.

Mystery Blue is a heavy metal band from France. They formed in 1982 by "Frenzy" Philippon (Guitars) and have recently changed to a female fronted band.

This was highly viewed of a power heavy metal album and greatly respected by critics and fans alike.

MORRISVILLE — When the town started offering free English as a Second Language classes, everyone expected Indian-Americans and Latinos to take part.
But another group is showing the most interest: Chinese-Americans.
Morrisville is known for its large Asian-American population. The town has the highest concentration of Indian-Americans – about 20 percent – of any Wake County municipality.
But as the ESL program shows, Morrisville's Asian community is diverse. With 483 residents, Chinese-Americans are the second-largest ethnic group within the town's Asian demographic. (Morrisville also has 160 Korean-Americans, 158 Vietnamese-Americans, 100 Filipino-Americans and 67 Japanese-Americans.)
The Chinese-American community in the Triangle has grown nearly 80 percent over the past decade and now stands at more than 15,000. The region is home to nearly half of the Chinese-Americans in the state, according to U.S. Census data.
A group of investors attracted by the area's demographic plans to build a Chinatown in Morrisville, with retail stores and a cultural center at the Prime Outlets mall.
Learning a new language
Abbe Dutkiewicz, 62, was born in Taiwan and grew up speaking Chinese. This is the first time she's taken a class to learn English. Most of her knowledge of the language comes from her American husband.
Even so, Dutkiewicz is one of the more advanced English speakers in the Morrisville class.
"There's always more to learn. I want to read and speak better," she said. "I love the class."
The classes, which are offered four days a week, are run by volunteers; drop-ins are welcome.
The idea for the program started with Morrisville resident Lembe Tayilo, who used to volunteer with an ESL program in Washington, D.C.
After she took the town's Morrisville 101 citizen-education class last fall and learned more about the town's services, she wondered why there wasn't a free local program to help people learn English.
"I noticed the increase in the community of foreigners," she said. "I was noticing also that they did not speak English. I met a family from Africa, and they were asking me where to go for ESL classes and I didn't have an answer."
Tayilo talked to Town Councilman Steve Rao, who put her in touch with James Worsdale, the town's cultural resources specialist. Worsdale and Tayilo spent six months recruiting and training volunteers.
A community service
"I thought it was a great fit for the community," Worsdale said. "It's very much an international community, and it was a group we weren't serving."
Worsdale and Tayilo hope the program makes residents new to the English language feel more welcome. They also hope the classes will encourage people to take advantage of other town programs.
The program started in September, and classes average five to 10 students. Participants range from former engineers to school teachers, Tayilo said.
Not knowing the language has limited their job opportunities, Worsdale said.
Lina Na, 40, drives 30 minutes from Cary to take the class in hopes that a better grasp on the English language will improve her chances of landing a job. Na, a stay-at-home mom, used to drive a taxi in China.
"I'm a housewife now," she said. "I want to learn more in case I need to get a job. I want to learn everything."
Na even rallied her fellow class members to push for a longer class on Thursdays. She wanted an extra hour of instruction.
"It's wonderful," she said of the class.
Diane Bellamy, who teaches the class, said her students are inspirational.
"It gives me hope that I can learn a second language," she said.

Get a Grip on Sports Gear
As a mom of four sons, I used to find myself constantly tripping over balls, bats, helmets, and various other sports equipment the boys would leave lying around. Sometimes it was downright dangerous -- ever taken a "ride" on a misplaced tennis ball? Other times, it was annoying -- like when the straps from a knee pad, an elbow pad, and a wrist guard became hopelessly Velcro-ed and twisted together. And, once in a while, it was just plain gross -- like when my toddler decided to use his brother's athletic cup as a face mask.
I've learned that though it takes a little extra planning to keep all that stuff off the ground and garage floor, it's totally worth it in the end. These tips can help you keep your garage and basement looking presentable -- and save you annoyance and the "Ew!" factor in the future.
- Buy an over-the-door rack specially created for sports equipment at your local home improvement or department store. You can fit a surprising number of balls, bats, clubs, helmets, and other items on the shelves and hooks they provide.
- Use mesh bags to store balls of all sizes. They stretch to accommodate more balls -- and don't take up extra space when holding just a few. "You can also carry them with you to the field and then hang them up on a hook when you're back home," suggests Debbie Williams, author of "Organized Kidz," and founder of www.organizedtimes.com. You can find mesh bags at your local camping or sporting goods store. Don't want to make a special trip to the store? Try sorting each type of ball into a duffel bag, empty trash can, or wire basket. If you can't see what's inside, be sure to label the ball container and put it where the kids can easily get the balls out -- and put them away.
- Wall-mounted racks meant to hold mops, brooms, and other long-handled cleaning tools work great for keeping racquets, sticks, poles, and bats up off the floor.
- Peg it up. The pegboard didn't become Dad's toolshed standard for nothing: it's incredibly versatile and can hold anything from skateboards to shin guards.
- Stack golf clubs, hockey sticks, baseball bats, and anything with a long handle in a clean garbage can. Or, suggests Williams, turn a barstool upside down and use the legs as a "cage" for bats, clubs, poles, and racquets. This is an especially good option because it's compact and you can see what's there at a glance, says Williams.
- Use sturdy hooks in the garage, mudroom, or your child's room to hold helmets, gloves, mitts, and other smaller items.
- Keep a close eye on your kids to see what they're playing with at any given time, advises Mary Pankiewicz, professional organizer and author of "Clutter-Free & Organized." From time to time, separate their equipment into groups: things they've outgrown, things they're using right now, and things that they either haven't grown into yet or won't use until another season. Give away or sell the equipment they've outgrown, and put the things they'll use next year in a closet or your basement or attic (be sure to label it well). While you're at it, be sure to fix or get rid of any broken equipment. There's just no point keeping that flat basketball around if it won't hold air.

Now for the bad. This ship had absolutely the worst entertainment I have ever experienced on a cruise. The shows were REALLY bad. I thought the giant LED backgrounds were pretty cool as opposed to what some have said, but the entertainers were simply terrible. Carnival seems to have toned it down a little, but the Cruise Director announcements were constantly annoying. Our cabin was hot and we could not get it cool enough for us to sleep well. Our room steward did however provide us with a portable fan which helped. This was a Southern Caribbean cruise which visited Aruba, Curacao, & Dominican Republic. We were supposed to visit Grand Turk, but could not dock due to high winds. The rest of the ports were just OK. I much prefer the Eastern Caribbean Islands to these.
OK. Will I cruise with Carnival again? This was my 5th cruise with Carnival and it will probably be my last. It was ok, but we have also cruised with Celebrity and GREATLY prefer Celebrity to Carnival. For slightly more, you can do a Celebrity cruise. I will probably only choose Carnival again if it is something special or a deal that is too good to pass up. Carnival has also made me nervous considering all of the recent problems they are having with their ships.

Inbox: Sorting through third-base options
MLB.com's Thesier answers your Twins questions
First off I wanted to wish everyone a happy New Year. For the Twins, it's the start of a new decade in their new ballpark and there is certainly a lot of excitement surrounding 2010 as Opening Day at Target Field draws closer.The college football season is now officially over and that can only mean one thing: Spring Training is right around the corner. Just a little over six weeks remain until pitchers and catchers report in Fort Myers, Fla., and with the cold temperatures that have been battering the Upper Midwest, nothing sounds better than seeing some baseball under the warm Florida sun. But before I start daydreaming, let's dive into this week's round of questions in the Inbox. With the Red Sox signing Adrian Beltre, the Giants signing Juan Uribe and Mark DeRosa, and a trade with the Padres for third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff starting to seem unlikely, what other options do the Twins have for third base other than what is currently in the organization?
-- Robby W., Edina, Minn. Most of the talk in the media this week centered on whether or not the Twins might add another veteran starting pitcher, but the majority of the questions that I received from fans concerned the hole that still lingers at third base. It seems this is the position fans would rather see the club address right now rather than the rotation. Yes, Minnesota had interest in DeRosa and Beltre, but both players' price tags were higher than the club wanted to pay. San Diego also seems less inclined to trade Kouzmanoff right now, but that doesn't mean that there aren't other options out there. Last offseason, the Twins were patient in their pursuit and they wound up signing Joe Crede to a one-year deal that was a relative bargain during Spring Training. It seems the club is looking to do something similar this year. Crede once again is an option if he can prove to be healthy. Miguel Tejada is another infielder whose name has been linked with Minnesota, although so far I've had no indications that the club is interested in him. Just because some of the options have disappeared doesn't mean that the Twins won't find a fit -- they just seem more willing to wait and find a reasonably priced short-term stopgap until prospect Danny Valencia is ready to take over. The Twins said they wanted to sign Joe Mauer to a long-term deal by Christmas. It's after New Year's now and they still haven't gotten a deal done. Any news on that?
-- Aaron H., Burnsville, Minn.
Have a question about the Twins?
E-mail your query to MLB.com Twins beat reporter Rhett Bollinger for possible inclusion in a future Inbox column. Letters may be edited for brevity, length and/or content.
Going back to the whole Kouzmanoff thing, do you think if the Twins dangled Alexi Casilla as well as Glen Perkins that the Padres would bite? It would solve the third-base issue and what to do at second base with both Casilla and Nick Punto as options for the spot.
-- Harry G., Ledyard, Conn.
-- Bryan B., Alta, Iowa Watching Blyleven finish just five votes short of earning induction into Cooperstown this past week was frustrating for many Twins fans. The consensus of most people around baseball is that based on the close vote, Blyleven will see his dream of ending up in the Hall of Fame realized in 2011. But of course there is no guarantee, since voters have been unpredictable and some can change their votes. Bert has given credit to people like Rich Lederer of baseballanalysts.com and Bill Hillsman, who runs bertbelongs.com, for helping his vote totals to increase in recent years. Those Web sites have put together statistical analysis to help support the case for Blyleven to be in the Hall of Fame. There are also stories of fans of Andre Dawson who sent informational packets to the BBWAA voters who have a Hall of Fame vote to make their case for Dawson -- based on stats, analysis, etc. -- and as we all know, Dawson was finally elected this time. So fans can have an impact on the balloting, and from talking with Bert this week, I know he appreciates all the efforts on his behalf. I saw a rumor that a Francisco Liriano for Jose Lopez of the Mariners trade might be in the works, Any truth to that?
-- Bradley M., Golden Valley, Minn. This is the time of year when rumors abound. I was told by a Twins source that this particular rumor had no validity and I'm only addressing it here to use it as an example that rumors must be taken with some sort of skepticism. Some rumors do wind up to be true, but there are many that don't stick around for long. If there's news to report, we'd have a story about it. Are the Twins having another Winter Caravan this year? If so, when will the dates/times be announced?
-- Jason G., Moorhead, Minn. The dates for the Twins' 50th annual Winter Caravan were announced this week. There will be four legs (Northwest, South, Central, and Southwest) headed out this year, running from Jan. 18-28 and making stops in more than 50 communities. Current Twins players who will participate in this year's caravan include pitchers Nick Blackburn, Matt Guerrier, Pat Neshek, Jesse Crain and Jeff Manship; infielder Matt Tolbert; outfielders Jason Kubel and Denard Span and shortstop J.J. Hardy. Gardenhire and hitting coach Joe Vavra will also take part, along with Twins great Tony Oliva. A more detailed schedule for the Caravan can be found right here.

The limited edition run of Von Zipper's Frostbyte frames is at it again, this time with a little something different for those searching great deals on high fashion. There's no doubting that the Von Zipper CLETUS Frostbyte White & Purple Sunglasses are some of the hottest frames out there, ready to battle the coolest climates – whether that coolness is coming from the Alpine slopes of a hardcore snowboarding course, or the outfit you've picked out for today. Those who jam in the Limited Edition Frostbyte Von Zipper CLETUS frames are prepared for any instance of style. The WHITEOUT PURPLE and METEOR GLO color schemes for the VZ frames and lenses really stand out in a world of old-school black and bland sunglasses. Von Zipper rocks the combination of vintage style and high-tech performance thanks to the enhanced 100% UV protected polycarbonate lenses. A glossy coating across these white frames will draw attention, even while blasting through the snowcaps or running down the beach.
Don't just take our word on how stylish, sophisticated, and durable Von Zipper's are. The fashionistas over at Women's Health Magazine recently showcased the Frostbyte White & Purple CLETUS sunglasses in their "Fashion Feed" section for this upcoming summer's style outlook. The right looks call for a pair of sunglasses that fit the dimensions of your face to perfection. Thanks to Von Zipper's oversized modern take on that classic design, and the base-6 spherical lenses sized perfectly into every pair, you'll be the talk of the beach, pool-side bar, or ski slope. This unisex collection from Von Zipper starts at just $90 (USD) and is guaranteed to please, thanks to excellent craftsmanship and the promise of happiness when you shop Replace My Contacts.
Do the Von Zipper CLETUS Frostbyte White & Purple Sunglasses come with UV protection lenses standard?
You bet! Every pair of Von Zipper sunglasses offers high levels of UV protection to those who wear them. The Von Zipper CLETUS frames are ready to protect you from all harmful UV rays with 100% UV Protection. Wear them with confidence!
Say, what exactly do they make the Von Zipper CLETUS Frostbyte frames out of anyway?
The CLETUS line of Frostbyte frames is made with a nylon-infused plastic material. Whoa, what's all that mean? Simply put – these nylon / plastic frames are extremely durable. You can heat them up, wear them in the freezing cold, toss them all over, watch them fall from your face. It's all good. This material can handle more extreme temperature changes than you average pair of sunglasses. They're also surprisingly flexible, while stiff enough to form to your face and keep you looking stylish.
How do I clean my Von Zipper CLETUS Frostbyte Edition sunglasses?
So, we've told you how tough the Von Zipper sunglasses are, but that doesn't mean you should wear them in the shower or pour that dark blue window glass cleaner all over them. You should wipe any pair of Von Zipper sunglasses regularly with a smooth cloth, removing any dust, dirt or grease. Use a specialized lens cleaner, available in most eyewear retail stores or through our site, to clean the lenses. Harsher chemicals like dish soaps can remove the gloss off of the frame, or damage the UV protection coating from the lenses. Take care of the Von Zipper CLETUS Frostbyte White Purple Sunglasses and they'll take care of you.

CATEGORIES Drama, Casting, DIY/Filmmaking, Politics, Movies, CinematicalDo you like being second best? I don't, but when it comes to lead in a Chris Noonan film, I'd say fine -- so be it. Renee Zellweger definitely didn't have a problem with it -- as far as we know -- since she took the lead in the well-received Miss Potter. Apparently, Zellweger was not at all Noonan's first choice for the lead; instead, it was the brilliant Cate Blanchett whom Noonan adores. Noonan even considers Blanchett to be equivalent to one of Hollywood's greatest actresses, Katherine Hepburn, whom Blanchett portrayed in The Aviator.
What was the reason for Blanchett's departure from the film? She had the role originally but was forced to give it up for an unreported reason -- but she was as reluctant to give up the role as Noonan was for letting her go. Apparently, Blanchett begged for him to postpone production, but Noonan put it perfectly when he said: "the machine won't stand still."
Even though Zellweger was runner-up for the part of Beatrix Potter, director Noonan was not disappointed in her performance or the end result of the film. Perhaps it was a happy accident for Noonan as he discovered Zellweger to be a joy to work with. The West Australian quotes Noonan describing Zellweger as humble: "She is not a star and doesn't play a star. So you lose the Renee Zellweger when she is playing Beatrix Potter and I think that is remarkable." We all know the saying: as one door closes another one opens -- and as one great actress must decline an incredible project, another remarkable actress must step in.

A while ago, one of our sons was talking with some of his friends. The friends were angry as they felt that a young lady had mistreated our son. They asked him, "Why don't you ever say anything bad about her?" Our son's response? "My dad wouldn't, so I don't." Wow.
I often tell teenagers that someone who bashes an ex will someday bash them, too. I encourage them to observe how a potential romantic partner treats other people, especially past friends and loves.
This test could be applied to any relationship, in any phase of life. To me, a true measure of a person is how they react to the word "No." Upon hearing it, do they reject whoever uttered it? Launch a smear campaign on that person? Walk out, perhaps?
What about hurt? I am learning that the question isn't whether we will get hurt, but what will the hurt reveal? Will our relationship survive betrayal? And what if I am the inflictor? Am I brave enough to stay and mend the break? I can't say which role is more comfortable for me, forgiver or forgiven. They are both tough, and my natural inclination is to bail. I have, however, been forgiven by some of the best people I know. And I hated it. I hated that I hurt them. I hated that I was exposed. But I am honored to wear their forgiveness.
What about breakups? How easy is it to accept that we are no longer wanted? I find that human nature demands a final score for any breakup; a winner and a loser. When two people part, though, it usually has something to do with both of them, and mostly that something is only between the two of them. Rumors and side-taking blur the real issue; that two people loved and lost and have to go on. Would blame change any of that?

BOSTON (AP) - The state Senate has joined the House in rejecting a change proposed by Gov. Deval Patrick in a transportation financing bill, setting the stage for a likely veto by the governor.
The Senate voted 29-9 to approve an amendment that makes technical changes. But it doesn't include Patrick's proposal for a gasoline tax increase to offset the loss of revenue if tolls on the western portion of the Massachusetts Turnpike come down in 2017.
Patrick reiterated Thursday he would veto the bill if it returns to his desk without that provision.
But the margins in both the House and Senate would be enough to override a veto.
The bill calls for about $500 million in new taxes, including a 3 cent increase in the gas tax and a $1 per pack increase in the cigarette tax.

April brings the annual migration of horse racing enthusiasts to Lexington, Ky. Myself included! A new year starts the countdown. Every day is a day closer to the moment I will walk Keeneland's elegant stone walls; when I will reverently greet the towering sycamore, placing my hand against it as I pass by. It is another year gone, another year older - for both of us. Keeneland is my "ground zero." However, there is a plethora of incredible experiences waiting to be discovered beyond the historic Keene grounds. Here are a just few of my favorites:
Keeneland offers a great race-day experience for fans young and old. The facility and its employees warmly welcome guests not only for racing, but also morning workouts, where families can get a glimpse of action "behind the scenes." Aside from race-day action, a visitor can also enjoy a hearty southern breakfast alongside the sport's major figures at the track kitchen or brush up on racing history at the Keeneland Library. Guided and self-guided tours of the track are also offered. Parking is free, but there is gate admission to the track. The Library is open to the public free of charge.
For more details, visit: http://www.keeneland.com/discover
The centenarian Claiborne Farm symbolizes the American Thoroughbred. Dozens of racing legends have called the farm's yellow and white shedrows their home. In the 1970s, fans from across America toured the farm for a glimpse of Secretariat, while European racegoers flocked to see 1970 English Triple Crown winner Nijinsky II. The Hancock family still breeds and raises Thoroughbreds on the property and visitors are welcome to visit the farm to see their favorite stallions, including the farm's homebred Blame, who famously upset Zenyatta in the 2010 Breeders' Cup Classic. Tours are free of charge and reservations are required. The tour guides are wonderful – make sure to show your appreciation by offering a tip to your guide at the end of the tour!
For more details, visit: http://www.claibornefarm.com/

Undoubtedly many who made journey to visit Secretariat and Nijinsky II made a point to visit the Kentucky Horse Park, which opened in 1978. Situated in Georgetown, the Kentucky Horse Park welcomes horse-lovers of all forms to take in the surreal beauty of a passion brought to life. There are the graves of heroes such as 1987 Kentucky Derby winner Alysheba or Man o' War and his Triple Crown-winning son, War Admiral, here, open for visitation. A life-size bronze monument of the Polish Arabian great Bask greets all who enter the International Museum of the Horse, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institute that is the largest and most comprehensive museum focused on the history of horses. One can observe living modern history in the Kentucky Horse Park's Hall of Champions show that includes Kentucky Derby winner Go for Gin, Hall of Famer Cigar, two-time Breeders' Cup Mile winner Da Hoss, and near-Triple Crown winner and American celebrity Funny Cide. There is a gate admission to the park.

While Lexington holds the title as "Thoroughbred Central," the nearby town of Georgetown stakes claim to a couple significant stops for racing enthusiasts. In addition to the Kentucky Horse Park, Georgetown is also home to Old Friends – a retirement farm for racehorses and pensioned breeding horses. Founded by Michael Blowen in 2003, Old Friends is the only Thoroughbred rescue/retirement farm concentrating on stallions. (However, Old Friends also cares for mares and geldings.) Through a single year, 20,000 guests enjoy visiting highly influential Breeders' Cup winners and Eclipse Award winners such as Gulch and Sunshine Forever. Tourists are welcomed to the farm daily, reservations are required.
For more details, visit: http://www.oldfriendsequine.org/default.aspx

A winding road through the finest of the Lexington Bluegrass leads you to WinStar Farm's stallion complex, the home to some of the greatest current breeding horses standing at stud. Manicured and colorful with flowers, the barn warmly welcomes its many visitors to see its inhabitants. Guests enter the lobby and can admire the timeless memorabilia adorning the walls such as Well Armed's Dubai World Cup saddle pad and halters from their top horses. The tour begins with a video of Tiznow's two consecutive Breeders' Cup wins over European competition, showing him as the only horse to take two Breeders' Cup Classics. Then comes the opportunity to see 'America's Horse' in the flesh: the visitors are led into the stabling area where he awaits. After Tiznow is returned to his stall, guests can see the farm's other stars in their own stalls and tour the breeding shed. Free admission and reservations are required.

POLAND - Marco DeLorenzo is quickly building his reputation as one of the top defenders in the area.
Friday night he only enhanced that title by limiting Jacob Wolfe, Poland's leading scorer, to five points.
But equally important was the fact that the senior demonstrated he was not a one-trick pony. DeLorenzo scored 11 of his game-high 15 points in the third quarter to help his team to a six-point advantage despite the fact the Bulldogs shot 75 percent from the field in the frame. Disheartened and disheveled, Poland was no match for the Cardinals down the stretch as the visitors emerged with a 54-35 victory in front of a raucous, playoff-like crowd.
"We don't need him to score," Canfield coach Todd Muckleroy said. "But it's nice when he decides he's going to. He always plays a solid defensive game. But to have him hit those 3s really catapulted us."
Canfield (9-1) won its ninth-straight game after a season-opening loss to Uniontown Lake. The Cards are 5-0 in the All-American Conference, American Division. Poland suffered its first loss of the season, dropping to 9-1, 4-1.
"I'm really disappointed," Poland coach Ken Grisdale said. "We made more mental mistakes in that game than in the first nine games combined. But give Canfield a ton of credit. They came to kick our (butts) and they did."
Early on it looked like the butt-kicking would go the other way. The Bulldogs raced out to an 8-0 lead and it could have been much worse. Poland had several empty possessions that could have blown the game open early.
By quarter's end the Cards were within 10-8 and their in-your-face, man-to-man defense had begun to assert itself. By halftime, the visitors had taken a 17-15 lead and Poland looked like a tired team.
It was difficult to pick what was most impressive for Canfield, holding Poland to 35 points, winning by 19, or keeping Wolfe to a season-low output.
"I would say holding them to 35," Muckleroy said. "Our kids take a lot of pride in their defense. They're finally starting to believe that you can win with defense, even after we fell behind at the start."
When Poland got shots in the third quarter it made the most of it. But the problem all night was trying to get them against the Cards' defense. The Bulldogs had 24 turnovers on the night including seven in the quarter. DeLorenzo closed out the scoring by nailing a 3-pointer from the right wing with three seconds remaining.
"The DeLorenzo kid did a great job on (Wolfe)," Grisdale said. "Then he goes out in the third quarter, and hits three threes. Those were daggers."
Still very much within striking reach, it wouldn't take the Bulldogs long to get out of it. The fourth quarter began with consecutive buckets by John Schiraldi and DeLorenzo, and Canfield methodically pulled away from that point.
"It was big," DeLorenzo said of his third-quarter offensive output. "We just try to work as a team, spread people out, and tonight was my night. I pride myself (in good defense). I have done that for two years. I just try to outwork every player I play against."
Grisdale's biggest issue was that he felt the Cardinals outworked his team all night.
"They were awesome; they did a great job," he said of Canfield. "But we cowered to it. I hadn't seen that out of our kids. I hope it was a mirage. We have to get back to work and make sure they understand we're not going to accept poor execution and lazy play."
DeLorenzo was the only player in double figures for either team. He also added three steals and two assists. Andrew Midgley had eight points and Jarret Vrabel pulled down six rebounds for the winners. Kevin White paced Poland with nine points while Wolfe led his team with 12 rebounds and five assists.

(WTOL) - Severe weather week has special meaning to students in Lake Township after an E-F Four Tornado destroyed their high school last summer.
The students have been taking their classes in another building they refer to as "the hangar." Lake High School Guidance Counselor, Bill Pixler, said for the most part everyone has moved on.
"We've settled in our routine and students come and go between classes like they would have in our other building," said Pixler.
With severe weather back again, students and faculty prepare in case another tornado hits. Lake High School Superintendent, Jim Witt, said Wednesday that the students will do their first mandatory tornado drill since the real thing happened in June.
" I'm sure that in many people's minds and stomachs, there will be a little knot tomorrow when those sirens go off and there will probably be some memories that come rushing back," said Witt.
Memories school leaders say they are ready to help the students tackle because it is that bond that has gotten them this far already.

I've been using and loving my June Birchbox! Let me tell you all about it…
What did you get in your Birchbox? Have you not tried Birchbox yet? Go HERE NOW.
The title makes it sound sadder than it is. After all, the word "My" is deceptive, for I never truly felt like My Glam Bag was MINE. I kept thinking I wanted something entirely different.
Last month I got my first My Glam Bag, and thought, "meh." This month I got another bag, and again thought, "meh", but in a different way.
Let's go through the good, the bad, and the meh.
First of all, I thought the bag was cute this month. Love the abstract flowers in orange, green, blue and purple. Also, the brands were higher-end, which addressed my complaint last month. There were two samples from Murad, one from Keracolor, and one from Pur-lisse. The bonus was a decent shader eye shadow brush and case. I actually have a shader brush which is softer; I think mine is natural hair and this one is synthetic.
And now on to my issue with this month's bag. It's entitled "0.17, 0.14, 0.015, and 0.17." Those are the fluid ounces included, respectively, in my samples for Keracolor Color Enhancing Leave-in Treatment, Pur-lisse Essential Daily Moisturizer (MORE MOISTURIZER!), Murad Eye Lift Perfector, and Murad Absolute Bronzing Booster. Tiny, tiny samples! If I stopped by Sephora, they would give me samples that size or larger for free. Plus, even if I could use them more than once, foil sachets don't keep their contents once they're open. The only thing in a decent sample container is the bronzer, and I don't bronze! I'm too white–it makes me look like I rolled in red clay. I got a coupon for Dermstore, but again, it's a "spend to save" deal–buy $50 worth, get $25 off. I tried to go on the site last night, and it kept freezing up on me. I may buy some things I would buy anyway to use the coupon, but not necessarily.
Basically, there were no full-size products in this bag, no makeup products (which is why I signed up) except for the bronzer which I don't want, and the "deluxe size" samples are anything but. It just isn't good value for my money.
So Birchbox wins my hard-earned product sample money! Yay, Birchbox!
My video host, Vimeo, gives options of stills from your video to use as a cover image for that video. Apparently there was no time in this video where my mouth was not open, and I was not looking like lunatic with a manifesto. So…something to look forward to.
Also, Vimeo is awesome.
Short answer: no.
I made a little video to explain My Glam Bag, take a look at the products, and talk about my expectations vs. my reality.
I finally got around to reviewing my products from my November Birchbox. It was a pretty good month. But I still wish I got that pop rocks chocolate some people got in their box instead of paper letterpress coasters.
And here are the letterpress coasters I was talking about:
Note that I hiccuped at the end, but didn't bother to edit it out. I was nearly done, so couldn't be bothered.
'Cause it's not a Friday night until I've embarrassed myself.
At least tonight I didn't offer to assault a certain celebrity trainer's leg on Twitter…
I shot this video today, then waited six hours for it to upload. However, I'm proud to say this post was 100% created on the iPad. Yay! Enjoy my review!
Another video from me to you!
September Birchbox Review from Furnished Souls on Vimeo.
Check out my former Birchbox Reviews by searching "Birchbox" at the bottom of the page.
I'm back! I haven't abandoned this blog, I promise. And the first thing I wanted to do is a review of the Birchbox products I got the other day. This week I have a great idea that is going to be across multiple posts, so I'm excited with that. And then eventually I'll have a fantastic guest blogger talking about her favorite things. Hang in there with me!
Furnished Souls–August Birchbox Review from Furnished Souls on Vimeo.
Two new things today! My first ever video blog (be kind!), complete with a new Furnished Souls Vimeo channel in case I get in the habit; and my first Birchbox review! It was too long, and I had to edit it, and I seem to have chosen the strangest expressions to cut on. *Sigh* (Oh, and FYI–I messed up my statistics. The sample Zoya bottle was 0.25 fluid oz.–the regular bottles are 0.50 fluid oz.)

2 breweries prepare to open in Broomfield
Last Updated: 16:05 February 20, 2014
Wonderland Brewing Co. LLC at 5450 W. 120th Ave. plans to open its taproom April 1, and 4 Noses Brewing LLC is planning to open its tasting room sometime in April at 8855 W. 116th Ave.
The openings come almost two years after Big Choice Brewing began pouring beer in its Broomfield taproom. Brewpubs C.B. and Potts, and Gordon Biersch also have operations in Broomfield.
Wonderland and 4 Noses could be brewing beer onsite within the next two weeks, and both are going big.
While many of the area's breweries have started their operations with three- or five-barrel systems, 4 Noses is going with a 20-barrel operation.
"We have this set up for growth," said Tommy Bibliowicz, who is co-founding 4 Noses with his father, Natan; mother, Jessica; and brother David. "It took a little bit extra to be able to pull it off. But we did, and we hope we can grab an interesting corner of the market out here in Broomfield."
4 Noses is leasing nearly 6,900 square feet that was unfinished. The three-year-old building also houses a Canine Rehabilitation and Conditioning Group branch and a Whole Pets pet store. The owners of Aspen Arbor Animal Hospital, which is in a building next door, also own the building 4 Noses is in.
4 Noses will include a 65-person tasting room as well as an outdoor patio, and Bibliowicz hopes to begin distributing kegs early on. Bibliowicz, 25, who recently went through the University of California Davis's master brewers program, will be brewmaster. The company will employ one other brewer, but probably fewer than five employees to start.
Bibliowicz declined to disclose startup costs, but said the funds have come from the family as well as loans. Bibliowicz's mother will help out on the business side of things, while dad and brother, who are both architects, did much of the design for the build-out.
"We got the opportunity to completely build it out as we wanted to," Bibliowicz said.
Wonderland, meanwhile, has a major build-out of its own going.
Owner Robert Lucero and a former partner in the brewery paid $1.325 million last summer for a four-acre property near the intersection of Sheridan Boulevard and 120th Avenue. The property was home to Westminster Church of the Nazarene and includes a house, an outbuilding, 94 parking spaces and six outdoor basketball courts in addition to the 9,500-square-foot former church building that Wonderland is converting to a brewery.
Lucero, who is in the process of bringing a new business partner aboard, said the plan is for Wonderland to become an event space in addition to the brewery, hosting everything from farmer's markets to brew festivals to corporate events and weddings.
In addition to his own funds, Lucero said much of the land purchase and startup costs for Wonderland were financed with a Small Business Administration Loan. Lucero, 45, spent 15 years in the construction industry - working on high-rise projects, theme parks and even New Belgium's brewhouse in Fort Collins - before getting the idea of starting his own brewery.
Lucero will handle the business side of Wonderland, and has hired Joshua Willett, formerly of Wynkoop Brewing Co. in Denver and Fort Collins Brewery, to be lead brewer. Wonderland is going with a 10-barrel brewing system to start.
"Every time I went to a new brewery, a year later, they were like, 'Whoa, we're out of space,'" Lucero said. "So I wanted to try to avoid that if I could."
Still, Lucero said Wonderland will only self-distribute a bit locally. The major focus is on bringing people to Wonderland, which will have a 3,500-square-foot taproom complete with music stage and pingpong parlor. He said the business will employ about 10 people when it opens.
"I never envisioned it was going to be this big," he said. "It just worked out that way."
