Ghost Hunting Equipment Giveaway
October 4, 2011 | Posted By: Heather Stephens | Categorized in: FatWallet
What do you get when you combine 4 wacky walleteers, a box of ghost hunting equipment, too much mountain dew, and an old building? An adventure to the "dark side!" Wanna come with?
Of course you do, because we're giving away all our Ghost Hunting Gadgets to one lucky winner! Read the post for details! :)
Most of us FatWallet employees are afraid to go into the spooky unoccupied portion of the building we're renting. It's a dark, full of cobwebs, and so many tiny rooms and winding hallways that it's easy to get turned around and lost. Aside from the servers that power the FatWallet office, there's nothing over there. (Or is there?)
Four of our brave coworkers decided to have some fun in the office testing ghost hunting equipment on a trip to the "dark side" of the office and document it on video for us all to enjoy!
Ghost Hunting Equipment:But before we get into the videos, here's a list of the most commonly used equipment for a Ghost Hunt:
1. Night Vision Goggles with Flip-out Lights
"Look sharp the next time you go to Laser Tag with these "Night Vision Goggles" from Meritline with retractable LED lights on either side of these nifty-looking shades!"
2. Spy Vision Night Vision Infrared Stealth Binoculars
"They may be packaged as toys, but these Night Vision Infrared Stealth Binoculars actually let you see fairly well in the dark, with your choice of Call of Duty green, Predator red and security camera blue! "
3. Micro Headlamps
"As an entire afternoon of Walleteers blinding one another will attest, these Micro Headlamps are quite bright!"
4. The Ghost Meter EMF Sensor
"The instructions may be written on the back of an AP news article and the box even include a dubious stock offer, but this Ghost Meter does a great job picking electromagnetic fields ghosts leave behind!"
5. Panasonic Voice Recorder with Built-In Memory
"Whether you are trying to perform an EVP test for nearby spirits or just trying to remember what your history professor said, this Panasonic Voice Recorder has you covered!"
6. Ultra U12-40856 Carbon Noise Isolating Earbuds
"Want to tune out trick-er-treaters? Fortunately, these Ultra Carbon Earbuds are noise-isolating, giving you the perfect way to enjoy your Halloween free of treats (but maybe not tricks if you don't give 'em candy)."
7. Mini-Ghost Hunting Kit
"This trio of motion and vibration sensors is ideal for catching both ghosts and the occasional burglar in you're lucky!"
Want to get your hands on this Ghost Hunting Equipment? You're in luck, because we're giving it all away to one lucky person! Details are at the end of the post!
Ghost Hunting LocationsIf you're not "lucky" enough to work in a building with a creepy dark side to explore, but you want to create your own "Scooby Doo" type of adventure, here are some resources you can use to find locations that claim to have paranormal activity near you.

I lived next to an Native American burial mound. That should be enough to infer how life would have been growing up. But if not, there was always someone home with you, just not in a physical body.

My son and I went to a Ghost Tour in Bardstown, KY. When we were upstairs in the Old Talbott Tavern, several things happened. Both chandeliers flickered and one went completely off twice when prompted, and also one of the doors slammed shut for no reason. We are so interested in ghost hunting now!

Me and a cousin of mine were out riding as young teens do on a Saturday Night and We rode out to a Place called Summerfield, We continued down a dirt road until we reached the end and could go no further. At the end was a house with a driveway that sloped down but a. I made a turnaround and Me and My cousin Ray caught a glimpse of something behind us, Ray said it had red eyes all I saw was a blackish face. Hairs stood on back of our necks and We high tailed out of there as fast as My little Nissan could go. Later that week we went back to figure out what we might have seen. During the daytime I might note and there at the beginning of the driveway were two yellowish brick pillars and an upside down cross on each one. We never went back after that but to this day We know what we saw but can't explain it because nobody would dare believe Us. Do You believe in evil? I do.

Two men were walking home after a Halloween party and decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery just for laughs. Right in the middle of the cemetery they were startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the misty shadows.
Trembling with fear, they found an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the headstones.
"Holy cow, Mister," one of them said after catching his breath, "You scared us half to death -- we thought you were a ghost! What are you doing working here so late at night?"
"Those fools!" the old man grumbled. "They misspelled my name!"

We always knew that our house had something in it. When I moved back in with my mother when I was 12 after my father passed away. Little stuff started happen, I would hear something walking around in the upstairs bedrooms and talking. One night I woke up from a dead sleep to hear a man and woman talking to eachother, I thought my mom left a tv on in the house. I took a walk around the house to find that there was no tv left on.

My family and I, along with a bunch of friends, had taken our caravan of motorhomes out to an abandoned gypsum mining town named Midland. The purpose of the trip was so the guys could ride their dirtbikes. Midland is out in the California desert and their is still evidence that the town exsisted. The concrete pads from the school and homes, the furnaces from the gypsum factory and even the unburied trash from the old dump remain. It is very quiet in the desert in the winter. The crosses on the hill from the grave sites looked down on us. This place just had a really creepy feel to me. I tried to put it out of my mind, thinking to myself, it was all in my head because I know this is an abandoned town. Until the last day we were there. My husband and I were taking to a friend who was packing up to leave. I got cold so I ran in the motorhome to grab a sweatshirt. I went inside, slammed the door behind me, grabbed the sweatshirt, threw it over my head and proceded to exit the RV. When I reached for the door handle, before i could grab it, the lever turned down all by itself and the door opened for me. Completely stunned the only thing I could think to do was say, thank you as I walked out the door and slammed it behind me. I didn't tell my hubby until we got home. He also thought that Midland was a pretty creepy place.

When my daughter was around 2 she told me she had a friend who use to come visit her. Thinking nothing of it, I didn't question it... Finally one day I was going threw pictures with a friend of mine when she pointed at one of the pictures and told me that was her friend that would visit her. Mind you it was a picture of my cousin Mike who had passed 2 years before she was born. I asked her if he had a name and she told "Yeah. It's Mike." I was speechless.

When my brother was 2 years old, we were at our church, and I was busy with choir or something upstairs. My mother had let my 2yr old brother take the camera to take pics of what he saw (he was very intuitive, and saw a lot of unexplainable things at that age especially. He took one photo, which I still have sitting today on my dresser--it has an angel peeking from around the door, and a kachina clapping and dancing like they do, right in front of him! This is not a spooky story as much as it is a comforting one, but it is amazing! They are somewhat transparent, but very clear nonetheless.

My entry:
We live in an old New England Farmhouse, Circa 1800's. The upstairs has two bedrooms and a bath. It is unoccupied. We frequently hear footsteps upstairs and sometimes we also faintly hear music up there.
My daughter came home for an overnight visit and stayed upstairs. The next morning she said she thought it was cute that I took out a CD of the group she had gone to see with her soon to be husband, and that it was nice that I had taken out an old calendar from 2010 that showed the mansion in Newport, R.I that her future husband proposed to her in only just recently. I told her I did neither of those things. Who did???? We have always known that there is a friendly spirit residing with us. Now I guess he/she feels like he/she is part of the family, getting involved in congratulating my daughter on her engagement in their own special way.

I am 63 years old. When I was in elementary school, I went to a church school. Some of us used to go from the school into the church to practice singing.
One morning, 3 of use were in the narthex of the church. We were just chatting. Suddenly, all 3 of us saw a transparent figure that looked like the former pastor who had recently died!! Needless to say, we ran running and screaming out of the church. Of course, we were told that it was just in our minds since there was a portrait of the pastor in the narthex but all 3 of us saw him and it was not just a upper body portrait like in the church but a whole body image.

Now that is a fun prize pack. About the worst thing I did was buy an annoy-a-tron and put it above the drop ceiling of my hard-of-hearing boss. He kept turning off his hearing aid so everyone ended up shouting at him all day until he got pissed and went home. We all went home a few minutes later.

True Story(Funny Legend Born): So when I was a kid my parents moved back to the old country, Greece, for a number of years. We were living in my grandfather's house in a small village of Kounoupidiana in Crete, Greece. The village had maybe 30-40 houses. One convenience kiosk, a Kafeneo's and that was about it. A Kafeneo is a coffee shop where old men sit around drink wine & coffee, play backgammon and cards because there is nothing else to do. The village had no street lights and it was a rainy night. really late, way after dinner, and most likely my beditme, we needed to get home, since it almost never rains, no one really has umbrellas. This night was particularly stormy and windy. Our hosts gave us black plastic garbage bags to were to get home. The five of us went out in the rain and ran home. Right past the Kafeneo. The next day, the heavily inebriated old men drinking and playing cards the night we ran past, were telling stories to the rest of the town folk about how there were multiple "devils" running through the streets during the storm. It is still a quote funny story. Although now the only two people there that night that are still alive and know the truth are my dad and myself.

When my husband died, I was just overcome with grief. For about a year it felt as if I had a rock in my chest... that's how the grief had manifested itself physically in me. His nickname was "Doggie", but I never called him that. One day I came home from work and checked my messages on the answering machine. I had a strange call... at first no one said anything, then I heard "Say something, Doggie!"... then there was rustling noise, then it ended. The person talking sounded like an old friend of my husband who had disappeared years before. I played it over and over, wondering why he didn't say anything. I kept that message for years. It gave me comfort that (even though he didn't speak) he was thinking of me.

To FatWallet Personnel... Have you ever walked through the Rockton grave yard in the middle of the night?....Need I say more?
Ok I will... When I was dating my now husband, he wanted to take me on a hike along the river. But to get there you had to go across the damn which is located on the other side of the graveyard ... SO, to get there you have to walk THROUGH the graveyard. Well, this walk was around 11pm in the evening. It was my first time in that graveyard as I was not from the area at the time. The whole walk, my eyes were wide open and darting everywhere, looking for the movement of anything at all. I think there was a pretty bright moon that night and there was a clear heaviness in the are that just demanded that one be creeped out. We crossed the damn and began our walk along the river, crossing over onto a little island that is normally covered with water. We leaned against a tree while talking and looking at the sky and moonlight when suddenly a shiver ran down my spine and I could swear someone or thing was watching us.... Do you think this was just a date tactic to get the girl?...lol >> Even though, this remains a fun and good memory and we still venture out on that same walk, only now it is most often during the day!.... Thanks FatWallet & happy ghost hunting!

When we were little we lived in this old farm house. At the top of the stairs was a bathroom (just basically thrown together type, nothing fancy) and sometimes you would see the light in the bathroom on when you walked passed the staircase downstairs, when you walked passed again the light was off, no one else was upstairs or in the home when stuff like this was going on. (many other things happened there too)

True Story: When I was around 8 yrs old, we lived in an old cape cod style house (sloped walls with storage in those areas). I had my own room, and we'd been living in the house for around 3 yrs when I started noticing strange things. It started small. I used to wake on weekend mornings after my parents usually, I would wait till I heard them downstairs and then come down..usually to a eggs and bacon breakfast. My clue that they were up was usually shuffling noises and the smell of coffee. One Saturday I was laying in bed waiting to hear noises downstairs. I heard the fridge door open and close, something moving around on the counter and after a few minutes, I smelled coffee. I got up and noticed my parents door was closed....odd. I sat at the top of the stairs for a second before going down. The lights were off and suddenly the smell of coffee was gone. I went on downstairs and when I got there, all the lights were off and nobody was there.
There were several instances like that, strange things happening, weird feelings, but the one that topped it all was the full body aparation. I had moved my bed around so that it was along the outside wall, with the foot of the bed parallel to the closet door. In other words I had a perfect view of the closet. I had been waking up in the morning to my closet door being open after I knew I had shut it the night before. One night in particular I had gotten up to go to the bathroom. I got back in bed (around 3am) and pulled the covers up. I lay there for a few minutes awake when I heard the door handle on the closet click. I opened my eyes and noticed the door was slowly opening. I was absolutely PETRIFIED and quickly threw a pillow over my head and pulled the blankets up to my eyes. I watched in horror as the door swung all the way open and a luminous, billowy form drifted out of the closet....across my room and past the foot of my bed and out the wall (exterior wall). There was a bit of a shape to the form, but not much, parts seemed to get brighter and duller, but it never touched the ground.
After the ghost passed out the wall I lay there immobile for a few minutes, then I jumped up and ran to my parents room. I absolutely refused to sleep in my room for the next 5 nights, choosing instead to sleep on my parents floor. My parents finally made me go back to my room (I was 8 after all), but not before I made my dad nail shut the short storage door that was in my closet. I also made him put a hook and eye lock on the closet door so I could shut it from the outside. They did this to make me happy, and for many years after that I just had vague feelings that I wasn't alone in the house. We finally moved when I was 12 and I haven't experienced those feelings since.

I was very sick, in the hospital and am absolutely positive that I was with my already deceased grandma. My head on her lap, I kept telling her I didn't want to leave her but no words were exchanged. She lightly brushed my hair with her fingers and told me that I had to go. Not scary but the closest I have ever been.

We lived in a small, old, single story house. My mother told me that one of my relatives had died in the room where I slept. One night when I was 12 years old, while I was lying awake in bed, I heard footsteps like someone was walking in the attic. The footstep sounds came toward my bed and stopped directly over my head. Then I heard a noise like someone had dropped a brick or a large rock to fall through the ceiling and hit me. I was too scared to jump out of bed into a dark room or scream.Don't know how i even slept that night. When I was older I went into the attc but I didn't see anything. The house has since been torn down.

Growing up, my room was upstairs and the bed always shook a little...sort of like rattling. I thought it to be the house settling but was there recently and it still does. I'm sure there's a legit explanation but still creeps me out.

My kids and I watch every ghost hunting type of show we can get our eyes on so winning this would be so fantastic. Ok, my story isn't very dramatic but it's the best I have. A few years after my husband I got married we found out a friend of ours who had been instrumental in our getting together had taken his own life. I took it worse than my husband tho I wasn't as close to him. One evening we were hanging out in different rooms at home and I was listening to music the friend had introduced me to, in honor of him. I suddenly felt very calm and aware and watched a shadow that should not have been there pass across my coffee table. I have always been terrified of the idea of ghosts and have only within the last 5 years been able to watch Ghosty things. My calm reaction to this occurrence is still puzzling to me. I can't say it was his presence but I certainly experienced something I could not logically explain. When I told my husband about it, instead of picking on me for being silly or dramatic he simply said " sorry I missed you, bud".

My Uncle was murdered several years ago. I was at my cousins house (his daughter) and we were in the living room talking. She and her son (uncles grandson) lived with my uncle before he was killed. Her son was very close to him. We looked over and noticed he was sitting at a table coloring in another room and he was talking. My cousin asked him who he was talking to. He said he was talking to his grandpa who was sitting there coloring with him. She asked him what he had said. He told her that grandpa said not to cry because he is still there with him. He also said it's ok for him to keep his glasses when they come. That mommy will not want him to have them since his blood is on them but it's ok. The next morning in the mail, a package came and it was my uncles glasses. He was shot in the face and the glasses were all twisted up and had his blood on them just like "grandpa" told the little boy.

I just moved into a smalltown in upper wisconsin to stay by my grandma untill I got my own place and a job. Well I found one and I started dating this guy that I meet. Well me, my boyfriend, his brother and his wife all rented this old house. The house was over 100 yrs old and a beautifull old house with3 bedrooms and a dinningroom,livingroom,ect. Anyways we couldn't afford to have a phone hook up yet but we did have to phone. Anyways, we were all sitting in the dinningroom when all of a sudden the phone started to ring. We all glancled at each other and kind of freaked out sice the phone wasn't even plugged in. We all left for a while and went across the street to the tavern. When we got back everything was ok. Now our bedroom up upstairs in the attic. The attic was divided into 2 parts.There was a door that divided the rooms. On the other side of the door was some old letters from a son who was in the civil war to his mother, and some old clothes. I saw a really cool pair of old boots that the mother must of worn, well I tried them on and they fit, so I wore them. Thats when more things startewd to happen. We always kept the door closed.Well about a week later we were going up the stairs to our room when something was pushing me with great force. My boyfirend was right behind me and he was holding me up asking me whats going on. Now We both just got off of work so we were going up stairs to change clothes. Well this happened alot to us, so I wouldn't go up stairs by myself. Then during the nite the door between our room and the other part of the attic started opening up by its self and slamming close, we had a light that had a twin attached to it to turn it on and off. Well we would reach for it and the light would turn on by itself and off. SO that was enough for us. Plus I put the boots back and the letters. We moved to the bedroom down stairs, but to get to the attic you had to go through our bedroom to go up to the attic since the attic door was in our bedroom. Well we were in bed one night when we heard someone coming down the steps and the door nob turning. We turned on the lights and watched the door wait for what ever to come through, but no one did. So the next day we put the dresser against the door. That same night we heard the foot steps coming down the stairs agin and the door nob moving. The dresser fit tight against the door. Well as we were watching the door, we heard the nob on the door aagressively trying to open and the sound of someone trying to push open the door. Then you heard someone stomping back up the stairs. Well for about 3 weeks we didn't hear anything. So we thought that everything was alright. Well me, my husband to be now, his brother and his wife decided to paint the kitchen and bathroom. When we got done we all went across the street to the tavernj and have a few drinks and play pool. about 2 hours later, we all left at the same time and went into the kitchen and bathroom to check out how it looked. We were all standing in the kitchen with a look of surpise on our face. On the kitchen floor was soot foot prints that went from the kitchen into the bathroom. So we went into the bathroom to see where the prints went to and on the ceiling above the tub was this big hand print with soot on it and in the tub was a foot print with soot on it. Now non of us had soot on our shoes, and the foot prints where way bigger then our feet. The strange part to this was the foot prints didn't walk back out. They just ended right there in the tub. Well, that made us all dicide to move out. After a month we ran into the owner of the house and asked him about the house. He told us that no one ever stayed there any loner then 3 months, and he knew that it was haunted, well at least he heard that it was. Now this is a true story.

How many can you make with one recipe?
Your website is beautiful and laid out so easy to maneuver in. You have worked hard to create and organize many dishes that i cannot wait to try. Have you come across a substitute to use in your bread recipes to replace Irish Moss? Besides being vegan, we avoid soy, yeasts, molds, fungus/mushrooms/spore bearing things.
I will continue to glean from your experience. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiments with us as well as your family.
Love your site! finding it really made my day! It has everything I wanted to know. Thank you so much for sharing it..
I was wondering.. i this burger bun recipe, can agar agar be use instead of irish moss? How should it be made?
Could you be more specific on how many buns this recipe yields? I know you said it depends on the size of the bun when someone else asked you the same question. But can you tell us how many buns you got, with this recipe? That will be a guide for those of us who make enough for a week. Thanks so much.
I made these today, and a significant portion of the batter remained stuck to the mesh-sheet when the maximum dehydrating time (8 hours) was finished, and the bun disintegrated. Did you mean Teflex sheet in your instructions in the recipe? Your recipe says to dehydrate using the mesh sheet, but I lost about a third of the batter doing so.
Amie-Sue, many thanks! I didn't press the buns, but I did resolve to use the teflex for the first few hours of dehydrating next time, and once the top has dried somewhat, then flip to the mesh.
The recipe's wonderful, though. Congratulations & thanks for being so generous & sharing with us. I used garlic & onion powder because I wanted a savory bread, and prune paste in lieu of the dates. Also, I used agar-agar instead of Irish moss, since I don't like the strong taste irish moss imparts to a dish. But the quantities (for agar-agar and prunes) were the same as your recipe. Thanks again–I'm off to make one of your fudges.
Hi Amie Sue, I'm just researching raw eating and was wondering what dehydrator do you use? Thanks for all the great dishes. I can't wait to get started. Also can you use the Irish Moss gel in place of the agar agar? Thanks again!
What's in the French garden seasoning? I want to try and throw something together myself instead of buying it.
I love the recipes you've posted. I've tried the banana walnut bread and it's delicious. I can't wait to try the others…. My herb store only sells the cut dried Irish Moss that can be powdered in your blender. Can this be used in your recipes or is it best to buy the packaged version? If not I'll just purchase it on line. Thank you, Pam
Hi Amie-sue
Is it possible to replace the oats with amaranth?
Hello Grant, Please let me know how was the amaranth instead of oat. How did you use it raw? Soak it?
I obtained irish moss powder from the bulk section of a local health food store. So, can you please let me know how much of the powder I would use in place of the half-cup of irish moss gel? I once used this irish moss powder to make raw pie filling and it tasted like fish. I must have used way too much. I ended up having to throw the filling out. thanks so much for all your help and your absolutely delicious raw recipes.
Hello Amie-Sue
I am so happy to have found your web site! It is absolutely amazing and the pictures make my mouth water just looking at them. I do not have a dehydrator but would love to make these buns. Can I do so in the oven at its lowest temperature. If so how long would it take and should the oven door be open? Thanks so much for all your inspiration and love you give on this site!
Hi Amie Sue!
I have been wanting to make this recipe for some time now and I'm finally getting to it. All of your recipes have worked so wonderfully for me and really helped to advance me in my commitment to this healthy life-changing way of nurturing myself!
Is the amount used for the Irish Moss the gel measurement or the measurement after being soaked and before making it into a gel?
Thank you as always for your help and guidance and for your generosity! Your willingness to teach as well as share is such an amazing gift. It can't be easy keeping up with all of us!
Sincerely yours,
Hello again Amie Sue!
You can scratch my previous question. I was working from my iPad earlier and the link would not work when I clicked on Irish Moss…it worked when I got to my computer though and I saw it was your recipe for the paste! Thank you so much for your time. I am about to get started! I hope you are having a beautiful summer!
Always, Renay
I can't find the irish moss in Scotland where I'm living, can I use someting else? it will be good anyway without, or is an essential ingridient ?

Scapegoat The Burnside Jacket
4-star: 0
3-star: 0
2-star: 0
1-star: 0
Excellent fit, fabric is very functional and looks…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $150
Excellent fit, fabric is very functional and looks nice too. A nice technical piece that transitions well from office to trail. Nice touches like soft fleece near the chin and on the shoulders, nice workmanship, extremely well made.
- Attention to little details
- Excellent fit
- Lining slips over any layer
- Prana purchased the company and then killed the brand. Really tragic, they made nice stuff.
- No longer available unless you are lucky enough to come across old stock.
- Fit of hood is a little awkward.
Fits well, even those with ample chests. Comfortable to move in.
Drawstring cord at bottom to seal out drafts, cuffs are not adjustable, but the function fine as is.
Very water-resistant fabric that has a nice texture and soft hand.
Not the most breathable, no pit vents but the concealed vent on the back yoke does a great job.
Lining works well with and layer underneath.
Seems to be quite durable.
Pockets function well and are of nice size and placement.
Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
When foul weather hits, keep dry in Scapegoat's Burnside Jacket, aptly named for a dry spot beneath a bridge. Whether biking or hiking, keep dry in the Bone Dry Barrier membrane under the tough polyester shell that's treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish that makes water roll right off while you stay comfy beneath strategically placed welded microfleece comfort and warmth panels.
- Mountain Gear refers to the men's version
The Burnside Jacket by Scapegoat Outwear is a fully waterproof jacket made with an innovative japanese waterproof/breathable membrane called Bone-Dry Barrier. The Burnside is fully seam sealed and for extra protection has a weatherproof center front zipper for those windy rain days. On the inside of the jacket you get a warm, comfy micro polar fleece that has a brushed face and anti-pill finish with welded body contact point for incredible durability. A fully technical jacket but so good looking it can actually be worn out and about to nice dinners, fancy operas or just the local holiday party. Scapegoat is a company that has partnered with prAna - one of the most successful climbing/yoga clothing companies in the industry. With this sort of background in making clothing, Scapegoat stepped it up a notch with full outdoor apparel that has awesome style, not just great technical function.
- RockCreek refers to the men's version
Scapegoat gave the Mens Burnside Jacket a soft microfleece lining to add an extra touch of warmth and comfort, so you can concentrate on riding and not worry about anything else. If a big storm rolls in, youll be stoked on the fresh snow and wont have stress over getting wet thanks to the Burnside Jackets waterproof breathable Bone-Dry Barrier. Scapegoat also had the foresight to add an easily accessible internal media pocket, so you can get to your iPod and always have the right track playing. After all, you dont want to drop into the terrain park and have your tunes switch to Enya.
- Backcountry Outlet refers to the men's version
Scapegoat The Burnside Jacket
The Burnside Jacket has been discontinued.previously retailed for:
$88.49 - $294.95

Ambulance chief started career in Dengie
3:00pm Thursday 20th February 2014 in Local News
The new ambulance service chief in charge of recruiting extra paramedics started his career in Burnham.
Anthony Marsh, chief executive of the East of England Ambulance Service, said he was aware of the challenges posed by the rural nature of the district.
He met MP John Whittingdale last week to discuss his idea for tethering an ambulance to the Dengie.
Mr Marsh, who took up his post last month, has also worked as a paramedic in Maldon and South Woodham Ferrers.
The service is recruiting 400 student paramedics - receiving more than 2,500 applications in under three weeks - at a cost of about £10million.
And 200 ambulances will be replaced and the fleet increased by about 50 to 350 by the end of the year.

Carolina Panthers
DeAngelo Williams - #34 - RB
|5' 9"/ 215 lbs.
|Wynne, AR
|Years played
|2006, 1st round, 27th pick by Panthers
Davis' injury gives Connor chance to start for Panthers
Panthers WLB Thomas Davis' torn ACL, which could keep him from playing in 2010, has created an opportunity for third-year LB Dan Connor.
WR Muhammad announces retirement
Former Panthers and Bears WR Muhsin Muhammad announced his retirement Thursday after 14 NFL seasons.
Panthers LB Davis tears ACL
Panthers WLB Thomas Davis tore his right ACL for the second time in seven months during OTAs Tuesday and he could miss the entire 2010 season.
Panthers' Marshall, Davis sign tenders
CB Richard Marshall and WLB Thomas Davis decided to sign their restricted free-agent tenders Tuesday.
Key deadline approaching for Panthers CB Marshall
Panthers CB Richard Marshall has yet to sign his restricted free-agent tender for $1.759 million, but he'll likely do so before June 15, which is when Carolina can reduce its offer to 110 percent of his 2009 base ...
Schedule must be weighed in predicting outcomes
Don't tell me the schedule doesn't matter in the NFL. Here's a look at teams that will benefit the most and be hindered the most by whom they play this season.
Depth at safety could become an issue for Panthers
Carolina doesn't exactly have a strong Plan B if the new starting safety tandem of Charles Godfrey and Sherrod Martin doesn't stay healthy or performs poorly.
Panthers QB Moore still expected to open season as starter
Reports indicate rookie Jimmy Clausen turned heads in his first minicamp and could push Matt Moore for the starting spot in training camp, but we hear the job is still Moore's to lose.
Vets feeling heat with rookies on board
The draft is in the rearview mirror, but here are five veteran players who could be looking over their shoulders with rookies gunning for their jobs.
Bears trade LB Williams to Panthers for S Harris
Continuing to work hard to fill their most glaring need, the Bears acquired S Chris Harris from the Panthers in exchange for LB Jamar Williams Tuesday afternoon.
2010 draft choices by team: Panthers
Here are the players who were chosen by the Carolina Panthers in the 2010 NFL draft.
Panthers make Clausen QB of the future
The Panthers missed out on the buzz of Day One with no first-round pick, but they made up for it with their top selection Friday, setting off a thunderous reaction from the crowd in Radio City Music Hall.
Panthers DE Brown bulking up for Year Two
The debate over whether the Panthers were wise to trade their 2010 first-round pick to draft DE Everette Brown in the second round last year simmers as Brown prepares for his second season.
Panthers expected to fill need at receiver early in draft
GM Marty Hurney has failed to find a young complementary receiver to pair with Steve Smith in his tenure and it long has been a glaring need.
Panthers not looking to break up Stewart-Williams backfield
There were rumors earlier this offseason that the Panthers were interested in trading RB DeAngelo Williams, but head coach John Fox shot down that talk this week.
Williams closed the season by setting a franchise record with a career-best 210 yards rushing and two touchdowns in Carolina's 44-38 win over the New Orleans Saints.||||||| Williams started the team's final five games with Stewart out with a high ankle sprain. Carolina won four of those.
With with Jonathan Stewart sustaining a high ankle sprain in Monday night's win over Philadelphia, coach Ron Rivera said Williams could be thrust back into the starting lineup against the Chiefs (1-10) on Sunday.||||||| The Panthers gave Williams a five-year, $43 million deal before the 2011 season, but the 29-year-old running back hasn't come close to producing the type of numbers that would warrant such a big contract. He ran for 836 yards and seven touchdowns in 2011, but this year has just 292 yards rushing and three TDs. He is a low-end No. 2 fantasy RB at best.
Although the Panthers are open to listening to all trade offers, coach Ron Rivera said they aren't actively shopping any of their players. That includes, he said, the franchise's all-time leading rusher, Williams.||||||| That doesn't mean it won't happen, of course. Williams, who signed a five-year, $41.5 million contract in 2011, was benched two weeks ago for Jonathan Stewart and has been a non-factor in the offense since.
Coach Ron Rivera said in an effort to shake things up the Panthers are moving away from their long-standing philosophy of rotating Williams and Jonathan Stewart. Rivera said the Panthers will instead look to "find one guy, develop a rhythm and if he gets hot, ride him" against Chicago Sunday.||||||| That philosophy essentially began last week against Dallas, although it was hard to notice as neither tailback got rolling in a 19-14 loss. Stewart replaced Williams as the starter and finished with 35 yards on 10 carries. Williams played five snaps and carried twice for 4 yards. Newton led the team in rushing with 64 yards. Rivera said Stewart will start again Sunday against a physical Bears defense
Williams had 12 carries for 44 yards along with a two-yard reception Sunday in a 31-17 loss at NFC South rival Atlanta.||||||| This is Cam Newton's show now in Carolina. That has diminished the value of Williams and fellow tailback Jonathan Stewart.

If the Jets expose the Patriots' defensive line on Sunday the way other teams have this season, it could spell the end of New England's run.

The rookie drafted in the second round from Florida will be eligible to rejoin the active roster after the finale at home against Miami, and would be eligible for the playoffs.

The No. 1 seed Chicago Bulls hit the road for Game 3 of their series against the No. 8 seed Philadelphia 76ers on Friday evening, looking to take back home court advantage. The Bulls played their first game without Derrick Rose on Tuesday night, and it did not go well as the Sixers evened the series with a convincing 17-point win.
C.J. Watson and John Lucas III combined for 27 points in Rose's absence, but the Sixers backcourt had their way with the Bulls defense on the other end. Jrue Holiday led all scorers with 26 points while Lou Williams added 20 off the bench, as Doug Collins mixed up his rotation in an effort to even up the series. Chicago, which has consistently rated as one of the best defenses in the league under Tom Thibodeau, will look to shore up the defense without Rose and to get back on top of the series with a Game 3 win. Schedule and broadcast information below:
Game Date/Time: Friday, 8:00 p.m. ET
Venue: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, Pa.

KINGMAN, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities in northwestern Arizona say a Kingman man is in custody for allegedly luring a minor for sexual exploitation.
Kingman police say 30-year-old Michael Gerad Keith was arrested Thursday afternoon at his workplace and has been booked into the Mohave County Jail.
The arrest came after Kingman Unified School District officials reported information to a school resource officer that had been brought to them by an eighth-grade student.
Investigators found Keith had "friended" several eighth-grade female students on Facebook and allegedly was grooming a 14-year-old girl.
Police say the texting began early last month. Investigators served a search warrant at Keith's home and seized computers, cell phones and electronic devices.
Police didn't immediately know Friday whether Keith has an attorney yet.

Five years after telling a bunch of angry apes to keep their filthy paws off him, Charlton Heston starred in Soylent Green. In the film, a megacorporation solves a starving world's need for nutritious food by turning the dead into dinner. This is complete science fiction, of course: Most of us are so short on key nutrients we couldn't possibly be someone's square meal.
In fact, studies show that 77 percent of men don't take in enough magnesium, that many of us are deficient in vitamin D, and that the vitamin B12 in our diets may be undermined by a common heartburn medication. And we haven't even mentioned our problems with potassium and iodine.

Aria Hotel featured at Austin American Statesman
Posted by karabcovam under Uncategorized
Comments Off
By Becca Hensley
The walls don't talk at Prague's Aria Hotel they sing. Or, in some cases, they emit euphonious melodies, release dulcet string trio tones, expel an occasional canorous crescendo perhaps even spew an unplugged pizzicato. You might not heed the cacophony at first, but sit down in the lobby of this music-themed hotel, delicately entrenched in the ancient Malá Strana district, and you're certain to hear something.
Of Mozart, who adored Prague and visited first as a child prodigy, Emperor Joseph II said, "Too many notes." The people of Prague disagreed and rejoiced when he premiered "Don Giovanni" in the city in 1787. Today, Aria Hotel honors him with a two-bedroom suite that overlooks
the Baroque, Eden-like Vrtbovska Garden, a UNESCO-listed World Heritage site. A vision of romantic interiors, the Mozart room has surround-sound stereo, controlled by a computer program loaded with Mozart music. A painting depicting Mozart adorns the wall. Mozart would have expected nothing less: He always said Prague was the only city that truly understood him.
But Mozart's not the only musician celebrated at Aria Hotel. The 52-room hotel takes the history of music, a history closely tied to Prague itself, very seriously. The Czech kingdom, after all, was the musical heartbeat of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Re: DSCF 2012
Well we came up I-75 to avoid the I 65 construction. We stopped in Norris Tennessee for the night. Traffic advisories were saying both northbound lanes of I 75 were blocked about 50 miles north of Knoxville. So we figured it was a good time to stop. It was snowing when we pulled off so I guess tomorrow morning might be interesting!
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Re: DSCF 2012
The Spiveys and Kodiak were home safe about 2:30 this afternoon, after a short stop in Gillsville and 2 slowdowns on I-85. What was it with the interstate's this weekend? Only misty rain for us to drive through, no snow or any other weather surprise. Thanks for a great DSCF, we are already counting the days until next years event.

Re: DSCF 2012
Well, I ALMOST made it all the way to Chapel Hill (about 2 hours out), after leaving around 6am, but as it was getting dark, the snow started and I hit a construction zone...visibility went way down, so I got a motel room and will ease on in tomorrow morning. Good thing I am retired and thus have no real schedule! Thanks again everyone and see you next year, if not sooner at another Cubfest!

Re: DSCF 2012
Well, I didn't want my original post to be too long, so I'm just going to add to this thread.
A guy could not have better co-host than Billy Ray, Raymond, Jim and Tim. What a wonderful group of guys and great helpers. And Thanks to their families for supporting them and us. You guys are the best!!
As all of you that have your own CubFest know, the work at the event is just a small part of it. These guys have been helping us for several weeks to plan this event and make it happen. And they will be back next week to do more work.
And my good buddy Raymond spent most of the day with me today, cleaning up and, yes, working on a tractor. He had lunch with me and Ms. E and we had a wonderful visit. See you soon, pal.
We can hardly wait till next year to see all of you again and share some more good Southern hospitality with you.

Re: DSCF 2012
Though I wasn't physically in attendance, I did watch things from home, as I could. I wish to thank Barnyard for his efforts in bringing a little of the fun into the homes of those left behind. Maybe next year... Thanks again, Bill, and all those in attendance. ( the hosts too!)
Re: DSCF 2012
We made it home at 1300 today; easy drive except for the mist. As usual, Sam complained the whole time about not having enough to eat; then raved about how awesome the weekend was when he got home.
Thanks to the great hosts and families for putting on the event as well as everyone who helped out with our project. We got a ton done on that old thing!
I even learned a bit about planters from the experts:

Re: DSCF 2012
My thanks to Mr. E for hosting and Barnyard for going to all the time and trouble to allow a few of us to really enjoy the DSCF in the comfort of our homes. While true we missed out -- and missed out on meeting everyone in person and missed out on Mikes special cooking, you guys did make us especially feel welcome and we appreciate it. Many thanks. It could have only been more fun by actually being there!

I really hit the rain about an hour after I headed west on I-10. It was really raining for about 1/2 hour. Then there was off and on drizzle the rest of the way to Mobile. Today was pretty uneventful and I got in here a little after 7 PM.
I really enjoyed the event. Thanks not only to the organizers but to everyone that contributed. I know there were some in attendance that I didn't get a chance to talk with, some that I did were pretty brief conversations.
Re: DSCF 2012
Thanks for attending, Jim. I really enjoyed meeting you and chatting with you several times during the event.
No rain here today. Wind was really rough all day, though. Overcast and warm. Muggy at times.

Bill we forgot to tell you when I was driving like I told you on the phone we were gaining on you. Well the speedometer would not go pass 69 MPH. Then it started going south. I told larry to get the Garmin where it shows how fast we are going. Well its a wander I didnt get a ticket thats why we were gaining on you. Well the speedo took a crap like mine did. GM & other car company's have had problems. We made it home safe.

Re: DSCF 2012
WOW!!! What a great CubFest!!!! I had a great time and look forward to next year.
Mr. Roy, pick the date, for next year, so I can put it on my calendar.

Re: DSCF 2012
Thank you, Roy and all, for the great time. The food and hospitality were wonderful and the warm weather sure beat what is up here in Ohio.
Candy and I got in last evening to 28 degrees. It was 18 degrees this morning. We drove 200 miles up toward I-65 on Rt. 231 in very hard rain and wind on Saturday evening. That wasn't a good road in that weather. Lots of hydroplaning through there. After we got to I-65 we stopped for the night and finished yesterday. The I-65 detour was a non-event. About 10 miles off then back on. Probably cost us 20 minutes. From what I've read and Darrell's report I'm glad we didn't go I-75. Saw a little snow in the grass in Tennessee and then it cleared up for the rest of the way home. I think we just skirted the east edge of the snow and ice.

Thank you Mr E for hosting such a wonderful fest. I also want to thank the other folks who helped put this event together and made it so enjoyable. I was finally able to meet most of the guys who have been so very helpful to me since I've joined the forum. It was really great meeting all of y'all! And the food? I like to have hurt myself! Haha
Looking forward to next year!
Re: DSCF 2012
My turn to add a thanks to all the hosts, especially Roy and Mary for all the hard work they put in before and after the Cubfest. I think I had my share of peanuts, although I could have eaten more if the meals hadn't been so good. Tallahasse didn't want me to leave, my flight was changed and instead of arriving in Denver at 2:50 PM, I didn't make it in until 8:20 PM. Had a blast as usual and am looking forward to the next one (both this year and the next DSCF). I'm glad that those of you who were driving didn't have any worse problems.

OK i finally got to a computer hook up. We are still in Fort Walton Beach, will leave in the morning for home.
A big thank you to Mr E And Ms Mary and the rest of the co sponsers. We had a wounderfull time and have reservations for next year. I had fun cooking and teaching Cinday Gray how to cook in a Dutch oven. Michelle and I had a great time.

A Roseville man who spent six months impersonating employees of SureWest Communications, driving a company car and using a stolen SureWest credit card has been sent to state prison for 10 years and four months.
Preston Douglas Vandeburgh, 27, who pleaded guilty last month to five felony charges, was given the sentence today by Placer County Superior Court Judge Robert P. McElhany.
The charges include burglary, identity theft, unlawful taking of a vehicle, computer fraud and possession of credit card information with a prior conviction for identity theft.
In addition, Vandeburgh admitted to enhancements of having a previous strike for burglary and of having served a prior prison sentence.
"Since he pled to a strike, Mr. Vandeburgh will have to serve 80 percent of his 10-year term, meaning he will serve a little over eight years in prison," Deputy District Attorney Rick Opich said.
Vandeburgh broke into SureWest offices in June 2008, taking equipment and confidential information belonging to employees. Using phony identification, the defendant occasionally came onto the SureWest campus, posing as an employee, Opich said.
The scheme ended in December when SureWest officials detected someone using one of their computers, which had been stolen, at an address in the city. Police went to the home, found numerous SureWest items taken in a burglary at the company offices and arrested Vandeburgh, Opich said.

How to Find the Mattress of Your Dreams
A good mattress can mean the difference between hearty sleep and hardly sleeping. But trying to choose among the array of new styles and innovations is enough to make a weary consumer fall onto her lumpy bed in despair.
"Ideally, you want a mattress that allows the spine to assume a position of comfort, without any stress or strain," says Scott D. Boden, MD, director of the Emory Spine Center, in Atlanta. Popular wisdom had long held that this called for a firm mattress. But one study shows that those who sleep on medium-firm surfaces report less back pain than those who sleep on the firmest mattresses.
So how do you choose a mattress that's right for you? "Consumers should be sure to lie down on the mattress in their typical sleep position," says Nancy Blatt, executive director of the Better Sleep Council. "You can't judge a mattress by sitting on the edge of the bed." And because lying on a mattress in a store for 10 minutes may not be the best way to choose something you'll be in intimate contact with for the next 10 years, you might want to, well, sleep on it. Some mattress companies let you test their product at home.
Many mattress innovations have hit the market recently, promising improved sleep and fewer aches and pains. Here are a few popular options and their claims:Pillowtops
Brands: Simmons, Sealy, Serta, and others Price: $700 to $3,600* The claim: Because pillowtop mattresses feature an extra pillow-like layer sewn into the top of the mattress, they are said to provide extra cushioning and comfort while maintaining the natural support and firmness of the mattress. Manufacturers say the pillowtops don't lose their resiliency, and you don't have to flip them, either. 800-628-8737 (www.mattress.com)Memory Foam
Brands: Tempur-Pedic, Dormia Price: $900 to $2,800 The claim: Developed by NASA in the 1970s, memory foam temporarily takes the shape of impressed objects but springs back when they are removed. Manufacturers say memory foam allows air to breathe through it, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. Moreover, it distributes pressure evenly throughout the spine and joints. The top layer is soft, while the resilient base layer makes the mattress more responsive to a sleeper's movements without disturbing the partner. 800-721-5152 (www.tempurpedic.com) 800-273-0573 (www.dormia.com)Air Mattresses
Brands: Select Comfort, Nautilus Price: $800 to $3,100 The claim: Because you can adjust their firmness or softness to your comfort level by pumping air into a sealed chamber, air beds are claimed to provide even pressure, whereas innerspring mattresses may create uncomfortable pressure points or areas with less support. The bed's edges are supported by high-density foam. Dual-chamber models allow you to adjust each side of the bed separately to suit both you and your partner. 800-548-7231 (www.selectcomfort.com) 800-656-6629 (www.fitrest.com)High-Tech Sleep System
Brand: Dux Price: $4,150 to $7,000 The claim: The Swedish-designed sleep system's main boast is an innerspring system of 3,600 springs compared with 900 in a conventional mattress. More springs means the mattress contours to the body's curves better, allowing the spine to rest in its most natural position, Dux says. The optional pads can be customized so two people can select separate support zones for torso, shoulders, and legs. 866-389-4262 (www.duxbed.com)Ultimate Luxury
Brand: Hypnos Price: $8,000 to $10,000 The claim: If you're looking to indulge your inner princess, there's always the choice of the Queen of England. The handcrafted Hypnos features 2,000 springs, while layers of wool, silk, cashmere, and cotton create an incredibly soft and breathable surface, the manufacturer says, guaranteeing a deeply comfortable sleep. 800-628-8737 (www.mattress.com)

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. – At 1:34 a.m. on Sunday, a fire spread throughout a Schenectady home located at 2092 Foster Avenue, heavily damaging it.
Three adults, one child, three dogs and two birds, who were inside of the home at the time of the fire, all made it out safely.
The Red Cross is assisting the former residents.
Schenectady Police also assisted at the scene of the fire. Upon arrival, police officers learned that, while all of the human residents had made their ways safely out of the home, three dogs and two birds remained inside.
When police arrived, the entire front of the house was in flames. Six officers entered the burning house, in an attempt to rescue the animals from the fire.
All of the dogs and birds were located by Schenectady Police officers and safely removed. One officer was bit in the hand by one of the dogs, and was taken to Ellis Hospital for the injury.
A cause for the fire has not yet been determined, and investigation is ongoing.

Minimize the Cost of Maximizing Talent Through Vendor Rationalization
While the economy starts to recover, business leaders are still looking to be prudent and invest only in the most critical imperatives. Even though budgets are beginning to increase, leaders are scrutinizing learning vendor spending and focusing on process and cost management - presenting an opportunity for improvement.
Internal teams are now looked upon for more strategic activities including talent development, measurement of learning effectiveness and learning activities that can add value for the investment. However, using a vendor for these types of activities may be a better option.
In order to build the desired vendor mix, organizations should follow a rationalization process. This will help with striking the right balance of versatility, specialization, breadth, depth and commitment. The right mix should also consider the company's needs for full service vendors with broad capabilities versus transactional vendors for one-off projects that are highly specialized.
Deloitte recommends an eight-step approach that includes bringing structure and time-tested processes to our clients to help them in their efforts to identify and assess learning vendors. As detailed in the attached document, our framework includes:
- Assess internal needs and perform diagnostic
- Identify requirements
- Identify vendors
- Conduct request for information
- Conduct vendor on-site meetings
- Select preferred vendors
- Onboard vendors
- Track performance and evaluate results
Vendor rationalization is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Organizations should spend the time to evaluate their current vendors and analyze future vendor relationships. If not, they may end up hemorrhaging cash due to inefficient processes.
As used in this document, "Deloitte" means Deloitte Consulting LLP, a subsidiary of Deloitte LLP. Please see www.deloitte.com/us/about for a detailed description of the legal structure of Deloitte LLP and its subsidiaries.

Fact No. 1: The United States is rated 15th to 17th in the world on educating our children.
Fact No. 2: Alabama, depending on which study you read, is 47th to 48th in the United States on educating our children.
Fact No. 3: We spend more money per child in the United States to educate our children than other nations.
After looking at these facts to continue down this road is insane. Why not give every child in Alabama the opportunity for a good education, regardless of their sociology-economic status or their zip code. That is where compassion enters the equation. Always keep the main thing the main thing, educating all our children.

Branded unfairly as the next whiny tween soap opera, The Hunger Games movie premiered last week awing dedicated fans and newcomers alike. The Hunger Games is a violent good time proving that not all teen dramas have to suck as bad as Twilight. Though there are glimpses of your standard love triangle romantic conflict, it is largely overshadowed by the child brutality taking place; this is where The Hunger Games takes Twilight and shoots an arrow through its sloppy romantic plot. The Hunger Games isn't trying to convince you that the shirtless teen werewolf, or glittery debbie-downer vampire should get the girl; its focus is on the importance of keeping your humanity under savagely inhumane conditions.
I also have to give credit to Lionsgate for pulling off what most studios fail miserably at. They have actually managed to make a good book to movie adaptation while most studios get lucky if they don't butcher a formerly good story. So when it comes down to it, I give this movie a shining 7 out of 10 for being well worth my $11.00 dollars. Unlike the relatively low odds of any of you surviving being in the Hunger Games, the odds of you enjoying this movie are ever in your favor.

Had a few minutes to kill this evening, so I thought I would keep y'all posted on the progress of the H engine block I've been piddling with. After getting the stuck head off, I found 4 stuck pistons and a crankshaft I couldn't quite get loose from the connecting rods. After reading several suggestions posted on the board and listening to a little advice from friends at work, I went to the shop Sunday afternoon and tackled it again. I removed the caps and bearings from pistons 2 and 3, leaving the mains and pistons 1 and 4 (couldn't get them off because of the awkward position of the crank). By loosening the two pistons, the idea was to relieve the pressure on the crankshaft trying to turn with 4 stuck pistons. I then flipped the block on the engine stand, squirted more PB Blaster in each cylinder bore and then went to the table saw. Someone on the board mentioned using a 4x4 block that was trimmed to fit the bore, which I thought was a good idea. Made a block to fit, then went at the pistons with a BFH. After a few licks in each bore, I noticed the sleeves starting to come out. I knocked the sleeves/pistons back down and squirted some more oil. A few more licks and the number 1 and 4 pistons began to move. More oil, a few more licks. The bottom line.......all four pistons and sleeves are out of the block and the crankshaft is free. Couldn't get the crankshaft out because two bolts beneath the camshaft gear have rounded heads and I couldn't get them off. Sounds like I need the bolt outs after all.
Restoring old farm machinery is a good lesson in learning patience. These old tractors want to work at their own pace, not yours.
