At one area of my shop, I have a fluorescent light hanging just above head level for task lighting in that area. Often needed even in the daytime. Pullchain switch in the end of the fixture. Now approaching 30 years of use, the switch got balky a couple of weeks ago. So I bought a new switch-- over $5.00 and imported. Planned to swap the switch this morning. Just as I reached the fixture location, the thought occurred to spray it with WD-40. So I unplugged the light, shot of WD-40 into the switch at the chain opening, operated it about 4 times and waited until this afternoon to put power to the light again. Switch works perfectly. The new one is in the drawer where it probably will soon be forgotten and not remembered if it should really be needed.
This will work on ceiling fan switches also.

Gas prices have dropped another $0.05-$0.10 at gas stations around the Chicago area in the past day or so.
Prices at many stations in the suburbs are now approaching the $3 per gallon mark for the first time in two years. If you look around in Indiana, you will find prices below $3 per gallon.
Analysts said the drop in prices is tied to a drop in demand, lower world oil prices and a cheaper winter blend with less additives.

OMGOOD!!! I think I will chop the pb cup or leave it out as it was hard to cut and eat. it was absolutely divine!!
I chopped up the peanut butter cups and added it to the mixture and then spooned it all into a family size serving dish. Everyone dipped their own. It was a hit!!
I can't wait to try it.
I used low fat cream cheese. Everyone loved them and they look like you spent much more time on them. Next time I am going to cut up the peanut butter cup and blend it into the mixture. It is a bit hard to eat when frozen in the middle.
Oh my goodness!! These were so good! I was really sceptical about the fat-free cream cheese because I've had bad experiences with it before, having a terrible texture. But after you mix in the confectioners sugar and the other ingredients, it really fluffs up. I also added a spoonful of hot fudge before inserting the peanut butter cup for a little extra chocolate :) I honestly cannot get over how much I really enjoyed these and how easy they were. I will DEFINITELY be making these again.

EDMONTON - A 36-year-old Suncor worker was coming out of a washroom Wednesday afternoon when a black bear attacked and killed her, as several co-workers tried to intervene and scare the animal away.
Family have identified the worker killed at the oilsands site near Fort McMurray as Lorna Weafer, an instrument technician.
Cousin Anthony Patchell said Weafer was a "beautiful girl" with a heart of gold. She was a hard worker and animal lover, he said.
The incident occurred about 25 kilometres north of Fort McMurray at Suncor's base plant, a "major industrial site," Suncor spokeswoman Sneh Seetal said.
Seven people were working in a group area when the bear attacked the woman and dragged her off, said Scott Doherty, a spokesman for Unifor, the union Weafer belonged to.
"People tried to stop it and do everything they could. Obviously, they are fairly horrified at what they saw and witnessed," he said.
Another union official said co-workers blasted air horns to scare the male bear away. They were not carrying bear spray, Suncor said.
RCMP killed an adult black bear in the area Wednesday. The bear was brought to the province's forensic unit for tests to determine if it is the same animal that mauled the woman.
Brendan Cox, a spokesman with Alberta Justice and the Solicitor General's office, said a preliminary investigation shows the attack was likely predatory.
"There's no evidence of bear attractants, such as garbage, at or near the site," he said.
Cox said the area where the attack occurred was closed Thursday and bear traps were set up as a precaution.
Sneh, with Suncor, said cameras were being installed at the site to increase surveillance.
"We don't know why this happened and that's why it's so important we conduct a full investigation," Seetal said.
A bear response team made up of Fish and Wildlife officers is investigating, and Occupational Health and Safety will also complete an investigation.
Cox said black bears have just started coming out of hibernation for the year. This is the first incident this year involving a bear that Fish and Wildlife officers have been involved with.
A University of Alberta professor who studies human-wildlife conflicts called the fatal attack "extremely rare," but said conflict with black bears have been increasing at oilsands sites.
"I think there's been the potential for an event like this for quite some time," said Colleen Cassady St. Clair, a professor of biological sciences.
In 2011, 145 black bears were killed by Fish and Wildlife conservation officers in the oilsands region, nearly three times the count of the previous year. Nearly half — 68 bears — were shot in oilsands camps and facilities after being attracted to the camp by food, garbage or other attractants.
In 2011, St. Clair discussed with the province the possibility of a pilot program to teach greater wariness to bears. The project did not go ahead, following concerns it would be unethical until more was done to clean up human-caused attractants on and around lease sites.
"The garbage is the biggest problem at the sites. It's a really difficult thing to control the human garbage, and bears are also attracted to things like antifreeze, petroleum products and glue," St. Clair said.
Prior to Wednesday's attack, the last time a black bear killed someone in Alberta was on May 26, 1991, when 12-year-old James Waddell was killed at a campground near the community of Slave Lake.
Bear expert Stephen Herrero said bears kill one or two people each year in North America, which has a black bear population of almost one million.
He said the best way to deter an attack is to use bear spray.
"Our studies have shown bear spray to be 80 to 90 per cent effective in all sorts of different circumstances with black bears and grizzly bears," said Herrero, a University of Calgary professor.
This is the third work fatality in four months at the Suncor site.

MARION COUNTY, TN (WRCB) -- Few in Marion County could forget the heartbreak of Andrew and Adam Hughes; brothers, killed two years ago when their car ran off Highway 41 in a curve almost two years ago."The teen driving group is the one that concerns us most," says Clint Shrum, of the Governor's Highway Safety Office. "Especially with proms and graduations coming."Monday, the GHSO journeyed to Jasper, to tell police officers and sheriff's deputies from throughout the Cumberland region, that the warmest winter in forty years brought out drivers in droves, and made the roads more dangerous.Thirty-eight more people have lost their lives on Tennessee roads this year, compared to the same period last year; 23 of those deaths in March alone. "I wasn't aware that we were third in the state for speeding, and for alcohol-related deaths," Grundy County Chief Deputy Scott Hampton says.A small department will be even more taxed, when the Thunder on the Rock concert and motorcycle rally hits Grundy County in late May. "We have to have citizen's help," Hampton says. "They have got to pay attention."A number of high schools have staged mock crashes to try to 'scare' students straight.But the GHSO is going one better. "We're calling it 'More Cops, More Stops,'" Shrum says. "Starting Friday night, you will see significantly more law enforcement on the highways."Federal and state grants money will cover much of the cost.It means the law could be less likely to let you off with a warning. Of the 256 people killed on Tennessee roads this year, more than 100 drivers or passengers weren't wearing seat belts.Getting caught, unbuckled, likely will buy you a fine."This is all about changing behavior," Shrum says. "And sometimes, that means you get bitten." Many law officers believe that 'giving breaks' is counter-productive. "It can be frustrating," says Capt. Charles Lowery, of the Hamilton County Sheriff's Department. "Judges want to be compassionate, we understand that. But we're the ones who have to investigate the fatalities."Upon Lowery's request, Shrum has agreed to ask the GHSO to publicize targeted enforcements well in advance, to give judges forewarning when court dockets will be clogged with cited drivers.Two such efforts are 'Hands Across the Border'; checkpoints targeting drivers on Tennessee's state lines with Alabama and Georgia.The Alabama-line enforcement will be set up in Marion County May 24. The Georgia-line checkpoint will go up on Rossville Blvd. in Hamilton County June 1."We have got to get this under control," Shrum says. "Or we'll end the year with nearly a hundred more dead than last year."

Young chefs cook up great dishes
2:00pm Monday 20th January 2014 in News
THE heat was on in the kitchen at Evesham High School as 25 budding young chefs battled it out for the title of Masterchef champion.
The school has held an inter-house Masterchef competition at which pupils worked through a series of heats to produce 'healthy packed lunches' and 'exciting burgers' with the finalists having to come up with "a meal for someone special".
Evesham Rotary supported the event by providing judges, prizes, funds towards ingredients and chefs hats.
The winners were Harry Charnley and Matthew Andrew, with Alicia Cole and Leia Woodcock in second place. Natasha Byrd and Erin Curtis came third and in fourth place were Stephanie Atkins and Ellie Smout.

Review of chapter "Mithras Chronicles Chapter 1" from
> "Nerve gas."
One of the things that makes modern nerve gases so deadly is they are absorbed through the skin, not just when inhaled. While a vampire almost certainly wouldn't get killed by such a gas, the fact that they can get drunk shows they're not completely immune to toxins. Depending on the gas, this should result in anything from a lack of coordination to unconsciousness -- not a total lack of effect.

Review of chapter "Demons of the Past" from
And this is where I finally lose my patience with your fic. It had potential but you just never managed to impress me with your xander and crew actually seeming to improve. Every time it seemed like they'd actually maybe start getting better, you'd have another fight and manage to make Xander regress in fighting ability.
He hasn't had his skills for a few weeks, he's worked on his skills for FIVE YEARS. He COMPLETED his training recently, yes. But you didn't describe his training as some instant download like the Matrix, you described it as him getting trained in basically time compression.
And yet every fucking half assed minion gets to punch Xander around like a chump. And Xander and crew piss their pants over Kakistos the guy without opposable thumbs who has ALREADY been killed once. And that was without guns that can kill vampires.
And for fucks sake, what the hell kind of shotgun is Xander using that it's empty after 4 shots? And why is Xander the only one with guns? He shot the 2 guards, 1 shell each, the 2 vamps just inside, 1 shot each, then puts away the EMPTY gun.
Did the dumbass forget to reload it after its last use or something? Then you have Tara and Faith using crossbows? What happened to all those guns and ammo he got, did he give it all away?
Each of them with guns, shooting the fucking vamps, game over before Kakistos rises. And 40 miles travel took them 90 minutes?
Sorry but you try too hard to make your heroes struggle, but in doing so you just make them look weak or stupid, if not both.

Was going to classify your review as "constructive honest criticism", but after going through the reviews you've left other fics, I've come to the conclusion you're one of those saddos who gets off flaming and tearing people's stories apart, while not having the stones to publish anything yourself. So I guess I've been Barnetted.

Review of chapter "Down Mexico Way" from
It's getting old seeing your Xander with 5 years training in tactics and strategy and leadership constantly acting like a dumbass high school grad with no training. He's not fucking possessed by Mithras either, you've NEVER shown him being possessed by Mithras.
You showed Mithras train Xander mystically/mentally for five years so he could act in his stead. So what is this shit about Mithras being out right now, so Xander is clueless about planning?
I hope you actually got on the ball about this later in the fic and decided if Mithras is possessing Xander so he won't be such a useless moron, or if Xander got TRAINED by Mithras so Xander won't be a useless moron.
Because honestly, it seems like every step forward Xander takes, you have him jump back 5 steps.

Review of chapter "Chapter One" from
Hopefully Xander will actually get a boost above human peak, because right now his 'power up' is incredibly tame, not 'lead a vast army to save the world' level really, especially since despite 5 years of training Xander is still lacking any new self-confidence. It's more like he got an instant download so his personality is exactly the same, rather than spending 5 years in compressed time being trained, which would alter his personality at least some.
And not so impressed by the super bank. The instant the account goes active everybody in the universe knows its active and WHO the account holder is. For fucks sake, the swiss and cayman banks are more secure info wise than that. I'd expect far more from this 'super bank' than that sort of shoddy ass security.

Review of chapter "0.2" from
I've got questions.
"When did she go missing?" demanded the group's oldest member, the weathered-looking Kostmayer.
"Six weeks ago," Parrish sighed, sudden weariness and worry weighing him down.
Direct Question, Direct Answer. This reads as she been 6 weeks missing.
Next Paragraph, She's only left town 3 weeks ago, and has been out of contact only 2 weeks.
"Six weeks ago Jessica approached me with a quite frankly absurd tale of an island off the south-east coast of Africa, just about opposite the Angolan-Namibian border ruled by a mystery despot who'd spent much of the last century experimenting on people. She wanted me to finance an investigation. I did, she left three weeks ago with strict instructions to contact us on a daily basis which she has failed to do."
"When was the last contact?" queried Kostmayer.
"Two weeks ago." Parrish paused momentarily before continuing. "Look, her safety is my responsibility as her employer. When she didn't return, I was obligated to do all I could to get her back."
After Xan rescues the Mercs, the fate of the reported is left a mystery.
Was she rescued?
Comments from author:
The last contact means phone calls, emails, she hasn't
actually been seen for 5 - 6 weeks. I hope that clears
that up. :D
The reporter's dead. Probably dissected in an experiment.

Review of chapter "A Governmental Response" from
> "What concerns me is the A-Team Industries' legal department," Chegwidden suddenly
> spoke up. "It has some of the finest legal minds in the nation, if we go after the Brotherhood
> units, we better be damn sure we have solid legal grounds because otherwise they'd tie us

While it's illegal for private citizens to build their own private militias within the boundaries of the United States, there is also the fact that every male citizen between the ages of 17 and 45 who is not a convicted felon or certified mentally incompetent or physically disabled such that they cannot hold and fire a rifle is a member of the United States Militia. Originally, women were only militia members if enlisted in the National Guard, but given how it's illegal to discriminate against someone to deny them rights on the basis of gender, women are also militia members now. Yup, that's right -- equality means you too can be drafted.
That places the Brotherhood in a legal gray area. Whether they are an illegal organization or a perfectly legal militia group is determined by one factor. If the US government declares an emergency, calls up the militia in general and the Brotherhood in particular, will the Brotherhood do their duty as citizens? If yes, then they are legal. If no, then they are not legal. Raising an armed body of troops and making war upon the United States (and resisting arrest with the intensity the Brotherhood is capable of qualifies as armed rebellion) is treason. Refusing to answer a militia call-up is a misdemeanor in every state. Refusal to muster will result in a Sheriff's Deputy showing up to greet you with handcuffs. Conveniently there will be a judge at the muster site to administer oaths, who is also perfectly capable of issuing bench warrants. Once at the muster site in handcuffs, the judge will ask the citizen whether he refuses to do his duty, and whether he falls into any of the legal exemptions. If the citizen is not exempt and refuses to serve, that citizen will be charged with treason in 95% of all US states. And there is a convenient judge, probably enough people for a jury right there. The citizen will be tried on the spot, with all members of the court including the jury having witnessed the crime. A conviction is typically very swift, and there is only one remedy for a conviction of treason during time of war or great emergency. Judge's choice of hanging or firing squad, within the hour.
The quartet could sidestep a treason charge by renouncing their US citizenship, but then they could be deported as illegal immigrants or denied entry into the US. This option is worse for a standard Brotherhood team, since it would remove them permanently from any patrol area within the US.
On the other side of things, it should be noted that under the laws of the United States, private citizens generally have greater freedom to take violent action in defense of themselves or others than government officials do. Government officials include everyone, from the local dog catcher to the President of the United States. Put simply, if a President can do something lawfully, such as a drone strike in lieu of an arrest and prosecution, then so could any citizen.
There are two federal laws that govern such things. Title 18, Chapter 13, Sections 241 & 242 of the U.S. Code make it a crime for anyone, acting under color of law and/or official authority to violate the constitutional or civil rights of any person.
Section 242 covers individual acts ranging from an oral order to stop exercising rights "or else" up through use of or threat of a dangerous weapon to deny rights, to a death occurring. Depending on the level of the offense, the punishment could be a year in prison, ten years in prison or life without parole...or even execution. It's worth noting that Section 242 acts much like a constitutional amendment in preserving rights, by prohibiting action by officials rather than granting any right to individuals. As such, a US government official cannot lawfully undertake action outside the boundaries of the US that they could not undertake within the US, but could give orders for someone else outside the US to do it (Obama ordering a drone strike on suspected criminals, for example, would only implicate Obama in a criminal act).
Section 241 is the conspiracy version of 242. While 241 starts off one step more severe in punishments than 242 does, 241 only applies within the national and territorial boundaries of the US. Section 241 makes any two people conspiring to deprive someone of constitutional rights under color of law a felony anywhere within US jurisdiction. If anyone dies or suffers aggravated sexual abuse as a result of the conspiracy (including due to felony murder laws, a member of the conspiracy being shot in self-defense by a victim of the conspiracy) the offense jumps to a capital crime.
If the Brotherhood is a legal militia, then bombing them or sending in tactical teams to take them out would make everyone from the highest official giving the orders to the lowliest grunt carrying them out guilty of a federal crime punishable by life in prison without possibility of parole or even execution by firing squad, since such an act would count as making war on US militia, which would be treason on top of a Section 241 violation.
It is worth noting that the Bill of Rights amendments to the constitution do not grant anyone any rights whatsoever. Instead, they protect rights by absolutely prohibiting the government from ever taking certain actions. As such, since the constitution never specifies that you have to be human to be a citizen or even be human to have rights, Sections 241 & 242 are relevant even to demon hunters and the more peaceful demons.

Policies & Regulations - Inclement Weather Policy
The policy of the University of Maine is to remain open for classes and other university functions the maximum number of scheduled days possible during the school year in order to avoid the necessity of make-up days on weekends and holidays. Therefore, as a rule the University of Maine will remain open. A serious parking emergency or a case of exceptionally serious road conditions in the Greater Bangor area will be the only reasons to delay opening for one or more hours to allow the plows to get ahead of the problem prior to the arrival of commuter students and staff, or to cancel classes.
The full inclement weather policy is online, complete with the best options for getting up-to-date information about delays and class cancellations.
For the most timely notification of weather-related class cancellations or postponements, members of the University of Maine community are strongly encouraged to sign up for text and/or email message alerts (umaine.edu/emergency).
Notifications also are posted on the UMaine website and portal; in FirstClass folders (Announcements & Alerts; Provost/Academic Affairs and UMaine Forum); and on University of Maine Facebook and Twitter. These notification options are considered the most reliable options.
In addition, updates can be heard by calling 581.SNOW (1.800.581.SNOW outside the local area), with early morning notifications recorded by 6 a.m., and others made throughout the day. Local media also are notified of UMaine's weather-related cancellations and delays.

COLUMBUS, OH (Toledo News Now) – As the leaves change and the temperatures begin to fall, the Ohio Development Services Agency wants to remind Ohioans that heating assistance is available this winter to eligible households through the HEAP Winter Crisis Program.
Administered by the ODSA's Office of Community Assistance, the program assists qualified Ohioans with winter heating costs Nov. 1, 2012 through March 31, 2013.
"With winter right around the corner, it is important that we provide Ohioans with assistance to maintain their heating source," said Christiane Schmenk, director of the ODSA. "The Winter Crisis Program is a valuable resource for Ohio's most vulnerable residents and is an important part of our mission to support Ohio's communities."
The HEAP Winter Crisis Program provides assistance once per heating season to eligible households that are threatened with disconnection, have been disconnected or have less than a 10-day supply of bulk fuel. Approximately 155,000 households were served during the 2011-2012 Winter Crisis Program.
Qualifying for HEAP is dependent upon the size of the household and the total gross household income for either the past three or 12 months, which must be at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines.
The following are the 2012-2013 guidelines:
Size of Household Past Three Months' Income Past 12 Months' Income
1 $5,585 $22,340
2 $7,565 $30,260
3 $9,545 $38,180
4 $11,525 $46,100
5 $13,505 $54,020
6 $15,485 $61,940
7 $17,465 $69,860
8 $19,445 $77,780
Households with more than eight members should add $1,980 per member to the quarterly income or $7,920 to the annual income.
Individuals interested in receiving HEAP Winter Crisis assistance must have a face-to-face interview at their local provider agency. Qualified Ohioans also can call the toll-free hotline at 800-282-0880, Monday through Friday for a referral to one of Ohio's 56 local service providers. Hearing impaired customers may dial (800) 686-1557 for assistance.
Learn more about the HEAP Winter Crisis Program.
Also, an important reminder for Ohioans receiving assistance through the Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP Plus):
Winter Crisis assistance may be applied to outstanding PIPP Plus payments. However, if the total outstanding PIPP Plus payment is more than the $175 Winter Crisis payment available to customers of regulated utilities, the balance must be paid by the PIPP Plus customer. PIPP Plus standardizes year-round utility payments, making it easier for customers to budget and helping good-paying customers get rid of old utility debt and avoid accruing new debt.

I love my Eno so much I had to get each if my kids one so they would get out of mine! We take them everywhere...to the park, camping, on our balcony, you name it. You can hang them anywhere. Great for an afternoon nap, curling up with a good book, or just relaxing in a great shady spot.
First off, I'm 6'4"... Thus my review is targeted at the taller crowd. I've had this hammock for years and love the portability and ease of set up. It's perfect for taking on a hike or paddle. I usually leave it in my trunk for the impromptu afternoon hang. So: highly recommend for casual relaxation use. BUT if you plan to use it to double as a camping hammock be aware that it is nowhere near wide enough for a tall individual to get a decent flat lie. There is not enough material to create a good sleeping sag. If you want to find a hammock to fit both needs (relaxing & camping) take a look at the doublenest.
My wife and I bought a couple of these ENO single-nesters from a local brick-and-mortar store a while back, and recently used them while camping. Set-up is insanely easy and quick with the attached carabiners (which we used with ENO slap straps for attaching to trees). The fabric is sturdy but comfortable, and it 'snugs' you nicely when you lie down in it. Inside it you'll sleep more comfortably than on any ground pad. The attached stuff sack that it packs into when not in use is handy for stowing keys, glasses, etc. while you sleep. Take-down and storage are also a snap. Folded back up into the attached pouch, it reduces to a bundle about the size of a grapefruit, lightweight and easily packable in small spaces. A loved one commented on a pic I took of my wife relaxing in hers, so as soon as we got home from our camping trip, I ordered one from Moosejaw to give her as a gift for her birthday coming up.I like it. I like it a lot.
I bought a hammock after hearing from many friends that it was "the" way to sleep. I've only slept in it a few nights, but have some general impressions:1 - the material is really really strong, even though it looks really light. Only downside to light fabric means that mosquitos can bite you from the bottom if you don't have a sleeping pad or sleeping bag.2 - it is really really comfortable as a way to lounge around a campsite during the day3 - the stuff sack that it compresses into is a really nifty feature that functions as a spot to hold glasses or a headlamp at night. Additional note: if you really want to hammock camp, you will also need to buy a rainfly, make/buy some tree straps to hang it from, and depending on where you're planning on using it, a bug net. The weight adds up quickly.
This hammock is great! Don't forget that you need something to attach to the tree (slings, cord, expensive hammock hanging kit). Perhaps use the shipping time to get these things, otherwise you will end up like me being overly excited when you pick up your package, but alas need more supplies. All in all, great hammock, just don't be overly excited like me.
I've used the hammock quite a bit, both relaxing in the back yard and backpacking. I think that it's better served for the former than the latter, but perhaps I'm in the minority.Much has been said about the pros of this hammock and I generally agree-relatively light weight-easy to set up (especially with pro slap straps)-Durable-Comes in cool colorsSome of these cons are quite personal so take them with a grain of salt but...-Other hammocks offer better support-If you want a revealingly flat sleeping surface, you must summon hulk like powers to tighten the stretch out of the hammock and straps-the hammock still stretches through the night leaving you in the banana position or even on the ground
For one it's an ENO. What's not to like about it. It's comfortable, tough and a snap to put up. Rip stopping nylon, folds up in it's sack about the size of a grapefruit. Packs light! Get one.
I impulsively purchased this eno hammock the other week and have not painfully regretted it. I have been insanely jealous of all my sweet friends who have them. I even mastered the upside down flip into it approach to getting in. None of that sit on it and pull your legs up crap. I go hard. So I knew I needed one of my own. I'd put this eno anywhere, my porch, my backyard, camping, hiking, enoing, the forbidden forest, the lonely mountain, disney world, and even my bedroom (which fun fact! -- my friend grandpa(not my real grandpa, he's a 21 year old 5'5 dude who loves wearing neon) installed hooks in his room to use his eno as his bed. We all need to get on his level. So, I'd recommend getting one of these bad boys so that you can be a little more like grandpa, cause he is a really cool dude.
I recently bought this hammock for backpacking this summer and I have nothing bad to say about it. It is a very affordable price even when you include the slap straps with it. The rip stop material is very nice and comfortable. I would recommend this hammock to anyone that is an outdoors person. These are even great to just take outback and just relax for a little bit.

Talk about your big gay rumors. Snooki and JWoww from the Jersey shore have been very clear in their intentions to start what we suspect they hope will be an embarrassing rumor about their least favorite reality TV co-star Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino. The two Guidettes say that Sitch is a closet homosexual. Why? Probably because the mean girls are angry at him for leaking a rumor to the press that little Nicole Polizzi is pregnant (even thought they have no proof that he's the one who did it). Here's why we think it is wrong for them to bully The Situation about his sexual orientation especially because of their self-proclaimed ties to Italian and Italian-American culture…
Snooki and JWoww have started a rumor that Mike Sorrentino — the Jersey Shore reality television star nicknamed 'The Situation' — is a homosexual. The two girls tried to out him during a celebrity interview with the Huffington Post this week. Why? Not for his best interest. They were actually trying to start a flurry of false rumors about him that they don't realize he'll never be able to overcome to get even for someone on the Jersey Shore cast or crew leaking fake rumors that Snooki (Nicole Polizzi) is pregnant. Her buddy JWoww (Jenni Farley) was sympathetic.
The move was a bad one for the Jersey Shore girls. While it will be painfully obvious to anyone who sees the girl during the next 9 months that she's not pregnant and the mean-spirited rumors will fade, making an accusation that a man is a closet gay — whether it is true or false — creates a cloud of suspicion that will never go away. From this point forward, Mike will always have to defend himself, justify himself, and suffer other straight men who are homophobic keeping him at arms distance just in case.
If he really is in the closet or unsure about his sexuality, coming out because your angry co-workers are trying to humiliate you as a joke is simply awful. It shows no respect for The Situation as a human being, for his family, for his future love interests, or for the gay community.
Snooki claimed she found the bogus gossip reports that she's pregnant highly offensive because — get this — she said that means someone out there thinks she looks fat. Since she just lost a ton of weight and continues to diet heavily while working out regularly to control her ever-widening short stature, it hurt her feelings. The two women have been trying to figure out ever since the story hit the tabloids which person in the house (cast or crew member) leaked the fake info to the tabs.
Snooki, let me say this… you can lose weight — but you can never diet and exercise away the gay.
Understandably, "Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is furious with his "Jersey Shore" castmates Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Jenni "JWoww" Farley for giving interviews to the Huffington Post and Reality Weekly hinting that he may be gay…" said the Chicago Sun Times. But their report totally glossed over the fact that they came right out and said he was gay. There was no hinting (like their title indicated) involved.
Since Mike and Snooki have a history of fooling around and he claimed she created on her current boyfriend Gianni with him, she's been upset. Not only does Nicole deny that she strayed on her boyfriend, she has basically tried to sever her relationship ties with her co-star to avoid being accused of any future situation.
The good thing about Snooki talking about LGBT issues is that she admitted to being bi-sexual. But coming out for a girl in this day and age and admitting to kissing other girls is really no big deal. The problem is, gay men are shunned in Italian culture — something Snooki and JWoww have to be aware of both in America and after spending time in Italy. If the Sitch is gay and has kept his homosexuality a secret, it is likely to be because he wants to keep his good Catholic boy image in tact. Italians can accept a womanizer or a man who keeps mistresses on the side of a marriage without blinking an eye, but tell them a man has a same-sex partner and look out. Oh, brother!
Many Italian-American men will find a nice Italian and Catholic woman to settle down with and keep mistresses on the side throughout the duration of the marriage. Very often, people in the community will all know the man is a cheater, as he will oftentimes bring his mistress with him to meet friends out and about for social occasions. Why this practice is overlooked by other church members is dumbfounding. But men who are gay, Italian, and Catholic are not so open about their sideline love interests. Many spend their entire lives married to a woman who they keep at home full-time. Her role in the household is to cook, clean, and raise the children while trying to exercise and stay on her diet.
Typically, these men will make sure their wife never works outside of the home because if she did, she'd be more likely to find out that he's a cheat. Kept in the dark, many of these women don't find out about their husband's philandering ways until they are past their prime or have (themselves) contracted an STD. By the, after spending years as a home maker, they are left with no discernible job skills, no advanced degrees that could make them more employable, and their children [and husband] are utterly incapable of tending to even the most rudimentary of household duties. Are we stereotyping here? You betcha — but there's a reason for us being able to do our best Sarah Palin imitation. Because it is such a well-known cultural phenomenon not to make mention of it would be like ignoring an entire family of pink elephants jumping on the living room furniture.
Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino has not taken any one woman as a love interest to date. He makes the round at the clubs and seems to have his way with as many women as he can. Because he makes such a big deal to put so many girls on display, his efforts to impress Jersey Shore fans with his machismo do seem somewhat disingenuous. He also went on Dancing With The Stars — where he did okay. Looking like he's gay because he has some feminine gestures does not mean that's the way his hormones swing, but he might end up leaving showbiz someday and want to have a real relationship someday. For that reason, the Sitch really ought to focus on being more respectful to all women and learning how to have more substantial relationships with male friends.
Mike is at a disadvantage because he did not grow up with a strong or positive male role model. He's obviously got mother issues, as men who treat their ladies respectfully typically have a mother they love and respect, too. Mike's missing that be good to women gene, as he treats girls as people to make fun of, use, and emotionally abuse. That does not make him abusive — but it does mean he could use a wake up call about how to treat other humans. If he's gay and has latent resentment towards women or is a heterosexual but full-blown misogynist, he's going to have problems in all his life's relationships (not just in the love department).
So, to that end, the nasty verbal antics of the thoughtless girls from Jersey Shore have stirred up a whole flurry of issues that will have to be addressed every day of his life for their co-star. If you think someone thinking you are fat, ladies, is an embarrassing ordeal, having people see you for the mean girls that you are is a far worse stigma. JWoww and Snooki should issue an immediate retraction and apology now for trying to out someone who (before this) already had enough personal problems — long before facing being bullied about his sexual orientation.
Like the very real fact that he is likely to be in love with Nicole Polizzi. Like it or not, Snooki, your former GTL buddy Mike seems to fight with you simply because his feelings for you are not returned and that chump boyfriend Gianni is likely to want you to stay home and be his barefoot and pregnant fat little well-kept maid so he can go out on the side and pick up other girls. That's certainly something to consider before you throw the kid under the bus so recklessly anymore. There are not enough apologies in the world to make this rumor mills scandal disappear and you have most likely changed his world forever.

Arrest made in Devonport murder investigation
76-year-old Michael Brincat was found dead at his home on Granby Way, Devonport, on Tuesday. A 52 year old man from the Devonport area was arrested on suspicion of murder this morning. He is now in police custody where he is being interviewed by detectives.
Devon and Cornwall Police have issued this statement:
– Detective Superintendent Paul Burgan
While this is a significant development in the investigation I want to be clear that there are still a number of lines of enquiry to be completed and this investigation is very much ongoing. I would still like to appeal to local people to come forward if they have any information, no matter how insignificant they think it might be.

GARNER — After a season with a new schedule and format that were marred by bad luck, Downtown Sounds finished on a high note.
About 400 people attended Garner's downtown summer music series' Spare Change concert Thursday after rain interfered with the previous two shows.
"We continue to enjoy providing this to folks so they have an opportunity to get out and experience the downtown area," Garner Revitalization Association executive director John Hodges said. "This year it was just unfortunate because of the rain."
Two weeks earlier, The Central Park Band's concert was forced inside the GPAC when rain prevented them from setting up in time. And two weeks before that, the 40 East concert was canceled due to heavy rain.
That show won't be rescheduled as part of Downtown Sounds, but the band will instead play at the town's Firemans' Day on Oct. 4.
This year's Downtown Sounds tried a couple of different tactics, including a new name, to generate interest. In the past, the series stretched from spring into late summer or early fall. This year featured a condensed late spring to early summer schedule. Hodges said that both avoids the heat of the late summer months and helps keep the series fresh in people's minds with less time between shows.
"I think everyone is still happy with the format of them being concentrated in April to June (despite the rain)," Hodges said.
The music also shifted gears. After an effort to feature bands with Garner connections and original music last year, this year featured top cover bands from around the area.
The first show, Soul Play, drew about 350 people, while The Central Park Band drew 200 after the move inside the GPAC. This year's shows generally drew better than last year, Hodges said, although some bigger names from previous years have had bigger crowds.
Hodges said that on Thursday he heard from people who had never been to GPAC before, and another told him they had driven two hours to see Spare Changes, as they were big fans.
"It just reinforces that the reason we started doing this, to bring people downtown, is still worth us doing," Hodges said.

President Barack Obama said it in a major speech on cybersecurity. U.S. senators said it while promoting their Cyber Security Act of 2012. Gen. Keith Alexander, director of the National Security Agency and head of the U.S. Cyber Command, said it while warning of "the greatest transfer of wealth in history" through the theft of intellectual property. "It" was that the costs of cybercrime are $250 billion each year according to Symantec and $1 trillion each year accoridng to McAfee.
But those estimated costs for cybercrime are inflated, a report from the public-interest watchdog group ProPublica says. (It also notes that the widely cited $1 trillion figure was not even in the actual McAfee report, but in the press releases about it.)
[ Prevent corporate data leaks with Roger Grimes' "Data Loss Prevention Deep Dive" PDF expert guide, only from InfoWorld. | Stay up to date on the latest security developments with InfoWorld's Security Central newsletter. ]
ProPublica is not alone in exposing such inflated estimates from vendors that stand to profit from creating fears about cybercrime. Computer scientists Dinei Florencio and Cormac Herley of Microsoft Research, authors of the recent paper "Sex, Lies, and Cybercrime Surveys (PDF)" recently wrote, "Our assessment of the quality of cyber-crime surveys is harsh: they are so compromised and biased that no faith whatever can be placed in their findings."
The ProPublica report saus the McAfee estimate is disputed by some of those who analyzed data for the 2009 report, which was based on information gathered from a survey of 1,000 IT professionals.
Eugene Spafford, one of three independent researchers from Purdue University, told them: "I was really kind of appalled when the number came out in news reports, the trillion dollars, because that was just way, way large."
Another researcher, Ross Anderson, a security engineering professor at University of Cambridge, told ProPublica he "would have objected at the time had I known about [the $1 trillion estimate]. The intellectual quality of this is below abysmal."
"[The Symantec estimate] was indeed mentioned in a Symantec report, but it is not a Symantec number and its source remains a mystery," the report said.
Sal Viveros, a McAfee public relations official who oversaw the 2009 report, had not responded to a request for comment by the deadline for this story. But he wrote in an email to ProPublica: "We work with think tanks and universities to make sure our reports are non-biased and as accurate as possible."
Other security experts and analysts tend to agree with ProPublica, saying not only that the estimates are inflated but that any estimate from a security vendor should be treated with skepticism, because there is a built-in conflict of interest -- the worse the security risks and costs are, the better it is for their business.
In addition, industry reports are not subject to the kind of peer review that is done for academic and professional journals.
But experts are also willing to cut the companies some slack, for a couple of reasons. First, it is very difficult to estimate such things. Sometimes, companies don't even know they have been attacked. Many times, when they find out, they don't want to talk about it, lest they damage their brand. And sometimes it is difficult to know how much actual damage has occurred.

Jim Maran plans to retire as president and CEO of the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce at the end of this year, according to a press release issued Sept. 7 by the chamber.
Maran has served the chamber in this position since 2003.
"Jim and his team have built one of the most outstanding and influential chambers not only in the Southeast, but in the nation," said Gwinnett Chamber Chairman Raymer Sale in the press release.
"He has effectively guided the organization through one of the toughest economic climates in recent decades, demonstrating extraordinary leadership abilities and dedication and has positioned the chamber on a solid financial foundation. His team exemplifies this same drive and commitment that has made the chamber the success it is today and will continue its momentum locally, regionally, nationally and internationally."
Before he joined the chamber, Maran had a notable 30-plus year career as a corporate officer at Motorola.
With Maran at the helm, the Gwinnett Chamber has maintained a primary focus on creating jobs and improving quality of life.
"I am proud of the accomplishments that have been realized at the chamber and within our community during my nine-year tenure," said Maran in the press release. "We maintain our footing at the forefront of advancements when it comes to community evolution. And today, our membership growth is strong as we continue to attract an excellent array of new board members from companies such as RockTenn, the Atlanta Falcons, Willis Mechanical, T.Y. Lin International, Infiniti of Gwinnett, and more."
Partnership Gwinnett, the chamber's economic development initiative, has played a key role in recently attracting and expanding businesses such as NCR, Hyundai Construction Americas, Asbury Automotive, Suniva, RockTenn, Primerica, Mitsubishi, Ricoh, FedEx Ground, Kaiser Permanente and other companies, according to the press release.
The chamber has not yet determined who will take Maran's place when he retires.
"You can't just replace one of the county's most dynamic and influential leaders," said Chamber Chair-Elect and Partnership Gwinnett Chairman Phil Wolfe of Duluth in the press release. "We can only seek a new leader who can build upon the work and accomplishments that Jim has initiated."
Maran's retirement will be effective Dec. 31.
