AUSTIN -- The Dallas area storms are affecting Austin travelers.
At Austin-Bergstrom International Airport on Wednesday, check-in and security lines grew long for travelers who found themselves forced to find another way to their destination.
Airport spokesman Jim Halbrook says that on Tuesday between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., 10 flights to Dallas were diverted to Austin and 20 flights at ABIA were canceled.
Wednesday morning passengers continued searching for another way to get where they need to be.
"I was going to Connecticut at first, then I looked this morning and American Airlines changed my flight to Friday and that wasn't going to work because I have a retreat that I'm going to and it starts today. So I called my travel agent, she got me to JFK instead," explained traveler John Mester.
Mester waited in the check-in line at American Airlines. It grew long fast and moved slowly. Dozens of other passengers found themselves at ABIA unexpectedly. DJ Wills had to detour to Austin from Abilene. He rented a car and made the drive down, paying an extra $180.
"I'm on my way to Japan. I had to call and have one of my flights canceled and moved to here," explained Wills.
The list of departures and arrivals continues to flicker and change on overhead screens at the airport. A schedule is routinely updated online as well.
Some flights are on time, others are delayed and then there are those few that remain canceled altogether. It's unclear how long the Dallas-Fort Worth airport will operate on a scaled back schedule.
American Airlines is currently serving complimentary coffee and pastries to its passengers who are stuck in those long lines.

Wash-ington is begin-ning to debate the proper extent of government eaves-dropping powers in the wake of Edward Snowden's revelations about the NSA. It's hardly as robust a discussion as it should be, but it's a desperately needed start.
The colossal effort to monitor Americans' communications has been going on for at least seven years, under two presidents. It constitutes an expansion of government power without precedent in the modern era. Yet while some members of Congress were informed about it — and all had the opportunity to learn — none saw an urgent need for public discussion. This is astounding. It took the actions of a leaker to spur any real airing of the matter on Capitol Hill.
Even now, it seems unlikely that Congress will make significant policy changes. That's because all the nation's key actors and institutions appear to approve of the surveillance programs. By its silence, Congress clearly supported them. Presidents Bush and Obama backed them. The intelligence community, a powerful voice on national security issues, has resolutely defended them. The courts that are supposed to keep them in line with the Constitution have been deferential to national security authorities, raising a few questions from time to time, but in the end approving all but a handful of tens of thousands of data-gathering requests.
And the American people, by their lack of widespread outrage, have signaled that in this one case, at least, they believe the government can be trusted to keep us safe.
In short, Congress — the forum where issues of such national importance should be hashed out — missed its chance to lead a reasoned national debate over how extensive we want surveillance over Americans' communications to be. It's unlikely that genie can ever again be forced back into its bottle.

Hard-Wired To Cheat
The article states that even in the most selective high schools, with the brightest of children, that cheating still occurs. Personally I believe this is instilled with society, a prime example of nature vs. nurture. The USA typically raises people to take the easy way out, whether it is cheating on a test or stealing electronics from a store. It is instilled in our society that easier is better. Further research proves the USA is 27th in the world in math, 22nd in science, and has the highest per capita rate of incarcerated citizens of anywhere in the world. Face it, the USA provides the nurture of "easy is better", which in turn creates an unethical environment. This article presents the idea that people don't necessarily want to be unethical and that sometimes opportunistically placed reminders will prevent children to cheat. The only way to improve in math, science, and criminal rate is to somehow force children to make ethical issues and gain a sense of hard work for themselves.

:: Home > Sports > Magazine branded sick over Schumi joke cover
© Titanic
04. 02. 14. - 13:00
04. 02. 14. - 13:00
German satire magazine Titanic has sunk to a new low after printing a picture of Austrian Formula One Legend Niki Lauda with the title - 'Exclusive - First Photo After The Accident - This is how badly it affected Schumi'.
Titanic then goes on to claim Michael Schuhmacher, who is in a coma after his skiing accident, now looks like Niki Lauder - the Austrian former Formula One Champion who seriously injured in a crash at the 1976 German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring.
During the crash, his Ferrari burst into flames and he came close to death after inhaling hot toxic fumes and suffering severe burns leaving him disfigured with severe scaring.
Lauda said of the Titanic cover: "It is an absolute barefaced cheek and is completely impious. I ask myself, 'who would print such a load of rubbish'?"
The article then goes on to explain to parents how they can explain Schuhmacher's accident with 'Fun and Games'.
The tasteless mag has in the past been responsible for such actions as a double page spread suggesting Maddie McCann's parents sell her pics for advertising products like a bleach brand that was "guaranteed to wipe away DNA evidence".
In its Schumi special, it goes on to offer an 'Extra' to keep the readers 'entertained' - a puzzle of seriously injured Schuhmacher in a helmet.
There is also a spot the difference Schuhmacher puzzle, as well as a labyrinth where taking the wrong route down the mountain puts you in hospital.
Lauda said he is considering legal steps but he may not get far. When told that Maddie's parents were planning legal action over the use of their daughter's image, they welcomed the move, saying it would give their rag great publicity - and help to raise sales.
The ad features numerous products with Maddie's face on them, each offered at half price.
The cleaning fluid that promises to remove all DNA traces and an ad for a children's chocolate bar promises that one percent of all sales will be donated to Interpol, the international police cooperation organisation.
"Here comes Maddie. She is the best known face in the world, if not in the entire universe," the fake ad claimed. "You will find her image on selected products in our store. If you find her, simply take her - and pay only half price."
Maddie's image was also emblazoned on a package of crackers in the ad and a bottle of Maggi soup flavouring has been turned into Maddie flavouring.
Thomas Gsella, editor in chief of Titanic, said anyone famous was fair game for spoofs and added: "The reaction of the British media is hypocritical. They're just upset because the idea was taken out from under their noses."
The magazine - also infamously did a spoof airport-style bodyscan of the Duchess of Cornwall revealing her as a horse.
Under the headline 'Bad News for Camilla' it shows a scanned image of a braying horse.
It claims that the new planned body scanners are bad news for England as it will reveal that polo mad Prince Charles is really married to a horse.
Titanic has had 35 editions banned since it was founded in 1979.

I feel like some people are trying to weasel their way into calling this optional purchase (which is free with every WoD key) P2W just so they can have the joy of QQing about it. Get. A. Life.
People calling this P2W seem to not be familiar with the dreadful thing "P2W" actually is, reaching max lvl for a fee is pretty much "Congratulations, you've purchased your way through the tutorial, now enjoy being bashed on for being a p2w noob" on the extreme side ofc. However if they do let people skip ahead in the current expansions like 1-3 weeks into WoD then I could see this becoming an issue for people and I'm pretty sure blizz wouldn't do that now would they?
P2W in it's true form at this stage would be, during MoP, earn yourself a lvl 100 with the first all purple WoD raiding gear with weapons and such. You then paid, to get an unfair advantage over everyone else that only players with money to spend can achieve, whilst getting max lvl at this stage really isn't. It's more of "Pay to catch up" so you can prepare for WoD.

NORTH MYRTLE BEACH — Hubby Bellamys favorite spot to watch the sun rise at Beachwood Golf Club is an area behind the 14th green overlooking an irrigation lake.
Hes had plenty of time to choose a preferred place for occasional meditation at daybreak.
Bellamy has been at the course at sunrise approximately 14,000 times over the past 45 years. But perhaps the final time is coming in the next couple weeks, as the sun is setting on Bellamys career as the courses superintendent.
Bellamy has been the only superintendent at Beachwood since the course opened in 1968, and hes retiring at the end of the year a few days shy of his 75th birthday.
Ive always loved what I did, Bellamy said. Most of the time I cant wait to get here. Its been a good ride for me. Its been an enjoyable 45 years.
Bellamy was hired near the completion of the courses construction, and he recalls grading some of the property and planting the grass in April 1968 for an opening three months later. The course hosted a retirement celebration Thursday afternoon.
Well all miss him. Hes a professional and good man and hes done an outstanding job, Beachwood partner Dick Elliott said. It has been rewarding for me to not worry about having to hire another greens keeper not knowing his qualifications, not knowing his commitment and not knowing if he was going to try to take the golf course to the next level. Hubby always took recommendations to the board about how to [improve] the golf course with an eye on the future.
Bellamy was a police officer with the old Ocean Drive Police Department when he was hired at Beachwood. He was ready for a change, and was also beginning a business in landscaping, well-drilling and irrigation that he managed to continue in limited hours for another 20 years or so. From Day 1 I didnt intend to make a career out of [Beachwood], Bellamy said.
Coming from a job in law enforcement, Bellamy immediately commanded respect as a boss.
Elliott recalls Bellamys first day, when he took over a crew of eight men hired to clean up and beautify the property as construction progressed. Six of those eight decided to try Bellamys will after his first day and didnt show up for work the next. Bellamy investigated and learned they were trying to test him.
When they came back the next morning he said, If you have anything here, pick it up and turn around and leave, youre released, Elliott recalled. He went out and hired a new crew, and you can believe that crew listened to Hubby Bellamy.
Lee Grant Livingston, one of the two original workers retained, has worked on Bellamys staff ever since and is semi-retired.
The legend grows
Bellamys given name is Hebert L. Bellamy, and he doesnt know how he got his nickname or its significance, but nobody would ever know me except by Hubby, he says.
He grew up on a tobacco farm off S.C. 90 in Little River, which he sold in 1988.
His father, H.E. Bellamy, was the first superintendent at the Surf Golf and Beach Club, and Bellamy did some work in his early 20s there during construction and continued to perform odd jobs there after the course opened in 1960.
I did just enough to be exposed to it and realize it was something I might consider doing, Bellamy said. It was quite a challenge to me in the beginning but something I really enjoyed.
He learned the superintendent profession hands-on and by also gleaning information from other superintendents, including Ken Hill at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club in the 60s. He also took night classes at Horry-Georgetown Technical College in the early years of the schools turf management program to increase his knowledge and keep up with new practices.
I try to think Ive kept up to date over the years, but I started out old school for sure, said Bellamy, who has benefitted from generations of improvements in maintenance equipment, chemicals and procedures since 68. It used to be a tedious, labor-intensive job. Now its a snap. Its a lot easier. Everything is a lot easier than it was when I first started.
Beachwood was among the first ten 18-hole courses to open on the Grand Strand, and was part of the initial building boom of Myrtle Beach golf as one of seven courses that opened between 1966 and 68.
The number of Strand courses reached approximately 120 in 2001 and remains near 100.
I remember people on the street saying [in 68], There aint no way all those courses will make it, Bellamy said. All of a sudden we doubled the number of golf courses we had. People were really doubtful about whether golf would even make it on the beach or not. It has become a totally different animal now.
Other courses have attempted to pry Bellamy away from Beachwood. These owners have been very supportive over the years, said Bellamy, who oversees a staff of nine that once grew to as many as 15. If I needed something, Id go to one of the owners and theyd say, Order it.
He has worked six or seven days a week nearly his entire career, and there has never been a need to tell Bellamy what time to start work and what time to leave. He arrives the majority of days at about 4:45 a.m. in the summer and 6 a.m. in the winter. Hes here sun-up to sun-down, said 24-year Beachwood bag drop attendant John Catfish Dillow.
His daily ritual begins with a drive around the course in his pickup truck in search of problems or anything out of the ordinary, and hes settled into spending about an hour in the clubhouse before sunrise each morning, having a cup of coffee and shooting the breeze with pro shop workers and Dillow. He often tells stories from his years at the course.
Ive heard stories this week that Ive heard for the last 11 years, but I give him credit, the stories never change, said Bob Wagner, an 11-year pro shop assistant. The facts are there and they never change.
Bellamys favorite work activity has to be using the riding greens aerifying machine. He loves that thing, Dillow said. Hed aerify the clubhouse if the [spikes] would go through the concrete. Hes aerified that practice green nine times this year, I bet. Thats the best green in Myrtle Beach right there.
Thats what they ought to give him as a retirement present, give him the aerifying machine.
The next chapter
Kenny Meredith, Bellamys assistant for 17 years over two stints, is his successor. He worked at Beachwood prior to taking over maintenance duties at the Harbor View par-3 and driving range facility for three years, and was asked by Beachwoods owners to come back in anticipation for Bellamys retirement.
Meredith should have known better. That was 16 years ago.
The owners asked me to come back in preparation of his retirement or illness if something were to happen, Meredith said. Then nothing happened. Im surprised hes retiring because this has been his entire life.
In retirement, Bellamy plans to regularly visit his four children in four different states, along with his nine grandchildren. One thing he and his wife of 49 years, Hazel, have wanted to do is stay in Orlando for a few days in March and attend Atlanta Braves spring training games.
To do so, he has to leave his fifth child of sorts the golf course behind. He has raised and nurtured the layout from its infancy to become the longest tenured superintendent in the history of the Strand.
Its a little scary after all the time Ive spent here, not knowing whats ahead, Bellamy said, but its time to make a change and move in a different direction.
Bellamy intends to fish a bit and get back into playing golf after about a 10-year layoff. If he plays Beachwood, no one will know the course any better. Ill know where to hit it; that doesnt mean thats where its going to go, he said.
He also plans to visit the course and its workers occasionally, quite possibly early in the morning. Ive always been an early riser, even growing up on the tobacco farm out here, Bellamy said. Even after retirement my wife will probably be fussing because Ill probably still be getting up at 4:30 or 5 oclock in the morning.
He might just manage to catch another sunrise behind the 14th green.
Im always here when the sun comes up, Bellamy said. Id say [seeing the sun rise] has been very important to me over the years.

SALISBURY, Md. - A Salisbury man will spend the next decade behind bars on drug charges.
On Thursday, 23-year-old Shamar Cropper was convicted on one count of possession with the intent to distribute heroin and one count of possession of cocaine.
The judge then sentenced him to ten years of active incarceration in the Maryland Division of Corrections for the heroin offense, and four years suspended for the cocaine offense. Once released, Cropper will be on supervised probation for three years.
The charges stem from a traffic stop, where Cropper was the passenger, and during a post arrest search Police found a plastic baggie with heroin, cocaine, and Oxycodone, in his buttocks.

Social pathologies are depressingly pervasive in the Republican-conrolled South. Thus Americans should be wary of any southern Republican offering to bring his values to the nation.
There was a time during the mid-1980s when many of America's Soviet scholars asked themselves how a man possessing the moral fiber, education and stellar capabilities of Mikhail Gorbachev could possibly have risen through the political ranks of a thoroughly corrupt and bankrupt Soviet socialist system. Today serious Americans should be asking themselves whether it is even remotely possible that a Republican Gorbachev could emerge from the socially diseased American South.
If you look at our last Republican President from the South, George W. Bush, you will recognize the problem. During Bush's eight years in office, America: (1) suffered the worst terrorist attack in the nation's history, (2) heard false assertions about weapons of mass destruction and ties to al Qaeda to justify an illegal, immoral invasion of Iraq, (3) reeled from a tax cut that transferred enormous amounts of wealth from the poor and middle classes to America's fabulously rich, (4) gasped in shame at photos of prisoners of war being tortured by Americans at Abu Ghraib (in violation of international treaties signed by the U.S.), (5) shrank from the subsequent outpouring of the world's derision, (6) learned that fellow citizens were subjected to illegal wiretaps and detention, (7) watched in disbelief as the administration dithered in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, (8) noted the failure to capture Osama bin Laden and (9) was nearly brought to its knees by the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression.
Yet, one the eve of departing office, President Bush still had his supporters, especially among Republicans. A final CBS/New York Times poll found that Bush left office with the lowest approval rating of any U. S. President, 22 percent. Only 6 percent of Democrats and 18 percent of Independents approved of Bush's abysmally poor job performance. Strikingly, however, 57 percent of Republicans still approved of the job performance of the worst President in American history.
What was wrong with all those Republicans? Well, many were formidably ignorant or in denial. Many were ideologues who would support a Republican presidential candidate, even if Jesus Christ was running as the Democratic candidate. Finally, many of those Republicans live in the American South, where social pathologies resulting from political misrule are a way of life.
Perhaps the worst of the pathologies is racism. If you examine the scholarly literature, you will find that the South remains the most racist of all the regions in the United States. (For example: "Regarding busing for school integration, fair housing, anti-discrimination laws, and increased spending on race-targeted programs, major national surveys conducted well into the 1990s show significantly greater opposition among whites living in the South than among those living elsewhere." [Vincent L. Hutchings and Nicholas A. Valentino, "The Centrality of Race in American Politics," Annual Review of Political Science, 2004. 7:383-408, p. 388] )
The 2008 election smacked of racism, showing that older white working class voters and older white Southerners gave John McCain somewhat more support than they gave Bush in the 2004 election. Whites in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana gave Obama considerably fewer votes than they gave John Kerry in 2004 [James C. Cobb, The South and America Since World War II, p. 304] Moreover, of "the 7% of whites who said race was a consideration in their vote," 63% percent voted for McCain.["Post-Election Perspectives," Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, Nov. 13, 2008]
I heard a true and very revealing anecdote about the other 37% of that 7% of white racists, who were angered at Republicans for Bush's eight terrible years, but who didn't want to elect a black man to be President of the United States. An African-American, working for the Obama campaign, was canvassing potential voters in central Pennsylvania, when he stepped on to the porch of one house and was greeted by an elderly white woman. After introducing himself, the African-American canvasser asked the woman who she intended to vote for in the upcoming election. The woman responded, "I always vote the way my husband votes." And with that, she shouted to her husband in a distant room: "Dear, who are we voting for in the next election?" From that distant room came his response: "We are voting for the nigger."
Beyond racism, however, if you look at recent U.S. census data (and other data) – largely since 2007 -- you'll see that the South is the region of the country where most other social pathologies thrive. If you examine a specific social pathology and look at the five worst states in the entire United States harmed by that pathology, you will come up with the following results.
Two of the five states with the highest unemployment rate are in the American South. Three of the five worst states still executing its citizens are in the South. So are three of five worst states for out-of- wedlock births, lowest high school graduation rates, highest illiteracy rates and the highest percentage of residents who still smoke tobacco.
Southern states make up four of the five worst states in the entire country in the social pathologies of violent crime per 100,000 residents, lowest per capita income, citizens living under the poverty level, the related issue of union membership per capita, most single parent households per capita, the most traffic accidents per miles traveled and the lowest life expectancy.
States in the American South occupy all five of the five worst performing states in the entire United States when it comes to having the most obese citizens per capita, the highest infant mortality rates and the lowest percentage of citizens possessing a four-year college degree. Only in the category of alcohol consumption were there no worst performers from the South. In a word, the American South is in a class of its own, when it comes to life-debilitating social pathologies. (See: http://www.walter-c-uhler.com/Reviews/pathology.html )
Moreover, the American South is America's worst performing region, notwithstanding the high percentage of avowedly high-minded, God-fearing Evangelical and Mainstream Protestants supposedly fighting such social pathologies. But, doesn't it seem that these righteous folk are more concerned about culture war issues like abortion, homosexuality, evolution, same-sex marriage and guns, than the debased condition of their own region? Is it a case of beholding the "mote in thy brother's eye," but considering not "the beam that is in thy own eye?"
Whatever the reasons for the behavior of these Evangelical and Mainline Protestants, the coexistence of high religiosity with pervasive social pathologies clearly indicates that stressing "values" hasn't worked.
What's worse, however, is that these good religious folk with all their social pathologies continuously elect Republicans to run their governments. It's analogous to continuously voting for pigs who never honor their promises to clean up the pig sty.
In general, these Republican politicians strive to keep taxes low and allow businesses to operate unencumbered by government regulation. But thanks to their successes -- at both a regional and national level -- "the lower 60 percent of households have lost $4 trillion [since 1985], most of which has ascended to the top 5 percent, including a growing tier now taking in $1 million or more each year." [Andrew Hacker, "We're More Unequal Than You Think," New York Review of Books Feb. 23, 2012]
Republicans can't afford to mention such facts. Not only because it implies that a relentless class warfare has been waged against average Americans by the Republicans' paymasters – business elites like the Koch brothers – but also because it implies the need for a reversal -- a modest redistribution of wealth downward.
Republicans are strongly opposed to "socialistic" schemes for redistributing wealth, except – of course – when it's the wealth annually redistributed to the Republican South (and other "red" states) by "blue" states in the Northeast and Midwest. This phenomenon has been addressed in a scholarly paper by Professor Dean Lacy, titled: "Why Do Red States Vote Republican While Blue States Pay the Bills?"
Data found in Professor Lacy's paper show that, in 2000, Louisiana, Arkansas, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia and Maryland paid less in federal taxes than they received in tax benefits from the federal government. In 2005, Mississippi, Arkansas, West Virginia, Louisiana and Alabama – all Southern states – benefitted most from the unequal exchange.
It is salutary to keep this welfare program for the South in mind, especially when Southern Republicans like Newt Gingrich resort to smearing President Obama as the "food stamp President." Why anybody, except the business elite, would support a Republican from the South defies reason. There appear to be no Gorbachevs in that region or that party.
Finally, thanks to an exceptionally good piece of reporting in the New York Times last Sunday, we also now know that the areas of the country with the highest dependence on government benefits are the same parts of the country most likely to vote for Republicans. For example, "Among the 100 counties with the highest dependence, two thirds voted for John McCain in 2008. Many are poor and rural." ["Even Critics of Safety Net Increasingly Depend on It," New York Times Feb. 12, 2012]
What's the explanation? Nothing other than gross hypocrisy and a lack of civic responsibility.
The article in the Times mentions Ki Gulbranson, who lives in Minnesota and earns around $40,000 per year, but takes the earned income tax credit when filing his taxes, signs his three children up for a government program that allows them to eat free breakfasts and lunches and has a mother who had two hip surgeries paid by Medicare.
Thus, at around $40,000 per annum, Mr. Gulbranson cannot make it without welfare. Yet the hypocrite voted to elect a Tea Party candidate who has vowed to cut spending for welfare.
Well, you might ask, "How does that work?" Easy, you vote for candidates who vow to cut welfare earmarked for other groups of people.
A key statistic in the Times' article reveals that 27 percent of Americans incorrectly believe that welfare programs that benefit the poor (by which many racists mean African-Americans) are the fastest rising welfare costs, and thus, the costs that need to be brought under control.
In fact Medicare – which benefits untold numbers of "greedy white geezers" in the Tea Party and Republican Party -- has the fastest rising costs of any "welfare program." Medicare's a "welfare program?" Yes, because the average worker contributes only $1 for every $3 of benefits he will receive.
Just like the hypocrites in the Tea Party, who decry the taxes that support other segments of the population, but not the taxes that fund their own welfare programs, Republicans – especially in the South – have attempted to avoid paying taxes while being quite willing to accept the benefits of taxes paid by more liberal "suckers" in blue states.
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. once observed that "Taxes are what we pay for civilized society." Perhaps that explains why, under low-tax Republican rule, the American South suffers from the many pathologies that undermine a civilized society.

Well, it all started with a tour of Hollywood in a hearse! After visiting numerous celebrity-related sites, the driver gave out maps of two Hollywood cemeteries and I was hooked! In addition to visiting celebrity graves, my real interest lies with British royalty, both dead and alive. I have photographed many members of the current royal family as well as many royal gravesites. My most unusual grave photos are the headstones of Queen Elizabeth's dogs. Find A Grave has provided me with an excellent opportunity to share my photos with others via the internet. I have met countless people as a result, and look forward to meeting many more!

Sirens causing some pets to suffer from anxiety
11/20/2012 04:28
"The situation in the South has been very difficult not only for us humans but also for our pets," dog owner tells 'Post'.
Dogs adapt to sirens in South

incoming missiles from Gaza
blared in his neighborhood in recent months, Lucky would often freeze in confusion as the human residents of his Moshav Gea home ran to their safe room. But during the past week, in which rocket fire and alarms have become routine for the southern community, the large golden dog jets to the shelter automatically. "He follows us to the shelter, he knows," Kineret Rozen-Edelman, a teacher at Sha'ar Hanegev Regional High School and Gea resident, told
The Jerusalem Post
on Monday. "He gets up with us and runs to the shelter."
Rozen-Edelman was speaking with the
on Monday morning at around 11 a.m., and she was happy to have had a night of relative quiet from 1:30 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. Since rescuing the one-and-a-half-year-old Lucky from an Ashkelon shelter about a year ago, Rozen-Edelman and her husband have been training the dog to grow accustomed to using the shelter when necessary.
Upon entering the shelter, Lucky tends to run in circles at first and then quickly settles down, and within about 15-20 seconds, both humans and dog hear a boom from outside.
"Then a few seconds after the boom, he sits down," Rozen-Edelman said.
One problem that Gea faces in particular is that the alarms tend to sound quite often, as the moshav is often in the line of fire for rockets headed toward – and Iron Dome interceptions from – Ashdod, Gan Yavne, Ashkelon, Be'er Tuviya and Kiryat Malachi, she explained.
At the beginning of the latest onslaught, Gea was receiving about 10 or 12 alarms per day, and is now getting about six.
"Ever since the missiles began, [Lucky's] been very, very clingy," Rozen-Edelman said, noting that Lucky comes from a tortured past prior to his stay in the animal shelter. "He's been following us wherever we go, sitting with us."
Jesse Shalev, who lives with his wife Lillou in Givatayim, has a two-year-old dog named Swarley and a five-year-old cat named Lola, who have now learned to respond to the "relatively soft" alarms that sound in their town during an attack.
"Swarley is quite good at following us if called but Lola is a cat and cats like to hide," Shalev told the
The situation becomes most difficult when either Shalev or his wife are alone with the animals and a siren goes off.
"Yesterday Lillou was alone and was unable to find Lola for an extended period of time, which caused her to wait out the time in the stairwell instead of reaching the shelter in her allotted 60 seconds," Shalev said.
Very close to the northern Gazan border, Nofar Gal's family has four pets – a dog named Pitzy and three cats – in Yad Mordechai.
"Our pets learned long ago that whenever the rocket alarm goes off, they need to run to the safe room, and they do that every time," Gal said. "It used to be a funny thing for them, kind of a game, but now then just won't leave the room."
Pitzy has particularly been affected by the alarms and explosions, perpetually crying and sleeping only in the family's bed, as well as needing medicine to calm her nerves.
"The situation in the South has been very difficult not only for us humans but also for our pets," Gal told the
Eti Altman, founder and spokeswoman for the organization Let Animals Live, stressed that the situation for animals in the South has become very difficult, and that no one has devised a "plan B" for animals facing war.
"They don't know how to speak, how to complain," she said.
Let Animals Live is currently bringing 30 southern dogs to a shelter in Kfar Truman, but these places are already overcrowded with animals, she explained.
"If people don't come adopt these animals, we won't have more room for the ones from the South," Altman said.
In addition to their displacement, many animals who are in safe locations end up with anxiety when alarms sound, according to Gadi Vitner, spokesman for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Israel, based in Tel Aviv. Alarms, explosion sounds and sirens heavily influence their actions, as they pick up events going on around them very sharply, according to Vitner.
When going to the safe room or shelter, an owner should place a dog on a leash as if he was about to go on a walk, he explained. For cats, people should always make sure their cat travel cases ready and open for easy transportation to a safe room. Should the owners choose to leave their parts of the country for a less tumultuous area, it is important that they bring the animals with them, according to Vitner. Many private animal shelters have also opened their doors to pets facing a turbulent South, he added.
"It is always possible to find a good and responsible solution," Vitner said. "We must remember that pets are sensitive just like us."
Pet owners should also prepare food and water in advance, as well as a litter box for cats, in protected spaces, as per instructions from the Israeli Companion Animal Veterinary Association. A dog in particular should not be left alone, as it may injure itself trying to escape from the frightening situation, according to the organization.
Owners must take pains not to be angry or punish uncooperative animals in these situations, and must refrain from giving the pets medicines without consulting veterinarians.
In addition to cats and dogs, rabbits, rodents, ferrets and birds should also be moved to shelters when alarms sound, in their cages or protective boxes, the association said.
Back in Gea, as Rozen-Edelman spoke to the
on the phone, an alarm blared in the background, interrupting the conservation briefly. With her husband and Lucky, she ran to her safe room, getting there in the allotted 15 seconds of time.
"He has this look confusion," she said of Lucky. "I hugged him and I told him to sit down."
About 15 seconds after entering, they heard a boom.
"Right now [Lucky] is sitting on the couch in the safe room," Rozen-Edelman said.
"He's embracing the idea of being safe – he's almost protecting us."

Former school employee wins $100K settlementBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | May 06,2013Sharon Stearns is getting $100,000 and an apology in the settlement of her lawsuit against the Addison Central Supervisory Union.
Stearns, who lives in Brandon and was business manager at the district for nine years, had sued her former employer in Rutland civil court for breach of contract, retaliation and bad faith conduct. The district includes Bridport, Cornwall, Ripton, Salisbury, Shoreham, Weybridge and Middlebury.
According to a release put out by her attorneys, Stearns was placed on administrative leave after questioning the practices of then-superintendent Lee Sease.
The apology was highly important to her, attorney Norman Watts said Thursday. They ran her through a nightmarish mill before she left.
Stearns went to the union school board in late 2010, according to the settlement, with concerns about Sease not mailing annual reports according to the law and not properly paying overtime to hourly staff. Sease placed Stearns on administrative leave, according to her lawyers.
A letter written as part of the settlement and signed by Superintendent Gail Conley says the board chose not to renew Seases contract and invited Stearns to return to work, but Stearns resigned her position.
On behalf of the board of ACSU, I can relate that there are substantial regrets about the previous Superintendents leadership void in our ACSU central office during Sharons tenure, Conley wrote. This leadership void created a negative impact on the central office personnel including Sharon.
Watts said Stearns has recently completed a masters degree in public accounting and is about to start a new career as a CPA.
Watts said the settlement was reached after a mediation session that ran until 10:30 p.m. and the letter from Conley was a key part of the agreement.
That side of it, vindication for her blowing the whistle on inappropriate and possibly illegal activities, thats important to her, Watts said.
Conley did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment Thursday.

Not even a small Gilbert Melendez-made window over the left eye of Diego Sanchez could keep "The Dream" from pushing a furious pace tonight at UFC 166, which takes place from Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. The gash was suffered early in the first round and was checked by the referee in the second and third. And, in the final frame, Sanchez went completely berserk. Perhaps it was the smell (and taste) of his own blood ... or maybe he knew he had to score a finish to win ... or both. Amazing performance once again and an even more incredible fight. To find out who won the Lightweight war between Gilbert Melendez vs. Diego Sanchez check out complete UFC 166 results right here. See hi-res Diego Sanchez cut pic here.
UFC Welterweight Contender Jake Ellenberger talks about his upcoming bout vs Diego Sanchez at UFC on Fuel tv 1. Ellenberger feels he is a better fighter in all areas and will break Diego's will during the fight on his way to obtaining victory.

Jake Ellenberger: Whoever GSP Comes Back to Face, It'll Be More of a Challenge for Him. UFC welterweight contender Jake Ellenberger breaks down his main event fight in his home state of Nebraska vs. Diego Sanchez, Nick Diaz vs. Carlos Condit for the interim title & why Georges St-Pierre is in for it when he's done with injury layoff.
Matt Hughes vs. Diego Sanchez, which was recently announced for sometime in the fall, will apparently go down on Sept. 24, 2011 in Denver, Colorado. That's the word from Hughes himself but UFC Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Marc Ratner could not verify that. He did, however, tell MMAFighting.com that there "is certainly talk" of the promotion holding an event in "The Mile High City" and that if it is to happen, the show would take place at the Pepsi Center.

Redskins rookie lineman Lefotu found unconscious
ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins rookie offensive lineman Kili Lefotu was found unconscious in his room Wednesday evening and was undergoing tests at a hospital.
Coaches became concerned when Lefotu failed to show up for the team's 7 p.m. practice. Representatives were sent to the National Conference Center, where the players are being housed. They found Lefotu unresponsive and called emergency services to take Lefotu to a hospital.
Coach Joe Gibbs said Lefotu appeared to be doing better, but doctors had yet to diagnose what happened. Lefotu was to remain at Loudoun County Hospital overnight for more tests.
"He's responsive, he's talking, which wasn't the case when they first found him at the dorm," Gibbs said. "The first set of tests, they were looking for something bleeding, and they didn't find anything. The first set of tests came back without anything that we should be alarmed about."
Gibbs said the Redskins training staff was not aware of any similar problems in Lefotu's medical history.
Gibbs also said Lefotu had attended the afternoon meetings and showed no signs of illness. The team took longer than usual to become aware of Lefotu's illness because his roommate, Manaia Brown, had been released earlier in the day.
"Anytime something like this happens, it's serious," Gibbs said.
Lefotu was a seventh-round draft pick from Arizona in this year's draft.
Thanks to PPE for the sig.

DIVA TALK: A Conversation with Olivier Winner Elaine Paige, U.S.-Bound for Concert Tour
By Andrew Gans
News, views and reviews about the women of the musical theatre and the concert/cabaret stage.
Elaine Paige
I have had the great opportunity to catch the versatile performer in a full concert evening twice, and the best word to describe her performance is volcanic; when that golden voice opens, it pours out like rich lava, and the sound that envelops the entire concert hall is simply thrilling. She is also a spell-binding actress, who delves deeply into each and every song. On Valentine's Day, I again had the chance to chat with the witty, good-humored Paige, who had just returned to London following a Scandinavian concert tour. It's always a treat to catch up with the British star, who is as enjoyable offstage as she is on; our conversation, which was filled with much laughter, follows.
Question: Happy Valentine's Day! Any special plans?
Question: Have you ever seen the musical from the audience?
Question: What's it like for you seeing someone else play a role that you created?
Question: The last time we spoke you were doing Follies on Broadway. What was the L.A. experience like for you when you took Follies there?
Question: I've never really lived out there, but I don't think I would like it either. I like being able to walk out and have everything right there.
Question: Was performing in Follies in D.C., Broadway and L.A. the longest time you'd ever been away from London?
Question: Also, while you were here this past time, you made your New York concert debut at the Allen Room…
Question: It was a thrilling concert.
Question: What kind of repertoire will you be doing here?
Question: When you look back at your career, are you ever amazed by all that you have been able to do?
Question: Also, it's been such an international career, not just here, but you play all over Europe and Asia…
Question: When did the recording career start?
Question: What's your take on the Internet and YouTube?
Question: What are your thoughts these days about returning to the theatre?
Question: Eight shows a week is a lot.
Question: It seems like you have a very full life, and I can really understand not wanting to be at the theatre eight nights a week.
Question: Do you have any new recordings in the works?
Question: And, you're also still doing your radio show …
Paige's U.S. concert dates follow:
Feb. 26 at the Mesa Arts Center in Mesa, AZ
[The Town Hall is located in Manhattan at 123 W. 43rd St. For tickets visit Ticketmaster.com.]

Had a blast with Co-workers! Cabin was great. Pillows and comforter in basement could use a cleaning though. Only other thing is that we ordered firewood. It was not there when we checked in. We called and they delivered it later that evening. Great place to stay and get away. Better than a hotel for sure!

"Loved it!"
Review submitted: May 23, 2012 Date of arrival: December 21, 2011
California Dreamin' was the perfect house to our big group! It was very open and spacious which allowed for great group interaction (perfect retreat style home). It was quiet and the surrounding area was beautiful, we even saw a few deer. The pool and ping pong table provided great entertainment and we even went into the hot tub for a while which was perfect in the middle of winter! We did a lot of cook so the big kitchen was great! Overall, I really enjoying the house!

"Staying in California Dreamin cabin was very warm
Review submitted: May 23, 2012 Date of arrival: January 12, 2012
California Dreamin was a really, really nice cabin. I think the kids enjoyed it more than the adults! Some of the kids that were supposed to have stayed at Dragon's Den ended up staying at California Dreamin. So in addition to the one couple that was supposed to stay in Dragon's Den, two other adult couples ended up sleeping in Dragon's Den because the kids where in California Dreamin. It didn't matter; everybody came together during the day to eat, play some pool, board games, etc. I also liked that the cabin was a 3-level. Everybody wasn't on top of each other all the time. We did all come together one time to play Taboo. We also grilled, although it was a little chilli outside. I was suprised to see that the cabin had a washer and dryer; and also ironing board. We were thinking before we got there whether we should bring an iron. The large bedroom (of course everyone knew my mom was going to take that one) was really nice. I like the spa tub, it was really nice, although I didn't get a chance to enjoy it. We ended up going to the Wal-Mart a couple times which accessible. We saw deer at the corner of a road just staring; they stood so long, we were able to take a couple pictures. We need to come back during the summer one year where we can enjoy the hot tub and sit out on the patio and grill. Being in the cabin together just made our holiday! Eventhough we have gotten together at each others houses during the holidays, it was the change of scenery for everyone; something different. The staff at KZ Cabins were very accomodating. I was kept informed of everything that I needed to do. I must say I have found a vacation spot that I will use again and again. I have really enjoyed it! Thanks for everything.

Great cabin but a couple of glitches
Review submitted: November 6, 2011 Date of arrival: January 10, 2011
We chose California Dreamin' for a Christmas get together for our family several months back. Being Ga natives we knew that the weather could potentially be a problem in the N. Ga mountains in December but were hoping for the best. As luck would have it, the weather got pretty nasty the day everyone was supposed to come in! Most of our group made it without a hitch and were ready for a hot meal...when we got ready to use the oven, it kept popping the breaker. After running up and down the stairs several times we finally figured out that there was a short in the cord and not to push the stove all the way against the wall and it would work. Maybe not the safest option, but we had already received a call from KZ Cabins earlier in the day advising us not to leave as the roads were terrible and we probably wouldn't be able to get back in to the resort. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils and plenty of pots and pans but some of them had been abused by previous guests which made some of our cooking a challange. We booked such a large cabin as we were planning a large holiday dinner with 16 guests. We were only left 2 tall kitchen trash bags, 3 dishwasher tablets and a partial roll of paper towels to get us through our 6 day stay over the long holiday weekend. Another issue we had was with the heating system. In order for everyone else in the house to be comfortable, the master bedroom was blazing hot, even after closing the vents and putting blankets over them. It was a beautiful house but there were a couple of annoying issues. Hopefully they have been resolved and won't cause problems for future guests.

We were California Dreamin'!
Review submitted: November 6, 2011 Date of arrival: May 5, 2010
Our family of 14 planned a mini getaway to the cabins of Helen GA. We found out that this cabin was incredibly in expensive online. So we booked after seeing the gorgeous pictures online. Once we got there, everything was picture perfect! Plenty of space for lounging and cooking, and our bedrooms were nicely decorated with themes! The availability of the recreation center made it easy for the kids to enjoy as well. Located on a dirt road, walking was like hiking the trails, which also made it fun! We also saw many deer roaming the territory. The campfire one night was a perfect finish to our stay. Everything else was great, and my family had a wonderful stay!

I was celebrating my 45th Birthday with some family and dear friends and what a great time we had, food, fun, laughter and a great time was had by all. We all echoed the only thing that we would have changed was to have the biggest t.v. in the game room upstairs in the living area! It was fantastic otherwise! "Cheryl" you rock too.

We loved our experience at California Dreaming for NYE 2010. There were 6 adults and a 8 month old and the layout of the cabin worked perfectly as we all had a floor each! The kitchen was perfect for us all to have huge breakfasts every morning and we had a graet time chilling with the BBQ and fire pit

And we have a new record: Kentucky has set a record for most players drafted in the first round of a single draft, with five now. Orton is a complete enigma after averaging three points and three rebounds in his one and done season at Kentucky.
Still, he's got an NBA frame and he's young, so the Magic apparently are willing to take a chance that he can develop. The more interesting questions is whether this signals a willingness on the part of the Magic to move highly-paid backup center Marcin Gortat.

I found the electronic voting machine confusing at first and wondered why there weren't better instructions in the booth. But I felt lucky to have had access to one after hearing about the fiasco in Santa Clara County. And, my candidate won. On to November!

When I voted at the First Baptist Church of Menlo Park, I was undone by the voting machine, which froze near the end of my ballot.
Asked if I wanted to go to another machine or take a paper ballot, I chose the latter. A gut reaction, I guess, since I have not had trouble with the eSlate machine in the past.
on Feb 6, 2008 at 12:04 pm
I had no problems with my voting machine at the First Baptist Church.
There were more people there than usual, but no waiting. My husband and I cancelled out each other's votes in the Democratic primary, proudly affixed our "I voted" stickers and went on with our day.


text: Our friends got married in Anchorage and wanted to cruise in Alaska after. We were excited; my fiance and I are getting married soon, so we counted this as our honeymoon too! We departed Anchorage and drove our rented cars down to Seward. We stopped at Chugach and Beluga Point to take pictures. If you do drive, Google Maps is right: it WILL take 2.5-3 hours even though it's not that long mileage-wise. It's an easy drive, but you will get stuck behind motorcoaches. Embarkation was super-easy. We were still in our clothes from the wedding ceremony, so we got some odd stares. Security was no more or less invasive than what you'd expect at any American airport. The Radiance is looking good after its renovation. I've only cruised once, on the Sovereign a few years back, and the cabins look much nicer and cleaner. Our interior suite was bright, clean, and more spacious than I thought it would be (don't be slobs like us, though; take the time to put away your clothes each day or else you'll get claustrophobic). We hung out in the Colony Club and Schooner Bar, but spent almost all of the cruise at Champagne Bar or in the Solarium. We LOVED the Champagne Bar with its menu of nightcaps, and I'm not sure why but the Solarium was abandoned every night. We had the whole joint to ourselves! We checked out the ShipShape spa and there didn't seem to be a lot for us - we both just prefer barbells and rack cages, which weren't present (for obvious reasons).The entertainment seemed geared towards an older set. We were all upper-20's, and we all brought books and our own card games so it wasn't a huge deal. As I said before, most of the public spaces were empty post-dinner, so public spaces were easy to find and comfortable. We did do the pub trivia and had a blast.The only area where there's real room for improvement on Radiance is the dining room. We chose MyTime and linked our reservations to guarantee we'd be able to set together. Unfortunately, we were a party of seven. Instead of seating us at a table for eight, most nights we were seated at this awful table for six that was up against a column. And we were four big, broad guys, and one of the women was five months pregnant. It was a really tight squeeze, and we complained, but didn't get a good table till the second to last night of our cruise. Ordering drinks at dinner was ridiculous; if you wanted something, the waiter would call over a barman, but then if you wanted wine, the barman would call over an assistant waiter, but if you had the alcohol package and wanted the house wine, the assistant waiter would call the barman back over.Two of the people in my party have pretty severe food allergies, which we noted on our reservations. The dining staff didn't seem to take notice. My friend who is allergic to almonds ordered a dessert that didn't mention the thing contained almonds, and thankfully his wife saw them before he took a bite. I was surprised that our waiters didn't catch that.By the last night, we were so sick of the dining room that we had dinner in Windjammer instead. The selection was good, and the joint was empty. I recommend it.Other than that, the service and staff were excellent. Our stateroom attendant seemed a little surprised/bothered at first about serving a gay couple, but he was fine after day one. Rebecca at Champagne Bar and the man who worked the closing shift at the Solarium Bar were both a godsend.As for the ports, most of them are the same chintzy jewelry stores and you really have to look. I found Skagway horrible and stayed in my room after walking around for an hour, but my fiance took the ferry to Haines and had a wonderful time. I strongly recommend the Bike and Brew and Glacier View tour in Juneau, and the Hoonah Bike Trek in Icy Strait. Neither is particularly strenuous, but they are very fun and educational.All in all, we had a great time. This is actually a good cruise for 20somethings: Don't insist on going to the dining room every night, stay up late and enjoy having the ship to yourself, and book some fun, physical excursions, and you'll have a wonderful vacation.

"The state stepped in and said either seek treatment or lose your son. And that's when I found the wonderful program of Therápia. I thought for sure I was going to be screamed at and rubbed in the dirt and shown how worthless I really was.

Is there an inexpensive type gauge that can be used for the touch control fluid inplace of the original??
I think the short answer is no. However, on our 100 we replaced the gauge and it hardly ever moves. Unless you are using a hydro-creeper I can't see as it is really needed. You should hear the pump laboring if the hydraulics bind up. Many tractors have run for years with that gauge rusted out. In fact, I have never see on working, except on a restoration.
The four most expensive words in tractor restoration: "We might as well..."
Try a well stocked hardware or farm supply store. Look in the hydraulics and the plumbing sections.
Valu-bilt catalog has two hydraulic pressure gauges listed. 0 -5000 psi. Prices are $11.39 and $16.99
You might also try your local industrial supply store.
I have an excuse. CRS.
eugene, he is looking for a temperature gauge, rather than pressure.
