Man accused of taking cell phoneJuly 24,2013Man accused of
taking cellphone
BENNINGTON A Manchester resident was charged with a felony after a woman told police he took her cellphone.
Christopher J. Stevens, 21, of Manchester pleaded innocent Monday in Bennington criminal court to a felony count of larceny from a person.
Officer Christopher Mason of the Manchester Police Department said Taylor Kristiansen told him May 17 that Stevens had taken her cellphone earlier that day.
Kristiansen told police Stevens spit in her face and forced her to the ground before taking the phone.
Mason said Stevens admitted to taking the phone. Stevens told Mason he was concerned because Kristiansen had gone out and come back all messed up on something so he wanted to know with whom she had been talking, according to the court affidavit.
Stevens was released without bail Monday but ordered not to have contact with Kristiansen.MORE IN This Just InRutland Plywood held its final meeting with employees who said they're moving on from the company...

Custom splash screen with progress bar for Windows Phone applications
This article demonstrates how to create a splash screen with an animated progress bar.
Windows Phone 8
Windows Phone 7.5
The default SplashScreenImage.jpg in windows phone 7 application is a static image. In this article we will add an animated progress bar in the splash screen.
Basic Idea
Here we will use some tips and tricks to add the progress bar in the splash screen. As we know that the default splash screen is SplashScreenImage.jpg and loads when the app starts. We use the Popup class to displays content on top of existing content. In our case the existing content is the default splash screen, so we will add the same splash screen and the progress bar in the Popup class so that the user doesn't have the feel of image change. And thus the user will see the splash screen with an animated progress bar. The BackgroundWorker class is used to run an operation in a separate thread, so that when it expires we close the Popup class.
First lets create a project with Windows Phone Application Template. Once the project is being created, lets create a Windows Phone User Control SplashScreenControl.xaml and add ProgressBar, TextBlock and Image in it. The image is the default splash of the project.
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White" Width="480" Height="800">
<ProgressBar HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="47,692,0,89" Name="progressBar1" Width="383" />
<Image Height="512" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="0,0,0,0" Name="image1" Stretch="Fill" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="480" Source="SplashScreenImage.jpg" />
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="185,656,0,114" Name="textBlock1" Text="Please Wait..." Width="111" Foreground="Black" FontSize="22" />
In MainPage.xaml.cs Constructor we called a function ShowSplash() to load the popup.
private void ShowSplash()
this.popup = new Popup();
this.popup.Child = new SplashScreenControl();
this.popup.IsOpen = true;
First we initialize the Popup class and then set SplashScreenControl class to be hosted in the popup. IsOpen opens the popup. Till now the code will load the splash screen (popup) with the progress bar. Now we will add some background process, and when the background process gets completed we will close the popup as a result user will see the splash screen. Function StartLoadingData() starts and complete the background work.
private void StartLoadingData()
backroungWorker = new BackgroundWorker();
backroungWorker.DoWork += new DoWorkEventHandler(backroungWorker_DoWork);
backroungWorker.RunWorkerCompleted += new RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler(backroungWorker_RunWorkerCompleted);
First we initialize the BackgroundWorker class. We called RunWorkerAsync() function to starts execution of a background operation and thus backroungWorker_DoWork() is called.
void backroungWorker_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
//here we can load data
Here we use the Sleep() function to wait for some time. When backroungWorker_DoWork() gets expired, backroungWorker_RunWorkerCompleted() is called which closes the popup.
void backroungWorker_RunWorkerCompleted(object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() =>
this.popup.IsOpen = false;
Thus user can see a splash screen with the progress bar. To make a continuous progress bar we add the below code in SplashScreenControl.xaml.cs
this.progressBar1.IsIndeterminate = true;
Source Code
The full source code of the example is available here: File:SplashBar.zip

Dartford conservationist Jim Bateson dies at 69
Updated 3:15pm Tuesday 22nd January 2013 in Dartford & Swanley news By Daniel Evans
A KEEN conservationist who volunteered across Dartford has died at the age of 69.
Jim Bateson, a member of the North West Kent Countryside Partnership (NWKCP) and Dartford Council's countryside team, died on December 7 following a short illness.
Mr Bateson joined the NWKCP and the countryside team when he took early retirement in 1996.
He worked with conservation groups for more than 10-years and was involved in projects varying from the planting of trees to building and repairing fences.
Sites such as Dartford Heath, Darenth Valley, Brooklands Lakes and Joydens Wood were all maintained by Mr Bateston.
When Dartford Council took over the old Darenth Hospital site in 1997, Mr Bateson was involved from the beginning, working with the rangers to create the popular Darenth Country Park.

The Most Notorious Stache in the SFFD
We are five days away from the end of 2013′s GYS fundraiser and not only have we raised more money than last year, but we have more Red Feather Society members as well!! Such a huge accomplishment is motivation to keep pushing hard this last week and try to put our total over $100k! Grow Your Stache has given us a chance to revisit the long standing relationship between firefighters and their mos. I am fortunate enough to work for the San Francisco Fire Department and around the kitchen table there is one smoke filter that has notoriety above all the rest. The silver beauty would be classified by the American Mustache Institute as a "Walrus" style mustache, but we simply know it as "The Goose." Division 3 chief Tom Siragusa has been with the SFFD for 30 years, but his relationship with his best friend stems back to his high school days. Shaving only to be within dress code to play sports, a young Tom has been preparing his lip for follicle glory since puberty. After graduation nothing came between Tom and his mo. The heat of countless fires have never singed Tom's bristle baton, but the smell of smoke lingers days after. According to The Goose himself, the only down side to having a mustache is when it catches food while he eats. About ten years ago Tom shaved his stache and once it grew back he promised his mo that they would never be apart again. A tip of the hat to Chief Tom Siragusa and his commitment to facial follicle glory.

About the AuthorKristianne Koch Photography
thoughtgap San Clemente, CA
After receiving my BFA in fine art photography, I embarked on intermittent travel and mountaineering expeditions through Africa, Europe, Mexico and the United States. In 1997 I met my husband and soon after we set out on a life changing adventure together. We sailed from San Diego, CA to the South Pacific and then north to Hawaii. The first leg of our two year trip was 3200 nautical miles at sea with no sight of land for 27 days. The passage was lonely, exhausting and hallucinatory yet it aroused my passion for the sea. No communication with the outside world forced me to acquire a deep sense of faith and secured my penchant for freedom. I began to understand what life was about, how fragile yet how capable we are. Then on the passage from Nuku Hiva to Oahu, I read House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende and came to the realization that my next accomplishment was to become a mother. I still live in a California surf town and work as a commercial and fine art photographer.

We have been coming to Pagosa Springs for many years and staying at Fairfield Pagosa, now called Wyndham Pagosa. We fish and golf, bike and hike, we just love the area and the beautiful surroundings. While biking around the area, we saw a house for sale and bought it last summer. This has been our first summer spent in our mountain retreat and now we are free to travel elsewhere to find new places we have never seen. We have friends come up to visit and if we run out of room, we can just book them into an affiliated resort. It was so wonderful to come here year after year and see that it was a place we would like to spend our summers since we are from the Phoenix, Arizona area and it is too hot to stay there in the summers. We love RCI and exchanging!

The crew is mainly composed of South East Asians however wherever we went onboard they were incredibly polite and could speak passable english, enough to get you what you would want on a cruise. Even if not totally knowledgable they were very helpful in every way. Our waiter at dinner was very polite and he did not try to hide the fact that you had to purchase water, found this a bit penny pinching of MSC but we felt it was not worth it to spoil our dinner for a few euros.Other than that the service I received everywhere from cleaners to officers was adequate if not excellent. Our cabin was cleaned/made up at least 2 times a day.
Very large choice of Food at buffet during lunch but less choice at dinner, contraty to some reports there was some slight variation every day but dinner+breakfast stayed quite similiar throughout though quality of food was excellent. I only ate at the sit down restaurants twice in the whole cruise, food was simply average compared to the buffet. Water+tea is always provided at the buffet free of charge.
Staff at excursion desk were friendly and didn't try to pressure us into buying trips, gave us good alternatives to booking an excursion. We did book one at Istanbul as we felt it was too large to explore by ourselves but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Some are quite pricy though I tried limiting the number we booked.
General appearance:
The ship if anything was extremely clean, the crew was working visibly hard to keep everything polished and clean, pool deck facilities and cleanliness were very good though it does get very crowded on some days.
Other passengers weren't the rude pushy Italians I read, most were polite and Buffet dining was crowded but orderly.
Shows were simply stunning. Dancers, acrobats, singers and actors all performed with great skill and all the shows I watched were spectacular, never failed to impress. Didn't do many of the daytime activities due to visiting ports most of the time.
Overall I found the ship impressive, manned by helpful and polite staff and English speaking passengers just as well catered for as the Italians. Food was excellent but the sit down restaurants need a bit of work and there are quite alot of charges of everything onboard such as bar surcharges, water etc..but I was very glad to pay everything at the end.

The blackouts are a reminder that the time for cosmetic changes in the power sector is over. It is time politics gave way to hard reason.
Two black-outs on consecutive days – the first in the northern region and the second, a far more serious one, affecting nearly 600 million people across the northern, eastern and north-eastern regions – are a grim reminder of the rampant indiscipline plaguing the country's power system. In this case, a couple of States drew more electricity than agreed upon, bringing down in the process, the quality of power available in the grid. The absence of balance between consumption and generation, in turn, forced the power stations to back down as a safety measure, eventually resulting in practically the entire northern region suffering a grid collapse.
The culprits behind all this are known, but, as before, action is unlikely. It is not just a question of tightening the rules or making penalties more stringent for such acts. There is already a grid code in place to ensure integrated operations of the national power system, a permissible frequency range needed to be maintained at all times for its stability, and rules specifying the penalties to be levied on States that overdraw. The problem is the inability to enforce. The regional load despatch centres have no powers to cut off supplies to States violating the grid code, which only encourages them to commit such acts with impunity. In fact, many States have run up huge arrears in their so-called unscheduled interchange penalties, levied for not adhering to grid discipline. All this only reinforces the point that the time for mere cosmetic makeovers, as far as the power sector goes, is over. Right now, the problem may be due to the failure of the monsoon. Had the rains been normal, not only would more hydel generation have been possible, but paddy and sugarcane farmers in the North wouldn't have had to run their electric motors overtime. The latter is what seems to have kept electricity demand high at this time, even with the peak summer load behind us. Either way, it has led to the States concerned resorting to overdrawal from the grid, instead of seeking to augment their own generation capacities. That, of course, is a more difficult task, when the distribution companies are bankrupt because of politicisation of tariff-setting and have no money to pay the generating firms, which, in turn, cannot expand their capacities. It is a vicious cycle, indeed.
The latest blackout should serve as the trigger for our politicians and planners to realise that the demand for electricity is increasing by the day, and tariffs have to match generation, transmission and distribution costs. Consumers are already paying a high price for poor electricity supply, in the form of inverters or noisy diesel gensets. The country requires an optimal mix of base load and peaking stations, with a small percentage as spinning reserve. It is also time to introduce time-of-day metering, wherein peak hour power is charged higher than in off-peak hours. And lastly, we need grid discipline to be enforced more effectively.


text: A Turtle-Themed Helmet Party For Kids With Plagiocephaly A "Tortilly Adorable" Turtle Party to Raise Awareness For a Serious Issue by Rebecca Gruber 3/17/12 0 Reactions 69 Shares Print 38 26 5 0 0 In this race, it's the tortoise that always wins! When party planner extraordinaire Kate Landers got over the shock of her newborn son's plagiocephaly (a flattened spot on the back or side of the head) and torticollis (shortened or damaged neck muscles) diagnoses, she knew she had to use her talents to raise more awareness of the issues. Known for her detail-oriented birthday parties (this was the Wizard of Oz soiree and an ice cream party she shared with us), she got to work on a party that celebrated baby Noah's new helmet. She explained: I decided to throw a party! This party was not only to debut his helmet to our immediate family, but also to educate them on his condition, share the physical therapy exercises they can do when taking care of Noah, and provide creative answers to give people should they ask about Noah and his helmet. Planning this party was great therapy for me, and I hope planning a helmet party might be therapeutic for others as well (especially as there are other medical conditions that offer helmet therapy)! Check out the details of the party (and links for free printable party supplies) in the photos that follow! A Tortoise Theme What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 According to Kate, "I wanted to do something cute, sweet, and appropriate for a baby. My husband Ryan and I immediately thought of turtle shells when we saw the helmet, and decided on a turtle theme. Torticollis sounded like tortoise, and we rolled it into 'tortilly', and since Noah and other babies we saw with helmets at Children's Hospital were so darn adorable in their helmets, we thought we'd call it a 'Tortilly Adorable' party." 1 / 5 The Color Scheme What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Kate wanted to create something fun and preppy that both boys and girls could enjoy. She turned to Paula of Frog Prince Paperie to donate custom printables that showcased the periwinkle/lime sherbet color story, with accents in light blue, yellow and white that appear in the madras patterns and turtle silhouettes. The printables can be downloaded for free. 2 / 5 The Dessert Table What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Food was an essential part of the party, but Kate tried to keep it small. She said, "I went with a very small sofa table so I wouldn't go overboard adding too many sweets. I saw the brilliant idea of a paper plate backdrop by Piggy Bank Parties, and decided to go that route, making it a double-layer of plates to look like the details on the back of a turtle shell. The backdrop was inexpensive, festive, and reinforced the color-scheme and theme with great texture, too! We also stacked the white favor cartons on the table, which were full of adorable printable stickers, glitter glue, faux flowers and other goodies to decorate helmets with." 3 / 5 The Guest of Honor What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Kate hadn't planned on lil Noah's helmet becoming party of actual party decor, but as she explained, "Little did we know that Noah's helmet was going to be a periwinkle color — we ordered light blue and expected it as such — we in fact LOVE the color he got, and I couldn't resist placing it on the dessert table (since it wasn't officially worn yet) to get a great photo." 4 / 5 Helmet Designing What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 To keep the kids and adults busy at the party, Kate set up a helmet-decorating station. She said, "Everyone said they wished they could wear a helmet in Noah's place . . . so we went with that, and had everyone wear and decorate helmets they brought/we provided at the party! It was a lot of fun to see everyone enjoying themselves in the process! We set up a table with glue guns, grosgrain ribbons, foam cut outs and more, so people could pick and choose how to decorate their helmets." Among the decorations Kate provided were preppy helmet stickers, initial stickers in pink and blue, and other designs that can all be downloaded for free. 6 / 5 38 26 5 0 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More Food And FunPlagiocephaly And TorticollisKate LandersTurtles Food and Fun 66 Fabulous and Unique Birthday Cakes For Baby and Tot 6 hours ago 25 Cakes For Your Little Prince or Princess 3 days ago 15 Fun Food Ideas Your Kids Can Make on Their Own 3 days ago 10 Tricks For Organizing Your Kids' Craft Area 4 days ago 51 of the Best Birthday Party Ideas For Girls 4 days ago Christina Aguilera's a Mom Again — Did You See Her Baby Shower Cake!? 5 days ago Link Love Mom forced to stop feeding baby homemade formula — BabyCenter Blog The easiest ways to save on organic food — The Stir A look inside Fergie's second baby shower — Celebrity Baby Scoop Danielle Jonas debuts her baby bump — People Moms & Babies 7 light and fresh recipes to take you through Summer — FitPregnancy Does where you live affect your risk for PPD? — The Bump Where to find the best deals on school supplies — Real Simple Now this is how you announce a pregnancy! — HuffPost Parents

I have the Pro-Optic flavor of this lens and find it fun to play with, both stills and time lapse. I de-clicked it for video. A fisheye is something I would not want to spend a lot of money on but I was happy with the price.
I used it with a 40D to take a time lapse of my homemade motorized slider in action, which was carrying a 60D with a Tokina 11-16/2.8 attached.
I don't know the policy on linking to / embedding youtube videos here on CR, so change 'yertube' in the pseudo-links below to 'youtube' to make them work
Text from fisheye video, which is at
Home made slider running for about 7 hours. Taken with Canon 40D and RokSamBow 8mm fisheye. One 15 second exposure every minute. On the slider is a 60D taking three 15 second exposures per minute. Note my neighbor's TRULY ANNOYING security light, I'll have to ask her nicely to aim it in a different direction or shield it. The timelapse made with this setup is at yertube.com/watch?v=WBwNGcLGH1g
I don't know that I want to, but how do you de-click it?


text: A private course nestled in the McCullough Mountain foothills of southern Nevada, DragonRidge Country Club marks the initial alliance of renowned architects Jay Morrish and David Druzisky. And the results are truly spectacular, with many top golf publications ranking DragonRidge among the best courses in the country. The championship course, surrounded by six figure homes in the prestigious MacDonald Highlands community, includes historic hallmarks rich in Scottish heritage. With its wide fairways and desert washes highlighted by natural stone outcroppings and strategic bunkers, the 18-hole, par-72 course is truly stunning. And thanks to its range of shot options and play choice, DragonRidge is as playable as it is rewarding for casual and skilled golfers alike. Voted "Best Upscale Golf Course" by VegasGolfer Magazine in 2004, DragonRidge also has a 60,000 square foot practice area. With a driving range, two bent grass putting greens and a short game area featuring sand bunkers, the practice center is lavishly well-equipped. And thanks to the unlimited golf balls and attendants on hand to clean clubs, coordinate start times and offer helpful advice, it's also as full service as they come. The center staffs golf professionals for more comprehensive instruction and offers an impressive clubhouse with the finest of amenities, both elements of distinction that help put DragonRidge Country Club in a class by itself.

---- — For more than 100 years, The Salvation Army has rung bells to celebrate the holidays and help the needy.
This year, their bells have been ringing since Nov. 12 all over the North Shore, at the red kettles in which they accept donations.
"At any one time, we have 25 businesses that allow us to stand in front of their location," said Capt. Scott McNeil of The Salvation Army in Salem. "We'll go through every day, except Sundays, right to Christmas Eve."
While the holiday season only lasts a few weeks, the donations collected during this time make a difference all year.
"It's the most important fundraiser, to keep us open and operating," McNeil said.
The Salvation Army has already used some of those funds to distribute more than 400 meals, complete with turkey "and all that goes with it," in time for today's Thanksgiving dinner.
Through their Angel Trees program, The Salvation Army will also try to make the holidays special for children by providing not just any gift, but the one they really want for Christmas.
Angel Trees are Christmas trees, placed at local businesses, that are decorated with slips of paper on which children have written a gift request.
Members of the public are invited to buy the present a child has asked for, then return it with the slip to make some youngster's Christmas dreams come true.
Anyone who would like to participate but can't find an Angel Tree is welcome to call The Salvation Army's Salem office and ask for a gift request.
The phone number at The Salvation Army in Salem is 978-744-5181.
"We're always looking for businesses to host an Angel," McNeil said. "Also, possibly, for someone to adopt a family."
Such adoptions, which are conducted in strictest confidence, would link a potential donor with a family that needs help during the holidays.
"Call the office," McNeil said, "and speak to Linda Labbe or Katina Polemenako. Just ask either one of them about adopting a family for the Christmas season."
"They can discuss what size family they'd like to adopt, how many children, maybe a certain situation. We try to match you with people who need assistance. We keep names confidential. There's no interaction at all," he said.
The Salvation Army's mission extends beyond the holidays, to running a food pantry and covering basic needs like fuel assistance and warm clothes, and providing rent and utility assistance in emergencies.
That's why it's important to make donations, not only with the holidays in mind, but with an eye toward the work The Salvation Army does all year.
Readers of The Salem News can contribute through this newspaper, by sending a check made out to "Salvation Army Holiday Fund" to: ECN Holiday Fund, 32 Dunham Road, Beverly, MA 01915.
Since the ECN fund goes to several different areas, contributors should indicate in the memo line of the check, or in an enclosed note, which community they would like their contribution to go to: that covered by The Salem News, the Gloucester Daily Times or The Daily News of Newburyport.
McNeil said there are also online "kettles" where the Salvation Army accepts donations.
"To donate to the North Shore, go to www.onlineredkettle.org/northshore — that will keep it local with us," he said.
McNeil also shared the message at the heart of The Salvation Army's mission.
"We're really a church, and we believe that Jesus is the reason for the season," he said. "That's our foundation, what we stand on.
"We're here helping people with need without discrimination. We don't care what their lifestyle is, or what life choices they've made. If they're in need, we want to help them."

Geronimo ji-Jaga: Tributes from Black Panther comrades and current political prisoners
Tribute to Geronimo broadcast Wednesday, June 8, 2011, on KPFA's Morning Mix hosted by Minister of Information JR Valrey
Geronimo returns to his ancestors
by Mumia Abu-Jamal
Geronimo's life was one of intense and almost total warfare, from battles in his youth on behalf of the U.S. Empire in the steaming jungles of Vietnam to his membership and leadership of the Los Angeles chapter of the Black Panther Party where he fought for his people.
The FBI-inspired killing of Los Angeles Black Panther Leader Alprentice "Bunchy" Carter led to Geronimo's rise as the chapter's deputy minister of defense. During a police raid on the Central Avenue office on Dec. 8, 1969, Geronimo so prepared the site that it withstood over six hours of a police paramilitary assault with automatic weapons and grenades.
Geronimo's prominence and shine in the shadows of Hollywood so disturbed the state, local and federal governments that they framed him for a murder that it was impossible for him to commit and sent him to prison for 27 years.
When he was freed, it was because of an insistent, national movement and because federal government files revealed he was nearly 300 miles away when the murder took place. Also, the state's chief witness was not only an LAPD undercover agent, but a snitch for the Los Angeles DA's office as well as the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department – an agency that formerly employed him.
Upon his liberation, Geronimo, after going across the country to thank his supporters, left the land of his birth and joined a small expatriate community near Arusha, Tanzania.
Like several other ex-Panthers, he could never entrust his life or his freedom to the U.S. government.
Though he spent the balance of his years under a brilliant African sun, one suspects he longed for the rhythms of his native Louisiana – which remained in his speech and its accents.
It was in Louisiana, after all, that he learned about Black armed self-defense, for this was fertile ground for the Deacons for Defense, an armed body which resisted and forcefully discouraged Ku Klux Klan violence in the region.

In memory of G. ji-Jaga
by Sistah Sheba, Black Panther Party
I too have grieved over trifles,
Yet though I am sad, I have some satisfaction
For I think vindication is precious,
And he was vindicated a decade and a half before he returned to our faith-filled ancestors.
I have some satisfaction,
For I witnessed an adamantine integrity,
Yes adamantine means diamond-like, hard, bright, unbreakable,
Set in a sterling character that valued humanity more than diamonds and gold.
Every effort to free Geronimo was justified and rewarded by his conduct;
Everyone who joined the struggle to free all political prisoners was renewed and refreshed by his commitment to humanity and clean water;
Everywhere he went he left evidence of compassion and good deeds.
So, although I'm sad, I have some satisfaction,
Geronimo is free!
Thanks to Black Panther veteran and Bay View columnist Kiilu Nyasha for forwarding this tribute.
Transition of a soldier
by Marina Drummer for the International Campaign to Free the Angola 3 (Black Panther political prisoners)
From that moment on, the effort took on a life of its own, but geronimo ji-Jaga was always there to support it. In 2001, geronimo provided us with a statement of support for the Angola 3 coalition's first newsletter. It barely seems possible that just a few weeks ago, geronimo attended the commemoration of Herman and Albert's 39th year in solitary confinement in New Orleans.
geronimo's generous nature and philanthropic efforts were given full reign during his 14 years of freedom. His work through the Kuji Foundation, which he founded, and his deep ties to Africa are just two of the many highlights of what he contributed during his years in minimum security.
We are thankful that his passing was swift and know that those of us whose lives he touched will forever keep him in our hearts. To the thousands of political prisoners in America's Gulags, his contribution is an inspiration and his warrior spirit lives on wherever freedom struggles continue.
In 2001, geronimo issued the following statement in support of the Angola 3:
"Robert King Wilkerson, Albert Woodfox and Herman 'Hooks' Wallace are very dear to me because they come from my home state of Louisiana. The Louisiana chapter of the Black Panther Party was one of the best chapters we organized and they were some of our best, most disciplined soldiers. They were the kind of soldiers who never cried out to anyone for help, even though they were facing life imprisonment.
"Understand that after being in that kinda situation for so long, I can personally attest to the highly disciplined and dedicated nature of these askaris [soldiers in Swahili and Arabic]. They endured and they survived, over all the years, with very little help from the outside world. They are the kind of unsung heroes who we must come forward to help, because they never asked for anything from us in exchange for suffering what they have suffered.
(*His way of being humble, geronimo never capitalized his name, so out of respect for him here, we spelled it as he did.)
Send some love and light to the two members of the Angola 3 who remain behind enemy lines: Herman Wallace, 76759, CCR, B-6, EHCC, P.O. Box 174, St. Gabriel, LA 70776; Albert Woodfox, 72148, NIA 3-CCR, David Wade Correctional Center, 670 Bell Hill Rd., Homer, LA 71040.
Geronimo ji-Jaga Pratt
by Lynne Stewart, political prisoner
The loss of Geronimo is so difficult because he was robbed of the opportunity to contribute to the long term struggle for liberation of the Black community in his most productive years. Yes, there was always a mention or a placard, "Free Geronimo Pratt!" But his ability to publicly inspire and uplift was jailed at San Quentin. He was there in his 20s, 30s and 40s. The movement suffered. Hoover [J. Edgar Hoover, longtime head of the FBI] and his like triumphed. We must now undo this evil.
By torture chambers I mean, of course, the prison "holes." Those places of solitary confinement where loneliness and total lack of human contact drive people mad. Even the strong are "modified." Many of those who have been jailed in this way are political prisoners.
Many of them have been in 24-hour lockdown for more than 20 years and face the rest of their lives there. I really don't need to name names – they are engraved on my heart and I hope on yours. Just check the Jericho website for a complete rundown. And also, dare I say it, the Project Salaam listing of Muslims wrongfully imprisoned.
If we are spared and are still in the world and able to act and activate, it is our primary obligation, if we think of ourselves as political, to take up this struggle and liberate those behind bars. As Mutulu Shakur wrote to me, and I paraphrase, "The faith of those who gave their all and still wait for the dedicated comrades, the People, to bring them home, is greater than any religious devotion."

Leonard Peltier remembers Geronimo Pratt
Greetings to all my friends and compatriots,
To me, he was a friend and an ally. I met him in jail, of course, so many years ago. He always had so much of my respect.
He gave his all to the fight for liberation, justice and equality. His effectiveness as a man and a leader can be measured by the extent to which the enemies of justice and equality went to in order to try and silence him. It wasn't enough to frame him for murder. It wasn't enough to flush 27 years of his life down a hell hole. No, they had to take those closest to him as well.
But even the simultaneous losses of his freedom and the lives of his wife and unborn child could not break him. All the lies and injustices they could muster could not subdue such greatness. The combined resources of the FBI, Los Angeles police and the Los Angeles district attorney's office couldn't defeat him.
What those in power did not understand was that Geronimo ji-Jaga Pratt was no ordinary man. He was a giant among men and remained focused during the most trying times. What they did not comprehend was that you can jail the warrior but not his ideas, his strength or his affect on others.
No one would have blamed him if, after 26 years in jail, he wanted to live a private life and age gracefully. True to his nature, he continued to be a light in the darkness, fighting for human rights until his death. He gave everything to the issues which he held most dear. In doing so, he inspired generations of young people who carry on his legacy.
Perhaps it is fitting that this statement is being prepared on the anniversary of his false conviction being vacated. With that in mind, now that I think about it, this can and should be a time of celebration. Rather than mourn a loss of such magnitude, let us rejoice that we were blessed with such a presence to begin with.
The history of mankind is not written by corrupt governments or their shadow agencies. It is formed by greatness of spirit and strength of mind. This is why Elmer Pratt will always be remembered and honored as a prophet and perhaps even a saint to his people. I know wherever he is, he is speaking truth to power and rallying spirits to his cause.
This was not a spark that died! He was a fuse igniting a series of events that we have yet to fully understand. I am certain in the fullness of time that he will be celebrated, while those who opposed him and their descendants will hang their heads in shame. It is this knowledge that makes me smile, and weep tears of great appreciation.
In the spirit of crazy horse … Doksha,
Leonard Peltier

geronimo ji-Jaga
by Sundiata Acoli
geronimo ji-Jaga was a true "Top Soldier." Highly skilled in warfare, tested and proven on the battlefields of Vietnam, he returned stateside to put his expertise at the service of the Black Panther Party, the Black Liberation Army and other select organizations of the era. He saved many lives. He made many soldiers.
G fought to the end. He gave all that he had and we Afrikans, and others oppressed, are all the better for it. We are forever in his debt.
May the ancestors receive him with their proudest salute to a returning soldier.

I am sorry for the lost of this man.
The Supreme Court upheld the constitution and California must reduce the number of prisoners it packs in like cattle at feedlots.
Too many of those people are innocent. Support the innocence project.
BAN the BOX on government, rental, and employment forms that one is suppose to check if one has ever been incarcerated regardless of how many years one has been crime free.↓
Geronimo rest in peace Great Warrior while your untouchable soul lives on.↓
General Giap
he was a warrior brave in battle,
the sun has set for this comrade
now he is a warrior harmonizing with the ancestors↓

"In my sophomore year, I contacted Dina El-Mogazi, director of the campus greening initiative of the Environmental Center, about building a green roof at Bucknell. We secured funding for materials, labor and engineering from the Degenstein Foundation, the College of Engineering and the Office of the Provost. That summer, we collaborated with staff members from facilities and a few other students to install a 600-square-foot area filled with soil and sedum. || Read more

And there are Justin Verlander's runs. Ease up, fellas. He'll take it from here.
Except that's too glib by half. Because Jarod Parker is pitching almost as well as Verlander -- his change-up is filthy, and he's locating well. Pitchers throwing well can still get dinged. The A's can still get to Verlander.
All things being equal, though, being down 2-0 to Verlander in an elimination game is kind of messed up.
Omar Infante singled to open the inning, moving to second on a wild pitch. Austin Jackson doubled him home on a slider low in the zone for the Tigers' first run. With no one out, manager Jim Leyland had Quintin Berry bunt Jackson to third, which is just a terrible, horrible decision to, wait, hey, it worked. A wild pitch in front of Derek Norris brought home the second run of the inning.
Parker then got Miguel Cabrera to fly out, and he made Prince Fielder look like Emmanuel Burriss with a three-pitch strikeout, all change-ups. But the damage was done, and the Tigers hold a 2-0 lead that must seem more like a 4-0 lead with Verlander on the mound.
Alright, so I'm a Verlander fanboy. But, still.

Walkers angry over Blackburn waste bin overflow
3:00pm Thursday 29th May 2014 in News By Katie Mercer, Reporter
BINS in Witton Wood are overflowing with rubbish, and dog walkers say that they haven't been emptied for more than two weeks.
Residents said they have been complaining to Blackburn with Darwen council about the state of litter in the wood over a number of months after becoming concerned that the bins were not emptied twice weekly as the council promised.
It was noted by dog walkers that the litter inside bins at the bottom of the wood had not been collected for sixteen days. One Livesey resident said: "It's just disgusting, isn't it?
"The council really need to do something about it. They should be emptying the bins regularly so that rubbish isn't floating around the park and the woods.
"People have been complaining about this for a long time and nothing seems to get done and it's a real shame.
"It's a lovely area for families and young people but I wouldn't be happy for my five-year-old niece to play around here."
Alan Cottam, ward councillor for Livesey and Pleasington said: "This problem has been reported to me and I had hoped that something would be done about it by now.
"I realise they will have lost a few days with the bank holiday and there was a big food event last weekend that has probably caused more rubbish, but the council knew that was happening and something should have been put in place.
"If people are throwing litter on the floor, that's a different animal and we have to tackle that too."
No-one from the council was available to confirm when the bins in Witton Wood were last emptied but a spokesman did confirm that rubbish was scheduled to be collected every Monday and Friday.
Tony Watson, head of Environment and Public Protection, said: "The emptying of the bins in Witton Park was affected by the Bank Holiday weekend, and normal collection of litter will take place this week. We aim to empty the bins in Witton Park twice weekly. "

That said; nice to see that the dog walkers have picked up their 'dog eggs' and dumped it there, instead of taking it home with their pooches, further contributing to the noisome bin itself!
Don't you dare come on these columns, complaining about how the Council, utterly fed up of your wholly inconsiderate behaviour, has banned all dogs, from all parks in the Borough, as you have only yourselves to blame, by what is evidenced in this picture.
Me; I'd follow you home, then, whilst you were sleeping, get me and a few mates, to take a dump on your front lawns, to see how you liked it!
The parks of this Borough are, the green, open spaces, where people whom work long, hard hours, in those 'dark satanic mills' of old, get to enjoy some richly deserved clean, fresh air and not the malodorous whiff of dog excrement, whilst having a picnic.
I once lived in a city that trialled a dog path but the smell was so overpowering that, even dog walkers refused to use it. So plans to do that will get my veto.
You port your pet, it poops; so take it and it's output, to your own home, so that others can enjoy the open spaces. It's not a big ask is it, to be considerate of others?
You really don't want to contend with the output of a few beery men, after a Vindaloo, on your front lawn, trust me.
(Some of them, make my air freshener, cough!)

A neighbour is disabled and have taken advantage of the councils disabled persons bin emptying service. Unfortunately rather than the bins being taken to the vans if the contents are bagged they are lifted out by hand but unfortunately the lids are left open afterwards. The bins therefore fill with rain water and become too heavy to empty by anyone who is disabled. Therefore I have drilled a hole in the base so when the lids are left open the rain can drain out. If the lids can not be closed afterwards perhaps a similar drain hole could be added to future designs?

Darwen graduate wins place in New Sensations show at Saatchi Gallery
4:00pm Thursday 30th August 2012 in Leisure
A DARWEN art student's sculptures created with the help of a Blackburn firm have been featured in a display at the Saatchi Gallery in London.
Natasha Peel, 21, is one of 20 artists featuring in the New Sensations exhibition for young artists in October, having beaten competition from more than 800 entries.
The Blackburn College graduate, who studied fine art at Oxford University, created a series of plastic sculptures aimed at subverting the branding of major institutions, such as Goldman Sachs and HSBC.
The sculptures were created using equipment from Blackburn-based Silicone Engineering Ltd, who sponsored Natasha's work.
She said: "The show is part of the Freeze exhibition, and they have have big shows like this in a lot of countries.
"This is the big one in London that happens every year and it's a big deal. A lot of people from all over the world come and see it.
"Quite a few famous artists like Tracy Emin and Damien Hirst have featured in Freeze, and Mr Hirst finances the New Sensation show now."
The show's sponsors include Channel 4 and The Times, both of which Natasha hopes will feature her work.
She said the display has brought back her love of creating works of art.
She said: "I was disappointed that I didn't get a first in my degree so I was sort of giving up on my art, but it is reassuring to see that people like it."

Excerpt: Publicly, NFL coaches and generals managers said things were business as usual. "Whatever the rules are, there will be the same rules for 32 teams," Chiefs G.M. Scott Pioli said. That's true, but not all 32 teams face the same challenges. Pioli's Chiefs are relatively well situated to handle a summer off. Others aren't so lucky.
Steelers chairman Dan Rooney has arrived from Ireland. Weighs in on labor. Still doesn't like 18 games. "I would rather not have the money." Rooney expressed his concern about the lack of progress in negotiations with a small group of reporters, but also noted the league's continued success. "The games this year couldn't be better. The ratings are high. So why would you step back?" Regarding a lockout, Rooney said "We should not let the disruption of next season happen," and added, "The players, of course, want to play, and that's what should happen."
"The NFL players' union is advising its members to prepare for a lockout it expects to come in March, telling players to save their last three game checks this year in case there is no season in 2011."

If you want the town to follow the law and have us residents vote on this new huge development that will greatly increase traffic around three schools, a fire station and two retirement homes, you must vote the incumbents out, and vote for Nealis, Sullivan, and Jelincic.

Whether you are pro development or anti development, or somewhere in between (like me). I am not opposed to development but it must be done in a manner that is thoughtful of the surrounding residents and respectful of the character of the community.
My issue is that the incumbent town council would rather make their deal with the developers (don't forget, money is involved here - development fees and future tax revenue) and not honor their obligation to honor the requirements of Measure S (which we voted in a number of years ago). If the town council thinks this is such a good thing for Danville and that it honors the character of the community, then why would they spend so much effort and money to fend off the request of their own citizens to put it to a vote and work so hard to circumvent the legal process we all voted for?
Politicians who fail in their obligation to listen to their constituency should hear from the citizens, and you have a perfect opportunity to give power to the voice of the community by exercising your right to vote next week.

Lincoln Fencing Club would like to thank Joba Chamberlain's Dream 62 Foundation for making the new Joba Chamberlain Wheelchair Fencing Program possible. The club will begin offering the program in August, and thanks to the Dream 62 Foundation's support, we have already acquired the necessary equipment and renovated to provide an accessible restroom.
LFC aims to provide a safe, family-centered, personally challenging fencing program, and thanks to Joba and his foundation, we are excited to have the opportunity to expand this mission to include athletes with limited mobility.
Thank You again to Joba and his Foundation! "No dream goes unnoticed and with your help we can achieve a new dream everyday."
Welcome to the Lincoln Fencing Club. Our mission is to provide a safe, family-centered, personally challenging fencing program that develops people as well as fencers.
LFC believes in:
|Safety - First and foremost
|Respect - For ourselves and those around us
|Responsibility - For our own actions, on and off the fencing strip
|Inclusiveness - Everyone is welcome
Fencing is for everyone:
|Youth - Eight and older, who wish to learn a new sport and compete recreationally
|Adults - Who want to learn a new sport for social, fitness, or recreational purposes
Experienced Fencers - Who want to reach their maximum potential competitively
Reminder: If Lincoln Public Schools are canceled because of weather, LFC will also be closed!
Due to a change in USA Fencing's insurance policy, every fencer now has to be a member of USFA for our club to be insured. A noncompetitive membership is available for only $5 for the year; the competitive rate is $65 for the year (they have eliminated the family discount). Please take a minute and fill out your USFA membership registration information online now. We will be checking every fencer's USFA status before they are able to fence.

Thai Turkey Lettuce Wraps
Weeknights are busy and many parents find themselves preparing the same meals over and over again. While ground meats are wonderful time savers, even beloved tacos and turkey burgers get boring after awhile. Why not mix it up a bit with some quick and easy Thai food? This tangy, Asian-inspired meal is just as simple as tacos, but tastes so fresh and fun. I prefer to eat it as a lettuce wrap, but the kids like it over rice. Don't let the fish sauce scare you away, it isn't particularly fishy and it lends a great depth of flavor to the dish. But if you can't find it in your supermarket (or don't want to try it), substituting equal parts soy sauce is fine too.Read More

This morning, I headed to Starbucks for my daily coffee fix but wound up leaving with all eight of the treats in tow. (If you feel tempted as well, hold out until the afternoon, then score some of them for free.) Did the newest Starbucks menu offerings satisfy that sweet tooth, or leave something to be desired? We put them to the test to find out. What Are Petites, Anyway? What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 What's the shtick, you might wonder? Well, here's the deal: Starbucks's Petites are designed to be miniature versions of full-size sweet treats. Instead of ordering that slice of tiramisu, the company hopes you'll reach for the $1.50, 200-calorie version instead. 1 / 10 Red Velvet Whoopie Pie What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Here at Sugar HQ, we love red velvet cake, and we're big fans of the whoopie pie, so we thought we'd love this mini rendition. But while the cake had a nice flavor, the frosting was far too sweet. 2 / 10 Lemon Sweet Square What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 With its flaky brown butter shortbread crust and iced tart lemon curd, this dessert was our favorite of the tasting. It wasn't too sweet or too tart; the end product was, really, just right. At 120 calories, it was also the least caloric of the Petites offerings. 3 / 10 Carrot Cake Mini Cupcake What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Consensus: the cupcake won the worst of tasting award. "It tastes like dirt," remarked one taster. Both the cake and the frosting had an unpleasantly earthy off-flavor. 4 / 10 Peanut Butter Mini Cupcake What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Call it the curse of the mini cupcakes: tasters didn't like this one, either. While it wasn't as unpleasant as its carrot cake counterpart, the peanut butter frosting tasted salty and sesame-like, and the chocolate cake was almost bitter. 6 / 10 Salted Caramel Sweet Square What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you like chocolate and caramel, this is the Petite for you. The caramel was gooey, a perfect foil to the crunch of pretzels and pecans. I personally would've loved just a slightly bigger hit of salt. 6 / 10 Cake Pops! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 These uber-trendy, portable desserts-on-a-stick have been the talk of the Petites collection. I couldn't wait to see if they lived up to their hype. 7 / 10 Rocky Road Cake Pop What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The chocolate cake, dark chocolaty coating, marshmallows, and almond pieces are a lot to field in the mouth, but the texture is pleasant and the flavor decent. Overall, a solid Petites pick. 8 / 10 Tiramisu Cake Pop What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Less texture than the Rocky Road Cake Pop revealed that the Petites cake pops have a doughy, almost undercooked consistency. This keeps them moist on the inside. 9 / 10 Birthday Cake Pop What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Our favorite cake pop was a contemporary version of the birthday classic. This tiny Tim would be the perfect flavor to buy for a friend or co-worker who's advancing another year — or just for that midafternoon sweet tooth! Have you tried any of the new Petites?

Fracking debate to highlight East Lancashire implications
3:00pm Thursday 27th February 2014 in News
A MAJOR debate on shale gas extraction, fracking, and its implications for East Lancashire is set to take place on Monday.
Last December the Lancashire Telegraph revealed that swathes of the M65 corridor from north of Blackburn through Burnley, Pendle and parts of the Rossendale Valley could be potential sites for the process – the hydraulic fracturing of shale rock to reclaim gas.
And North East Lancashire TUC is now bringing together the main supporters of the process and two opponents for a public forum at Burnley Mechanics.
The announcement comes as East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce and three leading academics have thrown their weight behind the fracking cause.
Mike Damms, chief executive of the local chamber, has backed economics professors Jim Taylor, Alasdair MacBean and Robert Rothschild, of Lancaster University, who have signed a letter to the Financial Times, calling on politicians to stop using fracking as a 'political football' and work towards safely developing it as an alternative energy source.
The Burnley event will see officials from Cuadrilla, already granted licences on the Fylde, debate with two environmentalists on the subject of fracking.
In opposition will be Dr Brian Parkin, from Leeds University, and Martin Empson, who has wrote several environmental works.
Peter Thorne, of the TUC group, said: "The debate will be held in Question Time style with speakers given 10 minutes for their opening remarks and then questions from the audience."
Organisers are urging people to attend and hear the arguments from both sides, covering a range of perceived benefits and disadvantages, at the Manchester Road venue from 7.30pm.

4 USA States confirm fracking pollutes their water
There's tons more. It's unlikely the debate will get to the truth. It will be about trying to sell fracking because all the usual evil suspects can make money out of it.

These very deep "unconventional" wells, considered for East Lancs, will be dug into TWO potential sources of gas -- in the Coal Measures and in the Bowland shale strata deeper down.
By modern directional drilling lateral well pipes will be constructed, splaying outwards a mile or so from each vertical well along any layers with gas potential. . Take note -- Our Government is in the process of removing the requirement for surface occupants to be notified when drilling is to go beneath their property.
This work is totally different form coal mining where there was always a concern to remove water. This drilling process adds chemically laced water at incredibly high pressure, devised to flood and penetrate underground.
Gas will not be released from the target rocks until they are deliberately disturbed by explosions. The fractures thus caused are then widened further by water pressure..
So they are totally different from the old "conventional" shallow wells, such as that at Elswick in the Fylde. In such cases gas rises naturally and any "fracking" to encourage this natural flow has been only on a very small scale.
There's been only ONE well in the UK so far which has had some fracturing by the unconventional high volume hydraulic fracturing method.. .This was the Preese Hall well at Weeton in the Fylde -- where the work by the Cuadrilla company triggered earthquakes and deformed the well.
Gas flow from fracked wells soon slows and wells go dud. Some re-fracking may be done, but will not produce as much as in the first flush.
Therefore repeated drilling of brand new wells is required to target fresh areas of rock..
Ultimately MANY THOUSANDS of wells will have to be dug to hope to extract enough gas to make a profit.
An enormous amount of haulage is needed to bring in supplies to each well and remove toxic and radio active waste water..
Consider ONE item -- These long lateral wells use huge amounts of silica sand to prop open the man-made fractures in the rocks. About 5,000 metric tonnes are needed to drill and frack ONE WELL . Where will the sand be brought from? Cuadrilla got it from Congleton and their Chief Ops Officer says they will continue to source from there. Sand is not stockpiled on the drilling pad. When fracking is underway, wagon convoys will clog the road network. And bring silicosis risk. when handling.
But there's lots more heavy haulage -- pumps, cement, pipes etc.
And MANY more health issues related to toxic water and air pollution.
DO YOUR OWN INTERNET RESEARCH. if you haven't already.
You could start by exploring the highly regarded FRACK OFF website.
And lastly, the article refers to advice from economists and businessmen. Beware. They are not likely to be scientists or engineers.
Do they realise that this fracked gas, on burning, produces as much CO2 as burning any other fossil fuel. Do they realise that fracking allows methane escapes and that methane is a 21 times more potent greenhouse gas than CO2?
Has the economist and business lobby noted increasing fossil fuel consumption and climate change problems looming in the future?
