Dear Editor,
The purpose of this letter is to express my opposition to the extension of the Carolina Beach Boardwalk. In the latest edition of the Island Gazette, the article, "Council hears Boardwalk Project Update: Project to start Sept. 2014" it states that Mr. Averette expressed opposition to the project. Please be advised that there are many people that are opposed to the project including myself. I am a property owner of two condominiums at the Cabana De Mar and am deeply concerned about the negative effects of the Boardwalk extension. Attached please find a copy of my letter to Mr. Braxton Davis, Director, Division of Costal Management explaining the issues.
Thank you for your courtesy.
Michael Murphy
The following is the letter Murphy sent to the State:
Mr. Braxton Davis
Director, Division of Costal Management
400 Commerce Ave.
Morehead City, NC 28557
RE: Carolina Beach Boardwalk Extension
Dear Mr. Davis,
The purpose of this letter is to voice my concerns regarding the extension of the existing Carolina Beach Boardwalk that is currently under consideration. Please be advised that I am writing as a homeowner of two condominiums in the Cabana De Mar complex, #216 and #409, located at 222 Carolina Beach Avenue North, Carolina Beach, NC 28428.
This letter should be construed as an expression of opposition to any Boardwalk extension, either North or South, of the existing Boardwalk currently in place. After reading my concerns below I believe that you will see the concerns are valid and the extension is not the right thing to do. Please review my concerns as follows:
1. This project will severely affect property owners at the Cabana De Mar Condominium complex. There are 76 individually owned units affected by the boardwalk extension. Of major concern will be:
A. SAFETY: Increased issues of vandalism and property trespassing will become an issue and result in loss of privacy and security. This proposal will bring loitering on boardwalk sitting benches, noise, increased foot traffic, litter and trash all in front of a private development.
B. ELEVATION & WIDTH: As proposed, the elevation of the boardwalk has the potential to block the ocean and beach view of homeowners on the first floor. The width of the proposed boardwalk will increase foot, bike and skateboard traffic thus increasing further security and noise concerns to the 76 individual Cabana property owners.
C. LITTORAL RIGHTS: The property owners at the Cabana do maintain littoral rights and fully expect the immediate access and enjoyment of their oceanfront property with unobstructed views of the beach and ocean.
D. PRIVATE PROPERTY ISSUES: The boardwalk extension brings many issues to Cabana homeowners.
The need for increased security, possibly guards, locking gates, privacy fences, moving of current beach access and so on and so forth which all needs to be paid for…and at who's expense?
E. LIGHTING: The lighting on the boardwalk will likely obstruct views of homeowners and cause a glare effect.
F. INSURANCE: Information was requested and received from the Cabana Homeowners Association insurance providers related to damage to our property from storm related debris. Our insurance provider stated that, per Cabana's HOA letter dated April 23, 2014, our property would not be covered from damage inflicted by water driven debris in the instance of a major storm or hurricane.
As you can see, this raises serious questions about a 16 foot wide structure running the length of the property and the impact it could have on our property. Additionally, the Town of Carolina Beach will have no liability or obligation to cover any damages resulting from their structure.
At this point in my life, as a retired person, I am unable to gamble with insurance companies not covering damage to my property. I am willing to bet that my fellow homeowners would agree. In closing, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for listening to my concerns regarding this project. Because I believe that this structure will have a significant negative impact on the homeowners of the Cabana I am asking that you do not support this project and vote NO. Again, thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully submitted:
Michael Dean Murphy
Owner, Cabana De Mar Units

Culture/Religion: based on fear and respect. Gods are very dangerous creatures, sometimes friendly, often not. Temples are the way to make contact with them... if not easier, then at least more concentrated in one place. Were it not for the temples, gods could be running amok among the people. Therefore, mortals have to keep the gods close to temples, entertained and worshipped. It doesn't make the bad ones any friendlier, though (and is no guarantee some won't go on trips now and then). Still, there have to be priests that are hardy men, able to survive the rigours of their position, get a sufficient number of worshippers to make the gods feel important enough, and mediate the contact between mortals and immortals.
In the Middle Ages, and even up to the early twentieth century, most of Europe's executioners were related: the Sansons and Deiblers in France, the Pierrepoints in England, etc. The reason for this was that, it generally not being socially acceptable to, well, kill people, executioners and their children could, generally, only marry other executioners or their children.
The parallels with massively inbred, Hapsburg-style dynasties are obvious- imagine a rather clever but politically inept satirist noting this, and being sentenced by the latter to a meeting with the former; even worse, imagine a dynasty of deranged and deformed executioners- think Texas Chaisaw Massacre with government funding.
Historicly, we have had plenty of rl groups like the Taliban and the Puritans who supressed anything which was in any way fun. What if there was some group that was the opposite? (which in time would cause problems of it's own for the civilians under their control.)
In an isolated mountainous region, the local miners build their stone huts right next to the sarcophagi of their dead. In the winding tunnels of their mines, the spirits of their ancestors toil alongside them, sensing where the best deposits will be found and guiding their picks' strokes.
Rich Romans raised fish in private pools at their villas. A favorite fish was lamprey, a parasitic fish which sucks off blood and flesh but made an excellent meal. A particuarly gruesome punishment for slaves was to be thrown into the lamprey pool, where their flesh was ripped from the bone by swarms of the jawless fish.
Medieval Britons didn't write contracts. Instead, men making agreements would clap their knives onto an altar and recite the agreement three times to seal a deal. Even after the Normans introduced written contracts, British nobles would wrap the parchment around a knife to authenticate it.
In 1500 B.C. in Egypt a shaved head was considered the ultimate in feminine beauty. Egyptian women removed every hair from their heads with special gold tweezers and polished their scalps to a high sheen with buffing cloths.
An example of a mythological worldview misinterpreting scientific practices occurred in Africa, where an aid organization, focusing on slowing and stabilizing population growth, distributed abacuses with red and white beads corresponding to a woman's menstrual cycle. Women were instructed to move one bead a day, only having intercourse on days represented by a white bead. However, the experiment failed, and the population grew in the households using the abacus. The women believed the abaci were magical, and that they would be protected from pregnancy by moving a white bead into the place of the red bead before intercourse.
In a savage area, the bodies of the dead are cremated, and their ashes are placed in a hollowed out pod like a gourd or a coconout and tossed into a river to bring good luck to the tribe.
Pirates' many bejeweled rings and piercings actually had a practical purpose - when the pirate or sailor died, the rings could be taken off as payment for a proper burial, saving him from a watery grave. This could be tied into regional culture, or made into a quest (The Pirate's Lost Rings, etc.). Also gives treasure-seeking divers another thing to look for besides crusty old chests.
In the province of Behar in India, there is a bizarre custom that persists to the present day. Young men are kidnapped at knife (gun) point, and forced into marriage. If they refuse or cause trouble upon meeting their blushing bride-to-be, they are told that their family members will come to harm or even be killed if they resist. Some manage to fall in love or accept their fate. This scenario can be adapted to any rpg, ideally with a pc in the role of the abducted future husband!
There are crimes for which a man is not killed, but chased into the wilds, away from his home and country, to not return or be killed on the spot. In one culture is the condemned mutilated, and even his vocal cords are damaged so that the voice is unrecognizable to his friends and family. This is the punishment for people too obsessed with their own prestige.
What about a 'criminal' society with distinct laws - for stealing, the larger the value of something stolen, the less punishment the courageous thief recieves (but must return it of course). For this pirates(?) caught petty thieves deserve to be punished harshly. If you take, you better take a lot.
I was in a game with a GM that had a Masters in History, who made is a point to mention that the local peasants didn't have wheelbarrows. The rest of the players just shrugged that off but I knew that the GM was trying to tell us the peasants were on the knife edge of starvation.
All that from wheelbarrows? Yes, because before the invention of the wheelbarrow it took two men to carry that load. In it's time the wheelbarrow was the most explosive production multiplier that the peasantry could get their hands on.
This is worth two tips: One about the power of the Wheelbarrow and the other is the moral of the story...that people need to know the point you are trying to make.
"The Cetemi have a most curious custom that in their celebrations must all men don the garb of women and women... the garb of men, to the aim that none shall... know another." -An Account of Barbarian Lands, Lord Shakthur
A demagogue imimates the warrior-king or military officer of a long past age-his followers have the uniforms and weapons of that past time and are a dangerous group.
Carnival revelers wear masks and concealing clothes. (Wearing of masks in Venice was first documented in the late 1200s) It allows for the social classes to mix, easing social tensions.
One day a year is the Day of Turning where those on the bottom of the heap for the rest of the year get to live like Kings. Privates question Generals, the people get a say in running things and there is great merriment and gift giving.
"It is said that among those people they have a loathsome custom- that they keep a spotted dog always waiting beside the gate of the yard where they bury the dead, and that in every funeral they allow this spotted dog to feast upon the dead, so that it grows fat and wise with the knowledge of the dead... Many necromancers do seek out these spotted dogs, and ask of them sciomantic knowledge, or take them as familiars." -Author unknown, "The Ways of the Necromancers"
It is dreadfully rude to carry a fishknife whilst talking to a Merman or Mermaid, as they think of them as we would think of thumbscrews or other torture devices.
Elves are not actually aloof. They are actually extremely family-based and insular, and often intermarry inside their families, making them uncomfortable around those not of their family. Therefore, they shield themselves behind pretended aloofness and coldness until they are comfortable in others' company.

text: Local Leaders: Top 10 Builders in Top 50 MarketsNew leaders stake out a spot on our list of the top 10 builders in the top 50 markets as others fall by the wayside.By Boyce Thompson Click here for the list of the top 50 markets.Some familiar names are missing from our 2008 list of the top 10 builders in the top 50 markets. Kimball Hill disappeared from the list of the top 10 builders in Portland, Ore.; TOUSA, engaged in bankruptcy proceedings, dropped off the list of the top 10 builders in Jacksonville, Fla.; and Taylor Morley, a perennial powerhouse in St. Louis, disappeared after it shut down operations.But as attrition winnowed the home building ranks, with more than 75 major builders either going bankrupt or simply closing their doors last year, new companies emerged as local market leaders, thanks to superior operating formulas, a marketing niche that's right for the times, or just a little good luck. Four builders—Harbour Homes, Camwest Development, Wasatch Management & Development, and Premier Communities—are new to our list of the biggest builders in Seattle. Murray Franklyn, the sixth largest builder there, is betting on Seattle's continued growth.In Chicago, Lakewood Homes, which has been offering consulting services to other builders, and American Invsco, which built out a high-rise condo, dropped off the roster of local titans. That made room for Edward R. James Partners and The Belgravia Group, with its strong sales culture, to make the list.Our Local Leaders list is often used by investment analysts to track the progress of public builders in penetrating and dominating the top markets in the country, since many public companies don't regularly release their results by local market.And in that regard, the list demonstrates the dominance of D.R. Horton, the biggest home builder in America last year. The company is the market leader in 10 of the top 50 markets, and in nine of the top 20. D.R. Horton is a firm believer in the benefits that accrue to the top dog—more clout with subs and suppliers, a first look at the best land deals, and strong sales and marketing efficiencies. However, Horton—which as of March 31, 2009, operated in 77 markets in 27 states—has also scaled back in or extricated itself from several metro markets during the downturn, including Denver and Southern California.As public builders pull out of marginal markets and concentrate on core markets, their ability to finish first grows in importance. Public companies own the No.1 spot in 28 of the 50 markets. The builders with the next-closest number of first place finishes are Pulte and NVR with four, Lennar with three, and KB Home with two."'Market share," though, is a relative term when so little building is going on in major metros. Greater Phoenix, for example, saw its housing permits fall by 58% from 44,280 in 2006 to 18,533 in 2008, according to Census Bureau estimates, throwing many private builders out of business. As a result, the market share of the top 10 builders in Phoenix rose from 58.9% to 74.2%. It remains highly concentrated and in the hands of public companies. Shea Homes is the only private company on the list of top 10 builders in Phoenix. Some markets that had always been wide open have consolidated. In Atlanta, for instance, where the top 10 builders used to command only a 17% market share as recently as 2007, 31% of the activity is now in the hands of the top 10 companies. The leading builder in Atlanta, Legacy Communities, built 1,326 homes, which is a lot for the top builder in this city, a market where big builders have had trouble gaining traction and beefing up.Learn more about markets featured in this article: Dallas, TX, Houston, TX, Virginia Beach, VA, Atlanta, GA, Charleston, SC, Los Angeles, CA, Miami, FL, Phoenix, AZ, San Diego, CA, Seattle, WA. 1 2 3 4 Next Advertisement Keywords: SubjectLocal Markets Housing Data Economic Conditions Charitable Giving LumberyardsLocationDallas, TX PersonBob TollOrganizationD.

For normal day to day life, do you put make up on, put on nice clothes etc, even if you're just staying home or running to the grocery store?
I don't.... and I feel crappy that I dont. DH doesn't give two shits... or so he says. When I'm not at work, I come home, throw my hair in a bun, and wear plaid pajama pants and a tank top or something. I feel like I"m such a mess. Hell, I dont even wear make up to work anymore. I"m just too tired to even care.
I feel like I "owe" it to him to look nice for him, but at the same time, I figure why bother if he doesnt care?
I work full time so I just answered for when I'm not at work. DH and I both just stay in pj's when at home and if I go to the store or somethign I just throw on some jeans, MAYBE mascara. I only get dressed up with make-up and what not when I go out to dinner or a b-day party/event type thing.

Quoting Man. Bear. Pig.:" For normal day to day life, do you put make up on, put on nice clothes etc, even if you're just staying ... [snip!] ... even care. I feel like I "owe" it to him to look nice for him, but at the same time, I figure why bother if he doesnt care?"

I do about 5 times a week. But that's because I have school and then have to do my service learning at an elementary school. If I'm not going anywhere? He'll no I don't...lol
I've been the same way for years. Lately though, I've been getting dressed in the mornings and I try to do something with my hair and maybe throw on some mascara or something.
It makes me feel better and more motivated throughout the day. I thought SO didn't care either, but I find now that he's actually complimenting me more. 8)
I don't dress up in super nice clothes but more than just pajamas and tanks. I usually wear a nice pair of leggings or jeans with a shirt/ cute hoody
I put makeup on for the first time in a couple of months around Valentines day, and realized that I needed new makeup, because apparently I bought what u had in the summer when I was a little darker.
Dh says he doesn't mind that I don't wear makeup or dress up....but I feel like he does.
Not so much anymore. I used to be the kind of girl that woke up everyday and put on makeup and dressed up but I just don't feel like it anymore, lol. I just dress normally and occasionally put makeup on, when I feel like it. Maybe a couple of times a week.
I live with my hair in a bun wearing sweat pants and t-shirts.
I get dressed every day but nothing fancy. If I leave the house I'll put on a little bit of makeup. If we're going out to the city or to a party I'll dress a little nicer and put on a little more makeup. But that's it.
DH says he hates high-maintenance girls and likes it better when I don't wear a lot of makeup and shit.
ETA: I'm a SAHM. I was working as a hairstylist so I had to dress up and wear makeup and pretty much look fabulous everyday. That got exhausting lol.
I'm exactly the same way, except when I worked I wore makeup during the winter every day(the only time I wouldn't sweat it all off in the Houston heat). but other than that, I'm all natural unless we're going out to eat or something.
I do the make-up and hair thing everyday for work
I will also do it on the weekends if we are doing something.
When I am hanging home, I don't "dress up" but I do choose outfits that are...uh.... flattering, DH likes it :oops:
I am in uniform from 7-4 everyday during the week. So most of the time when I get home I immediately change into my workout clothes because they are comfortable and I know I will workout later anyway. But sometimes I will put on a t-shirt and jeans and that is "nice" for me at home lol
If I'm leaving the house I wear makeup, not a ton, but at least foundation, powder, mascera and eyeliner.
I don't "dress up" at all unless we're going out on a date.
Yeah, I mean if we're going out on a date night or somewhere, I"ll put make up on and do my hair. But just to get groceries, mall, etc.... I dont care. I know DH's ex was pretty high maintainance, so I think he's happy it takes me roughly 5 mins to get out of the door.
I may wear make up more if I felt better about myself. The pregnancy/miscarriage and all the weight gain has me feeling horrible. I think when I was thinner, I cared more about putting on make up and stuff.
There's not much I can do with my hair though. Last year, it was black and super long. I cut it all off and donated it, and I'm growing my natural red out. So my hair is currently shoulder length and half black and half red. lmao. Not much more I can do with it besides throw it up on a bun. :lol:
Quoting Kayla [:)]♥:" I never wear make up... Sometimes I straighten my hair. Usually it's in a bun... I do try to wear nice clothes, though."
I see commercials with people doing stuff around the house and they're dressed. I honestly dont understand being dressed at home (jeans/shirt, etc). I mean... I want to, but I feel what's the point. lol

So there are plenty of stories out there about where LBJ would go. Most don't mention the Clippers, and the ones that do are...-sigh-
"How about Los Angeles? I mean, does he really want to surround himself with unexploited talent and create something entirely new? Think about it: Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman, Al Thornton, Baron Davis and Blake Griffin. Then again, it's the Clippers."
Now, KG-reference aside for this article's main theme, we don't even have Al Thorton anymore...-sigh- And yet again, "It's the Clippers" is the slogan as to why (the only reason otherwise) to reject us and not take us seriously...-sigh-
I write this more out of frustration I suppose? But I would also note that if the Clipper Nation is serious on wanting LBJ to consider us and look past the media bias to realize that there is something legitimate here in both opportunity and team, perhaps an organized effort to get that message would be helpful and ideal. Miami created a website to organize an effort to keep Wade. Maybe we should try to do something similar? Any ideas?

Victorious Sunshine Girls return with AFNA trophy
WITH golden trophy in hand to match the occasion of Jamaica's golden anniversary of Independence, the national senior netball team returned to the island yesterday from Trinidad and Tobago victorious in the Americas Federation of Netball Associations (AFNA) Championships, four years after their last win.
"We really wanted to make this one special because it's our country's 50th anniversary and this is our present to them," Jamaica Netball Association (JNA) president, Marva Bernard, told the Jamaica Observer.
"It is important for us... because the quality of this win validates our potential to be champions... we want to be champions at the stadium and we really want to be champions of the world and this is just one step in the journey we're are taking," she added.
In the final game on Saturday evening, Jhaneile Fowler shot 40 goals from 44 attempts, while Anna Kay Griffiths landed 20 from 25 to lead the Jamaicans to a 60-40 victory over hosts Trinidad and Tobago on Saturday evening at the Jean Pierre Complex.
Entering the final day of competition with a seven-game winning streak, the Sunshine Girls outplayed T&T in every quarter to come away with a 60-40 win at the Jean Pierre Complex after leading 12-8, 26-18, and 41-29.
Sunshine Girls captain, Nadine Bryan, was pleased with the team's unified showing: "We really worked together as a team. It was very encouraging that's why we were successful."
The series helps the team in their preparation for an away series against England's roses in September.
"That was our aim. The coach (Oberon Pitterson-Nattie) really pushed us. Every game we played doesn't matter who we were playing. She was really pushing us to see how hard we can go because we know we have England coming up and it's not going to be easy so we couldn't take anybody lightly. We had to go real hard for every game."
Pitterson-Nattie was more reserved though pleased with the showing which showed improvements over the last home series against South Africa.
"I thought we did better in the marking. It was executed better. We still have to work on our court game. We need to be consistent especially when we go up against England next month," she stated.
"Still we're wary of the work ahead but it's a boost for them to come back refresh and really know what the work is ahead for us," she added.
The Jamaicans finished the tournament on 16 points, with Barbados claiming second with 14 points from a 7-1 record, and T&T third with 12 from a 6-2 record. Barbados also closed out their campaign on a victorious note when they easily brushed aside St Lucia 54-28.

Yesterday, Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times reported that a deal had been reached to host the November 13 fight between Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Today, more on the situation has come out, and everything sounds like it's set in stone.
Lem Satterfield of FanHouse reports today that Margarito has been "assured" a license in Texas. He'll be going before the California State Athletic Commission on August 18 to appeal his suspension, which was handed down in February 2009 after a hand-wrapping controversy prior to his January 2009 fight with Shane Mosley, which Margarito lost.
"A deal has been made, it's going to go to Dallas," said the source, "and [Margarito] has been assured a license in Dallas."
If Margarito's suspension is lifted by California, which seems likely now, there'll be absolutely no problem licensing him in Texas. I'd guess this is probably less that they have some backdoor deal with the Texas officials than it is a source who already knows that California plans to give Margarito his license back. And despite any protests about that, the fact is that they may not have enough solid evidence to keep the ban on Margarito active.
Everyone seems pretty excited about hosting the fight in Texas, and it makes sense. Pacquiao drew in a little over 50,000 fans for a fight in March against Joshua Clottey, who Arum says has "no following in north Texas," which is his nice way of saying Clottey has no following anywhere in America. Margarito, on the other hand, is not just a Mexican fighter, but even with his troubles is still one of the top active Mexican names in boxing. Margarito's involvement alone could up the attendance another 10-20,000 if tickets are affordable, and they kind of have to be in a venue that big. There is a very realistic chance that Pacquiao-Margarito could put 70,000 fans in the seats at Cowboys Stadium.
I also wanted to include a poll here, because I'm curious as to the results. So vote!

Dear Editor:
I am pleased to read that the property behind Chris & Pitts will be developed into a 46-unit condominium. Has any thought been given to the surrounding infrastructure?
The streets in this area are already congested being so close to the on- and off-ramps of the 5 Freeway, apartment buildings, an elementary school and two-lane streets.
It seems to me that 46 condos with probably at least two cars each will make for gridlock at an already busy intersection.

Clr Chris Vobe (Lab - Newchurch) said: "Paying the Living Wage is a responsible step and a stance which should be adopted by every other parish council in the borough.

(WMC-TV) - Kevin Durant led the way with 35 points and 15 rebounds in a back-and-forth contest that resulted in a 93-91 win, giving the Oklahoma City Thunder a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven Western Conference semifinals.
Trailing by three with three seconds left, the Grizzlies had a chance to tie the game on a three from Quincy Pondexter. The shot missed the mark, but Pondexter was fouled on the play, and went to the free-throw line to shoot three.
After missing the first, and making the second, Pondexter intentionally missed the third, but the Grizzlies were unable to come up with the rebound.
The first few minutes of the game were highlighted by sloppy offense on both sides of the ball, as both teams combined to shoot 0/8 from the field. Zach Randolph got things going for the Grizzlies, starting 2/2 working down low, putting Memphis on top 7-0.
The Thunder then responded with six straight points of their own to cut the lead to one, while forcing the Grizzlies to shoot just 1/8 from beyond the arc early. Kevin Durant led the way for OKC, scoring 10 of his 35 points in the first quarter, but the Grizzlies were able to escape the first frame with a 16-14 lead.
In the second quarter, the offenses settled in. Kevin Martin came off the bench for the Thunder to give Durant some rest, and he quickly found the score sheet with an and-one opportunity.
The Grizzlies had a scare mid-way through the second quarter, as Tayshaun Prince went to the net, but was fouled hard by Nick Collison. Prince was taken out of the game with five minutes left in the second quarter, and the Grizzlies looked to Austin Daye to guard Durant in Prince's absence.
Durant only took one shot in the second quarter, but Martin was left open to score 15 of his 25 points in the 2nd quarter. Randolph paced the Grizzlies in the first half, as he scored 10 of his 18 points in the first two frames, but the Thunder went into half with a 47-46 lead.
After receiving treatment for a sore lower back during the intermission, Prince came back out to start the second half. Mike Conley, and Marc Gasol came alive to begin the 3rd quarter, but Durant was quick to respond, attacking a sore Prince.
The two teams went on to trade a few 3's, as Quincy Pondexter nailed a pair, while Martin drained one of his own. Prince capped off a 13-5 run with a 3 to give the Grizzlies an 11 point lead late in the 3rd. After a string of Thunder free throws and a Martin miss from the charity stripe, Pondexter grabbed a rebound with three seconds left in the quarter and heaved up a half court shot that found nothing but net to beat the buzzer.
The Grizzlies took a nine point advantage into the final quarter, leading 73-64.
The Thunder came out flying to start the 4th quarter, opening it up with a 9-2 run behind six early points from Martin, cutting the Memphis lead to two.
After calling a timeout, the Grizzlies were able to slow things down and get back into a rhythm, extending their lead back to seven with just more than six minutes left to play.
However, the Thunder came storming right back, scoring seven straight points to tie the game at 84, behind four points from Durant and a clutch three from five-time NBA champion, Derek Fisher.
With a little more than a minute left to play, and the Grizzlies holding a one point lead, Gasol backed down on Kendrick Perkins on the baseline, and got a jumper to fall to extend the lead to three. Durant followed that up with a bucket of his own, cutting the Thunder deficit back to one, at 90-89 with 37 seconds left.
After a Grizzlies turnover, Durant took the ball down the court and pulled up for 19-footer and nailed it to give the Thunder a one-point lead with 11 seconds left.
Gasol was the leading scorer for Memphis, as the big man from Spain contributed 20 points and 10 rebounds. Randolph also had a double-double, as he grabbed 10 boards to go along with his 18 points.

One of the lingering questions after the conviction of Hemy Neuman for the murder of Russell Sneiderman was whether wife Andrea Sneiderman would be charged in the killing.
On Monday, a Grand Jury subpoenaed all of Andrea Sneiderman's testimony from Channel 2 Action News, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The subpoena comes after DeKalb District Attorney Robert James .
Neuman was sentenced to life without parole.
It is something we have under review right now," James said March 15. "Stay tuned."
Andrea Sneiderman's testimony during the trial raised eyebrows from legal professionals and people following the trial.
Andrea Sneiderman denied having an affair with Neuman, despite testimony from multiple sources that the two had shared a hotel room together in Colorado and kissed and danced at a bar in Greenville, S.C.
She also testified during the trial that she received notice of her husband's death by an emergency room doctor at Atlanta Medical Center.
Later in the trial, her friend and also her father-in-law Don Sneiderman said that Andrea Sneiderman called them and told them Russell Sneiderman had been shot before she arrived at the hospital.
was that Andrea Sneiderman seduced and manipulated Hemy Neuman into killing Russell Sneiderman.
Andrea Sneiderman after it was established she talked to a witness.

I'm known for being something less than upbeat, more like one of the site curmudgeons. However, I've got to say that I've been delighted here lately for several reasons:
- Football is back. The inane lockout/sham lawsuit are behind us. The offseason is in abbreviated full swing and the pace has been downright dizzying.
- I love love love love love love the rookie wage scale. Guys are getting signed left and right. No longer will we have to wonder about whether or not a guy should be drafted because he's a holdout risk. (Think Crabtree.) Dareus is getting something like $20 million guaranteed over four years--he probably would have gotten at least that much as just a signing bonus if he'd been drafted in 2009.
- I'm warming up to the Brad Smith signing. He can be that 46th active player and be the emergency QB without having to enter the game only when both other QBs get hurt. He'll add versatility to an offense that already had quite a bit in Parrish and Spiller. More to the point, CHIX stole him from the Jets, thereby weakening a division foe.
- With the CB situation being what it is (McGee always gimpy, McKelvin hit-or-miss, Corner apparently misnamed...) the Florence signing makes sense.
- I'd have preferred to have kept Poz but he wanted to play in a 4-3. At least the guy didn't throw a Haynesworth type hissy fit last year when the defense went to 3-4 looks at least some of the time. I wish him well in Jacksonville.
- Losing out on Clabo hurts but I suspect that CHIX isn't done looking for a RT. The talk about being happy with the OTs on the roster has been shown to be exactly that. It will be interested to see who gets brought in but it doesn't bode well for Wang. I wouldn't even count on Wrotto being on the final roster.
- I read somewhere this morning (PFT?) that dead cap money can be counted against the 2012 cap. In theory, Kelsay could be dropped if Buffalo finds a better option. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there are lots of better OLBs out there but they'd have to be better to the point that Kelsay's locker room sway would no longer be enough to retain him.
- I like that CHIX isn't overpaying guys from other teams. I'd be curious to see how much the Bills have left to play with--and how much of that will go to extending guys like Johnson and Fitz.

Torah Tidbits
TTriddles "Report"
are Torah Tidbits-style riddles on Parshat HaShavua (sometimes on the calendar). They are found in the hard-copy of TT scattered throughout, usually at the bottom of different columns. In the electronic versions of TT, they are found all together at the end of the ParshaPix-TTriddles section. The best solution set submitted each week (there isn't always a best) wins a double prize a CD from Noam Productions and/or a gift (game, puzzle, book, etc.) from Big Deal
Previous (Bo) TTriddles:
[1] We hope that Torah Tidbits Audio is not guilty of this
Another Police Ten-codes TTriddle. 10-30 is unnecessary or improper use of the radio. Torah Tidbits Audio is a weekly broadcast - for the past 15 years, originally broadcast on Arutz 7 and continuing on Israel National Radio (Arutz 7's internet radio) and OURadio (http://www.ouradio.org). Also, downloadable from http://www.ttidbits.com - we certainly hope that TTA constitutes proper and even necessary use of the internet radio.
[2] What month is a good counterpart for this week's sedra?
The month of AV. ALEF-BET being the counterpart of BET-ALEF, Parshat Bo.
[3] She see, oh so sigh
Personal: There are two guys in my shul who tease me about my Ashkenazic Torah reading at Mincha Gedola on Shabbat. Their favorite phrase to pick on is in the first pasuk of Bo - specifically, the words SHITI OTOTAI, which I read as SHISI OSOSAI - she see, oh so sigh. Even with out the personal anecdote, the words of the TTriddle should have been understood.
[4] These are highest or lowest what? B'reishit, Vaychi, Sh'mot, Bo, Tzav, Tazri'a… you finish the list.
This TTriddle challenge is based on the gimatriya of the names of the sedras. B'reishit has the highest gimatriya in the book of B'reishit, and Vaychi has the smallest. Sh'mot has the largest in its book and Bo is the smallest. B'reishit is the largest in the whole Torah, as Bo is the smallest in the Torah. In Vayikra, Tazri'a is the largest and Tzav is the smallest. Besides figuring this out, you were asked to finish the list: B'haalot'cha and Balak in Bamidbar, and V'zot HaB'racha and Vayeilech in D'varim complete the list of largest and smallest sedra-name-gimatriyas in each of the 5 books.
[5] Were the Egyptians parselmouths?
This was a TTriddle for Harry Potter fans (and anyone else who took the trouble to Google the word. Parselmouths are people who can speak and understand the language of snakes. In the haftara for Bo, we find, in reference to Egypt, KOLAH K'NACHASH YEILEICH… "Her sound is like that of a serpent on the move…" referring to the army of Egypt. More literally, her (Egypt's) voice is like a snake's… Parselmouths.
[6] "New" MazalPic
H(S)M disapproved of the BUCK (male deer) + KIT (young fox) = BUCKET = D'LI (Aquarius) for the mazal of Sh'vat, so we switched to a BUCK ($1 bill) and a sewing KIT for the same idea. In past years we've had the likes of Jack and Jill (Water bearers) and the MOVIL ARTZI, Israel's national water carrier, among other things. Like it or not, we're staying with BUCK+KIT.
[7] Ever wonder why we wish you a Good Shabbat in Aramaic?
For several weeks now, we've had the Aramaic words SHABATA TAVA (or however you are supposed to pronounce it.), which means GOOD SHABBAT. We could have gone with SHABBAT SHALOM, but the current choice is on purpose. Keep wondering… or figure it out.
Rabbi Atik z"l used to ask…
For BO: We know of the association of the number 18 with the mitzva of matza - the 18 minute rule. In what way is the number 21 associated with matza?
The Torah mentions that matza is to be eaten from the 15th of the month (of Nissan) until the 21st. The is noteworthy (or at least TTriddle- worthy) as it is Rabbi Atik z"l worthy, since the chagim in the Torah are usually given with a date for the first day and a number of days for the chag. This might be the only dated end-day for a chag.
Which plague-names from Va'eira are mentioned in Bo?
BARAD is mentioned in the context of the locust, ARBEH, destroying everything that survived the hail. DAM, blood, is mentioned, albeit not in reference to the first plague. But the question only asked about plague-names, which BLOOD is. In Bo, the reference is to the smearing of the blood of the Korban Pesach on the doorposts and lintel of one's home.
This week's TTriddles:
[1] Song on a 45 in the 1000 of Herzliya
[2] If typos are crimes, then we are this not just this week
[3] back 8 and forward 21
Rabbi Atik z"l used to ask…
For B'SHALACH:
What nations besides Israel and Egypt are mentioned in the Song of the Sea?
5 words in the sedra that begin with the same letter. Where do we find a streak of 6 with the same letter.

Kiln Sitters
Kiln Sitters are control boxes on electric pottery kilns that utilize pyrometric cones to dictate a kiln's firing. Prongs within the kiln sitter extend to support a pyrometric cone or rod. Once the kiln reaches a specific temperature, the cone will start to bend causing a lever to drop, switching the kiln off. Kiln sitters have become less common with the advent of digital controllers, however, they are still found on many manual kilns.
Important components of kiln sitters include the tube assembly, cone supports and a sensing rod. Kiln sitters are also available with and without a timer. At The Ceramic Shop we stock most kiln sitter parts, If you are unsure of what you need, please feel free to contact us.
If you are looking for tube assemblies, gauge washers or cone supports, please click here.

You probably already know about secondhand smoke. This is the smoke given off by the end of a burning cigarette, cigar or pipe. It is also the smoke exhaled from the smokers lungs. However, you may not know that this smoke can be just as dangerous to the non-smokers who breathe it.
• Secondhand smoke is a serious health problem linked to heart disease and lung cancer. It kills more Americans each year than murder, drugs and AIDS combined. It's the third leading preventable cause of illness and early death in the U.S.
• Children are at a great risk. Children of smoking parents have 70% more breathing problems, are hospitalized more and miss more school days. They suffer from bronchitis, pneumonia, ear infections and asthma. And infants of smoking parents are four times more likely to die from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
• Secondhand smoke sticks around. It can remain in the home (or car) even if smoking took place days, weekend and months earlier. Smoke vapors and particles are stored everywhere: carpets, walls, furniture, toys, house dust, car interiors, clothes, skin and hair. So not only can you inhale secondhand smoke from the air, you can also inhale it from surfaces and dust in the home. And if you touch a contaminated surface, your skin can absorb these harmful chemicals, too!

Disease - 211-Blueberry Diseases 1
Fact Sheet No. 211, UMaine Extension No. 2015
Prepared by David H. Lambert, Assistant Professor of Plant Pathology, in cooperation with Tom DeGomez, Extension Blueberry Specialist, The University of Maine, Orono, ME 04469. March 1987. Photo credits: A.W. Stretch (1,4), J.F. Dill (2,3), D. Yarborough (5), R.S. Byther (6), D.H. Lambert (7a, 7b, 8).
Pathogen: Monilinia vaccinii-corymbos
Symptoms/disease cycle: Initial symptoms of the disease appear 2-3 weeks before full bloom when affected leaves wilt and dry to a medium brown (Fig. 1). On some leaves, only the center of the leaf may show reddish-brown symptoms. Infections can spread from leaves to twigs. The disease may appear in patches of a foot or more across (Fig. 2). From a distance, this symptom will resemble blossom blight or spanworm damage. Correct identification is essential for proper control. In the second stage of the disease, cream-colored spores (conidia) produced at the base of diseased leaves are blown or carried by insects to blossoms and immature fruit. Infection spreads around the developing berry (Fig.3), which becomes a hard shriveled, pumpkin-shaped, pinkish gray sclerotium. Sclerotia survive the winter in the layer of fallen leaves and, if the soil remains wet long enough in the spring, these germinate to produce goblet-shaped apothecia (Fig. 4). While most germination occurs after a single winter, some sclerotia remain dormant for another year or two. During the periods of wet weather, apothecia release ascospores for approximately one month, starting at budbreak. Ascospores infect swelling buds or new leaves. The two major factors required for disease are the presence of sclerotia from a previous crop and periods of cool, wet weather.

Figure 2
Figure 3
Figure 4
Botrytis Blight
Pathogen: Botrytis cinerea
Symptoms/disease cycle: The fungus Botrytis causes a bloom blight but may also infect leaves and stems (Fig. 5). Fruit infection is usually not a problem until storage for fresh market. Weak or injured tissue is particularly susceptible, and mature or frost-damaged blossoms are most affected. One week after infection, single blossoms or cluster turn light brown and develop a grayish-brown mold which is easy to see with low powered magnification (Fig.6). In contrast to flowers that have not been pollinated, dead blossoms remain attached. Blossom blight may be distinguished from frost damage by the presence of the fungus on blossoms and by the lack of frost damage on other plants in the area. Since clones vary considerably in susceptibility to Botrytis blossom blight, the appearance of the disease may also be patchy. Blossom blight fungus is able to grow in dead or dying material of many plant species, so the disease may develop from spores produced on dead blueberry leaves or stems in the field, or from spores blown from nearby fields, or from spores blown from nearby fields or woods.
When temperatures are in the 60′s a wet or foggy period of at least one day is required for infection to occur. Longer wet periods are required in cooler weather.
Figure 5
Figure 6
Red Leaf
Pathogen: Exobassidum vaccinii
Symptoms: Most leaves of affected plants are red to beet red (Fig. 7a and b). Some may appear normal, others may be partially affected with distinct irregular red blotch (Fig. 7a). Later in the season, a white layer of spores develops on the underside of the leaves (Fig. 7b). Few or no fruit develop, and some twigs may be killed. In the field, diseased stems often occur by themselves in clusters coming from the same rhizome. In some cases, the disease will appear in patches that may be a foot or more across (Fig. 8).
Disease cycle: When leaves are affected by fungus spores, they do not immediately develop symptoms of red-leaf. The fungus invades the stem and rhizome and spreads back into leaves after a period of several months. The disease persists in the stems and rhizomes from year to year.

(Source: destroyed-and-abandoned, via wepreyasw0lves)
Situated on the banks of the Meuse, this former university once produced some of the finest mathematicians in Belgium. Empty since 2005, it now serves as a magnet for urban explorers, thanks to its sheer size and air of otherworldly decay. Brutal modernist corridors of reinforced concrete join unexpectedly with pristine classrooms – some perfectly preserved, others a mess of broken tables and discarded needles. Thanks to the angular architecture, the entire interior gives off a vibe entirely hostile to organic matter; like the building was never intended to house life and has stood empty since it was first constructed. Currently, the city of Liege is planning a major redevelopment of the complex for 2015 – putting a strict time limit in place for any planned exploration.
This abandoned school in Brussels may well be the creepiest on our list. Once a city-spanning veterinary school, the main building was abandoned after the faculty relocated: leaving their specimen collection behind to gather dust. The result is a grotesque warehouse where jars of pickled organs skulk beyond the reach of sunlight and shelves overflowing with lungs, hearts and brains seemingly stare back at unsuspecting visitors with something like reproach. Gruesome, unnerving and frankly just a little bit odd, this Flemish monument to death is like stepping into a brutal work by Damien Hirst – only significantly more likely to leave you feeling deeply disturbed.
A long-standing demolition order on Bennett College (supposed to be carried out in 2012, but still unenforced as of 2013) means the heavily-rotted building may disappear at any time. When this happens, urban exploration will lose one of its finest abandoned buildings. Constructed around a failed hotel-venture in 1907, the school looks like a cross between Hogwarts and a Tim Burton set: turrets, towers and arches support rotted timber classrooms, alongside an explosion of vegetation that has made its home in the upper floors. Wild animals flit in and out with ease and the whole building comes across as a strictly archetypal design for a post-apocalyptic world. Nonetheless it's a strangely beautiful one, the sort of place where you can spend hours exploring or even longer simply sitting there, reflecting on the decades of memories long since swept away.
The archetypal abandoned boarding school, Lillesden School for Girls closed down in 1999 and has become a mecca for explorers, 'radical' artists and film crews ever since. Much, much bigger than it appears from the outside, this broken shell resembles at times a Chinese Puzzle Box – thanks in large part to the number of strange surprises stored beyond the various security doors. From the demonic graffiti in the old bathrooms, to the partially-collapsed gym and the occasional – unexpected – appearance of strange sculptures left by local art collectives, this great, shambling ruin contains enough weirdness to fill a particularly gothic carnival. It's also the site of several cult films and TV shows of the past decade: with both 28 Days Later and Doctor Who filming scenes here.
Taking the creepiness of abandoned locations to a whole new level, West Virginia's Lake Shawnee Amusement Park is not just dilapidated, rusty and run-down - it's also allegedly haunted.
Way back in 1783, a band of Shawnee Indians massacred a family of white settlers at Clover Bottom (now known as Shawnee Lake), brutally killing and scalping two children and burning another at the stake. The land, which was also a Native American burial ground, was bought sometime in the 1920s… and turned into an amusement park. Now there's a brilliant idea!
Not surprisingly, the Lake Shawnee Amusement Park went on to become the sight of some pretty horrific events, tragic accidents that resulted in the drowing of a young boy and the death of a young girl. The park was shut down in 1966 and has since been studied by many paranormal investigators, who all claim that the abandoned park is a hotbed of paranormal activity. The voices of children are heard and swings have been known to move all by themselves, freaky occurences that have led to Lake Shawnee Amusement Park being named one of the most terrifying places in America by the Travel Channel, and one of the ten most haunted places in the world by ABC.
Normally closed off to the public, the still-standing amusement park is opening up for tours beginning on October 25th, which will run through Halloween night. Tours begin at dusk, and all attendees are encouraged to bring their own flashlights. If you're interested in a haunted excursion that's sure to provide chills and thrills, you can call 304-487-1819 or 304-921-1580, for more information!

Grafton man shot by police had been sought since 2011
Larry A. Bohannon, 51, of Grafton received two concurrent 20-year sentences in 1994 for a kidnapping conviction in Sullivan County and bail-jumping conviction in Cheshire County, Department of Corrections spokesman Jeffrey J. Lyons said Monday.
"He still had an active warrant for being a fugitive from justice. We hadn't seen or heard from him since June 2011," Lyons said.
Bohannon and another man, David Ward, were charged with kidnapping Donald Coull of Claremont on Oct. 18 1993, "to recoup stolen property, reportedly a generator." Coull denied taking the generator. Coull told police he was lured into a pickup truck in Claremont, shackled and driven around for three hours before being released in Bellows Falls, Vt.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Janice Rundles said Saturday that Bohannon was involved in an armed robbery in Bellows Falls, Vt., on Friday in which he "was said to have worn a ski mask and carried a handgun."
Bohannon fled to New Hampshire, with officers from Walpole and Alstead pursuing his vehicle.
"At the end of the pursuit, shots were fired, and the suspect was killed at the scene," Rundles said.
She said she couldn't comment on whether Bohannon fired at police or whether authorities recovered a handgun. She said he failed to comply with orders from police.
Bohannon was first paroled in April 1996, then returned in October that year on a technical parole violation. He remained incarcerated until March 1997. Ten years later, in December 2007, he was arrested again on another technical parole violation; he remained in prison until June 2008. When he failed to meet with his parole officer a month later, a warrant for his arrest was issued on the charge of fugitive from justice.
On Friday, Bohannon died from gunshot wounds to the head, chest and abdomen, authorities said.
