Press Release, 16th April 2013
One of the most ambitious dance projects ever undertaken on the island of Ireland has been taking place in many locations around Derry over the last week. Around 500 local people are involved including hundreds of pupils from five local primary schools. It is estimated that many thousands of local people have watched the work being filmed at over 50 locations around the city from Bishop Street to the Guildhall, from Ebrington to Creggan.
Leading dance company Echo Echo, based here in the city for the last 15 years, invited highly acclaimed artist and filmmaker Rosemary Lee to work with them during the year of culture taking place throughout 2013. Rosemary Lee is one of the leading choreographers of recent times, and has made some beautiful and highly acclaimed large-scale works involving professional dancers and local communities.
Lee explained her inspiration for the film:
'When I first visited Londonderry/Derry I walked the city walls to get a sense of the location and was amazed and moved by the topography of the city. It seemed I could look into and out of the city in equal measure, see its history in the layout of streets as well as in the very stone work, witness its domestic family life and its commercial one in the same view, and all the while see a continuous horizon of distant hills and sky. Having been asked to make a new work for and with Echo Echo for 2013 I felt I wanted to honour that first impression and try to include the whole city in some way, creating a gentle and permanent panoramic work that encompassed the living city and its people.'
Filmed from seven different view points from St Columb's Cathedral tower and from the City Walls, Without will capture local people moving and gliding throughout the city's historic landscape in various creative ways. Many hundreds of local cyclists, skateboarders, rollerbladers and other 'gliders' have taken up the invitation to be part of the epic new work that will be shown in a unique seven-screen exhibition at Echo Echo Studios from late August to October 2013.
Artistic Director of Echo Echo, Steve Batts said: 'Rosemary's work shows the exceptional and magical possibilities of creating work with a mixture of professional dancers and non-professionals of all ages and backgrounds. I am very happy to be able to welcome Rosemary to work with Echo Echo on producing Without.'
Echo Echo Company Manager, Ailbe Beirne, said: 'The response to filming around Derry has been really great. We have called upon so many different people around the city to make it possible and the atmosphere in and around the project has been brilliant with so many new people and children taking part. It has been fascinating to see how much of Rosie's original vision we could actually realise, so the project team have been incredibly committed to make it happen at this level.'
Without filming continues around Derry until Friday 19th April, and the eagerly awaited film will be presented as part of a special exhibition at Echo Echo Dance & Movement Studios, Waterloo House, City Walls, Magazine Street from late August. The project is supported by Culture Company 2013, Arts Council of Northern Ireland and Arts Council England.

2006 Nissan Titan SE 4dr King Cab 4WD SB (5.6L 8cyl 5A)
Only had this Titan 2 weeks but it is a blast to drive. Too early to tell about reliability problems, but runs great so far.. gas is not too bad considering it is a full size pickup. I love the smoke color and get a lot of looks from others. Some even come up to me in traffic and ask how I like it! So far so good. I would recommend this truck to anyone!

2006 Nissan Titan LE 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (5.6L 8cyl 5A)
Absolutely LOVE my new truck. Out of 100, I would say I am 99.9% happy. I wish Nissan could do a V-8 with better fuel economy! I love the spacious interior, big engine, overall exterior design, and the bed tracking system. I was deciding between a Chevy 1500 and I couldn't be happier w/ my decision.

2006 Nissan Titan XE FFV 4dr Crew Cab SB (5.6L 8cyl 5A)
I was going to trade-in my 05 Mustang GT and buy a F150, but the dealership irritated me so I drove around the corner to Nissan. I didn't want to buy a foriegn truck, but I discovered that it is made here along with the V-8 engine, and the Ford is made in Canada. It can out-tow, accelerate, and brake all light duty trucks. The interior rivals that of my wife's Infiniti. The performance is outstanding, fit and finish is top notch. It has more passenger room than my old 2002 Navigator. Drive one and you too will buy one. I love this truck!!

2006 Nissan Titan XE 4dr Crew Cab SB (5.6L 8cyl 5A)
I have always been a Dodge truck fan, until the Titan came into the picture. I test drove every large truck on the market, and none of them compare to the standard available power and options in the Titan. The overall handling, comfort, and style of the Titan is unmatched. The one and only complaint that I have is true with every other full-size truck on the market, the fuel economy is very poor. But what do you expect from a true V8 motor?

2006 Nissan Titan SE FFV 4dr King Cab SB (5.6L 8cyl 5A)
I absolutely love this truck. I cannot believe how amazing the MPG ~18 city/hwy mix. Before, I had an R/T Durango that only got 10.5mpg. This truck is really fast, I barely have to use the gas pedal. The backup sensors are a really nice feature. It has really nice seats, very supportive and comfortable. They are even more comfortable than my Mercedes SUV. The towing mirrors make it easier to see vehicles in blind spots. Really Easy and fun to drive for a big vehicle. I have already put 800 miles on the odometer in less than a week.

In response to:
That was a pretty good jump to a "homogeneous clump" when I believe Darby was simply Stating what one of the core problems of the feminist movement is. There are rules and there are exceptions. Too many times the exceptions are used as cover while working on obscuring the rule. Sure there are Christians in the feminist movement, but they are the exception. Seeing this basic tenet of the feminist movement will become problematic for them eventually. Feminism wants to establish their own religion with their own 'gods' that they choose. As the Christians within the movement realize that they do not fit into the established feminist role, they will be forced to reevaluate. To be a Christian doesn't make you right all the time. It just means you place your faith and trust in Jesus. But so they don't get led astray they must verify through God's written word. When there is a conflict, be sure to get back on the narrow path! (Matt 7)
In response to:
The feminist's real anger is at God. Man didn't create women to be women, that was God! God also created man and the family unit. Feminists are angry at God because God didn't create them as men. Being perpetually angry at God is not healthy. God knows what he is doing. He knows who you are and why you were created with the gifts you have. Learn to relax, trust God and be the best that you were created by God to be.
In response to:
I feel your grief. My daughter was deployed several times and on her first deployment I also volunteered to go in summer of 2003. But if your son is in the military you go where and when told. We know that when we go into the service. We can't just change our minds because of the political climate. That is the job. A blank check for up to and including our very lives, regardless of who is in office. That is what makes our military work. A salute and thank you to all our military and their families, past present and future! Support our troops. To my fellow Vietnam vets, Welcome Home!
In response to:
Just a point. If the goal of the Iraq War was to build a democratic nation in the middle east, we failed miserably. If the goal was to make friends with the Iraqi people, we failed miserably. If the goal was to gain Iraqi oil as the 'no blood for oil' idiots express, we failed. BUT, if the goal was to attract the radical militant jihadists to Iraq, where we controlled the ground, the air and the night, and exterminate them there so they could never make it to our home soil, it was a success. The borders were not secured, allowing terrorists into Iraq. The media constantly whined about American deaths, giving the terrorists the feeling that it was a fight they could win. If seen through the lens of 9/11, this was the true priority. Force the terrorists to wage war in the area we dictate. Sacrifice their fighters and the funding to get them there and die like rats. If we could have finished the job of rebuilding their government instead of abandoning them it would have proved good for the Iraqi people and middle east relations. But no, surrender after the victory was once again the desire of Democrats.
In response to:
DOJ, ATF Lost Court Battle Against Whistleblower Jay Dobyns, So They're Making His Life Hell By Appealing
The story wasn't about the right to appeal. only that the reasons for doing so in this case are suspect. Shining a defining light on the situation will clarify the situation. The answer isn't we should "stop allowing even evil entities due process" but that their motives should be made transparent.
That is by no means a 'surprise' because that is the primary tactic of the left. Any close election in reality was not close, as the dead, multiple voters and Democrat trips through the ghetto to swap food, cigarettes and crack for votes has skewed the process. Motor Voter? Instant voter!
This once again highlights the stealth 'October Surprise' the Democrats have ben counting on. The spying scandals weren't just on civilians. The Republicans were the actual targets and the information was passed from the government spy agencies to the liberal smear operators. It is more than just wimpy Republican leadership at work here, it is compromised Republican upper management working toward a minor victory where deadlock remains the status quo, so the liberal political operatives don't go full disclosure to ruin their careers, but allow them to remain in office, but compromised waiting for the next shoe to drop. We need to win first, then purge those that are compromised and prosecute those behind this scandal. But it remains on mute, at least until after the election.
The perpetually aggrieved can not even comprehend the feeling of being grateful. Bitter souls are easily exploited. Useful idiots.
Want to see where the mess we call education lost it's way? Read Ayers's "Prairie Fire", it is the blueprint for how we got to this point. The Charles Manson of public education.
I think there is a fundamental flaw in the knowledge of black slave trade. Americans seem to believe that the white man went to Africa and rounded up tribal blacks and forced them onto boats and turned them into slaves, capturing them like wild animals. The truth is that they were slaves BEFORE they were sold to the American white slave traders and those enslaving them were dark skin pigmentation! Many of the slaves, if not most, that were sold and shipped to America would have been killed had they not been sold in the slave trade market. As horrible as slavery was, it may have been the best thing to happen to them. There descendants that survive today have a far better life than if they had been born in Africa, even if they had been free and not involved in the slave trade. Something to think about. Many people suffered terribly to get to America, and even suffered and died after getting here, such as the Chinese and the Irish. To hold onto the hate and anger for something that happened to your descendants and not seen first hand for generations is a type of self enforced slavery. These people can never be grateful, and lose the benefits that gratefulness provides for not only themselves but their families as well.

The ball found Anthony Morrow on a tipped out rebound, and he stepped into a wide open 3, nailing the kind of dagger we've seen Kevin Durant hit so many times to lock down Thunder wins.
There was 3:41 left, and Morrow's 3 put the Thunder up 95-75 over the Jazz, essentially sealing a desperately needed win to snap a six-game losing streak. Scott Brooks felt it, letting out a wry grin, looking up towards Loud City, as he exhaled for probably the first time in three weeks.
"It was a good game for us," Brooks said. "It was good to get a win. It was good to get off of three wins. The last time we were on three wins was many years ago."
(Yeah, that got way worse. As in 3-29 worse.) Keep Reading…

Offensive Rating: Thunder – 98.4 (29th), Jazz – 106.5 (17th)
Defensive Rating: Thunder – 104.3 (10th), Jazz – 111.5 (28th)
These two teams meet again for the second time in eight days. Last Tuesday night the Jazz put the clamps on the Thunder's offense in the third quarter and cruised to an easy win in front of its home crowd. Tonight the Thunder, and the Peake, is as desperate as ever for a win, as they look to snap a six-game losing streak that started back on November 14. Keep Reading…
Will Russ play on Friday? "Thunder coach Scott Brooks on Monday didn't rule out the possibility of Russell Westbrook returning to the lineup as early as Friday against New York. "I don't know," Brooks said when asked if a target date of Friday is too early. "I just focus on his work that he put in today and just continue to build off that. He will get evaluated later on this week and then we can make some of those decisions later on." Westbrook has missed the past 13 games while recovering from a broken right hand. He was originally scheduled to be reevaluated Saturday but has already returned to practice. Westbrook and Kevin Durant, who is recovering from a broken right foot, participated in most of Monday's practice, including most of the contact drills, Brooks said."
And who knows about PJ3: It's now been three weeks since Perry Jones was knocked out of a game at Toronto with a knee injury. And three weeks later, the third-year forward doesn't appear anywhere near ready to return to the lineup. Jones was diagnosed with a right knee contusion when he bumped knees with Raptors forward Patrick Patterson on a drive to the basket. No timetable was given for Jones' recovery. "I have no injury update on Perry," Brooks said. "He hasn't participated in any parts of practice. He's just with our medical staff. Just a normal rehab process for his knee. That's the only thing I know of right now." Keep Reading…
They practiced: "The Thunder's star duo practiced with the team on Monday for the first time since both went down to injury. "They did participate and looked good," coach Scott Brooks said. Durant, the reigning league MVP, is recovering from a stress fracture in his foot, while Westbrook is working his way back from a broken hand. "This week, I don't know what day, they'll get evaluated and we'll go from there," Brooks said. "They'll continue to go through this process and when they're ready — 100 percent ready — they'll play."
Scott Brook remains confident in Andre Roberson: After his latest miss, the worry again shifts to his confidence. With eight seconds left in the Thunder's loss to the Warriors on Sunday, Roberson airballed a wide-open look with a chance to tie the game. And moments later, after the final horn, he dejectedly walked to the locker room, clearly bothered by the preceding sequence. "I've been around him for a year and a half," coach Scott Brooks said. "I know the mental toughness he has. One shot is not going to make him crawl into the hole and make him not compete the next night." And he's not going to find himself out of the rotation, either, despite the continued shooting struggles." Keep Reading…
Thunder players are sad: "Fourteen games into a marathon NBA season — less than 18 percent of the way through a six-month journey — it felt far more like a team that had just been eliminated in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals than one that had just suffered a random mid-November 94-92 loss to the Nets. Jeremy Lamb moved first. He headed for the door but was swarmed by reporters before he could reach it. "Stay together," a dejected Lamb repeated in a murmur, head aimed at the floor, searching for answers that continue to elude his team. For 10 minutes, Reggie Jackson sat motionless at his locker, ice packs on his knees and a glazed look in his eyes. He eventually made his way to the shower, then emerged minutes later, blurting out "so close" multiple times to no one in particular."
KD and Russ are practicing (yay). But so is Bro Mitch McGary: Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook — the most important and identifiable quantities on the Thunder roster — are slowly nearing a return. But so is an unknown one with a yet to be determined role. Rookie forward Mitch McGary is back practicing with the Thunder after missing the last six weeks with a foot fracture. McGary was impressive early in camp, putting together a pair of eye-opening performances in the Blue and White scrimmage and the preseason opener in Denver. But he suffered the injury against the Nuggets and missed a large chunk of his first NBA training camp. Keep Reading…
Another game, another night when the shorthanded Thunder have only enough to play competitively, and not enough to win.
Oklahoma City did a commendable job slowing down Golden State on Sunday night in Chesapeake Energy Arena, but couldn't get enough buckets or stops in the fourth quarter for the umpteenth time this season and fell 91-86 to the Warriors.
With the loss, the Thunder fell to 3-12 on the season, keeping them alone in last place at the bottom of the Western Conference. OKC has now lost six straight games.
In what has become a repetitive and painful thing to watch, the Thunder struggled to score at important junctures and found itself looking to the likes of Andre Roberson for critical jump shots in the waning moments of the game. With all that scoring and lineup flexibility on the end of the bench in street clothes, OKC just has very little scoring to turn to in a pinch when the defense takes away primary and secondary options.
The Thunder was able to at least give itself a chance to win by managing to keep Golden State in the halfcourt. Oklahoma City didn't crash the boards on offense and concentrated on getting back to prevent the break, and limited the Warriors to only six fast-break points and slowed the game down. Keep Reading…

Defensive Rating: Thunder – 105.1 (12th), Warriors – 97.9 (2nd)
In the wake of another loss Thunder fans got welcome news that Durant and Westbrook went through the non-contact portions of practice on Saturday as they both move closer and closer to returning from their respective injuries. And this news may have to serve as comfort once again as the Thunder face one of the most complete teams in basketball — the Golden State Warriors.
The Warriors come in at 9-2 and are holding down 2nd place in this brutal Western Conference. In his first year as head coach Steve Kerr as already made Warriors' front office look really good for their decision to part ways with MJax. Kerr has unleashed Steph Curry and this offense like a Katniss Everdeen exploding arrow. The Thunder — how can I say this nicely — has its hands full tonight. Keep Reading…
Happy Saturday. Thank you for your support of Daily Thunder. Hang in there.

The segment is a must-watch. Colbert figuratively drops both his pants and his mask as a Truth Speaker to Power to whip up his trained seal audience for the #ReadyForHillary cult: -- The Colbert Report Get More: Colbert Report Full Episodes,The Colbert Report on Facebook,Video Archive -- Over time, what happens to guys like Colbert, especially when their success explodes as Colbert's just did when CBS tapped him on the shoulder to replace David Letterman, is that they lose their self-awareness. MSNBC's Joe Scarborough is dealing with the same thing. Both sell-outs have completely lost their capacity for self-awareness thanks to a velvet trap where left-wingers construct a Cult of Personality around only you -- one where The Beautiful People laugh too hard at your jokes and lavish praise, unimagined riches, and reassuring whispers of "It's not selling out to get what you deserve." Colbert and Scarborough have convinced themselves that the boot they're licking is a lollipop. John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC

Residents, who had been evacuated from the neighborhood, were expected to be allowed to return by Thursday night.
Authorities plan to assess the property and then bring in hazardous material crews to remove two to six inches of topsoil from the half-acre lot to ensure no dangerous residue was left behind.
Police and prosecutors can now turn their full attention to Jakubec.
The out-of-work software consultant, 54, has pleaded not guilty to charges of making destructive devices and robbing three banks.
Jakubec rented the house for more than a year. Authorities say he filled it with enormous quantities of explosive chemicals, including the kinds used by suicide bombers and insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The materials included Pentaerythritol tetranitrate, or PETN, the explosive used in the 2001 airliner shoe-bombing attempt as well as airplane cargo bombs discovered last month.
Bomb experts determined the house was too dangerous to enter, so they drew up plans to burn it down.
The home was so cluttered with unstable chemicals that even bomb-disposing robots couldn't be used to enter it, for fear of setting off an explosion. Nearly every room had piles of explosive material and items related to making homemade bombs, prosecutors said.
A coffee table was found cluttered with documents and strewn with detonators, they said.
In the backyard, bomb technicians found six mason jars with highly unstable Hexamethylene triperoxide diamine, or HMDT, which can explode if stepped on. The jars were discovered after a gardener accidentally set off an explosion by stepping on an HMDT byproduct, they said.
As Abernethy watched the fire, she wondered how all of it could have happened in her neighborhood.
"Some people have crazy minds," she said. "You just never know who you are living next to."

Dinner with fiancee on a Sunday in DC?
Hi I'm trying to look for a nice restaurant in the DC area for my fiancee's birthday in 2 weeks, who is relatively new to DC. I want to take her out for dinner on Sunday, but many restaurants aren't open on Sunday. I have a reservation for Volt at 915pm (not Table 21, and a little too late and far but better than nothing). Any other suggestions/ideas? My requirements: open Sunday evening, dinner for 2 under $200 (and we don't drink wine), within 25-30 mile radius from metro DC.
re: dinwiddie
Palena is only open for brunch (until 2:30 p.m.) on Sundays.
Proof would also be a nice spot, even if without wine.
re: ktmoomau
I agree - Corduroy is amazing and should fit your needs perfectly. The outside is unassuming, but it's very centrally located near Gallery Place and the Convention Center. The food and drinks are wonderful and the service is spectacular - she'll definitely feel special here. This is a real gem.
Equinox is also wonderful and well known.
I think a Volt dinner is a great birthday treat -- unless you really want to be finishing dinner earlier, I'd recommend keeping that reservation.
Volt is good but not as good as it thinks it is. Goodstone is very nice. A really nice place that has been around for quite a while but has done some amazing renovations and the chef is fantastic is Mrs. K's Toll House in Silver Spring, MD.
Columbia is the home of Aida Bistro, one of my favorites and a bit further north your fiancee would love Tersiguel's French Country restaurant.
8293 Main Street, Ellicott City, MD 21043
Corduroy is a really good choice. Although personally I haven't been there in a few years. That said, it appears the menu hasn't changed much. Their scallops are out of this world, regardless of preparation.
A couple of other places to consider are Blue Duck Tavern,Cashion's Eat Place, Brasserie Beck, or J&G Steakhouse.
re: Elyssa

Dan Gahafer Program Director of Forge.milDefense Information Systems Agency
The work: Championing the wider adoption of Forge.mil and improving delivery of new capabilities.
The impact: The number of people using the project development tool has nearly doubled to 13,000, and the time it takes to release new services has gone from 30 days to just two.
The nuts and bolts: Two months after Gahafer was appointed director, he fielded a collaboration environment that uses social networking, which led to a greatly expanded user base for Forge.mil. In addition, a continuous delivery platform speeds the release of new services and has fundamentally changed the way the Defense Department performs information assurance and accreditation.

I was born in 1971 in New York City and grew up in Leonia, New Jersey. I attended every public school Leonia had to offer...graduated Leonia High School in 1989 with a C-Plus average...forging ahead to higher education, attended George Washington University in DC for one year...transferred to NYU, which believed my B-Minus GPA was an indication that I'd do their school proud. I went to NYU for three years and graduated in 1993, an English major with a writing specialization. My GPA skyrocketed to a low B. I took Creative Writing classes which regressed my love for writing and reading and people. The 'teachers' suffocated my natural voice and I'm still recuperating.
After college, I was a paralegal (with zero training, enthusiasm, and aptitude) for a publication concerned with the nuances of the tax code. I worked there for about two years and I used my computer, my office, and the company's supplies, to write Name the Baby on the weekends. I quit to go to Los Angeles to write the second book. [Incidentally, I love how all novelists include their amazing former jobs (cosmonaut; dungeonmaster) to try to convince you they're real people who have blue collar sensibilities and they haven't had their asses squirreled away in their room for the last few years obsessing over semi colons and font types. Don't buy it--they wouldn't be interesting to talk to about anything besides literature or alcohol, not that you'd want to.]
Name the Baby took seven weeks to write. I started it during November, 1995, and finished it on New Year's Eve. It was generally written on the weekends, in fifteen-hour stretches at the office.
Since Baby, I've traveled around writing more novels. I wrote the second book in Los Angeles; the third book in New York City (during my first and only semester of law school); the fourth book in Tempe AZ; I am working on the fifth book which I wrote half of in Milan, Italy. I'm hoping the fourth book will be the next one to come out--it's a longer one called Let the Blind Horse Gallop, and it's about a twenty-seven year old ex-songwriter. I wrote it over a hundred days in the desert, the valley of the sun, last summer, and I like it a lot.

My boyfriend and I visited this little shop two summers ago and went back just recently to remind ourselves why we loved it so much. It's got a small interior and not too much seating but it's better that way. I LOVED the lobster crab bisque (whoever recommended this to me was so right!) and my boyfriend enjoyed his buffalo...
We went there after reading the reviews! They were right the lobster crab bisque soup is amazing! We also got a prime rib grinder and their chicken salad both were amazing! We love this place. Highly recommended!!
I stopped in here just yesterday and had the Lobster/Crab Bisque. It is the best I ever had, and that includes my favorite places in Maine. I'll go back again soon!
I hesitate to say my review is completely unbiased because I walked in having read the wonderful reviews here and was starving to boot. The owner was kind, patient, and offered helpful advice as needed. We ordered the following:
Tomato/mozzarella salad: I generally do not enjoy salad but figured I should try something healthy. I loved the combination and it...
We were fortunate to stumble across this little gem. We ordered the crab/lobster bisque, a sandwich and a cool drink. The chef/owner was very friendly and helpful as well. He
described his menu to us and offered some recommendations. The ambience was very simple but the food was deliciously fresh and hearty. This place is a must try and trust...
After eating here for the first time, we couldn't believe that we have never eaten here. We have lived in this town for over 35 years. We have passed by hundreds of times. And as all the other reviews have stated, the Lobster/Crab Bisque in my wife's words are "This is the best I have ever had!" She also had...
Stopped in when we saw they had gluten-free sandwiches. The gluten-free rolls that are used are the best I have ever tasted. Very tasty sandwiches.
Best lobster bisque around! I'm so glad I called and asked what the hours were or we would have missed out on it. We had some in Mystic for lunch and I really enjoyed it even though it only had one small piece of lobster in it; The Eclectic Chef's was loaded with big pieces of lobster! It was so...
My husband and I found this restaurant based on the recommendations from this website and everyone was right. The lobster and crab bisque is outstanding. The chef/owner of this modest sandwich and soup spot is justifiably proud of this dish. We have never seen a bisque like this. It is thick, rich and chock full of lobster and crab pieces,...

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Offthanks. felt like returning to some king crimson material that hadn't been looked at in a while.
good rewiew, pos.
I wonder, though; what's gonna happen to Fripp's label, Discipline Records?
some suggestions:
This material that the projekct deliver
turn "deliver" into "delivers"
there is still a remains of quality virtuosity
there is still some stock of quality virtuosity
Even if it was just a projekct, it could still be a fitful finale for the Court of the Crimson King
Even if it wasn't one of Fripp's projekcts, it could legitimately be a fitting finale for the Court of the Crimson King and that tells a great deal about the quality of this record.
You could end the closing paragraph after this sentence and omit the rest, because they are repeating what you have just written.
Lastly, question to consider

Pickup truck sought in Sandown hit-and-run
The teen, whose name police are not releasing at this time, suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene.
Sgt. Aurie Roy said the incident happened about 7:50 p.m. as the children were walking near 409 Main St., the northern side of Route 121A.
Roy said the younger boy told police he remembered hearing a loud vehicle coming just before the 13-year-old boy was hit by the mirror of a pickup truck.
Police are looking for a white or silver pickup truck, possibly with a loud exhaust, with a damaged side mirror which fled the scene. Investigators recovered parts from the truck mirror at the scene.
Anyone with information about the truck or the incident is asked to call police at 887-3887 or Rockingham County Dispatch at 679-2225.

Black Friday 2014 by Social Bakers is a series of maps visualizing the social sharing taking place around Black Friday on Twitter and Instagram.
The visualization includes maps of New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin and Miami showing the location of Twitter and Instagram posts which include Black Friday related hashtags. Social Bakers began gathering data for the maps on the 22nd November and will continue until the 30th November.
The map sidebar includes running totals of the number of times particular brands have been mentioned. You can also view recent photos posted to Instagram using the same Black Friday related hashtags by selecting the 'Photos' tab in the sidebar.

The Race Gap in U.S. Police Departments
In Ferguson, Mo, 67% of the population is black. However only 11% of the Ferguson police department is black. According to a 2007 survey the situation is little better in most police departments around the country, where on average minorities only make up around 25% of police forces. In The Race Gap in America's Police Departments the New York Times has mapped the racial composition of local police departments in 16 metropolitan areas, including St, Louis.
In each of the 16 maps the local police departments are represented on the map by circular map markers. The size of each circle on the map is scaled to represent the size of each police department. The color of each circular marker is shaded to reflect the racial composition of each department. The lighter colors indicate that the racial composition of the department is closer to the racial mix of the area it serves. The darker shaded markers indicate that the composition of the police department is markedly different to the general population.
You can also mouse-over each police department on the map to view the racial composition of local residents and of the local police department.

How to Make a Rent Map
Last year the Financial Times created a nice interactive map visualizing the cost of renting in London. The London Renting Crisis map allows Londoners to view a heat map of where they can afford to rent in the capital based on their annual salary.
The map includes a slide control which allows you to adjust the annual salary level. As you adjust the salary the map automatically updates to show where you can and can't afford to rent a room in a London flat.
The Berliner Morgenpost has now released the source code of a similar map for Berlin. Titel der Anwendung recreates the rent map of London but for Berlin, using the Leaflet mapping platform.
The Berlin map uses random data as it is just a demo of an interactive heat map using Leaflet and TopoJSON. The source code for the map is available on GitHub on an MIT license. You can therefore use the Berliner Morgenpost's map library to create your own adjustable heat map for anywhere in the world, using your own TopoJSON for the shaded polygon areas.

The Solar Eclipse Map
The Solar Eclipse Finder is an Esri map that displays the path of past and future solar eclipses for any location on Earth.
The tool couldn't be simpler to use. Just click on the map and past solar eclipses at the selected location are shown on the map in green and future eclipse are shown in blue. If you mouse-over the path of a solar eclipse you can view details in the map side-bar.
The details on each eclipse include the date, time and the duration of the solar eclipse. The Solar Eclipse Finder includes the paths of 905 solar eclipses from 1601 to 2200.

The Rand McNally Trip Planner
Rand McNally Trip Maker is a new interactive road trip planning tool. Using the map you can get turn-by-turn driving directions for your trip with the option to find interesting places to visit along the route.
To create a road trip with Trip Maker you just need to enter a starting location and your destination. You can add extra stops to your trip simply by selecting the 'Add Stop' button. Your new stop will then be added to your to a trip automatically, in the location that best minimizes your total driving distance.
You can adjust the route of your trip simply by dragging the route line around on the map. If you want to add a waypoint to a route you can therefore just drag and drop the line on your desired location and the the route will automatically update.
If you want to make some pit-stops along your route you can use the 'Search on My Way' option. This allows you to search for rest-stops and points of interest along your route. You can even define how far you are prepared to deviate from your route for interesting places to visit by entering the number of miles.
When you are happy with your planned road trip you can email and export your trips to any Rand McNally GPS device.

The Google Maps Virtual Post Office
The French national mail service, La Poste, is using Google Maps and Street View in its latest online marketing campaign. La Poste - Ca Envoie is a fun little postal delivery simulator which allows you to virtually post a number of silly objects to any address.
Using Ca Envoie you can virtually drop a Sumo wrestler, a mermaid, a unicorn, a lumberjack, or some goose pâté onto any address in the world which has Street View imagery. Just enter an address and pick one of the five objects and you can watch a short animation of your object falling onto your address using Google Maps satellite imagery.
Your chosen object will then be shown landing at your selected address using the Street View imagery from that location. If you are vegetarian you might want to skip the pâté animation. This little movie features a goose crashing into your street before being transformed into the goose pâté.
If you sign into Ca Envoie with your Facebook account you can post your created Google Maps postal animation to your Facebook wall.

Super Mario World
If you've ever wondered how Mario and Luigi manage to navigate so effortlessly around the Mushroom Kingdom and Dinosaur Land then you need to check out this Super Mario map from Duncan Graham. This interactive map reimagines the world as an 8-bit map in the style of Nintendo's classic game, complete with golden coins and mushrooms.
Accompanying the map is a great 'how-to' guide on how the map was created with Mapbox Studio. It's worth reading the article if you want to learn about importing land or water source files into Mapbox Studio, how to add custom elements to your map and how to order layers.
If vintage computer games don't float your boat then you might prefer this Dot Map by Saman Bemel Benrud.
You've probably seen dot maps before which visualize data on a map using differently sized or differently colored dots. This map takes that concept to the next stage by representing the underlying map features data as dots.
The result might not be much use as a map. But as a beautifully abstract interactive dot painting it works just fine.

The Rapid Beating Heart of LA
LA Metro Movement is an animated map of LA's Metro Rapid buses. The map shows the routes of LA's Rapid bus lines with the recorded locations of the city's buses being animated as they transport passengers across the city.
I don't know anything about the creation of this map so I'm guessing that the map is using the location data from one or two hours out of a single day. If you follow a single animated dot on the map it doesn't seem to travel very far in each step of the animation. So unless it takes 24 hours to cross LA by bus this map is providing a snapshot in time of the city's bus network in action.
It's still a great mapped visualization of transit data and a great demo of CartoDB's Torque library in action.

Mapping New York Taxi Data
This year there has been a number of really great mapped visualizations of New York taxi data. This latest map visualizes taxi traffic from JFK and LGA airports during the 2013 holiday season (Nov 15th to December 31st).
The NYC Taxi Holiday Visualization animates taxi journeys from New York's airports over the course of a month and half. As the animation plays you can view the animated tracks of thousands of individual cab journeys taken from JFK and LGA airports to all parts of the city.
While the animation plays out on the map the side-panel keeps a running total of the number of taxi trips taken from each of the airports' terminals. A bar graph at the bottom of the map also reveals the number of taxi journeys taken on each day. The graph reveals the drop in flights during Thanksgiving and a distinct rise in traffic after the holiday weekend as people fly back into NYC, presumably after visiting family outside of the city.
NYC Taxis: A Day in the Life is a MapBox visualization of the journey of one New York taxi over the course of 24 hours.
The map animates one New York taxi's route over the course of one day. As the animation plays the taxi's position is shown by a yellow circle map marker. All the passenger journeys are added to the map with a blue polyline. While the animation plays the map also keeps a running total of the cab's total number of passengers, fares and tips received.
Once you have viewed a day in the life of this New York taxi you can choose from another one of thirty cab journeys mapped over 24 hours.
Hubcab is a mapped visualization of 170 million taxi trips over one year in New York City. Using the map it is possible to view all pickup and drop-off points in the city and to view the number of trips taken between two separate locations.
Locations that were used as taxi pickup points in the city are shown as yellow dots on the map and drop-off points are shown as blue dots. It is also possible to refine the results displayed on the map by time of day.
You can view the number of taxi journeys between two different locations by dropping two markers on the map. After you place the markers on the map you can see the number of taxi journeys taken in one year in both directions between the two locations. You can even refine the results by time of day to explore when the most journeys between the two points are made at different times of the day.

Wikipedia Heat Maps
Frankenplace is a 'thematic map search engine.' Which means that you can use the map to create instant heat-maps for a range of words based on the words' frequency in over 1.6 million articles on Wikipedia and online travel blog entries.
For example the heat map above is the result of typing 'mosque' into Frankenplace. If you enter 'mountain' instead then you will get a heat map that roughly resembles the location of mountain ranges around the world.
Frankenplace can therefore be used to get an understanding of the spatial dynamics of a topic by providing a heat map of the topic as featured in Wikipedia and travel blogs. The site can also be used as a search engine to find relevant documents that march your search query.
For example, in my search for 'mosques' I might only be interested in French mosques. I can therefore use the map to zoom in on France. If I then mouse-over Paris on the map the side-panel shows me a link to the Grand Mosque of Évry. I can even read the Wikipedia for the Grand Mosque of Évry directly from the map.

Holiday food gifts
I need some fresh ideas for holiday gifts for the food lovers on my list. I'm tired of getting them the "tower" at Harry and David's or some random wine gift basket. Are there any interesting food gifts you've given/gotten?
What about a really nice bottle of champange? If the person is not a champange devotee it can easily be re-gifted or kept for a special occassion. You really can't go wrong. It's a "classy" and universal favorite.
On another note, what about a gift certificate to their favorite coffee shop, bakery, cheese or wine store or restaurant? Even a fully loaded ($50-$100) Starbucks card is usually welcome.
If they like to grind their own coffee beans, surprise them with their favorites.
Fresh baked goods - not pre-packaged ones in festive wrap might be a nice switch.
We rec'd and have given the breakfast in bed tray from winecountrygiftbaskets.com.
The tray is chocked full and the price point is outstanding.
oops, forgot about the dancingdeer.com company
and part of your purchases goes to help the homeless.
fun and delicious sweet/treats!
Lesley's Life is Sweet lesleyslifeissweet.com has beautiful, unusual chocolates, hot chocolates-
20% goes to charity-pink decorated for breast cancer, others for AIDS in Africa, etc.
Another Wisconsin company, Natural Ovens of Manitowoc, makes amazing whole grain breads and bagels
rootmoose.com, is a small home-based business that does natural foods gift baskets-tea and cookies, or fruit and veg, or...
Fran's Chocolates in Seattle has truly divine sea salt caramels All recipients have been delighted. http://www.franschocolates.com/
If they entertain or enjoy cooking - may I suggest oils, particularly a selection of olive oils, perhaps one infused with white truffles. Speaking of truffles - white or black truffles. I use the black truffles (easier to find, and more reasonably priced) in things like omelettes or scrambled eggs for brunch. White truffle oil on home made pommes frites -yumm!
Also, a selection of sea salts and sugars for the home chef/baker may be appreciated.

NEW YORK -- The man who owns the title of "Best Closer of All-Time" faltered. The man who now has a claim to "Best Closer on the Planet" did not.
That Mariano Rivera got stung for a blown save, his seventh of the season, in the Red Sox' stunning 9-8 victory over the Yankees merely reinforced the amazing and absurd season that Koji Uehara is putting together as Boston's closer by attrition.
Uehara -- who outlasted Lyle Overbay in a 12-pitch at-bat in the 10th inning that ended in a punchout and then punctuated the Sox' win by striking out Ichiro Suzuki -- wasn't supposed to be doing what he is doing. He was going to be part of a late-innings setup force, helping to pass the baton to Joel Hanrahan ... and then Andrew Bailey ... and then Hanrahan ... and then Junichi Tazawa ... and then Bailey. But when all three of those pitchers lost their jobs as closers -- Hanrahan and Bailey due to health, Tazawa evidently due to constitution -- the 38-year-old Uehara emerged as not only the closer but as a ninth-inning force of nature who is having a historically dominant campaign.
The ruthless efficiency of Uehara has been something for the ages. He retired all three batters he faced in the 10th inning on Thursday, in a pattern that has become a habit. It has been 19 days since Uehara allowed his last baserunner on Aug. 17. He's pitched 7 2/3 innings in that time, retiring all 23 batters he's faced while striking out 10. In three of those outings, he's needed fewer than 10 pitches.
Yet it's a run that has not occurred in isolation. In his 63 1/3 innings this year, the right-hander has allowed just 29 hits (.133 opponents' batting average) and nine walks (1.3 per nine innings) -- with his 0.600 WHIP ranking, at this moment, as the lowest in major league history for a pitcher who worked at least 50 innings, besting the standard for greatness achieved by Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley with the A's in 1989 (0.607).
He is now up to 29 1/3 consecutive innings without permitting an earned run and 26 straight scoreless innings, a run in which Uehara has struck out 38 and walked just two.
It is a stunning development, seeming like an out-of-nowhere accomplishment for the native of Neyagawa, Japan. It is not.
"The one thing you like is the swing-and-miss capability, and that's not just this year," Sox manager John Farrell noted prior to Thursday's game. "He's done it in the American League, he's done it in hitters' ballparks, he did it in Japan, as well as close. We felt like it was a late-inning guy that would put fewer balls in play, and through attrition he's emerged as our closer. He's pitched well in other years as he is right now. What he's doing right now isn't the first time he's done this. But the fact he's the closer, he'll probably get more notoriety in the role."
Indeed. Remarkably, Uehara is performing at something approximating his career norm since moving from NPB to MLB, with the primary distinction being that he's remained healthy and able to assume a significant workload out of the bullpen after navigating through on-and-off injuries through much of his previous big league career. After spending the 2009 season as a starter, he moved to the Baltimore bullpen, and in four years as a big league reliever he has a minuscule 0.72 WHIP, suggesting that he's done a better job of keeping opponents off base than anyone in the game. He's punched out 11.7 batters per nine innings, walked 1.1 per nine and been little short of dominant.
And his greatness goes back to a storied career in Japan, where he spent most of his 10 years as a starter with one campaign as a closer. He was the NPB Rookie of the Year in 1999 and a two-time winner of the Sawamura Award, the Japanese equivalent of the Cy Young. He was renowned.
When Gabe Kapler prepared to play for the Yomiuri Giants in 2005, he contacted former NBP great Tuffy Rhodes. That was Kapler's first exposure to the pitcher who was the ace of his Giants team.
"[Rhodes] talked about him as Maddux-esque -- he was like the Greg Maddux of Japan. That came from Tuffy, from my interpreter or really anyone who brought him up," said Kapler.
What, Uehara was asked, did such a title mean?
"I was a pitcher who gave up a lot of home runs," Uehara, through translator C.J. Matsumoto, said with a laugh. "I gave up more home runs than I gave up walks. ... Any pitcher can throw a strike right down the middle but get hit. Hitting the corners is what's important."
In his prime in Japan, Uehara had a 90-93 mph fastball and the same insane splitter that baffles opponents here. His routine dominance as one of the top starters in Japan earned him superstar status, and yet the pitcher pined to pitch in the States.
He'd considered bypassing pro ball in Japan and signing directly out of college -- where he made the conversion from outfielder to pitcher, a move that led to spectacular immediate results when he became the top draft pick in 1999 -- and Uehara came close to signing with the Angels. But his conviction in such an undertaking -- at the time, an unprecedented maneuver for a top Japanese amateur -- faltered.
"A major league scout told me that if you don't have 100 percent confidence to succeed here, you shouldn't come -- especially at that time," said Uehara. "There weren't many Japanese players who had come over and succeeded. So, there was always some fear about language barriers and stuff like that."
Still, as he achieved immediate success in Japan, Uehara became convinced of his ability to excel in the United States if given the opportunity. The notion was reinforced in 2002 when, in a pair of exhibition starts against a traveling team of U.S. All-Stars, he had a 2.45 ERA with 13 strikeouts -- including three in one game of Barry Bonds.
"There was always my desire to pitch, even while I was pitching in the Japanese League," said Uehara. "I was always asking teams to give a chance to be posted. With the Giants, that didn't work."
Kapler became aware of Uehara's interest in crossing the Pacific when the two were teammates in 2005.
"I can remember a conversation in the food room through an interpreter," recalled the former Sox outfielder. "I do remember him asking questions, and thinking, 'This guy really wants to come pitch in the United States.' He was inquisitive and his energy was warm. He wore a big smile. He was a down-to-earth superstar -- who was absolutely a superstar in Japan. Make no mistake about that. He was both a superstar and he wanted to come play in the United States."
Yet with the Giants, he would not get that opportunity through the posting process. Unlike Daisuke Matsuzaka and Yu Darvish, who got the opportunity to enter big league rotations in the majors in their prime years, Uehara had to wait until he became a free agent after 10 full seasons pitching for the most famous team in Japan.
By the end of his Yomiuri career, he'd lost his status as staff ace and his spot in the rotation. He spent a very successful year as the Giants closer in 2007, but in 2008 he struggled with injuries, shuttling between the rotation and bullpen en route to a 3.81 ERA.
"When he came to America, he was sort of at the end of his career with the same stuff," noted one international scout who saw Uehara frequently in Japan. "He was really struggling."
That fall explains why Uehara's signing with the Orioles to a two-year, $10 million deal barely made a ripple. It was anything but front page news in Japan, while in the States there were no stories about his famous baseball upbringing, no discussions of his possession of pitches that possessed mythical powers. He was viewed as a back-end starter who might not be able to stick in the rotation in the AL East, and indeed, his move to the bullpen after one year in the States cemented the fact that he was a secondary story among the constellation of Japanese stars playing in the majors.
"I think they go by popularity, the media," said Uehara. "[Pitching in the bullpen is] probably one reason I didn't have the spotlight on me. I don't think the spotlight is going to get brighter, because I'm not a starter. The starters get the spotlight."
Yet whether he realizes it or not, Uehara slowly is commanding a place of distinction. His historic run in the big leagues has forced a swell of attention that will not subside so long as he sustains his jaw-dropping performance.
On a team that seems destined for the playoffs, Uehara has been a massive presence. That was true at the beginning of the year in a setup role in which he imbued an unexpected shock of energy with his efficient success and exuberant high-fives. ("I never saw that. He seemed so much more reserved," rued Kapler. "I remember good high-fives. I would have loved to have felt the force of one of his high-fives, and I don't remember that.") And it has been particularly true as a game-ending anchor, in which Uehara took the Sox' position of greatest instability and turned it into one of historic certainty.
A case can be made that Uehara -- even if briefly -- is amidst one of the greatest stretches ever by a big league closer. It's not merely that he saves games. Uehara dispatches the opposition with a mesmerizing efficiency that denies it hope. He is the unquestioned anchor leg for a team that has the best record in the American League and now appears to be pulling away in the AL East, a pitcher who is making a huge contribution to that push in a period in which he's been better than any of his peers.
There have been nights in the last two-plus months in which Rivera has been human. Ditto Fernando Rodney and Jim Johnson. Uehara? He has been as close to perfect over a two-month period as the Sox could ever have hoped.
"To have the anchor back there, it allows everyone to fall in line behind the starter to bridge back to him," said Farrell. "Knowing that you've got him available to us, it's a luxury for us right now."
