As a 4-year-old picking out presents at a toy drive at Chattanooga High School, all Lafrederick Thirkill wanted was a Big Wheel. But another boy beat him to it.
On Monday, Thirkill, now the principal of Orchard Knob Elementary School, finally got his own set of plastic wheels.
But more importantly, each of the 500-plus Orchard Knob students received gifts of their own.
The gifts came from members of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at Silverdale Baptist Academy, who collected more than 1,000 toys for all preschoolers through fifth-graders at Orchard Knob, a school in which more than 85 percent of students are considered impoverished.
"Today is a life-changing day for many of our students," Thirkill said. "This is a day they will never forget for the rest of their lives."
Toys were separated by age group and gender as children selected from basketballs, toy trucks, board games, scooters and dolls, among other items.
Preschoolers and kindergartners snuggled on the laps of Silverdale students as they began to test out their new toys.
"They've never even met," said Christie Johnson, who works in the development office at Silverdale Baptist Academy. "They're strangers. A lot of people would shy away. That's the beauty. That's how you know it's God."

Silverdale's fellowship asked the school for gifts but also collected cash and gifts from the Silverdale Baptist Church community.
"The kids did it all," Johnson said. "They were passionate about it."
Thomas Leslie, 17 and a senior fellowship officer, said students gathered more than $1,000 in donations from small group leaders at the church in addition to the hundreds of gifts brought in by students.
"It was awesome. It makes me want to take them home," he said.
Silverdale students said they most enjoyed spending time with the youngsters and seeing them play with their new gifts.
"It was mind-blowing," said 15-year-old Sloane Woodward, a sophomore Fellowship of Christian Athletes officer.
The idea for the gift-giving came from a Silverdale employee with a friend who worked at Orchard Knob and knew of the school's need.
"It started with a simple idea and God just took it and made it bigger and bigger," Leslie said.
After Silverdale staff members and students presented the principal with his Big Wheel, Thirkill squeezed in and took it for an honorary spin around the gymnasium.
"I finally got my Big Wheel," he said.

Thursday, 15 August 2013 00:00
On August 20th the Town of Oyster Bay (the "Town") is asking you to decide whether it should sell a 54-acre parcel currently used by the Department of Public Works (the "DPW Parcel"). The driving force behind the sale would be to decrease the Town's debt in order to prevent a downgrade in the Town's Bond rating.
The influx of cash from the sale (approximately $32 million dollars) will be a temporary alleviation of the Town's fiscal problems.
Although the Town has deemed the DPW Parcel to be surplus, the Town desires that any sale transaction for the DPW Parcel contains a lease component whereby the Town will lease the DPW Parcel for 5 to 10 years after the actual sale from the purchaser so that the Town may continue to use the DPW Parcel for necessary storage and related operations. Query whether the Town will need to purchase another site to continue such operations upon the expiration of its lease.
Your "yes" vote means that you believe the Town should sell the DPW Parcel to a consortium of developers of area malls and a residential community developer. This consortium states that it does not want another developer to purchase the DPW Parcel and build a shopping mall that would compete with their area malls. Instead, the consortium has indicated that it plans to build a mixed-use development after the Town lease expires.
A "no" vote means that you believe that the Town should not sell the DPW Parcel to the consortium. Taubman – a mid-west based mall developer would like you to vote "no". Taubman owns the adjacent 38 acre parcel and has been trying to develop a mall on that property for almost 20 years – if Taubman is able to purchase the DPW site in an open bidding process, they will more than double the space they currently own to build an even larger mall.
If the argument is to sell it to someone other than the mall developer (Taubman) to prevent the mall developer from buying it, then as long as the Town owns it and as long as the Town does not sell it, the mall developer will not be able to buy it, if it is "not for sale".
The majority of the population does not want the mall, nor do I, nor the East Norwich Civic Association, but do we really want the Town of Oyster Bay to sell off such an asset to close a very deep financial hole.
How can it be surplus land owned by the Town if the Town still needs to use it for the next ten years? Will the taxpayers ten years out have to pay for replacement of this acreage at what hopes to be a better economy at potentially twice the price of replacement?
As complicated as this whole matter appears, it is really very simple: a Yes vote allows the Town to sell off an asset that they are using to partially close a financial gap that the public will need to find the funds to replace sometime down the road. Or, Vote No, not to sell it, neither to the consortium nor to the highest bidder (potentially Taubman).

President, East Norwich Civic Association

Two hundred business students from high schools across Nassau County, including Massapequa High School, competed for scholarships and cash awards—more than $33,000 in all—from various sponsors at Nassau County's annual Comptroller's Entrepreneurial Challenge.
Thursday, 17 April 2014 00:00
The events on Sept. 11, 2001 had a profound effect on nearly all in the tri-state area, but for first responders, the effects were overwhelming. Long-time Massapequa resident Michael Smith, a member of the New York Fire Department, experienced those effects firsthand.
"While I've always been a person that could appreciate life, after 9/11 I became so distraught," he said. "I realized I need to do something I want to do — something I love to do."
A 30-year veteran of the fire department, Smith retired in 2002. He and his wife of 33 years, Teresa, began to look for a place they could enjoy life. This mindset brought them to the East End of Long Island, where they often went for day trips. They settled down in a home in Orient Point in 2004; in a home that needed quite a bit of work. And when it was time to landscape the property, a new idea took root — a vineyard.

Determine where the flat panel will be mounted on your wall. Use a tape measure to mark the correct height on the wall.
How to Hide Components for a Wall Mount Flat Screen TV
To properly install a wall mount flat screen TV, you need to hide the components behind the wall to avoid seeing the cables that connect the television to the electrical outlet. One way to hide the components is by using a cable organizer kit. These kits include all the necessary cable plates and wiring tools to get the job done efficiently.
Things You'll Need
- Cable organizer kit
- Sheetrock (drywall) saw
- Screwdriver
- Pencil
- Measuring tape
Trace the template that comes with the kit next to the mark on the wall. Use a pencil to lightly trace around the template. Now trace the template once more directly below the first marking. You want to trace the second template close to the baseboards of the wall. For the purposes of this tutorial, the top template will be template one, and the the bottom template will be template two.
Use the saw to cut out both templates. Straighten the 8-foot coil of electrical wire that is included in the kit. Run it through the wall from template one and pull it through template two. Break open one of the four tabs on the back of the electric box included in the kit. You can use a screw driver to break open the tab. Feed the electrical wire through the opening. Push the box into template one and secure it with four screws on all the corners. Repeat this process for template two.
On the back of the cable plate are multiple colored screws. Connect the bare copper conductor to the green grounding screw, the white conductor to the silver screw, and the black conductor to the brass screw. Secure each connection with a screw driver. Push the plate into template one and secure it using the included screws.
Install the recessed cable plate that has a straight blade inlet in template two. There are three wire leads coming out of the back of the plate. Match the leads with the three conductors coming out of the electrical wire. The green lead connects with the bare copper conductor, the black lead connects with the black conductor, and the white lead connects with the white conductor. To secure the wire, you twist each end together with a wire nut. Push the recessed cable plate into template two and secure it with the included screws.
- 1
Tips & Warnings
- When you are feeding the electrical wire from template one down to template two, it helps to bend a hook into the top of the wire. While you are feeding the wire down, you can secure the hook over the cut ridge to keep the top from falling behind the wall.

You've heard about the killer virus in the news, but here are some things about it you may not know.
How exactly does the Ebola virus take human lives, as it has done to horrific effect in West African nations? Trace takes a look inside the human body to find out what happens to it when Ebola arrives.
Since mankind thoroughly eradicated polio, there hasn't been a single human-infecting disease that's been fully removed from the global population. Tara explains how this can be, when we've otherwise advanced so much with our medical treatments.
Trace takes us on a stomach-churning roundup of the world of foodborne illnesses.
Laci Green examines some of history's most horrifying and death-dealing illnesses, the kind that lay waste to entire populations.
The illness is potentially deadly for the individuals, who have never been exposed to it before.
As many as 1.5 percent, or 1 in 68 U.S. children on average may have autism, according to new estimates released today by the CDC.
Humans may be able to smell sickness, or at least detect a distinct odor in the sweat of people with highly active immune systems.

AVC halts cocaine experiments on primates in Belgium!
Recently, the Anti-Vivisection Coalition (AVC) has continuously been present at the ceremony marking the opening of the academic year at the University of Leuven, Belgium, protesting against their experiments on primates. Our campaign is now yielding results.
AVC Chairman Danny Flies comments:
"This is the first year we will not be protesting at the opening of the academic year. The newly elected head of the university, Rik Torfs, has shown interest in our campaign and immediately invited us for a meeting. Talks were very constructive and open. Torfs gave immediate assurances that cocaine experiments on primates were no longer going to be tolerated." (1)
"In order to ensure the upcoming talks can be held in an equally respectful and constructive manner, we are cancelling our planned protest and suspending further campaigning".
AVC expects the University of Leuven to place all internal requests for new primate experiments on hold, to stop buying new monkeys and to not euthanise primates currently held, but rehome them with the AAP Foundation animal sanctuary. More over, AVC offer to enter into partnership with the University of Leuven and provide the expertise of scientists who specialise in non-animal brain research.
AVC Chairman Danny Flies continues:
"Torfs was clearly willing to listen to our call and to the 72% of the Belgian population that have declared their opposition to all experiments on primates. (2) At the moment, 37 primates are still stuck at the University of Leuven, monkeys who were until recently used in fruitless cocaine experiments. AVC has more than enough experience in re-housing primates who have been used in testing. Hitherto, we have managed to save 85 monkeys from European laboratories!"

Choreographer: Tanya GlassmanThis international smash-hit may be the most popular musical in the world. In 19th century France, Jean Valjean is released from 19 years of unjust imprisonment, but finds nothing in store for him but mistrust and mistreatment. He breaks his parole in hopes of starting a new life, initiating a life-long struggle for redemption as he is relentlessly pursued by police inspector Javert, who refuses to believe Valjean can change his ways. Finally, during the Paris student uprising of 1832, Javert must confront his ideals after Valjean spares his life and saves that of the student revolutionary who has captured the heart of Valjean's adopted daughter. His world-view shattered, Javert commits suicide, and Valjean at last attains the peace he has sought for so long.

Their stormy relationship comes to a head when the workers strike for a 7 and a half cent pay increase, setting off not only a conflict between management and labor, but a battle of the sexes as well.

Nutri-Vet Pill Gun for Pets 4 4
works awesome After fighting with my dog for 9 years with allergy pills a friend told me about this product so I thought I would give it a try. I love it and it dont get bit every time I give him a pill. January 9, 2014
Does the job! Just fine for a pill shooter, but very small pills have to be positioned just right and I had to pull off the safety stopper on the top because it didn't push the pill all the way out with that still on it. August 25, 2014
Pill Gun This is a clever idea. I thought I had found the solution to giving my cat her daily pill....except she only gets 1/4 of a tablet and I could not get that to work, in the Pill Gun. I think it will work great for a whole tablet. June 4, 2014
Too big Needed it for a small round pill for my cat, unfortunately the dispenser hole was too large so it didn't work. Otherwise it was good, just wish the description had said more clearly the pills that should and shouldn't fit May 25, 2014

working on 70-290 and im a little stuck on a question
Q. What method would be most useful to generate 100 new user objects, each of which have identical profile path, home folder path, Title, Web Page, Company, Department, and Manager settings?
A. Dsadd will be the most useful method. You can enter one command line that includes all the parameters. By leaving the UserDN parameter empty, you can enter the users' distinguished names one at a time in the command console. A user object template does not allow you to configure options such as Title, Telephone Number, and Web Page. Generating a comma-delimited text file would be time-consuming in comparison, particularly when so many parameters are identical.
I dont get it, I've tried for a good hour now to figure it out on my own, but I'm going around in circles.
can any one help explain to me what the answer means, or type out the dsadd code that i would need to type to do what the question is asking of me.

1 (14.75 ounce) can
salmon, drained and flaked
1 (7.5 ounce) can
salmon, drained and flaked
1 (4 ounce) packet
saltine crackers, crushed
eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons
1 1/2 teaspoons
Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons
fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon
red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon
dry mustard
2 tablespoons
vegetable oil, or as needed
Yum! These have a fresh, wonderful flavor, my family loved them. I did add a light outer coating of crushed saltines before frying, probably not necessary.
Jim's Salmon Patties' Haiku: "These were just okay. Two things didn't jive with us. But we're glad we tried!" My only sub was Ritz crackers for saltines, otherwise, I followed the recipe as written, and formed and put the patties in the fridge for a few hrs. b4 cooking in the hopes that they would hold together well (they didn't.) That being said, that was our 1st disappointment - that they didn't quite retain their shape. We also didn't like the taste of Worcestershire and lemon juice in them, preferring some of the more "basic" salmon patty recipes that we've made on AR. Still, a sprinkle of Texas Pete hot sauce and a side salad, and we finished them all b/c I don't think the leftovers would've held together at all.

DELICIOUS! The only changes I made were adding some finely chopped onion to the mix and coating them in seasoned breadcrumbs before frying. These are super flavorful and moist, and some of the best that I have made...a definite keeper~YUM! Thanks for sharing. :)
These are delicious but I think I'll add one egg to the mix to help it stay together. I also used panko bread crumbs instead of saltines, it added to the crunch including coatin g them in pankos.
What is up with those bones in canned salmon? That said, I followed the recipe exactly and the patties were a HUGE success. Delicious! Will put this in rotation since it's only the fourth thing the whole family will eat!!!! (and you really can't have wings every day......)
We loved this recipe! I used 3 small cans of Salmon. Made a Ketchup/hot sauce to dip. I did add a bit of finely diced onion & celery because I read it on another recipe, and got confused,lol. I sauteed the veggies before adding to the mixture. I think the spice listed was right on for us. Will make this again! Family loved it, thank you!
Excellent; moist; I am a beginning cook in the kitchen and the family loved them. Thank you!
I've made salmon patties over the years but never really cared much for them. These were quite good, however, very flavorful, and the three fish eaters in my family liked them (a couple kids won't eat any fish). I had two 14 oz cans and used them both. I added some liquid from the can. I added some chopped onion and garlic, and because I try to sneak in kale whenever I can, I added one big stalk of finely chopped kale. I didn't refrigerate them before cooking and they held together just fine.
Besides that, I followed the recipe. It made a lot more than what we ate for one meal, but will make good leftovers. Thanks for a good canned salmon recipe!

Will you trust a .org more than a .com?
TIAA-CREF thinks you will. Their new advertising campaign created by Modernista emphasizes its status as a nonprofit organization. Their new campaign, starting this week, focuses on a new website, PowerOf.org.
According to the New York Times article "A Dot-Org Stresses That It's No Dot-Com":
"Think .org-onimically," the headline of a print ad urges. "How much more objective can you get than .o-r-g?" another ad inquires. A third ad declares that ".org" represents "three of the most trusted letters on the Internet."
In a television commercial, an announcer declares: "We are a financial services dot-org, not a dot-com. For nearly 90 years, our mission has been to put the heart of a nonprofit to work for those who serve the greater good.
"We do this the dot-org way," the announcer continues, "with low fees, objective advice and a unique insight into the hearts and minds of those who give us hope for the future." …
I think the campaign has dialed into some powerful emotions about nonprofits that will resonate with their audience. Unfortunately, they're using the advertising campaign as the driving point to PowerOf.org, and that afterthought of a website is the weak link.
PowerOf.org is a poorly designed website — actually, it's a mini-site, and part of TIAA-CREF.org. The scent trails are weak, the navigation is worse, the usability is poor — especially those tiny plus signs for "more-ons" — and the messaging is the usual financial services schpiel with a pixie dust sprinkling of the creative that could have been.
I think TIAA-CREF may be onto something, but I'm not impressed with the execution. Too bad they'll spend all that money on traffic to a website that won't deliver the customer experience to match.
What do you think?
I'm not certain they're right that the public perception of what dot-org means is strong enough to base a campaign on. It's always hard for experts to know what common knowledge is about their subject- I wonder if they surveyed customers to find that out.
My biggest website ever was dot-org, and was not truly a non-profit… yes, it was started with public serving motives, but I don't know that the dot-org itself conveyed that. I think it was the brand and the relationship I built with readers.
Plus, talking about any top level domain just seems nerdy. I've learned that talking nerd-speak doesn't work to well with anyone other than, well… nerds!
Can't anyone get a dot org site? Many years ago, I thought only non-profits could get dot org extensions, but – come to think of it, I believe I actually bought http://www.marketwithspirit.org so that I wouldn't have any confusion if someone else bought that domain name (my site is http://www.marketwithspirit.com, and come to think of it, I really ought to get the .org and .net versions on there!).
So I think their ads are misleading, and that makes me trust them less.
I just looked at the site – the copy is awful! Did they pay Modernista for that copy? They could've done better themselves.
The idea of a non-profit being more trustworthy is a good one, but it just doesn't come across at all.
As the new CEO of the .org registry, I was thrilled first to see the NY times story about the TIAA-CREF campaign. I have also followed the discussions about this campaign. I am not in the advertising industry, so I cannot adequately comment on the merits of the site design or colors. Nor do I work for or have any connections to TIAA-CREF, so I can not represent their views. What I can comment on is .org which is squarely in my domain; pardon the pun.
So let's address some of the issues folks have speculated on. One that has come up on various discussions is the question" can anyone get a .org name?" and the answer is yes, it is an unrestricted, so anyone can purchase a .org domain. However The TIAA-CREF campaign stresses one fact which we at the .org registry have known for quite some time; .org is seen as a trusted address. We have known this since 2004 based on quantitative customer research we conducted. As a result of the research we championed an educational campaign (www.protectyour.org) to let legitimate .org domain holders know how to protect their .org domains from opportunists who would other wise snap up the domain and use it in way contrary to the original intent. But the question is why does the public have this positive perception and is it well founded? For that, you would have to know a bit about the company (see http://www.pir.org)
As the custodians of .org we are a non-profit driven by principles that strive to keep .org a trusted domain and the Internet a vibrant, growing and open space. How?
1) We have raised awareness of practices which in harming the interests of legitimate organizations mislead the market they serve. http://www.icann.org/correspondence/viltz-to-crocker-26mar06.pdf
2) We are active in a number of organizations such as, CFP (Computers, Freedom and Privacy), EPIC (Electronic Privacy Information Center), CTCNet (Community Technology Centers' Network), and the Anti-Phishing Working Group (http://www.antiphishing.org/) where we advocate policies for the protection of privacy of personal data and greater awareness in the noncommercial community of the communications power of the Internet.
3) We have implemented policies (see http://www.icann.org/minutes/resolutions-22nov06.htm) that aim to raise economic barriers for those who wish to engage in practices which often lead to mis-use of the .org domain name and hence erode public trust.
How many spam or phishing messages do you get that originate from a .org address? Not many, I would say. So we have and we will continue to protect this domain space and hence earn the respect and trust that internet users have so far accorded a .org address. I applaud TIAA-CREF's campaign as it shows that large well known organizations are able to build upon brand equity based on the value inherent in a .org address. As I said I am not qualified to comment on any creative aspects of the campaign, but they are on solid ground when they emphasize the value of their .org name as a stable and trusted address.
Alexa – Thank you for the information.
it is my personal opinion that a dot org must stay a dot org. It should be completeley reserved for official non-profit organizations. Infact this was why this name was intended to be
So I think their ads are misleading, and that makes me trust them less. [Tools & Technology]

HOT TOPICS: Alcoholism Addiction AA Cocaine Heroin
New York City Cops To Carry Overdose Antidote
The nation's largest city will finally start to combat widespread heroin overdoses with life-saving medication.
Like many other municipalities across the state and around the country, New York City police officers will soon begin to carry naloxone, the life-saving medication that reverses the effects of heroin and other opioid-related overdoses.
Funds from the New York State attorney general's office totaling $1.2 million will be used to provide officers with 19,500 naloxone kits in an effort to "literally save lives," said Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman.
Like many areas in the northeast, New York City has been hit hard by a wave of fatal heroin overdoses, including the high profile death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman. The rash of deaths has increased calls for making naloxone more widely available with police officers and other emergency responders, since they are the most likely to come into contact with someone in the midst of an overdose.
New York's attorney general has committed a total of $5 million to reimburse police departments across the state that have purchased naloxone kits. So far, more than 150 police departments have applied for funds and payment for some 25,000 kits has been approved.
The decision to provide the state's most populated city with life-saving kits followed a successful pilot program in Suffolk County. Since 2012, police officers in the Long Island county have saved 184 lives due to being able to administer the antidote.
While it remains unclear when NYPD officers will receive their naloxone kits, hope that even more lives will be saved has been renewed.

Sequim man found guilty of child sex crimes
Judge S. Brooke Taylor listened to evidence and testimony provided by Deputy Prosecutor Ann Lundwall for two days after Welty, 59, waived his right to a jury trial Oct. 4.
John Hayden, representing Welty on behalf of the Public Defender's office, did not present any evidence or testimony for the defense and Welty, who wore an orange jumpsuit and chains around his waist, arms and feet. Welty did not take the stand or speak during any point of the trial.
Lundwall's witnesses included Welty's now-14-year-old victim, who testified the sexual abuse started when she was 4 years old and continued until she was 11.
Three other relatives, including the victim's mother, testified for the prosecution. The Sequim Gazette does not identify victims of sexual crimes. To protect the identity of the victim, the Gazette will not name the victim's mother or other relatives who testified.
The victim testified the abuse started when she was 4 and was visiting Welty at his Sequim home with her older brother during a school vacation. The two children would visit Welty and his wife once or twice a year for several days at a time without their parents, she said.
After his wife left for work, Welty came in to the guest bedroom where the children slept, woke the victim and took her into his bedroom where he took off her pants and performed sexual acts on her using his hands and mouth, she said.
The victim said she remembers him telling her he loved her and that it was a secret.
The same sexual abuse continued at least once every year for six years until she told him to stop, she said.
It wasn't until this summer, while having a "sex talk" with her mom that she felt she could tell her what happened, the victim said.
The victim's mother testified the same sexual acts were committed on her by Welty starting around the same age.
The mother never had told anyone about the abuse before her daughter confided in her, Lundwall said.
Another relative testified she was similarly sexually abused by Welty. Lundwall showed the court a photo of the woman at 6 years old when the sex act allegedly occurred and a photo of the victim at 4 years old, when her abuse began.
"There is an uncanny physical resemblance between the victim and another related victim when the abuse started," Lundwall said.
The sexual abuse committed on the mother and other relative could not be prosecuted because the Washington state statute of limitations had passed.
phone calls
Lundwall played five recorded phone calls where Welty is confronted about the abuse. The first four were recorded through the Clallam County Sheriff's Office and the fifth phone call was made from Welty's jail cell to his wife. All phone calls made by inmates, except attorney-client calls, are recorded.
In the first recording Welty is confronted for the first time by the victim's mother. He denied any molestation occurred.
"I can't believe you did this to my baby," the victim's mother cried on the recording.
Welty's denial shifted in the second recording, where he admitted he has done "a lot of things that aren't good."
"I was loving her and it went too far," he said.
Welty told the victim's mother he has "never, ever gone outside of the family" and that he has prayed about what happened and stopped being a pastor because of it.
"I've expressed my love in a weird way," he said. "You know that."
He said he and the victim were just "blowing on each others bellies" playfully and he went down too far.
Defense closing argument
While the defense did not present any evidence or witnesses, Hayden's closing remarks attempted to poke holes in the prosecution.
"He takes her (the victim) out of the bedroom and her brother doesn't even notice?" Hayden said. "That's a huge red flag here."
Hayden said it was "troubling" the victim's mother would let her children stay with Welty when she also claimed she'd been abused.
As for the recordings, Hayden said "he (Welty) said it got out of hand once. Try as they might, they can't get more out of Steve."
The verdict
Taylor announced his verdict Oct. 6 after deliberating overnight and through the morning. Taylor said he believes the charges brought against Welty are just "the tip of the iceberg" and there were probably dozens of such occasions during the victim's life.
Taylor said he was struck by the testimony of the victim, who recalled the abuse with extraordinary detail, retained a good demeanor and had an excellent choice of words.
"She is one of the most credible teenage witnesses I've had the pleasure to listen to," he said, later adding "There is no evidence she had any reason to lie or exaggerate."
Taylor said he also was struck by the absence of denial by Welty aside from the initial phone call.
"When confronted, he tried to feign shock and disbelief but quickly relented when pressed and tried to minimize what happened," he said.
Taylor said the testimony provided by the mother and other female relative described "shockingly similar" acts and while it was not essential to the case, it provided corroboration.
Welty is scheduled to be sentenced at 9 a.m. Nov. 16 in Clallam County Superior Court. Rape of a child in the first degree and first-degree child molestation are both Class A felonies, punishable by up to life imprisonment. Incest in the first degree is a Class B felony, punishable by up to 10 years incarceration.
Lundwall said based on Welty's offender score under state guidelines he faces a maximum of 30 years in prison.

Images: Water on a Saturn moon?
Summary: One of at least 47 moons orbiting Saturn, Enceladus has the rapt attention of scientists.
3 of 4Image
Backlit plumes
Recent Cassini images show the fountainlike plumes of fine spray that tower over Enceladus' south polar region. This image, backlit by the sun, was taken looking more or less broadside at "tiger stripe" fractures observed in earlier Enceladus images.
Ancient craters on Enceladus remain somewhat pristine in some locales but have clearly relaxed in others. Fractures across the southern hemisphere likely were caused by a change in the moon's rate of rotation and the consequential flattening of the moon's shape. The south polar terrain is marked by a striking set of blue fractures and is encircled by a conspicuous chain of folds and ridges.
Plume modelThis graphic illustrates key aspects of a model of an Enceladus geyser proposed by the Cassini imaging science team in the Science paper.
The model shows how underground reservoirs of pressurized liquid water could fuel geysers that send jets of icy material into the skies above the moon's south pole. In the graphic, the vent to the surface pierces one of the "tiger stripe" fractures seen in Cassini views of the southern polar terrain.

A specific date or location has yet to be announced for the UFC's debut on FX, but on Thursday the world's premier mixed martial arts promotion was able to confirm the show's featured attraction. Lightweights Melvin Guillard (Pictured) and Jim Miller will meet in a three-round shootout this January.
Guillard was on a torrid run before Joe Lauzon served up an upset special at UFC 136. Many believed if "The Young Assassin" could have left the October scrap victorious that he would have been next in line for a shot at Frankie Edgar's title. Guillard had won his last five fights prior to the 47-second submission loss.
Speaking of snapped winning streaks, before Guillard's defeat, some argued Miller would have gotten next dibs at the 155-pound crown had he beaten Ben Henderson at "UFC on Versus 5." Unfortunately for Miller, Bendo ended his seven-fight win streak in dominating fashion.
According to the trusty rumor mill, the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee has emerged as the frontrunner to host the January 20th shindig.
Here are the athletes slated to participate in the event:
Pat Barry vs. Christian Morecraft
Josh Neer vs. Duane Ludwig
Jim Miller vs. Melvin Guillard

I've been making this for 30+years. My kids used to look forward to it, especially at holiday time. You can make this any color you want, but for some reason I always did pink (I think it reminded my kids of the packaged "lucky" popcorn). Now my daughter is carrying on the tradition and making it for my grandkids. Recipe comes from an old newspaper clipping.

Around 11:19pm Saturday night, Richmond Police responded to the 6400 block of Hull Street Road for an accident involving a pedestrian and a vehicle.
A 1996 Dodge Caravan was east on Hull Street Road when it struck a pedestrian who was running across Hull. The initial investigation shows no evidence of speed or alcohol with the driver.
The pedestrian was pronounced dead at Chippenham ER. The identity of the pedestrian is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
The driver was not injured and no charges will be placed.
This brings Richmond's traffic fatalities for the year to 16. Last year at this time the Department had recorded 11 traffic deaths.

Mary Zimmerman is the director of The White Snake, now playing at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago. | Photo by Richard A. Chapman/Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: June 23, 2014 10:59AM
Director Mary Zimmerman has the magic touch when it comes to spinning exotic tales from every corner of world literature. Both a Tony Award winner and a MacArthur ("genius") Fellow, she has brought her fluid storytelling and visually arresting sensibility to bear on everything from Ovid's "Metamorphoses" to "Arabian Nights," from the Buddhist classic, "Journey to the West" to a musical version of Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book."
Her productions have been seen at Chicago's Goodman and Lookingglass theaters, on regional stages throughout the United States, and in such hallowed halls as New York's Metropolitan Opera House and Milan's La Scala. Her latest adventure is a poignant but often playful adaptation of "The White Snake," an ancient Chinese fable that will run through June 8 at the Goodman Theatre and will move in September to the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis.
Here are some of Zimmerman's thoughts on the bright, the beautiful and the Buddhist:
Again and again, the things I've done on stage are overwhelmingly Buddhist in spirit. But I can't call myself a Buddhist because I eat meat, and I have a dog who eats meat, so I don't follow the essential precept of "doing no harm and taking no life." And this is a big conflict for me because I'm a great follower of Thich Nhat Hanh, the Vietnamese monk. And of all the philosophies in the world, Buddhism is the most appealing to me because it's non-hierarchical, non-authoritarian, and doesn't even claim to have answers. It has been an invaluable guide to living for me, giving me a way of being with other people, moderating my temper, my impatience, my striving. But I'm a terrible Buddhist.
My being calm in the rehearsal room is not altruistic; it's the way to get things done. Plus, having worked in opera, and having dealt with the kind of intense high stakes and fear that opera always brings into a room, the only way to calm the room down — when everyone else is grabbing the available hysteria — is for me to grab something else. As a director I believe my principal job is to be consistently observant and present, and to watch and listen to the performers as deeply and lovingly as their mothers did in infancy.
I spent the first half of my life not really much in control of myself, and you can see it in my work — you can feel the drive and desperation. But as I get older it's nice to try and float above a lot of that, and just let go a little.
As for the visual beauty in my work, to be honest, I think it comes from my never feeling that I myself was an exquisite visual. I learned that from an early age: I had bottle-thick glasses as a child, and when I said I wanted to be an actress, people looked at me askance because I was not an adorable little girl at all, and never have been, to this day.
I remember watching a scene from "Journey to the West" many years ago, when a group of my actors just lowered pine branches to music, and a voice in my head said: "That's what you look like." There was something in the composition and color that said, "This is your interior visual." And I think that is at the heart of so many fairy tales, like "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Princess and the Frog." It's the thing we try to teach children — about not judging by appearances or outer form, and that the essential thing is what's inside.
In "The White Snake" it's the reverse — she appears to be a beautiful lady, but she knows she's really a snake. But it's the same fear — that if she was seen as she really is, full of anger, bitterness, jealousy or whatever, she could not possibly be loved. That's a common human anxiety, but this tale says it IS possible to be loved for who you are. Of course who knows if that's true in real life?
In a real sense I've made my adult professional life out of the books I read before the age of 10 — "The Odyssey," "The Arabian Nights," fairy tales. My mother had a copy of Edith Hamilton's "Mythology" on her bookshelf, and I always thought those myths were fairy tales for grownups, with some thrilling sexual content. I grew up in Nebraska, but my parents were professors who taught in Cambridge, London and Paris at times.
I read a lot of those English children's detective stories. I loved "The Secret Garden" and "The Yearling," which is so beautiful, but might be too devastating to do on stage. And I read "The Lord of the Rings" about nine times by the time I was 12. I was a complete fanatic, even making the maps.
The central issue of my life is where to live, because the one thing they don't tell you when you go into the theater is that you will have the life of a traveling salesman. I didn't live in my Evanston apartment from last July to this February. And I don't like hotels, so I always try to stay in apartments when I'm on the road. I do love my house on an island in Maine, and I had one of the best dinners ever there, with everyone cooking their specialties — marinated salmon, spicy potatoes, a salad and a raspberry pie that I made. It was all so delicious that no one spoke.

What's the skinny on Walter's Hot Dogs?
- c
- Chuck Jul 4, 2003 12:59 PM
Just saw a FoodTV show on this place - Supposed to be famous. Especially made for them. From the looks of the hot dog, it seemed to be of the skinless variety. Seemed like they place it the griddle and eventually split it down the middle to crisp it up on all sides?
Any Hounds with information on this place?
The dog is a very bland dog fried on both sides on a griddle in oil. Well done is the way to go. Only fixin's are mustard, ketchup, or their mustard relish which is mustard with some relish mixed in. They are ok but nothing spectacular. The sweet potato puffs are interesting the first time. Yhey make very good shakes and malts, especially peach. Most of the time there are long lines. It's more of an institution than really good dogs. Go ahead and try the place, then report back what you think.
re: The Rogue
i agree; it's not about the hot dogs or the food (utterly mediocre and the mustard relish is just bad in my book tho others love it); it's about the institution and milieu, both of which are sort of special; milk shakes are pretty good as i recall (extra thick, black and white, malted is the proper set of options)
there's something great about the fact that a ritzy burb like mamaroneck can spawn a genuinely idiosyncratic joint like this, and that aging boomers can keep crawling back to it for some vestigal memories of high school romance a la Grease when their reality had actually been more Bye Bye Birdie
it's cool; the food's an also-ran
re: john farago
Sorry....after hearing you guys talk about Walter's I figured it had to at least be a normal, decent dog even if it wasn't the "institution" it was being cracked up to be. Sorry again. What a waste of gas...and gas. Walter's is utterly underwhelming on every level, though I didn't have a shake. The curly fries and regular fries are just fries...nothing at all special. The hot dog is a total joke. A double, single or a puppy dog, which is half a friggin' hot dog. Gimme a break. Anything you want on these nearly tasteless, flat, split open drab tubes as long as it's mustard or ketchup. Wow...what a signature! The splitting open of the dog just lets whatever juices there were in these puppies at one time flow out to the cosmos. It's as bad as when a grill jockey takes a perfectly good hamburger that is charring away and leans on the spatula 10 times, squeezing all the juice out of it. The wait for this absolute joke of a hot dog can be interminable. Here's the flat truth: EVERY hot dog place I've ever been to is Walter's superior. From the fancy "Umbrella Room" on every corner in Manhattan to the best Katz's has to offer. But forget that. I can take a kosher hot dog or a Nathan's out of the freezer, wrap it in a paper towel and nuke it for 1:38, which is where I like it on my lousy nuke, and it will be so FAR better than what I had at Walter's it's not funny...oh, and I have stuff to put ON it if I want to. Sheesh...I've never seen branding without substance in greater display in my life. The skinny is that Walter's finds itself in a landmark building--a pagoda-shaped, copper clad structure that looks as if it belongs in the Forbidden City or at the Citadel in Hue, Vietnam. The building is the star. The food and service should be in the Forbidden City or at least just forbidden.
re: RickTheClamBellyFan
Well said and very funny. Two other places that people rave about that are even more overrated than Walter's are Hot Dog Johnny's in N.J. and Flo's in Maine. Believe it or not Walter's is much better than these two. Both very bland. Flo's is a steamed pork based dog with practically no flavor on a steamed New England bun. This type of bun is ok (I prefer a regular hot dog roll) if toasted, but steamed it tastes like white bread. They have a weird (but popular) sauce they put on the dogs that contains mayonaise (yuck) and onions. The dogs at the 7-11 are better than Flo's.
re: The Rogue
Thanks Rogue - Do you think its worth a 1200 mile trip? I'm a transplanted NY'er. Just wondered because I love hot dogs as much as I love "Q" and the place peaked my interest.
In Florida, I have to fend for myself - Nathan's natural casing dogs and Sabrette brown mustard - Fortunately I can get both products at our local supermarkets.
Hi Chuck! I agree with John and the Rogue on this one. Funny, most people rave about Walter's. I was just on another forum and everyone spoke well of Walter's. I went last fall. The dogs are specially made for Walter's by Boar's Head, but they are a blend of 1/3 beef, 1/3 pork, and 1/3 veal. Very bland. Good mustard though. The way to have them is well done. A decent snack, but the dogs themselves are very ordinary. By the way, pick up (or read online) Sunday's New York Times (Jersey section). There will be an article on some nut from N.J. and his passion for hot dogs. Word has it that Chowhound may be mentioned.
re: John Fox
John - that's great news and you deserve it - There is nobody who knows more about dogs that you! Boy, I had some battle on the Chicago website a few weeks ago. Those Chitown Hounds so sooooo sensitive and trying to defend that salad dog gets them very, very angry. I baited them and boy they let me have it!
I called out for you, but alas you were no place to be found. Perhaps you were on the set of some new movie about hot dogs?
You know, just looking at Walter's dog on FoodTV...it sure didn't look like a Nathan's natural casing dog or anything made by Marathon. Doesn't mean its not good, but it looked very different. I did not read the other post yet.
But, veal, pork and beef is a nice combination. Very mild indeed, but with a great brown mustard and a good roll, I'm sure its good. You know in France, they use a real crusty french roll with their hot dogs and their famous mustard - they are great.
There is a pork store in Ridgefield, NJ called Kosars and that's what they use to make - Beef and pork and veal. The place was incredible - they made everything from scratch. I have no idea if it is still there - you could eat of their floor. A true German pork store. their hot dogs tasted very much like bologna.
Congrats. I am looking forward to reading the article.
re: John Fox
Cool Beans... couldn't have happened to a hotter dog... lookin' forward to the read.
My husband took me to Walter's raving about it. We waited on a much too long line and finally when we received our hotdogs, it was nothing special. The dirty water dogs in Manhattan are better. Maybe it was the attitude of the individuals on line and the ones working on the griddle. But I wasn't impressed.
re: wincountrygirl
http://www.waltershotdogs.com/ Google is your friend.
This thread is 6 years old by the way
re: roro1831
And Walter's is in many threads on CH:
re: roro1831
Yeah, I hear ya but so what? Hot dogs are still hot dogs and are still a hot topic on here. I figure someone will read it and respond. In fact...you did.
re: BlueSoup
have to agree,i managed to photograph cooks before they tore it down, although it was converted long before. when i was young cooks was THE place. i even liked their mustard before any other and tried to find out where it was from.
re: BlueSoup
Oh, yeah! BlueSoup...I'm glad someone other than me remembers Cook's. SOOOOOO far superior to everything else of its ilk. Shame it's gone, 'eh?
I grew up a 12 minute drive from Walters. 20 years ago, i never understood Walters, about 5 or 6 years ago, i went back. The line was still snaked down the street, waited 20 minutes for another weak bland dog. The best thing at Walters is the homemade mustard. Not worth your time.
I disagree with all of you. I don't care if I'm the only one in 6 years that likes Walters, but I do! They were my first experience with split hot dogs and I cherish them for that. True, they aren't spiced up, but I don't want a kielbasa, I want a hot dog. If I am passing through, I would definitely check them out. and get their special mustard!
i live nearby and go a couple ot times a year. they may be relatively bland skinless dogs but when you take them to your car in view of the pagoda and eat them immediately right out of the sack (very hot) the total experience is very satisfying.
re: dhammer53
Ummm....I really strongly dislike when a person speaks for every single person who visits a restaurant......and talks like they know why they are there.......I do not not go to Walters for "old times sake" I go because I LOVE the hotdogs. They are unique and I have never tasted a dog like them. I love the way they are cooked and the way that there are light and do not leave you with that heavy "hot dog taste" that many other hot dogs leave you with. So before you assume that all the people that you see at Walters's are not really there for the food; try asking the people who you see eating there. I try not to make it a habit to eat at places because, "Gee, this building sure is old! And the food was good in the 70's! Cool!"
