What a stroke of luck it was to have an Aussie artist parachute into town to save us from our own ignorance.
You might have seen Konstantin Dimopoulos, or some of his minions, flitting around town, staining perfectly healthy trees a vivid tarp-blue color. The project, at Westlake Park and along the Burke-Gilman Trail, is part of an international "art installation" cleverly entitled The Blue Trees.
The blue hue is the artist's subtle attempt to draw attention to trees, which he himself has concluded people take for granted, despite their vital role as "the lungs of the world."
The blue stain, made from the stone azurite, is expected to gradually wash away.
As soon as it does, Mr. Wrap will be applying for his own 1-percent-for-the-arts grant, financed by an additional 30 grand in public funds, for a follow-up art project, The Brown and Green Trees.
It's designed to make the even-more-profound point that the best way to honor our trees is to leave them the hell alone.
Other high art:
The Week's All-You-Need-To-Know-In-a-Headline Award Winner: "Gingrich think tank declares bankruptcy."
Is It Too Late to Resurrect the Suspenders? CNN talk-show gasbag Piers Morgan is leading the former news network into depths of irrelevance perhaps reachable only by James Cameron's submarine. Actual recent shows: Mike Tyson and Steven Seagal commenting on the Trayvon Martin case. Possible upcoming topics: Meat Loaf on quantum physics; Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn on effective civic leadership.
Mirror, Mirror: In a stunning development, a mug shot issued by California penal authorities revealed that convicted lunatic murderer Charles Manson, 77, looks surprisingly like a lunatic murderer who's been rotting away in prison for more than four decades.
Gee, Never Thought We'd Live to See the Day: When the words "hostile work environment" and "State Sen. Pam Roach" would appear in the same sentence.
Major Scare Averted: Saw a news ticker headline reference to "5 million tons of debris" crawl across the screen the other day. Fortunately, we later learned it referred to drifting flotsam from the Japan tsunami and not, as originally feared, Mr. Wrap's email inbox.
Speaking of Which: Can you imagine the giddiness on the deck of that U.S. Coast Guard cutter up in the North Pacific when the order came to sink that derelict fishing trawler — and the crew actually got to fire the big guns at something?
Important Travel Update: Allegiant Airlines (motto: "Our Planes are not Old, They're Deeply Experienced") will soon begin charging $35 for carry-on hair.
Just for the Record: Allegiant's response to criticism over its petty nickel-and-diming — that its overall fares remain as much as 50 percent lower than competitors — would be a sound argument if it was true. Which it isn't, at least where the airline competes head-to-head locally with Alaska.
And Finally: Bill White, the 62-year-old father and co-conspirator in the Twisp family accused in a slew of poaching crimes, including the slaughter of much of the state's first fledgling wolf pack in the Methow Valley, struck a plea deal which, unbelievably, includes zero jail time. Federal "prosecutors" in Spokane, take note: Treatments are available these days for low-testosterone syndrome. Get help.

A Diamond in the Canadian Oil-Sands Rough Poised for Growth
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Imperial Oil (IMO - Get Report), Canada's second-biggest oil company and the country's largest refiner, appears ripe for investment.
The company's shares have been under pressure because of a lack of production growth and cost overuns on a key project. The company, however, can considerably increase its output in the near future, a potential boon for its shares.
The stock has fallen 0.9% this year, and closed at $43.85 on Wednesday. It is priced at 10 times Imperial's current year's earnings estimate, which is cheaper than its parent company, Exxon Mobil (XOM), which trades at 12.5 times this year's earnings estimate. Exxon owns 70% of Imperial.
Imperial Oil has three segments -- exploration and production, refining and chemicals. It focuses on the production of unconventional oil from oil sands and has 3.6 billion barrels of proved reserves, of which 58% are developed.
The company is developing the Kearl oil-sands project in Alberta, which will boost Imperial's production levels greatly when it is completed. In the fourth quarter, Imperial Oil's production from Kearl was 52,000 barrels per day, considerably below its capacity of 110,000 barrels per day. Investors were expecting better numbers. What's more, the Kearl project now has an estimated price tag of almost $12 billion, compared with earlier estimates of less than $8 billion. The slow start-up and the costs -- combined with broader oil-supply issues in Canada and the environmental concerns related to the development of unconventional oil -- have weighed on Imperial's shares. They have lagged shares of other Canadian energy companies, such as Suncor Energy (SU) and Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ). But the lower-than-expected production from Kearl was largely the result of one-time events such as equipment issues and severe weather conditions. Imperial Oil did briefly touch production levels of 100,000 barrels per day and is working to stabilize its output at that level. Imperial Oil says the project is 72% complete and is set for full-scale production by 2015. With that, Imperial Oil will add another 110,000 barrels per day to the project's capacity. Imperial Oil will get 71% of the output, while the rest will go to Exxon Mobil. Furthermore, the company can expand the project's production capacity to 345,000 barrels per day by 2020. If that happens, then Imperial Oil could get more than 245,000 barrels per day from the project due to its 71% stake. That is significant for Imperial Oil, which reported total production of 261,000 barrels per day for 2013. Imperial Oil is also working on the Cold Lake Nabiye project, another oil-sands project in Alberta. That could start up by as early as the end of this year. Nabiye will boost Imperial's production by 40,000 barrels per day. The projects in Alberta can power the company's production growth for the next several years as their reserve life is up to 40 years. Imperial Oil's dividend yield is 1%, which is below the industry's average of 2% according to Thomson Reuters. The company has been pouring its operational cash flow into the two Alberta projects. The company's priority has been expansion, but with the two projects nearing completion, Imperial Oil could start to return more cash to shareholders. The projects should also boost revenue and earnings. At the time of publication, the author had no position in any of the stocks mentioned.

University of Maine Cooperative Extension has launched a new website designed for beginning farmers.
The Beginning Farmer Resource Network, as it is called, is a collaborate online effort among several agricultural service providers, according to a news release.
Viewers are encouraged to send questions, which will be answered on the website.
Initial topics will range from taxes, financing and U.S. Department of Agriculture programs to finding land and balancing farm and family life.
Coordinator Tori Jackson, a UMaine Extension professor of agriculture and natural resources, says there was no real one-stop shopping informational portal for new farmers.

I have three hummingbird feeders hanging in my back yard. We have sometimes more than 20 hummers feeding at same time. All perched together like a happy family. The other day they seemed to disapear. And the reason is a dominate male has decided that all of the feeders belong to him. He stands guard and will not let any others feed. This has gone on for the last four days. My question is how do I get rid of him. I am trying something today. I am taking all the feeders away for two or three days to see if he will leave. Anyone have any comments?

Yes, take all the junk food feeders away, and plant flowers, their natural food. :) |
- Posted by vickilovesboxers 7 (My Page) on Thu, Sep 17, 09 at 7:09
Bill I have found in a case like that to put up several feeders all over the yard out of view of each other. I keep at least 7 feeders up on my acre plus--and in as many different places as I can find. That has really helped here. I hate to take away feeders at this time here in DE, as migration is on and they really relish the extra help. |
Try adding extra sugar to the mixture in one of the feeders--the one the "mean" hummer seems to prefer the most & see if he will just guard "his" feeder. Also moving some of the feeders out of sight of this "special" feeder should help. |

Ice sheets falling from the roof in Dallas, Texas
Ice Dam Problems
Snow and Ice Problems
Check out this video that shows what can happen with dangerous snow and ice build up.
The metal roof on this apartment building is doing exactly as it was designed to do; shed snow pack. The problem is that a snow retention system is not in place on the roof edge to prevent the issue of falling snow injuring people or damaging property. Once a snow retention system is properly sourced and installed, the risk of falling snow pack and/or ice is eliminated. Most commercial buildings want to avoid all the potential liabilities and legal processes surrounding this issue. The good news is that here is a easy and effective solution to this problem. Once source for snow retention and roof ice maintenance systems is HotEdge, Inc. based in Colorado. HotEdge, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of roof ice maintenance systems world-wide.

This Week in Poetic History

Here are three world-altering events from three years in poetic history…
"The Raven" Is Born
On this day in 1845, Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven," one of the best-known poems in the English language, was first published. But it was no easy feat getting it into print. Poe first submitted the poem his friend and owner of Graham's Magazine George Rex Graham, who declined. He did, however, give Poe $15 out of what could best be described as pity. The poem was eventually bought by The American Review, for $9. Still, Poe was not yet to become the household name he would shortly be; the magazine printed it under the pseudonym "Quarles."
It was in the Evening Mirror that the poem first appeared with Poe's name beneath it. Thanks to this publication, Edgar Allen Poe and his "Raven" achieved Read the rest of this entry »

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us — don't tell!
They'd banish — you know!How dreary to be somebody!
How public like a frog
To tell one's name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
"Sonnet 49″ by Pablo Neruda
The best loved love poet as sung by jazz artist Luciana Souza.
It's today: all of yesterday dropped away
among the fingers of the light and the sleeping eyes.
Tomorrow will come on its green footsteps;
no one can stop the river of the dawn.No one can stop the river of your hands,
your eyes and their sleepiness, my dearest.
You are the trembling of time, which passes
between the vertical light and the darkening sky.

[1811] Histologic Classification of Thymic Epithelial Tumors Differs from Classification by Grade and Stage: A Study of 138 Surgically Resected Thymomas and Thymic Carcinomas.
William D Travis, James Huang, Nicolas Girard, David S Klimstra, Gregory J Riely. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY
Background: Histologic classification of thymic epithelial tumors (TET) has evolved over the past few decades with much controversy and different concepts. The 2004 WHO provides a histologic classification of thymic epithelial tumors that is based primarily upon morphology. These tumors can also be classified according to histologic grade and stage that correspond to different degrees of clinical aggressiveness. These different approaches are frequently confused.
Design: With the purpose of comparing histologic classification of TET with grade and stage, 138 surgical resected TED were classified by the 2004 WHO classification. Tumors were staged according to the Masaoka system and survival analysis was used to consider tumor groups according to grade.
Results: Thymoma were classified as type A (12), AB (19), B1 (8), B2 (48), B3 (26), micronodular (1), and metaplastic (1). There were 23 thymic carcinomas. Tumors were grouped into three grades (GR): GR1 (A, AB, B1, micronodular, metaplastic; n=41; 25F, 16M; age: mean 61 yrs, 23-87 yrs), GR2 (B2 & B3; n=74; 37F, 37F; age: mean 55 yrs, 31-84 yrs) and GR3 (carcinoma; n=23, 8F, 15M; age: mean 58 yrs, 34-83 yrs). A higher percentage of patients with GR3 were Masaoka stage III or IV (17/23; 74%) compared to GR2 (44/74, 60%) and GR1 (5/39, 13%, p<0.001). 5 yr disease free survival (DFS) by Kaplan-Meier analysis with Tarone Ware comparisons was significantly reduced for GR2: 69% and GR3:36% compared to GR1: (77%, p<0.001). DFS was significantly worse for GR2 compared to GR1 (p=0.02) and G3 compared to GR2 (p=0.003). For Stage, in GR1 there were 36/41 Stage I/II (88%) and 5 Stage III/IV; GR2 there were 30/74 Stage I/II (41%) and 44 Stage III/IV (59%); GR3 there were 6/23 Stage I/II and 17 Stage III/IV. For all TET, survival according to stage was significant (p<0.001).
Conclusions: The 2004 WHO TET categories from type A to AB, B1, B2, B3 and thymic carcinoma represent increasing histologic grades with varying degrees of more aggressive behavior as measured by stage and prognosis. While there are tumors that may have similar grade, (i.e. the low grade type A, AB and B1 thymoma which are often low stage), the 2004 WHO categories have morphologic differences that remain the basis for maintaining a histologic classification separate from grading and staging.

Three lion cubs born at the Cincinnati Zoo have been referred to as "1, 2 and 3" since their birth last November. But now they have proper names.
The cub formerly known as 1 is now Huruma, which means compassion in in Swahili. Cincinnati Zoo keepers picked that name to honor a colleague from the St. Louis Zoo who recently died. Becky Wanner helped raise the cubs' mother, Imani. Huruma is also being referred to as Uma.

I'm a sucker for counter intuitive statistics. It's probably why I love economics. Anyway, we've all heard that America's obesity problem is contributing to rising annual health care costs. What about lifetime health care costs? Jacob Sullum at Hit & Run helps answer this question.
Far be it from me to deny the undeniable, but the fact that obese people have higher annual health care costs does not mean they have higher lifetime costs. It therefore does not follow that reducing obesity would reduce total medical spending in the long run. In fact, a study published last year in PLoS Medicine reached the opposite conclusion: Because obese people tend to die sooner than thin people do, the researchers found, eliminating obesity would increase spending on health care. "Although effective obesity prevention leads to a decrease in costs of obesity-related diseases," the authors wrote, "this decrease is offset by cost increases due to diseases unrelated to obesity in life-years gained. Obesity prevention may be an important and cost-effective way of improving public health, but it is not a cure for increasing health expenditures" (emphasis added).
I have never thought about the issue like this, but it makes perfect sense. Reducing obesity is an important issue, but it's not going to help with health care costs. If we're really committed to reducing obesity we should tax food that's fattening. I have no problem increasing taxes on goods that harm the public.

Utilising animal imagery in his Wildlifes series, and superheroics in his Wildlives project, Sage Vaughn handles them with considerable sensitivity and intelligence, the less-than-straightforward co-existence of nature and technology is portrayed in the most subtle of ways. A seemingly simple picture of a bird perching on a branch, as a helicopter approaches, instantly bathes the viewer in all the mixed feelings one should have at seeing such a scene – but rarely stops to consider. In Wildlives, children in jury-rigged costumes and battle armour prepare for action, and a young worker, a frustrated shop clerk perhaps, dons a cape.
This all comes from a moustachioed gun nut who thinks of art as a privilege, not a gift ... approaching his studio at 9am and leaving at 6am, unless he's preparing for an exhibition, when he never leaves. "He is the only artist with a blue-collar mentality" said Malibu magazine. And they should know.

The Old 97's at Lounge Ax
October 27th, 2009Filed under: Collections
In the summer of 1996, I was studying architecture at the University of Texas at Austin. Late one night, another student put on a bootleg cassette tape of extraordinary music. The band was the Old 97's, from Dallas, and the first song I heard was "The Other Shoe" a mid-tempo country song about betrayal and murder. Suddenly, I found my musical foundations crumbling beneath me.
You see, a few years earlier I'd been living in Chicago enjoying the healthy rock scene. Local and national touring acts like the Mekons, Poster Children, Vulgar Boatmen, The Silos, Nirvana, Tad, Lyres, The Service, Eleventh Dream Day, and Green rotated through the local clubs: Lounge Ax, Metro, Batteries Not Included, Thurston's, and the Avalon. I was aware of bands in Chicago and other American cities that were experimenting with country music, but I'd been raised in rural Illinois and had my fill of country music by the time I was 10. It was everywhere, all the time. From Johnny Cash to Marshall Tucker to the Outlaws, I rejected them all and my home town as soon as I got out of high school. But the Old 97's changed all that.
When Chicago pals came to Austin's annual South by Southwest music conference that summer, I raved about the Old 97's and soon found out that they were old news. Chicago's own Bloodshot Records were on top of the emerging alt-country music scene and Chicago's live music lovers were already supporting a great collection of new bands including the Bottlerockets, Freakwater, and Whiskeytown. And I found myself listening to country music again, this time by choice.
Check out the Old 97's at Lounge Ax c. 1995.
As I mentioned in a previous post, the museum wants to document the history of Lounge Ax. If you have objects or images to donate to the museum please fill out our artifact donation form.

Excellent! Another great new area on THS for sharing info. Let me add my voice to Jessy's, and say THANK YOU, SPIKE, for making this happen! This Forum section should make it much easier to explain, i.e. *illustrate*, a number of the issues that arise when designing and/or installing a laundry center... and will also be a much simpler solution for posting general photos than trying to edit and stuff everything into the FAQ. (Per my email discussions with a number of other Forum members, work on the FAQ sections is in fact still active, I just haven't had much time over the past year for Forum postings. Copies of all interesting threads and photos continue to be saved to my hard drive though, so one day the FAQs will again begin to grow, with all this great info!) Anyway, to get this thread (and new Forum section!) started, here's an image I took awhile back, of the plumbing connections in my laundry closet. I have two Euro-size FL washers, an AEG 88840 and an Equator EZ3600CEE, and both share a single set of standard water hookups. Note the homebrew brass Y-splitter, which provides cold water to both washing machines - the Equator 3600 is fed via the standard black hose, while the AEG 88840 is fed through the flood-protection gray hose (the small device on the end of the AEG hose senses any leaks, and cuts off the water automatically in case of trouble). The AEG 88840 is a cold-fill-only machine, so there's only one connection to the hot water supply, for the Equator 3600. A question that has been raised several times in these Forum discussions: can two washers share a single standpipe drain? Well, at least in this particular case, the answer is yes! Both the AEG 88840 and Equator 3600 use small "Euro" drain hoses, with a 1" outer diameter, and these will fit together (snugly) in my laundry closet's 2" standpipe drain. Most importantly, both washers pump out slowly enough to permit simultaneous drainage (not wanting a flood, I have of course tested this extensively, to be sure!). So, while this configuration wouldn't work with every type of washer (especially big TLers having high drain flow rates), it's been quite effective with my AEG and Equator. The surge protector feeding the Equator is a Sutton SX-5000. I also have 240V surge protectors for my AEG set, not visible in this image. The back of the washing machine in this photo is the Equator 3600. The AEG 88840 is to the left, out of the image frame, indicated by the slope of the upper/left drain hose. Time permitting, I'll be posting many more images of my laundry setup in the days and weeks ahead. In closing, let me also give a special thanks to Louis, and the others in the early Appliances Forum threads several years back, for posting suggestions and ideas and photos of a multiple-washer laundry closet. I, too, can now officially testify that "parallel processing" rules! :) --Tom. |

Here's a pic of my AEG fill hose... You can see the AquaStop device on the end which automatically shuts off water at the pipe if it senses a leak within the water pipes. Jon BTW Tom - is there any chance of pics of all your laundry machines, and your laundry room? |

Hi Jon! Yes, I definitely plan to post more pictures in the not-too-distant future... I've just been swamped with other projects recently (among other things, I may be moving in the next month or two, and have been doing a ton of cleaning and re-organizing here...), so that was the only image I had conveniently available. If nothing else, it should help to answer the question about multiple washers in a single laundry area... :) I should mention though that I don't actually have a laundry *room*, but rather a long and narrow laundry *closet*... it's wide enough to comfortably hold two machines (or stacks!) side-by-side, and perhaps eventually even three if I stay here and continue to expand, but it's definitely not a walk-in design. My 57700 condenser dryer is presently located on a sheet of fibre board in the hallway, opposite the 88840 washer, draining around the corner into the kitchen sink (actually a reasonably ergonomic setup...). Btw, your link above seems to be denying me access to the image... am I doing something wrong, or is there an error in the URL? --Tom. P.S. Thanks again for your emails and your posts in the other threads... I'll try to redouble my efforts to get caught up on such personal correspondence! |
Hi Tom, Where are those pictures.... |

Hi AppleMac, Thanks for asking! I had hoped to have the time to finish getting everything organized and take a full series of photos, but unfortunately the logistics of moving have caught up with me. As I mentioned above (and have discussed via email with several Forum members), I'm now in the process of moving to a new residence, and my existing laundry closet is already starting to get packed up, so I'm afraid new photos will have to wait for awhile... I haven't yet reached a final decision as to exactly *where* I'll be moving (the housing market in SoCal these days is verging on insanity, LOL, but at least all the development gives one lots of choices), but I'm hoping to have enough room in the new place to set up at *least* two washers, perhaps even three! For now, if I have a little free time, I'll try to post and link a series of photos I took recently, documenting the repairs I performed on my AEG 57700 condenser dryer. Hopefully enough other people continue posting to this new THS section to keep it open... I haven't seen any activity here for over a week now. Anyone else care to post images and comments, while I'm busy lugging boxes and appliances around? :) Jon, Btw, the link you posted to that AquaStop photo still gives me an "access denied" message... is there some setting you need to change on your image host? --Tom. |

With a non-continuous history that dates back to before the Civil War, the Mercer County Fair has solidified itself as part of the fabric of Ohio's legacy. As it did more than 160 years ago, the event showcases and rewards entrants for what judges deem the best agricultural products and techniques, with awards going out to everything from the best steer to the finest homemade pickles to whichever beefsteak tomato looks best in a bathing suit. But the fun extends far past what's going on in the grandstand. As both kids and adults visit animals and learn about farming, others participate in a slew of activities that have ranged from dachshund races to amusement-park rides and ATV demonstrations. And, in 2014, the fair will also count country artist Rodney Atkins as well as the Swon Brothers from NBC's The Voice amongst its live musical acts.
The Wapakoneta Firecracker 5K unites racers in the name of healthy habits and a healthy community. Hosted by the Friends of the Wapakoneta Public Library organization, the annual race sends participants galloping around Wapakoneta in an effort to promote fitness and well-being among all community members. The 5K's proceeds have an impact long after the last racer has crossed the finish line, as they get funneled into such efforts as summer reading programs, outreach programs, and youth events.
Called "a jewel in this community" by the Lima News, the Lima Symphony Orchestra has been consistently performing inspiring classical performances since 1953. In "From Russia with Love," the symphony's talented soundsmiths will recreate Tchaikovsky's Pathetique and Sergei Prokofiev's Violin Concerto no. 1, anchored by the solo stylings of acclaimed Bulgarian violinist Alexandrina Boyanova. "The Power of Percussion" will kinetically present a collection of classic choral music, as well as up-and-coming percussion soloist Lisa Pegher, who can rhythmically tap on everything from the drums to Danny DeVito's head. To reserve seats, concertgoers can call or stop by the box office with their Groupons Monday–Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Check out the seating chart here. All seats are open to all ticket buyers on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations are required.
When NASCAR drivers really want to have some fun?and often get back to their racing roots?they?get dirty. The adrenaline junkies power up racing machines and race around dirt tracks at speeds of more than 100 mph, sliding around the dirt corners and getting dirtier than a politician in a food fight.
Kenny Wallace Dirt Racing Experience lets speed-fiends?hop in the same type of Dirt Late Model or Sprint Cars the professionals drive and take off around dirt tracks across the country. They can ride in the passenger seat while an experienced driver careens around corners or take over the wheel after a 45-minute class. No racing experience is required, and family and friends are welcome to watch the race experiences.
Wear white, and be prepared for that shirt to never look the same. That's just about the only rule of the Color Blaze 5K, a technicolor event that's a little different than the standard run. For one, contestants don't have to run at all—in fact, they can mosey, lollygag, skip, crawl, jog, and backflip their way along the course. Rather than determining the best time, the non-competitive race is about the experience itself. At each successive mile, Blaze Zones powder participants in biodegradable—and even edible—colors, creating an army of fleet-footed Jackson Pollocks. Proceeds from the event benefit local charities, and an afterparty welcomes the newly prismatic to dance the day away in their freshly illustrated get-ups.

Then Furlong began beating Robson. Tryon remembers sitting at her father's kitchen table, trying to persuade Linda to leave the relationship. Linda was emotional at first, but then pulled back and implied that the violence was no big deal. "She was strong," says Tryon. "She had to be strong, to act like pain doesn't hurt."
Karol Abeyta says that Linda and JR sometimes came to her for shelter in the middle of the night. And when Abeyta babysat the boy, he'd wake up screaming, sure that something terrible was about to happen to his mother.
Robson and her son "were always together," says Tryon. "Always hugging. He had quite a temper, kind of a wild little guy. But she was patient with him, and he was in counseling."
Then Jacques noticed a sign advertising a $99 move-in special at the Hitch-N-Post apartments (now the Abilene Apartments) across the street from the Star-Lite. She told Robson, who was delighted. The sign meant freedom. It meant she could afford to move away from Furlong.
But even after she'd moved out, the couple didn't separate completely. Linda called her aunt the night before Christmas 1986, drunk and crying, talking about Furlong's violence toward her. "I said, 'Get away from the guy,'" says Burley. "'Why do you stay there?'"
On December 27, 1986, a Saturday night, Robson was tending bar. She wore tan corduroy overalls, says Jacques, with "gaudy gold zippers and a dainty blue-and-white flowered blouse." Jacques pauses and chuckles. "That girl," she says. "You could not allow her to dress herself."
Jacques, who stopped in at the Star-Lite around 10:30 p.m., remembers hearing Robson on the phone to then-owner Charlie Bow. She told him she had something important to discuss with him.
Later that night, Furlong showed up. At 3 a.m., after the bar had closed, he drove Robson across the asphalt parking lots to her apartment. That was the last time any of her friends saw Linda Robson.
As the women describe what happened next, their voices sometimes break with emotion.
On Sunday morning, Billy Bob Northern went to Robson's apartment to take her to their regular brunch. There was no one there. That afternoon, it was Patty Jacques's turn to tend bar. She expected Robson to drop in, as she almost always did when Jacques was working; Jacques was a little hurt when her friend didn't appear. Then Monday came, and Robson didn't show up at the Star-Lite for her own shift. So Jacques and Northern went back to Robson's apartment.
The door was not only open but ajar, says Jacques. (The buildings were so run-down that Robson locked her door even when she was just carrying out the trash, Tryon explains.) Inside, Jacques saw a sweatshirt she shared with Robson hanging over the back of the couch. Robson had had it at the Star-Lite Saturday night. "So we knew she'd been back to the apartment," Jacques said.
The place was pristine. Although Robson was a tidy housekeeper, when Jacques had been in the apartment shortly before Robson's Saturday shift, "the place was a disaster," she says. "We had been putting her waterbed together. There was stuff spread out everywhere. Yet it was immaculate Monday. She disappeared Saturday night. So who cleaned that apartment?"
Robson was a chain-smoker, but there wasn't a cigarette butt in the place. The ashtrays were all clean, stacked by the side of the sink. "There wasn't even one in the bathroom," says Jacques, "and she always smoked when she put on her makeup."
Robson's bathrobe lay neatly across her bed, adds Jacques, "with the arms out like it was waiting for her."
When Jacques and Northern reported what they'd seen to the Star-Lite's owner, Charlie Bow called the police that Monday afternoon. The women are unanimous in their fury at the police response to Bow's anxious call. Then-Fountain police chief R.A. Ritchie simply filed a missing-persons report. He did not have the apartment searched, claiming that Robson's friends would have contaminated any evidence that might have been there--even though Jacques swears she and Northern disturbed nothing. Nor did his men comb through the trash cans outside.
They did question Michael Furlong, who said he'd dropped Linda off early Sunday morning, watched her get safely inside and then left. (Six months later, Furlong was quoted in the Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph as saying he last saw Robson the day before her final shift.) Furlong was given a lie detector test. Although the results were inconclusive, Ritchie said they showed Furlong was "not really fibbin' about it."
"When it gets right down to the basics," Ritchie told the Rocky Mountain News at the time, "what we have is a young lady who is a barmaid, who has a tendency to imbibe a little too much, has several boyfriends and is a...well, a free spirit."
Nonetheless, he contended that his men were thoroughly investigating the case and had called Robson's friends and family in California and Oregon. One of Ritchie's men told Jacques that Robson was probably lying drunk in a ditch somewhere. Another suggested she had run off to California with a truck driver.

The Chesterfield Historical Society of Virginia is a step closer to reaching its goal of creating a first class interpretive park at Historic Point of Rocks. After leading the effort to preserve the site, the Chesterfield Historical Society of Virginia is continuing to seek funds to get the park open to the public. That effort was aided last week by a $5,000 donation from the Chester Station Camp, Sons of Confederate Veterans. This donation will help begin restoration of the Strachan House.
Built in 1841, the house is a distinctive example of the American Greek Revival style of architecture. During the Civil War, the house was used as the quarters for the Union surgeons at Point of Rocks Hospital. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. There is an immediate need for the building to be painted, weatherproofed and have its floors and foundation stabilized. This work is expected to begin in December. The donation will also help with other needed items at the park, such as parking and fencing.
The Chesterfield Historical Society of Virginia is continuing its efforts to raise the funds needed to fully restore the house. It is estimated that a full restoration of the home will cost $500,000. In the short time that the property has been owned by the County, there have been several Eagle Scout projects that have helped to open up trails and observation areas. A grant from the Blue and Gray Education Society is also providing 12 interpretive signs for the park.
Historic Point of Rocks was preserved by a grant from the Land and Water Conservation Fund administered by the National Park Service. "Saving the property was half of the battle," said Scott Williams, Chairman of the Military History Committee for the Historical Society. "We now have to find funding to restore the house and get the site open to the public. This generous donation is much welcomed. The Chester Station Camp, SCV has put in thousands of hours of volunteer work on our historic sites over the years and I can't thank them enough for continuing to support us." The Sons of Confederate Veterans donation, along with an earlier $500 donation by the Knights of Columbus, has gotten the fund raising efforts off to a good start.
When completed, Historic Point of Rocks Park will focus on the massive Union hospital that was constructed on the site. American Red Cross founder, Clara Barton, served there in the early months of the Siege of Petersburg. President Abraham Lincoln also visited the site in the closing days of the war. The park will also highlight other historic events that took place near the site during the Civil War, such as Confederate artillery battling against the Union Navy and the first attacks against Petersburg. There is also an opportunity to interpret the history of Native American and early settlers at the site.
Anyone wishing to learn more about Historic Point of Rocks or wanting to make a donation can contact the Chesterfield Historical Society of Virginia.

Chapter 1
Cheyenne Holt clamped his lips together as he fought the tears that threatened to spill down his cheeks as he smoothed away the stray raven curls framing Ginny Mayweather's pale face.
"I'm so sorry I couldn't save you," he whispered softly.
He gazed down at her prone form and ached to trade his own life for hers. He hated himself for failing to protect her. It was the one thing she'd asked of him. The one request he had not been able to fulfill. Ryan Creed had made sure of that.
Yet he could not help but to admire Ginny's bravado. She'd taken a stance against his nemesis, knowing she risked her life in order to save them.
He buried his face within her hair and began to cry. "Forgive me, Ginny. I wish I'd been there to save you. I wasn't able to get there in time to keep you from getting hurt!"
He yearned to breathe life back into her. Yet he knew it would not be so. She was gone and nothing would ever bring her back. Her fate had been guaranteed the day her mother had whisked her away from Caplan Industries, keeping her hidden so her daughter would not fall into their sordid schemes.
Ginny had been the last of the Aegeres, ancient beings who were meant to heal Gaia's wounds. The loss of her life had been the price for her trying to do as she'd been instructed.
Cheyenne took a deep breath and wrapped his arms around her as he picked her up as gently as possible. Slowly, he walked toward the lake. His tears broke the surface of the water as he lowered her body into its depths. All the while, he said his good-bye's to her.
Images of the night in which they'd met surfaced as he recalled the broad smile playing about her lips as she'd sold him a flower on the corner of Marlene's Square. Her raven tresses had fluttered gently within the slight breeze, her green eyes twinkling with mirth.
Ginny had impacted his life in a way no other woman ever had. She'd left a gaping hole inside of him; one he hoped would heal some day. He'd come to love her, treasuring every moment they'd spent together.
His was a love that would never be reciprocated, but at least he knew the emotion for what it was. He'd given her a small measure of happiness and he prayed she would find her way into the heavens above.
He leaned over her and pressed a kiss upon her cold lips. Several tears spilled down his cheeks as he held her close one last time.
"Good-bye, Ginny," he said as he allowed her body to sink into the water. "I love you."
As her body sank, it soon began to glow. He shielded his eyes momentarily as the luminescence grew stronger. A soft hum reverberated throughout the canyon as she was lifted into the air by an unseen force. He fell back into the water and watched as she began to spin. The light encompassed every inch of her and grew brighter. Thunder roared high above as lightning split the sky.
He spun about, his eyes wide as he searched for the voice's source. "Ginny?"
"Help me!"
"How?" he cried, reaching towards the glowing orb that was now her body.
"Believe in me."
"I always have."
"Love me."
"I do."
"Thank you!"
The phosphorescence encircling his beloved's body swung outward, throwing him against the canyon's wall. Several of his bones cracked as he crumpled into a heap at its base. A delicious warmth seeped into his skin as spots of color danced before his eyes.
"Ginny . . ."
"I'm here," she said.
"Don't leave me . . ."
"I won't."
He reached towards her, his mind unable to process the fact that she was now alive and standing before him. A loving smile played about her lips as she knelt over him, her small hands smoothing back the errant curls of the blond hair framing his face. He stared into her eyes and smiled as he allowed the darkness to claim him.

By Brad Grupe
(Cedar Rapids, IA 07/31/09)—Hawkeye Downs race fans
were treated to ten feature events and over 230 laps of feature racing
Friday night July 31 as KHAK-FM presented the "2nd Annual Prelude to
the Dirt."
Due to the rain-shortened program on July 24, Sunline
Hornets, Barron Motor Supply IMCA Hobby Stocks, Budweiser Sportsmen, and Miller
Lite Late Models ran make-up features. A full July 31 Papa Johns/I-Wireless
Championship Cup program was also run for those divisions plus the Barron Motor
Supply IMCA Stocks.
And, a special "Prelude to the Dirt" race pitting "A" Mods vs. "B" Mods
against each other on the quarter-mile was also on the card with thirteen cars
participating ranging from Hawkeye Downs Modifieds, to dirt modifieds,
to IMCA Sportmods.
Twenty-five cars answered the call for the 20-lap
Sunline Hornets make-up feature with Brad Burhite
leading the early going. Bryce Bailey took command near the halfway mark and
maintained the point until Nathan Chandler powered around Bailey with just two
laps remaining. Bailey maintained his hold on second and was
followed across the stripe by Brad Chandler, Brad Burhite,
and Chuck Hanson. The win was the second of the season for Chandler.
Jeff Franks took top honors in the 15-lap Barron Motor
Supply IMCA Hobby Stock make-up event. After a trio of early cautions,
including one for point leader Nathan Ballard, the field settled in for the last half
of the race with Franks, who started in
the third row, in control. Scott Siems took the checkers in second with Roland Bohnsack,
Duayne Herb, and Ballard filling out the top of the order.
Andy Duggan scored his third victory of the season in
an 18-lap Sportsmen make-up race. Duggan started in row two, took the point
from Brad Daugherty on lap eight and cruised to the win, posting a winning
margin of .651 seconds over point leader Dave McCalla. Daugherty finished third
followed by Kevin Lee and Doug Simon.
The final make-up feature of the evening was the
Miller Lite Late Models. Brad Osborn started on the
pole for the scheduled 40-lap feature and led the first ten laps or so
before Johnny Spaw took control. Spaw,
who started in row three, pulled away from the pack and kept command after a couple restarts,
including one with just three laps remaining. Curt Van Der
Wal finished second, .868 seconds behind Spaw with point leader Joey Gase finishing third. Logan
Hale ran an impressive race finishing fourth while Justin Jennings was fifth.
Larry Clausen started on the point of the 25-lap
"A" vs. "B" Modified feature and led early before Tony
Olson grabbed the lead and never looked back in the caution free event.
Clausen, who is the point leader in regular Hawkeye Downs Modified racing, maintained second
as the laps ticked off the board with Scott Kositzky
crossing the stripe in third. Kositzky is the IMCA SportMod point leader at Hawkeye Downs.
Chad Siems appeared to have things well in hand in the
20-lap IMCA Stock Car feature with just a few laps remaining but point leader
Kurt Bohnsack had other ideas. Bohnsack took to the high side of the track and
went from fourth to first over the final five laps. Bohnsack made the winning
pass coming out of turn three on the final lap, finishing just .172 seconds
ahead of Siems. Bob Ahrendsen was third with Cory Houdek and Greg Hentrich
finishing fourth and fifth, respectively.
The Sunline Hornets jammed the Hawkeye Downs
quarter-mile once again with a twenty-four car field taking the green flag.
Thanks to the luck of the draw, point leader Shane Hanson started on the pole
and was never challenged throughout his run to the checkers. The race was
slowed four times for cautions but each time Hanson was able to pull away while
others battled for position behind. Nathan Chandler, who started dead last,
motored through the pack and finished second with Brad Burhite
crossing the stripe in third. Brad Chandler and Jim Hanson filled out the top
five. The feature win was the second of the season for Shane Hanson.
In Barron Motor Supply IMCA Hobby Stocks, Jeff Franks
put a rubber stamp on his earlier win by visiting Coca-Cola Victory Lane for
the second time of the evening. Scott Siems finished second
again in this feature with Duayne Herb, Nathan Ballard, and Shaun Myers next in
line. The win was the third of the season for Franks.
Dave McCalla and Andy Duggan battled side-by side for
the lead nearly all of the
18 lap Budweiser Sportsmen feature. The two who were tied for the
points lead after the make-up feature, swapped the lead back and forth during
the race which did allow the third place car of Kevin Lee to catch up in the
final laps. It was a near dead-heat as the three crossed the stripe for the
final time but McCalla had the edge and collected his fourth win of the
season. Duggan was second with Lee
third. Doug Simon and Brad Daugherty rounded out the top of the order.
The final feature of the night was a 40-lap Miller Lite Late Model race. Multiple cautions slowed the race
including one on the first lap that sent the field scrambling for cover. Curt VanDerWal led in the early going but never could build much
of a lead as the yellow flag kept slowing the action. Johnny Spaw took the lead on a lap 18 restart and was never
challenged as he collected his second win of the evening and fourth of the
Van Der Wal
crossed under the flagstand in second followed by
Brad Dvorak. Point leader Joey Gase finished fourth and Thor Anderson rallied
for fifth.

Our Nation Mourns the Loss of a Shining Star in Nellie Gray
American Life League | August 15, 2012
American Life League Joins the Nation in Mourning the Passing of Nellie Gray, Founder of the March for Life, and Respected Leader in the Pro-life Movement
Washington, DC – It is with profound sadness that Judie Brown, president of American Life League, issued the following statement:
Nellie Gray, founder of the March for Life, was a shining light in my life from the first moment I heard her speak at the 1976 March for Life. Â The subjects of her talk were human personhood and her hero at the time, Senator Jesse Helms, who led the fight for a personhood amendment to the Constitution from 1975 until his departure from the Senate. Â Nellie never wavered from principle and set a standard for every one of us in pro-life leadership. Â We will miss her, but we thank her for showing us the way to true, meaningful victory for every human being, born and preborn.
