PROVIDENCE — By the time the 4 p.m. candidate declaration deadline arrived on Wednesday, the once promising "newcomer" who took out a titan had called it quits, an old-timer whose political résumé stretches back to the LBJ White House was back in the running and Senate President M. Teresa Paiva Weed had a Republican challenger.
"Together we can get Newport/Jamestown and Rhode Island out of the weeds," Paiva Weed's challenger, Mike Smith, the 46-year-old owner of a Newport electric supply store, proclaimed on day one of his campaign to unseat one of the most powerful figures in the Democrat-run General Assembly. (She had no immediate response.)
But it appeared that 16 of Rhode Island's 38 senators and 30 of 75 members of the House would slide to reelection without opposition, including House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello, House Majority Leader John DeSimone and House Whip John Edwards.
Both chambers are overwhelmingly Democrat, and as of 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, only 11 Republicans had surfaced as Senate candidates, including the two competing for the seat that North Kingstown Republican Sen. Dawson Hodgson is giving up to run for attorney general, and the 27 competing for House seats, including the two vying to replace Democrat Larry Valencia of Richmond.
A spokeswoman for the secretary of state's office said it is possible that not all cities and towns have provided the names of all their legislative candidates. If history repeats itself, not all of the potential candidates who threw their names into the ring will be able to collect all the signatures necessary to qualify for the ballot.
But make no mistake about it.
There will be primary contests galore, hard-fought rematches and comeback bids and spirited efforts by the gun lobby — and other high-profile interest groups — to knock out perceived opponents in the legislative arena and secure seats for themselves.
The state GOP is counting on political newcomer Mike Smith to mount a spirited challenge to Paiva Weed.
Right out of the gate, the owner of Industry Electric Supply in Newport, said: "Senator Weed has been in office for 21 years… What do Newport and Jamestown have to show for her leadership? Her talk about jobs and the economy is just that — all talk, no action."
"In the past session, she chose to pay the 38 Studios bonds without empowering an independent prosecutor, raised the gas tax and vehicle costs on all of us to pay for that corrupt deal, gave $4.8 million tax dollars to Central Falls, voted to crush the will of the people in Coventry and didn't find it sensible to pass a bill that said EBT cards couldn't be used for alcohol, tobacco, tattoos and cruises."
The number of open seats is few, but three Pawtucket seats opened when Democratic Representatives Elaine Coderre, J. Patrick O'Neill and William San Bento announced they would not seek reelection, along with the seats of Frank Ferri of Warwick, who is running for lieutenant governor, and former House speaker Gordon D. Fox of Providence, whose political career effectively ended when state and federal agents raided his home and State House office in March.
O'Neill made big headlines in 2004 as the 33-year-old political newcomer who beat another former House speaker, John Harwood, in a Democratic primary, and again in 2012, when he resigned as House majority whip in a highly unusual public airing of his differences with then-Speaker Fox. At least three candidates are running for his seat.
At least three are vying for San Bento's seat, including Carlos Tobon, the Democrat who lost to him by one vote in a 2012 primary.
It would appear that Pawtucket school board member David Coughlin is running unopposed for Coderre's seat.
The crowd competing for Fox's Providence House seat includes Democrats Aaron Regunberg, Miriam Ross and Heather Tow-Yick — and independent Ethan C. Gyles, a relative newcomer to the neighborhood and project manager for Environmental Resources Management.
The departure of Republican Sen. David Bates of Barrington was expected to spark a contest between Barrington Town Councilwoman Cindy Coyne, a Democrat, and former state GOP chair Giovanni Cicione, but Barrington was one of the communities late in reporting its candidates.
Rematches are also in the wind.
Former Republican Rep. Daniel Reilly is seeking to regain the Middletown-Portsmouth seat he lost to Rep. Linda Finn in 2012. She tallied 50.6 percent of the vote, to his 49.2 percent.
Former state Rep. Keven McKenna is seeking a return to the State House. He is running as a Democrat against Sen. Edward J. O'Neill, an independent whose district includes slices of Lincoln, North Providence and North Smithfield.
In the late 1960s, lawyer McKenna, 69, was a "special assistant to the assistant secretary for legislation" under President Lyndon Baines Johnson; 1969-72, a legislative aide to U.S. Sen. Claiborne Pell; 1973-74, a special counsel to Gov. Philip W. Noel; 1975-76, an assistant attorney general; 1979-85 a state representative for House District 10, Providence-North Providence; 1984-92 Providence Municipal Court judge; 1985-86, president, Rhode Island Constitutional Convention.
Along the way, he ran for mayor of Providence and attorney general. Now living in Lincoln, McKenna says: "I want to use my knowledge to help Lincoln, North Smithfield and North Providence."

Authorities have removed a deer from a Warren County classroom.
Kings Junior High School told News 5 that the deer apparently broke through a window into the classroom, damaging a computer along the way.
A teacher and two high school students were in the classroom when the deer came in, the school said. The three left and closed the door to keep the deer isolated. No one was injured.
A teacher at the school retrieved a tranquilizer gun from his home and shot the deer. The deer was taken from the school, but authorities said the deer had broken its leg and it died soon after.
Students will remain out of the classroom until the window can be repaired and the room is cleaned.

The History of Soap: Historically, soap was made by boiling wood ashes with fat, or oil. Early uses of soap were primarily for cleaning textiles for the making of clothing. It has been documented that the Babylonians were making soap as early as 2800 B.C., but it is not clear what the use was. There are also records of the Phoenicians making soap around 600 B.C. There are biblical references that indicate the Israelites had knowledge of the making of soap. Saponification, the technical name for the chemical reaction of soap, is the process of an alkali combining with and splitting the fat into two parts; glycerine and fatty acids, so that the sodium or potassium in the alkali can fuse to the fatty acid part of the fat or oil, creating soap. For many centuries, soap was made from potash and pearlash lye, combined with fat. Potash and pearlash are both potassium based and can be found in wood or plant material. This was the most widely used form of soap, from nobles to peasants. The process wasn't really understood; people relied on trial and error, as well as superstitions and folklore. The first real evidence of soap being made was in Ancient Rome. An old soap factory was uncovered in the Pompeii ruins. The soap first made by Romans was not used for personal hygiene until the later centuries of the Roman Empire. The Celtics have also been noted by some historians as being the first civilization to use soap for bathing and personal cleansing. The evolution of soap, and its many uses, took a great amount of time; without the global communication of trends like today's world! At the fall of the Great Roman Empire, the use of soap and the need for soap making in Western Europe greatly declined. In other parts of the world, however, the use of soap for personal cleansing was widely practiced. In the 700s Italy and Spain began making soap, and France and England followed between the 1200s and 1300s. Soaps made in southern Europe were generally of higher quality than those made in Northern Europe. Soaps in the south were made of olive oil, while northern Europe had to rely on animal fats & even fish oil. The poorer quality soap was used for laundry and other textile cleaning. European soap makers closely watched their "trade secrets" and ingredients. Meanwhile, in Japan daily bathing and personal cleansing was a daily custom. In the Medieval Age, personal hygiene fell off. With the spread of the Plague, the public feared public baths. Soap was still used for cleaning and washing clothing on a regular basis. Although people still used soap for personal washing, the preferred to mask themselves with heavy scents. When the first settlers came to America, they brought soap in barrels. It was an important necessity to the early colonists. In the interest of saving money, and the time waiting for goods, the colonists began making their own soap. This was generally done after butchering, to use the fat from the animals, or once a considerable amount of cooking grease was saved. Soap-making was generally the woman's responsibility, though it was considered one of the hardest household duties. Most of the early settlers used liquid soap, rather than hard soap. In order to make hard soap, salt must be added at the end of the process; and salt was an important supply for the home & the farm, that was expensive as well. Most colonists preferred the liquid soap, as it worked as well as the hard soap, yet was cheaper to produce. However, hard soap was easier to store & move, so when soap was first made for sale in America, it was made into hard soap. This soap was molded into large bars of soap & then broken off from the large bar into smaller bars that were sold by the pound. It wasn't until the 19th century that small, individually wrapped bars of soap were made. Real soap that is made today is made from caustic soda. In 1971, Nicholas Leblanc invented a process to make soda ash from salt. This streamlined the soap-making process. Today's soap is not the traditional soap that has been used over the ages. WWI brought upon shortages of oil and fat for soap-making. Detergents are non-soap washing products that are made of raw materials. The development of detergent worked well for the military, which needed cleaning products that could work in sea water & cold water. By 1930, detergent almost replaced real soap for laundry, dish and household cleaning products. Today, soap is primarily detergent made from petroleum-based materials. There are five general categories of soap: personal care, laundry, dish, household and automotive care. Manufacturers of soap and detergent based cleansing products are constantly developing new products to one that is efficient, easy and safe for you to use.
Types of soaps:
Laundry soaps - These soaps are generally thought of as mild soaps used for lifting soil, grease and organic compounds from an assortment of fabrics. Laundry detergents are formulated to work under varying conditions. Laundry detergents come in powders, liquids and gels and can work in all water temperatures. Laundry detergents are most effective when used in warm or hot water especially when removing grease or heavy soil.
Kitchen soaps - The two main types of kitchen soaps are dish detergents and cleansers. Dish detergents are formulated to cut through grease, suspend the soil particles in the foam and leave a no residue shine. Hand dishwashing detergents are made to work at lower temperatures and usually have more grease removing capacity by producing more foam. Machine dishwasher detergents are formulated to produce less foam and work at higher temperatures. Often other agents are added to the formula to provide a no residue rinse in the final dishwashing cycle. Cleansers contain mild abrasives that help remove stubborn stains and heavy soil. Some cleansers are more abrasive than others the mildest being cream cleansers to the harshest being powdered cleansers.
Personal soaps - There are many types of personal soaps sold in today's market. From the basic to the extravagant every soap seems to contain its own unique properties specially formulated for every particular need. Antibacterial soaps are formulated to stop the spread of bacteria and viruses by adding broad spectrum antimicrobial agents such as chloroxylenol (PCMX). Chloroxylenol kills up to 99.9% of all bacteria that can make you sick. Regular personal detergent soaps are designed to lift soil from the skin by suspending particles in the foam. Some personal detergent soaps contain lotions and extracts to add moisture to the skin that the detergents take out. Hair and body soaps are a multi-purpose blend that works on hair just as well as it cleans skin making them a great candidate for fitness clubs and schools.
Cleaning soaps - These soaps are made for cleaning soils and grease. Cleaning soaps come in light to heavy duty formulations and are great at removing soils and grease without having to use harsh abrasives.
Industrial soaps - Industrial soaps are formulated for specific tasks. They are commonly used for car washes, auto centers, and production line cleanup. These soaps usually come in 55 gal drums or large containers and are connected to pressure cleaning systems.

Brandi Tomko, the woman convicted of injuring and killing animals while posing as a veterinarian in Akron, will spend an additional six months in prison related to stolen property charges.
Accused fake Akron veterinarian Brandi Tomko faces more charges for treating pets
AKRON, Ohio - A Sharon Township woman accused of pretending to be a veterinarian has been indicted on six additional charges.
A Summit County grand jury indicted Brandi Tomko, 35, on two felony and four misdemeanor counts. The charges stem from pet owners who complained to police after watching our original story about Tomko on NewsChannel5 in April.
The two felony charges include one count of assaulting or harassing an assistance dog. Disabled Persian Gulf war veteran Bob McGee blames Tomko for his dog Allie's death. Allie died from diabetes after being treated by Tomko last year.
Tomko is already facing a 33-count indictment for treating and operating on animals at C&D Animal Hospital in Akron. Akron police said Tomko worked as an office manager at the animal hospital and began treating pets after the hospital's owner moved and left Tomko in charge of the business.
Tomko is currently out on bond.
She is scheduled to appear in Summit County court on Monday, May 14 for a hearing to address the additional charges.

Canadian Pacific's Connaught Tunnel
When the Last Spike was driven in Canadian Pacific's main line on 7 Nov 1885 at Craigellachie the tracks climbed over the Selkirk mountains through Rogers Pass. Snow conditions were so bad that the first winter there were no trains moving over that portion of the line. CPR solved the problem by constructing31 snowsheds in the area of the pass over the next two years. Then on 4 Mar 1910 a huge avalanche came roaring down Mount Avalanche in Rogers Pass near shed 17 and killed 58 men who were in the process of clearing a previous avalanche from Mount Cheops. In February 1913 they announced the construction of a tunnel beneath the pass. Such a tunnel would eliminate the need for maintenance of all those snowsheds, reduce the grade over the pass, and shorten the length of their main line. Construction of this tunnel was commenced on 2 Apr 1914 by the firm of Foley Brothers, Welch, and Stewart. It went operational ahead of schedule on 16 Dec 1916. The name chosen for this tunnel was Connaught, after the Governor General of Canada at the time, Prince Arthur Duke of Connaught.
Facts and Figures Start date: 2 Apr 1914 Operational date: 16 Dec 1916 Length: 5.022 miles (8.082 kilometers) Width: 20 feet (6.096 meters) Grade: 0.95 percent Cost: $5.5 million Trackage abandoned: 14.5 miles (23.335 kilometers) Snowsheds abandoned: 31 Snowsheds length: 4 miles (6.437 kilometers)
Problems The newly built double-tracked tunnel was plagued with falling rock, wet rails causing locomotive slippage, and insufficient ventilation. A concrete lining solved the loose rock problem and controlled water seepage. To solve the ventilation problem a large fan building was constructed at the western portal of the tunnel. Over the years, and still so today, railway rolling stock has gradually increased in size. In 1959 the double-track through the tunnel was removed and a single track laid down the center of the tunnel to accommodate larger and higher equipment.
Today Just as the Rogers Pass route with its snowsheds and looping track was a bottleneck for the railway in the early years, over time the Connaught Tunnel became a bottleneck too. Operation westbound through the tunnel required pusher locomotives to assist heavy tonnage up the hill to the eastern portal on a grade of 2.2 percent. An operational nightmare. So to solve the problem once more Canadian Pacific turned to tunneling. In 1988 a second route with two tunnels and a viaduct were put into operation. The short tunnel was named Mount Shaughnessy Tunnel (1.1 mile 1.77 kilometers long). The main tunnel was named the Mount Macdonald Tunnel. Lying 360 feet (109.728 metres) lower than the Connaught Tunnel and 9.11 miles (14.645 kilometers) long, the Mount Macdonald Tunnel reduced the grade over the Selkirks to only 1 percent on this new route.
Currently, loaded and heavier westbound trains use the lesser grade of the Mount MacDonald Tunnel route while the lighter eastbounds use the Connaught. However, this can change. For example, in 2002, a new tunnel lining was needed on the Mount Shaughnessy Tunnel which required the tunnel's closure to install it. All trains were therefore forced to use only the Connaught Tunnel. This necessitated reinstating pusher service from Rogers up to Stoney Creek siding near the east portal of the Connaught Tunnel. (See the Canadian Pacific employee news article "Push Comes to Shove in Rogers Pass" below.) Operational conditions vary, so beware, you may find trains travelling in any direction on either route. Beware, indeed, that applies to any track anywhere.
CP 9159 East exits the east portal of the Connaught Tunnel - Date/Photographer unknown.
New Information Here's more information about the Connaught tunnel fans. For many years, there was a row of CPR houses behind the west portal of the Connaught tunnel. These housed the fan operators and their families. Contrary to popular legend, the fans were never steam operated. Ancient one lung diesel engines connected to a large flywheel and enclosed squirrel cage fans forced air into the mouth of the tunnel via a short wooden false ceiling. There was some skill involved in starting the one lung diesels. Once in full operation, the machines made a loud wooshing sound. Because of the noise generated by the fans, CP had a gong attached to the main line signal eastbound at the east end of Glacier. Three quarters of a mile inside the tunnel was a lunar searchlight signal, connected to a short ABS block. When a westbound train entered this block, the bell on the signal outside the tunnel would start to ring. The control (home) signal for Glacier East was for many years located just inside the tunnel portal. Sometime in the late 1960's, the operation of the fans was transferred to the train dispatchers in Revelstoke. For westbound trains entering the short block between the lunar and the east switch meant the fans were turned on automatically. The train dispatcher also had a start-stop switch as well as a status light on his/her panel. Failures of the fans to start and stop were not uncommon, and following automation, there was no signal maintainer on duty at night to fix or monitor the fans. Some time circa 1974, the Mountain Subdivision dispatcher had a steady fail light on his panel, and asked the crew of a westbound train going through the tunnel if there was any indication the fans were working. When they exited the tunnel, they noted that the fan house was on fire. The original one lung engines were badly damaged and had to be replaced. The new engines to power the fans didn't require the tall steel smokestacks used by the original engines. The replacement engines didn't have a long service life, and in turn, they caught fire circa 1980, this time destroying the two tall fan houses. The fan complex had to be entirely rebuilt as a lower structure. I think this is when the original engines were dumped beside the rail yard at Glacier. (A photo of the engine cylinders lying outside the fan building shows the date to be July 1972.) The fans still work at Glacier, but see much less use. CP's first EMD 710 engines were installed in the fans houses on the MacDonald tunnel. Again, the fan houses are automated, but have a much more sophisticated monitoring system for the Mountain Subdivision RTC's in Calgary to keep an eye on. Phil Mason - 20 Apr 2013.
Still More New Information Don Thomas has provided still more information regarding the Connaught tunnel: It has commonly been suggested that the 1910 avalanche was the last straw for CP and the Rogers Pass line, and led directly to the decision to construct the Connaught Tunnel. This has been refuted by Gary Backler in his 1981 graduate thesis at University of British Columbia, "The C.P.R.'s Capacity and Investment Strategy in Rogers Pass, B.C., 1882-1916." Backler's research demonstrated that the avalanche was in fact not directly responsible for CP's subsequent decision to build the Connaught Tunnel. CP correspondence and files made it clear that the 1910 avalanche was considered a freak event at the time, as it came from a direction completely different from the usual avalanche paths in Rogers Pass. The cost of constructing a tunnel was found not to be worth the expense under conditions existing at that time. What changed CP's mind soon after was the need to increase capacity of the line, and specifically the 1912 decision to double track the main line between Calgary and Vancouver. This was an extension of the double tracking then under way between the Lakehead and Calgary, as well as elsewhere on CP. Traffic was increasing so rapidly that CP quickly began planning major changes to the mountain lines to accommodate a second track. This may seem ironic in view of the fact that the Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk Pacific were nearing completion and would compete for the same traffic the second track was intended to carry. Perhaps CP believed that a greater track capacity would help it compete for this traffic, and help mitigate the steeper grades and higher summits it traversed. CP may have anticipated that business would increase so much that even with competing railways there would still be an overload of traffic without the planned second track. However that may be, the need for a second track through Rogers Pass, with heavy expenditures to build double track snowsheds, and to duplicate the extensive loop viaducts west of the pass and the large bridges on the east slope, made a tunnel more economical for the first time. Even then, however, a long tunnel roughly comparable to the present Macdonald Tunnel, or even one intermediate in length and elevation between Macdonald and Connaught, and with lower grades than the ruling 2.2 percent, was not found to be economic. After several iterations a five mile tunnel was found to be economic, and the present Connaught Tunnel was chosen. However it was initially planned to have a different east approach. This would have left the original line near Rogers, roughly where the Connaught and Macdonald tracks divide today, and rise at 1 percent much as today's Macdonald track does. About three and a half miles east of the Connaught Tunnel (roughly where Wakely siding is today) the grade would have increased to 2.2 percent, then eased off to just under 1 percent close to the east tunnel mouth. The purpose of this was to limit the length of grade greater than 1 percent to the minimum necessary to reach the elevation required for a five mile tunnel. The intention was to electrify from the base of this grade, through the tunnel to the present Glacier station. The chosen profile allowed for the shortest mileage of electrification, and consequently the smallest number of locomotives. Apart from the steep eastern approach grade, the electrification would have been similar in concept to those recently established for the Hoosac Tunnel or the first Cascade Tunnel, which were restricted to the tunnels and their immediate approaches. And if electrification had not proceeded, the pusher territory would have been comparable to, but shorter than, the existing line west of Rogers. Since tunnel construction would take the greatest time of all the work required for this capacity project, it was started first. Subsequently the First World War caused most other phases of the double tracking project to be suspended or cancelled. So much had already been invested in the tunnel that it was now economic to continue building it. However the cost of the proposed new eastern approach for only one track was not justified by the small operating saving it would produce. The most economical way to approach the east end of the tunnel was to use as much of the existing east slope as possible. The route chosen diverged from the old line just around the curve west of Stoney Creek bridge, at a level grade until about half a mile from the east portal. From this point the grade gradually increased until it reached the tunnel's own grade of just under one percent, just east of the tunnel itself. This new alignment had the advantage of retaining the substantial investments in Stoney Creek bridge and all the other structures east of it including Surprise Creek and Mountain Creek, which would have been written off under the proposed lower double track alignment. By the time traffic increased again, larger locomotives allowed this line to handle it without the need for the lower approach, for a period of over fifty years. When a new tunnel was needed, the economics ruled against a new double track line (since Connaught would serve for eastbound traffic), but they did allow for a maximum 1 percent grade and longer tunnel, that had not been found economic in 1913. Obviously a double track between Calgary and Vancouver would have affected other noteworthy sections of the line. In 1912, when the Spiral Tunnels were only three years old, alignments were proposed for second tunnels beside them. Between Revelstoke and Clanwilliam in Eagle Pass, there was a proposal for a viaduct beginning at the west end of Revelstoke yard, at the point where the track today begins to descend toward the Columbia River bridge. This viaduct would have begun to rise at 1 percent, heading to the right (more northerly) of the present bridge, then curving west to parallel the old line at a higher level and on an easier grade. The new line would return to the old alignment close to where the present old and new lines rejoin going west, which is where the grade on the old track eases out to about 1 percent. This line would have been a little shorter than the present new (westbound) track which similarly has a 1 percent maximum, but the cost of the viaduct would probably have been greater (adjusted for inflation) than the cost of building the new track on embankments in 1980. Various alternatives were proposed to reduce the grade on Notch Hill as part of double tracking, including a tunnel and a new line across the shallow water offshore from Salmon Arm. None of them resembled the loop built for the present westward track. The grade between Lake Louise and Field would have been lowered using a different route than the one adopted in the 1970s, rather closer to the original track and to Bath Creek. The principle would have been the same as with the present westbound track, with the increased grade beginning close to the station instead of starting to rise gradually before becoming much steeper at the top, as the original (eastbound) track does. All of these works would have provided a maximum 1 percent grade against westbound freight, the dominant direction of traffic, between Calgary and Vancouver. This goal was not achieved until the present Lake Louise, Clanwilliam, Notch Hill grades, and Macdonald Tunnel were all completed by the 1980s. Elsewhere on this route, double track would have served to increase capacity but not, for the most part, to reduce grades. In some areas, particularly the Thompson and Fraser Canyons, both finding places for the second track, and constructing it, would certainly have been challenging. Don Thomas - 16 Apr 2014. Editor's Note: The current co-production track through the Thompson and Fraser canyons certainly solves the problem of constructing a second track.
And Still More ! Doug Mayer has provided even more information, a drawing, plus two new photos regarding the Connaught tunnel. The photos and drawing may be found at the bottom of the thumbnail photos on the right side of this web page. As you may know, the Connaught Tunnel will be 100-years-old in December 2016. Here's a sampling of what I know so far. Some of these "known" facts may turn out to be false: The first official train through the tunnel was on 9 Dec 1916. Contrary to popular legend, the tunnel fans were never powered by steam. They were powered by large McIntosh and Seymour 4-cylinder oil engines of an early design. The engines weighed 156,000 pounds and were over 20 feet long and over 14 feet high. They operated at a speed of 190 rpm and burned Bunker C fuel oil. The engines were started with diesel fuel and then switched over to bunker C. The bunker C fuel required heating to keep it viscous, so a boiler room was built below the engine room on the south side. This may be where the steam legend came from. The fans were 12 feet 3 inches in diameter and 8 feet 3 inches wide. They were capable of delivering 700,000 cubic feet of air per minute. (Thumbnail photo number five shows a tank car on the building's siding which probably delivered the Bunker C fuel oil.) Between 1921 and 1925 the tunnel was relined with concrete throughout it's length. Originally, only 7,800 feet of it were lined at the ends. The relining project was done while the tunnel was in use. In 1931 the diverted Illecillewaet River broke through it's banks and flooded the west portal of the tunnel and it's approach with debris. (see the thumbnail photo). In 1958 the tunnel was converted to single track. In 1972 one of the fans houses had a fire that destroyed it's engine. At this time the old engines were discarded and newer type engines were installed. In 1976 another fire destroyed both fan houses requiring another rebuild with the result that the fan houses are now much lower. Some time after that the diesels were replaced by electric motors. It should be noted however that the original fans still exist. Doug Mayer - 25 Apr 2014

Changes in The Amber Alert System
Recent Amber Alerts sent to cell phones have residents wondering about the new program and how they became automatically enrolled.
In the last few months, some of you are receiving AMBER Alerts on their cell phones as "emergency alerts".
Beginning January 1, 2013, the Wireless Emergency Alert System was launched nationally by the Department of Justice and FEMA.
The reason for an AMBER Alert is to assist in the recovery of an abducted child believed to be in danger. Issuing AMBER Alerts have assisted in the successful recovery of over 640 children from their abductors nationwide.
There are three different alerts issued through the alert system. This includes Presidential Alerts, Imminent Threat Alerts for man-made or natural disasters, and AMBER Alerts.
Users may "opt out" of AMBER Alerts and Imminent Threat Alerts by contacting their wireless provider. Presidential Alerts cannot be opted out of.
The public is cautioned that "opting out" of receiving an AMBER Alert will affect their ability to receive alerts when they are travelling outside their "home" area. The service uses GPS for notifications, not cell numbers. So anyone travelling through the area of an AMBER Alert will receive the alert.

"What a lot of the major humor theories do is suggest there are different types of humor," says McGraw. "I just don't believe that."
There had to be a better answer. He found it one day by doing a Google search for "humor theory."
One Saturday evening in August, 1,400 people gather in Chautauqua Auditorium for TEDxBoulder, a conference highlighting cutting-edge ideas. As the sold-out audience watches in rapt silence, some of the most innovative thinkers around attempt to blow their collective minds. A tech CEO illustrates how he plans to put billions to work in Third World countries via cell-phone text messages. A bald-headed monk describes what it was like to spend six silent years in a cave in Burma. A renegade astrophysicist details a thrillingly incomprehensible new theory of the universe.
And Peter McGraw, dressed in his signature sweater vest, takes the stage to tell everybody why they find things funny.
He begins with a request: "In a few moments, I am going to ask you to stand up, turn to someone you don't know, and begin tickling that person."
As the crowd chuckles uncomfortably, McGraw says that he and his students think they've cracked the code as to why everyone's laughing.
The answer is something he calls the Benign Violation Theory, or the BVT.
The BVT arose from that fateful Google search two years ago. The second search result led to a bare-bones website featuring an HTML version of "A Theory of Humor," a paper in the May 1998 issue of HUMOR: The International Journal of Humor Research, by a Stanford linguistics student named Thomas Veatch.
Veatch seems to have disappeared (calls to several phone numbers listed under his name aren't returned, and online references suggest he's become a plumber), but his hypothesis stuck with McGraw. According to Veatch, humor arose when a person viewed something as being a violation of his or her values, as well as being "normal."
To McGraw, Veatch's theory appeared to be more accurate than all the others he'd studied, although it still had flaws. When Caleb Warren, a doctoral student working with McGraw, illustrated the theory with a made-up story about a man having sex with a dead chicken and then eating it, department head Lichtenstein quickly summed up the problem.
That situation may be funny, he said, but nothing about it is normal.
So Warren came up with new terminology that they thought improved upon Veatch's work. According to this amended theory, humor only occurs when someone perceives a situation as a violation and simultaneously realizes that the situation is also benign. Under this, the dead-chicken-sex story makes sense: While the violation it describes may not be normal, many people would consider it benign and therefore funny because they realize no actual chickens were harmed in the making of the joke.
Or take his tickle request, McGraw suggests to the TEDxBoulder audience, admitting that he's not going to make them do it. Asking them to touch a stranger was clearly a violation, but he made the situation benign by warning them that it was going to happen rather than by demanding that they do it on the spot.
Every kind of humor McGraw and Warren could think of fit into the BVT. Slapstick worked: Falling down the stairs, a physical violation, is only funny if nobody's actually hurt. A dirty joke trades on moral or social violations, but it's only going to get a laugh if the person listening is liberated enough to consider risqué subjects such as sex benign. Puns can be seen as violations of linguistic norms, though only cerebral types and grammarians care enough about the violation to chuckle.
Even tickling can be explained by the BVT, since it involves somebody violating someone else's physical space in a benign way. People can't tickle themselves, McGraw points out, because it isn't a violation. Nor will most people laugh if a creepy stranger tries to tickle them, since nothing about that is benign.
McGraw believes the BVT may even help explain why, biologically, humans evolved with the ability to laugh. It is clearly a beneficial trait to be able to correctly perceive when a violation is benign and communicate that to others via laughter, he points out. Early humans who were afraid of every apparent violation, real or not, weren't going to last long — nor were those who took one look at a woolly mammoth charging their way and did nothing but bust a gut.
Although the BVT hasn't made McGraw any funnier himself — "I guess some of it is, I'm satisfied with my level of funniness, so I am not aspiring to greater levels," he says — those who'd like to improve their shtick should find it handy. As he explains to the TEDxBoulder audience, people can make upsetting concepts more amusing by making them seem more benign. He calls this the Sarah Silverman Strategy, after the comedian who gets away with jokes on abortion and AIDs because the way she tells them is so darn cute. On the flip side, benign, everyday occurrences can be made hilarious by exposing how they actually violate common sense. McGraw calls this the Seinfeld Strategy.

There are several reasons behind erectile dysfunction and this can happen to any person from any age group. There are reasons some of them are physical and some of them are mental reasons mainly psychological.
Around 80% cases of erectile dysfunction are related to physical causes. There are various types of physical reasons that may cause erectile dysfunction and following are some of the exclusive examples. The one of the most common reasons of impotence has reduced blood flow to your penis. This generally happens between the men who are in 40 or above age group. From this age the arteries of the body become narrow and hence the blood flow gets reduced naturally. It does not help proper erection of penis. Smoking and high blood pressure are the primary reasons for narrowing of arteries other than age factor. There are nerves like other parts of the body that take care of your erection of the penis. Due to any disease like Parkinson's those nerves might get damaged and cause erectile dysfunction. Diabetes is one of those common causes that create all the possible blockages that will affect your erection negatively. Testosterone is a hormone that is required for proper erection. This is made in the testes. If anyone is lack of this male hormone then erectile dysfunction may appear. This is a very uncommon and very rarely this happens. Generally due to some external injury in the head or testes may cause lack of testosterone. There are several kinds of therapies including radiotherapy may cause erectile dysfunction. There are also several side effects that some of the medicines will have and cause of impotence. Almost all the antidepressant drugs provide with erectile dysfunction as a side effect. Excessive drinking of alcohol and overdose of any drug will bring in impotence in even very premature age. In most impotence cases, physical reasons are primarily responsible. Other than hormonal deficiency, you still be able to act sexually if you have ED due to any other physical reason. Due to ED you may suffer from several other issues that will cause anxiety and poor self esteem.
Erectile dysfunction or impotence may happen due to several mental state of mind as well. In modern day stress is a killer and due to stress in professional and personal life, it has become difficult for people to avoid erectile dysfunction. This is now increasing in numbers. Anxiety, difficulties in relationships, depression or any other emotional outburst may cause ED to anyone. Unless you control your emotion and start thinking positively you cannot come out of these mental stages. In case you are suffering from impotence due to any state of mind, then this will occur suddenly. Your erection will improve with your mental state only. Sometimes you will not be able to find out the real reason of erectile dysfunction and then it will force you to get more depressed. This is an infinite loop and you need to break that to come out of it. Even a regular dosage of antidepressant will not work after a certain period because it has got its side effects that will make the case worse. Getting erectile dysfunction in regular basis due to psychological disorder is a common factor. As we have already discussed that most of the cases of impotence is due to physical causes, but in today's urban life psychological causes are increasing rapidly. It is up to the awareness that will make you understand whether you have been suffering from erectile dysfunction due to psychological reasons or not. The most advised way is to keep yourself away from stress as much as possible to keep away ED from yourself.

It's Time to Start Bitching About the Golden Globes Nominations Again
Movie News By Nathan Adams on December 13, 2012 | Comments (4)The road of awards season is a long one to travel – one full of shameless politicking and indulgent self-congratulations – and today marks the first big stop on this arduous journey: the announcement of the nominations for the Golden Globes. Every year the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announces its nominees, every year film fans all over the world complain about how all of their favorites got left out, and every year even those in charge of the voting process still scratch their heads as to why all of their awards are still split along the lines of comedy and drama. Who knows? It's tradition! Below are the nominations for feature films. Now is your chance to pore over them and begin to ask all of the important questions like: If ParaNorman was the best animated movie of the year, why does it seem like it's the only one that didn't get nominated? How can The Silver Linings Playbook get so much representation in the comedy section of the awards, while David O. Russell gets locked out of the Best Director category? And, perhaps most importantly, who in the heck suddenly decided that Salmon Fishing in the Yemen was a good movie? If you wish to contact the HFPA with these questions directly, or perhaps see who they chose to nominate in their television categories, head on over to their official site and get it done. For everyone else, enjoy the comfort of being able to stay right here on FSR. […]

We have put our house on sale. But in my current house I have few fruit plants and flower plants that i have planted them in ground. I want to take them with me to the new house. Can I dig them during summer? What care do I have to take? We bought land and going to have house build in it. House building is not started. So I am not sure where to plant them on the lot too. I am planning to plant all of them in the ground at one corner. Once the house is built, then I wanted to plant them in the permanent location. I can keep them in the pots, but if we move to apartment, I don't have much space for 100s of pots. Few pomegranate and jujube plants I have in the ground. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Bunti, Moving trees to pots during the growing season is challenging due to too much stress on the trees. You can ask the new home owner to let come back during the dormant season to remove some of your favorite trees. If they don't let you then add the price of your trees to the value of the house and buy some new trees at your next location. Tony. |

Indian Facts and Fallacies
Posted By Dennis On In Native American | No Comments
While I was adding Indian Villages North of Mexico to our site, I discovered many things I didn't know, (not that I know everything Indian!!) but I thought some of these were very interesting and would share them with our readers. Some you may agree with while others are quite questionable.
The Handbook of American Indians North of Mexico was compiled by some of the best and well known Indian researchers of that time. Many of which wrote only about specific tribes. The work began in 1873 and was submitted to the Bureau of Ethnology for publication in 1905. There are approximately 2,500 tribes listed in the book, most of which you will find under Indian Tribes of the United States on our pages.
Now is my turn to say to our readers Did you Know?

Land of Compassion
and Wisdom welcomes
Geshe Soepa to Austin
On Sunday, July 20, 2014 Geshe Thubten Soepa arrived in Austin to, once again, become our "unofficial" resident geshe. He will be with us for several weeks. Then, at intervals in the Fall and Winter, he'll take off to give teachings at other Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition centers: Alaska, Vermont, New York, and Mexico. In between those trips and then February through his return to India in Spring 2015, Geshe-la will be with us here at Land of Compassion and Wisdom.
On Sunday afternoons from 12N-2:30pm and Monday evenings from 7pm-8:30pm when he is in Austin, Geshe-la will offer classes suitable for all levels of interest in Buddhist philosophy and practice, providing insight and methods to help us live more meaningful and satisfying lives, and ultimately to reach our highest potential.
CHECK OUT THE CALENDAR AT THE END OF THE "EVENTS" PAGE FOR THE SUBJECTS GESHE-LA WILL BE TEACHING AND WHEN HE IS SCHEDULED TO TEACH. When he is out of town, Land of Compassion and Wisdom returns to our schedule of meeting once a week, on Mondays, continuing our study of Discovering Buddhism (see EVENTS page for more information).
Geshe Soepa studied for 21 years at Sera Jey monastery in India where he passed the highest level of examinations for his Lharampa Geshe degree. He later taught for three years in Sera and Dzongar Choden monasteries. Geshe Soepa served as resident teacher for Aryatara Institut in Germany for 10 years. He has been visiting and teaching at Land of Compassion & Wisdom in Austin, Texas since 2006 where he is the unofficial, part-time, resident teacher.

Venerable Robina Courtin gave evening teachings in Austin, April 27 and 28, 2014. Over two dozen students were present for these wonderful teachings that were like an abbreviated Lam Rim course…so much in so little time. Suffering, karma, happiness, emptiness, vows, attachment/anger/ignorance, the mind and more; these were not little sips of water but fountains to splash in then try try to absorb!
This was an example of positive collective karma ripening and how precious it was.
Thank you, Venerable Robina, for what you have given us.
About Venerable Robina. Ordained in the late 1970s, Ven. Robina has worked full time since then for Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche's Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT). Over the years she has served as editorial director of Wisdom Publications, editor of Mandala Magazine, executive director of Liberation Prison Project, and as a touring teacher of Buddhism. Her life and work with prisoners have been featured in the documentary films Chasing Buddha and Key to Freedom. http://www.robinacourtin.com/biography.php

I have the little Peter Rabbit potager planned for the little ones (nieces, nephews and friends who visit) but I want to plan a larger vegetable garden for the older kids.
This would be for our use too, but so many of the kids who visit don't have gardens of their own (we live in the country) so I want to include things they can grow and take home. My 10 year-old nephew is really interested and loves melons and pumpkins. We have an old metal gazebo top (about 2' tall and 7' across) that has the four curved sides coming from a central top piece. Well, it's always looked like a big spider to me, so we call it spidey. My nephew has decided to paint it black (it's a little rusty) and use it in his garden area, for growing gourds, cucumbers, mini-pumpkins, etc. on the "legs". He also wants to plant melons between each "leg" but due to lack of space, we'll probably grow bush type watermelons. He also wants a bean teepee (made out of bamboo poles I have from last year) and maybe some flowers to attract bugs. I told him about companion planting and he's very interested. He's planning to put radishes and nasturtiums around his squash and maybe some tomatoes, basil and marigold together. Although we have some ideas, I'd love to hear any other suggestions. Thank you! |

I'm thinking of adding red raspberries to one side of the garden, on the outside of the fence. Boyne and Nova are supposed to be good...any recommendations? |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Whitey!
Facts about Whitey
- Breed: Chihuahua/Maltese Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Whitey's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
Whitey was rescued with his 2 other litter mates. They're about 4 months old and only weigh about 4 lbs. All of them are very outgoing and love people. They'd like nothing better than to sit in your lap all day. Whitey will be neutered, UTD with shots and miccrochipped before going to his furever home. If interested in this little sweetie please contact their foster mom at 386-236-8529.
Other Pets at Rescued Hearts Animal Shelter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Whitey, a Ormond Beach Chihuahua/Maltese puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua/Maltese for sale in Ormond Beach, or seeking a Chihuahua/Maltese puppy from a breeder in Ormond Beach.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Ormond Beach already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Ormond Beach breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua/Maltese breeders who help with Chihuahua/Maltese rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Ormond Beach paves the way for another one to be saved.

Hi All,
I had a submersible well pump replaced 1 year ago. It still operates fine, except, now that I have turned on my irrigation system, the irrigation filter with 60 mesh screen is getting clogged with sediment. its sand and fine silt mostly, rust colored. I don't see this in my house fixtures because I have a water softener. After only 4 hours of sprinkler run time the filter is clogged solid. Any ideas why I am getting so much sediment? When it was first put in, i got some, and I had the pump raised some, but apparently that did not work. I am also concerned I may be clogging my pump and stressing my softener system. I am at a loss. well guy wants me to run garden hose from bottom of pressure tank to "flush" well again, but its been a year!! Help please!! Thank you dan |
Follow-Up Postings:
I should also note, that before i had the pump changed, there was a paper whole house ctaridge filter on the irrigation system that I would only need to change once a season, no sediment at all. So the problem did start with the new pump. |

How deep is the well? Is it a shallow well? If so you may need a sand removal filter. The attached link shows an automatic model which purges sand at a variable setting. It can be purchased at one of the big box retailers. The item number is a Lowes item number. You may be able to google the model and find another source. My first well was sending sand up and when I researched the well log, the driller only went through 85 feet of sand/silt. I had them drill another well deeper and through the rock layer to water on the other side. No sand, but plenty of iron here. I have an iron filter which works Great. Hope this helps, Take Care Dan Ecopure Whole House Sediment Water Filtration System |

Yesterday was the first night I felt okay about turning on the stove. Three days of triple digits due to the combination of heat and humidity — no thanks! This is one of the major reasons why I moved away from Florida, but also miss California dry desert heat, where you can seek solace in the shade. Anyhow.
When summer strikes, it is nice to have some cooked grains or pasta on hand to turn into cold salads later. I don't always have that luxury of forethought, but it came together for me this time. What follows is a loose recipe, easily adapted to the grains or greens you have on hand. At some point I stopped posting any recipes containing glutenous ingredients, but the truth of the matter is, I'm not gluten-free these days (even if I may not feel great after eating two or three slices of bread during my lunch break at work, but I think that's a matter of knowing when to stop eating). The gluten-free (and ususally soy-free) nature/identity of my blog for the last couple years became subconsciously intentional, which I think contributed partially to my recent dearth of postings. There are lots of reasons though, which I'll get into some other time. The good news is, you can use just about any whole grain for this salad, and for my gluten-free friends I'd recommend a combination of brown and wild rice, or quinoa, millet, or amaranth. Whatever you choose, cook it in vegetable stock. Veggie stock makes everything dreamy!
I had kale from our CSA to use, though my original intent was to use red chard. Generally speaking, I'd use half a bunch of the tougher greens like kale or collards, and a whole bunch of the softer greens like chard or spinach since they cook down so much. Also, I think the bit of white wine in the dressing really makes this salad, but if you don't have any on hand you might try champagne or white wine vinegar. I like using some wine in the sauce and the rest for drinking with dinner, naturally. This is a fairly filling salad and works well as a main course or divided up into smaller portions as a side. It would go well with a fresh green salad (two salads! zomg!) or grilled veggies or even some baked tofu or tempeh.
Summer Grain Salad with Greens and Mustard-Wine Dressing
makes 2 hefty servings, or 4 smaller ones2 cups cooked whole grains, chilled (I used vegetable broth to cook the spelt berries)
1/2 – 1 bunch greens, stemmed and chopped small
1 tablespoon flax oil
1-2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 teaspoon mustard
juice of 1/2 lemon
2-3 tablespoons white wine (I used a pretty dry riesling)
salt and pepper to taste2 tablespoons raisins
2 tablespoons chopped raw nuts (I used pecans)Bring a pot of water to a boil on the stove, and prepare a bowl of ice water. When the water is boiling, toss in your greens and cook until softened and bright green (shorter time for softer greens, a bit longer for tougher greens). Drain into a colander and immediately plunge the cooked greens into the ice water bath to stop the cooking process and preserve the color. Let them hang out in the water until they're no longer hot, then remove and squeeze out the excess water with your hands. Separate the greens (it may be easier to rechop them).
Place the grains in a mixing bowl and prepare the dressing: whisk together the oil, garlic, mustard, lemon and wine and pour it over the greens. Toss, then taste and season with salt and pepper. Add the greens, raisins, and nuts, tossing to distribute. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
That looks lovely, I have kale growing in the garden so this would be a great way to use it, I think I will try it with quinoa!
[...] things on the veggie-heavy side, tonight I made this Summer Grain Salad. My grains were spelt berries and barley, my greens were rainbow chard. I was quite liberal adding [...]
Looks refreshing.
Mmm, I love cold grain salads! This is something my family would really like for lunch.
Next time, try Kasha or hulled Buckwheat….Yummyyy!
[...] Summer Grain Salad with Greens and Mustard-Wine Dressing The name says it all, though why I called this summery I'm not entirely sure, since I think it could be eaten at any time of year! And an excuse to have a nice glass of wine with dinner sits pretty well with me, too. [...]

Hello everyone. Wondering if anyone else might have seen this? While driving along one day I saw on someone's front porch two wonderful little friends. Decorative painted children sitting on a swing. The little swing hung from small rope, the face and bodies were flat then the legs were made of like 1x2 so it sat on the swing then another piece hung down to make them realistic looking. "She" had pigtails and I think "He" had a little hat on. Hope I am explaining this right. They were the cutest thing and I've searched hours looking for a pattern. Thanks in advance! |

Hi ladysox...If I'm thinking of the same ones...I have seen those and they are cute. I seem to remember a possible pattern in one of my woodworking catalogs. I'll see if I can find it and hopefully someone else here knows too. ~Anj |
Ok, I found the ones I was thinking of in my Winfield Collection catalog and I will post a link for you. Just type in "swingers" in the search box. Hope that's what you were looking for. If not, they have a bunch of cute ones that may work for you. =D ~Anj |

Boys basketball: Bowman overpowers River Forest; Bishop Noll survives close one over host Wheeler
By Ryan Haskell Post-Tribune correspondent February 26, 2013 10:54PM
With 3.5 seconds left in the 2nd, Bishop Noll's Larry Crisler puts one up in traffic under the basket and sinks it putting Noll up 24-17 at Wheeler High School on Tuesday, February 26, 2013. | Jim Karczewski~for Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: March 28, 2013 6:50AM
VALPARAISO — Bowman Academy was just too much for River Forest as it used its size and speed to record 44 rebounds and 16 steals in an 80-51 Class 2A Wheeler Sectional first-round win over the Ingots on Tuesday night.
The Eagles recorded nine steals in the second quarter and outscored River Forest 22-10 in that stretch to put the clamps on this one early. Bowman led 39-21 at the half.
Junior forward Justin King said it's all about defense in practice.
"Our practice is running and getting into shape," said King, who had 18 points and six rebounds. "I'm glad we played hard to get through it. Now, we've got six more games left."
In the nightcap, Bishop Noll edged Wheeler 48-40 for its third win over the Bearcats this season. The Warriors (18-4) were led by junior Larry Crisler, who finished with 19 points and seven rebounds. Noll will face Whiting in the second game Friday night at 7:30 p.m., while Bowman (12-9) opens Friday's semifinal action against Lake Station at 6.
Eleven Eagles scored in this one with the lone member Darrion Riddle (not registering a point) contributing in other ways as he tallied six rebounds, five assists and three steals.
Arthur Haggard had a strong game recording 16 points, four steals and two assists.
"Haggard sparked us with some threes," Bowman coach Marvin Rea said of Haggard's four bombs. "He's been in a little slump lately but he seemed to snap out of it."
Rea said his team's 29-point win was sloppy — at times — and that his squad will need to play better going forward.
"We pretty much came out flat," he said. "But this is the first sectional game for a lot of guys so they came out with some butterflies.
"I think we have some work to do but it's the post-season and you'll take a win anyway you can get one."
The Warriors jumped out to a 14-2 first-quarter lead but Wheeler outscored Noll 15-10 in the second quarter and 12-10 in the third quarter to make it a contest in the end.
Noll shot 8-for-12 from the free throw line in the fourth quarter to hold off the upset.
Tyreon Gates had 12 points and eight rebounds for the Warriors.
