FBI hunting for Washington victims of self-professed serial killer
The FBI in Washington has opened a "very active" investigation into the claims of self-professed serial killer Israel Keyes, who claimed to have killed four people in Washington before his suicide last weekend in an Anchorage jail.

Audio: Keyes talks to investigators
The FBI is asking the public for help in tracking the travels of Israel Keyes, a self-professed serial killer who claims he killed four people in Washington between 2001 and 2006.
Keyes, 34, was found dead of an apparent suicide in his jail cell Sunday at the Anchorage Correctional Complex while awaiting trial for the kidnapping and slaying of an 18-year-old Anchorage barista in February.
Before his death, Keyes had been cooperating with authorities in connection with several killings around the country, including a Vermont couple who disappeared from their home in June 2011. Keyes provided investigators with information that has convinced them that he is responsible for those killings.
Keyes also told investigators in Alaska that he killed four people in Washington, but names and details are lacking, according to an FBI news release. He said he killed two people in separate incidents sometime in 2005 or 2006, and then "murdered a couple" in the state between 2001 and 2005.
"It is unknown if the victims were residents of Washington or if they were vacationing in Washington but resided in another state," according to a news release out of the FBI's Anchorage office. "It is also possible Keyes abducted them from a nearby state and transported them to Washington."
Keyes was stationed at Fort Lewis (now Joint Base Lewis-McChord) in the late 1990s, and then lived in the Colville area in Stevens County and in Neah Bay, Clallam County, according to residential data.
Frank Harrill, the FBI's senior supervisory agent in Spokane, said Monday the bureau in Washington state has opened a "very active" investigation into Keyes' statements.
"We are pursuing all leads on possible victims," said Ayn Dietrich, the spokeswoman for the FBI's Seattle office.
Agents say Keyes was highly organized and would travel long distances to hunt victims, often using several modes of transportation to cover his trail. Investigators said Keyes confessed to hiding caches of equipment he planned to use in future killings, including weapons and means of disposing of bodies.
The FBI said agents recovered two caches in Eagle River, Alaska, and in Blakes Falls Reservoir in New York.
Keyes moved from Washington to Alaska in March 2007. He also owned property in upstate New York, near the Canadian border.
Keyes, a handyman and owner of a construction company, was scheduled to stand trial in March in federal court for the slaying of 18-year-old barista Samantha Koenig, who was abducted from an Anchorage coffee kiosk. Anchorage Police Chief Mark Mew said that while in custody Keyes confessed to killing Koenig, as well as Bill and Lorraine Currier, of Essex, Vt.
On Monday, officials confirmed at a news conference in Vermont that Keyes was responsible for the Curriers' deaths, saying Keyes described details that had not been released publicly.
Authorities in Alaska said Keyes flew from Alaska to Chicago with the intent of kidnapping and killing someone, drove to Essex, Vt., chose the Curriers, a couple in their 50s, and broke into their home. Keyes bound them with zip ties, forced them into their car and drove them to an abandoned house, where he shot Bill Currier and sexually assaulted and strangled Lorraine Currier.
Their bodies have not been found.
The FBI also released several photographs and a chilling audio clip in which Keyes says he's been "two different people" for at least the past 14 years.
Driver's license and other data show Keyes had addresses in Colville and Neah Bay. A Neah Bay post-office box was in Keyes' name as recently as 2008, according to records.
According to military records, Keyes served in the Army from July 1998 to July 2001. He was stationed at the former Fort Lewis beginning in November 1998.
The website for Keyes' Anchorage construction company says he worked in Washington state in the mid-1990s and then served three years in the Army infantry, stationed at Fort Hood in Texas and Sinai, Egypt, in addition to Fort Lewis.
According to the site, he then worked from 2001 to 2007 for the Makah Tribal Council in Neah Bay before moving to Alaska.
It doesn't appear that Keyes had a felony record in Washington state, but he was cited for driving with a suspended license in Thurston County in January 2002.
Harrill, the Spokane-based FBI agent, said the Washington investigation at this point has not focused on specific victims but rather is looking at known homicides and missing persons and comparing them to the information Keyes has given investigators in Alaska.
According to the FBI news release, Keyes said he frequented parks, campgrounds, trailheads and boating areas looking for victims.
Keyes also had admitted to several bank robberies, two of which have been corroborated, Gonzalez said. Keyes told agents he would use the money to finance his trips to hunt for victims.
Anyone with information on Keyes is asked to call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

I actually dont know who made this cross. I was told before, but I forgot. I dont even know who mom and dad is though we can assume Domingos Martins is one of them. I find out. |
Nope, not mine, Gonz. In fact that was one I was meaning to pick up from Michael, but I forgot. It was one of the few Bills that really caught my eye when I was there. Obviously a DM hybrid, but with a narrow profile that's very unique. Anyone know the other parent? |
So I have a question about all of these fancy, super-spotty bills...how variable are they (spot saturation-wise)? It seems like they have a lot of similarities but you guys can pick them out quite easily. And the trick to keep that great spotting and strong color do they take pretty strong light and no fertilizer? |
Wow - great plant and great combination! Cheers, Paul |

I am in college & basically rent a room I guess, and share a kitchen & laundry with 2 other rooms which have 1 or 2 renters. We all have locks on our bedroom doors, as well as lock on the exterior doors of course. But the kitchen and laundry are open.
Has anyone else ever rented this way (where you share a kitchen & laundry room with people you don't even know) & how did you handle the food issues? Such as writing name on food. But then there are the coffee pot, crock pot, pots & pans, dishes & utensils which should be left alone but aren't. |
Follow-Up Postings:
If I'm reading correctly, you share a kitchen but you do not share cooking equipment? In other words, the pots & pans are yours, not common to the apartment. Have you tried to have a meeting with everyone and spell out rules for the kitchen and other shared areas? Are the other tenants aware that the equipment in the kitchen is not communal, but belongs to someone? Try to hammer out some rules--food with initials on it is off-limits, no initials it is fair game for everyone. Everyone uses their own cooking equipment, etc. Do you have a separate space in the kitchen? A cabinet that is all yours? If so, and trying to set rules doesn't work, I would ask the landlord if you could put a lock on your cabinet. Last resort, keep everything in your room. But I wouldn't do that until you have spoken with the other people. It might cause hard feelings if you just suddenly did that. Talking with people might clear up any misconceptions--maybe someone thinks the coffee pot is for general use and doesn't realize that it belongs to you. |

If I lived in that situation, I'd want jointly owned coffee pots, even basic dishes, etc. Can you get a meeting together to hash that out? Everybody donates one item, or whoever is supplying most of them gets "rent" from everybody who uses them? Like these, which don't have hasps but DO have lids, and you could put a small padlock on all 4 sides (or just 2 opposite sides) Of course, those wouldn't be great for tall stuff like milk, but maybe stuff like that you could keep in your room, in a small dorm-size fridge. If you *did* end up moving all your stuff to your room, you could maybe find a basket like the supermarket shopping baskets to carry stuff back and forth. Or, cleaning caddies might work, but they often have dividers that would get in the way of carrying bulky stuff. |

this one could be useful; there's a shorter version, if this one's *too* big. |
talley sue nyc, that first link is great & I think that will work for boxed food as well as in the fridge. camlan, that is correct. We share the kitchen, but everyone is supposed to use their own stuff. Everyone is told the rules when they sign their lease, but there is one set of roommates who use other people's stuff, don't wash it for days, keep it in their room, etc. Another set of roommates & I had a meeting with them, and it got better, but only for awhile. I don't really have room in my room for a cabinet to keep my kitchen stuff in, and don't have a fridge of my own either. The kitchen does have a narrow cabinet (very narrow, a plate won't fit) for each person, and has a lock on it. I keep my dry food in there, and my dishes on my shelf in the pantry closet. Pots and pans are hung on a rack on the wall, and appliances are on open shelves. The kitchen has very little storage or counter space, just enough counter space for a dish drain rack. |

'Concerto Barocco': A dancer's life's work in one ballet
"Ballet is woman," choreographer George Balanchine is famously quoted as saying. None of his ballets embodies that sentiment more than "Concerto Barocco."
Over the years, dance critics have called Balanchine's "Concerto Barocco" "spiritual perfection," "among the greatest of ballets" and a ballet where Balanchine "found his true self." Today, more than 70 years after its creation, the work continues to astonish with its architectural clarity, pristine female beauty and ordered form.
Set to some of Bach's most sublime music — his "Double Violin Concerto in B Minor" — "Concerto Barocco" has become an icon of Balanchine's spare, neoclassical style. It has no plot, no characters and no pretext of any sort. What it does have is some of Balanchine's most extraordinary steps, a complete marriage of the music and the movement and a reliance on ensemble dancing.
Balanchine always identified himself as a musician first and foremost and "Concerto Barocco" is among his most stunning efforts to allow us to, in his own words, "see the music and hear the dance."
In this groundbreaking ballet, Balanchine brings Bach's contrapuntal style — two or more melodic lines weaving in and out of each other — visually and kinetically alive. In the score, the two violins interact with the orchestra and each other; Balanchine's ballet reflects that complexity, with two ballerinas dancing the "violin" parts, moving in and out of the corps' formations, sometimes stepping into the ensemble and sometimes out of it. The choreography isn't a literal reproduction of the score, but rather seems to be in conversation with it.
There is a male dancer in the middle section in addition to the two female soloists, but more than anything, this is an ensemble work that elevates the female corps to a level unusual in ballet. Their steps are as difficult as those of the soloists and, unlike the leads, the eight female corps dancers are on stage for the ballet's full 22 minutes. Their choreography is so rigorous that PNB's corps goes through a pair of pointe shoes at every rehearsal and every performance.
"It's like being shot out of a cannon," explains corps member Jessica Anspach, who first danced "Concerto Barocco" in 2005 and appears in one of four casts PNB is offering this time around. "The physical challenge almost usurped any joy I might have felt [that first time]. But every time I perform it I progress and feel a personal sense of achievement. Very few other Balanchine ballets get you into shape like this."
Margaret Mullin, who is dancing "Concerto Barocco" for the first time this year, admits she was terrified to learn the ballet. "It's easy to get overwhelmed when you first start but Francia [Russell who is staging PNB's production] was so encouraging. She told us, 'Just remember, you are beautiful young women,' and that made us rise to the occasion."
Apart from the stamina that "Concerto Barocco" demands, the corps' choreography is among the most difficult that Balanchine ever required of them. Their hops on pointe, daisy-chain intertwinings and split-second timing require extreme precision and the ability to move in complete unison.
"There's really no other ballet like it where all eight of us are like the other principal, so that we're not eight individuals, but eight collectively," says Mullin.
Anspach agrees. "You breathe together, you become one. It's unlike anything else that I've ever experienced. And nobody is out there trying to be the star. If we do that, the piece will fall apart. The star is our oneness."
One of the greatest challenges of "Concerto Barocco" is that it is so precisely constructed to the music, there's no room for error. The steps are clipped and if the dancers are off by even a split-second, the beauty is disturbed. The corps must have perfectly turned-out legs and flashing feet, all moving in the exact same way at precisely the same moment.

Wii Expands Musical, Educational Opportunities for WIU Music Professor James Caldwell
Guitar Hero and Rock Band are ways that people can unleash their inner Slash and Eddie Van Halen personas, but the Wii can go well beyond those two popular games to be used for innovative - and educational - opportunities within music education.
Western Illinois University Music Professor James Caldwell has used computers since the 1980s to make music. A few years ago after reading an article in Electronic Musician about using the Wii to make music, he decided to try it out.
"I borrowed a Wii remote from my son-in-law, and spent a weekend playing around with possibilities," Caldwell said. "I really was intrigued at the ways physical motion could be captured and used to control music generated within a computer and played through speakers."
Caldwell, an active composer, has played two of his solo Wii pieces on national festivals of electronic and digital music. "Alternative instruments and controllers are an important part of the scene of experimental computer music these days, and I've seen a lot of interest in my work with the Wii controllers," Caldwell said. His most recent piece, "Texturologie 12: Gesture Studies," was premiered on the WIU campus November 16, 2011.
Caldwell's wife, Nancy, thought that some of the sounds he was exploring when he started composing with the devices and the gestures he was using reminded her of handbell music, so she proposed they work together on a piece for the Knox Bell Choir, an ensemble of 7th through 12th grade students that Nancy directs at First Presbyterian Church in Macomb.
Read more and link to the YouTube videos.
Caldwell performed Texturologie 8b: Hyperbell, one of his pieces for computer-generated music controlled by Wii remote, at the Studio 300 Digital Art and Music Festival at Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky, on September 16, 2011. He also gave a presentation, "Interactive Performance with Wii Controllers."

Hello, all, I am a true newbie, as the only gardening I have ever done involved 2 pots of begonias.
I have two very healthy oak trees, don't ask me what kind, growing right up against my carport. They both have trunks about 6 inches in diameter. They are about 15 feet tall. They will have to be cut down or moved, if not for the carport, because they are growing up into some electrical wires. Can these trees be transplanted?? I hate to just cut them down, and then what would I have to do to get rid of the roots? See? I have no idea how to deal with plants, let alone trees. |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you wait til March, you can transplant them. If you do it now, they will die. That's nature! |
An oak that big planted right next to your carport may theoretically be able to be moved, but you sure wouldn't see me trying that trick. Many types of oaks really don't like to be transplanted and may suffer considerable transplant shock (whether moved now or some other time) unless you get a fairly large rootball. The bottom line is that unless Lucy would agree to come over and do all the work for free or I could hire a professional with the right equipment to do the work, I think I would just cut them down and remove the tree. |

A 90" tree spade could do it. The tree movers I hired told me that oaks do better when transplanted in the Spring. |
I'm with brandon7; yes, conceivably, they *could* be moved, but a 6" caliper/15 footer is way bigger than I'd be inclined to attempt, nor would I be inclined to spend the $$ it'd take to hire someone with a large tree spade to move 'em, unless they were a valuable, one-of-a-kind specimen. Late winter transplanting appears to work best for oaks - you'll probably need to do it in Jan/Feb, depending on where in AL you're located. My rule of thumb is: it'll take a minimum of 1 year per inch of trunk diameter for most bareroot transplants to re-establish root systems and re-commence growth; IF you moved these with a tree spade, you might get re-establishment sooner, as you wouldn't lose ALL the 'feeder' roots, but there'd be a significant setback, if the trees didn't just die outright. I'm an oak enthusiast, but if they were at my place, in the location you've described, I'd just cut them down and be done with it. Depending upon your preferences, you could hire/rent a stump grinder to grind the stumps out, or just treat the exposed cambium layer of the stump with undiluted Brush-B-Gon or Pathway(Tordon) herbicide and allow them to rot away naturally. |
- Posted by carterobrien 5, Chicago (My Page) on Fri, Aug 4, 06 at 14:28
what kind of oaks? if moving them is economically feasible, I'd do it, as oaks are slow growing and super-specimen variety trees. You'd pay a fortune to have 2 oaks of that size planted, or it would take many years to wait for them to get that large. definitely only do it in spring though. |
I am with Lucky on this one. Call a couple of arborists for prices on getting the trees transplanted and you'll soon make up your mind. ;-) Then ask them the cost of removal and stump grinding. |
- Posted by ken_adrian z5 Adrian,MI (My Page) on Sat, Aug 5, 06 at 13:53
just cut them down .. let the roots rot in place... and if you feel guilty about it ... then spend a few bucks on some good replacemtn trees and plant then appropriately according to surrounding structures ... are you really willing to spend .. maybe a grand a piece on "TRYING" to move these.. and if the move fails.. are you willing to waste that kind of money??? ... everything is 'possible' .. if you have the money ken |
"I have two oak trees .... growing right up against my carport. .... they are growing up into some electrical wires." These two statements preclude the use of a treespade. I wonder how many of the respondents who recommend a treespade have actually used one? I have! The operative word is CLEARANCE. The arms open up, the machine backs up to the tree and the arms close. The supports of the individual spades are quite high and need vertical clearance. After all four spades are completely lowered the entire rootball is lifted vertically, several feet until the rootball clears the hole. Then the entire tree is lowered horizontally toward the truck cab. You pay the operator travel time one way, depending on how many trees he is moving. I'm afraid that your oaks are going to suffer the fate of most poorly placed trees, removal by chainsaw. Sam |
At 6" a -native- white or red oak is even hard to move with a 90" spade. The ones grown in a nursery are root pruned every year or contained to help in moving. In order to attempt this on your tree, assuming you have enough space around the tree (the machine is also about 13' 6" high folded and while in lifting), you must first root prune the tree by spading the ground at about the tree spade radius 7.5 feet/2 around about two years earlier before the move to re-build the feeder roots. Oaks are tough because they have a deep tap root. Nothing can be done about that. Your chances of survival on this tree is 50/50 |

Jason Aldean will be making history at one of baseball's most historic sites.
Aldean will be the first country music star to play a concert at Fenway Park, the iconic home of the Boston Red Sox. The July 13 appearance will be the initial stop on his first stadium tour. Aldean made the announcement Thursday in the shadow of the Green Monster with an assist from Red Sox President/CEO Larry Lucchino and members of the team who made a celebratory clip for the singer that played on Fenway's video board.
"Being the first country music artist to ever come here and headline a show is amazing," Aldean said. "It's going to be a fun night. Over the last several years, my career, especially the touring side of that, has been pretty amazing. It's been growing. So thank you guys for having us. I can't wait for July 13."
The Georgia native released his fifth album, "Night Train," this week. That title is an apt metaphor for his career, which has been steaming along on a steep trajectory. About the only thing he hadn't attained yet was a stadium tour, and he's crossing that goal off the list.
Red Sox David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia and Jarrod Saltalamacchia welcomed Aldean in a video, and he walked out of the dugout to the sound of songs from his new album and signed the wall inside the Green Monster scoreboard.

Apple iPhone 3G (2008)
It may not have been Apple's first iPhone, but the 2008 update was the first to fully realise the potential of the new flagship iThing. Freed from the shackles of 2G data downloads, the iPhone 3G made mobile browsing a pleasure and opened the doors for a little idea called the App Store.
Apple Macintosh (1984)
Apple's Macintosh hit the personal computing scene of 1984 like a hammer smacking into a great big metaphorical face (if you haven't seen the Orwellian advertising, it's worth looking it up on YouTube). It was the foundation stone of Apple's future: compact form, innovative 3.5in floppy storage media and – most importantly – its graphical user interface. The Mac defined how we interact with modern computers.
More after the break...
Apple MacBook Air (2008)
If you wanted a laptop you could post, the Air was it. Steve Jobs pulled the first bulimic MacBook from a Manila envelope in 2008, a featherweight, wafer-thin object of desire stripped of its optical drive and most of the ports. It was ahead of its time, but by the time the MBA picked up Intel's Core i-series processors in 2011, it proved that Apple had the right idea from the off. Except for the postage bit. That was just odd.
Nike+iPod Sports Kit (2006)
Using an accelerometer-packing shoe sensor and iPhone or iPod adapter, the Nike+iPod Sports Kit let you measure your running distance, speed and pace. It kick started a litany of app+accessory add-ons that continues apace, though the usefulness of Nike's nuggetty pedometer was nixed by the introduction of an accelerometer in the iPhone.
Apple MacBook Pro (2008)
The 2008 iteration of the MacBook Pro established the unibody housing wrapped around its slick island keyboard. Its touchpad incorporated the multi-touch gesture control pioneered on the MacBook Air. It had the grunt to act as a workhorse for creative professionals and the looks to make regular 'promotional consideration' appearances on the most expensively-produced TV shows. No wonder everyone still wants one.

It's 7 o'clock. Time to go home. All day I've been editing Delocated, the TV show I make for Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. My show is not a cartoon, and it is not for kids, unless your kids are into live action comedy shows about ski masked people in the witness protection program, and murder.
I hop on my Litespeed Classic and head home to Brooklyn, where my wife and 5-year-old son await. On my way up the Manhattan Bridge, I pass a handful of riders I like to call "Downhill Superstars." These cyclists range from hipsters on fixed gears to douchebags on $21,000 Colnago CF8s. Their defining trait is flying down the bridge after huffing and puffing to barely make it up the climb. That's the nice thing about climbs. They separate the wheat from the chaff (I would label myself "whaff"—mostly wheat, little bit of chaff sprinkled in).
At the bottom, I begin the final leg home. It's mostly flat, but has one long, slight but steady climb. With every pedal stroke, I start to become aware that I am repeating the same mantra, in my head, over and over and over again:
"Nothing can go wrong-o, when I'm in the Congo." Like this:
Left pedal stroke: "Nothing can go…"
Right pedal stroke: "…wrong-o…"
Left pedal stroke: "…when I'm in the…"
Right pedal stroke: "…Congo."
It's a line from the song "Joshua Giraffe" by children's singer Raffi.
I don't mind Raffi; his stuff is tolerable. But of all the motivational songs that could have popped into my head on the final climb of my ride, I got Raffi?!? I couldn't get the opening riffs of Van Halen's "Panama," or the steady clap in Jay-Z's "30 Something?" Or even "Ain't No Other Man" by Christina Aguilera (not that I listen to her music).
I didn't have time to think of another song. I was half way up the hill and needed to remain focused. So I locked on to my line, embraced the song, and kept my cadence.
"Nothing can go wrong-o. When I'm in the Congo. Nothing can go wrong-o! When I'm in the Congo! NOTHING CAN GO WRONG-O!!! WHEN I'M IN THE CONGO!!!"
Raffi Helps You Bike Home should be the name of one of his albums. I carried my bike up the couple flights to my apartment. I wanted to hug my son, tell him how much his music helped me, hoping he would somehow notice that the hug was a little stronger than usual. But he was in the middle of watching Cars 2 and didn't even look up when I walked in. Whatever. Son, when you are old enough to read and Google your dad's name and find this article, don't forget to say "Nice job, dad." Otherwise, the Litespeed may not get passed on to the next generation.
Jon Glaser is the creator and star of Delocated, which he also co-writes, and is an executive producer. Delocated Season 3 premiered February 2nd on Adult Swim. You can watch it online, or Thursdays at midnight on Cartoon Network. His first book, My Dead Dad Was In ZZ Top, was published by Harper Perennial.

Last Wednesday, Betabeat broke the news of impending layoffs at Gilt Groupe. Later that morning, CEO Kevin Ryan downgraded the estimates we had heard, telling AllThingsD that the company intended to "selectively trim" about 50 people from its staff of 900 over the next couple months.
Tipsters have written into Betabeat that some of those layoffs are currently underway. "People leaving. Sadness. Super uncomfortable work environment," said one source who wanted to remain anonymous, adding, "General atmosphere is terrifying."
Gilt Groupe raised a $138 million series E round just last May and, in addition to launching new verticals, acquired BuyWithMe last October. Prior to the acquisition, BuyWithMe made its own layoffs, letting go of nearly half the staff in order to make the company more attractive to buyers. As Mr. Ryan indicated, some of the 20 to 25 BuyWithMe staffers that came over to Gilt as part of the deal may be among those let go as "they probably don't need that many going forward now that the integration has been completed," paraphrased AllThingsD.
Another vertical that Mr. Ryan indicated might experience cuts is Gilt Taste. Since reporting the layoffs at Gilt Groupe, a number of other players in the luxury good and daily deals space have let go of staffers, including RueLaLa, which cut 60 staffers, and Lot18, a Gilt Taste competitor.
Betabeat will updating the story as we learn more. If you have any information about the layoffs or restructuring, please email: email@example.com.
However, in the interest of fairness I will point out that Gilt's customer care team owned up to the screw up, cancelled the order, and gave me a shipping credit for future orders. It was unfortunate but they did the best they could to make it right.
Gilt Taste offers a great selection of food items but the shipping charges are really onerous and because they don't control the merchandise the shipping estimates are guesses at best. I had a terrible experience with them over Christmas when I responded to one of their "guaranteed by Dec 23rd" promotions only to find myself checking status on the 23nd and the item had not even been shipped.

In early Nov. my husband and I are hoping to take my elderly mother-in-law to a place she has always wanted to go to--Hawaii. Any ideas on what would be good for someone who is very "young" and active for her age, but still elderly (early 80's)? She is not a "lay on the beach" type of person, but she would love to sit at a seaside table and take in the beautiful views. Any ideas from those of you who have been there for a really nice hotel that does not have to be in the middle of all the action (in fact it would be better to be in a more quiet area but within decent driving distance of restaurants, etc.) and does not have to be one of the 5-star (super expensive!) luxery hotels---just something CLEAN and pleasent. We were thinking of splitting the week up and staying on the islands of Maui and Kauai with a day trip to Honolulu to tour the Arizona memorial? Over 14 years ago I stayed at the Royal Lahaina Hotel in Maui and thought it was great, but now I am reading an awful lot of terribly mixed reviews. Sure did like the location of it though. Any and all help and suggestions would be very much appreciated! Thank you all in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Napili Kai Beach resort in Maui is wonderful. In a quiet area north of Kaanapaali Beach, not cheap but not expensive either. They have several pools, a large whirlpool, a putting green, beautiful beach, weekly luau andmai tai parties, etc. Lots to do and a fabulous restaurant on site! Just down the beach is Napili Shores Resort, too. Not as many amenities, but less expensive. Do make sure to drive the Road to Hana while in Maui....scenery is to die for! And in November you may be able to go on a whale watch cruise....highly recommend it. The Pacific Whale Foundation in Lahaina has a great line of whale watching and snorkeling trips to choose from and they do a fabulous job!!! |

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Tax time! President Obama paid less than he did last year
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
April 15th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) It's a sinking disappointment to realize that after doing your taxes to find you made less last year than the one previously. Don't feel bad: It's been revealed that both President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama paid $112,214 in federal income taxes for 2012 on adjusted gross income of $608,611, an effective rate of 18.4 percent. Essentially, the Obama family's income, or the amount after certain deductions and exemptions was down from $789,674 that the Obamas reported in 2011, when they paid total federal taxes of $162,074, an effective rate of 20.5 percent. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The decline was due primarily to Obama's falling book royalties. Both Obama's "The Audacity of Hope" and "Dreams from My Father" royalties have fallen over time, to just under $274,000 last year.Obama's book-related earnings peaked in 2009 when he garnered about $5.6 million from two publications, The Obamas paid $29,450 in state income tax to Illinois for 2012. The couple gave $150,034, or about 24.6 percent of their adjusted gross income, to 33 different charities last year. The largest reported gift was $103,871 to the Fisher House Foundation, which provides free housing to family members of injured veterans. The rest of the Obama's charitable contributions were spread across a range of charities, such as the American Cancer Society, Habitat for Humanity and the National Congress of Black Women. The Obamas also made a $5,000 contribution to Sidwell Friends School, the exclusive private school attended by their two daughters, Malia and Sasha, in both 2011 and 2012. Meanwhile, Vice President Joe Biden and wife Jill Biden reported adjusted gross income of $385,072 in 2012, the White House said. They paid $87,851 in total federal income tax for 2012, a further $13,531 in Delaware income tax and $3,593 in Virginia income tax. The Bidens gave $7,190 to charity in 2012. These revelations come at a time when there is much discussion over what level of taxes the wealthy should pay. Obama's budget released last week included several proposals to raise taxes, particularly on upper-income Americans, as part of a package aimed at restarting deficit-reduction talks with Republican lawmakers. The White House budget includes the so-called Buffett Rule, which would impose a 30 percent minimum federal tax on Americans earning $1 million or more per year. The president has personally championed the idea, saying upper-income families should pay higher effective tax rates than middle-class families. The rule is named for the billionaire investor Warren Buffett, who says he pays a lower effective tax rate than his secretary. The president's budget would raise about $1 trillion in new tax revenue over the next decade. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

Equipment-based Treatments
The Convenience of Technology Tools
By David Suzuki
Posted: March 26, 2008, from the April 2008 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
In 1977, Richard Thalheimer founded a company that would eventually bring James Bond gadgetry into the hands of the every day consumer—The Sharper Image. With the futuristic persona his tools and technology projected, there was hardly a person who did not marvel at the ingenuity he was witnessing.
As a result of this seemingly universal intrigue with compact, intelligent tools and technology, The Sharper Image has grown faster than any other company of its kind with sales that exceeded $525 million in 2007.1 Its scope of goods now includes everything from automated barbecue tools to talking robots to personal hygiene technology, and the meteoric growth of The Sharper Image was due, in part, to its originality and unique retail outlet. However, more than anything, its explosive success was representative of the inherent human fascination with ingenuity and technology.

text: When we heard that the surviving members of Detroit proto-punks the MC5 -- guitarist Wayne Kramer, drummer Dennis Thompson, and bassist Mike Davis -- were reforming as DKT/MC5 for a tour, our first reaction was ''Right on.'' But that changed to ''Say what?'' after hearing that the trio would be augmented on many dates by ex-Lemon-head Evan Dando and singer-songwriter Marshall Crenshaw. What kinds of jams can those cats kick out? ''Well, Marshall is from Detroit,'' says Kramer. ''And even though he mostly plays acoustic, he leapt at the chance to play electric on MC5 songs. He's a rocker.'' And former sweetheart of the alt-rock rodeo Dando? ''He called up out of the blue and demanded the gig,'' laughs Kramer. ''He started singing songs on the phone to me. He said, `I know 'em all. Here, I'll sing one. Listen to this!' I said, anyone with that much enthusiasm, let me get out of the way.''

Apple's iPhone 4S brings a number of new features to the table, but only a few are relevant to gaming. Chiefly, the A5 processor and its GPU increase the capabilities of the phone considerably. The dual-core A5, the same one found in the iPad 2, offers twice the computing power of the iPhone 4. But the new GPU, a PowerVR SGX543MP2, is where it's really at, and it will offer a seven-fold increase in its capabilities when compared to the iPhone 4. But it's all about the developers who take advantage of more-powerful hardware. The A5 processor has only been used on the iPad 2 until now, and with the processor being deployed to the iPhone 4S, it gives developers a greater impetus to create graphically complex games for a much broader audience. The upcoming Infinity Blade II makes use of the A5's processing abilities.
Game Center
iOS 5, the mobile operating system that powers Apple's mobile devices, will also bring Game Center updates with it. Game Center was initially released on iOS 4, and it acts as a social network for games within the Apple world. It records high scores, doles out achievements, and basically lets you compare and share your accomplishments with your friends. But like Ping--Apple's social networking service for music--there was no way to import friends lists from third-party services, which turns out to be a big stumbling block for any new social network. The iOS 5 update for Game Center solves that problem. Game Center on iOS 5 will also let you add a profile picture, browse games without leaving the app, and give you an overall achievement score that is compiled from all the games you play.
iCloud Game Saves
iCloud, which is also bundled within iOS 5, brings some interesting changes for gaming to Apple's devices. Using Apple's iCloud service, developers will let gamers store gameplay data profiles in the cloud, along with saved games. Cloud-saved games should be a boon to gamers with multiple iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch). With any luck, it will solve the issue of having to start games anew on each device. Developers will have to individually build cloud support into their apps, so it won't be an instantaneous upgrade. Apple will give 5GB of free data to all users, and additional storage can be purchased as needed. Apple will offer an extra 10GB for $20 a year, 20GB for $40 per year, and 50GB for $100 per year. The service will also sync contacts, calendars, documents, photos, and data from various applications.
Additional iPhone 4S and iOS 5 Updates
The iPhone 4S comes with an 8MP camera that has quick shutter speeds and can record 1080p video. Two antennas improve the phone's reception and bandwidth. Apple also demonstrated Siri, a virtual assistant that you can talk to get basic answers, like stock quotes, weather updates, contact information, and more. iOS 5 also brings with it upgrades to the notification system, a new messaging service, reminders, Twitter integration, and an easier to use camera.
The iPhone 4S 16GB will cost $199 with two-year contracts. 32GB and 64GB variants will cost $299 and $399, respectively.
The iPhone 4S will be available on October 14, and iOS 5 will make its way to the public on October 12. It will be available on Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon. For more iPhone 4S coverage check out CNET. (Images courtesy of CNET.)

Melrose Hotels
Our selection of hotels in Melrose in Scottish Borders.
Melrose is a very convenient base to explore the Tweed Valley. The chief draw of Melrose is its pink and red-tinted ruined abbey , said to be the best among Border abbeys.
Nestled in between the Tweed and Eildon Hills, Melrose is sleepy little town except during the Sevens Week (Please note: Melrose is the birthplace of the Rugby Sevens ) when the inhabitants are at their best and tourists pour into the town.
The Melrose Music Festival, a weekend of traditional music, is one other event which keeps the place ticking!
If you want to research the area before you book your hotel in Melrose, then our Melrose Visitor Guide is a good place to start.

text: I have been here for only about 3 months, and as I was surfing the other clubs here (Teens Only, Food, Etc.) I must say that our "100 lb. Club" is one of the best, most active and supporting groups at 3FC. With September 11th coming up in just a few short hours, I think we all need to really think about the people who positively (not always thinking about the bad people on earth is a gooood thing!) influence us, and all of you ladies do that for me. Beth Anne, Sue, Dyan, Jenniffer, Denise and Slimdown (couldn't find your first name!) and all the rest of you ladies... PNG, Snowball, JML, Lorelei, gbo, Anagram... you're all great. Let's all pray for peace today and be thankful for what and who we have on "our side." Give Whirled Peas a Chance!! Love, Apryl

I am looking for some advice on repairing a 1780 colonial. I have just had a cement foundation replace a collapsing stone foundation on one half the width of the house. It was previously a dirt crawl space. The last two feet above grade of the foundation are going to be stone to maintain the character from the outside. The house sills on that half are resting on jacks and blocks until the whole house can be leveled. These sills are in good shape. We jacked and supported the house ourselves. The house has post and beam construction. The problem is on the other half the house. We excavated for footing drains all the way around the permiter of the house. The stone foundation this side looks to be in very poor repair as well and we will need to replace the foundation as well. This is where the major problems is. The sills appear to be rotted in large sections most notably in a corner where a post which helps supports the 2nd floor. How does one support the vertical post and replace the sill? The current sills appears to be about 8"by 8". I am on a limited budget for hiring contractors and have already had a structural engineer to look at it but thus far no plans and is charging a lot. |
Follow-Up Postings:
hire a professional by all means before something bad happpens |
How? Very carefully! Probably has something to do with building a beefy temporary support wall upstairs to take some of the load off whatever that post is supporting....among other things. Maybe this is the portion to hire a professional. I've only replaced portions of rotted sills twice, just a few feet, and each time it involved doing it piece-meal and with a sledge to force it in there (after removing the rot, of course). Admittedly, my advice may be worth what you just paid for it - nothing. |
I bought a book a while back that addresses this problem for the DIYer if so inclined. They show how to support this kind of stuff. |

Stella's are great for edging the front of the garden since they're short compared to others. But that's only the beginning. You'll find plenty of places for them in your garden. Remember, rich golden yellow bloom almost all summer long.
About Daylilies, the most popular perennials: It all started with the original wild orange Daylily. Many Americans think the tough old orange Daylily they see in old gardens and along roadsides is a wildflower, but it really isn't. No Daylily is native to North America; most hail from Asia.
Don't confuse them with the true lilies: Daylilies are not really lilies. In fact, they are quite different. As you know, true lilies grow on tall stems with flowers at the top. Daylily flower stems (called scapes) are generally much shorter, and grow from a fountain of grass-like foliage at ground level. Daylilies are members of the genus, Hemerocallis, not Lilium, which is the genus name of true lilies.
Daylily Roots, not bulbs As all good gardeners know, Daylilies don't grow from bulbs like true lilies. Daylilies form a mass of thickened, fleshy roots. These unique root systems hold so much moisture and nutrients, the plants can survive out of the ground for weeks. This survival system, making them tough, and really easy to handle, is one of the reasons they're so popular today. They're also dependably hardy, so once you have them, you have them for years.
Types of Daylilies for today's gardens: The famous old orange Daylily and the well-known old Lemon Lily are not the only wild Daylilies, just the most famous. There are 20 Daylily species, worldwide. Today from those 20 plants, more than 20,000 hybrids have been created, to satisfy gardeners who love Daylilies, and just cant get enough. Hybridizing Daylilies for various colors and styles is not new. Famous old reliable hybrids like Catherine Woodbury--the lovely lavender and yellow bi-color--have been around for decades.
The re-bloomers for twice the bloom. Today's craze for re-blooming Daylilies all began with Stella D'Oro, the now-famous yellow dwarf Daylily that blooms once during late spring (the regular Daylily blooming season), and then again in late August and into fall. Today, there are hundreds of re-bloomers, from dwarfs to full-size beauties.
The latest and greatest: In any group of highly popular hybrids, there is always something newer and better. Some real break-through successes of new types for their times are Daylilies like Victoria's Secret and Big Smile, with elaborately ruffled petals and clear contrasts of magnificent colors.

Comments about American Meadows Re-Blooming Daylily Stella D'Oro:
I'm afraid I don't remember how much I paid for this one, as it was a while ago, so I can't speak to the value. And I'm not sure if this site is still offering the same - an error message is returned when I attempt to link to the product page. I can say that, as a variety, Stella d'Oro is one of the best and most widely available. It is hardy and a proven bloomer over an extended period.
They're Growing
By Pamela
from Dallas, TX
The plants are slowly growing, no flowers this season. Being in TX, I suspect it got too hot too quickly for them to bloom this year. But expect good things next year.

I bought some day lillies at out local nursery, then bought more from your company. The ones we bought from your company are far superior.

I put these around a walkway last fall and they are just starting to grow. It looks like about half will make it.

About Me Avid Gardener
We just planted these in the ground this year. So far, they have been a little slow with the growth, but we have seen a handful of blooms. I'm thinking by this time next year, they should be at a nice size with lots of blooms. They arrived as roots, and we planted them immediately. They look healthy, just need a season or so to reach maturity.

I'm not sure if this'll fill the bill or not, but there's a new movie out from Adam & Eve Productions called "Pirates" which looks very promising.
Judging by the Trailer, it looks like someone actually put time, effort and thought into this one - not to mention a little cold, hard cash! We're already on the waiting list at Blue Door for it as soon as it becomes available.
Has anyone already seen it?
(What I wouldn't give right now for a pirate emoticon! )

Search netted nothing definative for this one. The Affligem Blond that I tried Friday is what I would like to shoot for. I brew extract, so I'm thinking pils extract, with some light colored specialty grains. I've always brewed american style beers, so I have no experience with aromatic, special B, etc. Looks like the hops should be styrian goldings, saaz, or tettnanger? I'm hearing good things about the Abbey II yeast, so I'll use that. I realize that extract brewing won't get me the correct color, but I've been making some pretty light extract brews lately. I just don't have my foot in the door yet for this style, so if anyone has had any success and could hold my hand and walk me through it, I'd appreciate it.
Here's a good recipe from the database:Sause's Belgian Blonde the vienna will add a bit of maltiness, the carapils will give you mouthfeel, other than that it will be nice and light, letting yeast add the flavors. i don't think you'd want any special b in a blonde. too much color, too heavy a flavor. aromatic would add some heavy maltiness, might be ok in small amounts, but i would just use vienna or munich.
here, i converted it to a 5.5 gallon extract version. steep the grains in 1 gallon of water @ 155°F for 30 minutes to do your partial mash. then just remove grains, add more water and do your regular extract method.
Hello... I have a quick question with this recipe. I've decided to use this, and I already have all the ingredients. My question is; If I'm partial mashing, do I add the hops right as I begin the boiling process (ie at the very beginning), or am I going to wait until I add the malt extract to start adding hops. Is my total boil time then 90min? Any help would be appreciated. THANKS!
You want to add your extract first or modify the recipe to account for a higher utilization of hops (this recipe assumes a full boil with the concentration of all the wort, including extract.
Thanks a lot for your help. Turned out great. I used some different, but similar hops. It's a nice subtle Belgian beer that is finished just in time for spring. Everyone loved it... my second and best brew by far. The first one was awful.
