Four new trails available on holidays in Peru
Travellers looking to book trekking holidays in Peru may be interested to learn that four new trails have been opened to the public in Puno.
LivinginPeru.com reported that the new routes in the southern region, which is located near Lake Titicaca, would help families living in the area to improve their quality of life by earning them money from the tourist trade.
Swisscontact had been carrying out restoration work on the trails for the past two years to ensure that they were suitable for trekkers, the news provider revealed.
Project manager Maria Giraldo explained that the renovation had been backed by the Peruvian government's Fondoempleo programme, which looks to provide job opportunities and training to people living in the Puno region.
Anyone who is keen to check out the new routes for themselves may like to consider booking onto the Taste of Peru tour or the Land of the Incas Family Holiday.

Laura Krause's kindergarten class in Chandler is getting froggy this year. The Hartford Elementary School students will watch tadpoles grow into frogs in their own classroom frog habitat.
They'll learn all about the amphibians through froggy fiction and nonfiction books, and they'll write about and draw the sticky-tongued animals in their own froggy journals.
"We're excited," Krause said. "My kids are asking, 'Do we get the frogs today?' "
Krause's Planet Frog project will be funded by one of 101 grants awarded this week by the Chandler Education Foundation, a fundraising partner for the Chandler Unified School District that helps provide money for scholarships and programs that wouldn't otherwise be funded.
The foundation's prize patrol was out in full force Tuesday, surprising teachers and students with the grants. Glenna McCollum-Cloud, the foundation's director, said they delivered the awards in a Publisher's Clearinghouse style, complete with horns, balloons and big checks.
"It gets more exciting each year because the prize patrol has added much more of an awareness," McCollum-Cloud said. "We have great community support."
This year, the foundation reached its goal of collecting $60,000 from the community in the 100 Percent Awareness Campaign. The campaign's goal, which began in 1986, is for every family and employee in the district to donate at least $1, said E.J. Anderson, a foundation team leader.
"Teachers are recognized and awarded because of their hard work and their effort," Anderson said. "It's the neatest thing to see the teachers recognized. There's just a lot of positive energy."
A committee chooses the winning grants from teachers who applied for either $150 individually or $300 for a group of teachers. Each school's principal also receives $500 to use in benefiting students, Anderson said.
New teachers in the district who applied for grants to set up their own classrooms can also receive $100 for grades 7 to 12 and $200 for kindergarten through sixth grade.
Something for everyone
A smattering of the 101 grants handed out this year by the Chandler Education Foundation:
• Special effects cameras for Chandler High School photography students
• A program for San Marcos Elementary School first-graders that teaches struggling students how to read through singing
• Kits for Weinberg Elementary School third-graders to make volcano models and study geology
• A new habitat for two desert tortoises that live at Tarwater Elementary School
• "The Stranger" mock trial kit for English students at Basha High School. Students create costumes and props and are assigned roles for which they must research and prepare in a mock murder trial of Mersault, the novel's protagonist.
• Cactus dissection kit for Bologna Elementary School fourth-graders.

Movie News After Dark: Tintin, Bare Asses, Stupid Remakes, James Cameron's Frame Rate and Juan of the Dead
Movie News By Neil Miller on September 20, 2011 | Comments (2)What is Movie News After Dark? It's not messing about. Just doin' the news. We begin tonight with one of many new images from The Adventures of Tintin. For one of those motion capture, lost in the shadow of the uncanny valley movies, this looks pretty slick. Finally we get to see Andy Serkis act in a movie. Or not.
Movie News After Dark: Malick Goes to ACL, Why Star Wars Fans Are Wrong, Christina Hendricks' Breasts and a Fantastic Challenge
Movie News By Neil Miller on September 19, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly movie news and tidbit (that word makes it giggle) column that is back in full swing this week. A special thanks to Cole Abaius for picking up the reigns last week while usual author Neil Miller was locked away in a 3×3 ft. cell in preparation for Fantastic Fest. No, there was not a reason for it. And yes, he has emerged ready for a bare-knuckle boxing match (or two). But first, the news… We begin tonight with a shot of Christian Bale and Terrence Malick walking through the crowds of the Austin City Limits music festival this past weekend here in Austin, TX. It caused quite a commotion with the crowds, many of whom were there to see acts like Bright Eyes, Stevie Wonder and Kanye West. As a surprise, they got T. Malick in that silly hat.
Reject Radio #97: Winning the Nobel
Features By Scott Beggs on July 6, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThis week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, we pick a dark corner at The Highball in Austin, Texas to speak with Alamo Drafthouse founder Tim League and Mondo creative director Justin Ishmael (and get a few exclusives in the process). Plus, Scott Weinberg from Movies.com and our very own Brian Salisbury square off in the Movie News Pop Quiz. No alcohol was hurt during the making of this podcast. Listen Here: Download This Episode
Austin Advisory: Reject Radio Recording Live at the Highball with Tim League
Movie News By Scott Beggs on July 4, 2011 | Comments (2)If you live in Austin, or don't mind high gas prices, come join the Reject crew on Tuesday evening (7/5) at or around 6:30 CST while we set up a table in a dark corner and record Reject Radio. Not sold? What if we told you that dark corner was in the world famous Highball? What? We already told you that in the headline? Sorry, we have no idea what we're doing. Drinks will be sold by the glassful, good times will be had by all, and a mostly legitimate movie podcast will be recorded featuring the dulcet tones of Alamo Drafthouse founder Tim League. Plus, we'll have a few special guests and a surprise for Mr. League that will either draw a spit take or a cheer of sheer childlike joy. Or both. So come hang out with us. There will be booze (for you to buy) and bowling to do.
Spending a Night in the 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' House
Features By Luke Mullen on June 20, 2011 | Comments (3)It is a known fact that the Alamo Drafthouse is one of the best places to watch a movie on planet Earth. That said, sometimes the confines of a movie theater are too restrictive for the level of awesome that the Drafthouse wants to achieve. The Rolling Roadshow was born as a result and it was good. Junkfood Cinema auteur Brian Salisbury and I had decided to sample this year's offerings together. So it was with thoughts of cold Shiner Bock and hot chainsaws that we found ourselves driving out to Kingsland on a warm Texas evening for the second stop on the Alamo's annual Rolling Roadshow tour. Kingsland, for those who are unaware, is the site of the now infamous house used in Tobe Hooper's classic horror film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. While shooting originally took place just north of Austin around Round Rock, the house was moved to Kingsland in the 90s to avoid demolition. In any case, it is the very house used in the film and there was something eerie about seeing the house on a large inflatable projector mere feet away from the actual building. Being able to glance back and forth and notice small details made for quite a cool experience.
The Rza, Tim League and Elijah Wood Walk Onto a Karaoke Stage…
Fantastic Fest By Neil Miller on September 26, 2010 | Be the First To CommentAt Fantastic Fest, chaos does, in fact, reign. Any attentive reader of this fine publication would know that. Last year, filmmaker Nacho Vigalondo coined the phrase as the somewhat unofficial motto of the fest. Based on a line from Lars Von Trier's Antichrist, "chaos reigns" means simply that at all times, the unexpected and strange is to be expected. How's this for unexpected? Alamo Drafthouse founder Tim League, actor Elijah Wood, Vigalondo and The Rza from Wu Tang walked onto the stage at The Highball last evening during the Chaos Reigns Karaoke event. The following video is what transpired. It is well worth a few minutes of your time…
Tim League Talks Bringing Drafthouse Madness to the Masses Through Distribution Arm
Interviews By Scott Beggs on September 9, 2010 | Comments (2)Tim League is a busy man. Every morning he wakes up at 4am, eats 9 dozen raw eggs, boxes a kangaroo and then delivers a sickening amount of entertainment to the Austinites who are fortunate enough (or in the case of Reject Brian Salisbury, moved there specifically) to have the Alamo Drafthouse in their backyard. The man is also back as CEO of the company with an eye to expanding the amount of theaters under their belt, and he's just announced today the launching of Drafthouse Films – a new distribution arm that has already picked up Four Lions as its first film to hurl unto the masses. I spoke with League briefly on his way out to Toronto. One thing is for sure – the drive and fandom of the Drafthouse is going to be filtered directly into what films they pick up. It's time to get excited, and League is about to get even busier.
Why You Like Tim League Returning as CEO of Alamo Drafthouse
Movie News By Scott Beggs on June 1, 2010 | Comments (8)Simon Rumley's Red, White & Blue is a film about grey areas. There are no heroes or villains in the unforgiving landscape of this film, a landscape featuring characters that make life-altering bad decisions or knowingly do unforgivable things. It's a dense, serious study of unfortunate happenstance, one which implements a brooding quietude throughout.

1970s (46) Compact | Rate recommendations
None. Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Fun stuff - and a quick read. I especially enjoyed the card game with the grim reaper as well as the long distance chess match. Some parts fall a bit flat but on the whole this is highly humorous and entertaining. My favorite: "Death Knocks" A few years ago, I found a copy of Woody Allen's "Getting Even" at a used bookstore, and thought it would be something funny to read. After all, the movies "The Purple Rose of Cairo", "Zelig", "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex (But Were Afraid To Ask)", and many others are considered classic movie comedies. His forays into short stories would be just as much fun. You'd think that, wouldn't you? I know that I'm not very good at telling a joke, but the ideas and the telling of these tales quite often fell flat. A study of someone's laundry lists? The memoirs of Hitler's barber? A class schedule for adult education classes? Most came across as a rambling series of sentences that threw ideas onto the page hoping to make something worthwhile and funny. For example, taken from the story "A Little Louder, Please": "Also, laddies, as one whose spate of insights first placed Godot in proper perspective for the many confused playgoers who milled sluggishly in the lobby during intermission, miffed at ponying up scalper's money for argle-bargle bereft of one up-tune or a single spangled bimbo, I would have to say my rapport with the seven livelies is pretty solid. Add to this the fact that eight radios conducted simultaneously at Town Hall killed me, and that I still occasionally sit in with my own Philco, after hours, in a Harlem basement where we blow some late weather and news, and where once a laconic field hand named Jess, who had never studied in his life, played the closing Dow-Jones averages with great feeling." I re-read that (and the entire paragraph containing it) two or three more times, without understanding what it had to do with the story. And not really getting story, either. Most felt like that to me, that no matter how many times I may read them, they left me scratching my head. And I wasn't sure if Allen were trying too hard to be funny or not trying at all. There were a few tales in the book, however, that made this one to skim through: "Death Knocks", a one-act concerning a game of gin between Death and his next victim; "Count Dracula", a clever tale about Dracula during an eclipse; and possibly the best of the collection, "The Gossage-Vardebedian Papers", a series of scathing chess-by-mail letters between two players. If you're a Woody Allen fan, you may enjoy this selection of tales. As for me, not so much. Having thoroughly enjoyed his two other collections, Getting Even disappointed me. Some of the pieces have funny, even hilarious, bits in them, but this is written at a time when Woody Allen derived his humor mostly from intellectual life, and a lot of the humor just isn't funny anymore - if it ever was. Too bad. Getting Even: If your a fan of Allen's work than you'll enjoy this book. Otherwise you may not like it. If you're not familiar with his work than I highly recommend his prose for their witty, bizzare, and humorus content. In, "The Gossage-Vardebedian Papers," you'll find humor in the trials and tribulations of chess, via letter writing. In, "Mr. Big," I question if the beautiful existentialist really killed God. Yeah, she probably did. (GOD that's too bad.) awkward, funny, weird, smart, read... no reviews | add a review Is contained in
References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in English (3)Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0394726405, Mass Market Paperback)After three decades of prodigious film work (and some unfortunate tabloid adventures as well), it's easy to forget that Woody Allen began his career as one heck of a great comedy writer. Getting Even, a collection of his late '60s magazine pieces, offers a look into Allen's bag of shtick, back when it was new. From the supposed memoirs of Hitler's barber: "Then, in January of 1945, a plot by several generals to shave Hitler's moustache in his sleep failed when von Stauffenberg, in the darkness of Hitler's bedroom, shaved off one of the Führer's eyebrows instead..."Even though the idea of writing jokes about old Adolf--or addled rabbis, or Maatjes herring--isn't nearly as fresh as it used to be, Getting Even still delivers plenty of laughs. At his best, Woody can achieve a level of transcendent craziness that no other writer can match. If you're looking for a book to dip into at random, or a gift for someone who's seen Sleeper 13 times, Getting Even is a dead lock.

The idea of training the allegedly untrainable cat has been occurring to a lot of people around the country lately, says animal behaviorist Warren Echstein, who should know. He's the author of the bestselling How to Get Your Cat to Do What You Want, and perhaps more impressively, the resident animal expert on the Regis and Kathie Lee Show. "All of a sudden it's been the rage, people calling themselves cat trainers and behaviorists," Echstein says. "It scares me a little." But Echstein hastens to add he's long favored taking cats outside in harness and leash, partly as a way to combat what he sees as increasing boredom in domesticated catdom. "Look at the average cat's life nowadays," he says. "Eight hours a day watching General Hospital and eight sleeping. If people have a problem with their cat jumping on the kitchen counter or walking on the stove, it's probably because the cat is bored as hell and likes to be up high."
Echstein is adamant that nearly all cats can be trained, provided they're being trained to do things they want to do in the first place. And on that, he and Castaner agree: "If you want to train your cat successfully," Castaner concludes in his training cassette, "you have to look at things from a cat's point of view." Echstein adds: "The most important thing is removing the human ego. Get on the animal's level."
And Buster's level? Who knows? Castaner has already been to Miami's famous Zubi Advertising agency with an idea. They told him they couldn't use Buster right then, but they'd keep him in mind and his pictures on file.
But Castaner can already see it. He can taste it. A beer commercial featuring Buster. A feline Spuds MacKenzie. Here's Buster on a yacht under the brilliant Miami sun. He's surrounded by glamorous, partying women and men. Suddenly, from the shore, he hears the sound of a can of a certain brand of beer, maybe Miller, being popped open. Buster dives off the deck of the yacht into the turquoise water of Biscayne Bay, to the "Eeeks!" and "No Buster!"s of the women. He swims toward shore. A shark approaches, but Buster fearlessly swims on. He comes upon some surfers and catches a ride in on a wave. And finally he's on land, shimmying off the water. Bikinied girls run toward him with ecstatic cries. They have his ice-cold Miller. Close-up of Buster and the beer. Someone pops the top as the camera pulls back to show Buster with his Miller. Surrounded by beach babes.

I have searched for advice on tipping the foreman, but have only come up with "bring sandwiches" or advice not to tip the GC/owner. In this case, the time for sandwiches is over and the foreman is not the owner. I guess it goes without saying that the foreman is held in high esteem and some appreciation is in order. Any thoughts or experience? TIA |

I didn't give food to the crew, but at the end of the job we tipped the 3 main guys, who work for our GC, and were here 90% of the time. We gave them $500 each. |
Thanks Chispa! That is good information. I was thinking along the lines of several hundred bucks for this job....a gift card to a restaurant didn't seem right. Anyone else faced this decision? |

Geggan wins it for Pars
Andrew Geggan scored Dunfermline's decisive goal as they beat Airdrieonians 2-1 at East End Park.
The first half was a scrappy affair, with neither team threatening to take the lead but the game came to life after half-time.
The Pars took the lead 10 minutes after the break when Stephen Husband unleashed a right-footed strike that flew past Airdrieonians shot-stopper Scott Gallagher.
The Diamonds hit back one minute later when Liam Coogans found the bottom corner of the net from close range after good work from William McLaren.
Jim Jefferies' side sealed the points when Geggan fired in four minutes from time to put his side within two points of the Scottish League One summit.

A Locker Room Torn: Tebow the Target of Mr. Anonymous
Posted by Erik Manassy on Nov 14, 2012 in Main, Opinion | 1 comment
Hello Mr. Anonymous Jets player. We haven't seen you since last season. I thought Rex Ryan banished you from the team's locker room but obvioulsy you have taken a new form and have set your sights on the same position, QB, but different player, Tebow instead of Sanchez.
I woke up this morning to an article that was written by Manish Mehta from the Daily News and boy did it ever stir up the hornets nest in Jets Nation, at least on Twitter.
The prevailing thought in the organization is that Tebow is nothing more than a gimmick.
"He's terrible," a defensive starter told the Daily News.
The article is under attack because people are fed up with these stories from Manish with no sources that will give their name to the most vicious comments. The only player to give his name to his quotes was guard Matt Slauson.
Left guard Matt Slauson, who has repeatedly supported Sanchez, made it clear that the fourth-year signal caller is the Jets' best quarterback."It's not even close," Slauson said. "All the other quarterbacks know it. I have all the confidence in Mark. We don't really have a choice."
When asked about the team's two other quarterbacks on the depth chart as possible alternatives — Tebow and Greg McElroy — Slauson clarified that the Jets really have only one other quarterback.
"We have Greg . . . and we have an athlete," Slauson said.
But could the Jets win with Tebow as the No. 1 quarterback?
"Do I have to answer that question?" a veteran starter said, shaking his head.
Now I started on twitter just going off on this organization this morning. Someone asked me if I'm mad. No, I'm livid. Want to hear it in my voice, go listen to the podcast I recorded this morning.
This is an organization that can't get out of it's own way on and again off the field. Feel any way you want about Tim Tebow, but you NEVER say these things to the press and especially UNDER the curtain of an anonymous source. It's just plain cowardly.
I asked former Jets Safety Victor Green his thoughts on what the players said and how they said it:
VictorGreen21 2 th #jets plyers tht ripped Tebow Don't divide locker rm Th team hv enough issues 2 bring mor attention 2 urselves only hurt th team #NFL 11/14/12 8:34 AM |
e_man @VictorGreen21 Victor, do u ever remember something like this happening on your teams? 11/14/12 8:40 AM |
VictorGreen21 @e_man never. Men put their name on it. Attacking ur teammate isn't cool. N tht case a lot of #jets shld b called out. Lack of performance 11/14/12 8:51 AM |
e_man @VictorGreen21 Victor, this is on Rex (the leader of the locker room), he should squash this. Is this evidence he has no control? 11/14/12 8:53 AM |
I then asked former Jet Tory Woodbury who also played on the same team as Victor Green:
e_man "@T_Woodbury11: I never understood the Tebow signing anyway….." >> but… Do u rip him to the media? 11/14/12 7:59 AM |
T_Woodbury11 @e_man personally nah you don't that's a punk move but I'm my own man I can speak for others 11/14/12 8:19 AM |
Look what I wrote back in March of this year. It STILL APPLIES and I guess they didn't take my advice:
Not only will he (Tebow) be the lighting rod for this team this year, he'll take all the attention off of you, the anonymous player. Get used to it. I personally would take it as a blessing. The pressure is off of you and clearly on Mark, Tim and the front office to prove to the world that this wasn't a mistake. I understand now why these anonymous players are annoyed. Their egos are too large for their britches.
One can say that this over-saturation of the name Tim Tebow is too much just a couple of days in, but it is only going to get worse. I am more annoyed with hearing about "anonymous" so called Jets players than I am about the polarizing coverage of Tim. Hey anonymous, you come across as a big baby who is throwing a tantrum and not getting your way. Stop it already.
I'm not telling you to like it. I'm simply saying keep it in house or keep it to yourself and let your playing do the talking for you. You now live in a circus. Complaining about it and talking to the press anonymously won't help anything. It will only invite more chaos in. Do your job, take care of your business and keep your business in-house. If you can follow that simple rule, it will go a long way to making the Jets look unified. If you cannot keep your mouth shut, I wish you would turn in your playbook and go to the arena league.
Man I hate being right.
Who's to Blame?
Personally I believe that the leadership starts from the top and anyone in a "leadership position" is to blame. The prominent member of the organization that said those quotes in the article should be fired immediately to start.
How can you NOT put this blame on Rex Ryan. He is the leader of the locker room. It's his team. When a player just days prior say that Rex has the pulse of the team and they are unified only to wake up and see this, I have to laugh. No I have to be pissed. Rex has no clue what the pulse of the team is. If he does, he's not talking.
From my vantage point, the team is sick of dealing with Tebow questions day in and day out, so this is what you get. Is it that they think Tim is that bad, or are they trying to defend Mark and support him by tearing down Tim. This is very misguided and really unfair to Tim. Tim isn't the one doing the talking, hyping himself up. He does what the team tells him to do. They never give him the chance to prove himself on the game field and then the players (the cowardly ones) decide to say he's terrible.
You can't base his play on the practice field. He knows he's terrible. He admits it. But look at last year when he continued to play terrible in practice and what did he do in the games, win.
As a Jets fan, I'm embarrassed to call myself that this morning. Truly. It's the first time I have every written these words let alone spoken them. There is no sense of direction with this team. We are bobbing in the ocean with no motor. Off and on the field has been a disaster all season. I said it before and I'll say it again, Woody Johnson has to make moves and they are going to have to be game changers or we'll continue to get the same product.
Rex has lost control of the locker room..just like last year. These anonymous
players are throwing Tim under the bus to deflect criticism from their terrible play.

Hi everyone. I've gained a lot of info from the forum and I thought would give back by posting some progress pics of my owner/builder pool adventure. I'm almost at 2 weeks in since the start of excavation.
First some specs:
Excavation started about a week ago.
Really liked the steel guy we used. So far I've received the "oh man" reaction from everyone who as looked at my engineering plans. Apparently I chose the engineer who designs pools to withstand a meteor impact.
Not too satisfied with the plumber. His work is OK, but I ended up redoing his return plumbing. I couldn't get him back out to make the changes I wanted before gunite day. I ended up redoing his work myself... and it's hot outside these days.
Gunite day was today; 95 tons worth. And it was hot. I felt sorry for this crew... but you end up paying a lot of money for most of the guys to stand around all day while one guy does all the work. They all rush in to smooth things out, but I hope the person doing the spraying gets paid more than the others :).
It's looking a lot more like a battleship than I had planned, or perhaps Squidward's house. Hopefully flagstone coping and ledger-stone walls will add some appeal. My masonry guy will be forming the rest of this week and I'll hopefully have a big shipment of stone and boulders come in on Monday to keep things moving along. The goal now is to finish the job before I run out of money. I shouldn't have let my wife talk me into this. Thanks all... |
Follow-Up Postings:
fyton2v, Never seen a spa plumbed like that before. Hope it all works for you. Good luck. |
Can't say i'm overly happy with my plumber, but the spa design is pretty much the same as a pool I had previously. It worked well. I'm mostly interested in seeing how quiet and efficient my filter pump turns out to be. |
- Posted by BrendaTucker (My Page) on Sat, Sep 10, 11 at 13:03
How much did all of this cost? |
fyton2v: I live in your town and were wondering if you were doing this yourself or what builder you are using. Your yard seems huge. Are you in Old Meadows or Lynn Ranch? We don't have a huge yard but we were thinking of putting a pool in sometime next year. We prefer to do things ourselves but not real sure when it comes to a pool. TIA |
hi QS. I'm in Conejo Oaks. There is more info on my build in the troublefreepool.com construction forum... I realized after trying to contribute to this forum that it's kind of tedious to post pictures here. I'm doing this pool myself... that is, I'm subbing it out myself, but unlike the info you'd get from many owner builders I wouldn't recommend it for everyone. This isn't for the feint of heart and you don't save an incredible amount of money. But if you're construction oriented, go for it. During the initial learning process I did run across 2 builders in our area that I'd recommend. I received enough positive feedback about them to trust their ability to deliver a quality pool. If you'd like... "private message" me in that other forum and I'll give you more detailed info. |
Thanks! Sorry, I re-read your first post and noticed the owner/builder reference - I guess I was tired. ;) Love that area. We were looking in that area, but couldn't afford it at the time. Someday, though. Your pool is looking great. Can't wait to see the final product. I agree about it not being easy to build yourself. DH works far away so he doesn't have the time to devote to checking the progress, but ours would be on a much smaller/simpler scale than yours so we're not sure what we'll do yet. Thanks for the feedback! |
Hi fyton2v - we're in Lynn Ranch and have wanted a pool and been on this forum for probably 7 years! Just haven't made the jump because of the sandstone landscape and that unknown rock clause. But we are finally doing it. We've met with one builder that we really liked and was recommended here. I'd be interested in the two you are talking about. Not sure how to private message though.....thanks, Janine |
sent an email through your contact info on this forum. let me know if you didn't get it. |
I did not and it is the correct email....can you please try again....Thanks, Janine |
Hello! I see your pool was built a year ago in my area, and wondered if you could share your advice on the steel guy and contractors you liked? How did the pool turn out? Thanks! |

Aug 19, 2014 4:03 PM by Associated Press
RUSTBURG, Va. (AP) - A Virginia woman has admitted to using a heated razor blade to try to remove tattoos that police say a baby sitter put on her two young daughters.
Media outlets say 35-year-old Melissa Delp pleaded guilty Monday to felony child abuse. She was sentenced to eight years in prison, with all but 18 months suspended.
Police say Alexander Edwards tattooed the girls, both under age 13, while caring for them at Delp's home in December 2013.
Media reports say the older sister told investigators that the tattoo was of her name and that Edwards used a tattoo gun to put it on her left shoulder.
Delp's boyfriend, Daniel Janney, also was charged with trying to remove the tattoos.
Janney and Edwards are awaiting trial on child abuse and malicious wounding charges.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- Authorities have arrested eight men in northern Arizona who allegedly are non-compliant sex offenders.
A multi-agency task force comprised of law enforcement officers from the U.S. Marshals Service, Coconino County Sheriff's Office and the Flagstaff police took the men into custody early Friday in rural Flagstaff-area neighborhoods.
Authorities say the eight were convicted sex offenders who failed to confirm their online identifiers on an annual basis as required by law.
Arrest warrants were issued by a county grand jury. The eight men each are being held on $5,000 cash or secured bond.
The men ranged in age from 35 to 70.

Are you set on those? Many other fantastic options at a similar price. Model 77, model 70, rem 700, howa 1500, and any savage. If you MUST have one or the other i would suggest the browning. I have experience with a few brownings and they have been great handguns and rifles. Never shot anything tikka.
I would go with the model 70. All american made. And the bolt is one piece as opposed to 2 or 3.
I love my tikka t3. I was real close to the Browning x bolt as well. I feel like the tikkas trigger was much crisper (and adjustable down to 2lbs), and the action was smooth as it gets. I have let 2 of my friends shoot it and they both went and bought one. It's by far my favorite rifle.
Don't promote winchester as all american , american made , Belium owned company like browning. Buy what just feels best and has the best features that you want , you know know what shoots best till you go to the range.
Alright guys im down to the a-bolt composite stalker winchester model 70 shadow and winchester model 70 featherweight

Goodland, Kansas
On August 21, 1997, two tornadic supercells formed in southwest Nebraska, merged, then moved rapidly into northwest Kansas as a bow echo system (Figure 1). Prior to the merger, the two storms produced 4.5 cm (1.75 in) diameter hail just before crossing the Kansas/Nebraska state line. After the storms evolved into the bow echo, wind damage became more pronounced and widespread as the system moved rapidly southeast across portions of northwest Kansas. Although there were some differences during the mesocyclonic stage, the event was similar to one that occurred near Lahoma, Oklahoma in 1994 (Conway1994). This study will examine the environmental conditions, radar signatures, and structural damage associated with the event.
Figure 1. Track of two supercells and resultants bow echo of August 21, 1997.
Area soundings at 1200 UTC 21 August, showed that a surface-based inversion existed over western Kansas with surface temperatures ranging between 16-19°C and 850 mb temperatures in the 26-28°C range. At this time, Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE) values of 1000-1500 J kg-1 existed over the region. A northwest-southeast oriented 500 mb baroclinic zone existed over central Nebraska and Kansas between a low over the upper Midwest and a ridge situated over the central Rocky Mountains, resulting in a northwest flow regime over western Kansas. 1200 UTC Lifted Indices (LI) at 1000-500mb ranged between -2°C and -4°C over the region (Figure 2). By 0000 UTC 22 August, ample surface heating had broken the surface-based inversion with LI values approaching -10°C (Figure 3). Mid-level (700-500mb) lapse rates over Goodland, Kansas, were 7.7°C km-1 based on a modified sounding taken from Dodge City, Kansas, at 0000 UTC 22 August.
Figure 2. Surface-based lifted indices (°C) 1200 UTC 21 August 1997.
Figure 3. Surface-based lifted indices (°C) 0000 UTC 22 August 1997.
The modified sounding for Goodland, based on a sounding from Dodge City, Kansas, using Eta temperatures and dew points up to 500 mb (Figure 4) at the same time, indicated advection of dry air from the southwest at 750 mb. It also showed that a dry, westerly flow off the Rockies existed at 700-600mb with the potential for strong evaporative cooling in this layer increasing the potential for large hail and downbursts. A shallow, moist layer existed between 850-800 mb. A south wind at these levels backed to the southeast at the surface. CAPE values increased to between 4000 and 5000 J kg-1 by late afternoon with 32°C and 20°C surface temperatures and dew points, respectively, at 0000 UTC 22 August. In this case, the system developed in existing high CAPES, whereas, the 1994 Lahoma system advected into a steep CAPE gradient which increased storm-relative (SR) inflow into the system and resulted in a change in storm structure as the system moved south-southeast (Conway 1994).
Figure 4. Modified sounding for Goodland 0000 UTC 22 August 1997, showing Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE) area.
Johns (1993) states that high CAPES are an important ingredient for long-lived warm season bow echoes in the absence of strong dynamic forcing aloft. Once the 1.6°C cap shown in the modified sounding was broken, thunderstorms developed rapidly. A storm-type derivation chart (Brooks and Doswell 1994), shown as Figure 5, was used in conjunction with the modified sounding for Goodland to estimate the probable storm-type of the activity. The chart uses mixing ratios and helicity values to determine types of severe weather associated with thunderstorms. The location of Goodland's parameters for the afternoon on the chart indicated that straight-line-wind-type storms were a strong possibility. The potential for tornadoes was significant as well, and tornadoes did occur during the mesocyclone stages of the two supercells.
Figure 5. Mixing ratio and helicity values for Goodland 0000UTC 22 August 1997 plotted on Brooks and Doswell's (1994) storm-type chart.
However, no horizontal vorticity-induced tornadoes were reported during the bow echo stage. Although mesocyclones may develop along the "bookends" of a bow-echo (Johns 1993), only damaging straight-line winds occurred with this event.
The mean sea level (MSL) pressure pattern at 0000 UTC indicated a lee trough from the Nebraska panhandle to the eastern plains of Colorado. Dew points across the lee trough ranged from 12-15°C in eastern Colorado to 19-22°C in eastern portions of northwest Kansas and southwest Nebraska (Figure 6). An east-west quasi-stationary front existed from west-central Nebraska southeast to near Concordia, Kansas. Johns (1993) found that weak wind-extreme instability events tend to occur along and to the south of stationary fronts, similar to the situation in place over northwest Kansas. A surface to 850 mb Theta-E ridge (Figure 7) existed from Texas into western Nebraska with a developing 25 to 35 kt southerly low-level jet (LLJ) situated east of the surface trough. At 2330 UTC, two isolated supercells formed in southwest Nebraska east of this trough, which is a typical location for convective initiation (Kriehn 1992). Winds of 25 to 35 kts were noted in the 600mb-700mb layer at this time (Figure 11). Winds of this magnitude are strong enough to produce tornadogenesis within a storm-relative (SR) helicity field of 150-175 m2s-2 (Brooks and Doswell 1994). In the Lahoma ,Oklahoma event, SR mid-level winds of 15 to 20 kts (Conway 1994) were not enough to generate and stretch the low-level horizontal vorticity in the mesocyclonic stage of the supercell, as happened in the northwest Kansas case. However, both events transformed into bow echoes after moving into higher low-level moisture regimes. Johns (1993) states that in extreme instability conditions, weak mid-level winds are common in warm season bow echo events. In addition, he suggests that optimum condition for bow echo maintenance consists of strong vertical wind shear in the lowest 2.5 km AGL with unidirectional winds in the mid-levels. Wind profiles the evening of August 21 correlated well with Johns' observations.
Figure 6. Surface observations, analyzed surface pressures, fronts, and dew point temperatures for 0000 UTC 22 August 1997.
Once boundary layer winds decoupled from the surface, the LLJ shifted slightly east by mid-evening. Such a shift is primarily due to thermal wind relationships related to differential cooling associated with the east-west sloping terrain (Bluestein 1984). Similar to a case documented by Kriehn (1992), these storms moved into a region of lower levels of free convection (LFC) where deeper low level moisture existed. This is similar to the Lahoma case where both events occurred in environmental surface mixing ratios around 17 g kg1. Less lift is needed to initiate convection where lower LFCs exist. By 0300 UTC 22 August, this system behaved similarly to Kriehn's observations as outflow produced by the full-fledged bow echo system initiated new convection along its front flank.
The bow echo propagated south-southeast into the nose of the Theta-E ridge over west-central Kansas (Figure 7), then into northwest Oklahoma by 0900 UTC 22 August. Strong SR inflow from a 30 to 40 kt LLJ over western Oklahoma sustained the bow echo through the night. By 1200 UTC 22 August, the storms dissipated as SR inflow decreased and the nocturnal LLJ weakened.

After the two rotating supercells formed over southwest Nebraska, the larger northern cell turned right of the mean flow. By 0049 UTC 22 August, it began to merge with the slower and smaller supercell to the south over Chase County, Nebraska (Figure 8). Storm Top Divergence was estimated by the Goodland WSR-88D radar to be 184 knots as the two supercells merged between Imperial and McCook, Nebraska. Divergent flow aloft of this magnitude is strong enough to produce hail up to baseball size (WSR-88D Operational Support Facility 1993). Spotter reports from Dundy County in southwest Nebraska indicated hail 4.5 cm in diameter fell near locations of the maximum reflectivity on Goodland WSR-88D's mid-level (24-33Kft) LRM product (Figure 9). Both supercells produced tornadoes around this time (0045 UTC) and the Goodland WSR-88D radar showed the associated cyclonic rotation signatures on the 0.5° base velocity product (Figure 10).

As the storms merged, they moved into a more unstable thermodynamic environment. Evaporative cooling in response to dry mid levels helped to generate strong baroclinic vorticity within the storm complex. Once this occurred, the downdraft strength increased and formed the familiar spearhead shape indicative of an intensifying rear inflow jet (RIJ) (Przybylinski and Gery 1993). Between 0130 UTC and 0230 UTC, the RIJ and associated precipitation helped to undercut the low-level updraft which occluded the storm and eliminated the mid-level mesocyclone, similar to the Lahoma case (Conway 1994).
Two major differences arise between this event and the 1994 Lahoma, Oklahoma event during the initial mesocyclonic stage. Only one supercell existed prior to transition in the Lahoma case where two merging supercells existed in the northwest Kansas case. Furthermore, the Lahoma storm did not produce a tornado in its early mesocyclone stage whereas in this case both supercells produced tornadoes. Stronger mid-level winds in the northwest Kansas case most likely attributed to the tornadogenesis that occurred.
By 0330 UTC, the LLJ in the boundary to 850 mb layer had developed. The Red Willow, Nebraska profiler showed this feature strengthened to 40 knots. This LLJ helped to feed in high Theta-E air into the broadening thunderstorm complex. The convection then moved into an environment consisting of a lower LFC, higher CAPE, and a more linear wind profile in northeast portions of Goodland's CWA, similar to the later stages of Conway's (1994) observation of the Lahoma, Oklahoma event.
A well-defined weak-echo region can also be seen along with an outflow boundary from the southwest flank of the storm extending west to Goodland. Furthermore, a strong reflectivity gradient existed along the front edge of the thunderstorm complex (Przybylinski and Gery's 1993). In addition, the maximum echo top was over or ahead of the strong front flank low-level gradient (Figure 12). Fujita (1978) described this characteristic of a mature bow echo.
Figure 12. Goodland WSR-88D Echo Tops (ET) and base reflectivity product for 0329 UTC 22 August 1997 showing radar indicated storm tops during bow echo stage.
The storms continued to move southeast, reaching Hays, Kansas (HYS) around 0430 UTC. Base velocity estimates at that time (Figure 13) indicated the potential for 80 knot winds mixing to the surface. A strong rear inflow notch (RIN) can be seen in the corresponding reflectivity (Figure 14) as mid-level evaporative cooling intensified the downdraft and produced an outflow surge along the front edge of the thunderstorm. However, these storms were moving nearly perpendicular (70-80°) to the radial of Goodland's WSR-88D electromagnetic beam. Since the WSR-88D estimates velocity best when scatterers move parallel to the radial of the beam, this likely led to an underestimation of mid-level winds. In addition, velocity estimates were probably degraded due a decrease of the beam's power density through volume averaging spatially as one moves away from the RDA. Przybylinski and Gery (1993) suggest that such limitations on the WSR-88D can be supplemented by a good spotter network to verify severity of ongoing weather.

Figure 14. Goodland WSR-88D 0.5° base reflectivity product for 0439 UTC 22 August 1997, during bow echo stage.
During the period of transition (0130-0230 UTC), the convective storm structure observed on the Goodland WSR-88D reflectivity loop began to resemble a pattern that implies damaging winds and downbursts, as described by Fujita (1978). At 0153 UTC, the Automated Surface Observation System (ASOS) in McCook, Nebraska took a special observation which recorded west winds sustained at 26 kts gusting to 33 kts. Convective activity at this time was approximately 80 km to the west of the McCook ASOS. Southeast Dundy County experienced wind gusts in excess of 58 kts and hail 4.5 cm in diameter ten minutes prior to the McCook observation (Figure 15). At that time, the merging supercells still had their mesocyclonic characteristics with tornadoes and large hail being the main concern of the operational staff.
The storms began to surge into northwest Kansas by 0200 UTC. A bow echo took shape at that time as the RFD was intensifying. The extent of damaging winds was approximately 85 km wide, extending from Rawlins County, Kansas to Norton County, Kansas. Wind gusts greater than 58 kts were reported by several spotters in this area (Figure 15). Downed power poles, uprooted trees, blown out windows, and siding ripped off the sides of homes were reported near Dresden, Kansas. Johns (1993) states that bow echo induced downbursts account for the majority of casualties and damage from convectively-induced non-tornadic winds.
The RIN and associated weak-echo region (WER) continued to show further intensification as the system moved into Graham and Sheridan Counties of northwest Kansas after 0300 UTC. The system reached the Hill City ASOS site (HLC) at 0331 UTC with sustained winds up to 59 kts and gusts to 68 kts.
The intense rain kept visibilities below one statute mile (1.6 km) from 0325 UTC until around 0355 UTC. Sheridan County to the west reported similar conditions resulting in large tree limbs being snapped off, campers being flipped, and electricity being knocked out at Sheridan Lake near Hoxie, Kansas (Figure 15). The storms produced a 50-knot gust in Hays, Kansas at 0436 UTC.
The bow echo continued south-southeast into southwest Oklahoma. At 1400 UTC, the GOES 8 Infrared (12µ) satellite imagery showed remnants of this system between Lawton, Oklahoma, and Wichita Falls, Texas. Storm damage from this system emphasized that warm season, mesoscale induced bow echoes can be as intense as dynamic-type bow echos, that occur more often in fall and spring.
Figure 15. Storm Data complied in local standard time (LST) for areas in Goodland's County Warning Area (CWA).
Changing atmospheric environments and subsequent effects on thunderstorm structure were instrumental in the evolution of the August 21, 1997, supercell merger into a bow echo system. Potential moisture availability, strength of LLJ feeding the convection, and SR mid-level winds, thermodynamic instability (CAPE, LI, etc.), and vertical/horizontal wind shear all played vital roles in how the convection formed and behaved. A thunderstorm's internal dynamics can change the ambient environment in which it resides in (Fujita 1978), which is what occurred with the two supercells as they merged together north of the Kansas/Nebraska state line. Strong SR low level inflow combined with high CAPES induced precipitation loading at the top of the updraft once the LLJ developed after sunset and fed into the system. The consequential precipitation cascade evaporating in the dry mid levels created a strong RFD descending from the mid levels. The resulting RIJ surged out of the storm's leading edge cutting off inflow into the mesocyclone and developing the wedge-shaped signature.
The Goodland WSR-88D provided vital clues to the convective metamorphosis. The Echo Top radar product showed a migration to the front edge of the convection. Reflectivity products in the lowest two elevation scans gave early signs of a "wedge" developing as the storms moved into the nose of a 30 to 40 knot LLJ. The "classic hook" of the merging storms soon disappeared as the low level flow into the mesocyclones was cut off. Once into a higher CAPE and moisture environment, the "wedge" in reflectivity sharpened and showed a weak-echo region (WER) where the strong RFD transferred momentum down to the surface.
The Goodland WSR-88D's ability to estimate velocities along the radial of the beam indicated the stronger winds associated with the RIJ. Due to larger volume averaging of the radar's electromagnetic beam, velocity measurements of storm-outflow were likely underestimated. Furthermore, the eventual perpendicular orientation to the Doppler radar's beam added to estimations misrepresenting actual wind. Even so, WSR-88D velocity products were instrumental in estimating downdraft potential.
The RIJ cutoff of SR low level inflow into the merging storms dissipated the mesocyclone, leading to a more multicellular structure. Consequently, after the RIN developed on the base reflectivity scan, straight-line wind damage began to occur. A mesoscale observation network (mesonet) combined with a well-trained spotter network were invaluable when confirming signatures on radar. This convective event demonstrated that warm season bow echoes can be just as intense as dynamic-type fall and spring systems. Storm damage from this warm season event documents how bow echoes, in general, can produce destructive winds and can pose a serious threat.

We have been on parentprofiles.com for about 2 months. We were contacted by an agengy 2 weeks ago and they were collecting profiles for a birthmom in our area. We sent ours in and she chose us. We met and she is wonderful, the baby is due Nov. 1 and we cant wait!! more ...
You're in the middle of college, and you're pregnant. Or you're in the military. Or you are the victim of rape. Or the pregnancy was from a just-broken relationship. There are dozens of reasons a woman may find herself contemplating what to do about an unplanned pregnancy. And with any pregnancy, there are three choices: parenting the baby, placing it for adoption, or abortion.
The first thing to remember is that it may not be so bad to have an unexpected baby. There are some government programs in place to help women who find themselves unwed mothers. Also your family and significant other may not be so unhappy about your unplanned pregnancy as you expect them to be. Be honest with everyone around you, and accept with gratitude any help they offer.
The second thing to remember is that the choice about what to do with an unplanned pregnancy is, by law, yours. The government cannot pay for an abortion, but it is your right to have one if you want one, at least within the first three months of your pregnancy. There are hundreds of thousands of loving homes that would be happy to take your unplanned baby as an adoptee. And if you choose to have your baby, though this is a difficult path to choose, it is not a road without rewards.
Even though you may be in shock after finding out about your unplanned pregnancy, you need to move as quickly as you can toward making your decision; this is because both prenatal care and abortions should be taken care of as quickly as possible. You can find confidential help for this decision in several places. The traditional place is Planned Parenthood; this hundred-year-old organization can give you unbiased, non-judgmental advice about and assistance toward what you need to do for your pregnancy, and they can help you to prevent any future ones.
If you're a student at a public or private university, your university medical office can also give you advice and help you find an unbiased counselor to help make your decision. (You should also remember if you're a college student that an unplanned pregnancy is not the end of your college career, though if you keep your baby it will almost certainly make your life more difficult.)
You should not forget your family. Though you may think that an unplanned pregnancy will disappoint or distress your family, they are the people who love you, and will probably be there to help you with whatever decision you make. Unless there's a very good reason not to, your family is the best source of advice and help you are likely to find.

Say no to tight circumcision. It stinks. Why would a doctor do this in this day and age? In the 1950 and 1960 the doctors hacked the baby boys. No, no, no to tight circumcision. Clean the penis up if girls want it to look good but not a tight hack job. I hate it tight.
So to mothers of baby boys, if you think how it would feel to have the skin next to your clitoris cut (hacked) off, how would that feel the rest of your life? It stinks, so no to tight circumcisions.
