The truck was found Thursday in the San Bernardino Mountains near Big Bear Lake, spurring a massive manhunt for Christopher Dorner, 33, in the snowy mountains.
Investigators have been examining the truck to determine if it broke down or was set ablaze as a diversion. Police said the truck had a broken axle. Investigators are trying to determine whether it was already broken when they found it, or whether it was damaged when it was towed away.
Searchers took advantage Saturday of a break from recent stormy weather in their hunt for the former Los Angeles police officer suspected in three killings, patrolling a mountain resort town in heat-sensing helicopters and fanning out on foot in fresh snow.
The stark blue skies that emerged after a Friday snowstorm allowed San Bernardino County sheriff's choppers to fly low over the forest and SWAT teams to look for tracks and other clues that might lead to Dorner.

San Bernardino County sheriff's Det. Chad Johnson said he and others were intent on finding Dorner but also looking for other telltale signs of his whereabouts.
"There's a million clues in the mountain. You've just got to be patient to find them," Johnson said.
Johnson said the foot search includes mountainous areas that are very steep and high climbs that often end in cliffs.
"It's a challenging day of work," Johnson said.
The search was the third full day of the massive multiagency effort now centered on this resort town about 80 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles. Investigators continue to analyze the burned out truck discovered Thursday on a local road, and are trying to determine whether Dorner torched it or if it caught fire for other reasons.
Officers armed with semi-automatic weapons have been going door to door examining hundreds of vacant cabins, aware that they could be walking into a trap set by the well-trained former Navy reservist who knows their tactics and strategies.
"Christopher Dorner is probably one of the most dangerous fugitives that law enforcement has gone after in recent times," said Clint Van Zandt, former supervisor of FBI's profiling unit. "The challenge is, with his law enforcement and military background, he's very competent with weapons."
Sheriff's Det. Jeremiah MacKay, who began his patrol at 5 a.m. Saturday, said the operation was both massive and tactically complex.
"This one you just never know if the guy's going to pop out, or where he's going to pop out. We're hoping this comes to a close without more casualties. The best thing would be for him to give up," MacKay said.
Police said officers still were guarding more than 40 people mentioned as targets in a rant they said Dorner posted on Facebook.
He vowed to use "every bit of small arms training, demolition, ordnance and survival training I've been given" to bring "warfare" to the LAPD and its families.
(AP Photo/The Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, Will Lester, Pool)
Dorner served in the Navy, earning a rifle marksman ribbon and pistol expert medal. He was assigned to a naval undersea warfare unit and various aviation training units, according to military records. He took leave from the LAPD for a six-month deployment to Bahrain in 2006 and 2007.
Last Friday was his last day with the Navy and also the day CNN's Anderson Cooper received a package that contained a note on it that read, in part, "I never lied." A coin riddled with bullet holes that former Chief William Bratton gave out as a souvenir also was in the package.
Police said it was a sign of planning by Dorner before the killing began.
On Sunday, police say Dorner shot and killed a couple in a parking garage at their condominium in Irvine. The woman was the daughter of a retired police captain who had represented Dorner in the disciplinary proceedings that led to his firing.
Dorner wrote in his manifesto that he believed the retired captain had represented the interests of the department over his.
Hours after authorities identified Dorner as a suspect in the double murder, police believe Dorner shot and grazed an LAPD officer in Corona and then used a rifle to ambush two Riverside police officers early Thursday, killing one and seriously wounding the other.

As preparatory work, we carried out sensitivity studies, tested our methodology using suborbital observations, and investigated the consistency between MODIS and CALIOP derived AOD for eight months of data in 2007 and 2009. These studies are carried out largely to investigate the propagation of uncertainties in the multi-sensor input data into the aerosol radiative property estimates.

Windows treatments for selling
We are getting ready to place our house for sale (Indianapolis, IN). The house is 3 bed, ~ 1700 sqr ft, comp indicate price should be ~ $140k.
My question: at this price point, does adding curtains add value or help sell a house. We have the faux blinds in all windows, but I am wondering about the value of curtains? If I should buy them, what should I look for/stay away from?
Thanks for any advice,
You want to change your window coverings? Will the new coverings block the natural light? Are the faux blinds more in line with the furniture (assuming you are not selling empty), style of the house, etc?
Curtains won't add value, but may help the place look better. If you do buy any, keep them simple and neutral.
I'm not really sure what faux blinds are. Do you mean those temporary blinds they sell at big box stores or faux wood blinds? If it's the former, I would definitely add something. What do other houses in this price range have? Look at the MLS pictures of your competition.
Here are a couple of pictures, for what they are worth.
Thanks again for advice.
Here is a link that might be useful: Door & Window Photos
No, they look fine. The current look seems to be to use as little window drapery as possible.
Indywar, we are in Brownsburg. We plan to list in a couple weeks - delayed because we need to get some things done outside and this winter weather won't leave. :-) We are in a rural area and have new wooden casement windows with no window treatments. Our realtor said not to put anything over our windows. Yours look fine the way they are in my opinion.
Good luck in selling!
When I posted pics here for advice prior to listing, the resounding feedback was to add some softness to the windows in the bedrooms/office. I bought a couple nice but inexpensive curtain rods and panels from Home Goods. Overall investment was less than about $75 total for a couple of rooms and I have to say it did look much better.
I'll just put a before and after so you can see the difference of such a minor thing

I agree that you should get rid of the metal hooks -- and the binder clip on one of the strings -- make sure that everything is cleaned up and looks good. Pull the blinds up when you show (unless you want to block a view, e.g. of a neighbor's too-close house).
I was totally going to say that you should skip window treatments, but thought about it some more (and saw kellie's pic!) and think it might be a good idea to hang *inexpensive* drapes, like Ikea Vivians, primarily because you don't seem to have moldings around the windows. I'd leave the door as is, though.
Yes, check out IKEA curtains and rods, and I'd also hang the rod higher to add height.
(As an side, when buying our first house, we almost bought a house because we liked their curtains.)
Here is a link that might be useful: curtains
When we sold, I made sure every window had some sort of curtain on it--light, open ones, (except where I didn't want the buyers to look out and see that the next door house was only 12' from their kitchen!). Curtains make a house look like a home, look less unfinished or indutrial.
Of course, every sale, every buyer is different, but I'll tell you this--I offered to leave most of the window coverings for our buyer so they wouldn't have to run right out and buy coverings for 40+ windows. And you know what? A year later, they've got all my curtains still hanging--so I'm pretty sure that the money I invested in those inexpensive curtains was WELL spent.
Cheap curtains?--I run to Marburn.
Be sure that if you do get curtains that you check with your listing agent about whether or not you will have to leave them. It stated in our contract that all window treatments have to be left with the house. I didn't realize that until it was too late, so I could have used several of the rods and the curtains in my new house but had to leave them there.

Froch vs Groves The Odds on The Battle of Britain
Carl Froch vs George Groves – 'Battle of Britain' Showdown was the hottest ticket in town and apparently sold out in just 11 minutes after going on sale.
Unlike some sports which have close season periods with little sporting or betting action – other than pre-season futures bets – the boxing calendar continues more or less throughout the year. One of the next major fights coming up in the boxing world is the Super Middleweight clash between IBF Champion Carl Froch and his British counterpart George Groves.
This fight is one which is generating considerable interest both amongst those who love just to watch the fights and those who love to watch and also indulge in sports betting on the outcome. The bookies have made Froch the clear favourite for this one – with odds of 8/11 in some places – but is he really such an obvious bet?
Groves certainly has some elements in his favour going into this fight, particularly his youth and hunger, as he is ten years the junior of Froch, and he also possesses quick hands, which the bookmakers believe could help 'The Saint' catch Froch with some dangerous punches. He also has a great record of 19-0, with 15 KO's, with bookies leading to place him at 7/1 for a TKO. However Froch has far more experience, and will likely have faced faster punching fighters during his career than Groves such as Andre Ward, suggesting he should be able to cope. It should also be noted that the Cobra's defence was at its strongest in his last bout against Mikkel Kessler– and Groves does not possess the quality of Kessler in the ring.
But Froch against Groves will prove that Britain is still a dominant force in the Boxing world.

As for older complexes, this one is well run, kept clean and tidy, their maintenance is always handled in a ti Read Moremely manner, if they are given notice of the problem. It is located in a great quiet neighborhood that is extremely accessible to shopping, business & schools. It may not have the newest or fanciest amenities, but the rent is appropriate to that. In general, the apartments are on the larger size compared to many.

Nicholas Lyndhurst: 'I wanted to be an actor from the age of eight'
Saturday 27 August 2011
Nicholas Lyndhurst has a bit of a reputation for being private. Just about any tabloid story about him – and there have been a few, given he started acting at the age of 13 – will describe him as "secretive" or "publicity shy". This is what the red-tops would have us believe: that in 1999 he changed his own wedding date in a bid to keep it secret; that he doesn't attend premieres; that he keeps bees – a suitably solitary sort of pastime; that he didn't tell friends and colleagues when his wife Lucy, a former dancer with the English National Ballet, fell pregnant. When his child was eventually born, in 2000, the Lyndhursts wouldn't confirm its gender – and on one early outing, even smuggled the baby out of the house and into a car, completely covered with a blanket. Nicholas Lyndhurst? Oh, very private. Almost obsessively so. Given his reputation, it's a wonder that I'm even allowed to meet him, in person, for an interview. And yet, here he is, in the long, high-ceilinged rehearsal room in London's Dominion Theatre, compliantly turning this way and that for photographs, during a break from rehearsals for Trevor Nunn's production of The Tempest.
Lyndhurst is a rangy figure (of course he is; he's Rodney Trotter!) and youthful-looking for 50, but when he folds himself onto a chair for the interview, it turns out that he's not actually that private at all. It's just that journalists could never quite get the story out of him that they wanted, he says. And since they had to write something, 'no story' soon became the story. Yes, he says, he did change his wedding date, but only after the vicar told the press when and where he was getting married ("Astoundingly enough," he says, "there isn't a sort of vicar disciplinary hearing"). When Lucy was pregnant with their son, he was filming those WHSmith adverts that went down so well (Lyndhurst played the whole family, and won a nomination at the National Television Awards for it), and the director kindly, he says, wrote in a clause in the crew's contract stipulating that they weren't allowed to spill the beans about the pregnancy until he did. So he was telling people, just not the general public. Premieres? The papers got that one right. There have been times when he fancies going to big events, just to meet people he admires. "But then," he says, "what's going to happen is someone's going to try and take a picture of your wife's arse as she gets out of the car." Instead, he just writes to people he wants to compliment. He doesn't keep bees, never has. And on the day when the papers ran the 'hidden baby' story, the only reason newborn Archie was covered up was because it was winter. "They didn't get the picture, so they said, 'Why are you covering him up? They're hiding that baby!'. It was February, it was pissing down with rain, and we were carrying the carrycot from the car to the supermarket." He rolls his eyes. "It wasn't a sort of Jacko moment." In the early Noughties, he did disappear from TV screens for three years, he admits – but it was a planned, extended paternity leave.
All this he tells me, by the way, in an actorly, Received Pronunciation tone of voice. It is frequently disappointing for fans of Only Fools and Horses to learn that Lyndhurst is not actually from Peckham, but a little village in West Sussex – and that he does not travel around in a three-wheeled car, but can actually fly his own plane. Although Lyndhurst has done plenty of serious theatre, and, indeed, serious television – most notably the BBC's David Copperfield and in 2000, Thin Ice, when he played the chillingly amoral Dr Graham Moss – people are still surprised to hear that he's departing from the comedic role he played as Rodney Trotter. Some people go further, and are offended. After a performance of The Dresser, in which he was directed by Sir Peter Hall, one man confronted Lyndhurst, saying he'd brought his wife to the theatre because she was a fan, only to discover Lyndhurst was playing a northern alcoholic gay man with mental health problems. "He said, 'You've upset my wife. I brought her out for a good night because she likes your programmes and look what you've done! She's in bits!'," Lyndhurst recalls, adding with just a flash of delight in his eyes: "Yes. Good."
Lyndhurst is very gracious about the benign spectre of 'plonker' Rodney, hapless younger brother to David Jason's Del Boy, which hovers over his career. "To be anything to do with this country's most popular show is a stripe, it has to be a stripe, and we had such fun doing it," he says, marking his sleeve with one finger. The final episode of Only Fools and Horses, which ran from 1981 to 1991, drew in an audience of 24.35 million – half the country. Since then, Christmas specials have lured yet more huge viewing figures, and when a prequel, Rock and Chips, aired in 2010, it won critical acclaim.
Lyndhurst had been reticent about doing the prequel, in which he'd play Rodney's father, a charming but violent man. But as soon as he read John Sullivan's script, he signed the dotted line. Lyndhurst is visibly emotional when he talks about Sullivan's death earlier this year. "Viral pneumonia. Don't know much about it," he says, voice lowered, "other than it kills your friends sometimes." Sullivan, who single-handedly wrote the scripts for Only Fools and Horses for 30 years, died in the process of putting together another prequel special, due to be shot this winter. "John just used to write these masterpieces and I would wait in the hallway if I knew the script was due that day. I would be like a terrier, ripping it apart, to read it in one go in complete silence," Lyndhurst says sadly. "I don't get any more John Sullivan scripts now. I've got nothing to wait in the hallway for."
The legacy of the sitcom still stands, though, even internationally – and this despite the BBC's initial fears that Only Fools and Horses would only appeal to London viewers. Lyndhurst was in Uganda recently (Why? "Oh saving chimpanzees," he says as an aside; the actor has maintained a long connection with the cause), when he got a tap on the shoulder from a fan, telling him he liked his work. In Rome, he was stopped near the Vatican by a group of boys from the former Yugoslavia, who approached him as if he was the Pope himself. They learnt "real English" from him, they said. "Christ, you didn't, did you?" he laughs. He admits that he didn't let his own son watch the episodes until he was old enough to hear words like "plonker" and "dipstick". "He's 10 now – and he likes being rude."
In fact, Lyndhurst junior has picked up much from his father; in September, young Archie will start at Corona, the theatre school in Kew that Lyndhurst himself attended as a child. Lyndhurst jokingly claims he tried to get Archie to join the RAF, the only chance he'll ever get to hitch a ride with the Red Arrows. But Archie is determined to act, just like his father.
Lyndhurst's own childhood background was rather different. His father left his mother, a dancer, when he was just a baby. A few years later, he was hassling his mother to send him to theatre school. He still marvels somewhat at his own temerity: "I was badgering my mother from the age of eight." It was two years before she agreed, and he has no idea where his ambition sprang from. There was no family precedent, he had no mentor, and he came from a small village where such aspirations were as outlandish "as travelling to Jupiter", but he just knew that he wanted to act. His mother finally agreed, and when he was 10, brought him to the boarding school with all she could afford – half a term's fees – in the hope he'd get it out of his system.
"I know it was very hard," he says. "My mum's best friend drove us up to the school, and very quietly, as we went up the stairs, she whispered 'Don't cry otherwise mummy will cry'. And that's how it went." He was so excited, he had no intention of crying, and he stayed there for the rest of his education. It was fun, but the school was strict, with a no-nonsense sensibility towards uniform and deportment. Even while studying, he became a professional child actor and in a short space of time, he appeared in an assortment of television series, including Anne of Avonlea, Heidi, and Peter Pan, before landing a part in the sitcom Butterflies in 1978. This angular youth suddenly became a face to watch.
This year, Lyndhurst donated a bursary of £10,000 to his old school, which pupils – probably coming from situations more similar to his than his son – can audition for. Lyndhurst knows it's a tough career, and harks back gratefully to his old teachers, who didn't dish out any illusions. "We were told on a very regular basis, 'The chances of you making a living at this are zero'," he says. "Which was great. It's almost exactly the opposite of what we find ourselves doing now – 'Come up here, sing a song, and you'll be made'."
Lyndhurst's latest project is something that only a classical actor who'd really earnt his chops would land. Trevor Nunn's The Tempest starts previewing at the Theatre Royal Haymarket tonight, and Lyndhurst says he is blown away by the promises the production holds. "Shakespeare wrote The Tempest as this magical island and Trevor has taken that at its word," he enthuses. "He's making it incredible. I mean, if we can get 40 per cent of what's in his brain on stage, its going to look fantastic." It's going to be a very physical show, he says; Nunn has brought in world-class illusionists to teach the actors the type of skills that mean audiences will disbelieve their own eyes, and that it's going to be a spectacle. "It's going to be gobsmacking." Lyndhurst plays the jester Trinculo, who finds himself as one of a group shipwrecked on an island ruled by Prospero, played by Ralph Fiennes. "He [Ralph] is knocking out a fantastic performance. He's got such an intensity. I'm not going to give anything away, but there are many moments in it when you just think: fantastic."
Trinculo starts the play scared out of his wits by being in such a surreal and enchanted place, but thanks to a barrel of wine, becomes increasingly more and more drunk, so by the end he's paralytic, and couldn't care less where he is. "To make it harmless and real and funny is more of a challenge than I thought it was going to be," he admits, joking that he's been practising the drunken bit for the past 30 years. Although self-deprecating about the part – "I drib in and out really. I think Shakespeare put Trinculo in just as a little light relief and probably as they changed the scenery somewhere" – he is reverential about the process of rehearsal that has brought him to this point. "Trevor gave us two and a half days of the life of Shakespeare before we picked up a script and when you've got someone like Sir Trevor who is so knowledgeable and can explain not just every syllable but every nuance of what it meant." He shakes his head.
This isn't the first time that Lyndhurst has been directed by Nunn. "Funnily enough, I have worked with [him] before, on what I consider to be the ultimate laxative – a live broadcast from the grounds of Buckingham Palace on the Queen's 80th birthday, thank you very much. Ha ha!" The royal family hosted a picnic for 2,000 children, while on the stage a collection of actors performed, dressed up as children's literary characters. "I was Cruella De Vil's chauffeur and I was in charge of the corgis, so I not only had this live broadcast in front of the entire royal family, in their house, I also had eight dogs who weren't actors and didn't know anything about stage craft." The memory makes him a little hysterical. "When the dogs weren't fighting with each other they were trying to get off with the royal family there, right there!" He jabs his finger a couple of inches from his face, and shakes his head.
Nunn, for his part, describes "Nick" as an actor "with funny bones. He has a comic instinct that can't be taught. As Trinculo, it's priceless." Expect to read the theatre critics echoing those sentiments over the coming weeks, possibly to the surprise of the eight Facebook members who joined the group 'Whatever Happened To Nicholas Lyndhurst': just because you don't see pictures of him on the red carpet, it doesn't mean he's disappeared.

The David Lynch Foundation has been in touch with me over concerns on the pre-sale situation. Here is their response to the pre-sale as it took place Sunday morning and what they would like fans to know.
Their spokesman told me they tried to conduct this in a fair and responsible way. They said the presale code, tm4kids, was sent at 11 a.m. Eastern. A few people were told the code would go out at noon, but those people were contacted and told of the corrected time. It took over 20 minutes, and in some cases 30 and 40 minutes, for the server to cycle through and for all emails to be sent. By the time the last emails were received, most tickets had already been sold.
Seventy-five percent of the general admission tickets were available for the presale. The remaining 25% of those tickets will go on sale Monday morning. The spokesman said they did provide an early offering with the presale code to a few prior Foundation donors, but it was a relatively small group of people, which the spokesman estimated was numbered in the hundreds, and all personally known to the foundation. Premium tickets/packages have been on sale for the last 4-5 days and online registrants had the opportunity to purchase those, starting at $1,250 for premium seats and the after-party, though for many people, in these shaky economic times, the premium packages were not really an option. The spokesman noted he received an email that prior to 11 a.m. there were only 20 tickets on Stubhub, then right after 11 a.m. he saw it jump to 200.
The spokesman said they had a lot of email delivery bouncebacks and they suggest some who did not receive the message may have input the email incorrectly during the early registration process or there was some other computer issue.
"This is a benefit concert and we did our best to strike a balance between raising money from premium priced tickets/packages and offering reasonably priced tickets to fans," they said. "It is also Paul and Ringo appearing together." They say did their best to guard against scalpers.
Here is Ticketmaster's explanation of internet pre-sales, taken from their Ticket FAQ.
What is an Internet Pre-sale?
Occasionally, some events will be available to purchase online before they go on sale to the general public. These pre-sales frequently require a password that may be distributed by the venue, artist, team, or promoter of either the event or the pre-sale, or distributed by Ticketmaster.com via email promotions and TicketAlerts. Often, these passwords are distributed to exclusive members of clubs or certain other types of groups and cannot be offered to members of the public. Links may be published on the Event Information page at the time of pre-sale. Ticketmaster Phone Center and Customer Service representatives usually cannot give out passwords. If an event is scheduled for pre-sale and we are authorized to publish it in advance, the event page may list an "Internet Pre-sale" date with the ticket sales information.
When entering your pre-sale password into a promotional page, window or box in an email, please ensure you are entering it in the appropriate box: A pre-sale password is not the same as your My Ticketmaster password.
Internet pre-sales are usually sold from a reserved allotment of seats, which may not reflect the same availability during the public ticket sale. Internet pre-sales provide the advantage of exclusive purchasing windows in advance of the public sale, which often results in less people competing for the pool of available seats. However, Internet pre-sales may also have limited seating available in various areas - these pre-sales are intended as advance purchasing windows and do not necessarily provide access to better seating. In fact, it is possible that you may be able to obtain tickets for better seats at the general public sale than those that you purchase through a pre-sale. We must remind you that Ticketmaster does not offer refunds or exchanges, so you will not be able to replace the tickets you obtain at a pre-sale with other tickets that become available at a later date.

Seven artists' explorations of their experiences of mental illness and the struggle for survival in an increasingly complex and mentally challenging world.
I was lucky enough to be invited as an artist alongside the temps, to take part in the Frames of Mind exhibition at the Towner Gallery,
curated by The Craftimation Factory
as part of their year-long project in association with Recovery Partners. The
project worked with adults with mental health issues creating stop-motion animations
using hand-made sets and adorable knitted puppets as a means to exploring their
experiences of mental illness.
© Amanda Jobson
Janey Moffat Laloë, who founded and runs the charity, invited seven artists including herself, with lived experience of mental illness, to create a life-sized animation set exploring their personal experiences of depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder. As artists, we collaborated for two months in a warehouse space owned by Hastings Furniture Service in Bexhill, and came up with the idea of making a 1970s Day of the Dead-inspired set. We quickly found parallels in our ideas and themes of guilt, hope and redemption emerged in our work.
Janey's piece, Feeling Wired, a life-sized puppet made of giant knitting, fairy lights and floral embellishments, depicts her experience of mania as part of her bipolar disorder. Initially conceived of as a playful puppet, the end result became a hauntingly disturbing figure depicting of the loss of control experienced by those in a state of mania or hypomania, characterised by racing thoughts, risky behaviour, excess energy and a decreased need for sleep.
© Xaverine Bates
My piece, Miss Mascha Havisham Cavendish, is a tribute to the multitude of women over the centuries, who have been vilified, incarcerated and executed due to mental illness and the myths surrounding it. Part auto-biographical, part historical, she represents the pain and hope I experience on a daily basis living with and learning to manage bipolar disorder. The black lace coat belonged to my great grandmother Mimi, and the bay leaves which make up the skirt represent bay's many magical properties.
Despire [1. to despise (Old French, Etymology: Latin dēspiciō) 2. to be aspiring and desiring 3. to desire and despise (urban slang)], my other piece, is a testament to the past eleven months of my life, from the nervous breakdown I experienced at the end of last year and my extensive contact with mental health services. The piece contains shredded blog-posts, written as a journalistic record of my journey, which were slashed and reddened to symbolise incidences of self-harm and suicidal ideations, sprinkled with drops of my own blood from one of these times. The white thread symbolises hope for recovery and acts as a shroud around my pain, while the gilt frame symbolises both guilt for the hurt I have caused and the glory of one day conquering and learning to manage the condition.

Stuart Griffiths' photographs, taken during his time serving as a young British paratrooper in
during the Troubles, show an image of a very ordinary reality in extraordinary
circumstances. The young soldiers, some as young as 18 years old, were
catapulted from normality into a hellish scenario with which many could not
cope. Northern Ireland Griffiths controversially depicted their
lives off-duty, during which they indulged in illegal drugs and alcohol, as a
natural means of dealing with mental trauma due to the events they witnessed in
and around the streets of west
in the 1980s. The photographs, drawings and letters written by Belfast Griffiths
during this time, which are chronicled in his book Pigs' Disco, were aired during his recent show at . He also included
a playful drawing entitled The Black Dog
of Depression, referencing Winston Churchill's tender title for his chronic
depression, now a commonly used term by those that suffer the condition. Sussex Coast

Amanda Jobson explored the now demolished Hellingly psychiatric hospital, built in 1898, which fell into disrepair after closure in 1994. Her photographs depict a haunting space populated by peeling wallpaper and abandoned hospital beds, hinting at the pain and despair of the patients who inhabited the space. Upon discovering that my great-aunt was admitted to Hellingly following a breakdown towards the end of her life, these photographs took on a particularly personal significance for me. Her smaller monochromatic photographs, Exeter Outer, including a ghostly winged figure, sit within silver frames and delicately question identity, reality and presence and/or absence of mind.
© Amanda Jobson
Susan Jean Lelliott wanted to explore her identity as a child, pathologised for her difference by her family, from a young age she was labelled as 'mental'. The cage they made me is a poignantly delicate sculpture of a bird reflecting upon itself in a mirror within a vintage birdcage with a strewn joker playing card and sunflower seeds. By contrast, the paired piece, The cage I made myself, is an exuberant sculpture representing the strengths and limits of her adult self. It is made of woven hydrangea flowers, vibrant yarns and a large wooden bird sits at the centre with a tiny bird headpiece bird fashioned out of wire and the artist's hair.
© Stuart Griffiths
Rebecca Snotflower's brains adorn one of the walls of the set. The first, an outline of a brain painted in garish neon pink, is contrasted with a meticulous monochrome drawing in her characteristically anarchic style of illustration which, on closer inspection, contains references to surveillance, Stanley Kubrick's film The Shining, religion, censorship and sexual imagery.
Erin Marie Veness' monoprints, reminiscent of the raw, immediate style of Tracey Emin, depict lonely figures with slogans such as 'Keeping ghosts alive' and 'We used to be friends', which are largely auto-biographical, exploring her own personal experience with mental illness and contact with mental health services.
We decided as a group to graffiti the back of the set using slogans typically used by the general public in describing those with mental health issues. Entitled The Lights are On [but nobody's home], we scrawled mental, schizo, two sandwiches short of a picnic and other such derogatory terms frequently used in common parlance about those suffering from schizophrenia, psychosis, depression and mania in vibrant dayglow lettering. The panels reference such controversial depictions of mental illness as a Hallowe'en outfit, stocked by a large chain of supermarkets last year, of a 'mental patient' in a straitjacket, which was swiftly removed after a campaign led by mental health charities.

As a group, collectively known as the temps, who formed earlier on this year and collaborated on a street art project on the theme of mental health and mental illness around the streets of St Leonards as part of Coastal Currents, we quickly bonded and supported each other in our treatment of our own personal experiences and enabled each other to portray our issues in a safe and secure environment. The temps intend to continue their work as a group and hope to exhibit in
Hastings &
St Leonards, London and in the New Year. New York

Brutally Honest Oscar Voter Ballot No. 7
A member of the Academy's executives branch tells THR she didn't see "12 Years a Slave" because she doesn't want "terrible stuff to keep in my head," backed June Squibb because of age and history and found "Twenty Feet" subjects "delightful."
This is the seventh of eight "brutally honest" Oscar ballots shared with THR by Academy members, one of which will post each day leading up to the Oscar ceremony on Sunday, March 2. (Also available for you to review: the first, the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth and the sixth.) Beware of spoilers. And remember: these voters' views are not necessarily endorsed by Scott Feinberg or THR.
PHOTOS: Oscars 2014 Red-Carpet Arrivals
VOTER PROFILE: This Oscar voter is a longtime member of the Academy's 450-member executives branch.
My favorites were Her, which is about the future, and Nebraska, which is about the past. Gravity I liked very much because I'd never seen anything like it and I just love George Clooney -- but when she [Sandra Bullock] climbed out of the water I thought, "This is where an alligator is gonna get her." Dallas Buyers Club is a good movie with something important to say. I had problems with American Hustle. The best thing in it was that scene with Robert De Niro; I didn't find any of the characters particularly likable. The Wolf of Wall Street? N.O. I did not like that movie. And I have not been able to bring myself to watch 12 Years a Slave. [I pressed the member to explain why.] Here is my problem: As you know, I am a senior. I have a lot of stuff in my head [I believe this is a reference to death]. What I don't want is more terrible stuff to keep in my head. I have never liked movies that have severe violence. Yes, I saw Schindler's List, but -- Look, I've lived long enough to know what it was like for a person to be a black person in America. I mean, it's not anything that I'm not aware of. I may still go and see it [the film], but I just don't want to. Is that terrible? At 5 o'clock tonight I'm gonna watch Going My Way on TCM. That's my kind of a movie -- even if Bing Crosby was actually a bad person. Is there one picture this year that makes you feel better?
MY PICKS: (1) Her, (2) Nebraska, (3) Gravity, (4) Dallas Buyers Club
STORY: THR's Guide to the Oscars
I just loved that movie [Nebraska].
MY PICK: Alexander Payne
I didn't like Leonardo [DiCaprio]'s or [Christian] Bale's movie. I liked Matthew McConaughey and I think he's gonna win because he plays a guy who becomes a different guy from the guy he is when you begin to know him. But I was very impressed with Bruce Dern and I'm happy for him.
MY PICK: Bruce Dern (Nebraska)
I thought Sandra Bullock did a good job, but Cate Blanchett was on a level of her own.
MY PICK: Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine)
The only one I really liked was Jared Leto.
MY PICK: Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club)
I think June Squibb's performance was wonderful. It's such a complicated character to play -- a woman who seems a shrew and the worst wife in the world, but then you realize she was married to a man who's an alcoholic and not the best husband in the world, but she really loves him. Her life didn't turn out the way she wanted it to, so she got more bitter. And the fact that she is 80 [actually 84] and was, of course, Electra in Gypsy, only makes me want her to win more. I think Jennifer Lawrence will probably win, though; she's absolutely wonderful in the movie. August: Osage County was a bad play and a bad movie, so no Julia Roberts.
MY PICK: June Squibb (Nebraska)
I don't think The Wolf of Wall Street is a good screenplay. Philomena I liked.
MY PICK: Philomena
I actually read all of the screenplays and Her is clearly the best. I liked Nebraska, but that had more to do with the actors than the script. I didn't really like the way they told the story in American Hustle.
MY PICK: Her
I did not see all of the nominees.
MY PICK: I abstain.
20 Feet From Stardom has been well publicized and I liked it very much. Those women featured in the film are delightful. I wish it had focused more on Phil Spector, though, who was the worst person in the world and should have been in jail long before he got there. My friends tell me The Square is one of the best documentaries that they ever saw, but I haven't had a chance to see it.
MY PICK: 20 Feet From Stardom
I saw all five. I like Omar. I also like The Great Beauty a lot, but a lot of my friends who vote walked out on it because they felt it was boring. But I think The Hunt is brilliant; it is about how easily we, in society today, believe lies.
MY PICK: The Hunt
I don't vote for this category because what do I know about songs? The Mandela song could win because it offers a good liberal philosophy of the world. The Frozen song will probably win. I saw Pharrell [Williams] on the Grammys and I thought he was very clever. And I wouldn't mind seeing Her win something -- is Her gonna win anything?

ASTR may not be licensed medical professionals, but you won't regret letting the Big Apple alt-pop duo Operate on your auditory system. (We in The DJBooth, of course, disclaim all liability for any harm that may occur during the procedure.) The group's debut single, the lead effort off a forthcoming EP, finds them, "channeling the nostalgic drama of Miami Vice and classic horror film scores." Unusual as that conjunction of influences may sound in theory, the execution is undeniably ear-pleasing; though bold melodies and glossy, '80s-informed synths (the latter courtesy of crew member and producer DJ 88m) dominate the group's aural palette, those elements are filtered through a moody, cinematic aesthetic that makes the end product more compelling than your average R&B jam. Interest piqued? Then keep it locked; the project to which this cut is attached as let lacks both a title and a drop date, but we'll keep you supplied with further tunes and release details as they emerge.

Zimmermann finds midseason form over six
Righty allows one run; Storen returns from surgery with scoreless inning
VIERA, Fla -- Backing up much of the hype surrounding their pitching staff, the Nationals have continued to turn in stellar outing after stellar outing this spring. The latest came on Friday courtesy of right-hander Jordan Zimmmermann, who is on pace to be the team's No. 2 starter this season.
Zimmermann surrendered one run on four hits with two walks and four strikeouts in six innings during a 1-1 tie with a split Cardinals squad. Zimmermann saw his Grapefruit League ERA rise incrementally to 1.37.

I have not been to Tarbell's in quite a few years, only because there are so many great places to dine in Phoenix and it is not all that close to my house. However, I will be going back again and again. We met another couple for dinner and everything was wonderful. The menu is full of things that I wanted, so I had trouble deciding. Everything we got was perfect. The service was great and the ambiance lovely.

1/4 cup
SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
graham crackers
1/4 cup
light butter
1 teaspoon
2 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
3 cups
peeled and sliced Bartlett pears
1 tablespoon
lemon juice
3 tablespoons
1/2 teaspoon
The topping was great. I used 3 large, really ripe pears and 1 large apple and it was perfect. I used 4 graham crackers because the organic brand I have seemed smaller than most graham crackers, plus you can never have too much topping when making a crisp. It's the best part.
I made this for my uncle, who is diabetic. He loved it. I will definitely make this again! I used 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in the filling rather than 1/2 teaspoon.
13 Ratings
This is a very tasty recipe, not too sweet. I increased the pears to 4 cups because 3 cups seemed too skimpy, and it was great.
This was as easy to make as it was delicious. I didn't feel like dragging out my food processor so I substituted 1/2 cup of quick oats for the graham crackers and used a fork to cut the butter into the topping mix. I also didn't peel the pears. :-)
I made this with regular sugar (didn't have Splenda). It turned out great. I will use this recipe again but may use other fruits, such as peaches or apples. A great low calorie dessert!
Absolutely delicious!! My husband loves this more than the traditional oats topping...and have to admit so do I. I used real sugar this time, but will try it with splenda next time or just less sugar. Just a little too sweet for my tastebuds, but otherwise out of this world. I used about 6 pears from my father's pear tree...scrumptious! Served with ice cream.
Used light butter - think I'll melt it next time before adding it to the food processor for a more uniform crumb topping. Yummy - thanks for the low-cal dessert recipe!!
Awesome! I didn't peel the pears, used normal sugar, accidentally dumped in a ton of cinnamon and didn't add water (which I think was a good choice). And used a different topping. It was just wonderful.

You do get compensation in Australia, through Service Level Agreements.
Don't overlook the fact that Germans speak German, the word "crucial" was not used by them. TFA links to a German text which uses the formulations "zentraler Wichtigkeit" and "zentraler Bedeutung". It seems that "central importance" was translated as "crucial", which to me sounds quite a bit stronger. If they had meant it to be that strong I think they would have used words like "entscheidend" or "essenziell" instead of "zentral" in the original.
To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so.

Herbalism and sustainable harvesting
With the increased popularity of herbal medicines, overharvesting (due to unsustainable wild plant collecting for supplement companies as well as by individuals) is threatening a number of species with extinction. United Plant Savers' list of at-risk plants:
American Ginseng - Panax quinquefolius
Black Cohosh - Actaea racemosa (Cimicifuga)
Bloodroot - Sanguinaria canadensis
Blue Cohosh - Caulophyllum thalictroides
Echinacea - Echinacea spp.
Eyebright - Euphrasia spp.
False Unicorn Root - Chamaelirium luteum
Goldenseal - Hydrastis canadensis
LadyÂs Slipper Orchid - Cypripedium spp.
Lomatium - Lomatium dissectum
Osha - Ligusticum porteri, L. spp.
Peyote - Lophophora williamsii
Slippery Elm - Ulmus rubra
Sundew - Drosera spp.
Trillium, Beth Root -Trillium spp.
True Unicorn - Aletris farinosa
Venus Fly Trap - Dionaea muscipula
Virginina Snakeroot - Aristolochia serpentaria
Wild Yam - Dioscorea villosa, D. spp.
In addition to UPS, here's another group working to increase awareness of the problem and get supplement companies to reveal whether their herbs are harvested in a responsible and sustainable way.
In addition to working with these groups and letting supplement companies know of our concerns, we also need to use herbs wisely and consider whether there are alternatives to threatened plants that are unlikely to be effective in treating a particular condition (such as goldenseal, sometimes added to echinacea products but of dubious benefit as an immune stimulant).
Here is a link that might be useful: Sustainable shopping
The book Planting the Future: Saving Our Medicinal Herbs Ed. by Rosemary Gladstar is a great resource for learning more about the plants on United Plant Savers's "at-risk" and "to-watch" lists. What may be of special interest to the readers of this forum are the herbal substitutes suggested for these vanishing plants. It's a great book - be sure to look for it!
The first plant to ever go extinct in recorded history was taken out by the egyptians, it was some herb and I think it was used as a n aphrodisiac or birth control or something like that. If you look at large animals of north america the white man was actually responsible for far far fewer extinctions than the early Native Americans (wholly mamoths, Rhinos, American Horses, Some six types of Bison, lots and lots really...) It makes sense that if the Native americans had plant management techniques that after a few thousand years the plants that did well with those techniques would still be around while those that did not would have died off, The Native Americans burned the prairies for instance more often than occurred naturally which really helped the grasses, but whose to say that there wasn't some herb 4,000 years ago that was driven to extinction from a combination of over harvesting and more frequent grass fires? There is a type of wild onion in california, the Miokaw tribe used to pull them up by putting a pointed stick in the ground and prying them out, which broke off the side corms and lead to more plants, since they have stopped the plants have declined in number pretty alarmingly, but we have no way of knowing if they drove one or more species to extinction by prying them out of the ground to eat them, this onion was specially adapted to that behavior, not all wild onions necessarily were. If we maintained our current practices for a few thousand years eventually we would hit equilibrium, then aliens from space visiting us would remark about how well me manage our environment.
I do not think that greed, short-sightedness, or even conservation efforts are the sole domain of any particular race or culture. There are examples in of these in any people.
But we can learn from the good and the bad others have done and change our own actions. I keep the "seven generations" concept, which is attributed to the Iroquois' Great Law of Peace, in mind whenever I harvest any herb or plant. If you are unfamiliar with the concept, here it is: "In our every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations." With regards to herbs, it is a way of stewardship and sustainable harvesting.
Actually bren, You are wrong again as usual. Your theory of animal extinction is outdated. climate change and disease is the favorable theory now.Except for the buffalo of course which the europeans deliberately killed to make native americans starve out. How come an old woman like me has to keep a kid like you updated on science theory?
The silliest thing i ever heard. The native americans burned their homes to get food. They were'nt dumb bren.
Thanks for inserting a ray of sanity into this mess,fatamorgana.You are right of course. I respect the iroquos thinking. They put into practice what they preached. Yes there is both good and bad in all groups of people but on occasion you come across a couple of rotten apples. Does one throw out the rotten ones to save the barrel full? And there is some good in Western medicine mainly antibiotics. At this time and place western medicine needs to be completely overhauled to be useful to mankind.Herbs has always been and still is a vital link to medicine. One should compliment the other.
No I am not outdated, I have a very good idea of how this all happened, I know a good deal about adaptation and extinction. The same kind of wave of extinction of large animals accompanied the arrival of humans in Europe, and Asia, and Siberia, and Australia and New Zealand and Madagascar and the islands of south East Asia.
The Bison (buffalo is too easy to confuse with the cape and water buffalo) were actually killed off for hides, the extermination of them did not occur until the development of a new process for industrial leather production, if extermination of the native american food source were the goal one would expect it to follow the exterination of the native americans rather than some completely unrelated trend, and to be bankrolled by people who had something to gain from the extermination of the native americans rather than the exact same individual people who were completely invested in the completely unrelated trend of leather manufacture. You need to look at the evidence, watching a special on history channel does not mean that you are up to date. Corelation does not mean causation, but its a whole lot safer to bet that the two things that happen right one after another are more closely related than the things that are almost completely unrelated in space and time.
I never said that they burned their homes, I said they burned the prairies, a prairie is a type of grass land, not a structure for dwelling. Controlled burns are actually a game management technique practiced historically in Australia and Africa as well. Its actually a very smart thing to do, the bison actually respond to the smoke and come to eat the tender new shoots of grass and the Native Americans would then kill and eat the bison.
