Hey Friends. I'm gonna talk a bit about the Allen fam today. Some of you may have noticed that I'm not posting as frequently as I was a few months ago. There's a good reason for that: our youngest Gus has been taking up a lot of my days. We've been taking trips to the zoo, visiting the library, going to IKEA for fun, running errands together, you name it. Now that his older brother is at kindergarten every day it has been nice having some one-on-one time together, and we've had a blast. READ MORE40 comments
You guys, something big happened earlier this week. My eldest son/dude started kindergarten. That is a crazy huge milestone for both him and me. I'm so totally excited for him as he's been way ready to start school. He has one of those funny summertime birthdays and you can choose to send the kids when they are either five or six, we decided to send him when he was six, because it was good to have him around for just another year. However, he's been out of his mind this summer - a ball of READ MORE2 comments
We spent Tuesday celebrating our little guy, Gus' 3rd birthday! If you haven't been keeping track, that's 2 birthdays in less than 2 weeks. We've been busy! It's always been very important for me to give the kids killer birthdays that are each their own special day, even though they share birthdays so close together. Me and my young bro have birthdays that are 3 days apart, so I understand the importance of separate birthdays. Not wanting to impose on our friends and family during the busy READ MORE7 comments
Guys, I may have been a little MIA this week. We've been busy celebrating the birthday of our young man, Finn. He's six now you guys, that's super old. If you've been coming around this blog for awhile now you probably already know that Finn shares a birthday with his good buddy, Elsa, who turned 5 yesterday (also super old). Elsa and Finn have grown up together, they are the oldest kids of all our friends and thankfully they enjoy each others company because their parents hang out together READ MORE11 comments
Oh man! It downpoured for 15 minutes late yesterday afternoon, and as soon as the rain was over the kids went out to splash in some puddles. Typically they like to truck through the puddles at a million miles an hour trying to make as much sweet spray as they can. They like me to take videos of them so they can see how cool it/they look(s). So I obliged, I ran inside to get my phone because that's how I take videos (duh). I used to use my camera to capture moments, but now I use my always-at-the-ready READ MORE2 comments

Drugs.com has a good Multiple Sclerosis support group (but this is online only). If your sister has access to the internet she should be able to find other members asking relevant questions here:
In South Africa, I'm not sure where you can find support groups, sorry.
We do have access to the internet. The thing is my sisters hand eye co ordination is a little off. That is why im searching for a support group that I can take her to. But thank you for the response.

Most of the suppliers sell very young ones which are effectively an espalier with just one layer and you will need to make a post and wire system to continue to tie them in and prune them properly. I would estimate it would be 3 years before they would have grown enough to begin fruiting. You can buy older ones which have been pre-trained and those are very expensive but should fruit within a couple of years (you would remove any fruits the first year after planting to allow them to establish their roots.)
The leaves look right for Honesty - maybe it's just not sent up the flowers yet?
Looks like oxalis to me (Oxalis pes-caprae) variously known a Bermuda butter cup and dozens of other names. A seed may have got in with the ones you bought or by other means - the pods 'fire' seeds quite some distance!
One thing I do now is remove the flowers as soon as a baby tomato is forming - sometimes the dead flower hangs on to a small stalk (the stigma from the flower I presume) and I noticed that the fallen ones often quickly rot. I somehow doubt this is the cause, but it takes just seconds and I don't seem to get BER much these days..
Hi Alan, after pasting a link, hit the Return/Enter key - this then activates it so it becomes clickable. Not obvious but easy once you know.
Several of us on here have honey fungus in our gardens, ERB, and have to live with it.
The RHS lists are very useful. My advice is to dig out as much root as possible from those things which have been killed and certainly never leave stumps as these serve as a home-base for HF. Regular cultivation of the soil in affected areas seems to help too as this breaks the rhizomes which is how HF spreads to other trees and shrubs.
You might find this factsheet useful:
Good luck and don't despair!
It's almost certainly plum moth. Although you can't save this year's crop, now you know the culprit you can take action early next year. Put up some pheromone traps and as soon as you start to see the right number of male plum moths caught on the sticky paper inside (the traps come with instructions), you can spray against the caterpillars before they burrow into the fruit. See the RHS advice on dealing with this:
A little, yes! I don't dip into the chat threads much otherwise I might not get anything else done! I'm on hols for a fortnight and keep dipping-in several times a day instead of hiring that skip or ripping out that old fireplace etc.
If there's no sign of Honey fungus, did you have any issues with flooding over the Winter? If the ground is waterlogged for a long time, tree roots can actually drown and will then rot off.
The free version of MBAM is completely free forever. However, you have to make sure that during the installation you uncheck the trial option. These days even Adobe try and install unwanted stuff (like browser toolbars and Chrome) unless you untick boxes during the installation. It's a bit sneaky but is now standard behaviour it seems.

Japanese animation, video games, and manga have attracted fans around the world. The characters, the stories, and the sensibilities that come out of these cultural products are together called Japan Cool. This is not a sudden fad, but is rooted in manga-Japanese comics-which since the mid-1940s have developed in an exponential way. In spite of a gradual decline in readership, manga still commands over a third of the publishing output. The volume of manga works that is being produced and has been through history is enormous. There are manga publications that attract readers of all ages and genders. The diversity in content attracts readers well into adulthood. Surveys on reading practices have found that almost all Japanese people read manga or have done so at some point in their lives. The skills of reading manga are learned by readers themselves, but learned in the context of other readers and in tandem with school learning. Manga reading practices are sustained by the practices of other readers, and manga content therefore serves as a topic of conversation for both families and friends.Moreover, manga is one of the largest sources of content for media production in film, television, and video games. Manga literacy, the practices of the readers, the diversity of titles, and the sheer number of works provide the basis for the movement recognized as Japan Cool. Reading Japan Cool is directed at an audience of students of Japanese studies, discourse analysts, educators, parents, and manga readers.

Replace Thermostat Help
I'm trying to change out my old Trane Weathertron Thermostat with a Carrier Thermostat. Below is the information I know about both (which isn't much):
Trane Weathertron Baystat239A - Currently there are eight wires hooked up to this thermostat. Those wires are below with my understanding of what each of them are based on looking through the web.
X2 - Emergency Heat
O - Switches the heat pump from cooling to heating
G - Fan
Y - Compressor in both heating and cooling
T - Outdoor temperature compensating thermostat sensor
R - Hot power
W - Aux heat
U - No wires connected
F - No wires connected
B - Common
The thermostat I'm replacing the Trane thermostat with is a Carrier Comfort Series Non-Programmable (33CSCNACHP-01) thermostat.
Rc - 24V Cooling equipment
Rh - 24V Heating equipment
W/W1 - Heating
C - Common
G - Fan
Y - Cooling
O/B - Reversing Valve
Y1 - Not used
Can anyone help me figure out what goes to what? I obviously have very little idea about these but I'm remotely handy so I figured I could replace it myself...Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am curious as to why you chose a Carrier professional non-programmable 2-stage thermostat as a replacement. I would like to help you but I can't find an installation manual. There may also be some nuances with the Trane heat pump that need to be taken into consideration.
Consider buying an Honeywell DIY heat pump compatible thermostat. They have good instruction and an 800 number help line you can call if you have questions.

Life is good again for Riverdale Baptist coach Lou Wilson. After going six games without his top two scorers, Nigel Johnson and Khary Doby, and another starter, Carlton Carter, due to academic issues, Wilson has his stars again, and the Crusaders have their swagger.
"That changes a lot, especially the offense," Johnson said after the Crusaders beat Miller School of Abermarle 71-64 Saturday in the Presidential Hoopfest at Northwestern High School in Hyattsville. "I mean, when we were out, the defense was still pretty good but we struggled getting points on the board because we lost our two main scorers so when we came in I think I just made everything flow a little bit easier for us."
Not that life was ever all that difficult for Wilson. Any griping with the lineup he oversees, even without the pair of Division-I recruits active, would sort of be like complaining about being stuck on a crippled cruise ship: it's still a cruise ship. And Wilson still had 6-foot-7 athletic swingman and DePaul recruit Ronald Whitaker and 6-foot-10 rebounding machine Chinanu Onuaku, a junior holding offers from Virginia Tech, Connecticut, Seton Hall, and Xavier among a host of others.
"We still had a lot of firepower," Wilson said. "With our big scoring guy with Ronald Whitaker being athletic and scoring and getting to the basket and Chinanu Onuaku, the best defensive rebounder in the area … he's a stat sheet stuffer. We have a lot of firepower even without those three."
But what a difference a senior shooting guard with no apparent limit to his range and a 6-foot-6 forward can make. Johnson finished the day with 30 points on four 3-pointers — what he calls his second-best game of the year, behind a 39-point performance against National Christian — while Doby was the only other Crusader in double-digits with 12.
"It felt good, getting back with the team," said Doby, a North Carolina A&T recruit. "They was doing good without me but it's good to get back, get our chemistry together."
Johnson admitted he was slightly out of shape in his return from the suspension two games ago. Neither him nor Doby were allowed to practice for the first week of the suspension and couldn't play in a game for another week after that. On Saturday, however, neither showed much sign of fatigue, consistently strong on both ends throughout.
"I was a little out of shape but I just kept working and that last game, National Christian, and I practiced the rest of the week and then Princeton Day I felt like I got my legs back," Johnson said. "Now I just play normal."
Wilson will have his scorers during next week's inaugural Capital Beltway Athletic Association playoffs, which Riverdale is currently in a three-way tie for the top seed with National Christian and Princeton Day. And he'll need them. Even with the duo, Riverdale lost to the Storm on Friday and split a series with National Christian.
"We had lost two in a row to teams that we already beat," Johnson said. "So I think winning this game made it feel like we're getting back on track."

So here goes...
Time: Fall of 1976
Location: Outside of Chilhowie, Va. (Smyth County)
During that time, we live in a small house on a gravel road about 5 miles or so S or SW of Chilhowie. The house we lived in was directly across the road there was the foothill of the Jeffersons National Forest. Behind the house were a field and a small stream. At that time, there were just a few houses in the area. The nearest neighbor was about 1 mile away in each direction. Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of the road. We only lived there for two months until a condominium was available in Marion, Va. I search Mapquest to see if could help me recall the name of the road but unfortunately it didnt.
Weather: Warm 60 degrees and clear. No wind that I remember.
Time of year: Early Fall
A friend and I made plans to go hunting on a fall Saturday morning. We were going to hunt in the mountains across from where I lived at that time. Very early that Saturday morning, my friend called to cancel due to his wife being called in to work and he had to baby-sit. I was very dissappointed. I was excited about hunting and did not want to call off the trip so I decided to go hunting alone against the advice of the my friend. I had just move to Chilhowie from the Columbus, Ohio just a month before and was looking forward to hunting in the area. We had nothing like this type of wilderness in central Ohio and I really wanted to go hunting and to walk the mountains so I went anyway. I now wished I didn't.
Since the slope in front of my house is very steep, I drove several miles down the road to an area where there is a gap that was easier to climb. I had a 12 gauge shotgun that held 5 shells (buckshot), a backpack with a thermos of coffee, sandwich and some extra ammunition. I also had binoculars and a .45 SW in the trucks glove compartment. I did not take them with me. I didnt think I would need more than a 12 guage.
I spent about an hour zig zag climbing the mountain gap when I came to a level clearing near the top of one of the small peaks where I stopped to catch my breath. As I looked around, I saw in the distance what appeared to be a green teepee just inside of the wood line next to a tree. I was curious what it was so I walked over to take a look at the structure. I was cautious since I knew that there were moonshine stills in the mountain and that moon-shiners did not like people anywhere near their stills. As I approached it, I saw that it was constructed with a bunch of branches stacked against several limbs of two small trees that were bent to the ground. The branches were obviously torn from trees or bushes very recently since the leaves were still fresh and green. The end of the branches was still sticky with tree sap. I could see an opening and more green leaves on the ground inside of the structure and it looked as though it has been slept in recently. It was apparent that someone made this thing and was using it as a shelter. I thought there just might be a moonshine still around nearby and that those taking care of the still might have used this to catch a nap or use for shelter. I thought that it would probably be wise to move to leave the area.
I walked another half hour through the woods on a path on an angle toward where I came from, when I came to another opening to a nearby meadow or grassy area. When I arrived at this opening, I decided to take a break and have some coffee. I sat down against a tree, leaned back and was enjoying my coffee when some strange things began to happen. As I was sitting there, something small hit me on top of the head. At first, I thought it was a nut from the tree but when it fell into my lap I saw it was a smooth round stone about the size of a quarter. As I was looking at the stone on my lap, another stone, a little larger hit me in the arm. The stones came from the left rear side of the tree from the grassy tree line at the edge of the woods about 20-25' away. This both puzzled me and frightened me. I jumped up and grabbed my shotgun. I yelled out very loudly that if someone was playing a joke, it wasnt smart to throw stones at a guy with a 12 gauge shotgun. I have a hearing problem, but back then my hearing was better than it is today. I listened and looked around to see if anyone was out there. I did not hear or see anything. I then decided it was time to get the hell out of there. I picked up my backpack and started across the meadow when a flurry of about 3 or 4 egg sized rocks went flying by my head with one striking my backpack. I felt that someone was trying to hurt me now and I was pissed. I immediately turned and fired two shots in the air and yelled for the stone thrower to grow some balls and come out. I stood there for about 2 minutes looking into the woods and the tree line to try to see who in the hell was throwing those stones or if anyone would step out and apologize for a bad joke. I was angry as well as frightened. No one came out or said anything.
Just to my right was a small stream in the middle of a gully that curved around into the forest behind the tree that I was sitting under just a few minutes ago. I decided that I would walk up this gully to see if it would take me behind of whoever was throwing the stones hoping I could find this person. As I was walking in the gully, I came to an area where there was a very nasty foul odor. It was so strong that it stopped me in my tracks and made me cover my face with a glove to mask the smell. It smelled like a combination of really rancid feces combined with a wet dog smell. It was so strong that I look all over the ground around of me to see if I could find something that was responsible for making that smell. I walked forward very carefully looking both at the ground and the woods in front of me. If it was dead animal or dung on the ground I definitely did not want to step in it. The smell was nauseating. When I came to the area about 30 yards behind of the tree that I previously sat under, I slowly walked up the grade to see if I could sneak up and surprise whoever was throwing the rocks. As I walked up the grade toward the tall grass on the tree line, the horrible smell became even stronger. I then came to an area where the grass was matted down and found a pile of rocks, some being as big as a baseball, with two or three the size of a basketball that obviously came from the stream I just walked by. The stones were still wet.
After seeing these rocks, I was very puzzled and was beginning to become frightened. I knew that someone was just there and I decided it was time to get the hell out of there. Thats when all hell broke loose.
As I started to walk away there was an EXTREMELY loud growl/howl that sounded like it was right behind of me. The sound was so loud that my eyeballs vibrated. I ducked and spun around and pointed my shotgun in the direction of the sound. As I spun around, about 30 feet away, in the high grass near the area I just left, I saw a very large creature or person standing near the area where I found the wet stones. I did not know what the hell I was looking at. Just so you know, back in 1976 I have never heard of or knew anything about Big Foot. I had absolutely no frame of reference to identify what I was looking at. The first thing I thought was bear, but I immediately discarded that thought - it was not a bear. Then I thought it was a gorilla but I thought what the hell is a gorilla doing in the mountains, but as I starred at it, I realized it looked far too human to be a gorilla. Then I thought it might be a "wild man" or a hermit. My mind was spinning. I had no idea what it was. My mind could not make any sense of what I saw. It was extremely tall and the hair on its head was rounded over as a crest. That is what made me first think it was a gorilla. But everything else looked to be mostly human but far, far larger. It was massive and very muscular. It was covered with dark brown coarse looking hair about 6 long with less hair on the face and somewhat less hair on the chest. The face is what looked to be more human or part human and part ape. Its eyes were dark (did not see any whites) and the nose was wide and flat, but still looked very human. The mouth was wide and the lips were somewhat thin but they still also looked very human in appearance. The skin on the face was dark brown with a wide jaw and chin. The eyebrow ridge stuck out more than a human. The head and shoulders looked like a bodybuilder's physique. Its arms were far longer than a mans arm. It looked to extend down to just above its knees. You could see some dark brown on the chest and for that reason my impression is that it was a male, not a female creature. It sort of looked like the picture of a Neanderthal you see in the history books, except it had far more hair.
During that time, I was stunned and frozen in my tracks. This thing then snarled and growled a low pitch menacing growl. It lips pulled up when it snarled and I could see the teeth were also human in appearance, though much bigger. The look on its face left no doubt that it was angry - and when it took two quick steps toward me, I turned and ran faster than I ever had in my entire life. I could tell from the crashing and stomping behind of me that it was chasing me. I did not think that my shotgun had a chance in hell of dropping that thing otherwise I would have stopped and shot. I am not sure that the .45 I left in my truck would have stopped it. I just kept on running for what seems like forever. I could tell that it was getting closer but I did not want to turn and look though I did glance back a couple of times to see if it was gaining on me. I could hear what sounded like limbs breaking. As I was running down the mountain gap (the way I come up) a limb about as big as my arm came flying by my head. I didn't slow down. I then turned from the path down the gap that I was running on to a shortcut down a very steep side of the mountain toward the road. I ran/slid mostly slid- down the side of the mountain. I twice took a quick glimpse over my shoulder and I could see that it was behind of me and getting closer. It appeared to be 2 or 3 steps behind of me. I had a feeling that he could easily catch up but was maintaining a distance from me.
It was a long way down to the road, but about half way down the mountain, I could see my pickup truck parked along the road about 200 yards away. I angled toward the truck. When I got to the bottom, I ran to the truck and tried to open the door when I realized that my keys were in the backpack, which was torn open during my descent down the side of the mountain. I almost panicked trying to find the keys. I could not bring myself to look to see where the creature was. I quickly found the keys, threw the pack on the road, and unlocked the truck door and glove box to get the .45. I turned expecting to see this thing beside of the truck or reaching in to grab me. However, this thing had stopped about 30 yards away under a tree that I just ran past toward the truck. It was standing there with it arm holding on the branch above its head in a way a person would while resting. It was amazing to see how big the arms were on this thing. I still could not see anything below mid thighs since it was standing in the tall grass by the tree. I could tell that it was easily 7 tall or more base on the height of the limb, which was about 10-11 about the ground. I was thoroughly winded and breathing very hard and sucking air but it did not look like it was breathing hard at all. It still had a very angry look on its face and the lips were still pulled back in a snarl - but it did not move past that tree. I got the feeling it did not want to come out onto the road. I debated taking a shot at it with the .45 but I was afraid of provoking it. I also think it was the fact that it looked too human and I just couldnt do it. However, if it would have come toward the truck, I would have shot it and emptied my .45 no doubt in my mind. But while it was standing still, I couldnt shoot. I felt safe in the truck with the .45. I sat there for a few more seconds looking at it when I took a pair of binoculars off of the seat to get a close up look at its face. When I looked through the binoculars, it had turned its head away from me looking upward toward the slope of the mountain. All I saw was the back of its head. I dropped the binoculars down to see what it was looking at. Up the mountain side, I could tell that something was coming down the side of the mountain really fast. The bushes and trees were shaking as though something big was coming through. The thing then turned and looked toward me again still snarling. I had a feeling that another one was coming and I was not going to stay around to see. I stepped on the gas and left as fast as I could.
Later at home, I was shaking like a leaf and it took a long time for me to calm down. I think I was in a state of shock. I couldnt stop trembling. After I calmed down, I thought more about what happened. It was evident that this thing could have caught me easily. The few times I glanced back I saw that it could have easily grabbed me but it didnt. I now have the feeling that it wanted to make sure that I was leaving. The speed that 2nd one (the one I never saw) was coming down the mountain was incredible. It was almost like a boulder crashing down the mountainside. I now believe that it didnt intend to harm me but it had every intention of scaring the hell out of me. Maybe I am attributing human attributes to this thing but it looked human enough to do so.
I called my friend (that I was supposed to go hunting with) later to try to talk with him about what I saw but I couldnt tell him everything. I kind of glossed over some of the thing so he would not think that I was crazy. He could tell that I was really shaken up and he kept on asking what I saw. He asked if I saw a bear, bobcat, moon-shiners or something else. I replied that I was not sure what I saw. He then chewed me out for going hunting alone. He told me that in the past some hunters that were very familiar with the mountains have gone hunting and have never been returned. He made me promise that I would never again go hunting without a partner. That was an easy promise to keep. I have NEVER gone hunting again. I have NEVER been in the woods since then and I never will go into the woods again not even in Ohio where I moved back to several years later.
For the rest of the time I lived in that house I was constantly on alert. I made sure that I was with my wife and my daughter every time they went outside to either work in the garden or to play. I kept the .45 with me at all times out of sight. I did not want to frighten them.
I was very happy when the condo was ready and we could move to Marion. I never told my wife what I saw. I did not want to frighten her. She knows something happened since I never went hunting again. She asked me several times why I quit hunting. I just told her it was too tiring to climb the mountains.
Since moving back to Ohio, I sold my guns (except for the .45). I have no intentions of ever going into the woods again, even with a group of people. I use to love the woods, but not anymore.
I have not told too many about what happened that day. I do know this they are real and someday there will be proof. I know I dont need any proof.

Brush Your Teeth -- It's Good for Your Heart
Gum Disease
- Brush inner, outer, and chewing surfaces at least twice daily with a soft-bristled brush held at a 45° angle. Some people find electric brushes easier to use.
- Floss at least once daily, gently guiding the floss between teeth. While holding floss tight and curved around each tooth, slide the floss up and down. Use a clean section of floss for each tooth.
- Get a professional dental cleaning every six months, or more often if you are prone to plaque or gingivitis.
- Ask for an annual periodontal screening and assessment of the degree to which gum tissue has pulled away from teeth.
Risk Factors
Birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, pregnancy, puberty, and menstrual cycles all raise estrogen levels. This can make your gums more sensitive and make it easier for gingivitis to form.
Some medicines create an overgrowth of gum tissue, especially in people with an existing gum condition. Bacteria can easily build up in the enlarged gums and start to destroy the tissues that support the teeth.
Smoking increases the risk of periodontal disease and can also reduce the effectiveness of treatment.
One study found that periodontal disease is more common in people who are obese. It may be because the body has a harder time fighting infection without proper nutrients.
- Increased Age
- As we age, our risk for peridontal disease rises.
- Diabetes
- People with diabetes are at higher risk for developing gum disease.
- Other Illnesses
- People with immune deficiencies, such as those with AIDS, are more likely to have problems with their gums.
- Gums pulling away from the teeth
- Swollen, red, or tender gums
- Gums that bleed with brushing or flossing
- Bad breath
- Loose or missing teeth

Authorities say a Pennsylvania couple struck a 3-year-old boy with a frying pan, laughed as they hung him upside down and beat him, and eventually inflicted so many injuries that he died in what a prosecutor described as an "unspeakable act of depravity."Jillian Tait, 31, and Gary Lee Fellenbaum, 23, were charged Thursday with murder in the death of Tait's son, Scott McMillan, and aggravated assault in the beating of his older brother.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Nearly three in 10 former NFL players will develop at least moderate neurocognitive problems and qualify for payments under the proposed $765 million concussion settlement, according to data prepared for ex-players' lawyers and made public Friday.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A young woman charged with abducting a 5-year-old Philadelphia girl from school and raping her had frequently viewed Japanese anime depicting sexual torture, prosecutors disclosed Thursday.The evidence was revealed as the trial was delayed until next week.Prosecutors asked to introduce the video evidence involving sexual humiliation and bondage to persuade jurors that 21-year-old defendant Christina Regusters could have been the lone attacker. The girl suffered devastating injuries that required surgery.
A federal judge on Monday granted preliminary approval to a landmark deal that would compensate thousands of former NFL players for concussion-related claims.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Anita Brody in Philadelphia came about two weeks after the NFL agreed to remove a $675 million cap on damages. Brody had previously questioned whether that would be enough money to pay all claims.
PHILADELPHIA | Pulitzer Prize-winning editor Bill Marimow is expected to stay atop The Philadelphia Inquirer after the newspaper was sold at an insider sale.
Businessman Lewis Katz and philanthropist H.G. "Gerry" Lenfest won Tuesday's auction with an $88 million bid. They beat out George Norcross, a businessman and powerful New Jersey Democrat.
Katz vows to make the Inquirer one of the country's great newspapers, with a focus on serious journalism. Yet he concedes that advertising and circulation continue to decline.
PHILADELPHIA | Pennsylvania's ban on gay marriage was overturned by a federal judge Tuesday in a decision that legalizes same-sex marriage throughout the Northeast.
U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III called the plaintiffs — a widow, 11 couples and one of the couples' two teenage daughters — courageous.
"We are a better people than what these laws represent, and it is time to discard them into the ash heap of history," Jones wrote of the 1996 state ban.
PHILADELPHIA — A boy and a girl hanging out with a group of fellow students in a high school gym were shot and wounded Friday afternoon, police said.One boy originally thought to have been involved in the shooting was captured near his home but was questioned and cleared Friday night, police said. A second boy turned himself in with his family, and a third was being sought.The shooting happened at the Delaware Valley Charter High School in north Philadelphia around 3 p.m., authorities said.
PHILADELPHIA — A federal judge is slowing down the proposed $765 million settlement of NFL concussion claims, questioning if there's enough money to cover 20,000 retired players.
U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody denied preliminary approval of the plan on Tuesday because she's worried the money could run out sooner than expected.
She also raised concerns that anyone who gets concussion damages from the NFL would be barred from suing the NCAA or other amateur football leagues.
PHILADELPHIA — Police say the parents of a disabled 3-year-old Philadelphia girl who died weighing just 11 pounds have been charged with murder in what authorities are calling her starvation death.
Police say 30-year-old Carlos Rivera and 27-year-old Carmen Ramirez also face counts of involuntary manslaughter, endangering the welfare of a child and criminal conspiracy in the death of Nathalyz Rivera. She was found unresponsive Monday at the family's squalid home.
The parents are in custody. It wasn't immediately clear whether they have attorneys.
PHILADELPHIA — The NFL agreed to pay more than three-quarters of a billion dollars to settle lawsuits from thousands of former players who developed dementia or other concussion-related health problems they say were caused by the very on-field violence that fueled the game's rise to popularity and profit.

Need help with identity and age of bench
I have what may be a Deacon's Bench but I'm not at all sure.
I need help identifying what it is, how old it is and it's value.
No answers for you but I love it! I think it would help if they could see bottom of bench seat , is it enclosed with black fabric or open with springs or straw, horsehair etc. Any nails or bolts, little pieces on each corner helping hold it firmly. I think construction might yield more clues than looking at front of it. The leather or vinyl may be replacement for fabric long ago. Close-up of finishing tacks might give a hint to age also. Maybe someone has identical 1 so keep coming back & hopefully you'll get answers. Enjoy your bench!
Here's another photo of the bottom. There is wood wool used for stuffing, there are coil springs, there is twine, there is burlap and the corners are solidly braced. There is wide webbing directly beneath the black fabric material finishing the bottom.

I purchased two of the brushed nickel lav pop ups due to the fact that my supplier had none in stock, when they arrived they looked great. Much better than the plastic ones that the homeowner had purchased which broke off during installation. I knew that these were going to look great and last a long time. Went to install them and the homeowner was very satisfied with the look. I engaged the first one to show the homeowner that installation was complete and everything was fine. Went to engage the second one and it would not work. NO POP UP on the popup--defective from the manufacturer. I managed to make some minor adjustments which should not have to be done to force it to work and the homeowner was satisfied.
Easy to install and a quality product. I particularly liked the mushroom oversized stopper.

We had a really enjoyable stay in cinque terra and this hostel in Corniglia is a good base, however a few things about the place were a bit irritating- the door handle fell apart whenever you tried to use it and the light above the bed constantly flickered when turned off. If the room was a bit cheaper is happily sit on these complaints though. Keep in mind this is just a room and not a hostel, perfect for a couple, not so for a single traveller.

Our stay at Il Girasole was lovely! Corniglia is a great little town in the centre of the cinque terre and although not the most lively place, we fell in love with the local vibe and all the quaint little restaurants and cafés. The room was basic and pretty small but suited us fine! It was right in the heart of town and great value for money considering some of the crazy pricing you find in the cinque terre region! Highly recommend :) the only issue we had was the wifi could be a bit dodgy.

NSE - National Support Elementh (Logistic battalions):
Logistic Support Battalion of 1st Mechanized Brigade:
Slovak made SpGH Zuzana vz.2000 155mm, maximum firing range 39.6 km (25 miles), rate of fire 6 rounds per minute, advanced fire control system allows MRSI - Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact - Howitzer is able to engage target with massive firepower when computer fire control system calculates way of firing multiple rounds (in case of battery firing multiple volleys) which will impact on target at the same time.
[FONT=Arial]For illustration 12 howitzers will fire approximately 312 rounds together in just 5min, then all 312 rounds will land on target at the same time bringing hell of devastation..in a mean time howitzers can in minute leave original firing position and in 30 min take another position as far as 40 km (25 miles) away from previous one and fire for next 5min engaging another target with 312 rounds and so on...
[/FONT] Howitzer has advanced communication, navigation and positioning system.
Howitzers can be either autonomous on battlefield as well as cooperate with each other or firing and targeting of battery can be controlled from central command post using system DELSYS.
Apart of long range and high rate of fire another important feature is its ability of accurate hit of the target by the first shot. Excellent stability of the weapon on wheeled chassis leads to maximum possible accurate repeatability.
Maximum speed is 80 km/h (50 mph) and transport range 750 km (466 mph).

Full detailed profile on Eric Brady Played by Greg Vaughan on Days of Our Lives Daytime Soap Opera.
Greg Vaughan (NBC)
Eric Brady
Actor: Greg Vaughan
Who played Eric Brady over the years
Greg Vaughan (November 13, 2012 to Present)
Useful information on Eric Brady
* Was a photographer for Countess Wilhelmina.
Current: Photographer
Past: Priest
Past: Photographer
Eric Brady was born to Marlena and Roman Brady. He's a twin to Samantha Brady. Both were sent to Colorado to be with their grandparents and to attend school but Sami returned during high school. Eric returned later, after high school and during the time when Marlena and Roman were no longer together and she was with John Black.
When Eric's sister Sami feigned that her son Will was Austin's child, Eric did what he could to unravel the truth and learned on Sami and Austin's wedding date that Will couldn't be Lucas' son. Carrie stopped the wedding while Eric felt guilty about outing his sister. Sami eventually forgave him.
Eric had a stalker following him around Salem. Jed Fox was someone he knew in school and who caused a lot of issues for him. Jed was a date rapist who tried to make it appear as though Eric was the real rapist. Jed threatened to kill Sami if Eric didn't take responsibility for Jed's crime but Eric refused to do that and was able to convince Jed to accept what he had done and take a hike. After this, Eric was working as a photographer at Countess Wilhelmina when he met Nicole Walker who was a waitress at the Java Cafe. He offered to make her a model and the two got together in an intimate relationship until Nicole's past came to haunt her. Nicole got involved with Lucas and married him, when Eric's attentions were on Sami during the Franco Kelly murder trial. Eric then got involved with Greta Von Amberg. He couldn't get Nicole out of his head and started cheating on Greta with Nicole. Greta broke up with Eric and he left town shortly thereafter.
Sami, Marlena and Sami's children have visited Eric in Colorado since he left Salem and returned November 13, 2012... as a priest. He was keeping a secret, that he was a photographer in South Africa when he saw something terrible. A priest stood up for a child who would otherwise have been murdered and took her place. He was killed in front of Eric, who couldn't forgive himself for not taking the child's place. He has been back in the family fold and already into the issues surrounding his siblings, while trying to help Nicole Walker better herself. This worked for a time and Nicole started to fall in love with Eric. Eric overheard her telling Brady this and was shocked. Eric eventually realized he too had feelings but pushed them aside. When Kristen DiMera wanted to get back at Marlena for taking what she thought was hers (John), she had a doctor, Dr. Chyka, concoct some drug she could use to drug Eric and rape him. She set up a recording device while the duo had sex but before she could figure out what to do with it, it got into the hands of Victor Kiriakis, who gave it to Marlena. Marlena didn't know what the contents of the DVD were but played it during Kristen's wedding to her son Brady, thinking it was material which would cause Brady to dump Kristen. Eric was floored, as were all of the wedding guests at what Kristen did. It ruined his relationship with Brady, who thought his brother elected to have sex with his bride. Brady dumped Kristen who left town before anyone could find evidence that Eric indeed was set-up. Nicole and Daniel did eventually find evidence that Dr. Chyka was behind the rape but Nicole withheld the information because her relationship with Eric was growing and she worried Eric would go back to the priesthood if he had the proof. She did hand the evidence over after Eric learned she'd been keeping it from him and they broke up.

Eric arrives at Serena's and sees her with Xander. The men embrace, happy yet surprised to see one another. Xander says he's running a small pharmaceutical company called Randall Lewis and was hoping to get Serena to write an article about one of their drugs. The men catch up and Xander compliments Eric's photography. He always thought Eric was wasted on the priesthood. They make plans to dine together before Xander goes. Eric questions how tense Serena appears and she admits she never liked the man as much as Eric did. He's pushy. Eric asks why she didn't tell him about her run in with Nicole. Serena says what's the difference? Nicole's a liar. She doesn't want to discuss Nicole so he apologizes and hugs her.
At TBD, Nicole tells Daniel that he hasn't been treating her very well lately. Eric walks in and Daniel pauses. He takes her outside and says he cares about her so much that he needs her to be honest about her feelings for Eric. He's not convinced she's over him. Nicole refutes this and wonders if this is about him not being over how Chloe hurt him. Pissed, he leaves and she shouts, "What you can analyse me but I can't do the same?" She insists she's over Eric and heads back inside to get his help in proving to Daniel that she's over him. He thinks she needs to be more like Serena. Honest and upfront. Nicole scoffs at Serena being a paragon of virtue and tells him about Serena lying about the two statues. Eric is disbelieving and goes. Nicole shakes her head. "Walker, you have a way with men." Knowing it will blow up in her face, she decides to investigate Serena.
Xander arrives on Serena's doorstep. "It's been a long time." She retorts, "Not long enough." He's there to settle their business and wants to know if she's playing him. He remembers how she used to like his touch. He puts his hands on her shoulders and she shirks his touch and tells him she has done his bidding. She bitches about how long this is taking but he says he had to make sure Interpol wasn't on to him. He finds her story about recovering the wrong elephant in storage incredulous and warns that she's still in danger. Serena describes how hard it's been for her to change the statues. He ridicules her for not being happy about leading an ex-priest around by his appendage and she yells, "Shut up!" He acts menacing and tells her there'll be no more delays - or else. She admits she has the diamond but won't hand them over. He tells her to get her coat and show him where they are. He opens the door and Eric's there.

Waterford — Army Capt. Arnold E. Holm Jr. and his best friend used to walk by the "duck pond" each day on their way to the high school.
Holm and Bill Cavalieri graduated in 1962, and Holm gave up an athletic scholarship to Springfield College to enlist. He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery in November 2011, after a search for his remains in Vietnam that took nearly four decades.
Cavalieri and his classmates are now raising money for a memorial in Holm's honor. The town approved Cavalieri's request to rename the area around the pond in the Civic Triangle the "Arnold E. Holm Jr. Memorial Park." The project would cost between $8,000 and $10,000. A perpetual fund would also be created to maintain the park.
The money will go toward placing a granite stone with a brass plaque in the park, installing signs and maintaining the markers. Early designs of the plaque feature pictures of Holm as a baseball, basketball and football athlete in Waterford and as a young military officer.
Holm is "a local kid and a local hero," Cavalieri said, and with a park in his name, "long after we're all gone, hopefully his legacy will carry on."
Nicknamed "Dusty," Holm had been flying reconnaissance in a small scout helicopter in central Vietnam on June 11, 1972. Enemy fire sent him and his crewmates crashing through the jungle canopy.
Over the years, several attempts to find Holm and his crewmates failed, then budget cuts and a backlog of other cases stalled and threatened to stop the effort.
In 2002, Brett Arnold, a civics teacher at Waterford High School, and his students asked Rob Simmons, who was then the congressman representing the 2nd District, to step in. Later, U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney worked to make sure the case was a priority for the Defense Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office when he was elected to represent the district.
The crash site was excavated in 2008, and DPMO made a group identification in May 2011 of the remains of Holm and his crewmates, Pfc. Wayne Bibbs of Illinois and Spc. Robin Yeakley of Indiana.
First Selectman Dan Steward said he supports the park project because Holm was "quite a special person" who is "an important part of the town's heritage."
"He did an awful lot, and I don't think many people understand how much he really did," he said Monday.
Cavalieri said he's planning to organize a dedication ceremony this summer at the park. A trust fund was established at the Chelsea Groton Bank to accept donations.
Donations can be sent to The Waterford Parks Foundation — Arnie Holm Fund c/o Chelsea Groton Bank/Anne Ogden, 157 Boston Post Road, Waterford, CT 06385.

Memorable, lovely and charming. The beautiful illustrations compliment a great story. Sick days will never be the same.
A very sweet book about a zookeeper and the animals who love him.
Illustrations were incredible and reminded me of some of the classic picture books from the 50s and 60s in their style.
So cute how the animals take care of Amos as he has done for them
Delightful book.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

After completing her first season as head coach of the Marian University women's basketball team, head coach Katie Gearlds stated her goals were to set a new wins record for the program, earn a league title and head to the national tournament. Check, check and check.
After surpassing the program wins record last month, the No. 7 and second-seeded Marian University women's basketball team won its first-ever Crossroads League Tournament championship over No. 22 and fourth-seeded Huntington University, 63-59, on John Grimes Court at the Physical Education Center on Monday night.....read more
On April 17, Marian University German language students traveled to the CANDLES (Children of Auschwitz Nazi Deadly Lab Experiments Survivors) Museum, a Holocaust museum and education center in Terre Haute, Indiana.
"This trip is an aspect of 'experiential learning' since the students had the opportunity to speak with and interact with a survivor of the Holocaust. I am a believer in the human aspect of learning and this trip facilitated that," said Wendy Westphal, Ph.D., assistant professor of German at Marian University and organizer of the trip.
Eva Kor, an Auschwitz concentration camp survivor, founded the museum in an effort to educate people on the Holocaust, specifically on Dr. Josef Mengele's experiments on twins. At Auschwitz, Kor and her twin sister, Miriam, were subjects in the infamous doctor's experiments. CANDLES holds photos, posters, documents, and artifacts from Kor's personal story.
After touring, students had the opportunity to listen to Kor tell her story. She told the students about her time at Auschwitz, describing her experience as a "human guinea pig" for genetic experiments. She also told students about her time after Auschwitz, when she reunited with her sister and began searching for more of Mengele's victims.
The message from Kor's story goes beyond history. During her speech, Kor spoke about the importance of forgiveness. She told the audience that while she will never forget what the Nazis did, she was able to heal by forgiving them.
Because most of the Holocaust survivors have passed away or are unable to talk about their experiences, Kor's speech was a unique opportunity for students to learn about history from someone who experienced it.
"Hearing about the Holocaust from those who actually lived through it, with all of the vivid little details that bring the cattle cars, the camps, the fear and inhumanity to life, was an absolutely incredible experience. I feel blessed to have been a part of the audience, and to take that experience with me as I pursue my education in history," said sophomore Claire Crane.

Xero eyes 'farming in the cloud'
Relevant offers
Accounting software star Xero has teamed up with farm software specialist Figured to develop a single cloud-based software service that will let farmers manage their accounts and their farms online.
Xero said the "farming in the cloud" service would be available by the middle of the year and would combine its accounting software with Figured's tools to manage livestock reporting and farm budgeting.
"Farming is the backbone of our nation and Xero is committed to working with farmers, their advisers and stakeholders to lift the future of farming productivity," Xero rural strategy leader Ben Richmond said.
The service would let farmers, accountants, banks and rural service companies work together from the same data, providing a central home for accounting and farm management tools, he said.
Xero would work with Vodafone to provide the service and had formed a partnership with agricultural services firm PGG Wrightson, he said.
Figured said farming threw up "quite unique" accounting challenges, such as tracking a "living inventory" of livestock, which meant farm management and accounting had been largely disconnected.
Its project director, Duncan Anderson, said there had been overseas interest in the service and there were no barriers to its international use.
Earlier today, Xero announced it was a quarter of the way to chief executive Rod Drury's medium-term goal of signing up a million customers.
The company announced it had notched up 250,000 customers as nearly 900 accountants and software partners gathered for its annual "Xerocon" conference in Auckland today.
Xero said it had passed the milestone late last month.
Drury said he was pleased with the company's progress, given it took Xero five years to notch up its first 50,000 customers.
"In the last 12 months we've added 115,000. We are gaining real momentum," he said.
Xero announced late last month that with results in for the first three-quarters of its 2013-14 financial year, it was just on target to achieve the 80 per cent-plus annual sales growth Drury forecast at the company's annual meeting in August.
Chief revenue officer Stuart McLean has sold 6000 shares - about 7 per cent of his total holdings - at just over $40-a-share, Xero also announced to the NZX.
Xero shares were up 50c, or 1.26 percent, at $40.10 this afternoon.
