Oaxaca Acu Project
In February 2011, Jeya brought 12 acupuncturists to Oaxaca Mexico to study with indigenous healers and offer free community style acupuncture clinics in the city of Oaxaca and in 4 rural villages. They only used points in the ears. This work introduced local communities to a simple, inexpensive, effective healthcare technique.
In response to requests from health care providers in those communities, Jeya created an educational program in February 2012. 10 promotores, healthcare providers from mountain and coastal pueblos were trained how to implement community style auricular acupuncture clinics. Jeya then went to the pueblos to give follow-up support.
Oaxaca is economically the second poorest state in Mexico, with over 76% of its population living in extreme poverty. This population, which includes 16 indigenous groups, lacks basic necessities and has inadequate access to health care.
Jeya will return to Oaxaca in February 2013 to continue to support those who have been trained and to teach them and others acupressure techniques which they can practice and then teach in their communities. We invite your participation in this continuing effort by making a tax-deductible gift to cover the cost of the supplies, Spanish language materials, participant's transportation and lodging and other expenses. Jeya's time and expenses are volunteer as part of her "pro-bono" servicework.
Donations can be made through Paypal, by credit card (on the Paypal link) or by check, payable to "Trauma Healing Project –Acupunture" and mailed to:

Gaytan (Bulgarian for braid) is a fresh new insight on archaic letterforms. A family of two unicase typefaces – a modern looking sans and more classic looking serif, equipped with many alternates, so they can suit any typographic taste. Gaytan's unique design was inspired by Old Church Slavonic Cyrillic, Bulgarian Ustav and the Russian Vyaz stiles, as well as the avant-garde works of Bulgarian type designers in late 1970s.

Rectifier tubes
Hi all,
My amp came with Edicron 5U4G rectifier tubes, I wanted to experiment a bit with other makes. can I aslo try the 5U4GB ? I saw some nice NOS 5U4GB tubes and it would be also interesting to try the EH 5U4GB. thanks in advance, Yuval |

Yes, you can use 5U4GB....i would go for the NOS ones over EH any day.

If you already have the Edicrons it isn't worth it to spend extra cash on the EH. Both are quite likely just the Russian 5U4Gs anyway. NOS 5U4Gs would be my choice but I fail to see why you want to experiment with different rectifiers...there are much more important aspects of an amp worthy of experiment IMHO. De gustibus et coloribus non discutandum est, of course. Cheers,
Frank |

thanks for your input,
I read some reviews that report positive change with NOS rectifiers, I thought I'de stock some backup tubes so why not experiment ? cheers, Yuval BTW, what do you think about the EH KT88 ? same s**t as Svet's ? |

I actually heard users of the EH KT88 say it is remarkably good and that it's close to the old GEC's, or at least closer than the Svet's - guess that's something to try one of these days
Cheers, Guy. |

fancy GECs cost quiet a bit, I wonder if anyone really did make a direct comparison between the EH and GEC, does it worth the extra $ ... anyway NOS tubes are to disappear someday so maybe it's better getting used to russian subs

I swapped the Edicrons in my WAD KaT34 for the National 5U4GB. Being the GB they drop voltage by an extra 6 volts (or should, I've not measured it yet). I found that they give a big improvement, a lot of "mush" is removed. Perhaps the bass is a touch less prominent due to the extra mid and top-end detail. Still plenty of bass though. The quality of the bass did not change (fortunately). Whilst you won't turn a bad amp into a good one with these rectifiers, I certainly experienced a very worthwhile improvement. The sort of difference you get with swapping from an avaerge sounding output tube to a good one. Clive |

Do yourself a favor and get a 5R4WGB.Even the recent products (Cetron samples being sold by Triode Electronics) are a killer!

Very cute but slightly long
"These are really cute for summer but they are a little long and my heel slips out. If they don't fit my daughter they sadly have to go back."

Love These!
"Bought these last week and they are my new favorite shoes! Great for springs training games and dressy enough to work on Fridays!"
February 15, 2015
"Super cute! I was happy I read the reviews prior to ordering because they said they ran a bit long and suggested to order half a size down which worked out perfect. I love the color with just a little bit of shimmer and they are very comfy. Very happy with my purchase."

These reviews are the opinion of an RVParkReviews' member and not the views of RVParkReviews.com
Date of Stay: October, 2014 - $20.00
Nice spacious sites in a nice wooded area. Great price for full hookup and so close to the Columbia River Gorge attractions. It is not very busy in October. We camped at Ainsworth State Park in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: August, 2014 - $24.00
We arrived early on a Sunday figuring that with no reservations accepted this would be the best course of action. That worked out well as people were just pulling out. We were able to get a pull through site with plenty of room to deploy the slides on both sides. There are a number of low branches to navigate around and walking the loop first would be a good idea to find the best vacant and most level site. Overall a great location to camp while visiting the many local sites. We camped at Ainsworth State Park in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: August, 2014 - $24.00
$24 per night (all sites are first come, first served which will be changing to the use of the reservation system in March 2015) was for a slightly un-level asphalt pad site with full hookups, picnic table, and fire ring. Most sites have shade at some point during the day while others are in full shade—at least during the summer. This campground is located 35 miles E of downtown Portland and is out in a country-like setting but near to shopping/dining. This is bicycle country so there are many miles of trails for riding/ walking/hiking. This campground is located adjacent to the Historic Columbia River Highway, I-84, and railroad tracks but is surprisingly quiet as the train doesn't blow its whistle because there are no crossings nearby. The traffic noise from I-84 is like white noise as trucks don't use their compression brakes and traffic flows at a steady pace. AT&T cell service was two bars LTE. Our Millenicom Jetpack was getting two bars of 4G LTE which was great for Internet access. There was plenty of over-the-air TV. We camped at Ainsworth State Park in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: July, 2014 - $24.00
No reservations accepted, which suited us very well. Plenty of spaces if you arrive early in the week. Mostly shady, convenient to Portland and Columbia Gorge. We camped at Ainsworth State Park in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: October, 2013 - $16.00
Fall or winter rates are in effect this time of year. This campground is very easy to get into this time of year and our preference for camping is on the upper part of this campground. One reason we started staying here was it was far enough away from the train and you did not have too much freeway noise and it's close enough to Portland that if you want to drive in for the day it is very convenient. The campground has full hookups and for the fall or winter rate it is excellent. We definitely would stay here again. We camped at Ainsworth State Park in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: September, 2013 - $20.00
Third time we have stayed hear, always for multible days. Great location for visiting the area. Portland to the west Columbia River all around. We like the pull throughs on the upper level. Many over air TV channels. ATT and Verizon coverage. Sites may need a little leveling on one side. There is train noise, this bothers some people. We camped at Ainsworth State Park in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: June, 2013 - $20.00
Well, one turn inside the park is pretty tight for large RVs, & they have upped the price a bit but for what it is, even with train noise & highway noise, there is not much worth a complaint for the price. We camped at Ainsworth State Park in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: October, 2011 - $16.00
If you want a shady place, this is it. Along the Columbia there is no escape from Hwy and train sounds, but they are muted here. Making the best of the topographic challenge of being in the Columbia Gorge, the sites are well laid out, with decent pull throughs. Level, and with full hookups, we had no complaints, though would not stay here again. The notice on the bulletin boards about theft were off-putting. We camped at Ainsworth State Park in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: October, 2011 - $16.00
A little bit of train sound, but not bad. We like this park and with full hookups you can't beat this price and location, great place. We camped at Ainsworth State Park in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: October, 2011 - $16.00
Great overnight stop for us. This park is in deep trees so no possible way to get satellite reception; no cable at sites; no Wi-Fi. We used site A2, one of the first sites we encountered, a pull-through that was a bit difficult to level but we managed to get our 27' 5th wheel level with 4 boards (2 under each wheel on one side). We had some distant train and road noise but not too intrusive and it wouldn't keep us from staying here again. Next time we might try some pull-through sites that are more on the way out than on the way in and hope they are easier to level. At $16 a night this we think this was a very good deal. We camped at Ainsworth State Park in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: July, 2011 - $17.00
This is a very popular state park with two campgrounds, one just shortly off of I-84 Exit 35 and one closer to Exit 30 that is suitable for tents, there was a sign "No trailers". Don't miss the turn into the campground near Exit 35, as there are few opportunities to turn around (we were towing a car), the road through the park is narrow and the park was very crowded on a Saturday afternoon. The campground was full, however the park ranger let us have his parking spot (at a reduced rate) that still had hookups since it was an old campsite. We were right next to the dumpster and recycling, but were grateful to have a site so we could stay at the park and hike the beautiful trails. The restrooms were clean and there were programs at the campground for kids. We camped at Ainsworth State Park in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: July, 2011 - $20.00
It is a state park. Some noise from highway and train, but not bad. This is a first come first stay. In summer plan on stopping early afternoon to get a place. Weekends are busy. We camped at Ainsworth State Park in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: October, 2010 - $22.00
Beautiful Park, with easy pull through sites. Trail was quite steep off the camp. The water was very chlorinated, we had our own water for coffee thankfully. The trains didn't bother us. We camped at Ainsworth State Park in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: September, 2010 - $16.00
We loved this park. We were able to make in into the first loop just great. We stayed close to the top of the hill. We had to back down the hill to turn around, but that wasn't a big deal. The slots had a nice amount of space, so we didn't feel crowded. There were nice tree. The park just had a nice pleasant feeling. We enjoyed a campfire while we were there. We camped at Ainsworth State Park in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: September, 2010 - $20.00
Oregon State Park across the highway from the Columbia River. There is some train noise, but we stayed 3 nights and no train noise during the night to wake us, and not too bad during the day. Sites are in the trees, so we could not get satellite service, but we have Verizon cell service. A couple of trails to go to the nearest falls from the campground. Camp hosts patrol regularly but there really were great campers here with us, no noisy neighbors while we were here. First-come-first serve campground so get here on a Thursday if you want a weekend spot! We camped at Ainsworth State Park in a Motorhome.

It calls for all kinds of spending cuts, casts aside the bargains struck during last year's budget debacle, and asserts that by 2050, all federal spending outside of entitlement programs (Medicare, Medicaid) should only equal 4 percent of America's GDP. For comparison, most peer nations spend around 5 percent of GDP on infrastructure alone." "Just to be clear, the budget is separate from the two-year transportation bill passed by the Senate two weeks ago, the House's five-year drill-and-drive bill, and the 90-day extension of transportation programs introduced yesterday. Think of it as the national wish list, a policy statement that tries to set a tone for subsequent spending bills.

And we are grateful for the way the special needs of those drivers are highlighted in a new report called 'Keeping Baby Boomers Mobile: Preserving the Mobility and Safety of Older Americans' (http://bit.ly/H6RuUu). Unfortunately, the report, produced by AASHTO (the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) in collaboration with TRIP, a national transportation research group representing contractors and engineering firms, continues to reinforce the 'forgiving highways' orthodoxy that the transportation establishment has been promoting for too long now. (On the positive side, it also endorses a number of measures that AARP has been pressing for: better signs, retroreflective paint, brighter street lighting, etc.)" "It is time for AASHTO, TRIP, and other members of that establishment to recognize the limitations of 'forgiving highways' principles. This approach, which aims to reduce crashes by designing roads to accommodate driver error, might work well for interstates, freeways, and rural highways. But it should not be applied to the rest of our nation's roads. Evidence is mounting that not only does the 'wider, straighter, and faster' philosophy fail to fix safety problems on urban and suburban arterials--it actually makes them worse. Let's consider the issue of older drivers and safety from an engineering perspective. Engineering involves the practical application of science and math to solve problems, so we'll take a closer look at the problem defined in the report and the applications suggested to address that problem..."

City of Melbourne, working with with the Department of Planning and Community Development has offered tenders to construct the underpass to link the Docklands along the north bank of the river to the surrounding bicycle network. The innovative design by Aurecon Australia hovers above the river, unsupported by any piles, and designed in such a way to have no impact upon the river nor the surrounding infrastructure." "It will represent a new standard in bike facilities and become a much-visited iconic element on Melbourne's riverfront and will put a smile on riders and architects alike. The State government committed Aus $15m in 2008/09 to fund the Charles Grimes Bridge Underpass and promenade extension at World Trade Centre.

In response to a request from PEDS President Sally Flocks, team leaders agreed to stop bundling pedestrians and bicyclists as 'non-motorized' road users. Separating pedestrian safety issues from those of other modes will help ensure they receive a fair share of attention in the state plan. Georgia has made steady progress in reducing injuries and fatalities for motorists since 2005. Yet pedestrian fatalities during the same period increased by 12 percent. With 168 deaths in 2010, pedestrians now account for one out of seven traffic fatalities in Georgia. PEDS is eager to increase the visibility of Georgia's serious pedestrian safety problem. To that end, Sally asked planners to include a chart showing how pedestrian fatality trends differ from those of vehicle occupants.

The Statewide Health Improvement Program, known as SHIP, burst out across the state in 2009 as community gardens, fresher food in schools, employee wellness programs for small businesses and efforts to make public places smoke-free. Now, in the wake of its funding being slashed by more than two-thirds last year, the program -- envisioned as a years-long effort to change how people think about their health -- faces an uncertain future. At the Capitol, some in the Republican majority question the value of designating millions of dollars for the prevention-oriented public health program."

Are they unconvinced by arguments about public health, transportation options, or clean air? Do business leaders send you packing when you suggest building new bike lanes and bike parking, fearing that the loss of car parking will keep customers away? Then show them the money. Bikes can mean big business, and businesses are beginning to realize it. At a [2012 LAB] Bike Summit panel Wednesday on the economic boost cycling can provide cities, speakers highlighted another strong message cyclists can bring to politicians when making their case for investment in bike/ped facilities." "Far and away, the biggest reason business owners resist the addition of bike infrastructure is that they're afraid it will limit parking. Once they realize they can get 12 bike parking spaces for each car spot, sometimes they begin to change their tune. Even better, they begin to discover that cyclists can be their best customers. 'We tend to shop closer to home and shop more often,' said April Economides, a consultant who helped the city of Long Beach, California build bicycle-friendly business districts.

Chain Lightning, part 6 of 6. With the death of Barry Allen in the 30th century, history has changed. Now, Wally West finds himself in a 30th century where the Anti-Monitor has won the Crisis on Infinite Earths. After trying to fight the Anti-Monitor alone, Wally runs back into the past, to join forces with the rest of the heroes during the Crisis on Infinite Earths. He joins forces with Superman's assault team on the Anti-Monitor's base of operations. Even with the Flash helping out invisibly, the heroes still fall to the Anti-Monitor. Realizing that the only way for the heroes to win is to bring back Barry Allen, Wally goes to the point where Cobalt Blue kills Barry. Wally intercepts Cobalt Blue before he kills Barry, and uses his speed to destroy both Cobalt Blue and himself.

MIAMI — Surprise, relief, joy and even some caution.
Such was the reaction of many NBA players and fans Saturday, amid news that the labor dispute which led to the cancellation of hundreds of games and threatened the entire season was nearing an end.
No schedules are out, the collective bargaining agreement has not been drafted and formal votes on the deal remain unscheduled. Still, for the first time in months, optimism seemed to take the lead over pessimism on the NBA's emotional scoreboard.
The Associated Press
DETROIT — Mean Joe Greene knows what it's like to be regarded as a nasty player in the NFL.
The Hall of Famer hopes Ndamukong Suh's name doesn't get stuck in the mud for the rest of his career.
Suh snapped on Thanksgiving Day and stomped on Green Bay's Evan Dietrich-Smith, adding fuel to the discussion of where the Detroit Lions defensive tackle ranks among the league's dirtiest players.
San Francisco 49ers center Jonathan Goodwin said Suh is at the top of the list.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse men's basketball coach Jim Boeheim ran a closed practice Monday as sex abuse victims' advocates questioned whether he should still coach following the firing of longtime assistant Bernie Fine, who has been accused of molestation by three men.
As criticism swirled about Boeheim's initial support of Fine and his verbal attacks on the accusers, the coach kept a low profile, seeking refuge in his office on the second floor of the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center.
Stephanie Trujillo-Gonzales of Las Vegas earned a top 10 finish in the Ms. Bikini America's Classic division and a 14th place in the fitness championship category on Nov. 19 in the Fitness America bodybuilding competition held in Las Vegas, Nev.
Trujillo-Gonzales, 38, is a full-time registered nurse at Alta Vista Regional Hospital, a wife and mother of two. She attended West Las Vegas High and Luna Community College (then LVTI) before earning her bachelor of science in nursing from UNM in 2009.

NEW YORK — With a Christmas Day tripleheader on everyone's wish list and a tentative labor agreement in place, NBA owners and union officials went back to work Saturday, relaying details of the deal with hopes of cementing it quickly.
After a 149-day lockout that ultimately will cost the league approximately a half-billion dollars in losses, a marathon bargaining session produced a handshake agreement earlier in the day — actually, just a few hours before daybreak.
Taking down visiting Peñasco by six and then pushing Wingate in a five-point loss on the road, the West Las Vegas boys' basketball team has officially opened the Ernie Rodriguez Era with a promising start.
The Dons' debut under their new head coach came Wednesday evening as they beat Peñasco 64-58 at Gillie Lopez Gym.
Jordan Lopez led West with 21 points.
Lopez's steal and subsequent layup, followed by a defensive stop and a free throw by Benny Salinas capped a 7-0 start to the game for WLV.
Black Friday was followed by Red-and-Gold Saturday, and there were no good deals to be had for the West Las Vegas girls' basketball team.
Visiting Española Valley, a 64-28 winner, outworked the Lady Dons on rebounding and defense and had little trouble in an early-season blowout at Gillie Lopez Gym.
Marcus Williams led all players with 21 points, and three teammates also scored in double figures but New Mexico Highlands lost a 104-98 shootout with Eastern New Mexico this past Wednesday night on a neutral court in Santa Rosa.
Highlands battled back after falling behind by as much as 13 points — 79-66 at the eight-minute mark in the second half — but never got over the hump.
NMHU (1-2) opens its Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference schedule with Metro State this Friday in Denver.

The Artist, produced by Thomas Langmann
© 2011 The Weinstein CompanyAlthough several of the contenders for best picture of 2011 displayed stunning use of 21st-century film technology, the much-coveted award went to the carefully crafted black-and-white 1920s homage The Artist. The film became the first silent feature to win best picture since the first Academy Awards ceremony, in 1929. With spoken dialogue out of the picture, the movie relies heavily on the gestures and expressions of its star, Jean Dujardin (AA), the intuition and artistry of its director, Michel Hazanavicius (AA), and its emotional score by Ludovic Bource (AA), all of whom garnered their own Oscar statuettes.* The narrative centres on charismatic silent film star George Valentin (Dujardin), who experiences a decline in popularity with the rise of talking pictures. As he struggles to adjust to the changing state of cinema, he also grapples with his feelings about up-and-coming starlet Peppy Miller (Bérénice Bejo [AAN]). Valentin hits rock-bottom when the release of his ill-received self-financed silent picture coincides with the stock market crash of 1929, and he is left destitute. Meanwhile, Miller's star continues to rise with the popularity of her newfangled sound films. Though he is at first resistant to her help, Valentin eventually accepts Miller's offer to costar in a film with her, and he finally makes his first foray into the world of sound.

A woman, pregnant or not, has every right to dress as she likes. When I get pregnant, I'm going to dress based on mood, comfort and style. And considering how many sites there are that have huge memberships devoted to the beauty of pregnant women--I can toss the self-consciousness out the door right now.
Domino, the porn star, when she was pregnant, the traffic to her site really increased a LOT.
Many men, and more than a few women, find pregnant women beautiful.
But, I'm sure there'll be some jackass along shortly telling us all how pregnant woman should dress and why such should be mandated by law...

Recently pregnant Camila Alves is the brand ambassador for Macy's exclusive I.N.C line and former model. Since announcing this past July that she's pregnant, she "hasn't missed a beat in her gorgeous, statement-making wardrobe. In fact she looks to her baby bump as inspiration to look sexier than ever."
In fact, Alves goes on to say, "I look better if I have tight, fitted things," the 30-year-old Brazilian super model told Us Weekly at her I.N.C. campaign launch in NYC on Thursday. "Anytime I put on anything that is really flowing, it makes me look twice as big than I am." Do you think it's OK for pregnant woman to dress in tight, sexy clothes?

- Motley 2012/08/01 15:01:29
I agree with you on that one. A pregnant woman is no longer sexy anymore. Her sexy days are over and it's time to dress more appropriately for you belly or whatever and it's a time to grow up and reflect on being a mother as well. I've gone down the street and i've been shocked at the amount of ugly pregnant women in ugly tight outfits lookin all trashy and to be quite frank it's disgustng. One word YUCK!

No+1I don't think pregnant woman are sexy at all. I think that sexy clothing looks disgusting and distasteful. What's wrong with covering up with clothing--ie track pants that actually fit (so there is no muffin tops) and a good size t-shirt so no boobs are hanging out all over the place?? When out in public, we don't want to see your fat belly /boobs hanging out of a ill-fitted tight dress!! Ick!
Pregnancy is beautiful and it is the time women feel the most self-conscious. So, parson my French[...]
Just because i don't consider pregnancy to be 'Beautful' doesn't mean i'm not entitled to my opinion and who the hell are you to tell me[...]get in the twenty first century where not everyone conciders pregnancy to be BEAUTFUL..
A baby bump is NOT a "fat belly." A "fat belly" is what you get from eating too much fast food and too many sweets.
I think i know the difference there. But to me baby bump looks like a fat belly...Just my opinion that's all.

SHADOWBORN Lila Grey, Book 2 JOCELYN ADAMS ISBN# 9781937744137 October 2012 J Taylor Publishing http://www.jtaylorpublishing.com E-Book $5.99 344 Pages Fantasy Romance Rating: 3 Cups
Queen of the Seelie, Lila Gray is a bit uneasy in her new role, not to mention her relationship with the King of the Unseelie and the need to keep it secret. She is a strong and beautiful woman who has overcome much.
Liam Kane is the King of the Unseelie. He is new to his role and not completely secure in his position. He is also hiding something important.
An Otherworldly being is leaving humans in a comatose state. Assassins are trying to eliminate the new Queen of the Seelie, and an enemy from her past has come back from his supposed grave. Desperate for advice, Lila will have to find her way on her own, as even the love of her life is keeping secrets from her.
This book is very much part of a series where the first one is pretty important in understanding what is happening on. I would definitely add another cup, if you have read the first book. I have been a bit at sea for the first part of the novel. After catching up, I find this to be an excellent read, with well-developed and unusual characters, not to mention a compelling and exciting plot. Lila is a memorable character, and I look forward to more of her adventures.

Passersby in Plain City sometimes do a double take when they see the quaint 1930s building with its beautiful yard art, bright blue planters and the gable sign on what used to be a family residence just east of the auction house.
The property, located at 179 E. Main St., is now a commercial property and The White Feather Gallery-Boutique has moved in.
Owners Melynnda Smith and Sandy Adkins said their approach is somewhat unique in that it is a three-fold concept. Visitors cannot only browse and shop though the gallery, but also take a class and schedule a location in which to hold their next important event.
The White Feather Gallery-Boutique was named for a reference from the book, "Dream Giver" — about the character Ordinary, who pursues a dream.The store first opened in December 2013 on Saturdays. Hours were extended to Tuesday through Saturday in March.
The store showcases and promotes the work of Ohio artisans. Guests entering the shop are greeted by the many beautiful pieces ranging from paintings, soaps and lotions, pottery, photography, various jewelry artists, watercolor prints, soy candles, handmade hats, hand-painted bone china and more.
Both owners are residents of the village, and said they understand the need to support the local economy.
"It was important our shop be located in uptown Plain City," Adkins said. "We encourage customers to visit the other shops and other shop owners are doing the same for us. It is a joint effort to help each other be successful."
White Feather also offers garden events in the two adjacent lots. The space is used by the owners for art fairs, concerts and other various events, but is also available to be rented out by the public.
Additionally, the patio is available for events and for customers to stop by on a Saturday morning for a cup of coffee and freshly baked pastry.
"It's about fulfilling a heart dream we've both had for many, many years," Adkins said. "After years of hoping, praying and planning the doors of opportunity opened to us and we are now living out our God-given dreams."
The White Feather Gallery-Boutique is open Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Delaware County Daily Times (
Chester man found guilty of murder in 2011 shooting
By ALEX ROSE
Friday, February 8, 2013
MEDIA COURTHOUSE -- A 26-year-old Chester man was convicted late Friday on first-degree murder charges for the Oct. 16, 2011 shooting death of Dwayne Smith, according to Emily Harris, communications officer for the District Attorney's Office.
The jury deliberated for about five hours Friday afternoon before returning the verdict for Tyreek Wilson, who has been in custody since November 2011 for the Sunday morning shooting that left Smith, 34, dead on the sidewalk of the 700 block of E. 10th Street near the intersection of Hyatt Street.
During the trial before Judge George Pagano this week, witnesses said Wilson shot Smith in retribution for the Oct. 3 fatal shooting of his friend, 18-year-old Marvin Fitzgerald. Another of Wilson's friends testified that he even bragged about the shooting, saying he "caught him slippin' and I got him."
But Chester Detective Charles Bothwell said Smith was never a suspect in Fitzgerald's murder; he simply fit the general description police have for the gunman. Fitzgerald's murder remains unsolved.
Smith's wife, Yvette Smith, tearfully told the jury of seven women and five men this week that her husband had gone to their former residence on Hyatt Street early Sunday morning to clear out some of their things. It was the last time she saw him alive.
Another man said he was taking garbage out to the alley behind his house on the 900 block of Hyatt Street when he saw Wilson loitering near the crime scene.
A few seconds later, the man said he heard four gunshots then saw Wilson running down the alley between Hyatt Street and McDowell Avenue toward 11th Street.
Wilson's grandmother lives on that block of McDowell Avenue, but testified that her grandson was in the house at the time of the shooting. She said she did not see him there, but called down to him from the second story of her house seconds after the shots rang out at 8:15 a.m., and he answered her from the living room.
Assistant District Attorney Brian Doherty noted Wilson's grandmother did not give detectives that information until August 2012, nine months after her grandson's arrest, and had originally told investigators she heard a noise downstairs before calling out.
Defense attorney Tracie Burns pointed out that neither of the prosecution's prime witnesses came forward until they were arrested by police. Both witnesses allegedly identified Wilson from a photo array, but neither claims to have been promised reduced sentences in exchange for cooperation with this case.
Judge Pagano set sentencing for April 23.

The Green Schools Academy program, as led by Jenna Cramer, vice president of green schools for the Green Building Alliance, brings together private, public, parochial and charter schools to work toward a culture of sustainability and transformation in healthy schools for all children. This program is inspiring schools to take action and community members to expand the conversation and build partnerships. Ms. Cramer's model brings in leaders from the green schools movement to give TED-like talks to the community and then stick around for action-driving day-long workshops with integrated core teams from each school. These teams include principals, teachers, facilities managers, parents, lunch ladies and students. There has been interest from around the country to expand the program to other cities.

Teachers Involve Students, Gauge Understanding by Using Interactive Presentations
Date Added: May 2010
Format: WORD
Sultan Elementary School is a small school that is situated in a rural community in Washington. They had traditional teaching methods apart from a computer lab equipped with Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 and Microsoft PowerPoint 2010. The school was looking forward to make the teaching process a more lively and refreshing experience by making the children participate more. Sultan Elementary School wanted to incorporate some kind of interactive teaching mechanism in each of their classrooms, but unfortunately they did not have the financial capability to afford even one. They learned of Microsoft Mischief as an add-on to their Microsoft PowerPoint and decided to give it a try. The school did not have to spend anything extra for this software and the teachers and students embraced this technology. The teachers created multi-choice questions to their presentations and the students engaged themselves in actively answering them. Microsoft Mischief would not only refresh their mind but give them valuable inputs on how to use real time technology. The students could use their own mouse to activate the controls in one single PC itself. Because of this advantage, more students can perform with just one computer and this accelerated the interactive teaching process. Read this case study to know how Microsoft Mischief translated the dreams of teachers to one successful vision. Learn how this solution, enabled the students to learn actively from shared computer resources.

The impact of crop rotation, nutrient levels and use of catch crops on effect of E. repens on a sandy soil at Jyndevad on yield of winter wheat (2006), spring barley (2007-2008) and faba bean (2006-2008) was studied in an existing organic crop rotation experiment (Olesen et al., 2000; Rasmussen et al., 2006). Some of the objectives were to determine the yield loss at different levels of infestation of the weed, and to determine whether this relationship was influenced by the treatments.
For all crops, the treatments had a high impact on the yield. The two treatments that had no manure applied for up to 12 years consistently had the lowest yields. In spring barley, the two treatments with manure and with catch crops consistently had the highest yields. In faba bean, the treatment with manure and without catch crops had the highest yields. As for the effect of E. repens shoots on yield, in spring barley, there was a larger decrease in the system without grass clover. The same tendency was seen for winter wheat. For spring barley and faba bean, within each system (with or without grass clover), the yield in treatments without manure was less influenced by E. repens than in treatments with manure.

Gas prices spike .63 cents in 30 days. Obama says use less gas.
This week Obama said, when asked what should be done to reduce the high price of gas, "People should use less gas."
Kind of reminds me of Marie Antoinette who said when asked what to do about people not having enough bread, "Let them eat cake."

+1ANY president has control of gas prices. I am not saying 100%, but they do have enough control to change it so we, the normal citizens, feel it. I remember 5+ years a go the headline on a newspaper saying gas companies were at all time profits of 75% and higher. Our presidents are on those peoples payroll. He has a big say in the decisions. The presidents are on their boards (partners). They ALL want profit and a president will do what he can to be sure those profits are huge. Oh, you think that because we have a democrat now that profit isn't a concern of his? His own profit??? Yeah right.

If people move to more fuel efficient vehicles cars, more energy efficient dwellings, ect. ect. then naturally they would spend less on gasoline and have more for other usages. He should have said though "We need to work together to decrease the overall gasoline consumption of the nation through research and development, as well as developed government policy. Our goal on this matter is to help the American consumer, and to continue our steps forward on combating climate change in a steady, effective, balanced manner" But with more "Uhhs" I suppose :DDD

- sbtbill 2013/02/23 20:36:50+3We've massively increased oil production. The world outside the US has massively increase oil demand. When a billion Chinese want gas the price is going to go up. Don't forget the Indian's they want to drive around, too.
The private car is a wonderful thing, but we are going to have to come up with other methods of transportation and or fuel or pay a lot more for gas. The President can do a lot but in this case I have to say he can't control the free market. -

- Justified52 2013/02/23 19:18:14+4America needs a strong Domestic drilling program to help offset what's being imported. OPEC is controlling the price per barrel. America can't supply our demand so America puts itself at the mercy of foreign suppliers. High fuel prices are going to hurt Middle Class Americans as time goes along. It is a real issue that America needs to get a handle on. Petroleum based products are used by all Americans on a daily basis high oil prices effect those products that we use as well.

first I removed the 2 screws that mount the element. then removed the lower drawer and loosend the screws that hold the shield in place and removed the shield. unpluged the igniter then replaced the igniter. shield back in place and tightened down the element. repair complete. Note don't handle the black portion of the igniter. to replace the oven light simply remove light cover with a flat blade screw driver and pull out the bulb. It couldn't be easier. Do not pay a repairman for these two simple fixes.
