Cory Monteith, star of hit show 'Glee,' found dead

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Cory Monteith, the heartthrob actor who became an overnight star as a high school quarterback-turned-singer in the hit TV series "Glee" but had battled addiction since his teenage years, was found dead of undisclosed causes in a hotel room, Vancouver police said. He was 31.
Police said Sunday that an autopsy is expected to take place Monday to determine the cause of death. Acting Vancouver Police Chief Doug LePard said late Saturday there was no indication of foul play.
The Canadian-born actor, who played Finn Hudson on the Fox TV series about a high school glee club, was found dead around noon Saturday in his room on the 21st floor of the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel on Vancouver's waterfront, according to police.
Monteith had openly talked about struggling with addiction since he was a teenager, saying he had a serious problem and took just "anything and everything." He told Parade magazine in 2011 that he was "lucky to be alive."
In April, Monteith checked himself in to a treatment facility for "substance addiction" and asked for privacy as he took steps toward recovery, a representative said at the time. It was not his first time in rehab. He received treatment when he was 19.
Lea Michele, his "Glee" co-star and real-life girlfriend, told People magazine at the time that she loved and supported him and was proud he was seeking help.
Michele was requesting privacy after receiving news of Monteith's death, said her representative, Molly Kawachi of ID-PR .

(AP Photo/Chris Pizzello, File)
"We ask that everyone kindly respect Lea's privacy during this devastating time," Kawachi said in in an email to The Associated Press.
Monteith's body was found by hotel staff who entered his room after he missed his check-out time, LePard said. Monteith had checked into the hotel on July 6.
"We do not have a great deal of information as to cause of death," said British Columbia Chief Coroner Lisa Lapointe. She said further tests would be needed to determine how Monteith died.
LePard said Monteith had been out with people earlier and that those people are being interviewed.

MERIDIAN-- A beautiful afternoon in Meridian made for a perfect day to celebrate Arbor Day at Siena Elementary School.
Mayor Tammy de Weerd was on hand as the city received the Tree City USA designation. That's given out by the Arbor Day Foundation and the National Association of State Foresters, if a city meets four guidelines.
One of those includes the city spending at least $2 per capita on a community forestry program.
Sixth grade class president Carson Smith helped plant a tree at the school. He says it was great to support city parks and make the school look beautiful.
It's also great because it gives some of the young grades more information they probably need to know about trees, to know that they're important, said Carson.
Meridian Parks and Recreation Director Steve Siddoway says the city is also planning to add 1,000 trees to Kleiner Park when it opens in June. That will more than double to number of trees in city parks.

I woke up this morning to see all the nice goodbyes. I'm actually tearing up right now. I feel like Sally Fields did back in 1985 at her acceptance speech for Norma Rae - "you really like me, you really like me."
All your heartfelt thoughts mean alot to me. Thanks for sharing them with me.

Hope you health & happiness in your journeys.
Tell us about your great scents on trips...
thebeck- I remember reading a post of yours a couple of years ago. For the life of me, I can't remember what it was about now (probably M), though at the time it compelled me to do a 'find all posts' search on you. I ended up reading back through about 6 months of your posts, maybe more. I learned a lot from them and I have looked out for new posts ever since. You are a very knowledgeable guy and your contributions on the boards will be sorely missed. Good luck on your next chapter.
All the best to you, Ken!
Enjoy your retirement. Wishing you all the best!
Hey Ken, you always have something interesting to say. And you're not afraid to stand up for where your nose leads you. I appreciated your fresh perspective on fragrances and I can't help but think and hope that . . . you'll be back!
I do hope you still post from time to time. You've swayed me to try more than a few thing and I still love the De Bachmakov you sold me.. Take care!!
To one of the best who ever took this thing seriously. We are all a bit more wiser to have obtained knowledge in this thing of ours. Good luck and GOD BLESS!
Best wishes man!!

Hello everyone!
Just found it in my old backups, was meant to be submitted into one of those wallpaper contests 2 years ago but never made it in so I thought I will just share it with you. Initially, there was also some text/headline over it, but over the years I have learned to appreciate wallpapers without text so hopefully you will feel the same way.
It was meant as a little tribute to our wonderful community, the color heart (Envato logo) of the wallpaper is made out of unique avatars, all hand-picked, so there should be no duplicates—who finds one gets tacos
1280×800 1280×1024 1360×768 1366×768 1440×900 1600×900 1680×1050 1920×1080 1920×1200 2560×1440
If I missed some size, just let me know.
Hope you like it Cheers guys!

Jimmie Johnson turns heat up on Brad Keselowski
Keselowski won six races for Earnhardt before moving on to Penske Racing and a Sprint Cup Series ride, and with a month to go in the season, Earnhardt predicted Keselowski would hang with Johnson all the way until the end.
"I don't think he's going to crack. I think he's going to be hard to beat," Earnhardt said. "I think he will be a tough competitor all the way through. Brad has been waiting on this opportunity all his life so I don't expect him to crack under the pressure."
Keselowski opened the Chase with a win at Chicago and picked up another victory at Dover to take control of the championship fight, but Johnson used consecutive wins at Martinsville and Texas to take a seven-point lead into Phoenix last weekend. A blown tire there caused Johnson to crash, and now Keselowski has a nice cushion that's certainly giving him some peace of mind.
Johnson said the weekend is young.
"He may be very comfortable and calm now, it may not happen until he's in the car, but at some point that magnitude hits," Johnson said. "I've lived through it five times. That's a turning moment, and we'll see how he responds. This just isn't any other race. This is the championship race, and there's a lot that comes with that."
Keselowski insists he wouldn't have it any other way.
"I want the pressure. That's what I want. That's what makes it worth something," he said. "Without those questions, why am I doing that? I'm just driving a car in a circle. Without having a motivation, it doesn't mean anything. You can't strip away your motivation just to remove yourself from pressure because then you can't justify your existence."

For bass guitarist Paul Jacob, who has been participating in the Berlin international music festival for over a decade, Thursday provided a never-before opportunity.
When he teamed up with Kaniyaan Koothu artistes from Tenkasi in Tirunelveli district and struck up an introductory piece intertwined with the beats of 'magudam' and 'mandam' — the percussion instruments of the Koothu — the result was terrific.
The crowd that had gathered at the YMCA grounds in Royapettah for Pongal and Tamil New Year celebrations organised by Kalai Ikakkiya Pakutharivu Peravai, at once, sat up and took notice.
"The art form resembles Western Blues exactly and has all the elements of an international theatre. It has a story, percussion, dance, vocal music, classicism and even classic ragas," said Mr. Jacob, who went on to accompany the Kaniyaan Koothu artistes as they brought alive the story of Mariammal, a folk deity.
Kaniyaan Koothu, performed by Kaniyaan, a community now listed under Scheduled Tribes, is the main feature of festivals (kodai) of folk deities, especially the annual festival of Sudalai Madan, the graveyard god. According to legend, he is the incarnation of Lord Shiva, the destructor.
The main singer or 'annavi' is accompanied by another singer when he narrates stories of folk deities punctuating them with songs set to classical ragas and folk tunes. Two men in the guise of women dance to the beats. "This is a demanding art form as we have to sing, dance and play instruments for hours together. Though it is a folk form, it can reach a wider audience if accompanied by other instruments," said V. Manikandan, the 'annavi'.
Karaikal Venkat, a violinist, who accompanied the troupe, said he was totally unprepared for the performance and was enthralled by the skills of the folk artistes.
"They maintained perfect 'sruthi' and effortlessly rendered ragas such as 'bhairavi', 'shanmugapriya', 'saramathi' and 'kedaragowla'. But it was the percussion instruments — played on the 'valanthalai' and 'thopi' separately, but in perfect tandem — that caught my imagination," said Mr. Venkat.
Mr. Jacob said he had decided to take the Kaniyan Koothu troupe to the Berlin festival next year.

Cardozo is a good player but you'd probably be paying over-the-odds for a 30-year-old.
Chelsea won't buy him back. I think he may go, but Benfica will ask a silly price (like the quoted 40m) so he's more likely to stay or go to Russia.
Not surprised in the Schalke interest, Huntelaar had injury problems this year and they only have Pukki left. Would make sense although I'd rather they show more ambition and go for someone young to bring through.
The rumour is City are not considering Cavani at all anymore. Chelsea in the driving seat and are trying to drive a 50m euro deal through before Ancelotti signs on for Madrid.
Bayern want 30m which to be honest is silly and must frustrate Gomez. I think he'll replace Cavani in the end, but Fiorentina will push harder if Jovetic goes.
I see Arsenal holding. He's good but there are better options out there.
And Dejan Lovren has signed for Southampton. Just for a little kudos for myself I said there was a bid a few weeks ago.

" Brand: Tesco / Type: Disinfectants / Category: Cleaning & Disinfectant "
I was carrying out a coursework study on many different disinfectants, and believe it or not this brand came out particularly high, killing all three types of bacteria I tested on (E.Coli, S.Epidermidis and B.Subtilis) at least, if not more, efficiently as brands such as Dettol and Savlon. I thought this outcome was quite interesting given that this is a supermarket brand!
Tesco Antiseptic Fresh Disinfectant seemed like a bargain buy at the time. I needed something quickly to use to get rid of a nasty patch of sick in the back of my car, and as far as I was aware, disinfectant is disinfectant - surely there can't be a whole lot of difference between Tesco own brand and a big name like Dettol? Wrong again cheapskate Dave.
A bottle of this set me back only 56p for a 500ml bottle (now showing as 55p on the Tesco Online website). That's compared to £2.67 for a 500ml bottle of Dettol disinfectant, which is probably the best known brand name for this kind of product. I thought I was saving myself over £2 by buying this Tesco own brand instead of the Dettol I had been instructed to purchase.
I realised my mistake almost immediately, as when I opened the bottle, I got a very faint whiff of watered-down Dettol. When I open up a bottle of disinfectant, bearing in mind the powerful cleansing properties you would expect it to have, I expect an overwhelming chemically-hospital-type aroma to come wafting out. But as I said before, I was sadly disappointed.
Pouring the liquid out I found that it was thin and just watery as it smelled. For some reason it's a grass green colour, and it reminded me of flat limeade - only flat limeade would have probably done the job a lot better than this did. After use, I couldn't really smell anything of this product, despite the fact that I used it neat. The label recommends that you use it watered down, but I felt that they'd done that enough for me already.
I poured what remained of this down the sink and returned to Tesco for a bottle of Dettol. I can't possibly recommend this to anyone, it's cheap for a reason. Maybe it does have some disinfectant properties, but if it can't even get rid of the smell from a bit of sick, I can't be too hopeful about that.

"Fantastic house in a quiet location."
We had a lovely holiday here in the first two weeks of July. The house is amazing, much nicer than our own house! Open plan, loads of space, very clean and well equipped. It was the best house in the estate in terms of position, garden size and privacy from the road. We loved the pool and got into a nice routine of spending the morning at the beach and the afternoon around the pool. There are a lot of unoccupied houses around so its very quiet but we actually liked this. You do need a car to enjoy the surrounding area which has a lot to offer. I have just read the previous review and feel that if they wanted lots of shops and restaurants nearby and a larger pool etc then they would have to pay much much more than this villa costs. That sort of villa does exist but at a much heftier price tag. So I would highly recommend this villa if you are looking for great value accommodation in quiet surroundings. Perfect for young families. This was our first trip to Portugal and we also found the cost of living and eating out to be very reasonable compared with other European countries.

Thank you for taking the time to submit your review and we are pleased you enjoyed various aspects of your stay in the villa in early June.
Firstly, can we apologise for the mix up between ourselves and our agent in Portugal. This is the first time this has happened but the villa was clean and ready for your arrival.
The mouse in the pool is beyond our control as the modern design means it is set into the garden and it is clear the unfortunate thing couldn't see it in the dark. I'm sure you'll appreciate that we cannot do anything about this but we do make sure the pool is cleaned and checked regularly so our guests are able to enjoy it.
We also feel that we did make it clear that you would need a car for your holiday to visit shops and restaurants, the nearest being only 5 mins away. The walk to the lagoon is a gentle 10 minute stroll.
There are no derelict houses on Perola da Lagoa. The development was only complete in 2009. Whilst some of the villas may not be occupied - all are complete and our particular cul de sac is very private and with a lovely and expansive garden which is not overlooked.
The guestbook left in the house is merely for guests to offer suggestions to other guests on best restaurants, recommended places to visit etc so that incoming guests can get some ideas. Our guests find this very useful. The book includes some pages in the front from the previous year when a child had spoiled the book and we wanted to rescue the useful comments for our guests. We can 100% assure you that none of the comments are missing and all of our previous guests have been highly satisfied with their stay.

The Creative Sound Blaster X7 offers a ridiculous number of features for the money and sound quality is generally very good, but its appeal is limited.
X-mini's first non-capsule speaker is a pretty good effort, but it's a little too pricey when compared to the Creative Sound Blaster Roar, which also has an active subwoofer.
At a convenient size for luggage or leaving in a car, the Bolt Power X-5 Mini offers versatility in charging personal electronics and becomes essential in an automotive emergency kit.
The second version of X-Mini's Kai features a new ceramic driver for better sound, and improved battery life.
The Mini X definitely improves on the original with more advanced video features, better mics, and linear PCM audio recording.
With an SSD in its detachable tablet and a HDD in the keyboard base, HP's Split x2 has fewer compromises than other hybrids.
Toshiba's ambitious Kirabook has a screen that rivals Apple's MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and a price to match. It's a solid, useful laptop, but for these prices, the design should really be more exciting.
Pricing not available
While their price is a little too steep, the X7i earphones are slick-looking and comfortable, and deliver clean, detailed sound.
A bland effort, the HP Envy 23 has nothing to recommend it over other Windows 8 touch-screen all-in-ones.
With or without its new Fusion hybrid drive, Apple finally has a Mac Mini that competes well against mainstream Windows PCs in the same price range.

Music and dance came together in an effective narrative at two different events at the IIC
The past week brought to the fore presentations out of the ordinary, with music and the raga taking a prominent place. Mounted by Alap of Chennai was Navarasa at the India International Centre (IIC), woven around Mahabharata hero Arjuna, conceptualised as a storytelling event by V.R. Devika, who was the raconteur. The mood underlined in each situation was evoked through fluent Carnatic singing by Suma Sumashekharan, whose commendable rendition was without the backup of instrumental support barring percussion on mridangam and khanjira by Akshay Anantapadmanabhan. Suma, after learning music in Singapore, and Akshay, tutored in the U.S. as a resident, have returned to Chennai, showing a trend opposite to what happened in the past — Diaspora's talented musicians now homing for India.
A prince with many women in his life, like Draupadi, Chitrangada, Ulupi, Urvashi and his real love Subhadra, Arjuna as the "sringar nayaka" was evoked through an Ashtapadi, the "Suddha Sarang" sung with deep feeling, aptly bringing out the mood. The episode highlighting the valour of Arjuna, who rescued even Duryodhana, his enemy, from the clutches of Chitrasena, after Devika's animated narration, found the chivalrous tones in raga Shivashakti, through a Bharatiyar song "Daga, daga, daga venradumo", the staccato, onomatopoeic sounds suggesting the mood. Arjuna, gifted the Pashupata weapon by Shiva, after strict penance and being tested by the God — who in a hunter's guise fights over the boar felled by simultaneous arrows aimed by both Arjuna and Shiva — is wonder-struck at the magnificence of the Lord, whose one touch makes all impurities disappear from Arjuna's body. The lyric "Sri Jaalandaramaashayaam yaham", a composition of Mysore Maharaja in Gambhira Nattai with solfa passages, evoked the feel of wonderment, notwithstanding the irrelevance of the sahitya to the situation. The Kandava forest being consumed by Agni's raging fire, with Arjuna's unchivalrous act of creating a canopy over the forest with his arrows to prevent Lord Indra's rains from dousing the flames, with the smell of burning flesh of all the forest creatures, creates revulsion . "Bagaye naiyya nee maayalendo", a Tyagaraja kriti in Chandrajyoti, was too melodious to catch such negative feelings of disgust, though Arjuna is mentioned in the text, in a totally different context. Arjuna's compassion in saving Maya saw raga Shahana rendered in alap without words — very evocative. So was Hasyam, the mood of mirth — the incident being when Arjuna and Draupadi greet Duryodhana's antics in the Pandava palace with loud, derisive laughter. The interspersed swara phrases in "Shankarabharanam", coming as punctuation points in Devika's very amused recounting, were very effective. Equally indicative of the required mood was the choice of raga Ahir Bhairav with Krishna epithets like "Madhava", "Madhusoodana", "Keshava" and "Govinda" sung in the raga, fully illustrative of Arjuna's mood at Kurkshetra — with fear about the future assailing him as he gazes from his chariot at the brothers, cousins, playmates and wise men he now has to wage war against.
The slaughtering of Abhimanyu kindles deep rage in Arjuna, who swears that he will slay Jayadhrata before sunset, and raga Revathi with the tanam syllables spelt the mood fittingly. Desh was the typical raga for tranquillity and quiet, with Arjuna in sanyas after the death of Krishna and a body weakening with age realising that Time creates and destroys, and that beneath all this is the deep calm. For the fair-sized gathering, the evening was a very fulfilling experience.
Another well-designed programme, "Ashtadarshanam", at the same venue, was crafted by vocalist Sudha Raghuraman, and mounted with the help of the Ministry of Cultural Affairs. Supported by dancer Geeta Chandran's inputs, it emphasised the bhava/ raga concept through both music and Bharatanatyam. In crying form, Sudha Raghuraman's singing provided the foundation for the programme, beginning with the rendering of a slokam in ragamalika mentioning the nava vidha bhakti, the bhakti-sringar blend, concluding with sringar as the king of rasas ("sab ras se hei adhik saras sringar").
The first scene was built around abstract music, with no sahitya — the violin and the voice providing snatches of raga as Geeta wove an expressive narrative comprising known images associated with sringar, depicting the "vasakasajja" nayika adorning herself and preparing the room lovingly for the joyously expected Nayaka, finally stepping out as the abhisarika in search of her loved one, braving the dangers of the dark and the forest. Images of disappointment and disillusion follow his non-arrival, the singing cuckoo intensifying her agony as the jilted nayika rejects the man who later appears at her doorstep.
The male perspective in sringar saw Sudha in a bhava-soaked rendition of Arunachala Kavirayar's "Yaro ivar yaro" in Bhairavi, with Geeta's version based on two verses from late 11th and early 12th Century "Chaurapanchakshika", portraying Bilhana (facing death under the king's orders) reminiscing on his love. In the first verse, the flute alap in Shahana followed by Sudha's singing provided soulful music, with communicative abhinaya by Geeta. The second verse showed Amaravati as "roshita mukhi" rejecting Bilhana's advances in anger. With the words set to Rasikapriya, a vakra raga, Geeta's depiction needed more intensity. The piece de resistance of the evening was the Ashtapadi in Suddha Sarang, "Keshi mathanam udaram", Sudha's deeply involved singing with Geeta's gestural and expressional interpretation in the seated position, along with mood lighting by Deepa Dharmadhikari who created just that feel of darkness even as one could see Geeta's presentation clearly, all blending in a very absorbing experience.
Another excellent singing effort evoked the Khandita Nayika in a Swati Tirunal Javali in Behag ticking off the flirtatious Nayaka, "Saaramaina maataunta tsalu tsalu ra (Enough of your talk)" wonderfully sung.
The next lyric in the bhakti mould was Gopalakrishna Bharati's "Enneramum undan sannidiyil" in Devagandhari, the devotee addressing Lord Nataraja, asking for nothing but eternal service at the Lord's feet.
Concluding moments of SNA Festival
Easily a highlight, the Kerala Thayambaka presentation led by Chenda expert awardee Mattanur Sankarankutty held the audience spellbound with the vigour of the inspired drumming, versatility of playing, the sheer speed and the myriad talas executed, along with the majestic way in which the troupe comprising Idanthala, Valanthala and Ilathalam blended so smoothly, the cymbal playing at the back also equally awe-inspiring in dexterity.
The Kathakali Narakasura scene with P.V. Vijayakumar as Narakasura, a Kathi character, and Kalamandalam Amaljith as his wife, became a tame event, thanks to too much editing of what is a long scene. To add to the travails of over-cutting, inability of the main Chenda player to arrive from Kerala deprived the main actor of the energetic accompaniment that inspires and lends emotive appeal to the performance. The vocal accompaniment was by artistes Sadanam Radhakrishnan and Kalamandalam Manikandan from International Centre for Kathakali.
"Draupadi Vastrapaharanam" by the Thambiran Parambarai Therukoothu Manram, Thiruvannamalai, had all the vigour of this theatre form, particularly in the second half. Purisai Kannappa Sambandan as Dushasana was vibrant, the different types of footwork and movements along with the singing and the dialogue making for an energetic combination.

(HOLLYWOOD, CA) -- Angelina Armani has come a long way since she launched her adult entertainment career. From starting off as a gonzo girl, to becoming a Digital Playground contract star, to evolving into one of the most promising new superstarlets of today.
Already a Nightmoves Best New Starlet winner, Armani was recently nominated for one of Adult Video News' most prestigious awards, their Best New Starlet. A performer who delivers exciting sex scenes, like in the uniformly well received hit Starlets from Elegant Angel; Armani is also a star that cares about the industry that she is a part of.
This past Wednesday, Angelina flew to the capitol of California with the Free Speech Coalition to take part of their lobbying against mandatory condom use in adult films. The members of the FSC went to speak with legislators about the safety in the adult industry workplace. As a performer, Angelina was able to give a realistic perspective on working on adult entertainment sets that the legislators may have been naive to.
''I was honored to accompany the FSC to Sacramento,'' Armani said. ''It gave an opportunity to have a performer dispel misconceptions the bill makers at the capitol may have had about our industry. It is of dire importance that performers get involved with what the FSC is trying to accomplish as they are there to protect our right to perform and make adult entertainment. I plan to take part of more of the FSCs activities in future and encourage my fellow performers to do the same.''
After her day in Sacramento, Armani caught a flight to begin her set of dates appearing at Lone Star Pornutopia III. Fans of adult entertainment can meet the XXX Supermodel as she makes her first ever Houston appearance. The show begun on Dec. 10 and continues through the 12th. Armani will be promoting her latest DVD releases including the aforementioned Starlets (Elegant Angel), not Monday Night Football XXX (All Media Play/Hustler) and Teachers (Digital Playground).
''Im excited about meeting my Houston fans,'' Angelina noted. ''Everyone at Quest Magazine (the shows organizers) has been really great and Lone Star Pornutopia is an amazing event to take part of.''
More information about Lone Star Pornutopia III can be found on the shows official website QuestParty.com. Armani will be on hand to pose for pictures and sign autographs.
Angelina Armani, an 2010 AVN Awards nominee for Best New Starlet who is making a show of support to FSC. Yet another reason why Armani is the perfect choice for the award!

text: According to a new report, beach water in Louisiana is ranked as some of the worst in the nation. The Natural Resources Defense Council says Louisiana ranks #26 out of 30 states for beach water quality. Tenny Sibley is the Sanitarian Director for the Department of Health and Hospitals. She attributes the low ranking to several factors. "Louisiana has a tremendous amount of wildlife along the coast," said Sibley. "Lots of fowl, birds defecating over the water which is a contaminant. We have a lot of boaters throwing waster overboard." The report says 25 of Louisiana's 31 coastal beaches were sampled last year and 19% of the water tested was found to exceed the Environmental Protection Agency public health guideline for bacteria pollution. Sibley says we all need to work to control the sources of contamination. "Basically that's our human element," Sibley says. "Enjoy the water, that's great. But contain your waste and keep it out of the water." Sibley says we have a lot of water fowl who deficate in the water and the farmland runoff waste into the water is also causing the bacteria level to increase. She says it's important that humans not dump their waste into the water and contribute to the problem. Sibley says this does not mean our beaches aren't safe. "Any natural body of water is going to have bacteria in the water," said Sibley. "There is nothing you can do about it. It's there and you just need to be aware of it and take precautions."

UNION — The Union Rotary Club's longstanding commitment to support efforts to promote literacy continued this week with the club donating $3,500 to the Union County Carnegie Library's eBooks program.
In July, Rotarian Robbie Littlejohn announced that the club's request to Rotary District 7750 for a $1,750 Future Vision Grant to help the library make eBooks accessible to the residents of Union County had been approved. Littlejohn said that the grant, together with a $1,750 match provided by the club, would enable Rotary to provide the library with a total of $3,500 to help it implement the eBooks program.
That $3,500 was presented to Union County Carnegie Library Director Ben Loftis by Union Rotary Club Acting President Lewis Jeter during the club's meeting on Tuesday at Covenant Baptist Church.
"We're very happy to be doing this," Jeter said. "We entered into a project with them on July 1 to provide the library with eBooks. We applied for the Future Vision Grant to do this and we raised the balance through our fund raising activities including the aluminum can project and donations from Rotary Club members."
Jeter pointed out that the club and the library are both organizations dedicating to serving the people of Union County and that the club remained committed to doing so, both with the library and other local groups.
"Like Rotary, the library is committed to serving the people of Union County," Jeter said. "We look forward to continuing to do so with the library and other local institutions."
In its application for the Future Vision Grant, the club stated it was doing so to "continue supporting literacy efforts and enhance the opportunities for reading in our community to decrease the literacy problem in Union County and surrounding areas. This project will allow the Union County Carnegie Library to make e-books accessible to the residents of Union County and cardholders of the Union County Carnegie Library from surrounding areas."
The application points out that "the rise of e-readers over the last several years has created significant demand for e-books among readers. According to a Pew survey released in late 2012, the number of Americans reading e-books grew from 16 percent to 23 percent over a one-year period (from 2011-2012), while 33 percent of the population owns either an e-reading device or a tablet computer such as an iPad or Kindle Fire. During the same period of time, readers of printed books fell from 72 percent to 67 percent."
In addition, the the application stated that "six of the seven libraries in counties bordering Union offer e-books to their patrons. As a result, the Union Carnegie Library is losing patrons to surrounding counties and residents of Union County are placed at a disadvantage as their counterparts in neighboring counties have access to additional resources and technology."
Since the announcement of the approval of the club's request for the Future Vision Grant, the library has move forward with the eBooks project.
As of March 5, the library has made eBooks and audiobooks available to the public online. The service is free to library card holders who can access the eBooks and audiobooks by visiting http://jasmine.lib.overdrive.com. By using the site, library card holders can borrow popular digital media anytime and anywhere.
In announcing the implementation of the service, Loftis said that users can browse the digital collection online, borrow titles with a valid library card, and enjoy on all major computers and devices, including iPhone®, iPad®, Nook®, Android™ phones and tablets, and Kindle®. He said that eBooks can be read immediately on any device with an Internet browser and all titles will automatically expire at the end of the lending period.
Loftis added that visitors to the website can find helpful tools and information, including contacting support, by clicking the help button on the digital collection.
In accepting the $3,500 donation Tuesday, Loftis thanked his fellow Rotarians for their support of the library over the years and enabling it to finally achieve its goal of providing its patrons with access to online digital content.
"The library is really appreciative of the support from the Rotary Club of Union over the years," Loftis said. "We're really excited this year to begin offering eBooks to the community. This is something we've been wanting to do for a while and we're thrilled that the Rotary Club has made this possible."
For more information about the eBooks service, visit the Union County Carnegie Library website (unionlibrary.org) which also provides a link to the digital collection catalog.

Boston's Logan airport probing runway scare, FAA says
BOSTON (Reuters) – U.S. aviation authorities are probing a
runway scare at Boston's Logan airport involving an American
Airlines jet that abruptly aborted take-off this week to avoid
another aircraft, air officials said on Thursday.
Nobody was injured in Tuesday's incident. But it was the
16th of its kind at the airport since October 2004, raising
concern about safety at one of the nation's busiest airfields
that handles 420,000 departures and arrivals a year.
The FAA said the incident occurred when a regional jet with
18 people on board landed and crossed a runway on which an
American Airlines MD-82 carrying 131 people had begun its
The regional jet operated by American Eagle, a unit of
American Airlines , had been instructed by a tower controller
to stay at a runway after landing and to remain on the same
radio frequency, said Jim Peters, a spokesman for the
But without the tower's approval, the pilot switched to
ground control, which gave conflicting instructions, telling
the plane to cross the runway on which the American Airlines
aircraft was starting to take off, Peters added.
Spotting the regional jet, the tower controller tried to
call its crew, but they had already switched to a different
radio frequency. Unable to reach them, he told the American
Airlines pilots to abort take-off.
The aircraft came within 1,700 ft of each other, Peters
said. The Boston Globe newspaper, however, on Thursday cited a
source close to the investigation saying the planes were less
than 1,000 ft apart.
"It's being investigated as an operational error, meaning a
mistake was made by a controller, and also as a pilot
deviation," Peters said. Pilots must have approval from the
tower controller before switching radio frequencies, he said.
The FAA is sending a team familiar with Logan to evaluate
its operations and determine what could be done to avoid
similar incursions.
In August, the aviation watchdog and MassPort, which
operates Logan, said it would curb runway incursions after a
similar incident involving a FedEx Corp. Airbus A300 cargo jet
and a JetBlue flight.

Susan Weckesser's Fun Stuffed Star tutorial allows you to create an adorable fabric ornament pattern in no time. Soft toy crafts like these function as versatile decorations and gifts for friends and family.
- 12 inches of fabric (Any fabric is fine; however the fabric that I used was
- Stuffing
- Sewing machine
- Thread
- Ribbon
- Beads
- Embellishments (rhinestones, buttons, lace, etc.)
- Glue
- Straight pins
- Safety pins
- Template

- You then knot and pin your ribbons to the corners.
- Sew the good sides of the fabric together using a machine and leaving a 11/2" opening to flip in right side out.
- After you have done that stuff it up, hand sew the opening and the fun part remains!

City says Over-The-Line plays by the rules
Organizers secure special alcohol permits
Floatopia is dangerous, given the crowds and lack of control, she said, and "Over-The-Line is a San Diego tradition."
City Councilman Kevin Faulconer, who pushed for the alcohol ban at beaches, said this is not about a storied organization getting a pass. "They go through the process," he said. "They follow the rules. They take it very seriously."
The event just happens to be much larger than others that get permits allowing alcohol, he said.
OMBAC does jump through a lot of hoops. It goes through a complicated permitting process and pays for extra police staffing. Last year's bill was $43,000, Martin said. It also provides signs telling people where they can drink.
Floatopia was costing as much as $20,000 for extra lifeguards and police officers, but the partygoers didn't foot the bill. Taxpayers did.
Lt. Mark Hanten of the San Diego Police Department's special events operations unit has overseen the tournament the past two years and said it's run efficiently with few problems.
"I've been very impressed," he said.
OMBAC doesn't get rich off the event. According to 2008 tax returns, it made $525,628 from Over-the Line, but had expenses totaling $475,079.
The group gave money to various charitable causes including the Multiple Sclerosis Bikeathon, the Over-The-Line Wheelchair Tournament and events run by the Boys' Club, according to the tax documents.
Martin's organization was concerned when the alcohol ban first took effect and even considered canceling Over-the-Line if the prohibition would affect the tournament. Beer drinking has been associated with the event for years.
"If there's no alcohol, who's to know what would happen," Martin said.

TELL CITY - Louie Heitkemper, co-chair of the Tell City 2010 Census Complete County Committee, received the word this week that census-related jobs are still available.
Positions offer good pay, flexible 40-hour schedules and mileage reimbursement for field-related positions.
For more information, call (866) 861-2010.
DEXTER — Crossroads Church has drawn worshippers for more than a century. Now its exterior is getting a little tender loving care. The public can help support the effort through donations. Church member Linda Schraner said she and the congregation are working to raise the $8,000 needed to replace clapboard on the front and rear of the church.
"It's thin and worn after 117 years," Schraner said this week.
TELL CITY - A teenage boy was detained last Monday after he allegedly forced a younger boy to perform a sex act on him in Zoercher-Bettinger Park.
Detective Alan Malone said the teen was detained and later released to his parents. He faces a possible charge of child molesting. A neighbor saw the sex act taking place and called police. Malone declined to give the ages of the juveniles but said there was a seven-year age difference between the alleged perpetrator and the victim.
TELL CITY—Tell City senior middle hitter Elizabeth Kohnert was named to the All-PAC volleyball team chosen by conference coaches Monday.
Kohnert led the Marksmen in kills with 301 and blocks with 112. "I would say probably 60 to 70 of those were solo blocks," said Tell City Coach Dalonda Hayes.
Added Hayes, "She's got a lot of natural athletic ability. Since I've been here she's probably my best blocker ever—her timing's great.
NASHVILLE—Eric Scheiber placed 13th to lead Perry Central to fourth place in the 20-team Brown County boys cross country semistate Saturday.
That qualified the Commodores for the state meet, to be held at noon Saturday at LaVern Gibson Championship course at Wabash Valley Sports Center in Terre Haute.
"We ran pretty well from a team perspective," said Perry Central Coach Jason Barnett. "We weren't that far out of third place (12 points behind Bloomington South).
LYNNVILLE—Cannelton made no kills or ace serves in a 25-3, 25-8, 25-9 loss to Tecumseh in the Class A volleyball sectional Saturday.
After Cannelton had a side out on its first serve, Teri Newmaster served nine consecutive points for the Braves to give them a 10-0 lead. The Bulldogs were unable to successfully return most of her serves.
Rebecca Brown added 11 consecutive points, including one ace, as Tecumseh increased its lead to 22-1.
Tecumseh also had big serving turns early in the next two games.
LEOPOLD—Perry Central will try to contain one of the state's leading rushers when two of the top five Class A football teams in the state meet in the sectional semifinals Friday at 6:30 p.m.
The Commodores, 9-1 and ranked fifth in the final Class A state coaches poll, will host North Daviess, 9-1 and ranked fourth in that poll.
The Cougars' offense is led by Ryan Webster, a 5-foot-9, 185-pound senior running back.
POSEYVILLE—Continued improvement on defense could be the key to Tell City's chances in its football sectional semifinal game at North Posey Friday at 7 p.m.
The Marksmen scored 22 points in a regular-season loss to North Posey Oct. 2, which was then their highest total of the season.
But they gave up 45 points that night. However they have not given up more than two touchdowns in regulation play in any of their three games since.
The 7-3 Vikings will test Tell City's defense with a strong running game.

The original Oculus Rift prototypes used a sensor that was readily available on the market, but ultimately we decided to develop our own sensor hardware to achieve an optimal experience. With the new Oculus VR sensor, we support sampling rates up to 1000hz, which minimizes the time between the player's head movement and the game engine receiving the sensor data to roughly 2 milliseconds. The increased sampling rates also reduce orientation error by providing a denser dataset to integrate over, making the player's real-world movements more in-sync with the game.

Should be:

The article mentions nothing of 1ms latency head tracking... it does mention the wireless communication latency being 1ms, however. This is a very important distinction as the latency of head tracking is what the Occulus Rift has appeared to have put the most effort into via their custom 3-way merged sensor chip.

Mid-Day ETF Update: ETFs, Stocks Trim Losses Following Mixed Economic Data
Active broad-market exchange-traded funds in Thursday's regular session:
SPDR S&P 500 ( SPY ): -0.15%, but near its 52-week high.
iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ( EEM ): -2%
PowerShares QQQ Trust, Series 1 ( QQQ ): -0.3%, but near 52 week highs.
iShares MSCI Japan Index ( EWJ ): -0.8%
Market Vectors Gold Miners ( GDX ): -1.6%, with a new 52-week low
Broad Market Indicators
Most broad-market exchange-traded funds, including SPY, IWM, IVV and others, were weaker. Likewise, PowerShares QQQ ( QQQ ) was down 0.3%, but still near its 52-week high.
Most U.S. stocks were also in negative territory, but most have pared off losses at session's half. Following the initial surge on the back of the Fed's policy announcement late Wednesday, market sentiment has lost some of its optimism on today's mixed economic data. Weekly jobless claims jumped to their highest level since late March, while existing home sales for November declined 4.3% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.9 million. The Philadelphia Fed's manufacturing index rose to 7 in December, but this missed expectations. Leading indicators index showed a more upbeat reading, rising to 98.3 for November; this indicates a modest expansion in the U.S. economy.
Power Play: Energy
Dow Jones U.S. Energy Fund (IYE) has turned slightly positive while Energy Select Sector SPDR (XLE) was also up.
In sector news, USEC (USU) was up more than 20%, but still at the low end of its 52 week range after it said the United States Department of Energy is prepared to extend the American Centrifuge cooperative research, development and demonstration program for three months beyond January 15, 2014, subject to Congressional appropriations. DOE and USEC will share costs of the program on an 80%/20% basis for a total funding level of approximately $10 million per month.
Winners and Losers
Select Financial Sector SPDRs (XLF) was slightly lower, but near its 52-week high. Direxion Daily Financial Bull 3X shares (FAS) was down 0.4%. Its bearish counterpart, FAZ, was up 0.4%.
Tech funds, including Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK) and iShares Dow Jones US Technology ETF (IYW) were mixed. iShares S&P North American Technology-Software Index (IGV) and iShares S&P North American Technology ETF (IGM) were higher and both reached new 52-week highs.
SPDR S&P Semiconductor (XSD) and Semiconductor Sector Index Fund (SOXX) were weaker but still near their respective 52-week highs.
In sector news, IAC/InterActiveCorp (IACI) was up more than 15% and hit a new 52-week high after the company said as part of its reorganization efforts, Greg Blatt, the company's CEO, will become the chairman of the newly created Match Group, which will initially consist of IAC's Match businesses, Tutor.com, DailyBurn and IAC's investment in Skyllzone. Sam Yagan, the CEO of Match, will become CEO of the Group, and will focus on growing the dating businesses, leveraging best practices across the Match Group, and expanding the Match Group portfolio beyond its current verticals. Blatt will step down as CEO of IACI, and the company does not intend to name a new CEO. Instead, Joey Levin, CEO of Search & Applications, and Kerry Trainor, CEO of Vimeo, will now report directly to Barry Diller, the chairman and senior executive of the company.
Crude was up 0.87% and natural gas was up 4.37%. United States Oil Fund (USO) was up 1.5%; United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG) was up 3.8%.
Gold was down 2.88% and SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) was down 2% and nearer to 52 week lows. Silver was down while iShares Silver Trust (SLV) was down 3%, and also closer to its 52 week lows.
Health Care SPDR (XLV) and other healthcare funds Vanguard Health Care ETF (VHT) and iShares Dow Jones US Healthcare (IYH) were weaker today. iShares NASDAQ Biotechnology Index (IBB) was down too, 0.5% lower.
Among stocks, Neogen Corporation (NEOG), which makes food and animal safety products, said Q2 net income was $6.2 million, compared with $6.79 million a year ago. Adjusted for a 3-for-2 stock split effective Oct. 31, 2013, EPS were $0.17, compared to $0.19 a year ago, below the consensus forecast for $0.19 on Capital IQ. Revenues increased 17% to $59.59 million, helped by two acquisitions completed this year and beating analysts' estimates of $58.1 million. The company's earnings compare unfavorably with last year when an outbreak of aflatoxin and DON in the U.S. and EU grain markets pushed up revenue. The stock is down more than 7%.
Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR (XLP), iShares Dow Jones US Consumer Goods (IYK) and Vanguard Consumer Staples ETF (VDC) were weaker but still trading at the higher end of their 52-week ranges.
Retail ETFs SPDR S&P Retail (XRT) and PowerShares Dynamic Retail (PMR) were also lower; Market Vectors Retail ETF (RTH) slipped into the red but reached a new 52-week high of $60.70 earlier.
Among stocks, Rite-Aid (RAD) shares were down some 9% after it reported Q3 revenues of $6.36 billion, up from $6.2 billion a year prior. The Street expected $6.3 billion in revenues, according to Capital IQ estimates. Net income was $0.04 per diluted share, including $0.03 per share related to redeeming preferred stock,vs. $0.07 per share a year prior. Analysts expected $0.04 per share. RAD also updated its fiscal 2014 guidance with sales expected to be between $25.3 billion and $25.425 billion and same store sales to range from an increase of 0.35 percent to 0.85 percent compared to fiscal 2013. The Street consensus is $25.3 billion in revenue and earnings of $0.22 per share.

My Take on Yonex Poly tour spin string
View Single Post
Join Date: May 2012
Location: UK
Posts: 471
right guys i played with YPTS fullbed in my 2012 PD
had a good hour and a half hitting with this in doubles/singles
i strung this at 52/50 and for the first few hits it seemed very underpowered but loads and loads of spin,i even added 4grams @12 of bluetack to help with a bit more power to hit the baseline as my shots were dropping well short and ended up being sitting ducks!!!!!
after an hour i started to hit better and better with this string,power was a lot lot better so i removed the bluetack and the power was just how i liked it,not to much and not one shot flew long as the spin i added dropped them in like dive bombers lol
1st serve was ok but lacked power, but the second serve (kick serve) was very good so am happy enough.
FH/BH topspin were great and as said they dropped into the court like dive bombers.
volleys/drop shots-now this is where this setup blew my mind,so much control on the volleys and the drop shots were killers,ive never played so well at the net and killed a point so quick.
comfort-well for a full poly what can i say,i suffer from TE/GE and wear a strap and not once did i feel any after effects,i no the strap helps but i felt nothing and again for a full bed of poly it was great.
im back on court (weather pending) thursday for a 2 hour hitting practice so i will add to my post if there,s any major issues,im very impressed so far so fingers crossed.
cheers garry
