Freeport Official Paper FREE!>()RT, N. Y., FRIDAY, DEC. 6. 1910 FREEPORT NEWS Single copii's nf the Review for "file at Greenblatt'^. Kailroad Ave.; Kn-f- er's, Kevie-.v i 'l.te and Golrctz". South Main stref;, and DaSilvii'.-^, VVe'it .Mer¬ rick Road. tf. Mrs. Chaa. H. Kavn.ir started for Los Angele.s, Calif<irMia, 'Ihursday, 'o upend the winter with her daughter, Mrs. Irving Smith. Piatt Conklin, who has heen in the Long Island Hospital for several weeks, is up and around and is ex¬ pected to be able to come home the lant of ne.xt week. The Onslow-Moore Company had their Street Cleaning Dept, out in full force removing the snow from all thc walks in the Hayvicw section, Wed¬ nesday, very much to the satisfiictioii and comfort of the residents. Mrs. Frank H. Stevens was thr<iwn out by her sleigh upsetting in front of the Keview ollice Wednesday after¬ noon, but was uninjured. The sleigh righted itself and the hor.so ran a block when he waa stopped and returned to Mrs. Stevens. About half pa^t ten Tuesday morn¬ ing the dreaded 31 call sounded for the fire department. The alarm was sent from Gobetz's store on Main street, where a small heap of paper had c lUght lire, but the blaze was (]ueiiclied by a little water and the re¬ call sounded in about two minutes. F. G. & G. T. Van {iiper have com¬ menced a 3-stoiy brick building at cor¬ ner of Dean and .Main Streets for Mil¬ ler the baker. They also have a con¬ tract for a building, ^dHx70, cement blocks, a stnries, f>r J. M. Hewlett, corner Church St., and New Houlevard, on which they were to have started Tuesday but were prevented by the snow storm. The lire department answered a call for district 37 Monday afternoon, when some clothing ignited from being put too near a stove pipe at the residence of 11. W. Hanscom, Raynor Street, near Chiirrh Street. Tie smoke was so thick the trouble was quickly noticed and the tire easily put <iiit with one clienncal extinguisher when tho Truck Cumpany No. 1 ar¬ rived ; no damage. The village ollicers have been given instructions to enforce the ordinance relative to leaving horses atanding un¬ tied on the streets. It is customary for the butchers and grocers in particu¬ lar to leave their horses standing with¬ out taking the time to tie them and the village authorities take this action to prevent possible damages and dam¬ age suits.

Won! has been received of the death of Prof. A. Palamountain, a former resident of this village and Homr'.'-rai!, in Australia. Prof. Palamountain, with his wife anrl two little children, went from here to London, rind later to Melbourne Australia, where he ojiened a musical studio. He became despond¬ ent because of ill health and ended his life with a revolver. i When James Jenkins opened his store on West Merrick Road Thursday morn¬ ing he found that the rear window of the store had been "jimmied" and an entrance efTected. He at once began an investigation out could not lind that anything had been stolen. His cash register had not been tampered with nor had any of his stock been dis¬ turbed. In glancing at his counter he found a note which shed some light on the mat¬ ter. The note read, "Archie and El¬ mer have been here in search of burg¬ lars." During thc night the girls in the telephone exchange which is on the floor above the store, heard queer noises below and sent in a police alarm. OHicers Wallace and Kaynor evidently answered the alarm and Iinding no easy access to the building had forced the rear window. It was claimed evidences of someone having entered the cellar and made an attempt to carry ofT some of the sup¬ plies of the New York Telephone Com¬ pany were found but the marauders had apparently been frightened away.

I ' Villajce Trustees All of thc merniers of the Villare Board of 'Iru te. -i uere prfsert at ihe regular nieetir-.g Friday evening. (Jout'.-.t'Inr F'shel. to whom had been referred the question of returning the bond of the f. A. Gillespie Co., con¬ structing thp lirof'' ly;i conduit line, re- portpo that he thought the company had treated the village fairly and given more than their contract called for, aciurdiiig to agreements with the pre¬ ceding IJnaid of Trustees, and that the village could well afTord to relieve the Gillespie (,'ompany of the obliga¬ tions ill Iiuestion, removing fiart of the French building west of Long Beach Ave., and tilling in a hole adjoining Ja¬ cob Post's property east of .Main St., and stand the incident expense, which Could be done for considerably less than the Village could do the work which the Gillespie Company has done as ex¬ tra. No action was taken. Frank W. Conn, an oflicial of the New York Telephone Company, ap¬ peared liefore the Board at their re¬ ijuest to explain regarding the propo.«ed change of telephone lines on Leng Heach Avenue. He said the company liail been served with an injunction from interested property owners, which they did not feel like'going to the ex pense of vacating under existing cir¬ cumstances; that the company would get along with their line as it was, (altho it was not quite so satisfactory from an engineering standpoint) ; rath¬ er than to fight the injunction. The matter was talked over Init no further action was taken and the [loles will re¬ main where they are. , ' Cantain of Police John J. Dunbar stated that there had been several small robberies in the village recently, and that his men were working on the cases, with a good prospect of catching the offenders. President Gunning said he had ap¬ pointed Francis C. Morse to make uji a liat of property in arrears for taxes. Mr. Morse submitted a letter to the Board which in substance advised that instead of selling the property for taxes as the law allows but does not require, a apecial tax collector be ap¬ pointed to secure the money. It was stated that there was about $7000 un¬ paid and i\!r. .Morse ihought it would be better business for the village to ap¬ point a collector. This matter was also di.scussed thor¬ oughly, and upon motion of Truatee Sigmond Francis C. Morse was ap¬ pointed apecial collector for the unpaid taxes for the yeara 1891 to 1909 inclu¬ sive, he to receive 10 per cent, on the net amounts collected, and report at each meeting of the Board. An invitation was received from Ex¬ celsior Hook and Ladder Company, No. 1, to attend the oyster supper on Dec. 7; accepted. The following applications were granted. Sidewalka, Pettit & Lamb, Roae St. ; electric light, E. L. Gilder¬ sleeve, Atlantic Ave. ; P. J. Kernan, 54 North Ocean Avenue; water, W. D. Sutherland, Cedar St Dr. Myrick was appointed a member of all standing committees. Stephen P. Pettit appeared before the Board and made a statement in which ha asked that in preparing the budget for the coming year the trustees consider the matter of fixing for water and electricity for the several sections >if the village which are having a rapid growth. In that aection of Freeport north of the railroad tracks and east of Main street, he stated, that there were at present erected or in course of con¬ struction thirty-two houses. They have neither water nor light and he stated that it would require the laying of 3,400 feet of pipe to supply them. He also called the attention of the Hoard to certain part.s of the E?ay View section which, likewise, need a water supply. There nine houses have been begun in which there are heing placed plumbing, necessitating water supply. Part of this section is without thp vil¬ lage limits and the water pipes are now laid within 400 feet of the line. Mr. Pettit said that if the village would lay pipe for 300 feet in this direction the people who are improving the prop- ¦ erty would carry it the rest of the way, ; so that the houses without the village limits could be supplied. , Taken altogether, the suggestions made by Mr. Pettit would require the \ laying of nearly 5,000 feet of new pipe during the early part of next year to enable the village water plant to keep pace with the rapid growth of the vil- ; iage. Mr. Pettit said that he would ' submilf a detailed report on all the [ properties in which he ia interested and which are in need of village im¬ provements. He was assured by >^re8i- dent Gunning thst tbe report when re¬ ceived would be given carefnl atten¬ tion. { Local Topics ' It you happen to see one of CaSil- \a's Economy Hulletins for December just look at the work on it. It is a (iroduct of the Review printery, and while it is not quite as cheap as some you nAy have seen from out of town, I challenge you to show me a neater, more attractive one-color circular than this. In digging your sidewalks clear from snow do not fail to see that the lire hydrant nearest you is also cleared around. You may need it in a hurry some day when the firemen wnuld have to hunt for it while your house or tl.e one next to you was afire. The recent lires illustrate the neces¬ sity of having jciur valuables and im¬ iiortant papers stored where the fires will not dainatie or destroy theni. The Freeport Hank recently increased the nuniber of safety deposit boxes in its vault and can take a few more cus¬ tomers. It is pleasant if your house catches fire to realize that you need not worry about things burning up which it Would be impossible to re¬ place. The police having I cen iislnicted to rigidly enforce the law about tally¬ ing lights at night and no arrests hav¬ ing been reported yet. 1 presume ail vehicles now out after sunset are e(|uipped with lighted lamps. The village boani has not yet lixt a [lermanent price for electric light for (lower. Private plants give a consid¬ erably lower rate for day current and our plant will undoubtedly do the aame. Twelve cents a thousand for [lower would be a prohibitive price for plants now equipped with other power. In Hempstead and Lynbrook, with private plants, the ratea at 8.7 and 6c per thousand, according to the amount of power consumed. ^ Rockville Centre and Hempstead have been having a lively argument as to the ownership of the library given by a New York newspaper in a voting contest in which they induced local dealers to pay the expenses several times over and give them the advertis¬ ing. The whole thing left a bad taste in the mouth . and we are glad that Freepopt didn't win the library in the way it was won. It was an ojicii sec¬ ret that people in one of our neighbor¬ ing villages were 'landed out ballots and allowed to write in any number of votes they wisht. The village is not to have any sale of land for unpaid taxes yet. At the meeting Friday evening it waa decided to employ a special tax collector to' collect the taxes overdue, at ten per cent, the amount being about $7000, with possibly $2,000 interest. This' will eliminate tne possibility of having a tax sale this year. The scheme of employing a special ¦ collector has not such a tendency toward friction, but is more expensive to the village, which must stand the expense, which $7000 being collected would amount to $700 where in an advertised sale as allowed by law this would probably cover all the expenses, and the burden for collecting would be, as it should be, upon the delinquent tax ' payer. The special collector plan is worth giving a trial, but its success is doubt¬ ful, with very little prospect of the in¬ terested people being compelled to pay for some time. In the meantime the interest is growing at the rate of 10 per cent. The Board is to be commended for its prompt action toward collecting the tax arrears but we venture to assert taht there will still be a considerable amount unpaid, as the former Board last year appointed D. Frank Seaman for the same work, and he undoubtedly secured all that was collectible at that time. Speaking about fire department some more: I once heard ^ member of a former Village Board objecting be¬ cause one of the companies waited what seemed to him a long time for horses, instead of pulling the truck to a fire as he used to do. In the first five years Freeport Fire Department was organized there was one £re alarm: piobably an average of one a year for the next ten vears. In look¬ ing over the detailed reports of Chief - VanRiper I find there were 21 alarms of fire in the past six months, net in-, eluding three still alarms. Of this number the recall was sounaed on 6 in | less than 5 minutes, 12 in less than 15 minutes and only three uver 16 min-j utes, which shows efficient work, iti seems to me. Four of tbese fires, 20 per cent, were extinguished by the chemical extinguishers on tbe book and | ladder truck. Anothea^ remarkable fact is tbat in the six months only 100 ft of hose was bursted. ' ' Help The Library The committee in charge, H. P. Lib¬ by, Albin N. Johnson and Samuel R. Smith, are soMciting suliscriptioi>«' so that the puldlc litirary can be installed in a proper place, for which a stor«.> on Grove Street can be secured, and which will reijuire an equipment of chairs, taldes, racks, etc. The present library contains about 'dhOO volumes; is housed in a srniill room 14x19 in an obscure jilace in the rear of the Gro\ e Street School build¬ ing. No doubt many jieople in Free- port, who would be glad to make use of a library, do not know of its existence, thou.trh the rimiber of books drawn liuring September, for instance, in three successive years has been as fidiows: 1908,3.^7:1909,787; 191n, S42. It is thought there is enough civic (iride in our village to easily produce this thousand dollars to bring out this public library with suitable e(|Uipment in a central location until some public spirited citizen, or Mr. Carnegie, pro¬ vides .-oinelhiiig better. Those who have already been ap¬ proached are heartily in favor of the movement and are subscribing liberal¬ ly ; llllt the committee would prefer to gpt tive dollars each from two hundred resKleiits of the village than lifty dol¬ lars each from twenty. Sul)scri|itioiis may be sent to any member of tbe c<im- niittee and will be gratefully acknow¬ ledged. People who were in the vicinity of tho corner of Churcii street and Mer¬ rick Road about four o'clock Sunday afternoon saw an automobile accident in which two machines collided at full pseed without apjiarent injury to eith¬ er. One was going aouth on Church street and the other was traveling west along Merrick road. The one on Church street was a large touring car, while the machine it col¬ lided with was a runabout. The dri¬ vers got out of their respective cars, disentangled the machines and after working on their engines for a few minutes, both went on their way. Hoth had badly damagt'd hoods and for¬ ward mud guards. Christmas Cheer Do Vour Share. Those fortunate enough to be able to have all their desires satistied around the glad Christmas time aro usually willing to render aid to those less for¬ tunate tban themselves, but many hes¬ itate to do this fearing that their ben¬ evolences may fall into unworthy handa. To remler genuine relief in families and other placea whore it is most needed, ('harles A. Sigmond again comes to the iront in a rejietition of hia successful role of Santa Claus, which was so beneficial to scores of persons last year. Mr. Sigmond through his agents, and advertising his plan to help the needy, has succeeded in finding out who the worthy ones are and during Christmas afternoon at his Main St. thestre, he will distribute, food, clothing, candies, toys, and ar¬ ticles of value to those whose circum¬ stances will not permit them to buy what they need. The demand promises to be heavier than usual this year and you are re¬ spectfully solicited for a donation of some kind towards this worthy cause. The consciousness of a good act now will bring its reward all through next year in the knowledge that you have helped one less fortunate than your¬ self. Have you any clothing for men, women and children, can you spare food, or an order on your grocer, butcher or druggist, can you donate candy, toys rir fruits'.' Remember any donation of this kinri or money if sent to Mr. Sigmond, will be properly ack- nowlerjged in the local newapapers, or the donation may be left at their offices. The cause is a worthy one. Send your mite no matter how small and see how much better you will feel for it Christmas Day and for many days thereafter. All are invited to attend, without charge and witness the distribution of gifts Christmas afternoon at 4 p. m. Come and see the big tree, hear the music and above all enjoy the happy expressions on the faces of the child¬ ren and their eiders at the cheer that ia thus brought to them. Vol. XVI, No. 9 Samuel W. Helland, brother' of Charles E. Helland, who has been out west for the past tive years, has return¬ ed to Freeport, renew ing old acquain¬ tances. He returneil heme just in time for the annual reunion of E.\celaior Hook and Ladder Cunpany, of which he was fcinieily a meniber.

Admission and Application Information
Admissions and Application Information
A high school diploma or GED is all that is necessary for Ohio students to register for most classes in viticulture at Kent State University Ashtabula.
Age restrictions:
Many of our practical enology (winemaking) courses also require students to be 21 years of age (or older), before the first day of class, in order to comply with state and federal alcohol consumption laws.
Application Form:
Kent State University Ashtabula has prepared a special joint KSU-VESTA program application for students wishing to register and take classes in the enology and viticulture program at Kent State University.

Comments about Floyd Rose Original Series Tremolo Bridge with R3 Nut:
This tremolo system is awesome. My old tremolo couldn't keep my guitar in tune for even an hour, but this one is the exact opposite. My guitar stays in tune for weeks even after heavy usage. I can do all the dive bombs and squeals I want now!
The only minor problem is that the nut isn't a perfect fit with my guitar. Its not that noticeable, though.

Comments about Floyd Rose Original Series Tremolo Bridge with R3 Nut:
Very awesome Floyd.. Stays in tune even after crazy dive bombs. Easy to intonate but it does take a while to set up. After proper setup the rest is a breeze. This will beat any licensed Floyd on EVERYTHING. Buy one!
Comments about Floyd Rose Original Series Tremolo Bridge with R3 Nut:
I purchased one of these temolos just after Christmas and it came with the wrong arm (right handed temolo; left handed arm). I verified it against the diagrams on the floyed rose website. MF offered to let me return it in exchange for another. Great customer service, but the second one came to me the same way. I tried contacting Floyd Rose but they did not answer my emails. I contacted Schaller directly and they are going to send me the new tremolo arm. It is a nice finish on the unit but it does cost a bit more for that finish. If I had it to do over again, I would not pay the extra cost for the hassel of having to contact Schaller for the arm.

NASA continues to peer into the future, claiming that the world did not end on 12.21.12. We'll address that on 12.22.12. If we're here. Meanwhile, I got email from JP Sottile at newsvandal with whom I have an ongoing tinfoil millinery competition:
the real question is whether or not A.I. was a secret endorsement of the mayan apocalypse and if nasa is getting back at kubrick ex post facto? joel haley osment is the catalyst for a mayan ragnarok
Why would NASA want to get back at Kubrick? Well, pull out your tinsel top hat and settle in for what I put JP through the other night, bwhahhaha! Seems that, according to conspiracy theorist film geeks, while Kubrick was making 2001: A Space Odyssey, he was also faking the moon landing, and he felt so guilty about it that he later tipped everyone off in The Shining, if you can just find at the clues. And to make it easy for you, there's a video that lays it all out. (It's an hour long, so here's the short TL/DW version):
A.I. was originally developed by Kubrick beginning in the mid-1970s. Despite the growth in technology over the decades, Kubrick felt that neither computer generated effects nor child actors were good enough to portray the character of David, so he handed it over to Steven Spielberg in 1995, and it was only after Kubrick's death in 1999 that the project gained momentum and was finally made. A.I. was released in 2001 with Haley Joel Osment as David.
Meanwhile, Martin Scorsese will be directing a documentary about Bill Clinton for HBO. Suggested titles:

These behaviors may be performed when the individual is stressed or excited, or bored or inactive. Hours may be spent in these activities, taking individuals away from family or work activities. Depression, shame, and isolation can also result. BFRBs most often begin in late childhood or in the early teens, and may affect at least 1 out of 20 people. While once thought to be rare and impossible to treat, we now know that neither of these ideas is true. While it is not always easy to find practitioners who can treat these disorders, there are a growing number of resources, and the picture is gradually improving.

FORT WALTON BEACH — In the year following the reopening of the Ronda Coon Women's Home, about 35 women have stayed there as they picked up pieces of their lives.
"One woman said, 'This isn't a transitional home, it's a transformational home,' " case worker Jennifer Geno said.
The shelter first opened in 1986 as a home for pregnant women in need, but closed in 2009 amid the financial crisis. However, its overseeing agency, Family Life Ministries, continued to provide services such as parenting classes to the community.
Family Life Ministries' leaders realized there was still a great need not only for a maternity home, but for a shelter for homeless women of all ages.
The building on Gospel Road in Wright was renovated and welcomed its first resident in April 2012.
"This year has been such a growing experience for all of us," Geno said.
The home shelters eight women at a time along with a live-in resident manager.
The women must pass a drug test and have no violent felonies or serious mental health issues. An Individual Success Plan is drawn up for each resident to outline her needs as well as a good mentor, or "big sis."
Women of any religious denomination can live there, but they must attend Bible study and a weekly religious service of their choice.
"The only way they're going to be able to change is with Jesus," Geno said. "I've seen it firsthand."
Residents can stay for up to nine months while they look for a job and permanent housing. They attend classes in life skills, budget management and, if applicable, parenting.
The biggest thing the women need is confidence, said Amy Daopoulos, the program's executive director.
"We empower them to be strong women," Daopoulos said.
About 15 women are on the home's waiting list.
Family Life Ministries hopes to expand services in the future with a one-story home for pregnant or elderly women, a transitional home to allow women to get an education and work part time, and homes in the north end of Okaloosa County.

I live in Canada. It's not a holiday here
every year i have friends who are new to coachella asking me, "hey when does the lineup come out?!?" I always tell them, "usually around MLK holiday." this year is no different. I think late monday night leak on the boards, tuesday morning announcement. IIRC they have done it exactly that way a couple times. Last year was the earliest we will ever see a lineup.
I'm in San Diego and it's 60 degrees. Feelsbadman.
Fri: AC/DC, Tame Impala, Steely Dan, Alabama Shakes, Cloud Nothings, Eagulls, Allah-Las, Brant Bjork & the LDPB

On the face of it, white walls are as simple and safe as it gets, the last refuge of the color-phobic. Maybe that's because white carries such reassuring associations: freshness, purity, even holiness. White promises a dirt-free, germ-resistant, till-death-do-us-part world (although white weddings are not traditional in Asia, where the color connotes death and mourning). But despite the color's profound symbolism in Western culture, it's the singular visual impact of white that may make it the strongest design statement of all.
"Think of a yellow school bus, then imagine it white," says Andrew Oyen, an associate at the New York City architecture and design firm Ferguson & Shamamian. "Or take a hearse and make it white. By reducing one factor – color – you suddenly draw attention to its other elements."
White's ability to heighten awareness of space, shape and light has made it a perennial favorite of celebrated architects and designers as diverse as Mario Botta, Gwathmey-Siegel, Rose Tarlow and Richard Meier, who has praised the hue's unique ability to intensify our "perception of all of the shades of the rainbow" while still retaining "its absoluteness."
White's self-possession, its almost aristocratic indifference to the threat of common dirt, endows it with effortless glamour. Manhattan's trendsetting design store, Troy, recently reissued a line of classic black-and-silver Danish modernist furniture – this time in white leather. The color keeps reinventing itself as a way to simplify and savor simultaneously, an appealing combination for those seeking respite from a hectic world without sacrificing a sense of luxury.
Palette Refresher
Andrew Flesher, named one of House Beautiful magazine's "Next Wave of Designers," recently chose a serene, white-on-white palette for his own Minneapolis loft. After assembling colors for clients all day, he says, his gallery-like space offers soothing visual relief: a "blank canvas" that clears his mind.
The usual complaints about white – that it's sterile, boring, too hard to maintain – may have more to do with limited imaginations than the possibilities of the color itself.
"The sky's the limit with whites," enthuses Flesher, principal with Gunkelman Flesher Interior Design. "There are an infinite number of whites, and which one you choose can make all the difference in the world."
Zeroing in on the perfect white means following the same rules you'd apply to any color match. If you're dealing with existing features or furnishings, stay within color families. "Make sure the base of your white is congruent with the other things in the room," Flesher says. Even if you're just painting a ceiling white in a room with color on the walls, consider cutting that white with one-fourth of the wall color. "Don't just use 'ceiling white,'" he cautions.
Sherwin-Williams offers a wide range of whites with different bases. Dover White (SW 6385) achieves its creamy warmth with a touch of yellow, while Navajo White's
(SW 6126) brown tones give it an earthy but clean feeling. Becky Ralich Spak, senior designer with Sherwin-Williams' Color Marketing and Design Group, loves Alabaster White (SW 7008). "It's a beautiful white, so fresh but with a little softness. It works wonderfully with neutrals, especially khaki and tan." Antique White (SW 6119) pairs well with stained or weathered wood trims, she adds.
Light Makes White
What really makes a great white soar or sink is its interaction with both natural and artificial light sources. Daylight conditions vary locally (from wall to wall in a single room) and geographically (compare the intense sunlight of Los Angeles with the softer light of the Northeast), so "it's critical to look at the white you're considering under the actual lighting," Flesher says. Even a color expert like Ralich Spak sometimes has to learn the hard way.
"When I was looking at different whites for my bedroom, I wanted something serene but not clinical," she recalls. "I selected a crisp, blue white. When I tried it out, the bedroom looked like the inside of a refrigerator!"
Keep in mind that "the brighter the light, the more the pigment used in the white will show," Oyen says. "In Greece, those chalk-white walls become glaring under intense sunlight. In a brightly lit room, warm rosy white can turn into strawberry ice cream very quickly. But that same rosy white in a darker space might look cozy."
Finishing Touches
Adding a subtle sheen to a flat white is another way to achieve an intimate glow. "You can do a lot of things with white just by changing the finish," says Sheri Thompson, director of the Color Marketing and Design Group. For example, Sherwin-Williams offers a pearlized finish that can be used as a final coat or as highlights or striping (applied with a dry roller). She especially likes the effect when used in a powder room or bedroom, but recommends experimenting. "It's a very versatile product."
And if you're having trouble finding the right white for the effect you're after, Sherwin-Williams' paint experts can custom-blend a color based on a sample (a piece of fabric, for example). Debbie Insana of the company's Color Marketing Lab notes that its updated spectrophotometry system, Sher-Color™, can create a "thumbprint" of a desired hue more accurately than ever before. The service is available in most Sherwin-Williams stores.
There are endless ways to incorporate white's unique qualities into any design configuration. Both Flesher and Oyen love the visual impact of white floors. The gleaming flooring in Flesher's loft was achieved with the help of an industrial epoxy used in airport hangars.
Another choice is to whitewash a wood floor – especially in an older building, such as a converted farmhouse – so that the roughness of the grain shows through the paint. "By covering a rustic surface with white, you're mixing two ideas," Oyen says. "You get a sense of texture and freshness simultaneously."
Don't these designers ever get sick of white? "I really don't!" Flesher laughs. Oyen agrees. "The qualities of freshness, cleanness and timelessness will always make white easy to rely on. All that, and it still has as much subtlety as any other color."
When To Go White
>To complement, rather than compete with, nature's palette. Make the most of a room with a striking outdoor view. "A white room picks up all of the color coming in from outside," Flesher notes.
To create a feeling of intimacy. While wood paneling can generate artificial warmth, it absorbs natural light. White walls reflect daylight directly, imbuing an interior with a cozy glow.
To reclaim the visual possibilities of a period space. Oyen remembers clients who were moving into an old apartment painted in lavish, almost overwhelming colors. "They whitewashed the whole apartment, which created a sense of neutrality. Then they gradually brought back color over time. Going white first enabled them to see the space in a new way."
To show off beautiful moldings. White showcases the details. "It becomes about the play of shadows," Flesher says.

MILTON — It could take a week or longer for the remaining cats seized from the Kirkham Kattery Rescue on Monday to be medically evaluated, according to Santa Rosa County officials.
About half of the 225 cats had been euthanized as of Wednesday morning due to serious medical issues, including feline leukemia.
The county still needs to learn the overall health status of the remaining cats, explore the legal issues, and consider community health impacts before a plan of action is formed, said Joy Tsubooka, Santa Rosa County public information officer.
The cats are being housed in kennels with food, water and litter boxes, Tsubooka said. Many of them have skin disorders, tumors, ringworm, parasites, ulcers in their eyes, and herpes.
They have been separated from the public and other pets.
The prevalent reason for some of the animals being euthanized has been feline leukemia, a disease that lowers a cat's immune system.
The disease spreads through any kind of direct contact, a county news release reported. It can incubate for three months, and infected cats can show no signs of the disease.
Allan and Ella Kirkham, the owners of the rescue, were arrested Monday on animal cruelty charges and later released after each posted a $3,500 bond.
The first complaint directed to animal services came from a Pensacola veterinarian concerned about a possible feline leukemia infestation in November 2006, according to Allan Kirkham's arrest report.
Since then, at least 21 other complaints were filed with animal services, the arrest report stated. The complaints range from adopted cats with feline leukemia to dirty conditions at the rescue.
Animal services is not a law enforcement agency, Tsubooka said. They investigate complaints but do not have the authority to enter a building without the owner's permission.
Animal services officers responded to every complaint against the Kattery Rescue but were never permitted to enter the facility, Tsubooka said.
An animal services officer cannot seize an animal unless they see it's distressed, she said.
As a nonprofit organization, the Kattery Rescue is also exempt under state law from having to show proof of vaccinations to new pet owners, Tsubooka said.
The first animal cruelty complaint the Sheriff's Office received was in May from animal services, said deputy Rich Aloy, public information officer.
An animal services officer pushed for this investigation, Tsubooka said.
After an undercover deputy investigated and adopted two cats, both of whom were euthanized due to health reasons, the Sheriff's Office and animal control went into the rescue.
Any home with pets has a distinctive odor, Aloy said. The rescue's odor was multiplied by the number of cats, he said.
"It was exactly what you would expect," Aloy said.

Two 'super-Earths' targeted in hunt for alien life
A star system containing two potentially habitable Earth-like planets is being targeted by scientists searching for extra-terrestrial intelligence.

In the coming months, astronomers will turn an array of space telescope dishes towards Kepler-62, a star smaller and dimmer than the Sun about 1,000 light years away in the constellation Lyra.
A pair of so-called "super-Earths" have been detected within the "habitable zone" of the star, the orbital region where temperatures are just warm enough to allow bodies of surface water such as oceans and lakes.
Although no-one knows what the planets are made of, they are believed to be rocky. One, Kepler-62f, is thought to have a radius about 1.4 times greater than the Earth's. The other, Kepler-62e, is estimated to be 1.6 times larger.
The planets' parent star is around two billion years older than the Sun, raising the possibility of intelligent life more advanced than it is on Earth.
Both will be priority targets in a new Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (Seti) programme focusing on habitable zone worlds.

If Marcones ever wants to know why my company never orders anything thru our account, it is because they charged me $18.95 for a friggin' catalog when I first opened my account. Never in my 35 years in the repair business has any vendor ever charged for a book they expect me to buy and sell from! How absolutely ludicrous. Now they are calling me wondering what they did to piss me off...hah! Hope they think long and hard about it...

Eastern wrapped up its spring semester series of 125th Anniversary celebrations with Community Engagement Day on May 2. The day began with a luncheon and panel discussion featuring four alumni in the Paul E. Johnson Sr. Community Conference Room. Anabelitza Lozada '11, Levar Mitchell '12, Matt Blocker-Glynn '03 and Victoria Nimirowski '87 discussed how they turned their community engagement experiences at Eastern into successful careers. The event was sponsored by the Center for Community Engagement, the Center for Internships and Career Development, and the Office of Alumni Affairs.
Lozada graduated with a bachelor's degree in Social Work. The following year, she completed her master's degree at the University of Connecticut's School of Social Work. She currently is the social worker for the Support for Pregnant and Parenting Teens program at Windham High School. Mitchell earned his Bachelor of Science in Sport and Leisure Management with a minor in Sociology. He currently works as a sports, fitness and recreation director at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Hartford, and is the youngest sports director in Connecticut. Mitchell is pursuing his master's degree in Social Work at the University of Connecticut.
Blocker-Glynn graduated with a B.A. in History. He received his M.Ed. in Human Relations Counseling from Plymouth State University, and then came back to Connecticut to direct the University of Hartford's Center for Community Service six years ago. Nimirowski has been the executive director of the Windham Area Interfaith Ministry (WAIM) since 2005.
In the afternoon, the CCE sponsored the annual Service Expo, during which time student volunteers displayed posters and other visual manifestations of the various service projects that have taken place during the 2013-14 academic year. The annual Distinguished Service Awards ceremony took place in the Student Center Theatre following the Service Expo.
Kimberly DePaolis, a junior double-majoring in early childhood education and psychology, won the Student Community Engagement Award for her leadership, fundraising and volunteer work locally and abroad--in such countries as Jamaica and Ecuador--earned her this award.
Professor of Anthropology Ricardo Perez earned the Faculty Community Engagement Award for working with Eastern students in service projects with Willimantic schools in the Puentes al Futuro (Bridges to the Future) program. The Community Partner Engagement Award was given to '09 alumnus Christopher Brechlin, who worked as an AmeriCorps volunteer with ACCESS Agency and is now the CEO of Blueprint for a Dream, a "social enterprise" that focuses on northeast Connecticut. Professor of Sociology Cara Bergstrom-Lynch won the Service Learning Award for her fundraising efforts and community organizing. Since 2007, more than 550 students in her senior seminar have organized more than 120 community projects. The Community Event Award was given to Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA). From January to April of this year, the 10 students involved in the program put forth more than 456 hours of tax assistance, filing approximately 9,500 returns for low-to-moderate income individuals and families.
In the evening, "La Familia de Mucho Colores," a community cultural celebration in the Betty R. Tipton Room, concluded Community Engagement Day. Arnaldo Rivera and his band Vente-Tú played Latin Jazz and Salsa; children from the Puentes al Futuro ("Bridges to the Future") program danced to Mexican polkas, a Puerto Rican bomba and other Latin American music. Dancers fom the El Sagrado Corazón Catholic Church also joined in the festivities.

St. Edward's University Student Meets with White House Officials in Washington, D.C., to Discuss Fossil Fuel Alternatives
Jarymar Arana, a senior majoring in environmental science and policy, traveled to Washington, D.C., on Thursday to meet with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson and the White House Liaison to Young Americans Ronnie Cho. Arana joined 30 student leaders from across the country for an event called 100% Clean: 100 Actions for Clean Energy. The event concluded a month of action on campuses nationwide that seek to move away from fossil fuels and towards a clean energy economy.
Student leaders had the opportunity to brief both Administrator Jackson and White House Liaison to Young Americans Cho on student efforts to transition their campuses and communities off coal and dirty energy to clean energy solutions. In the meeting with Jackson, Arana thanked the administrator for her leadership on new rules to protect public health from coal pollution and for the EPA's concerned responses to the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, a 1,700-mile long, three-foot-wide crude oil pipeline that would run from tar sands in Alberta, Canada, through six states to refineries in Houston and Port Arthur, Texas.
"I asked the administrator if she would continue to stand up for the health and environment of communities that would be impacted by the proposed pipeline and she said 'yes,'" said Arana. "It was good to hear Lisa Jackson talk about her work to protect the health of communities affected by coal and oil pollution and know that she is on our side and a vocal champion on the hill."
Then, student leaders headed to the White House for a conversation with Ronnie Cho about urging the President to take bold action to transition the nation to cleaner energy sources that will create jobs and improve the health of communities like those along the Gulf Coast and East Texas, who are against the proposed crude oil pipeline.
Arana was the only St. Edward's University student invited by the Student Sierra Coalition to attend these meetings. Arana was selected because she is part of the Student Sierra Coalition's Beyond Oil campaign, which seeks to stop the Keystone XL pipeline from getting a permit from the State Department and President Obama. Arana feels strongly about the project because she grew up in Brownsville — the southernmost tip of Texas — an area that will be affected by the Pipeline project. She is working with students at the national, state and local levels to organize opposition to the project.
Locally, Arana is working with students at St. Edward's University, University of Texas–Austin and University of Texas–Pan-American, as well as Texas-based groups such as Texans Against Tar Sands. Students have helped boost turnout to the recent State Department hearings in Port Arthur and Austin, Texas, as well as to anti-Keystone XL rallies and bike rides. They have also brought the issue into their communities and classrooms.
"Right now I believe stopping this pipeline is one of the most urgent issues facing communities in Texas and along the route," Arana said. "The pollution from refining the toxic Canadian tar sands would harm communities in South Texas and along the Gulf Coast, where children currently living within a two-mile radius of oil refineries are 56 percent more likely to die from cancer. Obama must address energy and unemployment problems by rejecting the toxic Keystone XL and creating a clean and just energy economy. One based on solar and wind power that will create jobs and prevent pollution-related disease."
The project is gaining national attention. It has been featured on Politico and Bloomberg:

CHIPLEY — It was a marathon Board of County Commissioners meeting Thursday as the commissioners discussed a wide variety of topics for more than four hours.
The board seemed to agree on very little, but they did vote unanimously to increase acting county administrator David Corbin's pay by 15 percent, to be retroactive to his taking over as interim "point of contact" for the county commissioners.
"I was just thinking what a good job David has done, he has moved a lot of things forward in just a short time," said Chairman Alan Bush. "I would like to see us compensate him."
Corbin was chosen by the board last month to fill in as county administrator until a replacement for former administrator Steve Joyner is hired.
"This opens a can of worms," Commissioner Todd Abbott said. "We have a lot of other employees in the county who have done and are doing the same thing, stepping up and filling in."
Bush agreed, but pointed out that the county administrator answers to the board, and it is up to the board to take care of him. "Those other employees have supervisors, and I would hope their supervisors are doing them right," Bush said. "But this job reports directly to us. We're his supervisor and I think we should take care of him."
Bush made the motion they increase Corbin's pay by 15 percent and Commissioner Charles Brock seconded the motion for discussion.
"We're starting a precedent here," Commissioner Joel Pate warned.
"For the record, I have not asked for a pay increase," Corbin said. "I am just happy to be able to do what I can for the employees."
County Attorney Jeff Goodman advised the board that in Holmes County, the policy states that if an employee is working in a higher position than his own in a temporary capacity for more than 10 days, then the employee gets paid at that higher rate of pay.
"There's nothing in our policies about that," Commissioner Lynn Gothard said.
"That's something we really should fix," Bush added. The commissioners then voted unanimously to grant Corbin the temporary pay increase.
County Extension Director Julie Dillard presented Washington County's new agricultural extension agent Mark Maudlin to the commissioners on Thursday. The salaries of extension office personnel are split between the state and the county, so Dillard submitted Maudlin's employment to the board for approval.
"He's an excellent candidate, and he already lives in Chipley," Dillard said of Maudlin. "He used to be the Ag teacher at Graceville."
Maudlin has a wealth of knowledge in animal science, agronomy, food and resource economics and agricultural education.
"Mr. Maudlin will make a great addition to the Washington County Extension Office," Bush said.
The board members also voted to change the June meeting date to June 20 due to a conflict with The Florida Association of Counties' 2013 Annual Conference and Educational Exposition in Tampa.
The board's next workshop will be held on June 19.

TALLAHASSEE — Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council members vigorously defended their integrity Monday before the state's Joint Legislative Auditing Committee.
Current TDC members Warren Gourley and Bobby Nabors and former TDC members Kathy Houchins and Patricia Hardiman were among more than a dozen Okaloosa officials who attended the meeting, which covered little new ground in the fraud scandal.
The four appeared voluntarily and answered questions about former TDC director Mark Bellinger and his spending habits for much of the three-hour meeting.
View a slideshow from the hearing in Tallahassee.
VIDEO: Listen to how Mark Bellinger used $747,000 of BP funds to buy a Kelly Plantation house.

VIDEO: Zimmerman Agency answers questions about purchase of Porsche for TDC.
But Okaloosa County Commissioners Don Amunds and Wayne Harris, who were subpoenaed to testify at the meeting, were not questioned. After the meeting adjourned promptly at 1 p.m., as required by legislative rules, Auditing Committee chairman Sen. Joseph Abruzzo said the committee had simply run out of time.
He said it is "undecided" if any Okaloosa County officials will be asked to appear again but added that Senate President Don Gaetz has deemed the TDC scandal "the most important issue" currently facing the Auditing Committee.
Although he wasn't asked any questions, Harris did read a statement to the Auditing Committee and specifically asked the lawmakers to order a "complete and thorough operational audit of every entity of Okaloosa County, all constitutional offices."
The committee did not respond to his request.
During the questioning, TDC members stressed to the Auditing Committee that they were volunteers, serving strictly as an advisory council without final approval of any of Bellinger's expenditures. They added that the specific details of many of Bellinger's questionable purchases — including a four-bedroom house, a Porsche and a 40-foot yacht — never came before the TDC for vetting.
"He was somehow able to fool all of us ... all of the commissioners and the rest of the county," said Gourley, who was questioned for about 45 minutes.
Nabors told lawmakers that Bellinger "didn't answer to anyone" while he headed the TDC.
Houchins and Hardiman said they believed the projects Bellinger presented to the TDC automatically went before the Okaloosa County Commission for a final approval.
"We thought everything was going on to the board," Houchins said. "We did not get a request from Mark Bellinger to buy a house. We did not get a request from Mark Bellinger to buy a Porsche. ... Mark was a big-ticket, out-of-the-box picture guy. He came into town and took over."
Hardiman told lawmakers she regrets not examining that process more closely.
"I should have gone to (the county commission) meetings and followed through more," she said.
Hardiman said that while she didn't always feel the TDC was as useful as it could have been, the members did spend time reviewing and recommending important tourism promotions.
The TDC members, some of whom were asked to resign by county commissioners in February, also told lawmakers that Amunds had said their resignations might keep them from having to testify before the Auditing Committee in Tallahassee.
Gourley said some county officials see the Auditing Committee's scrutiny as a purely political move and an attempt to gain control of any RESTORE Act dollars headed to Okaloosa County.
"They think you want to give the county a bad name," he told the committee.
Sen. Alan Hays bristled at that suggestion.
"I'm not trying to make Okaloosa County look bad," he said. "I think they've done a good enough job of that all by themselves."
Hays, R-Umatilla, added that the Auditing Committee's scrutiny is about bad public policy, not politics.
Later in the meeting, Abruzzo, D-Wellington, echoed those comments.
"This is not a witch hunt," he said. "We are looking for facts. ... We are here for open transparency."
The committee also spent time questioning representatives of The Zimmerman Agency of Tallahasee and the Mobile, Ala.-based Lewis Communications, advertising firms that held lucrative contracts with the TDC. Zimmerman held its contract for about 20 years while Lewis Communications was brought on board in the spring of 2011 by Bellinger.
Lewis Vice President Ellen Wingard explained to lawmakers how her company's wire transfer of $747,000 in the summer of 2011 ultimately resulted in the purchase of Bellinger's home in Destin. She said Bellinger had requested that the company create a promotional campaign that would blanket several states in the Southeast. He sent Lewis Communications $747,000 to get the process started and later told Wingard the firm hadn't won the contract and should send the money back.
"He asked us to wire it back to a Regions Bank account," Wingard said.
When pressed by lawmakers, she said she and company president Larry Norris had approved the wire transfer but that no one in the firm had verified where the money was going or what it would be used for.
"He sent us $747,000 and we sent the $747,000 back in its entirety. ... He was our client and it was his money, excuse me, the county's money," Wingard said.
Lawmakers also questioned Curtis Zimmerman, president of the Zimmerman Agency, about his knowledge of Bellinger's purchase of a $48,000 2008 Porsche Cayman. Bellinger told Zimmerman he'd negotiated a deal for a Porsche at a Wilmington, Mass., dealership and wanted to create a give-away promotion around it.
Zimmerman said he advised Bellinger against the Porsche because it wouldn't play well to Okaloosa's target audience. He said he suggested an SUV instead.
But Zimmerman eventually purchased the Porsche for Bellinger and then invoiced the county for the $48,000. Bellinger had instructed Zimmerman how to describe the purchase on the invoice, and there was no mention of the luxury sports car.
Rep. Matt Gaetz, who is not a member of the Auditing Committee, attended the meeting and participated in the questioning. He asked Zimmerman if it is customary for their clients "to dictate the description of the invoices."
Zimmerman answered that while it wasn't ideal it was how Bellinger preferred to do business.
Matt Gaetz, a vocal critic of the county's handling of the TDC scandal, accused Zimmerman and his agency of being willing to do anything Bellinger wanted "regardless of how improper."
Zimmerman disagreed, adding that Bellinger kept many details to himself.
"If it was not in the best interest of the county, we wouldn't have done it," he said.
After the meeting, Gaetz, R-Fort Walton Beach, called the questioning of Lewis Communications and The Zimmerman Agency "enlightening."
"I think we learned that Lewis and Zimmerman were willing to characterize any spending any way Mr. Bellinger wanted them to," he said. "They did so to preserve their revenue stream."
Matt Gaetz also said that despite the three-hour meeting he is still frustrated by what he called Okaloosa County officials' "obstinance."
He said they have virtually ignored the Northwest Florida legislative delegation's call for "substantive changes" — including the suspension or firing of county employees — in the wake of the Bellinger scandal.
"I have no confidence that (anything will change)," Gaetz said. "We still have the same county administrator. We still have the same county attorney."

CAMP SHELBY - As I mentioned yesterday, we're staying at a different part of Camp Shelby right now. About one hundred soldiers are stationed out here with us. Instead of cinderblock buildings, soldiers sleep in tents. But, they're not your traditional tent.
These tents have fluorescent lights inside, air conditioning and a cement floor. From the outside, you'd have no idea the tents are this high-tech. There are bunk beds inside and even large lockers for troops to store their gear.
This morning, soldier's alarms started going off at 4:30 a.m. One guy's alarm was the song, "Summer of '69." After that music came on, all the lights came on, too. We went to sleep last night around 1:00 a.m., so we didn't get up right away. Around 5:15 a.m., we were awake and getting ready for the day. The moon was still shining.
The latrine is about a block and a half away from our tent. Water pressure out here seems to be unreliable. When you're brushing your teeth or taking a shower, the water pressure can suddenly drop down to a trickle. But, then it gets back to normal fairly quickly.
Breakfast included eggs, sausage, bacon, grits, fruit, coffee and juice. We all needed that coffee.
We spent the morning putting more of our stories together for KCRG, The Gazette and the internet. We were able to pay a small fee to access WIFI which allowed us to send back video and text much faster. Before we found the WIFI, we were using a cell phone card which didn't always work well.
Many of the soldiers who are out here with us right now are from the Iowa City area. We've come across quite a few Hawkeye fans (and a few Iowa State fans, too). A lot of the soldiers say they enjoy talking about sports to pass the time when they're not training.
We spent some time today at a place called the Camp Shelby Post Exchange. People often refer to it as the "PX." When you walk inside, it looks like a typical convenience store. However, all of the customers carry rifles and wear uniforms. It's an interesting sight. The PX has just about anything a soldier could ever want. The store stocks bottled water, chips, candy, magazines, dvds, clothing, pillows, towels, cookies, crackers and even flat screen TVs! In case you're wondering, we actually did come across a group of soldiers who bought one of those TVs.
Next, we met up with SSgt. Mark Lansing and his wife, Sgt. First Class Heidi Lansing. They're married and deploying together to Afghanistan. They're from Ely. Both are "supply sergeants" for different companies. A supply sergeant essentially ensures soldiers have everything they need. The Lansings make sure troops have ice, weapons and even office supplies. Their jobs are stressful, time consuming and critically important. We spent a lot of time with the Lansings as they ran a few errands at Camp Shelby. Even though they're deploying together, they don't see each other as often as you might expect. They aren't even supposed to eat in the same chow hall because they are members of separate companies. That's the military's rule. They both truly understand each other and rely on each other for support and strength. Watch for their story on KCRG-TV9 this week.
At dinner, we had the choice of breaded chicken or pasta. I chose the chicken and it wasn't that bad. Candied yams, mashed potatoes, rice and rolls were also on the menu. Camp Shelby has a drink machine which dispenses Coca-Cola products, fruit punch, water, etc. Those machines also include something that's simply labeled "purple drink." Many soldiers have found that humorous. The purple drink is a grape flavored beverage.
Finally, we headed back to our living area out on the Forward Operating Base. Soldiers here were having a much different meal than we had just eaten. As part of the training at Camp Shelby, the Iowa National Guard wants soldiers to learn and understand Afghan culture. In order to do that, they want these men and women to be familiar with Afghanistan's food. Beef kabobs, yellow rice with carrots and raisins, a mixed salad and flatbread are just a few of the items on the menu. Soldiers we spoke to said they were willing to try the food, but would rather have had a more traditional American meal.
We spent the rest of the evening writing and editing all of the stories we collected today. Tomorrow is our last day here at Camp Shelby. It's been a lot of work, but we had a great time here. Can't believe it's almost over.

'She was a genuine selfless soul'By Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | November 29,2012
Donna Arnado didn't take her relationships with people for granted.
Days after the 43-year-old Rutland woman died in a crash on an ice-coated bridge on Route 7 in Rutland Town, friends, family and co-workers preparing for her funeral service on Wednesday all recalled a woman devoted to the people in her life.
"She had love for anyone who needed it," her husband, Paul Arnado said while sitting with family members at his Hopkins Street home.
On Monday morning, Donna Arnado was on her way to Middlebury where she worked with developmentally and physically disabled individuals when her 2002 Chevrolet Tracker struck a patch of ice on a bridge just south of Williams Farm. Arnado's car spun into the southbound lane and was struck broadside by an oncoming pickup. Rescue workers pronounced Arnado dead at the scene.
Vermont State Police say they ruled out drugs, alcohol and excessive speed as factors in the crash.
Her death sent a shock wave through her family, whose members say Arnado had been an extremely cautious driver since her mother was killed in a Rutland car crash in 1992.
"She didn't go three miles over the speed limit," her 23-year-old daughter Heather Arnado said. "She was scared after what happened to her mother."
Arnado was also wearing her seat belt at the time of the crash police said.
"I'm still in disbelief," Paul Arnado said. "She was always so cautious."
The 43-year-old was also careful when it came to protecting her family, which included three children, two grandchildren and her three siblings.
"She was an amazing mom," 27-year-old Ashley Arnado said.
Family members described Arnado as the glue that held the family together through domestic squabbles.
But she was also described as a person ready to defend her family against anyone she perceived as a threat.
"Her son-in-law called her 'Ma Dukes' for a reason," Paul Arnado said.
"She was fierce when it came to her family," her brother Louis "Tom" Austin added.
Arnado also devoted herself to others — particularly people in need of assistance.
During her career she worked with disabled individuals at the Community Access Program in Rutland and at Specialized Community Care in Middlebury. On her days off, she volunteered at Rutland's homeless shelter, the Open Door Mission.
"She was a lady of the first class," said Sharon Russell, executive director at the homeless shelter. "She said 'I love doing this. I love helping you guys.' She was just a nice person."
Her supervisor at SCC, Trudy Booska, said Arnado did an outstanding job helping her clients overcome physical and mental obstacles to obtain jobs and have access to the community.
"She was absolutely one in a million," Booska said. "It takes a special person to do this work. She was a genuine selfless soul."
Sherry Arnold, a friend who worked with Arnold in Rutland and Middlebury, said she was struggling with the loss of a person who meant so much to so many.
"To know that woman was to love her," she said. "I'm going to miss her with all my heart and I know I'm not alone."
