Mason Jar Soap Dispenser
Our Target soap finally ran out and I had Honey construct my new dispenser using the pump from the bottle we were about to throw away. He simply drilled a hole in the top of the mason jar lid and used super glue to attach the pump.
It took nearly three bottles of my favorite Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Basil hand soap to fill her up but I must admit, she's a beaut!
Flattered for the features at Liz Marie, The Space Between, Happy Go Lucky and It's Overflowing!

When used with the GAMO PR-776 .177 Pistol, we are getting 70 or more shots from a CO2 Cartridge, with obvious power drop at that point --but still enough energy for short range target plunking (We actually can get 80 shots from one CO2 Cartridge when shooting with 5 sec or so between shots).

XCOM: Enemy Unknown's first DLC addition will be available on Dec. 4. The Slingshot pack adds three new missions to the sci-fi/strategy genre bender.
Players who purchase Slingshot will gain access to the 'Friends in Low Places', 'Confounding Light', and 'Gangplank' missions.
The first two will send you and your troops to Asia. The new environments are detail-oriented to capture the look and feel of an alien-infested China.
Gangplank takes your crew off the ground and into the sky; players will have the chance to battle on the massive alien ship hovering over Asia.
All three new missions can be played whether you've finished the campaign or not.
The DLC also unlocks a powerful new squad member. Shaojie Zhang joins the team as a heavy class lieutenant. Zhang will feature his own distinct voice and personality.
New customization options will allow players to equip the troops with new helmets and hair styles.
Slingshot will cost you $6.99. It will be available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on Dec. 4.
XCOM lead designer Jake Solomon visited the Side Mission Briefing co-host chair a few weeks back. Naturally, there was plenty of talk about the game.

Australian woman defrauds Nigerian scammers
aN Australian woman has been convicted for defrauding Nigerian fraudsters of $30,000, reports The Sideshow.
The Courier-Mail reports that Sarah Jane Cochrane-Ramsey (23) was employed as an "agent" in March 2010 by the Nigerians, but did not know they were scam artists.
Her job was to provide access to an Australian bank account opened in her name, where the Nigerians could transfer money they received from a phony car sales website.
Cochrane-Ramsey was told she could keep eight per cent of the transfers.
But, then, she decided to steal from the "thieves".
According to the Courier-Mail, she received two payments, totalling $33,350, but spent most of it on herself.
The real victims, who thought they were buying cars online, reported the scam to the police, who traced the account back to Cochrane-Ramsey.
She appeared before the Brisbane District Court and pleaded guilty to the one-count charge of aggravated fraud.
For now, the Judge is allowing Cochrane-Ramsey time to come up with the money to pay-off the victims, while she awaits sentencing in March.
Interestingly, Cochrane-Ramsey is not the first person to turn the tables on Nigerian scammers.
In 2008, a radio programme, This American Life, ran a story on anonymous pranksters who sent a Nigerian scam artist on a wild goose chase that spanned 1,400 miles into war-torn Chad for a promised cash payout at a local Western Union branch.
And they convinced him to do this while carrying an anti-Muslim/pro-George Bush note, which stated his intention to rob the Western Union. Their entire plan was spelled out on this website, dedicated to turning the tables on Internet con artists.

QuarkXPress has always been the perfect tool for creating and publishing documents. In QuarkXPress 8 Essential Training, Jay Nelson—the publisher of Design Tools Monthly and a QuarkXPress expert—covers all the tools and features in this updated version of the program, from basic page layout to Flash integration and web page creation. Throughout this comprehensive training, Jay shows what's needed to produce professional-quality projects that integrate text, pictures, graphics, and tables. He also offers real-world page layout techniques that designers can apply to their own projects. Exercise files accompany the course.
Sometimes when you are choosing typefaces and sizes for your text, you will find that the text doesn't quite fit the way you like it to. Maybe you could use a little bit of condensing horizontally or stretching vertically, something like that. Now I don't suggest you do that very much unless you are trying to create some kind of bizarre effect, but sometimes it can be useful when you just need to fit something in a little bit better than it is right now. So let's just look at where the controls are for horizontally and vertically scaling text. For example, this little text box down here.
I'm going to zoom in on it so we can see it a little bit better and let's say we wanted to have that text fill out the box a little bit further. All you have to do is select the texture interested in changing. In the Measurements palette is a Character Attributes tab and when you click on it, you will see in the very far left, Scale Text Horizontally and Scale Text Vertically. So if you want to horizontally scale it, you select this button and you can click up and down on these little tickers here. It will increase and decrease its scaling by 10%.
You can also type in a different scaling percentage, say 95%. You want to hit Enter. It's at 95%. There are also keyboard shortcuts for doing this in 1% increments and that's what I use all the time myself, because a lot of times you're just looking at the text and wanting it to fit and visually it's easier to look at the text and adjust it at the same time instead of using the Measurements palette. That keyboard shortcut is Command+Option or Ctrl+Alt on Windows and then the bracket keys which are just on the right of the P key on your keyboard. So, for example, I can expand this text by 1% increments by pressing Command+Option+Right Bracket or make it narrower by 1% increments by pressing Command+Option+Left Bracket and of course you can also scale it vertically if you want by clicking this button and then changing the numbers in here as well.
QuarkXPress also has a number of type styles that you can apply or effects that you can apply to the text to make it look smaller or larger or shift up and down on the baseline. For example, Superior, Subscript, Superscript, those all move the type up and down on the baseline and in some cases, shrink it down. Small Caps is one that's used quite a bit. I use it a lot in the projects that I have, because the fonts that I'm using don't have true Small Caps versions of them. Now ideally, if your font has a Small Cap version, you want to use that.
But you can also apply the Small Cap style to a selection of type and it will do something like this and to me that's ugly and in fact hideous. If we change the scaling back to 100%, that might help a little bit, but it still doesn't look right to me. So what I always do is I change the Preferences for Small Caps so that whenever I apply Small Caps, it looks the way I like it. You adjust those preferences in XPress Preferences or on Windows > Edit > Preference and click on down at the bottom Character.
Now in here, you determine how XPress is going to draw Superscript, Subscript, Small Caps, Superior characters. Under Small Caps, I always change this to 85 and 90 and what that does is it makes the horizontal scaling a little bit thicker than the vertical scaling, and watch what happens to the small caps. Now to me that looks like a much more natural appearance, because the thickness of these letters is similar now whereas before the A was a lot thinner.
So that's just a little tip that I'd like to encourage you to consider, if you are going to be working with small caps on fonts that don't have a true Small Cap included in the family. So let me reiterate. It's usually not the greatest thing to scale your type horizontally or vertically, because the type designer put a lot of effort in making it look exactly perfect. But when you do need to do it, it's nice to know that XPress has that capability down here in the Measurements palette and also through keyboard shortcuts like the ones I described.

Lower guys on the totem pole are busting their tails to fill the last few available roster spots while the starters and confirmed back-ups are trying to get sharp and stay healthy. But preseason football is still football. And with football comes nasty gruesome injuries. Marc Mariani, a third-year receiver for the Tennessee Titans, was the unfortunate victim of a disgusting broken leg in Thursday night's preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals.
If you get squeamish, you probably definitely don't want to watch this. Mariani, who made the Pro Bowl last season as the AFC's kick and punt return specialist caught a punt and headed up field before his leg was rolled up on. The worst part about the video (besides his lower leg taking an incorrect left turn) is him grabbing his injured leg. Just awful.
Good luck to Marc in his recovery.

San Francisco Giants fantasy team preview
Updated: February 15, 2008, 5:40 PM ETBy AJ Mass | ESPN.com
There is something to be said for the concept "addition by subtraction." Certainly, with hordes of reporters no longer hanging around the clubhouse waiting for Barry Bonds ' latest "No comment," the team can focus on actually playing baseball and attempting to improve on last season's disastrous 71-91 record and last-place finish.
But exactly where does management expect improvement to come from? The offense has lost 41 percent of its home runs from last season with the departure of ...

Matthew Goodrich, FedRAMP's program manager, is quick to share credit for the program's success.
"I think people have this idea that FedRAMP is this huge team, or this huge government program or huge process," said Matthew Goodrich, program manager for the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program at the General Services Administration. "It's actually a process that's pretty simple and that follows FISMA."
One reason, of course, might be the productivity of Goodrich himself. There are active participants at the Office of Management and Budget, National Institute of Standards and Technology, and other agencies, but the core team at GSA consists of Goodrich; Director Maria Roat, the former deputy CIO at the Federal Emergency Management Agency who joined FedRAMP in February; and 11 contractors.
A look at little-known agency experts who are pushing critical broad-based initiatives, plus other leaders whose influence bears watching.
"Matt is Mr. FedRAMP," said David McClure, associate administrator of GSA's Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies.
Goodrich, however, is quick to share the credit. "We have an incredibly dedicated team" at GSA, he said. Scott Renda, portfolio manager for cloud computing at OMB, and the rest of the e-government team have been vital partners, he added, and NIST "has been absolutely instrumental in everything we do."
FedRAMP grew organically out of the Federal Cloud Computing Initiative's mandate to "remove the barriers to the adoption of cloud across government," Goodrich said.
"One of the biggest issues to come up in that initiative was security...and security is all about trust," he said. "How do we get agencies to trust these authorizations? And FedRAMP sort of grew out of that concept: If more than one agency does it together, then people will trust it more."
FedRAMP has been slow to show visible progress, but the number of approved cloud providers — and third-party assessment organizations that can evaluate them — has ticked steadily upward in recent months.
The authorization process takes time, Goodrich said. "But now you're seeing that we're beginning to hit traction with the rest of the providers, and I think you'll see a real steady rollout of new providers this summer and into the new year."

Big data
What: A call for ideas on how to improve data crunching and analysis.
Why: With military adversaries growing more sophisticated, the Navy wants a big data and analytics capability to index and anticipate airborne, undersea, and cyber threats.
A recent call for white papers on big data and warfighting from the Office of Naval Research reads more like a Tom Clancy thriller than a contracting document. The Navy is looking to use its cloud platform to host big data applications that merge information from a variety of sensors and weapons systems with other tactical information to improve anti-submarine warfare, air and missile defense, cyber warfare readiness and other warfighting capabilities.
Historically, "the ability to merge these types of information to support tactical warfighting has been extremely limited," the ONR said. The deployment of the Naval Tactical Cloud Reference Implementation in recent years provides a platform for the Navy to host a powerful analytics tools to crunch tactical, environmental, and technical data from a range of sources to give warfighters new visibility into military threats.
ONR is hoping to use analytics to provide predictive, three-dimensional models on the movements and probable paths of enemy submarines, to gather improved classification and description of airborne threats like missiles, drones, and fighter planes, optimize information on weapons inventory and use, identify anomalous network activity to combat cyber threats, and conduct spectrum operations measurements to support frequency allocation in battle zones.
ONR plans to award a total of $28.5 million through fiscal 2019 in contracts and grants for basic applied research into enhancing the Navy's big data capabilities.
The challenges are divided into four "thrust areas" covering data representation, data ingestion and indexing, warfighting analytics, and cloud security. ONR is seeking solutions to technical challenges ranging from how to develop "small, self-contained data representations and ontologies" that can easily integrate with datasets across the Navy enterprise, improving the speed of data ingestion, developing analytics to improve threat detection accuracy and speed, and validating the data to protect the overall ecosystem from tampering or other cyber threats.
White papers are due to ONR by July 18. Navy evaluators will select a few ideas for development into full proposals. Those proposals will be due by Oct. 3, and final selections of proposals for funding will be completed by Oct 24.

Transcription (software)
- This article is about software. For other uses, see Transcription (disambiguation)
Transcription software assists in the conversion of human speech into a text transcript. The primary meaning of the term "transcription software" has changed over time, with the introduction of new technologies such as natural language speech recognition. References also depend on the purpose for the transcript. The term "transcription software" can refer to a completely automated solution, or to software which helps a human transcriber manually convert spoken audio into text transcripts. In the latter case, the term digital dictation is sometimes used.
Transcription software, as with transcription services, is often provided for business, legal, or medical purposes. Compared with audio content, a text transcript is searchable, takes up less computer memory, and can be used as an alternate method of communication, such as for closed captions.
The definition of transcription "software", as compared with transcription "service", is that the former is sufficiently automated that a user can run the entire system without engaging outside personnel. However, the advent of software-as-a-service and cloud computing models blur this distinction.

Where are we now?
(article submitted by Bert van Leeuwen, managing director, aviation research DVB Bank)
Our favorite industry guru, Adam Pilarski, once again was spot-on about the industry's mood in early 2014, when he played the tune from the LEGO movie "Everything is Awesome" during his opening speech of the ISTAT 2014 conference. Indeed, from a business perspective - excluding the mysterious circumstances of the MH370 tragedy - there seems little to complain about in commercial aviation today.
Orderbooks for most aircraft types are bulging.
For the lessors, investor money is coming out of their ears and even the airlines are somewhat profitable on a global basis. Of course, there are some exceptions. For the Bombardier CSeries, the Airbus A350-800XWB and the Boeing 747-8I, things aren't totally awesome yet. And, while the North American airline market is as stable as ever after deregulation, several European and Asian carriers are suffering under increasing competitive pressure from the ever-expanding Middle East airlines and the local low-cost boys.
So, are things really awesome or – as Adam suggested – are we living inside a comfortable bubble that may burst in the not too distant future, exposing us all to the harsh reality of a downturn?
Time will tell, but for the time being, let's see where any bubbles in the various jet programmes may be.
During the first quarter of 2014, the order intake, according to Flightglobal's Ascend Online database was 510 aircraft, including all Western-built commercial jets and all civil operators.
Certain already "announced" orders, including those from Tiger (Airbus A320neo), SpiceJet (737 Max) and ANA (Boeing 777/787/A320), were not officially firmed up, according to the database, so these are not included in the order totals.
And while this figure isn't nearly as high as the 741 orders recorded during the first quarter of 2013, at 510 units, this is still a respectable sum and marks the fourth highest order total ever for this period.
The order total is actually quite remarkable as, according to the manufacturers, the single-aisle top-sellers, the A320 family and the 737, are supposed to be sold out for the next seven or eight years. In addition, it should be taken into account that the 741, 575 and 734 orders placed during the first quarters of 2013, 2012 and 2008, respectively, were not insignificantly boosted by a few mega-orders (> 100 aircraft) from carriers, such as American Airlines and Lion Air.
In terms of sales successes, during the first quarter of this year, the Boeing 737 Max took the lead with 171 announced orders, including significant bookings from Air Canada, Sun Express and several "unannounced" customers. The good old 737NG managed to book another 82 orders.
The A320neo, which, overall, is still well ahead of the Max, secured 72 orders, while the A320 obtained another 44 units, with Vietjet being the most important customer for both generations.
In the regional jet category, Embraer booked orders for no fewer than 50 second-generation E190/195-E2s from Air Costa, an Indian start-up airline currently operating just four leased first-generation E-jets. Let's hope this will not become another Indian bubble that will burst in a few years. Good luck Air Costa!
Bombardier's main success during the first months of 2014 was an order for 16 CSeries units from SaudiGulf, another start-up, this time in Saudi Arabia. SaudiGulf will have to compete against government-owned flag carrier Saudia. Reportedly Saudia will continue to enjoy subsidies on domestic ticket prices, despite increasing competition, so good luck SaudiGulf!
The most interesting category at the moment seems to be the widebody jets. The top segment, consisting of the four-engined A380 and 747-8 didn't do too well. Airbus firmed up last year's hotly debated "order" from lessor Amadeo (ex-Doric), while Boeing sold one more 747 freighter to Cargolux, probably inspired by the expansionist mood of its new Chinese owners.
In the twin-engined, twin-aisle segment there is a lot of movement, so let's take a closer look at what is going on. Airbus offers a range of aircraft in this segment. The current products are the A330-200 (246 seats in three classes), the stretched A330-300 (300 seats) and the A330-200 freighter. A "regional" variant is offered and is essentially a cheaper version with a lower maximum take-off weight compared with the A330-300. While the A330 is still selling in acceptable numbers (reportedly thanks to friendly pricing) the aircraft represents conventional technology.
As most will remember, in 2005, responding to the all new Boeing 787, Airbus announced an updated, re-engined version of the A330, called the A350. In March 2006, Steven Udvar-Hazy made it clear that this "warmed-up A330" was not enough, so Airbus went back to the drawing board to design the all-new A350XWB, which was announced in July at the Farnborough air show.
Initially the aircraft would be offered in three optimised versions, the -800 (270 seats), -900 (314 seats) and -1000 (350 seats). In 2007, under pressure from some important customers, a major change in the design of the A350-1000 was announced. Rolls Royce was to up-rate the engine core to boost the 1000's range. In 2010, Airbus had to admit the -800 would no longer be an optimised design, but a simple shrink of the -900. Was this the beginning of the end for this version? It certainly looks so, judging by the orderbook.
Boeing followed a different strategy. It's aging 767 was clearly outgunned by the newer A330, so after Boeing's failed attempts to respond with a 767-400ER and the Sonic Cruiser, the 787 Dreamliner was launched to kill the A330. The initial three versions would be the -8, the stretched -9 and the -3, a short-haul "Japan-special".
As the -3 would probably never have become a commercial success, Boeing wisely killed that variant of the Dreamliner in an early phase, probably saving itself a lot of development money. The well-documented delay in the 787 certification, and subsequent incidents, offered Airbus the opportunity to sell more A330s and so they did.
However, with the 242-seat 787-8 production now in full swing, and the 280-seat -9 to follow soon, life for the current A330 has become more difficult. The new 323-seat 787-10X that was added to the range, only will add to this.
Interesting enough, rather than design one family covering the sub-A380/747 segment, as Airbus did, Boeing decided to re-design its 777 family, launching the 355-seat 777-8X and the 406-seat 777-9X.
Even without making any judgments about which strategy will be the more successful one, a conclusion that can be made now is that there are an awful lot of twin-aisle aircraft designs coming our direction.
As we have seen in the recent past, there are no guarantees that all of them will be successful.
According to Ascend's numbers, during the first quarter of 2014, the A330-300 was still the best-selling twin-aisle, followed by the A350-900.
Looking at order volumes during the period from January 2013 to March 2014, it becomes a little more clear where the market's preference is heading.
The A330-300 is still doing well with 80 more units sold, while the 777-300ER also booked 44 more orders.
From the new generation of aircraft, the A350-900 was the best seller (192), followed by the 787-10 (122).
The 787-9 booked 39 additional orders and the -8 secured only a modest 24.
The "big twin" segment seemed to be in balance with 58 of the new 777-9Xs sold, compared with 59 units booked for the A350-1000. And this is where it becomes a little tricky, as the official orders don't tell the entire story. Announced-but-yet-to-be-confirmed orders, letters of intents, deferrals and announced cancellations have to be taken into account.
Putting all of these factors together results in the following current view, from a future value and liquidity prospective:
A330-300 : still doing well, but may need support in the form of discounting or a "neo" refresh
A350-800 : on its way to the exit
A350-900 : doing well
A350-1000 : OK-ish but under pressure from 777X
787-8 : still OK but more customers may move to the -9 variant
787-9 : doing well
787-10 : likely to do well
777-300ER : OK-ish for now, but potentially under pressure from 777X
777-8X : Direct competitor to the A350-1000 but seen as niche aircraft, unless ….
777-9X : Potential success taking orders from the big quads as well as 777-300ER/A350-1000
So, in tennis terms it seems "advantage Boeing" at the moment, but, for sure, the game isn't over.
What kind of reaction do we expect from Toulouse?
The bottom-end of their twin-aisle range seems vulnerable with the potential demise of the A350-800. Neither an all-new twin aisle, nor an A322 are realistic options. In the short-term, the much discussed A330neo seems the only affordable quick fix, and it actually may do surprisingly well. The more interesting question may actually be, with what engine?
The market seems a little limited for more than one engine supplier, but which one? While a version of the Rolls Royce Trent seems the obvious choice, General Electric seems to be re-focusing on the A330.
The A350-900 should be fine, but the A350-1000 is facing some formidable competitors. The seat-width discussion (17 inch vs. 18 inch) probably won't be enough to convince the airlines to stay away from the 10-abreast 777X.
So, what's left?
Is it possible that we will see a stretched A350-1100? Will Rolls improve the engine-efficiency? Or, could we even expect an all-new "A360", slotted in-between the A350-1000 and the A380?
While from a market perspective the latter seems the optimal solution, such an aeroplane would cannibalise both the A350-1000 as well as parts of the A380 markets. Taking the huge development costs of such a programme into account, it seems that this would be a bridge too far.
Whatever it will be, it seems likely that Airbus will have to do something at the top end of their twin-aisle, twin-engine range.
While Boeing seems to be in the lead, there are some potential issues as well. The last chapters of the 777-300ER story will need to be carefully managed, so not to fall off the cliff created by the -9X. The 787-8 may go the same way as the 767-200ER and the 777-200ER - both are reasonably successful designs, but overshadowed by their higher-capacity sisters.
The -10 should be fine for the short-to-medium term, but eventually a -10ER may become necessary (unless airlines recognise "range" has a cost at $100 bbl oil).
Finally, the 777-8X is already a bit in the shadow of its bigger sister, but size-wise is a more direct competitor to the A350-1000. It is unlikely Boeing will be satisfied with a sales volume similar to the 777-200LR (the 777-300ER's little sister, only sold 59 units in passenger configuration), so "something" may still happen there.
So, overseeing the complete picture, it seems the A320neo and 737 Max are fairly safe bets.
In the regional jet market, no obvious winner can be identified yet, but "the writing is on the wall" for some of the slow selling designs. For sure, not all of the new regionals will become a success. The twin-aisle twins leave the most room for speculation. Some of the officially launched designs seem to have problems and we fully expect something "major" will be done.
The end of the A350-800 seems near, and an A330neo launch seems increasingly likely, but with which engines?
How about the A350-1000 vs. the 777-8X? Have we seen the end of that game yet?
As one of the many armchair aircraft designers in our industry, it is easy to come up with all kinds of brilliant ideas, but the reality in Toulouse and Seattle is a little more difficult. But that's one of the privileges of having a view from another City.

Tonight's soccer game between the top two boys soccer teams in Class 4A — No. 1 Fort Gibson and No. 2 Poteau — at 7 p.m. is perhaps the most important soccer match in Poteau Pirate history.
The Pirates lost last year's state semifinal game to eventual state champion Oklahoma City Mount St. Mary.
The Pirates lost three All-State players as Spencer Hall, Blake Williams and Jesse Woodson graduated. However, due to their expertise and returning most of their team intact, the Pirates are drawing favorable attention and affirmation.
SPIRO — The Spiro Bulldogs scored four runs in the fifth inning and two more in the sixth on Tuesday night, pulling away from the Stilwell Indians 8-3.
TALIHINA — Despite a big inning, the Talihina Golden Tigers still had to hold off the Heavener Wolves for a 15-10 victory Tuesday afternoon.
Trailing 2-0, the Golden Tigers scored 10 runs in the second inning and two runs in the third inning for a 12-2 lead after three innings.
However, the Wolves would not go down without a fight. Heavener scored three runs in the fourth inning and five runs in the sixth inning to cut the deficit to 12-10, but the Golden Tigers scored three runs in their half of the sixth inning to preserve the win.
In a doubleheader featuring two slow-pitch heavyweights, the visiting Tahlequah Lady Tigers posted a doubleheader sweep of the Poteau Lady Pirates on Tuesday, winning 9-7 and 8-5.
Pocola 17, Heavener 13: In Heavener, down to their final three outs, the Lady Indians scored seven runs in the seventh inning to rally for the win.
Howe 14, Whitesboro 6: In Howe, the Lady Lions broke a 3-all tie with a three-run second inning and a four-run third inning for a 10-3 lead after three innings.
MIDWEST CITY — The Carl Albert State College baseball team suffered a road doubleheader loss at the hands of Rose State College on Tuesday afternoon, both by shutouts by scores of 2-0 and 7-0.
The Vikings, who played the Bacone College junior varsity Wednesday afternoon at Ival Goodman Field, will entertain Rose State at 1 p.m. Friday at Ival Goodman Field to make up Saturday's rained out twinbill. Then, they will welcome Connors State College to town for a 1:30 p.m. Saturday single, nine-inning contest.
SEMINOLE — The Poteau Pirates golf team was fifth out of 20 teams at the Seminole Invitational on a chilly, windy Monday at Jimmie Austin Golf Course. The Pirates had a team score of 358.
One Pirates golfer, Cody Shore, medaled as he was sixth with an 81.
Connor Wheat and Jarrett Lowrimore each shot 89s, John Scott Sanders carded a 99 and John Buckles had a 114.
Heavener golfer medalist at Broken Bow
BROKEN BOW — Heavener golfer Jackson Long was 10th-place medalist at Tuesday's Broken Bow Invitational, which took place at Cedar Creek Golf Course. He shot an even 100.
Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 784 and volunteers will hold a Children's Easter Egg Hunt at Heavener Runestone Park at 11 a.m. Saturday.
More than 4,800 plastic eggs filled with candy will be placed in four separate areas. The area ages are for children 3 and younger, 4 to 8, 9 to 12, and a special area for physically handicapped children.
Parents are reminded that mixed in with the candy eggs are special prize eggs that have a numbered ticket. Parents should be sure to check all the eggs before leaving Heavener Runestone Park and claim the prize the day of the hunt.

The Carl Albert State College board of regents named Kathy Quirk executive director of the CASC Development Foundation during a regular meeting at the college's Sallisaw campus.
Quirk has been managing the foundation on an interim basis, but the regents' actions made the job hers officially.
The regents meet twice a year at the J.T. & Mary Jo Stites Multipurpose Room at the Jerry Hetherington Center in Sallisaw, according to Judi White, director of public relations and marketing for Carl Albert State College.
Poteau Main Street Matters Executive Director Keri Powers said she's hoping to see the pocket park on Dewey Street get a facelift. Powers made her remarks at the organization's annual banquet Tuesday at the Reynolds Center.
She showed artist renderings of some of the planned improvements, including replacing the concrete flooring of the park with sod and building a stone and brick entry with iron gates that could be locked at night. Among the plans for raising money for the project are selling engraved bricks.
Diane Lorraine Puryear passed away peacefully at home on Feb. 25, 2013, at sunset, serenaded by a full chorus of frogs. She was born in Poteau on Aug. 11, 1951. She grew up in Panama and Arcata, Calif., with her three siblings, David, Linda and Bruce. Linda and David passed in 2012, preceded by Bruce in 1997. Diane graduated from Arcata High School in 1969. She joined the U.S. Marine Corps for two years during the Vietnam era. While enlisted she was a clerk during the time of changing from typewriters to computers.

Toshiba cuts price for entry-level HD DVD player to $299
By - Source: Tom's Hardware | 0 comment
Compared to its more expensive sister models, the HD-A20, which sells for $399 and the HD-XA2, which remains at $799, the HD-A2 comes with the same core feature set, but is only capable of displaying videos in 720p and 1080i resolution (and not in 720p/1080i/1080p). Other differences include a downgraded remote as well as the absence of an analog 5.1 audio port in this entry-level model.
Blu-ray players are currently about 50% more expensive (if we leave refurbished and open-box items out of consideration). Online shops are offering Sony's BDP-S300 or Samsung's BD-P1000 players in the $450 – $550 range.
On the PC side, Toshiba announced a new version of its desktop replacement notebook series Satellite P205. The model P205-S6347 is now available with a 720p-capable HD DVD drive. Other features of the notebook, which will retail for about $1450, include an Intel Core 2 Duo 5450 (1.66 GHz) processor, Intel's 4965AGN draft-n Wi-Fi chipset, 2 GB memory and a 200 GB hard drive.

The new cast of Celebrity Apprentice has been announced, and in case you thought her 2011 would go any differently than her 2010 (note: no one thought that), unfortunately Donald Trump rejected Lindsay Lohan from the cast. According to Trump, "[The Lohans] approached me, and we did talk about it. It's just not the right time. Lindsay has to straighten herself out first. And I know Dina, she's a really lovely woman. I don't think she gets very much credit – she's tried. I know Michael a little bit. It could happen in the future, but right now we need to see Lindsay get straightened out." Hmm, and here Dina Lohan claimed the show's producers approached Lindsay earlier this year. Interesting. Still, it's pretty admirable of Trump to admit that being on The Apprentice would destroy any and all chances of Lindsay has of recovering. We appreciate his honesty.
The entire motley crue of freaks, has-beens and divas that will be appearing this season include David Cassidy, Niki Taylor, Richard Hatch, Marlee Matlin, Meat Loaf, Mark McGrath, Playboy Playmate Hope Dworaczyk, Lil Jon, Dionne Warwick, LaToya Jackson, Gary Busey, José Canseco, Star Jones, RHOA's NeNe Leakes, Lisa Rinna, and country singer John Rich. See, Lindsay? Marlee Matlin has an Oscar and she is still doing Apprentice. Even if your career picks up again, there's a huge chance you'll find yourself being screamed at by Trump at some point in the future. Never give up hope.

Looking for the spark...
My name is Kate and I am 27. I grew up in Annapolis and have lived in Federal Hill for the past 3 years. I love BSSC leagues, volleyball, kickball, softball... I am very competitive and love all sports! Preferably playing, not watching unless we are actually at the game. You guys better bring your A game if you plan on challenging me to anything because I won't go easy on ya! I am a very generous, kind person with a great sense of humor. I would do anything for the people I care about if it meant making them happy. I like going out on the weekends or staying in and watching a movie. I enjoy hanging out with friends, traveling, summer cookouts, happy hours, shopping, good movies, going to the gym, cooking... pretty much anything that involves a good time. Concerts and comedy shows are also a favorite of mine. I just saw Daniel Tosh and I have upcoming tickets to Dave Chappelle's tour. I do try to make it to church every week. It would be nice to meet a guy that had at least semi-similar beliefs. I currently work at a large financial company in Baltimore, but I am currently on the job hunt for something more Marketing related. I am looking for another young professional with a similar lifestyle. It is very important that the person I am with has their life together and loves to laugh. Maybe able to take/dish out some sarcasm every once in a while ;) I am a very open person, but I do usually prefer a guy that is taller than me when I'm wearing heels. I'm only 5'4 so hopefully that's not too tough of a challenge... Also, I'm a sucker for a guy that can make me laugh. So, if you're interested, feel free to drop me a line. Thanks for reading!

Christmas Tree Recycling.
** Updated 1/3/2013: There are about 30 different troops covering the west side of town and even more covering the east side, Camas, and Washougal. People should call the local Boy Scout service center at 360-693-1741 if they don't have a flyer from the group covering their neighborhood. **
While Christmas 2011 is over, I still haven't had the heart to take down our Christmas Tree. It's a live tree (well, it used to be) and the needles are drying out a bit, so most likely it will come down on January 2, 2012. That gives me a whole 5 days before the Cub Scouts will be out looking for Christmas Trees to pick up.
This year Cub Scout Pack 494 will be out picking up Christmas Trees on Saturday, January 7, 2012. If you would like the scouts to recycle your tree, please leave it at the curb by 8:45 am; making sure that all ornaments, lights, tinsel, and tree stand ( ) have been removed.
A $5 per tree (or more if you want) donation is greatly appreciated. Please make checks payable to Pack 494 and place in an envelope taped to your front door,
or call 360-571-9084 for mailing address.
I you have any questions, or if your tree has not been picked up by 3 pm, please call the phone number above.

CHICAGO -- Antawn Jamison's ailing shoulder will keep him off the court well into the regular season.
The Washington Wizards announced an estimated recovery time for Jamison's injury Friday, saying he's likely to miss the first eight to 13 games.
"The most important thing is it's a long season," he said. "We've got some guys who we added to the team and can help us out. I've just got to do what I've got to do as far as rehab and get ready as quickly as possible."

When she was 14 years old, Noelle Howey's mom let her in on the family secret: "Your dad likes to wear women's clothes."
Dress Codes: Of Three Girlhoods — My Mother's, My Father's, and Mine, is a poignant account of Howey's struggle with her father's transformation from an emotionally distant dad to an affectionate transgendered woman.
Author Noelle Howey joined ABCNEWS.com for a live chat on Monday, Dec. 9. The transcript follows.
Also: Read an excerpt from Dress Codes, the latest selection in Good Morning America's "Read This!" book club series
Welcome, Noelle, thanks for joining us.
When you first found out about your dad's cross-dressing habit as a 14-year-old girl, you were stunned. How have your feelings changed over time?
Noelle Howey
Over time, it has become very normal for me — almost to the point where I have to stop from time to time and remember that this doesn't happen in everyone's family.
This has been something I have dealt with and came to terms with about 15 years ago. If I were still dealing with these issues — and if this was still a painful ordeal — I couldn't have written the book. I would still be too involved in coping with it. Now it's kind of old news in my family.
How have the changes that your dad went through altered your perception of gender? Do you now see the divisions between male and female differently than you used to?
Noelle Howey
That's a great question. I absolutely see male and female differently than most people do. I don't see male and female as something that is just biological. To me there is an element of choice and orientation.
There are women who are masculine; there are men who are feminine. There are so many different kinds of ways of expressing one's gender. Many of them are so subtle that I think even those of us who would never think of having a "gender problem" still grapple with gender issues — like women who feel they aren't feminine or girly enough or guys, like my husband, who feel people expect them to watch sports all the time.
I think the lines are very flexible — more so than people want to admit, most of the time.
Alexis asks:
I read this after it was shown on the show, and I thought the book was extremely warm and funny. I really enjoyed it. Was writing the book very cathartic for you?
Noelle Howey
Actually, no. I think writing in your diary should be cathartic in the sense of releasing your emotions and processing things. But when you write a book, you're trying to communicate with other people; it's not just for you.
So I wasn't willing to write this book until I thought that it would be interesting and entertaining for other people — and until I could have a sense of humor about it. I didn't want this to be one of those depressing memoirs everybody always talks about.
Warrn asks:
Does the author think that the experience would have been more, or less traumatic had it been her *mother* who'd decided to cross over and become a man? Is there more stigma attached to acting feminine, as Madonna suggests in her song, "What it Feels Like for a Girl"?
Noelle Howey
It would have been harder if it were my mother — mostly because my mother and I were so much closer, so any big change on her part would have been difficult.
