WASHINGTON, Jan. 31, 2006 Award-winning satirist Garry Trudeau of "Doonesbury" fame visited the Pentagon today to meet with troops wounded in the war on terror and present them autographed copies of his book featuring the healing process of a comic character he said they inspired.
"The Long Road Home: One Step at a Time," tells the story of comic strip character "B.D.," a National Guardsman who lost his leg during the Battle of Fallujah in Iraq and suffers from post-traumatic stress syndrome.
Like many real-life U.S. servicemembers who have lost limbs in Iraq and Afghanistan, B.D. was evacuated to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany before his transfer to Washington's Walter Reed Army Medical Center. There, as he undergoes the painful healing and rebuilding process, B.D. and his wife Boopsie are cared for at Fisher House, a home away from home on the hospital's grounds.
Trudeau said he received much of the background and inspiration he uses to tell B.D.'s story in his Doonesbury strip from wounded troops he has met during numerous visits to Walter Reed and the Fisher House. In return, he's donating all proceeds from "The Long Road," a book compiled from the strip, to the Fisher House Foundation.
The foundation operates 33 Fisher Houses in the United States and Germany and plans to open six more soon, said James Weiskopf, the foundation's vice president for communications. These houses, on the grounds of military and veterans hospitals, offer a setting where family members can be close to their loved ones as they are hospitalized for an injury, illness or disease. "I've made some friends over there at the Fisher House," Trudeau said, noting that he finds "enormous satisfaction in being able to help them."
Trudeau said he decided to take B.D., a former football star, and have him receive a life-altering injury because he wanted to dramatize the kind of sacrifices troops are making in a very direct way.
Since his initial injury, caused when a rocket-propelled grenade hit his Humvee just outside Fallujah in April 2004, B.D. has endured the long road to recovery in a way that's inspiring, insightful and even humorous.
"There's a twisted part of my brain that squeezes humor out of anything," Trudeau said of his ability to inject humor into some of the life's most difficult circumstances.
While he has no concrete long-term plans for where he will go with his story, Trudeau said he would like to see B.D. advance "to a place where he can manage his symptoms and live a productive, normal life."
In one possible scenario, B.D. could return to Walter Reed as a peer counselor, sharing his experience and wisdom with other wounded troops as he helps them through their own recoveries, Trudeau said. In doing so, he said he can help bring visibility to other combat-related injuries that don't get the same amount of public attention as amputations.
Trudeau said he gained immense inspiration from wounded troops in developing B.D.'s character and is hopeful they'll find inspiration in B.D. and "The Long Road" as well. "I want it to be a tool to help them in the coping process," he said.
While every wounded troop has different experiences and different injuries, all share some common threads woven into B.D.'s character, Trudeau said.
During visits to Walter Reed, Trudeau said, he's been "astounded" by the wounded troops' lack of bitterness or self-pity and impressed by what he calls their "indomitable spirit." So many express hope of getting better so they can return to their units, even when that likelihood seems impossible. "It takes your breath away," Trudeau said.
Trudeau said he considers it "quite a privilege and an honor" to be able to sit at wounded troops' bedsides and have them so openly share their experiences, as well as their hopes and fears, with a total stranger.
Army Spc. Joey Kashnow, a 4th Infantry Division soldier who lost his leg after being wounded in Taji, Iraq, in September 2003, was among the troops Trudeau met with today at the Pentagon.
"I think it's fantastic what he's doing," Kashnow said of Trudeau's support for wounded troops. Sitting with the cartoonist and chatting about his injury and the long healing process he's undergoing, Kashnow said he's glad to see people put politics aside as they focus on the troops.
Trudeau admitted that it's no secret he's not a strong advocate of the war in Iraq, but said B.D. is not about politics, but rather, about American support for its men and women in uniform. "We're asking a great deal of our servicemembers," he said.
Like B.D., Kashnow demonstrates a toughness Trudeau said he so commonly finds among wounded troops. Kashnow hopes to stay in the Army, go to helicopter school and become a pilot. And just like B.D., he might even become a peer counselor to help other wounded troops through their recovery, he said.
"I'm too young to be this crippled," the 27-year-old Baltimore native told Trudeau. "It just doesn't work for me."
By portraying stories like Kashnow's through his fictional character, Trudeau said, he hopes to keep reminding Americans about the sacrifices their servicemembers are making, particularly those who return home wounded.
Trudeau plans to release a second book of B.D.'s story, "The War Within: One More Step at a Time," later this year. Like the original book, it will consist of comic strips from the Doonesbury series, which is syndicated to more than 14,000 newspapers worldwide.
Trudeau said he welcomes feedback about B.D., "The Long Road" and the Doonesbury comic strip at his Web site.

Under Secretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs Maria Otero will lead the U.S. interagency delegation to the International Tiger Conservation Forum in St. Petersburg, Russia, November 21-24. During her visit, Under Secretary Otero will also hold separate meetings with civil society groups and Russian Government officials.
At the Forum, Under Secretary Otero will emphasize the U.S. Government's commitment to saving the tiger and meeting the goal of doubling the number of tigers in the wild by 2022, the next Lunar Year of the Tiger. The United States has funded many tiger conservation and habitat protection programs and is eager to work with range states. Over the past 14 years Congress has helped to provide over $11 million in grants for tigers, including almost $2 million in 2010. Through bilateral assistance, the United States Agency for International Development has provided over $10 million for conservation work throughout Asia in 2010, much of which helps to protect key tiger landscapes.

continued On the northern edge of this tongue of wilderness designation is the Cedar River, and north of that is the Chain of Lakes Area that the DEC proposes to be classified as wild forest as far as the lands of the Goodnow Flow. The limitation of further motorized access along the road crossing that the DEC indicates wilderness would make it necessary for individuals and families to hike a distance if they wanted access to the Cedar River.
By many in the audience, this was seen as a major impediment to tourism and associated economic benefit to the town.
Indian Lake Town Councilman John Valentine said it would be more favorable to Indian Lake if the road provided car and truck access as far as the Cedar River at the point where the old bridge once stood. This would allow families, sportsmen and those other than the extremely physically fit to have access to the river from the south as easy as from the north.
Valentine said that such access would allow a family to put into the Cedar River from Pelon Road and take out where the Chain of Lakes Road would meet the Cedar. With such access in mind and what it would do to afford the economic opportunities for the town, he questioned whether some sort of corridor could be made that would allow car and light truck use of the road to reach the Cedar River.
The DEC's Martin suggested that the road could be deemed usable if "the case can be made that it is a former town motor road. Then it could be grandfathered in." It was stressed that paperwork that attested to this fact would be the best proof.
Valentine said he would like to see families have the opportunity for a "wilderness" experience without having to hike a tremendously long distance with boats and gear. He also said he would like to see sportsmen have access to the area from the south without facing the same distances with gear and game.

@haplo0879 The valve knocker engagement latch is extremely annoying on the WE PX4. Tthere's this silver piece sticking up on the body that the slide engages when racked. That piece lets the valve knocker fall to firing position. After decock, (pulls knocker and silver piece up), the piece should drop down again on a hair (should drop down on a DA pull as the hammer lets off the knocker), though mine doesnt engage at times like yours. Best I'll do is open it up, lube, clean (too much oil = bad).

@pUrpLEsnake325 Get this, the quality is reported to be very near TM in performance and build quality. As WE actually isn't the OEM of this gun, rather, a company called HK3 located in Hong Kong, it doesn't carry most WE qualities in it. The only drawback is the relatively low FPS that it fires at, but the range is still excellent.

This is ridiculous, and nowhere near ASGI quality. However, I see this one guy on Evike with what appears to be a similar issue. Suspicious...oh well, I'll just have to go and find myself a genuine TM slide to be safe then.

U.S. Credit Rating Downgraded
By NPR Staff
Standard & Poor's has lowered its long-term credit rating on the United States from AAA to AA-plus. It also says the outlook on the long-term rating is negative. The ratings agency says its action comes because of the prolonged controversy over raising the debt ceiling and other fiscal policy.

Looks like Prince Harry is dealing with his break-up with Chelsy Davy just fine. He and his brother Prince William helped boost the morale of the downcast English soccer team after they tied with Algeria during the World Cup.
They visited the locker room with David Beckham and William commented, "When the guys went into the changing room they were fairly upset with how they played, but by the time we finished, we'd laughed and joked." How did they manage doing that? Well, they acted … stupid. William explained, "Harry and I behaved like idiots. We tried to get David in on the act as well, and the three of us tried to raise some spirits. That was all we did really."
Princes and court jesters! That's something! And just because… here' a little something (hint: shirtles pics of World Cup players) to get you revved up about the World Cup!

Negredo scored 23 goals in his first season in England following his move from Sevilla, but the last of those came in January, with his form suffering a severe downturn.
The emergence of Stevan Jovetic has moved Negredo further down the pecking order at City, and despite stating his desire to keep the former Sevilla hit-man, City boss Manuel Pellegrini has allowed Negredo to return to his homeland.
Negredo follows Micah Richards out of the door at City, after the England defender joined Serie A side Fiorentina on loan until the end of the season.
La Liga side Valencia have an obligation to purchase the Spain international at the end of the loan period.
Negredo used social media to confirm the deal.
He said: "Today I say goodbye to a magnificent club … Manchester City.
"I want to thank the club for helping me become a better footballer and for making me and my family feel at home during my time here.
"Today I say goodbye to Manchester City, but I take with me many memories, lessons, and great moments that will live with me forever.
"I want to wish Manchester City (much) success for the future and thank the club for giving me the opportunity to sign for Valencia, a club to which I want to give back all the trust they have given me and start a new season with (much) success."

Love it, Sheila! You know I'd already own one of WendyB's pieces if Dear Hubby wouldn't kill me for buying it. I scored this necklace for Megan in a thrift store, and passed on the black jet beads I've owned since the early 90s. I love the pendant so much - and am honored because of her excellent taste and style - that she's wearing them :)Delete
Oh my goodness, I totally love this outfit and you look so cool! Every last bit of this outfit is perfection together.ReplyDelete
I have a belt that I want to take a picture of and see if you want it. I have been saving it for years hoping I would get in it again, but I don't think that will ever happen. I'll send you a photo.
SQUEEEEEE! Check your email now, please, I tried to buy the dragon tie nicely :)ReplyDelete
I love seeing those necklaces on you, and love that you're wearing them. God, you look gorgeous.
Bugs think you love them 'cause you love bug clothes. That's just how it works, Sweetie.
A bee?! Oh, my!ReplyDelete
Those boots are amazing!ReplyDelete
Glad to hear you are sewing up a storm - sometimes once you get started, it much easier just to keep going, no?
Huge fan of the dragon obi and star bootsReplyDelete
I know what you mean. If I want to wear boots, I wear boots, dammit! no matter how hot it is outside. Then I just go back inside, defeated and switch my boots for some sandals. LOVE your boots though! a LOT!ReplyDelete

Oh, I wear mine all day! I just sweat it out. Actually these boots are fairly thin leather and don't sit against my skin much so they weren't a bother.Delete
That dragon tie is a great find - especially for an obi belt. And the star boots are GREAT!ReplyDelete
Eek! I would have died or drove into a tree. I've been stung by bees so many times. :( I must smell like honey or something.ReplyDelete
The dragon pattern is cool. And the boots are most excellent. I wear my cowboys all the time in the summer--in fact, they are the most comfy pair of shoes I own.ReplyDelete
That is an awesome belt, I love the pattern. Those boots are cool too, though I could never pull them off. They are very Megan Mae, indeed. =)ReplyDelete

behaviors which cause problems on the road, as well as
identifying why most collisions are preventable. This class
also studies the difference between good driving and defensive
driving, and teaches important techniques in hazard detection
and collision avoidance. Defensive Driving
provides a driver with tips for handling what one can control (You
and your vehicle) and provides useful guidelines for
handling conditions one cannot control (traffic, weather,
roads, other drivers, etc..). This meaningful course
teaches that safe driving is created through a personal, life
long commitment to be a responsible, low risk driver and that
these habits can be the difference between health/injury or

injury, and fatality rate of all drivers. It identifies
immature, high risk behavior and the consequences of it.

situations which can lead to bad judgment and driver error.
Alive at 25 has a curriculum that encourages
teen drivers to think before they act, and examines ways to
keep control, as a driver or passenger.

American Family Teen Safe Driver Program
Free Program offered by American Family
The Teen Safe
Driver Program helps parents identify risky driving and coach
for improvement before dangerous behaviors lead to vehicle
damage, personal injury or worse.
The program has
been recognized locally as well as by Good Morning America,
CBS Morning Show, and The Wall Street Journal.
Did you know
that when mom and dad are out of the car:
The Teen Safe
Driver Program uses a small device placed behind the rearview
mirror of a teen's vehicle. It captures the view out the
front, and into the interior, of the vehicle but never saves
any data UNLESS activated by an erratic vehicle movement –
extreme braking, cornering, and acceleration or if there is a
collision. When the device is activated, it saves an event
comprised of the previous ten seconds and the following ten
seconds showing not only WHAT happened but WHY it happened.
Parents and
teens log in to a secure Web site to view the video and tips
for safer driving.
In addition to
the individual events captured, parents receive a weekly
driver report card. Teens are coached for improvement in
problem areas, and also praised for good driving events.
Results are
dramatic and immediate:
program is entirely free.
It will not
impact the teen's insurance rates, even if risky driving
behavior is recorded. Nor will it impact American
Family's willingness to pay for a crash where the teen is at
fault. The clips are not sent to American Family.
Teen Safe
Driver helps make a transition to a safer, more mature driver
an enjoyable experience for both the teens and their parents.

Product description
An important practical sourcebook for new ways of undertaking research, this volume presents both an up-to-date assessment of the state of theoretical and methodological debates in collaborative human research and a summary of projects undertaken using collaborative methodologies. It addresses some of the difficulties involved with the collaborative approach: when the researcher is no longer separated from the researched, questions about how to collaborate and how to manage power relations become important. When people are inquiring into their personal experience, questions of subjectivity and validity are raised. These methodological problems are addressed in the first half of the book, while the remainder resolves them in research contexts.

Author information
I retired in 2009 from an academic career at the University of Bath in which my primary contribution was to the theory and practice of participatory action research. I was Director of the Centre for Action Research in Professional Practice (CARPP) and co-founder of the MSc in Responsibility and Business Practice. In these programmes we pioneered graduate education based on collaborative, experiential and action-oriented forms of inquiry.
Review quote
'a significant and stunning contribution to the growing literature on new paradigm research... New paradigm inquiry is finally and ineluctably producing a literature of its own as powerful and persuasive as that which exists for conventional, positivism inquiry. Reason's new book will be a major building-block of that body of methodological and case study literature. For its careful definitions, its methodological deliberations and its exemplars, its utility will be likely long-lived' - Yvonna S Lincoln, Associate Professor, Vanderbilt University 'a very exciting book, which will be of great interest to all those who are involved in new paradigm research, and all those who may be sceptical about it' - John Rowan, Self & Society 'As an example of practical epistemology, this work is refreshing. It is down to earth, politically motivated and applied. It is about collaborative research inquiry with and for people, and the development of an alternative methodology for research in the social sciences... worth reading' - Metascience

So You Think You Can Dance
Top 5 Most Romantic Contemporary Dance Routines on SYTYCD
Boxes of chocolates, bouquets of roses, overstuffed teddy bears... These are all great ways to show your Valentine that you care. But we can't think of a better way to say "Happy Valentine's Day," than enjoying the 5 most romantic contemporary routines ever to grace the So You Think You Can Dance stage.
5. "Falling Slowly"
In Season 5, we fell rather quickly for this Stacey Tookey routine to The Frames' "Falling Slowly," featuring contemporary dancer Karla Garcia and salsa whiz Jonathan Platero. The two connect the technical steps with tender embraces — making us believe they really are falling for each other.
So lovely!
4. "If it Kills Me"
Contemporary dancers Jeanine Mason and Jason Glover had us swooning over their performance in this Travis Wall routine to Jason Mraz's "If it Kills Me." Travis skillfully incorporates a heart-shaped locket into his choreography, but, ultimately, it's Jeanine and Jason's unabashed abandonment to the emotions of the steps that makes this routine so memorable.
And that kiss at the end...phew, that's romance!
3. "Right Here Waiting"
Season 5 certainly packed in the romance with routines that made us feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Melissa Sandvig and Ade Obayomi floated through this Mandy Moore routine to Richard Marx's "Right Here Waiting." It was a sweet SYTYCD moment, with sweeping movements and breathtaking lifts that Melissa and Ade made look effortless.
2. "Turn to Stone"
One of the most moving dances in SYTYCD history was this Season 8 Travis Wall routine to Ingrid Michaelson's "Turn to Stone." Melanie Moore and Marko Germar hypnotized the judges and America with their beautiful technique and heart-felt performance. They may have been portraying stone statues, but their expressiveness wasn't at all hard or cold.
One of our all time faves!
1. "Collide"
On Season 7, a love story unfolded before our eyes, as we watched Kent Boyd and Lauren Froderman dance this Travis Wall routine to Howie Day's "Collide." Kent and Lauren told a tale of young love through their movement and portrayed a teenage couple on prom night. All of the elements were there: great choreography, smooth dancing, and powerful emotions.
This routine also ended in a smooch on the lips — sending the audience into a frenzy. Romance was in the air!
Happy Valentines Day!

Welcome to the Official Site of
Joe Grey, P. I.
The sharpest feline sleuth on the mystery scene--one cool cat, a clawed and formidable enemy of crime.
If they move too fast, center your mouse pointer on or below them, not to the side.
This site is now devoted entirely to the Joe Grey series of cat mystery novels. For information about author Shirley Rousseau Murphy, her recent novels The Cat, the Devil, and Lee Fontana and its sequel The Cat, the Devil, the Last Escape, plus her other books, please go to www.srmurphy.com.
Good news! A new Joe Grey mystery, Cat Shout for Joy, is coming in February 2016. More details will be posted soon.
"Murphy has a huge fan base and has won awards for good reason... Great sleuthing with a feline touch."--Cat Fancy
"What makes this series so delightful for both cat lovers and readers of offbeat fantasies is that Murphy's convincing anthropomorphism allows the cats to maintain their feline natures while still adopting human speech and cognition." --Booklist
"The book's charm lies in the clever cats and the people they care about. This is a must read for those who enjoy the feline side of sleuthing." --Romantic Times
"Excellent reading.... Not to be missed!" --Armchair Detective
"Talking cat fans will welcome Murphy's exciting 18th mystery [Cat Bearing Gifts] featuring feline Joe Grey, in which Joe's tortoiseshell friend, Kit, plays a lead role. . . Anyone unfamiliar with this cozy series will be quickly drawn in by the complete believability of Murphy's crime-solving felines and their helpful human companions." --Publisher's Weekly
Shirley Rousseau Murphy says of her Joe Grey cat mysteries, "Joe and Dulcie set the mood by granting me rare glimpses into the feline world. I see the room from beneath the furniture; I remember Egypt and witchcraft; the scream of a skewered mouse is as music.... These cats are not cute, Joe Grey is not your sweet natured kitty. Joe's detecting skills run to swift action and to picking up classified information from Police Chief Max Harper as Joe lounges on the poker table ... the gray tomcat is a devotee of the cutting retort and the sneaky surveillance technique." --Mystery Scene.
The Joe Grey books have won eleven Muse Medallion awards!
For best cat novel of the year from the national Cat Writers' Association, presented at their annual conferences.
All of the Joe Grey books, plus the related novel The Catswold Portal, are in print. (If you can't find them, any bookstore can order them for you--just ask!

By Air Force Senior Airman Joel Mease379th Air Expeditionary Wing
SOUTHWEST ASIA, April 3, 2013 Some might see the desert as brown, dusty and generally void of life. But while they may fail to see much color in the desert skyline, a maintenance noncommissioned officer deployed here sees a landscape full of potential.
It all started a few months ago, when Air Force Tech. Sgt. Christopher Carr was kicking around some rocks, as so many service members like him have done before.
"I kicked over this one rock and it just clicked," said Carr, an aircraft battle damage repair technician with the 379th Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron. "It was just the perfect canvas, and best of all, it was free and there were plenty of them."
At first, he said, he just doodled on the rock with a marker, but then he felt there was so much more he could do with it.
"I've always been a fan of art since I was a kid," said Carr, who hails from Birmingham, Ala. He thought a little paint could do wonders for the rock.
"So I contacted my better half in the United States and asked her to send my paint and brushes," he said.
What started as a small art project morphed into an art gallery full of rocks -- 60 of them so far -- with the goal of making someone smile, Carr said. Some of the rocks have special characteristics, adding texture to simulate the bumps on a frog, for example.
Carr's gallery of rocks, though, isn't meant to be a private collection. He plans on randomly leaving his artwork throughout the installation with the hope of adding a little color to someone's day.
"Maybe you will see a cartoon character on top of a napkin holder at the dining facility, or maybe you've had a really bad day as you're waiting at the bus stop and you look down to see a frog sitting on the bench," Carr said. "Hopefully, it's something that brightens your day, and [makes you] say, 'Hey maybe things aren't that bad.'"
Whenever people encounter one of his roughly three-inch pieces of art, he said, it's up to them what they would like to do with it.
"You could pick it up and take it with you, or maybe even lay it somewhere else for someone else to kick over and find," Carr said. "Maybe it will inspire others to do their own artwork, or leave an inspirational message if you're not an artist."
Carr's artwork already has made an impact on his co-workers, according to his flight chief, Air Force Senior Master Sgt. George Morris.
"His enthusiasm is contagious," Morris said. "Tech. Sergeant Carr does a great job of translating that artwork into a positive outlook to his fellow aircraft maintainers."
Carr's flight chief said he first heard Carr's plans about his artwork during a routine walk outside the maintenance facility looking for debris that could pose a safety hazard. Carr picked up a plain rock, he added, and said, "This is really nice."
"I asked him why, and upon learning about his talents and plans to disperse them, I was a bit skeptical at first until I saw his work," Morris said. "Then I knew it was for real. In my more than 24 years in the Air Force, I've never met anyone with his unique skill set."
Whatever a person does with his artwork, Carr said, he hopes it allows them to see the installation as something more than a military base in the desert.
"They always say … to make things better for all those coming behind you," Carr said. That's just what he intends to do, he added.

Ashland blanks Midland, 5-0
ASHLAND -- With sloppy conditions, some early sloppy play and the right bounce Tuesday night, Cabell Midland could have been right in the girls' soccer match with Ashland Tuesday night.
However, Ashland's leaders stepped up in the second half, and the Tomcats ended up steamrolling the Knights, 5-0.
Ashland first got on the scoreboard in the 11th minute, when a shot from Charity Collins went through the mitts of Cabell Midland keeper Jess Meade. The ball skirted to the far side of the goal, where all Emma Davis had to do was tap it in.
Meade's night got considerably worse a few minutes later, when she collided with an Ashland player during a corner kick. She had to be carried off the field by her teammates and didn't return. She was replaced by sophomore McKensie Akers.
Ashland controlled the pace of the game, but settled for some bad shots while Cabell Midland struggled to string passes together and get offensive opportunities.
And, the Tomcats nearly let the Knights slip right back into the game.
Just before halftime, Cabell Midland striker Kayley Stephens got behind the Ashland defense with keeper Megan Downey out of position. It was a difficult angle, but Stephens managed to get off a shot that nearly went in but caught the bottom of the crossbar and bounced out for Ashland to clear.
"We didn't finish in the first half," said Ashland head coach E.B. Lowman II. "I think we took 16 shots in the first half and they took one. They hit the crossbar with their one and we got one in the net."
Lowman said he talked with his squad at halftime about making better decisions with the ball and finishing plays.
Still, Cabell Midland was opportunistic and nearly evened the score right out of the gate in the second half, as Angel Harrison found herself open and put a hard shot toward goal that went just wide.
After that, the sophomore Collins and senior Sarah Hudson took control for Ashland, coordinating the team's attack and all but eliminating any counter-charge from the Knights.
"We moved it well, we executed I think very well, and then we started finding the net," Lowman said. "Charity is a very complete player, probably the most complete we have. Sarah Hudson is just strong and aggressive. We played her at outside midfield, and the thing she did that I appreciated is that she didn't just run down the line with the ball. She looked for passes and then looked to get it back."
Hudson got Ashland's next goal, in the 55th minute, on a down the line pass from Collins.
The roles were reversed on the next goal, in the 60th minute, when Hudson sent a cross into the box that found Collins, and Collins hammered a shot past Akers.
Jenna Cook scored unassisted on a long shot from outside the box, and Collins finished the scoring with a free kick that just eluded Akers' outstretched arms.
A - Davis (Collins), 11th minute.
A - Hudson (Collins), 55th minute.
A - Collins (Hudson), 60th minute.
A - Cook, 64th minute.
A - Collins (free kick), 71st minute.

Police are now searching for two suspects involved in an armed robbery at a Central Point 7-Eleven last week.
Police are searching for a man they believe to be an accomplice to the robber.
He was originally thought to be a customer, however video surveillance shows the two men leaving the scene in a light-colored SUV.
The second suspect is described as being in his early 20's.
In the video, he was wearing a black MTV hoodie, black t-shirt and gray jeans.
The armed robber is described as being in his early 20's, with a blue hoodie, gray baseball cap, black jeans and black tennis shoes.
If you have any information in this case, you are urged to call police.

My favorite food delicious chocolate covered strawberries.
10 Strawberries
½ cup Chocolate chips
Candy decorations
Step 1: Strawberry prep
Wash your strawberries and dry them well. If they were in the refrigerator wait until they are room temperature to use them or the chocolate will not stick very well.
Step 2: Melting the chocolate
Add your chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir. Repeat until the chocolate is completely melted. It took me 1 minute and a half.
I never thought of that....

Letters to the Editor: 02.07.09
A tough job
According to the Saturday Caller-Times, Bryan Smith was cleared of an accusation which resulted in his demotion to commander. Capt. Wayne Tisdale has been suspended without pay for alleging false information which did not incriminate Smith.
So why hasn't Smith been reinstated as chief of police? This could save the Corpus Christi taxpayers a ton of money needlessly spent on a job search for a new chief.
The job of police chief is not a popularity contest. The job is going to run into many deferring opinions, which are not going to make some people happy, but it's a job that needs upfront and direct decision-making skills.
Not only does Smith have these skills, but many more attributes which more than qualifies him for a return to his former position. Do the citizens of Corpus Christi a big service and reinstate Bryan Smith. We deserve it.
Keith Crowe
(Bryan Smith was removed for violating city policy by recording employees without their knowledge. The violation was discovered in pursuing allegations that he had made disparaging remarks about officials, an allegation of which he was cleared. The editor.)
Poor quality HD
I switched to HD TV three years ago. Our local channels are so far behind the times that they still broadcast in a format that actually makes the picture worse; sometimes they have HD programming, but you then need to install an on-air antenna to receive the HD version.
Why won't our local channels allow people to access the network feeds? I have applied twice and been turned down on both occasions. Please tell me why.
Most people I know who have invested large sums of money into HD TV complain about the quality of reception we receive and still we live with it. Let's get with the rest of the state and start broadcasting in true HD, please!
John Davies
Help for economy
After listening to the debates and discussions about the Las Brisas project, I researched what this project is about. I attended a presentation and discussion by the company, and local citizens, instead of just listening to the "talk" around town.
I cannot determine why anyone wants to fight this investment in our community. The plant's emissions are a fraction of a percent to the allowable emissions controlled by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
This $3 billion investment will create about 1,200 construction jobs. It will provide about 150 permanent jobs averaging $75,000 per year with benefits. In the first 10 years, it will put $400 million to $500 million tax dollars into our schools, county, and city coffers. Not to mention the indirect dollars that will be spent on motels, groceries, etc. (Don't anyone ask me to vote for another bond issue again.)
Many of us have said, and recently Joe Adame and others have talked about, allowing the private sector to buy land to produce revenue and create jobs, thus helping our taxing entities with revenues. I totally agree. This is a perfect start for our community to go forward, diversify, and stabilize our economy.
Terry Arnold
Health concerns
Energy security and a strong economy are of great importance to our community. The backers of Las Brisas claim that it will provide jobs and cheap energy. However, health concerns with the plant are very troubling. Cancer, cardiac disease, respiratory problems, such as asthma and infection, neurobehavioral problems, and poor newborn outcomes are found with the type of emissions that Las Brisas will release into our environment.
With great effort, expertise, and the use of cutting-edge technology, our health-care community treats many of the diseases associated with the type of pollution that Las Brisas will release. Sadly, Las Brisas is unable to use its own cutting-edge technology to prevent the emissions that can produce the same diseases that our health-care providers work so diligently to treat.

Promise broken
Re: Editorial Roundup ("Obama signs the Lilly Ledbetter measure," Feb. 2). I noticed that the guest editorial was courtesy of the New York Times and it took a stab at the Republican "opposition to civil rights."
What it failed to mention was that this measure -- known as the pay equity bill -- was not posted on the White House Web site prior to its signing.
By doing so, President Obama broke one of his campaign promises that "as president, I will not sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House Web site for five days."
Further, the White House refused to respond to requests for comment on the matter. Will this just be one of many broken promises yet to come?

Writer: Owner & Developer Relations, Housing & Student Living Office
Approved housing is an important part of the Housing & Student Living Office's mission to "create and foster a culture in which students learn and live the principles of Zion in their apartments and homes." Through approved housing, the university can help ensure students are able to live in an atmosphere conducive to the goals and mission of BYU-Idaho. Additionally, students and managers are able to appeal to the school to help resolve issues or conflicts.
All single students under the age of 30 must live in approved housing unless they live at home with their parents. Exceptions to this requirement (for example, permission to live with a close relative, etc.) are granted on a case-by-case basis by the Housing & Student Living Office Exception Committee. All off-track students who remain in the Rexburg area must also live in approved housing.
Title IX Approved Housing
The Fair Housing Act of 1986 governs community housing to protect individuals from discrimination based on gender, race, religion, national origin, familial status, or disability.
The Title IX Higher Education Act of 1972 governs BYU-Idaho approved housing. It provides a general exemption to educational institutions to discriminate by gender (20 U.S.C.1681.Sex).
In 1988 a religious-tenet exemption letter from Bruce Hafen, then president of Ricks College (now BYU-Idaho), was submitted and accepted which allows only BYU-Idaho admitted, matriculating students to live in university-approved housing (34 C.F.R. 106.12(b) Exemption). This allows the university to establish apartment living standards that uphold the unique mission of our educational institution while still being in accordance with Idaho state law.
Approval Process Summary
The process to become BYU-Idaho approved housing for single students is conducted in cooperation with BYU-Idaho and the city of Rexburg. BYU-Idaho inspects and determines compliance with apartment specifications established at the sole discretion of the university. The city conducts physical and safety inspections and determines compliance with all city, state, federal, health, and safety ordinances, including zoning and building codes.

Feature Requests & Questions
Since there seems to be a number of musicians and would-be musicians here, how about a monthly feature sitting down with members of some of the hottest acts around asking them a set of 10 questions regarding the inner workings of their rise to fame. I know I have lots of questions that I'd like to have answered by pros like how did you know it was time to hire a crew? or how did you know it was time to take the plunge and quit your day job and go on the road? do you live on a tour bus? do you get to take baths? and things of that nature. Ya' know; industry questions. Maybe it would help the musicians of the future not put out such crap if they know a little more of what to expect. I, for one, would be more than happy to go and meet all of these bands. Feel free to mail me my press creds.

USA Today
Cruising with the windows down and the wind in their hair is how many people like to drive. But that open feeling could be costly. New research suggests that people in the USA are more likely to develop skin cancer, such as melanoma and merkel cell carcinoma, on the left side of their bodies. Driving may be to blame, because the left arm receives more UV, say researchers from the University of Washington in Seattle, who analyzed cancer cases in a government database They found that when skin cancer occurred on one side of the body, 52% of melanoma cases and 53% of merkel cell carcinomas were on the left side. On the upper arms, 55% of merkel cell cases developed on the left side. The study, published online in April by the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, provides the strongest evidence to date of a left-side bias in skin cancer cases in the USA... Read More

Summary of different models for the formation and current tectonics of the Marmara Sea grouped into three major kinematics classifications. Which model is correct has significant implications for the seismic hazard at Istanbul. Depending upon the model, the Marmara seismic gap could be ruptured by a single large earthquake or multiple smaller earthquakes with corresponding large differences in ground shaking and damage.
Over the last 60 years, the North Anatolian Fault has ruptured in a series of destructive earthquakes with an overall propagation from east to west. The Marmara Sea is the only major gap along the North Anatolian Fault.
Finally, we note the most of the research effort has focused on the northern Marmara Sea where deeper water makes data acquisition easier. However, offset markers indicate up to half the Holocene slip expected may be missing. Less intensively studied branches of the NAF farther south, such as the one shown above in Gemlik Bay in the SE Marmara Sea may contain the missing slip.

Hi There,
I just love this wee video which has been doing the rounds on our TV advertisement breaks for the past few days ... It tickles my fancy hehehe... and I have just heard today on TV that it has gone viral ... Enjoy !!!
~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~
If I Had My Child To Raise Again Movie: Please 'click' the foregoing to see a short inspirational movie based on the highly acclaimed poem "If I Had My Child to Raise Over Again" by Diana Loomans. We often say children grow up in a flash - that before you know it, they turn from grinning toddlers to insolent teenagers. Perhaps it isn't about the speed in which they grow, it's about how present we are able to be in each and every moment of their lives. It's about how we cherish the time we spend with them. Take just 3 minutes now to watch this short movie. Sit back, turn up your speakers and enjoy!
Cheers, Kate xxx.

Then we continued our scouting with U16 game between Sweden and Finland, but it has figured out as extremely one-sided (45-69). Hosts one more time confirmed that they are the most perspective team of Nordic Cup, while we think that all one from Swedish starting five have got chances to continue game on quite satisfactory level in couple of years. Being sure of victory, Swedish coach gave chances to all players. However, one more time the most productive on court was bulky, but mobile power forward William Skagius ('96). He can knock down pull-up midrange shoot, but his main weapon are posting-up and post-movies. Playing back to the basket at this level of competition he is just unstoppable. Couple of good moves under the basket showed also 6'9'' Sebastian Brusewitz ('96). Still immature center with great size - by his generation standards - despite being somehow bulky, impresses with the fluidly how he run the court. He is undeniably long-time prospects and could be intriguing target for some European clubs. With his size, understanding of game, really promising frame, quite soft hands and ability to play back to the basket, he could turn out top Swedish prospects in 1996 generation.
Because of lack of emotions in half-time we moved to second gym to take a closer look on U18 national teams of Denmark and Norway. This game was also not too exciting, while Denmark easily won (77-55), however it was worth to follow this game. Why? Mainly because of two promising big guys from 1995 generation. We have on mind once again 6-9 Matz Stockmann ('95) -at the pic- and for first time 6'7'' Rasmus Stolbjerg Hansen. Hansen gave amazing substation finishing with 15 points and 10 rebounds in just 11 minutes of action! Hansen, who last summer played really satisfactory at European Championships U16, impresses with rare combination of size, more than average wingspan, jumping abilities, timing and smartness. Being used by coaches mainly as power-forward Hansen on offensive end is really mobile, playing well without ball and taking advantage of better setting up in paint. Must be noticed that quite versatile Danish forwards avoids posting up and scores most of his points being face-up: aggressively rolling after pick&roll, cutting off well or after offensive rebounds. Thanks to high release points and ability to "stay" in air for a longer while his shoot is really hard to block.
However, the more perspective seems to be Stockmann. Left-handed power forward looks like a being a bit out of team. In addition his teammate are undeniably not used to play with him by low-post. Really calm and patient Norwegian is all the time focused and it all helps him to make good decision in most of time. Today he was 6 on 6 from the field, showing really efficient midrange jumper. Stockmann is one of the Scandinavian prospects participating in this year's Nordic Cup, who has got amazingly big room ahead him to improve and chances to play somewhere abroad at senior level. Mobile power forward, who can knock down midrange jumper with smartness, his size, soft hands and ability to play duo actions could adapt at higher level. In addition he shows amazingly soft hands, being able to finish on different ways with both of them. Not many 17-year player are able to finish with hooks and floaters from so high release points as he. However, Stockmann lacks character of fighter and his mentality is questionable. It does not change fact that he still is one of top prospects of whole tournament. Now it is time for him to improve his frame, what looking at his shoulders, should not be a problem. It would help him to better post-up, because at this moment of lack of bulk Stockmann is easily to push out from low-post.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.- Kelsey Hogan (Nashua, N.H.), a freshman guard on the University of New Hampshire women's basketball team, was named America East Rookie of the Week, as announced by the conference Monday afternoon.
Hogan, who was named America East Player of Game in New Hampshire's season-opener against Bryant, led the Wildcats with a game-high 20 points, on 7-for-14 shooting from the floor in her collegiate debut.
During 39 minutes of action, the guard totaled eight boards, all on the defensive end, and dished out four assists to lead the squad in both categories.
She notched 11 points during the second half of action, including five straight to break a 50-50 tie and give the Wildcats a five-point lead (55-50) halfway through the second stanza. She also hit a fast-break layup toward the end of the game to get the Wildcats within one point, 67-66, with 24 seconds on the clock.
She is the first freshman to lead the team in scoring in a season opener since Nov. 28, 1993 when Pam Brandell led the squad with six points and seven rebounds against Rhode Island. The 20-point performance marks Hogan as the highest-scoring Wildcat freshman in season tip-off games over the past 25 years – and possibly ever, as records prior to that season are inconclusive.
Sophomore forward Denise Beliveau (Framingham, Mass.), who was selected as the 2008 America East Rookie of the Year, also earned Rookie of the Week honors during the Wildcats' first week of action last season.
Hogan and her teammates will travel to face the Minutewomen of Massachusetts on Wednesday, Nov. 19.

Below is the poem entitled Unnoticed which was written by poet
Daniels. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Matt Daniels
When you drown in your sorrows,
Thinking, I don't want to live for tomorrow.
When you pass by a kid with their Dad,
Thinking, that's something I never had.
In and out of mental hospitals,
Sinking in the deep mud puddles.
When you sit alone in the corner,
As they just figure you're a loner.
Never to be heard.
Picking people out on the street,
Wondering if they have the same prints as your feet.
Looking in the mirror, wondering who's the reflection,
A radar burning through the skin for detection.
Only to leave scars,
Across the tops of the arms.
Blades falling upon the ground,
Not to be found.
The unnoticed,
Was the reason life went out of focus.

Get Into the Holiday Spirit with Mrs. T's Pierogies
Spring Vegetable Pierogies
Spring Vegetable Pierogies
...recipe is missing the cube of salted butter slabbed onto the kaya toast, at least done the traditional way. also, what bread did u use in the picture? thks
Saba fish, grilled
Steaming .
I made palak paneer with feta cubes. They hold their shape whee when cooked. They do have their own rich briny flavor compared to paneer which really is more cottage cheese in taste.
Loaded potatoes, but w pumpkin instead
So i have some coffee powder sitting in the fridge right now. we'll see how it goes. at this point, i cant shell out even 10bucks for any coffee equipment, so no press, chemex, grinder, dripper etc.
if Anyone has any idea to brew hot coffee hacker style? Please, share!
Vital wheat gluten for seitan ; tvp/textured vegetable protein, milk, cottage cheese
Lack of pictures (don't believe that the author really did make the recipe without photo evidence); serving size( esp. Baking recipes tht do not specify pan size); ingredients listed in random order
Yogurt + onions
There are numerous studeies on the relationship bw oats and cholestrol, this one i linked here is a more recent study
http://www.nutritionj.com/content/10/1/130, they have the full study there in PDF .
Pretty sure your friend's claim is more of hearsay than science based.
soluble fibre , which is present in oats, has shown to lower cholesterol( specifically LDL or low density lipoprotein cholesterol - the so called bad cholesterol; though i have my own reservations wrt to this). the type of soluble fibre is called beta-glucan.
steel cut oats may be more "whole" but that I have yet to see any studies have proven steel cut oats to be more nutritious. Maybe ask your friend where she derived her conclusion from.
Agree w dashofginger
There are many great vegetarian dishes, I even enjoy mock meat like seitan, but meat and seafood have a different texture, taste and mouthfeel that cannot be found in vegetarian only food.
Think about it the other way, have you ever had meat so delicious and good that it can convince you to give up all vegetables and be a carnivore ? No matter how freakin good that meat/fish dish was, I doubt it is good enough for one to say that they can permernantly not ever touch vegetables again.
Chili powder
Sichuan peppercorns
Dried Lemon peels
yogurt/fromage blanc sauce base, fresh chilies, onions - all before hitting the oven.
I'm a college kid. I have no coffee making equipment , not even filter paper. Can I make cold brewed coffee -since it doesn't involve any coffee specific equipment- then heat it up for a hot coffee? How would the flavor profile be affected?
I am a recent coffee convert since starting college.
I have alot( like 5++kilos) of frozen fish. I have no more storage space in my freezer. How can i preserve these frozen fish in a way that would not require refrigerating them?
I was thinking of smoking but then smoked fish needs to be refrigerated. Anyone has any preservation method or recipes for frozen fish?
What's the name of the style of omelet that has like a runny scrambled egg interior?
Not the rolled type or the foldover type where eggs are spread out in the pan, fillings added to one half ,then folded over to over the toppings with the other half.
Also, creamy egg white scramble are quite impossible due to the lack of fat right? I was thinking of blending whites + yogurt + xanthan gum, then cook and stir over low heat. Is this dumb or possibility of finally getting some creamy whites?
Btw, will adding baking powder to my eggs allow me to create fluffy scrambles?
I was thinking of making ice cream with whipped cream. Since I don't have an ice cream maker, I want to use the freeze and churn(hand held mixer) and freeze and churn method.
Will I lose volume if I stabalise the cream w gelatin before adding it to the base, freeze, then churn ?
Does the above make sense?thnks
What's your preferred way to eat it? I made some kimchi and need some inspiration.
how do you tell apart mature and immature fava beans/broad beans?.
I have a bag of frozen broad beans. it does not say mature or immature and they are not in pods.
I also have a bag of dried broad beans. They have a dull greenish colour.
I would like to know if they are mature or immature. since the nutritional difference b/w the two arehuge, the immature has like 1/5 of the calories of the mature beans( based on weight).
thanks for the help people!
How do you gauge weather a stove top custard is thick enough for a no-bake custard pie such that when it gets sliced( after cooling) it would not be too runny?
i cooked my custard till it coated the back of a spoon and left a trail when stirred but it was still too runny. it definitely was thick, but not slice-able, i would say more suitable for individual tarts
does the custard need to pull away from the sides like a choux pastry? i was worried it would become too firm.
any help greatly appreciated!
btw, what is the difference between a custard and cream pie?
Which would make better pizza? Cheese over or under toppings? Just curious to know serious eaters preference .
I'm confused as to which is the correct/better method to cool a Japanese cottonsoft soufflé cheesecake. Some recipes calls for the
1)cake to be cooled in the oven (rationale: drastic change in temperature causes the cake to collapse)
Eg : http://www.thecookbookchronicles.com/blog/?p=3906, http://lilyng2000.blogspot.com/2005/10/cotton-soft-japanese-cheesecake.html
While other calls for the cake to be unmoulded immediately (rationale : Allowing cake to sit in mould causes cake to sink)
Eg: http://wendyinkk.blogspot.com/2010/05/japanese-cotton-cheesecake-with-fresh.html, http://mybakingcottage.blogspot.com/2008/01/japanese-souffle-cheesecake.html
So which is it?, both sounds logical to me...I would love to bake a real good Japanese style cheesecake
Any advice /input out there???

Hey guys and gals,
So I really want to make a layer cake but I don't have enough pans to bake 3 seperate layer. Was thinking of baking one really tall cake and then splitting the cake horizontally into 3 layers. Any idea how to convert layer cake recipe to do this? Like how much longer to bake and all? Thank you!
turning into mush...the dried beans are unsoaked. ...plan on making some chili but will be out of house like 15 hours.thanks!
whenever i make low fat+low sugar ice cream ( done w/o ice cream maker, i use the freeze and stir method), it basically turns to ice the following day. thus, i was thinking of doing this to store the ice cream:
ice cream in ice cream container, then placing the ice cream container in a bag of salt before placing it in the freezer
my rationale is that the salt will lower the freezing point of the ice cream, so it should prevent the ice cream from turning into ice too easily.is this a good idea?,your thoughts?
was also thinking about lining the container with wax paper, would this help?
or does anyone have any solution wrt to storing low fat+low sugar ice cream?...thanks guys!
hi, so my bread dough rise alot during the 1st rise, but after shaping and handling it into the shape i want(making cinnamon rolls), the dough failed to rise much at all the 2nd time...why is this so???...thanks!

its sweet but i pretty use i can use it for other purposes...(like crumbling it into tart yogurt?)
