Brenda Lucas: Community news
CRAM IT: Free sessions of "Exam Cram" is from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Feb. 8, and March 1, at Boyd County Public Library, Ashland.

A session is also available from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 15, at Kyova Branch Library. Call 606-329-0518, Ext. 1410.
FRIEND: One would think as long as I've known Glenna Akers of Proctorville, Ohio, that I could remember her birthday, but guess what? For whatever reason (other than getting older), I cannot get this date in my head. In any event, if it is today, was earlier or even tomorrow, here's hoping it was or is as special as she is. She has remained a true friend over the years and sings gospel songs as sweet and humble as any angel, while playing the guitar.
CONCERT: "Mountain Stage with Larry Groce" begins at 7 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 2, at Culture Center Theater, State Capitol Grounds, Charleston. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Featured are John Gorka, winner of Kerrville Folk Festival's prestigious "New Folk" award in 1984; Justin Townes Earle, Wesley Stace, Nellie McKay and Elizabeth and The Catapult. Advance tickets are $15 or $25 day of show. They are available at Taylor Books, 800-594-TIXX or MountainStage.org.
MISS: Although I didn't visit Jenny Chatterton much in her last few years, she was in my thoughts and prayers more than anyone could ever imagine. This Christian inspiration always treated me like one of her four daughters. I often have thoughts of her, especially as I look around and see such beautiful gifts she had given, notes she had written or messages left on my heart. This great mom would have celebrated a birthday today but she was called to her heavenly home in 2009.
GIVEAWAY: Westmoreland Baptist Church hosts a clothing giveaway from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Feb. 1, at 3401 Hughes St. Adult and children's clothing, as well as winter coats, are available. Call 304-429-1348.
THANKS: With the economy decline and high unemployment rate, charitable organizations feel the crunch about as bad as most. But businesses like Charlie's Harley-Davidson step up to the plate to make a difference. Thanks to this business for helping raise $580 through donation-based gift wrapping in December for Huntington's Enterprise Child Development Center.
LESSONS: Ballroom dance lessons in tango are from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Mondays in February, beginning Feb. 3, at Underwood Senior Center. Classes, instructed by Gayle Riggs, cost $6 each. Contact 304-453-1250 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

He heard one man say to his wife, "Look, honey, here comes your anesthesiologist."

The House just passed a resolution declaring how Tennessee is a state and the federal government best back up and respect our sovereignty. Rep. Susan Lynn, R-Mt. Juliet, trumpeted the bill during the first Nashville Tea Party for all of those states-righters that didn't like federal spending or taxes or President Obama.
House Democratic Caucus Chairman Mike Turner of Old Hickory asked why Lynn was OK with states telling local governments what to do, but didn't like the federal government directing states.
"You're for big and intrusive government as long as it's on the state level?" Turner asked. Lynn said states had the right to tell both local and federal governments what to do, aside from the authority given the federal government in the Constitution, because states made both governments.
The resolution passed 85-2 (including Turner's yes vote), and now goes to the Senate. Reps. Willie Borchert (D-Camden) and Johnny Shaw (D-Bolivar) voted no. Much of the Legislative Black Caucus abstained from the vote.

Crime stoppers is offering a thousand dollar reward for information that leads to the arrest of one man. After posing as a magazine salesman police say he swindled hundreds of dollars using the ATM card of a 92 year old Medford woman.
Edith Rawlings-Hatcht admits giving up her ATM Card was a bad idea but says at the time, the young man posing as her neighbors grandson had a pretty convincing story. He claimed to be with a church group, selling magazines for veterans overseas. After realizing she didn't have the cash to pay for the four dollar subscription, the boy offered to take her debit card to the ATM for her. Police have released photos from that ATM of the suspected thief. Tonight the victim of that hoax is trying to recover her confidence which she says is low after being taken advantage of at her own home.

A random Question Poll
Ok guys and gals, here is a completely random "relationship" poll.
Lets say you have a friend of the opposite gender (or same if that trips your trigger). You've know this friend for 3 or 4 months at the most. This friend has just broken up with their "significant other". This friend invites you come see them over the holidays but they live 250+ miles (3 hours drive) away. You decide to go.
Select your answer as to why you go from the above poll options.
You may choose more than 1 answer.
in it's purest sense - assuming i'm making the trip, as a male, and she's a female who's just been made single - i'm only making a 250 mile trip during the holidays because i'm thinking something more may come out of it. i might do it for the 'booty' but more likley for something more for that effort.
the tricky part comes in your vagueness. the most important, i think is if it is a man or a woman making the trip? i might answer differently based upon that detail, among others.
btw, i only chose #2 (and keep in mind, i'm almost 40 and happily married ;P)
well, now I know what a bootycall is :Smirk:
Please explain how you would answer differently if the person traveling were:
A) Male
B) Female
I voted for #2 too.... although under the right circumstances I'd go for #3...
if a woman travels that far in that circumstance, i would assume a smaller chance of a simple "bootycall", and again, depending on variables. but overall, i think the bootycall drive is more likely to happen if it is a man driving to a woman - really almost regardless of the distance. ;)
eh, I think they enjoy knocking boots as much as we do ;)
Assume that the person making the trip is a female, younger, single - recently out of a relationship of about 1 year. Assume also that this person is short on money for gas, although gas is cheap.
whats that old bumper sticker?
cash, grass or.... :D
My opinion: You wouldn't have been invited if there wasn't interest from the other party in developing more than a friendship. This is a test to see if that affinity is shared.
Women, in my opinion, almost always have an ulterior motive.
If she wasnt into you she could maintain a friendly relationship over the phone.
I had to choose "Other" for the simple fact that I wouldn't make the trip at all.
If the person lives that far away, the chances of me really knowing them all that well are slim.
Sure, an visit would offer an opportunity for me to get to know that person better, but what happens when the visit is over?
I go back home and the person is still hundreds of miles away.
In my opinion, people that invite others to make that trip... or make that trip themselves... are more often than not desperate for attention and affection. It is extremely flattering to find out that someone is so smitten with you that they would invite you to make such a journey. It is so flattering that you would be seriously tempted to make the trek.
However, making a trip like that is simply a bad idea.
Even if things go well and the two people decide to start an LDR, the chances of that relationship lasting for any real length of time is dodgy at best. Sure, there is always the 'option' for one of you to move closer to the other, but again... the likelihood of that happening is rare.
I'm not saying that it can't happen or that it hasn't happened for some... it's just that the viability of such a thing transpiring is next to nil.
If I was a parent and the person contemplating on making the trip was my child (who lived under my roof), then I wouldn't allow them to make the trip period. My house, my rules. I'm the parent and they're the child. I wouldn't care how old they were. If they're old enough to make decisions like that, then they are old enough to move out and get their own place... and if they were short on gas money, then that would be even more of a reason for me to forbid such a thing. It just doesn't make any good sense to make a trip like that when:
1. You haven't known the person for very long
2. You likely won't have the chance to visit them often
3. You're short on funds to make a drive that far anyway
Hey, it's a big world out there.
If you can find someone you find interesting and/or interested in you... and the person lives that far away, then you can definitely find someone just as interested in you who lives closer, even in your own city, town, state, etc. All you have to do is be patient.
Oh Baggss.

Houston maker of multicultural dolls goes public
By Carol Christian : January 25, 2013 : Updated: January 25, 2013 2:21pm
Photo By One World Doll Project
These four dolls are part of the new Prettie Girls! OWP line offered by The One World Doll Project. The Houston company plans to start selling the dolls in April.

Stacey McBride-Irby, a former doll designer for Mattel, has partnered with Houston business executive Trent T. Daniel to create The One World Doll Project.

Trent T. Daniel of Houston is the founder of The One World Doll Project.
Houston business executive Trent T. Daniel has partnered with former Mattel doll designer Stacey McBride-Irby to create the One World Doll Project, a new company targeting the multi-cultural market.
The company's first line of five dolls, known as The Prettie Girls! OWP, won't be available until April. However, demand for high-quality minority dolls is so great, especially among African-Americans, that the company's administrators decided to take the firm public, said Daniel, the founder.
"African-American women can't find dolls that look like their children in the store," he said. "We recognized there was a demand in the market place."
The Pretty Girls! OWP line includes Alexie, Caucasian American; Dahlia, Middle Eastern Indian; Kimani, African; Lena, African-American; and Valencia, Hispanic American.
Based in Houston, the doll maker went public Thursday under the parent company One World Holdings. The company was issued the stock symbol OWOO.
"We had a great debut," Daniel said. We opened at 15 cents a share and closed at 25 cents. This is definitely a win for the city of Houston, whenever there's a new public company."
The One World Doll Project is Houston's first doll or toy company to go public, he said.
The idea for the company arose in 2010 when Daniel met McBride-Irby at a speaking engagement he had in Virginia. At the time, McBride-Irby was still designing dolls for Mattel, where she created So in Style Barbie, the company's first African-American Barbie.
As the two chatted about what she had done at Mattel, McBride-Irby told him she wanted to start her own doll line.
"I said, 'If I can pull some investors together, would you be willing to leave Mattel?' " he said. "That's what we did."
While McBride-Irby continues to live in the Los Angeles area, the company's administrative headquarters is in Houston. The dolls will be made in China, at a plant previously used by Mattel to make Barbie dolls, Daniel said.
The One World dolls will have the same quality of hair and clothing as Barbie dolls, he said.
"We wanted to be the company to provide not only authentic dolls of color (but also) ones that truly could compete with the quality and look of Barbie," he said.
Although the company is hopeful it will succeed financially, its goal is broader, according to a news release issued Thursday.
"The One World Doll Project's core mission is to make one of the most significant, positive cultural impacts on play and in the doll category in recent history," the release said.

in Part2, there is "Optional- Region Change Wii", and i am thinking to change the region from English to non-English like Japanese; i have the following questions:
1. after changing the region, all the menus will display in, say Japanese, just like a Japanese wii will? so there is no difference between the japanese wii you buy at the store and the one you create here by changing the region? any other consequences?
2. can we do this part even after finishing the mod including the downgrade to 4.1 firmware? i ask this since i can not decide if i really want to change the region yet.
3. once we change the region, can we still revert it back?

Jackie's Virtual Playground
It was a good plan in theory, but it didn't really work out, so I'm no longer blogging anonymously. It just felt a bit strange, not quite right. So after two posts I gave up. I guess I'll continue to keep my innermost secrets secret. :)
Spam – everyone hates it, but on a blog install it's best not to just ignore it and let it mount up. The other day I had to go through a database and delete over 12000 spam comments for somebody who had no anti spam plugins and was running an old version of WP. It wasn't a pretty sight (site?). Akismet is your friend! As is Bad Behaviour and Spam Karma 2. I've only lately installed the last two here, Akismet has been doing a very good job but it does fail to catch the odd one or two. Extra fortification can't be a bad thing. I'm not sure on the best settings though so I've left everything at default for now, if you have trouble leaving a comment send me an email via the contact page.
Scuttle has been upgraded. I love it, though there are a few bugs I've noticed. Namely that the RSS feed seems to display in reverse order, as do the links on the main page when not logged in. Haven't managed to find a fix that works for either issue on the Sourceforge page. It's not a biggie for me, I tend to use the tags or search when looking for a link anyway, and as it's only me that uses it it's not a huge problem. Shame about the RSS feed though.
As you will notice, I'm also tinkering with the theme again, using the excellent Simpla theme as a base this time. I'll continue to tinker over time, think I'll be sticking with this one for a while, it's nice and clean looking and very easy to work with.
Glad you like the theme. I like what you've done with it:)
All of your themes are gorgeous Phu. ;)

Recipe by MIA
"Aunt Rosie bakes her famous Gob Cake and brings it to every family function. It uses a basic box cake with a few more ingredients and some homemade icing. Start your own family tradition!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (18.25 ounce) package
chocolate cake mix
1 (3.9 ounce) package
instant chocolate pudding mix
1/4 cup
vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups
2 cups
confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup
1/2 cup
1/2 cup
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
3 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
I had mixed feelings about this as I went through the steps of making it. The cake turned out beautifully, deep chocolate and evenly risen and baked. The filling surprised me--it started out runny but after 5 minutes whipped up fluffy and light. The only trouble was that it didn't have much flavor. It really wasn't even sweet enough. It spread beautifully, the top layer went on like a breeze and the finished cake looked, well...unfinished. I'm sure this was meant to look and taste like a Hostess SuzyQ, but I really wasn't impressed. I knew it needed dressing up with an icing or glaze. A few minutes later I had it it covered with "Easy Chocolate Bundt Cake Glaze" and now I had something! The glaze is sweet, which was the perfect compliment to the more subtle cream filling, and together with the deep chocolate cake, this was just chocolatey, creamy, gooey, fudgey bliss. Warning: this is very rich, so a little goes a long way!
This cake recipe is fantastic if you like heavy, dense cake which I do. The filling on the other hand is not great. I followed the directions exactly. It kept seperating and it was like eating a spoonful of powdered sugar by itself. I scraped it off and ate the cake alone, it was plenty moist and delicious.

This is the best cake I've had in years! I didn't have two 10x15 pans, so I substituted two 9x13's.... worked out fine. I'll be making another batch as soon as I'm done with this review!
This cake was really good, moist and not too dense. The filling on the other hand never got to the "whipped cream" stage...I even added extra flour to try and thicken it. Next time I will use my mother's icing recipe that is similar to this one...1 stick butter, 1/2 cup shortening, 1/2 cup milk, 4 heaping tablespoons flour, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, 1 cup regular white sugar. Put all ingredients in bowl and beat on high until sugar dissolves. Thanks for a good cake recipe...will be making again.
I used slightly smaller cookie sheets, and the recipe came out just fine. Made this as my husband's birthday cake...was a big hit at our house.
This recipe is so easy and so good - everyone wants to know the recipe. I send them to allrecipies.com and tell them to look for Aunt Rosie's Gob Cake. When a function is coming up everyone asks if I'm bringing the Gob Cake. Try it you'll really enjoy it.
This review is for the cake portion of this recipe only. I made the cake part into sandwiches and it made 56 - 2 1/2" disks. I baked them in my muffin top pans. The cakes looked beautiful when I took them out of the oven but within 2 minutes they were completely flat. It didn't affect the taste, just the appearance of the finished product. I will try these again at another date.
I only used the gob part of this recipe; used a cooked icing recipe from another source, but the cake turned out great! I dropped a small amount of batter onto parchment paper and sandwhiched the icing between 2 halves in the more traditional way of making gobs. They came out very well, i'm keeping this one for the future!

This news comes after a weekend of drama, all stemming from a leaked Circuit City ad. While we originally suspected that the 80GB model, due to the ease of modification, would remain a Korean exclusive, Sony has given everyone the swerve. This early of a price drop comes as a shock, however, as it wasn't terribly long ago that Sony was telling folks to get a second job in order to afford one. We expect to hear more about how this price drop and new model plays into Sony's master plan this week at E3.
In the US, the PlayStation 3 spent 230 days at its initial price.
[Update - The meaty part of the press release has been pasted after the break. Enjoy!]

>Are you suggesting you could take me?
I doubt I could take you in a straight up fight, but in a debate you appear to be a couple clips short of a firefight. You have accused me of being insensitive, a muslim, a sympathiser, a supporter of terrorism. This is all standard fare for you.
You seem to have a problem separating the civilians from the enemy, not all Muslims are terrorist. Just like not all Christians are nutjobs that believe in achieving Armageddon in their own lifetime.
I dont despise your freedom of speech, I dislike the way you use it to attack your opponents rather than their arguments, but i would not stop you from posting. Freedom of speech means all speech not just speech you approve of. Whether it comes from the bible or the Koran or anything else for that matter. Everyones beliefs deserve to be aired and tested even those I disagree with.
>What does Fox have to do with this topic?
I did you the courtesy of reading the links you posted. Its a standard "guilt by association" article that has pretty weak links along the lines that someone knows someone who is guilty of something dodgy. Thank god christians dont get involved in dodgy transactions. They mention a "Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, who has funded numerous projects tied to the Global Muslim Brotherhood" . that is the same prince that is the second largest shareholder in the fox network. He also has pretty good relations with the US govt and the Bush family. After all USA and Saudi Arabia and share billions of dollars in contracts between them.
But it explains your debating style, you dont read it, or if you do, you dont comprehend it. You just shoot down anything that opposes you. Like you are playing whack-a-mole. If you get it wrong god will sort it out. A sort of intellectual get of jail free card.
But if you are a serviceman good on you. I am proud of anyone who serves their country. But you dont just protect the land or the citizens that you like. You have to protect them all and you have to uphold your nations values. My flatmate is ex-service and many of my neighbours are currently serving.
> Your understanding of the 1st explains everything about you, which is childish. The 1st includes
> the Freedon of Speech. It's 1st because it's that important!
The First amendment guarantees both freedom of religion and freedom of speech.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"
And you should also consider the spirit of the founding fathers when in the Declaration of independence they state:-
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
It is pretty obvious to most that the founding fathers meant freedom of religion for everyone.
So soldier will you fulfill your oath and protect the Bill of rights? They are the first ten amendments of the Constitution of the United States of America? You swore an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;.."
Or will you you allow your oath to be subverted because you dont like one religion?
There is a difference between a debate and flaming. Else this will devolve into a Roo v. Coyote roasting. I have seen a large grey Roo rip open a really large dog.
You have used ambigiuos quotes as proof of argument. They must have local meaning. So I will leave them alone. But your "terrorist" funding argument is full of potential.
Terrorist funding, I suppose you mean the kingdom foundation? the organisation that has the Arabian Prince as a primary benefactor? Well I bet that Prince doesnt invest as much in that foundation as he does into the Fox network, being the 2nd largest shareholder after Rupert Murdoch. How close is Fox next to the ground zero site? Hang on, Rupert used to be Australian, that means us Australians, your Allies in Iraq and Afghanistan, are sinisterly implicated in Funding the "Mosque". Are you going to Gitmo us as well or will just nuke us on your determined march towards Armaggedon?
When you ignored the spirit of my comment, by stating that Islam is the Antithesis of everything that America stands for. I found it ironic that those who watch the Republic of the United States of America from afar seem to appreciate its strengths and values more than those citizens who trumpet their ignorance.
Australia has to work closely with both Indonesia and the USA. They are more alike than you would probably be aware. They both have around 300 million citizens. Indonesia is a largely Islamic nation of decent sensible people but with a core of determined religious nutjobs willing to ride the ignorance around them into politics and power. The United States is a largely Christian nation of decent sensible people but with a core of determined religious nutjobs willing to ride the ignorance around them into politics and power.
The Nutjobs on both sides have been frothing for a rematch since the Crusades. They load the ignorant with xenophophic rhetoric and send them out into the world to explode anywhere their opposites congregate. If we are lucky we only get showered with faulty logic and argument, if we are unlucky we get torn apart with ball bearings and shrapnel. When you believe god is on your side then no crime is too great as long as it perpertrated against your enemy. If your enemy gets in the first blow then it is an act of the devil.
Good ol Rupert Murdoch always knew how to milk a media network, He has developed a news network for people who would rather let someone else tell them how to think. As long the networks programming keeps telling its viewers what they want to hear, Rupert will never go broke. He is capable of changing allegiances if business requires. With his connections on both sides, It doesnt matter which nutjobs wins Armaggeddon, he will always be welcome.
It seems like a childish cop out - but I suppose if you dont believe in the 1st Amendment right to freedom of religion. Then become a citizen of a country that has no such right, such as Iran. Australia has no Bill of Rights, we have treaty obligations and legislation which enacts it, but you have be as wealthy as Rupert to protect your rights. Be thankful for your rights which will stop you being chased into the sea by the dominant religion in your area.
@bayoucoyote > Does the Bali bombing offend you at all? Does it raise any hairs when you think about it?
The bombing offended me. It didnt strike me directly but I knew people who lost family and friends. I hate the 10 - 20 people that perpetrated it, not the 320 Million Indonesians who happen to be mostly Islamic. The people of Bali lost far more locals than the tourists. Indonesia is our neighbour, we worked with them to track and capture the culprits. We work with them to support our region.
I worked in the Australian Finance markets at the time of 9/11. We lost workmates in those towers. We took final messages from the dealing rooms from those trapped in those towers. We sat that morning less than 9 hours after the attack hoping that the ASX (Australian stock exchange) would close that day out of respect - no good would occur in that days trading - and we were worried about those we could not contact. We were sick to our stomachs when the ASX decided that to close would encourage further attacks. My career path nearly put me in those towers that day. I watched live as the towers came down and I fell to my knees crying. While most of my country has moved on, I carry the trauma to this very day.
What offends me is the way the workers in those towers who were from all different backgrounds, all different countries, all different religions, were targeted indiscriminately by religious zealots. Now different religious zealots are trying to claim the site and its surroundings as holy ground. Religion didnt kill those people - zealotry did.
This "mosque" debate is not about 9/11 it is about religious bigotry. Terrorists dont need to hijack jetliners if US citizens start attacking other US citizens over religion. The way the USA treats it Islamic citizens will be the proof that will either prove or disclaim the views of Islamic extremists. So while you think you fighting the good fight you should be wondering whose cause you are unwittingly advancing.
Spot on Reverend. I came across your piece while I was building a gallery of the events leading to MLK Lincoln memorial speech "I have a dream". That speech had a similar changes for Aborigines in Australia. The suburb I live in was instrumental for significant events including our own Freedom rides highlighting segregation in rural Australia. Unlike the United States we are a "tolerant" society. I never understood that underlying difference between our societies until now. People in tolerant societies never achieve mutual respect. They tolerate others as long as it does not interfere with their beliefs. The problem with a tolerant society is that there are limits to their tolerance. A society based on mutual respect should the goal of all societies. To move from tolerant societies to accepting societies. Otherwise minorities rights will always be sacrificed to a mob willing to put its principles on hold. Principles are supposed to guide you in difficult times, not to be discarded when inconvenient. Your Declaration of Independence and your Bill of rights are considered achievements in civilization and human rights. Don't let the actions of a few non representative terrorists to split your nation down religious lines. Your diversity gives you the capacity to respond and the power to be true to your founding principles. It is time, once again, to set the standard that the whole world would want to follow. Time for another great achievement.

It is not really a new idea that the professional who continually seeks to expand their knowledge and skills is more likely to succeed than their less motivated counterpart.

Statement of Chase Huntley, Director of Renewable Energy Policy for The Wilderness Society on today's mark-up in the House Natural Resources Committee
With Congress back in session, our staff and policy experts have been working full-speed with members of the presidential transition team and with members of Congress to prepare them on steps they can quickly take to right many of the environmental wrongs of the past eight years.
This sign-on letter was sent to White House Council on Environmental Quality Chair Nancy Sutley from a number of organizations. As the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) helps move the nation toward greater reliance on clean energy, these organizations seek to draw attention to continued assaults on the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) with regard to the development and siting of renewable energy facilities.
Read the letter below.
The Wilderness Society and its 200,000 members are committed to the resource management planning processes for the spectacular and irreplaceable National Monuments managed by the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM"). This position paper outlines our concerns and suggestions involving one of the most critical aspects of the planning process: the creation of a coherent and legal transportation system.

Officials waiting to search parking lot for more train derailment casualties
ELLICOTT CITY (WMAR) - A man sitting inside an Ellicott City bar at around midnight heard a rumble and felt a shake.
To say he was surprised when he took a peek outside would be an understatement.
"Just a big ole rumble -- a big rumble, big boom, and on my way out the door some kid comes in yelling, 'hey, you gotta check this out!'" Brad Arnold said.
Arnold, an employee of Phoenix Emporium, a pub across the street from the railway, said he was inside the business running credit cards when the train derailment happened.
"Come outside, and you know, I looked up the street, down the street -- didn't really notice anything until I looked up the bridge. ...That's when it all became real," Arnold said.
Witnesses to the tragic accident say coal and pieces of mangled rail cars littered the side of the tracks seemingly as far as the eye could see. Many wondered what could be underneath.
"The train was on its side, and you could see the train on its side all the way down to Main Street," said Allison DeThomas. "You walk down to Main Street, and there was just coal across the street. No one could get by, people couldn't leave. Everyone was stuck."
What could be underneath rail cars and coal is a concern for local emergency response workers..
"There is a county operated parking lot that serves the restaurants and shops on Main Street and a number of those train cars fell on top of automobiles," said Howard County executive Ken Ulman. "…Train cars with their coal fell on top of the vehicles."
Ulman said crews searched what they could, but a bulk of the search would not be completed until large cranes could be called in to pull rail cars off vehicles.
The county executive struggled to put into words the scene of what Elliott City had become.
A major train derailment in a historic area, he said, is shocking.
"When a train derails, it's usually in the middle of the woods somewhere in an isolated area.
To be in the heart of historic Main Street Ellicott City, looking at piles of coal, cars with train cars on their side, it's a tough thing to put into words," he said.

VIDEO | Watch video from crash site
Thus far, officials have confirmed two deaths related to the derailment . They say 19-year-old Elizabeth Nass and 19-year-old Rose Mayr of Ellicott City were on the bridge as the event unfolded.
"A police investigation is going on right now," Ulman said. "We don't know why."
Patrons of the Phoenix Emporium say people walking on the tracks at night is nothing odd.

The past
Originally the football club of what would become major automaker Mazda, Sanfrecce were one of the J.League's ten founding teams in 1992. Under Scottish coach Stuart Baxter, Sanfrecce won the J.League's first stage in 1994, but finished the two-stage season as runners-up. Hiroshima were demoted to the second division in 2002 and 2007, but returned to the top flight the following year both times. Hiroshima's superb youth academy is the envy of clubs across Japan, and a clutch of players groomed through its development programme were instrumental in the club's first J.League title in 2012.
The present
Under rookie manager Hajime Moriyasu, a former Hiroshima stalwart and defensive midfielder who represented Japan 35 times, Sanfrecce have adhered to an attacking style of football infused with a tenacious drive for success. Hiroshima's achievements this season have centred around prolific striker Hisato Sato, the calming experience provided by veteran midfield Morisaki twins - Koji and Kazuyuki - with national team goalkeeper Shusaku Nishikawa orchestrating the defence. A comfortable 4-1 win over Cerezo Osaka combined with second-placed Vegalta Sendai's 1-0 loss to Albirex Niigata in the J.League's penultimate round sealed Hiroshima's spot as the host nation's representative at the FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2012.
The future
Hiroshima's commitment to nurturing its own players through its youth academy began paying off from about 2000. Its products are sprinkled through the current squad, including the Morisaki twins and midfielders Yojiro Takahagi, Toshihiro Aoyama and Kohei Shimiza, defender Ryota Moriwaki and forwards Ryuichi Hirashige and Junya Osaki. The development programme has become a model for other teams and looks set to keep the club in good stead for years to come.

Qualifying statistics
Hiroshima booked their spot as Japan's team at the FIFA Club Word Cup by winning the J.League, but they were pushed hard by Sendai, whose title charge finally came unstuck in the second-to-last round. Sanfrecce's firepower up front blew away many title contenders during the season, including resounding wins over sides that have played in the FIFA Club World Cup before. A 4-1 victory over Gamba Osaka in Round 5 was followed by a 5-2 win over Kashiwa Reysol in Round 10. Hiroshima stood up to Vegalta's challenge, drawing 2-2 away to Sendai in Round 16 before grabbing a vital 2-1 win at home in Round 25. The team's ability to win crunch games laid the foundation for its first J.League crown with a game to spare.

MatlabBGL provides robust and efficient graph algorithms for Matlab using native data structures.
%% Red-Black Ordering with MatlabBGL
% In this example, we will use the MatlabBGL library to compute the
% red-black ordering of a matrix. For certain matrices, the red-black
% ordering does not exist, but if a red-black ordering exists, then this
% algorithm will find it.
% A matrix has a red-black ordering if the directed graph of the matrix
% elements is bipartite. To find a bipartite ordering of the matrix, we
% will use the MatlabBGL |bfs| command.
%% Generating a Matrix
% If you already have a matrix you want to use, you can skip this step.
% First, we generate a second order finite difference approximation to the
% Laplacian operator on a rectangular domain. This matrix does have a
% red-black ordering.
% n is the number of points used to discretize each dimension.
% N is the total number rows and columns in the matrix/graph.
n = 55;
N = n*n;
% This set of commands creates a pentadiagonal matrix.
A = delsq(numgrid('S',n+2));
% Now we visualize the matrix.
% The matrix A we just created is block tridiagonal, although this is
% (perhaps) not obvious from the plot.
% We know, analytically, that this matrix has a red black ordering given
% by the odd points and then the even points, when indexed in the current
% order.
p = [1:2:N 2:2:N];
% Usually, it's a little easier to see a red-black ordering using the
% following command.
spy(A(p,p) - diag(diag(A(p,p))));
hold on;
plot([size(A,2)/2 size(A,2)/2],[0 size(A,1)], 'k-');
plot([0 size(A,2)],[size(A,1)/2 size(A,1)/2], 'k-');
hold off;
% Now we can see that a matrix with a red-black ordering only has non-zero
% dots in the upper right and lower left boxes.
%% Finding the Red-Black ordering
% To find the red-black ordering for an arbitrary matrix (if we do not know
% it analytically) is easy using MatlabBGL.
% The key idea is to realize that a red-black ordering is equivalent with
% the partition of vertices in a bipartite graph. Once we see the problem
% in this light, we can quickly come up with an algorithm that yields a
% potential red-black ordering.
% We begin by picking an arbitrary vertex and look at how far a breadth
% first search goes at every step. To find the bipartition, we look at all
% vertices which are an even distance from the root and all the vertices
% which are an odd distance from the root. If the matrix has a red-black
% ordering or is a bipartite graph, this algorithm will find it.
% Implementing this algorithm is trivial using the MatlabBGL library.
% First, we compute a breadth first search on the graph and store the
% distance each vertex is from the root. Because we really do not care,
% we'll choose vertex 1 (row 1) of the matrix as the root vertex.
d = bfs(A,1);
% Now we find the even and odd partitions
d_even = find(mod(d,2) == 0);
d_odd = find(mod(d,2) == 1);
% Getting the actual permutation of the matrix is simple, we list the odd
% vertices and then the even vertices
p = [d_odd' d_even'];
% Computing the same plot shows we found the red-black ordering!
spy(A(p,p) - diag(diag(A(p,p))));
hold on;
plot([size(A,2)/2 size(A,2)/2],[0 size(A,1)], 'k-');
plot([0 size(A,2)],[size(A,1)/2 size(A,1)/2], 'k-');
hold off;
% and that's it! MatlabBGL and the |bfs| command made this problem simple!

The UK Broadband provides the wireless and equipment services and also solution to the service providers, telecommunication industry, channel partners and public sector in U.K. Broadband is otherwise known as ADSL which is the way to connect to internet. It offers greater speed by connecting internet through the dialup system. The users can avail availability of internet anytime with this system and need not have to connect or disconnect from the internet. This broadband service can be used at a monthly price with various plans that well suits the needs.
The UK Broadband is growing fast and there are many attractive deals offered by the broadband providers. Unlike the past where the internet users were paying internet access through dial up and connecting through the modem of 56k, today the broadband is available at 24mb with the ADSL2+ introduction. From the Virgin Media, the fiber broadband front of 50 MB broadband is available. The users can know more information about the broadband speeds, deals and select it according to their requirements by checking of websites online. The standard broadband offers 512k which faster by 10 times when compared to the dial up, but there are also many other broadband providers who offer even at much faster speed.
The UK Broadband for mobile is increasing today and it is also becoming very popular. This has made the broadband providers in the UK to come up with new plans and deals to withstand the competitors. The mobile broadband providers are mostly the mobile phone companies who have an extensive mobile network already across the country. This therefore helps the users get better coverage. The broadband for mobile is available on a fixed rate contract. When selecting the broadband providers, the users must consider certain guidelines and take the right decision. This is because every user has got different needs or requirements from using the broadband service. The deal may be different for the occasional users who may not download much and it may of course be different for the users who will download more and also uses internet often. At the same time the users who are using internet only for emails and surfing may not require high bandwidth deals. The users who are taking unlimited bandwidth deals must note that there are some UK Broadband providers who offers fair usage policy targeting those who use more amount of bandwidth.

Looming funding cuts will be big test for new RSPCA board
- From: Mercury
- June 01, 2014
A NEW board will head the RSPCA in Tasmania – but faces the challenge of looming funding cuts for its team of animal welfare inspectors.
The charity has been emerging from a period plagued by governance and financial strife. But there are fears its welfare work will be hampered by shrinking State Government funding.
New president Rod Bowerman said the RSPCA had been told to expect less.
"We have been advised (by the Department of Primary Industries) that instead of continuing to fund the society for the $600,000 ... paid this year, or indeed increasing these funds, the minister will only be making $400,000 available for the inspectorate,'' he said.
"The inspectorate is expected to cost in the vicinity of $715,000 next year to run the statewide service, cut back from around $850,000 a couple of years ago, and this means we will have to pull resources that would be used for better animal welfare outcomes to fill the hole made by the government cuts.''
Premier Will Hodgman said the matter would be under consideration in the upcoming Budget.
"The RSPCA has a very important role and it's had a very difficult couple of years, and they needed to clean their act up,'' he said.
"We're hoping and expecting that's exactly what is happening.
"We want to ensure that animal welfare is properly supported and resourced from government ... but it's incumbent on them to manage their affairs and their finances well.''
Greens animal welfare spokeswoman Cassy O'Connor said animals would suffer as a result of inspectorate cuts.
"After reversing the Labor-Green government policy requiring departments to only purchase cruelty-free eggs a month ago, and lifting the ban on 1080 a fortnight ago, the new Liberal Government is slashing $200,000 out of the RSPCA budget,'' she said.
"The Public Accounts Committee ... found the organisation realistically requires $850,000 to fully perform its inspectorate role.''
Meanwhile, Mr Bowerman, a Hobart lawyer, was elected yesterday at the annual general meeting in Launceston.
Also on the board are Jonathon Croome, Patricia Gillespie, Simon Froude and Astrid Wootton.
The plans are for the RSPCA to become a company limited by guarantee, so it would report to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

Gift of Dr. W. L. Hildburgh
Asia JA 1944.4-1.2
Rooms 92-94: Japan
Bronze mirror with a handle
From Japan
Edo period, 18th century AD
This mirror is decorated with a perfect miniature landscape. Peacocks stand beneath a flowering plum tree beside a waterfall and winding stream. To the left irises are coming into bloom. The handle has its original rattan binding.
The mirror is inscribed Fujiwara Masashige saku ('Made by Masashige of the Fujiwara family'). Makers of mirrors often had high status in Japan because the mirror, together with the sword and the jewel, formed part of the Imperial regalia.

Whitney Houston's funeral takes place tomorrow, but friends, fans and family are already choosing to pay their initial respects to the singer tonight, away from the glare of the cameras.
Preparations have been underway all day at both the Whigham Funeral Home and Newark's New Hope Baptist Church for tomorrow's noontime service as well as a wake that will be taking place today.
Hundreds of mourners, fans and, yes, media, lined the streets near both locations Friday. Also sprouting up outside the church and funeral home: makeshift, ever-growing shrines with cards, flowers, balloons, photos and handwritten prayers.
Newark police have been trying all day to keep the crowd at bay, arriving in a mobile unit barricading the block in front of the funeral home, in advance of the private viewing, which mother Cissy, daughter Bobbi Kristina and various other family members and close friends are expected to attend.
At the back of the facility, the entrances were covered with a white tent and curtains to provide added privacy. Cops even wrapped the area surrounding the funeral home in tape to prevent the crowd from overwhelming the mourners.
Due to a prior commitment, Dolly Parton will also not be in attendance, though she released a new statement in tribute to the singer:
"My heart is with Whitney and her family as they lay her to rest. I did not know Whitney nor any of her family personally; but she will always be a part of my heart and I will always be grateful for her awesome performance and success with our song 'I Will Always Love You.'
"Rest in peace, Whitney."
Following Saturday's funeral at the New Hope Baptist Church, Houston will be interred on Sunday, laid to rest alongside her father at the Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, N.J.

Posted by Don't do a pre-fixe here on 01/01/2014
We did the New Year's pre-fix and we left hungry. Portions were minuscule (the amuse bouche was literally a mandarin segment supposedly carbonated). Yes, this is supposed to be small but one segment is a joke. The cauliflower soup was in a word: blechy. My boyfriend was right when he said prisoners would riot if they were served something so blah (the serving size was 3 tbsp so we didn't suffer long). By the entree we were starved and shortly in to eating it I realized I was going to leave hungry. Dessert was the best part - maybe because we knew we were leaving? All in this was $230 dollars with just one drink each. Unbelievable. Thumbs decidedly down.
Posted by ki-lo on 12/20/2012
yes, the portions are small. but as vegans, my spouse & i left very full. the choices are exotic --- i have no qualms about the food. it is extraordinary. the prices? i understand what goes into creating these food items --- aint easy. requires time. still, overpriced. the waitstaff needs to get a life. or a boyfriend. or a new job.
Posted by Rawfoodist from NY on 07/27/2012
The atmosphere is realy nice if you are in the garden, but extrimely noisy inside with very loud music. I liked first courses , but didn't like the second courses at all , they are too nutty and dense. When I think of raw food I think of much lighter food with more interesting flavours though.
Posted by Plateful on 03/30/2012
Food quality and service is very good. Room is attractive and comfortable but it can be very noisy. Menu is indeed interesting but why does raw food have to be so expensive and why do the portions have to be so meager. If you order 3 entrees, you will have one normal portion and the same goes with the other menu items. And desert is between $15-19. My wife, who is 110 pounds, and I went home and made ourselves sandwiches after spending $125 on dinner. Absurd.
Posted by yasmine on 03/05/2012
I love, cook, and eat vegan and gluten-free food. In addition, I appreciate the value of raw vegetables and nuts. However, I was very disappointed by this restaurant. The food is REALLY over-processed and dense, and it just sat in my stomach for 24 hours afterwards. I am not clear on why all the fresh vegetables and nuts need to be put in a food processor at this place? In addition, the flavors were overwhelming due to the high density. It was difficult to eat. The atmosphere was nice (especially considering most vegan restaurants) and the service was friendly. However, the prices are outrageously high (remember: vegetables and nuts only), and the food is totally bizarre. I wanted to love this place so badly! And, unfortunately, it just did not work at all.
Posted by Jason on 11/06/2011
Food was delicious, inventive, and tasted exquisitely fresh. I was expecting portions to be incredibly small due to the other user comments, and although I do agree that the appetizers were not quite big enough to adequately share (especially for the price), the entrees were definitely agreed to be a satisfying portion for our party. The prices are indeed on the higher side of moderate, but I think they are justified for the level of freshness and ingenuity of their dishes. Recommended!

I'm not a snob. And this place is really expensive. But it's a NYC treasure. Anyone with appreciation for high level aesthetic experiences will really appreciate this place.

I have not been moping about the further heaps we have been given- just to keep us on our toes, I suppose. haha.
The roof leaked some more- well it is covered by Insurance, & will be dealt with in due course. Our policy covers the damage done in the storms, & compared to a lot of people ours is a minor. Some poor souls have had floods into their houses, & been looted into the bargain, so we have been 'fortunate'.
Friends of ours with the flooded carpets said the house is somewhat rank, in spite of the carpet having been all removed. So we do consider ourselves lucky.
Now our drainage has decided to cause us further problems, & we are not sure it it is directly related to just the neighbour privet, or the heavy rains have added to the problem.
One of my ankles has decided about now is a good time to have an arthritis flare, so hobbling downstairs to the toilet is not really a joy!
And, yesterday, my tooth decided it would be painfree for most of the day. So in the best delaying tradition, I neglected to call the dentist. Yes, I know wrists need to be slapped.
But! I was too busy looking up! I havent got time to worry about the minor irks. I am on fire with another project.
As my daughter pointed out to me, I have not made the SIL a quilt of his own. She is sick of him taking hers to snuggle into, or using Small Grandson's.
SIL is a Roosters fan. For those of you outside Oz, the Roosters are a Sydney NSW, Rugby League Team, officially known as Eastern Suburbs (I think! Not being remotely interested, I dont watch or listen, & it all washes over me).
So while going through stash looking for something else, I discovered this rooster fabric I had forgotten I had. So out it came & off I went on the quilt trail. GOM doesnt yet know who the quilt is for, so he happily went off to do the shopping yesterday- groceries, which I hate. And I got to sew on.
Then DJ came over, with Adult Granddaughter, & Small Grandson, so I had to hastily hide all the evidence of what the quilt was about. And another friend dropped by, so I had a break from the sewing for tea/coffee break.
Here is the production result of Monday. It is surprising how different things look when you photograph them.
A close up of the roosters & some chooks. Small Grandson loved all the bright colours & happily asked if I was making him another quilt. I didnt tell him who it was for, but did say it wasnt his. I always feel mean, as he loves to play with the colours & scraps & will sit happily rearranging them all- "For a quilt Nanna"

I had to laugh...I HATE rugby league...and I thought this is about as close as I will ever come to thinking about the "Roosters"..ha ha, via a quilt.
Good luck with the evil fang.

Meggie that quilt is glorious! When you mentioned rooster fabric at the start of your post I was imagining these huge red and yellow roosters and thought the quilt might look a bit UNUSUAL (!), but it's entirely different from what I imagined, and it looks fabulous. It is colourful but still not too 'pretty'. Handsome and perfect for a bloke. You are a marvel Meggie!

Meggie, I love the quilt (so bright and cheery - Lucky SIL) and I can't believe that you got all of that done in one day. Is your sewing maching smoking yet because it must have had a woman with her hair on fire operating it. Those blocks must have been flying off of the machine.
Glad to hear that you are looking up - you deserve some good luck. Take care of that tooth

Weren't there just a bunch of refurbishments done to various attractions in the park recently?

Falcons Lose First Match of Season to Fullerton 4-3
Jan. 25, 2014
The Air Force women's tennis team suffered its first loss of the 2013-14 season Saturday, falling to Cal State Fullerton 4-3 in Fullerton, Calif. The Falcons fell to 7-1 this season while CSF improved to 1-1.
The Titans jumped out to a 1-0 lead by winning the top two doubles matches. Air Force's duo of twin sisters Chloe and Lily Forlini captured the team's only win at the No. 3 spot, defeating Jessica Pepa and Rebekkah Ermac, 8-4.
The two teams split the first four singles matches off the court. Lily Forlini won the No. 5 match 6-1, 6-4 over Ermac, while junior Marcelli Magday defeated Kalika Slevcove, 7-6(4), 2-6, 6-3. CSF clinched the match with a win at the No. 3 spot as Camille De Leon captured a thrilling 7-6, 2-6, 7-5 victory over sophomore Mary Meyers. Air Force freshman Tracy Landram won the No. 6 match, 6-7(4), 6-1, 7-6(4) over Pepa.
"This was a heartbreaking loss for us," said Air Force head coach Kim Gidley. "We put forth a phenomenal effort but came up just short. To battle back and go three sets in the last three matches shows the fight in this team."
The Falcons play at Cal State Northridge on Sunday, Jan. 26 beginning at 10:30 a.m.
1. Morgan McIntosh (CSF) def. Tiffany Tran, 6-1, 6-1
2. Alexis Valenzuela (CSF) def. Natasha Rizvi, 6-1, 6-1
3. Camille De Leon (CSF) def. Mary Meyers, 7-6, 2-6, 7-5

The world megacarrier that wasn't: Qatar considered merging with Emirates before joining oneworld
Nov 09, 2012 6:53 am
Skift Take
International competitors are intimidated by Gulf airlines on their own and continue to block their traffic rights, so one can only imagine the industry's reaction to the merger that would have put airlines over the edge.
Qatar Airways CEO Akbar al Baker, speaking at the Arab Air Carriers Organization annual meeting in Algiers, said he "considered joining Emirates [Airline] to create a mega-carrier" before being invited to join the Oneworld alliance.
Al Baker said the two airlines would have been able to take advantage of "so many synergies," while operating networks that were at least partially complementary.

Eat a lot of store-bought pickles? Read on to find out how, by reusing the pickle brine, you can "clone" your favorite brand of pickles at the cost of around 75 cents a jar.
This recipe makes one jar of pickles. You'll need:
1 ''used" jar of pickles with brine reserved
1 Tbsp white distilled vinegar
1 Tbsp table or kosher salt
1 cucumber
2 cloves garlic (optional)
Step 1: Reserve your pickle juice.
Step 2: Add salt, distilled vinegar, and optional herbs/spices.
I also added some fresh chopped garlic, which is optional. You could also try adding chili peppers, onions, fresh dill, mustard seed, or maybe even brown sugar. But when cloning, don't splice too many genomes, you could end up with a monster that wheezes "kill me" every thirty seconds.
When that's done, seal the jar and shake it like a Polaroid picture. Make sure all the salt has dissolved into the brine, instead of sitting uselessly at the bottom.
Step 3: Add cucumber.
I just did this. I can't stand the suspense!
