Soooo Love this movie!!! CAN NOT wait!!!!
Melissa B On Friday, March 16 at 9:57 am
Oh I am so there! I live VERY close to Milan, Indiana (movie based on Milan's HS team). My uncle was in the Butler U. band during filming and you can see a glimpse of his head in the movie ha ha! All your giveaways are fantastic but I hope it's another American Chopper mixer that is the "shiny" prize. That thing is fantabulous!
Emily in IL On Friday, March 16 at 10:07 am
This is my husbands favorite movie of all time for 3 reasons: 1) it's about basketball 2) it's about INDIANA basketball (which is practically it's own religion) and 3) the high school students in his home town were allowed to be extras in the game scenes. If he had been 1 year older he would have been able to be a part of the movie, but his parents wouldn't let him. So in the stands you can see some of his friends!
The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh On Friday, March 16 at 10:11 am

Sandi On Friday, March 16 at 12:07 pm
Oh good, you made this non-Hoosier feel better about having never seen it.
Casey On Friday, March 16 at 12:31 pm
Didn't they make you watch it in school?
It was actually worked into my school's curriculum!
AngAK On Friday, March 16 at 3:51 pm
this displaced Hoosier can't believe you haven't seen the movie! it's such a great movie, and it's about so much more than just basketball. please see it soon. makes me homesick whenever I watch it—lovely scenes of the farmlands and small towns.
Wendi On Friday, March 16 at 10:35 am
My husband and I can't wait! Just one thing, though…it's right in the middle of the IU Hoosiers basketball game. Good thing we have DVR!
Judy On Friday, March 16 at 10:39 am
Is such a great movie!! Will try to be here!!
Jodie On Friday, March 16 at 10:50 am
Ha…have to agree with Wendi. Indiana University HOOSIERS will be playing b-ball, but I can multi-task!
Wendi On Friday, March 16 at 11:01 am

Lacy On Friday, March 16 at 11:06 am

Cindy Klien On Friday, March 16 at 11:12 am
Being a Hooiser I absolutely Love this movie!!! Was raised in Southern Indiana!! The Hoosiers winning Sat. will be an fabulous Birthday gift for me.
Victoria On Friday, March 16 at 11:16 am
Have friends from Indiana University who just love this movie. Once met a man who was a student at the school used as "Hickory HS." He said they put up barricades during hours when they were shooting scenes and that the local kids would come and watch from behind them. He also said that the gym that was supposed to be the gym at Hickory HS was from a completely different location. He indicated that the passion for HS basketball in that era was accurate and that things like a line of cars following the teams bus, as they traveled to some other town for a game, was the way it used to be for many rural schools. Not sure why, but I just love the time period portrayed in the movie. Was born a few decades too late.
Chris On Friday, March 16 at 11:19 am
One of my favorites! I was an extra in the movie. Part of the movie was filmed in my hometown, Brownsburg IN.
Chris Turpin On Friday, March 16 at 11:21 am
We love the moviie, too. It was filmed in the town just down the road from us, and we actually have met some of the 'boys', now old and distinguished gentlemen, who played on the team. It is all near and dear to our hearts and makes us proud that we are transplanted Hoosiers….the state, not the university! We are Boilermakers! Love EVERYTHING you post……Chris Turpin
Laurie On Friday, March 16 at 11:33 am
I have never seen this movie so probably wont be doing the quiz Good luck to everybody!
Becky On Friday, March 16 at 11:43 am
Bring it!
Erica On Friday, March 16 at 11:46 am
I am also a Hoosier and have seen this movie multiple times but it's been awhile. One of my best friends from high school was the little boy playing ball at the very end. Part of this movie was also filmed in the town I went to high school in, Knightstown, IN. We had our Senior prom in this exact gym as well.
Hilary On Friday, March 16 at 11:52 am
I love this movie and I am a Hoosier too. I remember when I was in grade school and my neighbor who was in high school dress up to be an extra in the movie. I thought that was so cool. Hopefully I can answer the questions correctly, it's been a while since I have seen it but Indiana stations usually show it a lot….
mb On Friday, March 16 at 12:06 pm
Sara On Friday, March 16 at 12:17 pm
OH, it's on!!! This is one of my all-time favorite movies!
Beckylou from AR On Friday, March 16 at 12:20 pm
I love this movie, love Gene Hackman, and loved Dennis Hopper!!! Great character actors. I love how movies and books transport you to another time and place. I was saddened to hear of Dennis' passing in 2010 but thank him for his many awesome contributions to the arts.
AngieA On Friday, March 16 at 12:23 pm
Love this movie!! I live in the small town featured in the opening scenes. In fact, our post office still boast "Hickory, Indiana".
Rochelle C On Friday, March 16 at 12:31 pm
That's my dentist on the left! I kid you not!
Janet J On Friday, March 16 at 12:48 pm
YEA! I've seen this movie at least 50 times. LOVE IT and know it like the back of my slam dunk.. Go Jimmy! Can't wait.
Jenny On Friday, March 16 at 1:25 pm
Oh man, another Palmer classic. This is right up there with Rocky and Runaway Train!!
Amanda Tonagel On Friday, March 16 at 1:44 pm
Hey, that is my dentist all the way on the left! He signed a copy of Hoosiers for my husband. We are true Hoosiers and love this movie!
Amy On Friday, March 16 at 3:17 pm
He was our dentist (when we lived there) too!
Carma On Friday, March 16 at 1:45 pm
I'm a Hoosier who (unfortunately!) relocated to the Chicago 'burbs….part of "Hoosiers" was filmed in my hometown, Nineveh. My high school geography teacher makes a cameo! I wish I remembered the filming, but I was too young when they made it. Also just want to throw out a quick GO IU!!
Celia Allen On Friday, March 16 at 1:51 pm
My mother is from Plainfield Indiana where they filmed Hoosiers.
She remembers when the film crew and actors were there. And my aunt was an extra in the bleachers when they would shoot the game scenes.
I've seen it many times
Lisa D. On Friday, March 16 at 1:59 pm
I'm so excited! Having spent over half my life in Indiana, this is one of my favorite movies. The movie really shows what Indiana basketball was like when I was growing up (even though I was in high school in the '80s).
bridget On Friday, March 16 at 2:03 pm
My dad had me watch that all the time when I was growing up! What fun!
Great to meet you in Boston, Ree!
barb reed On Friday, March 16 at 2:45 pm
I love this movie for so many reasons–not the least of which is that it proves that people don't have to be naked to make us believe they are "drawn" to each other and that we dont' have to be bombarded by the ugliest of 4 letter words to be entertained. Gene Hackman is an extraordinary actor and I grieve Dennis Hopper each time I see the movie and I watch it when ever it is on or when I want to feel good in a "the way it used to be" way. I won't win anything but I will enter and I will always cherish this movie—it is about the best in all of us.
Sandra On Friday, March 16 at 2:50 pm
I grew up in the same county as Milan (the team the movie was modeled after). I can remember growing up hearing stories about that team. Even when I was in school 20 years later during basketball tourney time the gyms were packed!!
montanarose On Friday, March 16 at 3:18 pm
Oh, Ree — what fun! Now if you can only do "Major League" (the first one, of course), and "Miracle," and "Bull Durham" and "Remember The Titans," I'll be in heaven. And then "Invincible," "Mystery, Alaska" and "Tin Cup." Somebody stop me, please.
Question: has there ever been a BAD sports movie? Oh, yes . . . the abysmal "Major League" sequel.
Brenda@Coffeeteabooksandme On Friday, March 16 at 3:18 pm
Love this movie but I haven't watched it in YEARS.
Unfortunately the way they changed the state school ratings (A, AA, AAA, etc.), we no longer can have that kind of a David and Goliath upset.
lpara (Laurie) On Friday, March 16 at 3:19 pm
Believe it or not, we just saw this for the first time a couple of months ago when son was home Christmas break. Oh my word. We loved it.
Nezzy (Cow Patty Surprise) On Friday, March 16 at 3:31 pm
Woohoo, this Ozark Farm Chick is attracted to shiny objects!!!
I'm off to bone up on this fantastic movie.
From the determined hills and hollers of the glorious Missouri Ponderosa, ya'll have yourselves a blessed and beautiful weekend!!!
The weather's warm….go have fun!!!
Deb in Winfield, Ks On Friday, March 16 at 4:22 pm
Oh one of my favorite movies! I was in the same class at Southwestern College in Winfield, Ks with the BB player that played Buddy. He was from Indianna and was recruited to play ball at Southwestern. It is so cool to watch this film with him in it!! I don't think he ever 'acted' again. He just tried out for the part on a whim, they were looking for basketball players….it didn't hurt that he was/is gorgeous!!!
Deb in Winfield, Ks On Friday, March 16 at 4:38 pm
PS…in the picture above, you can just see part of his head behind Gene Hackman. He was not one of the 'main' players—but he was in lot of scenes and had several lines. He knew the flavor of gum his man was chewing when he fouled out!
Stacey On Friday, March 16 at 5:45 pm
Favorite movie of all time. I have seen it thousands of times. Used to watch it with my Dad, and my high school teacher is seen in it as an extra 3-4 times and I still think it's funny to see her even to this day. Can't wait for the quiz tomorrow!
Lynn On Friday, March 16 at 7:16 pm
Realistic movie. Parts of the movie were filmed in my hometown New Richmond, Indiana. I love watching the movie and seeing my family members as they were casted as extras. Brings out that Hoosier basketball spirit. It was a time win any team could win it all!
Amy On Friday, March 16 at 8:17 pm
I live in Milan, Indiana. The town isssss very proud of their 54 team. I haven't watched the movie in forever.
linda On Friday, March 16 at 10:37 pm
I can't count the times I've watched this movie. I never miss it if I can help it. Gene
Hackman is one of the greatest character actors ever, in my opinion. There's not
too many around nowadays with that talent. Robert Duval is another favorite.
I saw this movie TWICE in the same day when it opened. I was so caught up in
a sport I'd never been interested in before, and I know it sounds crazy, but I could
actually smell those wood floors in the school, and the excitement in the gym
knocked my socks off. Wonderful casting. I could go on and on. What a great
movie pick, Ree!
Laurie On Friday, March 16 at 11:29 pm
I LOVE this movie-I live in southern Indiana, went to high school at Tecumseh High School-back in the 70's.
Tracy On Saturday, March 17 at 1:21 am
Gonna sit this one out – not a favorite.
Paula B. On Saturday, March 17 at 7:48 pm
Yay basketball season and a classic movie, with some top talent: Gene, Dennis, and Barbara. Indiana basketball is legendary and as so many have said this movie captures the feel of a time gone by. I grew up in the shadow of sixties powerhouse Providence College so I know firsthand what a home with basketball fever is like. Always enjoyed attending my own high school games here in Rhode Island and later college games at Holy Cross, when hardly any kids ever attended at the old Worcester Arena. 'Tis the season and b-ball is a magical, all American game. Go Hoosiers!
Susan the Hoosier On Saturday, March 17 at 8:18 pm
I love this movie. It's been too long since I've watched it! I used to babysit in the house where Coach Dale "lives" in the movie. A whole bunch of my classmates were extras in the scenes at Butler, which were actually shot in Brownsburg's high school gym.
A happy sixth-generation Hoosier
Carol Geissler On Saturday, March 17 at 8:21 pm
100%………love this movie, love, love, love this movie!
Holly in Houston On Saturday, March 17 at 9:01 pm
I cannot compete. I have never seen this movie. Darn! I hope he prize is not a red or floral KitchenAid. I will just cry.
Jeri On Sunday, March 18 at 11:17 am
Pretty darn scary that I knew the answers off the top of my head! Love this movie!
Jennifer Olea On Sunday, March 18 at 7:09 pm
I only got 90% on the quiz, that's ok though. I love this movie!!! Gonna watch it again
Ellen Wilson-Pruitt On Monday, March 19 at 10:40 am
I don't know if people realize the movie is based on a true story about the Milan high school team. We Hoosiers know the dialog from this film…word for word! The writer of the screenplay is also from a big basketball town Bloomington Indiana! Only one ball shape that matters here in the heartland…round ball.

What is The Easter Bunny Foundation
Easter and springtime are special times of the year. The flowers and trees bloom, and everything begins to grow. In the spring of 1995, the Easter Bunny met Sam and Eleanor Meiner in Florida, and they visited the children in a nearby hospital. Sam and Eleanor believed that no child in the hospital should miss the fun of Easter or spring. They knew that it can be really hard to smile when you are in the hospital. So, they hopped into a convertible and drove to the nearest hospital to bring a smile to children's faces. That was how The Easter Bunny Foundation began!
The Easter Bunny Foundation has a simple mission: to provide a personal visit from the Easter Bunny, who gives each hospitalized child a new plush toy and to share the excitement and wonder that only a visit with the Easter Bunny can bring.
Now, the Easter Bunny has lots of helpers. Sheriffs, their deputies, and The Easter Bunny Foundation help the Easter Bunny make visits to hospitalized children all over the United States, Canada and as far away as The United Kingdom!
The Easter Bunny Foundation, formerly Easter Bunny, Inc., has been hip-hopping around to visit children in the hospital during the week of Easter since 1995. The foundation originated in Central Florida and has expanded to include cities and towns throughout more than half of the United States, as well as over the big blue ocean and into England.
In 2003, we joined forces with Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary in an attempt to recruit other county Sheriffs to help spread the smiles across the state of Florida. We joined forces with 9 county sheriffs in Florida that year and visited over 1,000 children. Sheriff Beary then introduced us to the National Sheriffs' Association, and with the cooperation of our new friends, 2004 was a tremendous year! In our first year of national expansion, The Easter Bunny Foundation more than doubled its participants, and our furry friend was able to visit more than 2,600 children. We were pleased to accept 15 new sheriff's offices, who visited a combined total of 37 children's hospitals or pediatric wards across the country.
It seems as though each year brought more exciting changes! As of April 2005, the Easter Bunny, with the help of 46 sheriffs in 25 states, hip-hopped to visit roughly 5,500 children in over 78 different Children's hospitals, pediatric wards, and medical facilities. The Easter Bunny distributed a new plush toy to each child visited, as well as a fun-filled coloring book and 4-pack of Crayola crayons. Each Sheriff added his or her own personal touch by distributing stickers, badges, or safety coloring books. Some even made baskets!
Also in 2005: The Easter Bunny Foundation was officially endorsed by the National Sheriffs' Association, and the program founders, Eleanor and Sam Meiner, along with their Executive Assistant to the Easter Bunny, Khira Williams, were sworn in as Honorary Deputy Sheriffs of Orange County, Florida!
2009 brought a major change to tradition in Orange County, Florida. In January, we said goodbye to our dear and faithful friend, Kevin Beary, as he retired from the Office of Orange County Sheriff, and we said hello to our new friend Sheriff Jerry Demings. We were more than excited to have him continue the relationship between The Easter Bunny Foundation and the Orange County Sheriff's Office. He attended and assisted with the distribution of our new plush bunnies, and he made the day for a quite a few youngsters in the hospital. Thanks Sheriff Demings! The National Sheriffs' Association also reiterated their endorsement of our foundation, a very special honor, and we were able to visit with over 15,000 children!
The Easter Bunny Foundation has seen a lot of changes throughout the last 18 years of hopping through hospital halls. The most challenging problem we face is generating enough contributions and corporate grants to keep us in the cheer-sharing business. As the economy has wavered, so too have the funds that we rely on to provide each Sheriff's office with the cute plush bunnies that they in turn distribute to hospitalized children in the community. We'd like to offer a sincere "THANK YOU" to all of our enduring friends and contributors. You have kept us in the business of bringing cheer and laughter to hospitalized children throughout the United States.
We truly look forward to the continued growth of The Easter Bunny Foundation, but we do still need your help… every dollar helps. So please consider The Easter Bunny Foundation when making your annual charitable contributions, and help us bring a joyous moment to a hospitalized child. Any interested civilians, Sheriffs or Hospitals who would like to help or who can help spread the word is greatly appreciated.
Thank You All and Happy Easter
Sam and Eleanor Meiner

Chico Camus vs. Dustin Kimura added to UFC 156 | UFC News
UFC officials announced today that a bantamweight bout between Chico Camus (12-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and undefeated promotional newcomer Dustin Kimura (9-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has been added to next month's UFC 156 card.
Camus recently scored a unanimous-decision victory over Dustin Pague at UFC 150 in his promotional debut. The victory marked Chico's fourth straight and the Roufusport trained fighter will be looking to make it 5 in a row when he faces Kimura in February.
Kimura is a Hawaiian-based submission specialist who turned pro just three and a half years ago. After competing for a handful of Hawaiian promotions, Kimura headed to the Philippines in November to compete at PXC 34, where he defeated Guy Delumeau via third-round knockout. That win, combined with his undefeated record, resulted in a phone call from UFC executives.
UFC 156 takes place February 2nd live from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event is headlined by a featherweight title fight between current champ Joe Aldo and former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar.

Those viewers who tuned into President Barack Obama's State of the Union address this evening noticed that the camera spent a (small) portion of tonight's broadcast focusing on a young, glamorous blonde woman identified on television only as a High School Student. Curious as to who it is?
Well, according to KRTV.com, Mikayla Nelson, 15, is a freshman at Central High School in Billings, Montana. Just over one week ago, the avid science student got the word that she had been one of only 24 students to earn an invite to sit in proximity to First Lady Michelle Obama during the annual address. She quickly accepted the invite; who wouldn't?
Interestingly enough, this isn't clean energy enthusiast Mikayla's first time hobnobbing with the Obamas. Back on October 18, Mikayla was photographed chatting with President Obama at the White House Science Fair, after which he described her as having similar qualities to "Einstein, Edison, Franklin, Tesla, and the founders of Google and Apple and Microsoft." We've got a Mikayla Nelson photo gallery and some bonus interview footage from Whitehouse.gov for you below!
Here's video of her encounter with President Obama back in October, courtesy of Whitehouse.gov.

You bought your new computer, now where can you go to learn how to use it? In addition to the classes offered in the Computer labs at the Central Ridge and Homosassa branches, the library offers a compendium of computer how to books.
Teach Yourself Visually Series
These books are wonderful for both the visual and the kinesthetic learners. They provide clear, readable visual screen shots which accurately show what the screen should look like if you are doing the exercise correctly.
These books cover operating systems, programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and other non-Microsoft programs. They also cover iPads, iPods, smartphones, and other technologies. They are excellent books for anyone who is just starting out with computers and needs simple easy to understand materials.
These books are intended for the beginning audience, but they sometimes use terms and concepts which the beginner may not know or understand.
These books do explain in a manner easier to understand the more technical O'Reilly computer books; however, in order to really get any use out of them , the reader must already know something about computers, how they work, and have a basic understanding of computer terms.
The Sams Teach Yourself Series
These books are for the person who already is comfortable using computers and other technologies. They assume a working computer vocabulary and knowledge of computer basics.
These books are a good resource when you already know how to use a program but need to figure out how to do something new. They are an effective resource for learning a newer version of a program that you already know how to use.

Every so often a story comes along that reminds us of what it's like to experience love for the first time, against the odds, when you least expect it, and with such passion that it completely changes you forever.
Bridges of Madison County by Robert James Waller, the romantic classic of the 1990's, tells the story of Robert Kincaid and Francesca Johnson. When Robert drives through the heat and dust of an Iowa summer and turns into Francesca's farm lane looking for directions, the world-class photographer and the Iowa farm wife are joined in an experience of uncommon truth and stunning beauty that will haunt them forever.
In Fireworks over Toccoa by Jeffrey Stepakoff, meet Lily Davis Woodward. Lily married Paul just before he left for war in 1942. She was seventeen. Now, three days before Paul is to return home from war, Lily has choices to make. Handsome Jake Russo, the "pyrotechnics man" is hired by the Ladies' Auxiliary to do the fireworks show for the 4th of July. Jake and Lily meet and both of them know, instinctively, that this is one of life's defining moments. Lily sees that she has to make a choice: should she stay and do her duty by being a wife to Paul and a proper Southern lady, or should she follow her heart?
Beach House Memories by Mary Alice Monroe transports you to the Isle of Palms south of Charleston, SC and Olivia "Lovie" Rutledge's beach house. Lovie's joy and passion is tracking and tending to the loggerhead sea turtles. In the summer of 1974, Dr. Russell Bennett, also involved in work with the sea turtles, comes to the Isle of Palms. Soon Lovie and Russell's working relationship turns to romance and all of Lovie's structured plans go out the window as her emotions gain control. What begins as a shared passion for the turtles changes to a love far more passionate and profound than Lovie has ever known—but one that forces her to face the most agonizing decision of her life.

don't hate
As in "don't hate me 'cuz you ain't me!"
I really need to get some sleep (since not much sleep happened over the weekend) but I did want to write a brief weekend round-up. I think it's safe to say that I had more fun than you did this weekend. What did my weekend include? Oh, I'll write you a list!
1. Singing karaoke at a boardwalk bar. This outing also included the best burger for dinner (This month's burger of the month at Bobby's Burger Palace -- you have got to try it!), frozen custard from Kohr's, a free t-shirt from Landshark Lager, and a big ol' Angry Balls. (Angry Balls = Angry Orchard cider + a shot of Fireball)
2. Going down the shore once again on Saturday for a girls' day out. This particular outing included getting carded at the tiki bar, feeling nostalgic as I walked the boardwalk we had visited so many times when I was a little girl, and dancing my ass off to an awesome shore band I had been meaning to see.
3. This second shore outing also involved being an accomplice to an infraction that got my friend banned from 7-11, twerking with a group of women wearing sunglasses and fedoras after dark, and doing some crazy dancing with more guys than I think I've ever danced with in one night!
4. Some of the crazy dancing was done with a dude who looked like he was right out of central casting for Jersey Shore. Don't believe me? Oh, there's video...

ACT eyewitness account in Sahel
Monday, February 20, 2012
Twelve million people across five West African countries teeter on the brink of famine. Drought, crop failure, inadequate recovery from previous crises, and rising food prices have propelled the governments of Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, Chad and Niger to declare states of emergency and call for international assistance.
ACT Alliance governing board member and international director of Christian Aid, Paul Valentin, recently travelled to Burkina Faso to assess the current humanitarian situation and the impact of ongoing resilience programs there.
During the wide-ranging audio interview (please click on the orange arrow above to listen), Paul talks about the factors contributing to the deepening food insecurity in the region and what actions the international community must take to address it – including how to more effectively engage the media. He concludes by describing some of the successful resilience programs he visited during his trip that have provided hope in the midst of drought and despair and offer a blueprint for a way beyond chronic food insecurity.

The Tennessee Fire Marshal's Office has begun a new program to decrease the number of fires and fire-related deaths and injuries in Tennessee.
The office has released the first in what will be a series of three monthly articles that speak to seasonal fire hazards and ways to prevent property damage, injuries and firerelated deaths.
Over the last few years in Tennessee, trends and statistics have shown a decrease in the number of fires and fire deaths from home heating equipment. This is largely due to increased fire safety awareness from local and state fire educators across the state. However, the high cost of home heating fuels and utilities has many residents searching for alternate sources of home heating, which brings the potential for the re-emergence of residential heating fires.
"For hospitals, nursing homes, shut-ins, schools and other special-needs groups, the loss of power, heat and medical equipment operation may be life-threatening," said James Bassham, Tennessee Emergency Management Agency director.
Bassham said icing conditions during cold weather could last for weeks and interfere with the return of power to homes and businesses. So to prepare for that eventuality, people should think about stocking up on water and food for an extended period and other advance planning.
"Keeping a portable generator and becoming familiar with how to hook it up and safely operate it are essential steps to survival," he said. "Making sure you have plenty of blankets and quilts or heating and cooking oil are considerations."
According to a 2009 National Fire Protection Association study, about half of all home heating fires occur in December, January and February, peaking from 6-8 p.m. Home heating equipment operating too close to combustible materials is responsible for more than 50 percent of deaths from accidental fires in the home.
Fire safety tips:
• Practice proper maintenance and use of heating equipment.
• Have qualified professionals install equipment according to local codes and manufacturer's instructions.
• Maintain heating equipment and chimneys by having them cleaned and inspected annually by a qualified professional. Screens around the front of fireplaces protect the surrounding surfaces from floating embers and burns.
• Keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet away from heating equipment.
• If using portable heating equipment, be sure to never leave them unattended or sleep with them on. Electrical portable heating equipment should be plugged directly into a receptacle, never using extension cords or power strips.
• If using fuel-fired portable heating equipment, make sure manufacturer's recommendations are followed and install a carbon monoxide detector in your home.
• Never use a range or an oven as a supplemental heating device — not only is it a safety hazard, it can be a source of potentially toxic fumes.
• Fireplaces need to be inspected and cleaned prior to seasonal operation if wood or coal-burning. Always be sure a fire is out before going to sleep and never close your damper with hot ashes in the fireplace. A closed damper will help the fire to heat up again and will force toxic carbon monoxide into the house.
• Be sure every level of your home has a working smoke alarm, and be sure to check and clean it on a monthly basis.
• Plan and practice a home escape plan with your family.

Arlington's transpo tax is safe, thanks to Va. Supreme Court
A special tax that funds transportation in Arlington will continue to be collected from commercial property owners, after the Virginia Supreme Court ruled that the taxing mechanism is not unconstitutional in a decision released this morning.
The Virginia Supreme Court upheld the Fairfax County circuit court's decision in the case of a Fairfax property owner, FFW Enterprises, against the Fairfax County government. FFW argued that the transportation tax was unconstitutional, and the circuit court ruled against the landowner.
The Nov. 4 decision [PDF], written by Justice S. Bernard Goodwyn, affirmed the lower court's ruling that the taxes — which all localities in Northern Virginia are permitted to levy under state law — are not unconstitutional.
Arlington currently charges the tax at the maximum allowable rate: 12.5 cents per $100 of assessed valuation on commercial and industrial property owners. That funding is set aside for transportation improvements, including road projects and the Columbia Pike streetcar project.
Arlington County attorneys are still reviewing the decision, according to a spokesperson.
The ruling will likely mean that business groups will take another look at the taxes, which they originally supported when they were going to apply to all sectors of property owners. As Arlington Chamber of Commerce President Phil Keating points out, the chamber was less supportive of the taxes after a court decision in 1998 stripped out a number of the tax provisions that applied to residential and other sectors.
"The concern is that the commercial side is the only one left standing paying the tax," Keating says. "It's more an issue of fairness ... if it's a project that benefits everyone, the funding should be shared by everyone."
The chamber is not advocating for the Arlington transportation tax to be repealed, he adds, but the group may look at the taxes as part of their annual discussion of a legislative package submitted to the county. The time is right, Keating says, now that the courts have disposed of the legal challenge.
"We're going to talk about it more later this month, when we do a legislative package," Keating says. "It's one of the top items on the agenda in terms of what our position on it is."

Best Frame Shop St. Louis 2004 - Artmart
2355 S. Hanley Road
Brentwood, MO 63144
Artmart is more than just a frame shop -- it's a virtual Sam's Club of art supplies and assorted craft stuff (see "Best Art Supplies"). It's also the best place in town to have your masterpiece framed, be it that Renoir you picked up in Paris last year or your four-year-old's indecipherable fingerpainting. The store has hundreds of pre- and custom-made frames and -- more important -- the experts who know how to choose and construct a frame that will complement Auguste's oil or Sophie's glop. Turnaround for custom-made frames can take a couple of weeks, but smaller works can be matted and framed while you wait. For the shutterbug, the store also carries a huge selection of photo frames.

There are some sales transactions of personal properties that will require you to use a blank bill of sale form. However, if you do not understand what it is, you can get lost along the way. A bill of sale is a legally binding document that is issued by the seller to a purchaser stating that, on a certain date, at a particular location, and for a sum of money, the seller sold a particular item or property to the buyer which he legally owned. You will find that, most bill of sale forms follow the same format similar information. However, its content may vary depending on the type of transition and the individuals involved.
Regardless of whether you are the seller or the buyer, a bill of sale form is very important to you. First, if you are looking to purchase something, the bill will act as a proof of ownership. This bill states clearly that the item has changed ownership from the seller to the buyer. Therefore, you can use it in any legal avenue where necessary. Also, the bill of sale is required if one is looking to insure the acquired property. Insurance companies will require you to produce this form before your property is covered. It would also be important for you as the seller. This is because, it has disclaim terms in case the buyer has issues with the sold item.
There are some components that you cannot miss in a bill of sale form. To begin with, you should find some basic information such as; the names of both the buyer and the seller, where the transaction was held and on which date. Also, details about the property or the item sold features prominently on the bill. Lastly, you should find names and identification details of the witnesses who oversaw the transaction. A blank bill of sale form has straight forward information, and if you pay the necessary attention, you can never get stuck.

Step 1: Materials
~Bike reflector
~LED, the brighter the better
~Battery pack with switch, or other smallish 3-3.6volt power supply
~Soldering stuff
~Drill with 3/16" bit. Use 3/16" for a 5mm LED
Step 2: Drill the Hole
Sorry the pictures are all blurry
Step 3: Insert the LED
Step 4: Soldering
Update 9/29/09:
I made this project a looonnngg time ago, so I didn't really think about adding a resistor. Now I would put a smallish value (51-100 ohms) resistor in series just to be safe, but you could probably skip one and be fine.
yeah i used 5 mm 6 led on ma reflector..its just awesome...

Welcome! Start Here
If you're checking my stories out for the first time, the bulk of what's on this site is my novel "Safe as Houses," a quirky, character-driven vampire story. The Table of Contents lists all the chapters in their proper order. Or you can just plunge in with the first story in the series, Safe as Houses. You can also click here for a quick synopsis of the story so far. Or if you want something really touching and don't mind spoilers, read my favorite episode. Here's another favorite episode, exciting and action packed with a crazy surprise twist at the end (followed up on in an amusing way here.)
If you prefer to hear a story rather than read it, you can subscribe to my podcast on ITunes. The podcast is about two volumes behind the written version. (If you'd like to check it out before subscribing, all the episodes are listed here and the first episode is here.
When you finish a chapter, you'll see a line of buttons that you can use to share that chapter on Facebook, Twitter and several other places. So if you like what you read, let other people read it too! Also, please consider voting for "Safe as Houses" at TopWebFiction.com. And here's a link to the glowing 4.5-star review of my story on webfictionguide.com.
There's also The Sky is Made of Stone, a hard science fiction short story with an idea I don't think I've seen anywhere else. When Mac hears that an asteroid is approaching his world, he goes out to catch it with his bare hands. I'm pretty sure I got all the math and science right, but feel free to pick any holes you find.
New Stuff
This is the final chapter of Volume IV of Safe as Houses, a goodbye to the main characters for now. I'm taking a break from vampires for a while to publish other fiction. But I will return to this story with the final volume in a few months.
Podcast: Safe as Houses Podcast 45 is the last episode of the podcast for now. If you're enjoying it and would like it to continue, please leave a comment letting me know! You can also subscribe to the podcast on ITunes at https://itunes.apple.com/us/
Our lives have mature content. So do my stories. They're not erotica but sex, violence and strong language shows up if truly part of the story. You might read 20 pages without a single f-word or naked buttock, then find yourself in a firestorm of passion.
Other Writings
I also publish articles from time to time on various topics. Here's a list of all the current stuff.

Qos Parameter Analysis on Centralized Mode & Dense Mode Multicasting Protocols in a Network
Date Added: May 2012
Format: PDF
There are three fundamental types of IPv4 addresses: unicast, broadcast, and multicast. A unicast address is designed to transmit a packet to a single destination. A broadcast address is used to send a datagram to an entire sub network. A multicast address is designed to enable the delivery of datagram to a set of hosts that have been configured as members of a multicast group in various scattered sub networks. Multicasting is not connection oriented. A multicast datagram is delivered to destination group members with the same "Best-effort" reliability as a standard unicast IP datagram.

(D. W. Stracener)
A number of interesting radioactive beams, such as 17F, 33Cl, and 56Ni, can be efficiently ionized using negative-ion sources coupled to an ISOL production target. In each of the cases listed, an isobaric contaminant dominates, resulting in low-purity radioactive beams delivered to the experiment if no purification technique is available. In a previous HRIBF Newsletter we reported on one technique developed to purify a 56Ni beam contaminated with 56Co (see also Liu, Beene, Havener, and Liang, Appl. Phys. Lett. 87, 113504 (2005)). This technique utilizes selective nonresonant laser photodetachment to neutralize and substantially suppress the isobaric contamination. A laser beam having the appropriate photon energy and overlapping the ion beam can be used to selectively neutralize the contaminant if the electron affinity of the contaminant is lower than the electron affinity of the desired radioactive ions. In order to increase the laser-ion interaction time, and thus improve the photodetachment efficiency, the laser-ion beam overlap is made inside a gas-filled RFQ where the ion residence time can be a few milliseconds.
This technique is being developed using negative-ion beams of stable isotopes at the Ion Source Test Facility I (ISTF-1). The main focus of this off-line facility in recent years has been the development of negative-ion sources for RIB production. In the Ni/Co system, the Co contaminant in the negative-ion beam was reduced by a factor of 1000 while only 22% of the Ni ions were neutralized. This will result in an improvement in the 56Ni beam purity from less than 10% to about 99%.
The usefulness of this technique was recently demonstrated for suppressing oxygen contamination in fluorine beams and sulfur contamination in chlorine beams. The electron affinities for negative ions of these elements are: F (3.41 eV), O (1.43 eV), Cl (3.62 eV) and S (2.08 eV). The tests were made using a laser beam with a photon energy of 2.35 eV (523 nm) interacting with negative-ion beams of stable isotopes for each element. Initial results show that 95% of the negative oxygen ions and 99% of the negative sulfur ions were neutralized, while no photodetachment of fluorine and chlorine ions was observed. The negative-ion transmission through the gas-filled RFQ ranged from 27% up to 52%. Further tests will be needed to determine the optimum laser power, laser beam size, and laser-ion beam interaction time, and to improve the ion beam transmission.

NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (AP) Officials say one person is in custody following the sighting of an armed man who prompted a lock down at Central Connecticut State University.
New Britain Mayor Timothy O'Brien says the suspect is in the custody of campus police.
Sightings of a man armed with a sword and possibly a gun on Monday morning set off a school-wide lock down and warnings for students to stay away from windows.
A university spokeswoman says all students have been safely evacuated from a residential building where police were searching for the possible gunman. Spokeswoman Janice Palmer said Monday that the students who had been inside James Hall were moved to another building for questioning by police.
Classes were canceled for the rest of the day. Palmer said the order to stay inside remains in place.

If Maroon 5's Songs About Jane or even sophomore success It Won't Be Soon Before Long was pop gold, then Overexposed is Maroon 5's solid copper statue here in 2012.
With Overexposed, the group's fourth studio release, there was a different styling sensed off the bat. After the smash success of the dance-pop drug "Moves Like Jagger," the band turned harder, faster and curiously more feisty.
Maroon 5's first single this time around was different in its own way, though: like "Moves Like Jagger," the song wasn't about the frustrating hardships of a constantly high-low relationship. Unlike "This Love" and "Misery", "Payphone" was like all the rest on the charts. Hollywood producers have a habit of placing big names like Christina Aguilera and Wiz Khalifa into top 40 plugs as a means of attracting people of all types. Maroon 5 fell victim to this trend for the first time, and consequently sacrificed intellectual inspiration and devout honesty in the meantime.
[button size="small" link="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=3l3VyfoEQeE&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Falbum%252Foverexposed%252Fid536292140%253Fuo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30″ target="blank"] Buy on iTunes [/button]
Noting strict business, the charmer played all the right moves for the lead single's exhausted efforts. The Wiz Khalifa featurette was worth a genuine "WTF," but the song was as catchy and fresh to hold off M5 fans until Overexposed's June 26 release. Its glittery melody lit up the airwaves instantly and contained such infectious energy to surge it to the top of the charts in no time.
One way of explaining Overexposed and its conceptual shallowness is to remind fans that you can only have so many expertly manufactured hooks before the scheme is unforgivable. Each song takes advantage of singer Adam Levine's falsetto and the band's snappy guitar chirps and finds a way of making them sound as appealing as possible. The result ends up being ridiculously savory but also transparently unsupported.
In the band's 10-year recording history, every song on their album had a purpose and a place regardless of chart appeal. Crooners like "Sweetest Goodbye" and "Never Gonna Leave This Bed" never garnered unprecedented attention but remained brilliantly stimulating regardless. Though some songs on Overexposed ("Daylight" and "Wipe Your Eyes," admirably, for example) are similar to these wonderful sheltered hits, none match their wondrously romantic quality.
This album is about a broken heart. There are lines like "she got me, she got me, she got me" and "his feeling keeps growing/ these rivers keep flowing/ How can I have answers when you drive me in questions." So why does the entire collection of feelings feel so generic and unmemorable?
"One More Night" might be the album's smartest moment. It leads with the drum beats that eventually carry every song on the album to a finish, along with spooky vocal riffs and "oooh" sounds and charging spats of lyrics that set a fiery tone for what might come further on. Later, "The Man Who Never Lied" takes the album's lyrical pinnacle with a smart smoothness before the listener is able to realize it repeats nearly three more times after the second verse.
It's almost as if Levine and the boys had their mind on their money when they put together this album. It has pop strength but none of the alt-rock execution that made them so masterful to begin with. Don't ever dumb yourself down like Maroon 5 did. It's not cute on anybody.

Islamic Finance
Islamic Finance or Shari'ah compliant financing (SCF) is one of the fastest growing segments of the global financial system. Global Sukuk (Islamic trust certificates, similar to conventional bonds) outstanding is estimated at USD107 billion and is expected to grow at an annual rate in excess of 20% over the next few years. Asian countries, and in particular Malaysia and Indonesia, are seeing rapid growth in SCF, complementing the growth seen in the Middle East. It is estimated that by 2012, global SCF assets will reach about USD1.6 trillion.
ADB has 14 member countries that have a majority Muslim population as well as other members with a sizeable Muslim population, namely India, PRC, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Thailand. ADB's Developing Member Countries (DMCs) represent approximately 80% of the world's Muslim population. A number of these DMCs have developed relatively sophisticated Shari'ah compliant financial services industries which complement their conventional financial services sectors.
Promoting Shari'ah compliant financing
ADB is well placed to play a catalytic role in the development of SCF in the region. ADB can assist in the development of best practice for prudential standards and corporate governance rules for central banks and securities regulators, to enable them to properly and fairly regulate Islamic financial institutions (IIFIs). ADB can also play a catalytic role in helping to meet the emerging demand for SCF from the private sector that is becoming evident in certain DMCs. ADB's participation in SCF will assist the development of the SCF industry during its formative early stages in DMCs, ensuring that SCF is being undertaken using best international standards.
ADB continues to play a significant role in the development of SCF in Asia. This has included:
Supporting the development of international best practice in prudential standards and corporate governance for IIFIs, by assisting through technical assistance (TA) and cooperation, standards setting organizations such as Islamic Financial Services Board, and through knowledge dissemination activities e.g. workshops and conferences.
Advising and assisting DMCs, through TAs and loans, capital markets development for Islamic financial institutions including development of appropriate supervisory and regulatory laws and frameworks.
Promoting the use of SCF through cofinancing opportunities with IIFIs such as the Islamic Development Bank, and developing and participating in innovative financing structures such as the Islamic Infrastructure Fund and the International Islamic Liquidity Management Corporation.
Providing credit enhancement in SCF non-sovereign transactions.

Wildfire-migration dynamics: Lessons from Colorado's Fourmile Canyon Fire
Nawrotzki, Raphael J.; Brenkert-Smith, Hannah; Hunter, Lori M.; Champ, Patricia A. 2013. Wildfire-migration dynamics: Lessons from Colorado's Fourmile Canyon Fire. Society and Natural Resources. doi: 10.1080/08941920.2013.842275.
The number of people living in wildfire-prone wildland-urban interface (WUI) communities is on the rise. However, no prior study has investigated wildfire-induced residential relocation from WUI areas after a major fire event. To provide insight into the association between sociodemographic and sociopsychological characteristics and wildfire-related intention to move, we use data from a survey of WUI residents in Boulder and Larimer counties, Colorado. The data were collected 2 months after the devastating Fourmile Canyon fire destroyed 169 homes and burned more than 6,000 acres of public and private land. Although this study is working with a small migrant sample, logistic regression models demonstrate that survey respondents intending to move in relation to wildfire incidence do not differ sociodemographically from their nonmigrant counterparts. They do, however, show significantly higher levels of risk perception. Investigating destination choices shows a preference for short-distance moves.

Read Poems by
Joel Lee
The many nights were a gift away
The many moments to have gone along
Of time beyond that of words to say
Of my forgotten time to once belong
If I am to remember...
What will be my choice of words?
Perhaps a choice won't be better
For my time isn't meant to be heard
One more night, if I shall see
Will the swivel of time string me once more?
A beholden time unusually free
Or perhaps it only hides in a past meant to recall
All but pales into hiding places
Casting but shadows for a fortunate glimpse
There is light where the dark chases
Almost like a gift to only be made for dreams
Beyond that of words I am to say
I have a forgotten time I'm chasing along
The many nights were my gift away
Of the many moments I once belong

text: This is an incredible value for the money, as Canon's 24-70mm L lens goes for well over 2-3 times the price. Most reviews state it's pretty good compared to the L, but is not quite as sharp when you shoot wide open. They both produce results, which would be difficult to differentiate, but the AF is not as good as the L lens and it may be more prone to lens flare. But produces comparable results for half the price.
