BOOGEYTOWN, Tenn., — The latest group of firefighters to make a "Gangnam Style" video to promote fire safety have found themselves in hot water. The video, in which firefighters perform the dance routine has gone viral over the Internet and Mayor Tostepp is furious.

Mayor Tostep said the recent "Gangnam Style" parody from the South Baldwin (Pa.) Volunteer Fire Company is the standard to live up to.
She's so angry, in fact, she's formally written up the fire chief and suspended the eight firefighters who appeared in the video.
"Their dancing was atrocious," the mayor said. "I've never seen such a lack of rhythm and timing in all of my life. They are an embarrassment to the city and firefighters everywhere."
Starting immediately, all firefighters have been ordered to watch three hours of "Glee" every shift and at least two noted dance choreographers have been hired to work each shift with all firefighters.
"This is not about eight individual firefighters," the mayor said. "This is a department-wide effort to bring our level of performance up to par."
The mayor cited the recent "Gangnam Style" parody from the South Baldwin (Pa.) Volunteer Fire Company as examples of the level of professionalism she expects from dancing firefighters."Dancing on video is as much a tradition in the fire service as red trucks and spotted dogs," the mayor said. "We will turn this problem around."
A contrite Fire Chief Buckilunder apologized to the mayor and town council and vowed to make his firefighters the best dancers in the state, maybe the nation.
The chief confessed that there have been recent mutual-aid calls where firefighters from a neighboring department will throw down some dance moves on the fireground.
"Our guys couldn't meet the challenge, the chief said. "We are pretty lousy dancers.
"Clearly, we've been spending too much time on hose and rescue evolutions," Chief Buckilunder said. "Our men and women are committed to being great firefighters; we'll turn this problem around and be dancing like Madonna backup singers in short order."

Haha- your 'real face' is my favourite. You look kinda crazy, but definitely cute!ReplyDelete
I'm just learning how to take selfies!! Having an I-Phone helps since at least I can see what I'm doing. Keep trying and maybe one day you'll get a good one. :)ReplyDelete
These are so cute!!!!!!! Your "real face" is the best one!ReplyDelete
Haha this is so funny! Actually, you look great in selfies! :) But I know what you mean...I definitely look better in black and white (when I was younger, I thought that the years before the 80's were actually in black in white...I once asked my mom, "When you were little, were you in black and white?" haha, what a weird child I was).ReplyDelete
I don't take selfies often and find it weird how often some people take them- I'm also a bit envious of the fact that they seem to be comfortable with the way their face looks...

Star Light
memo the time
of way back when
he came to my momma's house
time and time again
asking me out...
we were seeing each other
for some time..
than before one night
we were to meet
a terrible thing
had happened to me
but I could not tell him
for it was more than I could bare
then came the big moment
he asked for my hand
which I had to decline
for what had happened to me
I knew he would not understand...
tho.. later in life
we ran into each other
but for some reason I not memo him
but he said we were together
back in the day.. and he still felt the same
he explained it all to me
but than I seen on TV
the Americas most wanted
than came back flashes of past..
for it was that man whom hurt me bad
and I told him all about it then
and he said I should have told him
for he still beheld love for me
than all the emotions.. feeling of love
that was hidden within me .. came out
and yes.. I memo'd all the things of him and I
than he said he really wants to be with me
but than he stated..
all has to be done
in secret...
I said to him.. but what do you mean
why??? for if you really want us to be
as you claim.. and as I do too
than why would you want our relationship
be done in secret..
he said.. cause he has a girlfriend..
I said.. well I am sorry..
for than we.. we can not be
than that was all I seen of him
but than later in life
he called me out of the blue
says all this time..
he said.. I just can't get over you
can't get you out of my mind
nor out of my heart.. I do..
he said... I really want you...
yes I have feelings for you..
more than I can say..
lets get together..
plz.. let's meet today
but must be done in secret...
I than said.. why???
what do you mean
do you still have girlfriend
for if so.. than answer is no...
he than replied.. no.. but does it matter
I than again asked.. do you?
he said .. no.. but
he than said.. all must be done in secret..
for no one to know..
that you and I be together
I said.. but you not understand
nothing is done in secret
for God knows all things...
than I told him
If he is unable to meet me
where people would see
than I realize .. he not True
he not the man.. God meant for me
for with God.. Nothing is to be in Secret...
God knows all things
no matter if you try to hide
Truth always Prevails...
Nothing is Secret
in Our Father's Eyes..
As known if man loved me so...
He would not want to hide
His True feelings inside
He would want the whole world to know
Truth in Love.. would show..

Authors help parents cope with not-so-perfect kids
Book, Web site offers parents support, personal stories
About that perfect child, the one ballyhooed on bumper stickers such as "My child was student of the month at St. John's":
Sisters Gina Gallagher and Patricia Konjoian, mothers of not-so-perfect children, counter with "My child was patient of the month at St. Elizabeth's."
Konjoian has a child with bipolar disorder and Gallagher a child with Asperger's syndrome, characterized by autisticlike behavior. The two moms celebrate all imperfect children in their new book, "Shut Up About Your Perfect Kid!" (Shut Up! LLC, 175 pages, $15.95; available at http://www.amazon.com).
"There are so many self-help books out there, and they paint such a dark picture," Gallagher says. "We wanted to offer hope to parents. It doesn't have to be the worst-case scenario. Take comfort you're not alone."
Using humor, they describe their own stressful yet ultimately rewarding learning experiences and allow others to relate personal stories about raising the imperfect child. The pair, who live in Massachusetts, also go on speaking engagements and converse with other parents from a forum on their Web site, http://www.shutupaboutyourperfectkid.com.
"We can laugh about our lives you can talk to us about this," says Konjoian.
In a society that demands perfection, being an average student, an average athlete, an average "World of Warcraft" video gamer can be judged as imperfect. Great kids can bring home bad grades. Good kids can throw a tantrum.
"I'd say to parents without a child with disabilities, 'Don't use your experiences to judge another parent,'" says Sacramento, Calif., psychologist Debra Moore. "I work with a lot of parents, and it's so discouraging for them. They work so much harder than a parent without a child with disabilities. They're on 24/7 trying to monitor and help this child."
Moore points to a culture based on appearance and parents who live through the achievements of their children as counterproductive.
"Some parents live their lives through their children. They get their own needs met by having their child achieve what they couldn't," she says.
Gallagher and Konjoian take on the most obnoxious parents of "perfect" children in their book, but mostly, "Shut Up" recounts the experiences of parents of imperfect children.
"We really don't mean to be so hard on parents who brag endlessly about their perfect children (OK, we do)," they write. "It's just hard to listen to how good their kid is on the baseball field when yours would rather catch real flies ..."
Parents of "perfect kids" are skewered with a mix of humor, truth and half-truths.
Among the zingers: "We've all seen and heard from them. They're in our cities and towns. On the soccer fields. At swimming lessons. Behind the bulletproof glass at ballet class. They're the mothers and fathers of the perfect kids. You know them the ones who drone on and on about how smart, athletic, gifted and talented their children are. Blah, blah, blah."
Gallagher and Konjoian have come up with their own versions of those bumper stickers. For instance: "My bipolar kid loves me and hates me" and "I'm spending my kid's inheritance on co-pays."
Edric Cane of Carmichael, Calif., sees nothing wrong with "My child is an honor student at ..." bumper stickers. Raising four children, he, too, could have attached one of those bumper stickers. He never did, but he can appreciate those who do proclaim a proud moment on their bumpers.
"People have the perfect right to praise their children for academic achievement," says Cane. "Encouraging them is important. It's petty and narrow-minded to criticize them. It's a misunderstanding of what people are trying to express. They're not talking to the people behind them; they're speaking to their children."

Saturday, Oct. 9 at American, Washington, D.C., 11:00 a.m.
- The Holy Cross field hockey team will be on the road for two games this week. The team travels to Smithfield, R.I. to play Bryant first, playing under the lights for the first time this season as game time is set for 7:00 p.m. The contest will be played at the Bryant Turf Complex on Wednesday, Oct. 6. The Crusaders will then play Patriot League foe American in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, Oct. 9. Game time is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. at Jacobs Field.
- On Wednesday, the Crusaders will face a 2-9 Bryant team, who most recently topped Temple 2-1 on Sunday, Oct. 3. The game serves as the Bulldogs' home opener and will be the first night game for both teams as well. The two teams faced off for the first time ever last season, as Holy Cross dropped a 1-0 decision at the Hart Turf Field in Worcester, Mass. Bryant has played five common opponents so far, including New Hampshire, Dartmouth, Harvard, Brown and Colgate. They topped Patriot League opponent Colgate, 2-1, for their first win of the season.

- Senior Kara Gonnerman (St. Louis, Mo.) broke into the points column after the weekend, as she notched her first goal of the season in the 5-1 loss against Columbia on Oct. 3. She scored the goal on a penalty stroke, marking the first time Holy Cross has had a penalty stroke opportunity. Gonnerman now has 15 goals in her careers and 35 career points. She leads the squad with 24 shots taken, including a team-high seven shots made against the Lions.
- Sophomore goalkeeper Kelly Sotsky (Wayne, N.J.) is continuing to tally solid numbers in the cage for her team as she currently ranks in a tie for second in league standings in saves and saves per game.

The United States spends more on the military than any other country. In fact, when the costs of the war in Iraq and the global "war on terror" are added to the Pentagon's annual budget, we spend nearly as much as the rest of the world combined.
Since 2001, lawmakers have appropriated $752 billion to pay for the Iraq war, the conflict in Afghanistan, and other activities associated with the global war on terror, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). And there's no end in sight: Just weeks after Sept. 11, 2001, Vice President Dick Cheney predicted that the war on terror "may never end. At least, not in our lifetime." Presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain said early this year that if the U.S. occupation of Iraq lasts 100 years, "that would be fine with me."
The administration has tried to hide these appropriations from public scrutiny by funding the Iraq and Afghanistan military operations through "emergency supplementals" rather than the normal budget process. These bills are cobbled together and sail through Congress with little oversight or opposition.
Where is this money coming from? Rather than raising taxes or slashing social spending dramatically, the White House has opted for deficit spending—essentially putting the war on our national credit card. This has long-term budgetary and economic consequences. According to the CBO, every $1 trillion in direct costs will necessitate that another $700 billion be paid in interest.
In The Three Trillion Dollar War, economists Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes look at the price that will have to be paid for the Iraq war, a price that includes interest on debt, the increased cost of oil, and the expense of providing medical care and disability benefits to the more than 70,000 soldiers injured in the conflict. They are already revising their initial $3 trillion estimate upward: In recent interviews, Stiglitz predicts long-term costs of as much as $5 trillion.
What's more, the billions being spent on the war are just the tip of an even larger iceberg: the Pentagon's annual budget. The Department of Defense has been allocated $508 billion for 2008 (on top of the Iraq and Afghanistan appropriations). And, while U.S. military forces are fighting a 21st century counterinsurgency war marked by light, mobile hardware on a wireless battlefield, the Pentagon's annual budget is stocked with Cold War-era systems.
According to a December 2007 report by former Reagan Pentagon official Lawrence Korb, programs like the DDG-100 destroyer, whose cost per ship has ballooned from $1 billion to $3.6 billion, and the F-22 Raptor—a fighter designed to counter a Soviet plane never built—could be excised from the military budget without degrading U.S. security even marginally. No one would notice, except the weapons manufacturers that have gotten rich off of these programs.
As the nation sinks into a recession, all three presidential candidates have plans to revive our limping economy, but cutting the military budget is not a major plank in any of the candidates' platforms. Until there is a concerted examination of how much U.S. taxpayer money, present and future, is locked up in war and preparation for war, economic stimulus efforts—however genuine and urgently necessary—will be partial and doomed to failure.
As people of faith, we are called to alleviate suffering and end injustice. That work must include addressing a militarism that robs the poor of one country to bomb the poor of another.
We need steps that will lead to a durable, affordable peace and stability. We need to more broadly define security beyond borders, militaries, and hardware; to use all the tools in our toolbox; to dismantle the enduring influence of the military-industrial complex; to commit to use force only as a last resort; and to recalibrate our priorities so that health care, infrastructure, and education are allocated adequate resources. This is the kind of economic stimulus package that America really needs.Frida Berrigan is a senior program associate at the New America Foundation's

Human Rights and Terrorism, Counter-Terrorism and National Security
Amnesty International insists that states must respect human rights in any actions they take in the name of national security or countering terrorism.
Where states fail to respect human rights, governments and individuals responsible must be held to account. We will also work for the rights of victims of terrorism and other violence by armed groups, supporting them in their struggle for truth, justice and reparation.
We will expose and oppose unlawful detentions carried out in the name of national security or countering terrorism.
We demand that states and individuals responsible for human rights violations committed in the name of national security or countering terrorism are held to account, to the victims, to the public and to the law.
Victims of terrorism and armed groups
The deliberate targeting of civilians for attack can never be justified and is always an abuse of human rights. We will support victims of terrorism and armed groups by working for their rights to truth, justice and reparation.

By Lindsay Toler
It's nearly midnight on a frigid December Saturday, but St. Louis City Hall is as lively as it will ever be. On the polished marble floor in front of the building's grand staircase, a dozen break dancers whirl, flip and bob to hip-hop beats that boom from a DJ's turntables. A nearly nude woman, painted like the skeletal Santa Claus from The Nightmare Before Christmas, saunters through the crowd of onlookers, who try not to stare.
The hallways are filled with artists and their work, most of which is being auctioned off to raise funds for the local nonprofit ArtDimensions. A small group has gathered in front of what by day is the office of the collector of revenue. A sign on the table says it's the temporary shop of the Graffiti Lounge, sellers of custom urban apparel and (among other specialties) body-paint experts.
Lounge proprietor Chris Sabatino and fellow artists Justin Tolentino and Bryan Walsh sip from cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon and discuss the irony of a graffiti-inspired art show at this particular venue.
"St. Louis has grown a lot, it's changed a lot," says Tolentino. "We're getting there, we're starting to gain respect because of the quality of the work so many of the young artists are producing. But it's still not to the point where street art is really relevant or respected."
The city is home to a budding street-art community and a talented group of graffiti-inspired gallery artists. But it's a precarious existence plagued by a broad range of conflicts — from recent legislation by the St. Louis Board of Aldermen that cracks down on graffiti to citizens who consider their work petty vandalism. Yet the artists persist, hoping their hometown's resistance will eventually give way to understanding and acceptance.
"St. Louis is starting to see the potential in street art. There's so much art there that's being created by a younger, hungrier generation," says Chris Burch, a local artist who is studying at the San Francisco Art Institute. "It's such an open field, and it is really starting to define itself in terms of an identity on the street. When I go back home, I see lots of interesting things going on in streets of St. Louis that I don't see even in San Francisco."
In July Walsh and Tolentino co-curated an exhibition at the Regional Arts Commission gallery. Entitled Screwed In, the show featured works by the pair and five other street-influenced artists, all with strong ties to St. Louis. The centerpiece was a massive mural, a collaboration among all seven artists. Colorful and glossy, the wood panels were covered with intricate images and faces created with brushes, airbrush and spray paint. Three sections wrapped around the main room of the gallery and stretched from floor to ceiling.
Chain-smoking Pall Malls and double-fisting cans of Schlitz at a South Grand bar, Tolentino says the mural represented a fusion of his current career as a gallery artist and his youth spent as a graffiti tagger in Fenton.
"I started writing on other people's shit when I was about fifteen," he recalls. "I was really into hip-hop, and I'd always see the freight trains coming west from the city with all the tags on them. I like graffiti because it's a lot like the blues. It comes from a deep, dark place, and it's beautiful because of its rawness."
Nine years ago Tolentino graduated from the Memphis College of Art, where his love for tagging flourished along with his gift for painting on canvas. He developed a style strongly influenced by graffiti, using loose brush strokes to render murky caricatures of faces and animals. The works are simple but striking, and often painted on an intentionally tattered canvas.
"I want it to look played or weathered," he says. "Like it was leaned against the back of a Dumpster for months. I've always had an appreciation for dilapidated buildings and things that look disheveled."
Walsh, who grew up in Collinsville, Illinois, and studied graphic design at Miami University of Ohio, professes a love for the most basic graffiti tags scrawled with thick black markers, and it shows through in his art, which consists of glossy canvases covered with colorful shapes and patterns punctuated by jarring black arrows and scribbles.
"Graffiti, abstract expressionism, graphic design: Those all play a part in how my pieces come out," he elaborates, peeling the label from a bottle of Pabst and affixing it like a sticker onto the table.
Their work at the Screwed In exhibit impressed curators at some local art institutions, including Kim Humphries, director of exhibitions and collections at Laumeier Sculpture Park in Sunset Hills.
Humphries lived in New York in the 1980s, when graffiti first appeared in art galleries. He recalls seeing subway cars bombed with colorful "Wild Style" tags from artists like Keith Haring, Fab 5 Freddy and Futura 2000 and being inspired by the work of street-art legends like Jean-Michel Basquiat, who, with the help of Andy Warhol, pioneered art's No Wave and Neo-Expressionist movements.
"That was probably the best thing I'd seen in terms of street art in a gallery in St. Louis," Humphries says of Screwed In. "As far as a finished, thought-out, museum-style exhibition or formal presentation — I thought that was the pinnacle."

2012 may be the year of the Dragon for China but it is the year of the robot chassis for me. I am trying to create a new range of robot chassis's and I'd like to know what features my robot building friends would like to see in a chassis. Obviously low cost and high quality are preferable but what else?
For example size? As far as I can see there is already a range of sizes on the market. Is there a size that's missing? I was looking at some cool wheels that were about 250mm (10 inch). Would you want a huge chassis and for what purpose?

MONTGOMERY COUNTY A 12-year-old girl told police she saw her uncle, Joseph Samuel Branstetter, shoot and kill her grandparents at their home in East Montgomery County Tuesday night.
Montgomery County Sheriff's Investigators say that 24-year-old Joseph Samuel Branstetter returned to the home where they say he shot and killed his parents. 54-year-old Randall Branstetter and his wife 58-year-old Cathy Gibbs died from gunshot wounds, according to investigators. Mr. Branstetter was found inside the home and Mrs. Gibbs was found outside in the driveway in the 16000 block of Oak Knoll.
Investigators say that a 12-year-old girl called 9-1-1 Tuesday night after watching her uncle shoot her grandparents. She told sheriff's deputies that Branstetter, after allegedly shooting her grandparents, left the house in a vehicle. Before authorities could put a description of the vehicle, Branstetter showed up at the house and turned himself in to police. Sheriff's deputies say they found the handgun they believe was used in the killing with Branstetter when he returned.
Branstetter was arrested and charged with Capital Murder. He was taken to the Montgomery County Jail and is being held on no bond.

ATHENS-----The 16th-ranked Georgia men's tennis team completed a weekend sweep in SEC action with a 4-0 victory over Ole Miss Sunday afternoon at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex.
The Bulldogs - 4-1 winners over Mississippi State Friday night - are one of only two teams undefeated in SEC play after two weekends of league matches. Georgia (7-5, 3-0 SEC) will put its 20-match home court winning streak on the line against current No. 1 Ohio State Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. The UGA women will play host to Virginia at 10 a.m.
"I thought we came out ready today," said head coach Manuel Diaz. "The doubles was really close, and I thought Ole Miss played a great doubles point as well. It came down to two tiebreakers, and I'm really proud of our No. 3 team. They continue to find a way to win and lift their game in the late stages of matches.
"In singles, we looked as focused as I have seen them this year. From top to bottom we played fantastic. It's good timing with the top-ranked team in the country coming in here on Wednesday. We hope we can get a good crowd and keep improving as a team."
Georgia began the match with a win at No. 1 doubles as 14th-ranked Hernus Pieters and Ben Wagland defeated William Kallberg and Stefan Lindmark, 8-4, while matches at Nos. 2 and 3 came down to tiebreakers. The Bulldogs clinched the point at No. 3 where Eric Diaz and Austin Smith edged Johan Backstrom and Joe Rogers, 8-7(2). The match at No. 2 was halted when the doubles point was clinched. Diaz and Smith are now 9-1 at No. 3 doubles and have won four in a row.
In singles, Pieters won his seventh straight match, 6-1, 6-1 against Vinod Gowda at No. 6, then Smith claimed his 25th victory of the season by beating Kallberg, 7-5, 6-2, at No. 2. Garrett Brasseaux followed with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Lindmark for his second clincher of the year.
Nathan Pasha, Wagland and Nick Wood also won first sets at Nos. 1, 3 and 5, respectively, and their matches were suspended when Georgia claimed its fourth point.
Ole Miss drops to 3-6 overall and 1-3 in the SEC.
The upcoming match against Ohio State will be Georgia's final non-conference contest of the regular season. The Bulldogs will be back in league action next weekend with road matches against South Carolina and Florida.

Season opener looms for DolphinsHal Habib
the palm beach post | September 03,2014AP PHOTO
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Matt Hazel runs the ball for a touchdown during the second half of an NFL preseason game against the St. Louis Rams, Thursday in Miami Gardens, Fla.DAVIE, Fla. -- This being Week 1 in the NFL, it would be absurd to refer to anything as a must-win game.
So place this one in the highly recommended you dont blow it folder.
When the 2014 NFL schedule was released, there was no need to strain ones eyes for a game to circle on the Dolphins list. The top line, Patriots at Dolphins, 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 7, was the show-stopper.
Only twice in the past 17 seasons has Miami opened against a serious contender in the AFC East. Miami lost both, falling in 2011 to New England, the eventual division champion, and in 2008 to the New York Jets.
The Dolphins recovered in 2008 to win the East, so Sunday obviously wont make or break the season ... but it should set the tone. Since 2004, no AFC East team other than those Dolphins has started 0-1 and still won the division. New England has won the East each of those seasons, each time after starting 1-0.
Weve talked to the guys throughout camp about getting off to a fast start, coach Joe Philbin said.
Opening against New England is nobodys idea of easing into the regular season, although Philbin added, I dont know that it really matters where the two Patriots-Dolphins meetings fall on the schedule.
Perhaps it matters to defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle, who knows that even though quarterback Tom Brady is 37, hes still Tom Brady.
You can look at it two ways, Coyle said.
On the plus side: Weve known this since the spring and youre always able to spend more time on your first opponent. ... I think they (Dolphins defensive players) have a better feeling now than they would have if this was Game 5 or 6 during the regular season.
On the minus side: Because there is the degree of unknown, youve got to be careful how many new things you are going to do because you are not sure exactly what you might be getting and you spend time on things that you might not see.
Of course, Brady and coach Bill Belichick also have had extra time to prepare. Compounding matters is that the Dolphins have 12 rookies, including six undrafted free agents, a new offensive line and a new system under offensive coordinator Bill Lazor.
So what if Belichick doesnt know exactly what to expect from Lazors attack? Maybe Lazor doesnt, either.
I dont think of it as adjusting anymore, Lazor said of the installation of his system. I think were here. Weve been working at it a long time. Weve put a lot of time and effort in, players and coaches. So this is who we are and its our turn now to step out and prove it.
It was pointed out to Lazor that Belichicks M.O. is to pick an opposing player and try to take him out of the game. Last year, tight end Charles Clay averaged three receptions for 21.5 yards against New England, compared to 51 yards vs. everybody else.
Ive seen the film from last year, Lazor said. We know what plans have come against us. We know whats worked against certain people. Hopefully, all of the time were spending in the meeting room, were doing the right things as far as how we plan against it. Theres no doubt about it, when certain guys are taken out by double coverage or for whatever reason, others have to step up and they understand that.
Coyle has his own tight end concerns. Tight ends gave the Dolphins heartaches early in 2013, catching touchdown passes in the first four games. Monday, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, who skipped the exhibitions coming off knee surgery, said he will play against the Dolphins. In addition, New England just traded for Tim Wright, who had 571 yards and five touchdowns receiving for Tampa Bay last season.
Coyles other headache is being without defensive end Dion Jordan and safety Reshad Jones while they serve monthlong suspensions for violating the leagues substance-abuse policy. Jimmy Wilson is expected to start in place of Jones. Coyle indicated that players such as ends Derrick Shelby and Terrence Fede and linebacker Chris McCain could pick up the slack for Jordan.
Early in the season, particularly down here, youre going to have to go into games where youre going to roll people through, Coyle said. Its hard to play 60-70 plays in the conditions that well be playing in.
The forecast calls for 87 degrees Sunday afternoon. Meaning substituting isnt highly recommended. It qualifies as a must.

Tampa, Florida -- The City of Tampa announced Wednesday it will begin replacement and improvements to the water main under the Davis Islands Bridge beginning the week of June 24.
The work will require intermittent lane closures of the northbound, outside lane of the bridge and the off-ramp to Bayshore Blvd. Motorists will be detoured to Plant Avenue during the closures.
The City will attempt to minimize the duration of the closures and impact to the traffic. The bridge will remain open at all times.
Projected project completion is Oct. 1.

Using seasonal abundance from CSAs
Right now I have eight medium-to-large zucchini in my refrigerator just waiting for me to decide their ultimate fate. Why? I joined Maple Spring Gardens CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) in Cedar Grove, this spring.
Unfamiliar with CSAs? You pay a local farmer to deliver a portion of his crops for the entire growing season (roughly 23 weeks). A whole bunch of folks pay in advance and the farmer is guaranteed a market for his produce. Prices vary from farm to farm, but my CSA cost $630 for a big box (4-6 people) and $435 for a small box (1-3 people).
Some of my office mates worked it out with the farmer to get deliveries at work each week -- quite convenient! Most other CSAs deliver to a central pickup spot where members go to pick up their box.
My local CSA was once a certified organic grower supplying local Whole Foods' stores. After considering the expense and record-keeping required to maintain organic certification, the farmer decided to sell his non-certified, but still grown by the same methods, produce direct to customers through a CSA.
In the spring, my first box contained two pints of strawberries, one pound of spinach, one head of lettuce, one bunch of kale, one bundle of asparagus, one bunch of radishes and one small bag of salad mix. The following week was similar except five zucchini appeared. The next week there were five more zucchini.
I've also gotten two beautiful cauliflower heads, the freshest broccoli I've ever had (looked like it was picked that day) and a large fennel head (from which I'll make fennel slaw). Yummmmmmm.
Opening up my CSA box I feel like a chef on the Food Network's "Chopped," where four chefs open a black box to see what ingredients hide inside and then have 20-some minutes to make something using all those ingredients. It's fun.
In the past few weeks I've created salads, roasted veggies and created a tasty summer delight -- thinly sliced radishes and a smear of sweet butter on whole grain bread with a light sprinkle of salt.
The strawberries were everything a strawberry should be, deeply red, no white core, with a big strawberry flavor. My partner, Nannette, turned those into sensational strawberry freezer jam. Lucky me!
When it came to the zucchini I was glad I had smaller squash on my box. I remember Grandmother Mauer overcooking huge, overmatured zucchini until it ended up as a stringy, mushy mess with tough seeds. Today I cook zucchini quickly so it's not mushy and the skin still looks bright green. Zucchini has a light flavor profile and plays well with other vegetables. Plus, one cup of sliced zucchini delivers a mere 19 calories.
Here's a recipe to help use up some of the seasonal abundance that might be overloading your refrigerator as it is mine. If you like chocolate, you're gonna love this quick bread. Give it a try.
Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread
1/2 cup unsweetened, unflavored applesauce
3 cups (16 ounces) grated zucchini
2 cups all-purpose, unbleached flour
6 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder (I used 3 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa and 3 tablespoons Hershey Special Dark cocoa)
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup mini-morsel chocolate chips
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Place a wire mesh strainer over a bowl sufficiently deep to keep the strainer from touching the bowl's bottom and to it add the applesauce. Set aside.
Place the oven rack in the center position and begin heating the oven to 350 degrees.
Using a vegetable oil spray with flour, lightly spray the interior bottom and sides of two 9-inch by 5-inch loaf pans. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl mix together topping ingredients. Set aside.
By the handful, over the sink, squeeze grated zucchini to remove extra liquid, place squeezed handfuls in a small bowl and set aside.
Add flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda and salt to a medium mixing bowl and whisk together until combined, about 30 seconds. Add chocolate chips to a small mixing bowl, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the flour mixture and stir and fold until coated with flour. Set aside.
Measure out 1/4-cup drained applesauce and add it, olive oil and sugars to a large mixing bowl and beat for 2 minutes. Stop the mixer, scrape down the bowl's sides and add eggs, sour cream and vanilla; mix at medium speed for 1 minute or until well combined.
If using a stand mixer, remove the bowl from the stand, add flour mixture and using a large rubber spatula stir and fold until flour mixture is blended-in. Add zucchini and stir and fold until combined and then stir and fold in chocolate chips.
Divide batter equally between the two pans; leveling the tops. Divide and sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the batter. Bake 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each loaf comes out almost clean. (It is okay if a few crumbs stick to the toothpick.) Remove the pans from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes. Turn the breads out of the pans and cool completely. Each loaf serves 8.
Nutrition values per serving: 239 calories (30 percent from fat), 7.9 g fat (2.8 g saturated fat), 40.3 g carbohydrates, 1.1 g fiber, 3.9 g protein, 44 mg cholesterol, 137 mg sodium.
Recipe notes: The grated zucchini is squeezed to remove as much moisture as possible. The chips are coated with the flour mixture to keep them from sinking to the bottom of the batter.

No i don't think so, i think u may be able to play them from usb if u have a wode.
Hi guys, I'm just looking for a bit direction as to whether it is even possible to dump GC games to my HDD via cfg-USBLoader? My system has wiikey1 1.99b and is also soft modded to 4.1.
No i don't think so, i think u may be able to play them from usb if u have a wode.
I don't know if you can dump them via CFG USB Loader but you can dump your gamecube games to your Hard Drive (NTFS or FAT) using CleanRip
So if I use CleanRip and dump it to my HDD would I be able to play it through cfg-USBLoader?
No. Gamecube games can only be loaded from DVD-R. It's not possible for Gamecube to be loaded from USB at this time. This is because when the Wii enters Gamecube mode, it shuts off SD and USB slots. Of course, There's Swiss which is a close alternative. It isn't exactly USB loading but it can allow you to load GC games from SDGecko (An adapter which goes into the Gamecube memory card slot and uses an SD Card).

Apparently hubby doesn't appreciate my choice in physical activities (Climbing Mt. Laundryest) because he went on a cleaning rampage the other night. This involved bringing large volumes of laundry to me. Whoopee. I did need to go through them though.
There I sat surrounded by tiny baby clothes. Remembering. Reminiscing. He didn't get why I was crying. Men. You know ladies. Most likely even if you have no baby clothes lying around you have some dress you wore on the first date with Mr. Right or the Sweater in which you finally realized he was Mr. Wrong. Whatever, clothes can bring this all back.
Tiny little baby clothes are sentimental to me. My mom saved clothes from when I was a baby for me to pass on to my kiddos. I have also saved clothes from Ella and now a few from Nate. I have found though that I am not as sentimental about Nate's baby boy clothes as Ella's. Girl's clothes are just cuter I guess. Maybe it is second child syndrome - you know, where you used to obsess about the pacifier hitting the floor with #1, #2 just sucks the fuzz off lol - or fill in your own second child shortcoming.
As I sifted through the tiny apparel I cried. Alex looked at me lovingly (but still like I had spontaneously sprouted a long scaly green tail) as I pressed the sweet little blue hedgehog outfit I brought you home in to my nose and inhaled. He promptly said "Umm, It doesn't smell. Its clean." Yes dear. Thank you. I realized I would probably never smell that sweet baby smell from my own children again. (Not the sour fermenting spit up smell, the post tubby sweet smell)
Notice I said PROBABLY. I don't want to say never because God has a sense of humor and I don't want to be stricken pregnant.
So I let go of a stage in my life, the 0-12 months age. So sweet. So innocent. So immobile. So completely, indescribably, simultaneously wonderful and utterly horrific.
My son will be 12 months old tomorrow. Thats 1 year old in normal adult language. One year ago today I was without you in my world Nate.
Happy Birthday Baby!

"You held out your hand, and I took it
without stopping to make sense of what I was doing.
For the first time in almost a century, I felt hope."
-Jasper Whitlock Hale, Eclipse, page 301
* * * * *
An Alijazz chronicle. If all goes well, it should extend until the end of the saga.
Set during the saga, with little excerpts here and there from their pasts.
Told from both Jasper and Alice's points of view, depending on whichever one I decide seems to fit best for each chapter.
Rated PG-13 for upcoming planned chapters; may change if my muse so requires.
Jacob goes off with the Cullens leaving Leah and Embry behind to guard La Push. While Jacob gets to experience a wonderful eternity abroad, his two closest friends deal with the heartache of ageless years, watching their packmates die in La Push.
Post-Eclipse. Bella buys a birthday gift for Edward. One-shot.
It wasn't just Bella who was hurt in New Moon.
It wasn't just Edward either.
We all know that the whole family was hurt by it, but was it only leaving Bella that hurt them?
Watch though the eyes of Edward's father as he watches his son struggle through the demons that haunt him.
Mostly CPOV
New Moon AU. Bella never made it back into the house after that fateful day in the woods. Now that she's finally escaped from that hellhole, how wills he fare. How will Alice and the rest of the Cullens fare getting the truth out of her? Will Bella ever open up? Will Edward love her again after whats been done?
"It wasn't long before I started to get anxious, so by the time I walked into the cafeteria, I immediately targeted lover-boy, sitting alone at the new table as I had predicted.
Can I talk to Bella now?? I thought toward him frantically, grinning ear to ear and almost shaking with excitement.
He looked up at me, weary. 'Keep out of it.'
Well, I wasn't going to have to wait much longer. Fine. Be stubborn. It's only a matter of time, I reminded him.
He sighed, as if to say 'Trust me, I know.'"
When change occurs in an immortal's life, it is irreversible and exciting. When you can predict these changes, it's even more intriguing. But when you can't change a future that might be fatally dangerous... then there's a problem.
Although her past is unknown, Alice Cullen's future is even brighter. Visions of a newcomer - Bella Swan - bring pain, joy, conflict, and even love to the Cullen family's reclusive, tight circle.
Told once by Bella herself, Alice's Twilight is a take on Stephenie Meyer's first YA novel - from our favorite sister psychic's point of view. Written by MissBella over at Twilighted.Net and read by many, Alice's Twilight is sure to satisfy any fan-pire's literature thirst.
This is Twilight, from Alice's point of view. It's NOT one-shot, finally. :) I decided to try something new. I've done Bella's POV, Nessie's POV ( story on the way) ... so now, why not try everybody's favorite sister psychic?
Seriously, you can look up Stephenie Meyer's Midnight Sun and see the exact dialogue. That's where I got the base... haha ;)
I do not own Twilight, but it does own me ;) Twilight and all characters featured in this story belong to Stephenie Meyer, who everyone loves and adores.
Take a look! Hope you like it.

What if Jacob and the Quileute werewolves never showed up in the meadow that day to save Bella? What if Bella became a vampire and Edward wasn't the one to do it? Bella is turned and forced out of Forks, up North to the Denali clan. New bonds are formed while old ones are nearly broken. Read as Bella adjusts to her new life, and possibly, a new mate. Special lovely thanks to M1187 for my fanstical banner :)

Playlist for story can be found at:
After a series of mistakes and heartbreaks, Edward long ago committed himself to a secluded double life - by day a Customer Service Rep at a questionable corporate organization, and by night a God of the Open Mic stage. Coworker Bella is quirky and observant, and her curiosity about Edward may eclipse his need to keep his life private.

Natalie and Nathan Cheney are twins. Or so they always thought. But there's a huge chunk of their past that's missing, that they don't remember.
From the time they were born to the time they entered kindergarten, their mind is blank. They don't know what happened then, and nobody will tell them. Their parents, Angela and Ben Cheney, show them no photographs, their oldest friends pretend not to hear them when they ask, and it feels as if that time period never existed.
Eventually, Nathan learns to accept this. But Natalie can't. Her nature is more inquisitive and she has a suspicion that there's more to her first five years than anyone's saying. But what does she discover?
Sequel to Remembered. You do not have to read that to understand this story, but it would be awesome if you would!
Emily is growing old and Sam is forever young. She wants children. She wants normalcy. She wants the 'old Sam' and more than anything, she wants to be safe.
Jake and Nessie finally tie the knot. Jake is confronted with species adversity. He is confronted by the needs of the pack. He is confronted by his fears and more than anything else, he is confronted by his new wife.
A pesky group of nomads won't leave the Olympic Peninsula alone. They love picking fights. They love small towns. They love human blood and more than anything, they love revenge.
It's 10 years after Breaking Dawn and everyone's world has been turned upside down. Will stress tear everyone apart or will a solution be found?
My name is Emily Uley and there is nothing I want more in this world than for my life to come back to me.
Why do you talk without knowing what you are talking about? Where were you when I created the earth? Tell me, since you know so much... Do you presume to tell me what I am doing? ... Like an open book, I watched you grow from conception to birth; all the stages of your life were spread out before me. The days of your life were all prepared before you'd even lived one day. Now what do you have to say for yourself? Are you going to haul me, the Mighty One, into court and press charges? Excerpted from Job and Psalms. Warning- Contains references to child abuse. Written for PTB Challenge The Life and Times of Bree Tanner
During the kiss Bella and Jacob have right before the fight with the newborns, something happens and because of an untold legend, Bella's life is changed forever. No one is prepared for just how much change will come and why.
"It was the last thing I could have ever imagined happening. It was the last thing I thought was possible. Here I had been worried about what I would turn her into; never in all my years would I have ever thought he would turn her into a monster too." ~ Edward
Camp Willowbrook is a sleepaway camp tucked away in upstate New York. During the winter, its a barren wasteland, but come summertime its the center for heat, love, friendship, and heartbreak for teenagers from all over the country.
Bella Swan doesn't really know who she is. She really doesn't think that Camp Willowbrook will help her find out either. But when she needs an escape from her constantly arguing parents, Camp Willowbrook is just going to have to be her safe haven. Upon arriving, Bella ultimately decides that she isn't going to have any fun, isn't going to make any friends, and most of all isn't going to have a stupid summer romance. Can the guy she least expected to care be the one who changes her mind?
Edward Cullen has one goal in life. To seduce every girl that crosses his path. He only has two conditions. One- they have a heartbeat. Two- they are at least attractive enough that he doesn't feel sick just looking at them. Naturally, he's cocky, rich, arrogant, and, well...he can make anyone's panties drop just by looking at them with those stunning green eyes. Edward always gets what he wants. Period. Now, he wants Bella Swan, the one girl who has ever said no. Can Bella bring out a better person in Edward? Does the person even exist? And most importantly, can Edward stay true to her?
Alice Brandon has never really found anywhere that she really fit in...until she started coming to Camp Willowbrook. Summers are her favorite time of year because of the friends that love her for who she is, not what they think that she pretends to be. The only thing missing from Alice's life is her prince charming. And that person is not Jasper- the dark, mysterious new guy with a quesitonable past. So why is he making Alice question everything that she ever thought she wanted? And why can't Alice ever seem to stay away?
Jasper Whitlock has been through a lot. And "a lot" would be the understatement of the century. Needless to say, he's just been welcomed into the Cullen family as Edward's adopted brother. Haunted by his devestating past, Jasper beleives that he is not worthy of love. That romance was simply not possible for him. But when he meets Alice, his entire world is shaken. Can Jasper love her without hurting her? Can he keep his terrifying past that has broken him from the only one that seems to be helping him heal?
Rosalie Hale has it all. Or it seems that way. She's heart-breakingly beautiful, rich, smart, and has a line out the door of boys that would do anything just to be in her presence. But despite all this, she is still empty. Rosalie's mother left when she was three years old, and her father seems to be more interested in his business relationships and multitude of bank accounts than his own daughter. Camp Willowbrook is Rosalie's only escape into the real world. But when she comes back this year, there's a surprise waiting for her. And this surprise may be her soul mate. Pressured by a boyfriend back home who is the only thing holding the family business together, Rosalie has some decisions to make. Will she stay away from her true love in hopes that her father may finally love her? Or take the road that makes her happy and leave her upper-class life behind?
Emmett McCarty's life is pretty sweet. Being the starting quaterback for Biloxi's football team pretty much puts every single person under his spell. His small-town home is his kingdom in which he is ruler. New step-sister Alice is dragging him to sleepaway-camp this summer, and for the first time, Emmett thinks he finds something permanent in a girl. But can he make the girl of his dreams fall for him? Is Emmett really as carefree as he seems? And after camp, can he make his life ever be right again?
There's only one thing that can be said. This summer is one they won't soon forget.
"Camp is a magical place. It's the one place that you can be who you are without being judged. And even if you are judged, it's hardly likely that you will care. You will find friends that last a lifetime. You will learn from mistakes. You will find your very first love. And you will have the time of your life in the process." -Esme Cullen
One-shot song-fic. Bella chose to stay with Jacob, in turn choosing to be human, and the Volturi killed her because of it. This is Edward reflecting on that.
Bella has been a vampire for decades and is remembering her father, Charlie.
Edward is nearly broken when he loses a dear friend in an accident. When he meets Bella at Forks High, not only is his heart healed, but his soul as well. However, Bella has a secret that could make or break them. AU/AH Twilight with a few twists.
***Nominated for Best AU-Human at the Sparkle Awards. Thanks to all those who nominated!***
One shot - Edward and Bella have been best friends their whole lives. But what happens when Bella is tired of being Edward's fall back and wants more?
Summery: Everyone at the Cullens' loves Christmas, but this year as Renesmee and Jake are getting ready to share their big news with everyone, the peaceful family holiday is about to be interrupted by the most unlikely guest.
Thank you to our first chapter beta Blackjacklily.
Edward once told Bella that he'd turned Tanya down in "as gentlemanly a manner as possible." That's not exactly how it went. Twenty hours before the biggest party of the century, and Emmett is dealing with Edward. Support Stacie challenge response.
The McCarty clan was known as a wild bunch in the hills of Anderson County, Tennessee. They worked hard and played hard, and were well respected in the community. What happened when the most popular of the seven McCarty boys disappeared?
Whenever I slip up, my Love is always there to comfort me. Even when I let our new family down.

Riley died at the end of Eclipse, but we never really knew how he got there. We just know that Victoria told him she loved him, and that he had cared for the newborns. This is the story of Riley as I see it: cold and independent - Victoria took him away.

Huntington Mall hosting several events in January
BARBOURSVILLE -- The Huntington Mall has a series of events coming up in January:
The mall is hosting a Career and College fair Friday, Jan. 18, as part of the "New Year, New You" show. From 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., vendors will be set up in center court offering information on starting a new career. On Saturday, Jan. 19, the mall will showcase vendors with information on finances, beauty, education, fitness and volunteering.
Also on Jan. 19, the mall will host a "New Faces of the Mall" casting call to select models for upcoming mall fashion shows. The event is being sponsored in part by JCP Portrait Studio and Bow Love Hairbows.
Each contestant will have an opportunity to work the runway for the judges, and a maximum of 21 people in three age groups will be selected to participate in future fashion shows and events at the mall. The age groups are up to 7, 8 to 12, and 13 and older. A "top model" from each age group will receive a prize package. It's an opportunity to learn runway technique and build self confidence and self esteem, according to a release from the mall.
It will be beneficial for the mall to have models of all ages because the mall has stores for people of all ages, said Margi MacDuff, marketing director for the mall.
"It's a great tool to build self esteem," she said. "My kids do it. They've been in shows before and they love it."
The registration fee for the event is a $20 donation to Team Toni, a nonprofit organization raising money to help local cancer patients. Registration goes on from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Jan. 19, but registration forms can be picked up earlier at the customer service center.
The Huntington Mall will also have its annual sidewalk sale Thursday, Jan. 17, through Monday, Jan. 21, for the new year, in which customers can save more than 75 percent at participating stores.
For more information, call 304-733-0492 or visit www.huntingtonmall.com.

Hello as you can tell by my post count, and the specs on my computer, i am very new to the whole Mac computer thing.
I recently recieved an old G3 imac computer from a friend, and i've started messing around with it and have fallen in love with the OS, which is 8.1 i believe.
So anyway my question was, do you think my mac would be able to run photoshop?
Here's the specs incase i messed up on my profile
G3 iMac
96mb ram
4 gig harddrive (3.3 available)
I dont know what any of the other specs you might need to be able to tell so just ask and I can find out.
I dont know what the current version of Photoshop is for the Mac but i'm assuming whatever the highest is would be best.
If it is not able to handle it do you know of any version that would work for it?
Thank you in advance for all your replies.
Oh, no idea...
You probably won't be able to use the latest version since I believe that requires a newer operating system...
Anyone know if he can install panther on that machine?
I think photoshop 5 might run well on it, though you need more ram, and Id suggest getting os x if you can, then you could run photoshop cs. but I think either photoshop 3 or 5 are os 8 compatible. so basically, it would run slowly at your current specs, but if you add mor ram, itd definitely run more smoothly.
Any idea on how much ram you think would be good enough, and what brand you recommend?
you will be able to run photoshop on it, i would suggest more ram also. maybe 128
i also think you can install os x on it. like 10.2 or just 10
yes, panther will run on it, I recently installed panther on the same model, the one I installed it on had 320 mb of ram, and it runs fairly well, even runs photoshop CS better than I thought it would.
My college has G3 iMacs with OS 9.2 and they run Photoshop 4 (rather poorly for larger images). If you're only going to be using photoshop to mess around with images (I.E. not serious use) then I would advise you find a less intensive program. If you really need it for work etc. then buy a new computer.
I dont know you'd have to really pry me away from my beloved photoshop. Is there any other programs you would recommend that are similar to photoshop but take less power to run?
the gimp
blah, its only for x
By the way, if you still care, Photoshop 5 is DEFINITELY OS 8.1 compatible. My mother is a video producer (weddings, graduations, etc) and has always been a Mac fan. She just recently stopped using her old not-even-G3 computer (Powermac 9600 I believe), and it ran 5.0 seamlessly. She is STILL bitter about switching to PCs for work (she did it for Video Toaster 3 and for the fact that SCSI doesn't come standard on Macs anymore). Honestly, though. getting a new computer might just be a better investment. If you're paying for Photoshop and possibly even a new operating system to run it on, you might as well be paying for a new computer. You can buy a G4 eMac on Apple.com (refurbished) for 650. That's roughly the list price of Photoshop CS anyway.
Don't you need atleast 8GB of disk space to use panther? I thought i heard that some where. Also i think that you would need alot more ram. Like atleast 256? Just guessing.
which will happen very fast with a small hd.
Well actually I already have Photoshop which is why I didnt want to have to get a new computer. I got photoshop from a friend so i only paid a hundred bucks for it.
