Curt Sheller Publications was created by Curt Sheller (me) in 1995 and has been on the web since. I have over 40 years of playing experience and I have been involved in private music education for the past 20 years.
With my re-introduction to the ukulele after a 20 year break and taking advantage of my jazz guitar skills, I began pursuing the potential of the ukulele. Researching the field I saw very little material organized at a level that works for intermediate to advanced players. I have developed an international reputation as a ukulele expert having written over 30 books on the subject of ukulele and over 10 books on guitar.

Okey, I know that Apache + PHP runs best out of linux, but since my skills in linux is quite limited I wish to get as much out of Win2k instead.
As stated in the subject, this is my setup:
- Apache 2 (C:\www\Apache2\)
- PHP 4 (C:\www\php\) (CGI since Apache complains trying the module)
- Windows 2000 Pro
I've set up an account for Apache to run as a service with which I've limited filesystem access to as much as I can, but still I'm not happy. As far as I've come is that PHP can list all folder contents down its path, that means that it can list:
I wish that there were a way to limit PHP-scripts access on the system by only changing in php.ini. I've tried with the different path-settings such as basedir and userdir (I don't remember the exact names), but I end up with "No input file specified." while browsing the different php-pages.
If You'd like to help me out on this one, then I'd be really greatful for it!
(I'm sorry if my english isn't the best, I'm from Sweden.)

As the public awaits the verdict in "House of Horrors" abortionist Kermit Gosnell's murder trial, pro-life leaders say that the "post abortion" killings of babies born alive may not be all that unusual in the abortion industry. Gosnell is charged with the murders of four babies born alive at his Philadelphia clinic, and investigators speculate hundreds of babies may have been killed in similar manner by him or co-workers, having their spinal cords snipped with a surgical scissors after being delivered alive. Abortion industry observers say the mindset of death and disregard for babies that permeated Gosnell's Women's Medical Society has been on display at other clinics around the nation.
In 2008, Operation Rescue reported that a nurse working with George Tiller associate Shelley Sella, a circuit-riding late-term abortionist, allegedly witnessed Sella stab to death a baby born alive during a late-term abortion at Tiller's Women's Health Care Services abortion clinic in Wichita, Kansas. The nurse, identified as Tina David, a Tiller employee, "gave us a very specific eye-witness account about the incident," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "We were told that the baby was 35 weeks gestation at the time of the abortion. The baby came out and was moving. Sella looked up at Ms. David, then picked up a utensil and stabbed the baby in the left ribcage, twisting the utensil until the baby quit moving. At 35 weeks, there is no doubt about viability. This is murder in anybody's book."
In March 2008, Students for Life in America released an undercover video in which Tiller, who was himself murdered in 2009, can be seen and heard saying that if a baby is born alive during an abortion, "it's just sloppy technique. It is just technique that is reprehensible. The guy that did that ought to have his head beat up."

ASPCA Guardian Hotline: 800-628-0028
Please use this number to update your credit card or bank information, to change your payment type, change your monthly pledge amount, verify check receipt, update your address information, or for any other ASPCA Guardian member-related matters. Please have your member ID number handy for fastest service.
Everyone has a special reason for adopting a four-legged family member. And we want you to share yours. To submit your furry critter rescue story, please email your story, your name, and a photograph of your critter to: [email protected].
Submitted by ASPCA Member: Isabella
We got Lucy when she was around two years old. She is a Pit Bull mixed with Lab. She was shy of men because she was abused and mistreated. We didn't know if we could keep her because she tried to chase the cats and dig big holes in our backyard, but now she is around seven years old, and is doing great. She is very happy with her new life.
Just want to make life as a Guardian a little bit easier, so we've put together some of the more commonly asked questions! Of course, if you have a question not covered here, please feel free to contact: (800) 628-0028. Please be sure to have your membership ID number handy for fastest service.
Q: How can I make changes to my account, e.g., change amount, change my credit card number?
A: It's so easy! Please just call (800) 628-0028. If we receive your change prior to the month's processing deadline we can make the change effective for that month. If not, it'll take effect the next month.
Q: I currently send you a check every month. How do I go about having automatic deductions from my checking account?
A: Just fill out the EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) section on the back of your ASPCA Guardian statement and return it with your pledge. Be sure to check off the change of payment type box on the front of your statement too before sending in back in the envelope provided.
Q: I'm a check writer and my statement shows two open months — the current and the last. I never miss a month and therefore find this very upsetting. What is happening?
A: The current one is always open due to it being the reminder. If your previous check was deposited after the 21st, then it missed the statement printing deadline and will appear on the next statement. It really just boils down to timing and is not a reflection of your commitment, or our bookkeeping.
Q: Can I stop whenever I want?
A: Of course! Just call (800) 628-0028. Your cancellation will take place the same month, or the following month, depending on when we receive your call.
Q: I've been an ASPCA Guardian for several months, but have not received any letters verifying my donations for tax purposes. Will I be receiving one?
A: Yes, ASPCA Guardians receive one statement reflecting the prior year's total contributions. (Please note that this statement will not contain donations made to our regular or other restricted funds.) This statement is usually mailed in February.
Q: I love being an ASPCA Guardian, but I want my money to go to a specific fund. How do I go about that?
A: Unfortunately, we cannot allocate your money to another restricted fund. Part of being an ASPCA Guardian is that you are helping the ASPCA in all its many programs and efforts.
Q: I signed up to be a credit card ASPCA Guardian, but I'm still receiving a monthly statement and no charges have appeared on my credit card. What's up?
A: ASPCA Guardian transactions take place but once per month. Therefore, depending on when your request was received/processed, it can take up to a month and a half for you to see a charge appear on your card and for the statements to stop. If it's been longer than that, please bring it to our attention so we can look into the situation for you.
Q: I'm an ASPCA Guardian, but I am receiving renewal notices. Aren't I considered a member?
A: You may have a duplicate record on our database or you may have joined the ASPCA Guardian program after the renewal mailing was prepared. If you receive more than one renewal notice please call us at (800) 628-0028 and we will look into this for you.

MASSENA Twenty-eight Massena High School students used boating, mountain climbing, high ropes and campfire sessions to get to know one another better.
The students spent three days together at SUNY Cortlands Camp Huntington Outdoor Education Center in Raquette Lake as part of the schools Learn to Lead program, which links juniors and seniors with freshmen and sophomores who might be facing challenges either personally or academically.
We do a bunch of activities team building and trust activities to break down the barriers. It provides extra support. Its intensive, ninth-grade guidance counselor Erin Covell said.
She said the Learn to Lead program was started by physical education teacher Mary Arcadi with the support of the special education staff in 2007 as a way to mentor special education students. But now its focus is on underclassmen who might be having issues at school or on a personal level.
We found its more beneficial to students who are not connected to school, Ms. Covell said, noting mentors learn what its like to have a different perspective about school. Everybody learns something.
This years effort was in jeopardy, however, because the program had been cut in the budget.
Interim Superintendent William W. Crist put it back in for us, guidance counselor Robert Jordan said.
Linking up students was made easier because of the implementation of the Link Crew program at the high school. Link Crew students are juniors and seniors who have volunteered to act as mentors for freshmen at the beginning of the year. Each Link Crew team has approximately 10 to 12 freshmen students who are in contact with each other throughout the year to help ease the transition to high school.
Link Crew is a big help, Mr. Jordan said. For at-risk students, we have to find leaders who fit that personality.
The three-day camping trips activities included breakfast, lunch, dinner, high ropes, homework and time at a campfire. The final day included breakfast, cabin cleanup, a boat trip over the lake and a hike up a mountain.
Its a natural progression. It builds up to the end hiking up the mountain, Mr. Jordan said.
Every event has a purpose, he said, whether its participating in a high-ropes exercise to build trust or sitting around a campfire and sharing stories to build a relationship between the students.
The campfire was the best part, said senior Josh Blair, one of the mentors.
Thats when we got to see people open up and express themselves, said junior Emily Wilmshurst, another mentor.
Students feel comfortable telling their story. They see the leaders in front of them opening up and they also open up, Mr. Jordan said.
Teamwork is emphasized during meals, and theres also time for students to get together for homework, with mentors providing tutoring.
Meals are family-style, Mr. Jordan said, and students can be responsible for tasks such as setting the tables or cleaning.
Theres a certain amount of pride involved in the whole meal, he said.
The students and staff who participated in the three-day excursion said it provided a valuable experience to all.
It brought a bunch of teenagers together who had never interacted with each other and made them a united family, said senior Nikki Zeitzmann, who moved from Georgia to Massena and is in her first year at Massena High School.
Because of the experience, Ms. Zeitzmann said, shes considering a change in careers.
This trip has really benefited me. It showed me the path I want to go in life. I feel able to help people in a positive way, she said. It really impacted my life.
Mr. Jordan said the Learn to Lead and Link Crew programs can help teachers.
Teachers have less time that theyre able to connect with students. Theres less faculty and less connections, he said. Link Crew is timely for us, to be able to bring relationships among peers.

Buzz: LB Jamaal Westerman Turning Heads?
Look out for former Rutgers star DE/LB Jamaal Westerman, might be one of the summer surprises for the Jets. Westerman faced some tough challenges that set him back at the end of his senior season, a torn bicep slowed forced him to miss his bowl game and scouting circuit. Westerman was a player that the Bears and Texans were very interested as well, but the Jets won out, due to their detmination and Westerman's affinity for Rex Ryan, according to Hutch.
"I thought this would be the best place," Westerman said in between practices Saturday on the second day of the Jets' three-day rookie minicamp in Florham Park. "I like what coach Ryan is doing. I like the defense."
It appears to be a match made in football heaven. After playing with his hand on the turf at Rutgers, Westerman is now a stand-up linebacker in the Jets' 3-4 scheme and looks like a natural.
"He definitely has a chance," Ryan said. "He's a guy that we really went after."
In fact, in his first four practices at his new position, Westerman has been more impressive and instinctive than 2008 first-round pick Vernon Gholston, who made a similar switch last season. The 6-3, 260-pounder looks at ease dropping back in pass coverage and, of course, he can get after the quarterback.
"A lot of times when you have a defensive lineman transition to a linebacker spot, it's difficult and the biggest part of it a lot of times is the mental part," Ryan said. "You start talking coverages and that's totally foreign to a lot of those guys. But with (Westerman), he has picked it up better than any of the other linebackers.
"I'm like, 'Hey, this guy is pretty sharp.' And obviously, he has some physical traits we really like. He loves to play, a passionate guy, was well-coached, a physical player. I think when the pads come on he's actually going to raise his level."
Although the starting lineup for linebackers is seems set, Westerman will have to compete for spots with the likes of Kenwin Cummings, Marques Murrell and Jason Trusnik for a special teams / backup linebacking spot. Ryan does seem to like what he's doing so far, so see how he does as the offseason continues.

By COLLIN MCRANNSun Advocate writer
On July 15 Carbon County commissioners waived fees for use of the county events center, for both the Business Expansion and Retention (BEAR) market expo and the Children's Justice Center Halloween mascarade ball. It was decided that because the events are indented to benefit the county, that the waiver of fees would be acceptable in both cases, although there were some questions from commissioners.
Commissioner Mike Milovich, who made the motion to waive the CJC fees, wanted to know why the event could not be held in it's traditional location, the Elks club lodge.
"I'll waive your fee, but maybe you should try it there (the Elks) one more year. That's a big hall (the events center)." said Mikovich, addressing CJC director Shelly Wright.
In the past the event has been held at the Elks lodge in Price, however because of consistent growth from year to year, the lodge has struggled to accommodate and while it does not charge huge fees for use of it's facilities, it does charge one.
When asked how much the Elks charge, Wright said that with the catering and rental, the total cost added up to around $3,500 while the mascarade has a total revenue of around $8,000.
"The Elks have been really great with us, but as we grow, we need more space to take in more money," Wright told the commissioners.
While the fees were waived for the mascarade, the catering company will be required to pay for use of the county hall since they are making a profit.
Other fees that were waived at the events center as before mentioned, were BEAR's fees, because of its potential benefit to small businesses in the county.
"I almost feel that this is a county project," said commissioner John Jones.
As BEAR's name implies, it is intended to expand the economy of Carbon's County's small businesses through varies types of promotion. And the project at the events center, which will provide around 70 spaces for businesses and nonprofit entities will provide means for small businesses to further their reach.
"We wanted to make this look decent and look official," said director of Carbon County Economic Development Delynn Fielding during the meeting.
Overall the fees waived, individually total to around $2,000 a piece, although the CJC event might still be held at the Elk's lodge.
The county fair grounds ,which house the events center also came under some scrutiny because as reported by Dave Levanger and Ben Clement from county planning and zoning, the fair grounds can be confusing to navigate.
"For the most part people can get to the fair grounds, but they wonder a bit," said Levanger.
Currently the solution is to add more signs to the area , although it is unclear as how many, or what type. And because the center has no formal name, the commission is entertaining various ideas on a title.
"We need to do a survey of what we need (in terms of of signs) up there." said Milovich. "And why don't we let the people name it? We could hold a contest or something, it would be better than us trying to come up with something."
The item was tabled for further discussion pending more information.
Other information that came before the commission included various road construction projects and information about road construction studies that need to be conducted.
"I've been working for almost a year on the SR-10 from the US-6 intersection," said Commissioner Bill Krompel. " UDOT will pay us $20,000 to conduct a study for access off SR-10."
However, as the county attorney pointed out, the money will only be reimbursed once the county comes to UDOT's requirements which generated some controversy among the commission.
"Why do we need to be the lead agency on this?" asked Milovich, who indicated that there have already been previous studies done on SR-10 and not much has come of them. Commissioners were weary of spending the $20,000 because in addition to UDOT's conditions the county has not had positive dealings with the agency in the past as they have been billed years late of previous cooperation projects.
"We need to talk to them about timeliness," said Krompel. The issue will be an item for further discussion.
Finally the county will be working with Price city to improve the intersection with fairgrounds road and Westwood.
The intersection which most drivers, the county and Price city consider awkward is potentially going to be changed to a more fitting design.
"I would like a split intersection," said Krompel, "30 percent or so of the road is on county with the rest in Price city."
While no action was taken, both the county and Price city are working on obtaining funding and hope they can work something out.

TAMPA, Florida -- No one saw it coming, a massive waterspout hit downtown Tampa, twisting its way across Harbour Island, ripping away roof panels at the hotel, before moving inland and continuing the assault.
At the Towers of Channelside, residents were jolted out of sleep. "What scared me was the sound of the furniture being slammed up against the windows. [I was] worried that it would break the glass and it would all come in on me," said tower resident Ryan Luthor.
Luthor lives on the 20th floor and watched as his balcony furniture was slammed into a corner.
"Thunderstorms and rain, that's not unusual, but this was much too intense to stand out here. I had to go back in, afraid I would be blown off my balcony," said Luthor.
Windows shattered, railings ripped away, and awnings were torn clean off. Furniture from a dozen units were hurled off the balconies to the ground. Trees snapped, powerlines were severed, and street signs buckled under the sheer force of straightline winds.
"It was incredible. All I saw was the lounger from my balcony spinning around in the air then hurled off into somewhere. It landed in the pool on the other side of the building," said another resident.
As the storm line moved through, violent winds forced students back inside HCC as debris started to fly.
People all over the metro said they've never seen such violent weather come and go as quickly as it did today.
"There was no warning, it was on top of us within seconds," said one downtown worker.
"I've lived here 10 years and I've never seen wind that strong before."

After travelling during winter times, we spent time at home in Alsace so we had time to enjoy riding in our place. "Les Vosges" forest has a large number of good trails where you can organize lots of good riding session with friends.
Finally it is what we like!
That's why Jérôme would like to show you a special DH in the 1st part of the video: the riders with him are Richard DELAUNAY, Emile PRESSAGER and Eliott LAPOTRE. Originally for Alsace, they built the DH themselves and give to the rider a nice place to go fast and with fun.
The 2nd part of the video is filmed next to Jey's place in Guebwiller. His brother Pierre CLEMENTZ joined him for the shootage and you can see which kind of trails Jérôme is riding during his free time and his training.
After a good riding, we used to have a good drink and go eating in a "ferme auberge" (restaurant which takes place in the mountain and which serves only their local productions) : for us that's a real good day of mountain biking!
The team is happy to introduce to you the 4th episode of 12 MONTHS 12 STORIES named "Friends and brotherhood":

Presented by:Arnold Chin, M.D., Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Department of Urology Member, JCCC Tumor Immunology and GU Oncology Program Areas Broad Stem Cell Research Center
Dr. Arnold Chin's research focuses on understanding how the immune system recognizes tumors in order to harness these pathways to develop novel immune-based therapeutics towards bladder and prostate cancer. Current research involves understanding the mechanisms of TLRs in anti-tumor activity and developing agonists of these receptors for use in clinical trials. Chin's laboratory is also examining a Listeria monocytogenes-based vector that can selectively express tumor antigens for use in tumor vaccines. Initially developed in a prostate cancer model, they are adapting its use in a bladder cancer model.

Dr Manoogian was my physician for many, many years. He cares, he has a great sense of humor, and he will work with you to try other methods of treatment such as nutrition, exercise, etc not just medication.

I found Dr. Manoogian very biased against Armour which I've been on for a long time. He gave me the typical rant that it's unreliable, blah, blah, blah. Told me to take Syncrap and Cytomel instead and cut my dose drastically. I got SO sick. I only went to him because he is on my insurance plan. Never again. I'm going back to my original doctor who treats the patient and not just lab results. Back on Armour and feeling great again.

I have had only one appointment with Dr Manoogian but he did something that I was suprised to find, and it was a positive. I have been taking Armour Thyroid for a few years now and doing very well on it. Knowing that their are two camps or mindsets out there, synthetic thyroid vs. Natural Tyroid, I expected him to play hardball and NOT renew my script for Armour (the first two docs I called upon moving to Pasadena refused to see me as a "Armour" patient). Dr Manoogian was smart enough to know that regardless of which camp they are in, a patient doing well on a given thyroid drug should stay on it. He was a tiny bit reluctant, which was simply him sharing his belief on the matter, then proceeded to renew my thyroid script. For those of you out there on Armour, you know it rocks and can be hard to find docs that support it. Turns out I went on to choose one of his partners to be my primary care doc (Internal Medicine Dr Grigorian) and she has been fantastic! Happy patient!

Non-linear animation
When the BlackBerry® Composer interpolates a property between two key frames, by default, it calculates the property change for each frame to produce an even change across the frames. This is most evident when you animate position. When selected, animated objects display a green line that represents the path of the object. On the green line, square indicators (the reference points) display where the object will be drawn in each frame. When an object is first animated, these reference points are evenly spaced.
You can change the way the BlackBerry Composer interpolates object properties between key frames. Use the tweening editor to change both the spacing between reference points and the path that the reference points follow to create non-linear animation.
Tweening enables you to simulate real-world motion effects, for example, the curved paths, acceleration, and deceleration characteristics of a bouncing ball. You can also use the tweening editor with other properties. For example, the tweening editor can change color slowly at first and then speed up.

Roadrunner & Artist News
Theory Ink with Roadrunner
Posted on February 12, 2008What can be said, officially part of the Roadrunner family. In fact, as the ink still dries on the desk of Joan (Director Of Licensing), Theory Of A Deadman is indeed officially the newest band on the label. Gentlemen, welcome aboard. Thirst for knowledge? Just as fresh as the ink on the papers on Joan's desk, the band's bio has been posted - in the BIO section (but, of course). Onward and Upward. Currently, we are readying plans to shoot a video for their single "Nothing Could Come Between Us." In fact, video treatments are currently being eyed. Early word is that the video will feature scantily clad women & cars (the basis for every truly great video made)..."might have a truck in it, too. It should be cool," adds Marketing Matt. Video shoot is expected to take place in a couple weeks. Ahhh, and one last bit of Theory news for you - live shows. The band is currently in the midst of playing a string of shows up in Canada, eh. On a side note, Theory will also be playing at this year's annual music industry convention, the Conclave. On July 26th, they will be playing the Quest in Minneapolis. Did You Know? Def fuckin' Leppard will also be playing this event. True, indeed.
The album has been tentatively set for release on September 16th

(1) the amounts of premiums actually accrued under the policy from its date of issue to the end of the policy year;
An excess of the total of paragraph (1) of this section over the sum of paragraphs (2) and (3) of this section shall be held by the company issuing the policy as a special contingency reserve to be used by the company only for charges under the policy. The reserve shall bear interest at a rate determined in advance of each policy year by the company and approved by the Office as being consistent with the rates generally used by the company for similar funds held under other group life insurance policies.

When a policy is discontinued, any balance remaining in the special contingency reserve after all charges have been made shall be deposited in the Treasury to the credit of the Fund.

What's So Hot About...
Is Foursquare For You?
Free stuff.
Appointed as mayor.
All this and more can be yours when you join Foursquare. You've probably heard a lot about Foursquare over the past year. It's the newest social media kid on the block and is quickly making a lot of new friends. Launched in March 2009, it already has more than 4,000,000 users worldwide.
Very impressive. So what's Foursquare about? How does it work? And how do I get free stuff? And, oh yeah, what's up with the mayor thing?
How It Works
Foursquare is a mobile app program that allows users to connect with friends and let each other know where they are in realtime. Users are awarded points and, sometimes, badges when they "check in" at a venue, which could be a bar, restaurant, museum, park or any other place. Users can also post their check ins on Facebook and Twitter – another way of letting friends know where they are.
Points and Mayoralty
The more points you earn for every check in at a certain venue over a 60-day period can earn you the title of "Mayor" of that particular location. Mayors are often rewarded for their support with free stuff – coffees, appetizers, a discount on the bill and sometimes free hotel stays. It's good to be the Mayor. But take note: Your title can be taken away by someone who's checked in more than you.
The awarding of badges is a more complicated thing. Foursquare recently changed the procedure for earning and benefitting from them, and it looks like they'll regularly change how this feature works. Right now, badges can be earned by checking into a certain venue or event that's been tagged – although the tag is intentionally hidden, so how would you know you could earn that badge by going there? Foursquare says they do give hints where badges can be found, but otherwise are very cagey about the awarding of badges.
For the latest information on Foursquare, we recommend you check out the Foursquare site.

Arctic Hare
Grooms face and scratches ear.
Pit-pattering footsteps; vocalizations (on-click)
Definately not to be taken for granted; with tunneling ability hits hard and avoids an attack; with dodge, avoids another two, and triple strike in between causes constant damage, whittling away opposition hp. All this and critters are immune to stun and snare effects. Always able to take down Darkmoon Tonk, after Nexus Whelp took out the Eye, and would give the cheating monkey a good slap before Robobear finished him. So don't take that bunny for granted!
Rare H/B Arctic Hare appeared as an extra in a fight with a Dragonbone Hatchling. 65.2, 52.7, Dragonblight. Server - Draenor EU, 15.00CET. After over one hour of farming Dragonblight Hatchlings, this one was the first additional rare pet that appeared. Best breed of these to get are the S/S breed however. They are in the top 20 list of Best Battle Pets for the Speed Category. :)
Just got my 2nd rare bunny in coldaara within 10 minutes of pet battles...
I got mine in the Borean Tundra. You can find them randomly throughtout the zone. They normally battle with the Tundra Penguin and the borean marmot. Pretty easy pet to get :)
It's a white bunny.
No more or less exciting than any other bunny.
That is to say, it's a relatively boring pet in average hands - though a skilled player can make a rabbit horrifically annoying to play against.
Found a rare at the bottom of the stairs from the Hall of Lightning
I've been flying around Storm Peaks on two separate occasions now, seen Arctic Hares below, landed to battle and they phase out right in front of my face. Anybody else had this problem?
Found my rare and a Rare Strand Crawler as adds on Dragonbone Hatchlings just SW of Wyrmrest Temple.
Can this guy be found in the storm peaks? Not sure about that info.
These can be somewhat difficult to find because they are pretty spread out across multiple zones. However, they can spawn as an additional pet in battles as well. For instance, while fighting Dragonbone Hatchlings I was able to capture 3 Rare Arctic Hares. Also, Dragonbone hatchlings are great for leveling pets! ...just my 2 cents :)
Found mine in Borean Tundra just North of the village Unu'pe.
Found in winterspring

April showers may have been a couple months late, but today at nearly 80 degrees and sunny is the stereotypical first day of summer day.
Rain was sparse until this month and the temperature shifted from lion to lamb over the course of the spring months, making the mercury swell to heights the north country has never seen.
On April 21, you tied the record for low temperatures at 22 degrees, said Buffalo National Weather Service meteorologist David R. Thomas said of Jefferson County temperatures. Then May closed out with an 88 degree reading. It was the warmest temperature ever in May in Watertown.
In St. Lawrence County, Massena saw a range of temperatures and below-average rainfall, according to Burlington National Weather Service meteorologist Paul A. Sisson.
In March, the average temperature was 29.9 degrees, 1.8 degrees above normal. The average temperature in April was 42.8, 1.5 degrees below normal. May was 2.2 degrees above average at 57.7 degrees.
Total precipitation from March to May was 6.05 inches. June brought another 5.6 inches of rain to the county.
For June, it is currently the fifth wettest June on record behind the record of 6.27 inches in June of 1993, said Mr. Sisson in an email.
Watertown had a fairly average spring. Marchs average was 32.3 degrees, about 1.7 above average. April was only 0.1 degree below average at 43.8 degrees. Mays temperature shot up more than 20 degrees, hitting a 68.1 degree average 3.5 degrees above normal.
It was the seventh warmest May on record in Watertown, said Mr. Thomas.
Jefferson County received 6.32 inches of rain until June, he said. In the past few weeks, 5 inches of rain has fallen. The average is 2.85 inches for the entire month.
We had a good amount of rainy days to start the month off with, said Mr. Thomas.
He predicts the summer will be just like most the north country tends to have.
Theres no clear indication in the jet stream to indicate a much warmer or cooler summer, he said. The precipitation will be pretty typical with pop-up showers and thunderstorms.

Most folks go "Sim sports on the Wii?" and shrug, but Go Nintendo's constituency is, well, Nintendo consumers and they take this seriously. They hounded EA Sports for an explanation and didn't get one. Go Nintendo was told by an EA Sports rep that FIFA 13 has "the same great gameplay" as FIFA 12 and the studio porting it over "felt it was important to continue to offer fans the opportunity to play an authentic football experience on Wii."
It's a cynical, passive admission they recycled last year's game under a new banner. It also harms the larger cause of sports video games, a segment EA Sports dominates, when a label this visible recycles a product this important. Sports video games across all publishers confront a unique insult—that they're nothing more than updates of uniforms and rosters. That slur is angering to any who care about sports video games, whether they make one or play one.
So, I don't care if the Wii's AAA-title life support is certain to be shut off once the Wii U arrives in November, and all we'll see is shovelware until Nintendo files the console's official death certificate. FIFA 13 on the Wii is a basically dishonest product—it's just FIFA 12 cloaked in new menus, sold as a new release. Not only does it harm both brands—major brands, too—it damages the overall legitimacy of annual sports video game releases, regardless of label. It would have been more of a favor to those who love sports video games if EA Sports had simply chosen not to release FIFA 13 on the Wii.
EA dodges accusations of FIFA 12/13 Wii being the same game [Go Nintendo]

Losing some weight is a goal for many people regardless of age.
While youngsters and young adults might be able to get away with a few extra pounds without suffering any significant consequences, older adults carrying some extra weight might be putting their overall health at considerable risk.
Shedding weight after the age of 50 is not always easy. As a person ages, muscle mass tends to dwindle while body fat has a tendency to increase. Since fat burns fewer calories than muscle, weight gain as a person ages is bound to happen. But that doesn't mean such weight gain is inevitable. In fact, men and women willing to make certain changes with regard to diet and exercise can shed pounds after 50 while preventing future weight gain.
The nasty word: Diet
Men and women need fewer calories as they age. For example, men and women in their 40s may need as many as 200 calories more per day than they will when they reach their 50s. Counting calories might seem difficult, so men and women in their 50s and older who don't think they can count calories can try to eat more low-calorie foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
Consuming fewer calories often requires changing dietary habits, not only with regard to what you're eating but also how you're eating and even how you shop for food. Men and women used to dining out for lunch every day can start bringing their own lunches so they can gain greater control of their daily caloric intake. For those who find they're frequently too exhausted to cook each night, they can prepare meals in advance to have healthy, homemade meals waiting instead of always ordering takeout or delivery. When shopping for food, people should avoid doing so on an empty stomach so they're less inclined to buy unhealthy snacks.
It's hard to do: Exercise
Exercise is another essential component to shedding pounds after 50, though men and women over 50 should always consult a physician before they begin a new exercise regimen. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention points out that regular exercise can help older men and women prevent the onset of a host of ailments, including heart disease and diabetes. In addition, the CDC notes that regular physical activity as one ages helps muscles grow stronger, which increases the chances that an individual will be able to perform necessary daily activities without the assistance of others. Maintaining that independence into older adulthood is a goal for many men and women, and it's a goal that's far more realistic for men and women who exercise than it is for those who don't.
When coupled with a healthy, low-calorie diet, routine exercise can help men and women over 50 shed extra weight and keep the weight off once it's gone. According to the CDC, older adults need at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, such as brisk walking, every week and muscle-strengthening activities on 2 more days a week. These muscle-strengthening activities should work all the major muscle groups, including the legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms. Muscle-strengthening activities include lifting weights, working out with resistance bands, exercise such as push-ups and sit-ups that use body weight for resistance, and yoga. Even gardening that involves digging and shoveling can be considered a muscle-strengthening activity.
Weight gain is often an expected side effect of aging. But men and women don't have to gain weight as they get older. Some simple dietary changes and a commitment to routine exercise is all it takes to shed weight after 50 and keep that weight off once it's gone.
Senior food pyramid guidelines
Fruit. Focus on whole fruits rather than juices for more fiber and vitamins and aim for around 1 ½ to 2 servings each day. Break the apple and banana rut and go for color-rich pickings like berries or melons.
Veggies. Color is your credo in this category. Choose antioxidant-rich dark, leafy greens, such as kale, spinach, and broccoli as well as orange and yellow vegetables, such as carrots, squash, and yams. Try for 2 to 2 ½ cups of veggies every day.
Calcium. Maintaining bone health as you age depends on adequate calcium intake to prevent osteoporosis and bone fractures. Seniors need 1,200 mg of calcium a day through servings of milk, yogurt, or cheese. Non-dairy sources include tofu, broccoli, almonds, and kale.
Grains. Be smart with your carbs and choose whole grains over processed white flour for more nutrients and more fiber. If you're not sure, look for pasta, breads, and cereals that list "whole" in the ingredient list. Seniors need 6-7 ounces of grains each day (one ounce is about 1 slice of bread).
Protein. Seniors need about 0.5 grams per pound of bodyweight. Simply divide your bodyweight in half to know how many grams you need. A 130-pound woman will need around 65 grams of protein a day. A serving of tuna, for example, has about 40 grams of protein. Vary your sources with more fish, beans, peas, nuts, eggs, milk, cheese, and seeds.

Man in Jail for Biting Mom's Hand After She Tells Him He Has Bad BreathThursday, April 16th, 2009
April 14: A Florida man, Charles Grimes, and his mom were arguing about money and other issues on Sunday when the mother covers her nose with her hand. The son had been drinking beer most of the day, according to reports. He was offended by this comment so he bit her knuckle on her right forefinger. Grimes, age 41, was charged with domestic battery and is currently in jail without bail.

After leaving the Lawson Peabody School for Young Girls in Boston - under dire circumstances, of course - Jacky boards a whaling ship bound for London, where she hopes to find her beloved Jaimy.
But things don't go as planned, and she is off on a wild misadventure at sea. She thwarts the lecherous advances of a crazy captain, rallies the sailors to her side, and ultimately gains command of a ship in His Majesty's Royal Navy. But Jacky's adventures don't end there....
Soon she is being called a pirate, and there's a price on her head!
©2008 Listen & Live Audio, Inc.; (P)2008 Listen & Live Audio, Inc.
"Jackie (And Series) Spectacular!"
Love the entire series but I'm going to take this book to note just how wonderful a narrator Miss Kellgren is. Her energy, dynamic voice acting, and wonderful singing voice pull you into the story. You won't want to put this 'Book' down!
"Best book in the series (so far!)"
I absolutely LOVE this series, and especially this third book. I have to admit I got a bit annoyed with Jacky when she was landlocked in the second book, but in Under the Jolly Roger, she is back at sea, and the story is the most exciting one yet (and I think the best in the series, having now listened to all of them up to Book 7, The Rapture of the Deep). There were parts that had me cheering out loud and clapping, or covering my mouth in horror as I listened to this on my commute and around the house. Kellgren continues to dazzle with her narration -she one of the best narrators out there, and in fact is definitely more of an actress than a reader. Each book is a real performance, and it's like I'm watching a movie in my head while she reads. It's amazing how well she even does the male characters - I forget that I'm listening to one female doing all the parts - it feels like a full cast.
I had no problem waiting a month for my new credits between the first and second book, and the second and third book, but when Under the Jolly Roger reached it's breathtaking conclusion, there was no possible way I could wait, and ended up buying the fourth book sans credits, and it was well worth it, as I've now listened to the third and fourth books twice each.
Don't hesitate to buy this audiobook - it is Jacky Faber at her most resourceful and brilliant, and the entire cast of characters is fantastic - from the loyal Werewolves, to the wonderful and trusty Higgins (I wish I had my own Higgins!!), to the gaspingly evil villain Captain Scroggs. The final scenes of the book are easily the most beautiful and dramatic of the entire series thus far. This book is not to be missed.
"Simply marvelous - very entertaining!"
As soon as we finish listening to one, we get the next. A great favorite at my house. The ***ONLY*** reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because at times when the action gets exciting, the narration gets a bit overwrought and a wee bit screechy for my taste, but it's rather a small flaw in otherwise top-notch narration. Hooray for Jacky Faber!
"This whole series was made for audio"
While in no danger of winning any pultizers, this whole series of audio books is a pleasure, and the performance is wonderful.
"I can't stop listening!!"
I had ignored this series despite my love of Historical and particularly Nautical Fiction (I count Dewey Lambdin and Dan Parkinson two of my favorite authors) due to the fact that it was considered a young adult title. Boy was I wrong for ignoring it. this series grabs you by the ears and makes you want to continue listening to the adventures of this plucky waif who makes the most of any situation. This is one series where I literally could not stop listening. A lot has been said about Katherine Kellgren's reading on this series and she deserves every bit of praise she has received, she breathed life into all of the characters until you couldn't help but feel you were listening directly to their voices and feeling their emotions. This is one series that I will not be deleting off my computer, as I know I will want to listen to it again someday.
"Fun and clever story"
Totally clever, fun story. I would recommend reading the "Bloody Jack" series in order but it's not necessary.
I am in the position to listen to many books and narrator Katherine Kellgren is the best of the best .
"Couldn't stop listening!"
Katherine, of course, is amazing to listen to! I thought the last book dragged a bit and questioned whether or not to get this one and I am so glad I did! Very exciting!!! I could barely stop listening!!!!
"A Series that Just Gets Better"
L. A. Meyer does it again with this excellent adventure series. Katherine Kellgren is wonderful in her reading of it. She brings each character to life. This is one book that keeps everyone on the edge of their seat waiting to see what is going to happen next.
"Excellent Narration and a great story"
I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book, although despite my rating of 5 stars it could have been a little better. The beginning is a little slow and there are a couple coincidences which seemed a little far fetched. The part which takes place aboard the Wolverene ( the major part of the book) is absolutely fantastic. This and the excellent climax at the end make this a 5 star book. I had some concerns about the parts aboard the Emerald, where the book seemed to take a turn. It didn't make much sense that nobody fires back, for that would have caused a real moral problem, wouldn't it? The low point is when Jackie gets a politically correct sermon about racial slurs. While I agree wholeheartedly that racial slurs are bad, it was out of place and if the author wanted to make this point it should have been done through plot and not a speech.
That said, I will give this book 5 stars because the complaints are really quite minor and I enjoyed this as much or more than any book I have every listened to.
I recommend this book for any age but I caution that if this book were a movie there is a disturbing and important scene which would push the boundaries of a PG13 rating.
"omg can't wait for my credits to post!!!!"
So I finished this in less than a week. At first I didn't think I was going to like it, for some reason I didn't like the way it was heading after book 2. But again I was so into the whole story line within the first 2 chapters.
But here I sit for another 17 more days before I can have more. I have now ran out of credits and don't want to listen to anything eles I have in my library and I have a few that I still need to listen too, I will have to make do.
The narrater is so good. I feel it when she gets all crazy my heart rate goes up. I love how these are so full of passion and umf in the voice, and I just love these books. My husband thinks I am crazy I go around pretending to be proper lady; eyes hooded, chin up, teeth apart, lips together and of course with the accent to lol. He laughs at me, he is not even sure what I am doing but its all fun to me.
"Maybe the best audio performance I have heard"
I don't want to specifically focus on Jolly Roger, but the whole series starting with Bloody Jack, (which I had to get from ITunes unfortunately). I believe this series is not just for one targeted demographic but simply pure entertainment. The characters are so well drawn and the situations go from realistic to madcap to extremely disturbing. Not many authors now in the mainstream take such leaps.
Obviously Jacky Faber is a fantastic creation never better or more humorous than in The Curse of the Blue Tattoo, but great value in all the books. She is sympathetic but not simple.
Yes The incorrigible Children of Ashton place, she is the best performer I have found by a country mile.
Jacky rescuing Judy from a horrible situation I suppose, the whole episode shone a light on the kind of goings on at that usually overly-romanticized time.
Only to say that I find it odd audible only has book 3 and the odd book after, surely book 1 would be the place to begin!
"Great entertainmemt for the whole family"
Bought this for a long car journey with the whole family, We didnt want to get out at the other end.
Fast pace great adventres, very funny would highly recomend.
"Jolly Jack"
What can I say. I love all these books. Jackie makes me laugh, cry and want to shake her.
Though I must say the adventures of our Jackie and her love for her James Fletcher, are bad for the nerves.
Highly recommended series of books. I will recommend them to my grandchildren when they are old enough to read them. They will make a brilliant change from the usual sex/swearing/killing novels that are packing the bookshop shelves.

|Two Yards Short
|Written by Steve Frank
|Saturday, 12 December 2009 15:23
Missoula, Montana; The Apps fell two yards short of a trip to Chattanooga, falling to Montana 24-17.
The Mountaineers recovered from a first-drive Montana touchdown to take the lead before halftime, 10-7. The game was tied at 17 when Montana took the lead on a touchdown pass with 91 seconds to go, but the Mountaineers stormed back to the 2 yard line with 6 seconds to go, and failed on two successive pass plays--the last with one second to play. More on the game from Sports Director Mike Kelly.

Monday Apple CEO Steve Jobs surprised no one in the tech world when he introduced the latest iPhone .
Jobs made the announcement before a crowd of more than 5,000 reporters and bloggers, and he had a little trouble. "Well Jeez....I don't like this," he said. "We are going to switch backups." WIFI in the building was the cause.
The iPhone 4 is a quarter inch thinner, it has a second camera with a flash and its battery lasts longer than previous versions.
It has a glass front and back which Apple says gives the device better optical quality and makes it scratch proof.
But even that wasn't a surprise after a tech website leaked pictures of the phone earlier this year, after a model was left in a bar by an Apple worker.
Jobs announced more than 100 new features for the phone including the ability to make and edit home movies and and you can now not only talk, text, and email, but also video chat.
One surprise out of Monday's conference, Jobs did not announce a new phone service provider for the iPhone 4.
Verizon users were hoping they too could get their hands on the new phone without switching to AT&T. They'll have to keep on waiting.
