Anyone else have a Droid X yet? I ordered one a few days ago and Verizon said it'd ship no later than 7/27, so I've found this thread helpful while I'm waiting for it to arrive. I'm upgrading from an old Blackberry Curve, so it should be quite the step up.
From the title of this thread, I thought you were looking for alternates to "Preparation H".

I am a retired educator with over 25 years experience in secondary, college, and adult education.
I have a masters of science degree with certifications in sciences, mathematics, special education, family and adult education.
I was the Biology Teacher of the Year (Wyoming), did an International Teaching Fellowship (Victoria, Australia), received a Krista McAuliff Fellowship and was awarded the Service to Education Award (Utah).
I have also served as a board member in the Utah Science Teacher Association.
I have had a number of different experiences in my life including being a coal miner in the Wilberg mine, a beekeeper, a professional scouter, a photographer, a small business owner inwholesale and retail sales and a horticultural consultant. I have als served as a retail representative, and a seminary teacher.
I was an Eagle Scout, and belong to the American Philatelic Association, a member of the NRA and an Associate of Foundation for Economic Education (FEE).
I have been a state delegate to Republican conventions and a precinct chairman.
My core beliefs are centered around strengthening families, promoting quality education, and limited government with the goal of reducing taxes and promoting free enterprise.
I strongly support developing our abundant resources to limit our dependence on foreign oil.
Drill here, drill now anddevelop the alternatives.

I am a native Utahn, born in Logan. Earned a bachelor's degree at Utah State University, a masters in educational administration at the University of Utah, and secured three certifications in special education from Brigham Young University.Â
I taught elementary school for 22 years, worked as an education employee advocate at the Utah Education Association (UEA) for 10 years, and also served as a legislative lobbyist for UEA. Â
I am currently on the Board of Trustees for the College of Eastern Utah, and I'm employed as principal at Pinnacle Canyon Academy.
Highway 6 is one of the most dangerous roads in the United States. Significant progress has been made, and a continued fight for financing in the legislature is essential. With your vote, one objective as your legislator is to press for continued safety modifications on this stretch of road to mitigate the hazards we all face in traveling this highway.Â
Education is paramount in the minds of not only those who have children in the public schools, but also a concern for businesses, the retired segment of our communities, and legislators. In Utah, funding for public schools ranks last in the nation; that creates a problem in attracting and retaining the best teachers. I support efforts to increase funding to public schools and to provide the best educational opportunity for our students.
Legislative support for projects in the southeastern counties is critical. The rural county tax base is inadequate to provide all the amenities the citizens require. Road improvement, county parks, recreation facilities, libraries, museums, and a host of valuable and essential projects require a strong advocate in the state legislature to fight to augment local revenue.
Mining and the petroleum industry are the backbone of rural Utah. I support the efforts these industries have made to minimize any negative impact on the environment while providing significant job opportunity for our citizens. I support reasonable and safe exploration and extraction. We must also aggressively seek alternative sources of energy. Financial support needs to be available for research and the development of alternative sources of energy. Â
I intend to visit each community and meet with people to learn of their concerns. It is my goal to stay in touch with the people who live in House District 69.

MASSENA After 20 years in business here, the Yankee One Dollar store will be closing its doors.
Its not that we want to, but things have been pretty bad the past few years, company President Keith R. Flike said.
Mr. Flike cited Walmarts move into the village as the beginning of the end for his store.
That kind of became the center of the retail universe, he said.
He also noted theres a lot more competition in Massena than there used to be.
When we opened, there werent so many national retailers, he said. Were just a regional player.
He said the store employs seven to eight workers. The closure will leave the chain with 27 stores across upstate New York and Vermont.

'High-risk alcohol use is very much tolerated in our community'
EUGENE, Ore. - As the Ducks prepared for the Fiesta Bowl on Thursday, beer sales were brisk back home at the Safeway at 18th and Oak southwest of the University of Oregon campus.
That isn't unusual. What has changed, however, is the merchandise on display next to the beer.
"Basically on a display like this you might see some cups or some table tennis balls," store manager Marc Carlson said.
But the implements of "beer pong" are gone.
Safeway employees have started "putting snacks and chips and those types of things on this aisle," Carlson said. "That would be a change that we made here."
It's one of many changes that add up to an effort by the Eugene Prevention Coalition to curb youth binge drinking in Lane County.
They have good reason to try: alcohol-related death rates in the county are twice the national average.
"High-risk alcohol use is very much tolerated in our community," said Lindsey Adkisson, a Lane County health analyst. "It's something that's considered a rite of passage for our young people."
And it's a rite that officials say can lead to trouble.
"This is something I think is a community issue," said Dr. Paul Shang, dead of students at UO, "and we really need to emphasize that this is not going to be acceptable."
The local prevention coalition asked managers of about 20 grocery stores to take down their beer pong promotions and be mindful of the target of their marketing.
The coalition said Carlson is one of the first Eugene store managers to take down the beer game displays and try a different approach to alcohol marketing.
Adkisson said the goal is not to ban beer pong but promote more responsible behavior.
"I think it's pretty obvious," Carlson said. "You know, somebody's health or somebody's safety isn't worth a few extra dollars in sales."

Witnesses to an apparent suicide attempt at Belmont Courts in Ogdensburg early Friday say they saw no warnings that the victim would turn a gun on himself until they found him laying outside their apartment with a gunshot wound to his head.
Todd J. Tyo, 25, and Susan A. Bogart, 22, of 417 Belmont Courts, identified the victim as Tyler Scott, an acquaintance who had been visiting them Thursday night. The couple said he came over to their home, the scene of the shooting, around 3 p.m. Thursday.
He was real friendly, Mr. Tyo said Monday. He just showed up and said Whats up, man, how are you? He asked to hang out. I had no idea anything was wrong.
Mr. Tyo said he was making popcorn late that night while he overheard Mr. Scott talking on his cellphone.
He was talking to his ex-girlfriend, crying, Mr. Tyo said. I heard him saying something about her calling the cops on him. She accused him of taking her TV, and said she was coming over here with a sheriff.
At around 2 a.m., Mr. Tyo and Ms. Bogart went to bed. A few minutes later, he said, he and Ms. Bogart heard a gunshot.
After we heard the shot we both got up and came downstairs, Mr. Tyo said. I checked the recliner, and he was gone. He was in the recliner like all night, so when I didnt see him there I was worried. His cell phone was in the chair, too. I went out the back door and didnt see him. But I walked a little farther and saw him near the sidewalk towards the road.
Mr. Tyo said he saw Mr. Scott laying on his stomach with his head turned. He said he saw a gunshot wound underneath his chin.
I thought he was dead when I first walked up on him, Ms. Bogart said. He wasnt moving at all.
Ogdensburg police, St. Lawrence County sheriffs deputies, city firefighters and Ogdensburg Volunteer Rescue Squad personnel responded to the 911 call made by Ms. Bogart at 2:12 a.m.
Outside the 400 section of Belmont Courts, city police recovered a .357 caliber revolver believed to be the weapon used.
I knew he had the gun, Mr. Tyo said. I didnt know that he would use it.
Mr. Tyo said Mr. Scott had acted like he might have been on drugs, but he did not see Mr. Scott use any drugs while at his home.
Mr. Scott wasnt a resident of Belmont Courts, Ms. Bogart said. She said this was the fourth time Mr. Scott had visited their home, and the first time he came to their home alone.
Last I knew he lived with his ex-girlfriend in Lisbon, Ms. Bogart said.
City police on Monday would not identify Mr. Scott as the person who was shot. Police also would not say whether the shooting was a suicide attempt.
The investigation remains ongoing, and to this point it would appear that the injuries sustained by the victim were self-inflicted, Detective Daniel C. Mousaw said.
Police would also not say whether charges would be filed against him for discharging a firearm within the city limits.
As of early Monday afternoon, an official at Upstate Medical Center, Syracuse, said Mr. Scott was in stable, but critical condition. Ms. Bogart said she is still in shock.
We dont use the back door anymore just because thats where it happened, Ms. Bogart said.
His very last steps were – out there, Mr. Tyo said.
City police are asking anyone with information that may aid their investigation to contact them at 393-1551.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Lately we have heard a lot on broadcast news about uncertainty.
The stock market is uncertain. Our government is uncertain. Our politicians are uncertain. You and I are uncertain.
Personally, I am not sure why I would be more uncertain now than I was say five or 10 years ago. Or for that matter at any other time in my life.
I hate that term, uncertain. It means we don't know what is going to happen. But do we ever really know that?
I just think it is a silly word. When were any of us ever really certain about most things? Oh sure, we sometimes have the feeling we know things are going to happen one way or another, or we think we know the truth about something. But do we really?
Think about it. How many of us out there thought that Sept. 11, 2001 would just be another sunny September day? The fact is the majority of people were certain of it. Hopefully most of us tend to think of many things in optimistic terms. Unless we are worry warts, we seldom consider that tomorrow could be the end of the world, an invasion of aliens could descend upon us (no not the kind from Mexico) or that it could be announced that American Idol is going off the air. Certainly none of those events could happen during our lifetimes, could they?
We were wrong about Sept. 11, 2001. We could be just as wrong, despite our certainty of things, about about anything that transpires in our lives.
The broadcast news is always talking about "these uncertain times." What does that mean? Were there ever any "certain" times. In fact I find it kind of funny that when they talk about uncertain times in the context of today, we actually have more of an inkling about what might happen in the future than we do during the so-called "certain" times.
For instance lets look at the stock market. On a normal day, with no government reports coming out, Congress not doing something idiotic like they did two weeks ago and things seemingly moving along smoothly we can generally count on things being kind of stable. Right? But if Bill Gates gets a hang nail, or Warren Buffet coughs, the markets can suddenly change as fast as lightning. No one could predict that; no one could know. No one could be certain about what was going to happen.
Yet right now, with the stock market being so volatile, we all know something big will happen each day. Either it will go high or it will go low. For instance we knew with a certainty that the debt debate would affect the stock market; I could smell it clear from Washington D.C. and Wall Street. Yet everyone acted like "Ouuu...we don't know what will happen." There was actually more certainty about that Monday opening of the stock market than we would ever have on a normal Monday when Congress was out of session.
I always ask myself when I hear someone use the term "uncertain times", when were these certain times they always refer too? They never put a date on when they were? Were these times in 1964, 1973, 1987 or 1996? I lived through all those years, and certainty was not one of the hallmarks of any of them. Even at 12 years old (1964), I remember wondering what would become of the world almost each and every day. I married my ex-wife in 1973 (certainly something that turned out not to be certain). In 1987 I left a 15 year career with a school district and took my first job as an editor, certain that I would be a big time magazine editor in California eventually. As for 1996, I was running my own business and everything was uncertain all the time.
Some people say they have great certainty in their life. I have had friends tell me that the latest woman they are dating is "certainly the one." One friend said that the company he worked for was rock solid and "will always be a good investment." And of course I have one friend that is "certain of what happens after death."
I'm glad some of my friends can be so certain about women they date (the guy that told me that has gone through three wives and uncountable girl friends), that investments in some things are a sure thing (my friend worked for General Motors and the companies blue chip stocks he owned were his insurance for retirement) and that they are going to heaven. (The person who told me that has a more black marks in God's book than I do and I know I am not going to heaven. That is one thing that is for certain!)
Personally I think that certainty is over rated. Sure it's a nice concept on the eyes, but it is a very high maintenance state of being. Now that I have thought about it, uncertainty has such a good ring to it, no wonder broadcasters use it so much.
So go ahead, be certain or uncertain. But I'd put my money on uncertainty.

Science Friday® and SciFri® are registered service marks of Science Friday, Inc. Site design by Pentagram; engineering by Mediapolis.
This Friday is a date that comes only once every 28 years - Friday, February 29th. This year is a leap year, with an extra day added at the end of the month of February to help the modern Gregorian calendar sync up with the astronomical calendar. It's needed because the actual time between two yearly solar events, such as the vernal equinox, works out to be 365.2422 days -- resulting in almost one extra day every over the course of four years.
Of course, since it's not almost one day, the rules for leap years are a little more complicated than 'every fourth year.' If a year is divisible by 4, it's a leap year -- unless it's also divisible by 100, in which case it's not a leap year -- unless it is divisible by 400, in which case it is a leap year. (Meaning that while 1800 and 1900 were not leap years, the year 2000 was.) Confused? Let's not even talk about leap seconds. Join us in this segment for a look at leap years, leap days, and the finer points of telling time.

The Ultimate Leopard XP
Posted 30 August 2008 - 08:18 PM
The Preview results of my next tutorial.
To start:
As a beginning point you can do one of two things.
1. You can download FlyakiteOSX here: http://osx.portraitofakite.com/
Making sure to uncheck the iTunes multi plugin as it will make iTunes stop working
2. You can download a patcher for (assuming you have Windows XP sp2) can use the following plugin to patch your system for the use of 3rd party skins for a leopard-like appearance.
*Either way you will have to restart to continue on with this tutorial.
Next for a Visual Style:
You have a multitude of options. I, for one, would not waste my money on windows blinds since the skins, to me, are pointed and ugly, compared to some of the visual styles.
Here are my two favorite visual styles from deviant art:
(Just download, unzip with a program like 7-zip [http://www.7-zip.org/], and click the visual style contained within the unzipped folder to apply)
Next for the more accurate bars to go along with your changing windows environment.
First for the application that will aid in changing this [TrueTransparency]: http://www.crystalxp...lorer-tools.htm
After you install that go to your windows search under your start menu and type in TrueTransparency, when the folder that results in the search is located click to open it and find the folder inside that says skins.
Now to add a bar that is more accurate to leopard than what is applied by the visual styles found here: http://eamon63.devia...for-TT-97424227
Just download, unzip, and paste into the TrueTransparency folder that you located early then restart TrueTransparency, right click on the tray icon, change to start with windows then go down to skins and select leopard shadows.
[To change the font of a skin that you are using in TrueTransparency, go back to where you originally download that skin, open that folder. Open the Maximized folder, then with notepad open the skin.ini file, then change the font name under the font name spot to the one you would like. Repeat for the Minimized folder. Then copy and paste this new Leopard Shadows skin into the TrueTransparency skins folder replacing the old one, then start TrueTransparency then the font will be chnaged]
Now for Icons. I have found, personally, the best combination of icons for me was to use the ones from FlyakiteOSX paired with ones that are more Leopard like.
This is achieved using IconTweaker and a skin. Both of which are listed below for you.
The skin:
Now, ever so important is fonts and buttons. The reason for doing this together is because they share a common program, styler.
To download styler go here: http://www.crystalxp...yler-1-401.html
Now for the buttons: http://iscool69.devi...tyler-100321774
Simply download, unzip, and drag to the toolbar section under the styler settings then apply, see your windows explorer for the changes.
And the fonts: I won't tell you one font is better than another, but my favorite fonts for my computer are Soulless Fonts, which are smooth and alot cleaner than windows fonts.
Before you install them however, I suggest you open up the properties tab, then go to the appearance tab, then go to the effects button, go down to font smoothing and change it from standard to cleartype.
Now that you have accomplished that and applied that go to the following link: http://web.archive.o...p?showtopic=208
Right click the Soulless Font link and save target as, then unzip.
Find the font you want and copy it into your font directory under c:/Windows
Then restart and go to styler, go to the font tab and highlight bold and shadows, then change each font till you have the font you want system wide. You can change the size, but don't make the font too large or risk loosing parts of the text due to lack of space.
Next, the Explorer makeover.
Using the famous FindeXer.
You can customize the icons to your hearts content. Change the font, make it default in the explorer, save you settings. It is an amazing piece of programing.
Go here for a very good tutorial of how to customize your Findexer bar to resemble most closely the side bar in Leopard's famous finder.
Amazing tabbed browsing for your explorer. Adds a bit of functionality, and cleans up the clutter. Make sure to read the readme because if it doesn't work, then the solution is included, no searching necessary.
And a skin:
(Make sure in the settings to resize the tabs to the size shown, I prefer 200 for this particular skin)
[download, unzip, follow instructions below]
(When you install and restart, open explorer, right click on the new tab bar, go down to options, click appearance, and change the icon option to the skin that is contained in the deviant art folder that you unziped above]
Now for docks. There are a plethora of opinions on docks. Here are the best ones that I have heard of, all are customizable and I will include icon and skin links.
The following dock comes fully fleshed out with the best that in can be in my opinion. All icons are customizable, but this dock doesn't have live icon reflections so they must be reflective icons.
This dock is made by stardock. There is a pay version available, but the free version works just fine.
This next one is mainly for single users, because it will show up for every user. But it is an awesome dock, being that it has reflections built in.

Well, it's better than nothing, but flesh it out a bit with descriptions and instructions.
Everything is self explanatory when you click the link, unzip it and install. And I haven't seen anything close to ultimate on this forum.
Don't get so into it, it was just to get people to read it. If I say sorta good leopard imitation, that sounds super lame and no one will even try
[[ Edit: ]]
But I even included a Mod page to mod system files of windows, so they would even run like a mac

True that. Also, try grouping them into seperate sections.
Example: extra apps, menubars, desktop enhancers, etc.
You should probably lurk more then.

I know the following may sound a bit strange or crazy:
Since the first issue of 'Space between' I'm now a regular reader und big fan of all Star Trek Series. For me IDW has the best approach since Marvel and I can only asy: Guys, you rule! Keep on trekin'!
Here in Austria, where I'm from, the Transformers started in cinemas a while ago and yesterday I also finally had the time to watch the movie which is simply great.
After that I started thinking and now want to know what you would think about a crossover between Star Trek and Transformers, just the way Marvel once did with TOS/TNG with the X-Men. I simply love the idea of seeing a Sovereign-Class transforming to Optimus Prime oder a Defiant into Bumblebee
I have even thought about two possible plots:
One would be set during the Dominion War, where the Federation get help from the Autobots, while the Decepticons could ally with the Dominion and the other would be basically the same but setz during the Romulan War (here Optimus Prime would have to be a NX-Class then).
I think this kind of crossover could fit in a special issue, maybe Transformers Evolution (like the very genius Hearts of Steel)

Alzheimer's disease can last more than a decade. See what types of behaviors are common in each of the stages as the disease progresses.
Subscribe to our Alzheimer's Caregiving e-newsletter to stay up to date on Alzheimer's topics.
Alzheimer's disease typically develops slowly and gradually gets worse over the course of several years. It eventually affects most areas of your brain, including those important in memory, thinking, judgment, language, problem-solving, personality and movement.
There are five stages associated with Alzheimer's disease: preclinical Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, mild dementia due to Alzheimer's, moderate dementia due to Alzheimer's and severe dementia due to Alzheimer's. Dementia describes a group of symptoms affecting intellectual and social abilities severely enough to interfere with daily functioning.
These stages can help you and your family understand what to expect and plan for the future. It's important to realize that Alzheimer's stages are rough guides based on averages and generalizations. The disease is a continuous process. Your experience with Alzheimer's, the symptoms you develop and when they appear may vary.
Alzheimer's disease begins long before any symptoms become apparent. This stage is called preclinical Alzheimer's disease. You won't notice symptoms during this stage, nor will those around you. This stage of Alzheimer's can last for years, possibly even decades.
Although you won't notice any changes, new imaging technologies can now identify deposits of a substance called amyloid beta that have been associated with Alzheimer's disease. The ability to identify these early deposits may be especially important as new treatments are developed for Alzheimer's disease.
People with mild cognitive impairment have mild changes in their memory and thinking ability. These changes aren't significant enough to affect work or relationships yet. People with MCI may have memory lapses when it comes to information that is usually easily remembered, such as conversations, recent events or appointments. People with MCI may also have trouble judging the amount of time needed for a task, or they may have difficulty correctly judging the number or sequence of steps needed to complete a task. The ability to make sound decisions can become harder for people with MCI.
Not everyone with mild cognitive impairment has Alzheimer's disease. In some cases, MCI is due to depression or a temporary medical complication. The same procedures used to identify preclinical Alzheimer's disease can help determine whether MCI is due to Alzheimer's disease or something else.
Alzheimer's disease is often diagnosed in the mild dementia stage, when it becomes clear to family and doctors that a person is having significant trouble with memory and thinking.
In the mild Alzheimer's stage, people may experience:

"The Grand Canyon presents an unrivaled view into the Earth's geologic history. From the canyon's Paleozoic-era rims to the bottom of the Precambrian-age inner gorge, nearly 2 billion years of time are represented in the exposed rocks, or about two-fifth's of the Earth's estimated age of 5 billion years" (Hoffman, 1987, p. 11). This quote came from a book that was purchased in 1999 from one of the gift shops at Grand Canyon National Park. The author, John Hoffman goes on to describe how "about 40 million years were required for the Grand Canyon to be eroded to its awesome dimensions" (p. 12). While that book has truly beautiful pictures, the text inside is in dire need of revision.
An article in the September 30, 2000 issue of Science News has shown that carving this beloved hole in the ground may not have been such a long-term project after all (Perkins, 2000). Prior to the 1930s, geologists proposed that the Grand Canyon was about "40 million years old" (p. 218). However, evidence now has come to light that indicates a much younger canyon. Research presented at a June 1999 conference devoted to the origin of the gorge suggests that substantial portions of the eastern Grand Canyon have been eroded only within the past million years. And so, as quickly as ink dries on paper, geologists cut 39 million years off the age of the Grand Canyon, and dropped its age to 1/40 of their previous estimates. This is even 3 million years less than Hoffman's calculation (p. 12).
In justifying their new calculations for the young age of the canyon, geologists suggest a scenario in which the portions of the present-day Colorado River above and below the canyon may not have been connected. They believe that the most likely explanation is that "the west flowing tributary of the ancestral lower Colorado River began to carve a small valley eastward into the edge of the Colorado Plateau. The upper portion of the river eventually merged with the ancestral upper Colorado River and its tributaries to form a single river system. The result would have been a strengthened torrent of water that could carve through rock at a faster clip than ever before" (p. 219). Faster clip indeed! Thirty-nine million years is a tremendous amount of time to suddenly just vanish! Richard Young, a geologist at the State University of New York, speculated on the swiftness of this erosion: "Fifty years ago, geologists didn't realize how fast erosion could occur. When there's a depression in the rock and the river flows through, it can erode incredibly rapidly."
The Science News article listed other studies in which data show how fast rivers can slash through rock. It also listed the erosion rates of several neighboring canyons, and then noted: "Downstream in the Grand Canyon, where the Colorado carries much more water and sediment, rates of erosion are likely much higher." This is exactly the point Derek Ager, former president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science (and head of the department of geology and oceanography, University College of Swansea), made in his 1993 book, The Nature of the Stratigraphical Record.
One of the most spectacular sights ever seen by man must have been the mile-high fiery cascade when a lava flow poured into the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Earlier lava flows, before the coming of man, date back a million years, but since that time the Colorado River has only cut down about 50 feet. The canyon itself cannot have started more than 10 million years ago, so here too there must have been some very rapid erosion at some time (p. 80, emp. added).
This new information likely will cause many evolutionists headaches as they try to revamp their theories about the early history of the gorge. The Grand Canyon used to be one of the evolutionists' favorite landmarks as they tried to establish an ancient age for the Earth. Not any more! The times, they are a changin'!

You loved Anne Hathaway's version of "I Dreamed a Dream"… but do the other "Les Miserables" cast members' voices measure up?
"Les Mis" is generating a ton of hype -- thanks to the star-studded ensemble cast that includes Anne, Amanda Seyfried, Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman together on the big screen and singing!
We heard only Anne's vocals in the first trailer, but her costars don't disappoint in this new international trailer. Singing aside, the movie looks stunning (and we'll say it, Oscar-worthy!).
The classic tale really looks like it will come to life on film! Check out the trailer above and share your thoughts below!

Tri Cam
In Stock Product Number: 307
Look on the rack of most experienced trad climbers and you are almost certain to see an assortment of Tricams. Most climbers agree that visiting the Gunks without multiples of pink through purple is a serious mistake. These wondrous pieces of pro can be used either as cams or nuts and often work where nothing else fits. Tricams are ideal in horizontal cracks, pockets, and shallow vertical cracks. The larger sizes are an affordable way to augment a rack of cams and are ideal for belay anchors due to their high strength and light weight. Tricams can also be placed in icy cracks where regular cams do not work. Updated for 2013! Our engineers recently spent some time working on one of the ageold questions with the Tricam … how to stiffen the sling without impeding its ability to engage the camming action. After much experimenting, we rested on the simple solution of carrying the inner band of webbing further towards the head and using a new stitch pattern. The result is a naturally stiffer sling that makes one-handed placements easier, but still engages the cam in active mode and will even increase durability over sharp edges with the additional layer of material.

Comments about Camp Tri Cam:
Tri-cams are useful in placements where cams might be a little wierd. They are awesome in horizontal cracks. They can be tricky to place, but once set, they are bomber. I have found that the smallest three sizes (pink, red, brown) are the most useful. The only reason I only give four stars is that I don't use them as frequently as cams and nuts. They occupy a small niche of climbing protection, and they are very good at what they do.

A Watertown woman was sentenced Thursday in Jefferson County Court to up to four years in state prison after admitting she violated her Drug Court contract.
Melinda R. Roberts, 44, was sentenced to 11⁄3to 4 years in prison after admitting that she violated terms of the substance abuse rehabilitation program that is designed to serve as an alternative to incarceration. She admitted violating the program by continuing to use Suboxone without a prescription and by leaving a substance abuse rehabilitation program against advice.
She was referred to the program in December 2010 after pleading guilty to first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, a felony, and misdemeanor driving while intoxicated and driving while ability impaired. She admitted that she drove on Route 283 in the town of LeRay after drinking and taking a prescription drug.
At the time, her drivers license was suspended or revoked for a prior alcohol-related offense.
Judge Kim H. Martusewicz recommended that Ms. Roberts serve her sentence in the prison systems Willard Drug Rehabilitation Program. If deemed eligible by Department of Corrections and Community Supervision officials, she would participate in the 90-day program and, if successful, serve the balance of her sentence on parole.
In other court activity:
Jennifer L. Hardy, 31, of 521 Mundy St., pleaded guilty to third-degree grand larceny and was referred to Drug Court. She admitted in mid-May that she used a credit card belonging to her mother, Jeanne M. Narrow, Redwood, to acquire more than $3,000 worth of goods and services without her mothers authorization.
District Attorney Cindy F. Intschert said that if Ms. Hardy successfully completes Drug Court, the third-degree grand larceny conviction will be amended to the same charge in the fourth degree and that she will be sentenced to five years probation. If she is unsuccessful, she faces a prison sentence of two to six years.
Roderick B. Pugh, 40, Syracuse, pleaded guilty to two counts each of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
He was charged in a grand jury indictment in June with having and selling cocaine within the county in mid-March and again in early April. He is expected to be sentenced April 19 to six months in the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building and five years probation.

This is a great product! It is high quality material, and it does stick and unstick many times. Although the skin deforms if you are no careful enough, but its not too much of a problem. I bought it for my girlfriend and she loves it. Just make sure that you poke all of those small cuts out before peeling it off. I had to remove one of the pieces because of it... But it does look really good. Note: my matching wallpaper is a little bit lighter in color than the skin, but its all good.Irvin Mendez, United States

Generosity was spread to those who asked for it Tuesday as the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agencys loan review committee recommended accepting a lump-sum payment from a businessman to forgive a loan, then approved two loans for small businesses hatched this year.
Curtis Furniture Co., 25465 Route 342, Evans Mills, will pay a lump sum of $75,000 to settle a $94,000 loan principal owed to the agency, the committee decided after talking with owner Peter S. Curtis, who attended the meeting. The agencys board of directors will take a final vote on it July 11.
Mr. Curtis has had difficulty staying current on monthly loan payments, according to the agency. The outstanding $94,000 remaining principal is owed from two $125,000 loans made in 1988 and 1990.
He has paid about $147,000 in interest to the agency since September 1997, when those loans were refinanced into a $176,941 loan to be repaid at a 5 percent interest rate for 20 years.
The committee went into executive session for about 15 minutes Tuesday to ask Mr. Curtis financial questions about his company, which has manufactured custom-made furniture since 1981. Seven employees are now on the staff.
Board members expressed unanimous support for the $75,000 offer made by the businessman, $19,000 shy of what he owed. The total interest Mr. Curtis has paid on loans to the agency since 1988 has amounted to about $250,000, said David J. Converse, JCIDA board chairman.
I personally think that, through these hardships over the years, hes generated a lot of interest, Mr. Converse said. Hes paid a little bit of the principal amount but has paid us a lot of the money back. I think hes set a precedent, and this agreement will help preserve jobs in the community.
Mr. Curtiss relationship with the agency started in April 1988 after his building on Route 342 near Calcium was destroyed by a fire. The agency agreed to lend $125,000 to help Mr. Curtis rebuild the shop, then followed that in 1990 by approving another $125,000 loan for working capital.
In other business, the agency approved:
n A $40,000 five-year loan at 5 percent interest for Better Health Chiropractic of Watertown, an independent practice in the office of Maxon Chiropractic, 21101 Route 12F, Suite 5. The loan will be used by Renee J. Petitto, who opened the practice in February, to purchase equipment. Mrs. Petitto shares space at the building with Dr. Tomm Maxon at Maxon Chiropractic. As collateral for the loan, the agency has a lien on the equipment and holds a second position on the mortgage for the Petittos residence, 205 E. Main St., Gouverneur.
n A $12,150 loan to SUP Sackets Harbor, 125 Pike Road, a paddleboarding outfitter and yoga business located in Madison Barracks. The five-year, 5 percent interest loan is contingent on approval of a matching $12,150 loan from Sackets Harbor Local Development Corp. Owners Justin B. and Jamie McGiver, who attended the meeting, said they plan to use the funding to purchase stand-up paddleboards to be rented and sold by the business. Along with a lien on the equipment for collateral, the agency has a first position on the mortgage of the couples Sackets Harbor residence, 110 Dodge Ave.

The Rook
by O'Malley, Daniel
Myfanwy (rhymes with Tiffany) Thomas is born in the rain, surrounded by corpses in latex gloves. A helpful letter in her pocket informs her that the previous inhabitant of her body was just forcibly erased by enemies who will not be inclined to mercy just because the new Myfanwy has no idea what's going on. Luckily, the previous Myfanwy was warned of her upcoming unmaking by several psychics, and left highly detailed instructions to help her replacement cope. This requires quite a lot of letters, since Myfanwy 2.0 must deal with her powerful supernatural abilities, her job in a secret pseudo-governmental organization that handles uncanny (and generally icky) phenomena, and the conspiracy threatening them all. The richly-detailed world, riveting mystery, and likable heroine(s) result in a highly imaginative, frequently hilarious, and deeply satisfying novel.

The Lucky Ones: My Passionate Fight for Farm Animals
by Brown, Jenny with Gretchen Primack
Did you know cows can naturally live to be 25 years old? Or that turkeys enjoy a good massage and are very sociable? The Lucky Ones: My Passionate Fight for Farm Animals is written by Jenny Brown, a woman who started the Woodstock Animal Sanctuary in New York (http://www.woodstocksanctuary.org). Through her work as a volunteer and, eventually, owning her own sanctuary, Brown has learned many fascinating and profound things about the personalities of animals. She has nurtured animals back to frolicking happiness when they had only known humans who were indifferent to their adversity. Brown is no stranger to hardship. When she was just 10 years old she lost her leg to cancer. Not one to let anything slow her down, Brown tells her story of overcoming the challenges of growing up with one leg and how her compassion drove her to purchase a farm and start a sanctuary. This book has the perfect ratio of inspiration and heartbreak. But before you think it might be too much for you I encourage you to read it all the way through. The payoff is learning how happy animals can be if they are allowed to live and that people like Brown exist in this world to make the world a better place. The book includes an extensive bibliography and tips on becoming an herbivore.

How Should a Person Be?: A Novel from Life
by Heti, Sheila
The subtitle of Sheila Heti's How Should A Person Be? caught my eye: "A Novel from Life." Perhaps a fictional memoir could be expected, yet within a few pages I knew that identifying the precise type of this book would not be possible.
Sheila, a young creative and aspiring playwright, offers a story of self, art, and friendship told through literary prose, strings of emails, recorded conversations presented in screenplay form, and personal observations that go above stream of consciousness and land in finely crafted questions with echoes of acute self-wondering and self-reckoning.
When her marriage ends, so does Sheila's creative flow, specifically with a play that she has been commissioned to write. She begins to question not only the creative process but the process of self. When she meets a painter named Margaux, Sheila explores both the strength and delicacy of true kinship and how friends help form us. The rest of the cast include fellow creatives—one, Israel, a new exotic lover—and it is through all of these relationships that Sheila studies closely the idea of "how a person should be."
"You can admire anyone for being themselves," Heti poses in her prologue. "It's hard not to, when everyone's so good at it. But when you think of them all together like that, how do you choose? How can you say, I'd rather be responsible like Misha than irresponsible like Margaux? Responsibility looks so good on Misha, and irresponsibility looks so good on Margaux. How could I know which would look best on me?"
This "novel from life," written in unconventional form that is both highly readable and relatable, How Should A Person Be? is a rare and raw beauty of a read. I was drawn in by the author's honest, probing questions and real-world realizations, burgeoning with a deep homage to friendship and its lasting effect on who we are and might become.

The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window and Disappeared
by Jonasson, Jonas
This title is another Swedish import, but a far cry from those dark mysteries like Stieg Larsson's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo or Camilla Lackberg's Stonecutter. Allan Karlsson is having a birthday, his 100th, and he does not want to attend the party in his honor at the Old Folks Home. Allan has had enough of Director Alice and her vodka ban and impetuously decides to leave through his bedroom window. Still in his slippers, he makes his way to the bus station where he finds the first bus out of town. It just so happens that a gang member, Bolt, is also looking to get away. He asks Allan to look after his suitcase while he uses the restroom. The bus arrives. Allan decides to take the suitcase, figuring there would be some shoes and other essentials for his trip, and gets on board. And we're off on a crazy chase through Sweden, as Bolt and his gang track Allan, the suitcase, and the people he meets. We also get to know Allan's past and this is not the first time he's been on the run! I thought this was a charming mash-up of Forrest Gump and Water for Elephants.

The Blade Itself
by Abercrombie, Joe
"Every man has his excuses, and the more vile the man becomes, the more touching the story has to be. What is my story now, I wonder?" – Sand Dan Glokta, The Blade Itself
Shortly after ripping through the "Game of Thrones" series, I found myself scrabbling for another story with the same kind of gritty violence, underhanded scheming, and raw human characters. Sadly, nothing quite scratched that itch. It is rare to find a fantasy story that breaks free from the classic tropes: elves, orcs, dwarves, and an ancient prophecy fulfilled by an unassuming farm boy who'll face a monolithic force of "pure evil". All accomplished, of course, with the help of a kindly old wizard who'll drop in to help just enough to leave room for a challenge. You know the drill, right?
Enter Joe Abercrombie's "First Law" Trilogy, starting with The Blade Itself. And by "enter", I mean "kicks the door off its hinges, turns all the old clichés upside down, and shakes them a few times for their spare change." When the "good guys" are a battle-scarred barbarian who'll turn on his own allies when he flies into a rage, a cold-blooded imperial torturer with no sense of fear, and a former slave turned assassin with nothing to live for but revenge, you know you're in for a wild ride. This is a story with no room for simplistic notions of good and evil with characters that are, at the end of the day, merely human. It is all done with a heavy slathering of cruel wit, which one might call parody if the end result were not so true to life. As Logen Ninefingers, terror of the North, would say, "You have to be realistic about these things."
If The Blade Itself has a weak point, it's that it is the first book of a trilogy that takes time to reveal all of its twists. If you're only in it for one serving, you might leave thinking that you've got the inevitable love story all figured out, or that Bayaz, the resident wizard, is nothing more than another Gandalf/Dumbledore figure. That would be a big mistake.
Joe Abercrombie is a refreshing voice in the fantasy genre, and readers who couldn't get enough of Tyrion Lannister, Royce and Hadrian of Riyria, or the exploits of The Black Company, owe it to themselves to check him out.

Eye Treatment
Adapted to the eye contour, the eye-creme texture is thiner than the one used for the face. As a skin coat, the creme leaves a thin texture over your skin to bring instant suppleness and comfort. With its ultra-refreshing metal applicator, the Diorsnow white reveal illuminating eye treatment visibly reduces dark circles and puffiness. The eye contour appears smoother and brighter.

The Spirit
Action/Adventure, Drama
Adapted from the legendary comic strip, "The Spirit" is a classic action-adventure-romance told by genre-twister Frank Miller. It is the story of a former rookie cop who returns mysteriously from the dead as the Spirit to fight crime from the shadows of Central City. His arch-enemy, the Octopus has a different mission: he's going to wipe out Spirit's beloved city as he pursues his own version of immortality. The Spirit tracks this cold-hearted killer from Central City's rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept waterfront--all the while facing a bevy of beautiful women, who either want to seduce, love or kill our masked crusader. Surrounding him at every turn are Ellen Dolan, the whip-smart girl-next-door; Silken Floss, a punk secretary and frigid vixen; Plaster of Paris, a murderous French nightclub dancer; Lorelei, a phantom siren; and Morgenstern, a sexy young cop. Then of course, there's Sand Sarerf, the jewel thief with dangerous curves. She's the love of his life turned bad. Will he save her or will she kill him?
