What travelers to Krabi are saying
The Krabi Rundown
When you distill Thailand down to a shortlist of desirable destinations, it becomes abundantly clear that Krabi Province is a tidy compliment and counterweight to both Bangkok and Chiang Mai. The assertion is somewhat crude but, beyond a shadow of a doubt, a week in all three provides a fabulous overview of the country for travellers under severe holiday time constraints.
There are more than a few places in Krabi that elicit hazy, fantastical daydreams of a life free from such modern concerns and limitations. Lush marine parks, clandestine coves, island villages and tropical coasts iridescent with fiery, blood-red sunsets all induce similar questions. Questions like, "Why do I have to go home?" and "How can I live here forever?". All legitimate, perfectly coherent thoughts in a place like Krabi, where astonishing, achingly picturesque scenery is never far away.
Alas, the province's singular allure is not under the mainstream radar. As paradisal as Krabi and the Andaman Coast can be, from the Phi Phi Islands to Railay, Than Bokkharani National Park to Khao Phanom Bencha National Park, a flurry of new commercial developments alter the provincial landscape every year. As such, every tourist who decides to visit and mark this pristine part of Southeast Asia with her proverbial footprint has to make a choice and weigh the usual pros and cons. Whatever the case - upscale beach hotel, budget hut, covert island resort - Krabi's spectacular wow factor is impossible to ignore.
Krabi's Top 10
10. Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park is under intense pressure from mass tourism but still unfurls some pristine fragments of natural beauty. The park extends from Nopparat Thara Beach on the mainland to the Phi Phi Islands.
5. Khao Phanom Bencha National Park is one of the last bastions of pure, virgin rainforest in Thailand. Trails meander past dramatic waterfalls and, deep within the trees, lurk clouded leopards and black panthers.
9. Ao Lo Da Lam is a beautiful, curvy beach on Ko Phi Phi Don.
4. Shell Cemetery is worth the trek to the edge of Ao Nam Mao. The gastropod graveyard looks like a sci-fi wasteland.
8. Wat Tham Seua, Thailand's incomparable Tiger Cave Temple, is a marvel. Monastic abodes are carved into cliff walls and a rather arduous climb to the top of a karst crest yields memorable rewards.
3. Ko Lanta Marine National Park covers 134 km2 of southern Krabi Province and some of the most beautiful coastal scenery in the country.
7. Hammock House takes an ostensibly banal item, hammocks, and transforms them into works of art.
2. Than Bokkharani National Park spans an extraordinary landscape of islands, limestone caves and mangroves in Ao Leuk. For a special thrill, come after the monsoon rains and, preferably, not on a weekend.
6. Tham Phra Nang, Railay's Diamond Cave, is no diamond in the rough. The intricacy and brilliance of the limestone formations inside is remarkable.
1. Sa Phra Nang is a lagoon oasis of singular beauty in Railay.

Krabi Local
It is all too facile to lump all of Krabi in one homogeneous box. The truth of the matter is that the province, while nowhere close to the top in area and population terms in Thailand, has a lot of furtive corners and pockets to explore. Krabi covers over 4,700 km2, with 8 districts and well over 300 villages.
Krabi is the eponymous provincial capital and popular gateway to the rest of the Andaman Coast. As a national park platform, the town of 30,000 people is a superb stop.
Ao Nang is Krabi's version of a package holiday beach resort. Alas, the beach itself is no prize but a built-up, mainstream tourism infrastructure means visitors can afford live out the Krabi dream for a week or two. Ao Nang also serves as a good base from which to explore more far-flung, remote islands.
Ko Pu or Jum, for now, offers the priceless promise of some peace and quiet. Almost completely empty from May to November, the island is no-frills and totally built for tropical relaxation.
Ko Si Boya is very much the same as Ko Pu. There is little else to do on this small island than chill out, swim and get a sunburn.
Ko Lanta Yai has gone from backpacker central to mainstream holiday hub over the last two decades. The most popular escape from Krabi town is still a reliable bet, however, and a good compromise between the mainland and Phi Phi Islands. The island measures roughly 180 km2 and has become virtually synonymous with Ko Lanta District as a whole.
Ko Phi Phi Don was the ultimate Andaman gem before the 2004 tsunami and is finally on the mend. The significant damage wrought by the disaster has yielded some curious results; namely staunch efforts to maintain the beauty of the bellwether Phi Phi island and not let it fall into the hands of over-zealous developers and negligent tourists. Time will tell if this holds but, for the time being, Ko Phi Phi Don's relative priceyness is a good control on careless exploitation.
Railay could well be the most tropically bucolic spot in all of Thailand. A line of inhospitable cliffs protects this narrow strip of land from the rest of the world and shelters aquamarine waters, golden sand and abstract rock formations.
Krabi Eat & Drink
Krabi Night Markets (Khong Kha and Sukhon) teem with all the requisite flavour bombs on the Thai culinary landscape.
Oasis Sunset (Klong Nin Beach, Ko Lanta) is a terrific beach bar and restaurant that hits all the sweet spots food-wise.
Neng's (590 Moo 2 Saladan, Ko Lanta) is frequently cited as the best restaurant in Ko Lanta. Unfussy, expertly-made fish and seafood.
Tanta (Ao Nang) is just the place to sate a pizza urge. The restaurant also serves popular Thai and Western staples.
Gajanana's (197/6 Khlong Muang, Nongtalay, Muang, Krabi Town) menu covers Thai, Indian, Chinese and Nepalese dishes, all prepared with skill and fresh ingredients.
Kiran Kitchen (Ao Nang) could well be the best Indian restaurant on the Andaman Coast.
Del Rocks Restaurant & Bar (Ao Nang) is a solid lunch and dinner bet with straightforward Thai and Western fare.
Papaya (Ko Phi Phi Don) is a convivial hole in the wall with consistently superior Thai cuisine.
Le Grand Blue (Ko Phi Phi Don) proves that yes, you can procure better-than-decent French food in southern Thailand.
Jasmine (Ko Phi Phi Don) has rustic charm and serves excellent Thai classics and cocktails.
Krabi Events
Krabi has a quiet events calendar, with a few Buddhist, provincial and tourist festivals of note.
Sat Duean Sip Festival (or Festival of the Tenth Lunar Month) is a time for filial rememberance, ancestor worship and Buddhist temple visits.
Chak Phra Festival involves lengthy processions of Buddha images and some truly colourful pageantry every October.
Loi Ruea Chao Le is a traditional Moken, or sea gypsy, full moon ceremony held in Ko Lanta in the sixth and eleventh lunar calendar month.
Krabi Boek Fa Andaman Festival kicks off the busy tourism season in November with a lineup of watersports events, cultural performances, food stalls and markets.
Laanta Lanta Festival is a vibrant, century-old folk festival held every March in Ko Lonta.
When To Go
Krabi Province has a tropical climate with even temperatures and two seasons: a hot season from January to April and the wet season from May to December. Temperatures range from 77°F to 90°F (25°C to 32°C ) for the year, on average, with annual rainfall well over 2500 mm.
Without question, the dry, hot season is the time to visit Krabi and, indeed, Thailand in general. Yet for all the precipitation between May and December, rain typically falls in short, heavy, predictable bursts.
Violent tropical systems and tsunamis, of course, can flare up on the Andaman Sea coast. The worst storms in Krabi elicit mudslides, severe property damage and do, on occasion, take lives. With bad weather possible anytime of year, it pays to keep tabs on the forecast.
What To Miss
Basic services and transport. Beach-side shops and restaurants. Tour operators. From time to time, all can and do take advantage of vulnerable and naïve strangers to Krabi Province. The phenomenon is not particular to the south of Thailand, of course, but a repercussion of mass tourism to a previously pristine part of the tropics where the economic disparity between new visitors and locals is grave.
The usual tried-and-true travel advice, then, applies. Keep your wits without presumptive cynicism or resentment and source out reliable word-of-mouth references. The vast majority of shop owners, boat operators, tuk-tuk drivers and others connected to the Krabi tourism economy are honest and industrious people. Trust your instincts and look to friendly locals and fellow travellers to point the way.
Getting Around
Krabi, the capital of Krabi Province, is a dominant point of entry for tourists to the Andaman Coast of Thailand. Krabi Airport, a modest hub, is less than 10 km from town and provides service to Bangkok, Koh Samui, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Goa, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Oslo, Stockholm, Gothenburg and Warsaw. The airport handles about 400,000 passenger arrivals and departures every year.
Coach bus service is abundant from Bangkok to Krabi and a popular option. The 10 hour ride is less stressful from the comfort of first or VIP class. A flotilla of long-tail boats ferry visitors to Ko Lanta, Ko Phi Phi and Railay from Chilat and Kha piers in Krabi town throughout the dry season. In the off-season the departure schedule is sporadic and minivans is the sole transport method available for Ko Lanta.
Krabi town is small and easy to explore on foot. For the weary and short on time, tuk-tuks, taxis and minivans, in addition to car and motorcycle rentals, abound. On the islands, transport options range from 4WD and scooter rentals to long-boat and speedboat charters. Suffice to say that the more remote the Krabi Province destination, the fewer transport alternatives exist at your disposal. If you do find yourself on a road-less island, you're probably in the right place.
General Information
Thailand's phenomenal ascent in the sphere of tourism began with rest and relaxation stops by U.S. soldiers at the height of the Vietnam War. Word of a pristine, wild and exotic coast spread like napalm and over time, development to accommodate mass tourism began. From a dribble of foreign visitors four decades ago, Thailand now welcomes just under 15 million international tourists a year. Many pass through the west coast town of Krabi, in the south of Thailand.
Popular has a catalyst to Ko Phi Phi, Phuket, Ao Nang and other spots up and down the coast, there is archaeological evidence to suggest that the capital of Krabi Province was the first place of human settlement in Thailand. A glance at the spectacular landscape that encircles Krabi is enough to convince most. Caves, wildlife reservations and national parks are just some of the gems in store for visitors, with great beaches never more than a short drive away.

Ways Greg Can Help
Academy Nominations
One of the services Congressman Walden is honored to provide residents of the Second District is that of nominations to one of the nation's esteemed service academies. He accepts applications from interested students each year through October. An experienced committee of current and retired military officers - led by John Howard, a retired Navy Commander now working in his Medford office - then helps Congressman Walden choose outstanding young adults for nomination to the U.S. Air Force Academy, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, the U.S. Military Academy and the U.S. Naval Academy.
Below is information on the process for receiving a nomination. If you have any questions, feel free to contact John Howard at (541) 776-4646.
To be considered for admission to a service academy, you need both a nomination and a completed application with the academy (or academies) to which you are applying. There are two nomination categories - Congressional and Military-Service Connected. If you meet the eligibility requirements you may apply for and receive nominations in both categories. You are also urged to apply for nominations with Oregon's two U.S. Senators, Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkely. Congressman Walden makes annual nominations to the following service academies:
- United States Air Force Academy
- United States Merchant Marine Academy
- United States Military Academy
- United States Naval Academy
You must meet the following eligibility requirements as of July 1 of the year of entry to an academy:
- Be at least 17 years old, but not have passed your 23rd birthday.
- Be a United States Citizen, and a legal resident from the Second Congressional District of Oregon.
- Be unmarried, not pregnant, and have no legal obligations for support of a child or other dependents.
The service academies consider evidence of character, scholarship, leadership, physical aptitude, medical fitness, goals and motivation. To help Congressman Walden and his committee determine these qualifications for a nomination, you need to establish a file in his Medford office. The completed file will contain the following:
1. A completed application form, which you can obtain by contacting John Howard in his Medford office at (541) 776-4646.
2. Three recommendations, at least one of which is from a teacher, school advisor or principal. The other two should come from personal friends or acquaintances who have known you long enough to attest to your character.
3. SAT or ACT scores. You are encouraged to take these required examinations as early as possible in the testing cycle. This may help you qualify for an early offer of an appointment, and also allows you a chance to retake the tests if you need to improve your scores. When taking the SAT, use the code number 4722 on the test application form, and direct that a copy of the results be sent to Representative Walden's Medford office.
4. A one page essay outlining why you want to attend the academy and pursue a military service career.
5. A transcript (including class rank) from the last completed semester of high school and, if beyond high school, the last completed quarter grades.
6. A recent wallet size photograph of yourself.
As mentioned above, each year Congressman Walden convenes a board of current and retired military officers in late November or early December to review the files and interview all qualified candidates. He then reviews the board's recommendations and makes his final nominations in December to provide the academies the opportunity to make early appointments. The deadline for completed files is the last Friday in October.
The United States Coast Guard Academy is the only one of the service academies that offers appointment solely on the basis of an annual nationwide competition. There are no Congressional appointments or geographical quotas involved.

I am the marathon type of manga reader. I prefer reading completed manga or picking up new titles which already have plenty of scanlated chapters. Unless I am very curious about the story development, I usually wait until there are a couple of chapters released to start reading again. Then I focus on finishing the manga or all the available chapters before I read any other. This is not the case with Gintama. I describe my reading style as slow and distracted.
Obviously, I do enjoy reading this tale of silly, easy going, airhead silver curly haired samurai, whose dream is to have a straight hair. If not I would not have been so persistent in reading it. The manga is jammed pack with gags, parodies and puns. Despite accusation of being a copycat and unoriginal because of them, it does have a story of its own and its characters are also very well developed. Hideaki Sorachi had exposed me to as many variety of plots and settings a mangaka can do in one title; amongst others: a video game face off, a naval siege, robotic coup de tat and my favorite, servitude in a haunted ryokan.

MASSENA Town residents living outside the village limits once again will pay the same amount for fire inspection fees as village residents following a resolution passed this week by the Town Council.
Were trying to keep our fees in line with what the village is doing, Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray said during a public hearing this week that drew no comments.
Councilman Thomas C. Miller, a member of the Massena Volunteer Fire Department, said the fact that the fire department is doing these inspections is beneficial to firefighters should an emergency occur.
Its really beneficial to the volunteers that they continue to do the fire inspections, he said, adding it helps give members of the department a familiarity with the interiors of the structures.
Mr. Miller also said that by switching from a flat rate to a rate based on a buildings square footage, the town is more in line with not only the village but other communities in the area.
Code Enforcement Officer Peter T. Devine said the fees are similar to what other communities in the county are charging and slightly less than what Potsdam charges.
Everything is more expensive in Potsdam, Mr. Gray said. Their taxes are higher, too.
The new fees will start at $25 for a building up to 1,000 square feet. A building between 1,000 and 3,000 square feet will be $50, and a building between 3,001 and 10,000 square feet will cost $100 to be inspected.
A building between 10,001 and 50,000 square feet will cost $150 to inspect, with a building between 50,001 and 100,000 square feet billed $200, and buildings over 100,001 square feet would be charged $500, with an additional $50 charged for each additional 10,000 square feet.
The initial inspection fee includes one follow-up inspection.
Additional inspections are $25 for buildings up to 3,000 square feet, $30 for buildings between 3,001 and 10,000 square feet, $40 for buildings 10,001 to 50,000 square feet, $50 for buildings 50,001 to 100,000 square feet and $100 for buildings over 100,000 square feet.

How to Remove Gator
What is Gator?
Gator is your smart online companion that fills out forms and remembers passwords. Gator comes with the OfferCompanion application, the premier application for saving money on the web. Yet Gator and OfferCompanion are extremely polite, staying out of sight, popping up only when they can help you.
Although Gator isn't much of a nuisance, it does fall into a group of software known as spyware, sending information about buying habits, etc. for information purposes. For this reason, many people won't use it and want to remove it. The Gator company recently changed their name to Claria.
How to I Remove Gator?
1) Right click on the Gator icon in the System Tray and click on Exit.
2) From the Windows Start button select Settings and then Control Panel.
3) When the Control Panel window opens, double-click on the Add/Remove Programs icon.
4) When the Add/Remove Programs Properties window opens, locate Gator in the list of installed programs. Click on it one time and then click on the Add/Remove button.
5) Follow the on screen instructions.
Place a check in the box for "Delete User Information" if you want user information removed from the Registry. DO NOT place a check in this box if you want the user data retained for a new install of Gator.
This will remove the Gator program from your computer.
Although the above instructions will remove the Gator E-Wallet information, you may still have GAIN (Gator Advertiser Information Network) software installed. GAIN helps keep many popular software applications and services free in exchange for delivering ads, information, and software based on the web sites you view.
Unfortunately, GAIN can only be removed by uninstalling the GAIN supported application. You cannot uninstall GAIN directly. Once the GAIN supported application has been uninstalled, GAIN will uninstall itself as well.
To see the GAIN supported applications on your computer, click on the following link and then continue down the page and click on the link to show you the GAIN support apps on your computer.

Fashion is full of torturous trends-corsets, pointy pumps, daisy dukes-but though uncomfortable items are decidedly de rigueur, they're not the only game in town. In fact, lately we're obsessed with an article of clothing that is decidedly relaxed and amazingly soft, yet still manages to be totally and utterly chic: silky pants! And thanks to a few high-profile designers and some noteworthy industry insiders-including Margherita Missoni and Glamour.com's Susan Cernek-silky pants are moving beyond the bedroom and finally seeing the light of the day as one of fall's hottest fashion essentials. Throw in a lively print, and you've got yourself a standout piece that works for both casual and dressy affairs!
Before we head out to the streets and into some of fashion's most exclusive parties for some "how they wear" reporting, we'd like to start today's story where most trends begin: on the runways, specifically, the Tommy Hilfiger F/W 11 show! The king of prep showcased a handful of tops-and-trousers combos that were slinky, silky, and unquestionably sophisticated. We were particularly pleased with the way Hilfiger incorporated some notable fall accents into the ensembles-like teaming the Kyon Pajama Top ($248, 212.223.1824) and Theresa Pajama Pants ($298, 212.223.1824) with a pony hair hat (left) and the Karolina Foulard Tie-Front Button Blouse ($248, 212.223.1824) with navy pea coat (right)-to prevent the silky separates from feeling like sleepwear. Instead, the resulting outfits are easygoing, fashion-forward evening options that are perfect for parties!
Now, we know that head-to-toe printed silk can be a bit much for some, in which case we recommend following in the fashionable footsteps of Amanda Brooks, Barneys New York's Fashion Director, and Hanneli Mustparta, model/photographer/blogger extraordinaire. Both aficionados paired their statement-making pants with neutral accents for a more wearable, everyday approach. Brooks executed this look with ease at the launch party for The Row's handbag collection last month, when she wore Giulietta's Polka Dot Silk Crepe Pants ($632.50) and Simple Shirt ($437) in Salmon with a long-strap Mini Twin Ostrich Bag ($4700) by The Row. The simple nude top tempers the playful print, keeping the overall outfit chic and, most importantly, unfussy. Mustparta, on the other hand, demonstrated a more casual take on the styling trick earlier this year at New York Fashion Week, when she paired her vintage Christian Lacroix trousers with a white Jil Sander for Uniqlo tank and tan Whyred boots.
Of course, if you're seeking a more high-impact approach you can always pair you silky pants with an equally vivid top or standout print. Susan Cernek-Glamour.com's Executive Fashion & Beauty Editor-had the right idea when she paired Zara's Wide Printed Trousers ($30) with a silky cobalt blue Lanvin top from the brand's denim line and a teal Anya Hindmarch bag for the magazine's August cover celebration. The combination of bright colors feels so right for summer, while the luxurious fabrics are perfectly in keeping with today's trend, making it an excellent transitional look. We're also fans of the way Fearne Cotton wore her silky pants while out and about in London a few months ago. We love how she grounded her dressy George pants with a laidback Levi's denim jacket, and were particularly pleased with her decision to add another print into the mix with Kurt Geiger's leopard Lucille Heels ($319) for quirky-yet-stylish finish. If you want to take your look even further, we suggest looking to Margherita Missoni for some on-point guidance. For her red-carpet appearance at the Elizabeth Arden Design Special Project during Milan Fashion Week earlier this year, the tastemaker teamed her zig-zag-print wide-leg Missoni pants from the S/S 11 collection with a crop top and multi-colored knit jacket (also from Missoni S/S 11), and the resulting ensemble was quite memorable, to say the least.
Are you ready to slip into what might be this season's most comfortable trend? We thought so, and as such, have rounded up a few of our favorite silky pants for your purchasing pleasure! Topping our must-have list is Topshop Boutique's Green Trousers ($180), which feature a pretty oriental print and cool ombre color effect, and the perfect-for-summer Peony Print Silk Wide Leg Trousers ($200), also by Topshop Boutique. While fans of Cernek's trousers can still pick up her exact pair, those who enjoyed Tommy Hilfiger's covetable pants-and who didn't?-will definitely want to snag Zara's more affordable Drawstring Printed Trousers ($20) before it's too late! Additionally, we adore Forever 21's Mod Wide Leg Pants ($20); its fun psychedelic print seems like something Rachel Zoe might wear. Finally, if your prefer more muted tones, we recommend taking a look at Whistles' Rope Print Wide Leg Pants ($215), Seventh Wonderland's Estelle Floral-Print Silk-Twill Pants ($245), and Waverly Grey's Wide-Leg Pants ($148), all of which would look smart worn with neutral accents.-Jessica Baker

AMHERST, N.Y.-Daemen College is taking a giant step forward in athletics. The Wildcats are moving from the NAIA to the NCAA.
Its a three year process for William to become an NCAA division II school. Wildcats athletic director William Morriswas notified by email Friday morning that the Wildcats application for NCAA Division II status has been accepted.
This season Daemen enters phase one of the process. Its known as Candidacy Year 1, followed by Candidacy 2 in 2013-14. In the third year the transition is known as a provisional year. In that year the Wildcatswilldrop their other national affiliations and will comply with NCAA requirements.
Morris told Two On Your Side's Stu Boyar Friday "to make the jump from NAIA to NCAA is pretty big. Not everyone knows the NAIA and what it stands for, but everybody knows the blue disc and the NCAA, so as a whole for the institution it's going to be great things ahead for us."
Daemen joins the ranks of the NCAA division II schools in the 2015-16 academic year.

Is their no one else who uses this.
I recommend it for new users as well as seasoned pro's.
It is stable, Yast makes it easy to keep it up to date and it is a lot faster than 9.1 which I was using before.
I tried Mandy & Fedora but neither of them liked my mobo.

A group of tennis enthusiasts served up their plans on Monday night to the Watertown City Council to build indoor tennis courts on city-owned land at the Fairgrounds Y.
Stressing the project is still in the planning stage, Cyril Mouaikel has been leading a community campaign since last summer to help raise money for indoor tennis courts that would be added to the Fairgrounds Y building, 585 Rand Drive. So far, donors have pledged about half of the $400,000 needed for the project.
The project needs the approval from council members to either sell the land or lease it to the group. It also needs the state Legislature to pass home-rule legislation, since it deals with selling or leasing land in a public park.
On Monday night, council members did not make any promises to the group, saying they need to figure out how the tennis courts would affect city Parks and Recreation Department plans for land behind the existing Y building and its effects on other programs.
Saying he recognizes the need for indoor courts, Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham said, We need some discussions with parks staff and the city manager to see what they think.
About 20 tennis players and enthusiasts attended Monday nights work session. The U.S. Tennis Association recently met with the group, indicating it liked the project and might contribute funding, organizer James W. Newell said.
Under the proposal, the group would be responsible for raising the money and then the Y would operate the courts. The Ys board of directors has yet to take any action on the plans.
Two indoor courts would be constructed on the back of the Y building, near the existing horse arena, Mr. Mouaikel said. It would also be used by high school teams.
The mayor noted that parents of hockey players and other athletes also believe their children have particular needs from the city.
We have the need and the solution and the financing, Mr. Mouaikel said.
Councilman Joseph M. Butler told the group he would like the city to help with the project if it can.
The mayor and Councilwoman Roxanne M. Burns had said they had not heard about the project until an article appeared in the Watertown Daily Times.
Mr. Mouaikel, RBC Wealth Management branch director, started his campaign almost immediately after Stebbins Engineering and Manufacturing Co. purchased the Watertown Health & Racquet Club, 431 Eastern Blvd., and turned it last year into a storage building for construction equipment. He had used the indoor courts there and wants to see indoor courts back in the community.

CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. - Cheektowaga Police have arrested a UPS worker who is accused of stealing silver bars and other goods shipped via UPS, the department announced on Friday.
The man who was arrested is a 26 year old resident of Alaska Street in the town of Cheektowaga. His name was not immediately released.
He is charged with third-degree felony grand larceny and felony criminal possession of stolen property. Sources say the man gave a confession to police. More charges are pending based on the actual amount of the stolen goods. Police will only say the items stolen are worth thousands of dollars.
Police say the UPS worker would take packages and re-route them to his home address.
Dan McMackin, UPS Spokesman told 2 On Your Side in a statement, "police have arrested a UPS employee on suspicion of theft. UPS is cooperating with local police and is in the midst of an investigation, therefore we cannot share any additional details. UPS takes the issue of integrity very seriously."
The man arrested is not being identified at this time. However, his attorney said he has no criminal history and was released after his arraignment in Cheektowaga Town Court.

February is Black History Month. As those on the Right (and even an increasing number of people elsewhere) know well enough, these four weeks are all too easily used by activists as an opportunity to promote a politics of victimhood congenial to a leftist agenda.
The famed black writer — and conservative — Zora Neale Hurston, frustrates this program.
Born in the early 1890s in the lower South, Hurston would one day join the ranks of those black writers who became associated with "the Harlem Renaissance." Unlike most of her colleagues, however, she staunchly rejected the communism and socialism with which they sympathized.
Hurston resented the efforts of black and white intellectuals alike to make of black Americans a new proletariat, a victim class perpetually in need of an all-encompassing national government to ease their lot. Hurston was adamant that she was "not tragically colored." She insisted that "no great sorrow" lies "damned up in my soul, lurking behind my eyes," and she placed a world of distance between herself and "the sobbing school of negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal and whose feelings are hurt about it."
For what contemporary black commentator Larry Elder refers to as the "victicrats" among us, Hurston had zero use. "Someone is always at my elbow reminding me that I am the granddaughter of slaves," she remarked. Much to their chagrin, though, "it fails to register depression with me." Furthermore, she stated bluntly that "slavery is the price I paid for civilization."
Our increasingly joyless generation is oblivious to another of Hurston's insights: A sense of humor can bear most, if not all, painful things. Regarding racial discrimination, she noted that while she "sometimes [feels] discriminated against," she does not get "angry" about it. Rather, the experience "merely astonishes me," for how, Hurston asked, "can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It's beyond me."

|1451st welcomed home
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Monday, 07 May 2007 04:59
Tears and smiles greeted the North Carolina Army National Guard 1451st Transportation Company as they returned to the High Country.
In Iraq since last May, the team returned Saturday, just in time to meet crowds of well-wishers at a welcome home ceremony Sunday at Watauga County High School. Some, like 8-year-old James Padgett, whose stepfather just returned home, were more excited than others to see the soldiers return.He almost knocked his sister down trying to get to soldier Randy Miller.

Others took their appreciation a step further. Boone Mayor Loretta Clawson expressed the town's appreciation by asking the 1451st company to marshal the July 4th parade.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><!--[endif]-->Speakers like N.C. State Senator Steve Goss and N.C.

Foxx told soldiers she hoped they would see nothing but gratitude for their actions.
The company traveled over 1 million miles and earned 17 Army Achievement Medals, 117 Army Commendation Medals, 3 Meritorious Service Medals and 24 Bronze Star Medals. The company completed 451 missions. With home-made signs and waving flags, the High Country made its appreciation known.

Comments about Marmot Tempo Jacket 2011 (Men's):
This is an excellent lightweight softshell. It's good for weather above 60 degrees and excellent in rain. I use it for jogging because the breathability and weight make it great for outdoor activities. You can also use as a baselayer under a heavy, warmer coat. I have used it underneath a snowboard jacket and it's good for that too.
I have been buying Marmot now for a few years now and they have never let me down. The price is not over the top like Arcteryx and it's just slightly more expensive than North Face. Great for hiking, cycling or backpacking, very easy to fold in a backpack. It's not very warm, I use it as a baselayer for winter and best for use above 60 degrees. Under that, you could get away with it if you're doing intense activities which make you sweat and you don't want to go with just a t-shirt.
So if you're tired of seeing North Face on every high school kid, wannabe rapper or Tom, Dick & Harry, Marmot is your best option. They're not ridiculously overpriced like Arcteryx and their prices are slightly more expensive than TNF. Plus I like their more traditional, classy look opposed to TNF's baggier, "youth oriented" look.

Select shots from the Fire's friendly with Tottenham Hotspur presented by MiAllstate.
Tottenham Hotspur rode a brace from Emmanuel Adebayor as well as an own goal to a 3-1 win over Swansea in Barclay's Premier League action on Sunday. Adebayor opened the scoring in the 35th minute off of a header served from Christian Ericksen to take Spurs into the break up 1-0.
An own goal on the other side of halftime from Swansea defender Chico made it 2-0 before Adebayor tapped in his second of the day as Danny Rose's cutback from the left in the 71st minute.
Swansea pulled a goal back late through Wilfried Bony in the 78th but it was too little too late as Spurs manager Tim Sherwood earned his fifth win in seven Premier League matches since taking over the side on December 16.
The result moves Spurs to fifth in the Barclay's Premier League, level on points with fourth place Liverpool as they ready to welcome second place Manchester City to White Hart Lane on Wednesday.

Well its the last day of the year and we're aptly left remembering all that went down in the Fire world during 2012.
A new jersey sponsor, a Ring of Fire induction, a 15th Anniversary, playoff qualification and a Rookie of the Year winner are just some of the highlights.
Take a photographic look back on the club's memorable 15th season:
Stay tuned on Tuesday as I give my New Year's Resolutions for the Fire in 2013!
While Fire first teamers Sean Johnson, Marco Pappa and Orr Barouch all take to the field for their national sides Wednesday, another player in the club will be part of an international friendly as well.
Meet Reid Strain. A member of the 2012 Chicago Fire U18 Youth Academy side that went 26-1-1 en route to the 2012 U.S. Club Soccer National Championship, the Barrington, Ill. product has joined the Puerto Rican national team for Wednesday's friendly against Spain in Bayamon.
Eligible for Puerto Rico through his mother, Strain missed the U18 Youth Academy's run at last month's U.S. Club Soccer National championships after being called up for the territory's U-20 CONCACAF World Championship qualifying matches.
"He was very reluctant to play for the U-20 Puerto Rican national team when he got the call up last month," said Chicago Fire U18 Youth Academy head coach Paul Cadwell. "He didn't want to miss the national championships with his Fire team so it took some talking to him from his parents and from myself to encourage him to not miss such an opportunity."
In those games, the forward tallied two goals, both game winners, in 2-0 victories over Barbados and Bermuda. A 0-0 draw in the group finale vs. Haiti pushed Puerto Rico to a second-place finish on goal difference but advanced the side to the final round of CONCACAF's Caribbean U-20 Finals – the first time a Puerto Rican team has made it out of its qualifying group in and youth tournament.
The finals will be played November 3-11 in Jamaica and with his role in the previous matches as well as being the only uncapped player called up for Wednesday's friendly vs. Spain, it's a good bet Strain will play a part.
Why haven't we heard more of Strain until now?
"Unfortunately, Reid has been plagued by an ankle injury the last 18 months," said U18 Youth Academy Head Coach Paul Cadwell. It's one of the reasons he didn't make our Fall [U.S. Soccer Development] Academy team. We didn't get the ability to get a good look at him but he's a great youth player for us this season. He has shown the ability to score a variety of goals."
I'm very proud of Reid at having the opportunity to play against the world's number one team is a dream. Whether he sees the field or not, just the fact that he is going be listed in a squad that plays the current world and European champions is something that he will never forget."
Sometime shortly before kick-off when the Fire host Aston Villa this Saturday evening, the captains from the two sides will meet at midfield, shake hands, and exchange small pennants with each other. It's a routine we've seen countless times before when two teams from different nations meet in competition. But does anyone actually know what happens to the banners after their two seconds of fame?
Charlie Raycroft does.
Raycroft, the team's equipment manager since 2003, is also the Fire's unofficial keeper of the pennants. In his office (which doubles as the team's equipment room) hang dozens of club banners, ranging from England's Manchester United (from last year's friendly) to Mexico's Tigres UANL (2009 Superliga).
"Any international match we play, we usually do a captain's banner for it," said Raycroft, who also created the design for the Fire's banner. He added that it is similar for domestic Cup matches like the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, and the exchange has been appearing more often even in regular season MLS matches, as more teams adopt the tradition.
However, Raycroft admitted that more work typically goes into the international ones, to "mark the occasion, have a little bit of history [and] make them more special."
"It's basically the same design for each match," he said. "[But] for matches like the Aston Villa match, or the Manchester United match, or the Open Cup we try to put the date, the location, the opponent. For MLS matches we have just a generic one with no date on it."
Another interesting note is that it's not always just one banner -- often times, teams will create duplicates for the same match. So in addition to those hanging in the equipment room, Raycroft said there are extras that are displayed around the club, or given to the team president or owner if they request one.
"[But if there are no duplicates] and if they come in and want any of these, I guess they can take them," he added with a laugh.
There is just one more part of the banner's story that is undisclosed: how does it get from the the captain to the equipment room? Surely it must be an epic journey, right?
Alas, Raycroft says it's pretty simple in reality.
"He just walks over, and I try to meet him part of the way, get it and just put it in the bag until they come inside."
