A 26-year-old Toledo man has been arrested in connection with a home invasion of an Ida Township home Tuesday afternoon.
Monroe County Sheriff Dale Malone reported a home was burglarized in the 6800 block of Secor Rd. The suspect was taken into custody about 30 minutes after the home invasion.
At about 1:19 p.m. Tuesday, the homeowner and her daughter arrived home to see a red Pontiac Grand Am bearing an Ohio registration plate parked in their driveway. They observed a white male emerge from the home carrying property stolen from inside.
There was a brief conversation between the homeowner and the suspect in the driveway before the suspect attempted to flee in the Grand Am. The suspect attempted to drive around the victim's vehicle, but in the process, became stuck in the snow. The suspect then fled on foot through a set of woods to the south, the sheriff said in a press release.
A description of the suspect was obtained and broadcast to converging Monroe County sheriff deputies and state police troopers. A perimeter was established and a short while later, and less than a mile away, a man was apprehended by a state police K-9 unit.
Property stolen from the home was recovered. The man was lodged in the Monroe County Jail on home invasion charges.
The case remains under investigation by the sheriff's office. Detectives are attempting to determine if other home invasions in the area may have connected.
Anyone with information is asked to call 240-7700.

A guy named Steve created a LiveJournal Valentine system, which send valentine e-mails only if both parties select the other person. Naturally, Ian and I exchanged valentines, and Aargh! "You were also nominated by 1 user(s) who you didn't select." who? Who? WHO? The mystery will drive me mad, MAD I say! (I'm also slightly ticked because when I first filled it out, it was limited to three valentines per person, and there were four people I wanted to send greetings to. Apparently sometime yesterday, they upped the quota to five and I didn't know. Waah.) [Added slightly later: Okay, according to the statistics, 3742 users participated, and there were only 705 matches. Now, there's a surefire way to create a whole lotta LJDrama in a single bound.]
I also sent Ian an ecard for Valentine's Day. I won't violate Darby Conley's copyright by reproducing it here, but you can see the artwork on the original site. I love my husband.
First comes love, eventually comes a baby in the baby carriage. Here's a fun science/genetics news story: Genghis Khan made out like a bandit -- literally!
And for sheer silliness, how about this list of games that are no fun? Grand Theft Amish Buggy, Frogger - the Live Action Role Playing Game, Twister for the colour-blind...
Not much news of late. Schoolwork is picking up, and I'm focusing more on that then the wider web world. Also, the other day I printed out my main journal page (Monday, February 03 -- Monday, February 10) and I had written 24 pages, not including the two entries of additional rambles. That's a lot of writing.
Last night, the Athenaeum held a special showing of Another Thin Man. As Ian mentions in his journal, also attending was Christopher Kimball of Cook's Illustrated & America's Test Kitchen. Ian got his autograph at the end, and I imagined a very silly parody story...
After being arrested for the murder of his wife, Christopher Kimball escaped from prison to hunt down the real killer -- the one armed man. On the run from the law, Kimball still finds time to help desperate people with their kitchen condundrums:
WOMAN: Oh, no... nothing I cook is turning out and my big dinner party starts in only a few hours!
CHRISTOPHER KIMBALL: Here, let me help you. What you need to do is...
WOMAN: Oh, thank you kind stranger! I never would've gotten this done in time without you.
CHRISTOPHER KIMBALL: My pleasure. Just don't forget to lower the temperature midway through.
(doorbell rings)
WOMAN (Offscreen): Lt. Gerard! I'm so glad you were able to stop by while you were in town. Let me get your coat. Dinner's almost ready.
CHRISTOPHER KIMBALL: Drat. I forgot to ask who she invited to dinner. I must get away before he finds me. (leaves through back door)
WOMAN: Where did he go?
LT. GERARD: He escaped my clutches again. But I couldn't possibly leave before I've eaten of this wonderful meal.
And this cat story made me laugh so loudly that tears came to my eyes.
The New York Times has a fun story on the evolution of the Darwin fish, along with a more serious piece on the city's refusal to allow political marches (thanks Jeremy!)
Scary article on the Bush deficit by Eleanor Clift (originally seen on History News Network):
Poring over Bush?s budget documents in his Capitol Hill townhouse one evening this week, [ranking Democrat on the Senate Budget Committee, Kent] Conrad couldn?t believe what he was seeing: mushrooming deficits that peak just when the baby-boom generation begins to retire. That means government spending on Social Security and Medicare will increase when government debt is at its highest.
?It is nuts, stone-cold nuts,? Conrad said in an interview with NEWSWEEK. ?And they?re not nuts, and they?re not stupid. They?re smart people, and they know what we know, that the deficit will explode when federal expenditures peak. And that?s when I had this revelation: the only rationale for what they?re doing is that they plan to fundamentally gut Social Security and Medicare.?...Conrad is convinced that the debt Bush is piling up will threaten the country?s long-term economic security, and that Social Security and Medicare will not survive. Privately, Republicans say Conrad is right, but with a caveat. Social Security and Medicare cannot survive in their current form. Under the guise of reform, both programs will have to adapt to the budget realities.
And that's about all I have time to write for now. It has now been 513 days since President Bush said all we want is Osama brought to justice, dead or alive, and 312 days since American citizen Jose Padilla was placed in a military prison for an indefinite period of time without charge, trial or due process of law.
PS: Although I set the VCR for Buffy, for some reason it didn't go off and didn't tape the episode. Does anyone have a videotape of last night's Buffy that I could borrow? Pleeease! It's sweeps month!
Oliver Willis found a funny one: A box of pornography addressed to Ashcroft was found at a federal courthouse on Saturday. Officers called in the bomb squad, which exploded the box. I know Ashcroft seems to get a hard-on over being a law-and-order toughguy, but isn't he carrying this fetish a little too far, especially when he's indulging in it on our dime?
[I'm trying to avoid the obvious jokes about blow-up dolls, but really, wouldn't handcuffs be sufficient?]
Ooh my. Hesiod has an interesting link about the unemployment numbers. It looks like the Bush administration's fuzzy math goes beyond just budgetary shenanigans.
Daily Kos links to a Washington Post article that says Bush's upcoming push to "appear as concerned ... on the economy ... is a defensive public relations move ... [T]he White House will stage a series of speeches and events designed to show presidential sympathy..." In other words, don't be fooled. It's all an ACT!
Finally, this quiz result should be completely unsurprising to anyone who knows me: What's your sexual appeal?
And speaking of thirst for knowledge, I should probably head off for school. Ta for now!
Is it just me, or does Condition Orange sound like a new soft drink?As usual, Clay Bennett nails it. Yes, it is very similar to South Knox Bubba's graphic. Clay's cartoon has slightly less bite (probably in part because he's got editors to answer to), but will get much wider circulation. I congratulate him on his efforts.
But don't get too worried about that Orange alert. Thinking it through quotes from a Washington Post article: "[O]thers with access to the intelligence upon which the alert was based said it was largely an effort to make sure government officials could not be blamed for not warning Americans, as they were after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. "That's what this whole process is about," said one well-placed intelligence source. They said the information was voluminous but not specific."
Speaking of cartoons, This Modern World's Outrage overload really struck a nerve. I'm trying to maintain an even keel, but sometimes it gets hard to do so. Fortunately(?), I didn't sleep well last night, so the exhaustion is making me calmer about these news stories than I might otherwise be.
In the political news, if you haven't already heard, the organization United for Peace and Justice wants to hold an anti-war march past the United Nations next Saturday (Feb. 15). They've been planning this for a while, but the City of New York refuses to give them the appropriate permits. They're allowed to hold a rally (standing still) but not a march. Ruminate This has some good information about the case. There's also an online petition if you're into such things.[Don't get me started on that stupid New York Sun editorial!Personally, I'm now regretting my advance purchase of Boskone membership for this weekend, as I think I'd rather go add my face/voice to the crowds.
By the way, that poison factory that Colin Powell was showing all those photos of at the U.N. last week, may not be. The New York Times has also visited the facility. DailyKos also brings up the following point:
[D]uring the press conference this morning from Iraq summing up the two-day meetings between the weapons inspectors and Iraqi officials, it came out that the Iraqis offered to have this technical discussion months ago with the UN to answer unresolved questions since the 1998 inspections ceased. According to General Al Saadi, it was the UN that rejected such face to face meetings with the Iraqis until the inspectors were readmitted; hence the meetings this week. Yet earlier on the Wolf Blitzer Late Edition program on CNN, two of his guests, former inspector David Albright and Ken Pollock, author of The Gathering Storm, said that this late-in-coming effort by Iraq to address these questions and provide documents was a reason to go to war, regardless of whether or not the Iraqis ultimately answer the questions adequately.
In essence, even if the Iraqis ultimately can prove that they have accounted for the post-1998 inventory, the fact that they took so long is enough reason to go in, notwithstanding the fact that the Iraqis just stated, with no contradiction from the inspectors, that they offered to have this technical discussions months ago but were stopped by the UN.
Though I'm trying to find the President's exact wording, Road to Surfdom quotes a CNN article which says "But President Bush, speaking at a Republican retreat in West Virginia, said a change of heart [by Iraq] was "not good enough."" Though it should surprise nobody reading this, this administration seems damned and determined to go to war, no matter what the cost or how flimsy the evidence.
But don't worry about that, the Bush administration is already prepared to capitalize upon victory. No, sorry, we're not talking about plans for ensuring a successful peace, but closer to home.In the Washington Post, E.J. Dionne writes about Bush's budget. "Conservatives acknowledge that Bush's long-term goal is to reduce the federal government's capacity to act -- yes, to spend -- without saying so publicly. The large tax cuts the president has put on the table, conservative columnist Donald Lambro wrote candidly this week, "are, in effect, Mr. Bush's stealth initiative to curb future spending -- big time." Exactly. And if you look carefully, most of the spending cuts will be in programs for the poor and near-poor." That's unsurprising; I've said it myself.But look at the political calculations: "Reports out of the White House indicate that the administration hopes to use a quick victory in Iraq to push through this radical agenda." Yeah, that's why we need a war -- so the President can sneak in his far-right agenda while we're either distracted or celebrating. Remember last month's quote from former Bush advisor, John DiIulio: "What you've got is everythingand I mean everythingbeing run by the political arm. It's the reign of the Mayberry Machiavellis" [Seen on Thinking it through]
But that's enough politics for now. Let's think happier thoughts:
Road to Surfdom makes a beautifully poetic analogy: I guess if blogging was music it'd be jazz, with its endless borrowing and quoting, riffing and improvisation. It's too loose to be formalised in the way of classical music, or even of pop or rock music, but it nonetheless is not so undiciplined that anything goes.
And Clay Shirky makes some interesting points about the social aspects of weblogging. A while back, I read Malcolm Gladwell's Tipping Point. I knew then that I wasn't what he calls a Connector, but believe I may be a Maven.
Constitutional law professor Jack Balkin suggests that Eldred v. Ashcroft may not be so bad in the longrun, comparing it to Bowers v. Hardwick from 1986. [Read Part 1 and Part 2.]
So, much of the weekend I spent writing. For those who just joined this journal, in early January I had an idea for a novella-length Harry Potter fanfic. Over Arisia, I outlined the general plot, and I've been gradually filling my steno pad and imagination with notes and dialog-snips and sometimes full-blown scenes. On Sunday, I revised Chapters 1 & 2, and finished off my first draft of Chapter 3. That makes nearly 10,000 words so far, plus another 3,000 or so from later scenes in the story. I feel somewhat silly acknowledging that I write Harry Potter fanfic, but this is the first major fiction I've written since my thesis twelve years ago.
By the way, I'm still trying to fix my e-mail problems. If you get errors sending me e-mails, please let me know through the comments box here. Every time I think I fixed one segment, another starts to go wrong. And if anyone reading this has a strong familiarity with DNS and MX and wants to help me out, I've got a few Delivery Failure messages I could use help deciphering.

2.5 weeks on the Andaman Coast

I am heading to Koh Lanta tomorrow from Trang and have a night booked at the Thai House Beach Resort. I don't like to book places in advance but I called a few places on Long Beach on Lanta that either said they were full or had expensive (1000 baht) bungalows. I got a fan bungalow at the Thai House Beach Resort for 700 baht and will look around when I get there to see if I can find anything else.
I have to be back in Bangkok on February and was looking for ideas on where to head from Koh Lanta (in case I don't decide to stay there the whole time!) One idea was to head to Koh Lipe and spend some time in the islands around there (Koh Bulon Lae) and another idea was to head to Koh Jum and then maybe Phang Nga Bay, Koh Phi Phi... I am looking for some beaches with really clear water (and some nightlife) which is what attracted me to Koh Lipe but would ideally like a bungalow in the 500-800 baht range (not sure this is easy during high season in the Andamans). Any ideas on where to head after Lanta?

Ko Jum/Phangna Bay/Lipe would be a good combo from the point of view of transport cost and time (I'd do Phi Phi after Lanta and go to Phang Nga via Krabi) but except for Phi Phi the other two aint extactly known for really clear water or night-life. Any island close to the mainland won't have very clear water.
So yeah, your idea of Lipe is a good one. Pattaya beach there is Lady Tezza's favourite precisely on account of the clear water with fishies and bits of coral in the swimming enclosure adjacent Varin resort. You are right in the difficulty of finding accommodation under 1000 in the Andaman these days - but have a look at travelfish's associated Agoda booking site - I saw several joints when booking for early March. Failing that I reckon Porn resort on Sunset Beach will always have their overflow tents for busy times.
Two other islands with clear water on the way down to Lipe are Ngai and Kradan. But accommodation here will be over 1000 unless you take one of Camping's tents on Ngai. This place tends to get a bit lively at night but apart from that these two islands are kinda like Bulon, Adang and Taratao near Lipe in that they are more laid back and you will have to rely on the luck of having some lively guests wherever you are staying.

STILLWATER, OK – The new CS-Series component speaker systems from Kicker are designed with the installer in mind with easy-fitting, more manageable components.
The CS Component Systems are made to fit in more vehicles than any previous Kicker components. Installers will find the CS-Series easily workable, with reduced mounting depths on woofer baskets that simply drop into any size of cutout.
Physical footprints of the external, two-way crossovers have been reduced for more mounting options, and they still feature the adjustable, three-position tweeter attenuation for dialing in high frequencies. And for the first time from Kicker, a 6×9-inch woofer set is being offered as a fourth component model in the series.
The 20mm titanium-dome tweeters are optimized to fit any vehicle in a flush, surface or angled mount. They are designed with zero diffraction and less reflection compared to any previous speaker system.
The woofers guarantee a significant upgrade in sound over a stock system. Phase plugs eliminate any distortion for utmost clarity and
accuracy. Reliable, heavy-duty motor structures deliver remarkable bass response and the smoothest midrange frequencies using EVC
(Extended Voice Coil) technology, sturdy polypropylene cones and ribbed, UV-treated surrounds.
CS-Series Component Systems are available in four models, including the newest CSS69 with 6×9-inch woofers. Also available are the
CSS65 with 6-1/2-inch woofers, CSS67 featuring 6-3/4-inch woofers, and CSS68 featuring 6×8-inch woofers for factory cutouts in specific
makes of vehicle.

Why Cisco paid $475m for Intucell
Jan 24, 2013 (Globes - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- The man who signed the check to acquire Intucell Ltd. yesterday was Cisco Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: CSCO) CEO John Chambers, but four-year-old Intucell owes its phenomenal success to someone else entirely. He is John Donovan, EVP technology and network operations at AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T).
Although AT&T has one of the greatest foundations of innovation the world has ever known -- Bell Labs -- the company apparently decided it needed greater efforts and a change in its corporate culture to inject new processes and technologies to improve its performance.
Donovan, who joined the company in 2008, was behind the initiative to establish three innovation centers under the name of AT&T Foundry: one in Texas, one in Silicon Valley in California, and one in Ra'anana, Israel. In early 2011, Intucell co-founder and CEO Rani Wellingstein came to the Ra'anana Foundry to attend a round of get-to-know meetings Donovan held with Israeli communications start-ups. The meeting was apparently so impressive that Donovan decided almost immediately to adopt Intucell's solution for optimizing mobile networks. A year later, he helped Intucell secure an agreement with AT&T worth tens of millions of dollars, which was ultimately responsible for bringing Intucell to the attention of Cisco, and for Cisco's willingness to pay the hefty sum of $475 million for it.
"Our interest in this company is a combination of its technology, which is extraordinary in the sector, and the speed of its deployment at AT&T, which is exceptional," says Micha Porat, who is responsible at Cisco for investment and acquisitions of solutions for mobile carriers. "This amounted to a stamp of approval for us about the company's capability and affirmed our assumption that it is possible to scale up these solutions massively. The agreement with AT&T was very significant in many ways, including financially, of course. This is the only company in the world with a technology deployment in this field on a large network." Wellingstein's career has for years been in the telecommunications equipment industry, but this is not enough to explain the deal with Cisco. He joined ECI Telecom Ltd. in the late 1990s, when it acquired a NKO, an IP telephony company where he worked. At ECI, he was in contact with service providers in North America, where he may have acquired his knowledge about building companies. In 2000, he and three others co-founded Celltick Technologies, a mobile broadcast solutions developer.
In 2008, Wellingstein teamed with Ido Susan to found Intucell. Susan, now 26, is a big mystery. In fact, very big -- at 26, he will make NIS 300 million before taxes. Intucell operates in the services vendor space, although it entered the field from a completely different direction from Wellingstein's previous companies. Intucell provides self-organizing network (SON) solutions to optimize network performance automatically. The company's technology -- smart software based on algorithms -- enables mobile carriers to tune their networks in real time on the basis of user demand and network traffic.
The huge growth in data traffic by mobile phone users, especially video and other multimedia content, forces mobile carriers to deal with extraordinary loads on their equipment. Coping with this load, which has become critical with the introduction of 4G, LTE and higher networks, means trying to balance network loads while dealing with bottlenecks. Some solutions help mobile carriers by channeling traffic to parallel networks, such as WiFi or fiber optics where possible, while others deal with the problem through more sophisticated traffic management.
Reducing loads The change Intucell made at AT&T apparently did the trick. In a report a few months ago about initiatives adopted by the company, it said that Intucell's solutions helped it reduce traffic overload at communications towers by 15 percent. This was apparently good enough: Intucell added more than ten service providers as customers, in addition to AT&T.
The acquisition is an important step for Cisco, not just strategically, but also geographically. Cisco has three acquisition options: buying a new platform for billions of dollars, such as NDS; buying products for hundreds of millions of dollars; and buying quality personnel and/or intellectual property. Most of its acquisitions in Israel over the years -- nine since 2005 -- belong to the third category. The acquisition of Intucell is somewhere between the first and second category.
Cisco is acquiring a key platform for strategic entry into a new market where Alcatel-Lucent SA (NYSE; Euronext: ALU), Ericsson (OMX; Nasdaq: ERIC) and other companies are the leaders. Doing this in Israel is part of a decision to restore its Israeli center to the center of operations at the company. "The acquisition will create a critical mass here," says Cisco VP corporate development Yoav Samet. "Israel now has more and more opportunities to create an important footprint for the company. This demonstrates that we make are making a real bet on our center in Israel." Cisco corporate development manager Tal Slobodkin says, "This is a new group, which we intend to invest in to turn it into something very significant for Cisco." ___ (c)2013 the Globes (Tel Aviv, Israel) Visit the Globes (Tel Aviv, Israel) at www.globes.co.il/serveen/globes/nodeview.asp fid=942 Distributed by MCT Information Services

Saving Money On Fuel
With the price of avgas at record highs, here are some thoughts on getting the most out of your budget
I was told when I bought my first single-engine airplane back in the last century that I could estimate my total hourly operating cost by multiplying fuel expense by three. In those days, I flew a Globe Swift that burned six gallons an hour. Fuel was only about 70 cents per gallon as I remember, so I figured my fuel cost at $4.20 per hour and total cost to operate the Swift at a whopping $13 per hour, an intimidating number in those days." />
There are only three ways to reduce fuel expense (other than giving up flying altogether). One is to make the airplane fly faster on the same amount of fuel; the second is to fly the same speed on less fuel; and the third is to reduce the time en route between point of departure and destination by planning a more efficient flight. Implement all three methods, and you're almost guaranteed to see a significant reduction in your fuel bill.
Flying faster has been a goal of practically every pilot since the Wrights. No one is suggesting you modify your airplane for speed, but there are a few simple techniques you can employ to improve cruise at essentially no cost.
One guaranteed method of flying faster is simply to reduce weight. The late Roy LoPresti once told me you could expect a 1% cruise improvement on most general aviation singles for every 100 pounds of weight reduction. Just as some folks allow things to accumulate in their car's trunk, pilots often allow the pile of miscellaneous stuff in an airplane's baggage compartment to grow beyond all normal limits. I purchased a case of oil a while back, loaded it into my Mooney's baggage area and let it sit there for a month before finally unloading it into my hangar. You may not be able to find 100 pounds of stuff to off-load, but even 50 pounds will make a difference, perhaps as much as one knot.
It's also important to place whatever weight you must carry as far aft as possible to move the CG toward the back of the allowable envelope. Any model of a given weight will always fly faster at an aft CG because the tail has to generate less downlift to balance the airplane. This doesn't mean you should add weight to move the CG aft, though some air racers do exactly that, planting lead shots or weight bars in the tailcone. The benefit of an aft CG can sometimes offset the slight loss of a higher weight.
Other simple tricks that may make your airplane fly faster on the same power include keeping all vents closed if you don't need them open, keeping the airplane clean and waxed (especially the critical leading edges), making certain rigging is correct at the annual inspection and attending to any minor nicks in the prop. Engine tune obviously needs to be as close to perfect as you can make it to assure you're developing the power you're paying for.

A football helmet and padding may help score the goods with minimal bruising during the last-minute holiday shopping hustle. However tackle gear may not protect against other calculated attacks intended for claiming those goods or cleaning out the bank account.
Ruidoso's Chief of Police Joe Magill said the top reported violations during the holiday season are shoplifting, burglary and pick pockets.
Magill took the time to suggest the following for protecting both person's and possessions amid the holiday bustle:
• Be aware of surroundings, especially at night and in crowds.
• Lock gifts in the car trunk while shopping.
• Bring gifts inside the house.
• Always lock the car.
• Have keys ready and use the keyless remote to enter car to prevent distracted fumbling for the keys.
• Secure handbag towards the front and close to the body, do not let it hang out.
• Be mindful of wallet or purse in crowds where pick pockets tend to lurk.
• Prevent credit cards from being scanned by wrapping cards in foil or keeping in an aluminum wallet.
• Check accounts frequently for unauthorized purchases, both from stores and when eating out.
• Establish a good relationship with the bank and make sure security measures are set in place such as spending limits and security alerts for inconsistencies in purchases.
Shopping online
Virtual shopping behind locked doors or disguised as tablet reading and coffee drinking in the local coffee house may throw some contenders off, but not all. Jim Weinman, director of Information Systems with ENMU-Ruidoso, provided tips on the realities of online shopping. There are three situations that set an online shopper up for direct attack, 1) shopping through unsecured networks and websites 2) using software and patches that are not updated and current, and 3) user habits and practice. It is important to be guarded in online shopping as Weinman strongly emphasizes, "It's not if you go to a compromised site, it's when."
Unsecured networks and websites:
• Wifi: Shopping with a Wifi connection that is unsecured is a no-no. Most public Wifi connections are unsecure. If shopping using a Wifi connection from home make sure the connection is secure.
• Only use websites that are secure. A website address that starts with https is secure. A website address that starts with just http is not secure. Remember "S" stands for secure.
• A network's 4G connection is more secure then Wifi.
• It is important to make sure security is in place otherwise the data is not encrypted making it easy to capture passwords and account information that can be re-used by online hackers.
• Be leery of using unfamiliar websites in trying to score a better deal.
Operating System:
• The computer, tablet or smart phone should have current updates, virus protection and a spam filter.
• If something comes up on the screen that was unplanned, dump it!
• If operating system becomes compromised unplug from the network and conduct a "restore point."
Best practice and habits:
• Use a credit card or a one-time-use credit card number instead of a debit card. It is easier to dispute and reverse unauthorized credit card charges then debit card charges.
• Designate one credit card for online purchases only.
• Monitor credit card account activity on a regular basis.
• Use a variety of passwords to prevent hackers from being able to access all accounts in one swoop.
• Use strong passwords. A strong password should be at least 8 characters long, with a combination of numbers, lower case and upper case letters and special characters.
• Never use bank password for anything else.
• Phishers like to send emails to solicit purchases or that claim your account was hacked with a provided link to change the password. Type the link into Google search, if nothing shows up it is a phishing scam. Only ever change account settings by going directly to the website to access account settings.

Kelsey Zukowski is an experienced and passionate writer, actress, and model, specializing in the horror genre through dark examination. Based in Los Angeles, she has worked on productions across the country, working heavily in the indie horror scene in Chicago as well as LA.
Zukowski is well-known for penning and co-starring in the surreal dark drama, "What They Say", winning awards at film festivals and getting wide recognition. More recently her tale of real life horrors of bullying and abuse in the surreal horror short, "Words Like Knives", has been making its film festival run. Zukowski recently completed the feature psychological paranormal film, "Within These Walls", a gritty collaboration with filmmaker, James Tucker, and cinematographer, Ryan Baker of SixGun Pictures. The film follows a young woman who is forced to be a complete prisoner in her own home and in her own body. She is tormented physically, mentally, and emotionally by an invisible, all powerful spirit as her thirst for the truth and survival are put to the test. (played by Zukowski).
Zukowski is a huge believer in all that the horror genre is capable of. She strives to dive in to the good and the bad, the light and darkness, that surrounds us, in a creative, justifying sense through the genre. She eagerly ventures in to other genres, but her home is in horror. Zukowski was heavily inspired at an early age by the Halloween franchise, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and fellow Cleveland-native, Wes Craven's surreal and 'fighting through the mind' brand of horror in particular.
When Zukowski was 14 she began writing film reviews, greatly inspired by the late Roger Ebert's writing style and ability to relay the entire movie going experience in his reviews. While still in high school in Ohio, Zukowski's film reviews were being published in the California-based newspaper, The Valley Voice. She has been a published film critic for the past 8 years writing for a variety of websites including Criticsword.com, HorrorYearbook.com, FilmArcade.net, DirectorsLive.com, TheCelebrityCafe.com, and 8th-circuit.com. She's written TV recaps, music and movie reviews, news stories, and has conducted interviews with independent film makers around the world. She has covered and shown appreciation for all types of films from low budget independent to Hollywood mainstream and always eager to highlight foreign films or unknown gems.
Zukowski has a Bachelors of Arts in Digital Cinema with a concentration in Screenwriting from DePaul University. From acting she bridged in to modeling, working heavily with alternative modeling. Zukowski is most drawn to thematic, stylistic modeling that has an artistic expression, human emotion, and creates a singular world within an image. Her modeling work has recently been published in Dark Beauty Magazine, Sanctuary Magazine, Giuseppina Magazine, Rebelicious Magazine, and Gothesque Magazine.

Mike's China
3 Shanghai
It's one of the world's most dynamic cities and has been for a long time .
The Europeans identified Shanghai as the place to do business and
dominate China when the country was weak. It was a stronghold of the
Mao Zedong communists in the early days of the revolution. Its present
ambition is to surpass Singapore and Hong Kong and become the
leading financial centre of the region. Shanghai is an interesting and
exciting place.
The city is growing at a prodigious rate. Take a train to the outskirts and
you will pass vast housing developments . People are streaming in from
China's interior to join in the prosperity. Some are coming as "guest workers"
and living in dormitories. Many are coming to settle and put down roots.
Old residential areas in the centre are being ripped down to make way for
luxury high-rise apartments. We spoke to a young lady whose family home
was recently placed under a compulsory purchase order by the Shanghai
administration. Like others before them, they would receive a luxury
apartment in return. Her parents planned to lease the apartment and live off
the rental income.
Their experience contrasted with that of people we met in Chongqing.
There the authorities were requisitioning land needed to house people
displaced by the Three Gorges Dam. Owners were complaining bitterly that
they were being swindled.
There is a lot of history in Shanghai. Among its ancient buildings are the
Longhua Pagoda, Jade Buddha Temple and the tomb of Lu Xun. Qiboa
Ancient Town and Zhujajiao Water Town are well worth a visit. I've heard
both criticised as "theme parks" . That may be true but it doesn't prevent them
from being very good theme parks.
The Nanjing Road and Huaihai Road are famous for their fashion houses
and restaurants. Walk down the former and you will get to The Bund. The
latter leads to the former "French Concession".
The Bund is where the Europeans and Americans had their business
houses. Today the buildings fly the Chinese flag. Interestingly, you do not
see the flag flown much in China. Nor do you see many statues of political

Welcome back to The Queue, WoW Insider's daily Q&A column where the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Adam Holisky will be your host today.
There's a few good questions today of various voluptuous varieties: raiding, legal ToS (TNG > ToS, by the way), and new gaming hardware. Yummy.
Start me off, Delks...
Edit: Please be sure to listen to Fly Me To The Moon by Ol' Blue Eyes during today's Queue, or you can listen to the title's name sake song.
"What's the point of running old world raids and instances?"
Several, besides the obvious one of achievements. First, they offer compelling story lines that really help tie up many of the arcs that run through the stories present in the 1 through 60 game. Secondly, the dungeons are quite visually impressive if you haven't been through them a few hundred times already. It's just fun from a gameplay stance. Finally, running the old world content can still give some unique rewards that people covet, like bug mounts in AQ40 (although they're only usable in AQ40), or the tiger and raptor mounts from ZG.
George asked...
"Here's a question about the terms of use agreement that we must accept every time the game gets patched. I certainly don't bother reading it and I'm fairly certain that most others don't either, so couldn't Blizzard pull a fast one and make us agree to something we wouldn't normally agree to by hiding something in the legal fine print?"
They could sneak something crazy in, but that would be supremely evil and cause a significant backlash against their company. They won't do such a thing for that reason alone. If there was anything way out line, like the example of signing over your first born that Erik pointed out, you'd have quite a powerful argument.
In the end remember that the agreements between you and Blizzard really amount to nothing more than a fair set of rules normal and fair minded people would agree to abide by: no botting, no harassment, no hacking, etc...
Of course, I Am Not A Lawyer (iAnal), and there is fine print for a reason... See? Now I'm not culpable for anything I said. Horray! Drinks are on me. Oh wait...
Okkienookie asked...
"Any dates when the new Logitech keyboard is coming out?"
The Logitech G19 is showing up as released on the Logitech site, and you can order it for $200. It's not showing up as released on Amazon yet, and Best Buy doesn't have it in their inventory either. So it likely was just released in the past few days. I've heard rumblings that Dell had an exclusive deal with Logitech, but wasn't able to find anything on it while briefly searching.
I'll be ordering mine after I find out how many BlizzCon tickets I'm buying this weekend for people.

Writes John in Highland: "My parents lived in Kalamazoo, Michigan, during World War II. Each had gotten work there after being in college during the Great Depression.
"Mom had not been able to afford the tuition during her last year at St. Catherine's in St. Paul, but the good nuns told her class that they should graduate and get jobs, and they could pay their debt when they got back on their feet. She had gotten a teaching job at Nazareth College in Kalamazoo.
"Ed had been in engineering at Notre Dame, and he also found a job in Kalamazoo. He worked as a mechanical engineer in the auto industry.
"They met at a dance at the CYC. (Remember Catholic Youth Centers?) They dated, got married in 1940, and rented a small house with a single garage.
"When WWII broke out, Ed was exempted from the draft because he worked in what was termed a 'necessary occupation.' The automakers were hard at work building cars, jeeps and tanks for the war effort.
"From time to time, Ed would come home with a money-making scheme. Mom would not say anything, allowing Ed to play with his inventions and contraptions.
"At one point, a guy he knew sold him a machine that cut old tires into strips that could be woven into a doormat. Ed made a few mats, but the machine kept breaking down. Finally, the machine quit for good and could not be repaired. Mom retained her composure as their poor old Ford sat out in the snow and cold. It would not fit in the garage because of the nonfunctional doormat machine and the stacks of old tires.
"As the war continued, it was impossible to buy new cars, so people hung on to their old cars and maintained them. One of the hardest things to find was tires. The only thing that people could do was patch the old tires and drive on them until they wore through the treads and blew out.
"This was Ed's time to shine. He quickly became the most popular guy in the neighborhood as people discovered the gold mine of old tires that he was more than willing to share. They didn't care if the tires were bald or leaked air. The leaks could be repaired, and people became experts at patching and repatching old tires.
"Ed chuckled when he recounted the story for me. He didn't say if he had come out ahead selling the mats or the tires, but I always thought that the point was to let me know how Mom had put up with his experiments."
Now & Then
Gramma Deb of White Bear Lake: "The paper across the river had 'More moms are staying home' as their headline.
"As I am OTD, I was a stay-at-home mom. The headline made me laugh. I have said all along that if couples were willing to live on the financial level that we did, most moms would be able to stay at home if they wanted to.
"Remember? Never fast food; it was ... too expensive. Never a flashy car; too expensive. New countertops? New appliances? (Only if the old one was beyond repair.) New furniture, man toys, nail salons, spring breaks to Mexico? Well, you get my drift. Too expensive.
"Entertainment was family birthday parties (not extravagant stuff: a cake and pin-the-tail), card games with friends (who brought their kids with them), potluck dinners at the church, sledding, picnics, swimming, some tent camping, and, for the women, coffee gatherings some mornings with the neighbors.
"To young women, this must sound very boring, and perhaps it was -- but I remember being happy, and my kids were certainly happy as we read books and had big outings to the library. There was security in the sameness of daily life: the same TV show you got to watch as you ate your lunch, and then nap time, and then the kids in the neighborhood you'd better get along with because there were no 'play dates,' and the kid coming in the door yelling: 'Mom, can I have a cookie?'
"Boy, were we broke ... but it was a good life."
What's in a name? (responsorial)
Nawlinsborn: "I read with interest the Bulletin Board letter about a woman having the traditional man's name Christopher [BB, 4/3/2014].
"I am a woman, and I was blessed (or cursed) with the name Dale. I was named after Roy Rogers' wife, Dale Evans. (Interestingly enough, his name wasn't really Roy and her name wasn't really Dale.)
"In any given month, while transacting business, using a credit card, dealing with junk phone calls or junk mail, it is usually assumed that Dale is my husband. I have a perfectly girly middle name: Elaine. But even including it in correspondence, I have gotten return mail addressed to 'Mr. Dale....' Argh!
"With all of the 'creative' names given to children in recent years, this name 'guessing game' will surely get even more mystifying."
'Tis the season ... still? (responsorial)
Bloomington Bird Lady: "After reading about [Anne Nonny Mouse's] 12-foot tree and the possibility of using it for multiple-season decorating [BB, 4/7/2014], I just had to suggest another alternative.
"Sometimes smaller is better, especially for small families. There are just two 81-year-olds here, and for several years we've gone to a tree farm to cut our own -- not as easy as it used to be, I might add. We cut a 6-foot Fraser Fir, get it wrapped in mesh, and haul it home -- in the trunk, with lid tied down.
"Fast-forward to three weeks later. Tree has smelled wonderful, its water replenished twice a day, and is getting buds!
"With the cold and snow lasting so long, it has stood welcoming birds ever since January. OK, so now it's not so lovely -- brown, no snow holding it up (thank goodness!) -- and is rolling around waiting to be recycled when we can find time to cut it into pieces.
"We are thankful we could again invite the evergreen smell into our little house, but now ... call the decor police. It's time!"
The Permanent Maternal Record
In reply to Peggles of Golden Valley, whose Wednesday note merited a "WARNING! Serious threat to contented dining ahead," here are two more notes that richly deserve the same WARNING!
The Other Princess: "My 82-year-old mother taught me a slightly different version of the same song:
"My Bonnie has tuberculosis.
"My Bonnie has only one lung.
"My Bonnie spit blood in the bucket
"And dried it and chewed it for gum. Yum, yum."
Granny J of Roseville: "I also remember a stanza of 'My Bonnie.' Here goes:
"My Bonnie has tuberculosis.
"My Bonnie is minus one lung.
"She coughs and she spits and she vomits
"And fries it and chews it for gum, YUM YUM.
"Yum-yum, yum-yum, she fries it and chews it for gum, yum-yum.
"Yum-yum, yum-yum, she fries it and chews it for gum.
"I also have lot of old Girl Scout songs going through my head, and now, when I think of it, they don't make a lot of sense, but oh how we thought they were so cool. This may stir up some old Girl Scout songs ... heavens, even Boy Scout songs (did they sing?) ... for possible BB readers.
"Have a great day!"

Panelists talked about the future of Iraq, political struggles between different factions, and U.S. policy in the country. Mr. Kagan moderated the panel which responded to comments and questions from the audience.
Since the destruction of the al-Askariya shrine in Samarra on February 22, 2006, a growing number of commentators warned that Iraq was slipping into civil war, and that prospects for stability and democracy in Iraq were waning. The Iraqi police and security forces successfully shut down large-scale violence within a few days of the attack as Iraqi political leaders of all parties called for calm. Nonetheless, since the U.S. invasion the Iraqi political process had been continuing alongside insurgent and sectarian violence. close

I've looked for links to any topics, reviews or messages using terms 'Slide Lock', 'Slidelock' and Quilters Slide Lock with no results. I would like more than one review of course. Since any discussions on the Slide Lock seem to be elusive, and perhaps there are new owner/users I have started a new topic....thanks
I posted in the earlier discussion HERE. Hope that helps.
R-r-r-ripping my way to fitting success
Thanks Patti! I've read all the postings, and I'm still hesitant. So, do you use a smaller cutting mat in conjunction with the Slide Lock. It looks like you need to turn the cutting mat so as not to disturb the fabric. Especially when cutting squares of 5", 4" etc.
There are not many reviews on the Slide Lock. But thank you and the others that commented on the previous posting.
I think it is useful but it works best with the straight (not curved) cutters. I use the Olfa cutter with the ergonomic handle and the screw hit the edge. I have solved that problem by purchasing the 60mm cutter.
------Bernina Gal
If I am cutting strips or squares/rectangles the June Taylor shape cut ruler is AWESOME! Shape Cut
I got this smaller one and I want the bigger one now. It makes cutting super FAST and super easy. I wouldn't go back to lining up a ruler for individual cuts again, even if the ruler stuck to the fabric with no sliding. You still have to move it after EACH cut.
I measure what I need with my regular ruler then line up the slidelock next to it and cut.
------it doesn't matter what type of sewing you do. you are sewing, and sewing is good.
The Shape n Cut is wonderful, I agree. But sometimes at the the end of the cut it will move. Just a tad.
Thanks everyone for your replies.
I have the big one and I love it! I have never had it slip. Once you get the hang of measuring with another ruler, clamp down the slidelock, remove the other ruler, it is fast and easy. I got it for cutting bias binding- fabulous! And I used it to cut a heavy stencil item for my husband, lots of short, straight lines, and it worked great for that.

|Hydroxyurea increases hemoglobin F levels and improves the effectiveness of erythropoiesis in beta-thalassemia/hemoglobin E disease.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 8562958 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Hydroxyurea (HU) is one of several agents that have been shown to enhance hemoglobin (Hb) F levels in patients with sickle cell disease and may be useful as a therapy for beta-globinopathies. However, limited information exists on the effects of HU in patients with thalassemia. Accordingly, we examined the hematologic effects of orally administered HU in 13 patients with beta-thalassemia/Hb E, including four patients who had been splenectomized. These patients were treated with escalating doses (final range, 10 to 20 mg/kg/d) for 5 months and were observed in the outpatient hematology clinic every 2 to 4 weeks. Complete blood counts including reticulocyte counts, amounts of Hb E and Hb F, G gamma:A gamma and alpha:non-alpha globin biosynthetic ratios were evaluated before and during treatment. Almost all patients responded with an average increase of 33% in Hb F levels, from a mean (+/- SD) of 42% +/- 11% to 56% +/- 8% (P < .0001), and a reciprocal decline in the percentage of Hb E from 59% +/- 9% to 49% +/- 8% (P < .001). Reticulocytosis was decreased from a mean (+/- SD) of 18.0% +/- 15.6% to 11.7% +/- 9.1% (P < .05); there was also a slight (10%) but statistically significant increase in hemoglobin levels and an improved balance in alpha:non-alpha globin chains ratios. The side effects were minimal in most patients, although these patients tended to tolerate a lower dose of HU before significant myelosuppression than has been our previous experience in sickle cell disease. One splenectomized patient died of sepsis during the trial. We conclude that increased Hb F production in beta-thalassemia/Hb E patients, with an improvement in the alpha:non-alpha globin ratios and, probably, the effectiveness of erythropoiesis, can be achieved using HU. Longer trials of HU in this population, including at other doses and in combination with other agents, appear warranted.

Soccer Among the Pella Christian Programs to Benefit from New Facilities
Posted By News On March 13, 2010 @ 5:56 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
Brand new athletic facilities were installed at Pella Christian High School at the beginning of this school year, and the Eagles' spring sports programs will be able to utilize those facilities to the fullest over the next several weeks. One of the first programs to get out and officially start practices will be the Pella Christian soccer teams, and Athletic Director Verlan Nikkel says having access to an all-weather playing surface on their own school grounds will be a great benefit for practices. Nikkel adds that the combination of the new field at the stadium and the City of Pella's soccer complex will give Pella Christian more flexibility with scheduling and facility usage throughout the spring.

White Denim
Forget music, Austin's White Denim need to market what they're smoking. Trading trio for quartet on their latest, D, they remain a heady melange situated at the nexus of the '60s and '70s. Cloud-surfing prog shuffles past shimmery art-folk and flute-y Jethro Tull-style indulgences. Groovy jams vacillate between blooze boogie bluster, jazz-soul sophistication and head-lolling psychedelica. The melodies are surprisingly durable, despite being submerged within billowing clouds of sativa-inspired headspace. It could be a mess of melted M&Ms, stale French fries and old condom wrappers lodged between the cushions of an old Chevy Impala. Instead, it moves with lighthearted ease, eyes twinkling with delight that's keenly communicated through the music. -Chris Parker

The disability community is a group that has been historically marginalized yet rarely heard. Inside/Out is a groundbreaking performance piece about the culture and identity of the disabled in America. The play features a collection of individual stories intermingled with historical events told from the point of view of the disabled. The performance features deeply personal stories from Christopher Imbrosciano, a young actor with cerebral palsy, and Vivian Cary Jenkins, a former health-care administrator who lost her sight. The cast utilizes humor and theatricality as well as repetition, rhythm and role-playing to create a thought-provoking and culturally poignant work. -Jessica Herring

Publick Intercourse
"The last thing we wanted was to open another fucking bourgie coffee shop. This will evolve into a more legitimate community space where unpredictable things happen and new ideas form," Grindcore House co-owner Mike Barone told PW last November. Since then, the all-vegan cafe has hosted art shows, movies, book talks and more. Tonight begins a new series called Publick Intercourse modeled on the "penny universities" that formed in 17th-century London coffee houses as a platform for workers to discuss timely political and economic issues. This first installment investigates the nuances of two strains of anarchism: Kevin Tucker, the author of For Wilderness & Anarchy and a contributor to Green Anarchy mag, will argue for anarcho-primitivism, and Alexis Buss, a member of the IWW and a Anarcho-Syndicalist Review contributor, will throw down for the anarcho-syndicalist side. Will division remain, or will mutually-beneficial collaborations emerge? Only one way to find out. -Elliott Sharp

Tumbling Bones
Tumbling Bones 20-somethings Peter Winne, Jake Hoffman and Sam McDougle believe that grit and emotional intensity are what Old Time American Music is all about. In a former incarnation, the band's fiery American spirituals won them first prize in the 2007 Prairie Home Companion, "People in Their Twenties Talent Competition." Currently touring the East Coast for their new EP Risk Not Your Soul, the Bones bring back the fire, but pair it with driving fiddle tunes ("Sally Johnson"), wistful folk ballads ("East VA Blues"), and rusty country blues ("St. Louis Blues"). Highlights include a wrenching take on Bill Monroe's "What Would You Give In Exchange For Your Soul?" See them here so you can say you saw them when. And don't show up too fashionably late—girl trio the Old Fashioneds are kicking things off with fresh and technically flawless renditions of country and gospel standards that will tug on your heartstrings. -Emma Eisenberg

The Best of Liza Jessie Peterson
Homegirl Liza (pronounced lee'zuh) Jessie Peterson is returning to Philly for a one-night, one-woman performance to benefit the Women's Medical Fund. The Best of Liza Jessie Peterson showcases her thespian chops—honed at the National Shakespeare Conservatory—by interpreting a carnival of characters while busting out some of the poetry skills that lead her to win slam contests at NYC's famed Nuyorican Poetry Café. The theme is "finding light in dark places," which makes sense for an artist who consistently addresses issues of social injustice with a sharp tongue and funny bent. "I don't try to write funny, it just comes out that way. I guess it's 'cause I was raised around a bunch of professional shit talkers who were always holding court." -Tara Murtha

Scott Pryor & the Common Sinners
When Scott Pryor stormed Philly's acoustic world a few years ago, he made it his home, building a serious following through tireless playing, regular West Philly house concerts and coffee shop gigs, and particularly 2009's Theater for the Weary, a full-length tour de folk of beautifully melodic melancholy. If We Set Out Now is Pryor's stellar Kickstarter-funded follow-up EP, with many of the songs (the sing-along-able "Lay Me Down," the old-timey courtship duet "Gasoline Love" with Common Sinner Emma Morrow) already in-concert faves for local fans. This record-release show will provide a suitable return for the musician who last year relocated to Austin. -Jeffrey Barg

Oakland owner Lew Wolff weighed in on the Bob Geren fiasco to MLB.com in favor of Geren, as the manager comes under fire for poor communication skills.
|Bob Geren controversy
Wolff said that Geren has been "fantastic" and likes "the way he deals with everyone."
All due respect to Wolff, what exactly is he supposed to say? An owner should always back up his manager publicly, even if there are issues internally. It's why a vote of confidence tends to spell doom.
"I think Bob's fine, terrific," Wolff said of Geren as a manager. "It's a tough job."
One issue that has cropped up is that Geren is a close friend of GM Billy Beane, serving as best man for Beane's wedding. However, Wolff doesn't feel as if Geren's received any more of a leash thanks to his friendship, suggesting the opposite."Billy delayed Bob's career for reasons like that, which I thought was silly," Wolff said. "Billy's goal is to win ballgames, and he evaluates everything."
Prior to Wednesday's game, Geren called a private team meeting and refused to speak about what was discussed.
"Just a meeting to talk about the team, and that's it," Geren said. It's easy to figure out that the purpose of the meeting was to try to get everyone on the same page, clear the air with regard to communication issues and get the club focused on winning games. Whether that can be done with Geren or not remains to be seen.

Florala Mayor Robert Williamson and the town council came up with a list of its worst roads which need to be repaved.
Mayor Williamson says the city needs a priority list in the event monies from president-elect Obama's stimulus package arrive in Southern Covington County.
The incoming administration is promising to spend billions of dollars on the nation's failing infrastructure of roads and bridges.
The mayor says no matter what the outcome of the stimulus package, the town will get the roads repaved regardless.

U.S. construction industry adds 14,000 jobs
Posted By Tina Grady Barbaccia On May 24, 2010 @ 11:31 am In Aggbeat Online | No Comments
The nation's construction industry added 14,000 jobs nationwide in April, according to the Labor Department, marking the first back-to-back monthly gains in that sector since 2006, the Los Angeles Times reports. [1]
In all, 29 states gained construction jobs that month, according to data released Friday by the Associated General Contractors of America, according to the LA Times report.
Although building jobs have not yet begun to pick up in California, according to the report, the industry here has shown improvement: The value of permits in California's private building industry totaled $2.2 billion in March 2010, up 8.1 percentfrom the same period last year and 29 percent from February, according to the Construction Industry Research Board, the LA Times report noted.
The number of residential building permits issued in the first three months of the year was up 29 percent from the same period last year, according to the LA Times.

Big NUMBER report
I have lost
TEN POUNDS.......woot woot.
Can I ask people who have lost a lot of weight and have the saggy and wrinkly skin, what do you do about it? I can't afford a tummy tuck.
Also, what if one or more parts of your body are too skinny and don't want to lose anymore in those places?
Quoting Thelmama:
Thank you.
Eating better, cutting out soda, exercise and doing that almost daily. Drinking more water. Making sure what I put in my mouth is quality and not highly processed or fatty. Lifestyle changes. I have exercised more in the last few weeks than I have in years. WAlking/jogging at intervals or just walking, aerobics etc etc. The key was keep moving. This week I am so sick with a sinus infection exercise is not happening. But as soon as I am back to normal I will be back at it.
Quoting calsmom62:
How did you lose it??

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Sleep-deprived Nevada lawmakers quickly passed all five bills they had to deal with in a special session called overnight by Gov. Brian Sandoval.
The Republican ordered the session before dawn Tuesday after lawmakers failed to take final action on a handful of measures in the four-month regulation session that ended just hours earlier at midnight.
Legislators passed measures dealing with more police officers in Clark County, which includes Las Vegas, class-size reduction, charter schools, tax abatements for new businesses and money for a scholarship fund.
