The York County commissioners approved a declaration of disaster emergency for York County on Thursday.
The declaration allows the county to immediately address conditions in the snowstorm, which means it can rent equipment without going through the normal bidding process, among other things.
The county's Emergency Operations Center was also activated Thursday to monitor conditions and provide support for local municipalities and response agencies, the county said.
Residents are advised to avoid unnecessary travel and heed snow emergencies issued by local municipalities.
The Commissioners, in consultation with the Office of Emergency Management and Area Agency on Aging, offered the following safety tips:
- Ensure proper ventilation of furnaces, water heaters and other appliances that depend on external ventilation. Clear snow from exhaust pipes.
- Clear snow from gas meters. Heavy snow can cover the regulator vent and block gas service.
- Check on vulnerable neighbors, friends and relatives during and after the storm. Make sure they have an adequate supply of food, water and medicine.
- Do not call 911 to report power outages unless the outage poses a threat to safety or property (contact numbers for electricity providers is listed below).
- Clear fire hydrants near your home or business from snow so the hydrants are readily accessible to fire departments.
- Clear snow off all exposed surfaces of vehicles before driving, including the top of the vehicle.
- Take care not to overexert when shoveling snow. Push the snow as you shovel because it's easier on your back than lifting the snow. Make sure to stretch before and after snow removal. Take breaks as necessary.

Five Easy Ways to Stop Headaches
Headaches, everyone hates them. But did you know that there are many easy ways to cure them?
Important to Know: A headache is normally caused when the amount of fluid around your brain fluctuates, or when you are stressed out. To stop the pain, try these steps:
Drink something with caffeine in it.
Caffeine can constrict the blood vessels in your brain, and thus it can quickly end headaches. A cup of coffee or a cola can sometimes stop a headache.
Put ice on your head.
This is definitely a no-brainer. Putting ice where it hurts makes your veins pump blood faster, helping to even things out inside your brain.
Lie down for a while.
Many headaches are simply caused by tension. If you lie down and simple calm yourself, it may go away. Taking a soothing bath or massaging your temples can often help.
Drink plenty of water.
A headache can be a sign of dehydration. You should drink a glass of water to make sure this isn't the case.
Take some aspirin.
Although some people don't like to take pills, some Tylenol is a good way to cure a headache. Aspirin contains a chemical that stop the production of prostaglandins (these are made by cells and cause pain).

Beaver Creek Property Owners Association Sues Vail Resorts over Amusement Park Complex at Resort Business Wire AVON, Colo. -- October 3, 2013 The Beaver Creek Property Owners Association (BCPOA) and the Greystone Condominium Association have filed a lawsuit against Vail Resorts (NYSE: MTN) to prevent the construction of an amusement park complex planned for the mountain facing Beaver Creek Village and within close proximity to residential neighborhoods. To-scale artist's rendering shows Vail Resorts' proposed roller coaster at Beaver Creek Resort in Co ... To-scale artist's rendering shows Vail Resorts' proposed roller coaster at Beaver Creek Resort in Colorado. The Beaver Creek Property Owners Association and the Greystone Condominium Association filed a lawsuit against Vail Resorts to prevent the construction of an amusement park complex planned for the mountain facing Beaver Creek Village. (Photo: Business Wire) "We believe an amusement park complex is not appropriate for a setting like Beaver Creek, where the rides will permanently scar the face of the mountain and alter the character and beauty of this valley for both residents and visitors," said Tim Maher, President of the BCPOA board of directors. "The amusement park rides would be a distance of less than two football fields from the closest homes and well within sight and earshot of many homeowners' bedroom windows." Scarring the Land The new amusement rides proposed at this point include a roller coaster operated year-round, a ropes challenge course/zip line, a summer tubing hill and an operations building to support the roller coaster. The roller coaster would run on a one-half mile long steel track, also requiring the installation of 2,000 feet of safety fencing and nearly 3,000 feet (10 football fields) of structural metal (see attached to scale rendering). The BCPOA feels that in addition to marring the view of almost every home with a mountain view in the valley, the proximity of the roller coaster to homes would generate year-round noise given its capacity of accommodating up to 500 riders per hour. "Most people would agree an amusement park is not a good fit and very off-brand for Beaver Creek, which Vail Resorts markets as a premiere, world-class resort," said Barry Parker, Vice President of the BCPOA Board. "The roller coaster proposed at Beaver Creek would be the only installation of its kind this close to residential areas in any U.S. mountain resort. The vast majority of coasters in the U.S. are installed at amusement parks or water parks, not luxury resorts." Environmental Concerns "Based on our review of the plans, construction of an amusement park complex at Beaver Creek would also result in significant environmental damage, including the removal of 350 mature aspen trees for the roller coaster alone," said Parker. Vail Resorts' landscape plan only calls for replacing those trees with 92 significantly smaller trees. "This environmental damage is a direct contradiction to Vail Resorts' stated core philosophy that their resorts operate in some of the world's greatest natural environments, and they are compelled to care for and preserve them," said Parker. The 50-foot tall high ropes challenge course would be built directly over a wetland area and stream that feeds into the Eagle and Colorado Rivers. Vail Resorts has not yet obtained permits from the Environmental Protection Agency. Colorado Open Lands, a private, non-profit land conservation and land trust organization, holds the conservation easement for the land on which Vail Resorts plans to build the amusement park complex. "Building an amusement park is incongruent with this organization's mission of open space preservation," said Parker. Additionally, the location of the amusement park complex would bisect a popular nature trail used by thousands of hikers, bikers and snowshoe enthusiasts. Lawsuit Filed "We want to work amicably with Vail Resorts, however, our environmental, visual, noise and economic concerns have been repeatedly ignored," Maher said. "Vail Resorts is not living up to their own stated values of being aligned with communities and the natural environment. Conversations between the BCPOA board and Vail Resorts led to no resolution of the issue." The last opportunity to administratively protest the plan was unsuccessful when the Beaver Creek Design Review board approved Vail Resorts plan in a 3-2 vote on August 21, 2013 after months of opposition expressed by the BCPOA. The BCPOA and Greystone jointly filed a lawsuit in the Eagle County District Court. The Associations' lawsuit contends that Vail Resorts has not honored prior agreements made with the BCPOA and 11 homeowners associations in Beaver Creek, is violating government regulations (including those pertaining to wetlands), and is also in violation of its own governing documents for Beaver Creek. Additionally, property owners are contending that because of close proximity to homes, the amusement park will be a nuisance to neighbors. The lawsuit also asserts Vail Resorts has misrepresented/concealed its plans from neighbors, has instigated civil conspiracy and violated the Colorado Consumer Protection Act. "The neighbors are distrustful of Vail Resorts, a corporation that has a pattern of deception with us. When Vail Resorts built the Children's Ski School and the Buckaroo Express Gondola for improved access, the BCPOA was very supportive, with certain restrictions on summertime operation of the Gondola, which operates very close to a number of private residences.Thereafter, unbeknownst to the community, a food service entity of VR acquired a liquor license for the Children's Ski School by identifying it in the application only as 'The Ranch.' Earlier this year an application was submitted to the county to amend that license allowing a very large expansion of the Children's Ski School deck. This prompted neighbors to ask, 'Why does a children's ski school need a liquor license?' It's all part of their plan to sell alcohol to amusement park complex guests - a master plan that Vail Resorts has never shared with their neighbors," Parker said. A roller coaster is not the first amusement ride the BCPOA has opposed. In 2007, the property owners filed a lawsuit against Vail Resorts to stop an alpine slide from being built in the same area within full view of many residential neighborhoods. The lawsuit filed to stop the alpine slide had been "on hold" in District Court with the agreement of all parties since the project was abandoned. By the recent court action, the property owners have reactivated that litigation and added new complaints. "This is a classic case of David vs. Goliath – we are fighting the most powerful and influential corporation in Eagle County. They are a billion dollar company; we are private homeowners having to fight this with our own personal money – but we are committed to doing it because we want to protect the beauty and character of Beaver Creek and the natural environment," Maher concluded. Beaver Creek Property Owners Association (BCPOA) Founded in 1990, the BCPOA represents interests of Beaver Creek property owners to protect the quality of life and property values in the community. The association has approximately 715 property owner households as members.

Government has prioritized agriculture, industry, services and ICT.
President Yoweri Museveni said in his State of the Nation Address to parliament on Thursday that the four sectors are very crucial in wealth creation and access to employment.
"Anybody wishing to generate wealth, create self-employment, employ others or access employment has no alternative but choose one of these four," the President said.
The agricultural sector grew by 1.5% per annum this financial year. "Agriculture in Uganda is still handicapped by the 68% of the households that were in subsistence farming according to the census of 2002. If all these homesteads were converted to commercial farming, the size of agriculture would be much bigger," he said.

He said that the global demand for coffee is 149.1 million bags at the value of US$ 13.6 billion; the value of tea is US$ 11.4 billion with a total demand of 4 million tonnes; the total value of milk and milk products is US$ 32.8 billion with the total quantities of 730 million tonnes.
He reiterated government's commitment to roll out the irrigation schemes citing Doho Irrigation Rice Scheme that has been repaired at a cost of sh19.7b. Mobuku repaired at cost of sh19b.
The Agoro Irrigation Scheme has been completed at the cost of sh27b as well as the rehabilitation of the Olweny Irrigation Scheme which commences in 2014/15 financial years at cost of sh42b.

The President said that he has directed the ministry of Agriculture to work with Kenya to avail affordable mini-irrigation equipment.
Industry sector now employs over 841,704 persons. The annual rate of growth of the industrial sector has been 5.6%
The services (hotels, transport, banks, professional services, etc) this year grew by 5.6%. It employs 2,684,290 persons and accounts for 45.4% of our GDP.
The ICT sector is growing at 15% annually for last 2 years. It has got capacity to employ many people. The ICT is crucial for communication among people, for data processing and for automation, the President said.

WILLIAMSON, W.Va. (AP) - A Mingo County man has been convicted of two counts of first-degree murder for an April shooting incident at a mobile home in the Marrowbone area.
Twenty year old Melvin Randall Messer of Kermit was found guilty yesterday and is to be sentenced February 25th before Mingo County Circuit Judge Michael Thornsburg.
The jury recommended mercy in sentencing, which means Messer could be eligible for parole consideration after serving 15 years for each charge. The judge has the option of deciding whether the sentences run concurrently or back-to-back.
Messer admitted to firing the shots, but said it was done in self-defense.
In addition to the two men who were killed -- Christopher Chapman and Walter Gauze, both 25 of Marrowbone -- one man was injured in the leg.

Legally certified sturgeon fisheries require population protection and conservation methods, including DNA tests to identify the source of valuable sturgeon roe. However, the available genetic data are insufficient to distinguish between different sturgeon populations, and are even unable to distinguish between some species. We performed high-throughput single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-genotyping analysis on different populations of Russian (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii), Persian (A. persicus), and Siberian (A. baerii) sturgeon species from the Caspian Sea region (Volga and Ural Rivers), the Azov Sea, and two Siberian rivers. We found that Russian sturgeons from the Volga and Ural Rivers were essentially indistinguishable, but they differed from Russian sturgeons in the Azov Sea, and from Persian and Siberian sturgeons. We identified eight SNPs that were sufficient to distinguish these sturgeon populations with 80% confidence, and allowed the development of markers to distinguish sturgeon species. Finally, on the basis of our SNP data, we propose that the A. baerii-like mitochondrial DNA found in some Russian sturgeons from the Caspian Sea arose via an introgression event during the Pleistocene glaciation.

Lincoln improves to 2-1 after shutting out Foothill
By: Jim Linsdau News Messenger Sports Editor
Now have to go on the road to play Placer
The host Lincoln High girls volleyball team were having an easy time of it against the Foothill Mustangs, but struggled a bit in set three. The Fighting Zebras eventually came away with a 3-0 victory. Setter Seline Richard went to work in the final game putting up 15 sets before her teammates came through with the kills. However, throughout the evening the attacks came from several players on the blue-and-gold side of the net. Briana Brown had four kills in the set, Emily Bell two, and Shelby Workman, Taylor Emerson, and Nicole Wells each had one. "We definitely got a lot more confident with our hitters, and passes, and we were able to run plays a lot more," said Richard following the match. "So that was a big help. That was a nice win." Lincoln dominated games one and two, 25-12, and 25-14. Unofficially, Workman had eight kills in the match, and Brown had seven. Bell was listed with six kills, and Wells five. Wells also had five blocks, and Workman and Stephanie Wilcox each had one. Brown also had seven attacks, Emerson six, Wells four, and Workman three. Stephanie McMillan had four aces in the contest, and Emerson had a dig. "The first two games we played really, really well," said Lincoln head coach Amanda Retallack. "The third game we kind of lost focus, but it was nice to have a win because we're going into a pretty tough next three games." The club travels to Auburn to play Placer, Thursday, and then will be at home to face Colfax, Tuesday, and Bear River, Oct. 19. Retallack said her club's passing and hitting were on target, but said the serving was horrible. She said they missed 11 against Foothill, and that would not hold up against Placer or Bear River. "We're going to try to pick up the intensity," Retallack said, as to what they will work on in preparation for the three-game stand. "We do play teams a lot faster than we're used to, so we've got to pick up the footwork and focus." JV _ The visiting Mustangs spoiled the Fighting Zebras' chance of taking the match to a game three by erasing a seven-point Lincoln lead in game two and going on to win 25-21. Foothill swept the match, 2-0. The Zebras stayed close to the Mustangs in game one, but could never take a lead. The Mustangs led 21-18 before eventually handing the blue-and-gold a 25-21 loss in game one. Girls Volleyball Standings Sierra Foothill League League Overall 1. Bear River 2-0 14-4 2. Placer 2-0 11-4 3. Lincoln 2-1 12-4 4. Colfax 0-1 20-6 5. Foothill 0-1 1-8 6. Center 0-2 3-8

U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice was still on Capitol Hill today, still explaining her statements about the Sept. 11 Benghazi attack, and still not allaying Republican lawmakers' doubts.
Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine said she was "very troubled" after an hour-long meeting with Rice this morning.
"I still have many questions," Collins told reporters, echoing statements made by Senators John McCain, Kelly Ayotte and Lindsey Graham after they met with Rice Tuesday, as Bloomberg reported. Republicans have said Rice misled Americans when, on Sept. 16 television talk shows, she falsely said the Benghazi attack resulted from a "spontaneous" demonstration against an anti-Islam video that militants then "hijacked."
Collins, the top Republican on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said she was particularly concerned that history had seemed to repeat itself in the Benghazi attack.
"We seem not to have learned from the 1998 bombings of two of our embassies in Africa at the time when Ambassador Rice was the assistant secretary for African affairs," Collins said. "What troubles me so much is the Benghazi attack in many ways echoes those attacks."
Both the 1998 and 2012 attacks came without warning and after additional security had been requested in the areas, Collins said.
Despite her criticism, Collins did not rule out Rice as a possible candidate to replace Secretary of State Hillary Clinton when asked by reporters.
"I would need to have additional information before I could support her nomination," said Collins, who is considered less partisan and polarizing than McCain, Graham and Ayotte.
When pressed on the topic, Collins clarified her opinion on the coming appointment.
"I think John Kerry would be an excellent appointment and would be easily confirmed by his colleagues," she said.

Anthony Garcia, Dumb-Ass Cholo, Convicted for Cold-Case Murder Because Chest Tattoo Featured the Murder Scene
Categories: Crime-iny
Anthony Garcia was a seeming run-of-the-mill hood when Los Angeles County's sheriffs arrested him for a routine traffic stop and took the snapshot at right. In 2008, an investigator randomly saw Garcia's photo and recognized the elaborate scene depicted as the exact scene of a 2004 murder in Pico Rivera that had long been declared a cold case--until the investigator saw Garcia's tattoo and figured it out.
The Los Angeles Times has the rest of this incredible story, with the local angle being detectives eventually tracked Garcia to La Habra, where he lived with relatives. He bragged about the murder to someone wearing a wire, and just got convicted of first-degree murder--all of this avoidable if he hadn't tattooed the damn murder scene on his pinche chest. HILARIOUS...

Swazi pair jailed for criticising judge's rulingComment on this story
Mbabane -
Swaziland newspaper editor Bheki Makhubu and the country's top human rights attorney, Thulani Maseko, have been arrested and jailed for contempt of court by Chief Justice Michael Ramodibedi for criticising one of his rulings in articles printed in Makhubu's political commentary magazine, The Nation.
At a hearing in his chambers which was closed to the media and public, Ramodibedi remanded both men for seven days on Tuesday.
"It was a kangaroo court," said attorney Michael Mkwanazi, who represented Maseko and claimed he was denied access to his client while they were in police custody.
Both Makhubu and Maseko wrote articles critical of a decision by Ramodibedi to jail government vehicle inspector Bhantshana Gwebu for doing his job.
Gwebu impounded the vehicle of Judge Esther Ota on January 21 because she was using it illegally to do shopping.
Ramodibedi denied Gwebu legal representation on the grounds that no attorney was present at the scene and could not corroborate his account.
Makhubu and Maseko wrote that Gwebu had previously confiscated Ramodibedi's government car when it had been misused while he had been out of the country, and suggested the treatment meted out to Gwebu was because of that. Gwebu spent nine days in custody.
Makhubu was convicted and sentenced to two years in prison by Ramodibedi in April for "scandalising the court" with articles in 2009 and 2010 critical of Ramodibedi. He is appealing against the verdict.
Maseko reportedly refused to apply for bail on principle.
No decision on bail for Makhubu was known at the time of publication.

Finding a new LBS!!!!
Okay, yesterday's highlight. I wanted to drive to a different part of town to look for a LBS that I heard of but never visited. I had stayed away because I thought they only catered to older folks, looking for single speed bikes, etc. The LBS I had been trying to use was not working out for me. They were the type where they sized you up once in the door and if you were not interested in their over-priced inventroy then they ignored you.
So I enter this other place and I am amazed at the accessory selection. The guy comes over looking like a fresh off the boat german countryside import (shorts with suspenders, funny hat, socks with sandles), etc. I ask him about packs and racks (I plan to start commuting). a half hour later I ask him about clipless, then about used road bikes, then about hiking (he sells hiking gear, as well as kayaks, conoes, etc.)
I found my new favorite store. Some of his prices are a bit high, but he stocks everything I want and is Local!!! YAHOOOOO!

You might want to find a copy of Law School Confidential. There's a lengthy discussion, including an interview with the Dean of Admissions at Cornell, about the process and what they look for. I imagine the process at most school's is pretty much in line with Cornell's.

Allen Honeycutt, a 59-year-old Cincinnati-area man, was sentenced to eight years in prison for his role in a large marijuana trafficking ring whose customers included students in two Warren County school districts. The ring gained widespread attention because one of its biggest players was a 17-year-old Mason High School student, Tyler Pagenstecher.
- Filed Under
A Cincinnati man has been sentenced to eight years in prison for his role in a drug-trafficking organization that supplied marijuana to students in two Warren County school districts, the Warren County Prosecutor's Office said in a news release Friday.
"Allen Honeycutt and his co-conspirators made hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars trafficking drugs to our young people. It is particularly satisfying to see him have to answer for his despicable actions," said Prosecutor David Fornshell in a news release.
A Warren County jury on Thursday convicted Honeycutt, 59, on ...

Grout: Inside and Out
Grout has the same ingredients as concrete, but because of the water/cement ratio, has a greater plasticity than concrete.
Natural stone and tile have been popular inclusions in modern home design for many years. They are loved because of their vast style options, durability, cleanliness, and natural qualities. Although it is possible to install tiles and stones without any space in-between, most homeowners prefer to have at least a small space. Not only does it look better, but it allows for some flexibility in the design. Obviously, these spaces can't be left empty, and thus it is a common practice to fill them with a concrete substance.
This concrete substance is called "grout". Grout has the same ingredients as concrete, but because of the water/cement ratio, has a greater plasticity than concrete. Grout is worked into the spaces between the tiles and then allowed to dry. After it is dry, it is finished with a protective seal to protect it from cracking or staining. It can be tinted several different colors to create a close match with the stone or tile.
Interior Grouting
Be sure your tile or stone has been allowed to dry for at least three days. Purchase a powdered grout, either sanded or non-sanded. Sanded grout is used primarily for wall joints or very thin ones, but non-sanded is mainly used on floor surfaces. Be careful to follow the mixing instructions on the package. An ideal consistency is a smooth paste. Too much water will make a messy, weak grout that will be more prone to cracking. Work the grout into the joint, being sure it settles completely without leaving any air pockets. Clean off the top of the seam and the tile with a damp sponge.
Exterior Grouting
The application of exterior grout is much the same as interior, although you need to take extra precautions against weather and temperature extremes. Be sure to follow the recommendations on the package. For exterior applications, choose a sanded grout mixed with a latex additive for more moisture resistance. Epoxy grouts can also be more resistant to moisture, but they can also trap moisture beneath them; so care must be taken in the installation. There are specially made grouts for exterior purposes depending on the material of your stone or tile.
Of course, tile installation is important. Each step requires patience and careful installation to ensure the lasting quality of the tile. If done in the wrong temperatures or if the process is hurried, it can lead to cracking and other problems. Be sure to only hire prescreened tiling and flooring contractors to install your tile or stone.

Sci-Fi Romance
Darkscape: The Rebel LordSubmitted by Rob Shelsky on Wed, 2009-04-01 05:18
Honor a commitment to a madman with genocide on his mind or turn traitor to save a race? How can one decide when the fate of an entire race will be sealed by that one decision? Can one woman make that choice – the fate of her heart in the mix as well?
Earth is uninhabitable and worse, the remainder of the solar system is at war. The remnants of humanity battle it out for their very survival. In the midst of all this madness, Lieutenant Kimberly Kinsale has even more to worry about, for she finds that she not only fights for a true madman, one intent upon genocide, but also against the very warrior she was once destined to marry. It's not just Kimberly's personal future at stake though, but also that of the entire human race. One wrong decision on her part and it could all end very badly -- for everyone!
This is the premise for Darkscape: The Rebel Lord by R. Garland Gray. Set in a far future where Earth is now rendered uninhabitable as a repercussion from the Dragon Comet's destruction of the planet Mercury, this is the story of Lieutenant Kimberly Kinsale. As a child, she is contracted to marry the leader of the Clan Douglas, one Lord Lachlan de Douglas, and "a royal heir from Ancient Earth". This is to cement ties between differing and sometimes feuding clans. These clans form the last vestiges of humanity. Scattered about as colonists on the worlds and various moons of the Solar System, it seems the human race now lives in an uneasy peace.
The SpawningSubmitted by Maîtresse on Sun, 2008-11-30 21:10
Undercover detective Miranda Hart's assignment is to track the white slavery ring that has been targeting young women; but when she does her job too well, she ends up kidnapped along with the rest of the victims. Only the kidnapping ring she's investigating is not the Russian white slavery ring she thinks she's targeting. Oh no. It's a whole lot farther away than that...
...which is something that she figures out when she is zapped by a white light directly into a SF channel special, only it's a real life episode set in a giant flying trash compactor run by boxy-headed three legged robots that shoot beams of light and herd dozens of kidnapped women like space-cattle in giant tubes. And that is not even the half of it. After an exam that make the free clinic downtown sound like a friendly picnic, travel accommodations that rival lock-proof fast-food burger boxes complete with jell condiment packing material, Ms Hart and her fellow kidnappees end up on some god-forsaken alien planet, hiking in ankle chains through an alien forest under the command of a lizardthingee in an astronaut costume.
Forced MateSubmitted by Maîtresse on Sat, 2007-10-06 08:09
Once upon a time there were arranged marriages. Luckily we don't have to worry about such things now. At least, those of us who aren't half-alien with mysterious pedigrees don't have to worry about arranged marriages. They bring up all kinds of issues that most contemporary cultures don't have to worry about. The initial relationship in Forced Mate falls into that category of unavoidable arrangements. In most situations, characters swept into life decisions by powers beyond their control would be thought of as a couple of limp biscuits, ready to crumble at the merest conflict.
A Bend in TimeSubmitted by Sabine on Mon, 2007-09-17 03:13
As a huge fan of romances involving time travel, the teaser for A Bend in Time by Michelle Miles caught my eye. Who can resist a story that could take you, along with the characters, anywhere in time? I certainly can't. While doing my pre-review research, I discovered that Ms. Miles previously published the elements of this story in serial form. A Bend in Time is actually a compilation of two seasons of serial romance all in one neat little package. Very convenient.
An accomplished writer who crafts her words in several genres, Ms. Miles treats us to a classic Sci-Fi Romance with A Bend in Time. The story introduces us to Skye and Dane, two people destined to travel to the ends of time together - whether they like it or not.
Fruits of BetrayalSubmitted by Nancy Louise on Mon, 2007-07-30 15:40
Science Fiction is often viewed as something geeks like to read, and shows where men like to gawk at girls in skimpy costumes. The thing is, most of the writers of science fiction, at least among the fan magazines and underground stories, are women. Fruits of Betrayal is a take by a woman on science fiction that is primarily a romance. Perhaps the latest change from the hard science, fictionalized to now romanticized as well as fantasized.
Prime TimeSubmitted by Nancy Louise on Fri, 2007-07-13 18:28
Could a geek and a streetwise survivor ever find true love? Vicky Burkholder seems to think so, and to prove her case she wrote Prime Time. Only in this tale, the geeks are known as Techies and the streetwise survivors are known as Porters. The light satire of the names is not lost on me. Porters are also the names of people who do all the physical labors in many so-called third-world countries. Techies? Well, that could be just about any American who happens to have a job above minimum wage.
Finders KeepersSubmitted by Aureauna on Wed, 2006-11-01 01:49
I've heard from other reviewers that Linnea Sinclair is a wonderful sci-fi fantasy romance author so when I was offered a chance to read her new speculative fiction book - Finders Keepers - I jumped at the chance. However, when I received the book and read the back blurb it stated that this book blended hard SF with sizzling romantic suspense. Now I'm not especially fond of hard SF since it tends to be a little too high tech for me so I had to wonder how these two elements could possibly blend and blend well.
Country PriestessSubmitted by Allie on Mon, 2006-10-30 17:26
Country Priestess centers around a little boy and his family. Timmy is not an ordinary boy. He's autistic. But at the same time, he's an artistic genius. The character of Timmy is so promising and interesting that he is what drew me to reading this book.
Timmy has a special relationship with his uncle Joe; he draws pictures. After Joe's girlfriend dies under strange circumstances, Timmy starts drawing mysterious pictures of maps, names of strangers, precognitive art--clues for his uncle Joe. In the meantime, Joe gets blinding headaches which seem to be contoured to controlling his behavior. Timmy's artwork is a beacon for his uncle.
Tiger GoldSubmitted by Maîtresse on Sun, 2006-10-29 03:20
I love humor. I haven't read all that much erotica that combines humor with story. Maybe the occasional funny character, or a hero or a heroine with a sense of humor. The concept of funny erotica might be an oxymoron, but even if it is, whenever I've come across it, I have enjoyed it immensely.
Asteroid6969 doesn't start out as if it has any humor. It starts off like a space opera, perhaps with a feel to it a little like the movie Space Pirates. Lance, the blond Adonis-like space pirate has to put down on Asteroid6969 and in the meantime, he's going to get a hot bath in real H20. He's also got an infestation, a space ship full of furzbas, small furballs that live off of energy. They're faintly reminiscent of tribbles, that charming nuisance of an animal documented in the original Star Trek series. Naked, our hero swashbuckles out of his bath to rescue a virgin wanna-be-submissive from the evil clutches of a Dom who's meaner than she'd expected.
Dragons Law: DamonSubmitted by Tammy on Thu, 2006-10-26 16:13
Alicia Sparks' Dragon's Law: Damon, is a book with a plot so complex that any attempt at writing a synopsis would reveal enough of the book to ruin it for some readers so instead, let me tell you about a couple of my favorite scenes and characters.
Damon is a man with a mission. He needs to find his betrothed before time runs out, in order to save his kingdom and throne from his worse enemy, his own brother. Six years earlier, during a struggle between the brothers,

QEEG, LORETA & Neurofeedback Reports
Digitally recorded QEEG data is visually inspected and artifact rejected by a trained electroencephalographer. The artifacted data is processed with WinEEG software which includes spectrograms and scalp topographies of magnitude, relative power, coherence, asymmetry and standardized Low Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography (sLORETA).
These measures are compared to the Human Brain Institute normative database. The normative database includes healthy controls carefully screened for normalcy between the ages of 7 and 89 years old under the tasks of eyes closed, eyes open, reading, mathematics, listening and computerized continuous performance task.
Interpretation and neurofeedback recommendations are based upon the clinical information presented along with the individual's QEEG, quantitative analysis, sLORETA analysis and database comparisons. Recommendations are provided by Leslie Sherlin, PhD, who is certified at the diplomate level in quantitative electroencephalography and is board certified in both neurofeedback and biofeedback.
QEEG Reports

Disclosure: Four Dog Stove sent me this stove to test after reading about my frustrations with another wood stove. In return I agreed to post my impressions about the stove (good or bad) on this forum.--This backpacking stove is one of the few light-weight titanium ones that is designed for group cooking (3+ people). It is perfect for what I need because I am frequently cooking for 5 when I take my family out on backpacking trips. What I like:- Multi-fuel: burns alcohol, wood, charcoal briquettes, wood pellets, Esbit, etc.- Stable: supports large pots (2L or more)- Large capacity: doesen't require constant feeding like some of the other stoves with a smaller firebox- Double-walled: once it gets going it is almost completely smokeless due to the secondary burn- Light-weight: mine weighs-in at 5 oz- Works with almost any sized pot- Compact: fits perfectly in the Snow Peak Trek 1400 pot.- Competitively priced: $105What I don't like:- Unlike the Bushbuddy, the bottom of the stove gets very hot and so you have to be careful where you burn it- Finding a windscreen configuration that works can be difficult due to the stove heightFor more detailed review, as well as photos, you can also check out my blog post on the subject here: http://www.adventureinprogress.com/four-dog-stove-bushcooker-lt-iii

"Live long and prosper."
George Takei has taken to heart the saying made famous by his "Star Trek" co-star Leonard Nimoy. The 76-year-old's storied life has led him down a long, winding road.
From being imprisoned in a Japanese-American internment camp for part of his childhood to becoming a science-fiction icon as Lt. Hikaru Sulu to being an outspoken activist for gay rights and historical preservation, his experiences have shaped his life — a gift he wholeheartedly embraces.
"Find the future as a bracing challenge to really see it as something invigorating," said Takei, who will be at the Denver Comic Con, which takes over the Colorado Convention Center this weekend. "Yes the challenge might be difficult, but we have the capacity in us to deal with it and find solutions and deal with them."
Takei's latest foray took him into the world of social media. What started as an attempt to build buzz for "Allegiance" — a musical he helped develop about the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II — has exploded into more than 4.1 million "likes" on Facebook and reintroduced the actor to a new audience through a bevy of Internet memes, witty retorts and funny videos.
Takei chronicled his rise in the medium with his book, "Oh Myyy! There Goes The Internet," a story that begs for an audiobook treatment utilizing his unmistakably deep bass voice.
"We needed to do a little tilling of the soil for its Broadway run," Takei said of "Allegiance." "This amazing technology just grew and grew ... It's astronomical. It's really amazing. It's something I never expected."
The musical, expected to make its Broadway debut this season, benefited from the campaign, selling out shows and setting box office records at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego.
"We broke all records in their 77-year history," he said. "Social media works. Broadway hasn't been doing that, so I think we can teach a thing or two to the Broadway crowd as well."
Takei, who also stars in the show as Sam Kimura, said that while there's still a ways to go, the landscape for actors of Asian descent is much different now from when he earned his first paid acting gig in 1958.
"In those days, Asian roles were very sparse," Takei said. "The few roles that were there were pretty stereotypical roles."
And being a young, gay actor made it tougher. He had to hide his sexual orientation in order to find work, he said.
"They find all sorts of reasons to reject you when you're auditioning for something," Takei said. "Too tall, too short, too fat, too skinny, too Asian, not Asian enough — you didn't want to add another 'too this' or 'too that' to the qualifications casting directors and producers and actors have."
In 1965, he landed his biggest stint when Gene Roddenberry cast him in "Star Trek." Takei remembered the producer's struggle to choose a name for his character. Meant to represent Asia, he wanted to find a name that wasn't national-specific because of the continent's history of warfare in the 20th century.
"(Roddenberry) was staring at the map of Asia he had pinned on his wall in his office and saw that off the coast in the Philippines is a sea called Sulu Sea," Takei said. "He thought, 'The waters of a sea touch all shores.' "
When the new Star Trek movies were being cast, Takei said, director J.J. Abrams invited him to breakfast because he was struggling to find a Japanese-American to fill in the role of Sulu.
"(Abrams) found someone who's not Japanese-American and wanted to know how I thought of that," Takei said. "I asked him, 'Is he Asian-American?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'That's all that matters.' "
The actor he found was John Cho, someone Takei had seen perform a decade earlier with East West Players, out of Los Angeles. When the two met for lunch, Cho expressed concern about the challenge of living up to the Star Trek fanbase, Takei said.
"I told him, 'Rest assured, it won't be too long before I will be known as the old guy who used to play John Cho's part,' " Takei said.
Today, Takei keeps busy starring in the Nickelodeon series "Supah Ninjas," as well as making numerous guest appearances on film and television.
At an age where many Americans have retired, he looks to boldly explore new frontiers.

Project Title 1: Free DON will be determined using our normal procedures of solvent extraction and analysis by GC-ECD or GC-MS. Bound DON will be determined following treatment of samples by TCA solvolysis, or with proteases. The content of DON-3-glucoside will estimated by HPLC following solvent extraction. Samples for objective 1 are to be obtained from a regional barley quality survey, while those for objective 2 will be obtained from the North American Barley Scab Evaluation Nursery (NABSEN). Wheat samples obtained from a regional quality survey, and the NDSU hard red spring wheat variety development trials, will be included for comparative purposes. Project Title 2: Analysis (DON) of up to 16,000 barley samples on an annual basis. Analysis of regional barley crop samples will provide annual information on DON levels. An inter-laboratory check service is offered as a means for improving the reproducibility of DON analyses between laboratories.

Fighting Disease: Benin
Eradicating Guinea Worm Disease
Current Status: Transmission stopped, March 2004 (read the announcement)
Certification of Dracunculiasis Eradication: 2009
Current Guinea worm case reports >
In 1993, Benin reported approximately 14,000 cases of Guinea worm, and The Carter Center assisted the Ministry of Health in establishing a national program to eradicate the disease. By 2004, only three indigenous cases were reported.
Guinea worm prevention approaches introduced in local communities included: health education; distribution of nylon filters to sieve out tiny water fleas carrying infective larvae; treatments of stagnant ponds with safe, monthly ABATE® larvicide treatments (donated by BASF); direct advocacy with water organizations; and increased efforts to build safer hand-dug wells.
Village volunteers, who were trained, supplied, and supervised by the program, carried out daily surveillance and interventions.
Benin greatly improved its Guinea worm surveillance by fully implementing strategies to contain cases within 24 hours of case detection. To help educate the public and raise awareness about Guinea worm, The Carter Center facilitated the recording of Guinea worm radio public service announcements in French, the official language of Benin. Listen to Guinea worm public service announcements >
In communities throughout the country, women were enlisted in the fight against Guinea worm disease. Directly responsible for obtaining water for household use, the women noticed if people with Guinea worm disease entered water sources to bathe or collect water and were able to quickly spot and report outbreaks.
The program recruited three university-trained women who were assigned to monitor outbreaks in one of three highly endemic regions: Mono, Zou, and Collines. These women, called social assistants, were the first of a future network of women in Benin's most endemic communities. Each social assistant began by training other women to search for cases of Guinea worm, log cases in the village register, and apply bandages to wounds caused by emerging worms.
The women also were taught to care for and distribute water filters, verify that ponds were treated monthly with ABATE, and encourage use of potable water, when available. Making rounds twice a month, the women visited at least 25 households each and recommended and selected other women for training. Learn more about mothers fighting Guinea worm disease in Benin (Carter Center News, PDF, July - December 2002, p. 9) >
With support from her fellow villagers in Tchetti, one social assistant rallied against a negligent village volunteer when he refused to report an outbreak of Guinea worm disease because he did not want to be embarrassed. The women went to the local radio station, which routinely aired messages about preventing Guinea worm disease, announced the outbreak, and denounced the irresponsible behavior of the village volunteer. Her intervention allowed the eradication program to take action immediately to contain the outbreak.
Between 2003 and 2004, the national program reported a 90 percent decrease in recorded cases of Guinea worm.
In April of 2005, Benin officially reported 13 consecutive months of zero indigenous cases, demonstrating that transmission of the disease had been stopped.
Benin was honored at a special ceremony at The Carter Center in Atlanta in 2006 for having stopped Guinea worm disease transmission. Read more about the special ceremony >
Working with the Benin Ministry of Agriculture, the Carter Center's Agriculture Program assisted farmers in Benin with agricultural production from 1989-1996. The program, in partnership with the Sasakawa Africa Association and led by the late Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Norman Borlaug, was part of a larger joint initiative that helped more than 8 million small-scale, sub-Saharan farmers double or triple crop yields in countries where malnutrition was a constant threat.
The program in Benin assisted 100,000 families to adopt green manure crops, such as velvet bean, quality protein maize, and rice. Improved seeds, paired with the use of new farming technologies, helped farmers enhance soil fertility and control noxious weeds, thus increasing crop yield. The program then aided farmers in identifying local markets to sell their surplus harvests. Most farmers were able to save enough money from these earnings to diversify their holdings by purchasing livestock or different types of seeds.
Yet obstacles remained, including the physical distance to the nearest bank. Consequently, The Carter Center Agriculture Program, in conjunction with the Ministry of Rural Development, assisted farmers to develop village-based savings and loan banks, which brought together farmers, small traders, artisans, and cattle owners to contribute resources and create their own savings and loan association.
Benin's success with the savings and loan banks inspired other nations, including Burkina Faso, Togo, and Mali, to adopt similar programs.
Achievements like these led The Carter Center and the Sasakawa Africa Association to end its in-country agricultural activities in Benin in 1999.

I like Park very much. My main concern is whether or not my children are being disciplined enough. I also wonder if they get enough homework. I know my kids like going to school and are happy almost every day they come home. They are thriving and I am hoping they will continue to grow in their love of learning at Park.

Gun cleaning mishap sends bullet through wall, teen next door is hit
PORTLAND, Ore. - A 17-year-old girl was injured Wednesday evening when a bullet traveled through a wall and hit her.
The incident happened around 7:30 p.m. at an apartment complex in the 1200 block of Southeast 130th Avenue.
Christopher Morris, 52, told police he was cleaning a lever-action rifle when the gun discharged, sending a bullet into a neighboring unit. The bullet went through a wall and a couch, hit the teenager's leg and then went through another wall.
The young woman, Leilina Chipen, suffered a non-life-threatening leg wound and was taken to a hospital for treatment. She has since been released.
For Rebecca Andyke, another neighbor, it was a close call.
"We were both sitting on the couch. It easily could have been us - easily," she said. "We're lucky to be safe and able to go home tonight and I wish the best for the girl who got grazed."
Morris cooperated in the investigation and no charges have been filed at this time. However, the case has been forwarded to the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office.

Jadeveon Clowney puts on a USC hat, Monda at South Pointe High School in Rock Hill, S.C., after announcing that he will play football for the University of South Carolina next season.
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina's consensus All-American Jadeveon Clowney has spent much of this month collecting honors and attending banquets as one of college football's best players.
The Hendricks Award winner has even bigger goals ahead in 2013.
Clowney believes "a defensive player can win the Heisman next year."
He has already begun working to make sure he's the defensive player in contention for the sport's biggest individual prize next season.
The Southeastern Conference's leader with 13 sacks was back at practice last weekend as the 11th-ranked Gamecocks (10-2) prepare for No. 19 Michigan (8-4) in the Outback Bowl on New Year's Day.

The Area Agency on Aging in El Paso is feeling the effects of federal sequestration; the budget cuts are affecting its ability to pay for a senior nutrition program.
The agency, which contracts with the county to provide congregate and home-delivered meals for hundreds of seniors, asked Commissioners Court on Monday to defer its $173,000 in payments for the months of April and May.
Ivette Lugo, director of the Area Agency on Aging in El Paso, said the agency has not received the federal funding to pay for the county meals. She did say the money is expected to be released sometime in May.
"We are coming to you all to ask if you would consider a delay in payment for services," Lugo told Commissioners Court. "We are trying not to interrupt services for our clients."
The Area Agency on Aging in El Paso provides meals to 2,600 seniors at 21 centers throughout the county. In addition, it delivers 245 home meals.
County Auditor Edward Dion said the 2013 budget for the senior nutrition program is about $2.5 million, from which the county only funds $250,000.
In addition, the county pays about $552,848 to administrative personnel to support the program, he added.
County Judge Veronica Escobar recommended the court defer the payment and said that if by the end of May they see an indication that the county is not going to be reimbursed, then the court will have to study the future of the program during county budget hearings.
"I would like for the court to continue these services going forward at least to the end of the fiscal year and then it will give us time to see what happens," Escobar said.
The county will use funds from its general fund to cover the expenditures if the agency is not able to pay for the service.
Commissioner Dan Haggerty said he does not think the sequestration issue is going to be resolved any time soon and believes the Area Agency on Aging is not going to get any more money out of the federal government.
He said the county might never get reimbursed and the court needs to plan for the worst -- elimination of the program.
Escobar said that even if the funding is no longer available, she would like to keep the program.
"My hope is to get reimbursed. If we don't, I'm willing to shoulder the burden going forward," she said.
Lugo said she "fully believes" the agency is going to be able to continue to provide the meal services at least through the end of the fiscal year, which ends Sep. 31.
"It's next year that we definitely need to address this," Lugo said.
In addition to the senior meals programs, other services provided by the agency such as senior transportation and caregiver services have been affected, Lugo said.
She said that for the current fiscal year, the agency saw a 5 percent reduction in its budget.

- County Commissioners Court approved extending the outdoor burning ban in unincorporated areas for another 90 days. The ban was first issued in April 2011.

Reviews of Country Gardens Assisted Living
Average Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars based on 2 Reviews
I visited this facility
I was not impressed with Country Gardens Assisted Living probably because for me it was a nursing home and I don't need a nursing, what I needed was an assisted living. But it was clean although the rooms are small. It was very much like an institution. Mildred had Alzheimer's but she knew what's going and and I don't want to put her in an institution or a nursing home.
I visited this facility
My great aunt has had many complicated and chronic health conditions after her heart attack several years ago. When searching for a facility, we didn't just need somewhere that merely checked in on their residents, but a facility that is capable of delivering high quality and specialized medical care. We found exactly what we were looking for right here in Butler, Georgia. I always found the caregivers to be courteous, knowledgeable, and respectful of the dignity of the people in their charge. My great aunt has also confirmed that she has the same experience. She would often tell of how the caregivers went above and beyond to make her feel like this was not just somewhere she had to stay, but somewhere that she could feel comfortable with calling her second home. The d̩cor of the assisted living facility was warm and inviting, and residents who wanted to could sit on the old style porch outside and enjoy the outdoors. I would definitely recommend this facility for anyone who is looking to place a loved one in an assisted-living environment, or for someone considering staying there themselves.

You can't imagine how lost I was when trying to edit the crontab for root, until I found out that crontab uses the VISUAL env variable. And I am _very_ glad mg is available in the default install. Though I use zile for most of the small edits though. It does have a proper EOF detection. Tip for people who have /usr on a different partition: 1) Build your favourite mini-editor staticly and install it in /bin 2) Copy /usr/share/misc/termcap to /etc/termcap (and don't overwrite that file with the next update ;-) # Han
