I lost my f***ing marbles, says actorComment on this story
London - Ben Foster cries every time he sees a bicycle.
The 33-year-old actor, who is engaged to 'House of Cards' actress Robin Wright, recently finished filming the upcoming untitled Stephen Frears biopic about Lance Armstrong and admits he lost his "f**king marbles" during the "brutal" shoot.
The 'Streetcar' actor told the UK's The Telegraph newspaper: "I break into tears every time I see a bike."
He added: "I lost my f**king marbles on that shoot."
Ben admits the emotional storyline about the disgraced cyclist took more a toll on him than the physical demands of the role, but it also made him realise that the former Tour de France titan isn't a bad person and "enriched" a lot of people's lives.
He said: "The man's story isn't over. I get to go home at night. He's waking up, and he's got his kids and those who have suffered because of him. And those who have been enriched by him. Half a billion dollars raised for cancer research. That's something."
The 'Lone Survivor' star also revealed he hates rehearsing with his co-stars.
He said: "I usually have at least five weeks to prepare but rehearsal is a solo deal for me. I don't like to rehearse, and the filmmakers that I have been drawn to are interested in provoking something between people rather than nailing a scene in advance.
"The luxury of this job is you get to listen to specialists and engage in questioning people you are interested in talking to." - BANG Showbiz

In addition to services Anarchy Planet is a point of departure for an entire world of autonomous anarchist projects (aka a portal). This includes an introduction to anarchy, a news site for anarchists, a site where you can buy anarchist ephemera, a forum, an extensive archive of anarchist texts, and a site for review essays and intelligent conversation.
In addition, Anarchy Planet is putting into place an infrastructure for future anarchist projects and current anarchist opinion. This is collective project will coordinate technology and human resources to fill needs as required by the residents of the Anarchy Planet.
While the Anarchy Planet will be filled with some of the most interesting and energetic wings of the current times we recognize that there are other planets out there. We want our relationship to those places to be friendly. We intend to send clear text transmissions that we hope make it to these other locations but, and importantly, we will attempt to highlight the exciting things going on at other places (on occasion). We want to respect the time that other groups have put into their projects and that means sharing what we know, what we are doing, and learning from others. We hope for the best of cross-pollination without being infected by the worst effects of political flattening that happens in coalition projects.
There will be links, offers of support, and sociability as a principle between the Anarchy Planet and the others in our universe.]]>

RSL's Robbie Findley finding his old form
Sandy •Â Robbie Findley had already assisted on one Real Salt Lake goal when he ripped a curling shot for a score of his own Saturday. His teammates surrounded him, with defender Chris Wingert joyfully pointing to the name on the back of Findley's jersey.
Some could be forgiven if they needed the reminder.
Despite having a pair of tap-in goals coming into Saturday's match with San Jose, Findley had yet to look like the former World Cup starter who had scored in bunches and helped RSL win the MLS Cup in his first stint with the team.
Findley, however, quieted many a critic with his latest performance.
"It's a matter of seeing playing time on a consistent basis and training on a consistent basis," coach Jason Kreis said. "Really for this entire [season], he trained for one week and was out for one week, trained for two weeks and was out for two weeks. It's just been very sporadic, and you just can't find any rhythm or flow or form in that setup."
Findley, who has dealt with a groin and knee injury off and on this year, said he was not 100 percent healthy during some of his previous outings and that "in the back of my mind I was a little hesitant to do some things and maybe was shy about some things."
"Just going through the injury stuff and just trying to get back on the field and stay healthy, that's probably where the confidence was lacking," the striker said. "And it's no more. I'm confident when I step out there."
Findley now has three goals on the year, tied for second most on the team. With leading scorer Alvaro Saborio off with the Costa Rican national team, RSL will need even more from Findley.
"We need him to be sharp," defender Nat Borchers said. "He's our veteran guy up top right now. He's been playing more than any of those guys. For him to have good games is very important to us."
International duty
Saborio won't be the only RSL player unavailable due to national duties. While the striker, who has missed time lately with a quad injury, is off with the Costa Rica squad, backup defender Abdoulie Mansally will be playing for Gambia.
RSL also expects midfielder Luis Gil to soon be called to join the U.S. for the Under-20 World Cup later this month in Turkey.
"I'm very excited for him," Kreis said of Gil. "I think it could be a terrific opportunity."

City services will be impacted by employee layoffs
September 8, 2009
By Warren Kagarise
Residents may notice more weeds at city parks, longer waits for passports and fewer road projects next year as municipal officials trim expenses by about $7 million.
After months of penny pinching, officials took another dramatic cost-saving step last week when Mayor Ava Frisinger announced the layoffs of 10 city employees.
Employees in the municipal Building, Human Resources, Parks & Recreation, Planning and Public Works Engineering departments received notice their positions would be eliminated. Some of the departments have been hit by a downturn in building construction. Money for the Building Department, for instance, is generated through building permits — which dropped precipitously as construction slowed.
The layoffs followed a hiring freeze and a voluntary severance program enacted by the city. Municipal officials will save about $595,000 next year after seven employees opted for a severance package. All told, the hiring freeze, severance program and layoffs will save the city $2.025 million. About 75 percent of the municipal operating budget is associated with staffing. About one-third of salary costs for city employees are associated with benefits.
City Council members adopted a $109.5 million municipal budget in December.
The layoffs are the first in recent memory related to budget problems. Overall, the size of city staff will shrink by about 10 percent, or 27 positions.
Additional layoffs are "not something we anticipate, but it's not something we can rule out," Frisinger said.
Issaquah faces a $3.6 million shortfall for 2009; a similar decline in city revenue is projected for next year. Major sources of dollars for the city — building permits and sales tax revenue — have dropped amid the recession.
Officials have also deferred the purchase of supplies and equipment, and suspended nonessential staff training to save money throughout the year.
City spokeswoman Autumn Monahan said the effects of cost-saving measures have been wide-ranging.
"Every department at City Hall has been affected by the staff reductions, whether it's been through frozen positions, the voluntary separation or layoffs," she said.
Monahan said cuts were made in order for the city to maintain essential services, such as police and utilities, at adequate levels.
But the cuts will impact other city services. Frisinger said city workers would cut park maintenance and road projects to save money. Residents could also notice longer waits for passports at City Hall.
The pace of large-scale projects will also slow, though the long-planned Interstate 90 Undercrossing will be unaffected. Officials are re-evaluating other projects to see if costs can be curbed.
Frisinger is due to present her 2010 budget to the City Council on Oct. 5. The presentation will be followed by weeks of budget hearings, during which officials will decide what to cut and what to preserve. Council members will adopt the budget Dec. 21.
The mayor said department directors have been vigilant about keeping expenses down as they budget for 2010.
Duties assigned to laid off employees will be reassigned to remaining staffers. City leaders took similar steps to redistribute the duties assigned to vacant positions and employees who opted for the severance.
Frisinger said factors such as seniority and workload were considered as officials decided which positions to eliminate. Though the last day of work for laid off employees will be Sept. 15, Frisinger said the employees would continue to be paid through the end of September, and their medical and dental benefits will continue for three months.
Employees who received layoff notices were offered counseling and career transition help.
The layoffs came a week after the city hosted a reception to honor seven employees who opted for a severance package. Frisinger described the mood at municipal buildings as somber and serious as employees were notified Sept. 3.
Layoffs, Frisinger said, were "not a choice we wanted to make."
What to know
Several city departments will operate with fewer employees as a result of layoffs, vacancies and a voluntary severance program. About 10 percent of the city workforce — or 27 employee positions — has been cut. The following departments were impacted:
Parks & Recreation, staff reduction of seven
Building, staff reduction of five
Issaquah Police, staff reduction of three
Planning, staff reduction of three
Public Works Engineering, staff reduction of three
Executive, staff reduction of two
Finance, staff reduction of two
Human Resources, staff reduction of one
Public Works Operations, staff reduction of one

Local history 'doodle' book is aimed at kids
November 26, 2013
By Sam Barbee
Once a small logging village, Issaquah was settled in the 1860s and officially incorporated in 1892. Landmarks still exist around town from the early days, reminding citizens of the area's rich heritage.
The problem is, the histories of these sites have been slowly fading away, and newer residents — including families — likely have no idea what they represent.
Enter Tom Anderson, a software engineer and secretary of the board of the Issaquah History Museums. Two years ago at an ArtWalk, Anderson was wandering with his daughter when he hit upon an idea of a "doodle" book for children so they could learn more about their historic town.
Two years later, "The Issaquah Doodle Book" was published and it's now available for purchase. The "doodle book" is a children's book that gives children a chance to interact with historical sites around Issaquah. They can color or draw on them, and there are other children's activities included, like connect-the-dots.
"All we got are old history books that are of interest to the ancients, but, you know, not to the kids," Anderson said. "Let's make Issaquah history interesting to kids" as well.
Anderson's book provides black-and-white images of Issaquah landmarks, such as the Train Depot and the Harvey Manning statue. He says many local children see the landmarks and know nothing about them. Now, he said, they can start building memories.
Museums Director Erica Maniez has been aware of the project since Anderson came up with the idea and has been a supporter from the beginning.
"I think that there's probably a lot of stuff in downtown Issaquah that people walk past and may not know the story behind it," she said. "I think that most people could learn a few interesting tidbits of information about Issaquah by going through the book."
Anderson took the photos and sketched the drawings himself, and it was published by the Issaquah History Museums using CreateSpace, a division of Amazon.com.
What is most interesting, according to Anderson, is the way CreateSpace prints books. Anderson's original order, which was about 60 books, took about a week and a half to arrive.
Anderson later ordered just one book as an experiment to see how long it would take. It arrived in three days.
There is no inventory of books sitting in a warehouse; instead, CreateSpace prints books immediately after order and ships them after printing.
According to a member service representative at CreateSpace, on-demand printing has been shown to be much more effective in its business model than traditional printing. Studies indicate that it uses less oil and paper, and is better for the environment. Similarly, there is no money tied up in holding inventory.
Both Anderson and Maniez are hopeful "The Issaquah Doodle Book" will bring more traffic to the downtown area, but more importantly, they hope the book will provide some education.
"I like it a lot," Maniez said about the book. "I think that it's got really simple, interactive language.
"Lots of parents and kids could have some interesting conversations around the pieces of information and the pictures that are in the book."

No longer top of the food chain. It's all downhill from here.
As I write this, the EATR is under active development. The Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot, funded by Darpa, is a robot designed to eat everything in front of it for fuel. Fuel that it will use to swarm around with its mates and kill humans. Even better – once the human corpses have dried out a bit, EATR could eat them too, to fuel more roaming and swarming and human-killing. Sure, the builder, RTI, states that this filthy business is for "the benefit of humanity". But if Darpa could have found a way to fit a death ray on to the internet… well, most of you probably wouldn't be around to read this. EATR – they called it EATR! – isn't intended to roll around the farm and eat slugs for power like that cute little agri-bot that was on the BBC a few years back. EATR will eat logs and roadkill and shrubs and basically anything that is or was alive – and all in the pursuit of gunning down, blowing up and probably yanking the junk off humans.

An Overview of The OBE
When you awake from a dream and are able to remember every detail vividly, down to the very smallest elements, you have had an experience of astral projecting. You may have had this happen to you many times – this shows you that you can astral project!
Methods that help you to relax like meditating helps to promote projection. Meditation prepares the mind and body for astral projection and all it takes is practice and time through meditating properly astral projection real.
In astral projection real focus on the images and you will feel like shivering. Never get hesitated with or try to stop it. Let it to continue, then you will feel like your body is motionless and you can't hear sound of breathing. Keep calm and allow your soul to leave body.
Three feelings you can expect to experience that will let you know that you have achieved astral projection are initially feeling as through your floating or moving. You will then see lights and colors even though your eyes are closed, this is believed to be your body moving into the astral world.
During astral projection real the soul leaves the physical. When you astral project you remain attached to your physical body by a silver cord just like the umbilical cord. Although you may not be able to see it. In order to astral project which is an out of body experience one must feel completely relaxed, clothing should be comfortable and it's best known to recline.
Relatively few people, though, comprehend that astral projection is a real event, and that everyone is capable of doing it. It is extremely likely that you have astral projected without even knowing it.
One can find many places on internet which helps in bringing the person into a state of astral projection real or out of body. Astral projection is not a very difficult task to achieve into life, one should know particularly about the ways to bring it under control. It is a natural process used by ancients too.
You can find danger if your mind is not sound when you astral project astral projection real. Therefore, anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol can find themselves in a crisis. These may be the lower levels of the astral plane astral projection real.
Your spirit will leave your soul slowly. Don't confuse your mind about any thing possibility of getting back to body, that may fail you to go on. Release your leg and arm from your body. You will feel like loosing your weight. Now your soul is almost left from your body. Enjoy the experience of astral projection real through these astral projection real techniques.
It will get you fully relaxed as well as going through the stages with you astral projection real. The advantage of this rather than a professional session is that you can keep playing the recording several times until your subconscious mind gets the message that it is perfectly okay for you to leave your body.
Astral projection is similar to out of body experience achieved either in wakeful condition or in dreaming state. It is referred to as the sensation when someone feels like he is sensing floating outside his or her body. People undergoing this projection claimed that they experienced some sensations very close to death.
Do you still not totally believe this is for real? Well have you ever had dreams that you were flying or had the sensation of falling? The flying was your astral body actually traveling through the various astral planes. The sensation of falling is the astral body coming back to the physical body after it traveling around astral projection real.
The phenomenon of astral projection real got wide attention because of religious supports from long back. In religious terms it knows as spiritual walking. However this phenomenon got enough scientific evidence today. Astral travel normally occurs when a body is about to death. Human soul will leave body and look down upon it when the physicians trying hard to save body.
Meditation is a really important component which is critical for grasping astral projection. When you use meditation one achieves increased self-consciousness with knowledge about his real self and real potential. It facilitates relaxing one's mind, increasing awareness and control over one's subconscious mind and helps in visualizing and focusing all of his energy and attention towards that vision which is very important in case of grasping astral projection astral projection real.
Learn astral projection real through the following steps. Firstly we should find a quiet and dimly lit room for inducing astral projection real. We should wear loose and comfortable clothes and then start off by breathing deeply in order to relax and rid ourselves of all tensions and negative thoughts that create distractions.
An astral plane describes another plane of existence, a different world of consciousness divided from that of the physical body astral projection real. Propagated by early religions and additional esoteric philosophers, the term astral projection entails your spirit travelling forth from your physical body to an alternative astral plane astral projection real.
Discussing astral projection real. Astral Projection is the travel of your spirit self leaving the physical body temporarily for higher astral planes or levels of consciousness. Astral projection methods to induce the correct mental state are therefore threefold in nature � Mental, where someone controls their mind through meditation to achieve the feat, mechanical, where technology is used for example sound-waves and electro magnetic waves and finally chemical, whereby drugs are used for achieving the desired mental state.
Fourthly, mastering astral projection entails producing the right environment astral projection real. Arrange for a location which is calm and quiet. Just a dimly lit or candle lit environment where there are no electronic gadgets to interfere with the process will suffice astral projection real. Begin with using meditational methods to soothe yourself and acquire control of your mind. Let your body rest while increasing the focus of your mind. Have a vision of yourself moving from your body or alternatively climbing out of your body with the assistance of something like a rope, so that in case you feel any resistance, you can concentrate all your attention and energy on this vision. Another thing is that you should wear comfy clothes, eat only vegetarian food prior to such workouts and abstinence from products such as alcohol or caffeine.
Out of body experiences are rare and extremely difficult to induce. But in talking about conducive conditions facilitating such experience, mention may be made of near death experiences and sleep. In the first case, many recorded incidents show that people who have been victims of drowning, motor accidents and the like have felt themselves going out of their body for a brief period of time. Some have even seen the accident to happen from outside.
Nearly one in every ten people have gone through an experience like this at one point in the lives. Because the number of individuals that have experienced an OBE, this cannot be looked at with skepticism astral projection real.
For astral projection real, one can also use technological induction methods like binaural beats, which involves using different sound vibrations in each ear which synchronizes and fuses together in one's brain to create a mental condition which is conducive to out of body experiences. Whatever the method used, an out of body experience is difficult to achieve and requires a lot of focus, but once attained it is an out of the world experience.
Concentration and focus is required in order to have an out of body experience at will though because your conscious mind will work against you to prevent your astral body from leaving astral projection real. There is an innate fear that your astral body will not come back and this acts like a roadblock when you want to learn astral projection.
An out-of-body experience (OBE) is an experience which mainly involves feeling or a sensation of floating outside one's body and, in some cases, visualizing or perceiving their own body when still at the original position.
These people explain that their experiences were definitely not a dream and they were in an entirely different realm or sphere and undergoing experiences there. If you want to enter the exciting world of astral projection and astral travel, just remember that as long as you believe it's possible you will be able to do it.
It may occur for different reasons. Use of Psychedelic drugs causes the body slips to deeper comma state and results in astral projection real or when one is the trance for any other reasons. If you want astral projection real it is not as hard as you think.
When you awake from a dream remembering every single detail, this was not a dream; you were astral projecting.
Some people who have problems in their relationships may not be able to have out of body experiences. They must create a support system around themselves and try to discuss their problems and astral projection real with others.
The breaths you take should come from deep down inside. As your breathing slows down, focus more and more on relaxing your body.
In normal cases Out of body experience may occur for variety of reasons. Use of Psychedelic drugs may causes your body to slips to deeper comma state and results in astral projection real, or any other reason that may lips you to trance.
In general, the majority of the population has heard of out of body. They may have heard of it from a reading a book, watching a movie or from an enlightened friend.
In astral projection real select a room, which should allow you to meditate and practice astral dream techniques. Nothing should be distract your attention and deviate your thoughts. If it is in your home make sure that the room is isolated and free from disturbances from others.
You need to understand what Out of Body really is. Out of Body is the ability of an individual to leave his or her body astral projection real. Everyone has the ability to do this; everyone does this when he or she lay down to sleep at night astral projection real. While sleeping the physical mind is resting and the subconscious mind takes control. A person astral projects while this is happening. However, the majority may never remember astral projecting.
Learn Astral Projection by starting off with the basic arrangements first. Get yourself a dimly lit, calm and quite room where you would not be disturbed. Lie down wearing loose and comfortable clothing and start by deeply breathing in and out cleansing your mind from all negative thoughts, worries, anger or envy bothering you in the recent days and relaxing your entire being.
A new audio technology called binaural beats is also effective at inducing the state of relaxation required for out of body. Two slightly different frequencies are played over each audio channel, tuning your mind into the proper state to astral project.
When you come to practice out of body experience, never go with a half heart that will never help you to reach your aim. So believe and convince your mind that your soul can leave your body and it can regain after astral projection real. Set up all these conditions which are essential for spiritual travel. Next is practicing astral projection real. Choose a room which can give you perfect solitude and complete silence. Better to close all doors and windows to close light source which may disturb your concentration.
Very few really understand that astral projection can really be done and that anybody can do it. Possibilities are very good that you at one time have astral projected without knowing it.
Easy astral projection real can be attained by making meditation a part and parcel of your life and practicing visualizing and concentrating regularly. Easy astral projection real is achieved by visualizing yourself floating out from your body and intensely focusing on this vision. One may also visualize a ball of light and concentrate on seeing yourself slowly leaving your body to enter this ball. Using of a prop, say a rope, can also help you visualize yourself leaving our body by climbing out of it for easy astral projection real.
This brings up the next thing to talk about, what exactly the astral body is. The astral body actually is an invisible copy of your body, this is most commonly called the ethereal body. It is the center of our desires and feelings. Why is it that the astral body does not just leave and not return? Your astral body is actually connected to your physical body by a silver cord astral projection real.
You should when attempting astral projection real, light some good, cleansing, incense to help you ground and center well. Then you can ground and center yourself. This step to center and ground is important even when you do not intend to leave your body. This is required to be followed as grounding supports you to positively make a connection of your silver cord to your body and secondly, it provides you energy source, large enough to channel through yourself in order for you to reach the correct state of vibration which prepares you to move out of your body.
With the correct preparation astral projection can be done by you quickly astral projection real.
People can astral projection real in many ways and achieve projection. To begin with your mind and body needs to be prepared to enable it to Astral Project. There are different technologies used to achieve it. After extensive experimentation scientists have discovered through the whole range of frequencies that a certain mixture of theta and alpha wave frequencies result in a total awareness shift favorable to projection.
It is important to remember that this is not actually an acquired skill but something that is already known to each person. They simply need to remember how to astral project and then to practice in order to obtain a level of proficiency.

Frankenbike, my oft-tweaked Falcon, went to work today. It was wet and my cycling shoes hadn't dried out from yesterday's trip home. NO problem with toe clips on the Falcon. Buddy looked like it'd picked up a half pound of grit. Frankenbike's fenders looked WONDERFUL. And the trunk would allow me to keep stuff dry without resorting to Rantwick-style camera covers.
Bikes will work almost forever if they're not crashed or abused, and are minimally taken care of. Many times, old ones work better than new ones. This is NOT something your typical LBS will emphasize. Frankenbike, at 40 years of age, is better suited to rainy transport than Buddy. Its fenders and trunk allow stuff to be kept dry, and the internal gear hub is pretty well immune to road grit. As it turns out, optimizing for local utility riding comes in handy for a longer haul when the weather's not its usual sunny self.
I'm not considering making Frankenbike a regular part of the commute – Frankenbike takes 10 extra minutes over the 20 miles to work compared to Buddy. That's only a few seconds loss for local rides, but it'd be over 1 ½ hours a week, on top of an already long commute. On the other hand, Buddy would slow down if I added all that stuff, and the commute might consume too much time to manage.
ON THE OTHER HAND, on an occasional rainy-day basis, or for possible laundry recovery chores, Frankenbike is better than Buddy. I'm not sure why, but I find that notion comforting. Maybe it's because I'm getting a little older myself.
PS: That trunk has three shirts, a pair of pants, a cycling jacket & all sorts of small stuff in it. I suspect that with the right bungee, I could use my clothes carrier which supposedly can carry 15 shirts/pants, but which can actually carry 20. Of course, loaded down this much, I fear Frankenbike would be prone to doing wheelies at the slightest provocation...

MLB notebook: Phillies' Hamels will rest after latest setback
Pirates/MLB Videos
Philadelphia pitcher Cole Hamels won't throw off a mound for at least another week after feeling fatigue from his latest throwing session.
The Phillies' Opening Day starter in 2013, Hamels entered spring training behind schedule following biceps tendinitis in November. Hamels said after Saturday's mound session, his third of spring training, he doesn't feel 100 percent.
"I believe I threw 35 pitches," the 30-year-old left-hander said. "To my body it felt like a thousand."
Hamels was scheduled to face hitters for the first time in a bullpen session Thursday, but that was canceled. Asked whether he believed he could join the Phillies' rotation in April, Hamels was noncommittal.
Hamilton tests injury
MLB.com reported Angels outfielder Josh Hamilton has begun to run on a treadmill, his first step in returning from a strained left hamstring. Hamilton injured his hamstring Feb. 27 during a baserunning drill. Hamilton said he'll need 45 to 55 spring training at-bats to get ready for the regular season.
Jeter ends drought
Derek Jeter got two hits that ended an 0-for-10 slide at the start of spring training in the Yankees' 4-3 win over the Phillies. Jeter, limited to 17 games last season after breaking an ankle during the 2012 playoffs, grounded out in the first inning, then singled to left in the third and doubled to center in the fifth.
Carpenter extension?
The Cardinals and third baseman Matt Carpenter are discussing a multi-year extension that would cement the leadoff hitter's place as part of the team's core. General manager John Mozeliak confirmed that he has had discussions with Carpenter's agent and that the potential exists for a multiyear contract. Carpenter, 28, led the NL last season with 199 hits, 126 runs scored and 55 doubles in his first full season as an everyday player.
D-Backs' Arroyo ailing
Diamondbacks pitcher Bronson Arroyo is expected to miss a week to 10 days because of a back injury. Arroyo was scratched from a scheduled start Tuesday and had an MRI, which revealed a slightly bulging disk. The 37-year-old right-hander, who agreed last month to a $23.5 million, two-year contract, has never has been on the disabled list.
Mets pitchers returning
Three big pieces of the Mets' pitching staff are closer to appearing in spring training games. Starters Jon Niese and Bartolo Colon and closer Bobby Parnell pitched batting practice with fielders Thursday. Niese (shoulder) and Colon (calf) have been slowed by minor injuries, and Parnell is coming back from surgery to repair a herniated disk in his neck.
Renowned surgeon dies
Dr. Frank Jobe, the Dodgers team physician who in 1974 performed the first elbow ligament transfer surgery on Tommy John — a procedure that bears the pitcher's name — died Thursday. He was 88. The Dodgers announced Jobe's death on their website.
More charges for duo
Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood, who pleaded guilty last month to the 2011 Dodger Stadium beating of Giants fan Bryan Stow, were indicted by a federal grand jury on a weapons charge, according to court documents.
Back after son's death
Red Sox pitcher Rich Hill reported to camp Thursday following the death of son Brooks, who was less than 2 months old when he died Feb. 24.

MIDDLEBURY — At the second annual production of the Town Hall Theater's "Shakespeare: It's Elementary" program 110 students will perform "King Lear." Performances are on Thursday, March 14, at 6 and 7:30 p.m.
Students from three fifth-grade classes at Mary Hogan Elementary and one class each at Leicester Central and Shoreham Elementary have worked for 10 weeks on all elements of text and performance, including reading comprehension, stage fighting and scene craft, among others.
LEICESTER — Forget about teaching writing for standardized tests.
These days at Leicester Central School, it's all about the craft of creating essays, fiction and poetry.
In classes from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade at Leicester, and in some classes at Brandon's Neshobe School, students are focusing on reading and writing in a different way: seeking out inspiration, getting into the flow of writing and, afterward, revising their efforts in workshops.

One of the biggest fears Joseph E. LeDoux had when he was growing up was of getting stuck in Eunice, La. His small hometown sits among creeks and rice fields, and its Cajun country roots give it a certain charm. It is hard to swing a possum without hitting a good gumbo restaurant. An old theater downtown hosts the weekly Rendezvous des Cajun radio show, a yipping version of Prairie Home Companion, only with dancing, and anyone can join the live studio audience for a mere $5.
But when LeDoux was coming of age in the 1960s, he found Eunice too sedate. He did some radio disc jockeying in high school, and the era's music, along with his own inquisitiveness, drew his attention to the wider world. His parents, however, told him they would pay for college only if he studied business and only if he did not venture farther than Baton Rouge, 80 miles east. His father, a butcher, envisioned his son as a leading local businessman. The main interest Joseph had in butchering was that it allowed him to do his first neural explorations: digging through cow brains to extract the bullets that had killed the cattle, so his father could sell the brains as a delicacy.

About 20 players will be released by NBA teams under the "amnesty clause" that is expected to be part of the new collective-bargaining agreement, which will end up costing teams an additional $500 million, according to estimates by ESPN.com.
The amnesty clause will allow teams to cut players without having their salaries count against the cap, but the players will still be due the money remaining on their contracts. The 20 players who ESPN projects will be cut are due a combined $500 million, and the belief is that owners will spend $500 million more to fill out their rosters.
The league claims to have lost $300 million last season.
And while owners and players haggle over the split of basketball-related income, the owners has agreed not to count amnesty deals toward to players' share (CORRECTION: ESPN now says this is not true and offers an explanation here).
The ESPN report uses Washington's Rashard Lewis as an example of a player who's likely to be cut loose under amnesty. Lewis is owed more than $43 million over the next two seasons. While cutting him would mean $43 million in cap space for the Wizards, the team would not only have to pay Lewis that money, it would have to spend even more—$5-10 million, ESPN guesses—to find another player to make up his production. While few would argue that Lewis is overpaid, he did average 11.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists for Washington last season.

Bono's sorrow for PopeU2 singer Bono has expressed his sorrow at the death of Pope John Paul II, describing him as a "street fighter and a wily campaigner on behalf of the world's poor".
The Irish rocker, who met the pontiff in 2000 to discuss the Jubilee campaign for African debt relief, admits he was deeply saddened by the passing of the head of the Catholic Church, on Saturday night (02.04.05), and insisted John Paul II played a crucial role in getting third world debt cancelled across the world.
Bono said: "We would never have gotten the debts of 23 countries completely cancelled without him."
Bono also revealed at an Anaheim concert on Saturday (02.04.05), he still keeps a rosary the pope gave him in his pocket when he performs.
During an emotional rendition of the band's new hit 'Miracle Drug', Bono draped the rosary on his microphone before kneeling on-stage and making the sign of the cross.
The pope died on Saturday night after a long battle against ill health. His death ended a 26-year papacy, the third longest in the church's 2,000 year history.

In search of dressed up sweatpants
Q. I am looking for a pair of really comfortable pants that don't look like run-of-the-mill sweats but that I can wear and feel as though I'm wearing run-of-the-mill sweats. I'm afraid of yoga pants because they accentuate every flaw and I have to stand by my belief that leggings should not be worn as pants (and yoga pants are, essentially, leggings with flared bottoms). Can you help me find something comfy that I could actually wear in an airport without feeling like a slob and that I don't need to wear special underwear with?
A. If you're really looking for an upgrade to run-of-the-mill sweatpants, you'll be thrilled about spring's new dressed up sweatpant trend. Though I'm not sure I would spend $175 on a pair of Alexander Wang sweats, there are more affordable options available from a variety of designers. Here's a selection of super cozy sweats to wear on the street, not at the gym:

There seems to be a real dilemma before us when it comes to revising or making new rules and regulations to deal with present situations with firearms possession and ownership.
New proposals include downsizing magazine capacities to increasing taxes for owning a firearm along with a more stringent process for qualifying for a permit to purchase one. I'm not sure reducing the size of the magazine or clip capacity of the weapon is relevant, and taxing gun owners might even be unconstitutional.
A misstatement as to a weapons design seems to be used too frequently. Since the incidents recently, the term "assault rifle" might be used a bit too often. Anything used to hurt or harm an individual or group of humans can be considered an assault weapon. Take for example a standard regulation baseball bat; in the hands of an out-of-control person,wouldn't it be an assault weapon?
Granted, a rifle or pistol with a large capacity magazine definitely can injure or kill more people, but isn't that the only difference in weapons classified as an assault weapon? Should American Airlines be blamed for all the carnage of 9/11? Was it the plane or the violent persons operating it?
Annually hundreds if not more people are killed by drunk drivers. Should Budweiser be punished or banned from making alcoholic beverages?
It seems the answer behind all of these tragic events is the failure to properly process the applicant, not penalize the manufacturers of the items.
It is the person, not the product that is the responsible for their own individual actions that have to be addressed.
A stricter program has to be instituted to prevent these terrible acts in the future.

nice update and great work on the handling both the longbow and the ranger.
Red Alert: A Path Beyond brings the exciting storyline and epic clashes from the classic Westwood Studios game, Command & Conquer: Red Alert to realm of first person shooters, with a twist. We've remained loyal to the style and feel of the 1996 classic, while integrating content from its expansions Counterstrike and The Aftermath with a bit of updated history to add to the mix. Built off the W3d engine Westwood Studios built for classics such as Earth & Beyond and Command & Conquer: Renegade finished up in 2001, we help bring the fight to you as you play out your role as any one of a number of infantry classes participating in team-based combat that often involves land, sea, and air combined-arms clashes that just don't happen in any other game. Oh, and did we mention it is FREE?
New unit guides explain (with video!) how to use the various vehicles and soldiers. Plus, we show a preview of the new Light Tank and Helipad as they are being textured. As a bonus, we've tossed in a couple videos showing adjustments to Ranger and Longbow handling for the upcoming patch.
Posted by Chronojam on May 3rd, 2011
We've got some treats for you. First, the Unit Summary section in your Launcher has been updated to feature all of the vehicles currently available in Gamma. Take a look, you'll probably learn a thing or two! Did you know the Technician no longer needs to face the MCT to repair it, or that the Hind has an alternate fire? You would if you glanced through the Unit Summary guide, which provides both high-level overviews of each unit plus a strategic analysis, and also is a handy place to review helpful unit how-to videos.
These videos are currently being worked on by Westy and Deadpikle; some are featured below. If you want a more convenient listing, don't forget that we have a YouTube channel you can browse, and we have now set up a unit guide playlist.
MightyBob has been texturing the Light Tank based on the new M24 Chaffee model from a while ago. He actually first had to modify the geometry a bit and unwrap it again, but the results are good so far although the wait's killing all of us. The new Light Tank is a smaller profile, making it harder to hit as it zooms up hillsides . It's shown here in a rough view of its urban/night camo scheme. Click any one for a larger view!
AntonioHandsome has been adjusting and texturing the Helipad that r34ch had made before we entered our mad dash to get Gamma out. I suspect that, to allow multiple helicopters to reload at once and to make things more interesting, we might have a couple smaller helipads instead of a single large one for people to fight over and/or try to share between a couple helicopters. The reason the ammunition boxes appear to be floating is simple; the Helipad is designed to sink into the terrain somewhat.
The helicopters' flight characteristics have also been entirely revised. The Longbow can now angle upwards to try engaging higher-flying Hinds, or it can attempt a steeper downward tilt to attack ground units, for example. Longbows and Hinds can both strafe left and right much faster, as well.
Now, below, you can have a look at the updated Ranger and Longbow handling. The Ranger is now very difficult to accidentally roll over or get it stuck, and the Longbow is not as twitchy as it used to be (and can angle its nose up to attack Hinds better).
nice update and great work on the handling both the longbow and the ranger.
Pretty nice update!
New light tank looks great!
The light tank looks cool! Finnaly got rid of that tiny gun ontop of the turret that never made any sense to me!
awsome, awsome update
Wreak != Wreck. Pronounced Reek.
Comparing the light tank's ground speed to fire rate is a non-sequitur.
The sniper rifle firing while the guy is talking doesn't help you hear what he's saying.
Everything else is just fine.

This novel in verse explores gender identity through the eyes of various folks on all parts of the spectrum. Brendan never felt like a super masculine guy, but he hasn't always wanted to be a girl, either. Angel, who Brendan meets at a center for GLBT teens, befriends Brendan and introduces him to terms like trans and genderqueer, while demonstrating that, while transgender teens can have tough lives, there are also possibilities for happiness. Vanessa is Brendan's girlfriend, and as Brendan explores his identity and becomes more distant, she wonders where she fits in to his life. Each of the characters has a distinct voice, and the poems sharply illustrate the struggles of each. A good resource section at the end for any reader who wants to learn more about transgender and gender identity issues.

Well, after much difficulty and trouble I've finally learned how to do this. My instructions are to follow...
Understand that my background is in aircraft manufacturer and my specialty was dealing with operations that were considered "inaccessible" due to various reasons but I'm quite used to working in cramped conditions and near-impossible access problems. With that said, this has to be one of the worst designs I've ever had to deal with. What I've learned in the process I've decided to share with you all but with the warning that if you aren't well-experienced in somewhat difficult mechanical jobs or don't have much patience (and time to do the work), then don't start. This is the sort of thing that is well worth paying a professional to do --but I will mention that our own town mechanic pretty much did all he could to avoid doing this job and tried telling me that he needed just to adjust the parking brake cable more to get the parking brake to start working again (the shoes were probably the original ones and almost all gone --and the original owner drove with the parking brake depressed a couple of times). I chose to do the work because I had already decided to get it done correctly since I had already pulled the rotors and figured I'd go ahead and do the shoes at the same time and finally get the parking brake working again. I've talked with a few mechanics (and read a few posts here) where they just decided to disconnect the parking brake rather than deal with this job. Others here on this forum mentioned that the first time doing this is by far the worst and gets much easier. This is all true so here goes:
1. DON'T DO THIS ALONE!! I went through a terrible time trying to perform this job by myself. It is clear that this job just doesn't work with only 2 hands. I had to fabricate special hold-down tools just to keep things in place several times but when my wife was around, just having her lend a small bit of help holding something in place made the job a much better experience.
2. BE PATIENT!! This job will take you a few hours for sure and requires a delicate touch at times (like playing the game "Operation").
3. Get the miscellaneous parts kit if you can. As you will see from the diagram, there is a part that is considered "non-reusable part" (although I re-used mine) but it would probably be a good idea to get all new springs, washers, and clips.
4. Put tape over the face of the new brake shoes before you get started. I like using wide, clear packing tape because the adhesive isn't too strong so it doesn't leave an residue on the brake material but you don't want your greasy fingers getting on them either!
5. Buy and use a bunch of brake cleaner cans. You're going to need them. First, I'd spray the snot out of the newly exposed brake shoes to clear out as much brake dust as you possibly can --mainly to eliminate breathing in any while you work. Also, the new rotors (which also serve as brake drums on the inside) are usually coated with a light film to preserve the metal and you're going to want to clean that from the braking surfaces before you install the new drums (if you're going to be replacing them at all).
6. TOOLS: I found that I really didn't need any special tools for this job. There are some tools out there used for pulling and replacing the springs but a flat-blade screwdriver worked just fine for me. You will need a few good needle-nose pliers tools to make life easier. I used 3 different ones (one long nose, one normal, and one with a curved end).
7. You will also need a couple of lug nuts that are open at both ends. The stock lug nuts on the Toyota Sequoia are not open ended on both sides so you'll need to find some around the garage or pick up some from the local parts store. You will need them when you re-attach the rotor for shoe adjustment before re-mounting the wheel.
1. Take pictures if you can. The two shoe return springs are different and it helps remember where everything goes (beyond using my exploded assembly diagram below).
2. Disassembly isn't too much of a problem but understand that there's two hold down springs (one on each shoe) that are removed by accessing the top of the spring cap by rotating the spindle until the adjuster access hole (identified on the diagram below) to be over the top of each hold down spring and inserting your needle-nose pliers to push down the top cap and rotate 90 degrees...
Above you can see the long needle-nose pliers about to push down the top hold down spring cap by pushing through the adjuster hole in the spindle. This is a good time to have someone helping you by applying pressure on the back of the hold down pin so that it doesn't move back at the same time the top cap is pushed down.
3. KEEP THE OLD SHOES. While rebuilding the parking brake assembly, you may need to refer to the old shoes to make sure you're still putting the parts back together the same way and the old shoes will have wear and rust in places where the connections used to be.
4. Don't bother disconnecting the brake cable from the parking brake shoe lever. It doesn't really help you to go that far.
1. Start by applying thermal grease to the 6 contact points shown in green in the diagram below. Also fully clean and grease any of the additional parts that are shown in the diagram below to need it.
2. Install the rear shoe first as it is going to require reconnecting the parking brake shoe lever. I like to apply a small amount of grease to the shaft on the shoe where the lever will mount. After attaching the parking brake shoe lever to the rear shoe, re-mount the shoe to the top of the assembly and install the return spring to hold it in place.
3. Install the anchor spring at the bottom of the shoe to the bracket on the frame as shown below:
4. Next is the WORST part of the entire reassembly process!! Insert the rear pin from the back and make sure that the dip in the pin is facing the front of the car and in front of the parking brake shoe lever. You'll want a friend to both hold the pin in place as well as the shoe in place while you re-insert the hold down caps and spring through the tiny space between the shoe and the spindle. This is where having patience, and a gentle touch comes in handy! Here's a shot of the rear pin in place with the bottom cap and hold down spring in place:
Insert the top cap on top of the hold down spring, make sure the spindle is rotated to have the access hole over top of the spring stack and push down on the cap just as you did removing this assembly before. If you get this far, pat yourself on the back and take a break to celebrate! It's all downhill from here.
5. Now that the rear shoe is being held in place by the spring assembly from hell, you can now place the strut at the top and the adjuster assembly at the bottom in their respective points on the rear shoe and slide the front shoe in place being careful to catch the strut and adjuster in the right places on the front shoe. Make sure to screw the adjuster all the way in to itself before installing it.
6. Have a friend hold the front shoe in place while you install the top return spring as shown below:
7. Now install the bottom tension spring in front of the adjuster assembly as shown below:
Above you can see the tension spring in front of the adjuster assembly and the anchor spring above it. You will also see that the anchor spring and tension spring affix to the rear shoe at the same connection point. Some OEM shoes have an extra hole to connect both spring in different points but I think people realized that they were so close together that it didn't really make sense so some shoe manufacturers no longer have that extra mounting hole for the anchor spring. It's a little confusing at first so I hope this pic and the diagram at the bottom helps...
8. Now insert the front hold down pin from behind and insert the hold down spring and cap assembly just like the rear one. This one will be much easier as the pin is straight and isn't working around a shoe lever either. Still, make sure you have a friend help you hold everything in place and keeps pressure on the back of the pin to hold it in place while you rotate the spindle around to the front shoe for access.
1. Remove the protective tape you originally placed over the brake shoes and mount the rotor on the spindle. Use two open-face lug nuts to bolt down the rotor without the wheel in place for this adjustment. I would recommend that you use some anti-seize compound on the spindle before mounting the rotor to prevent rust from making it difficult to pull the rotors in the future. I also like to put anti-seize compound on the lug bolts.
2. Make sure the rotor is mounted in such a way to line up the adjuster access hole on the spindle with one of the access holes on the rotor so that you can rotate the entire assembly until the adjuster access hole is at the bottom (6 o'clock) position. This should give you a tiny view onto the adjuster teeth from the outside.
3. Using a small screwdriver or similar tool, tighten the adjuster by turning the adjuster teeth away from you at the top in opposite direction from the loosening direction as shown below. Do this until the rotor no longer is able to turn freely due to the parking brake shoes pushing against the inside of the rotor. The factory service manual then recommends that you back off (loosen) the adjuster 8 clicks. Personally, I'd suggest only turning 6 clicks but either way should be fine.
1. Keep the temporary lug nuts in place while the rear caliper and pads are re-installed.
2. Once the rear wheels are back on the car and you're able to test the brakes, it has been recommended that you burn in the parking brake by driving with the parking brake depressed for about 1/4 mile. The important thing after re-assembly is that you notice the parking brake has much less travel than it did before the work was performed. I'd say I ran with the parking brake down for about 2 blocks and that seemed fine to me to remove any potential oil, finger prints, grease, etc on the braking surface.
This diagram is my own heavily modified version of the original factory service manual diagram that was worth about two dead flies. I hope it better explains how this assembly goes back together and where each part goes.
...So with all that said, if you have any questions or additional tips, please contribute to this forum and help the community learn from your experiences. Thanks everyone here on the TundraSolutions forum for all the help that got me here as well!!

An Ohio man has pleaded guilty to selling more than US$1 million worth of counterfeit financial and tax preparation software on eBay, the U.S. Department of Justice announced.
In a move that could help eBay improve its tools for online store developers, it has acquired Magento, the maker of an open source e-commerce platform.
A new liberal advocacy group has targeted Apple as a tax "cheater" for its leadership in a coalition calling for Congress to allow U.S. companies to return foreign earnings to the country at a greatly reduced tax rate.
EBay's PayPal will no longer be a payment option on a site run by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group, a sign that cooperation between the two companies may be cooling.
PayPal and parent eBay have filed a suit against Google and two former executives alleging that they have misappropriated their trade secrets in the area of mobile payments and point-of-sale strategies.
Researchers have figured out how to to crack captchas, making it possible to launch automated attacks against sites such as Microsoft, eBay and Digg where opening phony accounts could be turned into cash.
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission's proposed settlement with Google over its bungled launch of the Buzz social-networking service could have disastrous effects on the rest of the e-commerce industry, the head of a trade group said.
Today we all use our smartphones and our broadband-equipped home and work PCs to instantly access information and data on just about any topic via the Internet.
We take the Internet for granted now, but a lot of developments helped to make it the gargantuan shopping, socializing, commerce-helping, video-sharing behemoth it is today.
Apple's supply of the iPad 2 edged closer to demand today as the company's online store showed a two-to-three week shipping delay.
Resellers are making hundreds by listing Apple's iPad 2 on eBay, where the selling prices have averaged as high as 53 per cent above retail, the auction giant said today.
After becoming something of a second-class player in the online world, eBay Inc. is looking to get back into the game.
EBay has agreed to acquire for about $US2.4 billion GSI Commerce, whose suite of e-commerce and digital marketing tools and services are expected to boost eBay's online marketplace and PayPal e-payment businesses.
A bill that would direct the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to create a mechanism to allow consumers to opt out of online tracking efforts tops a list of proposals that would be bad for the Internet, according to e-commerce trade group NetChoice.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Even Toyota gets the blues, part III
Posted by: David Welch on October 1, 2008
What a strange month September was. The Yankees didn't make the playoffs. The Tampa Bay Rays did. And Toyota's sales fell 32%. Sure, it's tough all over, but Toyota did all right in August with just a 9% drop in a market that was down almost 16%. But September saw the company actually lose market share as its stake in the U.S. fell to 15% from 16.2%.
The falloff wasn't just in trucks and suvs, either. Even Toyota's fuel sippers were glued to the lot. Camry hybrid sales fell 34%, Corolla sales dropped 28%, the Scion xB and Tc were down 37% and 53%, respectively. The Prius did OK, relatively speaking, with a 10% sales drop in a market that sank 26%. What's it all mean, Basel? No credit and no consumer confidence means almost no one is buying.

Speed Should be on Display in Washington
Posted By Sports On September 6, 2013 @ 6:00 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
A speedy Washington football team welcomes an equally quick Pella High squad into Demon Stadium tonight. Both schools proved they could run the ball last week in their victories, and on the Demons' side, Coach Jay McKinstrey has noticed that their offensive line has been their key to their early success. Washington gained nearly 350 yards on the ground against Mid-Prairie last Friday and only threw for ten, but McKinstrey noted that their quarterback, Daryn Seibelius just missed on a few passes and could be a threat through the air. You can hear tonight's game between Pella and Washington streamed live at KNIAKRLS.com with Cory Houser and Randy Sikkema on the call. Pregame coverage starts at seven with kickoff a half hour later. There will also be a delayed broadcast on 92.1 KRLS immediately following the KNIA/KRLS Football Friday Night Radio Scoreboard Show.

Old Bering Sea peoples; Alaska
Ivory (walrus); W. 5 3/4 in. (14.6 cm)
Purchase, The Houghton Foundation, Inc. Gift, 1975 (1975.311)
For many hundreds of years, the harpoon was essential to the lifeways of the peoples living on either side of the Bering Sea between Siberia and Alaska. As the basis for the hunting of sea mammals, the harpoon went through a long period of development, and the advent of the toggling harpoon in about 1500 B.C. was particularly significant. Elements of these harpoonshead, foreshaft, socket piece, and counterweightwere made of walrus ivory, and over time their surfaces were elaborated with delicately incised images. Animal spiritsused to attract game to the hunterand spirit helpers that added strength to the weapon itself were among the depictions. By the first half of the first millennium A.D., the incised patterns had become both elegant and complex and often included "hidden" or difficult to read images. By the end of that millennium, the harpoon counterweights, also known as winged objects because of their shape, were no longer made in Alaska.
