text: Gr 2-4--Brief chapters give readers broad summaries of these holidays-their origin or meaning, how they are celebrated, traditions today, and "important words." Color photographs with descriptive captions give further explanations, while the texts are presented in simple sentences in a large font. Easter gives background information and explains the celebration through secular and sacred symbols and traditions: lilies, bunnies, Fabergť eggs, and PEEPS, among others. Juneteenth provides the most complete information, introducing the Civil War, slavery, and typical activities and food to honor the day. Saint Patrick's Day offers a glance at Irish culture, symbols, and the history of the holiday and how it changed over time, but readers will need to search suggested web links about St. Patrick to find out more about the man and why he is revered. Each book contains a websites area that directs readers to links on the publisher's site but not all of them are designed for younger children.

Carmike Cinemas' Chief Financial Officer Richard B. Hare stated, "On the expense side, the majority of our key costs were generally in-line with our expectations during the quarter, leading to solidly profitable bottom-line results, after accounting for a one-time $5.0 million non-cash loss on debt extinguishment, in conjunction with our term debt pay-down and notes offering in April. Film exhibition costs increased 70 basis points compared to the year-earlier quarter due primarily to the concentration of blockbuster feature films in 2012. Other theatre operating costs were $52.7 million, an increase of 6.6% over the same period last year. A combination of higher salaries and wages expense, occupancy costs and repairs and maintenance accounted for the modest increase. General and administrative expenses rose to $5.2 million from $4.5 million, primarily due to higher salaries and wages, professional fees. Q2 interest expense was unchanged at $8.6 million. Our income tax expense for the quarter was 44.8%, or $0.9 million."Carmike ended Q2 with $239.6 million in net debt, a 20.6% reduction from our 2011 year-end level. We finished the recent quarter with a cash balance of $85.8 million and we are looking to deploy a significant portion of that balance for future growth as we believe that the Company's present level of infrastructure can support a larger theatrical circuit," Mr. Hare concluded.

Oklahoma inmate's execution stay request denied
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected an Oklahoma death row inmate's request for a stay of execution.
The request by Michael Hooper was turned down in a two-sentence ruling issued Tuesday by Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
The ruling clears the way for Oklahoma to put the 39-year-old Hooper to death at 6 p.m. Tuesday for the December 1993 shooting deaths of his former girlfriend and her two young children.
Defense attorney Jim Drummond said he's "obviously disappointed" with the ruling and that there are no more appeals available.
Hooper was convicted and sentenced to death for the killings of 23-year-old Cynthia Lynn Jarman, and her two children, 5-year-old Tonya and 3-year-old Timmy.
He would become the fourth inmate put to death in Oklahoma this year.

Today's Nightlife Photo: Progress at Liam Flynn's Ale House
Liam Flynn, who used to run the Pint-Size Pub, adding a medallion logo to his new, self-titled place on Station North, which I wrote about back in October. Like several other local bar owners, Flynn is using architectural salvage to renovate and decorate the old building. Under wraps since at least last Spring, it looks like Flynn's Ale House is finally coming together.

Fans of "Catfish" tend to lend their sympathy to the person within the episode who's been duped — the fool in love, if you will — but on last night's episode, Dorion neglected to gain our compassion after putting his real girlfriend through the ringer while he pursued an online fantasy. Raffinee seemed like the true victim in the story, but there was also the woman whose identity was stolen by Alexis in order to start the whole charade!
When Nev and Max did their routine reverse-Google image search, the two were blown away by how many times Jessie Morrison had been imitated, noting that she was "one of MySpace's most faked girls." The sheer amount of search results prompted the investigative duo to deem her a "Catfish feeding ground," and we couldn't help but wonder how someone attracts so many copy-cats…so we called her up!
Twenty-two-year-old Jessica (nope, there's no "z"!), an aspiring model and actress, generously took some time out to chat with Remote Control about how her life has been impacted by the many fake Internet profiles. While flattering, she says it's a large nuisance and has even threatened her safety. Check out the interview, and take note: Jessie's only real online accounts are her Twitter handle, @JessieMorrison, and her Instagram, also @JessieMorrison. Anything else is a "Catfish"!
Had you ever heard of "Catfish: The TV Show" before all of this?
I've heard of "Catfish" the movie, but I never knew they had a show.
How did you first come across the fact that people were using your photos to make fake profiles?
When I was younger, a long time ago, a friend of mine made my first MySpace for me. I think she got the name Jeszica with a "z," and she put my name as "z" in the URL, so I was like, "Uh, do you not know how to spell Jessica?" I basically stuck with that name instead of making a new one because I was lazy. I was young and my parents, of course, were like "no computer," so she would put my photos up for me. One day — I think I was, like, 13 or 14, I had seen someone taking my photos, and I was like, "Oh…ooookay, this is really weird…" and ever since, I've had fakes all around. Fakes who say they live in Australia, fakes who say they live in f**king Thailand and all these places, and I'm like "Wait, what? I don't live there!" It got really crazy. I even had one who said they lived in Russia, and I was like, "I don't even look Russian! How could I be from there?"
How did you feel when you found out?
I didn't like it when I was younger. Someone hacked a PhotoBucket of mine with personal photos, and they leaked it all out, which sucked. I wish one day I can find whoever did that. You know, when you're younger and you think, "Oh, I can be grown and cute in lingerie," and those were the photos that leaked. It got bad, and I was off the Internet for a while. When I came back on, it was like triple the amount of fakes! After a while I kinda got used to it. People would write me with, "This person faked you!" And I'd be like, "Thanks for telling me, but there are a million others!" There are also people who don't even use my real name. It's never going to change. I even tried to hit up Twitter to verify my account, but that never happened. I have a s**t ton of fakes and I needed them to verify that I was the real me!
How did you deal with it?
I tried to get them deleted…but it never really worked. Even a YouTube page took old videos of me and edited them, and put different music in the background to try to pass off as me. So, I tried getting that YouTube page down. I tried calling Google and they had me on hold for a few hours, and then I just gave up.
Do you know how many fakes exist?
I know for a fact that it's over a hundred, to be honest. It's definitely over a hundred. When I was younger, my friends and I Facebooked my name and MySpaced it, and apparently, like, 50 came up on MySpace. And sometimes I see my photos and it's not my name. So, I don't even know the exact amount, which is the really sucky part. And I've found them on bisexual and lesbian websites too — and I want to be like, "Unless you are Angelina Jolie or Megan Fox, it's not happening!"
Do you have any idea why your photos have become so popular?
I've always wondered, and I never understood why. It's always freaked me out. It's like, why did they choose to use my face and fake everything? This is a funny story though: One of my fakes, I found out that she was talking to some guy's brother. He wrote to me and was like, "You know, my brother thinks he's talking to you, but I don't know if it's really you." And then he told me his brother was paying her car payments, her rent, her phone bill and I was like, "Oh no! No, no, no, you cannot make money off my face. This is not OK!"
How has this impacted your life?
It was OK at first, but then it got really bad. I remember one time in either middle or high school, a girl actually came to my school to try to fight me, because she thought I was talking to her boyfriend. And I was like, "Wait, what? I don't even know who that person is." She was convinced that it was me talking to him. And I was like, "No, sweetie, sorry, it's not me." They had security come to escort her out. I never found out what happened to her, but she tried to kill me because someone else was talking to her boyfriend using my pictures. Almost 10 years I've had people stealing my photos. And it sucks. And this has been happening way before I even decided to try modeling. I just don't want people to fake being me anymore. I don't want people to make money off of me anymore.
Have you ever had any interaction with Alexis or anyone else who has used your photos?
I've never talked to anyone named Alexis, but I remember one girl wrote me and said she was sorry for using my photos and that she'd stop doing it. And I'm like, "Thank you! That's very brave of you." She never showed her real face, though. But then I found out that she made even more fakes. Like Twitter and Instagrams, and I was like, "Seriously? You JUST said that you'd stop pretending to be me and now you're doing it again?"
Do you think being on "Catfish" is going to help stop people using your likeness in fake profiles?
I am glad I actually said I'd give them the permission to use my pictures, because I have way too many fakes. It gets so annoying, and doing all the stuff I do, it sucks that people make me look like something I'm definitely not. If you're going to portray me, do it right, you know? Don't make me out to be something that I'm not.
Do you have any messages for Dorion, Alexis or Raffinee?
I definitely want to say I'm sorry that happened to you, Dorion, but make sure that before you start falling for a girl over the Internet, make SURE you video-chatted with her, and make sure you've actually met her. I saw the sneak peek and just found it all really weird. And he's such a nice guy, which only makes it worse! He doesn't deserve that. But…if you have a girlfriend, you shouldn't be with another girl. If I was Raffinee, I would have killed him! I would have been like, "Oh you're worried about another girl? It's over, bye!"
I have something to say, for sure, to Alexis. I hope she learned her lesson and stopped pretending to be someone else, because she's hurting people. She's hurting someone while she tries to pretend to be someone else. Just be yourself! There's nothing more beautiful than being yourself. Don't try to be someone else.

Waiting for the Siren
July 11, 2014 | by Rebecca Sacks
A letter from Jerusalem.
The rockets are back. It wasn't two years ago they were falling over Israel. Things progress, they regress, they explode, and then you find yourself where you first began. With the rockets come all the accompanying nightmares about the endlessness of this war. We mutter darkly about escalation, look at pictures of the brutal deaths in Gaza. This is what comes when the rockets fall again. But the truth is, I missed them.
In Jerusalem or Tel Aviv, when the rocket siren goes off—a rising and falling pitch, kind of thin, actually—you have a recommended ninety seconds to find shelter. I use a method I've written about before to keep track of time: I sing Ghostface Killah's "Run" to myself, as I run around the apartment looking for my boots. You're supposed to go to a shelter or a safe room, if your building has one. If it doesn't, as mine does not, you go to the stairwell, because it's a reinforced area without much glass. Then you wait, nodding politely to four or so of your neighbors, whose names you still don't know; smiling sympathetically at their children, who are posting fallout selfies.
The siren stops and you hear the booms of the rockets being detonated midflight by the Israeli defense system—the Iron Dome, love of my life—or hitting open areas that the anonymous geniuses manning the Iron Dome have determined to be okay to hit. They say to wait ten minutes, but nobody does. A few minutes after the booms, you all go back to your apartments, or step outside to catch a glimpse of the wispy, white puffs—all that remains of the rockets. Read More »

I have no idea how this happened, but apparently I've agreed to give a talk to the entire pre-K and first grade at a local school. A total of seven classes.
While I do, in fact, also illustrate children books, it's really due to my interest in books and less to my interest in children. It's not that I don't like children—I'm quite fond of mine—but speaking to children is a bit scary. They don't know they're supposed to hide it if they're bored.
I show the kids books I've illustrated, share my work methods, and even throw in a professional secret: I can't draw horses' feet. During the Q&A, a curly-haired girl persistently raises her hand and when I call on her she says, "My mother looks much younger than you." But all in all, I realize that between these kids and my students at the art academy there is no big difference in understanding. Read More »
Letter from Tel Aviv: Love and Rockets
November 21, 2012 | by Rebecca Sacks
It's prime rocket-time in Tel Aviv and I have to pee. This is a totally legitimate concern, but one which I am still not able to bring up to my Israeli friends: bathroom timing. The last place you want to be during a rocket is the bathroom, I hear. The tiles and glass make it really, really dangerous. We only get one, maybe two sirens a day in Tel Aviv. So the chances are pretty slim. But can you imagine how embarrassing it would be to explain that to someone? "These scars I earned during the bombing of 2012, while I was on the can."
The first time I heard a bomb siren all I could think was "The VengaBus is Coming." I was in a café in the north of Tel Aviv, trying to read a menu upside-down. (I'm learning Hebrew.) There had been news of escalated bombings in the south, but that was all very far from Tel Aviv. Well, nothing is particularly far geographically in Israel, but Tel Aviv is a world away. The city has a way of blocking out the din of conflicts within Israeli society, as well as pressures from the antagonistic forces surrounding its borders. The pathological determination of the Tel Avivi not to let anything fuck with their shit is hard to underestimate. It's a bit like the way girls look straight ahead when they don't want to acknowledge some creepy guy doing the "psst, psst" holler from a moving car. Read More »
Etgar Keret, Tel Aviv, Israel

A series on what writers from around the world see from their windows.
The nicest place I ever got to write in was in MacDowell. My studio there was surrounded by a beautiful snowy forest, and looking out of the windows I could often see deer. During my residency there a friend came to visit. After having a beer together he said, "There is so much beauty around you, yet I can see from the angle at which your computer is placed that when you write all you can see is the toilet. Why is that?"
The answer was simple. When I write, what I see around me is the landscape of my story. I only get to enjoy the real one when I'm done. In the Keret family tradition my writing space is always one of the least desirable spots in our apartment, a place which only a person who is busy writing can bear. Currently it is a small metal table placed between the living room and the kitchen. The moment I stop writing I can notice on the other side of the road a beautiful grand tree allegedly planted sixty years ago by one of Israel's finest children poets as well as the happy mess my son and I left on the balcony the day before, but this is just for a moment, most of the time I just see my stories which are usually much messier than the balcony floor. —Etgar Keret

Just three weeks before President Obama's scheduled commencement speech, four students from Morehouse College have been arrested and charged in connection with two separate sexual assaults.
According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, three student athletes have been charged for the alleged rape of an 18-year-old Spelman College student. Basketball players Chukwudi Ndudikwa and Malcolm Frank currently face rape and aggravated sodomy charges, and Tevin Mgbo is looking at aggravated sodomy, kidnapping and reckless conduct charges.
Recent updates in the case reveal that the alleged assault happened at on-campus party at the Otis Moss Suites residence hall on March 8. According to court documents, the victim claimed she was celebrating spring break at a club , then campus party. She admitted to underage drinking but said she did not willingly use drugs of any kind that night.
However, the lawyers of the accused men "tell a story of a drug- and alcohol-fueled evening in which a young woman had consenting sex."
A witness told police that she saw the young woman consuming a white powdery drug, possibly the illicit party drug "Molly."
Here's how a few witnesses described the incident:
Several witnesses say the victim did have sex with several men in several rooms, and one witness says the victim used a drug.

text: Is it a Cold Sore or a Fever Blister? By Nicholas Dragon January 12, 2016 Imagine this: You and your mother are having a heated discussion about whether the sudden appearance of a sore on your lip is a fever blister or a cold sore. You know you can win this battle, and you respond with an I'll-show-you retort: "Let's ask Mr. Google," you say. Both of you whip out your smart phones, and ...a family crisis is averted. It turns out you're both right, according to John Hopkins Medicine. Case in point, this annoying sore is known by both names, and is caused by the virus "herpes simplex," or oral herpes (HSV-1).

Guitarist on a budget craves P90's. Help, please.
Alright, so I'm having a bit of a dilemma. I have somehow traded/sold all of my guitars with P-90's, and am craving some of that tone again. I've come up with a few possible options and would love to hear advice from anyone on what seems to be the most logical choice.
Option 1:
I have a PRS SE Custom semi-hollow that I think would sound pretty fantastic with P-90's. I had a semi-hollow Telecaster with P-90's that was biting in the bridge, and quite warm in the neck, and I loved it. I was able to up-trade that guitar, so I took the opportunity to do so, and might now be ready to do some fun stuff with the PRS, since I plan on keeping it. The Humbuckers sound decent, but I think the P-90's might give it a different tone (and PRS did put out the SE semi-hollows with P-90's for a while, so there must be something to that).
Option 2:
I have a MIJ Fender Jaguar Special HH that I might be willing to part with. I got it for a great price and could probably turn it around for a profit - the thing is, I kind of dig it. I bought it as a backup guitar, but I find myself fiddling around with it more and more every day. The rhythm selector is a bit muddy, but I can deal with it. If I did sell it, I'd probably look to acquire a Gibson Les Paul DC Special. I found one at my local GC, used, for $650 (and it's a worn TV Yellow, which I think is awesome). The pickup selector on the Les Paul had some nasty crackling between the middle and neck position, but that's an easy enough fix should I decide to get it. The other guitar I was looking at was a Fender Jazzmaster, probably a MIM.
Option 3:
I keep hearing good things about the VM Squier Jazzmasters (or the J. Mascis version, which also looks pretty awesome). I would have to wait until they pop up in the used market (and would probably go for the Olympic White color or Sonic Blue if possible), but I have yet to play one, as none of the local shops carry them.
I'm playing through a Bugera V55 and tend to play more post-rock, indie, and shoegaze. I'm really only looking to spend around $250 if I'm not selling the Jaguar, and more like $700 if I do. I've already got the pickups picked out for the SE if I go that route, but I've never wired in P-90's in place of Humbuckers, so I'd have to get some schematics on that (easy enough to find on Google I'm sure). I guess this isn't really a "what guitar" thread, but in case anyone asks, I live in Dallas, TX, and have perused my local CL and the used inventories of the local shops.
Thanks in advance!
Howdy, neighbor! (I'm in Coppell.)
Personally, I'd leave the PRS alone and put a HB-sized P-90 in the neck of the Jaguar!
I'm doing that with a Dean EVO I've owned for a few years that had been supplanted by better guitars.* I was inspired to do so by the Reverend Double Agent, the Blacktop Fender Jazzmaster, and certain pricey offerings from Nik Huber and Duesenberg guitars.
That way, you spend the least amount of money AND you get to keep a guitar you really like AND you get to access the P-90 sound again.
Bareknuckle isn't the only option, either. Lollar and other makers have HB-sized P-90s. And Seymour Duncan has the P-Rails, which can act like a HB, P-90, and a single coil.
* technically, I'm swapping both stock HBs- the bridge with a Bareknuckle Rebel Yell HB, the neck with a Bareknuckle Stockholm P-90.
Hey, neighbor! That may not be a bad idea, do you think that might clean up the rhythm channel on the Jag as well? I suppose it couldn't hurt, I think the Lollar is what I would go with, the Bareknuckle could be fun as well!
Come to think of it, I really don't care for the bridge pickup on the Jag either. Would it be simple enough just to drop two P-90's in there? I would consider a better humbucker for the bridge as well, as two P-90's will possibly thin out the sound even more.
1. I'm guessing you'd be looking at humbucker sized p90s for this? I only have experience with the GFS mean 90, which is a pretty decent pickup, but I found it just doesnt have the bark of real P90s. Other companies might make better emulations of P90s, but I can't comment on them.
2. A friend of mine has a Gibson Les Paul DC Special and it's a beast. Really nice to play. I would go with this option personally.
3. Jazzmaster pickups are not P90s, but some companies do make Jazzmaster-sized P90s.
Wiring a p90 in place of a humbucker is easy, no worries there at all.
The Lollar & BK HB-sized P-90s around anything but thin, IMHO, and since they ARE HB-sized, I can't see there being a problem doing a simple swap.
(I could be wrong, of course.)
The Lollar & BK were my front runners of all the HB-sized P-90s I found. I settled on BK's Stockholm because it was the the most aggressive option of all the Lollar & BK options. BK's Missisippi Queen and the Lollar were its opposite- extremely clear and sweet in the clean position, but not as aggressive as the Stockholm when distorted.
I also found the Tesla OPUS-2 to be a pretty good option.
Thanks for the advice, guys! I think the idea so far is to mod the Jag, or get rid of it for the Les Paul. No takers on the PRS, eh? I really don't like the Jag's pickups at all right now, so it'll likely go under the knife. Danny, do you have any experience with GFS pickups?
Bacon - I will be looking a HB sized 90's, and like the idea of the GFS, especially for the price. Do you know anything about their humbuckers, should I do a HB/90 setup?
I just know that if Guitar Center is selling that Les Paul for $650, it probably has more wrong with it than I initially saw.
I don't know jack about GFS pickups- sorry.
The reason I wouldn't go tweaking the PRS is that, to my mind- and I could be very wrong indeed- it would probably suffer from the swap out.
No worries, I like the BK or Lollar idea, I just wasn't sure how GFS were received.
Do you think it might thin the tone, being semi-hollow? I had considered this as well, and really, the humbuckers in the PRS are much nicer sounding than the Jag. Go figure.
The Jag is a great guitar, I'm just disappointed in how lifeless these pickups are.
I can't really answer that- I have a semihollow myself, but its equipped with 2 coil splitting Golden Age HBs. I will say that its tone while splitting is pretty satisfying, though.
I havn't tried any of their humbuckers but they seem to be generally well received. Like I said, the mean 90 is nice, but it doesn't quite sound like a p90 (in the neck position at least), so it may not be what you're looking for. A bridge humbucker with a neck P90 is a fairly common combination and is more versatile IMO.
Not necessarily, I think my friend got his for about that price and it's great. You won't know for sure until you try it out though.
I figure as long as they're ballpark in tone I could be happy with it. I just want to get the mud out of that neck pickup and put something aggressive, and passive, into the bridge.
I did play the Les Paul, and liked it, but with the amount of wear on it I couldn't see paying over $500 for it.
I also have another semi-hollow with cool split, and I like the tone on that, so maybe it would be redundant to throw p-90's into the PRS. That said, I have yet another semi-hollow with humbuckers and no coil split, so maybe redundancy is just my thing.
What is the other semihollow?
Maybe you could get some Railhammers for it. Or go retro with some TV Jones pickups?
The coil split semi-hollow is the Epiphone 339, and the non-split is an Ibanez AM 93. The Epi has the pro-buckers in it, so they're hot and a little tinny when split. Beautiful cleans on the split, but too thin for much overdrive.
I looked at Dream 180's for it to keep the split action, but I'm waiting to get the Jag sorted, as I have a home-built Les Paul in need of pickup swap, though I bought those already.
Not saying you should do this, but semihollows like that could utterly kill with some TV Jones pickups! This page will show you which would fit: http://tvjones.com/pickups/find/find-your-fit/
...I have heard good things about those :) so much to do! Shoot, that puts me at four guitars needing upgrades.
Oh, I also saw an Eastwood P90 Special for around $200. Worth it?
I get kind of antsy when I see used guitars priced significantly under $400. I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger unless I see something that discounted in person.

When it comes to pizzerias catering to customers with food allergies or diet restrictions, gluten-free crust is so 2009 – or rather, that goes for what's usually employed to make it. Celiac Disease concerns are in fact growing, but those afflicted want more from their food.
More than multigrain
The Naked Pizza team out of New Orleans recently rebranded their former "multigrain" crust as "ancestral" to get away from the ubiquitous former label, which owner Jeff Leach believes has less meaning in the marketplace. For anyone can mark their crust that way while incorporating little more than nutrient-stripped wheat flour, rather than whole grains in the mix. "It's not like the term is regulated," Leach said.
Naked's new crust contains a blend of more than 10 seeds and grains. Leach said an ingredient might be added or subtracted based on its availability. Buckwheat was recently added to the lineup, and bean flour replaced soy because the latter is a potential allergy risk. Leach said the blend of ingredients offers a rich variety of carbohydrates, proteins and other nutrients that no one single one could offer.
The company's rebranding reveals another trend of these ingredients' use. Recognizing that people want more healthful components to make up their cuisine, operators are showcasing those items first. RedBrick Pizza exemplified this principle in January when it promoted a new acai berry-enriched multigrain artisan pizza crust as the "world's first." Acai has surged in popularity lately for its unusually high antioxidant content.
A grander gluten-free
Not all people can eat multigrain crust, however. The gluten-free movement, popularized by books like Elizabeth Hasselbeck's "The G Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide," has made more people look at a possible allergy to this ubiquitous wheat protein.
"Gluten sensitivity is a growing concern," said Peter Reinhart, author of "The Bread Baker's Apprentice" and owner of Charlotte's Pie Town pizzeria. Reinhart also helped the Amy's Kitchen retail brand develop its gluten-free pizza crust.
But according to the master baker, there are plenty more nutritious alternatives to the standard rice flour for the afflicted, including several plant, nut and bean flours. For example, buckwheat, flagged by the National Restaurant Association's 2010 forecast as one of the hottest starches of the year, can be made into a flour that is high in fiber and B vitamins. It is also said to be good for high blood pressure and being researched for regulating the blood sugar levels of diabetics. Quinoa is NRA hot ingredient; flour from this grain-like crop provides a complete set of essential amino acids and high protein levels.
When it comes to new flour types, chefs curious enough to get their hands dirty are finding more options to suit most customers' demanding dietary needs.

I also suffered my first minor injury when I was preparing to end the session for the day... getting a mild rope burn on my wrist from the kite flipping on me unexpectedly when I was attempting to detach the lines from the bridle... Ouch!
I have a suggestion for setting up that will help you avoid the kite taking off unexpectedly.
Instead of installing the vertical spars and then attaching (or detaching) the lines as shown in the video tutorials, I always install the lines before putting in the spars, and take them out before detaching the lines. This way the kite cannot get any power to even try to get away from you and makes attaching the lines easier because you don't have to lift and hold up the sail against the wind.
Try it next time you are out. In my opinion it's an easier and safer way to set up.

Trees. Trees. Trees.
The issue kept coming up Monday during a day-long hearing that is examining the response by the electric companies that frustrated thousands of Connecticut residents - including some who were without power for more than a week.
Some officials said as many as 90 percent of the outages were caused by falling trees.
Some critics have focused in sharply on the decision by Connecticut Light & Power Company to cut the number of line crews over the years - at a time when the number of customers was growing. As such, they have complained that the company was better prepared for Hurricane Gloria - 26 years ago - than it was this year for Irene.
With a lower amount of linemen, the company was required to call in crews from other states at the prevailing rates. Today, CL&P employs 422 workers in the category of "line mechanics and trouble-shooters,'' compared to 385 in 2001.
The opening speaker of the day-long proceedings was CL& P president and chief operating officer Jeff Butler, who has been the public face of the company throughout the storm and who strongly defended its performance Monday.
No storm in the company's history, he said, had caused more damage. He defended CL&P's response was "appropriate, effective, strong'' in the immediate aftermath of the storm, adding that 2 million customers throughout New England lost power.
One of the problems is that Connecticut has the second highest number of trees, on a percentage basis, in the United States.
All 149 of the towns covered by CL&P were impacted. Across the eastern seaboard, the storm could cost $12 billion.
At the peak, nearly 700,000 customers were out of power simultaneously. But with in-and-out outages, the overall number of customers who were restored was more than 1 million. More than 100 miles of wire was replaced, and more than 1,500 roads were blocked across the state.
During Gloria, 506,000 customers were impacted, and it took 10 days to get them all back to power. The recent storm was also worse than Hurricane Bob.
The company, he said, actually started planning for Irene six days ahead of time.
Every employee at CL&P, Butler said, "did an outstanding job.''
In the early part of the hearing, both Democratic and Republican legislators were largely deferential to Butler and did not blast either CL&P or UI officials who were testifying.
From Greenwich to eastern Connecticut, legislators and customers had initially complained loudly about CL&P's response. Four days after the storm, power had not been restored in central Greenwich areas near Route 1 like Northfield Street, as opposed to the more rural "backcountry'' neighborhoods north of the Merritt Parkway that are far more difficult to restore because there might be only three homes, for example, in a 50-acre area.
Regarding the future, Butler says it is not only "the trees and the trim zone'' because some of the problems came from the "hazard trees'' that might be 70 feet tall and are not immediately hanging over the wires. The tree-trimming cycles have basically not changed in the past decade, according to the company. The company spends about $21.5 million per year in the normal maintenance program to trim trees at a cost of about $5,800 per mi
"People are very covetous of their trees, and I am of mine,'' said Sen. Joan Hartley, a Waterbury Democrat. "Aging trees need to be tended to. ... It's something that you push off and don't want to deal with.''
Sen. John Fonfara, the longtime co-chairman of the legislature's powerful energy committee, said that legislators are seeking results from the hearing.
"This is not a showpiece,'' Fonfara said, telling Butler later that "the company and your workers did great work.''
For the first time, the joint committees that held the hearing Monday accepted testimony from citizens via Facebook and Twitter - two Internet services that were not available years ago. The hearing began shortly after 9:30 a.m. and lasted past 5 p.m. with no lunch break.

Constant sibling squabbling—and the ensuing demand that you pick a side, quick—can wear parents down and totally drain the fun right out of family life.
A mother's battle to expose a child abuserWhen Sasha discovers her two-and-a-half-year old son is being physically abused by his childminder, she assumes the child protection authorities will spring into action and have this woman brought to justice or at least bar her from working with children.

System and Component Type Approval
Approval of a complete vehicle is dependent on each of the various systems and individual components specified within the Framework Directive being approved to the appropriate EC or ECE standard. There are certain items that will need to be approved as both an individual component or a Separate Technical Unit (STU), as well as being approved as part of an overall system, in order to meet the requirements of the Directive.
In addition to the requirements for Whole Vehicle, a number of standards also apply to after market products as well as Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts. Examples of these include Tyres, Glass, Exhaust systems and replacement brake linings to name a few. The following linked PDF files explain this in more detail:

I'm very much in two minds about Castle Mane-ia. It is a homage to the sillier cartoons of the past (like Scooby Doo) and it fills this role fairly well with a mostly consistent plot and colourful characters. But I've never been that much of a fan of silly, schlocky Scooby Doo-esque stories.
The characters.
I found the characters to be very colourful this episode. Their dialogue and acting was over the top and a little simplistic. Within the schlocky standards of the episode, they were pretty well written, bouncing off one another in funny and interesting ways.
I liken the main 5 to having the mental ages of five this episode, loveable but also simple. AJ & RD seem to be taking a more brash Scooby & Shaggy routine, their quests for testing each other tempered by them both being scaredy cats. Rarity likes pretty tapestries but gets quickly and easily frustrated (culminating with when she yells at the castle and runs around in hysterics under pieces of tapestry). Fluttershy is oddly stoic for such a scary place, but has a 'very' strong motherly angle to her. And Pinkie Pie is a simple minded, party obsessed, gag machine. Whilst Twilight is the mature parent who swoops in near the end and sets all the children straight.
On a whole, I am stuck between their characters being flanderized and that flanderization being done fairly well. They are more simple than the past (grr), but they were fairly funny and fitting for the story (yay). I did find myself groaning a fair few times because this episode does have some crude humour (such as RD bashing into AJ or AJ jumping on top of the pillar FS thinks Angel is under). But in general it didn't stoop to that level it's humour was more silly and character based.
The story.
I feel in two minds about this again. The story is very silly (woo! yay! fun!), but that silliness is also a fault (contrived, no logic, dissonant (boo)). I did like how the story balanced three groups all at once and all of them had enough time in the story to put all of the M4 through their arcs. It did a very good job with wrapping up too. All the groups/prices merged together very well and they got a resolution.
I wouldn't say the plot was perfectly done. The spiders plot was raised twice and seems to have been forgotten and for the majority of the episode Twilight doesn't do anything but read. I also found the conclusion of it being PP a great anti climax, unlike Scooby Doo it was obviously going to be her and her justification for being there felt bleh. I also felt a little betrayed for noticing that the organ player had a blue coat, my observance for little details was used to fool me rather than reward my attention to detail.
This episode has a lot of coincidences; all the M6 'just happening' to go to the Princesses castle at the same time, the M6 or organ player 'just happening' to trip all the traps and appropriate organ keys and how it all 'just happens' to escalate and be brought together at the end. These coincidences aren't a game breaker for a silly plot, but they do still feel artificial.
The story also lacked impact or weight for me. Not much was at stake and the characters was colourful but hollow. I will admit that it was interesting to see some world building done fairly well. The history of the sisters and their home; now around to see and available in diary form. The diary idea and shadow thing might prove interesting in future. But as with the story, a lot of what was introduced (traps, armour, torches and whatnot) felt like just part of the silliness, and silliness often lacks weight.
Lastly I had a problem with FS's arc in this story, she is shown to be in great distress about the missing loved one under her care (Angel). This serious cause of distress doesn't mix well with the fun and silly tone of the episode, compared to the more trivial causes of the others distress.
All in all, the story was well implemented for a contrived and fairly trivial story. I didn't walk away feeling anything much, except that was kinda a fun experience whilst it lasted. It's a popcorn story, kinda tasty but dry and lacking any sustenance after the encounter.
All in all this type of story is not for me, but I can see its simple appeal. It is safe, like the cartoons of the past. It doesn't try to take itself too seriously, and within that light the issues I could take with it don't matter as much. Sure it was trivial, the characters 1 dimensional and it didn't have any meat on the bones. But it achieved (mostly) what it set out to do, to be a fun little excursion with a emotive cast that carts you along for the ride.This episode might not be like the sausage of prior seasons and I don't personally like popcorn as much as I did sausage. At least it was fairly well made popcorn, unlike the oddly heated mix of popcorn and meat of S3 and PTS.

The Wreck of the San Pedro was added as an additional attraction (and an additional artificial reef) in 1996. Although partially collapsed by the typhoons that have scoured it over the last decade or so, the San Pedro remains a picturesque home for turtles and white tip reef sharks. It's a popular dive sojourn for photographers. Remember as you dive the wreck that a submarine "dive-by" is a possibility. The company that placed the San Pedro on the bottom still tours regularly with Atlantis Submarines. An encounter with a sub provides something extra, exciting and unusual to see.
The Sea Tiger, the YO-257 and the San Pedro were all placed on the bottom near Waikiki to provide focal points for submarine tours. All three were immediately adopted by their environments. Thickly covered in underwater growth, the YO-257 is home to a number of turtles, as well as the usual staggering variety of Hawaiian fish. The stern section of this former Navy yard oiler offers a fairly spacious swim-through that is draped in coral - the ocean slowly and gracefully embracing the man-made. This wreck was prepped for divers, with holes cut into its hull for access and egress. The YO-257 rests at just 95 feet.
These unique cards provide a detailed depiction of the YO-257 and San Pedro wrecks and reefs in Oahu, Hawaii. Each waterproof card is printed on both sides, made of durable PVC plastic and is designed to be taken on the dive. They are also 3-hole punched to fit in standard log books. Card measures (W x L) 5.5" x 8.5" (14cm x 21.6cm) and makes a great gift idea.

Floating Eco-Art: Miss Rockaway Armada at MASS MoCA
Posted By Moe Beitiks On June 7, 2008 @ 2:05 pm In Art,Design,Innovation,Recycled Materials | No Comments
There is currently a totally fun exhibit on view up at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (Mass MoCA) [2] put together by "a small group of people with extensive experience making big, insane projects." The insane project in question is the Miss Rockaway Armada [3], a collection of recycled junk-rafts that spent two summers traveling along the Mississippi River in the spirit of an itinerant circus or a traveling medicine show. The cure-all and genuine good-health elixir of this project was sustainability, a theme the troupe has transferred onto dry land in an interactive exhibit featuring this experimental, floating eco-voyage.
The uniquely creative members of the Miss Rockaway Armada are performers, visual artists, organizers and travel junkies from various organizations, including the bike circus Cyclecide [4] and some experienced junk-raft builders called The Floating Neutrinos [5]. Miss Rockaway floated down the mighty Mississippi river on pontoon rafts made from salvaged, dumpstered and donated wood and foam as a way of demonstrating alternative, eco-friendly transport and living, as well as showing off the opportunity to have a bucket of fun. The exhibit at MASS MoCA [6]is a realization of the Armada on dry land: a creative dreamspace requesting participation from visitors, an archive of experiences on the river, and a space to celebrate big and crazy ideas. It will be on display until March of 2009. We cannot wait to share in the ingenious insanity!

Growths on my Dwarf Gourami's
Could you please help me identify what is happening with my Turquoise Dwarf Gourami? Pictures included.
On Monday 2/25, I first noticed some reddish swelling or enlargement below the eye, on the fishes "Jaw" line - but
not directly on the mouth. This is not evident in the attached pix. On Tuesday 2/26, I noticed on the
lower fin, a small reddish growth or bubble - this you can see the pix. I cannot see or identify anything trailing from either
of these areas.
Furthermore, on Friday 2/22 the same conditions above afflicted one of 2 Flame Dwarf Gourami's. Not exactly knowing
what it was, I removed it from the tank.
Aside from these growths, the aflicted fish were swimming, eating and acting as they had from the day they were introduced
into the tank.
These "Growths" have come on lighting quick. Checked it at night before bed, nothing. The next morning the growth on the
mouth and in the afternoon, the growth on the lower fin.
I am completely perplexed. I could find nothing on the net that matches a similiar profile both in symptoms or pictures.
Please help me identify if you can.
Ammonia & Nitrites are 0ppm.
Nitrates are 5.0ppm
Temp is consistently 79 to 80 degrees F.
pH = 7.3
36 Gallon Bowfront. Set up on 11/24/07. Fully cycled the 1st week of Jan 08.
No Live plants
Fluval 305 canister Filter (about 180 gph)
4 Siamese Algae Eaters (added 2/18/08)
2 Flame Dwarf Gourami (added 12/22/07)
2 Turquoise Dwarf Gourami (added 11/26/07) - lost 1 to droopsy or pop eye back in mid jan 08.
Last water change was 2/24/08 - about 10-15%. Also changed the carbon filters on the Fluval.
Last gravel vacuum was 2/16/08.
The only thing new added to the tank were the Siamese Algae eaters on 2/18/08
The fish are feed Omega One Flakes and Tetra dried blood worms.
As of 2/18/08 I started to feed them the Tetra dried baby shrimp.
Thank You.
The only thing that comes to mind is a possible injury overnight from either an ornament or an attack form another fish.
If you can get that picture to load it could help a lot. Make sure it is small enough and it should upload fairly easily.
Here are some pics...

O.K. all of you out there who wanted snow...did you enjoy it, or are you cursing it now!
By reading some of the comments on stories on witn.com it seems there was a varied reaction to the snow across eastern Carolina. There were certainly plenty of people who wanted to see snow, got their wish and enjoyed it. There were also plenty of people who wanted to see snow but aren't enjoying it.
The downside of course with the snow is the bitter cold, the accidents and how life comes to a standstill. The upside...it is beautiful, it's special because it's so rare and it can be fun.
Whether you enjoyed it or despised it, one thing is certain...it will soon be gone as temperatures return to normal.
