High Street School (1862)Wednesday, May 6th, 2015 Posted in Houses, Schools, Vernacular, Wethersfield | No Comments »
The building at 311 Main Street in Wethersfield was built in 1862 as the High Street School. A brick building, it replaced an earlier wooden school building, built in 1770, which stood just to the south-east. It was in this earlier building that Wethersfield's first library, called the Union Society Library (established in 1783) was located until 1798. The former brick schoolhouse was converted into a residence in 1928 and wooden side dormers were added.
Former Sacred Heart Church, Wethersfield (1880)Sunday, April 26th, 2015 Posted in Churches, Gothic, Wethersfield | No Comments »
A reader who contacted me on Facebook a while back noted the similarities of the former Sacred Heart Church at 32 Garden Street in Wethersfield to another Catholic church, St. Augustine Church in Glastonbury. Perhaps they used the same plans? Sacred Heart Parish began as a mission of St. Mary, East Hartford in 1877 and later became a mission of St. Lawrence O'Toole, Hartford. The building on Garden Street, which was the first Catholic church in Wethersfield, was erected in 1880, on a lot purchased in 1876. The church was dedicated on May 29, 1881. Sacred Heart was made a parish on September 1, 1897 and in 1924 moved to a new building, the former Meggat Seed Warehouse on Hartford Avenue, which was converted into a church. A fire in 1938 forced the congregation to move back into the Garden Street church. By 1943 the former Meggat granary was again made a church and was used by the parish until the current Sacred Heart Church, at 56 Hartford Avenue, was dedicated on June 29, 1963. In the 1940s the former Sacred Heart Church on Garden Street became storage for John Oldham Art and Display (now Oldham Studios). The company was founded in 1931 by John W. Oldham, Sr., an illustrator who painted portraits of movie stars for film premiers in the Hartford area. Continued by his son and grandson, the company expanded into a trade show display design and fabrication company, based at 888 Wells Road in Wethersfield. The Queen Anne house next to the church was built in 1900 as the parish rectory. Read the rest of this entry »
Temple Beth Torah (1824)Monday, December 1st, 2014 Posted in Churches, Colonial Revival, Italianate, Synagogues, Wethersfield | No Comments »
The building at 130 Main Street in Wethersfield was built as a Methodist church and is today a synagogue. The first Methodist sermon in Wethersfield was preached in 1790 by Jesse Lee in the North Brick School House, now the site of Standish Park. Wethersfield was visited by itinerant Methodist preachers until a circuit preacher for Wethersfield, Newington, New Britain, and Kensington was appointed in 1821. Early services were held at Academy Hall until the Methodist Episcopal Church was built at 130 Main Street in 1824. The church was moved 26 feet onto a new stone foundation in 1882. A fire in 1941 destroyed the church's original Sunday school addition of 1913 and damaged the sanctuary. The church was repaired and a new Sunday school addition, twice as large, was constructed. The church soon outgrew its 1824 building and in 1959 moved to a new church at 150 Prospect Street.
The Jewish Community Group of Wethersfield was formed in 1954. The group purchased the former Methodist Church on Main Street in 1960 and adopted the name Temple Beth Torah. The building was converted to become a synagogue and the new Temple's Day of Dedication was celebrated on May 28, 1961. Work began in 1964 to give the Temple a new facade. The former church's steeple was removed and a new entrance in the colonial revival style was added.
Allyn Smith House (1790)Thursday, June 5th, 2014 Posted in Colonial, Houses, Wethersfield | No Comments »
The Allyn Smith House, at 168 Broad Street in Wethersfield, was built in 1790 on what had been the homesite of Abraham Finch in 1634. Abraham Finch (d. 1638) was one of the ten adventurers who first settled Wethersfield.
Dr. Abner Moseley House (1800)Friday, May 2nd, 2014 Posted in Federal Style, Houses, Wethersfield | No Comments »
Built around 1800-1802, the brick house at 200 Broad Street in Wethersfield is attributed to the local builder, James Francis. The Colonial Revival front porch is a later addition. The house was originally the residence of Dr. Abner Moseley (1766-1811). Born in Glastonbury, Dr. Moseley was a graduate of Yale. In 1814, his daughter, Eunice, married Winthrop Buck, the son of Daniel and Sarah Saltonstall Buck. Sarah's sister Elizabeth was the second wife of Silas Deane.
According to Edward Sweetser Tillotson's Wethersfield Inscriptions (1899), Dr. Moseley's stone in Wethersfield's Old Burying Ground reads as follows:
In Memory of Abner Moseley, | a Physician of skill & eminence, | who died Sept. 20-th A.D. 1811, | Aged Forty five. | His Wife Eunice who died Jan. 26 | 1811. Aged Forty three. | Their second daughter Hope, who | died Sept. 29-th 1806, Aged 11. | Their eldest son Robert, who | died Oct. 16-th 1811, Aged 17. | Their youngest Daughter Maria | who died Sept. 30-th 1818. Aged 11. | Their second Son Joseph died July 1 | 1838. Aged 40. Their third Son Walter | died July II, 1838, Aged 39. | Their eldest Daughter Eunice. Wife of | Winthrop Buck, died Aug. 24, 1862. Aged 69. | Their youngest Son William | died March 19, 1868. Aged 62. | Their third Daughter Harriet | died July 15. 1877, Aged 75. | Their fourth daughter Emily | died May 17, 1887. Aged 84.
William Morris House (1890)Tuesday, April 29th, 2014 Posted in Folk Victorian, Houses, Wethersfield | No Comments »
William Morris, founder of Morris Farms, built the house at 188 Broad Street in Wethersfield. His vegetable farming business was passed on to his son, John E. Morris, and then to John's son, Frank H. Morris, who died in 2011.
Corpus Christi Church, Wethersfield (1939)Sunday, October 27th, 2013 Posted in Churches, Colonial Revival, Wethersfield | No Comments »
The first Catholic parish in Wethersfield was Sacred Heart parish, organized in 1876. In August of 1938, the parish's church on Hartford Avenue was devastated by fire. Rev. George M. Grady, pastor of Sacred Heart, soon purchased an extensive tract of land on the Silas Deane Highway for the construction of a new church. Many parishioners assumed that the new church was to replace the one lost in the fire, but it was decided to make the new building a mission church of Sacred Heart. Named Corpus Christi, the new church was designed by architect John J. McMahon (1875-1958) in the Georgian Revival style to reflect Wethersfield's colonial background. It is built of Harvard red brick with limestone trim. The church was dedicated on November 26, 1939 and Corpus Christi was officially established as a separate parish on September 27, 1941.
In July of that same year, the church's pastor, Rev. Patrick T. Quinian, received a letter from Bishop Ambrose Pinger of Shantung (now Shandong), China. A photograph of the Wethersfield church in the Catholic Directory of 1941 had captured the bishop's imagination and he asked to be sent plans for the church so that its design might be copied for the new cathedral in Chowtsun (now Zhoucun)!

Well I get a call today from the doctor's office, and they wanted to reschedule the c-section from 8/1 to 8/5 because my doctor will not be in the office that week any more. This is frustrating because this is the first day of my DH work week and would miss out on the first days with the lo. He ended missing out with our first so we were excited to be able to schedule this when it would work for him. Also, what makes me upset is that they are pushing for moving it to the 5th. It's has been on my doctors and my calendar for so long. I would understand if it was for medical leave or family emergency but they are just saying that she is going to be out of the office. I made the medical assistant ask the doctor for other options who said the only other option is to have another doctor do the surgery, which I am fine with, but they have to first ask the other doctor if he is willing to do it and if he has time that day. I will not know until next week if this option will work which stresses me out because of the unknown. I know none of this will make a bit of difference if my lo comes early.
So, I guess back to my question. I obviously was going to have a scheduled C-section but what if I cannot schedule it for the date 8/1. Then it really does not matter which date the baby comes. Does anyone know if I can just not schedule one and go in when I am in labor? The reason for the c-section is because I had to have one with my first and the local hospital will not do vbacs with previous csections (small hospital). My first was delivered by the doctor on staff at the time.
Sorry this was long but I appreciate any help you can give.

Felipe Macias wins latest Gulfstream Challenge
Felipe Macias (pictured at center) won the most recent edition of the Gulfstream Poker Challenge, outlasting Alfredo Vega (left) and Sergei Kirkonov (right).
Players earned "leaderboard points" by playing in the card room's nightly 6:30 p.m. multi-table tournament, or by playing in one-table tournaments held throughout the day. The top 50 played in the June 5 free-roll and the 10 players in the tournament got at least $500.
The final 10 in the June 5 tournament were: Felipe Macias, Alfredo Vega, Sergei Kirkonov, Bob Binsky, Jose Avila, Martin May, Sergio Cortella, David May, Shinthong Phen, Rolando Wong
The players made a deal on the prize money, but played out the tournament, as per Gulfstream's requirement. So Macias, who took the cash rather than the WSOP trip, really was the big winner, although he might have taken less than the advertised $10,000 for a WSOP seat and $1,000 for expenses.

An area of high pressure along the North Carolina coast will keep the area clear and mild for the next two days. The high will move offshore early Tuesday which will allow southwesterly winds to bring much warmer air into the region. Highs will reach the middle to upper 60s Tuesday and lower 70s by Wednesday afternoon. A weak cool front may bring a few showers by Thursday but significant rainfall is unlikely this week.

Finder sometimes has problems with files on a disc formatted for Windows unless the format is FAT or Ex-Fat.
Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility - select the USB drive, and look at the bottom left for format.

It says MS-DOS (FAT 32).
It was fine for a while, but then kaflooey. Note this is also happening on the PC: It now sees these folders as, if I recall, "files", and also cannot open them.
Anything I might try?

If neither computer can open them then I think the USB stick is corrupted. Hopefully someone smarter than I will see this and can offer a cure.

This is a brand new stick -- maybe two months old. I have bought yet another new stick and moved the entire old stick over, but the files are still not openable. I am worried the problem will simply migrate to the new stick...

I fear this is not a known issue with SL but a cross-platform issue with Windows. If you perform a Google search for "folders turning to unix executables" you'll find you're sadly not alone. Most users report this problem in connection with Windows; see, e.g. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5413592?start=0.
As far as I could find, there's no solution for folders (and neither a satisfactory explanation). I only found this:
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/os-x-operating-system/289108-folders-turned-int o-unix-executable-files-2.html#post1471648
I don't think a data recovery software will help. Afaik, only FileSalvage offers support for FAT32 volumes (Data Rescue's user guide states "limited support"). But you can download a trial version of both applications, do a scan and check whether one finds files to be recovered on the USB stick and/or your inner disk. I'd try with FileSalvage first.
Another suggestion you'll find around is repairing your inner disk (you can't repair a FAT32 volume on a Mac, afaik). This won't do any harm (and probably no good either), but I'd prefer the single user mode. Follow the detailed instructions from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417:
To use fsck:
- Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line.
Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
- At the command-line prompt type:
/sbin/fsck -fy
- Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:
** The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OKIf fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
- When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.
Your computer should start up normally and allow you to log in.
- Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line.

After delivering one of 1998′s strongest underground releases Rasco returns with a teasing 6 track EP, one which finds the Soulfather truly in a stage of infancy. You see Rasco is back at step one, as The Birth is not only the name of Rasco's latest brain child, but it also the birth of his creative independence and the first release of his newly founded label.
Rasco's commanding rhyme style is unleashed with the precision of a drill sergeant commando, as his granite delivery and bone-jarring vocals leave a lasting impression. The aptly-titled opener "Back On The Scene" and "Return Of The M.C." re-establishes Rasco's insatiable quest to rid the planet of spineless emcees. But this EP's most fruitful moments come courtesy of the Cali Agents (Rasco & Planet Asia), as Asia's complicated rhyme schemes, and Rasco's braggadocios lyrics are a combustible, and well-rounded combination. Each display their dominance, as Fresno's crown-jewel Asia catches ungodly wreck on "Final Destination". While Rasco blazes the stabbing piano chords of the EP's undisputed champ, "Blood Brothaz".
Rasco is in every sense of the word a throwback - a no frills, all skills battlerhymer who moves forward incessantly, willing to take a flurry of his adversary's best punches in order to land that one textbook KO right. But Rasco's main strength and Achilles' heel remains one in the same, as the extent of his probing focuses on pulling the skirt of every perpetrating emcee in the business. However, Rasco's personality is compelling enough to keep his limited topic matter from wearing thin, and while his methodical formula is unspectacular, it is sufficient enough to keep Rasco's labor pains to a minimum.

One of the most sensitive indicators of interest rates appears
to have turned a corner. Does that mean rates on savings accounts
and other deposits could soon be headed upward?
Thirty-year Treasury bond yields are a good indicator of the
investor consensus about interest rates, both because they are
publicly traded and because they represent such a long-term
interest rate commitment. Recent months have seen 30-year Treasury
yields make a significant step higher. The question now is whether
this signals a new trend for interest rates in general.
Thirty-year bond yields bottomed out in July 2012 at 2.45
percent. In early February they reached 3.21 percent, more than
three-quarters of a percentage point higher.
As the uncertainty about the election and the fiscal cliff have
cleared, the bond market has been able to respond to signs of
strength in the economy. The
early months of 2013
will be crucial in determining whether this trend can continue.
So far, the response from savings accounts to rising bond yields
has been muted. The
most recent MoneyRates.com rate survey
found that savings account rates continued to decline in the fourth
quarter of 2012, albeit slightly. Money market rates, however,
increased just a little bit. In particular, for both savings
accounts and money market accounts, online banks increased rates
during the fourth quarter.
In short, rates on most savings accounts have not yet headed
higher, but there are starting to be signs that some banks are
willing to buck the trend.
In the big picture,
rates on savings accounts should eventually follow
bond market trends
, but they certainly don't move in lock-step with bond yields. In
particular, two things can cause bank rates to be left behind by a
change in bond yields:
It seems it is still too early for most bankers to feel they
need to follow bond yields higher. However, as the trend toward
higher yields approaches seven months and a full percentage point,
it may be too strong for even bankers to ignore.

A few failures in the early part of the tournament should not tempt the team's think-tank to change this combination because I am sure they will come good soon and start performing continuously", Rajput was quoted as saying by cricketnext. "Sanath, when on song, is a nightmare to the best of bowlers and if both Sachin and Sanath start firing on all cylinders, no bowling side in the world will be able to contain them and to disturb such a combination will only be disastrous to the Mumbai Indians. The team management should have little patience," he added. "Moreover, most of the matches the Mumbai Indians lost were very close matches and could have gone either way. So this is not the time to panic and unsettle the team by making changes at the top but to be patient and reassure the players that everything was fine and the team management would back the openers to the hilt," said Rajput. "If at all the think-tank wants to experiment with new openers, than they should do so against teams which are languishing at the bottom of the table like Kolkata Knight Riders so that even if the new pair flop not much damage would have been done to the team's position on the points table," he concluded. Rajput was the coach of the Mumbai Indians last year, but stepped down due to 'personal reasons'. He had also faced some flak for not restraining Harbhajan Singh when he had famously slapped Sreesanth last year.

Undeserving and worried!

Monday, December 05, 2011
OK...my computer went down November 27th. I only had access to the internet when I went to the public library. I could only spend so much time on the computer. Can someone tell me. What would make a person lose sight of their goals of healthy eating and exercise because of this? I got my computer back on Sunday and I haven't been in Sparkpeople all that much except for today.
I did some late night snacking during that week, (I belong to the Emotional Eating Team) and a Sparkfriend/team member, Gabrielle and I were doing pretty good at avoiding those late night snack urges. My biggest thing was getting up at 2:30am and eating a PB sandwich. I hate to say it....I got lazy! Does the internet have that much influence over us? Granted...I still lost a pound, but I feel undeserving of it.
I slacked on logging my food and exercise tracking in my journal. I did some unhealthy eating. Candy was brought back in the house. Now it's that time of year for my Christmas baking. Peanut Brittle, Almond Toffee, Cutout Cookies, Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies, Spitz Cookies, Popcorn Balls, etc...My nieces and sister is coming to bake with me this year. How do WE get past this time of year? Thanksgiving was a breeze for me! I don't think I have it in me to avoid the those urges and temptations that comes with those Christmas rituals.

Member Comments About This Blog Post:
I'm happy for you that you got your computer back. It's great to have a place to be accountable. It's a lot cheaper than a personal trainer and probably more available than a friend or family member. But it is hard to be dependent on the computer for goals whether it breaks, you don't have time, or you go on vacation. My sister uses the mobile phone app so that's not a worry for her. But I don't have a smart phone. The fact is, this place works! I've tried losing weight without it with no success.
I agree that the ideal is moderation. But that's so hard when there are temptations to indulge everywhere! I have a friend who let herself have everything but only one very small bite of everything. I think I'll try that this year. When we're out, I'll decline but then have a bite of my hubby's desserts.
Report Inappropriate Comment
Don't avoid it - embrace it. Work out more if you will be snacking often. Also...What are Spitz cookies?
Report Inappropriate Comment
I don't think that you should avoid the rituals. Personally, I decided to make my Christmas recipes healthier and a little lighter. Last Christmas, I did not deprive myself at all, but I did eat in moderation. The results were that I lost weight throughout the holidays. That is my plan again for this year. Good luck!

A nonprofit's statement of activities is issued instead of the income statement which is issued by a for-profit business.
The statement of activities focuses on the total organization (as opposed to focusing on funds within the organization) and reports the following:
- Revenues such as contributions, program fees, membership dues, grants, investment income, and amounts released from restrictions.
- Expenses reported in categories such as major programs, fundraising, and management and general.
- The change in net assets resulting from items 1 and 2.
The statement of activities will have multiple columns in order to report the amounts for each of the following classes of net assets: unrestricted, temporarily restricted, permanently restricted, and total.

The party was great. My friends and I had a great time. Good music, nice crowd. Costumes were creative. The boat left on time and returned on time. There was enough space to dance and the cash food and drink bar had reasonable prices and a good menu. Would definitely do it again.

Washington: In another step toward finding Earth-like planets that may hold life, NASA has said the Kepler space telescope has confirmed its first-ever planet in a habitable zone outside our solar system.
French astronomers earlier this year confirmed the first rocky exoplanet to meet key requirements for sustaining life. But Kepler-22b, initially glimpsed in 2009, is the first the US space agency has been able to confirm.
Confirmation means that astronomers have seen it crossing in front of its star three times. But it doesn't mean that astronomers know whether life actually exists there, simply that the conditions are right.
Such planets have the right distance from their star to support water, plus a suitable temperature and atmosphere to support life.
"We have now got good planet confirmation with Kepler-22b," said Bill Borucki, Kepler principal investigator at NASA Ames Research Center.
"We are certain that it is in the habitable zone and if it has a surface, it ought to have a nice temperature," he told reporters yesterday.
Spinning around its star some 600 light years away, Kepler-22b is 2.4 times the size of the Earth, putting it in class known as "super-Earths," and orbits its Sun-like star every 290 days.
Its near-surface temperature is presumed to be about 72 degrees 22 Celsius. Scientists do not know, however, whether the planet is rocky, gaseous or liquid.
The planet's first "transit," or star crossover, was captured shortly after NASA launched its Kepler spacecraft in March 2009.
NASA also announced that Kepler has uncovered 1,094 more potential planets, twice the number it previously had been tracking, according to research being presented at a conference in California this week.
Kepler is NASA's first mission in search of Earth-like planets orbiting suns similar to ours, and cost the US space agency about $ 600 million.
It is equipped with the largest camera ever sent into space – a 95-megapixel array of charge-coupled devices – and is expected to continue sending information back to Earth until at least November 2012.
Kepler is searching for planets as small as Earth, including those orbiting stars in a warm, habitable zone where liquid water could exist on the surface of the planet.
The latest confirmed exoplanet that could support life brings the total number confirmed by global
astronomers up to three.

Columbus residents are more likely to experience a property crime than any other type of illegal activity.
But the Columbus Police Department is making progress to reduce thefts, burglaries, criminal mischief, arson and fraud, recording an 8.2 percent drop in these types of reported incidents last year.
Since 2011, city property crime trends show:
A 38 percent reduction in vehicle thefts
A 21 percent drop in burglaries
A 16 percent reduction in thefts
However, the 2,122 burglaries, thefts and vehicle thefts reported in 2013 — a reduction of 469 from two years earlier — is part of a property crime rate that's still above the national average and remains unacceptable, Mayor Kristen Brown said.
In 2013, about 48 of every 1,000 Columbus residents were victims of property crime, compared with the 2012 national average of about 28 per 1,000. Figures regarding the 2013 national crime rate are not yet available, Columbus Police Chief Jason Maddix said.
Reducing the level of property crimes and curbing the use of illegal drugs are among the city's top priorities, the mayor said.
"Our long-term goal is to cut the (property) crime rate in half from where it is today," Brown said.
To achieve that goal, the police department will continue to push officers to take proactive steps to stop criminals, instead of just responding to crimes after the fact, Maddix said.
For example, the Columbus Police Department made 18,682 traffic stops in 2013 — about 10,000 more than the 8,506 stops recorded one year earlier.
"Traffic enforcement will lead to more criminal arrests," Maddix said.
Other proactive steps emphasized or initiated last year include increasing patrols in problematic areas and having more face-to-face contact with concerned residents, the chief said.
"By being visible in many different neighborhoods, it allows us to be more proactive than reactive," patrolman Ben Quesenbery said. "With the increased police presence, we can help deter the criminals and stop the crime before it happens."
A key factor in the increased patrols was the Community-Oriented Policing and Problem Solving unit, also known as COPPS, which was formed in mid-July, Maddix said. The three-member unit is assigned specific goals and investigations without having efforts interrupted by routine service calls.
But sustainable efforts to reduce property crime can be achieved only by a willingness among residents to work closely with law enforcement to reduce crime and take their neighborhoods back, Columbus Police Department spokesman Lt. Matt Myers said.
"Progress in reducing crime moves at the speed of trust," Myers said.
"If people trust the police and maintain a relationship with us, that's when you start seeing progress."
That public trust is mostly achieved through actions, said Judy Jackson, a Franklin Street resident and 11th and Washington streets watch group member.
"We see more of a police presence in our neighborhood," Jackson said. "More (officers) can be seen walking, as well as driving through our area."
Brown said police documented more than 18,000 community policing patrols in 2013, which are patrols requested by concerned residents in addition to normal police presence throughout the city. Police now document when they are asked to provide additional patrols and how often they visit those areas, Myers said.
Security surveillance
Another step that will help deter crime is installing security cameras at 11th and Washington streets and at other problem areas throughout the city, Jackson said. Ten new security cameras are being installed in selected areas around downtown Columbus this spring.
Cameras are being placed at:
Fourth and Washington streets at The Commons.
11th and Washington streets.
Morningside Park in the East Columbus neighborhood.
The Columbus Police Department training facility on Andrews Street.
The city also will seek a second camera at Ninth Street Park. The locations will have multiple cameras to provide 180-degree coverage of the surrounding areas.
The strategy behind using the cameras is to provide more security in areas where there have been a large number of police calls and as added security for high-value properties such as The Commons.
Columbus Police also give much of the credit for a 37 percent increase in drug-related arrests last year to local residents such as Jackson who are willing to report suspicious activity.
There was a nearly 18 percent increase in reports of suspicious vehicles or persons from residents in the 11th and Washington street area after neighborhood residents established a watch group last August, Myers said.
In the seven months since the organization formed in that neighborhood, statistics show that:
Burglaries have dropped by more than 30 percent.
Thefts are down more than 43 percent.
Batteries have been reduced by 93 percent.
Fights are down 36 percent.
Vandalism has dropped 10 percent.
"We're doing well in the fact that there's a core of people really interested in taking their neighborhood back," watch group facilitator Sheryl Nulph said. "As we continue to grow and gain momentum, I think we will do a better job."
Five new neighborhood watches were established in Columbus in 2013. So far this year, new neighborhood watches being formed involve 15 residents in the area of Cambridge Apartments and 25 in Tipton Lakes, Myers said.
Drug use and property crime
A strong and undeniable correlation exists between property crime and illegal drug use, the mayor said.
"Property crime is often a conversion of cash by criminals to feed their drug habits," Brown said.
She said more than 40 percent of the drug cases Columbus police worked in 2013 were meth-related.
A relatively new concern for Columbus police is heroin, as nine people died last year from heroin overdoses.
The total number of heroin-dealing cases increased from four to 24 last year, Brown said.
The city's fight against drugs was a focal point in the mayor's State of the City address Tuesday night.
Police tactics
Law enforcement is taking a number of different approaches to reduce crime, Maddix said.
The police chief believes the 9-month-old COPPS unit deserves much of the credit for an overall 37 percent increase in drug-related arrests.
"At the same time, our undercover unit continues to target the higher-level drug dealers," Maddix said.
Another part of the multiple-prong approach is trying to get habitual criminals off the street so they aren't committing as many crimes, he said.
Just last month, Columbus Police arrested five people accused of dealing heroin, cocaine or meth.
In 2012, Detective Sgt. Tom Foust was tasked with identifying and tracking repeat offenders. Last year, he identified 68 people who either were consistently being sought for illegal wrongdoing or who had committed numerous crimes in the past.
In 2013, 74 percent of those consistently being sought on warrants were arrested, while 82 percent of repeat offenders were taken into custody, Foust said.
"If we can address the repeat offenders and get a handle on illegal drugs, I think you'll see the overall crime rate keep going down," Myers said.

I have reordered. Great taste and texture.
So good.

Perfect texture, love this.
One star because these in cardbox boxes all arrived broken and my pasta was all spilling out broken!
Posted by 5235229404401484270 on Dec 13, 2015
Love the taste, but it doesn't come in the plastic packaging as listed like it used to, they come in cardboard boxes that were somehow all squashed and open and i opened a box full of broken pasta. disappointed.
Haven't tried yet...

...so giving it the benefit of the doubt. Wish I-herb would let us just evaluate the things we've tried but you have to evaluate on everything you order
Once a spaghetti always a spaghetti
Posted by 4938411125525563921 on Apr 28, 2015
There's really nothing spectacular about this spaghetti vs. others - besides the green colour from the spinach powder. You'll ultimately have the same product if you have regular spaghetti and add raw spinach. Looks good if you like your plate to be aesthetically pleasing.
Gluten Free yet taste almost like norm spaghetti
Posted by Reviewer3035688 on Feb 16, 2015
Need extra time to cook till its soften. But the texture is good. One of the better brand I tasted. But do not overcooked.
Posted by 5294118665708076704 on Jan 28, 2015
Nice way to make my pasta meals a little different
Posted by Rosequartz on Jan 02, 2015
Taste ok, I would prefer it without the spinach.
Posted by hayleywise on Nov 27, 2014
Great flavour and very filling
Surprising Find
Posted by JustSarah on Oct 16, 2014
I bought some of this on a whim and the first time I cooked it, I swear it came out perfectly. This pasta has also held up well despite me taking forever to finish the opened package. The taste is great and it has paired well with Asian or Italian inspired flavors!

"The paper quality is great!! I have received numerous compliments from my friends telling me how fancy and beautiful these save the dates are. I chose the shimmer look and the luminescence is amazing. You will not be disappointed!"
"We ordered these for our save the dates without ordering samples. The quality of the paper is great and very sturdy. The silver shimmer envelopes were amazing as well. We will definitely order more from here."
"Fell in love all over again! Our save the dates came out perfect. Perfect quality, services, & pricing! Would definitely recommend to everyone!"
"We ordered this style because I wanted something traditional and elegant looking that used our colors of gold and navy. We kept the gold the same as it was on the sample and changed the black writing to navy when we personalized it. We also selected the pearl white paper and are very happy we did so. I love the shimmer of it and it makes it look more expensive. The printing occurred very quickly and I had my order less that 2 weeks after ordering. We will definitely be buying the matching invitations."

The long journey from the dark days of May to the thrill of October baseball was completed Thursday afternoon when the Rockies defeated Milwaukee. And, should the Rockies sweep the Dodgers this weekend, they'll win the National League West. Here are a dozen snapshots from an incredible comeback season:
May 29 Hurdle out, Tracy in
The underachieving Rockies had just been swept in three games at home by the Dodgers, outscored 31-13. At 18-28, they trailed L.A. by 14 games in the NL West, leading to manager Clint Hurdle getting fired. Bench coach Jim Tracy was promoted. Almost immediately, the Rockies went on a tear, as Tracy became the first manager in major-league history to lead his team to 40 victories in his first 60 games after it had been at least 10 games under .500.
"I know this is not a perfect scenario. What we need to do is re-establish our identity." — Jim Tracy, upon being hired
June 5-8 Spirit in St. Louis
The Rockies swept the Cardinals on the road, a first for the franchise, jump-starting their hopes of getting back in contention. In the first three games, third baseman Ian Stewart had seven hits, including three home runs.
"As Ian would say, that was sick." — Clint Barmes
June 9-11 Street's road closure
Closer Huston Street had briefly lost his job under Clint Hurdle, but facing the Brewers in Milwaukee, he notched his fourth save in four days. He was the catalyst for an eight-game road winning streak, longest in team history.
"Those are good teams that we beat. We are doing what we said we had to do to get back in this thing." — Todd Helton
June 20 Walkoff statement
With one swing, Todd Helton put all those nagging questions about his surgically repaired back to rest. His two-run, ninth-inning blast off Pittsburgh's Jesse Chavez lifts the Rockies to a 9-7 victory at Coors Field, the Rockies' 15th victory in 16 games.
"There was a calmness in the dugout with Todd coming up. It just felt like it was right and that he was going to get the job done." — Ian Stewart
June 30 Marquis' gem
At Dodger Stadium, Jason Marquis shows all-star form in spinning a two-hit shutout in a 3-0 victory. He needs a mere 86 pitches to become the NL's first 10-game winner. He also delivers a two-run single.
"How can he not be in the All-Star Game?" — Huston Street
Aug. 10 Tulo's cycle
Troy Tulowitzki, the Rockies' most dynamic and talented player, adds another page to his memory book, hustling out a seventh-inning triple to become the fifth player in Rockies' history to hit for the cycle. Tulo finishes 5-for-5 with seven RBIs in an 11-5 victory over the Cubs. In the dugout in the sixth inning, Brad Hawpe tells Tulowitzki he has to go for a triple if he gets the chance.
"I swear I wouldn't have gone if Hawpe hadn't said anything." — Troy Tulowitzki
Aug. 19 CarGo delivers
Carlos Gonzalez never doubted himself, even as others whispered that he couldn't hit big-league pitching. In a 5-4 victory at Washington, he delivers an eighth-inning homer, tying a Rockies' record with a home run in four consecutive road games, his sixth blast in eight games.
"I knew I could do great things. I have always done them, since I started playing baseball when I was 5 years old." — Carlos Gonzalez
Aug. 24 Spilly's slam
LoDo Magic casts it spell over the Giants as Ryan Spilborghs smashes the first walkoff grand slam in Rockies history, finishing off a wild 14-inning, 6-4 victory at Coors Field. The win propels the Rockies four games in front of the Giants in the wild-card race.
"I went from zero to hero." — Ryan Spilborghs
Sept. 4 Giambi magic
Late-season addition Jason Giambi, 38, shows he can still swing a mean stick. For the second time in his first week in purple pinstripes, he delivers the game-winning hit. This time it's an eighth-inning, pinch-hit single off the Diamondbacks' Blaine Boyer in a 5-4 victory.
"Having him here is huge. We know what he can do, and that's why he's been around so long." — Yorvit Torrealba
Sept. 16 Hip, hip, Jorge
Mercurial starter Jorge De La Rosa delivers when it most counts, winning perhaps the biggest game of the season. After consecutive losses to the Giants, and the wild-card lead slipping away, De La Rosa pitches the Rockies to a 4-3 victory at AT&T Park.
"The best performance of my life." — Jorge De La Rosa
Sept. 27 Clint's catch?
Second baseman Clint Barmes fills the hero's role, making a rolling, tumbling catch in the ninth inning on a flare by the Cardinals' Ryan Ludwick to short right field. Barmes doubles up Albert Pujols at first base to give Colorado a 4-3 victory. (Photos that came to light a day later showed Barmes dropped the ball).
"It all happened so fast. . . . I think as I was going down it hit my glove and then it went across my body or something. I don't know." — Barmes
Sept. 29 Iannetta's blast
Catcher Chris Iannetta sat on the bench for much of September as Yorvit Torrealba helped carry the Rockies toward the postseason. Facing Milwaukee reliever David Weathers, Iannetta blasts a 3-2 pitch deep into the Rockies' bullpen, lifting the Rockies to a 7-5 victory in 11 innings and putting them on the doorstep of the postseason.
"That's a season-changer for him right there." — Todd Helton
What's next?
The Rockies, having secured a postseason bid, can now go after a division championship.
The Rockies are the NL wild card if: They lose one game to the Dodgers this weekend.
The Rockies win the NL West if: They sweep the Dodgers, edging L.A. by one game.
The Rockies will face either the Cardinals or the Phillies in the playoffs starting Wednesday, because division opponents cannot face each other in the first round. If Colorado is the wild-card entrant, it faces the nondivision opponent with the best record. Philadelphia has a one-game lead over St. Louis. If Colorado is the NL West champion, it plays the nondivision opponent with the worst record, currently St. Louis.
Rockies vs. Phillies in 2009: 2-4
Rockies vs. Cardinals in 2009: 6-1

Achillon, Cyclacel: Early Volume Plays
TheStreet) -- Several stocks trading under $5 were poised to move on above-average volume during Monday's session. Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals (CYCC - Get Report) jumped by 18 cents, or 6%, to $3.18. Cycacel began its surge last week after a lung-cancer drug had successful laboratory tests reported in two industry journals. The 50-day average daily volume for Cyclacel is 3.5 million, according to the Nasdaq.Achillion Pharmaceuticals (ACHN - Get Report) was among the most active pre-market trades, jumping by 46 cents, or 13.5%, to $3.85 in the premarket session on Monday, after the company reported additional positive results for a hepatitis C drug. The 50-day average daily volume for Achillon is 444,000, according to the Nasdaq.

Great art really love it!
Somehow, I think you game me an idea over here? Btw, nice work!
The lines and the colors are amazing oh jegus.
Luv it, him, ..... whatever <3
Luv it, him, ..... whatever <3
wow if you drew more werewolves I certainly would not complain.
Reminds me of a Blutbad the Grimm series o.O
Oh, hump me, big bad wolf.
How nice! I have a heads up. I am noticing art on tumblr from artists like you with no source. Do I have links? Sadly no. How come your art isnt signed? It's too good to fall into the wrong hands.
It isn't signed? Majority of my artworks either have copyright or watermark.
Damn! That is one fine-looking werewolf! I want some'a that! XD
Not´so bad were wolf
Nice work!
seeeeeeexy wuff wuff
I don't know who that is or where he came from... but he's hot. AWWOOOOO! Shake that tail baby, Yeah!
Without a doubt the best looking werewolf I've ever seen.
im a cat is he gonna chase me?
WOOF WOOF so hot!!
Cool work. I like werewolves a lot, actually. I just don't respect classic werewolves, or Twilight werewolves. I've got my own style of hybrid.
Werewolves aren't really my cup of tea.
't stand how wierd they are, actually. But, as I said, I've got my own style of hybrid that makes them not so bad.
Wow, great. Werewolves are cool (as well as werecats). Bet it's not simple to stylise both skin and fur in such anime-style. And your version is very well balanced!
Werewolf? Insta-favorite!

While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.
