Chyla22 Mar 9, 2011 1:05 PM
in response to jkohioI just recently bought the iMac and also have a samsung fascinate. I am having a difficult time trying to transfer photos as well. I've tried pairing it with the bluetooth, but it will only pair the phone and not connect with the phone, saying the phone does not have everything it needs to connect. Have you yet figured out a way to fix this problem? If so advice would be great. I've never had Mac before and its hard getting used to. Thanks in advance.
Brent Darting Apr 2, 2011 10:14 PM
in response to Chyla22Just got my fascinate (Galaxy S) and am having the same problem. Any solutions? I love the phone except for this!
SCGeordie Apr 2, 2011 11:47 PM
in response to Brent DartingThis may fix it
(with USB disconnected)
Go to 'Settings' on the Fascinate, choose 'SD card & phone settings' then 'Unmount SD card'
Power off the Fascinate
Power back on and got to 'Settings' again, choose 'USB settings', select 'Ask on connection'
Power off and back on (can't remember if this is necessary but can't hurt!)
then connect USB, should hear the Mac recognise the connection and Fascinate should ask if you want to use 'Media player' or 'Mass storage' ('Mass storage is what you want') Mac should then recognise the device as external storage.
If this works please tweet #Froyogate to @VZWSupport help us all get Froyo on our Fascinate.

in response to jkohio
I hope you have found the solution by now, but I don't see the answer in any of these posts. In fact, I came here a few minutes ago looking for the answer myself, but stumbled on it by accident.
I did try the "unmount SD card" procedure suggested by SCGeordie, but that didn't work for me. Note that I still had the USB cable plugged in, the Samsung Galaxy asked me which USB connection, and I did select "Mass Storage". Unfortunately, the iMac never saw the Samsung.
I decided at this point to attempt Bluetooth, so I went to the top of the samsung screen, and enabled Bluetooth (USB cable still connected). At that point, the Samsung phone asked me if I wanted to mount the phone for storage transfer to the "PC". I hit mount, and it appeared on the Mac.
The problem appears to be a Galaxy issue. Not sure why enabling bluetooth brought up the mount option, but that is what we have been missing.
Good Luck!

Kudos and Thanks to Analog_ed!!!!
This is the only trick that worked for me.

in response to analog_ed
I bought a Galaxy Note 2 days ago. It was recognised. After unplugging my mac Book won't recognized again, even I had set the phone back to factory default settings.
I also tried your method and the Bluetooth does not recognize the USB. I don't have a micro card in the unit.
Much appreciated.

in response to pok chi
Hi Pok Chi:
I had a similar issue with a usb jump drive when I was running VMWare fusion. I ejected the usb drive from VMWare and then forgot to eject from the iMac itself, and from that point on the iMac would not recognize the drive properly.
I completely powered down the iMac, removed all the power sources, waited 60 seconds (for all the caps in the computer to discharge) and powered it back up. It recognized the drive w/o problem after that.
I can't explain why it worked, it seems a little "black magic" to me, but you may try if nothing else works.
Good Luck!
pok chi Nov 27, 2011 8:07 PM
in response to analog_ed
No, it didn't work.
This worked:
I am also a Macuser and very happy with the Galaxy S, much better than a certain Apple-madeunit that can't make phone calls...!
I do not "sync" with the phone asexperience of bilateral data transfer is usually a disaster waiting to happen,and you will not know what has been lost until you need it. For example, youcreate a new record on the device, and it is there not on the Mac. Should iSyncthen remove it off the device (lose the data) to match the records on the Mac?Although the answer is clear in theory, some "sync" softwares tend toget confused.
For the Address Book, I do the following:
1) Open Address Book and select the contacts Iwant, usually held in a group called "Phone" to make it easier.
2) Export the records as a "vcf"file. Save to the Desktop to make it easier.
3) Assuming your phone is paired, select the"Browse (your phone name)..." from the Bluetooth menu.
4) Send the "vcf" file to the phone.
5) On the phone, open "My Files"which is the built-in file manager to check the file has arrived and itslocation to remember for future.
6) Open Contacts and then delete all theexisting Contacts as you will be replacing them.
7) Select Import/Export and then select fromSD card.
8) Select your VCF file that you sent to thephone and job done.
For Notes and stuff, I keep a text file on theMac. This can be edited and sent to the phone in the same way. On the phone, Ican edit it and pull it back the same way such as with new contact names readyto put it the Mac. Can keep lots of files for different purposes, Reminders,Shopping Lists, To Do Lists, etc.
Similarly, for database stuff, I keep themaster on the Mac and "print to pdf" from the Print dialog box. Theresulting PDF is sent to the phone and opens in "PDF Reader" (freefrom Android Market). The built-in Adobe PDF Reader is fast but does not allowsearching. the "PDF Reader" allows searching. I have an 800 page PDFwith 3 records per page. It can search all 800 pages for some text in about 5seconds to reach the 800th page which is fast enough for my daily use and a lotquicker than trying to do SQL dumps etc.
Have not tried the iCal export but presume itwould follow the same process. Export from iCal as a vCal file, send to phone,and import into Calendar?
This may sound cumbersome, but it keeps datasafe, easily backed-up on your Mac, and it is a lot easier once you are used toit. If it was more complex, I would have created an AppleScript to do the gruntwork. It is actually easier to do it just from the above steps.
Hope it helps, and from what I gather, you andI are the only Mac people here!
I got my address book transfer!
Many thnaks, Ed.

KiesAir on your phone alows you to download onto your mac. I'm using the Galazy Note and it is working for me.

in response to pok chi
@ pok chi. Just tried the link and that doesn't work! Safari just says it can't connect to the server.
My case: Bought a Samsung Galaxy SII last week. Tried Kies Air over wifi and it connected perfectly to my Macbook Pro the first time, excatly how it should. SInce then, I've upgraded to the latest Android version 2.3.5 and neither Kies Air or Kies Mini will work.
Will try the Bluetooth route as suggested by analogue_ed, but this is getting quite frustrating...
juliesitz Jan 1, 2012 4:28 PM
in response to jkohio
Good news! I have had the same problems with trying to get the photos from my samsung fascinate to my macbook pro. I FINALLY got it! Using the Bluetooth pair the phone and the mac. Then FROM THE PHONE go to your gallery and select all the pictures you want to transfer. Click Share and choose bluetooth. Then from your mac it will ask if you want to accept these files.
FYI, you DO have to have Bluetooth sharing enabled in your system preferneces/sharing. The pics went to my download folder, imported them into iphone and whala! I have been working on this forever and am so excited to finally figure it out! Hope it helps all of you.
Creatavision Jan 21, 2012 7:35 PM
in response to jkohio
I think this is the simplest way for anyone else interested in this.
I have been able to do it via bluetooth on my Macbook Pro, but not iMac. Same issue as many others.
So, I connected via USB, clicking YES when it warns it will disable other things.
I then open up the Kies application, which you can download.
It will show you when you are connected, in the panel on the left. Once connected, click on Pictures, which will show all of the photos on your phone.
Even though it is a Mac, click Save to PC. It will save to the Samsung directory, which will be on your home drive (where downloads etc are saved to), in a directory within that called photos. (Just search Samsung, if you can't find it, to see where it is hiding).
Do the same for videos, music and anything else.
Took and seems no one way is consistent!!

Lago Tacos to open in former Heidi's space on Thursday
If you ask us, Minneapolis could always use more tacos. Fortunately, this year has been fruitful on the corn tortilla front. Boca Chica celebrated 50 years of service with $1 tacos in March, Taco Cat started delivering tacos by bicycle in April, and now Lago Tacos, Excelsior's lakeside taco joint, is opening a new location on Lyndale Avenue in the former Heidi's space.
See also:
Lago Tacos coming to former Heidi's space
Lago Tacos will serve up street-style tacos with fillings like shrimp, tuna, lobster, and steak. Our personal favorite is the most Minnesotan of all -- the walleye taco, featuring beer-battered walleye, chipotle mayo, a cabbage blend, pico de gallo, avocado, and queso fresco. There's also a beef and potato combo that sounds like comfort-food heaven, served with colby-jack cheese and the usual fixings. Each order comes with three corn tortilla tacos and your choice of pinto beans, Lago rice, or sweet corn cakes.
If tacos aren't your thing, Lago also offers "monster burritos" served with a choice of side, in addition to appetizers like fried avocado, tostadas, and seafood ceviche.
Lago Tacos serves breakfast on the weekends, with options ranging from chilaquiles (fried tortilla chips with chicken, salsa verde, cheese, and eggs) to French toast. The restaurant also offers extensive wine, beer, margaritas, specialty drinks, and tequila options. Lago's Excelsior location currently offers 26 varieties of tequila, ranging in quality from first to third tier. For those attempting bikini-ready bodies, Lago offers a skinny margarita prepared with Sauza tequila and a homemade skinny margarita mix.
Check back next week for our first look at Lago Tacos.

Here is a link to the bc article. I was wondering what you guys think. I've always felt odd when I see my DSD sing things like Poker Face and Umbrella, like even though she doesn't know what it means, it could still attract the wrong sort of attention to her. As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse I'm scared out of my wits of the idea of something happening to either of my kids, step or not, or any kid for that matter and I wonder if expossing them to these sexually oriented music could put them at more risk. And then theres the so called angry music. Cause honestly my LO seems to like Rammstien and Motorhead, they put her to sleep.
What say you?

Instead of using traditional wax that sticks to the skin, sugar wax just aims at the unwanted hair.

Authors: Ramaseshan, S. Ed.

Abstract: This volume presents 65 of C.V. Raman's publications in the field of optics. His celebrated Baroda Lectures (1941) reprinted here is a masterly elucidation of many optical phenomena reflecting forty years of living with light. Here may be found expositions on the geometrictheory of Fresnel diffraction, diffraction by a sphere and a circular disc, the study of haloes and coronae, and his discovery of the speckle phenomenon (1919) from observations of the radiant spectrum seen by the eye. Raman's surprising observations on conical refraction, the wave-like character of periodic precipitates, the propagation of light in polycrystalline media, and the remarkable study of mirages, of new relevance today in the context of cosmic mirages formed by gravitational lenses, are to be found in this collection.

Authors: Ramaseshan, S. Ed.

Abstract: Volume VI of the Scientific Papers of C.V. Raman contains the work Raman did in the last decade of his life. It also contains the charming monograph he wrote entitled the Physiology of Vision. Raman brings out the important point that the characteristics of human vision that play an important role in the perception of color are as important in deciding a quality of a gem or a mineral as its optical properties. A simple method is given by which one could actually view one's own retina and explore its behavior under various spectral excitations. Raman studies in detail the remarkable but not too widely known faculty of the unaided eye to recognize polarized light and also locate its plane of polarization. Raman investigates the incredible power of the eye to discriminate colors differing by as little as 10 angstroms. The book is full of simple experiments in wavelength which can be set up and that illustrate many unforeseen aspects of the perception of light and color.

So yesterday, having been in town all of about twenty-four hours and not yet having much of note worth saying, I decided to burn a little digital ink by introducing myself to all you fine folks.
Related Content
And that was all well and good. I said hello. A few of you said hello back, and offered your heartfelt welcomes (which I appreciate, by the way--and no, I'm not just saying that). It was a successful virtual handshake, if I do say. All except for one thing.
See, I am more than happy to answer any questions you good people might have for me. As we go forward, I might even have some useful answers to offer--about food, primarily, and the people who cook it, those who serve it and where to get it. But right off that bat, SeattleDee hit me with the one question that I can't answer.
Welcome, Jason... SeattleDee wrote. Can't wait to check out your style as you check out ours. So, how DO you decide where to start?
That's been the big question I've been asking myself for the past couple weeks, the one that plagued me during the (few) quiet moments I had on the road, the one that's hung over me like a small but persistent cloud for every step I've taken in my new home. I've got an entire city laid out in front of me. Thousands of restaurants. Thousands of cooks and chefs, crazy bakers, frantic owners, blooded grillmen and bent sauciers. There are a million plates out there just waiting for me. So which one do I get my face into first?
In prison, they tell you that the best way to earn the respect of your fellow inmates is to find the biggest, meanest, ugliest motherfucker on the block and beat him with a chair. First day of grade school? Being small and rather nerdly, my mother always told me just to keep my head down and not do anything to call undue attention to myself. Among restaurant critics, there is this notion that the best way for one to make a name for himself in a new town is to pick some old, creaking, beloved battleship of a place and lay into it like the owner had said something nasty about your sister. Either that, or pick a place that the former critic had loved and hate it, loudly and publicly, just on general principle.
None of those methods really work for me, though. I'm just not a motherfucker-beating, reflex-hating kind of guy. Neither am I the meek and pointy-haired mama's boy I was at 12 or 13. In past gigs, I haven't had the luxury of taking time to choose my first
victim target review. I've been dropped in to a new town with the next restaurant already set up on the block for me, just waiting for me to pass judgment.
Things here are a little bit different, though. Thanks to the good works and forethought of my predecessor (the inimitable Jonathan Kauffman, one of my favorite food writers working today), I've got a little breathing room. And so, Seattle, I turn SeattleDee's question back to you: since I'm not really sure where I ought to start, where do all of you think your new restaurant critic should eat first?
So show me what you've got, folks. All suggestions/thoughts/warnings welcome. Use the comment button below, or if you're feeling shy, just drop me an email at email@example.com. Fair warning: All good ideas will be ruthlessly stolen and eventually passed off as my own. All bad ones will be viciously and openly mocked. But don't let that scare you off. I mean, we're all in this together now, right?

Bar owners will close their doors an hour earlier and there will be no shuttle buses from park and ride lots as Chapel Hill officials try to curb the wild partying that marks Halloween.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reports that town officials announced Tuesday that bars will close at 1 a.m. on Nov. 1 instead of 2 a.m.
Town officials had already announced that they will no longer offer shuttle buses from park and ride lots, a move designed to discourage out-of-towners from coming to Franklin Street to celebrate Halloween.
Last year, 80,000 people converged on downtown Chapel Hill. Police said 13 people were arrested and eight people were taken to UNC Hospitals. In 2006, police arrested 27 people, and a man was shot during a robbery.

The Alps (not rated) - The people have chosen, and the people chose good. Last fall's winner of the Putnam Museum's "Everyone's a Critic" series - which follows climber John Harlin's attempts to scale the north face of the Eiger mountain, where his father perished in 1966 - is such a breathtaking spectacle that watching it makes you a little dizzy; not from the Eiger's treacherous inclines and precipitous drops, which are (enjoyably) vertigo-inducing enough, but from the dazzling visual rush provided by director Steve Judson and his remarkable team of camera operators. Judson re-creates Harlin's ascent with jaw-dropping skill - you'll fight the urge to blurt out "How on earth did they film that?!" repeatedly during The Alps' 45-minute running length - and he and his crew photograph the Swiss mountain ranges with crystalline perfection; I'm not sure any movie has ever looked better in IMAX format. When the film turns to matters of geology and the historic make-up of the mountains, things get a little stodgy, but you're quickly returned to the awe-inspiring vistas, an unexpectedly touching human element courtesy of Harlin and his understandably worried wife and daughter, and, believe it or not, a series of marvelously employed Queen tunes that - in this format, at least - suggest what the elevator ride to heaven would sound like.

RAMBO and MEET THE SPARTANS
In recent articles, I've mentioned how thoroughly I'd been looking forward to There Will Be Blood, and some might wonder whether my anticipation had me predestined to love the film, regardless of what was actually on-screen. I'd like to think not, but it's hard to deny that expectations do play an enormous part in one's enjoyment - or lack thereof - of any movie.

Before seeing Stomp the Yard, in which a young hip-hop dancer from Los Angeles adjusts to fraternity life at Atlanta's Truth University, I didn't know much about step dancing. But after watching director Sylvain White's inspirational drama, I discovered that there are apparently two distinct types - there's great step dancing and then there's really great step dancing. Though the movie is ostensibly a coming-of-age story wherein our hero, DJ (Columbus Short), finds respect and love during his first year of school, it's really just 8 Mile or Bring It On for the dance world, as warring frats compete to see whose moves out-step whose. (Step dancing - frequently practiced at African-American universities - is a combination of marching and precise choreography, generally accompanied by chants and, in this movie's case, taunts.) Yet it's pretty easy to guess which groups of dancers will be considered the greatest in Stomp the Yard - it's whichever dancers go next.

Paul Cameron's Bedfellows At Moscow State University
Jim Burroway
June 21st, 2008
The New York Times last year ran a short profile on Moscow State University's sociology department, where students have lodged complaints about that department's academic standards and living conditions. Students allege that the dean, Vladimir Dobrenkov, has institutionalized anti-Western, xenophobic, nationalistic, and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories in the department, which goes a long way toward explaining Cameron's warm welcome there earlier this week. According to The Times:
The dean's office has distributed a brochure to all students that approvingly quotes the 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion,' blames Freemasons and Zionists for the world wars, and claims that they control U.S. and British policy and the global financial system," the students wrote in one of their public appeals. "Studying conditions at the department are unbearable."
"The quality of the education has become so low that it has become terrible," said one of the students, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation by staff members. "For the last two years all of my education has had to be self-education."
Richard Bartholomew at Talk to Action has more information about Dobrenkov's nationalistic views and anti-western conspiracy theories.
A working group of Russian academics from the Public Chamber of Russia responded to student complaints and inspected MSU's sociology department. They found several deficiencies, including:
- The level of training among the faculty "does not meet world standards," nor do they follow current knowledge and trends in sociology.
- A number of teaching aids, specifically a three-volume basic textbook that Dobrenkov co-wrote with Elena Kravchenko was found to be "totally unsatisfactory" for not taking into account the current state of sociology in Russia and abroad. Several examples of plagiarism were also found in the textbook along with conflicting interpretations of key concepts.
- While some graduate-level work by students were found to be "quite professional," others offered for inspection to the working group included ideological expressions of bigotry against other cultures.
- Questions on final exams fell short of the current state of sociology. Students received high marks on their exams despite not knowing about the works by major well-known scientists.
- MSU's faculty operates in near-complete isolation from the rest of the sociological world. With few exceptions, members of MSU's faculty aren't published in significant sociology journals, they don't participate in international conferences, and they don't invite external experts for lectures.
- The working group also noted that Dobrenkov plans to train students in what he calls "Orthodox sociology." This, the working group noted, was especially troubling for a leading national university which trains sociologists who are then expected to compete in international sociology.
Given Paul Cameron's numerous denunciations by professional associations here in the United States — including two denunciations by the American Sociological Association — it looks like he found some kindred spirits at Moscow State who may well be receptive to his proposed pogroms against LGBT people here and abroad.

Last yr they lost about $1 million which I think was a 2 cents loss....this year I predict a 2 cent gain for the quarter.With over $20 million cash kicking around, they should look into acquiring another small HMO or else start paying a dividend.
Until they get to a much bigger size, it will be hard to predict EPS quarter to quarter. I would not commit too much of my investment portfolio to this penny stock. You should all note that the many of big players in the business have reported higher than expected medical expense ratio in the 4Q. They can absorb it over an extended time, while it is not clear about MDF being able to absorb bad results for an extended time.hl444
What MDF needs to do with $20M in cash? (I think that is a million dollar question)I'll give an example which hopefully relevant to MDF situation. -------------------------------------------Here is the answer from Warren Buffett during 2006 annual shareholder meeting Q&A session when a shareholder from Des Moines said that he has a "two year rule" for his closet and "If I haven't worn a pair of pants in two uears it goes to Goodwill" How about Berkshire $40B in cash?Answer from Warren: "It won't go to goodwill, I can assure you". I don't think we will hot home run under any circumstances. We need about $10 billion because of our insurance operations-we don't scrape the bottom of the barrel. We have a low probability idea that could take $15 billiob. Business opportunities comes in intervals. We don't like having excess cash . but we like even less doing dumb deals. you are right to keep jabbing us on that.Answer from Munger: If you go back to Berkshire annual report of 10 years ago and compare it today, you'll see that we have put a lot of good stuff in the company.----------------------------------------------
I haven't calculate how much exactly MDF should have in cash at all times (as a reserve) at their current business size but I'm guessing it will be at least $10M which is about 6% of one year revenue. 6% (or more depending on the quality of the asset or loan) is usually what the financial institution need to reserve (in equity/liquid equity). I don't know what is the rate or method for HMO company in calculating reserves. I tried to calculate what HUM number looks like and they are at about 7% revenue (after reducing the cash to offset the account payable since their account receivable is so much smaller than the account payable)whether it is buy back , dividend or acquire more practices or expand to more counties, no one know for sure which one will give the best return, but if opportunity exist , I will want them to invest the money to grow the business (acquire or expand to more counties). I don't prefer them to pay dividend or buy back stocks. I still remember when they sold 5M shares to get $3M a couple years ago to get out of the tax default issue with the IRS, and buying back 5M shares today will take $13-$14M. I know the past is the past and if $2.7 is a good value today then it still make sense to buy back. In the mean time (while waiting for opportunities) they can keep the cash in reserve to make sure when they are in cash crunch they will not need to dilute shareholder at a ridiculous price. Plus they should be able to get 4-5% interest in the short term investment (like money market account) nowadays... CNU take a risk and spend most of their $8M in cash to pay the debt that they incurred during the last acquisition and bring down the cash to $1M. I think that is risky but it can be good if in the next 1-2 years there is nothing wrong with the business and industry , they can use the cash flows to build the reserve back.Anyhow.. it's a good problem to have.. on what to do with the excess cash.. versus.. being short of cash and need to raise money to pay obligation....Stan
I'm ok with 2 cents, but based on the 3rd quarters performance and even accounting for additional marketing expense for the HMO, I think they can even do better.We should know in a few days and even if the HMO didn't quite meet expectations, shares at this price are a bargainby any standard.Rooky

Four months after the planned first firing of his new pizza oven, Al Calozzi's finally secured the permit to sell tomato pies at his eponymous
Four months after the planned first firing of his new pizza oven, Al Calozzi's finally secured the permit to sell tomato pies at his eponymous Pioneer Square cheese steak joint.
"We had thought that we'd be starting sooner, but we're pumped up," says Calozzi, who started selling pizza last week. "We're having great reviews non-stop."
Calozzi makes his pies in the Trenton, N.J.-style, which means the hand-tossed crusts are thin and the cheese - sliced, not shredded - goes beneath the sauce.
In addition to the traditional plain tomato pie, Calozzi is topping slices with sausage and pepperoni from Salumi. A fourth variety is available every Friday, when Calozzi runs a special: "It could be a white pie, we could throw some clams on there," he says.
When it comes to pizza, I'm probably better versed in Detroit and Dayton's contributions to the genre, but a slice of Calozzi's pepperoni pie was remarkably reminiscent of a pizza I had last summer in Seaside Heights. The underbelly was nicely crisped, the chewy crust had a good smack of salt and the cheesing was appropriately spare. But the standout was the zesty sauce, which Calozzi credits to his brother.
"He puts a little black pepper down in the center, it's something my mother did," he says, adding the flavor's also boosted by "a little herbs and a little secret stuff."
The pizza isn't cheap by Jersey standards: Calozzi charges $4, or nearly double what folks might pay for a slice back east. But, as Calozzi points out, tomato pies are ubiquitous on his home coast. Here, the extra cash being asked of customers amounts to an exclusivity tax.
"It's authentic, that's all we're trying to do," Calozzi says. "We want to introduce Seattle to something completely different."
Restaurant hours will soon be adjusted to accommodate pizza fans; Calozzi already stays open until 4 a.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, but plans to soon move closing time from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on other weeknights.
"We want to get people familiar with tomato pie," Calozzi says.

Sweatt signed a secret guilty plea within two weeks of his arrest. "The fastest we'd ever seen," says Fulkerson. "He just wanted it over with." With Sweatt's help investigators closed out 353 fires—apparently all he could remember—stretching back into the '80s. Never before had a detective questioned Sweatt about any of them.
After sentencing, Sweatt was quickly sent to the United States Penitentiary at Terre Haute, the famously rough prison where Timothy McVeigh was put to death. Barring a transfer, Sweatt will spend the rest of his life there.
He still thinks often of fire, and his mind tends to drift back to old blazes, stirring feelings of exhilaration and shame. Of course I see Evart St each and every night, he wrote, in reference to the fire that killed Jones. His fantasies now are the same as they were on the outside, the only difference being that fire now lies beyond his reach. For that he seems thankful:
My sister in Ohio sent pictures of her house (I never seen) and her yard is beautiful. She has real grass that looks like carpet and flowers are really pretty. Her neighborhood reminded me of the Birtchwood Community off Livingston Rd in Oxxon Hill Md. My mind started to think of evil thing to do in that neighborhood. That's so sad.
Those demons are still in me.
For more than two decades, the survivors of the fire at Quincy Place never knew that Sweatt was responsible for it. Sweatt admitted to setting that fire and killing Bessie Mae Duncan in a letter to me late last year. His account took some time to verify; the only victim's name he offered in the letter, I later realized, was spelled phonetically: "Roy Peacock." Aside from the misspelled name, the details in the Post report matched perfectly with Sweatt's telling: An early-morning fire in the winter of 1984n85, a rowhouse just off Florida Avenue NW, a 30-something man in his underwear on the front porch, a young man shouting from the basement, and a wife who never made it outside.
(I hoped to clarify the name misspelling with Sweatt, but our correspondence was cut off this past winter, when prison administrators began returning my letters with notices stating that the inmate was on "restricted correspondence." Sweatt declined through a prison official to meet with me in person.)
I was unable to locate a Roy Picott, but I found a Rodney Picott, 40, and his sister, Cheryl Legros (formerly Cheryl Picott), 41, living near Nyack, N.Y.
Both of them had been in the house during the fire.
When I spoke on the phone with Rodney, he seemed unsettled by the fact that a reporter had questions about a 22-year-old fire. And yet it was clear he had never managed to answer his own questions. "I wasn't really pleased with that report," he said, almost immediately, in reference to the carelessly dropped cigarette. "It's amazing that I remember that phrase.…It's etched in my memory." That report suggested recklessness on the Picotts' part, which never sat well with Rodney. I agreed to meet with him and Cheryl the following afternoon at a coffee shop in the bustling Palisades Mall in Nyack.
The life of the Picott family had just two chapters: Before the fire and after. When I shook Cheryl's hand, I realized she couldn't have forgotten it if she tried—she still bore the burn marks on her forearms. "You know girls when they're 19—on top of the world," she said. "It was rough. But I got through it." She said she still keeps the withered Post report that detailed the blaze. "I think that was all I ever talked about for years. That's not the way that fire started. They put that in the paper and just dropped the investigation. That was the end of it."
The official fire report on the Picott blaze was dubious on its face. It's dated the same day as the fire, even though much of the house was destroyed. What could possibly be determined with confidence in a gutted house in a matter of just a few hours? The Picott children told me there's an even simpler reason they considered the official line nonsense: Nobody in the house smoked cigarettes.
"We couldn't figure out where it started," Cheryl said. "We kept running over and over in our head, 'What could have happened?'"
About a year ago, a D.C.-area detective had reached out to Rodney. The detective told him that they'd locked up a man who was responsible for a number of fires in D.C. in the mid-'80s, and that they believed this man had set the Quincy Place fire. That was all Rodney knew—the detective never told him the full story. (If the detective was elliptical with Rodney, perhaps it was because he had to be. Investigators have not been allowed to discuss Sweatt or the Quincy Place fire publicly, because Sweatt apparently confessed to it after he'd arranged a proffer.)
I told Rodney and Cheryl about Sweatt and my pen-pal relationship with him, then showed them the letter with Sweatt's account of the "Roy Peacock" fire. The more Rodney read, the more assured he was that Sweatt was the man the detective had told him about. "He's right about too much," Rodney said—like the fact that the house remained a shell for years. (Rodney knew this as well as Sweatt did, since he visited the vacant house whenever he was in D.C.) And there was another detail that Sweatt offered independent of the Post report—the funeral for Bessie Mae Duncan, which Sweatt claimed was at McGuire Funeral Service on Georgia Avenue, near the Maryland line. Rodney couldn't remember the name of the home, so he made some calls to family members.
After he hung up, he said, "It was at [McGuire's]."
Rodney said he took comfort in knowing Sweatt was serving a double life sentence. "It's not like he's walking around," he said. "I don't want to know why he did it, because I could care less."
I gave them a copy of the letter and left. Cheryl took some time to digest the news. She later said, "Now when I look at my body, I see it differently. It wasn't an accident. There's no more guessing. [There's no cigarette] left burning. Some lunatic did it."
The cause of the fire may have been settled, but the letter held a separate mystery. In it Sweatt wrote that he went to the funeral for Bessie Mae Duncan. He never explained why. Was it just another voyeuristic impulse he was acting on? Was it the hope of seeing Roy Picott again? Or was it the guilt of a young man, then just 30, who had to know he'd cause more heartache before the fires stopped? No matter—he never went inside McGuire's. He just stood outside, alone in the rain, missing his chance to pay his respects to the dead.
There was only 1 death, he wrote, so I left it at that.
Sweatt may have followed the aftermath of his fires diligently, but in that last matter he was mistaken. The newspaper account of the fire revealed that Roy Picott was in critical condition, having sustained burns over 60 percent of his body. Unbeknownst to Sweatt, Picott underwent a series of surgeries at Washington Hospital Center in a vain effort to save him. He died on March 5, 1985, less than two months after his wife.

Fort Knox Museum gets 9/11 fire truck
FORT KNOX, Ky. (AP) — A fire truck that responded to the terrorist attack at the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001 will be displayed at the General George Patton Museum of Leadership at Fort Knox.
Museum director Christopher Kolakowski told The News-Enterprise (http://bit.ly/VUfOnp) that the truck is being prepared and preserved before it is put on display. He says the museum hopes to host an event when the truck is moved to its exhibit space, but they haven't decided yet when that will be.
The newspaper reports that the museum is one of only a few to be able to exhibit a public fire truck that responded to the 2001 attacks.
The truck was several yards away when a plane hit the building, but suffered observable damage.
Kolakowski said he reach out to touch the truck as soon as the tarp was pulled off.
"It was a very spiritual moment for me," he said. "The real object, the real place, has a power that reproductions and photographs don't have."
Museum officials hope to make a reproduction of the Pentagon ablaze behind the truck and relay information about the history of the piece, which museum employees are still researching.
"It's a very powerful story," he said. "My job is to get out of the way and let it tell itself."
The Center of Military History offered the truck to the museum in August and it arrived in September.
Before it is exhibited, the truck will be cleaned, drained of its fluids, stabilized where one tire is flat and go through a preservation process that will ensure it looks the same in 50 years as it does now.
"We have a responsibility not only to the past, but to the future," he said.
The museum's purpose is to help train soldiers, so Kolakowski said it's important that troops know the impact that the attacks had.
"I want them to understand and I want them to remember just what 9/11 was," he said. "It was our generation's Pearl Harbor, and I want them to remember what it was to the Army."

Point and Clique
How the Poms, the Jocks, and the GOP Band rule Washington High School.
Gaze around the sprawling Washington High campus at lunchtime, and the social geography is clear. High on the Hill, the Jocks and the Poms are eating in style, elbows up on linen tablecloths. "You wouldn't dare come here if you didn't know the people," chirps Mary Martha Corinne "Cokie" Roberts, head of the pompom squad (hence: Poms) and a leading contender for prom queen. "Once you're in with the girls and guys on the Hill, everyone is really nice. Once I made ABC, it was like I was just in."
One table over, her close friend John McCain--nicknamed the "General" for his aggressiveness on the football field--echoes Roberts' sentiments. "All the Jocks and Poms party together, and everyone cares what we think about stuff. It may be unfair, but that just the way Washington is."
But down the Hill, deep in a basement cafeteria, the tables are Formica, the eyeglasses are thick, the ties are clip-ons, and the hair isn't quite coiffed. Here's where you'll find the Badgers, who are--and there's no nice way to say this--Washington's losers. "We have nothing against the Hillies," says Jacklyn, a GS-11, as she taps her ubiquitous identity badge nervously on the table. "But they have something against us. One day they pass a law that says raise seed-corn allowances. The next day they pass a law that says lower seed-corn allowances. Then, no matter what we do, they make fun of us and call us names like 'bureaucrats' and 'paper pushers.' It's not fair. It really hurts."
Never have such social divides seemed so unbridgeable--and so alarming--as they have since the tragedy last month at Columbine High School. Littleton has focused the public's attention on just how bewildering and even dangerous this maze of social hierarchy can be. Americans are realizing that our schools are fraught, filled with feuding social groups and organized according to unforgiving Darwinian principles. Beneath the gleaming surface of winners is a seething mass--the anti-social, the alienated, and the exploited.
Consider Washington High, a wealthy, self-important institution inside the Beltway. It's like any high school anywhere in the United States. A few days' wandering its marble halls reveals homogeneity on the surface--where did they find so many identical dark suits?--but alarming divisions below.
"After Littleton, I immediately thought of Washington," says pompom squad co-captain Timmy Russert. "We have outcasts like the Badgers and the Wingers. A lot of the victims in Colorado were in popular groups. I'm kind of scared that popular groups here might get targeted."
"Washington isn't immune to the pressures that have spoiled the rest of America," says longtime Washington High civics teacher Robert Strauss--"Old Mr. Strauss," as everyone calls him. "Of course everything was better 40 years ago, when youngsters listened to their elders and helped each other out."
Washington High, like Columbine, has an absolute social hierarchy. The apex of the pyramid--a world away from the lowly Badgers--is student body president Bill Clinton, a fun-loving kid who transferred to Washington just a few years ago. He and his sidekicks, especially Al Gore and Bobby Rubin (treasurer, math whiz, and "Most Likely to Succeed"), mix easily with almost everyone. (Because they hang out smoking and whistling at girls behind the school's white administration building, they're called White Housers.)
Besides the White Housers, the two other leading cliques are the Jocks and the Poms, who have a friendly rivalry about which group is more important. The Jocks--aka the Players--include "General" McCain and "Leader" Trent Lott. They're stars on the field in the only sport that matters in Washington, political football. They lay down the social law. "We rule!" shouts Lott, gleefully. The Poms, by contrast, are Washington's cheerleaders. They tell everyone else about what the Jocks have done and why: "Everyone knows who we are," gloats Billy Kristol.
There are two challengers to these top dogs. One is the Band, sometimes called the House Republicans. They play and talk in unison. The leaders of the Band socialize with the Jocks--before he was expelled last year, Band leader Newton Gingrich briefly challenged Clinton for Most Popular--but rank-and-file Bandits detest the Jocks and Poms. Gingrich has been replaced as Band leader by percussionist Tommy DeLay. (DeLay also calls himself a Goth, in honor of his historical heroes.)

Oh what a Monday. Back to work after a week and a day of vacation. And to top it off a friend needed a lift to the airport so I was up about 4:15 this morning. Got in to work at 6:30 and have been hard at it playing catch up. Luckily I seem to have done a good job preparing before I left since catch up is not going to bad.
So the diving was awesome on the trip. Grand Cayman was a little disappointing, in the sea life we saw, but I got to witness my daughter�s double fist pump when she finally figured out how to clear her ears and descend without problem and make it to the 20 foot mark. That is an impressive sight, a 10 year old doing a double fist pump under water. Shopping on Grand Cayman was an even bigger disappointment. I am not sure I have ever been into a store where no one came up to me to try to sell me something or even greeted me. I felt like I was doing them a favor by walking in. Then again maybe they could tell I didn�t really have much interest in buying $1000 watches.
Cozumel was a much better location for sea life. We got to see an eagle ray with about a 4.5� wide wings span. A small sting ray. A pretty big sea horse and a few small eel. Along with the normal colorful reef fish. But the best part of that was diving with my oldest daughter. She was pretty nervous about her ears, but had no trouble whatsoever and loved it. One highlight from Cozumel was the youngest snorkeling after we finished. She was checking out and watching a huge school of minnows. Katy, my oldest went in to cool off and came back and said Kristy had swam into the school and broke it into 2 groups and felt bad for splitting them up, so she was trying to herd them back together. Shopping was much better in Cozumel. Which I figured it would be. I scored a nice pair of Oakley sunglasses for pretty amazingly cheap. They even look legit. Lol
All in all it was a great trip. And then I went diving on Sunday in a local quarry. A little cooler and water not near as clear, but sort of like people say about golf, a bad day diving is better than a good day at work.
But now it is back to work. I promise pictures are coming. Lol I need to get on that.
Now, I need to get out of vacation mode eating and back on the exercise track. So, back to tracking it all!

Member Comments About This Blog Post:
I highly recommend a discover scuba class instead of the snorkeling. It will get you some basic instruction and an instructor is with you the whole time. My girls did it and loved it, plus it counts as part of the certification if you are interested in pursuing that. I am certified but it worked well for my daughters to give them a taste of what it is like and why it is sooo neat.

I snorkeled for the first time last week while on vacation in the Fl Keys. I loved it! It was absolutely amazing. I can only imagine that diving is even better. I re-joined the work world today too, ugghhh. There is one positive about that though, I tend to stay on track much better with my diet and exercise when I am in the work world grind. Now it is time to work for the next vacation that will definitely include a snorkeling adventure.

Sounds like an awesome trip! And woo hoo for your girls and figuring out how to make it work for them!

Dried blueberries. Soak for 12hrs in water then eat the fruit. best laxative ever, use daily.
Delicious dried blueberries free of any additives or preservatives.
Posted by Leione on Jun 27, 2015
Not only are these blueberries delicious, free of any additives, preservatives or sugar, and make a great healthy snack, but also they're loaded with health benefits. Rich in vitamins C, K, A, E, B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B6, folate, pantothenic acid), manganese, copper, pota ssium, iron, magnesium, zinc, dietary fiber, tannins, antioxidants, and flavonoids, they're great for treating colds, flu, fever, vitamin C deficiencies, morning sickness, nausea, stomach spasms, gastritis, ulcers, IBS, colitis, diarrhea, constipation, gallstones and gallbladder disease, lower urinary tract and kidney disorders, liver disease, fluid retention, gout, sciatica, diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, cardiovascular conditions, heart disease, headaches, gluten intolerance and celiac disease, menstrual cramps, arthritis, osteoporosis, rheumatism, asthma, gingivitis, canker sores and gum disease, acne, sunburn, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, insomnia, and even cancer. Blueberries are a powerful immunostimulant and healing agent boosting the immune system, flushing toxins out of the body, aiding digestion, preventing heartburn and acid reflux, relieving nausea and bloating, healing gastric ulcers, soothing the stomach lining, reducing colon inflammation, facilitating healing, increasing blood flow in the limbs, helping stabilize blood sugar and regulate insulin levels, normalizing blood pressure, lowering triglycerides and LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels while increasing HDL or "good" cholesterol, protecting against strokes, atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease, improving brain function, stimulating the activity of the body's antioxidant enzymes and neutralizing free radicals, soothing and healing dry and damaged skin, and even reducing the risk of cancer. A blueberry mask or scrub can be applied topically to heal wounds, scars, bruises, cuts, burns, rashes and acne-affected areas of your skin. It improves the complexion, brightens and evens out skin tone, reduces redness, spots, blotchiness and small lines, helps break down old scar tissue, stimulates cell renewal and regeneration, and prevents premature aging. I love this product and would recommend it to anyone looking for a healthy snack to boost their immune system and improve their overall health and well-being.

Very tasty and healthy product. I eat it when I get hungry in the evening or between meals. A small portion makes you feeling full.
Perfect Berries, but small bag!

The blueberries are great in recipes that call for raisins or otherwise, but the price is steep for such a small bag.
a bit too dry

I was disappointed with these, not the most flavorful, and rather dry and hard. Better after adding a bit of bread to the bag, for a couple of days, to increase the moisture. Other brands I've tried had more flavor, and were moist and easy to chew. I found these a bit difficult to chew.

Ray Bradbury is a modern cultural treasure. His disarming simplicity of style underlies a towering body of work unmatched in metaphorical power by any other American storyteller. And here are thirty-two of his most famous tales-prime examples of the poignant and mysterious poetry that Bradbury uniquely uncovers in the depths of the human soul, the otherwordly portraits that spring from the canvas of one of the century's great men of imagination. From a lonely coastal lighthouse to a sixty-million-year-old safari, from the pouring rain of Venus to the ominous silence of a murder scene, Ray Bradbury is our sure-handed guide not only to surprising and outrageous manifestations of the future but also to the wonders of the present that we could never have imagined on our own.Track List for The Golden Apples of the Sun: Disc 1"The Fog Horn"-Track 1"The April Witch"-Track 8"The Wilderness"-Track 16"The Fruit at the Bottom of the Bowl"-Track 23Disc 2"The Flying Machine"-Track 6"The Murderer"-Track 10"The Golden Kite, the Silver Wind"-Track 17"I See You Never"-Track 21"Embroidery"-Track 24Disc 3"The Big Black and White Game"-Track 1"The Great Wide World Over There"-Track 9"Powerhouse"-Track 18Disc 4"En La Noche"-Track 1"Sun and Shadow"-Track 4"The Meadow"-Track 10"The Garbage Collector"-Track 22Disc 5"The Great Fire"-Track 1"The Golden Apples of the Sun"-Track 6"R Is for Rocket"-Track 12"The End of the Beginning"-Track 24Disc 6"The Rocket"-Track 1"The Rocket Man"-Track 9"A Sound of Thunder"-Track 18Disc 7"The Long Rain"-Track 3"The Exiles"-Track 13"Here There Be Tygers"-Track 24Disc 8"The Strawberry Window"-Track 10"The Dragon"-Track 18"Frost and Fire"-Track 20Disc 10"Uncle Einar"-Track 7"The Time Machine"-Track 14"The Sound of Summer Running"-Track 21.
