Beetlejuice: Love is Not Dead
Chapter Six
After eating their meal the two friends had spent the remainder of the evening watching scary movies and talking. Just like any other night they had spent together in the past. After several hours after the movies were over and the conversation was done, they had called it a night and gone to bed.
It was now the early hours of the morning and Beetlejuice was wide awake. He held onto a sleeping Lydia who was comfortably oblivious to her friend's wakefulness.
The truth was the Ghost with the Most was scared out of his mind, and for the first time in his afterlife he was being forced to face that fear. This time he really didn't have a choice. If he failed to be strong for one moment the girl sleeping next to him would pay the price. Beetlejuice felt sick just thinking about it and he involuntarily shuddered.
Lydia sighed heavily as BJ moved and turned over in the large coffin bed so that she was now facing him, a smile spreading across her full pink lips. The Ghost stiffened for a moment, afraid he had woken her up, but when she continued to sleep he couldn't help but smile as well. 'At least one of us is having a knock out dream,' he thought.
Beetlejuice stayed awake despite the big day ahead of him and eventually the sun began to rise in the Neitherworld; bringing a beautiful pink light into the small room. Lydia looked a-glow with the newly found light and the Ghost thought how stunning she looked, even in sleep.
Beetlejuice carefully untangled himself from her, cautious not to wake her up in the process and looking back at her once more, he left the Road-House.
Doomie was still asleep, his engine gunning now and again, as he snored. Beetlejuice walked over to the car and quickly slid into the driver's seat. "Doomster, time to wake up."
Doomie opened his eyes and yawned and was about to honk his master a greeting when Beetlejuice stopped him by putting a zipper over his large hooded mouth. "SHUSH! Lydia is still sleepin'!" He whispered before he snapped his fingers to relieve poor Doomie of the zipper. "Don't make a peep!" The Ghost warned sternly.
Doomie blushed but did as he was told. But he made a small purr as a way of apology as Beetlejuice nodded to him.
"It's all right Doomie. I just don't want Lydia to know I've left. I need to be back by the time she wakes up, we need ta get going."
Doomie beeped quietly to show that he understood, and immediately drove away from the roadhouse. The car pulled out of the driveway and turned right, starting to go towards town, but Beetlejuice took the wheel in his hands and forced Doomie to turn left instead.
Doomie beeped in confusion and snuffed at his driver, wondering where they were headed. And more importantly, who they were going to visit at this hour of the morning?
Beetlejuice hesitantly knocked on the door that stood in front of him, wishing he hadn't gone on an impulse after-all. The ghost wondered what on earth had possessed him to do something so desperate.
The door was dark green with little flecks of a lighter green mixed into it for texture. It made BJ gag. Only one person in the Neitherworld had a door like this and he was Beetlejuice's absolute opposite in every way.
The door creaked open slowly and a bedraggled Donny Juice stuck his head out.
"Beetlejuice?" He asked, large eyes slightly popping out of his head. "What are you doing here?"
Beetlejuice glared at him, "Are you gonna let me in?"
Donny stepped aside a large grin arising on his tired face. "Sure! Come on in, brother!"
The Ghost with the Most cringed when he called him 'brother' but made no comment. He brushed past him, entering the immaculately clean house. Beetlejuice scrunched up his nose in disgust.
"How can you stand this! There's no garbage, or smelly socks! YUCK!"
"What . . . ? Oh, you don't like it?" Donny asked a look of disappointment crossing his happy face.
"It's clean!" Beetlejuice said in revulsion.
"Mother always said that cleanliness was next to godliness." Donny contradicted.
Beetlejuice rolled his eyes, annoyed, and sat in the nearest chair. "Never mind. I didn't come here for perfection tips. So we can argue about that later."
Donny looked hurt for a moment before he sat down across from his older brother and asked, "What's going on Beetlejuice? It must have been pressing for you to come to me. . . at this hour. What's wrong?"
Beetlejuice looked at Donny and said the hardest thing he had ever had to say.
"I need help."
"With what?" Donny asked kindly.
"I don't know what to do." Beetlejuice laughed without humor, his eyes no longer holding their usual spark.
"It's Lydia." For once he said her full name.
Donny frowned slightly. "I hear you two are getting hitched this afternoon. Did something bad happen?"
"It's a forced marriage, Donny!" BJ spat, complete anger covering his tone like bile; making Donny jump in his seat.
"Lyds agreed to marry me, because it was the only way to save me! And now she's stuck here in the world of the dead forever, with 'me' as her husband." Beetlejuice paused for a moment before he whispered, "I've damned her."
The ghost moaned into his hands, "I can't make her happy Donny! She deserves so much more than I can give her. I can't be the ghost she needs."
Donny listened quietly as his brother broke down and then he answered him calmly. Giving him the best advice he could think of.
"Have you told Miss Lydia what you just told me?"
Beetlejuice shook his head.
"Beetlejuice; if she agreed to this marriage then she must have feelings for you. Otherwise you wouldn't be here talking to me. Would you?"
"But . . .-" Beetlejuice protested.
"No buts, brother. It's been obvious for years that you two love birds, were soul mates. You need to tell her what she means to you."
"Telling Lydia that I have feelings for her doesn't change anything."
"Tell her how you feel." Donny insisted. "You might be surprised at the result."
Beetlejuice sighed in frustration. "I don't know how to to tell her."
Donny smiled at him encouragingly. "You could always propose to her."
"But were already engaged?" Beetlejuice made a face.
"I'm sure she would like to be asked." Donny smiled, "And usually proposing marriage is a sign of everlasting love and devotion. It says that you love her enough to ask her to be your wife."
For the first time since he had arrived, Beetlejuice grinned. He stood up, no longer troubled. His face was no longer solemn and crestfallen. The Ghost was back to his old self; the Top Prankster of the Neitherworld.
Beetlejuice was back.
"Thanks Donny," Beetlejuice said patting his little brother on the back.
"You sure are welcome Beetlejuice! I'm glad to help in any way that I can."
Beetlejuice walked back to the green door, getting ready to leave. Donny followed him out onto the porch and by this time the sun was high in the sky. The morning truly had begun and it was going to be a sunny day, even though it was Halloween.
Donny took in a breath of the crisp air and let it enter his lungs slowly. Today was going to be perfect.
As Beetlejuice hopped into Doomie he called back, "Don't you dare think this means were friends Donny. Nothing has changed between us and it never will."
Donny nodded to him and The Ghost with the Most drove off to return to Lydia before she woke up.
Donny went back inside, smiling to himself.
"Everything has changed brother." Donny Juice thought in awe. "You have a heart now."
As he thought this Donny went off to get ready for Beetlejuice's wedding that would take place in a couple of hours. Excited for his brother. Beetlejuice's future had never looked so promising.

Hi Adam,
Have you blown the dust out of it lately? Especially the Graphic card, Power Supply, & CPU heatsinks?
Adam Simpson5 Dec 31, 2013 7:59 AM
in response to BDAqua
Hello BDAqua, and thanks for your reply.
Interesting you mention dust, as I have been thinking of that, my G5 is not totally covered at the back, where the PCI slots are. I'll open it up and have a look. It'll be great if that resolves it!
Apart from that, I have some updates. I disconnected everything from my G5, just plugged my G5 into a wall socket (previously it was plugged into an extension). Pressed the power on button, first time it started the same way, no chime or light, but the second time it started with the chime and light! Then it kept on starting like this so I had a go at connecting the cinema display back, to see if I could get an occasional video start up.
On the first power up, the light and chime worked, but no video on the display, just black. On the second attempt, the problem returned with no light or chime (or video). I disconnected the display again and powered up, still no chime or light. Could connecting the display be making matters worse?
Next morning, with display disconnected, G5 starts again with chime and light (as if it recovered from display cable infection).
As there was occasionally no light/chime, even with the display disconnected, I'm not sure where the problem is rooted. I read an article saying that I should change my video card, if video only comes on after a few restarts (problem I've had for years prior to these new issues). Could it be that an issue between video card and display, when left unresolved for years, has now begun to affect the general start up of my G5? The article said if I have card model ATY,RV350, I may need to replace it, and that's what I have. I'm wondering if this is the root cause, but I'll have a look at the dust, and maybe try resetting PRAM, NVRAM and PMU.
Thanks for your help.
BDAqua Dec 31, 2013 12:08 PM
in response to Adam Simpson5
Adam, do do the dust first thing.
Might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan, far less if ever without AC power, & can cause strange startup problems...
See which one your G5 has...
Adam Simpson5 Jan 2, 2014 7:39 AM
in response to BDAqua
Hi again BDAqua, I gave my G5 as good a clean as I could yesterday, there was a lot of dust inside. I couldn't reach everything so there was a lot of blowing lol.
Afterwards, I powered up the G5 without the display connected. I had the power light and chime (chime not on every restart though). I also connected my keyboard and noticed that the computer didn't seem to respond to the keyboard, no caps lock lights or eject button working.
I then tried to start up with the display connected. This seemed to knock out the power light on the G5, no start up chimes or video either, just a sort of half-hearted power up sound. Also, after a few minutes, the fans start going crazy!
Okay, so the cleaning hasn't seemed to work. I haven't replaced any batteries ever (bought it in 2005) so I'll give that a go, thanks.
If that fails, would you recommend me trying the video card replacement, or do you think that has nothing to do with start up chimes and lights?
Thanks for bothering to help out!
BDAqua Jan 2, 2014 10:20 AM
in response to Adam Simpson5
Whew, it could easily be the Video card, but sadly it still could be other things too, we might tell more with a new PRAM Battery, at least it's the cheapest option to get anywhere at all, Like if it recognizes the KB on startup, or more reliable startup sound.
PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...
In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.
How to reset the SMU/PMU on a Power Mac G5 (Late 2004) or Power Mac G5 (Late 2005) ...
Earlier G3, G4, G5 models...
Adam Simpson5 Jan 2, 2014 11:21 AM
in response to BDAqua
I've ordered a new battery. My keyboard seems to be having trouble communicating with the G5 (no caps lock light or ejecting tray), so I don't know if I'll be able to do a PRAM reset at the moment. I'll try and if no luck, put in the battery then try again. I'll try the PMU button reset.
Could these resets affect any work that I have stored on the G5 by the way?
I have the mid-2003 G5 I believe (1.6 GHz).
Thanks very much
BDAqua Jan 2, 2014 11:35 AM
in response to Adam Simpson5
It shouldn't be possible for those resets to hurt anything, just do one of the PMU resets though.
I'm hoping the new PRAM Battery might help the KB situation.
Adam Simpson5 Jan 4, 2014 8:00 AM
in response to BDAqua
Hello, I tried the PRAM reset (with the display disconnected). There was no restart. As I suspected, by no caps lock light or ability to eject the tray, I think there is another issue preventing the PRAM reset at the moment, or any keyboard communication with the G5.
I'll write back after trying the PMU reset, but have a feeling they may be more successful after the battery is put in.
Thanks very much
Adam Simpson5 Jan 5, 2014 8:18 AM
in response to BDAqua
Hi, last night I tried the PMU button (with display disconnected) and it started up the same way, no chime or light etc.
I'm hoping that the battery is responsible for preventing all these things. I guess the next step is to wait for the battery and see if there are any improvements. Failing that, then I'll consider getting a new video card. Last resort I'll take it in somewhere.
Thanks for your advice and will post back after the battery.
Adam Simpson5 Jan 10, 2014 10:40 AM
in response to Adam Simpson5
Hello BDAqua,
Yesterday I put in the new PRAM battery, but the problems are still the same - no chime, no power light, no proper start-up sounds or communication between the G5 and keyboard!
I do suspect that my AGP card might have been causing problems with the cinema display, originally, but I don't know if that would explain all the other issues I've been experiencing. I don't want to just go and buy a new AGP card and still have no light, chime etc etc. Have you any other gut feelings about what may be causing this?
This is the article saying I may have to get a new video card:
Thanks for your advice, it might be time to book the Genius Bar now lol
BDAqua Jan 10, 2014 11:08 AM
in response to Adam Simpson5
I doubt the Genius bar will help with a G5, they may not even know what one is, & Apple no longer works on them or has parts.
If we can't figure this out you might find an AASP in your area that'd be willing to look at it...
I forget, is there 1 LED lit on the Logic board when AC is plugged in?
Adam Simpson5 Jan 11, 2014 11:40 AM
in response to BDAqua
I spoke to the Apple phone advisers today, and they told me not to bother bringing it in to the Genius Bar. They gave me some contact details though, but it is starting to look like I might have to buy something new.
Errmm, regarding the LED, do you mean a light you can see from the front or back of the G5 (I assume you don't mean plug it in with the side covers off)? I'll have to check again, but from what I recall, there are no lights. I remember a red light in the optical audio in/out (at the back) before, but not even that comes on anymore. The phone adviser thinks there is a logic board problem, as the keyboard doesn't work either. He said logic board work can be expensive. What do you think? Say there are no lights visible, does that mean it's more serious and looking like it might not be worth the costs to repair?
You also asked about the hard drive spinning up, not sure what you mean, but there are some noises/sounds when I put the power on. Disk Utlity told me the hard drive was fine, just before these problems happened. If the hard drive is okay, can someone take the data which was on it, and transfer it onto an external drive or something?
I'm trying to work out what to do next, without incurring unnecessary expense. Maybe I'll contact some of these AASPs, explain the problem, and see what they say, and estimated costs etc.
Sorry to go on!
Thanks for the advice.
BDAqua Jan 11, 2014 12:58 PM
in response to Adam Simpson5
No lit LED would mostly indicate PSU problems, long shot but reseating & cleaning the PSU to Logic board connectors may help.
Logic Board repair would likely cost more than another, faster G5...
Yes, open the side door to see LED or if you can fell the HDD spinning up.

Hello All. Does anyone recognize this tool, as vintage bike tool, or otherwise? Any Info would be appreciated.
Hello All. Does anyone recognize this tool, as vintage bike tool, or otherwise? Any Info would be appreciated.
dam - dunno what it's called - but that is a definite "all-in-one" - nice tool to have!!!
Welcome to Bike Forums. You might try posting your question in the Bicycle Mechanics forum.
Looks like more of a motorcycle tool, usually supplied in a tool pouch with a few other tools for basic or emergency maintenance (I received something similar with a few of the motorcycles I owned). It is definitely not a specific bicycle tool from a tool company.
I think a tool like that came with my new Raleigh Record circa 1974.
'09 Trek Madone 5.2 Pro
'09 Salsa Fargo
Its a skateboard/rollerSkate tool!! The screw driver part is for Chicago Skate Pivot Bolts. The socket ends are for wheel nuts of different size or (sometimes) the pivot bolt. The wrench part was for the pivot lock nut. See; http://www.planetonwheels.com/store/...nt-Wrench.html
I Thank You Very much my friend! I would have never found it if it was not for (all of you), but (Especially You), on this Excellent Bike Forum Sight!
Thanks for your reply!
I'm still learning how to use this sight, so I think I thanked you in the wrong place! I Thank You so much my friend!
Thank You!

All the World Over: Notes From Alaskaby John Muir
Muir explores into the vast and varied splendors of the natural world in Alaska.
The Cruise of the Corwinby John Muir
This latest addition to the John Muir Library -- our ongoing program to reissue the complete works of the first great conservationist author -- combines adventures in the Arctic North with Muir's perceptions. Founder of the Sierra Club, Muir did more than any other individual to shape the 20th-century conservation movement.
Mountaineering Essaysby John Muir
This volume contains eleven mountaineering essays that include both adventurous narrative, joyful exultation, and descriptive features such as alpine soil beds, ancient and living glaciers, and mountain sculpture. In each, Muir maintains a careful and subtle balance between the physical aspects of ascending and the more symbolic observations of the sublimity of his surroundings.
The Mountains of Californiaby John Muir
A reprint of the Century Co. edition of 1894 with illustrations added from Picturesque California and the region west of the Rockies.
The Mountains of Californiaby John Muir Edward Hoagland
A stirring tribute to one of America's most remote and beautiful places by one of the first modern preservationists This Penguin Classic-Muir's first book-puts a pioneering conservationist's passion for nature in high relief. With a poet's sensitivity and a naturalist's eye, Muir celebrates the Sierra Nevada, which he dedicated his life to saving, and recounts his breathtaking visits to Yosemite Valley, Kings Canyon, Sequoia Groves, and Mount Whiskey. The Mountains of California is an affecting celebration of raw nature by one of its most ardent defenders.
Muir: Nature Writingsby John Muir William Cronon
In a lifetime of exploration, writing, and passionate political activism, John Muir made himself America's most eloquent spokesman for the mystery and majesty of the wilderness. A crucial figure in the creation of our national parks system and a visionary prophet of environmental awareness, he was also a master of natural description who evoked with unique power and intimacy the untrammeled landscapes of the American West. Nature Writings collects his most significant and best-loved works in a single volume. The Story of My Boyhood and Youth (1913) is Muir's account of growing up by the sea in Scotland, of coming to America with his family at age eleven, and of his early fascination with the natural world. My First Summer in the Sierra (1911) is his famous account of the spiritual awakening he experienced when, 1869, he first encountered the mountains and valleys of central California. The Mountains of California (1894) draws on half a lifetime of exploration of the high Sierra country to celebrate and evoke the region's lakes, forests, flowers, and animals in a masterpiece of observation and poetic description. Also included are the widely popular "Stickeen" (1909), Muir's affectionate story of an adventure with a dog in Alaska, and a rich selection of essays - including "Yosemite Glaciers", "God's First Temples", "Snow-Storm on Mount Shasta", "The American Forests", and the late appeal "Save the Redwoods" - highlighting various aspects of his career: his exploration of what became Yosemite and Yellowstone national parks and the Grand Canyon, his successful crusades to preserve the wilderness, his early walking tour to Florida, and the Alaska journey of 1879.
My First Summer in the Sierraby John Muir Mike Davis Herbert W. Gleason
John Muir, a young Scottish immigrant, had not yet become a famed conservationist when he first trekked into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, not long after the Civil War. He was so captivated by what he saw that he decided to devote his life to the glorification and preservation of this magnificent wilderness. My First Summer in the Sierra, whose heart is the diary Muir kept while tending sheep in Yosemite country, enticed thousands of Americans to visit this magical place, and resounds with Muir's regard for the "divine, enduring, unwasteable wealth" of the natural world. A classic of environmental literature, My First Summer in the Sierra continues to inspire readers to seek out such places for themselves and make them their own.From the Trade Paperback edition.
My First Summer in the Sierraby John Muir Scot Miller

This time, Scot Miller takes on the seminal work of John Muir, My First Summer in the Sierra. The book details Muir's first extended trip to the Sierra Nevada in what is now Yosemite National Park, a landscape that entranced him immediately and had a profound effect on his life. The towering waterfalls, natural rock formations, and abundant plant and animal life helped Muir develop his views of the natural world, views that would eventually lead him to push for the creation of the national parks. My First Summer in the Sierra is illustrated with Miller's stunning photographs, showcasing the dramatic landscape of the High Sierra plus John Muir's illustrations from the original edition and several previously unpublished illustrations from his 1911 manuscript. The publication of My First Summer in the Sierra inspired many to journey there, and this newly illustrated anniversary edition will surely inspire many more.

The Story of My Boyhood and Youthby John Muir
John Muir details the "fun and pain" of his boyhood in Scotland, his love for nature, his immigration to America, and the hardships of farm life that put him "to the plough at the age of twelve, when my head reached but a little above the handles."
A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulfby John Muir William Frederic Bade
Taken from Muir's earliest journals, this book records his walk in 1867 from Indiana across Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida to the Gulf Coast. In his distinct and wonderful style, Muir shows us the wilderness, as well as the towns and people, of the South immediately after the Civil War. Foreword by Peter Jenkins.
Travels in Alaskaby John Muir Edward Hoagland
In the late 1800s, John Muir made several trips to the pristine, relatively unexplored territory of Alaska, irresistibly drawn to its awe-inspiring glaciers and its wild menagerie of bears, bald eagles, wolves, and whales. Half-poet and half-geologist, he recorded his experiences and reflections in Travels in Alaska, a work he was in the process of completing at the time of his death in 1914. As Edward Hoagland writes in his Introduction, "A century and a quarter later, we are reading [Muir's] account because there in the glorious fiords . . . he is at our elbow, nudging us along, prompting us to understand that heaven is on earth--is the Earth--and rapture is the sensible response wherever a clear line of sight remains."This Modern Library Paperback Classic includes photographs from the original 1915 edition.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Travels in Alaskaby David Rains Wallace John Muir
This book describes Alaska in the late nineteenth century and Muir's early adventures in an untamed land of glaciers and northern lights.

Jury duty is a critical part of the American justice system, something that should feel like a privilege to the proud, free citizen who's called to serve. But those who've been summoned to King County Superior Court, as I was yesterday, know that such a heady feeling is elusive, to put it mildly. Ten bucks per day compensation--a rate of pay that hasn't changed in half-a-century--and the crappiest wi-fi connection this side of the South Pole don't exactly give you that warm and fuzzy feeling as you wait to be tapped.
If you take our advice, odds are you won't ever have to endure the likes of Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.
My number got called right out of the chute--juror #39 in a pool of 44 that'd be narrowed to 14 (inclusive of alternates). Fortunately, both sides of the case--a civil dispute projected to take two weeks to resolve--were satisfied with the jury's composition before I had to ascend to the box.
I dodged a bullet--luckily, mind you, because I went in unarmed. But thanks to a prominent local trial attorney who agreed to provide his expert insight in exchange for anonymity, you won't have to. Courtesy of this legal eagle (a strong supporter of the jury system who admonished us for our query before supplying advice for sport), we bring you The Daily Weekly's top six tips for how to not get chosen to serve on a jury once you've been lumped into a jury pool:6. Join the ACLU. Says our lawyer: "I am a card-carrying member of the ACLU. While I think that uniquely qualifies me to serve on a jury hearing a criminal matter, on two occasions the King County prosecutor's office used their preemptory challenges to excuse me from the jury, I suspect because of my membership in the ACLU. I think the prosecutor's perception, albeit mistaken, is that ACLU members are sympathetic to criminal defendants and won't follow the law. I don't think that's true, but it doesn't seem to stop them from bouncing ACLU members out of the jury pool."
5. Know (or pretend to know) somebody who's got something to do with the case. "Early on, the judge will ask jurors if they know any of the parties, the potential witnesses, the lawyers or the court and staff. One's familiarity with the parties or witnesses [could give] the appearance of bias, which everyone wants to avoid on a jury. It certainly isn't a basis to excuse you for cause, but a lawyer doesn't want someone who is chummy with opposing counsel sitting on the jury."
4. Embark upon a career in the legal profession. "I know an instance in which a recently retired Superior Court judge was called to jury duty and actually was sat on a jury. Obviously this isn't a perfect solution. But you could go to law school, become a lawyer, go to social events at which the King County judges attend, become friends with them and other trial lawyers, and create that appearance of bias."
3. Exhibit an intractable opinion on a topic pertinent to the case. "In some cases there are positions taken or facts stipulated before trial that the jury has to know about. For example, in an unlawful possession of a firearm case, the defendant had to have had some prior conviction that took away his right to possess a firearm. During voire dire (the process by which the lawyers get to ask you questions either to figure out who you are and what your views are, or to manipulate you to adopt their view of the case) the defense counsel discloses that fact and will ask if that affects anyone's views of the defendant at the start of the case, before hearing any evidence. In other words, can you nevertheless have an open mind about this defendant if you know that he has already been convicted of a crime before? A young man sitting next to me in the jury box during voire dire said, 'Well, I'm sorry, I just can't see past that.' I believed he was play acting. The defense counsel and the judge hammered on him about his ability to have an open mind, and the guy would never concede that he wasn't completely biased. The judge reluctantly bounced him for cause at the defense counsel's request. I say reluctantly because one narrow-minded moron who gets away with this just schools the rest of the jury pool in how to get out of jury duty. So, one way to get off the jury is to express an inability to over look some bias and prejudice, show how utterly narrow-minded you are, refuse to consider the evidence. You may get kicked off for cause, or one of the lawyers will bounce you with a preemptory."
2. Move to Port Roberts and open an ice cream store. "In a federal case a few years ago in the Western District of Washington, the judge asked if serving on a month-long jury trial would be a hardship for anyone. One of the jurors was from Port Roberts, that little peninsula of land that is part of the US but is completely land locked by Canada. Its part of Whatcom County and is within the Western District of Washington. The juror owned an ice cream store in Port Roberts, and this was early May, the beginning of the tourist season there. To get to the courthouse she had to drive into Canada, through customs and border control, then into the US through the Peace Arch crossing at Blaine--then drive to Seattle, where the federal court is located. She obviously couldn't commute back and forth each day during the trial; the federal government would have to put her up in a hotel. She had high school kids running her ice cream store during her absence, and claimed hardship, because no adult would be watching the store. Believe it or not, the judge excused her, which probably saved her from a month in a second rate hotel."
1. Plan a trip to begin the Saturday after your first day of jury duty. "In King County people are called to serve beginning on Mondays and Wednesdays. You serve two days or [one] trial and then are excused. So if you aren't called in the first two days, you are done. But if on your first day you are selected for a jury pool for case that may last 8 weeks, you might be stuck for 8 weeks. This is how you ensure you don't serve longer than the two day minimum: If you plan a trip, claim it has been long planned, actually buy the airline tickets, have them in your pocket to show the judge, and make reservations for a hotel and rental car. Have the confirmations for those with you too. When the judge asks during the early phase of the voire dire if there is any reason you can't serve on the jury for the next 8 weeks, raise your hand and tell her that you have a long-planned trip and that you've already spent the money on the tickets and hotel. No judge will make you cancel that trip. Of course, if you then go home and cancel the trip secure in the knowledge that you weaseled your way out of jury duty, you'd better not accidentally run into the judge at the mall-- because, believe me, she will remember you and may have you arrested. And [at that point], you will want to make sure that there are smart, able people on your jury."

Amidst the estimated 5,000 people who attended a Valentine's Day rally at the state Capitol last week in support of stricter gun control stood Ginna Ortiz with a sign carrying the word: "Enough."
As the debate over gun control continues, here are some statistics that should concern all of us, even a few card carrying members of the National Rifle Association.
There is only one country in the developed world that doesn't license gun owners, the United States.
There are only three countries that do not register all guns, the United States, Canada and New Zealand. But Canada and New Zealand do register handguns and military-style automatic weapons; they exempt rifles and shotguns. That leaves the United States alone in not registering guns of any kind.
The United States has a population of 313,914,000, not counting those added this year, and about 270 million guns or not quite 89 firearms per 100 people of all ages. No other country comes close. India is second with about 46 million guns, four for every 100 people.
When you subtract the children, the elderly, the infirm, the incarcerated and others not likely to possess firearms, the 89 per 100 population figure would increase to well over 100 guns per 100 people. There's more�
The United States has 4.5 percent of the world's population and about 40 percent of its firearms. This does not include the firearms in the hands of its military forces, the world's largest.
The U.S. death rate by firearms - homicides, suicides and accidents - was 10.2 per 100,000 deaths in 2009, the last available year for worldwide comparisons. Finland was second at 4.47 per 100,000 and the United Kingdom, with the kind of gun control that renders the NRA apoplectic, is well under one death at 0.25 per 100,000 British deaths. These statistics come mainly from the U.S. and other governments, from universities and the United Nations and its World Health Organization.
True, governments, universities and the United Nations are not quite trusted by the NRA, conspiracy theorists and gun zealots of various species, but that's their problem, not ours.
The numbers are sufficiently discouraging to support fears that even with the strictest new gun legislation, this nation is going to continue to have too many guns. But that doesn't mean we have to remain the only nation that doesn't license gun owners. We don't have to be the only civilized nation in the world that doesn't register handguns and military-style weapons.
If we can't stop ourselves from drowning in guns as a nation, our Congress can reduce the violence they reap by banning weapons designed for the military and multi-shot magazines meant to be used on an enemy, not six-year-olds.
At the very least, we can keep track of them. We have been registering cars and licensing drivers for nearly a century and no one has ever raised a bogus fear about the government using the documents to confiscate cars or round up drivers. And no one doubts that licensing and registration make it easier to track down drivers who break the law with their cars.
We can do the same thing here by following the example of the rest of the civilized world - by licensing gun owners and registering their guns. We can also conduct background checks of those buying guns at gun shows, where upwards of 40 percent of all sales are conducted.
Connecticut can and hopefully will do more, like banning the military-type assault weapons and the magazines used in Newtown, but if the nation fails to achieve at least some modest licensing, registration and gun sale reforms, the NRA can disband.
Its work will be done.

Special previews and screenings of the films are being shown at the film festival to potential buyers.
Two films inspired by the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 are being touted to buyers at the Cannes Film Festival, barely two months after the plane vanished with 239 people on board.
Potential buyers will get a sneak preview of A Dark Reflection by Fact Not Fiction Films at a "screening" today, according to a full page advertisement in industry trade journal The Hollywood Reporter.
What Happened On Flight 313? reads the advertisement which appeared last weekend and shows a woman silhouetted at the end of a runway. The runway lights glow behind her while overhead a passenger jet looms in the darkness lit by two harsh white lights.
Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared on March 8. (On the A Dark Reflection official website, the director's note states that the project began in January 2013.)
Meanwhile, a half-page advertisement in the The Hollywood Reporter's Cannes edition last week publicised another similar film.
The advertisement for The Vanishing Act featured a plane rising out of the clouds under the caption "The untold story of the missing Malaysian plane".
A 90-second teaser trailer showing terrified passengers and a gun being brandished was shot over six days in Bombay, Variety said in a report.
It is being promoted by Indian film director Rupesh Paul, the man behind erotic movie Kamasutra 3D, and was presented to buyers in Cannes on Saturday.
Paul, who denied the film was insensitive so soon after the disappearance, said he began work on the project after being contacted by a Malaysian journalist who said he had a theory about what had happened.
He then spent 20 days working on a screenplay using the journalist's idea for the ending, the report added. The filmmaker said he was confident he could make the movie work even if the wreckage of the plane was found.
People had suggested to him that his investment would be wasted if the plane was found and the explanation put forward by his film turned out to be incorrect, he said.
"That's the biggest challenge I'm facing ... Everyone in the world, they want to know what happened," he was quoted as saying.
In addition to being the world's biggest film festival, Cannes is also a huge film market and each year attracts over 10,000 buyers and sellers from around the world.
It was not known whether the "screening" of A Dark Reflection would be of a full or part-completed film, or another trailer.
MH370 has been missing ever since it mysteriously diverted from its Kuala Lumpur-Beijing route in March. It is believed to have crashed into the sea far off Australia's west coast.
Australia, which is leading the hunt in the ocean far off its west coast, has said it believes it is looking in the right area based on satellite communications from the plane. — AFP

One dictionary definition for immersion is "involve deeply." That describes the experience for the 10 of us from Emanuel Lutheran Church, Manchester, Conn., who last year visited the Lutheran Center in Mexico City. For eight days we were "involved deeply" in study, discussion, prayer and another culture.
But some friends who weren't going asked, "Why can't you do that here?" Even when I described what we were going to be "involved deeply" with—poverty, globalization, militarism, free-trade—the response was the same.
Why? I've thought since I've been home. Why was the trip something that was irreplaceable, unique and unable to be duplicated here?
First, the stories. I heard about Salvadoran refugees whose relatives had been assassinated by the military. I met Mexican mothers who'd lived with their families on squatter land for decades, displaced by urban sprawl. I listened as a man described how his neighbor drowned in the Rio Grande, attempting to swim across in search of a job and better future. I learned from a political science professor how U.S. companies market goods like soft drinks that use up clean water supplies even as they add sugar to the diet of Mexicans, one-third of whom already have diabetes.
I wonder why I haven't heard such stories here in the U.S. The media make decisions about whose stories are included—or excluded? Stories like these trigger our despair so we prefer silence? Possible explanations go on and on. Here's another: We don't hear them because they're transformative?
That last, I know, is true. We who traveled together have changed. After listening to these stories, change for us was inevitable. And hard. It means that a part of us dies and isn't ever the same again. In the hearing, in the listening, we are transformed ... reborn.
Perhaps these Mexican sisters and brothers understood that in telling their stories—of struggles with justice; of challenges to find water, food and work; of loss—we who listened were affected, profoundly affected. Perhaps we who listened knew, too, that we'd never be the same again. And that was redemptive for them and for us.
M. Scott Peck in The Road Less Traveled wrote: "If your goal is to avoid pain and escape suffering, I would not advise you to seek higher levels of consciousness or spiritual evolution." I would add: Do not go to the Lutheran Center in Mexico City for an immersion program.
For us Lutherans, living in the power of our baptism means dying and rising each day with Christ. Part of me died in Mexico City. A part died that is afraid to embrace the truth about the world around me and my role in that reality. Another part died that thought I'm like most people in the world, rather than one of the 20 percent who consume 80 percent of the world's wealth. Another part died that believed I could do nothing to make a difference in the world.
My new life, my life after I "got immersion" in Mexico City, is a resurrected life. It is the life promised us when we die with Christ.

Browns WR Gordon misses practice with sore knee
BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon was held out of practice again because of tendinitis in his knee.
Gordon worked with a trainer on the side while his teammates went through a 2 ½-hour workout Wednesday, the sixth day of training camp. Gordon was in uniform but without his helmet. He wore a floppy wide-brimmed hat as he stretched, rode a stationary bike and did other conditioning drills.
On Monday, Gordon was pulled out of the full-team scrimmage because of soreness in his knee.
Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said Gordon did not undergo an MRI and he expects the second-year wideout to be back on the field in the next few days.

People tend to check in during these times:
In the left corner at the very back by the windows there are 2 power outlets. Sit at the 2 person table next to service door.
Get the Lips of Faith if they have it on tap.
The fattest of tires
Both the sliders and the brat are very good! Great house Dijon mustard as well!
The chili is super tasty. The bartender says that it's homemade, and that there is beer in it!
Found a piece of glass in my mouth half way through my drink!!!
Stay away from the breakfast burrito. Free hotel breakfasts have better potatoes.
Nice little bar!! Gentleman Jack is going down so smooth!!
Skip the burger but never skip the Fat Tire.
Good beer and food.
The chicken and waffles are AWESOME!
I have stopped here in the past, but after finding out about New Belgium's anti-oil and gas position and their ignorance about fracing I just can't give them my business.
The "low-carb" bowl is mostly white rice. Um... Okay. Just stick with the beer and you'll be fine.
Very slow service!
Make sure you know where the nearest tornado shelter (bathroom is.) this airport is also deceptively large. Make sure you have enough time to make your connection.
The Hub is offering a selection of award-winning micro brews, as well as a small menu of tasty sandwiches and entrees and the kitchen is open until 9:30, later than most other places at the airport.
It's mediocre bar food with awesome New Belgium beer. The fries are just about the best food on the menu.
Really disappointing. All tables were dirty, service was very slow.
Get a signature recipe, like their chili. The turkey club leaves much to be desired. They should hire a chef that can create better recipes for them. Their beer is great, why not the food too?
Absolutely horrible food. Beer and condiments are fine.
This is a nice place 2 go 2 & have a cold beer.
$9 wraps definitely not worth the price. Normal tasting wrap nothing special.
Try the chicken sliders. They are amazing. Ranger IPA goes well with them.
Onion soup was good and the trippel (bottle) is excellent
Nachos are bomb
Probably the worst burger I've ever had. Pre-packaged, frozen food with no flavor. Really yucky :-(
Get the red eye bloody mary with 1554 and add the beer add you drink the mary. So yummy :)
Most abrasive bartender ever. Also, Fat Tire is cheaper on draft at the Mexican restaurant on the upper level.
Mango salsa
Be prepared to be ushered in like sheep and seven minutes will last forever
Get the hub Club. Delicious. Also, this lady bartender makes a pretty legit bloody mary.
Get something from the Lips of Faith series.
Great breakfast, very fast service...nice place to spend a layover
Great place to eat and have a beer on your layover. I recommend sitting at the bar super quick and friendly service. Remember tip your bartender right!
admit that I'm the best skier who drinks and eats here
Cold BEER!
Ask for vegetarian nachos w/ mushrooms and tomatoes. Good beer & Great service
Great beer of course. Stick with the basics on food. We had chili (good) and a chicken quesadilla (fine). Service was good too.
Try the Winter Seasonal...!
4 beers on tap including Coors. Do yourself a favor and go to Hub in concourse B, you'll be glad you did.
Buffalo burger as dry and flavorful as a rice cake
Ignore the 2 degrees seasonal on the menu. They're not brewing it this year.
Best little airport bar on the planet! Ranger IPA rocks my socks off! Fish and chips good for airport grub.
Head to gate B80 for a pint of Colorado's finest.
Don't expect too much quality.
Get the sweet potato fries. Just do it.
Belgo: Belgian Style IPA
The 1554 black ale is fantastic!
Grab and go food from the cooler is delicious and about half the price of the seated menu.

Where: Whole Foods' Smokehouse Grill (In>"/>
How should you be spending the $13 a week Obama supposedly put in your pocket? Voracious has some ideas.

Where:Whole Foods' Smokehouse Grill (In the back by the fish and meat counters).
What Does $13 Get Ya? That depends on how hungry you are. You can choose anything from the fish or meat departments and they'll toss it on the grill at the per-pound price. Through June 23, Whole Foods has their NY Strip Steaks at $9.99 per pound (normally $14.99). On my first visit I got an 8-ounce strip ($5) with two sides provided by the grill: a side salad and caramelized onions ($2.99 for two sides), putting my glorious meal at all of $8. A hungrier diner could pull down a full pound of steak and remain true to the $13 theme of this column.
Worth It? Without question.
Steak is such a misunderstood lunch meat. Lemme toss this out atcha: You know those processed deli meats that mom used to throw on our sammys in elementary school? They're still around. They're pre-packaged and hang on the walls of your local Safeway. Take a look at the per-pound price on those suckers one of these days. I recently saw ham for $13.99 per pound. You wouldn't think about it when you're -- or, hopefully not -- pulling them off the shelf, but you're paying more per pound for that sandwich meat than I did yesterday for a fresh NY strip steak at Whole Paycheck. Yes, I found one hell of a deal at the most expensive grocery store. Go figure.
This situation isn't anything new. Well, it kind of is for me. Until a year ago I had no idea that such a magical grill exists at the back of the store (I'm talking about the one on the SLUT route). Since discovering it, I've made a habit of visiting as often as I can, and I've completely passed on their massive selection of prepared foods up front. But, until last week, I'd stuck to sausages and other comparably low-grade offerings from the meat department. Then it finally dawned on me that for the price of a salad at Specialty's, I can have the best steak lunch my budget can buy. At this price, their competition is Jack in the Box.
Obviously you're not getting the steakhouse experience here (if you were you wouldn't be getting change back from your $10. Note: They only take credit/debit at the grill.). But, you do get a real napkin. And the steak is worth every dollar. It can take a while if you're behind a group, and it sometimes appears that the staff spends more time changing latex gloves than doing any actual cooking. But, catch the long hair when he's in the zone back there and you won't be waiting long.
Considering the state of the economy and the fact that Pres. Obama's giving most of us an extra $13 a week this summer, we decided it was time to fire back up our weekly series on the best ways to eat and drink for around $13. Please feel free to send me your suggestions.

You have a fair point about my nostalgia glasses, at least when it comes to Pokemon designs. That might just be it, even though some of Gen V's stink. But the idea of a living trash bag is just... no. No way.
And hmm... maybe Casteliacones ARE based upon the Vanillish line...
Yeah, that's obvious
And I happen to like Ditto. It's a very inventive Pokemon given how it can be a copycat. Magikarp was made to be pathetic. Those two are the most defendable of the ones you listed.
As for the plot... D/P didn't impress me at all. I never felt that anything was at stake there. And nobody had like any personality. It was just like everyone was... there. Rowan is the worst of the professors, and the gym leaders were all devoid of personality, except for Fantina, Candice, and Volkner. That seemed to be a step down from Gen III, really. In a lot of ways.
I will keep my opinions, most likely. Nostalgia may be a huge factor in them, but I just don't like some of the designs. They just don't appeal to me. Not that I'm saying all to me. I guess that might just be me.
I also can't decide between numbers and Roman numerals, it seems xD

In the 1980s and 90s, metropolitan club owner Peter Gatien was such an influential taste-maker that he was once dubbed "the king of New York City nightclubs." His crown jewel was Limelight, a midnight haven that welcomed thousands of enthusiastic patrons — celebrities, drag queens, dancers — and blasted innovative electronic tunes until sunrise. All walks of life were welcome in the Studio 54 of the 1990s, until Mayor Rudolph Guliani's crime crackdown descended onto Gatien. His clubs were raided, he was arrested on tax evasion charges and deported to Canada.
The new documentary 'Limelight' premiering in New York this weekend looks at a version of the city that thrived under his influence, and went hand-in-hand with the birth of ecstasy culture in the 90s. Who better to tackle Peter Gatien's controversial career than his own daughter?
Moviefone spoke 'Limelight' producer Jen Gatien about depicting the troubles that arise when your own family in a tough documentary, as well the changing landscape of NYC in film.
You're producing a movie… about your dad. How did that happen?
Initially it was to be a feature film, and I had worked on launching it that way. We went down that road and into development hell, as it's known, so it didn't really go anywhere. In the meantime, I pursued my own projects and got some of my own films produced. Now that we're fifteen years away from my father's indictment, I thought if there was a time to look at the nineties, it's nice to do it with some years in between.
So I conceived of the project and knew I needed to find a director that was appropriate for the subject matter. After seeing 'Cocaine Cowboys' I thought that Billy Corben was the best match, topic wise. I liked how he used the city to form the story of cocaine smuggling, and how cocaine built Miami. I wanted to look at how ecstasy was a decade defining drug, and how it's so synonymous with the nineties.
Considering everything that's happened to your father, what was the working relationship like during the production?
My father managed people, he's always been the boss of people. There's a power reversal here, and not that I'm power tripping, but Billy Corben, as a director, doesn't answer to anybody. I don't know that my father's ever had to deal with that sort of dynamic before. And for him, I think it's been incredibly difficult to accept that he can't control how he's portrayed.
It was an opportunity to set the record straight from his point of view. But it's very balanced because we speak to the other people that were involved. And they should get their version of events. I think when people leave the movie, they're going to feel one way or the other. Was it Giuliani's campaign to clean the city? Did we suffer at all through that, or was it all good? By cleaning up New York City, what did we lose?
What other recent projects do you think have accurately captured the flavor of New York City right now?
I keep going back to Abel Ferrara because I love him and I know just how much of an iconic New Yorker he is; he gets into parts of New York that other people can't penetrate.
Off the top of my head, I'm trying to think of what I've seen; that's probably a testament to what New York is about now. Has it been so gentrified and commercialized that the city isn't the character it once was in previous decades in film? I have to say, that's probably what it is.
Even Woody Allen has been pushed out.
He's like, "Dude, take me to Paris, there's nothing to do here!" There's no grit, there's no underbelly. It's sanitized in many ways; New York is feeling interchangeable to other generic American cities.
You were in your twenties when this boom happened and when your father was involved with it; how involved were you in the club culture?
I wasn't emergent in the culture. I had an appreciation for the culture, but I had a very strong sense of a different life from that of my father's. I guess it's kind of the way I rebelled — by not doing what he did. Instead I was very academic and went to Trinity, which is a very rigorous, academic program, and later went to Columbia. So while I would go to clubs, it didn't define who I was in a any way.
When you did go, how did you perceive that world? Did it overwhelm you, excite you, freak you out?
I thought it was so killer to go into a place with 4,000 people of every walk of life and be under the same roof and come into contact with people that I would otherwise never meet. This was also a pre-paparazzi and pre-cellphone-camera age. So even being a nightclub owner's daughter, I was pretty anonymous. There were celebrities but everyone blended it. It wasn't really that relevant who you were in any way, it was just sort of about the energy of being, you know, hearing DJs spin and drag queens and an art performance and it was just a lot of stimulae.
For the audience that is totally alien to the scene, what aspects do you hope they connect with?
I never intended this film to be a love letter to 'Limelight.' This film for me, was a statement of our federal justice system and I also wanted to expose how cooperation agreements work and how the government will give you a pass on the crimes you've committed if you're willing to take down somebody else.
I don't think people realize what's involved in that. In my father's case, there were people that had not been convicted — for murders, drug dealing, not paying their taxes, assault, impersonating an office, kidnapping, bank robberies.. Those people were all given a walk on any of those crimes provided they were willing to point the finger at my father. It said something really disturbing on the lengths to which the federal government will go if they want to get somebody.
When you look at the depiction of club and drug culture in movies, do you think it's glamorized?
I've yet to see a film that can capture the energy and the feeling. The only film I think did it really well was 'Babel.' I feel like there's that sense, in the Japanese segment when she walks into the club and you can't even hear the audio, but you just see the stimulae, and then sense of all the things going on around her. The intensity of that, it's the only film that comes to mind, they nailed it. Every other film has been pretty pathetic.
[Laughs] Yeah.
Then what do you think about both the documentary and then the feature version, of 'Party Monster,' especially because that story is so connected to your father's history?
I looked at those projects as something that tackled the subset of nightclub culture: club kids. I think in that sense, it's a successful film,. What I feel is very different about 'Limelight', is that it's more of a socio-political crime thriller with a mixture of cultural significance of club culture, but it's not devoted to club kids in any way, shape, or form.
With Limelight and the club scene in the nineties, even if you weren't a part of it, you could recognize what it was. Do you think that youth, college and post-college, have something like that now to gravitate to?
I think that for this generation, everything is so demystified for them. There's no secrets with Twitter and Facebook. People go to a club and they can Tweet and say, "This place sucks." There's a sharing of information that in many ways has democratized things, but in many other ways has demystified certain rites of passage because they've seen it, or hear about it. They don't experience things as much; they're so into writing or documenting the experience that they lose out in the experience itself.
It's information overload and then it all tastes the same.
If you go to a club now, I feel like everyone's worried about, they're on their cell phones, and they're either taking pictures and posting it, or they're writing about it. There's no more letting those places be an incubator of music and dialogue. In many ways it's just about documenting things and it's weird. It's a funny dynamic.
Where do you think people can still discover music and form a community now? As in a physical location that isn't just file sharing?
I'm sure that there are little spots, but the electronica movement is alive and well, it's just different. It's a roving party, they do it in terms of a one time event. There was a time in New York when it was not so one-time aspect driven; it was every Friday night. You could go and hear something and be part of something that was happening. It's venues have changed, it's concerts. There is no venue in New York.
What other New York stories are you looking to tell?
There's a film called 'Jack and Diane' that captures a certain part of New York that is a seventeen year old's playground, and that was a very different beast than it is today. Getting a fake id, trying to sneak into clubs, you know, hanging out in Washington Square Park. I think those things also take place, these kids just have it differently than I did.

Not quite done in Rockwood, outgoing city recorder Jim Hines has already gotten some temporary work in another city.
He'll be filling in at Harriman, where he was building inspector at one time, while current building inspector Maria Nelson is out for surgery.
Nelson is taking several weeks off for the recovery, and Mayor Chris Mason said she decided to do so without pay or using any sick time.
"I advised her not to, but she is. She recommended we use Jim Hines to fill in for her," Mason said.
The Rockwood Middle School Tigers ran their two-year long winning streak to 37 games over the weekend with a pair of wins at a holiday classic in Murfreesboro.
The Midway Green Wave and Oakdale Eagles completed their season series Friday night and as it turned out, not a lot changed since their first meeting on Nov. 25.
TVA continues to find itself the subject of lawsuits over the Dec. 22, 2008 ash spill.
The most recent was filed Monday by Ladd Landing developer Matt Caldwell of Kingston. Parties to the lawsuit also include businesses and people who own property in the development.
The lawsuit seeks compensatory damages "in an amount that fairly compensates plaintiffs for their various damages and losses, together with interest and costs."
The time has come for the Roane County Board of Education to search for a new director of schools. Board Chairman Sam Cox received a letter from current director Toni McGriff, informing him of her intentions to retire at the end of the fiscal year.
"I want to give the board time to do what they need to do," McGriff said.
The board hired McGriff in 2005. She's received two contract extensions during her tenure, with the most recent coming last March for one year.
District Attorney General Russell Johnson does not plan to prosecute anyone for an audit finding in the Roane County Road Department.
State auditors discovered a road department employee asked a vendor to change the date on an invoice for diesel fuel. By changing the invoice date, the $22,766.24 purchase was inappropriately expensed in the 2011-12 fiscal year on the county's accounting records instead of the 2010-11 year, when the purchase was actually made.
State Rep. Julia Hurley hasn't always agreed with the Roane County Commission.
However, the Lenoir City Republican said she supports the county solons when it comes to the Sunshine Law.
"I think the way that it is right now is fair to the voters," Hurley said. "I think it's fair to the public."

What looked to be a run-of-the-mill reappointment took a strange twist when Kingston Council failed to re-up Celia Simon for another five-year term on the Historic Zoning Commission on Dec. 13.
Harriman officials disagree on whether to proceed with annexing the Emory Gap and Childs Memorial areas.
Councilman J.D. Sampson, who has been pushing for annexation to grow the city and potentially its coffers, believes it's plausible because both these two areas of the county are surrounded by the city limits already.
"I make a motion now to put Emory Gap and Childs Memorial on notice. We're turning it over to the planning commission to draw up a plan of service," Sampson said.
Aisles and check-out lines at Wal-Mart were packed Friday night, Dec. 9, and the next morning after kids and their familes shopped for Christmas with help from Operation REACH. Jessica Ross and Rodney Harback of Operation REACH help fill bags during the shopping extravaganza that Friday, as seen in the second photo. Families were given a budget of approximately $225 to fill carts with anything they wanted or needed, which included groceries as well. The first photo includes Wal-Mart employee Linda Cushman and REACH volunteer Carolyn Neeley helping bag items during the rush.

Lublin international tournament yesterday. Position after 27 moves. White castled Queenside in the opening and then both sides advanced their pawns. It was a race, but then Black made a serious imprecision and that gave the Polish superstar the advantage. Here in the position above, Black is holding on by a thread. White now has the opportunity to put Black away

Campaigning Is Not Governing: Bill Clinton's Rhetorical Presidency
James David Barber has identified three political roles that all presidents must perform: rhetoric, personal relations, and homework. The habitual way of performing these roles is what he terms presidential style. 1 The relative emphases in a president's style reflect not only the president's strengths but also his perceptions about the requirements of effective leadership.
The Clinton presidency is the ultimate example of the rhetorical presidency--a presidency based on a perpetual campaign to obtain the public's support 2 and fed by public opinion polls, focus groups, and public relations memos. No president ever invested more in measuring, and attempting to mold, public opinion. The White House even polled voters on where it was best for the First Family to vacation. This is an administration that spent $18 million on ads in 1995--a nonelection year! 3 And this is an administration that repeatedly interpreted its setbacks, whether in elections or on health care reform, in terms of its failure to communicate 4 rather than in terms of the quality of its initiatives or the strategy for governing. Reflecting his orientation in the White House, Bill Clinton declared that "the role of the President of the United States is message." 5
To understand the first six years of the Clinton presidency, we must explore the president's leadership style and ask whether it was effective for advancing his views. The focus on governing to accomplish goals requires us to answer two cen-

OKC Thunder: Russell Westbrook named Western Conference Player of the Week
Russell Westbrook has been named Western Conference Player of the Week for games played Feb. 4 through Feb. 10, the NBA announced Monday.
Westbrook led the Thunder to a 4-0 record during the week and averaged 21.8 points, three rebounds, six assists and 3.3 steals.
The Thunder defeated Dallas, Golden State and Phoenix twice in the week.
Westbrook garnered national attention for the wrong reasons on Jan. 31, during a game against Memphis. On-court miscommunication with teammate Thabo Sefolosha led to Westrbook being takent out of the game and storming into the tunnel to blow off steam. The outburst overshadowed how well Westbrook played in that game.
This is the first time this season that Westbrook has earned Player of the Week honors. He received the award twice last year.
Miami forward LeBron James won Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors.
Westbrook is averaging 22.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 8.1 assists this season. James, Chris Paul and Gary Payton are the only other players since 1992 to average at least 21 points, eight assists and five rebounds.
