Doomed To Divorce? Wedding Red Flags! (Crazy News Quiz)
by Sheryl Stewart
posted Mar 10 2010 1:09PM
According to
this article in Cosmo
, you can tell if a couple is going to make it by watching them closely while they are planning their wedding. One of the big red flags is if the bride refuses to let the groom choose the wedding cake! According to an expert wedding planner, the groom should be responsible for at least one part of the wedding. A bride that refuses to let him do anything is too controlling and selfish for the marriage to work. Here's an excerpt:
It's true: Brides are almost always more interested in the minutiae of wedding planning than grooms are. But when I encounter a woman who refuses to relinquish any control to her fiancé, it doesn't bode well. I can think of a few instances in which the woman ruled the event with an iron fist and the couple ended up in divorce court a few years later. Basically, they weren't able to make decisions together.
On the flip side, it's a positive sign when a bride takes the time to understand which part of the wedding is most important to her groom and then gives him full say in that area. A couple I worked with years ago — who happen to still be very happily married — serves as an example. He couldn't have cared less about the flowers, color palette, and hors d'oeuvres, but he was completely obsessed with the cake. When it came time for the tasting, the bride said, "Let's get whatever you want." Whether it's the cake, the photographer, the open bar, whatever, a bride who lets her almost-hubby have some say proves she's empathetic, and a guy who wants his taste to count shows he's not aloof — both necessary traits for the relationship to pan out
Do you agree? I let my husband choose our wedding cake because he cared more about it than I did. I also let him pay for it. ;-)
Other red flags to look for include:
The Groom Lets His Mom Call the Shots
The Bride Blows Half the Budget on Her Dress
The Bride Freaks Over the Groom's Bachelor Party

Wildcat! - 466 Cube BuickWritten by on July 11, 2013 Contributors: Johnny Hunkins, Robert McGaffin Making 800-plus horsepower from a 466-cube Buick isn't hard, if you know the secrets—and Mike Philips does!
Big-block Buick engines are known as capable powerplants that produce generous torque at modest rpm. It was a formula that was right on target for smoothly and effortlessly powering the stately, large, and luxurious vehicles from this upscale division of General Motors. The same high-torque approach made for surprising performance when these engines were applied to Buick's notable intermediate GS A-body variants, delivering muscle car performance with a refinement that was a cut above the more raucous competition. Now imagine the potential when any pretense of civility is abandoned, and the quest turns to all-out horsepower. That's just what Mike Philips of Automotive Machine & Performance in Philpot, Kentucky, did when creating the production Buick 455-derived beast featured here.
The engine was built to compete in the Xtreme Street division of our annual AMSOIL Engine Masters Challenge, an engine competition that demands 8,000-rpm dyno pulls and is the realm of exotic all-out competition engines from the ranks of NASCAR and professional drag racing. A production Buick may seem like an unlikely choice for this competitive venue, but Philips had a purpose: "I wanted to show what these Buicks are capable of."
Adding Beef
The build started with a 1974 production 455 Buick block, a foundation not known for its strength. As Philips tells us: "The Buick block has weaknesses that have to be addressed to make it live in an application like this, and it is neither easy nor cheap to do. By the time we get done with a block like this, the costs are up in the range of some entry-level Chevy or Ford aftermarket blocks." The block beefing starts at the bottom, with the massive main girdle from T/A Performance that ties the mains to the pan rails. The girdle sandwiches the OEM main caps, which are machined to mate with the girdle structure, and tied into the assembly with studs.
Moving upward, the lifter valley area is another vulnerability in the Buick block. Philips explains: "The lifter bores will not accept heavy loading and will break, especially if something goes wrong. We tie this area in with a steel reinforcement and then laminate it with multiple layers of epoxy from the top and bottom." As a further step toward block longevity in this extreme application, the block received a full fill in the water jackets. Philips tells us: "The cylinder walls are thin, especially between the cylinders. This block was actually found to be cracked, so a full fill was needed."
As with the block, the crankshaft is also an OEM production unit, and a cast piece at that. While this may seem an unlikely part for a high-rpm race engine, Philips explains, "These stock cranks do not often break, unless they're offset ground to maximum stroke. I did cut the crank to a 2.00-inch pin, but kept the stroke at 3.900 inches. The small journals allowed me to use a set of aluminum rods, and that removed enough weight to let me internally balance the engine. The cast crank is a lot more likely to break with weights bolted on at each end for external balance." The 6.800-inch Manley rods are linked to JE domed pistons with a conventional 1/16-, 1/16-, 3/16-inch ring package, delivering a compression ratio of 14.1:1.
The lubrication system also received extensive modifications to help the engine cope with the intended rpm range. The key player here is a scavenging pump with an external pickup developed by Automotive Machine & Performance. The pump arrangement simplifies the oil path, significantly reducing restriction, and ensuring an ample supply of oil. Internally, the block's oil galleries were modified by enlarging the drillings, and cutting a blended radius at key intersections. As Philips points out, the dyno information reveals nearly constant oil pressure right up to 8,000 rpm.
Power Parts
When discussing the cam and valvetrain, Philips went into detail about the Buick's limitations in an all-out application. "Because of what we have to deal with on the Buick in terms of installed height, valve length, and the spring, you are lucky to get much over 1.850-inch installed height, and the spring diameter is also restricted. On the cam, you have to work around the valvespring limitations, and start there. The spring setup I came up with gave me 210 pounds on the seat and 600 pounds open, and I was limited to .650-inch lift. I specifically selected a cam grind that will work within these spring restrictions, with less aggressive, subtle lobes that wouldn't upset the valvetrain." The cam works in conjunction with T/A Performance solid roller lifters, COMP 3/8-inch pushrods, and 1.6:1 ratio T/A Performance replacement-style shaft-mounted roller rocker arms.
Topping the engine is a set of T/A Performance Track Eliminator heads. These heads feature intake runners that are raised a quarter inch from the stock position, and are fitted with 2.250-/1.750-inch valves. The heads were fully ported by Philips, with epoxy added to help match the port runners to his intake manifold configuration. The heads flowed about 365 cfm on the intake side. Philips went to a steeper-than-standard valve angle when cutting the valve job, looking for more than a flow advantage. "I went to a 50-degree valve seat. With the 50-degree seat you change the way the force acts on the valve when it closes, making it less likely to bounce the valve."
Bridging the gap between the intake ports is a single-plane intake manifold from T/A Performance, though Philips prefers the SPX intake designed for standard port location heads. He says: "We've run the other intake on the dyno, and I find more power with this one. We get these from T/A performance without the CNC work, and match them up to the ports on the heads." As with the cylinder heads, the manifold was treated to full porting, and then topped with a 1,250-cfm Quick Fuel Technology carburetor. Philips was impressed with the capabilities of the large carb: "We put that carb on the engine and within one jet change and three changes to the high-speed bleeds, it was right on. It is a fabulous piece."
At the 2012 AMSOIL Engine Masters Challenge, Philips' Buick definitely stood out amongst the field of purpose-built racing engines. Unlike most of those specialty pieces, the Buick relied upon OEM production architecture throughout. It is no exaggeration to claim that the unusual combination garnered a tremendous amount of attention from the engine builders and spectators at the event. Most claimed to have never even seen a Buick engine achieve the 8,000-plus rpm required at the competition. Confidently, Philips put the Buick through its paces with a minimum of tuning and fuss, and the house was alight with the buzz of seeing the engine handily achieving the required rpm, and more astonishingly, posting output topping the 800hp mark. If Philips set out to showcase the performance potential of the Buick engine, and the capabilities of Automotive Machine & Performance in getting the most out of them, there is little doubt that he walked out of the dyno cell a winner.

The girdle assembly is a precision installation, requiring the main caps be machined to a precise fit, since the girdle completely captures the caps. Philips reports that this setup virtually eliminates bottom end failure.To achieve a high static compression ratio with the moderate cubic inches, Philips went with a set of forged JE domed pistons. The rods are Manley aluminum units, selected to reduce the mass of the internal assembly. The lightweight combination allowed the production Buick 455 crankshaft to be internally balanced, further helping reduce high rpm stress.The scavenging oil pump system by Automotive Machine & Performance is just one of the many lubrication system modifications done to ensure the engine survives at high rpm. Inside the block the oil passages are all massaged for improved oil flow.Further aiding the high-rpm oiling is the custom pan by SRE. The built-in full-width louvered windage tray has proven effective on the track, and Philips remarks that these pans are well built and fit.The lifter valley area is another Buick vulnerability, as the lifter bores can literally blow out under high load stresses. Philips buttresses this area with a steel reinforcement sandwiched between multiple layers of epoxy.A close look at the water passages at the deck of the production Buick block reveals that the jackets are fully filled. Philips relates that the fill braces the thin cylinder walls.The chambers of the T/A Performance Track Eliminator heads were filled with large 2.250-/1.750-inch valves. Philips cut the intake seats to a 50-degree angle, which aids high-speed flow and helps improve stability on closing.As witnessed by the epoxy outline, the ports are substantially enlarged from the as-delivered state. These Track Eliminator heads already feature raised intake runners, but Philips took them up further. Intake flow peaks at approximately 365 cfm.
Looking at the intake port arrangement with the valvetrain in place, the limitation on port width imposed by the stock Buick valvetrain is evident. As can be seen in the ports adjacent to the pushrods, thin wall sleeves are used to gain the maximum cross-sectional area possible.With the Buick layout, the rockers are secured to the heads by a single fastener between each pair of rockers. While this is not the most robust engineering, the heavy-duty hold-down spacers and studs make it work.T/A Performance's SPX intake is actually designed for the standard intake port Street Eliminator head, rather than the raised-runner Track Eliminator. Philips reports that he finds a power gain by modifying this intake rather than the specific intake for the raised-runner head.Topping the highly modified SPX intake is a giant Quick Fuel Technology 1,250-cfm carburetor. Philips relates that despite the moderate displacement of his Buick, the big carb is appropriate given the power and rpm demands on airflow.To light the combustible mixture, Philips relies on all MSD components for the ignition. The Digital 7 box is fully programmable, however for competition the ignition was locked out at 36 degrees.

I am looking for conlicts and dynamics. If there is a random number of big island I try to quickly think up some cultures. And than others and than conflicts. Its like playing chess with a map and name taggs.
When you go and start designing a world to create a map of, how much worldbuilding do you usually partake into it before you feel inspired to design for it?
I ask this because I've been trying to design more lands and just do it to improve on my abilities and probably craft my own unique style. But when I do I always get caught up on "Why am I making this, is this just a blank slate you're creating with random names"
Maybe I'm doing too much worldbuilding recently on my actual medieval/fantasy story to have the ability to partake in the freedom of random mapping.
What do you think? Do you find a bit of worldbuilding important (like cultures, people, races, etc) when you design a world map or can you really just go at it without giving a second thought about it?

I am currently working on a map for someone else's world. If you are looking for a way to get practice without just feeling like you are creating a map of nothing, that might be a good way to go about it. Then it's at least FOR something or someone.
Yeah I've offered my services here and there for people, though those that have got back to me have yet to send me a sketch or detail what they're looking for.If you are looking for a way to get practice without just feeling like you are creating a map of nothing, that might be a good way to go about it
It depends for me. Sometimes I like to create a random area and then as I'm building in the details cultures start to happen as I imagine what the "people" of this area or that would live like. Names are another thing because if you want them to be names of different cultures they need to have their own sound or else you don't have much cohesion within the areas. That can be hard.
When its over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best that you were capable of? If so, the score does not matter. But if you find that you did your best you were capable of, you will find it to your liking. -John Wooden

I don't really think about who lives there whenever I have made a map of a large piece of land. I just try to make it look as good as I can. It doesn't even matter if the names are random. I find that if I manage to make a map that I like to look at then I can think up who lives there later. If I don't like the way it looks I will throw it away and it won't matter who lives there.
Now dungeon maps is the exact opposite. I think of who lives there and design the dungeon around that. The high wizard of Kalor is going to live some place completely different than the warlord of Xar. I let the environment shape the people in a world map and the people shape the map in a building map.
I recently came across a map of the Darkover world and it disturbed me...like so many such maps, it is a flat map with no indication of relative latitudes/longitudes, save for placing snow/ice. There is a North arrow, but making the distribution of some of the features match the supposed planetary axis, or, for that matter, the relative scale of the features (i.e., rivers, plains, ocean) to each other, is disconcerting to me. Hence, I've wanted to put together a class that introduces some of the basic features of the earth as a means to understand how features can best be distributed relative to one another. For example, climate zones, major wind patterns, ocean currents, etc. But to teach the class, I need a blank Mollweide grid...no continent outlines, just the grid, and I've had difficulties finding one. Anyone want to help me on this?
I am working along the lines of Thessilian, most of my work just starts out as a doodling of a landmass and such, and then I refine it a bit more and try to make it better and better.
While I did some commissions for free a while bakc (that can be seen in my sig) I found that while it was a good way to learn new techniques, but often people wanted things that conflicted with what I feel is a natural world (like a continent made from half ice and half tropics and sutch, rivers going upwards because they did not originally think of topography and sutch) that it somehow felt "wrong" not to correct such..
On dungeon maps I do pretty mutch what Thesslian does.. design them with the inhabitants in mind.
it's different for everyone, but it's what you do to feel comfortable... i mean if you feel that you are just placing things for no reason than to just place them.. try starting on the other end.. begin with thinking up a creation myth.. doesn't even need to be true, but a creation myth will give you ideas on how some things are formed... putting a story behind a geographic feature will give it a purpose, while giving it a legend you can use later in your cultures and such...

i haven't settled on a map for the ideas i've been kicking around for several months. i think the factor i gravitate towards in fiction is what ideas are depicted to the audience. being polycultural (or more acultural at this stage) i am constantly intending to relate various foreign concepts to people.
my ultimate goal is to convert the entire population into arcology advocates so i can finally live somewhere really cool

I currently have ZCS 4.5.6 running on Ubuntu LTS and a Debian Etch machine that handles basically everything else. Linking Apache authentication to Zimbra was trivial and Jabber looks like it will be about the same, but Samba seems like it will be interesting.
The documentation in the wiki appears to be based primarily on starting from scratch, where I have ~10 users that access the Samba server and a total of around 20 Zimbra users. I need to know if I can integrate these users without a huge amount of pain. UNIX authentication is not really needed, just Samba so that my users can share the same authentication information for their e-mail and domain logins.

After two days of testimony, the criminal trespassing trial of some Occupy Cincinnati protestors has been continued until Jan. 30 while attorneys on both sides continue to negotiate a possible resolution.
Meanwhile, the Occupy Cincinnati group isn't resting; it will stage an event called "Recharge Weekend" on Saturday and Sunday, designed to boost the morale of participants and devise a more precise, clear agenda for moving forward.
With another round of layoffs hitting The Enquirer and other Gannett newspapers nationwide, time will tell if a separate trend at the media company will occur soon in Cincinnati.
Gannett announced last week that it was pulling the plug on the print editions of two faux alt-weeklies, Metromixin Indianapolis and Noise in Lansing, Mich. Both will maintain an online presence, at least for now.
The move follows the cancellation of Metromix's print edition in Nashville last winter and the end of Velocity as a stand-alone paper in Louisville, which is being folded into The Courier-Journal.
A private, off-campus apartment complex geared toward students and located just blocks away from the University of Cincinnati is facing possible foreclosure.
The Bank of America has filed legal action in the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas against the owner of McMillan Manor, a five-story, 122-unit apartment building that opened in 2006.
The bloodletting in the newsroom at The Enquirer is over, at least for now.
Editor Carolyn Washburn sent an email to the newspaper's editorial staff this morning, announcing the names of 12 people who have decided to accept a voluntary "early retirement" severance deal offered by The Enquirer's parent firm, The Gannett Co.
CityBeat already has reported that political columnist Howard Wilkinson, longtime photographer Michael Keating and Editorial Page Editor Ray Cooklis were among those departing the media company.
Other editorial staffers who are taking the buyout are business reporter Mike Boyer; Features Editor Dave Caudill; news reporter Steve Kemme; Copy Desk Chief Sue Lancaster; Production Manager Greg Noble; Butler/Warren Editor Jim Rohrer; sports copy editor Bill Thompson; Copy Editor Pat Tolzmann; and Copy Editor Tim Vonderbrink.
They join Assistant Managing Editor/Sports Barry Forbis and Deputy Sports Editor Rory Glynn, who announced their resignations in March.
In her email, Washburn wrote that the company will throw a party in its conference room for the departing staffers on April 12.
As one ex-Enquirer reporter said when hearing about the plans, "Some sendoff for those leaving. Washburn is throwing them a 'proper party,' whatever that is, for them on the 20th floor, no doubt in the sterile training room where staffers learn about inane new corporate initiatives. A 'proper party' for the loss of 350-plus years of experience and institutional knowledge would be an employee tavern of choice with an open bar, but what would Washburn know?"
Gannett announced the buyout offer Feb. 9 and gave employees 45 days to decide whether to apply for the deal.
At the close of the offer period, editors reviewed applications and made final decisions; some people who apply for the deal potentially could've been turned down if their position is deemed essential to the newspaper's operation.
Under the deal, newspaper employees who are age 56 or older and have at least 20 years of service with Gannett as of March 31 are eligible. Although executives said 785 employees meet the criteria, the deal only is being offered to 665 employees "due to ongoing operational needs at the company."
As part of reductions mandated by Gannett, The Enquirer has laid off about 150 workers during the past two years. Also, employees have had to take five unpaid furloughs during the past three years.
Gannett recently gave Craig Dubow, its CEO who allegedly left the company due to health reasons, a $37.1 million compensation package. The Columbia Journalism Review examined what Gannett could've bought with that money instead, including paying for the starting salaries of 1,474 staffers at The Indianapolis Star or 310,720 annual subscriptions to The Tallahassee Democrat's website.
Here is the full text of Washburn's email:
From: Washburn, Carolyn
Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2012 8:39 AM
To: CIN-News Users; ohiodaily
Subject: saying thank you to our new retirees
It's official now. In the next couple of weeks we will say thank you and best wishes to these colleagues who have decided to take the company's early retirement offer. The complete group is, in no particular order:
Dave Caudill, Greg Noble, Jim Rohrer, Sue Lancaster, Pat Tolzmann, Tim Vonderbrink, Bill Thompson, Michael Keating, Mike Boyer, Steve Kemme, Howard Wilkinson, Ray Cooklis
Ray will be here until April 27. Greg's last day in the office was a week or so ago, before a furlough and vacation. Everyone else will have their last day next Thursday, April 12.
We will have a proper party in the 20th floor conference room on April 12 at 4pm.
I'll meet with some small groups in the next few days and we'll have a full staff meeting the week of April 16 to talk about what's next, now that we are confirmed on who chose to retire. There is a plan. :)
We will be very sad to say goodbye. But I am happy for these folks who decided this was the right thing for them.
Thanks again to Dave, Greg, JR, Sue, Pat, Tim, Bill, Michael, Mike, Steve, Howard and Ray.
Faced with the choice between job layoffs or a second round of unpaid furloughs for employees, executives at the financially troubled Gannett Co. announced today they were selecting the latter course.
Gannett, the parent firm of The Cincinnati Enquirer, announced a furlough program that will require most non-unionized workers to take at least five days of unpaid leave sometime in April, May or June. The move is expected to save the company about $20 million.
CityBeat has held off on posting the names of some people we've heard have been laid off from The Cincinnati Enquirer pending better verification, but we can now confirm two more departures.
Assistant Business Editor Randy Tucker and Obituaries Writer Rebecca Goodman have left the newspaper's staff. Tucker was a victim of the layoffs; it's unclear whether Goodman was laid off or chose to leave since she recently graduated from law school.
As expected, the ax fell quickly at The Cincinnati Enquirer this week as its parent company demands mass layoffs before year's end.
Another round of layoffs hit Cincinnati's only remaining daily newspaper this afternoon. Various reports indicate between 12 and 20 people were let go at The Enquirer.

Dear Reader,
Today I am going to ask you to support Wikipedia with a donation. This might sound unusual: Why does one of the world's five most popular web properties ask for financial support from its users?
Wikipedia is built differently from almost every other top 50 website. We have a small number of paid staff, just twenty-three. Wikipedia content is free to use by anyone for any purpose. Our annual expenses are less than six million dollars. Wikipedia is run by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, which I founded in 2003.
At its core, Wikipedia is driven by a global community of more than 150,000 volunteers - all dedicated to sharing knowledge freely. Over almost eight years, these volunteers have contributed more than 11 million articles in 265 languages. More than 275 million people come to our website every month to access information, free of charge and free of advertising.
But Wikipedia is more than a website. We share a common cause: Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's our commitment.
Your donation helps us in several ways. Most importantly, you will help us cover the increasing cost of managing global traffic to one of the most popular websites on the Internet. Funds also help us improve the software that runs Wikipedia -- making it easier to search, easier to read, and easier to write for. We are committed to growing the free knowledge movement world-wide, by recruiting new volunteers, and building strategic partnerships with institutions of culture and learning.
Wikipedia is different. It's the largest encyclopedia in history, written by volunteers. Like a national park or a school, we don't believe advertising should have a place in Wikipedia. We want to keep it free and strong, but we need the support of thousands of people like you.
I invite you to join us: Your donation will help keep Wikipedia free for the whole world.
Thank you,
Jimmy Wales
Good luck, Jimmy. "Wiki" is about as household as "Google" at this point. We internet-ophiles would miss you dearly.

Syracuse, NY (Sports Network) - C.J. Fair played the role of hero, tipping the
ball in for the go-ahead basket in the waning seconds that lifted the No. 3
Syracuse Orange to a 57-55 victory over 21st-ranked Cincinnati. Michael
Carter-Williams scored 16 points, including a game-tying 3-pointer, for the
Orange (18-1, 6-0 Big East), who were coming off their fourth win in program
history against the nation's top-ranked team. Syracuse edged then-No. 1
Louisville on Saturday. Fair and Brandon Triche had 13 points apiece for
Syracuse, which extended its school-record home winning streak to 35 games.
Sean Kilpatrick hit six 3-pointers and finished with 21 points for the
Bearcats (16-4, 4-3), who lost for the first time in eight games away from
home this season.

Small surf conditions continue to challenge the Central North Carolina District of ESA as the second contest in the 2014 series was held in 1-2 foot waves at North Topsail Beach on Saturday, May 10.
�After competing in similar conditions in Folly Beach two weeks ago at Regionals, I realized that we need to be able to rise to the challenge in any conditions�, commented District CO Director, Beth Schub. �Our surfing can only get stronger by figuring out how to perform in small surf�.
A new crop of younger competitors in CNC did quite well on Saturday. Preston Walker of Hampstead caught an outstanding wave from the outside that got him near-barreled in the shorebreak. He took first place in the Novice Menehune Division. Braden Munden of Morehead City defeated 8 rivals in the 3A Boys division, managing to do multiple maneuvers on the small waves. He went on to win the Menehune Longboard Division and placed third in the Menehune Bodyboard Division. Caileigh Alexander seemed to be the wave magnet in the Jr. Women Longboard final as she caught the best waves in the heat for her win. Dakota Cottle was a boy on a mission taking top honors in the 3A Menehune, Menehune Bodyboard, and Open Bodyboard Divisions.
Onshore Surf Shop in Surf City and Electric Visual provided a generous assortment of prizes for the finalists. ESA/CNC�s next competition is on May 31/June 1 at the New Bern St. Access in Atlantic Beach. There is still plenty of time to join ESA and compete in this year�s series.
Beth Schub is the Eastern Surfing Assoc./Central North Carolina District co-director.

Often beautiful and intelligent, ladies with this name also have the gift of patience and kindness. They often place others before themselves, which makes them the best kind of friend to rely on. Though passive, they aren't afraid to stand up for what they believe in and often hold their loved ones close to their hearts; their friends especially. Once you fall for one, or become close to them, you'll never regret it.
"Hey, did you know Valerie helped out at the soup kitchen?"

Interior Designer Homes: Bringing luxury style to a plain new-build
Interior designer Phoebe Oldrey of Smartstyle Interiors has transformed a beige box of a new build into a welcoming home for herself and her family. Here she shows us round.
We'd love some decorating tips for a hallway. How do you make it an interesting space in its own right?
'Lighting brings so much to a hall and I love this oversized lampshade – it creates drama. The bench is a work of art but it's also a great solution to a practical problem – I noticed we were spending all our time sitting on the stairs to put our shoes on. Hallways are also great places to hang artwork and family pictures to say "welcome to our home".'
Can you tell us about the lighting you chose for this living space? We love the effects it creates.
'I wanted this room to have a warm feeling in the evenings, while keeping its spacious atmosphere during the day. The ceiling light has a fabulous effect, making it look twice the size. The lampshades for the wall lights have a fishnet pattern in red on a greyish base and when they are lit up they have a warm red glow that creates cosiness in the evenings.'
Pretty windows! Can you give us some insider secrets on choosing window dressings?
'These curtains are the result of me falling for this beautiful fabric. Because of its large print they feel like a piece of artwork and when the light comes through them it feels like the birds are flying past. I wanted the curtains at the French windows to be the stars of the room so I used Roman blinds at the two side windows in a fabric the same colour as the walls.'
Talk us through this bedroom scheme – the feature wall looks fab.
'The wallpaper and the trunk are what makes this room really special. I love the dark colour of the wallpaper, and the way it creates a bedhead right across the width of the room. It has some metallic elements in the design, which looks great in both daylight and with the bedside lamps on.'
How did you keep this bathroom looking spacious?
'The basin unit is actually a lower kitchen unit designed for disability access. We created the illusion that it's wall hung by stepping back the kick plate and tiling it to match the floor and skirting. Everything is craftily stored in this unit or niches, so the worksurface remains uncluttered. The sides of the unit pull out so when you are at the sink getting ready everything is easily to hand, then can be shut away.'

I installed a network edition trial (4.5.1) on a CentOS server.
I am testing an imapsync for importing messages from our current scalix installation. The import of the messages is working correctly. But when I view the imported messages in the zimbra webmail interface, some characters are not being displayed properly in the message fragment section. It appears to be special characters that are having the problem like dashes (-) and double quotes ("). The same characters display correctly in the subject line and message body.
Is this a problem with imapsync process? or an incorrect apache character set configuration? or something else?

The Beijing leadership has reshuffled the high command of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) as the military goes through its own leadership transition separate from but linked to the 18th Party Congress beginning later this week. The move, which was announced last week, has also given hints about the reorganization of the policy-setting Central Military Commission (CMC). The membership of a much rejuvenated CMC will be confirmed by the 18th Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Congress, which is due to open on November 8. Although this round of personnel selection reinforces the PLA's increasing dedication to professionalism in its upper echelons, this series of personnel changes also reflects intense horse-trading among the party's principal factions.
The new chiefs of the "Four General Departments"the General Staff Department (GSD), General Political Department (GPD), General Logistics Department (GLD) and General Armaments Department (GAD)are respectively General Fang Fenghui (age 61); General Zhang Yang (age 61); General Zhao Keshi (age 65); and General Zhang Youxia (age 62). Moreover, General Ma Xiaotian, (age 63) and General Wei Fenghe (age 58) have been appointed Commander of respectively the Air Force and the Second Artillery Corps. The incumbent Commander of the Navy, Wu Shengli (age 67) is expected to remain in his post for the foreseeable future. Also named were a dozen-odd new deputy and assistant chiefs of the headquarters units as well as the Navy, Air Force and Second Artillery Corps (PLA Daily, October 25; China News Service, October 25).
The chiefs of the four general departments as well as the three military divisions will become ordinary members of the CMC. Uncertainties, however, still hang over the identities of the top CMC leadership. According to reports out of Beijing and Hong Kong, President Hu (age 69) will stay on as CMC chairman for at least two years beyond his retirement from the Politburo and the Central Committee at the 18th CCP Congress. The precedent for this in the post-revolutionary generation was set by ex-president Jiang Zemin, who continued being CMC chair for almost two years after his retirement from all other party slots at the 16th Party Congress in 2002. This means that Vice President Xi Jinping, (age 59) who is slated to soon replace Hu as CCP general secretary, will remain CMC vice chairman for the time being. The two new CMC vice chairmen are former PLA Air Force Commander General Xu Qiliang (age 62) and Commander of the Jinan Military Region General Fan Changlong (age 65). The newly retired GAD Director, General Chang Wanquan (age 63) is set to replace General Liang Guanglie as Defense Minister (Xinhua, November 4; Wen Wei Po [Hong Kong] October 26; South China Morning Post, October 26; Apple Daily [Hong Kong] October 25).
The just-named Chief of the General Staff General Fang perhaps best exemplifies the new generation of professionally savvy officers. Fang, a native of Shaanxi Province and graduate of the elite National Defense University, was the youngest of China's seven regional commanders when he was given the No. 1 post of the Beijing Military Region (MR) in 2007. Apart from his command-and-control skills, Fang is a much-published author on military strategy, particularly in the areas of computer-aided war games and the synchronization of different branches of the military forces. One of General Fang's favorite mottoes is that "radically changing times demand innovation in strategic theories." President Hu was said to be very impressed with Fang's orchestration of the 2009 military parade in Bejing, which marked the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic. Last year, Fang won plaudits when he supervised complicated-scale maneuvers involving more than 30,000 soldiers from the Beijing, Lanzhou and Chengdu MRs. While the great majority of his predecessors as Beijing MR commander went into retirement after serving in this sensitive position, General Fang seems to have a bright future ahead of him (Ta Kung Pao [Hong Kong] October 26; Southern Metropolitan News [Guangzhou] October 25; Ifeng.com [Beijing], August 29, 2011).
Two hot contenders for the post of GDP director lost out apparently due to their close association with the disgraced Politburo member and Chongqing Party Secretary Bo Xilai. They are the Political Commissar of the General Logistics Department General Liu Yuan (age 61) and the Political Commissar of the Second Artillery Corps General Zhang Haiyang (age 63). Like Bo, who is the son of revolutionary hero Bo Yibo, Generals Liu and Zhang are deemed high-profile princelings. General Liu is the son of the late state president Liu Shaoqi, while General Zhang is the son of former Politburo member General Zhang Zhen. While Bo has never served in the PLA, he has a large following amongst the "princeling generals." The charismatic former Politburo member is due to be put on trial for alleged crimes including large-scale corruption and dereliction of duty (Sing Tao Daily [Hong Kong] October 24; Ming Pao [Hong Kong] October 24).
After Bo was detained by authorities in mid-March, PLA disciplinary authorities have run numerous campaigns to promote the ideal of "the party's absolute leadership over the army." An August 1 Army Day commentary in the PLA Daily made an unusual reference to the army's immunity against being manipulated by "ambitious careerists" in the mould of Bo. "In the midst of even the most dangerous situations, not a single troop in our army's history has mutineered or surrendered to the enemy," said the Daily commentary, "And not even the most cunning and ambitious careerist has been able to use the army to realize his conspiracy" (PLA Daily, August 1; Xinhua, August 1). In a talk last month, then-CMC Vice Chairman Xu Caihou urged officers and soldiers to "ensure that the troops must uphold a high level of unison with the central party leadership and the CMC in the areas of thought and politics." Xu added "We must resolutely listen to the directions of the party central leadership, the CMC and Chairman Hu" (Xinhua, October 11; PLA Daily, October 11).
In terms of factional dynamics, President Hu seems to be a major beneficiary of the reshuffle. Apart from Chief of the General Staff General Fang, GPD Director General Zhang is said to be close to the supremo. Given that the GDP controls functions including appointments and discipline, Hu may through his close ties with General Zhang be able to maintain some say in personnel matters even after his departure from the CMC. Hu's clout also is evidenced by the surprise appointment of another protégé, the relatively inexperienced Hong Kong Garrison commander Zhang Shibo, as General Fang's successor as Beijing MR commander. Before assuming the Hong Kong posting in late 2007, Zhang, a 60 year-old lieutenant general, was commander of the 20th Group Army (Apple Daily, October 26; Sina.com, October 24].
Other appointments may reflect the preferences of ex-president Jiang and Vice President Xi. The probable promotion of Jinan MR Commander General Fan to the CMC vice chairmanship reflects Jiang's residual influence. General Fan is the protégé of soon-to-retire CMC Vice Chairman General Xu, who is deemed Jiang's "unofficial representative" in the CMC. Both Generals Xu and Fan had served for long periods in the 16th Group Army. Earlier this year, General Fan (age 65) was expected to be leaving the armed forces after having reached the mandatory retirement age for regional commanders. Xi's influence in the PLA has been adversely affected by the fact that the career of several princeling generals has been hurt by their association with Bo Xilai. New Air Force commander General Ma Xiaotian and GAD Director General Zhang Youxia, however, are notable princelings. General Zhang is thought to be particularly close to Xi. The fathers of Xi and General Zhang, respectively Xi Zhongxun and General Zhang Zongxun were close allies when both worked in northwestern China before the CCP came into power in 1949 (Ming Pao, October 25; Sing Tao Daily, October 25).
The marathon reshuffles also have followed the tradition begun by President Hu of the frequent movement of personnel not only across different military divisions but also from headquarters to the regions. For example, the Political Commissar of the Chengdu MR, General Tian Xiusi, was made the Political Commissar of the Air Force. Assistant GPD Director General Wei Liangzhong became the Political Commissar of the Guangzhou MR, while General Wang Guanzhong, the veteran Director of the PLA General Office, was appointed a Deputy Chief of the GSD (Ming Pao, October 26; Ta Kung Pao, October 25). Also notable are the proverbial "helicopter rides" taken by the likes of General Fan of the Jinan MR and General Zhang of the Hong Kong Garrison. It is very rare for a regional commander to be elevated directly to CMC vice chairman. General Zhang's promotion to the post of Beijing MR Commander is also unusual. In light of the importance of the Beijing MR, only officers who had held senior posts such as deputy commander or chief of the general staff of the country's seven MRs had been named to that sensitive slot (Ta Kung Pao, October 24; Apple Daily, October 24).
Given that factional loyalty is a key consideration behind the on-going personnel movements, it is perhaps not surprising that not as much priority has been given to weeding out corruption in the military. This is despite the fact that General Liu Yuanone of the high-profile losers in the promotion sweepstakeswas praised highly for initiating an anti-graft campaign within the GLD early this year. Senior Colonel Liu Mingfu, a professor at the National Defense University and a respected military commentator, pointed out recently that "corrupt generals" were an even more serious problem than "corrupt cadres." Last month, Liu said "Corruption is the only force that can defeat the PLA." "Yet the forces of corruption are more powerful than those of fighting corruption," he added. "And perpetrators of corruption are more resourceful than graft busters" (Wen Wei Po, October 8; Sina.com, October 8). The onus is on the post-18th Party Congress leadership to demonstrate that members of the newly promoted top brass live up to the oft-repeated motto of decai jianbei, that is, "having high moral attributes as well as being professionally competent."

About this font family
Lapture is based on the Leipziger Antiqua by Albert Kapr, released in 1971 by the East German foundry Typoart. It has been extended and carefully redesigned by Tim Ahrens in 2002-05.
The strong calligraphic characteristics are a result of the design process: "The size of the counters and the width of individual characters at small optical sizes were analysed with a steel pen while the letter shapes were designed in larger size with a specially trimmed reed pen. Sometimes the hand is more innovative than the head alone," says Kapr. More…

Recent comments
One thing I liked about how it was before has to do with the recent comments. Because urls used to include the post's title, by hovering the mouse over a recent comment it was easy to see what post it was about. Now that the post urls have a numeric code, that's not possible. Many comments are titled 'Re: ... whatever', but one can still set the comment title to something else (which I like), in which case there's no way to know what post it's on without clicking on it. So if there's a way to do it, it'd be nice to have something like a tooltip with the post's title when you hover over a recent comment link.

1953 Chevrolet Pickup - A Simple PlanWritten by on January 9, 2007 Rebuilding AD Gauges With Jim Carter
Sometimes, the simple things end up being harder to achieve than the more complex. Case in point: Instrumentation for a '47-54 Chevy pickup. With the abundance of complete aftermarket offering available, it would be much easier to replace the stock gauges with a modern setup. But not everyone wants fancy electronic gauges, and while even nostalgia-style analog units are available, not everyone wants those, either. So, what does the simple man who wants to stick with simple, stock gauges do when his simple gauges don't all work properly, or worse, at all? Simple-call Jim Carter Classic Truck Parts.
With the exception of the fuel gauge, my '53 3100 had decent instrumentation when first purchased. When the unfortunate "nut in the intake" happened, forcing the removal of the cylinder head, the delicate capillary tube was severed from its well-aged sending unit that time had welded to the head. Fortunately, this did not cause a coolant leak, but it did disable the temp gauge, putting me in the same boat as with fuel level when it came to knowing coolant status-guessing. Being the simple man in this case, I wanted to keep the stock gauges, so the search began. Knowing that a solder repair wouldn't suffice, a complete (N.O.S. and good-used) gauge cluster was looked into-pricey and hard to find.
Next, I looked for just a replacement temp gauge, but the standby search engine and eBay didn't turn much up. Eventually, a question was posted on a reliable message board-www.stovebolt.com-and wouldn't you know it, the answer had been under my nose the entire time. Jim Carter Classic Truck Parts (the same ones advertising here in this magazine!) had what I needed, and then some.
A call was put in to Mr. Carter himself to discuss the issues at hand. On top of informing me of his company's ability to rebuild mechanical gauges to factory specs, he also clued me in to the fact that he could rebuild my non-working fuel gauge, in 12V configuration, no less. Furthermore, he offered to supply me with the correct oil pressure gauge face (the existing one was for a high-pressure 216) with a matching Ammeter face, completing the required components for the restoration. All I had to do was tackle the first "R" of the R&R...Remove the old parts and ship the broken ones to Jim.
As you may have read elsewhere in this issue, taking things apart is no problem for me-it's the part about putting them back together that used to be a hindrance. These days, that can still apply to things associated with electronics, and this was no exception. Taking the stock gauge cluster out and apart was a bit of a chore, mainly because a majority of time was spent suspended upside-down with the back of my head pressed firmly against the clutch pedal (minus the rubber pad!), but it was accomplished-carefully. Anything over 50 years of age requires care when being handled, so a lot of caution was taken when the tiny screws holding the temp gauge were undone, the nuts on the back of the electrical posts were loosened, and the bezel split from the cluster housing, among many other things. Beyond that, even more delicate handling was used when the parts were packaged up for shipping.
Within a short amount of time, a package from Independence, Missouri, arrived on my doorstep. Flashbacks from my childhood immediately rushed through my head, as I was faced with the final "R"...Replacing the parts. No problem-I could always send anything I broke back to Jim Carter for subsequent repair if need be! As it turned out, the reinstallation went easier than anticipated, including the application of the new gauge faces. In the process, I learned the importance of a "light" hand when dealing with extremely fragile items like gauge pointers, tiny soldered wire connections, and hair-thin capillary tubes!
When all was said and done, I had overcome my childhood fears. With the battery reconnected, the ignition key was turned to On and, to my initial surprise, each gauge responded with a renewed energy (literally and accurately). To fully gauge my success as it were, the engine was fired and, lo and behold, the temp gauge read just what the fresh coolant was telling it to. The one and only somewhat unfortunate part was the drop in oil pressure, which actually wasn't reduced. Rather, I had been under the impression it was higher previously due to the incorrect gauge face! I could deal with that.

Don't you hate when this happens? Old fittings that have been in a cylinder head for some time tend to get quite comfortable and don't take kindly to removal. This one put up a good fight until the very end. No worries, Jim Carter Classic Truck Parts was waiting for the call!Prior to the capillary incident, the gauges in the '53 worked well enough, all except the fuel gauge, which didn't work at all, but a spare gas can helped with that. As for the oil pressure gauge, it seemed to work the best-but as you will soon see, it was all a lie!Since the sending unit was already dislodged, it was just a matter of removing the gauge cluster unit in order to get the parts ready to ship off. On the backside of the dash you'll find four nutted studs holding the cluster in place. A 3/8-inch nutdriver works well here, but have a small open-end on hand, as well.Prior to undoing any of the electrical connections, disconnect the battery! It's also a good idea to mark the wires to avoid any confusion later on. Now's also a good time to address any "iffy" wiring, too.After disconnecting all the wires, drop the cluster out from behind the dash. In order to get the individual instruments out, you'll need to separate the bezel/glass from the housing.The mechanical gauges are held in place with small screws, while the electric gauges have nuts that tighten down on their sending posts that go through the housing.If reusing the decorative parts of the cluster, take care in removing and store somewhere safe until it's time to reinstall.
The temp gauge and corresponding parts were ready to ship off to Jim Carter; now all that remained was removal of the fuel gauge.Because of my increasing forgetfulness, I numbered the connections on the housing, too. The broken piece of cardboard on the electrical posts actually serves as a protective barrier between the "hot" and sending sides.When the truck was updated to 12V, the Fuel gauge wasn't wired through the voltage reducer. Obviously, it didn't appreciate the extra zap it got, which rendered it useless...until now.While new cosmetic components are available, these parts were still in really good shape. All they needed was a little extra TLC.For the bezel, I simply gave it a once-over with extra-fine steel wool followed by some Mothers chrome polish.The glass was also hit with the steel wool, while a fresh razor blade got rid of insulator "stuff" that began protruding from behind the bezel. The gauge faceplate simply needed to be wiped down with some window cleaner. Not bad, huh? If yours are beyond repair, Jim Carter has the goods to replace.Not long after everything was shipped off, a package from Jim Carter arrived in the mail. Neatly packed inside were a freshly rebuilt temp gauge and sending unit, a new "12V" fuel gauge, and new gauge faces for the oil and amp units (the browns between new and old varied slightly, so they sent new faces so everything matched).The gauge unit had been temporarily put back into service during downtime (so the truck could be driven), so work was performed as shown. Like I said, that "square" hole is cut just so the sending unit nut will slide through. Even though it's new, the capillary tube is still very fragile, so it was handled accordingly.
The temp gauge was snugged down finger-tight with the screws, as the fuel gauge still had to be installed (it should have gone first, as the faceplate backing has tabs that go behind each gauge to the side of it). When handling the gauges, be extra careful not to harm the delicate pointers.Now the fun part: swapping out gauge faces. Fortunately, the adhesive hadn't gotten too hard, as the old decals peeled off easily. Once removed, the plates were thoroughly cleaned so that no bumps would show through on the new ones.Getting the new faces placed just right isn't that hard, but it's easy to mess up! A good trick is to peel back and cut off half of the backing so you can position without your fingers sticking.The new fuel gauge came with a protective cardboard, which goes between the base nuts and the gauge housing. A warning label indicates how important it is NOT to touch the ignition wire on the sending unit terminal! All electrical hookups were reconnected tightly before the cluster was positioned back onto the dash studs.The screws used to attach the recovered gauge faces varied quite a bit from those on the Jim Carter units. Not to worry-the trim plate covers them completely.Prior to final reinstallation, the glass was wiped down and rid of its dust bunnies. Clean gloves help keep things tidy, too.The unit goes back together exactly the opposite way it came apart. The slot in the housing indicates positioning, which I used to initially clench the bezel to the housing while things were being carefully stuffed back in place.Once back together and each gauge window lined up accordingly, the bezel was firmly crimped onto the housing.Beauty, eh? I sure think so. Not only does the cluster look good (and correct), everything works like it was originally meant to! Notice the different oil pressure readout? The old gauge was for a higher-pressure 216 (60 pounds), which led me to believe the 235 had fantastic pressure. Well, at least it still has pressure!
Finally, the new capillary and sensor were installed in the cylinder head port using a new brass-fitting nut and Teflon seal. The tube was carefully routed so as not to be damaged in the engine compartment. From here, the battery was reconnected and I was on to the next job...one of many! Thanks to Jim Carter, though, this portion was easy and successful!

Gamer-friendly PC publisher Stardock (Sins of a Solar Empire) has released what it is terming the "Gamer's Bill of Rights" at PAX.
The company calls the document:
…a statement of principles that it hopes will encourage the PC game industry to adopt standards that are more supportive of PC gamers. The document contains 10 specific "rights" that video game enthusiasts can expect from Stardock as an independent developer and publisher that it hopes that other publishers will embrace…
the objective of the Gamer's Bill of Rights is to increase the confidence of consumers of the quality of PC games which in turn will lead to more sales and a better gaming experience.
Of the Bill of Rights, Stardock CEO Brad Wardell commented:
As an industry, we need to begin setting some basic, common sense standards that reward PC gamers for purchasing our games. The console market effectively already has something like this in that its games have to go through the platform maker such as Nintendo, Microsoft, or Sony. But on the PC, publishers can release games that are scarcely completed, poorly supported, and full of intrusive copy protection and then be stuck on it.
Chris Taylor, CEO and founder of Gas Powered Games, expressed support for the Bill of Rights, which Stardock enumerates as:
- Gamers shall have the right to return games that don't work with their computers for a full refund.
- Gamers shall have the right to demand that games be released in a finished state.
- Gamers shall have the right to expect meaningful updates after a game's release.
- Gamers shall have the right to demand that download managers and updaters not force themselves to run or be forced to load in order to play a game.
- Gamers shall have the right to expect that the minimum requirements for a game will mean that the game will play adequately on that computer.
- Gamers shall have the right to expect that games won't install hidden drivers or other potentially harmful software without their consent.
- Gamers shall have the right to re-download the latest versions of the games they own at any time.
- Gamers shall have the right to not be treated as potential criminals by developers or publishers.
- Gamers shall have the right to demand that a single-player game not force them to be connected to the Internet every time they wish to play.
- Gamers shall have the right that games which are installed to the hard drive shall not require a CD/DVD to remain in the drive to play.
GP: While this would more properly be termed the PC Gamer's Bill of Rights, we have to say, Bravo, Stardock!

Foxborough, MA (Sports Network) - The final two months of the season figure to
be filled with games that pit two playoff contenders against one another, and
Sunday's clash between the Montreal Impact and New England Revolution
certainly falls into that category.
The Impact enters the weekend in a three-way tie atop the Eastern Conference
with Sporting Kansas City and Red Bull New York, while the Revs linger only
five points behind in fifth place and could be poised for a charge further up
the table.
With things so tight in the East, every point is valuable at this stage of the
season, and Montreal forward Marco Di Vaio is well aware of how important it
is to get points away from home this time of year.
"We have to pick up points away like we did early this season," Di Vaio said.
"It's very important: it might be the difference between fifth place leading
to the wild card game and the top of the table sending us directly into the
The Impact earned a 0-0 draw in Philadelphia last time out, and would like to
follow up that result with at least another point at Gillette Stadium on
Sporting is the only team that is currently sitting with a .500 record away
from home in Major League Soccer at 5-5-3, so Montreal's road mark of 3-6-3
isn't terrible.
But the Impact will have to overcome a few absences on Sunday if they are
going to take anything away from the match.
Both Maxime Crepeau and Zakaria Messoudi are on international duty, while the
injury news on newcomers Hernan Bernardello and Adrian Lopez is not good.
Midfielder Bernardello is expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks with an ankle
injury sustained in the draw with the Union, while defender Lopez could be
facing a longer spell on the sidelines after a training injury on Tuesday.
New England is also coming off of a draw on the road as the Revs finished in a
1-1 deadlock with Toronto FC last Friday.
The Revs have earned five points from their last three games, but will be a
bit disappointed with the draw after Diego Fagundez gave the team a 1-0 lead
inside of two minutes.
"You don't want to change the mentality," New England defender A.J. Soares
said after his team took an early lead in Toronto. "We came out and played
really good soccer in the first five minutes and we wanted to continue but
they did a good job of preventing us from playing our soccer and they played
very well. They are a professional team and they are going to come at us."
The Revs allowed Andrew Wiedeman to score the equalizer just before halftime,
and the second 45 minutes produced more cards than scoring chances.
New England may have wanted all three points, but the club can at least be
pleased with the recent form of Fagundez, who has notched two goals and two
assists in the club's last two outings.

|Fairgrounds water feature already drawing a crowd
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Before the crew from Sawyer Waterscaping even had a chance to completely clean up the site of the new water feature south of Homesteaders Park, children were already splashing in the water, running around the small waterfalls and playing on the bridge.
The project was completed Friday, Aug. 9, and by 4:30 p.m., a dozen children were on hand to readily welcome the new attraction to the park. Some of the first kids to enjoy the new feature are pictured from left, Wyatt Sprague, Miles Sprague, Sadee Mosenteen and Lia Sprague, who took turns figuring out how to cross the pond using the bridge. —Enterprise photo

What is clsXlca?
Inspired by the Community Leadership Summit run each year before OSCON, Donna Benjamin will convene CLSx at LCA to bring together community leaders, organisers and managers and the projects and organisations that are interested in growing and empowering a strong community. We invite the leading minds in community management, relations and online collaboration to discuss, debate and continue to refine the art of building an effective and capable community.
As an open unconference-style event, everyone who attends is welcome to lead and contribute sessions on any relevant topic.
The Community Leadership Summit began in 2009 in Portland, Oregon, USA, and has grown to be a key fixture on the open source event calendar. CLS was conceived and is organised each year by Jono Bacon. He is now at Github, but was senior director of Community at XPRIZE, and formerly community manager for the global Ubuntu community and author of The Art of Community by O'Reilly.
Jono started the summit as a first step in helping community managers and leaders to define and refine their work, share knowledge and make connections in a vendor neutral way. And now, CLS is going global. CLSx events are local CLS style events that happen in locations around the world.

Skateboarder hit by car, critically hurt
Published: Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 9:48 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 11:12 a.m.
BELLEVIEW — A juvenile was seriously injured Thursday night when he was hit from behind while on his skateboard in Belleview, according to Florida Highway Patrol troopers.
Authorities said the vehicle was heading westbound on County Road 484, approaching Southeast 127th Place.
The skateboarder, Scott Gorham, 17, of Belleview, officials said, was traveling westbound in the roadway.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers said Gorham, was still in critical condition at Shands at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
Troopers said a 2002 Dodge Neon driven by Linda Trotter, 58, of Summerfield, was heading west Thursday night on County Road 484, approaching Southeast 127th Place. Scott was riding his skateboard west in the roadway.
Troopers said the roadway was dark and Trotter didn't see Gorham until it was too late and the right front of her vehicle struck him from behind, throwing him into the roadway.
It's the second juvenile who has been injured in an accident in less than a week in Marion County.
Last Saturday night, a teenage girl riding a horse in Umatilla was injured when a pick-up truck hit the horse from behind, throwing the teen from the horse. The horse was also hit by another vehicle.
The horse died on scene, and the girl was airlifted to an Orlando hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
