all of the miles of cable it took to get that wire to your house could all get sun burnt and brittle too but that didn't stop them from running it. I would have made them run the wire the way you wanted it. You pay them for a service and should have it your way.
I am a new Comcast customer who had internet and phone service installed just yesterday. (Waiting for confirmation of fiber optic in my neighborhood before I get TV service. )
The question is about the wire cable installed from the signal source at the rear of my house around to the front office where my computers are. I have just remodeled my older home and have painted and prettied up the exterior. As part of this, I had a professional some months ago rewire the various existing wires and cables under the eves for a neater appearance. The Comcast contractor yesterday insisted that running the internet cable from the back of the house to the front would best be done over the fascia and across the roof. When I asked to run the cable around the house under the eves with the rest of the wires, he said that the extra 20-30 feet of cable required for this "could" deteriorate my signal to such an extent as to lower speeds considerably and that I "could" be unhappy with the result. I have little knowledge of these matters, so I immediately called a tech at Comcast and she rather unconfidently said that yes that 20-30 extra feet "could" have such a slowing effect. Her supervisor said the same with the same lack of conviction: it "could". Now I live in the desert Southwest. It was hot outside. My conspiratorial side comes out and I wonder if the installers are just trying to avoid all the under-eave stapling, get done with the job, and get home. Were the Comcast techs beyond their depth?
And every Comcast person I spoke with said "could" too many times. When you think about it, almost everything in the world "could" happen. For those of you with more knowledge of these matters than I, "could" the speed be slowed by a few extra feet of cable? If it "could" be, how much and how likely is it? Incidentally, I am quite happy with the speed - nice, but I just don't like that big black wire running over the roof and down my newly painted fascia.
I thank you appreciatively for lending me you thoughts.

Laryngeal cancer is a disease in which cancer cells grow in the larynx. The larynx is a tube-shaped organ inside the neck that lies between the throat and the windpipe. Its main function is to produce sound for speaking.
Cancer occurs when cells in the body—in this case laryngeal cells—divide without control or order. Normally, cells divide in a regulated manner. If cells keep dividing uncontrollably when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue forms, called a growth or tumor. The term cancer refers to
malignant tumors, which can invade nearby tissues and can spread to other parts of the body. A
benign tumor
does not invade or spread.
The cause of laryngeal cancer is not known.
Factors that increase your chance of getting laryngeal cancer include:
Symptoms may include:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily tissue may need to be tested. This can be done with
Your internal structures may need to be viewed and examined. This can be done with:
When laryngeal cancer is found, staging tests are performed to find out if the cancer has spread and, if so, to what extent. Treatment depends on the stage of the cancer. For early stage laryngeal cancer, either surgery or radiation alone are the most common and appropriate therapies offered. For more advanced disease, either radiation with chemotherapy or surgery followed by radiation is the most common treatment given.
Treatment includes:
Surgery requires removal of a cancerous tumor and nearby tissue, and possibly nearby lymph nodes. Surgeries for laryngeal cancer include:
Radiation therapy
the use of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. This may be external radiation therapy, where the beam is directed at the tumor from a source outside the body.
is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. This form of treatment may be given in many forms including pill, injection, and catheter. The drugs enter the bloodstream and travel through the body killing mostly cancer cells, but also some healthy cells. Chemotherapy may be used to reduce the size of a particularly large cancer.
Since laryngeal cancer is extremely rare in nonsmokers, the best way to prevent this type of cancer is by not smoking. Other measures you can take to reduce your risk of laryngeal cancer include:

You may wonder if Garmont cast a spell over the Men's Voodoo Thermo Boot, but alas they just used multiple injections to reinforce the lower shell to create a badass tele boot with the stiffness of an alpine boot.
- A smooth, progressive forward flex for deep knee-bends in steep chutes and mellow terrain
- The Power Wrap shell has a custom-bootfitter fit to provide room for your foots first metatarsal, '6th toe', etc
- The Shell's high overlap panel provides close, gap-free contact with the instep and lower leg, and evenly distributes pressure for comfort when you shred the hill
- Cuff buckles catches are moveable to custom-fit different sizes of lower legs, and field-replaceable

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
After starting my tele years in leather I have watched the progression to plastic boots and up until recently always wore a Scarp T1. I think the newer versions of many tele boots are moving to close to Alpine expectations than I prefer. I want a boot that makes the maximum out of a tele turn without just making it a dialed back Alpine experience.
Garmont has found the perfect place between a big boot to drive new skis and the flex in the cuff a true tele turn requires. I can feel shin flex and drive into the ski that I had lost with Scarpa.
So glad to have found these!
Power and Grace
Simply stated, these boots are amazing! After 8 years of "suffering" in Hawaii, I have returned to telemark and what a way to return. The Voodoos were comfortable out of the box and are even better after baking. I wear size 10.5 to 11 and opted for the Mondo 28.5, which is clearly on the looser end. I could have easily worn a 27.5, but issues in the past steered me toward the right side of the scale. I went sockless when cooking to allow for greater foam expansion and hopefully a better fit after packing out. I have now added the Sole EV insole and have a perfect fit! The Voodoos feel solid and transfer power smoothly and reliably. Paired with 22Designs Hammerheads, I have found my dream setup and a rig that I can grow with.
Great boot!
Have loved previous Garmont's and have a wide forefoot and midfoot. This boot definitely fits tighter than the old Garmonts, especially in the mid foot. But, after 2 molds with some small expanders for my funky feet they fit amazing. Great lateral stiffness and the alpine wrap, while a pain to get in to, transfers all that power through to the ski. Soft in the bellows, just like the classic Garmont flex and stiff everywhere else...love it!
For reference: I had a size 27.5 in the old Garmont and am in the 27/27.5 in the new shell style.
last boot I will ever own!!
just stepped up from the t-2's, it's taking a while to adjust from 2-3 buckles but had a breakthrough and I am in love!! getting in and out is like some midevil torture device but once I am in it's all love. I endured the pain of riding the boots without forming the liner for 4-5 days and then went to a local shop to get it heated up, and now it's all butter. (but I don't use the foot bed liner..) going to a third buckle is odd, and sometimes the multitude of micro adjustments are annoying, but once you get yourself dialed there is no doubt the boot helps me turn my fat ass as well as extending endurance. My breakthrough trick is the leaving the middle buckle loose or not loose depending on my mood. I like it loose. The boots high shin and strap locks down my leg for better energy transfer. extremely well designed and constructed, truely amazed at the baffel. you pay alot but it's worth it!! I think the thermo forming is the trick, make sure the store has the toe boxes and you stand your toes on a 2x4 board with your heels onthe ground. some stores staff don't know or care, so you better!!
Garmont Voodoo Tele Boot
15 years of tele skiing starting with leather Asolos, going to T-2 Scarpas and then last year, 2010, thinking new T-2 bulky on the inside, went with Garmont Voodoo. Fitted at shop, following procedure on baked liners, noticed somewhat snug in toebox, figured liners would pack out a bit and all would be good.
Put 30 days on them and they never did feel good in the toe area and definitely colder than my old T-2's. Thinking I needed more days, more hiking, I held on until now. Got another 15 days so far and I'm throwing in the towel and going back to T-2's. Just not right for my feet I guess. Painful bruising on top of both big toe nails, and when I hike, they tend to rub on the inside and just below my ankle knob. Not so bad as to blister, but it's noticable and uncomfortable. No complaints about construction and for some folks, maybe a great boot. Unlike some others I read here, I don't think you need a mammoth boot to drive a big ski. My T-2's pushed my G-3 Hombres just fine and I ski faster and harder than 90% of the pack, have broken numerous bindings and skis, just lately busting a G-3 T-9 plate. So I'm pushing the gear and I'm going back to T-2's because of their fit for my feet. I'd always felt I could wear them all day, and many times did, carrying me across the Haute Route for a week on 1 trip. Not so with the Garmonts.
go back and get them formed again! your suspose to have a toe box on your feet when they form the liner. I know the pain your talking about, did the store have you stand with your toes on a 2x4 board as well?
First day in the boots, I thought I'd made a very expensive mistake. Had the same issue and had them re-fitted at my local tele shop. Skied in t-2s & Garmont Veloces. Loved the two buckle Veloce for everything from slopes to Sierra BC, but needed newer boot as the Veloces were getting soft and sloppy. After a proper moulding odf the liner, the Vodoos have been awesome for me. You may, despite everything, have a foot not suited for the Veloce. Good thing you know Scarpas will work for you.
Garmont Voodoo at IME
Amazing Boots
I upgraded from old three buckle T1s this year to these. It was a night and day difference in ability to drive wider skis. The ability to drive down the back ski and control it was much better. The bellows is also more flexible which I prefer. I like the 3 buckle design with the power of a 4 buckle (saves weight).
The foot area is wider and the toe area is not as tall as my Scarpas, which is good because the sides of my feet were killing me after a day last year. However the shorter toe area did take two baking sessions and a handful of skiing sessions to finally pack out. My large toe was being smashed and needed a little extra room. I also went down a 1/2 size. My Scarpas were 27 and Garmonts are 26.5.
The grooves that the buckles clip into have a very nice feature which holds the portion of the buckle into the buckle catch groove. So if you need to unbuckle the top two buckles for a hike, tour, or walk to the truck, it holds the buckle in the groove...no more swinging buckles. The red anodize on the buckles are starting to peel a bit but who cares.
It's your tele-talisman for the slopes
Similar models considered before purchase: Scarpa T-1, BD PushAfter spending hours and hours between reading reviews and literature and consulting with tele-boot-geeks at various shops around Boulder/Golden, I finally settled on these and I've never looked back. It's an excellent boot - the three-buckle design combined with the stiff, alpine-style plastics make for a boot that light enough going up and firm enough coming down to drive bigger boards (with the right binding). The toe box is super-roomy, and it's great for really getting a feel for what's going on with your toes and letting you use them to max effect.Make sure the fit's for you - if I had a slightly narrower foot, I might be singing the T-1's praises instead!
Thanks for the helpful review. May have saved me some time as I am going to purchase a new set of boots for this Season. I have skied old Scarpa T2s from around 2005 for a long, long time and it is time for something new. Just wondering what binding / ski you use the Voodoo with. I currently have HammerHeads and BD Havocs from a few years back.
skiing Voodoo hammerheads on a pair of Coombacks & Mantras
I use mine to drive Atomic Snoop Daddys (because I'm old school like that and the topsheets are the best) and BD Zealots (last year's green ones) both with O1s. I like the RidStiff cartridges on the Zealots and switch between Rid and MidStiff on the Snoops.
Been waiting for this one
Good fit. I'd go up a half size from past Garmont boots. I wore a 27.5 in the Ener-G and wear a 28 in this one. Stiffer than the Ener-G. Ultra smooth forward flex and the ski mode locks the cuff (forward and back) for added power. Because the cuff can be locked both ways it allows a skier to put pressure into the tongue of the boot just like and alpine boot making for really powerful para-mark turns. It is compatible with 3-pin bindings. Super light, feels good touring. The new overlap shell design is a definite step forward in tele boot design.
The Voodoos aren't NTN, are they?
The Voodoos aren't NTN, are they?
They're the same moulding as the Garmont Prophets which are NTNs. I wouldn't recommend doing this, but if you had a drill and a sander you could probably convert your Voodoos into Prophets as it appears to only be the sole that is different.
Hi! I wear Scarpa T1 29.5 MP size. It's...
I wear Scarpa T1 29.5 MP size. It's just ok in length but could be a bit wider. What Garmont Voodoo size should I try then? Thank you.
I'm curious if these are a similar boot...
I'm curious if these are a similar boot to the Scarpa T2x? I have a pair of the T2x's, and love them to death, but the KILL the outer edge of my foot for some reason. Hoping that maybe a Garmont or Crispi may fit my foot better than the Scarpa. Thanks!
The Voodoo is a burlier boot than the T2x. While it only has three buckles, it is significantly more laterally stable and stiffer overall than most three buckle tele boots. They are also going to be a little heavier than the Scarpa. I used the old T2 for a while, and when upgrade time came along, I went with Ener-Gs and then Voodoos. Garmont boots fit my wider feet better than Scarpa. I think that they're the best boot on the market (when paired with a stiff binding spring/cartridge like O1s with RidStiff or AXLs). At the same time, If you prefer the lighter weight and greater flex of a boot like the T2 then you might want to choose another boot like the BD Seeker or T2.
i wear a us 10.5, almost an 11. what size...
i wear a us 10.5, almost an 11. what size would you recomend?
I wear a 10-10.5 street shoe and wear a 26.5 in Garmont (actually 26 but the shop didn't have a 26.5 in stock). The 26 and 26.5 shells are the same. It took two bakes to get the liners to fit properly. I'd say either a 26.5 or 27...you can order both and return one...
Or support you local BC shop, with boots its great because most will help bake and mold the liners to ensure you are happy. I had two fitting session that each took over an hour.

TruckstockWritten by on October 1, 2003 Contributors: Jeremy Cook Pat Ford's 25th Anniversary F-100 Supernationals
By definition, 25th anniversaries do not happen very often. Fiftieth anniversaries are at least twice as rare, and centennial celebrations of any one thing will undoubtedly only happen once in your lifetime. This year was a big one for Fords. Namely, Henry Ford and Pat Ford. As most of you already know, this year marks the 100th anniversary of Ford Motor Company. More important to us truck guys is the fact that 2K3 is also the 50th anniversary of the first F-100. As if that weren't enough reason to celebrate, Pat Ford took over Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, this past May for his 25th Annual F-100 Supernationals.
Taking all of these milestones into consideration, it was no surprise that a record 1,639 Effies made the pilgrimage into the Great Smokey Mountains for this year's Supernats and Family Reunion, many of them as part of the F-100 Super Cruise that originated near Toronto, Canada. Pat even estimates that there were a couple hundred more trucks in town that weren't registered entries, putting the final tally at nearly double the previous year. Kevin and I arrived on Tuesday afternoon (remember, the show does not officially start until Thursday) and were amazed to see the main show area between the Grand Hotel and convention center already filled. By Friday, the trucks were spilling over into all of the neighboring hotels as far as the eye could see in either direction along the parkway.
The convention center was packed to the gills with vendors from all over the country who brought interactive displays, held workshops, and answered tech questions throughout each day. Just a sampling of those in attendance included Dan Carpenter Specialties, Carolina Classic F-100, The Fairlane Company, Obsolete Ford Parts, Air Ride Technologies, BeBop's Glassworks, RodDoors, ididit, and Dennis Carpenter Reproductions. The area behind the convention center was reserved for the swap meet, and every square inch was packed with smokin' deals on Ford truck parts from the '40s through '70s.
While the days are spent looking over the amazing amounts of trucks, new products, and swap meet items, the nights were reserved for all of the great restaurants, shows, exhibits, and most importantly, go-kart tracks that Pigeon Forge has to offer. Come Saturday afternoon, all of that was put aside when the whole town lined up along the parkway for what was to be the largest F-100 parade in history. That many Effies idling down the same drag was truly a sight to behold. Later that evening, over 3,000 participants gathered in the convention hall for the awards ceremony. After the literally hundreds of awards were given away, only the four biggest awards remained. Of the four trucks that were picked as finalists for the coveted title of F-100 of the Year, John Besick's '53 stake bed "1-Ton Tomato" won the Spectators Choice award, and Harold and Amy Nicely nabbed the Truckers Choice award with beautiful green '56. Finally, the Truck of the Year award was presented to Lew Thompson and his periwinkle blue '56. This is usually about the time when people scatter, but on this particular evening, each and every person in the auditorium sat quietly and waited for Pat's final announcement. You see, some lucky person in the room was going to be leaving with a new F-100. For the 25th anniversary, Pat commissioned The Toy Shop in Rydal, Georgia, to build the giveaway Effie using a No Limit chassis and parts from Billet Specialties, BFGoodrich, and just about every other sponsor of the Supernats. The extremely fortunate winner was Freddy McCall from Rockmart, Georgia, who was just about speechless as he accepted the keys with his wife and son.
The 25th F-100 Supernats turned out to be an overwhelming success and a great experience for everyone who attended. We learned a few things about Effies, forged new friendships, and got a lot of great Fords on film. Love must have been in the air at the Supernats. Not so much for us, but for the two couples that got engaged there (more on each elsewhere in the issue). For more information on Pat Ford's 26th F-100 Supernats, give the promotions office a call at (704) 872-7327 or log on to www.f100supernationals.com.

We're sure that just about everyone in attendance stopped by the giveaway truck and imagined themselves in the driver's seat. The Effie was built by The Toy Shop and features a No limit chassis, Billet Specialties wheels, and BFG Scorcher tires, just for starters.It's all about the shoes, man! Bob Johnson's '56 V-10 big window was featured in our Nov. '01 issue with 17-inch Colorado Customs. We were mesmerized by the Alan Johnson-built truck when we saw it in it's new "shoes." Those are 20-inch painted wheels custom made by Colorado Custom.Know what this is? It's an unrestored small '56 big window on a restored big '56 small window. Say that five times fast! We bet the hauler got as many offers as the haulee.Shaved, laid out on big ol' Hoosiers, and an awesome set of ghost flames gleaming in the sun? We say this is Pro Street done right!The Whipple supercharged small-block was in the vast minority here at the Supernats. Ninety-plus percent of the trucks here were Ford powered.Bill DeGaine made the trek all the way from Cathedral City, CA. Flames were the theme under the hood, covering the air cleaner, valve covers, and inner fenders--and all polished to a mirror finish. Needless to say, Bill's '56 was high in the Top 50 list.This chopped '55 belongs to Mark Shepard from Salisbury, NC. Under the tilt hood and within that powdercoated frame lies a highly detailed 5.0 H.O. powerplant.
Dummy spots, lakes pipes, homemade bed with padded tonneau, Briz bumpers, Echo cans, Firestone FR-721s on baby moons, louvers, and a lot of tuck 'n' roll. We'd say Gary Hosler's '53 is 1962 perfect.Neither Kevin nor myself can ever walk by a truck like this without snapping a picture. In case you can't read it, the front plate says "It's hard to be humble when you drive the best."Benny Burris and his '54 came from Grenada, MS, to be part of the fun. The truck has a nice stance and rides on the ever-venerable Torque Thrust IIs.This '56 panel has a ton of neat little tricks that really made it stand out in the crowd. Well, the Offenhauser-equipped Olds engine probably helped too.Clean and simple is the key for Joseph Olvera's '56. The red steelies are accented by a two-tone red and gray vinyl interior.We didn't see the owner of this truck all weekend. All we can tell you is that it's one of the most immaculate '57s we've ever seen.This "mini '56" panel was found lurking behind his big brother, who placed high in the Top 15 panels.The flamed brandywine paint on this '55 was so spectacular that it wound up in front of our cameras. The two-tone leather interior is nothing to sneeze at, or on, either.
What does it look like when over 1,600 of your Effie-owning friends meet up? Well, this is not even a quarter of it.The swap meet had just about everything from bare cabs to rolling chassis. If you needed something to rebuild an F-100, chances are good you'd find something to drag home. With some of the prices we saw, we're sure some of it went back home with the sellers too.Plenty of performance was on hand. Todd Crow of Chattanooga Valley, GA, gave his '72 a break from its dragstrip duties for a weekend of relaxation. A big-block 429 and C6 provide plenty of punch for those foolish enough to challenge the docile-looking pickup.Several clean F-100s were looking for new owners. One of the cleanest '60s models we saw was this '68 equipped with a 360 and C6 brought out by Jack Harp from Bossville, GA. By Sunday morning, it had a new owner for a lot less than it would have cost to restore one.Jim Blackman brought out his interpretation of a crossbred Lightning and '55 F-100. The truck features a 5.8-liter crate engine, 17-inch Corvette wheels, and all the creature comforts you'd expect in a new truck.Even with all the trick trucks in attendance, the one that our editor Kevin wanted to bring home was Steve Haessly's '56 Custom Cab resto. It was so clean and subtle that it begged to be dropped just a little further and put into daily-driver service.F-1s seem to be gaining in popularity and were very well represented in both restored and modified trucks. Bill and Janie Von Hofen brought their clean driver out from Jacksonville, FL. The basically stock body sans bumpers is highlighted with 18- and 20-inch Billet Specialties wheels wrapped in 245/40/ZR18 and 275/35ZR20 rubber.We don't know if it's finished or not, but Mike and Cheryl Bragg's '56 small window looks good in hot-rod-gray primer and 16-inch Torque Thrusts. The small-block Ford motored them in from Canton, OH.Let's see, we can put our ladder on top and store our tripods, camera gear, and reflectors in the utility bed. The 235ci six-cylinder won't win any races, but it should cut down on the fuel costs. We think we've just found our new company truck. Now all we need to do is convince Kevin Molley to part with it, and then find someone to write the check (oh, Mr. Brennan, we need you sign something).
Ford Racing was on hand to answer any questions about their nearly twin FR100s. These two trucks are anything but trailer queens. Both of them made the trip from California, rolling along with the Pickups Limited Super Cruise. Several participants got a chance to ride shotgun along the way and later attested to the trucks high-performance image.Here's the guy you want to talk to when you've decided your truck's working days are over. Bruce Horkey was displaying several bed wood samples and giving out advice on the proper way to finish them to make sure the boards look good for years to come.Sal and Evan made the trip out from SoCal to show off Total Cost Involved's new F-100 chassis and front suspension kit. If you're looking for a stout foundation to build your next truck on and don't want the trouble of upgrading your truck's 50-year-old original frame, this is definitely one of the best ways to do it.You'd have to have a really nice original bed or a body man willing to work real cheap to use an original bed these days. Pro's Pick was showing just how much cheaper it is to start with new straight steel. They were also more than willing to put you into one of their new fiberglass cabs, as well.Brent VanDervort and his crew from Fat Man Fabrications were showing folks just how easy is to get rid of their straight axles and replace it with an IFS. The hardest part might just be deciding between coils, 'bags, or coilovers. They also brought out a complete rolling chassis with with big-block Ford power.Walton Fabrication was on hand with the new '53-56 F-100 chassis they offer. This one has been fit with a 32-valve DOHC engine and is part of a top-secret project truck that Mr. Walton won't tell us about. He did reassure us, however, that you would be reading about it in Classic Trucks first.No Limit Engineering's Norhett, Amanda, and Michelle were on hand to answer all the tech questions regarding wide ride and fat bar suspensions. Rob, Tim, and Carlos were there too, but they were just eye candy for the female customers.During the awards, things got a little crowded when the recipients of the Top 50 awards took the stage. Pat did get them to settle down long enough for a photo, though.
A look under the tilt hood of the Californian reveals just what it takes to win the most prestigious award at the Supernats.

I'ved been trying Zimbra NE. I got my Android device (HTC Desire fw 2.2) to sync with Zimbra. I tried synching just the calendar, and I did get my new Zimbra appointements on the Android device.
But when I deleted one of the appointements from the Android device, it didn't get deleted from the Zimbra calendar (even after a few refreshes).
It seems I accomplished a one way sync from Zimbra to Android. Is this what I can expect, or is there a trick I don't know about?

Iowa State To Take On Iowa
AMES, Iowa- The Iowa State soccer team will head to Iowa City, Iowa to play the Hawkeyes Friday at 7 p.m. in the annual Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk series.
Last time out
The Cyclones came up short against Minnesota falling 1-0 in a hard fought game for their first loss of the season. Iowa State senior goalkeeper Maddie Jobe recorded five saves during the game bringing her career total to 218, which is the fourth most in school history.
Scouting the Hawkeyes
The Hawkeyes (4-0) are led by junior Cloe Lacasse, who has two goals and one assist so far this season. The Canadian native has been named offensive player of the year for the Hawkeyes for the past two seasons. Last year Lacasse scored 13 goals for the Hawkeyes. Iowa has registered wins against Drake, Western Michigan, UC Davis and Pacific. Iowa leads the all-time series 8-5-2.
What to watch for
The Cyclones will look to stop an Iowa attack that has out scored opponents 7-1 so far this season. Iowa State goalkeeper Maddie Jobe needs just one shutout to tie the Cyclone record for shutouts in her career. Iowa State has yet to give up more than one goal in a game this season.
Results will be available on Cyclones.com at the conclusion of the game.

JONESBORO, Ga. -- Neighbors on Raymond Street in Clayton County say they want Jonesboro Police to step up patrols in their community. They say there has been an unsettling spike in crime in their quiet subdivision.
And the person responsible for the latest break-in there is raising a few eyebrows after being caught on the victim's security camera.
A neatly dressed woman in business attire gets out of a blue Buick LeSabre and calmly walks back and forth between doors, trying to see if someone's home.
When it's clear that the house is empty, she forcefully kicks in the door.
"She leaves the front porch and goes back to her vehicle," said Jonesboro Police Sgt. Brad Pair. "And she goes back around the front porch, and you see a side door start to shake. You see the door bust open, and you see the female there."
The surveillance video shows the woman's car driving back and forth along the street before she pulls into the home's driveway. Her appearance and comportment are very professional and not likely to stir suspicion from neighbors.
Police say when she breaks into the home, she quickly goes after the items that are easy to fence like a laptop, expensive handbag, and cash.
"It was shocking to see a female in business attire break into a house," said Sgt. Pair. "I shouldn't be shocked, but it was shocking."
If you have any information, please call Jonesboro Police at 770-478-7407.

Literal question
How many of these dead sisters died while pregnant, or during childbirth, or during the six weeks after the end of pregnancy?
Interviewer instructions
This question asks about sisters reported in MM8 who died during any of the following three time periods: while pregnant, during childbirth or during the 6 weeks after the end of pregnancy. There are two important issues here. First, respondents should include any sister's death (recorded in MM8) that occurred during these time periods, regardless of the cause of death. For example, if a sister died from an accident and this accident occurred while she was pregnant or during the 6 weeks following her pregnancy, this death should be reported in MM9. It is also important to remember that not all pregnancies produce a live birth. Therefore, the 6-week period after the end of a pregnancy could refer to a 6-week period following a miscarriage, an induced abortion or a stillbirth. Note that there are no skips in questions MM5-MM9. If the respondent states in MM5 that she/he never had any sisters, you should enter '00' for the following four questions, MM6-MM9.

|Mercy Meals of Southwest Nebraska hosts a successful MegaPack Event
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 27 June 2013 16:32
Approximately 80 volunteers came together to make last Saturday's MegaPack Event a success for Mercy Meals of Southwest Nebraska.

The Wauneta Breeze
Approximately 80 volunteers from across the region came together to make the Mercy Meals MegaPack Event a success.
"Mercy Meals while started by a small group, could not exist without the work and effort of those who help pack," said Pastor Keith Wellman, president of Mercy Meals board of directors. "The Lord has blessed us beyond our wildest expectations with both funding and people to do the work."
The week prior to the event a group of approximately 10 people met to put labels on the food bags so the MegaPack Event volunteers would not be slowed down by having to label bags.
Then, on Saturday approximately 70 volunteers and board members packaged meals in three shifts.
All ages have volunteered at Mercy Meals since it started last fall, from the very young to the elderly.
All-in-all the volunteers packed 22,458 meals on Saturday, which equaled 74 boxes and 47 bags.
With Saturday's flash of activity, the organization has now packaged almost a quarter of a million (231,858) meals for anyone who's hungry across the world.
Pastor Wellman said it's been found that anyone who's starving and eats Mercy Meals food for two weeks will come back from starving to normal.
"While we may never know the people who benefit from these meals, we may know them in eternity. But, rest assured, we say our thank you in their place," expressed Pastor Wellman. "Words can not adequately express our appreciation for our tremendous volunteers."
The organization will host fundraisers at Wauneta's Harvest Festival in July and again at the Chase County Fair in August.
Mercy Meals will begin packing meals again in September with two regular packings each month. It will also make every effort to accommodate groups who would like to come together for a special packing event.

Video: Ravens Fans Rejoice
DENVER (WUSA) -- In a wild, double overtime game, the Baltimore Ravens stun the Denver Broncos 38-35 in Mile-High stadium.
The Broncos jumped on the Baltimore Ravens in frigid temps, in the first and the 3rd quarters on Saturday.
It was a 90-yard punt return by Trindon Holliday after a short opening drive by the Ravens. Then Holliday returned the kick-off to start the 3rd quarter for 104 yards for another TD.
The Ravens answered the Broncos with a long TD of their own in the first quarter.
Torrey Smith caught a 59-yard reception for a touchdown after speeding past Champ Bailey's coverage.
The Ravens CB Corey Graham then picked off Peyton Manning, for a pick-6.
Peyton Manning then led the Broncos down the field on some superb passes. He threw a TD to veteran receiver, Brandon Stokely, to tie the game up at 14-14.
It didn't take Manning much longer to take the lead in the game. He threw a touchdown to running back Moreno, to make the score 21-14.
The Ravens then tied the game with :36 left in the half, when Torrey Smith caught his second TD pass from 32 yards away.
The Broncos broke that tie to start the 2nd half with that 104 yard kick-off return.
The Ravens battled back after a couple of controversial calls by the referees. They broke the goal line and tied it up with a Ray Rice touchdown close to the end of the 3rd quarter.
The game continued to take twists and turns. The Broncos took the lead 35-28 until :31 seconds to go, when the Ravens scored an amazing 70-yard TD to Jacoby Jones from Joe Flacco.
The Ravens beat the Broncos in double overtime with a field goal, 38-35.

One only has to look at the final game box to see how the state No. 11-ranked Pasadena City College women's basketball team's second string proved to be an important factor in the Lancers' 54-51, South Coast Conference victory over Cerritos College at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium Wednesday night.
The Lancers' reserves outscored the Falcons' bench, 22-5, and supplied some key defense during certain moments. While the bench scoring was spread out with frosh guard Desiree Loving scoring nine points (three assists and four rebounds) to lead the bunch, it was enough to allow for an off scoring night by the PCC starting five.
Ghazarian's point total was significant in that four of her field goals were 2-point shots as she has found ways to score other than her usual 3-point shooting.
PCC improved to 15-5 overall and 5-3 in SCC play. Cerritos dropped to 11-8 and also 5-3 in the conference. The Lancers have won six of their last seven games, including three straight.
From the bench, frosh forward Brandi DuBose added four points and four rebounds, first-year forward Sarah Jackson had four points, three rebounds and two steals, and letterman guard Kahlia Theus tallied five points.
In the first half, Cerritos led 15-10 before the Lancers went on a 17-3 run to grab a commanding 27-18 halftime lead. PCC would go ahead by 10, but the Falcons stormed back as they made six second-half 3-point bombs, including three by Angela Pena to cut the lead to 50-49 with 48 seconds left. The Lancers, though, kept their composure and Shay Jackson and Martinez sank two free throws each down the stretch to clinch the triumph.
Pena led the Falcons with 20 points, 4-for-4 on threes, and Diamond Roberts added 13 points and nine rebounds. Cerritos hurt itself with terrible free throw shooting, making only 4 of 14 shots from the line.
"It's a grudge match often when we play Cerritos," said PCC head coach Joe Peron, whose team's rivalry with the Falcons has seemingly trumped the one with Mt. San Antonio in recent seasons.
"The games are tough, and emotions are high. This was hard-fought by both sides and fortunately we played solid defense. Getting some production from the bench was very important."
The Lancers won't play again until Wednesday, Jan. 30 when they host powerful No. 7-ranked Long Beach City College in a 5 p.m. tip-off.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (USA Today) - Vice President Biden huddled with House Democrats on Tuesday as the Republican-led chamber debated when to take up a proposal designed to avoid the tax hikes and budget cuts associated with the fiscal cliff.
The flurry of House activity came just hours after the Senate approved an agreement in the wee hours of New Year's Day, the deadline for the fiscal cliff.
The plan worked out between the White House and Senate leaders would raise taxes on the wealthy, eliminate some -- but not all -- tax hikes for the middle class, and defer a series of budget cuts for two months.
It's not known when, or even if, the House will vote on the package, which critics say does little to reduce the nation's debt and only delays a looming battle over the debt ceiling.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, met with his caucus early Tuesday afternoon.
Republicans are debating whether to amend the Senate passed package to add additional spending cuts to appease their conservative flank. Some prominent House conservatives -- including Reps. Justin Amash and Jason Chaffetz -- have already said they will oppose it
House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., the 2012 Republican vice presidential nominee, declined to talk to reporters on his way into the closed door GOP meeting. "Happy New Year's, guys," he said.
Ryan is widely viewed as a prospective candidate in the 2016 presidential election; two additional potential GOP candidates, Sens. Marco Rubio and Rand Paul, voted against the bill early Tuesday.
Under the Senate deal, taxes would remain steady for the middle class and rise at incomes over $400,000 for individuals and $450,000 for couples - levels higher than President Obama had campaigned for in his successful drive for a second term in office.
Spending cuts totaling $24 billion over two months aimed at the Pentagon and domestic programs would be deferred. That would allow the White House and lawmakers time to regroup before plunging very quickly into a new round of budget brinkmanship certain to revolve around Republican calls to rein in the cost of Medicare and other government benefit programs.
Shortly after the Senate vote, President Obama said, "While neither Democrats nor Republicans got everything they wanted, this agreement is the right thing to do for our country and the House should pass it without delay."
Obama also said the bill takes a balanced approach to shrinking the U.S. deficit by "investing in (the) middle class" while "asking the wealthy to pay a little more."
One set of taxes is set to go up in 2013: The deal does not address the end of the payroll tax holiday on Tuesday. That tax will rise by 2%, back to its 2010 level.
The deal also stops scheduled pay increases for Congress set for spring 2013 and includes a nine-month extension of the farm bill, which had been delayed for months because of differences between the House and Senate versions of the legislation that sets U.S. agricultural policy every five years.
The agreement does not address any increase in the nation's debt ceiling, which -- combined with the delay of automatic spending cuts -- sets up the distinct possibility of another cliff-like budget battle in February.
The omission of the debt ceiling dismayed some liberal Democrats, including Sens. Tom Harkin of Iowa and Sherrod Brown of Ohio. Their criticism prompted Biden to visit Capitol Hill late Monday.
"He's here to hear members' concerns and respond to them," said Reid spokesman Adam Jentleson.
The White House and Congress strike fiscal cliff deal hours before midnight deadline
Senate approves fiscal cliff legislation 89-8 early Tuesday
House debates when to take up the proposal, which critics say won't reduce nation's debt
Vice President Biden huddled with House Democrats on Tuesday as the Republican-led chamber debated when to take up a proposal designed to avoid the tax hikes and budget cuts associated with the fiscal cliff.
"He's here to hear members' concerns and respond to them," said Reid spokesman Adam Jentleson.
"The argument is that this is the best that can be done on a bipartisan basis," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., when asked about the case the vice president had delivered behind closed doors.
Biden played a critical role in working out the proposal with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Feinstein said. "I think it was very important," she said, noting that McConnell and Biden "have a long prior experience" working together. "That's the reason this is bipartisan."
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said he would put pressure on the House to pass the measure.
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif, did not exactly endorse the deal, saying in a statement: "When a final agreement is reached and passed by the Senate, I will present it to the House Democratic Caucus."
In a joint statement from House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio and other GOP leaders, they announced the House will "honor its commitment" to take up the Senate bill. They also left open the possibility that the House could seek to amend the deal until their members were given an opportunity to review the deal.
It was unclear how much support the package will have in the House, but McConnell spokesman Don Stewart was optimistic the chamber could approve the package. "(McConnell) has spoken to the speaker throughout the entire process," said Stewart.
Biden has proven a late but potentially crucial player in the budget negotiations. Frustrated by his failure to make progress with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., over the weekend, McConnell called on Biden to step in and help move the talks forward. The two have remained in constant contact since then, McConnell said. "I'm happy to report the effort has been a successful one," he said.

A protester interrupted Tony Blair's testimony at the Leveson Inquiry on Monday, shouting: "The man is a war criminal!"
The intruder, a white male in his 40s, was forcibly removed from the room after entering through the non-public part of the Royal Court of Justice.
Before being wrestled out of the room, the protester shouted: "This man should be arrested for war crimes... JPMorgan paid him off for the Iraq War... three months after he invaded Iraq he held up the Iraq bank for £20bn. He was then paid $6bn a year by JPMorgan and still is... the man is a war criminal."
After the incident, a man identified himself to reporters as David Lawley Wakelin from the Alternative Iraq Enquiry. He spoke as security guards escorted him through the Royal Courts of Justice.
It is understood the protester, who burst into the hearing directly behind Lord Justice Leveson, managed to get past security-coded doors to access the judges' corridor leading to courtroom 73. He was subsequently arrested and released without charge.
Following the incident, a different protester threw an egg at the former PM's car as he left the inquiry, according to reports.
Ian Jones
Lord Justice Leveson has ordered an immediate investigation into how the man gained access.
He said: "I would like to find out how this gentleman managed to access the court through what's supposed to be a secure corridor and I'll have an investigation undertaken about that immediately."
Blair remained calm throughout the disturbance.
After the removal of the protester, Mr Blair denied his allegations.
He told the hearing: "What he said about Iraq and JP Morgan is completely untrue.
"I've never had a discussion with them about that."
Even Robert Jay was lightly ruffled by the intruder
A spokesman for Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service said the Service took security very seriously at all of their venues.
"An investigation has been ordered into an incident at the Leveson Inquiry, Royal Courts of Justice, today.
"It would be inappropriate to pre-empt the findings of this investigation," he added.
When the hearing reconvened for the afternoon, Lord Justice Leveson told the court the Inquiry and HMCTS took the incident "extremely seriously" and apologised for the breach.
Jonnie Marbles
He said: "Considerable effort has been put into ensuring all witnesses can give their evidence in a safe and secure environment and I very much regret what has happened.
"An investigation is being undertaken and I will be giving consideration to the steps that can be taken and should be
taken against this particular intruder.
"Efforts will be redoubled to ensure that incidents of this nature don't recur.
"I repeat my apologies to Mr Blair and indeed to everyone else who was involved in or following our inquiry."
Earlier, Blair said he felt the power of the British media was unhealthy while he was PM - but chose not to take it on as it would have prevented him from pursuing any other policies while in power.
On arriving to give evidence at the inquiry, the former PM had been greeted by around two dozen or so protesters as he arrived at the courts this morning.
They waved banners reading "Troops home", "Bliar" and "Afghanistan out".
A man, reportedly David Lawley Wakelin, was led away from the Royal Courts by police

Blair's time in front of Leveson has come to a close. Towards the end it was less of a grilling more of a cosy fireside chat.
Join us tomorrow when we will hear from education secretary (and former Times journalist) Michael Gove and home secretary Theresa May.
Lord Justice Leveson just asked Blair what may have been the longest question ever asked. The line that will come as a relief to many was "I have absolutely no interest in imperilling the freedom of the press".
Tom Watson has posted a quick response on his blog to Blair's answers about his resignation. You can read it here:
Here is a picture of the protester, named as David Lawley-Wakelin, being led away by police.
|@ BBCNormanS : TB extolling the virtues of US papers over UK press. Er..but have u read them ? Dullsville Central #leveson #blair
Blair is comparing the British media to the US media. He says American papers are capable of having a editorial line while at the same time reporting the "facts" as facts.
The collective response from many British journalists on Twitter is to argue that US papers are "dull".
Blair has moved on to talk about the nature of news in an era of Twitter and 24-hour news channels. He says there is a "race to the bottom" which is damaging to the political debate.
"These guys have got to say something and they just say the same thing they were saying a few moments ago," he observes.
Blair says one cabinet minister once came to him to resign as he had read in the newspapers that he was going to be sacked.
He says he had to spend half an hour persuading him that he was never going to be fired in the first place.
Blair says he sometimes made ministers resigned even though they had done nothing wrong as the press coverage was becoming too damaging.
He specifically cites the second time Peter Mandelson was forced to quit the government.
Tony Blair is asked about Labour MP Tom Watson, who resigned from his government after calling on him to resign.
"I was prime minister, he had effecievely taken part in the coup in 2006 against a prime minister," Blair says.
Blair says Watson resigned "literally moments" before he fired him. "You can't remain a minister if you called for the PM to go"
Blair says that his allies wanted to "go on the attack" but he said he decided he would have to announce when he would leave No.10 in favour of Gordon Brown.
Blair says The Sun was "out of order" when it published a full scale attack on Gordon Brown for making errors in a letter he wrote to a British soldier killed in Afghanistan.
In January 2009 the tabloid published a picture of a letter in which the-then prime minister referred to the mother of 20-year-old Jamie Janes as "Mrs James".
Giving evidence to the Leveson Inquiry Rebekah Brooks, the former chief executive of News International, said an "incredibly aggressive and angry" Brown had phoned her to complain and that she sympathised with his view.
Blair is back up and Leveson is apologising to the former PM for the protester.
He said: "Considerable effort has been taken that all witnesses can give evidence in a safe and secure environment, I regret what has happened and an investigation is being undertaken."
The inquiry has taken a break for an hour now. Don't worry! Blair will be back from 1pm.
So far the former prime minister has reminded us why he was such an effective operator. Smooth as ever he effectively took control of the proceedings, animated hands and all.
His key message was that he did not do any sort of deal with Rupert Murdoch and that while he would have liked to take on the power of the press he wanted to get on with public service reform.
The other point of note was of course the protestor bursting in, something that is likely to grab the headlines.
A interesting sidebar: While the inquiry has been going on Guido Fawkes has posted this fantastic video of the modern Downing Street press operation at work.
Downing Street's Craig Oliver is captured giving the BBC's chief political correspondent a right telling off.
Back to the substance of the questioning this is the key line that Blair has been pushing all day: "I don't know a policy that we changes as a result of Rupert Murdoch".
A video has been posted online of the moment the intruder burst into the court. He begins his tirade with the words: "excuse me, this man is a war criminal". How polite.
So that's two inquiries he has running now. Busy man.
|@ JoeWatts_ : Blair was fairly astute to get his rebuttal in straight away. There is no doubt that will be a major part of the story tomorrow.
|@ hopisen : The way Blair rebutted then dryly pointed out to Leveson that a politician has to always be aware of how media will report events was meta.
The demonstrator shouted at Blair accusing him of taking money from the bank JP Morgan to promote the war in Iraq. After being nailed by security he was dragged from the court.
Blair takes a moment to deny the charge that he is a war criminal - unsurprisingly.
A win for Leveson security there. The judge is furious, in his understated way.
Perhaps it was inevitable. A protestor has burst into the court room: "The man is a war criminal" he shouts before getting bundled out of the room.
Blair has returned to why he chose not to 'take on' the media upon coming to office.
"I was not going to have the Labour Party coming back into power with a programme of change for the coutnry and having the centre piece to do with media ownership, I thought that would have been a distraction and wrong," he says.
Blair says new technology such has Twitter has fundamentally changed the way politics works as stories move much quicker."The business of politics has become acutely more difficult," he says.
Blair tells the inquiry that his "minimum objective" in courting the Murdoch press was to stop it from "taring us to pieces" while the maximum was to get its support.
"I did not change our position on core policy issues at all," Blair says.
Tony Blair says there was " no deal" with Murdoch on media law in the UK "either express or implied".
"To be fair he never sought such a thing," Blair adds.
Previous Labour witnesses including Alastair Campbell, Lord Mandelson and Tessa Jowell have all been quizzed over whether Blair made a deal with Murdoch to pass legislation favoured by News Corp in exchange for favourable press coverage.
After a short break Blair is back and now the questioning has moved specifically onto the Murdochs.
Blair says that if Murdoch had decided to "wage war" on New Labour then he would have stood up to him.
"If they had started to treat me as they had Neil Kinnock, I would have fought back in a very tough way," he says.
Blair says he does not think Rupert Murdoch simply backs the winner. He says the media mogul has "very strong political views" which influence which party he decides his papers should support.
|@ tombradby : Like him or loathe him, Blair is a brilliant performer. There is just no one anywhere near as good on the scene these days.
Blair says that while he was close to Rebekah Brooks during his time as prime minister that was not the crucial relationship as she did not control the editorial line of The Sun (which she edited).
"Bluntly the decision maker was not Rebekah Brooks," he says. It is clear he means Rupert Murdoch was.
