LOOK! UP IN THE SKY! IT'S YOUR BUSINESS! - Susan Stavitzski
If you see someone pointing up at the sky and a crowd gathering, would you continue on your way without looking up? Not likely. It's human nature to look because everyone else is looking. It's human nature to buy what everyone else is buying. It's human nature to like what everyone else likes. If there's…

Be Smart - Wear a Helmet
ATV helmets protect your head thereby reducing or eliminating serious injury in the event of a crash. Helmets are deemed crucial enough that 48 states have passed some type of helmet law with 19 of those states requiring mandatory helmet use. However, that's not necessarily the case with ATV riding since you-re on trails, often private, and not on public thoroughfares.
ATV riding is awesome fun - until you get thrown off. Remember, no seat belts. If you're not wearing an ATV helmet fun can turn tragic. It is a no-brainer that riding without an ATV helmet is tempting fate and is very dangerous. Perhaps this is a non-issue since none of us rarely if ever see a rider on the trails without a helmet. ATV helmets are like gas, you can't go riding without it.
What's boosted the number of helmet wearing riders is not only the obvious safety factor but ATV helmets are not what they used to be. They are stylish and constructed with modern technological features that push safety while maintaining the utmost in comfort and freedom of movement. Truth be told, ATV helmets are a part of the riding experience as well as rider image. We look pretty darn cool with one on.
How to Size an ATV Helmet
A properly fitted ATV helmet can play a major role in the outcome of an accident. The first step in finding an ATV helmet is determining your head size. Follow these steps:
- Wrap a soft measuring tape around your head about a half inch above your eyebrows, above your ears and around the back of your head at the largest point.
- Compare your head size with the specific ATV helmet manufacture's size to find a match. Each ATV helmet manufacture provides different sizing charts for their helmets so you will need to compare your helmet size to each brand's sizing.
- Try the helmet on before using it. The helmet should sit squarely on your head with the top of the helmet's eye port just above your eyebrows. A properly fitted ATV helmet will fit snug at first and loosen slightly as it is broken in.
- If the helmet moves or your fingers fit easily between your head and the helmet you'll likely need a smaller size.
Stay safe and get an ATV helmet that fits best. If you have questions about sizing an ATV helmet give one of our experienced staff members a call at 888-676-8853.
ATV Helmets and More

What's an ATV helmet without all the extras? We sell state-of-the-art communication devices with Bluetooth technology that allow you to talk to a passenger or riding partner and/or listen to music or make hands-free phone calls. We have helmet bags, helmet lights so you can keep riding past sunset, and one of our favorites - helmet cameras.

Video: Australian celebrities launch a high-profile campaign for equal marriage
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Great to see Out4Marriage having a global snowball effect. They should get Kylie on board with this, she's massive on gay rights, and is sure to help back something like this!
Would be nice too if she did a video for the UK campaign too.
Excellent news. :D
Do not feed the troll :)
An ignored troll is a manic troll. Enjoy.
An ignored troll is a mad troll is a desperate troll !
Replying to trolls encourages their obsessive behaviour. When ignored, their posting can become increasingly desperate and silly: see the effete and solipsistic "Inspector General" at http://www.pinknews.co.uk/?comments_popup=29048 .
Their posts reflect their own "stuff": abusive parents, religiously-induced guilt, feelings of social inadequacy, loneliness, human neglect, sexual resentment, repressed homosexuality, or who knows what. They are damaged. We would be, too, if we had their sad history. People normally don't feel ok about others when they don't feel ok about themselves.
The self-hating trolls need to be away from their PC and bottle of whisky, instead seeking the compassionate human contact of which they have been deprived.
Some of their language inadvertently betrays more than a mere academic interest in homosexuality. Don't automatically assume these people are bigoted heterosexuals hanging about obsessively on gay websites.
Marriage for him isn't equal either, since he can't marry another man, lol! He's delusional having us believe he's straight, otherwise he wouldn't come here and rant.
looks likew all kinds of things good are happening in AU.
Another stake through the heart of a Pope who grew up in AH's germany and served in his youth corp
Who also hates Jews, not surprising,
Well done, Oz Marie Claire!
Some well-known New Zealanders have put together a more in-your-face video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D_4JwQ2Fug
I did alert PN to this but it's chosen not to highlight it – perhaps because of the expletives?

Minute's applause before kick off
Many of Dave Wagstaffe's former team-mates will join members of his family in paying tribute to the Wolves legend with a minute's applause before Saturday's game with Gillingham at Molineux.
At the request of the Wagstaffe family, supporters at Saturday's game will be asked to join in a minute's applause in memory of the club legend, who passed away on Tuesday at the age of 70.
Former Wolves players invited to be present to pay tribute to their much-loved former colleague include Phil Parkes, John McAlle, John Richards, Kenny Hibbitt, Derek Parkin, Geoff Palmer, Steve Daley, Mel Eves, Willie Carr, Terry Wharton, Gerry O'Hara, Danny Hegan, Fred Davies and Phil Nicholls.
There is also a five-page tribute to the former Wolves winger – who made over 400 appearances for the club during 12 years at Molineux – in the matchday programme, to include of course page 11, and Waggy also features on the cover.
Fans planning to join in the minute's applause are advised to allow plenty of time to enter the stadium well in time for kick off.
There have also been suggestions from supporters on Social Media to also applaud again in the 11th minute of the game, marking the number which Wagstaffe sported during his Wolves career.

HTC Flyer £25 a month and £169 on ThreePocket-lint
HTC might not have officially released the price of its new tablet, the HTC Flyer (reviewed here) in the UK yet, but that hasn't stopped the cheeky chaps at UK mobile operator Three publishing what it is going to be charging for the new 7-inch device.
According to a new catalogue just out, you'll be able to get the HTC Flyer for £169 when you sign up to a 2 year contract at £25 a month.
For that you'll get 15GB of data a month - handy for Flash browsing and downloading movies via HTC's Watch service - letting you surf the web as long as you've got Three coverage.
The HTC Flyer is the latest Android tablet to hit the UK and the first from HTC. It's adapted its Sense User Interface to accommodate the new screen size including a 3G SIM so you can surf on the go.
Other operators, including Vodafone, have confirmed they are stocking the tablet, but have yet to give details on pricing.
Failing that you are able to buy the tablet without contract. Current online prices are around £480.
See what we have to say about the HTC Flyer in our exclusive review

A water pump is only one component of an engine cooling system. You could have a partially clogged radiator, a thermostat that's not opening and closing properly, an air pocket in the system caused by the removal and replacement of the water pump. Recommend getting someone who knows cooling systems to check it out for you.
Depends on what you consider easy. It's possible to fill your system and then spray the entire ac system down with soapy water to watch for air bubbles escaping from the lines, but this is a tedious task. There are cans of refrigerant with uv dye placed in them also, so what you can do is fill your system with one of the uv dye cans and then drive around for ...

Sounds to me like a master cylinder, but hard to say with total certainty. Honestly though, it's worth it to swap you MC rather than getting in a wreck. The part is less than $100 (in my area). Just my 2 cents. :)
I had something similar happen in a 2000 Saturn LS2 (or L200) and it was a problem with the brakes and struts. Certainly a General Motors problem and not the first time I have heard of this.

Why DID my vulnerable sister leave her home to her GP's daughter... then die from an overdose?
- Lucie Rose's original will left her £560,000 estate to her sisters
- They were perplexed to learn that, in the new will, her £250,000 bungalow, its contents and the family Mercedes were left to Sharnika Pillai
- Mrs Rose had never met the daughter of her GP, Dr Chittaranjan Pillai
Lucie Rose's suicide note was a puzzle to her family. The letter was written on high-quality writing paper and sealed in a matching envelope. Yet Mrs Rose was an almost obsessively frugal old lady, who would never, her family say, have dreamed of buying expensive paper.
There was another thing. The note was written in English, but 87-year-old Lucie was German and her written English was poor.
Yet she chose to write this last poignant communication to her loved ones in English. 'I want to be with John,' the note said. 'Please forgive me. I don't want to live any more.'
In the original will of Lucie Rose (right), her £560,000 estate was to be left for her sisters, including Elke (left)
Lucie was referring to Johnny, her husband of 62 years, who had died 20 days before she killed herself with an overdose of pills on November 27, 2010. Her suicide was a shock to her two sisters, Elke and Annaliese, who were further disquieted to later discover that Lucie had changed her will in the brief period between her husband's death and her suicide.
In the original will, Lucie's £560,000 estate, which included her £250,000 bungalow in Mapperley, Nottinghamshire, was to have been divided between the sisters.
The sisters were perplexed to learn that, in the new will, the house, its contents and the family Mercedes had been bequeathed to Sharnika Pillai, the daughter of Mrs Rose's GP, Dr Chittaranjan Pillai. Mrs Rose had never met Sharnika.
The house had no fewer than 75 paintings in it (Lucie kept a close tally of the number), some of which were valuable oil portraits left to her by her wealthy engineer father.
Lucie had also left a very generous cash sum of £300,000 to a man called Terry Jackson, who had taken care of the couple's accounts for many years. A small sum had been bequeathed to charities. Elke was left some jewellery, while Anneliese received nothing.
In her final years Lucie was a thin, frail woman who had breast cancer and suffered with heart problems. According to Elke, she took large quanties of liquid morphine, which left her confused. Neighbours said she appeared to have dementia.
Were her mental faculties really up to making a new will? Certainly, there appeared to be no logic to what she had decided.
Dr Pillai, 63 was not a friend of the couple. Theirs was a purely doctor-patient relationship.
The doctor, who studied medicine at King's College London, is a GP at the Great Plains surgery in Mapperley. His Nottingham-born wife, Ann, 47, is understood to be the practice manager. Sharnika, 23, is listed among the administrative staff.
The couple, who also have a son, Suniel, 20, live in a picturesque extended cottage in the village of Lowdham. Neighbours report that the doctor and his daughter drop by from time to time to tend Mrs Rose's garden, but Sharnika has not moved in, nor has the house been put up for sale. It stands empty. So why has no one moved in?
Lucie's sisters were perplexed to learn her house, its contents and the family Mercedes had been left to Sharnika Pillai, the daughter of Mrs Rose's GP, Dr Chittaranjan Pillai (pictured)
The answer to that question may be connected to the fact that Dr Pillai is under investigation by NHS England over 'medicine management' in connection with Lucie's case. 'There is something very wrong, very troubling, about it all,' says Elke.
As we shall see, there are many aspects of Lucie's story that give cause for alarm.
Her appearance belied a dramatic life story. At first sight, she was an ordinary old lady who led a quiet life with her husband in their bungalow.
She was exceptionally frugal. She would not countenance spending more than £15 a week on food and existed largely on corned beef and eggs. She instructed neighbours who did her shopping not to buy anything unless it was 'on offer'.
No one would have guessed she had hundreds of thousands of pounds in the bank, or valuable paintings in her neat home.
She was born in Breslau in eastern Germany (now part of Poland). Her early life in Breslau was privileged, says Elke: 'She would go dancing on the ice in a blue outfit lined with mink.' At the outbreak of World War II, with the Russian Army advancing, the family fled west and ended up in the city of Osnabruck.
Lucie met a dashing German pilot whom she fell in love with and married, but not long afterwards, his aircraft crashed over Sardinia and he died.
'Lucie was so shocked and bereft she didn't speak for seven months,' says Elke, 69, who still lives in Osnabruck with her husband. Then, Lucie's father got a job with the British Army, working as a clerk, and Johnny Rose became his driver.
'That's how he and Lucie met. Johnny was a wonderful character with a lot of charm,' says Elke.
In 1947 the couple married and came to live in England, settling in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. Johnny worked as a car salesman; Lucie did some office work.
It was a source of sadness to the couple that there were no children but both of them looked upon Elke, 21 years younger than Lucie, as the child they never had.
In the late Eighties, the Roses moved to the bungalow in Mapperley. They would often be seen walking hand-in-hand, and were both quite sociable.
Elke believes they met Terry Jackson, who inherited £300,000 from her will, a few years after they moved to Mapperley. Mr Jackson was working at a bank, and he offered to help them keep their financial affairs in order, an invitation they accepted.
In their final years, however, both suffered with their health and in April 2010, Mr Rose, 86, was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer.
Around this time, according to Elke, Mr Jackson, who is married with a 13-year-old daughter and lives in a modern detached executive style house in Mansfield, told the couple he had been made redundant. He offered to help care for them at this very difficult time.
'Lucie said he was there every day, helping out, going shopping for them. He would be there for six hours a day and sometimes when a Marie Curie nurse couldn't stay the night, he would stop over.'
He also picked up prescriptions for them both, says Elke, which were supplied by Dr Pillai.
Was Lucie fond of Mr Jackson? 'She said she didn't like him, but she needed him,' says Elke. 'She used to say he wanted her money.'
This picture shows Lucie with husband John who died 20 days before she killed herself with an overdose
Indeed, in October 2010, a month before the deaths of Mr and Mrs Rose, the couple gave Mr Jackson a 'lifetime gift' of £150,000.
(After Mrs Rose's death, this gift became the subject of a legal dispute between Mr Jackson and Mrs Rose's sisters and under the terms of an agreement, Mr Jackson returned £125,000 to the sisters.)
On November 7, 2010, Mr Rose passed away. 'Lucie was distraught. They had a wonderful marriage.
They would hold hands while watching television. One couldn't live without the other,' says Elke.
Mr Jackson was a pillar of support during this time. But Elke was surprised when her sister told her it wasn't necessary for her to attend the funeral.
'It was just Lucie, Terry and a couple of neighbours. I thought it strange she didn't want me there.'
After Mr Rose's death, neighbours concerned about Mr Jackson's constant presence at the house, alerted the police but Mrs Rose told officers the concerns were 'nonsense'.
Around this time, there was a meeting at the house between carers and social workers, at which both Mr Jackson and Dr Pillai were in attendance.
Later, Elke was alarmed to receive a phone call from a distressed Lucie in the middle of the night.
'She said: "I'm afraid of the man who looks after me." I asked if she wanted me to come over, but she said no,' says Elke.
'I asked her about it the next day but she could not even remember making the call. That was how confused she was.'
Eleven days after her husband's death, Lucie changed her will. Mr Jackson helpfully facilitated this, contacting a different firm of solicitors to the one Lucie had made her original will with in 2000. He also arranged for representatives of the firm to visit her.
Lucie told the solicitors she wished to leave her house to someone who would 'love it' as she did. She wished the property, its contents and her Mercedes to go to her doctor who had 'been there always'.
But confusingly, in the final document signed by Lucie, it was the GP's daughter that the house was bequeathed to. Terry Jackson was made sole executor and trustee.
Ms Pillai was left with Mrs Rose's house, its contents and the family Mercedes
'I cannot explain that,' says Elke. 'It is odd, as though someone decided it was inappropriate for the doctor to get the house.'
The two solicitors who spoke to Lucie found her to be 'sharp, alert and very able to understand the nature of making a will'. But Elke says her sister, as well as grieving, was often in a state of confusion, exacerbated by taking large amounts of morphine to numb the pain from her cancer.
On November 26, neighbours became concerned that Lucie's house was in darkness. The following day, they entered the property with a spare key and found her body on the floor of her bedroom. She had taken an overdose of painkillers, which Elke says had been prescribed by Dr Pillai.
They found the suicide note on the coffee table in the living room.
Before her husband's death, Lucie had spoken to her sister about the possibility she might take her own life, but she had been clear she would not attempt to take an overdose. Furthermore, in recent weeks she had said that she felt she would be able to cope without Johnny.
It had even been provisionally arranged between the sisters that Elke would visit Lucie in England the following February. 'It's true that my sister had talked about ending her life, but she told me that if she did, she would do it at Dignitas in Switzerland,' says Elke.
'She said she would never take tablets, because you never knew if you had taken the right dose and you might survive and be very ill. But she seemed to have come round to the idea that she could cope without John.
'The suicide note was odd. Using such writing paper was unlike Lucy. She was a lovely, kind person but we used to joke that she was the miser of the family. If she asked a friend to get her this or that at the shops, she would say: "Don't buy it if it's not on offer".
'She never spoke in English if she didn't have to. Her husband Johnny spoke German with her. Never in her life would she write in English.
'Was someone there with her when she died? Did they dictate what to write to her? I don't know, but I feel as though criminal acts have been committed.'
Elke became more uneasy when she established through friends that Lucie had indicated she wanted no one at her funeral other than Terry Jackson — and later found out she had put this stipulation in her will. Because Lucie had made her will with a new firm of solicitors, Elke had no idea how to find out what was in it.
So it was not until the following April, when file notes from the firm were read out at her inquest in Nottingham, that Elke learned the will had been changed.
As well as the house being left to her GP's daughter, Elke was shocked to learn that £300,000 had been left to Mr Jackson. She was left Lucie's two wedding rings, a Longines gold watch, two gold necklaces and two diamond rings. A sum of £5,000 was bequeathed to Dr Pillai's Plains View Surgery.
The inquest heard that neighbours had been concerned about the circumstances surrounding Mrs Rose's death and asked police to investigate.
But the suicide note had been lost and other statements made by neighbours not followed up. The coroner criticised the 'shoddiness' of the Nottinghamshire police investigation, which had concluded there was 'no evidence to suggest any criminal activity and the case was closed'.
The change in the will meant that her doctor's daughter received Mrs Rose's £250,000 bungalow
This week, no one came to the door of Dr Pillai's house, but in a statement issued on his behalf by the Medical Protection Society, he said the surgery had 'engaged fully with the NHS England investigation'.
At his home in Mansfield, when asked if he had manipulated Lucie into changing her will, Mr Jackson said: 'I completely deny these allegations. It is just not true. I was very good friends with John and Lucie.'
Lucie's decision to change her will in favour of her doctor's daughter and Mr Jackson has certainly unsettled older residents in Mapperley.
One elderly gentleman even said he had been to see his solicitor this week to go over his will. 'It's very suspicious what happened with the will. I have been down to the lawyers today to go over my will — you can never be too careful.
'It seemed obvious to me that Lucie had dementia. She and her husband would walk up the road hand-in-hand and he would have to be leading her.
'The couple who are next door to them had a key to the house, but after John died the doctor and the financial adviser asked them to give it back and gave the key to another neighbour who didn't know Lucie so well. None of it seems quite right.'
And Elke cannot rest easy, either.
'An old friend of mine spoke to Lucie just eight weeks before she died and she told him she wanted me to live in the house.
'Then she suddenly changes her mind and leaves it to a young woman she has never met. I cannot accept that is what Lucie would have wanted to do.
'It makes no sense whatsoever.'

Orewa is better prepared for any major emergency following the signing of the Orewa Emergency Response Plan last week.
Civil Defence, along with local emergency services and key community groups, have revised and updated plans for how best to respond to threats such as a tsunami, tropical storm, flooding, infrastructure failure and tidal surges in Orewa.
The document includes alert and warning types, location of evacuation centres, radio stations to tune to, key contacts, and evacuation plans.
A summary pamphlet will be delivered to all Orewa households and businesses. A similar plan for Whangaparaoa was completed in July.
"This plan better links any emergency alert given to the community with all local emergency services and Civil Defence," Hibiscus and Bays Local Board member Greg Sayers says.
He suggests people still keep survival kits ready and have household emergency plans worked out.
For a copy of the plan contact the Auckland Council on 09 301 0101 or visit aucklandcouncil. govt.nz or auckland civildefence.org.nz for information.
Auckland Civil Defence has an application available for smart phones and other devices which can be downloaded by searching the internet for "Auckland Civil Defence".

Okanagan College offered Mike Pogson an opportunity to retrain for a rewarding career in health care at a price he couldn't refuse.
Pogson, who lives in Salmon Arm, completed nine upgrading courses to qualify for entry into the practical nursing diploma program in 2011. The upgrading courses were tuition-free.
"When I found out I could get the prerequisites to get into the nursing program for free, it made going back to school a much more affordable option," he says.
Okanagan College's Foundation programs offer tuition-free upgrading in a variety of subjects including biology, chemistry, computer studies, English, mathematics and social studies, as well preparation for the General Education Development (GED) high-school equivalency test and B.C. Adult Graduation Diploma.
In 2011, Pogson was working in the residential construction industry as a finish carpenter but the market crashed and the jobs had started to dry up. That's when he decided to go back to school.
"With the population aging practical nurses are in high demand and I knew the work would suit my personality," he says.
Not long after Pogson graduated with his Practical Nursing diploma and passed his licensing exam, he landed a job as a licensed Practical Nurse at Mount Ida Mews, a 72-bed complex care community located in Salmon Arm.
"I love what I do now," says Pogson. "Working with seniors is so rewarding. It was worth the time it took to go back to school."
"So many people don't have the prerequisites to enter the programs they want and think that's the end to their career dreams," says Dan Chetner, Instructor and Adult Basic Education coordinator at Okanagan College.
"When they discover they can upgrade at the College, a whole new world of possibilities open up to them," he says. "We get students coming from all situations: those who had difficulty in high school, those who didn't take the credits they need to get into the program they now want to do, and those who want to retool their existing careers."
"My experience with Okanagan College's Foundation program was so positive," says Pogson. "The instructors were great because they got to know me, cared about what my goals were and supported me while I worked toward those goals."
"We hear a lot about the coming skills shortage and many people may feel the opportunity is closed to them because they don't have the prerequisites to access the education or training that will open the door to the career they want to pursue. The upgrading programs we offer may be a solution to that dilemma," says Chetner.
It's not too late to apply for classes starting in September. To find out more visit www.okanagan.bc.ca/upgradetoday.

Samsung reveals Galaxy Grand smartphone with Android Jelly Bean
Handset will ship in dual-SIM version, but relatively low screen resolution for its 5in size
Samsung has announced an upcoming handset dubbed the Galaxy Grand which will run Android Jelly Bean and sport a 5in display but the rest of the specifications suggest it will likely be a low-end device.
Disclosed on Samsung's official global blog, the Galaxy Grand is set to be available in a dual-SIM version that will allow users to manage two separate phone numbers on a single device.
Indications the Galaxy Grand may be more of a value device include its 1.2GHz dual-core processor in place of a faster chip, plus the display which has a WVGA resolution of 800x480 pixels, compared with the 720x1,280 seen in the Galaxy Note 2.
Meanwhile, rumours persist that Samsung may be soon to launch a Galaxy S4, the successor to the immensely popular Galaxy S3, sometime in the next few months.
The Galaxy Grand, which runs Android 4.1.2, is a HSPA+ design with 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS, with 1GB Ram and 8GB flash storage, expandable via microSD to 64GB.
It also sports an 8MP camera, which Samsung claims has zero shutter-lag and features an illumination sensor to ensure clear shots even in dark conditions.
As well as Samsung's S Voice app, the Galaxy Grand has a Direct Call feature that automatically dials a call when you raise the handset to your ear, and Popup Video, which lets users watch video in a pop-up window while running other tasks on the screen.
The Galaxy Grand is set to be available in a dual-SIM version (GT-I9082), set to launch first, while the more conventional single-SIM GT-I9080 will come later.
However, Samsung has not indicated pricing or an exact launch date or which territories the Galaxy Grand will be available in. The firm had not responded to request from V3 or further information at the time of writing.

Sustainability Reporting Tool Introduced
Measurabl has launched a reporting tool for the annual Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) Survey.
GRESB, a sustainability reporting standard for commercial real estate, asset managers and developers, has an annual survey period from April 1 to June 30. More than 50,000 commercial properties were surveyed in 2013 and more are expected this year.
Survey participants can take weeks to gather a format asset-level data for disclosure through GRESB. Measurabl says its cloud-based software automatically collects asset-level data and guides used step-by-step through the reporting process.
According to Measurabl, sustainability reporting presents challenges in three ways. Companies may struggle to get asset-level energy, carbon, water and waste data aggregated in the proper format. That also takes a long time to coordinate data collection in a large organization. Also, responses to the various sustainability standards and formats may be confusing and burdensome.

Just one flaw: it was axed too soon!,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: X-Men: The Hidden Years - Vol. 2 (Paperback)
Just like in volume 1, John Byrne continues recapturing the feel and mood and style of the 1960s X-Men comics, but at the same times producing an updated version: the way he manages to achieve this balanced feeling of modern and old is amazing.
And it makes brilliantly sense: as the Marvel Universe shifts forward in time, then events from its past move from the 1960s to the 1980s and so on... so, it just makes sense that a story set in the Marvel past maintains a feeling of "past", but from a different age.
Byrne's style, both in storytelling and art (not to mention dialogue!) insists on the fact that this is story that fills the missing years from the 1960sì run, but at the same time it manages to persuade us that it took place in the 1980s.
Lots of interesting guests, such as Kraven and the Inhumans and the Eternals (!), great continuity bits hidden here and there as Easter Eggs and a beautiful sense of "adventure as it was done in the old times".
Unfortunately, the series was axed, and this means that at least one lingering plot was unfortunately left unsolved: it's the mystery of Xavier's behavior (or so I believe).
I don't think I'll ever see that one solved, but hope springs eternal... and who knows, maybe one day John Byrne will work on a similar project for the Fantastic Four, showing us how the REAL issue #330 of Fantastic Four should look like!

Henning photographer remembers time with Ali
"Being with Ali was the most awestruck I have every been with somebody," said photographer Dan Broten.
Broten had the rare opportunity approximately 10 years ago to take pictures of Ali and his chef for a magazine article about celebratory chefs. Broten met Ali at his home one week before the photoshoot to scout the area for possible locations to take pictures for the magazine. Shortly after arriving, Ali began doing simple magic tricks and joking around with the crew.
"He was doing magic tricks the first day we met him," said Broten. "He loved magic tricks." read entire story. . . .
Four additional coaches to be hired at Henning
Henning may be one of the smallest schools in the region, but student participation in its three core sports is among the highest in the Park Region Conference.
During its regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday night, the Henning School Board heard from athletic director and boys basketball coach Randy Misegades, girls basketball coach Mike Hepola and volleyball coach Kristy Finck who said those high participation numbers are creating a bit of a strain on the coaching staff.
"Henning is the smallest school in the Park Region, but participation wise we are not," said Misegades. read entire story. . . .
Commissioners discuss county drainfield policy
County Public Works Director Rick West presented to county commissioners a Limiting Layer Determination/Soil Color Policy for the Otter Tail County Land and Resource Office.
The policy is for use in determining the limiting layer for drainfield installations.
Otter Tail County's Public Works Committee sought a guide to provide consistency in the application of the Subsurface Sewage Treatment System rules.
"Biological indicators of soil health are valid tools to evaluate the success of a metal process in which plants remove dangerous elements of compounds from soil or water," said West.
He said that metals have a high density and may be toxic to organisms even at relatively low concentrations.
A motion by County Commissioner Roger Froemming of Parkers Prairie and seconded by Commissioner Doug Huebsch of Perham was unanimously passed. read entire story. . . .
Henning Stitchers continue to create handmade quilts
Quilting can not only be a hobby, but it can be a wonderful way to create memories for generations. Members of the Henning community have formed a quilting group called the Henning Stitchers. The group likes to get together and just have a fun time quilting.
There is an average of seven members of the Henning Stitchers. The stitchers get together every Wednesday at one of the members homes to quilt, and they go to a different home every Wednesday.
Quilting for the members of the club is year round. They spend the year working towards their annual quilt show, which not only showcases their own work, but features a big quilt that the group has hand stitched.. read entire story. . . .
Balmoral site has a rich history
Mention the name Balmoral and what comes to mind most often is the golf course on the south side of Otter Tail Lake.
But for many long-time residents of Otter Tail County, recollections on the old dance hall, no longer at the site, come to mind.
Those who stop at the historic marker near the golf course, along Highway 78, will take note of an historic flour mill, long gone, but established in 1870.
Balmoral Pavilion
fondly remembered
Almost 10 years have gone by since Bette Prescher, who with her late husband, Ed, owned the Balmoral Pavilion at Otter Tail Lake, died and left a legacy.
In its heyday the Balmoral Pavilion was one of the most famous dance halls in west central Minnesota.
That's why, when people drive by the site of the former pavilion just east of the Balmoral Golf Course, they have warm memories. read entire story. . . .

Still reeling, Brits cope with losses
LONDON – John Falding finds comfort in talking, even though the memories haunt him: the phone call from his girlfriend, Anat Rosenberg, to say she was on a bus to work. Then screams, then silence.
Amrit Walia wanted to "go out guns blazing" to retaliate for the death of his 26-year-old schoolmate, Anthony Fatayi-Williams. Calmer now, he is thinking about ways of reaching out to angry young Muslims before they strap on explosives.
A month has passed since four suicide attackers blew themselves up on three London subway lines and a double-decker bus, killing 52 passengers, and those left behind are struggling to come to grips with a day that started out in morning rush-hour routine and ripped their lives apart.
The dead and those who mourn them are a multiethnic, multifaith profile of London. Rosenberg was an Israeli Jew; Falding is English and not Jewish. Fatayi-Williams, born in Nigeria, was a Roman Catholic with a Muslim father; Walia is a Sikh.
Shahara Islam, British-born of Bangladeshi descent, was a bank cashier who attended Friday prayers at her mosque and liked to shop at trendy clothes stores. There was Behnaz Mozakka, a woman from Iran, and Karolina Gluck, a woman from Poland, and Giles Hart, a 55-year-old Englishman honored posthumously by Poland for his support for the anti-Communist Solidarity movement.
There were stories of cruel happenstance, such as the woman who called a relative to say she had emerged safely from the Tube, only for fate to catch up with her minutes later on bus No. 30. Her route to her death was much the same as Rosenberg's.
'The terrible irony'
"It is just so mindless, the whole thing so pointless," said Falding, 62.
He was sitting alone in his central London apartment, surrounded by traces of his girlfriend – photos of her posing in a Roaring '20s glamour outfit, dents from her stiletto heels in the wooden floor.
"The terrible irony," said Falding, "is that it happened here" – in peaceful London, not in her native Israel, where the fear of suicide bombings was burned into her mind.
For some relatives, the agony was compounded by having to wait a week or more for confirmation as investigators picked through the carnage deep underground and in the mangled hull of the bus.
Walia was at first hopeful because a missed call from Fatayi-Williams showed up on his cell phone timed off at 9:57 a.m. – after the bombing. Then he found out the phone's clock was 20 minutes fast.
When the worst was confirmed, he said, "I beat the wall, threw up, cried."
He said his dead friend was "everything to me" – a large, muscular man who looked after the circle of friends, "as odd as this sounds, like a woman in a way. He was the one that cared about us, that believed in us all and kept us boys together."
Now he's thinking of setting up a foundation to send out the message that violence isn't the answer.
"These terrorists are our age; we listen to the same music; we can see what they are about even if we don't understand it," said Walia. He is 26. The bombers were three Britons of Pakistani descent and a Jamaican, aged from 18 to 30.
'Terrorism is not the way'
For the world, Anthony's mother became the face of grief-stricken London as she appeared on TV, awaiting confirmation of her son's death.
"Which cause has been served?" Marie Fatayi-Williams asked. "Certainly not the cause of God, not the cause of Allah. … Anyone who has been misled, or is being misled to believe, that by killing innocent people he or she is serving God should think again because it's not true. Terrorism is not the way."
"Why? I need to know, Anthony needs to know," she said.
If you had to guess …
How many people in Spokane will watch at least parts of the Tour de France on TV? A) Four. B) Maybe 5,000. C) More. D) Other.

Christians should never underestimate the power of Satan and his temptations, the Rev. Billy Graham says in a warning to believers about the the devil's deceptive nature.
Although Satan will always try to convince Christians that his intentions are good, he is in fact "absolutely evil" because "he is absolutely opposed to God and everything God wants to do," Graham explains in a "My Answers" post on the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association website.
"Never underestimate Satan's power, and never underestimate his ability to deceive us and make us think he isn't to be feared. In fact, he even deceives some people into thinking he doesn't exist!" Graham continues. "He is not as powerful as God — but he still is a powerful spiritual force who works against God in every way he possibly can." more >>
As the U.S. presidential elections heat up and campaigns for both leading nominees of political parties are ongoing, 13 companies of the tech industry in the U.S. are pushing for a Technology Sector Presidential Platform, which includes policy recommendations on strengthening cybersecurity, enhancing data privacy, pursuing an active trade agenda, among others.
According to Tech Times, the group sent an open letter to both presidential candidates last May 4, which outlined several policy recommendations that covered issues regarding the development of American skill and talent pool in the 21st century, fostering a business climate that "rewards risk" and "promotes innovation," creating a "fair and open global market for goods and services" and continuing to provide cutting-edge infrastructure that's entreprenuer-friendly.
The letter was signed by representatives of the 13 companies that include: BSA/The Software Alliance, the Consumer Technology Association, the Information Technology Industry Council, Allied for Startups, Internet Association, Computer & Communications Industry Association, Computing Technology Industry Association, Semiconductor Industry Association, Silicon Valley Leadership Group, Software & Information Industry Association, Technology CEO Council, Telecommunications Industry Association and TechNet. more >>

The event takes place in Berlin and for one week, products from big tech companies will be exhibited. In 2015, the IFA was dominated by wearable technologies like smart watches from manufacturers like Samsung, Motorola and Huawei. Smartphones were also a staple.
This year, there are a lot of speculations that the show will be featuring yet another array of innovative products in the field of entertainment as well as in home improvement. more >>
All good things must come to an end and this is the case with Microsoft's offer for a free upgrade to its latest version of its operating system, Windows 10. The end in sight is July 29, 2016 which the company confirmed through their official Windows blog last May 5. Through the blog, the company's Corporate Vice President of Microsoft's Windows and Device Group said that the company offering its latest version of the OS for free was a first for the company and this allowed many people to get their copy of the latest software on their devices. He also said that the time for such offer is already "running out."
According to him, if users fail to upgrade before the July 29 deadline, they will only be able to get Windows 10 on a new device or if they purchase a full version of Windows 10 Home which set one back by $119. Windows 10 Pro on the other hand will cost $199. This means that those who are using the pro versions of Windows 7 and 8.1 will lose their free upgrade to Windows 10 Pro if they do it past the deadline.
The free upgrade offer was made available for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users who have existing devices. Notably, the end of the free upgrade also means that users will no longer be bothered with "Get Window 10" notifications that pop up on their devices. According to a report in The Verge, Microsoft is set to disable the app that sends out these notifications and eventually remove it from devices worldwide after July 29. more >>
It has barely been a year since Apple launched its latest iPhones, the iPhone 6S and the iPhone 6S Plus, but rumors are already rife about the company already working on its next flagship smartphone, the iPhone 7. The latest leak according to a report in Forbes comes courtesy of Japanese blog Macokatara, which claims that the next iPhone will not have the "Smart Connector" feature that is Apple's most recent innovation among its devices.
Macokatara referred to a leaked image of an iPhone 7 prototype, which showed the absence of said feature. The Smart Connector feature was earlier introduced with the new iPad Pro tablet range, which allowed accessories such as a Smart Keyboard to be connected to the tablet via the Lightning port for both data transfer and power. Aside from Apple's own Smart Keyboard, this new innovation also brought about third party keyboards that no longer need batteries or need to be charged.
This feature was initially expected on the iPhone 7 but this recent leak adds on to earlier leaks indicating that the next iPhone 7 will be "missing" some features that the older models have. more >>

WTVC-TV News Channel 9 has added veteran journalist Josh Roe to its main anchor line-up. Mr. Roe joins Kim Chapman, Latricia Thomas, Calvin Sneed and Chief Meteorologist David Glenn. He will co-anchor Live at 5:30 p.m. with Latricia and Live at 11 p.m. with Kim.
Mr. Row will also host a new series that will shine light on the men, women and families of America's armed forces. Mr. Row is also an eight-year veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves.
"The heroes who have fought for this country are all around us, and many of us don't know their names or their stories," said Mr. Roe. "We want to tell those stories so we never forget the sacrifices those men and women have made for all of us and for our country. It's important to honor their service, celebrate what they are doing well, and shine a light on the issues that they face every day."
The title of the series will be "Price of Freedom."
Mr. Roe is a native of Tennessee and graduate of the University of Tennessee. From his first TV news position in Knoxville (WBIR), his career has taken him across the country to Dallas (WFAA/KFWD) and Kalamazoo, MI (WWMT).
"We're excited to welcome Josh to News Channel 9," said WTVC General Manager Mike Costa. "Josh is a great anchor and broadcast professional who will fit in well with the top broadcast news organization in the Tennessee Valley. I'm glad we were able to bring him home to Tennessee."
