Thomasville leaders seek prayers for councilman, fire chief
Published: Wednesday, January 15, 2014 at 2:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 15, 2014 at 2:18 p.m.
Thomasville officials are asking citizens to keep a city councilman and the fire chief in their prayers, as the two continue to battle serious illnesses at hospitals.
Thomasville City Councilman Scott Styers was first treated at Novant Health Thomasville Medical Center for flu-like symptoms, which developed into pneumonia. He was recently transferred to Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center in Winston-Salem and is in intensive care and serious condition, said Thomasville City Manager Kelly Craver.
Thomasville Fire Chief Marty Dailey is also in serious condition and being treated in the intensive care unit at Thomasville Medical Center after a scheduled gastrointestinal surgery and second emergency surgery, Craver said.
"I and the staff have spent the last week in prayer for these two servants of our city," Craver said Wednesday morning. "We don't just say it, we are family and always have been. It's times like these when families come together for support."
The Thomasville City Council decided this week to postpone its retreat scheduled for Jan. 25 while Styers remains hospitalized. Don Crafford, a division chief for the Thomasville Fire Department, is serving as the active chief while Dailey is away.
Craver said family members of both men have remained by the side of their loved ones in the hospital, adding that firefighters have also stayed with Dailey's wife, Karen, during the process for support.
"We are asking to remember these people in our prayers and also the family, as they are with these two fine gentlemen, who we cherish as friends and servants of the city," Thomasville Mayor Joe Bennett said.
Styers, 61, a self-employed businessman, is serving his fourth two-year term on the council. Dailey, 52, has served as fire chief since 1997 and has worked for the fire department for close to 30 years.
Thomasville City Councilwoman Pat Shelton said she has gone to family, friends and even social media outlets to request prayers for the two men.
"I believe in the power of prayer, and that's what we can do right now for our friends," Shelton said. "Let's not forget their families: Paige, Scott's wife, and Karen, Marty's wife. The most difficult thing someone has to do is not being able to do anything. When you're sitting there and watching your loved one on a ventilator or respirator, and there's nothing you can do for them, it's heartbreaking."

Looking to bring your gaming, music, and video audio to a new level? Polk Audio announced June, 3, 2014 that their latest bookshelf loudspeaker the Hampden is now available. One of the unique things about these speakers is that they're designed to be either a desktop or an extension of a larger home theater system. And thanks to Bluetooth, the Hampden will step up the audio on your tablets and cellphones too.
Related: Polk enters gaming audio market with the Melee Headphone and N1 Sound Bar
You'll notice immediately that the Hampden doesn't look like other speakers: It boasts an elegant all-wood cabinet with a white glass front with a rotary wheel for volume control. Certainly more attractive than the drab black boxes that currently sit on our desk.
Another unique feature is that the Hampden is angled up, to direct sound powered by two 1-inch soft-dome silk/polymer tweeters and two 4.5-inch polypropylene woofers with rubber surrounds at listeners. Each driver and tweeter also comes with a dedicated amplifier, creating an exceptionally natural sound and clarity throughout the frequency range. Additionally, Polk added in a fully digital amp, which bypasses a computer's digital to analog converter and handles all of the Digital Signal Processing when connected via USB.
The Hampden also streams audio via Polk's DJ Stream App, which allows four people to connect to the Hampden as DJs and create a playlist from music libraries on their device. This allows friends to take turns adding music to the playlist, and up to 128 guests can vote on the music or become an "active DJ" if one of the four connected people disconnects. Certainly an interesting party feature we're looking forward to testing out.
According toMichael DiTullo, the chief design officer of sound united.
With Hampden, we wanted to create a home audio solution that brings great sound and increased functionality to the desktop while reflecting the retro design aesthetic seen in our recently launched Heritage Collection of personal audio accessories. Hampden captures the essence of a classic pair of Polk speakers, featuring a timeless yet minimalist design that fits well in the home office or living room. By adding USB connectivity, Bluetooth wireless technology and compatibility with our DJ Stream App, users now have more listening options and access to an interactive element that creates a more social and sharable music playing experience.
The Hampden is available for $399.95 at www.polkaudio.com and select retailers including: Crutchfield, Stereo Advantage and Worldwide Stereo. The DJ Stream app is also available for free download from the Apple Store and Google Play.

Nathan Palmer celebrates debut EP release with concert in Elkhart
Elkhart native Nathan Palmer returned to his hometown, where he gave a concert to celebrate the release of his debut EP, "R.I.P. 2 my Heart."
ELKHART — A lively crowd packed the Northern Indiana Event Center's ballroom Saturday night, April 12, where Elkhart native and Broncos wide receiver Nathan Palmer performed songs from his debut EP, "R.I.P. 2 my Heart."
Palmer's concert in Elkhart was the first since the release of the EP he has worked on for the past few years and recorded over the last year.
The event was part of the Michiana Music Conference, an event for anyone interested in becoming part of the music industry.
David Gary, who helped organize the conference, said he hopes it becomes an annual event. He said it was encouraging to to see the turnout for the workshop, which was held earlier in the day; about 20 people attended the workshops.
Endesha Bonner grew up across the street from where Palmer lived, and they were close friends, he said. Palmer called Bonner, Renee Robinson and other friends with the idea of collaborating at the music conference.
"I thought the opening acts were really good," he said. "These guys are talented, and this goes back to how Nate is as a person, because he could have just done the show himself, but he allowed these guys to show what they could do and get their shine on at the same time. I think they are great artists. I hope this helps them further their career as they move on in their music."
Growing up with Palmer, Bonner saw the motivation that kept his friend going forward in achieving his goals.
"The thing that stands out to me most about Nate is even as a young kid he had drive," he said. "If his brother or dad weren't around, he would ask me to throw the ball across the yard so he could play catch. If I couldn't do it, you would see him throwing the football at himself. So I guess it's his drive, his vision and passion. I'm extremely proud of the person, the man, he's becoming."
The concert, which started at 8 p.m., featured performances by Quinton Clarkson, Swade, Corey Ronnell, Stuckeyboy with Ball Team and Mercury.
Audrie Pressler, who grew up in Elkhart and went to high school with Palmer, said she drove from Fort Wayne to meet with some friends and attend the concert. Friends and family of Palmer's were there to show their support.
"I would use the word 'live' for this show," she said. "(Elkhart is) a small city. I think it's very important to come out and show support."
Leatra "DD" Scott attended the workshop Saturday morning, and also attended the concert. She was born and raised in Elkhart, and has a degree in marketing and music.
Scott and her friends, Devonae Hunt and Carey Moreno, said they grew up with Palmer and were there to support him. They also knew some of the local artists that opened the show.
Proceeds from the show will go to the Napalm Football Camp, a summer program for children that Palmer started in 2013.
"He truly has love for the city," Bonner said. "He doesn't only want do things for himself, but he wants to bring and share light on all the great things Elkhart has to offer."

Anyone going? I'm going with a couple buddies leaving really early Saturday morning. Didn't know if there was a visitors area to tailgate at. TIA
Was just about to start this thread.
Group of 5 heading down.
Anyone have advice on the best/cheapest places to get tickets? Would scalping be wise?
I started a thread on their scout site....there is good info in the responses.
Scout.com: Iowa State fan traveling to Manhattan
I am going down with my brother in law who is a KSU alum. Will be surrounded by KSU fans but I will represent with cardinal & gold!
We have a group of about 10 heading down Friday night, always have a good time down there. The weather looks MUCH better this go around!
One good thing about having a crappy team is 99% of opposing fans don't see your team as a threat so they're even more hospitable. (Not that KSU had been bad about that before)
KC Alumni Association is bringing 60 Cyclones on a Bus and we're parking on the east side of the stadium - north side of Kimball Ave. Leaving KC at 7 AM arriving Manhattan around 9 AM.
I think the buses from Cyclone Fanatic and the DSM Gridiron Club will be out there too if I am not mistaken.
Let's freaking win a FARMAGEDDON game!
Heading down with a group of 5 early Saturday morning and staying in KC Saturday night. We'll have to check out the alumni association area, especially if that's where CF is setting up shop.
My girlfriend and I are heading down on the gridiron club bus. It's a day trip as we leave early Sat and leave Manhattan after ther game.
I'm heading down with about 11 other college buddies of mine. We'll be roaming around somewhere looking for a place to tailgate as we'll be coming in an RV. We may hit up this Aggieville afterwards as well.
I cannot take two Saturdays off in a row so I am sending Tron Smith on the Fanatic bus in my place. Besides, I am not too sure how welcome I would be on that bus all decked out in my KSU purple.
Seriously, enjoy your trip to Manhattan. Fans of other teams are normally treated very well in Manhattan as long as they conduct themselves like ladies and gentlemen.
Wife and I will be heading up and plan to be there round 10
I'll be there in the sea of purple. Going with my boss which is a KSU graduate and season ticket holder. The last road game I went to was the 2009 game at Nebraska. I believe I'm good luck and will personally guarantee a victory
Heading down this evening with a couple friends. Should be a good time, staying at a buddies in KC tonight then heading there Sat morning.
we'll welcome our fellow land granters. always good to see cyclone fans down here. emaw.

Important role for Mycobacterium tuberculosis UvrD1 in pathogenesis and persistence apart from its function in nucleotide excision repair. Journal of Bacteriology, 194(11):2916-2923.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis survives and replicates in macrophages, where it is exposed to reactive oxygen and nitrogen species that damage DNA. In this study, we investigated the roles of UvrA and UvrD1, thought to be parts of the nucleotide excision repair pathway of M. tuberculosis. Strains in which uvrD1 was inactivated either alone or in conjunction with uvrA were constructed. Inactivation of uvrD1 resulted in a small colony phenotype, although growth in liquid culture was not significantly affected. The sensitivity of the mutant strains to UV irradiation and to mitomycin C highlighted the importance of the targeted genes for nucleotide excision repair. The mutant strains all exhibited heightened susceptibility to representatives of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) and reactive nitrogen intermediates (RNI). The uvrD1 and the uvrA uvrD1 mutants showed decreased intracellular multiplication following infection of macrophages. Most importantly, the uvrA uvrD1 mutant was markedly attenuated following infection of mice by either the aerosol or the intravenous route.

Verification of Mortgage (VOM)
A Verification of Mortgage (VOM) is documentation of a borrower's mortgage payment history that is often required when applying for a loan. In mortgage lending, the VOM is also used to verify the existing balance and monthly payments, and to check for any late payments on the account. A verification of mortgage is one of the many documents needed to prove that a borrower is reputable and capable of paying back the money loaned. The current mortgage holder will provide this mortgage verification to the potential lender.

New Orleans Saints' outlook at linebacker in the 2011 NFL draft:
Level of need: High
Current depth chart:
Outside linebacker: *Scott Shanle, *Jo-Lonn Dunbar, Jonathan Casillas, *Danny Clark, Stanley Arnoux, *Kawika Mitchell, Anthony Waters, Ramon Humber, Ezra Butler.
Inside linebacker: Jonathan Vilma, *Marvin Mitchell.
* potential unrestricted free agents.
Outlook: The outside linebacker spot ranks as the Saints' top immediate need, because their top three starters from last season all remain unsigned. They'll almost certainly address the position somewhere in the first three rounds of the draft. They won't have a ton of worthy players that fit their scheme to choose from in Round 1. Some of the highest-rated outside linebackers are better suited for 3-4 schemes, where they can line up primarily as pass rushers. The Saints could also look to add depth at inside linebacker, especially with current backup Mitchell still unsigned.
Analyzing the top five linebackers in the 2011 NFL draft and whether they'll be available when the Saints pick at No. 24.
Position Player College Available
OLB Von Miller Texas A&M No
OLB Akeem Ayers UCLA Maybe
ILB Martez Wilson Illinois Yes
OLB Brooks Reed Arizona Yes
OLB Bruce Carter///North Carolina///Yes

YOUNGSTOWN — A Mahoning County grand jury today indicted a man and woman charged with the city's first homicide.
The case against Larry Blue, 32, of Parmelee Avenue, and Khadijah Nicole Payden-Briggs, 19, of Maplewood Court, both charged with the shooting death of 52-year-old David Stokes of Columbiana County and the wounding of Matthew Sharp, also of Columbiana County, was directly presented to the grand jury.
Blue faces one count of aggravated murder and two counts of felonious assault. The second felonious assault charge is the result of Blue attempting to shoot a third man riding in the car with Stokes and Sharp.
Blue is in the county jail on a $1.25 million bond.
Payden-Briggs is charged with complicity to aggravated robbery. She is also in jail on a $150,000 bond.
For the complete story, read Friday's Vindicator and Vindy.com
As a previous comments came out when this first went down...
"Life is uncomplicated when you own a ranch home in the burbs, have a job and drive a new car. Race is not the problem but the forced living conditions are."
"Without jobs you will not get a better life. Government can keep you in squalor or take you out of it. Private enterprise is not interested in taking people out of the projects nor is government at this time."
So lets blame this MURDER and 2x Attempted Murder on being forced to live in the projects and no jobs.
Blue seemed to be making money selling drugs. (really think Blue is hire able? Have a feeling he wouldn't pass the easy drug test and with his mile long record seems he has no ambition to be a honest hard working man, just the easy life and prison.)
Employed a assistance in Khadijah Nicole Payden-Briggs, who is only 19 btw, 19 and helping selling drugs, that is being hire-able? Wonder if she would pass the drug test? Highly doubtful. .
So the next MURDER lets see what the excuses will be.
""The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.""

Last month we showed you a bunch of spy shots picturing a mule of the Rolls Royce Phantom sedan, which is currently undergoing its mid-life restyling. Similarly, the coupe version of the famous RR model will is also about to receive some cosmetic change, and here are a few spy shots showing us the relative mule taking on some cold weather testing.
The most visible modifications should be affecting the front end of the car, especially the layout of its head lamps. In fact, just like the aforementioned Phantom sedan mule, this one too sports some smart cammo on the front lights designed to resemble the aesthetics of the current model, making it clear that that is the area where the major changes will happen. As with the sedan version, we suspect that the coupe will feature some minor changes to the interior and infotainment system too, and it is quite likely that some new units with more power and less CO2 emissions will also be added to its engine range.

One of the most notable changes Roger Flint has observed in his 20-year career is a gradual shift in the municipal power balance.
For example, during his tenure as public works and utilities director, Spokane, Wash., moved from a "city manager" form of government to a "strong mayor" government—a trend common to agencies across the country.
"We're moving away from determining the best engineering solution to having to incorporate 'political engineering,'" he says. "It doesn't make it wrong—it just makes it different."
The key to dealing with elected officials and the public is learning to speak their language. "You can't go to a city council meeting and throw out acronyms and go into lengths about physics," he says. "Boil technical issues down to something the average person can understand."
Standing your ground is also important. "Always do the right thing for your community and try not to bow to political pressures," he says. "Work hard to convince the politician that doing the right thing will always lead to the best political result as well. When that happens, the entire community will win."

Practice/Industry Group Overview
Contracting with the U.S. Postal Service is different than contracting with other federal agencies. Key procurement rules, such as the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), do not apply. Instead, the Postal Service has its own special set of procurement rules and regulations. In turn, postal purchasing officials frequently exercise greater discretion than their federal counterparts.
Some federal procurement laws do apply, such as those relating to contract disputes. But even here, differences abound. Contractors can bring their claims to the Postal Service Board of Contract Appeals, a forum dedicated to hearing disputes arising under postal contracts. And in this special procurement world, bid protests are called "disagreements," and are administered internally by a Supplier Dispute Resolution Official. Other differences that impact postal contracting include the use of non-appropriated funds, extensive prequalification, and a unionized workforce.
Our firm understands these legal and cultural differences. Because we are already familiar with these differences, we don't waste your time and increase your legal bill by "getting up to speed" on this special environment.
Having advised hundreds of postal contractors on a wide variety of issues, we use our knowledge to help contractors succeed within this special environment. And we don't just understand postal contracting; we have written the book on it.
While postal contracting is different, postal contractors face many of the same issues as other government contractors. From contract award to contract termination, our attorneys have assisted postal contractors on a wide variety of issues, including:
Representative Experience
Solicitations, Proposals and Protests.
The front end of the procurement process often raises questions, particularly since the Postal Service has its own unique purchasing rules and practices. We help contractors sort through the process and take appropriate legal action when warranted.
Contract Performance Issues.
We help contractors understand their contractual rights and obligations and advise them on issues that arise during the performance of their postal contracts.
Requests for Equitable Adjustment and Claims.
When your performance costs increase due to Postal Service changes or changed conditions, you are entitled to an equitable adjustment to your contract price. We assist contractors in preparing these requests and, if necessary, litigating the resulting claims before the Postal Service Board of Contract Appeals or U.S. Court of Federal Claims.
In terminations for convenience, we advise contractors on what costs are recoverable and help them prepare their claims. In terminations for default, we represent contractors who challenge such actions and who face termination claims.
Fraud and False Claims Investigations.
As with other federal agencies, the Postal Service's Office of Inspector General actively pursues allegations of contract fraud. Our attorneys have assisted postal contractors in more of these matters than any other firm.

text: Just two days after the AP reported on the first-ever tally of faith-based federal funding — over $1.17 billion in 2003 alone, including a number of grants to groups that don't consider themselves religious at all — comes another AP story, reporting on President Bush's intention to persuade states to channel more federal funds to "faith-based organizations." Jim Towey, the director of the White House's Faith-Based and Community Initiatives said the $1.17 billion wasn't enough, and that as states distribute an additional $40 billion in federal money, they need to understand that theycan now fund religious groups too. But lest you think this is all about state choice, Towey also said his office would be monitoring cases where the administration believes that state or local governments are discriminating against religious organizations by keeping the federal money from them, such as a case in Wisconsin this fall, when a city council heard arguments from Americans United for Separation of Church and State opposing a quarter-million dollar grant to a Salvation Army homeless shelter that would also be used for worship activities. Hearing the opposition arguments, apparently, was "unfair" to the faith-based organization. There's a story in these two reports, but if we're not yet sure what it is, it could start with these questions: Why were social service organizations that were always qualified to receive federal aid (like those that distribute HUD funds) given the "faith-based" designation? And at what point does making sure a state understands its options become coercion?

painted watermelon magnets
papier mache watermelon dish
painted vase & mug
(& before glazed & fired in kiln)
Last winter I painted a vase and a large mug at
Color Me Mine
, for my sister Marie & brother-in-law Preston.
I thought the vase and mug turned out very well, and Marie & Preston seemed well pleased with them.
Leslie and I have been going to the
Color Me Mine
studio in south Jersey about once a year for some years now. I have a vase of my own, and 2 mugs, one which I still drink from, and another I've been using as a pencil cup.
partially painted magnets
I found out that there's another studio like this (though not a
Color Me Mine
), where you can paint pottery, in Clarks Summit, but I've not yet gone there.
In May I started painting wooden watermelons, and making them into refrigerator magnets.
And then I came into some old furniture that had seen better days.
painted coffee table
There was a coffee table and one end table that wasn't in the most pristine condition, by any stretch of the imagination. And 2 small sets of drawers, that were varnished dark, but were light wood underneath.
I had originally wanted to strip & stain them all a yellowish blonde wood colour, because most of my other furniture and all the wood in my apartment is blonde.
But the coffee table & end table seemed to be
painted end table
impossible. I even tried staining over stain. And even the yellowish colour stain I got refused to change the mousy gray-brown wood into something that could have possibly fit in with even my hodge podge decor.
encouraged me to try painting them. So I painted them antique white with metallic inca gold trim. And they turned out rather pleasing, I think.
I'm pretty happy with it because up until this year, I've never before had a proper end table. And I've never in my
drawers as they were
life had a coffee table.
The sets of drawers were both better & worse to deal with.
I stripped one and stained it with a yellowish stain. It took several hours just to strip the old varnish off the darn thing. I had never before stripped or stained furniture, so I had
no idea
just how much hard work is involved in the endeavour. Particularly when the furniture had been covered in what
re-stained set of drawers
must've been several layers of thick varnish.
I was pretty happy with the yellowish colour stain finish, even though I, by no means, did a perfect job of it. But it looks well in the nook, so I'm happy with it.
However, by the time I was finished with one of them, I was rather sick of it, so I decided to put off stripping and staining the other for awhile, and just put the other one in the part of the living room with some other dark brown furniture items I have.
partially painted
magnets & papier mache
I then I decided to try my hand at papier mache.
I had done a papier mache mouse in junior high school art class many years ago, and I remembered it was pretty fun.
I had that papier mache mouse for awhile, but I seem to remember having to trash the poor thing because it had gotten torn nearly totally apart, by, oddly enough, a
. Though I can't remember what cat got its claws into the poor thing. It either happened when I lived with my mothers' cats Romeo & Julius, or it happened later, after I got my cat, Nikita.
I had all kinds of ideas for papier mache, but I started by making 2 bowls, since I've always been meaning to get more candy dishes. (As is well known, there's always a lot of candy in my home.)
painted papier mache bowl
I got the idea from some web site someone sent me when I had told them I was thinking about doing papier mache. It was a papier mache bowl painted to look like a watermelon.
Papier Mache - Visitors' Gallery - Glawen - watermelon
My attempt at papier mache has not been anywhere near as neat and tidy, I must say. And that's because papier mache is harder to work with than you'd probably think it would be. I have a lot of respect for some of the papier mache works I've seen photos of on-line, because obviously a lot of patience has gone into them.
However, back in the summer, I never actually finished painting my paper mache bowls, because by July it had gotten
too hot outside to be doing anything enjoyable on my porch. (The summer in Pennsylvania this year was consistently unusually hot... over 90° almost every day!)
But I finally finished painting the bowls, indoors after all, in October.
By this time I had gotten Amoreena, my new kitten, so you can imagine how much fun it was trying to keep her nose and paws off the painting projects while I was working on them.
Amoreena seemed absolutely fascinated by the papier mache in particular for some reason.
Amoreena with the partially painted gold papier mache bowl
I'm thinking it might be because the papier mache glue is made from flour, which, of course, is more or less
, when it comes right down to it. I had an incident back in the summer where I had left the bag of flour I was using, on the porch, overnight, and some member of our backyard wildlife here got into it. One would think that having mixed the flour with newspaper, moreover newspaper
would've tainted the scent of the flour though. And I'm hoping now that the bowls are painted and covered in a sealant, that they won't end up the way the poor junior high school papier mache mouse wound up.
watermelons in the nook
And hopefully the cats won't think destroying watermelons a fun sport, because now my place is filled with watermelon type items, in addition to the ones given to me by others.
(My birthday was in October, and so
gave me a large watermelon bowl, Shelly gave me more watermelon jelly candies, and
gave me watermelon candles.)

Wow! I love your watermelon bowl! I recently became interested in paper mache when I saw some work in a local gallery. It looks like fun!

But don't be fooled... Papier mache might sound like simple fun... but it's a lot more difficult to work with than one might think. It's very messy, difficult to control, and not at all easy to get anything like a smooth surface. But it is also a
stronger than one might expect it to be.

Sarkozy's "Ruthless Us-Against Them Attitude"
"While Ms. Royal has pledged to protect and unite France, Mr. Sarkozy has often taken a ruthless us-against-them attitude, stressing there is no place in France for young people who do not respect the law or for immigrants who do not embrace French values....

"Livid" Conservatives Fueled by "Anger" Over Bush's Immigration Plans
"But the Sept. 11 attacks derailed [President Bush's immigration reform] plan, and by the time he set out to enact it in his second term conservatives were livid over what they called deplorably inadequate efforts to secure the border. That anger, repeated nightly on talk radio and by the CNN host Lou Dobbs, remains, and is seen within the Republican Party as a motivating force for conservative voters in the next presidential election." - Robert Pear and Jim Rutenberg after Senate passage of a Bush-style immigration reform bill with amnesty provisions, May 18.

During the speech, Mr. Giuliani invoked Ms. Royal to imply that Democrats, especially Mrs. Clinton, would bring about 'socialized' health insurance.

Jeffrey Bivens' sentencing on federal charges has once again been rescheduled.
The former Washougal finance director, city councilman and licensed tax attorney pleaded guilty to making materially false statements to the Small Business Administration and Wachovia Bank in October 2010.
Bivens' sentencing hearing has been rescheduled several times due to issues related to his attorney's health and matters still under investigation, said Emily Langlie, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Bivens is now scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Benjamin H. Settle at 11 a.m. March 5.
Under the terms of the plea agreement, Bivens faces five years in prison and shares a portion of the $1.7 million loss associated with the bank and SBA loan.
Bivens represented the owner of a Longview-based disaster restoration company, Charles Prescott Restoration Inc. He assisted in the sale of the company in May 2007 and in obtaining a related loan.
Bivens provided Wachovia Bank with an inaccurate sale price of the business. As a result, the bank agreed to a loan of $2 million, which was guaranteed by the SBA, to the purchaser, according to court documents.
Bivens failed to disclose information to the bank and SBA, and he helped engineer a secret second closing, which he and others concealed from the bank.
In January, Bivens filed a permanent resignation from the Washington State Bar Association in lieu of disbarment. Accompanying the resignation was a $1,000 check to the state bar association to pay for expenses and costs.

City Blogger: Terrace heroes
- 26 November 2013 09:42
- Posted by @BlueWolf1894
Like City, every club has its fair share of celebrity fans, however, Manchester City can go one better than this, for we have ordinary fans who have become celebrity fans in their own right. Here's four of them; and one of them wasn't even human...
Helen "The Bell" Turner
Sadly, Helen left us in 2005, but for over thirty years she showed her fanatical support with the sounding of her infamous bell. It wasn't just the home support that loved her, for she was a firm favourite with many of the players; Gary Owen recalls her being there from his very first day at the club, and even Joe Corrigan would chat with her during matches, after she had given him a sprig of heather for good luck. I suspect that after some matches she had wondered if an entire bush of heather should have been given instead. Yes, I am looking at you 4-0 winners, Sunderland in 1980.
Her best day? Being invited onto the hallowed turf at Maine Road to do a lap of honour with the team after winning the 1976 League Cup. At City's final home match at Maine Road, she was given a minutes standing ovation by the Blues as her bell rang out around the stadium, and, befittingly, received a minutes silence of respect after her passing.
Frank Newton
For younger fans of City, they must often wonder about inflatable bananas (the City club shop sells them). The reason is Frank, and the date was the 15th of August 1987.
It was the first game of the 1987-88 season when City found themselves in Division 2 after being relegated the previous season. The opener was against Plymouth Argyle, and whilst we won 2-1, it was what Frank did that was important.
For whatever reason, Frank brought along an inflatable banana dressed in his City shirt, and throughout the match he waved and bounced it around. As the season wore on, Frank and his banana were seen at every game and, even though no one else joined in, he was unrepentant. What was needed was an extra ingredient: enter stage-right Imre Viradi during the 1-1 draw against West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns in November of that year.
For some reason (divine intervention?), the away support began to chant "Imre Banana"; the perfect storm was born. From that game on, inflatable bananas and a cornucopia of other objects began to appear in the terraces and has continued ever since.
Mavis "Poznan Gran" Goddard
On the 5th February 2011, City were hosting West Bromwich Albion, and early on in the game, the face of elderly Mavis Goddard, who was in the East Stand, flashed up on the big screens; her face was a mix of shock and horror. Instantly, the entire stadium – both sets of fans – began to chant for her to do the Poznan, because, well, why wouldn't you want to see a 76 year old woman jumping up and down?
As soon as Carlos Tevez scored his hat-trick, 'Grandma' happily obliged, and instantly became 'Poznan Gran', much to the delight of the fans, although probably not the Baggies so much, as the match was only thirty-nine minutes old and they were already 3-0 down.
Sadly, Mavis died in December of 2011, mere months after becoming a terrace legend.
Frankie The Chicken
Now whilst one could suggest that the name of chef, Neil Riley, should be mentioned, the glory really goes to who he brought along with him: Frankie. Who was a chicken. And a dead one at that. And a massive Uwe Rösler fan. Apparently.
It was the 1994-95 season, and Frankie started making his appearance at every home game, and would dance and clap his hands wings with every goal. Frankie was enthusiastic, and a big hit with the home support. That is except one person.
It is said that a vegetarian complained about Frankie, and immediately he received a lifetime ban from Maine Road. Shame on you, Mr or Mrs lentil-eater.
Now then, who's ready to step up and be the next celebrity?

Creating a cozy hearth for the family
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence
Green Cleaning, Natural Cleaning, Essential Oils, EOs, Robyn Griggs Lawrence
The noxious smells emitted by most chemical cleaners make housekeeping an unwelcome task. It's hard to give your all to scrubbing the shower when you're about to pass out from the fumes, and that's not the worst of it. Breathing in those chemicals could damage your health. The Environmental Protection Agency cites artificial fragrances in cleaning products as an indoor irritant and pollutant. A single fragrance can include as many as 600 petrochemicals—all within that one innocuous-sounding word "fragrance" on the label. You don't have to put yourself through this.
"Often referred to as nature's living energy, essential oils have so much to offer," Jane Chitty writes in "Herbal Lessons: How to Use Essential Oils" in the Herb Companion. Used for healing since ancient times, these oils defend plants against insects, environmental conditions and disease, and help them grow, live and evolve. Extracted by steam distillation, each oil has a different property, including antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiseptic and more, Chitty writes.
A little lavender essential oil would make her task much more pleasant.
Citrus scents such as lemon, orange or grapefruit act as degreasers, while cinnamon, eucalyptus, ginger, tea tree and thyme are antibacterials. Lavender, rosemary and sweet basil all contain camphor, which is effective in repelling moths and insects. Because I adore the smell of lavender, which has antiseptic and disinfectant properties, I add a few drops to all my cleaning solutions. A quick swipe with lavender-scented vinegar water (about half vinegar, half water) gets rid of garbage pail odors and cleans any surface. The vinegar evaporates quickly, leaving only the fresh clean lavender smell. I also add it to baking soda before I sprinkle it on carpets to freshen and deodorize. Aromatherapists say lavender's scent helps fight depression and ease stress—a welcome fringe benefit to my cleaning day.
In his excellent post, "It's Absolutely Essential That You Read This Blog," Taylor Miller suggests putting a few drops of peppermint essential oil on a napkin and rubbing it over a tungsten lightbulb (this won't work with cooler compact fluorescents) and putting a few drops on new furnace filters to circulate scent throughout the house (refresh every few weeks or so). Using a disinfecting oil such as lavender, tea tree or eucalyptus will also help fight germs and dust mites. To make an air freshener, mix 10 parts vodka with 1 part of your favorite essential oil in a spray bottle. Taylor also adds a couple drops of peppermint oil to his dishwasher with the detergent, so the aroma warms his home as the dishes heat.
When I'm done with my housekeeping, I like to incorporate a few of these finishing touches as well—a sort of garnish on my cleaning feast. I place a cotton ball with a few drops of lavender oil in an open window in spring and summer, or simmer some essential oil-infused water on the stove in winter (cinnamon and clove are great at this time of year).
One final note: Beware of substitutes. In her informative Natural Home & Garden article, "Pure and Simple: Clean Naturally with Plant Essential Oils," Nancy Christie warns that anything labeled "fragrance oil," "nature-identical oil" or "perfume oil" is not 100 percent pure essential oil and likely contains chemicals. Avoid oils in plastic bottles or with rubber eyedropper bulbs in the top, she warns, as these can degrade and contaminate the oil. Look for small (4-ounce or less) dark or opaque glass bottles.

How do I tell FUSE to forget about a stale inode?
Barry Friedman <friedman.barry@...>
I have a filesystem using the lowlevel API where state in my program is represented in FUSE by some files and directories. When I delete the state I tried using fuse_lowlevel_notify_inval_inode() and fuse_lowlevel_notify_inval_entry() to tell FUSE to re-query the file system attributes. If I later re-create the state and I use the same file and directory names and what happens is that somewhere FUSE still has the old inode number so it calls the getattr() callback with this invalid inode number. The strange thing is that I get the lookup() callbacks for the new instance of my directory and I return the new inode numbers via fuse_reply_entry(), but as I said then I get a getattr() call with the old inode number and FUSE seems to want to use that. Is there something else I need to do to make FUSE forget about these stale inode numbers? Thanks, Barry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev

Talisman Digital Edition Gold
Talisman DE early access on steam -- but I got GOLD
I'd be keen to play Talisman DE via early access on Steam (and give feedback!). I got the Gold edition here, assuming that this would let me do that. Oops.
Any chance of GamersGate supplying the Steam key that will let me play the early access version?
I think it will be no, you have to get the key from steam itself, because the game is not steam protection but DRM free, if you buy the game here in Gamersgate then you will get the key from Gamersgate, and so with Steam , if you buy the early access key there.
Gamersgate just gave me the Steam Key/Code. Thank you Gamersgate!
(And it includes Prologue on Steam, too! Yay!)
Blissful happiness, here I come!

College Hockey:Fleming takes charge of Manhattanville crease
Brian Fleming could tell you what watching and waiting is like.
The Manhattanville College sophomore goaltender spent last season observing former Valiants netminder Pierre Olivier-Lemieux start all but three games during the 2011-12 campaign. This year though, the workhorse from Quebec wasn't between the Manhattanville pipes to start a season for the first time since 2008, after playing in 68 games over the past three years.
When the Valiants faced off at defending ECAC West champion Hobart earlier this month, it was Fleming who got the call.
"It was a completely different atmosphere," said Fleming recently. "You knew P.O. was going to be the starter; but this year, I knew it was kind of wide-open. I felt confident I could take the job and run with it, and that's what I've been doing."
He stopped 33 shots in a season-opening 2-0 loss on Nov. 2, but then outdid himself the next night against the ninth-ranked Statesmen when he turned aside a career-high 51 of 55 shots as the Valiants managed a 4-4 tie.
Manhattanville actually raced back from a 3-1 deficit with three goals in the first five minutes of the third period to take a 4-3 lead in the rematch, but Hobart's Terence O'Neill tied it with less than five minutes remaining in regulation. Fleming then made three stops in the extra session for the Valiants to salvage a point in the standings. He had earlier made 12 stops in the first period, and 18 saves apiece in the second and third stanzas.
For his efforts in rejecting 81 of 87 shots against Hobart, Fleming was tabbed as ECAC West Conference Goaltender of the Week.
"It's been a really good start," said Fleming. "We had a really good precedent going into this season, and we felt confident going in."
Manhattanville coach Arlen Marshall said his goaltenders knew what the situation was in the fall, and that Fleming has parlayed a solid summer of preparation into a starting position.
"It's paid off so far," he said.
He also related that the Valiants don't want to rely on a single goaltender as heavily as they did with Olivier-Lemieux the last few winters.
"We'll use a couple this season — maybe a 75-25 split," said Marshall. "Brian is playing like a No. 1 goalie, but a lot can happen in a season."
Fleming was due to finally make his home debut last weekend in a two-game set against ECAC West newcomer Nazareth, but those plans were derailed by the carnage wrought by Hurricane Sandy across the tri-state area in late October. The damage extended to the Valiants' home arena, the Playland Ice Casino in Rye, N.Y.
The two contests versus the Golden Flyers were subsequently moved to the Terry Conners Rink in Stamford, Conn., as was Manhattanville's home game against Morrisville State on Nov. 17.
"It's been a little tough," admitted Fleming. "Our (home) rink is only 15 minutes away, but it's only an extra 5 minutes now (to the practice rink)."
Another change is that players now have to pile onto a bus to go to Manhattanville's morning practices, also in Stamford, instead of driving their own cars and enjoying a leisurely breakfast at some point.
That's among some of the other things they're getting used to.
"There's no locker room, and you have to walk around the corner to get to the showers," added Fleming. "Hopefully we'll get back to Playland and get the ball rolling."
"We've logged in some ice sessions," said Marshall of both the Manhattanville men's and women's teams, who will alternate between the Terry Conners Rink and the new Chelsea Piers Connecticut. "It's been hectic the last two weeks."
When they'll finally get back to Rye is unknown.
"It's up in the air," said Marshall, a former Valiants forward. "It's out of our control, but we like playing on the road."
Fleming, who hails from Saint John, N.B., saw his first collegiate action a year ago, stopping 24 of 27 shots in a loss at Western New England on Nov. 22, 2011. His next two appearances came at Morrisville State, where he stopped two shots in just over three minutes of play, and at Hobart, where he had an 18-save performance in just over 37 minutes. He was then on the bench for the season-ending 6-2 loss to Hobart in the first round of the ECAC West Tournament on Feb. 25.
Fleming finally earned his first career NCAA victory in the first game against Nazareth last Friday, as he stopped all but one of 22 shots in a 4-1 Manhattanville win, and also earned second star of the game honors. He then made 22 saves the following night in a 5-3 triumph to complete the Valiants' two-step sweep and also move them into first place in the ECAC West by a point over Neumann.
Through four games this season, Fleming had a 2-1-1 record with a 2.46 goals-against average and a .927 save percentage in just under 244 total minutes played. Nationally, he was seventh in goals-against average among NCAA Division III goaltenders that had played at least four games through Nov. 11. He was also 16th in Division III in minutes played, and in the top 20 in save percentage. He had also stopped 127 out of 137 shots against — and of the 10 goals he had surrendered so far, four came on opposing power plays.
Fleming decided on Manhattanville after looking at several other schools, including Hobart, Southern Maine, and Neumann.
"I didn't shop around too much," he recalled of finally choosing the school in Purchase, N.Y. "I came to campus and fell in love with it. The location is unbelievable, and New York City is only a half-hour away by train. You can't ask for much more, and also the hockey program has been great the last few years."
Fleming, who is considering majoring in either finance or biology, played for the Atlantic Junior Hockey League's Northern Cyclones in Hudson, N.H., in 2010-11, where he recorded a 2.30 goals-against average and a .920 save percentage in 32 games. A four-time AJHL Goalie of the Week selection, he was also named to the 2010-11 AJHL North All-Star Team.
Now he's looking to accomplish the same, or close to it, at the college level — eventually, anyway.
"I'm really just hoping to take it one game at a time," he said. "We hopped into the season pretty quick, and with the storm and all, you just try to focus on the little things right now."
He sure isn't waiting and watching anymore.
