How defeatist!More of us should write our elected officials, e.g.,http://www.whitehouse.gov/contactObama was prepared to open more offshore drilling until BP screwed it up for so many. We need to educate as many as possible about the real issue, which is poor cementing jobs that led to environmental damage. See http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Business_%26_Finance/Investments/Stocks_%28A_to_Z%29/Stocks_G/threadview?bn=111173&tid=524&mid=536 which states it briefly and clearly.The industry needs to take the lead and fix this problem and then publicize that they did so.Only then will Gasfrac really be able to take off when their advantage of preserving scarce water resources and not presenting any possibility of polluting rivers can be more universally recognized.
Here's the text of my message to my elected officials. If you agree, won't you join me in educating your friends, e.g. through social media, and also contacting your elected officials?I'm all for MUCH MORE energy independence, the wars we're less likely to enter, and the JOBS it will create. This link briefly and to the point explains the key problem few understand that should be relatively easy to fix and regulate that preserves our environment in the process.http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Busine...(key issue is the cement jobs must be perfect at the water table level)There is also a company called Gasfrac (which full disclosure I am a stock holder for) that use none of our scare water resources in the process.I want my President to understand and teach this basic point, then support Natural Gas production in North America, and lead the charge for better Natural gas distribution along Interstates and a move toward (at the least) Trucking to use Natural Gas.

1 Attachment(s)
Just for you Rebecca ;)
I'm knitting this in Knitpicks Decadnce (fab scarf yarn) on US13 needles. I just grabbed the lace pattern from some book....
CO a multiple of 9 sts + 4 (I did 31 sts)
Row 1 & 3: Purl
Row 2: K3, *YO, K2, SSK, K2tog, K2, YO, K1*, K2
Row 4: K2, *YO, K2, SSK, K2tog, K2, YO, K1*, K3
That purple looks DELICIOUS!!
:doh: AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!
Where was this lace pattern two weeks ago!!!
I've been trying to do something in lace to kind of dip my toes in, but I couldn't find a lace pattern that looked easy enough to memorize... this would have been perfect!!
I'm writing it down right now.....
It looks really pretty, I love the purple :inlove:
OOOOOOOH! Love that color! :heart:
Re: WIP -- lace scarf
That is simply GAWGEOUS, Dahlin'....GAWGEOUS!!! I'm so loving the color :heart: &, of course, the lace ;)
You know what's funny...neither picture shows the actual color of the yarn...the avatar pic is way too purple, and the scarf pic is way too blue. It really is a fabulous color...more of a deep plum. ;)

I've had wide pegs on my wishlist for a while now and I only wish I would have purchased them sooner. My drz400sm sees 80% road &20% dirt. These pegs are comfortable and give good feedback on and off road. For the money you can't go wrong. Easy install too.

These are great Pegs very durable, However if you ride a lot of Muddy rough wet Rocky conditions i would recommend IMS "Pro series" Pegs they're a little more but have a lot more "Bite" to them. These are great for beginners.
This was the best 80 or so bucks I could of spent. The stock pegs on these old bikes are really narrow and it was easy to slip off the peg. With these I feel more control and comfortable when riding.. .. Only downside was that they didnt hook right up like they say it does. It required me to take a grinder and grind some metal down to make it work but it wasn't the end of the world.. If I need to buy them again I would..
Thanks Motosport
The oversized pegs are very nice however they are extremely dull. If you ever are forced to ride through a muddy corner you will be regretting these pegs. you will need to grind them down if you want grip
I have these pegs on three of my bikes now, they all perform well, the extra width is vey nice both on the track and trail. They look nice, are very strong and fit with very little modification. Better than stock, and much cheaper than other aftemarket pegs that aren't any better. Good quality for the price.
I had my eye on these IMS pegs for a couple years for my trail bike. I finally bought a pair for a recent 10 day Utah desert riding trip and got in 1200 miles with the pegs. Here are my thoughts: 1) the front edge is in the same location forward as the stock pegs. 2) the surface is about 10mm taller than stock. 3) the back edge of the peg is up 10mm and back about 25mm farther than the stock pegs. 4) they extend about 15mm farther out than the stock pegs.
Since they stick out farther I hit them a lot while climbing and descending steep, rocky (bigger than basket ball size) mining roads. Didn't stop me, but it was irritating.
The taller pegs caused my center of gravity to be higher. Wasn't really noticeable, but higher CG is not good.
I liked my weight being back farther while descending very steep trails and in track-stands to choose lines, trials bike style.
Because they are higher and stick out farther, I occasionally smacked my shin while kick starting. That part sucks. I had a huge lump on my right tibia for several days. The skinny new shin plate on the Alpinestar Tech 8's have a soft spot right where my shin hits this peg - so very little protection from my boots. I made sure I sat back pretty far before kicking, which helped.
These things are SWEEEEEEEET! I love em
tryed them today @ Fernley and they worked good, my friends said my boots would get stuck on them but that didn't happen thanx MotoSport! Luv. L.B>
I put these pegs on my kids 125 and now I want a set on my 250F:)
I bought these for my KX500 and have no complaints. Great product at a good price. I'd buy these for my next bike too.
I am surprised at how good they are, they don't cost much, and are much better than stock.
I had to sand/grind them down a little to fit correctly but other then that they are nice wide pegs and an improvement from stock
A good replacement at less than half the cost of the OEM pegs if you break the OEM peg. I wanted something that would not tear up my boots, these have an almost identical pattern to the OEM pegs.
Required some sanding to thin the coating so they would fit and swivel smoothly. That's the only reason they are 4 star instead of 5. Functionally the same as the original pegs, probably even more durable.
Yes, they weigh more than the stock titanium pegs but no rider will notice. The only people who might notice don't shop, they just show up and ride the factory bike.
I put these on my drz400, great upgrade, could not ask for anything better.
They r good pegs. they r extremely wide, i put them on my 50 and i would recommend getting a longer shifter because my foot is crammed now. overall good buy though.
great foot pegs, they are very wide and are easy for your boots to grip onto
wider than stock so you do have a little better footing but pretty much same as stock.
My daughter loves these pegs. Her feet don't slip off the pegs anymore. For the price these can't be beat.
they are ok. they are a little wider and higher than stock. but they are very dull and my feet slip occasionally. good low cost purchase if your foot pegs get bent
My only real complaint is that the foot pegs sit a little higher than stock. Other than that they are cheap with out being garbage. The product description says "better grip than stock" which I didn't find to be true, I'd say equal grip compared to stock. I'm not really complaining however, these are fine replacement pegs if you've got something wrong with the originals.

Yarn Profile: Jaeger Luxury Tweed
First Impressions
The fiber resembled that of Shetland wool but with a slight shimmer that only comes with acrylics...or so I smugly thought. How in the world, I asked myself, could Jaeger call this yarn luxury?
The first clue came when I read the fiber content. No scratchy Shetland or tinsel-like acrylic, only the softest merino blended with a generous portion of alpaca.
The merino provides the matte Shetlandlike fuzz -- only infinitely softer -- while the alpaca's protruding fibers give an angoralike halo and the shimmer I earlier mistook for acrylic.
Knitting Up
Here the yarn has two perfectly even plies, each with a slightly different color saturation. When the plies come together, they produce a more subtle, steady flickering effect.
The yarn is extremely easy to work with, excepting the occasional loose fiber bits that flew around as I worked. But otherwise, the yarn was well-behaved. It slid easily through my fingers, and it clung to my bamboo needles without being too tight and sticky or loose and slippery.
The resulting knitted fabric was perfectly smooth and consistent. The colors' tweedy effect completely concealed any uneven or crooked stitches.
Blocking / Washing
I then rinsed the swatches in cool water rather than warm -- a temperature change normally reserved for the felting process -- and rolled them in a towel to blot dry.
Much to my surprise, the merino relaxed only slightly. It was the alpaca that responded most to the washing, loosening even further to create a truly beautiful fuzz halo. There was no change in gauge, and the swatches all blocked to shape without almost any human intervention.
Friction and wear caused the swatches to release more of their loose fibers, especially the alpaca. With more wear, large waves of loose fiber gathered on the fabric surface -- nothing near as conspicuous as traditional pills -- and were easily removed. Any signs of surface wear were almost completely concealed by the yarn's heathered color and surface halo.
My stitch definition stayed remarkably clear despite the yarn's halo. Any ribbing, Aran stitches, lace work, or cables would look beautiful.
It's UK price of £3.79 translates roughly to $5.94. Depending on how much you purchase, the discount could pay for shipping and still leave you ahead.
Skeins carry a generous 197 yards, which translates into 6 or 7 skeins for a basic women's sweater.
Luxury Tweed produces a beautiful, traditionally "wooly" fabric. I've carried my swatches around all week, subjecting everyone to my usual "touch this!" test. They all shared my surprise at its softness.
And -- my indicator of a truly appealing yarn -- several people requested that I make them sweaters with it. But if I succumb to Luxury Tweed, the first sweater I make will be for me.

Wide Sargasso Sea
by Jean Rhys
Wide Sargasso Sea Part II, Section 7 Summary
- Rochester has a contemplative moment on a cloudy summer day that's more reminiscent of an English summer than a Caribbean one. He mentions that it's almost hurricane season, which runs from August to October.
- His thoughts reflect his conflicting feelings toward Antoinette. He starts by thinking of how much he hates her, how she'll cheat on him with anyone and everyone, how crazy he thinks she is, and how he'll make sure that she loves and is loved by no one. He plans to break her just as a hurricane wind blasts a tree.
- Then his thoughts take a sentimental turn. If only her "blank hating moonstruck face" would show some emotion, if only she would shed a tear, he would embrace and console her – as long as her emotion is presented to him, for him alone to enjoy. He calls her his "mad girl" (II.7.18).
- The subsection ends with his noting that the weather has changed, a reference back to the cock crowing in the previous section.

I have been going to Dr Gary Spierra and associates for about 27 years There was a brief time when my insurance was no longer accepted so I changed insurance
My Dr of 35 years the best!
I have been a patient of Gary's for 40 years. He is a wonderful doctor. He is also a trusted friend.
I have been seeing Dr. Spierer for 20 years. He delivered both of my children. Love him!!
I have been going to Gateway OBGYN for the past five years. My first daughter was delivered by Betsi, and the second one by Dr. Spierer. Both experiences were exceptional. Betsi was outstanding through out the whole delivery. It was my first born and she helped me deliver a 9.6lbs baby without an epidural. Very calm, cool and collective. Loved her. With the second one Dr. Spierer was my doctor and this delivery was great as well. He just has a presence about him that makes you feel that "everything is ok, and you are going to do great". At times the office can be crowded (most of the time), but having them all as Doctors overcomes the waiting time. Amazing group. Love them all.
Dr. Spierer used to be a great, engaged, caring doctor & maybe Obstetrically speaking he is. But for someone like me who is beyond child bearing age I find him to be very rushed & robotic. He asks the typical questions (like "any urinary leakage"?) I said yes for the past couple of years and received no reaction or recommendation in return.Total time spent on my annual exam less than 5 mins.Then I developed a gyn health issue&immediately called him&he said he was leaving on vacation so there wasn't much he could do for me. I found another doctor.
I was recommended by a friend of mine and I am so happy that I was. He delivered my son and it was a great experience he made it easy and comfortable. He is informative and friendly. The office is very busy at times but it's all worth the wait.
Dr Spierer is the best doctor I have every had. He is caring and very professional. He makes you feel comfortable and takes his time explaining everything to you. He was with me through one of the most tragic times of my life and help me through it. He's a great doctor.
Dr. Gary Spierer is a high notch professional and pleasant to deal with. I scheduled an induction as I was 1 week late and he was supposed to deliver my baby the next day. Dr. Inna Tubman (part of his practice) was monitoring me all night in the hospital and when her shift was up he was supposed to take over. The induction went bad and my baby was in distress, so an immediate emergency C-section had to be performed. I was under the impression that Dr. Spierer is going to do it, however he was not around when my son's heart rate was dropping to 30. Laying on the operating table, praying to God for my unborn son, asking where my doctor is and not knowing who was going to cut me It was an awful experience. All worked out itself well, when Dr. Tubman rushed in and did an amazing job on me and saved my baby son.All the doctors in this practice are excellent, but it was meant to be for Dr Tubman to deliver my baby. I have no regrets and do not feel negative. I am glad my son is alive, that's all what manners. Maybe Dr. Spierer will deliver my next baby :)).
wounderful experience

Festival Orchestra
Hills Symphony Orchestra
The Queens Festival
Orchestra Association, Inc.
The Forest Hills
Symphony Orchestra
The QFO/FHSO is
a non-profit, tax-exempt, educational organization whose philosophy is,
in practice, as well as by charter, an educational organization. Our primary
aims are:
1. to teach the
young and offer them skills necessary for an eventual career in music:
2. to offer adults
of varying musical abilities a place to improve their musical skills;
3. for everyone,
to create music in the positive social experience of community service.
We are a community
made up of people from the Queens, Nassau, and greater New York Metropolitan
areas whose ages span eight decades from 11 to 92/ we cross all ethnic
lines and include all occupations, from student to retiree. We give three
concerts annually at the Forest Hills Jewish Center and rehearse there
weekly on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 to 10:00 pm.
Since its founding
in 1964, and incorporation in 1969, the orchestra has seen many of its
students members
and soloists graduate to various professional schools
and eventual music careers. For our adult soloists, we have been the platform
for the start of a concert career.
The symphony offers
a service to the Forest Hills community and its surrounding environs. The
elderly, without a comfortable and safe means of transportation do not
seek out musical entertainment outside their neighborhoods. In the daylight
hours they will congregate in a local park, or at a large indoor auditorium.
We aim to be able to bring music to these people where they are without
making them travel a significant distance. For our senior citizen orchestra
members, being able to give these programs would move us closer towards
our desire of community service in the form of musical entertainment. There
is a great deal of spirit that can be galvanized if the proper performing
environment were to exist.
Our regular concert
audience is largely senior citizen. We offer more than 400 tickets per
concert without charge to senior citizen centers and residential homes
for the handicapped in the Forest Hills and Queens County area. Out programs
are designed for this audience and their tastes. This, however, does not
mean that we play down to them. We provide high quality classical and light
classical music for this audience. We offer our programs at 2:00pm on three
Sunday afternoons especially for this audience so that come to and from
the concert does not entail their traveling after dark.
The QFT/FHSO is
embarking on a long-range program designed to upgrade the educational product.
It is called the TEACHER/SECTION LEADER PROGRAM. Each section of the orchestra
will have a section leader in the first chair position at every rehearsal.
These leaders will conduct sectional rehearsals to teach the finer points
of performance based on their own professional experience. In addition,
they will see that the music is correctly marked for greater understanding
of the music. At the concerts these people will add their playing skills
to the performance, thereby firmly grounding what has been taught at the
rehearsals. These sectional leaders can also be called upon to play solos
at concerts where a student soloist is not available.
The program will
start with a core of ten TEACHER/SECTION LEADERS evenly spaced through
the orchestra:
5 string players
2 violins, 1 viola,
1 cello, 1 bass
2 woodwind players
1 oboe, 1 bassoon
2 brass players
1 french horn,
1 trombone
1 percussion player
As funds are available,
extra positions can be added to ensure that each non-professional is near
a "teacher" or an "assistant". This program will improve the playing standards
of the students and community player as well as the ensemble as a whole.
Once established, we feel that we would have an orchestra of great value
to our community and be able to play a more important part in our young
aspiring student musicians as well as our non-professional adult and senior
citizen members.
Salary is a prime
consideration for each of these positions in order that we may be
able to obtain qualifies personnel and create a stable core of musicians.

Look at the file /etc/lilo.conf. Modify the value in "timeout=" (or add
the line if it isn't there). The value is in tenths of a second, so
"timeout=100" gives you ten seconds. Then run, as root,
"/sbin/lilo -C /etc/lilo.conf".

I've lived in a lot of houses over my lifetime and I've had to deal with a multitude of different storage challenges, but the worst by far for me is a too-small kitchen.
I have always loved to cook and bake. I have a crock pot, a bread machine, a stand mixer, a blender, a food processor, a mini-chopper, an electric grill, a coffee maker, a toaster oven and a microwave oven to contend with in my kitchen. Plus a host of bake ware, serve ware and pots and pans. Just the standard stuff. 🙂
When storage space is at an obvious premium, unless you want to store the new juicer in the linen closet, you have to think outside the box.
The best source for unused kitchen storage space I have found are the cabinet doors! There's a wide variety of gadgets out there to store just about anything on a cabinet door. Here are some of my favorites:
Over-the-door-baskets: You can find scads of these in every shape and size these days! Ones made specifically for cleaners, kitchen tools, plastic wraps, even ones for http://www.stacksandstacks.com/3-tier-door-or-wall-pantry-rack/.
Spice racks: Spice racks have come a long way – If you don't have the counter space for a standard spice rack, consider mounting a spice rack to the inside of your cabinet door!
Bag storage:You can find over-the-door and door mountable storage for paper and plastic bags. There are even mountable racks to hold a garbage bag out of sight!
Towel and pot holder storage: These hooks and bars are fantastic! They require no hardware or adhesive, and will keep your pot holders handy and provide an out of the way place to dry your dish towel. Another great idea for towels is the Swing arm towel holder. Four times the towel storage in one place!
Mail and message centers: Something you may not think to store on you cabinet doors are a message center or a place for outgoing mail.
Lid storage: Lids of all kinds are generally flat and easy to store in mountable lid storage racks. There are even racks for plastic lids.
Paper towel storage: Even paper towels can hang over the door and out of site!
I hope this has given you some ideas to tackle some of the storage problems in your kitchen! Know of any other clever cabinet door storage ideas? Let me know in a comment!

The Wytches
August 27, 7:00pm
BUY THE WYTCHES' ALBUM 'ANNABEL DREAM READER' FROM MONDAY 25th AUGUST AT ROUGH TRADE EAST AND COLLECT YOUR WRISTBAND AT THE SAME TIME OR PRE-ORDER THE WYTCHES BUNDLE ONLINE NOW
Formed in Brighton in 2011, The Wytches comprises Kristian Bell (vocals, guitar), Dan Rumsey (bass, vocals) and Gianni Honey (drums). Led by Bell's luminous lyricism, feral delivery and overdriven, undulating Jazzmaster bends, the trio create a sound that is at once raucous and unruly, and yet decorated with evocative, semi-automatic poetry and authentic emotional clout.
Having left Peterborough after feeling stifled by their hometown's inward-looking hardcore scene, Bell and Honey relocated to Brighton in the autumn of 2011, applying to the city's university, which acted as a scholastic smokescreen behind which they could immerse themselves full-blooded in a new musical venture. Enlisting Bournemouth-raised Rumsey on bass - the sole applicant of a sole advert placed on campus - The Wytches quickly established a sound and vision that encompasses the dark arts and the more extreme limits of rock, but which is never prescriptively macabre. Far from it, the band displays a broadness of sound - all at once the songs reference surf, grunge, metalcore and spy movie scores, while never appearing overstated or derivative. Their darkness is filtered through a prismatic lens, surpassing any single label or pigeonhole other bands are often too easily relegated to.
Though new scenery and personnel enabled their sound to mutate, The Wytches have never lost the DIY spirit of their hardcore origins: from the outset self-promoting; printing flyers; pressing their first single, 'Digsaw'; arranging their own tours, occasionally by way of budget public transport; inviting friend of the band Samuel Gull to create their singular artwork; and producing their own videos - all in spite of squeezed funds. It is this relentlessness and resilience that has seen The Wytches headline countless shows across the UK and Europe to date, and act as chief support to Blood Red Shoes, The Cribs, Drenge, METZ, Splashh, amongst others. This hunger to perform exhaustively provided a regular platform to experiment with and develop the songs that would be released as singles throughout 2012-3 on the Hate Hate Hate label ('Beehive Queen', ThunderLizard Revisited EP, 'Robe for Juda'), and amalgamate the thirteen tracks that make up their debut album, Annabel Dream Reader, released on Heavenly Recordings in the Summer of 2014.
Recorded at Liam Watson's 8-track analogue ToeRag Studios in Hackney, Annabel Dream Reader captures faithfully the tumultuous live sound of The Wytches, tracked as it was in two days of fertile outflow under the supervision of producer Bill Ryder-Jones (ex-The Coral). Over the course of the record, Rumsey and Honey provide an airtight, animated rhythmic platform that allows Bell's delay-and-fuzz-riddled Fender and vocals to warble, wrench and waltz through each track without ever spilling into incoherence. Bell admits to being inspired more by singer-songwriters (Elliott Smith, Leonard Cohen, Roland S. Howard) than specific bands, and already he is an assured manipulator of his tools, combining ominous Egyptianesque harmonic-minor scales with acerbic, assonant wordplay, and utilising his voice as an instrument in its own right. Recording to rolling magnetic tape at ToeRag - with little room for error - lends an honesty and immediacy to the trio's performances, and Ryder-Jones ensures cohesion throughout, supplying the softer songs with flourishes of organ, and allowing the self-confessed 'obnoxiously heavy' sections to blister with glorious abandon.
Not ones to navel-gaze or self-aggrandise, The Wytches admit a strong desire to erase and 'switch up' their sound with each album - plans are already afoot for a more intricate, more instrumentally eclectic second album. Persisting with the drive present from the outset, the band are set to tour extensively over the course of 2014 - taking in the UK, Europe and Austin's SXSW Festival in the US - while promoting the album and untethering a slew of singles beginning with a limited edition cassette, 'Gravedweller', their first for Heavenly.
*** Please note, existing pre-orders for the limited gold vinyl edition of this album do NOT guarantee admission to this event - you must pre-order the items linked on this page (regular black vinyl LP or CD, with wristbands). One wristband per purchase.

If it was broadcast on the radio, then it was "given away" to the
public and anyone can legally have a recording of it.
That's the way I see it ...
I know that's not exactly the same way the law sees it however..

Say bye to FCAT in 2015, hi to PARCC
SEBRING - In the next three years, students should get used to more writing during tests, even during math exams, and reading more complex passages that require close, analytical perusal. It's all part of the state's shift toward the Common Core State Standards, which will be manifested most visibly when a new set of tests replaces the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Tests in math, reading and writing in 2015 for grades 3 to 11. FCAT is being replaced by the new Partnership for Assessments of Readiness in College and Careers, or PARCC, testing, which is supposed to be harder, more comprehensive and use more digital media. Highlands County School District's Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction Becky Fleck believes the Common Core State Standards are a good thing for Florida students.In the 2014-15 school year, more than 40 states, including Florida, will implement these curriculum goals that are intended to not only make education more aligned nationwide, prepare students for college, but to put the U.S. on par with the rest of the world. Florida has adopted standards in eight subject areas: language arts (which includes reading and writing), science, math, social studies, visual and performing arts, physical education, health and foreign language. Only reading, writing, science and math are assessed on the FCAT. FCAT testing for all subject areas, except science, will be replaced by PARCC assessments, where students will take a series of exams and the scores will be combined into one final mark. For high school students, PARCC end-of-course math exams in algebra 1 and geometry will replace the state's end-of-course exams in those subjects. PARCC also will include an end-of-course exam in algebra 2. Under the Common Core State Standards, Fleck explained, students have to read more complex passages, where they have to refer back to the reading, defend their responses or pick up information without having a background in that area. "PARCC rewards careful, close reading rather than racing through passages," according to the 27-state consortium, and focuses on "words that matter most — not obscure vocabulary." In math, students will be asked to show how they arrived at their answer, Fleck said. The math tests aim to have a strong focus on important topics "instead of randomly sampling a mile-wide array of topics," according to the Orlando Sentinel. Both exams will include some paper-and-pencil work but also lots of computer-based items, with students clicking, "dragging and dropping" and shading text, among other options. Another example illustrates the changes the Common Core State Standards bring, although kindergarteners are not tested under the FCAT. Kindergartners will need to count up to 100, starting at any number. And they will need to be able to count backward, too, starting at 10. Right now, they must be able to count to 20 out loud, in writing, and using objects, while under the old state standards, they needed to count from 1 to 36. Andy Ford, president of the Florida Education Association, said the Common Core standards "gets us in the right direction," the Sentinel reports. But he said most of the teachers union's criticism of FCAT is not about the test but about "how the test is used." Those complaints likely would remain, if the new tests continue to be used to make high-stakes decisions. A news release from the Florida Department of Education states that under PARCC, a series of assessments throughout the year will be averaged into one score for accountability purposes, "reducing the weight given to a single test administered on a single day, and providing valuable information to students and teachers throughout the year."

Meredith Andrews - Worth It All
Last modified: 15 Feb 2013
Buy '
Worth It All
' at:
Meredith Andrews
has released her new eleven track album titled
'Worth It All'
, produced by Paul Mabury (One Sonic Society, Hillsong). Meredith released her debut album
'The Invitation'
in 2008, receiving recognition as Billboard Magazine's 'Most Promising New Artist'. In 2011 she picked up two Dove Awards for Worship Song of the Year and Praise and Worship Album of the Year for her second album
'As Long As It Takes'
First track
'Open Up The Heavens'
is a song about asking God to pour out His love from heaven. This upbeat opener is a great start to the album. The style of music on this album has that modern pop/rock feel to it. It isn't necessarily anything new in regards to the style of music, but there is so much more to this album than that.
What I enjoyed more than anything on this album was the quality of the songs.
'Not For A Moment [After All]'
has a great melody that makes the song itself a stand out moment of the album. But it's during the track
'Strong God'
that you fully appreciate the beautiful vocals of Meredith. This lady can sing. The tone and quality of her voice is brilliant, complimenting the song very well.
I thought this album was going to be a modern pop album with lyrics about how hard modern life is, and themes that are about being inspired. Of course songs and albums that have those topics on them are very important. But Meredith has released an album that has a modern pop/rock sound with lyrics that would fit into any church setting. I suppose I would compare her to people like Rebecca St James, who also does this very well.
Worth It All
is a great example of what I'm trying to say:
"Forever I will shout Your praises, You are worth it all"
. Amen .
As with some albums, it takes time to really appreciate the quality of the album, and this album took me a few listens to really get it. But once you understand what Meredith is trying to convey to the listener on this album, you can not help but enjoy worshiping God with tracks like
'Burn Away'
, and there are many more like this on the album.
Worth It All
' is a great worship album, full of songs with great melodies. But what really stood out for me was the fact that Meredith knows how to use her voice to glorify God, and on this album she does this amazingly well.

Death is on the table along with poached salmon and quinoa salad.
Robyn Levy is unafraid to talk about her mortality. It has become her best subject.
In 2008, at the age of 43, the Vancouver-based writer and artist was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's disease, and eight months later, withbreast cancer, which resulted in a mastectomy. Her new memoir, Most of Me: Surviving my Medical Meltdown, grew out of the funny e-mail updates she started sending to friends in early 2009 after she underwent an oophorectomy as part of her cancer treatment.
"If you say oophorectomy with a French accent, it sounds very sexy, and not at all like you're getting your ovaries and fallopian tubes out," she explains, dressing up her voice with Parisian flair.
Humour was her saviour. "My family and friends were so worried, I didn't want them to feel that I was really suffering. I wanted to cheer them up a bit." Click here to read the rest of the article.

It's been a strange few days…and I mean that in regards to everything. 這幾天心裡有些奇怪的感覺。。。對很多東西都有點兒怪感覺。
We had a good show in Guangzhou – but later that night I had some strange thoughts and feelings…I'd like to think that they've gotten better but I have no idea what I'm thinking right now. 廣州演出雖然好玩 – 但是我還記得那個晚上差不多兩點鍾左右,我開始有些奇怪感覺。我以為過幾天應該會變正常。。。但是現在還是很奇怪。
Don't worry – this is a blog and I always try to be as honest as possible on this thing. I think this is one of the things that gets me in the most trouble and has been the biggest flaw of King Ly Chee. That I'm too honest and so tons of people don't like us (especially don't like me) for this reason. I was even thinking, what if this band actually did end one day – how many people in Hong Kong would even care? And why would they care? There's no reason…just because we've done stuff to help the heavy music climate in Hong Kong doesn't really mean much to most people here. 放心 – 在這個日記我通常就是很誠實 – 所以我一有什麼想法我就寫或者說。我覺得我這樣的態度是其他人最不喜歡 – 我還是覺得是因為我是這樣所以十分多人不喜歡我也不喜歡我們的樂隊。我這幾天也想過,如果這個樂隊真的需要一天結束 – 在香港有誰會想我們?肯定沒有或者是十分少人。雖然我們為了Hardcore和重型音樂的發展付出了很多,但是後來 – 都沒有那麼多人喜歡我和我們所以他們也不絕的我們付出的有什麼值得欣賞。我懂了他們的想法。
It's all about relationships and the connections that you make with people. I think that will be my biggest regret that I didn't keep some of my thoughts to myself, and instead sacrificed those relationships by being honest about each other's bands etc…我還覺得我最後悔的應該是有些想法和感覺我應該不說出來。這樣我應該可以保留多點關係。
Whatever…I'm here in this predicament now and in this band I think my bro Joe knows me best and knows that I've tried to change as much as possible. Brian has been in the band the next longest (joined in 07) so he also knows that I have changed since those days. I'm SURE he thinks I haven't changed enough though. But that's a different story. 反正。。。我是在這個情況。在這個樂隊最瞭解到我就是我兄弟Joe. 他也知道我已經想改自己 – 也改了很多地方。。。Brian是另外一個成員見到那方面有改 – 但是我知道他肯定會說 – 我改的地方還是不夠好。
Then I get an amazing email from this AWESOME organization called Hardcore Help Foundation who is inviting us put a song on their CD sampler that's coming out at the end of the year. This is a great organization that through hardcore tries to raise money to then help people in need all over the world. Huge bands have worked together with them like Anti-Flag, Biohazard, etc…and they've invited us to put a song on their CD. It's a big deal and I'm really proud that they've even heard of us…有這樣的想法的時候 – 人已經好灰。但是突然收到一個很好的email…讓我記得 – 其實,雖然在香港我有很多錯過的東西,但是香港外面還是越來越多人欣賞我們。今天早上一個特牛逼慈善組織叫Hardcore Help Foundation突然發個email給我們邀請我們參加他們年底的組合CD! 他們將會用這個CD raise錢特意出去幫無辜的國家和地方和人。。。他們是一班hardcore得人來開始一個很有意義的組織! 我們十分proud他們有找我們參加他們的活動。。。Hardcore永遠不只是音樂方式。。。hardcore的意思是比音樂深很多。
If you have time – please read about them 希望大家會花一點時間來看他們的網站: http://www.hardcore-help.com their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TheHHF
Today I'm going to meet a tattoo artist for my arm! Very excited about that…can't wait to get it done. I'm a first grade teacher during the day time so I can't do my entire arm like Joe has, but I will get a half sleeve and I'm excited to see what it'll look like! The only thing I can say is that it has to do with my Pakistani heritage…今天下班之後我約了一個好棒的紋身師傅談我新紋身。這個紋身將會在我的top arm到。只能跟大家說 – 紋身會尊重我巴基斯坦的背景
Alright – I'm off…go listen to some amazing LIVE videos of City & Colour 好了 – 要去睡覺。。。希望大家會享受City & Colour的歌:

We now know that the Volkswagen Golf R is coming to the United States in early 2012. Some are questioning the switch from the VR6 engine found in previous R32 models to a more powerful version of the GTI's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine — but given the high tuning potential of the 2.0T (to say nothing of the number of R32s that have been modified over the years), we thought we would show what the aftermarket could have in store for the R once it arrives.
This car was built as a test mule by software tuner GIAC in conjunction with development partner AWE Tuning. The turbo is a K04 unit as found on both the Golf R and Audi TT-S. It is running pump gas, but is also using a methanol injection system that adds octane as well as cooling the intake charge. Various other modifications were made to the engine, but the rest of the car is largely stock.
The car's best quarter-mile run clocks in at 12.888 seconds at 112.72 mph. The Golf R won't be quite this fast out of the box, but with a little tuning, this video shows the potential is there. While this GTI is running race tires, it also has an open differential so we can expect to see a much harder launch out of the all-wheel drive Golf R. Obviously, bigger turbochargers can be fitted to the GTI or The R, but this is a good representation of what the car will be able to do with just bolt-on modifications. This GTI has roughly $5000 worth of modification into the engine, but roughly $2500 of that figure is in the turbo kit, which is already standard on the Golf R. The greatest percentage of horsepower gains on the Golf R will come from software tuning, typically at a retail cost of well under $1000.
This video was filmed at Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield, California. A list of modifications and specifics on conditions can be found in the video description. Check out the video here.

Plano News Review: March 20, 2012
Greetings everyone. It's been a busy few weeks. We're working on multiple projects here. Spring Break is upon us. I'm soon headed out of town for a journalism conference. And our colleague Jessica Meyers, who covers Plano ISD among other topics, is set to leave us. (Send her your congratulations on Twitter.) With all of that said, it's time to update you on what's been happening in Plano.
– Heavy rains and wind pounded the region on Monday and early Tuesday. Plano was among the harder hit communities, NBC 5 reports. (For a full wrap, click their video reports.)
– At a GOP forum for U.S. Senate Monday in nearby Fairview, former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert assailed his rivals, colleague Tom Benning tells us. The primary is May 29 and voter rich Collin County, as always, is prime territory for Republican candidates.
– Listen up, transit riders. DART will soon start charging for parking at its bustling Parker Road rail station. But Planoites are in luck: They get to park for free. DART has the full details.
Speaking of DART, Plano's deputy city manager Frank Turner recently had some interesting comments about the future of rail in the region. In an interview with the Plano Star-Courier, Turner questioned the area's commitment toward rail when discussing the launch of a new contract bus service in Mesquite. It's worth a read.

With the turn of the calendar to January, the broadcast industry is looking ahead to a new year full of fresh ideas and solutions to help it achieve higher standards of audio in a more efficient fashion. As always, the first batch of trade shows sets the tone.
In the U.S., the two key trade events in January are the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas and the NAMM Show in Anaheim. While neither is broadcast-specific, both conventions have a long history of innovative products and breakthrough technologies with relevance to the increasingly convergent field of broadcast audio. Meanwhile, Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) in Amsterdam and Broadcast Video Expo (BVE) 2012 in London's Earls Court are both gearing up for February exhibitions.
While CES is awash in everything from household appliances to gaming systems, the show has always held a strong audio component. Broadcasters are well served to be aware of the latest developments in audio consumption, and CES is a traditional wellspring of new products and technologies. Anyone paying attention saw the growth in mobile technologies as delivery systems for audio, video and games, and CES is where the next generation of end-user hardware is most likely to surface.
The NAMM Show, on the other hand, is focused primarily on music stores. However, within the acres of flashy electric guitars, band instruments and rock star autograph sessions lies a vital core of pro audio gear. While music stores serve a core of amateur and semi-pro musicians, they do so with the same gear that's used in major recording studios and on high-profile tours. These demanding applications have inspired and popularized such broadcast-standard technologies as computer recording software, wireless in-ear systems and a wealth of related hardware.
Of the early-year conventions, BVE in London offers the most traditional connection to the broadcast industry. With a strong educational component and over 300 exhibiting companies, Broadcast Video Expo is in many ways a preview of April's NAB, with a lot of the major players in European pro audio in attendance. The installation side of the business will be addressed in Amsterdam, where Integrated Systems Europe 2012 will host over 750 exhibitors covering everything from system control and telephony to traditional audio-visual.

For the most comprehensive procedure in sizing pressure reducing valves, it is best to use our ValveMaster software or the Performance Charts in the Engineering Section of the OCV catalog. In the absence of these, the following procedure will get you where you need to be, and enable you to avoid the most common error in sizing PRV's: an oversized valve.
The following procedure takes both factors (flow rate/pressure drop) into account through the use of the flow coefficient, or Cv. The theory is simple: for best results, a PRV should be sized to operate between 10% and 90% of its capacity, or in other words, between 10% and 90% of its wide open Cv. It is a four-step procedure:
Calculate Cv Minimum
Q Minimum = Minimum anticipated flow, GPM
S = Specific gravity of fluid (water = 1.0
P1 = Inlet pressure at Q minimum, psi
Ps = Desire outlet pressure, psi
Calculate Cv Miaximum
Q Max. = Maximum anticipated flow, GPM
P2 = Inlet pressure at Q maximum, psi
Ps = Desired outlet pressure, psi
From the table, find the size that includes both the Cv min. and Cv max. you have calculated in either the globe or angle valve column.
From the table check that the velocity (GPM) at the calculated Q max. does not exceed 25 ft/sec.
Occasionally, the flow range is so wide that both the Cv min. and Cv max. will not fit in the proper range for any one size valve. In such cases, a parallel valve installation, with a smaller valve by passing around a larger one, should be given strong consideration. The valves should be sized so that:

NAPA — 49ers kicker Joe Nedney once dampened a good vacation by calling home.
In April 2000, he was enjoying a lovely time in Europe with his wife, Gina, when he decided to phone his parents. That's when Nedney off-handedly asked about the Raiders' draft.
"They took Janikowski, didn't they?" Nedney finally said.
"I'm sorry," his mom replied.
The Raiders took Sebastian Janikowski with the 17th overall pick, marking the first time a kicker was taken in the first round since 1979.
Even from Italy, the news needed no translation. Nedney was getting the boot.
Looking back almost a decade later, here's a question worth kicking around: Whom would you rather have, Janikowski or Nedney?
Heading into their toe-to-toe meeting in an exhibition game Saturday at Candlestick Park, Nedney has converted 80 percent of his field-goal attempts in his career while Janikowski has hit on 77.2 percent.
The case for Nedney: He has an 87.8 percent success rate (101 of 115) since joining the 49ers in 2005, making him the most accurate kicker in the NFL during that span. He has 19 career winning field goals and has converted 10 onside kicks, the most among active kickers.
The case for Janikowski: He has been better from long range. On attempts from 40-49 yards, he leads Nedney 67.9 percent to 67.0 percent. On attempts from at least 50, Janikowski leads 46.3 percent to 44.8 percent.
Both are record-setters. Janikowski set the Raiders' mark with a career long of 57 yards; Nedney tied Mike Cofer's 49ers mark by hitting from 56.
Janikowski has far more touchbacks, 129 in 141 career games to Nedney's 108 in 153 career games.
All in all, a fair fight between a former first-round pick and an undrafted free agent waived nine times.
"Joe is a great guy and a good kicker," Janikowski said after the 49ers-Raiders joint practice Wednesday. "It's too bad what happened with us."
Once upon a time, Nedney said he held a grudge against Raiders — and against all teams that pushed him out the door.
"I used it as motivation," he said. "I've gotten over that. As you mature, you understand the business side of the game."
These days, he can even look back fondly on his brief tenure in the East Bay, a tenure he sealed with a kick. His last attempt for the Raiders was a 33-yarder to beat the Chiefs in overtime.
It ended an 11-game losing streak in Kansas City and knocked the Chiefs out of the playoffs.
"It was big individually for my career, but Raiders Nation hadn't won in Kansas City in a long time," Nedney recalled. "I had no idea about the magnitude of that kick until the plane ride home. Guys were coming up to me and saying, 'Do you realize how long it's been?' "
Still, though, the Raiders sought an upgrade at his position. Oakland kickers missed 13 field-goal attempts that season (including two in three games by Nedney).
Coach Jon Gruden fell for Janikowski after seeing him in action at the scouting combine, where he once said the kicker "put on an orbital display." Nedney and Michael Husted knew by draft day that they were doomed on the Raiders roster. Nedney considered just walking away, "which is not what I do. So I stayed and I kept working."
Waived as part of the Raiders' last cuts that year, the former Santa Teresa High and San Jose State star signed with Denver a few weeks later. In his first game with the Broncos, he kicked four field goals in a 33-24 victory — against Oakland.
"That one was a little personal," Nedney said. "At that time, I was still upset."
There won't be quite as much emotion Saturday. Nedney is just looking to get into the flow again. He sat out the 49ers' preseason opener to preserve a leg preparing for its 14th NFL season.
Nedney said there will be no extra emotion in facing the Raiders. After all, his schedule is always filled with former employers.
That's why when he got a tattoo on his leg a few years ago, Nedney went with the NFL logo.
"If I got one for every team I've been on," Nedney said, "I'd have logos over both legs with stuff crossed out everywhere."

My 2 year old grandson has had runny green stools, partially digested food, or just water diarrhea for 10 weeks now, and the Doctor isn't as aggressive as I think she should be. They have tested him for infections, and allergies, but it is not going away...HELPREAD MORE
Hi Linda,
You posted your question quite some time ago, but I am curious about the diagnosis and treatment plan. Did your grandson find some relief? I hope you found a good doctor who helped.
There are many reasons for diarrhea and green stools. I do have some sources you might be interested in reading:
What it means when your poop is green
Understanding Changes in Stool
Understanding Acid Reflux: A Doctor Q&A
I hope all is well!
Thanks for your question. You have obviously taken the right first step by talking to a doctor. They are trained pofessionals with a greater understanding of the human body than you or I. However, if you feel that your grandson's doctors are not doing all they can be doing, you should probably sek the opinion of another doctor.
For more undestanding on what to talk to the doctors about, you might find this symptom checker useful. I hope this helps.READ MORE
Our 2 year old daughter is experiencing the same problem, runny green, foul stool, sometimes it runs right out of the diaper! this lates at least 2+weeks and them goes ways and comes back a month or less later. she is loosing weight and has no appetite and is very tiny to start with. We have been through blood tests that have come back negative and have been waiting 3 months to see a pediatrician... Have you found anything out about your grandson yet?READ MORE
I had to put my son on probiotics to help him with his digestion, he is experiencing the same problems but even though it helps the problems have not subsided completely. I was breastfeeding up to 12 months and his stool was and is even now (he is 20 months) smelly and runny or looking as though it was partially or not even digested. I was told initially the breastfeeding was the culprit for the softer stool but now what... nothing has changed. I'm not sure if his condition has affected his weight; he's ribby but the Dr. says he is within his proper pounds for his height which is on the shorter side.READ MORE
I always believe that you need to go with your gut. If you feel his Dr. is not being agressive enough, then please get a second opinion. Diarrhea can lead to very serious medical conditions especially in a 2 year old. Good luck to you and your family.READ MORE

59% of Boomer Moms are buying cell phones – and more – for their adult children.
October 27, 2011 at 3:16 pm in Other Topics by Stephen Reily - VN Founder
I spoke last week at the vibrant Marketing-2-Moms Conference, where I shared some results from our recent "Vibrant Moms" survey. The audience seems even more surprised by those results than we were.
The "Graduate" Mom (and we don't mean Mrs. Robinson)
For many years, marketers have treated Moms as increasingly irrelevant as their children grew older. Believing that children start asserting their own preferences and controlling their own purchase decisions, brands also assume they can ignore these children's mothers.
As a result, by the time a child has graduated from high school (much less college), most marketers treat his or her Mom as an invisible, "mature" woman who sits around in a house dress and waits for the occasional call from her busy children.
Is that stereotype was ever true for what we'll call a "Graduate" Mom, it certainly isn't true now. The vibrant Graduate Mom is doing all the things we celebrate at Vibrant Nation; she might be starting a business, or going back to school herself, or traveling the world with her backpack.
The assumption that her adult children assume responsibility for their own purchases – and their own purchase decisions – is false as well.
She's still paying the bills
We recently asked the vibrant Boomer women we gather at VibrantNation.com what expenses they were paying for their adult children, and here's what they told us:
• 59% of Boomer women are paying for the adult child's cell phone. Shockingly, that percentage remained consistent whether the adult child is 19 or 30. (The women of VibrantNation.com have had a lot to say about this result specifically.)
• 53% of respondents are also paying for insurance.
• 39% are paying their adult child's rent – this is what I call the price of an empty nest.
• 38% are paying for travel (and this does not include travel to and from school).
• 36% are paying for clothing.
• 33% are paying for cars and computers.
• 24% are paying for home furnishings.
(For more information about our survey results, click here.)
These numbers illustrate some stark facts about the Recession, but also some dramatic facts about the changing relationships between Boomer parents and their Millennial/Gen Y children. 84% of our respondents told us that they are paying for more of their adult child's expenses than their parents paid for them. And almost 50% are paying more than $5,000 in annual expenses for their adult children, separate from education expenses/tuition.
This purse has a mind of its own
When a mother is paying directly for so many expenses for her adult children, she has a direct influence on what brands are bought, and what stores are shopped at. If she likes the brand, she's more likely to buy it for herself and her children. If she doesn't like the brand or the store (and I've written about the strong feelings Boomer women have about retailers) she's certainly not going to spend time or dollars there buying clothes with her adult child.
Yet almost no brands or retailers are talking to this women, either for her own shopping dollars or those she spends on her adult children's behalf:
• When will cell providers wake up and market a family plan that meets this Graduate Moms needs?
• When will travel companies speak to the interests of the parents who plan ahead, spend more, and actually want to take their adult children on their trips?
• Car companies ignore the Boomer women who buy more cars (and more expensive cars) after age 50 than before; when will they recognize that these women will also buy cars for the 20-something kids?
The list goes on and on, but if marketers, brands and retailers ever needed an additional reason to engage the Graduate Mom, they've got it now: Win this Boomer woman's business, and she'll bring her adult children along with her.

Lovely plant, I had one here once but too exposed so it died. It's obviously happy where it is
Hello, know nothing about acid/alkaline soils but I have some snowcap in my rockery and is lovely, gives loads of white flowers in the spring to early summer.
Bugle seems to grow any where as well
Hi mary, glad there's someone else who likes it. It's all about individual choice and preferences and what works for you
Great pictures, love the huge strawberry and the hedgehog, how lovely
I like gaillardias, known here as the goblins, very bright
As someone who has just tipped their toe into veg,here's my courgette plants
My understanding is that they are biennual plants so once they flower that's it, their life cycle is complete. I think they are fully hardy so any plants grown from seed this year, will withstand the winter and flower next year, Not sure what you mean by flagged..........do you mean when the flowers are over and seeds are forming?
I've known some that self seed so almost become perennial.
Out of interest the leaves that made it through, are they the ones that are due to flower soon?
You can collect seeds once they have flowered, I would sow them straight off the plant once they are dried enough, that way you should be able to plant them out before the first frost and they will grow next year.
Hope that helps a bit
Sorry can't see them properly, the third one might be a larkspur...are all the pics the same plant?
I don't grow them anymore because they get decimated with rust I have one plant just outside the garden wall which will flower this year, it's not doing too bad but has a little rust on it.
They've come this far think it's worth a go and treating them
How tastes differ.....................I have this here and really like it
The garden was landscaped last year and a couple of small clumps were planted and I like the fact that it's hardy,needs no maintenance, gives plenty of flowers, acts as ground cover and looks lovely hanging over the walls.
If ever I thought it was taking over I would just pull clumps of it up
Turned out to be a day lily
Orange/apricot in colour, looks lovely, especially as it was a freebie
Hello, thanks for the id of no 3 snowberry. I inherited this one and often wondered what it was.
It's on the border of the garden but I find it invasive as it pops up in the beds and is almost impossible to pull out. Don't think it has any useful purpose for nature, so I would be careful of where you plant it.

By John V. Ciani
Moving on to a new school can be a difficult experience for some students, but James Monroe and Murray middle schools are working to make the transition easier for local fifth-grade students.
Both schools hosted their future students Tuesday to give them a glimpse of what awaits them when they start school in August.
Monroe WEB (Where Everybody Belongs) leaders greeted the students as they arrived at the cafeteria, and the band, under the direction of Lisa Austin, and the orchestra, under the direction of maestro Mark Hatter, performed.
Monroe Principal Clara Finneran said the school has three expectations.
"Everything is built around these three expectations," she said. "One of them is pride. One of them is responsibility, and the third one is respect."
She said there are a lot of words that describe what is done at the school and is summed up in one four-word phrase — every Tiger, every day.
Murray Associated Student Body leaders also welcomed fifth-graders to their campus and led them in a number of activities.
They included videos of all the activities during the school year and a fashion show of different spirit ���days.
"We had movie stars walking across the stage, and we had cowboys," said Principal Kirsti Smith. "We had pajamas, crazy hair, crazy hat and cartoon days. Today is just a tiny taste of a bunch of things we have at Murray."
She said the hope is to make the transition easier for incoming students.
"We hope it will," she said. "They get familiar with the campus and get them to meet a couple of kids and meet the teachers."
Both schools also took the soon-to-be students on tours of their campuses.

PORTSMOUTH — Police in Portsmouth and Kittery, Maine, are investigating the theft of scratch tickets from convenience stores in the past few days.
Portsmouth police reported scratch ticket thefts in the city may be linked to similar crimes in other Seacoast communities, although the Kittery and Portsmouth incidents appear to be unrelated.
Information about the incidents was placed on the Portsmouth and Kittery police departments' Facebook pages in recent days.
Portsmouth police said a man, whose image was caught on security camera, attempted to pay for scratch tickets with a credit card that was declined, then took off with the lottery tickets anyway. The incidents occurred at the Big Apple on Lafayette Road and the Mobil Station on Islington Street, police said.
Portsmouth police said the suspect is wanted for questioning in other thefts in Seacoast towns.
Last week, Kittery police released a photo of a man inside the Circle K convenience store on Dec. 15. Police said the suspect stole a book of scratch tickets when the clerk's back was turned. Kittery police asked that anyone who can help identify the suspect call detective Ray Hazen at (207) 439-1638.
Portsmouth police ask people to call CrimeStoppers at 431-1199 or make a tip at www.seacoastcrimestoppers.org.
