WARREN TWP.-After two years of teaching classes about area cemeteries with his wife Nancy, Jim Hoy had a clear favorite: Gravel Bank Cemetery.
"It's a happy cemetery," said Hoy, of Devola, who taught the classes as part of Marietta College's Learning in Retirement program. "One guy had a metal tombstone and he had his sunglasses draped over it and one of the grave sites had a plastic Adirondack chair so you can sit down and have a rest. It' s a cemetery where the dead people are not forgotten. That's what makes it my favorite."
Gravel Bank Cemetery is located on Gravel Bank Road off Ohio 7 in Warren Township, near what was once a school. It sits atop a hill near Midway Machining, Inc. and part of it can be seen from the highway. It has also been referred to as Riverview Cemetery.

ASHLEY RITTENHOUSE The Marietta Times
Dressed as Ephraim Cutler, re-enactor Richard Dean, of Athens, looks over Cutler's grave site in the Gravel Bank Cemetery Friday. There are more than 1,000 people buried in the cemetery, which is owned by Warren Township.
It is one of five owned by the township, according to township trustee Robert Lemasters.
"We take good care of that cemetery. We maintain it and take care of the graves and keep it mowed," Lemasters said.
Lemasters added that it is an active cemetery, although it is running low on space. According to www.findagrave.com, there are 1,213 interments there, with some dating back to the 1800s.
Fact Box
Gravel Bank Cemetery:
- Located near Gravel Bank Road off Ohio 7 in Warren Township.
- One of five cemeteries owned by Warren Township, it is still active.
- One of the most notable people buried there is Ephraim Cutler, known for casting the deciding vote making Ohio a free state at the state's constitutional convention in Chillicothe in 1802.
"We extended the cemetery lots towards the school there so we can get more people from Warren Township in there," he said.
The most well known person buried in Gravel Bank Cemetery is Ephraim Cutler, Washington County's first judge. He was born in Edgartown, Ma. in 1767 and died in 1853, four months after he was injured as a result of his horse slipping on ice.
Athens resident Richard Dean has been an Ephraim Cutler re-enactor for almost 15 years. He said Cutler moved to Ohio because his first wife, Leah Atwood, had fallen ill and somebody convinced them Ohio's climate would be better for her.
They arrived in the Marietta area in 1795. Cutler had homes in Waterford and Constitution and his home in Amesville still stands today.
Cutler is best known for casting the deciding vote making Ohio a free state at the state's constitutional convention in Chillicothe in 1802.
That almost didn't happen, though, as Cutler was ill on the day of the convention and had to be dragged out of bed by Rufus Putnam and Paul Fearing so he could cast his vote.
"Ohio came into the union as a free state by one vote," Dean said. "This set the anti-slavery trend for all other states formed in the Northwest Territory."
Veto Lake was named for Cutler's role in having slavery vetoed in Ohio.

Ritterbush WPA Round-out Acquired
In June 2012, Ducks Unlimited acquired a 120-acre property adjacent to Ritterbush Waterfowl Production Area (WPA) in Franklin County. This parcel contains a large portion of a wetland that also lies on Ritterbush WPA. DU biologists are developing a habitat restoration plan for the site that will be implemented over the next several years. Ultimately, DU's goal is to transfer ownership of the property to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as an important round-out to Ritterbush WPA, providing not only important habitat to waterfowl and other wildlife, but also public recreation opportunities, including hunting. This tract is located in the southwest portion of the Rainwater Basin and will benefit many species, including the endangered whooping crane.

SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. -- Robert M. Taylor, a homeless drifter with a history of alcohol abuse, waived his right to appear at a bail hearing on Wednesday in Washington County Superior Court.
Taylor, 45, was arrested last week on charges that he murdered his mother, severed her head and hand and dumped the body parts in a dumpster behind an apartment complex where she lived at 130 Caswell St., in Narragansett.
He is being held without bail at the Adult Correctional Institutions and did not appear in court.
Taylor has been arrested more than two dozen times over the past 20 years on a variety of charges including breaking and entering, possession of burglary tools, resisting arrest and drunken driving.
Amy Kempe, spokesman for Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin, said that Taylor is scheduled to return to court on July 22 for a bail violation hearing.

LANSING (WILX)-- A private company is taking over the Kenneth A. Hope Soccer Complex in Lansing, and it may mean some soccer teams will need a new place to play.
Effective July 28th, control of the soccer complex goes from the Ingham County to Mid-Michigan Sports Turf LLC. A company associated with the Chill soccer club team.
"There was a soccer club that's well known and very active, that actually wants to manage the facility," said Mayor Virg Bernero.
The complex was under the management of Ingham County for 15 years. Their lease ends next week. But instead of asking the county if it wanted to continue the lease, Mayor Bernero approved the private company without the counties or city councils consent.
"It doesn't ease my mind because the process was very lacking in transparency," said Kara Hope, Ingham County Board Commissioner.
Bernero was able to approve the switch to a private company because the lease is less than 5 years long. The lease is exactly 59 months long, one month short of being 5 years.
The city will be leasing the complex to Mid-Michigan Sports Turf LLC for $1,000 dollars each year. Owner Julie Mullin says she plans on putting a million dollars into the complex before this winter. An improvement after the county was losing money on the park over the past few years. Muillin wants to create three new fields with artificial turf and add lighting to the complex.
Mullin plans on updating the complex, but it also gives Chill's soccer club team first priority over the fields.
"The city attorney developed an agreement that protects all parties, and provides fair and equitable use to the park," assured Bernero.
Bernero may think the Mid Michigan Sports Turf will play fair, but competitors aren't so sure.
"We've been told we'll be able to remain as a customer, but the owner personally called and told me that his club was using the fields Monday through Friday 5-9," said Todd Derby, President of TNT Dynamite soccer club.
Without knowing if they will be getting enough field time at the Hope Complex, the TNT soccer club is looking elsewhere to do business.
"We've been a loyal customer since '99, but we're talking to East Lansing. We're going to be able to play most of our games and training on the East Lansing City Complex."
No matter what though, the five year lease is finalized. Mayor Bernero is confident his decision to go private will be a good one.
"Five years from now I'm very hopeful that we are going to be talking about adding more activities there, maybe softball, maybe rugby. It's going to be a mecca of sports."

Dailey, Larson, Bonnstetter and Hanson highlight night of firsts at Redwood (July 1st, 2012)
Dailey, Larson and Hanson highlight night of firsts at Redwood North Star Series Event
By Ray Beste
Redwood Falls, MN (July 1st, 2012) – In his first ever visit to Redwood Speedway, Armstrong, IA IMCA Modified ace Eric Dailey scored his second straight Powder Werks IMCA North Star Series victory in the division's main event. Rushmore, MN traveler Dustin Larson fended off an early challenge from Shaun Bruns to take the win in the IMCA Stock Car finale while Josh Bonnstetter took top honors in the IMCA Sport Mod A-main. Matt Hanson (IMCA Hobby Stocks) and Nate Coopman (IMCA Sport Compacts) each garnered North Star Series wins as well during Reefer Racing Supply night at the races Sunday at Redwood Speedway. Fans, drivers and pit crew members from all over the Upper Midwest convened to the moderately banked high speed ½ mile for the fourth of 10 scheduled IMCA North Star Series events.
Defending IMCA Sport Compact National Champion Nate Coopman took the lead on lap one of the division's A-main. Coopman looked strong early on and was scored the leader at the conclusion of the first lap. Fifth starter Aaron Betz steadily worked his way to the front disposing of Mick Rykhus for second just four laps in. Betz tried everything in his power to track down Coopman during the remaining laps but it was not enough to deny Coopman yet another win. Betz, Rykhus, Nikkya Betz and Ashelyn Moriarty each took home top five finishes as well behind Coopman. Coopman also took home top honors in the division's lone heat race to complete the sweep for the Mankato, MN pilot.
Next on the docket was the IMCA Hobby Stock A-main with Matt Hanson and Trevor Serbus sharing the front row starting duties. After an early wreck claimed Serbus and second row starter John Ross, order was restored with 16 cars still on the speedway. Slayton, MN traveler Matt Hanson took the early advantage while row three starters Adam Snyder and Eric Gillette battled for the second spot. Back in traffic, Chris Isaacson and Guy Kimpton began to work their way to the front. Isaacson cracked the top five during the ladder stages of the affair with Kimpton in sixth. Snyder was able to hold off Gillette and a hard charging John Briggs to hold the second spot as the checkered flags waved. Out front it was all Hanson taking his first ever Redwood Speedway victory. Snyder, Gillette, Briggs and Isaacson completed the top five running order. The 18 cars in attendance were divided into three heat races with Kimpton, Isaacson and Brennen Boettger taking preliminary wins.
With 21 of the best IMCA Sport Mods the sanction has to offer on hand, the fans anticipated an action packed event. Nick Johansen and Larry Revier manned the front row starting duties as head flagman Layne Roberts dropped the green. Johansen blasted off from the inside of row one and took the early lead as the rest of the field jockeyed for position. Sixth starter Josh Bonnstetter wasted little time moving up three positions into third after just three laps were in the books. While Johansen ran out front, Bonnstetter worked to the inside of Revier. A couple yellow flags halted action early on with Dan Paplow heading to the pits to remove his passenger side door before rejoining the rear of the field in the 20th position just seven laps in. On the restart, Bonnstetter wasted little time applying pressure to the backside of Johansen's #12x. As the duo race into turn three, Bonnstetter glued his #80 mount to the bottom of the speedway and wheeled by Johansen for the lead. Back in traffic, Dan Paplow began a spirited march toward the front after the early incident caused by another driver put him in the back. In just six short circuits, Paplow had picked off half the field while Bonnstetter began to get away from the rest of his competitors out front. The final yellow flag waved with two laps remaining which set up a two lap dash to the finish. At this point 11th starter Matt Looft had successfully worked his way into the third spot which put him next to Johansen for the final Delaware double-file restart. With the green flag waving over the field once again, Looft climbed the ladder in turn one and was able to make the pass on Johansen for second. Bonnstetter continued to show the way out front while Paplow charged all the way back to the third spot after starting 13th on the grid. Looft drew close to Bonnstetter on the final trip around but was unable to make the winning pass. In the end it was Bonnstetter taking home his first ever Redwood Speedway win. Looft, Paplow, Johansen and row four starter Justin Remus were also members of the top five.
In just his second ever appearance at the Speedway Dustin Larson took the lead on lap one of the IMCA Stock Car finale. Larson showed the way early on and was scored the leader at the conclusion of the first circuit. While Larson rode the inside line, Shaun Bruns pedaled his #71D around the top. On lap four Bruns took the lead from Larson as the duo raced off of turn four. The first and only yellow flag of the event waved on lap six which bunched up the field behind Bruns. On the restart, Larson made a very quick move to the inside of Bruns in turns one and two. The duo drag raced down the backstretch with Larson regaining the lead from Bruns via the bottom groove in turn three. Larson would stretch his advantage during the remaining laps going on to garner his first ever Redwood Speedway victory. Bruns, Brad Scheibel, Jeff Larson and Jake Bruns followed Larson to the checkers. Larson's heat race win earlier in the program completed the sweep for the Rushmore, MN product.
The final event of the evening belonged to the IMCA Modifieds with Eric Dailey and Justin Bjorklund showing the 23-car field to the green flag. With the fans on their feet Dailey took the early advantage as the field worked through turns one and two. Dailey rode the top side of the speedway early on and was credited as being the leader at the end of the first lap. A lap three yellow bunched up the field behind Dailey for the restart. When the green dropped it was more than apparent there were three drivers on the move. Mike Hansen, Curt Lund and Jay Noteboom looked very strong as all three competitors sliced and diced their way through the field. Hansen, who started ninth, moved up to second on a restart while Lund, who started 11th, rode in third. As the laps clicked off, Dailey began to encounter lap traffic. Behind Dailey, however, the battle for second began to heat up. With two laps still up on the board, Lund got a run on Hansen as the pair exited turn two. When the duo entered turn three they tangled with each going over the banking. Lund's night ended with a flat right front while Hansen regained his spot in second. At this time 18th starter Jay Noteboom had worked his way into the fifth spot. With two laps remaining, Dailey once again brought the field to the green. Noteboom saw his opportunity and quickly moved by Brandon Beckendorf and Mike Gregg to grab the second spot. Noteboom worked feverishly to get by Hansen for second on the final lap but was forced to settle for third. Out front it was all Dailey taking the flag to flag victory. Hansen, Noteboom, Beckendorf and Gregg rounded out the top five. Bjorklund, Tim Pessek, Chad Porter, Dan Menk and Todd Stinehart all took home top 10 runs for the IMCA Modifieds, who put on a tremendous main event.

Smaller Investors Still Love This Equity Rally
In the analysts' offices right across the financial world, there is as ever plenty to chatter about.
How much higher can stocks get given that while many big indexes flirt with record peaks, underlying activity certainly doesn't? How much more extraordinary stimulus can we rely on, in either Europe or the U.S.? When will we see finally see that blessed tapering? What will the post-Bernanke Fed look like? And so on.
However, out there in the world of the smaller investor it seems matters are a lot less nuanced.
The American Association of Individual Investors sweetly and simply asks its members how they feel about stocks every week. And last week, despite this rally's maturity and all those unanswered questions, fully 45% of respondents said they were still bullish about stocks' prospects for the next six months, with only 21% bearish.
Both are very markedly adrift from their long term averages, too. 39% bullish is the historical norm, and 30.5% bearish. True the bullish cohort has shrunk a little, it was a hefty 49% the week before. But still, it's clear these respondents are less worried than many analysts.
They still clearly believe that the so called 'Bernanke put,' that shower of equity-supporting liquidity gushing forth from the Fed, is going to be at least equaled by a Yellen version of much the same thing.
Of course, the current survey period might not capture all the ill effects of the disappointment felt after last week's Federal Open Market Committee meeting. The conclave left many investors unsatisfied, but in truth it carried with it a weight of dovish expectation that the Fed might have been irresponsible to fulfill. By the time decision day dawned it would have taken a virtual pre-commitment not to taper in December to lift markets. They were never going to get that.
But, even so, plenty of smaller investors still believe this rally is going places. We'll let you know if last week's Fed disappointment dampens this week's certainty, but for the moment it adds to the idea, also current among some analysts, that stocks still have plenty of enthusiasts along with those poor institutional investors who are simply scared of missing out.

2014 WORCS Round 4 Sand Hollow SXS Results 0
Round 4 of the WORCS Series was held in what could be the most visually stunning locations for a race in the United States, if not the world: Sand Hollow State Park in the off-road friendly state of Utah. Beau Baron put his Polaris RZR XP1000 on the top of the Pro SXS Podium for the second time of the year, besting a field of 28 Pro UTVs.
The 5.3-mile course at Sand Hollow may have looked beautiful, but it was the roughest of the year by a long shot. Many machines barely made it through the practice session and a handful did not. Sharp sandstone ledges and crumbled rocks mixed into the soft sand surface reeked havoc on tires, wheels and suspension components. As the laps wound down the hills and valleys were littered with broken UTVS.
On the uphill sand dune start, Baron Pulled the holeshot with Mitch Guthrie Jr., Dean Price, Ryan Piplic and RJ Anderson right behind. Guthrie would settle into second as Price blew a belt battling with Anderson. On the last lap, lappers slowed Baron allowing Guthrie to pass until the he fell victim to a slower racer blocking his path. Baron would regain the lead and take the win.
Nick Thompson charged from the back in his XP1000 to grab third based on time, less than seven seconds ahead of Polaris' Anderson. Ryan Piplic would round out the top five, crossing the finish line with shredded tires.
Jeff Obering grabbed sixth ahead of Wagon Burners Racing's Tyler Winbury, who limped in with broken rear axles. 4WheelDirt Contributor Nick Nelson picked off numerous racers from his third-row start for eighth. IMG Motorsports-sponsored Mike Camp got the ninth spot and Blingstar owner Clint Roberts capped off the top-10.
4Wheel Dirt Editor, Justin Dawes put his IMG Motorsports prepped Project XP1000 inside the top ten for most of the race, before belt troubles knocked him back to 11th. Stay tuned for the next installment of the project XP1000.
Four weeks from now the WORCS series will move to Ridgecrest, California for Round 5 on May 9-11.

Review: Nvidia Shield
Bonnie Cha at All Things Digital reviews the Nvidia Shield:
The Shield is an Android-based portable game console that features a five-inch touchscreen attached to a game controller. You can use it to play games made for Google's Android operating system, or you can stream PC games to it (with caveats). It also offers all the features of a tablet running the latest version of Android.
To be clear, the Shield is, first and foremost, a gaming device, and it's a powerful one at that. (If you're unfamiliar with Nvidia, the company makes the chips that provide the graphics power in many of today's Android devices and Windows PCs.) I played at least half a dozen games on the Shield, including Grand Theft Auto III and the third-person shooter game Max Payne, and the handheld offered some of the smoothest game play I've seen on a mobile device. Graphics looked great on the sharp screen, and sound boomed from powerful speakers. All that said, I wouldn't recommend the Shield to everyone.

Government to raid super savings to plug infrastructure hole

- Actual cost of $22bn plan is $80bn
- Federal Budget 2009: All you need to know
PM to raid super funds to pay for infrastructure Actual cost of $22bn plan is $80bn Federal Budget 2009: All you need to know
THE Government plans to tap Australia's $1 trillion pool of superannuation savings to help plug a $58 billion hole in its nation-building program.
The funding shortfall for approved infrastructure projects has raised concerns that unless a greater portion of national savings can be accessed, some of the 15 rail, road and ports projects announced by Wayne Swan as Tuesday night's Budget centrepiece may never be built.
The Weekend Australian has learned the Government's advisory group, Infrastructure Australia, has turned its post-budget focus to developing new investment pathways to funnel super funds into infrastructure.
It is understood Infrastructure Australia will submit a set of recommendations to the Government, including various models that offer investment incentives to super funds.
Figures compiled by KPMG reveal the total cost of the Treasurer's nation-building program, to which the Government has allocated $22 billion over the next four years, is $80 billion.
The Government has emptied its Building Australia Fund and imposed on itself tight restrictions on future spending. At the same time, the global credit crunch has crippled the ability of the private sector to co-invest in government projects.
'Can't force funds to invest'
But the Treasurer says the Federal Government can't force superannuation funds to invest in infrastructure projects.
"If superannuation funds wish to invest in infrastructure, that's a great thing for Australia," Mr Swan told reporters on the Gold Coast.
"How superannuation funds invest their money is up to their trustees and their members."
However, the Treasurer refused to rule out offering incentives as a way of influencing funds.
Asked whether the Government might offer inducements in the future, he replied: "They (funds) take their decisions independently and that is the way it should be".
Only $1.7bn is new money
Figures within the Budget papers reveal that for all the hype surrounding the $22 billion spend on infrastructure - Mr Swan was variously portrayed as Bob the Builder and a railway worker the following morning - only $1.7 billion of new infrastructure money will be spent in 2009-10. This increases to $3.05 billion the year after.
Kevin Rudd donned a hardhat to inspect NSW rail works two days after the Budget, but only four projects will start work this year. Six projects will start next year and the rest in future years.
The $14 billion Brisbane inner-city rail, to which the Government has allocated $20million for a feasibility study, has not been given a start date.
The direct impact on employment is estimated to be about 5000 jobs created between now and next year.
The $1.6 billion Hunter Expressway, to which the Government has contributed $1.4 billion, will create 800 jobs next year, while improvements to Queensland's Bruce Highway, to which the Government has allocated $488million, will create 650 jobs this year.
On Tuesday night, Mr Swan committed $8.4 billion towards 15 hand-picked rail, road and port projects. These are considered essential to reduce congestion and improve productivity.
Of these, eight are fully funded. Lobby group Infrastructure Partnerships Australia calculates the remaining seven projects require a further $27.3billion to build. These include the regional rail express in Victoria and the Gold Coast light rail project.
The funding models Infrastructure Australia will examine to make public-private partnerships more attractive to super funds include accelerating tax depreciation, tax incentives and infrastructure bonds. An unpopular consequence is likely to be a greater reliance on tolls, and London-style congestion charges to make public roads and rail more profitable.
Speaking to The Weekend Australian yesterday, Infrastructure Australia chairman Rod Eddington described the Government's $22 billion Budget package as an "important first step".
"With the gift of hindsight we have underspent on infrastructure for a couple of decades. This is an important first step in a much longer journey but given the size of the big infrastructure spend that is required, it will require much more," Sir Rod said.

What matters is how they go about it. Super funds need to be enticed to enter investment into infrastructure, it must be a better place to put the money than any or most others, not compulsorily acquired!
Joe of Melbourne Posted at 7:30 PM May 16, 2009
Given the government's projects tend to suffer cost blow out, lack of planning, not meeting expectation and not deliver on time. What is the hope for average Australians' super to grow if it is forcefully taken by the government? Look at Melbourne's infamous Myki Project, Brisbane's BrisConn fiasco, Sydney's now bankrupt Cross City Tunnel... Need I say more? It is all good to invite people to invest, it is another to FORCEFULLY ACQUIRE people's hard earn money.
A T Kenos Posted at 7:19 PM May 16, 2009
We have two choices. To help grow our nation, the government borrows from overseas and pays the interest overseas. Or it borrows from us and pays the interest back to us. I know what makes better sense
Agnes.B of Arana Hills Posted at 7:14 PM May 16, 2009
I think it is a good idea that Mr.Rudd is using the money which otherwise sits in super funds. I mean, it's not actually doing anything there, is it? I for one trust the government implicitly to do whatever is required to take us out of deficit. However, being old, bed-ridden and not political, I do not trust the Government, especially Mr.Rudd with all of this money. Or not.

Questions and Answers
Bent Frame On A Ford F150 Pickup
Q. I had a little mishap and bent the crossbar support, broke my front axle and bent the frame slightly on a two month old 2004 Ford F150 FX4. The truck is at the dealers body shop and they are telling me this should not be a big problem to fix. They claim that the frame may actually be better than before since the manufacturer allows for slight tolerances and they will put it back exactly according to specs with zero tolerances, i.e. exactly where it should be.
I'm having a hard time believing that my tuck will ever be the same. What do you think about any body shops ability to bend a frame back to perfect? How will I ever know if it is really done correctly? Should I get this fixed and sell the truck and start over with a new one?
Upset Truck Owner
A. Let me put it this way, reach into your desk drawer and take out a paper clip. Take the bends out and make it straight. All done? Okay, now bend it back to it's original shape. You can bend it back to where it will work as a paper clip, but you will never get it back to the way it was before you bent it.
The frame of your truck is a paper clip. They can bend it back to where it will work, but it will never be as it was before it was bent. Now this is not necessarily a bad thing. It can be bent back to where it will work as it did before. How well it will work depends on the skill and experience of the technician doing the work.
If it is, as you say, a slight bend without any crinkling, then the chances are very good that it will be back to where it was before and you will never know what happened.
But, as they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Drive it for a while and see how it feels. Keep an eye on the tires for abnormal wear and cupping. If it feels good and the tires are wearing normally, it's a keeper. If not, then put a For Sale sign on it or trade it in for a new one. A dealer might wonder why you're trading in a brand new truck, but all you have to say is you don't like the color.

Great costume! Very oversized though. Luckily I read other reviews and found that out in advance. I wear a size 10 which is usually a med or large. I ordered a small in this costume and had plenty of room but it was still somewhat tight fitting as it should be. It worked out perfectly!

Title: Not a great costume, waaay too baggy! I...
Not a great costume, waaay too baggy! It is not contoured enough to give it a sexy look. It is waaay bigger than you'd think too! I am a size 10 and ordered the medium actually thinking I might have to lose a few more pounds to get in it. Well it could fit a size 14 easy. It might look sexy then. I am going to take in the seams on the arms, body (especially the waist) and possibly legs. It is also made for taller people. The body is quite long, and by the time you put on the legs there isn't much leg showing. I'm shortening the legs so at least the garters will work. the belt is also really cheap looking compared to the fabric of the suit. So dissappointing!!!

A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings
by Gabriel García Márquez
A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings Old Age Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Paragraph)
Quote #1
He had to go very close to see that it was an old man, a very old man, lying face down in the mud, who, in spite of his tremendous efforts, couldn't get up, impeded by his enormous wings. (1)
And here's proof that age isn't just a number: the first thing we notice about the angel character isn't that he's got wings; it's that he's a very old man. In other words, his old age is more important than his wings.
Quote #2
There were only a few faded hairs left on his bald skull and very few teeth in his mouth, and his pitiful condition of a drenched great-grandfather had taken away any sense of grandeur he might have had. (2)
The narrator lays it right out for us: old age is not pretty, it's not sexy, and it's definitely not very angelic. In fact, it's downright ugly and mortal. (In the worst sense. The sense where you die.)
Quote #3
"He's an angel," she told them. "He must have been coming for the child, but the poor fellow is so old that the rain knocked him down." (3)
Even if the old man is an angel, he's a victim of old age just like any regular human: he gets weak, and isn't able to do his job or drive in the rain. And what do we do with people like that? Well, we don't stick them in chicken coops—yeah, you can take a minute to pat yourselves on the back—but we do like to stick them in nursing homes.

I made ported the co-op bots and Chell but they crash my Garry's Mod!
Can you port the dlc?
There's nothing in the dlc to port from what i saw.
Everything just looked like reused standard portal 2 models.
These are all the 'new' models:
Non fire emitting versions of the bot gibs, static robot arms, and a big door.
Link should work again now.
Try clicking it aain.
Yes, But i try mapping on gmod and no models show up.
Very sorry to bump this, but how do you download it? I have the Zip files extracted, but where in my directory should each thing be? Having each of the "Portal p1/p2/p3/p4" files in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\username\garrysmod\garrysmod \addons doesn't seem to make them appear in game. Where do I need to put the files?
it needs a spawn list to appear in the main spawn menu
Hey, I downloaded the pack from the Megaupload link and put it into addons, but I can't find it anywhere in the Browse tab! Can somebody help me?
thank you
After reading my old comment I want to kill myself but then I would't get to play with this on my new pc!
So, what is this under? I've never had trouble before. But this is complicated and since megaupload got tooken down, i don't know how to find them.
*Check the OP
I'm pretty sure this has been posted but:
Megaupload is dead, take down the megaupload download.
I really don't see why it's so difficult just to not click the megaupload link, but whatever. Removed it.
you'll have to use the browse menu and make your own spawnlist, also please don't quote the entire post in a bump, we all appreciate it, I assure you.
Don't quote the whole damn thread.
There were some but it was a megaupload link. They're not difficult to make, so you could make them yourself.
god damn it frank
Whence the models from SOB?
I don't see why people can't just PM me or something instead of continuously bumping this thread.

|HylaFAX The world's most advanced open source fax server
I've compiled hylafax before, on a different computer. Now I'm trying to compile it on a mac PowerPC running OSX 10.5. It doesn't come with libTIFF.

Super endroit que je recommanderais à n'importe qui! Endroit propre, bien situé (à 15 minutes à pieds de la Grande Place, wow!!), bien organisé et les hôtes sont tellement sympathiques (surtout Francesco que nous avons beaucoup aimé ;) )! Le seul petit hic est que la rue est difficile à trouver le soir parce que le quartier n'est pas très bien éclairé, mais c'est vraiment juste un détail, suffit de bien se préparer avant de sortir :)
In Namen von meinem Mann kann ich ihnen sagen, dass der Aufenthalt prima war und die Männer ihr Apartment weiter empfehlen würden. Danke Bärbel
Perfect host and very nice people ,ready to help .day and at night!
proper room and we were so sorry we had to leave....
15 minutes walking of the center.PERFECT!
Fair priced. Had a comfortable stay.
Our stay at this apartment was great. Clean, tidy and very neat. We really felt ourselves at home. Great experience. Thanks a lot.
We had a very enjoyable visit to Brussels staying at the Medina apartment. It was very clean and comfortable and well situated near the Brussels Midi station and a easy walk into the city centre.
Fantastic place near station and Francesco is very helpful
Cosy, clean and quiet appartement, close to Gare de Bruxelles-Midi. The appartment provides everything you need and for 15 Euro extra you get a lot in a parking garage, so you dont have to waste your time, searching for a rare parking place. The Hosts are very nice and helpfull all the time. Thank you very much!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Basic apartment but clean and functional - we arrived very late (1am) but handover was carried out with minimum of fuss.
At the top of 3 steep flights of stairs but it was very quiet, essentially well placed - next to Gare Du Midi with a number of amenities nearby, a stroll from the centre and pleasantly multi-cultural, atleast for us.
Also 2 minutes down the road is Cantillon Brewery. Please make sure you get to view this iconic and unique establishment.

I&B mulling launching 24-hour news channel on AIR
I&B Secretary reviewed the existing status of AIR and Doordarshan Kendra transmission in border areas.
Amritsar: Information and Broadcasting Ministry on Saturday said it is considering a 24-hour news channel on All India Radio (AIR) on the pattern of DD News. "The Centre is exploring various aspects and technicalities involved in launching a 24-hour news channel on AIR," I&B Secretary Uday Kumar Varma said here at a meeting with heads of various Punjab-based media units.
Varma reviewed the existing status of AIR and Doordarshan Kendra transmission in border areas and discussed the progress of digitalisation of AIR and DDK. He directed the DD authorities to explore the possibility of introducing a toll free number on which viewers, cutting across national borders, could directly voice their opinion.
Reacting to media reports on monopoly by certain private cable TV operators, the I&B Secretary said the matter have already been referred to TRAI.

Port seeks private money to finish container terminal
Official says port still needs $240M
The Port of New Orleans plans to ask for private help to complete its planned $580 million Napoleon Avenue Container Terminal expansion.
Spokesman Matt Gresham told New Orleans CityBusiness that the port is unlikely to go entirely private for the projects third and final phase. But he said officials don't expect the state to provide the estimated $240 million they still need.
He said future partners could include terminal operators, shipping companies or any manner of private investment group. The final expansion phase is intended to double the port's annual container capacity to 1.6 million 20-foot-equivalent units.
Gresham said he hopes the budget situation improves so the state can again invest in infrastructure.

Back From the Dead (For Now): Don't Ask, Don't Tell
The path worn by the challenge to the "don't ask, don't tell" policy is looking a lot like the path worn by the challenge to California's Proposition 8, the law banning same-sex marriage in the Golden State.
In both, federal judges in California issued bold, far-reaching opinions striking down measures that the gay and lesbian community had railed against. In both, the judge declined to stay the effect of the ruling pending an appeal to the Ninth Circuit. And in both, as was made clear late Wednesday, the Ninth Circuit swiftly acted where the lower courts hadn't and issued a stay pending appeal.
That's right, the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, illegal for a week under court order, is back in force—again by court order. Click here for the WSJ story; here for the NYT story; here for the LAT article; here for the one-page order, issued by judges Diarmuid O'Scannlain, Stephen Trott and William Fletcher.
The Ninth Circuit on Wednesday granted the Defense Department's emergency request to suspend a lower-court's injunction on the policy. Federal judge Virginia Phillips in Riverside, Calif., had barred the military from enforcing the 1993 law that excludes openly gay people from serving.
The appeals court issued a temporary administrative stay, pending further consideration of a full appeal. It said the stay would "provide this court with an opportunity to consider fully the issues presented."
Pentagon spokesman Col. David Lapan called the stay "appropriate." Defense officials have said they would reinstate the policy excluding those who declare they are gay from the military if the district court's order was stayed or overturned. Discharge proceedings against those suspected of violating "don't ask don't tell" would also resume.
"While we are disappointed with the court's ruling granting a temporary administrative stay, we view the decision as nothing more than a minor setback," said Dan Woods, a White & Case partner who is representing the Log Cabin Republicans. He predicted the injunction against the 1993 law would be restored once the appeals court has received a full briefing.

The Bustling Market for Exported US Coal
From Daily Finance
By Christopher Barker
Against the backdrop of a crushing collapse in the shares of U.S. coal producers last year, one important segment of the market for U.S. coal celebrated some noteworthy success.
Peering through the wreckage of major producers Arch Coal and Alpha Natural Resources — both of which have shed roughly half of their market value over the trailing year — we witness the deep and lasting impacts of the ongoing natural gas revolution. But that's not the whole story!
You see, as diminished domestic coal consumption feeds elevated stockpiles and weakens prices, that underutilized supply becomes increasingly attractive to buyers outside the country.
As we'll explore in greater detail in a forthcoming discussion (bookmark this page to catch my next installment), major producer Peabody Energy — my long-standing top pick within the industry — took decisive steps during 2012 to enhance its access to this important seaborne trade. CONSOL Energy — one of the very few domestic producers to outperform the benchmark Market Vectors Coal Index ETF over the past year — has undertaken a timely expansion of its key port facility in Baltimore, Md. These efforts highlight the changing character of what it means to be a competitive coal producer within this transformed structure of the U.S. coal market.
We'll survey the relevant transportation infrastructure, and consider which coal producers may be best positioned to access that infrastructure, in a forthcoming discussion later this week. For now, let's get a status report on the particular hotbeds of demand for exported U.S. coals that are so important to these impaired domestic producers. But first, a quick word on the broader outlook for global coal demand.

ARVADA, COLORADO -- (Marketwired) -- 04/28/14 -- Industrialex Manufacturing Corp. (TSX VENTURE: IXC.U), a leading provider of industrial coating services, today announced that its board of directors determined not to incur the substantial expense of retaining auditors to audit the year-end financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 and therefore the Company will be unable to file audited financial statements with the British Columbia Securities Commission. However, a copy of un-audited Financial Statements for year ended December 31, 2013 will be available for any Industrialex shareholder.
The Company's decision not to file audited financial statements will be contrary to Part 4 of National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations. The Company has been advised that this will almost certainly result in the issuance of cease trade orders by the regulatory authorities having jurisdiction, including the British Columbia Securities Commission and in a trading suspension by and, in due course, a delisting of its shares from, the TSX Venture Exchange. In such event as the Company's operations continue, its shareholders will have the same rights and privileges as provided for in the Company's articles of incorporation and by-laws.
Headquartered in Arvada, Colorado, the Company provides industrial coating and Contract Manufacturing Services.

TUC: Welfare reforms 'spectacularly failing' PM's new family test
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Central Government and also in Communities, Finance, Universal Credit
TUC: Welfare reforms 'spectacularly failing' PM's new family test
The majority of the Tory-led coalition's welfare reforms will fall on working families, according to a new report by the TUC.
The union body says the cuts to state welfare have already failed Prime Minister David Cameron's new 'family test' in "spectacular fashion" with working parents and their children billions of pounds worse off as a result.
Cameron announced this week that, from October, every new domestic policy "will be examined for its impact on the family".
The TUC's analysis - which was undertaken by Howard Reed of Landman Economics – looked at all the welfare changes announced during the current Parliament and found that annual cuts to key benefits will reach £30.5 billion by 2016/17.
The analysis reveals that most of the cuts will fall on working families, with working parents and their children facing the biggest cuts of all, who will lose £11.7bn a year.
With out of work families with children losing a further £2.3bn a year, the total cost of welfare cuts to families with children will be £14.1bn a year by 2016/17.
According to the report, the prime minister's pre-election pledge to protect pensioner benefits has also "been broken", with pensioner families set to suffer a loss of benefit support worth £6.4bn a year by 2016/17.
The biggest single area of welfare cuts announced has been the £13.8bn worth of annual cuts to tax credits – over 90% of which will hit working families.
Those in work will also bear over 90% of the cuts in child benefit, losing £3.4bn a year by 2016/17.
The report says that many of the reductions in social security support are down to Chancellor George Osborne's "stealth cut to benefits", announced in June 2010, where the measure used to increase benefits every year was changed from RPI to the lower CPI measure.
The move, says the TUC, combined with an "unprecedented drop in earnings growth" is likely to reduce the value of the state pension for pensioner families by £1bn a year by 2016/17.
And the report claims that when universal credit, the government's largest shake-up of the benefits system, is finally rolled out it will lead to a further £5bn of annual cuts – almost half of which will fall on pensioner families.
The TUC warns that universal credit will be particularly harsh on unemployed men and women in their mid-60s, as new UC claimants of this age will no longer get Pension Credit and instead will receive less generous support, as well as being subject to the government's new sanctions regime.
TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said: "Ministers like to say that their welfare reforms target workshy scroungers and will get them back to work. But the fact is that the bulk of the cuts hit low-paid families already in work, as well as pensioners who have no way to make up the money lost as a result of the Chancellor's social security axe.
"With nearly half the total cost of welfare changes falling on working families with children, the Prime Minister has already failed his own new family test, announced just this week.
"The government has been steadily chipping away at the social security safety net we all pay into and expect will support us when we need help.
"While many people may think that the recovery means the end of the squeeze on their social security support, the worse cuts are still to come.
"Under universal credit, out of work men and women in their mid-60s will be deemed workshy scroungers – unable to claim Pension Credit and facing sanctions for not taking up work they're ill-equipped to do.
"This new nastier social security system is a world away from the support people expect having paid their national insurance contributions."
