Cynthia's love to talk but are often quiet to listen to their friend's problems. Cynthia's do not like sports, and are often too worried about life once but once you get to know a Cynthia you will see little by little that they let loose and have fun. Cynthia' s are often known by there sad looking eyes and that gloomy look on there face, often they have dark hair and a pale dead like face because they are after all named after the goddess of the moon, and like the moon you will soon see their pale beauty and mysterious personalty, know as the invisible girl, a Cynthia can be a great leader,but is always ready to be a team player.

A kind, gentle, fun loving girl. She usually worries too much about what she looks like, although she is beautiful and every guy notices it. Cynthia's usually have a very bubbly personality and are naturals at flirting. Cynthia's are usually good kissers and good in bed. If you can have her as your girlfriend, you will never be able to go back. But, if you mistreat her, don't be suprised if you find yourself heart broken. Many Cynthia's enjoy sports, video games, and other guy type things, yet they love to go shopping, get their nails done, and have girl time. Most Cynthia's are a triple threat. Beautiful, funny, and smart.

The name was invented by a Latin poet during the time of Jesus. He wrote the Odes to Cynthia, some of the earliest known love poetry. This poet wrote in the style of the Greeks and the name was originally Kynthia, meaning "from Mount Kynthus" a mountain on the island of Delos. Apollo was from Delos and he was the god of poetry. Cynthia was not the woman in the poems, she was the muse. So, in the style of the Greeks, her name is invoked at the beginning of each poem.
Cynthia is the muse for love poetry.

You are my Cynthia, my inspiration.

Album Review
Slippery When Wet
wasn't just a breakthrough album for
Bon Jovi
; it was a breakthrough for hair metal in general, marking the point where the genre officially entered the mainstream. Released in 1986, it presented a streamlined combination of pop, hard rock, and metal that appealed to everyone -- especially girls, whom traditional heavy metal often ignored.
Slippery When Wet
was more indebted to pop than metal, though, and the band made no attempt to hide its commercial ambition, even hiring an outside songwriter to co-write two of the album's biggest singles. The trick paid off as
Slippery When Wet
became the best-selling album of 1987, beating out contenders like
Appetite for Destruction
The Joshua Tree
, and Michael Jackson's
Part of the album's success could be attributed to
Desmond Child
, a behind-the-scenes songwriter who went on to write hits for
Michael Bolton
, and
Ricky Martin
. With
's help,
Bon Jovi
penned a pair of songs that would eventually define their career -- "Living on a Prayer" and "You Give Love a Bad Name" -- two teenage anthems that mixed
's blue-collar narratives with straightforward, guitar-driven hooks. The band's characters may have been down on their luck -- they worked dead-end jobs, pined for dangerous women, and occasionally rode steel horses -- but
Bon Jovi
never presented a problem that couldn't be cured by a good chorus, every one of which seemed to celebrate a glass-half-full mentality. Elsewhere, the group turned to nostalgia, using songs like "Never Say Goodbye" and "Wild in the Streets" to re-create (or fabricate) an untamed, sex-filled youth that undoubtedly appealed to the band's teen audience.
Bon Jovi
wasn't nearly as hard-edged as
Mötley Crüe
or technically proficient as
Van Halen
, but the guys smartly played to their strengths, shunning the extremes for an accessible, middle-of-the-road approach that wound up appealing to more fans than most of their peers. "It's alright if you have a good time,"
Jon Bon Jovi
sang on
Slippery When Wet
's first track, "Let It Rock," and those words essentially served as a mantra for the entire hair metal genre, whose carefree, party-heavy attitude became the soundtrack for the rest of the '80s.

The Geneseo girls' soccer team sailed through competition this past week to earn wins over Morris and Dixon.
Geneseo vs. Morris
Geneseo's stifling attack was too much for visiting Morris to handle April 17 as the Lady Leafs shut out the Redskins, 8-0.
"Last night, I think it took a little bit and a couple good chances before we put one in," said head coach Ian Kline. "The girls played well from beginning to end.
"Morris is a decent team, but our team is starting to play pretty well. They are starting to do their thing and that is what is expected out of this group. They are working on things, setting each other up and played unselfishly. They came out right away and played a good game."
Kelsey Nystrom started the night off with a goal on the assist from Heather Setser, followed by Rachel Morton with an unassisted goal for the 2-0 lead.
Rachel Smith put the Lady Leafs ahead, 3-0 with an unassisted goal, while Mallory Wirth booted through another goal on the assist from Smith for the 4-0 advantage.
Monique Welch got in on the scoring action with a goal on the assist from Nystrom, while Nystrom added her second goal of the game, unassisted to give Geneseo the 6-0 lead at the half.
Nystrom completed the hat trick with the Lady Leafs' seventh goal of the game, while Welch put through another goal, unassisted in the second half.
Geneseo finished the game with 16 shots on goal and Darci Dietrich and Emily Bozzer both made one save in the net.
Morris took two shots on goal.
"I think everybody is rising to the occasion and starting to play the soccer I expect," said Kline. "It is nice to see them get out there and play as a team."
Geneseo vs. Dixon
Geneseo grabbed its fifth conference win of the season as the Lady Leafs cruised to a 6-0 victory over host Dixon April 12.
"It took a little bit to get started, and we had some chances to finish that we didn't,"?said Kline. "We always start well, but don't always finish our good chances early."
Kylie Gerhardt put the Lady Leafs on the board with an unassisted goal at the 25:00-mark to take the 1-0 lead.
Alex Radue booted through Geneseo's second goal, unassisted at 32:00, while Dani?Manna followed with an unassisted goal 5:00 later at 37:00 to put the Lady Leafs up 3-0.
Radue capped off the half with her second goal of the game on the assist from Heather Setser at 39:00 to give Geneseo the 4-0 advantage at the half.
After the break, Wirth knocked one past the Dixon goalie on the assist from Radue at 42:00, while Kylie Lembke added Geneseo's final goal of the game, unassisted, at 65:00.
Page 2 of 2 - The Lady Leafs finished the game with 18 shots on goal and Dietrich made one save.
Dixon took one shot on goal and had 12 goalie saves.
The Lady Leafs (9-0-1 overall and 6-0 in the NIB 12) will be in action this weekend in the Pekin Invitational today and April 21.
"The Pekin Invite will be a good weekend and we will get some competitive games," said Kline. "We are hoping to win the tournament this year.
"This year,?I can't say what the level of play is going to be at with a new team in the tournament, so I don't know what to expect, but in my opinion we should be the team to beat."

Summerville used a balanced offensive attack to hand Beaufort its second loss of the season.
Sophomore quarterback Sawyer Bridges completed a pair of touchdown passes during the 17-0 win. The Green Wave also had a lot of success rushing the football as it improved to 6-2 on the season with a 2-0 mark in Region 8-AAAA. Beaufort fell to 6-2, 1-1.
Summerville is now the only team in the region without a region loss.
"We played well in spurts but I'm just glad to win the game because Beaufort is a good team," Summerville coach John McKissick said. "We gave our quarterback time to throw and he made some good passes. We were playing without one of our best offensive tackles but both our tailbacks ran the ball well tonight anyway."
Each team had three offensive opportunities in the opening quarter but failed to score. Beaufort came the closest when Brady Cormier missed a 41-yard field goal that deflected off the left goal post.
Summerville took advantage of the miss on its next possession, driving 80 yards to score. Senior tailback Jacerie Ponder had a 20-yard run on the drive and capped it with a 35-yard pass from Bridges for a 7-0 Green Wave lead with David Kennedy's extra-point kick.
The Eagles had two possessions in the second quarter but both were defended. Cormier missed another 41-yard field goal attempt wide right with just more than five minutes remaining in the half.
Summerville capitalized again, this time with a 45-yard field goal by Kennedy.
Beaufort's second possession ended with a punt from the Eagles' 46 and the Wave took a 10-0 lead into the half.
Bridges completed 4 of 8 passes in the first half for 96 yards and the TD. Ponder carried 15 times for 75 of Summerville's 130 first-half rushing yards.
Beaufort QB Ben Vaigneur completed one of seven pass attempts in the first half, a 26-yarder to tight end Stephen Baggett. The Eagles rushed for approximately 100 yards in the first half with Eric Blakely and Jeffrey Tookes combining for 17 carries.
Summerville added a 34-yard TD pass to Johnston McCurry in the second half and continued to keep the Eagles out of the end zone for the final two quarters.
Beaufort built some momentum with a long drive on its first possession of the second half, but then Summerville defensive back Chad Wood intercepted a pass to end the threat. Another Eagle drive spanned 70 yards late in third quarter but a fourth-down completion came up a yard short and the Wave took over on downs at its own 10.
"We didn't make big plays," Beaufort coach Mark Clifford said. "We played hard, but we didn't play good football. We had some breaks and some opportunities but we didn't make the most of them. Hats off to them. They have a good football team."
In the fourth quarter, Summerville defensive back Kevin Dickinson put a big fourth-down hit on Baggett to stop the tight end just short of a first down. Then Summerville chewed up the remaining seven minutes of clock time with a drive deep into Eagle territory.
Bridges finished with seven completions for 191 yards and the two scores. McCurry led the Green Wave receivers with three receptions for 87 yards and the TD. He also had 13 rushing yards.
As a team, the Wave rushed for 209 yards. Ponder led the way with 123 yards on 22 carries. He also had a 24-yard kickoff return.
Beaufort 0 0 0 0-0
Summerville 0 10 7 0-17
S - Jacerie Ponder 35 pass from Sawyer Bridges (David Kennedy kick)
S - Kennedy 45 field goal

The 21 Infuriating Steps to Completing Any DIY Project
From gratification to medication, I like to do things myself. As a professional incompetent, however, I need a lot of help with my DIY projects. Help which, unfortunately, usually comes in the form of Internet research. If you, like me, are a giant asshole who happens to be tackling a big project soon, these are the steps you are inevitably going to follow, whether you like it or not. Hey, you do all the other prep work -- lay out your tools, clean your work area, arrange the parts -- why not prepare yourself psychologically by previewing all of your upcoming failures in numbered list form?
*Note: In this case, I'm doing some work on my motorcycle. Don't let that scare you away -- I will be using this project as an example, but the steps are universal and should apply to any DIY project you choose, short of Amateur Frankensteining.**
**Double Note: If you are trying to create life out of the parts around your home, please consult book one in my critically acclaimed Amateur Frankensteining series, entitled Fire Good: Instilling an Exploitable Weakness.
#1. General Research
"We're looking up money laundering in a dictionary."
You've got a project in mind, but you're no fool: Or rather, you're a fool who is well aware of your own limitations. So you want to go into this shit prepared. You're going to spend weeks on message boards, reading how-to guides and studying up on not only your particular project, but the entire theory behind the general workings of your project. You're going to be an expert before you ever step foot in that garage. Good for you!
#2. Getting Started
You've finally done it. It's taken weeks of work, but you've at last completed an extensive crash course in the topic of your choice, and you have graduated yourself with flying colors. You know what you have to do. You're ready to get started. All that's left is to head into the workshop ...
#3. Forgetting Everything
God damn it. What was your first step again?
You were supposed to cycle something, right? The motor? You were supposed to ... cycle ... the motor ... cycle-
God damn it.
#4. Back to General Research
All right, this is all looking familiar. Yeah, you just panicked a little. But now you've got it in your head. Real firm grasp of the knowledge here. Let's get back to the workshop.
#5. Getting Started Again
What was ...?
#6. Bringing the Computer into the Garage
Sure, you're going to get grease, blood, whiskey, tears, and probably some other bodily fluids on your PC, but your garage door is like one of those Men in Black flashers: The second you step through it, everything is forgotten. Now there's a handy guide right in front of you that, worse comes to worst, can also display some conciliatory pornography.
#7. Starting Small
Are you really going to do this? You can't do this.
You're going to ruin everything.
No, you can't start off with that attitude! Let's get pumped! Put on some C + C Music Factory. You don't have any? Look it up, man! You've got the Internet!
All right, well, studying their Wikipedia page for the last two hours hasn't been ... entirely relevant. Maybe you just need to relax some.
Take a shot!
Better? Yes. Fuck yes; you're a whatever-it-is-we're-doing machine! You're gonna do it! You're gonna do it all! You're gonna do the hell out of it! You're gonna- just ... OK, do something, though. Start small. Here, let's take the grips off.
#8. Gaining Confidence
Oh man, that worked great! You didn't need to research grip dynamics for 16 straight hours to do that! This is going to be cake. Let's try something harder: Stripping off the Air Injection Solenoid.
That's ... what is that? No, you can't stop to look it up. You'll lose momentum. Aw hell, it's just a name for the part that looks like the picture. Might as well be "Sam" or "Bill."
Hey, that thing looks like a Bill! Off you go.
#9. Biting Off More Than You Can Chew
So your whiskey bottle is empty, "Gonna Make You Sweat" has come to a masterful close, and the existential nature of what you've done has just hit you.
You are in no way qualified to do this.
Look at it! God, your project is ... it's everywhere. Your garage looks like you've been committing war crimes against a robot.
What are you supposed to do now? What the hell are you supposed to do now?!
#10. Angry Research
This is exactly the same as the general research step, except you're typing much harder. Those keystrokes are really more like tiny punches, furiously beating your words into the Internet. Try adding "fucking" or "piece of shit" into your search queries. For example, instead of "How do you cut a miter jig?" try "How do you fucking cut a miter jig when it's being a total piece of SHIT?"
Only please substitute the non-swearing search terms with actual words, because that stuff above is pure gibberish.

A tropical system moving into Mexico has rapidly developed into a tropical depression today, says the National Hurricane Center.
However, as this system is moving inland it faces only a brief window to become a tropical storm. What it will do is bring some heavy rains into Mexico.
The tropical moisture moving into the upper Texas coast is part of this system, and should bring the Houston region some scattered afternoon showers today and tomorrow.

* Lorraine Huber, winner of the "Best Freeride Female" segment, International Freeski Film Festival (IF3) movie award 2013
How and when did you start skiing, how has it evolved ever since and what got you into freeskiing?
I grew up in Lech am Arlberg, Austria, and started skiing at three years of age. My sister and I lived in a winter paradise only 100m away from the closest chair lift. My Mum used to send us to ski school instead of kindergarten, and Dad – who's a ski instructor - spent a lot of time with us on the mountain.
At the age of eight, I moved to Torquay, Australia, with my family and didn't return to live in Austria until I was finished with high school. Luckily, we were able to return to Lech most years to ski for 6 weeks during our summer holidays. Dad was working, so I always joined the higher groups in the Ski School Lech, skiing off-piste with the best local guides all day and in all types of snow conditions. I never raced and I couldn't carve a turn, I learnt that later during the Austrian ski instructor courses. At the age of 23, I went on to become a ski guide myself which had been a childhood dream of mine.
It was my good mate and ski instructor colleague, Martin Winkler, who first introduced me to the world of freeskiing at the age of 18. I bought my first ever freeride ski with a waist width of 68mm, the Salomon XScream, and started skiing longer and faster turns and jumping off cliffs.
In 2004 I entered and won my first big mountain contest, the Red Bull Snowthrill in Slovenia. It wasn't until 2008 however that I started freeriding professionally, back then the sport was still new and companies were only just starting to really invest in freeriding.
SCOTT started sponsoring me in 2006, making them my longest standing partner, and we have worked together excellently ever since, of which I am quite proud.
Who were/are your idols on and off the hill?
I really look up to skiers like Michelle Parker and Candide Thovex, but the skiers who probably influence me the most are my Arlberg skiing buddies Stefan Häusl and Björn Heregger. I think having a good crew to ski/ride with is the most important thing for a freerider.
What does skiing mean to you personally?
Everything. It's how I choose to lead my life, how I choose which goals I want to set myself and what is important to me. I don't have a private and work life; as a skier, it's all rolled into one. It's intense.
What were your 3 biggest accomplishments on hill and why?
Coming back stronger than ever after a serious knee injury in 2007, followed by an eight month period of illness which prevented me from skiingPlacing 2nd at the Swatch Xtreme Verbier 2013 and winning the Freeride World Qualifier tour (region Europe) in the same yearWinning the "Best Freeride Female" movie award (2013) from the International Freeski Film Festival (IF3) for my Alaska segment in "Shades of Winter".
What aspect of skiing thrills you the most? (in skiing in general)
Skiing powder, especially at high speeds and in steep or playful terrain. I also love jumping, it's such an incredible feeling.
In what conditions and what terrain do enjoy riding the most?
I love the terrain we have at the Arlberg. It's varied, steep, and playful, characterized usually by a deep snow pack. Lots of snow means safety in a lot of ways, the most accident prone seasons (avalanche or other) are those with little snow.
Any activities that aren't ski related?
I love rock climbing and surfing, and recently started mountain biking, which is so similar to freeriding in winter. I love learning languages, playing the piano, travelling and philosophizing with friends and strangers alike. Gaining new life experiences, whatever that may be, is key for me.
How do you manage to combine family/ friends and job?
That's not always easy to do. My Dad lives in Lech so I get to see him fairly regularly. My Mum still lives in Australia so that's harder. My sister is in Switzerland and we try and catch up as much as possible, but my family understands that I'm very busy in winter and they don't put pressure on me. I'm single at the moment so that definitely makes things less complicated.
Please answer, if possible, with one word only.
Trick/Move: cliff drops
Band: Kings of Leon
Movie: Gladiator
Book: The books that have had the most impact on me are the "Conversations with God" series from Neil Donald Walsch
Drink: Mate
Food: Pasta
Country: Austrialia
Resort/Place to ski: Lech Zürs am Arlberg
What do you like about SCOTT?
SCOTT is a true freeride company, both in summer and winter, and a big supporter of our sport. Their employees love the sports they produce gear for, which makes the SCOTT products so good. SCOTT has stood by me through good times and tough times, and they value long-term partnerships just like me.
What are your favorite SCOTT products?
I love my SCOTT Team Issue poles and Off-Grid goggles, and the SCOTT G2 FR 110 M ski boots are the best boots I've ever owned.
Where would you like to see yourself in 5 years?
Still working in the sport of freeriding and in the mountains, in combination with coaching and maybe business consulting; more time for some interesting freeski mountaineering projects.
People you feel you need to thank:
I have so many people to thank for their support, trust, help and advice over the years. I especially want to thank my family and friends for being there for me and believing in me, despite all the ups and downs and the risk involved. You are all amazing!

Oops, something didn't work.
The heading in http://www.billhillsite.com/ doesn't wrap correctly in IE7 so I'm assuming the site is designed for IE8?
It gives me a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom and a whole lot of nothing to the right even at 1440X900.
I DO find that site very easy to read though, so I like it.
Mr. Hill is a pleasure to listen to. I think he should get his own show.
In my subscription to National Geographic there is an add that has a picture taken of cave writings. I was fascinated by the idea that these are early forms of writing. Place a camp fire in the cave and let it flicker on the walls and you have early form of moving pictures that must have been mesmerizing to the creator and his friends. I wonder what the price of admission was. Maybe they traded furs or stone cutting technologies maybe it was some kind of social bonding. The art work and rendering of such animals is remarkable. I think these cave paintings are a testament to the legitimacy of the human brain during prehistoric times. Ill bet these people had the intelligence to use a computer if they had them. It makes me think, that if we compare the computer technology to those cave drawings that there are still many more advancements to be made in technology. Particularly in writing and communications.
I assume you're talking about Embedded OpenType - which, by the way, is also the Web font embedding scheme which Adobe supports.
We never had any thought of extracting license fees from competitors for this technology, now or in the future. It's implicit in handing it over to the W3C as a Web standard that granting rights to any IP it uses is part of the package.
Correct, the site is designed to use the default Web-standards rendering in IE8. A horizontal scroll bar, ugh!
Try IE8 Beta 2 - it's terrific, very stable, and has a compatibility button so older websites don't break.
And please let me know if you still have problems. 1440 x 900 should be ideal, that's what it was created on.
ehmmm... I don't like Betas anymore so I think I'll stick with IE7 until IE8 is final.
I saw the site working on your computer in the video so that's good enough for me.
If you're curious, this is what it looks like in IE7 scrolled all the way to the right with the text that doesn't wrap correctly highlighted so you can see it.
Bill, I just wanted to let you know that in IE8 Beta 2, the pictures are not scaling with the column width. This results in the pictures overlapping the text in column 2. Also, designing for 1440x900 is not a great idea. Personally, I never maximize my
browser window. It's roughly 1024*768 most of the time, on a 1280x1024 display.
Also, and this is just my opinion, the web makes it possible to not have to bother with pagination. I'd like to see more of move towards content being on one page, rather than splitting it up to mimic a paper publication or to load a few more banner ads.
Spivonious: I *think* at least in part bill is looking at a few aspects of reading and the web and how to deal with them.
the size he is using I think is just one that he can test with his screen. I think he did say that he wants to mke the number of columns a dynamic factor at some point.
here is one example, if you make a page "FOR" 1024x768 then on other screens it's going to waste a lot of space.
or if you make a "flow layout" that sizes to the screen w/o some kind of column sizes then the lines get way to long.
and if you make the text just one column with a good width then the scrolling and wasted space suck.
Pageination: well I find it much better to be able to "go to" page ## of a document then to try and find where I was by scanning 80,000 lines of text. that alone is one reason to have "Pages" of text. I do not think that bill was advocating adverts, if
anything he would (IMHO) say they are bad due to the way they try to pull your eye to look at them thus ruining the reading process.
echoing print layout should be a great way to put the most content on a screen at one time.... that's what they have been doing for a long time.
I'm not trying to put words in Bill's mouth, just that I think I agree with what he is upto.
I would love to see some of this work take bill next to working with the Visual Studio team on the web form/ win form/ wpf/ silverlight designer tools.
I hate how the built-in web form tools do nothing to help a developer make a good web form.... sure they dump textboxes and lables into a container but.... no help with how to layout that data entry form, just an ugly chunk you then have to fix.
Bill, I can't remember if you requested something like this on part 1 or part2; but it's a script to replace " with correct typography quotes in HTML... It reads a file called testcontent.txt and does the replacement and puts the new content in testcontent.html.
If you combine this with a directory reader you could make quick work of it. I might the 900th person to send you this but atleast I can sleep knowing I tried to help.
Enjoyed the post as always...
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
// Read a file containing our quoted content
var file = fso.OpenTextFile("testcontent.txt", 1, true, 0);
var content = file.ReadAll();
// This line says find everything between " and ", record that as $1, then. We return the output as " + $1 + "
var content = content.replace(/\"([^"]+)\"/g, """ + "$1" + """);
// Save the new content to an html file
var file = fso.OpenTextFile("testcontent.html", 2, true, 0);
Right on Bill. I thought about this specific issue when I wrote the sample script but I assumed the editors back in the day would check for the matching end quote. I didn't know the full history of the works.
I find it interesting your approach. I'm sure in the past the method of choice would be to save in a publisher-friendly format (word exported pdf). I suppose the point is the developer/designer/publisher should have options of how to format things easily.
There is no reason you can't give the script more advanced logic; maybe even put the display logic in JavaScript so it can best adapt to changing displays. For example if you had some function that would calculate the ideal character width of the page or column for a given client then you could change the works to auto justify, and get optimal page breaks.
I'm a very lazy person -- I would have wrapped this in an ASP master page and written a few scripts because chances are you're going to do all this work and 2 years from now someone will have the bright idea to change <br> to mean 1.5 line-spacing or something and you'll have to re-do all your efforts.
Anyway Bill, good luck on your project...
Either should work. I prefer points.

I changed the oil in my Celica this weekend to four fantastically fresh quarters of Mobil One, the synthetic motor oil choice of personal finance bloggers everywhere (I made that last part up). My dad has always told me that if you use Mobil One, you're good to go for a solid year before you'll need to swap the oil. This, of course, is not based on any sort of automechanics training from ITT Tech but empirical evidence based on thirty-plus years of driving and oil changes.
My dad always tried to learn how to do things himself when it came to maintenance. I think part of it was him not wanting to pay someone else to do something he could do himself and part he didn't trust the mechanics. You have to remember back in the day (and even now) you'd go in for an $20 oil change and come out with someone recommending you change your struts, brakes, battery, spark plugs, window tint, air filter, and your seats. Oh, and they've, as a courtsey, already done the work and printed up a bill. It's easy not to trust an industry that's had a history like that.
Changing the oil in a Celica is incredibly easy. All you need to do is get under the front of the car, pop off some snap rivits, remove the plastic small undercarriage cover, and undo the bolt. If you've never changed your oil, you need to do a few things first. First, drive your car around the block to get the oil heated up and moving. Then, get yourself a ratchet set before you start because that bolt is impossible to remove otherwise. Finally, be sure to have a bucket and funnel (obviously) and maybe invest in a pair of ramps so you can get under the car more easily.
Many bloggers have talked about the whole 3000 mile myth and how you should check your owner's manual for how long you should drive without a change. I think that if you're running a synthetic oil then you're able to get away with driving it a little while longer. My dad's recommendation of a year is only really about 12,000 miles or so and not a huge stretch if you're working off regular oil and a manual that says 7,500 miles.
Want to know why there's a million people always waiting for an oil change at Wal-Mart? Because it's easy, it's $20, and you don't have to get dirty. You don't have to buy oil, dispose of it, store the bucket and the funnel somewhere, and you don't have to wash your hands afterwards. What you should do though is pop open the hood and check that everything's okay after one of those in case they forgot to put the oil cap on. In fact, on my girlfriend's Civic they didn't put the cover on and about a quart spilled everywhere. We didn't find out until a week or so later until we saw oil dripping out of her grill (our parkings spots are jet black) and lifted the hood. No harm no foul though.
Ultimately, it's nice to take care of your own things yourself… like changing your oil. It's not about the money (Mobil One itself costs more than a synthetic oil change at Wal-Mart and they use decent stuff) because more often than not, the time you invest in doing it easily erases any financial gains. It's your car, you spent thousands on it, and you should know how to take care of the simple things like changing your oil or replacing a flat. It's laughable how many friends of mine can't do either (I have some great flat tire changing stories for another day).

A 27-year-old Niagara Falls, Ont., man was killed early Sunday in a one-car crash on Townline Road in Fort Erie, Ont.
Niagara Regional Police were withholding the name of the victim until family members are notified.
Police said they responded to the collision site on Townline Road, east of Switch Road, after a passing motorist notified authorities about 2:50 a.m. in the Town of Fort Erie.
Initial police investigation revealed that the 27-year-old driver was ejected from his 2003 Dodge Durango after he lost control of his vehicle as it headed eastbound on Townline Road. Police said he was the only person in the vehicle, which left the road, veered into ditch, rolled and struck a utility pole.
The victim was taken to Greater Niagara Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Police said they are continuing to investigate the crash. Any witnesses or anyone with information are asked to contact investigators at 905 688-4111, Ext. 5500.

When the only Republican on the Cheektowaga Town Board brought up the idea of downsizing the board from seven members to five, the reaction from her colleagues was less than enthusiastic.
Based on what has happened in the last five years when this issue has come up in other towns, I would like to offer the Democrats on the board a piece of unsolicited advice: Give in. Opposing downsizing is a no-win situation.
You might think that having a stranglehold on town government means that one Republican's suggestion, which may or may not be a transparent publicity grab, is nothing to worry about. You might want to think again. Ask your friends in other towns how it worked for them when they got in the way of public downsizing votes. Even some residents who said they didn't particularly care for the idea voted to eliminate members from their boards just because they objected to the arrogance of officials being opposed to giving the public a chance to have its say.
And those Town Boards had five members; you are the only Town Board in Erie County with seven. You say you're all needed. But Amherst has 34,000 more people than you and is downsizing from seven to five. You're not saying your job is harder than theirs, are you?
Although they complain incessantly about the difficulty in working within the confines of Open Meetings Laws, the towns with three-member boards also seem to be doing OK. But you're going to make the argument that your town alone in Erie County needs a seven-member Town Board? Good luck with that one.
What you might not understand is that when you say no to downsizing – or worse, work against any proposal to let it come to a public vote – even your supporters wonder what you're afraid of. If you're sure that citizens love things as they are, roll out the voting machines and let the town electorate validate your opinion.
If you don't, you know what's coming: Kevin Gaughan and his volunteers knocking on doors to gather signatures to force a public vote. Gaughan has been here before, but now that he has an ally on the Town Board, there is a better chance that he'll get enough petition signatures to force a vote.
If he does, don't make the mistake of filing a lawsuit because then voters will really start to wonder why you seem hellbent on circumventing democracy.
And don't make the case that Gaughan is an outsider who doesn't understand Cheektowaga. You might be different in some ways, but you're not unique. And he apparently has access to a street atlas because he figures out where the voters are and, from what I hear, even lets them use his pen.
Speaking of mistakes, don't think this whole downsizing movement has fizzled because voters summarily rejected eliminating village government around the same time as the original downsizing votes. (I made the same mistake). It's going to be tough to hear this, but it turns out the voters are more sentimental about the name of their community than they are about the names or the number of people making decisions about the community.
One last thing: In November, when voters in two previously downsized communities had a chance to go back to five members, they said no.
By doing what you did last week, you might think that this whole thing is over. It's not. In some ways, it might be just beginning.

"West Side Story" had Anybodys. "American Idiot" has Whatsername. "West Side Story" fans know that tomboy Anybodys moves from a Jets groupie to a genuine gang member trying to safeguard Tony.
By contrast, Whatsername grows from a drug-taking girlfriend to a liberated woman taking steps to determine her own destiny.
Gabrielle McClinton, who is playing Whatsername on the national tour of "American Idiot," recently spoke to the Banner about her budding career, her plum part, and the Broadway hit, which runs at the Boston Opera House Jan. 24-29.
If Whatsername eventually begins to carve out her own life's journey, McClinton has already begun to do the same. A graduate of both the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts and Carnegie Mellon School of Drama with a BFA in music theatre/acting, the 22-year-old Los Angeles native — now based in New York City — already boasts an impressive resumé.
Her musical credentials include such shows as "Annie," "Hairspray" and "The Music Man" at MUNY in St. Louis and "West Side Story," "Oliver" and "The Producers" at Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera.
Her favorite prior to the national tour was "The Producers," in which she sang and danced in the numerous ensemble sequences.
"We were on stage a lot," she said. "We had a lot to do. It was really thrilling."
At Carnegie Mellon, she performed in "Floyd Collins" and "How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying" and even acted in the Suzanne Lori Parks play "In the Blood" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (the fairy queen Titania).
Very committed to developing her talents in musicals and plays, she has had master classes with the likes of composer Steven Schwartz ("Wicked") and actors Phylicia Rashad ("A Raisin in the Sun") and Patrick Wilson ("The Full Monty"). McClinton has also studied such dance styles as ballet, African, jazz, modern and tap.
"American Idiot," as her debut in a national tour, marks a new challenge for the busy young performer. Speaking of the role of Whatsername and the musical, she observed, "It's a really intense journey (for her character among others). It's super intense. The emotions are at their fullest intensity at all times."
Make no mistake about McClinton's responses to the challenge. She is fully embracing the experience of the tour. "I'm learning new things about her (Whatsername) every night," she says.
McClinton gives high marks to Whatsername. "She doesn't care what people think," she noted. "She's so liberated and so passionate. She gives herself to others and she cares a lot."
At the same time, she added, "There are so many different levels. She's so hurt. She does love Johnny."

Nokia Lumia 900 vs HTC Titan II: Specs comparison
0. phoneArena 09 Jan 2012, 20:02 posted on
Today was indeed a great day for Windows Phone fans, or at least for those across the U.S. At CES 2012, we were introduced to the Nokia Lumia 900 and the HTC Titan II, both running Windows Phone Mango...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. Birds (Posts: 1157; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
Tough choice....But I'd go for the Nokia becasue that is one sexy piece of chocalate. In this department, it only comes down to design. lol Both phones are soooooo sweet!
24. raunak (Posts: 507; Member since: 12 Oct 2011)
and also because 900's battery is going to be better. it has a smaller screen and its amoled so it'll consume less power. but i think in browsing, titan2's battery will be better
2. knights4life03 (Posts: 131; Member since: 09 Jun 2011)
i think i would go with the lumia 900 only because the superior beautiful design that nokia has and the pixel density and screen technology. other than that, i wish i could have both because htc titan has a huge screen and im a big fan of huge screens even tho i have average sized hands, i still find a way to work it out. and the 16 megapixel camera! thats effin amazing! its not going to replace super dslr cameras or wide angel digitals but definetly beat any camera on a phone even the iphone 4s! but i think i will take lumia because it looks so dang on appealing to me especially the cyan version omg tech orgasm! :)
25. raunak (Posts: 507; Member since: 12 Oct 2011)
i have a feeling that this 16mp camera isnt going to be better than n8 but it'll be better than 900's.
40. shadez10 (Posts: 427; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
yep you're right... i saw some sample pics from titan 2 and it looks crappy... n8 is still better...
3. JesterB (Posts: 17; Member since: 17 Nov 2011)
Tough Choice. I would have to see the clear back and the super lcd up close. All in all, good for windows phone.
4. ReturningToNokia (Posts: 130; Member since: 09 Jul 2011)
For my money, Nokia Lumia 900 - f2.4 aperature for the ffc, Carl Zeiss optics for the rear camera, 20 EA games exclusive to Nokia Lumia devices, superior telephony, not too big - not too small form factor, and not to mention the most beautfully designed phone currently on the market.
Uh, huh...Nokia FTW!
34. Schmao (Posts: 357; Member since: 05 Jul 2009)
If this is the same camera on the Lumia 800 then the Titan 2 will blow it out of the water. The original Titan was superior to the 800.

Nokia Lumia 900. HTC Titan II looks great but the Lumia is just too sexy.

totally! i'm usually an HTC fangirl but really the titan cannot stand up to the lumina at all. too bad i'm still firmly in the "android or bust" group or i would be drooling right about now. :)
14. knights4life03 (Posts: 131; Member since: 09 Jun 2011)
greatly im in the "watever phone more appealing and will not be beatin so early" group i kinda hate super fandroids or apple diehards but at least ur not one of those ppl who are like " my htc ________ will crush that wp7 into pieces or wp7 is crap type of person" i respect that from ppl
16. XiphiasGladius (Posts: 813; Member since: 21 Aug 2011)
Yep, phones are phones it all comes down to personal preference anyways. . .
21. hunted (Posts: 403; Member since: 21 Sep 2011)
A 16megapixel camera should have a full hd recording and not 720p. Never mind about that ill go for Nokia 900 :)
35. Schmao (Posts: 357; Member since: 05 Jul 2009)
You can thank Microsoft for limiting us to 720p. Just wondering - does 1080p really look that much better?

Not much... and not unless you have the screen to fully optimize that quality...

My first foray into the realm of WP7 is by way of HTC Radar I bought a month ago... and my experience with it is more than satisfying! But in this showdown, I think I would go with the Nokia. I think the 4.3" display size is just right. I'm sure there are a lot others who would love the bigger display size of the HTC, but it's not for me.
But good luck to both though!
I wonder if the rumored Samsung Mandel going to be announce also at the CES2012.

Tough choice, but I'd go for the Nokia; I've only ever owned Nokia or HTC phones, so that makes the choice even harder, but I'll stay with Nokia on this, they have too much going for them to not pick one up.
That being said, I'll hold off on signing a new contract until one comes out with an N8-grade (or better!) camera

its definitely the lumia 900 going to be picked by customers the most because that freakin sweet design that is so appealing over the titan 2. nokia is the shizz when it comes to design. beats iphone 4/4s design and htc or samsung's galaxy sII designs out of the blue all the way

11. Just_a_boy (Posts: 183; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Lumia 900 won. The CBD is way better than S-LCD on HTC. And 16Mpx? Why exaggerate on resolution, resolution and quality aren't the same.
12. knights4life03 (Posts: 131; Member since: 09 Jun 2011)
so true bro and too many ppl do not ge that so thats why the titan 2 is an iffy

Lumia design.. that is one of the best designs I've ever seen on a mobile device in the 21st century. I'd like to meet the designer and congratulate him. He has set the bar for "sleek design".
Although the "specs" of Titan 2 are good on paper.. that's one ugly product. Even if you were to buy a phone ONLY for looks.. Lumia, hands down.
17. snowgator (Posts: 3586; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
I won't bury the Titan part 2 yet. Nokia is the big dawg in the WP yard, but HTC has had time to work on the "superphone" in the WP performance area, and they have had LTE phones out while this is Nokia first shot at a monster device and LTE. Now, I am with everyone else here, I think the Nokia will be the device that launches WP into a great 2012. But HTC can hit this out of the park, they truly can. I will be excited to play with these. Gonna have a good time......

Why can't either of them come to Verizon?! I'm gonna need a new smartphone but I don't trust google worth a damn(less than I trust Microsoft, not that that is really saying much), but all big red's got is the age-old Trophy and a buncha Blackberry's!! It's android or bust over here and I lose more resolve every day!
19. bongky (Posts: 12; Member since: 28 Jul 2011)
Definitely lumia here. The HTC looks like an overgrown baby compared to the sleek and sexy lumia. The design of the lumia really blow the competition out of water. Even I admit it looks better than my iPhone 4S. Really a sweet design and the camera specs, drooling!
I'll wait until WP7 migrates to dual core. After spending time with iPhone 4S, living with single core will be rather hard for me. Everything just boots up and load faster. So Microsoft, please release the next generation of windows phone that strives on dual core. To me, quad core is just overkill. Battery technology can't even keep up to dual core yet,what more to say quad core.

Nokia lumia 900 has 1.4GHz Snapdragon APQ8055 while titan 2 has 1.5GHz Snapdragon MSM8255....does this makes a difference ???
27. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
nokia wins this round
Amoled vs LCD
Amoled is better on battery
bigger battery
better camera optics
and then theres that elephant in the room... ONLY nokia phones come with nokia's superior maps/navigation system (compared to bing maps or paid telenav) and nokia only apps suites. The HTC would have to be hugely superior to the nokia to make up that difference.
29. Reverse (Posts: 3; Member since: 10 Jan 2012)
so true.
Nokia hits the home run.
28. agamhonda (Posts: 14; Member since: 11 Oct 2011)
I haven't had a chane to check out a Nokia phone in person. My choice right now would be a the TITAN only because HTC makes it. I think they make the most best quality phones out there right now.
30. knights4life03 (Posts: 131; Member since: 09 Jun 2011)
I think nokia just beat htc in design... u should get ur hands on a n9 or a lumia 800 becuz tge design based on these devices
32. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
I havent gotten my paws on the 900, but even the "cheap" nokia 710 is feels well built, which is more than i can say for cheap HTC phones. If the built quality goes up with the 800 and 900, its probably a very nice handset infront.
Is it just me? I'd take the cyan one over the black. it just catches my eye more.
33. knights4life03 (Posts: 131; Member since: 09 Jun 2011)
Yes cyan looks so dang good i would take cyan

39. Jylppy (Posts: 1; Member since: 10 Jan 2012)
16Mpx camera in mobile phone? What a massive noise generator. Avoid it at all costs. Mpx-race is over. Other parameters affect more to the image quality and imaging experience.
Pro-level DSLRs have far larger sensors, but still even there Canon and Nikon have scaled down Mpx (Canon: 22 -> 18Mpx, Nikon: 24 -> 16Mpx). Why? To get faster serial shooting speeds, better low-light performance, better high-ISO performance, less noise - i.e. better image quality. And please remember that mobile phone camera sensor is far smaller than pro-DSLR sensor:
It is not the number of pixels, but number of QUALITY pixels that count.
Lumia is true beauty, HTC looks so average. Not a difficult choice for me.
42. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
tough choice, but between the 2 I'd still take the nokia
-nokia turn by turn navigation, HTC doesnt have it.
-amoled looks better
-amoled is better on battery
-the smaller screen (between 2 giants, lol) is going to be way more battery efficient
-nokia has the bigger battery
-nokia's high end camera hardware should make up for HTC's higher pixel count, especially since they are both just 720p cameras
- cheaper
And I'd bet dollars to donuts, that if one of those 2 devices were going to lose support first, it would be the HTC since Nokia is so cozy with MS.
43. Lonnie (Posts: 1; Member since: 21 Mar 2012)
Like present HTC Titan better becuase of the messaging and phone key pads. This will continue to be a plus and the new HTC has a faster processor.
44. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
they have the same processor. the only difference between the chips that i saw was one has the radios built in, and the other does not. Other than that, its the same CPU/GPU combination. 1.4 to 1.5ghz is negligible and will only diminish battery while giving next to no benefits. Considering that the crapdragon processor used is already battery hungry, the combination of LCD+bigger screen+ smaller battery+higher core clocks = waaay less battery life on the HTC.
If you dont mind living on the charger, the HTC will be fine.
45. jeffdachef (Posts: 1; Member since: 28 Apr 2012)
my friend has the htc titan 2 and i have the lumia 900 and i compared it side by side, processor speed is pretty much even. lumia has nokia apps that htc doesnt. buuut. Camera quality is a whole different level. Nokia's pictures looks completely s**t compared to the titan 2 and the titan 2. The titan 2's pictures are way more clear crisp and brighter then the lumia 900. has way louder and clearer sound then the nokia. i was at volume level 30 and the titan 2 was at level 15 and it was drowning my music. At level 30 it still maintains clarity and its the loudest phone i ever heard. Also for style wise, the nokia looks better then the titan 2 but the titan 2 can just buy a killer looking case and that'll solve the problem. price is only 50 dollars different, i'd opt for the titan 2 if your a user thats focused on use and not looks.

Erie police probe reported abduction attempt
Erie police are investigating a report of an attempted child abduction on the city's east side on Tuesday afternoon.
Police said a 10-year-old boy who was standing in the 1100 block of East Ninth Street while waiting for his mother said a man wearing a black mask grabbed him by his T-shirt and started pulling him toward some railroad tracks. The boy said he was able to break free and ran off, police said this morning.
An officer who responded saw that the boy's shirt was stretched out at the collar and had holes in it.
The suspect was described as a tall, skinny male.

Today we celebrate the arrival of the first African Elephants at Sanctuary – Tange and Zula.
We believe that Tange was born in 1973, Zula in 1975. Although both Girls were acquired in the same area at the same time, it is not known if they were actually related. They received their names after being sold to the Chehaw Wild Animal Park in Albany, Georgia in 1978. They spent the better part of the next three decades sharing living quarters, spending their nights chained to the barn floor.
After a change in management at the animal park, it was decided that Tange and Zula would be retired to The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee. On February 19, 2004, Tange and Zula became the tenth and eleventh residents and the first African elephants at Sanctuary. They were joined by Flora, another retiring African elephant, a month later. Sadly, Zula passed away in 2009. Flora and Tange are very close now, and they are often spotted engaging in their favorite activity: uprooting trees and stripping the bark and leaves.

Hanahan police on Friday arrested a man after a 5-month-old boy was hospitalized in critical condition with a fractured skull.
Derek Allan Stilson, 23, of Murray Drive, is accused of throwing his son onto the living room floor when he wouldn't stop crying, an affidavit states. He was charged with infliction of great bodily injury upon a child, Hanahan Police Lt. Michael Fowler said.
Stilson's son was transported to Medical University Hospital on Thursday with a fractured skull and bleeding and swelling on the brain, Fowler said. The child is still at the hospital in critical condition and has been placed in protective custody, he said.
A judge on Saturday set Stilson's bail at $250,000 bail. He is being held at the Berkeley County jail.

Every year, when the Stewardship Appeal comes around, in whatever name, I am reminded of my old friend, Msgr. Francis Costello, who was for many years a pastor here in the archdiocese.
Back in the 1980s, some smart person had the notion of combining the collection for retired religious men and women with the Cardinal's Appeal, as it was called then, highlighting the work these people had done. Well, the appeal was a great success.
Msgr. Costello understood why. "You know," he said to me, "I couldn't for the life of me tell you the name of the priest who gave me my first Holy Communion. I am not sure which bishop confirmed me. However, I can tell you the names of the sisters who prepared me for those sacraments and, in fact, the name of every sister who ever taught me." He then proceeded to demonstrate that he did indeed remember them all and the grade year they taught.
I was happy to hear on Sunday in the Cathedral that our gifts to this year's appeal will help support religious sisters and brothers who have worked long beyond the time when most people retire and now need care themselves.
By the way, when you give to the Stewardship Appeal, you also support the mission of the Archdiocesan Catechetical Office, which trains the parish catechetical leaders and catechists who carry in the great tradition of those selfless religious sisters and brothers, who worked for little or no remuneration.
When you make your pledge this year, see if you can remember who prepared you for the sacraments and enriched your understanding of your God-given faith. I have a feeling that like my old friend, Msgr. Costello, you will be able to reel off all their names.

On October 10, 1957, the Milwaukee Braves defeat the New York Yankees to win their first World Series since 1914. (They played in Boston then; the team moved to Wisconsin in 1953.) No one expected the Braves to beat the Bombers: After all, the New York team had already won the championship 21 times. Their manager, Casey Stengel, was the winningest in postseason history, and their lineup was spangled with superstars like Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle. But the Braves had outfielder Hank Aaron, who'd hit 44 home runs and batted .322 that season, and a pitching staff that included the greats Bob Buhl, Warren Spahn and Lew Burdette.

After traveling 120 million miles in seven months, NASA's Mars Pathfinder becomes the first U.S. spacecraft to land on Mars in more than two decades. In an ingenious, cost-saving landing procedure, Pathfinder used parachutes to slow its approach to the Martian surface and then deployed airbags to cushion its impact. Colliding with the Ares Vallis floodplain at 40 miles an hour, the spacecraft bounced high into the Martian atmosphere 16 times before safely coming to rest.

Her companion, Dodi Fayed, was killed instantly in the 12:25 a.m. crash, as was driver Henri Paul, who was drunk and lost control of the Mercedes in a highway underpass. He was driving at excessive speeds in a reckless attempt to escape paparazzi photographers. Diana's bodyguard, Trevor Rees Jones, escaped with serious but nonfatal injuries. He was the only one wearing his seat belt. The death of Diana, beloved by millions for her beauty and good nature, plunged the world into mourning.

On this day in 1814, Francis Scott Key pens a poem which is later set to music and in 1931 becomes America's national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner." The poem, originally titled "The Defence of Fort McHenry," was written after Key witnessed the Maryland fort being bombarded by the British during the War of 1812. Key was inspired by the sight of a lone U.S. flag still flying over Fort McHenry at daybreak, as reflected in the now-famous words of the "Star-Spangled Banner": "And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there."

A man accused of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old jogger in Summerville told a friend that he planned to "go looking for girls on the bike trail that day" in January, a police detective testified Wednesday.
After he saw a sketch of the assailant, the friend called authorities and relayed that account, which broke the case open, Detective Craig Baker of the Summerville Police Department said. Five days after the Jan. 9 incident, police arrested 20-year-old Michael Glen Evans. Inside a bedroom in his home on Ravenswood Court, officers found a folding knife they said Evans held to the young woman's throat as he assaulted her on the Sawmill Branch Walk/Bike Trail.
"There were hundreds of tips that came in" after the sketch was distributed by news media, Baker said. "The only one that led to any information, though, was the one from that witness."
Baker's testimony about the random daytime attack came during a preliminary hearing for Evans, who is charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct, kidnapping and possession of a knife during the commission of a violent crime.
The counts carry up to 65 years in prison.
Dressed in striped jail garb and with his hands cuffed together, Evans shook his head as Baker answered attorneys' questions. Evans' nodding continued even as Baker paused to consult his notes.
In the gallery, three loved ones of the 17-year-old comforted each other. Two women wept and dabbed their eyes with tissues. Her parents have said that she fears leaving the house.
At the proceeding's end, Summerville Municipal Court Chief Judge David Whittington ruled that investigators had shown probable cause for further prosecution. Evans' public defender, Mitchell Farley, offered no motions for dismissal.
Evans had three past arrests on charges of theft of a firearm and marijuana possession.
It was marijuana that he blamed for his hazy memory of the day when the woman was attacked near 1885 Bacons Bridge Road, according to police.
He told Baker and another detective that he had been visiting the friend and former high school classmate on Langley Drive, about a quarter-mile from the crime scene. At some point early that morning, Evans said, he smoked marijuana that might have been "laced with PCP," Baker testified.
The drug typically causes hallucinations.
During the visit, Evans "made a suspicious comment" to the friend about looking for girls on the bike path, Baker added.
He left the friend's place riding a dark bicycle and wearing a camouflage jacket, the friend told police. Those descriptors were crucial in connecting Evans with the crime, Baker said.
The woman told investigators that she had jogged past her eventual attacker near the entrance of the Evergreen subdivision, according to Baker. Before long, a bicyclist rammed her, pulled her into the woods at knifepoint and assaulted her.
The woman screamed for help. An elderly man walked up to the commotion, the detective said.
Baker said that the attacker told the man that he was just "messing with my girlfriend." But the woman yelled that she didn't know him.
The man scurried off to get help. When a younger man came running to the woman's aid, the attacker fled, Baker said. In an interview that was not recorded, Baker said, Evans acknowledged involvement in the crime.
"He saw a girl and thought that she looked good," Baker testified. "He stated that he then pinched her."
But the woman slapped Evans, Baker said he told detectives. That's when he said he blacked out, probably because of the marijuana he had been smoking, according to Baker.
Regardless of the suspect's self-professed lack of consciousness, Baker said, Evans admitted to most of the attack, except certain elements of the sexual contact. Evans had asked the detectives whether his prison time would be lenient if he cooperated, but Baker said the police offered him nothing.
Evans had denied the incident at first and said, "I ain't got that in me," according to Baker, but he later said that he was sorry for what had happened.

CHALRES TOWN - With the end of his 12th year in the state Senate coming to a close, Sen. Herb Snyder will again be returning to his long-held Senate seat for another four-year term.
Snyder gathered 20,434 votes, with opposing Republican candidate Jim Ruland ending with 17,450 votes in the senatorial district that includes portions of both Jefferson and Berkeley counties.
"I am humbled once again. I'm always humbled to win an election," Snyder said. "I don't know if it's all the work that I've done or reflection of my reputation in Charleston, that I think is pretty good, but I'm very, very pleased," he said.
Currently serving as the Chairman of the Senate Government Organizations Committee, a position that he said brings more weight into the Eastern Panhandle's voice in Charleston. Snyder also serves as part of the Senate Rules Committee.
"It's our turn," Snyder said of the Eastern Panhandle. "That, aside any issue roads or taxes or healthcare it's our time," he said.
According to Snyder, West Virginia's bond rating has been increased by Wall Street; the state has addressed every long term debt it had; and has lowered taxes through fiscal responsibility.
Before the election, Snyder disagreed with his Republican challenger, in that the state is not a mess to clean up, and he is proud of the state and the work that Sen. Joe Manchin and Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin have done in reference to fiscal responsibility.
"It's very easy to stand outside when you're promoting yourself in the political campaign. I think it's shameless to say how bad West Virginia is. I dare say that West Virginia is in the best managerial and fiscal shape it's been in the history of the state," Snyder said in a previous interview with The Journal. Although he said this has been a "rough" election year with all the "negative, dirty politics," he is very pleased with the turnout.
"This makes me want to work that much harder for the people, because I know they are paying attention," Snyder said.
Snyder, 58, lives on a beef-cattle farm in Shenandoah Junction next to Wildwood Middle School. In fact, he sold the land on which the school sits to the Jefferson County Board of Education. Snyder is an environmental chemist by trade, father to six children and grandfather to five.

The recent cold snap has my hopes up: Maybe we won't be swatting mosquitoes in the duck blind all season long again.
And maybe, just maybe, we'll see a good push of birds right off the bat.
There certainly seem to be plenty of woodies around, at any rate.
Last week about two dozen flocks of fast-moving, low-flying wood ducks zipped over my head as I sat in a deer stand near the Santee River. I bet there were 150 or more birds, in all.
That got my attention.
Late-season waterfowl hunting starts this Saturday, and you can bet the pre-dawn waters of the ACE Basin and Santee Delta will be swarming with blind-covered john boats.
With any luck, I'll be out there, too, either wading through flooded timber or tucked in the blind on my buddy's decked-out War Eagle.
Rules and regs
The duck and goose seasons run Nov. 23-Dec. 1, then Dec. 7-Jan. 26.
There's a Feb. 6-Feb. 15 extension for Canada and white-fronted geese. (There are exclusion for Clarendon County and parts of Orangeburg and Berkeley counties, so check online at dnr.sc.gov.)
Shooting hours are from half-hour before sunrise until sunset, and those times vary slightly depending on geographic location (check the state's Migratory Game Bird Hunting Guidebook for a chart).
Waterfowl hunters must use loads with nontoxic shot and plug their guns so they hold only three rounds.
They must carry a state Migratory Waterfowl permit ($5.50), a federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp ($15, signed across the face of the stamp), a state Migratory Bird Permit (free) and a basic hunting license. If you're hunting waterfowl on Wildlife Management Area, you'll need a WMA permit, too ($30.50).
The daily per-person limit is six ducks. This aggregate limit can include any combination of teal, gadwall, ringnecks, shovelers and other common duck species.
However, your take must include no more than four mallards (two hens), two pintails, one fulvous whistling duck, one black-bellied whistling duck, three wood ducks, two redheads, one canvasback, four scaup, and one black duck or one mottled duck.
Separate total possession limits apply (for multi-day trips, for example), so check online.
Mergansers, sea ducks, geese, brant and coots have their own limits or seasons, so again, check DNR's site or pick up a copy of the hunting guidebook.
The daily bag limit for coot is 15. The possession limit is 45. The merganser daily bag limit is five, not to include more than one hooded merganser. The possession limit is 15, not to include more than three hooded mergansers.
The daily bag limit for blue and snow geese is 25. There is no possession limit.
The daily bag limit for Canada and white fronted geese is five, not to include more than two white-fronted geese. Possession limit is 15, not to include more than six white-fronted geese.

"Ducks at a Distance: A Waterfowl Identification Guide"
Dove season opens up
The year's remaining dove season segments will run Nov. 23-30 and Dec. 19-Jan. 15. Shooting time is half-hour before sunrise until sunset.
