Her name is Dee Murdy, and her son Kirk was among the 156 men, women and children who died Aug. 16, 1987, when Northwest Flight 255 crashed as it was taking off from an airport in Detroit. The plane was bound for Phoenix.
"This is a very difficult week," she says. "It was hard that first year. It has been hard every year since. We had Kirk's memorial on his birthday, August 20. They hadn't yet found his body. We went ahead because John (her husband) and I, and his brother, Craig, we didn't want to wait. It would have been too much for us. It was too much anyway. At least for me. Kirk would have turned 23 that day, four days after the accident."
More than 100 people with ties to Phoenix died when Flight 255 went down.
Dee had taken both her husband and her son to the airport that day. Back then, the family split time between Jackson, Mich., and Phoenix. Their other son, Craig, a lawyer, had returned to Phoenix earlier. Dee's husband was headed to Houston on a business trip. Kirk was on his way to Phoenix to pack up his belongings. He was scheduled to begin graduate school in Oklahoma.
"I told Kirk, 'Why don't you stay home for a while longer with me. We'll celebrate your birthday,' " Dee recalls. "But he wanted to get to Phoenix and get his stuff together for school."
After dropping off her husband and son at the airport, Dee started to drive home.
On takeoff, Kirk's plane rose only about 50 feet before clipping a light pole, and then the roof of a building. The plane slammed into the ground near a highway overpass, bursting into flames. Everyone on board died except for a 4-year-old girl.
"I saw the plane hit the building," Dee says. "I saw the flames. I had to drive home to Jackson. I don't know how I got there. I saw a counselor for quite a few months afterward. I swore that I heard the screaming of the people on the plane. But they told me that it wasn't people on the plane that I heard. They said it was me."
Dee and her husband have lived in Phoenix for several years now. On the anniversary of the crash, she places flowers at the memorial to the victims of Flight 255 that was erected outside Phoenix City Hall a few years back.
"I haven't gotten over it," she says, beginning to cry. "You can't help but wonder about what Kirk would be doing. Would he be married? Would I have grandchildren? Even little things, like, would he have lost his hair? You wonder about everything. Everything."
She exchanged e-mails a few years back with Cecilia Cichan, the only survivor of the crash. And she spoke to the mother of the woman who was sitting next to Kirk on the plane. But her family is a private one. For the most part, they've kept their grief to themselves.
"I hope that people will remember," Dee says. "There were so many wonderful young lives were lost that day. So much potential."
The 20th anniversary of the tragedy may mean more to us than to the families of those who were lost. For them, there are no time intervals between commemorations.
"It's a part of my daily life," she says. "It will be forever. But a lot of the new people we've met aren't even aware of what happened with Kirk. It's hard to go back over things, to relive it again and again, so we don't bring it up."
A few of Kirk's cowboy hats are on display in their house, for instance.
"We have them out where we can see them, but we don't say, 'Those were Kirk's,' " Dee says. "We say, 'Oh, that, that's the cowboy room.' "

Two years ago, a Camden firefighter pulled a charred man from a Liberty Street fire, leaving blood on the firefighter's hands and face.
The firefighter, who now suffers from Hepatitis B, suspects he may have contracted the disease from the victim's body fluids and blood.
But, because the fire victim died, there is no way to prove that the firefighter contracted the disease on the job. And the firefighter, who declined to be identified, still has relapses of the disease, becoming jaundiced and weak.

I was looking for a soft smelling natural product to wash my newborn. This one fit that description perfectly. It lathers up very nice and leaves such a soft welcoming scent. I have even started using it for my daily face wash, very moisturizing. My only con is the size of it, it is harder to lather up. But I cut mine into 4 pieces and it is much easier to handle. (Posted on 4/10/15)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!

What advice would you give someone starting this project? You can make the gifts all face one way in a row, or you can make some upside down so at the dinner table everyone can see a gift from all sides. Granny did the quilting on her new longarm quilter I told GranDude to get her, so she needed all the edges to be bigger so it could be pinned on. She marked the finished size and only quilted inside the marks.
Excellent job - very impressed nice job - well done.
I really like what you girls created. Your creation is wonderful. Thank you for your wonderful instructions. Well done. Your Granny's quilting is just perfect for your piece. Thank you for sharing. :-)

You did a beautiful job of piecing your adorable tablerunner, and your mommy looks SO happy. Something to keep and remember together for years to come. Happy New Year!

FLINT, MI -- In Flint, professional boxer Anthony Dirrell is known as "The Champ," which is embroidered on the front headrests of the leather seats in the pearl 1984 Buick Regal he drives in the Back to the Bricks Rolling Cruise. The undefeated boxer, honking his horn in response to the bystanders yelling out to him as he rolls by, is ready to make that title official to the world in a couple of months.
At 28, Dirrell (26-0, 22 KO's) is finally getting the title shot he's dreamed about since first putting on a pair of boxing gloves at 9 years old.
Dirrell's WBC super middleweight prizefight is set for Oct. 26 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. He will face WBC titleholder Sakio Bika on Showtime. Golden Boy chief executive Richard Schaefer, the promoter, is working with Dirrell's adviser Al Haymon on the final terms of the deal.
"Just to get this chance for this championship is surreal and I don't know how I will feel once I win it," a beaming Dirrell said with a grin, while playing with his 18-month-old son, Anthony Dirrell Jr., in the living room of his Burton home. "I've been doing this for 20 years and that's what every little kid fights for.
"I can picture myself being raised up on my cousin's arms with the belt in my hand," he imagined. "I can already envision it. I know it will happen. It's destined."
Cancer and a motorcycle accident stymied Dirrell's title hopes in the past. But Dirrell doesn't regret any of those experiences. They only intensified The Dog's, fierce persona. Dirrell was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a form of cancer, in December 2006, which kept him away from boxing for almost two years. His mother, Lola Dirrell, called that her son's lowest point in life. She gets emotional reliving the moment when the family first thought the cancer may have returned.
"One time, I was at work and he came and visited me after his chemo and I seen this strange look on his face then he started crying and left back out so I had to leave to check on him," said Lola Dirrell, as she wiped tears from her eyes, struggling to tell the story. "When I left, he told me that the cancer was back and bigger than ever, in the driveway of my home and this was after we thought he was cleared.
"He was crying so badly but then my mother prayed with him and the doctors sent him to Ypsilanti to get checked again and they couldn't find anything," she said. "Prayer definitely changes things."
After knocking out cancer, Dirrell returned to the ring stronger than ever in 2008. He won 12 straight fights, dropping all but two opponents before suffering another setback with an injury from a motorcycle crash in May 2012 that sidelined him for another 17 months. At the time, Dirrell was listed as the WBC's top-ranked super middleweight contender, preparing for a title match with Nikola Sjekloca. His grandfather and coach, Leon "Bumper" Lawson, couldn't believe Dirrell would do such a thing as get on a motorcycle.
"I was very upset and disappointed because he was supposed to be babysitting and the next thing I know is that I was getting calls to come to the hospital to find out Anthony's been in an accident," said Lawson, who introduced Anthony to the sport. "I figured he would be back, though, because he's not a quitter. All of those obstacles were coming up that made me wonder if it was meant for him or not but his record speaks for itself. He's back to being himself, knocking people out."
Doubt also crept into Dirrell's head, especially as he dealt with cancer, but his family and faith in God kept him strong. Dirrell's longtime girlfriend Shondrika Williams, also the mother of Anthony Jr., comforted him through all the setbacks, too. She sat with her man in chemotherapy treatments and cooked for him after he broke his left leg and fractured his arm on the motorcycle. She said the accident may have been a blessing in disguise.
"When he started walking again after the accident I witnessed him become more determined," said 26-year-old Williams, a 2004 graduate of Flint Southwestern Academy. "He came back better and stronger. That humbled him out a little bit, too, because he realized that his opportunity could be gone very quickly."
All of Dirrell's success and misfortunes have been public knowledge for the people in the community. Local media has documented all of the highs and lows so his hometown audience can vouch for Dirrell's transformation. He's a regular customer at Flint's World Class Bar-B-Q on Saginaw Street, which he calls the best outside of his own. When Dirrell shows up, Helen "Big Momma" Stewart knows he wants his Polish sausage cooked well done and split up the middle. She calls him a "very likeable guy."
Premier Audio Concepts owner Gary Paquette has known Dirrell and his family for years. He's used to Dirrell popping up daily to hang around his electronics and audio business. Paquette even sells Dirrell T-shirts for $10 and says he's been "the same person since day one."
"After his last fight, he flew home the very next day like he didn't even fight," Paquette said. "He's real down to earth. He's a fighter and he's been through a lot. It's going to be great when he wins. It's happening."
Dirrell will take off for training camp on the first week of September with his grandfather Lawson, trainer Javan "Sugar" Hill, cousin Earl Thompson and his brother Willie Dirrell III. He will complete workouts in Traverse City for 8-10 weeks, which is two weeks more than usual, because he knows what's at stake with Bika's title on the line.
Bika (32-5-2, 21 KO's) is a proven opponent, with bouts against Andre Ward and Joe Calzaghe under his belt, But Dirrell is ready to make the transition from hometown hero to world champion. Next year, when Dirrell drives through downtown's bricks, he's expecting to have a world title wrapped around his waist. No excuses.
"Flint raised me," said Dirrell. "It's rough and rugged with good and bad, but Flint is known for their athletes and with the people that succeed -- they have helped guide me. A championship belt hasn't been done since Chris Byrd, so to get one would mean a lot."

Book Talk - That's So Gay!: Microaggressions and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community
- 408 Zankel
That's So Gay!: Microaggressions and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community
(Perspectives on Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity)
A Book Talk by Dr. Kevin Nadal - Professor, Psychology and Mental Health Counseling – John Jay College (Ph.D. Counseling Psychology, Teachers College)
Tuesday, November 19th, 2013
3:00 - 5:00 pm, 408 Zankel
People who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) experience subtle forms of discrimination, also known as microaggressions. Microaggressions are commonplace interactions that occur in a wide variety of social settings, including school or the workplace, among friends and family, and even among other LGBT people. These accumulated experiences are associated with feelings of victimization, suicidal thinking, and higher rates of substance abuse, depression, and other health problems among members of the LGBT community. In this book, Kevin Nadal provides a thought-provoking review of the literature on discrimination and microaggressions toward LGBT people. The generous use of case examples makes the book ideal for gender studies courses and discussion groups. Each case is followed by analysis of the elements involved in microaggressions and discussion questions for the reader to reflect upon.
This book includes advice for mental health practitioners, organizational leaders, educators, and students who want to adopt LGBT-accepting worldviews and practices. It has tips for how to discuss and advocate for LGBT issues in the realms of family, community, educational systems, and the government.

THE GIZMO: Multiple makers of notebook computers are singing the same sweet song at the big Germany electronics show IFA - hailing the arrival of the "Ultrabook." Coming "soon" to these shores, too, the Ultrabook is a new class of ultrathin, fast and efficient Windows 7 laptops, all built around a reference design developed by Intel and thus having many features in common.
WHAT'S THE POINT?: Tablet (a/k/a "slate") computers, especially the iPad, are eating laptop makers' lunch. Spoiling you from using anything else, these slim units pack light, run all day on a battery charge and boot up almost instantly. That's all possible because tablets load the operating system and run programs off a solid-state drive (SSD), rather than from an inefficient (spinning) hard disk drive.

Matt Hicks is a fine, upstanding, attractive, young Brit – but would you believe he was Prince Harry of Wales?
That was just the predicament presented to 12 American girls who were whisked away to a European "castle" to meet a mystery man they would soon be told was the redheaded royal on the new FOX reality show I Wanna Marry "Harry".
"I was terrified to meet them," Hicks, 24, tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview. "It was quite a lot of pressure because I knew it was all riding on [them believing]."
But Hicks was provided a little assistance in keeping up the charade over the five weeks of filming. He went through extensive training with lessons in horse riding, etiquette, fencing, ballroom dancing and royal history. He was also surrounded by professional servants and a security detail with experience protecting heads of state.
"It was a grand illusion," says executive producer David Tibbals. "Every girl reacted differently [upon meeting Matt]. But after a little bit of time in that bubble, the ones that were skeptical began to believe."
For more on how the girls were duped, pick up the latest issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.

Saint G.K. Chesterton? Some Delight, Others Worry About Effort to Canonize Writer
Christians and Jews are mounting campaigns for and against a path to sainthood for British writer G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936), one of the world's best-known Catholic converts.
Roman Catholic Bishop Peter Doyle of Northampton, where Chesterton lived and worked, has ordered an examination of Chesterton's life — the first step in what is likely to be a long and unpredictable process toward canonization.

For most of the government jobs, the citizenship of that particular country is necessary. In some jobs agencies hire even the non citizens. Governments these days develop and update their web sites and the information about the available jobs is displayed on these sites. You can decide for which job you should apply depending upon your skills, talents and interests.
Among the main branches where the jobs are available include executive branch, legislative branch and judicial branch. Jobs are available in the central government offices, state government offices and regional offices. These jobs are always open to the promising youth off the country which can make a difference and contribute to the progress of the country.
Ideally transparency and discipline in all the dealings in the office routine are the main two expectations in government jobs. According to a few surveys, the number of youngsters interested in government jobs is increasing worldwide. The youth has realized that it is the main working force for the country and they can serve their country best by being a part of the government.

Couple of other thoughts on Cole:
- He had a triple double in the NCAA tournament, something that Greg Ostertag never got close to accomplishing. He's more mobile that O ever was, and has a great "motor."
- He's got good hands, which is why I think he can be a 14 ppg player for the Thunder through put-backs, alley-oops, and dumpoff passes from drives by Westbrook.
- As Owen mentioned, his Sophomore year development was crazy, but slowed a bit his Junior year. He did go through a lot of off-the-court issues last year at KU (a longtime illness that zapped his stamina and dealing with the death of his grandmother, who he was very close with). So it's possible with that stuff cleared up he could develop more going forward.
- I would put his floor at Greg Ostertag, with a ceiling of maybe Pryzbilla or Kaman. A pretty great pickup for the Thunder.

Thanks for listening,
Sounds like you've watched some Jayhawk/Aldrich basketball! Good thoughts. If he can be a 14ppg guy we will be a pretty scary team (especially if as you say, the offense doesn't have to run through him). Hope you're right about his ceiling/basement. If we can get a Pryzbilla or Kaman type without the injuries... watch out!

Good point above regarding Cole and his stamina issues this year.
He definitely seemed to labor at times and as mentioned it is fairly well documented that it was related to an nagging illness. That said, he's always had that issue to some degree.
If he can get his conditioning where it needs to be, which I think he can, the post above is probably pretty accurate in saying his floor would be that of Ostertag.
Cole DEFINITELY has better hands and tends to be more active under the basket than Ostertag ever was.

You say that this has always been an issue. What kind of illness are we talking about?
- July 19, 2010 at 8:39 AM
- Owen Kemp said...
There was an article in Decemberish last year talking about Cole, his asthma and last year a bout of bronchitis that magnified those issues for him.
He manages it well when healthy, but last year between the bronchitis and his day to day asthma he would seem gassed much sooner.
That said, he never made an excuse. Eventually Coach Self came out and said something because Cole was catching some criticism for it.

Following Johnston's recent public apology, in which he admits he "said things about the Palins that were not completely true," Bristol, 19, tells PEOPLE in its new issue, "I forgive him for what he did. He was young, mad, misguided. We're moving on."
Amid reports that the two are planning to tie the knot – a move they reputedly have yet to run by her parents – Bristol, who did not wear an engagement ring during her conversation with PEOPLE, replied to the question of if they would marry: "Yeah. I mean, I don't really want to get into detail about what's in store for our future, because who knows? But all I'd like to say about it is, hopefully we will be a family."
As for how they managed to bury the hatchet after their very public falling out, Bristol credits Levi's "just coming around. But, I don't know. It's good. It's good for all three of us [including son] Tripp Easton!"
Looking back, Bristol believes that if fame, money and her mom Sarah Palin's vice presidential campaign had not become part of her and Levi's lives, the ex-couple would already be happy living a simple life.
"I think Levi and I would be married," she says without hesitation. "He would still have his [oil] job on the North Slope, and we'd be in a one-bedroom apartment, scraping by."
Bristol, who says all of her friends have gone out of state, has no plans to follow them. "Levi and I are both Alaska based, and I don't see us moving anywhere else."

Featured Golf News
Anita Scotch asks, How long should golf courses be when they are within housing?
not. While competition at the highest level now requires longer golf courses now commonly using championship yardage of 7,400 yards or more providing a golf course of sufficient length to attract golfers is important.
For a course built as a public facility, or for seniors retiring in Florida, there is probably little need for an 8,000-yard championship course. Studies show most seniors lose distance, and prefer playing a course of 6,000-6,300 yards. This allows them to play irons to most greens. There may be little need for even a 7,000-yard course, even assuming grandkids come to visit. Given its possible to build an enjoyable regulation golf course at lesser yardage, many of these courses could have a back tee yardage of approximately 6,600-6,800 yards.
If the developer has targeted younger players, or thinks its wise to for marketing purposes, or if it is in a development, then the course should probably exceed 7,000 yards from the back tees. Hopefully, they will be well hidden, so that they may be only a rumor for the vast majority of residents and guests who play the course.
The other factor in determining golf course length is the need for amenity lots and parcel size. Large parcels of 600 acres or more tend to lend themselves to very long golf courses, as the designer stretches the course out to the far ends of the property.
Jeffrey D. Brauer and his firm, GolfScapes, have designed 40 golf courses and remodeled 80. Canterberry Golf Course in Parker, Colo., and Giants Ridge are rated among the best affordable public courses in the United States, while his Avocet Course at Wild Wing Plantation in Myrtle Beach, S.C., was a Golf Digest best new course winner, Champions Country Club is rated 5th in Nebraska and TangleRidge Golf Club is 12th in Texas. President of the American Society of Golf Course Architects during its 50th anniversary year in 1995-96, Brauer also designed Colbert Hills Golf Club at Kansas State, which opened in June 2000 as the cornerstone golf course for The First Tee program as well as the first collaboration between the PGA of America and Golf Course Superintendents Association of America.

Linda Evans might as well have died and gone to heaven. Having hung up the padded shoulders that she wore to play gorgeous, good-hearted Krystle Carrington, the former Dynasty star has left Los Angeles for a turn-of-the-century villa on five acres in Twin Peaks country, outside Tacoma, Wash. Here she can sit on her patio, gaze upon the private shores of her lake and contemplate a life without ripples. "I longed just to be, and this place gave me the perfect opportunity," says Evans, who turned 48 on Nov. 18. "I had so much responsibility for so many years, I longed to be irresponsible. I wanted to stay up late at night and eat too much and not put any makeup on and sunbathe and not care."
So here she is—just being. She indicates the second floor of her home: "When the sun rises, it comes up in this window, and it sets in that window over there. So if I never even leave my bedroom, I'm thrilled." And the lake offers its own thrills, of a sort. Evans leaps to her feel: "Oh, look! Look at the duck and all her babies! They go under and all you see are their tails, a big tail and 10 little tails! I'll watch 'em grow up and get big."
Ah, yes, heaven. And now Evans's angel steps onto the patio: lithe, darkly handsome and mustachioed, he could be the gypsy king of Moldavia. This is Yanni, the Greek-born pop composer—and the man who strums Linda's heartstrings like a zither. He hands her a tiny Siamese cat. "I brought you a little present," he says, and disappears back into the house. As Evans watches him go, she lapses into a sort of radiant daze. At the very least, she takes even more pleasure in watching him than in counting ducklings.
Evans, who in her nine seasons on Dynasty became television's most reassuringly glamorous woman over 40, is enjoying, if not an Indian summer of love, then a post-prime-time blossoming of the heart. "It's a miraculous time of life, outrageously wonderful and exciting," says Evans, who returns to ABC this coming week in a TV movie with the glowingly apt title I'll Take Romance. Her own romance, she says, "makes life all sparkly."
Yanni, who is 12 years younger, floats closer to the ground. "This is not a situation where love is blind and we're walking around on cloud nine," he says, laughing. "It's that we are on cloud nine and we allow ourselves to be there and love it." At the beginning, love was blind, and stereophonic: Evans first fell for Yanni's albums, and even now his music—a synthesized mix of pop, jazz and soft rock that might be labeled new age but which Yanni calls adult-contemporary—can be heard constantly in the background, a sound track for a living video montage of kissing, hand holding and meaningful stares.
"Maybe a regular person would just throw up, but I play his music all the time," says Evans, who handpicked the songs for Yanni's latest album, a most-romantic-hits compilation called Reflections of Passion. Reflecting on her own passion, Evans recalls the time she and a group of women friends "were all sitting around listening to him and saying this is the best music ever, and we said, 'Let's call him and tell him so.' They said, 'Why don't you call him, Linda? At least he'll return your call—he doesn't know who we are.' "
The initial conversation lasted an hour and a half. "I kept saying to her, 'Well, I really enjoyed talking to you,' " says Yanni, who's based in Los Angeles. "I was sort of embarrassed for keeping talking because I didn't know whether she really wanted to talk this much or was being polite." Nowadays, Evans says, their phone conversations can last "six, seven, eight hours."
Evans has kept her home in Beverly Hills, and it was there that she invited Yanni to meet her in July of 1989. The meeting had to be brief. Evans was scheduled to fly to Washington that afternoon. As Evans remembers it, Yanni knocked, she answered—and experienced takeoff. "I looked at him and—I had no idea. No idea. No idea! If I had known what he had looked like, I never would have had the nerve to call him Ever. Ever! I looked at him, and I tell you, in my life I have never, ever had this happen to me."
Yanni must have had some idea, some idea, some idea what Evans looked like, but even he was stunned. "I went to her house and...oh, boy," he says, shaking his head."It was great, really great. We just sat and talked for two or three hours."
When Bunky Young, a friend of Evans's, came by to take the actress to the airport, she found the couple in a rhapsody. "If eyeballs could lock—those two! They were just transfixed," she says. "I didn't want to break it up, but I finally said, 'I'm afraid, Yanni, you're going to have to go.' Then, on the plane, Linda got the funniest little grin, and I could tell her mind was just clicking like a computer."
Click click click, not thump thump thump—Evans may still lose her heart, but after two husbands and several boyfriends and years of struggling to find her footing, she no longer loses her head.
"Being safe and having someone take care of me was so important most of my life," says Evans, who grew up—emotionally unsure and financially insecure—in Hollywood, the daughter of former professional dancers. Her father, who had little success painting and decorating, died when she was 15 (her mom, a housewife, died 14 years later).
By then, Evans—born Evenstad—already was playing Barbara Stanwyck's daughter on the TV Western The Big Valley. But she left the show in 1969, happy to devote herself to her new husband, actor John Derek. She'd had a distant crush on him when she was in school, but ultimately she was the one who was crushed. When Derek left her in 1973 for a 16-year-old—whom he subsequently launched on the world as a cornrow-braided blond named Bo—Evans was unable even to grocery shop for herself. "To be standing there in the market and burst into tears because I didn't have a clue what I wanted—it was horrible," she says. "I just went home and cried. 'How do I live without him? He's gone!' " She soon found another man to feel safe with, marrying real estate magnate Stan Herman in 1976. But three years later he was another one gone. The marriage ended in divorce.
"Nobody has tried relationships more than I have," Evans admits. "I have a degree in relationships." But she at last came to a realization. "All my life I wanted the man to be the answer," she says. "And I had seen that in order for that to work, my whole life became him, and if it didn't work, then everything didn't work in my life. So after my divorce, I wanted to find me, and I wanted to be independent."
The star-making role of Krystle—the nice Carrington—proved to be the main road to independence. Dynasty, she says, "was like an answer to a prayer. And then every year I'd think, 'Stay on the air! So I can pay off my house and pay off my car, and then I'll have a home and never have to worry about being thrown out of somewhere.' " But Evans—for whom "taking charge of my life is as fascinating a journey as becoming a star"—was also treading other paths, exploring the misty nether regions of Linda Land. "I have done everything," Evans says. "I've gone to psychologists. I've studied Eastern religions, meditation. I've read books on psychology and philosophy-everything except est. For some reason I missed that." In 1985, when new age was still new, Evans read about Ramtha, the 35,000-year-old spirit and friend of Shirley MacLaine, and became fascinated with his teachings—in fact J.Z. Knight, the channeler through whom Ramtha purportedly speaks, lives 30 minutes from Evans's Washington State home.
The one thing that angers Evans, frosting over her natural warmth, is the tabloids' suggestion that she has come under the spell—the control—of a guru. As for reports that she moved to be near Knight, she responds: "Look at this place. I mean, do I need an excuse to move into this house? This is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in my entire life." Ramtha, she says, "is a teaching about self, and that interests me—anything that helps me understand myself interests me."
Yanni, too, seems to have helped Evans understand herself, in ways that a 35,000-year-old spirit probably can't. With their love, she says, "there are things that I've never felt before in my body, emotions I never knew existed." Yanni's love is unconditional, she says. "It's great to experience that kind of freedom in love, that kind of trust." Compared with her Derek years, she says, "it's completely at the opposite end of the spectrum!"
"In my family," Yanni says, "I've never had anybody threaten me with taking their love from me. You could fight, you have any trouble you wanted, but love was never an issue—so I learned to trust it." He began life with the surname Hrisomallis in Kalamala, Greece—where Linda's favorite olives come from—and grew up in a comfortable home headed by a banker father and housewife mother. Both could have helped Evans with her life lessons. "My father always says you've got to taste life like a fruit," Yanni says. "My mother, she has the secret of life. She is the only person I know of who is just always happy. She thinks there are no bad people in this world, and if you are bad, it's because you're having a bad day. She can be happy sleeping on the street, or in a chair, it doesn't matter."
Yanni's two boyhood enthusiasms were music and psychology. Intrigued by analysis, he claims he read all of Freud's works by the time he was 16. Drawn to music, he'd sit at a piano and try to re-create melodies he'd heard over the radio or at the movies; in the process he developed his own system of musical notation, which he still uses.
Up to a point, Freud had the upper hand. Yanni left Greece to study psychology at the University of Minnesota but, two years away from a graduate degree, decided that "to have a Ph.D. at 24 and go into practice and have children and do the same thing over and over again—it would drive me crazy." Instead he joined a rock band, Chameleon, going solo soon after with an album titled Optimystique.
Although Yanni spends two weeks out of the month with Evans—and she sometimes joins him on tour—occasionally the composer has to converse with his musical muse, which can't be done by long-distance in eight-hour stretches. "When I go away and create my music," he says, "Linda has to allow me to go far away from her, and maybe not call, and some people can't handle that. When I'm in a creative mood, I'm distant, and it takes a few days to come out of it."
Evans doesn't mind. "I don't have to be with him to have this loving feeling," she says. "I've got it. It's mine." Besides, "I didn't want to make a man the No. 1 quest in my life. I wanted to make me the No. 1 quest in my life." For now, that's enough. Asked about marriage, Evans responds in words that Yanni could easily set to music: "Can we be in love for a little while before we make that decision?" "Why do we have to wreck a good thing right now when we're just living it out?" "It'll happen if it's going to happen, but it's a great time right now."
The great time right now includes boating on the lake (they spent their very first week together, Owl and Pussycat-like, afloat—"We used to stay out there until 4, 5 in the morning," Evans says. "We hardly slept, but one morning we woke up to rain on our faces"). And they cook: Evans has even learned to make kasseri, a Greek cheese flambé dish. "We eat for hours and hours," Evans says. They don't watch much television. They've skipped those sinister gossiping pines of Twin Peaks, and none of the projects Evans was offered piqued her interest. "They've been sending me scripts for a long time," she says, "but I didn't want to work right away. And most of them were dramas and miniseries—really heavy duty. I just said nope." But Romance, a light comedy about a TV weather reporter befogged by love, made her say yup. The plot, as explained by Evans, sounds vaguely autobiographical. "This woman had a romance, it didn't work out, and she was going to be practical and sensible," says Evans. "Her whole life is controlled and ordered—and of course everything just gets changed around, and she has to deal with her fears of romance and love."
And what about her own fears of romance and love? Evans, thinking about her future with Yanni, appears as serene as her lake. "I hope that we can continue being as interested and excited at all the levels we see in each other," she says. "Things have to change. Nothing stays exactly the same. You grow and things happen, but I hope we can continue to enjoy each other. Because we will always be friends, I know that—we're too much alike. But whether this other part continues to grow, we'll find out."

Just over twelve months ago, when I renewed my xbox live gold account, I chose to have it automatically renewed a year later. I set up paypal as my payment option. On February 28th this year, I got an email confirming that my subscription to Gold had been successfully renewed for the next twelve months. However, since the 5th of March, I've received several emails from Microsoft entitled: "IMPORTANT! Microsoft Account Update Required". Here's some of what it says in the email:
"We are contacting you because we have been unable to charge your PayPal Account for your Gold – 12 Month service(s) being billed to you through Microsoft Online Services. The following PayPal Account is the current payment method on your billing account:"
"To avoid an interruption of your services or to reactivate suspended service(s), please provide a valid PayPal Account. If payment is due for other Microsoft services purchased with the above PayPal Account, those services may also be affected."
Then today, when I booted up my 360, I got this message when I tried to sign in to Xbox Live: "Your membership is suspended until you update your payment option. We'll charge your payment option and reactivate your membership after you update your account".
Some mistake has obviously occurred here, as I already had an email just over a month ago confirming that my subscription had been successfully renewed. And not only that, but I have purchased DLC from the Xbox Live Marketplace since then using the exactly same paypal account that I renewed my Gold membership with. So the account obviously isn't invalid... so what's going on?
Are you sure you have enough funds?
Remeber unless you buy a full game dlc wont cost as much as a renewed subscription at 59.95
Id check your paypal logs or your creditcard to see if uou are too close to your spending limit
Yep, I have enough funds. And the last DLC I bought, which was on March 13th, was a full game. I've also bought several other things (not to do with video gaming!) since then using the same paypal account with no issues at all. And remember, I already had an email from Microsoft on February 28th confirming that my subscription had been successfully renewed. Surely I wouldn't have been sent that email if they hadn't received payment from my paypal account? And I've also been using Xbox live since Feb 28th, even though that was when my previous 12 month subscription was due to expire, if I hadn't chosen to have it automatically renewed. I have had no other problems with my Paypal, and use it a lot to pay for stuff online. So I'm really at a loss to what has happened here....
too sort this out quickly just call XBL suppourt they cn tell you excactly what was wrong in North America that number is 1-800-463-3863, give them a call when u can and it will be fixed :D keep us posted
Follow me on Twitter @CL_Chaos and Twitch.tv/CL_Chaos
I hold monthly Contest for games, gold, blue-rays, point cards, and once more join in bigger prizes like an Xbox 360 to join u must follow me on Twitter and Twitch
I live in the UK... :P I thought setting up my account to be automatically renewed would make things simpler, but it certainly appears that isn't actually the case. lol
Hmm, that's way funky. Yeah, auto-renew is supposed to be the easy way to do it! We may end up wanting to contact support (Rather than the 1800 number, you'll want to use support.xbox.com/contact-us ) but for the moment, can you try logging in to commerce.microsoft.com and make sure all the billing details there match the ones on your PayPal?
How to use the forums
I went to commerce.microsoft.com., but I have no idea how to view my billing details there... how do I do this?
However, when I checked my recent transactions, apart from the lone game DLC I purchased on the 13th of March, (Which came up as "purchase" and "settled") there were a further 8 attempted transactions of £39.99 which were all declined. These attempted transactions not initiated by me, so it now appears that someone has been attempting to hack into my account. What should I do?
Hi Sara!To view your billing info at commerce.microsoft.com, once you log in, just select "Payment Option" at the top of the screen. As for the account security, I would suggest you change your password, and make sure all your proofs are up to date and valid. Here is how to Add and Update Your Microsoft Account Security Proofs. Hope that helps, and let us know if you have any questions. Cheers!

The Phillies could go into 2013 with a 1-year, stopgap answer at third base if Cody Asche continues to blossom. Asche, 22, began to get labeled as the third baseman of the future after hitting .300 with 10 home runs, 47 RBI, a .360 OBP and .873 OPS in 68 games at Double A Reading in 2012. Asche hit .324 with an .849 OPS in 130 total games between Reading and Class A Clearwater.
The farm system's deepest collection of bats comes behind the plate. Sebastian Valle, 22, hit 17 home runs in 105 games between Reading and Triple A Lehigh Valley . . . but also had a .271 OBP. Valle was supplanted on the prospect depth chart when the Phillies acquired 21-year-old Tommy Joseph in the Hunter Pence trade. Joseph is a year removed from hitting 22 home runs with 95 RBI at Class A San Jose.

Success stories and benefits from Grid'5000
- Overall benefits First of all, Grid'5000 is the one national testbed easily accessible for conducting grid experiments. At the opposite of other Grid like PlanetLab, nodes are quite often accessible and administrators also. Furthermore, the capability to deploy images on nodes will allow us to conduct realistic experiments with several operating system and several cluster schedulers. This is a main strength to deal with heterogeneity in term of hardware, but also in term of software.

What is CURE?
Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy (CURE) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to finding a cure for epilepsy by raising funds for research and by increasing awareness of the prevalence and devastation of this disease. Based in Chicago, IL, CURE was founded by Susan Axelrod as she struggled to find resources and information for her daughter, Lauren.

My daughter has seizures from a condition called cortical displacia. She is a candidate for a new treatment the neuropace. We have insurance however it will only cover a certain percentage of the surgery and the testing prior to and after the surgery. I was wondering if there are any other resources that may be available to help us with the cost of this.
Thanks for your time,

ASBURY PARK - It was good while it lasted: Free metered parking in Asbury Park comes to an end today, with the city charging for parking for the first time since Hurricane Sandy destroyed many of its meters, the Asbury Park Press reports.
The city shut down its parking meters in October as it replaced the 57 meters that were lost in the hurricane. In the meantime, Asbury Park officials allowed drivers to park in metered spaces for up to three hours, and made sure to enforce the time limit.That didn't stop some people from leaving their cars there longer than allowed, leading to complaints from business owners, according to the newspaper.
Asbury Park lost about $500,000 in revenue from the suspension, and it spent about $800,000 on the new parking meters. Asbury Park will ask the Federal Emergency Management Agency for reimbursement of those losses.

Heritage Museum staff ask donors to lend items for festival displays
Once again, the German Heritage Museum is looking for special items to display for the annual Roberts Cove Germanfest planned this year for October 2 and 3. In the past, the public has been generous in loaning us your treasures, and the museum staff is asking for help again this year.
Five families ––Berken, Bunt, Cramer, Husesers and Meyer –– will be honored at the Roberts Cove Germanfest this year. All these families came from the Lower Saxony area of Germany bordering the Netherlands.
The organizational meeting to honor the descendants of the families and collect family histories and recollections was held on May 26 at the Museum. The musuem co-curators, Josie Thevis and Dot Leger, are asking for information and pictures from the families to help them put together stories of their lives. These will be published in local newspapers for all to read. Please do this as soon as possible but no later than Friday, August 20.
Several display areas in the Museum will feature the following:
Candlesticks and cadelebarras: The musuem's religious room will showcase candlesticks and candellabras. Included will bee First Holy Communion candles, given to communicants on their First Holy Communion day.
German sayings and old sewing machine cabinets: Another display room will include any article that has a German saying. Examples: A cup with "Mutter", a sign with "Willkommen", a heart with "Ich Liebe Dich", and so on. In this room, we will also have a display of old sewing machine cabinets.
Museum workers will soon be taking down previous displays, so they are asking the public to lend these items to them as soon as possible, but at least by September 15.
"We are proud of our faithful workers and we thank the many hostesses who made our visitors welcome during Germanfest 2009. We are looking forward to more interesting exhibits this year," says Thevis and Leger.
For more information, call museum curators Josie Thevis (337) 334-4713 or Dot Leger (337) 334-2252. Or you can call the Germanfest Office (337) 334-8354 or email: roberscovegermanfest.com.

How to Show Some Civic Pride
Reader Comments (124)
I thought for sure it must be related to Enumclaw, but teh google says that's 179 miles away. That's a long way even for a horse ride.
A perusal of Google's top search hits for "Sunnyside Washington unpleasantness" shows that there's a lot of people in Sunnyside, WA who find the experience of dealing with Debt Collection Agencies to be rather unpleasant, indeed.
Searching for "unpleasantness" is obviously not going to work. Try "wrestling", "rape", or "mop handle".
Maybe I read it wrong... but doesn't he tell us exactly what the unpleasantness is in the last panel?
Given the precise description of the "grit wind", manure smell, and clouds of flies, Scott either actually lived in Sunnyside or knows someone who did. Hey. At least it wasn't Grandview or <shudder> Toppenish.
<B>Note from Scott: Born and raised in Sunnyside/Outlook
Well, well, well . . . .
Sunnyside, WA unpleasantness
Immigrants Though many family groups came to Grandview from other
www.grandview.wa.us/WebPage/CityCouncil/.../Immigrants.pdfFile Format: PDF/Adobe Acrobat - Quick View
History of Sunnyside, Washington, I found a photo of the hotel located at ..... arrangement was quite satisfactory, but the smell of the gas was rather unpleasant.
Was the whole unpleasantness thing a reference to the show Haven? Cause that's what it made me think of...
I'm pretty sure that the unpleasantness is explained right there in the fourth panel...
I see something about an insane killer from Sunnyside who escaped from his mental institution during a field trip to the Washington State Fair. Everything else I come across seems pretty run-of-the-mill, so far...
Could the unpleasantness be this?
I am a little surprised to see people asking about the unpleasantness. It's right there in panel 4! Scott says, "The first confirmed case of Mad Cow in America. The unpleasantness." I suppose that you could interpret this as a list of two separate things, but the punctuation led me to believe that this was not the case. Kind of like if you were watching a kung fu movie and a character said, "It's time to consult the greatest kung fu master in the world. My grandfather." Would you, at that point, be wondering who the kung-fu master was? Would you be expecting the character to visit his grandfather AND the kung-fu master?
Also, I absolutely loved the line "It's all right there in the title."
WE DO NOT DISCUSS THE UNPLEASANTNESS. It's unpleasant.
This "unpleasantness" we do not speak of... is it... "the hunger" that afflicts so many of Sunnyside residents?
If it were Wenatchee I'd know what it was about.
<B>Note from Scott: Yeah, what's the deal with Rural Washington?
Has the last panel changed since publishing, or am I missing a joke where 18 people above me are asking "what is the unpleasantness" when it couldn't be more clearly spelled out in the last panel?
I read Dunkards as Drunkards. Makes the story far more entertaining.
Actually, I think the first mad cow episode was right here in Sunny Moses Lake. Though you might not count that one since the cow originally came from Canada. And we had the distinction of being the first school shooting. See, it's an Eastern Washington thing, the unpleasantness! Either that or we really get a kick out of hitting the AP.
I'm with Bobman and StevenR - how is it possible that so many people missed the fact that the unpleasantness was spelled out RIGHT THERE in the comic?!?!
The mad cow incident is not the unpleasantness. In panel 4 Scott is clearly listing notable events in the town's history, and they are separate items on the list.
I think the people saying that he says what the unpleasantness is in panel 4 are reading it wrong. He says the mad cow item, then there is a full break (period plus the ending of that speech balloon), then in a new speech balloon mentions the unpleasantness. This to me signifies that it's a separate idea. It's as though he's listing things of historical note. It also seems that, that is the case because his mom interrupts him when he mentions the unpleasantness and not the mad cow. I would think she would have cut him off when talking about the mad cow if it were, indeed, the unpleasantness.
BWAHAHAHA! I'd moved to Moses Lake by the time of the unpleasantness, so I got a lot of millage out of discussing it myself.
Really though, something that horrible has no right to be so funny.
I don't think the Mad Cow thing is the unpleasantness referred to. His mom says there's lots of history so he starts naming things. The list is two things long before his mom cuts him off. The implication is that whatever the unpleasantness is, it's even worse than the first case of Mad Cow disease in America.
That's how I read it.
Low reading comprehension on this strip today. Unusual.
My my, there's a lot of competition for town with the First Place in Unpleasantness in Washington. Can't imagine why I didn't move back there instead of to Oregon where there is never ever ever any unpleasantness.
So this "incident" is why you write that you grew up in Yakima? Like that's any better?
You. Guys. Are. GULLIBLE.
Has the last panel changed since publishing, or am I missing a joke where 18 people above me are asking "what is the unpleasantness" when it couldn't be more clearly spelled out in the last panel?
The first confirmed case of Mad Cow in America is unpleasant, but it is not the unpleasantness.
The way I read panel 4 is that he is listing the hometown history and she interrupts him when he mentions the unmentionable unpleasantness. I do not read the mad cow as being related in ay way to the unpleasantness.
I am not surprised that the unmentionable unpleasantness is not easily found. I'm sure city historians are instructed to leave it out of the official archives.
I don't think that the first case of Mad Cow was The Unpleasantness. Scott('s character) was making a list of all the things in his town's history, but only made it to item two before his mom interrupted him. (Two out of what? Three? Four? Something like that, probably.)
I think the most likely "unpleasantness" would be this:
I don't think it's the same thing to go from specifics to generalization... "Mad Cow"... "unpleasantness"
as it is to go from general to specific... "greatest king-fu master"... "my grandfather"
I adhere to the list interpretation, I still want to know what the unpleasantness is.
As a D(r)unkard from SoDak, I can state catergorically that we are the ones responsible for bringing the Lighted Farm Implement Parade to town. It's a nice way to show off a Super M-TA Farmall. It is however, very challenging to round up enough extension cords to power the lights on the implements. It's the main reason why we limit entries and keep it short and sweet
I think Tsuyoshi is the only one that got it correct. I lived in the Tri-Cities in 1992, and we were well aware of the mop-handle incident.
This comic is a lot funnier if the unpleasantness is the MCD incident, since if it is, Scott's mom is happy in panel 2 he didn't mention it, but then in panel 4 he does, in typical Basic Instructions ironic brilliance. Not to say it is ironic for B.I. to be brilliant.
I think the unpleasantness and the Mad Cow are separate.
I vote for escaped killer Philip Paul as the unpleasantness.
Is it possible that the link to the comments always says "10 comments for this item" regardless of how many comments there are? Case in point, I clicked on "10 comments" and there are 25 (I'm 26th).
In the 4th panel, Scott clearly finishes his thought about mad cow and starts a new thought, listing a different item from history. If mad cow was the unpleasantness, Mom would have interrupted earlier.
Those who think the last panel "spells it out": they know how to read, but they don't know how to read comics. The two phrases are in separate balloons, and BI often makes use of this form when reciting lists of similar things in an exaggerated fashion.
Wow, Enumclaw's unpleasantness has its own wikipedia page! Sunnyside will have to get up pretty early in the morning to top that...
I think the Lighted Farm Implement Parade needs to be a t-shirt. Nothing says "Merry Christmas" better than a festive combine.
I would wear that shirt.
In my mind I keep picturing the Unpleasantness in Sunnyside as being like the Troubles in Ireland.

Legislative Update 3/28/12Posted Monday, April 2, 2012, at 10:57 AM
As legislative session continues, I am surprised at the pace with which legislation is passing out of committees. We are literally seeing hundreds of bills each week, many of which we haven't even had time to properly discuss. I have encouraged those in charge to slow things down a little so members can be fully prepared to vote on important legislation. We need to finish our work quickly, but we also need to do it in an orderly and responsible way. That is what the people expect us to do.
No piece of legislation is more important to carefully examine than the TEAM Act. This bill, proposed by the Administration, would do away with a number of civil service protections for state employees. For many years, state employees were subject to the political whims of whoever was in power. When a Democrat was elected to office, Republican state employees got fired and the same happened to Democrats when a Republican took over. Rep. Kent Williams, a Republican from Carter County, experienced this kind of patronage first hand. He was hired under a Republican, but when Ray Blanton got elected Governor, Rep. Williams found himself with two kids and no job. That's why the state implemented civil service in the first place.
Now I am not suggesting that our current Governor would engage in this kind of patronage if he is successful in getting rid of civil service protections, but we cannot be so certain about future administrations. Our state employees are not political and they shouldn't be hired and fired based on their political party. I am not opposed to some reform, but we need a balanced approach here. I have offered a number of amendments to the TEAM Act. These amendments would preserve important civil service protections, while modernizing our human resources procedures. I am in business in the private sector, so I understand the need to overcome bureaucratic hurdles in the hiring process. But when it comes to state employees, I think there is a better way to do that than returning to the days of patronage.
In other news, my 2012 Jobs Package ( http://www.craigfitzhugh.com/blog/jobs/ ) is moving through the General Assembly. While these bills still face an uphill battle, I am hopeful that we can continue to attract bipartisan support. In particular I am pleased that the Governor has taken an interest in HB 2314, my "Back to Work Act." This bill would make a one-time $20 million investment in our technology centers and community colleges. With this money, these two groups could replace equipment, expand programming and produce more graduates. We have done this once before in 2007 with phenomenal results. At a time when everyone agrees we need a more educated work force to attract jobs, I believe this is a worthwhile and sound fiscal investment. I hope the Governor will come around to this plan and include funding in his budget amendment this year.
As always, if you are ever in need of assistance or would like to hear more about another issue, please contact my legislative office and we'll get your questions answered as soon as possible. Have a great week!

In the last four years, Jim Reginelli, an independent pharmacist, has watched the number of prescriptions his stores fill drop by 30 percent.
He chose his profession after developing a close relationship with his neighborhood pharmacist as a boy while picking up prescriptions for his father, who had multiple myeloma. Now 45, Reginelli wants to give that kind of personal service to customers at his four stores, the best known of which is Nisenholtz Pharmacy in the Northeast.
He thinks a relationship with a pharmacist increases the odds that patients will take their medications correctly and avoid dangerous interactions. He also thinks the realities of modern drug purchasing unfairly jeopardize that relationship.

The image of "real Socialism" as an age of "stagnation" is gradually disappearing from studies of the Soviet Union. Indeed the clear cultural and social changes of the Brezhnev era are now part of a revised historiography. Despite the immobility of a political leadership unable to bring any serious reform to a drifting economic and social system, as political repression and ideological control slackened, Soviet citizens created, revived and occupied areas of autonomy.
At the same time, the socio-cultural processes that flourished in 1964-1982 had their own timing that preceded or extended beyond the precise dates of Brezhnev's rule: this concerns urban planning, the development of tourism, communications and media, and greater access to higher education. The study of these already reported phenomena deserves to be reviewed on the basis of the written and oral sources to which the researcher now has access. Similarly, the recent emphasis on the spread of cross-border patterns of consumption and thought and the increase in international exchanges places the geographical bounds of the Soviet Union in a wider context.
Cahiers du Monde Russe wishes to challenge "Brezhnevism" in two ways, as the incarnation of "stagnation" and as a strictly delineated temporal and spatial framework, unsuited to the study of the profound social, cultural and economic changes that prepared the way for the upheavals of the late 1980s and the collapse of the USSR.
Proposals will be welcome from many and various disciplines and fields: environment, technical-scientific expertise and development policy; arts, literature, music and films; religious life; political authority; foreign policy; slackening growth, major projects and parallel economy; memory policy and ideological research; demography; etc.
