Clyde Reynolds has been a quintessential leader in the realm of homeless advocacy in Ventura County for 25 years. With a background in working with the mentally ill, Reynolds came to Ventura to set up Turning Point, a facility that specifically deals with meeting the needs of the mentally ill and those who were homeless. Despite pushback from the community, Reynolds was able to topple fears and provide much-needed services for many in Ventura. Twenty-five years at any particular job requires a certain mastery of the work, something Reynolds has exhibited time and time again. At 70, though, Reynolds is ready to pass the baton on to the next great leader, who will take Turning Point to the next level. With his retirement set for January, he reflects on 25 years of service, what the future holds and Turning Point's gala on June 21.

Clyde Reynolds, who founded Turning Point in 1988,
will be retiring after 25 years as executive director in January.
VCReporter: Why did you decide to retire now?
Reynolds: Well, I suppose age is a factor. It's time. It's my 70th birthday here, so I've been working for a long time and it's really time for me to turn over the reins to new leadership and to have the organization move into the next stage of its growth. I think we're in a really good place now so I have to kind of step aside and see where the organization goes next.
In the last 25 years at Turning Point, what has been your greatest milestone?
Well, I think there have been more milestones. Certainly, getting the organization going and getting it established was a lot of hard work in the beginning because the community wasn't really prepared for the kind of programs we were going to bring into the community. We had a lot of opposition when we tried to site residential programs in residential neighborhoods. When we tried to establish our first day program in downtown Ventura, we had a lot of opposition from the merchants.
That was the first thing, just getting the program up and running and kind of overcoming the resistance to the community and getting a chance to step back and allow us to start those programs, and for the community to discover that really the worst fears were really not realized, and folks who are mentally ill in their community deserve to live in their neighborhood like everybody else, and our program needed to be in the community. We were an asset and not a liability. We were really addressing a community need that was really important.
I think we've been able to, over the years, expand those programs into a range of services, serving those people who are specifically homeless and mentally ill. It is a really huge need in our community to establish our first shelter, create the housing that was needed to give them permanent places to live with support, those things like getting River Haven started, which was another community need for addressing folks who were living in the river bottom and housing folk who were really difficult to house.
Recently we've gotten a few new programs that are delivered by those people who have their own experience with mental illness, so our wellness program and quality-of-life programs are now programs where people who themselves have been mentally ill are helping others.
You've seen a lot of differences since 1988, a lot has changed. What's the biggest difference today in the homeless community since when you began?
What we're experiencing today is something that's kind of really exciting. In the early days, when folks were seeing the homeless as people who are just a nuisance in the community, what's happening is that we're now working together. We're working with the city, we're working with the community and realizing that there are many faces to homelessness. A lot of these programs would never have gotten off the ground if we didn't have the support of the city, and Turning Point was willing to step up to the plate and be the organization to deliver the program.
What we're seeing is collaboration between agencies like Project Understanding and Salvation Army, and we've put together the Homeless2Home program and we're working together. We're working together with the cities, county governments, and it feels like we're really, today, on the same page and we're all trying to concentrate on those approaches that really end homelessness.
Have you noticed that there might be an increase in people who have a mental disorder or there might be more families on the streets?
I think there was some increase and challenges, especially during the recession, that really hit hard. Families who were trying to survive and looking for employment and those who were living on the margin already and lost their employment. I think that did see an increase.
For the mentally ill, I think it's been fairly constant, with some growing numbers just because of the number of people who are there, but I think you have to look at different populations. The mentally ill have always made up 25 percent to 30 percent of people who are on the streets and that number and percentage seems to be relatively the same. As our population grows the numbers grow, but the percentage has remained relatively consistent. I think we're now starting to see some decrease in that because of our priority methods. We've seen more of the people we consider more chronically homeless. We're starting to have some success in ending their homelessness, and those are some changes that are starting to have some effect and I think our most recent homeless count shows that.
Who do you think would be the best person to step into the role you're leaving?
We've spent a lot of time processing that and I know that we're in this transitional process. We're working with a company called Transition Guides. They've been working with our board and our staff; we're trying to create a profile for the next director. We definitely want a person who has excellent management skills, someone who is familiar with our field and really understands the field of mental health, and particularly someone who understands the approach Turning Point takes to addressing the needs of the mentally ill.
We're looking for someone who has a passion for working with persons with mental illness, who really feel that this is an area that they really want to make a contribution, so a person who fits into the culture we've created here at TP. We feel like it's a culture that supports people, it's supportive to the staff and the people we work with. We actually hire a large number of individuals into our staff who are people with their own experiences. I think we're looking also for a person who is current with what's happening in the mental health fields these days and who can help us find new opportunities to partner and fund programs to extend those programs into areas like a new program that is actually happening at the old Project Understanding building, a program for homeless mentally ill veterans.
Tell me about the 25-year gala.
This is very exciting because we're having this kind of milestone and being able to celebrate an organization reaching 25 years. We're still here. We've grown. We've expanded and it's time to celebrate what we've achieved. At the same time, with my transition and this kind of milestone, it's funny to think about how do we sustain our mission in the future.
This celebration, it's nice to have the community come together and help us recognize what we've achieved and view where we're going. That's the main point. We're going to continue to do what we do every year, which is recognizing individuals in our community who have made a difference, individuals and those who are living with mental illness. We have identified a number of individuals we are going to be honoring.
It's always nice to celebrate and recognize those people who are working alongside us so those persons with mental illness can live a satisfying life in the community.
The eight annual gala, Honoring Champions of Mental Health, on June 21, at 4 p.m., will be held at Four Points by Sheraton Ventura Harbor Resort at 1050 Schooner Drive in Ventura.
Jim Duran resigns from Project Understanding
Jim Duran is a well-known figure throughout Ventura's charitable community. As the executive director of Project Understanding since 2012, Duran has helped with the establishment of the Homeless2Home program and has become a leader who ingrained himself in Ventura's charitable organizations. With six children, a grandchild on the way, involvement in several other Ventura County organizations and as the head pastor at The River Community Church, Duran says that he needs time to manage it all.
Jim Duran
VCReporter: Why did you decide to resign?
Duran: When I came aboard with Project Understanding, I was actually a board member. Rob Orth asked me if I wanted to do it when he went to apply at The Salvation Army.
One thing led to another and I said, "When you want me, let me know." So we're sitting in a board meeting and he recommended me to be the executive director. I love the organization and I wasn't sure if that was the direction I wanted to go, but I really felt led to do it.
I thought that this might be a good opportunity to connect the project to the larger community. Our board was about a dozen . . . we're almost to 21 now. It was amazing the people who were coming on.
When I came on board, I didn't even know that there was a possibility of that building being sold to Turning Point. We thought, "How are we going to do this and move forward?" Really, though, it's one of the best things we've done.
Now we have this building that I'm dealing with. We had to move the pantry first because the pantry sold before the office building sold, so we moved to First Christian Church on Teloma. What pantry services do we have near the college? I got that going. I got, all of a sudden, the people at what used to be The City Center at Kingdom Center give notice — what's going to happen with these families?
I met with the owners and said, we'll provide oversight and case management for six months, pro bono — we're going to do this for free for six months to help The Kingdom Center get on its feet.
So there are all of these plates being turned within this organization. Around January-ish, I just felt really the stirring that the assignment I was on was coming to an end, my season's over. Our church is growing again. I have a family of six children that need a dad, my wife needs a husband. I'm at a place where the Lord was saying: "Hey, your time is up now."
Clyde [Reynold]'s leaving in January from Turning Point; I'm leaving now. So the person that is coming into this world is going to be the next face of Homeless2Home. There needs to be some longevity for this person and that wasn't me.
When I gave notice one of the things they asked me was, will you please stay on the Faith in Action committee — that's the committee that pulls churches together to work with Project Understanding — and I said yes.
Is it going to be hard to disconnect from being in such an involved position?
Being on the board is going to help tremendously since I'll still have some kind of voice, so I won't be disconnected. I know I'll be able to step away because our staff has risen to the occasion and they're great leaders in their own programs.
What was the hardest part about running Project Understanding?
I think the funding part of it. We want to deliver, so if we can help out we're going to help out. I think it started when Rob was over there; we changed to the Homeless2Home collaboration so if you wanted help, you actually had to check in and be case managed.
I know that there were a lot of donors who were not real excited about that. They wanted us to have a place like it's always been, but times have changed, seasons have changed, and Rob did a great job making that transition. There were some longtime donors [who left]. I'm not sure if we ever recovered from that, because maybe their philosophy was different from the direction we were going.
I don't think there's an organization like ours: 11 tutoring sites, a pantry that serves 1,000 to 1,400 people per month, plus all of our different areas of housing from the SHORE [at Working Artists Ventura] to Oxnard Transition to Tender Alliance to now managing the City Center.

First official day of summer arrives Thursday and it will sure feel like it. Forecasters are calling for temps in the high 90s. That's nothing like the pleasant, cool weather of the past few days.
Thursday will be the longest day of the year. After that, the days grow shorter.
Thanks to the warm winter and spring, the fresh veggies keep rolling in early. Corn, tomatoes and other goodies are already on our tables. The unusual weather is also continuing to push blooms out earlier on a number of flowering plants and shrubs like hollyhocks and hydrangea.
Hard to believe the Salem County Fair is less than two months away.
Happy birthday to the 500 Rummy champion at the Oldmans Creek Campground!
Better take a good look at the new digital sign at Bobbitt Auto on the Salem-Quinton Road. Your name might be up in lights in a birthday, anniversary or other greeting!
The new boat ramp built by DuPont on Route 540 in Mannington Township is sure getting a lot of use.
The Salem County Office of Disability Services will hold its 8th Annual Disabilities Awareness Day July 24 at the Riverview Inn, Pennsville. Those planning on attending need to RSVP by calling 856-935-7510 Ext. 8311 or 8316 before July 13.

Great deep red color, super soft (as usual) and the yoke and button give it just enough so it's not a plain t-shirt.
It was a little small in the shoulders and maybe a little small overall. If you're between sizes, go up 1 size.
Looks great with brown, but I wore it with my black Lucky belt with multi-colored stitching (now on sale) and red suede Lucky flats with the jewels on the toe. It's an exact match with those shoes.
Nothing uglier than a brassy red! This shirt is not that; super cute.

I just came across this interesting article on the release of toxins during weight loss. According to the article, there is an increase in circulating toxins during weight loss.
I often read from people that they experience variable energy during this woe. Perhaps the release of these chemicals into the blood stream cause fatigue, etc during weight loss. Personally, I felt great at the very beginning of eat PB. My energy dropped though after a couple of weeks, still better than eating before primal, but not the oodles of energy I had in the beginning. I wonder if part of this is that once I started loosing weight, my body had to deal with additional detox work?
Any thoughts on ways to speed this process?

Tampering charges dropped against OPD officer
Officer no longer faces evidence tampering charges
Published 10:33 AM EST Jan 31, 2013
More charges have been dropped against an Orlando police officer who has been investigated three times for alleged domestic violence.
Danny Sidders, 43, no longer faces evidence tampering charges.
A battery charge against him was dropped last week. He was accused of beating up his girlfriend last year.
It's the third time since 2009 he has evaded prosecution on battery allegations because victims declined to testify.
Sidders was also suspected of asking a fellow officer to remove a gun from his home just before a scheduled home confinement check.

A team of Northland rescue pilots completed a mercy dash to a naval ship near the Poor Knights and airlifted a patient off an oil rig near the Hen and Chickens Islands yesterday.
Both scenarios were training flights completed on the only multi-engine flight simulator in New Zealand, which has been the result of hard work and a "can do" attitude by people with Northland's Emergency Services Trust (NEST) that runs the region's rescue helicopters.
Chief pilot Pete Turnbull, with thousands of flying hours under his wings, said the simulator was the best he had tried from eight around the world.
"We have gone for the best software and it's the best I have tried," Mr Turnbull said.
To buy an operating simulator could cost up to $1 million, but over the course of a year the Northland team have made the complete package for $150,000.
"Now we can practice in more extreme conditions with no risk to crew of the machines."
For example, a routine trip from Whangarei to Auckland could become much more testing in the simulator with storms, white outs and engine failure all part of the mix.
The body of the helicopter was part of a wreck bought by NEST after the Japanese Coastguard aircraft was damaged in the 2011 tsunami. It was stripped out and the interior made to replicate the Sikorsky helicopters used by the rescue team in Northland.
Mr Turnbull said the finished simulator was the result of hard work and ingenuity by a group who wanted to make the idea reality.
"NEST has a bit of a physiology of 'we will do it' and we just made this happen. It was a pretty ambitious idea and at times we wondered why we had even started," he said.
"We worked as a team and sorted it out."
The simulator is housed in a 10m x 10m room inside a hangar at Whangarei Airport.
Five computers run three projectors, which cast images on to a 270-degree screen.
While the helicopter remains static it feels and sounds like the real deal. The result is amazing and realistic. It's even possible to suffer air sickness.
"I'm impressed with the authenticity of the geography and helipads we have to land on," Mr Turnbull said.
The simulator will help reduce the cost of training pilots by thousands of dollars. It's expected other pilots from around the country will be prepared to pay to gain experience in the simulator. The Civil Aviation Authority has certified the simulator for instrument flying training.

World briefs
Pro-democracy protesters attacked in Libya
TRIPOLI, Libya -- Hundreds of Libyan pro-democracy advocates marched in Tripoli on Friday, denouncing militias' recent blockade of government buildings and coming under attack briefly by supporters of the armed groups, in the latest sign of the turmoil that threatens the country's first elected authorities.
Raising banners that read "No democracy with force," the protesters marched on the capital's Algeria Square and Martyrs' Square. They were attacked by counterdemonstrators who tore their placards and forced them back, witnesses said. Protesters then marched to the headquarters of the Cabinet to voice support for the government.
"They beat us up with the sticks of the placards and chased us away," Mohammed al-Kirkari, an activist who was in the march, told the local al-Ahrar TV network.
Pakistan's lead prosecutor in Bhutto case killed
ISLAMABAD -- Gunmen on Friday killed the lead Pakistani prosecutor in two high-profile cases -- the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, and the brutal assault on civilians in Mumbai -- shocking a country reeling from Taliban attacks as it prepares for nationwide elections.
Chaudhry Zulfikar Ali was gunned down in a hail of bullets as he drove to court in the normally quiet capital, where a concentration of diplomats, government and military officials and aid workers live. Nobody claimed responsibility for the killing, but as Ali's work put him in direct conflict with militant groups, suspicion immediately fell on them.
The shooting in Islamabad comes as Pakistan prepares for nationwide elections on May 11. Taliban militants have tried to derail the elections with a wave of shootings and bombings aimed at candidates.
German World War II plane to be salvaged off U.K.
LONDON -- A famous German World War II bomber nicknamed "the flying pencil" has spent decades submerged in the English Channel after being shot down in the Battle of Britain. Now, divers are working to bring it to the surface.
British officials on Friday announced a complex salvage operation just off the Kent coast in southeastern England to rescue the only known surviving example of the German Dornier Do 17 bomber. The operation is underway, and if all the preparations go well, the plane will be lifted from the water in three or four weeks.
But the director of London's RAF Museum, which has been raising money for the salvage, cautioned that the recovery would be risky -- divers will only be able to work for 45 minutes at a time because of perilous tides and other challenges.
Irish bishops condemn national abortion bill
DUBLIN -- Ireland's Roman Catholic leaders appealed to the public to lobby their lawmakers to reject a bill that would permit abortions deemed necessary to save the life of the pregnant woman, a measure long ordered by Irish and European courts.
In a statement, Ireland's bishops, archbishops and lone cardinal described the bill as "a dramatic and morally unacceptable change to Irish law."
"It is a tragic moment for Irish society when we regard the deliberate destruction of a completely innocent person as an acceptable response to the threat of the ... death of another person," the bishops wrote.

Week 3 of the NFL preseason was a nerve-wracking adventure for some fantasy owners, as an assemblage of high picks found themselves on the injury report afterwards.
Houston Texans running back Arian Foster re-aggreviated a hamstring injury against the San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots receiver Wes Welker had a neck scare on tackle on an interception return against the Detroit Lions and, speaking of necks, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning continues to surface in the news with his nerve injury.
Considering Foster is one of the top running back picks in this year's draft, Welker is an always-solid mid-round pick and Manning is a top-five quarterback, that's some serious fantasy injury news that went down in the past week.
There were plenty of other injuries that happened during the course of Week 3 and the preseason that fantasy owners need to keep their eyes on.
Stay here as we give you the fantasy updates you need on all the key injuries in the NFL right now.

There are good banks. There are great banks. And then there's U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB ) , the nation's largest regional lender by assets.
If it stands as an example for anything, it's that the business model of a traditional bank still reigns supreme over the universal model of its too-big-to-fail competitors like Bank of America (NYSE: BAC ) and Citigroup (NYSE: C ) .
Lest there be any doubt, here are the two principal reasons U.S. Bancorp is so ridiculously successful.
1. Efficiency
In banking, as in virtually any other industry, one of the primary measures of a successful operation is efficiency -- that is, how much does it cost to produce each dollar of revenue?
The metric that's used to gauge this among banks is called the efficiency ratio, calculated by dividing operating expenses by net revenue.
The higher the number, the more it costs to produce a dollar of revenue, and the less that's left over to build book value or distribute to shareholders.
U.S. Bancorp's performance in this regard is simply unparalleled. In 2012, its efficiency ratio was 51% -- meaning that it costs only $0.51 to produce every $1 of revenue.
By comparison, the average among the 14 largest traditional banks in the United States last year was 63%, with Bank of America turning in the worst performance at 81%.
2. Return on equity
If there was only one metric that could be relied upon to determine the relative success of a bank, it would be return on equity.
Calculated by dividing a bank's earnings by its shareholder equity, this gauges how productively a bank is employing its shareholders' capital; the higher the number, the better.
With this in mind, it should come as no surprise that U.S. Bancorp handily outperforms its competitors in this measure.
Last year, its return on equity came in at a staggering 14.59%, outperforming runner-up Wells Fargo by 170 basis points. Once again, the worst performer in this regard was Bank of America, with a paltry 1.79% ROE.
If you were to look over the last decade, moreover, U.S. Bancorp's performance looks even more impressive. Its lead over Wells Fargo extends to 234 basis points, and it has nearly doubled the return of its peer group.
Finding the next U.S. Bancorp
All of this, of course, begs the question: How does one go about finding the next U.S. Bancorp before its excellence is already priced into its stock?
The good news is that it's not too late. Bargains of a lifetime are still available, but you need to know where to look. The Motley Fool's new report "Finding the Next Bank Stock Home Run" will show you how and where to find these deals. It's completely free -- click here to get started.

CHELTENHAM The Cheltenham Township school board has dropped its plan to relocate two-thirds of its middle school students to Gratz College and will move them instead to sites in Cheltenham and Springfield Townships.
The Montgomery County district has been scrambling since fall to find alternative classrooms for the 750 students at Cedarbrook Middle School, which is plagued by mold and expected to be uninhabitable by spring.
At a special meeting Tuesday night, the board approved a plan to lease space in the old Pathmark building on Ivy Hill Road in Springfield Township, and at St. Joseph Parish on Waters Road in Cheltenham.

Creating awesome science fiction art may seem like an incredible challenge, with all the intricate elements and gadgets, neon lighting, buildings, advanced weapons and other aspects, but luckily, it's not as hard as you might think. While there are people who can digitally paint any scene that comes into their mind, most of us aren't at that artistic level, so it's easier to photomanipulate things.
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create a science fiction photomanipulation in Photoshop. First, we'll start by creating a futuristic style city, followed by adding in our main character, and then lastly, we'll add some combat elements to it.

Final Image Preview:
Step one: Collecting and isolating stocks
Ok so to start off with we will need a night time cityscape something with a lot of vibrant lights. You can get these all over the net so just go searching around and you will find one fairly easy enough. I got mine from shutter stock and it looks like the below screenshot. Once you have your stock image just drop it into your canvas and crop it as you see fit.
Next we will need our main stock image, the model/figure. I got mine from the great MJ-Ranum on deviantart but you can use whatever you like. If you want to use the same one I did it is located at: http://mjranum-stock.deviantart.com/gallery/1854632#/d2mzgyx
Once you have your model just isolate it out and plop it into your canvas.
Now its time to grab up a wall stock or something similar. Again I will be using one from shutterstock but you can find these all over the net. My stock was taken from the below screenshot, clone stamped and then dropped into the scene.
Step 2: Basic Background Building
Now its time to make the background pop a little bit more and look more like a window rather than some strange stock montage. So to start off grab your background city stock and apply a Gaussian blur with a radius of about 7 or 8 depending upon how 'blurred' you want the buildings to look. Once you have done that duplicate the blurred layer and set it to Multiply, this will darken everything but the lights giving it more of a night time feel, don't bother duplicating the city if you feel that yours is dark enough. Finnally we can then create a new layer and fill it with Cyan, this layer should be set to overlay at about 50%.
Remember you don't have to duplicate the city, this is just by choice!
Now lets add some texture, because as we know, windows really aren't always 100% clean and smudge free! So to start off head over to CG textures and grab this stock http://cgtextures.com/texview.php?id=58685&PHPSESSID=1434932907f6c8b121a97617234e8e27
Just clone stamp the black bar out of the middle and set it to overlay at about 15-10% we don't want anything to obstruct the view of our blurred city, rather just to enhance/give the window like effect.
Next we will do the same thing with this stock http://cgtextures.com/texview.php?id=39570&PHPSESSID=1434932907f6c8b121a97617234e8e27
I also duplicated the original city and blurred it again with a radius of 255px and set it to overlay at 25% opacity but you don't have to do this, I thought it helped to meld everything thus far but its not required.
Remember you really don't have to blur the city a final time unless you think it looks better. Also keep in mind that the blurred city can and should be placed above your figure if you like it.
After doing the above you can see that there is some (however faint) texture in the cityscape now.
Step 3: Cracks and bullet holes
So now its time to add some cracks/bullet holes, rather than displaying a huge list of the bullet holes I used I will just to give you the link to the CG textures page so you can grab the ones you want! The bullet holes can be found here : http://cgtextures.com/textures.php?t=browse&q=33638
So when you look at the bullet holes you will notice that they are almost entirely black and white. Why is that important? Well since all we want is the white (broken looking sections) we can simply apply these as screen and ta-da!
So grab a few and lets get started. You will want to grab a handful of smaller holes and place them all around the figure, then start dropping one or two large ones in. Place the larger ones as if they are coming in from the corners/behind the figure.
Now grab a few of the longer splinters and place them from one bullet hole to another. This will give a more realistic effect, if you shot a glass window enough the splinters would join together and eventually the plate of glass would shatter. This in my opinion is the most important part of the glass. You can place as many as you like whilst doing this as well.
For a better example of what I mean by connecting take a look at the two below screenshots. Also if your having issues with your splinters ending in a hard manner just feather them with a large soft edged brush, something like a 300px 0% hard eraser should do the trick!
Step 4: Coloring, Over painting and doodles!
Ok so now we have our glass done for the most part but I figure still seems very out of place. To correct this create a new layer above the figure and grab a soft edged brush. Once you have done that choose the same cyan that you used for the background and simply stroke all the way around your figure, basically just drawing an outline all around your figure. Depending on how rough you do this you may want to apply a Gaussian blur with a radius of about 3px. Once that is done drop the opacity down to about 45%.
Now let's head up to the helmet, this is my favorite part of the piece, its where we will add some finer details and some doodles. To start off with lets add some tech stuff to our visor, to do this I used a brush from the wonderful Z-Design on deviantart, but you can just draw this out as well. The brush pack can be found here:
Just choose one you like and drop it in, I used a purple color for this to counteract all the blue going on but you can keep it white if you like. Once you brush has been placed you should feather the end that is fading into the darker parts of her visor as I have done in the below screenshot.
Next just start drawing all over your helmet with the previously used soft edged brush. You can do whatever you like, words, faces, symbols or just whatever comes to mind. I also painted over the helmet a tad during this process just to darken up spots, I also removed the big red star by just painting over it in black. But you can do whatever you like here. Just have fun with it!
You can also take this opportunity to paint obscure things on other parts, for example the gun belt and gun.
My scene now looks like the below screen shot.
Step five: Laser sights and smoke
Ok so now lets add in some laser sights! This is actually very simple to do but adds a very cool effect to the overall image. First grab your line tool and set it up as I have (with red as the line color) and then draw a straight line.
Now using your perspective tool just add some perspective so it appears as if its coming from outside the scene and pointing at your figure. Once you have done that apply a Gaussian blur with a radius of about 3px to kind of fluff the laser up some.
Once we have done that we want to apply a layer mask and paint some darker sections in to give the appearance that the laser is reflecting more in certain areas, as if theres some smoke in the room or dust etc… to do this we can grab out cloud brush from one of our previous tutorials (http://design.creativefan.com/create-story-coming-alive-fantasy-photomanipulation/ ) and just use the brush on the layer mask.
Next just draw a circular dot on your canvas and your laser sight is done!
Now just add in a few more as you see fit! After adding in the new laser sights I went ahead and created a white to black gradient and set it to softlight at 45% over everything but this is not required, I just thought it helped with the mood.
Finally to finish the piece off we can grab a smoke stock off of Cg textures and drop it in to our scene, again this can just be set to screen! I placed the smoke coming off the tip of the barrel and then duplicated it, placed it behind the gun and flipped it horizontally to give it a better smoking gun like effect.
And now we are done! I finished the piece off by painting over a good bit more of the scene and then just sharpened it up, my final image looks like the below screenshot.
I hope you enjoyed reading this tutorial and it has helped you understand a few concepts or at least showed you some techniques you did not know. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask! Or if you have any tut suggestions please drop a comment, we are always looking for new concepts!

Jean Tijou
Jean Tijou was a French Huguenot ironworker. He is known solely through his work in England, where he worked on several of the key English Baroque buildings. He arrived in England in c.1689 and enjoyed the patronage of William and Mary for whom he made gates and railings for Hampton Court Palace. He produced the screens and grilles of St. Paul's Cathedral for Sir Christopher Wren, and worked at country houses such as Easton Neston, Burghley and Chatsworth. At Chatsworth his surviving works include the balustrade of the upper flight of the grand staircase and the set of gates known as the Golden Gates, which were moved to their present location at the north entrance to the park in the 19th century. Tijou published his New Book of Drawings in 1693 and continued to work in England until around 1711.

Conservative commentator Erik Rush in a column today writes that the "perpetuation of the homosexual lifestyle" will "destabilize society" and put the U.S. on "the road to tyranny." Such rhetoric almost seems tame for the vehemently anti-gay writer, but he goes on to make up for it by citing Glenn Beck's TheBlaze TV's conspiratorial "reporting" on Common Core standards to claim that "tyranny" is on its way to America.

That Magic Feeling
Stricken with Cancer, Elizabeth Montgomery Faced Death with the Same Dignity She Displayed Throughout a Career That Bewitched Us All
Rebecca was the one most often at her mother's bedside, comforting her between periods of fitful sleep. Foxworth describes those last days as "loving and intense." At one point, Montgomery joked that she wanted piña coladas poured into her IV Another time, she was feeling energetic enough to cheer on the New York Knicks during a televised basketball game. "But she knew she was losing the battle," says Asher, who remained close to Montgomery after their 1974 divorce. He now lives in Palm Springs but was in Los Angeles in those final days.
In the early morning hours of May 18, Montgomery was alone in her bedroom, dying. Foxworth was waiting quietly in the living room with her children, as Montgomery had requested. "She didn't want anyone to see her that way," says Asher. "Then she slipped away." There was no funeral, and the body was cremated (as yet, the family has not made a decision about a memorial).
The cancer was diagnosed just eight weeks ago, shortly after Montgomery finished production on her last TV movie, CBS's Deadline for Murder. While filming Murder—her second turn as Miami crime reporter Edna Buchanan—in March, Montgomery suffered from what she assumed were symptoms of a hard-to-shake flu. She was losing weight and feeling tired. But the only concession she made to her illness was to rest in her trailer between shots. "Otherwise, she was out there, rooting the crew on," says producer Bob Sertner. "She never complained."
Away from the set, Montgomery was busy nursing Foxworth, who had recently undergone hip-replacement surgery. "She was very strong and confident, where I was rather apprehensive," says Foxworth. "And she was there for me when I first tried getting up on crutches."
As soon as shooting was completed, Montgomery checked into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Her mood, says ex-husband Asher, was upbeat but nervous. Exploratory surgery brought the devastating diagnosis: colon cancer. "First she was shocked," says Asher. "Then she was angry." Too weak for radiation therapy, she was sent home. Within four days, though, she was back in the hospital, feeling far worse. A second round of surgery revealed that the disease had spread and that all hope was gone. Frustrated and depressed, says Asher, "Lizzie said she wanted to go home. And that was her final acceptance."
Her quiet death was in keeping with the dignified life of a woman who found fame as Samantha Stephens, a blithe, blonde witch determined to be the perfect wife to a sputteringly flustered adman named Darrin—played, with varying degrees of spleen, by Dick York and then Dick Sargent. The daughter of movie star Robert Montgomery and stage actress Elizabeth Allen, Montgomery had firm notions about how Hollywood royalty should behave. That meant keeping her personal life far from the limelight. Although she never stopped acting—"She loved working more than almost anything," says Foxworth—she hadn't given an interview in 20 years. "There was no Hollywood b.s. about her," says her manager Barry Krost. "She was born here, she'd seen it all, and she knew how to dodge the arrows." According to Foxworth, "She was shy. She didn't like to have to run the gauntlet of photographers." It was only after her death that Krost disclosed publicly that she and Foxworth had been secretly married in Krost's L.A. apartment in 1993 after living together for nearly two decades. "We knew we were going to spend the rest of our lives together," says Foxworth. "And there was something comforting and unifying about marriage."
Montgomery grew up in a Beverly Hills mansion with her younger brother, Robert, now a retired stockbroker. Their neighbors included Bette Davis. ("Lizzie," as her family called her, later remembered baking cakes for Davis.) After her parents' divorce in 1950, she moved to New York City with her father and attended the exclusive Spence School before dropping out to study acting at Manhattan's American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Montgomery, who had made her theatrical debut at 5, as Red Riding Hood's Wolf in a French-language production at Westlake School in L.A., was soon playing ingenues on Broadway.
Her father was producer, director and occasional star of NBC's live omnibus-drama series Robert Montgomery Presents. Elizabeth made her television debut on his show in 1951, playing his daughter in a spy story. In her off-hours she partied with a crowd that included composer Stephen Sondheim and director Hal Prince. "We were bright young things, and she was hilarious, madcap," says writer Dominick Dunne, then stage manager for her father's show. "She always wanted to be a star, and she got it."
Having a famous father helped, of course, but the elder Montgomery could be a tough critic, sending her curt, disapproving notes after performances he didn't like. But when she once suggested, idly, that maybe she should change her name, she recalled, "my father gave me a real pathetic look and said to me, 'You ashamed?' " In fact, she regarded him ultimately as an inspiration. "Like Daddy," she said, "I try to be neat, concise in my work—and in anything else, for that matter."
Her love life was not so orderly. In 1954 she married blue-blooded New Yorker Fred Cammann, a descendant of Albert Gallatin, Thomas Jefferson's Secretary of the Treasury. Because he had married an actress, Cammann was expelled from the Social Register. "I saw a headline about it," says Cammann, now a tree farmer in Bridgehampton, N.Y., "and brought it home to her. We thought it was hysterical."
Within a year the marriage failed—amicably, says Cammann. "She thought her career demanded that she head back to Hollywood," he says, "and I didn't see how I could fit in out there." In 1957, Montgomery married her second husband, actor Gig Young. Even then, she was reticent about sharing details of her personal life. In 1963 a reporter asked Montgomery if there was any truth to the rumor that she and Young were splitting. She laughingly admitted that they had squabbled and that she'd even thrown a statue against the wall, but the union, she said, was just fine. The next day she flew to Mexico and obtained a quickie divorce.
In those years, Montgomery was making hundreds of television appearances—"I guess I am a TV baby," she said—and earned the first of nine Emmy nominations (none of which led to an Emmy) as a gun moll on The Untouchables in 1961. She also starred in the not-very-successful feature films Who's Been Sleeping in My Bed, a roil mantic comedy with Dean Martin, and Johnny Cool, a gangster tale with Sammy Davis Jr.
It was on the set of Johnny Cool, in 1963, that she met Asher, who later directed Beach Blanket Bingo and How to Stuff a Wild Bikini. After they married that same year, Elizabeth told him she wanted to give up acting and concentrate on raising a family. "But I felt that she was too good," says Asher. "So I came up with the idea that we could work on something together." They picked Bewitched as her first TV series.
The show turned out to be just right for a mother and actress. When it began taping in July 1964, Montgomery had just given birth to William Jr. As Montgomery recuperated, the crew began taping episodes, minus shots including Montgomery. Then, a month later, she showed up on the set. The first completed episode aired days later.
The births of her other children, Robert and Rebecca, were also blended into the production schedule. (When Samantha was pregnant with her TV son Adam in 1969, Montgomery was pregnant with Rebecca.) She was ever "the consummate professional," recalls Saundra Gould, who took over as nosy Gladys Kravitz when actress Alice Pearce died in 1966. "Other actors would retire to their dressing room when their scenes are done. But not Elizabeth. She would stay and feed the other actors their lines."
Montgomery worked even harder to make sure her kids led normal lives. "She didn't want them to have any distortions," says Asher. She sent them to public elementary school. She insisted that they be in bed by 9—which meant that they didn't get to watch Bewitched in the early years. And, an avid watercolorist, she taught them to draw. "She was a working mom when it wasn't in style to be one," says Erin Murphy, who with her twin sister, Diane, played Samantha's daughter Tabitha.
All of this Montgomery accomplished without resorting to Samantha's equivalent of the magic wand, the nose twitch seen 'round the world. That signature bit of business was actually one of the few private details that Montgomery ever shared with the public. "She used to twitch her nose when she was frustrated," says Asher. (The sound effect—twickle, twickle—was created by a xylophone.)
Montgomery owned 20 percent of Bewitched and made millions in its first run and residuals. The show, now enjoying renewed popularity on Nick at Nite, went off the air in 1972, and the magic went out of Montgomery's marriage to Asher a few years later. After their divorce the couple shared custody of the children. "Divorce is not as big a bugaboo as it was years ago," Montgomery said at the time. "And if it's handled openly and honestly, especially if there are children involved, which there were with Bill and me, I think it's fine."
By then, Montgomery was embarking on the second phase of her career, as the doyenne of TV movies. "She wanted to get beyond Samantha," says Asher. In fact, one wall of a hallway of her home was lined with photos of her TV movie roles—she played everyone from Lizzie Borden to Belle Starr and made a specialty of psychopathic matrons—but none from Bewitched. "She always chose roles that challenged her and surprised the audience," says Foxworth. And she tended to like movies with a provocative message. A Case of Rape (1974), about a middle-class housewife's emotional ordeal in trying to bring her rapist to trial, was unusually frank for its time.
Montgomery met Fox worth, who played wine merchant Chase Gioberti on Falcon Crest, on the set of her 1974 movie Mrs. Sundance. They moved in together the following year, and she loved to spend time at home cooking and gardening. "For all her grace and glamor," he says, "when it came to gardening, she'd get out there and it was dirty-fingernail time." If she came across a dish she liked in a restaurant, she'd try to piece together the recipe in her own kitchen. "Lots of times," says Foxworth, "she made it even better." She also loved to handicap the horse races. "She'd been going to the track since she was a kid," says manager Krost. "I wish I had a commission on her winnings."
Though Montgomery and Foxworth mostly kept to themselves, they were happy to use their celebrity clout to back favorite liberal causes. Critical of Reagan-Bush policies in Central America, Montgomery narrated the 1988 documentary Coverup: Behind the Iran-Contra Affair and The Panama Deception, which won an Oscar in 1993. Barbara Trent, who directed both movies, recalls that when she needed the actress to redo some narration for Iran-Contra, "we were too embarrassed to ask her to come back into our little Santa Monica studio, where the temperatures sometimes went up to 80 degrees. But Elizabeth said, 'I think it's important.' Once she made a commitment, she saw it through."
She worked with AIDS Project Los Angeles and AmFAR, the American Foundation for AIDS Research. And she was publicly supportive of Dick Sargent when he announced his homosexuality in 1991. (His Darrin predecessor, Dick York, died in 1992 of emphysema; Sargent died of prostate cancer last year.) Montgomery even served with Sargent as grand marshal of a 1992 gay-pride parade in L.A. "You wouldn't see her at parties," says publicist Howard Bragman, "but you would always see her at benefits."
She was a star without a star attitude, says Edna Buchanan, who befriended the actress during the filming of the 1992 TV movie The Corpse Had a Familiar Face. One night they were dining together, Buchanan remembers, and everyone from the busboy to the maitre d' greeted Montgomery and asked her how she was doing. She in turn asked all of them about their friends and families. "Elizabeth just acted like a terrific, friendly, wonderful, buoyant person," says Buchanan. The magic didn't end with Samantha.

LOCKPORT – A Niagara Falls man who had cocaine and Xanax in his car when police pulled it over Aug. 2 was recommended Monday for the state prison system's boot camp-style "shock incarceration" program.
Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas ordered that if Cornelius D. Porter, 20, of Fourth Street, isn't admitted to the program or flunks out of it, he must serve a year in a regular cell plus one year of post-release supervision.
Porter pleaded guilty to fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance after his arrest on a warrant charging him with firing a gun at a passing car last June 27. Officers said they found a sawed-off rifle in the auto besides the drugs.

The Texas House speaker race is back in the spotlight.
Rep. Warren Chisum, R-Pampa, said this morning that he has gathered the needed signatures to require Rep. Larry Taylor, R-Friendswood, chairman of the House Republican caucus, to convene a meeting before the start of the session to choose a speaker candidate from the party's ranks.
For the first ever, the party will have a super majority of 101-49 in next year's session.

Today was a busy day at the State Capitol because, as expected, a good number of legislators started filing bills for the 82nd Legislature which is still two months away.
Not much from the members of the Panhandle/South Plains delegation though. Rep.-elect Charles Perry of Lubbock, filed two while Sen. Robert Duncan, also of Lubbock, co-authored one and so did Sen. Kel Seliger of Amarillo.
Rep. Warren Chisum of Pampa, who is usually among the first to file, didn't do it this time. Could it be because of the speaker race he is in?

The Texas House speaker race took a nasty twist Wednesday when an East Texas lawmaker withdrew his support for chamber leader Joe Straus and a conservative group urging all representatives to replace the San Antonio Republican with a more conservative member added 1,750 signatures to their original list of 46.

Here we go again.
As he did four years ago, state Rep. Roberto Alonzo has filed a bill that would move the Texas presidential primary from the first Tuesday in March to the first Tuesday in February.
With his House Bill 318, which he filed Thursday, the Dallas Democrat hopes that Texas joins California and more than half-dozen other states that hold their primaries in what is nationally known as Super Tuesday.

The Texas Legislature has yet to take on redistricting this session but the first battle is already being fought - outside of Austin.
The Mexican American Legislative Caucus announced today that it filed a motion "to intervene in the first of many cases relating to the decennial redistricting."
In MALC's view, the Teuber v. Texas case filed in federal court in Sherman "is a direct assault on Latino majority districts."

To no one's surprise, the Texas House of Representatives has just adjourned and, like their counterparts in the Senate, the members are heading back to their districts for a long Easter weekend.
Both chambers will be back in session Tuesday and from then on, with the exception of Mother's Day weekend, they might work through the end of the session on May 30.
They may not have a choice.

For West Texas, particularly for the Panhandle/South Plains region, Wednesday will be an important day in the Legislature.
The House of Representatives will debate and then vote on House Bill 150 which could determine whether the region loses two seats in the lower chamber.

If all goes as some senior legislators from the Panhandle and the South Plains predicted Monday, the special session of the Texas Legislature could end as early as Tuesday.
But this does not necessarily mean that you won't be hearing from some movers and shakers in Austin anymore.
Pretty soon, you'll be hearing from those who intend to seek higher offices. Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, the presiding officer of the Texas Senate, is a good example.

For Gov. Rick Perry and state legislators, midnight Friday is the deadline to file the campaign finance reports for the first half of this year. But don't expect any big surpises on Monday when the Texas Ethics Commission posts them online.
If they reported any money it was an insignificant amount because neither the governor nor the legislators can raise money while the Legislature is in session.
By: Enrique Rangel on September 20, 2011 - 10:12pm - Add new comment
The start of the 83rd Legislature is more than a year away but two Senate departures announced this week open new opportunities for Sens. Robert Duncan and Kel Seliger - provided they are re-elected next year.

Geotechnical Engineering involves defining and understanding subsurface materials and their mechanical behavior, and designing earthen structures. MRCE's geotechnical designs take advantage of the positive factors of a site to safely combine man-made structures with a natural geology.
Since 1910, our services and leading edge projects have advanced the art of soil mechanics and have helped to mature the science of today's geotechnical practice. Our founder Daniel E. Moran was among the pioneering soil mechanics researchers and his leadership and early work focused MRCE's interest and concentration on the field of geotechnical and foundation engineering. Today we continue that pioneering spirit with such cutting edge technologies as ground freezing, geo-seismic engineering, and instrumentation.

McNabb has a hard matchup and is banged up...I have Cassel and Orton as backups Should I bench McNabb? and for who...Right Now I am leaning towards Orton against the Jags...
Your thoughts please
2 replies , Last at 17 Sep 2010, 4:06pm by tuluse
That's a tough call, but I think you have to should probably stick with McNabb. The Redskins could get involved in a shootout situation, and McNabb has been known to have big games.
McNabb is notoriously a feast-or-famine QB though, but given the QBs you listed, you must have great RB and WR, so you can probably handle a quiet game if that's what he delivers.
The Broncos played the Jaguars last week, they're playing the Seahawks this week.

With a NRR (Noise Reduction Rating) of 25 and the fastest "attack time" in the industry at 1.5 milliseconds, Pro Ears Sporting Clay Gold Ear Muffs provide maximum protection for trap and skeet shooting.

That lighting fast attack time is combined with an outstanding recovery time, which is the time it takes to resume normal monitoring after the high sound level subsides to a safe level.
With Pro Ears, the attack and recovery time are accomplished without clipping or turning off the system so you hear all the sounds, only at a safe level with excellent clarity.But there's much more to tell:
- Chop-side cup with felt rifle protection improves sighting without scratching your stock
- Apple iPod, CD, motor sports scanner or radio compatible using a 3.5 mm mini jack. Enjoy high fidelity sound while protecting your hearing
- Ultra-comfy Pro FormTM Leather ear cushions won't sweat or crack
- Low profile, low-weight, contoured cup can be comfortably used with all firearms
- Exclusive DLSCTM (Dynamic Level Sound Compression) protects you from hearing damaging noise spikes while at the same time, bringing other lower decibel sounds up
- On-board 8-bit microprocessor ensures the unit is running right every time
- Auto shut-off feature makes sure you have power when you need it
- Much more comfortable than most foam ear plugs
- Get yours in black, green, pink. 10 ozs. Made in the USA!

It's no secret that the best movie of 2007 (don't argue with me!) was "Once," the little indie musical that could, and would, and did win over a small cult of devotees, my wife and I among them.
So we whooped and pumped our fists when "Once" actors/singers/songwriters (and now real-life couple) Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova took the award for best original song, for "Falling Slowly." They're so easy to admire for their winning combination of talent and humility.
Late Sunday night, after the Oscar telecast, I received two e-mails from readers.
The first said, "As a musician, I'm so glad 'Falling Slowly' won the award. 'Once' was a wonderful, warm movie. I watched the DVD two times back to back, the second time, with all the comments."
And the second one: "Hip hip hooray for 'Falling Slowly'! Thanks for championing it, John."
Aw, shucks.
But there's another reason to pump a fist: They're embarking on a spring tour under the band name The Swell Season, with a May 10 stop at the Royal Oak Music Theatre!
Tickets go on sale at 5 p.m. Friday at Tickets.com. They're $30 general admission, or $35 reserved.
Be sure to check out the band's Web site for more tour updates (looks like there's also a Chicago date in June).
While we're at it, why don't we relive that magical Oscar acceptance speech?

Penn State athletic director Dave Joyner wished Bill O'Brien the best as he leaves for the Houston Texans and said he anticipates the university's "robust" search for a replacement will take "a matter of days, not weeks." Joyner will chair a six-member search committee to find O'Brien's successor.
The search committee will also include Dr. Tom Poole, Vice President for Administration; Charmelle Green, Associate Athletic Director, Senior Woman Administrator; Dr. Linda Caldwell, Faculty Athletics Representative, Distinguished Professor; Bob Warming, men's soccer coach; and Wally Richardson, Director, Penn State Football Letterman's Club.
"We expect the search to be very timely and our anticipation is that we'll be counting this in a matter of days, not a matter of weeks," Joyner said.
A timely search is crucial with National Signing Day just over a month away and several recruits wavering on their verbal commitments. To that end, Joyner confirmed that defensive line coach Larry Johnson Sr. will lead the program in the interim and be considered if he's interested in the full-time job.
"I won't give you a firm date, but we are very encouraged we can have very positive information for [recruits] to continue at Penn State," Joyner said.
Joyner would not disclose details of the university's search, but said "consistency is important" in the program's next coach. He said he's also looking for a coach with integrity who can continue the program's tradition and compete for Big Ten and national championships. An affiliation to Penn State is not a requirement, Joyner said.
Penn State's last search for a head coach lasted 40 days and yielded an outsider in O'Brien. The program had just been rocked by the Jerry Sandusky scandal, and Joyner said they moved slowly through the process as a result. The committee is in a position to move quicker this time, and it will, Joyner said.
"This time, more and more can be focused directly on the coaching search, rather than trying to keep your focus on a dike, so to speak," Joyner said.

Swype hasn't been in the news much recently, and the gesture keyboard space has been dominated by news about Google adding it to Android 4.2 and SwiftKey's new Flow beta, but today Swype announced an update that keeps it as a serious competitor in the alternative keyboard market.

Great. Crowd-sourced misspellings. I'm a fan of Swype, even with its shortcomings, but this won't improve accuracy. Thankfully, this is an opt-in feature.

The local area guide to living in Winchelsea
The ancient town of Winchelsea, on the south coast of East Sussex, is built on the bones of a medieval port village and embodies all the character therein. Founded in 1288 by King Edward I, the town consists of quaint stone and timber framed buildings in medieval grid style.
The entire village is a designated Conservation Area and has many Grade 1 and Grade 2 Listed buildings. Winchelsea retains several ruins of arched gates around the village, as well as wine cellars beneath it. The area is steeped in history, famous first as a naval base and then for wine trade from Gascony in the 13th century.
Two miles south-west of the town of Rye and seven miles north-east of Hastings, Winchelsea is full of character and boasts beautiful walks with views of the coast. The seaside village of Winchelsea Beach, lovely for year-round strolls, is a stone's throw away, and Rye lies just across the River Brede.
Rye and Winchelsea are two of the five historical Cinque Ports and overlook the Romney Marsh and Brede Valley. Camber Sands and several other beaches are close by, and the surrounding countryside is largely managed by the National Trust.
Information about the local residents
Winchelsea falls within Eastern Rother, a ward of the Rother local authority, with a modest population of 2,627 as of 2011. Around 74% of the population is economically active, and the majority of those who are not are either retired or students.
The immediate village of Winchelsea consists of 278 houses and a population of 580 people. The top 3 occupations of residents are managers and senior officials, professional and associate professionals & technical. The neighbouring ward of Rye has similar figures.
There are a large number of clubs and societies in Winchelsea and residents are quite active in the community. There is a strong sense of security with an organised Neighbourhood Watch and Community Speed Watch.
There are clubs for bowls, cricket, dancing and tennis, and societies such as the Archaeological Society, Bonfire Boyes, Conservation Society, Garden Society, Literary Society and many others, including a significant number of church-based groups.
Nearby schools
The Local Education Authority for Rother is East Sussex County Council. In the Hastings-Winchelsea-Rye area, there are a good number of schools to choose from.
The popular St Thomas's CofE is the immediate primary school in Winchelsea, with Rye Community and Icklesham CofE also nearby, and the nearest secondary school is Rye College.
Schools covering secondary through to sixth form include Ark Helenswood Academy and Ark William Parker Academy, a girls' school and boys' school respectively.
Getting around
There are slow roads in the immediate area, though the M20 is about a 30-minute drive away. By car Hastings is 15 minutes away, Ashford 30 minutes and Rye only about 3 minutes. The Channel tunnel is around 50 minutes away.
London St Pancras can be reached in just over 1 hour by train. Though there is a train station in the town with trains running every two hours, nearby Rye has more frequent services. Due to the town's proximity to such locales, commuters are naturally attracted to the town.
The town is further served by bus. Buses run on two routes: Route 100 runs between Hastings and Rye and Route 344 runs between junction A259 and Winchelsea Beach.
Local shops
Though a small locality with only a pub or two, a post office, a couple of markets and the Court Hall in the main old village, Winchelsea does have a growing community with a variety of shops and businesses.
There is a local museum as well as the well-known underground Winchelsea Cellars. The area also benefits from the offerings of nearby Rye and Winchelsea Beach, which add to the dining options.
Further afield in Ashford, in the neighbouring county of Kent, dining and shopping venues are plentiful, including designer outlet stores and the Ashford Shopping Centre.

Proud of her Bothell heritage (her great-grandparents were Mary Ann and David Bothell), she was a longtime member of the Bothell Historical Society. Also, she has been honored for her 50 years as an Eastern Star member. As a 1931 graduate of BHS, she proudly supported the Bothell High School Alumni Association as a lifetime member. At the 1996 BHS homecoming, she was the Association's Honored Alumnus for her devotion and commitment to the community. She and her late husband, Jim, owned the General Petroleum Gas Station in Bothell and later the Bothell Hardware Store on Main St.

7 people injured in Indianapolis shooting
INDIANAPOLIS -- Seven people were shot early Saturday morning in an Indianapolis neighborhood known for its night life, police said.
An Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officer heard multiple gunshots at 2:23 a.m. Saturday in Broad Ripple, police spokesman Lt. Christopher Bailey said in a news release.
One man is in critical condition at a hospital, Bailey said. Five other men and a woman also were shot but do not have life-threatening injuries. All of the victims were in their 20s.
"I've been told there were quite a few people out ... on a typical Friday night, bouncing from bar to bar. Someone opens fire in a crowd like that, we're lucky more weren't hurt," Bailey said at a news conference early Saturday morning.
No one has been arrested in the shooting and a motive for the shooting isn't known, Bailey said. Police interviewed the victims and had left the scene by noon.
Broad Ripple is a neighborhood about 8 miles north of downtown Indianapolis that's bustling with bars and restaurants, and is a popular spot with college students and other young people. The shooting happened about a half-hour before the bars were to close at 3 a.m.
The shooting is the latest in a violent year for Indianapolis, which is on track to rival its record of 162 homicides, set in 1998.

The 5th Annual Charleston Bed Race is set to take place on Sunday, April 27 at Hampton Park in Downtown Charleston.
