LILY DALE - It has been an action packed eight weeks at Lily Dale Assembly. Executive Director Susan Glasier said it's been a very busy season.

Visitors gather for a guided tour of the Fairy Village, before the close of Lily Dale Assembly's summer season. In foreground are Natalie Larson, left, and Connie Dutcher, founders of the fairy complex, shown with Sundie Wilcox of Cassadaga.
A highlight was Children's Week in late July which included many events such as astrology workshops, a dance class, an ice cream social and lectures in mediumship and delivering messages of spirit.
Glasier said one of the more popular demonstrations during Children's Week was a special lesson in Qi Gong, an energy practice performed by Jedi warriors.
"Children's Week is getting bigger and bigger every year," Glasier said.
She added that the Fairy Trail, located behind the fire hall, is a favorite among children. The trail is lined with small fairy houses and villages contributed by visitors and residents for "Lily Dale's 'tiniest residents,'" according to the website. Victorian Times Weekend also drew many crowds this summer. All mediums dressed in Victorian Era costumes in an attempt to recreate the early days of the Assembly.
Both were "very well attended," according to Glasier.
The second annual Pet Remembrance celebration was held in the pet cemetery which dates back to 1900 when a horse fell through the ice on Cassadaga Lake. The horse was transported to Leolyn Woods, where this is now a special cemetery in remembrance of many pets owned by residents over time.
Glasier said that mediums, outdoor sessions and the healing temple attract the most people.
"Weekends are just tremendous. It stays pretty consistent," she said.
The Tibetan Monks of the Drepung Loseling Monastery performed a ceremony of healing through meditation.
"That was spectacular," Glasier said. "A wonderful ceremony."
Lily Dale's board of directors is already busy preparing for next summer. Seeing as how it is its own community with a fire department, post office and year round residency, Glasier said it's important to always be planning for the future.
She said, "We just keep on working, rebuilding and remodeling."
She also thanked the countless people who dedicate their time to making the community a success each season.
"It couldn't be done without volunteers. It would be almost impossible."
She said nearly 33,000 people visited Lily Dale last year and the numbers for this year's season are close to that figure. For next year, the Assembly is working on bringing in bigger names, more weekday workshops for mediumship and more special events.
The floating stage will also return to Cassadaga Lake next summer which Glasier said is special because attendees don't have to pay a gate fee and can view musical performances on their boats.
It's not too late to experience Lily Dale. Celebrate the end of summer with Gary and Cindy Renard who will guide a workshop on spiritual awakening and meditation through the weekend. For tickets and more information, call 595-8721. The last day of the season is today.

ALLEN PARK -- Detroit Lions safety Louis Delmas missed another practice Sunday, after being scratched from the team's first preseason game Friday against the New York Jets.
Two weeks into camp, he still hasn't fully practiced on consecutive days.
Detroit is being cautious with Delmas, who has battled a series of knee injuries in recent years, and there's no telling when he'll be cleared for more activity.
Coach Jim Schwartz said after Sunday's workout it wouldn't be ideal for Delmas to miss the entire preseason, but the veteran also pulled it off in the past, which allays concerns about whether he plays before the season opener Sept. 8 against Minnesota.
Delmas didn't open last season until Week 5, but recorded seven tackles and an interception to lift Detroit to a 26-23 win against the Philadelphia Eagles.
"He played well in that game, but it's not an ideal situation," Schwartz said. "You certainly want every player getting some hitting in, getting some game experience in, even though Lou doesn't need it from a scheme standpoint. It's important for all the players to be out there. We'll just take it as it comes."
The Lions return to action Thursday by traveling to the Cleveland Browns. Delmas' status is unknown.
He'll have a new starting pairing this year with Glover Quin, a veteran who was signed away from Houston in the offseason. They haven't played together much this preseason, but Quin said there's no hurry for Delmas to return.
"Every time they put him out there, we play like we been playin' for a long time," Quin said. "We've talked about certain things we like to do, so he knows what I like to do, and I know what he likes to do. When he's out there, we can just play.
"It's not a big concern."
Also missing Sunday's practice were cornerback Chris Greenwood, cornerback Ross Weaver and safety John Wendling.
The rest of the seven players who missed Friday's game -- offensive lineman Leroy Harris, defensive end Israel Idonije, receiver Ryan Broyles and cornerbacks Ron Bartell and Jonte Green -- all returned to practice Sunday.
Bartell was back with the first unit, after rookie Darius Slay started for him against the Jets, and Broyles returned to the slot with the first offense. That was his first full practice since Tuesday.
Broyles, who tore his right ACL eight months ago, missed Wednesday's practice with soreness in the knee. He was limited to one-on-ones Thursday and didn't play Friday.
"We'll see this week where (Delmas) ends up, try to have a good plan for getting those guys through and what makes sense in the game," Schwartz said. "It's too soon to categorize anything."

Mayor hopefuls square off in chamber debate
Police, pay and boosting the West End jobs market drew the focus of a debate between Mayor Bryon Monohon and Janet Hughes, his challenger in the Nov. 5 election.
"We've accomplished quite a lot in the last four years," Monohon told 50 people at the debate hosted by the Forks Chamber of Commerce at its regular Wednesday noon meeting in Hughes' candy store, JT's Sweet Stuffs.
Hughes, though, said city operations can be improved.
"We need to find every bit of waste there is in the city right now and make sure it's being used," she said.
Among achievements Monohon cited during his first term in the mayor's office, he pointed to a rebuilt police department, renovations of key arteries Russell Road and Division Street, the preservation of the West End Thunder drag races and a debt-free city government.
"And my word and my experience can keep City Hall on task," he said.
Hughes said the city has focused too much on staying free of debt, to the detriment of some of the city's equipment.
"Being in the black isn't everything it's cut out to be," she said, noting the city may need to incur debt to replace its fleet of police cars in particular.
Monohon noted the city's patrol fleet is primarily used State Patrol cruisers and the city is eyeing replacing those with more newly retired cars form the State Patrol.
Monohon noted the city was down to two police officers before the city hired current Police Administrator Rick Bart to rebuild the department in the summer of 2012.
"Now, I'm very happy with the level of service being provided," he said, pointing to the cadet program and police foundation that have formed since Bart took the post.
Hughes, too, noted the turnaround of the department.
"How did we survive with two officers?" she asked.
Hughes said the city needs to do more to help bring in jobs that will keep young people in Forks.
"You look at these kids that take the bus to school in P.A., and that's a 3½-hour bus ride," she said.
Monohon said he would rather focus the city's economic development efforts on growing local businesses.
"We can sit here and wait for some magical large company to come in but those are rare and often require lots of infrastructure and space," he said.
Both candidates pledged to continue the city's policy of not paying the mayor.
"We don't need pay," Hughes said. "It's an important thing to do — just to give back."
Monohon said pay would "cheapen the position," and he does the job for the "wonderful feeling" he gets from solving problems.
As for having enough time to devote to the position, Monohon said he gave up his full-time job more than a year ago and went back to substitute teaching to have the time to attend conferences and regional meetings.
Hughes said she has a staff of trusted employees that could cover for her at her candy store and bakery if she needed to leave town for meetings.
The county Auditor's Office was scheduled to mail ballots for the Nov. 5 election Wednesday, Oct. 16.

WOODBURY — A Glassboro man was sentenced to seven years in a New Jersey state prison on Friday for the armed robbery of the Pizza Hut in the borough where he worked
Josue Torres, 20, of the 1500 block of East Boulevard, pleaded guilty on Dec. 17 to first-degree armed robbery. Under the terms of the plea, he was sentenced as a second-degree offender.
His co-worker and a former shift manager, Alexsandra Chappine, 25, of Johnson Road, in Sicklerville, was sentenced in February to 364 days in county jail and five years probation as part of her plea agreement to theft by unlawful taking.
Both Torres and Chappine must repay Pizza Hut and its insurer $2,813 for cash stolen and damage caused, said Bernie Weisenfeld, spokesman for the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office.
During the robbery, which was caught on security camera, the robber, Torres, broke a window and held an Airsoft gun to Chappine, authorities said. Chappine's actions "raised suspicions of Glassboro Police Department investigators, resulting in the arrest of her and Torres on June 24, 2008," said Weisenfeld.

WEST SPRINGFIELD — The "Deadline Gang," a closely knit group of mostly Italian-American immigrants who grew up in West Springfield's Memorial Avenue neighborhood during the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, will be holding its last reunion on Sunday from 2-5 p.m. at the Dante Club, 1198 Memorial Ave.
The name 'deadline' is taken from railroad tracks that bordered the community, said Nancy Piccin, one of the reunion organizers whose father was a 'deadliner'.
"I'm struck by how strong the bonds are between these people who grew up together and how much, honestly, how much they remember," she said. "They can talk about something that happened in 1935 like it was yesterday."
There are 112 people anticipated to attend the last Deadline Gang reunion dinner, 80 to 100 of which are original 'deadliners' more than 90 years old, with a large portion having traveled to attend the reunion, she said.
"It's an unusual thing, I think; today, especially, people are a lot more mobile (and) they don't tend to live in the same neighborhood forever," she said.
Mayor Edward C. Sullivan is expected to speak about the deadline group at around 4:30 p.m., she said. Piccin will also serve as master of ceremonies.
A plaque will be placed at the Dante Club to commemorate the Deadline Gang, she said.
One of the Deadline Gang members included Sam A. Pompei, who was a sports editor at The Republican before his retirement in 1974, she said.

Signs have been posted in the window for months advertising the opening of the Pad Thai restaurant at the Silver Spring Square shopping center.
Finally, the doors of the Thai sit-down at 6416 Carlisle Pike in Silver Spring Twp. opened Thursday. The decor is simple and contemporary. Light sparkles off of dozens of mirrors affixed to one wall, casting a glow on the 50-seat dining room.
Owner is Saksit Siraphan. He grew up in Thailand and lived in Georgia for a few years working in restaurants.
A friend, who works at Wegmans supermarket in the shopping center, suggested Siraphan open a Thai restaurant in the space next to SweetFrog Premium Frozen Yogurt.
Siraphan hired chef Anong Phondphan, who has worked at and owned restaurants in New York and New Jersey for more than 20 years.
"The fare is authentic and original," Siraphan said.
The menu is filled with Thai specialties and combinations not found at other local Thai establishments. The signature dish is the Phuket Pad Thai made with bean thread noodles stir fried with mixed seafood, bean sprouts, egg, crushed peanuts and scallion in a house sauce.
A Gang Som is crispy catfish in som curry paste with tamarind juice and mixed vegetables, while the Hor Mok is sauteed mixed seafood with red curry paste, napa cabbage, egg, basil leaves and coconut milk served in a whole coconut.
A Birdy Wings appetizer takes chicken wings to new heights by stuffing them with ground pork and glass noodles doused with a secret sauce. There are Emerald Dumplings stuffed with sweet crab meat, shrimp, minced pork and water chestnuts in a sauce.
The standard Pad Thai was super flavorful and definitely worth a return trip.
Prices range from $5 for spring rolls to between $5 and $10 for lunch entrees. Specialty selections are priced $19 to $23. The menu covers a healthy and green section with vegetarian items such as a vegetarian duck in panag curry and a tofu pad thai.
Diners are welcome to bring their own bottles of wine.
It is open 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Friday-Saturday and 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday. Phone is 717-796-1246.

GRAND BLANC -- Michigan State quarterbacks coach Brad Salem has served on head coach Mark Dantonio's staff for the past three seasons and won conference and division championships alongside him.
But it was last season's 7-6 campaign, which featured five losses by a combined 13 points, when Salem saw Dantonio at his best.
"It's hard to say that as fans and supporters and you're, 'Oh man, we were 7-6,' but I would say that was by far the best job that our head coach has ever done," Salem told the MSU Genesee County Alumni Club earlier this week. "And hearing all the media or the things, it was unbelievable how every game was one, two three points. But in the building, it was unbelievable how he kept us together.
"Could have easily been division -- offense-defense, senior-freshman, that kind of stuff -- and so it's just interesting to kind of walk through that. Interesting year. Do you learn from it? Absolutely."
Michigan State needed a win in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl to clinch a winning season after it began with Rose Bowl hopes. The Spartans settled for extending their longest bowl appearance streak in school history.
"To be able to go to six bowl games in a row, that's never been done," Salem said. "And to win two consecutive. But we're not where we need to be. We understand that. "
The goal, as Dantonio has said and Salem reiterated, is to get to Pasadena.
"And we will," Salem said.

He serves his country and state as a soldier in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, and even serves at the local level as a police officer.
But according to a lawsuit filed last week in Cumberland County court, he's not getting paid what he's owed under state law.
Camp Hill Police Department officer W. Scott Cornelious filed a suit against the borough, saying they owe him 75 days worth of pay for time he spent on military leave between 2009 and 2012 – which includes a tour in Afghanistan.
Cornelious' attorney, Christopher Cook, said state law dictates that service members working for political subdivisions like the borough's police department are entitled to up to 15 days worth of military leave pay from their employer.
And when they serve overseas in a combat zone, he said that entitles them to 30 days pay.
"The Legislature decided nine years ago they're going to take care of our Pennsylvania military members," Cook said. "It bemoans me to think that somebody who is serving our country on the state and federal level cannot get the benefit of a simple state law."
According the suit, the borough owes Cornelious pay for a portion of the time that he served in two-week annual trainings, in storm relief efforts in the state, and serving overseas in Afghanistan.
And since Cornelious was not awarded the military leave pay, Cook said he had to use his personal vacation time to make up the difference, leaving him no vacation time to spend with his family.
"He has the right to these benefits," Cook said.
Camp Hill Borough Manager Gary Kline did not return phone calls for comment.
According to the suit, Cornelious is asking the judge to order Camp Hill to provide him with paid military leave for those 75 days.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Last week's bye was big for Ohio State. How big? For linebacker Ryan Shazier, about five pounds.
The Buckeyes practiced last Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday before Urban Meyer gave the team the weekend to relax. Shazier accompanied defensive lineman Joel Hale to his home in Greenwood, Ind.
Meyer warned all players that the staff would hold a weigh-in on Monday morning. Shazier estimated he had lost about five pounds, mass that he needed to reacquire before he stepped on the scale on Monday.
Hale's mother, Dawn, helped Shazier's cause.
"Once we walked into the house, his mom had fried chicken," Shazier said. "The next day, she had some steaks. It was amazing. I haven't had that in a while."
Shazier weighed in at his desired mark of 230 pounds on Monday. Hale also made his weight.
"We were just eating like kings," Hale said.
Receiver Corey "Philly" Brown retreated to Upper Darby, Pa., to watch his 13-year-old brother, Justin, play football. Brown said his brother, a running back and safety for his eighth-grade team, scored on all three of his touches.
"We've been here for so many consecutive weeks in a row," Brown said, "so to be able to go home and spend time with your family was good."
Brown also seized the free weekend to visit his favorite eatery, Geno's Steaks.
"I had to get a cheesesteak," Brown said. "They don't make them good up in Ohio."
The bye week also provided the Buckeyes a mental reprieve. Each of the previous two weeks, Ohio State played a primetime game against a ranked opponent. Meyer had promised a less-intense week if the team escaped its encounters with Wisconsin and Northwestern with wins.
"I don't think it could have come at a better time," Brown said.
The team reconvened at 7 a.m. on Monday morning for a series of meetings. Meyer said they plan to practice in pads on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
The team placed emphasis on shoring up its pass defense during the extra week of practice. The Buckeyes are allowing 240 yards per game through the air, a trend Meyer referred to as being "very alarming."
Iowa, Ohio State's opponent on Saturday, also was idle last week.
Meyer's teams are 21-2 in games immediately following a bye, though the coach sidestepped praise for that mark.
"I've been very blessed to have really good assistant coaches, and I think we manage it well," Meyer said. "I think that's where my strength coach is very involved, or where I always seek guidance on how our team is doing."
Meyer watched his daughter's volleyball match over the weekend. Gigi Meyer plays for Florida Gulf Coast University.
Meanwhile, Meyer's players gorged on fried chicken and cheesesteaks.
And to think, after upcoming games against Iowa, Penn State and Purdue, the Buckeyes have another week off.
Can it live up to the bye week that was?
"I had an amazing time," Shazier said.

The first phase of a $2 million municipal marina upgrade in Grand Haven will start in the spring and be completed before the 2008 boating season, pending city council approval Monday.
The council is set to vote on awarding the low-bid contract to Hardman Construction of Ludington to replace fixed docks and slips. The company's contract is worth $808,657, said city facilities manager Julie Beaton.
The total project cost for the first phase, including engineering studies, is $1 million. A grant from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources will pay $500,000, and the city would match that.
Once completed, there will be 28 fixed slips made of a composite material. The slips will be longer and wider to accommodate larger vessels. The slips will be 50 to 80 feet long and 30 to 52 feet wide.
There are 31 fixed slips there now. Harsh winters have taken their toll on the 35-year-old docks, officials have said.
New sidewalks leading up to the docks will be installed as well.

Band history still to come.
More Reviews Current Updates Print article Rating explanation
I have to admit that I feel myself becoming increasingly disappointed with 1349. Their debut EP was excellent, but their debut "Liberation" just didn't quite live up to the hype and now, in turn, "Beyond The Apocalypse" doesn't quite even live up to "Liberation"
When the self titled EP was written, 1349 had nothing to ride on and as a result, a significant amount of effort was put into writing it. After that however, it seems as though they're simply riding on the laurels of that EP, as well as the attention that having Frost in the band is bringing them. Incidentally, Frost's frantic drum work is the highlight of the disc, especially on "Nekronatalenheten".
Aside from that, however, so many of these tracks are lifeless and just sit there and it's really a shame, because this band is capable of so much more. You can feel that the members are simply going through the motions when listening to the disc. Every once and a while, something interesting comes along and there are a few solid tracks, but after the more impressive material that's come from this band, I can't help but feel disappointed in the material that they've released since.

Ports shore connection catches negative feedback
POULSBO The Port of Poulsbo cast its nets in hopes of reeling in community feedback Thursday night, detailing for a crowd of about 15 preliminary plans for a shore connection to Net Shed Vista, a .84-acre park along Fjord Drive.
The addition would span more than 200 feet and stem from a new floating breakwater set to be installed as part of the ports 15.8-acre harbor line expansion, allowing non-boaters access to the bay as well as providing a pedestrian path from the new floating dock to shore.
Port manager Kirk Stickels said designs for the project are still in beginning stages and the process could take time, as engineering tests have not yet been conducted and permitting often take up to three years.
This was the second of three outreach meetings held by the port in an effort to hear from members of the community, and hear from them they did.
The overwhelming consensus was an unwelcoming one as several neighbors of the park expressed concerns regarding the shore connection, as well as the notifications the port gave for the meeting itself.
This should be for the city of Poulsbo, not for the tourists that come, said resident Gene Fullerton. He, along with many at the meeting, argued the shore connection would cater to out-of-towners visiting on large leisure ships and in turn take up the citys last piece of undeveloped beach property. The park currently holds just picnic tables and benches.
Many generations have enjoyed the use of that park, he said. Thats it. When its gone, its gone.
The ports expansion was given the go-ahead from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources in June, and has hired a grant writer to help secure more funding. Stickels said a port districts mandate is to grow and develop, and take advantage of economically beneficial opportunities.
Resident Ed Couch said Net Shed Vista provides a poor passenger unloading area, as Fjord Drives sidewalk sits on the east side of the street, causing the need for pedestrians to cross the busy thoroughfare. He said its a danger, as well as a devaluation on area properties.
I want to know where the thought of the community is involved and not the commercial aspect, he said.
The length of the ramp itself would be a substantial walk, another worry many expressed.
Stickels said the port would ensure it was up to Americans with Disabilities Act standards.
The Net Shed park being a public park already, we looked to that to see if it would be feasible, he said. The raamp itself would be quite lengthy, theres no question about it.
Though the shore connection is not necessary for the ports expansion, it would allow more of its funding to be kept local. If the city allowed the port control of Net Shed Vista, payments normally made to the DNR would instead be split between the two local entities.
Port Commissioner Tony DeCarlo said the port is already able to divide $19,000 a year between it and the city because Poulsbo allows it control of the Waterfront Park area. That money would normally be given to the DNR.
DeCarlo said the port had also considered connecting the new floating breakwater with D Dock in the Poulsbo Marina, providing better passenger access to the downtown area. However, that would block in larger ships needing to leave at low tides.
Our thought in putting this thing together was to make it available for everyone who lives in the city to get onto the water, said Port of Poulsbo Commissioner Arnold Bockus.
Fullerton said the park should be left out of the ports expansion plans, and even called on a petition signed by 144 in 1984 for the preservation of the area for resident recreation.
Years ago we had the run of the beaches here, he said. In 84 we did get involved and I hope that the foresight those citizens had... was not for naught.
The port will hold another community outreach meeting, though the date has yet to be determined. Stickels admitted notification for the previous two meetings did hit glitches, as the port had incomplete information on who needed to be informed. Notification for the next meeting will be thorough, he said.
Studies as to how the shore connection will affect bay health and marine life have yet to be conducted.
All comments made will be brought back to the Poulsbo City Council for determination on the project.

CHICOPEE – A Health Department commercial refrigerator used to store vaccines and other medications apparently malfunctioned this week, freezing about 300 doses of flu vaccine.
The incident prompted the cancellation of a clinic planned for Oct. 20 at the Chicopee Senior Center. The vaccines were for the seasonal flu, not the swine flu, which has been hitting children and young people harder than seniors.
Health director Lisa A. Sanders said there was no indication there was anything wrong with the refrigerator at the Health Department in the rear of the Public Safety Complex.
A nurse came in and found the vaccines frozen.
"The refrigerator is 7 years old. It was working fine. We don't know what happened. There was also a couple of doses of Menactra in the refrigerator used for meningitis," if needed, Sanders said.
"Once we found it frozen, we called the Senior Center and told them. Now, we have to wait until late October or early November" to get additional doses from the state Department of Health.
If the city received an expected 300 doses, officials will schedule a flu clinic open to those 55 or older and those with chronic illness.
"It will probably be first come, first serve," said Sanders, who said her department will make an announcement when the clinic is scheduled.
Sanders said her office has had many calls from senior citizens concerned about the swine flu vaccine, which is expected to be delivered soon to cities and towns. However, she is advising seniors that the vaccine is being targeted to young people who are more likely to succumb to the flu.

Former Lehigh student Issa Menafi gave a presentation this past Thursday about his time in the Libyan rebellion and his thoughts on America's involvement in Libya.
His presentation, "American Intervention in Libya: From the Libyan Perspective," was sponsored by the Global Union, the World Affairs Club and the Office of International Affairs.
"This is a highly relevant event and we want Lehigh students to have a different perspective than typically seen," said Carolina Mattsson, '14, president of the Global Union.
Menafi, originally from Libya, came to Lehigh in June 2008 to study engineering as a graduate student. He stayed at Lehigh for a few years, but returned back home to Libya when events escalated during 2010.
Menafi began his presentation by giving a speech about the Libyan revolution, including what it meant to him personally and why he chose to become involved. He then presented a background of Libyan history and the events leading up to the rebellion.
Menafi said Libya had been improving since its independence from Italy in 1949 and under King Idris the country was peaceful. However, in 1969 Gaddafi and his followers coordinated a coup to gain power, leading to the country's decline.
Gaddafi's reign brought about a rise in cruelty that gained international notoriety. The events began with the murdering of his comrades and national controversies, but escalated to international crimes.
On April 7, 1976, Gaddafi executed protesting students. Instead of covering up the massacre, he declared the day a holiday. In the 1980s, he was linked to international bombings and publicly supported terrorist groups. In 1996, Gadaffi murdered 1,269 prisoners because they demanded more humane accommodations.
Menafi explained that after more than four decades without freedom under Gaddafi, it was time for a change. Although the rebels worked for reform through peaceful protests, they were forced to fight after Gaddafi used violence.
"Gaddafi doesn't refrain from doing anything if he has the choice. He stays in power and Libyan people die," Menafi said.
Menafi's perspective on American intervention was positive, because the country welcomed the United States' help.
"Americans should be proud of their government's moral stance with Libya," he said. "Libyans appreciate [America's] stance and will not disappoint you."
After Gaddafi's death, the rebels quickly initiated a new form of government. However, Menafi denounced Gaddafi's murderers, saying he should have been brought to justice rather than killed.
"We didn't intend to do that…taking revenge doesn't reform our country," he said.
Without Gaddafi, though, the new government was able to stabilize the country.
The Libyan revolution began Feb. 17, 2011, and by Feb. 27 of the same year, the National Transitional Council had been formed to represent and govern the country. By March 10 of that year, France had officially recognized the new Libyan government.
Although Menafi left Lehigh to join the rebellion, he did not sever ties with the university. Even with the unstable situation, he remained in contact with his colleagues at Lehigh, giving them frequent updates about his activities. Menafi and a panel of members from the National Transitional Council spoke to Lehigh students in a Skype conference from one of the rebel headquarters in Benghazi in April 2011. The session was picked up by national media due to the fact that Menafi was one of very few people discussing the volatile situation in real time.
Menafi is now working to finish his doctorate at the University of Dayton. He does not know what he will do in the future, but after finishing his doctorate, he imagines that he will return to Libya.
"I don't know what will happen [in the future] but I think my country needs me," he said.

Dreamgirls at Duke Ellington School of the Arts
Jacques Benovil | 12/8/2010, 6:38 p.m.
Click below to see a slide show
A night of a Thousand Young Stars
Opening night for the production of Dreamgirls at Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Georgetown was met with cheers, tears and rousing applause by a captivated audience.
Family members, friends, teachers, classmates, alumni and future students filled the Ellington Theatre, Tue., Dec. 2 to see months and hundreds of hours of hard work come to life.
No one left disappointed
The 1981 Broadway musical, Dreamgirls, best known for its signature song "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" made famous by Tony Award-winning actress Jennifer Holliday and revived in 2006 by Jennifer Hudson on the Silver Screen, recounts the story of the all-girl group, the Dreamettes from Detroit, who are determined to make it in show business. The group consists of two sisters and one lifelong friend. The trio, confront all of the back room dealings, lies and deceit typically associated with the music industry. The women soon begin to realize that this business has almost nothing to do with the music as much as it has to do with appearance, race and audience appeal.
The production was a collaborative effort that involved Ellington students, faculty and numerous creative consultants. Marta Reid Stewart, chair of the Museum Studies Department, asked her students to create an interactive gallery installation that would reflect the time period that Dreamgirls takes place during the 1960s. Guests who entered the Ellington Gallery on opening night en route to the Theatre found themselves in a completely different era: Black and White televisions reigned, checkered pattern faux wood tile floors were all the rage and a record player could be found in the majority of American households.
For example, the installation, "The Living Room" depicts a 1960's or early 70's decor - a space where families came together to watch The Ed Sullivan Show, an American variety show on Sundays that featured live performances by The Supremes and other acts by all-girl and male groups. Juwan Womack, a first-year museum studies student, designed the installation.
On opening night, 'Jebby' showed up to infuse life into the installation. He donned a drab olive green military jacket, denim trousers and work boots. He sported an Afro and comfortably planted himself on the upholstered couch. Although 'Jebby' was there to see the performance, he unknowingly became a part of the interactive installation.
In the lobby, while family, friends, faculty and other patrons of the arts waited for the theatre doors to open, the hustle and bustle of last minute preparations added to the evening's excitement. The air was filled with the thrill of anticipation that something special was about to happen.
If you didn't already know where you were -- you would have thought you were attending an opening night at The National Theatre or The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets were being handed out through will call, Playbills were being distributed and people sold glossy Dreamgirl magazines. Others donned t-shirts that read, "Dreamgirls, The Duke Ellington School of the Arts Presents Dreamgirls."
Armed with a notepad, pen and camera I patiently waited with the masses for this theatrical thrill ride to begin. The doors open and the theatre fills, the orchestra can be heard tuning up before the curtain rises, the house lights dim and Principal Rory Pullens enters from stage right.
The audience's applause resonated throughout the theatre.
"Four months and two hundred fifty students later we accomplished something we've never done before," Pullens said.
The principal continued to talk about the elaborate costumes, the 100 wigs that would be worn, the incredible set design and the 6,000 plus tickets that sold prior to opening night. He exits stage right and the spotlight goes down.
The Magic Begins.
The music starts, actors appear on stage and the performance gets underway. The audience is magically transported back in time with song, dance and of course, elaborate costume changes. The center stage rotates and portrays both the front and back stage. The performers masterfully glide with this moving stage thanks to well-choreographed fluid movements that create one continuous motion. The pace of the performance was like that of an express train that makes only a few stops along the way with no delays. If you looked away for a second, you could miss something visually spectacular.
The cast was energetic and the electricity of the excitement on stage transferred to spellbound guests. Each act and scene, costume change and dance routine in response to various songs, was well received by an engaged audience that responded with laughter, applause and minutes before intermission moved to tears. Ellington anticipates everything and tissues were handed out as Victoria Davis who plays Effie White bellowed out an emotionally charged, powerfully moving, tear jerking rendition of "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going."
Sniffles followed along with a standing ovation. The house lights went up.
Dreamgirls is directed by Lynda Gravtt, choreographed by Charles Augins, Musical Director e'Marcus Harper with Conductor Isaac Daniel, Jr., Set Designer Dan Conway, Costumer Designer Karen Perry, Lighting Designer Curtis V. Hodge, Producers Tia Powell Harris and Kenneth Johnson and Executive Producer Rory L. Pullens.
This production of Dreamgirls is truly a work of art and showcases the hard work and dedication of the talented, young and the forever young at heart. This collective effort resulted in one amazing theatrical production.
Dreamgirls, the musical, tells the story about how hard it is to make it in show business. For students at Ellington, art remains the shining star that imitates life. The play, has served as a learning experience that illustrates to both students and audiences alike that if you work hard and persevere, all things are possible.
Three hundred eighty eight photos later, Duke Ellington School of the Arts has once again convinced me that their long tradition of excellence in areas that include theatrical, visual arts, museum studies, instrumental music, vocal music, technical design and production, literary media and communications and dance is an arts program well worth supporting.
Dreamgirls at Duke Ellington School of the Arts runs through Dec. 18.
Tickets can be purchased by calling 202-337-4825.

Jimmy Rankin Tinsel Town Dec 20-2013
"Tinsel Town" is Jimmy Rankin's first Christmas Album. It is Rankin's seventh release to date from this singer songwriter who is originally from Mabou, Cape Breton. Having been a member of the infamous Rankin Family band and as a solo artist Jimmy has accumulated 5 Juno Awards and 28 East Coast Music Awards just to name a few.
Jimmy grew up with eleven siblings and now with two children of his own it certainly makes Christmas time a very big deal in his home. That is very evident in the enthusiasm the listener hears when "Tinsel Town" is playing.
There are many tracks on the album that actually work any time of year which makes this album a perfect soundtrack. The CD has four original songs from Jimmy which he has worked hard to remove the commercial aspect of Christmas and rediscover the old fashioned beauty and joy of the season. The recording also includes eight traditional songs that Rankin has rearranged and which he chose because they each hold a special meaning for the singer songwriter. His cover of John Denver's "Christmas for Cowboys" is one of my favourites on the album. What has most people talking though is the packaging that this Cape Bretoner has chosen. The CD sleeve doubles as a Christmas card which allows it to be mailed easily as the perfect present.
The Holidays are a time when we find warmth and joy in our traditions and the music we chose to listen to certainly has a very big role to play. I honestly believe that "Tinsel Town" will be an album that is played in each Canadian household year after year during the winter season. It was an incredible evening spent at the Glasgow Square in late November watching Jimmy Rankin perform the tracks from Tinsel Town live and I strongly recommend adding this CD to your Holiday soundtrack.

So it's not even lunch time on a Monday and here I am talking about food again. But, I just HAD to share these pictures of my dad's incredible 50th birthday cake….
It was an AMAZING, MOUTHWATERING citrus mud cake (tasted like a lemon/lime infused white chocolate mud cake), layered with a zesty lemon buttercream.
It was made by a friends' sister who creates wonderful cakes (edible art really) from home. I just provided her with a photo of my dad's favourite guitar, the Gibson Robot Guitar – and voila! – she nailed the brief.
This has to be one of the best looking and tasting cakes I have ever had the privilege of eating – and it sure impressed all the guests, including my dad, though it was a shame to cut such a masterpiece!
Have a lovely Monday,
♥ ♥ ♥

Island County commissioners Jill Johnson and Helen Price Johnson had no option but to strip Kelly Emerson of her role as board chairwoman this week.
Undoubtedly, it was a difficult vote for Emerson's fellow commissioners to cast, but it was the right one.
When she was named chairwoman of the Board of Island County Commissioners, Emerson wasn't directed on what to say or how to vote.
Her voice was not silenced.
However, after a decision was made by the board, whether she agreed with it or not, Emerson's responsibility was to implement that decision and abide by it.
Instead, she opted to go rogue.
A week ago, Emerson issued a notice saying she would attend a public meeting to discuss a possible law and justice levy measure for November's ballot. The meeting was held in the district Emerson represents.
Prior to Emerson issuing that notice, Johnson, a Republican, and Price Johnson, a Democrat, said they made it clear that each commissioner would attend the law and justice meetings planned in their respective districts.
Emerson, a Republican who represents Camano Island, maintained that wasn't her understanding.
Johnson, who backed out of attending the Oak Harbor meeting, issued a warning to Emerson — do it again and her vote, which put Emerson in the chair position, would be rescinded.
This week, Emerson did it again. She issued a similar notice and attended the law and justice meeting planned for Freeland, the district represented by Price Johnson.
Johnson and Price Johnson followed through with their warning and voted to remove Emerson as chair.
The commissioners must now put this debacle behind them and move on with the business of Island County.
Their responsibilities are great and work load huge, there is no time for any more of these distractions.
We don't want to see any more unnecessary "rogue" moments to hamper their efforts.

100 metro-area children; 120 volunteers; 1 day: Every February, in participation with National Children's Dental Health Month, Creighton School of Dentistry hosts Give Kids A Smile. The School of Dentistry has sponsored the event for more than a decade—bringing together dentists, hygienists, dental students, dental hygiene students and other volunteers to give uninsured metro-area children much needed oral health education and care.
Making Dental Hygiene Fun for Kids

BOSTON - The Boston Bruins are heading back to the Stanley Cup final for the second time in three years thanks to a sweep over the Pittsburgh Penguins in the best-of-7 conference finals Friday night at TD Garden.
Adam McQuaid scored Game 4's only goal at 5:01 of the third period while netminder Tuukka Rask posted his second shutout of the series and finished with 26 saves.
Boston will play either the Chicago Blackhawks or Los Angeles Kings.
"It's very exciting. It's a feeling you can't describe," Brad Marchand said. "We've worked for this our whole lives and it doesn't matter that we won one a couple years back. I think it made us that much hungrier to be back here and win another one. We're extremely excited right now."
Marchand assisted on McQuaid's strike to finish with four points for the series. Overall he has 13.
Center David Krejci had a real life perspective on returning to the Cup finals.
"It's pretty cool," Krejci said. "Yesterday I was watching TV and somebody on TV said the Bruins are going for the sweep in Game 4 to get to the Stanley Cup final for second time in three years. It was pretty cool to hear and now we're here, now we're talking about going to the final again."
Here are other team reactions:
Left winger Milan Lucic
"It's awesome. Being through what we've been through as a team over the years and even this year with everything that happened in the first round and Game 7 and just going through that and getting to this point, it's truly a great feeling. I think we definitely need to enjoy this tonight...just enjoy it the next couple of days and then regroup, refocus, and go out there and start having fun."
Coach Claude Julien
"What it means to us, it means a lot. We pride ourselves on our game. We work hard at it. As you saw, there was a lot of commitment in this game tonight. You look at the blocked shot by Gregory Campbell to tonight when the game was on the line. I think our guys really paid the price and did what it took to get there."
Goalie Tuukka Rask
"That's what you dream about, right? Couldn't be better."

New South Kitsap eatery won't be offering diners faux pho
Her menu is literally fusion cuisine — a juxtaposition of all her experiences.
Jenny Diep, 35, who is of Chinese descent, was born in Vietnam and moved to the Seattle area when she was 11. As a teenager, she began working in area restaurants, learning recipes to incorporate with those she learned from her family.
The result is Kai Pan Asian Cuisine, which opened last week at 110 Bethel Ave. The menu features a variety of pho, specialty dishes, vermicelli bowls, Vietnamese sandwiches, fried rice and wok-fried noodles. Most items are less than $10.
Diep, who is collaborating with Kyle La at the restaurant, said that their pho is a specialty. Offerings of the fresh rice-noodle soup include tofu and vegetables, chicken, thinly sliced brisket and meatballs. She said she cooks the broth throughout the day and incorporates cilantro, onions and spices.
"I'm trying to focus on the pho because I think it's very healthy and warming," Diep said. "It's like chicken noodle soup for Americans."
She said health was a significant consideration in devising her menu, and that none of its offerings include MSG, a common food additive.
Health-conscious customers also might consider the vermicelli bowl. Diep offers five different combinations featuring fresh vegetables, which she purchases daily, herbs, ground peanuts and either grilled chicken, pork, scrimp or tofu. She also buys her meats daily. And the dish comes with a surprise.
"The naughty twist is the egg roll," she said.
Diep considers herself an adventurous eater and also likes to provide those options to her customers.
"I always want someone to try something more on the daring side, like my honey cashew shrimp," Diep said. "I have giant, jumbo prawns, cashew nuts, and the mayo dressing I create is tangy. The shrimp pops in your mouth because it is crispy."
The meal is topped with cashews, which is different from the traditional offering of shrimp with walnuts. Diep said she uses cashews in the plate, which is the restaurant's most expensive at $11.95, because they lack the "bitter" aftertaste that walnuts leave.
Whatever a customer orders, she said she strives to provide a filling meal at a reasonable price.
Diep eventually hopes to expand the menu to include desserts and possibly such mainstays as sesame chicken. She also wants to have beer and wine.
For now, Diep is excited about her restaurant, which is named after her 20-month old son, Kai, and is painted with light shades of green, orange and yellow. The dining area seats about 50 people, and the restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
"Customers like the colors," Diep said. "They think it's happy."
She also looks forward to soon making Port Orchard her home.
"I've lived in the city pretty much all of my life," Diep said. "It's just getting too crowded and chaotic over there. I would like to have a place where I could recognize everyone and it's more like a family. A place where I can recognize all of the faces."

He may be dehydrated and lacking electrolytes. Bouillon drink to perk him up?
So husband is only on day 5 Paleo and he has had the carb flu bad since day 1. He's getting discouraged and yesterday resorted to an energy shot at work so he could function. My carb flu only lasted 2 or 3 days but I was 90% grain free 2 years before paleo so it was just a sugar detox for me.
Any advice? I desperately want him to stick it out but if I can't make it a bit easier on him then I'm going to lose him.
Here is a sample of his daily eating:
Sausage, eggs, yams and cabbage all cooked in ghee. Maybe a cup of coffee with heavy cream and a bit of coconut sugar.
Large salad with a can of tuna, a hard boiled egg and balsamic vinegar and olive oil on top.
Bacon wrapped chicken, butternut squash soup and kale salad.
Snacks and extras
A few strips of homemade beef jerky
hardboiled egg
homemade raw dark chocolate with nuts
one piece of fruit
1/2 an avocado on something
I make everything myself from scratch at home and I have Celiac so I am crazy careful about additives so I know it's all gluten and sugar free. All the meat and the heavy cream is local and organic, the eggs were laid in our backyard.
Any thoughts on where I might be going wrong?
He may be dehydrated and lacking electrolytes. Bouillon drink to perk him up?
That's a stumper, that menu looks luxuriously complete. What were his old staples? If he's coming from "24/7 exogenous glucose" mode it'll be a little tougher.
My peculiar nutrition glossary and shopping list
Thanks, it's what I eat but in larger quantities since he outweighs me by 60 pounds.
He ate a lot of rice before, was in the "healthy" habit of eating every 2 hours and would polish off the kids' sandwich crusts, eat bowls of gluten free cereal right before bed and such. I've taken away the kids' bread and pasta too so everyone in the house except me is a wee bit cranky this week.
stopping the really frequent eats is probably the hardest change; I was this type of eater before too and our bodies get conditioned to expect it. I commiserate with him but it wont last much longer. He'd be better off eating a little more fruit, like berries, perhaps rather than using energy drinks
When I'd had enough of the grain and starched based 'diabetic eating for health' diet (eating for health, my ass!) my weight was 242.5 lbs. On starting primal- 18th April 2013 weight : 238.1.
27th July 2013. weight after 100 days 136.9 weight lost 101.2lb ; that's 105.6lbs since I stopped the 'diabetic eating for health'
new journal http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum...ml#post1264082
He just needs more time to adjust. Some people take longer than others. For me it was pretty much overnight.
For others I hear it can be a month or more.
Could be electrolytes as well, although I'd be loathe to mess around with those too much. If he's eating real fermented veggies, sausage, bacon, and beef jerky, all of which are copiously salted most of the time, I imagine he is getting his fair share of daily sodium. I never add salt to anything myself, but my consumption of fermented foods is high enough to make up for that. I eat it like candy.
His bigger issue, if it is an electrolyte issue might be an imbalance. Maybe instead of more sodium, he needs more potassium to balance electrolyte levels out? Should be at least twice as much potassium (preferably even more) than sodium in your diet on a daily basis.
Good to know, I'll maybe get him to add a banana to breakfast.
Agree with drumroll...do you get lo-salt in Canada? I use that to keep potassium up as it is 50-50 NA-K. Alternative maybe diarolyte or whatever it's called in Canada (as long as it isn't full of sugar). I think it's just tough changing the habits of a lifetime. My wife went through the same stuff as she was an terrible carb-hound but I had few problems as I was used to going hungry.
Either eat more fat or just eat larger portions in general. The issue is likely caloric.

Attorney General Eric Holder told the Senate Judiciary Committee that the Aaron Swartz case was "[a] good use of prosecutorial discretion." Swartz, co-founder of Reddit, a social news and entertainment bulletin board and an internet phenom who committed suicide while awaiting trial on thirteen felonies with a maximun sentence of 50 years for copying academic articles belonging to JSTOR off of MIT's computers. While perhaps his plan to make the articles available to the public was not legal, Swartz, as a Harvard faculty member had legal access to the articles on the MIT computer system. He did not plan to make any money off the operation and his sole purpose seems to have been to make the professorial knowledge available to the public.
Prior to committing suicide Swartz turned down a government offer that would have him do only a couple of months in jail. According to Holder if he had gone to trial and had been convicted the government would have requested that he be sentenced to seven years. But under the Federal system the sentence is up to the judge who could have given him up to 50 years.
His family and many people in the internet community thought he had been seriously overcharged and that nothing that he did warranted anywhere near a 50 year (or a 7 year) sentence. Swartz refused to take any offer that involved jail or prison time.
The problem with the government's position, contrary to Holder's statement, is that it forces Swartz and other defendants facing significant amounts of time for relatively minor crimes is that it forces all but the foolhardy to plead guilty whether they are guilty or not. While I tell all of my clients that they should not plead guilty unless they are guilty I can understand when a client does not risk the vagaries of a trial and pleads guilty when the government offers six months when losing at trial could result in a 50 year sentence. Very few clients turn down a six month plea offer with five years or 25 years or 50 years hanging over their head.

Sony to open up their platform to more free-to-play
Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida has been talking about the possibilities for the future for their gaming platforms.
Free-to-play is forming more and more of a part of Sony's strategy for the future but it is something that they watching very carefully.
Yoshida said, "...there are free-to-play games already available on console, and the reaction has been pretty good. But when people think of free-to-play they think of social games... and there are certain mechanics in social games that are a bit concerning, personally - they kind of play psychological tricks on people. That's something that we will be watching carefully, because it's not like there are an infinite number of consumers that we can take from. We always consider the long-term trust relationship with our consumers. But in general, I still think free-to-play can offer a new kind of content and services to consumers that the traditional model can't duplicate. I think it's additive to our offering."
When asked if they were planning to open up their platform to expand their free-to-play Yoshida explained, "The short answer is yes. We will learn as we go about what people find attractive and exciting, and we can use that feedback in our future plans. Without trying we won't learn."
Thanks GamesIndustry.biz.

MMA fans were already excited when the UFC announced Lafayette native Daniel Cormier (15-0) would step in for Alexander Gustafson to face light heavyweight champion Jon Jones (20-1) at UFC 178 in September.
But after Jones and Cormier came to blows at a Monday press event, the bout began to draw even more buzz.
Cormier and Jones have both made several appearances on national talk shows and networks to promote the fight, since, and have answered several questions about the scuffle that took place Monday.
Both told ESPN they regretted the fight, earlier this week, but have continued to trade verbal jabs and argue on several sports talk shows.
Jones appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" Wednesday night and continued to take shots at his opponent, saying Cormier was "nervous" before the staredown which may have contributed to the fight.

Schools Plan 8th Attempt At Levy
BELLAIRE – The Bellaire Local Board of Education took the first step to have a levy placed on the May ballot during its regular meeting Monday.
It will be the eighth attempt by the district to get out of fiscal emergency and the latest attempt to generate new operating funds for the district. Voters in the district have not passed an operating levy in 37 years.
During the meeting, the board approved a resolution of necessity from the county auditor's office for the emergency tax levy. No millage was specified, but the district is looking to generate $698,325 annually from the levy.
In November, the district had placed before voters an additional 5.9-mill levy request for the purpose of providing for the emergency requirements of the school district for five years. The measure was defeated by a vote of 1,154 in favor to 1,349 against. It was the seventh attempt since the 2010 primary election to pass an issue to generate revenue for the financially strapped district.
The district last asked voters in the May 7 primary to pass a larger 8.25-mill levy. It was rejected then by a vote of 1,039-842.
Also rejected by Bellaire voters were an 8.7-mill levy request in November 2012; 1-percent income tax issues in May and November 2011; and 12.9-mill levy requests in May and November 2010.
The board's organizational meeting is scheduled for 5:45 p.m. Jan. 13.

Despite losing four seniors that accounted for 60 wins a year ago, the longtime Newport wrestling coach feels he's got the goods to build on a 2010 season that included a school-record 18 dual-meet wins and the program's first Perry County wrestling championship.
"We've got 35 kids in the room, 16 with varsity experience and competition at just about every weight," says Capozzoli, who is 222-195 in 22 years running the program. "I'm excited. The kids have all made progress, they're working hard and they're ready to wrestle. I think teams (we face) will have to be equally ready to go through our lineup."
Cap's top wrestlers start with an eight-deep senior class that includes Eric Kemble and Skyler Ray, each fourth-year starters with serious credentials, Bryce Mullen, Austin Clegg and Jackson Albert.
Kemble, who won 30 matches last year and has a team-best 68 career wins, will go at 135.
Ray punched out 22 wins as a junior and is the lead Buffalo in a dynamic middleweight crew that will stretch from 140 to 160 and includes Mullen (24 wins), juniors Chris Eisenhart (10) and Kolton Ramp (5), and sophomore Trent Maffei (4).
"That group is going as hard (in practice and the weight room) as they can," Capozzoli said. "They're fun to watch."
On either side of the mids, Capozzoli can array an experienced core.
Zach Huss, a junior who won 12 bouts last year, will go at 119. His classmate Kyle Deimler (19 wins) follows at 125 and Clegg, another 20-match winner, are the bridge that gets the Buffaloes to Kemble. Junior Darren Shoemaker (two wins) is also in that mix.
"Zach really worked hard this summer, Kyle has matured physically and Austin is at a weight he's comfortable with," Capozzoli explained. "I expect big things from them."
The Buffaloes junior class also includes quality experience at the heavier weights.
Ian Clay, who broke into the lineup as a sophomore and picked off 16 wins, starts at 171. Nikoda Smith, who was 6-2 before suffering a season-ending injury, is back healthy and is a sturdy 189-pounder with Albert pushing for a spot as well. Matt Huggins, who won six bouts as a first-year wrestler, is ready to put what he learned a year ago to productive use at 215. Colin Schaeffer, who missed his sophomore season with health issues, and Kevin Frey are contesting the 285-pound, with Schaeffer holding the edge.
"Colin weighs only 190 pounds, but his thing is wrestling at 285," Capozzoli said. "He's athletic, quick and nobody is stronger. He'll make some mistakes, but I guarantee (his opponents) aren't outworking him."
At 103 and 112, the Buffaloes will have to rely on four first-year wrestlers to develop.
Freshman Ben Clay will open at 103 and his classmate Mason Weller is also certified at that weight. Sophomores Josh Deeley and Daniel Altemus are battling for the starting slot at 112.
"Those kids have all gotten better just since the start of practice," Capozzoli insists. "Ben is really coming along. He's the kind of wrestler, if you give him an opportunity, he knows how to take advantage."
The PeCo will give Capozzoli a serious look at what he has. West Perry and Susquenita are similarly loaded with talent.
"I feel good about our potential," Capozzoli says. "Now, I want to see how we compete."

On the other side of the street, yet another pumpkin was creating havoc, chasing a clown and a buccaneer down the sidewalk. Even from where we stood, we could see the pumpkin's glowing eyes, nose, and toothy grin. Its mouth was opening and closing, as if it were trying to take a bite of something. The two kids were yelling and crying out for help.
"The whole neighborhood is being taken over by crazed pumpkins!" Alex shouted.
"We've got to help them!" Cheyenne shouted.
"The pumpkins?!?!" Alex shrieked.
"She means the trick-or-treaters!" I wailed. "Let's go help them!"
We left our treat bags behind and started running up the block. I had no idea what we could do, but Alex had been able to stop the pumpkin by smashing it. Maybe we could try that.
While we ran, my mind spun. How could this be happening? I wondered. Pumpkins aren't alive. Not in the way these pumpkins are.
Regardless, I was sure it had something to do with the mysterious field of free pumpkins. I remembered seeing the figure of the man in the upstairs window, and how he had moved out of sight when he saw me watching him. There was something very, very wrong with the pumpkins, the field . . . everything. Everything about the field now seemed dark and sinister, and I shuddered at the fact that I had actually set foot there.
Ahead of us, there were several pumpkins scooting across yards, chasing trick-or-treaters. Most of the kids were screaming and yelling. One of the new words I learned in school was 'chaotic,' and I thought it was a strange word. It means 'confused, disordered, or unpredictable.' When I learned the word, I didn't think I'd ever use it--until now. The scene that was unfolding before us was just that: chaotic. Totally confused, disordered, and unpredictable. I didn't know what would happen next, and I wasn't sure I wanted to.
Alex ran up to the pumpkin that was still chasing the girl dressed as a ballerina. He leapt into the air and came down on the gourd, and there was a dull, wet, splitting sound as the vegetable broke in two. The candle went out, and the pumpkin was nearly flat. However, it was still moving a little, like it was still alive. Alex stomped on it again, and several pieces broke away.
"It works!" Alex cried. "This is what we have to do!"
Soon, other trick-or-treaters were stomping on the pumpkins that were chasing them. At first, I was reluctant to do it. I've always thought that smashing pumpkins was a bad thing, done by bad kids. Not now, though. I knew that if we didn't stop the pumpkins, they would continue attacking anyone and everyone.
It didn't take us long. Soon, there were nearly a dozen pumpkins smashed and broken, scattered over lawns, driveways, and sidewalks. Most of the trick-or-treaters had run off, screaming in terror. A woman, alerted by all the noise, had appeared in her doorway. When she saw what was going on, she shrieked and slammed the front door closed.
It was almost dark.
I was breathing heavily, and so were Alex and Cheyenne. It had been a lot of work. Sure, there were still a few pumpkins glowing on porches and porch steps, but none of them came after us. As confused as we were, I thought we'd seen the last of the bizarre pumpkins that had somehow come to life.
And that's when we heard a noise.
It came from the shadows between two houses. It sounded like something moving, something large.
A faint glow appeared, illuminating the side of one of the houses, but whatever it was, we couldn't see it.
"It's got to be another one of them," I said. "Come on. Let's get him."
We started walking across the lawn. Suddenly, the pumpkin appeared. But this was no ordinary pumpkin, by far. Most of the pumpkins we'd encountered so far had been big, but not enormous. The pumpkin coming toward us was far, far bigger than any pumpkin I'd ever seen in my life. It was easily as big around as a washtub and as tall as I was. Fire burned behind his eyes, nose, and mouth.
The three of us froze in our tracks.
"Uh, guys," Cheyenne said, "I don't think we should do this."
"No kidding," I said, taking a step back. "Let's go get help."
As is turns out, we wouldn't be getting any help. Before we had a chance to turn and run, the gigantic pumpkin lurched forward, sliding across the grass at lightning speed. This time, the three of us weren't going to be so lucky.

DILLSBURG—The Northern York County School District has already pushed the student calendar six days further into June because of the amount of cancellations due to snow and ice this winter.
And winter's not over, Superintendent Eric Eshbach reminded the school board of directors on Thursday.
Three snow makeup days were included in the calendar for the school year.
So far, seven have been taken.
"It's been a frustrating January and February," Eshbach said.
Graduation is still planned for June 6, but the last school day is currently pushed back to June 10.
It was originally scheduled for June 4.
Eshbach said the district has discussed ways to prevent seniors from having to return to school after graduation. That includes scheduling three Saturday graduation practices that can be counted as school days.
But plans are still tentative, he said, since there is still a month of winter left and the possibility of even more snow days still exists.

One family was displaced after a fire damaged an apartment building in Allentown.
The fire broke out just before 9:00 Wednesday night in the 100 block of Silk Street. The building contains two apartments.
Fire Captain John Christopher says the fire started in the front bedroom of the upstairs apartment. He says the fire was sparked by an electrical problem, and it has been ruled an accident.
No one was hurt, but the fire caused smoke damage to the apartment, and one family was displaced.
The Red Cross is helping the victims, but Capt. Christopher says he thinks they'll be allowed back in their home shortly.

"This shows the ties that are sew under the dress to form the French style bustle. As you can see, your gown would have to be lifted up in order to tie it up."
The French bustle also known as the "European style bustle or the "under bustle" is a favorite among brides.
This style wedding dress bustle sticks out less than the American bustle, because once it is tied, it forms a flap.
How is a French bustle formed? Usually you will see sets of ties made of ribbon or cotton stay tape. Sometimes you will see ties with corresponding loop sets to tie the train up.
Unlike the American bustle, everything is done under the gown instead of outside of it. So to tie the bustle up, the train has to be lifted up above your waist in order to tie it.
Since your train will have to be pulled up for this bustle style, you may want to have your bustle done out of the view of your guest. It may also be best to do this before going into your reception. This way you don't have to excuse yourself from your reception to have your bustle done.
Now let's take a look at different wedding gown styles in various French bustle designs!
This is a 3 point bustle where the points were kept at the same level to make one flap.
This one is a 4 point bustle with two points in the middle that forms two flaps.
Here is another 2 tier bustle.
Here is a short train that was bustled into a three tier European bustle.
Now wedding dresses that have the pickup style skirts can present a challenge to bustle. As a seamstress you want the bustle to work with the design of the dress. Sometimes an American bustle will work for this style. But most of the time the French wedding dress bustle is the best choice for the pick up skirt wedding dress. Take a look at a few.
Here is a French bustle on a pick up skirt wedding dress.
This has a few tufts or pickups in the back of this chapel length train.
This under bustle was created to work with the train details.
Another pick up wedding dress bustle that is in the French style.
Here is pick up skirt wedding gown with a chapel train down before it is bustle.
This is the dress after it is bustled in the French style.
As you can see no" two" bustles look exactly the same. You actually have to design the bustle to work with the gown details while also considering the brides preference. So make sure that whoever does you bustle just doesn't give you some standard look that gets the train up. You want your bustle to not just do its job... to get the train off the floor... but be a beautiful creation!
This wedding dress bustle was designed in a asymmetrical
French style bustle with 3 tiers.
This gown is a "combo" of an under bustle and an over bustle.
The top picture shows the French style bustle with the ties pulled to the side. The bottom picture has the ties pulled over the bustle.
Here is a picture of the under bustle or French style bustle on a wedding dress with a color panel and over flaps
Below are just a few more pictures of wedding dress bustles designed in the french bustle style.
This is one of those multi tiered ruffled wedding dresses in the under bustle french style.
As you can see there are a variety of looks you can get from the french under bustle style. It should be designed to so that it works with the design of your dress.
The wedding dress bustle adds another dimension to the wedding dress design. So make sure your alterations specialist gives you a look that will enhance the style of your dress.
