All right, now you said we needed integration, start it with integration.
Yeah, well, you know, we needed integration, we needed school, we needed, you know, better schools to go to, and I think, if we decided we wanted to go eat here or go eat there, we should, you know, go there, you know. But, in all that, we had, in the Black area here in Liberty City and, and Overtown, we had so many places, we had the hotels, we had restaurants, we had everything that we wanted, it was so used to of us having things that we wanted, so it was no big thing to us, you know, but we wanted to have the privilege of going where you would like to go. But, when that opened up so that we could go to those places and do those things, that just, just faded the Black businesses out, because you couldn't compete with the big Di- ah, Denny's Restaurant, and you couldn't compete with the hotels, the big hotels, the Eden Roc or the Fontainebleau, you know, or what have you. So, this just killed all of our revenge, so all of a sudden, now they say, "OK, we going to make it possible so the Blacks can have this. We going to tear this down and, ah, and build over a little-- " And they tore down things, but nothing had never been built back again. So now if you could look Overtown, or if you go in Liberty City, this is all you see, the places that were torn down, but there's nothing that has been built, you know, for the Black people. Anytime that we have the, the Black Baptist Convention, or we have the Masonics, which have 30,000 delegates or what have you, who gets any of the pie? We can't get in over the side, because we don't have anything to offer. We don't have no hotels, we don't have no restaurants that is, that can seat 300 people, you know, and, so where have the got to go? They go to the Eden Roc, they have to go to the Hilton, they have to go there. They're making all the money over there, and they say, "In our community," you know, but what about the economics over here. We're not getting into that! We can't get in because we don't have anything to offer. So they got to go in this other area which is surg- integrated, and which is good, we're glad, but look what it did to us over in this area, we don't get none of the pie.
I gotcha. We got roll out. That's good. I got it all. We got it all

Copeland and Walsh came through strongly in the second half of the race to overtake the Netherlands to win in 6 min 59.12 sec.
"It wasn't really a battle with the Netherlands. We wanted to relax at that point and let our skill pull us through," Copeland said. "I'm glad it is over, I was

BATON ROUGE -- The Federal Emergency Management Agency's top administrator in Louisiana pledged a change Wednesday in the way the federal agency does its hurricane recovery work in the state.
Tony Russell, acting director of FEMA's Louisiana recovery office, said he wants a full collaboration between federal and state officials. Russell took the job six weeks ago as the Obama administration reworks recovery efforts in the state.
"We're never going to be an adversary. Now, I'm not going to say we're always going to agree on everything, but ... any hint of my staff or myself being an adversary will not be tolerated. That's in the past," Russell told the board of the Louisiana Recovery Authority, the state's top hurricane recovery agency.
Paul Rainwater, executive director of the LRA, said he's encouraged by the new tone.
FEMA has regularly clashed with state and local officials over recovery efforts since hurricanes Katrina and Rita ravaged Louisiana in 2005. State and local officials have complained about what they see as a lack of transparency in FEMA's funding decisions and an undervaluing of project costs.

Lord knows, I don't understand all the ins and outs of the fishery. Even to those on the inside, the industry is a welter of confusing regulations that have done everything from creating unwieldly,
wide and uncomfortable vessels (designed to fit static vessel length requirements) to making a new kind of fish merchant system, where fishermen borrow from processors to buy boats and in return, pledge their catches for years into the future.
As a business model, it's somewhat bizarre, and every single year, there's some form of crisis.
This year, it's been the non-final final price order on crab.
In the latest battle over crab, the Standing Fish Price Setting Panel, set up after a review of a particularly fractious year of disputes between the processors and the fisheries union, did the thing that it was supposed to do.
When the processors and the union didn't reach a price agreement, the panel set a price.
The panel — which can pick either the submission from processors or the submission from the fisheries union, but can't alter the winning submission — chose the processors' $1.83 a pound for crab instead of the FFAW's $2 a pound. The union asked the panel to reconsider; it refused, saying the conditions for reconsideration hadn't been met.
After that, many of the fishermen tied up — some actually destroyed thousands of pounds of crab at one plant — and the fuss continued until a "compromise" was reached over the weekend, giving union members the price they'd asked for in the first place, $2, at least until May 5.
Now, certainly no one can force fishermen to go to sea to fish if catching a species will actually lose them money.
Likewise, no one should be able to force a processor to process a species if paying fishermen an established price will actually lose them money.
But why have a final arbitration system where the final arbitration isn't final at all?
In 2011, the shoe was on the other foot when buyers didn't like the price set for lobster, and refused to buy.
Also in 2011, a price was set for shrimp, but fishermen refused to fish at the set price and tied up.
In 2010, processors didn't like the price of crab, which was set at $1.35 a pound — they held out for a month, refusing to buy, and then capitulated.
Now, the Standing Fish Price Setting Panel was set up to solve this problem, and, in many fisheries, comes up with a final price that's workable for everyone.
But every single year since the latest changes to its enabling legislation in 2010, there seems to be at least one final decision that isn't final at all.
There are regular tie-ups, and not-so-infrequent violence.
It isn't any way to run a professional fishery.
There is one hopeful factor in
the latest sideline arrangement between processors and the union, though.
The deal lets the often-lucrative fishery get started, and it also puts in place another effort — to find a way to set more flexible prices that are actually tied to market conditions.
The new co-operative method would allow retroactive adjustments to the price for crab should market conditions change, but whether that's a two-way street — whether prices could both increase or decrease depending on what happens during a season — has yet to be determined.
It doesn't seem likely that the union would be very pleased with a system that could see cash-strapped processors asking for money back from fishermen, or decreased payments, should the price fall.
The price setting panel was supposed to be the final arbiter. It has worked in many fisheries, especially the smaller ones, but every single year it seems there's nothing final about the final deal.
Something has to change.
Neither fishermen nor processors benefit from seasons left in limbo.

When I see Chien-Ming Wang perform the way he did against Boston last night, it makes me wonder how he could have been so horrific against Cleveland in the playoffs last season.
It just doesn't make any sense.
But that was then. This is now. And right now, Wang is 3-0 after two-hitting the Bosox on 93 pitches at Fenway last night. In 22 innings this season, the 6-foot-5 right-hander has a 1.23 ERA.
Despite struggling at Fenway in the past ... not to mention arriving at Boston at 4:30 Friday morning after turning down the Yankees offer to fly to Beantown a day earlier ... he was brilliant. He entered the ninth inning with a one-hitter, but it very well could have been a no-hitter if right-fielder Bobby Abreu didn't misplay J.D. Drew's fly ball in front of the Bosox bullpen. The ball glanced off the top of Abreu's glove and over the fence.
Wang, by the way, is the first Yankee starter to win his first three decisions of the season since that bum Kevin Brown did it in the 2004 season (but that doesn't really count anyway, since Brown's three wins were against the hapless Devil Rays).
Here's the bottom line, and I've said the same thing about Andy Pettitte: If the Yankees are going to have a chance to get into the playoffs, Wang is more often than not going to have to perform well.
Last night was a good example of what he can do when he's on top of his game. All this nonsense about his Spring training outings, how he was getting hit hard, etc., etc., etc., it's all hogwash. He might have been working on a particular pitch or something in Tampa.
Who knows. I'd love to see his string of solid outing continue next week in Tampa.
In addition, remember, pitching a complete-game not only gives him a lot more confidence (I hope anyway), but also gives our two big guns (Joba and Mariano) a well-derserved day off. If Mussina can get us a lead going into the seventh inning, we might be golden today.
As for our offense last night, the only thing I'll say now about our make-shift lineup is thank God Jason Giambi found a way to contribute. His homer broke a 1-1 tie in the seventh.
Now we need to get Robinson Cano going.
Either way, remember, in a perfect world, we'd all be Yankees.

GARFIELD — Malik Williams' family and their supporters will march in Garfield once again on Saturday as they struggle to bring their concerns over his death to a wider audience.
The 19-year-old Garfield man was shot and killed in a confrontation with police back in December, and demonstrators have been gathering in the city to call attention to the case, which will be heard by a grand jury later this year.
Miguel Reyes, one of the organizers of the protests, told NJ.com Friday that demonstrators have been making their case at the series of protests over the killing of Florida teen Trayvon Martin around North Jersey.
"It clearly shows that the whole pressure from the public actually impacted the outcome of how things are developing in Sanford," Reyes said. "I believe that we've done it here as well, but not at that magnitude. But we hope to do it in the future."
He said they've been speaking with community activists in Hackensack and Passaic, and hope to build awareness of the case outside of the state.
Williams was killed in a confrontation with police after fleeing the Garfield police station where he was being booked on domestic assault charges in December. Supporters have said he was wrongfully killed, and his family plans to file suit against the city.
City officials, meanwhile, are reaching out to build relationships between police and city youth with the help of local clergy, The Record reported recently.
"I don't want to see this one incident tear apart this town," Mayor Frank Calandriello told The Record. "This is our community."
Demonstrators will march at Dahnert's Lake County Park, near the city's police station, starting at 3 p.m. on Saturday. From there, as they have in the numerous protests over several months, they'll march to the site of Williams' death at the end of Dahnert Park Lane.

ESCANABA - The top-seeded Jackson Northwest Minor Girls' (age 9-10) Little League All-Stars moved into the semifinals of the state softball tournament, blanking No. 9 Tecumseh 4-0 in a quarterfinal game Tuesday at Lemerand Park.
Bailey Cooper led the way for Jackson Northwest, pitching six innings and racking up 12 strikeouts while finishing with a no-hitter.
"Our pitchers are putting us in a position to win," said Jackson Northwest coach Bambi Cooper. "We're not allowing hits. They're playing tough and doing the best they can do. We're trying to hit the ball and put it in play and make them make mistakes."
Madison Neitzke went 3-for-4 and Aaliyah Miller went 2-for-3 for Jackson Northwest, and they finished the game with nine total hits.
No. 2 Grandville 7, No. 7 St. Clair 1
Grandville clung to a 2-1 lead heading into the fourth inning, but their offense exploded for five runs over the next two innings while their defense allowed little breathing room, which allowed them to secure the 7-1 victory.
"They played awesome," said Grandville coach Heidi Hardin. "They gave if their all and worked as a team. We had ups and downs, but we played through that. They're making cotact and doing what I ask, and that's huge."
Two runs scored in the fourth inning after a passed ball missed the catcher then the throw back to the pitcher at home plate was too high. In the fifth, Amber Mastbergen and Brooklyn Verbeek both hit RBI singles to extend the lead.
Sami Slager took the win on the mound for Grandville, pitching two innings and striking out one while allowing just one run. Jamie VanderMeer finished out the final four innings, earning six strikeouts.
Maddy Ungrey had two hits and VanderMeer also added one hit. Grandville had eight hits in the contest.
No. 4 Hillman 8, No. 5 Cheboygan 5
Hillman scored six times in the fifth inning and added a run in the sixth to rally past Cheboygan.
Bailey Schook had two hits for Hillman, which trailed 4-1 after 4 1/2 frames.
Hillman had just three hits, but took advantage of 17 walks in the contest. The winners were issued six free passes in the fifth.
Myra White had a pair of hits for Cheboygan.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Part three of my four-part Restaurant Week feature asked for suggestions on which restaurant delivered the best presentation. The Beauty and the Bowl award this year goes to Bistro Bella Vita.
Readers used words like "exquisite" and "gorgeous" when nominating the restaurant and I had a sneak peek with the winners of my Farm to Fork Tour.
Bistro Bella Vita's head chef Aaron Van Timmeren makes local sustainability look lovely. All of the dishes you see below are made with ingredients from local farms and purveyors. The chef has added a fourth course to the menu.
Amuse - Point Reyes Blue Cheese
A wedge of blue cheese with grape tomato, prosciutto "bits," celery leaf, chilled corn bisque, and truffle oil. The plating highlights the cheese as the star but those bits of crunchy prosciutto and juicy tomatoes might just be scene stealers in your mouth.
First Course – Farm Panzanella
Baby beets, kohlrabi, peaches, VPF treviso, peanuts, fresh mozzarella, brioche croutons, cider-balsamic vinaigrette. This kaleidoscope of colors, textures, and flavors is a good example of how a chef can take ingredients a home cook might not think to serve together to create intriguing flavor.
Second Course – Sockeye Salmon Two Ways
Salmon filet, smoked belly hash, bacon fat farm potatoes, rock shrimp, chard, cherry tomato, fennel-brown butter béarnaise. You may have had salmon many times before but chances are it never looked (or tasted) this good. Beautiful plating.
Peach and Berry Crostata
Peach and berry crostata, red wine caramel, slivered almonds, Palazzolo's vanilla gelato. My iPhonetography doesn't do it justice. It looks grand and it tastes like Grandma's – taken to the next level. It's too bad the plate was so big or I'd have lifted it up and licked it clean.
There is only one more place to visit but it's up to you. Which Restaurant Week participant is serving up the most delicious or unique dessert? It's time to Bring on the Bananas Foster (or whatever they have on the menu) with the finale of this four-part feature. Place your suggestions in the comments section below or you can email me directly.

Coach Jim's long run for this weekend is on Saturday, January 17th.
The group will meet at Willamette Park near the boat ramp for an 8a start. There will a group leader for those running 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 miles. If you need to do more, you can of course but won't have a pacer.
Here's Jim's annoucement:
This week we will be visiting Willamette Park for our group run that will be led for 16 miles. The route will take us from the boat ramp (at the potties) and up to and along the Sellwood Bridge, into Eastmoreland and down to the Springwater Corridor up to about Foster Road and return.
So as usual, one can do any mileage. I just like to point out that I know we will have runners going 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16. We may have others, like last week, that need to go 18 or 20. This route will accommodate that but they will do this without the benefit of a pacer. I highly recommend that you run your extra miles before or after as you lose a lot of the benefits of running with the group once you separate.
Ryan has taken up the slack left by my recent battle with injuries and I expect that he will lead the 4:30 group to 16. I am hoping that we can split up into two or three pace groups depending on who shows up, but everyone is welcome.
To the best of my knowledge, there are potties at the start, at Starbucks around mile 2.5, and on the Trail about 4.5 miles. So coming back there will be a long stretch between the stop at 4.5m and the same place on the return at 11.5 miles.
Here is a map to Willamette Park.
The weather at this point looks like 35 to 55 degrees and sunny so remember to dress in layers, bring hydration and nutrition, and plan on needing sunglasses. (Yup, I am optimistic.)
Please join us for a post-run debrief at Starbucks on Macadam and Iowa Street around the corner from our starting point.
As usual, please let me know if you can make it by sending me an email.

Sheriff's office in search of alleged rape suspect
Kitsap County Sheriff's detectives and deputies are searching for the man suspected of raping a 41-year-old Chico woman Monday afternoon.
As of press time Monday evening, the suspect had not been located. Deputies responded to the woman's home just after 12:30 p.m. following a 911 call of a forcible rape. The woman reported she was home alone when the man entered her residence, in the 2100 block of Chico Way NW, through an unlocked door and assaulted her. The woman was transported by Central Kitsap Fire & Rescue to Harrison Medical Center Bremerton, for evaluation and treatment.
The suspect had not been identified as of press time. The woman described her attacker as a male, unknown race or age; between about 5 feet 10 inches - 6 feet tall, medium build, wearing a flannel shirt and blue jeans. The victim reported that her assailant had a pot belly and that he was armed with a handgun. Facts about the direction of travel of the suspect, after leaving the victims residence, or a vehicle description, are not yet known.
Patrol deputies, assisted by officers from the Bremerton Police Department and troopers from the Washington State Patrol, set containment in the general area of the victims residence while a K-9 track was initiated. The track was inconclusive.
Sheriffs detectives continue with their investigation, interviewing neighbors and examining the scene of the attack for evidence.
Persons with information about this crime are asked to contact Detective Mike Rodrigue at (360) 337- 4479. Those who wish to remain anonymous may contact Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound at 1-800-CRIME-13.

The latest business news, reviews, features and whitepapers
FIFA Soccer 10 is surefire winner all around. Fans of sports games definitely have to buy it, even if they don't have a strong interest in soccer--it's just that good.
There's a senseless yet subconscious question we ask ourselves when we experience a video game that's incredibly realistic and enjoyable; we can't help but think, "How can this get any better?" I first asked myself this after experiencing the perfection of MLB 09: The Show, and now I'm asking myself the same question after experiencing FIFA Soccer 10.
And even though I don't need the vindication, it's nice to know that the world seems to agree with me. Within its first week of release, FIFA Soccer 10 sold 1.7 million copies in Europe, making it the fastest-selling sports game and EA's biggest European launch. That right there should give you a basic illustration of this iteration's excellence.
FIFA Soccer 10 seems so real that it nearly blew my mind. The game builds on last year's instalment to a great extent with new AI, physics, modes and features. The presentation and structure is nearly identical to that of 09's--not a bad thing at all--but FIFA 10 does an admirable job of retaining what works while adding subtle improvements that make an existing product even better. To that end, the control scheme is far more fluid and it allows players to orchestrate their team's movements in an intuitive and satisfying fashion.
But what makes the FIFA series so great is the actual sport itself: there are theories that the reason why soccer is so universally popular is that it is, at least on the surface, such a simple sport. Everyone knows how to run and kick a ball, after all
And that sense of accessibility and familiarity translates well over to the FIFA 10 experience. It's an incredibly easy game to pick up and play, from the game's single-player modes to its exemplary multiplayer. After inviting my friends over, a 2 minute primer was all it took for my soon-to-be teammates to get a grasp of the controls. Within a few tackles and yellow cards, my friends were acclimated and invested in the action. NOTE: The feature that amplified everyone's skill was the X (+ turbo) technique on defence (the coolest thing according to them). With all new AI, 360 dribbling, physics, innovative options and the traditional elements of previous FIFA instalments, the game becomes more casual while still possessing enough realism to also work as a hardcore sports title. That's a perfect mix in my book.
I don't think I've ever been wrapped up in a sports game quite like FIFA 10. While it's fun as a party game, the game also has a great sense of realism that's delivered in a number of novel ways. For instance, do you prefer to orchestrate your team through a generated season, or online against friends? Do you prefer to control a team or play as a customised character and work together with other users? Then there's the question of how deep into simulation and customisation you want to go. There's plenty of modes and options for you to customise, giving you a great sense of content and value.
To illustrate, let me tell you how I play the game. I primarily play exhibition against my buddy (who's a high school soccer coach/expert), Manager Mode, and Pro Club. I customise my corner kicks, formation (and most options therein), tactics and attacks. That's just my approach; here's how my buddy, the soccer coach, plays: He customises his free kicks, runs man-to-man coverage and controls the offensive/defensive direction; he was also totally blown away by the Live 2.0 option. Since he follows soccer like the rest of us follow football, he can combine his score tracking with his video gaming habits. I could go on and on about the various experiences within FIFA 10, but that would take some time, and I have some drills to practice.
Needless to say, FIFA 10 is superb. The more I type of this review, the more I wish I was playing it right now. I feel pretty confident in saying that it is the most enjoyable sports game I've ever played. It has the depth that diehard and sim fans require while also offering up the option for a simplistic experience that casual fans can enjoy, and with a ton of new goodies, FIFA Soccer 10 is surefire winner all around. Fans of sports games definitely have to buy it, even if they don't have a strong interest in soccer--it's just that good.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Coroner confirms Davy Jones died of heart attack
Submitted by Kiran Pahwa on Fri, 03/02/2012 - 08:44
Washington, Mar 2 : An autopsy has confirmed that `The Monkees' star Davy Jones died due to heart attack.
The medical examiner's office in Martin County, said that the authorities had completed their examination on Thursday morning, a day after Jones was rushed to the hospital, Fox News reported.
Although, toxicology tests could take another six or eight weeks, but there are no signs to suggest that anything else is to be blamed for the 66-year-old heartthrob's death.
Jones rocketed to stardom in the 1960s as a member of `The Monkees', a made-for-TV rock band patterned after the Beatles.
Though their television show lasted for just two years and the group ultimately broke up, they have endured with chart-topping hits such as `I'm a Believer' and `Daydream Believer.' (ANI)

Carrier Air Filtration Systems
Carrier has long been recognized as a leading manufacturer of HVAC systems. To complement its line of different home heating and air conditioning solutions, Carrier produces air filtration systems for both residential and commercial use. Call Baker & Sons Air Conditioning, Inc if you live in the Greater Sarasota and Bradenton, FL area and you're interested in a Carrier air filtration system.
What to Look for in an Air Filtration System
Air filtration is another way to say air purification. What matters most is the Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) when comparing air filtration/purification systems. A rating of 16 is the highest efficiency available, 1 the lowest. When the rating is 16 almost everything larger 0.01 microns is removed. Microscopic particles such as bacteria, pollen, animal dander and other pollutants which cannot be seen by the naked eye are removed from the air.
A filter with a MERV 8 rating is considered a low efficiency filter. MERV 13 filters are rated as medium efficiency and MERV 15 as high efficiency filters. MERV 13 filters are effective for most commercial and institutional applications. Anything lower results in the development of a "sick" building.
Importance of Air Filtration Systems
There are multiple reasons for wanting to remove particulates from the air in your home or commercial building. Health is only one of them. Preventing wear and tear on equipment is another.
Almost every home and office today depends on computers. Dust in the air fouls PC and Mac processor heat sinks, cooling fans, etc. Overheating and a premature equipment failure is a common side effect.
Carrier Air Filtration
Carrier has developed two air purifications systems for home installation. The Infinity Air Purifier "doesn't just filter air, it captures and kills airborne pathogens such as bacteria, viruses and mold" according to the manufacturer. It is designed to re-purify the air up to eight times per hour.
The Infinity Air Purifier works by ionizing the air as it enters the purifier. The filter is designed of a media that carries a charge that attracts the ionized particles in the air. Then any viruses, bacteria, mold spores or other allergens are destroyed.
Carrier also sells the Performance EZ Flex Cabinet Air Filter. This air filtration system works with both heating and cooling systems. It comes initially with MERV 10 filters, which can be upgraded to MERV 13 filters. The MERV 10 filters trap most bacterial, pollen, plant spores, smoke, animal dander, lint and dust, but does allow some viruses through. The advantage of this air filtration option is the fact that it doesn't restrict air flow.
Carrier also produces a line of air purifiers known as the PerformanceTM Series. The EAC (Electronic Air Filtration) System uses the same amount of electricity as a 40-watt light bulb to deliver air filtration to the entire home.
Performance series EAC units work by first filtering the air that comes in through the return duct. Then the air passes through a series of ionizing wires. Collecting plates with positive and negative charges then attract the ionized particles. The air that then flows into the house is clean. UVC light is available on some units to guarantee the elimination of all micro-organisms.
Carrier provides commercial air quality products as well. It's line of AERO® Air Handlers can meet the needs of buildings from 400 to 60,500 CFM. Installations include either indoor or outdoor designs.
Baker & Sons Air Conditioning, Inc has years of experience working with Carrier HVAC systems. Whether you need to add air filtration to your existing Carrier HVAC system, or are considering a new system entirely, we'll help you identify the best solution for your home or office. We have been helping maintain the healthy air quality of Sarasota, Manatee & Charlotte County homes and businesses for over 23 years.

The Lewiston Tribune reports flames shot 100-feet into the air after the explosion at 1:35 p.m. Monday. The newspaper and several nearby businesses were evacuated while firefighters battled the blaze.
Dale Albright of M.L. Albright & Sons Inc. construction was operating the excavator during work to install new storm equipment when the bucket struck the Avista Utilities gas line. The pressure of the escaping gas shattered the excavator's windshield and destroyed the machine, Lewiston Fire Department Battalion Chief Travis Myklebust told the Tribune.
Albright rolled his ankle when jumping from the vehicle but was able to escape to safety before the gas caught fire, said his father, Marvin Albright.
It appears the explosion was the result of confusion over the shape of the gas line underground, officials said.
Workers knew the line's location and dug two holes above the line to make sure they could dig to a certain depth without hitting it, Marvin Albright said.
However, in the area between the two holes, the gas line apparently was at a shallower depth.
"Everybody thought we were OK," he said. "We didn't expect that one to be where it was."
Lewiston Community Development Director Laura Von Tersch said utilities are put in the ground at different times and at different depths, making it difficult to predict exactly where they are. The quality of mapping also is a factor.
"You're completely reliant on the work of another," she said.
spokesman Mike Tatko said three natural gas lines that serve the area
were shut off within 20 minutes of the explosion. The fire was out about
20 minutes later.

Online privacy concerns have generated a lot of buzz in the media lately. Tracking cookies, privacy abuses on Facebook and Pinterest, location-based services that give away more than web users would like to share with their peers – all have made headlines and raised the issue of stricter online privacy regulation.
Now, another online phenomenon seems to be subject to online privacy abuse: World of Warcraft, one of the most – if not the most – popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), with more than 9 million subscribers.
Are you a World of Warcraft fan? Can't wait to get home and play? Or do you have a kid that would happily give up a day at Disneyland just to play WoW…
What you need to know about WoW privacy
It was discovered that the screenshots a player takes with WoW's internal screenshot tool are automatically watermarked, and the watermark reports the account ID, a timestamp and the IP address of the current WoW realm. It is only natural that a game developer knows a player's behavior within the game, but the existence of this watermark highlights the fact that users are trackable even outside the game, and without their knowledge or consent.
According to a Ownedcore forum post published earlier this month, the data in the watermark can be easily decrypted by malicious hackers. They could use it to identify which user account holds which characters, stalk users, devise targeted phishing scams or even sell it to specialized phishers.
What you need to do
Knowledge is power. Now that you know what you're exposed to while playing WoW, you may want to delete all your JPG WoW screenshots from any site you've posted them on. Also, in the future, you may want to create screenshots with an external tool. If you still want to use the WoW internal screenshot tool, change the screenshot quality level to 10 to avoid the watermarking.
If your children are the WoW fans and you want to keep them protected from such threats, talk to them about the game, develop a better understanding of the rules together and install extensive parental controls, as an extra security measure. BullGuard's comes with extensive parental controls, as well as antiphishing, among several other security features.

BY JAN MURPHY AND DAN MILLER, The Patriot-News
Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell drew the wrath of state government workers last summer by withholding paychecks during the budget impasse, but he might have warmed his way back into their hearts on Wednesday.
By closing state government offices across the state because of the wintry conditions, he allowed 50,000 so-called "nonessential" employees to take a paid day off.
Other midstate workers did not enjoy the same treatment.
Calls to several public- and private-sector employers found that some forced employees to burn a vacation or leave day if they didn't show up. Many hourly employees didn't get paid at all.
Rendell administration officials said a management directive requires employees to be paid if a state office is closed, as was the case at all five state office buildings on Wednesday. Additionally, state employees who work in the Capitol Complex got a two-hour delayed opening on Thursday.
"When employees are unable to come to work as a public safety issue, then it's appropriate that they not lose a day's pay for that," said Rendell press secretary Gary Tuma.
Tuma was unable to provide the cost to taxpayers of giving the paid day off to about 60 percent of the state's work force, who are in positions deemed not essential to the public health and safety. But the bill likely was around $8.3 million, based on salary data in the 2009 Governor's Annual Work Force Report.
That drew the ire of Matt Brouillette, president of the conservative-leaning Commonwealth Foundation in Harrisburg.
"Decisions like this, to pay people for not working, is just one example of why Pennsylvania runs budget deficits while having one of the highest tax burdens in the nation," Brouillette said. "Is there any wonder why citizens don't trust government to spend their money wisely?"
Weather-related closures of state offices are uncommon.
The last time was on Feb. 14, 2007, when snow prompted the closing of the state offices in Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, Scranton and Reading and a two-hour delay in opening offices in Philadelphia, Rendell administration officials said.
Telling employees not to come to work is not only for their safety, but also to deal with broader public safety concerns, Tuma said.
"Harrisburg had tremendous challenges, like other parts of the state had, to try to clear snow and people trying to get equipment through the street," Tuma said. "You don't want emergency responders running all over the place pulling people out of ditches or cleaning up after accidents because people slid on the ice."
Dauphin County commissioners handled the matter differently. They put in place a liberal leave policy for nonessential workers, meaning any employee who didn't have to be in, or who couldn't get in, could take a vacation or sick day, county spokeswoman Amy Richards said.
Capital Blue Cross decided Tuesday night that it would close Wednesday. Since it was the company's decision to shut down, its 2,000 employees got a paid day off, said Kieran Hull, director of human resources.
Spokesman Terry Maenza said Pennsylvania American Water treatment plant workers are expected to get to a plant no matter what the weather. If they can't get there, leave days must be used.
Three Mile Island nuclear plant makes sure workers get there. Spokesman Ralph DeSantis said the plant sent its snow removal contractor to pick up some workers on Wednesday.

As much as the Advance would like to think of itself as a righteous and credible newspaper, it really betrays itself when it comes to the gun issue.
You can always depend on calls for new laws and attacks on the National Rifle Association, but somehow, there are never any calls for enforcing the laws on the books.
Between federal and state laws, criminals can get everything from years in prison to the death penalty. They rarely do; liberals don't like punishing, except perhaps the victims or whistle-blower.
How often do you hear about "plea-bargaining?" When was the last time a celebrity went to jail? God forbid that one of us is constantly late to court.
So Advance, what's the point of calling for new laws if you're not going to enforce them?

Mackie Shilstone -- local TV personality, supplement-shop owner and fitness trainer and motivator to the stars -- appeared on Thursday's episode of "Live with Regis and Kelly" to whip co-host and celebrity cardiac patient Regis Philbin into shape.
The morning show this week is featuring a heart-healthy segment, just in time for the return of Philbin, who recently underwent cardiac surgery earlier this year. Shilstone took the hosts into a sample of the circuit training session he uses on elite boxers, but tailored the workout to something viewers could do at home.
"See? You take the labels off cans, and you have a nice grip here," said Shilstone, who had Philbin and Ripa doing bicep curls and boxing maneuvers with canned goods. He also had them work their lower body by doing lunges behind their chairs.
After the show, Mackie said he stretched out both Kelly and producer Michael Gelman, who invited the New Orleans fitness guru onto the show after reading Mackie's latest book, "Lean and Hard."
"Then I worked on Regis for 45 minutes," Shilstone said.
The hosts have invited Shilstone to be their guest when the show comes to New Orleans May 23 for four days of tapings.
"They want me to take them out in New Orleans and give them a workout," Shilstone said.
Eventually, Shilstone hopes to be able to return the favor by having Philbin on his show. He recently completed shooting the pilot episode for a prospective new TV series titled "Mackie: Are You Ready?"
The show was taped at several locations around town and co-starred Shilstone client, actor and local resident John Goodman. The production company behind "American Chopper" is backing "Are You Ready?"
"They wanted to develop a good show, a show about positive change going on in people's lives," Shilstone said. "It's a show about motivation, a show about people reclaiming the passion in their life."

The noise underground has been flirting with techno more than ever recently. RA's Justin Farrar introduces some of the essential acts.
Even more intriguing is the revelation that an increasing number of his fellow noise musicians are also taking a keen interest in the manipulation of techno, house and other electronic dance music templates. Like him, they've wandered the outer limits of sound and are now applying the data they've accumulated about texture, timbre, rhythm and form to the production of beats. Many of these artists—Diamond Catalog, Frak, Unicorn Hard-On and Laser Poodle, to name just a few—appear on Fake Sound Routine. This is an ongoing series of cassette compilations Schofield puts out on his I Just Live Here label. Each volume is awfully limited, yet they're a great way to acclimate oneself to these musicians' collective aesthetic: considerably lo-fi, quite often punkish and irreverent, rooted in analog hardware and 110% eccentric. Not surprisingly, these folks tend to operate well outside house and techno's respective (but often overlapping) communities.
Though Schofield acknowledges something is afoot, he refuses to hitch it to the word "trend" (much less its obnoxious little brother "microtrend"). There are two good reasons for this. The first concerns the anarchic streak coursing through modern noise. "Folks who play 'noise' do so because there are no rules, requirements or expectations to always be a certain way," explains Leslie Keffer, a longtime purveyor of noise who began creating technoid weirdness a couple years back. "They will always explore and interpret all genres. It's what makes them and the genre unique." Indeed, curiosity refreshes itself at an accelerated clip for Keffer and her peers. Today, it's techno and house, but six months from now these voracious creatures could very well be mangling an entirely different style of music.
The second reason revolves around the fact that working with beats isn't necessarily a novel idea, something Schofield is quick to point out. While the current "scene" has witnessed an exciting uptick in the number of newfangled producers, a short list of unsung innovators going back a decade can be compiled. Additionally, there's the larger historical evolution of noise to think about; the music's industrial ancestors (Throbbing Gristle, SPK, Einstürzende Neubauten, Cabaret Voltaire) were as interested in beats as they were freeform drone and other arrhythmic tactics. Thus, organizing sound around groove is not an emergent trait but rather an old chromosome lurking inside noise's double helix. Sometimes it's dormant, other times wildly active.
This is where this feature comes into play. It's an introduction to a handful of the key producers belonging to the something of which Schofield speaks. The list below is by no means exhaustive, yet I believe it's a worthy front door through which the inquisitive are welcome to enter.
Unicorn Hard-On
Persian Cats
(Hot Releases / More Records)
(Hot Releases / More Records)
Since 2004-'05 Martino has recorded cassettes and CD-Rs for myriad labels, the most recent of which appear on her own Tangled Hares. Late last year Hot Releases and More Records co-released a Unicorn Hard-On/Container split 12-inch. Martino's contributions, "Persian Cats" and the wondrously bizarre "Wildfire Girls," just might be her best tracks yet. Looking to the future, she's due to unload an album on Spectrum Spools—details forthcoming.
Choosing Format
(Upcoming Digitalis)
(Upcoming Digitalis)
Frak's prolificacy feels pathological. They've dropped too many tapes, albums and singles to count. Among the outfit's older releases the Old Traka-Traka Party 12-inch and Hard Friends LP are representative of their perverse style. In a nice display of cross-generational teamwork, Frak is about to release a full-length, Muzika Electronic, on the essential Tulsa imprint Digitalis sometime before spring arrives.
Diamond Catalog
Slith'd On
(NNA Tapes)
(NNA Tapes)
In addition to the album, NNA Tapes recently put out Magnified Palette Remixes. The cassette, not unlike the Fake Sound Routine series, features a who's who of noise and drone musicians getting their groove on, so to speak. Conchita and Maherr are also involved in several other relevant projects, including Expressway Yo-Yo Dieting, Untrance, Lyrels and Indignant Senility.
Into the Ground
In January 100% Silk's parent label Not Not Fun released the follow-up to Confectioner Beats. Titled Mother Rhythm Earth Memory, the LP finds O'Keefe employing intensely processed vocals and gnarled ideas imported from electro-soul. These qualities draw Cuticle closer to label mates LA Vampires, Xander Harris and Sex Worker. That said, the tracks still exude a passion for maximalist rupture and "hijacked jumpcut," qualities that are well removed from the gooey psychedelia most 100% Silk and Not Not Fun records come slathered in. After all, O'Keefe used to dig grindcore.
No Fun Acid
No Fun Acid 6
Giffoni's No Fun Acid has been active for about three years now, with numerous titles already under his belt. The next release of note is the Evidence 12-inch, a joint venture from Mexican Summer and Joel Ford and Daniel Lopatin's Software imprint that will arrive not long after this piece is published. On it the producer intensifies his adventurousness with the addition of vocals, pop song structures and piano and keyboards courtesy of Laurel Halo.
800 Lies
(Load Records / SNSE)
(Load Records / SNSE)
Karty took a few years off from producing, but luckily for us, she has reactivated VIKI under the slightly altered alias VIKTORIA. As for older material, the self-titled rarities compilation on Beauvais' Animal Disguise Recordings is essential. The label is also due to release a full-length, Escape from Detroit. Besides their solo projects, Karty and Beauvais collaborate under the name Midlife Vacation.
Leslie Keffer
Finally, Caves! (Joy Dance)
One of the first records in Keffer's sprawling discography to fully document her new sound is the Give It Up 12-inch, released on Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace! label in 2010. Even then her love of melody, velvety vocal flourishes and richly layered electro-acoustics is evident. Currently, she is busy working on a second platter titled Finally, Caves! Also coming down the pipe is a full-length cassette for No Kings.
Clinking Necklace
So far Donadio has released two titles, Prostitutes and Prostitutes II, both on his own stabUdown imprint. Weaving a consistently woozy vibe, the producer demonstrates an uncanny ability to blend the grainier strands of minimal techno to neo-Chrome dance rock. Donadio is currently working on a third tentatively titled Hot LZ.
Laser Poodle
Portland A1
Laser Poodle have released three cassettes to date: Coyote, 40 Watts and Lupus. The first two are out of print, sadly, but the third was just put out by D'Artagnan Records, an avant-everything label based in Denmark. Mikkelsen and Kauth have plans to drop a full-length some time in 2012. In the meantime, try to catch their live show. For a couple of dudes standing over a table full of wires and gear, they are awfully magnetic and exciting.
Can't get enough? Here are some more artists we think are well worth checking into: Dariius, Mammal/Midlife Vacation, Lazy Magnet, Max Cloud, Innercity, Danse Asshole, Pete Swanson, Mat Brinkman/Meerk Puffy/Ton B/ZZ Pot, Extreme Animals, Magas, Pleasurehorse, Vatican Shadow/Christian Cosmos, Sinking Body, The Three Legged Race

A man who moved to Murfreesboro called police after being scammed out of $3,100.
The victim told police that he found a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado on CraigsList that he wanted to buy. The subject evidently put the money to buy the truck on GreenDot cards and then moved forward with the transaction by sending the card numbers to an email address labeled "eBay Motors."
The victim thought the truck would arrive on June 27, but it never came. After waiting one more day, the truck still failed to show up. The victim then called eBay and an operator told him that he was scammed.
Murfreesboro Police were called to investigate. At this point, it is not known who posted the truck ad on CraigsList, nor is it known who used an email account claiming to be with eBay.

It may seem like a new fad, but folks have been cooking with flowers since the Roman times. It is a luxury that has been indulged in from the Chinese and India, to the Middle East and even more so, the Victorians of Queen Victoria's reign (makes sense, right?)
A floral garnish adds the most subtle elegance to a special meal. It should be kept simple - which I love - as to enjoy the unique flavors a flower can bring to a dish. So the next time you find yourself entertaining, grab a few pansies from the front and wow your guests with a beautifully vibrant plate and deliciously unique meal!
Tuberous Begonias {Begonia X tuberosa} :: citrus-sour.
The petals are used in salads and as a garnish. The flowers and stems contain oxalic acid and should not be consumed by individuals suffering from gout, kidney stones, or rheumatism.
Marigolds {Calendula officinalis} :: spicy to bitter, tangy to peppery.
Their sharp taste resembles saffron (also known as Poor Man's Saffron). Sprinkle them on soups, pasta or rice dishes, herb butters, and salads.
Carnations {Dianthus} :: surprisingly sweet petals, bitter white base of the flower.
Steeped in wine or candy, use for cake decoration. Carnation petals are one of secret ingredients that has been used to make Chartreuse, a French liqueur, since the 17th century.
Dianthus {Dianthus} :: light clove-like or nutmeg scent.
Chrysanthemums {Chrysanthemum coronarium} :: tangy, slightly bitter, faint peppery, mild cauliflower
Ranging in colors from red, white, yellow and orange. Sould be blanched first and then scatter the petals on a salad. Remove the bitter flower base and use petals only. Young leaves and stems of the Crown Daisy, also known as Chop Suey Greens or Shingiku in Japan, are widely used in oriental stir-fries and as salad seasoning.
Clover {Trifolium species} :: Sweet, anise-like, licorice.
White and red clover blossoms were used in folk medicine against gout, rheumatism, and leucorrhea. Used whole clover plants in salads, make a white clover leaf tea for coughs and colds. Raw flower heads can be difficult to digest.
Bachelor's Button {Centaurea cynaus} :: slightly sweet to spicy, clove-like flavor.
Bloom is a natural food dye. More commonly used as garnish.
Dandelions {Taraxacum officinalis} :: sweet, honey-like flavor when young, mature flowers are bitter. Dandelion buds are tastier than the flowers: best to pick these when they are very close to the ground and about the size of a small gumball. Good raw or steamed. Young leaves taste good steamed, or tossed in salads. When serving a rice dish use dandelion petals like confetti over the rice.
English Daisy {Bellis perennis} :: mildly bitter taste
Most commonly used for their looks than their flavor. The petals are used as a garnish and in salads.
***Not every flower is edible - some flowers can make you very, very sick.
• Never use pesticides or other chemicals on any part of any plant that produces blossoms you plan to eat.
• Never harvest flowers growing by the roadside.
• Identify the flower exactly and eat only edible flowers and edible parts of those flowers.
• Always remember to use flowers sparingly in your recipes due to the digestive complications that can occur with a large consumption rate.

Airport restaurant receives committee approval

MAYVILLE — A new restaurant at the Chautauqua County Airport in Jamestown has the stamp of approval from the Public Facilities Committee....
The county will provide electric, gas and water, Translation.....the taxpayers of Chaut Cty will pay all utilities for the privately owned restaurant. Now all who think this is right raise your hand.

I applaud local initiative and SMB owners, but if the County is supplying electric, gas AND water, does $200/month even begin to cover that?

My Ex Thinks Im Being Unfair **The Whole Story**
So am i being unfair? Or reasonable?
**The Whole Story**
When our son was first born my ex ( my husband at the time) that i wanted to baptize our baby. His words were: Fine with me you be in charge of the planning an ill worry about the money. That was all good an dandy for me made me happy. When we split up i told him i still want to Baptise him an if he will still be willing to help. His words were: You can if you want i don't find it important, non of my family is baptized an were all doing just fine, y should i want to invest in something i don't think is important to me nor my family.
So i said: OK that's fine but I'm going to because to me it is important an means alot for me an just the way i was raised. So i start planning for my 47 guests that im having an we're Hispanic an in our culture we are always close with our extended family. Us Mexicans tend to have a big family :)
Anyway so i plan for my family an me. Buying only what i need to buy. I made the invitation myself, i got my cousins making decor, i got my aunts who will be making food, my cousin who is dj will do it for free for me :), got my uncles lending their trucks to haul in tables an chairs, so all is going pretty great...but when my ex came to pick up our son for the day he asked me if he could take our son with him to his family reunion (the day before our baptism) it was fine i had no problem...I blurted out: oh wow that's the day before he gets baptized . Well i guess he told his family an when he came to drop off our son he said: So my family wants to go to his Baptist since they're all goin to be down that weekend.
That is when i got little ticked off an asked him to pay for half since his contains an estimate of 30 ppl. So there's the story
Like come on :/
I think he should pay. Why are they coming to the celebration if its not important to them? If he wants his family to come party he should help out and pay half of the expenses it shouldn't be up to you especially if he wants his family to come and party. I am Hispanic as well I know how expensive our parties can be and to add on all those people it's going to be more money you have to kick out to make sure everyone eats, drinks and has a good time
If the baptism isn´t important to him and his family, as he said, then why does it bother him that they can´t attend? I think you´re right and he´s the one that´s being selfish!

Does the D/H ratio vary within ~ 100~pc of the Sun? If it does, what is the range of these variations? Are the D/H variations correlated to any physical property of the absorbing cloud? To answer these questions we have begun a project to obtain high-precision D/H abundance ratios in the Local Interstellar Medium within ~ 100~pc (Sahu et al. 1999, ApJ 523, L159). For this purpose, we primarily use HST-Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) data towards nearby hot, white dwarfs (WDs). The advantages of using STIS for this study are: (1) The high velocity resolution of STIS in the UV (~ 2 km~s-1 in the E140H and E230H modes) allows the velocity structure in the sightline to be resolved and reliable component-to-component variations can be studied (2) WDs provide a strong, smooth UV continuum against which other diagnostic interstellar absorption lines can be measured. The wider wavelength coverage (~ 200Å\ per setting) of STIS in the high-resolution E140H mode allows important interstellar lines such as N~{\sc i}, Si~{\sc ii}, O~{\sc i} and S~{\sc ii} to be measured in addition to D~{\sc i} and H~{\sc i}, at no extra cost in HST time (3) The superior echelle scatter and background corrections possible with the 2-dimensional STIS-MAMA detectors allow more accurate D/H determinations from WD spectra.\\ In this poster, we present a status report of our project along with some recent results.

All of my life, I've dreamed of wide open spaces, big red barns and old farm houses with wrap-around porches — places where clean laundry is permitted to flap in the breeze, and people are more concerned with keeping bees, raising chickens and growing edible crops than manicuring their lawns.
A recent trip to the Coopersville Farm Museum stirred up my obsession with living on a farm. I stopped in to preview the annual quilt show that opens Tuesday and left itching to drive a tractor.
I know, I didn't see that coming.
When I arrived at the museum, I was frazzled from my white-knuckle drive through a downpour. But there's nothing like a collection of 161 quilts to motivate this crafty lady. And, when I finally arrived, the Crazy Lady Quilters waiting to show me around did not disappoint.
How it all began
Rhea Mae Hubbel, 74, of Crockery Township; Kathy Preston, 59, of Muskegon; Beverly Flowers-Coleman, 59, of Muskegon, and several fellow quilters meet every Thursday in the back of the museum to sew quilts and share stories. The group started out as a quilting class taught by museum director LeeAnn Creager's mother, Sally Hitchcock, 75, in 2003. When the class ended, the ladies kept right on meeting.
Hubbel is the crazy lady quilter responsible for getting the annual quilt show started nine years ago when she suggested the museum was a bit lacking when it came to appealing to female guests.
Hubbel said the museum started by local farmer and businessman Ed Hanenburg was most impressive — if you liked tractors.
"I said, 'The wives might come there with their husbands once, but they'll never come back because what do you have to interest women?'"
Willing to help expand the museum offerings, Hubbel, a feed sack collector and quilter, suggested the museum host a quilt show and add a feedsack display complete with quilts and clothing stitched from cotton sacks that were recycled into clothing and other household goods by farm women back in the day. (During the late 1800s and early 1900s, manufacturers of flower, sugar and feed packaged products in printed fabric sacks in an effort to encourage brand loyalty among female buyers. The sacks were especially popular with frugal farm women.)
An ad in the local paper led to 73 quilt submissions for the first quilt show at the farm museum in 2002.
"I'm not a quilter," explained museum director Creager, who was new to the job that year. "So when I was presented with 73 quilts to display, I said, 'OK let's put it up like another museum exhibit.'"
Quilts & Their Stories
When: Tuesday to Sept. 30
Where: Coopersville Farm Museum, 375 Main St., in Coopersville
Cost: $4 for adults, $3 for seniors, $2 for visitors age 18 and younger.
Details: For a complete list of special quilting events including the Dolly & Me Tea Aug. 5, Sunbonnet Ice Cream Social Aug. 21 and the Quilters Marathon and long arm quilting demonstration on Sept. 23, visit coopersvillefarmmuseum.org.
The result is a fantastic two-month show with a series of quilt-related events ranging from workshops and a quilt marathon (featuring teams of four racing to convert mystery fabric into a finished quilt) to a Dolly & Me Tea and a Sunbonnet (Sue) Ice Cream Social.
The best part of this show is it's open to quilters of all experience levels. Some of the quilts on display are works of art worth thousands, while others are well-loved family heirlooms. All are lovely in their own right because it's always fun to hear the story of what motivates people to spend hours cutting up bits of fabric and sew them back together.
Quilting at its best
"There are some quilters who won't enter because it's not professional enough or whatever," Creager said, explaining the quilts in the show are not judged and awarded fancy prizes.
But those who snub the show are clearly missing out. After previewing the show that features an entertaining collection of quilts including one featuring Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Bill texting, it's clear the folks in Coopersville have managed to host a show that encapsulates quilting in its purest form. Their inclusive show is simply about a community celebrating quilters and their stories.
There is no fee to enter a quilt in museum show. However, "you can't bring a quilt here and put it in the show unless you write a story about your quilt," Hubbel said.
So let's get stitching and typing folks. We've got about a year to prepare our quilts and stories for the 2011 show.
What are you making this summer? Send your comments, project ideas and story suggestions to Jennifer Ackerman-Haywood at firstname.lastname@example.com or send letters to P.O. Box 888192, Grand Rapids, MI 49588-8192.

Peek Inside: My flu-fighting survival kit
Ack! The evil flu still has me tightly wrapped in its web, friends. The last few days haven't been pretty. At all. But I have managed to come up with a list of things that have at least made me scream out in agony just a little bit less....
Vicks to get more through those long nights of coughing; Gatorade to make sure I'm keeping up with my fluid intake (the blue flavor is my favorite); Reruns of Glee, even if I can't sing along to the musical numbers; chicken noodle soup because it's the ultimate comfort food; and Kleenex for my ever-running nose!
So, friends, now it's your turn: What makes you feel better when you're sick? A family tradition passed down from generation to generation? A favorite book? A favorite movie? Hope you're staying well this season! xoxo

Ack! I hate that stinkin flu! It totally kicked my butt. Oh, and nothing helped that sore throat except lying still and not breathing. I hope you're feeling better. Running noses are horrible!ReplyDelete
yuck! hope you feel better soon.ReplyDelete
gatorade is the only thing i will drink when i am sick. i know i am supposed to be watering myself with water, but i can never choke it down!
xx jes
Aww, feel better Melissa! And heck yes, blue Gatorade rocks! Pink is my other favorite. :)ReplyDelete
Oh no, I hope you're feeling better soon!ReplyDelete
My sickness arsenal is very similar to yours, I can't survive it without the vicks, I love that stuff
Mal @ The Chic Geek
Noodle soup and lots of TV. : )ReplyDelete
I hope you feel better soon! But enjoy the down time (if you can).
Aww I hope you are feeling better, I have the bug right now too and its a total bummer. {Glee is the absolute best!}ReplyDelete
My cold remedy is Camomile tea with waaayyy too much honey... its wonderful. And a nice long session with Greys Anatomy reruns... xoxo
Feel Better.

I haven't been sick in a few years but I'd say camping out in my parents' bed, which is what my Mom always had me do when I stayed home from school. I would cut out all of my paper dolls. I wonder if little girls still play with those? :-)ReplyDelete
i would camp out in my parents bed as a kid when i was sick :) i'd stay there at night and lay on the couch watching disney classics during the day.ReplyDelete
Ah, here is my secret recipe: the canary! Boil 2 cups of water with plenty of lemon peel in it. Boil, boil, boil... until it gets yellow like a canary! Add some honey if you like and sip slowly, while wrapped in heavy blankets, with a magazine nearby.ReplyDelete
Sometimes I add fresh ginger, but just the lemon peel makes the trick! :)
(and don't you love the name, anyway? hahah)
My grandma used to make me a Hot Toddy when I was sick. Not exactly legal...but it made me feel a LOT better! Honey, (some people use tea, also), lemon, whiskey, all hot and stirry.ReplyDelete
I heard the most effective part of cold medicines is the alcohol because it knocks you out! Bottom's up!

Jason King scored the winner with 1:22 remaining in the third period and Eddie Pasquale turned in an outstanding goaltending performance as the St. John's IceCaps rallied for a 3-2 victory over the Syracuse Crunch Friday night in the IceCaps' first-ever American Hockey League playoff game.
The first two games of the best-of-five opening-round playoff series are being played in Syracuse, with Game 2 tonight. Game 3 will go Wednesday at Mile One Centre in St. Johns, with Games 4 and 5, if necessary, also set for Mile One.
Derek Meech and Aaron Gagnon also scored for the IceCaps. Meech, who provided the game's first marker early in the second period, finished with two points, as did Ben Maxwell, who set up King's goal and Gagnon's third-period tally, which tied the game at 2-2.
Kyle Palmieri, on a second-period power play, and Mark Bell replied for the Crunch. Bell's was a third-period goal giving Syracuse a lead that lasted only 47 seconds before Gagnon beat Iiro Tarkki at 12:22.
Pasquale, in his professional playoff debut, had an outstanding game, making 35 saves. Some of his best work came in the opening period, when the Crunch came out on a charge. At one point, shots were 11-3 in favour of Syracuse, but the St. John's goalie kept the game scoreless entering the first intermission.
"He was the difference in the first part of the game," said Keith McCambridge, the IceCaps head coach.
McCambridge wasn't surprised at the intensity of the Crunch to open the game, given that Syracuse had to scramble to earn a playoff spot, only clinching a berth and the seventh seed with a win on the final day of the regular season.
So while the Crunch was already in top gear, the IceCaps, who had been locked in as the Eastern Conference second seed well before season's end, were still trying to find the clutch.
"Syracuse was in that playoff mode for the last two or three weeks and you could expect they would bring that into the game," he said. "For us, where we didn't have to through that, you could see where we were slowly getting into the mindset of what it takes to win playoff games.
"But we did, and by the third period, we were doing those things.
"Can we do them better? Yes, but the fact we kept getting better is what's important."
The IceCaps went zero-for-five on the power play, but McCambridge said he wasn't too bothered about lack of production in Game 1.
"Syracuse is very aggressive on the penalty kiill, but our (power-play) units have people still getting used to each other," said McCambridge, referring to the likes of Meech and Brock Trotter, who only returned from long-term injury-list stays in the past couple of weeks.
"It's not a huge concern for me."
IceCaps' defenceman Arturs Kulda was in discomfort after a second-period hit and did not play in the third because of what McCambridge calls "precautionary" reasons. "We'll see how he feels in the morning and go from there," said McCambrige. If Kulda doesn't play tonight, expect Zach Redmond to draw into the lineup ... Friday's three stars: 1. King, SJs 2. Bell, Syr. 3 Pasquale SJs; Maxwell was the choice as the hardest-working IceCap player .. The Crunch's top line of Palmieri, Patrick Maroon and former St. John's player Riley Holzapfel was minus-two Friday ... Tarkki faced 29 shots in front of a less-than-sellout, but extremely loud crowd of 4,921 ... Game time tonight is 9 p.m. NT, with Brian Rogers' pre-game show beginning about a half-hour earlier on CJYQ 930 AM,TSN Radio 1290 Winnipeg and online at Steele Communications websites and stjohnsicecaps.com

This is about ferry flights of DC10 (and even 747) that are flown to boneyards with a short runway. The one nearest me is GWO, runway of 6500 ft. They receive a lot of Dc10s, most recently on Thursday an ex-CO bird.
Naturally the planes are empty which makes it easier, but do you pilots have any special procedures to use when you land on such a short runway? Such as, reducing your final approach speed/altitude even more than normal or making your touchdown point early? I imagine there is no margin of error. Do airlines use specially trained or experienced pilots for these types of flights?
also, how about takeoff. I dont think its possible but can an empty Dc10 or 747 take off from a 6500ft runway?

text: Low pressure will organize and strengthen tonight and Saturday, moving from the Southern Plains into central and eastern Iowa. A mixture of rain and snow will develop this evening and change completely over to snow during the night and continue into Saturday. At this time, the primary area of concern for a band of heavy snow exists from east of Marshall, Minnesota southward to the Storm Lake,Iowa vicinity. The heaviest of the snow, where 6 to 10 inches will fall late tongight and Saturday, exists from the eastern side of Cottonwood County Minnesota, southward to Storm Lake, Iowa. These amounts coupled with north to northwest winds of 20 to 35 mph, will create very hazardous travel conditions. A WINTER STORM WARNING is in effect for later tonight through Saturday for areas east of Interstate 29.

Every Novel by Chuck Palahniuk — Author of Fight Club
a book list by Peter, the avid reader who runs Flashlight Worthy
shelved under Books by... and Fiction
One day I noticed that we people were coming to Flashlight Worthy from a site called "chuckpalahniuk.net". While most people would assume some crazy Ukrainian hacker was entering their site, I recognized it as "Chuck Palahniuk" — the name of the author of Fight Club.
I went and took a look and it seems that the site is the offical site of the author, the site has a message board, and some of Chuck's fans had started a discussion about Flashlight Worthy.
Well, far be it for me to be ungracious. The least I could do is put together a list of all of Chuck's novels. Enjoy.
P.S. If you're coming here from Chuck's website, I purposefully left descriptions off the books. I figure you can do a much better job describing them than I ever could.

On Wednesday July 3rd, Twitter announced that it will begin "experimenting with new ways of targeting ads." In layman's terms they will begin tracking your activity on third-party websites within the Twitter ecosystem, or websites that have integrated Twitter buttons or widgets.
Twitter already uses things like their Follow buttons on websites to see where its logged in users are going when not on their site, so this isn't entirely new.
What is new is that Twitter will begin to relay that data to advertisers to craft the ads that you see when on Twitter.com. Twitter added that "users won't see more ads on Twitter, but they may see better ones." Best of all, they've added the ability for you to opt out.
When you visit your account settings page, you will see two new check boxes for personalization and promoted content.
The personalization option will tailor suggestions to enhance your timeline with Tweets,
links, media and conversations from the people you're interested in. It works by examining your recent visits to websites in the Twitter ecosystem to make suggestions on who to follow.
The promoted content option lets Twitter display ads about things you've shown interest in based on the data collected within the Twitter ecosystem. If you uncheck this box, Twitter will not match your account to information shared by ad partners for tailoring ads.
If you have set your web browser to tell sites that you do not want to be tracked, under the personalization option in your settings you will see a green checkmark stating "While you have Do Not Track turned on, your visits to sites that feature Twitter are not available to personalize your experience". The Do Not Track setting will override both the personalization and promoted content settings if checked.
To turn off Twitter's new options, simply log in to Twitter and visit your account settings page. Uncheck the two boxes mentioned above and save the changes. To learn more about Do Not Track and enable it, check out this document.
