New York Knicks @ Utah Jazz Game Thread 3/29/2010
David Lee and the Knicks
20.1 points on 54.7% fg, 11.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists
Deron Williams and the Jazz
18.4 points on 47% fg, 10.4 assists, 4.1 rebounds
The Knicks are 0-1 on their west coast trip. They look to improve to 1-1, as they take on the Jazz.
The Jazz are coming off of a win over the Wizards. They look to make it 2 in a row, as they take on the Knicks.
Key Matchup
Danilo Gallinari
Carlos Boozer
Gallinari is an excellent 3 point shooter. He has the ability to knock down 3s in bunches, which can be dangerous for the opponent.
Boozer is an All Star level player. His ability to post up and rebound at a high level is why he's an All Star.

Nice game thread ABCD...lmao @ the last option on the poll (some people here will probably catch feelings)
and lmao at that pic u posted streetdreams, I hate the Jazz. Derin Williams is a uncle tom with white people hair
Good song too ABCD, im a big fan of that whole CD...Ghost came hard on Fishscale. Anyone hear Wu Massacre yet? Its short but good
*tunes in to MSG*
*See's that we are down by 15*
*Watches Nuggets vs Mavs instead*
Well at least the Jazz held the Knicks under 100 points.Good game by them, they deserve to have our number 1 pick.
Knicks gave up 44 points in 1st quarter. nuff said. a week ago they gave up 45 points in 2nd quarter vs Houston. the Monday morning quarter-back misses Girafferies and his flopmeister general defense, he was the backbone of this team! sad! how can the great D'assholio forge a defensive presence without keys players such as this? wasn't his goal to be 15th best defensive squad in the league? or was that the east? GOALLLLLL!!
If Douglas doesn't get significantly better this off-season then I can't imagine him being the starting PG. He has zero court awareness and sometimes forgets who the shooters on the court are. His shovel passes drive me crazy and he constantly gives the ball up too soon during a possession. I've said this before but his main strength is to score and that's it. We can try to mold him into a starting PG but I don't think it will ever be to the point where he is legit.
Gallo. I swear this dude can frustrate the hell out of you sometimes. One day he understands what to do to be successful and the next he's back to being clueless again (you cannot blame that on an old back injury). He just decided to spot up on the 3pt line all night and showed very little effort. You can pin that on Gallo himself first and foremost. Second, Douglas gets a lil blame for not creating for him. Lastly, the coaching staff doesn't seem to communicate much to him during timeouts. As much as I think Harrington is a ballhog, the dude is very aggressive and constantly puts pressure on the defense. Gallo could at least pick some of that up.
Just to be clear, I like both TD and Gallo and want to see them improve. They just need to put in alot of work this off-season.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Neji died
Neji will meet his father like kakashi and be revived eventually
No idea
Neji's curse will be removed if he is revived
He is still alive

I hope not.

Enlighten me!
Guy's only time to ever unleash the Eighth Gate is in this fight, rest assured, he'll die for Lee's own development. I'll be beyond surprised if Lee unleashes the Eighth gate before Guy. Now that would be surprising.

Shino is not gonna die :flaw:, he needs to live
lee or gai are maybe next if sakura die as well np for me
ye you're right.
About the Gai/lee thing .. I can see Gai sensei and Rock Lee going mad because of Nejis death .. Gai loves everyone of his students and Rock lee saw Neji as a good friend/rival ..
They both might go 7th gate looking for revenge

seems you havnt read the latest chapter buddy
I see Kishi bringing him back. He's too much of a wuss to kill lpeople permanently.
not really a fan of madara but
in the last left panel he was like:smile, go along with the dummy,let him think he's in charge,while in reality he's just following what was madara was doing

Shino won't die for the sole reason.. He isn't that important to make a huge impact to anybody... But if his family dies. He actually might get mad.i say guy dying for lee development . Ima be sad also seeing as lee is my fav if he die. Chouji had his power up. Vs asuma so he can't get no madder

you see through it brosky, in the end obito will be good again and revive all shinobi that he killed in the war LOL
In the last two chapters the manga has gotten better, and now it's time to switch to Sasuke and Oro.
In my opinion I'll find it pretty lame if the manga repeats what happened with Nagato, I think there should be more epic battles and almost all of Kanoha parishes and the juubi reaches full form and after all that Naruto unlocks his own rinnnegan and the epic endding battle begins, and since Naruto has so much chakra he can revive everyone without dying

Officers with the Roosevelt County Sheriff's Office and the Region V Drug Task Force arrested a 30-year-old man Monday on drug-trafficking charges, according to a RCSO news release.
Genaro Solis-Cordoba, 30, of Mexico was arrested after officers found cocaine, a handgun and cash while searching a vehicle and a Roosevelt County residence.
Solis-Cordoba was booked into the Roosevelt County Detention Center on the charge of trafficking of cocaine, a charge that carries a bond of $50,000 and is punishable by up to nine years in prison, according to the release.
According to the release, warrants were obtained after an undercover drug purchase arranged by agents with the task force.
Officers seized 1.2 ounces of cocaine, $789 in cash, a semi-automatic handgun, scales and packaging material. According to agent/deputy Shawn Gore, the cocaine has an approximate street value of $1,300.
Officers also recovered fake identification documents believed to used by Solis-Cordoba, who authorities said is an undocumented alien.

New clubs I've heard of:
Catterick Crusaders (think they may be North Yorkshire Stallions)
North Yorkshire Broncos (new to open age but already ran juniors)
Beckenham Bears
A merged West London Sharks and South London Storm?
In the midlands there are to my knowledge no new clubs at open age but Grantham Gladiators are joining the junior league I think.

- Title
- The Victorian premiers : 1856-2006
- Author(s)
- Strangio, Paul A.; Costar, Brian
- Abstract
- In the century and a half since Victoria was granted responsible government in 1856, 44 premiers have presided over the state and colony, from 'Honest' William Haines to Steve Bracks. Here is their story. For the first time this book brings together a comprehensive collection of biographical and political portraits of the Victorian premiers written by leading Australian historians and political scientists. The result is a compelling journey through a turbulent, occasionally anarchic, political landscape. A cast of fascinating characters is brought to life—the mercurial Graham Berry, who in the 1870s threatened broken heads and flaming houses in his heroic struggle to tame the colony's intractably conservative upper house; the roguish Tommy Bent, the turn of the century 'can do' premier whose development enthusiasms were unhindered by probities of office; the bohemian Tom Hollway, who conducted Victoria's affairs from his suite in the Windsor Hotel; the 'accidental' leader Henry Bolte, who became Victoria's longest serving premier; and the larrikin metropolitan, Jeff Kennett, who turned the state into a neo-liberal laboratory in the 1990s. A tale of premiers, the book is also a narrative of politics in a state that has vied with New South Wales as Australia's most prosperous and powerful. It recounts many extraordinary episodes: the precocious development of democracy in a fledgling colony turned upside down by gold immigrants; the titanic bicameral struggles of the 1860s and 1870s that brought Victoria to the brink of insurrection; the bank crashes of the 1890s; the police strike of 1923; the great Labor split of the 1950s; the hanging of Ronald Ryan in 1967; the social democratic adventurism of the Labor decade of the 1980s brought to a shuddering halt by another era of financial collapses; and the neo-liberal experimentalism of the Kennett government. This carefully researched and engagingly written book will leave the reader in no doubt that politics in the 'Garden State' has seldom been sedate and its premiers rarely predictable.

I am yoga instructor and yoga therapist with a private yoga therapy practice in my home in Seattle on Queen Anne. I have a small yoga studio and the use of a sauna in my home.
I took my first yoga class in New York in 1972; it was Integral Yoga. I loved yoga right away and over 35+ years I have explored many fine yoga and meditation paths. Being a typical vata, I like different experiences and styles. It takes time and learning to get me grounded in a suitable style that fits a vata personality and that keeps me interested and balanced.
2001 - I was 55 when I finally had the desire and the courage to study yoga seriously and train in teaching and therapy. I completed my teaching training and became a yoga instructor.
2004 - I completed the 500- hour yoga therapy requirements and became officially an accredited yoga therapist, schooled and trained by Joseph La Page educational program, called Integrative Yoga Therapy.
At this program I had the opportunity to study with a fascinating yoga teacher, Scott Blossom, who has a background in yoga, Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine. Dr. Robert Svoboda, a western authority on Ayurveda and author of many books, was part of the faculty
2001 - 2005 - I have been teaching classes, workshops and retreats, in addition to working with private clients. Due to a condition, called bipolar disorder, I had to retire from teaching and my practice in 2005. This medical condition, while chronic, is presently well managed with the help of a good psychiatrist who favors natural remedies and by my own personally designed yoga therapy program.
2010 - I am very happy to report I have come out of retirement and am back to teaching Viniyoga classes and working with individual clients in my yoga therapy practice in Seattle on Queen Anne. For information on classes and yoga therapy sessions, see my YOGA FOR YOUR TYPE BLOG.
While I have an extensive background in diverse styles of yoga, in my own work and practice I use mostly the classical tradition of Viniyoga. I also integrate principles of Ayurveda and intuitive guidance to create yoga programs which I call: YOGA FOR YOUR TYPE.
Note: For your information, there is an interesting Ayurvedic book, called Yoga for your Type: An Ayurvedic Approach to your Asana Practice - By Dr. David Frawley & Sandra Summerfield
Is a yoga practice designed by T.K.V. Desikachar, son of Sri T. Krishnamacharya. Krishnamacharya is considered the father of modern yoga. He made yoga available to students in India and the west. He is famous for having taught popular yogis and yoginis, such as his son, Desikachar, B.K.S. Iyengar, Indra Devi and Pattabhi Jois.
The Viniyoga practice is now promoted in the west by Gary Kraftsow, founder of the Viniyoga Institute.
Viniyoga makes use of modified yoga poses with the use of coordinated breath and movement. The adaptations combined with short vinyasas, asanas and pranayama – all together create a tailored yoga practice that is particular suited to the individual student and can as well be adjusted to a larger class room setting.
Goal of Viniyoga
The goal is to enhance flexibility of the joints, strength, balance and overall sense of well being and peace. Pranayama and meditation can be added as additional tools. Other goals are to address health issues such a chronic back pain, stress related illnesses, anxiety, depression, insomnia, menopause, and more.
At almost age 65, I find Viniyoga to be very user friendly allowing myself and my students of all ages with diverse abilities to practice yoga routines that are varied, creative and are easy to do--and on top of it are beneficial, health-enhancing and fun.
I also include principles of Ayurveda taking in consideration the constitution (dosha) of my student or client looking to balance the doshas with a yoga routine that fits a vata, pita or kapha personality--addressing the quality of the dosha as well as the imbalance that may arise from bad lifestyle habits.
More on Ayurveda
I find the subject of Ayurveda fascinating, so here is more information.
Both -- Ayurveda and Yoga -- have an extensive vision of health using many varied tools to deepen the integration of body, mind and spirit.
Ayurveda literally means the science of Life. Ayurveda is the ancient healing science of India. Its roots go back several thousand years making it one of the oldest healing arts.
Ayurveda and Yoga are each on its own excellent in their capacity to enhance well-being. Together synergistically, they provide an even more powerful support in today's world of tremendous change and pace.
An understanding of Ayurveda allows students to apply Ayurvedic principles to their yoga routine creating a practice that compliments their Ayurvedic constitution and thus enhances their well being.
There are currently many different styles of yoga. Knowledge of Ayurveda assists in choosing a yoga style or using specific poses that are particularly suited to each individual's needs -- based on knowing your Ayurvedic constitution (dosha)
To find out more about your particular dosha and to learn more about Ayurvedic supplements and treatments, such as Panchakarma, visit the website of my good friend and business partner, Andy Warren – the Ayurvedic Center of Health and Massage - located in Seattle's University district.

So besides my love to read, to study yoga and Ayurveda, I still have a great interest in diet and nutrition and continue to love to cook great meals. I continue to enjoy traveling to Europe and exotic destinations and hope to start to travel more again in the near future. My wish is to go to retreat destinations set in beautiful natural environments to teach in a retreat setting.

I got out of the shower this morning and the bleb, which has been quite painful lately, looked like a whitehead and finally on the surface. I stuck a pin in it and squeezed and it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Okay, that's exaggerated, but I love popping. It just kept going and it was sort of hard. I nursed D a few minutes later and when he unlatched there was even more to squeeze out. It feels so much better already.
What should I do now? I don't want an infection but I also don't want to use anything D can't eat.

Arcia HR, Lackey error boost Twins over Sox 5-3The Associated Press | May 10,2013BOSTON Oswaldo Arcia hit a two-run homer and the Minnesota Twins capitalized on a costly throwing error by Boston starter John Lackey to beat the struggling Red Sox 5-3 Thursday night.
Lackeys wild throw to second base on a potential inning-ending double play gave the Twins another chance in the sixth and they responded with four unearned runs, including two on Arcias homer, to take a 5-2 lead.
Minnesota wrapped up the four-game series with its third consecutive win while the Red Sox lost for the sixth time in seven games, falling out of first place for the first time this season.
Kevin Correia (4-2) pitched 5 1-3 innings, his second shortest outing in seven starts this season. But relievers Brian Duensing, Jared Burton and Glen Perkins held the Red Sox scoreless the rest of the way. Perkins pitched the ninth for his eighth save.
Yankees 3, Rockies 1
DENVER CC Sabathia and five relievers held Colorado to four hits, Robinson Cano added a solo homer and the New York Yankees beat the Rockies 3-1 on Thursday in a game that was delayed more than two hours by rain.
Cano also had an infield single in the third for his 1,500th hit as the Yankees took two of three from Colorado.
A steady rain delayed the first pitch by 8 minutes. The grounds crew constantly dumped diamond dry on the infield between innings to keep the surface playable. In the fourth, another thunderstorm rumbled through the city and halted the game for 1:59.
Sens 6, Habs 1
MONTREAL Craig Anderson made 33 saves and Cory Conacher scored twice on a shaky Peter Budaj as the Ottawa Senators advanced to the second round of the playoffs Thursday night with a 6-1 rout of the Montreal Canadiens.
Ottawa took the best-of-seven series 4-1 and put a punctuation mark on its dominance in moving on for the first time since 2007, when the Senators lost in the Stanley Cup finals to the Anaheim Ducks.
The victory gives Ottawa time to rest up and heal bruises from the physical series before the conference semifinals begin next week.
Zack Smith, Kyle Turris, Daniel Alfredsson and Erik Condra also scored for Ottawa, underdogs as the seventh seed in the East, but bolstered down the stretch by the return of top players on defense Erik Karlsson and Jared Cowan.
P.K. Subban scored for injury-struck Montreal.
Penguins 4, Islanders 0.
PITTSBURGH Tomas Vokoun stopped 31 shots in his first playoff start in six years and the Penguins took a 3-2 lead in their first-round series.
Sidney Crosby, Tyler Kennedy and Douglas Murray scored during a seven-minute stretch in the second period and Kris Letang added a power-play goal in the third as Pittsburgh moved a step closer to advancing to the second round.
Game 6 is Saturday in New York.
Evgeni Nabokov made 23 saves for the Islanders, but also gave up breakaway goals to Crosby and Kennedy and botched a lazy wrist shot from Murray that gave the Penguins all the offense they would need.
Vokoun was thrust into the lineup after Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma benched Marc-Andre Fleury, who had started 79 straight postseason games but struggled in a 6-4 loss in Game 4. The 36-year-old Vokoun didnt look intimidated by the stage as the Penguins restored a little order to a wide-open series.MORE IN Wire SportsORLANDO, Fla. Full StoryOXON HILL, Md.

The loss of a family pet is no doubt heartbreaking. But, when it comes almost exactly one year to the day of an attempted kidnapping involving your child, it's just unthinkably cruel.
That's what one family is dealing with.
An empty crate is what Jay Yano has left to remind him of his missing friend.
"He's kind of our mascot here at the shop," said Yano.
It's been three days since Macho disappeared.
Yano is convinced someone stole Macho from the Kalihi shop where he works and where everyone in the neighborhood knows him.
"It's easy for someone to open it and let him out, but he couldn't do it himself," said Yano of the iron gates that access his t-shirt screening business.
It happened late in the afternoon on Nov. 28 and it must have happened quickly.
"He had to have gone in a car, otherwise someone would have seen him walking around," said Yano.
A cruel coincidence?
It was almost one year ago exactly, when a man tried to steal Yano's truck right in front of his McCully home with his 9-year-old daughter still inside.
His son jumped in and helped his Dad stop the suspect, saving his sister.
To try to explain the irony is impossible.
"It affects my son and daughter again that something has been taken and my wife even says, 'You know, I'm tired of things being taken from us during this time,'" said Yano.
Yano said it's his kids who are taking Macho's disappearance especially hard.
"He was so much fun. He would always jump on his two legs and I would hold his paws and we would dance around," said Jonah Yano, 12. "I hope somebody will return Macho because he was my best friend."
Fliers are up around town and Yano checks Craigslist regularly with the hopes he'll somehow find Macho.
A reward is being offered for Macho's return.

After going through an un-Tarleton State-like 3-8 campaign in 2010, second-year Texans coach Cory Fowler is looking to change the culture of the program.
Forty-three of the 100 players on Tarleton's roster are in the freshman class as Fowler tries to steer away from a reliance on transfers and build a program from the ground up. The Texans have also implemented an "air-raid" offense, similar to the one employed the last few seasons by Eastern New Mexico University.
Thus, the teams may have a similar look when they meet in a 2 p.m. Lone Star Conference clash today at Greyhound Stadium, something that may be beneficial to both defenses.
"In practice, we like facing our offense," said senior defensive lineman Aaron Vaughan. "You can tell we're used to that."
Both programs borrowed the offense from Texas Tech. Texans offensive coordinator Lee Hays has spent time at Tech and West Texas A&M.
While the Texans are 0-3 (0-1 LSC), they've been in every game against quality opposition.
"We've played some real good teams," Fowler said. "We knew when we made this schedule we'd have a young team. We're starting from ground zero."
The Greyhounds (1-2, 0-1) managed to break through last week for a 28-19 win at Oklahoma Panhandle State, but ENMU coach Mark Ribaudo acknowledged the performance was far from flawless.
"It was nice to get in the win column, especially on the road," he said. "We still didn't play our best football, but that's the best Panhandle team I've seen in 20 years.
"We needed that game. We needed to show our kids we can win games if we do things right."
A key play was sophomore Jayson Serda's 89-yard touchdown return of the second-half kickoff, staking the Hounds to a 28-10 lead.
"It never felt like we got in a rhythm, but we came out with a win," said Vaughan, a 6-foot-5, 255-pounder from Texico who will see action at end, tackle or sometimes nose guard. "We need this game to give us some momentum, and it's a conference game."
The Hounds figure the Texans will be looking for a little revenge from last year — ENMU won 35-10 in Stephenville, Texas.
"We caught them at the perfect time last year," Ribaudo said. "They had a lot of injuries and it was the last game of the year.
"They're a better team now. We're going to see a different Tarleton football team."

Federal investigators say Iowa's health care programs for children, the poor and the disabled make fewer payment errors than other states.
Reports from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released Thursday show Iowa's children's health insurance program had a 2.7 percent error rate in 2011, far below the 8.2 percent national average.
About 65,000 children are covered in the program, known as hawk-i, which had the second lowest error rate among more than 15 states tested. Auditors looked for problems such as unintentional overpayments to providers and eligibility errors.
Federal officials found that Iowa's Medicaid error rate was 4.5 percent, compared to a 5.8 percent national average.
Iowa Department of Human Services Director Chuck Palmer says "it's gratifying" to see good results after making efforts to ensure accurate payments.

The origins of Halloween are vastly different from the holiday celebrated today in America, according to an Eastern New Mexico University history professor.
He promises to enlighten people on the holiday's origins and myths in a noon lecture today in the Sandia Room at the Campus Union Building at ENMU.
Alex Garman will be giving the first lecture for the newly organized History Guild at the university on the history of Halloween, tracing it from its European origins to modern America.
"I'm their adviser, so I had to volunteer to be first," Garman said of the guild. "I figured Halloween would be a good one since it's topical."
Garman's area of study was ancient history and his specialty is early pre-Christian religions. He is working on a book on that topic he expects to be published in May.
Garman said despite its current-day connections to the occult and evil, Halloween was created by the Catholic church.
"Originally it was a good, solid Christian holiday," Garman said. "It was basically a Christian holiday to celebrate the saints and martyrs."
He said that celebration became entangled with beliefs and traditions from the Celtic Samhain celebration and the Germanic Alfablot celebration. Both were held after the harvest and involved various traditions, including animal sacrifice.
Garman said Irish immigrants who came to America during the potato famine of 1849 brought the holiday with them.
"In America, Halloween has no religious connotations whatsoever," Garman said. "It's about kids going out trick-or-treating and getting sick from eating too much candy."
He agrees the holiday has taken on a life of its own in America, noting it is the sixth most important holiday in terms of retail sales.
Garman said the free program is open to the general public as well as ENMU students.
"I'll give 'em some hard history, but we'll have some fun with it too," Garman said.
A slightly different angle on the Halloween holiday will be offered at 7 p.m. at the Becky Sharp Auditorium at ENMU.
Santa Fe storyteller Nasario Garcia, professor emeritus of Spanish at New Mexico Highlands University, will speak on buried treasure, the devil, the evil eye and the bogeyman, according to an ENMU news release.
The event, sponsored by ENMU's Hispanic Affairs, is free.
Refreshments will be served following the program.

White Sox reliever Jesse Crain and starting pitcher Chris Sale have been named to the American League All-Star team. Starting pitcher Travis Wood will represent the Cubs on the National League team.
Crain, currently on the disabled list, will not be able to pitch in next week's All-Star Game. Crain has a 0.74 ERA, allowing only three earned runs in 36 2/3 innings this season. Sale owns a 5-7 record with a 2.79 ERA. He has struck out 114 batters in 106 1/3 innings. It is the first All-Star appearance for Crain and the second for Sale.
Wood, a first-time All-Star, is 5-6 this season with a 2.69 ERA, which ranks in the top 10 in the NL.

Father, 2 sons die after hiking in cold on Ozark Trail .
Saw this on the news. thought it was relevant to everyone here, especially those with kids. This really touched home, not just because of the fact it was a dad with two sons out hiking like I so often do, but because I have been in that same situation where the weather turned bad, I misjudged the situation, became lost and nearly led us to catastrophe. Why I ever thought it would be a good idea to take the boys to the chimney rocks via Hornet Tree Top in February is beyond me. Why I didn't turn around when I saw the fog was just ignorance on my part. When the temp suddenly dropped and the fog started freezing on the hemlock needles we tried to come down, but I couldn't find the correct ridge back down. It wasn't until the fog luckily cleared at 3:30 in the afternoon that I could orient myself to landmarks in the distance and find the right ridge down. I've experienced all of the stages of panic when lost, recognized them, and tried to fight them off, and still nearly succumbed to the panic. You cannot imagine how that feels until you really experience it. Now compound that with your kids depending on you to get them home.
The only difference in that guy and me wasn't anything I did, I got lucky and the weather turned for the better and I found my way out before the dark and cold set in. This guy wasn't so lucky.
I posted this to remind everyone to never take the weather for granted, especially in winter. No matter how "nice" the day may seem...always, always, always carry the basics, extra warm layers, firestarter, map/compass/gps, even a small tarp (5x7 silnylon at walmart for $10 fits in a pocket and makes a reasonable emergency shelter to get you out of a freezing rain) even on DAY TRIPS. Yes, absolutely every day trip I take now, even if its on completely on highly trafficked trails, I bring all of those things. Stay safe.
I should have turned around already.
This started happening suddenly all around us. I suddenly realized I should have left a long time ago.
Absolutely heartbreaking!
After coming back from our first backcountry overnighter, I realized I had taken WAY too much stuff. Maybe not.
I always try to take gear if conditions get worse. They rarely do, but when it happens, it can make all the difference. Holli & I did a hike to LeConte last year Boulevard to Alum. Supposedly upper 60's really turned out to be 38 with 20-30 mile an hour winds.
Jay, I doubt you were as close as this guy was, but it always a good lesson in keeping it safe.

Hiker Fatality on AT near Tricorner Knob
An overdue male hiker, approximately 50 years of age, was discovered deceased at Tricorner Knob Shelter in Great Smoky Mountains National Park by Park Rangers early Wednesday afternoon, January 16, 2013. The name of the hiker is being withheld pending positive identification and notification of family.
The hiker left Newfound Gap on Saturday morning intending to hike 30 miles along the Appalachian Trail to Davenport Gap in North Carolina. The hiker was reported overdue Monday afternoon by a friend when he failed to show up at Davenport Gap. Rangers initiated an investigation at that time. Rangers were searching trails in the area when the discovery was made today.
Park Rangers are investigating the incident with the assistance of the Swain County Medical Examiner�s Office. The cause of death does not appear to be suspicious.

GMP fined more over Lowell wind equipment transportAP File Photo
A truck hauls part of a wind tower in Lowell in August. Vermont utility regulators have fined Green Mountain Power $30,000 stemming from five violations of its permit to ship turbine parts to an industrial wind-power project last year.
LOWELL Vermonts largest electric utility has been fined $30,000 by state utility regulators for violating the permit that governed the delivery by road of turbine parts used in the construction of the Lowell Mountain wind project.
Green Mountain Power and the Public Service Department, which represents the state in utility issues, had agreed upon a fine of $7,500 for the violations that took place last summer when the turbine parts were delivered without giving proper notice to the communities through which the trucks carrying the parts passed.
But the utility-regulating Public Service Board determined the fine wasnt enough. The board increased the fine to $30,000.
We have determined that a higher penalty is warranted for violating the transportation plan, said the boards order.
GMP spokeswoman Dorothy Schnure said Thursday that no property was harmed during the violations. And a New Hampshire company hauled wind turbine parts along the same route last summer without any requirements to warn Vermont officials.
Were really disappointed that the Public Service Board chose this level of fine for an administrative oversight, Schnure said. We had a permit. We used the route for five days due to an administrative error on our part before we had completed all technical notifications and actions.
Most of the turbine parts used in the Lowell Mountain project were shipped from southern Vermont to Lowell and from Island Ponds rail yards to Lowell, all without violations. But the utility made a handful of shipments from northern New York to Lowell.
GMP asked for and received an expedited permit to use the northern route, but the utility did not get a waiver for a 30- to 60-day warning period for the towns through which the parts would be moved.
The 21-turbine Lowell Mountain project started generating electricity late last year.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

Wall Sconces
Wall Sconces
Wall Sconces are a stylish way to provide general illumination in a variety of rooms. Commonly, Littman Bros. lighting experts will recommend wall sconces in Hallways, Foyers, and Dining Rooms. The intention is to provide additional ambiance and mood lighting while also offering functional illumination.
Hanging Wall Sconces:
For installations where there is not an existing junction box or hanging bracket, there are a few factors to consider when determining the appropriate hanging height of a Wall Sconce. Generally, it is recommended to hang a light source (bulb) 60 inches from the floor. Each room and fixture is different so here are a couple things to consider in order to ensure ideal illumination:

Honesdale police, public works seek council action
December 11, 2013 —
The bulk of action requests received at the Honesdale Borough Council's meeting on December 9 came not from the public but from its own officials. Icy roads kept public attendance sparse, so only the few routine public requests received by correspondence were considered at the monthly meeting chaired by Vice President James Brennan, in President F. J. Monaghan's absence. Newly-appointed Police Commissioner Rick Southerton and Director of Public Works Richard Doney described exasperating situations that they regard as dangerously unacceptable, asking the council for action to remedy them.
Doney pointed out that the council's action last year to grant overnight street parking to borough residents (from 2–6 a.m.) has wrought havoc with snow removal efforts on all streets except those already designated as snow emergency routes. Reminding the council that he had voiced opposition to the plan for that very reason when the decision was originally made, Doney stated that, unless the decision is reversed, it is only a matter of time before one of his plow trucks damages a parked car and/or accidentally injures or kills somebody. Doney cited the 80-plus year ban on overnight parking as an ordinance that has stood the test of time; he asked that it be restored, effective immediately.
Brennan countered Doney's request with the reasoning behind the lifting of the overnight parking ban: many borough residents lack off-street parking and need to leave their cars on the street overnight. Acknowledging Doney's concerns as legitimate, Brennan nevertheless urged that borough residents be given time to become fully informed of winter-month limitations on overnight parking. For more information on winter-month overnight parking regulations, visit honesdaleborough.com/hats-new/.
Southerton asked the council to approve hiring of a full-time clerk-typist to man the police department's Main Street office Monday through Friday during normal business hours. Pointing out that the borough's police force is currently critically short-staffed, with three officers out for unspecified reasons, Southerton justified the request as a reasonable response to public complaints that the police department is currently inaccessible by phone or at its office. Given the current officer shortage, Southerton said that he could not afford to deploy an officer to man the office and its phones. The council opined that there would be insufficient paperwork to keep the clerk-typist busy full-time and suggested that his/her services be shared with another department. A resolution authorizing advertisement of the position was passed.

Security officers at a West Towne Mall store were threatened with scissors by a man they suspected of theft, according to Madison police.
Johnnie J. Pilgrim, 38, was arrested on suspicion of retail theft while armed after a confrontation outside the Sears store Thursday afternoon.
Two male Sears security officers, ages 29 and 38, told police they followed Pilgrim out of the store after he stole a watch. They said they asked the man to turn over the watch and noticed he was armed. They told police they thought the man had a knife and later learned it was a scissors.
The security guards said Pilgrim threatened to "slice" them.

Have you heard of "Icing"? Icing is the new trend among frat boys, hipsters or really just anyone missing a chromosome. Made popular by the site BrosIcingBros.com (a site devoted to pictures of Bros getting "Iced"), Icing is a drinking game for bros (and chick-bros), where the point is to make other bros drink Smirnoff Ice "against their will, at ridiculously inopportune times." According to BrosIcingBros's Teddy Broosevelt, the rules are simple:
Daniel O'Brien is a Professor of Shorty-Ricin' at Columbia University.
The Game It's a slightly more complicated drinking game than the ones we had when I was in college ("Hey look, a beer. Drink that beer." [And then whoever saw the beer drank that beer until there wasn't beer anymore. And then we either chased girls, ate Pop Tarts or yelled at the basketball players on our televisions.]), and it looks to be infinitely less enjoyable, due both to its association with Smirnoff Ice, as well as the fact that it has forced me to casually type words like "bro" and "Iced" an amount of times well beyond my comfort level. Essentially, at any time during any day, a bro can walk up to you with a Smirnoff Ice and you have to drink it in an accordance with the complex laws set forth by the Sacred Order of Elder Bros that governs all future bros for all broternity. Even if you have to go to work, or if you're about to give a big speech, or if you're delivering a baby, you have to drink that Ice if a bro ices you (during which he'd yell "You got Iced, bro," or "Ice Ice Broby" or "I pooped in my overalls again" or some such). If you aren't prepared with an Ice Block (why would you be?), and you don't drink that Ice, the bros will… fire you from brodom, or look at your butt or make you eat gay or… something, I don't know, I was never really familiar with Standard Bro Bylaws.
Still, it's shockingly popular. This How-to-Ice video has over 20,000 views and is steadily growing. Pointless or not, Icing is sweeping the nation for people both in and out of college. So people with, like, jobs or families or whatever will still have to take a knee and chug some Smirnoff Liquid Urinal Cakes whenever they get Iced.
The Drink There's a reason Smirnoff Ice was chosen in a drinking game the object of which is not to drink: Smirnoff Ice is terrible. It is Limeade-scented Clown Sweat in a bottle. One flavor of Smirnoff Ice is just Sunshine Punch Kool-Aid mixed with farts. For Raspberry Burst Smirnoff, they put rubbing alcohol and Good n' Plenty in a blender and flushed it down a prison toilet. It's like someone wiped their ass with a pear and stapled it to your tongue. One time a convicted rapist fucked a produce section and the result was Pomegranate Fusion Smirnoff Ice. It's like someone force-fed a fruit cup to a cow and then took it back out four stomachs in. Smirnoff Ice tastes like someone dropped a tube of strawberry lipsmackers into a bucket of cologne. You'd think someone dug up Carmen Miranda's corpse and fermented it in an old paint can but it's actually an Ice. If Jolly Ranchers could piss, it would taste like Strawberry Acai Smirnoff Ice.
Smirnoff Ice is a bad tasting beverage. The Founders The only thing that might be more unsettling than Smirnoff Gecko Piss is the fact that it was founded by total tools. I'm not a snob. In fact, I'm kind of an idiot. On my best day, I am a series of grunts and mustard stains in a pair of borrowed underwear. It's not exactly like I have high tastes or crave sophisticated games, or anything. I love doing and making my friends do stupid things and lost all of my dignity at the exact moment I started my career in a field that deals exclusively with dick jokes. Icing is totally the kind of game I can get behind in theory, but the folks responsible for the game make that impossible. There's an interview with one of the founders of BrosIcingBros that both makes me hate this game unquestionably and confirms my suspicion that I'm the only good human left. Here are some highlights: "There is no form of Icing that is off limits; the more creative and less convenient for your bros the better. We've had bros getting Iced before going to work, at work, studying for an exam, right before an exam, at graduation, while driving cars, before a soccer game, etc..." [Emphasis mine.] "The most creative that I've seen so far is Saran-Wrapping an Ice to the toilet of a hungover bro, or an Ice that has been tied to a dog and sent to see his broner (bro owner)." [Emphasis mine, retarded portmanteau his.] "Icing forces you to live in a constant state of fear of being Iced, but it is rewarded when you see the face of your bro when you block his Ice. I have personally found myself carrying an Ice just about everywhere, maybe even two - one so I can Ice a bro and another so I can block an Ice if a bro thinks I'm out." Never have I seen or heard "bro" used so often, so casually and with so much un-ironic pride. I tried to reprint the whole interview, but our blog publishing software refused to believe that a document containing 1,052 repetitions of the word "bro" wasn't some kind of virus or seizure on the part of the author. The game sounds like so much fun on paper, but as soon as you see videos of the morons who actually play it, you can't help but feel bad about yourself, the players and, in a larger sense, all of humanity. That video I linked is one of the most uncomfortable forced-Icings I've ever seen. It's like a slow, documented rape, except the dick is watermelon-flavored and we're all technically victims for having watched.
"Don't make this weird. You have to take the whole thing or we are going to have a problem. Just take it, deal with it, and move on."Also, "Broner" was a word I came up for in the early 2000s that I used to describe an erection that two frat guys get when they wrestle each other. I am more than a little resentful that they stole it from me and repurposed it for their stupid game for jerks. Is This Game Worth It? That's the big question. There are so many creative ways to get someone to stumble upon Smirnoff Ice that it's almost a good time. The problem is, all of the fun is in the execution. If you win, you have to watch someone drink Green Apple Smirnoff Pineapple Shit, and if you lose, you have to drink it. That's really lose-lose. The basic essential rule to any drinking game is that you should at least enjoy the drinking part. With Icing, you're just having a miserable time, but with rules. And as long as you're doing that, you might as well get creative. Which brings us to… Making Your Own Stupid Freaking Game Want to create your own pointless, nation-sweeping game? The ingredients are fairly simple: Impossibly Easy and Accessible Action + Objectively Terrible Punishment + Maddening System of Language - Any Previous Sense of Self Worth Your New Game! Once you commit the formula to memory, it's only a matter of filling in the blanks. I've created a few samples below. HOMIES BRUSHIN' HOMIES Walk around with a toothbrush in your pocket. When you see one of your Homies, shove that toothbrush in his face and tell that fool he got a BRUSH WITH GREATNESS. He then has to brush his teeth with toothpaste and drink a full liter of grapefruit juice. (If no one has ever had grapefruit juice after brushing their teeth, I'll tell you, it is the worst thing.) Check your watch, because it's time to get your Brush on! SHORTIES RICIN' SHORTIES When you see one of your buddies come up, raise your fist like you're about to punch him. If he flinches, it is time for that punk to get RICED! Basically that means he has to eat a Rice Krispie Treat wrapped in a condom. I hope you like your privacy because you about to lose a lot of friends playing this game! BEBUS SPOOKING BEBUS! OK, so this is a game for just you and your BeBus (totes short for "Best Buds"). You wait for your BeBu and, when he least expects it, you jump out and scare him, just totes supes scream in his BeBu face. If your BeBu gasps, or shrieks or totes completes yells or whatevs, then he loses! You done SPOOKED THE BEBU! His punishment? He has to kill one of his pets. But if he doesn't yell, then you have to kill one of your beloved pets. Get ready to feel totes like an elephant because you will never forget this moment. Bring a sweater because, after you watch a kitten die, you'll always feel cold. Forever. Totes Forevs Petocaust! DAWG NUT-BLASTERS Go up to your best dawg and give him a nice "Sup" head nod. If he says anything that rhymes with "nut," (like "what" or "butt"), then you get to punch him in the nuts and say "Nu-nu-nu-nu-NUT BLASTER." That dawg just got his nuts blasted! You don't have to worry about doing the Dawg Nut-Blaster to women because you don't know any. SOMETHING SOMETHING RAT POISON You call your friends "Dongmeister" and make them eat rat poison. This is less of a game for you and more of a way for me to THIN THE HERD OF IDIOTS ON EARTH, but that still shouldn't stop you from trying your very hardest. You can be the best!

Chrissie's a winner, plain and simple
The Plain English campaign has proved it has staying power after its founder scooped a top gong at the Women in Public Life Awards.
Chrissie Maher OBE, from the organisation based in New Mills, was named winner in the public affairs category at a glitzy ceremony at the Northumberland Hotel, London.

The annual awards are coming and the jargon is pouring in - particularly a number of nominations for Emma Thompson, the actress, who recently spoke out against the sloppy language of teenagers.
You can read a report of her comments in the Mail Online.
It must be the first time that the same person and the same comment has been nominated for both the good and bad categories of our awards. And that divided public opinion is reflected within the campaign's offices.

The housing market is being attacked on all fronts with buyers struggling to get mortgages and house prices dropping by £200 each day in the last month alone.
This means the rental market is under greater pressure.Tenants and landlords are faced with worrying contractual responsibilities. Landlords face the possibility of being caught with a tenant and no rent as a result of unemployment and redundancies. Equally, tenants face confusion over their responsibilities in times of crisis. And where there is confusion, there is opportunity for some to take advantage of the vulnerable – whether landlords or tenants.
Plain English and the HMRC

Plain English won't solve this one, but plain common sense is a start
Despite the current tax-code fiasco, and the ensuing media backlash, in the last 15 years Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs (HMRC) have made some surprising and impressive improvements to their communications with taxpayers.
When Plain English Campaign started, we were involved with reviewing hundreds of thousands of government documents. Some of these documents included tax information and we were proud to welcome HMRC on board as one of our earliest corporate members. We eventually worked on a major document
- 'How to fill in your tax return' - in 1996 and have trained many HMRC employees since then.
This gives us all the more reason to feel extremely disappointed by recent public communications from HMRC, as those early years of investment and effort appear to have been forgotten.
Chrissie Maher, founder of Plain English Campaign, says, 'This isn't the first time that the campaign has had to give the tax system a good shaking.
Only a couple of years ago we provided a plain English explanation of the 10p tax band after we were overwhelmed with complaints from the public.
