The tips and information in this slideshow come from the Federal Trade Commission, which works to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop and avoid them.
Scam artists in the U.S. and around the world defraud millions of people each year. They use the phone, email, postal mail, and the internet to trick you into sending money or giving out personal information.
Here are 10 things that can help you avoid a scam.
1: Know who you're dealing with.
You should try to find a seller's physical address (not a P.O. Box) and phone number. With internet phone services and other web-based technologies, it's tough to tell where someone is calling from. Do an online search for the company name and website, and look for reviews. If people report negative experiences, you'll have to decide if the offer is worth the risk. After all, a deal is good only if you get a product that actually works as promised.
2: Know that wiring money is like sending cash.
Con artists often insist that people wire money, especially overseas, because it's nearly impossible to reverse the transaction or trace the money. Don't wire money to strangers, to sellers who insist on wire transfers for payment, or to anyone who claims to be a relative or friend in an emergency and wants to keep the request a secret.
3: Read your monthly statements.
Scammers steal account information and then run up charges or commit crimes in your name. Dishonest merchants bill you for monthly "membership fees" and other goods or services without your authorization. If you see charges you don't recognize or didn't okay, contact your bank, card issuer, or other creditor immediately.
4: After a disaster, give only to established charities.
In the aftermath of a disaster, give to an established charity, rather than one that has sprung up overnight. Pop-up charities probably don't have the infrastructure to get help to the affected areas or people, and they could be collecting the money to finance illegal activity. For more donating tips, check out ftc.gov/charityfraud.
5: Talk to your doctor before you buy health products or treatments.
Ask about research that supports a product's claims — and possible risks or side effects. In addition, buy prescription drugs only from licensed U.S. pharmacies. Otherwise, you could end up with products that are fake, expired, or mislabeled — in short, products that could be dangerous to your health. Learn more about buying health products online.
6: Remember there's no sure thing in investing.
If someone contacts you with low-risk, high-return investment opportunities, stay away. When you hear pitches that insist you act now, that guarantee big profits, that promise little or no financial risk, or that demand that you send cash immediately, report them at ftc.gov.
7: Don't send money to someone you don't know. Not to an online seller you've never heard of — or an online love interest who asks for money. It's best to do business with sites you know and trust. If you buy items through an online auction, consider using a payment option that provides protection, like a credit card.
Never pay fees first for the promise of a big pay-off later — whether it's for a loan, a job, a grant or a so-called prize.
8: Don't agree to deposit a check and wire money back.
By law, banks have to make funds from deposited checks available within days, but uncovering a fake check can take weeks. You're responsible for the checks you deposit: If a check turns out to be a fake, you're responsible for paying back the bank. No matter how convincing the story, someone who overpays with a check is almost certainly a scam artist.
9: Don't reply to messages asking for personal or financial information.
It doesn't matter whether the message comes as an email, a phone call, a text message, or an ad. Don't click on links or call phone numbers included in the message, either. It's called phishing. The crooks behind these messages are trying to trick you into revealing sensitive information. If you got a message like this and you are concerned about your account status, call the number on your credit or debit card — or your statement — and check on it.
10: Don't play a foreign lottery.
It's illegal to play a foreign lottery. And yet messages that tout your chances of winning a foreign lottery, or messages that claim you've already won, can be tempting. Inevitably, you have to pay "taxes," "fees," or "customs duties" to collect your prize. If you must send money to collect, you haven't won anything. And if you send any money, you will lose it. You won't get any money back, either, regardless of promises or guarantees.
If you think you may have been scammed: File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.

"Do you remember the hospital, Colton?" Sonja said. "Yes, mommy, I remember," he said. "That's where the angels sang to me."
When Colton Burpo made it through an emergency appendectomy, his family was overjoyed at his miraculous survival. What they weren't expecting, though, was the story that emerged in the months that followed—a story as beautiful as it was extraordinary, detailing their little boy's trip to heaven and back.
Colton, not yet four years old, told his parents he left his body during the surgery - and authenticated that claim by describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital while he was being operated on. He talked of visiting heaven and relayed stories told to him by people he met there whom he had never met in life, sharing events that happened even before he was born. He also astonished his parents with descriptions and obscure details about heaven that matched the Bible exactly, though he had not yet learned to read. With disarming innocence and the plainspoken boldness of a child, Colton tells of meeting long-departed family members. He describes Jesus, the angels, how "really, really big" God is, and how much God loves us.
Retold by his father, but using Colton's uniquely simple words, Heaven Is for Real offers a glimpse of the world that awaits us, where, as Colton says, "Nobody is old and nobody wears glasses."

©2010 Todd Burpo (P)2010 Oasis
I can find a book to love in any genre -- a beautifully written classic, an interesting mystery or sci-fi, a trashy romance. Bring it!
"Enjoyable, yes. Believable? Um...no"
STORY (personal memoir) - Heard great things about the movie, so had to at least listen to the book. As you can see from the title, this story is about a four-year-old boy, Colton Burpo, who goes to the hospital, has a near-death experience, goes to heaven and comes back. I really wanted to love this story and hoped it would lay to rest some burning questions...but it just didn't. It starts with a great interview with Todd Burpo (dad). Then the story begins by enumerating a lot of the health problems he had been having and how these tested his faith. Then it moves to little Colton's mysterious illness and all the hours the family spent trying to get him cured. Poor Colton really suffered for a couple weeks, and his parents suffered right along with him. After Colton comes home from the hospital, he starts revealing little things that start suggesting that perhaps he had been to heaven. I thoroughly enjoyed and believed the book till somewhere around his fourth or fifth revelation. Then we get to what made the story less believable...
First off, Colton's father is a pastor, so if little Colton says something like, "Hey, Dad, I saw an angel," Pastor Burpo starts comparing what Colton says to something in the Bible that supposedly validates his story. Second, almost everything Colton revealed went like this, "Hey, Dad"... (insert religious fact here) ... "and then he went off to play with his action heroes and left us standing there aghast." Thirdly, it's like nothing is left out, it's too perfect. Colton supposedly saw Jesus and God and John the Baptist and Mary and angels and the devil and golden streets and thrones and blah, blah. Then Colton starts repeating "Jesus loves us all" all the time. Sounds just like reading a religious pamphlet. It would have been much more believable had his dad not been a pastor with so much to gain by preaching every chance he got and if everything weren't tied up with a perfect little Bible bow.
I'll sum up by saying that Pastor Burpo sounds like a genuinely nice guy and I am not calling him a liar. I'm just saying this story was not 100% believable when heard with MY ears and processed through MY brain. It was, however, a short, enjoyable listen.
PERFORMANCE - Read by a male who did a pretty good job, especially when portraying young Colton.
OVERALL - I'd recommend this for anyone who might be interested in the subject matter, and you can make up your own mind whether you believe the story or not. It's interesting and entertaining, if nothing else. Probably should be previewed before letting younger children listen, mainly because of all Colton's suffering in the hospital.
"Heaven is For Real"
Not as compelling as expected.
Perhaps telling the story chronologically rather than bouncing back and forth.
Probably not.
"More about the Dad than the Kid"
No two ways about it, the information FROM the boy was very interesting. The book, however, is a preacher's vehicle. I'm glad the story was made available but probably would have benefited more from a point of view that didn't reference everything the boy told them to the author's own line of work.
If, however, you are involved in any christian philosophy and enjoy sermons with a positive message, this is the book for you.
"Not really what I thought it would be"
I am a Christian and truly believe in heaven. I wish the book was more focused the little boy. I think the father tries too hard to prove this really happened. Not sure I would recommend, but it did give me hope that I will be reunited with those I love.
"Great Story, Not So Good Narrator"
I enjoyed the story but it was tough to listen to this narrator. He emphasizes each word which makes it come across too childish. Just because the story features a child doesn't mean you need to read it like you are speaking to a first grade class. The emotions from this reader seemed like someone reading a Christmas tale, and not a serious spiritual story. Sorry, but I cringed through this. For some this may not be so terrible.. just depends if you like this guy's reading style.
This story would be a lot easier to believe if the father was not a pastor. Is it just a fiction? if so, if should not be presented as fact.
"Unbelievable (and not in a good way)"
Too many contradictions and ridiculous suppositions. This isn't the little boys story... it's the parents story. Seems a shame to use your son to make money. Not worth the money or the time.
""as dad puts it""
I was sincerely disappointed in this book. If I'd have know that this was the father (...pastor's...) recollection, opinion and analysis of what happened I would not have wasted time or money on this book. I would have just rented it from the library. It may seem cynical but I have trouble with the way he twisted and justified everything that he wrote with scripture instead of leaving the reader to interpret.
"Heaven is for Real"
a little skeptical... not about heaven, but the father trying to put his own interpretation and comparison to scripture and the fact that he (father) is a pastor/minister
"Wow. No skeptic, me."
It is obvious from the reviews that there is a split between believers of the Bible and skeptics. As a believer, I would have been terribly disappointed if the father had not referred to the appropriate scriptures. I knew immediately that the boy was spot on with scripture but I didn't have to look them up before listening further to the boy's story. There is no doubt in my mind that this boy went to heaven. Any believer could tell you that, unless the whole thing is a scam, which I do not believe it is, this boy saw heaven and did not hear these things at home. For one thing, a child that age would not have grasped the significance of what he saw, even if he had heard the stories. Some of these things are argued about by theologians even today. The boy's simple descriptions blew the complicated descriptions of theologians right out of the water. The father did exactly what I would have done: make sure the descriptions matched the scriptures. No believer wants their child to have misinformation about its spiritual future. No child could have had such understanding at that age. The descriptions are very simple, yet very deep. Much too advanced for a child to have figured out without actually seeing it. The skeptics seem to believe that the father put his own "interpretation" on the boy's story or on scripture. He did not. He simply read the scriptures and said what they obviously say. The boy "got it" from seeing it. I am grateful that the pastor/father wrote this book and shared what his son said. I would not have wanted to miss it.
"Great story"
I have listened to this book twice and have recommended it to several people. It is not great literature but it is a good story. To my English ear, the accent of the reader is too broad and in terms of the story, it takes too long to get to Colton's experience of heaven. But on the whole the message carries great hope. I have lost three people this year and the book strongly encourages me to believe I will see them all again.
"Breathless! I want more of Jesus"
What a great story. Glad it's through a child's eyes, so unspoiled and pure... God's magnificent love demonstrated through the miraculous
"I didn't finish it"
I found the constant religious references frustrating - maybe that info is on the back cover of the printed book and if I had flicked through a printed copy I may have noticed it then, but I didn't notice it when looking at it on Audible.
I believe that this story did happen as read, but it didn't live up to my expectations of it. I didn't finish it - I guess there was no 'unknown' about the story to keep me interested.
Very disappointed with this book because I had high hopes.
This is the story of a four year old boy w
ho nearly died and apparently experienced heaven.
Read by the boys father who insists on speaking like a little boy whenever he quotes his son and does a lady voice when quoting his wife neither of which add to the story and becomes quite irritating.
There is some unnecessary padding out in the book including a chapter that describes a family day out in detail that has no relevance to the theme of the book.
My biggest problem with the story is that the child's experience of heaven happens to fit exactly with the child's fathers opinion of what heaven should be like. Repeatedly the father (who is pastor) states that as adults we KNOW that heaven is full of angels with wings, Jesus is there wearing a crown and a sash and other characters from the bible are also there. He keeps saying "how could I child know what is in heaven unless he had been there".
The child also makes statements like the only way to get to heaven is through Christ - this is really narrow minded old school theory. Presumably there are no Muslims or Hindu's in heaven then?
This account is purely a case of seeing and hearing what you want to see and hear.

CRYSTAL LAKE – The crown jewel of the city's parks, Three Oaks Recreation Area, has garnered the attention of the state when it was named a Governor's Hometown Award recipient.
The recreation area won in its division that included communities with a population between 25,001 and 70,000.
"It's a very high honor to receive this award," Mayor Aaron Shepley said at a recent City Council meeting in which the award was announced. "It's reflected favorably on the city staff who have put their heart and soul into this project, and members of [the City] Council."
"It's a great honor and I couldn't be happier," the Mayor continued.
A $14 million project, Three Oaks Recreation Area opened in 2010 after transforming the former Vulcan Materials gravel pits into a 500-acre beach, park and recreation area.
Three Oaks Recreation Area includes a swim beach, rental marina, trails, and picnic grounds.

With its all-new 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible, General Motors has just announced that it has built the world's most powerful roofless production model ever. The new high-power drop-top will be officially revealed at the Los Angeles Auto Show next month.
The convertible Camaro shares its underpinnings with the upcoming Camaro ZL1 Coupe and is scheduled to reach showrooms from late 2012. Powering the convertible is GM's 6.2-litre supercharged LSA V8 engine producing 432 kW and 754 Nm of torque.
General Motors was quick to point out that its drop top Camaro ZL1 has more power output than Euro performance models like the Aston Martin DB9 with 350kW and the Porsche 911 Turbo with 395kW. However models like the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport were conveniently forgotten about.
"The Camaro ZL1 convertible will be one of the most powerful and most capable, convertibles available at any price," said Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer. "This is a car that is guaranteed to put a smile on your face every time you drop the top – or hit the gas." Continue reading "2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 convertible unveiled with 432 kW engine" »

From Our National Tragedy, a Path Forward in Service
Blog Categories:
United We Serve
Eleven years later and the tide has surely turned, at least in one very significant way. The anniversary of September 11th is no longer only a day known for a horrific tragedy on our national landscape. It is now also America's largest day of charitable service and good deeds, in honor of my late brother and all those who perished that sunny September morning.
And that is gratifying. That is healing. That is a way to say to those whose intent was to destroy us, "You do not own this day, we do. We are devoting this day to make life better for those in need, to reaffirm our freedoms and our compassion for others, despite your efforts to the contrary."
In April 2009 President Barack Obama signed into law Congress' bipartisan Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, which included a provision that established the anniversary of September 11th now and forever as a National Day of Service and Remembrance. This federal recognition gave great and lasting momentum to an observance advocated for years by the 9/11 community and which included the participation of people throughout the world.
Flash-forwarding two years, the notion of pitching in on 9/11 has truly taken hold – in 2011 more than 30 million people marked the day by helping people and communities in need and performing a countless array of other good deeds.
Surely, such behavior makes sense. It is meaningful and productive and forward-looking. It reflects the wonderful collective spirit of community and compassion people all over the world demonstrated in the immediate aftermath of the attacks. Then, we put aside our differences, especially our politics, and came together as one to rebound from this despicable attack on humanity.
My life changed forever on September 11, 2001. My brother Glenn J. Winuk, a partner at the law firm Holland & Knight LLP, was murdered by the terrorists who attacked our nation. Situated just a block and a half from the site of the World Trade Center, Glenn helped evacuate his law offices, and then raced west toward the South Tower to participate in the rescue effort. He died when that building collapsed. Glenn's partial remains were recovered about six months later, a borrowed medic bag by his side.
For almost 20 years Glenn was a volunteer firefighter and EMT in our hometown of Jericho, NY. He had also served as a fire commissioner and as an officer of Engine Company 2, and was highly decorated. Specially certified in building collapse rescue training, no one was more prepared or willing to race into those towering infernos than my kid brother. Dead at 40.
Firefighters are a special breed. We all know that. Not everyone has what it takes to do what they choose to do for the rest of us. What amazes me most about firefighters, volunteer and non-volunteer alike, is that they do what they do for people they do not know. And that is indeed impressive, given the risks they face. But each of us can be heroic in countless ways that do not include risk of any kind. And that's what 9/11 Day is all about.
9/11 Day is becoming a global phenomenon. People from 165 nations have visited our website to register their pledges to serve on 9/11, find out about good deed opportunities in their own communities, connect with others who share similar cause-related passions, or to learn more about and donate to support the observance. There's really nothing quite like it.
The 9/11 Day observance this year will be extraordinary, and is supported by the Corporation for National and Community Service, which is dedicating a wide array of resources throughout the nation to facilitate volunteerism and service on the anniversary. It is also supported by the 9/11 community; numerous corporations; nonprofits; faith-based organizations; municipalities across America; grade schools, colleges and universities; associations; legislative leaders; celebrities and countless individuals.
9/11 Day presents a unique opportunity. On this one day each year to stand shoulder to shoulder with people throughout the world and say this is the path forward. This is how we collectively will help make the world a better place to be.

Bloody Mary AspicNovember 18, 2012 at 11:51 am | Posted in Alcohol, Beer, Booze, Garlic, HotSauce, Olive, Pickle, Pimento, Recipe, TomatoJuice, Vodka, WorcestershireSauce | 10 Comments

This year for my Thanksgiving jello I wanted to do something retro. A take on the very vintage Tomato Aspic that your Grandmother may have brought to the Thanksgiving dinner table but with the added twist of booze. Its made with all the classic Bloody Mary components: tomato juice, vodka, beer, garlic, Worcestershire, and hot sauce, plus green olives suspended throughout. Initially I wanted make this recipe just for fun, but it turned out to be pretty good. I thought about adding some shrimp cocktail into the mix but figured I should just quit while I was ahead. If you're not into this recipe try some of my other Thanksgiving favorites here and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

July 31, 2013 —
TOWN OF BETHEL, NY — Emerald ash borers, those invasive bugs from Asia that are devouring millions of ash trees in the Northeast and Midwest in the United States, have now been discovered in locations in Orange, Ulster and Delaware counties, and it's only a matter of time before they turn up in Sullivan.
On July 30, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a member of the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition & Forestry Committee, asked U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack for additional funding to help research, control and eradicate the emerald ash borer, an invasive insect threatening the 900 million ash trees in New York and up to 7.5% of trees in the United States.
Gillibrand's letter said, "I am writing concerning the recent news that the emerald ash borer is now confirmed to be present in 15 counties in New York State… The insect was first reported in Western New York over four years ago, threatening nearby state parks and forests. The most recent news that Otsego and Delaware counties have been added to the list of infested counties in New York State does not give me confidence that the spread of this harmful insect will be subsiding any time soon." She said the spread of the insect will only be stopped with resources from the federal government.
In Pennsylvania, the insect has been found in 43 counties, including Wyoming and Bradford, but so far none has been discovered in Wayne and Pike. Since first being discovered in Michigan in 2007, the insect has spread to 23 states and two Canadian provinces.
Because of the infestations, many states including New York and Pennsylvania are enforcing quarantines on the movement of firewood, and studies of biological controls of the insect are underway in multiple states.
Gillibrand said she is concerned about damage caused to forestry operations and also some industries, as ash trees provide the preferred wood for a number of products, including baseball bats.

What to Do Before Your Employees' Gossip Goes Viral
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- These days you'd be hard pressed to find a professional job seeker without a profile on LinkedIn (LNKD) , a Facebook (FB) page or a Twitter account. It's obvious the way we communicate has changed -- but should it affect the way we hire and manage employees?
An overwhelming majority of companies -- 92% -- use social media to recruit, according to a recent survey by Jobvite. But what happens once an employment offer is made? There are no definitive rules on how to manage social media in the workplace, but there are steps you can take to ensure your employees and your lawyers "like" your policies and #understandtherules.
We checked in with legal and workplace experts to find answers to some of the most frequently asked workplace social media questions.
Break this down for me. What are the do's and don'ts of social media in the workplace?
"There is no hard and fast rule," says Anthony Rainone, employment law partner at Brach Eichler in Roseland, NJ.
In a situation where employees are fighting over social media, Rainone says that discipline depends on what was said.
"The easy situation is one employee making physically threatening remarks to another employee," he says. "In that case, an employer should feel comfortable disciplining or terminating the threatening employee."
Those situations are rare, though. The most common situation is much harder to combat.
"The more common situation is one employee making a comment about or to another employee via a Facebook post. Then the issues that arise include whether the comment constitutes unlawful harassment and whether the employer had knowledge of the harassment."
Other issues include whether the comment was made by a supervisory employee and if the employer had knowledge of the harassing statement and did not act promptly with disciplinary action.
That sounds complicated. What should employers do as a baseline to keep themselves safe before problems arise?
"We usually recommend employers of all sizes incorporate a social media usage policy into their employment and procedures manual," Rainone says. "This is something even a five-employee business should have."
But the policy must be crafted so as not interfere with employees' rights. For example, even if your employees have fought about touchy topics such as politics and religion, it's not OK to restrict them from posting those items.
"I would caution against such broad policies in the case of an employee's personal social media account," Rainone says. "When employers try to take action based upon lawful employee activities outside of the workplace -- however distasteful they may be -- they are taking an unnecessary risk of litigation."
Another good rule of thumb employers and management should keep in mind is not to "friend" any subordinate employees on Facebook. LinkedIn, however, is OK for employees of any level to connect, he says.

"Have you noticed any ghosts?" seems like a fair question to put to the residents of a house that has spent 200 years providing shelter and comfort to a veritable pageant of generations. Eight years ago, John and Dawn Harvey fell in love with and purchased the historical Wilmot House, also known as the Solomon Moore House, on Old Wayne Street in Bethany, PA. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to its fame as the birthplace of David Wilmot, author of the Wilmot Proviso, a document that is widely credited with being the forerunner of the 13th Amendment. (See: legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Wilmot+Proviso)
"John loves the history of this house," Dawn explains. "I love the architecture, the way it feels connected to the past."
The flagstone front steps; the fieldstone foundation; original handmade windows of Bethany Glass, tiny bubbles and waves observable in the windowpanes; and the stonework flowerbeds all conspire to create that connection to the past. Master carpenter John Gustin built the house in 1811 for Solomon Moore, who added a single-story addition for his store and the borough's first post office. In 1814, Randall and Mary Wilmot bought the house from Moore and lived there for several years.
The dark red, wood-sided house, with its handsome, black shutters, sits on one acre of lawn, which expands into the back yard past a roofed porch and beds of flowering bulbs and perennials. Beyond the period-style garage/studio, erected by previous owner Alex Baker, the lawn gently rolls to the forest's edge. The original stone (dug) well is still on the property, complete with roof, rope and bucket. The well covering was rebuilt to match pictures from the 1930s.
"Actually, this well came in very handy when we had the hurricane and had no power and, of course, no water," said John.
As we round the house to enter the front door, the Harveys' gray cat poses beneath a carved and painted wooden sign above an entrance to the cellar, the house's original kitchen. "The Old Abolitionist" announces the sign, a pointed reference to its most famously honored, previous historical resident. Now dubbed "The Pub" by the Harveys, it currently serves as a meeting place for John's book club.
The front entrance is a comfortable distance from the road and a short distance away from a hitching post—a tall, headstone-shaped rock with a metal ring attached. "It has been said," offers Dawn, "that when the five daughters of a previous owner were growing up, you might see five horses tied to this ring at one time, all prospective suitors coming to visit."
The dentil molding above the solid wood door is repeated throughout the interior. The doorbell is marked with an 1867 patent and is still in working condition. Glancing at the ascending staircase (one of two), we enter the first room on the right.
The Harveys' dining room—the original family's living room—features the fanciest molding in the house and a shallow, European-style red brick fireplace, framed by a colonial-style, carved mantel of gray painted wood. The floorboards in this room and others are the original tight-grained, wide planks of chestnut and basswood. Paintings and decorative plates adorn the painted walls. Above the wooden table hangs a pewter gray, metal chandelier with candle shaped electric bulbs.
Across the hallway, we step down a two-inch ramp into the pine-floored, one-story addition. The original door to Solomon Moore's general store was sealed off years ago, and the room has become a comfortable living room. The original fireplace is now gas. Dawn comments, "In between seasons, we heat the house using only this stove and the stove in the kitchen."
"These rooms are beautifully illumined by the natural afternoon light," John says. "The people who lived here would have been conscious of retaining the day's light as long as possible before they'd have to light their lamps in the evening."
Adjoining the living room is John's office, which opens through glass-paned doors onto the covered porch that had been millwright Mortimer E. Lavo's workshop. The office was renovated from a bedroom and closet. Bookshelves line the walls. Photographs show the outside of the house virtually unchanged to this day.
A narrow staircase takes us to the loft area of the addition, housing a small spare room and larger guestroom. Before we leave the loft, John draws our attention to a child's scrawled picture of George Washington. The image drawn on bare wall is framed by molding nailed around it during the 1995 renovations. John reads the caption to us, "Bethany Jan 1 George Washington," and adds, "We just honor and protect it. Who knows what the true story on that is? It could have been little David's."
The upstairs loft area is separate from the upstairs main area, so we descend the narrow staircase and climb the main stairway to the bedrooms above. This staircase has beautifully crafted rails and banisters of Honduran mahogany, ending at a wide hallway.
Both bedrooms feature wide plank wood floors, and the bathroom (formerly the sewing room) has a clawfoot tub. An unusual feature of the bedrooms is their spacious closets. Most houses of this period had small or no closets, using wooden wardrobes instead.
Artworks abound. Dawn opens the door of a cabinet that sits under a window in the hallway to display the hidden radiator. The attractive radiator covers were crafted by previous owner Alex Baker.
John and Dawn agree that the house is comfortably warm in winter, due mostly to the insulation added during the major renovation. Since the Bethany Glass windows are single pane, the Harveys use temporary storm windows for extra protection against cold.
We head down to the back of the house, where the Harveys have their kitchen, originally the dining room. Though the kitchen retains a colonial feel, with its large fireplace, plank floors and original windows, it has modern appliances. A bathroom has replaced the old pantry, which has moved into one of the closets beside the fireplace. The other closet is home to the refrigerator. "I like the history, but there's nothing like modern wiring and plumbing," says Dawn.
Once more we descend. This time, we feel the air grow colder, and I am reminded again of spectres and spirits. Almost entirely underground, the fieldstone cellar was the original kitchen. A large meat hook hangs threateningly from the ceiling. "Tall people have to be careful," John warns, with a smile. "The Pub" is furnished with comfortable chairs, where people can gather casually before the large stone fireplace that extends into the room.
There are things about this house that took some getting used to, the Harveys admit, but most of them are great. There is privacy in the house. "Here, if the TV is on and you don't want to hear it," says Dawn, "you close the door. Also, we have a real sense of community on this street, which is wonderful, but if we want to feel like we live in the country, we go out back. We really like having both."
What advice would they give to someone who is considering purchasing a historical house? John answers. "I would say first step would be getting Zeke Boyle to restore it. He did a masterful job of preserving the historical characteristics and yet upgrading the house to make it livable. Here, we feel that we're custodians—that we've been given something that it's our job to care for and upgrade carefully."
Dawn's attitude is that a house should not be a museum. "I don't want to feel that my kids have to not touch anything when they come here.
"Ghosts? No, no ghosts." They both shake their heads. "You might think there would be, but no."
Sorry, but I'm not convinced.

Your Health Matters: National News
Flame Retardants and I.Q.
Story Updated: May 29, 2014
Q. points in children, study finds.
Since their introduction in the 1970's flame retardant chemicals were a common feature of furniture, electronics, and carpeting sold in the U.S. Some, but not all of the flame retardants were pulled from the market in 2004- following concerns that exposure might undermine the neurological wellbeing of children. Yet a decade later, many households still contain PBDE products.
And now new research suggests that children born to women exposed to PBDEs while pregnant face a higher risk for both hyperactive behavior and lower IQ. The finding is based on an analysis that initially involved more than 300 pregnant women ages 18 and up. All the mothers-to-be were tested for PBDE exposure between 2003 and 2006 when each woman was 4 months pregnant. Their children subsequently underwent annual neurological testing until they were 5. The results: for every 10-fold bump in maternal PBDE exposure, children showed a nearly 5-point drop in IQ alongside a 3-point jump in hyperactivity.
The researchers say their findings highlight the need to reduce exposure to PBDEs in the home and office environments via such vehicles as dust, and in diet via fish or meat products.

Post all your LeBron sh*t here...
That about sums up my arguments. LOL at the Nets!Some writing off the Knicks in LBJ sweepstakes. Not me.
July, 3, 2010
By Chris Sheridan
There are a lot of opinions out there today about who is supposedly in and out of the LeBron James sweepstakes.
Some have already written the Knicks off, and some have weighed in with actual facts about what took place in their meeting Thursday with James.
I am here to tell you that I believe the Knicks are still very much in the race, and I've gathered a little intel of my own regarding what went on behind those closed doors off 9th Street in Cleveland.
Aside from their financial pitch to James that he could most easily become a billionaire by playing in New York, the Knicks made a basketball pitch to James -- backed up with video highlights -- demonstrating how their complimentary players are better suited than anyone else's to supplement what James and the big man of his choice (Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire, David Lee, Carlos Boozer) would bring to the table.
Question: How many shooters do the Bulls have? Answer: None. Derrick Rose is a career 24 pct. 3-point shooter, and Luol Deng is at 31 percent -- the same as Wilson Chandler, who would get a lot more open looks than he did in the past in a LeBron-centric offense. The Knicks also have Danilo Gallinari, who is shooting 39 percent from 3-point range for his career. (Toney Douglas also hit 3s at a 39 percent clip last season.)
Variation of the same question: How many shooters do the Heat have? Mario Chalmers (who lost his starting job to Carlos Arroyo last season) hits 'em at a 38 percent clip. Michael Beasley is at 33 pct in his two seasons. Joel Anthony has never taken one, which merits mentioning because he, along with Beasley and Chalmers, are the only players Miami has.
Question: What possible hidden gem does Chicago have on its roster? Only Taj Gibson and James Johnson qualify, and one or both might have to be moved in a sign-and-trade in order for the Bulls to get a second max player. Compare those two to Bill Walker, who was one of the most highly recruited and touted players in the 2006-07 high school senior class that included O.J. Mayo and Rose. Walker's career was sidetracked by a serious knee injury, but he has dropped 27 pounds (from 254 to 227) since the Knicks acquired him from Boston in the Nate Robinson trade, and his knee is fully recovered.
Question: What kind of salary cap/trade deadline flexibility will the Bulls/Heat have going into the 2010-11 season? Answer: Virtually none. Chicago has to lock up Joakim Noah next summer and Rose the year after that, and Miami, if it gets two max players, can only gain flexibility for the summer of 2011 by declining the fourth-year option on Beasley's contract prior to the start of the '10-11 season. The Knicks, on the other hand, have Eddy Curry's expiring $11.3 contract to use in one of two ways: Trade it at the deadline for a player or players that would make the Knicks stronger championship contenders next spring; or let it come off the cap at the end of next season, putting the Knicks some $10-12 million under the cap for the Summer of Carmelo.
I have it on good authority that the Knicks pounded those points with James, arguing that their complimentary players are better than they've been given credit for, and that adding a third max player in 2011 is an achievable possibility.
Those are persuasive arguments, and the Cavaliers (capped out next summer because of Antawn Jamison trade) and Bulls can't make similar cases when they meet with James today in Cleveland.
And what about the Nets?
I don't count them out, but I also think their two-year temporary relocation to Newark while they await the construction of the new arena in Brooklyn is a deal-breaker.
Brian Windhorst of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, who has covered James since he was in high school, and whose mother taught math to James at St. Vincent-St.Mary high school in Akron, thought it would be a good idea a couple of Januarys ago to take an Amtrak train from Newark to Washington, D.C. while the Cavs were on an East Coast road swing.
I'll let Windhorst take it from here:
"I would describe it as an hour of staying away from the wackos and drug-addled degenerates while keeping a serious close eye on the various unsavory individuals who were an obvious threat to property and body. I went out and on the platform, where it was 15 degrees, because there was nobody else out there," Windhorst said. "I don't want to offend the Newark Chamber of Commerce, but I would never plan on doing that ever again. And I'm a big Amtrak fan."
One more question: How many media people have spoken to LeBron James about any of this? (I have tried, but he is not returning my messages.) I'd bet a dollar the answer is none.
And until The King speaks, I'm not counting anybody out.
Straws have already been drawn. After the LAL-BOS of the 80s, CHI-NY captured the nation. Wade-Lebron want to revive that rivalry.... The LAL-BOS wars of the last few years are over.... Time to get retro.
Wade wants to return home, Lebron wants NYC.
Wade picked BOsh to play with, Lebron was cool with Amar'e.
Now let's roll!
Let's battle for the next 3 years. Winner gets Kobe next season.
^^ Did you read the first post of the thread?
Another great article by Sheridan. Good points, very convincing.
Still, I voted "NO" for the one reason I think LBJ won't come to NY:
Maverick Carter.
This puke in a suit will do anything he can to keep James out of NY.
He's afraid to roll with the big boys in the Big Apple, because he's not a legit, self-made big name. Exposure is the death of all parasitic blood suckers. He's nothing and he knows it.One person with close ties to James ' "team" said the person with the most influence on James – his longtime friend and business manager, Maverick Carter – wants nothing to do with the Knicks and views remaining with the Cavs or going to Chicago to join Derrick Rose as the better options.
Trust me, this little ****er will be the soul reason LBJ goes to Chicago, or stays home.
1) The Cleveland Cavs is Lebron hometown right?
2) Lebron do have a helluva big fan-base in Cleveland right?
3) that do include family/childhood friends/and more right?
4) The Cleveland Cavs is the only NBA team that can give Lebron
a 6 year contract worth $30M more than any other team right?
With all of the 4 question above being "YES" .......
why is it that no-one has yet to mention a sign n trade for Lebron???
Theres already a LeBron thread...you guys are cluttering the forum with redundant **** and making it look mad organized and amateur. Don't take offense to that.
This is perplexing to me:
"Walsh did confirm that the Knicks' sent assistant GM Glen Grunwald to Cleveland for a second meeting with LeBron's agent, Leon Rose, on Saturday. But he said the meeting was just to clarify the team's cap situation both this year and the next.
"We didn't get into it in our first meeting the way we wanted to," Walsh said. "We just wanted to make sure they had all the information."
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
HUH? I thought we had two years to prepare? What the helsinki do you mean you wanted to clarify something you din't fell you drilled home the first time?
WOW. I hope he's just finding an excuse to downplay the second meeting, not wanting to show his hand. Because, if this is true, that you were too busy showing LJ The Sopranos and all the money he'll make off the court, but let it slip by all the cap freedom we have? WHAT? I thought that's why we cleared the payroll.
This should have been the first point you focused on. We have cap room this year and flexibility next year. This is the most attractive part of our situation, no?
You little fairy, its just really retarded to have a BILLION LeBron threads when we can all discuss the same **** all in one piece...I hate having to keep track on different threads, and a lot of normal people too.
But you're a HATING ass MAGGOT...keep fairying around the forums stalking my post and keeping tabs on me, maricon.
Here's the NYK "Blueprint" to landing "King James No.6"
"LeBron's All I Need to be a Knick," King James Blueprint Vol. 1
All I Need, is the rock, give me Amare, on the block, S.T.A.T. and King-6 on attack, I'm the M-V-P back-to-back its...
All I Need, is a billboard, 5-stories, Times Square, next to Diddy, and Rocawear its...
All I Need, is make a trade, for CP3, follow me, a 3-Star MSG show, they will pay 10-G's in the front-row its...
All I Need, is 5 cats, that know their roll, hollar back, 8-man rotation, that's gotta stand bold, its the new N-Y-K, ready to play, not just in the first-round, but all the way, to have a parade on Broadway its..
All I Need, is a coach that lives and for D (Defense)., not trying to win games by draining 3's its.. All I Need is to make my free-throws in the clutch, like the logo, to make my critics hush its... All I Need... for LeBron, to be a Knick, I'm in an "Empire State," Jay and A-Keys sings my anthem its... All I Need...

Additional artillery needed: 2 light bronze 6-pounder cannons, $26,000 each or $52,000 for a pair;
1 5.5" bronze Howitzer

Historic Area Preservation and Conservation
Masonry Preservation
Colonial Williamsburg's masons and Historic Trades brickmakers are repairing brick and stone elements of more than 40 Historic Area structures in 2013-14 including those listed below. Gifts will help fund this vital preservation work.
Booker Tenement - a "middling sort" house on Nicholson Street. Documentary evidence reveals that Richard Booker, carpenter and town constable, was renting out rooms by 1826. Some repair work has begun; additional brick repairs and repointing are estimated to cost $26,000.
William Byrd III House - Located near Merchants Square, this house was built around 1770. William Byrd III was raised at Westover, married first into the wealthy Carter family, and inherited his family's vast lands and slaveholdings. However, he squandered the Byrd fortune by gambling and making bad investments - and committed suicide in 1777. Samuel Griffin acquired the house in 1778. He was a member of the first Congress, which convened in New York in 1789. Both the east and west chimneys require repairs estimated to cost $15,000.
Chiswell Bucktrout House - In 1766, Colonel John Chiswell was accused of killing Robert Rutledge in a tavern brawl. The day before his trial began, he died, rumored to have been by his own hand. Cabinetmaker Benjamin Bucktrout lived and worked in the house in the 1770s. The elongated hip roof of the house is unusual in Williamsburg, but was common in England in the early 1800s. The house and its separate kitchen located on Francis Street are hotel facilities today. A major crack on the north side of the west chimney requires repairs of $17,000.
King's Arms Tavern - For more than 30 years, Jane Vobe operated the King's Arms Tavern in Williamsburg, a place "where all the best people resorted," according to a French traveler. Patrons included Burgesses, councilors, the governor, and locals. Operating first on Waller Street, then by 1772 on Duke of Gloucester, her tavern was "opposite the Raleigh, at the Sign of the King's Arms." Jane Vobe supplied American troops with food and drink during the Revolutionary War, and at some point changed the tavern name to The Eagle. Colonial Williamsburg is seeking $17,000 to repair a chimney crack.
Benjamin Powell House - Benjamin Powell, probably the son of a middling planter, became a successful "undertaker" (contractor). During his career, he repaired the Public Gaol, Capitol, and Governor's Palace, built the Public Hospital and the tower on Bruton Parish Church, and worked on soldiers' barracks in 1776. He purchased the Benjamin Powell House on Waller Street in 1763 and sold it in 1782. Today, the house is open for school groups where youngsters participate in hands-on activities, often led by junior interpreters. We seek $7,000 for chimney repairs and repointing.
Historic Trades
18th-century Type for the Print Shop
Historic Trades printers use traditional lead-based type to print reproduction documents on their 18th-century-style press. With use, the type wears out, requiring its replacement. While once a common material, this type is no longer used commercially, and Colonial Williamsburg has only one source of supply, Quaker City Type Foundry in Pennsylvania. While type is still available, Colonial Williamsburg hopes to obtain as much as possible.
Gifts of any size are welcome to purchase type to have on hand for printing broadsides, booklets, and pamphlets.
Historic Trades Summer Internships
Colonial Williamsburg's Historic Trades program is one of the largest museum-operated trades program in the world and one of the most historically accurate, with an emphasis on hands-on practice and documentary research. Colonial Williamsburg currently practices 30 trades at more than 20 sites. Internships offer interested individuals three-month experiences to learn about the trade(s), develop skills, gain public contact and service experience, and acquire insights about museum and living history careers.
Funds needed for 4 summer interns: $20,000
Historic Area Needs
Historic Area Costuming Accessories
More than 800 Colonial Williamsburg employees work in costume in the Historic Area, taverns, period stores, and special programs. Keeping them attired in reproduction 18th-century clothing and accessories is the responsibility of the Costume Design Center. Accessories include new and replacement eyewear and shoes; the goal is authenticity of appearance. Interpreters requiring eyeglasses are issued period-appropriate frames fitted with their prescriptions. Interpreters' shoe styles vary to reflect the different life styles of 18th-century Williamsburg society. Colonial Williamsburg shoemakers make some shoes while others are manufactured in England and the U.S.; each pair costs approximately $125.
Funds needed: $52,000 for annual shoe expenses and $5,000 for eyeglasses.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Library
Documents of Freedom Fund
The John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Library collections include items of great significance about the American Revolution in Williamsburg and Virginia. Among them are a copy of William Stone's 1823 facsimile of the Declaration of Independence; autographs of the signers of the Declaration;published works relating to the debate over American rights; and an original manuscript of Patrick Henry's 1765 Stamp Act Resolves. With additional gift funds, Colonial Williamsburg will acquire additional rare books, manuscripts, letters, newspapers, treatises, broadsides, diaries, declarations of rights, state constitutions, and other documents that illuminate British and American views during this formative period in America's history. Having funds on hand, Colonial Williamsburg will be able to respond quickly when a document becomes available.
Gifts of any size are welcome.
Collections, Conservation, and Museum Exhibitions
Cases for Wolstenholme Towne Metal Artifacts
Climate-controlled display cases are needed to protect fragile metal objects found at Carter's Grove's Wolstenholme Towne settlement. Excavated in 1976, the iron artifacts include domestic, agricultural, and military items, including helmets, pieces of armor, swords, gun parts, hoes, draw-knife, fireplace tong, and buttons. The objects are rare survivors that provide context for items found at Jamestown.
Funds needed: $12,000.
"Style, Function and Price: Buying Furniture in Early America"
This exhibition opening in 2015 will showcase Colonial Williamsburg's world-class collection of 18th-century furniture. The exhibition will allow visitors to pose as colonial consumers, exploring furniture style, construction, decoration, and price. Audio/video tours will permit guests to delve more deeply into these topics at their own pace.
Funds needed: $150,000.
Digital Projector for Wallace Collections and Conservation Building
The Collections and Conservation Building's conference room is used for staff meetings, conference reports, presentation practice sessions, and webinar participation. The existing portable projector does not accurately project digital images and is often unavailable. A digital projector will enable the Conservation Department to illustrate their treatments accurately and be available for use by Collections, Conservation and Museums staff, donor groups, and outside visitors.
A mountable digital projector costs $1,800; adding a universal mount for $65 and a large screen for $75 would bring the total cost to $1,940.
Equipment: Laser Cleaner
Surgical lasers have become a valuable addition to the conservator's toolbox for cleaning historic and art object surfaces, such as sculptures, and monuments. Unlike traditional cleaning methods, lasers preserve patina, fine surface detail, and surface coatings. Colonial Williamsburg hopes to acquire a Lynton "Compact Phoenix" Conservation Laser Cleaning system, a small handheld laser connected to a desktop power supply. A laser cleaner will be useful for many conservators; in the objects lab, for example, it will allow for the easy removal of staining from ceramic objects. Our architectural conservator will be able to use it to safely and quickly clean the heavily used stone and brick steps and architectural walkways in the Historic Area.
Funds to acquire this equipment: $50,000.

Man accused of charging up stairs at policeJune 12,2013Man denies charging police
BENNINGTON A Benmont Avenue man is facing a criminal charge after police said he attempted to push by two officers while arguing with a woman.
Justin J. Chaplin, 27, of Bennington, pleaded innocent Monday in Bennington criminal court to a misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct. He was released without bail.
In an affidavit, Officer David Faden of the Bennington Police Department said he was dispatched to a Main Street home around 8:30 p.m. May 29 because a man was trying to enter an apartment.
Faden said when he reached the area, he found that Cpl. Andy Hunt, also of the Bennington Police Department, was telling Chaplin to go home. Chaplin was on the second floor of the home, carrying a bicycle.
Faden said Chaplin agreed to leave and police went to the second floor to speak with the woman who had called to report the incident. However, as soon as the woman opened the door, Chaplin dropped the bicycle and began running back up the stairs.
Faden said he and Hunt stopped Chaplin and brought him downstairs. When Chaplin wouldnt leave, after being reportedly told by police to go home, he was forced to the ground and then handcuffed, Faden said.
According to Faden, Chaplin was taken to the Rutland jail and held until sober.
Chaplin was previously convicted of disorderly conduct in 2008.MORE IN This Just InNEWBURY Police said somebody stole booze and change from a Welch Road residence. Full StoryBRATTLEBORO Six people were displaced by an apartment fire on South Main Street Saturday morning. Full StoryPolice: Chase

Studying abroad requires advanced financial planning, so you will need to know your personal and family resources as well as how studying abroad will impact your financial aid eligibility for the time that you are abroad. This section deals with the financial aspect of studying abroad including program costs, the study abroad fee and possible scholarships.
You must reapply for financial aid each year. If you will be overseas between January 1 and March 1, be sure to make arrangements to file your FAFSA online by the March 1 deadline.
"Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living." — Miriam Beard
UVM institutional aid and federal financial aid may be available to assist with costs of UVM bilateral exchange programs, ISEP Exchange programs, Buckham and Oaxaca semester programs and, occasionally, UVM short-term faculty-led programs.
Students participating in approved programs sponsored by other U.S. institutions (external programs including ISEP-Direct Enrollment programs) will not qualify for UVM institutional-based financial aid during their semester(s) abroad but may continue to use federal and state aid to assist in financing their study abroad programs. Additional information is available from Student Financial Services.
Students can access their financial aid award by logging into their myUVM account.
Financial aid packages will be recalculated to reflect the costs of the study abroad program. Program costs above and beyond the standard cost of enrolling for the same period at UVM will not be considered for additional UVM institutional aid. However, Parent PLUS and alternative loans are available. Likewise, your financial aid eligibility will be reduced if your total program cost is less than the standard cost of enrolling for the same period at UVM. If you receive outside grants or scholarships (i.e., Veterans' Administration benefits, etc.) be sure to check with the sponsoring organization about how these benefits or scholarships might be applied to costs for your study abroad program.
While studying abroad, you can expect to have financial obligations to both UVM and the institution hosting your program. It is your responsibility to settle any bills due to UVM and any institution hosting your program by the appropriate due date(s).
Financial aid eligibility is based on the costs you document to Student Financial Services on your budget sheets (see below) which is part of the UVM study abroad approval process. Financial aid is also based on the assumption that you will complete and receive transfer credit for the courses you take while abroad. Notify Student Financial Services promptly of any changes to the costs or course load associated with your program.
If you do not complete and/or do not receive transfer credit for the courses you take while studying abroad, your financial aid eligibility may be re-evaluated. Failure to complete and/or receive transfer credit for courses taken abroad may result in cancellation of aid and in a balance due to UVM or the host institution for your program.
When making a decision regarding which type of program will best suit your needs, it is important to understand the costs of the different types of study abroad programs. If you are considering an exchange program, review the financial information in the fact sheet in addition to any cost of living estimates noted on the host country institution's website. If you are considering an external program, locate the cost breakdown on their website. Draft a Budget Sheet for each program so you understand their costs before applying. This draft will be a resource when talking with family members about the specific costs related to studying abroad. Once you have been accepted into your study abroad program, you will create a final budget sheet as part of the UVM approval process. If you receive financial aid, the final budget sheet will provide Student Financial Services with your program costs so they can recalculate your financial aid package. Ultimately, it is important for you to familiarize yourself with the cost of your specific program as early as possible.
Before you study abroad, OIE will bill your student account for the study abroad fee. The fee is $500 for a semester or full year and $250 for summer or winter break programs. The fee covers the following:
To assist you in funding your study abroad experience, OIE has compiled a list of scholarships and grants available for study abroad. This list is meant to be a starting point for you and is not comprehensive. Check with individual organizations and programs to find the most up-to-date, complete, and accurate information
UVM funding: Buckham Overseas Program Travel Scholarship (English Department will advise)
International Student Exchange Program (ISEP): Annette Kate Scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $3,000.
Government or non-profit organization scholarships: Institute for International Education | German Academic Exchange Service Undergraduate Scholarships | National Security Education Program Boren Awards for International Study | Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship | Fund for Education Abroad | Scholarships for Japan Study Abroad
(Visit the UVM National Scholarships & Fellowships Advising website for additional guidance regarding the Government and/or non-profit organization scholarships above.)
UVM-approved programs offering scholarships: Many of our approved external study abroad programs offer scholarships to their participants. Be sure to research scholarship opportunities available through the programs you are considering.
Financial Aid deadlines are early so contact Student Financial Services with any questions you may have. All financial aid recipients must provide documentation of their overseas costs before any aid will be released. If you have yet to apply for financial aid, contact SFS.
Please move on to the Step 4 and to planning for your necessary documentation.


text: Nothing signifies the late 20th century expansion and opening up of the traditional art world to a greater extent than the rise to a place of prominence by visionary folk and outsider artists. One of the centers of this revolution in notions of what constitutes art and culture was the Southeastern United States and particularly Appalachia. "Un-usual Folk" explores this watershed moment in American art by pairing selections from the Taubman Museum's permanent collection with pieces drawn from the extensive and expansive collection of respected local collectors Barbara and Rick Moeller. Featuring an array of paintings, pottery, and sculpture by noted artists ranging from Sam Doyle, Lanier Meaders, and Georgia Blizzard to rising contemporary outsiders such as Kentucky's Marvin Francis and Missouri's Theresa Disney, "Un-usual Folk" celebrates and explores the strange region where traditional form and technique collide with and are transformed by raw individual creative vision.

Date: Saturday, November 9
Time: 2:00 – 6:00PM
Place: Dragon's Den
The workshop centers on Mattesi's new approach to drawing based on the FORCES found in the figure and how they coincide with gravity. Any artist could use this concept of drawing but the animation industry has most used the technique due to its many parallel concepts in animating.

Police Chief Joe Treviño said employees at Fuller Tractor Co., 1905 W. Corpus Christi St., noticed the vehicle was missing when they reported for work Monday morning.
The vehicle was valued at $16,971, and it had been parked in front of the business.
According to officers who responded to the call, the thief apparently moved the vehicle to the back of the Fuller Tractor property where he cut a fence and probably loaded the vehicle onto a trailer.
Anyone who might have information regarding the theft should call Coastal Bend Crime Stoppers at 362-0206 or call long distance at (877) 362-0206.
Witnesses who would rather contact the organization via email may do so by sending the information to coastalbendcrimestoppers.com.
Crime Stoppers offers rewards of up to $1,000 for information that could lead to an arrest in a crime.

Manchester welcomes new town clerkBy Patrick McArdle
Staff Writer | June 19,2014Patrick McArdle/Staff Photo
Anita Sheldon, who had been assistant town clerk in Manchester, was named town clerk on Monday by the Select Board. Sheldon is succeeding Linda Spence, who died June 7, and who hired and trained Sheldon.MANCHESTER Anita Sheldon, who had been assistant town clerk under the late Linda Spence, has been appointed to serve as town clerk until next year, when she plans to run for the office.
Sheldon, 27, who is from Manchester, has been assistant town clerk since September 2009.
She was hired and trained by Spence, 59, who died June 7 after almost 18 years as town clerk.
Town Manager John OKeefe said the Select Board had a special meeting Monday to appoint a new clerk. The vote was unanimous.
Selectman Wayne Bell, board vice chairman, said the members were proud to appoint Sheldon to the position.
Shes great. Shes really done a nice job in transition so far, he said. Were very pleased that we had her at a time when we could have literally been upside down (after Spences death.)
Spences term of office would have expired in March 2015. Sheldon said she plans to run for the next three-year term after serving out the current term.
Sheldon said she wished she had become town clerk under different circumstances, but said the succession came up when she interviewed for the assistant job five years ago.
I had no idea what the job entailed and even writing a job description now to try to get an assistant in here, its like, Wow! Im glad I didnt know to begin with, Sheldon said.
Sheldon said she couldnt have had a better teacher and mentor than Spence.
It was a great environment. Linda made coming to work fun, Sheldon said. We obviously had our days where we couldnt talk because it was so busy. She made it like a second home.
The town clerks post is an important one in Vermont. Among the duties are keeping municipal land records, vital records such as birth and death certificates. issuing dog and hunting licenses, renewing vehicle registrations, registering voters and running elections and providing general assistance to members of the public.
During her five years as an assistant, Sheldon said, shes come to enjoy the constant contact with people who visit the office.
Theres challenges that you face on a daily basis, she said. Answering the phone, you never know what to expect. You have to expect the unexpected.
Sheldon said she will continue her education and training, working with the Vermont Municipal Clerks and Treasurers Association, the New England Association of City and Town Clerks and the International Institute of Municipal Clerks.
She plans to become a certified Vermont clerk, which involves a three-year program she expects to start in July 2015, and hopes to go on to earn a master municipal clerk designation.
One of the challenges of the job, and one of the things that makes it attractive, is that there is always more to learn to keep up with the changes in state law, Sheldon said.
Sheldon said Wednesday she was grateful for the outpouring of support from Manchester residents, other town employees and members of the clerk association who are all working to get through the grieving process and continue with the business of the clerks office.
Hours at the office will be 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, which Sheldon said will be in line with the hours town hall is open.
