The murky mists of time have thrown up many bizarre tales of legendary Dartmoor, writes Paul Rush.
The pale evening light and crisp, cool air offers little comfort as I stumble over rocky ground amidst the peat bogs south of Princeton's melancholy grey granite pile of HM Prison Dartmoor, England. There's a primal silence amongst the meadows and mires, disturbed periodically by eerie mutterings of the wind.
I long for the warmth of the sun on my back and clear visibility to reveal the beauty of this starkly bleak moorland. Somewhere up ahead are the infamous Bottomless Pool and Great Grimpen Mire, prominent names on the Ghost Map of Dartmoor that I clutch nervously in my hand.
This winding pathway is no place for the fainthearted traveller. I could never contemplate traversing it in the middle of the night. This barren plateau is criss-crossed with dry stone walls, granite crosses, Neolithic ruins and abandoned tin mines. It's the old stamping ground of foolish Childe the Hunter and wicked Squire Cabell. No one in their right mind would want to meet these restless spirits and their bloodthirsty packs of spectral hounds.
Childe was a wealthy bachelor with no heirs who inserted a clause into his will stating that whichever church buried him, would be granted all his lands. One winter's night he became lost on the moor and in desperation shot and disemboweled his horse and crawled into the carcass to escape the numbing cold.
His final act was to leave a message in blood on a rock reiterating his bequest of land. Once a traveller found his frozen remains, the news spread to the friars of Tavistock and Plymstock who raced to the scene. The former arrived first and cleverly detoured on the return journey to avoid a deadly ambush by their rivals and so claimed the entitlement.
Then there was Squire Cabell, who scared the local populace so much by ranging far and wide over the landscape with his big, black, fierce-looking hounds, that even after his death in 1677 they were fearful of meeting him. His grave at Holy Trinity Church, Buckfastleigh is covered with a solid concrete slab and a roofed-over prison with steel bars in the walls.
Legend has it that the squire sold his soul to the Devil and even today there are reports of the huntsman and his phantom black hounds being heard in full cry on moonless nights. The squire's unquiet death inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to write the classic Sherlock Holmes thriller The Hound of the Baskervilles.
In the gathering twilight I direct my steps back towards the sepulchral shape of the prison. The forbidding stone edifice was built to house French prisoners during the Napoleonic Wars and became the toughest prison in Victorian England, acquiring the title of Halfway to Hell.
From here it's a short road journey to the Dartmoor Inn where my group is booked in for dinner. After a fine Devon roast meal we settle back to listen to stories of the moorland. A local storyteller has been brought in to introduce us to its folklore and legends. The setting and atmospherics couldn't be better for ghost stories as the wind has freshened, rattling the window panes and the night is pitch black.
Our zealous raconteur soon warms to his subject of dark and dastardly deeds by the heartless hunters mentioned on my ghost map. "You are seeing Dartmoor at its best today, believe it or not, but just try and imagine what it's like in winter," he says with an earnest, pitying voice. "It's pitch black and freezing cold by 4.30pm and everyone is huddled over the fire before retiring early to bed."
"The long winter nights have their consequences. The Princetown School has around 100 children under eleven years of age. It's not just simple arithmetic of 100 out of 800 residents - you have to eliminate those who are too young or too old and the ones looking the other way.
"Close to Merrivale there's a sinister looking granite stack called Vixen Tor. An evil old hag called Vixana the Witch lived nearby and scared many travellers with her grimy teeth, tangled grey hair and long nose. Her only enjoyment was derived from luring people to a watery death in the peat mire, cackling with pleasure as they sank. A handsome young man crept up onto the tor one foggy night, caught the witch by surprise and sent her crashing to her death."
In 1921 the medical officer of Princetown Prison died when he inexplicably lost control of his motorcycle. Many visitors at that time told the story of disembodied hands appearing suddenly and grabbing the steering wheel and forcing them off the road. Locals attribute the hands to a large, hirsute man who had previously died in a terrible accident on the road. There are countless stories of church ghosts that creep about and troublesome pixies that lead unsuspecting travellers into miry bogs.
The audience is spellbound as our anecdotal soiree draws to an end. A lady breaks the silence by saying in a tremulous voice, "I don't want to go out in the dark. Could we stay the night here?" Our group is booked into the nearby Two Bridges Hotel, so we take turns in engaging the anxious lady in light-hearted conversation to ease her mind.
In the dull light of dawn we set out by coach deep into the stark moorland. Granite crosses, stone rows and circles and other inexplicable megalithic remains come into view as we cross this last great wilderness of England. We spot scattered herds of scraggly sheep and cattle and watch semi-wild Dartmoor ponies gallop over the rugged terrain.
Finally we arrive at Plymouth Harbour to a scene of absolute tranquillity. It seems a million miles away from the sinister supernatural happenings of darkest Devon. But the bizarre tales of dastardly deeds linger long in the memory.
Dartmoor is in Devon in southern England. It is unique among the country's National Parks in that much of it is designated as Access Land. This means there are public rights of way over vast areas of privately owned land.
The Dartmoor National Park Authority has an extensive guided walks and events programme throughout the spring and summer seasons. There are free or low-cost ranger-led walks, minibus tours, history walks, pony tours, children's activities, local shows, markets and craft fairs.

�Christian leaders who combine a large vision with a captivating personality and a compelling message deserve a thorough-going assessment. This unusually insightful book carries out that task splendidly for the larger-than-life Martyn Lloyd-Jones. Its wide-ranging essays treat 'the Doctor�s' great themes (revival, preaching, the Puritans, the Holy Spirit) along with his significant constituencies (Wales, post-war evangelicals, evangelical separatists) and the objects of his criticism (Anglicans, Karl Barth, Catholics, non-revivalistic evangelicals). The chapters are accessible, carefully researched, measured, judicious, sometimes moving, balanced, always appreciative, and selectively critical. The result is a feast of historical and theological insight about a great champion of Reformed theology and historical Protestantism.'

I recently ran the Dublin marathon, I trained for 5 months and during the last couple of months of training I developed pain in the top sof both feet solely when getting out of bed in the morning, it was more like stiffness, and would soon go away once I got moving. I didn't have any pain when I was running. It's 3 weeks since the marathon, and I still have the foot pain, now it is not only in the morning but also anytime I have my feet elevated ie. lying on the sofa. It's general stiffness and intital pain which then goes away once I am moving, again no pain or soreness during or after runs. I have no idea what this is, and whether I should go and get it checked out? Any ideas or experience with similar?
Sounds a little mysterious, but I suspect you've inflamed the tendons running along the top of the feet, e.g. extensor hallucis longus which travels from above the big toe joint. This is often caused by doing up your shoe laces too tightly, or something rubbing on the top of the shoe. I've had something similar but it certainly used to start hurting towards the end of long runs
Would suggest having it checked out by a sports injury therapist.
I am an older lady who regularly works out at the gym and walk every day. The top of my foot started to hurt slightly whilst walking. I saw a podiatrist who made some inserts for my shoes and said I should purchase these expensive more sturdy trainers. Instead of getting better, the bone on top of my foot near the left instep has become bony and very painful, there is no improvement. Have you any advice?
Patricia, this is going to sound REALLY basic, but: have you tried loosening your laces? Actually by now I suspect you may be getting a hyperalgesia (slight pain becomes more pain) or allodynia (other sensation such as pressure is felt as pain) problem. I suggest trying (a) loosening your laces over the pressure point; (b) get some chiropodist's felt and some micropore. Cut a piece of the felt to give yourself a hole over the painful bit, with a surrounding piece of felt - maybe 3/4 inch to 1 inch of felt around the hole. Use the micropore to stick this to your foot, wth the hole over the bony, painful bit (so it's protected from pressure). I suggest using micropore because you can then keep using the same bit of felt day after day. Worked for me! Good luck!
Hello Debra, Thankyou so much for replying to my problem. I have kept loosening my laces, but I must admit I haven't tried the padding. I am limping with pain now, so I am certainly going to try your method. I appreciate your help very much. Kind regards.
T hankyou Muzza, will try this. I am willing to try anything to get rid of this pain. The bone is quite enlarged. Kind regards.
Patricia, I had a problem a while back that sounds really similar to yours. I did what I suggest above .Also, because I was worried it might be a strain of inter-tarsal bone ligaments, having put the felt on I then wrapped around the foot with tape - so the tape provided support, while the padding ensured there was no direct pressure on the enlarged bony bit. Good luck!
Patricia H - are they sort of bony growths on top of the metatarsals? I don't know what they're called but they sometimes develop in random positions and don't seem to go away. I don't think they become really troublesome but you will have to see to it that nothing tight rubs across them.
The other sort of pain is tendonitis that I was referring to and is helped by, yes, loosening your laces and easing off on the training for a while.
I'm paranoid with foot pain - I had top of foot pain that I ignored and it ended up being a stress fracture! The pain developed into severe top and bottom (ball of foot) pain however so I am not saying this is what it is but get it checked out - I'd avoid a GP, and see a physio if it continues.

Bikini Babe Courteney Cox Vacations with Josh Hopkins
Looking to confirm new romance rumors, Courteney Cox was spotted alongside "Cougar Town" co-star Josh Hopkins in St Barts on Tuesday afternoon (March 29).
The former "Friends" actress invited her on-screen lover and seemingly new romance to join her and daughter Coco on holiday in the scenic Caribbean locale.
Of the scene, an onlooker told, "Courteney and Coco were carefree as they splashed around and frolicked on the beach with Hopkins. The Cox girls both looked remarkably comfortable with the handsome and gregarious Hopkins, who flaunted his toned physique as the three played together, giggling and acting silly."'
While Cox has played coy about her post-breakup romantic doings, the decision to invite Hopkins to join her and Coco on holiday certainly makes it seem as if something special is brewing.

Protections for the Working Class Have Vanished in AmericaNews at Home

In the midst of the political season leading to the 2012 presidential election, it is striking how little discussion there has been on working-class issues, other than the too often banal discussions of how the unemployment rate is too high.. Usually the only solutions offered are that this problem will resolve itself, or a plan to apply the band-aid of unemployment compensation and other palliatives in the short-run, and nothing in the long-run.
Much like the Tory Party of eighteenth-century Britain, the Democrats have become the party of the cultural elite, and much like the Whigs of eighteenth-century Britain, the Republicans have become the party of the economic elite -- though there is much overlap between the two, in that many powerful groups want their lobbyists to play both sides of the fence. While the Republicans claim they want to provide opportunities for entrepreneurs, and for the poor who want to themselves become entrepreneurs in order to work their way out of poverty, they're actually better at helping the Wal-Marts of the world than the mom-and-pop stores -- those that still exist, anyway. The Democrats, on the other hand, act as if the American economy is fully mature. This means they offer the poor the hope that their children can go to college and work for a Fortune 500 company, or the subcontractors who serve them, and if this doesn't help, as a last resort they can go on welfare. Between these two extremes there may be other alternatives but you'll need a magnifying glass placed on the Democratic and Republican Party platforms to find out what they are.
Past Democratic presidents like Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, and even Franklin Delano Roosevelt had their wealth, but it did not come from a lifetime of social climbing and playing up to the rich so that they could afford to represent the interests of people who were different, and certainly a lot poorer, than them. In recent generations, however we have had Democratic presidential candidates who went to Ivy League schools, then spent most of their earning years utterly dependent on social climbing and gaining the good graces of the rich folk. These are the people who finance their political campaigns, and are often responsible for much of their income as well. When they leave their political careers behind, they once again are dependent on the largesse of the rich for much of their income. Republican presidential candidates in many ways have had similar careers, dependent on the good graces of the very rich, both before and after they entered politics -- and of course Mitt Romney, in addition to being born into great wealth, made hundreds of millions in the private sector, before ever running for office.
Both major-party candidates, in their pronouncements on public policy, may attempt to discuss the worthiness of the rich for their positions of power, or the lives of the working class while they are living their working-class lives, not merely those few who escape them through social mobility out of them. However, the atypical examples of a few working-class people who enter the ranks of the wealthy have become the stock and trade of the press -- with their focus more on entertainment than on analysis -- and our political class, with a few exceptions, tends to go along with this.
The reformer president Woodrow Wilson succeeded in passing the Federal Reserve Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act to curb unfair trade practices, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Federal Farm Loan Act and an income tax. Child labor was curtailed by the Keating–Owen Act of 1916, but the U.S. Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional in 1918. He also had Congress pass the Adamson Act, which imposed an eight-hour workday for railroads. But after World War I there was no will among either Democrats or Republicans to put any further teeth into enforcement of anti-trust legislation or of legislation that would markedly help the economic power of the working class such as through strengthening labor unions. The weak purchasing power of the working class as well, as weak protections against stock fraud and the overall stock market bubble, resulted in the market crash of 1929. More impressive gains were achieved by President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal during the Depression, when he sponsored the Social Security Act, the National Labor Relations Act (which established the rights of workers to organize unions), and the Fair Labor Standards Act which established the minimum wage. But after World War II, the political will to defend the working class again became much weaker. The Taft-Hartley Act of 1947, admittedly passed by overriding President Harry Truman's veto, imposed limits on labor's right to strike, particularly jurisdictional strikes and wildcat strikes, and allowed states to pass right-to-work laws that weakened the ability of unions to add new members. Though this law had some public support because of the union movement's overuse of strikes after the war, the net effect was to weaken the union movement. The federal government went on doing very little to prevent intimidation of pro-union workers by management, and of course very little to stop outsourcing and offshoring. This has resulted in a union movement that is now about as weak as it was during the 1920s, and a working class in general whose economic position is in roughly the same place.
After World War II, the British public tossed out Winston Churchill's Conservative Party and elected the Labour politician Clement Atlee in his place. Atlee pledged to create a modern welfare state, and he followed through (it's a testament to the continued popularity of Atlee's reforms -- including the National Health Service -- that he was rated by British academics as the greatest prime minister of the twentieth century, edging out Churchill by a considerable margin). In the U.S., on the other hand, both major parties ended up running away from the innovations of the 1910s and 1930s. Instead of a genuine pension system, instead of cheap and effective health care, instead of cheap college education for those that will benefit, instead of emphasizing health and safety issues in the workplace, instead of mandatory vacations and overtime, both parties merely now offer a march into the past -- the Democrats being satisfied in many ways with America as it was in the 1920s, and many of the Republicans preferring a return to the 1880s. Is that progress?

"This is consistent with the ACCC's preliminary view, arguable whether this was therefore in the price prior to the final decision," Nomura said in a note to clients.
The broker reckons this is a negative for Carsales.com as it impacts their 'consumer classified' growth strategy.
"Trading Post would have increased quicksales inventory to circa 1.4 million items from 1.2 million," Nomura added.
"With a lot implied in Carsales.com's share-price and consumer classifieds (including Trading Post) a core plank of the growth strategy, this should be viewed as a small negative for the stock."

Steamboat Springs The Steamboat Springs Nordic Council reported Wednesday morning that all 5 kilometers of cross-country skiing on Bruce's Trail have opened thanks to 24 inches of accumulated snow above 9,300 feet on Rabbit Ears Pass.
Two feet of snow is sufficient to cover all hazards, but the groomed tracks remain on the soft side.
There are no fees for skiing on Bruce's Trail, which is in the Routt National Forest. However, the Nordic Council accepts donations to cover the cost of grooming. Go to www.SteamboatXCski.org for more information.


text: Hello to everyone. I'm new to the forum and need your advice. I'll be going for my ccw training tomorrow and hope to get my permit in a few weeks. Living in Missouri means that I spend six months a year in shorts,sandals and tee shirts. I'm looking for a pocket pistol that I can trust to do the job as long as I do my part. I'm giving serious thought to the Kahr pm9 as my first choice. Then buying a larger 9mm down the road for those times when weather permits me to carry something with a larger capacity magizine, but I want pistol that I can carry in my pocket with holster for everyday use.

New Zealand director Vincent Ward has unveiled his latest long-term labour of love to a film festival audience. Shandelle Battersby reports from Sydney
It may not have been rural heartland New Zealand or even downtown Auckland or Wellington, but there was a definite Kiwi feel to the world premiere of Vincent Ward's latest film at Sydney's State Theatre last weekend.
A small group of Australian-based Maori performed a passionate powhiri on the red carpet - welcoming a New Zealand contingent led by Ward and Tuhoe elders, Matu te Pou and Nancy Tait, to the first public screening of Rain of the Children at the city's film festival. Australian audiences were treated to another performance, including a haka, on stage before the film began.
Ward chose Sydney as the destination for the premiere after Rain became the only New Zealand finalist in the city's inaugural festival competition.
"The Sydney festival has been elevated into a major A-list event because of the competition. "
"We were one of 12 selected from 1500 feature films previewed. It's a big honour and it was great that our Tuhoe collaborators could be here for it," Ward says.
The first New Zealand screening will be at the Auckland Film Festival in July.
"We'll have a special opening in New Zealand as well and we hope to have at least 100 Tuhoe there as part of that."
Part-documentary, part-drama, Rain follows on from Ward's 1978 observational film In Spring One Plants Alone about Puhi, an elderly woman caring for her mentally ill adult son Niki in the remote Urewera Ranges. Ward lived with the pair for 18 months in his early 20s to make the film, and the unanswered questions that arose during this time spawned his 30 years of interest in Puhi and her back story.
Chosen by the great Maori prophet Rua Kenana to marry his son at the age of 12, Puhi was pregnant with her first child just two years later. She gave birth in the bush following a tumultuous police raid on their community in 1916 and went on to have a further 13 children.
Tragically, the only one she raised into adulthood was her last, Niki, as the rest either died or were taken from her.
Ward set out to find how the loss of her children determined the course of Puhi's life and during his preliminary interviews discovered the old lady, and many around her, believed she was cursed.
"I wanted to piece together the puzzle of why she had become who she was," he says.
"There were things I didn't know about her and that really plagued me, so I went back to answer those questions."
Ward tells Puhi's tragic story masterfully, combining footage from In Spring with personal on-screen narrative, early photographs, dramatisation of historical events, and interviews with Tuhoe descendants.
A recent screening to 400 Tuhoe people was judged a success and the film was well received by its two Australian audiences last weekend, with many staying on for question and answer sessions.
The warmth and community support surrounding Ward's latest film marks a stark contrast with the controversy that haunted his previous feature, River Queen.
"It's nice not to work with anyone crazy, that really helps," he says in a veiled reference to River Queen's English star Samantha Morton. "It was good to work with really genuine, authentic people. Also, as the overall producer I felt in charge of my own destiny. I was able to get the film I wanted. And it's more than the film I set out to make."
Rain of the Children premieres at the Auckland Film Festival in New Zealand on July 12, 6.30pm at the Civic. See this Saturday's Weekend Timeout for details about the rest of the film festival programme.

Win for Second Harvest will help kids
GRAY, Tenn. - Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Tennessee placed first in the top 40 food banks in the country.
In a press release, the organization says they won $45,000 in Walmart's "Fighting Hunger Together" campaign in April by getting the most votes for support of their programs that help alleviate child hunger. They say funding for child hunger programs is especially critical in Northeast Tennessee where as many as two out of five children may be hungry according to the most recent poverty statistics.
Last year the region secured a $50,000 award, taking second place in the campaign. Last fall the food bank also won a $150,000 award from Walmart's 'Golden Spark' campaign.
Second Harvest says they have two campaigns where they are asking for community support during May. Saturday, May 11 is the Annual Letter Carrier's Food Drive. You can help by filling a bag with nonperishable foods and leaving at your mailbox.
Outnumber Hunger is sponsoring a contest that includes The Band Perry; those interested have one more week to tell The Band Perry how they are helping to make a difference in your community.
You could win a visit from the band and get to volunteer alongside them at your local Feeding America food bank as part of the Outnumber Hunger campaign.
For more information and ways to get involved in helping feed the hungry in Northeast Tennessee visit www.netfoodbank.org.

HYDE PARK—It is distressing to read that the Soviet leaders, while addressing parliament in India, took the opportunity to assail the West and its proposals for disarmament. This will not make for good feeling in Western countries or for any greater understanding between the West and the countries of Asia. Such speeches confirm in the West the belief that the Soviet Union intends to continue its efforts to communize Asia and Africa. It may even alert areas of these continents to the danger that they may be taken over by an ideology with which as yet they are not fully in accord.
Many of us can see that there are reasons why our government policy may lead the Soviet Union to be nervous about their own security and to question our sincerity. But there are better ways of coming together and gaining an understanding than by going to an Asiatic nation and making a speech to their parliament along the lines that were followed by the two top Soviet leaders in India. Sometimes I wish that these speeches could all be made with the top people gathered together in the U.N. so that each point can be answered as it is made. Possibly some clarification might result from that kind of a worldwide, open discussion.
I flew to Ottawa last week via Montreal to make a speech before the Canadian Hadassah organization. This was my first visit to Ottawa, and much of the time I was thinking of an old friend and former Prime Minister, Mr. Mackenzie King. My husband felt that he had done much to develop understanding between our two nations, and during the war that understanding was of great importance. I think it is important at all times and it is fortunate that the present Prime Minister, M. St. Laurent, is very popular too with Americans; but because of my husband's close association with Mackenzie King, he was the one to whom my mind turned as I drove into the city.
Ottawa is a fine city, but not so easy either to reach or to leave as I might wish! I had to take a night plane to Toronto in order to get one early enough the next morning to be back in New York for some morning engagements.
I read a delightful novel by Rose Franken, called "Intimate Story," on this last trip. It is very different from some of Miss Franken's other books, but qualities that make her other books delightful also make this one interesting, especially in its studies of people. The author treats of two problems—the problem of the generations, as shown by a mother, her daughter and son-in-law; and the problem of a woman who has had a very happy marriage which has ended too soon. The latter still has much of her life to live, but finds the adjustment very difficult. It is a penetrating and interesting book and may be very helpful if its lessons can be understood and accepted by women in their middle years.

what is love?
"What is love? Are your palms sweaty, is your heart racing, and is your voice caught within your chest? - it isn't love, it's lust. You can't keep your eyes or hands off of them, am I right? -it isn't love, it's lust. Are you proud, and eager to show them off? - it isn't love, it's pride. Do you want them because you know they're there? -it isn't love, it's loneliness. Are you there because it's what everyone wants? -it isn't love, it's loyalty. Are you there because they kissed you, or held your hand? 'it isn't love, it's low confidence. Do you stay for their confessions of love because you don't want to hurt them? -it isn't love, it's pity. Do you belong to them because their sight makes your heart skip a beat? -it isn't love, it's infatuation. Do you pardon their faults because you care about them? -it isn't love, it's friendship. Do you tell them every day that they are the only one you think of? -it isn't love, it's lie. Are you willing to give all your favorite things for their sake? -it isn't love, it's charity. Does your heart ache and break when they're sad? -then it's love. Do you cry for their pain, even when they're strong? -then it's love. Do their eyes see your true heart, and touch your soul so deeply it hurts? -then it's love. Do you stay because a blinding, incomprehensible mix of pain and relation pulls you close and holds you there? -then it's love. Do you accept their faults because they're part of who they are? -then it's love. Would you give them your heart, your life, your death? Think about it for a second."


text: Our new build wiring consists of 1 Coax & 1 Cat6 to each location. We really design it with a strict budget & the promise from TiVo or others of a whole house DVR/Independent TV watching strategy in mind. So, we first thing is that we want to be able to send 2 signals from the P4XL to 2 secondary rooms. Questions: 1) Can the Mini's receive & pass along to TV - HiDef 1080i/1080p video via the coax or Cat6? If so, which is the prefer method? 2) Do I need an HDMI in there somewhere? 3) If I want to control remotely & put the Mini's & P4XL into a central closet, is it better to do RF or IR remotes? 4) Can the remote signal transmitted via the same coax or Cat6 above?

Fans of Ichabod Crane will get a double dose of Fox's Sleepy Hollow on January 20. The network said today that the freshman supernatural drama will expand to two hours on the date starting at 8 PM. That means the official Season 2 premiere of The Following will shift out of its previously set slot to 9 PM January 27. The hit Kevin Bacon series will still preview January 19 in the prized slot following the NFC Championship Game as Fox originally designed. The original schedule had Sleepy Hollow moved out of its regular 9 PM slot to an 8 PM finale for The Following to take over the time period. Sleepy Hollow's last original of the year is December 10 at it was scheduled to come back with originals on January 6. Now return on January 13 to allow for the double-up on January 20.
Fox Expands 'Sleepy Hollow' Finale & Shifts 'The Following' Official Premiere By A Week
14 Comments
This is kind of better, I guess? It seemed very strange to me that they would move Sleepy Hollow to 8PM for the finale in the first place.
Am I alone with the observation and belief that Sleepy Hollow, which deals with the supernatural, is more believable than The Following, which is deals potentially real events?
My only complaint with The Following is the same as it was with Touch. The character's actions often defy even basic logic. I'm a long time fan of Kevin Bacon, and he's a far better actor than that show allows.
That said, I'll likely continue to watch each and every new episode of both shows.
You are not alone. The Following can be quite frustrating and unbelievable to me. From the bumbling FBI agents who are always 5 steps behind, the sloppy writing, the predictable storyline… I find myself rolling my eyes more often than not. And seriously, what is so alluring about Joe and why would so many people follow/kill for him? Answer: not plausable!
Sleepy Hollow is far superior than The Following. There's a real effort by the writers to make the show entertaining, scary, witty, and engaging. The special effects are top-notch. The actors are dreamy. It's everything you could want in a show.
Your comments about Sleepy Hollow are spot on! I couldn't agree more.
The Following was a train wreck. NO ONE on that show behaved like a human being would. They might as well have sprouted wings and flew away for as realistic as that show was. Boys couts could have solved that crime in 5 minutes. Their FBI was the most incompetent law enforcement agency portrayal outside of the Keystone Cops. I was hate watching that show from the 3rd episode on. The only reason I thought about watching it this season was because I thought they'd have a new bad guy. So much for that.
I LOVE sleep hollow!! about time we have a show that keeps me in suspense thru the whole show!!
Luv both shows great idea for both shows different from anything else on that boring box takes me away from all this life has to offer keep it up people great job
Sleepy Hollow is like a very tasty stew. It manages to successfully combine fiction, history, the Bible, and conspiracy myths. It adds a dash of "fish out of water" humor and 3 dimensional characters to provide great entertainment. One can only hope that the plucky heroine will stay around longer than Carter of "Person of Interest" and that season one will finish with an appropriate cliff hanger.
Sorry, right now only 2 shows have my attention on Fox they are Almost Human and Sleepy Hollow.
I love Sleep Hollow but why so many breaks in airing. Its been ridiculous. 3 in a season of 13 is insane.Looks like they couldn't meet the turn round schedule. Tom Mison's brilliant in the lead role.
They have too many breaks,I agree and do not explain at the end of the last episode. Love Sleepy Hollow!!
I agree. Sleepy Hollow is well written and well acted. Tom Mison and Nicole Beharie are great,she's such a cutie. I never miss a show!
I agree with everyone that only watch FOX for two shows; Sleepy Hollow (Love, love, love) All the characters are great and my new fave Almost Human both have sexy, dreamy leading men and a very good cast. I was set to tune in this evening for my dose of SH only to find last week was the finale :( going through #Sleepyhollowwithdrawl
Do not like The Following and will not watch it. Love Sleepy Hollow WILL watch it.

Davis' Short Stories Vol. 3 HTML version
The Reporter Who Made Himself King
The Old Time Journalist will tell you that the best reporter is the one who works his way
up. He holds that the only way to start is as a printer's devil or as an office boy, to learn in
time to set type, to graduate from a compositor into a stenographer, and as a stenographer
take down speeches at public meetings, and so finally grow into a real reporter, with a
fire badge on your left suspender, and a speaking acquaintance with all the greatest men
in the city, not even excepting Police Captains.
That is the old time journalist's idea of it. That is the way he was trained, and that is why
at the age of sixty he is still a reporter. If you train up a youth in this way, he will go into
reporting with too full a knowledge of the newspaper business, with no illusions
concerning it, and with no ignorant enthusiasms, but with a keen and justifiable
impression that he is not paid enough for what he does. And he will only do what he is
paid to do.
Now, you cannot pay a good reporter for what he does, because he does not work for pay.
He works for his paper. He gives his time, his health, his brains, his sleeping hours, and
his eating hours, and sometimes his life, to get news for it. He thinks the sun rises only
that men may have light by which to read it. But if he has been in a newspaper office
from his youth up, he finds out before he becomes a reporter that this is not so, and loses
his real value. He should come right out of the University where he has been doing
"campus notes" for the college weekly, and be pitchforked out into city work without
knowing whether the Battery is at Harlem or Hunter's Point, and with the idea that he is a
Moulder of Public Opinion and that the Power of the Press is greater than the Power of
Money, and that the few lines he writes are of more value in the Editor's eyes than is the
column of advertising on the last page, which they are not.
After three years--it is sometimes longer, sometimes not so long--he finds out that he has
given his nerves and his youth and his enthusiasm in exchange for a general fund of
miscellaneous knowledge, the opportunity of personal encounter with all the greatest and
most remarkable men and events that have risen in those three years, and a great fund of
resource and patience. He will find that he has crowded the experiences of the lifetime of
the ordinary young business man, doctor, or lawyer, or man about town, into three short
years; that he has learned to think and to act quickly, to be patient and unmoved when
everyone else has lost his head, actually or figuratively speaking; to write as fast as
another man can talk, and to be able to talk with authority on matters of which other men
do not venture even to think until they have read what he has written with a copy-boy at
his elbow on the night previous.
It is necessary for you to know this, that you may understand what manner of man young
Albert Gordon was.
Young Gordon had been a reporter just three years. He had left Yale when his last living
relative died, and had taken the morning train for New York, where they had promised

It used to be that if you had a half-assed idea for a movie you'd throw out a premise then tack on "in space" at the end. ("It's just like 'The Magnificent Ambersons' but in space!") Today, when you've got a flimsy scenario, you can always just tack on "shot found-footage style." That means low-budget, and it also means a proven track record with the insatiable teen horror audience always looking for something that doesn't require full attention whilst on make-out dates at theaters or on couches.
'Europa Report' tries to do both. It follows a science team who's in too deep (...in space), and it's found footage of the feed beamed back to Mission Control. Nothing in 'Europa Report' is fresh but it does go down easy.

Beans and meat wrapped in a tortilla is a taco, but the same ingredients piled on a piece of fry bread qualifies as a sandwich. At least, "sandwich" is how you'll hear folks refer to the Navajo taco, aka Indian taco, despite the "taco" in the name.
I've convinced myself that the defining factor of sandwichness is bread, so I tested the theory at The Fry Bread House in Phoenix. The Navajo taco arrives swaddled like a papoose, the corners of its butcher-paper blanket tenderly knotted at the top. Undo the wrapping, and out springs a frisbee-sized cushion of traditional Navajo fry bread, covered by a bed of refried beans, smooth red salsa, chopped red onions and iceberg lettuce, strips of mild green chiles, and shredded cheddar cheese of the blandest bagged variety. The lack of adornment extends to the Fry Bread House's décor, with formica tabletops the color of its creamy homemade beans and Styrofoam sodas in two sizes: medium and "chief."
The fry bread is aggressively bread-like, with a flavor somewhere between a thick, gyro-type pita and barely sweetened funnel cake. The fresh, pillowy bread only gets tastier when folded around the filling, deliciously deflating as it soaks up the saucy mess. By the end I am uncomfortably full but perfectly comfortable, I decide, calling this thing a sandwich.<p>
Though there are thousands of sandwich recipes native to the United States, the Navajo taco is a Native American sandwich in different sense. Arizona Republic readers voted the Navajo taco the official state dish in 1995, but neither the fry bread nor the sandwich is any more native to Navajo culture than the shredded cheese on top. Most food historians credit the invention of fry bread to the thousands of Navajo who were forced off their land in the so-called Long Walk to Arizona's Fort Sumner, where they were incarcerated in 1864. Without corn, the people made fry bread using government rations of white flour, sugar, and lard, and when they were allowed to return to their now government-defined land four years later, the new tradition stuck.
Have you ever tried a Navajo taco?

Hi all, Just picked up my new ATS this weekend, leaving behind BMW. So far so good. This pic was taken right after delivery, when I took my son to the Frontiers of Flight Museum at Love Field in Dallas. I had this unintentional photo opp. Glad to be in an American car that can handle with the best!

Electrical panel ?
2 Attachment(s)
I am wanting to add another circuit to my panel (220v for welder in garage). As a note, I have done this before twice in previous homes for my welder without any issues.
I am only running the circuit about 3 ft away from the panel to make things simple. I installed the outlet, ran the short wire and went to snap the breaker into what I assumed to be an "open spot" on my panel.
Well, unfortunately I couldn't figure out why I had to power. Turns out after further inspection that the metal contacts (hot bus?) has been cut or trimmed. Therefore, there is no contact with the breaker. I have included pictures. One picture shows the empty slot with the hotbus cut and the other shows a normal hotbus above and the cut hotbus below.
Why would the contacts be cut out? My panel is a 125 amp. I am assuming the service is at least 125 amp also. The home is 1400sf and built last year. I am pretty bummed because now I have removed the cover plates on the panel's cover and I have a 30 amp breaker filling the slot that doesn't have any juice. Any ideas?
Can you show a full size picture of the panel.
I think, that your bottom right breaker is your "main" breaker for the panel. If so, then yes, the opposite posts are "cut".
It limits the number of breakers in the panel. Install a subpanel.
AndrewF, you are correct. The lower right is the main breaker so my "open" slot was next to the main. So this is normal practice? Crap, well is there a way to cover the area on my panel cover since I already knocked out the tabs? What are my options for adding another circuit? I am contemplating just tapping into my dryer circuit since I would never use them both at the same time. Probably not legal though. Thank you so much.
Those 'stabs' that the breakers sit on have an amp rating, should be on the inside panel cover.
Most are rated for 100amps, if your main is 100a you are not allowed to use them, this is why they are 'cut'.
This may very on brands and size of service.
You can purchase some blank covers to fill the hole(s). And if you get a couple of the "twin" breakers, two circuits per breaker spot you can open a few full sized slots to accept a double pole breaker.
You could probably replace one braeker with a tandum breaker. Those are the breakers that take up one spot in the panel but allow you to do two circuits off them. I have a couple in my box although I have not personally installed any before.
Here is a link to one on HD website just to show you what I mean http://www.homedepot.com/Electrical-...1#.UFtcbI1mQf4
Maybe an electrician can comment as to their safety or if they would recommend one or not.
Well, I'm not sure what to do at this point. Maybe someone else has an idea. My panel already has several twin breakers installed by the builder. There are only 3 regular breakers that I could pull and replace with a twin. But unfortunately that will only free up 1 space. I need 2 spaces for the 220v breaker.
I thought I'd found the ticket when I got a quad pole 30 amp/30amp breaker to use for the dryer and welder circuit but unfortunately the panel would accept it as the bus bar contacts were different. The breaker was a cutler Hammer and looked identical except for that feature.
Would a sub panel for the dryer and welder circuit even be legal? Say I removed the 30 amp dryer breaker and replaced with a 60 amp breaker that fed a subpanel that held the dryer and welder circuit? My panel is literally out of space. It is amazing that builders put a new house together already 100% maxed out for any new additions.
last thought. I rarely use my welder. With that I have considered leaving the wires from my welder circuit in the panel but not connected to any breaker. When I want to weld I could remove the wires from the dryer breaker and replace them with the welder circuit wires. Kind of annoying but possible. Thanks guys!
Since your panel is full and already using tandems I think you should consider installing a sub-panel. Switching wires around is never a good idea regardless of how often you use the welder. A sub-panel will give you what you need and open up a few spaces for other circutry and really won't cost you that much. It will give you room for an exhaust fan circuit, a compressor circuit and whatever else you decide to add in the future. :whistling2:IMO a good investment.

Missouri Bound,
Thanks for the input. Do you have any suggestions for installing a sub panel? I have never done it before and have been searching but have not found any good detailed info.
I was told that installing a sub panel from a breaker on the main panel was not legal?
Here is a shot of the panel.Attachment 57760
There is no NEC prohibition against the subpanel. You would just move 2 single pole circuits out to make room for a new 2 pole breaker that feeds the sub.
jim port,
Cool. Do I match amperage from the breaker on the main panel to the expected amperage usage on the sub? For example, I know I will need at least 60 amps to operate the dryer and welder. Both are 30 amp circuits. Therefore, should my breaker that feeds the sub be 60 amps? What are my limits? Thanks everyone!
I would leave the heavy loads in the main panel and move smaller ones to the subpanel.
You calculate the expected demands to size the subpanel feed. You do not add up the breaker handles to do this.

Vintage Black Glass & Rhinestone Brooch.
I call this the "Bat Brooch". Something about it makes me think of a glamorous Bat Girl taking on Gotham:)
Prong set and beautifully made, each black glass teardrop measures 20mm or a little over 3/4" with the smaller teardrops measuring 15mm. Center focal rhinestone measures 10mm. This brooch is all glass and rhinestone with no decorative adornments, which I find very interesting. The black glass and the shape is statement making in and of itself.
Brooch measures 40mm or 1 5/8"
As this is a smaller brooch, it would look great on a hat or at the collar of a blouse.
Excellent condition and wonderful sparkle to the center stone.

Complementary And Alternative Medicine Studied In Swedish Surgical Care
Massage, acupuncture, healing, homeopathy: use of so-called complementary and alternative medicine is widespread in Sweden and the rest of the western world.
Although still skeptical, surgical healthcare professionals also want to learn more about these methods. These are the findings of a thesis from Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg.
In two studies, clinical nurse specialist Kristofer Bjerså examined the understanding of healthcare professionals regarding complementary and alternative therapies in the context of surgical care at Sweden's seven university hospitals. The findings show that personnel consider it important to know about these methods, and that skepticism still exists alongside a desire to learn more.
Kristofer Bjerså and his colleagues also studied two therapies for postoperative care. One study tested transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) as a complementary pain control method after pancreatic surgery.
"This concerns major abdominal surgery that requires sophisticated pain control in the aftermath, but according to our study, TENS was not effective. In fact, the method posed an obstacle for patients and healthcare personnel, because patients had trouble getting in and out of bed freely due to the extra wires attached to their bodies."
Another study tested osteopathic treatment to relieve pain, stiffness and respiratory limitations in patients who had undergone surgery of the oesophagus through thoracotomy (incision between the ribs). In the study, eight patients received 45 minutes of osteopathic treatment per week for 10 weeks.
"People who have had thoracotomies typically experience long-term chronic pain in the chest. Our study suggests that osteopathic therapy after a thoracotomy may be effective, but more and larger studies are necessary before any recommendations can be made," says Kristofer Bjerså.

NEH Supports Digitization of Historic L.A. Photography Collection
With support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the USC Libraries are digitizing historic photos of 1920s and 1930s Los Angeles from the "Dick" Whittington Collection. With the recent launch of the new USC Digital Library site, we'll be sharing images from the Whittington collection that reveal previously hidden aspects of Southern California's visual history.
The project, which launched in July of 2011, is scheduled to conclude in June of 2013. To date, the libraries have digitized more than 30,000 photographs from the Whittington collection. In the coming months, we will be making them available via the USC Digital Library, as well as Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr. You can learn more about the collection and browse photographs on the USC Digital Library.
Here are a few select images from the project:
1928 photograph of chariot races at the Southern California Fair.
Commercial photograph created for the Graf Zeppelin's historic 1929 round-the-world flight, which was partly funded by newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst in exchange for media coverage rights.
Whittington studio photographers captured much of the lost industrial and commercial history of Los Angeles. This 1931 photo shows a warehouse at 722 Aliso Street, near Alameda Street and the 101 freeway in downtown Los Angeles.

During the past 13 weeks, sixth-graders from Leroy Nichols, Beckman, and Woodbridge elementary schools have participated in a program designed to help improve and change their lives for the better.
GREAT stands for Gang Resistance Education and Training. It was designed by teachers, parents, law enforcement and community leaders and has been in existence since 1991 where it began in Phoenix. Training for peace officers and the cost of student workbooks are paid for by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance.
GREAT is taught to about 450,000 students each year in the U.S., two U.S. territories and several foreign countries. It is a research-based program that is continually evaluated and updated.
The program's goals are to help students avoid gang membership, prevent violence and criminal activity, and develop positive relationships with law enforcement. Students learn the truth about gangs and violence, their roles in their families, schools and communities, goal-setting tips, how to make GREAT decisions, communication skills, empathy for others, responding to peer pressure, anger management and how to resolve conflicts.
During this program, they have the opportunity to participate in activities such as role-playing, small-group work, brainstorming and large-group discussion. They are given handbooks as a creative outlet and as a place to express their thoughts and feelings. Students are provided T-shirts funded by their school's PTA or a civic group to show pride in their program. They wear the T-shirts during each 50-minute weekly lesson and keep their T-shirts at the end of the program.
Through these activities, they learn the skills and behaviors that make it easier to resist and avoid negative influences in their lives.
Every student also participated in a project called "Making My School a GREAT Place." Students were given the opportunity to complete and present a project that helped improve their school and/or community.
To date, schools that have participated in the GREAT program include Beckman, Lakewood, Lawrence, Nichols, Erma B. Reese, and Woodbridge elementary schools.
GREAT is taught at some of the schools in Lodi at the sixth grade level. I say some because in the past, every school that requested the program in a particular school year received it.
This 2011-12 school year will be different because the popularity and overall knowledge of GREAT has grown tremendously. This school year, the Lodi Unified School District will decide which schools get the program. It is my hope that the schools will be on a rotation so all who wish to receive GREAT would have the program at least every other year. Each school equally deserves the program and, unfortunately, there is not one school with children who are not affected by gangs, drugs, violence or crime at some level.
This is the reality facing schools today, but thankfully there are still many things we can do together as educators, parents and law enforcement to protect our children's safety, health, innocence and quality of life.
Any comments, questions or advice for Behind the Badge can be e-mailed to Jeanie Biskup at firstname.lastname@example.com; mailed to Lodi Police Department, 215 W. Elm St., Lodi, CA 95240; or asked by phone at 333-6864.

It took five games, but Canisius College volleyball team was able to outlast the visiting University at Buffalo Wednesday night to post a 3-2 (27-30,30-25,27-30,30-27,15-12) win in a non-conference match in the Koessler Athletic Center. The win marks just the fifth time in the 62 previous meetings that Canisius has posted a victory over its cross-town rivals on the volleyball court.
Canisius trailed 12-10 in the fifth and deciding game, but ran off five-straight points to secure the victory. After Canisius junior Christina Wildes slammed home one of her team best 18 kills to make the score 12-11 in favor of the Bulls, Canisius senior Nicole Lucie went to work and served the next five points to help lead the Golden Griffins to the win. Following a Buffalo timeout with the score knotted at 12-12, Canisius senior Jackie Reed gave the Blue and Gold their first lead of the final game with a her only kill of the night. Lucie hit one of her three aces for the Griffs to drive the score to 14-12. On the game's final serve, UB was whistled for a ball-handling error, the Bulls' seventh of the match.
Canisius has three players post double figures in the kills column, led by Wildes and her 18 kills on 56 attack attempts. Fellow junior Kim Hoffman posted her third-straight double-double with 12 kills and 12 digs, while sophomore Leigh Launhardt had 13 kills, three service aces, one solo block and four block assists. Lucie had eight kills and nine digs in the winning effort, while Reed posted 48 assists for the Blue and Gold.
Buffalo junior Molly Schrantz had 21 kills and a match-high 26 digs for the Bulls who fell to 5-10 overall with the loss. Freshman Nikki Morzenti had 21 kills and four block assists, while teammates Lindsay Matikosh and Alexis Bouie were credited with 11 and 10 kills, respectively. Matikosh added 16 digs in the loss.
Buffalo setter Amy Brown had a match-high 66 assists and 12 digs for the Bulls, while the team's libero Wendy Haskell had 14 digs.
The Golden Griffins are now 8-9 overall this season and have won six of their last eight and four of their last five matches. Canisius will return to action Friday night, Oct. 3, at home for a non-conference match against Binghamton. Game time in the Koessler Athletic Center is set for 7 p.m.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Spring time has arrived at QuiltE's home, and it will stay the year around!! Certain to brighten up those almost Spring Days next year. Beautiful daffodil, Jeanie; well done!!
Thanks, JanRN for the info on the Moon tonight; guineas will not want to go in the hen house at all. Wonder how well the young off shoots of the strawberries would do if we resat them tonight by the light of the moon.?? Those who worshiped in the forest ages age, droids, danced naked in the Strawberry moonlight and chanted their songs.
Dublb, so happy to hear the MB finally arrived to your home. Pony express was faster than that. It gives one a pause to think, where was it???
Jeanie, that block is beautiful and so well done. It goes so nicely with all of QE's other blocks.
Yes, QE, I loved playing Trivial Pursuit but no one wants to play with me because I know all kinds of unimportant stuff and usually win. Can't remember where I leave my glasses but can come up with answers to TP questions. Neat that you know one of the inventors.
And no, QNS, I am not going to dance naked in the moonlight tonight. Don't want to scare my neighbors!!
Imagine all the people living life in peace...(John Lennon 1940-1980)
JanRN ... my claim to fame is only knowing a writer of the Q+A's of one of the later, specialty editions. Just followed the formula of the game, and did the research for related questions. Then there's Kids in the Hall ... one of the Kids, was my husband's cousin, so ate many a meal at our table! He's probably my closest claim to fame! Unless you want to count Alan/Robin Thicke's father/grandfather as being my Dr! It was kinda neat in his office, as it was almost a mini-Alan and Robin museum. I really liked him as a Dr and sadly I moved and had to leave him. He' still practicing and much adored as a Dr ... in his 80s now!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
Correction on self, its 'druids' of olde English..that danced in the forest...almost had it right!! Yep, that's the way I am...almost right...not perfect at all!Yes, JanRN, its big beautiful moon tonight, I got to call dh attention to it. Made my day. Thanks.
I started quilting the airplane quilt I've been working on. Just had a little bit of time to sew before going to a wedding this afternoon. I am debating on if I want more quilting on the 4P...don't have to with my batting. Any suggestions?? One row down...six more to go.
CarrieM ... a great start! Perhaps show us a pic of the whole quilt top again ... I forget! Are you stitching around each of the 4P and airplane blocks? As you know, it's always a matter of what you like ... once you have the minimum quilting distance covered. Some like lots of quilting ... some only minimal.
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
QE--this is the layout I am going to do, but with this compass in the middle. There will also be another border after the propellers.
Carrie, I love it as it is, but as QuiltE says, I'm one that likes minimal quilting. I like a cuddly quilt!
"You have enough quilts made when your soul is filled, your creativity satisfied and your fingers just won't work anymore."
Carriem I like what you have done so far. If you are SID that will probably be enough, sometimes a quilt just need a little love not a whole lot of it.
Here is a pic of the fabric that DD has chosen for Sylvia's Bridal Sampler quilt, I need to get a few more purples, yellows and greens but they can probably come from the stash. Definitely not my colours so we will see how I go with them. Sorry for the bad pic, the lighting today is atrocious, it is very cloudy and dreary.
