text: So the other day I noticed on the rear view mirror of my 03 wrx that there was a strange oval forming. It was brighter than the other parts of the mirror as if it was not tinted ( I live in NE Ohio so it's not like the temps get into the 100s, assuming the temp had something to do with this). The next day I came out and noticed that the spot was still there but had actually moved a little. At first it was connected to the top of the mirror but then it was as if the whole thing had shifted towards the center. I was almost hoping it would just eventually move out of the mirror just like it moved into it. Since then I've noticed some movement but for the most part it seems to have a happy little place right in the center! It appears, as I look into it, that everything is out of focus except if I look right around where the perimeter of the strange oval is. I know it's an electronic rear view mirror but I have never heard of or seen anything like this. Has anyone else ever experienced anything happen like this? If it doesn't go away I'm assuming I'll prlly go to a junk yard or something and get a new one although I havn't looked into it yet to see how hard it'd be to replace it.

With 392 pages, this volume offers a comprehensive guide to one of America's most enjoyable cruising grounds.
Indeed, the 392-page, spiral-bound Chesapeake Bay does have a good deal of advertising among its pages. And while some sailors object to paying for ads, I have always found them useful while we are cruising, as the ads often contain pictures of marinas, make it handy to locate services, or provide a schedule of upcoming events. In fact, if you read between the lines, the ads are sometimes more informative than the text of some guides.
Over the years, the Chesapeake Bay has matured into a first-rate cruising directory. With literally hundreds of beautifully rendered full-color sketch charts, it can nearly serve as a free-standing charting system.
The Guide offers detailed charts of remote regions.
The new volume opens with a general information section packed with sample cruises, lists of museums, hurricane holes, telephone numbers, and a raft of cruising tips. Following that, the bay is divided into nine sections from north to south, each portion aligned to include a major Chesapeake river system, and color coded down the side of the book for quick access to the section needed.
Full-color sketch charts like this one truly enhance a cruiser's understanding of the Chesapeake.
Guide to Cruising Chesapeake Bay, copyright 1999 by Chesapeake Bay Communications, Inc., Annapolis, MD. List price $34.95

By Melanie Fridl Ross
GAINESVILLE, Fla.---Two out of three senior citizens may lack adequate immunity to tetanus, a life-threatening central nervous system ailment contracted when bacteria invade an open wound, usually a deep puncture or cut made by a nail or a knife, University of Florida researchers report in the journal Clinical and Diagnostic Laboratory Immunology.
The findings suggest older Americans are failing to comply with immunization guidelines recommending tetanus boosters at 10-year intervals throughout adult life, said Dr. Desmond Schatz, an associate professor of pediatric endocrinology at UF's College of Medicine and the first author of a paper that describes a five-year study of the issue.
"The bottom line is that tetanus vaccinations are protective against the development of the disease and what is needed is a follow-up vaccination every 10 years to protect against it," Schatz said. "What we are finding is there are certain people-- particularly older people -- who haven't had the vaccinations every 10 years. That puts them at risk for getting the disease and suffering its devastating consequences."
Tetanus, also known as lockjaw, causes painful muscle spasms and is associated with a high death rate. Symptoms include a stiff jaw and neck, difficulty swallowing, muscle rigidity, fever, sweating and rapid heart rate.
Young children receive the DTP vaccine to protect against tetanus and two other diseases, diphtheria and whooping cough. But whether adults should receive routine booster shots to protect against tetanus has been the subject of much debate, with some experts arguing that the disease's increasing rarity and the medical costs associated with vaccination programs do not merit the practice.
Only 40 to 60 cases of tetanus are reported annually, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Most occur in individuals older than 50 who are unvaccinated or whose history of vaccination is unknown.
"The classic situation is you're out in the garden, you drive a nail through your finger or somebody hits you with a golf club and you need stitches," said Mark Atkinson, the study's senior investigator and an associate professor of pathology and medicine and director of UF's Center for Immunology and Transplantation. "Some say we're spending an awful lot of money as a society to protect against the relatively rare event. But if you get a tetanus infection, it's a real painful, very tragic end."
UF researchers studied blood samples taken from 461 randomly selected individuals ages 2 to 73 who were evaluated at UF outpatient clinics and UF's Clinical Research Center from 1992 to 1997. Eighty-two percent of children 2 years and older had cell-mediated immunity to the tetanus toxoid but immunity declined dramatically starting around the age of 41. Less than 30 percent of study participants older than 60 were immune to tetanus. Study participants' immunization histories were not available.
Researchers evaluated participants' so-called "immunological memory," the ability of their white blood cells to recognize rapidly the tetanus toxoid as a foreign invader and direct the immune system's cellular defenses to launch a swift attack.
"It's white blood cells that actually have to get the whole immune process rolling," Schatz said. "They're the ones that have the memory. If you immunize an individual with a vaccine for measles, it's the white blood cells that have the memory that they were once immunized against measles. So we analyzed the level of white blood cell reactivity against tetanus as a function of age."
The UF team's recommendation? Boosters for elderly individuals who already completed a primary immunization regimen, and a primary series of tetanus shots for those who are unvaccinated. Prevention is always better than cure, Schatz said.
"I think we need to put on our hats and be complete doctors," he said. "That includes the prevention of -not just the cure of -- disease."
The study helps focus attention on the need to step up the nation's immunization efforts in adults, said Dr. Douglas Barrett, a UF pediatrician and infectious disease expert.
"It's very clear that vaccination programs are one of the most dramatic and cost-effective advances that have been made in medical research in the last 50 years," said Barrett, who holds the Nemours chair in pediatrics at UF's College of Medicine. "Think about having eradicated smallpox from the face of the earth. Polio also has been abolished in certain countries. We have seen a 90 percent decrease in certain forms of childhood meningitis in the United States. All of those advances are a direct result of effective immunization programs. These are medical miracles. "

Is a prety miserable day here in Welly, wet and VERY windy. We're all boxed up, nearly ready to go and about bloomin' time I caught up with this blog thing.
Yup, we're pretty much at the end of our New Zealand adventures and before we know it we'll be back in the UK. We both can't wait to catch up with friends and family, but we're not quite feeling ready to come back just yet....but more on that later.
It's been a while since I last wrote and I've not got a clue what I put in it so apologies if I start to repeat myself. I am, after all, getting on a bit and it so it's about time I start to act my age!
After pranging the car we looked in to the cost of getting it fixed and it was going to cost almost 50% of what we hoped to sell the car for. We took a punt by putting it on Trademe (ebay never made it to New Zealand, funnily enough) and an English girl saw the old Big Brother mobile, fell in love with it and is now (hopefully) tootling about in it. We managed to sell it for more than we would have made having repaired it and sold at a higher price and so we were pretty happy with it. Once we'd agreed on the sale we did have to take her out for one final frolic.
So we headed for a weekend not far from Wellington, along the south coast. I say not far, but some bloody great mountains means you have to drive due north for a way and then back south to spend 3 hours going about 30km. Was a lovely weekend, one of the last before winter fully set it and we went for a walk to The Pinnacles. I think they're unique in New Zealand for not being in the Lord of the Rings films. They're quite impressive columns of eroded bed-rock about 40m tall and have a weird Underworld feeling about them when you're wandering round their base.
After this was a trip along the coast where you have to be careful how you drive as the seals lie practically on the road. Even if you couldn't see them, you could smell when you were nearby so we stopped to take the obligatory snaps. Felt kind of cheeky taking the car along 20km of dirt tracks with small grit chipping away at the paint work, but hey you've got to seal spot haven't you...?!
So now we're transportless and our activities have all but died away. That is apart from catching one of the few trains (not big on public transport here) up the Kapiti coast last week (pronounced Carpet-y, a sniggering local informed us). We went for a "brisk" walk along the beach, bent at an angle of about 40 degrees as we were walking head first in to a solid wall of 80km winds. We were going to take photos of the foam from the sea whipping past one of us but in the chilly weather and that wind speed we had pretty unphotogenic snotty dribbles practically back to our ears so decided against it!
We also had a weekend down in Christchurch a few weeks back. It was a bit of a treat for me before we leave, the England team were over and playing the All Blacks and who couldn't resist going to watch their team being humiliated? Was great to be at the game though, and I reckon I could stand up to the Hakka....
Whilst in the area we hired a car and drove up the coast to Kaikoura. Having failed to swim with dolphins when we were there just before Christmas (was booked up for over a month in advance) we'd given ourselves a second chance. We woke up to a heavy frost and freezing fog, which really left us enthusiastic to put on a damp wet suit and jump in the Southern Ocean. In all fairness, by the time we'd got there the sun had burnt off the fog and it was looking a nice clear day. But blow me, as we turned up we saw them handing out cash to the early boat as they'd not been able to find any dolphins and they cancelled our trip.
Secretly relieved not to be swimming, but still pretty gutted we rushed down the road and badgered the whale watch operators and they sorted out an extra boat. With only 9 of us on the boat we had loads of space to see the 3 (unfortunately named) sperm whales and found a pod of about 50 dolphins...typical.
Without a car we've been concentrating on doing more things around Wellington which included a trip to a theatre production in a hotel. You're shown up to the suite and taken through the rooms to the living room. As you go through the bathroom I didn't know where to look when I realised there was a woman lying naked in the bath. well I did know where to look, as Kat was following me closely behind....
I was pretty disppointed that the rest of the play was pretty much fully clothed, but I think I hid it well.
We also went to watch the local sporting teams. Oh yeah, we've seen 'em all lose. The Phoenix (football), Hurricanes (rugby), Saints (basketball) and the Pulse (netball).When you add in watching the English cricket and rugby teams lose then we've been pretty unlucky in following sport. One thing that was strange was going to the netball. I went to the loo beforehand and the toilets were one of those huge places with 20 urinals (nice word that) and it must be the only time I've ever been to a sporting (or any) event and been the only one in there. I spent 5 minutes deciding which one to use!
And that kind of brings us up to today. We've been planning our exit from this place for a while, holding off buying anything for the last couple of weeks and eeking out the oil, vinegar etc. We were just reminiscing about our times here (like Kat going to a moving in party and kicking over and breaking an ornament hand made by the host!) when we had a minor change of heart. Work approached me with an offer of increasing my pay if we returned and that was it for us.So, in a late change of plan we've now decided to head back on out to New Zealand in about a month's time (after Fi & Chris's wedding). The opportunity to put off making all those big decisions about where we'll and live and what we'll do was just too good to miss.
Of course, this does mean that there is still opportunity for you guys to pop on over if any of you fancy a holiday?
You too can appreciate the fact that there are adverts for Massey-Fergusson and sheep drench on prime time TV and help us work out just exactly what is sheep drench? Or peach teats for that matter?
I'd best make a move now, we're off for a cocktail and some posh nosh as a celebration of our last weekend here in a while.
Hope you're enjoying the summer back home and look forward to seeing you all in a few week's time!
Nick &Kat

text: Hey fellas, new member here. Here's my problem: Girlfriends truck (98 C1500 5.7 Vortec) has been an excellent truck. It now has 220,000 miles, mostly highway. The truck developed a small coolant leak about a year ago, it is from the intake manifold gasket (pretty sure it's original). Found it was leaking externally, to the front of the engine. No leakage to the oil, the oil stays very clean, no sign of contamination. I have been putting off the intake gasket replacement but now I think I need too... The truck until recently used about a quart of oil in a thousand miles. Totally acceptable by my standards for something with this many miles. The last few months, the oil consumption has gone way up, probably a quart in 300 miles. It has also developed a misfire and I get a PO300 code (Cylinder 3 misfire). When I checked the spark plug in cylinder 3, it showed ashy deposits consistent with oil burning. I put in a hotter plug (one step up) and it didn't help much. Recently tried a spark plug non-fouler, it also didn't help much, still throws the code. It does not smoke on startup. If it did it would make me think a valve seal on cylinder 3. My question is...could the intake manifold gasket have gotten so bad that it is the cause of the oil consumption? I have read where the original gaskets are so awful that they basically fall to pieces. I know I am going to have to replace the gasket but am hoping that I won't have to pull the heads also. Money is tight right now. Any thoughts or experiences with the intake causing oil consumption?

Ott Surfs The Waves For A Chance of Success
Barbara Ott enjoys surfing so much that she gets up at 6 or 7 in the morning to catch the best waves. Barbara then goes back home, eats lunch and then goes back to the surfers' beach in the afternoon for more surfing. The seventeen-year-old hopes that one-day her surfing talents will be recognized on a national scale.
At an early age, Ott loved how she saw the local and visiting surfers body board, shore board or surf the waves just a few blocks away from her home. Once Barbara told her father of her interest in surfing, he was glad to support Barbara's intent on getting into the water. Ott's father taught her the basics every time she got into the water. Now 17 years old, Ott started to get the itch to compete against others. She was asked and convinced by William Acosta, owner of the Tsunami Surf Shop, to enter into some tournaments to compete with other surfers her age. Ott did not hesitate and jumped at the offer.
Ott brims with confidence and that belief in her abilities led her to win big in the Eastern Surfboard Association Summer Classic Tournament in Long Island. She captured first place in the shoreboard event in her age category and also won the Best Wave overall in the women's competition.
Ott takes surfing seriously and knows how big the tides are or when the weather conditions is right or wrong for surfing. Though there are some nice waves in the summer, she knows when exactly the best season is for surfing.
"That happens in late August, September and November. Hurricane season," said Ott. She gets giddy with the early forecasts that the weather may be rough in those three months, which makes for excellent waves for surfers. Though Ott did not go out for the Nor'easter storm, she is definitely looking forward to that type of weather in 2003. "During the Nor'easter last year, it got to about anywhere from 7 to 12 feet" says Ott. "I can't wait." One of her goals is to surf during the winter months. "My ultimate goal is to surf when it's snowing", Ott said.
Ott would love to see more women compete in surfing especially since she is one of the few women who surf in the Rockaway beaches. After an article about her surfing was published in the New York Times, some of her friends and a few girls were interested but not much more came out of it. "When I was in the contest, there was at least eight girls my age and I never seen that many girls that age surf and I never seen that many girls all at one time." Since men dominate the sport, Ott would like to see women become more forceful and involved so sponsors will help support female surfers in the present and the future.
Ott is looking for a sponsor to compete in tournaments across the country and hopefully entering these contests will help her continue her dream of surfing. Now entering her senior year at Beach Channel High School, Ott is definitely thinking about her future. When asked what she might be doing ten years from now, Ott said she would love to keep surfing, teach, or do both. Barbara might even teach surfing to her high school students if anyone was interested. "Teaching surfing in high school. That would be awesome!"

You are herecontent / Blair Again Denies One of the Several Startling Revelations in the Downing Street Documents
Blair Again Denies One of the Several Startling Revelations in the Downing Street Documents
LONDON (AP) - British Prime Minister Tony Blair wants the world to know that the Iraq war was not predetermined by the United States.
Blair tells The Associated Press that the "Downing Street Memo," which was leaked to the media, paints a distorted picture.
The memo suggested that the White House viewed the war with Iraq as inevitable, and that the Bush administration was looking for ways to justify that war, through the use of intelligence about weapons of mass destruction.
Blair says "the decision was not already taken." And he says he's "a bit astonished" at the intense coverage the memo has gotten in the U-S.

I am a bit astonished that Bliar does not seem to understand plain english. What part of "But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy" does he not understand?????
DSM only confirms what was allready understood by those of us who saw the facts being presented by Richard Clarke, O'Neil and others. One does not have to be a rocket scientist to understand that the justification for this war was a pack of lies, you do not need DSM to know that the lead up to the war was a pack of lies.
Tony Blair should step down.
We need to take a lesson from the Rove-ites.
Forget that Blair wants us to read things into the Memo/Minutes that aren't there.
On my blog I chose a different heading for this story.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair becomes the highest ranking source to confirm that the Downing Street Minutes/Memo was authentic!
Blair:Bush Lewinsky:Clinton
Blair is to Bush as Lewinsky is to Clinton
The category is chub smokin'
It appears that Mr. Blair is affraid. He is minimizing Englands reaction to the memo. From what I understand Englands citizens also want their leaders to be up front. Mr. Blair is trying like hell to back pedal. By minimizing, by focusing on our reaction to DSM, by making it appear the DSM memos are unimportant are ways to buy more time to keep this from exploding big time.
It is our responsibility as Americans to demand from our leaders, in cases like this, to come clean.
Last night Mr. Bush had a perfect opportunity to say to the American people that he lied and started the war early, and for that he was asking forgivness. He missed his opportunity to come out of his denial.
Mr. Blair and Mr. Bush need to come clean and stop living in denial.
Looking back decades at the damages of war, power and greed, we dont seem to acknowledge the need for change that comes through a public outcry over a deceipt of an elected official. It is time to clarify past lies to the public:
Johnson, Nixon and Kissenger and Vietnam; Reagan and Iran-Contra;
the silence of the Clinton administration as a million died in African civil war; the Bush alliance with the Saudi family and the blatant fabrication of weapons of mass destruction and a 9/11 connection; Cheny, Bush and Rumsfeld supporting people like Saddham , Bin Laden and Norieaga, when it suits their objectives.
An impartial investigation committee is necessary on both sides of the water to bring forth the truth about the leaked memo
Tony is a bit astonished or a bit petrified?
I am astonished that Bush and Bliar didn't step down after the horrendous mess they have made for so many people in this world.
Saddam, Bush, binLaden, Blair...are all accountable.
I believe Mr. Blair is astonished that the "Roveaganda" to dismiss the existence and validity of the Downing Street Minutes has failed. Fortunately for the reality-based community, the more Bush and Blair feigns astonishment, the more people in the U.S. wake up and understand they have been shocked and awed by deceit.
I'm too astonished that they believe they can just forget about it like it's nothing!
[comment removed for inappropriate content]
You may want to look at the Washingtonpost.com for the "faces of the fallen" to look at the men and women who have died for a lie.
you are such a moron.Unbelievably obnoxious too.
[comment removed for inappropriate content]
You cowardly little anonymous jackass - no, we wouldn't be in Iraq if it weren't for 9/11, because Bush & friends wouldn't have had the excuse they needed, as well as the ability to exploit public fears.
"the decision was not already taken"
Blair will always deny that, cause he want to save his ass and protect big dady bush.
He should have said, we have made terrible mistakes, produce false intelligence, we droped bombs over Irak in 2002.
And also, we have trained and financed terrorist cells in Tchetchenia.
Well, the last one is not in the memo, but it reveals the high connections between US and British services...I mean Britain is in fact the fiftieth state.
Blair is in trouble.
Its the British equivalent of our right-wingers that published the Downing Street memos-- the British war hawks-- that have severely called Blair's judgment into question.
Definitely not a good sign for Blair. Looks like a vote of no confidence is in the works. He's just buying time.
Here at home, even Walter "Freedom Fries" Jones (R) from NC knows when to abandon ship.
Your correct there just buying time.And like everything else from the Bush administration they are working on distracting from this being investigated.God I can't believe the media is 100% working for Bush,it makes me sick.
So the morons in our whitehouse did there distractions to get the focus of this memo,Dick-last throghs,Rummy-12 years,condi-generations.Also they let it out there were negotiting with terroists,all of the above was done to distract from the Downing Street Memos.
Just by what they distracted with shows how concerned they are.
And the fact they played this game just before the elections shows how concerned they are.
They should be,this is solid evidence they wanted war combined with testimonies from many.
This is criminal(war) and needs to go in front of a grand jury immediately,as we have men in war.
Bush is a WAR CRIMINAL,and these are very serious charges.
that will be the unraveling, like Watergate.

"Think of David Oyelowo as a single musician playing all the instruments in a symphony. That is essentially what he manages in this inspired performance of John le Carré's suspense novel about a planned coup in the Congo and the interpreter of mixed parentage who wrestles with his conscience and his past to determine what he is to do about it. The cast of characters is wide and exotic, and Oyelowo's capacity to invest them not only with sumptuous accents but also distinctive, often biting personality is matchless. Can it really have been only one man in the narrator's recording booth? This virtuoso performance makes that seem impossible." --AudioFile Magazine

Pixel Defenders Puzzle DEMO
by: Gary Whittle • 500
All Android applications categories
All Android games categories
by: Gary Whittle • 500
Published: 2014-03-17, by Janel Torkington.
There are those games that are genre-less, and then there are those that present a veritable Vegas-style buffet of genres all riddled together into one. Gary Whittle Pixel Defenders Puzzle is a classic board game, a complex fantastic strategy game, and a friggin' match-3 game all at once, done up in oh-so-retro pixel finery, pleasingly reminiscent of the first Final Fantasy titles.
Each turn, you'll be presented with a tile to place upon the game board. Match three tiles to create a unit, or to upgrade one already on the board. Every turn and match accumulate action points, which you can use through your created units to attack the enemies which appear atop a ledge. If the enemies complete their own turn countdown, they'll rain down hellfire and brimstone (or arrows, or magic, or whatever) on your V.I.P., generally a prettyish princess in peril. There's a zillion little tools and upgrades, gizmos and tricks - it sounds complicated, and it is, and there's a great tutorial that walks you through the basics before you begin.
I've never seen this intermingling of genres done so well. The complexity of the rules and the gradual ramping-up of difficulty feel balanced and keep you engaged. The retro-pixel look is getting tired, but neither does such a strategy-focused game necessarily require the latest and greatest visuals known to appkind.
Note that the demo version only includes the tutorial version and the first five levels. Once you shill out for the full version, there are no in-app purchases.
Gary Whittle Pixel Defenders Puzzle is a seriously clever mash-up; we could call it the Girl Talk of strategy apps. It'll appeal to Chess nerds who secretly dabbled in D&D on the weekends. Come armed with patience, luck, and a plan for the long game.

D&E Green Enterprises, Haiti
Quick-cooking stoves that help protect Haiti's forests
Inspired by the achievements of Ashden winner Toyola Energy in Ghana, in 2009 the Haitian entrepreneur Duquesne Fednard founded a business to help create jobs and cut fuel bills on the island, by making and selling quick-cooking charcoal stoves.
But after the earthquake destroyed his newly built factory and equipment, Duquesne was on the brink of giving up. His staff persuaded him to carry on, and makeshift production started in tents. They were right to do so – despite a further setback when the tents were shredded in last year's hurricane, the business is now doing well, selling 33,000 stoves over the past three years, helping ease the strain on Haiti's severely depleted forests.

Date of Stay: October, 2015
We are staying the month of October, as we have done for several years. This is a very nice park, lots of shade, mostly level sites, with lots of room between sites. Most sites are long enough for a 40' MH with toad. No open fires are allowed at the sites, but fire pits are provided along a grassy area next to a fast-flowing stream. Roads and sites are limestone, and the roads are a little dusty, but folks drive slow and don't stir up much dust. Excellent WiFi signal strength throughout the park, but definitely needs more bandwidth. They have a nice clubhouse with game room, pavilion with walls that open up, covered shuffleboard court, miniature golf, kids playground, and a very nice activities building that is used for various activities including square dancing and non-denominational church services. A store with basic RV supplies has just opened. They have quite a few cabins for rent also. The CG is about 5 miles from Maggie Valley, NC, on hwy 276 between hwy 19 and I-40. Maggie Valley is a laid-back little town surrounded by mountains, about 5 miles from Waynesville, NC. It is a very convenient place to "headquarter" and take day trips to many interesting places in the area. You can get on the Blue Ridge Parkway at one end of the valley, go across the mountain to Cherokee, NC, then across the Smokey Mountains to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge (about 1 1/2 hours). There are several campgrounds around Maggie Valley, but we think this one is the best!
Date of Stay: May, 2012
Very nice RV park! Paved, wide streets and level sites with lots of beautiful shade trees. The owners are very nice and try to help in any way they can. Quite a few really long pull-throughs for big rigs. You can keep the toad hooked up if you want. You won't go wrong on this one!
Date of Stay: May, 2012
This is one of the nicest RV parks we have ever stayed in. The big-rig pull-through sites are huge, with plenty of space to park the toad beside the motorhome. The sites are all level with lots of beautiful shade trees, good WiFi coverage, very quiet, yet convenient location. The interior roads are nice and smooth. The roads are covered with white rock and the sites have red rock, creating a really beautiful look. The park is run by a man and his wife who have owned it for about 30 years. Everything is immaculate!

HART puts on powerful 'Mockingbird' show
HART could take its "To Kill a Mocking Bird" cast of 23 on the road. From Dave Evanoff's Atticus Finch to the jailhouse mob and the courtroom observers, there isn't a weak player on the stage.
Before the show Saturday night, director Wanda Taylor was excited.
"Wait until you see Atticus," she said. "I didn't want him to mimic Gregory Peck (the film's Oscar-winning lead) and he doesn't. He's taken the role of Atticus and made it his own."
Indeed he has. Evanoff's Atticus infuses with passion the role of the idealistic attorney who defends a black man of 'taking advantage' of a young white woman in 1930's Alabama. Playwright Christopher Sergel doesn't use the rape word in his adaptation of Harper Lee's 1960 Pulizer Prize-winning semi-autobiographical novel. But he uses the n-word, and Taylor addresses that in the program notes:
"I struggled for weeks in deciding if we should sanitize our play by using a milder term. I discussed the issue with several African American friends and certainly with the African American actors in our play… I decided not to change the word as used in the script… The fact that in 2014 so many of us are startled, shocked, offended at the word 'nigger' demonstrates at least one small step in the right direction since 1935..."
Actor Terrence Littlejohn owns the part of the accused black man Tom Robinson. Producers of this play should be seeking him out. The graduate of Clyde A. Erwin High School earned a Bachelor of Science degree in communications from Wake Forest University, a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from Arizona State University, and a Master's degree in communication from the University of Tennessee.
The seasoned actor is an accomplished member of both the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribesof Oklahoma. The Sergel script requires that Littlejohn speak in the dialect of an uneducated man of color accused of an unspeakable crime in a violently segregated small Alabama town during the Depression. Littlejohn becomes that man.
Children onstage can be scene stealers, and Lily Bates' Scout, Jacob Shanken's Jem and Luke Walker's Dill live up to that reputation. Charmers all, director Wanda Taylor can be proud of their work and of her work with them.
The play's plot is pushed forward by the author's frequent use of a narrator. Some reviewers, and a couple of folks in Saturday night's audience, find that hook disconcerting. For this reviewer, the narrator was a welcome thread in the story's rich tapestry.
Depicting the child Scout as an adult, Carolyn Pope was a good casting decision. Pope fluffed a line or two in her lengthy monologs, but the South Carolina native brought a refreshingly authentic smooth Southern accent and delivery to the stage which was easy to listen to.
The second act's courtroom scene is riveting. Evanoff makes a strong, believable trial lawyer. Offstage, he's a college chemistry professor. The blue ribbon in thespian lawyering has to go to the prosecuting attorney Gilmer, however. Played to perfection by local lawyer Bill Cannon, he's at home in the courtroom.
They're both cut down to size by the play's judge, Sylva attorney and HART board member Phil Haire. The former longtime state legislator is straight out of Central Casting, seersucker suit, bowtie and all. Saturday night's audience was dusted with lawyers who were there partly to see their peers perform.
"To Kill a Mockingbird" is more than theatre. It's a morality play about dark days in the United States. As Taylor points out in the playbill, the nation was just five years past the Emmett Till murder and the Montgomery bus boycott when Harper Lee wrote the book. Selma and the Mississippi murders were yet to come. The cast and crew of HART's production have joined the nation-wide YMCA "Stand Against Racism Focus for 2014."
At the Sunday matinee May 4 the cast and audience will discuss the play and how racism in America has changed since 1935. Audiences are packing the HART house for this one.
HART Executive Director Steven Lloyd was there opening night and didn't get a seat. Remaining performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. May 2, 3, 9, and 10 and at 3 p.m. May 4 and 11. For tickets, call 828-456-6322 for reservations or go online tohttp://www.harttheatre.com/.

On Saturday, Mommy and Daddy took me to see my new vet. It was a kinda long ride so I snoozed in Mommy's lap. Mommy says I'm a good traveller. When we got there I was a little scared because everyone started crowding around me. They all know Mommy and Daddy and were excited to meet me because most of them were there when my angel brother Shiloh went to heaven a few weeks ago. But there were also other dogs there and I got to sniff noses and butts!
The vet said I am in excellent condition, I knew that already. Except there are wormies in my tummy. Mommy has given me medicine for 3 days. I think the wormies are all gone, but in a few weeks Daddy will have to take some of my poop to the vet. Lucky Daddy!
Finally, Mommy and Daddy came and got me. Even though I had only spent 3 nights at their house I knew it was my forever home and I love it! When we got there, Mommy took me on a nice walk, and then I wandered all over the house, checking out my beds. Yes, you heard me right, I used to live in a horrible metal cage and now I have 3 beds that are all mine!!!!!
We all cuddled, walked some more and then went to bed. It was great!
Today, Daddy stayed home with me while Mommy went to work. I'm not to sure about men, but Daddy is so calm and easy with me. We walked and cuddled, and I napped alot! Now mommy is home and the pack is all together.
Yesterday my granmommy left me with that really big scary man that she says is my grandaddy. He hasn't done anything to me, but when I was at the puppy mill someone like him must have treated me really bad. I am just soooo scared of him!
Well, anyway, I was alone in the house with him and believe me, I stayed as far away from him as I could. He was in the food room, I think it is called the kitchen, doing something and he was singing while he worked. It sounded kinda nice so I quietly scooted down the hall to where I could see him, but still had plenty of get-away space. He looked at me and I skeedaddled! But he didn't stop singing, or come after me. He just kept working in the food room. So this time I went to the edge of that room and watched him. He would sort of glance at me every now and then but he never came near and he kept on singing that nice soothing song.
When he was done, I ran back to the sleeping room, just in case it was a trick. But maybe he isn't too bad.

Residential developer
Knight Frank has launched a residential project marketing business in NSW headed by Andrew Drury, Noel Lucas-Martinez and Craig Moore. The executive chairman of Knight Frank Australia, Stephen Ellis, said the team was in line with the group's expansion and would complement the "already strong project marketing businesses" in other capitals. Mr Drury joined from CBRE and had previously set up a marketing division at Winten Property. Mr Moore also joined from CBRE after years with Stockland and Multiplex. Mr Lucas-Martinez was previously at Colliers International, McGrath and Sterling Estates. Knight Frank has a strong residential business in other global markets and project marketing teams in Victoria, Queensland, WA, the NT and Tasmania. Robert Harley
The Banero Broiler Farm at Mallala, 58 km north of Adelaide, has been sold for $3.06 million. The agent, Jesse Manuel from Colliers International, Rural & Agribusiness, said Banero was a quality chicken grow-out complex, now operating as a free-range farm on 50.49 ha and with six climate-controlled tunnel sheds contracted to Baida Poultry. "As well as existing producers and agribusiness funds, there are several parties from outside the industry looking at investment in the sector," Mr Manuel said. Meanwhile, the Pro Poultry processing facility at Tailem Bend was sold for $300,000 through Colliers.

Pain evaluation and control after routine procedures in cattle
€ 68,00
Lieferbar innerhalb von 2-3 Tagen
August 2012
BeschreibungIf animals were just an organic machine capable of transmitting only electric signals and responding instinctively to them, we should only be concerned with pain in as much as it impacts on our safety or on the animals' performance. But because evidence shows that this is not the case it seems clear that before studying pain evaluation and alleviation the basic question should be answered: why is it correct to control pain in animals? Although in most developed countries there is a strong feeling towards our moral obligation to control pain in animals, we are still far from implementing it due to cultural, practical and economic reasons. This will change and we have to use science to lead us in the more adequate path. This book addresses both ethical and scientific issues of controlling pain in farm animals. It is a very small step of a long way still to be fulfilled.
PortraitG. Stilwell took his veterinarian degree in 1986 and worked as a large animal practitioner for 15 years. He is currently lecturing Farm Animal Clinics and Bioethics at the Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária-UTL in Lisbon, but continues to do clinical work, mainly with cattle. He did his PhD on animal pain and is a ECBHM Diplomate. Author of 6 books.

Mongeon wins primary in Rutland state's attorney race
09/11/02 12:00AM By Nina Keck
| Download MP3
(Host) In Rutland County, long-time incumbent James Mongeon defeated Brian Marthage in the republican Primary for Rutland County State's Attorney. Voter turnout was relatively low and unofficial results indicate Mongeon won by several hundred votes.
VPR's Nina Keck has more.
(Keck) James Mongeon didn't lose much sleep over his last four elections - he ran unopposed. This time, however, the 54-year-old incumbent faced a challenger: 35-year-old Brian Marthage, a deputy state's attorney in Bennington.
Mongeon's record in the courtroom and his relations with local law enforcement came under fire in the race. But Mongeon campaigned heavily on his 24 years of experience as a public prosecutor, which seemed to appeal to voters.
While Mongeon couldn't be reached, challenger Brian Marthage says even though he lost, he thinks it was important to provide voters with a choice.
(Marthage) "If this race served one significant purpose for the community, I think it's to bring to the fore some issues that have been festering for a while. And hopefully the message that Jim will get is that things need to change. So even though I didn't prevail on that, I think the vote totals show that that message resonated with a fair number of voters who were out there."
(Keck) Republican James Mongeon will now face Democratic Challenger Lamar Enzor, a deputy state's attorney for Windsor County - on November 5.
For Vermont Public Radio, I'm Nina Keck in Rutland.

Imagine a games console that senses you aren't getting pumped up enough by a game, and so increases the intensity until it quite literally gets your juices flowing. The PS4 could have been that console.
Lead system architect Mark Cerny has revealed that, during the DualShock 4's development, Sony trialled gamepads capable of measuring players' galvanic skin response. It's a measure of how conductive your skin is at any given time, which varies based on how much you're sweating. When you're stressed, you sweat more, and that's why galvanic skin response is often used in lie-detecting polygraph tests.
"We had a long research project where we looked at pretty much any idea we could think of," says Cerny. "Would it help to measure the galvanic response of the skin? We tried out a tremendous number of things - and then we went to the game teams to ask them what they thought they could use from the controller."
Cerny's 30-plus-year career has taken in the likes of Marble Madness and Sonic the Hedgehog 2. After a stint working as a consultant for Sony Worldwide Studios, he's taken on his biggest gig yet – devising the hardware specification of Sony's next-gen console, while also developing PS4 launch title Knack.
Back to the drawing board
Although stress-sensing skin sensors didn't make the cut, the PS4 controller does feature a touch pad, among other developer-approved refinements. But as well as adding bells and whistles to the DualShock 4, Cerny's team focused on the core gaming experience – particularly first-person shooters.
"Historically we have heard many times that our controllers have not been ideal for first-person shooters," he admits, "so we wanted to make sure we had something that would be much better for that genre. We tested the throw of the triggers, the position of the triggers, how much pressure it takes. We looked at the joysticks, the dead spot, we looked at convexity and concavity." The end result, he says, "feels extraordinarily natural."
"I haven't heard a negative comment about it yet," he says. "For a controller with a very different form factor that was just amazing to see."
Having got our hands on the DualShock 4, Stuff can confirm that it walks all over its predecessor. Now, if only that rumoured November 13th release date would roll around…

LOOKING BACKWARD What The Wave Said 20 Years Ago This Week
What The Wave Said 20 Years Ago This Week
Phase I of the Hartman Y's five-year multi-million dollar plan to revitalize its Seagirt Boulevard campus has been completed, according to Harry Wertlieb, the organization's development chairman.
Commitments were obtained this week that the Gateway National Park will make toilet facilities, drinking water and parking available to disabled men and women, according to Samuel Sperber, the president of a handicapped advocacy group.
Edgemere Avenue and Beach 35 Street were once again under water last week as a heavy rain fell for a few hours.
The Bethel AME Church in Arverne, which was destroyed by a raging fire recently, was the scene of a fundraiser for the restoration of the building.
There will be an American Irish musical salute to Ireland at Beach Channel High School this Saturday night. Featured are Mickey (Mr. Rockaway) Carton, Mary O'Dowd and Charlie Slavin.
A local group has called once again for the wooden boardwalk to be replaced with concrete. A spokesperson for the group says that it will last longer, will not burn and will cost less than constantly repairing the present wooden walk.
Police Officer Roy Popple of the 101 Precinct in Far Rockaway was presented with three awards by the precinct's community council last week. The awards were for his many dangerous arrests in the last month.
Despite petition signatures by hundreds of residents, the city has decided not to extend the boardwalk from its present end at Beach 126 Street further westward.
Numerous bonfires on the beach have been spotted this summer, according to residents who live nearby the beach on the west end. "These fires are so intense that they can be felt by those who live in the area of the beach," said one complainant.

South Antrim MLA Trevor Clarke has praised Roads Service for a "truly commendable performance" in completing a new footway at Edenduff Cottages outside Antrim.
Mr Clarke said that local residents had been pleased to hear that the provision of a new footway was placed on a list of schemes to be carried out by 2014.
"However I want to commend Roads Service for their hard work and I, along with the residents are overwhelmed that this work was delivered before the advised time," Mr Clarke said.
Mr Clarke said that parents and residents were concerned about the safety of school children, who had to cross the road several times a day.
"The residents are extremely happy with the work carried out and therefore I want the department to know how much they are appreciated for their hard work."

Drug prices jump 7.1 percent in 2004, AARP study says
AARP's annual Watchdog Report released yesterday tracked the prices drug manufacturers charged wholesalers last year for about 200 prescription drugs and 75 generics popular with older Americans.
But the Pharmaceutical research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), told the Associated Press that the AARP study was misleading on two counts.
PhRMA said the study compares brand-name drug prices with general inflation, rather than medical inflation. The trade group also said the AARP study relies on the wholesale acquisition price, which does not take into account rebates and discounts provided by the manufacturer.
"It's just not indicative of what people pay at the counter," Lori Reilly, PhRMA's deputy vice president for policy and research told the AP.
Reilly said, when compared with medical inflation, prescription drug prices, including generics, rose about 4 percent versus 4.7 percent for other medical services. The 4 percent increase is based on the consumer price index, which Reilly said is the most accurate measure for what consumers actually pay.
AARP said that since the end of 1999, the average wholesale price of more than 150 popular brand-name drugs rose an average 35.1 percent, nearly three times the 13. 5 percent inflation rate over that period, the report said.
Among the 25-best selling drugs on the market in 2003 and 2004, the sleep medication Ambien saw the largest price jump at 11.9 percent. Flomax, used to treat enlarged prostates rose the least at 1.5 percent, the report said.

TORRINGTON >> If the Torrington Historical Society takes over a long-delayed project to restore the historic Skee's Diner, it could be turned into a working restaurant again instead of a museum or visitor's center.
President Mark McEachern said Tuesday that the group "would like to see it downtown" and believes a restored 1940s-style diner that serves food could be a tourist attraction that fits well with bigger downtown revitalization efforts in Torrington.
"If we do decide to move forward, we would most likely see it used for food service, not a static museum-type installation, but something that's actually in use," he said. "It would be more akin to living history than anything else. ... There's a real interest in actually seeing it operated as a diner. We think there would be more interest in it generated by that use than any other."
Whether the Historical Society will take ownership of Skee's Diner is still a big "if."
McEachern said that decision hasn't gone to his board of directors yet. The group received a $2,500 grant and launched a study in August of the feasibility of the project. It has hired an architect who is evaluating potential locations for the diner and the cost of restoration.
McEachern believes the Historical Society can bring the cost of the project down to "much less" than what the Northwest Connecticut Chamber of Commerce had planned to spend on converting it to a visitor's center to be placed in a park-and-ride lot off Exit 44 of Route 8.
The chamber's plan included ancillary facilities and infrastructure that McEachern doesn't think will be necessary if the goal is to put it back into use as a working diner.
Since purchasing the diner from St. Maron's Church more than six years ago, the Chamber has had difficulty in raising money to support the visitor's center vision.
Complicated negotiations with the state Department of Transportation and environmental agencies have also delayed the project. The Chamber has spent close to $100,000 on that process so far, and President JoAnn Ryan has estimated a "conservative $150,000" would be required to move the diner from its present site across from the police station on Main Street and do the environmental cleanup necessary on the land beneath it.
Ryan said Tuesday that the latest holdup is getting a signed agreement from the church to do that cleanup.
"We can't even send in the application for the Brownfields (funding)," she said. "We don't own the property. We only own the diner."
She is happy that the Torrington Historical Society has expressed an interest in taking over Skee's Diner, and said that the Chamber has shifted its focus on a visitors center to establishing a downtown presence at 61 Main St., in association with a new children's museum being built by supporters of the Warner Theatre and others.
"We are most supportive of (the Historical Society's interest)," Ryan said. "That's their niche. That's their expertise. How wonderful that we can work with them to somehow get the project moving forward."
Skee's Diner was built in 1932 and is believed to be among only a dozen left in the country that were built by the manufacturing company Jerry O'Mahoney founded in 1928. It was moved to Torrington in 1944, at the end of World War II, and had its heyday when Torrington's manufacturing company, including the Torrington Company, was at its heyday.
The Historical Society is serious enough about the project that its actively looking for a large indoor space where the diner could be stored while it is restored.
"I'm saying all this with a huge caveat," McEachern said, which is that his board has only "informally discussed" the project and not approved it. "We're not there yet."

Title: Konkura Plank Challenge 30 OCT 2010
Description: another first attempt at a Konkura challenge. This was a first run (for camera angles / position ) at the Plank Challenge. Shot this at my local SNAP Fitness this morning. this first attempt is only 64 seconds - longer one to come.
Added On: 10/30/2010 12:41:00 PM
If the competitors in your challenge will just have to complete the challenge and say they did it (or post a photo or video as proof), select "Just do it challenge".
If they need to post a single number (such as a time, distance, weight or number of reps) as their score, then select "Single measured event challenge".
If you want them to do more than one thing and post a score for each (or if they need to post one score plus another number such as their age or weight so that you can use that to adjust their score) select "Multi-event challenge".

Olympia, that's an interesting point of view. I think the exact opposite - if Kim won silver, she'd still make Korean history, bringing it its first Figure Skating Olympic medal. When one comes from a dynasty, OTOH, silver is irrelevant - in essence Asada "lost" Japan its silver. When Gedevanishvili made it into top 10 at Worlds, it was a big deal in Georgia, precisely because it's never happened before; for a skater from Russia, this wouldn't even be considered an achievement at all.
Generally I'd agree with you, Ptichka. But in this case, everything seemed to point the opposite way. Maybe it's the fact that Korea is on the rise as an economic power and felt as China does that a sport victory is a sign of the country's increasing prestige in the world. I also get the feeling that in Korea and in Japan, skating is followed with a near-religious intensity, the way Americans view football (American style football) or some other countries grind to a halt for the World Cup playoffs. Whatever the reason, I think this was a huge moment, and this girl was standing under a hanging rock the size of which we don't often see. Remember that by all evidence, YuNa is considered the best-known person in Korea--and a Korean is the current Secretary General of the U.N.!
I do agree that Mao was under tremendous pressure from Japan, because people there are just as devoted to skating as Koreans are. If there was ever a time I could have wished for a tie for gold, this was it! But huge as the stakes were for Mao, I think they were a bit bigger for YuNa. Or maybe that's where the tie was--both ladies were under equal pressure! I know my heart was in my mouth for both of them, and I was equally proud of the drive and coolness that both showed that night. Weren't we lucky to see it?
I think Olympia's post is eloquent and full of many nice thoughts. I agree with most of it.
The feelings she describes are her own though. The feelings of 60 million Koreans are also their own thoughts.
Yuna was very well trained, believed in herself when it came time to skate - and in her own words "did not feel so much pressure."
She did no interviews and was sequestered leading into the Olympics. Orser did everything possible to keep her in the right frame of mind.
Orser himself was impressively calm and his experience can never be overlooked.
Anyway - a contest about who felt the most pressure - when we will absolutley never know - is a definite sign that the off-season is here
I apologize if my posts on this upset any Yuna fans. I happen to be a Yuna fan myself and think she is a wonderful and historic Olympic champion.
And I think Sarah pulled off an upset in SLC that was also historic in it's own way. I don't believe a single word from any fan who tries to play it down by saying Sarah was not under pressure.
How silly to think Sarah grew up and DID NOT DREAM of becoming Olympic champion.
Like Yuna, Sarah had her monment and made the most of it.
I don't think anybody said Yuna can feel pressure but not Sarah, but that Sarah was able to skate "free" compared to her competitors (like Irina & Michelle) because she wasn't under some crushing pressure or expectation to win OGM, esp. given that she didn't finish top 3 after SP.
Many were skeptical that she would be at her best in SLC.
That season Sarah had already beaten Michelle and Irina. Her program easily help up or surpassed them on difficulty.
She was the world bronze medalist. She was among the favorites to medal in SLC.
To make it sound like she came out of nowhere to steal the Gold is not true.
She was a very competitive girl. As it turned out she was a little too competitive for Irina, Sahsa and Michelle.
There is always a teeny element of luck in any sporting event. Sarah "made her own luck" by skating her best at the Olympics. But even so, there were a number of things outside of Sarah's control that had to fall just right.
Sarah was somewhat held up in the short program. She received scores as low as 5.1 and 5.2 in technical merit, and could easily have been placed behind both Funie Suguri and Maria Butryskaya. If she had come out of the SP in 5th or 6th it would not have mattered how brilliant her free skate was.
Plus, in the SP many observers thought Slutskaya should have placed first with Michelle second. If that had happened, Slutskaya would have won the overall gold no matter what Sarah did in the LP.
Then in the LP, Michelle did not have to beat Sarah to win the gold. All she had to do was beat Slutskaya for second. Michelle fell and Slutskaya teetered and tottered but stayed on her feet, inserting herself between Sarah and Michelle in the LP and giving Sarah the victory, five judges to four. Slutskaya and Hughes were tied in factored placements overall, and Sarah won on the tie-breaker.
Well, that's sports. Good for her.
Most of the people I knew felt like Sasha would be the one that would sneak in there if the better skaters Michelle or Irina faltered so although Sarah beat Michelle...and Irina that one time not many people seem to pick Sarah.
It is sport...I'm glad this time the favorites (the overall best skaters) went 1-2. I didn't care which order.

This "little" magazine featured Sarah on the cover of their Olympic preview:
and they predicted her as the one to beat in their feature skating article about the Ladies event:
And here is how it ended when the skating was over:
At the end of this clip it shows a four year old Sarah saying " I want to to go to the Olympics and win the Gold medal. Maybe that is why she had "no pressure" - because she already knew at age 4 she was going to be an Olympic Champion.

Nah, this article was Time magazine's little attempt at trying to find something mildly controversial to say about the Olympics. Time's editorial staff was based in New York and this article was pretty much just smiled upon in the skating world as playing up the "home-town girl nakes good" angle.
In sober fact, Irina Slutskaya was the Olympic favorite, Time magazine's patriotic flag-waving about an American sweep notwithstanding. Time didn't even assign a sports writer to do the piece. (Alice Park is Time's senior science reporterr. She writes about health and medical news.)
When Sarah won, Time came up smelling like roses.and got to lord it over all the other prognosticators.
I saw yesterday a fluff of her in a grand slam or something of 1999, then I liked her more cause she had not skated in Slc yet! I was bad and immature I know but her placement after Olys didnt help either! Great skate of the night yes, but one of the greatest in Olys? Hardly.. I have SLC too recent as I rewatched all events last month, and while i watched men with a smile, and even pairs, the ladies i watched like "please someone get me a time machine"! Her program looked better this time but if it wasnt for youtube ..previously I had no memory of her program at all, I only remembered the color of her dress and her reaction at k&c. And I dont even remember the sp. And that were enough considering she beated Michell and Irina in the same night and none has OG now, I have a tendancy to erase quickly the bad memories!..At least Michelle has a phd now

When Children Help Children
Natalie Laizure makes wishes come true for medically fragile kids
Natalie Laizure is a very creative young lady.
The sixth-grader at Forest Hills Elementary School transformed a simple class project into a wonderful Christmas gift for the children of the Providence Child Center.
'Our teacher asked us to do a report on a community place we know about,' Natalie said. 'Right away I thought about my dad.'
Her dad is Chip Laizure, a member of the center's foundation board, and he has long kept Natalie and her 10-year-old brother Cade well-informed about the center's remarkable work - it is the only center in 12 states that offers full-time care for children who require medical care around the clock.
Dad's message has really hit home with his daughter, and she brought that message to her classmates at Forest Hills.
'I wanted us to think about how lucky we are,' Natalie said. 'Sometimes we say, 'I just got a new game. I'm going to ask for another.' We don't think how we get to go to school and hang out with our friends when these kids are learning how to talk.
'In my speech I told about the 'Make A Wish' book, which shows all of the needs the kids have.'
Jennifer Laizure, Natalie's mother, noted: 'She showed what a difference can be made by answering one child's wish.'
When Natalie asked her classmates to give, they dug deep. They ended up giving $200 to the Providence Child Center Foundation. Some of the generosity was stunning. A friend named Zhou gave $50.
'I told her she didn't have to give that much,' Natalie said. 'But she did.'
'Natalie is a wonderful example,' said DeAnne Coppenger, a staff member of the foundation. 'When children give back to children it means much more than just the monetary value. It plants seeds for the future.
'I think it's just amazing of how she thought of our kids. She also showed how her whole family thinks of our mission for children.'
When Natalie presents the check to the foundation board next week, it will be quite an occasion, because she plans to sing some Christmas songs, including 'Santa Baby.'
'I love singing,' Natalie said.
'She has a very good voice,' admits brother Cade, who often serves as her audience when she breaks out in song in the car.
People should sing the praises of Natalie Laizure. She has made a lot of kids happy, and she has made her family very proud.
'Natalie just cares,' Jennifer Laizure said.

Nobody ruins my day without my permission, and I refuse to grant it...
Thanks for taking the time to shoot the videos. They were very educational, and good to show new people just what a swarm on the wing looks like. Good job getting the lure hive there for them to choose to go in, and in scooping up the remaining hold-outs. I hope they thrive now.

Always a joy to watch swarms. Especially after being cooped up inside this looooong cold winter.

The Foreign Affairs Office of China's Ministry of National Defence said yesterday it was unaware of any redeployment. But a reduction in the missile force was suggested by Chinese President Jiang Zemin when he met US President George Bush in October. Taken by surprise, the Bush Administration played down the proposal at the time.
Mr Jiang and his heir-apparent, Vice-Premier and Communist Party head Hu Jintao, raised Taiwan in their meetings here with US Secretary of State Colin Powell on Monday. But when asked by a reporter what China had to gain from helping with Iraq and North Korea, Mr Powell said: "That's not the right question. The right question is, the whole world - what the whole world stands to gain?"
If the redeployment is confirmed by Beijing or verified by US spy satellites, it would be a confidence-building gesture. Even Mr Jiang's raising of the missile issue was a departure for Beijing, which had regarded such defence deployments towards Taiwan as a strictly internal issue not to be debated with foreign powers.
Analysts think Beijing would have two objectives. The first, to head off the new military aid Mr Bush has promised Taiwan, including modern destroyers, eight conventional submarines, and anti-missile systems.
The second, to improve the chances in next year's Taiwan presidential elections of the Kuomintang (KMT), the Chinese nationalist party, which still aims at eventual reunification of China.
A benign-looking China would help KMT candidate Lien Chan and win votes from President Chen Shui-bian's Democratic Progressive Party, which won power in 2000.
US and Taiwan defence circles would regard a missile cutback with deep scepticism. Missiles can be shipped back to Fujian much quicker than new defences can be sent to Taiwan.
But US and other Western countries have been hammering Beijing on the missile build-up ever since the 1996 crisis, when president Bill Clinton sent aircraft carriers in response to Chinese missile firings during Taiwan elections.
