Briscoe, left, says fur prices are on the upswing, end that Pontotoc County is full of game. The small fry, right, investigating the feel of e skunk's tail, is Timmy, Briscoe's son, aged three. (WEEKLY Photo). Tim« was when all a country boy had to do to sack up a little money for Christmas was! to catch himself some fur. Opossum, raccoon, red fox. ] skunk . . . you name it. Produce houses in every town in Oklahoma had a ready market for all kinds of pelts. Along about, the first of December each year, boys who were naturally in-; dined to chounce around in the woods were right in their element, and they got pretty fair pay for doing something they liked to do. Something happened to the fur market, though, several years ago. Prices went so low that even a far-ranging country boy couldn't make enough out of the business in two month's time to; buy himself a pair of lace-up boots. Tramping the woods and setting traps just wasn't worthwhile at all. So steel traps rusted in the bam. and hounds got fat and lazy and the only hunting done was strictly for sport. Then, right out of the blue this year, the cycle changed. "Fur prices are making a comeback.'' Ishmael Briscoe of' Stonewall said this week.! "Chances are, before too long. the business will be booming again." Briscoe is furnishing one of the few markets for pelts in Pontotoc County. Prices aren't too impressive yet. but he thinks1 they will go up steadily as demands increase. "Must be that the United States isn't getting so many furs from Russia." Briscoe said. "I don't exactly know what's bringing the market back, but this year it's definitely worthwhile. And a good thing about it is that Pontotoc and Coal counties are full of fur-bearing animals. Most of the furs I buy are coming from these two counties." Folks aren't trapping much, though. Briscoe says. Most of his pelts come from local hunters who catch the game with dogs. And for a man or boy with a good tree dog, it's pretty good business. Clinton Foreman, a hunter from Coalgate who sells his catch to Briscoe, made twenty-one dollars in two hours last week, and had a high time in the woods w'hile making money. Foreman caught two mink on Buck Creek near Stonewall in the comparatively short period of two hours of hunting. "Trapping mink is pretty (Continued on Pogo Four) LOG RAISING: Tho above two young Indian boy* wore making the chip* fly with double-bitted axes one day this week near their home southeast of Ada.

Hokage Kuma (a.k.a. The Wall)
The tale of Hokage Kuma is not fraught with danger, beautiful maidens or monstrous dragons, but it is actually rather... simple. You see, in middle school, I was always the sort of big brother figure in a group made up of, predominantly, girls. This coupled with my long shaggy hair (which looks almost exactly like Jimmy Page's in my profile picture) earned me the nickname "Brother Bear".
One fine day, my friends decided they wanted to find Japanese alter-ego names for themselves. Well, after looking it up, I discovered the Japanese word for "bear" was "kuma", and so, Kuma I became. Hokage is (and please correct me if I'm wrong, haven't verified in a long while) Japanese for "shadow" or something like that, although it could be fire or lightning, given my amazing memory. And so, Hokage Kuma my name became.
"The Wall", as many of you know, is the psychadelic trip film by Pink Floyd. My real last name (le gasp!) is Wall, and the rest is histoire.

A sad time
Bonnie Cumberland, a woman who has influenced many of us whom attended Brainerd High School over the years, has left us. Though I never had her as a teacher, we still spent an accumulation of hours talking during my school years, and as political adversaries later in life. You might say, she improved my debate skills.
A kinder person would be hard to find than our Bonnie was. She was always true to her beliefs, and that is something I respect. She was very dedicated in her teaching life as well as in her service to the people. She truly put her all into what she did and enjoyed doing it. Her soft demeanor and smile are something I will miss. I morn your loss Bonnie, you left us way too young.
Bonnie's last endeavor was that of council president for Brainerd. It is a sad duty that the members of the council have, to fill her post. But it must be done. And the voters picked Bonnie, and someone with the same vision Bonnie had should be selected. Only one person comes to mind to see to the work that Bonnie is unable to finish, Mrs. Anne Nelson Fisher.

I'll admit it, I was a loner. But I never saw anything wrong with it, its just how I was. I wasn't a girl so I was chased away if I ventured too near to the games that went on round the hopscotch and I definatley wasn't one of the good looking, cool boys who always played on the football pitch. Nope, I was just a lanky, scrawny 10 year old in primary school. One place which I found I could venture near was the dusty faded clock. There was no real use for it as far as I could tell. But lately I had been seeing Ellie and a friend of hers play on it. All they did was spin each other round and fall. Sighing I had simply moved round the edge of the playground looking over to see what Ellie was doing now but she had gone. I smiled to myself, Ellie-May? Nah, never in a million years.
From what I heard in the lunch hall all her game consisted of was simply having a partner, spinning round, letting go and seeing where each of you landed. It all sounded rather dull but the stories I overheard seemed much more exciting. I'd heard everything from watching the romans to riding a horse in the countryside of a big house. When I saw that Ellie and her friend had left I walked over to the clock... nothing that extraordinary about it. Big part of it went from 1-12 then just inside that 13-24. Maybe I should ask Ellie if I could play during tomorrow's lunch. Or at least hear her tell some more weird and wonderful stories.

Point spreading is investigated using general radiative transfer theory. We find that the single scattering anisotropy plays a significant role for point spreading together with the medium mean free path, single scattering albedo and thickness. When forward scattering dominates, the light will on average undergo more scattering events to give a specific optical response in reflectance measurements. This will significantly increase point spreading if the medium is low absorbing with large mean free path. Any fundamental and generic model of point spreading must capture the dependence on all of these medium characteristics.

HO HO HO Merry Murder!
There's nothing quite like a department store before Christmas. A crisp feeling of excitement flows through the air as hundreds of busy shoppers hustle from display to display in search of the perfect gift. The melody of "Jingle Bells" and "I'll be Home for Christmas" play over the loud speaker and harmonize with the sounds of holiday conversation and unhappy children to create the sounds of the season. All are abuzz with holiday cheer and excitement.
At the center of it all is the one and only man of the hour... big ole Mr. Cringle himself: Santa Clause. Seated smack dab in the middle of the store he sits greeting children one by one and asking the age old question "what would you like for Christmas?" The line typically wraps around Santa's village and into the perfume department some 30 people deep, but they wait. All of this just to catch a glimpse of the man in red... and maybe snap a picture or two.
All are abuzz with holiday cheer and excitement... all that is except me. My name is John Gallagher, detective John Gallagher with the NYPD, and I was cheerful and excited. Honest I was; I left the department on Friday for a week's vacation with the wife and kids looking forward to these last few days before Christmas. Since Christmas falls on a Thursday this year I thought I would take the whole week off leading up to and the day after. Spend some time with the kids; help the wife with pre-holiday chores around the house. I was looking forward to it! Now however, one day into my vacation, I'm called in to work a case.
I drove up to O'Grady's department store, the main entrance, and parked behind the other 4 or 5 police cruisers already on the scene. The place was a mad house, panicked shoppers lined the sidewalk yammering to get in and finish their holiday shopping. I waved my badge at the uniform watching the door and went in. The store was eerily quiet. No kids playing in the toy department, no women trying new looks at the makeup counter and no line to see Santa Clause. I started up the isle towards the group of officers and officals hovering around Santa's village.
Santa's home in Ogrady's department store is called Santa's village and takes up a large amount of floor space in the center of the store. Large white and blue pillars formed a circle of arches around Santa's throne. Usually you could peer through from any angle and see the jolly red elf, but now all the archways had been covered with plastic. Something was amiss and I was starting to wish the family and I had chosen to do Christmas in Florida.
As I approached the scene George Halifax, our short and pudgy crime scene investigator, met me half way.
"Hey John... aren't you supposed to be on vacation?" he said peering through his thick prescription specs.
"Yes I am and I expect to be BACK on vacation very shortly! What's goin on here?"
"It's quite something really; I imagine we are going to be getting some press coverage on this one."
I put on some latex gloves and followed George as he pulled back the plastic and entered the scene. I've been a New York City homicide detective for 12 years and in that time I have seen a lot of things. I would rather not go into detail here, but let's just agree that I've seen a lot. A whopping 12 years on the force and it still wasn't enough to prepare me for the scene in Santa's village.
I followed George to a body covered with a plastic sheet just in front of Santa's throne. We both knelt down and George pulled back the sheet. It was at that moment that I knew my Christmas vacation was over. I had been pulled in to investigate the murder of Santa Clause.

And yet it just stared. Its eyes searching for something. As I looked into it, it looked into me. It judged me as I was judging it. It was learning about me as I learnt about it. I could feel it seeping into me, looking, searching for something. Finally it stood up, now towering over me a full two metres. It opened its fang filled maw. And spoke.
"I am yours to command" I was shocked, but did not let it show. "ask, and I will answer".
I contemplated what to ask it. I had so many questions. So many things I wanted to know. Yet only one question escaped my lips.
"who are you?" this time it was the one who was shocked. It looked at me. It knew what I asked.
"I am your destiny. i am your future. I am your saviour. I am your death" shocked whispers echoed around us. Yet still we just stared at each other. Man and monster. Yet, who was the man, and who the monster.

Alagesh alias Alagaiah, the victim, an employee of the BEML tools department, was a heart patient and underwent bypass surgery four months ago. He complained of severe chest pain after being assaulted by the two youths and was rushed to Mediscope hospital. He died in the hospital.
The accused, Karunakaran and Deepakraj, have been arrested by the police. According to reports, the accused are in their early 20s and school drop outs.
The victim's niece had gone to a near by grocery store to buy some provisions. After buying the essentials, the store keeper had to return back 50 paise to the girl, which he did not have. The girl was, however, stern that she be given the change. The grocer in turn bawled out at her. The accused who were sitting in front of the shop smoking teased the girl by asking if she would build a house with the 50 paise.
The girl returned home and narrated the whole incident to her mother. At 8.30 pm, when the youth were passing through the girl's house, the girl pointed the eve-teasers to her mother. Her mother questioned the duo over the issue to which they replied, "Yes. We did. So what?"
On hearing the noise, Alagesh, who stayed next door, came out and intervened in the matter.
"Deepu held Alagesh, while Karuna punched him and pushed him on to the ground," the victim's mother said.
The girl alleged that the accused were habitual eve-teasers.
"They always stand near the shop and tease girls and women," she said.

Rajkumar Santoshi's Andaz Apna Apna (1994) may not have been a hit in its time, but is today considered as one of the cult classics of Bollywood.
Salman and Aamir Khan starred in the original where they were paired opposite Karisma and Raveena Tandon. Cashing on the film's status, director Rajkumar Santoshi has decided to make a sequel to his film, as told to sources.
Both Raveena and Karisma are being retained for the sequel but sources further inform that Rajkumar Santoshi is still in talks with Aamir and Salman and is trying to bring them on board for the film. The sequel will see the story move ahead with the same characters (Amar and Prem) who take on new adventures.
Rajkumar will allegedly hand over the scripts to both Aamir and Salman once it's ready and will leave the decision up to them.
If all goes well, will the Andaz Apna Apna sequel be a hit at the box office this time around?

In 2012, Canadian consumers faced only modest food price increases; in fact, fruit and vegetable prices decreased by more than 8 per cent. Unfortunately, 2013 will be a different story.
Several forecasts predict that food prices will go up anywhere from 1.5 per cent to 3.5 per cent, likely exceeding our national inflation rate. In other words, consumers will have to rethink how they'll be spending their hard-earned discretionary income.
Indeed, meat and poultry lovers will be hit especially hard, as meat prices are likely to increase by more than 4.5 per cent. With this rise in food prices, spending in other sectors is bound to decrease – a family may need to pass on that trip to Cancun or that new oversized television set.
While Mother Nature is always partially to blame for food price hikes, the "new normal" in the agriculture business is fluctuating food prices influenced by knee-jerk schemes perpetuated by an array of stakeholders in the industry.
The 2012 North American drought had a relatively strong impact on food production and, in turn, will affect food prices in 2013. This drought, the biggest of its kind in recent history, saw commodity prices increasing at a rate well above normal expectation. This was especially the case for corn and soybean crops in the Midwest, the area hit hardest by the drought.
Anticipating input costs to rise, many cattle producers liquidated their herds to hedge against higher feed prices. With less supply on the market, Canadians are likely pay more for their steak by the time we reach BBQ season next spring.
With grains, the situation is not optimistic, either. Primarily due to the lack of buffer inventory in many countries to mitigate against unpredictable climate patterns, 2013 will see climate change's bigger effect on food prices. Without extra grain inventory, droughts, floods or other weather shocks will make markets more volatile and, in turn, affect the wallets of Canadians.
With that said, Canadians will get some welcome relief from an increasingly competitive food distribution landscape. Major players in food retailing have been adjusting to Wal-Mart's aggressive strategy in the Canadian market. The U.S.-based giant has opened many supercentres in recent months, and large Canadian retailers have felt the pain. With Target's imminent arrival, there may be more consolidation in the food retailing industry, and it wouldn't be surprising if we lose a major food retailer in the next year or two. In the near term, however, food prices at the local grocery store will be lower for Canadian shoppers.
The strong Canadian dollar will also help Canadians looking for deals in grocery stores. Canada is a large importer of foods from the U.S., so with American food imports exceeding $20-billion a year, every cent gained by the loonie against the greenback has a significant impact on our buying power. When we factor in the state of the U.S. economy and the relative stability of our own economy, the value of the loonie can only go up.
Despite these positive signs, we could see a record number of people going to food banks in 2013. As mentioned, meat and poultry will cost more for the average family and, as a result, consumers will seek more affordable sources of food.
But there's something that consumers can do at home right now to help extend their food budgets: become better food-waste managers. Even though we expect more Canadians to visit food banks, we may see even more wasted food than ever in 2013. Indeed, studies have shown that Canadian households waste 38 per cent of their food purchased in store and restaurants.
While it's almost certain that shopping habits will change as a result of food price increases, there's hope that there'll be a greater awareness of wasted food in Canadian homes and that these households will be more proactive about their food-waste habits. By adopting better shopping practices and using leftovers in creative ways, consumers could save more than 10 per cent in food costs – more than enough to offset anticipated food price increases over the next two to three years.
If you're thinking of ideas for New Year's resolutions, becoming a better domestic food-waste manager might be worth putting atop your list.

Herkimer man charged with selling heroin
Posted in the Herkimer Forum
1 - 16 of 16 Comments Last updated Jul 16, 2013
#1 Feb 21, 2013
A Herkimer man faces felony charges after an investigation into an increase in heroin sales in the village, Herkimer police said.
Benjamin Janes, 27, is charged with felony third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, police said.
Janes was arraigned in Herkimer Village Court and sent to Herkimer County jail in lieu of $5,000 cash bail or $10,000 bond, police said.
The Herkimer County District Attorney's Office assisted in the investigation and more arrests are pending, police said. Get these nikkers out now...
#2 Feb 21, 2013
except that he is white, genius.
#3 Feb 21, 2013
no he is black like michael jackson , he has vitiligo see i am a genius, upurs dale

looks pretty white to me, eh?
#6 Feb 21, 2013

POT is harmless HEROIN kills people and passes disease. i care that scum like him are selling heroin to people. he is helping others ruin their lives. helping spread diseases. and do u know where heroin originates from? heroin passes thru the hands of the alkida. each time someone buys heroin they are funding terrorism! him selling it is funding terrorism which has been destroying our nation. destroying peoples lives destroying families. does pot do that? no. u smoking pot has nothin to do with this.
#15 Feb 26, 2013
They need to put that Ben kid away he sells heroin out of his house and gives away dirty needles. Bad news for our town!
#16 Mar 30, 2013
This is true that Janes was arraigned in Herkimer Village Court and sent to Herkimer County jail in lieu of $5,000 cash bail or $10,000 bond, police said? http://www.nonfaithbased-drugrehab.org/our-st...
#17 Mar 30, 2013
his bail was more like $50K not $5k. If the troll who copied and pasted the original story bothered to actually link to it instead of plagiarizing, you'd know that. But again, that scumbag posting with the Syracuse IP is a piece of shit.
#18 Mar 31, 2013
LOL... According to the WKTV website? his bail IS 5K Cash or 10K bond... NOT 50K as you seem to think! LOL
#19 Mar 31, 2013
Not for Ben Janes. His bail was set at $25K cash or $50K bond.
The arrest of another guy a few days later was less, around $5k.
#20 Mar 31, 2013
sorry i got it backwards. Janes was the second arrest and had the lower bail. It was the first guy who was arrested a couple weeks earlier with the very high bail. He got busted with a lot more dope.
Micah J. Battalio, 22, of the residence has now been charged with third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, and second-degree criminally using drug paraphernalia.
Battalio was arraigned and committed to Herkimer County Correctional Facility in lieu of $25,000 cash bail or $50,000 bond.
The Herkimer Police were assisted by the Herkimer County District Attorney's Office in the investigation and say additional arrests are pending.
I suspect Janes' arrest was a result of that first arrest. The dominoes start to fall.
#21 Mar 31, 2013
#23 Jul 16, 2013
I don't care if he is black,white or any other color. He is selling heroin and that is dangerous, yes, it does support terrorism, and yes, it does ruin families. If the police start cleaning up the supply, then hopefully the demand will lessen. Then with any drug money confiscated, we build non traditional rehab centers in every city and instead of jail time, the user gets a chance in a 90 day rehab to stay out of jail and get clean. http://www.biophysical-drugrehabs.org/non12st...
#24 Jul 16, 2013
if you totaled up the losses to the economy from heroin versus pot smoking your figures would prove to be VERY INACCURATE, Pot is the social media that alcohol was 30 years ago. MORE scwewed up POT HEAD people than heroin users doesnt sound like progress to me.heroin might kill you quicker but the death from POT is LONGER lasting, potheads think its a clean high, look at willie nelson..thats your future at best, (dont forget the part of your body that will lose its libido at about the age of 45..)bill clinton anyone..HOGGER TIME

Phoebe smiled. It seemed he thought he was a wuss. She laughed, a short giggle. "You know. Angels are meant to be passive, they don't like to fight, or to watch fighting. You are Pure blooded for a reason." She tilted her head slightly, edging forward in her seat so she could see him better. "Being an Angel is a good thing. Okay, so you're dead. But you are the best kind of undead." She wasn't good at being reassuring, but she hoped it had worked.
Obviously he was new, she could almost feel the cling of death still on him. He was unsure and lost, then it clicked. So that was why he kept flicking glances towards Auvrea. He had no idea what to do as an angel. Bless him.
Ha, Bless an angel.. where ever did that come from?

What may be one of the biggest LA mysteries is how to get as close as possible to the iconic Hollywood Sign. Originally created in 1923, the then "Hollywoodland" sign was supposed to be up for only a year and a half, yet here it is over 90 years later.
Here's Time Out LA's insider tip on how to get to an ideal vantage point of the massive sign perched above the Hollywood Hills: Start at Franklin Ave and N Beachwood Dr. Take N Beachwood Dr up the mountain toward Hollywoodland's quaint Beachwood village. Make a left on Ledgewood Dr and continue until Deronda Dr. The streets get pretty narrow so make sure you drive extra slow and are not taking massive truckloads of people with you. Cars (mainly the ones who don't know exactly where they are going) are known to create traffic jams up the winding streets in this residential neighborhood where tourists, for the most part, are unwanted. At the end of Deronda Dr you will reach a dead-end surrounded by a few homes. Park your car where it's safe and walk through the small opening on the right to get to a perfect vantage point of the iconic sign. Looking to get even closer? Lace up for a trek along the dirt road on Mt Lee Dr to where you will be standing directly above the Hollywood Sign and can experience a total 360-degree view of the cityscape.

The Hollywood Sign is to LA what The Statue of Liberty is to New York. An invitation to people around the world to come here and give it a go at making their dreams a reality. This American icon stands tall above the city, but has a habit of peaking at you between buildings or surprising you by peering over your shoulder at unexpected times. I do wish that they would light the sign up at night so it can shine over the city that it created in all its glory!
You've seen it in movies and dream of living in the land it represents but really it's just a sign. The one cool thing about the Hollywood Sign is that you can hike up to it or go on horseback, which makes for a fun afternoon!
Very helpful information. I plan to visit this summer!

The UK's least respected newspaper is pulling out all the stops when it comes to the now-notorious Adam Johnson child sex case.
Yesterday, the former Sunderland and England winger was convicted of sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl, and while every other publication took the standard approach this morning, The Sun decided to be the controversial, edgy bastards that they are.
Enter their front page, which is currently gracing news stands across the country…
Alongside a photo of the disgraced ex-footballer in his questionable swimwear (sorry, I'm a shorts man), if you look closely, aligned to the left, you can just about make out the simple four-word sentence of 'PAEDO IN HIS SPEEDOS'. Wow.
The chosen photo is reportedly a nine-year-old snap of Johnson doing a fitness test in his underwear, and if you hadn't already guessed, the Twittersphere is up in arms.
I won't sully anyone's timeline with it but tomorrow's Sun #AdamJohnson front page so utterly wretched you'll want to wash if you touch it.
— Julian Shea (@juliansheasport) March 2, 2016
Yes, the sun have used a 9 year old picture of Adam Johnson in speedos for their utterly irrelevant headline. 9, not 7. Trash.
— Angus Burns (@awburns1) March 3, 2016
Did the sun just go 'right speedo rhymes with paedo I want everyone on the case searching for a pic of Adam Johnson in speedos' ingenious🙄
— lozza b (@laurenoldacc) March 3, 2016
The Sun have been in their archives for that Adam Johnson photo. Ridiculous reporting.
— Danny Nicoll (@dannynicoll) March 3, 2016
But if you thought the shots being fired stopped at the front page, you're very wrong. Their 5-page special report features pages like the following.
Incredible reporting as always. Rupert Murdoch would be proud!
What do you think of their coverage? Did they go too far, or is it justified given the circumstances? Let us know.

Making plans
The little train rattled along the tracks, bumping and listing as we breezed behind rickety houses and shops. So far, aside from the occasional hillside covered in sheep, nothing looked very different from home.
Patti leaned forward. "So, Finn, you do this to raise money for school?"
Pete was sitting between Finn and me, and he turned away from me to listen. I drowsily watched a spider cling for life to the outside of the window.
"I do," Finn replied affably. "It helps pay my tuition, and it's certainly more enjoyable than working in the shops."
"Good for you! I have to admit, I was half-sure we'd end up picking up armloads of brochures at the airport and finding our own way around."
Finn chuckled. "Oh, dear. Why?"
"It isn't personal," she explained with a smile. "You seemed very sweet when we spoke. It was just something about finding a guide in an online ad..."
Tim agreed. "We weren't sure, I'll be honest with you, but the tour descriptions sounded fantastic. And when you didn't ask for payment ahead of time, we figured we'd just take our chances."
"Well, I'm pleased you did. You'll see. Traveling with a native is the only way to do it properly." Although his voice was very friendly, it was also low and even. Rhythmic, like the train. I yawned.
"We're all looking forward to seeing what you've got planned," Patti said warmly. "The itinerary you sent last week looks wonderful. There are a lot of things on there I've never even heard of!"
"Yes." A hint of mischief. "I'm going to show you the Ireland that tourists never see."
Tim gave an exuberant nod of approval. "I can't remember what day you had it scheduled for, but Allison's birthday is next Wednesday, and I know she's been looking forward to seeing the Blarney Stone."
Up until now, I had let the conversation wash over me, but the silence that followed brought my attention back in full. After a conspicuous pause, Finn said, "Excellent. Whatever you like, Allison. Your birthday should be special." Allison, who was sitting across from me, smiled at him. And that was that.
Or so I thought. "What were we going to do?" asked Pete.
Patti reached for her bag. "Good question, Pete." She pulled out a little folder and opened it up. "The 27th. 'Galway Bay.' What's at Galway Bay?"
"They've got some nice little villages and old stills," said Finn. "I've a cousin there with a fishing boat and he was going to take us all out for the day. It's a nice way to travel from town to town. I thought we might stop for lunch at—"
"Is that a Starbucks?!" I howled.
Pete looked out the window and laughed. "We might as well have stayed in Columbus!" Allison and I laughed with him.
Patti looked dismayed, either with me or Pete or Starbucks. "Is that something we can do another day?"
"Starbucks?" Finn's voice gained a surprised octave. "I suppose so. We'll be back near Dublin toward the end of your visit, so..."
"No, no! Galway Bay. Does it have to be Wednesday?"
"Oh, of course not. I'll call my cousin and work it out. Whatever you prefer. Only it might change our itinerary around a bit, so I'll need to get back to you with a new one if that's all right."
"Actually," Allison piped up, "the boat thing sounds nice."
"Are you sure, honey?" Tim asked. "It's not a big deal."
"Yeah." She looked at Finn and smiled. "I'd rather go to Galway Bay."
And that was that.

You're My Blue Sky, You're My Sunny Day
Not a cloud in the sky and not a worry in my head. Yesterday was THE perfect day on the mountain. The high was 53 but it was the perfect temperature in the sun. Chris and I sat out at Myrtle Point for the afternoon. My internal battery is completely recharged. These are the days that represent September on the mountain. We watched the peregrine soar below us. With a few flaps of his wings, he was over Newfound Gap in no time. It is a bit cooler this morning. The low last night was 29. Time to pull out the down jacket.

My career began as a cub reporter out in East Anglia – it's an out there sort of a place as Truman Capote might have put it – reporting on sea angling and women's bowls. I travelled with the bowls team and once won the raffle on the way home after a stirring victory over Bedfordshire. The prize was a bottle of non-alcoholic sweet white wine. Ah, the sweet taste of success, as Alan Partridge might have put it.
Occasionally, as a treat, I was sent to watch Norwich City in the days when they sported the worst strip in Premier League history, an Andy Warhol does cheese and celery design. It is a fine club, one of those impossible not to have a soft spot for, and it fits into a theory suggested by a former colleague. If you gather four football fans together they will be able to gallop through the entire four divisions of English league football and between them advance a reason to like or dislike strongly every single club. Try it – he swears by it, and swears a lot during it.
Most of the reasons will seem trivial but that is another thing about football supporters; ever ready to take lasting offence at the trivial, any minimal offence to your club, and if it leads to a bit of anger all the better – and if it leads to a bit of righteous anger all the better still: witness Chelsea's fans rising up in high dudgeon to collect donations to pay the very wealthy Jose Mourinho's £8,000 pocket-money fine for objecting to Chris Foy's officiating.
This week I criticised Norwich's decision to dismiss Chris Hughton. It smacks of panic. It was a suggestion huffily rejected by a number of Norwich supporters, accompanied by the accusation of being a "serial bandwagon jumper". This weekend, which hosts Norwich's key game with Fulham, will prove me wrong, I've been told.
They are probably right, because when I jump on a bandwagon it tends to grind to a halt. Last summer I followed up Andy Murray's win at Wimbledon by writing that we were enjoying a golden age of British sport. I did suggest we should enjoy it while we could and since then we have lost the Ashes, Murray's barely won a match, English clubs have been whipped in Europe, with the doughty exception of Chelsea, and even British Cycling's looking a bit ropey. And, to tell the truth, it is all much more fun to watch.
This winter's Ashes was compelling for what happened on the field, what happened off it and what is still going on now. England's failure has given new life to the county game. Suddenly everyone believes they have a chance, even the admirably chipper Kevin Pietersen, the England and Wales Cricket Board's bogeyman. When England are winning it is a closed shop; when it goes this badly wrong then the doors are flung open. The Sunday morning squad announcement before a Test becomes a moment of interest, although we are not yet back to the unforgettable level of 1988 when England had four captains in five Tests against West Indies. For the fourth Test Peter May, the chairman of selectors, picked his godson Chris Cowdrey to lead the side. I'm not sure if James Whitaker, the current chairman, has a godson playing first-class cricket.
Watching teams lose, eras draw to a painful close and everything go tits up is gripping, and as a nation there are times when we seem more comfortable with it. Winning lots of gold at London 2012 went down well but probably deserves an asterisk in the history of British sport. It was a happy one-off. Since then UK Sport has had no end of flak for continuing its "no compromise" approach to funding potential medal winners at the cost of helping those of lesser abilities just to take part. A similar about-face happened in Australia after their success in Sydney 2000 and culminated in their disastrous showing at London 2012.
The cyclical nature of sport helps keep us watching and entertained. It is reassuring that what goes up does come down. There is so much to take in when slowing down to rubberneck a sporting car crash: Jean van de Velde in the Open; England at the last World Cup; or England's cricketers throughout this winter. There are two possibles this afternoon alone – any loser from Norwich against Fulham or even more so an Arsenal defeat at Wembley.
This may be a time of year when days lengthen and the weather brightens but it is also the angriest time of year for the football fan. Spring gives birth to the reality that the season is going to be a failure. Manchester United fans had it confirmed on Wednesday, even Barcelona's have some pretty hard realities to face. Eras are ending quicker than you can say Dave Brailsford was fond of a marginal gain or Arsène Wenger daren't go another season without a trophy and it is captivating.Reuse content

Joseph Campbell Quotes About WaitingQuotes about: Waiting
If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.
Following your bliss is not self-indulgent, but vital; your whole physical system knows that this is the way to be alive in this world and the way to give to the world the very best that you have to offer. There IS a track just waiting for each of us and once on it, doors will open that were not open before and would not open for anyone else.
Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths. We must be willing to get rid of the life we planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. I have bought this wonderful machine — a computer ... it seems to me to be an Old Testament god, with a lot of rules and no mercy.

The Work of Kathleen Schlesinger and Elsie Hamilton
Kathleen Schlesinger was a musicologist, the author of "The Greek Aulos" (Methuen 1939) now out of print, where she analyses the tuning systems used in Greece and other ancient and indigenous cultures to deduce a system known as the Harmoniai. This method of tuning was used by her friend, the composer Elsie Hamilton in her music. Here we present reprints of some rare articles by Schlesinger and Hamilton.

High Hat Install On Old Circuit
Hello everyone, I just joined the forum as I'm looking for some advice on a project that I am planning. I am going to be installing high hats in my bedroom, first time I'm ever trying this, so I'm trying to map things out to make sure I don't burn the house down.
Below is a link to a couple of diagrams I've put together. The first shows the existing connection and the second how I plan to hook things up. I've traced the circuit going into the bedroom from the attic and the first picture is what I came up with. As you'll see there is currently a switch that control a wall outlet and then electricity goes from there to two more outlets in the room.
I'd like to use that switch to control the new high hats. I am planning to also make the outlet which the switch currently controls hot all the time.
Can you please take a look at the diagrams, especially the second one and let me know if I'm heading in the right direction. The dotted lines represent the new connections into the circuit/switch for the high hats. The picture also shows the rewired outlet so that it is on constantly.
My house was built in 1969 so if you have any tips or pointers related to anything I should be looking out for that would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance for your help.
1 Attachment(s)
First of all, what does the entire breaker feed?
Do you have aluminum wire?
I have attached this pic, I don't have time right now to type.
Dont reuse wire nuts.
Looks real good. My only concern would be the three cables in a most likely very small wall switch box. Replacing a box in a finished wall can be challenging for a DIYer. DO you think you would want to attempt it?
I see rgsgww's point about wiring the lights "serially". Your diagram is right, but the word "serially" is wrong.
You will be wiring them in parallel.
As speedy was saying, box fill might be a concern with all of these cables. Replacing a box is tricky to do in finished walls.
rgsgww thank you for the prompt response
Thanks for the tip on the wire nut and everything else.
An easy way is to turn the breaker off and see what doesn't have power.
I could never trace anything in my attic with 2 ft of insulation. I lost my needle nose up there fishing wire. They weren't kliens or any nice brand thank lord.
I'm certainly going to attempt it but not looking forward to it :)
I would only add that in your existing diagram you do show the high hats wired in series. Just pointing that out.
Second double check the switched receptacle to make sure that they did not only switch half of the outlet on the red wire and brought constant hot into the other half. If they did you will need to replace that receptacle as the tab will be broken between the hot terminals (brass colored).
You could use the existing red wire to make the switched receptacle hot all the time, just join it to the in/out black wires at the switch. And if you need to move the switch, consider leaving the existing box and wiring, and running a **/2 cable from there to the new location, then just cover the old box with a blank face cover.
Thank you.
Thank you all for all the very helpful feedback. I've gone back and traced the other side of the circuit and :eek: holy shizzle! It seems that the people before me just kept tapping into this circuit like it was a direct line from the utility company.
I've found another circuit in and adjacent room, which I have access to from the attic, with a lot less that looks like the way to go. I went with the advice above to turn everything on, plus used a tester in the outlets, and then switched the circuit breaker off to see what was on there.
The next project after this is to go back and clean-up the mess on the previous circuit I was planning to use.
Thanks again, much appreciated.
A bad but possibly good find in my case
So I went back up in the attic to trace my new target circuit to tap into. I started tracing the lines to the adjacent bedroom and in the process traced another line that was going to the room before that. I traced the cable to the drop from the attic into the wall, which I thought was feeding a switch right by the doorway. I tugged on the drop very slightly and there was no resistance on it at all. I pulled a little harder and next thing I know about 5 feet of bx cable came up with the cables at the end cut evenly and still wrapped in paper. When I put the tester on it, it started beeping. I hooked up the volt meter to it and it showed almost 123 volts.
I found the breaker that controls the line and have done the on/off test to see what else goes out and can't seem to find anything else connected to it. One side of me is happy that I found what appears to be a virgin circuit coming from the main box but the other side is suspicious as to why this is so.
Is this simply a case of somebody screwing up during the construction or could it be the case that there was a problem with that circuit and it was abandoned at a later point since the house was built? Is there anything I can do to test this further to make sure there are no potential hazards with using this circuit?
Scary! I found almost the same thing.
I can almost assure you that is GE brand bx.
Shut the circuit off and trace the dead line. This is the only way to assure that there will be no hazards. I think somebody might have done some remodeling...leaving the bx there.
It looks like your tic tester is checking a white wire. And you retested using a digital voltmeter. Without going into great detail it may not really be a live wire. I would be interested to see if it tests live using a light tester or wiggy solenoid type... these put actual loads on the circuit.

50 ml (1.69 fl oz) tubeBlue Black appears in the catalogs of artists' colormen circulated in the nineteenth century. Some references describe it as charcoal black, which may have been derived from charred vine cuttings or wood charcoal. It is often listed as a mixture of 40 parts bone black and three parts Prussian blue, which is the composition of Rublev Colours Blue Black.Note: Colors swatches are shown in mass tone, straight from the tube, on the left, and mixed with an equal amount of white on the right. All pictures of color swatches in this web site are only approximations of the actual color of the oil paint. We have taken every care to match the color in these pictures on calibrated color monitors to the actual color. However, because of the wide variance in color monitors the results you get may vary.
Note: Some separation of pigment and oil may occur in Rublev Colours Artists' Oils and is a natural process when no wax or stabilizers are added to paint to prevent this from occurring.
Natural Pigments is a limited liability company based in Willits, California. We manufacture and distribute rare and hard-to-find materials for fine artists and decorators. We specialize in supplying artists' materials that were used in historical painting since pre-historic times up to and including the nineteenth century.
We constantly search for materials and products of the finest quality so that we can bring them direct to you from the source. To do so, we travel the world to find materials specifically for use by professional artists and decorators. We obtain minerals from mines in Afghanistan, Chile, Russia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan, to name a few places, processing these into natural pigments. We purchase resins, gums and plants from India, Kenya and Malaysia to make natural varnishes and painting mediums.
Our mission is to provide the largest variety of natural pigments, paints and other professional artists' supplies, enabling us to bring you a selection that makes shopping for rare and hard-to-find art materials easy. Our objective is to promote the education and use of these materials among artists by providing detailed information for their employment in encaustic, fresco, oil, watercolor and tempera painting.

Thai cosmetics company pulls ad showing actress in blackface
Jocelyn Gecker
The Jakarta Post
A Thai cosmetics company quickly pulled a video in which an actress wears blackface and promotes a skin-whitener with the slogan: "You just need to be white to win."
The retraction did little, however, to stem a debate the ad ignited about the regularity of racist advertisements in the Southeast Asian country.
The online ad for the new product called "Snowz" featured porcelain-skinned Thai movie star Cris Horwang talking about being an aging actress in a competitive industry.
"If I stopped looking after myself, everything that I have worked for ' all the investment I have made to keep myself white ' would disappear," says the 35-year-old actress. "New stars would replace me, I would fade away."
As she speaks, a smiling, younger woman enters the picture and Cris' own image darkens to charcoal black.
A male voice says, "You just need to be white to win."
A tirade of criticism erupted after the video was launched online Thursday. Online commentators labeled the ad as racist and ignorant, while some heaped criticism on the actress for accepting the job. Others called it a strategic way to attract wide attention and boost sales.
"Ewwwwwww," was the reaction of 28-year-old Jutamas Tritaruyanon, one of many to post their disapproval on Facebook.
"This ad is so obviously racist and another attempt to brainwash Thai women," Jutamas, a Bangkok-based office worker, told AP. "They're saying that being dark is ugly. It's a narrow-minded and disgusting attitude."
The Thai cosmetics company Seoul Secret issued a "heartfelt apology" in a statement Friday saying it had pulled the video clip and related advertisements.
"Our company did not have any intention to convey discriminatory or racist messages," the statement posted on its Facebook page said. "What we intended to convey was that self-improvement in terms of personality, appearance, skills and professionalism is crucial."
The ad is hardly the first to use racial stereotypes in Thailand, where beauty is often characterized as fair and delicate. Darker skin is often associated with rural lower-class Thais, and the country has an enormous industry in skin-whitening products and cosmetic clinics to help customers emulate the porcelain complexions of the Bangkok elite.
TV commercials for skin-whitening products regularly promote the idea that white is beautiful.
In 2013, the Dunkin' Donuts franchise in Thailand used a female model in blackface makeup to promote a chocolate doughnut. The company's CEO in Thailand initially dismissed complaints about racism, but the US parent company quickly apologized and pulled the ad.
An herbal Thai toothpaste says its dark-colored product "is black, but it's good." A longtime Thai brand of household mops and dustpans called "Black Man" uses a logo with a smiling black man in a tuxedo and bow tie.
Associated Press writers Nattasuda Anusonadisai and Jason Corben contributed to this report.

When Ray retires dont be surprised to see the Ravens pursue London Fletcher for a year, he is FA, cheap, good leader and can be of good use for depth and experience and very inexpensive. Leadership can never been underestimated and could be a good transitional, part time signing. Plus, he will want a ring and the Ravens can be a good fit. Ozzie type move. Losing Ed and Ray, you need a strong leader with experience.
Because of the cap situation in the event that Flacco gets tagged, the very use of the tender for Dickson could stop us from retaining Ellerbe or McKinnie for another year. I would much rather keep an emerging young talented LB on our squad, or keep McKinnie for another year than use that money on retaining a declining Ed Dickson. I would take a rookie and a vet minimum guy as the two back up TE's while keeping a decent LT for another year and a good LB any day over Dickson.
And this is something that cannot be understated.
Ray is great, but fast he ain't (anymore). See me rhymin' ? I know...I'm hood.
Jameel is a 2-down backer. Ellerbe has the speed to be a 3-down backer, but he's not very good in coverage and is much better as a blitzing ILB.
McClellan is a solid player, but he's more of a pass rusher/run stopper. He's never done much to impress me in space. I'd put Kruger in this boat as well, although if we keep Kruger and moved to a 4-3, I would play him EXCLUSIVELY at LE opposite of Suggs.
We could double dip at LB in this draft and really build out the depth and speed of our LB unit.
Listen man, this is Joe's team now. Ray Lewis even said as much right before the Denver game. This is his team now.
Joe, Ray, Pollard, Torrey...those are the leaders of the future with the Ravens.
Oh, yea, and Fletcher is still under contract with the Redskins until 2014...so he isn't available anyway unless the Skins cut him.
Wicked, if we move to a 4-3, I would rather get a quick twitch type DT to pair up with Ngata than double up on a LB. I would love to aquire a Geno Atkins type in the front 4, then you have the perfect combination of speed and brute strength in Ngata, Suggs, Upshaw, and a Sharriff Floyd. I wouldn't mind Hankins either, but would rather take a Kawann Short, Sheldon Richardson, or a Bennie Logan over Hankins if we're moving to a 4-3.
In saying that, you still probably double dip at LB, you take a DT in the first round, LB in the second, make some moves to get a safety, and take another LB in the fourth. There are a lot of mid round/late round prospects at LB this year, if you want pure SPEED, take a look at Kiko Alonso out of Oregon.

Bad news, commuters: you're smothering yourself in a daily, ageing face mask. It's attacking the moisturising proteins in your skin, will ultimately make you look a decade older than you are — and it's not something you can evade by avoiding the Tube or walking rather than driving. It's in the very (dirty) city air that you breathe.
That's according to new scientific research suggesting that urban pollution could age women's skin 10 per cent faster than those who live in the countryside. The findings, based on a study of 200 women aged 30 to 45 in Beijing and rural China, also show that poor air quality triggers more dermatological skin conditions and found a correlation between spikes in air pollution and a surge in the number of patients suffering from urticaria, or hives.
Londoners pointing out that Beijing is one of the most polluted places in the world won't get much of a reprieve: so is our capital. London is one of nine UK cities that breach the World Health Organisation's safe health levels of air quality. And while the Chinese research was funded by Procter & Gamble, which makes millions from its Olay brand's anti-ageing skincare products, scientists say it's not just cosmetics people talking up business. Separate German research in 2010, which compared the skin of women in urban and rural areas, found the former, who lived among higher pollution, had more evidence of hyperpigmentation, or age spots, than the countryside dwellers.
The industry's big concern with pollution focuses on particles. The pollutants in city air were previously thought to be too large to break through the skin's barrier but now scientists think tiny particles known as "PM 2.5" — which are so small that several thousand could fit on the full stop at the end of this sentence — can penetrate the skin. These tiny particles cause the frequent haze in city air, and now it's thought they also destroy keratin proteins that protect the skin from losing moisture and cause premature ageing.
"The high levels of London air pollution cause defects in the functioning of our external skin barrier, and that's what lies at the heart of the ageing process in the skin," says Dr Mervyn Patterson, cosmetic dermatologist at Woodford Medical. "The first step in dealing with this problem is repairing the skin barrier. It's like fixing the roof of the skin — a healthy roof keeps unwanted things such as pollutants, UV and irritants out. Second, we need to dampen the inflammation, with antioxidants and anti-inflammatories."
Even the rain is attacking our skin, according to Dr Adam Friedmann of the Harley Street Dermatology Clinic: "The acidity of the rain can cause irritation to the skin — London rain is dirtier than the rain outside the capital, so for Londoners experiencing the frequent downpours may contribute to unhealthy-looking skin.
"Irritants in [vehicle] fumes also cause worsening of dermatitis and other skin conditions such as eczema, while if you're breathing in a lot of carbon monoxide this can reduce the oxygen supply which in turn ages the skin, similar to the effects smoking has on the skin." Pollution also damages the collagen that helps skin to stay elastic and prevents wrinkles and ageing.
But apart from selling up and moving to the Lake District, is there anything we can do to prevent falling victim to city skin? The multi-billion-pound skincare industry is already homing in on pollution, with sonic-cleansing brushes and "free-radical-busting" potions; the fervour stems from Asia, where air quality is famously poor and lengthy skincare routines are the norm. Two of the beauty industry's most recent crazes, barrier BB and CC face creams, were first launched for the Far East market.
"To fight pollution you need to put up your own skin barriers," says Linda Meredith, Knightsbridge facialist to Kate Moss, Gwyneth Paltrow and Colin Firth. She says make-up foundation and high-factor suncream help — as does a layer of E45 cream — but cleansing is crucial. "Evening is the most important. Double cleanse with cream, then gel to be absolutely sure any pollution is removed and then regular facials to deep-clean the skin, or an enzyme peel at home to dissolve the dead surface layers where any pollution will be trapped."
Meredith believes human skin will eventually adapt to polluted city life — but not in our lifetimes. "Over the past 60 years, toxins, chemicals and hormones have built up in the air. Our bodies are trying to adapt to the barrage but it has all happened too quickly and led to skin problems and allergies.
"In the meantime, we need to look after our skin like never before. Clean it well and moisturise with water-based products, which absorb to the base of the surface layers. If your skin absorbs the creams, apply more. Although people think otherwise, water-based creams do not cause break-outs, they help build up the moisture reserves in the skin to prevent the absorption of pollutants."
And there's bad news for those with a lazy pre-bedtime routine: "Wipes will not do the job," Meredith says.
Thinking about where you walk in town can help too, according to Chelsea skincare expert Malvina Fraser, whose clients include Yasmin Le Bon and Kylie Minogue. "Avoid walking through smoking areas by office blocks," she says, "it will hit your skin as you pass, breaking down your anti-oxidant barrier. Use a light hydrating spray throughout the day — it makes skin less prone to flakiness and bacterial infection. And try to hold a scarf to your nose or even buy a mask."
That's already a craze for women in China and South Korea, where strolling the streets sporting surgical masks is the norm. It started as SARS-prevention but now many reckon it will help combat the exhausts and toxins of city air. Models even wore designer and Swarovski crystal-studded respiratory face masks as they strutted down the catwalk at China's fashion week this autumn.
But that could be a step too far, according to Frank Kelly, professor of environmental health at King's College London, and a member of the Government's committee on the medical effects of air pollution. "The possible impacts of pollutants (other than UV radiation and ozone) on skin have not been examined by [enough] investigators," he says. "I'm not aware of any appropriate studies that have been undertaken in a UK city. Advances in knowledge on the impact of urban pollution on organs such as the heart and lungs imply that there would be possible effects on the skin — but we are a long way from having sufficient evidence to indicate that people should be applying barrier creams."Reuse content
