Sailing in Friesland
Some like to spend time in the natural surroundings of the Wadden Sea and Lauwersmeer National Park. Others prefer to sail from one place to another in Friesland. The local tourist information office (VVV) can provide you with the best routes and package deals, whether you're into sailing, (kite-) surfing or wakeboarding.
Water Events
Friesland counts many events that are organized on and around the water. The skûtsjesilen championships is an annual event on the Frisian Lakes in which Frisian barges compete against each other. Sneekweek is another popular summer event and the largest inland water event in Europe. You must try Fierljeppen, which is Frisian for pole jumping (across a body of water). In short, water fanatics have the time of their life in Friesland.

i saw in this article that among the things stolen from Pat was a Bible. God works in mysterious ways. Maybe some good will come from all of this. He is always in charge.
#3 May 23, 2007
I dated one of these guys for a long time, several years ago. I know this man, and I know that his love for God is strong. He may have made a horrible decision, but there is definetly more to this story than what reports are letting people to believe....
#4 Jun 5, 2007
this guy had a strong love for god??? what a joke, if you dated this loser, you are no better than him. pat was my cousin and he was a good man. these two morons should burn in hell, or at least burn in the electric chair.
#5 Jun 10, 2007
I am Charles Aunt and I believe the system has let this young man down. He was incarcerated at the age of 17, during that incareration his mother pasted away of cancer. He never received any tools or rehibilitation while he was locked up. When he waw released he was a different person, an angry man, lost in the world with no one to turn to. The two weeks before the murder he had been arrested several times which violated his parole. So how did he get out of jail each time. He had no money. I know they let him out the last time without posting any bond because, according to Charlie, they didn't want to pay for the medical attention he needed for injuries he sustained in a fight. My point: Charlie wasn't a hardened criminal when he went into prison at 17. He was a criminal created by our system while he was in prison. Also, if our judicial system would have been at work, Charlie would not have been free to commit this awful crime. He was crying out for help by getting arrested several times prior to the murder, but they just kept releasing him, putting him back on the street until he committed the unthinkable.
Charlie and lionel are not the only ones responsible for Mr. Biddle's death.
#6 Jun 20, 2007
You know, it is very easy to sit in judgement of other people when faced with hurt and sadness, but the fact remains, you do not know any of us. You say that your cousin was a good man, and that the two "morons" are not, but I and others see a different perspective of the situation. Everyone has their own demons, some worse than others, but like I said, I know this man and I know that his faith is strong. Believe it or not, but like I said before, you do not know him or his situation. You can continue to pull the wool over your eyes and not see the whole story if you choose, but I will continue to respect your opinions and my heart felt sympothy goes out to you and your family, sincerely. But the fact remains, I will not turn my back on these boys-their family and loved ones are hurting too.
#7 Jul 8, 2007
I moved away a few years ago and don't know these boys, but i DID know Pat and I can assure you that whatever you think is the rest of the story is incorrect. I knew Mr Biddle on a professional basis and some of the rumors surrounding this were completely untrue. He may have had some issues to deal with but certainly none of which ever caused anyone any personal harm nor certainly none that gave reason to be murdered.
#8 Jul 11, 2007
The first thought that comes to mind about your defense of one of these alleged murderers is why you two broke up. I suspect that you are a person of faith. So I doubt his strong faith was the issue that broke you two apart. I suspect that there was something else. Perhaps it was because he was on some bad path in life and you did not want to be part of his (likely low) lifestyle. Perhaps it was because he had a significant mental issue to deal with, which was difficult to deal with. Perhaps these were issues that attracted him to the easy relief of God taking away all of these burdens. I will bet that if you look back on it, you will see that your own time with the alleged murderer will have at least one major clue that the man could eventually get in this much trouble.

I just found these posts. I have known Pat for 30 years, we were married and have a daughter together. i know him better than most people. i loved and still love him. He didn't deserve what was done to him. His life was STOLEN from him,and now all of the people left behind are trying to deal with it. I am having anxiety attacks, our daughter is not coping well, his son either. His parents and brother , sister, and all of his family are not only left with the grief, hurt, anger, and loss, but every time there is something in the newspaper or the news it is all opened up again. regardless if the system failed or not, these two CHOSE to break into pat's apt, tie him up, beat him, and strangle his life from him. it was THEIR choice! pat didn't get a choice. i am sorry for the families of these men, but just because someone has problems doesn't mean they shouldn't be accountable for what they did.

one of the killers,charles chorpenning,who is facing life without parole,is pleading that he is mentally retarded. well he was smart enough to rack up quite a few felonies before this. does anyone know how they decide in a court case if someone's retarded?
#11 Oct 1, 2007
Knowing him, I would say on some level, he is mentally retarded. Not in the way we see people with Down Syndrome or anything, but still a lower mental capacity none the less. He has been in boy school or jail/prison for most of his life. I believe that definetly has something to do with his massive list of charges. He is an institutionalized man that has never learned how to live life in a way that we would call "normal". He is a little boy trapped in a man's body. He has experienced trama after trama, with no outlet to deal with the issues, ever. I am not trying to justify his actions, but like I have said before, he has family, too, and they are all hurting the same as the Biddle's are. No one but those two boys knew what was going through their heads but them. Everyone envolved in this situation, no matter how little of a part they play in it, will pay for the actions of those involved. Pray that everyone involved finds peace in their own way.

For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trepasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
-Matthew 18:21-22
Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other, as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive.
-Colossians 3:12-13

you know what? i am SICK SICK SICK of hearing about the killers!! their rough lives, their probelms, their rights, balh, blah, blah!! What about mr. biddle's right to live? please just shut up about them, i am going to puke. quit trying to justify this!go sit in the courtroom and tell his family what a good loving boys they are. i bet if they killed a member of your family you'd be singing a different tune! do i need to spell it out for you? they STRANGLED and BEAT a man to death and deserve everything they get. period!!
#14 Oct 5, 2007
I would say that Charles Chorpenning isnt the brightest person, but I believe that he is not mentally retarded. He is claiming that to try to get out. If I have my way he will stay behind bars where he deserves to be. The car he stole that got him busted was mine and he will pay for that. I could have been the next Pat Biddle. The dumbass was stupid enough to keep the key to Pats car on him though. How stupid can you be. He probably would have "got away with murder" if the cops didnt find the key when they pulled him out of my car.
#15 Oct 5, 2007
It wasnt the system that let him down it was the family for not keeping a leash on him.

what a waste of space he is. lock him up for good.
#18 Dec 27, 2007
You are completely wrong. If someone, even this guy that I know, killed one of my family members, I would be sad and hurt, but I would accept it and have comfort in knowing that the Lord will take care of it. I am not God and it is not my place to sit here and pass judgement on anyone. Everyone dies, plain and simple. It would be nice if evereyone lived until they died of old age, but that is not reality. People die of diseases, care crashed, murders, drownings, fires, over doses and how many other ways. All of these are considered "untimely" deaths, but the fact remains, none the less, everyone dies. And I would love to sit in the court room, but I will not be telling his family what "good boys" they are because he really doesn't have any family; and the family that he does have, knows just how good his heart is, even if you can never see it. I do understand what happened to Mr. Biddle, as far as the beating and strangulation goes; but I also know quite more than that. I heard stories about Mr. Biddle when I dated Charlie five years ago; Pat Biddle is not a new name to me. If you do not want to hear about the "killers" anymore, than stop coming to this site. We are all hear to freely share our own opinions. You will not see me put down anyones opinion on here EVER. I might not agree with what someone has said, but I am not here to pass judgement on anyones opinions or feelings of hurt, betrayal, or whatever other feelings someone might be feeling. I have talked to Charlie on the phone and received many letters from him since this awful tragedy took place. We do not talk much about the incident, but when I think about him and the choices he made, and his new born baby that will never know her father, I am also thinking about Mr. Biddle's family and everyone else that is mourning the loss of him. Everyone loses here, the victim and his family and loved ones and the two men and their family and loved ones. I fully understand that we will never see eye to eye on this, and I accept that, but I will still be stopping by this site from time to time to see what everyone has to say. Charlie knows that now he has to face God and that is way worse than anything the judicial system can do to him. There was a reason that they took the Bible. My heart still goes out to all of those that are sstill mourning the loss of Mr. Biddle, sincerely. You are all in my thoughts and prayers often and will continue to be every time Charles Willaim Chorpenning crosses my mind.
#19 Dec 27, 2007
I am truly sorry that Charlie stole your car, sincerely, but there is no way that you "could have been the next Pat Biddle." There is more to the story than the newspapers tell bystanders. Mr. Biddle was BY FAR a random target. They went to HIS house for a reason. That does not justify what happened by any means, and I am not trying to justify or condone their actions and choices. but your car was the target, not you. I hope that you never experience anything like that ever again. I can't even imagine how scary it would be to come out of a place and your car be gone. My heart goes out to you as much as it does to everyone else....

#20 Jan 1, 2008
how do you know so much about this? by what the killer told you? I don't care WHAT the reason was that they said went there, they beat and strangled him to death. i have known pat for 30 YEARS, so don't try to turn the blame on him. pat had a REAL, SERIOUS mental illness, not one contrived to keep him out of prison, and i watched it tear him down over the years. i knew ALL sides of him, good and bad. but he had a good heart, and never MURDERED anyone. also, i've heard some of the rumors about him, and there is one in particular that is the biggest lie of all. you have NO IDEA the heartache and problems his death has caused his family and friends. so,open your eyes and see the big picture. cox and chorpenning were a danger and threat to ANYONE who crossed their path, not just someone they were aquainted with.

#21 Jan 2, 2008
you would feel sad and hurt if a family member was murdered ? everyone dies? what a stupid, inane, answer! have you ever had someone you were close to murdered? then DON"T try and say how you would feel, because YOU DON'T KNOW! you say you are a christian, well, then, i think you would know that THOU SHALL NOT KILL is one of the ten commandments. so far as sitting in judgement, chorpenning and cox are admitted killers.that is stating a FACT, not judging. if we went by the bible, they would be PUT TO DEATH THEMSELVES, but we will be letting the courts decide their punishment, which will be much more lenient than they deserve. you've heard stories about Pat? from the killer? well, i'm sure he is a trustworthy source.i've heard stories too, and i would stake my life on it that the ones i heard were LIES. you must be young, or foolish, to be so blind as to believe everything this con is telling you. i hope God opens your eyes. you ARE right about one thing, though. i think i'll quit coming to this site. hearing about the poor, misunderstood killers makes me physically sick. grow up.

There is regularly a need for more blood donors in Scotland.
With a growing Polish population in the Aberdeen area, the session has been arranged for the blood donor centre in Foresterhill on Wednesday evening.
Organiser Pawel Glowacki said: "It does not matter if it's Scottish or Polish blood because it saves lives."
'Thousands required'
It is estimated that about 80,000 people from Poland live in Scotland and there are more than 440,000 registered blood donors in Poland.
Mr Glowacki told BBC Scotland of the special session: "We should do this - there's huge demand for blood in Scotland.
"Thousands of donors are required to save the lives of babies and accident victims and people waiting for operations."
The Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) hopes the Polish initiative will help supplies.
The SNBTS said 1,000 blood donations were required every day in Scotland to meet patient needs.

These may be more common in the world of bikes that I realized, but I like the way the "Reelight" LED bike light works. Instead of using a dynamo to generate electricity like bike lights of the last several decades, the Reelight uses two neodymium magnets to charge a capacitor. Gadget Lab even supposes that more magnets could be clipped onto your wheel to generate extra power, which could in turn be used to top off phones and the like.
From what I can tell from reading the Amazon reviews, however, these only blink when the magnets pass, meaning it's unlikely they'd generate all that much power in the first place. It looks like you'll have to stick with the dynamos to power real headlights for now.
The Reelight is $40 for a set.

Beth Comstock: Learning To Ride The Data Wave
GE's chief marketing officer says there are things to love about data even if you're from a non-technical background.
Data Science for Business Leaders
If you don't like data, you're not going to like the future. That's because there's a giant digital wave that's overtaking us, with information flooding in all around. We can channel this information to improve decision-making and help businesses become more efficient, but only if we have a working knowledge of data science.
Zero Unplanned Downtime
Data science. It's a term that sends chills down the spine of even the most capable executives, particularly ones who, like me, come from non-technical backgrounds. So it's helpful to think about why data will be so useful to us. Most big businesses have already wrung efficiencies from process-driven, just-in-time models. The advantage of data is that it tells us what we don't know – it can help us pluck trends out of the seeming chaos of customer behavior or tell us how equipment is performing in real time. It helps us find ways to keep machines humming and strive for the new nirvana – "zero unplanned downtime". Zero unplanned downtime basically means things work when they are supposed to. Machines alert us before a problem arises so we can act accordingly – presumably so we can have more time working toward market growth and having people like our products even more than we imagined.
Finding the Signal
But that data is going to be useful only if we know how to tease out the signal. As Kellogg School of Management professor Florian Zettlemeyer told us at GE's Minds and Machines conference, the Industrial Internet is going to challenge managers because they'll need to understand analytics, know what questions to ask and be able to link cause and effect. Data is to us what accounting was to a previous generation of business leaders. "Analytics is becoming the new balance sheet in terms of what we need to know," he said.
Can't we just hire data scientists to take care of data science? Yes, we can and will. But for leaders, the key is going to be setting strategic goals. A recent article in McKinsey Quarterly pointed out that any move to integrate data into a business will falter without well-defined priorities and benchmarks. Support from the C-Suite and a commitment to train mid-level managers who can think through challenges using data are critical to setting a winning strategy.
Data scientist Jeremy Howard, formerly of Kaggle, believes his profession can solve new problems not only through machine learning tools but also with creativity, open-mindedness and tenacity. But first, he notes, "It starts with knowing the objective you're trying to solve and what are the constraints."
Don't Get Washed Away
I confess, I've only learned to love data over time. Now, I function as a much better marketer with analytics, visualizations and models that help bring to life connections that before weren't obvious. With the emergence of the Industrial Internet, as some 50 billion machines come online, a flood of information is about to touch every aspect of business. But it also requires understanding what questions to ask. My advice to business leaders is this: try to get comfortable with data, but you must learn what questions to ask or risk getting washed away.

ufc sucks at dealing with penalties...
1. they hardly ever take any points away from illegal blows
2. they will just keep telling u to stop holding the fence and theres no penalty at all
3. if the loser looses by an illegal blow or badly damage because of it.. and unable to fight... is declared the looser!! wtf
4. theres probably more things but i can' tthink now
ufc need to really inforce their own god dam rules and stop awarding cheaters with the win!
Silva was using his elbows to the side of Lutters head and Huerta hit Halverson on the shoulder with his knee.
Both moves are legal so no, the UFC does not suck. :thumbsdown:
i concur
Yeah, I agree here.
They pretty much just warn you. So you might as well do whatever you want. Hell AA kicked someone in the face on the ground. EVERYONE seems to grab the fence whenever the hell they want to and no one cares.
The Huerta blow was clearly to the shoulder, but oddly enough that isn't even the point. Yves thought the blow was to the head, so he warned him. But then awarded him the victory. If he THOUGHT he nailed him to the head and kocked him out that is an automatic DQ.
--Something I posted in another thread--
Also, I don't know why this is being ignored, but Silva DID land 4 fully illegal elbows to Lutter's head, which after the fight made his forehead look Fing pregnant.
The 4 time UFC champ Randy Couture saw it, but I think he didn't want to make Herb "Fing" Dean look like a chump in yet another title fight. To define why those elbows were illegal, elbows in the UFC need to be deliver in a swinging motion across the body, not in a up/down digging motion. That is why usually people end up hitting with the forearm more than the actual elbow. It needs to be a continuous rotating swing. Silva just drove the point of his elbow into the top of Lutter's head. That is so illegal, I was looking at the TV yelling "OMG .... DQ again for Silva!"
I'm glad Lutter lost, cause he is a fat chump, but Silva sems to have a hard time following the rules of the organizations he fights in. He better read the damn manual, and the UFC needs to start enforcing its rules!
gee, should i say it again? YELLOW CARDS
until then, they won't be a legit sport. you have to be able to enforce the rules you set out... and the UFC doesn't, never has, and maybe never will.
In the slow-motion the elbows do come across the side of the body. From the first angle it does look up and down but I dont think that it was.
I think the UFC needs to have a better definition of elbow blows.At first I thought the hits were illegal,replay showed they were ok ?,heck,I still don't know....:dunno:
the elbows didnt come straight down. watch it again. they come down and then he follows through across his body. if they came straight down there wouldnt be any follow through at all.
IMO the elbews were illigal. Although they followed a "swinging motion", the elbows should have come from the other side. The fist should be near the head FIRST and the tip of the elbow to follow, NOT the elbow first then the fist. I do believe this is what the "downward" strike is disallowed for in essence.
It needs to be cleared up, but i was also shouting for a DQ, and initially thought Herb Dean was stopping the fight for the illigal elbows. I was with Rogan on this, what was the difference from that and the downward elbow but a little more pressure. The right hand should start from his right side and swing across, NOT start from his left and allow the elbow connect before ANY othe part of the arm passes his head.
And i agree also with the knee, the ref shouted "no knee's to the head", then proceeded to let him lie down and get the crap punched out of him, if you thought he knee'd him illigally STOP THE FIGHT drop a point and restart. I expect Herb Dean to be crap these days, seems only Steve Mazagati and Big John are worthy

oh I forgot to mention that squeaky sound are the sway bar end links.... the suspension turned out to be fine, with no leaks and still in decent shape, which of course I found out
the new suspension arrived, heheh, so now I'm in hunt for end links and probably will use autozone ones, yaaa more $ out of my empty pocket :(
but I'll try to offset it by selling my used suspension, I imagine if i put it up for around $100 some of the non-SVT owners will jump at it to get lower ride and better handling for cheap.
wheel bearing on the other hand..... makes me pray every time I get into my car, for that it wouldn't seize when I'm at highway speeds, it's really that bad, and above the noise and vibrations I noticed the negative camber angle on that wheel is increasing too :/ I got me the hub and bearing assembly to make it a lil easier, but I know it's gonna be a PITA anyway, and extremely time consuming since when I'm there i need to change the end links and suspension too.
If you guys could see my browser over past few weeks, like just now I have around 20 tabs open about calculus, about 12 on quadratic equations, also around 12 on social studies, 20 on ford focus 'HOW TOs' + youtube, and South Park website, AND a nice set of 500+ pages books on my desk. uggghhhh ... I .. neeed.... some ... life PLEASE :P

: Intro
Hey, all. My name is Shay, and despite having curly/wavy hair (2b/2c) all my life, I was never taught how to take care of or manage my curls =[ I did a massive amount of trial and error my senior year of high school and finally figured out how to wear my hair with it's waves and have it not be super frizzy (prior to senior year I had been flat-ironing my hair almost every day since 7th grade... yikes!)
Now it's a couple years after graduation, and I'm looking to take it to the next level and not only have my hair look decent, I want it to BE HEALTHY and look EXCELLENT! I am now on the beginning days of my journey to become poo-free!

Newbie Question About An Error Message
Hi All,
I am a real newbie to mathematica and have just encountered the
following error message and I have no idea why and what it means.
I have written a function to calculate the abs of a vector as follows
abs[x_] := Sqrt[x[[1]]^2+x[[2]]^2+x[[3]]^2]
then i was doing the following fine until a few moments ago and
mathematica starting complaining. I am to my knowledge not asking
anything different to what I asked it before, but I don't know enough
about mathematica to know much more.
Ok then I try
Which is know the answer to is 2(x-xi), and mathematica has given me the
answer. However now it is saying, maybe I have changed my input and no
am typing something wrong.
Part::partw: Part 2 of {x - xi} does not exist.
Part::partw: Part 3 of {x - xi} does not exist.
Any help will be much appreciated,

2000 S-10 2.2L Code PO758
I have a 2000 S-10 2wd with a 2.2L in it. I changed the transmission filter and gasket about 3 weeks ago. Yesterday I was at work and I backed up no problem, when I put the truck in to drive it lunged foward and it was like I was starting out in third gear. When I got home I put the hand reader on it and it gave me code PO758 Shift Solenoid B Electrial. I drove the truck around and cleared the code while driving and it shifted fine soon as I came to a complete stop it acted up again. I feel like I am starting out in third gear and it will not shift up or down. I can go 55 but at 3grand RPM's. I can manually shift it down to 2nd but that is it nothing else. Is the solenoid bad or just a connection? Is it hard to get to or an easy job? How much do solenoid's cost?
Thank You

Some customers may comment on one or more of the following conditions:
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is ON.
The transmission is defaulted to second gear (4L80/85-E).
The transmission is defaulted to third gear (4L60/65-E).
The instrument cluster is inoperative.
Upon investigation, one or all of the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0740, P0753, P0758, P0785, P0787, P0973, P0976, P1860, P2761, P2764 and P2769 may be set depending on the vehicle.
The most likely cause of this condition may be a loss of voltage to the transmission solenoid power supply circuit.
This condition may also be the result of an incorrect installation of an aftermarket electronic device such as a remote starter or alarm system.
Important: If the vehicle is equipped with an aftermarket electronic device and the DTCs are being set when the device is being used, verify that the appropriate fuse is being supplied battery voltage during operation. If voltage is not present at this fuse, these DTCs will be set due to lack of voltage at the solenoids. This condition is most likely to occur with an incorrectly installed remote starting system. If this is the case, refer the customer to the installer of the system for corrections. ANY REPAIRS DUE TO AFTERMARKET INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES IS A NON-WARRANTABLE ITEM.
With the ignition switch in the RUN position, test for battery voltage at the circuit fuse in the transmission solenoid power supply circuit. Refer to the appropriate SI Document for the transmission solenoid power supply circuit information.
If battery voltage is present at the fuse, inspect the ignition voltage circuit between the fuse and the transmission for possible opens.
If battery voltage is not present at the fuse, test for continuity between the fuse and the ignition switch. If NO continuity is between the fuse and the ignition switch, repair the open in that circuit.
If you have continuity between the fuse and the ignition switch, the most likely cause is the ignition switch. Replace the ignition switch using the appropriate Ignition Switch Replacement procedure in SI. Refer to group number 2.188 of the parts catalog for part description and usage of the ignition switch.

Chris Jones says the executives told lawmakers to be cautious in their budgeting for next year.

Education Larry Hogan On The Ocean City Boardwalk By Don Rush • Aug 15, 2014 change maryland website OCEAN CITY, Md.

Many candidates for office in the state are on the Eastern Shore this week for the Maryland Association of Counties summer conference in Ocean City.ec Delaware Economy Still Shakey, Forecasting Firm Says By Don Rush • Sep 12, 2013 Don Rush An economic forecasting firm says that Delaware is the only state in the country still facing the potential of falling back into a recession. That harsh picture comes from Moody's Analytics after reviewing the state's employment figures, housing market and industrial production at the end of four years of recession. The jobless rate in Delaware has stayed at 7.4 percent which matches the national average which has been declining from around 10 percent over the last five years.

That amounts to nearly 690-thousand hitting the road from July 3 through July 7th. Christine Delise with AAA Mid-Atlantic says decline is in part due to a shorter holiday this year than last. But she adds federal budget cuts and the economy are still having their effect. Mixed Assessment of Delaware Economy By Don Rush • May 3, 2013 Don Rush The US Chamber of Commerce has found that there have been some mixed results for job creation in the state of Delaware. Central Delaware Chamber of Commerce President Judy Diogo noted that the economy of the First State is getting strong with companies making big investments like Kraft Foods. But she added it is not occurring at a rapid pace. Among the 30 indicators the state is performing well in six of them including first economic output per job. Mixed Forecast For Delaware Revenue Projections By Don Rush • Mar 19, 2013 freedigitalphotos.net NEW CASTLE, Del. (AP) - The panel that sets Delaware's official revenue projections has offered a mixed bag in updating its financial forecast. The Delaware Economic and Financial Advisory Council on Monday lowered projected revenues for the current fiscal year by $26.5 million, saying some $45 million in corporate income taxes will be collected in the fiscal year starting July 1, rather than this year. An overall drop of about $51 million in estimated corporate income tax was partially offset by an increase of almost $17 million in estimated personal income taxes.

The Hardin County Republican Women's Club (HCRWC) will host Jim Waters, president of Bluegrass Institute for Public Policy Solutions, Kentucky's first and only free market think tank at 6 p.m. Feb. 18, at Stone Hearth in Elizabethtown.
Nearly 200 area students disregarded freezing temperatures Monday for a chance to land a spot on "Treasure Island" when Missoula Children's Theatre held auditions at Hardin County Schools Performing Arts Center at John Hardin High School.
The auditions attracted 192 children in first through eighth grades for the production that hits the PAC stage at 7 p.m. today and 1 p.m. Saturday. Between 50 and 60 children ultimately were cast.
Elizabethtown resident Anthony Abang comes from a family that includes many in the medical field, so it might have been a good bet he would join their ranks.
Abang's mother is a retired psychiatrist, his wife is a pharmacist, his sister and brother-in-law are in internal medicine, his brother is a pediatric dentist and his sister-in-law is a pulmonologist.
But it was a spinal cord injury suffered by his father, an anesthesiologist, which led the 41-year-old to his specific area of medicine.
It is in the most difficult of times when true character is revealed. This is when you really begin to know what people are all about, how their hearts beat and who they share their hearts with.
We are all faced with good times and bad. I have always believed to fully appreciate the good times you have to endure some bad times.
Life often is unfair, as we know, but life is always good.

KENTUCKY WEATHER. We got some measurable snow last week but it sure has turned bitter cold again. After all, it is still winter. We just have to grin and bear it. Just stay warm when going out. Also, might be a good idea to put a few blankets in your vehicle, just in case your vehicle breaks down or you get stuck in traffic.

Winter is again upon us with a fury. Since I have not been driving since my eye surgery, I have started using Tack Transportation services for appointments instead of making a nuisance of myself asking others to take me places. This Tuesday, I had an appointment and had contacted Tack to take me and they called saying their services had been canceled because of the weather. I wasn't looking forward to the risk anyway, so I rescheduled my appointment. Hoping for better weather next time.

Forgive me for my ignorance. But I cannot fathom how a site like this garners the amount of eyeballs it gets, meaning millions. "I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER" — for those of you who have been living in a cave until now — takes pictures of cats, puts nearly undecipherable "English" onto the photos with cutesy sayings, and passes itself off as modern culture.
Okay, he says, taking steps backwards cautiously . . . .
I bring this up because in the realm of GNU/Linux, there is an effort afoot to promote the operating system — a few actually — and they seem to be gaining some solid footing. One is the Tux Project, in which I am involved, which will be gaining nonprofit status soon. This project acts as a vehicle to promote GNU/Linux where the larger corporate distros can't — or won't — promote the operating system, generally speaking.
The Tux Project joins other efforts already in place from the likes of The *Nixed Report, which is trying to get air time on the radio for GNU/Linux, and GetGNULinux.com, which is flying the FOSS flag in Europe (which, incidentally, is responsible for pointing me to the source of most of the buttons below).
These are only a couple of examples of how some groups are getting GNU/Linux out there. There are others, and while they are taking more conventional routes, perhaps having a site with cute kitty photos with bizarre English, and calling it I CAN HAS FREEZOFTWARE might do better.
Or not.

Bikram yoga
Also called hot yoga, Bikram is practiced in a humid room cranked up to between 100 and 110F. There are 26 poses, done at varying paces depending on the instructor. Expect copious sweat, and don't forget to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
Fri Dec 18 2009
Bikram Yoga
(106 Montague St between Henry and Hicks Sts, second floor, Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn; 718-797-2100, bikramyogabrooklyn.com) * (121 Fulton St between Nassau and Williams Sts, third floor; 212-964-6411). Single class $19, packages available.
Type of yoga offered: Bikram
Name of class: Bikram Yoga
Length: 90 minutes
What to expect: The teacher leads the class through the 26 Bikram poses (almost all of them are done twice, and none are held for very long) in a heated studio, delivering clear, detailed instructions at a rapid-fire pace and cheering us on through the extra-tough parts.
Level: Yoga newbies can do it.
The verdict: Bikram feels more like boot camp in a sauna than the kind of yoga I'm familiar with (no chanting? no speeches on spirituality? wait, you're telling me this is supposed to hurt my joints?), and it's hard to tell if I actually worked hard, or if I was spent simply from enduring that heat. Still, this class was surprisingly manageable, thanks to the way in which the instructor described every component of each posture in quick, confident words, and encouraged me to sit down whenever I was overwhelmed or light-headed. I'm a little vague on the "medical benefits" she repeatedly assured us we were reaping; are they worth putting up with the overpowering mildew smell, presumably from the studio's perspiration-drenched carpet?—Megan Gendell
Bikram Yoga Lower East Side
(172 Allen St between Rivington and Stanton Sts, second floor; 212-353-8859, bikramyogales.com). Single class $20, packages available.
Type of yoga offered: Bikram
Name of class: Bikram Yoga
What to expect: Two run-throughs of the standard 26 poses
Level: Yoga newbies can do it.
The verdict: Novices here are invited to push themselves only as far as they want—which might mean just watching (and getting accustomed to the crazy Bikram heat). But don't look too closely (or do): The class is packed with hipster hotties flaunting porn-star bods, all shiny with sweat. Most important: five showers in the changing rooms.—Roberto De Luna
Bikram Yoga NYC
(Various locations; bikramyoganyc.com). Single class $23, packages available.
Type of yoga: Bikram
Name of class: Bikram
Length: 90 minutes
What to expect: 26 poses, each repeated twice, held for 60 to 90 seconds. The room is 100 degrees and humid.
Level: Yoga newbies can do it.
The verdict: Bikram yoga is said to be best for competitive people, because the point is to be in an uncomfortable, challenging environment. That acknowledged, the heat wasn't too hard to get used to. In fact, it made the stretching opportunities wonderful. Our Friday afternoon class was fairly crowded—about 15 people, all raining sweat. Our instructor remembered all our names and would call out if one of us was doing well (see the above note about competition). Still, it was a very long hour and a half, and the savasana (resting pose) was woefully short.—Emily Jacobson
Bikram Yoga Park Slope
(289 Flatbush Ave between Prospect and St. Marks Pls, Park Slope, Brooklyn; 718-399-3369, bikramyogaparkslope.com). Single class $20, packages available.
Type of yoga offered: Bikram Yoga
Name of class: Bikram Yoga
Length: 90 minutes
What to expect: Straight-up Bikram—you'll do all the standard poses a few times each. The pace is fairly rapid, and while the teacher explains verbally what to do, she doesn't come around and correct your form (maybe she's a sweatphobe?). No chanting here, just lots of breathing exercises.
Level: Some experience helps.
The verdict: Free-spirited yogis will dig this place's hippie vibe, diverse crowd and liberal dress code (all shapes and sizes get half naked). But ack, it's carpeted, and you can smell the cumulative effects of sweaty bodies on absorbent rugs. The class itself is tough; the temp gets cranked up to a challenging 104F—and you can find just as much difficult fun elsewhere without the stench.—Corinne Mohr

The Boston Tea Party was founded in 2006 by Tom Knapp, following a Libertarian National Convention with reduced attendence and a disappointing change to the platform. In May 2008, the Libertarian Party nominated former Republican Congressman Bob Barr. The frustration that many Libertarians had with the party's selection of a more conservative candidate brought some attention to the Boston Tea Party. The party saw an increase in membership in the month between the Barr nomination and the BTP's National Convention.
I am one of those new members. I was drawn to join the party for several reasons. First, I liked the idea of a party requiring no dues to join, but instead a simple endorsement of the party's platform. Ultimately, it was that simple platform that drew me to join the Boston Tea Party:
The Boston Tea Party supports reducing the size, scope and power of government at all levels and on all issues, and opposes increasing the size, scope and power of government at any level, for any purpose.
The party's founder Tom Knapp says that the platform allows it to be a "big tent," welcoming a diverse group of members and candidates who simply seek a decrease in size of government, whether they be Green, liberal-leaning, conservative-leaning, anarchist, or anything in between. What makes this party handle such a diverse group is the fact that the platform is so simple and that the platform can never be changed. It is attached to the bylaws.
How does the patform work? A Boston Tea Party candidate would approach each issue with a small government solution. This is very in line with how our Founding Fathers intended for us to run the USA. In a government "by the people, for the people," laws should only be made to protect people's rights, not to eliminate choice. Most government programs, even those that provide services, restrict the rights of some individuals to have a choice (i.e. Social Security).
When the membership of the BTP logs on to the party's web site to vote in the national convention, they are expected to vote with the platform in mind. The voting process uses approval voting, so a member may vote for all of the candidates who he/she feels are acceptable. I voted for two of the party's VP candidates, and some members may have voted for all three. "None of the Above" is also a fairly popular option that members may select. If NOTA happens to win an election, than the party will not run a candidate.
Every two years at convention, the Boston Tea Party adopts a program of no more than five stances on issues. The current program adopted August 21, 2006 is as follows:
1. The Boston Tea Party calls for a complete and unconditional withdrawal of US troops from, and a cessation of US military operations against or within, Iraq.
2. The Boston Tea Party supports repeal of the USA PATRIOT Act.
3. The Boston Tea Party calls for an end to the federal prohibition of marijuana and hemp.
4. The Boston Tea Party calls for the immediate repeal of the REAL ID Act and any and all National ID plans.
5. The Boston Tea Party calls for legislation adopting an annual, regularized increase in the personal exemption to the federal income tax of $1,000 or more, and the additional application of said personal exemption to all FICA/Social Security taxes paid by employees and employers.
The program allows the party membership to select which issues are the biggest priority and how they should be handled. If the government ever reaches a point where it is sufficient on most of the membership's priorities, there could be fewer than five points on the program. Just as if there is a sufficient candidate for another party that is sufficient to the membership, they may vote to not run a presidential campaign in that election.
The Boston Tea Party is a complete representation of libertarianism that will always represent it's membership. With no fees, no travel, and no extensive commitments necessary, and a one member, one vote convention, every member is represented in a truly democratic party.
I also feel the party's purpose to be a significant mission that I can support,
to empower lovers of freedom to reduce the size, scope and power of government through various means, including but not limited to: nominating and/or endorsing candidates for election and appointment to public office; affecting public policy through information, education & advocacy campaigns; and supporting the diverse and important work of the individuals and organizations comprising the libertarian movement.
It is for these reasons that I joined the Boston Tea Party just a few weeks ago. With the party being so young, growing, and accessible, I was able to take a leadership role right away. I utilized my skills and resources in Internet radio to host a debate for the presidential and vice-presidential candidates on RPI Radio. I also started an Indiana affiliate, the Boston Tea Party of Indiana, which is only one National Committee vote away from becoming official. I hope that our affiliate can make the message of libertarianism more accessible to the people of Indiana, be a force for promoting free and open elections in our state, and run successful campaigns for office so that me way inject libertarian ideas into debates and policy "at all levels and on all issues."
If you would like to join the Boston Tea Party, the only requirements are that you endorse the party's platform by signing up on the web site. If you are in Indiana, you may also join our state affiliate by joining its Yahoo Group. Visit the BTPIN's web site to stay tuned to the latest BTP news from Indiana.

Introducing Destinations Eyes and Face – Limited Edition Makeup Collection Holiday 2013
Holiday travel can be a hassle, but what waits on the other end makes it more than worth the trouble. Spending the holiday with friends and family is a treat no matter where you need to travel.
Alima Pure's new limited edition color collection for Holiday 2013, Destinations, makes creating holiday makeup looks easy, whether you are traveling or having guests come to you. Named for some of our favorite holiday travel destinations, the four mineral eyeshadows lend themselves to creating a myriad of looks, while the two face makeup products (including a brand new and exciting hybrid product) are the perfect complement.
With these four eyeshadows, you can create a subtle look to wear around the family table, or a dramatic look to ring in the new year, as well as a variety of looks for every day in between.
- New Orleans is a pearly beige-gold.
- Juneau is an icy blue-green with golden shimmer.
- Taos is a velvety red-plum matte.
- Nashville is a smoky bronze shimmer.
This face makeup collection, packaged in our signature pink Alima Pure bag, is the debut of a new product for us: Face Radiance Powder! Designed to be a hybrid of blush, bronzer, shimmer powder and finishing powder, Face Radiance Powder can be used all over for subtle color, or layered on cheeks or eyes to provide distinct color.
- Sitka Luminous Shimmer Blush is a bright peach that is nearly matte, but with a delicate shimmer finish.
- Sedona Face Radiance Powder is a light, peachy bronze with a soft, radiant pearl finish.
How to Wear the Destinations Collection
Family Thanksgiving Look
Apply New Orleans shadow from lashes to brows with the #37 Eye Blending Brush. Using the #39 Large Shadow Brush, add some Nashville to the outer corner of the eye and in the crease. With a #31 Fine Liner Brush, smudge a little Taos or Nashville along the upper lash line. Put Sitka on the apples of the cheeks with the #17 Blush Brush, and finish with your favorite lip color.
Holiday Party Look
With the #37 Brush, apply New Orleans from crease to brow. Use the #39 Brush to apply Juneau to the lid, up to the crease. Again with the #39, blend Taos into the outer corner of each eye, extending to slightly above the crease. Apply Nashville to the upper lash line with a dampened #33 Angle Liner Brow Brush. Smudge a little New Orleans under the lower lash line with the #31 Brush. Using the #7 Half Moon Brush, sweep Sedona Face Radiance Powder along cheekbones, forehead, and any exposed body parts that you wish to give a little extra color. With the #17 Brush, apply Sedona to the apples of the cheeks. Complete the look with the lip color of your choice.

The Meteorological Agency on Monday warned about continued gusty winds and high waves in northern Japan after a massive, typhoonlike storm swept the nation over the weekend, killing three people and wreaking havoc on transport.
The town of Erimo in southern Hokkaido clocked maximum gusts of 141.8 kph while Shirakawa, Fukushima Prefecture, saw gusts reach 124.6 kph Monday morning.
Northern Japan was expected to be subject to strong winds through Monday night, the agency said.
A massive low-pressure system was developing near Hokkaido but was expected to move farther north, the agency said. Wind speeds were forecast to reach 72 kph in Hokkaido, 79.2 kph along the Pacific side of Tohoku and 61.2 kph along the northeastern Sea of Japan coast.
In Hokkaido, the threat of torrential rain has subsided, but the agency warned about potential surges in river levels due to snow runoff.
Three people fell victim to the spring storm over the weekend after being swept away by high waves and other hazards, according to police reports.
The storm also disrupted operations on Central Japan Railway Co.'s Tokaido Shinkansen Line for about 100 minutes from late Sunday morning after gusty winds apparently sparked a power failure.
East Japan Railway Co. also saw its Tohoku Shinkansen Line linking Tokyo with Tohoku disrupted on Sunday evening.
The storm prompted All Nippon Airways to cancel 26 domestic flights that use New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido and 20 other flights. Japan Airlines, Jetstar Japan and AirAsia Japan scrubbed a combined 12 flights.
