Walk Around
Boarding "Nipper" on her starboard quarter, one immediately notices the solid feel of the deck. This solid feel continues throughout the vessel. No soft spots were noticed. Her side decks are roomy providing easy navigation all the way around, which would make line handling very good. All of "Nippers" exposed teak rails and so forth are covered with "Sunbrella" canvas coverings, even the cap rails. Fittings, such as cletes and chocks are all made of high quality bronze. Components in general are all of high quality.
Continuing on to the bow there is a "Simpson Lawrence" anchor windlass with all chain rode and a 45# CQR "plow" type anchor. This is operated by a deck mounted switch, with provision made for manual lifting of the anchor in the event of a loss of electrical power.
Grab rails are provided along the house for a secure handhold where inclimate weather may be encountered. Outboard rails are well built, sturdy and teak capped with swing up sections for boarding.
30 AMP electrical inlet is located at port aft cabin location. There is a swim platform on the stern for boarding of the tender.
Sturdy and enclosed hand rails lead up the aft cabintop to the Fly Bridge. Also located on the aft cabintop is the cradle for the Dinghy. This can be lifted and launched by an all aluminum mast and boom. The boom can also be used to keep the Dinghy rigged over the stern for quick deployment.
The Fly Bridge is roomy with plenty of seating and here also is the Fly Bridge vessel console. This area is cover by a "Sunbrella" bimini to break the harsh sunshine. Fly Bridge decks are of teak and feel solid all over. Teak decks are superior non-skid material and all decks aboard "Nipper" have a good solid feel to them.
There are two entrances to the interior of the vessel. One swinging door to starboard and a sliding hatch and door to the aft cabin.
Upon entering the starboard door and into the Salon, one is surrounded by a warm teak interior that is a high point of Asian built vessels. Teak and holly deck and no carpet. This Salon has the galley up and the Salon helm station is located here. The longer one owns the vessel, the more this downstairs location gets more comfortable to use. This is a great advantage for foul weather conditions and use of this helm station should be practiced. Here is located all the necessary instruments for navigation of the vessel including Autopilot,, Radar, depth, speed and GPS plotter which instruments carry on up to the Fly Bridge as well. There are two settee's in the Salon. An "L" shaped settee to starboard with an adjustable dining table, which can be converted into an extra berth and a bench settee directly across to port.
The galley is FWD and to port in the Salon and has a "Princess" propane stove and oven. Here too is the "Magic Chef" refrigerator that operates on 110 AC voltage and a stainless sink. Power for the vessel is supplied by two large 8D (generator has it's own start battery) batteries for main engine start and house power. Power from these batteries can be chosen individually or both together.
On and forward is the forward cabin with a "vee" type berth and ensuite head. There is plenty of stowage here and the head is equipped fully with a sink and a wet type shower can be rigged.
In the stern is the "Master" or aft cabin with split berths and an ensuite head with shower. This head is larger, with plenty of counter space surrounding the sink. There is a centerline "chest of drawers" here and under berth drawers. There is a hang up closet located here as well. Access to the aft deck can be made through a hatch and door arrangement.
Access to the engine room can be made through several deck panels in the Salon sole. This engine room is very well equipped with top of the line equipment. There is plenty of moving about room down here, to perform necessary maintenance chores.
Brokers Observations
"Nipper" has all the right stuff, with top quality components, which if properly maintained will outlast most of us. Grand Banks installed top of the line equipment in these vessels with an exceptionally rugged hull with protected running gear. These exceptional vessels are not fast, but rather designed for economy and ruggedness. An excellent choice for those that would like to tour in safety and comfort.

The child of a Ballarat woman bashed to death in her bedroom saw the man who may have killed her, police say.
Police and emergency services were called to a property on Doveton Street South about 10.40am on Saturday, after the 29-year-old woman's relatives visited the house.
Detective Inspector John Potter said there was no sign of forced entry, and that it is possible the woman knew her attacker.
"This does not appear to be a burglary ... we are treating this as a homicide," he said.
He said the woman suffered from "blunt force trauma item to the head and body".
Detective Inspector Potter said no weapon was found at the scene.
He said although the child was helping the police, he was extremely traumatised and did not recognise the man.
"Probably the best that we've got is that he was wearing dark-ish clothing," he said.
It did not appear the man had threatened the child, and he may not have known the child was home.
Police are asking people to report any activity, no matter how irrelevant, around the area between 8.30pm Friday and 10.40am Saturday.

Gambia's Bensouda slated to be ICC prosecutor: envoy
By Patrick Worsnip
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Fatou Bensouda of Gambia has emerged as the consensus candidate for the high-profile job of chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, a diplomat at the center of the selection process said on Wednesday.
Bensouda, 50, is deputy to the current chief prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo of Argentina, whose term ends next year.
An informal meeting of ICC members will be held in New York on Thursday to discuss the appointment, said Liechtenstein's U.N. Ambassador Christian Wenaweser, president of the Assembly of States Parties (ASP) to the Rome Statute that set up the court.
"I will recommend to the meeting that, based on my consultations, we go forward with a single candidate, Fatou Bensouda," Wenaweser told Reuters by telephone.
The appointment will be made at a formal session of the 118-nation ASP in New York on December 12, Wenaweser said.
Bensouda was named deputy prosecutor of the Hague-based ICC in 2004 and previously worked as a legal adviser and trial attorney at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda in Arusha, Tanzania.
She has long been regarded as the favorite to take over from Moreno-Ocampo, particularly at a time when the ICC's cases are largely focused on Africa.
She was one of four candidates short-listed by a search committee last month to replace Moreno-Ocampo as chief prosecutor of the world's top war crimes court. Continued...

On Tuesday's Countdown show, Keith Olbermann referred to Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly as "inducers to violence" as the MSNBC host, during the show's "Worst Person" segment, attacked conservative talk radio host Eddie Burke of Anchorage, Alaska, for making inflammatory remarks calling two women who organized a protest against Governor Palin "socialist, baby-killing maggots," and for giving out the women's cell phone numbers to his audience leading the women to receive death threats. Olbermann suggested that Burke would fit in with Limbaugh or O'Reilly: "Mr. Burke, he got a paltry one-week suspension, and, no doubt, consideration to fill in some day for comedian Rush Limbaugh or Billow or some other of radio's inducers to violence."
And during the show's regular segment, "McCain in the Membrane," a recently added portion of the program whose purpose is, according to Olbermann, to cover "the most outrageous or untrue things said by or on behalf of Republican presidential nominee John McCain," the MSNBC host charged that it was "sick" for Palin to tout herself as an advocate for special needs children after she had, in Olbermann's words, "gutted" funding for the Alaska Special Olympics. But Olbermann ignored the recent finding by FactCheck.org that, as governor, Palin secured a substantial increase in state spending for special needs children in the education system, thus strengthening her credentials as a advocate for special needs children. Update: As documented by NewsBuster Noel Sheppard, it seems Olbermann was incorrect in his accusation that Palin reduced spending on the Alaska Special Olympics. Click here for more details.
Citing an article in Education Week in their analysis, FactCheck.org contends:
Palin signed legislation in March 2008 that would increase public school funding considerably, including special needs funding. In particular, it would increase spending for certain special needs students that Alaska calls "intensive needs" (students with high-cost special requirements) from $26,900 per student in 2008 to $73,840 per student in 2011. That almost triples the per-student spending in three fiscal years. Palin's original proposal, according to the Anchorage Daily News, would have increased funds slightly more, giving intensive needs students a $77,740 allotment by 2011.
The Education Week article quoted Carl Rose, executive director of the Association of Alaska School Boards, as calling the increase in funding a "historic event."
Ironically, during the same show's "Worst Person" segment, Olbermann cited FactCheck.org to disprove G. Gordon Liddy's claim that Barack Obama cannot prove he was born in the United States. Olbermann: "The nonpartisan Web site, FactCheck.org, examined the birth certificate in person showing him born in Hawaii. They touched it, they photographed it, they analyzed it. It's the original. He was born in Hawaii."
Below is a transcript of relevant portions of the Tuesday, September 16, Countdown show on MSNBC:
KEITH OLBERMANN, IN OPENING TEASER: And as the Republican campaign descends into what one former McCain supporter today describes as "farce," Governor Palin again invokes special needs children while vetoing more than a quarter of a million dollars for the Special Olympics.
8:31 p.m.
OLBERMANN, PLUGGING THE SEGMENT: -"McCain in the Membrane" and the would-be Vice President who gutted her own state's Special Olympics.
8:42 p.m.
OLBERMANN: But first, our newest feature, the most outrageous or untrue things said by or on behalf of Republican presidential nominee John McCain: "McCain in the Membrane." Twice now in two days – in Colorado, then today at Vienna, Ohio – Governor Palin has again invoked – that is the polite term – her status as the mother of a special needs child and the role of advocate she wants to play for special needs kids. Yesterday, she said, "Ever since I took the chief executive's job up north, I've pushed for more funding for students with special needs." Today the quote was, "I sought more funds for students with special needs."
Problem: As the chief executive up north, she vetoed $275,000, crossed it out, of the state funding of the Special Olympics. She cut the Special Olympics budget in half and is campaigning as an advocate for special needs kids. That's pretty sick. Well, at least we do know which charity I should donate that hundred bucks to every time she lies about her record: the Alaska Special Olympics.
8:48 p.m.
OLBERMANN, DURING THE "WORST PERSON" SEGMENT: The runner-up, Eddie Burke if radio station KBYR in Anchorage, Alaska. There was a protest against Governor Palin there over the weekend, so naturally Burke called the two women who organized it, quote, "socialist, baby-killing maggots." Then he gave out their personal cell phone numbers and encouraged listeners to call them up and abuse them. The women got death threats. Mr. Burke, he got a paltry one-week suspension, and, no doubt, consideration to fill in some day for comedian Rush Limbaugh or Billow or some other of radio's inducers to violence.

Lack of supervision a factor in Indiana child drownings
A new state report says a lack of supervision is a factor in most children's drowning deaths in Indiana waters.
The Indiana Department of Child Services and the Department of Natural Resources issued the report Tuesday on the 11 youth drowning deaths in fiscal 2011, the last year for which complete statistics are available.
Child agency director Mary Beth Bonaventura says it is the responsibility of adults to make sure children are safe in water.
The DNR says three children have been among Indiana's 27 drownings this year. That includes a 5-year-old boy found unresponsive in a northeastern Indiana lake 25 miles north of Fort Wayne last week. Conservation officers say family members noticed Dominic Slone-Lehman of Cromwell missing and he was spotted floating in about 5 feet of water.

SAN DIEGO, July 4, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- LoanLove.com has a mission to help consumers and borrowers alike in obtaining the latest information on mortgage lending trends, the real-estate market and the U.S. financial landscape for the purpose of helping them obtain a home loan they love. The team at LoanLove.com is devoted to help empower both first time and experienced homeowners with valuable resources, first-class knowledge and connections to top-rated industry professionals. To fulfill this goal LoanLove.com is continually updating their website with new articles and guides. LoanLove.com continues to help homeowners to understand the real estate market with their new article that answers the question "Why are mortgage rates going up?"
The article helps homeowners to understand why current home mortgage rates have risen so quickly after last year's record lows and what they should do if they had been planning to purchase a home or refinance their home loans. The Loan Love article says: "If you've been sitting on the fence, undecided whether or not to apply for a mortgage or to refinance your existing loan, you've probably worn out the toe of your shoes (and the seat of your pants) by kicking yourself repeatedly since the recent surge in interest rates. But all hope is not lost. Most financial experts say that while rates likely won't return to their former low levels, it's also not likely they'll have another similar jump before the end of the year. Of course, those are the same experts who predicted rates would remain low until the unemployment rate falls to 6.5 percent, so you might want to take that guidance with a huge grain of salt and lock in your rate now."
So what did cause mortgage interest rates to rise so fast within a few short days? Loan Love says that, just like many mortgage interest rate changes, this issue is tied up in bonds. The article says: "To help bolster the faltering economy, the Federal Reserve initiated a bond-purchasing program, spending $85 billion each month to buy U.S. Treasury and agency mortgage-backed securities to help keep interest rates low, in turn spurring consumer purchasing. But earlier this month, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke told reporters the Fed could begin tapering off bond purchases in the coming months, perhaps even terminating the program by the middle of 2014. In a statement issued on June 19, the Fed also noted that it "sees the downside risks to the outlook for the economy and the labor market as having diminished since the fall." It also expects inflation to be at or below the 2 percent objective set to further economic recovery."
Basically these two announcements taken together caused stock market investors to run for cover and jack interest rates up. News of the announcements affected the mortgage industry greatly; the average 30-year mortgage rate jumped from 3.74 percent to 4.14 and the largest mortgage lender in the U.S., Wells Fargo, hiked its rates from 3.9 percent to 4.5 percent. But despite the jump, those who were unable to lock in the lower rates of earlier this year should not give up entirely. The Loan Love article says, "Although the rise in rates almost immediately resulted in a decline in mortgage applications, the housing market appears strong – so far. What's the take-home message? If you've hopped off the fence to attend your own, private pity party, stop playing Monday morning quarterback: Lock in your rate now, and save yourself the cost of another new pair of butt-kicking boots."

Distracted kindergarteners become gamblers: study
By Terri Coles
TORONTO (Reuters) - Children rated as impulsive by their kindergarten teachers appear more likely to begin gambling behaviors like playing cards or placing bets before they hit middle school, Canadian researchers said on Monday.
The study in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine is the first to show gambling among children this young, said Linda Pagani, who led the study at Sainte-Justine University Hospital Research Center and the Universite de Montreal.
"The question has always been, 'What comes before adolescent gambling?'" Pagani said in a telephone interview.
The study's results add gambling to a list of later problems associated with early impulsivity, she said, including delinquency, failure to complete high school and mental health and addiction problems in adulthood.
Kindergarten teachers for 163 students were asked to complete a questionnaire at the beginning of the school year to rank the children's inattentiveness, distractibility and hyperactivity.
Six years later, at an average age of 11.5, the children told the researchers in telephone interviews how often they participated in gambling-related behaviors such as playing cards or bingo, buying lottery tickets, playing video games or video poker for money or placing bets at sporting events or with friends.
After controlling for factors like family composition, parents' education and household income, the researchers found an increase of one unit on the impulsivity scale in kindergarten corresponded to a 25 percent increase in gambling involvement by the sixth grade.
People who start gambling in adolescence are more likely to have severe gambling problems in adulthood, Pagani said. Continued...

Nobody should have to spend a night on the streets, but the prospect becomes even more unbearable during the winter.
Our survey of winter shelters indicates that more people than ever sought emergency shelter last year to avoid facing the extreme cold without a roof over their heads, but recent changes to welfare benefits could leave many homelessness services unable to cope with demand this winter.
One-third of winter night shelters were part-funded by housing benefit last year, but a court's decision that night shelters should not be able to automatically claim housing benefit on behalf of homeless clients risks closing off a crucial funding stream for homeless services.
Councils must act early
Given the financial uncertainty and challenges ahead, we are calling on councils to start getting ready now. Cold weather kills and there is no question that good quality winter night shelters – often the only emergency help available – play an important role in offering a lifeline to many people, but they must be more than a stop-gap solution to the problem of homelessness. Local areas need to have not only an emergency response in place, but the services and support to move individuals out of homelessness for good.
Many temporary shelters had to remain open longer throughout winter last year. This enabled them to connect with a greater number of rough sleepers and direct them towards the help they needed. We also saw a greater emphasis on assessment and referral meaning individuals were given the support they need to move away from homelessness towards independence and long-term well-being.
For example, one council last year made a commitment to finding accommodation for everyone seeking emergency shelter before allowing them to leave their care, remaining open until every placement had been successfully made.
Elsewhere, several councils improved the way different services, such as night shelters, B&Bs, outreach teams, housing options and faith groups, work together. Services have been able to share information and agree tactics well in advance of the cold weather.
While these improvements are encouraging, our survey indicated that this good work is not echoed throughout the country.
A quarter of those who sought help last winter were unknown to local services, suggesting that a large number of homeless people remained hidden throughout the year. Even more worrying is the report that 50% of people accommodated by shelters went back to the streets when they moved out, continuing the problem of homelessness. Effectively responding to those who find themselves in night shelters and moving them on to appropriate support and long-term help is essential in ending this cycle of rough sleeping.
StreetLink is a telephone line and website available across England which enables the public to alert local authorities about rough sleepers in their area. The service received 2,883 referrals between December 2012 and January 2013 – an indication of how acute the problem of rough sleeping is during the winter months and how concerning it is to the general public.
There is a fundamental need for secure long-term funding for effective accommodation and services that provide people with a secure base they can call home - so they don't return to the streets and can strive to be active participants in the communities in which they live.

Indecision purgatory.
There is no place worse than the state of indecision. Are you in or are you out? Conditions will never be perfect. What the hell are you waiting for? Just make a decision! If you decide to go ahead, then move forward with all the enthusiasm, gusto and courage you can muster. If you decide not to go, you will escape the emotional purgatory that you are in, and you can go back to watching TV. My recommendation – put on your rhino two-inch-thick skin, point your horn forward, and CHARGE massively!!! You can't make a more sorry decision than no decision.

Junior midfielder Kristie Smilanich (Kalamazoo/Christian) and sophomore forward Tammy Unsworth (White Lake/Walled Lake Northern) of the 2006 Ferris State University women's soccer team have both been honored as All-Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) selections in an announcement made by the league office.
|All-GLIAC Honorees
|Ferris State's Kristie Smilanich (top) and Tammy Unsworth (bottom) both received All-GLIAC accolades for the 2006 campaign
Smilanich received first-team conference kudos while Unsworth was a second team choice this campaign. Eleven players each were named to both the first and second teams in balloting by the league's nine member head coaches.
Grand Valley State's Katy Tafler was chosen as the GLIAC's Offensive Player of the Year while Finella Annand of Mercyhurst picked up GLIAC Defensive Player of the Year Award laurels. Katie Johnson of GVSU was honored as the league's freshman of the year and Northern Michigan head coach Matt Granstrand claimed GLIAC Coach of the Year Award kudos.
The 5-6 Smilanich totaled a team-high 39 points and 18 goals this season. Her 39 total points this year represented the program's top seasonal performance in school history while her 18 goals this year also ranked as the school's top single-season performance ever. Smilanich's 67 career points and 27 total goals are both listed second all-time on Ferris' career performers list.
Her best performance this campaign came when she netted four goals, all of which came in the second period of play, in the Bulldogs' 7-5 home-opening win over Wheeling Jesuit (W.Va.) at the FSU Varsity Soccer Field in Big Rapids, Mich. She finished tied for second place in goals (1.00 gpg) and third overall in points (2.17 ppg) among the GLIAC's overall leaders this campaign.
Last season (2005), Smilanich placed fifth among the squad's leaders with 14 total points on two goals and team-high 10 assists. Her 10 assists a year ago was the Bulldogs' second-highest seasonal figure in school history. As a freshman in 2004, Smilanich compiled Ferris' 10th-best single-season goal scoring effort with seven markers.
Unsworth is listed fourth in both points (30) and goals (12) among the school's single-season leaders based off her efforts this season. Her six assists this campaign ranks fifth on Ferris' single-season chart.

With more pressing needs on their roster, it was a bit of a surprise to see the Titans take OT Taylor Lewan with their first pick. That's not to suggest that Lewan lacks from talent as he's likely to take over one of the starting tackles spots right away.
Second round pick RB Bishop Sankey will be given the first shot at replacing Chris Johnson and DT DaQuan Jones adds talent to the Titans defensive line.
QB Zach Mettenberger, who slipped to Round 6, could be a huge steal.
Grade the Titans draft below and then give us your comments.
1. Taylor Lewan - (OT, Michigan)
2. Bishop Sankey - (RB, Washington)

Monika's Mystery Movie: Bad News Bears
Congrats going out to Yolanda – today's winner of Monika's Mystery Movie!
The Bad News Bears – premiered back in 1976 – can you believe that? Starring the late Walter Matthau and Tatum O'Neal…
Great movie – and there was nothing PC about kids cussing, smoking and doing all sorts of crazy things. It's kinda weird.

Another art house project receiving a wider release in the run-up to the Academy Awards, "Nebraska" is a funny, emotionally engaging film with a simple story about aging parents and forgotten dreams, themes most of us can relate to.
"Nebraska" is deceptively simple, both in story and in the sparse directing style Alexander Payne ("The Descendents") uses to bring that story to the screen. What isn't simple is the acting, led by Bruce Dern ("Big Love") in a performance that was just nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor.
This is not a film for those looking for action or quick story motions, but unlike "Inside Llewyn Davis," which I also reviewed this week, "Nebraska" does have a distinct narrative arc with a conclusion that is both realistic and satisfying.
"Nebraska," like many art house features, isn't for everyone, but is a film that–despite being in black and white and lacking much action except for one sucker punch–is funny, compelling and entirely relatable.
The film is rated R for some language.

Kings was gone all weekend til about 5.30pm Sunday when he arrived home from the airport and came over to pick us up with the dog at nearby Cyberport. Y'know, I kinda held it together even when I didn't really, but I gotta admit at least half the time I really hate bringing the two kids out on my own on a Sunday. But well there are activities where other "single mums" bring their kids and they are awesome. Like this one at Cyberport below –
The tires were a little big and kept slipping off but Rockstar had a lot of fun with this one (yes the girl is much older and he got totally bowled over once, but he was very, very proud of his dodging!)…
So anyway when Kings finally lands and texts "Let's go up to the Peak anyway" (our family ritual of olde, but it's way too late for us to do that now because Rockstar only eats prime salmon steak before dark; Sunday dinner is reserved for a HKD 168 cheese crust Pepperoni pizza) I reply,"No, but let's go buy lanterns and moon cakes." Cos that's a regular family thing to do right?
Except when I break this to Rockstar, the lanterns are fine but, "Do I have to eat moon cake? I don't even eat that much cake." So then we just got the lanterns.
(During which Rockstar had a brief fling with a slinky, before rightly observing we don't have stairs.)
(Yes, I'm wearing leather sweatpants. And that's a Rock n Roll skull-in-gilt-frame tee. Yes Rockstar is deliberately looking away because we asked him to smile for the camera.)
(And then despite all the protestations of choosing a traditional lantern "with the real candles," he goes with an furry red Angry Bird. Little Miss on the other hand loved the traditional paper rabbit and after going up and down the street settled on….. the same traditional paper rabbit I could easily have gotten at Park n Shop. Albeit for HKD 59. We got it here for HKD 30. Last of the big spenders.
And, this year……. Drrum roll please……
Yes, JD came with! I wanted to let her out of the car, Kings said no, fortunately we went with no because at least several shop owners had cats. JD hates cats. Not as in Gonna Make Me A Cat-hide Rug For The Fireplace, more like Get Me Away From The Embodiment Of Sheer Evil. She uh, met some mean stray cats as a puppy. Our pastor once mentioned how they train baby elephants by tethering them to trees and when they grow up the elephants don't think "It's a tree. I'm an elephant. <walks away>" so Yeah, Childhood Matters. Show JD a cat and she might show you a border collie climbing a tree. (Come to think of it, I know at least several dogs offhand who are scared of cats. It's a myth you always need to protect the cats.)
And yeah we drove up and down these few shops so JD could see us while we lantern-shopped. And somehow we still ended up with the Park n Shop Rabbit and the Angry Bird – tradition lantern shopping MAJOR FAIL.
And then Little Miss discovered…….
Grubs/Mushrooms/Interesting Green Shapes To Peel Off And Fling About! (No, not really, but there was an arch-backed kitten we had to keep her away from)…
And then…
This was the only picture I managed to take as they were clearing up the offerings outside – there were actually two paper cars for burning there, often the place where they sell the lanterns (and where lotsa "foreign locals" come to lantern shop) also boasts chinese medicinal shops (Rockstar had a grave moment when he noticed dried seahorses in one because I think he had a reader from school last year about conservation and not buying dried seahorses) and the shops that sell joss sticks and other paper offerings. It's the paper offerings that also fascinate me each year – one year I saw LV handbags, this year for the first time I realized that in the cars are…… chauffeurs. Well I don't know what else to say about that, just Wow There Are Even Chauffeurs In Those Cars….
And that……. was Sunday.

Civil Rights Groups Seek Probe Into Police Shooting Of New Bedford Teen
Representatives of several civil rights organizations will hold a news conference in New Bedford on Monday to discuss the Police shooting last May of 15 year old Malcom Gracia. Police say the shooting came after Gracia had stabbled a Police detective multiple times, near Kempton and Cedar streets. Juan Cofield of the NAACP New England Area Conference says his organization and others reviewed the District Attorney's report of the shooting, and found it lacking…..
Police say Garcia was stopped by members of the Police Department's Gang Unit because they witnessed him exchange a possible gang-related handshake on surveillance video.. D-A Sam Sutter ruled the shooting was "justified." Cofield declined to say what action the groups will take, but the Standard Times is reporting the civil rights organizations plan to ask Attorney General Martha Coakley to conduct a formal criminal inquiry.

Finnish adoptee finds biological mom in Taiwan
CNA Monday, May 5, 2014, 12:12 am TWN
PARIS -- After six years of searching from his home in Finland, Conny Wiik found his birth mother in Taiwan just ahead of Mother's Day.
His "whole life is taking another turn," said Wiik, when reacting to the news. He is "very glad and excited," he told CNA from Nykarleby, a town with a population of some 7,500 residents on Finland's western coast.
He may head to Taiwan to meet his mother in person as early as this autumn, Wiik added.
Wiik, now a father of four and owner of a fox farm, was born in Taiwan in 1980 and given the name Ho Liu Ming-feng before being adopted as a toddler by a Finnish family.
His birth certificate identifies his birth mother but lists his father as "unknown."
Wiik's search for answers has come to a happy ending thanks to the dedication of police officers and his birth mother's positive response.
The good news also came after CNA reported Wiik's story in February and helped him get in touch with Taiwan's National Police Agency.
He provided some photos, including some of him as a baby boy and one of a woman carrying a baby on her back, which the police used to identify a resident of Guishan Township in the northern county of Taoyuan.
Through DNA testing, she was confirmed to be Wiik's biological mother.
The picture was very telling, said Chung Yu-tien, the officer responsible for the search, because it shows a mole on one side of the mother's mouth.
"Heaven helps those who help themselves," Chung said, noting that the process is not always so smooth and straightforward.
The photo helped, but the key was the mother's willingness to undergo a DNA test and meet with her long separated son, Chung said.
During his interview with CNA early this year in Vaasa, a west coast city about 100 kilometers south of his home, Wiik said he first thought to start searching for his biological mother six years ago when his daughter was born. At the time, he realized she was the only person he knew who is related to him by blood.
However, the topic of adoption is taboo in his adopted family, he said, especially since his Finnish mother worries he might move back to Taiwan after finding his biological family.
Wiik's adoption papers are all legitimate, but that is not the case for the 60-or-so Taiwanese children illegally sold for profit and trafficked abroad in the early 1980s to Australia, Finland, Sweden and the United States. The trafficking ring was busted in 1982, but many of the children, now adults, have only recently begun to look for their birth parents.
Along with Wiik, two naturalized Finnish women born of Taiwanese parents told CNA they were also trying to find their roots in Taiwan.
Asked Sunday if Taiwan would help adoptees abroad in the search for their biological parents, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that officials abroad, such as the representative office in Finland, will help establish communications with agencies in Taiwan.

Bakemonogatari Video Not Supported-XP
Finding this one strange.
Downloaded the Xvid/AVi version. Plays fine on my XP Pro PC with Media Player Classic, but when I put it on the thumb drive and run it through my Philips and
Panny Plasma, I get "video not supported"
So I run it through AVI ReComp, same results.
Ran it through All to Avi and same results.
Did you have the complete K-lite of CCP codec pack installed? When you have only MPC it won't play this video files because there is no codec. Please install a complete codec pack or try FFDshow.
Unless I missed something you're saying your Phillips device won't play the file but your PC does? I'm guessing this is some kind of hardware player like a DVD recorder or player?
First, unless the Phillips supports DivX it isn't going to play any XviD files at all. (There are a few proprietary devices that support XviD natively, but they're not that common.) Even if it does support DivX, it still may not support XviD because of versioning differences. (The PS3 supports some, but not all, XviD encodes for instance.) If you can save the file to DivX itself, and the player supports it, try that.
Finally the resolution of the file might be greater than the player supports. Many players won't support DivX files with resolutions beyond 720x480, the DVD standard. So a 1280x720 file won't ever play, but one that is scaled to 704x400 might.

Coroner Confirms 4 Deaths as Murder-Suicide
Richland County Coroner Gary Watts has confirmed that the shooting deaths of four family members whose bodies were found at their home near Irmo on Wednesday is a murder-suicide.
The coroner identifies the man who fired the shots as 38-year-old Sheddrick Miller.
The victims include his wife, 28-year-old Kia Miller, and their two children, 3-year-old Kyler and 1-year-old Syrai.
Watts says all died from gunshot wounds to the head.
The time and date of the deaths and other circumstances surrounding the shootings are still under investigation.
The Sheriff's Department says the four bodies were found at the family home in the Riverwalk subdivision by the father's mother when she went to check on the household after she had not heard from her son for a couple days.
A gun was found near the father's body.

1st I have to agree with the above 2 ladies, the only way to completely get rid of heat damage is by cutting it off.
I've transitioned from heat damage before, I spent a year transitioning, until I cut off all the damaged hair (which was everything but 2"). I no longer put ANY heat on my hair for any reason.
2nd once you get rid of the heat damage you'll be better at assessing your hair patterns/structure. It'll make caring for your hair easier.
3rd I recently purchased 'the science of black hair' this is a GREAT book to help you understand & grow healthy hair. I wish I had this book when I 1st went natural!
4th sounds like you're putting alot of protein in your hair. I have course, low porosity hair that does NOT like much protein. The book goes into detail with determining all this stuff. Best $25 I spent in the last few months.
5th anemia may stunt hair growth & cause thinning hair since the scalp and hair follicles aren't getting as much nutrients/oxygen ad needed (your body will distribute to the most important organs... And unfortunately, kidneys/brain/etc>>hair/nails.
Srry for the loooong reply

Engine Squeak :(
There is a squeak that sounds like it is at-par with engine speed. It's a 355 (350 bored .030 over), with mild performance additions (I can explain if necessary), and a 2speed powerglide trans, in a 67 Impala 4dr. I was told that it might be the flywheel but I thought I tightened the bolts on damn good. Any ideas? Thanks a million, she's my daily driver and it's driving me crazy!!!!
Get a 2ft piece of tubing small enough to fit in your ear to localize the sound.
Your flywheel may be a bit warped and rubbing on something.
Hmmm, I shall check that tommorow!! If I'm in drive with the brake on, and elevate the idle by pressing the gas slightly, it will go away
flexplate should be torqued down btw.
not just wrenched down.
Are you sure it not a glazed fan belt?
It definately wasn't a fan belt, and wasn't flywheel either :( but I guess that's a good thing! It was my transmission sifter linkage. There's a part attached to the transmission that's spring loaded, and the shifter linkage was squeaking against the trans, so I cut a thin square out of a plastic coffee tin lid and slid it between. Squeak= no more :")

Hi Guys,
I am interested in adding a client back end to a SEO services website.
Basically so the client can login and see the progress of there package, view reports with fancy graphs, and view by graph the ranking over time of there desired keywords.
I have no idea where to begin. Has anybody had any experience with this?
I want a self hosted solution that integrates easily into a website.
Thanks in advance.
I was going to suggest something like BusinessCatalyst, but that's not self hosted. But I also wonder if something as simple as Google Analytics is all you need? You just sign up for free and paste a bit of code into your pages. It gives you all kinds of stats on what pages are being visited, what keywords are working etc.
If that's not enough, then there are lots of good CMSes out there that may do what you require—even if some kind of add-on is required.
Hi Ralph, I already use Google Analytics for my own pages and information. However I would like to create a backend system that my clients could log in to and see the progress of there orders with us, we can send them reports, and so on. More of a CRM system built with the web designer/seo firm in mind.
I would recommend looking into some CMSs first. Though if you go the CMS route you will need to rebuild the existing sites. The other route is custom programming which would be very difficult task to take on and get right without server-side and programming knowledge. Creating admin UIs fom scratch from is probably one of the most difficult tasks when it comes to web programming…
Thanks Ralph and Oddz.
I think I will handball this job to someone with a bit more experience than me.
If you do end up coding it yourself fully, you should try to get someone with a bit of experience look through the code for security flaws / holes, especially if the clients sensitive data (full name, address etc) is being stored.
I've created a few back-ends and I based them on a CMS - Drupal in PHP and Umbraco in ASP.NET. It depends on how "big" your backend will be, is it just a single page with a data-form or the like? If so then a CMS is likely to be overkill and a waste of resources.

Had One Too Many? Hire A Designated Driver Using This New App
StearClear provides a safe alternative solution to having to leave your car overnight when over the legal limit.
StearClear addresses the problem of solo-drivers when they've had one too many alcoholic drinks. Instead of having to abandon the car overnight and pick it up the next day, the user can simply call for a designated driver using the mobile app.
Unlike peer-to-peer car-sharing programs that offer similar services, StearClear lets local entrepreneurs buy into the program. For example, someone could pay StearClear $30,000 to buy a zipcodes that would cover around 70,000 people. Franchise owners get access to the turnkey solution and keep 80% of the revenue generated.
StearClear has already received a total of $1.1 million in funding and did a soft-launch in July that saw 1,500 new customer registrations, averaging about 6-10 rides per week per franchise. The service for the intoxicated user costs a flat-rate of $20 plus $2 per mile. The app plans for a hard-launch in October across areas in the U.S.

"Really loved the easily personalized cards and the envelopes were good quality as well. My order arrived well before the promised date - an added bonus."
"As usual with Tinyprints, the quality of this card is exceptional. I was extremely happy with it and the turn around time was unbelievable. I ordered on a Sunday and it was on my doorstep on Tuesday. I ordered the blue version with the traditional rectangle shape and the solid blue back with three captioned pics. It looks fantastic! Almost too good to be true for the price, but that's why I love this company and order from them regularly. Also, I can't say enough about the customer service at Tinyprints. From my experience, It is one of the best companies for putting the customer first and making sure you are satisfied. I have been a customers for years and anytime I have had a problem with a finished product, the issue is resolved and a replacement immediately sent. And...they don't send my call out of the country and keep me on the phone for hours haggling over it. They are courteous, professional and efficient."
"I loved the quality of the cards, this is my second order, and will be placing another for my daughter's graduation invitations. The service is quick and fast and the pictures come as clear as submitted. I just love this company. I will recommend them to all my family and friends."
"Absolutely stunning... always so very happy w/ Tiny Prints. I will definitely buy again and again. Design tool is quick and easy. Love!!!!"
"The standard weight paper was nice and heavy and the colors were vivid. The regular delivery arrived before the expected date I am reordering more today! Will definately use tiny prints for my son's engagement party invitations!"

It's a 480p DarkChip2. They were demonstrating it in an "alcove" type living room with uncontrolled ambient light reflecting from the sides. It was projecting onto sheetrock and looked fantastic!
|The new BenQ PE7700 looked pretty bad. Lots of video noise, some contrast problems and other issues. It would have to be A LOT cheaper than the above competitors, IMHO, to be in the running. It's possible, of course, their own theater and set up was having problems, but on a variety of material, it really didn't look that great.
|Originally posted by gobrigavitch
I saw a release date of March for the Toshiba. Is there any indication of a release date for the BENQ. Also did anyone actually see the Benq in action. I'm wondering whether it will be any improvement over the 8700+. I'm thinking the 8700+ will likely drop in price substantially prior to the release of the 7700. Either way I'm guessing we'll be able to get 720p dlp for <3500$ (and hopefully <3000$) very soon.
The shootout of these 3 projectors (4 if you count the 8700) should be one of the most anticipated ever.

Here is the deal on the approach: After casually walking from your car on nice worn dirt trail to the hollow man area, proceed to roll your ankle 20 times as you thrutch and fall your way up the talus jungle. Once you've done this for about 200 yards at a steep angle, enter the gully where thick bushes, wet moss, and more talus await you. Lieback the wet chockstone crack with your slick muddy shoes on smooth quarzite with death rocks below you, then mantle onto the top where, you guessed it, more loose talus awaits you. Then find a comfy belay spot among the amazon rainforest of thistles that are growing out horizontally from the 50 degree sloping loose dirt gully below the climb. Enjoy the climbing, then get excited to either rap the small insecure tree or downclimb the wet chimney! Note: you will kill someone if you don't have a helmet.
Moral of the story: a year from now, when thinking about this experience, the only thing you won't remember is the quality climbing.

I'm surprised to see this comment from Spencer.
From your comments on here it seems like you've been getting after it with a general disregard for stars/ratings/etc and plain crushing wherever you go.
The approach blows dongs for sure but the climbing certainly beats the pile. I'd probably go in from Standard Ridge if I went back up there.
EDIT: some serious work went into the approach. It still blows dongs but is a bit more tolerable. Went up there in flip flops after forgetting my approach shoes and I didn't die.

Approach is not that bad, takes about 20 minutes to get to the routes prior to the chockstone, and maybe another 5 to scramble up to the others. For the main talus slope stay RIGHT in the larger and more consolidated talus, AVOIDING obvious worn switchbacks in the middle (slippery and sketchy scree). About halfway up the slope there is a large pine that you can go around on the right. Switchbacks marked with cairns and logs start here and continue up to the wall. Belays are fine for the lower routes, and above the chockstone is still manageable.
Many other popular approaches feel worse than this one, its over quick and the rock is great! I've done it in 10 minutes to Eternal Flow once dialed in.

HARRISONBURG, Va., April 18, 2010 -- In a showdown of the two teams leading the Colonial Athletic Association women's lacrosse standings, 10th-ranked James Madison downed No. 16 Hofstra 14-8 Sunday afternoon at the JMU Lacrosse Complex.
The Dukes improved to 11-2 overall and 4-0 in league play as JMU posted its fourth consecutive win.
Hofstra dropped to 9-4 overall and 3-1 in CAA competition as the Pride saw its three-game winning streak end.
JMU never trailed in the match, although the contest was tied at 2-2 at 18:17 and at 4-4 at the 9:59 mark after Hofstra controlled five of the game's first seven draws.
However, the Dukes controlled the final seven draws of the half and took advantage of holding possession of the ball to build a 9-4 lead. The Dukes maintained possession from Hofstra's tying fourth goal at 9:59 until JMU lost the ball on a turnover with 3:08 left.
In a span of 3:02 JMU scored on five of six shot attempts. The first goal came from junior Caitlin Sullivan (Kennesaw, Ga./Harrison) off a pass from sophomore Monica Zabel (Ellicott City, Md./Mt. Hebron) at 6:44. The after Zabel controlled the ensuing draw, sophomore Ashley Kimener (Oakton, Va./Oakton) netted an unassisted score at 6:16.
The next draw went to sophomore Annie Brophy (Berwyn, Pa./Archbishop Carroll), and her pass to Zabel resulted in a Zabel goal and a 7-4 JMU lead at 4:30.
Zabel controlled the following draw, and redshirt freshman Casey Ancarrow (Jarrettsville, Md./John Carroll) fed a pass to redshirt senior Kim Griffin (Jarrettsville, Md./North Harford), whose goal at 3:42 put the Dukes up 9-4.
Hofstra closed to 9-5 at intermission after senior Liz Falco (Yorktown Heights, N.Y./Yorktown) scored with just five seconds remaining. The Pride then opened the second period by outscoring JMU 3-1 and closed the margin to 10-8 on a goal by junior Stephanie Rice (Skaneateles, N.Y./Skaneateles) at 22:24.
That, however, was Hofstra's last goal. JMU called timeout after the Pride scored its eighth goal, and the Dukes scored four times on eight shots during the final 19:53.
Hofstra had several scoring threats with the score still close. A shot by senior Corrine Gandolfi (Smithtown, N.Y./Northport) at 20:32 was saved by senior goalkeeper Morgan Kelly (Annapolis, Md./St. Mary's), and an attempt by junior Jennalee Trombley (Penn Yan, N.Y./Penn Yan Academy) at 20:10 hit the post. With JMU ahead 11-8, Kelly stopped a shot by freshman Jill Maier (Honeoye Falls, N.Y./Honeoye Falls-Lima) at 19:04.
