Student-Athlete Advisory Committee caps off a successful yearJune 1, 2011
BC triples Make-A-Wish donation efforts and fundraising efforts
Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College Student-Athlete Advisory Committee capped off an outstanding 2010-2011 season by achieving all of their goals set for the past academic year, including tripling their fundraising efforts and their gifts to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The Tornados S.A.A.C. raised $2,100 this past year for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and helped the South Atlantic Conference break the $20,000 mark for the first time in conference history. Brevard raised most of the money through t-shirt sales at the Homecoming Game, as well as various fundraisers held throughout the year.
"It has been a real joy to be able to work with such a diligent group this year. They were outstanding and were very focused on exceeding last year's goal and did so by tripling their Make-A-Wish totals from the previous year," said Coach Britne Stubbs, Senior Women's Administrator. "We had great leadership and work ethic from all of the members this year and plan to continue that on a yearly basis."
The Tornados also participated in Buddy Readings at several local elementary schools in Transylvania County. Members from the Brevard College Women's Soccer, Women's Basketball, Baseball, Softball, Men's Basketball and Men's and Women's Tennis teams volunteered at Pisgah Elementary School, Brevard Elementary School and Rosman Elementary School from November until May and are in the process of making plans to be back in the schools for the 2011-2012 year.
The S.A.A.C. also hosted an End of the Year cookout on the banks of King's Creek on the campus of Brevard College for the graduating senior student-athletes, as well as the faculty and staff of BC.
"With the help of the coaches and cooperation of their athletes we were able to reach out and make an impact in the community. I was pleased with how each member took on the responsibility to be leaders for their teams keeping them updated and involved with what the SAAC discussed," commented Drew Schauss, BC S.A.A.C. President for the 2010-2011 year. "I enjoyed being President this year, but we could not have had the success we had without Coach Stubbs and Coach Shug. I am grateful for the opportunity and would like to continue to try and build a strong relationship between the athletic and academic departments."
They also hosted the "Coffee Cart" on two occasions during the year and Schauss and Vice President Candice Fritz also were able to attend the annual South Atlantic Conference S.A.A.C. meeting held at Mars Hill College.
The BC S.A.A.C. is in its sixth year at Brevard College and is comprised of leaders from all 18 athletic teams.

The Long Beach State women's basketball team, which has had a week off since a comeback win over Cal State Fullerton, hopes that several days of steady work in the gym have cured its recent shooting issues.
The 49ers (10-8, 3-3 Big West) host UC Irvine at 1 p.m. today.
After being fairly consistent most of the season, the 49ers have become erratic from the field in the last six games, especially from 3-point range.
In four of the last six games, all Big West contests, the 49ers shot 32 percent or lower from the field. In the same six games, they were less-than-sharpshooters from the 3-point line, going 3 for 16 versus Cal State Fullerton, 4 for 29 against UC Riverside, 1 for 24 at Hawaii, 5 for 15 against Cal State Northridge, 3 for 12 against UCSanta Barbara and 4 for 15 against Cal Poly.
"I've asked myself at times lately if the 3 is hurting us," LBSU head coach Jody Wynn said. "I still think it is a strength of this team, but it hasn't been a strong point of late.
"We have several players we're confident of from the 3-point line, but they've been struggling as a group. I don't want to tell them to not shoot because I think it's a big part of our success."
Lauren Spargo hit two 3s down the stretch against Fullerton during a 15-1 run that overcame a Titans lead.
"Lauren is always in the gym," Wynn said. "She went back out to shoot after the loss to UCR. She puts up 500 3-pointers in practice a day. So her numbers don't show you how good she really is."
The 49ers hit the road for games at UC Davis and Pacific next week.
Men's volleyball item
The seventh-ranked Long Beach State men's volleyball team came up just short in a five-set thriller at No. 3 UC Irvine. The Anteaters won 23-25, 25-19, 20-25, 25-16, 15-13.
LBSU (5-3, 3-2 MPSF) saw its three-match win streak come to an end and suffered its seventh-straight loss to UC Irvine (6-3, 3-3).
Junior Taylor Crabb led the 49ers with 14 kills.
Dirtbags alumni game
Weather permitting, the Dirtbags will hold their annual alumni game at 11 a.m. today at Blair Field, followed at 2 p.m. with an intrasquad game for the 2013 squad.
Several veterans of the 49ers era of Long Beach baseball will play in the alumni game as well as a handful of players who have been part of the program since 1989.
It's the first chance to see the 2013 team that opens the season Feb. 15-17 with a three-game series at Vanderbilt before returning for the home openers Feb. 19-20 against defending national champion Arizona.
On campus
The women's tennis team's Big West match at Cal State Fullerton on Friday was scrubbed because of rain. It has been reset for Thursday. The 49ers will host UC Riverside at noon today. ... Senior Klaudia Malenovska was selected as the Big West Player of the Week for women's tennis for her play last weekend, going 5-1 in singles matches and 3-0 in doubles. ... The track and field team will send a team of eight middle distance and distance runners today at the season-opening UW Invitational in Seattle. The meet will be at Dempsey Indoor on the campus of the university. Long Beach State has four women entered in Meghan Foley (800 meters), Rosa Del Toro (3,000), Nina Moore (3,000) and Michelle Thompson (3,000). The 49ers also entered four men - Gabe Hilbert (800), Matt Maldonado (mile), Jake Dawson (3,000) and Chris Enriquez (3,000).

The name Lambretta is legendary in scooter circles, with its heritage of innovation and style dating back to 1922. That is when Ferdinando Innocenti moved to Rome from his native Pescia to make the motorized two-wheelers he named Lambrettas, after the small river Lambro. Innocenti revolutionized the industry with a new feature: steel tubing rather than solid bars as a way to create stronger and lighter frames. That has since become standard in the industry Innocenti moved his operation to Milan, which had become the industrial center of Italy, to expand his operation. The Milan operation employed about 6,000 workers during the 1930s.
When war came to Europe, the factory switched to producing military vehicles. With the coming of peace in 1945, the factory resumed production of what would become known as motor scooters, low-cost, no-frills motorized transportation for the working class. Production boomed. Factories producing Lambretta designs sprung up in Spain, India, Argentina, Brazil and Chile.
Lambretta battled with Vespa for the title of "the iconic scooter" in the 1950s and 1960s, when both models became the vehicles of choice for English hipsters. The character Jimmy from the influential scooter movie "Quadrophenia (The Who)" rode a Lambretta Li 150 Series III.
But success was not to last. Compact cars were flooding the market and cutting into the sale of scooters. Innocenti began making cars for BMC and eventually sold the company to the carmaker. The scooter plant closed in 1972 and was sold to Scooters India Ltd., which began production of its own line of two-wheelers two years later. That brand no longer makes scooters and now only makes Lambro three-wheelers.
The Innocenti brand name is owned by the Fiat arm of Chrysler, which showcased its scooters in 2010 at the 125 Grand Prix. These single-cylinder, "twist and go" scooters are assembled in Taiwan, but their frame and side panels are crafted in Italy.

I recently gone through of some articles that are saying Social Bookmarking and Directories are useless.
Please let me know If I am wrong!
i dont think they are useless
just dont rely on them completely
A lot of people think that if they register website or blog in 2 directories and 1 bookmark - they will have 500 visits per day =)
In case of directories - always double check their alexa and PR since you don't want to have low rank inbound links. It will not do good for you.
I don't think so, dofollow social bookmarking sites and seo friendly directories are still effective for website
Good point! Articles/webpages/etc can be promoted through social bookmarks and directories. I usually do that when I do blog posting. Sometimes, I'd wait for some days before I bookmark, just to put intervals between backlinking activities.
No not really. Google still respects social bookmarking sites and directories. If they provide good quality. Google knows these sites are used to build back links in unnatural amounts that a normal site can get in a day. Not ranking them all is like throwing the baby out with the bath water. But they are not as potent as they used to be today.
That's the key. Directories like Dmoz that hand-pick which sites they want to include, and reject any that they don't think are good enough, are still valued by search engines. On the other hand, directories that accept any links that people throw at them have no quality control at all, and so all that tells the search engines is that here's a site that is trying to promote itself ... not useful at all.
How it is possible that social bookmarking & directories are useless, social bookmarking & directory submission is the main part of seo, it never be useless.
Maybe what you're doing for SEO isn't doing a lot of good...
I agree with Stevie Completely ...Don't Submit your Website to Low PR Directories because u will Zero result of that backlinks ...try to Submit to High PR Directories of PR3 or 3+..you will definitely have some Benefit by that Backlink...this rules also Follow on Social Bookmarking Sites..!!
I think now a days SEO Expert focus on Content Marketing rather than Directory Submission or Social Bookmarking.
directories are useless, i dont believe in directories, social bookmarking play vital role for me.
Link building become very tough after Google's Penguin & Panda updates. Link building technique & process have been simultaneously changed over the couple of years. Social bookmarking is probably the powerful techniques to draw of the community, friends and other enormous traffic sent to the website automatically. Most social bookmarking sites provide the back-links and helps in quick indexing of the the website. It is very important and useful for Search engine optimization, it not only bring the traffic and backlinks but it also make the content crawling.Directory submission is also helpful in generating back links. But we have to concern the backlinks are come to the relevant & good page rank sites.
Nowadays, Link building is not all about number of links; it's all about number of quality links and especially after the release of penguin 2.0 update. Social bookmarking is one of the important link- building technique and one of the best ways to get fast indexed because crawler crawl's bookmarks at much faster rate than any other. Directory submissions help a website in establishing a brand over the internet, but both social bookmarking and Directory should be done on highly relevant and quality sites with some proportion not in bulk.
Actually Social Bookmarking and Directories are not totally useless. But doing social bookmaking and directory submission in bulk or in low quality websites are useless. Always submit in high quality social bookmarking and directories websites. Also don't just rely only on Social bookmarking and directory submission. Also use other seo techniques as articles, blog posts, forums, press release, guest post, videos to promote your website.
For me, social bookmarking is useless.BUT Web directories are good and bring traffic.
The problem is that the traffic on them is pretty worthwhile.
Well, social bookmarking should not be your only strategy of promotion. If you post interesting, informative things - users will enjoy it. Just do not forget to do other SEO steps. Social bookmarking is a supportive feature, not a single solution for your promotion.
Social bookmarking and directories are not useless if they are good quality. But now there are tons of low quality directories etc, made overnight just for SEO. Those are indeed useless.
I would have to agree. Tons of gigs on Fiverr that will actually deliver such backlinks, and from my own personal experience, they offer little value in terms of helping your site rank.
No, social bookmarking and directories are not useless at all. If we submit our websites in some high pr websites than it will be more valuable than submitting in large number of low pr (0 and 1) social bookmarking and directories. You have research and verify before submitting your website to various social bookmarking and directory websites.

IL notes: Lavarnway stressing defense
PawSox backstop feels he's close to an 'offensive explosion'
By John Wagner / Special to MLB.com | May 7, 2012 6:34 AM ET
The young catcher belted 34 home runs across three levels and earned a trip to the Major Leagues in just his third full professional season.
"Last season was a whirlwind," Lavarnway said. "I started in Double-A, a place I was familiar with, and got hot. I got to Triple-A sooner than I could have hoped.
"I took what I had learned about myself as a hitter in years past and used it to my advantage to stay hot for a long period of time."
This season, the 24-year-old's numbers are solid but unspectacular. He's hitting .247 with two homers and 23 RBIs in Pawtucket's first 23 games.
But Red Sox manager Arnie Beyeler said he isn't worried that Lavarnway's offensive numbers aren't on pace to match last year's production. The reason Lavarnway, who hit .295 with 18 homers and 55 RBIs in only 61 games with the PawSox a year ago, has slowed offensively is that his workload defensively has increased dramatically in 2012.
"He's learning how to catch five or six days a week," Beyeler explained. "He's a really hard-working kid, so one of the things he's learning is to be 'off' when he gets an off day.
"In the past, he worked harder on the days he wasn't playing. Now he's learning how to gear back and pace himself through the daily rigors of being a catcher. And he has done a great job with that."
Lavarnway admitted that it is an adjustment to catching every day and the former Yale standout said he is happy with the improvements to his defense.
"I'm happy with the way I'm throwing out runners, and I feel I'm blocking and receiving the ball really well," he said. "I've gotten a lot of good feedback from my pitching staff, coaches and umpires."
Defensively, the 6-foot-4, 225-pounder has thrown out 35 percent of would-be basestealers to rank fourth in the league in that category. He also has just one passed ball and has not committed an error in helping PawSox pitchers post a solid 3.48 ERA.
Lavarnway said he's happy with the opportunity to be Pawtucket's everyday backstop.
"Every day, I feel I can have a positive effect on the game," he said. "Even if I don't have any hits in a game, I still know I can have a positive effect on the game.
"I know my first responsibility is to have a positive influence defensively, and anything I add with my bat is a plus."
And the offense? Lavarnway, a career .283 hitter in the Minor Leagues, is confident he will be productive again soon.
"Offensively, I know I'm not quite right yet," he said. "But I'm feeling some things and I feel that I'm getting closer to an offensive explosion."
MVP again?: Charlotte 1B/DH Dan Johnson has been hot recently, hitting .303 with five homers, 14 RBIs and nine runs scored in his last 10 games. On the season, the 2010 IL MVP with Durham is batting .292 with six homers and 24 RBIs. Johnson ranks fourth in the league in RBIs and is tied for the league lead with 26 walks, one of the big reasons he's second with a .462 on-base percentage.
He said it: "I told [Indianapolis manager Dean Treanor], 'I'm not going anywhere. I'm not coming out.' He said, 'Yeah, you are,' and was pretty serious about it. He said, 'This isn't about today, it's about years from now. We have to protect you and your arm.'" -- Indianapolis LHP Justin Wilson to the Indianapolis Star. Treanor came out to remove Wilson from the April 29 game against Durham, even though Wilson had a no-hitter going through 7 1/3 innings. Jose Diaz recorded the final two outs in the eighth and Doug Slaten set the Bulls down in order in the ninth to finish the Tribe's first no-hitter since RHP Ian Snell turned the trick against Norfolk on May 15, 2005.
He said it, Part II: "I knew there wasn't going to be anything good [on the video of my April 25 start]. I really couldn't pinpoint what happened that day, so I just tried to forget about that one. Besides, usually if it's something mechanical, I feel it vs. seeing it on video." -- Lehigh Valley RHP Scott Elarton to The (Allentown) Morning Call. Elarton surrendered 10 hits and eight runs over 3 2/3 innings in that start against Buffalo but has been impressive the rest of the season, giving up 20 hits and two earned runs over 28 innings. On the season, he's 3-1 with a 2.84 ERA.

He never meant to be a bad boy. He never wanted to fight, but if it's to protect his mum, he'll do anything for her. This warrior has a deep dark secret and is vulnerable when he's around her. She's the one who unlocks it all. (Hi, it's Maya. I am the same author of this story from Wattpad, so don't think I stole this story, because I am the same person who had posted this on Wattpad.

Bryson, Bill. At Home
If you're a regular reader, you probably know I'm a Bryson fan. Still, I was hesitant to pick up his latest because the description made it sound a tad boring. Recently, when I saw the audio edition available, I picked it up just to see. I'm glad I did!
Bryson takes us on a tour of his old house, a parsonage in England, and gives us a history of domestic life as we follow along. For instance, a tour of the scullery brings us to a discussion of the lives of servants in the 1800s, complete with gossip of the day. A discussion of the word "hall" brings us to the history of medieval halls where lord of the manor and servants coexisted in one large room out of the elements and near the fire. As it turns out, At Home is a fascinating look at history complete with a touch of Bryson's trademark wit. If you've ever read Simon Winchester (Krakatoa), you might see a glimpse of the constructs Winchester employs to connect his topics, which on the surface often seem unrelated.
Bryson narrates his own CD in his slightly British accent, making it a pleasure to listen to.

Almost two years to the day, a new article about Dr. Kahaleh and pCLE technology.
Deep Inside the Body, Tiny Mechanical Microscope Diagnoses Disease
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20 … 213250.htm
From the article:
Tiny space age probes -- those that can see inside single living cells -- are increasingly being used to diagnose illness in hard-to-reach areas of the body.
New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center's Dr. Michel Kahaleh often threads a tiny microscope into the narrow bile ducts that connect the liver to the small intestine to hunt for cancer.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved pCLE diagnostic systems for use in the bile duct and pancreas two years ago. The pCLE is a mini microscopic probe that is threaded inside a larger "spy glass" probe. The pCLE can then image blood vessels, mucosal structures and epithelial tissue in real-time, broadcasting these images on a large monitor for physicians to examine.
But the vast majority of institutions may still use a rather hit-or-miss technique to determine if a bile duct is cancerous. The traditional technique is to thread a probe inside the duct to where it is abnormally narrowed and then to use a small brush or tiny forceps to gather some cells that can then be biopsied in a lab. "But we still miss 20-30 percent of bile duct cancer or other tumors in this way, and that is unacceptable," Dr. Kahaleh says.
Eli, extremely interesting! Thanx
Thanks for that Eli.

This article is an excerpt from Chapter three in my new book The Chicken Little Agenda – Debunking Experts' Lies. This is the third of seven parts for Chapter three that will be presented here sequentially. Read part two here.
Hydro Power
Humans have captured this energy in different ways for millennia. The ancient Egyptians placed crude paddlewheels in flowing water and used this power to grind wheat into flour and for other purposes. An obvious improvement to this method is to dam a stream to generate a more powerful flow of water that can turn a larger mill or drive a faster machine.
Hydroelectric dams are a modern example of the indirect use of solar energy. Massive amounts of water are stored behind dams, and the water is then allowed to flow through turbine blades on its way to the next lower level. The turbine blades rotate large generators to produce electricity. The water below the dam is once again accumulated behind another dam, and so on, until insufficient drop remains to produce meaningful power, or until the geography no longer permits further cost-effective accumulation of water.
Even energy extracted from the rising and falling ocean tides ultimately derives at least partly from the sun. Admittedly, this connection is more tenuous, since the moon plays a significant role, and this energy is gravitational instead of solar radiation. This method of power generation exists mainly in experimental setups.
A minor non-solar power source located in certain isolated regions is geothermally generated power. In regions of high geothermal activity, it is possible to harness some of this energy by using pressurized steam or hot water from underground, or by exploiting large temperature differences created by the geothermal activity.

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Connor Wooten usually
does not get out of bed until around 8:30 on a weekday
But on Wednesday, Sept. 26, the Lindsey Wilson College
student was outside on campus more than an hour early than his
usual time. Wooten was one of 33 LWC students and staff members who
participated in See You
at the Pole. The students gathered at 7:30 a.m. CT for about 26
minutes at the flagpole on the Campus Quadrangle of the A.P. White
The two-decade-old national event is an annual gathering of
students who meet in the morning in front of their local school
flagpole for a time of prayer and reflection. See You at the Pole
is usually held on the fourth Wednesday of September.
For this year's event at LWC, Wooten said he and his
classmates prayed for this fall's political
"We prayed that our leaders will be open to the will of God
and be moldable by his hands," said Wooten, of Edmonton,
LWC student Clint Berry of Henderson, Ky., said starting a
weekday off with prayer sets the day apart from
"It really makes you refocus on your purpose -- the
commitment we have as Christians to our nation and for all the
people in our nation," Berry said.

Calif. Marijuana Regulation Bill Back on the Table
SACRAMENTO -- There may be new life to a medical marijuana regulation bill that died in the state Assembly earlier this year.
Assemblyman Tom Ammiano's AB 473 sought to create a state agency to regulate medical marijuana the same as alcohol, tobacco and firearms. The bill, which died in committee back in May, appears to have undergone changes, making it possible to bring the legislation back to life.
"The goal is to bring California to the same standard that state's like Washington and Colorado already operate with," Nate Bradley with the California Cannibis Industry Association said.
Bradley also credits recent action on the federal level, he said.
"This is also based off the statement from Eric Holder last week, and the new memo that went out which kind of gave guidelines to states that wanted to regulate marijuana on their own," Bradley said.

The formal announcement of a breakthrough on the bill has yet to be made.

I willi tell y6u a story* of how I once saved my life, entirely through having learned the deaf and dumb alphabet. There were two little boy*:who used to come and stay with Frank and me, when we were first married, -and they could neither hear nor speak. They were deaf and dumb; they could not talk except with their fingers. tnjFrJink. and I learned this foreign alphabet on purpose that we might un- Higtsiand whatnfehey said. They were quick and clever ; they could read and write, aye-, and draw and- sew, and do many other things which most of boys would make a very bad hand at. They could play at draughts! ttnd backgammon, and chess, and fox and geese, as well as any boys. They could almo-it see what we said, though they could not . hear.) with such quick, eager ey«!» dlcbuthey' vrfttch every movement of*tJa»lips. We -soon, however, got to talk as easily with our fingers as our tongues-j^and sometimes when the lads were not with us, Frank and I used to converse in that manner, when ,jv,^were alon«, for practice. It Jiajipened UDgn one occasion that he had to go to London upon import! ant business^, he.^ras to have gone,by an afternoon tram} but Jtfthething delayed h'm> B° that he was not able to leave before the night expres-i. 1 was not in very good health, and retired to my bedroom about two h'oA'fs before his departure; he promised, however, to come upafaa'^fish me good bye before he started, which would be between twelve.and one o'clock in. tne morning. The matter which had called him away was conneoted'trith the bank here, which, had just been burnt down; and my husband, it seems, though I did not know it a.t the time— so great a'secret had ho endeavored fo keep it—had many thousand pounds belonging to the concern in his Tfe^npp- rary possession, locked up in the'lrjon safe in our bed room, where the plate was kept. He was bank manager, and responsible for the whole of it. It was a cold time, and there was a fire in the room, so bright and comfortable that I was in no hurry to leave it and get into bed, but sat up looking into the fiery coals,*and thinking about all sorts of things ; upon the long journey Frank had to take, that-night, and 01 how dreary the days would seem until ho returned, and; in paifti-cular, lW*Tone- ly I shflflld feel in that great room all by myself wifieri he sHO&ld be away; for I was a dreadful coward. It was a little after eleven o'clock .jThpn I got into^bed, f>j]i I did notfTeel the least ihcrffrett to sleep even ,yj,$p. I knew-Frank wo.jjJji.be coming to wish me good bye presently; and, besides, there seemed to be all sorts of noises about the room, which my-foolish ears always used to hear whenever I was alone at night time. If a little soot fell down .the chimney it was, I thought, a great black crow at least, which would soon be flyipg;*bout the room, and settling on mypillop*- if a mouse jsqjieaked in the, wainscot, it was the creaking of seine dreadftd person's shoes coming up stall's to kill me with a carving knife ; and if the wind blew the casement, it was some person trying to. get inatthe window^ although it was two Bts-ri«)»JirgTi.' - You iflay imagine .Mien my horror, when I heard a tremendous sneeze within an inch of me, just behind the headboard of the bed and between, that and the wall, where there was considerable spaoe. I had, as usual, taken the precaution, before I put the candle ont, of looking everywhere in the room where it wa^jjuite impossible any'pei'- aon could be hid ; but the little acfi>ve into which the bed was pushed I had never so much as thought of' looking into, although it was a capital hiding place for anybody. Ever since I had been in that room, in short, I had been like the ostrich, who puts his head, in the sand, and then imagines himself in !berfeet security. I had piqued myself upon precautionary measures, that, after all, might just as well have been omittod. The only thing, as I believe, which saved my reason from departing altogether, when I first heard that terrible sound, was that my mind clung to the hope that it mighiijhe, after all, the snee*e of a oat. Fifty cats together could not make half such a disturbance, it is true,, for it was the sneeze of a man who sneezes,in spite of himself, and almost shook the house ; but the idea sustained me oyer the first shock. The next instant the wretch had sneezed again, and pushing aside the bed, which rolled on castors, I felt he was standing beside my pillow, looking at me. If he had givein only one sneeze, he might, perhaps, have believed me, as I lay quite still breathing as regular* ly as I could, and pretendiftg to be asleep; but he reasoned very"|tistly, that unices I^as dead) op, dead, Imust have been awakened by the second.. . ' You're awake, marm,' said he in a gnrffvdhss/'atiti It's no use shamming 1 •Jff you dfHjfo want a. 4ap with this life preserver,jijp$ look alive,N., f ^Pen9(* my, eves exceedingly wide rat this,'and beheld a man with crape over his face, standing by the bed side- he had a club, with two knots'upon it, in'his rigH^haad, and wiA his left he .pointed to the safe. . • Is the money there 7. said he. •The plate is,' said I, in a tremulous !Vo*ifct?, 'pray tike it;'iftf't am sure you «ne very welcome;' for he Biight-h**e everything of value opt of the, .roots, with all my heart, so long as he would save me my lifet ' The money—tho golcl—<the notes-^- are th^? there?'d«i-ied he again,(i*Ma terrible sort of whisper. 'It's all there,' cried I, although I knew nothing about it; 'all except fifteen and si* fieftce in ttfy parse, on tho dressing table yonder. There's silver mustard pots besidc, in the pantry, and a. couple of candlestictoiin the studyVorny4 they are plated, for I would »ot decrttp yott, sir, on dtif account.' ' You had better not,' observed th<* burglar, grimly, 'or it will be all the \ worse for you. , - He produced a ke/Hko that my hus-4 band Used, and approached the iron safe ; but as he did so, his guilty ear caught the sound odj, a footstep upon the staircase. ' Wpo Ts, that ?' cried he. ' 'My husband, afr,' returned I, ' but pray don't hurt him.' ' Is he not gone to town, then ?' cried the ruffian, with an oath of disappointment. ' He is going at twelve o'clock,' replied I, ' he is indeed.' ' If you. tell him, woman,1 said .the burglar, hoarsely, 'if you breathe but one word of my presence here, it will be the death doom of you both ;' he slipped into the aclovp and drew back the bed again to its place in an instant. .M.y husband entered immediately afterward and even while he was.in the room I heard the awful threat repeated once again through tbe thick Curtain behind me : ' If you do but whisper it, woman, I will klB.IPU. where .you lie. Wtfl you prom ise; hyt to tell him V ' ' I will,' said 1, solemnly : ' I prolnise not to open my lips at all about the matter.' Frank leaned over the pillow tb'kiss me, and observed how tej-rif^ed-Elooked. ' You have been frightening yourself about robbers again, I. suppose, you silly child.' !'Not I, Frank,!--returnd Ij as cheerfully as I could. ' I have a little headache ;' bat I said" with .my fingers so that he could 'plainly ' read it in the firelight: ' For God's sake hush, there la a man behind the bedstead !' Frank, was as bold as a lion, and had nerves like iron, although he was so tender hearted and kind. He only answered . '.Where is yqut; sal volatile, dearest ?' and went to the mantel piece to get.it. I thought he never could, have underr stood me, he spoke with such coolness and unconcern, until I saw his fingers ,reply as he took up the bottle. ' ikll .right, don't be afrajji,! [ And thep I was not afraid, or at least not much : for I knew I should not be left alone one instant; and I thought my Frank was a match for any two men in such a case. Only he had no weapon. ' Your fire is getting rather low, Georgey,' observed he, as he took up the poker. (Ah, he had a weapon then !) ' I must leave you a good blaze to comfort you before I go.' He poked the fire and loft the poker ,yi,but without ever taking hiseyespflfme and the bedstead. ' I wiil just ring the bell and see whether Thomas has got the portmanteau readyj.Mary,' continued he,,to the maid who answered the bell, 'send Thopnas up.' Thsn when she had gone upon that errand : ' By .Jove !—I never gave him that key. Where is it, Georgey I I have not a minute to spare. If it is in your dressing case with the rest, I'shail be an age in looking for it. Might I ask you to get out of bed. Jar an instant an.d show me where it is ?' He said with his fingers ' Jump I' and I jumped, you may be sure quick enough, and was inside the dressing room, and with the door locked, in half a second. ' Come in, Thsmas,' said Frank,! ' come in,' for Thomas wae. modestly jijEj^ltatingat the.ohamber door. 'There's some blackguard got ir$p the house and behind my becTthere. If he makes the least resistance I'll kill him with this poker.' At these words the bed was pushed slowly outward, and the Burglar with- out his crape mask, and with a face as pale as ashes, emerged from his hiding place. Frank knew him at once as having been a bank messenger, who had been turned out of his situation since the fire, on suspicion of dishonesty. 'Oh, sir,' have pity upon me,' cried he, 'I'm an unluoky dog. If it had hot Deen for a stfeeze I should have ha4 t°n thousand pounds in my pocket by this time V Oh, you came after that, did you?' said my husband, coolly. ' Well, please to give up that life preserver which you have in your pocket, oefore we have any more conversation.' ' And did your lady -^11 you that, too?' cried the villain, in accents of astonishment, as he' delivered up the weapon to the man servant, ' and yet I stood by her yonder, and never heard her utter a syllable.' ' I never spoke a word,;e*tif(4t I, thro' the dressing room key hole, for I did not wish the man to think that I had broke*niy oath, nor, to say the truth, was I anxious to-hiake a deadly enemy of bim in case he should ever be at large again. ' Then it's a judgment upon me,' exclaimed the miserable wretch ; ' and it's no good ftlr mie to fight against it.' ' It's not the least good,' replied Frank, decisively,'' and we will' go to the police offioe at onoe.' So oft'went the burglar in their custody, leaving me safe and sound after all. And now don't yOtt think there is some use in learfiihg everything, efeii so small a thing as the deaf and dumb alphabet ? A FOOL AHD HIS MONEY. From the Pi ttsburg Leader. John W. Steel, familiary. known as j" Johnny" -Steel, -and somewhat distinguished as an "oil prince," having for a considerable length of time enjoyed the- princely income of!>2,000 per day,filed,ih the United StatesKlistrict court-last week, a voluntary petition in bankruptcy. •Many of our readers will remember'' his romantic exploits in t&fe east, published some time ago, during, which he is reported to have* squandered sevareal hundred thousand dollars. After having " sowed his wild- oats," and losing his oil farm, he found himself in rather straightened' circumstances, and was recently compelled to earn a livfrrg by driving an oil team. His indebtedness, as set forth in his petition,- ' amounts to over 8100,000. Steel is a Peennsylveniah by birth, and is now in - the neighborhood of| twenty-three years of age. He has had but little education, has no business qualifications or shrewdness, and seems [especially cut out by Dame Nature to [attest the truth of the-proverb, that "A fool and his money are - soon parted." Of his early youth ' We know but very little: manhood and riches' sprang upon'him about the same time. His interest iii the famous McClintoek farm and oil wells, in Venango -county, bequeathed him by- his father, for a number of years yielded: him an income of $3,000 per day. This princely income was the means of awakening, in--' Johnny" an ambition to seek other fields and sources of amusement than those offered in the wilds of Vernango county. We heard of him-; first -by his lavish waste of wealth in Philadelphia. Here he made the i aequaintance * of Messrs. Skiff & Gay lord, of-minstrel fame, and one. of his first rash purchases was art entire new outfit for the minstrels, composed of velvet coats and vests and plaid trowsers (many of our readers will remember the troupe in this uniform.) To those eccentric costumes he added | diamond breastpins of the- first' water, and a new-suit of clothes- for each member on- the street. Several members of Cam cross & Dixey's minstrels, of Philadelphia, were also favored in: the same manner. Another of " Johnny's" eccentric acts i in Philadelphia is related as follows : Walking along Chestnut street one- day | with a friend, he espied a beautiful span of horses attached to a splendid'carriage, just turning down from Second. To-see was: to; envy; so, hailing the driver, Sam. M , who, as.it happened, was also the owner," Johnny4?5 coolly asked him if he would sell his establishment. -Sam. looked crediously at. hfe customer, wondering if he were drunk or crazy, when Johnny again put forward the question: " W-tat will, you take tor the whole rig?" Sam, with ai wink, and while knocking the ashes / from his cigar, doubtless thinking to frighten his unknown ens- .tomerjlrSplied: "Well I guess about $7,000:tsiH take the lot." "Johnny" answered by.-Iaying'seven'One-thousand dollar billson the. seat- of the'4 •♦'ehiele and taking hold t>f the reinst coolly -said, " Hop out;" and " hop out" Sam.' ,di4?.-w]hue "Johnijjf" 'drove- off, leaving Sam. standing in amazement on the corner. The day was sp^nt in riding about the city, and spending; money lavishly ; toward evening he had . employed a man to dri-ve, Taj^d, finally, 'while winding up'the day, reached the Girard House, alighting on the pavement, he asked the, driver as to his circumstances, and learning that he knew *'the grip of poverty," "Johnny" made him a present- ofthe horses ahd carriage,, telling the-*3river not to offer thahks, but to "- drive off quick/' Whil^'in Philadelphia, one ofthe ec- eentritjrties b*F his mornihg walks on. Market or Walrrtrt streets, was to watch for a maritntn'a shabby hat. He would '•ueflC-iolWw him* uStil h^.got in front of a* fifllt'Btore, and tien With a swoop, he v^ottld land the offending hat into the middle of the street; at the same time apolegizmg to the wearer; and asking MnijiiiliO'th's /stop©, Where he would' buy him the best to be had. " Johnny" never carried any baggage with him while traveling, purchasing everything-as he required' it.: i Haying resolved one day to stop at the -Continental hotel, instead of his usual retreat—the Girard—-he was driven there in company with "a friend, Mr. Wm. B— y, a noted .merchant of our own city. Sauntering up to the offiee,he made known his desire io "'' stop a while." The clerk asked him as.to the whereabouts of his' baggage; ': Johniiy" replied that he had none. "Then," says the clerk, '' you must pay in advance; that is our rule." " Johnny" cast a glance at him, and wondered that he was not.known. So, winking at jhisj friendNB., he asked the clerk if the proprietor* was in ; receiving a reply in the affirmative, the landlord-sOOn made his appearance, when a conversation of the following tenor ensued: J- S.—" You are the proprietor, I believe sir—the responsible man'/" ' . -Mr. K.—>'Ye*, sir." J. S.—" I wanted to make a short stay with you, but that, gentlenran (pointing to the clerk) says I must pay in advance.'"'' Mr. K.—*" Well, sir f* * 5.8.—" How much do you considov your whole house Worth for a day?" ' Mr. K.—" About S:3,000." ; -•■ J.'iS.—" I'll take 34 - hours, anyhow, and see how it goes." " Johnny" then counted out the money, and turning to his friend, says': "Now, Bill, jump in and play*' clerk:" Humor says this was 13.'s first and only experience in hotel keeping.-.,. There, are many anecdotes related about him, but the above will suffice to show the general character of the' man. When, more recently, the; avalanche: of money had exhausted itself,, we hear of "Johnny" acting in the capacity of door-keeper for. the very same band of minstrels the members of which he had given the diamond .pins and* costumes. . Evil Compa^-V:—The following'beautiful allegory is translated from the fefe*- man: . Tophronius, a Wise., teacher, .would not suffer even, his own grown-up sons and daughters'! to associate '- with those whose conduct was-not; pure aotd upright. " Dear father," said the gentle E.ula- lia to him one day, when he/forbade her, fit coirijJarty With kw1 ftPdWer', to visit the volatile Lnchida, "-Bear father, you must think us very childish, if you imagine that we should bo exposed to danger by it." The father took in- silence a dead coal from the hearth, and reached."it to. his daughter. r.= " It will not burn vou my child; take ' Eulalia did so ; and, behold 1 her'deli- eate white hand was- soiled and blackened, and, as it chanced her white dress also." "' " We cannot be too careful'In handling coals," said Eulalia, in vexation.'-- ;,. ",Yes-, truly," said her father : "you see, my child, the-coals even if they, do not burn, blacken. So it is with tho company of the Vicious." WIT AND WISDOM • The wisest of men are frequently aO» tuated by motives arising' form - prejudice, and in- numerous instances the truely great have discovered when too late that the fatal mishaps of .their lives resulted from the bias of performed opinion. Such has been the acknowledged experience of many a . profound intellect whose labor of life .seems to have been a noble mission of benefaction for his fellow kind. And just as the wisest of men and the greatest of minds deceive themselves by erroneous conclusions drawn from the small, or the great prejudices of their position, so jare the more ignorant thinkers blinded in the simple adduction of weaker ideas The greatest obstacle to the cause of religion is. sectarian animosity. The jinembers of one denomination are frequently heard denouncing the error of their neighbors, and vice versa, fiistead of following thfe example ef old, when it was said "See how these Christians .love one another." A- heartless brute in the . shape - of a man was fined by Justice Dawling to the amount of twenty-five dollars in addition to ten days imprisonment, for wantonly' stabbing i and causing the death of a little dog walking with its mistress in tlie street. " Betsy, my dear !" said St-ubbs, giving his wife a damaged pair of unmentionables, "have the goodness to m^hd them'i'i^'wiil be as'} good ■fa#:'i*om#*'to play to-morrow night." Mrs. Stubbs took her needle, confessing - she eould not see the point, and asked, " Hf*w, so?" * "Wnyi iny deai4, you will see the wonderful ravels in the pant-o- mine." Mrs. S. finished the job, handed back the unmentionables, and said to 'her husband j " That'is darned goodi-.~ A boy from the country, w^s taken into a gentleman's ftlmily. One afternoon just-before ;dark,after having been called up to the drawing-room, he came down into the kitchen laughing immoderately. " What's the matter?" cried the cook " Why, dang it r* said he, " there are twelve on 'em up there, who couldn't light the gas, and they had.to ring for me. to do it." Memory is the cabinet of imagination, the treasury of reason, the registry of conscience, and the council chamber of thought. Though a taste of pleasure may quick- :«ifgth<e relish of life, an Mnrestramed indulgence leads to inevitable destruction. A Fair BAHGAli*.—An Eastern-' farmer, being obliged to I sell a yoke of oxen to pay his hired man, told him that he could not keep him any longer. fWhy," said the maftt-" I'll.stay and take some of your cows instead of money.'-' - "" But what shalll do," said the old farmer,1" When my cows and oxen are all gone' ?■" '■•■ "Why you can work for me and get them back." When the devil fires into a crowd he is sure to hit somebody, and therefore it is best to keep out of evil company. 'Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but nobody is in a hurry about it. Si 1 s i

Best space games – The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1984, PC)
The way Infocom made its text adventures meant that they could be ported almost instantly to any computer of the day, and this game-of-the-book-of-the-radio-show appeared on almost 20 platforms.
To further sweeten the deal, it also came with some amusing pamphlets and a "Don't Panic" badge.
Best space games – Space Quest (1986, Apple II)
The dream of epic games was still distant but Sierra On-Line pushed adventure games in the right direction with this galactic counterpoint to King's Quest. Sure, there was still text entry, but you could also move your chunky character – Roger Wilco, space janitor, around the blocky scenery. An early step towards a glorious future.
Best space games – The Kristal (1989, Amiga)
The Kristal started out as a pitch for a musical stage show, backed by a demo cassette starring Elaine Paige and Patrick Moore. That never came off, but its video game form did, eventually.
As a game it doesn't hold up today, but The Kristal still has merit as a warning against the dangers of exposure to tetrachlorothylene – the creators worked above a dry cleaners in Muswell Hill in the late '80s.
Best space games – Wing Commander (1990, PC)
Beneath the gloss lay a simple repetitive 3D shooter, but Wing Commander was dressed up so nicely that it didn't really matter. Drawing on the feel of Star Wars and Cinemaware's movie-style games alike, Wing Commander kept players enthralled with a flow of cutscenes and military medal ceremonies that made little boys feel like big space heroes.
Best space games – Another World (1991, Atari ST)
When you look back at old games it's often with derision, disbelief or patronising nostalgia; not so with Delphine Software's platformer Another World. Its vectorised graphics set it apart from its contemporaries, and it had gameplay to match. Only a few other titles from this era look this good, and Delphine made all of them too.
Best space games – Phantasy Star Online (2001, Dreamcast)
Sega's ill-fated Dreamcast brought online role-playing to the keyboardless masses with Phantasy Star Online, showing developers the way forward before gallantly stepping aside/ collapsing to let other platforms collect the glory.
We loved Phantasy Star Online for many reasons, but primarily because it let you meet up with your mates and whale away at monsters with a frying pan to a lounge-jazz-electro soundtrack. There's not enough of that nowadays.
Best space games – Halo: Combat Evolved (2001, Xbox)
An opera? Perhaps not in its own right, but as the opening act of the Halo saga it has to make the cut. It's got all the standard opera tropes: tragedy, costumes, a grand, sweeping orchestral score, AI constructs, 4WD vehicles, plasma guns, stumpy aliens... OK, so it's not a textbook opera, but it's close.
Best space games – Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (2003, Xbox)
And so to the first entry from Mass Effect creators Bioware. The Xbox crew went nuts for this when it came out – along with Jedi Outcast, it was one of the first decent uses of a Star Wars license for decades. Knights of the Old Republic played a vital role in the dawn of the new, less geeky age of the western RPG.
Best space games – Mass Effect (2007, Xbox 360)
Compressing five years into as many lines allows us to shunt one Bioware hit right into another, and amazingly, nobody can lay claim to making anything nearly as epic and spacey in that period.
Mass Effect took Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, made it look stunning, and then created a whole new universe with new characters and plots. Anyone for a sequel or two?
Best space games – Galaxy on Fire II HD (2011, iPad and Android)
While the cartoon style of Angry Birds still prevails in tablet gaming, Galaxy on Fire II HD proves that there's a lot more to these biscuit-thin portables than rendering sprites. The game looks fantastic on the iPad and Honeycomb Android tablets and is out on Mac and PC too. Be warned: the main system requirement is a sense of humour. Laughing at the voice acting and pretending it's intentionally atrocious allows you to enjoy it as an interactive, galactic sit-com.

The Nut Wizard is a great pecan picker-upper. This nut roller uses rows of metal wires to make up the basket. These thin metal wires spread open, easily picking up pecans and other nuts from the grass or ground, without losing what has already been collected. The Nut Wizard's basket turns over easily, unlike other nut picker-uppers we have tried. This easy spin motion ensures the nut roller can be pick up pecans with little back-tracking.
My grandparents have three pecan trees in their front yard. We tried three different types of rollers before coming across the Nut Wizard. The other nut picker-uppers would not roll smoothly, meaning the metal wires would not spread to pick up the pecans. Finally my dad purchased a Nut Wizard for them for Christmas two years ago. Last year they picked up 300 lbs of Elliots with it. One of my Aunts saw how well it worked and she bought one and uses it to pick up Stewarts. After picking up our batch of pecans we sit down with our Kinetic Krackers and open them all up.
The Nut Wizard goes by many other names:
nut picker, nut roller, gum ball picker, nut picker-upper, basket nut tool, nut grabber, yard roller, walnut roller, nut tool, walnut rake, nut collector, acorn rake, sweet gum ball rake, and acorn gatherer.

GSA's Global Supply Eases Fed Buying and Expands Inventory
June 30, 2003
Contact: Viki Reath (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON -- GSA Global Supply, the new name for the streamlined U.S. General Services Administration's (GSA) Customer Supply Center, will soon provide tens of thousands of new items, agency officials announced today.
Customers will choose new office products, tools and maintenance/repair/ operating (MRO) supplies, along with the traditional mandatory source items, as required under the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act (JWOD). Purchasers are guaranteed compliance with relevant procurement regulations.
A new Web site, http://www.GSAglobalsupply.gsa.gov, makes buying easier and faster. Customers can choose from this wide array of products and still receive only one bill. Customers also may continue to choose direct billing or use GSA SmartPay purchase cards so there is no need for purchase orders.
"These changes will make it easier and faster for our customers to get the supplies they need, so they can focus on their mission," said Edward J. O'Hare, Assistant Commissioner for GSA Global Supply. "It will help them do more with less, the challenge that faces all federal buyers."
GSA Global Supply complements GSA Advantage's Web site, http://www.GSAadvantage, which permits federal buyers to purchase GSA items, along with products and services from more than 8,000 commercial firms holding GSA Schedule contracts. The new Web site does not include GSA Schedule offerings.
GSA's supply program serves federal agencies throughout the United States and around the world. Purchases may be made by phone, fax and Internet, as well as in four walk-in stores and 23 local inventory partnerships, primarily in support of military customers in Europe and Asia. GSA Global Supply tallied $889 million in business volume in fiscal year 2002.
GSA is a centralized federal procurement and property management agency created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. It acquires, on behalf of federal agencies, office space, equipment, telecommunications, information technology, supplies and services. GSA, comprised of 14,000 associates, provides services and solutions for the office operations of over 1 million federal workers located in 8,300 government -owned and leased buildings in 1,600 U.S. communities.
