If you are suspected of driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you may be arrested for DUI (driving under the influence). Depending on the state, the specific crime is also called DWI (driving while intoxicated), OUI (operating under the influence), or OWI (operating while intoxicated). A DUI conviction has serious consequences (for example, losing your driving privileges); but an experienced DUI attorney can often get the charges dropped or reduced, or may be able to negotiate lesser penalties depending on your circumstances and your past history.

President Obama said today he wants to help reduce the federal debt by eliminating tax breaks for the wealthy, and called on Republicans to sacrifice their "sacred cows" in order to preserve middle class programs like Medicare and education.
"The tax cuts I'm proposing we get rid of are tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, tax breaks for oil companies and hedge fund managers and corporate jet owners," Obama said at a White House news conference.
Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., a top Republican negotiator, said Obama and the Democrats are seeking tax increases that would stall the economy and kill jobs.
"The Democrats' spending spree has brought us to the brink of an economic calamity," McConnell said. "And now they're telling taxpayers they won't do anything to prevent it unless the taxpayers hand over more money in the form of tax hikes."
During the hour-long session with reporters, Obama also said progress in Afghanistan is one reason for his planned withdrawal of U.S. forces, and that Libya's Moammar Gadhafi needs to be removed from power.
The president also refused, repeatedly, to take a position for or against gay marriage.
Some highlights of the back-and-forth:
12:40 p.m. -- Caren Bohan of Reuters asks if extending payroll tax cuts could complicate a debt deal.
Not necessarily, Obama says -- depends on what the overall deal looks like.
Obama wraps up by citing the struggle of individual Americans.
"These folks are counting on us," he says.
12:30 p.m. -- Newly appointed CNN White House correspondent Jessica Yellin notes that the administration has set several dates for the expiration of the debt ceiling -- so why should we take the Aug. 2 deadline seriously.
Obama says the administration has set markers for "getting in trouble" without raising the debt ceiling, but Aug. 2 is the date in which the government will be unable to pay its bills -- and that is going to create a host of fiscal problems for the United States.
"Aug. 2 is a very important date, and there is no reason we can't get this done now," Obama says.
The president also mocks Republicans for saying the U.S. could avoid problems in the short term by paying only the interest on its debts.
"These are bills that Congress ran up," Obama says. "The money has been spent."
The president also notes that his daughters finish their homework a day ahead of schedule -- and Congress should take note.
"They need to do their job," he says -- and raises the prospect of canceling congressional recess if the debt deal isn't done soon.
12:25 p.m. -- A reporter asks about immigration and about the fate of officials involved in a failed gun-running investigation that somehow helped drug lords obtain weapons.
Obama says the investigation is still going on and "appropriate actions" will be taken when it is completed.
The president also takes the opportunity to again promote what he calls "comprehensive immigration reform."
12:22 p.m. -- Laura Meckler of The Wall Street Journal asks if Obama is willing to accept tax cuts to stimulate the economy, even if it increases budget deficits -- and also bluntly asks the president if he "personally" supports gay marriage.
"I'm not going to make news on that today," Obama says of the gay marriage question. "Nice try, though."
As for tax cuts, Obama says he also already signed many into law and is confident the economy will recover.
12:18 p.m. -- ABC News asks if it's possible to declare victory in Libya without Moammar Gadhafi's removal from power.
The answer, basically, is no. Obama cites the United Nations mandate to protect Libyan citizens from attacks by Gadhafi's government, but also notes that the Libya people will always be in danger as long as Gadhafi is in power.
"He needs to step down," Obama says. "He needs to go."
12:13 p.m. -- Mike Emanuel of Fox News asks: How do you define "victory" in Afghanistan.
Obama says the goal is to "be successful" in a mission to help the Afghanistan government stand on its own and beat back insurgents; he adds that U.S. is being successful, and that's a reason for the drawdown of 33,000 troops over the next 14 months or so.
12:10 p.m. -- The New York Times ask about legal rules for capturing terrorist suspects abroad.
Obama says all apprehensions should be based on "the rule of law," but each circumstance is different and needs to be assessed on a "case-by-case" basis.
The priority is always "carrying out the mission," president adds.
12:03 p.m. -- Julianna Goldman of Bloomberg News wonders if the focus on debt reduction is overshadowing the jobs issue, and also asks about business complaints of over-regulation.
Obama says debt reduction should be seen as part of an overall approach designed to create more jobs. So are things like the tax code, free trade, and other items.
"The business community is always complaining about regulations," Obama adds.
Obama declines to comment on another part of Goldman's question: A National Labor Relations Board decision to block a Boeing plant in South Carolina because of union issues. "That's an independent agency," he says, adding that the issue is in court. He does ask the parties to "step back" and assess the impact on jobs.
11:53 a.m. -- Chuck Todd of NBC News rattles off a series of legal questions: Is the 1973 War Powers Act constitutional (vis-a-vis Libya), is the debt ceiling constitutional, and is (gay) marriage a civil right?
"Well, that was a hodgepodge," Obama responds. "Chuck, we're going to assign you to the Supreme Court."
After defending the Libya mission, Obama says it is not subject to the War Powers Resolution because the U.S. is playing a support role to NATO -- so he doesn't have to talk about its constitutionality.
As for marriage, Obama defends his gay rights record and applauds the New York Legislature for passing a gay marriage -- but doesn't take a personal position on that latter issue.
"I think we're moving in a direction of greater equality," he adds.
11:47 a.m. -- Ben Feller of the Associated Press asks: How could get any tax hike through Congress, given Republican opposition?
Obama says he expected leaders to "rise to the occasion ... call me naive."
Obama then promotes what he calls a "balanced" approach, noting that Democrats are willing to give on cuts to valuable programs, including entitlements. Says Republicans must take on what he calls "sacred cows." Notes that new revenues won't be coming from middle class folks who are struggling, but wealthy people who are doing "extraordinarily well."
"We're gonna keep on having these conversations," Obama says.
11: 38 a.m. -- Running a few minutes late, President Obama opens with remarks about the economy and debt ceiling negotiations. He talks about Americans struggling with the economy, and argues that the problems weren't "created overnight," so they won't be "solved overnight."
Talks about his economic program, including less regulations. But also challenges Congress to help out with new legislation on items such as infrastructure construction, free trade agreements, and tax cuts. "Many of these ideas have been tied up in Congress for some time," he says.
Obama then shifts to the bipartisan talks over the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling and debt reduction -- then says he wants to be clear about what he means by new revenues, namely the elimination of "tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires ... oil companies ... hedge fund managers ... (and) corporate jet owners."
Otherwise, he said, the government will have to look at cutting things like education and Medicare.
That said, Obama says he believes he can bridge the differences with Republicans, and that talks will continue.

Share it Please
Especially YA romance is a genre full of cliche tropes that keep getting repeated over and over again until only the mention of said tropes makes you want to rip out pages and eat them.
Not that I've contemplated doing that.
Or have I
Then there are tropes that make you want to get legally married to a book.
Not that I've contemplated doing that either
Here are some from both categories.
5. Having The Talk With Your Boyfriend Instead of Your Parents
I don't think I've ever read about a guy and a girl discussing protection before they get it on. This right here is the cause of teenage pregnancy, my friends.
4. No Love Poems!
Teenage guys don't read love poems ... actually, I can't think of a single teenager that reads love poems. Or anyone for that matter ... also I don't understand how that makes a dude more attractive, but ok.
3. Realistic Portrayals In Terms of Looks
19-year-old boys aren't super muscly or manly. Most 16-year-old girls don't even have fully developed breasts. And most importantly, no 19-year-old would go for a 15-year-old like it's so common in YA novels. That 19-year-old who does decide to settle for the slightly younger girlfriend is most likely not insanely attractive and caring and loveable but also deep and bruding. Come on.
2. No, or late love confessions
Love is a complicated thing and especially when I'm reading about teenagers falling in love I don't want them to confess their undying everlasting love for each other after one novel. If so, it has to be written over a long period told-time. One way to make me instantly like your novel more is to just leave out the I love you.
1. Breaking Up
Yes, you read that right. Not all romantic relationships work. It's a fact. Why do people always have to end up together in a romance novel? That's not how life works.
5. Super Celibacy
Let's face it, the one thing teenage boys want the most is to get laid. We've all been teenagers, let's not even try to protest against this. Guys who act oh so super mature and understanding when the girl isn't ready yet, are rare. Especially among 15-21 year olds. Show me that one teenage guy who'll wait for you until marriage and I'll show you my pet unicorn.
4. Stalker Boyfriends
It's not cute to have the guy wait at your door every evening. It's not cute to have him even break into your house and wait in your bedroom because he wanted to see you. It's not cute if he goes completely bonkers whenever another dude does as much as look at you. It's creepy. This guy belongs in jail.
3. Neglecting Your Friends
The second the hot guy/girl comes around the corner, the friends are passé. Who cares about your best friend of 10 years when you've got a hot guy waiting for you at home?
2. Ridiculous Eye Colours
"His eyes were so green, that kind of green that you only find in flowers blooming deep down at the bottom of the sea."
"His eyes were so blue, not sky-blue, but the blue the sky turns after a storm."
Don't. Brown's a fine eye colour, too, yet I can't recall ever having read a novel with a super hot love interest that didn't have a stupidly exaggerated eye colour. Stop.
1. Instant Love
Yes, I do understand that it's the easiest way to get the side romance plot out of the way and get on with other oh-so-dramatic things that are about to happen in your novel, young debut author. But come on, do you really want to read a novel about two people that instantly fall in love without knowing each other? This doesn't only portray a completely distorted image of Love, but also gives young readers the wrong idea of what to look for in a partner - looks.

Reality documented

London-based documentary maker Sophie Fiennes in Adelaide says we can learn from documentary's ugly cousin, reality TV.

Reality TV could be reflecting the social programming in society, writes Penelope Debelle.
Reality TV, and all the inane low browness the genre encompasses, may be the ugly cousin of the more revered documentary artform but it has suprising support among serious documentary makers.
Sophie Fiennes, a London-based documentary film maker who worked as an assistant to British film director Peter Greenaway before turning to documentary, says we should learn from it.
In Adelaide this week for the 2005 Australian International Documentary Conference, Fiennes, who is the sister of film stars Ralph and Joseph Fiennes , defended shows including Big Brother despite what she calls their "terrifying gladiatorial" base.
"It is actually very interesting because the key series of reality TV really do reflect society," she says. "People are very quick to demonise Big Brother or Wife Swap but they don't knock the programs I think are really hideous - how to improve your house, how to improve your hairstyle, your this, your that, the endless bourgeois bettering."
While others hate them, like anthrolopogical documentary maker, Dennis O'Rourke, whose latest project, Land Mines - A Love Story, set in Kabul, premiered last night, Fiennes says the fact they are talked about so much shows their relevance to culture.
"As hideous as they are, they reflect a hideousness that is at work in social programming where we think we have choice to be ourselves but we are really being pocketed into being certain kinds of types," she says.
Fiennes, a friend of a former Adelaide Festival of Arts director Peter Sellars, is best known for her documentary, Hoover Street Revival, an organic study of life around the Los Angeles church of charismatic black preacher and brother of 1980s diva Grace Jones, the Reverend Noel Jones, whose vibrant and powerful sermons have been the salvation of the congregation in one of the toughest ghettos in LA.
It is actually very interesting because the key series of reality TV really do reflect society.
"I was seeking actually to see what was the tension between what was said in church and what life itself dealt people who went to church," says Fiennes, still jet-lagged after a 25-hour flight from Britain.
"I couldn't even follow individual stories. I was more interested in the impossibility of seeing what was happening in this community - it was more like, 'wham, bam, thank you ma'am' into disparate moments of people lives rather than the usual documentary conceit where 'I have found my characters and I will follow their journey'."
Tomorrow, she will be one of about 20 hopefuls selected to pitch their latest project to a room of international and Australian programmers, financiers, co-production partners and buyers who have come to Adelaide looking for material.
Her shamelessly titled The Pervert's Guide to Cinema, will be a talking-head documentary focusing on the work of hip Slovenian cultural theorist, Slavoj Zizek, author of Enjoy Your Symptom! Instead of observing him, documentary style, Fiennes wants an essay to camera, with Zizek talking about the psychological level on which cinema functions. Hence the need for the sexy title.
After that, she may take up an offer from Grace Jones, the growling black singer who she has befriended in London, to make a film of the singer's life, or she may try directing a work of fiction.
Fiennes is writing her first feature piece and spent last year working with actors and understanding character. Her famous brothers are not necessarily included, but could be.
"If there was a part, you know something they were well-suited to play, then yeah, I am very close to them," she says.
The Australian International Documentary Conference runs in Adelaide until Thursday.

Adult Swim has picked up animated series Black Dynamite for a spring 2012 debut. Based on the 2009 feature, Black Dynamite further chronicles the exploits of the central character, ex-CIA agent and full-time ladies man Black Dynamite, and his crew as they avenge the death of Black Dynamite's brother against kung-fu masters, drug-dealing pimps and The Man and his crew. Spearheaded by Carl Jones (The Boondocks), the series features the voices of Michael Jai White, Tommy Davidson, Kym Whitley and Byron Minns, all of whom starred in the feature. Black Dynamite, animated by Titmouse, is produced by Ars Nova Entertainment. Jones, Jon Steingart and Jillian Apfelbaum executive produce. Brian Ash is co-executive producer. Scott Sanders, Michael Jai White and Byron Minns are producers.
Adult Swim Picks Up 'Black Dynamite' Series
25 Comments
This is destined to be the greatest cartoon ever made as the film is the greatest film ever made.
Black Dynamite bears a distinct resemblance to a DC Comics character from the 1970's called Black Lightning.
Or Shaft.
Or Obama
Right because…. They all look the same, right? Shouldn't you be defending your boy Beck on the forum about him being pushed out of his show?
…uh…hush up, little girls. Lots of cats look like that.
Or something.
This had to be one of the funniest comedies I saw in 2010 so I'm happy to see it gaining recognition. I had no idea Michael Jai White could be such a brilliant comedic actor. I only worry that the style of the film won't translate to animation. Half of what made Black Dynamite hilarious was the intentionally terrible production values. Perhaps if the series is successful a proper sequel will get the green light.
+1 on this. What made the movie were things like the boom mike, the stand-in-stunt-double, people reading the cue cards ("The militant turns, startled"), etc. Hard to see how it could compare – but hey, at least it's Adult Swim trying it.
I seen the pilot for this at an Meltdown Comics in LA with Sanders, White and Minns as well as Ash. It wass abso-fucking-lutely BRILLIANT! I have not laughed this hard at a cartoon in a long time…maybe since Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies. If the idea of a Kermit the Frog and Sesame Street characters gone rogue seems like a funny idea to you, definitely check it out. As for the buffoonery, I would have to say it didn't exhibit any of that. The creators are very sure of themselves. As a matter of fact, White, Minns and Sanders are somewhat "Black nerds" when it comes to our culture. They are quite gifted at taking a message and really doing it in a just way. Though I think its different from McGruder's satire-style from The Boondocks, you will appreciate its contribution as the Black cartoon genre grows.
I absolutely loved this movie. Everything about it down to the obvious 70's like missteps (seeing the mic and the same car over the cliff scene) was right on point. You can push the boundaries with cartoons I'm sure it's going to risky and fun.
WOW what a Great Movie and i have to collect all the animated series.
Saw some of this in NYC last year, its hilarious.
The film is highly overrated. A spoof without the moral message or zingers compared to similar movies in the past. No surprise by hollywood seeing another pimps, hoes and drugs movie featuring black folks.
I am usually on the lookout for coonism (for example, I'm not a fan of "The Boondocks") but somehow didn't see it in Black Dynamite. It had a sense of humor without being denigrating. And if you saw flicks like "Bucktown" or "Slaughter's Big Rip-Off" those were kinda short on moral messages too. Judging from the still above the animation style looks cool. As long as they keep to the 70s vibe and don't devolve into hip-hop minstrelsy, I'm down.
And LOL @ "Ron Mexico"
im white and i loved it. i also like 90's rap, berry gordy's last dragon and have jerome benton in my cell phone. i bought shaq's first album, grew up in oakland/berkeley, watch the wire and think michael jackson was a child molester first and an artist second. i also think the only thing i support about your post is your name…Ron Mexico…that;s a funny name. but going the hollywood and pimps hoes bit seems absurd here when you look at the filmakers and the $ behind this movie…you turded out on this one mexico and gave a crappy stock answer and also used the word zingers. i disagree with you.
Congrats Jillian Apfelbaum and everyone at ARS NOVA!!
I liked the movie quite a bit, but there's a part of me that thinks an Adult Swim cartoon could be even better. Totally echo the 'who knew Michael Jai White was so impossibly funny' comment.
This is going to be great.
Like the name "Titmouse".
Everyone here should see THICK as THIEVES. sanders dir (and co wrote it) just like BD it's got Alec baldwin as the lead and Ars Nova produced. It's brilliant, trust me. Michael Jai white is the "bad guy" and is hilarious.
Whether they put their ankles in it or not I'm sure this'll be good!
Looking forward to this but I'm also hesitant to believe this series will have legs.
I laughed my arse off during the movie. And adult swim is a late night, just blazed, eating munchies, choking on doritos epicness that I personally enjoy more than masturbation. I too fear that a cartoon spin off won't capture the low budget, cheesy feel that the movie held. Guess time will only tell.
Amen to that.

Architects pitch Ringgold Middle plans
After two architects pitched preliminary plans for a new Ringgold Middle School during a facilities committee meeting, school board President Mariann Bulko said the board will vote Wednesday to hire one in an effort to move forward with the project.
"I was told, 'do not flinch, do not blink, don't look over my shoulder ... just move ahead,'" Bulko said after nearly two hours of presentations.
"I'm trying to do something that has not been done as president of the board. We've been saying for years that we were going to build a new middle school. I'm really hoping that this will unite the district."
She said the students are united.
"They want this, but it's the parents and adults that are fighting," Bulko said. "We have seven municipalities that make up Ringgold. That's the biggest challenge, bringing everyone together, and we have some board members that are trying to divide it even further."
Hayes Large Architects LLP and HHSDR Architects and Engineers are competing for the job.
Hayes Large opened the meeting by submitting its plan for the grades five through eight building, which will be near the high school.
Both plans would be at the same site.
The cost estimate for the Hayes Large building is $26.2 million, including construction costs, $21.3 million, and other costs, $4.9 million. The size would be 126,000 square feet.
The building would be nestled into the downslope, with people entering on the top level where grades five and six would be housed. Grades seven and eight would be on the lower level in an effort to separate grade clusters.
"Each grade level would have its own restrooms, science labs, special education classrooms and computer labs," said S. Dwight Knouse, Hayes Large executive director. "We're highlighting in the building our effective organization of spaces with the grade level clusters."
Knouse said Hayes Large's plan promoted good circulation of students, use of daylight and connection to outdoors with every classroom having windows, safety and security, and the proper zoning for after-hours use.
It would include 28 standard classrooms, four special education classrooms, eight planning/pupil support rooms, four media rooms and four science labs.
It would include a 10,000-square-foot gymnasium, a large group instruction room on each level, cafeteria, prep kitchen, and band and chorus rooms.
Expansion would be possible.
"We really want to make sure we bring each decision before the board," Knouse said. "It's important that we build what you want and allow for the building that you want and need. Don't build what you don't need."
The plan calls for changes to the property.
"It's important to make this a true campus," Knouse said. "It will be a campus that allows for a student safety zone. Anyone commuting between the high school and middle school building won't have to cross any lanes of traffic."
The plan calls for separate pickup and dropoff zones for buses and parents.
"This will allow traffic to be separated," Knouse said. "We'll add a new parking lot with approximately 220 spaces to the east side of the campus behind the high school, near what would be the parent dropoff and pickup zone."
In all, 450 to 480 parking spaces would be available on campus.
To allow for building construction, tennis courts that sit in the northwest corner of the property will be moved to the south end, below Joe Montana Stadium. The work is included in the Hayes Large cost estimate.
The building, if Hayes Large gets the job, will include masonry bearing walls, concrete masonry instead of brick, exposed structure in the gymnasium, library and possibly the lobbies, an economical HVAC system, and a low-slope roof.
Brad Furey, a member of the Hayes Large team, has 15 years experience as chief of facilities with the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Knouse called him a state "PlanCon expert."
Any plan cannot go forward until Ringgold begins the PlanCon procedure. PlanCon, short for Planning and Construction Workbook, is a set of forms and procedures used to apply for state reimbursement for projects.
"As soon as a decision is made, we'd proceed through design development," Furey said.
"We'd get solid cost information and move forward based on availability of reimbursement. There's a need to be ready when the moratorium on PlanCon ends June 30."
"With Brad on the team, we're able to have good advice on state funding," Knouse said.
Locally, Hayes Large designed Bentworth Middle School and Sto-Rox Middle School, and a school in the Yough School District.
Another view
HHSDR was represented by Hayden Greer, a familiar part of Ringgold school board meetings.
He highlighted HHSDR's history with the district and its position as the No. 1 ranked firm in projects under construction or in design in the tri-state area by the Pittsburgh Builders Exchange.
"That's something we're really proud of. That, and our relationship and familiarity with the Ringgold School District," Hayden said.
Hayden led off his presentation with photos of HHSDR's recently completed project for the Chartiers-Houston School District, which included a new addition and fieldhouse facilities at the new stadium complex.
The HHSDR plan called for cost estimates ranging from $28.2 million to $29.9 million. Reimbursement calculations totaled $8,285,300. Hayes Large did not have reimbursement figures included in its presentation.
Reimbursement through Leadership in Energy and Environment Design – an ecology-oriented building certification program run under the auspices of the U.S. Green Building Council – could reach $9,073,830, according to HHSDR.
Other factors that could increase the estimated costs are improvements to Ram Drive, replacement of the tennis courts (estimated $300,000), and a second exit to Route 136.
While HHSDR's plan was largely similar to that of Hayes Large, there were differences.
Hayden said in terms of security, he would consider bulletproof glass for the office area.
Hayes Large officials said extra security was among items that would be discussed later in the design phase.
HHSDR's plan included a timeline for project completion. The measure calls for design and agency approvals, receiving and awarding of bids to be completed beginning as early as August through May 2014.
Construction could begin in July 2014 and completed by April 2016.
The building, the larger of the two plans, would be a two-story building with the lower level housing the office and grades five and six. Grades seven and eight would be on the second floor.
The design includes 36 regular classrooms, seven special education rooms, three science labs, three computer labs, and one LGI room. Each classroom is approximately 850 square feet, Hayden said.
At the onset of the meeting, Bulko said order would prevail. Each board member was permitted to ask questions after each presentation. The architects also fielded questions from the public.
In the wake of a deadly school shooting in Newtown, Conn., security was a key issue Monday.
Hayden said he would include bulletproof glass in the office area of an HHSDR-designed school, while Knouse said he wouldn't include as much glass near the main entrance.
"Look what happened there," Knouse said of Newtown. "There was a buzzer system, but the shooter shot through the glass. I'd eliminate big panes of glass."
Director Larry Mauro asked about first-floor windows and measures taken to ensure student safety.
"I don't think bulletproof glass would fit there because of the budgetary concerns," Knouse said. "But, it's something that we could look at during the design phase, when we come to the board and see what we want to include or not include."
Hayden responded to Mauro's question by highlighting the fact that windows in its design are relatively high and gaining entry into the building through them would be difficult.
Bulko said she'd like to have a panic button in every classroom, with a direct line to either school security or the county 911 center.
Director Bob Smith expressed concerns about the proposed site.
"When you're talking about cutting in and filling, there's a lot that can go wrong there," he said.
Director Bill Stein declined to ask questions, instead offering a statement.
"I'm more concerned with the process involved," Stein said. "I'm more concerned about working with us and the stakeholders, the taxpayers of this district."
Bulko said a community group will be formed for discussions about the building.
"I've been talking about the community group even before I was president," Bulko said. "I think it's really important. I think the people of the community have a say-so in it. I also think it's going to unite the district. That's the goal.
"I'm very pleased with what I heard here tonight. Yes, one plan was more expensive, but it's a bigger school. One is familiar, one is not. We'll decide and vote Wednesday."
Monongahela Councilman Ken Kulak, an architect, said he liked what he heard.
"They have to condense a lot of information in a short amount of time," Kulak said of Hayes Large. "They don't have the familiarity that HHSDR does. I'm very satisfied with what I saw; it's a very thought-out process. It looks like they're paying attention to what the requirements are, and it looks like it's a moderate approach.
"As an architect, we never want to shove our thoughts down anyone's throat. The engagement process and involving the community, there's a lot of factors here. You have to engage the stakeholders in the process. It's a wonderful approach."
The board will meet 7 p.m. Wednesday in regular session.

The acronym Super NES stands for Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The kids probably have one somewhere ...
51. Colorado's ___ Mountain : VAIL
The Vail Ski Resort in Colorado is the largest single-mountain ski resort in the whole country. The resort was opened in 1962, basically in the middle of nowhere. It was given the name Vail after Vail Pass which runs by the mountain (now also called Vail Mountain). The town of Vail, Colorado was established four years later in 1966, and now has a population of about 5,000.

61. Long-distance commuter's home, maybe : EXURB
As an extension to the term "suburb", an "exurb" is an area beyond the suburbs at the very outskirts of a city. Often the term exurb is used to denote an area inhabited by more wealthy people.
1. What the narrator "threw up" in "The Night Before Christmas" : SASH
The poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" was published anonymously in 1823, and is better known today by its first line "'Twas the night before Christmas". Most scholars believe that the poem was written by Clement Clark Moore, a theologian from New York City. Others say that it was written by Henry Livingston, Jr. a poet from Upstate New York.
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash ...
2. Baseball's Lefty : O'DOUL
Lefty O'Doul was from San Francisco. He owned a restaurant in the city that bears his name and which still operates today (near Union Square). There's a bridge near AT&T Park, the Giant's relatively new ball park, that's called Lefty O'Doul Bridge.

6. Ben of Ben & Jerry's : COHEN
Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield did a correspondence course on ice-cream making in 1977 given by Pennsylvania State University's Creamery. The following year they opened an ice cream parlor in an old gas station in Burlington, Vermont. Today Ben & Jerry's has locations in over 20 countries around the world, and their's was the first brand ice-cream to go into space.
10. Onetime owner of Sheraton Hotels : ITT
The Sheraton Hotel chain was started by Ernest Henderson and Robert Moore in 1937. The pair bought a hotel that already had a lighted sign on its roof saying "Sheraton Hotel", and as it was too big and expensive to change, they decided to adopt the name for the whole chain.
14. Children's author Eleanor : ESTES
Eleanor Estes started writing children's books when she was bedridden, recovering from tuberculosis. By the time she died in 1988, she had written 20 books, including one novel for adults. Her most lauded title is "Ginger Pye" published in 1951.
18. Egyptian expanse : THE SINAI DESERT
The Sinai Peninsula is the eastern part of Egypt, the triangular peninsula bounded by the Mediterranean to the north, and the Red Sea to the south. It is the only part of Egypt that lies in Asia as opposed to Africa. The eastern land border of the peninsula is shared with Israel, allowing Israel to occupy the Sinai during the 1956 Suez Crisis and the Six Day War of 1967.
23. Etiolate : WHITEN
One can etiolate a plant by preventing exposure to sunlight. Without light, the plant does not produce chlorophyll so the it is white instead of green. One example of a crop grown this way is asparagus. White asparagus shoots are highly prized in northern Europe, and command a hefty premium in price.
26. Hi-tech auto device : CARPUTER
I remember the days when I used to be able to fix my own car, and then along came carputers, computers installed in automobiles ...
29. ___ Pinto (Texas county or its seat) : PALO
The town of Palo Pinto was founded at the geographic center of Palo Pinto County when it was established in 1856. The community started to grow but was dealt a devastating blow when the railroad bypassed the town in 1880. Today Palo Pinto is one of the smaller towns in the county with a population of just over 400, but it is still the county seat.
30. Lena of "Havana" : OLIN

34. Cain, e.g. : ELDEST
According to the Book of Genesis in the Bible, after Cain murdered his younger brother Abel he fled to the Land of Nod, located "east of Eden", which is the source for the title of John Steinbeck's celebrated novel "East of Eden".
35. Shaving alternative : NAIR
Nair is a hair removal product that has some pretty harsh ingredients. The most important active constituents are calcium hydroxide ("slake lime") and sodium hydroxide ("caustic soda"). The balance of the ingredients seem to be there to soothe the skin after the harsher chemicals have done their job. The name "Nair" probably comes from combining "no" and "hair".
43. Sailor's stopper : AVAST
Avast is a nautical term, used to tell someone to stop or desist from what they are doing. The word comes from the Dutch "hou vast" meaning "hold fast".
44. Russian alternative : RANCH

Alternate universe
From Imperial Wiki
An alternate universe or parallel universe, as the name suggests, is another universe in a group of universes (ours included). The idea stems from certain physics theories, but is very far from either confirmation of falsification at this point.
Alternate Universes in Fiction
As they allow asking of "What if?" Questions, alternate universes are common themes in the genres of science fiction and alternate history.
- In Star Trek, there exists an alternate universe in which Earth-based civilization, instead of developing into the Federation, produced the Terran Empire.
- In Stargate, several alternate universes exist, among them several in which Earth has been conquered by the Goa'uld.
- The TV series Sliders focuses upon a group of individuals with the capacity to travel from universe to universe.
Alternate Universes in the VS Debate
In versus debates, it is assumed that all fictional series/timelines are set in their own universes. Generally these two converge in some manner, usually involving wormholes or mass displacement of forces, nations, continents and star systems.

2006.220: On the application of the Wiener-Hopf technique to problems in dynamic elasticity
2006.220: I. David Abrahams (2002) On the application of the Wiener-Hopf technique to problems in dynamic elasticity. Wave Motion, 36 (4). pp. 311-333. ISSN 0165-2125

Many problems in linear elastodynamics, or dynamic fracture mechanics, can be reduced to Wiener–Hopf functional equations defined in a strip in a complex transform plane. Apart from a few special cases, the inherent coupling between shear and compressional body motions gives rise to coupled systems of equations, and so the resulting Wiener–Hopf kernels are of matrix form. The key step in the solution of a Wiener–Hopf equation, which is to decompose the kernel into a product of two factors with particular analyticity properties, can be accomplished explicitly for scalar kernels. However, apart from special matrices which yield commutative factorizations, no procedure has yet been devised to factorize exactly general matrix kernels.
This paper shall demonstrate, by way of example, that the Wiener–Hopf approximant matrix (WHAM) procedure for obtaining approximate factors of matrix kernels (recently introduced by the author in [SIAM J. Appl. Math. 57 (2) (1997) 541]) is applicable to the class of matrix kernels found in elasticity, and in particular to problems in QNDE. First, as a motivating example, the kernel arising in the model of diffraction of skew incident elastic waves on a semi-infinite crack in an isotropic elastic space is studied. This was first examined in a seminal work by Achenbach and Gautesen [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 61 (2) (1977) 413] and here three methods are offered for deriving distinct non-commutative factorizations of the kernel. Second, the WHAM method is employed to factorize the matrix kernel arising in the problem of radiation into an elastic half-space with mixed boundary conditions on its face. Third, brief mention is made of kernel factorization related to the problems of flexural wave diffraction by a crack in a thin (Mindlin) plate, and body wave scattering by an interfacial crack.

Santiago, Chile (UPI) Mar 5, 2013
A new business collaboration in Chile will advance electronic waste recycling, an industry witnessing phenomenal growth in Latin America.
Californian firm Green Technology Solutions, Inc. said its agreement with Chilerecicla was part of a dedicated effort to expand its recycling operations to a booming Latin American market.
Major electronic companies, including Apple and Sony, earlier announced ambitious plans to turn a burgeoning problem -- Earth's mountains of electronic waste -- into a lucrative business opportunity.
Green Technology Solutions said its letter of intent aimed to finalize due diligence and begin negotiating deal terms with the Chilean "urban mining" major.
Chilerecicla was founded in 2009 and opened the first e-waste recycling plant in southern Chile.
Operating from its facility in the city of Chillan, about 240 miles south of Santiago, Chilerecicla specializes in the direct removal of electronic waste from clients' offices for transport to its central plant as well as the sale of reusable materials.
The work often involves handling of hazardous materials as well electronic waste, ranging from household and consumer items to aerospace instrumentation, the companies said.
GTSO Chief Executive Officer Paul Watson said the company had looked at Chile as an investment destination "for some time now" due to the extremely favorable market conditions.
The recycling venture received strong support from the government of President Sebastian Pinera, Watson said. The business was encouraged by Chile's dynamic recovery from the 2008 global downturn.
"The country has bounced back strong from the global recession and its fledgling recycling industry is open for business," he said.
Limited access to credit has prevented any single company from establishing a dominant market position in Chile's urban mining sector.
With funding and assistance from GTSO, he said, Chilerecicla could potentially emerge "as the leader of the pack in a nation where demand for e-waste recycling is growing at an unbelievable rate."
Industry experts say Chile has the advantage of easy access to cheap waste including discarded phones and electronics from within the country as well as neighboring countries including Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru.
The industry also appears to be thriving because it has fewer processes and regulations for e-waste management to cope with than elsewhere.
"Right now, much of Latin America's hazardous e-waste ends up in the trash," Watson said. "We're interested in turning that trash into cash and applying this company's best practices to our U.S. operations, as well."
Urban mining is a phenomenon with increasing competition. GTSO, which has headquarters in San Jose, Calif., has to contend with rival companies seeking sustainable waste solutions, including Industrial Services of America and Sims Metal Management Ltd.
Meanwhile, Sony says it is actively recycling electronic waste through operations across Latin America.
Apple says it is engaged in responsible recycling of electronic waste across Latin America and other regions.

How many million Aprils came
Before I ever knew
How white a cherry bough could be,
A bed of squills, how blue!
And many a dancing April
When life is done with me,
Will lift the blue flame of the flower
And the white flame of the tree.
Oh burn me with your beauty, then,
Oh hurt me, tree and flower,
Lest in the end death try to take
Even this glistening hour.
O shaken flowers, O shimmering trees,
O sunlit white and blue,
Wound me, that I, through endless sleep,
May bear the scar of you.

Can Anyone Make a Bigger Snow Angel Than Dave Spencer? [VIDEO]
After unusually mild winters the last couple of years, I just knew we'd get a real winter this year. And, boy, did we ever.
Winter 2014 has been marked by extremely, ridiculously cold weather. We've had more periods with sub-zero temperatures in the past month than I can ever remember.
But we haven't had a whole lot of snow. At least not that heavy, snowman-building, snow-angel-creating snow.
Until now.
So, I decided to do something I guess I haven't done since, at least, college, if not before.

Legendary Colorado concert promoter Barry Fey dies at 73
The colorful promoter who made Colorado a destination for the biggest names in music died Sunday. Barry Fey was 73.
The cause of death was not immediately available, but an unusually downtrodden Fey told The Denver Post last week that he was recovering from hip-replacement surgery.
"Barry Fey is one of the giants of a generation," said William Dean Singleton, chairman and publisher of The Denver Post and a close friend of Fey's. "He brought the music scene to Colorado, and every part of the music scene you see here today has his fingerprints on it."

Paris (AFP) April 03, 2013
Almost unknown to the public, a constellation of satellite guardians is flying overhead, and all it takes is a phone call for them to intervene when a country is hit by a storm, earthquake, tsunami or flood.
Armed with cameras or ground radar, these Earth-observation satellites were sent into orbit for scientific and commercial missions.
But under an international agreement, they can also be called on for humanitarian work.
Assigned to fly over a disaster zone, they send back high-resolution images that can be crucial for rescue teams on the ground.
Which towns or streets are most at risk of flooding? What route can be found for relief trucks after a bridge has collapsed? And where is a secure location to pitch tents for survivors?
This pooled effort gathers 14 space agencies or national organisations, which together have 20 satellites, ranging from France's SPOT commercial satellite to the United States' scientific satellite, Landsat.
Their cooperation comes under an agreement called the International Charter Space and Major Disasters.
When catastrophe strikes, an "authorised user" of the Charter simply phones a number at the European Space Agency (ESA), where space technicians are on round-the-clock duty.
After confirming the request, the team looks at what satellites are available, determines which is best suited for the job and then sends a programming request to its operator.
Within three hours, a scout can be instructed to take pictures as it swings over the site, said Philippe Bally, ESA's representative on the Charter's secretariat in Paris.
The data is usually available within 24 hours, and the service is provided for free, rather as ships at sea divert course to pick up a seafarer in distress.
"We select the satellite according to what is needed -- visual images or radar images, the type of resolution -- and this is determined by the type of disaster," said Catherine Proy of France's National Centre for Space Studies (CNES), which devised the initiative with ESA in 1999.
"We also have to factor in differences in the time zone and overflight opportunities."
To make the information usable on the ground, the raw data is sent to specialist cartographers, who highlight the disaster zone and compare the latest pictures against those from previous years in order to show the change.
Since 2000, the Charter has been "activated" 369 times in 110 countries. Floods and tsunamis account for roughly half of the activations, followed by storms (16 percent) and earthquakes (11 percent).
The beneficiary countries are generally poor economies that do not have access to an Earth-observation satellite.
Haiti, for instance, was helped after the January 2010 earthquake with satellite pictures that pinpointed terrain that offered the best opportunities for clean water and identified areas at risk of landslip.
One of the 41 authorised users of the Charter is the United Nations, which can activate it on behalf of member states.
The most recent activation was after Cyclone Haruna smashed into Mozambique in February.
Rich countries, too, can ask for an activation. Germany activated the Charter in 2003 to provide images for Iran after the 2003 Bam earthquake that left 35,000 people dead.
In November last year, parts of northern England experienced their heaviest rainfall in 50 years.
By getting satellite pictures from Germany's TerraSAR system and Canada's RADARSAT system, engineers on the ground were able to rush pumps to ease key locations before floodwater built up dangerously.
Diverting a satellite from a scheduled orbit entails a sacrifice for the operator, because it uses up a precious supply of onboard propellant to manoeuvre it into place.
But the Charter tries to avoid this.
With 20 satellites looping around the world in different trajectories, vast areas of the planet are covered, and one satellite is usually close enough to a disaster site to take images as it flies over. Ease of coverage will be helped after Russia joins the club.

Quick Guide to Cairo
Cairo is one of the busiest, boldest cities on the African continent, with its narrow streets always packed with the noise of commerce and culture, making it a must-see destination for eager travellers. Why not combine a trip here with a Nile cruise to keep those amazing sights coming.

How To Get To Cairo
20 kilometres from the city itself is the international airport where all Cairo flights land. The car hire from Cairo Airport will allow you to make the trip to your accommodation and then around the city and the nearby attractions, although you can also take a taxi or bus if you do not want to keep a vehicle with you for your entire holiday to Cairo.
What To Do In Cairo
Egypt is famed for its pyramids and you would be insane to miss a visit to Giza to see these incredible ancient structures that point impossibly into the sky in a way that has withstood the ravages of time for over 4000 years. The deeply embedded history of the city is visible everywhere and a comprehensive collection of artefacts can be found in the main museum. Many people choose to spend a good deal of time on holiday in Cairo sitting in a cafe or restaurant observing the whirlwind of human activity passing by.
Where To Stay In Cairo
Whilst the streets are packed, there are pools of tranquility to be found in the various luxury hotels which can keep you cocooned and cushioned during holidays to Cairo. Many mix classic exterior design with updated, modern interiors to give you the best of both worlds, whilst those seeking to find cheap holidays to Cairo will be well met by the more budget accommodation options in and around the city.

Vintage Curtains: Go Modern Using Old Fashioned Design
Shabby chic and country cottage as well as Victorian-style period interior design is all big news these days. There's a whole host of white painted distressed furniture as well as ornate mirrors and bronze candlesticks to dress up your home with. And when it comes to the textiles side, custom made curtains, bed spreads, throws, cushions, table cloths etc can really make a difference to your overall room theme.
There are so many
vintage fabrics
to choose from today, produced by a number of leading UK and international interior design houses. This means if you do fancy re-decorating with a whole new décor scheme then you don't have to go out and start from scratch. Instead you can simply recover your current settee and seats, head board or lamp shade.
Leading Vintage Fabric Designers
High street favourite
Cath Kidston
is perhaps one of the best known designers of bright, cheery and colourful vintage fabrics, especially designs based on fashion at the time from the 1940s and 1950s.
Other vintage fabric designs available on our portal are from
Emily Burningham
who tends to have a 1930s arts & crafts vintage feel.
Another fashion house which specializes in vintage is former Welsh designers
(the founder of the company was the ex-husband of Laura Ashley – probably the best known vintage fabric designer – especially in the Victorian floral mould of the 1920s and 1930s - until the later advent of Cath Kidston). The following is from Elanbach's 'Something Thirties' collection:
Clarke and Clarke have also launched several vintage collections;
Modern Classics
Vintage Classics
Vintage Florals
As you can see from the above examples, vintage fabric is being used in a whole number of household textile furnishings, not simply ready made curtains or Roman blinds. You can buy vintage fabrics on the high street of course but if you want a professional look which matches your requirements exactly and fits perfectly then it's as well to have your bed spread, cushions,
vintage curtains
etc read made. At Curtains Made Simple we offer both an alterations service. Alternatively you could buy the fabric and design the items yourself, given the time and inclination.
Another of our favourite vintage fabric designers, this time with a country cottage feel to their fabrics, is Cabbages & Roses. This is their Constance fabric:
Vintage candy-striped curtains are also a fun vintage look while bright paisley print too can jazz up a room no end, particularly a bedroom. And do consider recovering the headboard to match the custom made curtains or blinds. It really adds a bit of uniqueness to your room, not to mention a nice balanced touch.
You could also recover kitchen seats too, in keeping with the look, or at least invest in matching cushions. An upholstery store will be able to advise when it comes to recovering if you don't feel confident enough yourself.
We've actually heard of some customers loving vintage fabric so much they've framed swatches of it and made it an art work on a dining room or hallway wall.

How long does it take for the skin to recovery after alarplasty? How long does it take for the redness to fade away? How big will the scar be? How long can i gain back my smile? How often will there be brusing in such surgery? Is it a must to have a debramasion after the surgery? Thanks.
Alarplasty Recovery
Doctor Answers 6
Alarplasty recovery and what to expect
It usually takes a couple of months for the alarplasty incision to heal and go through the full healing process. The amount of time it takes to heal depends upon the type of skin that is present. Darker skin tends to take longer to heal, but usually within a couple of months those incision sites are well camouflaged. It takes approximately six weeks for the smile to return once the swelling subsides. There is usually no bruising with this type of surgery since it is a very small incision at the base of the nostril. Need for dermabrasion after this type of surgery is infrequent.
Learn more: http://www.seattlefacial.com
Alarplasty usually entails some sort of tissue excision along the base of the nose. The incisions usually heal very well but there may be redness and swelling for several months.
Alar or Nostril Reduction
The healing time is limited from this procedure. Some variants of alar reduction can be healed in as little as a few days. Others, which involve incisions going into the outside of the nostril can be more like 7-10 days. Sutures are removed in 5-7 days in most cases as well.
Patients with very wide nostrils usually need the incision that goes into the outer crease of the nostril. However, I usually try to avoid it, since it can be visible, despite good surgical closure and aftercare.
I typically do not do this procedure in isolation unless it is as an adjunct to a previously performed Rhinoplasty. It usually would not be in balance unless the tip and upper part of the nose is narrowed as well. However, there are always exceptions.
Best of luck

Recovery From Alarplasty
Hi Brian,
In general, an alarplasty heals within one week. Stiches are removed day 5 to 7, the wound then heals. Redness fading varies from patient to patient, usually a few weeks. The scar is usually hidden in the nasal-alar crease and nostril floor, about 1 -2 cm. The return of your smile depends upon how happy or dissatified you are with your new nose. Patients are encouraged not to stretch the skin around the incisions (smiling) for a week. There should not be much if any bruising. Dermabrasion, but more commonly today laser skin resurfacing may be used to help minimize the appearance of the scar.
Good luck and be well.
Dr. P
Recovery after Alarplasty
Brian: Alarplasty is a very generic term. I can think of many different reasons for alarplasty and many more techniques used in alarplasty surgery. I will not even attempt to answer your question. Please submit moe details re what you're considering.
Alarplasty is a relatively simple procedure
Alarplasty can be done under local anesthesia and recovery is pretty quick. Most surgeons will leave sutures in for about a week after the procedure. After that, the incision can look a little pink but fades pretty quickly over a few weeks. You'll feel a little tight and puffy in the area for a few weeks as well but your smile should not be distorted. There really should not be any bruising. If the incisions are correctly placed near the alar crease, they invariably heal beautifully and almost invisibly. In our experience, we have not found it necessary to dermabrade the incisions.
Best of luck to you.

Digital Dice:
"All of the books by Nahin and Havil are worth having, including others not listed here. I particularly recommend Digital Dice for the task of teaching undergraduates in mathematics the fundamentals of computation and simulation."--James M. Cargal, The UMAP Journal
"Paul Nahin's Digital Dice is a marvelous book, one that is even better than his Duelling Idiots. Nahin presents twenty-one great probability problems, from George Gamow's famous elevator paradox (as corrected by Donald Knuth) to a bewildering puzzle involving two rolls of toilet paper, and he solves them all with the aid of Monte Carlo simulations and brilliant, impeccable reasoning."--Martin Gardner
"Nahin's new book is a rich source of tantalizing, real-life probability puzzles that require considerable ingenuity, and in most cases computer simulation, to solve. Though written to be delved into rather than read cover-to-cover, Digital Dice has an engaging and often witty style that makes each chapter a pleasurable read."--Keith Devlin, author of The Math Gene and The Math Instinct
"Open this delightful, matchless book to be sucked into a treasure trove of wonderful conundrums of everyday life. Then, persuaded by straightforward Monte Carlo simulation exercises, emerge refreshed, invigorated, and fully satisfied by the unique experience of learning from Nahin's marvelous Digital Dice."--Joseph Mazur, author of The Motion Paradox
"One of the strengths of Digital Dice is its wealth of historical information. Nahin carefully notes the origin of each problem and traces its history. He also tells a number of amusing anecdotes. I found all the problems interesting, especially Parrondo's Paradox. Anyone who has not met this paradox will be amazed by it! Digital Dice is a very enjoyable read."--Nick Hobson, creator of the award-winning Web site Nick's Mathematical Puzzles
"By presenting problems for which complete theoretical analysis is difficult or currently impossible, Digital Dice is a reminder that mathematics is often advanced by investigation, long before theoretical tools are brought to bear. The book's choice of problems is eclectic and interesting, and the explanations are clear and easy to read. A welcome addition to popular mathematical literature."--Julian Havil, author of Nonplussed!: Mathematical Proof of Implausible Ideas

Strawberry Cake

This was one of my mother's favorite recipes. She always had one in the freezer just in case company came. I added the strawberry glaze and it makes a lovely dessert.

I made this recipe the other day & gave half of the cake to my son & DIL, then wanted even more for myself so baked yet another one! REALLY AN OUTSTANDING CAKE & I look forward to making more to freeze! I did toast the pecans a bit before using them!

By Steve Haskin -- The latest wave of Breeders' Cup preps has hit the shore, leaving us with horses who are either one race away from the big day at Churchill Downs or going straight there off works. As of now, it looks as if there are going to be quite a few fresh horses heading to Kentucky.

The digging stick tip made from the tibia of the bison is a common artifact on sites occupied by the Plains Villages, especially of the Washita River focus. This artifact is similar to the serrated flesher, however, and may have been used as a hide flesher rather than as a digging tool. The specimens were mounted on wooden handles and exhibit a glossy polish from usage, but this could have resulted from use as either a flesher or a digging tool.
The artifact is traditionally made from the tibia or lower leg bone of the bison. This is a large and massive bone especially suited for this implement. In making the tool, the bone was trimmed to remove one joint end plus one half section of the shaft leaving a flat spade- like portion of the shaft (Figure 36a). This trimming was done with a hammerstone to provide the initial shaping of the implement. The cutting edge and final shaping of the bit section of the tool was done by rubbing and grinding with a sandstone abrader. For mounting, a large perforation was made in the unmodified end of the bone to form a socket for a wooden handle (Figure 36c'). One specimen found at the Stamper site in
Texas County still contains the charred remains of the wooden handle in the socket. It is about the diameter of a broom handle but it is not possible to tell if it was a straight or an L-shaped handle. As these implements were used, they were frequently resharpened to maintain the cutting edge. Consequently, the tools became shorter and shorter with continued usage. Specimens were sometimes broken or split in half, apparently from stress to the socket caused by the wooden handle or by strain during usage. Such broken fragments were often salvaged for making other types of bone tools.
The digging stick
tip and bison scapula hoe are two of the more common bone tools on the
Washita River focus sites. Examples of various stages in their manufacture
and usage have been recovered from excavations. The tibia and scapula
of the bison were saved as raw materials for making these tools and were
preserved for future use. A cache pit found at the Brown site in Grady
county contained several scapula and tibia bones which had been partly
trimmed for later production of these digging tools.

Your pregnancy and prenatal care
Early pregnancy
Is your pregnancy test positive? Congratulations! Immediately make an appointment with your gynecologist or midwife: this first visit is not required but it will allow you to confirm your pregnancy with a blood test and work out your estimated due date. Your doctor will conduct an examination and most likely prescribe your first blood work, mainly to check for immunity against toxoplasmosis and measles.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
Author: hughgemmell

Message Board Post:
There is a marriage recorded on http://www.familysearch.org of an Alexander Baird and Elizabeth Rae 7 Aug 1817 ALLOA, Clackmannan, Scotland and 2 Aug 1817 Polmont, Stirling, Scotland. These would be the publication of the Marriage Banns in both parishes of the bride and groom. This was the usual way of proclaiming marriages in Scotland in the pre-1855 Statutory Registration days.
I don't know whether this is your couple or not, but you mentioned Alloway in Ayrshire, which might easily be confused with Alloa in Clackmannan, unless you are sure about the former, and that Alexander and Elizabeth actually came from Ayrshire and nowhere else. Unfortunately, I could find no records for any children, but this is not uncommon in the pre-1855 era, even similarly with marriages.
You could try looking at the original OPR (Old Parish Records) images on www.ScotlandsPeople.gov.uk but often very little more information (e.g. parents' names) is given.
I don't know what more to suggest at present unless anything in the above strikes a bell. The Archives of Ontario hold all the later records after their arrival in Canada. The 1901 Census can be useful if any of their children lived to that date as it gives the date of birth (and sometimes place) and the year of immigration.
Best of luck, Hugh Gemmell

I don't think that would be doable. You don't want to download the whole
