WOOSTER -- As "Dr. Freeman Howlets" led visitors into his laboratory, he was ready to make sure they heard the "real" story of how the Melrose apple was created. Obviously, he wanted to provide a good scare to the guests who were there for a private party at the Melrose Haunted Orchard.
Michael Dhayer, who portrayed the role of Dr. Howlets, along with his friend, Joe Kennedy, were instrumental in helping to design the orchard. Both avid collectors of Halloween props and paraphernalia, the duo has been putting on a private fright house for years in Kennedy's Shreve-area barn.
"At least 40-50 percent of the props here are handmade," Kennedy said. "The whole thing was designed so that we could give back to the community, so at least with the private parties we are doing it in a small way. Everybody coming through is having a good time."
Several props also were borrowed from collector Rhett Martin, who specializes in making Ghostbusters' gear, but also had other appropriate decorations to set the scene. He spent much of his time helping volunteers get the show ready to go.
After winding their way through the barn on the orchard's property that featured 13 themed rooms filled with zombies, mummies, clowns and more, guests left with more than enough of their yearly dose of Halloween scare. There was even a room featuring an old apple press turned into a buzz saw, with the far-off odor of manure lingering in the air, just to "help set the mood," Kennedy said.
Over three nights, volunteers donned make-up, costumes and other props to bring the Haunted Orchard alive for invitation-only crowds, free of charge. But what had been planned to be a money-making fundraiser for the Wooster Fireworks Foundation and YMCA didn't become a reality because of a variance issue in the city. Initially the city granted a variance allowing the orchard event to take place, but the variance was contested by a neighbor of the Portage Road property. Organizer Bret Defibaugh filed an appeal with the city's Board of Building and Zoning Appeals, but eventually withdrew it, ending hopes of having the orchard being open to the public.
So instead, about 900 people -- students, parents, people involved with the YMCA and volunteers -- were invited to walk through the barn free of charge on three nights.
Haunted Orchard committee member Gil Ning, also president of the Wooster Fireworks Foundation, said although it was disappointing to not be able to open the barn to the public, those involved with putting it together were still more than satisfied with the outcome of what they had done.
"Watching the committee, especially Mike and Joe, do the creativity of the actual house, was just amazing," Ning said. "Then to actually have the inspectors from the city come in and OK everything, move the stuff from Joe's barn to the orchard, build the walls, seeing this thing, creating it -- that's the thrill of everything. We took this barn that had nothing and turned it into this."
Although the financial goal of the committee was not met, it was still able to give back to the community -- which was really what it had wanted to do all along.
"Our initial mission was to provide giving back to the community -- that's all we wanted to do," Ning said. "We didn't give back monetarily but we feel we gave back not in money but in entertainment, and that is satisfying to everyone. Now we know that it can be a hit. Now we have to just seek other options. We know the success and acceptance is there so it can be done now."
Members of the committee are happy they were able to provide some good, clean fun to those who were able to attend this year's Haunted Orchard.
"It was fun to bring the old barn back to code and life, as it was much needed," Defibaugh said. "Anytime you can give back to your community in any way is exciting. We haven't gotten any bad reviews and are still getting calls about how great it was. As far as next year, everything is still up in the air. Wooster has no variances or codes for something like this, which is sad for a community our size. But we are going to see what we can do because it could have done a lot of good for our community."

Politics as usual in the city of Wooster. Bend the rules and make exceptions for members of the "brown bag one thousand."
It was great! They did a wonderful job with it. The site was perfect for it. The neighbor who complained is a juvenile probation officer - so you'd think he'd be concerned with fun things for kids that will keep them out of trouble. And before Mindy Cavin jumps on here and say it wasn't legal, she is correct. The property wasn't zoned correctly for it, which the committee thought was the whole point of getting the variance. Hopefully they will find a place outside of the city limits to have it next year. And MikeNugent74 - the whole point of the project was to raise more money for the fireworks to make them better than Orrville's.
First off shame on the city for approving something that violated the building and zoning laws in the first place. Don't have the rules and only apply them to some people!! From the looks of these pictures a lot of work and expense was put into this project. My family had planned to attend and looks like a great time would of been had by all. I am curious why Mr. Russell decided to put up a stink about this event. I really want his story because I feel bad for being angry with him about it. Maybe he doesn't celebrate Halloween? Maybe he gets sick of building and zoning choosing when to apply the code?
I would have loved to have taken my children to the Haunted Orchard. Yep 1 bad apple ruined it for everyone. I heard it was a neighbor who works w/ children too, that was mad about it. That is too sad, all the fun there could have been for area children.
Heck, they were even giving the proceeds back to the community. YMCA is a great activity for children throughout the area. And everyone knows the Wooster fireworks could use all the help they can get- CRAP. I haven't been to them in many years. 5 min. of all white fireworks. BOOOOOO There was the Holloween and wooster fireworks connection. Next year go to Orrville, they'll let you do the haunted house. give them the money for fireworks, 1000 times better then wooster
Too bad this wasn't able to open so many good things could have been the outcome, but I guess the old saying "it only takes one bad apple" really fits in this case!

The 'Trance' star will play a woman who crosses path with blind lawyer Matt Murdock and forever alters the course of his battle against injustice.
Netflix's "Daredevil" series has added another star to its cast ensemble. The show has cast Rosario Dawson in a recurring role as a "dedicated young woman whose quest to heal the wounds of Hell's Kitchen brings Matt Murdock unexpectedly crashing into her life, while her own journey forever alters the course of his battle against the injustices of this broken city."
Jeph Loeb, Marvel's head of television, says in a statement announcing the her casting, "Rosario Dawson is one the most charismatic, talented and powerful actresses in Hollywood, so she was always at the top of our list for Marvel's Daredevil. Her role in the series is absolutely critical to Matt Murdock's journey to become the hero we know as Daredevil."
Dawson joins Charlie Cox, who lands the titular role a.k.a. the blind lawyer Murdock, and Vincent D'Onofrio, who is tapped to portray villainous Wilson Fisk a.k.a. The Kingpin.
Steven S. DeKnight has been tapped to replace Drew Goddard as showrunner, but Goddard will still be credited as executive producer and consultant. Filming is scheduled to take place this summer in New York for a 2015 premiere.
Dawson's big screen credits include "Sin City", "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief", "Unstoppable", "Zookeeper" and "Trance". She will reprise her role as Gail in "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" due out in U.S. theaters on August 22.

A$AP Rocky Talks Illuminati, God + Rihanna With WBLK [VIDEO]
Rapper A$AP Rocky sat down with Redd Roxx, Lady K and me for an intimate interview last week when he was in town. You have to see the videos inside to believe the stuff that came out his mouth!!
Disclaimer: I was never a big fan/follower of the A$AP movement. So my questions to A$AP Rocky are genuine. Some of his answers, however, are a complete contradiction to the truth.
For example, he admits to having a girlfriend in a radio interview in LA (listen to the Soundcloud below at 1:52), then three days later in Buffalo, he says, "F that, I'm single when I'm on the road."
In this next interview clip, I ask A$AP about the significance of his ad-libs and the Illuminati. Notice the body language when he talks about his relationship with God. Now only God can judge him, but if he is a God-fearing man, why does he promote Santanic Images in his self-directed music videos??
On a lighter note….ReddRoxx and Lady K asked the Harlem native about the New New York Movement.
And here's the conclusion:
After meeting Rakim, he is really a nice guy. But after listening to his debut album, Long Live A$AP, and seeing his odd performance at the Diamonds World Tour concert, I believe he is yet another black artist who's strings are being pulled by the powers that be for an evil — shall I say demonic — purpose. But hey, to each his own.
Long Live A$AP is in stores now.

I joined Spreagadh Na Rince almost 2 years ago, this was one of the best decisions I have ever made. ...
Having danced with Spreagadh na Rince since the school started I have experienced the dedication the teachers have to their students. They have a passion for Irish dancing which they love to share.

Spreagadh is a wonderful Irish dance school. My son and daughter have been going for the last few years. The teachers are great and the community and inclusive spirit of the seniors, juniors and all the parents is wonderful. I would thoroughly recommend the school
My daughter has been involved with Spreagadh for 18 months now and we could not be happier.

In the garden
By Patty Campbell, Special to the Citizen 09/27/12
Fall is the time to plant perennials including herbs. Because some favorites like basil and parsley are annuals planted in the spring, it's easy to forget that many herbs can be planted in the fall and enjoyed until Thanksgiving, or if the weather is mild like last year, all winter long. And herbs can always be planted in pots and brought inside.
"Now is a very good time to get perennial herbs in the ground," says Nicole Schermerhorn, co-owner of A Thyme to Plant at Lavender Fields Herb Farm. "It's cool enough that you want to be outside working in your garden, but still warm enough for the herbs."
"Typically we're also getting enough rain at this time of the year," adds Schermerhorn, "and you're home from vacation now so you can take care of your herbs and begin using them."
Hardy perennials to plant now include rosemary, sage, thyme, chives, fennel, mints, and parsley. The fennel and the mint will die back over the winter but come back in the spring.
"Planting now allows the herbs to establish roots over the winter," says Schermerhorn. "They'll flush out new growth in the spring."
Herbs can be planted in dedicated herb gardens, mixed with vegetables, or added to flower beds and borders. Their various textures and colors can be very attractive, and many people enjoy putting fragrant herbs along walks or driveways where they can easily be touched to release their scents. Culinary herbs should be planted near your kitchen so that harvesting them is easy and convenient. You'll use them more often.
In choosing a site, remember that most herbs require full sun, from 4 to 6 hours a day minimum, good drainage, and good air circulation. Good drainage is so important that Schermerhorn recommends planting herbs in raised beds.
"Clay soil," she says, "does not provide good drainage." She recommends a planting medium of one-third organic matter such as compost, one-third topsoil, and one-third builders' sand.
"Make sure it's builders' sand," says Schermerhorn. "It won't compact like play sand so it adds drainage."
Don't mulch herbs. "We put a handful of organic compost around our plants to dress them up and improve the soil," says Schermerhorn.
"Herbs do not like wet feet, and all mulch does in winter is keep their feet wet."
In fact, most herbs are considered drought-tolerant, though some moisture is needed during dry spells to keep the plants growing. In general, annuals require more moisture than perennials.
Herbs also don't require much fertilizer. Over-fertilizing an herb can produce growth that is too rapid, making the plant more susceptible to disease or insect problems and diluting the concentration of essential oils that produce the taste in culinary herbs. Herbs in pots are the exception. They should be lightly fertilized once a month during their growing season.
Using your herbs is important to keeping them healthy. Evergreen herbs can be cut and enjoyed in recipes or vases all winter.
"Herbs are designed to be used," says Schermerhorn. "Cutting them encourages new growth, so keep using your herbs."

I have silicone nodules still in my armpit. I recently had seven nodules and two lymph nodes out, and now several more now in my armpit! Who should I go to? What doctor should I go to after I have done four surgeries in my left breast? Can all the silicone be removed out of me? MRI revealed several in armpit and one in the middle left over from a ruptured silicone breast implant. Any idea as to why the surgeon didn't get it all out? My surgery in 2007 was three hours long and a drain placed in me afterwards. She wouldn't take me seriously when I said was experiencing soreness and pain in my armpit. Help!
Silicone Nodules in Armpit from Ruptured Implant
Doctor Answers 9
You can't always get all of the silicone out
Sometimes it is not pssible to remove all of the extravasated gel, especially in cases like yours where the rupture was extracapsular and the gel escaped into the tissues. Your lymph nodes keep trying to trap it and those that can be safely removed can be excised.
Some of the nodes, however, get dangerously close to vital structures in your armpit like major nerves and blood vessles. In this case, it is NOT safe to try to remove them. They have been shown to not cause you any health problems, so sometimes the best plan is to remove what you can safely and leave the rest.

Silicone Nodules following ruptured implant
Silicone nodules are removed surgically typically when they are symptomatic, are growing, or causing problems not just because they are seen on a MRI scan. It is often impossible to remove all traces of silicone because it is widely distributed and would potential cause harm to important structures as well as deformity and other problems. Weighing pros vs cons, risks and benefits are often difficult in this situation. I recommend that you have a lengthy conversation with a board certified plastic surgeon and if necessary seek a secondary consultation.
Silicone in Armpit
Hi there-
I'm sorry to hear about your problem. I'm sure you are worrying about this...
The good news is that there is no medical reason to worry that the silicone that remains in your armpit will ever cause you a health concern. Silicone is inert and won't harm you.
The more difficult detail is that when this happens (free silicone collecting in the axillae), there is no way to completely remove it. We are able to remove involved lymph nodes when they are able to be felt, and accessible, if they are causing a local problem, but otherwise, most patients like yourself (and there are many) will always retain a bit of the silicone in the tissues... Again, this should never cause you any problem.
You might also like...
Remember, silicone is not going to harm you.
In New York, we have seen at least 2 dozen breast augmentation patients similar to you. Here are some facts:
1) It has been scientifically shown that silicone does not cause any diseases. Therefore, it is not necessary to remove every last bit of silicone from your body.
2) Even if you want it all removed, it may not be possible without creating a deformity in your breast or your axilla.
3) Sometimes it is impossible to remove all the silicone under any circumstances, because it is embedded in the tissues.
4) It is really unlikely that silicone in a lymph node would cause a lot of pain.
Go see a breast surgeon (not a plastic surgeon) for an evaluation. The good news is that the new breast implants don't do this, because the gel is very cohesive and stays in place.
? Remove the silicone nodules
You really have to weigh the risks and benefits of the decision to remove the nodules/nodes, since there are risks with any surgery. Since the silicone is trapped by the lymph nodes in your armpit, then it requires removing this tissue. Removing this tissue is not without consequences. Make sure you have a long discussion with your surgeon before proceeding with any procedure. Good luck.
Silicone granuloma removal: How much is enough?
Sorry to hear about your predicament. Silicone implants have been reengineered significantly, since their development in the mid-60's. Generally, the manufacturers have made the gel "stickier" or cohesive. The implication for the patient is that in the event that the external shell fails, the filler doesn't travel all over the place. However if you had a significant chest trauma, which caused your implants to leak, the gel could still have been dislodged. The body is a remarkable system, which works to "contain" foreign particles, such as free silicone, either in "lumps" called granulomas or by moving free floating particles along to the regional lymph nodes, where they become apparent as "knots" in the armpits, groins, neck, etc.
Many plastic surgeons have taken care of patients who have had the older generation implants which failed and may have developed these lumps. The management is usually based on how many symptoms they cause. In your case, the pain you are experiencing may be a necessary and sufficient reason to operate, however as the other consultants have outlined, it is important to realize that every operation has some risk. The armpit is an interesting structure which contains many important nerves, blood vessels and lymphatics. It would be advisable to select a surgeon who is familiar with the anatomy but you stil run the risk of numbness, damage to blood vessels and swelling of the entire arm, if the lymphatic system is damaged. The latter condition, lymphedema is really difficult to manage and irreversible. Ask your family physician or local medical society for a referral to a breast oncoplastic surgeon. Good luck.
Silicone in armpits
This can happen when it is trapped by lymph nodes in your axilla. If it is really bothering you, you can have some of it removed, but probably not all of it. If your plastic surgeon does not feel comfortable doing it, then you can probably go to a breast surgeon( cancer surgeon) to see if he/she would do a dissection in your axilla to remove them.
Silicone adenopathy
Generally after a rupture of silicone gel implant, one that is extracapsular as in your case, it is impossible to removal all the gel. Usually this does not cause complications and surgery to remove all of the gel can be more disfiguring and disabling than leaving the gel alone. If you can easily palpate the nodules and they are not merely an MRI finding, then ones that are symptomatic might be easily removed if they are accessible. A plastic surgeon can do this with or without the assistance of a general surgeon.
Silicone nodules in the armpit and soft tissue
Silicone nodules in the armpit and soft tissue of the chest can occur after migration and lymphatic progression of silicone particles. This is a reflection of the implant rupture and the viscosity of the silicone in your implant rather than the technique of your correcting reconstructive surgeon. It is very difficult to entirely remove all the silicone in some cases, while in other cases of silicone rupture it can be quite easy and straightforward.
I would address these nodules individually as they arise as there is no single definitive surgery that will address all the silicone in your body at once.

Defending Helen Of Troy - Poem by gershon hepner
Though Helen of Troy appears most overamorous
to people condemning the way she left Men-
elaus for Paris, who found her more glamorous-
launching thousands of ships because she was a ten-
the Greeks would have recognized she was obeying
this imperative taught to her by Aphrodite:
follow love always, for any gainsaying
of sex is immoral, and in no way flighty.
She followed arete, not virtue, the ex-
cellence coming from acting in closest accord
with what the gods tell you. If they say, "Have sex, "
you have to obey or be fatally bored.
Arete (ἀρετή) , in its basic sense, means excellence of any kind. In its earliest appearance in Greek, this notion of excellence was ultimately bound up with the notion of the fulfillment of purpose or function: the act of living up to one's full potential. Sometimes translated as 'virtue, ' the word actually means something closer to 'being the best you can be, ' or 'reaching your highest human potential.' Arete in ancient Greek culture was courage and strength in the face of adversity and it was to what all people aspired.
Eric Ormbsy ("The God Return, " WSJ,12/31/10) reviews All Things Shining, by Hubert Dreyfus and Sean Dorrance Kelly:
For the ancient Greeks, the universe was filled with shining presences that reflected the passing moods of the gods. Each god had a privileged sphere: Mars presided over war, Aphrodite over sexual love, Hera over the hearth; Zeus was the lord of all the gods, the hurler of thunderbolts from on high; and so on for the entire rowdy pantheon. It has long been customary to dismiss these gods as mere stage presences, as convenient explanations for random catastrophes or as fall guys for human motives. Helen caused the Trojan War but, hey, 'golden Aphrodite' made her do it.
The authors of 'All Things Shining' will have none of this. Though both are professional philosophers—Hubert Dreyfus at Berkeley and Sean Dorrance Kelly at Harvard—they view the ancient Homeric gods as hidden presences still susceptible of invocation. Indeed, they hold out 'Homeric polytheism' as a solution to the 'lostness' of the contemporary world. They begin by stating that 'the world doesn't matter to us the way it used to.' They are concerned to elucidate why this may be so. But this is no bland academic exercise. 'All Things Shining' is an inspirational book but a highly intelligent and impassioned one. The authors set out to analyze our contemporary nihilism the better to remedy it….
The authors' general theme, and lament, is that we are no longer 'open to the world.' We fall prey either to 'manufactured confidence' that sweeps aside all obstacles or to a kind of addictive passivity, typified by 'blogs and social networking sites.' Both are equally unperceptive. By contrast, the Homeric hero is keenly aware of the outside world; indeed, he has no interior life at all. His emotions are public, and they are shared; he lives in a community of attentiveness. He aspires to what in Greek is termed 'areté, ' not 'virtue, ' as it is usually translated, but that peculiar 'excellence' that comes from acting in accord with the divine presence, however it may manifest itself.
Thus Helen of Troy may have been a bewitching casus belli—and her elopement with Paris may have led to the deaths of thousands—but in fact she was acting with areté; she showed herself to be in close attunement with Aphrodite, who demanded an obedience not only to herself but to the imperatives of the heart. The Greeks, including Helen's wronged husband, Menelaus, ultimately admired Helen for her amorousness. To condemn her for immorality, as later commentators and modern scholars have done, is to misunderstand the distinctive values of the ancient Greeks.

Hall: Learn to embrace 'neighborhood theology'
September 14, 2013
Across the United States, the first Tuesday of August is selected as an annual celebration of neighborhoods along with best practices and local services available to nurture overall community well-being. This event is known as National Night Out. The Scott-Epples neighborhood hosts the intergenerational celebration at Swanson Kiwanis Park, usually offering multicultural music, food, games and arts for children. This neighborhood is diverse in many ways, such as socioeconomically, education, age, family types, language, ethnicity, belief systems (e.g. faith traditions) and culture. This is a very proud group!
In the city of Greeley, many neighborhoods participate in this fun and glorious event regardless of one's station in life. I have been a spokeswoman for the Scott-Epples Neighborhood Watch that was formed about 10 years ago when residents noticed shifting of the home ownership, greater percentage of mobile families and a concern for certain areas within the neighborhood experiencing challenges that affect historically marginalized persons and working poor. One example comes to mind, the lack of adult supervision for minor children often due to increased pressures for adults to obtain substantial work while maintaining a healthy home.
Through our neighborhood watch, we learned each other's names, where they lived, concerns and challenges faced, and their intention to improve neighborhood connection where there's a sense of "looking out" for one another. Over the years, beloved neighbors have died, moved on; and new folks have moved in. We extend warm hospitality with a genuine welcome and inform new neighbors about our group.
This group loves and appreciates one another, and we have grown to encourage surrounding neighborhoods to do similar in forming a neighborhood watch group. We've kept community gardens, donated items for a "Harvest Party" and yard sale, and have proactively and actively participated in National Night Out for the past eight years!
Why the usage of "Neighborhood Theology?" I decided to write and share the benefits of honoring and revering one another's humanity through neighborhood connections. For this neighborhood, there's been a discovery of re-humanizing societal pressures to dehumanize one another. In other words, "Neighborhood Theology" comes from an understanding of living and being in covenantal beloved community expressed in many faith traditions, including Christian Scripture. The greatest humanitarian-theologian of our time, Rev. Dr. King, beautifully expressed and modeled covenantal beloved community with sharing a way of life as agape love.
National Night Out then becomes the pinnacle of celebration for being a relational and connected neighborhood in a manner to actually "live out" and be the spiritual or religious principles so many profess as their core faith.
I have witnessed immediate transformation of people and families invited to share in the festivities involved with National Night Out. I would suggest that this transformation is due to the inclusivity, hospitality and grace this neighborhood genuinely shows to all who are willing to come and join our "common union" (communion). Further, this neighborhood being a microcosm of covenantal beloved community emanates outside to the macrocosm beyond geographic or family home. It is a model of best practices to co-create a sense of "heaven on earth!" Shalom.

80p was found by digging up with the shovel, and 500p from the chest, which adds to our total of 37700, and if ur wondering how i got so much, its because i go onto tamatown with Bee and we play ring toss till we get 9900 gotchi points, its very easy, and with that weve saved it until something nice comes to the shop to buy. ANYWAY, we better go, we need to go to tamatown and visit Fuji (bee's tamagotchi mummy) and play some games before its his bedtime,

HAUPPAUGE, NY -- Legislators here passed a local law on July 30 to establish healthy food standards at public facilities in Long Island's Suffolk County, NY. The National Automatic Merchandising Association said it is concerned that compliance with the new rules will be difficult.
The first public hearing on the restrictions introduced by Suffolk County Long Island Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) was held in March. | READ MORE
The rules apply to all county contracts for food and beverages at concession stands, cafeterias and vending machines on property owned by Suffolk County. The resolution also includes a provision requiring caloric information for each item based on the size of the package for sale. The language does not stipulate how this information would be provided by the operator or enforced by the municipality.
"NAMA's government affairs division was in contact with the sponsoring legislator, Kara Hahn, asking for time to meet before the vote," said NAMA senior vice-president of government affairs Eric Dell. "However, the vote went forward on restrictions on vended product sales with language that makes compliance very difficult, if not impossible."
He emphasized that the industry has worked to offer constructive solutions for healthy choices in vending in other states and municipalities and through NAMA's Fit Pick nutrition program. "We would still welcome the opportunity to work with Suffolk County on the implementation and enforcement of this new law," he said.
NAMA said it is partnering with other food and beverage industry leaders impacted by this local law to pursue further discussions with Suffolk County leaders.

Karaka Sale Concludes With Numbers Up
Steady trade over three days at New Zealand Bloodstock's select yearling sale moved key market indicators ahead of last year as the auction wrapped up Jan. 31 at Karaka.
Overall, 416 horses sold for total receipts of $19,224,000 (US$15,527,524), up 11.4% from last year's sale, and average price improved 6.9% to $46,212 ($37,341). Median price was steady $35,000 ($28,273).
The clearance rate of 75% rose from 71%.
Ten horses sold for $150,000 ($121,290) or more, compared with five in 2013, and 42 brought $100,000 ($80,852) or more, 13 more than last year.
The overall highest price of $200,000 ($163,407) came on day two Jan. 30 when Goodwood Stud's Savabeel colt sold to John Cameron, NZB's international sales manager, for an unnamed Hong Kong client.
The colt's extended family includes Canadian Horse of the Year Fanfreluche, dam of two-time Canadian Horse of the Year L'Enjoleur and champions Medaille d'Or and La Voygeuse.
Waikato Stud resident Savabeel was the leading sire by aggregate, with 27 horses sold for $1,554,000 ($1,256,234).
The top-priced yearling at the third and final session was a Brighthill Farm colt by Cambridge Stud's recently pensioned sire Zabeel that sold for $160,000 ($129,212). The youngster out of the Al Maher mare Al Shamekha was bought by agent John Foote for Queenland-based client Ian McCauley, and is potentially the final horse by his champion sire to be offered at Karaka.
"This colt is a good horse; he's a strong Zabeel, well-developed with a deep girth and Ian was determined to buy him," Foote said of the session topper, whose family includes group I winners Chimes of Freedom and Denon.
The leading first-season sire by average was Waikato Stud's Paco Boy. The son of Desert Style was represented by eight yearlings sold at an average of $61,750 ($49,880), placing him third among the overall leading sires in the category. Finishing a close second among first-season sires was Rich Hill Stud's Shocking. Twenty-four yearlings by the son of Street Cry (IRE) were sold for an average of $61,646 ($49,812).
White Robe Lodge resident Raise the Flag, a son of Sadler's Wells out of elite broodmare Hasili, was the sale's leading sire by average (three or more sold) at $86,667 ($70,057). His oldest offspring are 2-year-olds.
Second on the list is Waikato Stud's champion sire O'Reilly, with eight sold for an average of $73,625 ($59,515).

Esmaeil Kowsari, a former Sepah commander says if the American surveillance drone captured in Eastern Iran was a military airplane, Tehran would attack all the American bases in the region and beyond.
According to a report by Fars news agency on Friday (December 9), Mr. Kowsari has warned the international societies "if the American American surveillance drones enter Iranian borders once more, Tehran will overwhelmingly respond".
According to this member of Iranian parliament, "if the Americans enter the Iranian borders by their military airplanes, we would allow ourselves to target the American military bases round the world"
Kowsari has added that "we have repeatedly said that if any country attack our borders, our defense will not be limited to any geographical region".
As the media of the Islamic Republic claim, the American surveillance drone has captured in eastern Iran in an unspecified time.
The Islamic Republic says that this drone has been captured by an electronic operation, but the American officials say that the drone has been collapsed due to a technical deficit.
The tensions among America, Israel and the west on one hand and the Islamic Republic on the other hand has increased considerably during last months.
Meanwhile some reports have been published implying the readiness of Israel to attack Iran but the military commanders of the Islamic Republic have responded seriously to such reports.

When the latest batch of Star Wars merchandise hit the shelves of Toys R Us a battalion of fans dressed as Storm Troopers raided the store, scooping up armfuls of loot.
"They just grabbed it all and then sorted out what they wanted afterwards," said the company's merchandising boss, John Redenbach.
A vicious lightsaber fight later broke out in the car park of the Moore Park outlet. Such was the fans' frenzy for next instalment of the Star Wars saga, Attack of the Clones.
At least Mr Redenbach had some idea of what to expect after the launch of the last Star Wars adventure, The Phantom Menace, three years ago.
"First you get the collectors ... they come in and look for anything rare, anything with a flaw on it, like coin collectors," he said.
When the collectors have stripped the shops of the items they want the next wave of custom comes from the kids who have seen the film.
Naturally the collectors don't play with their toys, they don't even take them out of their boxes. A quick look at the online auction site Ebay - which has almost 40,000 Star Wars lots - explains why.
There you can buy yourself a vintage Star Wars action figure by the name of Yak Face for only $1500. The ad proclaims: "This beauty, which was never released in the US, is mint on a beautiful unpunched card ... as is common with these figures the [plastic] bubble is immoderately yellowed."
The proud owner of one the most valuable "carded" three-and-quarter-inch Star Wars figurine in Australia - an obscure Return of the Jedi character called Weequay - is Sergeant Dax Riley of the Australian Army.
Though he admits he cops a "little ribbing" at work, Sergeant Riley is happy to devote his time to the care of his collection, which is insured for $30,000, and to his roll as business affairs manager of Starwalking, the Star Wars Appreciation Society of Australia.
"It's nostalgia mainly," he explains. "I collected when I was a kid, but then I sold it all off when I thought I grew up."
That was when he was 16. But then in 1995, at 25, Sergeant Riley was bitten by the bug again when new Star Wars novels and toys started appearing in stores.
Like many collectors he passed on The Phantom Menace merchandise, part of a backlash against a perceived glut of licensed products. "You can still buy some of that stuff in shops," he says with a hint of disdain.
The word among the fans is that director George Lucas has done things right this time, licensing half as many products and ensuring they are strictly film related - no Star Wars curtains this time around.
Sergeant Riley says: "I swore I wasn't going to buy any this time around ... but I've already got around six figures, the quality is just too good."
Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones is released on May 16.

Overnight, stocks were up… a lot.
And gold was down… a lot.
Why? Has the world changed? Have central bankers figured out the perfect solution to fixing the global economy and financial system?
Er, no. The Financial Times (FT) reports:
"The world's main central banks took bold concerted action to pre-empt a looming dollar funding crisis in Europe, sparking a rally in Eurozone bank shares and the euro."
If we didn't know better we'd say the FT has turned into the Central Bankers' press office.
But that wasn't the only big news to hit the market. In fact, in terms of column inches across the two biggest financial newspapers – the FT and Wall Street Journal (WSJ) – another story made a bigger splash.
It was news that Mr. Kweku Adoboli, a trader at Swiss banking giant, UBS, had racked up a USD$2 billion "rogue trading" loss for the bank.
Forget five central banks bailing out Europe (again). Instead, the financial press decided to devote most of their journalistic talent on… finding out what Mr. Adoboli had written on his Facebook page!
But to us, the bigger story is the coincidence of Mr. Adoboli's alleged crime and the central bank intervention occurring on the same day. OK, let's just say it: it's not a coincidence…
The market needs any diversionary tactics it can get. But diversions from what? Well, let's check out the deal struck by the five central banks? The WSJ notes:
"The action addresses an acute shortage of dollar availability as U.S. lenders withhold funds out of concern that the European banking system is overexposed to the region's government-debt crisis."
In other words, even the corrupt U.S. banks have more sense than to lend money to Europe's zombie banks. It proves that things must be bad.
And why should they lend to Europe. They know there's no need to risk their own capital when central banks have shown they'll bail out any bank at the drop of a hat.
Proof of that is in the following quote from the WSJ:
"On Wednesday, the ECB [European Central Bank] said two banks had tapped it for $575 million, only the second time in six months that the ECB had doled out dollar funding. The names of banks that tap the ECB are kept confidential."
So, three years after the financial world almost collapsed… the financial world is still almost collapsing.
As Slipstream Trader, Murray Dawes wrote in a note to your editor this morning:
"It looks like the world's financial system was closer to the edge of oblivion than even I thought. In the end this is another case of 'kicking the can down the road'. But the fact is you can't solve a solvency crisis with liquidity. If Greece brought Europe this close to the edge I hate to think what's coming next. My advice: use this rally to get out of risk assets. If you don't there's a chance you'll regret it!"
We can always rely on Murray to get to the point on these things.
The banks are in trouble. But the authorities don't want you focusing on it. So, on queue comes the diversion… Mr. Adoboli.
But that's not the only coincidence. When looking for a fall guy, it's important they pick on a guy based in Europe. This is because white collar fraud typically attracts softer sentences than U.S. white collar fraud.
For instance, Société Généralé "rogue trader", Jerome Kerviel lost USD$7 billion for his bank from the Paris office. Last year he was sentenced to five years jail.
Now compare that to Lance Poulsen, CEO of National Century Financial Enterprises. His firm collapsed in 2002. Here's the judgement from the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit:
"The district court sentenced Poulsen to 360 months [30 years] in prison to run concurrently with the sentence in the Obstruction Case [sentenced to 10 years prison]."
Mr. Poulsen was accused – and convicted – of a USD$2.8 billion fraud… and is off to jail for 30 years.
Or how about recently convicted insider trader, Raj Rajaratnum.
He's due for sentencing next week. His hedge fund made over USD$60 million from insider trading. Odds are he'll get a sizeable sentence – a recent case involving a USD$10 million insider trading profit, saw the accused get a five-and-a-half year jail sentence.
Prosecutors in the Rajaratnum case are gunning for a 20-year plus sentence!
What we're saying is, if the banks are going to offer up a sacrificial trader… make sure he or she works in Europe. Because odds are they'll get a soft sentence and be out before the next Rugby World Cup comes round.
And that way, the banks' top brass can sleep a bit easier knowing their fall guy only has a couple of years of playing dodge in the showers.
But really, what this coordinated central banker/rogue trader story is about is the masking of more banking bailouts… more taxpayer dollars going on the line… and the continued devaluation of paper currencies.
Think about it. Who really understands what the central banks have done… not the average man in the street… and we'll guess the hot-shots on Wall Street or Collins Street don't get it either.
All the market needs to know is the central banks are doing something. But they don't want the market knowing too much. Hence the convenient appearance of a rogue trading "beard".
The fact is we can't get a claim paid for a $2 newspaper without our office manager boxing us about the ears asking for a receipt!
So to expect us to believe that a trader at one of the world's biggest financial institutions could trade billions of losses without the deficit appearing on a profit and loss, or position statement somewhere… well, put it this way, it's not likely.
We're right with Murray Dawes on this one. The market is on the edge. And ironically, we also agree with Geoffrey Yu, director of foreign exchange at… UBS. He told the WSJ:
"This [central bank intervention] doesn't change anything. It helps the banks for the next couple of months, but that's it."
In short: stocks have rallied, gold's been slammed. That means it's time to sell one and buy the other.

Public witness and Catholic citizenship
Public witness on issues of public concern is natural for Catholics because we have a commitment to the common good and to the dignity of each human person. Those two pillars -- the common good and the dignity of every human person -- come right out of Scripture. They underpin all of Catholic social thought. That includes politics. Politics is where the competing moral visions of a society meet and struggle. And since a large majority of American citizens are religious believers, it makes sense for people and communities of faith to bring their faith into the public square.
As a result, if we believe that a particular issue is gravely evil and damaging to society, then we have a duty, not just a religious duty but also a democratic duty, to hold accountable the candidates who want to allow that evil. Failing to do so is an abuse of responsibility on our part, because that's where we exercise our power as citizens most directly -- in the voting booth.
The "separation of Church and state" can never mean that religious believers should be silent about legislative issues, the appointment of judges or public policy. It's not the job of the Church to sponsor political candidates. But it's very much the job of the Church to guide Catholics to think and act in accord with their faith.
So since this is an election year, here are a few simple points to remember as we move toward November.

Dallas will play Cincinnati on Sunday and the players are still trying to process the events that transpired. "It's too soon to talk about it," Albright said in the lobby of the team hotel. Albright said he and his teammates are trying to steady themselves after the terrible news they received this morning. But Albright admitted that it won't be easy to forget about a tragedy that sent shockwaves through the organization and the NFL. "You can't really describe it. It's difficult," he said. "You never expect anything like this to happen and then it does, we don't really have any experience with this and we're just trying to handle it the best we can."

Yes it shows how little you have done, the RAF moving Australia or the Island of Gan is a myth. There is no evidence of it in the public records office of such event happening. That you believe this silly myth that has spread across the aviation blogosphere is rather unedifying.
So if there is no memo saying Polaris was the reason for CVA01 cancellation and a huge body of evidence stating otherwise we have to believe your hunch? Stroll on! Polaris came out of central budgeting not what was allocated to the navy.
Look I'm wasting my breath, I tried to be respectful of a different opinion all you are clearly interested in is finding a sacrificial lamb to bring up fleet numbers and are making up all sorts of tosh to back your idea.

Z's Heaney hurls six-inning one-hitter
Top Marlins prospect tosses first pro shutout in rain-shortened win
By Josh Jackson / MiLB.com | May 28, 2014 1:29 AM ET
Top Marlins prospect Andrew Heaney has thrown just 11 innings at the Triple-A level, but he's seen enough to know pick up on the differences between the Pacific Coast League and the Southern League.
"You're not going to get away with hardly any mistakes up here," he said. "You can set yourself up to get away with mistakes if you make right pitches in the right situation, but it's not going to happen very often."
Heaney, baseball's No. 25 prospect overall, didn't make any mistakes Tuesday. He threw six innings of one-hit ball to earn his first career shutout in New Orleans' rain-shortened 9-0 win at Round Rock's Dell Diamond.
"It felt really good. I had everything working for me, and it was a nice night for me," said the 22-year-old lefty. "I just felt good."
Heaney (1-0) struck out seven without walking a batter and threw 55 of his 78 pitches for strikes. In his prior PCL start, he went five innings without a base on balls, and he walked 13 over 53 2/3 Double-A innings this season.
"[My command]'s been a big help lately. I've really put a lot of emphasis on pounding the strike zone lately," he said. "You don't ever want to give up walks, but I've been working to not give in on 3-1 or 3-2. I want to make guys beat me. You try and stay out of deep counts, but they are going to happen sometimes. It's OK to let them beat me, but not beat myself."
The lone hit Heaney surrendered -- a single by the Express' Bryan Petersen -- came in the third at-bat of the game. Heaney has no regrets about the 1-1 offering Peterson lined back up the middle.
"I made a decent pitch," he said. "It just wasn't good enough and the guy put a good swing on it."
Heaney, whom the Marlins drafted out of Oklahoma State with the ninth overall pick in the 2012 Draft, then retired 16 in a row. He struck out the side in the fourth and the first batter of the fifth.
He was poised to continue working in the seventh when a heavy rain prevented him from making a pitch in the inning.
"Earlier, it was just kind of maybe a tiny drizzle. But even then, it wasn't really raining," he said. "At the end of our half of the inning and when I got out to the mound, it was just spitting a little bit. Then it starting coming down hard."
After a delay of over 30 minutes, the game was called.
Heaney will head into his next start with an 0.82 ERA and an awareness, but not a fear, that eventually he will make a mistake.
"It's not just if you leave a fastball over the plate. It's if you leave the changeup up or don't get the right movement on the slider," he said. "And they're not just going to poke it for a single. They're going to hammer it out. It's bound to happen. It's not like I'm escaping it. All I can do is keep executing pitches."
Third-ranked Marlins prospect Jake Marisnick singled to extend his hitting streak to nine games. Juan Diaz was a triple shy of the cycle with two RBIs and two runs scored.

About MeHey! My name is Sigal.
I recently graduated from UCSB with a degree in Economics and Accounting. I now work as a Financial Analyst. I love novelty, have traveled quite a lot of the world in my 22 years, and speak three languages fluently (French, Hebrew, English).
I am relatively new to modeling, but I have always been fascinated with the industry. My goals are simply to improve as a model and gain knowledge and experience wherever possible. New places, new people, and new ideas are what drive me to succeed. I would like to book jobs that pay, but I'm open to doing TFCD shoots if I like your port and you like my look!
I'm currently not willing to pose nude or in images that are intended to be overly erotic, but I am very comfortable with my body and would shoot swimwear/lingerie/implied nude if done artistically and tastefully. I particularly like glamour, vintage, body paint, swimwear, and fitness. If there is anything else you would like to know or if you wish to contact me, send me a message! (I used to have my email on here, but I was advised to take it off because of scams).
Thank you for taking the time to read this :)

VIDEO: LeBron in The Grove
Rumors were flying Friday night when LeBron James was spotted coming out of a party(?), wedding (?) meeting(?) planning session (?) with fellow players Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem and Pat Riley.
Andy Slater, afternoon show host at 940 WINZ was there, but couldn't get LeBron to open up about his plans - although he tried like crazy. Take a look.
Slater says he believes the event was just that and not a meeting about team and terms at all, but it is Miami and when the Heat meet, people pay attention.
Stay tuned, its bound to get better with everyone opting out of their deals to create salary cap space so Heat management can go after free agents.

The Role of Controversy in Chinese Literature
Instructor: Angie Chau
This course takes a closer look at the role that controversy has played in the reception of contemporary Chinese literature. Although controversy has most often appeared in the field of literature from the PRC in the form of state censorship, it has also taken alternative forms such as plagiarism and piracy. Analyzing a selection of novels, film adaptations, blogs, and essays from the 1990s to the present day, we will discuss how these literary controversies can limit the exposure and circulation of these works, but at the same time serve to heighten their appeal and marketability (cultural capital) in the West. We will also explore the changing ways that readers approach more traditional literary works such as novels, in relationship to digital media such as blogs and internet literature, and how contemporary writers situate themselves and their work in the context of political activism and celebrity pop culture. Advanced (i.e., near native) reading skills in Chinese are required. Presentations, papers, and exams are in English.

Delhi schools give students disaster management lessons
Even as Tuesday's mega mock drill exposed glaring loopholes in emergency response in times of crisis, schools have started giving students a lesson or two in disaster management, Shaswati Das reports.delhi Updated: Dec 08, 2012 22:47 IST
Even as Tuesday's mega mock drill exposed glaring loopholes in emergency response in times of crisis, schools have started giving students a lesson or two in disaster management.
A group of school students from the Government Sarvodaya Vidyalaya have undergone training by the Delhi Emergency Management Exercise (DEMEx) to help in times of disaster.
Other private schools in the city have also started ensuring their staff and students are well trained to cope with any form of disaster.
"We have trained our staff and students to cope with any form of disaster. They will respond within two minutes of an alarm going off. There is a separate team that checks the alertness of teachers. We hold back a couple of students during our drills so as to understand whether or not teachers can identify who's missing," said Rita Sen, principal, Delhi Public School (Rohini).
Other than putting the students through a regular drill, schools have also ensured that students are accompanied by fellow students by way of a buddy system.
"It is most important to ensure that students are first vacated so as to avoid a stampede-like situation. Other than training them thoroughly about fire escape routes and response to an earthquake, we have formed a buddy system by which students can assist each other in a disaster," said Madhulika Sen, principal, Tagore International School (Vasant Vihar).
Earlier, the Delhi government had drawn a list of more than 150 schools that had failed to submit their disaster management plans.
"We have been insisting that schools should be ready with a disaster management plan. This issue is not taken seriously enough. But schools should understand that if there is a large-scale disaster they have to act first instead of relying on response agencies," said a Delhi government official.

We all know the biggest risk to investment accounts is performance. If the market tanks, any stock-based mutual fund in your 401k account will decline sharply, too. If bond yields remain paltry, any bond funds you own will perform poorly, too. That's the way investing works.
