WARREN, Ohio (AP) -- An ambiguously addressed letter from a teenage fan in Ireland to Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has ended up at a comic book store in the northeast Ohio town where the musician was born.
The Warren Tribune Chronicle (http://bit.ly/11t0Q9h ) reports the handwritten note was delivered to All American Cards and Comics in Warren, which sits near an alley named for Grohl. The store's owner attributes the delivery to its proximity to the alley.
For a school assignment, 13-year-old Sean Woods had mailed the note to "Warren, Ohio, America" without a street address, hoping it would reach Grohl and he'd respond.
The local resident who came up with the idea for naming the alley has promised to try to get the letter to Grohl, who has relatives in the area.

This sculpture is an observation on the financial crisis currently engulfing the world. [October 2008]
September 15, 2008 marked the start of a financial crisis worse than anything in our lifetimes.
Like two giant stones thrown into a pond, the sudden and total collapse of two very big, very old companies (Lehman Brothers and AIG) caused ripples in our economy. It was becoming clear that the systems we use to control and organize money just don't work.
Every day for weeks, the ripples grew. The world's financial systems begin to fall apart at the seams. Major banks folded. Big companies were going bankrupt. The stock market was bleeding. People's retirements savings were wiped out. And the governments of the world panicked, spending unheard-of amounts of money to try to fix the problem. No one is sure how or when this will end...
A short order
In the stock market, big time investors can place what's called a "short order" to make money off falling prices. They profit when everyone else is losing. It's symbolic of the entire investment banking industry: a way for the rich and powerful to make tons of money off all of the hard working people in the world.
A short order cook
At my local deli, the short order cook leaves a jar on top of the counter for tips. The day after this crisis began I was getting some eggs for breakfast and noticed that the cook had written on the tip cup: "Euro & Peso accepted too". It seemed symbolic of the entire crisis, and begged the question, "is the sun setting on the United States?"
I realized that both the short order cook and the short order investor were in the same financial mess... But at least this time, the hard working person was the one making the money.
This tip cup from my local deli inspired this sculpture.

Search through millions of records to find out more.
April 1, 1920 — Zwolle, Netherlands
Betje and her sister Saartje were born to Jewish parents in the town of Zwolle in the Netherlands' north central province of Overijssel. Betje was known affectionately as "Bep" to her friends. The Jakobs family owned a successful sporting goods store.
1933-39: As a young girl, Betje enjoyed playing the piano, knitting and tennis. At age 16, while still in secondary school, she began to date Maurits Wijnberg, a boy two years her senior, whose family owned Zwolle's Hotel Wijnberg.
1940-42: The Germans invaded the Netherlands in May 1940. Two years later, on August 4, 1942, Betje and Maurits were married. Betje could not officially move in with her new husband due to Nazi edicts that forbade Jews to change their address. She therefore continued to live with her parents. That same year, the Nazis confiscated the Wijnbergs' hotel, and Maurits and his family were forced to move into a shack. Betje visited her husband and in-laws every day. She and Mrs. Wijnberg often sat together knitting and discussing books.
On October 12, 1942, Betje was deported to Auschwitz, where she perished. She was 22 years old.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Worrying about a problem reduces our ability to focus 100% of our attention on the task. One way to focus your attention is to answer the following questions.
1. What exactly is the problem? There is no sense in worrying about something if you do not know exactly what you are worrying about. Take some time to write down specifically what the problem is that you are trying to solve.
2. What caused the problem? Sometimes solving the immediate problem is not the correct solution because it does not fix the root causes. Try to determine if this problem was caused by something else.
3. What are all the possible solutions? Too often, one solution is proposed and time is wasted arguing about that one solution. Try having a brainstorm to find every possible solution before you argue about the merits of each one.
4. What solution is best? Once all the solutions have been laid out, it should be a pretty easy task to pick the best one and move forward with it.
If you are in a position where people bring their problems to you for help, this is a great strategy to help them solve their own problems. Simply, ask each person to answer these four questions before coming to you. It is likely that they will solve their own problem, but if not, it will make your job much easier.

PARENTS at St Gregory's High School have been told the school has failed and has been put in special measures following a disastrous Ofsted report.
A letter was sent home last night and the full report is due out later today, Wednesday, the Warrington Guardian understands.
Inspectors visited the Cromwell Avenue school over two days in December three years since the last inspection when it was rated outstanding.
Councillor Hitesh Patel (Great Sankey South - LAB) said: "We are very concerned about how a school that was outstanding a few years ago can deteriorate so quickly.
"I await the publication of the full report by Ofsted. As soon as that happens, a meeting is needed with the school to find out exactly what happened."
Science was especially criticised as were other aspects of the school which showed 'significant shortcomings'.
The letter said: "The school accepts the report in full.
"This is a real disappointment for the school community."
Maths, English, drama and music was praised. As was new executive head teacher, David Lewis.
Among a detailed action plan released will be extra support for PE and design technology and extra lessons of science before school on Thursdays and Fridays are planned for GCSE students.
A new bullying and child protection policy will be put in place and a full financial audit will be carried out.
A meeting has been arranged for worried parents next Thursday, February 13.

Hipp, hipp, hurra for the upcoming Syttende Mai (17th of May) celebration in Ballard! This year is the 200th anniversary of Norway's Constitution Day and the 125th celebration in Seattle.
The holiday was established to recognize the signing of Norway's Constitution in 1814, a monumental movement toward Norwegian freedom from the Swedes.
Kim Nesselquist, Norwegian consul in Washington state, said that Norwegians are also grateful for the U.S. Constitution since Norway's constitution is based on it. The two constitutions are some of oldest active constitutions in the world, the United States' being the second and Norway's the third.
"I think that is really special and it shows how close the two countries are," Nesselquist said.
Cultural gathering
Seattle's first Syttende Mai celebration began in May 1889, before Washington became a state in November. At first, it was a smaller banquet and community hall commemoration, but it eventually grew into a Ballard community parade in 1974. Today, it is the largest Syttende Mai parade outside of Norway.
"It's a great community event but also points out the importance of and the significance of Norwegians in Seattle," said Gail Engler, co-chair of the 17th of May Committee.
Syttende Mai in Ballard unites people throughout Washington and beyond. Traveling from Anchorage, Alaska, this year's grand marshal is Marit Kristiansen, the international president of the Sons of Norway Foundation. Engler explained that Kristiansen rose through the ranks of the Sons of Norway organization and also grew up in Ballard.
"I thought it was pretty neat that she accepted," Engler said.
The two honorary marshals are Mari-Ann Kind Jackson and Warren Aakervik, two prominent Norwegian-American figures in Ballard. There are also 10 honored guests who have made significant contributions to the Scandinavian community in Seattle, including Eric Nelson, director of the Nordic Heritage Museum, and Christine Anderson, historian of Leif Erikson Lodge Sons of Norway.
Norwegian organizations also joining the parade include Sons of Norway lodges, Daughters of Norway, Norse Home, Norwegian Male Chorus and Norwegian Ladies Chorus.
The parade also gathers many non-Norwegian groups such as school marching bands, drill teams and cheerleaders, unicyclists, clowns and Seafair Pirates.
"I think people will really come out with all of their traditional costumes and be full of Norwegian pride," said Christy Olsen Field, the development associate of the Nordic Heritage Museum.
Nesselquist said that the Norwegian tradition of celebrating the 17th of May is mainly based on children, whereas Seattle's parade is focused on organizations and tradition.
"I would love to see more schoolchildren [in the parade], and I would like to see more bands," Nesselquist said. "Other than that, I think it is an absolutely fantastic celebration here in Seattle."
A passionate group
Seattle resident Øystein Kjørsvik grew up in Bergen, Norway. Coming to the United States in 2008, Kjørsvik has celebrated the Syttende Mai in Ballard. He said that the celebration is naturally larger in Norway; however, Ballard's enthusiasm is one to compete with.
"It's really fun to see the level of interaction here, which in many ways can rival Norway," Kjørsvik said. "It seems like people get really into it here, and everyone in the area is there to truly celebrate and enjoy a great Norwegian holiday. One can't really help but admire the passion of some of the Norwegian old-timers around here."
Engler said she would like "to see younger people step up and participate more, find out about [their] heritage and make sure that their history is not forgotten, because it is very easily forgotten."
Nesselquist said Ballard's Norwegian community "is very strong, it is very diverse and it is very committed to its heritage, so I think that it is a fantastic community."

Ed O'Bannon case strikes a defensive blow; more Designated Reads
• "Plaintiffs in the Ed O'Bannon lawsuit claimed what their lawyer described as a significant victory today when a California federal judge denied the NCAA's early attempt to prevent the case from becoming a class action." This is not so much a victory in and of itself as it is one more sudden-death pitfall avoided. Think of this kind of action as playing Super Mario Bros. 2 as Toad, with no mushrooms in sight and only one extra life remaining. That's where this case is at, in fancy legal terms.
• "And it's highly questionable whether other college presidents would allow such a settlement when no other schools were afforded the same opportunity for a case involving recruiting violations." Think the NCAA-ward howling from Miami and USC is bad now? Imagine the cacophony of victory and rage if the 'Canes were able to cut a deal.
• "According to the report, when the officer asked the men for their tickets, Carey said, 'Get the (expletive) out of my face! Don't you know who I am? I am an All-American.'" Always wonder what the endgame is here, in the heads of anyone who tries this kind of thing. "My sincerest apologies, sir. Your NCAA rushing prowess affords you lordship over campus police. Carry on."
• "But ... it was more intrigue than it was an interest on my part." Readers, try Brian Kelly's line on his dalliance with the Eagles at home with your significant others, just to see how it goes ... Pitt is still operating without a defensive coordinator following Dave Huxtable's departure for NC State ... and Stanford run game coordinator Mike Bloomgren has been promoted to Andrew Luck Director of Offense, while Pep Hamilton directs the actual Andrew Luck offense in Indianapolis.
• Roster blotter. Oklahoma State defensive tackle Christian Littlehead plans to transfer ... a whopping eight out of Scout's top 10 quarterbacks of 2010 have already transferred, per a quick @SolidVerbal headcount ... Penn State embraces walk-on power.
• Realignment tidbits, grudgingly dispensed. The Big Ten could blow up its current divisional arrangement, while the Big 12 is off digging moats or some damn thing.
• Misc. Arizona is getting one of those fields Maryland has, per a school release, although probably decidedly more monochromatic, and can we get a swatch of that turf to use as a doggie bed already? ... feast your eyes on Nevada's stark new helmets ... Michael Oher is not actually related to Sandra Bullock, so stop asking ... and when Rich Rodriguez says "I obviously wasn't in a good place," you can obviously rest assured he means "Michigan."

The state government will not lower water levels at the Wivenhoe or North Pine dams ahead of the upcoming summer wet season.
Water Supply Minister Mark McArdle said he made the decision after studying reports from the Department of Energy and Water Supply, the Bureau of Meteorology, the South East Queensland Water Grid Manager and the Queensland Water Commission.
"Taking into account the difference between the current seasonal forecast, the 2010-11 forecasts, as well as drinking-water security for southeast Queensland, I have decided not to lower Wivenhoe or North Pine dams at this time," he said.
Mr McArdle said he sought advice from the weather bureau on November 1 about the 2012 to 2013 wet season.
"It's clear from BoM's latest advice that this summer's wet season is different from the strong La Niña conditions that persisted during the devastating Queensland floods of the 2010-11 wet season," he said.
Mr McArdle said he also requested further advice from the Department of Energy and Water Supply on seasonal weather forecasts, water supply security, dam operations and the extent to which lowering the dams was likely to mitigate the impacts of a potential flood, after the bureau gave a presentation to cabinet in September.
"Wivenhoe Dam was designed and constructed to operate as a dual-purpose water supply and flood mitigation dam, and its dedicated water supply compartment is always less than half of the dam's total capacity," he said.
The dam is at its "full supply level" — referred to as 100 per cent — when only its water supply compartment is full.
The water supply compartment accounts for about 45 per cent of the total dam capacity, with the rest reserved for about 1.42 million mega litres of flood storage.
Wivenhoe Dam's water supply compartment is currently at 96.5 per cent capacity, while North Pine Dam's is at 96.5 per cent capacity.
Wivenhoe Dam's role in Brisbane's January 2011 flood came under scrutiny at the commission of inquiry, with critics arguing that more water should have been released sooner.
In July last year, the commission issued a report from independent hydrological expert Mark Babister, who concluded Wivenhoe engineers achieved close to the best possible mitigation during the January floods.
This was despite 59 per cent of floodwaters in southeast Queensland coming from dam releases.
After the bureau's cabinet briefing in September, Premier Campbell Newman said it was unlikely Wivenhoe Dam would be drawn down to 75 per cent capacity.
While floods were a key part of the Queensland wet season, widespread floods were less likely, the bureau said.
Queensland has been on track for above-average temperatures, with the southeast set for a typical thunderstorm season with a greater proportion of hail and damaging wind events compared with the previous two years.

Teaching American History
The Teaching American History program in Arkansas's Little Rock School District will target teachers who are new to the district or to teaching American history in 19 schools most in need of improvement and where student literacy levels are low. Only one percent of the district's history teachers have a degree in American history; therefore, Teaching American History will provide content-rich professional development: an American History Academy (a 45-hour online course and seven 1-day colloquia during the year); a 5-day summer history institute; a 5-day summer field study; three seminars on using history sources in an online environment; history book club meetings; community-based symposia featuring guest speakers; and a co-teaching program for high school teachers. A cadre of six lead teachers will create opportunities for collaboration among history teachers across the district. Teaching American History will begin with a core group of 28 teachers participating in the academy; by the end of Year 1, 53 teachers will be engaged, with approximately 50 teachers added in each subsequent year until all 201 history teachers in the targeted schools are included by Year 5. Participating teachers will explore how the concepts in the Preamble to the Constitution (justice, domestic tranquility, common defense, general welfare, and liberty) have been a refining and defining force in shaping a more perfect union. Instructional strategies will focus on historical thinking, reading and writing in the content areas, technology integration, and analysis of primary sources. Lessons learned and best practices will be disseminated within professional networks at the local, regional, and national levels.

Clockwork Angel was one of my favorite books of 2010, and I eagerly awaited the publication of Clockwork Prince. Join me, your Young Adult Librarian, as I read the sequel.
I will try to keep from revealing important details about CP, but I will assume if you are reading this you are familiar with Clockwork Angel.
1:55 P.M. Still dislike the cover. The one for CA had Will in profile, so you could still use your own imagination to conjure his face as you read. The guy on this cover looks nothing like the Jem I imagined.
1:59 P.M.Beginning to read.
2:02 P.M. Will can talk to ghosts! Did I know this?
2:03 P.M. Poor Will. I still think Cassandra Clare made him too much like Jace. I hope he develops more of his own character in this book.
2:06 P.M. Beginnings of the love triangle.
2:18 P.M.Well, that explains some things about Will.
2:22 P.M. Sophie. She needs to be with Jem instead having some love triangle with Will, Tessa & Jem.
2:29 P.M. Training montage
2:34 P.M. A nice moment between Tessa and Will in a library. More books should have scenes that take place in libraries while characters discuss books.
2:45 P.M. Page 92. An explanation of parabatai
2:59 P.M. Learning more about Will's pre-Shadowhunter life.
3:07 P.M. Oh, Will! That explains a lot. Team Will!
3:26 P.M. Was caught up reading. Not liking what is happen on pages 204-207.
3:43 P.M. Sophie is becoming one of my favorite characters.
3:44 P.M. More snarky Will. He really is a Victorian version of Jace. Except with dark hair and blue eyes.
3:50 P.M. Chapter 12. A masquerade. It puts that song from Phantom of the Opera in my head. Though if you are an actual teen reading this blog you probably do not know that song.
3:55 P.M. Jessamine. Tsk. Tsk.
4:08 P.M. References to the Silent City first seen in City of Bones which now I feel compelled to re-read as soon as I am done with this book.
4:18 P.M. One of my reading quirks is that I always end up rooting for the romantic pairing that is pushed in the first book in a series. For example, I never bought Bella and Jacob when she was so obviously in love with Edward in the first book in that series. In Mortal Instruments, I could never think of Clary and Jace with anyone other than each other. I know from reviews that some people like Jem and root for him and Tessa, but I cannot get behind that match. So I don't particularly enjoy reading certain passages in this book especially knowing things about Will that the characters don't know.
4:25 P.M. I keep seeing parallels to City of Ashes when Clary "dated" Simon to forget about Jace.
4:29 P.M. Yay for Sophie!
4:32 P.M. A little moment of bromance. Though if each one finds out about the other and Tessa, it might come to an end.
4:43 P.M. Good news, but it will lead to pain for someone. Plus the good news is all rather convenient.
4:44 P.M. Actually tearing up.
4:46 P.M. Now I want to shake some of these characters.
5:03 The End. I do not like how some things were left at the end. I don't think I can wait a year.
This is how my reading looks when graphed. Courtesy of goodreads.com
Overall impressions: I liked how some story threads were wrapped up, but it still felt very much like the middle book in a trilogy. I am still Team Will and feel sorry for him because of things that transpired in the book. I want to like Jem, but Cassandra Clare makes him a little too noble.

Retailers See Increase In Black Friday Sales
Retailers at the Bayshore Mall saw an increase in customer traffic and sales on Black Friday, after opening four hours earlier on Thanksgiving night. Stores were offering customers up to fifty percent savings to entice them to buy.
"The response from our tenants has been really good in terms of sales compared to last year," said Kirk White, General Manager of the Bayshore Mall.
"We've got some special deals down here that we've never had before," said Angel Young, Owner of Humboldt Clothing Company.
Bayshore Mall doors opened up at 8 p.m. Thanksgiving night to a busy crowd of earlier bird shoppers. White said parking lots were full next to department stores. "I was pleasantly surprised. A lot more people than I anticipated," said White.
White said stores are opening their doors earlier this year because retailers are loosing an extra week this holiday shopping season. "This year we have one less week than other years because Black Friday is the last Friday of the month," said White.
Shopper, Lisa Coleman of Eureka, came out to the mall for a second time after shopping the night before. Coleman said she was able to get great deals that she couldn't get other times of the year.
"If you don't mind standing in line and if you really want something bad enough you're going to do it. just bring coffee," said Coleman.

Apologies for reopening an old thread, but wondering what the status is of French materials. Does anyone has a French user/help guide available?
Hi Marc,
Thanks for getting in touch about this. As far as I know, there are no additional resources available in French at present. Sorry I can't be of more help on this; if you have any further questions please do feel free to ask.
If anyone here in the community is able to offer help on translations we would be more than happy to work with them, and release any suitable translated materials via the FrontlineSMS website to help support other users. If this is of interest please get in touch!
All the Best
Thanks for the response Flo. If we get a chance to work on the translation I will let you know and make sure that it can be available for the rest of the community too.
Hi Matt
You could reach out to Kelly. RANET did some FrontlineSMS guides in French and Portuguese (although they seem to be offline now). He might be able to share what he did:
Good luck!
Thanks Ken, I will follow up with them.
On an unrelated note, your last post does not show up on the forum page (http://frontlinesms.ning.com/forum/topics/2052630:Topic:13823) but I do see it on your profile page. (I tested on Chrome and IE, same result)
Hey Marc,
Great, let us know how you get along following up on Ken's tip.
I think Ken's comment is not showing up here because he may have edited it after posting - that can sometimes mean the comment won't show up, for some reason. Glad the message was received nonetheless! =)

Boonie Hats
Wholesale Boonie Hats
Also known as boonie hats, jungle hats, sun hats, bucket hats, fishing hats. The boonie hat is a commonly worn hat by militaries that features a wide brim style. The brim size is approximately 3 long. The United States Military first introduced boonie hats when the Green Beret sector of the army began wearing them during the Vietnam War. The boonie hat began to be produced with insect nets to protect soldiers faces when they were in the jungle. The introduction of the boonie hat had replaced the caps previously being worn, fatigue hats. Boonie hats are still worn today by soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan and by most international armed forces and paramilitaries. The boonie hat comes in a variety of colors and camouflage patterns and unique fabrics. We offer both official military issued boonie hats and exact replicas. Boonie hats should not be confused with jungle hats; though they are very similar to each other they do contain slight differences. Boonie hats contain an adjustable chin strap, screened side vents, and branch loops. The jungle hat has similar characteristics as the boonie hat, but if looked at closely the side vents on the jungle hat are not the screen side vents found on the boonie hat. Boonie hats are ideal for fishing, camping. Boonie Hats are also known as sun protection brimmed head wear, hot weather jungle clothing, men's floppy digital desert camouflage, wide kids' ACU style caps, etc. Boonie Hats are commonly misspelled as camo acu, etc.

Launched in 1998 and recognized as the service that "put the voice over industry online", Voicebank's voice-over audition system is the most widely casting software on the Web. It is the primary casting and project management tool used by more than 1600 top Ad Agencies, Animation Houses & TV/Film Studios, Independent Producers, Production Facilities and Casting Directors (voice over & theatrical) around the World.
In 2009, on-camera & print casting capabilities were integrated into the site. Voicebank connects any Producer who needs to cast a voice, on-camera or print project to the Casting Directors, Talent Agents and Actors they're looking for. We streamline the audition process by securely and efficiently connecting Producers to the most prestigious Casting Directors, Union and Non-Union Talent Agencies in the U.S., Canada & Europe, representing the top Voice-over Artists, Actors and Celebrities around the World. Since 1998, more than 140,000 projects have been cast and over 14 million audition files have been delivered via the service.
Producers, Casting Directors, Ad Agency Creatives
Whether you cast one project a month or 30; whether you work with one Casting Director, Talent Agency or many; whether you cast locally or nationally, Voicebank lets you organize and manage all of your Voice-over, On-camera and Print auditions in one simple interface. You can upload and instantly distribute your copy, specs, use/conflict info and samples (audio or video) to the Casting Directors or Talent Agencies you choose to work with. Only the companies you invite will have access to your projects. Casting Directors and Agents then audition their Actors that they select for your script and upload the files back to the site. All auditions are organized by Agency, enabling you to easily track where the Talent is coming from. At a glance, you see what projects have auditions and from which Casting Directors and Talent Agencies.
Reviewing auditions and organizing selects is a breeze. Any user at your company who needs access to the project has their own secure login, enabling them to make their own shortlists and easily share them with specific associates right on the site. You can even eliminate CD's, FTP or email attachment delivery of final choices to your client by using our secure "Vmail" link. Voicebank is the ultimate collaborative casting and management tool, online or off.
Talent Agencies
Posting your Actors' voice-over and on-camera demos on Voicebank is a great way to open up and showcase your roster to the thousands of people looking for Talent. Companies like National Geographic, Discovery, HGTV and A&E use the demo section to search for Narrators and Hosts for some of their biggest shows. NBC, CBS, TNT and other networks use Voicebank to cast their Promos and Trailers.
You have control of your demos: create category folders and name them the way you want. Upload and organize your Actor's demos quickly and easily yourself. As soon as you receive files from your Talent, upload them; no need to send them off to an outside IT person or company and wait to have it done.
Being listed in the "Invite" panel allows your Agency to be selected for projects created exclusively on our site. Companies around the world use Voicebank to search for and audition Talent.
Whether you have a roster of 50 or 500, putting them on Voicebank can help grow your business. Being a member definitely has its privileges. For a list of our project creating clients, click here. For a list of current Talent Agency clients, click here for Union, click here for Non-Union.

ON WEDNESDAY north west Hampshire experienced its coldest mid August night since records began in 1966.
Met Office weather recorder Trevor Wheeler who has been taking the temperature of the weather for almost 50 years in Hurstbourne Tarrant says the temperature was just 1 degree Celsius (34 degrees F) at dawn.
Trevor said: "The last time such a low August figure occurred was on the 31 August during 1978, when the thermometer registered an exact reading to that of this morning's.
"Since 1966, when the records began here at Hurstbourne Tarrant, there has been no lower August reading than this figure.
"In exposed low lying areas, there must have been a grass frost this morning."

In the Media - Paul Kendel
Lawrence King interviews Paul and reviews Walking the Tiger's Path. Read the review below:
Walking the Tiger's Path: A Soldier's Spiritual Journey in Iraq puts you on the ground with National Guardsman Paul M. Kendel as he faces roadside bombs, ambush, and potential suicide bombers while patrolling the "Triangle of Death" outside Baghdad in 2005. Already familiar with the Middle East through travel and study, he's acutely aware of the local people and culture around him—in a way that many American soldiers are not. As his friends start dying and the other soldiers grow embittered toward the Iraqis, he struggles to maintain his humanity and sense of compassion with his finger on the trigger.
Impulsively sending an email to the Shambhala Buddhist community, he makes a connection with an instructor, Margot Neuman, and they begin a correspondence that provides him with advice and spiritual teachings. Literally Sgt. Kendel discovers and contemplates spiritual teachings with a gun in his hands, as he makes his way through the blood-soaked, cratered landscape of a war zone. When he returns to America, he finds that his "ordinary" life is not immune to death and suffering either, affirming the principles he's been learning and the need for compassion. In the end, he comes to a heartening place of peace and clarity.
An unusual story, Walking the Tiger's Path combines a compelling, quick-reading, gritty military narrative with a voyage of spiritual discovery centered on principles of eastern religion. There are few, if any, stories like it in modern Buddhist literature. At the same time, it fits into the realm of classic war memoir, replete with the details of battle and the modern soldier's life, told in a voice by turns humane, humorous, sarcastic, and thoughtful. The most natural audiences for his book, therefore, would be anyone interested in spirituality and eastern religion, as well as those interested in war stories and American military history in Iraq.
Sgt. Kendel spent three years in the Army and twenty in the National Guard. He has two master's degrees, in anthropology and in middle-eastern history, and currently teaches high school in Jacksonville, Florida.
Listen to Paul's interview with Lawrence King on his Talk Show at Artist First Radio Network here.
Paul M. Kendel Interview: Walking the Tiger's Path:
A Soldier's Spiritual Journey in Iraq
KGNU's Hemispheres w/ host Joe Richey
While serving in Iraq with the Georgia National Guard, a fill-unit between the 10th Mountain Division and the 101st Airborne Division, Staff Sergeant Paul M. Kendel became a student of the Shambhala Teachings, presumed to have been handed down from an ancient Himalayan kingdom.
His correspondence with Buddhist teachers and Shambhala practitioners in Boulder, Colorado, proved as transformative as formative. The letters and his account of his Iraq experience have resulted in both a unique war story and spiritual memoir. Walking the Tiger's Path: A Soldier's Spiritual Journey in Iraq will be released in September 2011, from Tendril Press.
In February 2009 Paul shared his experience in Iraq with the Shambhala Times. Read Paul's interview with Paul Allen in the Shambhala Times Community News here.

THE MAHLER PROJECT: Mahler 6
Last Modified:
Gustavo Dudamel, conductor
Mahler: Symphony No. 6 (c. 70 minutes) Gustav Mahler - Symphony No. 6 (30 Seconds) Program Notes
About This Performance
Click here for the full Mahler Project schedule.
This symphony's nickname, "Tragic" (never endorsed by Mahler), is closely linked to the huge hammer blows called for in the last movement. Mahler wanted the sound to be "brief and mighty, but dull in resonance and with a non-metallic character (like the fall of an axe)." The problem of achieving sufficient volume while remaining dull in resonance has proved a challenge to this day. Various approaches have included a wooden mallet hitting a wooden surface, a sledgehammer striking a wooden box, a particularly large bass drum, and even sometimes more than one method at once.
Programs, artists, dates, prices and availability subject to change.

I think Narutowiki should put Naruto fan couplings in the wikia.This can let people more about the fan couples in the anime.Couples like Naruhina(naruto and hinata),Sasusaku(sasuke and sakura),Narusaku(naruto and sakura)ETC. We should put in evidence form the show,the wikia's conclusion about the couple and pictures of the moments if possible.The charcters's feelings for each other.If you have a hard time thinking on how to do this.Here's one good example.http://digimon.wikia.com/wiki/Fan:T.K._%26_Kari I try to help Narutowiki all i can

Nervous system
A few cases of dyskinesias and tremors, often of the face, have been reported in patients whose chronic use of brompheniramine extended over a period of up to 10 years. Some of these cases were only partially relieved by discontinuation of the drug. Haloperidol was successful in relieving symptoms in these patients. Spasmodic torticollis has been reported in a child given brompheniramine over an eight month period.[Ref]
Nervous system side effects of brompheniramine have included central nervous system (CNS) depression, resulting in drowsiness and sedation in nearly 50% of patients treated. This effect has often been transient and ceased with continued use. Motor skills have be impaired and patients should be advised to avoid tasks which require attention. Patients should also avoid concomitant use with alcohol and other sedative-hypnotic drugs. Dyskinesias have rarely been reported following chronic use of brompheniramine. Nervous system side effects of pseudoephedrine have included insomnia in up to 30% of patients. Tremor, anxiety, nervousness, and headache have also been reported.[Ref]
Gastrointestinal side effects of brompheniramine have include nausea, dry mouth and constipation. Gastrointestinal side effects of pseudoephedrine have included anorexia and gastric irritation in approximately 5% of patients. Dry mouth, nose, or throat have occurred in up to 15% of patients receiving pseudoephedrine.[Ref]
Cardiovascular effects of brompheniramine have included hypotension, tachycardia, and palpitations. Cardiovascular side effects of pseudoephedrine have included tachycardia. Some patients taking pseudoephedrine have developed hypertension and/or arrhythmias.[Ref]
Pseudoephedrine causes vasoconstriction which generally does not produce hypertension, but may be problematic for patients with preexisting hypertension. Arrhythmias may be produced in predisposed patients. Rarely, pseudoephedrine has been reported to cause coronary artery spasm and chest pain.
One report evaluated the effect with 60 mg of pseudoephedrine on individuals in a hyperbaric chamber at 1 atmosphere (simulated scuba dive to 66 feet of sea water). Pseudoephedrine and depth (stimulated) were found to have significant but opposite effects on heart rate, although these effects were unlikely to be clinically significant during diving.[Ref]
Ocular side effects of brompheniramine have included blurred vision, diplopia, and dry eyes due to anticholinergic effects.[Ref]
Hematologic side effects of brompheniramine have included rare cases of hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and agranulocytosis.[Ref]
Hypersensitivity side effects in patients receiving pseudoephedrine have included fixed drug eruptions.[Ref]
Genitourinary side effects of brompheniramine have included dysuria, urinary hesitancy, decrease in urine flow, and, in rare cases, acute urinary retention.[Ref]

Learn How to Choose the Right Counter Surveillance Solution
Stealth Camera Lens Finder
Item: 218-CAM-DET
Use What the Pros Use
The Professional Stealth Camera Lens Finder is trusted by law enforcement officials, professional investigators and military field experts as a portable, fast and accurate camera detector. This counter-surveillance solution features a metal housing and glass lens, which provide durability and accuracy in testing. The glass lens differs from other devices' plastic lenses by ensuring better light reflection and responsiveness, virtually eliminating false positives. Scan a room in seconds and move on with your day, knowing whether or not you're being watched by surveillance or hidden cameras.
Stronger Beam Means Better Results
The IR LED light housed in the Professional Stealth Camera Lens Finder is significantly more powerful than comparable devices. By having a stronger beam, cameras can be detected from a greater distance (up to 33 ft.), with better accuracy. With greater range, there's less hassle to you; you won't have to worry about moving furniture to find unwanted surveillance cameras. The Professional Stealth Camera Lens Finder's Light Intensity and Brightness Control enables you to target the focus of the beam, customizing your hidden camera search to optimize short and long range scanning. If that wasn't enough, the detector will uncover a hidden camera if the camera is turned off, so even if you aren't being recorded, you'll be aware of a surveillance presence.

Soundscape: Dawn at Bessiaudio, soundscapes posted by listentoafrica on Oct 22nd, 2009
This soundscape was recorded at dawn in a derelict old camp near Bessi, not too far from the southern bank of The Gambia River in The Gambia. A lot of the former hotels and camps we came across on the south side of the river have been reclaimed by nature since the southern road disintegrated into a bumpy track – bad news for the Gambian tourist industry but good news for The Gambia's 576 bird species. This was recorded using our new mics and, to celebrate, we're keeping it long (10 minutes). It's best listened to in stereo.
Date and time recorded: 06:44 local time, 12th October 2009
Location: Near Bessi, The Gambia (view on map)
Equipment: Sennheiser MKH30/40 to Fostex FR2LE

Your gift to help a hardworking entrepreneur will double in impact thanks to a generous World Vision partner.
Rotana is from Cambodia. She has 4 children. She needs a loan of $300 to buy pigs, feed and farming supplies.
Rotana is from Cambodia. She has 4 children. She needs a loan of $300 to buy pigs, feed and farming supplies.
Providing for her family is Rotana Tann, mother of four, ultimate goal. Though her husband works, her family mainly depends on farming and raising animals such as pigs, ducks, and chickens for their livelihood. She would like to purchase more animals and farming supplies to improve her farm, but due to a lack of money, she has not been able to make additional purchases.
A loan from World Vision will make it possible for Rotana to buy more animals and improve her farm. The additional money she earns will enable her to run her business smoothy, improve their living conditions, better provide for her children, and to send them to school. In addition, her farm will help to lift her community from poverty.
The Agriculture business sector covers all farming and livestock activities. Some entrepreneurs request loans to help in securing supplies and equipment. Others want to buy more animals to breed or purchase feed and medicines. The majority of our loan clients live in rural communities where agriculture is already understood as a business model. It is for this reason that approximately 50% of our loans are in the agricultural sector.
There is no community update available at this time.
Thank you for supporting a small business loan for Rotana Tann to expand her farming, food, retail, grocery and livestock business. After receiving the loan from World Vision, she invested the $300 to buy pigs, feed and farming supplies.
Rotana has been repaying her loan on time with her new profits. She makes weekly payments of $5.
In addition to repaying her loan, Rotana is using her additional income to purchase food for her animals, pay school fees and purchase fertilizer. Rotana's four children continue to study in school.
Thank you for supporting Rotana and World Vision Micro!
Thank you for supporting the small loan for Rotana Tann to improve her farming and livestock business. She invested her loan of $300 to buy more pigs, feed and farming supplies.
Rotana has now repaid her loan in full. In addition to repaying her loan, Rotana has used her additional income to pay her children's school fees, purchase school supplies and purchase food for her family.
Rotana's four children continue to study in school.
The loan Rotana received helped her business expand and the profits she is earning is creating lasting improvements in her life. In the future, Rotana hopes to send her children to school, expand her current business and repair or expand their home.
Thank you for your support of Rotana and World Vision Micro. These funds are now being recycled to support another eager entrepreneur in the same community.

Concerns over flooding raised by the Environment Agency over plans for 46 houses next to Rabley Wood View in Marlborough have been welcomed by campaigners fighting the scheme.
Ben and Guy Sangster, sons of the late Robert Sangster, want to build the homes on recreation ground owned by Wiltshire Council.
Neighbours and Marlborough Town Council have already voiced fears and now the Environment Agency has objected because of flooding risks. It is also questioning drainage figures from Manton Estate experts, Cole Easdon Consultants.
The estate must show that all surface water can be got rid of safely.
Thames Water has also said the existing water infrastructure could not support the needs of the new houses and, if planning permission was granted, building should not start until major works are undertaken to improve the sewage system.
Jayne Barker, who represented objectors at a town council planning meeting, said: "We are very pleased major bodies have expressed the same concerns that we have had all along.
"We can just hope Wiltshire Council will listen to these objections. We understand there is a need for housing but an appropriate place has to be found."
The county's Education Department said the development will need 13 extra primary school places and nine places at St John's.
Although there are school places at St Peter's School, St Mary's and St John's are both oversubscribed and so the Manton Estate would have to contribute to the cost of the schools' expansion.
The plan has already been called in by Coun Stewart Dobson and will be discussed by the Eastern Area planning committee, at a date yet to be set.
Richard Cosker, of RCC Town Planning, the agent for the estate, said: "As with all housing applications, the Education Department has the opportunity to make a comment but I don't foresee the developers will have any problems with the requirements put forward.
"The Environment Agency has submitted a holding objection, as is often the case, and there are some issues with figures provided by the developers' drainage experts who will be in consultation with the agency and will update them accordingly.
"All concerns will be considered and the developers will continue to consult on the application and all amended drawings will be put online."

Do you know about Ancestry Livestream? It is the official live events channel of Ancestry.com and offers a video library that you can use at any time or you can book in and watch a genealogy expert give a talk on some aspect of family history.
It is true that many of the videos are US based, but it is worthwhile searching out those that you think would be helpful for your UK genealogy. For example I have clicked on the RSVP box next to the lecture on "Splitting or Combining Family Trees on Ancestry" it is so much easier to hear and see how do to do these things than to work out how to do them yourself. I shall be ready and waiting with note book at hand at 1pm ET 31 July to listen to Crista Cowan explain all.
Take a look at the video archive and also the list of forthcoming lectures and take advantage of this Ancestry facility.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/7/2014 (1147 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
You know how whenever it seems too good to be true, that's because it usually is?
That 45-21 win by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers over the Toronto Argonauts on opening night of the 2014 CFL regular season last week seemed a bit like that, didn't it?
And because it did seem just a little too easy, a little too dominating, a little too, well, un-Bombers-like, there was more trepidation in the air at Investors Group Field Thursday night than you might have expected heading into a Week 2 contest against an expansion Ottawa Redblacks team playing their first regular-season game in franchise history.
That's because it was one thing to demolish an Argos team that shot themselves in the feet all night long last week.
The more important determinant of just how new and just how improved the 2014 Bombers really are was whether they could do it again against an opponent that didn't take 22 penalties and didn't repeatedly turn over the ball the way the Argos did.
The early returns last night were not positive if you were a Bombers fan. A Bombers offence that fired on all cylinders against the Argos -- and produced an offensive star of the week in QB Drew Willy -- sputtered in the early going against a Redblacks defence that looked pretty good for a band of castoffs, which is what they are.
Even more worrying in last night's early going was the performance of a Bombers defence that looked so masterful in shutting down a future Hall-of-Famer in Toronto QB Ricky Ray last week but appeared utterly helpless against another future Hall-of-Famer in Ottawa QB Henry Burris.
In what must surely be some kind of record for spectacular starts for new football franchises, Burris led the Redblacks to touchdowns on Ottawa's first three possessions, staking the Redblacks to a 21-7 lead by the end of the first quarter.
Just when it was all starting to look disturbingly familiar to a crowd of 27,553 fans that had seen this movie before -- over and over again by a Bombers team that won just nine games the last two seasons combined -- the Bombers dug deep and found a grit that had been conspicuously absent in recent years.
First, it was Bombers rookie tailback Nic Grigsby cementing his status as a keeper by scoring his second TD of the game midway through the second quarter to narrow the Ottawa lead to 21-14. Then it was rookie placekicker Lirim Hajrullahu looking like another solid off-season pickup, hitting from 47-yards as time ran out in the first half to make the score 21-17 heading into the locker-room.
But on a night when nothing came easy for Winnipeg -- in stark contrast to that Toronto game -- the Bombers had the entire left side of their offensive line helped off the field. Tackle Glenn January returned, but guard Chris Greaves never did.
And it showed as Willy took the kind of beating that used to be reserved for Buck Pierce -- some of it even legal and between the whistles. A late hit to the back of Willy's knees in the third quarter looked particularly egregious, but he stayed in the game.
In the end, it was a special-teams play -- fittingly enough on a team that has former special-teams players as head coach, GM and CEO -- that turned the tide for the Bombers, a 96-yard Demond Washington kickoff return for a TD in the fourth quarter that got the Bombers within two points.
That set the stage for the game-winning TD drive late in the fourth quarter that gave Grigsby his third TD of the game and Winnipeg's only lead of the game. It was, as the final whistle sounded moments later, the only lead the Bombers needed.
So what's the takeaway? The Bombers have now won the easy way and the Bombers have now won the hard way. And I'd argue it was last night's performance that was more impressive, precisely because it was so hard.
But most impressive of all? A Bombers franchise that won just three times in 2013 has already won twice in the first two weeks of 2014.

BANGOR, Maine — The Dave Matthews Band, one of the most beloved and highest-grossing live acts of all time, played its first Maine concert in 17 years Friday night at the Darling's Waterfront Pavilion in Bangor. Not only was the concert sold out — it was super-duper sold out. The line to buy the last 100 tickets released just before the concert stretched from the box office out into the street.
For those who did snag tickets early on, though, the show in Maine was a long time coming.
"I've never actually seen them live, and I have loved them for a really long time," said Gabi Pierce, a Hampden resident, as she waited in line to get into the venue. "Lots of memories. I'm really excited for this show."
As part of the band's "two set" concert tour, Dave and crew played a 45-minute acoustic set to start, with Matthews and his longtime guitar collaborator Tim Reynolds playing a few songs on just acoustic guitars, before being joined by drummer Carter Beauford, bassist Stefan Lessard, violinist Boyd Tinsley and horn players Jeff Coffin and Rashawn Ross. Early on the band dipped into some classics from the back catalog, including "Tripping Billies," "Two Step," "Recently" and "What Would You Say?"
Set two was a full-size electrified set, which got started just as the sun went down, and the band's impressive light show and stage setup could be fully appreciated. Despite weather forecasts that called for major rainstorms, the skies cleared up around 3 p.m. and temperatures were warm and comfortable, with a pleasant breeze.
Rains throughout the week before left the lawn area at the back of the venue a bit on the muddy side, however, with a faint whiff of the unpleasant turf odor that plagued the venue last year.
Not that any of that mattered to most concertgoers. Maria Lally drove up from Boston to see the show — her 101st Dave Matthews concert. Or 102nd. Maybe 103rd. She's started to lose count.
"Oh my God, I just can't tell you what they've meant to me over the years. They just cause so many emotions in me. It really hits me right here," said Lally, gesturing to her heart. "I got to meet Dave once and tell him that myself."
Lally was hanging out before the show with a friend who she went to the concert with, as well as Chris Jones from Vancouver, British Columbia — Lally and Jones met while seeing Dave Matthews at the Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington, and have kept in touch since.
"I came all the way out here from British Columbia to see Dave," said Jones. "That just shows you what kinds of fans he has. People come from all over the world to see him."
Up next in the Machias Savings Bank Concert Series is country star Brad Paisley on June 15 and Willie Nelson, Alison Krauss & Union Station and Kacey Musgraves on June 19.

Vital Records
Birth, marriage, and death records were not recorded by South Carolina until the 1900s, thus leaving a lack of vital records. Substitute records, when available, are used to obtain this information. These substitute records including newspapers, court records have been added to this section, when applicable.
State-wide birth registration began in 1915. For a copy of a birth from 1915 or later, contact the South Carolina Department of Health. The Calhoun County Health Department also has copies but they provide only an abbreviated form with limited information. For more information, see the South Carolina Vital Records page.
In South Carolina, marriage licenses were not required by local governments until 1 July 1911. However, in the 1700s, the Church of England parish churches were required to record all marriages - even if the couple were not members of the denomination. Not all churches recorded these marriages and some have not survived. See South Carolina Vital Records for more information.
The Calhoun County probate court holds marriage licenses issued from 1 July 1911 to the present. Statewide registration of marriages began in July 1950 and the South Carolina Division of Vital Records has copies of licenses issued after 1 July 1950 through November 2009.
Newspapers are used as a substitute to locate marriage information. See South Carolina Newspapers.

ALEX Symonds says that it was a pretty simple decision to remain at Swindon Wildcats despite offers from elsewhre.
The Welshman has extended his stay with the Link Centre side for a second season and joins Jan Kostal and star netminder Stevie Lyle in committing to the EPL side.
"I had one or two other offers but I always wanted to stay at the club," Cardiff-based Symonds said. "I did have a couple of weeks to think about it, but to be honest it was a simple decision.
"It is a great organisation and they have always looked after me - it is just down the road too.
"I think most of the guys from last year are looking to come back so I think that we could have a good year next season."
The 25-year-old D-man played a major role in Cats' stunning run at the end of the previous campaign which saw them victorious in eight of their last nine matches, which included a seven-game winning streak, to lead them to the EPL finals weekend.
And while Cats were edged out in overtime to Manchester Phoenix an improved defensive game was very much the focus of the way that the Link Centre men played.
"It is a major part of how we play and we need to keep working on that," Symonds said.
"I know Aldy (head coach Ryan Aldridge) wants to concentrate on that and that is great for me.
"If we can keep the forwards that we had from last season then we are always going to have a chance."
Having finished fifth in the EPL during the regular, four points behind Milton Keynes who finished in the top-four to secure home advantage in the second-leg of the play-off quarter-finals, Symonds is keen for an improved standing.
"The very least we must do next year is get a minimum of a point in every game - that is massive," Symonds added.
"I've only not made the play-offs once in my career so I'm confident we'll be there again next season and a good D-line is key to that success.
"The Wildcats quite often appear to be everyone's outside bet of picking up silverware, and agonisingly last season we just fell short of making the final.
"When you look at how we did after Christmas I know if the club can keep a good core of the squad together, we'll be even more confident next season."

Authorities are asking for help locating a man they call a "sexually violent predator at a high risk to reoffend," who escaped from a Houston halfway home early Saturday morning.
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, John Michael Enard, 58, removed his ankle monitor and jumped a fence at the home where he had been living on parole since Dec. 11.
Enard has been convicted of sexual assault three times and also was convicted of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault, according to DPS records.
A reward of up to $3,000 is being offered to anyone who provides information leading to the arrest of Enard, who's described as a black male, 6 feet tall, weighing 155 pounds, with scars on his forehead, face and left knee.
Enard has family in Houston and Lafayette and has threatened to "re-offend before he goes back to prison," according to DPS.
