New requirements for fireworks shows
Proposed permit terms spell out the steps Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority and Pyro Spectaculars North must take to hold their Fourth of July and Labor Day fireworks shows, following the settlement of a lawsuit alleging debris from the shows falling into the scenic mountain lake was a violation of the federal Clean Water Act. Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District will be responsible for issuing permits for the fireworks shows, a 30-year South Shore tradition that almost came to an end because of the lawsuit, sparking strong public outcry. The lawsuit was filed by Joan and Joseph Truxler after large amounts of fireworks debris washed ashore near their PineWild home on Marla Bay following last year's shows. It was recently settled with their approval. "We will meet with Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District this month to nail down what needs to be done and get the process going, and for them to educate us and for us to build the framework with them and then execute," said Mike Frye, event and media relations manager for LTVA. "Part of that execution is to relook at the shells we're shooting, to make sure they are going to leave the least residue possible, and then have a pickup program that works in case something does wash up on the beach. We hope it doesn't, like in the previous 33 years." LTVA and Pyro Spectaculars North always have strived to clean up after the South Shore fireworks shows and were taken aback by reports of debris on area beaches following last year's shows, Frye said. "The bottom line to us is the fireworks shows are important to the community and keeping the lake pristine is important to the community as well." As part of the lawsuit settlement, the permit would require surface debris cleanup by a boat crew the night of a fireworks show, surface and underwater cleanup by a boat crew and divers the following day and foot patrols to hunt for debris on area beaches for at least five days after a show. "Much of what is going to be done has been done in the past, but certainly there are some additions to the effort," said Ian Gilfillan, vice president of Pyro Spectaculars North. "Everybody understands the conditions and with a lot of cooperation and organization all of the terms of the permit can be met," Gilfillan said. "We're excited about continuing the great tradition of fireworks in Tahoe and the displays we've provided for years." One new condition is the creation of a phone and email hotline for people to report complaints about fireworks debris. The hotline would be up for at least three months after a fireworks show. "That will be beneficial to the whole process, and that's why it's in there," Gilfillan said. Another new permit condition would be the creation of an official event log. Once completed, the log would be provided to the Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and Nevada Department of Environmental Protection and also made available to the public. The log would detail all cleanup efforts including the locations and amounts of fireworks debris collected. It also must certify best management practices were implemented for the fireworks show. The Truxlers said they never wanted to see the fireworks shows end and are confident the more formalized process and oversight will allow the popular South Shore fireworks shows to continue and help ensure things are adequately cleaned up. "If we can implement those things, and you can't implement them all at one time, some of them will take some time, the discharge of debris will be significantly less and the lake will be better off. Without a doubt," Joseph Truxler said.

How to ensure that your child gets a healthy mix of work and play this year.
It seems as though kids these days have more and more priorities each and every year that they have to balance. Between soccer practice, homework, participating in clubs, playing with friends and spending time with family, it can seem nearly impossible some days to try and fit it all in. Sooner or later, you may even feel as though you need to start sacrificing some activities over others in order to have a more manageable schedule. But is it fair to your child to start cutting the fun activities out of their life in favor of more time for school work?
Many studies have shown that play time is just as important for a child´s growth as homework and learning is. It helps them become more comfortable with their peers, develop cognitive and social skills, and even improve their performance in school. Therefore, it is important that parents are ensuring that their children are maintaining a healthy balance of both work and play each and every school year.
It is very possible for a child (and their family) to be able maintain a full mix of schoolwork, play and free time and long as they have a well-managed schedule laid out for them and the proper help from the entire family in order to succeed at each activity. Here are just a few tips for achieving that healthy mix of work and play time during your child´s upcoming school year:
Keep A Planner For Your Whole Family
It is easy to forget about an upcoming school project or big playoff sports game if you are never writing down the upcoming events in your schedule. Keeping a planner that details important due dates, events and school items for each member in your family will help your entire household plan out when you have free time, when you should mark off time during the day to devote to school work, and when your family has prior commitments that you need to fulfill. Having all of these events laid out in one organized place is the first step to helping your entire family feel more organized and prepared.
Map Our Your Priorities
At certain points throughout the year, you may find that you or one of your children have events or activities that fall at the same time, such as a sports practice for John the same night before he has a huge exam at school. In order to prepare for a moment where you have to decide between one or more activities, your whole family should decide at the beginning of the school year what your priorities are and you need to stick to them all year long. For instance, it may be a given that school assignments should always come before play time or sports events, but can weekly family dinner be moved to accommodate for a sports practice or play rehearsal? Decide together as a family.
Talk With Teachers
A great way to keep on top of your child´s school work and always ensure that they are keeping ahead with their studies is to maintain a communicative relationship with their teachers. If you know that you have a trip coming up with your family and don´t want your child to fall behind on any projects or reading, ask for their assignments early so that you can get a head start on them. Staying in touch with your child´s teacher is also great because they can let you know if your child is falling behind on certain subjects or needs to focus on one area of their studies more so that they do not fall behind while participating in other activities.
How do you ensure that everyone in your family maintains a good mix of work and play during the school year? Be sure to share your thoughts and suggestions in the comments below!

A9 TV, March 27th, 2012
Jesus the Messiah is a humble, sweet and glorious entity. He will sit and eat with village people. He will kiss the hands of old people and embrace them. He will wear a robe and put children on his lap. The moral values of Jesus the Messiah are like those of our Prophet (saas). Jesus the Messiah is a most lofty person. He will embrace the old and delight in wearing their robes. He will delight in honoring them. You see how he wiped his face with the shirt of the Prophet Joseph (pbuh)? Israel was a prophet himself. That is something beautiful, love. He placed his mother and father on the throne. Were his mother and father prophets? He sat on the floor. Why? This is because of the moral values of a prophet. This is humbleness. Jesus the Messiah will embrace our sheikh out of his own fine moral values. He will kiss his hand out of humility. He will wear his robe out of humility and fine moral values. Since pride is what is most important among the bigots, they evaluate everything in that light.
(Mr. Adnan Oktar interprets verses from Surat al-A'raf)
Verse 150
"When Moses returned to his people in anger and great sorrow, he said, 'What an evil thing you did in my absence after I left! Did you want to hasten your Lord's command'?"
In anger and great sorrow. He was angered because of his Islamic zeal. Prophets cannot grieve, of course. This was an error of the prophet. But one can be angered. What happens when Muslims have no leader? Corruption. Can a collective identity save them? Look, the collective identity abandons them there. So a collective identity is not enough. "He threw down the Tablets and seized hold of his brother's head, dragging him towards him. Aaron said, 'Son of my mother, The people oppressed me and almost killed me. Do not give my enemies cause to gloat over me. Do not include me with the wrongdoing people'," says Aaron (pbuh). The fanatics of the time went crazy. There have always been bigots. Bigots even attack prophets. "Do not give my enemies cause to gloat over me. Do not include me with the wrongdoing people." He approaches the Prophet Moses (pbuh) from his weak side, so he will let him go because he is so furious he refuses to let go off his head and beard. He has one hand on his hair and one on his beard, but the Prophet Moses (pbuh) calms down when he says that.
Verse 151
"He [Moses] said, 'My Lord, forgive me and my brother and admit us into Your mercy. You are the Most Merciful of the merciful'."
The Prophet Moses (pbuh) is afraid of Allah's wrath, of course.
Verse 152
"As for those who adopted the calf, anger from their Lord will overtake them together with abasement in the life of the world." Darwinists today have made the monkey their own ideal, haven't they? That is a scourge on the world. One that comes when faith is weak. "That is how we repay the purveyors of falsehood." Darwinists and materialists should learn from this. Allah will certainly repay them.
Verse 153
"But as for those who do evil actions and then subsequently ask forgiveness and faith, in that case your Lord is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
It is fine to do evil and then repent. But there is no need to be paralyzed after having done evil in the past. One must surrender to Allah and repent. In that case Allah says, "But as for those who do evil actions and then subsequently ask forgiveness and believe , in that case your Lord is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
Verse 154
"When Moses' anger abated he picked up the Tablets and in their inscription was guidance and mercy for all of them who feared their Lord." For those who fear Allah, the word Mahdi is a way out, as a manifestation of Allah's name of 'Hadi,' isn't it? "And mercy for all of them" (was written).
Verse 155
"Moses chose seventy men from his people for Our appointed time," The Sanhedrin Council has now been re-established. There was no Sanhedrin Council for a long time. Not for thousands of years. According to the Torah, according to Judaic belief, the establishment of the Sanhedrin is one of the portents of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) because Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will start work with the approval of the Sanhedrin. They ask the Sanhedrin what they think, and they say they think this person is the Mahdi. This is then announced to the people. "and when the earthquake seized them he said, 'My Lord, if You had willed, You could have destroyed them previously and me as well'." The date of the founding of the Sanhedrin is the earthquake in 1999. They thought great events would take place in that time. In other words, by Allah's leave, the course of history changed then, in 1999. Through that earthquake because it happened in the wake of their decision. "Would you destroy us for what the fools among us did?" There are fools now, too, among the Jews. "It was only a trial from You by which You misguided those You willed and guided those You willed." So, he becomes the Mahdi (pbuh). Like the Mahdi. "You are our Protector so forgive us and have mercy on us. You are the Best of Forgivers."
Verse 156
"Prescribe good for us in the world and the hereafter. We have truly turned to You.' He said, 'As for My punishment, I strike with it anyone I will. My mercy extends to all things'," the mercy of Allah enfolds all things, without exception. "but I will prescribe it for those who are pious and pay alms, and those who believe in Our Signs:" I will write the commandments of Allah for believers.
Verse 157
"Those who follow the Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, whom they find written down with them in the Torah and the Gospel," Allah says it is written in the Torah and the Gospel, but some people say the Torah and the Gospel are not valid. But Allah says in this verse that they are. We see this in the Torah and the Gospel. All those commandments of the Gospel and the Torah that are compatible with the Qur'an are valid. Those that contradict the Qur'an are invalid. Our Prophet (saas) was illiterate. He could not read or write Arabic. The Mahdi (pbuh) will also not be able to read or write Arabic. "...commanding them to do right and forbidding them to do wrong, making good things halal for them and bad things illicit for them, relieving them of their heavy loads and the chains which were around them." He corrects all nonsense, insha'Allah.
Our Prophet (saas) said that red hair is attractive. They dyed their hair black. Our Prophet (saas) dyed his own hair black. He used the same dye as our mother Hazrat Ayesha (r.a). Our Prophet (saas) would dye his hair at the same time as our mother Ayesha (r.a) dyed hers, insha'Allah. But one of the Companions arrived with hair dyed red with henna, and he said that looked attractive. So Muslims are well-groomed. Our prophet (saas) wore a very attractive Byzantine robe at that time. His shoes were very well maintained. He parted his hair down the middle. It was long, reaching down to his shoulders, and the Prophet (saas) plaited it on either side. Our mother Ayesha (r.a) plaited it. He also plaited it himself, though our mother may also have done it. That is an adornment, isn't it?. Our Prophet (saas) used kohl on his eyes. His eyes were dark from birth, but he used kohl on them, as well. He rubbed a perfumed olive oil into his hair to make it shine. That is an adornment, isn't it? The hair cream in those days was a perfumed olive oil, so his hair shone very brightly, masha'Allah. His eyes were pitch black. He rubbed it into his beard, so that also shone brightly. He dressed very well.
"Hazrat Ayesha (ra) narrates: Rasulullah (saas) called on the women of Ansar at one of their weddings. They were singing songs." That kind of thing drives the bigots crazy to hear.
"Our Prophet (saas) attended the wedding ceremony of the daughter of Muavviz Ibn Afra, Ar-Rubayyi. He sat next to her." He sat next to the woman. That drives the bigots crazy. That kind of thing. "Some girls started playing the tambourines and singing songs about the deeds of the martyrs at the Battle of Badir." From Bukhari.
"Hazrat Ayesha (ra) arranged for a woman of the Ansar to marry. Our Prophet (saas) said, "O Ayesha, do you have no singer to play the tambourines with you. Because the Ansar enjoy such entertainments." Look, the Ansar like singing and dancing. Rasulullah (saas) says this in Bukhari, in the Nuptials section.
Young girls who welcomed our Prophet (saas) did so singing songs.
"Rasulullah (saas) used kohl when he was fasting." He even used kohl when he fasted.
"The ladies of paradise sing for their husbands with lovely voices that have never been heard before," he says. This happens even in paradise.
The Companions, too. Aba Qatar also rubbed in hair cream made of olive oil into his hair twice a day. It shone very brightly. They used all kinds of adornment.
"An account from Ibni Abbas; A man who had dyed his hair with henna passed by our Prophet (saas). Rasulullah (saas) said how good that looked. Later on, another man who had dyed his hair black with henna and hemp passed by. He said that he looked even better. The man with black or brown hair. Then another man who had dyed his hair blond passed by. He said that he looked the best of them all." So what is the bigots' problem?2012-04-21 21:55:05

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/11/2012 (1739 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
THEY lingered in the dressing room longer than usual, undoubtedly trading stories and barbs while soaking up every moment of being together.
NHL players are missing not just the game and the paycheques due to the lockout, they're missing one of the first things retired players speak about when they walk away from the game: the camaraderie in the locker-room.
"It's something you maybe take for granted when you're playing," said Winnipeg Jets captain Andrew Ladd after Saturday's "Goals For Dreams" charity game. "When you don't have it, you miss it. That's an unfortunate part of what's going on right now. Everyone here enjoyed that opportunity and to be able to play a game."
"That's what you get used to doing every day, being around the guys," added Jonathan Toews. "It's just a different feel right now. There's scattered all over, maybe a couple of guys in each city skating and working out. It's definitely not the same routine as you have normally."
MR. HONEST: Here's Tanner Glass when asked if the game Saturday helped feed his fix for game action:
"I think I got worse out there today, as far as hockey goes," said Glass with a chuckle. "But it's fun. It's a good bunch of guys involved and it's for a good cause. That was the main thing today, to help out the charities.
CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN: Toews, on former teammate and current Jet captain Ladd: "He's done such a good job so far here. I call him 'Captain Winnipeg.' He's the golden boy here in Winnipeg. He's just an all-round great guy and he does things the right way. He's a real pro."
PLAN B: As the lockout drags on, more and more players are again considering options overseas.
Said Glass: "I'd like to... but I don't know how many teams are looking for a third- or fourth-line grinder over there. If the season gets cancelled I'd definitely look over there..."
And Toews: "I always answer that question by saying I want to be in Chicago. I want to be playing for the Hawks and those fans there. I owe everything to them for the great five years that I've had. But if the situation arises and opportunities come around you have to do what you have to do in that situation. I'm a hockey player and if that's the way it's going to be, we'll see what happens."
firstname.lastname@example.com Twitter: @WFPEdTait
The result: Team Ladd defeated Team Stuart, 14-8
The cheque: $80,000 presented to The Dream Factory and The Children's Hospital Foundation
The snipers (unofficial)
Team Ladd: Troy Brouwer (3), Jonathan Toews (2), Patrolman Dale Butland (2), Andrew Ladd (2), Bryan Little, Thomas Steen (on a goofy penalty shot in which he used a short plastic stick -- Theo Fleury's, joked referee Ron Hoggarth), Jim Slater, Patrolman Brian Hearn, Patrolman Al Mymryk.
Team Stuart: Colin Wilson (3), Ryan Reaves (2), Olli Jokinen, Mike Richards, Patrolman Max Waddell.
Quotable 1: Here's Andrew Ladd on if the result proved he has a future as a GM: "Either I'm really good or Stuey (Mark Stuart) is really bad. We had fun and it didn't matter what the score was. The charities were the one's that really won the game."
Ladd Quotable II: "It was awesome. Right from the get-go, not only the turnout, but the support from the businesses that helped us out in sponsoring the event and sponsoring the individual players was awesome. Everyone was eager to get involved and to help out. This wouldn't have been possible without their support."
Spotted: A banner done up by the U of M Engineering band: "Hey NHLers -- No Job? -- Join Engineering!"
No-no: The game was to feature no body-checking or slapshots. That didn't stop Jonathan Toews from unloading a couple of howitzers. Asked about it afterward, Toews grinned sheepishly and said: "I didn't know about that. Oops. I tried not to hit the goalie anyways, so..."

Pink shows Venice, California her underwear
a href="/">
It's socially acceptable to go out in your pajamas, but usually if you're in college or it's late at night. I'd let something like this slide if we were talking about Alessandra Ambrosio or Jessica Alba or anybody else that could pull off being a woman, but Pink? I'm barely okay with her being seen in public with her regular clothes on, let alone riding around in a sports bra.

A SHOP owner has told of his anger after thieves stole a safe containing almost £4,000 cash in a smash and grab raid.
Raiders targeted Sunseed in South Street, Wellington, on Saturday and ripped up the safe bolted to the floor before stealing takings from the Christmas period.
Owner Tony Bourne said: "I feel angry how they target hard-working people.
"People work hard for the things they've got, and others come along and ruin it."
Mr Bourne has run the wholefoods and natural beauty store for 25 years, and says he has been targeted once in the past.
Several jewellers in the town have been raided in the past year – in Decem-ber, jewellery worth £6,000 was snatched from Wim's Jewellery By Design in Fore Street, while GJ Jam-ieson in Lancer Court was raided three times in a year.
Mr Bourne said: "We came in, and saw they'd smashed through the back door and the safe was ripped from the floor.
"They took money made over Christmas. I didn't have a chance to put the money in the bank over Christmas because they were closed. "The insurance only covers small amounts, so it's having to come out of my own pocket – it's annoying and difficult to deal with. "I can understand why thieves would target a jeweller, but I must be near the bottom of the pecking order." Sgt Helen Boyd, of Welling-ton police, said: "Enquiries are ongoing and we're looking at CCTV to try to identify the offenders."

Did you know?
The village of Shakaskraal, a North Coast attraction, has only one street.
The North Coast, KwaZulu-Natal, stretches from Zimbali in the south to the Thukela River in the north. While beaches, battle sites and heritage routes comprise the major North Coast attractions, the coastal towns of Ballito, Salt Rock, Umdloti and Zinkwazi offer up endless North Coast activities.
KwaZulu-Natal's North Coast is also known as the Dolphin Coast due to the hundreds of bottlenose dolphins that frequent this part of the coast. They can be seen all year round, frolicking in the warm waters just offshore.
The coast can be explored by boat, providing front row seats from which to watch the dolphins at play, or on horseback or by microlight, which offers a bird's-eye view of this spectacular region. Of course you could just while away the days lazing on the exquisite beaches of Ballito, Blythedale, Prince's Grant and Sheffield, which is also a hot snorkelling spot.
The influence of the Zulu culture and the legacy left by King Shaka is tangible here. Salt Rock was once his home and Shaka's Rock a favourite look-out point. Inland, at KwaDukuza-Stanger, you can see a memorial to the king, built on his gravesite.
Shaka's grave forms part of the local Zulu Heritage Route, which takes in numerous sites associated with his reign. You can also visit the tiny town of Shakaskraal - the site of Shaka's royal military homestead and today home to many traditional African healers. Explore this theme further on the Muti (African medicine) Trail in the Harold Johnson Nature Reserve.
The North Coast has a strong Indian influence, reflecting the history of Indian labourers who were brought in to work the sugar cane fields. Visit Indian temples in KwaDuzuka-Stanger or pop in at the colourful markets to pick up authentic food, curios and spices at bargain prices.
Twitchers should definitely stop off at Zinkwazi, which is renowned for its stunning birdlife.

If you're driving from Johannesburg take the N3 freeway direct to Durban. From Cape Town, take the N2 freeway to Durban. From Durban, travel north on the N2 freeway – the region from Zimbali to the Tugela River mouth is the North Coast.
Best time to visit
The North Coast is an all-year-round destination due to its warm climate.
Tours to do
Muti Trail in the Harold Johnson Nature Reserve, microlighting and canopy tours, all at Ballito; King Shaka memorial at Stanger; the beaches of Ballito, Blythedale, Prince's Grant and Sheffield; a round of golf at the Umhlali and Zimbali golf courses.
What to eat
Seafood; Indian cuisine at the markets in KwaDukuza-Stanger.
Best buys
Spices, colourful Indian clothes and curios at the Indian Market in KwaDukuza-Stanger; traditional African arts and crafts at stores along the coast.

8 turn based games on Linux
A turn-based strategy (TBS) game is a strategy game (usually some type of wargame, especially a strategic-level wargame) where players take turns when playing. This is distinguished from real time strategy where all players play simultaneously.
Years ago this was the most common type of strategic games, but there are still a lot of nice games turn-based, and today we'll see some games of this type.

Prescott Center for the Arts Presents HARVEY, Now thru 1/19
Prescott Center for the Arts presents HARVEY by Mary Chase, directed by Bruce Thomson and running tonight, January 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, & 19, 2013 at 7:30 PM (tickets $19) and January 13 & 19, 2013 at 2:00 PM (tickets $15).
Mary Chase's Pulitzer Prize-winner tells the endearing story of the eccentric Elwood P. Dowd and his six foot tall invisible rabbit companion Harvey. AS they tipple from tavern to tavern, they become instant friends with everyone they meet. But after Elwood introduces Harvey to his sister Veta's society friends, she and her daughter Myrtle Mae decide to have Elwood committed to the local sanitarium where mistaken identity leads to a comically improper diagnosis and hilarious consequences. In the play's climactic scene, Veta - and all of us - will be asking ourselves whether "normal" is all it's cracked up to be!

Well this is my first blog of 2012 and can I take this opportunity to wish everyone a safe and happy New Year.
Here at South Worcestershire Police we are just catching our breath following the hectic festive period.
However, policing never stops and as well keeping the residents of Worcester, Wychavon and Malvern safe we are supporting our colleagues from Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Police forces in carrying out some high-profile roadside operations targeting metal thieves and other villains this month.
My officers are also getting about a bit as they have been supporting our colleagues from Herefordshire and Shropshire in policing some high-profile matches at Hereford Utd and Shrewsbury Town.
Now, talking of football I am pleased to say that South Worcestershire Police football team has recently taken possession of a new nice strip; in blue of course!
Officers and community support officers regularly play against community sides as a way of breaking down barriers, particularly with young people.
The only problem now is, whilst we may now look the part, I'm not sure we will play any better! January is of course the time of year when most of us think about getting that little bit fitter and working off the Christmas excess.
However, with the best of intentions one of my officers (who shall remain nameless) sadly injured himself whilst trying to enter into the spirit of things on New Year's Eve by joining in with the Worcester space hopper race.
Thankfully he was not seriously injured and at least showed police officers are human too.
Im also doing my bit by signing up to run the Worcester Half Marathon on Sunday 15 April for a good cause.
If you have nothing else to do that day, come along and support a middle aged copper as I (hopefully) stumble across the line!
Until next time...

Gems 59, Sharks 48
GEMS started strong in their match against Sharks of Yeovil this week.
Having being beaten by them two weeks previous this was a grudge match that Gems needed to win to still leave them in contention of winning the Premier league this season.
Gems were consistent in their play and with their passes and led 11-10 after the first quarter.
In the second quarter Gems showed their strength with Justine Pearn and Hannah Clapp shooting accurately, getting the better of the Sharks defence to lead 29-22 at half time.
In the third quarter Beth Fella, Rachel Lawrence and Danni Kierle were key in defence, pressuring the Sharks attack into making errors and then capitalised by picking up the loose balls and making some excellent interceptions.
In the final quarter, Kelly Thorne and Amy Witcombe supported the team well by staying calm, keeping possession and feeding precise passes into the shooters.
Gems won the match 59-48 and two thirds of the way through the season remain top of the Somerset Netball Premier League and continue in their fight to be champions.
Team man of the match was Justine Pearn and the umpires vote went to Beth Fella.

Radios stolen from 8 vehicles at Lake City dealership
Published: Monday, December 10, 2012 at 12:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 10, 2012 at 12:30 p.m.
Police have no suspects and are continuing to investigate after eight vehicles were reported burglarized last week at the Rountree-Moore Ford car dealership in Lake City.
The fender shop manager of the dealership called police at 10:11 a.m. Thursday to report the thefts at 2588 US 90 W. The stereos inside the vehicles had been removed.
The Lake City Police Department says it believes the culprit or culprits parked at a nearby business and cut a hole in the chain link fence to gain entry to the dealership property.
The eight vehicles were privately owned and left at the body and fender shop for repairs. The vehicle owners have been notified of the burglary. No other items have been reported as stolen by the owners.
To report information concerning the incident or potential suspects, call investigator Mitchell Cline at 386-752-4344 or call the Lake City Police Department anonymously at 386-719 - 2068.

A MAN accused of a stabbing in a flat yards from where hundreds of families were walking to Bridgwater Fair has gone on trial.
Lee Tremayne, 25, of Turner Close, is charged with wounding with intent and assault by beating following two incidents last September.
Mr Tremayne denies the charges and his trial started at Taunton Crown Court today (March 17), due to continue tomorrow.
He is alleged to have stabbed one man on September 26, the day after assaulting a female.
A jury – made up of eight men and four women – was sworn in and told of the charges against Mr Tremayne.
Judge David Ticehurst also warned members not to discuss the case or to carry out their own research.
The prosecution was due to open its case against Mr Tremayne this afternoon and the first witness was expected to give evidence.
Mr Tremayne's defence is due to be heard on Tuesday before the judge sums up the case. It is then that the jury will retire to consider its verdict.
As reported in the Mercury last year, police were called to a flat at Southbourne House, just off West Street – one of the main routes to the popular town fair – at around 6.30pm.
Ambulance crews said a man in his 30s was taken to Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton, in a serious but not life-threatening condition.
The incident is thought to be unconnected to the fair but sparked a wave of rumours on social media that it was to close. However, it carried on as normal.
Mr Tremayne denies both charges and the trial continues.

The Crap We Missed – Thursday 10.31.13
Welcome to Thursday's The Crap We Missed, your daily trudge through the minefield of my brain that thinks creating picture galleries including Vikram Chatwal's discount Lindsay Lohan and Bethenny Frankel single-handedly destroying two small girls' sense of self-esteem is a worthy use of time. Seriously, it's a crazy place in there. HAHA, I just imagined Josh Hartnett got hired to play a cowboy on a British TV show about monsters. Can you imagine? *googles, room spins* I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S REAL ANYMORE!!
By the way, today's Final Five and I have only two things in common. 1.) A first name. 2.) A legally binding restriction on the distance that must be kept between us, which is no problem because I'm pretty sure that thing is visible from space,

Found on the Tape ARG
There's this YouTube channel which has lately been posting creepy arse vids. Using black magic, people found maps for Source games hidden as clues in urls or something (I don't understand wizardry) and immediately assumed it was a Valve ARG. It is, sadly, not, but what it is is awesome nonetheless.
Two different maps have been found, the first one is pretty much just a "screamer" but the second is more of a maze with creepy shit.
THIS IS ONGOING. There're probably a few more videos to go and a lot more clues to unearth, so be sure to join in.
If you have Steam and want to discuss, feel free to join us (me alone at the minute, because of a distinct lack of Europeans :( ) in the Steam group.
First map.
Second map.
Anyone else playing about with this stuff?

Welcome to Wednesday's The Crap We Missed featuring Mark Wahlberg wearing his rosary beads on Extra, presumably because he knew this was bound to happen and everyone knows if he touches himself, the terrorists win. We've also got Kevin Jonas with his pregnant wif–AHAHA I can't even finish that and Leonardo DiCaprio trying to muffle the desperate cries of "Leo! Leo! It's me, Jonah!

U.S. Home Prices Climb at Fastest Clip in 7 Years
Index Shows 12.4% Annual Increase in July, but Signs Emerge of Moderating Gains
U.S. home prices rose by their fastest pace in more than seven years during July, according to an index released Tuesday, though more recent data suggest price gains could soon moderate.
Prices in 20 major U.S. cities increased 12.4% in July compared to the same month last year, according to the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller index.
Home-price inflation accelerated sharply over the past year as more buyers have chased a...

Some Freemasons were very soulless, without love. Intelligent Freemasons, those who love Allah took precedence, this is very beautiful. The smart Templars, those who can think profoundly, have taken precedence. The deep world state has attained such a state that they have come to love Allah. While they were Darwinists-Materialists before the deep world state, indeed while they were communists, they have now admitted that Unity of Islam is rational and beautiful. The big capital owners, the hidden capital owners in Europe are now convinced that the Unity of Islam will bring great blessings. They are of this conviction now. Allah convinces them, it progresses gradually. Love thrives. In the past, love was known only as something extraordinary. But now they have noticed that it is life itself; it is something that is absolutely needed.
(In response to an e-mail of an audience member, "Is it a sin to have plastic surgery?")
It may be possible if there is something really extraordinary. But it must be of a very vital need, otherwise it is unacceptable, for narcosis is in question.
(Just before the United States presidential elections, news reports regarding Barack Obama's Muslim identity increased. It was also stated that inside the ring which Barack Obama has been using since he was a college student was inscribed "La ilaha illallah")
(Mesut Barzani called the Kurdish groups in Turkey, Syria, Iran and Iraq for a democratic and peaceful struggle.)
You may tell this to the PKK; and in response they will say, "This is indeed fine; why did we not think of it before!" and they will simply lay down their arms! There is nothing of that sort. The PKK does not heed any parliaments. They will just communicate their own conviction. Against Marxist-Leninst thinking, such superficial measures are not becoming. An intellectual, scientific and rational response must be given.

National Geographic Bird Coloration by Geoffrey E. Hill has gorgeous pictures and lively explanations that captivate beginners as well as serious twitchers. Author and noted ornithologist Geoff Hill takes readers on an informative visual and narrative tour. Seventeen short chapters with engaging narrative and lots of photos with information-packed captions illustrate the mechanisms by which birds produce the characteristic and sometimes brilliant coloration of their feathers and other body parts. It looks at the function of ornamental coloration and at how birds' signaling attracts mates and deters competitors. It gives answers to common questions such as why a male peacock makes its stunning tail displays and why a juvenile Roseate Spoonbill has coloration different from either parent.

Desormeaux was scheduled on only two horses – Heat Du Jour for trainer Jerry Hollendorfer in the seventh race and the Francis Meza-trained Dark Timbers in the nightcap.

Even though six horses are running there will be no show wagering in the 1 1/16-mile race because Untapable is such a prohibitive favorite. A winner of five of seven lifetime starts, the daughter of Tapit will be ridden by John Velazquez with her regular jockey, Rosie Napravnik, sidelined by injuries sustained in a training accident. Untapable, trained by Steve Asmussen, is unbeaten in three starts this year.
•Jockey Rafael Bejarano, runaway leading rider of Santa Anita's winter meeting with 93 victories, is expected back for the Del Mar meet that begins July 17. Bejarano has been sidelined with multiple injuries that were sustained in a riding accident on May 10 at Santa Anita. "He presently is in therapy for a week and a half and is scheduled to ride at Del Mar opening day," said Joe Ferrer, Bejarano's agent. Bejarano said he will begin exercising and working horses a few days before the start of Del Mar. Bejarano, a native of Peru, celebrated his 32nd birthday Monday.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/10/2013 (1419 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
When Montreal enforcer George Parros dropped his gloves on Tuesday night to fight Colton Orr of the Toronto Maple Leafs, it wasn't what you'd call a seismic event.
The two have fought each other numerous times. The media predicted the two men would drop the gloves to settle, or perhaps prolong, a pugilistic dispute between the Leafs and Habs that began with a series of fights last season.
But when Parros fell face down onto the ice and lay motionless in a pool of his own blood, the fight suddenly found its seismic identity.
On the opening night of a strike- and lockout-free NHL season, the fight became the biggest story. Some leading voices in hockey -- notably Tampa Bay Lightening GM Steve Yzerman, Carolina Hurricanes GM Jim Rutherford and Pittsburgh Penguins GM Ray Shero -- said the NHL must look for ways to eliminate fighting. Yzerman in particular pointed out how stupid fighting is in a sport trying to cut down on checks to the head.
Many more voices, lamentably, went to great lengths to defend the status quo.
It's the same tired process. Not really a debate, because most of the people who express opinions on the subject -- former players and unemployed coaches in particular -- are almost always predisposed to support fighting. And not just because they think it would be difficult to get rid of. They actually argue fighting is good for the game.
However, if hockey's old guard needs a good reason to end fighting, they might want consider the impact it has on the youngest players in the game.
Most hockey opinion leaders are quick off the mark to explain that fighting in professional hockey has absolutely no impact on minor hockey. They will argue pros are adults, the rules are different, and children are simply not allowed to engage in the staged brutality the NHL allows.
However, every time a pro hockey player delivers a face wash to an opponent, or viciously slashes a puck carrier, or drops his gloves for a fight, there is a trickle-down effect that indoctrinates coaches, parents, and children in hockey violence.
This is an interesting time to have yet another debate on fighting, as all over the city kids have just finished vying for spots in AA (11 and up) and AAA (13 and up) programs. This is where kids get their first taste of higher-level hockey, and where (up until this year) bodychecking is introduced.
Prior to this, kids competed for spots on A1 teams based mostly on skill. As soon as the first 11-year-old AA camp opens up, however, the focus shifts. This is where we begin to emulate, and reward, the violence of the professional game.
The violence and recklessness ramps up significantly at age 13, when AAA hockey is introduced. The fastest, fiercest and biggest players establish their AAA credentials in large part by demonstrating a capacity for violence.
The result is in tryouts, parents watch helplessly as larger and less skilled players take violent liberties with smaller, skilled players. All in an effort to get noticed by the coach picking the team. The fact is, if your child is good at hockey, you must teach and encourage them to adopt the dangerous, reckless attitudes of professionals because we all know this is the only way to advance in hockey.
When it comes time for the special few players to rise to the ranks of junior hockey, it doesn't take much arm-twisting to add fighting to the inventory of acceptable methods of intimidation.
It is only when you look at the amount of reckless violence in minor hockey you begin to see the tragic irony in the argument the old guard makes for keeping fighting in the game.
Pro-fighting voices, including the NHL Player's Association, argue that fighting is actually the only way to curb dangerous behaviour like hits from behind, head shots and reckless stickwork. Fighting is a deterrent, or a punishment, for anyone who takes violent liberties with the skilled players.
That's a pretty tortured logic. Fighting isn't a deterrent. It's the final stage in the escalation of hockey violence. More importantly, it's an important signal to young players and their families violence is necessary for success.
If the ultimate goal is to stop reckless, dangerous play, then perhaps we should be teaching players at the youngest ages they will not get ahead simply by being the most violent player on the ice. Or, by ensuring that when it comes time to advance players through the hockey system, we reward noble qualities like intelligence, loyalty, courage and fair play, rather than quietly encouraging violence for violence's sake.
Rather than waiting for pro-fighting forces to become enlightened, perhaps we could start by teaching the kids violence is not the road to success.

And Now for a Woman Traveler's Take on Women in Egypt
Thanks so much for all your comments as you've traveled along with me through Egypt. I'm struck by how much apparent ill will there is against Egypt and how people think I'm promoting aspects of Egypt that anger them. Egypt simply "is." Rather than condemn or condone aspects of its culture, I'm experiencing it. Being here (as a tourist with enough money for a guide and good hotel) is no less safe than being in America. I'm loving it, but I would not personally take tours from my company here because it's a bit rough for my "demographic." I can hardly wait to return with my film crew next season.
As I've mentioned, I'm traveling here with my partner, Trish Feaster (who's writing a wonderful blog of her own at The Travelphile. With all the talk of Egypt's treatment of women–and American women wondering what it's like for a woman to be here, I thought it would be instructive to get Trish's take on it. Here's her latest post written after about 10 days on the streets of Egypt.
To enjoy more of Trish's insights, writing, and great photography, like her Facebook page. She'll report on Egypt, Israel, and more travels in the coming weeks. Thanks.
Women, Religion and Politics in Egypt
By Trish Feaster, The Travelphile
As a woman, I cherish the hard-earned rights, freedom, and respect that my gender enjoys in America and throughout the Western world. We've come a long way in the last century, but we still face challenges and work diligently to hurdle them. And because we recognize the value and contributions of women, no matter where they live, we want all women to savor the same opportunities we have. Here in Egypt, I'm finding out that although the current definition of rights, freedom, and respect may seem to differ a bit compared to my home, many women are finding ways to express themselves religiously and politically loud and clear.
Visiting various neighborhoods in Cairo, we met mostly Muslims and just a smattering of Coptic Christians, but you might not know who's who just from looking. Naively, I subconsciously believed that any woman wearing a headscarf would be Muslim, and anyone who's not would be Christian. Our guide Hanna–a devout Muslim with liberal politics whose curly locks were hidden under a tight black wrap and a fancy baseball cap–explained that many Copt women also wear headscarves, and that wearing one is a personal choice for any woman. While Islamic tradition would have women appropriately covered in public except for their hands and face, in practice, how Egyptian Muslim women interpret that tradition ranges from wearing no hair cover at all to dressing in the full hijab/burka (a gown-like dress with head covering that exposes only the eyes). Hanna quipped, "Some think they're doing extra so they can earn more favor with God."
Another friend, twenty-something Marwa, shared with me that how one dresses is an expression of individuality–and even rebellion–as much as it is of religion. In big cities like Cairo, Alexandria, and Luxor, I found myself entranced by the women's visual expressions of religion and modesty: full hijab, primly wrapped headscarves accompanying black muumuu-like galabiyas that cover everything from the neck down, and modern attire with peek-a-boo bangs under headscarves that look like they're about to come undone.
Only in the villages and countryside do you find practically every woman in all black, wearing the long, shapeless dresses that denote conformity to the conservative view. Still, Marwa was confident that no Egyptian woman is forced to wear a particular type of garment, and rebellion against the norm is not exclusive to the less religious or the wealthy. In urban areas (which tend to lean liberal), extreme conservatism has flowered lately because rules have become less enforced in Egypt, not more–and women want to express their opposition to that trend. If how you express your religion (and yourself) is a choice, plenty of women in Egypt–conservative and liberal–are exercising that right to its fullest.
While how one dresses can correlate with one's religion and how devout one may be, people I spoke with assured me that it's irrelevant to how most Egyptians interact with one another. The degree of piety doesn't prevent socializing with another group. Asking my Muslim friend Heba for her take on this (she chooses to dress modestly and to meticulously cover her hair in public or when her family has male guests who aren't relatives), she agreed, saying, "What you do and what you believe is between you and your God. It's no one else's business."
In a country where conservative attire is pretty standard, in my usual clothes I would stand out like a sore thumb. So, pants or long skirts with long-sleeve shirts were my daily uniform, and a fashionable scarf around my neck could quickly double as a headscarf when more modest attire was required in mosques, churches, or in certain private homes. I came to appreciate the practicality of wearing a headscarf (not having to fix my hair, protecting myself from the sun or wind). I felt comfortably more engaged with the people, and I think people appreciated me showing my heartfelt respect for their social and religious cultures.
With respect to how I was treated as a woman, I really can't complain. Most everyone I met–male and female–was not only courteous but genuinely friendly, too. Nonetheless, Egypt is a man's world where women abide by a certain expected level of decorum in public, and I was conscious of that. Walking down the streets at whatever hour, I was mindful of staying close to Rick or our guide. Yet despite recent isolated yet horrific incidents or violence towards women, I never once felt like I was in danger or sensed any degree of animosity. Intermittent stares and barely audible comments from men like "Hey, beautiful! Where you from?" or "Pretty lady, you Japan?" were about as lascivious as a middle-schooler awkwardly trying to flirt with his teacher. I've been treated worse on a New York subway train or walking through downtown San Diego.
Because of their contributions and prominence in the Revolution, women, who rarely had a voice until then, are gaining confidence that their role is evolving ever forward. Even so, there are some in this country who would have them return to their "proper" place: Be seen and not heard, and don't upset the pomegranate cart. This has been manifested in serious assaults on and violence towards women during demonstrations in Tahrir Square. My friends here (male and female) give me various versions of these incidents–all condemn them, but each qualifies the events with varying degrees of blame on the individual attackers, mob mentality, and even the government itself.
Turning to Heba again, I asked whether she thought life for women has improved or worsened since the Revolution. She told me, "So many women in Egypt now realize that their voice matters, but conservative and extremely traditional groups want to keep us silent. It's hard for us now, and some women have paid a terrible price. But we've tasted freedom, and we will never go back."
Progress is evolutionary. Sometimes it feels likes change happens overnight. Other times, things move so slowly that we can't even perceive those transformations. But things do change…and usually for the better. Things are complicated but evolving here for women in Egypt–differently than they have in other parts of the world, but still in forward motion. We may not fully understand the cultural context but it's fascinating to try and learn about it.

Dumbledore mentions that he's got special privileges inside Hogwarts. Is this right? Can he really apparate in and out of Hogwarts? Because in the Astronomy Tower, they were supposed to be in broomsticks, right? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Loveluna (talk • contribs).
- Yes, that's correct. No-one can Apparate or Disapparate from within Hogwarts. In the books, as you said, they use brooms (at least to return) and Apparate/Disapparate from Hogsmeade. The movie was just using creative license. Please don't forget to sign your edits with four tildes (~). Thanks! --Margiechocoholic Owl me! 08:42, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
- Aren't the movies considered canon however, unless they contradict the books, according to our policy? The books never specifically say that Dumbledore cannot Apparate in or out of the castle. Sure, Hermione says that absouloutely no one can Apparate or Disapparate, but Harry, who spends a great deal of time in her company, seemed genuinely surprised upon learning this information. It seems possible, therefore, that the ability to Apparate in or out of the school is a right reserved to the Headmaster, unbeknownst to the students, or even that what Dumbledore meant by "having privleges," was that he temporarly lifted the charms preventing Disapparating, which we know he has the power to do, according to Wilkie Twycross in the Half-Blood Prince novel. --Parodist 01:38, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
- As Parodist has mentioned above, in the Half-Blood Prince novel durring their first apparation lesson Wilkie Twycross explains that the great halls anti disapparation cham had been lifted by Dumbledore. It seems reasonable that Dumbledore would also be able to do this in order to disapparate with Harry.--Darth Jadious 07:31, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
One Question, how did Dumbledore, apparate in the fifth film to, when he was told by the Minister that he was to go to Azkaban just wondered
--Hogwarts09 19:53, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
1) Actually in the 6th book he says something about not being able to apparate inside, and 2) In the fifth book/film , he didn't apparate, Fawkes just "apparated" or whatever you want to call it, and Dumbledore went with him. I'm assuming that Phoenix's have certain other abilities, like how house elves can apparate within certain areas. It's kinda like how Dobby saved everyone from Malfoy Manor. NeebsLucas11 19:42, December 30, 2009 (UTC)Gabey
- Dumbledore wasn't able to disapparate from Hogwarts if he didn't lift the security charms around the school. But he was the only one able to lift those charms, and after doing so, even a sixth-year could apparate into and out of the castle.
- And actually, Fawkes only disapparates from Hogwarts in the film. In the book, Fawkes flys away taking Dumbledore with him. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 19:51, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
In the book he stuns them and then does the same thing with Fawkes as in the movie. It says Fawkes flew overhead and they disappeared in a burst of flame. NeebsLucas11 20:02, December 30, 2009 (UTC)Gabey
- My bad, then! =P Yeah, that's probably because of phoenixes' unique magical abilities. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 20:08, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Liberty Holds Off PC, 59-51
|Emily Frazier contributed 16 points, five assists and four rebounds to Liberty's 59-51 win over Presbyterian College.
The Liberty duo of Emily Frazier and Ashley Rininger helped the Lady Flames withstand a furious second-half comeback by Presbyterian College, Saturday evening at the Vines Center. Liberty held on for a 59-51 victory, taking over sole possession of first place in the Big South standings.
Rininger posted her fourth straight double-double (18 points, 11 rebounds) and Frazier added 16 points, five rebounds and four assists. As a result, Liberty improved to 10-6 overall and 6-1 in Big South play, taking a one-half game lead atop the conference standings.
The Lady Flames, who were able to avenge a home loss to PC from the 2012-13 season, have now won four straight games overall and five consecutive contests at the Vines Center.
Presbyterian College cut a 16-point second-half deficit to four, but fell to 3-13 overall and 1-6 in the Big South with its 10th straight road setback. Senior guard Karlee Taylor led PC's charge, scoring 16 of her career-high 24 points during the second half. She also matched her career high with six three-pointers, tying the Vines Center single-game record by an opposing player.
Keyonna Allen scored from close range on Presbyterian College's first offensive possession, but the Blue Hose then missed their next seven field goal attempts. Liberty outscored the Blue Hose, 7-1, during that span, taking a 10-3 lead on Rininger's old-fashioned three-point play at the 14:56 mark.
The Lady Flames experienced a scoring drought of 5:12, enabling PC to pull within 12-9 on a Noelle Carter jumper, 12:20 before halftime.
Frazier helped Liberty maintain the advantage, having a hand in five straight Lady Flames' hoops, including seven points and two assists.
Liberty's lead got as large as nine (26-17) before PC got to within 29-23 at the intermission.
The Lady Flames made 41.7 percent (10-of-24) of their first-half field goal attempts, as compared with 26.7 percent (8-of-30) for the visiting Blue Hose.
Liberty won the first-half rebounding battle by a 23-19 count, but the Lady Flames were limited to 10 points in the paint.
Frazier led all players with 10 points during the opening half, while Rininger and Katelyn Adams snagged five rebounds apiece.
Taylor's eight first-half points paced the Blue Hose, while Allen pulled down seven rebounds in just eight minutes of action.
Liberty opened the second half with an 8-0 spurt. Rininger scored six of those points, including a finger roll with 15:53 to play which gave the Lady Flames a 37-23 edge.
Taylor scored five points during Liberty's ensuing 7-0 surge, including a mid-range jumper at 13:28 that made it 37-30, Lady Flames.
Rininger tallied six more points during the next 3:56, helping Liberty outscore PC 12-3. Her hoop at the 9:32 mark lifted the Lady Flames' cushion to 16 points, 49-33.
The Blue Hose responded again, countering with a 16-4 run which included eight points by Taylor. The senior's trifecta with 2:16 to play made it just a four-point game at 53-49.
However, Frazier and Adams combined to make all six of their free throw attempts during the final 1:04, enabling Liberty to hold on for a 59-51 triumph.
The Lady Flames scored 16 points in the paint after halftime, helping them pull their final field goal percentage up to 44.4 percent (20-of-45). Liberty also connected on eight of its nine free throw tries after halftime, finishing the game at 73.7 percent (14-of-19).
Presbyterian College made six three-pointers (all by Taylor) on the night, but shot just 29.6 percent (16-of-54) from the field overall. The Blue Hose were able to keep the game close by committing a season-low five turnovers and scoring 13 second-chance points.
Liberty outrebounded its 14th straight opponent, 41-32, and outscored PC inside the paint by 16 tallies (26-10).
Rininger scored 12 of her 18 points after halftime on the way to her 11th double-double of the season. Frazier's 16 points were just one shy of her career high and matched her scoring output from Liberty's 2012-13 matchup with the Blue Hose.
Adams ended up with eight rebounds for the Lady Flames, while Reagan Miller sank two triples during an eight-point, four-assist evening.
Taylor was the lone PC player to score in double figures. Allen tied her for team-high rebounding honors with eight boards and Sherece Smith dished out five assists.
Liberty will take to the road for its next two games, beginning with a Thursday evening tilt at Winthrop (11-4, 5-1 Big South), which sits one-half game behind the Lady Flames in the Big South standings. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Winthrop Coliseum, where the Eagles are 6-0 this season.

Prabal Gurung's Coming to Target!
Prabal's dresses make you longer, leaner and sexier.
-PJ Gach
When I heard that Jason Wu was coming to Target, I did a happy dance. When I heard that Prabal Gurung was the next designer doing a limited edition collection for Target, everyone within a 15 mile radius of me heard me scream.
His dresses are so exquisitely crafted that the moment you slip on one, you feel incredible. Michelle Obama, Leighton Meester, Thandie Newton and Demi Moore are just a few well known women who've worn his clothing to red carpet events and TV chat shows.
"I am so thrilled to be working with Target on a collection that brings my designs to a wider audience," stated Prabal Gurung in a press release. "This collection was inspired by love and if Target's guests can feel even a little bit of the love that I felt while I was designing this collection, then I will consider it a job well done."

Grab dresses, tops and bottoms that range in price from $19.99 to $199.99. There are also accessories! YESS! Jewelry, bags and shoes with prices that start at $12.99 and go up to $39.99.
