I live in a history rich area where Uncle Tom's Cabin was and my house actually sits on part of the property that was once Thomas Kennedy. I walk in that cemetery and Thomas Kennedy was the first person to be buried in the Paint Lick, Ky cemetery. If anyone needs any information on this person or a picture of that headstone which is very unusual, they put him with rocks above ground and used to have a wrought iron fence around it but they say that lightening kept hitting and knocking it down and now they just have the half above ground headstone, made out of limestone and it is cracked.

As a powerful and popular video editor, Windows Movie Maker has received high reputations for years. Windows Movie Maker is not only powerful in function but also small in storage. However, with the popularization of Windows Movie Maker, its defects are also becoming notorious. The most irritating defect of Windows Movie Maker lies in its limitation to supported video files.
DVD as an important source for video is becoming more and more popular at present. As the container format media, VOB contains digital video, digital audio, subtitles, DVD menus and navigation contents. For user who wants to edit DVD with Windows Movie Maker, he needs to figure out ways to convert VOB videos for Windows Movie Maker.
Since Widows Movie Maker can only support the import of WMV, AVI or MPG files, user needs to figure out some methods to convert VOB videos to WMV, AVI or MPG files. To this extent, this post will provide you two methods to import VOB video to Windows Movie Maker.
I. Change the suffix of VOB video to .avi or .mpg
Though changing the suffix of a video is not a good idea in most times, it at least works here. By changing the suffix of VOB video to .avi or .mpg, Windows Movie Maker will mistake it as AVI or MPEG video. Follow those steps.
1. Open "My Computer" and click "Fold Options" icon below the menu bar. Click "View" tab and then uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types".
2. After that, the suffix of the VOB video is available. Right click the VOB video and change its suffix to .avi or .mpg. For example, change VTS_04_1.vob to VTS_04_1.mpg.
3. Now a good way to check whether this way works or not is to play it with Widows Media Player. If Windows Media Player can recognize it, Windows Movie Maker will do the same. So play the MPG file with Windows Movie Maker.
4. Open Windows Movie Maker, choose "Import Video" in the drop-down menu of "Capture Video" and then the MPEG video is imported in Windows Movie Maker.
However, although it works, this method is not a perfect one. Sometimes one can import the converted VOB video into Windows Movie Maker, but find he can only hear the audio of the video in the Windows Movie Maker. Therefore he can just edit the audio.
Moreover, different versions of Windows Movie Maker may affect the result of this method. For example with this method a changed VOB video may work in Windows Movie Maker 2.6 while refuse to work in another version of Windows Movie Maker.
II. Convert the VOB video to WMV, AVI or MPG video
A safe way to import VOB video to Windows Movie Maker is to convert VOB video to WMV, AVI or MPEG video with DVD Ripper. Moreover, DVD Ripper for Mac, the Mac version of DVD Ripper, can be used to convert DVD for iMovie.
1. Import VOB video, click "Load DVD" icon and then choose the VOB video and click "OK".
2. Set the output file as AVI, WMV or MPG video for Widows Movie Maker. You can set the output video file in the drop-down menu of "Profile". For user who just wants to convert VOB video for Windows Movie Maker, they can customize the drop-down menu to save more time.
Click "Customise" button in the drop-down menu and uncheck all the option except AVI, WMV and MPG. After that only those three formats are available in the list.
3. Edit the output video. Right click VOB video and choose "Media Edit" option. Then one able to trim or crop the video and add effects to the video.
4. Add 3D effects to the output video. Click"3D Settings" icon, then choose the 3D effects in the drop-down menu and adjust 3D depth with corresponding bar.
After all those steps, user can click convert button to start the process. When the conversion completes, he can import converted VOB video to Windows Movie Maker. Though this method is quite complicated comparing to the first one, it is much safe and reliable. Also one can get an output video with 3D effects.
Those are ways to import VOB video to Windows Movie Maker. Since either of them owns its advantages and disadvantages, user can refer to the one that is most suitable.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Mike Trout and Chris Iannetta homered to help the Los Angeles Angels build a big lead against Roberto Hernandez in his season debut with Cleveland, and Ervin Santana breezed to an 8-4 victory over the Indians on Wednesday night.
Santana (6-10) allowed a run and four hits in seven innings, struck out four and walked one. The only run came on a sixth-inning double by Asdrubal Cabrera. Santana, whose only other victory against the Indians was a no-hitter at Cleveland on July 27, 2001, is 2-8 in 14 career starts against the Tribe.
Jason Isringhausen gave up a three-run homer in the eighth to Shin-Soo Choo, his 14th this season, but Kevin Jepsen closed it out with a perfect ninth.
Hernandez, formally known as Fausto Carmona, was added to the Indians' 25-man roster on Tuesday after fellow right-hander Josh Tomlin was placed on the 15-day disabled list because of inflammation in his elbow.

THE Advertiser can exclusively reveal that a life-size statue of One Direction heart-throb Harry Styles is set to be erected in Redditch town centre.
The news comes just a month after the town came top of a list of the least musical parts of the UK - something many residents, MPs and councillors fiercely objected to.
The study, published in the PLOS ONE journal, was carried out by researchers from Goldsmiths, University of London and BBC Lab UK and claims to have found a correlation between how musical people are and the average income of the area where they live.
Campaigners and musical enthusiasts in the town have been fighting to shake off the tag ever since with many citing Redditch's famous musical sons such as Led Zeppelin legend John Bonham, Dodgy frontman Nigel Clark, and of course Harry Styles.
In the past there have been calls for a John Bonham statue to be placed in Redditch but it is unclear now if that will happen.
Mary Simpson from campaign group Make Redditch Good was awarded funding, believed to be more than £12,000, after writing to think thank the Institute of Musical Studies in London.
Mrs Simpson said: "I never thought this would happen. I wrote to a few places telling them how great the town is and that Harry Styles was born here - how can a town that he's from be musically unsophisticated?
"I never thought in a million years that I would be offered funding and the only thing I could think of was for a statue of the singer. But, after all the bad press Redditch has had recently they must have felt sorry for us.
"It will be a huge boost for the town - think of all the tourists that will have a reason to visit now."
The mature student added: "I'm still in shock this is happening, it's absolutely great that we will have a huge statue of Harry in the town."
Prof Don Brodka from the foundation said: "We have helped people get grants for all sorts of things from bands touring abroad, tech start-ups and art shops and social enterprises expanding.
"It is great for us to know that people will benefit from this cash and help the town prove that it is indeed very musical."
It is hoped the statue will be unveiled later this year as part of a huge music festival featuring a number of well known, as well as local, musical acts.
It is not yet known exactly where the life-size statue will be placed, but it could be outside St Stephen's Church.
For the latest information, keep checking the Advertiser website.

Where the best of two worlds collide: top products from top producers in the industry, now offering the best introductory kit for those curious about CBD and vaping.
Try our OG Kush it's our best selling CBD Eliquid!
If you are a newcomer to the fantastic world of vaping, this is a great kit to get you started! You will receive one bottle of Harmony Cannabis Originals OG Kush and one of the best-selling e-cigarette apparatus, the Joyetech eGO AIO, which will enhance the natural flavor of the OG Kush CBD e-liquid.
OG Kush
The legendary O.G. Kush strain is shrouded in mystery, as its full origins and genetics are unknown and the urban legends live on. As the story goes, it was the love child of the famous Indian Chemdawg mated with Lemon Thai and Old World Paki Kush in the 70's. It is also claimed that one day the creator of it corrected someone who erroneously said it was "Mountain Grown" when it was really "Ocean Grown" or "OG" and the name has stuck since then. The rumours are as juicy as its flavour! This strain has recognizable traces of the terpene linalool, for a lavender flavour, and pinene, for a potent pine, Earthy taste and smell.
The difference between Nicotine, CBD's, and Terpenes
Terpenes are organic compounds found in a variety of plants, and contribute to their flavor, scent and color. They interact synergistically with cannabinoids to create what scientists refer to as an "entourage effect" that enhances the effects of the plant's individual components. Nicotine and CBD are both natural compounds produced by plants. Nicotine is extracted from tobacco and CBD is extracted from Hemp. CBD is a non-addictive, non-toxic and non-lethal compound, that is why CBD is becoming the best choice among vapers.

Bond salesman turned best-selling author and Wall Street chronicler
If that's true, investors are about to find out what it's like to play with an injury when the drugs have worn off.
Despite everyone knowing the United States Federal Reserve was always going to take back what it has given to markets over the past few years, the reaction this week has been startling and highlights the impact of high-frequency trading these days.
The accompanying graph shows how tight the link is between shares and the Fed's balance sheet.
Making matters worse for local investors has been the ongoing concerns about China's growth outlook, meaning commodity prices have been thumped.
On top of that there's been the spike in the seven-day Shanghai Interbank Offered Rate (SHIBOR) this week, which has made short-term credit conditions in the world's second-biggest economy difficult.
That has all put a spanner in the works of those calling for a rebound in resource stocks as the Australian dollar falls.
If commodity prices keep falling faster than the Aussie then the expected rebound in the resources sector won't happen. Even if costs are cut, how can resource stocks rise when commodity prices keep falling with supply also about to increase?
Not all bad news
That's not to say a lower Australian dollar doesn't help the sharemarket.
The local unit is now just over 10 per cent lower than its average trading level for all of 2011.
About one-third of all earnings are sourced from offshore, so a back-of-the-envelope calculation implies a 3.3 percentage point boost to sharemarket earnings growth over the next 12 months.
Companies that get more than their share of earnings might even be on target for upgrades if the Aussie remains at around US92¢ or falls further.
The other key lesson this week is that global interest rates are moving higher and so global borrowing costs are also poised to rise.
The bank expects the US 10-year Treasury yield, currently hovering around 2.4 per cent, to be 3 per cent by the middle of next year then head to 4 per cent over the medium term.
This will have an effect on term rates around the world, as the bond market has been quick to price in higher rates across the yield curve despite the Fed making it clear it is still some way off raising rates.
Look out for rising bond yields
The big issue for investors is what sort of impact higher US rates will have. Low bond yields have been providing an artificial boost to cash flow-based valuation. Sharemarket analysts typically use the 10-year bond yield when calculating today's value of a company's future cash flows.
A lower bond yield delivers a higher value and vice versa.
Bond yields are now starting to rise from record lows.
As Bell Potter's Charlie Aitken told clients on Friday, analysts might protest that nobody uses those low bond yields in their valuations, but the reality is the sharemarket does. The price action confirms it.
That means the sectors that propelled Wall Street and benefited from low interest rates, such as defensives and home builders, will now suffer as US long bond yields and mortgage-backed securities' yields rise. It also means that telecommunications companies, property trusts and utility stocks are in for a tough time.
But the market has been swift to price in not just a tapering of bond purchases but also higher interest rates.
The most optimistic outlook is the US economy will continue to do better than most expect and all the Fed has to do is stop buying assets.
Fears of the Fed selling those assets was put to bed this week when the central bank made it clear it was going to hang onto them until they mature.
But it's worth noting the unemployment rate is still too high (at 7.6 per cent) and inflation too low (closer to 1 per cent than the Fed's implicit target of 2 per cent), for the central bank to think about raising rates over the next year.
Also, there aren't too many out there who are as optimistic about near-term prospects for the US economy as the consensus and the Fed seem to be.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
TheStreet Ratings team rates KORN/FERRY INTERNATIONAL as a "buy" with a ratings score of B+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate KORN/FERRY INTERNATIONAL (KFY) a BUY. This is driven by several positive factors, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, solid stock price performance, reasonable valuation levels and compelling growth in net income. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows low profit margins."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:

Alicia Ranford is mad about the mining industry. But she nearly went mad while living in Cobar in NSW, when her mining engineer husband Joe broke his leg and became temporarily immobilised. Ranford had to look after their two small children without the support of extended family.
The proactive Ranford and her husband resolved the fly in, fly out model would suit their family best, so they relocated to their home city of Adelaide. Joe flew to and from work in Western Australia.
But that brought other challenges faced by many families that have a parent working in the mining and resources sector, especially loneliness for the partner left behind. Ranford sought support and professional advice and having armed herself with practical strategies, she decided it was too good not to share. A long-time psychologist friend, Angie Willcocks, insisted it might be good therapy to turn that knowledge into a business.
Ranford collated every piece of advice, a list of experts, collected publications and books, and recorded her own experiences with a view to developing an online community that would be the "go-to" website for mining families like hers.
She admits writing for a website was not her strength. Enter her enterprising mother who arranged a "blind date" with her neighbour, the Adelaide journalist Lainie Anderson, and over a few wines a business partnership was agreed – a firm friendship formed.
Mining Family Matters was established in 2008, with an investment of $5000 each from Ranford and Anderson. Through their word-of-mouth network, they found a web developer. "It is amazing who knows who, and where your business connections come from," trills Ranford, a lively and animated presence.
They found the Melbourne-based Integrity Online, which used Joomla software to build "just what we envisioned", Ranford says. Following two years of development, they began operating in 2010.
Topics for discussion boards would include: relocating locally or internationally; establishing new social networks and support systems; living in remote areas without support structures; packing up a home, and being absent from important family events.
"We knew it had to appeal to families, wives, partners and workers as well as the corporates because we knew we would need them for sponsorship and advertising," Ranford explains. "It had to earn an income, otherwise it would be unsustainable."
Ranford says that depending on space and placement, annual sponsorships cost from $2000 to $20,000. The business turned over around $190,000 for the financial year ending June 2012.
She says there has been no pressure from sponsors for positive coverage. "We are positive, but honest about the pressure the industry can put on workers and their families."
Ranford unashamedly declares the benefit of Anderson's journalism skills was a "kick-ass" media release at launch. Forty-three press interviews followed in four days, 2500 visitors came to the site in the first month and emails poured in.
They answer every one, but with numbers up to 220 a day and rising, they have imposed a strict timetable to spend Tuesday and Wednesday working at Anderson's kitchen table. "I was working through the night and could see it eating into family time," Ranford says.
She remembers nights planning website content over bottles of wine with Anderson and their respective husbands. "It got quite raucous after a few bottles!"
They manage the website themselves – publish an e-newsletter, upload new content each month, and keep the site updated weekly – all written content, with no videos. "It has to be simple content as we don't want to clog the connections to mine sites whose remote internet connections have limited capacity."
The Mining Family Matters site now attracts more than 12,000 visitors and 250,000 hits per month. They also have a small but steadily growing fan base on Facebook. As well, Ranford and Anderson give presentations and workshops at mining conferences and events, another marketing avenue.
Ranford started drawing a small salary from about July 2011, a milestone for the qualified nurse. "It means I don't have to nurse any more. Also for me to work around my family is amazing."
The website has six writers, each paid per contribution. Ranford claims her business highlight was being able to back-pay all of them for every column after the first big sponsor came through.
Willcocks, the psychologist, is a contributor, there is a careers specialist, and Ranford's sister-in-law promotes websites from all over the world offering shopping and free shipping for anything from teen clothing to homewares. It is all, according to Ranford, free promotion based on good personal experience and MiningFM does not get a cut from sales.
Sponsorship and advertising by the large industry employers account for about 50 per cent of revenue, and their nascent publishing division has become an equally lucrative part of the business.
In March 2011, Mining Family Matters published their first handbook The Survival Guide for Mining Families, which by October this year had sold 65,000 copies to companies across Australia. Prices vary depending on the quantity ordered, from $6 for one copy down to $2.75 for 1000 copies.
It has spawned the Working Away Guide, which took out mining references and, Ranford says, is relevant to any industry where workers spend time away from home. In February 2013, they plan to launch the oil and gas version.
The chapters include: "Are you making excuses about sex"; "Tackling Loneliness When You Are Apart"; "FIFO dads and discipline", and "Mining mums working away".
But there's more. In July this year, they published their first book Mining Families Rock, which according to Ranford is more comprehensive and has been picked up by an international distributor.
That's where her business goals lie: "To build a global market and take the website to the world would be amazing. I love this industry, which has given our family so much."
Meanwhile, a happy irony has emerged for the 37-year-old Ranford, who says the only thing that keeps her awake at night is the flow of ideas for her business. After all those FIFO years, her husband recently took a job close to home, meaning he is there for important discussions with their children, including revealing the truth about Father Christmas and the Tooth Fairy.
"It's a whole new world of adjusting," Ranford says. "I can see a whole new source for content."

I'm 28 and have lived in the area for most of my life. I spent about eight years the Marines and got to spend some time in Iraq, Morocco and Mozambique during those eight years. I've been out since about 2010. Generally, I'm pretty easy going. I'm kinda quiet at first but open up after awhile. I enjoy playing D&D (I'm a dork and embrace my dorkiness) and video games, swimming, shooting things (I am a Marine after all), reading and until recently, playing WoW. I also play Warhammer 40k and Warhammer fantasy. Though lately I've been doing more painting than playing, mostly due to work. Yes, I'm a dork. No, I don't care.
My humor tends to be a little dry, sarcastic and more than a bit dark at times. I tend to toe the line with just about everything until I'm told I've gone too far or I can tell I've crossed a line. Or in a few rare cases, I think I've gone too far. But despite this, I'm not a bad guy. It's just hidden and usually isn't seen at first or on command.
Aside from that, I'm also working, trying to get back into shape and not spending nearly as much time painting my Warhammer stuff as I'd like to. Hopefully that will chance when the quarter is over.
I'm not so good at writing people messages (at least not at first), but I do it anyway. They tend to come off as rambling and possibly ponderous.
a) The Sword of Truth series, Wheel of Time series (so looking forward to the last book), the Redwall series. Yes, I realzie these are series and not just books, but I can't remember the last stand alone book I read
b) Braveheart, Transformers the Movie, the original Star Wars movies and the Family Guy versions, Punisher (not War Zone)
c) These are pretty much the shows my roommate and I watch without fail when they aren't reruns: Big Bang Theory, How I met Your Mother, NCIS, NCIS: LA, The Mentalist, Hawaii Five-O. Shows we've watched via netflix that we thoroughly enjoyed: BSG, Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dexter
d) Local boys Kirby Krackle. They're an awesome nerd rock band. After them, I would have to say my favorite band is Rise Against with Weird Al coming in close behind them. I like bits of everything and aside from the rock, I listen to more than a bit of country too.
e) I've been trying to eat healthier lately, but that's easier said than done. I still definitely love me some steak, lasagna, cookie dough and Mt. Dew. Though I've never tried all three at one meal, might have to do that later...
Gaming of some sort, swimming, my cat Isis, books, and hm... I'm not sure. I'll fill the last two out later.
And I can do without these things, and have on more than a few occasions, I just don't enjoy it at all.
I took 7 or 8 years of speech therapy. I will correct you if you pronounce something wrong. It's nothing against you, just a quirk of mine.
I'm mostly just looking for new friends, I leave anything beyond that up to how things go. Also, I usually don't pay attention to the percentages. Even people with very different views on things can become good friends.

Carlotta Walls LaNier
Youngest of the Little Rock Nine, civil rights advocate, National Women's Hall of Fame inductee
Courtesy of the author
About Carlotta Walls LaNier
In 1957, fourteen-year-old Carlotta Walls was the youngest Little Rock Nine member to integrate Central High School. She and eight other black students faced angry mobs, racist elected officials, and federal intervention by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who was forced to send in the 101st Airborne to escort the Nine safely into the building. Little did she realize that day that this was the beginning of a journey that would challenge prevailing attitudes, break down barriers, and forever change the social landscape of America. Overcoming her initial need to forget her turbulent past, Carlotta Walls LaNier has told her dramatic story for the first time in A Mighty Long Way: My Journey to Justice at Little Rock Central High School.

If four movies and all the novels weren't enough Lisbeth Salander for you, never fear. Coming this November is the graphic novel version of Stieg Larsson's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, thanks to DC's Vertigo imprint.
Handling the writing duties will be Scottish crime author Denise Mina, who has also written Hellblazer and A Sickness In The Family for Vertigo. Lee Bermejo did this glorious cover, seen below in its entirety, which hearkens back to his amazing work for Batman: Noël. The interior art will be crafted by Leonardo Manco and Andrea Mutti, both Vertigo vets themselves.
"We're thrilled to be adapting this incredible story into a series of graphic novels," stated Karen Berger, executive editor of Vertigo. "Denise, Lee, Leonardo and Andrea have such great passion for the material and stylistically they're a perfect match to bring it to comics life. Their beautifully dark and visceral work will certainly blow us all away."

The 10 Questions The "Lost" Finale NEEDS To Answer
For the past six seasons of "Lost," every single episode has brought us at least one new oddity to ponder. And yet, as frequently as questions are posed, it's not that often that a question is actually answered. This is why the love the show, but also what makes it such an ever-evolving mind bender. Now we are down to the final episode. It's a long one—two and a half hours to be exact—but it has all us fans wondering, how the heck are they going to tie up all the loose ends?
Sadly, they won't. Today, producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse announced that because they felt they didn't have enough time to finish all the story lines, the season six DVD will contain 20 extra minutes. But uh, we don't want to wait until August or have to drop $50 to know everything! After the jump, the 10 questions we need answers to on Sunday.
- What the heck is the island? So many different theories have been presented by different characters this season. So is the island a cork on a wine bottle of evil that keeps the darkness from spilling out into the regular world, as suggested by Jacob? Is the island hell and everyone on it is dead, as Isabella told Ricardo? Or is it a hiding place for the world's life source, as Jacob and the Man in Black's mother proposed? Or is it something else entirely?
- What's up with that white light? Jacob has been tasked with guarding the white light for forever, and in this week's episode, Jack volunteered to take over the job—which makes sense, as Jacob tells him that the light is near the bamboo field where he awoke in the show's first seconds. But, uh, what is the light exactly? And whom does it need to be protected from?
- Why are the characters' lives in the "sideways" universe different from what they were before the crash? All season, we've been getting flashes to an alternate reality where flight 815 never crashes and lands safely in Los Angeles. Some of the characters' lives match up with what we've seen in flashbacks to their lives before the crash. But most are way different—for example, Jack has a son, Locke has a loving fiance, and Desmond appears to be a bad guy (maybe?) pulling strings and making puppets dance. Why?
- Speaking of, what is Desmond's function in all this? Last episode, we found out that Desmond is a "fail safe." And we've known for a while now that, somehow, he survived the electromagnetic explosion of the hatch. Is Desmond super-powered? Because of the explosion, or has the island always been his destiny too? How will he play into whatever is coming?
- What about the polar bears? In the series pilot, Sawyer shoots and kills a polar bear. We know that the Dharma Initiative kept them in the cages—but did they bring them? Or were they already there?
- Why can't women have babies on the island? Another question that goes seasons back with no explanation. Why was Claire able to give birth to Aaron and Jacob and the Man in Black's mother able to give birth to them—but all other women on the island are unable to have babies?
- How will Jack try to kill the Man in Black? When Jack took over for Jacob, Jacob said Jack must "do what he couldn't—kill him." So how exactly does one go about killing a lethal cloud of black smoke? Guess we'll have to find out.
- How is Jacob still conversing with the candidates when he is dead? In last year's season finale, the Man in Black convinced Ben to kill Jacob. So, uh, how is Jacob sitting around a camp fire explaining to the candidates how he picked each of them because they had no ties, led miserable existences, and were alone in the world?
- What's up with Jack's neck wound? In the sideways universe, Jack has a wound on his neck that keeps reopening for no apparent reason. This has me a little nervous. I'm worried that in the final showdown between Jack and the Man in Black, Jack might not come out alive. If his throat is slashed, it would explain that detail in the sideways reality.
- Why was the island underwater? Remember back in the season premiere when the island was shown totally submerged underwater? Why? How? When? Is that the end result of whatever battle is coming?
And some more questions we don't need answered, but hey, a girl can dream:
- Will Juliet meet Sawyer in the sideways world? Why did she die saying they should go get coffee? Is she Jack's baby-mama?
- What was the deal with Walt?
- What was up with the numbers?
- Widmore and Eloise Hawking? Could use a lot more explanation on their involvement with the island, please.
- What happens to Aaron and Ji Yeon, Sun and Jin's daughter?
- Who is the woman who raises Jacob and the Man in Black?
- What's up with the four-toed statue?
- Why can't the smoke monster get across those fence things?
- What's up with the sickness? Is that what Claire and Sayid had?
- And, by the way, what's the Man in Black's actual name?

HOUSTON - We have an update about one of the firefighters injured in the Southwest Inn motel fire back in May.
Captain William Dowling is continuing his recovery and has been transferred to TIRR Memorial Hermann Hospital. Both of Capt. Dowling's legs were amputated after the fire.
Dowling is at the same hospital where Gabrielle Giffords spent months recovering after she was shot during a meet and greet with local constituents in Arizona.

What Muscles Does the Leg Curl/Extension Machine Work?
Leg curl and leg extension machines both exercise your legs, but each works muscles on different sides. Using a leg curl machine involves loading the muscles in the back or posterior of the leg. You either sit or lie down for this exercise, depending on the machine you use to bend your knee, or knee flexion. The leg extension machine involves straightening your leg against resistance and working the muscles on the front or anterior of the leg.
When using either the seated or lying leg curl machine, the muscles on the back of the thigh will contract to bend your knee. The hamstrings are made of three muscles -- the biceps femoris, the semimembranosus and the semitendinosus. The largest of the three is the biceps femoris.
The quadriceps muscles perform knee extensions. These muscles consist of the rectus femoris, the vastus lateralis, the vastus medialis and the vastus intermedius. During this exercise, the rectus femoris is the most-worked muscle. At the end of the motion, when your knee is almost straight, the vastus medialis then contracts.
The calf muscles are made of two muscles, the gastrocnemius and the soleus. But the one that is used the most is the gastrocnemius, which is closer to the skin. It helps the hamstrings to bend the knee when using either of the leg curl machines because it crosses the back of the knee.
When using any machine, it is important to keep proper form. Avoid straightening your knee completely when using the leg extension machine because it can create a shearing force on the knee. This can damage the tissue surrounding the knee.

Hola, Scheme-people. I tried installing Dr. Scheme 4.15 today on my WinXP SP II laptop. Install went fine, language selection went fine (tried R5RS and Pretty Big). But: insert cursor into either definitions area or interactions area - press any key - boom. "PLT Scheme GUI application has encountered a problem and needs to close." It's funny, I spent a bit of time with an extremely friendly developer on this list a couple of years back for exactly the same issue (I think), but to no avail. I haven't tested each intervening release, but in rough terms I have to go back to 300 or so to find a version that doesn't bomb out instantly. Any clue how I might go about sorting this out? Grazie!

Neliatania Flamefeather is a level 64 Hunter on the Moon Guard server, originally on the Earthen Ring server. Neliatania is currently inactive.
This article is a player character biography page for Neliatania of Moon Guard US
The contents herein are entirely player made and in no way represent official World of Warcraft history or occurrences which are accurate for all realms. The characters and events listed are of an independent nature and applied for roleplaying, fictional, speculative, or opinions from a limited playerbase only.
Appearance Edit
Large guileless eyes meet yours with a look of naïve curiosity. This elf is shorter than average, and appears quite frail.
History Edit
Neliatania is the daughter of two Farstrider Rangers, who managed to escape the Scourge invasion by hiding out in the mountains in the northern part of Sunstrider Isle. She has an older brother by about fifty years, Arvelen Starsplinter.
Neli has a bad stutter, and was very sickly as a child, much to the derision of her father and other Blood Elves. This sickness does not seem to be related to magic addiction, but rather part of the girl's physiology.
Since leaving home to befriend the orcs in Kalimdor, she has taken the surname Flamefeather, which is her mother's maiden name.

The 'Starships' raptress and the 'Stupid Boy' singer are said to be inches away from signing up to be judges on the FOX reality show.
"American Idol" may soon add Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban to its judge line-up. The Young Money femcee and the "Without You" crooner are reportedly nearing deals to join the veteran singing competition as judges for season 12.
A source close to the show tells The Hollywood Reporter that Minaj and Urban have been in talks with the show's producers for weeks. It is said that the raptress will receive about $8 million from the gig, with additional allowances for wardrobe, hair and makeup.
As for Urban, he apparently has undercut Brad Paisley, who was mentioned as a frontrunner to be a judge from country music department. Words are, Paisley dropped out of the talks because he wanted as much as Minaj gets. Urban, meanwhile, has reportedly agreed with a salary of around $3 to $4 million.
The site adds that the producers are still considering about having a fourth judge, with original judge Randy Jackson possibly securing his position on the show. However, if the producers find another person who fits the position, Jackson could be moved from the judges table.
"American Idol" season 12 will begin airing on FOX in early 2013 with Ryan Seacrest returning as the host. Alanis Morissette and Nick Jonas are some who have confirmed that they're in talks to take the judging duty.

Oh, this is like some dark lullaby. Very nice! Those are some sweet and complex bell and chime melodies. A little more variety would be nice--an additional instrument to fit onto it, and yes, dynamics. Soft strings in the background would make this even better. :)
Good advice, background instruments work well most of the time.
This piece and "In Between" have some dynamics already, I guess I was too conservative, and its hard to notice, time to run more tests on this. Thanks for your feedback.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
It's very nice what you did for three minutes, with just two soundfonts.
Thanks, doing simple things works better for me.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Nice and dreamy. The melody is a little melancholic and has also a slightly classic touch. It´s also nice to have the melody below the arpeggios. You did really a lot of work in the melodic progression. But there is also some stuff which might improve this track a lot. The first thing is that you could give the track much more dynamic by velocity editing. Since you played every note is played with the same velocity the track is lacking a bit of dynamic. The other thing is that the quantisation you used is very rough, which makes this track a little mechanic. You can this feel especially during the end of the track. Anyway nice composition with a few production flaws. Keep up the nice composing!
Thanks for the good feedback man.
Dynamics are something I tend to neglect, I will give more attention to it.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Nicely Done. Seriously.
Glad You like it.

New York City Hires Chief Digital Director
After a six-month search, New York City has hired its first chief digital director.
Rachel Sterne, a 27-year-old graduate of New York University (also the alma mater of Bloomberg's daughter Georgina) will be tasked with making New York City's website "more user-friendly" and tapping into social-media opportunities, according to a statement.
Sterne will make $115,000 the New York Times is reporting. Her first order of business is to produce a report with recommendations on enhancing the city's digital operations and communications within 90 days. Today Sterne asked Quora members to help.
Sterne founded the citizen journalism site GroundReport, and is an adjunct professor of social media and entrepreneurship at the Columbia Business School. Prior to that she interned as a political reporter for the State Department on the United Nations Security Council, and then worked in business development at LimeWire. In 2009 Sterne was named one of America's Most Promising Social Entrepreneurs by BusinessWeek.
On Wednesday AdWeek published a hard-hitting critique of Sterne's lack of policy or managerial experience. One of Sterne's most difficult tasks may be in changing the mindset of her boss: in October, Bloomberg publicly derided Twitter and Facebook as wastes of time.

When you think of Marvel superheroes who don't have their own movie deal yet, you probably gravitate towards characters like Black Panther, Dr. Strange, or Devil Dinosaur. Okay, that last one is just us, but regardless of your personal preferences, we don't imagine that The Human Fly is high at the top of anyone's list. But The Human Fly is getting his own movie anyway, courtesy of Steven Goldmann, the director of Trailer Park of Terror.
Deadline reports that The Human Fly will be produced by Eisenberg-Fisher Productions, which is "based on the Paramount lot" but intends to finance the film independently. The Human Fly was a 19-issue comic book series that Marvel published from 1977-1979, and told the story of a stuntman who doubled as a costumed crimefighter. The series was based on the real-life exploits of Evel Knievel-ish stunt driver named Rick Rojatt, and was marketed as "The wildest superhero ever… because he's real!"
While hardly an A-list property, the concept for The Human Fly is a solid foundation for an action movie. Think F/X but with more stunts. The question of whether Goldmann is the director for the job, and whether the production company will be able to come up with enough funds (not to mention a strong enough script) to put out a quality production remains unanswered, but we can all keep our fingers crossed. At the very least, The Human Fly is the kind of character fanboys won't get up in arms about if you screw with the continuity too much.
CraveOnline will be back with more about this Human Fly movie everyone is buzzing about.

"Simple and adorable! Magnet quality is amazing, design and lettering is flawless. Just ordered the matching invites too!"
"The pictures were very clear and the background color was very vibrant. Also, the magnet was a lot bigger than I had anticipated. I was nervous about buying online, but I will always buy from Wedding Paper Divas now! Also, I sent my first one in for review and they personally called me and changed the background color to mint and added in my wedding website link at no extra charge. This site was very helpful and I LOVED the finished product."
"This save the date in blue is bright and beautiful. The only thing that I noticed is that anything printed over the picture in the bottom left corner can be slightly difficult to read. The blue color is vibrant and the magnets are of good quality"
"Very easy to personalize, true to colors. The quality amazing, and the perfect size for what I needed. Can't wait to get these out to my guests!"
"This design is BEAUTIFUL and exceeded my expectations! The quality and design are outstanding and I love the color choice. HIGHLY RECOMMEND these save the dates for a destination wedding."

Winning big
Prestigious awards flooding in for Wheaton scholars
It's not exactly new, but it's always news worth sharing: Wheaton College scholars are going places.
This spring, 15 Wheaties won prestigious academic awards for graduate study and global experience.
Among them are nine recent Wheaton graduates who have won a Fulbright—one, Allison Cormier-Jonaitis '13, whose grant will enable her to conduct research in Lithuania, and eight others who will be teaching English in other countries through a Fulbright, including: Jennifer Irving '14 (Malaysia); Bailey McWilliams '14 (Venezuela); Alexis Nieves '14 (Brazil); Montana Rogers '14 (Bulgaria); Matt Sexton '14 (Poland); Savannah Tenney '14 (Taiwan); Ashley Wich '13 (Greece); and Nicholas Cicchinelli '14 (Moldova).
Wheaton has been recognized by the U.S. Department of State for its efforts in preparing students to become Fulbright Scholars, ranked for eight consecutive years among the top 10 liberal arts schools in the country for Fulbright success. More than 80 Wheaton students have received Fulbright awards since 2000, many with the help of faculty and the staff at Wheaton's Filene Center for Academic Advising and Career Services.
Wheaton students aren't just winning Fulbrights. Breanna Lynch '14 will be teaching English in the Upper Normandy region of France through a French Government English Teaching Assistantship.
Tianna Lall '14 and Carrie Decker '14 each received a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship, a $28,000 stipend that will enable them to spend the year after graduation traveling around the world. Lall will be learning about provocative theater in Germany, Thailand, Japan, India, Norway and the United Kingdom, while Decker will be exploring nature writing in Dominica, Botswana, Australia and China.
Then there's Sarah Estrela '15, who recently secured a Beinecke Scholarship to help pay for her graduate studies after Wheaton. She's eying a number of programs, including one at Oxford University, where she has been participating in a yearlong undergraduate study abroad program.
But it's not all about class work. Jorge Clemente de Leon Miranda '14 will be spending the summer distributing water filters to villagers in his native Guatemala, thanks to a grant from Projects for Peace. And Jenish Amatya '17 will be getting his hands dirty in Nepal as he helps women in the small village of Baseri start a fish farming business, with seed money from a Resolution Fellowship.

Grateful Dead
Serious traders pretty much want their music in a lossless format, mp3 too compressed.
If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.
William Blake
What's up? I was curious to know why can't some of the music sharing be done via email? I have all of my music in .mp3 format. I know some of the files can be large, but if one manages their email with Microsoft Outlook, you can receive .mp3 files. Yahoo and Gmail email accounts could be file size constrained. I have a bunch of music and want to share it. However, I also don't want to break the law. It's all good.
I'm brand spanking new here... But of course a long time Grateful Dead fan.
I had a tape back in high school (1981) that blew my mind. I unfortunately lost it way back when, and have spent years trying to jog my memory as to what show it was. Well I finally figured it out. It's from 12/1/79.. Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh. How do I go about downloading this most treasured concert? I found a site that streams it and it has been a delight to listen to again after all these years... but I'd really love to take it with me on road trips. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
So I have this thing I do for my friends and family. On their birthday, I make them a CD of the Grateful Dead show that happened on the day of their birth and give it to them. It's kind of a cheap way of getting out of "buying" something, but it's my way of spreading the vibes and trying to share some Dead love. Obviously, I can only do this once, or I'd be giving the same gift to everyone every year. It's worked pretty well, and I've even converted some folks to the family. I've been able to find shows for almost everyone, that is, except myself. I was born on February 7th, 1979, the night of the notorious Carbondale show in Illinois where Jerry "supposedly" had a bad reaction to Valium. Archive.org has this show available for streaming, but that's it. If anyone has a copy of this show, I'd appreciate it. I'll foot the shipping or whatever. I know this isn't the best sounding show, but I'd like to have it anyway.
"Let there be songs to fill the air."
Anybody have this show from F.west? It's got Elvin Bishop sitting in and was supposed to be a great show....I'd love to do a trade for it or any info from anyone who was at the show back in 69'. I'm reeeeeal curious as I've heard alot about it.....must...hear...it!!! -cmb
is on the way to you, VW. Enjoy, the DEAD were a powerful force that summer. Happy remembering.
"Strangers stopping strangers, just to shake their hand.,,,, Everybody's playing in the heart of gold band,,,.... Heart of gold band"...........
And you take care, Tim
I went to that show. was amazing! i bought the cd when it came out but my ex girlfriend stole it from me when i broke up with her. i know someone out there has to have it, i would love to get a copy. i am willing to pay for it as well. if u have the cd u want to sell or maybe burn me a copy or even rip it to flac or mp3 i greatly appreciate it. thanks
email me at email@example.com with info thanks
I do not want to ruin everything, but I had a sister than went to this concert when I was 6 years old and a drunk driver killed her after this show. This was the last time any of my family would see her. I was hoping you or someone else had a copy of Grateful Dead Live at Deer Creek Music Center on 1990-07-18 in good quality or anything from that show would mean a lot to me.
Email me back at firstname.lastname@example.com
I'm looking for the DVD of the Closing of the Winter land on new years 78 I have looked all over but have been unable to locate it.

Any help is aso much apprechated. Thanks
I'm sure you'll find many kind souls to help you out, but I would be remiss if I did not point out that the Vineyard was just made for folks in your situation. All you have to do is sign up and be willing/able to copy the CD/DVD and send it on to the next person in good time. Head on over there!

We were recently sent Creativity for Kids' Stunt Squadron kit to review. This kit features 5 durable foam planes, color-in stickers, foil stickers, and markers, allowing kids to create a fun squadron of planes for indoors or outside.
These planes were a huge hit with my boys! They loved that they could not only put them together themselves but that they could also decorate them any way they wanted to. And of course they love that they now have 5 airplanes that they can fly around daily.
Along with the Stunt Squadron kit, Creativity for Kids also has several other fun craft kits to encourage kids to be creative including jewelry making, garden crafts, a pottery studio, and even sock puppet kits for preschoolers. Creativity for Kids products can be purchased at select craft and educational stores nationwide including Michael's and Education Station.
Be sure to come back between September 17th and 30th for your chance to win a Stunt Squadron kit during Keeping Kids creative!
Disclosure: I was provided with the product(s) mentioned above free of charge by the company or PR representative for review purposes. I was not compensated in any other way for this post. All opinions are my own.

A PLAN to build floodlit tennis courts under the second darkest skies in the Cotswolds has been approved on appeal.
Wychwood Tennis Club was refused planning permission to build the four floodlit courts and a pavilion at The Wychwood Golf Club in Lyneham last year.
But now the Planning Inspectorate has overturned West Oxfordshire District Council's decision and will allow the development to go ahead.
Residents say the floodlights will cause light pollution in a part of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) where the night sky can easily be seen.
Work is expected to start on the project at the end of March and the new £400,000 tennis facility could open in late June.
Lyneham resident Howard Sherwood, 56, said: "We feel very disappointed.
"There will clearly be a patch of bright light which will not only be visible from high points but also in the night sky."
Appeal inspector Sarah Colebourne said the development included enough screening to protect residents from light pollution and the lights would not have a significant impact on the surrounding area.
She added: "The proposed development would not cause significant harm to, and would conserve and enhance, the character and appearance of the AONB and would accord in this respect with both national and local policies."
She also ruled that restricting the lights after 9.30pm between Monday and Saturday and banning them on Sundays, a move suggested by the district council, was "unreasonable".

Tiger 'Watches' Another Sponsor Walk Away
Nobody will ever be concerned about Tiger Woods and his money situation. The dude could send a crate of $100 bills to every member of Congress (and trust me, they could probably use that) and wouldn't even bat an eyelash. But it is worth noting that Tiger has now lost Gillette, Gatorade, Accenture, AT&T and Golf Digest, and you can add that really flashy watch he sports to the group, because Tag Heuer has let the contract with Woods end and they don't plan on renewing it.
This is all according to Ron Sirak, who tweeted that the deal was over, and it ends a long-standing relationship between the two.
Again, money isn't really that big of a problem for Tiger, but seriously, what next, TigerWoods.com drops him? It seems that everyone is trying to distance themselves from Woods except Nike and a few other deals, and until he starts winning, they won't be coming back.
But alas, Tiger is still golfing, and he'll still earn a hefty check this week no matter what. And I guess now he can get that Rolex he's always wanted.
7 comments:
Inspite all the controversies, I still look to Woods as a golf genius. I still look for his endorsed watches in mens jewelry NYC stores. I think we should focus more on his career as a golfer than his personal affairs.

The Victorian government will ask the industrial umpire to end all planned work bans by its 36,000 public service employees as another major dispute looks set for arbitration.
The government's relations with the Community and Public Sector Union have deteriorated since Treasurer
The same day the job cuts were announced, negotiations between the government and the union over a new pay deal were called off and the union signalled it would escalate work bans starting from tomorrow.
As well as threats of 24-hour stoppages at prisons, the bans included case load ceilings for child protection workers.
The union introduced the same bans this year, prompting the government to ask Fair Work Australia to force the suspension of all action by the union, arguing the child protection bans threatened public safety. The government and union agreed to the conciliation talks before a judgment on the issue was delivered.
Community Services Minister
The Australian Financial Review has learnt the government will likely today ask Fair Work Australia to terminate or suspend all CPSU action again, arguing that the child protection bans are a risk to public safety.
If that is successful, sources on both sides of the dispute tip it is likely the matter will be decided through arbitration. The development follows a union push at a national level for greater use of arbitration at the same time as the landmark Qantas is still working through an arbitration.
The government has also warned the CPSU it believes the notices served on it as an employer are defective, meaning workers engaging in the bans would be taking unprotected industrial action.
The government argues the notices do not specify who will be involved or what time action will begin. It has warned the union that if those details are not forthcoming, it might ask Fair Work Australia to stop the allegedly unprotected industrial action.

"They have been two-faced in sitting there for the last few weeks with no intention whatsoever of trying to reach agreement. The job cuts announcement was treachery and we are escalating our action accordingly," she said.
Ms Batt denied the union was being deliberately provocative in including the controversial child protection worker bans in its planned action.
"We have always said we want a safe system of work and the case load controls provide that," she said.
"We would challenge any argument brought forward about how having a safe system of work in place puts kids at risk."
The union has amended its earlier claim so that it is now aligned with the deal the government struck with the police earlier this year. Ms Batt said that worked out to about 17.5 per cent increase over four years.
Last month the government successfully argued at Fair Work Australia that industrial action by the state's nurses posed a threat to public welfare and should be suspended.
The nurses have now threatened a campaign of mass resignations and have flagged an appeal against Fair Work Australia's ruling.
