Writer Reginald Rose (pictured right) originally penned Twelve Angry Men in 1954 as just another episode in the series (a long-lost 16mm kinescope of which has recently been rediscovered). It took a few years, but when star Henry Fonda read Rose's teleplay almost two years later, something clicked. Fonda knew that Marty, another teleplay-turned-movie, had just nabbed the Oscar for Best Picture in 1955 (stealing the award away from another longtime Fonda project Mister Roberts). The critical success of Daniel Mann's film about a lovelorn butcher (Ernest Borgnine) was a clear signal that the movies were learning deeply from TV--to wit: small stories about small people could gain much strength on the big movie screen. And Fonda felt that Twelve Angry Men could be another step in proving this thesis.
So Fonda--as producer--wisely recruited Studio One's Sidney Lumet, a longtime television and stage presence, and trustingly gave him his first big-screen assignment. I now wonder if Henry Fonda felt like he'd just signed Babe Ruth away from his farm team, because the movie Lumet delivered has a solid place in the pantheon of cinema's most astonishing directorial debuts. Obviously a classic, Twelve Angry Men, though, is more than that; it's a film that's utterly entered into our consciousness. I would venture that every American who's ever been on a jury (if they've seen Lumet's film) understandably wonders if they're gonna end up as a hero and/or pariah like Henry Fonda is in the picture.
In it, the stalwart Fonda stars as Juror #8, the only one out of twelve who stubbornly believes in the possible innocence of the accused murderer on which this jury is struggling to pass judgment. Juror #8 (Rose cleverly has all the jurors remain anonymous during deliberation) and his steadfast leanings towards an innocent verdict unleashes a tremor of rotting emotions and hidden motivations amongst the other eleven guys cooped up in that sweltering summer jury room. The harried jurors, in numbered order, are:
Juror #1--level-headed Foreman Martin Balsam
Juror #2--mousy but tenacious John Fiedler
Juror #3--I'm-gonna-punch-yer-lights-out dad Lee J. Cobb
Juror #4--snooty rich guy E.G. Marshall
Juror #5--working guy Jack Klugman
Juror #6--working guy Edward Binns
Juror #7--sports fan Jack Warden
Juror #8--the dutiful Henry Fonda
Juror #9--old man Joseph Sweeney
Juror #10--total bigot Ed Begley
Juror #11--immigrant working guy George Voskovek
Juror #12--hip daddy-o adman Robert Webber
In 1981, when I first saw Twelve Angry Men on WOR-TV out of New York, I was 14 years old. As I first watched these guys heatedly deliberate over the fate of this possible innocent, my heart pounded wildly--it was as if it were my own life hanging in the balance. I'll never forget this feeling. I think this is exactly the way in which all viewers should see Twelve Angry Men. No movie ever has attempted to do what this movie does: here we are, in a democratic society, and we ourselves are entrusted with the guilt or innocence of a person in the dock. Therefore, WE have to live with the freedom or death of the person in question. Nothing in American cinema so effectively informs us of our civic responsibility as vividly as does Lumet's film. Instantly, even in 1957, this movie perfectly delineates the job each American must face--whether it be a shoplifting or a murder charge--once they are called upon to serve on a jury.
As a movie that takes place in one confined space--much like Louis Malle's My Dinner With Andre, Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat, Radha Bharadwaj's Closetland, or Giuseppe Tornatore's brilliant A Pure Formality (with Roman Polanski and Gerard Depardieu as leads)--Twelve Angry Men always impresses us with its cinematic prowness. In particular, I'm reminded of the key scene where only raised hands are pictured casting votes, with a non-raised hand bespeaking a surprise turning of the tide for the tide for the meek young Latino man at bay. Limited in space in which to move around, Lumet's camerawork is nevertheless always fascinating; the man uses close-ups, choreography, light, long takes, shock cuts, and almost every other trick available to keep the film from being awkward, stiff or stagy. It's a real directorial achievement.
Every actor in Twelve Angry Men gets his own moment: snobby E.G. Marshall has to adjust his glasses when backed into an unknowing corner; John Fiedler gets to stand up for himself when he realizes that everyone sees him as a creampuff; Lee J. Cobb had a heartbreaking, photo-tearing moment where he realizes that his prejudices stem from the contentious relationship he has with his own son; Jack Warden finally realizes he's been a damn fool for caring about a missed sporting event more than a man's life; Martin Balsam is the one who recognizes Fonda's exacting notions of the truth; Joseph Sweeney gets to realize that Fonda is right about a witnesses' possibly faulty eyesight; and, most notably, Ed Begley (Juror #10) finally sees that he's long been in the wrong blasting forth his hatred for minorities; he ultimately finds himself talking to the backs of everyone in the room in one of the cinema's greatest monologues:
JUROR 10: I don't understand you people! I mean all these picky little points you keep bringing up. They don't mean nothing. You saw this kid just like I did. You're not gonna tell me you believe that phony story about losing the knife, and that business about being at the movies. Look, you know how these people lie! It's born in them! I mean what the heck? I don't have to tell you. They don't know what the truth is! And lemme tell you, they don't need any real big reason to kill someone, either! No sir! [#5 gets up from his seat] They get drunk... oh, they're real big drinkers, all of 'em - you know that - and bang: someone's lyin' in the gutter. Oh, nobody's blaming them for it. That's the way they are! By nature! You know what I mean? VIOLENT! [#9 rises and crosses to the window] Where're you going? Human life don't mean as much to them as it does to us! [#11 gets up and walks to the other window]. Look, they're lushing it up and fighting all the time and if somebody gets killed, so somebody gets killed! They don't care! Oh, sure, there are some good things about 'em, too. Look, I'm the first one to say that. [#8 gets up and walks to the nearest wall] I've known a couple who were OK, but that's the exception, y'know what I mean?
[#2 and #6 get up from the table. Everyone's back is to #10] Most of 'em, it's like they have no feelings! They can do anything! What's goin' on here? I'm trying to tell you... you're makin' a big mistake, you people! This kid is a liar! I know it. I know all about them! Listen to me! They're no good! There's not a one of 'em who is any good! I mean, what's happening in here? I'm speaking my piece, and you... [the Foreman gets up and walks away. So does #12] Listen to me. We're... This kid on trial here... his type, well, don't you know about them? There's a--there's a danger here. These people are dangerous. They're wild. Listen to me. Listen... [and then, finally, after all this, #10 realizes who he really is, and sits down dejectedly].
In all of American cinema, there has been NOT ONE film that so clearly illustrates what it truly means to be an American as does Twelve Angry Men. Our jury system, for better or worse, is what makes Americans the fair-minded people they ultimately are. Lumet's film is a perfect illustration of such. In every way, it is an unassailable United States document.
PS: in the original version, played on TV in 1954, we had:
Norman Fell -- The Foreman
John Beal -- Juror #2
Franchot Tone -- Juror #3 (the Lee J. Cobb role)
Walter Abel -- Juror #4
Lee Philips -- Juror #5
Bart Burns -- Juror #6
Paul Hartman -- Juror #7
Robert Cummings -- Juror #8 (the Henry Fonda role)
Joseph Sweeney -- Juror #9 (he repeated his role in the movie)
Edward Arnold -- Juror #10
George Voskovec -- Juror #11 (he, too, repeated his role in the movie)
Larkin Ford (as Will West III) -- Juror #12
In William Friedkin's incredibly well-cast 1997 TV remake, we had:
Courtney B. Vance – the Foreman
Ossie Davis – Juror #2
George C. Scott – Juror #3 (the Lee J. Cobb role)
Armin Mueller-Stahl – Juror #4
Dorian Harewood – Juror #5
James Gandolfini – Juror #6
Tony Danza – Juror #7
Jack Lemmon – Juror #8 (the Henry Fonda role)
Hume Cronyn – Juror #9
Mykelti Williamson – Juror #10
Edward James Olmos – Juror #11
William Petersen – Juror #12
And, from here, Reginald Rose's Twelve Angry Men lives forever on stage and screen. Surely few American scripts deserve immortality more.

Since I got my Kindle, I've switched to ebooks. I too have some paperbacks left over, they'll probably end up donated to the library unread. If a book is not an ebook form, I don't buy it.
Just like with paperbacks, I do have price limits. Before I waited for the paperback edition/price, now I wait for the ebook version with paperback prices. I'll pay a premium for a favorite author only out in hardback, but nothing over $9.99.
I don't understand some publishers. I like the Stephanie Plum series. And if they had released a $9.99 version at the same time as the hardcover, I would have bought it. They've finally released an ebook version for $15. Why should I pay $15 when I can get a used copy for $2.44?
So in some ways, ebooks have changed my reading habits in that I'm giving up old favorites and finding new ones. I think someday we may see more authors self-publishing and cutting out publishers altogether.

Faulty Cooling Fan to Blame for Latest Fisker Karma Fire, Recall Initiated

(Source: Fisker Automotive)
Fisker Automotive pinpoints the cause of the blaze with the help of an expert
Last week we reported that a second Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid/electric vehicle
went up in flames outside a grocery store in California
. At the time, an exact cause for the flare-up was not immediately available, but Fisker Automotive was adamant that the fire
was not caused by the lithium-ion batteries
, the powerful electric motors, or the front-mounted turbocharged gasoline engine that serves as a generator.
Today, Fisker Automotive announced the final results of an investigation into the incident that was conducted in conjunction with Pacific Rim Investigative Services Group. It was determine that cooling fan located ahead of the left front wheel had an internal fault that caused the blaze.
As a result, Fisker Automotive is initiating a voluntary recall on all Karma sedans sold to date to replace the fan and install an additional fuse.
"We are committed to responding swiftly and decisively to events such as this to ensure total customer satisfaction," said Fisker Automotive Executive Chairman and Co-Founder, Henrik Fisker. "This incident resulted from a single, faulty component, not our unique EVer powertrain or the engineering of the Karma. As this situation demonstrates, Fisker Automotive is dedicated to doing whatever is necessary to address safety and quality concerns."
Interestingly, Fisker Automotive also included a quote from the owner of the self-igniting Karma. "I have been incredibly impressed with the way Fisker has handled this incident," said Rudy Burger. "Fisker is a great company and one that I am personally planning to invest in. I look forward to getting behind the wheel of my next Fisker."
Hopefully Mr. Burger will have better luck the second time around.

Up to episode 12 and frustrated doesn't even begin to explain how I feel about this drama. Everything is so drawn out and I'm starting to wonder why I even bother each week. At this point I don't want the main characters to get together. I hope they end up with different people and are miserable for the rest of their lives and all that time traveling turns out to be a waste of effort. The only reason I'm going to finish it is because there are only 16 episodes. Its a cute drama if you like predictable story lines and repetitiveness but don't watch it expecting any depth.
Another HILARIOUS performance by Kim Sun Ah! She plays a Sam Soon-like character just as well as the first time. You won't regret this hilarious love story that will leave you gasping for air and wanting a piece of the gorgeously handsome Cha Seung Won. 10 out of 5 stars!!!

I have been watching a man die slowly, over a period of 14 years. His name is Phil, and he's homeless. I think he's had places to live and employment off and on over the years, but he always winds up at the exit of the same Albertsons with his bike, a bike trailer, and his sign.
He first caught everyone's attention about when he was much younger. It was about the time that homeless folks really became noticeable in Boise. Whereas others help up signs that said, "Will work for food," or "Need gas to get to new job," his sign said, "Why lie? I need a beer." I don't recall if I contributed to his beer fund, but I might've bought him lunch once or twice.
I found it humorous at the time and refreshingly honest. Chalk that up to my own naiveté. He kept using the sign and kept panhandling. he's disappear for a while, or I simply wouldn't have any reason to be on this side of town, but eventually he'd pop up again.
Well, now I live on this side of town. I see him walking to and from the various places he panhandles, or from the homes of his remaining family. (Yep, his brothers and sisters live in the area.) I've gotten to know him a lot better since the days when he used to hold the beer sign. Now, the sign on his trailer says, "Homeless. Need help. God bless."
Phil has cancer, and he looks more gaunt everytime I see him. His grandfather and father both died of lung cancer, and that's apparently what's going to do him in as well. Well, that and years of drug and alcohol abuse. He has a cold right now, and he mistook me for someone who gave hime some Advil. Or he just mentioned the Advil because he doesn't really engage with folks according to the norms of social discourse. As Paul Grice would say, he violated the cooperative principle of conversational implicature. Maybe he has a cold, or maybe it's the cancer.
He still smokes.
I remember when my mother-in-law was diagnosed with oat-cell carcinoma of the lungs. After she finished a round of chemotherapy and learned that the spread of cancer showed few signs of abating, she decided to accept the inevitable, swear off further chemo, and get ready to die. She started to smoke again, figuring that it was pointless to give it up if it had already done the deed and couldn't be undone. (A poem about that experience from the imagined perspective of my ex-wife is here.)
I think Phil is at that phase. He doesn't much think about being miserable or not being miserable. He's so used to it that he doesn't complain. I spoke to another guy, Mike, who was standing on the very same spot last Sunday. He was perfectly willing to say that things could be better. He wanted to be inside watching the Super Bowl. He was still alive. I think Phil resigned himself to death a long time ago.
Please pray for Phil and for his conversion.

I agree. It doesn't matter if you can tell the difference in resolution because that's not the point at all. When you're promised something prior to a purchase you damn well better get what you pay for. How can you disagree with that? Indifference to broken games that promise nothing but a future patch fix gets us absolutely nowhere. Reply +1

Halo: Master Chief Collection dev issues "heartfelt apologies" as matchmaking issues continue
@George-Roper Amen. I'm genuinely puzzled that I can't think of a single review that mentions anything about these things just as there's no mention of day one DLC, Season Passes and so on in reviews. I would hate to guess why information regarding functionality and sales ethics are being left out. It's certainly information that I've been keeping a close eye on for quite some time. Reply +13
Sorry, but you're coming off a bit naive just assuming this will be fixed. That's not a guarantee at all, quite the opposite I'm afraid. The games industry of late is full of horror stories in this regard - MS, Sony, EA ... it doesn't matter. I think Nintendo is the only company I feel reasonably comfortable buying anything from these days when it comes to day one purchases. Without suggesting that all these problems are online related (though it's not far off) it is a bit scary to think about what would have happened if Xbox One had in fact required always online. It would have crushed the Xbox franchise. Reply +8

Sony postpones Driveclub PS Plus Edition "until further notice"
You're human, you make mistakes. I've got no problem with that. But if you make a mistake that hurt someone you make it up to them - not least if we are talking about people that you plan on making money off of in the future. The all important question is how they will compensate everybody who bought the game and everybody who has a subscription to PS+. That question is not answered in this statement even though it's long over due in my opinion. Another thing all together is to what degree this was in fact a mistake. I seriously doubt that a game this crippled worked perfectly fine when they tested it prior to release. That just doesn't seem possible.
I own the turd by the way. The racing bit is fine if nothing spectacular - unfortunately the whole multiplayer/club thing is broken and not only because of terrible programming. Nearly every single race takes place in rather narrow roads and since nobody online know how to drive you don't actually race as much as you fight with cars. That effectively kills the fundamental idea behind this game (and all hope of interesting gameplay) since you can't choose to race as ghosts. That leaves single player mode. That part is okay.

Could Plan to Raid Savings Come to U.S.?…(Oh Yeah!!)
What happened in Cyprus will happen in Europe and America if Goldman Sachs plan goes global
By Ronald L. Ray
June 15, 2013
Bankster greed has no limits. Not content with controlling most of the world's wealth, the top banking firms have designs for seizing the savings of citizens throughout the European Union (EU). Incredible as this seems, the previously secret plan was developed as early as November 2011 by Boston Consulting Group's (BCG) senior partner, Levin Holle. BCG is a subsidiary of the Rothschild-controlled Goldman Sachs financial empire.
Brazenly entitled "Back to Mesopotamia," the scheme seeks to wrest the last remnants of money and property from the "99%" and transfer them to a handful of plutocrats. Germany's finance minister, Wolfgang Schäuble, installed Holle as that country's "department director for financial market policy" in December 2011. At that time, it had not been decided whether to accomplish the massive wealth transfer through confiscatory taxes or bank bailouts by depositors, according to a report by National Journal, a German-language website based in England.
However, the EU meeting of finance ministers in mid-April 2013 in Dublin, Ireland, formally set the course of their piracy. The seizure of assets in the tiny country of Cyprus was so successful that, "Savers should in future pay to save the banks. The EU finance ministers want to use the Cyprus solution as an example."

text: OHK weapons. There's not much you can really do against them. You accidentally run into an SMG/AR user in close quarters, you have a chance to out gun them. You're screwed against a shotgun. Snipers are the same, except they can quickscope you OR take you down from range (while headglitching). And don't get me started on rockets-- yeah, it may only have one or two shots, but have fun losing your scorestreak because some dude who can't aim launches one in your direction at point blank range, killing you both. With the map design, the only way to real avoid running into people is camping, which everyone frown upon. I know people say that if you miss with these weapons, then you're screwed, but seriously, with aim assist, missing is nearly impossible. You can actually miss the opponent completely and still get a kill out of most of these guns. To me, OHK weapons are the anti-thesis of fun. Others probably disagree, I'm sure, but nothing frustrates me more than getting the drop on the opponent, shooting first and losing because his weapon just happens to kill in one hit. It wouldn't be so damn bad if the tie system didn't give them priority. You can actually get enough damage in to kill the opponent and still lose the fight because of this. I've got 3 hitmarkers in close several times and died to a shotgun blast right after.

Wall St. As Shopping Mecca?
"Could a lease by one of the world's high-fashion retailers provide the long-awaited key to unlocking Wall Street's perennial retail freeze, and beyond that, to thawing out the district's commercial cold spell?
Years before the attacks of 9/11 destroyed the popular retail concourse at the World Trade Center, boosters of downtown Manhattan had pushed hard, but with little success, to bring better, bigger and more exciting stores to the Financial District. The scarcity of restaurants and high-quality shopping outlets hurt both office and residential growth. As financial services firms migrated to Midtown Manhattan and to the World Financial Center, with its self-contained restaurants and shopping, the 9-to-5 quality of street life has been exacerbated by the absence of residents in the historic Wall Street core. The non-shopping environment has been a major obstacle to transforming the area into a 24/7 urban CBD."

Are you refering to PEP 302? As far as I understand, importing from zips is implemented with "new style" hooks which are incompatible with ihooks. See this passage at the end: "Existing __import__ hooks will not invoke new-style hooks by magic, unless they call the original __import__ function as a fallback. For example, ihooks.py, iu.py and imputil.py are in this sense not forward compatible with this PEP." Maybe this is the reason why it does not work? Instead of ihooks, should one use the new style hooks of PEP 302? I must admit I don't see through this whole importing mess. -- Christoph

Gangtok, Sept. 9: Four boys, apparently carrying garbage in a car to dump at a place near their hostel, died yesterday when the vehicle that was being driven by one of them rolled 1,500ft off a hilly road in West Sikkim.
Five boys, all below 18, were in the Maruti Alto yesterday morning and only one survived and has been taken to Siliguri for treatment.
He has suffered injuries on his head which police said were serious.
The four boys who died were identified by the police as 16-year-old Aditya Rai, who was driving his uncles car, Biswadeep Rai, also 16, Sumit Rai, 14, and Kapil Sunam, 17. They were students of Daramdin Government Secondary School in West Sikkim.
The fifth boy was Pritish Pradhan, 14, and a Class VIII student of United Academy, a private school at Daramdin.The boys who died were in Classes IX and X.
Driving a car below the age of 18 years is illegal and the owner of the car, in this case Adityas uncle Diwash Rai, could face punishment for this. He has been arrested and charged under bailable sections.
Although they studied in the government school, the four stayed as boarders at the hostel of United Academy, the police said. Diwash Rai, the owner of the car, is the principal of United Academy.
Kapil, Aditya and Biswadeep died on the spot while Sumit and Pritish were pulled out alive by the police and youths of Sombaria and Daramdin. Sumit died on the way to Siliguri and was brought back to Jorethang Primary health centre. Yesterday evening, the families of the four boys lodged an FIR against Diwash Rai who was questioned by the police.
An FIR has been lodged and he has been charged with endangering human life and causing death due to negligence. As the charge is bailable, Rai was given bail. However, the investigation will be carried out, said a senior police officer at Daramdin police station. The maximum punishment for the charge is imprisonment up to two years or a fine or both.
The United Academy principal during the interrogation said the five boys had loaded garbage in his car for dumping at a nearby garbage site. They drove off with the car without informing him, he told the police.
The valid age for procuring a driving license is 18 years. No one can drive a vehicle before attaining 18 years. If someone is found doing so, legal action is taken against the car owner, said state motor vehicles secretary T.T. Sherpa.
He said that a motor vehicles inspector shall visit the spot and prepare a report on the incident.

Ryan Seacrest, Andy Cohen and Mark Consuelos are reportedly the contenders to co-host the 'Live' show with Kelly Ripa.
Due to Regis Philbin's impending exit from "Live with Regis and Kelly", Disney-ABC Domestic Television is currently looking for his replacement. According to Wall Street Journal, the company has narrowed down the list to three names, which are Ryan Seacrest, Andy Cohen and Mark Consuelos.
Seacrest has hosted American Idol" since the first season, but his contract with the FOX reality show would expire for the first time in years soon. His name emerged as a potential successor soon after Philbin announced his resignation, because 36-year-old is a fan of the senior host.
Cohen is a Bravo executive and hosts the network's late-night talk show. As for Consuelos, he frequently substitutes for Philbin on "Live with Regis and Kelly". The 40-year-old actor also happens to be married to co-host Kelly Ripa.
A spokesperson for Disney-ABC refuses to comment on the matter, saying "it's ridiculous at this point to be speculating about who will replace him" because Philbin is not expected to leave the show until November. Words are, the morning talk show will be rebooted once Disney-ABC executives find a new anchor.
Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa were recently hailed at 2011 Daytime Emmy Awards, bagging best talk show host kudo which they shared with Dr. Mehmet Oz of "The Dr. Oz Show".

Motorola reveals what is in store for Motorola DROID RAZR and DROID RAZR MAXX owners with update
Another bug will be fixed with the update and ironically, it too deals with a roaming issue. This bug caused a data roaming warning to appear while connected to an extended network. This means that you are in an area (like Alaska) where Big Red's towers are not reaching you, but the carrier has an arrangement with other operators to provide you service at no extra cost.
The update is coming to both phones OTA and Motorola suggests that you have your phone hooked up to a Wi-Fi connection when downloading it. After all, you need to preserve your precious data allowance. Additionally, your battery should be charged to at least 50%.

I used to like my old Razr. I never had problems with it. I wish you could replace the battery.
2. derailed001 (Posts: 1; Member since: 19 Aug 2014)
I know your comment was made a few months back, but I just wanted to let you know that you CAN change the battery on your RAZR. The process is very simple and only takes a few minutes. You will need a T5 Torx Screwdriver and possibly a plastic "safe open pry tool", guitar pick, or fingernails. The opening tools aren't really necessary (I don't use them) as long as you can get the back off without breaking anything. From there, you will most likely see a red/pink-ish rubber piece sitting on top of the battery screws, which is easily removable by hand. After that, unscrew the 2 battery screws with the T5 torx screwdriver then gently lift the battery from the frame. It is soft, so be careful not to bend it. The pry tools can also be used to remove the battery, but once again, it is SOFT, so be gentle. Now you are ready to put the new battery in, fasten it down with the 2 screws you removed earlier. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THEM!! If you have a torque driver, look up the specs for them or just try to tighten them as much, or a little less, than they originally were. Over-tightening the screws can cause the battery terminals to break. Next. place the rubber piece back on top of the terminals. Finally, snap the back cover onto the phone. Check the instructions provided with the battery to see if the battery should be charged before first use or if it is safe to use right away. THAT'S IT! You have now single-handedly replaced your own battery!
As always, it is a good idea to read any instructions that may come with the replacement battery, as well as watch a YouTube video of the process, BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE YOUR BATTERY.
I am sorry if this post is redundant or over-detailed, but I am unsure of your familiarity with the inner-workings of mobile devices, so I wanted to be as detailed as possible.
I am not allowed to post links yet since I just joined, but do a quick search on eBay and Amazon and you will be able to find a "kit" with the battery, T5 torx driver, and possibly some of the plastic opening tools in it. I would recommend getting a genuine Motorola EB20 battery since the prices are not different enough to justify purchasing a generic battery. I found a *NEW* one on eBay for $14.95 (free shipping) that includes the T5 torx driver that you would need. I hope this helps.

Last week I received a pair of beautiful fingerless mitts from Faery Dust Designs!!
Packaging was GREAT and it came with a beautiful hand written note. I LOVE it when there's a personalized note inside a package.
I've never owned a pair of fingerless mitts, but I must say that now I know why so many people love them. They keep your hands warm but yet leave your fingers free to move around.
The mitts are quite flexible too, they fit my hands perfectly and yet stretch enough for even my hubby's hands. They are really well made. You can tell that Faery Dust Designs cares for details.
Did I mention how SOFT they are? BONUS they are machine washable and dryable!!
I love the bright colors!!! Are you not so much for bright colors??… I'm certain Faery Dust Designs can create fingerless mitts in the colors of your choice. :)
I totally recommend Faery Dust Designs!! If you go check out her Etsy shop, you'll see that she doesn't just make fingerless mitts… but also beautiful crocheted handbags, crocheted drawstring bags, ….
I can't wait to see what Faery Dust Designs is going to create next!!
Have a great day!!

The extremely strong earthquake in Chile on 27 February this year was a complicated rupture process, as scientists from the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences found out. Quakes with such magnitude virtually penetrate the entire Earth's crust. After closer analysis of the seismic waves radiated by this earthquake during the first 134 seconds after start of the rupture, the researchers came to the conclusion that only the region around the actual epicentre was active during the first minutes. In the second minute the active zone moved north towards Santiago. After that the region south of Concepción became active for a short time. This rupturing trend agrees well with the distribution of the aftershocks during the following three days, as observed by the GEOFON-measuring network of the GFZ up to 03.03.2010.
In the year 1960, the strongest earthquake measured at all to date, with a magnitude of M=9.5, had its origin at Valdivia, south of the region affected now. "The quake of 27 February connects directly to the rupture process of Valdivia", explains Professor Jochen Zschau, Director of the Section "Earthquake Risk and Early Warning" at the GFZ. "With this, one of the last two seismic gaps along the west coast of South America might now be closed. With the exception of one last section, found in North Chile, the entire earth crust before the west coast of South America has been ruptured within the last 150 years."
The underlying plate tectonic procedure is such that the Nazca-Plate as part of the Pacific Ocean Floor moves eastwards with approximately seventy millimetres per year, collides with South America and thereby pushes under the continent. The hereby developing earthquakes belong to the strongest world-wide. In the course of about one century, the Earth's ruptures completely in a number of strong quakes from Patagonia in the South to Panama in the North. Even Darwin reported, in his diary, of the strong earthquake in Concepción on 20 February 1835 and the resulting Tsunami.
In order to examine the aftershock activity in the now fractured seismic gap, scientists from the GFZ are travelling to Chile on March 13, 2010 where, together with the Chilean Seismological Service, they will set-up a seismological-geodetic network in the area of Concepción-Santiago. Partners from Germany (IFM Geomar, Kiel; Free University of Berlin) and from abroad (Institut de Physique du Globe, Paris; University of Liverpool; United States Geological Survey; IRIS) are also taking part in this measuring campaign. The mission will last about three months. The results, one expects, will be able to provide an insight into the mechanisms of the fracture in the Earth's crust. This activity is financed on the German side by the GFZ.
Scientists from the GFZ have been examining the collision of the Nazca plate and the South American continent since 1994. As a result of numerous expeditions and measuring campaigns in this area this Potsdam Helmholtz Centre avails of the probably the most dense data record on such a subduction zone. "Within the framework of the DFG Priority Programme "Deformation processes in the Andes", and with the Geotechnology Project TIPTEQ we have just been able to collect a unique data record for the southern part of the Andes" says Professor Onno Oncken, Director of the Department Geodynamics and Geomaterials at the GFZ, and leader of these studies. The current quake puts us in the position to precisely compare the tectonics before and afterwards, a unique situation both internationally and in Earth science.
Currently, the GFZ operates a so-called Plate Boundary Observatory PBO in the north of Chile, exactly in the last remaining seismic gap in Chile. This observatory will be handed over to Chilean colleagues by the Chairman of the Board of the GFZ, Professor Reinhard Huettl, within the framework of the cooperation with the Earthquake Service of Chile during a festive event on 15 March.

For postsecondary graduates receiving degrees and diplomas in the weeks ahead, excitement about completing their programs may be tempered by the grim job landscape for young people.
The latest labour force survey from Statistics Canada revealed a decline of 19,000 jobs for youth aged 15-to-24 in April. The youth unemployment rate was at 14.5 per cent last month – about double the national average.
"Be very realistic and realize there is a general climate where there are less jobs, but that doesn't mean you won't be able to secure a job that's right for you," said Shirin Khamisa, a Toronto-based career counsellor and founder of Careers by Design.
Here are five ways for job-seeking grads to distinguish themselves in a competitive market:
1. Build a network
Do you have any professional contacts in your area of study or field of expertise? If not, start making connections. Attending industry events, joining a professional umbrella organization or engaging with people working in the field to ask about key needs in their area can help build your network, Ms. Khamisa said. "That's the really powerful thing in a job search when it's a tighter market – to get that face time with people who are in the field you'd like to work in."
2. Explore, then reach out
While many people will be keen to "jump right into job-search mode," Ms. Khamisa said that's not the best way to start a relationship with a potential contact.
The job search should be a time of exploration. It's often easier when individuals are initially seeking information and learning about a particular industry and the needs of an organization before hunting for a specific position, she noted.
"Reaching out and connecting takes courage ... and I guarantee you there will be times where people don't get back to you or are just too busy or aren't receptive," she said. "But the magic happens when you persevere and you keep going. And eventually, you will connect with a group of people who will help you and support you as you move forward."
When you reach the stage where you're submitting applications, a follow-up call is another way to show initiative, said Danielle Bragge, a partner with The Headhunters, a nation-wide recruitment firm.
It can be as simple as introducing yourself, mentioning your interest in the job you've applied for, and highlighting three quick reasons you'd make a great addition to the team, Ms. Bragge said. "When we do get those calls, I tell you, it takes the résumé from the bottom of the pile to the top of the pile," she said. While most résumés are directed to human resources, it's worthwhile to make the call, she added. "It may not go anywhere, but it's the difference between great and ordinary."
3. Give your CV a hook
Planning to blanket multiple companies with identical versions of your CV and cover letter? Don't do it.
The most common mistake made by job applicants is failing to tailor the document to each position and employer, Ms. Bragge said from Edmonton. "They really need to look closely at what are some of the key factors that employers are asking for," she said.
If a company says it is looking for someone to work in a fast-paced environment, use that as a chance to emphasize your experiences in that capacity, be it within a volunteer program or a past project, Ms. Bragge said.
Your résumé also needs to have a hook that distinguishes you from other applicants, she added. Even experiences not directly related to the job in question are worthy to consider including, such as being in a Toastmasters Club or playing sports, she said. "Anything that shows they have the motivation and the initiative needs to be included in their résumé."
4. Practice digital diligence
Many organizations use social networking sites such as LinkedIn for recruitment purposes, and Ms. Khamisa said establishing an online profile can offer added benefits. Beyond fostering connections, job seekers can be exposed to professional groups who convene online, she noted.
And clean up your online presence, such as your Facebook page, because employers could be watching, Ms. Bragge said.
5. Cultivate skills
Simply having the right diploma isn't sufficient any more; students have to develop their employability, said Bruno Castilloux, manager of career services at the University of Ottawa. "Transferrable skills are the new currency in the labour market," he said. An engineer, for example, could highlight his or her writing skills, such as reports, in addition to expertise and training in the field.
While new grads understandably want work in their chosen field, Mr. Castilloux noted that taking a job in an unrelated area is another good way to obtain experience and develop skills.

Seraphina and Samuel Affleck went biking with their grandmother Patricia in Cleveland, Ohio on Thursday (May 23). The kids are in town because Jennifer Garner is filming her new movie Draft Day there.
Seraphina, 4, pedaled away on her training wheels while her 1-year-old brother was in a bike seat.
Last weekend Jennifer jumped into husband Ben Affleck's opening monologue on Saturday Night Live. While the Argo director was explaining his Oscar speech comments on their marriage as being work – the mom-of-three went on stage to "disaprove the naysayers."
Ben said, "We've worked together on our marriage. And then some uncharitable souls on the Internet took that to meant our marriage was some kind of manual labor. No, that's not it. You define what's important to you by what you dedicate your time to. And my wife knew exactly what I meant."
Jennifer added, "It's a way we talk privately about how committed we are to our marriage. Not sure why you had to share that live to a billion people, but …I would have said thank you to my wife. Our marriage is a GIFT!"
She went on to say, "If we're going to be completely honest here, why don't we mention who does all of the work?"
"That's too inside," said Ben. "The people don't want to hear that!"View Slideshow »»

On this day in 1980 music lost one of its greats. John Bonham passed away after a night of heavy drinking at guitarist Jimmy Page's house. John reportedly drank 40 shots in just a few hours. The Led Zeppelin drummer is known, still to this day, for his one of a kind technique and some say the world's greatest Rock and Roll Drummer. Check out this tribute video to Bonzo.

8 Laundry Rooms That Went From Drab to Delightful
Pulling weeds is just about the most tedious task any gardener faces. But with many common species, you can take a route: Try eating them. Here's a somewhat complete list of commonly weeded plants that can add rustic flavor to your garden harvest. Just be careful — before you eat anything outside, positively ID it visually by using a guide book or by asking a knowledgeable person. Photos here are not necessarily illustrative of the plants in their edible form.
The scourge of many a lawn perfectionist, these flowering plants crop in most suburban and rural yards. But don't wipe them out with herbicides just yet. Dandelion leaves are a perfect, gourmet salad green when tossed with a light vinaigrette, and are packed with vitamin A, vitamin C, and beta carotene. The blooming flowers can be made into an intoxicating homemade wine, too.

Washtenaw County Sheriff's Senior Deputy Mark Mesko Retires
On Friday, March 22nd, 2013, Sheriff Jerry L. Clayton hosted a retirement luncheon for Corporal Mark Mesko, a senior staff member of the Sheriff's Office, honoring his 34 years of exemplary service, 25 of which were served in road patrol.
During his years of service, Corporal Mesko began as an Explorer with the Sheriff's Office in 1979 and moved into the position of Marine Safety Officer during which time he graduated from the Detroit Police Academy. Following his service as a Marine Safety Officer, he obtained a post as a Huron-Clinton Metro Parks Officer. He is retiring as a General Road Patrol Deputy Sheriff, a position he has held for the past 25 years. He has been active in training, both as a Field Training Officer and in Accident Investigation training. Dedicated to community involvement, he has been a part of Community Oriented Policing Strategy "COPS", and the Shop with a Cop volunteer program. He has served as an Ann Arbor Township "COPS" Officer as well as a Dexter Township "COPS" Officer.
Mark is the recipient of a number of commendations for his efforts as a Deputy Sheriff including multiple citations for individual meritorious service, unit citations and numerous letters of appreciation from citizens served over his years of service.
"Conscientious, thorough and determined in his work, Mark has repeatedly distinguished himself as an effective and thoughtful Deputy Sheriff. He understands the value and importance of building relationships within the communities we serve and the meaning of honor and service within our profession. We're sorry to see Mark leave active duty, but very happy and pleased for him as he begins a new stage in his working life." ~ Sheriff Jerry L. Clayton
Not one to let much grass grow under his feet, upon retirement Mark plans to "actually finish" the renovation of his farm house in Western Washtenaw County and build a private business in selected aspects of quality home remodeling.
Of special interest and note, the Sheriff's Office has a history of family members serving in its ranks over multiple generations. The Mesko family is the most recent to continue this tradition with the addition of Corporal Mesko's daughter, Aimee Mesko, to our ranks as a Community Service Officer. We wish Mark the best and are excited to have Aimee as a part of the Sheriff's Office staff.
Please join the Sheriff's Office in congratulating Corporal Mesko upon his well deserved and honorable retirement.

Traffic in downtown Moscow is horrible. And now that the weather is finally so nice, this comes as something of a shock, somehow.
But - I've seen a middle-aged traffic cop today who was smiling a genuine, human smile to a cute young girl on a moped, who, for some reason, had smiled to him first as she passed him on Bolshaya Nikitskaya.
I've also seen a traffic cop today who shouted an unusually friendly "ay-ay-ay" to a woman who decided not to bother walking all the way to the intersection and was instead crossing the street illegally, right in front of his car.
And, almost sadly (in this context, at least), I've seen a traffic cop who was talking on his cell phone about his kid's cold and low-grade fever.

An elderly, fat, homeless mutt was running down the dusty street, thinking: "I have survived. I have survived winter."
A tiny, young Yorkshire Terrier was riding a bicycle down by the river, squeezed into a leather bag that her gorgeous owner had tied to the rack over the rear wheel. They were going very fast. The poor thing was thinking: "I hope I'll survive this ride. I hope I'll survive."
All this on the second truly warm day of spring 2011 in Moscow. The 55th day of the actual, calendar, spring.

This note is pasted on one of the first-floor windows of an old building on Bolshaya Nikitskaya, which, I assume, houses the Moscow city branch of the Russian Writers' Union.
It reads like something from the 1980s, very sour in a Soviet kind of way, very pitiful. Very uninspiring.
But they mean well, so I wish them to succeed. Or - I hope they'll feel as if they've succeeded.
Internet is a path to the reader!
The Moscow City Organization of the Writers' Union of Russia is launching a program aimed at creating a centralized system of personal WEB-pages [sic] for writers who are members of the MCO WU of Russia.

In addition to this wonderful French site for kids, Marta really likes this Polish one. The ongoing Russian Orthodox Church luxury scandal has reminded me of her concern for Jesus and his family after she had played a Christmas baby Jesus game: "They are so poor, they live in a barn," she told me sadly, then added hopefully, "Did they become better off later?"

Moscow's downtown buildings, just as Kyiv's, don't get treated nicely when it comes to preserving their initial height...
Sunday, April 03, 2011
This is Moscow a few days ago:
And this is Moscow today - the first lovely spring day, but a bit too much dog shit everywhere still:
It'll only be getting better from now on, hopefully.

Baton Rouge Hoteliers LLC paid $3 million for the Calloway Inn and Suites, according to documents filed Thursday afternoon with the East Baton Rouge Clerk of Court.
The hotel sits on 4.6 acres near the intersection of Interstate 12 and Sherwood Forest Boulevard.
The new owners of the Calloway Inn and Suites said Monday they plan on boosting the food offerings at the Baton Rouge hotel in order to bring in more business.
The hotel's seller was listed as Glenda Calloway Deshotels.Rajesh Patel, of Port Allen, is the agent registered with Baton Rouge Hoteliers. Patel also is listed as the agent for Raj Hospitality, which will handle hotel's management. Raj Hospitality manages five other local hotels, including the La Quinta Inn & Suites on O'Neal Lane, the Best Western of Denham Springs and the Magnuson Hotel of Port Allen.
Britt Thompson of Raj Hospitality said the plan is to keep the Calloway Inn name. "It's part of Baton Rouge heritage," he said. "If we change the name, whatever we are, people will still call us 'The Old Calloway.'" It hasn't been determined if the hotel will fly under a national flag or if it will stay independent.
One thing that has been determined is the food and beverage offerings at the Calloway Inn will be upgraded. A continental breakfast will be added to the hotel, Thompson said. The plan is to ease into offering hot breakfasts, then lunch service and eventually a late-night breakfast buffet for the crowd at Club Coozan, Calloway's dance club, he said.
The new owners hope to attract more business by publicizing the 3,500 square feet of banquet space available. "We're hoping to utilize this space for weddings and business meetings," Thompson said.
The popular, themed suites, such as the purple-and-gold LSU suite, will remain. Some of the junior suites, however, may be broken up. Thompson said the Calloway has 125 rooms, but about 15 suites, which is a high number for a property its size.
Room renovations in progress at the hotel will be completed under the new ownership. "They've renovated about 30 or 35 rooms already, and it's a very attractive package with laminated floors and nice furnishings," he said. "We're going to continue along with that."

MasksThis may be a little long, but I found this is what I had to say about trusting people and/or not. Some people, I feel drawn to and for that reason alone, find myself able to "talk" more right from the beginning. There are a select few I am able to do this with though.
Do you or have you used a mask to 'protect yourself', and if so, have you grown so accustomed to this mask that you do not allow others to see the 'real you'?
I have done this myself. We have all had some type of disappointment or hurt(s) throughout our lives. Sometimes we feel the need to use a mask, trying to keep others' from getting through to us, afraid that we may be disappointed or hurt again.
There was a time when I was so accustomed to my mask, felt as if it were a shield around me, a wall...and if someone truly wanted to get to know me or seemed to care about me, then I expected them to take extra time and show me that they could be trusted.
In some ways with some people...I am still that way. I can't change that.
Yet there are those that I have learned to trust completely and have opened up to. I thank you, those who have stood by my side, taken the time to get to know me, allow me to know them, and to show that they actually do care enough about me, not to hurt me, and to show I can count on them, have their support.
To you, I am and will be forever grateful...
because you show me that there is good in a world that has become so filled with negativity and bad...
you have shown me that I can look forward to each day and have helped me to remain positive...
you have shown me that I do not have to be afraid to show my emotions, how I feel...
you have shown me how to 'not give up'...
you have shown me that I can be myself...and that I am okay just as I am...no mask needed.
And, I hope that you do know I am here for you in this same way.
Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. ~James A. Baldwin
I don't have a mask, as much as I have a "mirror." That is, to those I meet, I reflect the person they want me to be. I guess you could consider this a mask, but it's almost as if I take it one step further. I'm a chameleon. I am everyone and no one. I'm the perfect reflection of who you need me to be.

This started long ago, when I felt I couldn't live up to my parent's expectations. Rather than confronting that, I chose to fake it. To pretend to be what they thought I should be. It became a habit, no doubt brought on by a lack of confidence, but also a general wariness of allowing anyone to get close.

No doubt a large part of it is due to my personality in general. I'm INFJ, squared and relationships tend to suffocate me, but the greatest loss is that along the way I've lost myself completely. I don't know who I am, or what I want, because I've spent so much time being everyone. And no one.
So very well written and desc<x>riptive. I can identify with what you say in many ways. Thankfully I do have a couple of people who have never let me down and I can trust enough to confide in. I would do anything for them at any time too. Welcome to EP too !!
No problem HeartWings09, one thing I know for sure is that on EP I can get to know people on here who become close friends and always seem to be available to care. It seems a little easier to open up on here unlike the real world :-)
I am so glad that you feel free to "be yourself"; I happen to think that is the "most wonderful thing to be"...it is MUCH MORE than "you just being okay with who you are" with me, I really WANT my friends and acquaintences to FEEL that they have the same freedom that I do to be themselves...

I am free to be me...no masks but genuine, loving person who can say NO and set a boundary in a SPLIT second if someone is being pushy or manipulative. I reserve my "power to say NO"...I think that is what gives me the freedom to BE me and NOT fear being controlled...'course, I have LESS concern about being liked and therefore my comment is "If you don't like me; that is ok, I like me and that is enough"...*smile*

Sending a cyber hug and congrats!!!

P.O. Box 160
MVC Marks Opening of New East Orange Facility
(EAST ORANGE) – Highlighting a number of achievements attained through its strategic plan for facilities and services statewide, New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) Chief Administrator Sharon A. Harrington today celebrated the grand opening of the MVC's newest motor vehicle agency with a ribbon cutting ceremony in East Orange. Joined by state and local officials, Harrington stood at the doors of the new agency at 183 South 18th Street and expressed the MVC's strong commitment to providing clean, comfortable and modern facilities for its customers.
"During these critical times, it is particularly important that we demonstrate to New Jersey taxpayers that we are wisely investing our limited budget dollars," said Harrington. "Improvements to our physical infrastructure such as the East Orange Agency and other technological enhancements provide the greatest return on that investment and demonstrate that the MVC is prudent in its financial decisions.
The new East Orange Agency is the latest in a long line of facilities that the MVC has relocated or remodeled in recent years. The new, larger site, which replaces outdated facilities previously operated in East Orange and Irvington, provides both employees and customers with improved amenities, including nearly 2,300 more square feet of space. With double the number of customer service counters, an additional Digital Driver License (DDL) station and an expanded customer waiting area, the East Orange Agency represents another positive step forward for the MVC.
Customers visiting the East Orange Agency will be assisted by 29 staff members in a pleasant, bright, clean environment. Hours of operation at the agency are weekdays 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon.
Relying on a comprehensive Facilities Master Plan, the MVC has moved forward in the last few years in addressing physical infrastructure needs that not only improve service levels and provide greater efficiencies, but will also help to sustain the organization for years to come. The MVC has opened a number of new facilities throughout the state, moved to new, customer-friendly spaces, renovated existing locations and, more recently, is designing and building from the ground up on state-owned land.
In the last year, the MVC has opened new agencies in Bayonne (Hudson County) and Paterson (Passaic County) and broken ground on agencies to be built on the site of existing inspection stations in Freehold (Monmouth County) and Flemington (Hunterdon County). Freehold and Flemington are expected to open for business in Winter 2009 and Summer 2009, respectively.
"Over the last five years, the MVC can point to a great number of positive accomplishments in the areas of service, safety and security," added Harrington. "But as the public face of government, it is incumbent upon us to sustain this progress and continue to exceed the expectations of our customers by providing excellence in motor vehicle services. The new East Orange Agency is the latest example of that effort."

For many kids in the United States, playing football, or baseball is a natural choice as far as a team sport.
But for many reasons such as low risk of injury or effectiveness in fitness, soccer is becoming the better and safer option for kids in the US.
Soccer is the most popular sport in the world in terms of player numbers. According to the 2006 FIFA Big Count, there were 265 million soccer players in the world, 270 million when referees and match officials were included.
Physical Requirements
Soccer players don't need the physical strength of football players. Athleticism and fitness are important, but you don't need to be physically imposing to play soccer. Some of the world's top players, such as Lionel Messi, rely purely on skill and creativity rather than strength and stature. This makes soccer a more inclusive sport than football.
Soccer players don't need to spend large amounts of money on equipment. The two most costly items are soccer cleats and a ball, and neither need be overly expensive. A jersey, shorts and shin guards are the only other requirements. Football players must buy a large number of protective items for competitive play.
Easy to Learn
It doesn't take long to learn the basics of soccer. The rules are straightforward and easily defined, with only a few regulations -- such as the offside rule, leaving much room for confusion. Football is a more complex sport in terms of set plays and regulations.
Fighting obesity
Between videogames and families that do not eat at home anymore, children have a hard time staying fit and healthy. Junk food diets, sedentary lifestyle, and parents who work and are rarely home or involved in their lives have led America's children down a spiraling trend towards childhood obesity. Obesity doesn't simply affect children as they experience their youth, but will carry into lifelong habits and lead to the proliferation of diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and other weight related syndromes. The best way to combat childhood obesity is to encourage parents to provide good eating alternatives for the children and to get kids off of the couch and into the park. Soccer with its ease of play and lack of equipment is a perfect sport to allow kids to run, jump and keep their bodies more healthy.
Olympic Sport
If you dream of being an Olympic athlete, football is not the sport for you. Though football was featured in the 1932 Summer Olympics as a demonstration event, the International Olympic Committee has yet to accept football as an Olympic sport. Soccer has been a regular feature of the Olympics since 1900.
Global Reach
Soccer has a truly global reach; football is largely contained within North America. Soccer is like an international language that crosses cultural barriers, allowing you to share your love for the game with other fans throughout the world. Whether you are in Brazil, Burundi, Belgium or Bangkok, you find people with a common interest in soccer.
International Competition
Soccer provides more opportunities to compete internationally, at amateur and professional levels. Youth teams often go on tour abroad, and individual players can train in soccer camps across the world. At the highest level, soccer also gives you the chance to represent your national team against all other nations on the planet, something that football does not offer in any comparable way.
Soccer players are less prone to injuries than football players, according to the 2006 High School Sports-Related Injury Surveillance Study sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The one-year study found that football players had the highest injury rate, with 4.36 injuries per 1,000 athlete exposures. Male and female soccer players had a rate of 2.43 and 2.36, respectively.

Park Service reopens pull-outs at Mount Rushmore after complaints
RAPID CITY (AP) — The National Park Service is reopening to tourists a highway pull-out area that can be used to view and photograph Mount Rushmore from a distance following complaints that the agency is intentionally blocking viewing areas.
The national memorial in western South Dakota's Black Hills has been closed because of the federal government shutdown. Hundreds of tourists have complained that Park Service rangers also have placed cones along an area highway to stop drivers from pulling over to take photos of the iconic landmark, the Rapid City Journal reported.
"It just seems like it's over the top," said Tom Hagen, owner-operator of Rushmore Cave, who fielded a barrage of complaints last week from tourists. "Why wouldn't you let someone pull over and take a picture?"
The National Park Service never intended to ruin anyone's view of Mount Rushmore, said Patricia Trap, deputy director of the agency's Midwest region.
"None of that is correct," she said.
The Park Service has a limited number of rangers available during the shutdown, and some pull-out areas were blocked with cones out of security concerns because there weren't enough rangers to monitor those areas, she said.
The agency is reopening one pull-out area whose closure sparked most of the complaints. The area, unofficially called "profile pull-out," offers a popular side view of the monument that features the stone-carved faces of U.S. presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.
Trap said illegal parking at the pull-out area has become a public safety concern, and at least one driver drove over the cones in protest.
The Park Service has gotten help from state patrol officers and figured out a way to rearrange its rangers while still maintaining security, Trap said.
"We very much appreciate our continued working relationship with the state of South Dakota," she said.
