In Reply to: RE: Height adjustable isolation feet for my VPI HW-19 Mk 2 posted by Music Man Bob on April 15, 2017 at 14:00:45
For both of my turntables, I used post it notes to adjust the final level.
I started leveling the stand as best I could. Then leveled the isolation shelf. Then finally the turntable itself.. (measuring at the platter)
plain old slips of paper work really well.
Follow Ups:
i used old playing cards lol
in correct colors, ink type and with the write fonts in nice pens(wo)menship not only will
your TT work better and provide better sound, your listening pleasure will be upped!
Also stack them at incongruous angles for ultimate effect.
Sounds anti-intuitive but does the trick.
"Once this was all Black Plasma and Imagination" -Michael McClure
8-32, for instance, one full turn is a 32nd inch. Half a turn, one 64th and so on.
To the bolts that thread into the chassis I always add a pair of nuts, one to snug up to the chassis, the other tightened against it to lock them in place
I can't imagine needing paper shims with mechanical adjustment that fine. To each his own, I guess.

Velo-City: Perth » Shelley Loop takes in two rivers
Shelley Loop takes in two rivers
This two Rivers Ride offers a flexible route to suit all abilities.
Distance: 16-53kms
Terrain: dead flat
Level: Easy
This route which takes in sections of two of Perth's main rivers is one of the classic training rides for roadies in Perth, but it also provides a modular scenic route for those who want to gradually increase their mileage. I had just used the Shelley Loop section for training for years before I actually realized what I was missing and took the time to get out on my cruising bike and enjoy the scenery.
The proximity of railway stations at key positions on the route means it is suitable for mixed level groups or people who want to work up to longer rides, as you can opt in or out, at a variety of distances. Water fountains and toilets are located about every three kilometers on this ride.
The longest version of this ride starts from the Perth Esplanade Station, in William St, in the CBD. It is about 200 metres from the station to the bicycle path on the river, which takes you to the Narrows Bridge and then south along the path for just over 12 kms along the Swan River, beside the Kwinana Freeway, past the Canning Bridge (where the Swan and Canning rivers meet) to the Mount Henry Bridge. A train station at Canning Bridge provides the opportunity for those who want a medium ride to start their cycle south of the city.
From the Mount Henry Bridge you leave the bicycle path briefly, for about one kilometre along the Esplanade (which becomes Pulo Road) a quiet, wide street leading to Leach Highway, where you can pick up the bike path again. This intersection of Pulo Road and Leach Highway is right next to the Bullcreek Station, so those who only want to do the short Shelley Loop of the route can join in here.
The bike path follows Leach Highway east for about a kilometre before turning left into BullCreek Road, which becomes Riverton Drive and then runs for 8 kms beside the Canning River all the way to the Shelley Bridge. This is the section known as the Shelley Loop, and favoured by roadies due to the quiet, flat roadway, but it is such a pretty stretch of river, with abundant wildlife to watch, that it seems a pity to be head down, bum up, instead of taking time to enjoy the view.
At Shelley Bridge there are no amenities, unfortunately, but if you turn around and do the loop in reverse, back to Bull Creek Station you will find water and toilet stops along the path. Those who choose to ride back to the Perth Esplanade Station will clock up about 53 kms, while those who simply take the train to Bull Creek and ride the Loop from there will cover 16 kms, with a variety of choices in between. This is definitely one of the more versatile rides in Perth and can be tailored to suit your mood and your company with ease.

Question: I have a red LG Xenon phone with a few pictures I've taken over the years (have had it for a while). Is there a way to send those photos to myself or friends using email?
Question: I have a Pantech Impact P7000 mobile phone. I am wanting to transfer my pictures from my phone to my hp laptop. My search for a data pilot kit has not been successful. I have vista on this laptop.
I have a Sony Ericsson W350i phone which I have updated with current software from Sony (no MicroSD installed - photos are in phones memory). I have tried unsuccessfully to transfer photos from the cellphone to my PC. I have Vista Home Premium.
I'm wondering if I could hook up my sprint phone to my fax machine, so I can send faxes. I don't want a home phone line.
Sprint caps their 3G data plans at 2 GB a month, but 4G connectivity is unlimited and way faster too.
Phones that let you send text messages have been around for quite some time, such as the Motorola RAZR (or really any phone that has a text messaging plan).
I had to drop my car off at Les Schwab this morning and realized I forgot to bring my cell phone with me, so I couldn't call my wife to let her know how long I'd be.
The Motorola 376g (KRAZR) camera phone from Tracfone comes equipped with Bluetooth support for hands-free headset devices, letting you keep your hands on the steering wheel while you make calls or answer incoming calls.
Question: I recently purchased a Motorola W376g camera phone from Tracfone, and I'd like to get pictures I took on it over to my computer. Is this possible?
Question: Someone sent me 2 ringtones in an email. How can I e-mail them to my phone? Is there anyway I can bluetooth them?

Where Is The Wisdom?
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
–T.S. Eliot (The Rock)
Are we lost in information technology? We are blessed to live in an age of unlimited information at our fingertips. We all have the capacity to be connected anytime, anywhere anyplace. Has this made us better citizens and better people? Are we smarter, more fulfilled and happier now that information technologies run our lives?
I say no. That is because it has become less of a useful tool, than an obsession, a distraction. Everyday, people are hit by cars while engaged in their information devices, failing to pay attention to their environment. That points to a lack of wisdom, bordering on stupidity.
Knowledge derived from information, must be useful and practical, where it will make our lives better and helps us to expand and express ourselves. Knowledge as recreation and distraction reduces us to consumers, machines run by and filled with information that is, (at best) of marginal use.
Due to knowledge that leads to no wisdom, we have lost the capacity to discern and transform into practice what is really needed, to be independent, productive, self-actualized thinkers and doers; Personal Wisdom. That is personal wisdom as derived from rich experiences, filled with meaning, not droning information machines.
When was the last time you took a day off from information technology? When was the last time you physically (non cyber) connected to a person, or nature, a higher power or your emotional and spiritual self? Beware the tool becomes the master. We are what we pay attention to.

LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) - Wink Adams scored 23 points and pulled down 10 rebounds to help lead UNLV to a 73-65 win over Wyoming on Saturday.
The Rebels (20-6, 9-3 Mountain West Conference) led by double digits throughout most of the second half after going on a 26-14 run to take a 60-43 lead with 10 minutes remaining.
Rene Rougeau scored 16 points for UNLV, and Matt Shaw added 12.
Brandon Ewing led Wyoming (10-16, 3-10) with 20 points and six assists. Tyson Johnson added 16 points and eight rebounds, and Ryan Dermody scored 13 points for the Cowboys.
Shaw scored nine points during a 12-4 UNLV run that gave the Rebels a 17-11 lead midway through the first half.
The Cowboys responded with the next six points to tie the score at 17, but the Rebels went on a 17-9 run, including 10 points from Adams, to take a 34-26 advantage into the break.

Join us, brothers, join us and WE shall make a difference of which our posterity shall be grateful for the continuation of our Constitutional Republic.
This is our opportunity to stand and make a real difference, which will be carried far into history. Veterans In Defense Of Liberty, will outlive each of us and, shall become the most prestigious organization of US Veterans, formed to preserve liberty through the defense of our Constitution. They shall say of us, as James Madison said of those 56: "There never was an assembly of men [and women] charged with a great and arduous trust who were more pure in their motive, or more exclusively or anxiously devoted to the object committed to them," than were the members of the Veterans In Defense Of Liberty, to the objective of securing, once again, "a constitutional system which should … best secure the permanent liberty and happiness of their country."
Beyond monthly news letters, video ("Constitutional press Conferences") and regular updates, we expect to host our first major event as an organizational "role out," together with a press conference, in a major location within the next 12 months. This first formal muster will incorporate several foundation proceedings, which will sound the call to our beloved nation, informing it that we are: still here, that we still remember our oath, that we are unwilling to allow that, to which 56 men pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor, to become a footnote in history.
Thereafter, there will be held a national muster each year. There will be a three day Divisional muster each year, which will prove to be most educational, informative and effective in actively defending our Constitution. Additionally each state battalion and state divisional company will hold events which fit the needs of their local areas.

So much to convey.
Today:
I was asked if my husband knew her.

Yes, in ways large and small, he knew her quite well.
She was like he; believing in a we...that was shattered once again.
How many times had he protected that same little piece of the Big Apple Pie?
We are shaken.
We are sad, and mad, and I am still processing all of my emotions. I have been going about my day as a normal person with normal-people problems: my A/C busted, running from here to there, simply trying to fit it all in without breaking too much of a sweat.
Except I'm running my brain on two separate reels: one playing the minute details of my day, the other a track that cannot stop thinking about the loss we suffered as a Blue Family. That same reel cannot stop tweeting the rotten NYC mayor.
There is no rhyme or reason; I know this, and yet I will not stop playing that same tape over and over in my head, at least not in this moment.
In this moment, I will pray.

I've been inundated with a couple of big projects, but my heart and mind are never too far from this Blog and my Police Family. I wish you all a Happy and Safe Independence Day...or as we all say today: "Happy 4th of July!"

SCW Stellahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437870473980630956.post-82642174455948923172017-03-22T16:01:00.002-04:002017-03-22T16:01:31.593-04:00ConversationI was coming home from class on the train last night and just happened to strike up a conversation with two people who were also eating dinner at 9:45 pm. If you could classify eating dinner as shoveling fistfuls of popcorn in your mouth, and chomping on overpriced eats from that great eatery called You Were Open Late.
But I digress.
It was a fabulous conversation most likely to be had in NYC: a Italian-American we'll call me; a self-proclaimed liberal Jewish woman who had true NYC grit all over her face, and an African-American man who seemed interested yet overwhelmed by these two talkative ladies.
We started chatting about where we were coming from; all of us hustling as most New Yorkers do. The conversation was bold and honest as we talked work, politics, and New York City's Failed Mayor. (Do I really need to mention his name?)
I talked about my Blog, my Show, and being a voice for the #NYPD.
I asked with curiosity: "How many active duty Members do you think are in the NYPD?"
One of them said six and the other said eight thousand.
There are currently somewhere around 35,000 active duty Members in the NYPD.
They were both surprised and perhaps shocked; it usually takes a while for people to understand the real breadth and scope of our police force, and how it truly is like no other.
What's funny is this: we had an honest discussion about police misconduct/brutality, the Black Lives Matter movement, the murders of Ramos and Liu, and the things that the Media would lead you to believe that we cannot talk about...not today...not without shouting or berating each other...and I daresay we all enjoyed our talk.
I pointed out that if there are 35,000 Members in the NYPD and you hear about...let's say 10 "bad" cops...what kind of percentage is that?
I sought after them: "Then is it okay to paint the Police with a broad brush, assuming that...all cops are a certain way?"
I hope I left them with food for thought.
I know I left them feeling good about New York, and New Yorkers in particular.
Life is tough, the country is in chaos, and I just heard about another terror attack today in London.
But there are still moments when an exchange of ideas and a friendly smile (not to mention bad late night food) might connect us all.

For those of you not on Twitter, I've been trending all day.
Actually, since last night.
As I tweeted earlier: "I am taking the country by storm!"
(Insert eye roll here)
Of course, I think I'm funny.
That said: it's a little less of a HaHa that I have no idea if my husband will make it home tonight.We are still accumulating snow right here in the Sixth Borough and although it's not the huge flakes that were hitting the ground at breakneck speed earlier today, I have a funny feeling that this stuff that's happening now is going to turn to ice.
Soon.
So as everyone else enjoys the day in, I will join you in baking, but my mind is elsewhere, and my heart is always with the men and women of the #NYPD who don't get Snow Days.

I was standing on line, playing with my phone, when someone stepped directly in front of me and practically pressed her face up to the glass, checking out all the options.
Hmmm,
okay.
My 20-year old self probably would have reacted with a nasty sarcastic comment, said loudly, directed towards anyone who would listen.
My 30-year old self would have settled for a huff and an eye-roll, perhaps some form of audible sigh and/or jeer.
My 40-something-current-day-self gave an internal shrug, and although I wasn't thrilled, simply let it go. When the Female Salad Concoctioner asked who was next, I stepped up and said, "me" ---mostly because I was trying to meet someone on time.
As I was picking my various toppings, it occurred to me that the Line Cutter was pointing to her choices and then trying to make sounds as the Male Salad Magician did his magic.
In a New York Minute I realized that the Line Cutter was deaf.
Hmmm,
okay.
I grabbed my salad, met Ari for a coffee, and made it to class on time.
After class I was craving an ice-cold Snapple. I dropped into a Rite Aid, and as I was getting on line, there was a homeless man directly behind me, putting a big pack of Depends on top of his cart.
And it struck me: the need for this item was quite possibly because he didn't always have access to a bathroom.
I was at Register 8, he was four behind me, but as soon as I paid for my Snapple, I told the girl who was ringing me up to please go give my credit card to the person who was checking out the man at Register 4. I told her to tell him that his purchase was being paid for by someone else. The man figured it out quickly, as the place wasn't packed, and when our eyes met, he smiled and thanked me.
I put my fingers to my mouth as if to say, "ssshhh"---like it was our little secret.
I figured that was the very least I could do.
It's amazing how many opportunities you have in the midst of a regular old day. You have the opportunity to be an asshole; or to be someone's shining star.
It's up to you.
Hmmm,
okay?

Yesterday, my son and I popped into a local store and a NYC Corrections Bus was parked outside.
Without missing a beat he pointed to the bus and said, "That's a funny bus!"
Ah, kid...you have no idea. SCW Stellahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437870473980630956.post-90473592987031407952017-01-20T11:16:00.000-05:002017-01-20T11:16:40.746-05:00InaugurationMy husband has a good friend who works for the Department of Homeland Security. He will, now and again, tell us a little bit about his work; about the people he will investigate and eventually arrest.
These people are child predators.
They are the lowest of the low: they are child molesters, people who prey on our children via the Internet or in real life. His job is often comprised of long days, difficult interrogations (some where he actually has to play a role and act as if he is the perp's 'friend') and every so often, traveling to another state in order to round up the Monster.
I sometimes cannot listen. I generally want to throw up in my mouth.
He is only allowed to do this job for a total of five years before being moved to another division; the Department is smart enough to know that being immersed in this filth can irreparably damage your heart, if not your mind.
This week, hubby's friend was called to do a Security Detail for the Inauguration. He, along with 10,000 other Federal Agents, will be doing Security for the Trump Inauguration. He was not asked to do this, he was told, and his politics don't have a voice today, or this weekend.
Here's what's interesting: I have friends in Law Enforcement, I have friends in the Acting world, I have friends in every imaginable corridor of this Country.
I have friends who guard soon to be President Trump.
I have friends who have protested and will be protesting this weekend.
This doesn't really bother me, although it sometimes bothers other people who assume things about me.
I could honestly care less. There's one rule here: don't go after my Blue Family.
Period.
If you're protesting this weekend, I expect you to be nice to the Police Officers. (Federal, State, Local, etc.) Be respectful.
Don't throw things at the Officers, don't call them names, and don't try to do anything stupid in order to get your point across.
Because you never know...you could be hurting someone who could one day protect your child. SCW Stellahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437870473980630956.post-66529915773958623462016-12-28T21:50:00.000-05:002016-12-28T21:50:25.143-05:00NYE in NYC

New Year's Eve in New York City...there really is nothing else like it. People all around the globe tune in to see our world-renowned #NYC Ball Drop in Times Square and revelers from all over get excited by the energy that Our City provides.
It's the one night where we certainly do not sleep!

It's also the one night that Law Enforcement Families more often than not do not get to celebrate with their loved one. Whether covering the Borough Precincts or being called in for the Times Square Ball Drop, our #NYPD Officers work long and hard to keep the City safe and make the tourists feel welcome. I can tell you first-hand that my husband has worked several Ball Drop details, in the freezing cold, for a 12-15 hour tour more years than not.
The truth is that working on New Year's Eve not only means a toast with the dog, but it generally means that New Year's Day is destroyed too as he is busy recovering (read: sleeping) from the extra-long shift.
I know you know. I mean, if you're reading this Blog, you are either in Law Enforcement, married to someone who is...or contemplating it.
You get it.
Wouldn't it be nice for New York City to have a Mayor that gets it too?
The above video is a quick take on the Holiday from Michel Faulkner, current candidate for NYC Mayor. Feel free to join the Candidate that Backs the Blue, not only on Holidays, but every day. Feel free to copy, paste, and share. Get the word out any way you can.
He's the real deal, people.SCW Stellahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437870473980630956.post-73204118908874097142016-12-25T22:39:00.001-05:002016-12-25T22:39:13.658-05:00Enough Said

SCW Stellahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437870473980630956.post-51606768213070072412016-11-10T20:46:00.002-05:002016-11-10T20:46:46.331-05:00Perspective This week has been a brutal one for the NYPD. They are stretched to capacity, helping to protect not one but two Presidential candidates, being a clear presence at poling stations across the City, and then going on to try and keep now President-Elect Trump protected from the public.
And then they laid to rest one of their own, today, on Long Island.
I have been mainly silent about Politics on this Blog, preferring to go after the Mayor of the City of New York with vigor, but really not weighing in all too much on the debate. I live in New York, after all, the bluest of blue states...and although I have friends on both sides of the aisle, I think it's safe to say that geographically I know where most people fall.
Until today.
Until today, I could not possibly ignore the wailing and protesting that has been going on---in Social Media, and in real life---because, let's face it: everyone has an opinion. And right now everyone is unabashedly sharing it.
Today I decided that I needed to make one thing clear to anyone who may decide to describe their political experience as being in mourning. Today, I say to you: ENOUGH.
Let's gain a little perspective here.
There is a woman out on Long Island who is steeped in mourning. Her name is Lisa Tuozzolo.
She is in mourning.
You are not "in mourning" because your Presidential Candidate lost her bid for the White House. Your life will go on, even if it doesn't feel like it right now.
Lisa's husband, Sgt. Paul Tuozzolo, will never come home again. His four and three year old sons may or may not remember him. Either way, they will have to live the rest of their lives without a father who loves them.
He is gone.
Gone because an absolute piece of trash decided to take his life. As SBA President Ed Mullins said:
"We remain under attack," Mullins said. "In the past three years, five members of the NYPD were not killed in the line of duty. They were murdered in the line of duty."
For all my friends and readers who are currently bemoaning their fate, and wondering what they can "do" about this shocking turn of political events, here's what you can do:
---Say a prayer for Lisa Tuozzolo and her sons tonight. Keep them in prayer during what is sure to be the most difficult season of their lives.
---Start a movement. Don't like Trump? Fine. Then show kindness if you feel he has been rude. Send a sympathy card to a woman whose life has been shattered, not a "Thank-you" card to Hillary Clinton. Perhaps you can do something nice for a Police Officer today...?
---Think outside the Box. Stop ranting and raving. To the other side: stop gloating. It is what it is. I know some people reading this post might think I don't get it, but here's the rub; I "get it" more than you will ever know.

I get it, on levels and in ways you can never understand. When I saw the footage of my fellow Police Wife today, I reached out to touch the television with tears streaming down my face and said, "I'm sorry honey."
I broke wide open then, crying a torrent of tears, knowing it could have been me, or any one of us. SCW Stellahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437870473980630956.post-41028324865954748522016-11-08T08:55:00.001-05:002016-11-08T08:55:06.496-05:00Election 2016

Twitter is usually my go to: Stella@SuddenlyCopWife or...https://www.facebook.com/groups/135990693114821/SCW Stellahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437870473980630956.post-77887564343016111332016-11-06T22:18:00.002-05:002016-11-06T22:18:42.929-05:00Non-domesticatedIt started with a domestic dispute.
I warn you: my husband has been known to say that I don't just beat a dead horse to make a point. I will beat it, bury it, dig that poor horse back up again, and then start all over.
And sometimes I'm hard to take.
I get it.
I don't even mind it. I am tenacious at best.
Relentless when I'm at my very worst.
But I will tell you something with no shame whatsoever: I will never back down when I know I am right, especially for the sake of something righteous.
I admit; I am pedantic at times.
Therefore I will say this again: it all started with a domestic dispute.
Those things that happen to other people...those disturbances that so many New Yorkers pretend not to hear through the wall...the hard truth that hits on all levels.
Now an NYPD Sergeant is dead.
Yet Another Officer is...dead. He will not be going home to his wife and children ever again. Our Department will attend another funeral this week, the bunting will be brought out, the candles will be lit.
All because a career criminal was out on the street (don't get me started here) and chose to terrorize his estranged wife and then, in a split-second, chose to take the life of one of our own.
And it's not okay.
Our Officers are constantly berated; they are a target in a world gone wild, and they are certainly not fodder for the various Idiots that may be running our Illustrious City, but do not have a clue.
I would say more, but the horse needs a break, and I'm a Cop's Wife who is tired of seeing her husband off to a funeral.
RIP Sgt. Paul Tuozzolo.
You deserved better.

He was a nice old man that I didn't know well, but since he came to stay with them, he would always greet me out on my walks and stop to say Hello or smile.
As time passed, he would introduce himself to me or ask me who I was; even though I had seen him many times before. It broke my heart a little, and if he was with his daughter/my neighbor, we would simply exchange a look.
I had forgotten that he was once an NYPD Officer...until today. I found out about his death and I remembered and I thought it important to not only send a sympathy card but to thank his family for his service.
He was an old man; many years retired, but I still paused to think: how many lives did he save? How many people did he help? What precinct did he serve in, and how many stories would I never get a chance to hear?
Every once in a while, I feel a burst of love and support over the wire, and if I'm on Twitter, I will hashtag a tweet with #NYPDFamily. I'm not sure if I invented that #hashtag, or if I saw someone else use it, but it seems fitting to mention it today.
For tomorrow morning I will send a homemade bread and sincerest condolences across the street, to a small part of the Blue Family.
Thank you Sir...Rest in Peace.SCW Stellahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437870473980630956.post-65546973209772136332016-10-12T00:07:00.001-04:002016-10-12T00:07:28.959-04:00Thought Life Did you ever wonder how many friends you'd have left in the world if they could read your mind, and know your deepest, innermost thoughts?
People are unfollowing each other left and right on Social Media because of this election; it makes me wonder sometimes just who would love you in spite of yourself in today's world.
(Insert Jesus here.)
I thought about a few thousand things today: I thought about the impending election, I thought about how people perceive things vs. reality...I thought about Zymere Perkins again...I thought about the system, and who the good guys are, and I thought about the bad guys too.
It's left me feeling melancholy.

Big mistake.
The third story in was about a little black boy in Harlem that had been murdered. The story went on to tell about how the mother's boyfriend had beat him to death.
Allegedly.
Let me just say this: there is no alleged. They showed some film of the junkie mother and her savage boyfriend being arraigned; and my stomach went into free fall.
Maybe it's because I have a child now; maybe it's because I grew up in a bad situation...not sure, but I can tell you for sure that I had a visceral reaction to this poor child being murdered.
It is still raw.
I have been tweeting New York City's most inept mayor. (Small M on purpose; he doesn't deserve my respect) and I have been tweeting about this, and talking about it, and rolling it around in my head. Just how does this happen? Who is at fault here? Are you and I at fault, on some level? Because it takes a Village, right? How about the neighbors in Harlem?
YOU CANNOT TELL ME THAT YOU CAN BEAT A SIX-YEAR-OLD TO DEATH AND NOBODY HEARD ANYTHING.
Where, Oh Where are the Black Lives Matter Activists on this one?!
When the BLM crew gets going, they like to say things over and over, they chant, and one of the favorite tag lines is: Say His/Her Name.
#sayhername
How about this:
ZYMERE PERKINS.
There. I said it. Zymere Perkins.
Will saying it again bring him back? You can argue all sorts of things, but many times when a BLM Activist gets behind an untimely death, said person was shot/killed while in the process of committing a crime.
Zymere Perkins was an innocent baby; a small child whose life was taken away from him at the hands of an evil piece of garbage.
And now the mayor has lawyered up.
I'm writing about this now as I didn't have time last week to Blog, but I can also tell you that I was waiting to see how things would pan out...I waited to see if the Black Lives Matter protestors would take to the streets.
There's been no sign of them in Harlem.
Isn't that strange.

I had to work this morning. I didn't mention 9/11 because we all knew, and I swear the air was full of all that was left unsaid. After teaching a class, I dipped into a supermarket because I had to grab a thing or two for the company I have coming over in a bit, and I came across this headline in today's Daily News. I took a snap but left it.
I don't need to read the article.
I took another quick turn into the bagel store and saw that they were reading the names from Ground Zero on the TV screen above our heads. I ordered my bagels and left with a sigh.
It's all there. All over again. It always is and I wonder if it always will be.
I suspect it will.
And so it goes.

Before three other Officers were wounded, and sent to the hospital, to recover and worry about their fellow Officers.
The placaters who have been tweeting and shouting and insisting "All Lives Matter" just don't have a clue.
There is an evil that exists in this world, and although I believe that God Himself values each and every life, I certainly don't have to, nor will I hide behind such an incredibly trite statement.
A child molester's life DOES NOT MATTER.
Not one bit.
A serial killer's life DOES NOT MATTER, and he or she would certainly be better off not hiding among those of us who would like to live out our lives.
What do you say to this bunch, when a BLACK POLICE OFFICER was shot and killed over the weekend? Was he then Black, or Blue?
Did he just become a hashtag?
For all the people sitting on the sidelines: do you really have nothing better to do with your lives, then comment on something which you know absolutely nothing about...?
Leave it to us: the Police Families, who sit home and worry, who text and wait. Leave it to us to tell you the truth:
ALL LIVES DON'T MATTER.SCW Stellahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437870473980630956.post-29730250697902655912016-07-11T10:21:00.000-04:002016-07-11T10:21:13.383-04:00Suddenly a Veteran I remember right before I had my son, I was out one night walking my dog, and ran into a neighbor I knew in passing. It was just a few weeks before I had my baby, and everyone was offering advice, or commenting, or perhaps just reminiscing.
Her words to me were: "Ah, I remember those days so well. The days are long, but the years are short."
I thought about what she said but of course found that I didn't fully understand her until I had one of those incredibly long days: a teething, crying, blubbering mess of a day.
And that was just me.

This weekend I thought a lot about being a Cop's Wife. I thought about how far I've come. Due to the awful events that just occurred around the country, I've become a hot property, and everyone has been asking my advice. They want my take on the assassination of the Dallas Officers, and some even want my take on the shootings of the civilians that preceded them. I am sifting through requests to speak as well as answering emails and commenting when I can.

I am being as honest as I can be; I am continuing to be me, and in the midst of all the exchanges, something very profound occurred to me: I am now a Veteran Cop's Wife. I've been at this almost a decade. I am no longer Suddenly a Cop's Wife. I now have the younger generation, the new wives, the fiancees...the significant others that are new to this precarious lifestyle...looking to me, to answer their questions and allay their fears.

Here's what I can say: there will be long days, and nights, and shifts that feel as if they are never-ending. But the years (in retrospect) are short.
You will get through this; this time of uncertainty, of difficulty, of fear...of feeling as if the whole world is against you, or that no one seems to understand.

You will turn around and you will find yourself suddenly like me. It never gets "easier," but it evens out, and you learn how to manage your energy, for there is only so much time that you can sit home and wring your hands.

You are his/her partner for a reason. Obviously God thought you could handle it.
So know that it won't always be this way. And as the days shuffle by into years, know that there are women just like me, standing right by your side.

He's sleeping right next to me. Thank God. So sick of all this...
I got up to greet the day, and encountered this headline:

Dallas sniper who gunned down 5 cops 'wanted to kill white people,' chief says

And here's the entire report as of right now:

Someone just asked me to join a Facebook Group. I liked the idea of it so I contacted the Administrator who basically said that she couldn't let me join the group unless my Facebook Profile stated my address, city, or town.
Ah...no.
I know there are some Cop's Wives who have no problem doing this; they are the same women who actually post pictures of their men in uniform on their page, and do all sorts of things I would never do.
It's not worth it.
If you're reading this as some sort of major guilt trip: get over it. That's not what I'm saying.
What I'm saying is that I take my husband's safety seriously. I also have a child and a dog that I take care of, and with the whole world being SO connected today...I don't fool around.
I don't post pictures or addresses or mention my kid because even perps use Facebook. And if you think their "security" is secure...well. Crazy people are on Twitter all day long. (Trust me on this) And between this, that, and the other thing...there are various ways that someone can seek to do us harm.
So I'm a Safety Girl. Perhaps over the top. Maybe paranoid.
But safe. And that's what counts.

This morning when I hit the News, I found out that the suspect was shot and killed after an exchange of gunfire.
Fine by me.

Or knew someone who knew someone who knew the person.
If someone famous dies, there's this idea that if you are on the peripheral edges of that death, that you are somehow "in the know."
If you're a fan, it strikes you hard. When Prince died, I know a lot of people who decided to listen to his music nonstop, for days, and perhaps even now, weeks on end.
It's an odd sort of soothing.
Friday night, the Media was all over the story of NYPD Inspector Michael Ameri, who was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
When I heard the story, I thought: Oh My God, I knew him.
I didn't know him in the traditional sense: he followed me on Twitter, and I followed him. He favorited a Tweet or two of mine, and I did the same.
Does it count?
Did I know him?
Could I be saddened by his passing all the same?
The same way I drowned in the melancholy of When Doves Cry, I felt entitled to feel something for a man who was obviously troubled.
Sure, there is now all sorts of speculation: was he the focus of a federal corruption probe in the department?
Today's Newsday is reporting that not to be true.

http://www.newsday.com/news/new-york/nypd-cop-found-dead-on-li-not-probe-target-union-head-says-1.11802077

Does it matter?
It's still a life given in service, and then lost in the most tragic of ways.
Today I send love and good energy out to a family that lost its loved one: whether it is Prince's family, or Michael Ameri's...or the entire #NYPD Family. SCW Stellahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437870473980630956.post-51947666168227822962016-05-02T20:25:00.000-04:002016-05-02T20:25:15.802-04:00Small Town Carnival Even though we live in the Sixth Borough, we live in what most people would consider a small town; it's a community right outside of The Big Apple, where cops can let out their breath for a minute.
Every year our small town hosts a typical carnival-type event, and last year we went for the first time with our son. He was young enough to not know fear, so he went on all the rides, and we left there feeling as if we had touched a small slice of Americana, even if for just a few hours.
This year we went but our child is a year older and a bit more aware. He was not interested in the rides. He didn't even want to walk by some, because they were larger than life to him, and perhaps the things that toddler nightmares are made of...I'm not sure, but either way, I wasn't interested in sticking around in order to figure it all out.
We made a decision to get some ice cream, but on our way out of the carnival, my husband made a quick detour over to the Police Officer who was directing traffic. He showed our son the Officer and told him to wave. The Officer seemed rather excited and waved back, and when he had the chance, stepped off of his post in order to greet my son and offer him a tiny plastic badge.
My son liked this far better than the dinosaur ride that sat right behind him.
He clutched the badge, and yelled in his little boy voice, "Thank You Mr. Police Man!"
We all chuckled.
When we left, I gave my husband a look that only couples that are married great lengths of time can interpret and immediately understand.
"Ah...it was important for him and for that Officer."
I get it.
I always have.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conversely, I was turning onto our road today and saw the local Police parked directly outside my house, idling there, window down. I may have taken the turn a bit quickly as I pulled up alongside the SUV.
"Did you need me for something, were you looking for me?" I addressed the Officer with my heart hammering in my chest.
"No, but you didn't come to a complete stop just then." He sneered at me.
It took a moment to process his words.
"Oh!" Then it dawned on me. He was sitting outside my house trying to catch people running the Stop Sign at the turn onto my road.
I blinked, then said, "My husband is NYPD. I thought you were serving me a notification."
The look on his face said he didn't understand or perhaps care.
That was fine. I get it. In a small town, running a Stop Sign gets elevated to a level of importance that it would not have in the streets of the Big City.
But he also didn't understand why I did not...could not...pause.
It's that half a second, that moment of not knowing...that breath you just can't get...the irrational urge to scream at him and say, "DO NOT IDLE IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. EVER!"
So...today was a different kind of small-town carnival.
A sideshow, perhaps. SCW Stellahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3437870473980630956.post-21921590243039547102016-04-11T09:49:00.001-04:002016-04-11T09:49:07.043-04:00The Spartan Race

Soft cover and 94 pages
Focusing on how to best train pointing dogs and doing it with compassion, this book captures the West Method of training as applied and refined by Maurice.
Soft cover and 94 pages
Boin –
Hi Anne a lot of my dogs sight point when they are young and I've had some that were distracted by aipalrnes. These pups have a lot of pointing instinct. What you want to do is ignore the behavior . Don't try to correct it. When she points, don't stop or stand still or acknowledge it. Keep right on walking and ignore her. Don't say anything like leave it, etc. Ignore her and she will outgrow it as training progresses and she is exposed to more birds. Hope this helps. She sounds like a good one, Martha
Guy –
Mo's method works…I have used his approach for about five dogs over the years and they are good hunters, win and place in field trials.
Dean Stainberg –
Training with Mo book is a great instructional book. I have used this to train my pointing dogs and have success. I own four pointing dogs, Vizslas and WPG. Softer dogs that don't have success with harsh old school training methods.

Dad takes Jack and Anna for a hike. They spend a great day outdoors, stop by a stream, and even see a deer!
The next day, the kids want to go for another hike, but Dad is too busy. Instead, brother and sister resort to playing in the yard. But when they lie on their stomachs, they see the grass looks like meadows and the bushes look like trees. The water from the hose can makes a stream and the ladybug and potato bugs are wild animals!

Base camps are comfortable wooden lodges with beds and shower located at 5,700 feet / 1,900 m. Skilled stuff makes you feel comfortable.

First and foremost, if you are serious about making Torn Critters, should know a little bit about Mulberry Paper, the basic types of mulberry paper and thicknesses that are on the market. Mulberry paper is not readily available in most craft stores; therefore, most of your shopping will be done online. You are probably asking yourself "If you carry this paper, why would you share this information with me?" Good Question. Let's face it, most of us are bargain shoppers, including myself. While we DO carry the BEST paper for creating your torn critters, I know you may come across what looks to be a good deal. Knowing what you are looking for, and what questions to ask will help you determine if the "deal" you found is the right paper to get the job done.
It is important to know that not all mulberry paper is created equally. You should be informed on what type of paper you are purchasing. Most importantly, don't be afraid to ask questions before you buy. Of course, our store carries exactly the type of paper you will need for making torn Teddies.
Where does mulberry paper come from?
I know this does not seem all that important, but you are playing with paper and I always feel that a little bit of knowledge goes a long way. Mulberry Paper is made for the bark of the Saa Tree. The Saa tree grows abundantly in the wild in all over South East Asia (Thailand) in the damp soils along river banks. These trees are not harmed or cut down to create this special paper, which makes this paper environmentally friendly. Once a year, these trees are stripped of their bark and trimmed back. A year later, the tree's bark grows back completely and the process starts all over again.
Thickness (aka GSM)
When it comes to thickness, GSM is a term you will commonly hear in relation to mulberry paper cardstock. GSM is a paper industry term that stands for Grams per Square Meter. Generally speaking, the higher the GSM, the thicker the mulberry paper will be. Handmade paper and Milled paper that have the same GSM weight will have a different thickness because handmade paper has more "bulk" or texture, whereas milled paper is pressed and dense.
- Light Weight or Tissue Paper. This paper is anywhere from 30-70gsm in weight. This is an industry standard weight paper and is NOT ideal for making torn critters. This paper is generally used for card making.
- Medium Weight: This paper is generally 70-90gms. This is an industry standard gsm weight for mulberry paper. It's great for cards and backgrounds, but not ideal for making torn critters.
- Premium Weight: This paper is another industry standard paper and is usually 90-110gms in thickness. This paper is readily passed often refered to as "thick" paper many suppliers. It is wonderful for tearing, but you will need to create multiple layers in order to achieve good results for dimension and fluff.
- *Heavy Weight: AKA as "Extra Thick". This IS the paper that you want to use for creating your torn critters. The thickness of this paper is at least 150-165gsm. You can get away with only using one layer when making your critters, but I personally like to use 2 or more layer for extra thickness and dimension. We will cover layering in another chapter.
Textures of Mulberry Paper:
Now that we have covered the general thicknesses of mulberry paper, let us talk texture. Basically, there are 2 different textures when it comes to mulberry paper. You may use any texture you want depending on the look you wish to achieve
- Smooth: Flat on both front and back sides. This texture does not fluff too well.
- *Textured: This type of paper is "lumpy" on the front side and smooth and deckled on the back side. This is ideal for making torn critters.
Production of Mulberry Paper:
Lastly, Mulberry paper is produced using 2 different methods.
- Machine or Milled Paper: This paper is made using classic paper milling machines. Although the same raw materials are used in creating this paper, this paper is denser and more uniform because of the drying and pressing process.
- *Handmade Mulberry Paper: Perfect for creating soft and fluffy torn critters. This paper is made by traditional techniques using a bamboo deckled mold. Once the bark is collected from the Saa tree, it is soaked and boiled in water to clean and break up the fibers. The fibers are then churned to create a soft pulp which is then bleached or died to a specific color. The pulp is then poured into the mold. The amount and thickness of the pulp will define the thickness and texture of the mulberry paper. They are then lowered into a vat of water to smooth out the pulp. Once smoothed, they are slowly lifted from the water and then tapped to remove any excess water. Finally, the molds are placed in the sun to dry. After the paper has dried, it is removed from the mold leaving a characteristic deckled edge behind.
Now that I've bored you with some details about mulberry paper, I bet you are waiting to get to the fun stuff. Knowledge is power, so at your when you are attending your next crop and someone asks you what you are doing, you'll be armed with lots of information.

Artist's description:
I like the idea of 'bathing' under the light of the full moon, a softer reflection of the sun. I did a series of paintings with this theme. The sultry colors of purple and ochre warm the scene. The features and forms of the figure are minimal. I look for the essential description of line moving away from the individual to the universal. The painting is signed on the back and ready to hang. It comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Materials used:
oil paint on 12 oz. cotton duct canvas stretched over a 1.5"x 2" wooden frame, acrylic base primer

Meet Our Advertisers: Christopher Taylor, MPT of PHYSIO Physical Therapy and Wellness Asheville
Christopher Taylor, Physical Therapist, was born and raised in West Virginia and earned his Undergraduate and Master's Degree in Physical Therapy at West Virginia University. While completing his Masters Degree he also became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).
During the first five years of his career, Chris worked in large outpatient orthopedic practices in Maryland. His desire for more knowledge led him to become a traveling physical therapist, and he spent the next four and a half years traveling the country to places in need. He learned a number of great techniques from physicians and therapists around the country and was able to further immerse himself in his passion of helping people overcome injury and pain. Chris combined his wealth of experience and unique knowledge to open his own practice, Physio Physical Therapy and Wellness in North Asheville in January, 2013.
Chris incorporates his love for knowledge and his optimism for getting people better in his practice, pursues extensive continuing education, and has achieved multiple certifications along the way. These include being one of two providers in the Asheville area certified in ASTYM – a soft tissue technique Chris and his patients find very successful, and being a Certified Laser Therapy Provider, a cold laser therapy which effectively reduces pain and increases healing using photons. Laser therapy is a new and revolutionary treatment option which few providers in the area are aware of, let alone certified in. It is scientifically proven to dramatically decrease pain associated with arthritis, back and muscle pain, bursitis/tendonitis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, fractures, heel and foot pain, shoulder pain, migraines and TMJ. Chris works well with all ages and specializes in headache relief, neck and back pain, and is very successful with treating soft tissue injuries, even for those who have tried other treatments in the past and failed!
Chris was tested mentally and physically in 2010 when he ran (and finished) the Honolulu marathon and soon after ruptured his Achilles tendon, not once, but twice in the same year while training for his next marathon. His injuries led Chris to understand even more about physical therapy after experiencing the programs as a provider and patient.

Each actor, one at a time, will go into our studio to work on camera with Seth on pre-selected sides and be supported by one of our outstanding readers. The rest of the class will get to watch and listen on a television monitor in the main room. Each actor's work will be emailed to them in the form of a High Definition Quicktime Movie after the class to review as they wish.
