I have ordered three items from Phix Clothing and every time they have arrived on time and as they looked on the site. The customer service was very good when I ordered a wrong sized coat: they replied to my e-mail quickly and sent out the replacement item the same day as they received the returned one. All in all, a very good shopping experience and I would recommend them to anyone.

Institute for Politics and Public Life holds a student panel discussion about the Constitution
Discussion today is led by founding director and political consultant Michael Ford and Xavier professor Mack Mariani | September 14, 2009
Xavier's Institute for Politics and Public Life is hosting a panel discussion led by institute director and political consultant Michael Ford, who is focusing on issues related to the Constitution including the challenges in getting it ratified, its relevance in the 21st century and whether it would still be passed today.
Ford and Mack Mariani, assistant professor of political science, are moderating the student panel discussion, which marks Constitution Day and takes place on Thursday, Sept. 17, at 4:00 p.m. at the Gallagher Student Center. The event is free and open to the public.
Mike Ford has had a 38-year career in politics, government and business at all levels of American public life. He has held senior staff and advisory positions in nine presidential campaigns. A 1970 graduate of Xavier, he holds a master's degree in government from Georgetown University and was a graduate fellow at the Pennsylvania State University School of Public Administration. He was named the founding director of the nonpartisan Institute for Politics and Public Life when it was established at Xavier in October 2008.
The mission of the institute is to contribute to an informed understanding of the global community, evolving technology and a clear vision of civic duty. It provides Xavier students with the knowledge and leadership tools to contribute to all levels of public life. The Institute also acts as a place to research crucial matters of public policy and governance and disseminate findings to the public. It is being created as a "home" for the kind of activities that blend together coursework and outside activities such as internships, survey research and advanced study on the role of the Internet.
Mack Mariani has been assistant professor of political science at Xavier since 2007. His teaching and research interests include campaigns and elections, congress and the legislative process, women and politics, and political internships and experiential learning. Mariani is co-author of Diverging Parties and co-editor of the Insider's Guide to Political Internships. His research has appeared in Legislative Studies Quarterly, Political Science Quarterly, PS: Political Science and Politics, Politics and Gender, Comparative State Politics and the Journal of Terrorism and Political Violence.

Record producer and songwriter Waterman will help present the concert in London's Hyde Park which will star Kylie Minogue, Steps, Rick Astley and Bananarama.
Waterman and Strachan fronted their own late-night ITV dance music show Hitman And Her from a series of nightclubs. Strachan has gone on to present the BBC's Springwatch programmes.
They will appear together again at the Hit Factory Live event on July 11. It will see another eagerly awaited reunion when Minogue performs with Jason Donovan to revive their chart-topping hit Especially For You.
Other performers include Pepsi & Shirlie, Sinitta, Hazell Dean and Sonia.

Hi John!
Andrea Malhi
John, just wanted you to know my flute arrived safely in Australia today. It is exactly as I pictured it and you should be proud that you can craft such a thing of beauty. The sound quality is perfect and I know I am going to enjoy learning to play, I feel like I am making music already and all I have done is practice scales! Thank you so much.
Kartar Benson
Hey John, I got your flute on Thursday and there is only one problem. I may not play my other flutes much at all. love your flute.
Tom Burton
Hello again!
Jon Holland
John thx for the Flute - you cant imagine how joyously happy I was to receive it. I am not often so nowadays :) This was a Cherry and Santos Mahogany flute. I loved that it was delivered so unexpectedly quickly and that it was in a hand written addressed box.
I just received the flute on Friday! I gave it to my boyfriend as a birthday gift and he LOVES it! This flute does not even compare to his old one from Arizona. The sound is amazing and so is the craftsmanship. It was a pleasure doing business with you!
Hello John, today I went to get the flute to my mailbox, I am very pleased and grateful for such a fabulous flute, since I have it in my hands I'm playing with it is fabulous in every way, I'm very happy of this beautiful flute of Love to fill my home and my family. Thank you very much again for this wonderful work of art that I have in my hands.
Ken Pettijohn
I just wanted to let you know the flute arrived safe and sound. It is everything I hoped for and more. After months of visiting your site every day pondering, wishing, and drooling, I'm glad I finally took the plunge. I hope to dramatically improve my playing skills in order to do it justice. I am honored to own it.
Bob Wilson
John, both you and Ancient Territories are the greatest.... my flute arrived today and is beautiful and very fast shipping. I researched many flute sites before deciding on yours and I'm now convinced my decision was the correct one.... all I need to do now is call you to order a felt case since I forgot to order one with my Flute.
Terri Burford
Hi John,
Hi John,
Julio Peña
Hi John!!!! My E Bubinga flute arrive yesterday!!!!! I´m really impressed with it, its sound, the wood, the construction... I´m playing it carefully, because is new, a new climate for her. The sound really is complex, cristal, profound, sonoric, I see I have to learn slowly, step by step a lot of possibilities she offers. I want to thank you for this wonderful, sure now is a new member of my family, yesteray with my wife we were enjoying she. Ok, now you know that from here, at the "heart" of South América, there is a beautiful sound singing from your hands. Thanks, blessings to you!!!!!

She really is special and reflects that kind and gentle side of you...thank you again and I truly feel honored... Her voice is more than magnificent because of all the complex layers involved... Much light to you gentle spirit... Kim
Roslyn Bohanan
The new flute arrived today. It is more beautiful then the picture could show. The tone is amazing. I played for friends and their words were smooth and flowing. It made me realize just how bad my old flea market flute was. I love my new flute. Thank you so much.
I Love My Flute
John, Thank you so much for helping me make a great flute selection. It arrived earlier this week just as you said it would, and words cannot express how much I am enjoying this wonderful instrument. It feels so good in my hands, that even when I am done playing, I can't stop holding and looking at it. The clarity of the notes are so bright and true. I was able to initially play a chromatic scale, hitting each and every note clearly. I can really appreciate the craftsmanship and care you put into each and every flute ~ from the selection of the wood, through all of the steps to produce such and exquisite, final quality product that is not only beautiful to look at, but FUN to play. My sister is enjoying her F# flute as well and we refer to you as the flute doctor as your instruments have restored a sense of balance and harmony to our lives. We jokingly say to each other, "Blow two notes and call me in the morning!" for anything that ails you. Now that's an excellent prescription. Sincerely, Mri L
P.S. The brochure was a wealth of information. Thank you again. I will be back for more!
Came very late last night. Have played it for about 30 minutes today. This is physically a beautiful flute, but more important it's easy to play and sounds tremendous. This was a replacement for my first flute, a popular, commercially made flute that I though sounded nice but almost turned me off because of its narrow abilities. Granted I'm a little better now, but after playing your flute I can see that many of my early challenges were not mine, but the flutes. Bottom line is I can't tell you how pleased I am with your flute. If I was still stuck in the 60's I would say far freakin' out, but I will leave it with a comment my 14 year old niece made - awesome!
Hi John. My flute arrived yesterday, and boy, what can I say. The universe has answered and brought me my medicine. A stunning piece of workmanship. I can clearly see how much pride and love goes into crafting these beautiful instruments. The colours and tonal qualities are out of this world. I look forward to many wonderful moments with my flute and I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for not only coming into my life at this time, but also for the joy and happiness you are bringing all those who come your way. I look forward to keeping in touch with you. I would truly love to be able to meet you and shake your hand.
Yours Respectfully, Simon
Chad Robinson
I received my flute today and it is absolutely beautiful! It is so far from what I expected, and even as a beginner, I am already producing wonderful sounds from this flute. I have longed for the ability to play one of these as I think the music is just so peaceful and comforting. Your craftsmanship is amazing and I am thoroughly pleased with this gorgeous flute!
Bill Linsenmayer
I received my custom made flute from you today and would like to say it has spectacular looks, great craftsmanship and excellent tone. I believe these are the core of your flutes. I've honestly loved the way this instrument shows just as much as the way it plays. It's awesome-looking, awesome-sounding, and holds the type of perfection in craftsmanship I've learned to expect from a John Stillwell flute. Anyone will probably get a bit spoiled after owning one of your flutes.
Jeff Tebo
Steven Simkins
Dear Mr. Stillwell,
I just wanted to write and let you know that I received my flute from you today. WOW....it is truly amazing. Even for what you may consider the low end flute, it is more then I imagined. I played it for an hour to slowly welcome it to our home, and the sound is.....soothing, wonderful, uplifting, meditative, outstanding. What words I use just don't seem to capture the beauty. I just wanted to thank you and say your work far surpassed my expectations. Why I have waited so long to pursue this music I love so much, I don't know. But I have begun!!!
Thank you.
Alessandro from Italy
Hi John,
This morning I got the flute!
I have to tell that it's one of the most beautiful flutes I've ever seen, but the thing that amazed me more is the sound quality, simply awesome.
I play NAFs from 8 years now, but living in Italy is always difficult to know the sound quality of the flutes you see on the web and which makers are the best. To buy a musical instrument from internet, without can play it it's always a risk. In these years I bought quite good flutes but also mediocre flutes, but at least now it seems I've found the maker right for me.
I hope to be able to buy other flutes soon, and I look forward to see more flutes in your website.
Thanks for allowing me to buy this work of art.
Quentin from France
work and craft. she's very beautiful and sound very powerful. it's a
real pleasure to play with it, sweet and easy.
thanks again for your work Mr Stillwell.
Aaron Sadler
Thanks again,
Robert Mullinax
Hitoshi Iso from Japan
Hi John, I just received flutes and CD now. The flute tone is
Kristine Thompson
The Flute arrived a couple of hours ago - safe and sound. And what sound! It's really beautiful and I am very very happy with it. I am really surprised at what a difference it makes to have the finger board flattened instead of the usual round flute design. It is much easier and more comfortable to finger than my other flutes. I can soar with it, effortlessly. The tuning is excellent. Back pressure is perfect. The best way for me to describe it is that I feel blessed by it.
Thank you so very much.
Joe Abrams
Dear John, I can't tell you how much I appreciate all you have done, and all the work that goes into making a flute. I visit your web site often and listen to some of the albums and I read it front to back over and over agin trying to gain some insight into playing the flute. With every passing moment of everyday I find the flute magical and what a stress reliever it is. Thanks Again for a GREAT JOB WELL DONE!
Katrina Karlsen
HiJohn, the flute arrived today, thank you so much for helping me realize my dream of three years, it is the most beautiful piece of artwork I have ever purchased! I can't wait to break it in thanks for all you've done and for this wonderful creation.
Shahar Zehavi from Israel
I wanted to thank you for your wonderful flutes, I have been playing them ever since they arrived, the sound is beautiful and so are the flutes. Thank you very much.
Jennifer Brown
Just a quickie to let you know I received my flute yesterday (just in time for the weekend)! It is beautiful and appears just as it did in the photo that you advertise on your site. In this day of rip-offs and false advertisement it was a most pleasant experience to receive just what I ordered! Thanks and I appreciate you.
Pablo Barragan
Hello John, flute made me very happy, it was exactly what I wanted, I work on healing with sacred plants of India, in the sessions we played different instruments, and the flute is going great, it's a beautiful sound, that takes you deep very nice places, makes me play the flute very well, I'm sure I chose the best place to buy my first flute, just recently I was reading your page and I like the bond you have with the instrument, thank you very much for everything, we are contact, I hope you're well, a hug.
Mike Oitzman
"John's craftsmanship is incredible. Everytime I play my Stillwell flute in public, folks have to come up to look closely at the construction of the instrument. Folks are always amazed to see the detail. The unique design of this flute is very comfortable in your hands, making it a joy to play."
Susan Schuster
"John Stillwell's flutes are among the most sweetly voiced and beautifully made flutes that I have played. They are uniquely designed and artfully crafted - each one is a joy to play.
Rick Eller
"I received the flute you sent me yesterday afternoon. I cannot believe the difference in not only the appearance and feel, but the sound quality of this flute! It is so awesome! The flute is so responsive, the tone is strong and clear,it makes my other one look, feel, and sound like a toy! I kept breaking out into a smile when I was playing it and my kids were watching and grinning "Daddy's happy!" I am. The stretch on the E took a few seconds to work out and I'll occasionally duff the fundamental, but I should have it down cold soon.Thank you so much for your professionalism in the business transaction and your craftsmanship in the construction of the flute (and the special bird, it looks great!). I am just beside myself with joy! You have definitely got my business when I order my next flute (which will probably be soon, they are so addicting!)"
p.s. The song that I wanted to play along with is "Sun" from Burning Sky's album "Creation". The flute you made was in perfect pitch!
Mary Youngblood
"I just received the flute and it's beautiful!!!!!! I loved all the cool and unique features on it, and it seems to be wonderfully in pitch... Thank you SO much! And I'm glad Vince showed me your flute! What I would appreciate, is a stack of business cards. I let my students try flutes and then they take cards and order flutes from makers whose flutes they have played in my music room. Thank you again for your gift of song!!"
Dan Trail
"I've been enjoying playing the flute I got from you, really enjoying it's tone and note bending capabilities. I have yet to wet the flute out, so I must conclude that your wet out prevention system works. ... Well, here is the $100 that I owe you to pay off my flute. Thanks for cutting me a good deal. I will be sure to show it off, especially since it's such an eye catcher. "
Nancy Leventhal
"I Like the full-bodies tonal qualityof my John Stillwell flute. It is finely crafted and easy to play. The turtle fetish and turquise bead is both simple and elegant. I appreciate the time John spent in helping me get use dto my new flute and his availabiliy when I had questions to ask."
Scott Schaefer
"John's flutes are as gorgeous in sound quality as they are beautiful to look at. His innovative flute style and artistic craftsmanship, makes John's flutes a must have in any serious flute players collection. As a performing artist, I am very selective about the flutes I own. I must be able to trust the sound that comes out of them. The beauty of John's flutes is what attracted me to them, but more importantly, the sound quality is what hooked me on his flutes. I own three and look forward to having many more in my collection."
Benny Mullinax
"I was lucky to win one of John's flutes on ebay. I bid on it just because of what he said on one of the listserv I belong to and seeing pictures of flute on ebay. When it arrived I was in awe, not only did it sound beautiful it looked awesome also. Very unique design, triangular type bore with vee cut inlays. The finish on it is unbelievably shiny, it literally shines and is almost translucent. I would recommend his flutes to anyone. They are of the highest quality and backed by his personal guarantee. Thanks John for creating such I flute that I treasure."
Diane Anthony
"I recently added a flute of John Stillwell's to my collection. Not only is the combination of woods a feast for the eyes, but the tone of this F# minor flute is amazing. It can be played loudly or quietly; it is easy to find the half steps; and the tuning is impeccable. The sound is both resonant and brilliant and has inspired my playing to a new level. When I choose a flute to take with me, I readily reach for John's flute. Thank you. I'm just about ready for another!"
Mike Turner
"The flute arrived safely this morning! WOW.. Your work is beyond words! Truly beautiful and the engineering you have put into is incredible. This is definitely not your average flute. I have about 35 or so flutes and I have some nice ones that makers have put alot of energy and effort into but this one is in a class by itself. I lost count cause I do gift some from time to time to help someone go on their flute journey. The different woods compliment each other and are definitely put together like a fine piece of furniture. And the voice...It is right on too! Very good voice........one that you can bear down on if you want to and one that will whisper if you need to !. And I have only explored this incredible instrument for a little bit !!
John - I was so excited that I was going to call you over the weekend, but didn't want to bother you. I got a call from my brother early Saturday morning. He had received the flute at work on Friday. You were right. He was so excited he could hardly talk. You really chose a fantastic flute for him. He just couldn't stop talking about how beautiful it was John. He has an art studio at home with good acoustics and told me he played it late Friday night. He really commented on the turquoise stone that was on it. Just a touch that he really admired that made it special. I can't thank you enough for choosing the right flute for him. I will be ordering again next year if not sooner. You truly did a great job John. Thank you for all you did for me. Thanks!
Dear John,
Hi John,
Paul Horrell
I recently ordered one of your Backpacker flutes and received it yesterday.
Tim Kinsey
I received my flute on Saturday which happened to be my 46th birthday. I'm very pleased. It's beautiful and sounds great! I was making music in just a few minutes...not great music (yet), but it will come with practice.
Bel Canto Maria Concetta.
I received my flute today, Key of A... and I would like to say that you undersell our masterpieces! It is not only beautiful, but the craftsmanship is outstanding. I was immediately taken back by the wood finish, and the beauty ( not to mention the fact that it plays as beautiful as it looks ) The flatness on the top is so well designed for my fingers. You are a genius ! Actually I'm purchasing an other one just like it as a gift to someone special. Keep the beauty in your work... as it is a reflection of your soul!
I just wanted to pass on my gratitude for making this purchase a pleasant one. I knew that I had chosen the right artist to buy from when I first visited your website.
Steve Ruiz
Hey John it feels like I was driving a beat up volkswagen and got into a brand new BMW the flute is so wonderful.
Wow! Thanks John. I have a beautiful handmade flute now. It is proving to be too big for my small hand. I was grateful on your web for the advice to get the A key. Your web was very helpful. I am in my almost middle 70's. The flute playing keeps my brain working. I have found great improvement in my memory - especially bringing up names since I started playing 1-2 hours a day. Good thing I enjoy it. I will look forward to receiving the flute. Are you from Maine? I stipulated flutes in Maine but you came up first! You are right about the hand made flutes.

Can't run gui applications as root
This one has me stumped. I am on SuSE 9.0 Pro w/ KDE Everything works fine as root and as a user. The problems happen when I am logged on as a user and su - to root from the terminal and try to run a gui-application from the command line. Each app gives me a different error, but they all relate to "not able to open display" How can I run a gui-app as root when logged in as a user?
Very easy :) :D
You need to tell your "normal user" XServer to allow connections from other users, which usually is not the case.
One possible way is to tell from a console, logged in as normal user this:
xhost + localhost
Then when you make su - in a terminal/console, type in this:
export DISPLAY=:0.0
Now you can run your GUI-application as root.
Kind regards,
Actually, I had it working before by running:
xhost +
instead of:
xhost + localhost
Just so you know, "xhost +" removes all security restrictions for who can create windows on your desktop, while "xhost + localhost" supposedly allows anyone from the same computer to create windows on your desktop, according to "man xhost".
With my old setup of "xhost +", it was working but giving error messages only when root ran GUI applications. Now, on your suggestion, I added localhost and it gives error messages and doesn't even run the application. The error messages I got when trying to run Konqueror was:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
konqueror: cannot connect to X server :0.0
Are you sure (all) you're supposed to do is run "xhost + localhost" as the normal user and set DISPLAY=:0.0 for root?
Try without the space between the + and the localhost
Using "xhost +" is BAD practice.
Ideally you'd try to avoid using it at all, and use local
ssh with X forwarding instead.
ssh -X root@localhost "konqueror"
Try with an
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
(or, it you happened to use (t)csh for some
strange reason)
setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0
konqueror: cannot connect to X server localhost:0.0
By the way, Tinkster, I just tried your ssh suggestion and it gave the following error message:
ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused
I don't know if that has anything to do with anything.
(Did you notice how error messages in Linux are often meant to be understood only by the person who wrote them? :) )
connection refused can mean that
a) sshd isn't running
b) sshd is configured to deny logins from root
c) localhost is not in /etc/hosts
d) a firewall isn't set-up correctly
Yeah, it's a). My /etc/hosts does have localhost set up correctly.
Here's something to think about: why do I have to check which of the 4 alternatives is the case? Why can't the program tell me?
People usually think of user-friendliness as meaning an intuitively designed graphical user interface. But specific error messages are a very important part of a user-friendly program too, and they're a part that's usually ignored.
Because (in this particular case) the program is
designed to be run against remote machines,
and it's in the nature of that that it can't determine
the reason for the failure to connect ;}
Actually, yeah, I see what you mean for this case. I think it still could have a special case for when you're trying to connect to this computer - it could do some extra checks to see what's wrong. But then the program would be getting TOO smart I suppose. :)
Still, how about if it had a nice error message like this:
ssh: could not connect to port 22 of the computer "localhost" because "localhost" wouldn't let me. This may have a variety of causes but is probably the fault of "localhost".
Too chubby ... maybe with side-effects like in
windows ;)
P.S.: If you make a program idiot-proof only
idiots will use it ;0
I discovered a way to make it work; instead of:
xhost +localhost
I ran:
xhost +local:
See "man xhost" for more on this.
Could this in fact be the correct way to enable root to run windows on your GUI?
ssh would be the safest easy way.
If the machine is multiuser people could
play tricks on you by opening stuff in
your session if you have xhost +local
(or localhost, for that matter) enabled.
I have seen scripts (run by root) that
modify the targets .Xauthority file, which
will give root the right to open X apps
in the target users session.
xhost really is a kludge.

In the last two issues I've detailed how to slug handgun barrels so lead alloy bullets of the proper size will be used in them. However, that's just one of the factors involved in handgun accuracy — especially revolver accuracy.
Revolver cylinders add about another five to eight dimensions to the mix, depending on how many chambers are there and how uniform they are. Long ago I learned just matching a lead alloy bullet to a revolver barrel's groove diameter did not insure it would be delivered to the target with precision. For instance, I slugged the barrel of a 1960s vintage Colt SAA .45 right at its nominal .451″. Therefore, I loaded my .45 cast bullets to .451″ and got disappointing groups.
For many years, I just blamed it on the .45 Colt as being a cartridge of inherently poor accuracy. That was nonsense. Finally I figured out the problem was Colt .45s of that vintage (and today) have notoriously large chamber mouths. I just took a break from this keyboard and measured all six chamber mouths of my 1967 vintage Colt SAA .45. — they were all .456″.
If you start a relatively hard .451″ bullet out in a .456″ chamber mouth it's going to get slammed into the barrel's forcing cone cocked off its axis. My solution has been twofold. If .45 Colt bullets must be hard (Brinell hardness number 12 or above) then I size them .454″. Conversely, if they can be soft, say of 1-20 tin to lead alloy (BHN of 10) and used at speeds under 1,000 fps, then they can be sized .452″. The pressure of powder ignition will cause softer bullets to obturate or fill the chamber mouths.

A man in a ski mask robbed a bank branch at Niles grocery store Sunday.
The man, believed to be in his 20s, wore a hooded sweatshirt and a dark ski mask as he robbed the TCF Bank branch at 5667 W. Touhy in Niles, according to the FBI. The TCF branch is in a Jewel-Osco store.
No weapon was shown in the robbery, but apparently a note was shown to a teller.
The robber was described as white, between 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-8, and in his 20s.
There have been at least 32 bank robberies in the Chicago area so far this year, according to the FBI. In 2011 there were 115 bank robberies in the Chicago metropolitan area.

Long Beach and Paramount unified school districts will participate today in a meeting of a multi-agency partnership that aims to promote effective environmental health measures in schools.
Members of the partnership will discuss procedures such as how to address environmental concerns as well as ways to prevent them from becoming a problem, such as those pertaining to indoor air quality.
"What we're trying to do is really foster a spirit of cooperation and transparency amongst the regulatory agencies and (the public)," said Thomas Cota, branch chief of the School Property Evaluation and Cleanup Division of the Department of Toxic Substances Control.
The Southern California Clean, Green and Healthy Schools Partnership includes representatives from the two local school districts as well as regulatory agencies, environmental groups, districts and community members. The partnership first met in January.
The Department of Toxic Substances Control and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency launched the partnership because they said too many people didn't know where to go when dealing with school-related environmental health concerns. At the first meeting it was decided that those issues can now be addressed by the department and it will reroute the concerns to the appropriate regulatory agency, such as the California Air Resources Board or the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board.
"I think it will help if we're all on the same page," said Susan Ahn, a project manager in Long Beach Unified's Facilities Development and Planning Department.
The participants also worked at their January meeting to devise ways to foster collaboration between regulatory agencies, schools and the public when environmental concerns arise.
"There was a brainstorming session on how to communicate better between all of the stakeholders," Ahn said.
Today's discussion of healthy school initiatives, including air quality, will be of particular interest to the Long Beach Unified officials as the issue is of particular concern to children in West Long Beach, where asthma rates are high and the Port of Long Beach is located.
"If they are concerned about a particular school and have some health concerns about a facility in their neighborhood, they could bring it to this partnership," Cota said.
Lisa McCarthy, a parent at Mark Twain Elementary School who spearheads environmental sustainability efforts at the school via its Green Team, applauded the creation of the partnership.
"I think it's just another step in a very needed direction," McCarthy said. "Parents and teachers in public schools often feel like they're on their own when dealing with environmental issues."
In early February, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson nominated Twain Elementary and the Lowell Elementary in Long Beach for the U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools recognition program, in part, because of its efforts to reduce waste and recycle. McCarthy said the partnership makes her feel supported and sends a great message to the public.
"The fact is these agencies are not only listening, they're setting up a program for assistance," she said.
After six months, the Department of Toxic Substances Control will determine if the partnership should be continued.
The partnership will meet today at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency offices in Los Angeles.
For more information or to report an environmental concern, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Injecting your own style sheet into another web page
I am working on a project (a Firefox extension if it matters), which basically highlights words on the page that a user enters via a text box. To do this, I need to apply an outside style sheet to the page, or insert my style sheet directly into the existing website.
The two things that I have tried so far:
First, I tried this:
var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]; var styleString = "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"highlight.css\" type=\"text/css\"/>"; head.innerHTML = head.innerHTML + styleString;
After that, I tried to inject the style rules directly into the browser like this:
var CSS = " .tools { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 100%; text-align: center; padding-bottom: 20px; border-bottom: 4px solid; } ... Insert the rest of the really long style sheet here ... "; document.styleSheets[0].insertRule(CSS,0);
Any idea on this would be much appreciated! Thanks

I don't think what you propose is possible (Thank Heavens! )
For security reasons JavaScript cannot access anything beyond the domain of the current page. This is known as the "same origin policy" and prevents a document or script loaded from one origin from getting or setting properties of a document from a different origin.

i have had trouble adding external stylesheets like this before.
i doubt messing with head's innerHTML will trigger re-calc of the style rules.
you could try building the link tag programatically ala document.createElement("link"),
but i have had trouble doing that as well.
i use my own tested approach in situations like the one you outline.
try using the two functions below.
the first one loads a file into a string.
the second one turns a string into a new stylesheet.
function IO(U, V) { //LA MOD String Version. A tiny ajax library. 2007, DanDavis var X = !window.XMLHttpRequest ? new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP') : new XMLHttpRequest(); X.open(V ? 'PUT' : 'GET', U, !1); X.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html') X.send(V ? V : ''); return X.responseText;} function aCSS(iCSS) {var vi = "adds a css tyle section to the document, filled with text like an external stylesheet";var D = document;var h = D.getElementsByTagName("head");if (!h[0]) {return;}var ns = document.createElement("style");ns.type = "text/css";h[0].appendChild(ns);try {if (ns.styleSheet && ns.styleSheet.cssText) {ns.styleSheet.cssText = iCSS;return;}ns.innerHTML = iCSS;} catch (e3) {try {ns.appendChild(document.createTextNode(iCSS));} catch (e3) {}}} // example aCSS(" body * {color: red}")
for your purpose,
note that to inject script into arbitrary pages,
you must meet at least one of the following requirements:
-run the code from the address bar (all browsers)
-run inside an extention (firefox, opera, and in a complicated manner, IE)
-run from a javascript console or utility like firebug. (firefox, opera)
-run using grease monkey (firefox)

In response to the comments made by Insp Rimmer on page five of last week's Standard I couldn't agree more.
After parking for the first time in the newly-refurbished market square in Boston this evening I came back to my car to find an officer issuing me with a ticket. I was so surprised as I had displayed the correct ticket and when I asked what I had done wrong, I was rudely told I should be aware of where I could or couldn't park.
I was still confused as I was parked in a line with other vehicles which I genuinely thought to be an authorised place.
This will be one of the last times I park in the town centre, especially as on this occasion I had only parked for 10 minutes to drop off books at the British Heart Foundation charity shop for my boss.
No wonder Boston is a town struggling to survive. With a parking system so confusing shoppers will stay away and instead visit towns that have a much fairer and less confusing parking policy.

Aidan O'Brien will not say it, but somebody should – Fame And Glory has an outstanding chance of giving his trainer a third Derby success on Saturday. O'Brien's obfuscations and two major gambles on his stablemates should not distract punters from the fact that the colt's credentials are excellent and 3-1 is a very fair price.
The Ballydoyle trainer's record in this race is surprisingly modest, his last 26 runners having suffered defeat, something noted by Clare Balding at Thursday's 'Breakfast with the Stars' press conference. That may have been the presenter's revenge for the trainer's slipperiness in response to her questions about the pecking order among his nine entrants.
The trainer said yesterday that he plans to send six of those to Epsom, with Freemantle the highest-profile of the three who will go elsewhere. Six is quite a restrained raiding party for O'Brien – he ran eight in the 2007 Derby, but only one made the first four places.
But when O'Brien has had a horse good enough to win the Ballysax Stakes and the Derrinstown Derby Trial, punters should sit up and take notice. Fame And Glory is the fourth horse to achieve that early-season double. The first two, Galileo and High Chaparral, followed up at Epsom, while the third, Yeats, missed out through injury.
Some pundits have cavilled at the achievements of Fame And Glory (3.45), pointing out that he beat the same horses in both races, but that is to underestimate him. When he won the Ballysax, O'Brien was right out of form – not only was he struggling for winners, but that situation persisted for the next fortnight. Nearly all his horses seem to have improved for their first outing, as Fame And Glory did when hacking up by a greatly increased margin on his next start.
There was little doubt at that time that Johnny Murtagh would ride him at Epsom, but that expectation has been undermined by serious betting plunges on two others from the yard, Rip Van Winkle and Masterofthehorse.
It seems that positive signals have been emanating from Ballydoyle about several members of the Derby team, but we need to remember the business that built the Coolmore bloodstock empire behind this stable. It is O'Brien's job to produce future stallions whose services will be worth five or six figures for every mating – no wonder he refuses to undermine the others by nominating a favourite, and no wonder that rumours are circulated about how good some of the others may be.
Rip Van Winkle is a lousy price at 6-1 in light of serious doubts about his stamina and it is 10 months since he got his head in front.
Masterofthehorse, meanwhile, has been beaten on all three starts at Group level. Black Bear Island, the Dante winner and a full-brother to High Chaparral, is a much more potent threat, while yet another of O'Brien's string, Age Of Aquarius, is a good each-way price at 25-1, having been beaten less than two lengths by Fame And Glory last year, when the heavy going was against him.
Sea The Stars seems an above-average Guineas winner who could be exceptional. But he will need to be if he is to combine his known speed with enough stamina and the odds against that are a lot bigger than the current 7-2.
Jim Bolger's Gan Amhras is a greater threat to O'Brien's mob, but there is a suspicion that he was hard-fit for the Guineas, in which he came third, and may have limited scope to improve.
If the Derby is more straightforward than some would have you believe, Friday's Oaks looks more complex, thanks to Rainbow View. When she flopped in the Guineas, many felt the tiny filly had failed to progress from her juvenile year, but another interpretation is that she now needs a longer trip, and there is certainly stamina in her pedigree.
Still, even if she can return to her peak, she may find herself swept aside by Michael Bell's Sariska (4.05), who looked a major talent in the Musidora.
Like Fame And Glory, Sariska is likely to start favourite. More adventurous punters may be tempted by the 10-1 with Betfair about Eastern Anthem (2.45) in the Coronation Cup. That is a daft price about an improving horse who beat the frustrating Youmzain in Dubai when last seen.

Owners of new General Motors vehicle can soon begin adding their connected cars to AT&T's 4G LTE as a device on a Mobile Share Plan starting this June. Starting for just $10 per month, AT&T and GM customers can add their GM vehicles to their existing data bucks. For GM car owners who do not currently subscribe to AT&T, other data packages are also available for the new OnStar 4G LTE plan.
Starting in June, Chevrolet owners can add their Malibu to the OnStar 4G LTE plan. After a trial period, which is either a 3-month or 3 GB of usage, whichever happens first, users will be able to pay $5 for 250 MB of data that will expire after one day or up to a 100 GB package that lasts for 12 months for $200. GM will offer discounted rates for users who already subscribe to OnStar.
By the end of the year, GM promises that AT&T's connectivity will come to thirty more cars from brands like Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC.
The nice part is that if you're an existing AT&T subscriber, you can just add your car to your existing plan for just $10 a month if you're on one of AT&T's Mobile Share Plan. This makes it more affordable and you would just tap your existing mobile data connection. This means your car will be another data device that joins your iPad tablet or your Galaxy smart camera.
"The industry's broadest deployment of 4G LTE connectivity technology will enable owners of these vehicles to explore new features like a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot capable of pairing up to seven devices, as well as [improved access]((http://www.imore.com/chevys-appshop-skips-smartphone-vehicle-apps-ceslive) to existing OnStar safety and security services," GM said in a press release.
In addtion to GM, Audi is also partnering with AT&T for the A3 sedan.

I spend many based out of my truck/office and this will be handy!
I feel like there will be a lot more accidents now....
I can understand adding data to a car to an extent. Because we have so many devices that use data now, it would be great to have a way to use that data for family trips or emergency downloads, etc. However, at some point, we need to be able to disconnect and a car should be one of those places. There are plenty of ways to stay entertained in a car besides checking Facebook or Instagram.
This is cool. But what about having an option to connect via hotspot? Not all GM customers have ATT nor would want to fork over any money to them.
Posted via Connectedly App
Sounds a bit steep for such a small data allowance, don't you think?
Can we bring our own SIM card and connect to anyone we want =P I could see T-Mobile or Sprint banking on this and allowing you to bring in any device you want with a SIM card(be it car, truck, smart watch, etc). Instead of a "tablet" plan they will now have a "device" plan that works with anything.
That's pretty cool but it costs you more bucks. You can just share your phone's data plan, right?

A Long Island nursing home faces a lawsuit after hiring strippers to entertain its residents.
The New York Post reports that East Neck Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center in West Babylon is being sued by 85-year-old Bernice Youngblood's family after her son, Franklin, discovered a picture of her shoving crumpled up singles into a dancer's underwear in January. Though Youngblood and fellow residents displayed what the Post described as a mixture of "shock and delight" in the pictures, Youngblood's family was furious, the lawsuit states:
Plaintiff Bernice Youngblood was placed in apprehension of imminent, offensive, physical harm, as she was confused and bewildered as to why a muscular, almost nude man, was approaching her and placing his body and limbs, over [her]
Furthermore, the suit adds that when Franklin Youngblood approached a nurse about the picture, the employee tried to take it from him. Though a nurse told another resident's sons that the strip show was done in "good faith," the lawsuit claims that East Neck residents were essentially taken advantage of, "for the perverse pleasure and enjoyment of the [staff]":
Bernice Youngblood has lived 85 years as a traditional Baptist, hard-working, lady . . . And now she has been defiled
The crux of the argument is that Youngblood and the other seniors lack both the "mental and physical capacity" to "protect themselves" against that type of entertainment. Whatever the motivation for the motivation for the event, pictures weren't the best idea and perhaps Action Bronson performances are as far as anyone should go in terms of nursing home entertainment.

Robert Lee Bishop, a 78 year old white male with possible dementia, was last seen the evening of June 16, 2016 in Livingston, Montana.
Missoula County Attorney Kirsten Pabst filed charges today, Dec. 28, against Emmanuel Gomez, who is allegedly responsible for the disappearance and death of 26-year-old Charlie Ann Wyrick.
The Missoula Police Department is asking for the community's assistance in locating and verifying the welfare of Missoula resident Charlie Ann Wyrick.
News out of Minnesota that a missing Idaho child was found safe late Sunday night is true, however, the missing child is not Two-year-old DeOrr Kunz Jr. of Lemhi County, who disappeared while camping with his family on July 10.
Brendan Grimestad disappeared on Tuesday, May 5, and his family along with both the Missoula Police Department and the Missoula County Sheriff's Department are busy looking for information about his whereabouts.
Missoula police are searching for the whereabouts of a missing man, Terrance Ryder (also spelled Terrence Rider), 26, who hasn't been seen since April 1.
After nearly a full year, Montana authorities are still trying to figure out what happened to Nicole Waller, the 32 year-old mother of three that disappeared on February 14, 2013.
Update: Damien Tucker has been found just north of Missoula in Arlee. NBC Montana reports that Tucker was found by police around 8:00 p.m., October 31 and is being reunited with his family.
The search for DelRay Saeman, a man who went missing while camping with his wife at Placid Lake on August 23, continued over Labor Day weekend.
The search continues for a man who disappeared after going out on a fishing boat on Placid Lake. The boat was found empty, but the man's whereabouts are still under investigation.
Several search and rescue crews have been combing Placid Lake since about noon Saturday, Aug. 25 looking for DelRay Saeman, 69, of Great Falls, whose boat was found drifting on the lake with no one on board.
Authorities are scaling back the search for a University of Montana student reported missing from a private river trip in Grand Canyon National Park.

'Help our Babies' Hearts' Christmas campaign is a worthy cause
Today the Belfast Telegraph is launching its Christmas campaign to raise money for crucial research that could help save the lives of countless children throughout the world who are suffering from congenital heart disease.
The Help our Babies Hearts' Appeal will assist in funding the Baby Hearts Study, a three-year research project being carried out by the University of Ulster in association with consultant paediatric heart specialists from the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children.
The study will aim to find out why some children are born with heart problems, and also the possible risk factors for developing congenital heart conditions. This study is particularly important locally because congenital heart disease is the most common birth defect in Northern Ireland, where an average of 250 children a year are born with one or more conditions associated with the illness.
The advantage of carrying out the study in Northern Ireland is that the babies will be treated in the one centre, namely the Clark Clinic in the Royal Children's Hospital.
Significantly, however, the advances in combating this illness as a result of the research carried out here will be likely to benefit children from all over the world.
We in the Belfast Telegraph believe that this is a most worthy cause, and our target is to recruit 800 new supporters to donate at least £25 each. This would pay for 110 children across Northern Ireland to take part in the research project. Such a sum would make an important contribution to the overall sum of £172,000 which is needed to fund the research, which is being supported by the Northern Ireland Chest Heart and Stroke charity.
A solution to dealing effectively with congenital heart disease still remains out of reach but this new research in Northern Ireland could hold the key, providing sufficient funds are raised to carry out this work.
Anyone reading our story in today's paper about baby Joe Degnan could not fail to be moved by the experience of this child and his family, and it underlines the need for a breakthrough in dealing with this illness.
As little Joe's mother Kerri says: "You don't want any other baby to go through it. This research is so important."
We commend this appeal to everyone, and this newspaper is putting its weight fully behind a project that could benefit so many children and their families everywhere.

NAGANO, Japan — A day after Jeremy Roenick predicted an Olympic gold medal for the U.S. men's hockey team in this winter tourney, Karyn Bye of the U.S. women's team said Canada is toast in Saturday night's border war.
"The United States will win tomorrow because we're hungry for the win," Bye said of the final game of the round-robin tournament. "We're in better shape, we're in better condition and we're going to come out and put together three strong periods."

Just when you thought American politics couldn't get any more bizarre or sink any lower . . . it did. If the claims can be believed, information thieves have penetrated the walls of accounting giant PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and taken hostages. But it's not like in the movies where victims are gagged and tied to a chair in a shadowy abandoned warehouse. These hostages are housed on flash drives in the form of federal tax returns. And the ransom sought is not $1 million in unmarked bills - the thieves want $1 million in Bitcoins, a hard-to-trace Internet currency.
The Secret Service affirmed that they're investigating a report that thieves had stolen the federal tax return of presidential hopeful Mitt Romney and his wife.
The Romneys' tax accountants, PwC in Nashville, Tennessee, received an anonymous letter accompanied by a flash drive, claiming to have copied the returns and demanding a ransom. A package containing a letter and a thumb drive were also sent to the Romney Tennessee campaign office and a similar package to Democratic headquarters.
Anyone who follows the presidential race knows that Romney's tax returns have been a focus of Democrats. Romney released his 2010 and an estimate of his 2011 return (the latter of which hasn't been finalized and filed yet and is expected to be released on September 28). Some onlookers believe the thieves may have taken on this alleged heist as part of the wave of citizen journalism that has been sweeping the country.
What are the chances the theft is real?
PwC spokesman Chris Atkins told CBS News "at this time there is no evidence that our systems have been compromised or that there was any unauthorized access to the data in question."
Franklin, Tennessee, Police Lt. Charles Warner told reporters there had been no alarms or reported break ins at the accounting firm, and there was no sign of forced entry at the five-story office building. However, the building doesn't have restricted access during the day, and there was no guard present.
Apparently, to prove the "thief" had indeed been inside the then-empty building that supposedly houses Romney's tax records, someone uploaded twelve photos of the PwC offices, without a human anywhere in site. The photos are meant to prove that the building is not secured if the photographer could wander around at night snapping photos. Of course, the photographer didn't actually enter the office. His only shot of the second floor, where the records are believed to be held, was taken from outside the building.
CBS News reported that the Franklin County chairman of the Democratic Party, Peter Burr, said he received a version of the letter and a thumb drive on August 27. Burr doubts the veracity of the claim but admits "it's conceivable."
To underscore their demand, an anonymous posting on Pastebin, a hacker document-sharing website, states that the tax records were stolen on August 25. It claimed that "after all available 1040 tax forms for Romney were copied", the thieves sent flash drives containing encrypted copies of Romney's pre-2010 returns to PwC, to the Republican and Democratic Party offices. Both have turned the materials over to the Secret Service.
Following is the "ransom note" posted on Pastebin:
Dear PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
Using your Office @ 830 Crescent Centre Drive, Suite 260, Franklin, TN 37067 Telephone: [1] (615) 503-2860 we were able to gain access to your network file servers and copy over the tax documents for one Willard M Romney and Ann D Romney. We are sure that once you figure out where the security breach was, some people will probably get fired but that is not our concern.
All major news media outlets are going to be sent an encrypted copy of the most recent tax years that your company had on file since you did not have them all in a convenient electronic form. The years before 2010 will be of great interest to many. If the parties interested do not want the encrypted key released to the public to unlock these documents on September 28 of this year then payment will be necessary.
The deal is quite simple. Convert $1,000,000 USD to Bitcoins (Google if if you need a lesson on what Bitcoin is) using the various markets available out in the world for buying. Transfer the Bitcoins gathered to the Bitcoin address listed below. It does not matter if small amounts or one large amount is transferred, as long as the final value of the Bitcoins is equal to $1,000,000 USD at the time when it is finished. The keys to unlock the data will be purged and what ever is inside the documents will remain a secret forever.
Bitcoin Address to Stop Release:
Failure to do this before September 28, the entire world will be allowed to view the documents with a publicly released key to unlock everything.
And the same time, the other interested parties will be allowed to compete with you. For those that DO want the documents released will have an different address to send to. If $1,000,000 USD is sent to this account below first; then the encryption keys will be made available to the world right away. So this is an equal opportunity for the documents to remain locked away forever or to be exposed before the September 28 deadline.
Who-ever is the winner does not matter to us.
Stay tuned. With weeks to go to the election, there's no telling how much weirder this could get.

JEFFERSON, La., May 29 (UPI) -- New Orleans Saints wide receiver Joe Morgan was arrested in Jefferson Parish, La., for allegedly driving while intoxicated, his arrest report states.
A state police officer found Morgan around midnight Saturday in Jefferson, La., asleep at the wheel of his parked car. Morgan's blood alcohol content was 0.218, over twice the legal limit of 0.08, the arrest report said, noting Morgan also lacked a valid driver's license.
Morgan was an undrafted rookie free agent in 2011, and scored three touchdowns for the Saints in 2012, The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune reported Wednesday.

MADISON - A Wisconsin-based electronics and furniture store is going out of business.
Citing five years of an "unforgiving" economy, American says it is closing. The Madison-based company has been in operation for 60 years.
"While this is a sad moment it is also a proud moment. It's a moment to be proud of our efforts and to be proud of what we have delivered to the community," president and CEO Doug Reuhl said in a news release. "Words cannot adequately express how grateful we are to our millions of loyal customers, and to the incredible, dedicated family of employees that we have been blessed with over our 60 years of business."
The company says its 989 employees have received advance notice of the closing. The company promises employees will be compensated, with benefits, through the closing process. Most will continue to have jobs, the company says.
A going-out-of-business sale is scheduled to begin on Thursdayat all stores. Gift cards will be honored through the closing process; refunds will be offered to customers who choose not to redeem their gift cards, the company promises. Customers who have open orders waiting for delivery will receive their goods or a refund of their deposit. All products in the service center will be repaired or returned to the customer before closing. Finally, all extended warranty policies are valid and insured, the company says.
According to American's website, it has 11 stores, a service center and a distribution center in Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa. Two of the locations are in the Appleton area.

NEW ORLEANS – The Saints have tied their best start to a season.
Drew Brees had 308 yards passing, Pierre Thomas scored two touchdowns and Jabari Greer returned an interception for a score to help the Saints improve to 7-0 with a 35-27 victory over the Atlanta Falcons last night. Only the 1991 Saints began a season with as many wins.
Greer's touchdown was the Saints' fifth score on an interception this season, tying a single-season franchise mark set in 1998. Tracy Porter also had an interception on the Saints 1-yard line on a pass tipped by Jonathan Vilma in the fourth quarter, preserving a 28-24 lead.
"Obviously it was good to get the win," Saints coach Sean Payton said. "We did a lot of things well but we did a lot of things that hurt us late in the game. We had some ball security issues. ... I thought our defense made some big plays when it counted.
"I'm excited to win, and excited to get to 7-0. We'll be ready to get back to work."
Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan was intercepted three times, the third straight game he's been intercepted at least twice.
Still, the Falcons stayed in it until the end, getting a 40-yard field goal from Jason Elam with 28 seconds left, then recovering an onside kick. Ryan only had time for a desperation heave in the final seconds, and Darren Sharper turned it into his seventh interception of the season.
Sharper's interception also was the Saints' 16th overall this season, surpassing New Orleans' total of 15 from last season. The Saints have at least one interception in every game this season.
Brees hit Marques Colston for an 18-yard score. Thomas scored on a 22-yard run in the first quarter and a 1-yard catch out of the backfield with 3:03 to go, flipping backward over a tackler and into the end zone. That touchdown made it 35-24 and ignited the entire Superdome into chants of "Who dat say they gonna' beat them Saints?"
Reggie Bush added a 1-yard touchdown late in the first half, giving the Saints a lead they would not relinquish.
Roddy White beat Greer on a 68-yard scoring pass from Ryan early in the third quarter, and the Falcons pulled to 28-24 on Elam's 25-yard field goal with 11:33 to go in the game.
That field goal, however, came only after the Saints' Payton sprinted down the sideline and launched his red flag about 20 yards just in time to challenge what had been ruled a game-tying touchdown catch by White in the back of the end zone. Replays showed White allowed the ball to touch the turf as he bobbled the catch.

That is such BS!!!!, I will go back to Ghost Advertures. I will never watch celebrity ghost stories again. How can u trust it after that lie!!!!

Sounds like this story
The Lake Bodom murders were an infamous multiple homicide that took place in Finland in 1960. Lake Bodom is a lake by the city of Espoo, about 22 kilometres west of the country's capital, Helsinki. In the early hours of June 5, 1960, four teenagers were camping on the shores of Lake Bodom.[1] Between 4AM and 6AM, an unknown person or people murdered three of them with a knife and blunt instrument wounding the fourth. The sole survivor, Nils Wilhelm Gustafsson, led a normal life until 2004, when he became a suspect and was subsequently charged. In October 2005, a district court found Gustafsson not guilty of all charges against him.
The murders have proven to be a popular subject in the Finnish media and commonly return to the headlines whenever new information or theories surface, but the case is still unsolved and will probably remain a mystery.

cool I was watching celebrity ghost stories and when she mentions leech lake mn I was like what!!!???I actually live in leech lake but I have never been to that campsite so I don't really know if it's haunted or not:/
#44 Jan 21, 2013
I'm sure that a murder of that scale would be legendary in a smaller community like Walker. If nobody from the community has ever heard of it, then the celebrity is either lying or was herself misinformed. I will admit however that some of the ghost stories on Bio seem legit. I'm a skeptic but my own Dad claims to have seen and heard a ghost.
#45 Feb 6, 2013
Better late than never; the only thing I could find on the subject were murders at the Leech Lake Reservation, but nothing that resembled the story on CGS (Celebrity Ghost Stories)...
But you lot should remember something. Just because the stories aren't true (most urban legends -- which this sounds like -- aren't true, but a few do have a grain of truth to them) doesn't mean the experiences aren't. These people are opening themselves up to persecution, being called liars, or crazy. Yes, they're celebrities, but they're also human beings... so while the 'ghost stories' historically may not be true, nor the legends that spawn them... that doesn't invalidate the alleged experiences. Maybe in this one instance, it was an urban legend perpetuated by some pretty sick counselors, wanting to keep the story alive. We'll never -really- know if any of those occurrences actually -happened-, but try not to be so dismissive and judgemental... they're people and they make mistakes.
Also, they could have changed the location... that's another possibility.

The show is called celebrity ghost stories on bio and i cant fid anything on it either
#47 Jul 20, 2013
These people might actually believe their own stories, they might have been self medicating, they might be crazy. Think about it.
#48 Jul 20, 2013
For some people the line between conscious thought and subconscious thought is very vague, and they have a hard time separating dream state from reality.
#49 Jul 20, 2013
I believe that to. isn't the saying "All legends start with a fraction of the truth?" Plus those camp counselors could have heard the story from the camp counselors when they were kids, and each one of those adults could have heard the same story or even one slightly different. also, the story whether legend or myth could have also been told in a different way at another campground but end the same way.(Death). For example.
I used to go to Camp big silver with the boy & Girls club. I don't know if you heard the story of seaweed Sally but here goes.
There was a teenage girl named Sally (Duh) She and her friend sneaks out one night to go canoeing in the dark. They couldn't get into the boat house to get the life jackets because they lock it at night. So, they went out on the canoe without one. Sally was just relaxing and letting her hand dangle over the side into the water. She leaned to far over and fell in. Her friend tried to save her but Sally drowned. She got caught up in the weeds. A bout four days later her friend and some other kids were camping by the water when Sally (Covered in seaweed) came up on shore. Her friend cried and said how sorry she was. And Sally gave out some kind of warning then went back into the water.
Someone else heard it this way "Seaweed Sally" She was a camper a while back who went canoeing in the lake with a friend. Her friend started goofing off shaking the boat because Sally couldn't swim. Sally freaked out, stood up and screamed, fell out, and was never seen again, even after they drained the lake. The morning after it happened Sally's friend woke up and saw seaweed dripping off the top bunk and wet footprints on the ground.
And in another story Sally was water skiing (Or maybe it was Jet skiing.)
Anyways timelines could have been changed also since the teenagers murdered at Leech lake may have been told for many years. So, who knows. It might not have even been teenagers that were murdered.
BTW, anyone else have a different version of seaweed Sally let me know.

Herb Mullin killed people in California. She's telling a story from northern Minnesota. I doubt it's based on him. I live in northern Minnesota and never heard of this story. Sounds like a campfire story to scare young kids. I'm not saying all the stories are fake but this one I highly doubt. I've found no murders from the 70's as described.
#51 Jul 20, 2013
This sounds like a typical camp prank. Every camp has had murders or was built on an old burial ground. These stories seem to be a camp tradition. I think the motorcycles were the friends or boyfriends of the councilors coming out to scare the girls. Its funny to think that after all these years she hasn't realized that!
#52 Jul 20, 2013
Hey I just watched on the bio channel I think it was 4 teenagers that were murdered by a stranger with a chainsaw.....I remember listening to talk radio when I was driving truck at night ... and they were talking about movies that are based on a true store and thats the bases of the Texas chain saw massacre but that it actually happened in Minnesota? The show I was just watching was the 10 scarest places and it was celebrities. Good luck
#53 Aug 7, 2013
Did anyone consider that it was a ghost story told to the campers, and the lights, screams, and tracks were made by counselors? That is a common trick played on campers at summer camps.

This story is weird....throughout the years the legend apparently changed overall the years....if this was a "true story" it would be able to be investigated by others....being a Native American who actually lives in the area I believe that there are spirits, entities, ghosts whatever you prefer to call them....it's so ironic that most of these people "get rid" of negativity energy by burning sage throughout the "haunted dwelling" which for us Native Americans use for cleansing....OF COURSE THERE ARE SPIRITS....BUT YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND UNTIL YOU EXPERIENCE IT....

#55 Aug 17, 2013
I don't mean to sound rude but that was and INCREDIBLY stupid comment, I believe in spirits/ghosts and I even think that some story are a croc of shit because people lie. It's happens, they want attention and they lie to get it. Actors do it too, as shocking as it may seem. just because people don't believe in the story doesn't mean they don't believe in ghosts. I'm not saying leech lake isn't haunted I'm just saying it can't be haunted by four brutally murdered teenagers from the 70's.
Also don't listen to that guy claiming Jason Voorhees is real. He's not. He's the series killer from Friday the 13th.

LMN's Clebrity Ghost Story once again ran S. Harris's story of her encounter. 1)Leech Lake, MN is not a city in MN it is a large body of water in Walker, MN. 2)There is a Camp Birchwood, in Laporte, MN near Walker. 3)Having family living on the lake there never has been a murder of any kind described by Harris, 4)many internet searches have been performed since the episode was first aired with nothing found. So I take this story with a grain of salt. Ms Harris may have experienced something somewhere at sometime but, it was not near Leech Lake in Walker,MN. Will continue to research this because it piques my interest, imagination, and need for answers.

The story of daniel stern is a real town. However not a ghost town. There is a living community that resides there. There was a bad storm.in the 1600s that caused part of the steeple caved in killing 4 people who are buried in the church. This is a small town and when someone of importance passes away they whole town morns which would explain all of them being somber and dressed in black.
#60 Oct 12, 2013
I just seen the same show but on LMN called Celebrity Ghost Stories . Haven't found anything but this page about it. Has to be a lie , i lived there for most of my life and never heard anything like it . Thats why i searched it to see if there was anything .

Enugu State Governor, Sullivan Chime, was feared dead on Saturday.
Unconfirmed reports had it that Chime passed on at an Indian hospital after battling an undisclosed ailment for some months.
Meanwhile, The PUNCH's Enugu State correspondent, Ozioma Ubabukoh, was harassed by seven men who claimed to be security agents in front of his apartment in Enugu around 11.45pm on Saturday.
The men seized Ubabukoh's phone and his laptop in order to stop him from sending stories to the head office.
As at press time, the men were still in Ubabukoh's apartment and insisted that they were not leaving until 3am.
Efforts to get across to some commissioners in the state were not successful as their phones were switched off.

On MMSE Vector-Perturbation Precoding for MIMO Broadcast Channels With Per-Antenna-Group Power Constraints
Recently, studies on sub-optimal precoding techniques for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Broadcast Channels (MIMO-BC), which achieve performance near to that of the Dirty Paper Coding (DPC), have drawn attention to Vector Perturbation (VP). In practice, each antenna or more generally each antenna group has its own limit on the transmitted power, which makes per-Antenna-Group (per-AG) power constraints more meaningful than the sum power constraint. In this paper, the authors assume the perantenna-group constraints and first investigate antenna-group power-constrained VP inspired by the p-sphere encoder for the case when channel inversion is used by the front-end linear precoder.

Ole Smoky Moonshine Products
Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine is a great corn whiskey that we've covered before; what really caught our eye recently, though, is their huge range of Moonshine-soaked foods. Soaked isn't the right word, exactly: each jar contains less than 1% of their 100 proof 'shine. Still, it's an entertaining menu.
