We don't, however, talk about the details of the dirty gun squad in the Baltimore Police Department. You can read about that in the Sun. The details are salacious.
Nor do we talk about the Feds busting a drug crew in East Baltimore. Arrested a dozen or so, including "Rat" and "Juicy" and recovered, get this hundreds of, er, grams of drugs.
The shop opened at 6:30AM and continued into the early evening. with about 10 drug transactions per hour. Let's say 100 transaction a day at $10 profit per. That's a good living. But divided by 13 plus people, it's not that much money. One of the dealers worked "at the Sheraton Inner Harbor Hotel downtown and sold drugs to hotel guests in addition to working with the East Baltimore gang." He remarked on a wiretap:
That it was "more stressful to have a job" than to "just be out here hustlin'."Ain't that the truth.
Meanwhile in Baltimore, a supervisor in the Department of Transportation was charged by the Feds. Shoplifting turns violent. And the killing continues unabated, 23 people killed to date, this month alone.
All this, and you'd think some city leader would take blame for something. But no, it's never the fault of the leaders. Not as long they say they're for "reform." What are they reforming? Perhaps, in a city without accountability, they're part of the problem.
On the plus side, lead is down. Maybe homicides will drop similarly in the 2030s.

The environment in Logic is one of the most powerful and useful aspects of the application, however it can appear to be daunting at first. You can use these environments by copying and pasting into the environment of your own Logic song and either use exactly as is, or else you can use them to see find out a bit more about the Logic Environment by analyzing what the cabling, transformers and switchers are doing.
The Modwheel & Pitch Transformer ("MPT") Logic Pro environment makes a standard MIDI keyboard much more flexible. It transforms Modwheel, Pitchwheel and Sustain pedal into any type of Continous Controller from CC 0 to CC 127. This was originally developed to make controlling Vienna Instruments much easier. There is now a dedicated Vienna Controller. The MPT is now an all purpose tool.
To use it you just download it (350 KB) then copy and paste into your Logic Environment. Full installation and operation instructions are included for envirophobes. This is a public beta so please feel free to report any bugs.
The buttons on the left are on/off buttons. In the off postion they allow whatever source data through unchanged. When in the on position you can now choose the type of copntinuous controller from the menu in the coloured panels.
Sus to CC
Very often you don't use your sustain pedal when recording sequences. When activated by the on/off button to the left this changes your sustain pedal data to whatever CC type you choose from the drop down menu in the blue button. This is very useful for anything you can control with just a 2 way switch and of course your modwheel is still free for other controllers.
Pitch to CC
Again the pitch wheel is often redundant for many styles, so this switches it to Continous Controller any type of CC. Once again your modwheel is still free for other controllers.
CC1 Transform
This has a very straightforward use, to convert your standard CC 1 (modwheel) data to any other type of controller. Just click on it to access the menu.
Modwheel Switcher for Audio Instruments (ZIP file) This environment lets you switch between audo instruments using the modwheel. This is ideal for keeping different articulations (e.g. arco, pizzicato, sforzando strings) on the same track in the arrange and score. Instructions included. (Logic Pro 7)
Keyswitches for Audio Instruments (ZIP file) This environment lets you switch between 4 audo instruments using the key switches C0-D#0. use this one when you need to also use the modwheel for control data. It is quite complex, if anyone can find a simpler way (there must be), I'd like to hear about it.
This environment shows you how to use a channel splitter. Very useful if you have two MIDI keyboards that need to control two different Logic instruments. You can download the song or set the environment up for yourself:
Create the MIDI Instrument, Channel Splitter and Monitors (optional) from the Environment New Menu and cable them as shown. In this example incoming MIDI channel 1 is sent to to one softsynth instrument and incoming MIDI channel 2 is sent to another. Only the MIDI instrument (instrument) is on an arrange track.
The monitors are optional, they are just there so you can see what is happening: you could just connect the cables from the CS 1 and 2 outputs directly to the audio instrument objects.
MIDI to Wah Wah Control (ZIP file). (Plus Wah Wah arrange Icon). This environment shows you how control the Logic Fuzz-Wah plugin with an external controller, e.g. keyboard modwheel or MIDI footpedal. The keyboard control is useful to use after the audio file is recorded, it need not be a guitar, this works very well on many other instruments and virtual instruments. It uses the keyswitches C0 and C#0 to switch the bypass on and off. You just need to copy and paste the objects from this environment into yours, cable to the audio track, insert a Fuzz-wah plugin and play with the modwheel.
DFH Superior mapped instrument (ZIP file) This environment has a Mapped Drum Instrument set up for DFH Superior Drummer. You need to copy the instrument into your environment, it works with the included adapted mapped drum scorestyle
DFH Drums. To copy the scorestyle you just need to copy and paste the empty sequence from the arrange window to your own song. All cymbals show on the top space, the 5 toms start on the space above the staff (Rack 1) and then on each space consecutively down to Floor 2 on the bottom space.
Roland XV 5080 & Proteus 2000 plus expansion cards (ZIP file)
Proteus: Pure Phatt, Orchestral 1, Orchestral 2
Roland XV: Orchestral, World & Keyboards of 60s and 70s.
This is a Logic 4.8 Mac file, to open on a PC you may need to use
import from the file menu to open the file.
Emu Carnaval (Logic Pro 7 sit file 117kB)
Screenset Fader (SIT file) This one uses a screenset fader to switch screensets automatically, showing a text commentary using markers. Environment is on screenset 7.

Facts on the Dugout Canoe
Goodshoot/Goodshoot/Getty Images
Shipbuilding is a science and an art. One of the less complex designs, and one of the earliest, is the dugout canoe, a canoe made from a log that is hollowed out.
People have discovered dugout canoes in such places as Central Europe, East and Southeast Asia, West Africa, North America, the Pacific Islands, the Caribbean, New Zealand and Australia.
History: Oldest Canoes
The art of making dugout canoes stretches back into history. The process of making a dugout canoe tended to develop in areas that had a good resource of timber.
The oldest known dugout canoe was found in the Netherlands, and is known as the Pesse canoe. Carbon dating results estimate that the Pesse canoe dates from 8200 to 7600BC. Stepping forward from 8200BC to AD2011, this makes the Pesse canoe believed to be around 10,000 years old.
An 8,000-year-old dugout canoe was found in the Lower Yangzi River. Stepping back 8,000 years from AD2011 means it was constructed around 6000BC.
In North America the oldest known dugout canoes come from DeLeon Springs, Florida. These canoes have been dated to be around 6,000 years old, meaning they were constructed around 4000BC.
Around 2000BC, people from Taiwan and Malaysia made dugout canoes. In addition to carving the log, they were known to use the outrigger, a construction attached to the side of the canoe to stabilise it for oceanic travel.
Several methods exist for making dugout canoes. One method involves using fire to burn out the interior of the boot. The log was burnt down some, and then the boat builders would scrape out the interior some. Then they burnt the log out some more. The specific style of a dugout canoe depended on the culture and the canoe's intended use.
Another method doesn't use fire and just carves logs to the desired dimensions.
The kind of wood used depended on such things as the region and availability. The Polynesians used koa logs. The Iroquois used elm wood. In eastern North America, logs from the chestnut or the pine were used, and oak was used as well.
Dugout canoes aren't just the traditional way certain ethnicities used to travel on the water. The Corps of Discovery, headed by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, made use of dugout canoes.
During World War II, John F. Kennedy's patrol boat the PT 109 was attacked and sank. He and the rest of the crew were found by a search party from the Solomon Islands who looked for them in dugout canoes. The Solomon Islands still make use of dugout canoes today.

The winner of the signed copy of Sacrifice is rachel445! Contact me via my website so I can get your mailing information.
So sorry to be late posting the winner of the giveaway! I had a computer crash and I'm still recovering.
It's hard to dodge the influence of vampires on pop culture today, with Twilight, Vampire Diaries, True Blood, and a plethora (always wanted to use that word) of vampire books on the market. All of these focus on supernatural vampires, creatures I'll assume don't actually exist. (Aw ...) I'd like to talk about lifestyle vampires, humans who model themselves after supernatural vampires because it fulfills some need of theirs. Many in this subculture call themselves vampyres to distinguish themselves from the supernatural variety.
In addition to shared needs to belong (are the clans really a variant of gangs?), the vampyres believe they have things in common with the supernatural vampires, such as the need to draw life energy from others in the form of blood, sexual energy, or psychic energy. Also, those who have some form of minor or major mental illness, ranging from lack of lack of ability to deal with other people to schizophrenia sometimes feel these aren't flaws at all, but due entirely to their vampyrism. It's easy to see why this lifestyle can draw people who are uncertain about their own identities. There are thought to be about 10,000 vampyres in the U.S., ranging from those with a mild interest who like the costumes to those who sleep in coffins.
A clan meeting involves secret rituals that may or may not include drinking blood, but the odds are much higher with sanguinarians, or sangs, defined by their thirst for blood. Sangs don't do the whole Goth dress-up and usually try to disassociate themselves from vampyres. They feel their need for blood is a part of their physical makeup, and don't like publicity or the current popular emphasis on vampires. They don't use fangs; they draw blood with a razor blade and suck it down, almost always from a willing donor. Being practical about it, they test their donors for blood-borne diseases.
Vampyrism can turn deadly. In the Rod Ferrell case, the sixteen-year-old Florida clan leader killed the parents of one of the members of his clan.
Fake vampire teeth are available, from cheap plastic ones used at Halloween to fancier custom-molded, full mouth designs that are similar to movie effects. Some vampyres have their teeth ground to sharp points, or have fang-like caps placed over their incisors, but this can be awkward at the day job.

What To Know About Every Breath You TakeOctober 26, 2011 | Posted in Education
Do you or anyone in your family find it hard to sleep at night? Are you waking up irritable in the morning due to that lack of sleep? Have you ever considered the possibility that the problem may be the way that you breathe?
Specifically, the problem you may be facing is that you are a mouth breather!
For some people, the first task to work past when dealing with mouth breathing is the attitude that it is not a big deal. Breathing through the mouth for a short time period after physical exertion may not be problematic.
However, regular, prolonged mouth breathing is a real problem!
For instance, consistent breathing through the mouth can result in the facial muscles developing in an abnormal way to accommodate the breathing style. This stress on the muscles can cause headaches in the short term, and can even lead to facial deformities over an extended period of time.
People who breathe through the mouth are more likely to have inflamed tonsils. This can cause something of a vicious circle as the more inflamed the tonsils become, the more they close the airway for the mouth breather, possibly resulting in further disruptions to the breathing pattern.
Mouth breathing can also cause inflammation of the gums. This may result in gingivitis or bad breath.
Of course, sleep disorders may be the most serious problem associated with mouth breathing. Proper sleep is vital to allow our body time to heal and repair itself. If mouth breathing is impairing your sleep, your body may not be getting the rejuvenation it requires from a good night's sleep.
When we are looking at young children, lack of sleep can lead to developmental issues and behavioural problems. The behavioural issues in some such children have been mistaken for ADHD and children have been prescribed unnecessary medication as a result.
Your dentist may be able to spot the signs of mouth breathing. Inflammation of the tonsils or gums may be a sign that you or your child suffer from this problem. A referral to an ear, nose and throat specialist may be necessary to determine if tonsils may have to be removed.
Otherwise, your dentist might be able to solve the problem with an appliance that will encourage more healthy breathing through the nose. The exact remedy you require will vary depending upon the severity of the problem. You can discuss this with your dentist and any other appropriate health care professional.
If you suspect mouth breathing may be a problem for you, discuss it with your dentist. It may be quite simple to correct and the sleep you get as a result will be well worth it. Because a good night's sleep is a healthy habit…and healthy habits lead to healthy lives.

"It says everything it should without the endless repeating and rephrasing so that readers would understand the concept, because it was so clearly explained the first time. This is a book that will get and keep your attention, and a must-read book for everyone dealing with computer and information security."
--Zeljka Zorz, Help Net Security
"I'd really recommend Hacking: The Next Generation to my fellow techies. More important than learning new ways to mess with each other's minds, it will expose you to a number of new attack vectors that you may not have considered. And in most cases, simple awareness of those new vectors is enough to allow you to start to defend against them. "

My name is Damon Tucker and I am against Hawaii Senate Bill 465 as it is currently written.
Steven Tyler and Mick Fleetwood and their attorney lobby Hawaii senate for stronger privacy laws. The Steven Tyler Act would make it a civil tort to "capture or intend to capture, in a manner that is offensive to a reasonable person, through any means a visual image, sound recording, or other physical impression of another person while that person is engaging in a personal or familial activity with a reasonable expectation of privacy."
Video courtesy of Hawaii Reporter:
I highly suggest folks read the Hawaii Reporter post on this:
"….Media attorney Jeff Portnoy, who represents several media organizations in Hawaii including Hawaii Reporter, called the bill "a headline grabbing bill that makes lawmakers look silly."
Portnoy maintained Hawaii already has laws in place to address violations of privacy, trespassing and harassment and said the legislation goes way beyond what is necessary to protect celebrities' privacy.
"It is like using an atomic weapon to kill an ant," Portnoy said.
The bill violates the U.S. Constitution, Portnoy said, claiming it will not withstand a court challenge, but he is still concerned about the bill's impact.
"The idea of pandering to celebrities who spend their lives cultivating publicity should be of significant concern to everyone, because it does not only restrict so call paparazzi but it has impacts far beyond that," Portnoy said…."

The simplicity of the Bowen move belies its power. Tom Bowen didn't advance many suggestions for how it works.
It is now thought that the Bowen moves gently reset the autonomic nervous system, enabling it to reorganise and retune itself and the muscles, underlying tissues and organs that it controls.
These include the cardiac, respiratory, reproductive, gastrointestinal, endocrine, and peripheral circulation functions, all of which are very susceptible to tension. The Bowen treatment helps the body replace this tension – and pain and dysfunction – with the relaxed and healing benefits of the parasympathetic mode.
Bowen frees up the connection between the different layers that makes up your body. These connective tissues are called fascia, and they unite and tie everything together in your body: internal organs, muscles, bones, and central nervous system.
However, no manipulation or adjustments are made. No force is used to shift bones into place. Bowen is not a form of massage.
Incidentally, and for those interested in acupuncture: there are many links between where Bowen moves are made and the underlying acupuncture channels and channel points. Bowen appears to rebalance, strengthen and tone the acupuncture channel (or 'meridian') system.
A growing body of opinion thinks that acupuncture also works by influencing the fascia.
Of course, acupuncture has a comprehensive and sophisticated view of health, going back 3000 years.
Jonathan Clogstoun-Willmott practises a number of therapies.
Over the years he's gradually learned which ones help in different situations, so don't be surprised if he recommends another form of treatment for your problem. In some cases he may recommend someone else to do the treatment.

Welcome to Part 6 of our tips for working in SharePoint document libraries. Part 5 introduced the concept of views in SharePoint. Today we'll build on that theme and explore the ability to filter and sort information in document libraries, and have a quick look at Search.
A document library is really just a list of information. This is easy to conceptualise when you work with your document library in Quick Edit mode. In Quick Edit mode, your document library acts more like an Excel spreadsheet, even down to having a fill handle to quickly add data to columns.
Excel has filter and sort capacity and in a similar fashion, SharePoint lists can be sorted and filtered. This is why applying relevant metadata columns to your document libraries can be so powerful. Any column can be sorted or filtered to promote desired content within the list.
Let's explore what it means to filter and sort your document libraries using the available columns:
When documents are "Modified"
Sort your Modified column in descending order to promote recently modified documents to the top of the list. This is often the quickest way to find the document you're after, if it's newly added or something you've been working on recently.
Documents that are "Modified By"
If you don't have a "My Docs" view, you can use the Modified By column to select only documents that have been modified by you. You can also use this to filter documents modified by other team members, so if you're looking for a document you know was last modified by a particular team member, this can be a useful filter to apply. It can catch you out however, if someone else modified the document in the meantime, it may not show the results you are expecting.
Modified and Modified By are out of the box columns (they are created as the default columns in new document libraries). When used in conjunction they can very quickly surface desired content.
Documents of a particular file type
I'm particularly fond of this filter. If I'm after an Excel document that I know the team has been working on, but I'm not sure what it's named, I'll sort the library by Modified and then filter the file types by Excel. It's easy to see what Excel documents are there and identify the document that I'm looking for.
Being able to preview the document helps too, clicking on the ellipsis will open the menu dialog for the selected item and most files can be viewed in preview.
Documents that relate to custom metadata
In addition to the out of the box columns above, your libraries may be configured with other columns that contain custom metadata.
Any additional columns can be used to filter and sort documents in a library. In this example, a "department" column has been added to this library. It will allow the selection of multiple items, so it's easy to filter everything tagged to one or more specific departments.
Of course, all of these scenarios are based around you knowing which document library to look in. What happens when you're not sure where a document lives?
Why not just search?
SharePoint has a search engine and if you have an idea of the document name or subject matter, you can often find what you're after by entering a few keywords into the site search bar. Search refiners can then help to further narrow down the results. For example, if I want to find all PDF documents, created by me, containing the word "intranet", search is a handy tool for turning up the results I'm looking for.
It is also possible to create Web Parts that have search refiners applied to them, to help users find the information they are looking for with greater ease. Search can be very effective and search tools that have been specifically built for the site are of great value to users.
However, your documents can be found easily in libraries without search. The key is to have a well-defined and reasonably flat site architecture, so that users know where documents should be stored without burying them in deep sub-folder structures. If you master applying filters and sorting columns, the documents you are looking for will always be promoted to the top of the list, even if there are hundreds of documents in a library.
It's worth noting that people don't know what they don't know. While filters, sorting and search can help users find the documents they are after, it doesn't solve a common business problem that many companies have. Users are often simply unaware, or have forgotten, that a particular document even exists.
Many a wheel has been reinvented because people were unaware the work had already been done. A communication platform such as Yammer can be a great way for team members to share knowledge of the documents that are being created or worked on and there's nothing like a regular presentation slot during team meetings for sharing this sort of knowledge.
This article was written using SharePoint Online via Office 365 to demonstrate the current features of SharePoint document libraries. If you'd like to explore how you can improve user adoption for an existing SharePoint site, or you're interested in moving to Office 365 call us today to find out more.
Stay tuned for our next article as we continue our series on working with SharePoint Document Libraries!

It seems that as the modern game industry grows there is now a distinct push towards games that are more of a journey, or an adventure, than traditionally associated with the medium. The likes of Heavy Rain, The Walking dead and LA Noire have begun to blur the lines between games and interactive cinema, while thatgamecompany's Journey has ventured to the other end of the spectrum creating games that are focused more on the experience contained within than any other aspect of gaming. Don't get me wrong, they are by no means the pioneer of these styles, but merely the front runners in their respective speciality. It is also clear, that as a platform holder, Sony are currently at the forefront of developing and cultivating these new directions.
Into this arena steps a new contender, with the arrival of The Unfinished Swan by Giant Sparrow.
The Unfinished Swan, places you in the role of Monroe who is currently held in an orphanage following the death of his mother. His mother was a capacious painter, but although she created a great deal of work, they all went incomplete. When she died, Monroe was allowed to keep one of her works, and he chose her favourite, the titular unfinished swan. One night Monroe awakens to find the painting empty, and so begins his journey to find the swan carrying only his mothers silver paintbrush.
All of the story takes place, similar in style and mood to a Dahl or Sendak,in the form of a childrens book which relays Monroe's tale as you progress. Further pages from the book can be found dotted about the levels which expand and fill out the tale of the King of this fantastical world into which you follow the swan.
Early footage showed off the opening levels as well as the first interactions used throughout this delightful game. You are tasked with following the swan, which leads you into the blank canvas world created by the King. Navigating through the environment requires you to throw out paint which will highlight the environment with Forests, Rocks, buildings and creatures appearing and coming to life as you reveal them against the background. The stark contrast between the black splatters of paint, revealing the refined, somewhat incomplete features of your surroundings, and the white, sterile environment is utterly stunning, and looking back on the path you have created from on high is a truly picturesque and alluring sight. Following the paint footprints of the swan through this barren environment, reveals the life and works of the King in his attempt to create the most perfect world he can imagine.
The mechanics available to your character are the same throughout, but the interaction with the environment changes. In later levels it will have you firing water to move switches and cause the rampant growth of climbable vines to negotiate the environment, hitting lights in the darkened levels to keep back the spiders that hide in the shadow and will attack you when you step out of the lights area, and even marking out areas in all 3 dimensions to create blocks out of special "blueprint" areas to allow you to progress further. These levels, unlike the initial level, are all starkly outlined allowing you to navigate with more ease than the initial chapter, but somewhat detracts from the look and feel of the game. You still have to pick out your path at places with your ability, but rather than the permanent addition of colour to a blank canvas, some of the later sections have your creation fade requiring you to slowly but surely traverse between the blank sections and those that are outlined and readily visible.
Overall the story is charming and engrossing, and even though the game is played out over four and six hours, it had me mesmerised the entire duration.
As you traverse the levels, you will on occasion stumble upon balloons hidden in the environment, and collecting these will act as currency for the "Toys" section of the menu. These include a small display for identifying when you are close to these hidden balloons, the ability to freeze the paint in mid-air to allow you to coat a wide area at once, and even the capability to wipe clean the world of all paint you have already utilised.
These alterations and the collection of these balloons add a small modicum of re-playability to the game, but not enough to warrant multiple completions of the entire story, and this lack of duration is really one of the few minor complaints I have about this title.
Aside from the games short length, progressing the growth of the vines in the second chapter is definitely the weakest point of this game and feels very linear in its delivery, but the rest of the game more than makes up for this deficit.
It is worth noting that this particular title has widespread appeal, and I have found that those more interested in their casual gaming have also been drawn to this game. With such a different approach to game design and storytelling, gamers of all ages and interests can enjoy this particular outing.
All in all, this is a fantastic addition to a growing branch of unique and stylised games, and living up to the name of their first game, I feel that the staff at GiantSparrow have not yet fully refined their place in the industry, and still have more room to grow their own brand and style.
I for one look forward to what they produce in the future.
MLG Rating: 8/10 Platform: PS3 Release Date: 24/10/2012
Disclosure: Midlife Gamer were provided a digital copy of The Unfinished Swan for review purposes. The title was reviewed over the course of 2 days on a PS3. For more information on what our scores mean, plus details of our reviews policy, click here.

For the Weekly Record Herald
WEST MILTON — The West Milton Rotary Club program on July 20 was a presentation by program host and Rotarian, Jon Neitzke.
Jon's interest in history led him to give a presentation on the "History of Rotary." He used the resources from Rotary International website and other sources from his research to provide an excellent summary of the key points in the development of the Rotary Club, first in the United States and then internationally.
He told the Rotarians of the early years of Rotary from when Paul Harris and friends held the first Rotary meeting on Feb. 23, 1905. The first Rotary president was Silvester Schiele.
He then shared the evolution of the Rotary emblem over the years, from a basic wagon wheel to the present symbol used internationally.
Jon also mentioned the first time singing became a part of Rotary. This was the result of some prolonged discussions during a meeting and a Rotarian decided to jump up on a chair and begin singing to lighten the mood. This is significant since we are a "singing club."
Rotary mottoes were also developed in the early years around 1907 to 1910. "Service Above Self" was one of the early mottoes that we still use.
During the decade between 1910 to 1920, community projects were developed with one of the first being a "public comfort station" in Chicago. In 1932 the 4Way Test was formulated by a member.
During the 30's, the number of Rotary clubs grew to over 5000 in the United States. Paul Harris died in 1947 and the first Interact Club was started in Florida in 1962.
In 1987 the US Supreme Court ruled that women could be members of Rotary. In 1990 the Rotary Club of Moscow chartered first ever club in then Soviet Union. In 1994, the western hemisphere is declared polio free. In 2006, only four countries remain polio-endemic: Afghanistan, India Nigeria, and Pakistan. India was removed from the list in 2012.
In 2007, the Rotary foundation celebrated the millionth Paul Harris Fellow. More than 199,000 women are members of Rotary worldwide, with an increasing number serving as district governors.
Jon mentioned that in our southwest Ohio district #6670, the first club was started in Cincinnati in 1910 with one in Dayton started in 1912. The first club in Miami County was in Piqua in 1915 followed by Troy in 1918. Our West Milton club began in 1945.
Jon concluded his presentation by showing pictures of famous Rotarians, either active or honorary. Among those mentioned were Harland Sanders, J.C. Penny, Sam Walton, Dr. Charles H. Mayo, Neil Armstrong, Thomas Edison, Orville Wright, Warren G. Harding, George W. Bush and Gerald Ford.

One more cupcake post! Megan's birthday was within the last two weeks. We were able to celebrate this week with some beach themed cupcakes! Since… well, she loves the beach!
You'll see an assortment of beach accessories- flip flops, beach towel, life saver, sun, pails! And of course, Ghiya's signature dog with frisbee up at the top left corner. To complete the theme, we had funfetti type cake (I threw some sprinkles in the batter) and vanilla buttercream frosting tinted an ocean blue.
Happy Birthday Meg!

And that means you have seen one too many cowboy and Indian movies and chose to try archery out. Good decision. But what does one desire? Where do you start? Nothing says you have to purchase everything, if you're not sure that you are likely to remain with it. If you're a pupil, ask if you could sign out some gear in the physical education section. Check around to get a nearby archery club. Chances are they will allow you to lease or borrow the essentials. You'll have to check one or both of these institutions out anyhow so that you can locate an archery range.
So what type of traditional archery supplies are you going to need buy from www.archerysupplier.com to start? Well, obviously you'll need some form of bow. There are lots of styles available in the world of archery. For beginners, the most used selections are self bows, the recurve bow, or the stylish longbow. For obvious reasons, a crossbow is just not suggested to get a beginner, unless the sole thing you are planning on doing is bow hunting. Crossbows are not unpopular in hunting as a result of range and their power. Ask yourself what kind of archery you are interested in. Your choice will be in part guided by that. For target practice the initial three are good candidates. You may want to choose between them based on relaxation.
The next traditional archery supplies you'll need is a number of arrows. Like bows, there are various kinds of arrows. Your choice of hunting arrows ought to be founded on the weight of the arrow and speed you are planning to get. For shooting in the range, you may need arrows made for multiple uses.
As soon as you have those principles you'll be able to look into things that are not must-haves , strictly speaking, but are designed to enhance your shots and add to your comfort and safety. By way of example, your shot as well as your bow will stabilize. A good pair of gloves can add to your comfort level and stop harm to your hands. Arm guards do only everything you could imagine in the name.
There is a target necessary to increase precision and your ability. It not only gives you something to aim at, but in addition, it provides you with a way to judge your progress as your skill level improves. It is possible to spend around as much money as you would like on goals or you may save cash and create your own. There are numerous websites on the internet that will give free teachings to you. If you buy your targets, you will get the standard round one, square tote ones, or ones shaped like deer or fowl!
Most of a wide range of traditional archery supplies pastime is made for the kind of shooting and as you can see, there's it you would like to do. Maybe this is the hardest part: restricting yourself to a style at a time!

Posted on 19 December 2016
We have been granted full planning permission in a joint venture with mixed-use developer First Base for a scheme to create much needed new homes, and regenerate the derelict Anston House on Preston Road in Brighton.
The plans submitted to the Council in July 2016, designed by Terence Conran & Partners architectural design studio, will deliver 229 new homes together with new employment space creating 283 new jobs. The building has been designed to respond to its setting adjacent to Preston Park, home to 63 acres of open space. The scheme will be one of the 'greenest' ever built in Brighton, exceeding sustainability requirements by almost 50%.
The Anston House site has sat derelict for around 30 years, with many local residents calling for the site to be redeveloped and put into good use. 77% of the public wanted to see Anston House demolished and replaced with a more suitable development. The development of new homes and jobs on the Anston House site is supported by the City's business community, including the Chamber of Commerce, Economic Partnership, City Regeneration Unit and the University of Sussex.
As part of the redevelopment, we are jointly investing £1.3million with First Base in developer contributions to support the existing community, to ensure that community infrastructure is in place to support residents of the new development.
Elliot Lipton, Managing Director at First Base, said "We are pleased that our plans for Anston House have been approved and we can get on with bringing the derelict site back into use. We look forward to continuing to work with residents, businesses and Brighton and Hove City Council over the coming years to ensure that our plans can be a major contributor to the City's future success."
Tom Shaw, Development Director (South) for Hyde, said "Many developers have tried and failed over a 30 year period to secure planning permission to redevelop Anston House. We are delighted to have been given the green light for our scheme to give the people of Brighton more places to live, create new jobs and invest into a major regeneration scheme worth £139 million to the local economy. We look forward to starting on site in the coming year"

Calgary will look to private sector for bike share program
No timeline for program given as city wants to build better bike lane infrastructure first
City council has approved looking to the private sector to come up with a public bike share program for Calgary, but it's rejected calling for proposals in 2014.
Several Canadian cities already have bike shares operating where people can rent cycles from parking stands in public areas.
Mayor Naheed Nenshi says it seems council wants to focus first on building safer cycling infrastructure, like physically separated bike lanes so that any future bike share users will be safer.
"We don't mind the idea of a third-party-operated bike share program, but today what we said is — on a close vote — we don't want to put a timeline on this, an artificial timeline," he said.
"Let's focus on getting the bike infrastructure in place first and I think that's the right thing to do."
Council voted on Monday to have the city's administration develop a network of physically-separated cycle lanes by December of next year.
"Let's just hold back and see how the development of the cycle track network looks and whether there are third parties that are interested," said Nenshi.
"In short, if someone comes to us and says 'Here's our proposal', we're not going to say 'No,' but i think council said today don't do a ton of work in creating this within the walls of the city."
North Glenmore cycle track petition
Bike lane infrastructure also came up as a separate issue at council Monday when Ald. Brian Pincott presented a petition of Lakeview and North Glenmore residents who oppose a cycle track on Crowchild Trail.
The Lakeview Community Association says it is confused by the two-way separated bike lanes in the community, and would like to see the infrastructure on Crowchild Trail between 66 Avenue and North Glenmore Trail S.W. removed.

Perhaps in an attempt to find the truth behind what President Trump has decried as �fake news,� requests for government documents under the Freedom of Information Act have soared since he took office, according to an analysis released Tuesday by Syracuse University.
The 63 public record lawsuits filed in April represented a 25-year high, said officials at The FOIA Project at the Newhouse School at the New York university said. Further, with 60 lawsuits filed already in May, it, too, is likely to be another record-setting month, they said.
Information sought includes records on Trump�s executive orders and last month�s missile attack on Syria. Lawsuits have also been filed to get warrant applications for surveillance activities and internal agency communications about China. People and organizations are also seeking paperwork about actions taken by the new director of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and border searches by the Department of Homeland Security.
If the pace continues, university officials said they expect more than 579 public records lawsuits will be filed before the fiscal year ends in Sept. 30. By comparison, 512 Freedom of Information Act lawsuits were filed during the last fiscal year of the Obama Administration.

The Effects of Mitochondrial DNA Mutations on Cell Growth (2005)
Type of ContentTheses / Dissertations

AuthorsTsao, Chihyishow all
Mitochondrial DNA encodes thirteen protein subunits in the oxidative phosphorylation system (OXPHOS) that is responsible for cellular energy production. Mitochondrial disorders have been identified to be associated with mtDNA mutations. However, the molecular mechanisms of specific mtDNA mutations are still being explored in order to establish causative links. This study tries to elucidate the mutational effects of mtDNA on OXPHOS complex activities and cell growths. Using mouse 3T3 fibroblasts as a cell model, single-cell clones with different growth rates were isolated. The entire mtDNA genome was sequenced for mutations. The enzymatic activities of OXPHOS complex I to V were analysed. Three growth patterns represented by five clones were identified. Three clones (clone #2, #3, and #6) had the shortest doubling times (11.5 - 14.9 hours). Clone #1 had a medium growth rate (19.2 hous); and clone #5 had a significantly slow growth rate (22 hours). MtDNA sequencing results revealed that clone #5 had several heteroplasmic mutations (one in 16S rRNA, two in tRNAser (UCN), three in tRNAasp, one in tRNAlys, one in COI, five in COII, and one in ATPase8) while the other four clones showed sequence homology. Enzymatic analyses showed that on average clone #5 had significantly low complex III, IV, and V activities (p < 0.05). Changes in biochemical properties and protein structure were analyzed to deduct possible mechanisms for reduced respiration. In conclusion, the slow growth rate is associated with reduced OXPHOS enzyme functions. It is most likely that the combination of COI and COII mutations resulted in the reduction of complex IV function. It is still unclear whether the ATPase8 mutation (T7869A) in the non-conserved region alone can have such a pronounced phenotypic effect. A reduction in complex III also cannot be explained since there were no mutations in the only mtDNA-encoded complex III gene, but it is possible that there are mutations in the nDNA-encoded complex III genes. Mutations in tRNA and rRNA genes may also be responsible for reduced protein syntheses and consequently reduced OXPHOS activities. It is unclear why complex I activity was not affected. Although the mutational effect of individual mtDNA mutation observed cannot be clearly identified, this study establishes a correlation between mtDNA mutation and cell energy production and growth.

Hobby vs. Occupational vs. Serious Author
I've been thinking a lot about my role as an author.
It's been almost eight years since I started writing my first book, and I hope I've come a long way. I used to think of authors simply as people who wrote books, but now I see that while that's true, there are also many kinds of authors. Most are one of three kinds of authors (or working to become such).
There are those who work on a book once in a while, and ten or fifteen years later, they complete it. They have day jobs, various hobbies, and writing is one of them. They will probably only write one to three books in their lives.
Then there are authors who are experts in a field, and as a way of advancing that field, they write a book on the topic. They have day jobs doing the very thing they write about. They're authors as a means of promoting their day-job. They may write multiple books, but those books will most likely all be relating to their niche.
Then there are serious, full-time authors. They are the authors who write and write and write. By the time they finish a book, they've got at LEAST one more underway. They may also write for magazines, newspapers, journals, or any number other places, but they write. They may participate in events, seminars, and teaching, but for the most part, writing IS their day job. They may be fiction or nonfiction authors.
I suppose there are a dozen other kinds of writers, but these seem to be the main three.
I started out as the first. I wrote my first book as something to simply pass on to posterity. As I got near the end, I decided to clean it up to make it marketable, but by the time it was finished, I discovered something interesting: I absolutely LOVE writing. I love it passionately, every bit as much as I love composing music, sometimes more so.
By the time I completed the first draft of my second book, I was fully converted to the writing life, and determined to write for a career someday.
Only recently have I realized that aiming for some etherial future career isn't going to be enough–not really, anyway. It's not enough to passively write and hope for the best. I've got to make plans, give myself deadlines, and become a serious, SERIOUS author. I may not be able to up and quit my day job, but it's time to stop working for the future and simply BE the author I'd intended to one day become.
I'm not suggesting that one type of author is better than another. Obviously every author will have a different story, focus, and plan.
But as for myself, I choose to be the serious author.

5 Pieces of Overrated Prepper Advice
I'm a skeptic of just about everything. My wife will tell you I was born disgruntled and contrary, so when I hear certain pieces of prepper advice, again and again, I can't help but question it. In no particular order, here are 5 pieces of overrated prepper advice that drive me crazy.
- Stock up on lots and lots of wheat. Okay, we did that and then realized that our family eats very little bread and we feel a lot healthier on lower-carb diets. My wife buys one loaf of Ezekiel bread (tastes like sandpaper to me, but she likes it), keeps it in the freezer, and it lasts for 3-4 weeks.

Cooking & Eating Wild Mustard
Learn about the plants in your area. I live in Northern California and every spring you see acres of yellow flowers. Most people ignore them, but a few of us know that you are looking at wild mustard. This plant is good to eat, and you can make mustard from them.
Some people eat the flowering tops just before they open. They are cooked like broccoli. My wife was raised eating the leaves. The tender young leaves are used for cooked greens or in salads.
To cook wild mustard, wash the greens well and cook in salted water. Wild mustard can be somewhat sharp when raw and somewhat bitter when cooked.…Read More...

The Shelf Life of Dry Sausages
There is a deli not to far from me that stocks nice Italian style dry sausages. They look and taste delicious. I have noticed that he always has them hanging up without refrigeration. I have not been able to get a straight answer as to how long the sausage will store, but I have talked to people who claim it will store for several years.
Dried sausages have been around for thousands of years as a way to preserve meat. The problem with going back to these old-time recipes is that we don't always know what changes have been made in the recipes in the name of quicker and easier production.…Read More...

3 Other Ways to Use Wheat Besides Bread
Lots of us like to store wheat as part of our long-term food storage. It has a long shelf life, it's nutritious, and you can use it to make that beloved staple of Western Civilization: bread. In fact, in Medieval Europe, all other foods – meat and vegetables – were considered, "stuff you eat with bread." However, the ovens the Medieval Europeans used to make this bread were huge, required enormous amounts of fuel, and took most the day to heat up.
We are certainly spoiled with our nice little electric ovens that come up to temperature in less than twenty minutes, but without modern conveniences, how would you bake that bread?…Read More...

7 Reasons to Stock Up On Canned Beans
Beans, bullets, and band-aids. A classic combination for survival. The beans most people store are dried beans, usually stored in big buckets. I have a few of those buckets myself, but over the years, I have also stocked up on plenty of canned beans. I use them in my chili to make the recipe come together faster, but it's a smart idea to stock up on canned beans.
- Long shelf life — Canned beans have a long shelf-life and can be stored at room temperature. I've had canned beans on the shelf for at least 5 years, and they were plenty edible when it came time to use them.

10 Ways to have Hidden Gardens
Gardening is a great way to supplement your food storage. In a post-TEOTWAWKI world, though, there's the possible problem that your neighbors or other people may see it. That could pose a real danger. Hidden gardens are the solution. Gardens are not as hard to hide as you may think, and if you're wondering how that could be possible, the author of this book spells out in detail how anyone can grow their own hidden garden. One easy advantage that we all have is that in today's world, most people have no idea what many edible plants look like.
The first idea that most people come up with is to hide their garden behind a tall fence and a locked gate.…Read More...

Foods Carried on the Oregon Trail
The Oregon Trail was an exhausting, sometimes treacherous, 2,000-mile journey that connected the Missouri River to valleys in Oregon and locations in between. Over half a million stalwart souls were brave enough to leave the relative comfort of civilization at that time and venture off into strange and unknown lands.
We know a surprising amount of the Oregon Trail experience because so many travelers wrote journals, sent letters home, and even wrote books and newspaper articles. True Accounts of Life in a Covered Wagon and Ox-Team Days on the Oregon Trail are vivid, first-person accounts of this harrowing journey.
Most of these pioneers traveled by covered wagons, which were pulled by oxen and horses.…Read More...

POLK COUNTY, Fla. -- Deputies from the Polk County Sheriff's Office are warning citizens about a scam involving computer tech and repairs.
Some victims have already lost up to $15,000.
The scams start with someone speaking with victims by phone. The scammer tells the victim they're eligible for a refund from a notable computer and tech company such as Microsoft. The victim gives the scammer access to their computer, and from there the scammer can access the victim's bank accounts.
Told the refund can be up to $600, the victim will see the bank account increase. The victim doesn't realize the money is coming from another one of their accounts.
The increase is more than the total refund, and the scammer will say they put too much of a refund in the account and become panicked. The scammer's goal is to convince the victim to purchase gift cards to now refund the scammer.
So far, victims in Polk County include a 71-year-old Winter Haven woman who lost $4,000, a 69-year-old Lakeland woman who lost $15,000, a 67-year-old Winter Haven woman who reported she lost $6,000, and a couple in Lake Wales who lost $1,200.
"When it comes to your personal information, it is important to be prudent with who you allow to access it," said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd. "Know exactly who you are dealing with before going forward and doing any business with them."
Anybody who suspects they are being targeted by a scammer is told to ask the person for their name and contact information and let them know they can get back to them.
PCSO also said to try to Google the scenario to see if it comes up as a scam, or go to FBI.gov and USA.gov to look up current scams.
"At the risk of sounding trite, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is," Judd adds.

The Western Stormers remain the only unbeaten side in the Super 15 and notched up their sixth win when they out-muscled the Otago Highlanders 21-6 on Saturday.
The table-topping South Africans showed little evidence of fatigue after the long trip from Cape Town to start their Australasian tour, following a hard-fought win over the Northern Bulls.
Instead they produced a clinical performance built around a fierce defensive effort to inflict the second loss of the season on the Highlanders.
However, the competition leaders continue to find tries hard to come by and with only two against the Highlanders they are the only side in the competition without a bonus point.
However, captain Jean de Villiers said their game is about defence — which the Highlanders were unable to penetrate.
"We pride ourselves on our defence. We work terribly hard at it and we show our commitment to the team through our defence," de Villiers said.
The Highlanders plans to play wide and tire the Stormers pack did not produce the desired result as they were stifled by close marking, and the South Africans complemented their tackling with three decisive intercepts.
The power of Pietersen
Fullback Joe Pietersen, a central figure for the Stormers, landed an early penalty before de Villiers engineered the first try, toeing the ball over the line and Gio Aplon beat Ben Smith in the race for the ball.
When the Highlanders were able to spend meaningful time in the Stormers half they never threatened the line and relied for points on the boot of Chris Noakes, who landed only two of four attempts in the first half.
The Stormers' second try was the result of individual brilliance by Pietersen, who took the ball deep inside his own 22 and split the Highlanders defence with a run to the halfway, where he off-loaded to Juan de Jongh.
Pietersen stayed with the move to take an in-pass from Aplon and chipped past Highlanders fullback Smith to score. Peter Grant's conversion put the Stormers ahead 15-3.
All Blacks halfback Jimmy Cowan came off the bench in the second half for his 100th Super match but not even his milestone appearance could lift the Highlanders, and the only points in the second half came from two Grant penalties to extend the Stormers' lead. — Sapa

As for the size i cant say the clouds were so lit up it made it seem big huge like ten times the size of a large airplane.It looked like there was lights spinning on the bottom different colors i thought it might be a helicopter but it took of so fast in the blink of an eye? Also a few nights later on my side of the lake i saw a white ball of light fly over the trees very low and fast it flew out of my view.
