HOW I BECAME A BURULAB. Subscription: $1.50per^.nnum. QLARE, MICHIGAN.mPAY, JUNE 7,1878 Single Copies: Five Cents, *£": Unless ho would get himself into a "condemned difficulty," as Mantalini would say, I would earnestly ndvise no reader of this veracious experience, who has the good_ estimation of his fellow- man before his eyes, to lease a house for residental purposes in a block where there are precisely two alike. My Masons for* giving this ?dvicc are serious. I was caught in an "ugly scrape," as a police magistrate subsequently assured me, for not carrying out my philosophy in this thing. My excuse is my -wife. And her reason was the exceeding cheapness of the rent, considering the elegance of tho structure and the nearness to business. Those of my friends who reside in that most charming thoroughfare, Two Hundred and Ninety-ninth street, are aware that it possesses many attractions, and one glaring, and, on tho part of the architect, inexcusable fault. The fault is, that from end to end the houses are of brown stone, and each is an night-key—"now, hush! you'll wake Mrs. Screwsir up. If—if you do, Tom, here'll bo the old Harry to pay." Tom promised, and then, boing exceedingly tired, he leaned against the framing of the door until I had inserted the key. I gave the thing a turn and the door ew open. Quietly as we could manage it, we stepped into the front basement. It was not until I had rummaged over half a- dozen shelves, and wondered where Mrs. S. had put- the • matoh-box, that I found a new sort of contrivance, from which I succeeded in getting a match. Striking it against the wall, I ignited it, and then turned on and lit the gas. The moment I had done so, I noticed that tho furniture was somewhat strange to me; but, also knowing what a changeable woman Mrs. S. *was, I paid no further attention to it. "Let's have some supper, Tom," I aid, " and then we'll go to bed. Got a splendid spare room for you." "All right, ole—ole feller," replied my chuni. I managed to get into the back basement, where, upon lighting up the gas, .' found some more strange-looking furniture, and, in a pantry, plenty of .good provender; and, what surprised me more- than all else, a bottle of excellent wine, "Mi's. S.—considerato creature," I murmured, " is in a good humor. She provided for my inner comfort, knowing how wearied I'd be with my lodge duties when I got home." In a few minutes we had, in a quiet way, a famous set-out, and when we had finished tue ropast, including tho wine, there wasn't enough left to encourage a mouse to come out of its hole. "Now, Tom," said I, rising, "come on, and I'll get you a bed." "Yer" well—ver' well—ole—olo- feller, " responded my guest. "Say, Da- Dave Screwsir, th-that's suporb wine— jbio.-;- j Again Tom rested on my arm, and together wo ascended- the broad stairs j lending to tho second story. t My room was at the back of the build- : ing, and that I had assigned to my guest [ in tho front, and on the same flat. I leaned againBt tho balustrade for a | moment, and then, slowly advancing up : the corridor, still fearful of awakening' the "mistress," not knowing in what mood of her temper she might addreBS j me, opened the door. ' There was a light within the chamber. ( In one corner stood the bed. j Pointing it out to Tom, I reclosed the door, glad I had got rid of him so' cheaply, and noiselessly turned my face tears in her eyes and in her voice, to condole with mo. I explained how tlie mistake happened, and sho at onoo saw the reasonableness of-it. She said she would make matters all right, and for mo not to trouble myself. Mrs. S. is a true wife, oven if sho does wear the bifurcated garments. She galled at the wrong " thirteenth; house" in' our street, and explained to the indignant and virtuous old maid who had raised the row and tho subsequent trouble how it happened. It was not of the slightest use. The idea of a man being found in her room at 3 o'olook in the morning was more than—with all her Christian forbearance and known virtue—she could pardon. Wo were promptly tried. 1$ was only by our friends rallying arpsnd iis that we succeeded in proving; previous good charaoter. . ' ,*^ : 35he District Attorney appearedbent on qohyiction, for what rqason I coWd not say, But our counsel fought rn&n- fully for us—tho fees being heavy* ' ' : Finally, the learned Judge charged tho jury. His Honor was explicit. He. intimated to tho gentlemen who were to determine our fate that if they were satisfied that we, tlie indicted, entered the dwelling with felonious intent, it was their duty to tind for tho State; but if they wero not so satisfied, then thoy ware to bring in a verdiot of acquittal 1 Tho wise Judge added: " "It was not for the oourt to pronounce upon the guilt of tho prisoners at the bar. That was the duty of the intelligent jury. The court, however, without expressing it, had the opinion, and it could not too soverely censure men—even if not burglars, in fact, but certainly morally blnmable whether convicted or not—for forcibly entering tho residence of a maiden lady, and unprotected at thnt, in the dead hours of the night, feast and riot at her expense, and then in a most ruffianly mnnner attempt to intrude upon that lady in her private apartments for purposes that wero unquestionably criminal!" Tho Judge scowled at us when ho ?avo utterance to the above words, and felt the blood actually grow cold, and oven congeal in my veins. As for poor Tom Burke, ugly, burglarious as he looked even on ordinary occasions, and who, I knew, would not knowingly harm a fly, I felt that the jury were prejudiced against him. And because he looked tho villain I was satisfied that I was in tho position of dog Tray among tho outlawed criminals. I was growing desperate; conviction Btared mo in the face. I even began to give, trie. Oh, "my prayed that ho will1 that I'll meet him. Before his focojj Turning again tof||: ' I've been wicketftl man that feared at1 the devil; I've beo§^ and murderer.

The thing is not possible. The hilarious gentleman, under such circumstances, may—may, does, make mistakes errors of judgment, let us call them. I know I did, and thereby hangs a tale that's too serious—i. e., in one's mhcT moments—to contemplate without a shudder and a bluBh. _ _ Tom Burke was my cnum. He is not a handsome fellow, I admit. The Indies do not take to him. They say he has a villainous, cutthroat look. But severing jugular veins is about the last thought Thomas entertains. On the contrary, he will empty his pockets for the benefit of a friend, and he will run a mile to serve a stranger. Tom can sing like a nightingale or a thrush, or something of that sort, and ho can drink'' your health, my boy," "until you are glad to slip from your chair and take refuge under the table, leaving him alone in his glory.

"Well, one night, shortly BV*>se(ln0.n* to onr taking up our resider>* m P'datial Two Hundred and Nlnetr-ninth street, I met my old chum ** the club—Mrs. Screwnir, my nark's Screwsir, labors under the impr^sion that it is a lodge of some or*''* °r other that 1 ornament —and T had a jolly good time. Of courff I expatiated on my new house, nn<? about 2 o'clock in the morning I insisted on Tom going homo with me, that he might see it in all its glory. Tom accepted the invitation. "I'll go—go w—with yo—u, ole—ole boy," I remember his saying, as he looked at me through the bottom of a goblet, "to—to the en—ends of the e—a.—earth." So Tom, assuring me that I was a little " off" my legs, took one of my arms andBaunteredtomy new house. Iwasn't in a bit of a hurry. Tom and I, leaning against each as lovingly as a pair of twin-brotherB, Bcanned the heaven b, and expatiated astronomically on the celestial stars until a terrestial one came along and gently hinted that we were encroaching on his orbital path, and that we must move on. We finally got to the corner of Lincoln avenue and my new street, where we again paused. I had an idea. "Tom," said I, very deliberately, "this is a splendid street. But it—it has all the houses alike. It's dark as Tophet, and—and I don't know the number. Now, how—how'll we get at it. Tom?" My friend couldn't enlighten me, "Weil," I continued after a grave pause, "my house is the thirteenth from the corner, but, blow me! if I can say whether it's tho thirteenth one from this or tho other corner, and it's on the south side of iho street, that I know." "fetch's co-count," suggested Tom. We hitched over again, and slowly proceeded on our search. Wheh we got to the ninth house, Tom swore it was the tenth, and so we had to go all over it again. It was not until we had walked backward and forward many times that wo finally agreed that we had reached the thirteenth structure. "Now, ole fel-feller," said I to Tom, confidentially, aa we approached the faont basement door, Ihaving succeeded, after q protracted struggle with my pooket, ia getting possession of my opened into my chamber, a sweet voice, not at all like Mrs. Screwsir's, cried out; "Whatis the matter, aunt? Is one of your beans serenading you ?" When we had reached the street, evdrj" window of every house in -the vicinity was open, and a head or two might be seen, protruding from each, while, at Jhe same time, the air was vocal with the bowlings of the women and the policemen's signals. Alas, we were not destined to get out of our "condemned difficulty" easily. Just as we emerged frpm the, basement of the house we had so innocently enterel a couplo of Goliah-liko policemen caught us and shook us, and then, without giving us an opportunity " to rise Md explain," put handcuffs,"on-ur and hurried us as a "brace oV welt-"' known burglars" to the Hundred and Twentieth Precinct station-house. There, Tom Burke's face and name told fearfully against him. « ' Ab for myself, when I handed in my card as David Screwsir.Esq. ,the Sergeant on duty looked knowingly at me and asked if that was my latest dodge. Of course I repudiated the insinuation, but I was only laughed at for my pains. It was "too thin!" When we had been searched, and everything taken from us and pat away; we were hurried to filthy cells. There we were advised to make ourselves comfortable. In our case, I can assure you, there was anything but " the law's delay." We were examined tho next morning by a fat-headed magistrate, and before sundown ■ the Grand ijusy, wliioh happened to be in session, found true bills against us. Wo 'were, thereon, removed, manacled, to the Toombs, where we were permitted tp? jfpd-of <Snr hurglarjquS;, exploifcih what I had at the time' "supposed was my own house. In this veracious chronicle I learned for the first time what a villain I waa, assuming the. name of a well-known citi-j zen named Screwsir. Poor Tom Burke, it was declared, had his portrait in the rogues' gallery, and he was "well known_to the police," having served two terms in State prison. ' When poor Mrs. Sorewsir read all this, aetshe certainly did-r-^a hind friend having called her attention to the account—she hastened to the Toombs, with _ "6~lffoXTW6\\f5r!5S'S!JHJJH!JP""""""">**" and then I began inwardly to" curseknn man who was so devoid of variety that ho must needs build whole blocks of houses exactly alike. The jury wero absent nearly two hours deliberating, during which my counsel confidently assured me that it looked black for me and my friend, and that the best thing that could be done would bo to ask the presiding Judge to Buspend sentence until certificates of previous good character ceuld be sent into court in mitigation of its severity. Thank Heaven, that was not found necessary! Tho jury finally came in, and the foreman of it remarked that, although there wero certainly suspicious circumstances attending the case, yet a verdict of guilty could not be agreed upon. Upon this the Judge said it was extraordinary that such a conclusion should havebeenarrived at, considering the directness of the statements of the witnesses for tho State ! Wo were discharged. And now, dear reader, if you are anxious to reside in an elegant brown-stone house—one of many > that are exactly alike exteriorly and interiorly—such a one will be found with the ominous words, "To be let" posted on tho door in Two Hundred and Kine- ty-ninih street, near Lincoln avenue. By myself all such hereafter are "tobe let" alone. I've sworn never to rent a house in any street that, on tho same block even, has its counterpart; and then, when inclined to go out of an evening on " lodgo" business, to paste on tho building itself a peculiar form of paper, by which, should I be detained until say 2 or 3 o'cloek in the morning, I may know it indubitably.

Thus there are continually several paddles iu the water all working, at once, instead of only one, as in the ordinary wheel. Purther, these paddles are working in comparatively still water, while with the common wheel the water is churned into foam, and, after a certain point is reached in the swiftness of tho revolutions, speed is lost instead of gained.

After watching them a while, Bowen remarked to a friend that Evans did not know how to dance. EvanB, who was under the iufluencn of liquor, immediately drew a pistol and fatally shot Bowen. He attempted to escape, but was overtaken and captured. His trial, conviction and sentence quickly followed. Through the efforts of his counsels however, tho execution was staved off until tho 10th of May htBt, when t»i« sentence was carried into effect. From a Southern exchange we glean the following particulars of the». hanging,' which, wo are told, was witnessed by sov eral thousand people: "The prisoner was accompanied by several colored preachers, who kept up a constant praying and singing, in which' they were joined, by a large portion of the assembled multitude.

Prior'to the time of Christ it was found in no other language but the Hobrow. Pagans did not make use of it in their idol worship. But with the introduction of Christianity it has found its way into tho languages of all nations, who have received the Christian as their religion. In the Greek, Latin, German and English tongues, it is tho same in orthography, in signification, and, with very slight deviations, also in pronunciation. It has been left uutranslated, and has been transfers d from the Hebrew just as it is found there, because there cannot be found in any language any single word that expresses its precise and complete sense and meaning. 2. IU Sense.—Luther, in hia Smaller Catechism, defines it thus: "Amen, amen, that is, yea yea, it shall be so." Oruden oays of it: "Amen in Hebrew signifies true, faithful, certain." It is used in the end of prayer in testimony/ of an earnest wish, desire, or aBBuranc.o to bo heard; amen, bo it so 1 So Bhall it be." Webster Bays: "Amen, as a noun, signifies truth, firmness, truBt, confidence; as a verb, to conform, establish, verify; as an adjective, firm, stable. In English, after tho Oriontal manner, it is used at tho beginning, but more generally at the end of declarations and prayers in the sense of, be it firm, bo it established." All these definitions agreo in making amen to mean: "Verily, true, certain, be it bo, shall it be." Some ancient forms of ritual have rendered it into English, namely, " Somoto it be." It is used in address by man to his Maker, and by Him to us, and accordingly, as used by either, differs somewhat in application, as must be evident. For man mokes fiwor<», and God bo- stows them; God makes promises, and man pleads them. When man says amen, he claims tho divine assnronce; when God says amen, Ho confirms it.— Lutheran. Odds at Whist. The question is often asked, What are the odds in favor of good play at whist? Hitherto it has generally been stated as about eleven to^ten, but, according to a practical experiment recently made at the Athenaeum, this seems to be somewhat over the mark. On the occasion referred to two tables wero made up. At one four really good playors wero placed. At tho other two good players wero pitted against two bad players, admitted duTTers.

Tlie Bweotest rose has a thorn on the stem, or a worm at the heart of it. The brightest sky has a cloud upon its surface; and the sun itself has dark spots on its iace. There is something to mar the beauty of all our brightest things in this world. But in that world—that city—that place where Jesus is—there will be nothing to mar tho beauty that is seen everywhere. It will all bo " the perfection of beauty." A little girl was gazing up at the starry sky one clear night. She seemed to bo very much occupied in thinldng about something. Her mother said to her, " What are you thinking about, my dear ?" " Oh 1 mamma," she said, "I was thinking if tlie outside of heaven is so beautiful, how vciy beautiful it must be inside.'" A very sweet thought, indeed, and ono wo may often consider ourselves, when we look up at tho sky, on a clear, bright night, and seo how it sparkles in its loveliness. That is the outside of heaven. Sometimes when people nro dying tlie heavenly land, where Jesus is, comes very near them so that they can seo if. before they die. A little boy was dying. His fathor and mother were sitting on one side of his little bed,.and the doctor wns waiting and watching near. He had been silen,t for some time; and* appeared to sleep.' They thought he might pass away as ho slept. But suddenly his blue eyes opened, wide and clear, and a Sweet smile broke over his face. He looked upward very earnestly, and then, turning to his mother, said : " Mother, what is that beautiful land that I see there, beyond the mountains ?" "I don't see any mountains, my dear," said the mother. "Look there, mother dear," ho said, pointing up. "They aro Very near now—so large and high-r-and tho country beyond them seems beautiful I The people ar6 80 huppy, and tliere are no szeifc cliildren there. Is that the heavenly laud I see ?" -•' "Yes, my child," his mother sobbed; "that is the heavenly laud where Jesus dwells." "Oh, mother—Ohj father, don't be sorry fdr-me, but come after mo to that beautiful land. Good- by, mother dear; I'm goingnow, and Jesus has sent His angel to carry hio over the mountains." These were'Ms last words. Ho died in his mother's arms. The angel carried him over the mountains to "see the King in his beauty." But he had caught a glimpse of its brightness before he went away. The beauty of this place is one of the things that will help tO'Biake up the glory or beauty that we Ehall boo in Jesus when wegotoheavon. •—Mehdr'd Newton, JX^Ij, Amen, 1.

Speaking of Jim Eisk ono is reminded of that expression so frequently used by him, " gone where the woodbine twineth." Tho origin of this was rather peculiar. EiBk attended to the sailing of tho Sound steamer every afternoon, and then made direct for his usual haunt of splendid reveliy, which was Delmonico's, in Fifth avenue. His best route brought him to Sixth avenue, corner of Thirteenth Btreet, where stood a building covered with greenery, and called the '' Woodbine." It was a popular drinking houBO, and it is said that some of Eisk'B cronies wero among its patrons. Jt thus became a common thing for him -when asked concerning anyone to reply, "Gone where tbo woodbine tw'neth." This year the Woodbine yie'ds to the inevitable laws of mutation. The houso is demolished and all its memories and associations (to carry out the samo figure) are "gone whero the woodbine twineth."—New York Cor. XJtiaa Herald. Xilulism. The old truth that abstract ideas will in time work themselves out in forms of political combination receives a fresh illustration in the Nihilist conspiracy which now threatens tho peace of Eus- sia. As far as appears, Nihilism, is another name for positivism. It denies the possibility of religious knowledgo,and therefore takes tho Agnostic view of the world and man. As in Christendom all civil institutions, law, marriage, and morals are founded on tho Christian re, ligion, Nihilism has begun war upon these, and in despotio Bussia such a war quickly brings on a cripis. Strange to say, the seeds of Nihilism wero sowed by a novelist—Tourgueneff. The students of tho universities havo been foscinated by this protest against society as now organized in the empire, and Nihilist clubs hove sprnng up in all directions. The Bussian police confess their inability to put down tho clubs.—Harper's Weekly. Singular Deaths. Deaths from strong emotion have been numerous within a few days.

"They were extremely excited when they first found out," said Robin Hooker, executive director of Bartow Area Habitat for Humanity. "They were actually going to be waiting on a house after the first of the year, but then this one came open for them to be able to receive. And they were tickled to death.
"... This is the first [home] that we've dedicated the week of Christmas. So it was very special at the dedication service because we talked about what an honor it was to really give a gift of a house for this family. And they are just extremely excited and blessed and pleased. They are just beside [themselves]."
Built under the guidance of General Contractor Don Liotta with Outside the Box Construction, the four-bedroom, two-bathroom residence — on Fairview Street in Cartersville — will provide shelter for Lowe, her two children and 59-year-old mother. Equipped with handicap-accessible features, the home will better meet the needs of her 5-year-old son, Jezrel, who has been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and is allergic to sunlight and artificial lighting.
"[This will improve our lives] more than you could ever imagine because now I don't have to worry about my son [or worry about] when he's older how [I am] going to get the money up to put the things in the house that he needs, such as the window tint on the windows, the correct lighting, the handicap accessibility to the bathrooms, the showers and stuff like that," Lowe said. "... It's [really a] blessing that we were [selected].
"[Also] my children will be healthy [because] the house is not drafty and it's standing, nothing's falling apart on it. We were renting a trailer [before] and my son and I were having to share a room because he's got medical equipment that I felt like I needed to be right there by so if something went off, I could be there to get it."
For Hooker, being a part of every homeowner's journey — from hearing their initial reactions to presenting them with the keys — is a rewarding experience.
"I always hear, 'I'm so excited, we're getting a new house, my family is going to be excited, my children are going to be thrilled that they have their own bedrooms.' There's multitude of things that we hear whenever families are selected for Habitat houses," Hooker said. "... You [also] see what their ethics are going to be like. You see what they're going to be when it comes to taking care of their home. When you put in time into building a home, it shows after the fact through making their house payments and taking care of their home and things like that.
"It has been an incredible journey [for the Lowes]. Melissa has a very big job to do every single day. Her youngest has to go to many doctors appointments and she travels ... all over taking her youngest to the doctor and she's still been working on Habitat houses. She's worked on several before this one. So she has put forth a tremendous effort to receive this Habitat house and it's an honor for us for her to be able to move in this house."
Since forming in 1984, Bartow Area Habitat for Humanity has constructed about 40 residences.
An average of 150 people apply each year, with 10 percent of their applications being further reviewed. To be approved, applicants need to satisfy various requirements, such as meeting income guidelines, living or working in Bartow County for at least one year, contributing at least 450 hours in their home's construction and being able to pay for their residence. Valued about $140,000, the nonprofit's homes are sold for about $80,000. House payments issued by Habitat range from $400 to $450 a month, which includes taxes and insurance.
"[We are] excited, thrilled and very blessed. ... I thank them from the bottom of my heart because if it wasn't for them, we would not be able to do this and the support that they gave [was wonderful]," Lowe said, referring to Habitat and its volunteers. "I was on the job volunteering with the Habitat home just as much as I was taking my son back and forth to all his doctors appointments, which he has just about every week. ... I'm grateful for everybody that was involved."
The Lowes' home was the second Habitat residence built in 2012 with funding provided by a Community Development Block Grant that was awarded to the city of Cartersville in November 2009. Next year, the nonprofit is planning to construct two homes with financial assistance from the block grant and Anheuser-Busch, Hooker said.
"Without the funds from the community and from our different organizations, we can't build our Habitat houses," Hooker said. "So the need is tremendous in Bartow County. There are so many people living in either tents, homeless conditions, in houses that are totally unacceptable living conditions.
"So all around Bartow County and the city of Cartersville and then every community around the Bartow County area, there's a huge need for adequate housing. And that's what the main goal for Habitat for Humanity is to do is to reduce the substandard living conditions in our community. ... I'm just thrilled that we are building houses in our community and making a difference for Bartow County."
In addition to constructing residences for new applicants, Habitat also will be unveiling two new programs next year to help families needing painting and critical home repairs.

May I encourage all to read this wonderful truth of Truly been Born Again.
The book is more than just 373 pages of print It is The Truth Of Eternal Life. Allow me to explain, I was born into a denomination church (Roman Catholic) I later became at the age of 33yrs of age a bible believing christian and truly felt that I was born again, however after a number of years that fire felt at first, began to grow cold and I became discouaged as I saw repenting day in day out was not giving peace to my heart, I still had the sin problem still the flesh and still my heart was not clean.
I prayed what I thought were the right prayers coming to the cross and pleading the blood and yet instead of progressing in my personal Christian walk It was the opposite. I was so tired weary that I just asked the Lord to help me a sinner to have a clean heart and a right spirit.
It was after some time that I got the answer by clicking on a web site for New Life Mission and receiving this book of Paul C Jong. It is a treasure, it is a joy and it is the way to freedom from sin, not the pages nor the print but The very Message of Salvation is contained the Water and The Spirit.
How to do I review it, I will simply say It IS THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL AS PREACHED BY THE EARLY CHURCH ON THE MEANING OF THE BAPTISM OF JESUS AND HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS, it is the whole remission of sin, past present and future. I ASSURE YOU DEAR READER IT WILL CHANGE YOUR HEART AND MAKE IT CLEAN AND IT WILL GIVE YOU A JOY IN YOUR LIFE THAT WILL ALLOW YOU SUCH PEACE THAT YOU ARE NOW RIGHTEOUS AND WITHOUT SIN.
People who have read our books have sent the following reviews.
It is our hope that through them, you would all share with each
other the grace of God that has enabled us to be born again of water
and the Spirit.

how do the nitro cams compare to the cat 1.5 cams as far as draw and valley feel ?
how do the nitro cams compare to the cat 1.5 cams as far as draw and valley feel ?
I think Barry (BFisher) has shot both cams. He is very helpful around here in will chime in if he has any info for you. I'm sure some others have too but I don't have any names for you.

Advantage Custom Strings
ArcherX7 has explained it pretty well, but there is a terminology problem in the Martin catalog that people should be aware of. The Nitro/Hybrix cams (1.5 or 2.0) are not a hybrid cam. They are binary cams. There is a difference. Martin did at one time (2004-2005) make a hybrid cam system called True-Arc and then True-Arc+ that was not very popular.
Hybrid cams have never piqued my interest much. In fact, I much prefer a true dual cam over the Binary system, but I prefer the Binary to the single cam system. Personal choice.

Through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, Tallatoona CAP offers the ability to pay a one-time amount on a heating bill to those who have a demonstrated need.
"Basically Tallatoona serves eight counties with this assistance," Community Services Director April Rogers said. "They're federal funds and they're passed down to the state and given to community action agencies to help with heating bills during the winter months.
"In saying that, we serviced about 15,022 people and the
program allows for us to pay low-income people's heating bills with a one-time payment of either $310 or $350. It's just a one-time payment, but it does help with those higher energy costs in the winter time. So it does help out. They do have to be income eligible, which is based off the federal poverty levels."
Though the program began Nov. 1, 2013, and continued into December, Rogers said her organization received a third amount of money this year from Congress.
"We're allocated a certain amount of funds and then we were allocated an additional amount of funds, and we just received notice of an additional amount of funds. I think that could be due to the extremely cold temperatures that a lot of the states [saw]. I can't say that for sure, but my thought is that Congress said, 'Hey, we're really getting hit hard by the cold temperatures, maybe we need to put some more money in.'"
Since Nov. 1, Rogers estimated that Tallatoona Cap had assisted 1,500 people in Bartow County. With the new infusion of funds, she believed another 300 to 400 residents could be assisted.
In addition to Bartow County, Tallatoona CAP serves Cobb, Douglas, Floyd, Gordon, Haralson, Paulding and Polk counties.
To schedule an appointment for heating assistance, which does not guarantee processing or payment, those interested are asked to call either 770-817-4666 or 770-773-7730. The call lines are a new approach for Tallatoona, Rogers added.
"We started a different approach because we didn't want people standing out in the cold at 3 [a.m.] — they would stand out there at 3 o'clock in the morning to get in line in front of our offices," she said. "We would experience people fighting, breaking in line, shoving. We had to have security there, so we're attempting a different approach with a call center. You can only make an appointment by phone, Internet, that sort of thing, so we got away from those kind of hazardous conditions."
For the current period, appointments can only be made via phone, Rogers said.
"We are taking additional calls for appointments now. We turned off our waiting list and [started] taking calls. We're actually calling folks from those waiting lists, as well as taking calls through our call center to do scheduling. We don't have our online scheduling up right now," she said.
Of the counties Tallatoona CAP serves, Bartow County is in the top three.
"I'll tell you, we have eight counties and, of course, Cobb County is the largest county ... but I would say Bartow is one of our top three counties as far as being busy. They actually, next to Cobb ... Bartow and Floyd are tied for second place in demand," Rogers said. "We're having a lot of calls because people are getting really high bills due to the weather. They're not used to that.
"A lot of our seniors, we have a lot of calls from people who have life-threatening crisis situations. They need their electric service because they're plugged into oxygen. We get a lot of homebound people. I actually go to homebound clients' houses to do applications so we can help them."

Antique Sterling Silver Bangle
Strong design stands out in any period of jewelry. Here in the later Victorian period, the Aesthetic Movement with its tapestry of floral and nature-inspired motifs is combined with bold geometry in a zig zag pattern. Sterling silver is the medium and is accented by touches of rose gold (for the flower heads) and yellow gold (for some leaves). Deep engraving is employed for stems and cross-hatching as well as geometric definition.
Wide and dramatic, the bangle measures 1-3/8 inches wide (3.8 cm) and will fit a wrist 7 inches or less in diameter. In very good condition; there is light wear on the reverse with some surface wear, tiny scratches and three minute indentions; the interior shows patina and light wear. Closes tightly and securely. Hallmarked "sterling silver" and dates to circa 1900 - 1910. Fantastic on, a very fine example of the silver bangle popular from about 1870 to 1910.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (July 19, 2012)—Acclamation, a three-time winner of the Grade I Charles Whittingham Memorial Handicap at Betfair Hollywood Park, will make his second start of 2012 in the $300,000 Eddie Read Saturday at Del Mar.
A Grade I at 1 1/8 miles on turf, the Eddie Read is the third of 10 races. Post time at Del Mar is 2 p.m. Track gates at Betfair Hollywood Park will open at 10 a.m. for simulcasts.
Owned by breeders Bud and Judy Johnston and Peter and Mary Hilvers and trained by Don Warren, Acclamation is the defending champion in the Read. If he wins again Saturday, he would become the fourth two time winner of the race, joining Special Ring (2003-2004), Fastness (1995-1996) and Wickerr (1981-1982).
The 2011 champion older male, Acclamation, a 6-year-old son of Unusual Heat, won the Whittingham by one length June 9 in his first race since taking the Grade II Clement L. Hirsch last Oct. 2 at Santa Anita.
The victory was the sixth in a row for the California bred. He's won 10 of 29 lifetime and earned $1,778,048.
Patrick Valenzuela, who is 3-for-3 with Acclamation, will again have the mount as the bay seeks his third win in his sixth start over the Del Mar grass.
His four opponents include Whittingham runner-up Slim Shadey, who is back in two weeks after finishing fifth as the 2-1 favorite in the Grade I United Nations at Monmouth Park.
From inside out, the field for the 39th Eddie Read: Hog's Hollow, Rafael Bejarano rides, 119 pounds; Interaction, Brice Blanc, 119; Acclamation, Patrick Valenzuela, 123; Casino Host, Joe Talamo, 121 and Slim Shadey, Garrett Gomez, 122.

Satellite Notes for 1800UTC chart on 22 October 2014
Issued at 5:29 am EDT Thursday on 23 October 2014
Cloud areas and some thunderstorm activity is evident over inland New South Wales and eastern Victoria. This is caused by a surface trough that links to a cold front near to the east of Tasmania. Low cloud in the wake of this system is over the Bight and adjacent coast.
High cloud streaming in over central Western Australia and the western Bight is due to an upper level jet stream. Thunderstorm activity is also evident near the southwest of WA associated with another surface trough and low pressure system.
Low cloud over the North Tropical Coast of Queensland is from a moist onshore airstream while other areas remain relatively cloud free.

Found a new one on the rack for a good price. It has 2010 limbs and new bow warranty but I wonder. I didn't shoot it cus I'm a lttle compulsive about such things. If it shot as good as it looks and feels I'd probably pounce.
Knowing what you all know about the limb issues with these would you considder shooting it or hope for a ~35'' ATA Martin somithingorother in the future?

Victorian Pietra Dura Pendant Locket
The ancient technique of pietra dura was revived in Italy in the sixteenth century and subsequently spread through Europe. Pieces of variously shaped and colored marbles as well as precious and semi-precious stones were inlaid and placed into patterns on vases, furniture and jewelry. Landscapes and even portraits were sometimes rendered using this technique.
According to jewelry expert Christie Romero, a bed of black marble was used as the foundation for these Florentine hardstone mosaics which usually displayed floral motifs. Frequently purchased unmounted by wealthy Victorian era tourists on holiday or tour and brought back to Paris or London where they were transformed into jewelry such as the locket presented here.
A pietra dura mosaic of a bouquet of flowers and leaves is displayed in vivid color and detail against a background of black marble. Open and budded snowdrops of glistening white join violets of turquoise blue as a backdrop for a rose in the process of blooming, unfolding in a variety of pinks. The green stems and leaves are rendered in such a manner that even the veins are apparent.
A fine silver and rose gold frame surrounds the piece. Fantastically constructed of reeded and banded silver and accented with gorgeous appointments of rose gold.

Each competitor in the annual Lloyd C. Engel Wrestling Tournament is seeded during the first day into one of four brackets for Saturday's matches, topped by A Bracket qualifiers.
Patterson coach Lee Scoles took nine of his varsity athletes to the two-day competition and saw three vault into various medal rounds.
"This was a tough tournament for our kids, and the largest one we've been to this season," Scoles said. "In the end, our kids ended up wrestling against opponents with similar abilities. It was a good experience for our team."
Sophomore Daniel Cota (126 pounds) picked up a third-place victory in the A Bracket when he pinned his opponent.
"There were no easy matches at this tournament," Scoles said. "Daniel wrestled incredibly tough and smart, and that hard work paid off for him in the end."
Patterson senior Joey Howard saw his first tournament action since he was sidelined by a leg injury during competition in the James Riddle Classic on Dec. 8 at Oakdale High School.
Howard (145) made his way to the winner's circle Saturday following his second-place finish in the C Bracket.
"This was probably the toughest weight class in the division," Scoles said. "Joey was able to wrestle with his head. He found a way to get points without exposing himself."
Austin Lewis, a sophomore 145-pounder, came away with a third-place nod in the D Bracket.
"Austin continues to make improvements — mostly mental ones," Scoles said. "I see the things he's able to do, and he's becoming a better wrestler with each experience on the mat."
Patterson junior Manuel Cruz (138) just missed qualifying for the A Bracket medal round.
"Manuel didn't medal, but he was a highlight for our team at this tournament," Scoles said. "In any other tournament, the performance he gave would have earned him a medal."
Hard work on the practice mats, relating to both muscle and effort, was evident during the weekend event, Scoles said.
"I'm pleased with the way our kids wrestled at the tournament," Scoles said. "Most of our wrestlers are starting to peak at the right time. I feel good about the way we are competing."
The Western Athletic Conference season continues at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 23, as Patterson (1-3 WAC) hosts Pacheco High of Los Banos.
Los Banos 60, Patterson 16
Patterson lost a WAC dual meet at Los Banos High on Jan. 9.
While Scoles was disappointed by the team's third straight league defeat, he said his wrestlers appeared to be in a good frame of mind heading into the home stretch.
"Los Banos didn't just walk over us," Scoles said. "Wrestling outcomes aren't the same as other sports like basketball. This was a very competitive match all the way through. We can feel good about how we competed."
Los Banos — the league's top-ranked squad — won 10 of the 14 individual matches, eight of them by pin and two by forfeit.
Patterson won one match by pin and three by decision.
The home team won five individual matches in a row before Cota, wrestling in the 126-pound weight class, scored for his team with a pin against Josh Bustamonte.
Cruz defeated Gabriel Mendoza of Los Banos 13-4 in the 138-pound match, and Howard (145) followed with a 5-1 decision against Andrew Cintora, but Los Banos took four of the next five matches.
Sophomore Eloa Chadwick (170) also earned a decision for the Tigers.
"This loss isn't the end of the world," Howard said. "Los Banos is a tough opponent every year. Right now, we're focusing on our next opponent and getting ready for the league tournament."
Junior varsity: Patterson 34, Los Banos 30
The JV Tigers (4-0 WAC) notched three pins en route to victory against Los Banos.
Patterson's Joseph Ruelas pinned Carla Diaz at 145 pounds; Zeke Miranda followed with a pin of Harbir Dhillon at 160; and 170-pounder Brad Gill pinned Elizabeth Pelayo.
Tony Halcon (126), Ethan Schut (132) and Adam Melo (152) beat their Los Banos opponents by decision.
