I am a frustrated customer. First of all the bed came in great time and is definitely a two person job. Also, they have live assistance who will help you with questions as you put the bed together. Yet, one of the screws broke as we put the bed together (the wood was very difficult to get through on one side of the bed) and the screws we ordered were NEVER delivered. We went to the hardware store and bought our own screws and put the bed together. Then in the middle of the night I hear a CLUNK and look under the bed to see the middle support leg FELL OFF. The inside of the leg that screws on came off and the leg just fell of the bed. We ordered new legs and after 2 weeks of waiting they finally came and they were black instead of wood colored which was weird because the ones we had were wood colored so we thought we had had the wrong legs to begin with... WRONG. They sent us the wrong legs which we learned after we put them on and realized they were too BIG AND regardless one of those legs was broken! It wouldn't screw in all the way! SO my bed was wobbily and broken so we had to put the old (broken) legs back on the bed so that I have somewhere to sleep and I had to call yet again to get new legs to be delivered and just HOPE that these ones are the correct legs and are actualy usable! If I could go back in time I probably would not buy this bed. Save your time and spend a little more money and maybe get something that you can put together in one shot and have it for years. The wood is fantastic, you don't need a box spring (coming from a girl with metal rods in her back so you know I mean business) and the color is great but with all of these issues all in all it just doesn't seem worth it. The bed is nice...maybe you'll have better luck than me.
I read all the reviews before ordering this and felt confident that I had made a well-informed buy... I was so so wrong. First of all, I was missing a few parts. Secondly, one of the end boards didn't have threading AT ALL so I had to go and buy material to put in the hole to allow the screw to stay and tighten and then buy l brackets to ensure that it worked. Also, the center support rail was cracked when we took it out of the box and the 3 support posts that go down the middle were too short and didn't even touch the ground. Now we're going to have to buy a piece of plywood to place inside of it so we don't break all of the supports. I'm so upset about this, I could cry.
I felt for the words "Scandinavia", "Materials: Solid Wood, Mixed Hardwoods" and "Sturdy design and construction" and learned my lesson of buying such things online. Material is just simple and cheap engineered wood and it broke in the first night with two people on it. Despite the reviews I did not choose the warranty and protection plan, so I am left with a expensive firewood. Overstock.com? Never again.
Got this as a Christmas present for my daughter. My wife was hesitant about ordering furniture online. After checking around town, we could not find anything that matched the quality, features and price. Love the fact that it's all solid wood. The finish is beautiful. Very minimalistic - but sturdy and functional. Also, got the mattress for this frame from Overstock - love it too!!!
After reading so many great reviews on this product, I took a chance and I regret it big time. There were missing directions so I had to wait for Overstock to send them to me. After setting the bed up, it appeared to be sturdy and looked decent. After 4 NIGHTS, I heard some loud cracking noises. I got up and noticed that the end (bottom) of the bed was sagging. Upon lifting up the mattress, two of the three support legs were broken and off to the side. I took the mattress off and lifted the frame up. I could clearly see that the support rail was cracked and all three legs were broken (the third support leg was very lose and on it's way to being broken). I wrote to Overstock and hope that they will be very responsive to this issue. I would really like to get my mattress off of the floor and back on a functioning bed frame. After all, I did pay for this product and I expect it to work as expected. ***To Be Continued**Sidenote: I found this bed on the distributor's website and noted that the newer Stockholm Bed has 4 support legs that appear to be of more durable construction. Interesting.
I'm tardy in my review of this product, and it has been about 5 months since I assembled it and the frame is still tight and strong. Although the directions are poorly written, they are coherent enough to construct the frame-which took about 30 minutes for two people. I will include the caveat that you should GO SLOW and READ the instructions to the point of understanding them. I'm not thrilled with the "bones" of the frame and how it is constructed, but I can't really complain since it is working great and looks good to boot. There is ample room underneath the frame for shoe boxes or other storage and the price of it makes this a real value.
The bed itself is OK. The assembly was easy, e But the issue I had was that the bed didn't come with a headboard. In every picture it had one, and I read every piece of documentation and it wasn't mentioned. When they ask me for the color of wood, I was sure they were asking about the headboard, but apparently were for the side rails. So overall very disappointed ,
Really like my new bed frame. Love the curved legs. Attached my new roll and tuck cream linen headboard and new queen mattress aand box springs that I also got from Overstock.com. Ready to hibernate in first class style and comfort!! Love it all!!!!
easy to assemble; well finished; great modern styling at an affordable price

The fluorescence lifetime of the donor molecule will become shorter -- from 3 nanosecond to, perhaps, 2.5 nanoseconds. We then interpret this as evidence that the two proteins of interest are physically interacting with each other -- a molecular signaling event.

BIG RAPIDS – In case you hadn't heart, we have one of the best-kept secrets in all of NCAA Division II softball right here in our backyard.
Our Ferris State University softball team is ranked sixth in the nation and off to a 16-2 start following a sweep of archrival Grand Valley State University on Monday afternoon. The Bulldogs defeated the traditionally-strong Lakers 3-2 (in extra innings), in the first game, and finished the sweep with a 6-1 victory in game two. The game originally was scheduled to be played on Sunday, but was moved back to Monday in anticipation of inclement weather.
In talking with head coach Keri Becker following the game, she attributed her team's strong start to two areas – beyond mere talent: (1) strong pitching and (2) good defense. Coach Becker has had few issues in either area and when the team has been hitting well it has been virtually unbeatable this season.
If you get a chance to watch the Bulldogs on the diamond this season it's probably something you will not want to miss. The team is next scheduled to be at home on Saturday (April 4) when it hosts Lake Superior State in a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m. at the FSU Softball Field.
Come out and support our nationally-ranked Bulldogs, the defending 2008 NCAA Division II Great Lakes Region champions.

- The Method
- Practitioners/Classes and Events
- Resources/Publications
- The Profession
By Catherine Mitchell, GCFP
There's a paradigm shift happening today. More and more people are realizing we "think" with our bodies. This shift recognizes the power of learning from inside and not just our heads.
For over 100 years, education has focused on teaching from our heads. Now a revolutionary look at how the body helps children understand information is coming alive in schools.
Our bodies are one big sense organ developing memory and perception. Ken Robinson reminds educational specialists, "A good deal of brain activity is not apparent to the conscious mind. Much of its work is a silent traffic with the rest of the body's automatic functioning…" (Robinson, 2001, p. 99). Children prove this fact.
After teaching adults for thirty years, I got the great honor to work with kids. They got it- immediately! Children can still sense the magnitude of how sensations color our perceptions. After all, 85% of children are kinesthetic, meaning they move to think. They learn by sensations first, thinking second.
How can movement change what we think? Based on the Feldenkrais Method®, "movement" is redefined to mean life. Different than an improvisational dance or exercise, this movement with attention to the sensations fine tunes the process self-inquiry through the body. Like any x-ray machine, sensations triggered by motion make nothing hidden, physically or emotionally. This kind of "movement" magically shows awareness from a whole new perspective.
Katie, a 2nd grader, got a glimpse of what her body does with her brain. The good news is that even though it was only a glimpse, as the insight continues to unfold, it can change her future choices. On her journey, she had to look inside herself. This was foreign territory for Katie until the One Winged Butterfly lesson, a movement lesson that teaches compassion and balance inside and out. This type of movement, based on the Feldenkrais Method, isn't like a traditional exercise class.
The Method uses movement as a vehicle to get information from our bodies about our brains. That's right, it switches around how to think about movement. Adults often say after this kind of movement, "I feel different, like the person I was when I was younger."
Katie, though a child, acted old. "I can't do this!" she pouted in class.
It was true, the lesson was challenging. It invited a movement that most children, or adults for that matter, missed in development the first year of their lives. In the One Winged Butterfly lesson, the head and pelvis learn to find each other and balance off each other. This gives us a sense of stability and foundation between the upper and lower body. This sensation of stability also supports confidence and self esteem.
With this lesson, children have to feel the physical weight and motion of the pelvis in relation to the head and vice–a–versa. The physical sensation between parts automatically starts to change areas of tension in the torso. Physical sensations and attitude change together when the whole body gets involved with its parts.
This action of rolling to sitting is similar to a movement an infant does. But when Katie tried it, her hip joints were stiff. She tumbled to the side like a rock the moment her foot lifted more than four inches off the floor. She growled. I wondered how her hip joints related to her attitude?
Katie's body looked like she'd missed this movement. She couldn't sit up comfortably. While sitting on the floor, holding onto her feet, her clam shaped spine showed that her hip joints were locked. With her head cocked backwards, looking out the bottom of her eyes, she complained, "I can't do this!" and crawled to the corner of the mat.
Her attitude and body mirrored each other; mind and body were locked in the same position. How we move casts a reflection of our history on our muscles. Our motor patterns feel the sensations of our dynamic doings. (Motor patterns are different than motor skills. Motor skills fine-tune an action. Motor patterns and their function develop perception.)
Chas, an obese 3rd grader, also couldn't do the movement. But though his body was stiff, his attitude was full of giggles. He flew one leg up in the air while holding onto his foot, then tipped to the side, and landed on his elbow, reminding me of a kid on a circus ride. Reversing the movement seemed impossible to him, but that didn't stop him. He persevered tumbling and giggling until, "POP!" To his surprise, he came up to sitting.
The key to this lesson is to expand awareness among body parts and how they move. Then take a step further into the feelings and thoughts behind these parts. Movements teach psychological processes through the connection our bodies' have to our brain. To bring the awareness inside, the kids have to find enough patience and compassion for themselves to "muck about." Chas kept mucking about, playing with the joy of a puppy.
The room was filled with giggles, except in Katie's corner of the mat. There she sat, curled on the floor, pouting. If a whole posture could protrude into the belly of a lower lip, she mastered it. There "it" is: perception wired into the motor patterns of body and attitude. "I can't do this! I can't do this!" she whined, crawling off the mat and under the table.
"Katie, no one can do it at first. Everyone plays with the movement to find their way of doing it," I replied.
She wasn't listening. "I can't!" she stated again.
Meanwhile, Chas was still grinning and giggling. After trying again and again, though chubby and out of shape, he was now gracefully rolling to his side and back up to sitting.
The process of movement is more important then the goal. Awareness of how we are with ourselves physically and emotionally is key. Each time he tumbled onto his back, Chas fine tuned his balance. By the end of the lesson he could stay balanced all the way down, tipping slowing to his elbow and back up to sitting.
I walked over to Katie's and squatted below the table. "Katie, have you ever had a new born puppy?"
"Yes," she replied letting go of her feet.
"Did the puppy ever go potty in your house?" I asked, sitting on the mat facing her.
She giggled, "Yes."
"Did you get as mad at the puppy as you are getting to yourself right now?"
She looked at me with eyes of wonder. It never occurred to her that she was the one being so hard on herself. "Imagine you're a little puppy learning something new. If you don't get it right away, would the puppy give up?"
I went on getting a bit too philosophical, "There will be times we want to give up. If those times happen every day, it is up to us to see what we are doing that is getting in the way."
This didn't really make any sense to a six year old. Though there was a glimpse of curiosity, her body's motor patterns were still stuck in the attitude, "I can't." But she tried it again.
"See? I can't," she whined.
Monitoring her level of frustration, I decided to give her more clues to what was happening inside her. I guided Katie to release her neck and head, as that was where her body held the attitude of "helplessness." While holding her feet, I tilted her head towards a knee as she rolled to her side. Her neck tried to lock again as she mumbled, "I can't."
To understand the engineering of the spine, think of the Golden Gate Bridge. The spine is like a suspension bridge. One end of the bridge affects the movement at the other end. Both Katie's lower and upper spine and neck were locking up her hip joints.
"Let go of the attitude 'I can't.' It is getting you stuck. Let go of your head."
Katie did it. She was shocked…and elated!
"Ok let me try on my own?" she stated as a question.
She tried lifting her foot and this time her foot rose two feet above the ground before she fell over. Though she did better, Katie couldn't make it back up to sitting without letting go of her feet. It didn't matter. Her attitude shifted and so did some of the tension in her hip joints.
Class was over and we all met for the closing. Katie was disappointed again. First, her frustration made her want to give up. Then, it took playtime away. She wanted to continue the movement once she got the hang of it. I called her over to the circle.
Sitting in a circle, the kids commented they felt taller. I asked them what changed? They weren't sure. We laid down in "Pancake Body" to see if we could feel any differences. Most everyone felt "the floor got softer."
We talked about our process and how our bodies affect our minds. "When we get stuck in a movement, it can be very frustrating," I mentioned trying not to look at Katie.
I continued, "If we don't give up, we have more time to play around with what we want to learn." I wanted Katie to become aware of how often her anger took away her joy.
"Let's see if we can play with even our homework. Find a new way to play with struggles. See if playing helps us not give up. This movement lesson isn't just about rolling on the floor. It's about looking at how we are in home and school, too!"
Katie raised her hand. "But I didn't know how to do it?"
I asked Chas, "Did you know how to do it when you started?"
He nodded, "No."
"Pat, did you know how to do the movement when you started?"
Pat nodded, "No."
"Wendy did you?"
I asked each child in the class.
"Katie, did you know how to do the movement when you started?"
Katie nodded no, but this time she had a smile on her face.
Katie learned awareness about her attitude from the movement in her body. Learning awareness from the movement helped her step back and view herself from a different perceptive.
Moshe Feldenkrais knew how to make movement in our bodies change how we think. To affect the brain, the movement has to change the character of motor patterns. When we feel the concreteness of how we move, we see our experiences wired in motor patterns.
This type of awareness allows for compassionate understanding of how motor patterns get addicted to attitude… and attitude gets addicted to motor patterns. The more addicted we are to who we think we are, the more entrenched the motor pattern. Behavior, mentally or emotionally, changes when motor patterns are reeducated. With a trained eye, a teacher analyzing movement can recognize how children think and, thus, need to learn. Moshe Feldenkrais explains, "… it is possible to analyze a personality solely by the study of his muscular behaviour" (Feldenkrais, 1979, p. 35).
Let's help children begin life with awareness. Sensing our physical movement patterns presents awareness of the grand mirrors of perception, fiercely determined to help us recognize what we did that got in the way of who we truly are… "awareness."

Garden City Recreation Director Kevin Ocker enabled residents to take a closer look at the black, estate-style fencing proposed for the fields at St. Paul's during a brief presentation Dec. 2 at village hall. The fence, which received mixed reviews by both residents and board members, is just one feature suggested in Phase III of the St. Paul's Open Space Improvement Project. The cost of the five-foot fence, which would run along Stewart Avenue and a section of Rockaway Avenue, would be directly offset by a $90,000 commitment Senator Kemp Hannon was able to secure when the Senate and Assembly passed the 2004-05 state budget. "The village would be reimbursed for this particular item," Village Administrator Robert Schoelle, Jr. said.
Garden City Middle School Principal Peter Osroff will discuss middle level philosophy at the board of education work session Monday, Dec. 13, at 8:15 p.m. in the administration building on Cathedral Avenue. Osroff spoke about "Transformation into a True Middle School-Restructuring Based on Middle Level Philosophy" at the NYS Middle States Association Annual Conference Oct. 22.
The Garden City Wings Middle School ice hockey team, better known as the Freshman Wings, is well into its eighth season. New to the team this year will be the addition of sixth graders to the roster. The change was initiated this past August by governing body, the High School Hockey League of Nassau County. Last season's eighth grade players moved up to varsity, leaving this year's freshman team with one veteran, Team Captain Tom Greco.
'Tis the season to send letters to Santa, and the recreation department will help speed up the process. A special Santa's Mailbox is now set up in the village hall lobby. Children can drop their letters in this mailbox and Santa will send them a reply. All letters must be received in the mailbox no later than 4 p.m. Dec. 20 to ensure a reply. All letters must contain a legible address; no postage is necessary.

text: HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn August 18, 2012, about 1023 eastern daylight time, an experimental amateur built FW-190 ½ scale replica, N149AM, registered to a private individual, crashed near the approach end of runway 13 at Columbus Metropolitan Airport (CSG), Columbus, Georgia. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 personal, local flight from CSG. The airplane sustained substantial damage, and the commercial pilot, was fatally injured. The flight originated from CSG about 1018.An individual who spoke with the accident pilot before takeoff stated they never discussed how much fuel was on-board, nor did the pilot mention to him any malfunction of the aileron flight controls. Rather, the individual commented to the accident pilot about the short wing span and that the aileron flight controls must be "kind of touchy" to which the accident pilot said "yes a little touchy."The pilot was cleared to taxi to runway 24, and according to a transcription of communications, at 1018, the local controller cleared the pilot for takeoff left traffic runway 24, and advised him that the wind was from 290 degrees at 5 knots. The pilot acknowledged the takeoff clearance and left traffic instruction from the controller. The pilot remained in the traffic pattern for runway 24, and about 1020:42, the pilot advised the controller that he was turning left base for runway 24, to which the controller cleared the pilot for the option runway 24 and advised the wind was from 310 degrees at 5 knots. The pilot acknowledged the instructions from the controller at 1020:53, and about 1 minute 13 seconds later or at 1022:06, the pilot advised the controller he intended to land on runway 13, and, "…I've a little power loss." The controller who was communicating with the pilot later reported during an interview with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector-in-charge that immediately after executing a touch-and-go landing for runway 24 or at a point located before the intersection of runways 6/24 and 13/31, the pilot turned right for downwind for runway 13.Witnesses reported seeing the airplane when it was north of runway 06/24 and east of runway 13/31, turn onto the downwind leg for runway 13.The transcription of communication further indicates that at 1022:22, the pilot advised the controller that he intended to land on runway 13, and again advised of a loss of engine power. The controller cleared the pilot to land on runway 13, and later reported observing the pilot turn onto a short left base.One witness reported first seeing the airplane when it was near taxiway D4, and noted the airplane was about 200 to 300 feet above ground level, and banked to the left then flew over hangars flying towards the approach end of runway 13. The witness reported that to him the engine sounded as if it were operating on 3 cylinders instead of 4, and also described, "…engine was running rough not sputtering…" and that the engine did not seem to be developing full power. The witness did not notice any smoke trailing the airplane. Another witness heard the pilot announce of the CTAF "power failure" and ran outside.Two witnesses who were outside on the ramp near the approach end of runway 13 reported that the airplane flew over their position between 250 and 300 feet above ground level, and one of the witnesses who is an airframe and powerplant mechanic described hearing a reduced power setting which to him sounded like the engine was operating between 1,200 and 1,300 rpm. The witness reported seeing the airplane bank to the left at what was described as nearly 90 degrees of bank, followed by the nose pitching down. The other witness reported that as the airplane neared the approach end of runway 13, the airplane was in a "pretty good turn to the left." The witness noted that the left wing dipped down, followed by stall, the nose pitching down, and subsequent impact. No sputtering sounds or smoke was observed trailing the airplane by any witnesses.A fixed base operator located on the airport near the approach end of runway 13 with a security camera positioned to their ramp recorded a portion of the uncontrolled nose low descent during the final seconds of flight. No components were noted separating from the aircraft during the nose-low descent.PERSONNEL INFORMATIONThe pilot, age 71, held a commercial pilot certificate with ratings for airplane single engine land, airplane multi-engine land, and instrument airplane. He also held a certified flight instructor certificate with ratings for airplane single engine, airplane multi-engine and instrument airplane. He held a third class medical certificate with limitations issued on April 14, 2011.The pilot's wife reported finding a pilot logbook which indicated her husband had accrued 13,000 hours flight time.AIRCRAFT INFORMATIONThe single seat wood structured airplane was built by a private individual in 1996, as a ½ scale Focke-Wulf (Fw) 190, and was designated serial number M2649. It was powered by a 100 horsepower Continental O-200-A engine and equipped with a three-bladed composite propeller. It was equipped with a manually retractable main landing gear and fixed tail wheel. The flight control system for pitch and roll was controlled by push/pull rods, while the flight control system for yaw was controlled by cables. The fuel supply system consisted of a 13 to 14 gallon gravity fed fuel tank that connects via hoses and lines to the carburetor through components consisting of a fuel shutoff valve, fuel strainer, and electric fuel pump.No airworthiness files for the accident airplane existed at the FAA Aircraft Registry located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The Aircraft Registry did however have a registration file with the first document historically being an Affidavit of Ownership for Amateur-Built Aircraft from the builder which was dated April 29, 1996. The affidavit reflected the make, model, and serial number of the engine, which was the same engine installed at the time of the accident. Additional documents contained in the registration file consisted of a bill of sale to the accident pilot dated April 27, 2012, and an aircraft registration application in the accident pilot's name dated June 12, 2012.The builder/previous owner reported to NTSB that when the airplane was sold to the accident pilot, it was not equipped with a fuel quantity gauge. He initially reported that he did not give a fuel dipstick he made to the accident pilot when it was sold; however, he later stated that he did give the accident pilot the fuel dipstick. The builder/previous owner also reported that when he built it, a fuel sending unit was installed in the fuel tank; however, the sending unit never worked so he disabled it. When asked how he disabled it he reported he could not recall. The builder/previous owner was asked about stall speeds and reported the power-off stall speed with the landing gear down was 72 to 73 miles-per-hour (mph), and the typical approach speeds in the traffic pattern on the base leg was 100 mph, and over the runway threshold was 85 to 90 mph. He was also asked if he had ever performed spins in the accident airplane and he reported he had performed two. He indicated that during coordinated flight, the airplane stalled straight forward with, "good size buffet before the wing stalled", and spins became, "very tight very quick." Since building the airplane, he replaced the hour meter when the airplane total time was less than 100 hours. At the time of the sale, he estimated the airplane total time was between 140 and 150 hours. The maintenance records were reportedly given to the new owner/accident pilot at the time of the sale.The maintenance records were not located during the postaccident investigation.METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATIONA surface observation weather report taken at the accident airport at 1051, or approximately 28 minutes after the accident indicates the wind was from 300 degrees at 8 knots, the visibility was 10 miles, clear skies existed. The temperature and dew point were 28 and 21 degrees Celsius, respectively, and the altimeter setting was 29.97 inches of Mercury.COMMUNICATIONSThe pilot was in contact with the Columbus Metropolitan Airport air traffic control tower at the time of the accident. There were no reported communication difficulties.AIRPORT INFORMATIONThe Columbus Metropolitan Airport is a tower controlled facility and has 2 runways designated 6/24 and 13/31. Runway 24, which was the runway the pilot initially departed from is 6,997 feet long and 150 feet wide, while runway 13, which was the pilot's intended runway is 3,997 feet long and 150 feet wide.With respect to runway 24, approximately 1,638 feet of runway remain at the intersection of that runway and runway 13/31.WRECKAGE AND IMPACT INFORMATIONThe airplane crashed on airport property in close proximity to the approach end of runway 13. Further examination of the accident site revealed an impact scar associated with the right wing and engine oriented on a magnetic heading of 258 degrees; the impact scar was located approximately 157 feet and 327 degrees from the approach end centerline of runway 13. The wreckage came to rest on a magnetic heading of 302 degrees magnetic.Examination of the airplane revealed all components necessary to sustain flight remained attached or were in close proximity to the main wreckage. Structural damage was noted to the wings, front fuselage, cockpit, and empennage. Both ailerons remained attached, and the elevator remained connected to the horizontal stabilizer which was separated. The rudder remained attached to the vertical stabilizer which was also separated. Flight control continuity was confirmed for roll, pitch, and yaw from the cockpit controls to the bellcrank near each control surface attach point. The fixed portion of the windscreen was broken but did not exhibit any evidence of bird strike. Both main landing gears were symmetrically bent aft approximately 50 degrees consistent with being down and locked at the time of impact.The fuel tank was separated and fully breached but there was no pre or postcrash fire noted on any components. Further inspection of the fuel tank revealed the remains of a fuel sending unit; however, the wire portion that would connect to a float was found to be cut near the sending unit housing. No obstruction of the fuel supply system was noted; the fuel shutoff valve was in the on position. A small amount of debris was noted adhering to the fuel outlet finger screen inside the separated fuel tank.Examination of the cockpit revealed throttle, mixture, and carburetor heat control continuity from the cockpit to their respective attach points of the control shaft in the engine compartment. The carburetor heat control was extended ½ inch. The magneto switch which was in the both position tested satisfactory during postaccident testing, and the oil pressure indicator was reading 0. The recording tachometer needle was off scale low and read 112.5 hours.Examination of the engine following recovery of the airplane revealed crankshaft, camshaft, and valve train continuity. Differential cold cylinder compression testing using 80 psi revealed the Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 cylinders registered 52, 62, 28 and 32 psi, respectively. Leakage in the exhaust was noted during testing of the No. 3 cylinder while leakage in the crankcase was noted during testing of the No. 4 cylinder. The propeller remained attached to the crankshaft but 2 blades were sheared. The carburetor was impact separated, and the fuel inlet fitting was broken at the carburetor. The fuel inlet screen was clean. Disassembly inspection of the carburetor revealed about 3 drops of fuel and a small amount of debris inside the carburetor bowl. No water was detected in the drops of fuel when checked using water finding paste. Further inspection of the carburetor revealed the accelerator pump rod was fractured, the float moved freely, and the needle valve and seat tested satisfactory with up and down movement of the float. The position of the throttle plate at impact was consistent with being in nearly the full open position. The exhaust system components were crushed in several areas but inspection of the non-crushed areas revealed no obstructions.The air induction system was free of obstructions. Inspection of the components of the lubrication system revealed ferrous and non-ferrous particles in the oil suction screen. The oil suction screen housing also contained ferrous and non-ferrous particles. The oil pump gears were satisfactory but the interior surface of the oil pump housing exhibited scratches consistent with hard particle passage. The oil tank which was crushed and breached was drained and found to contain approximately 8 ounces of oil admixed with water. RTV type sealant was noted in the gear-train area of the engine, and also on the threads of the oil tank drain plug.The left magneto remained tightly secured to the accessory case and was timed to specification on the data plate (24 degrees before top dead center), while the right magneto remained connected by one stud/nut while the opposite side mounting flange was broken. During hand rotation of the crankshaft, spark was noted at all spark plugs connected to the left magneto with the exception of the No. 4 bottom lead which exhibited impact damaged. The right magneto was rotated by hand and produced spark at all towers. Inspection of the spark plugs revealed the No. 1 top plug exhibited excessively eroded center and ground electrodes, while the remainder of the plugs exhibited normal wear when compared with the Champion Aviation Check-A-Plug chart. Operational testing of the spark plugs as received was performed on a spark plug test machine. The testing was performed using 80 psi, which revealed all spark plugs exhibited a weak spark with the exception of the No. 3 top and bottom, and No. 1 bottom plugs which exhibited a normal spark during testing.All cylinders were removed and no erosion of the pistons was noted. Also, although the gaps of 2 of the 3 upper rings of some cylinders were nearly aligned, none of the cylinders exhibited all gaps of the upper 3 rings in alignment. Following removal of the cylinders, no discoloration was noted to any of the connecting rods.Examination of the propeller revealed two blades were sheared near the hub while the remaining blade remained connected in the hub.MEDICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL INFORMATIONA postmortem examination of the pilot was performed by the Division of Forensic Sciences, Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The cause of death was listed as "massive blunt traumatic injuries".Forensic toxicology was performed on specimens of the pilot by the FAA Bioaeronautical Sciences Research Laboratory, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The toxicology report stated the results were negative for carbon monoxide, cyanide, volatiles, and tested drugs of abuse.TESTS AND RESEARCHAs previously reported, the pilot purchased the airplane on April 27, 2012, and by the previous owner's account, he flew it back to his home base (CSG Airport). A document located in the wreckage associated with the accident airplane indicating date, tachometer time, pilot name, and flight duration, documented 4 separate entries all with the accident pilot's initials beginning with the first entry dated April 27, 2012, to the last entry dated May 18, 2012. The first entry flight duration was 2.3 hours and was consistent with the pilot's purchase and subsequent flight to the CSG Airport. Fuel records from a fixed base operator at the accident airport associated with the pilot's name indicate 6.60 gallons of 100 low lead fuel purchased on April 28, 2012; the request was for a top off of the fuel tank. No determination was made as to whether the airplane was fueled before or after the next logged airplane operation on the same day lasting 0.5 hour tachometer time. The next documented airplane operation occurred on April 30, 2012, and was recorded to last 0.3 hour tachometer time. The last documented airplane operation occurred on May 18, 2012, and was recorded to last 0.2 hour tachometer time. The ending tachometer time was recorded to be 112.3 hours, and as previously reported, the tachometer time postaccident was recorded to be 112.5 hours.FAA Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) CE-09-35, titled Carburetor Icing Prevention contains a chart that depicts temperature, dew point, and the icing probability. Based on the temperature and dew point about the time of the accident (82 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit, respectively), the conditions were favorable for serious icing at glide power. The SAIB indicates that the sign of carburetor icing in an airplane equipped with a fixed pitch propeller is a drop in engine rpm, which will be accompanied by engine roughness.

In the mid 1920s, the Pastor of St. Kilian Church, Rev. Fr. Joseph Haldmaier O.S.B. knew that the growing parish needed a parochial school of its own, believing in what he referred to as the "Domestic Trinity" – home – school – church, three required elements for a parish to continue to thrive. Hence the foundation was laid for what would eventually become St. Kilian School and later in 1992, St. John Baptist De LaSalle.
Each parish (St. James, St. Martin of Tours, St. Kilian, and St. Pius X) has been such an integral contributor to the success of our regionalized school over the past 20 years, and while we may be four separate parishes, we have evolved into one school family where our children are thriving.
In 2005, the U.S. Conference of Bishops identified a plan for developing strategies to keep Catholic elementary education accessible, affordable and available to Catholics of all income levels. The responsibility of our entire parish community is to carry this torch, providing Catholic elementary school education for future generations.Here are the facts:
* On Dec. 6, 2011 the Diocese announced the closing of six schools including our parish school, St. John Baptist de LaSalle Regional School. For many, this is the second time facing a school closure.
* Closing LaSalle affects all parishioners. Closing of the school impacts the overall well-being of all parishes, 15 percent of weekly contributions will still be going to the Diocese supporting other parishes that have operating schools.
* Closing LaSalle adversely affects participation from current/future dedicated Catholic families who will likely change parishes, weakening attendance, contributions (both fiscal and spiritual), and church ministries; going forward, similar families will not choose to live in a community without a Catholic school.
Why we cannot give up:
* Pope John Paul II's 1999 The Church in America states that Catholic schools play a vital role in the evangelizing mission of the Church.
* Catholic high schools receive 60 percent of their enrollment from Catholic elementary schools. Systematic elimination of elementary-level schools will dramatically affect all Catholic high schools.
* Studies have established that vocations, lay Catholic educators, and ministries have the common thread of Catholic education in their background. Over twenty individuals educated at St. Kilian/LaSalle School have answered the call to religious life.
We have a plan:
* According to the Long Island Catholic, "To date [the Diocese has] not been convinced that the legitimate upset and pain has been translated into any proposal that would change our decisions" (1/18/2012).
* We have a proposal to privatize the school while retaining its Catholic identity.
* We have religious and academic advisors, including leading Long Island Catholic educators who have successfully done this in the past. They are convinced that we are absolutely on the right path, and we are ready to present our plan to the Diocese.
* Your parish needs your support. Visit us at www.save lasalleregional.org for more information.
While we may face different challenges than those who founded St. Kilian School in 1926, our goals remain the same. Please pray for our success and that our Diocese carefully considers our proposal. Most importantly, please pray for our children, that they may have the blessing of an education in their community, your community, with the values, vision and faith-based culture that only a Catholic organization can provide.
Thank you again for all of your support over the years for your parish and your school.
The LaSalle Venture Committee

text: The student pilot was practicing normal touch-and-go landings. On the third landing, the pilot did not pitch the nose up sufficiently and the airplane began to porpoise and wheelbarrow on the nose wheel. The student pilot attempted to steer the airplane back towards the centerline of the runway, but was unsuccessful and the airplane departed the left side of the runway. As the airplane left the pavement, it hit a snow berm and it nosed over onto its back. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings and to the vertical stabilizer. The pilot stated that there were no pre-impact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane.

Fredericksburg officials are looking to fill a nearly $6 million funding gap for the planned widening project on Fall Hill Avenue.
Getting a revenue sharing grant with the state might be the way the city does it.
The city plans to submit an application for the state grant to help cover the estimated $5.76 million increase in the project, which isn't expected to start for several years. The revenue sharing grant would allow the city to split the costs with the Virginia Department of Transportation, according to City Council documents.
The project's total estimated cost now stands at $41 million.
If the city can't get additional funding, the widening project would be scaled back.
The council plans to vote on the grant application at its Oct. 23 meeting.
The city will hold a public meeting to give an update on the widening project on Oct. 30 at Lafayette Upper Elementary School. The meeting will run from 5 to 8 p.m.
Contractor Kimley-Horn and Associates informed the city of the cost increases in the summer.
Issues with utilities, right-
The project is broken into phases. The first will include widening the western portion of Fall Hill Avenue to four lanes, joining the section that already has been widened. Sidewalks and a trail also will be added and the bridge spanning Interstate 95 will be replaced. The second phase of the project calls for widening the rest of Fall Hill and extending Mary Washington Boulevard to connect it with Fall Hill near the Rappahannock Canal bridge.
The project's preliminary schedule calls for construction to begin sometime around mid-2015. It could take two years to finish.
The city is handling the first 30 percent of the project design, then will hand it over to VDOT.
Another Fall Hill Avenue project, the canal bridge replacement, shouldn't be affected by any issues with the widening project.
Work on the bridge is supposed to start in January and the schedule calls for shutting down Fall Hill Avenue at the bridge until November.
The project will replace the current 1950s-era, weight-restricted bridge and add a pedestrian path beneath it, which will allow people to avoid having to cross Fall Hill.
Sidewalks will be added to the bridge, which will be slightly elevated to accommodate pedestrians on the path. Workers also will add a second footbridge crossing the canal.

Miss Jennifer Lopez graces Orange County with her presence this week as she stops by the Honda Center on her Dance Again World Tour—and upon coming back to the States, she brings with her a very welcome co-headliner, Enrique Iglesias. Lopez considers this as "one of the most historic tours ever," with the two Latin pop superstars coming together to perform in both English and Spanish, complete with lavish set designs, dancing and costumes. We think it's a perfect example of million-dollar pop spectacle—and for these two people to remind everyone else that they're both way more wealthy and better-looking than we'll ever be.

Thanks to
i could release now a feature, that is missed in LazY Puppy 2.0.2 Final.
This one (what is missed) is an option to remove Run-Scripts and its symbolic links from the system from within the Run-Script-GUI (Menu LazY Puppy). The attached PET makes an update to the Run-Script-GUI to be able to remove Run-Scripts and its symbolic links from the system from within the Run-Script-GUI. This could be necessary if you choose to use a newer version of a program that has already a Run-Script in the system - and it has to be done manually (until now).
You can find the PET in the

This Version is especially for my own use and it is also modified in this way. You and every other non-german-language-user will not get happy on this version, because every modifications i've made is only made using German language. Also there are modifications for my own use made, that are unsuitable for other German users as well - so, there will also not be a new German version of LazY Puppy.
If you want to make the LazY Puppy a bit smaller by yourself, i can upload the newly created sfs files, so you can see, what files are to be removed - but i recommend: try to be happy with LazY Puppy as it is.
If there will be any new work on LazY Puppy 2.0.2 Final to publish, this will surely not happen within the year 2012. This is the only promise, i can make.

That's all usual stuff, so: no recipe book on the way.
The (my private) new iso is sized 126 MB and the StArtLPx2.sfs is now sized 122 MB. It boots on my computer within 14 seconds from finding the StArtLPx2.sfs until the desktop is shown and ready to use.
It is now faster and even smaller as the original lucid 528-4!!!

Playing Drums...
...or: why LazY Puppy has happen...
...or: why active develpoment of LazY Puppy has to come to an end...
Playing Drums is my job, my desire, my passion - as a teacher of playing drums as well as a drummer in bands and/or solo-artist. I do like also to play drums while listening to the "big musicans" like Zappa, Rush, Miles, BBKing, Iron Maiden, Blue Öyster Cult, Allan Holdsworth, Billy Cobham, Stanley Clarke, Bill Withers, Tool, CKY, DIO, Rainbow, Chickenfoot, Van Halen, Curtis Mayfield, Colosseum, David Lindley, Gary Moore, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Thin Lizzy, Derek Sherinian, Simon Phillips, Dave Weckl, Vinnie Colaiuta, Hooverphonic, Humble Pie, Imelda May, Jack Bruce, Jeff Silvertrust, Brecker Brothers plus more than 500 further musicans and Bands and also to play the drums free from any "leading"-stuff - alone by myself and totally sunken in the drumming-work and its sounds...
The "journey" while programming is not much different to the drumming-journey - but: it misses its physical component. So this could result in nervous up and down movement of a leg...
Playing Drums has been what i've ever searched for until i did explore it for myself at the age of 19 years.
As i did join the forum on 05. September 2011 i did stand in front to have to leave my drumming-room as a result of ugly behavior of a office company that claims to leave the house and all by the office company used rooms, if they could not get into and use my drumming-room for their own purposes.
So, without a job and without a "to-have-something-to-do" during the upcoming days and weeks (now months) i did decide to give some time to one of my several passions/hobbys - which has been then the muppy 08.3f.
Earlier i did work from June of 2007 to April of 2009, six days a week, 8 to 14 hours a day, to compose some new drum-solos to play a solo-concert and to create a dvd including some drum-solos and other artworks and music of me.
This would be something really new to me, because i did play concerts only as a drummer of a band - until then. So i started a whole lot of work (drumming-excesses) to learn to play ostinatos using the six (seven) different pedals of the drum kit by my feet and to play different rhythms and/or melodies using the upper drums and cymbals with my hands. Using a drum including 19 drums and 23 cymbals should make it possible to do things like that.
This concept is called ostinato-solo-drumming and it is created and invented by Terry Bozzio, formerly playing the drums in different Frank Zappa "Ensembles". His drum-kit is surely double-sized - since he has got more than 14 drums alone at the left side of his position behind the drum-kit.
So, from June of 2007 to April of 2009 i did compose ten different drum-solos - six of them did find its place on the dvd (not enough space); i did create the graphics for the dvd cover and the gui and did also program the events and actions if clicking on a link or a bitmap on the dvd gui using a integrated script language of the gui-builder; i did hurt the ring-finder of my left hand while mounting some light onto the walls of the drumming-room, to have enough light to be able to record the drum-solos to video and as a result i could not play drums for about six weeks until three weeks before the concert would happen etc.pp. - short story: each and every little detail -including burning the litescribe dvd's- has been done by myself (except cutting the covers and "building" the needed "nightly-drumming-excess-food", which has been "build" by my Augenstern; she also likes to play drums).
In between Mai of 2009 and September 2011 i did lost my drumming-room twice and once the band did split because of differences in priorities of a band -second short story: i could not trust them (the 2 other musicans of the 3-guy-band, Satriani-Cover) as a result of something happened. Enough, details in the German forum named, but not really necessary in here.
The dvd cover (front and back)
LazY Puppy, started as a "vision" of a puppy linux newbie looks to me now as a really creative result of the work to turn a big bunch of SHIT that can be called Life-Part-Experience-Worthies into something that smells a bit more comfortable than this big bunch of SHIT.
Successfully DONE!
By now, LazY Puppy 2.0.2 Final, Build 0.0.2 seems to be stable and made really fine, there has been offered a new option to get a new drumming-room. We did get the OK and a pre-contract also - so it would just need a few days to get into that room and to setup the drum-kit. Though it will take weeks to have everything connected and ready for a daily use.
And it needs also time to get back my coordinated-independence, my inspiration and ability to play my drum-solos and/or to make unleaded improvisations on the drum-kit.
Interested in creative drumming?
Drumsolo about 8 minutes length
, stored at Mediafire.
My wish would be to have some LazY Puppy specials like SFS P.L.U.S. running in other puppies, but this will not happen (i believe). I can't do this and if another one is willing to do so? Hm, i doubt...
So, i want to say thanks for all the help, to make this outstanding puppy derivative possible and want to wish a lot of fun and success also, while using LazY Puppy.
For those of you who wants to work on their own version i do attach the complete overview of the LazY Puppy menu categories (the names used for the "Categories="-entry of a .desktop file). It is a htm file, so just remove the .gz.

Yes, the '500 not found' error with the CUPS administrator pages is still "available" - i am sorry for that.
In pemasus's thread i got lots of information on this issue, but unfortunately it was a bit too much of an "expert-info". So, i have still to learn a lot and also i do not understand everything (english reading) at a time.

Post subject:
I'm running the newest build.0.0.2 and before I made my first save file, I switched to Icewm. When I rebooted, Lazypup booted into openbox.
It didn't save my window manager settings.
WM Manager settings will be saved after first boot into a new created save file. Then change the settings and reboot. At second reboot icewm should be available and run.
Though the mouse pointer is working kind of slow and menu and programs are bit slow to respond.
You can set speed of mouse pointer at menu
workstation - desktop settings - pupx
(restart x might be needed).
To start programs from sfs needs a bit more time than on installed programs - related to the size of the sfs. Also on loading sfs some checks are done. This is the other side of the coin to be able to run sfs programs just like they would be installed. However: i prefer this sort of use of programs and i like it very much, not only because no other puppy can do it that way.
Thanks for your report.

The Marmalade Files

The Marmalade Files
Steve Lewis, Chris Uhlmann
An imaginative romp through the dark underbelly of politics by two veteran Canberra insiders. When seasoned newshound Harry Dunkley is slipped a compromising photograph one frosty Canberra dawn he knows he's onto something big. In pursuit of the scoop, Dunkley must negotiate the deadly corridors of power where the minority Toohey Government hangs by a thread - its stricken foreign minister on life support, her heart maintained by a single thought. Revenge. Rabid Rottweilers prowl in the guise of Opposition senators, union thugs wage class warfare, TV anchors simper and fawn…and loyalty and decency have long since given way to compromise and treachery. From the teahouses of Beijing to the beaches of Bali, from the marbled halls of Washington to the basements of the bureaucracy, Dunkley's quest takes him ever closer to the truth - and ever deeper into a lethal political game.
