quick and simple web api generator
Note: The generated javascript currently depends on jQuery being loaded!
var express = require'express' apitizer = require'apitizer'; var app = express; appuseexpressbodyParser; var api = apitizer namespace: 'my.test.api' path: '/myapi.js'; appuseapiprovider; appget'/' ressendfile'test.html';; callok 'add': a + b + c 'sub': a - b - c ; apiextendmyApiFunctionextend 'SOMEVALUE': 3832.1234 ; applisten8080;
via npm (recommended)
npm install apitizer --production
via git
git clone https://github.com/farwyler/node-apitizer.git apitizer
cd apitizer
npm install --production
The apitizer module is the constructor function for interface objects. You can have multiple of these but it is your responsibility to manage their namespace and path to avoid collisions.
Available options:
namespace - The browser namespace your functions will be placed in. Nesting is possible via '.', e.g. 'my.cool.api' will be recursively created in the global namespace of your browser.
path - The path at which your api will be served.
methd - The http request method to use,
'get' or
'post'. Defaults to
'post'. Note: Using
'post' requires you to add the
bodyParser middleware to your express app.
var apitizer = require'apitizer'; var myapi = apitizer namespace: 'my.test.api' path: '/myapi.js';
Adds elements to the interface. Returns the interface object to allow chain calls, e.g. myapi.extend(func1).extend(func2).
object - Accepts a single function or an object. Objects will be iterated through and all contained functions added to the interface.
//... // make myApiFunction available to the browser myapiextendmyApiFunction; // add some constants myapiextend a_string: 'hello world!' a_number: 39383.98123 a_bool: false; // add a whole module myapiextendrequire'./myapi.js';
Registers your interface as a middleware to express.
Important: The default http request method is POST, which requires you to add the
bodyParser middleware to your express app.
expressappuseexpressbodyParser; // you dont need this if you are using GET requests expressappusemyapiprovider;
Functions exposed to the browser, have no limitation in argument count but always receive as last argument a CallObject. A CallObject contains detailed contextual information about the call to be made and can be inspected/extended by registering a hook function. It also contains methods (
fail(...) and
ok(...)) to tell the interface that your function has finished and the response to send to the browser.
if Mathrandom < 0.5 callfail'so unlucky!'; else callok 'add': a + b + c 'sub': a - b - c ;
Calling the function from the browser
mytestapimyApiFunction23 42 966 if err console.log':(' err; else console.logresultadd resultsub;
A CallObject is guaranteed to contain the following:
The original connect/express request object.
The original connect/express response object.
Name of the function to be called.
Function arguments received by the browser.
Function to end the call unsuccessfully with a given message.
Function to end the call successfully and return the result to the browser. Note: The result will be send as JSON.
Performs the actual call to the interface function.
Important: This method has to be called when using a
call hook and nowhere else.
Available events:
'call' - Called with the CallObject before each call to an interface function. Can be used to extend the CallObject, e.g. with additional authentication information, if not already present in the express request object. Can also prematurely end the call by calling
fail(...) or
ok(...), in which case the actual function will not be executed. Important: If you register this hook, it will be your responsibility to trigger further processing of the call, by executing the
CallObject.execute() after you are done.
myapihook'call' // do not allow calls to specific function if coname === 'badFunction' cofail'not allowed'; return; // add user authentication information to the CallObject couserinfo = name: 'John Doe' secret: 'Cats' ; coexecute;; if calluserinfosecret === 'Cats' callok; else callfail'wrong!';
Manually trigger the rendering of the client-side javascript code and retrieve it as first argument to the provided callback function.

An NCIC Milestone
|Washington, D.C. March 23, 2002
On March 15, 2002, the FBI's National Crime Information Center (NCIC) set a new record for transactions processed on a single day, with 3,295,587. The average response time for these transactions was .1467 second. Response time is the time it takes for the NCIC to receive, process, and respond to an inquiry. 2002 year-to-date averages have been 2.8 million transactions per day with an average response time of.16 second.
NCIC, which was implemented by the FBI in 1967, processed 2 million transactions during its entire first year of operation. Recent average daily transactions were approximately 1 million per day in 1991, and 2.1 million per day in 1999.
The most recent generation of NCIC became operational on July 11, 1999 at the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Division in Clarksburg, West Virginia. A recent hardware upgrade to the NCIC system is responsible for this significant improvement in performance.
NCIC is a computerized index of criminal justice information (i.e.- criminal record history information, fugitives, stolen properties, missing persons). It is available to Federal, state, and local law enforcement and other criminal justice agencies and is operational 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Olivia Wilde Leaves Her Shirt and Bra at Home for the Rush Premiere (PHOTOS)
When Olivia Wilde hit the red carpet for the world premiere of her new film, Rush, the actress made sure she was the star of the night.
On Monday, September 2, the 29-year-old stepped out in London's Leicester Square alongside her co-stars Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl. Donning one of her sexiest looks to date, the brunette beauty rocked a sleek Gucci pantsuit, minus a shirt and a bra. The low-cut jacket definitely gave fans a good view of her cleavage, but Olivia kept the rest of her look soft and glamorous with loose waves, red lips, and Jimmy Choo pumps.
Olivia must have Gucci creative director Frida Giannini on speed dial, because the designer is also responsible for decking her out in '70s-inspired looks for the film.
Are you feeling Olivia's no-shirt-no-bra situation, or do you think it's time for the low-cut look to go?

Penn State Extension 4-H Robotics Program Comes to Philadelphia
Posted: August 20, 2012
In Philadelphia, the Penn State Extension 4-H Club "Atomic Robotics" had formed with the financial and professional support of Boeing Philadelphia. Working with the Julia R. Masterman Laboratory and Demonstration School, mentors from the Mobility Division of Boeing Military Aircraft linked with Penn State Extension 4-H to offer robotics programs.
J.J. Biels-Goeble, a Boeing volunteer, explains, "Two years ago, a friend twisted my arm a bit to get me to the first meeting, but I had a blast. There was something for each of the participants to do, from learning to weld, to computer-assisted design (CAD), to making posters and videos. We connected with area Penn State Extension 4-H clubs and found a rewarding partnership." Jackie Simon, Penn State Extension 4-H
"Part of my motivation," J.J. says, "is knowing that not enough kids are going into science and math in the United States. We need to celebrate science and technology at the same level we celebrate sports. Until we do, we're facing an uphill battle. "

Page 116 of 193 CHAPTER XXIV - Michael, Brother of Jerry
Harris Collins was fifty-two years of age. He was slender and dapper, and in appearance and comportment was so sweet- and gentle-spirited that the impression he radiated was almost of sissyness. He might have taught a Sunday-school, presided over a girls' seminary, or been a president of a humane society.
His complexion was pink and white, his hands were as soft as the hands of his daughters, and he weighed a hundred and twelve pounds. Moreover, he was afraid of his wife, afraid of a policeman, afraid of physical violence, and lived in constant dread of burglars. But the one thing he was not afraid of was wild animals of the most ferocious sorts, such as lions, tigers, leopards, and jaguars. He knew the game, and could conquer the most refractory lion with a broom-handle--not outside the cage, but inside and locked in.
It was because he knew the game and had learned it from his father before him, a man even smaller than himself and more fearful of all things except animals. This father, Noel Collins, had been a successful animal trainer in England, before emigrating to America, and in America he had continued the success and laid the foundation of the big animal training school at Cedarwild, which his son had developed and built up after him. So well had Harris Collins built on his father's foundation that the place was considered a model of sanitation and kindness. It entertained many visitors, who invariably went away with their souls filled with ecstasy over the atmosphere of sweetness and light that pervaded the place. Never, however, were they permitted to see the actual training. On occasion, performances were given them by the finished products which verified all their other delightful and charming conclusions about the school. But had they seen the training of raw novices, it would have been a different story. It might even have been a riot. As it was, the place was a zoo, and free at that; for, in addition to the animals he owned and trained and bought and sold, a large portion of the business was devoted to boarding trained animals and troupes of animals for owners who were out of engagements, or for estates of such owners which were in process of settlement. From mice and rats to camels and elephants, and even, on occasion, to a rhinoceros or a pair of hippopotamuses, he could supply any animal on demand.
When the Circling Brothers' big three-ring show on a hard winter went into the hands of the receivers, he boarded the menagerie and the horses and in three months turned a profit of fifteen thousand dollars. More--he mortgaged all he possessed against the day of the auction, bought in the trained horses and ponies, the giraffe herd and the performing elephants, and, in six months more was quit of an of them, save the pony Repeater who turned air-springs, at another profit of fifteen thousand dollars. As for Repeater, he sold the pony several months later for a sheer profit of two thousand. While this bankruptcy of the Circling Brothers had been the greatest financial achievement of Harris Collin's life, nevertheless he enjoyed no mean permanent income from his plant, and, in addition, split fees with the owners of his board animals when he sent them to the winter Hippodrome shows, and, more often than not, failed to split any fee at all when he rented the animals to moving-picture companies.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
The 2012 London Olympics have just gotten underway, but business owners are likely already feeling a productivity lull. Captivate Network estimates that the time employees waste by watching the Olympics at work could cost U.S. businesses $650 million. That blows the reported $175 million productivity loss due to March Madness out of the water.
Two factors driving this phenomenon are the London time zone and the ability to stream events live. Many key events are being held right in the middle of the workday, and workers don't need to retreat to a break room to see the action. Captivate found that 12 percent of Americans plan to watch the games at work; a Yahoo! Sports survey placed that figure far higher, 43 percent.
The widespread availability of live streams of the Olympic Games adds another problem: slowed-down Internet connections due to bandwidth hogs. "It brings us back to the age-old question, 'Why is the network so slow today?'" said Jim Melvin, chief executive officer of AppNeta, to SmartMoney. "I would say [the Olympics are] a billion-dollar event."
Although employees are most likely checking in on the London Olympics during the workday, managers shouldn't fret or place overbearing restrictions on their teams. After all, workers already put in 365 hours of unpaid overtime a year.

Visit Video Teenage
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
Video Teenage brings us scenes that feature amateur babes who fall between the ages of 18 and 20. The chicks are incredibly cute and aren't shy about showing off their tight teen bodies. Some of them are so outgoing, in fact, that they even get naked and naughty in public.
Despite having some of the best-looking babes in all of Europe, VideoTeenage doesn't look all that good itself. The design isn't terrible or anything, but it could be improved. There are two video sections and each one has several pages worth of material. It's easy to get to the first and last page, but you need to click your way through the rest of them.
There are 96 videos right now and each one is represented by six thumbnail images that give you a pretty good idea of what you can expect, which is a mix of hard and softcore action, though there is more of the latter. Give enough of the vids a look and you'll see cuties getting naked, masturbating, giving blowjobs and having sex.
The movies can't be streamed, but they can be downloaded. Unfortunately, they're only available in clips. Some are available as Windows Media files, while others can be had as MP4s. The quality varies, but it seems as though every second video being added these days is available in an HD format.
I watched a few of the films and noticed that nobody was speaking English. No subtitles are provided, so you might not understand what the performers and the people behind the camera are saying, but that shouldn't hurt your enjoyment of the scenes too much.
There aren't any photo galleries or extras included with a membership. Both of these things are unfortunate. Also unfortunate is the fact that the site doesn't date its content, so it isn't clear how often you can expect to get something new, but it does appear as though the collection is growing.
Video Teenage is a decent website, but it could be a lot better with a few improvements here and there. The site is in a large niche and there are just too many better sites out there that are offering the same type of content.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

I subscribed few month ago and felt very disapointed. Dont get me wrong, content and models are good. Quality is there but quantity is damn too low.

Basil: A staple in southern France and Italy, you'll find the sweet yet peppery taste of basil in a wide variety of dishes -- as the basis for pesto and often in tandem with tomatoes, in pasta sauces, Italian minestrone, salads and dressings, breads and marinades. It's an extremely versatile herb from the mint family. Basil blends well with other herbs and spices -- such as parsley, rosemary, oregano, thyme, sage, and saffron.
Bay Leaves: Bay originates in the Mediterranean area, where in ancient times it was a symbol of achievement. Potently flavored, just a leaf or two of bay will usually suffice in soups, broths, stews, sauces and marinades for meats and poultry. It's even found in an occasional dessert.
Caraway Seeds, Black: The peppery taste of black caraway (nigella seed) is enjoyed on flat breads and with lentils and vegetables and in spice blends and pickles. No relation to true caraway seeds, these are produced by a flower that belongs to the buttercup family and is indigenous to the Mediterranean. The seed has long been valued for its healing properties.
Cardamom: Mediterranean cooks crush the pods to release the warm flavor and aroma of this spicy, sharp, and sweet seasoning. Native to India and a member of the ginger family, it's used in both sweet and savory recipes -- from beverages and delicate desserts to meat and vegetable dishes.
Chervil: Chervil is used by French and Spanish cooks much like parsley, though it imparts a delicate anise taste as well as an herbal one. You'll find its distinctive, delicate flavoring in recipes for seafood, pasta, grain, vegetable and egg dishes, and in salads, sauces, soups, and dressings. A key ingredient in French potato soups, chervil also appears in blends like Fines Herbs.
Chili peppers: Red chili peppers are ground and used as a table condiment (cayenne) or made into a paste. Mediterranean cooks also sprinkle them in sauces, stews, and seafood dishes. The heat of the spice comes from the capsaicin content, which varies; all chili peppers belong to the genus capsicum, which includes over 20 different species.
Chives: Chives belong to the onion family but have a milder, more delicate flavor than onions. They are rich in vitamins A and C and complement salads and dressings, yogurt, egg, and pasta dishes, casseroles, baked potatoes, soups and sauces. Chives also appear in recipes for Fines Herbs blends.
Cilantro: A strongly aromatic seasoning found in many cuisines around the world, cilantro has roots in both Southern Europe and the Middle/Far East. The leaf of the coriander plant, it has a pungent flavor reminiscent of sage and lemon. You'll find it seasoning Mediterranean stews, soups, curries, vegetables, salads, relishes and tomato-based sauces.
Cinnamon: Fragrant with a slightly sweet taste, cinnamon adds a warm spiciness to Mediterranean soups, condiments, glazes, desserts, and drinks. It complements fruits like apricots and apples as well as meats and vegetables like carrots, spinach, and onions. Cinnamon often appears in Mediterranean cuisine in combination with other warm spices, like cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, ginger, allspice and pepper.
Cloves: The warm, rich, spicy flavor and strong, sweet aroma of cloves is used to accent Mediterranean baked goods, stews, soups, and meats. It's often used in tandem with cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Of Southeast Asian origin, the spice is the unopened flower bud of the evergreen clove tree.
Coriander: With a taste and aroma that's distinct from fresh cilantro leaves (which come from the same plant), coriander is often used to flavor Mediterranean meat, poultry, and vegetable dishes as well as cookies and cakes. Its scent is a bit like orange, its taste warm and sweet.
Cumin: Cumin is a vital spice around the world. Mediterranean cooks toast the seeds whole and then grind them for use in stews and with couscous. It's often paired with coriander as well as hot spices. Good quality cumin will hold its flavor and aroma in long-simmering dishes. You'll find it in recipes for seafood, egg, poultry and meats, as well as tomato-based sauces and salad dressings.
Fennel: Mediterranean cooks often toast fennel seeds and serve them with seafood. You'll also find their sweet, mild licorice taste in meat, vegetable, and grain dishes, soups, tomato sauces, cakes, pastries, breads, beverages, salads and dressings (especially French vinaigrettes).
Fenugreek: The nutty, spicy-sweet, maple-like flavor of fenugreek is found in both Mediterranean and West Asian cuisine. It's often used -- whole or ground -- in curries, pickles, breads, teas, and desserts. Use it sparingly, because too much can make a dish bitter.
Garlic: A mainstay in Mediterranean cuisine, garlic is a versatile seasoning that complements most any savory dish. Of central Asian origin, it's a member of the lily family and comes in many varieties, including white-, pink- and purple-skinned cloves. You'll find garlic in Mediterranean sauces, stews, soups, salad dressings, casseroles, breads, and grain dishes.
Ginger: Mediterranean cooks use ginger to enhance both sweet and savory dishes. Warm and spicy sweet, aromatic and zingy, ginger is added to stir fries, sauces, cakes and cookies, puddings, and -- because it combines well with many other seasonings -- spice blends.
Juniper Berries: The fruit of a small evergreen shrub, this aromatic and spicy/sweet seasoning is used for meats (marinades, roasts, stews, and in sausage mixes), pickles, soups, and vegetable dishes. Mediterranean cooks crush the berries to fully release the flavor.
Mace: This red, lacy covering of the nutmeg fruit is used in dessert and savory dishes to impart a warm, sweet, cinnamon/pepper flavor. You'll find it in Mediterranean recipes for soups, sauces, stuffings, puddings, and baked goods.
Marjoram: A relative of oregano with a lighter, more delicate flavor, marjoram is used liberally by Italian, French, and Greek cooks. Native to the Mediterranean region, it has a sweet, minty flavor that works well with many vegetables, meats and poultry and in recipes for soups, stews, butters, sauces, and salad dressings. It's also a key ingredient in spice blends such as Fines Herbs.
Mint: Used in eastern Mediterranean cooking, peppermint and spearmint provide a fresh flavor in a variety of sweet and savory dishes. Peppermint's strong aroma and taste is often used to flavor candy and desserts, and spearmint is often found in teas, sauces, and jellies that are served with meat, as well as vegetables, like potatoes and carrots. Mint is also added to salads, stews, soups and stuffings.
Nutmeg: Mediterranean cooks grate whole nutmeg for a strong, cinnamon/nutty flavor in sweets and savories. You'll find it in recipes for pies, cookies, cakes, fruit dishes, sauces, soups, seafood, poultry, beans, eggs, cheeses, and vegetables (especially eggplant, spinach, and cabbage). Italian cooks in particular use nutmeg for its rich scent and flavor in ravioli and tortellini dishes, meat sauces and stews.
Onion: Onion's distinct taste is indispensable in Mediterranean cuisine, where it enhances other vegetables, soups, sauces, seafood and meat dishes, grains and legumes. There are hundreds of varieties -- including the large, round Spanish onion, the red-skinned Italian onion, smaller, yellow or white onions, pearl onions and green onions -- all of which vary in appearance and potency.
Oregano: Oregano grows wild throughout the Mediterranean, where it's a cooking staple. Though related to marjoram, its flavor is stronger. You'll find it in French, Greek and Italian dishes, especially in tomato-based recipes. Mediterranean oregano is also used to marinate meats and seafood before grilling and to season olives, cheeses, vegetables (especially eggplant), egg dishes, grains, breads, casseroles, meats, poultry, and salads. It partners well with other spices, like basil, garlic, thyme, and parsley.
Paprika: This vibrantly colored spice has a mildly peppery/sweet taste that complements eggs, poultry, stews, soups, dressings, seafood, and vegetables. It can be substituted for Aleppo pepper (use three parts ground Hungarian paprika and one part ground red pepper flakes) in Mediterranean recipes.
Parsley: Native to Southern Europe, parsley is used in sauces, soups, meat marinades, dressings, salads, casseroles, stuffings, omelets, soft cheeses, and potato dishes. The two main types are curly and flat-leaf parsley, both rich in vitamins and minerals. Parsley is a key ingredient in persillade (a French mixture of garlic and parsley).
Pepper: A wide variety of peppers are used in Mediterranean cooking -- usually freshly ground. The black variety originates from unripe green berries that ferment before drying, resulting in strong flavor and aroma. White pepper originates from ripe berries soaked to remove the red skin; it has a bit less aroma and flavor and is best used in recipes requiring a milder pepper flavor and white color, such as light soups, white sauces and egg dishes.
Rosemary: A native Mediterranean spice, rosemary's aromatic, needle-like leaf has a sweet, pungent flavor. Italian cooks use it liberally in marinades and with roasted and grilled foods, like vegetables, poultry, and seafood. It also works well in stews, sauces, dressings and focaccia. You'll find rosemary in Bouquet Garni and Herbes de Provence blends, too.
Saffron: A vibrantly colored, sweetly scented, pungent-tasting spice, precious saffron comes from the stigma of a flowering crocus. Grown in Spain, it's often used to flavor bouillabaisse, egg dishes, salads and dressings, sauces, seafood, poultry, paella and other grain dishes, and breads.
Sage: A Mediterranean spice in the mint family, sage has a pungent, slightly bitter/sweet taste and an herbal fragrance. Mediterranean cooks use it to flavor a variety of foods, including meats, seafood, poultry, stuffings, soups, breads, bean salads and dressings. Italian cooks add it to pasta sauces, too.
Sea Salt: The fresh, robust taste of sea salt is found in Mediterranean breads, pickled vegetables, dressings, and with cheeses, meats and grains -- any savory dish and a few sweet ones as well. It enhances other flavors, seasons on its own, and provides a necessary nutrient.
Savory: A Mediterranean native, savory has a strong, slightly peppery flavor. Summer savory is milder and more commonly grown than winter savory and is used to flavor legumes, meats, poultry, seafood (especially trout), beans, dressings (especially vinaigrettes), soups (especially cream soups), stuffings and tomato sauces. Winter savory is used in marinades, salads, soups, sauces, dressings, stuffings, and with meats and vegetables like eggplant and cabbage.
Tarragon: A staple seasoning in French food, you'll find the sweet, fresh, licorice-like flavor of tarragon in sauces, dressings, butters, vinegars, condiments, and with meats, poultry, eggs and seafood. It's also a crucial ingredient in spice blends like Fines Herbs and Herbes de Provence.
Thyme: Native to the Mediterranean, this aromatic, pungent seasoning has an herbal, minty flavor and scent. It's used in many savory recipes and especially with tomatoes and in slow-cooked dishes like soups and sauces. Try it (with a light hand at first) with poultry, seafood, meats, and in marinades and stuffings. It's distinctive enough to stand on its own, but it's also found in classic spice blends like Bouquet Garni and Herbes de Provence.
Turmeric: Mediterranean cooks use turmeric to add a beautiful yellow color, warm, mild aroma, and gingery spice to many recipes, including egg, grain, vegetable, legume, seafood and meat dishes, as well as condiments. It's a member of the ginger family and is sometimes used for color in place of the more expensive saffron (though the taste is distinctly different).

text: I've been cycling less and I added running to my routine. It's not as fun as cycling, but it's much more tolerable to run outside in the cold Ohio winters than to have the wind chill that comes with biking. I just wrote a blog post about it and it got me thinking What is everyone else who has to deal with cold weather doing to stay in shape this winter? Riding outside? Fat tire bike? Trainer in the basement? Running? Skiing? Speed skating? If you've hung up your bike do you miss the trails?

TALBOTT (WATE) – It is really different when people in need live close by. You may drive by their house every day, see their plight, but if you don't know the family in need, often you drive by and do nothing.
If they are your neighbor and you see their house everyday outside your window, that's a different situation.
People who live near Jake McKinney in Talbott are concerned about him and his wife Evelyn, who walks with two canes. Their neighbor James Bowlin called 6 On Your Side.
"Well, she needs help, she does. They both need help. Me and my wife, we can't believe they're living like this," said Bowlin.
Living conditions at the couple's home are bad. Their three-acre piece of property is filled with vehicles, many of which don't run. There's also no running water or septic tank on the property.
We asked Evelyn McKinney where she goes to the bathroom.
"In the woods, away from people where they won't see you," she said, with a laugh. She said their camper has a bathroom, but they have no money to have it hooked up.
Jake, 78, says he and Evelyn have lived here for 18 years, but recently hit hard times. Their only shelter is a camper but he says it leaks. So in the summer. they live and sleep outside.
"When it's cold, I stay in one of them trucks," said Jake.
Their neighbor says he contacted Jefferson County in may about the couple's well-being.
"The health department, that man come out here. He was out here for five minutes, never did get out of the vehicle," said Bowlin.
A police report was filed, but in six weeks little had changed for the couple when we visited.
"They ain't been out here yet," said Jake.
"I ain't doing too good," said Evelyn. "My leg. Everything hurts,"
Evelyn says the pain starts in her foot and shoots all the way up her leg. She's hasn't seen a doctor, even though the sheriff's report urged someone to visit the 62-year-old.
Jake says the yard is messy because he recycles stuff to bring in extra money. However, Jake says he hasn't sold much junk recently, so he gets by with a meager Social Security disability check.
Evelyn says she also receives Social Security disability, but their two checks don't go very far.
Their electric hook up, seen on a pole, is alarming. From the outlet, drop cords are connected to outdoor lights and to appliances like a refrigerator, which is hooked up outdoors.
Jake admits he's been meaning to clean up the place and says he's like to have water and septic, but doesn't have enough money to pay for it.
"See I worked all my life. This little rock pile here is all I got to show for it," he said.
"Would you like someone to come out here and help?" we asked.
"Yes. Somebody could help. I would like them to help anything they can help with," said Evelyn
6 On Your Side contracted agencies within Jefferson County that could aid the couple. The Office on Aging and Disability is one source to provide assistance.
"They will try to contact that individual by telephone and arrange an in-home visit to try and assess what their needs may be," said John Bender with the Area Agency on Aging.
Bender says his offices don't force anything on anyone, and with their permission, can start the process to get help.
Evelyn told us she has an appointment in a few weeks for doctors to take a look at her painful feet and legs.
Jake says his most pressing issue is getting a septic tank on the property. He recently had prostate surgery and told us he's recovery is going fine, but conditions at his place aren't very clean.
Every county in East Tennessee has an Office on Aging and Disability that can assist people like Jake and Evelyn.
You can contact them toll-free at 1-866-836-6678.

IFB asked and we answered! What's your most memorable fashion moment?
It took me a minute to decide which moment was the greatest. There's the first Chanel bag that I bought to my own surprise. There are the Isabel Marant sneakers that unexpectedly found themselves part of my household. And finally there's the wedding dress for which I stood in line for 6 hours at a sample sale. Considering these options I began to question; what defines a memorable fashion moment? For me it's the moment you put something on and know that you don't just love it, but you love yourself in it, and the only way you'd leave that item behind is if it was ripped right from your clenching fists.

This video shows the players receiving their new suits from the Italian company Replay.
On 26th September, the Barça squad received their new exclusively designed suits from Replay, who will be providing the clothes for the players this season. The suits were handed over at a shop the Italian company have in the centre of Barcelona and there was a lot of excitement surrounding the event, with hundreds of fans waiting outside to see their idols. The players – accompanied by Tata Martino- were surprised by the fact that their suits were handed over by two supermodels.
In July Replay became the Club's official clothes provider for the next four years. According to the creators of the suits, the design combines formal and modern elements and also echoes FC Barcelona's attractive style of play.

Delhi has another new theatre group, this one started by three third-year students from Shri Ram College of Commerce. Turntable Productions was born over a few conversations that Prateek Handa, Shoury Gupta and Medha Bankhwal had during their college theatre fest last January. They make their debut with Footnotes, an adaptation of One Million Tiny Plays about Britain by Craig Taylor, at Alliance Francaise on July 21 and 22.
The 1.30-hour-long production comprises 30 short plays. These plays, some only 30-seconds-long, revolve around incidents from everyday life which border on the mundane and things we never really pay attention to. One story is about a newspaperwallah, another about the tea cups used for the everyday morning beverage, and a third about haggling with autorickshaw drivers. These are the footnotes of life, says Bankhwal.
The stage persons are up-and-coming names in Delhis theatre circuit and have also participated in the Old World Theatre Festival and Short+Sweet theatre festival. There are eight actors who play at least three characters each while performing around 30 plays in less than 90 minutes. Weve been practising for a month, and its been one crazy journey so far, says Bankhwal.

While We're Waiting serves as the early morning gathering of WFNY-esque information for your viewing pleasure. Have something you think we should see? Send it to our tips email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
From Grantland's Indians' team preview- "IF EVERYTHING BREAKS RIGHT: The Indians make the Tigers sweat. Detroit will be tough to beat after the addition of Fielder to a very good roster. But the rest of the division could feature three sub-.500 teams (the Royals are headed in the right direction, but their starting pitching is still iffy), giving the Tribe a chance to rack up a strong intradivision record. If that's not enough to win the Central, it could be enough to contend for a wild card. Especially if each league adds a second wild card team this year (it's February 23 — we still don't know).
IF EVERYTHING GOES WRONG: Sizemore and Choo don't bounce back, Chisenhall continues to scuffle, and the rest of the American League proves too tough to overcome. Even in that scenario, though, this still looks like a .500-or-better team." [Keri/Grantland]
"I had hoped for this young group, centered around Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson, to show signs of progress as this season went on. I wasn't exactly sure what that would look like heading in, but in hindsight the evidence of such progress is tangible. Kyrie missed his first game winning shot against the Indiana Pacers, a lay-up that went around the rim and down just before popping out. Since then, he's capitalized on approximately five game winning or game clinching shot opportunities. He's become accustomed to going nuts in the 4th quarter, scored 17 points in that final period of the Cavaliers last win, and closed out teams like the Dallas Mavericks in that same fashion as well. More than the shots he has hit though, is his specific willingness to take them. Every time." [Bowers/Stepien Rules]
"Lowe understands he will be looked upon for leadership, but also realizes he needs to balance those skills with his own job. "There is a fine line there," Lowe said. "I have always enjoyed working with younger kids and just talking about the stuff that I have learned. But also with that being said, you're here to do a job." So leading by example is what Lowe wants to do, but he'll have to correct whatever it was that contributed to his worst season in the big leagues. [Camino/WTAM]
I swear they do this every year. Anyone else find this fishy? "The Steelers are close to being under the salary cap after restructuring the contract of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Pittsburgh clears about $8 million by reworking Roethlisberger's deal. This is the latest in a series of moves the Steelers need to make to get out of their $25 million salary-cap hole, but more work needs to get done if the Steelers want to retain wide receiver Mike Wallace." [Hensley/AFC North Blog]
Someone's interested in the new slam dunk format. This piece is worth checking out for the dunk videos- "So why is there any reason for positivity? For one, the new single round format might actually work. Call me crazy, but the multi-round format of previous years has ruined what could have been some great dunk contests. Take Andre Iguodala's performance in the 2006 Slam Dunk Contest. His alley-oop from Allen Iverson caught off the back of the backboard was probably the best dunk from that year's event, but it came in the penultimate round and Iguodala ultimately lost to the diminutive Nate Robinson in a dunk off. Robinson's dunk over Spud Webb signaled the turn of the contest towards a weirdly meta, prop-based approach to the dunk contest. Plus it took him 14 attempts to put it in. Iguodala was, in short, robbed." [McPherson/Hardwood Paroxysm]
"Grady Sizemore: When a player starts to get injured as frequently as Grady Sizemore has been the last few years—he's played in just 210 of a possible 486 games since 2009, and barely more than 100 combined the past two—he begins to fade from your consciousness. So it was not until I was looking over Sizemore's card that I remembered just how good he was. From 2006 through 2008, Sizemore put up a .879 OPS (130 OPS+) while averaging more than 30 steals per season at a better than 80 percent success rate, and playing excellent defense in center field besides. For that three-year period, he was arguably one of the five best players in the major leagues. Since then, injuries have relegated him to status as a forgotten man." [Barbieri/Hardball Times]

Where does one start with a 40th anniversary? Not our marriage. That was two years ago.
How about: Paris student demonstrations. Tet offensive. LBJ refuses to run for reelection. Chicago police riot at Democratic national convention. Black Power salute at Olympic games. Congress passes anti-discrimination fair housing law. Sirhan Sirhan kills Bobby Kennedy. James Earl Ray kills Martin Luther King Jr. Cincinnati faces second race riot in two years.
It's that last anniversary that local news media are overlooking -- not PC in this era of utopian racial amity.
Ashes from the 1967 riot still smoldered in popular imagination when we arrived in Cincinnati. Harriet found work at the nascent Housing Opportunities Made Equal (HOME) in the Avondale office it shared with the NAACP. I was a weekend reporter for The Enquirer.
The night King was killed, I was at a McCarthy for President rally at Quebec Gardens on the West Side when Judy Shapiro came in and told everyone about King's assassination.
Cincinnati didn't erupt. Rather, it simmered with unresolved antipathies and there were violent incidents in some black neighborhoods.
Four days after King was shot, James Smith was protecting his apartment next to the HOME/NAACP office from looters. His 20-gauge shotgun accidentally discharged when someone grabbed it. The blast killed his wife, Hattie Mae Johnson Smith.
Someone said a white cop killed a black woman. That was the spark. Rioting broke out and spread into nearby African-American communities. That evening, young black men dragged Noel Wright, a white graduate student, from his car and stabbed him fatally in Mount Auburn. Teenage girls in their mob assaulted Wright's wife, Lois, who survived.
Harriet was at our edge-of-Avondale apartment that night. She took a call from a young man she knew from the HOME/NAACP office. There was trouble, he said. Don't come to work tomorrow. She didn't.
National Guardsmen returned to Cincinnati, and the mayor declared a curfew. Buses were rerouted from Avondale, and educators declared a school holiday. Opening Day was postponed.
Not all black communities were hit by riot and arson. In the West End's historic African-American community, young men calling themselves Black Turks turned away marauding rioters.
Before long, the riot if not the resentments burned out. The most obvious casualty was middle class confidence in the city.
Curmudgeon Notes
� Friend and colleague Lew Moores reminds me of another anniversary: the murderous prisoner uprising at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville this month in 1993. I guess 15 isn't a magical number like 5, 10 or 20 for anniversary news stories.
� Enquirer efforts to localize
� A sign of a terminal loss of confidence among working journalists is the acceptance of the oxymoron "citizen journalist." Journalism is a trade with journeymen, apprentices and aspirants. We can be salaried, freelance or volunteer. Clueless wannabes with camera phones can be useful, but that doesn't make them journalists.
The recent flap over an Obama comment provides a perfect example of why "citizen journalist" is lunacy. Correspondent Ed Pilkington tells the story in London's Guardian on April 14:
"Referring to working-class voters in old industrial towns decimated by job losses, the presidential hopeful said: 'They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.'
"The comments came to light as a result of the Huffington Post's groundbreaking experiment in citizen journalism, Off The Bus. The website runs a network of about 1,800 unpaid researchers, interviewers and writers. One of those writers, Mayhill Fowler, broke the story, despite being a paid-up supporter of Obama.
"She attended a fundraising event in San Francisco on April 6 and recorded Obama's speech. Fowler sat on the material for days, conflicted about what to do with it. (emphasis added) She only published the comments last Friday (April 11).
"She had some real reservations about the story as an Obama supporter,' Amanda Michel, the director of Off The Bus, told the Guardian. 'But she thought as a citizen journalist she had a duty to report the event, despite her support for Barack Obama."
� Judicious skepticism, not cynicism, is a virtue among reporters and editors. However, when the entire pack buys into one unsubstantiated and self-serving version of a national story, the cynic in me cries out.
I'm talking about local, national and international coverage of the raid on the Texas compound of the polygamist Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Texas authorities justify the raid by citing a cell phone call to an unnamed domestic abuse hotline for help by an unidentified 16-year-old girl who claimed she was being physically/sexually abused by her "husband" at the compound.
Everyone is reporting that call as a fact, often without attribution. None of the reporters with whom I have exchanged emails knows of any journalist who has heard a recording or read a transcript of the call. Authorities say they do not know her identity.
Gregory Cunningham, a spokesman for the Department of Family and Protective Services, says, "The call originally came in to a local domestic violence shelter. We're not providing the name of that shelter to maintain confidentiality. The shelter then reported the call to our (Texas Department of Family and Protective Services) statewide abuse hotline. We are not aware of any recordings or transcripts of the original call.�"
There may be none. Domestic abuse hotlines might not record calls as part of their confidentiality efforts.
A participant on Thursday's NPR Diane Rehm show says the reported caller identified herself as "Sarah" and said she claimed to have been beaten so badly that her ribs were broken. Another participant asked why, if that is the case, were Texas authorities unable to identify a teenager with such severe injuries or, if they had, why did they continue to say they had not identified her. Further, one of Rehm's participants said two persons took notes on the call.
More than one person familiar with the case or hotline calls told me that the reported call from "Sarah" doesn't pass the sniff test from what we know now.
� If you missed it, go back and read Polly Campbell's April 9 Enquirer story on Northside eating spots. Fun.
� Similarly, look at Michael Keating's p. 1 Enquirer photo of the two firefighters being carried from their April 10 funeral mass at St. Peter in Chains Cathedral. It was classic Keating. Smart. Vivid storytelling. I knew before I read the credit line.
� Pulitzer-winning Washington Post reporters on NPR pooh-pooh Pentagon claims to be treating emotionally troubled combat veterans. As the reporters noted, if President Bush wants to hire enough civilian psychiatrists and psychologists to cope with admitted shortcomings in care, he need only pay enough to attract them. They don't have to enlist. This war has gone on long enough for the Pentagon to appreciate the emotional as well as physical injuries. As the Unlamented Sage of Defense put it, "You go to war with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time."
� The Associated Press says New York Times correspondent Barry Bearak and British freelancer Stephen Bevan were freed after a magistrate said the government presented no information that a crime had been committed. That cleared them of the non-crime reporting Zimbabwe's election without proper accreditation. The Times said Bearak left Zimbabwe for home in South Africa.

Tighten loose skin with this innovative radio frequency technology.
Exilis is a new opportunity to tighten up loose skin anywhere on the body – as well as the face. Since Exilis utilizes radio frequency, it is not a laser, making it an effective well-tolerated treatment with an exceptionally high safety factor.
Common Treatment Areas:
- Eye area
- Around the mouth or chin
- Jaw line
- Neck and décolleté
- Abdomen
- Back
- Arms, legs, knees
- "Cankles"
Skin Tightening
Power and cooling adjustments determine how deeply the RF penetrates – to get deep enough to disrupt fat cells and also to stay superficially enough to tighten skin that has lost its firmness.
In our clinical experience we see the following:
- Effective tightening on mild to moderately lax skin (professional evaluation needed)
- Minimal actual fat reduction – this is not a result of treatment levels but simply our honest "real-patient" outcomes.
- Age matters. Best for patients under the 60 year mark (this is primarily because maturity also includes collagen-capability slow down).
Exilis works Fast
Patients can see results as soon as 2 to 3 sessions with 4 to 6 sessions recommended. You'll see changes in facial contours, body contours and if targeted for fat reduction, some minor loss of circumference. Because RF energy is color blind, it's safe for any skin color.
Easy, Comfortable and Preparation-Free
A major lure for choosing Exilis is that there is no anesthesia and little to no downtime. Optimal results are achieved after four or six sessions with sessions generally 2 weeks apart. Each session is about 20 to 30 minutes in length. When your treatment is complete you can go back to your day with no signs that you've had a procedure. The only "prep" is drinking water before your session.

text: BAE Systems tests T-shirt antennas Technology 01 August 11 by Olivia Solon BAE Systems has teamed up with the UK's National Physical Laboratory to measure the efficiency of radiation emitted from wearable antennas embedded into T-shirts.Wearable antennas could be a useful way of building communications networks in warzones or of monitoring and transmitting the health of the wearer. Given that they are worn on the body, it is particularly important to understand their performance. The human body absorbs electromagnetic signals so researchers were concerned that the signal could lose power if worn too close.NPL created human dummies made out of a material designed to mimic human tissue to test the antennas. They placed these inside a range of different testing facilities, including a fully anechoic Small Antenna Radiated Testing (SMART) chamber and a ferrite-lined anechoic room, to monitor the 3D and 2D radiation patterns emitted by the garment. They also got a human tester to move into different poses while they tested the signal being emitted from the shirt.The research revealed that in order for the garment to work most efficiently, it needs to positioned slightly away from the body, so would benefit from a less energy-absorbent under-layer.BAE Systems has a long history of antenna research and development for many applications, including precision GPS ground reference antennas and satellite communications. It is currently working on a range of wearable antennas for military use, incorporated into t-shirts, jackets and helmets and is due to release more information and images of these systems in the next few weeks.There is already a company in the US -- Wearable Antenna Technologies -- producing wearable antenna designed for military applications. The Tactical Antenna System is a concealable antenna that can be warn under clothing and over body armour. It can be bought online for $585 (£357).

Following eight hours of quiet amid rumours of an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire, rockets fired by armed Palestinians in the Gaza Strip landed in southern Israel overnight.
There had already been a sharp spike in violence in the Gaza border region over the weekend, as more than 100 rockets landed in southern Israel, sending residents of the region into bomb shelters and protected spaces, while school was cancelled for most children in the area. Three Israeli civilians were lightly wounded in Sderot and the Shar Hanegev region. In response, Israel's air force carried out operations against strategic targets in the Gaza Strip, reportedly resulting in the deaths of five Palestinians.
It had been reported yesterday evening that Egyptian intelligence officials were mediating a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which has controlled the Gaza Strip since 2007, in order to de-escalate the violence. Hamas has taken an increasingly direct role in rocket attacks on Israel over the past several weeks, which are also carried out by other armed groups. However, after eight hours of quiet, a rocket exploded in the vicinity of a house in the town of Netivot. The family inside the house was unharmed having taken cover, but the building itself was severely damaged and three other properties also suffered damage. Three additional rockets also hit southern Israel overnight. In response, Israel's Air Force bombed strategic sites in the Gaza Strip including a rocket-launching site and a weapons storage site.
Yesterday, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his cabinet "The world needs to understand that Israel will not sit idly by in the face of attempts to attack us. We are prepared to intensify the response." Meanwhile, Defence Minister Ehud Barak gave a more specific warning, saying "If we are forced to go back into Gaza in order to deal Hamas a [serious] blow and restore security for all of Israel's citizens, then we will not hesitate to do so."

Created by a mother with considerable experience with the latest "hi-tech" innovations, combines the power of play with technology.
Lapiluv was created by Patricia Martin White. Necessity is the mother of invention and in the case of Patricia a new, first-time mother, and talented graphic designer came to her as an inspiration. Patricia has an eye for design and has been creating brands and websites for small businesses for over seven years. She has been bitten by the entrepreneurial bug since she moved to the United States from her native country of Spain.
As she held her new baby on her lap while working at the computer, Patricia asked herself: how can I interact with my baby, on my lap, eye-to-eye, with toys he can hold, squeeze, chew and grab and actually create an interactive play experience? For one thing it was easier to keep the baby facing her so she could gaze into his eyes. It would also be great to not have all the toys end up on the floor, over and over again. And what if the computer screen she was using that provided hours of colorful images, sounds and stories could be a part of the experience? What if she could leverage her iphone or ipad and create a wearable technology and play system?

The state House should abandon its proposal to impose a tax on candy, writes Jean Thompson, CEO of Seattle Chocolates. The tax that consumers pay will have them buying less of the confections produced by Washington manufacturers that already are struggling in a difficult economy.
IN an effort to raise revenue, the governor proposed and the state House is considering a tax on candy. That includes confections made by Washington companies such as Seattle Chocolates, Fran's, Brown & Haley, Johnson's Candy, Liberty Orchards, Theo's and Dilettante's before Washington consumers have an inkling that their favorite candy treats are about to cost them more.
The truth is, the adoption of a discriminatory sales tax will have an immediate impact on our state's many confectionery businesses. Unfortunately, while hurting Washington confectioners, the revenue raised from such a tax will be insignificant compared to the budget deficit we face.
At Seattle Chocolates, we've been selling fine chocolates that are a celebration of life since 1993. We sell confections made with wonderful, all-natural ingredients such as double-distilled Northwest peppermint oil, legendary Seattle espresso, pure hazelnut butter and freeze-dried natural blackberries. I am optimistic about the future growth of Seattle Chocolates and want to share this growth with our 50 full-time employees and 40 seasonal employees.
But the past year has been tough economically, and we are mindful of every dollar we spend in our business. We value our employees and provide excellent benefits packages that include good health-care programs, paid vacation and retirement savings plans.
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- A six-pack of observations from Seahawks' OTAs: Justin Britt, Alex Collins, Tharold Simon and more
Most Read Stories
But the costs of these benefits are increasing, especially with the cost of health care. At the same time, the price of sugar and cocoa, two of our main ingredients, are at all-time highs. We also have an annual corporate donation budget for organizations based in the Pacific Northwest that advocate on behalf of women, children and cancer research.
We are doing the best we can to manage all our costs and still take advantage of growth opportunities for Seattle Chocolates. The last thing our company or other local confectionery businesses can afford at this time is to tax our customers for buying our products. Instead, we need a business environment in Washington that supports small businesses and that will promote our growth. If we can continue to grow, we can continue to hire more Washingtonians.
In addition to the impact on the business of candy, the tax proposal is discriminatory as well as confusing. Candy is being singled out as an "OK" food to tax because it's not a "necessary" food.
Tell that to your mother, friends and the fourth-grade teacher who smile with pleasure at the mere thought of chocolate. And tell that to the producers of the butter, cream, nuts, fruits and cocoa that we purchase to use in our chocolates. These same ingredients are also in ice cream, cakes, cookies, brownies, peanut butter and cherry pie, yet these items will not be taxed. Are these "necessary" foods?
And to further add to the nonsensical nature of this tax, the definition of candy is not straightforward. In the proposal under consideration by the House, a chocolate-covered salted pretzel would not be taxed, yet our chocolate-covered caramel would.
The ambiguities in the definition will distort the candy marketplace and cause very real collection and enforcement problems at retail stores that lack sophisticated scanning systems.
Seattle Chocolates is proud to be located in Washington, in the Seattle community that is our namesake, and we stand prepared to do our share to help our community in these difficult economic times. However, we do not support a tax program that singles out our products and, most important, that taxes the consumers of our products.
It makes more sense from a tax-policy standpoint to treat all food the same.
Jean Thompson is the owner and CEO of Seattle Chocolate Company.

Q: What is Haunt ME?
A: Haunt ME is a web series focusing on haunted or supposedly haunted Maine locations. Our team goes in to learn about the history of the place and then investigates to see if there is any validity to the claims. We use a variety of equipment and techniques to make this determination, and each one of our members has a specific style or job so we are sure that we can cover all bases.
Q: What is a web series? Is it different from a TV show?
A: Yes and no. A web series is any video production series that airs online. Our show is very much like a TV show in that we have episodes that will air each week after our premiere date, but this release will occur online. We are very excited to be apart of the online web series community, which is an exciting new way to experience television programs.
Q: Who is on your investigation team?
A: We have four investigators who appear in our episodes. They each have a specific job title and you will see them working on related tasks throughout each episode. They are Ashley Brooks (group leader), Carol Cleveland (historian), Ty Gowen (audio analyst/location scout), and Katie Webb (occultist).
Q: Who does your filming?
A: We have a behind the scenes crew that works diligently to make our episodes and adventures possible. The tech team includes the talents of Nick Nordfors, Mike Strout, Charlie Widdis, Krista Bertalan, Erin Cross, Johnny Speckman, and Anna Halloran.
Q: What equipment do you use?
A: Please view "Our Equipment" page (COMING SOON).
Q: When did Haunt ME premiere?
A: Haunt ME premiered our first episode at Coast City Comicon on November 11th, 2012.
Q: What is the rating system?
A: View our "Rating System" page (COMING SOON).
Q: What does the rating system do?
A: Our rating system includes five levels, with numbers ranging from 1 to 10. When we arrive at a location, we interview those with relevant experiences and collect any evidence that they have to offer us. We give the haunt a "pre-rate" based on this data. After our own investigation, we assign a score based on our findings. We then average these two scores together to give the location a final rating. We feel this is more fair, because it takes into account the stories of those who spend much more time in the building than we do.
Q: Why is there not a 0 rating?
A: We feel that would be unfair, because we are only there for a short time and it would be presumptuous to say a place is not haunted when we are there for only a small fraction of the time that the homeowners or building managers are.
Q: Do you actually catch real evidence?
A: We are honest. Sometimes there is literally no evidence. When that happens, we will tell you the truth, and the episode will be more about our journey and debunking the claims. We aim to make each episode entertaining while remaining truthful. That said, even the haunts we seem to think are the most uneventful end up scaring a lot of people!
Q: How can I support your show?
A: You can like us on Facebook, visit our shop (COMING SOON), and continue watching our episodes!
Q: Is Haunt ME appropriate for children to watch?
A: We are a clean program but certain scenes could be scary for children. We would probably not recommend the show for those under the age of 12. Of course, use your own discretion.
Q: I think my house is haunted. Will you come investigate?
A: While we only focus on public buildings or residences with notable Maine history, if you are having a paranormal problem we would be more than happy to counsel or refer you to a reputable group in your area. If you own a business or have a house with interesting local history, we would love to discuss doing an investigation for season 4 (2015 filming season). Please email us at email@example.com.
Q: Can I join your team?
A: Our team is full and we are not looking for more members. Keep a lookout for different events that we schedule throughout the year, though. We have had several group ghost hunts this past year, and plan on doing even more in the 2015 season. This is a good way to meet other like-minded people and perhaps form a group of your own!
Q: What is the Entertainment Experiment?
A: The Entertainment Experiment is an online network that displays the talents of Maine film makers, web series creators, musicians and artists. It is a channel that features many other great web series out of Maine, including Ragged Isle, Food Coma TV, Vacationlanders, and the radio drama The Cleansed.
If you would like to contact Haunt ME about a media request, please complete the form at the bottom of the page or send an email to email@example.com
Ty Gowen and Anna Halloran joined us today to talk about the upcoming premier of Haunt ME's 3rd season. If you're not yet familiar with Haunt ME you should get familiar as soon as possible!
The story of Ty Gowen '08, an English major and Art minor, was recently added to the MaineDreams website, a repository of inspirational stories about Maine people who are living their dreams.
03.06.15 MaineDreams
Ty Gowen grew up in Southern Maine and is now a lead ghost investigator on the show Haunt ME. Haunt ME is a ghost hunting web series that takes place right here in Maine.
"'Haunt ME' is a web series that focuses on a group of five paranormal investigators who explore different homes and buildings in Maine looking for unusual activity."
04.28.14 webvee
"If you love having your gooses bumped, or hiding behind a large pillow while braver people walk down dimly lit corridors seeking out the dead, then this one's for you"
04.08.14 DNA Photography
"Ever walk by a mirror at night and swear that you've seen something a little extra in your reflection?"
02.28.13 Biddeford-Saco-OOB Courier
"The Biddeford mills have caught the attention of a group of local paranormal investigators."
01.14.13 Portland Press Herald
"You don't have to be Stephen King to know that Maine can be a scary place."
Haunt ME is a web series that focuses on a group of paranormal investigators exploring their home state of Maine. Maine is one of the least explored and least populated states in the continental U.S. The natural beauty of Maine is well-known, and the isolation of this northeastern state lends itself to both mystery and intrigue.
All five investigators – Ashley Brooks (leader), Carol Cleveland (historian), Ty Gowen (audio analyst/location scout), Shawn Ruarke (visual analyst) and Katie Webb (occultist) – were born and raised in Maine, as well as the show's producer, Nick Nordfors. While they all have different backgrounds, skills and interests, they share a passion for their home state and for seeking out the unknown.
Since the first season, the Haunt ME investigators have even traveled all over southern Maine, visiting places like the old Biddeford Textile Mills, Fort Knox, and were even stranded overnight in the midst of the Atlantic on Seguin Island. Through their adventures, the show has garnered attention from local press outlets including the Portland Press Herald and multiple radio stations. The team also hosts tours and walkthroughs of some of the venues they've investigated, and quickly gathered an online following. Included in the fan base is Grant Wilson, formerly from the show Ghost Hunters, who is also credited with composing the theme song.
The investigators of Haunt ME try to maintain a fresh and exciting take on the paranormal field. With the adoption of the shows unique rating system, Haunt ME ranks haunted Maine places against each other; providing a catalog of the bizarre and macabre venues here in Vacationland. This way the people who live and work in these haunted spaces can see how their stories and haunts compare to others in their community, opening up a network of communication for the haunted. This service also provides potential hunters and current viewers with a guide to Maine's spookiest offerings.
Haunt ME explores places in Maine with notable history, or those buzzing with local anecdotes and lore. The group uses a combination of scientific and metaphysical devices to produce the most irrefutable evidence possible. While each member has different beliefs about what it is they are seeking out, they share some common ground in that they all believe there is in fact, something to seek out. Haunt ME attempts to document their efforts as they visit these places in order to bring some history and mystery to your computers, televisions and other digital devices.

as well."
Before starting work on AVADDS, Marshall called Dell, which agreed to donate an array of hardware to beef up the system, he said, adding that Micron Corp. helped by donating Flash and DRAM memory products to the project.
Marshall and Weighall met with Hasdorff, who explained what the system needed to do and how it should look. They also met with EMA officials to learn how Tracker worked. In addition, the state utilized the expertise of a disaster response specialist from Utah and a team of AmeriCorps volunteers from St. Louis who specialize in disaster response.
"We had them very closely working with us to set up this system, because they do this so often. They know how it needs to handle the volunteer aspect, and how it needs to handle the donated goods aspect," Hasdorff said.
One AmeriCorps volunteer eventually became the matching coordinator and others helped staff the call center.
Nights on the Floor
Once they understood what the GFBCI required of the system, Marshall and Weighall got down to the nitty-gritty.
"They worked for about four to six days on this, nonstop, all through the night, I believe," Hasdorff said.
"Yes, we did spend some nights on the office floor in between long stints of working," Marshall concedes.
Marshall and Weighall designed AVADDS to run on multiple computers, so more capacity can be added as the system requires more computing power, Marshall said. Auburn University hosts the system on its infrastructure.
The matching coordinator can browse AVADDS for good and services starting with a high-level category, such as "emergency medical capabilities," and then narrow the query to more detailed levels, such as "toxic recovery" or "pollution and environmental," Marshall said.
AVADDS also contains a sophisticated search engine, similar to Google, which the matching coordinator uses to locate goods and services that don't fit conventional categories, he said.
Along with Tracker, AVADDS has links to several other systems used to coordinate emergency relief. One is the White House's USA Freedom Corps Web site, which offers links for people who want to volunteer for hurricane relief in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi or Texas.
"If you go in through Freedom Corps and go into Alabama and say you want to volunteer there, it takes you to our site," Hardoff said, adding that volunteers can then sign up through AVADDS.
Other links include the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's National Emergency Resource Registry (NERR) and its regional SouthWest Emergency Response Network (SWERN), both of which give the matching coordinator further options for arranging assistance.
"We can go in through NERR and pull down things into our warehouse," Hasdorff said. "Maybe someone through the SWERN system knows there's a need in Mississippi or someplace for something we have in Alabama. We can communicate with them."
State officials will continue to use AVADDS to coordinate disaster relief in the future.
"I view this as something that will be a long-sustained partnership between Auburn University and ourselves," Hasdorff said, noting that a system like AVADDS should be ready at all times so it can be turned on at the flick of a switch.
"The system obviously can be retrofitted for a wide variety of needs -- anything from a tornado in Tuscaloosa to a mudslide in Huntsville," she said.
At Auburn University, Marshall and Weighall continue to refine AVADDS through the addition of telephony and wireless capabilities, Marshall said, with the goal of creating better coordination among various volunteer agencies.
In the future, Alabama officials want to integrate AVADDS with other systems used to coordinate volunteers on the national level, such as the ones being developed by the National VOAD and the Points of Light Foundation, Hasdorff said. They also want to make AVADDS available outside Alabama.
"We want it to be something other states can utilize," she said. "It was built with that understanding, that it would be a model, possibly, for other states."
