edit Rough Draft of "Article gets +21 votes on VFH"
From the news article: UnNews:Article gets +21 votes on VFH. It was suggested that I move it here.
Only a few days after going back to featuring "Today's Featured Article" for only one day, instead of the previous two, the article, The defense rests, your honor received 21 "for" votes and no "against" after a mere 3 days on VFH. The article, nominated on VFH by SysRq, and written by noted admin Modusoperandi, is the first article surpass +20 votes in a long while on VFH. Upon hearing of his accomplishment, Modus is heard to have said, "I'd like to thank all of the little people that I crushed to get where I am," and, "Can I wear my Kernel Popcorn costume?" SysRq, the article nominator is quoted as saying, "I was the one who nommed that article; I deserve some recognition."
For those of you are new around here, VFH is the process by which uncyclopedia nominates articles for "Today's Featured Article", the article in the top left corner on the mainpage. All users of uncyclopedia, including anonymous ip users are encouraged to vote on VFH and nominate articles on VFH. VFH can be found here, but typing in VFH in the search box, by clicking the "Votes for Highlight" link under the community links on the right (its second from the bottom between "Pee Review" and "Votes for Pictures"), and Uncyclopedia:VFH, in addition to several other redirects.
Many users have expressed approval of this accomplishment, as the more votes an article gets, the better an article is. Therefore, by voting on an article, one injects more quality into an article, in the same way that manufacturers "inspect" quality back into a finished part. Additionally, the admins will not longer be forced to torture various cute animals to inspire users to vote in VFH: provided VFH doesn't stall out again.

edit SysRq Presents A Filler Story: Uncyclopedians on Xbox Live
hundreds dozens some Uncyclopedians have joined the ranks of thousands of pizza-faced proud high school graduates and pre-pubescent twelve year old boys in the dysfunctional, loosely connected network of gamers known as Xbox Live. Among these traitors to Uncyclopedia were Orian57, a friend of the UnSignpost and frequently featured writer. Other Uncyclopedians on Xbox Live include The Woodburninator, Mhaille, Bonner, and Heerenveen. How could such successful Uncyclopedians go so wrong? I went undercover as "Pope Gustav" to expose these turncoats and find out why they abandoned the site in such number s.
The following is an actual transcript between me (under the alias "Pope Gustav") and Orian57 (under the alias "Orian57") on Xbox Live.
Pope Gustav: Hey buddy, it's SysRq from Uncyclopedia.
Orian57: Hello. You want to play some Horde?
Pope Gustav: Yeah, man. We're playing on Gridlock, right?
Orian57: Actually, Security is a much easier map for Horde.
Pope Gustav: Cool.
This is stunning evidence that Orian57, along with others, is leaving the site for the glamorous life of Xbox Live. When confronted with this transcript and these accusations, Orian replied that "I was just on Uncyclopedia today. I was just bored and wanted something else to do." Oddly enough, all of the other Uncyclopedians that have Xbox Live accounts that I spoke to also claimed to have "lives" outside of Uncyclopedia, lives that mainly consist of playing Halo 3.

- If you can't think of anything, how about a story about Boomer retiring from being the dictator of pee review, and U.U. taking his place. --Mnbvcxz 05:41, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
edit UnderUser Now Head of Pee Review
In a surprise move, Boomer, former dictator in absentia of the Pee Review committee, has announced his retirement officially. In his place, he has appointed Under user, notable reviewer and maintainer of the Pee Review committee page, to his old position of Captain Catheter. Some regular pee reviewers are worried, Orian57 was heard to say, "If Under user is going to do Boomer's job, then who the hell are we going to get the do U.U.'s old job of keeping track of pee reviews, judging the quality of pee reviews, and actually getting around to doing pee reviews! Don't look at me, I'm gay."
Under user put aside such fears, promising to continue doing his job, in addition to doing everything that Boomer does. However, some users are still not convinced this is a good idea, or even possible. One, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, "I seriously doubt that Under can do Boomer's job and his own at the same time. I mean, how can Under-User be accused of being a lazy arse if he has almost twice as many good pee reviews as anyone else and does 75% of the pee review maintenance tasks! This ruins the running pee review committee in-joke about the Captain Catheter not doing anything. There is no way this can work." --Mnbvcxz 15:55, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

- Just put my name in it, that way people think I'm still actually doing something for this site. I really want to do something but I'm not sure what. :S SK Sir Orian57Talk RotM 05:57 9 January 2009
- This will go in the next issue, whenever MrN gets around to firing up the paperbot and sending out the current issue. It will need a tweak or two, and a quote from someone like, er, me. I suggest: "I'm relieved to be taking up this position as it will drastically reduce the number of reviews I'm expected to do. Also, I'm thinking of introducing a policy of stripping Orian57, and only him, of his RotM award, his rank, his mittens and his right to drink hot chocolate ever again unless he does a bloody review any time soon". That ought to do it. ;-) --UU - natter 09:40, Jan 9

edit Story, Girl Pictured in Image:Do a jailbait.jpg Determined to be a Shemale, World Revealed
Ok, this is stupid and maybe to in-jokey, but still, it filler. Also, I'm going to ask people to put their own comments in here instead of making up quotes. --Mnbvcxz 17:22, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
To the relief of uncyclopedia, notorious image Image:Do a jailbait.jpg has been scientifically proven not be a girl. Originally, many suspected that the disturbing and disturbingly attractive image was that of young girl: age estimates ranging from jail bait age down to "pedo-bear approves" age. However, do to much "research" on the internet regarding the appearance shemales who are just over the age of consent, it has been determined that said image was in fact a young shemale. Researchers said the hairy arms and the huge penis of the image in question prove without a doubt that the image can't be that of a girl.
Many in the uncyclopedia community have been relived by the news. (insert comments here)

Virtual PBX Puts a Professional Spin on VoIP
Assessing the Providers
The growing demand for virtual PBX has led to an increase in the number of VoIP companies offering
Currently the top five virtual PBX providers in the market are GotVMail, Packet8, RingCentral, Vocalocity, and VoiceNation. RingCentral and VoiceNation have distinguished themselves in creating
Vocalocity focuses less on the specific services provided than it does on the cost of its service. It stands out as a leader in lowering the overall calling costs for all types of businesses. Packet8 also emphasizes lower costs but distinguishes itself from Vocalocity by concentrating on features as well. Its most outstanding benefit is that it offers scalability, allowing you to get the various services you need at an affordable rate as your business grows.
Each company has a different feature that makes it particularly useful to certain customers over others. For example, one of the main advantages of virtual PBX is its ability to offer reduced calling costs on long-distance and international calls. The company that does best in this area overall is Vocalocity, mainly because it eliminates the long-distance charge and offers a low-cost rate for calls through the system. In contrast with the policies of other companies, Vocalocity's rates do not differ significantly based on the area you are calling, which is the main reason that it can lower costs for all types of businesses.
Another great feature of VoIP that should appeal specifically to small businesses is its potential to increase the professional credibility of the company by helping it appear larger than it is. One of the major leaders in developing and promoting this type of approach to VoIP is RingCentral, which focuses on providing services such as call-center features. Because of this approach, RingCentral
VoiceNation is another virtual PBX VoIP provider that succeeds in this regard. It promises to give the impression that employees working in remote locations are all situated in one office, and small businesses that use this company have reported that it lives up to that claim. For businesses that operate primarily through freelance contractors and work-at-home staff, this service is a way to present clients with a united front despite the lack of a single shared office space.
Packet8 excels in its ability to set up a virtual call center, and it puts emphasis on its service's scalability,
To determine the best plan for your business, assess your calling needs and do research on which VoIP providers offer combinations of your desired features at the lowest rate. The main thing to
When researching, seek out companies that have several set calling plans. For example, RingCentral offers four levels of plans designed for businesses of varying size. The company's
RingCentral's four-tiered pricing system makes choosing a suitable plan fairly easy, but it doesn't give you the means to change specific features or add the ones you desire. In contrast, Packet8 offers 13 different calling plans at various prices with a range of features designed to express the scalability of its VoIP services. While the wide selection gives you more options, it can make
In addition to choosing a good basic rate for your plan, make sure to review carefully the number of minutes your plan includes, as well as the cost of calls that exceed those limits. For instance, RingCentral and GotVMail both have plans that cost $50 per month and cover 1000 minutes, but the additional per-minute rate for RingCentral is 4.8 cents, while for GotVMail it's 5.8 cents. GotVMail, however,

On the front of Sunday's Business section, Washington Post columnist Steven Pearlstein slammed GOP candidates: "If you came up with a bumper sticker that pulls together the platform of this year's crop of Republican presidential candidates, it would have to be: Repeal the 20th century. Vote GOP."
Pearlstein seemed especially insulted that Gov. Rick Perry would suggest John Maynard Keynes and his "stimulus" economics were through, and no one on the Republican stage came to the liberal icon's defense. Somehow, reporters (and former reporters like Pearlstein) always expect there to be a liberal in the other party's fold. Liberals really hate it when you say their ideas are outdated.
In the paper, the column headline was "The Republicans' magical thinking." Here's how Pearlstein followed up the "Repeal the 20th century" stuff:
t's not just the 21st century they want to turn the clock back on — health-care reform, global warming and the financial regulations passed in the wake of the recent financial crises and accounting scandals.
These folks are actually talking about repealing the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and the Environmental Protection Agency, created in 1970s.
They're talking about abolishing Medicare and Medicaid, which passed in the 1960s, and Social Security, created in the 1930s.
They reject as thoroughly discredited all of Keynesian economics, including the efficacy of fiscal stimulus, preferring the budget-balancing economic policies that turned the 1929 stock market crash into the Great Depression.
They also reject the efficacy of monetary stimulus to fight recession, and give the strong impression they wouldn't mind abolishing the Federal Reserve and putting the country back on the gold standard.
They refuse to embrace Darwin's theory of evolution, which has been widely accepted since the Scopes Trial of the 1920s.
One of them is even talking about repealing the 16th and 17th amendments to the Constitution, allowing for a federal income tax and the direct election of senators — landmarks of the Progressive Era.
What's next — repeal of quantum physics?
Not every candidate embraces every one of these kooky ideas. But what's striking is that when Rick Perry stands up and declares that "Keynesian policy and Keynesian theory is now done," not one candidate is willing to speak up for the most important economic thinker of the 20th century. Or when Michele Bachmann declares that natural selection is just a theory, none of the other candidates is willing to risk the wrath of the religious right and call her on it. Leadership, it ain't.
Pearlstein somehow missed (or thought it wasn't specific enough) when Jon Huntsman was set up to declare the GOP couldn't be seen as "anti-science."

Gaga Takes The Bull By The Horns
I've heard of fan fiction, but not fan album covers. One of Lady Gaga's particularly creative "monsters" created this cover for the single "Alejandro," beating famous photog Steven Klein to the punch. (Klein reportedly directed the yet unreleased video.) Oddly, the placement of this scar looks very appendectomy-esque. [YVY]


text: I have my Yamah PSR-280 keyboard hooked up to my Intel iMac via the M-Audio Midisport UNO. Unfortunatly, when I try to play it the notes sound all distorted, and sometimes aren't even the correct ones at all. I get some "over-tone" sort of sounds, some keys play really deep distorted notes, others play one that is an octave up/down. I've install the latest M-Audio drivers (Universal Binarys, version 3.2.2), but still no luck! Any ideas? Should I just get the Yamaha MIDI to USB converter (and spend more money)? Please help a musician in need! Thanks, -- Colin

The General Direction of Universities, Research and Knowledge Transfer, jointly with the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) and the Institute of Business Innovation of the Balearic Islands (IDI), organizes the third edition of this Forum as a meeting between research groups of the knowledge or technological centers of the island, and the technology based companies by means of the clusters that represent them, and to which our general direction and the IDI belong as a partners. These Clusters, or Groupings of Innovative Companies, take a narrow participation in the organization for being an object and final cause of the event.
The Council of Education, Culture and Universities, by means of the Headquarter of the Universities, Research and Knowledge Transfer of the Government of the Balearic Islands, exerts the authority on promotion, development and coordination of the science, technology and innovation system of the Balearic Islands and has developed in the field of its matters the Science, Technology and Innovation Plan of the Balearic Islands 2009-2012 (PCTI).
One of the axes of the program of the PCTI (specifically the axis 4.3.3. on the innovation) foresees definitely the politics of clusters, as the channel to have a bearing on the innovation scene actors and to support the creation of competitive environments, trying so the companies being more innovative and having better access to the knowledge economy. The definition of a cluster is that of a geographical concentration of interrelated companies that cover all or the greater part of the value chain, which compete against each other but also cooperate. These characteristic elements permit companies to obtain synergies and establish means of cooperation which, combined with the effectiveness resulting from know-how acquired, results in greater competitiveness both for the companies themselves as well as for the region as a whole.
Six I.E.A. o clusters take part in Forotec, that represent six of the economic sectors detected as priorities in the PCTI 2009-2012: technological innovation for the tourism, technology of the information and the communication applied to the tourism, musical activity of Ibiza, audiovisual, biotechnology and maritime, of which three already have been recognized and inscribed as a groupings of innovative companies in the PIMES general direction of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism.

Elizabeth Elstob (1683–1756), the "Saxon Nymph", was born and brought up in the Quayside area of Newcastle upon Tyne, and, like Mary Astell of Newcastle, is nowadays regarded as one of the first English feminists. She was proficient in eight languages and became a pioneer in Anglo-Saxon studies, an unprecedented achievement for a woman in the period.
In London she translated Madeleine de Scudéry's Essay upon Glory in 1708 and an English-Saxon Homily on the Nativity of St Gregory in 1709. Both works are dedicated to Queen Anne, who is praised in feminist prefaces.
From 1702, Elstob was part of the circle of intelligent women around Mary Astell, who helped to find subscribers for her Rudiments of Grammar for the English-Saxon Tongue (1715), the first such work written in English. The preface, An Apology for the Study of Northern Antiquities, took issue with the formidable Jonathan Swift and seems to have caused him to amend his views.
Elstob's brother William (1673–1715) was sent to Eton and Cambridge and entered the church. Like his sister, he was a scholar and edited Roger Ascham's Letters in 1703. Elizabeth lived with him at Oxford from 1696, and in London from 1702.
After her brother's death she became dependent on her friends and retired to Evesham in Worcestershire, where she set up a school. After a hard struggle she obtained so many pupils that she had "scarcely time to eat." She was still in difficulties, as her scholars only paid a groat a week, She was introduced to the Duchess of Portland, daughter and was made governess to the duchess's children in the autumn of 1738, and remained in the same service until her death, 3 June 1756. In her last years she lived "surrounded by the congenial elements of dirt and her books".

He first started to think about turning at an age when most up-and-coming dirt bike riders are already making a living racing around the track in front of sold out stadiums on a Saturday night.
But Justin Brayton's parents wanted him to graduate from high school first. Most of the Supercross stars in Saturday night's AMA season opener at Angel Stadium took the home schooling route, so they could concentrate on landing a contract with a factory team by the time they turned 16.
Brayton, on the other hand had never even ridden on a Supercross track until he was 20. Compare that to a marquee rider such as James Stewart. By the time he turned 20, he already had won two regional championships and 17 main events.
But Saturday night they will lineup alongside each other for what promises to be one of the most competitive races ever held in Anaheim as a record 10 main-event winners will be in the starting gate.
Because he got such a late start in a series that favors youth, Brayton is really surprised that he ever made it to this level, riding for one of the top teams in the sport: Toyota Joe Gibbs Racing. Being in this position wasn't even in his wildest dreams.
"I can't stress that enough," Brayton, 28, said. "I am so excited and blessed by the opportunities that I have. My work ethic, I think, got me to where I am."
When he was growing up in Fort Dodge, Iowa, Brayton used to ride his dirt bike just for fun. Getting paid for it never crossed his mind. The whole idea of turning what was really a hobby into a profession seemed far fetched.
That was until he entered an Arenacross race in Des Moines, Iowa, when he was a senior in high school. He had the fastest lap in practice, won his heat and beat a lot of the riders that he watched on TV. He made some money that night and opened some eyes, he said. Mainly his own.
"On the ride back from the race, I told myself that I might be better than I think I am. So my parents and I decided to try out being a professional for a year and see how it goes," he said. "If it didn't work out, I would go to back to school."
It took him some time to get up to speed after he first entered a regional Supercross race in 2004, but he made steady progress in the years that followed and in 2009 he finished fourth in the Western Division rider standings after finishing second in Phoenix and third in Anaheim.
The following year he made his debut in the premier 450cc Supercross class, and he has placed in the top five points in two of the past three seasons, finishing fourth last season with Team Honda.
During the offseason, he went to Europe to compete in three major races. He won two of them – the Genoa Supercross at the PalaFiera in Genoa, Italy, and the International Supercross Geneva in La Voie de Moens, Geneva, Switzerland – and finished on the podium in the other, placing third at the 30th annual Bercy Supercross in Paris.
Brayton said he has never felt more prepared heading into a Supercross season.
"I want to come out swinging (at the Anaheim season opener). I want to be aggressive and set the tone," Brayton said. "I want to let it be known that I am going to be a player in the championship."

I cannot put into words what I just experienced.
Twelve women, all mothers, mostly strangers. Except in this town, there is only degree of separation between all of us.
We are all writers. We are all reading for Spokane's production of Listen To Your Mother. We are all baring our souls for a crowd of paying listeners. On Mother's Day.
The caliber of these women is amazing. The coordinator's are immaculate. Every detail has been considered and addressed. Consideration has been given to how this will make US react. How to make this an affirming experience for us, as writers. How we can create a safe place, between the twelve of us. How best for the audience to experience our words. To ensure they get the most out of this production.
Tonight was our first rehearsal. Tonight was the first time we all met. Tonight we all read our pieces. These stories are our collective stories. Yours, mine, theirs, ours. This thing we call Living Life. While experiences and details are unique, the emotions are transcendent.
If you are local and would like to witness, experience and FEEL these women's words, join us on Sunday, May 8 at the Lair Auditorium at Spokane Community College. Tickets can be purchased online here: http://listentoyourmotherspokane.eventbrite.com/
You will not be disappointed.

Pu Mat National Park, located in the central province of Nghe An and classified as a World Biosphere Reserve (the largest in Southeast Asia) by UNESCO in April, has long been known for its bio-diversity.

State of rest: An old woman of the Dan Lai ethnic group residing in Pu Mat National Park still practises the custom of sitting-sleeping by a fire to keep herself warm and ready to fight against wild animals. — VNA/VNS Photo Phuong Hoa
Covering 1.3 million ha, the park includes the Pu Huong and Pu Hoat reserve zones, creating a 500km green corridor along side the Viet Nam – Lao border.
Le Thanh Do, responsible for tourism promotion of the park, told the Viet Nam News that the park received around 9,000 visitors per year on average.
"The high peak tourism season falls between April and September," he said adding, "two thirds of tourists are foreigners."
In co-operation with local tourism agencies, the park has developed a tourist map linking Cua Lo Beach, Kim Lien Village (hometown of President Ho Chi Minh) and Pu Mat National Park.
Do said that, apart from the 30 rooms for rent inside the park itself and hundreds of privately-owned hotels in nearby Con Cuong Town centre, additional accommodation and entertainment services were essential in managing greater tourist numbers.
Established in 2001, Pu Mat park hosts 896 different species of plants, 220 valuable herbs, hundreds of vegetables and fruits, 241 types of mammals, 137 types of birds and 25 types of reptiles. The forest is also the habitat of the largest herd of elephants in Viet Nam as well as endangered animals such as the sao la (a rare species of twin-horned wild cattle), tiger, panther and leopard.
Located 25km from Con Cuong Town, the 500m high Khe Kem Waterfall has always been popular among tourists, resembling a white silk scarf against the green canopy of the forest.
"Although I've visited the forest during each season of the year," said Hai Nhu, a student from the central city of Vinh. "I am always freshly astonished by the plant life."
Large, flat stones at the foot of the fall offer ideal resting places for tourists sheltering in a cooling 200C heat, Nhu added.
Lying 40km from the park main office along the Tuong Duong - Ky Son route, the peaceful valley is covered by thousands of 20-40m high sang le trees, which belong to the family of bang lang (Lagerstroemia speciosa).
"The valley, filled with violet blossoms in summer, has inspired countless poems and songs based on the romantic beauty of its green and whitish grey colours," Do said, adding that, "although many have called it the Green Valley, he preferred the name Violet Flower Valley."
The Sang Le forest hosts both recognisable and unknown trees, luring both domestic and foreign scientists, according to Do.
The forest, currently covering 70ha, will expand to 300ha under new park management plans, help protect local residents against flooding, prevent soil erosion and save water for community consumption.
Nguyen Thanh Nhan, director of Pu Mat National Park, said that local Thai ethnic minority from nearby Quang Thinh Village, which tourists are allowed to visit along with close lying caves, have done much to protect the Sang Le forest.
According to Nhan, the park presents a perfect backdrop for preserving the traditional weaving art, dance and gong playing of the Thai; the art of playing lip instruments and bamboo flutes by the Mong; water rice agriculture of the Tay Poong; sitting-sleeping customs of the Dan Lai and traditional dancing and singing of the Kho Mu.
As many as seven ethnic groups with a combined population of more than 800,000 were currently living in the park, Nhan added.
Ho Duc Phoc, chairman of the Nghe An Province People's Committee, admitted that local authorities faced a problem in creating a balance between preserving biodiversity and natural resources, promoting social economic development and maintaining the traditional cultural values of local ethnic groups.
Legend tells of a tree growing deep inside the forest whose bark cannot be destroyed by termites or insects such as cockroaches, spiders and mosquitoes that fear the smell of its wood, used by the Mong to build their extremely durable houses.
In 2004, Tran Xuan Cuong, head of the park's Science Research Department, conducted research into the characteristics of the sa mu dau (Cunninghamia Konishii Hayata), in order to obtain heritage status for these species of trees, of which 60 were discovered.
The largest among those discovered, designated as a Heritage Tree of Viet Nam last December, reached 70m in height, its trunk 23.7m in circumference with a diameter of 5.5m.
Cuong confirmed that these trees, only appearing at 900m above sea level in humid hilly soil, were difficult to reproduce naturally, park scientists having tried but failed many times.
"Although we continue to try and grow more trees, we have still to succeed," Cuong said. — VNS

PLANS to build 170 homes in Rowhedge have been submitted.
Bloor Homes wants to develop the site of former warehouses at Rowhedge Wharf, off the High Street.
The proposed development includes 15 flats, 155 houses, a boat storage building which could accommodate a doctor's surgery, and a boat slipway.
However, because of the high costs associated with developing the site, Bloor Homes have ruled out including any affordable homes in its plans, which has been met with concern by residents.
A spokesman for Bloor Homes said: "The intention if we get planning permission through is we want to get on with the development as quickly as possible thereafter."
The project, which has been split into two phases, is expected to be completed within four years, with the first six to 12 months spent on getting the site ready for building.
The first phase will be an access road to the Wharf site from Rectory Road, which means no construction traffic would have to use High Street, and the second is for the homes and community facilities.
Residents can have their say on the plans until May 19, by contacting Colchester Council planning department.
The proposals will be decided by planning committee members in August.

This article was published 11/7/2011 (2231 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A great big thanks to Tara and her dad who helped my 96-year-old mother after my car conked out on Saskatchewan Avenue.
I had to wait for CAA, and it was way too hot in the car for my mother to wait. Tara and her dad so very kindly offered to take her to my house while I waited for CAA.
This was truly the kindness of strangers. It just goes to show there really are some wonderful folks out there in our great city!

See 'Trail of the Macabre-Part 1' and continue from Box #2...
Welcome to the "Trail of the Macabre" letterbox series...A three part, six stamp series that has nothing to do with the area, but opens the door to a haunting, eerie and very true part of U.S. history...the serial killer! For some years I have read many (probably too many, Ha!) intruiging stories from true crime novels. Then I got into Letterboxing and tried my hand at stamp carving...so here we are...my first series, Enjoy!...and ALWAYS look over your shoulder...
This 3 part series is placed in Aroostook State Park. I chose to place here for no particular reason, maybe because it is such a pretty place to put such dark secrets...Aroostook State Park is located off of Route 1 before you reach the town of Presque Isle... just follow the signs...Once you reach the park, pay the minimal 2.00 gate fee, grab a map, and continue along the park road and park in main parking lot...NOTE: stamps are of larger nature (aprox. 3" by 3")..just an fyi and always bring your own ink, though it is provided....
From Box# 2 (Trail of the Macabre-Part 1), make your way past latrines back to parking lot...Locate the stairs on the opposite side of parking lot...Follow them up to the Quaquajo Nature Trail (marked with blue marker)...
David Richard Berkowitz (b.Jun.1,1953), better known by his nicknames "Son of Sam" or "The .44 Caliber Killer", is an infamous serial killer who confessed to killing six people and wounding several others in New York City in the late 1970s. The "Son of Sam" case was reopened in 1996, and as of 2004 was officially considered open.....From the Quaquajo Nature Trail sign, follow the trail up until you come to a split in the trail...Left is the way...Through moss covered trees and over the bridge...Look down after 7 or 8 paces from the edge of bridge, (1 pace=2 steps)...One hollow stump (almost in middle of trail)...Follow trail...Two hollow stump...Keep going...Three hollow stump...Stop...Take six paces from third hollow stump...Stop...Double rooted tree on the left...Not it...The tree on the right holds The Son of Sam under the Bark! (get it?, David Berkowitz said his neighbors dog instructed him to do the killings)...Stamp up and rehide extremely well since so close to path...Now onto Box# 4....
John Wayne Gacy, Jr.,(Mar.17,1942-May 10,1994) was an American serial killer. He was convicted and later executed for the murder of 33 young men, 29 of whom he buried in the crawl space under his house, between 1972 and his arrest in December 1978. He became notorious as the "Killer Clown" because of the many block parties he attended, entertaining children in a clown suit and makeup...From Box# 3 head back towards the split in the trail...But wait!...Remember the stumps?...Three of them...Count one, then two from Box# 3...Stop at hollow stump #2 in middle of the trail...Turn 180 deg....Take 4 paces...Stop...Hmmmmmm, that mossy log on the left holds The Killer Clown...Gacy is in the end of it...This stamp is of Gacy dressed as Pogo the Clown...Stamp up, stuff box back in hole, and rehide extremely well (make sure box is covered with bark and whatnot completely for it is in direct sight on trail)...Okay, Four down, Two to go...Trail of the Macabre-Part 3 will be posted soon, so stay tuned...Part 3 has R.R. and J.D. as the last two?????...You'll have to wait and see.....Enjoy the park for awhile, awesome scenery..........
A Note from The Aroostook Misfit: This series is NOT intended to offend anyone. There is no "gore" involved in the stamps, just portraits of the faces that have tarnished the human species. Thanks, T.A.M.

A special anniversary, but the kind most people wouldn't celebrate, or even think about, unless the person was there to celebrate with.
This past week marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of my paternal grandmother, Alvina Thomas.
In the past I have written a few stories for local residents who reached the century milestone, and the stories are always fascinating, discovering what was happening in the world at that time, to think of how the world has changed since.

The world premiere of A Late Quartet is tonight in Toronto. EOne and RKO Pictures are releasing Yaron Zilberman's narrative feature debut November 2 after acquiring the pic at Cannes. Philip Seymour Hoffman is being touted for his work as a member of a famed quartet whose future hangs in the balance after another member of the group (Christopher Walken) is forced to retire. Catherine Keener, Mark Ivanir and Imogen Poots co-star in the drama structured around Beethoven's Opus 131 String Quartet in C-sharp minor.
Hot Toronto Trailer: 'A Late Quartet'
4 Comments
between capote, the master and this , PSH is making a strong case for greatest actor of his generation
Well, I like all these actors very much but this trailer is not showing me anything amazing or even particularly interesting. Not seeing tne "brilliance." So either this is getting overhyped or they need a new trailer.
what one earth is this movie about?
I agree with Katherine. The trailer is mundane, nothing remotely intriguing, sparking zero interest.

Ashlee Simpson Wows At 2012 SAG Awards With 'Boardwalk Empire' Boyfriend Vincent Piazza (PHOTOS)
Ashlee Simpson walked the red carpet at the 2012 SAG Awards wearing a black beaded gown with a sheer tulle neckline by designer Jenny Packham and fierce jewelry with rings on most of her fingers.
Ashlee is at the awards in support of her man, Boardwalk Empire's Vincent Piazza. "I am just here supporting tonight," she said smiling on the red carpet.
The couple confirmed they have been together for eight months and Ashlee seemed absolutely glowing with her platinum blonde bob on Vincent's arm.
"Ashlee really looked very old Hollywood glamour, fresh face, new look and new life," said E! Fashion Correspondent Kelly Osbourne.
What do you think of Ashlee's beautiful black dress? Let us know in the comments!
We think it looks similar to Vanessa Hudgens' 2012 People's Choice Awards gown, but what do you think?

TEL AVIV (Aug. 31)
A yield of over a ton of cotton per acre has been picked on the experimental cotton plantation of Havath Shmuel, in the Beisan Valley, it was revealed here today.
Ford Milam, chief assistant of the agricultural division of the United States Foreign Aid Operations Mission in Israel, congratulated the management of Havath Shmuel–named for Californian Sam Hamburg–upon the crop, declaring that, in his opinion, such yields would eventually save Israel large sums in foreign currency. Last year's cotton imports to this country totalled $5,000,000.
An additional 62,000 acres of arid land, in the northern sections of the Negev, will be under irrigation by the Fall of 1955, according to an announcement here today by Efraim Ben Artzi, director of the Mekoroth Water Company. The water will come from the Yarkon Springs, and will be carried in a new pipeline being laid now, the water expert declared. The pipeline will have a capacity of 100,000,000 cubic meters per year, he said.

III. Brief Analysis of Operations of the Company
In the 3rd quarter of 2003, the principal operating income and net profit realized by the Company increased to RMB
1,526 million yuan and RMB 314 million yuan respectively representing an increase of 77.98% and 102.95% respectively as
compared with those in the same period of the previous year. The electricity sales completed in this period went up to
4.465 billion kwh, representing an increase of 75.30% (1.918 billion kwh) compared with that in the same period of the
previous year.
The increase in the amount of electricity sales is primarily due to the improved operating results of the Company in
the 3rd quarter of 2003 in comparison with the same period of the previous year. The increase in electricity sales was
caused by (a) the addition of 1.186 billion kwh generated by the two newly-commissioned 300 MW generating units of
Zhejiang Changxing Power Generating Company Limited which is a subsidiary of the Company; and (b) the increase in sales
brought about by the Company who made full use of its generating capacity within the safety limits to combat the
unprecedented power shortage in Zhejiang caused by the sustained rapid economic development and the lasting heat wave
in the 3rd quarter of 2003 in Zhejiang.
In addition, all the electricity sales of the Company in the 3rd quarter of 2003 were settled at the contractual price
as the Zhejiang power market was suspended in the 3rd quarter of 2003 due to the severe power shortage, whereas 20% of
the electricity sales over the same period in the previous year was settled at the market price. This to a certain
extent increased the settlement price of the electricity sales and consequently further increased the principal
operating income of the Company.
For the period from January to September 2003, the Company's electricity sales has completed an aggregate of 10.471
billion kwh representing an increase of 47.19% as compared with the same period of the previous year. Its principal
operating income and net profit were RMB 3,532 million yuan and RMB 668 million yuan respectively representing an
increase of 44.10% and 47.95% respectively as compared with those in the same period of the previous year.

Our Story A Country Heritage▶
An appreciation for country life is not something you think about when you're a child. Only much later when you look back at those years do you realize how blessed you were to have lived that life. Summers were the best! No school, and long days spent playing in the woods building secret forts, or just lying in the grass watching the clouds make shapes. (Read Our Story Here)

Some times with anaesthesia it happens. When anesthesia is injected, the needle tears the muscle tissues and they become sore. It takes sometime for them to heal. The only treatment for this is to keep doing the stretching excercises like opening and closing of mouth and you can do hot fermentation also to relax the muscles of that area. It does not have anything to do with deep cleaning but it is due to the local anesthesia shot. This problem is quite normal and will resolve with time withing another week or two. Maximum it can take 2-3 months to heal. Till then maintain good oral hygiene. For more info on oral hygiene you can read this article.... www.identalhub.com/article_good-oral-hygiene-231.aspx
You dont need to worry as the pain in temporary. During the tooth preparation your jaw might have suffered temporary trauma due to which your injection site mite be aching. Apply a warm towel over the area and do warm saline gargles. Avoid anything too hot or too cold and also don't eat anything chewy. Also make sure to keep a pillow underneath your head while sleeping. you can take OTC painkiller like ibuprofen.
Dear PATRICIA, Can you tell me exactly when you underwent your filling and on which teeth exactly it is? There can be many reasons behind the pain. It can be due to: 1. High dental filling 2. Prolonged opening of the mouth during treatment 3. If the cavity is too deep that required extensive removal to tooth part. Here are few tips to get relived of the pain: Apply warm towel from outside and gently massage the area. Avoid eating anything solid from that region. Do brushing carefully using soft bristles tooth brush.
Dear COCO, You didn't tell for what procedure you were given injection. Was it for extraction or RCT? If you underwent extraction, then it is normal to suffer from trismus (not able to open mouth) for few days. And since you can insert three fingers, then its well normal.
Here are some tips:
Even after following the above instructions your condition doesn't improve then visit a dentist for clinical evaluation.
Dear MOI, Dont worry the pain is due to the acute trauma caused by cutting of teeth. Just stick to the medicines as prescribed and dont eat from that tooth till you get a bridge. Also avoid anything too hot or too cold. Dont put any undue masticatory force over that region.
Dear KATHRYN, Though your case requires clinical examination but i think that these are ulcers and will heal gradually. You need to take the following precautions: 1. Change the tooth brush immediately to soft bristles tooth brush. 2. Do warm saline gargles thrice daily. 3. Avoid eating spicy food including too hot stuff 4. Maintain the oral hygiene For more information you can visit the link...http://www.identalhub.com/article_canker-sore-234.aspx
Dear COCO, sometimes after dental procedures it becomes difficult for the patient to open mouth due to prolonged opening during treatment. So, it is advised to apply a hot towel over the area, do warm saline rises and massage the temple region. If the condition doesn't subside is a couple of days after starting the treatment visit a dentist. Take medications like advil.
Dear ANGELICA, Did your dentist injected you with anesthesia. If yes! then this might be an allergic reaction. Red marks can be due to acute trauma that your tooth underwent while undergoing the treatment. Take care to maintain a good oral hygiene until you are given permanent crown. In case your problem persists then consult a dentist and also do the full course of medications if given by your dentist.
Dear DAWN, It seems that your sinus got infected while undergoing the filling procedure. The treatment for sinus infection is to open and hydrate the sinus. Drink plenty of fluids and take adequate rest. Water helps in lubricating the mucous membrane.Ginger tea, fruit juice, and hot tea with honey and lemon may all be helpful. Inhale steam two to four times daily. A nasal wash can be helpful for removing mucous from the nose. If the problem still persists then it is advised to visit a dentist and get an Xray done.
Dear NIKOLA, You might be injected with more than normal dose of anesthesia or the Needle might have accidently hit the nerve. Don't worry the condition will go as the nerve has the capacity to heal on its own. Till that time take care to chew slowly as there are chances of biting your own tongue and also do warm saline gargles.
Dear NYSSA, I would recommend you to schedule a dental appointment as your case required clinical examination. Before this the correct diagnosis can't be made. The lump can be due to hematoma formation. To treat it apply a warm towel over the swelled area and also do warm saline gargles 4-5 times daily for 5 minutes.
Though the symptoms that you mentioned are common after dental filling. Reason being, fillings takes some time to adapt to the oral environment. So, you will feel awkward for few days after that the filling will get seated and align itself to the contour of the tooth. But then also you should visit a dentist and check out for any high filling that might be causing pain in your ear. In such cases of high cases, the treatment is to cut short the filling using a drill. For more information you can visit the link....http://www.identalhub.com/article_types-of-tooth-pain-after-dental-filling-814.aspx
Dear BARBARA, Its really nice that you are strictly following the precautions as told to you by your dentist. Since you can't eat anything solid so i would suggest you to have lots of juices (make sure NOT to use straw while having them) and liquid diet. This will give you lots of energy. Regarding pain and discomfort, it is normal to have it after wisdom tooth extraction. There can be chances that the dentist might have accidently pucntured the nerve but you don't need to freak out as it will regain its functioning within week. So, if in case the symptoms still continue after a week then schedule a visit to dental office.
Dear EMILY,Some times with anaesthesia it happens. When anesthesia is injected, the needle tears the muscle tissues and they become sore.It takes sometime for them to heal.The only treatment for this is to keep doing the stretching excercises like opening and closing of mouth and you can do hot fermentation also to relax the muscles of that area.It is due to the local anesthesia shot. This problem is quite normal and will resolve with time within another week or two. Maximum it can take 2-3 months to heal. Till then maintain good oral hygiene.You can use analgesics,if necessary.If the problem persists,consult oro facial pain specialist.
For more information on pain after local anaesthesia,you can visit the link ....http://www.identalhub.com/article_local-anaesthesia-and-sedation-in-dentistry-416.aspx
Dear MARY,Soreness at the site of injection can be because of torn tissues which can be due to too rapid local anesthetic injection or if more amount of anesthesia is injected. It will heal on its own in few days. You can do the warm saline rinses. Maintain good oral hygiene. If there is numbness or muscle pain or difficulty in opening the mouth present along with it, then it suggests that the nerve or muscle is affected.You don't need to worry much.You will recover soon from this problem.
Hi MELLISA,It's important to keep in mind that the injection of local anesthetic is actually an invasive procedure.For the mandibular block injection the lingual nerve may be traumatized as the needle is advanced towards the injection site.Paresthesia (persistent anesthesia) is a risk in the administration of local anesthetics. Fortunately, it is a rare complication.Numbness of the tongue will usually resolve in several weeks to several months time.You should inform your dentist of this complication.Good luck.
Hi DEBBIE,Sometimes the injection can hit a nerve or a branch of the nerve,which of course cannot be predicted.If this is the case,the pain can persist for a few weeks while the nerve heals.This healing takes long as nerves take long to repair. But it will heal on its own. Go back to your dentist.
Hi MITCHELL,Cavity can occur below dental bridge.By accumulation of plaque and calculus deposits on areas beyond edges of dental bridge, dental cavity can start.To remove cavities from tooth,dental bridge will be removed and dental caries can be restored by the dentist.If caries are deep,then root canal treatment will be required.Infection must have occurred because of gum recession followed by deposits on area beyond edges. After infection in tooth with dental bridge, new dental bridge is made. If dental bridge becomes loose and fall off, then old dental bridge can be given to the patient but in case of infection below dental bridge, new dental bridge is made. After filling the cavities which are present below the dental bridge, fit of dental bridge is affected so new dental bridge is required.
Hi CK,Dental work can make TMJ symptoms/pain, worse.Here is a list of things that can be done in addition to the nightguard.Do some TMJ exercises for the neck and jaw.The reason you may feel pain is that clenching causes tight muscles,which in turn can refer pain into other areas such as the teeth.Make sure you aren't getting unnecesary root canals and/or extraactions because many dentists don't realize pain can come from the referred pain of tight muscles from clenching,gums, head,neck.Avoid gum and hard and/or chewy foods.

The 'Pretty Little Liars' star delivered her bouncing baby girl with hubby Sean McEwen, Tuesday, October 8.
Australian actress Tammin Sursok and her actor/director husband Sean McEwen welcomed their first child on Tuesday, October 8. The "Pretty Little Liars" cast member gave birth to a nine-pounds, twelve-ounces bouncing baby girl they named Phoenix Emmanuel.
"Everyone is happy and healthy. A gift from God today. Pure love," the new mom wrote on her Instagram account. Phoenix Emmanuel is the couple's first child together after they tied the knot last August 24, 2011 in Florence, Italy.
Back in June, the couple announced Sursok's pregnancy, saying they felt "blessed to be having a baby" and that they would be "happy with either a boy or a girl." Just two months later, the soon-to-be parents excitedly confirmed that they would be having a daughter for their first baby by declaring, "What a blessing to add a little girl to our family!"
Sursok and McEwen are looking forward to further expanding their family in the coming years, with a total of "three or four" children in the brood, according to the 30-year-old actress/singer. She plans to do this while portraying her role as Jenna Marshall on her ABC Family teen drama series and juggling it along with her music career, wherein she last starred in the Nickelodeon musical film "Spectacular!" and was featured on seven tracks in its soundtrack, two of which were solos.

A top Standard Chartered banker involved in making a $US1 billion loan to the Indonesian chairman of London-listed Bumi Plc has quit after the bank struggled to get other lenders on board.
Businessman Samin Tan used the funds to buy a stake in the coal miner only to see the investment plunge in value as the board was rattled by rifts between key shareholders, including British financier Nat Rothschild and Indonesia's influential Bakrie group. More recently, Bumi Plc launched an investigation into alleged financial irregularities at its Indonesian units.
The loan is secured, reducing the British bank's risk, but so far it has sold down just $US230 million of the loan, leaving $US770 million on its books.
Sources said Peter Kay, global head of leveraged finance syndication at Standard Chartered, was pushed out of the bank. Bank spokeswoman Valerie Tay said he resigned at the end of September to pursue other interests.
Calls to Kay's mobile phone were not returned and Tan did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
A senior source at Standard Chartered said Kay would have been involved in but not solely responsible for the decision to extend the loan to Tan. The $US1 billion investment is now worth around $US230 million based on Bumi Plc share price movements.
"The credit committee and the executive committee had signed off on the loan," said the source. "Unfortunately, the reality was that ... somebody's head had to roll. Kay was very unhappy at being used as the fall guy."
A separate source familiar with the matter said he thought Kay was being used as a scapegoat. It was easy to blame the syndicate team for not selling down the loan, this source said.
While Kay would have been involved in structuring the terms of the loan, with Standard Chartered as a sole underwriter over five years, relationship bankers pushed the deal hard internally, this source added.
Both sources, who declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the issue, said Kay was pushed out. The bank did not immediately return a separate call for comment on the specific circumstances of Kay's departure.
The loan is a small fraction of Standard Chartered's overall lending book, but it was the single largest underwritten loan by any bank in Asia in 2011.
As head of leveraged finance syndication, Kay and his team were responsible, among other things, for selling on a portion of corporate loans to other institutions to reduce Standard Chartered's financial exposure to the debt.
Among other projects, Kay was tasked with distributing the $US1 billion loan that the bank wholly underwrote on behalf of Tan's coking coal mining firm PT Borneo Lumbung Energi , after it bought a 23.8 per cent stake in Bumi Plc.
Basis Point, a Thomson Reuters company, reported that general syndication for the loan closed on Tuesday, citing a source close to the deal, with only two other lenders joining.
First Gulf Bank of the United Arab Emirates took on $US200 million and Dutch pension fund PGGM Vermogensbeheer BV took $US30 million, said Basis Point, which first reported Kay's departure.
Standard Chartered structured the Borneo Lumbung loan with pricing of 607 basis point to 657 basis point over Libor, attractive pricing at the time. However, general risk aversion was high over the euro zone crisis.
Moreover, many market participants associated the loan with Indonesia's Bakrie group, which defaulted during the Asia financial crisis, and so felt it was too risky, ba nkers familiar with the deal said.
The Standard Chartered loan is secured against assets at Borneo Lumbung and its stakes in operating companies PT Asmin Koalindo Tuhup and PT Borneo Mining Services.
"The loan is predicated on the cash flow of his own business and not predicated on his investments," said a source with direct knowledge of the matter.
Borneo Lumbung's net profit dropped 58.7 per cent in the first half of 2012 from a year earlier in US dollar terms, partly hit by interest expenses and a sharp drop in coal prices.
"The company might need to refinance the facility or do a rights issue to refinance the rest of facility at 2015 because of low cash reserves, unless we see a rebound in coking coal price in the next two years," said Jemmy Paul, equity fund manager at PT Sucorinvest Asset Management in Jakarta.
Tan used the loan to buy a 23.8 per cent stake in Bumi Plc from the Bakrie Group. He was subsequently made chairman of the firm.
Bumi Plc's share price has tumbled this year on a mixture of debt concerns, tensions between shareholders and weakening demand growth globally for coal.
In September, the shares took another hit when Bumi Plc commissioned a London law firm to look into alleged financial irregularities in more than $US500 million of funds at its Indonesian subsidiaries.
The Bakrie family, which originally held a controlling interest in Bumi Plc before turning to Tan, has proposed a plan to bring back Bumi's coal assets under its roof.
Rothschild, who owns 12 per cent of Bumi Plc, resigned from the company's board this week and accused both the Bakries and Tan of acting against the interest of minority shareholders.
Kay's departure follows a series of changes in Standard Chartered Bank's debt capital markets business since the appointment of former Credit Suisse banker Carsten Stoehr as head of global capital markets in June.
After the 2008 slump, bankers said Standard Chartered was more aggressive in loan pricing and underwriting, which it used to maximum affect to support core clients.
In 2008 and 2009, the bank separately underwrote $US6 billion and $US5 billion for Bharti Airtel in the Indian telecom firm's failed multi-billion-dollar merger with South Africa's MTN Group.
Historically, Standard Chartered has been willing to absorb so-called "stick" positions - unsold underwritten exposures on syndicated loans - above industry norms. Sometimes, the bank has held on to the exposure until it is refinanced and, on other occasions, it has sold some debt in the secondary markets.

Locata: The New GPS?
Tiffany Kaiser
January 4, 2013 11:50 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: crazyengineers.com)
The new ground-based tech can pinpoint locations outdoors and indoors
GPS struggles to find your exact location
at times, a new positioning technology could step up and give a more accurate area both indoors and outdoors.
The new positioning technology is by Locata, and it uses ground-based equipment instead of satellites to send a radio signal over a certain area. This signal is reportedly a million times stronger than a GPS signal.
While GPS mainly gives outdoor locations, Locata's ground tech is tackling indoor locations such as huge shopping malls as well. Its receivers can be small enough to fit inside a cell phone, so if shoppers are lost in a large mall, they can use Locata on their smartphone to find a certain area.
When tested at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, Locata worked to within 18 centimeters along any axis. GPS typically has location resolutions of a few meters. Locata's technology could bring the resolution as far down as 5 centimeters in the future, making location pinpoints even more precise.
Locata's signal is much stronger because solid objects like GPS signals don't block it as easily. However, Locata could still use some help in urban settings with many buildings packed so closely together.
It is suggested that Locata's tech will not replace GPS, but rather, work with it to offer both satellite locations and ground-based locations for
greater accuracy in different situations
. For example, the Jigsaw Positioning System uses both Locata and GPS to guide the placement of drill rigs in Western Australia.

Doing Two Things At Once: Walking the Talk
I'm getting pretty good at doing two things at once. For instance, living and dying. But seriously, when time is a premium, multi-tasking becomes essential. At the moment, I'm doing a twofer all the way around, as today's blog began as a post on my online support group. I was responding to a situation that involved a new member and the perception on the part of other members that this individual was wasting their time.
There is often a real lack of patience in my lung cancer support group with those who state their case poorly. As one of my online friends said, " Nothing is more vexing than to read a plea for help from someone who 'dances around' details or can't be bothered to get them or provide them. I don't have ESP. I ask questions once, if they're ignored, I move on. It's a form of triage."
My friend makes a valid point; time is precious to each of us and we are all in a bit of a hurry. Even worse, occasionally we must deal with 'trolls' or those selling snake oil. Certain members of my support group treat outing the riff raff as their personal responsibility; sort of a neighborhood watch. But the problem is (the death of Trayvon Martin at the hands of George Zimmerman comes to mind), the intentions of others are sometimes far from clear.
I prefer to err on the side of caution when formulating an opinion; I'd rather be taken a fool than to risk being unkind or worse. And if sometimes my compassion gets a workout, that's not a bad thing.
Thanks…I'd Rather Take the Stairs
I have a good friend who, during her treatment for breast cancer, would insist on taking the stairs up (many) flights each time she came to the hospital. Her attitude provided some food for thought and I too came to realize that the stairs were the way to go. Example: elevator and stairs get you to the same place, but one of these two modes of transportation also provides a little exercise and strengthens you; therefore accomplishing not one but two things. Win-win.
Now, I respectfully acknowledge that our physical limitations sometimes make such a choice impossible. However, when we can, maybe we should.
I feel the same way about exercising compassion. Again, with all due respect, if my fingertips get a little tired because a member of this forum was less than clear about something in a post, well, that's okay. As I consider my responses, perhaps my patience is taxed as well — it could be that that's exactly what my patience, (one of my weaker 'muscles') needs, so that it too can stretch and grow.
When possible, use the stairs. Or, as the old maxim goes — "take the high road". I hear the view is well worth the climb
