In Tuesday's special elections, voters in the Bokoshe school district gave a thumbs-down to a requested bond issue in a 37-32 vote.
In Tuesday's special elections, voters in the Bokoshe school district gave a thumbs-down to a requested bond issue in a 37-32 vote.
Bokoshe school administrators had asked voters to approve a $260,000 bond issue to extend a current, soon-to-retire bond and its revenue stream.
LeFlore and Sequoyah county election board officials said the election results remain preliminary until certified by the county election boards on Friday.
Gore school district voters, however, approved both of their requested school bond issues.
Gore school district voters are spread across the Sequoyah and Muskogee county line. Altogether, they passed a requested $300,000 bond issue 217-73, by a 74.8 percent margin. And they approved a requested $100,000 bond issue 220-73 or by 75.1 percent of the ballots cast.
Under Oklahoma law, school bond issues must receive at least 60 percent of the ballots cast to pass.
The $100,000 bond will buy a used school bus to replace a 1990s-model, high-mileage, high-maintenance bus.
The $300,000 bond will cover renovations and repairs to make the aging school buildings more energy-efficient and comfortable as well as to upgrade the district's technology.
Vian Public Schools voters chose Ed Barton over Sherry Pickle 185-98 to fill that district's vacant Office No. 3 school board seat. Barton replaces former board member Jessie Young, who resigned in July after accepting employment as a Vian High School counselor.

Today is Donald Duck's birthday, so we thought we'd commemorate it by inviting a bunch of his oldest chums over to Nameberry to celebrate, characters like Mickey and Goofy and Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar. And though these cartoon creatures may not be the most appropriate of namesakes, their names are still worth considering.
Picture 2 of 12
Abner is the country mouse rube from backwoods Podunk who comes to visit his city cousin Monty in the 1936 The Country Cousin, and the bumpkin image of his name was reinforced by years of L'il Abner comic strips. But today's parents are beginning to look at Abner with fresh eyes, as a perfectly respectable Old Testament appellation.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Singapore, Singapore, 2009/06/12 - Digital signage and audience measurement solutions provider 1-2-1VIEW, has published a white paper, Improving ROI Measurement for Out-Of-Home Advertising that looks at growing in-home advertising clutter.
With a focus on helping advertisers understand the virtues of the outdoor media, the white paper discusses the growing in-home advertising clutter phenomenon and the emergence of technologies that contribute to the diminishing returns gained from advertising on traditional television media.
Based on studies indicating the shift of audience attention away from in-home media and into the out-of-home environment, the white paper looks at the draws of this medium and also addresses barriers-of-entry issues that plague advertisers from making a smooth transition to adopting such alternatives.
The paper also looks at the issue of reach which is a significant barrier of entry as other media take the calculation of reach to be equal to actual media consumption. i.e. if you buy a magazine, you will read it; if you switch on the television, you will be watching or listening to the program. This is in contrast to exposure to the out-of-home media whereby people are within viewing range of the content but may or may not actually look at the screen or panel.
The paper proposes methods for quantifying returns on investment for outdoor and associated out-of-home media. Using new measurement technologies available to validate viewer impressions, such networks would be made more transparent and easier to adopt.

Corvette Ron's Activity
Corvette Ron added a post in a topic Newbie needs help grafting a front clipHere is what she will look like when done. The only changes will be the wheel centers will be gray, the tires will have blue thin stripes and the interior will be white. I ran the 1:1 65 vert without a front bumper back in the day for the "gasser" look.
Corvette Ron added a topic in Model Building Questions and AnswersNewbie needs help grafting a front clipI am going to cut the front clip off a 65 Corvette coupe model I picked up and graft it on to the 67 convertible kit that I have. This will allow me to make a "correct" 65 convertible.
I found a Youtube video on how to make the cut with an Xacto blade and I found a tip that said to use styrene flat stock to reinforce the bond.
After the glue has dried what do I use for body filler in case there is a gap that needs to be filled in?
Sanding tips also needed. I have not built a model car since 1961 !

Corvette Ron added a post in a topic Adhesive wide white wallsI would be happy to make a copy of the decals to mail to anyone who could use them.
Corvette Ron added a post in a topic Adhesive wide white wallsThank you for the idea. I am attempting to recreate the 1:1 65 Corvette I had back in the day. I had purchased Goodyear Bluestreak tires for it. The 67 Revell kit I purchased at Hobby Lobby came with decals for a redline tire. I will simply trace them on blue vinyl and use the circle cutter to cut them out. This would be for a 1:25 model with 15" tires.
Corvette Ron added a post in a topic Is it possible to change the color on decals?Thanks! I will do a test on some of the other red decals that I don't need. Purple would make it look like a Prince car (Purple Rain)
Corvette Ron added a topic in Model Building Questions and AnswersIs it possible to change the color on decals?The 67 Corvette kit I got from Revell came with redline tire decals. I am trying to recreate a specific 1:1 car I had back in the day. I had purchased and installed Goodyear Bluestreak tires that had blue lines on the them.
Is it possible to spray paint these decals blue or maybe use a blue permanent marker? I have a spray can of adhesion promoter - maybe I should spray that on the decals first?
I am concerned that the decal may not release if I paint over it though.

Corvette Ron added a post in a topic Technique for grafting parts.Thank you! I also found some tips on Youtube last night from someone called "Fast Jimmy". I might do better grafting the entire front clip from a 65/66 coupe.
Corvette Ron added a topic in Model Building Questions and AnswersTechnique for grafting parts.Assuming I can find the parts of course. I want to graft a body panel from one 1:25 kit to another. This would be the "gill" panel from a 65/66 Corvette to a 67.
What is the proper way to do this?
I am trying to recreate the 65 convertible I used to own during my misspent youth.
Thank you in advance for any advice.

Corvette Ron added a post in a topic I just joinedThank you! The search for the 65 convertible begins!
Corvette Ron added a topic in Welcome! Introduce YourselfI just joinedWell it looks like I will be returning to the days of my youth. I just sold the last of my real (full size) Corvettes. My health dictates that I no longer can crawl around and under these big cars anymore and since my driving is limited I might as well give them up.
My Steel Blue Metallic 91 coupe just drove off with its new owner last week. He also bought my air compressor and paint guns.
My extensive set of tools that I have been building up since age 16 (1961) left today with a young mechanic trainee from Naperville, Illinois.
When I was a kid back in the 50s and 60s my friends and I used to build model cars. We would swap parts and try to make ours look cool and custom. We would then proceed to blow them up with firecrackers after we tired of them and proceed to move on to the next ones. What fools we were!
I plan to take the hobby up again but since it has been 50+ years since my last build I have a few questions?
1. Where do I buy the kits?
2. Can I use automotive spray touch up paint to paint my new models?
3. Is there a place to purchase custom wheels, tires, etc?
I owned 6 different Corvettes over the years. I would like to recreate those cars and plan to paint them in the same colors as they were when I owned them along with using the custom wheels I had at the time.
My first project will be a black 1965 Corvette convertible with a white interior and white top. It will have to be a 4 speed, 327 and have Goodyear Blue Streak tires along with Torque Thrust D wheels.
Where do I begin to look for this model?
I'm retired from the US Army Reserve and Active Duty and also the civilian health care (Radiology) world and have time on my hands.
Hopefully this will be a much less expensive hobby than the big Corvette world.

I was wondering what everyone thought the twist is in the next episode? is this the big one? or is it one of those supposed to be big twist like the last one!!
Maybe Sue is having Rich's baby what a twist, huh
I think Jonny Fairplay is coming back! ;D
Lol...i actually wouldn't mind having JFP back....liven up the game a little...as for twists...a possible merge?..like someone noted...in the RC Jeff had the Immunity idol...interestin
Yeah, but would that really be a BIG twist? The fact that they were all looking of to the side like someone was walking in makes me think that maybe the ejected players come back to compete in the challenge. Not like last time, where if they win they get voted back in the game, but maybe if they win both tribes have to go to TC and vote someone off. And JFP is that last one I'd want to see back (just when all stars was getting good, too.) Although bringing back the rejected players may not work out so well, since only 3 (Tina, Rich and Rudy) have been voted out, and Jenna M. left the game to go home. And we all know the story with Sue.Originally Posted by masashi
At some point there need to vote off a couple of extra people, the dates of the shows and the number of people left don't match up, can't remembere where I read that, but I know I did in a couple places. So maybe two people get voted off.
Maybe there is a tribe swap.
Possibly a merge, but I think there are still too many left to merge yet, although if 2 get voted off then merge the rest, or merge first then immediate 2 people get voted off or lose a challenge and have to leave.
Here is something interesting, the CBS website preview says this: "One tribe is misled by Tree Mail, as all the tribes find themselves blindsided by another twist." Notice it says all the tribes, not both tribes. I hope it's not another outcasts thing like last season.
Last edited by StarryElf; 03-05-2004 at 10:30 PM.
I hope not either, but since it says "all tribes are blindsided" maybe an outcast tribe doesn't have the same affect that it did last time, meaning maybe they don't get to come back into the game. I had forgotten about 2 people being voted off at once, but I remember reading that, too.Originally Posted by StarryElf
But if it says "one tribe is misled by tree mail" then how can both tribes be blindsided? Should be interesting, unless it's just another overly hyped promo where nothing is going to happen but the producers want us to think a lot is going to happen.
I think most likely another merge

The former mayor of Richmond has handed more than £13,500 to the Horse Rangers Association.
Councillor Rita Palmer presented the cheque to the charity, which was one of her causes during her year in office alongside the Poppy Factory, which received a similar sum.
The Barnes councillor supported the charity after meeting an inspirational member of 35 years.
She said: "Both of my charities are very close to my heart and there's nothing better than to meet someone who's involved.
"I'll never forget Lorraine Harmes - she was the key to opening the door to the Horse Rangers Association for me."
Coun Palmer presented the cheque at the charity's drill hall at the Royal Mews, Hampton Court Road, on Thursday, January 30, enjoyed a tour of the stables and met horses, staff and volunteers.
The Horse Rangers Association supports the personal development of children and young people, regardless of background or ability, by teaching them to ride and look after horses.

AL Waiver Wire: Week 15
Felipe Paulino| Kansas City| SP/RP| 1 percent Yahoo! ownership
YTD: 4.31 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, 8.47 K/9, 2.73 BB/9, 47.5 percent GB
Oliver ROS: 4.50 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, 7.9 K/9, 3.7 BB/9
Featured here before, Paulino has been able to sustain the promising changes to his controllable skills since being dealt to the Kansas City Royals. His surface stats have been strong—3.38 ERA and his 1.27 WHIP is better than league average—but it's a number of his other stats that have me excited. His K/BB rate has jumped to 3.75 thanks to paring down his walks and still striking out a high number of batters. He has also maintained a batted ball profile that tilts in favor ground balls.
His strikeout rate and power stuff have always made him slightly intriguing, but it's positive changes to his first pitch strike rate, and walk rate and his different pitch type usage that are finally allowing him accentuate his positives. The change to his usage is less reliance on his fastball, and a preference to turn to his slider, curveball and change-up more frequently. More off-speed and breaking pitches have helped bump up his outside strike zone swing rate (o-swing) and his swinging strike rate in general, all things that will help him continue to rack up strikeouts. Paulino is nearly universally unowned, something that savvy owners in need of strikeouts should take advantage of.
Recommendation: Should be owned in some medium sized mixed-leagues, most large mixed-leagues and all AL-only formats.
Kyle Gibson| Minnesota| SP| 0 percent Yahoo! ownership
YTD: 4.17 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, 8.97 K/9, 2.29 BB/9 (Triple-A)
Oliver ROS: 4.55 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 6.2 K/9, 2.1 BB/9
Kyle Gibson has pitched quite well in Triple-A this season, even if his ERA and WHIP would indicate otherwise. Gibson has struck out almost exactly one batter per inning, walked few hitters and induced roughly two times as many groundouts as flyouts. While they are different types of pitchers, and they pitched in different leagues, Michael Pineda's high ERA in Triple-A last season should serve as a caution against placing too much weight on that stat.
Regardless of whether the Twins make a second surge and climb back into the AL-Central race, or fall out of it and become sellers at the deadline, there are plausible scenarios where a rotation spot could open up for the youngster prior to roster expansions in September. Pitching in a favorable home ballpark, Gibson has a chance to be helpful down the stretch in spite of his lack of experience and the growing pains typically associated with being green behind the ears.
Recommendation: Should be monitored, but not necessarily stashed at this moment.
Chris Sale| Chicago (American League)| RP| 21 percent Yahoo! ownership
YTD: 3.47 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 9.41 K/9, 3.96 BB/9, 46.9 percent GB
Oliver ROS: 4.25 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 8.6 K/9, 3.0 BB/9
The well-covered White Sox bullpen woes of April did not spare Chris Sale. Quietly though, he's turned his season around. Sergio Santos has cemented the closer gig, so from a saves perspective, barring injury, the best case for Sale is a few vulture saves to spell him. Nonetheless, striking out a high volume of hitters, not walking the world, and inducing more ground balls than fly balls is a good way to make yourself a valuable reliever in deep leagues. His strong performance in June and July has allowed him to regain the trust of manager Ozzie Guillen, so those in holds leagues where he's not rostered should scoop up the lanky lefty. As long as Sale is able to control his pitches and pound the strike zone, feel free to roster him in deep leagues as an option to prop up low strikeout yet useful starters.
Recommendation: Should be owned in most leagues that use holds, some large mixed-leagues, and some AL-only leagues.
Travis Snider| Toronto| OF| 26 percent Yahoo! ownership
Oliver ROS: .256/.317/.427
It's likely no player has had more words written about him in this column than Travis Snider. I hope this endorsement leads his to sticking on rosters a bit longer. The Blue Jays coaching staff and front office are pleased with the adjustments he made after being demoted to the minors. The results have been promising since his recall as well. He's hitting .367/.387/.667 this go-round with six doubles and one home run in 30 at bats. It's a bit discouraging to see that he's struck out in nearly one third of his at bats (nine strikeouts), but all things considered, the production has been there, and he looks to be a stable member of the lineup going forward.
The owner of a .208 ISO last season, Snider has some power potential he's yet to fully display this year. Toss in his suddenly fleet feet (five stolen bases in the majors and another seven in the minors) and manager John Farrell's propensity to let his players run, and you now have a player who can chip in to stolen base totals in addition to flexing his muscles at the plate with the long ball. Owned in just over a quarter of Yahoo! leagues, expect to see that number sky rocket thanks to Snider's former blue chip prospect status.
Recommendation: Should be owned in all but the shallowest of leagues.
Michael Trout| Los Angeles (American League)| OF| 27 percent Yahoo! ownership
Oliver ROS: .273/.336/.413
Last week's notable exclusion as a result of a promotion immediately following my article submission, Mike Trout makes a second debut, one to Waiver Wire a week after his first major league appearance. The Angels were aggressive with a player a number of scouts and prospect gurus, including Baseball Prospectus' Kevin Goldstein, consider the best prospect in baseball. They had him skip Triple-A after just 341 Double-A plate appearances, all coming this season. His MLE of .276/.346/.455 points to a player who is ready. A little anxious, possibly pressing, he's chasing 40 percent of pitches thrown outside the strike zone. However, he's struck out only once in his first 10 plate appearances, so he's making contact at a high clip. Unfortunately, when you're chasing so many pitches, that contact isn't necessarily good contact.
Trout's most valuable fantasy tool is his speed. He stole 28 bases in Double-A this season and was caught stealing eight times. Should his on-base skills come around quickly at the big league level, expect to see him make an instant impact in the stolen base category. He also flashed some power, sporting a .210 ISO and hitting nine home runs. Pay for the speed now; if the power shows itself this season, consider that gravy.
It's quite likely that if he struggles, the Angels send him back done to the minors for further seasoning and re-insert Peter Bourjos. For now, take a chance on this special 19-year-old and hope he sticks and shows why so many people are salivating at the thought of watching this explosive player blossom.
Recommendation: Should be universally owned given his immediate stolen base upside.
Jason Kipnis| Cleveland| 2B| 1 percent Yahoo! ownership
YTD: .311/.385/.502 (Triple-A)
Oliver ROS: .262/.325/.433
It looks like the Cord Phelps experiment at second base has run its course, so expect to see Jason Kipnis in short order. Phelps may prove to be a useful utility player over his career, but it's no secret Kipnis is the man the Indians expect to see on the lineup card at second base for years to come.
A converted outfielder, he has to prove before being promoted that he's capable of handling the position defensively, as the stick is ready. Reports are fairly good on his adjustment to the position, and with the Indians in the thick of things and getting negative WAR production from Orlando Cabrera, second base would be an obvious upgrade internally. The MLE on his 2011 production is .263/.336/.443, making for a reasonable expectation upon promotion. What that slash doesn't show is that he is also a moderate home run and stolen base threat, having hit 11 home runs and stolen 11 bases in his 355 Triple-A plate appearances.
A great player to own in deep keeper and dynasty leagues, Kipnis is capable of making a splash at middle infield down the stretch in re-draft leagues as well. Those with the roster flexibility, and a need at second base or middle infield, would be wise to beat the masses to the wire and stash him now. Once he's promoted and hyped on the various platforms that cover fantasy baseball, it will be a mad dash to the wire to add him, so save yourself the headache and stress.
Recommendation: Should be monitored in all leagues that use a middle infield position. Should be stashed in large mixed leagues and AL-only formats.

You forgot to mention the Ron Jeremy moustache
Also, I'd bet a lot the Angels send Trout back down by next week. He's now eligible to play postseason, so we probably wont see him back till Sept, barring an injury. I've universally dropped trout for Vazquez/Paulino
Of course like 2 hours after I write that, Bourjos has a setback announced, placed on DL

5. Halo 5: Before 343 Industries took over the Halo franchise, this probably would have been my number one choice. This is in no way a hate blog on 343, just an honest opinion that they took away what made Halo's multiplayer so great. I didn't like the huge changes they made and for the first time for any Halo game, I found myself not playing hours upon hours online with friends. I'm hoping that we see at least some parts of classic Halo multiplayer come back(as I don't see them completely taking away the changes they did in Halo 4 multiplayer). While I didn't completely agree with the changes they made in multiplayer, I'm eager to learn more about Halo 5 and am definitely excited to play the campaign as Halo 4's was very well done by 343.
4. Destiny: I've been a huge Halo fan since the beginning and I am eager to see if Bungie lives up to the hype and can make another huge hit. From the looks of it, it looks like they will do just that. I am a huge online person, so I'm excited to play this with my friends online. I'm also really excited to hear what Martin O'Donnell brings to the Destiny soundtrack.
3. Watch Dogs: This game stood out to me when I saw the trailer at E3. It is one of the first games that looked very next-gen to me. I love games with a great story, gameplay and characters and it looks like we will be getting that in Ubisoft's next game. Although the delay was a bit disappointing, I'm happy that Ubisoft is willing to delay a game to make it better.
2. Titanfall: This game is taking the first-person shooter genre and changing it up a bit. It looks fast-paced and a great online game to play with friends. From early reviews of people who have played demos at conventions, they have taken away my concerns of if the controls will be difficult. They have said that it is extremely easy to get around and the controls are extremely smooth. I'm excited to see Xbox getting some more exclusives and this exclusive stands out to me. I can't wait to play it in March.
1. Uncharted 4: We have really no information other than a teaser and it may not even come out in 2014(although I very much hope so). The only little bit of information that was released is that the voice in the teaser is Todd Stashwick, a character who we can assume will be the main antagonist in the game. We also know that Amy Hennig, Creative Director from past games, will be returning as well. There isn't even any confirmation that Nathan Drake will be returning, but we can all assume that he will because what would Uncharted be without the wise cracking, likable, Nathan Drake? Uncharted is one of my favorite series and I can't imagine what Naughty Dog can do with the PS4 abilities. I can't wait to see what they have in store for the Uncharted series.

Robby Gordon is the community pastor for Bent Tree Bible Fellowship. With a slow-moving economy, Gordon said faith organizations like Bent Tree have the opportunity to invest and make a difference in the community.
Q: How do you think faith-based organizations will or can make a difference this year?
A: Faith-based organizations can make a difference by providing hope. For many, 2013 was a year of struggle spiritually, economically, relationally, etc. Faith-based organizations are uniquely positioned to provide hope when life doesn't go as planned. A few ways that faith-based organizations can provide hope are by providing emergency assistance for those in need, helping to reframe one's circumstances and/or helping someone integrate all areas of life (work, family, finances, faith, academics, etc).
Q: What are your hopes for your community in 2014?
A: Bent Tree desires to see to it that no one misses God's grace. We will focus specifically on serving the individuals in our community who are struggling to put food on the table, in addition to investing in children from low-income families in our community.
Q: What challenges and opportunities do you anticipate for people of all faiths in 2014?
A: With the slowdown in the economy, faith-based organizations have an opportunity to help make significant, holistic investments in our communities. Many people of faith follow Jesus' example of being generous and having a desire to make a difference in their communities. As leaders in a faith-based organization, it is our job to make an opportunity to be generous and/or invest in the community clear and specific. When it is, the faith community usually provides an overwhelmingly positive response.
Q: What are some of the needs you see in the Bent Tree Bible Fellowship community in 2014, and how do you hope the faith community will address them?
A: The people that make up Bent Tree need to live surrendered to Jesus' desires for their lives. Through the first half of 2014, our church family will examine the life of Christ by studying the gospels. Pete Briscoe, our senior pastor, will teach through the life of Christ in the gospel of Luke. Each week, we'll look at what a life surrendered to Jesus should really look like.
Q: What changes would you like to see in the Bent Tree Bible Fellowship community in 2014?
A: There are a lot of needs in our community. Our biggest challenge is choosing the needs that we feel Jesus is moving us to address and staying focused on these needs for the long haul. Significant change can happen if we focus on a few needs holistically throughout a number of years. Marginal change happens if we focus on several needs for just a little while.
Q: What are some of your congregation's goals for the year, and how does it plan to carry them out?
A: We hope to save 1,000 lives in our community by hosting blood drives this year. We hope to donate 20,000 pounds of food items to four local food banks that we partner with by collecting food each Sunday. We hope to make holistic investments in local schools through mentoring programs, providing food to low income families when school is out of session, providing financial planning resources to low income families and providing counseling when needed. We pray that the people of Bent Tree will bless their community in whatever way God leads them throughout the year.
Q: How will your congregation's members serve in their neighborhoods, the country and internationally?
A: In our neighborhoods: We will seek to create or further strengthen the community experience in neighborhoods. We will seek to invest in and bless our neighbors. In the U.S. and internationally: We will invest financially with organizations and people who align with our strategy to provide hope. We will send people from Bent Tree to invest in and further strengthen the organizations and people we partner with. We will pray for peace and hope to be prevalent worldwide in addition to providing resources when natural disasters occur.

The other day Alexa from Single Mom's Income shared some of her favorite inexpensive ideas for keeping young children entertained. Some of her suggestions include coloring books, board games, and family trips to the library. Those are all great ideas, but what if you're on the road or in a waiting room where you don't have access to any of those things?
As a father of three kids myself (aged 9 ½, 8, and 4) I've had plenty of experience when it comes to keeping little ones entertained, and sometimes you've got to improvise and make up a game on the fly.
Below I've listed three ways to keep your kids entertained and they're all completely free. Each of these was a spur of the moment idea that my kids really enjoyed. Combine them with Alexa's suggestions and you'll have no problems keeping your kids busy.
Find the Lizard
The name sounds weird but it's really just a hidden object game. When my son was first born I brought the girls to the hospital to meet him. They got pretty restless hanging out in the hospital room, so I started looking for something to keep them occupied.
I looked around the room and saw a toy lizard sitting on the table and a light bulb went off in my head. The girls closed their eyes while I hid the lizard somewhere in the room and then we all had a good time watching them try to find the lizard. They enjoyed the game so much that we continued playing it long after we brought their little brother home from the hospital.
Obviously you don't have to use a toy lizard to make this game work. Just pick any object that's handy and have a good time.
The Whistle Game
This game is always good for a laugh. Just pick a song that everyone would know and start whistling while the other players guess which song it is. It could be a pop song the kids have heard on the radio, but I usually choose a cartoon theme song or a something from a family movie they've seen. Little Bear, Elf, and the Muppets are some of my favorite tunes to whistle, though sometimes I mix it up with the theme from The Cosby Show just for laughs.
Guess Who
There is a board game version of this game, but I find the homemade version a lot more fun. Just choose a character from television or movies and start describing them while the other players have to guess who you're describing. For example I might start out giving clues like these…
It's a boy. He's very big. He has big hands. He has a bad temper. He likes breaking things.
If you guessed Wreck-It Ralph, you win!
When you think about all the characters you know from movies and TV this game really could go on forever.
What about you? Do you have any suggestions for free or inexpensive games to keep young kids entertained?

Characters aplenty at Belleair's Halloween
By BRIAN GOFF
Article published on

Photo by BRAIN GOFF
Getting ready to party at Belleairs Halloween festivities from left are Vanessa Allan of Clearwater and her children Lucy, 8, Creighton, 7 and Andrew 11.
BELLEAIR Well past the time when they had planned to stop serving pizza and salad, Belleair volunteers were still at it because people kept coming. In fact there were more people at the annual Halloween Party on Oct. 20 than ever before.
Belleairs Director of Special Events, Sara Borger, was at a loss to explain why so many people showed up but she said, It is a good problem to have.
The centerpiece of the event had to be the haunted house. The staff of the Recreation Department spent a week and a half turning the games room in the recreation center into the haunted house, the sole purpose of which is to scare a person. Belleair Commissioner Michael Wilkinson said, It is not for the faint of heart.
For those who didnt want to get scared out of their wits there was plenty more. The party began with the pizza dinner, which attracted several hundred people. Among those attending this year was Georgia Gay and her three children from Largo.
We love it, weve been here twice, she said. The kids especially love it and well keep coming back.
Vanessa Allan and her three children from Clearwater were also at the dinner.
Well keep coming back until the children say they are getting too old, she said. Weve been coming for four years now and we wont be stopping anytime soon.
Then there was the haunted trolley ride, which took revelers through the surrounding neighborhood so they could see the Halloween decorations along the mall. In fact the number of attendees created a problem in that their cars were parked along the mall obscuring the view of the decorations, which eventually had to be moved onto the median.
As well there was the trick or treat trail which wound around the Town Hall and as the children walked along every few feet, there was a civic group or sponsor handing out treats. In addition to that there were bouncy houses for the children who might have had to wear off some of that sugar-induced energy.
The Halloween party has been going on in Belleair as long as Borger can remember.
My children used to come here and that was 18 years ago, she said. It has gotten a lot bigger. Even the trick or treat trail has expanded. And I cant say enough about the Civic Association, our main sponsor; they provide both money and volunteers.
Borger said the Halloween party is one of the signature events in the town.
It is a time when everybody can get together, she said. We provide a really fun time and were trying to do something for all age groups. Even the teenagers get involved, they are the ones scaring you in the Haunted House, and they are doing a good job, dont you think?

Mustang MonthlyHow To Tech Qa
1996 Ford Mustang GT Convertible & 1997 Ford Mustang V6 - Late-Model Corral
A Whole Lot Of Shakin' Goin' OnRecently, I purchased a '96 Mustang GT convertible-VIN 1FALP45XOTF116733. My car has 17,000 miles with 17-inch rims and the original tires. It is in perfect condition and has never been damaged. I wonder if you could help me solve or improve a situation that I am experiencing with my car.
The car-especially the windshield frame, the rear deck, and the rear quarters-shakes when going over certain jarring bumps. I know that the body on a convertible is not as rigid as that on a coupe, but this shaking is annoying. When I testdrove other used GT convertibles, I noticed the same problem. However, the one that I purchased seemed to be the tightest of them all-probably because of the low miles.
I put KYB shocks and struts on the car, and this improved the ride and handling. I also had a shop install Kenny Brown subframe connectors, but they didn't seem to make much difference. Can you give me some advice as to what I can do to help improve this situation?
I was thinking of changing to polygraphite bushings and/or different coil springs. I don't want to alter the ride height or make the car ride terribly stiff. Can you comment and make suggestions?Paul OndrusClarendon Hills, IL
We're surprised that the subframe connectors didn't make much of a difference to you, especially after Ford added them to convertibles as a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) upgrade (not Kenny Brown's, mind you). Your two suggestions-bushings and springs-will not help your problem. Bushings will make the car and the suspension more like "one unit" and will transfer harsh road conditions right to the body. The same goes for the springs. Lowering the car and putting stiffer springs in will make for even more shake, rattle, and roll.
Stiffening the body structure is your best solution for body and cowl shake. Adding a stiffening brace under the hood and/or under the engine cradle will help, as will an interior support bar-if you are willing to live with a bar inside the passenger compartment. A rear shock tower brace will help too and is almost invisible in the trunk. Have a reputable body shop check out the Unibody for any cracked spot welds too. Sometimes just welding up the framerails and other areas that receive only cursory spot welds will help in stiffening the chassis also.
Where's That Manual Choke?My '89 5.0 began to experience some rough running about five months ago. It is what I would best describe as stumbling. It is most obvious on the 1-2 upshift. Occasionally, it will backfire through the induction if I push it at all while I go up an incline. If it were a carbureted car, I would know that there was a problem with the choke.
It appears as though I need to pull the choke out a little bit. I've also noticed that upon starting the car, the engine frequently does not run at an rpm higher than the normal idle for a short period of time as it used to do. This condition lasts for only three to four minutes, then it runs as strong as ever. The car has 175,000 miles on it, but you would never know it. The engine is bone stock, except for a K&N air filter.
I do all of my own mechanical work, but I've taken the car to Ford dealers four times in its life. Each time, it came back with more problems than it had when I took it in. I've kept up a steady maintenance schedule throughout the car's life. I changed the plugs, but with very little effect. It appears to be a fuel management problem.
I ran the EEC IV self-diagnostic, and both the KOEO and KOER tests result in a service code 11-system passes. I performed both tests with the car warmed up, as specified in the manual that came with the tester. Since this problem exists only after a cold start, I tried running the diagnostics with a cold start. The KOEO yielded a code 24 and the KOER had a code 21, both indicating that the engine coolant temperature was not up to normal parameters, as I would expect.
Additionally, three times during this period, one plug fouled upon a warm start-up. I was able to clear it with about 15 seconds of higher rpm (2,500) running. This may or may not be related. Where do I go from here?Chuck CromIndependence, ORThough your EEC test didn't come up with anything conclusive, you still have a problem somewhere. Let's take a look at some supporting systems. Have you checked the available fuel pressure? Fuel pressure should be in the 38-42-psi range for the car to run smoothly-anything lower and you can have a hesitation or stumble on acceleration. As for your low idle on a cold start-up, the culprit could be a sludged throttle body and/or the idle-air bypass controller. When the throttle body wall and throttle blade get coated in sludge from crankcase-vapor recirculation, it can drastically affect idle speed. Often times, the inside walls and bypass opening of the idle-air bypass controller will be so conta-minated, hardly any air flows through at idle. While this usually throws a code 12 or 13, sometimes the PCM isn't sensitive enough to detect this problem. Inspect the throttle body for buildup, and clean it with a rag soaked in carburetor cleaner. If the idle-air bypass is full of sludge deposits, you can unbolt it from the side of the throttle body and clean it separately as well. Good luck with your repairs.
The V-6 DoctorIn the Oct. 2000 issue, you responded to a letter ("V-6 History Lesson," p. 84) without really responding to it. It seems that the 3.8L V-6 from the '83-'86 is the black sheep of the Blue Oval family. Nobody really responds to questions about it. Sure, it will never make the power of a 5.0, but performance and economy can be improved.
Cars with this engine can potentially handle better than the nose-heavy GT, thanks to aluminum heads, intake, and front cover. Responding to a question from a reader helps that reader and other readers in the same boat. Furthermore, the 2.9 was never, never used in a Mustang. The solid lifter 2.8 was used from the '74 to the '82-171ci, German-built. The 2.9 was used in the Ranger/Bronco II. Less popular engine sizes are a good, cheap way into the hobby. I am in the process of restoring an '84 Mercury Capri with a 3.8, a C5, and a 2.73:1 axle. I have found that there is virtually no information on these cars. They are much more rare than a Mustang, in that only 14,117 were built for the '84 model year (and less and less after that). I would like to know about how to obtain information on the '79-'86 Mustang and Capri that would help in the restoration.E. GrimmeEast Hampton, CT
Sorry, Mr. Grimme. We stand by our answer and believe that we gave the reader good information to help him on his way. As for the 2.9/2.8 snafu, yes, you are correct there. We got our ".8" and our ".9" mixed up when we were writing the reply. If you read this column regularly, we do not answer only 5.0 questions (just read the letter below yours). Quite often, there are turbo four, inline-four, V-6, modular V-8, and other letters printed on these pages. Why even a Mustang II, a Fox-body Thunderbird, a Mark VII, or a Capri can show up here from time to time. We definitely don't discriminate. If we are guilty of anything, it is not getting answers to our readers fast enough, due to our volume of mail. If we had the budget, we could hire someone just to fire back e-mail replies (please hold the resumes).
To answer your question, contact the Mustang Club of America for judging rules and judging sheets for '79-'86 Mustangs. You will find plenty of detailing information there. Also, check out major shows, such as MCA Nationals-where the best cars are brought out. Take some notes and plenty of pictures as to where things go: colors, orientation, and more. Good luck with your restoration.
3.8 Power HungryI have been a Mustang fan for quite some time now. I own a '97 3.8 V-6 Mustang. I have already added a dual exhaust system using Flowmaster mufflers, a K&N filter, an underdrive pulley system, and a Hypertech chip. Besides the supercharger system from Vortech, what else could I add to get a little more horsepower out of my Pony?Trey SmithWaynesboro, MS
One word, Trey-nitrous. A nice little 75hp, fogger-style system will really wake up your V-6 for when you need it. The system is reasonably priced and quite simple to install, if you keep the horsepower numbers down. Other options you can look into include a steeper set of rear gears and a cold air/ram air conversion. Of course, if you want to make more naturally aspirated horsepower, there are companies such as Super Six Motorsports [(912) 926-4489] that offer ported heads, intakes, custom cams, and more. One of Super Six's cars has all of its own engine upgrades and a Vortech supercharger putting out nearly 400 hp at the rear wheels. Yes, look again-that read "400 hp." Give Super Six a call, and tell them Mustang Monthly sent you.

A recent set of regulatory decisions shows China's competition authorities are willing to take action against companies controlled by the state. Lawyers have welcomed the increased transparency and are cautiously optimistic about the future of anti-monopoly enforcement in the country.
November 2011 was a month of unprecedented actions involving the Chinese competition authorities.
In the field of merger-control, the Anti-monopoly Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce (Mofcom) issued its ninth conditional clearance decision, concerning the establishment of a joint venture between General Electric (China) and China Shenhua Coal-to-liquids and Chemicals.
This was not only the first published decision involving a joint venture, but also the first involving a state-owned enterprise (SOE) directly controlled by the central government.

San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Brian Mullan was selected the Honda MLS Player of the Week by the Professional Soccer Reporters Association (PSRA) for the week ending Aug. 8 (Week 19). Mullan, who earned his first career Player of the Week honor, opened the scoring for his team and set up Dwayne De Rosario's blistering world-class volley late in the match that sealed the three points for the Earthquakes in a 2-0 home win over D.C. United on Saturday.
The Colorado native broke a scoreless tie in the 17th minute by tallying his third goal of the season after a scramble inside the box following a free kick near the corner flag. His first attempt on goal was blocked, but he tried his luck again and beat United goalkeeper Troy Perkins to the back post, despite the efforts of D.C. defender Bryan Namoff, who got a foot to the attempt but was unable to keep it from crossing the line.
"I made a near post run, and Jeff [Agoos] crossed it perfectly into the middle," Mullan said after the game. "I thought that Todd [Dunivant] had it and then it ended up to me and I just shot it. It hit one of their defenders, bounced back to me, and then I decided to shoot it again, and it found a way to go in."
There was no way of keeping out San Jose's second goal seven minutes from time. Mullan beat United defender Brandon Prideaux down the sideline before delivering a driven cross from the right of the box to teammate Dwayne De Rosario. The Canadian international then connected with a first-time, right-footed strike from just inside the area that rattled off the underside of the crossbar on its way into the back of the net to bring an end to United's hopes.
The four-year veteran earns his first career MLS Player of the Week award and is the third different Earthquakes player to win the award this year (Pat Onstad - Week 2 and Week 7, Brian Ching - Week 16).
Mullan was selected ahead of Dallas Burn goalkeeper Jeff Cassar and MetroStars forward John Wolyniec for this week's award. The Honda Major League Soccer Player of the Week is selected every week throughout the MLS regular season by a panel of journalists from the Professional Soccer Reporters Association (PSRA).

Low bid should raise red flag
Why shouldn't you accept the lowest bid for a construction job? Here's what builders told the New York Times: If the bids are within 15 percent of each other, go ahead and take the low bid. Lower than that and the contractor may not understand the scope of the job, may be looking to make it up with add-ons later, or is cutting corners on materials or insurance. On the up side, the contractor may have a space in his calendar and is willing to bid low to keep his crews working.
How to clean resin outdoor furniture
Are your resin outdoor chairs starting to look their age? Before you make the decision to replace them, give them a good scrub. Mix 3 tablespoons of powdered laundry detergent (or oxygenated bleach such as OxyClean) in a gallon of warm water. A scrub brush will work, but avoid stiff bristles, which can scratch or gouge the plastic surface. (A Mr. Clean Magic Eraser may eliminate stubborn dirt streaks.) Let the solution soak in for a few minutes. Rinse thoroughly, then dry.

You may have noticed that some types of cancers tend to run in the family. This may be because family members share similar lifestyles. Maybe smoking or obesity runs in the family, predisposing a parent and his or her children to cancer. Or maybe abnormal genes are passed from generation to generation, as in the case of hereditary cancers.
Pets and humans suffer from the same kinds of cancers, though the most common types in each will differ. While the causes of most cancers are multifactorial, there is a genetic component to some cancers in pets just as there is in humans. Scientists are very interested in the genetics of cancer, because finding the genes that lead to cancer may also lead to a cure. In 2005, the entire genome of the dog was mapped, making the dog a perfect model for studying the role of genes in cancer.
About half of dogs over the age of ten years will develop cancer, and a quarter of all dogs will have some type of cancer in their lifetime. While both purebred dogs and mixed breed dogs can get cancer, we cannot deny that purebred dogs seem to bear the brunt of cancer woes. When we breed a dog to look and act a specific way, we restrict their genetic variability, and therefore inevitably introduce genetic diseases. In the same way that some dog breeds are prone to hip dysplasia or cataracts, some breeds are prone to cancer.
Golden Retrievers are one of the most favored of dogs in this country, but sadly, they are one of the top breeds to develop cancer, especially lymphoma. Many breeds have particular cancers; German Shepherds get hemangiosarcomas, Great Danes, Rottweilers and Greyhounds get osteosarcomas, Boxers get mast cell tumors, and Bernese Mountain Dogs get malignant histiocytosis. I could go on and on. But just as you might accept the fact that Dachshunds are prone to bad backs, you also have to accept that your purebred dog may be predisposed to cancer simply because of genetics.
Currently, there are ongoing projects searching for genes that cause cancer. Finding the genes that cause particular cancers will help scientists, who will also want to learn how common those genes are in other breeds. If genetic tests are developed, breeders can also use the information to pick and choose who they breed in an attempt to avoid passing on cancer genes to future generations. As if helping our best friends wasn't enough, canine cancer studies can ultimately help humans in their fight for a cure.
One such study, the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, run by the Morris Animal Foundation, is seeking to enroll 3,000 purebred Golden Retrievers between the ages of 6 months and 2 years in an effort to learn more about preventing and treating canine cancer. The study is featured in the upcoming "Work & Play" issue of fetch! magazine, due in homes Thanksgiving week.
If you're not a Petplan policyholder, and you'd like to read more about the study, you can find fetch! magazine at your local Barnes & Noble bookseller.

We had another great night here in Auckland, New Zealand. We saw some 1,500 people come out for our meeting last night, with around 175 people responding to the invitation to receive Christ!
That is 375 people who have responded at our "pre-crusade" rallies! That's like a mini-Harvest Crusades event, all by itself. I think we will have a tremendous event, when we come back here next year!
Thanks for your prayers.

BERLIN (Oct. 3)
A mixed German Jewish and non- Jewish audience greeted with applause and laughter last night the opening of the first German performance of Paddy Chaeysky's "The Tenth Man. " The play deals with synagogue patterns in the United States
The play is being presented in the Berliner Theater as an American contribution to the 12th annual Cultural Festival in West Berlin. The translation was made by Eric Burger, a writer born in Berlin who has lived in New York for the past 20 years. He told newsmen last night that he had to eliminate some of the Jewish religious ritual "because there are some things a German actor Just cannot do."
The plan to show the play initially created some opposition from West Berlin's tiny Jewish community who felt some of the rites might be misunderstood by a German audience. But the audience seemed to enjoy and accept the lively religious scenes without difficulty although the playwright's allusions to the problems of management faced by a modern American rabbi appeared to puzzle the German playgoers. It will run here for several weeks before starting a tour of several West German cities.

Just a few short days after a very positive return to the racetrack for Marussia after the break, the team are up and running again in Monza for Round 13 of the Formula 1 world championship, the Formula 1 Gran Premio D'Italia. The Autodromo Nazionale Monza situated close to Milan is another majestic circuit from a bygone era, so the last two European races on the calendar really are designed to spoil deserving fans, as well as teams and drivers alike.
Timo Glock
"Monza is quite a high speed circuit and also a very traditional circuit, with some very special characteristics such as the long straights and high speed corners. Here it is very important that a car is quick on the straights as well as good under braking. Every time it is an eventful race, so I'm looking forward to it, although it is the last race of the European section of the season. We do need to keep our expectations in check though as Monza is a completely different challenge due to the low downforce set-up required and realistically we did not look too strong in Canada, which calls for the same type of set-up. We have moved forward in a number of ways as a team and, for example, the fantastic pitstops in Spa also contributed to our strong showing there, so there are some things we can do this weekend to try to make the race work better for us. We need to see what the weather will do; normally it is hot which is good for the running we need to achieve, but it can also be quite demanding for the brakes. We will work hard to make the best possible result and enjoy a very nice track to go racing at."
Charles Pic
"It was very positive to see the progress we made in Spa. The team are working well together and we have a good momentum. I think we have to wait and see just how much of that performance we can carry over in Monza though, as the circuit and the demands upon the car are completely different. Much like Montreal, the low downforce characteristics are less well-suited to our car and we know that. Monza is a very special racetrack and I finished on the podium here in GP2 last year, so I am looking forward to returning this weekend. It's the last European race, so we aim to do the best job we can and bring home a nice team result."
John Booth, Team Principal
"It has been another tight turnaround as we head into the Italian Grand Prix weekend, but we'd better get used to that as it's only the first of four back-to-backs in this second half of the season! This is also the last of the European races, so the remaining seven rounds will quite literally be a 'long haul'. We're in a good place right now and last weekend's performance in Spa boosted everyone's spirits. We do need to temper that, however, with the realistic expectations we have for this race, because we aren't simply picking up where we left off. Monza is quite a different challenge as its high speed characteristics call for a low downforce set-up and we know from Canada that our car does not work as well at this type of track. We had so many areas to focus our attentions on this season and although we have seen good progress in most areas, Montreal and Monza were always going to be two races where we may not fare so favourably. Much like Spa, this is a race we always look forward to and many of us will take a bit of time out to enjoy some of the special things it has to offer, such as the old banking, which is always worth a visit."
