Man arrested in Exeter for child porn, exposing self to girl, 7By JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent
March 25. 2014 5:54PM
EXETER – After learning a warrant was issued, an Indiana man drove to town and turned himself in to local police Tuesday.
Stephen S. Day, 26, currently of Indiana, was charged with a felony count of child pornography and a Class A misdemeanor charge of indecent exposure on a child.
The investigation began after the mother of the girl contacted police Aug. 10 to say her daughter indicated the man exposed himself for about two hours when they were alone the previous day, according to police.
"During an interview with detectives, Day also confessed to being a 'collector' of child pornography and stated that he had built his collection while stationed in Guam for the Navy. Day later told investigators that he wiped/deleted most of his collection upon returning to the U.S.," according to police.
After obtaining a search warrant for Day's current desktop computer, investigators said they discovered several photos of child sexual abuse images.
Day is being held at the Rockingham County Jail on $500 cash bail and is scheduled to be arraigned via video Wednesday, according to police.

When we looked at the new Microsoft Windows 8 with an eye to whether or not the public sector could make use of the new technology, one factor we considered was speed. Of course this was a minor factor in our recommendation compared with more critical government issues such as security, scalability and ease of use, but speed's still an important one to consider.
So could Windows 8 actually be too fast? On a laptop PC with a solid state drive (SSD), Windows 8 can go from completely powered down to fully up and ready in just seven seconds. The problem is, that doesn't give a lot of time for users to hit the F8 key to initiate changes. In fact, according to a Microsoft developer's blog, the window for users to tap the right button during startup can be as brief as 200 milliseconds. That's like the difference between a gold medal and a silver finish at the Olympics, and not an easy target for most people to hit.
When I recently explained all the advantages of the UEFI interface, which is replacing BIOS on most new PCs, I never thought that one problem would actually be getting to the UEFI as the option blazed by on the screen.
This could be a situation that affects public-sector employees more than others. The boot time is fast no matter what computer you're using, but having an SSD makes it faster, and almost all of the rugged gear used in military and field settings is going to have an SSD. Certainly a higher percentage of government employees will have them in their notebooks than the overall public.
It was nice to find out that even though this problem might seem a bit silly on the surface, Microsoft saw it as a real issue and made steps to fix it. From within Windows 8, you can handle boot-related issues after the device has completed the boot process. Just go to the boot menu and you will see options for booting from a USB stick or configuring startup programs. The advanced settings will also allow you to jump into the UEFI.
Secondly, Windows 8 will automatically launch UEFI for you if it encounters a major problem during startup. So you can automatically go there during serious trouble, or launch it on your own if you simply want to mess with settings.
And you can always still hit F8 during that tiny window of time your hardware allows during start-up, though you might need to hire a professional gamer with fast enough fingers to get the job done. On that front, I'm a little rusty from my Half-Life championship days, but could still offer my services.

Quite surprising having all these hardware with that kind of OS running it. http://www.spectra.com/spectra-support.asp
I Don't understand the complaints. My windows 8 PC with its SSD boots in 8 seconds. Of course with only an HDD you should expect a higher wait but if it takes 5:04 min then their an issue with your computer.
Ha. Sack of lies! I just booted my Windows 8. 5:04. Five minutes and four seconds.
I've already installed more than 50 Windows 8 systems and I haven't yet had one that was even fast enough much less too fast. Where does this stuff come from anyway?
Win8 turns boat anchors into trolling motors.

NH originals: Mary Louise Hancock, George TwiggEDITORIAL
December 10. 2017 3:32AM
Mary Louise Hancock and George Twigg III died last week. Some of their friends might be surprised that we write of them together, but the two were illustrative of what has made New Hampshire special.
Hancock and Twigg were polar opposites when it came to politics. She was a liberal Democrat, he a conservative Republican. What made them both special is the passion that infused their political beliefs, and the tenacity and wit they used to express them.
That last attribute, wit, may have been the most important. Both had a gleam in their eye when they were throwing a political punch, or taking one. They took their beliefs seriously but themselves not so much.
In her later years, Mary Louise Hancock was known as an important figure in the state Democratic Party, both for her work (a state senator from Concord) and her sage advice to candidates from President on down. But she had a successful career as New Hampshire state planning director before that. The polio that hit her as a babe only made her stronger.
As for George Twigg, if there was a picture to go with the dictionary definition of "volunteer," it would be his.
Decades of running up and down basketball courts as a referee kept George trim. He reveled in boosting dogsled racing in the Lakes Region. He served the state on the eminent domain commission and then its successor, the Board of Tax and Land Appeals.
His auctioneering skills were put to good use as volunteer auctioneer for years on New Hampshire Public TV's annual auction.
His political passion led him to work on campaigns for Meldrim Thomson, Mitt Romney, and George W. Bush.
If there is a sign-up sheet for politics in Heaven, we have no doubt two names have been added.

Avalanche's Patrick Roy loses it on Ducks' Bruce Boudreau
Patrick Roy announced his return to the NHL in a big way.
The new Colorado Avalanche head coach and his club ran roughshod over the Anaheim Ducks en route to a 6-1 win in his debut behind the bench. The hall of famer also got into a shouting match with Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau after the game and nearly broke down the glass divider that separated the two .
Roy was irate at Ducks defenceman Ben Lovejoy's knee-on-knee hit against No. 1 overall draft pick Nathan MacKinnon late in the game.
"That should have been a penalty," Roy told reporters. "I certainly didn't like that. When it's 6-0, I don't think this game needs this kind of cheapshot."
Boudreau took exception to Roy yelling at Anaheim's players during a skirmish in the final seconds of the game.
"It's not our job to be yapping at players," Boudreau said. "I told him that's bush league."
The two clubs don't meet again until March 14.

Roger Brown's First and 10: Bedford senior quarterback Colella steps in, steps upBy ROGER BROWN
New Hampshire Union Leader
September 21. 2013 11:05PM
When the season began, Bedford had uncertainty at the quarterback position.
James Caparell, who had been Bedford's starting quarterback since midway through his freshman year, graduated as the state's all-time passing leader (5,389 yards) after leading the Bulldogs to last year's Division II championship game.
Bedford has clearly found a capable replacement, however. Senior Dan Colella, a standout on Bedford's lacrosse team, has guided the Bulldogs to a 3-0 start in their first Division I season. Bedford entered the weekend tied with Concord for the No. 2 spot in the Union Leader/WGIR/WMUR Power Poll.
"He looks pretty good to me," Londonderry coach Jon Rich said after Bedford beat the No. 9 Lancers 19-0 on Friday night. "He looks like he's very capable of running an offense. He runs hard, and the dual-threat quarterbacks are always the toughest to defend."
Colella completed 15 of 21 pass attempts for 139 yards and a touchdown (a 27-yard pass to Nick Vailas) against Londonderry. He also ran the ball 10 times for 74 yards and a touchdown. His 14-yard TD run capped the scoring with 2:51 to play.
"Great poise, and we talked about that a lot this week," Bedford coach Kurt Hines said. "We want to make sure that when he does run the ball he runs with a purpose. He stepped up big time in the offseason making sure he hit the weight room and got some passing in. He's come along very nicely."
- - - - - - -
AFTER missing a week with a dislocated thumb, Nashua South quarterback Trevor Knight was back on the field Friday night and played a large role in South's 38-13 triumph over Timberlane of Plaistow.
Knight, who will play at the University of New Hampshire next season, ran for 176 yards and two touchdowns and completed 14 of 20 passes for 110 yards and two touchdowns as No. 4 South raised its Division I record to 3-0.
Portsmouth's Donovan Phanor is another quarterback who returned to action Friday night after suffering an injury in Week 1. Phanor did not play in last weekend's victory over Laconia because of an ankle sprain suffered on the first offensive series of Portsmouth's opener against Trinity of Manchester.
Phanor completed 5 of 8 passes for 178 yards and three TDs in Portsmouth's 48-14 victory over previously unbeaten Merrimack Valley. He also added 47 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
Offensive lineman Noah Curry and Pat Glynn also saw their first action of the season for the Clippers, who led Merrimack Valley 48-0 at halftime and raised their Division II record to 2-1.
- - - - - - -
MARK PHILLIPS collected his first victory as Alvirne of Hudson's head coach when his Broncos finished strong in a 42-32 triumph over Dover on Friday.
Alvirne overcame deficits of 21-0 and 32-14. Tyler Cabral returned a fumble 53 yards for a touchdown and scooped up a blocked punt and scored from 27 yards away. Each TD came in the fourth quarter.
Phillips, who used to be an assistant coach at Bishop Guertin of Nashua, replaced Bob Nimblett as Alvirne's head coach after the 2012 season.
Merrimack got off to a 2-0 start in Division I this season, but didn't come close to building on that momentum on Friday night against Concord. The Crimson Tide scored 42 first-half points en route to a 55-0 victory.
Merrimack also learned that running back/linebacker Joe Giampietro will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury suffered in last weekend's victory over Manchester Memorial.
Through two games Merrimack led the state in scoring (100 points). Concord improved to 3-0 and has scored 142 points in its three victories.

Au Gres VFW votes to merge with Standish post
Au GRES — If everything goes as expected, the Au Gres VFW post is looking to merge into the Standish one later this year.
Au Gres Post Commander Tom Roiter said nothing is set in stone at this time, as the post is still waiting to receive approval from the state and national VFW departments, but he expected to hear back one way or the other within a few months. If approved, the 96 Au Gres members will officially be attached to the Standish post.
"There's nothing precise at this time, so I can't give a lot of details," Roiter said. "Until we hear something we're in a limbo."
Gerald Dewald, quartermaster of the Au Gres post, said the potential merger was voted on in mid-July, where the majority decided to apply for a post merger.
Dewald said the post is not getting new members from more recent wars, and members who fought in World War II and the Korean War are getting older and less physically able to take part in fundraising activities.
The actual Au Gres VFW building is currently for sale as well, Dewald said. Assuming the merger goes through, he said the post is interested in donating materials, such as photos, trophies, and letters, to the Arenac County Historical Society to display in the county museum.
"A lot of them take space to display, and we can't display them without a building," Dewald said. "There's not enough space at Standish's hall, so we feel the historical society is the best place for them."
Dewald said the post merger would not affect the VFW's cemetery visits, as he believed they would still be able to visit all the same places they do already alongside the cemeteries the Standish post members visit.
If the merger is denied, Roiter said the post membership would have to discuss what direction to go in.
Dewald told the Independent back in February that the post needed new members who served in more recent conflicts to keep it going, as many of its members were in their 70s and 80s. He added that posts across the country are facing that same issue.

There's a great exhibition on at Street Level Photoworks in King St, showing the rock photographs of Harry Papadopolous. It's a huge selection of atmospheric photos, really out of the ordinary in style and subject as far as music photography goes. Also, the Lovely Photos of Edwyn Collins-quotient is very high.
Harry was born in Helensburgh and became staff photographer for Sounds magazine. His friendship with fellows Scots in bands like Orange Juice, Aztec Camera and The Bluebells led to an archive of great candid photos like this one.
The whole exhibition really sums up the spirit of the early 80s - handmade haircuts, dodgy jumpers, charity shop chic which somehow came together to be cool. The exhibition is on until 25 February so catch it while you can.

Southern cassowary
The southern cassowary (Casuarius casuarius) also known as double-wattled cassowary, Australian cassowary or two-wattled cassowary,[2] is a large flightless black bird. It is a ratite and therefore related to the emu, ostrich, and the genus Rhea. (See also dwarf cassowary and northern cassowary.)
It has stiff, bristly black plumage, a blue face and neck, red on the nape and two red wattles measuring around 17.8 cm (7.0 in) in length hanging down around its throat.[2] A horn-like brown casque, measuring 13 to 16.9 cm (5.1 to 6.7 in) high, sits atop the head.[2] The bill can range from 9.8 to 19 cm (3.9 to 7.5 in).[2] The three-toed feet are thick and powerful, equipped with a lethal dagger-like claw up to 12 cm (4.7 in) on the inner toe.[2] The plumage is sexually monomorphic, but the female is dominant and larger with a longer casque, larger bill and brighter-colored bare parts. The juveniles have brown longitudinal striped plumage. It is the largest member of the cassowary family and is the second heaviest bird on earth, at a maximum size estimated at 85 kg (187 lb) and 190 cm (75 in) tall. Normally this species ranges from 127–170 cm (50–67 in) in length. The height is normally 1.5–1.8 m (4.9–5.9 ft)[2][3] and females average 58.5 kg (129 lb) and males averaging 29–34 kg (64–75 lb).[2][4] Most adult birds will weigh between 17 and 70 kg (37 and 154 lb).[5] It is technically the largest Asian bird (since the extinction of the Arabian ostrich, and previously the moa of New Zealand) and the largest Australian bird (though the emu may be slightly taller).
Range and habitat[edit]
|Range of the southern cassowary[6]
The southern cassowary is distributed in tropical rainforests of Indonesia, New Guinea and northeastern Australia,[7] and it prefers elevations below 1,100 m (3,600 ft) in Australia,[2] and 500 m (1,600 ft) on New Guinea.[8]
|Southern Papua New Guinea
|Aru Islands
|Northeastern Australia
|1,500 to 2,500
|**Paluma Range
|**McIlwraith Range
|**Jardine River National Park
It forages on the forest floor for fallen fruit and is capable of safely digesting some fruits toxic to other animals. They also eat fungi, and some insects and small vertebrates. The southern cassowary is a solitary bird, that pairs only in breeding season, which takes place in late winter or spring. The male builds a nest on the ground;[2] a mattress of herbaceous plant material 5 to 10 centimetres (2–4 in) thick and up to 100 centimetres (39 in) wide. This is thick enough to let moisture drain away from the eggs. The male also incubates the eggs and raises the chicks alone. A clutch of three or four eggs are laid measuring 138 by 95 millimetres (5.4 in × 3.7 in). They have a granulated surface and are initially bright pea-green in colour although they fade with age.[2][9]
They make a booming call during mating season and hissing and rumblings otherwise. Chicks will make frequent high-pitches whistles to call the male.[8]
The blade-like claws are capable of killing humans and dogs if the bird is provoked.
Due to ongoing habitat loss, limited range, and overhunting in some areas, the southern cassowary is evaluated as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[1] The Australian population is listed as Endangered under Federal and Queensland State legislation.[citation needed] Some threats are through habitat loss (logging), feral animals eating their eggs, hunting, and roadkill.[1][2] Road building, feral animals and hunting are the worst of these threats. It has an occurrence range of 396,000 km2 (153,000 sq mi), and between 10,000 and 20,000 birds were estimated in a 2002 study, with between 1,500 and 2,500 in Australia.[8] There are occurrences of southern cassowaries being bred outside of Australia in captivity, like at White Oak Conservation in Yulee, Florida, United States.[10]
Presently, most authorities consider the southern cassowary monotypic, but several subspecies have been described.[11] It has proven very difficult to confirm the validity of these due to individual variations, age-related variations, the relatively few available specimens (and the bright skin of the head and neck – the basis of which several subspecies have been described – fades in specimens), and that locals are known to have traded live cassowaries for hundreds, if not thousands of years, some of which are likely to have escaped/been deliberately introduced to regions away from their origin.[11]
Cassowaries, of the family Casuariidae, are closely related to the kiwis in the family Apterygidae, with these two bird families diverging from a common ancestor 40 million years ago. The southern cassowary is in the class Aves, which includes all birds; those that can fly as well as those that cannot.
Their binomial name Casuarius casuarius is derived from the Malay word kesuari, meaning cassowary.[12] The southern cassowary was first described by Carolus Linnaeus in his 18th century work, Systema Naturae, as Struthio casuarius,[13] from a specimen from Seram, in 1758.[2] It is now the type species of the genus Casuarius.[2]

REID architecture's Three Quays project has been given planning approval. The mixed use/ residential scheme includes 141 luxury apartments with retail and public space at ground level. It sits on the north bank of the Thames, enjoying unrivalled views of the river and Tower Bridge.
The prime requirement of the brief was to maximise benefit of the views. The number of apartments with a river view has been optimised by incorporating a scissor duplex apartment. This allows all the living rooms to have a view to the south and bedrooms face the north.
There will be a thin film of overflowing water onto stainless steel, immediately above the glazed façade of the ground floor, four 'columns' then take the water down into pools on the ground.

Here is a cool little piece of budget gaming tech. These LavaGlow controllers actually retail for less than regular PS3 controllers. What makes them even better is the fact that they glow. If you like playing games at night with the lights out, you won't have to go hunting for your controls. Nobody has any idea how well these things handle, but if cheap PS2 controllers are anything to go by, you will probably be sacrificing a little bit of smoothness. That is OK in most games and perfectly acceptable for the controller that your buddy or your little brother gets to use.
They take 3 AAAs, come in red or blue, and cost $34.99
Nice idea. But it would be better if they rumbled.
Will the battery charge be correct when checking it on PS?
Just look at it. I never buy third party controllers, this should cost like 2 dollars.
yeah.. it even says in the description, "no one knows how it'll handle" which isn't a good sign.
and it better be cheaper than the real thing. sixaxis retail at 50 bucks a pop..
sixaxis i'm wondering about it because i bought a logitech i had to take it back because i wanted my friend to play warhawk but it didnt have sixaxis control so i had to take it back
its annoying when they say it is a ps3 controller but it has no sixaxis

WASHINGTON (AP) — Today's lawmakers might be excused for thinking they've seen this movie: A recently re-elected president spars with a quarrelsome Congress over an issue that roils the nation.
The so-called fiscal cliff wasn't at the core of the film screened Wednesday in the Capitol for lawmakers. The movie "Lincoln" explores the political machinations involving President Abraham Lincoln and Congress in 1865 as they considered the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery.
On hand before the evening screening at the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center were the movie's director, Steven Spielberg, and its star, Daniel Day-Lewis, who portrays Lincoln. Both also met privately with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Earlier Wednesday, reporters and congressional staff members filled a Senate corridor to get a view of Day-Lewis, considered a top contender for an Oscar.

"In my opinion Motivating People to Be Physically Active,
Second Edition is the best book of 2009 on how to apply theory to
practice. It is the only one I have liked well enough to write a
recommendation.The book starts with four chapters that provide a
thorough review of physical activity and behavior change theory, with
special emphasis on motivational readiness to change. This review was
one of the best I have read in terms of being well grounded
scientifically but also very practical. The next chapter describes how
to apply these concepts to assess physical activity patterns. The final
four chapters describe how to develop programs for individual
counseling, group counseling, work settings and community settings. The
book includes forms that can be used to track physical activity and
counsel clients, and the appendix is full of questionnaires that can be
used to measure many of the concepts described in the book.The
book is well organized, clearly written, thoroughly documented and easy
to read. I recommend it highly to anyone who is involved in designing
or managing fitness programs, coaching or personal fitness training, or
is teaching or studying these issues."

Might as Well Bar and Grill
Never shall I have a first born, for I shall surely love this place more than ... it
At first you might look at this pizza and say, "fuck me that slice is small and it's half bubble, fuck that." But check this out, this slice only costs a buck. Though this slice was small, it was abnormally good. Though there is clearly oregano on there, I didn't do it. If you've read my other reviews, you know I love oregano and apply it liberally. Beyond that, the cheese was just damn excellent. I don't know what they use but my first guess was Grande, which is a great cheese for a dollar slice. The sauce was lightly applied and therefore nondescript but also inoffensive.
Then we come to the issue of the crust. On the one hand, it was not exactly my type of crust - it was too thin and insubstantial. On the other hand, it was cooked exceptionally well, tasted fine, and hardly withstands any legitimate complaints. You might notice and be offended by the bubble in the middle of the slice. I can understand that but I grew up with bubble pizza, love that shit, and refuse to pander to your silliness.
In the above picture you can see the bottom of the slice. There is something vaguely Neapolitan about it. Yet after seeing the complete and final product it kind of reminds me more of some unleavened Jewish bread. I don't really mean this in a bad way because I was truly floored by this pizza. Though for me a slice is often made or broken by the crust, this slice really impressed me with its cheese. The crust was more than passable and the sauce was barely there but the cheese shone through like a motherfucker.
But then I went back again. I'll be honest when I say that I love this place. I love their dollar slices (they far outpace any dollar slice you will find in NYC and kill many slices that are north of $2.50 locally), love their wings, their drink prices, their location, their staff, their outdoor bar, just about everything. When I remember how terrible Fat Tony's was at this exact location, my heart is so warm that hobos flock to it for warmth.
However, on my second visit, my slice of pizza was merely 'pretty good.'
My second slice was cheese-heavy and it lacked oregano. The slice itself was larger but the crust resembled a more typical NY crust. I had some weird fascination with their thin (almost cracker-like) crust which I had had before, so this annoyed me. Though the sauce was more liberally applied, it remained inoffensive to the point that I didn't make note of it. The cheese was really the main culprit. Whereas the first slice's cheese was great, this one seemed too-heavily applied and, more importantly, of inferior quality.
This could be chalked up to a mozzarella run to Lowes due to low stock and desperation. Or maybe they're realizing that they shouldn't be using good cheese on dollar slices. Either way, I, Pete, your pizza reviewer, refuse to rate this slice just yet. Partially because I've had both a great slice and a mediocre slice and don't know where I stand and partially because I know I'm going back. Because I love this place so I "might as well." Aw fuck I feel dirty for even saying that.
Edit: Okay I'm giving this place 3 recircs. That's pretty fucking good for a dollar slice.
3 recircs out of a possible 8 recircs (lower is better)

Nashua squad came close to suspectBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Sunday News Correspondent
April 21. 2013 12:03AM
NASHUA - The boat where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was hiding during Friday's massive manhunt was between 100 and 200 yards outside of the search area in Watertown, Mass., where the Nashua Police Department's Special Reaction Team had been deployed to assist local authorities.
Twenty-five police officers from the city - part of the Special Reaction Team and Hazardous Device Unit - went to Watertown on Friday to help locate one of two suspects in the Boston bombings that killed three people and injured nearly 200 on Monday.
"We train for a variety of different things to include home searches, but it is nearly impossible to shut down an entire neighborhood for training," said Lt. Bryan Marshall of the Nashua Police Department.
Nashua police left for Massachusetts about 9:30 a.m. on Friday, and by 11 a.m. had already been assigned to work with the North Eastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council, teaming up to conduct door-to-door searches in what Marshall described as Zone 4 of the hot zone in Watertown.
Using the department's special armored vehicle, Nashua police officers roamed the streets, entering homes on one side of the roadway while NEMLEC searched residences on the opposing side.
In addition to searching homes, city police also canvassed backyards, sheds, garages, crawl spaces, under porches and any other locations that homeowners were concerned about, according to Marshall, who said individual homes could take up to 20 minutes to thoroughly search.
Their search area, he said, was just yards from where the carjacked Mercedes had been dumped and where explosive devices had rattled the area the night before.
The occupants, who were ordered to "shelter in place," were not noticeably traumatized by the incident, but understandably had looks of concern, said Marshall, adding they were mostly pleased to have such a heavy police presence in their neighborhood.
It was a sensitive search because police were unsure whether the suspect was inside any of the homes they were searching, possibly telling the occupants what to say to authorities, explained Marshall.
Many of the residents had heard the gunshots from the night before, and the vehicles damaged by gunfire were still parked on the streets from the earlier shootout, said Marshall.
About a half hour before the second suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was located by authorities Friday night, Marshall said, Nashua police stopped their searches and headed back to the Massachusetts State Police command center to eat. Their unit was relieved by a separate tactical team, he said.
Throughout the day, Marshall said, his crew was so busy conducting door-to-door searches that it didn't have time to eat or answer texts from concerned family members.
Until they pulled their vehicle into the command center and witnessed the hundreds of media and satellite trucks on scene, the actual gravity of the situation may not have set in, according to Marshall, who described Friday's work as the most memorable in his career.
While getting some food at the command center Friday night, Marshall said, his officers began hearing multiple gunshots over the radio system.
"At that point, we all made a run for our armored vehicles," said Marshall, explaining Boston police and Massachusetts State Police were still out in the hot zone and immediately deployed to the area of the boat where the suspect was spotted.
There were so many vehicles clogging the streets that Marshall said Nashua police had to sit and listen to the capture unfold without being able to assist.
"It is gratifying that it came to a successful conclusion, but it is a little frustrating that he was found about 100 to 200 yards from our search area," said Marshall. "Everybody down there wanted to bring it to a successful conclusion."
Marshall said the Nashua Police Department was glad it was asked to help in Watertown and was eager to lend a hand in the search. He said there were about 1,000 law-enforcement officers throughout Watertown assisting in the manhunt.
His crew was back in Nashua about 10 p.m. on Friday.

Jeep Shots - April 2014Posted in News on March 18, 2014
Great Downgrade!
Marty Keylon of Pollock Pines, California, may have "downgraded" model years when he sold a '93 to his son-in-law to get an '89 YJ, but he says his new-old Jeep is "bad ass!" We won't argue after reading about all of the cool upgrades such as the late-model Chevy 350ci V-8 TBI engine swap with a Griffin aluminum radiator, and a 700R4 automatic transmission with a Hurst shifter. The four-speed transmission is connected to a Dana 300 transfer case with twin-stick controls leading to Dana 44 axles with disc brakes in the front and rear. The axles are custom Dutchman builds with 4.56 gears, chromoly shafts, and ARBs. The 15x10-inch slotted steel wheels with 37-inch Toyo Open Country MT tires are under the custom leaf-sprung suspension with a spring-over conversion and reverse shackles up front, and a ladder bar in the rear. The Jeep also has a custom full cage, bucket seats with five-point harnesses, a Warn winch with a remote control, and electric on-board air that uses the custom front bumper as the air tank. Marty is lucky enough to live just 45 minutes from the Rubicon, so you might see him on one of the trails in the area someday.
Medicated Matt
Matthew Parga-Manasse from Fayetteville, North Carolina, tells us he's "medicated" and from the looks of his '10 Rubicon, the mystery remedy seems to be working. The JK rides on 18-inch XD Monster wheels with 38-inch Toyo Cross Country MT tires under a Rock Krawler 51⁄2-inch long-arm coilover suspension lift. Tom Wood's driveshafts lead to 5.38 Superior gears and upgraded axleshafts inside the stock Dana 44 Rubicon axles that are strengthened with Poly Performance C-gussets. Matthew has installed pretty much everything in the Poison Spyder catalog to protect the JK and its occupants, along with a complete River Raider Off-Road skid plate system. The engine is stock, but has a Superchips programmer and a River Raider snorkel to keep the water out. Lighting up the trail are a 50-inch LED light bar and D2 spot lamp pods on the front bumper by Rigid Industries, which are controlled with by an sPod switch panel along with the Warn winch. The exterior has a custom color scheme with DuPont Hot Rod Black paint and an OffRoad Heroes soft top.
The Hard Stuff
Martin Schmidt of Lafayette, Colorado, told us "I prefer rocks," like these on Spring Creek Trail, but he also built his '04 TJ to be a multi-purpose rig. A 4.6L stroker engine with an NV231 T-case that has an Advanced Adapters RubiCrawler doubler powers the Jeep. The front and rear suspension are lifted with coils and remote-reservoir shocks by Nth Degree, and there's a Currie Antirock sway bar and steering linkage up front. The Dana 30 front axle and Dana 44 rear axle both have 4.88 gears, 30-spline chromoly shafts, ARB lockers, Poison Spyder rock rings, and Nth Degree rock sliders. The Raceline wheels are fitted with 37-inch Goodyear MT/R tires, there's a Warn winch on the narrow front bumper, and the rear seat has been ditched and replaced with a big lockbox. Martin's future plans include a front hybrid axle swap and some welding classes to improve his skills since he likes to do his own work.
Less Than a Year?
Shane Fisher of Frisco, Colorado, doesn't waste time with his Jeep projects, and this '06 LJ that he's owned for less than a year is proof. This is Shane's fifth and favorite build and it already has a ton of upgrades, including a Currie 4-inch lift and steering along with control arms and track bars by JKS. A rear Detroit Locker and front Eaton Truetrac augment G2 4.88 gears inside the Dana 30 front and Dana 44 rear axles. The T-case is hooked to an Advanced Adapters slip-yoke eliminator and Tom Wood's driveshafts. An AEV rear slider and oil pan guard, belly skidplate kit, and FXD differential guards protect the underside. Shane says his "pick 'em up truck" conversion was accomplished with a GR8Tops bulkhead and some custom downbars, along with a Bestop TJ Halftop, and some of his own custom sewing. Spidertrax spacers help the black steelies fit 35-inch Pro Comp Xtreme M/T tires. Up front there is a narrow bumper with a Smittybilt XRC8 winch and orange Delta spot lamps. A Rock Hard rollcage keeps everyone inside safe, and Bestop half doors allow Shane to enjoy the view while wheeling at spots from the Colorado Rockies to Moab, Utah.
Recovery Red
Ryan Barnes of Junction City, Oregon, has lots of recovery equipment on his '95 ZJ, but from the look of his truck, we guess he's the one pulling Jeepers out of trouble. There is a 5.2L V-8 with a cold air intake and a Flowmaster exhaust, an ARB bumper, and a Warn M8000 winch with MasterPull synthetic line. Visibility is improved with 4-inch LED spots and a Total Metal Innovations rack with a 30-inch LED light bar. The ZJ has a 5-inch suspension lift thanks to Iron Rock Off Road front long-arms and a Rubicon Express Super-Flex system in the rear. Track bars and a dropped pitman arm by Iron Rock Off Road are used with JKS Bar Pin Eliminators that get rid of annoying thumps coming from the shocks. The Jeep has 4.10 gears and a Powertrax Lock-Right locker in the rear differential, and it rides on 15-inch Total Metal Innovations beadlock wheels with 33x12.50R15 BFG MTs.
4 Years In
Derek Frable of Walnutport, Pennsylvania, is into the fourth year of his '02 WJ build, and it's almost complete. So far, the project has a 4.0L engine with a Fastman throttle body bored out to 62mm, and the factory injectors have been replaced with units from a Ford Mustang. The Jeep has a Rusty's Off-Road Advanced 4½-inch suspension with Clayton coil springs and Bilstein 5160 remote-reservoir shocks. The WJ has custom driveshafts from Carolina Driveline and rides on top of 17.5x8.5-inch AEV Pintler beadlocks with 31-inch Goodyear DuraTrac tires. A Matrix brush guard, front belly protection, rear bumper guard, and rock sliders were designed and custom-built by the crew at 4xGuard. For visibility, the Grand Cherokee has Halo HID headlamps and Euro-style LED tail lamps along with six KC HiLites. The roof-mounted light bar and spare tire carrier are by Kevin's Off-Road and allow for the mounting of a Hi-Lift jack along with a pick/shovel.
Picture Perfect
Josh Moyer sent us this scenic photo of his '00 TJ at Hard Rock off-road park in Ocala, Florida. The Jeep gets plenty of motivation from a 5.9L V-8 Magnum engine swap that spins 35x12.50R15 BFGoodrich KM2 tires. The fenders have been removed to make room for the big tires, along with a 3-inch suspension lift and a 11⁄2-inch body lift for clearance. A custom-built stinger bumper that's fitted with tow rings and a Smittybilt 10,000-pound winch protects the front end.
Christopher Mattingly of Las Vegas, Nevada, is so addicted to his Wrangler project that he worked 60 hours a week for three months to pay for his habit. He's done all of the work himself including adding a Currie 4-inch suspension lift with adjustable control arms and track bars, Fox Racing remote-reservoir shocks, Currie Currectlync heavy-duty steering, a Currie Antirock front sway bar, a Savvy body lift, a motor mount lift, and modular aluminum skidplates. The Jeep also has a TeraLow 4:1 low range kit, a G2 Dana 44 front axle with a Detroit Locker, a G2 Dana 44 35-spline large housing rear axle with an ARB Air Locker and 4.56 gears, and Drake Off-Road headers that lead to a Magnaflow muffler. The General Grabber 33x10.50R15 tires have red letters to match the Jeep along with the Oracle Halo headlamp rings. Those, along with Smittybilt bumpers and side armor, a Gobi Ranger roof rack with a ladder, and metallic grille slats help Christopher achieve the "sick" look he desired. You can see his Jeep in action on the Rubicon Trail by going to YouTube and looking up "ThePowrJunkey."
Pushed Around
Robert Coombs of Northport, Maine, got pushed around by his brother-in-law, but he didn't mind because it was the only way his '99 TJ was getting home. While wheeling in Acadia National Park, his transmission blew, leaving Robert with only Fourth gear, but his in-law used a Super Duty to push the Jeep up every hill during a 65-mile trek back home. Along with the inevitable transmission rebuild, the 4.0L-equipped TJ has been built for summer driving and light trail use with a Zone Off Road 3-inch suspension lift in the front and rear and Runway Enduro 31-inch Mud Terrain tires.
U.S. Army Specialist Daniel McKenzie of Fort Benning, Georgia, found out why he got such a good deal on his Jeep when he discovered the front driver-side frame rail was broken. Instead of giving up on the '90 YJ four-cylinder with 31-inch tires, Daniel bought a new frame section for less than 200 bucks. Using the help of an NCO with welding skills and some buddies, the Jeep was taken apart down to the frame, the broken rail was cut, the new piece was cut to fit, and it was welded into place. The Jeep was back on the road in just nine hours, and Daniel says that he's confident the repair will last a long time as he builds up his project.
Damien Lee of Auburn, California, told us, "I saved every bit of cash I could get my hands on" from the ages of 18-20 to build this '94 YJ seen peeking over the top of a boulder. Now, Damien says off-roading has become a "way of life" for him. Under the hood is 4.0L engine backed by the AX-15 transmission and an NP231 transfer case with a 4:1 low range kit. The front and rear have a 21⁄2-inch Rubicon Express Extreme Duty lift with a military wrap spring-over-axle setup. The front axle is a Dana 44 with an ARB Air Locker, and the rear axle is a Dana 60 with disc brakes, 4.88 gears, and an ARB Air Locker. Making contact with the ground are 18-inch Helo Maxx 8s in black with super-wide 38x15.50R18 Toyo Open Country MT tires.
Slow Build
You could say that Kenn Hanner of Clovis, California, is being methodical with the slow transformation he's performing on his '13 JK Freedom Edition. The build started with only 1,000 miles on the odometer. Kenn says the 3.6L Pentastar engine and automatic transmission combo returned an impressive 20.9 mpg during these test runs, and that was with the air conditioning running. Rock rails have already been added to the Commando-green project, and the next upgrades planned are a locking rear differential, 33-inch tires on 17-inch wheels with less backspacing than the stock, and steel bumpers front and rear.
First and Last
Robert Dee of Campbell, California, says this '94 YJ is the first vehicle he ever bought, and it's the only one he will never sell. It's no wonder after seeing how much work he's put into it during his first nine years of ownership. The 4.0L engine has a Firepower ignition, a 140-amp alternator from a ZJ, a WJ intake manifold, a Borla header, and an oversized tranny cooler for the power steering. The T-case is an NP231 with a JB Conversions Super Short slip-yoke eliminator with a TJ shift selector. The suspension is now spring-over with parts by Rubicon Express and Bilstein 5150 shocks. The front is the YJ Dana 30 with TJ axleshafts, TeraFlex high-steer system, and Aussie locker, while the rear is an XJ Dana 44 with an ARB and 4.11 gears to match the front. Robert has also installed plenty of junkyard parts along with a winch and 35-inch MT/R tires.

Lyric Abstraction
Master printmaker, born in Marseille, he learned the techniques of classic engraving in 1936 in Paris. In 1960, he added to the classic processes the technique of etching with carborundum invented by his friend Henri Goetz. In the years 1969-73 Papart taught printmaking at the University of Paris VIII-Vincennes. He continues to make his own plates and to supervise the hand printing of his prints.
One of the most intriguing intellectual concepts which Papart achieves in his two-dimensional, semi-cubistic style is a "window" through which the viewer senses the past or future, or even another time or place. This development has become more pronounced since 1981 and in recent years it is seen even more graphically in such works as Circle, Indian Summer, Dreams, and Silent Woman. It has been said the Papart does not "paint," he "composes." His compositions come together in a symphony of line, shape and color.
Working in a Cubist style, he depicts circus scenes, flirting couples, soaring birds and similar cheerful subjects with flat, overlapping planes of contrasting colors and textures which suggest many levels of depth. Often he ...(PLease Login to see the complete biography.)

Statement regarding the County's General Fund Balance
Printer-Friendly Version
County of Dukes County
County Administration Building
P.O. Box 190, Edgartown, MA 02539
April 8, 2013
Memorandum to the Island Boards of Selectmen
Regarding the County General Fund Balance
The County Commissioners and the County Advisory Board have previously agreed that the County should have at least $100,000 in the unreserved general fund balance as a reserve for unforeseen expenses.
Since FY08 when General Fund - Fund Balance (G/F F/B) was a negative $197. The County has worked to build the reserves. The FY09 budget was already approved when the audit report was received, so there was not much that could have been done that year.
The fund balance at the end of FY09 was $4,312. FY10's budget was very conservative with the goal of increasing reserves. At the end of FY10 the audit showed the revenues exceeded the projections by $72,443 and the departments did not expend their total budgeted amounts by about $39,000. The total G/F F/B was $165,354 at that point. For FY11 the same approach was taken when budgeting and at the end of the year the G/F F/B was increased by another $106,882 for a total of $272,236.
In FY10 & FY11 there were some one time revenue additions that were unforeseen and not budgeted, such as $10K from a State grant, $15K Medical Part D reimbursement, $22K additional rental income etc.
In September of 2012 when the FY11 exit conference was held with the auditors, they recognized that we had nearly $300,000 in G/F F/B and recommended that we start to fund the unfunded Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB). There was also discussion at that time about moving some of the funds into a capital reserve fund for future use on projects.
The County recently received preliminary results from the FY12 audit showing another substantial increase in the G/F F/B by $300,490 raising the fund balance to $572,726. This was due to several factors, the majority of which were the result of one-time unanticipated circumstances. Below I have highlighted the main contributing categories:
$209,300 in additional revenues
$68,760 was one time, unbudgeted and therefore unexpected revenues:
Medicare Part B reimbursement from the Cape Cod Municipal Health Group of $22,265. (All island towns received this reimbursement in FY11 & FY12.)
The final accounting of the Sheriff's Department's transfer to the state resulted in an increase of $52,142 for the G/F F/B.
Insurance refunds $5,193
Income realized from new county projects $9,684
were revenues in excess of projections
Registry of Dees fees $19,085
County alarm fees $14,644
Cape and Island License Plates $10,295
Airport allocation of overhead of $42,002
Deeds Excise by $20,933
Retiree health reimbursement $5,385
$91,461 – since departments did not spend to budgeted limits
The Sheriff's Maintenance of Effort in FY2012 was allocated at $456,870 instead of the projected $501,703 leaving a budget balance of $33,878
Savings on the Courthouse and Administration Building budgets due to some projects not being implemented - $24,177
Savings at the County Commissioners Dept. due to the departure of the County Manager $7,015
Retiree benefits cost was $5,570 lower than budgeted
Savings in the Veteran's Department $7,713
Since the County had achieved savings in the amount of $572,726 the County Commissioners and the County Advisory Board agreed to distribute $150,000 to the towns from the G/F F/B. The allocation was based on the county tax assessment formula (equalized valuation percentage). The checks were distributed to the towns last week. See below the breakdown.

A woman has been sentenced to life in prison after she "forced" a 13-year-old boy to touch her breast.
The 34-year-old Nevada woman was accused of kissing a friend's 13-year-old son in 2008, asking him if he would have sex with her and placing his hand on her breast. She denied the charges, saying she was drunk and had not forced him to touch her.
The boy is said to be undergoing therapy after this ordeal.
In a week-long trial, she was convicted of lewdness with a minor under 14 and ordered to serve a life sentence, based on Nevada's mandatory minimum sentence for this class of crime. She will be eligible for parole in 10 years.
Jurors were not allowed to know that she faced a life sentence if convicted.
Even the judge appeared aghast at the sentence he handed down, saying he had no choice to impose a life sentence but was not sure why the prosecution was insisting on charges under laws which would attract the minimum sentencing requirement (they could have charged her with a lesser offence).
The district attorney who prosecuted her defends the sentence, saying she was "convicted of precisely of what she did" and that the sentence is simply in line with state mandatory minimum sentences.
There is some dispute over why she was not offered a plea bargain.
The defence claims the district attorney did not offer a plea bargain, whilst the district attorney claims she did not want to negotiate a plea bargain as she felt being forced to register as a sex offender would ruin the rest of her life more surely than a conviction would.
However, even if released on parole she would now have to register as a sex offender.
The defence asserts that this extreme sentence constitutes cruel and unusual punishment:
"This is cruel and unusual punishment. She put his hand on her boob while she was wearing a bra, now she's getting life."
The defence notes that "she is getting a greater penalty for having a boy touch her breast than if she killed him."

IE For Linux?
Frankly, I disagree. Even when running Windows, I avoid using IE. I much more prefer running the Firefox browser. It's more secure and much more customizable then IE (IMHO).
There may be the odd few times when a Linux user may need Internet Explorer. My experience has been that, once in a blue moon, a web site is specifically designed to be used primarily with IE. For these times, I have two options which have been discussed in this blog. They are worth reviewing.
First, a Linux user can easily install Wine and then install IE. Wine allows for certain Windows program to be installed directly in Linux . And these programs don't rely on needing Windows. Wine installs and runs the program in Linux as if it were being run in Windows natively. You can also go with the commercial version of Wine known as Crossover by Codeweavers. This is what I run and it's a brilliant product! Crossover is offered at an affordable price and allows me to run a few Windows programs in Linux that I sometimes need (MSMoney, MSWorks, IE). The above screen shot is Internet Explorer running Linux through the help of Crossover. I highly recommend Crossover.
Secondly, a Linux user can install a virtual machine software package for free from their distro's repository. I run Virtualbox. Virtualbox enables me to install Windows in a virtual environment (see screen shot at left). I can then run the entire Windows operating system, including Internet Explorer and any other software program I chose to install. And I've found that Windows actually runs faster in this virtual environment!
So there you have it. Use Firefox (in Linux or Windows) and get Crossover or virtualbox for running Specific Windows programs Like IE. Why wait for Microsoft to develop IE for Linux? You can have it in Linux now if you really need it. But you'll soon discover Firefox to be a better browser.).
Get Linux!
5 comments:
If you encounter a site which checks your browser to be IE, you can use KDE's konqueror and simply set it to send a faked browser identification so the site thinks you run IE. No need to really run IE.

I completely forgot about that option! Thanks for pointing it out! It's worth a blog post itself!:)

What about web development? I know I would love it if I didn't have to pay for a windows license and then have to load up a vm every time I want to check if IE will render a page the way I want it. I think it would be a great tool, as long as it used the same rendering engine and didn't add more bugs you have to account for (like IE for Mac).
Other than that, I can't think of a use for it though.
- February 12, 2009 at 10:13 PM
Thanks for the mention of CrossOver--we appreciate it!
Best Wishes,

My pleasure.:) Crossover is one of the big reasons why I moved to Linux. I was able to keep some key programs running. CO continues to be one of the reasons why I am able to stay with Linux.

The coats of arms in the bottom corners of this picture are of the Venetian families of Donata and Michiel. The Venetian state archives contain the register of marriages by noble families and this records that in 1526 the marriage took place between Giovanni Michiel and Andrea Donata. It is possible that this painting connects in some way with the joining of these two families and may have actually been painted to celebrate the wedding union.
Both families were extremely prominent in Venice. The Michiels had provided two outstanding Doges (rulers of Venice) in the twelfth century and the Donata's provided three, one in 1546 and two later in the seventeenth century. In addition to this members of both families filled numerous high state offices at home and abroad.
There are seven remaining palaces in Venice connected with the families and there are in the archives a further three marriages recorded between them, in 1450, 1476 and 1690. Giovanni Michiel later became Procurator of Venice and was a Venetian ambassador. Among his dispatches is his graphic account of the proxy marriage in 1548 between Philip II of Spain and Elizabeth of France.
Marco Palmezzano (1469 -1539) was the most important contemporary artist working in Forli - a city south of Venice situated within the papal territories. He bought a house in Venice in 1495 possibly because residency might better help him with obtaining commissions. He adapted his painting style to that of Giovanni Bellini who was Venice's leading artist at the time. Bellini's influence can be seen in this picture, particularly in the pose of the seated virgin (compare it with another Venetian Madonna and child picture displayed nearby by Vicenza Catena, another artist who was also much influenced by Bellini).
This type of picture showing the virgin and child with saints is called a 'sacra conversatione'- literally sacred conversation or meeting.Holy figures from widely different historical epochs come together in the timeless sacred space of the picture.Each saint is present because it had some particular significance for the owners of the picture.
From left to right they are, 'St Francis of Assisi' - shown displaying the 'stigmata', wounds that miraculously appeared on his feet and hands redolent of those inflicted on Christ at the crucifixion. He carries a book that is possibly intended to be the Franciscan monastic rule.
'St Matthew' who was one of the four evangelists is shown holding a copy of his gospel and gesturing as though listening out attentively for the word of God.
'St Louis of Toulouse', who gave up his claim to the Kingdom of Naples in order to pursue a religious life also carries a volume, the contents of which are not clear, and he is dressed as Bishop of Lyon. The rejected gold crown of the kingdom of Naples is lying on the ground in front of him.
'St. John the Evangelist' is shown with pen poised to write his gospel, which he clasps in his other hand. 'St Anthony, Abbot', who is usually regarded as having founded monasticism carries a beggar's bell and staff and is reading from a devotional book.
'St Peter, Martyr', a famous Dominican monk who was murdered is shown with the knives that were used to kill him and carrying a book possibly indicative of Dominican religious rule.
We cannot be sure what significance these saints had for the Michiel or Donata families. The balancing at the outer edges of St Francis and St Peter Martyr may reflect the dominant place that the two major religious orders of Franciscans and Dominicans had in Venice, evident in say the two great churches of The Frari and San Giovanni e Paolo.
There were also important lay religious fraternities connected with these saints that Giovanni Michiel might have belonged to. St John is possibly there as the name saint of Giovanni Michiel. The pose of the two evangelists is broadly similar, they may be intended to be read as a pair even though they are not symmetrically placed. Similarly St Louis and St Anthony may be seen as a pair of distinctly unworldly saints.
Other symbols include what appear to be poppy petals strewn in the foreground. They are symbolic of death and may refer to the overcoming of death by Christ. The two trees growing out of the wall beside Mary - possibly meadow rue, a sign of grace, and a fig - indicate life transcending death, an allusion to Christ's death and resurrection.
The picture is a poplar panel made up of seven narrow vertical planks. The paint is tempera. It is likely that it has been cut down in size at some point. One might normally expect to see a fabric canopy of some sort over Mary. The bottom edge may also be trimmed.
Overall though the picture remains much the same width as when first painted. Its proportions suggest that it is an altarpiece rather than simply a devotional picture. It seems likely that it is complete in this one piece. It was originally framed differently.
The original setting is a matter of conjecture - a small chapel either in a church or house might have accommodated it. All figures have cast shadows towards the right and this suggests that it may have been made specifically for a location that was lit by a window on the left.
The picture is first recorded in England in a sale catalogue of 1812. It entered the Liverpool Royal Institution between 1836 and 1843. Unlike many of the early pictures in the Walker's collection it did not belong to William Roscoe. One may speculate that, like the more famous picture by Titian currently on loan to the Gallery, it was a casualty of the severe disruption to Venetian life following Napoleon's invasion of the city.
