Fox News has a super-exciting article today: "Exclusive: NASA Scientist claims Evidence of Alien Life on Meteorite." OMG, aliens exist! Except this NASA scientist has been claiming to have evidence of alien life on meteorites for years.
NASA scientist Richard B. Hoover made the exciting discovery (a photo of which is reproduced above):
He gave FoxNews.com early access to the out-of-this-world research, published late Friday evening in the March edition of the Journal of Cosmology. In it, Hoover describes the latest findings in his study of an extremely rare class of meteorites, called CI1 carbonaceous chondrites — only nine such meteorites are known to exist on Earth.
Though it may be hard to swallow, Hoover is convinced that his findings reveal fossil evidence of bacterial life within such meteorites, the remains of living organisms from their parent bodies — comets, moons and other astral bodies. By extension, the findings suggest we are not alone in the universe, he said.
The article is now the most-read on Foxnews.com.
As much as we love aliens, this is not news. Hoover has been claiming to have fossil evidence of alien bacterial life for years. Here he is in 2004, on some website called panspermia.org, with the exact same 'discovery' reported in today's Fox News article:
Richard B. Hoover of NASA/NSSTC announced today the discovery of evidence for the detection of a fossilized cyanobacterial mat in a freshly fractured, interior surface of the Orgueil carbonaceous meteorite.
And in 2007 presented a paper at a conference for the Society of Professional Instrumentation Engineers titled "Microfossils of cyanobacteria in carbonaceous meteroites"—same findings, same meteorite. Just last month in a press release by the Journal of Cosmology, Dr. Hoover crowed that "We have found fossil evidence of microbes in meteors which are older than this solar system."
What about the "Journal of Cosmology", where this supposedly groundbreaking paper is published? No matter the fancy affiliations of its editorial staff, it's a pretty janky operation. The website looks like it was designed by a New Age music retailer in 1997, and the "about us" page brags about how many hits it gets. ("The Journal of Cosmology now receives over 500,000 Hits per month, which makes the Journal of Cosmology among the top online science journals.") Why couldn't Hoover place this amazing discovery in a more prestigious journal? In 1996, when NASA scientists claimed to have found evidence of bacteria life on a meteorite from Mars, their paper appeared in the most prestigious science journal of all: Science. (The discovery was later debunked.)
So, we're calling bullshit on Richard Hoover's discovery, and Fox News' 'exclusive'. Maybe Hoover really has found life (probably not). But it's not news, and it's far, far from certain.
Update: A University of Minnesota biology professor offers his take: "Did scientists discover bacteria in meteorites? No. No, no, no. No no no no no no no no. No, no. No... this work is garbage. I'm surprised anyone is granting it any credibility at all."

Goodbye, Kathy: A behind-the-scenes juggernautEDITORIAL
September 23. 2017 5:35PM
Last week, we said goodbye to a trailblazer of New Hampshire politics, whose contributions to our state were not known to most of the public.
Kathy Schneiderat passed away in June at the age of 76. St. Catherine of Siena Church in Manchester held a memorial Mass for Schneiderat on Wednesday. Many of her colleagues joined her husband, Gunter, and her family to share stories of Schneiderat's remarkable career that spanned local, state and federal government.
Schneiderat entered politics in 1985, when she joined two others as the first women ever elected to Manchester's Board of Aldermen. She served with three mayors; Bob Shaw, Emile Beaulieu, and Ray Wieczorek.
Wieczorek recounted how Schneiderat was so well liked by the entire board that he soon learned to use her as an intermediary to strike deals with quarreling aldermen.
Schneiderat also served as a state representative, but she surely made her biggest impact behind the scenes, serving on the staffs of Gov. John Sununu, Congressman Bill Zeliff, and John E. Sununu, both in the U.S. House and Senate.
Schneiderat specialized in constituent services, helping thousands of Granite Staters navigate the maze of government bureaucracy. There is no way to know how many veterans she helped receive their due benefits, or how many immigrants she assisted in complying with immigration law on the path to American citizenship.
Both Wieczorek and Sen. Sununu noted that Schneiderat's empathy, in addition to her vast knowledge and experience, made her such an effective voice for their constituents.
Kathy Schneiderat was a role model for government at its best. She will be missed.

Evil Dead stars were exposed to 'real danger'
- Bang Showbiz
- 12 August 2013
'Evil Dead' director Fede Alvarez has revealed he exposed stars Jane Levy and Shiloh Fernandez to "real danger" to capture natural responses in the horror flick
'Evil Dead' star Jane Levy was exposed to "real danger" while shooting the film.
Director Fede Alvarez - who helmed the recent reboot of Sam Raimi's classic horror flick - has revealed he wanted to capture the actress' real fear in the movie and says many of the scenes were incredibly challenging for the leading lady.
He explained: "There was a lot [of tough scenes for Jane]. Every scene was unique and felt real, and we're seeing Jane's response. We didn't use CGI. Jane was exposed to real things and real dangers.
"There's a scene towards the end of the film where she's behind the shelves and her evil self is piercing through it with a machete and cutting her knee and arm. That was a narrow space and that machete was real and sharp. That was a scary environment."
The horror remake was filmed in a forest in Auckland, New Zealand, which is said to be spooked by the spirits of fallen warriors, and it seems there were some scary moments on set.
Alvarez exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I told [actor] Shiloh [Fernandez] to stand in this forest in the dark for 15 minutes before shooting a scene and he came back and he was pale and white and terrified. He never told me what happened."
'Evil Dead' is available on DVD and Blu-ray now.

With the construction of the new middle school came a question about school colors for the school.
With the construction of the new middle school came a question about school colors for the school.
USD 490 staff put out a survey to patrons to get their thoughts on if the middle school colors should be changed to match those of the high school, red and black.
There were 529 respondents to the week-long survey, with 62.7 percent in favor of changing the middle school's colors from gold and black to red and black.
"The high school students were the only category that was negative that the nos outweighed the yeses," said Heath Elliott, EMS assistant principal and athletic director. "In all other categories combined 71.5 percent said yes."
After the survey, administration met with the Extra Curricular Review Committee to get their recommendation.
They agreed the colors should be the same.
There were several benefits associated with this decision.
One was it was more cost effective for parents so they wouldn't have to buy two sets of outfits for middle school and high school students.
It also would be more cost effective for the district and would provide for more community pride, unifying the seventh through 12th grade athletics.
Some of the challenges voiced with the responses to the survey included: "this is the way it's always been," the up front cost to change uniforms and the high school wanting to have their own identity.
In addition, the EMS and EHS administration are in support of aligning the school colors.
The Board of Education approved the change Monday evening and now they will begin to make the transition. Middle School uniforms will be changed for the new colors as they come up in rotation for replacement, as long as the league says it is OK to phase in the new colors. Uniforms are on a five-year cycle, with a couple of rotations up now.
In other business Monday, the board:
• heard a report on the Kansas Association of School Boards convention from Board Members Leon Leachman and Bernie Spradling. Most of the things they heard talked about involved the new core curriculum. There also was talk about the new efficiency requirements at which the state is looking. Leachman said some of the people on that committee were amazed at the efficiency things already being done.
• heard about the upcoming election. There are three board seats up for re-election, including those filled by Spradling, Leachman and Vicki Coash. If there are more than nine who file for those three positions a primary will be held on Feb. 26, otherwise they will all be on the ballot in April.
• heard a report on the district financial audit. Norm Wilks, director of fiscal services, said they will always have deficiencies. One reason for that is they don't have enough staff to segregate the duties enough. Overall, he said all of the issues have been taken care of or will never be taken care of because they don't have enough personnel.
• approved the final change order for Skelly Elementary. They are able to reduce the contract price by $146,859. Because that was part of the bond issue, that money has to stay within those projects, so it will be moved to the middle school project.

Suffolk theatre students had the chance to get up close and personal with some of the best in the business when the Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas (LMDA) Conference came to Boston from June 26-29.
Literary managers and dramaturgs are the resident researchers on a production, serving an important role in the theatre, opera, and film worlds. According to the LMDA, "dramaturgs contextualize the world of a play [and] establish connections among the text, actors, and audience."
"We were so pleased to welcome LMDA to Boston and to the Modern Theatre at Suffolk University," said Marilyn Plotkins, the chair of the Theatre Department. "This conference is a wonderful opportunity to expose our most promising students to national figures and important voices in the field of literary management – an essential part of every major regional theatre today."
The field of dramaturgy is one that has been gaining popularity among Suffolk University Theatre students, with many taking on dramaturgy internships with partner organizations at the Modern Theatre. Several Suffolk students attended the conference alongside their professors.
The Keynote Address took place at Suffolk University's Modern Theatre on June 26. Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic Wesley Morris delivered a keynote address on how the power of the observer, the witness, and the critical voice can shape the future of our culture. Morris is a staff writer at Grantland and was previously a film critic at The Boston Globe.
"We were thrilled to bring together great minds from around the world to help build the future of our field," said LMDA President Vicki Stroich. "The ideas and conversations that happened in Boston will trigger great work around the world."

Organizers of an educational initiative to raise public awareness about a farm-generated alternative fuel source believe it not only would contribute to a cleaner environment but could provide a major boost to Alabama's farming economy.
That, at least, is the hope of Regional Extension Agent Mark Hall and Huntsville Fleet Manager Celina Stone who received a grant of $10,000 from the Alabama Soybean Commission to fund the initiative. The effort, titled "From Farm to Fleet," will educate municipal leaders throughout Alabama about the environmental benefits of using biodiesel in their transportation fleets.
Huntsville Mayor Loretta Spencer and Jeff Webster, farmer and president of the Alabama Corn and Soybean Association, joined Hall and Stone to formally kick off the effort recently at Big Springs Park across from the Hilton.
Biodiesel is the name of a clean-burning alternative fuel produced from domestic renewable sources such as soybean and corn oils and chicken fat.
"In addition to the environmental benefits and reduced dependence on foreign oil, biodiesel has the potential of adding millions of dollars to Alabama's farm economy by increasing demand for oils from common Alabama products, such as soybeans, corn, canola and chicken fat," says Hall, adding that the first successful attempt involved peanut oil.
While it contains no petroleum, biodiesel can be blended at any level with petroleum level to create a biodiesel blend. Combinations of 20-percent biodiesel and 80-percent diesel require no engine modification.
Among the farmers cheering the loudest for biodiesel are the nation's soybean producers. That's because the fuel has the potential for creating new markets for soybean oil, a product that typically is hampered by low prices year after year due to surplus stocks. Research has shown that the manufacture of 100 million gallons of biodiesel fuel would require 750 million pounds of soybean oil.
Not only is biodiesel simple to use but is non-toxic, essentially free of sulfur and aromatics. It is also biodegradeable, according to Webster.
Webster, who burns biodiesel in his own engines, says he has been pleased with the performance.
"You get a far quieter, smoother-running engine without any loss in performance," Webster says. "It burns cleaner than 100-percent diesel and is also the safest fuel to handle and store."
It's also a much cleaner product from the standpoint of air quality, he said.
Biodiesel is the only alternative fuel to have fully completed the health effects testing requirements of the Clean Air Act, according to information provided by the National Biodiesel Board. The use of biodiesel in conventional diesel engines results in substantial reductions of unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and particulate matter compared with conventional diesel fuel.
Interest in the product is growing.
Production of the alternative fuel rose 66 percent in 2003 and biodiesel fuel stations already are "sprouting like weeds across America," writes Wired News reporter John Gartner.

Finger Physics: Thumb Wars Review
Finger Physics: Thumb Wars is, at its core, an expansion to PressOK Entertainment's original Finger Physics title. However, for one very big reason it called for its own separate app: country-based leaderboards. This seems minor on paper, but it actually plays a big part in the game and makes it worth fighting for.
The game is broken up into two modes: Wonder Glades and Constructor. Wonder Glades is a twist on tower destruction games like Saving Private Sheep, in which you tap and move blocks to get a specified item to hit a target below. In this case, you need to get the circled star to hit the spinning orange circle. As you progress through the levels, new kinds of obstacles are unlocked.
Constructor is Finger Physics' equivalent of Topple. The difference is that instead of needing to reach a certain height with your shapes, you must stack them so they stay upright for three seconds. This can get tricky, especially when you start dealing with round shapes.
Birds should look out for falling objects.
In order to truly complete a level in the game's terms, you must complete it twice, touching all the stars with a building block or the blue star circle each time. We enjoyed the challenge of doing it once, but having to repeat puzzles isn't exactly what we'd call exciting.
All of this is good, but the icing on the cake is how PressOK decided to handle the online leaderboards. They're reset on a weekly basis, so you can check how you stack up against the week's strongest competitors. The best part, however, is that it also compiles your score into weekly world champions and, if you live in the US, weekly national champions lists. It'll be interesting to see which countries and states have the best Finger Physics players.
This version of Finger Physics retains the same graphical style as before. It looks like a poster board, with colorful, hand-drawn cutouts taped all over it.
If you are interested in trying the game, first check out the freemium version of Finger Physics. If you enjoy that, certainly consider this game. Although it already has a total of 65 puzzles, the developers are promising more for free in a future update. This should keep the unique leaderboards alive and well. Now go fight for your country, soldiers!

It's an awful rainy, drafty, cold Sunday morning here in Mauritius. In the workds of Ned Stark, I too have to say that "winter is coming" (and FYI, Game of Thrones returns today! Yippee!)
That being said, I'm looking forward to SSS today, because this will be the first time I'll be sharing an excerpt from my upcoming May 7 release, and Book 2 of my Corpus Brides espionage series, with anyone else aside from my trusted CPs and my editor at Noble. Totally chuffed!
So what's Before The Morning about? You can take a peek at the Coming Soon page I just uploaded on the site, but in a nutshell, it's the prequel to my first release, Walking The Edge. The slant is more in-depth about the clandestine Corpus agency... and at the heart of this maelstrom of mutiny that is about to hit the ranks of this illustrious organization, stands a woman who has been a pillar of their operations, and who is about to slip... all in the name of love...
These are the opening lines from the book, and they introduce you to Ash Gilfoy, the hero, and a former cop turned ambulance worker. Yes, that's him in the picture. *grin* (Working this story was such a pain, I can assure you, to picture Josh Holloway as Ash... *wink*).
I'd love to hear your thoughts! Will be making the rounds on the list as my crappy connection allows me, and I look forward to checking superb words from the likes of Siobhan Muir, Jessica E. Subject, Lorraine Paton, Sandra Bunino, Christine Warner, and Jennifer Lowery, among many others.
Hope you're having a brighter Sunday than I am, peeps!
From Mauritius with love,

Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders
Laryngitis Need a faster recovery
I developed a upper respiratory cold or flu 2-3 days ago, resulting in partial laryngitis. I`ve conserved my voice as much as possible, but in less than 2 days I need to give three consecutive 8 hour lectures (24 hours total). Students are coming from as far as Asia, Oregon, Texas, etc. and no one else can take my place. What pro-active measures can I take now to improve my recovery so my laryngitis doesn`t return from the stress of lecturing?
Maintaining good hydration would be helpful, ie drinking lots of fluids, and a brief course of systemic steroids, e.g a medrol pack, would help get through the demanding teaching schedule.

This week's regulatory actions:
CFTC orders FXDirectDealer to pay $2.74 million
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued an order filing and simultaneously settling charges that, from at least Dec. 10, 2009, until June 2011, FXDirectDealer, LLC (FXDD), a CFTC-registered retail foreign exchange dealer and futures commission merchant headquartered in New York, violated its supervision obligations by employing a trading system that gave FXDD pricing advantages over and harmed thousands of its retail customers.The CFTC requires FXDD to make full restitution of $1,828,261 to FXDD's current and former customers that were harmed by its violation and imposes a $914,131 civil monetary penalty against FXDD.
According to the CFTC, FXDD solicits customers to open trading accounts and to buy or sell foreign currency with FXDD taking the other side of the transaction. FXDD streams forex price quotes for particular currency pairs to its customers through its electronic trading platforms. The price quotes offered by FXDD — measured in "pips" — often change, or "slip," between the time the customer clicks on a price showing on the computer and the time FXDD fills the customer's order. If the price slips, FXDD's system employs slippage parameters that determine whether FXDD fills or rejects a customer order at the original price clicked by the customer, the Order finds.
According to the CFTC, FXDD used asymmetrical slippage parameters on its principal trading platform, meaning that the system favored FXDD over its customers in slippage situations. Based on these parameters, FXDD rejected a customer's order when the price slipped more than two pips in the customer's favor (and instead re-quoted the customer the new, less favorable price), but filled a customer's order at the original price if the price slipped in FXDD's favor by more than two pips. As a result, FXDD benefited from slippage of more than two pips in its favor between order placement and order execution, but did not allow its customers to benefit from similar price changes in their favor. The CFTC further finds that had FXDD employed an adequate supervisory system and diligently supervised its personnel, FXDD would have discovered these problems with the integrity of trades on the platform and would have had the opportunity to correct them before more than 24,900 customer accounts were deprived of $1,828,261.
Separately, FXDD also is paying a penalty of $914,131 to the National Futures Association (NFA) to settle the NFA's charges arising from the same misconduct. In addition, the CFTC order requires FXDD to cooperate with the NFA in connection with the NFA's review of FXDD's compliance with its restitution obligation.
CFTC order Foremost Trading to pay $400,000
The CFTC issued filed and settled charges against Foremost Trading LLC a registered Introducing broker based in Geneva, Ill., for failing to supervise diligently the handling of certain trading accounts by its officers, employees, and agents. The CFTC requires Foremost to pay a $400,000 civil monetary penalty and cease and desist from violating CFTC regulation 166.3, as charged.

I am sure that all of you are still feeling a bit down from the weekend's match against Chivas USA. For me, it was a tough game to swallow. Being up 1-0 at home is always a game that you should win. However, it's still not time to panic. Despite the result, there were a number of positives that Quakes fans should take away from last weekend's affair:
1. Jon Busch - Buschy made some amazing saves that kept the game close. This season he has been a veritable brick wall making save after save that would find the back of the net against many other keepers.
2. Chris Wondolowski - Wondo getting back on the scoreboard is what this club needs. It's fine to have multiple goal scorers, but there's also nothing wrong with having a defending Golden Boot winner to drop the hammer in the clutch. Wondo was scoreless in three games since posting a brace against FC Dallas, he was back to his old ways of being in the right spot at the right time against Chivas last weekend.
3. Steven Lenhart - Having Lenhart make his debut for the club is crucial. He brings something to the club that the Quakes have struggled with since returning to MLS in 2008. Lenny is a striker who can hold the ball up and bring other players into the game. As he gains fitness and sees more time, I think there could be more quality chances being created in the attacking third.
4. Anthony Ampaipitakwong - I though Ampai came into the game and made a difference. He brought the energy that many of the other players were lacking and provided a spark that I wish more of the players would have picked up on. He could be in line for more time going forward.
The season is still young and if we can build from these bright spots, there's nothing to worry about just yet. I'm hoping for some points this weekend in Philadelphia.
- @bobbyburling: (Bobby Burling) - Messi just went complete video game style on his second. #wowzers (Bobby, I know you wouldn't have let him dribble through the box like that, woud you? Ridiculous goal!)
- @ChrisWondo (Chris Wondolowski) - Well done sharks!!! Love it anytime anyone beats L.A. (I don't think any Quakes fans can disagree with that statement)
- @AnthonyAmpai (Anthony Ampaipitakwong) - Touch down in Philly! Cowboys have a history of doing work here @zvalentin20 haha twitpic.com/4qp3pq (The Earthquakes do too, young Ampai. Who could forget Arturo Alvarez's 90th-minute game winner last year? Let's hope for a similar result this time around!)

A pledge from the campaign to
This pledge closed over 4 years ago
The U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate have introduced legislation that will help strength the strategic and invaluable partnership between the United States and Israel as turmoil in the region rises. The United States-Israel Strategic Partnership Act of 2013 designates Israel a "major strategic partner" of the United States, which will help the United States maximize the benefits of an already strong and productive partnership with Israel by expanding cooperation in military, trade, energy and homeland security arenas. These increased connections will enhance the thriving partnership between the United States and Israel, and help confront new threats and challenges in the Middle East.
Please pledge your support and take a moment to weigh in with your senators and representatives and encourage them to fully support and co-sponsor the United States-Israel Strategic Partnership Act of 2013.

Please, let that tired lie die! No one is concerned about piracy except big legacy media distributors. Those dinosaurs need to go extinct already and leave the rest of us to get on with life. >.>
Never before has there been a platform that was designed from the ground up to easy to hack. And like it or not, those dinosaurs are the driving force of the industry and not having them on board will kill the OUYA to the general public.
I never said piracy was the reason for the Dreamcast's demise, but it would simply be incorrect to say it did not contribute. Despite the GD-Rom, pirating Dreamcast games is unbelievably easy and it did have a major impact on developers opinions of the Dreamcast.
Easy to hack?. You forgot OpenPandora.
But to get a half decent Pandora, you are looking at the price of a reasonable Laptop. I looked a few weeks ago and the cheapest model was ~€249, but with a major warning about only buying it for underpowered usage, the other two were over €400 and for the ultimate over €660. I'm not even sure it that included VAT, certainly didn't include shipping. Those prices are kind of insane when you see how cheap the Nexus 7 is in comparison. I've no idea if the specs are comparable, but it seems disproportionate. I mainly want to play PS1 and older console games, so I'm honestly better off hacking a PSP 3000 to run homebrew. I already own one, but it was about half the price. The Pandora obviously can run a full desktop Linux, but I've done that in the past (Zaurus and Angstrom on an old HP WINCE, as well as N800/N810) and it's no more useful that owning a tablet and using that for "work".

The seeds of Synergy were planted in 1993, by Kate Fisher, when she set off for Nepal and India with adventure in her eyes. In the midst of her extensive travels in Asia she started buying textiles and clothing that she sold upon her return home. A business was born. Synergy was created in the spirit of adventure and with the vision of being a synergy of both Eastern and Western design influences.
Synergy makes clothing that combines sustainability, with modern yet timeless design. We strive to make clothing that looks good, and is also gentle on the Earth. We predominantly work with organic cotton from India, that is dyed with low impact dyes. Our clothing is hand made in Nepal, according to fair trade practices, verified by our long-term relationships with our manufacturers and our frequent trips to Nepal.
Synergy looks to the world around in its approach to design, taking inspiration from both the natural and urban landscapes, in addition to modern and ancient cultural influences. We specialize in making clothing with touches of graphic details such as hand-stitched applique work and water-based screen prints. It is our goal to make women look and feel good when they wear our clothing, while feeling good about the way it was made. We want our clothing to be easy to wear, flatter a woman's body, and to highlight the woman wearing our clothing.

SAN LEANDRO, Calif. (AP) — The California Highway Patrol says a sneezing fit caused a truck driver to crash into nearly a dozen vehicles at a San Francisco Bay-area auto dealership.
CHP officials say Antonio Zamora of Modesto was driving 30 to 35 mph around 4:40 a.m. Thursday when he experienced the sneezing attack that caused the collision at the used car lot in San Leandro.
Officer Daniel Jacowitz says no one was injured, but 10 cars and trucks were damaged.
Jacowitz says the 42-year-old Zamora wasn't cited, and investigators don't believe drugs or alcohol were involved.

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne with the story of a really cheesy theft of three vintage Volkswagon buses. Now they were valuable - worth $100,000 each. The vintage buses were also bright orange, custom designed to look like loaves of cheese. The Tillamook cheese vans were on a publicity tour when they were stolen from a hotel parking lot in Sacramento. Two men were arrested for stealing the vans after, of course, they were spotted in a storage locker. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

ASUS HD 7970 DirectCU II Review
By ccokeman -
HD 7970 3GB DirectCU II Testing:
Mafia II is a third-person shooter that puts you into the shoes of a poor, Sicilian immigrant, Vito Scarletta. Vito has just returned home from serving overseas in the liberation of fascist Italy, to avoiding his jail sentence, to finding his family in debt. The debt must be repaid by the end of the week, and his childhood friend, Joe Barbaro, conveniently happens to have questionable connections that he assures will help Vito clear the debt by that time. As such, Vito is sucked into a world of quick cash. Released in North America for PC in August of 2010, the game was developed by 2K Czech, published by 2K, and uses the Illusion 1.3 game engine.

- 2. You must have met in person within the past two years or be married.
- 3. You must have a genuine relationship.
- 4. You must be able to support your fiancé / spouse in the USA.

paranormal time......

Why are ghost stories more fun told in the dark, people like to be scared, and in the dark your ears can hear more than your eyes can see. The comment about the spirutalists using the dark to mask their tricks are true too. T.v. shows take advantage of our fear of the dark, or our wish to enjoy that shivery fear, and film their shows dark. It adds "atmosphere". I work with the public, and take every opportunity to tell people I'm interested in paranormal investigation. Most people tell me stories of their experiences. But almost NONE of their experiences happen at night. A lot of people investigate at night because they work days, and it's convenient. Sadly, a lot of people get their information from t.v. and movies, and they think the ghosties only come out at night.
Posted 10 September 2009 - 02:49 AM
I've had encounters during the day...just more at night, especially the wee hours-between 2-4am
LOL I actually thought you were asking about how time passed for them

Is there such a thing as "the witching hour" I have heard it called and if so, when is it??? I heard it was supposed to be midnight, then I heard 3 am...I'm really confused!!! If there is such a thing, is it easier to catch evidence at this time??? Is the veil between the worlds thinner at this time or is it just a bunch af bull???
Sometimes it's easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission!!!
Posted 22 September 2009 - 10:35 AM
Actually I do most of my investigative work in daylight. As far as a "witching hour" I think that just goes back to the old "ghosts come out at night" ideas. It may be true that our senses are more acute at night, but keep in mind that also leads to our being more likely to accept anything as paranormal. The possibility of false positives also goes up at night.

I have heard of this theory before and think it could be a very good possibility. That may be why so many of the paranormal sites that i have visited have solar and lunar status info on them and why its prob a good idea to document these sort of events to find out if there is any connection. Also i have to agree with the fact that day jobs get in the way and at night if your doing an outside investigation (say a cemetery) and its next to a heavily used road, there are less people out so you get less interference with trying to do evps and things of that nature.
Since paranormal beings are electromagnetic in nature, could solar wind/flare activity affect them? It can wreak havoc on electronic devices. Once the earth is turned away, it does get much less solar interference. That's the only logical (maybe) reason I could think of.

Brandeis economists on America's economic outlook
Attempts to repair damage caused by the bursting of the housing bubble, the meltdown on Wall Street, and the shrinking international economy were analyzed by two stellar Brandeis University economists at the Brandeis Spotlight Forum on March 19 at Boston's Old State House.
Lisa M. Lynch, dean of the Heller School of Social Policy and Management, and Bruce R. Magid, dean of the International Business School, discussed whether officials and regulators are doing enough and how deep the downturn will be.
Lynch is chair of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and a member of the Governor's Council of Economic Advisers. She was chief economist at the US Department of Labor in 1995-97.
Magid is former managing director and chief international economist at Bank of America. He serves on the board and is treasurer of the Massachusetts International Trade Council, and holds the Martin and Ahuva Gross Chair in Financial Markets and Institutions.

No job too big for Hopkinton's Tom WaltonBy KEVIN GRAY
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 31. 2013 10:19PM
No volunteer job is too big or too small for Tom Walton of Hopkinton, winner of the 2013 Carl Lundholm Award for Dedication to Youth Athletics.
A longtime youth coach in several sports, Walton co-founded the Capital Area Race Series in 2005 and served as a volunteer to build and coach the men's and women's cross country programs at New Hampshire Technical Institute in Concord.
At the annual NHTI/Northeast Delta Dental 5k Road Race & Fun Run, Walton is the guy handing out prizes and making sure the kids' fun run is a wild success.
Walton, a former physical education and health instructor in the Concord school district, will be among the honorees at the New Hampshire Union Leader's annual sports banquet, The Leaders: A Celebration of New Hampshire Sports Champions. The event is set for Sunday, Feb. 10, at noon at the Radisson-Manchester.
Walton will be surrounded by some of the state's most accomplished athletes, coaches and community leaders - and fit right in. He was nominated for the Lundholm Award by NHTI's director of athletics, Paul Hogan.
"Tom Walton will jump onto any movement to help others," Hogan said. "He lends his expertise and experience and energy to so many causes, big or small.
The Leaders, formerly known as the Parade of Champions, will also honor the 2012 Union Leader All-State high school athletes and coaches of the year, 12 BASC/Apple Therapy Athletes of the Month, and some of the state's all-time best coaches and officials. The Red Rolfe Male and Female Athletes of the Year also will be named.

Flank and Greens
Makes 6 servings
2 tablespoons Chef Paul Prudhomme's Meat Magic® OR
1 teaspoon ground ginger
¾ teaspoon ground cumin
1½ pounds flank steak or venison, all visible fat removed, scalloped
2 cups chopped onions
12 cups washed and chopped mixed greens, in all (see Note)
6 cups defatted beef, chicken, venison, pork or vegetable stock, in all
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour, browned
6 cups cooked long-grain white rice
how to prepare
Combine the first 3 ingredients in a small bowl to make the Seasoning Mix.
Sprinkle all surfaces of the scalloped meat evenly with 2 teaspoons of the Seasoning Mix and rub it in well.
Preheat a heavy 5-quart pot, preferably nonstick, over high heat to 350°, about 4 minutes. Add the seasoned meat and brown it on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onions, the remaining Seasoning Mix, and ½ cup of each type of greens. Cover and cook, scraping the bottom of the pot to clear all the browned bits, for 8 minutes. Add 1 cup of the stock and cook, covered, for 15 minutes, checking occasionally for sticking. Add the browned flour and mix until it is completely absorbed (the brown of the flour is no longer visible) and the meat looks moist and very pasty. Add the remaining stock and greens, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and, occasionally checking the bottom of the pot for sticking, cook until the meat and greens are tender, about 20 minutes, serve over the rice.
NOTE: Use three kinds of greens for a rounded taste. We often combine spinach, collards, and mustard greens, but experiment and enjoy! You can use beet tops, turnip greens, chard, or any combination of greens, as long as they aren't bitter ones like iceberg lettuce or radicchio.

ALEXANDRIA, VA. (November 14, 2012) – National PTA®, along with AXA Foundation (the philanthropic arm of AXA Equitable) announced today that for the first time ever PTA Take Your Family to School Week will have a theme, which will focus on a critical risk for our nation's youth—Safety at Home and at Play.
Another first is National PTA making tool kits available for any and all parent groups and community organizations. The tool kits, developed in partnership with Safe Kids Worldwide, will arm parent groups with resources to engage families, teachers, students and the community to raise awareness of the most dangerous safety risks and work together to achieve safer behaviors. Tool kits will also have tips to help groups conduct events and activities for Take Your Family to School Week.
National PTA also announced that they will offer 100 grants of $500 each to local PTAs across the country as part of National PTA's Take Your Family to School Week—a special week in February that encourages PTAs to engage families in their schools and recognizes them for their efforts.
With the announcement of the grants and child safety theme, AXA also reaffirmed its steadfast support of students, families and education by continuing its sponsorship of National PTA. AXA Foundation has been a Proud National Sponsor of PTA since 2005 and has helped to positively engage hundreds of thousands of families in their child's education and school environment. AXA Foundation is also the awards sponsor of Take Your Family to School Week.
"We are excited about the theme for Take Your Family to School Week. For the first time ever we are combining two significant aspects of family engagement into this special week, being involved in your child's education and ensuring their overall health and well-being. Child safety is a growing concern nationwide and PTA wants to inform families about the latest information and resources that will help them keep their kids safe," said Betsy Landers, National PTA President.
"This type of family engagement could not be possible without the AXA Foundation's steadfast support over the years. They are true champions of children, family engagement and student success. Their sponsorship demonstrates their genuine dedication and commitment to our nation's families."
"The AXA Foundation is proud to support PTA Take Your Family to School Week. Our involvement over the years is natural because we support family engagement and children's educational success," said Faith Frank, President of the AXA Foundation. We're particularly excited about this year's theme of child safety, because AXA Equitable's mission is to help people build more secure futures and provide protection for the long term.
"Through our signature program, AXA Achievement, AXA Equitable is one of the nation's largest corporate providers of scholarships. Our sponsorship of Take Your Family to School Week grants is part of our ongoing commitment to increasing educational opportunities."
The grants are used to build positive partnerships with teachers and families, connect parents to their children's school experiences, and give children fun ways to share what they are learning and doing in class with their families.
Take Your Family to School Week is celebrated each February to pay tribute to PTA's legacy of building family-school partnerships. The timing of the week—in February—honors the day PTA was founded: February 17, 1897. The upcoming special week will be held February 18-22, 2013.
National PTA® comprises millions of families, students, teachers, administrators, and business and community leaders devoted to the educational success of children and the promotion of parent involvement in schools. PTA is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit association that prides itself on being a powerful voice for all children, a relevant resource for families and communities, and a strong advocate for public education. Membership in PTA is open to anyone who wants to be involved and make a difference for the education, health, and welfare of children and youth.
The AXA Foundation is the philanthropic arm of AXA Equitable, one of the nation's premier financial services organizations and a member of the global AXA Group, a worldwide leader in financial protection and wealth management. The Foundation directs the company's philanthropic and volunteer activities, working to improve the quality of life in communities across the country where AXA has a presence. The AXA Foundation's multifaceted signature program, AXA Achievement, supports the company's strong commitment to Corporate Responsibility and AXA Group's flagship theme of "Risk Research and Education," by providing America's youth with the access and advice to help them succeed in college and beyond. Since AXA Achievement launched in 2003, over $21.5 million in scholarships has been awarded to more than 4,800 students nationwide. For more information, visit www.axa-achievement.com or AXA Equitable's Facebook page.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist Review
What should you do when a terrorist group successfully attacks a foreign military base and threatens attacks every seven days if you do not recall all military personnel operating overseas? Apparently you call in Sam Fisher and build the best team around him. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist is the newest game in the action franchise and quickly deploys you around the world to stop the impending attacks.
To help you on your missions, you have access to the best technology available, though it may take a while to earn the money to purchase it all. This technology includes new weapons and upgrades, as well as devices such as a micro-trirotor drone. Naturally you are also armed with the trifocal goggles to see in the dark, and with upgrades, see through walls and even latent footprints.
The game does have a mature rating from the ESRB for intense violence, blood, gore, and strong language.
Should you don the goggles yourself to stop the terrorists, or let what waits in the shadows stay there? Time to find out.

Another View: Hatred of Jews, Islamic imperialism central to Hamas ideologyBY JOSEPH S. SPOERL, Ph.D.
November 19. 2012 6:48PM
The flare-up of violence between Israel and the Hamas state in the Gaza strip has drawn our attention again to that volatile corner of the globe. Since the Muslim Brotherhood now controls Egypt, and the rulers of Turkey and Qatar have openly embraced Hamas, the current round of violence is occurring in a whole new geopolitical context. It is more important than ever that Americans understand the ideology of Hamas and its parent, the Muslim Brotherhood.
That ideology has two dominant features: Islamic imperialism and extreme hatred for Jews.
The Egyptian founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hasan al-Banna (1906-1949), was enraged by Western dominance of the Muslim world, since he saw this as a reversal of the divinely mandated order by which Muslims should rule over non-Muslims, not vice versa. Al-Banna looked back on the era of Muslim conquests as a golden age, writing that "the Noble Qur'an appoints the Muslims as guardians over humanity., and grants them the right of suzerainty and dominion over the world." Invoking classical Islamic law, al-Banna called upon his followers to eject Western imperialists (including Zionists) from Muslim lands, and then to work towards Islamic penetration and eventual control of non-Muslim countries as well. A central goal of the Muslim Brotherhood has thus always been the destruction of the Zionist state of Israel. The Muslim Brotherhood in the Palestinian territories, a.k.a. Hamas, quotes al-Banna in its "Covenant" or statement of foundational principles: "Israel will remain until Islam eliminates it as it eliminated its predecessors." When Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood leaders claim that they are merely a "resistance" movement opposed to Israeli "occupation," it is important to recall that they believe the entire state of Israel is occupied territory that rightfully belongs to Muslims. Their goal, therefore, is the total destruction of Israel.
Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood regard Israel as the product of a diabolical Jewish conspiracy to control the world. The Hamas Covenant asserts that the Jews have taken control of the global media and the international financial system; that they were behind the French and Bolshevik Revolutions; that "wherever there is war in the world, it is they who are pulling the strings;" that they control the Freemasons, the Rotary Clubs, the Lions Clubs. The goal of the Jews is "to break societies, undermine values, destroy people's honor, create moral degeneration, and annihilate Islam." Zionism, the Covenant tells us, "is behind all types of trafficking in drugs and alcohol, so as to make it easier for it to take control and expand." As evidence of this global Jewish conspiracy the Covenant cites the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an anti-Semitic forgery that played a central role in Nazi propaganda and that historians rightly describe as "a warrant for genocide."
Hamas leaders routinely broadcast open calls for genocide against Jews on the official Hamas TV station in Gaza. In February 2010, Abdallah Jarbu, a member of the Hamas government, stated, "the .. Jews are thieves and aggressors . they are a foreign bacteria - a microbe unparalleled in the world. May He (Allah) annihilate this filthy people. I condemn whoever believes . that they are human beings. They are not human beings. They are not people." In November 2010, one of the original founders and top leaders of Hamas, the Foreign Minister Mahmoud al-Zahar, informed the Jews that "you have no future among the nations of the world. You are headed for annihilation." In May 2011, Yunis al-Astal, a Hamas member of the Palestinian legislature, proclaimed on Hamas TV that "all the dangerous predators, all the birds of prey, all the dangerous reptiles and insects, and all the lethal bacteria are far less dangerous than the Jews. In just a few years, all the Zionists . will realize that their arrival in Palestine was for the purpose of the great massacre, by means of which Allah wants to relieve humanity of their evil."
Such open calls for genocide have also been made by the top religious authority in the global Muslim Brotherhood, Egyptian Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a leading expert on Islamic law. In January 2009, during the last Israel-Hamas war, Qaradawi said of the Jews, "O Allah, count their numbers, and kill them, down to the very last one."
As the Jews of Israel act to defend themselves, we should all be aware of the vicious ideology and genocidal intentions of their enemies.

The ancient city of Ayutthaya, formally designated Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya was the Thai capital city for 417 years ago, and is one of Thailand's major tourist attractions. Ayutthaya province is relatively small at 2,557 sq.km. and is easily accessible due to good road, rail and river connections and its proximity to Bangkok, Straddling the Chao Phraya River, the nation's principal waterway, the province is extremely important, as it was the Siamese capital for four centuries. The city of Ayutthaya is 76 km. north of Bangkok and boasts numerous magnificent ruins from its days as the capital. Just to the south, in perfect condition, stands the royal palace of Bang Pa-In set in splendid gardens. The province is also noted for H.M. the Queen's Bang Sai Arts and Crafts Centre.
Many ancient ruins and art works can be seen in a city that was founded in 1350 by King U-Thong when the Thais were forced southwards by northern neighbors. During the period when Ayutthaya was capital, 33 kings and several dynasties ruled the kingdom, until the glittering city was sacked by the Burmese in 1767, ruined and abandoned.

Stockton has many strange civic intersections - metaphorical roadways that sometimes lead to nasty pileups.
Stockton has many strange civic intersections - metaphorical roadways that sometimes lead to nasty pileups.
Amid bankruptcy, some plod down the street with a sense of doom while others shout out their windows that we shall overcome the mess.
When our tattered image is discussed, there are head-on collisions between those who trash the community and diehards who emit positive vibes. And then there's crime. Increasingly, there's crime.
It would behoove Mayor Ann Johnston, her November election opponent Anthony Silva and all in city government to be aware that more and more Stocktonians are finding themselves at a dangerous intersection when it comes to crime. They're seriously asking two questions:
� "Do we hunker (or bunker?) down and fight this out, hoping that things get better and doing our part to help?"
� "Or, do we get the hell out of Dodge?"
From indications, one of the city's vocal and iconic boosters is choosing Door No. 2. More specifically, I-5 North out of town.
Oakland A's pitcher Dallas Braden used that baseball bat he carried to an anti-crime public gathering at Victory Park on Wednesday to - symbolically - beat the city he proclaims to love.
Braden was fed up. He'd supported his hometown at every opportunity. But he'd had two brushes with its criminal element - an attempted carjacking and a burglary at the dwelling of his beloved grandmother. He felt as if the Stockton Police Department didn't care. He called the new police chief a liar.
Braden - injured and unable to play this season - said he has decided to sell his house and, reportedly, move to Sacramento.
Stocktonians will debate whether this is an over-the-top reaction to the type of crime many face on a daily basis. They'll question his alleged coarse interaction with cops. Some will call it a valid response to situations that put Braden and his grandmother in peril.
Based on the social media reaction, it's about 50 percent pro- and 50 percent anti-Braden.
The "Dallas Braden Persona" in Stockton is more about attitude than athletics. There's no question he captured the moment with his Mother's Day 2010 perfect game. He'd done something fewer than 20 people had accomplished in Major League Baseball history.
In reality, that's about all he's done, mostly because of injuries. Nobody is going to confuse the limited depth of his athletic accomplishments with those of Stockton baseball products Von Hayes, Ed Sprague or Mike Macfarlane. He's not in the echelon of local NFL players such as Webster Slaughter or Derek Kennard. He doesn't approach Lathrop's NBA player/coach Scott Brooks or even some local Olympians (Brad Schumacher, Elaina Oden and Nicole Davis come to mind).
But the things that made - and hopefully will still make - Braden special are his fiery attitude and the way he embraced Stockton. He brought us along for a great ride.
The guy can't throw a fastball hard enough to break a pane of glass, but he can retire major league hitters (27 of them in a row, in fact, in his perfecto). He has resolve and tenacity. Ask A-Rod.
Needles punctured Braden to tattoo our 209 area code across his torso. He walked to the mound in Oakland with rap music from Stockton artists blaring. Locals could get A's ticket deals in Section 209. He fed the homeless in Stockton. He spent money on local Little Leagues. He supported our athletic and education scene.
And - perhaps most importantly - he chose to live here as the ultimate commuter. Braden wrapped his arms around the community and gave it a bear hug. Even when he was injured.
Then came the criminal incidents that caused him fear, his interaction with police, the outburst at the Victory Park meeting and his vow to leave.
How strange that this drama and turmoil happened just days before two local events called "Stockton Is Magnificent" and "Love Stockton." There are those strange civic intersections again.
Many of us would like to see Braden work out his concerns with the police chief, mayor and others. Things can get difficult after you allegedly play the "Do You Know Who I Am?" card. Ask former City Manager Mark Lewis.
But the differences should not be insurmountable. Stockton won't be a better place if Braden hightails it to Sacto and undergoes - figuratively, anyway - a 209 tattoo removal.

Chilean coach Borghi fired after friendly loss
Santiago (Chile), Nov 15 (IANS):
Claudio Borghi, coach of Chilean national football team, was fired after his team lost 1-3 to Serbia in an international friendly played in St Gallen, Switzerland.
The bitter loss Wednesday was just the last straw, as the 48-year-old lost his job mainly because of the team's poor performance in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers, reports Xinhua.
"The record isn't good after the last four matches we have played and a few minutes ago, I met a couple of the federation's directors who asked me to step down," said Borghi, who replaced compatriot Marcelo Bielsa in February last year.
"I have already announced the news to the players. They (the directors) asked me to go, I have been sacked and I have not resigned. This closes a really nice chapter in my life, and I am really proud to have been the coach of Chile," the Argentine added.
Chile has suffered three defeats in a row in the South American zone of 2014 World Cup qualifiers and only rank sixth in the standings with the first four teams to advance to the World Cup finals in Brazil and the fifth team go into a playoff clash with the fifth team from Asia.

Eating Disorders
Eating Disorder
I have an 11 month old that never wanted to eat solids. She is solely on formula and takes bites of random foods here and there. I have been trying to feed her since she was 3 months old. When I try to feed her, she screams, puts her hands in her mouth and pushes the spoon away and throws the bowl or spoon on the floor and, of course, throwing a fit.
I have discussed this with my pediatrician and she says that it is my fault that she does not want to eat because I am giving her too much formula. The reason this has happened is because she refuses to eat, therefore, I have replaced her meals with the formula.
How can I leave her without eating? I have tried her suggestion of limiting her formula to 4 bottles a day, while trying to give her 3 meals....I did it for 7 days and no signs of improvement. Can this be an eating disorder at such a young age or with she simply grow out of it?
It is possible for a young child to have a medical problem that limits their ability to handle solid foods. However, much more commonly, it is a habit. Even in the first weeks of life, babies prefer sweet and salty and reject bitter and sour tastes. Further, they reject new foods, especially new textures. To overcome this, studies show that parents need to offer new foods more than 10 times to infants for it to become accepted. At this point, it seems as if your child has established a firm rejection of solids. Some of the things that you can try to overcome this:
1) Eliminate the bottle or sippy cup. Feed only from a cup.
2) Offer small amounts of thin solids from the cup at the very start of each meal or snack. Very thin Cream of Wheat or mashed potatoes might be a good start.
3) If the baby accepts the taste, offer praise and happy faces. If the baby rejects the taste, turn your attention away for 15 seconds. Keep repeating this, using only small tastes of new textures and tastes.
4) As the baby tries new foods, very gradually make them thicker. Remember to give enthusiastic praise when something new is tried and to turn away if the baby rejects it.
5) After each meal or snack, when you have tried a variety of fruits, vegetables, cereals, table foods, then offer formula, only from a cup and only 4 ounces. Don't worry if the baby eats only a little. If she still wants something after the formula, offer more new foods. Wait another hour or two and try again.
6) Have the baby eat at the family table. Offer small bites of soft foods that you are having, if the baby seems interested. Keep in mind that a normal infant eats 6 times per day. Each meal doesn't need to be large and doesn't need to be accompanied by formula. Help the baby develop a taste for water, too. If you still are struggling, Nationwide Children's has a feeding clinic to help you. Good luck!

Rome: Italian police have arrested the brother of the Sicilian Mafia`s one-time top boss in another blow to Cosa Nostra on the island.
Carabinieri police said in a statement on Friday that Gaetano Riina was one of four people arrested on mafia association and extortion charges.
Riina took over as head of the Corleone clan following the 1993 arrest of his brother, "boss of bosses" Salvatore "Toto" Riina.
In recent years, several top Mafia bosses have been arrested, seriously weakening the Sicilian mob while other crime syndicates on the Italian mainland have grown stronger, including the Camorra in the Naples area and the `ndrangheta in southern Calabria.
Police said the three-year investigation showed how powerful Corleone remained, despite the arrest of top bosses.

This weekend, I made a small walnut and maple box. In my six years of woodworking, it's the toughest project I've ever built.
Last Friday morning, I had to say goodbye to Cleocatra, the sweet kitty who adopted me at the SPCA in 1996. I don't know how old she was – but I do know she was treated like a queen for 15 of her years. She was the friendliest cat I've ever met, bar none. She loved screaming babies, rowdy kids, dogs, other cats – almost every creature with which she came in contact. Except mice. Cleo was afraid of mice. (I had a field mouse get in to my apartment one winter, and both she and I saw it at the same time, jumped at least a foot in the air, then ran in the other direction.)
Cleo had trouble getting around for the last year, and for the last couple months, I had to lift her onto my bed at night. Early last week, she stopped eating. And she stopped coming out to say hello when people came to visit. So I knew it was time to say goodbye.
This little dovetailed box will hold Cleo's ashes. And while it's a simple project, it was incredibly hard to build. It's difficult enough for me to see my layout lines on walnut on a good day; it's a lot harder through tears.
The walnut (to commemorate her dark fur) was from a half-finished project that's been languishing under my desk for several years; the maple (which evokes the many white hairs she's gotten over the last few years) is left over from the chop on my small bench. The size was somewhat dictated by the wood I had available, but also, it just felt right.
It's made from 1/2″ stock and is approximately 4″ x 5″, 4″ tall, with a 1/4″ nailed-on bottom. The top is 1/2″ maple, with the edges rounded over (I planed a 1/4″ chamfer on each edge, then sanded to create the curve). To keep the top in place, I cut a piece of walnut that fit with 1/8″ or so of wiggle room inside the box, then glued it in place to the underside of the top.
I've put two coats of oil/varnish blend on the box proper; the glue needs to fully cure on the insert piece for the top before I can finish-sand, then apply the same mixture to the maple. But I'm at a crossroads with the design of the top – I can't decide whether or not to put a handle on it.
I shaped a small walnut handle using a block plane and sandpaper, but I'm not convinced it belongs. On one hand, a walnut handle on top would help to visually tie the light top back back to the dark base. On the other hand, this box isn't really meant to be opened; I don't want the handle to be an invitation to look inside (and I plan to seal it with wax).
Perhaps it doesn't matter – after all, this box is likely going on a high shelf well out of reach, where the top of the top won't be visible. But every time I look up at it, I know I'll remember how difficult it was to build. And whether or not I'm looking up at it, I'll miss having Cleo by my side.
I sincerely hope you don't need to make a box for the same reason I did. Maybe you just like to make boxes – but want something a little fancier (or just prefer to work from plans). If so, check out just some of the many books, DVDs and plans we offer on boxes of all sorts:
• "Box by Box," a book by Jim Stack
• "New Masters of the Wooden Box," a book by Oscar P. Fitzgerald (chock-full of inspiring photographs and essays about the artists' design choices and goals)
• "Box Making Bonanza," a DVD by Jim Stack and Doug Stowe
• "Sculpted Band Saw Boxes," a book by Lois Keener Ventura
• "Puzzle Box Magic" a DVD by Jeff Vollmer
• "Creating Wooden Boxes on the Scroll Saw," a book from the editors of Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts
• "Shaker Box Construction Manual," from John Wilson (we also offer a "Shaker Oval box Kit" from Wilson, with plans, instructions, bending stock, cherry boards and the hardware to make three nesting boxes)
