Atelier Thomas Pucher's designs arise from meticulous research, grasping the spirit of the site from an attentive analysis of the context and its history. Equally, the specific character of the programme and of its future users, the ecology and sustainability of the built or even the structural elements that supports the building are some of the fundamental themes that contributes to generate the project.
Through a holistic understanding of the needs of the surroundings and of the building, both present and latent, they believe that their projects can create an honest dialog with its vicinity and seamlessly integrate itself in the context and in simultaneous, strengthen the spirit of the place.
At Atelier Thomas Pucher, they acknowledge the major role of architecture in the life of the people and therefore they undertake the responsibility and the commitment of a design of excellence in every scale of architecture. From the masterplan to the constructive detail, they are always guided by the main concept and the concerns that characterise each specific project. The same attention and accuracy in design is applied to every stage of the construction, in order to achieve a coherent result between the project and the final building.
Diversity has been always a key element in their work, applicable both in programme and in scale. Reinventing their design methods, concepts and views is basal in their approach, aiming always for the best answer for each project, with its unique programme, situation and people.
Since the foundation of Atelier Thomas Pucher in 2005, they have won over 30 competitions across the world, such as the Headquarters for the Organisation of the Islamic Conference in Saudi Arabia (2008), the new seat for the Sinfonia Varsovia, in Poland (2010) and the Tallinn Music and Ballet School in Estonia (2011) just to name a few. Allied to that, they are also involved in architectural and urban planning projects in Denmark, Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Armenia, China, Taiwan, South Korea, among others.

Sure enough, there was a vegetable called a patty pan squash. Huh. Now that I knew that this veggie was called, what do I do with it? Maybe I could paint it and make it look like a pumpkin. Or use it as a door stop. Or... make a chocolate patty pan bread!
Once again, Google saved the day. I came across a chocolate patty pan bread recipe on The Harmonious Kitchen and knew that this is how I would use up the squash. I read through the ingredients and instructions, and it looked very similar to all the zucchini breads I've made recently.
The resulting patty pan bread was amazing! As I suspected, the bread tasted very similar to the chocolate zucchini bread that I posted about recently. It was very chocolatey, moist, and you couldn't taste much of the patty pan at all. Take a look at who else enjoyed this bread:
|Addison loves her patty pan bread!
- 2 cups grated patty pan squash (do not substitute with other squash! Patty pan squash has less water content than other squash, so if you used another type of squash, your bread's consistency will be off)
- 1 cup oil
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1-1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 1/4 cup sour cream (I subbed with 1/4 cup Greek yogurt)
- 2 TBSP baking powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9×5 loaf pan.
Mix the oil, eggs, and both sugars until well incorporated. Then add in flour, cocoa powder, sour cream, and baking powder. Mix well. Finally, gently stir in squash and chocolate chips.
Bake for 60 – 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle yields no crumbs.
The Harmonious Kitchen author also says that you could make this into a cake too. Just grease and flour two 9″ cake rounds, divide the batter, and bake 25 – 30 minutes.
Yield: One loaf

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- The Westchester County law enforcement community gathered Thursday at the County Center in White Plains to pay tribute to fallen officers and honor current officers for outstanding police work performed in the past year.
The annual Police Memorial Day and Honor Awards ceremony was presided over by County Executive Robert P. Astorino and Public Safety Commissioner George N. Longworth. The names of 86 officers who lost their lives in the line of duty in Westchester were read aloud and taps were played to honor their memory.
Astorino noted that the names of Yonkers Police Lt. Roy McLaughlin and Yonkers Police Officer Anthony Maggiore were formally added to the county's Roll Call of Honor during the ceremony. The two men died in recent years of illness contracted while serving at Ground Zero following the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
"During some of our nation's darkest hours, at a time when no one knew if another attack was imminent, they headed toward the danger because they wanted to help," Astorino told the 300 people in attendance. "It is brutally sad that their service would make them ill and cost them their lives."
The county executive noted that the events of 9/11 continue to claim the lives of police officers long after the attacks, noting that 142 officers in New York State have died of cancer and other diseases linked to service at Ground Zero.
Longworth said, "All 86 officers on our Roll of Honor gave their lives protecting others. Their bravery and selflessness continue to inspire all who serve today."
In the awards portion of the ceremony, 38 law enforcement officers were honored for acts of bravery, investigative skill and lifesaving actions that occurred between April 1, 2009 and March 31, 2010.
For the six-month period from April 1, 2016, to Sept. 30, 2016, awards were presented to:
Detective Sgt. Charles Dematteo, and Detectives Dale Hughes and Nicholas Servidio, Yonkers Police Department; and Investigator Robyn Arias of the Westchester District Attorney's Office for their dedication, persistence and intelligent work police during a complex investigation into a shooting in Yonkers in Sept. 2015. Four persons were eventually identified and charged to conclude the challenging investigation.
Sgt. Anthony Kressevich, Detectives Jamar Cunningham and John Heffner, and Police Officers Frank Madera, Derek Longo and Paul Perpall of the White Plains Police Department Narcotics Unit for their successful eight-month investigation into increased heroin sales occurring in the city.
Police Officers Isai Moreira and Wilberto Saez of the Westchester County Police Marine Unit for their quick actions in saving the lives of two men who jumped into the Hudson River without flotation devices after their boat caught on fire on Aug. 27. After rescuing the pair, the officers used their patrol boat's fire suppression equipment to extinguish the fire.
For the six-month period from Oct. 1, 2016, to March 31, 2017, awards were presented to:
- Police Officers Stephen Betz and Adam Mietlowski of the Dobbs Ferry Police Department for the professional response, bravery and restraint they demonstrated on March 12 when they went to a home on a report of an unconscious female and were confronted by a man with a shotgun. The officers were able to take cover, defuse the situation and take the suspect into custody, averting a potential tragedy. Their actions also enabled EMS personnel to quickly render medical aid to the victim.
- Sgt. Kevin Perri and Detectives Vincent Marion, Michael McKenniss, Isabel O'Rourke and Joseph Savoca; New Rochelle Police Department; Detectives Mark D'Elia and Daniel O'Malley, Greenburgh Police Department; Sgt. Matthew Kiernan, Eastchester Police Department; Detective Patricia Arcesi, Scarsdale Police Department, and Senior Investigator Michael Occhicone of the Westchester District Attorney's Office for their successful investigation into an organized burglary ring and the arrest of multiple suspects. Hundreds of pieces of jewelry, computers and other property were recovered.
- Troopers Glen Williams and Dermont Summers for saving the life of a woman on Dec. 19 who was threatening to jump from the Tappan Zee Bridge. The troopers had to climb over the bridge railings on to a narrow ledge to reach the woman and brought her to safety though she struggled against them.
- Detective Capt. Joseph Monaco, Detective Lt. Anthony Chiarella, Detective Sgt. Brian Moran, Police Officer Christopher Dematteo and Detectives Darryl Benjamin, Javier Lugo, Megan Madaus, Thomas Marello, Brian Menton and Marvin Oakley of the Yonkers Police Department and FBI Special Agents Brendan Kenney and Karma Smith for their successful investigation into a commercial burglary ring that was operating in Yonkers, throughout Westchester and adjacent counties, and in Connecticut. Following weeks of investigation and surveillance, multiple suspects were arrested and large amount of property from burglaries were recovered.

By Paul Dobleman:
There were a lot of good ones but this is the winner for January and the first asshole of the year! Due to the nature of the story this person wanted to remain candid so we'll just call him, James. This is James's story…
A few years ago I was living in a house outside of San Francisco. I signed the lease with a friend of a friend who also needed a place to live. After we moved in I realized that this guy was a nightmare. Coming in late at night drunk, pot smoke wafting from under his door when my parents came for dinner, puking in the sink in our shared bathroom. Real "classy" roommate stuff.
After a few months of this I was about at my wits-end. During this time the place I worked for offered for me to work from home more often so I decided that I "needed" a home office. I hated my roommate and I wanted his room for my own, so I decided he needed to go and pronto.
On a day he wasn't there I went into his room to try and find something that I could use to evict him. Lucky for me he wasn't just smoking pot, he had turned his closet into the beginings a mini pot farm. Let the record show that I don't have any problem with pot but this guy had to be GONE. So one day I called in an "anonymous tip" with our local police department. I answered the door to the two cops when they arrived. I played up that I "had no idea what they were talking about" but that my roommate was upstairs if they needed to talk to him.
Long story short… Upon searching his room, not only did they find the few small pot plants but he also had about a thousand dollars in cash and quite a large supply of cocaine. Couple that with a few other small arrests he got 5 to 10 years in jail, and I got my beautiful new home office. Asshole of the month material?
Congratulations James, you are an asshole!
James chose the pinata donkey for his collection, good luck to everyone else!!!

Developed with and for tactical professionals, the Schmidt & Bender 3-27x56 PMII LP High Power Riflescope is a incredibly versatile optic for close to extreme long range use without compromising performance at any magnification. Schmidt & Bender started with a broad zoom range that is practical for all distances, then added an over-sized objective to give the scope enhanced low-light performance and ensures images remain bright and clear when the power is dialed up. Image brightness is further increased through the use of index-matched anti-reflection lens coatings that are custom-engineered to the glass used on the lens elements for maximum light transmission.
This version of the PMII scope features clockwise rotation MTC (More Tactile Clicks) windage and elevation turrets that allow users to easily count and keep track of adjustments without having to move your focus away from the eyepiece. Its 0.1 mrad impact point correction gets users precisely on-target and the ±6 mrad windage and wide 26 mrad elevation range enables confident BDC when taking shots at extreme distances. To accomplish the elevation range, the turret is able to make two complete rotations. The scope's housing has a larger 34mm one-piece main-tube and is made of a lightweight aluminum alloy that has a scratch and corrosion-resistant matte-black anodized finish. The housing is nitrogen-filled to provide the PM II with fogproof performance in all weather, and is O-ring sealed to be waterproof to 80 feet.

A Thunder Rock 100 Mile Trail Race Report
It was the kid's first 100 mile race.
"this may sound cheesy, but ever since I started doing ultras, I've followed your race reports and adventures…," he said as we made our way down the start of the seemingly lonely and long gravel road section.
But, to me, it wasn't cheesy at all. I beamed with pride.
When I first started, I sought out the same kind of kindred souls, too. I read the writings and ramblings of lots of runners, and vowed that while my writing style would probably be a lot different, I too, would share my stoke with those who sought it; and with now over 80 race reports live on this website, I can offer a pretty deep look into the life, growth, drama, ups, downs, and complete chaos that is ultrarunning.
Mission accomplished, but I "ain't" about to stop anytime soon.
By the way, the kid whooped my butt by over 3 hours.
Congrats Benj.
The Randyland 100
I'm not sure if Joe Fejes made that name up, but when I saw his email the night before, with this as the subject line, and being the great friend he is, predicting my race failure an' all, I busted out laughing.
Randy Whorton, the race director, is a longtime, seasoned ultrarunner, known for liking tough courses and participating in challenging runs. Joe and Randy are friends, and he had been warning me not to take this lightly. Regardless of how the race was written up, Joe expected it to be very challenging, and as usual, Joe was right.
But of course, I never listened, and walked around like the rest of my group expecting something rather tame.
Here's a quickie race snapshot
- 100.2 miles (although I believe it to be at least 103 miles)
- The first 40 miles is full of insanely beautiful single-track
- Miles 41-70 was mostly agonizing, unforgiving gravel logging roads
- Miles 74-82 was super muddy, rocky dirt trails, but mostly descending
- Mile 82 offered us a waist-deep river crossing
- Miles 83-87 offered us the most ridiculous, late-race climb @ 2200 feet
- Miles 87-93 was more annoying logging roads, and a tiny bit of pavement
- Miles 93 – 100+ was very technical, beautiful rocky trail, that eventually brought us home
I've never been able to run a 100-miler in 24 hours. Partly because the courses I choose are pretty tough, but mostly because I'm just not good at 100-mile races. The longer the race, the worse I do. But, because of my delusional perception of this upcoming race, and my strong desire to do so, and despite my lack of specificity training, I shouted out that I was going for my 24-hour finish at Thunder Rock.
What a joke I am.
The Race is Only Part of the Adventure
I sometimes wonder what the rest of the ultrarunning community thinks of us.
We are loud, obnoxious, hyper, over-excited, talkative, ridiculous, and completely oblivious to everything around us, except us. "Li'l Weezy" is probably the most outrageous, and now that he's addicted to the show 'Justified,' his redneck(ness) has skyrocketed to a whole new level.
I would like to publically apologize to the Blue Ridge Brewery, Serenity Hotel, as well as anyone within 100 yards of us during the first mile of the race. Whatever you heard, whatever shenanigans made you roll your eyes, or wonder who these obnoxious a-holes were, it was all in good fun, I promise.
Thunder Rock, Aid Station 1, Mile 5.45
From the word go, we found ourselves on incredibly beautiful, mildly-technical ridge trail, that gradually weaved around, up and down, for almost six miles. I love to pay attention to the "social" side of 100-milers, listening to overly-talkative people, or the trail-side advice-givers, or the opposite – those people who run for 10 miles with that "deer in headlights" look having just realized what they started.
So many stories playing out. So much training (or lack thereof) being put to an ultimate test.
You know some of these people will not even be in the game 8, 12, 15 hours from now …and you also know, you might be one of 'em.
I rolled into mile 5.45 feeling strong, running well, and happy.
Deep Gap, Aid Station 2, Mile 14.87
"Crap, is that hail?" I thought to myself as I ran out of the first aid station.
Yup, it was hail, and it was coming down hard. Luckily, I ducked into the trailhead, and we had such a nice canopy of cover, it didn't hammer me too badly. That would come later.
Mile 10. The sky is black. Thunder booming, lightning crashing, and here we are running on a high ridge, next to a powerline cut, and there's is only one thing that could make it sketchier – more hail.
So, of course, it hailed. Again.
Running with Matt Davis at that point, we came into the 15-mile aid station feeling pretty good, albeit drenched.
This would become a reoccuring theme throughout the entire race.
Reliance, Aid Station 3, Mile 25.34
Again, what more can I say about the beauty of this course? I was enjoying the terrain so much, I was convincing myself that this race was going to be different. I was NOT going to suffer like I have in so many other 100-mile races. No sir. No way. I was ready, and this terrain was pretty easy.
Someday, I will learn humility.
Weezy caught up to us, and the three of us moved nicely for miles and miles of muddy river trail. If you've ever run Laurel Valley, this section felt much like that – damp, muddy, and jurassic-like, with the awesome sounds of rushing water and birds, and the huffin' and puffin' of a few ultrarunners gettin' it done.
Weezy and I rolled into mile 25, with me jumping in puddles directly aimed at him, doing my best to soak his annoying ass.
Still having fun.
Powerhouse, Aid Station 4, Mile 32.54
This was the John Muir trail section. It's no exaggeration when I say this might be the most enjoyable time I have ever had running trails. The combination of the calm river section, with the late afternoon sun, running on top of postcard-looking trail, in cool temps – man… it was really nice. I'd like to go back and run that again – or any race that happens to utilize that trail.
At the trailhead, while I stopped to make like a bear in the woods, Li'l Weezy handed me some wet wipes, went on ahead, and I never saw him again.
And there would be no catching him, either.
I rolled into Powerhouse, alone, but still feeling good, with now 50K (32 miles) packed tightly in the bank.
by the way, you two "cheaters" that I saw on the road, and you know who you are, who cut the entire section of trail, should have gone back to where you missed the turn, and completed the course correctly. When I saw you behind me later in the race, I was going to educate you of such, but you never caught me. Guilty conscious, perhaps? I don't know you, or I'd call you out right here, but if you finished, you really didn't, and I hope that annoys you to death.
Sorry for the bit o' negativity, but this acceptance of course-cutting is driving me crazy, and bad for the sport.
I promise you if DeWayne Satterfield, or Dink Taylor, or Rob Youngren, or Sally Brooking, or Janice Anderson, or Rich Schick, or just about any of the ultra legends I've come up with, and respect deeply, ever found themselves in a situation of missing a turn, they'd go back, retrace, and get back on course, and complete the race with integrity. And, if they caught someone course cutting, they'd speak up loudly.
I believe the new school should carry the same level of integrity. K, 'nuff of that…
Coker Falls, Aid Station 5, Mile 39.27
Coker was a long section of trail (felt long, anyway), with quite a bit of climbing, technical trail, and loads of rocks; but, like the section before it, stupid-gorgeous with Western States-like rocky ridges, expansive views into the valleys, and towards the end of the section, crazy-loud water falls with a thundering river.
I knew that all this beautiful single-track was about to come to an end, and I was sad. I can't stand gravel logging roads, and I knew I was about to get served with about 35 miles of it.
Manning Cabin, Aid Station 7, Mile 45.87
This is about where things started to come unglued for me.
I was sick of the constant roller coaster of logging roads. Long ups, and long downs, over and over, in the dark, and aside from my little conversation with Benj that I opened this report with, I was mostly alone.
An idle mind is a bad place in the middle of a hundo.
The best thing about this section was the Aloha aid station at the end of it. They had bacon, and I proudly made a pig of myself.
All I wanted to do was get to mile 50, pick up my pacer Ryan Holler, and have a friend to complain to…
Servilla, Aid Station 8, Mile 50 (yay!)
Getting to this checkpoint was an adventure.
Halfway through the section I hear, "hey boy, what 'chu up to out here?"
I never even saw the dude coming up beside me, nor do I have any idea where he came from, but he was not friendly, and he had a gun. It was holstered, but he had his right hand on it, and he was making it very clear that he had it.
I was rattled a little, but pointed to one of the Rock Creek race flags that designated the course, and said, "I'm doing a race."
He did not seem like he was buying it, and I started to get nervous. I mean, I kind of get it. It was pitch-black. I'm all alone. It's almost midnight. And there is nothing stirring but a few stray dogs. I mean, I'm a big, strong boy, but I'm also a complete mess at the moment – tired, in the dark, stiff – and really just not in the headspace for any kind of altercation, AND certainly not one with a redneck with a revolver.
Luckily, I remember that a dude had come into the aid station behind me a few miles ago, so he likely would be coming up shortly, so I told the guy, "if you don't believe me, there is a guy coming up behind me who will also look like this, and also have a headlamp, and also be running in this race."
He grumbled some stuff I didn't understand, said he'd "remember my face," and then just disappeared into the darkness.
Five minutes later, dude behind me catches up, and I tell him about it, and we both just chalked it up to a over-eager wanna-be playing Sheriff, and continued to move on.
Iron Gap, Aid Station 9, Mile 53.99
Few words for this short section. Good news, I now had my pacer. Bad news, it was a long, very long, 3.1 mile climb, straight up gravel.
Ryan and I just power-hiked the crap out of it while discussing the merits of Jesus.
Bullet Creek, Aid Station 10, Mile 59.09
More of the same.
Up and down gravel. I found myself longing to run single-track, like the first 40 miles. All I could really do was power-hike these gravel roads, and occasionally attempt a very pathetic shuffle when Ryan would make me run.
I don't know anything about race directing, but why, with all this beautiful single-track around, did we have to run on these Mountain Masochist style gravel roads?
I was getting cranky. And slow.
Star Mountain, Aid Station 11, Mile 64.79
Yup, you guessed it, more gravel.
Look at the elevation chart. Just a solid series of ups and downs that hit my race like body blows to a boxer. A methodical beatdown that was breaking me exponentially.
Iron Gap, Aid Station 12, Mile 74.33
By the time we got back this aid station, I was starting to become concerned with my pace, my race attitude, and my feet – all of which were heading south at a rapid pace.
The sun was now up on the second day, and sleep deprivation had me physically spent, mentally scrambled, and emotionally numb.
But I still, even in all this pain and blah, never once contemplated dropping out.
I was determined to fight the demons. I was determined to get that damn buckle.
Hiwassee River, Aid Station 13 & 14, Mile 82-83
I always find miles 75-100 to be the most emotionally trying. It's close enough to know that you will most likely finish, but it's also some of the most brutal miles to endure because you are so banged up and you have a marathon to go – and you know just how far a marathon really is. Plus, notice I said "most likely" finish. I've been pulled at mile 80 before (Western States, 2010) by the medical team, and that was NO FUN AT ALL.
Getting to this aid station, and thus the river crossing, was easily the worst section for me. Ryan knew it, and pretty much left me alone. Just a beat up pudgy dude, covered with tats, all pony-tailed and crawling around the trails of the Hiwassee with grumpy face.
However, once I got to the river crossing, I perked up quite a bit, because:
- The river-crossing, while cold, was an interesting change
- I saw my friend Adam yelling my name from the other side
- The aid station had gobs of bacon and grilled cheese
And once I got across the river with the help of some ropes, my drop bag was waiting for me with nice, comfortable Hoka Stinsons, in which I planned to finish the race.
Getting a moment, even if just a very brief 5 minutes, to see some of my friends, and sit down, and collect myself, was really helpful for my mood and overall race disposition.
This is good, because I was about to need it more than ever.
Oswald Dome, Aid Station 15, Mile 87.51
Dude. Seriously? Who does this?
The next section was a 4-mile climb, straight up, 2,200 feet, with a series of 15 switch-backs that felt like they'd never end. And true to east coast trail running, false summits appeared everywhere, only to find ourselves climbing again, and again.
Perhaps this would have been more entertaining with fresh legs, but with 82 miles wearing o-so-heavy, I wanted to cry – but I didn't – I just put my head down and quietly marched up the damn mountain …in the pouring rain, as was par for the course that day.
As frustrated as I got with the climb, there was no denying the beauty of the early morning lighting, coupled with a bright green, thick and lush forest. It was very primal.
Top the section off with getting mooned by a female runner trying to pee, and I'll pretty much call that section a win!
McCarny Lake, Aid Station 16, Mile 93.29
Once we left Oswald, we were presented with another heapin' helpin' of gravel road; but this time, I was not necessarily opposed because I was whooped from the single-track climbing, and I knew it would be faster. Faster terrain = faster to the finish.
Nothing of any great circumstance happened other than my pacer running circles around me, up and down the mountain, like I was standing still.
Just please get me to the last aid station…
Crawling to the Finish, 100.2 miles
Getting to the last aid station in any race is always a huge relief for me. It's pretty much a guarantee that you are going to finish the race; but in this particular circumstance, I NEVER thought I'd get through this last section.
Aid station volunteers told us 5.8 miles to the finish.
We believed them.
We hammered to try to break 28 hours. I thought I could easily roll in at 27:35 or so, so we ran hard. Harder than I had run over the last 50 miles.
And no finish.
Miles kept clicking off. The watch beeped. Another mile. No finish.
Finally, I had to back-off. I shot myself out over 5 miles of running with all I had left, and I was nowhere near the finish.
I've heard a number of stories now, all very different, about why this happened like this during the final section of the race, but we honestly ran for three more miles before we finally heard the generators and the cheers for runners just a few feet ahead of us. That last section was 8 miles at the very least, and perhaps longer by some measurements.
I was frustrated then, but once I was in a warm car, with a cool buckle in my hand, I no longer cared.
I was no longer frustrated with the long finish, nor the long climb at mile 82 …nor the winding trail that seemed to NEVER deliver me to the water crossing …nor the miles and miles of gravel road.
Nope, once I had that buckle, like all the others, it became the greatest race of all time, and I couldn't wait to talk about with my friends, and share the stories here for those who like to read about such ridiculousness.
I finished the Thunder Rock 100 inaugural race, and dammit, I'm most likely coming back next year.
What Did I Learn?
I always like to come away with some lessons. Here is what I feel like I learned at TR100:
- Sleep deprivation is still my #1 enemy
- I can survive on aid station food alone. I was never hungry
- Two bottles was plenty hydration with 16 aid stations (one might'a worked)
- Pay attention! Getting lost blows
- There are some really cool personalities in our sport
- There are some people with the personality of a tree trunk in our sport
- Randy and Kris put a TON of work into this course planning
- They also know how to find kick-ass volunteers
- Weezy is getting stoopid fast, and light, and with that comes a more mouthy weezle.
- Lastly, I can finish a challenging 100-miler without specificity training – just nowhere near front pack
Yes. I'd like to make some.
(and maybe a li'l meatier buckle, jus' sayin…)
That's all. That's my only suggestion(s). I believe this race would have been the most incredible race ever created had the first 40 miles been the terrain we ran for the entire hundo. IMHO, make the race like that, and there would be nothing even close that would compare in terms of rugged beauty, varying terrain and runner stoke.
I can't say enough about the BMT and John Miur trails. Sometimes, I'd just look around and think to myself, "dude, get over your struggles with God, cuz brother, you cruising right smack dab through his backyard."
Thank you
Thank you, Whortons, for a fine event and for offering us some challenging terrain.
Thank you volunteers for your selflessness, so we could be selfish.
Lastly, thank you Ryan Holler, for being my "safety runner," and Adam J. for simply being Adam J. – if you know him, you get it …if you don't, well, there is not enough Internet to explain this dude.
…and Weezy, bro, I still don't know how you ran that course that fast. As annoying as you are, I humbly bow to your performance. In our little group of friends, you outshined us all. Mad props to the weezle.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo Review
A well-known and well-proven CPU heatsink in the computer world is the Cooler Master Hyper 212+. For those looking for a budget cooler in the < $30 range, the Hyper 212+ is hands down the most recommended model for both price and performance. It's extremely popular across the the entire world and holds the trophy for best bang for the buck in my mind — many other will agree. Taking into consideration the amount of success that the Cooler Master Hyper 212+ has gathered, I'm excited to take a look at Cooler Master's new version of the heatsink: the Hyper 212 Evo. I have always enjoyed Cooler Masters' products due to their simplicity, favor towards function over form, and of course the products' performance.
Though the original Cooler Master Hyper 212+ was heavily praised, many users and ongoing reviews of the cooler threw criticism towards its poor(er) quality base and suffered from large gaps between the heatpipes and the rest of the base. You can find a clear picture of this condition on Page 2 of our 2009 review of the Cooler Master Hyper 212+. These gaps, as explained in this review, trap excess heat and slow the heat transfer in this area tremendously! However, in the recently-released Hyper 212 Evo, Cooler Master introduced a new "technology" deemed CDC — or Continuous Direct Contact. This design change pushes the heatpipes much closer together, eliminating these pesky gaps and increasing the heat transfer capability of the base. The revised base is really the only design change that I can distinguish. There is a difference in the supplied fans; the fan with the Hyper 212+ offers more static pressure at 3.90 mmH2O versus only 2.7mmH2O with the Evo version. However, even though both operate at 2000 RPM the Hyper 212 Evo's fan moves slightly more air at 83CFM versus the 77CFM of the Hyper 212+. I would imagine that static pressure is of less concern on an air cooler (dense fin heatsinks and water cooling radiators enjoy it though) with the likes of the Hyper 212, so I think the Hyper 212 Evo will be a winner by a slight margin.
In this review, I will provide a complete evaluation of the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo from its unboxing, a close-up look of the heatsink, manufacturer-provided specifications, and features to a rigorous test session where its performance will be compared to other heatsinks currently available on the market. Let's get started.
Closer Look:
The packaging of Cooler Master's Hyper 212 Evo is just like that of about every other recent Cooler Master product. It is presented in a rectangular box sporting the white and purple color scheme that Cooler Master proudly wears. "Hyper 212 Evo" is written on every face of the box paired with the teal-green Cooler Master logo. The front of the box has an angle-view picture of the cooler with the fan attached, along with the right side of the box. The left side of the box lists a table of numerical specifications (which I will provide on Page 3) such as its dimensions, weight, fan RPM, socket compatibility, and more. The rear of the box lists only four bulleted features, but in eight different languages (including English of course) and a few wireframe drawings of the cooler at different views with its features dimensioned. Inside of the box, the cooler is housed in a clear plastic clam shell with a plain white cardboard box that contains all of the mounting hardware and thermal paste. The fan is already attached to the cooler.
Included accessories shown above are: universal backplate and mounting crossbars, nuts and screws for its mounting, four rubber dampening pads along with plastic rails and screws in order to attach an optional additional fan, hex tool, thermal paste and the user's manual (not shown). The mounting mechanism on this unit is very simple and appears to be the same as the original Hyper 212+, and shares roots with the mountings of some of Cooler Master's larger offerings. With everything unpacked and out of the box, let's take a closer look at the cooler.

Dementia is a major problem that makes old people vulnerable and forces them to rely on other people to do things for them. It is essential that we provide the necessary support and reassurance to our elders so as not make them feel bad about their health. One of best ways to provide the necessary support on a continued basis is to take the help of a dementia care home in Surrey, Sutton. These nursing homes are not old age homes but specialized centers for providing custodial and medical care to older people besides helping them remain independent for a long time. At St Judes Nursing Home, we provide all the facilities that an old age resident may require. Read on to know about some factors to consider while choosing a dementia home care in Surrey, Sutton.
Why choose us for Dementia Care Homes in South Croydon and Worcester Park
A major consideration while choosing dementia care homes in South Croydon and Worcester Park is ensuring that the staff handles the patients sensitively. Loss of memory and inability to do several things oneself leaves dementia patients highly confused and sensitive. In such a situation it is important that one is not critical of their state of mind and instead tries to make them feel useful. The staff at St Judes Nursing Home is highly professional and well trained to handle older people suffering from dementia. Our center focuses on helping the residents maintain their current memory levels and provide the necessary support for living a reasonably independent life. This is done with the help of a variety of memory aids like putting pictures that help the patients do several tasks independently.
We at St Judes Nursing Home are aware that the level of care required may differ from one dementia resident to another. While some people may require help with even the basic tasks others may need help only in some specialized tasks. Our staff keeps a regular check on the assistance requirements of our residents and provides the necessary care accordingly.
A good dementia care home in Surrey, Sutton needs to ensure that their resident eat healthy and remain fit. It is quite common amongst dementia patients to not recognize foods, forget what food they like to eat, resist being fed, asking for strange combinations or forgetting that they have already eaten. Our expert staff handles such situations carefully and gently.
We at St Judes nursing home are aware of the fact that dementia patients are upset and frustrated with the decline in their mental abilities. Our staff works to make them more secure by creating a relaxed environment, developing a regular daily routine and providing the necessary help in following that routine. Good dementia care homes in South Croydon and Worcester Park develop specialized activities for their patients to keep them happy and content at this stage in our life. Our nursing home has a full time activity coordinator who oversees the social life of the residents and tries to keep them busy via a number of activities. Regular outdoor trips to points of interest and regular games, crafts and other hobby classes are conducted to keep the residents engaged and happy. Other activities that are undertaken to keep our residents busy movie shows three times a week, access to Skype, a smoking area and several quiet sections for relaxing.
Our daily newsletter Daily Sparkle comes with information about various activities conducted over the years on that particular day with a section on quiz and sing-a long for the benefits of our patients. Our beautifully landscaped gardens enjoy residents to relax in the lap of nature and forget their medical and emotional troubles. Our specially designed care facilities will not make you feel guilty about leaving your elders in the hands of a dementia care home in Surrey, Sutton..

U.S. stocks rose, sending the Standard & Poor's 500 Index to a record for the eighth time in nine days, amid improving confidence in the world's largest economy. Industrial metals fell on concern about China's growth.
The S&P 500 added 1% to 1,650.34 at 4 p.m. in New York after the Shanghai Composite Index lost 1.1%. Copper slid more than 2% to lead commodities lower and oil extended its longest slump of the year. The yen dropped 0.4% at a four-year low of 102.26 per dollar. Ten-year Treasury yields erased earlier losses and rose five basis points to 1.97%, the highest level since March. The Dollar Index, a gauge of the currency against six major peers, added 0.4% to the highest level since July.
U.S. equity index futures erased losses before the open of exchanges in New York as David Tepper, the billionaire who runs Appaloosa Management Inc., told CNBC he's still bullish and the economy is getting better. A report showed confidence among U.S. small businesses climbed in April to a six-month high as the outlook for the economy and sales brightened.
"We have had a melt-up with a lot of money chasing risk assets and driving stock prices up," Allan Flader, a senior vice president at RBC Wealth Management, said in a phone interview from Phoenix. His firm oversees $235 billion. "I'm not saying the fundamentals aren't getting better, the economic numbers are improving. But we just see that reach for yield, combined with the government backing the economy, and that's helping markets in the near term."
U.S. Market
S&P 500 futures and global stocks fell before the open of exchanges on concern global growth will slow. China's economy will probably expand 7.6% this year, down from an earlier forecast of 7.8%, JPMorgan Chase & Co. said in a report, citing weak domestic demand. Data today showed German investor confidence rose less than analysts predicted in May while euro- area industrial output beat forecasts in March.
The S&P 500 has rallied almost 16% this year and has extended its rebound from its bear-market low in 2009 to almost 144%.
"We think that it's time to take a little off the table," New York-based Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets, said in a Bloomberg Television interview today. His year-end forecast for the S&P 500 is 1,575, 3.6% below yesterday's close. "Markets aren't linear for long, we could see a bit of a pullback," he said. "This isn't about just seasonality, it's about a softening overall."

The 76ers traded Jrue Holiday to New Orleans for Pelicans first-round Nerlens Noel and the New Orleans' 2014 first-round. The Sixers will also send this season's 42d overall draft pick with Holiday.
Noel, a center out of Kentucky, was the sixth overall draft pick in Thursday's NBA draft.
"Jrue is shocked," Holiday's agent Tony Dutt told Yahoo! "He understands it as business as well. He's OK. It is what it is. Something we didn't expect."
The Sixers also added Michael Carter-Williams with their 11th pick of the first round. Carter-Williams was a Syracuse point guard. Carter-Williams and Noel are both from Massachusetts and very good friends.

COLUMBUS – Real Salt Lake and the Columbus Crew played a heated match on a frigid night Tuesday, ending in a scoreless draw in the first leg of their two-game, aggregate goal CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal series.
The Crew ended the match with 10 players and RSL with just nine after Columbus forward Emilio Renteria and Real Salt Lake defender Nat Borchers exchanged elbows in the 72nd minute, easily the most physical of a testy first match of 2011 for both teams.
Those ejections followed a second yellow card to RSL's Tony Beltran in the 53rd minute. None of the three players are eligible to play in the decisive series finale, March 1 at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah.
The match-time temperature was 25 degrees with a wind chill of 19, but the only snow in sight was plowed off the field earlier in the day. Still, sections of the stands and areas of the concourse were closed because of ice, and a yellow ball was used before a hearty crowd of 4,665.
RSL played the final 37 minutes down a man after Beltran was issued a caution for his challenge on the Crew's Eddie Gaven. In the 43rd minute Beltran went hard into Emmanuel Ekpo for his first booking.
Surprisingly, however, it was Real Salt Lake who had the first scoring chance after Beltran hit the showers. Striker Alvaro Saborio drove the ball just outside the right post from 18 yards in for perhaps the team's best chance of an otherwise sluggish night for head coach Jason Kreis' offensive-minded group.
Columbus, meanwhile, had to be happy with the opening 45 minutes, considering they went without defenders Shaun Francis and Chad Marshall and used recently signed backup Raymond Burse in goal.
The upstart Crew were the aggressor with the first attempt on goal coming in the third minute, as new right back Sebastian Miranda sent a cross into the box that forward Andres Mendoza half-volleyed over the bar.
Soon after it was the midfielder Ekpo's turn to miss, with a strike that sailed into the stage at the north end of the stadium.
RSL didn't give Burse much to do all night, although Fabian Espindola got free inside the penalty area to receive a service from Chris Wingert that he headed well off the target in the fifth minute.
It was left to the Crew to produce the first shot on goal in the 19th minute, when a Mendoza heel flick at the top of the box led Renteria down the right. Rentería drove the ball low, but RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando was in perfect position for the play, and also grabbed a long free kick by Gaven in the 44th minute.
Despite Beltran's ejection, the Crew failed to crack an RSL defense that was the best in MLS last season and did their part again this time. The Crew managed just one shot on goal in the match while RSL went without an attempt on target.
RSL also failed to take a corner kick in the match, which was bogged down a bit by the time the match turned testy and Borchers and Rentería were both ejected midway through the second half.

twitter and facebook
definitely facebook is my top one.
Then twitter.
Then Pinterest! My Fave!
My biggest traffic is from facebook, and sometimes twitter. I am just now tring StumpleUpon, but it looks confusing. Honestly, most of my traffic comes from doing linkies on other blogs.
I have been using Facebook, twitter & You Tube. (Known to social media experts at a combo of the 3 names, 'Tou Twit face' LOL. After reading this post I will sign up for My space Plurk & Stumble up on, thank you ! I also recommend blog hopping, I am quite new to this but is has found me new followers this week. Happy days. Feel free to join us at:
Tarryn xx
I've no idea.. I just blog away.
I do have a giveaway at the moment for MyMemories Suite. check out http://fonmee.blogspot.com
Depending if your talking about consistent traffic
If your talking about a max traffic surge I'd say StumbleUpon
Twitter offers steady traffic for me.
Facebook not really
thank you for sharing this, it varies for my blog. Most of the time I really have to promote my blog each day to communities like this because I don't share my blog to my facebook friends.
I'll try to join stumbleupon.
Twitter has been a great resource,but I also have a facebook page which directs people my way.
I haven't tried stumble upon
Hi everyone,
I think Twitter reaches so many people in just 140 characters. It is such a great social networking site. Sometimes we are all too busy to work on any social networks ourselves. I know because I offer these services for others. If you'd like more information, please sign up for my newsletter here: http://eepurl.us1.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=65175284c4f81e75204d8...
Happy Networking!!

Amcor Wins Johnson & Johnson Sustainability Award
Amcor Ltd., a global leader in responsible packaging solutions, has been awarded a 2012 Supplier
Sustainability Award from Johnson & Johnson (J&J), a leading multi-national manufacturer of pharmaceutical, diagnostic, therapeutic, surgical, and biotechnology products. Amcor Rigid Plastics, the world's leading producer of rigid plastic containers, and Amcor Flexibles, the world's largest suppliers of flexible packaging, were jointly recognized for their overall sustainability efforts and targeted activities as a leading supplier to J&J.
Amcor was one of seven award winners in the worldwide competition held by J&J. The company has a global supply base of over 100,000 companies: from this group, Amcor was one of 43 suppliers that were nominated for the Sustainability award. J&J made the award presentation during its global procurement meeting October 23 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in New Brunswick, N.J.
"Our emphasis on sustainability is a major focus of our business and we are extremely proud to be recognized by J&J for our targeted efforts in this area," said David Clark, Amcor's Vice President of Safety and Sustainability. "This award reaffirms our commitment to providing innovative and responsible packaging solutions that protect the many resources invested in products and reduce waste throughout the supply chain."
The award recognizes J&J suppliers that value and share a serious commitment to sustainability, according to the company. The nominees were evaluated on a range of environmental, social and economic criteria, including energy use and reduction, water use and reduction, waste reduction, workforce injury/illness reduction, workforce wellness, and community/human rights investment. Amcor was recognized for its efforts in all six sustainability areas, related to its supply of absorbable suture packaging, polypropylene cups, flexible foil, PET bottles, and catheter, orthopaedic, and Sterrad pouches utilized by J&J's MDD businesses. As an example, Amcor developed a PET bottle with 50% and 100% FDA grade post-consumer recycled (PCR) content. The 50% PCR bottle results in nearly a 20% carbon footprint reduction compared to the 100% virgin PET bottle. Other examples include the optimization of several flexible packaging solutions, where improved design as well as improvements in the manufacturing processes led to a reduction of carbon footprint and other life cycle impacts in the range of 15-20%.
Amcor Rigid Plastics, based in Ann Arbor, Mich., and Amcor Flexibles, based in Zurich, Switzerland, supply plastic packaging to J&J from global production sites in the U.S., South America, and Western Europe. Amcor Rigid Plastics produces HDPE bottles, PET bottles, and PP caps/vials while Amcor Flexibles manufactures plastic foil, film, pouches, lids, and labels.

text: Supreme Court Nears "Defining Moment" NAMI Seeks Middle Ground Between "Cruel And Harmful" Extremes For People With Mental Illnesses Apr 20 1999 Arlington, VA - Tomorrow, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case of Olmstead v. L.C. and E.W. (No.98-536), in which the State of Georgia is appealing an 11th Circuit federal court of appeals decision that held the institutionalization of two women with mental illness and mental retardation to be discriminatory under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). Lower courts have found that institutional placements are a violation of the law when treating professionals agree that the needs of specific individuals can be met in "more integrated" community settings. "The Supreme Court is approaching a defining moment," said Laurie Flynn, executive director of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI), the nation's largest grassroots advocacy organization for people with mental illnesses, which along with the American Psychiatric Association (APA) has filed an amici curiae ("friends of the court") brief in support of the women. "This is the kind of case that comes only once in a generation and may influence the treatment of individuals with severe mental illnesses for many decades to come." NAMI and the APA agree that institutionalization is discriminatory and in violation of the ADA unless medical professionals consider it necessary. "Living in a community setting is for most people essential to pursuit of a full range of life opportunities," the brief declares. At the same time, the two organizations are encouraging the Supreme Court to seek a middle ground in its interpretation of the law: "An extreme position in either direction can be cruel and harmful to the individuals whose interests are at stake," the amici brief warns. "On the one hand, isolation from the community, when not justified by the individual's needs, is undoubtedly a serious deprivation for the individuals…On the other hand, relegation to the exposure of an insufficiently protective environment, when such protection is needed may be dangerous and destructive for the individual, as well as for society, in undercutting the objectives of the ADA. Sweeping global pronouncements are out of place." NAMI and APA together note that the law allows Georgia to assert that provision of community services would "fundamentally alter" the nature of its mental health system. However, they have urged the Supreme Court not to accept such a defense without strong evidence and justification. "The nature of the balance contemplated by Congress--between short-term costs and long-term saving, in a statute indisputably ambitious in its intended effect--is not a matter properly examined in the abstract," NAMI and APA argue. The brief notes that the cost of care or treatment in community settings may be less than or comparable to those in institutions. Although higher "fixed" costs per person may result for institutions as individuals are transferred into community settings, the organizations argue that states must take into account "the possibilities of consolidating facilities, sharing staffs, instituting mixed uses of facilities, and adopting other measures that might materially reduce the costs of change." "Olmstead is about the reasonableness of a presumption to require integration," explained NAMI's legal director, Ron Honberg. "It is the equivalent of Brown v. Board of Education for people with mental illnesses. The Supreme Court does not need to rule in this instance whether necessary changes in services in Georgia require a fundamental alteration of the state's mental health system. The choice is not necessarily between institutionalization that is inappropriate on the one hand and complete deinstitutionalization on the other. We hope the Court will reject extremes."

Finding a veterinarian in Anna Maria
This directory of veterinarians in Anna Maria contains animal doctors and Anna Maria animal hospitals for veterinarian medicine. It provides a good starting point for finding a Anna Maria vet, including a holistic veterinarian.
Some vets are better with one type of pet over another or some personalities over others. You want a vet whose personality works well with you and your animal. Other sources of recommendations for Anna Maria veterinarians includes dog breeders or the local animal shelter, friends who have pets, or animal obedience trainers. Ask those that you know take good care of their pets and you will likely get the best recommendations.
One of the first questions you should ask is whether this Anna Maria vet is available in emergencies, and if so, how can you contact him. If he is not available, does he have a suggestion for emergency care? It may be that your area has an emergency animal hospital nearby. It is critically important to have this information on hand in an emergency when minutes may count.
The best way to find a good veterinarian is to ask people who have the same approach to pet care as you. Start with a recommendation from a friend, neighbor, animal shelter worker, dog trainer, groomer, boarding kennel employee, or pet sitter.
No one likes to discuss money up-front, but it may be an important consideration as well. Ask the veterinarian for routine services like check-ups or vaccinations. Does he accept major credit cards? Will he allow you to make payments if your pet requires an expensive surgery or treatment?

Scott Catlin has been appointed associate vice president for innovation and technology commercialization. He will oversee the Office of Technology Transfer at the University of Rochester.
"Scott Catlin's breadth of knowledge, expertise, and corporate experience will serve us well and advance the mission of the Office of Technology Transfer," said Robert Clark, interim senior vice president for research.
Catlin is currently legal section head for Abbott Medical Optics Inc. in Santa Ana, Calif., where he managed a team of 18 attorneys and support staff. Catlin earned his B.S. in optical engineering at the University of Rochester in 1992, graduating summa cum laude. Three years later, he graduated cum laude from the University of Notre Dame Law School with his Juris Doctorate. He is registered to practice before the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office and is a member of the Licensing Executives Society and American Intellectual Property Association.
"I look forward to building bridges between the University's researchers and the commercial world," said Catlin. "The goal is to turn the University's cutting-edge innovation into products and services that benefit patients, society and the environment, while also helping to create jobs in the local community."
The Office of Technology Transfer is responsible for protecting the University's intellectual property and facilitating the commercialization of technologies. The separate technology transfer offices at the University of Rochester Medical Center and the River Campus were combined last December into one operation.
"Ensuring that our technologies have the best chance of getting out to the market for public use is an important part of our University mission," said Gail Norris, vice president and general counsel. "The consolidation of our technology transfer operations in one location and under one new leader is going to be great for the University and this mission."
Catlin served as division counsel for intellectual property at Abbott Medical Optics, managing all aspects of intellectual property development, protection, and enforcement. He also worked in a start-up company and as a management consultant for Bain & Company. Before starting his career in the private sector, Catlin spent four years in the U.S. Air Force as assistant staff judge advocate (JAG) where he was a criminal prosecutor and investigated cases of medical malpractice and aircraft mishaps.
Catlin, who begins his new role at the University on March 1, will report directly to the senior vice president for research.

Flexible Low Loss Communications Coax
Ideal for
LMR-240 Ultra coaxial cable provides excellent performance, but yet is under 0.25 inch in diameter. It is the same size as RG-8X, but with better specifications. Because of its stranded center conductor, it is very flexible. We also carry the regular LMR-240.
LMR® standard is a UV Resistant Polyethylene jacketed
cable designed for 20-year service outdoor use. The
bending and handling characteristics are significantly better
than air-dielectric and corrugated hard-line cables.
Flexibility and bendability are hallmarks of the LMR-
240 cable design. The flexible outer conductor enables
the tightest bend radius available for any cable of similar
size and performance.
Low Loss is another hallmark feature of LMR-240.
Size for size LMR has the lowest loss of any flexible cable
and comparable loss to semirigid hard-line cables.
RF Shielding is 50 dB greater than typical single
shielded coax (40 dB). The multi-ply bonded foil outer
conductor is rated conservatively at > 90 dB (i.e. >180
dB between two adjacent cables).
Weatherability: LMR-240 cables designed for
outdoor exposure incorporate the best materials for UV
resistance and have life expectancy in excess of 20 years.

Driver arrested for manslaughter, negligent homicide in Laconia fatal crash
By PAT GROSSMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
LACONIA – A woman is under arrest, charged with negligent homicide and manslaughter in connection with a crash last April that killed a 14-year-old school girl and seriously injured a second student, both standing on a sidewalk at a crosswalk.
Amy C. Lafond, 52, of Laconia, turned herself in to police Wednesday.
The April 19 crash happened about 2:30 p.m. at the intersection of Messer and Opechee streets and at a time when students were leaving the nearby Laconia Middle School.
Lilyanna "Lily" Johnson, 14, died from her injuries after being airlifted to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon. Alyssa Miner, also 14, was seriously injured but recovered. Both attended the middle school.
Capt. Matt Canfield said the parents of both children were satisfied with the charges brought in the case.
Lafond was arraigned in 4th Circuit Court, Laconia District Division, on the negligent homicide and manslaughter charges as well as charges of second-degree assault; possession of oxycodone; possession of the prescription drug Gabapentin, used to treat epilepsy and sometimes for pain; speeding; crossing a yellow line, and failing to stop for a person in a crosswalk, although Canfield said the teens were standing on the sidewalk at the crosswalk and had not yet entered it when they were hit.
The manslaughter charges accuse Lafond of recklessly causing Johnson's death by driving while distracted, speeding and after consuming drugs.
The negligent homicide charge alternately alleges Lafond negligently caused Johnson's death by failing to maintain a proper lookout.
A police affidavit, filed in support of the arrest warrant and detailing what happened, was sealed by the court, Canfield said.
Police said the two girls were hit by Lafond's Jeep that "suddenly veered" around another car stopped at the Messer Street crosswalk.
Capt. Matthew Canfield said the driver of the first car thought some students were about to cross the street and stopped at the crosswalk at the Opechee Street intersection.
The Jeep came up behind the stopped car and veered around it on the left, crossing over the southbound lane and hitting the two girls, Canfield said. It then hit a guardrail, veered back over the two lanes and landed on the curb on the northbound side of the road.
The tragedy prompted the Laconia City Council to approve installation of flashing lights at that intersection, warning drivers of the school zone.
Lafond is being held in the Belknap County jail on $30,000 cash bail and $5,000 personal recognizance bail. A probable cause hearing is set for 8:30 a.m. on Oct. 3.
Previous story follows:
– A woman is under arrest, charged with negligent homicide and manslaughter in connection with a crash last April that killed a 14-year-old school girl.
Amy C. Lafond, 52, turned herself in to police just before 8 a.m. Wednesday on an arrest warrant stemming from the April 19 fatal motor vehicle collision.
The 2:30 p.m. crash occurred at the intersection of Messer and Opechee streets at the time of dismissal at the nearby Laconia Middle School.
Lilyanna Johnson, 14, died from injuries she suffered in the crash, while 14-year-old Alyssa Miner also was seriously injured.
Police said they arrested Lafond after a very lengthy and exhaustive investigation.
She is also charged with second-degree assault and other offenses.
Police are holding a news conference this morning at 11 a.m. to provide other details.

Syfy has released the first 15 minutes of its new "Helix" online to give fans a taste of the thriller from "Battlestar Galactica" mastermind Ronald D. Moore.
"Helix" tells the story of a team of scientists from the Centers for Disease Control investigating a possible outbreak at a research facility in the Arctic. When the team arrives, they quickly learn that some weird science has been going on.
The series offers many familiar tropes, but manages to spin them into something completely horrifying and suspenseful. Each discovery brings new questions, which makes for great viewing. For my money, it's the most engaging show Syfy has done in quite some time.
Billy Campbell plays lead CDC scientist Alan Farragut. Other cast members include Kyra Zagorsky as Dr. Julia Walker, Jordan Hayes as Dr. Sarah Jordan, Hiroyuki Sanada as Dr. Hiroshi Hatake, Catherine Lemieux as Dr. Doreen Boyle, Neil Napier as Dr. Peter Farragut, Mark Ghanime as Major Sergio Balleseros and Meegwun Fairbrother as Daniel Aerov.
"Helix" preimieres at 9 p.m. Jan. 10 on Syfy.

Following a discussion with my HOD, he is keen to undertake a unit of study of the Titantic. I have had some ideas and begun planning a series of lessons but would really appreciate some input from fellow colleagues. My HOD will be pressing me for plans etc before Easter!
Posted 28 March 2012 - 09:50 PM
This is the best place to start out. I use most of the resources from here. We also watch the programme "Seconds from disaster - The Titanic". Our assessment is "Whose fault was the sinking of the Titanic?" but this also includes "Why were so many killed on the Titanic?" We generally let students present their findings in any way they choose and have had some excellent films, powerpoints, posters etc etc... I've got model Titanics on my wall, posters all over the place and for homeworks my students researched and designed their own titanic menus, researched the lives of the people on the ship and their fates, used old newspapers to find out about the ship (The Mirror said most people had survived in its' first editions etc). Hope this is of some use.
Go pray in my church!

Just a thought... if you are within travelling distance (arr 10 leave at 2...)
Posted 30 March 2012 - 07:52 AM
The new Titanic section on the National Archives website is brilliant. It includes a searchable passenger list so that you can identify local people. It also has lots of detailed articles on people involved in the tragedy including fascinating stories like Violet Jessop who survived the sinking of both the Titanic and its sister ship Britannic (and was on the third, Olympic, when it hit a Royal Navy ship in the Solent). We have had pupils researching local links-for example the strange coincidence that both the hero of the hour, Captain Arthur Rostron of the Carpathia and the vilified Captain Stanley Lord of the Californian came from Bolton in Lancashire, hardly one of Britain's major seafaring towns.
Yet it shouldn't be a surprise, Britain's seafarers, apart from fishermen, were never limited to the coast. Most Merchant Navy Officers are from "the land" rather than "the coast". Marine Engineers tended, historically, to have been from places where shipbuilding was important, as they served their time as Marine Engine fitters in shipyards before going to sea, but the Deck Officers came from everywhere. Indeed, in the house where I live in rural Cambridgeshire a Master Mariner was once resident (in about 1900) and there is a Mate buried in the cemetery 100 yards along the road.

Skip to comments.Who are Americas allies in the Balkans?
Posted on 01/09/2012 10:58:41 AM PST by Ravnagora
A new set of issues for Christians in Southeastern Europe has arisen, largely as a result of misdirected policies of the Clinton/Albright and successive Washington administrations.
Believe it or not, Christmas Carols in the Washington Embassy of Romania which, once-upon-a-time, was the instrument of a strident Stalinist-style government that was overthrown in 1990! I say once-upon-a-time because, though not so long ago, it seemed to me like a fairy-tale.
There we were, about seventy invited guests, in the upstairs reception Hall of the Embassy, where a 4-man Brass Quartette from a Romanian Baptist church in Virginia presented a concert of about fifteen traditional western Christmas carols, introduced by their pastor with, as well, greetings from two pastors from Virginia Baptist churches. December 19, 2011 was a memorable evening.
The lone Romanian carol, in which about half of the audience who were native Romanian speakers joined, was deeply moving, especially the two-sentence typical Balkan liturgical refrain.
Though harshly persecuted under the Communist regime, Baptists became the largest Protestant body in Romania, with some of their 1800 churches having membership in excess of 1,000. They number more than 100,000 communicants and are the third largest Baptist body in Europe. In addition there are at least 10,000 Hungarian Baptists in their own nearly 300 Hungarian speaking churches. Other rapidly growing evangelical bodies include Pentecostals, Reformed churches, Adventists, plus various independent groups.
While Christian faith is being secularized and marginalized in much of Western Europe and the United Kingdom, evangelical growth and the revitalization of Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism in countries where persecution under Communism was severe is striking, especially among younger members of those populations who are turning away from the cynicism and despair of their elders.

This paid off for the Croats when the Serbs tried to hold on to big chunks of territory. Eventually the US and the Germans retrained the Croat military with an eye towards defeating a Warszaw Pact style force, and they kicked the Serbs' butts. Serbia is still a lot like Russia, saying the right things but there's still too many politicians who miss the days of empire. The Croats and Slovenes are solidly in our camp.
Potential allies would be most anyone who is NOT a muslim.
When it comes to Allies we will have none if push comes to shove. An' dats a fact!
One of Americas most colossal blunders
January 8, 2012
Thank you for publishing Who are Americas allies in the Balkans?, January 4. History will show us that one of Americas most colossal blunders was made when US leaders betrayed Serbia, one of our WWI and WWII staunchest allies by supporting the whole-scale persecution, ethnic cleansing, and slaughter of Serbian Orthodox Christians and theft of their ancestral lands that they have inhabited for over 1300 years at the hands of Muslim and other fascist extremists.
Many American leaders say publicly that they support freedom and tolerance for all but in fact support the persecution of Christians (e.g. in Kosovo) which not only supports a more unstable and dangerous world in places such as the Middle East and the Balkans but has caused significant blowback from which we are still suffering here in the West.
What is even more shocking is that US leaders have aligned themselves with precisely the same fascist forces that Americans and Canadians fought so brutally a mere 70 years ago during WWII.
Michael Pravica, Ph.D
Henderson, NV
Many Romanians would argue that Romania is not a Balkan country.
There are no allies, only interests.
Croatians don't even consider themselves as Slavs.
Not quite, after Tito died everyone knew it was going to breakup, it was just a matter of who got what at what point. Serbia wanted Kosovo back in its fold after Tito disallowed the ethnically cleansed Serbs of WWII to return and since Albanian violence against Serbs was going on unimpeded, there were loud calls for Belgrade to intervene in order to prevent the whole sale murder of the Serbian populace.
Not only did Tito relocate Serbian businesses to other parts of Yugoslavia but also intentionally separated large swaths of Serbian populated areas in order to weaken Serbia politically.
To call Croatia "firmly" in our camp is tenuous, Croatia looks out for Croatian interests.
"Mohammed is God's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless
to the unbelievers but merciful to one another" - Quran 48:29
Infidels: freepmail me if you want on or off this list.
"The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets,
the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers."
"Serbia is still a lot like Russia, saying the right things but there's still too many politicians who miss the days of empire."
You mean the empire the Allies awarded them after WWI for fighting on their side, then forced them to give up in the early 1990s.
Yes, you are correct in that regard.
By the way, there are many in England who would argue that England is not a part of Europe..."Europe is across the channel" as some would say.
Who was in control of the JNA in December of 1990?...Do you know?
