Seniors Taylor Youell and Alex McNabb advanced to the 2013 West Virginia State AA-A Tennis championship finals Friday in dramatic fashion.
Seniors Taylor Youell and Alex McNabb advanced to the 2013 West Virginia State AA-A Tennis championship finals Friday in dramatic fashion. Youell won a momentum shifting 6-2, 2-6, 7-5 decision over Charleston Catholic's Christian Centofani in the championship semifinals of No. 2 Singles Friday at the Charleston CatholcTennis Complex. Youell breezed to a 6-2 win in the opening set, only to have things go south in the second set, losing 6-2. In the third and deciding set, down a match point at 4-5, Youell fought back to hold serve for 5-5, broke Centofani for a 6-5 lead and then won the match 7-5 in a matathon moon ball service game. Youell will face familiar for Olivia Haught of Ritchie County in the championship final Saturday at Schoenbaum Tennis Center in Kanawha City. In Ni. 1 Doubles, the duo of Alex McNabb and Youell made quick work of No. 4 seeds Alastanos/McKee of Bridgeport, 8-1, in a 8 a.m. match Friday. And then won a dramatic championship semifinals match over Spurlock/Juszczak of Oak Glen in the the Charleston YMCAa, where play was moved after thunderstorms pounded the Charleston area. McNabb/Youell had to endure a long delay prior to their match, but rolled to a 6-3 win in the opening set. They led 2-1 and 4-3 before the Oak Glen duo rallied to lead 5-4 on a service break. The teams then exchanged service breaks the next three games to force a tiebreaker at 6-6. In that 12-point tiebreaker, Ravenswood forged a mini-break at 2-1 and led 4-1. Oak Glen closed to 4-2, but McNabb and Youell then closed out the match by winning three straight points for the 7-2 breaker and a 6-3, 7-6 (7-2) victory. They will face No, 2 seed Claire Hamilton and Danielle Sadd of Charleston Catholic (who dismissed Ritchie County's Veronica Mueller and Olivia Haught) for the state championship Saturday at Schoenbaum. At No. 3 Singles, junior Bess McNabb battled, but fell in the championship semifinals 6-1, 6-4 to Allie Lamm of Bridgeport. McNabb finished as a state semifinalist.

Dealing with the pain of a past life

Does anyone else have this problem or any advice as to how I could fix it?

The problem is that I feel homesick for a place I've probably never been to. I feel displaced and just...in the wrong era, so to speak. It's this inexplicable heartache for a time long past and people who've passed on that I never returned home to.
It's kind of like the traditional "ghost problem." The spirit died before they were ready to do so and they are trapped because they can't let go of the fact that they are dead. They didn't want to be dead and they don't want to move on.

Ask yourguarardian angel for help. We all have one. Yours has the name Morrwah. Angels don't have names like we do, so this is a very phonetic spelling and I'm afraid it's the closest I can get to it.
Be very specific about what you want help with. They do not find anything too small or ridiculous.

I hope you find this helpful.

Ok...let try to keep this on topic please.
This is a difficult topic to explain, but to sum it all up, I lived a previous life as a soldier in the American Civil War, but I died before I was ready to. Nowadays, in the present, I fall into periods of depression and longing for a place I've never been to. The scent of a campfire, a muddy river, dry leaves, humid but overcast days, the plaintive note of a fiddle, the steady cadence of a drum....all those things can take me instantly from a good mood and make me cry.
Does anyone else have this problem or any advice as to how I could fix it?

Perhaps at some poit you "saw" a camp in a military moie, maybe you were only a chaild at the time. The vision isimplanted, along with certain impressions. Maybe the soldiers were relaxing around the fire, after or before the battle. Thus a feeling of calm might have been imaprted by the scene. Now anytime any of these triggers occur, subconciously it brings back the feelings associated with that scene.
Of course that is just one of many possible trigger scenarios. Without knowing all the details of your life it would be impossible to determine exactly what event is serving as the trigger, or what effects that trigger may bring about. I am simply giving an alternative that what you experience does not indicate any past life experience.

One speculation in the article is that, a "stressful death" creates a "consciousness bundle" that can "imprint" on a fetus. This "stress created" "consciousness bundle" is NOT actually the person, just a "imprint" of part of their Psyche/Consciousness.
These children give very detailed facts at 6 or 7, but almost all seem to remember nothing by the age of 10, The "imprint" fades with time. Interesting Theory!
In my "opinion" this seems more reasonable, than actually "being" the same person, in a new body.

A) the owner wants to sell it

...nope - the owner can keep it (if they want money, you know they can get loans against it -- right?) and for some teams like Anaheim that Forbes estimates lost $10 million a year -- what we don't see is that overall the team has appreciated over $17 million a year. So "losing" money many not really be true if one looks holistically at the franchise.
you can look at it however you want (as you clearly already know), but you're very disconnected from how a business owner would look at it. if you sink a large chunk of your fortune into a business that's in the red in any given year, but think it's ok because you'll just sell it one day, then great. but in this premise, you most definitely do not represent the mindset of a franchise owner. their standards are that they see a business that can appreciate AND put money in the bank in the mean time. so they're going to pursue their options (as we're seeing right now with the lockout). so what are you saying?
and another thing to consider...al davis. george steinbrenner. jerry buss. the mara family. the rooney family.
successful, iconic franchise owners. they all saw their asset appreciate beyond their wildest dreams. and you know what they did? either held onto it until they were in their grave or passed it down to their kids. this idea of a franchise being an investment isn't the rule.
i don't even know what you're doing with this thinking, honestly. you're presenting yourself as someone who knows better than the owners themselves - elite businessmen and negotiators. and you're not the only one doing it. that has baffled me throughout this thread.

Theres nothing trivial about Durangos various trivia nights.
This week, I undertook the mammoth task of attending three trivia nights in three days, and while my brain is feeling the effects of all the stretching, it was great fun. People who love competition, are energized by thinking and deducing and enjoy a good laugh have plenty to choose from in Durango.
If its Tuesday, it must be Ska Brewing World Headquarters at 225 Girard St. in Bodo Park. Starting at 6 p.m., my colleague from the Herald, Arts and Entertainment Editor Ted Holteen, holds court over Super Teds Trivia Night, the largest (25 teams) and arguably the most difficult although all of them are challenging of the events I attended. (Note: This is the only one I had attended before the project, which gave me the idea.)
Holteen is a trivia expert himself and is definitely the grandmaster host in town. He began hosting trivia contests during his years at KDUR-FM in the 1990s and has hosted at Ska for the last three years. He takes summers off to play softball.
Holteens questions range across categories, with one Name that Tune music round of 10 questions put together by his friend Bryant Liggett, three rounds of eight general category questions, and a bonus round of 20 questions on a single theme that can break a winning streak or make up for an abysmal evening of competition depending on the theme chosen. Previous themes have included naming the cities where various prominent people were assassinated, the make of various model of cars and the musicals from whence various songs come. On Tuesday, the final was to name the colleges where famous athletes began their careers.
Sample questions: 1. What vegetable is served with steak Oscar? 2. What is the arch over a stage called? and 3. What prominent Americans father was the captain of the New Jersey police who investigated the Lindbergh baby kidnapping?
(Answers to all questions posed are included at the end of the column.)
Team WWW which is named for the three members of the Winkworth clan who form its core, Peggy and Howie Winkworth and their son Mark, along with Scott Dehnisch and Stan Parks had a perfect final round in the category of naming which colleges various star athletes had attended. That brings us to question 4: Roger Clemens and Mary Lou Retton. WWWs score? 44 points.
In second place, Los Jefes Aaron Sinberg, Janet Spear, Justin Erickson, Jarrod Regan and Jeff Leith had 43 points. Third place went to the Charlie Team, Shay Lopez, Scott Dye, Dan Garner and Jeff Wollenberg, with 41 points. The fourth-place finishers were The Rest of Us. This group, which scored 40 points, preferred to remain mysterious geniuses.
My team, the Poor Choices, came in with a respectable 38 points.
As befits a craft brewery, the top four places go home with their choice of Ska beers, with the champions enjoying a case.
Wednesdays Pub Quiz is held at the Irish Embassy Pub (12 teams) with host John Hise, a literacy coach at Escalante Middle School. Hes been hosting for about 1½ years, and has a geographical challenge with the ups and downs of the cubbies at the pub. This crowd is heavily weighted toward the under-30 crowd, and lets just say imbibing can limit a teams scoring ability.
Hises competition includes five rounds of five questions each, with some sort of loose underlying theme. On Wednesday, it was the letter F, with the categories of Crossword Clues F, Firsts, Fungi, Fast Food and France.
Sample questions: 5. What president lit the first National Christmas Tree in 1923? 6. What is Henri Matisses style of painting called? 7. What is the study of fungi called?
Teams are allowed to double their points in a round by starring it if they think theyve done well, and teams can also win points by taking a mutual shot of Jameson, Absolut or some other potent potable off the shotski. The winning team that evening was Two Ryans and One Pint Glass, who won after breaking a tie of 25 points with a think-off and a drink-off versus Kids Your Parents Warned You About, My Girlfriend Doesnt Wrestle, But ... and Just the Tips. Winning team members included Ryan Owens, a sportswriter at the Herald, Ryan McCardell, Oscar Palacios Jr. (who was also celebrating his birthday), Carl Delacatio and Dara Blackmore. They quaffed their prize of a bottle of champagne at the pub.
The Kids, meanwhile won the Irish Embassy Pubs generous $100 gift card as the monthly winners. They are Taylor Hanchulak, Brendan Lararski, Cade Levinson, Travis Holeman, Pat Brennan, Arrit Navaraj, Tim Fletcher and Connor McGooch.
I played solo and scored 23 points, so no shame there.
And Thursdays, its the newest of the trivia night offerings. This one at the Durango Discovery Museum, starting about 6 p.m. Host Brett Cadwell, who doubles as the finance officer for the museum, spends up to eight hours a week crafting a quiz of five rounds of 10 questions each, including one called Name that Tune and Artist, one to estimate the number of some object and the only multimedia round of the three trivia nights, name that image.
Sample questions: 8. How many chimneys are there in the White House? 9. What geologic era are we currently living in? and 10. What was the name of Charles Darwins ship?
The winning team was I Eat Mop Who? with 42 points, Reagyn Germer, Kathleen OConnor and Sean and Ashley Hein (ably assisted by their new baby, Soren), and another genius who likes to hide his light under a bushel. They won a $50 gift card to Carver Brewing Co.
My team, the Multigenerational Studmuffins were on their heels with 41 points, winning a round of drinks at the museum. Congrats to my fellow teammates Chris Cable, Esther Belen, Bliss Bruen and McCardell, who was on the winning team two nights in a row. (He attends all three most weeks.)
The bottom line is that you cant go wrong with any of these trivia competitions. The Discovery Museum may have the edge in the summer, when the competition will be held on the plaza by the Animas River, and its good to be a night owl for the Irish Embassy Pub. And, as his bumper sticker says: Teds Neat.
I cant get out of the newsroom often, but when I can, count me in for another evening of mind-testing fun.
Happy birthday wishes go to Emmy Miller, Nathan Gain, Madeline Robertson, Josh Walker, Rickey Cooksey, Matthew Haber, Nya Martinez, Jaime Marquez, Kristin Roessler, Kevin Simonsen, Damien McCadden, Marian Rizzo, Sandy Seibert, Cory Kindle, Lauri Kloepfer, Anne Swanson, Haley Cotgageorge, Lillian Boe, Randy Bondow, Jane Pearson, Bud Halldorsen, Haley Fleming, John Gerhart, Janice Martin, Ed McCoola, Cindy McClean, Duane Speh, Julie Ward, Randy Bondow, Jim Schoultz, Bethany Bieth, Robert Ludwig and Bill Luthy.
Celebrating early March anniversaries are John and Deb Seglund, Bob and Jan Newlin, Kyle and Cory Kindle, Guy and Beverly Tomberlin, Dale and Reba Warren, Bill and Anne Butler OFlanagan and Jerry and Sara Davis.
Answers: 1. Asparagus 2. Proscenium 3. Gen. Norman Schwartzkopf 4. University of Texas 5. Calvin Coolidge 6. Fauvism 7. Mycology 8. 28 9. Cenozoic 10. The H.M.S. Beagle.

Athlete's foot is a common infection that affects the skin between the toes and soles of the feet.
Athlete's foot is caused by fungus. Fungus thrives in warm, dark, moist places such as the inside of a shoe, locker rooms, showers, and swimming pool areas. The fungus can exist on a floor, mat, rug, shoe, or towel and transfer to your skin when your feet come in contact with them. You can also get athlete's foot if you come into contact with fungus on someone else's feet. The fungus can then grow on your skin if your feet or the area between your toes stays slightly wet.
Risk Factors
Athlete's foot is more common in men. Other risk factors that increase your chances of athlete's foot:
- A history of athlete's foot infection
- Walking barefoot in locker rooms or public places
- Not keeping your feet clean and dry
- Wearing air-tight or poorly ventilated shoes or boots
- Sweaty feet
- Hot, humid weather
- Disorders of the immune system
Athlete's foot symptoms usually starts in the webbing between the toes. It may spread to the soles or arches of the feet, or to the toenails if the infection continues. Athlete's foot may cause:
- Dry skin
- Itching (with or without burning), which gets worse as the infection spreads
- Scaling
- Cracking
- Redness
- A white, wet surface
- Blisters, which may open and become painful
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. An exam of your feet will be done. Your doctor may suspect that you have athlete's foot based on the exam. If necessary, your doctor may scrape a small sample from the infected skin and look at it under the microscope to confirm a diagnosis.
Treatment aims to get rid of the infection and prevent it from spreading to others. Treatment includes the following:
Foot Hygiene
Take proper care of your feet:
- Gently wash your feet often (at least daily) with soap and water. Completely dry all areas, especially between the toes.
- Put a dusting of antifungal foot powder on your feet or in your shoes to absorb moisture.
- Change your shoes and socks frequently.
- Wash your hands after treating your feet.
To prevent spreading the infection to others, avoid walking barefoot in public, especially in locker rooms and public showers.
Athlete's foot can be treated with over-the-counter antifungal medications that are applied to the skin. If you have recurrent infections, or do not see improvement in 2 weeks, your doctor may prescribe other antifungal medication. Treatment may last 1-2 months. It is important to take medication as advised to completely rid yourself of the infection.
To help reduce your chance of athlete's foot:
- Wear shower shoes or sandals in locker rooms, public showers, and around swimming pools.
- Keep your feet clean and dry, especially between your toes.
- Wear shoes that are comfortable and allow your feet to breathe.
- Wear cotton socks that pull moisture away from your skin.
- Change socks regularly, especially if they become damp.
- Do not borrow other people's shoes.
- If you have diabetes, follow your doctor's instructions for taking care of your feet and get them examined regularly.

St. Mary's girls basketball season came to an end after losing to Lester Prairie/Holy Trinity in the quarterfinal of the section 2A tournament on March 1st.
LPHT came out strong on their home court and outscored the Knights 38-17 in the first half.
St. Mary's rallied back in the second half and scored evenly with LPHT with senior Maddy Helget scoring seven points. But this wasn't enough to overcome the lead LPHT had in the first half.
"It was a tough night, but when we look back we had a nice season," coach Bruce Woitas said. "I would like to thank our six seniors and wish them the best."
The Knights have a lot to be proud of with their season. Helget scored over 1,000 points in her career, and the team ended with an impressive 17-10 overall record, not to mention winning 11 of their 16 conference games.
St. Mary's — Molly Schwartz 4, Maddy Helget 9, Nikki Carr 1, Devyn Meyer 7, Jenna Hose 2, Kenzie Schutz 6, Jessica Schmitz 8, Mariah Salfer 2, Sabrina Portner 2. Totals: (FG FTM-FTA TP): 16 7-13 41.

Every industry has its snake oil, and software is no different. A program for Windows 8 called Memory Optimizer from Softorino recalls perhaps the greatest scam program of all time, SoftRAM from Syncronys Softcorp. Memory Optimizer doesn't appear to be fraudulent like SoftRAM, but it is every bit as useful.
To make a long story short, a few analysts I was one of them, at the time at PC Magazine researched exactly what SoftRAM did and determined that it was exactly nothing. The program consisted of 2 parts, a device driver which implemented the compression and a small visual program which showed you in graphs how much memory you were saving. In fact, the device driver, on loading, exited immediately 100% of the time, and the savings in the other program were complete fabrications. We made great hay of it; I was on CNN once about it.
This 1996 analysis of SoftRAM 95 in Dr. Dobb's explains in bit-level detail what the program actually does. The story is written by the dream team of Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell, both now senior technical personnel at Microsoft, and Andrew Schulman, then a famous Windows reverse-engineer and now a patent litigation consultant. (The story names me in the acknowledgements. As a big Dr. Dobb's fan from way back I remember being thrilled at the mention.)
Memory Optimizer from Softorino doesn't really claim much. The web site says: "Lacking memory? Optimize with Memory Optimizer. You'd be surprised how much you can recover!" How does it recover memory, whatever that means? It clears out the disk cache. Windows, like any modern operating system (or old one) caches disk accesses, a practice which considerably increases overall system performance.
I haven't confirmed that Memory Optimizer actually dumps the disk cache, so in a sense it's unfair to tar it by association with SoftRAM, which not only claimed to do something of dubious value didn't actually do what it claimed, but had the potential to introduce instability in the system. Memory Optimizer, if it does what it claims, is just likely to slow down your system to no positive end.

So I'm sitting at my computer watching a video of Justin Bieber throwing up and I'm wondering, "Why am I sitting at my computer watching a video of Justin Bieber throwing up?" Anway, what is notable about the video (see it here --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoNmdAQkH8A ) is the fact that this guy was singing and, in spite of the fact that he was suddenly in the middle of a full blown projectile vomit, his voice coming out the sound system didn't change a bit. The audience was, as it turns out, just listening to a recording.
Many of you can remember Ashlee Simpson's disaster on the Saturday Night Live stage when the sound system started playing her voice and she wasn't even singing yet. She did some awkward little jig and left the stage. See video --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RrLAgi_mBY
Probably the most famous lip synching episode, a couple of decades ago, was Milli Vanilli. This duo was not only lip synching, they were lip synching to someone else's voices. The folks in the music industry had quite a bit of egg on their faces when these guys won a Grammy. Here's a video of an awkward moment when they were "singing" and the recording started to skip. --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ff08y_AXXzE
Lip synching is just the beginning. It seems like there is fake everything these days. Fake reality shows, fake fireplace logs and fake body parts. Heck, recently, one very well known college football player even had a fake girlfriend. It really is turning into a Milli Vanilli world.

|Condition or disease
|HIV Infection
Lipodystrophy (also called abnormal fat redistribution) associated with HIV infection is characterized by loss of subcutaneous adipose tissue (lipoatrophy) that is more apparent in the limbs, face, and buttocks, or by accumulation of adipose tissue (lipohypertrophy) in the intra-abdominal cavity, the mid, upper back, and breasts. Lipodystrophy may also occur in a mixed form (lipoatrophy and lipohypertrophy in the same patient).
Participants made a single study visit. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) was performed within 30 days of this study visit. In addition, routine visit clinical results, demographic data, disease data, comorbidities and concomitant medications were collected.

|A Comparison of Body Fat Distribution in HIV-1 Infected Patients Receiving, Since the Beginning and for at Least Two Years, an Antiretroviral Therapy Based on Efavirenz or Lopinavir/Ritonavir Combined With Tenofovir + Emtricitabine or Lamivudine
|Study Start Date :
|July 2010
|Actual Primary Completion Date :
|September 2011
|Actual Study Completion Date :
|September 2011
HIV-infected patients on initial antiretroviral therapy for at least two years with efavirenz (Sustiva®; EFV) with a combination of tenofovir (TDF) plus emtricitabine (FTC) or lamivudine (3TC).
Lopinavir / Ritonavir
HIV-infected patients on initial antiretroviral therapy for at least two years with lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra®; LPV/r) with a combination of tenofovir (TDF) plus emtricitabine (FTC) or lamivudine (3TC).
- Total Limb Fat Mass [ Time Frame: Study visit ]Total limb fat mass was assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. DEXA uses a whole body scanner and two different low-dose x-rays to read bone mass and soft tissue mass.
- Distribution of Body Fat Mass [ Time Frame: Study visit ]Body fat mass was assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan.
- Lipodystrophy Severity Grading Scale (LSGS) Scores [ Time Frame: Study visit ]
Perception of body fat was assessed by the Lipodystrophy Severity Grading Scale (LSGS), a standardized measurement of subjective lipoatrophy (fat loss) and lipoaccumulation (fat gain) perceived by the participant and by the physician. The degree of lipoatrophy and diffuse fat accumulation at each region was rated by both the participant and the physician as: Score 0=absent; Score 1=mild or noticeable on close inspection; Score 2=moderate or readily noticeable by patient/physician; Score 3=severe or readily noticeable to a casual observer.
Score A reflects the lipoatrophy or fat loss perception at the face, arms, buttocks and legs and ranges from 0-12.
Score B reflects the perception of fat gain at the abdomen, neck, and breasts and ranges from 0-9.
The overall score is the sum of the scores A+B, and ranges from 0-21.
Higher numbers indicate more fat loss (Score A) or gain (Score B). An average overall patient/physician score >7 indicates a clinical diagnosis of lipodystrophy.
- Change Over Time in Body Fat Distribution [ Time Frame: DEXA performed at the study visit and more than 6 months prior to the study visit (the period of time between the DEXA recorded at the study visit and the previous DEXA ranged from 6 to 36 months). ]
Change over time in total body fat and fat in the limbs and trunk was assessed by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in participants for whom a DEXA measurement performed at least 6 months before participation in this study was available.
A negative change score indicates fat loss over time and a positive change score indicates fat gain over time.

From the New Straits Times as mentioned in the above article (go to link to see photo)
'Bigfoot' sighting prompts search
Dec. 30, 2005. 05:32 AM
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia Authorities began searching the jungles of southern Malaysia on Friday for the mythical "Bigfoot" following a reported sighting of three giant human-like beasts, officials said.
Wildlife authorities may set up cameras in the 800-square-kilometre Endau Rompin National Park in Johor state to see if the creatures do exist, they said.
Park director Hashim Yusof ventured into the jungle Friday to survey the site where three fish farm workers reportedly saw the beasts two adults and a young one last month, Hashim's secretary told The Associated Press. She did not want her name used and declined to give details.
The fish farm workers were in the jungle to clear an area for a fish pond. They alerted their employer who photographed what appeared to be footprints measuring up to 45 centimetres, said Lim Teong Kheng, the chairman of the Malaysian Nature Society in Johor.
He said brown hair reeking of body odour was also reportedly retrieved nearby, and a broken tree branch at the site appeared to indicate the creatures were some three metres tall.
The New Straits Times newspaper on Thursday reprinted one of the photographs taken by the fish farmer, showing what appears to be a triangular depression in the undergrowth.
Lim welcomed the investigation by the national park saying ``Bigfoot" sightings have been reported for decades in the area but never taken seriously for lack of evidence.
"Nobody dared say anything in case people say they are out of their minds," Lim told the AP. "But sightings have been enumerated by many others before this at the Endau Rompin area."
"Bigfoot" is a popular name given in the United States to giant hairy creatures walking on two legs. Sightings of such beasts are reported in many parts of the world but never confirmed.
Study to verify Bigfoot
R. Sittamparam and Chuah Bee Kim
JOHOR BARU, Dec 24:
The Johor National Parks Corporation is willing to collaborate with anyone wanting to carry out a study to verify the existence of "Bigfoot" in Johor.
Its director, Hashim Yusoff, said today there was a need for a scientific study to determine once and for all if such a creature existed in Johor.
Without dismissing the claims of sightings of "Bigfoot", he said his staff had found no physical evidence of the presence of "Bigfoot" either in the Endau-Rompin National Park or the Tanjung Piai National Park.
Sightings of hairy creatures said to be about three metres tall have trickled in over the years, especially from along the forest spine connecting Endau Rompin, Kota Tinggi and Tanjung Piai.
In the latest sighting, a fish researcher from the Johor branch of the Malaysian Nature Society claimed he spotted "Bigfoot" footprints at a swamp near Sungai Sedili in Kampung Mawai, Kota Tinggi.
MNS adviser Vincent Chow said there had also been numerous "Bigfoot" sightings by villagers, who refer to the creature as hantu jarang gigi (snaggle-toothed ghost).
Villagers claimed they were usually seen during the monsoon and fruiting seasons, sometimes raiding orchards but not harming anyone.
Chow said, as a child, he had joined his father on search expeditions whenever a sighting of the creature was reported.
"These creatures could be trapped in a time warp and have not evolved like other animals," he said. "Forced to breed among themselves, they have not changed much over the ages and are greatly reduced in numbers."
Chow said there was worldwide interest in the "Bigfoot" phenomena and a lot of research was being carried out in Australia and America but not in Malaysia.
He said MNS Johors investigations had found that the sightings were consistent about the size of the creatures, their habits, and the shape and size of their footprints.
He said sightings of the creatures were reported in Tanjung Piai last year and at Kahang, near Kluang, about five months ago, with similar footprints found at all three sites.
In 1995 a massive search was organised by the authorities of the dense jungle at Tanjung Piai following reports by villagers of a sighting there, but they found nothing.
Although fresh footprints with the distinctive four toes of the creature were found, "Bigfoot" remains elusive.
In 2001, at the 40,197ha Endau-Rompin National Park, several Forestry Department officials, Rela members and campers reported seeing the creature.
One of the sightings was at Sungai Kincin, a tributary of the Endau River. Fish bones were found scattered, possibly indicating that a "Bigfoot" family of three had just had their meal there.

Where is the Soul?
Posted 27 July 2006 - 03:07 AM
Friday, July 21, 2006 The first-ever footage of a person Liquid nitrogen being cryonically frozen after death is to be shown on Channel Five.
The 60-minute film Death in the Deep Freeze will follow a woman who is terminally ill with cancer.
It will also show the 'shocking and compelling' invasive procedure used to freeze her, along with interviews while she is still alive.
There is no evidence that it works
The process, which has been performed on about 150 people, involves freezing the body in the hope that it can one day be brought back to life.
Soon after the person dies, water in the body is replaced with an antifreeze to stop cells deteriorating.
Once the water has been replaced, the body is cooled using dry ice until it reaches -130°C (-202°F) The final step is to put the body into a metal container and immerse it in a tank full of liquid nitrogen.
Independent production firm Zig Zag, which is also making the controversial documentary on Britain's first 'masturbate-a-thon' for Channel 4, spent months negotiating to secure access to the procedure.
Executive producer Jes Wilkins said: 'We're really very proud of what we have achieved with this programme. The human and emotional journey we captured and the ethical questions raised makes for one of our most fascinating productions to date.'
The Cryonics Institute in Michigan, where the film was made, has 70 bodies in liquid nitrogen. Its president Ben Best said he was happy for viewers to see the procedure.
'I hope this film opens people's eyes to the benefits of cryonics,' he added.
However, the Linacre Centre of Health Care Ethic, a Catholic science group, believes it is a waste of time.
Member Anthony McCarthy said: 'This is not a serious medical treatment.
I'm concerned people are spending vast amounts on a procedure where there is no evidence that it works.'
The programme is due to be shown at the end of the month.
My question is this, what will happen to the soul of a person who is still alive and goes into this state? And how does your religious beliefs support this decision?

Where the soul goes is a very difficult question to answer, I'm glad you posted it. I try to put myself in the souls position. As I see it, the soul is alive and constantly beating, somehow echoing within our lives. Its difficult to put into words. But, without life tactile living and fulfillment the soul survives but still needs something to beat, echo along with that is not a part of the state that is being referred to in this article/experiment you posted. I would think the soul would move on to greener pastures, so-to-say.
As far as religious beliefs go in correlation of the above, I believe our eternal is our soul. God grants us this so that our spirit/soul (our active part of God) never truly dies so that we will always remain an active member of His realm. He does not want that part of Himself to suffocate and so it moves on if it finds itself in such a situation. This correlates to the soul's actions in life, death and anywhere in-between, in my beliefs.

well thats my question for cloning if there is two people that are the same in their structure is there a way the other will have a soul and a sense of good and bad or will it be brainless like a zombie and (hopefully not)eat people sorry had to say it
Perhaps, I needed to be a little clearer on what I was attempting to say. If, for a fact someday they will be able to bring this person back, will the original soul come back when this individual begins to breath on its own and respond to the stimuli of its surroundings. Or would it be a emotionaless empty body?

As a Christian, I do believe in an eventual resurrection for everyone, but the jury's still out on all the details.
I didn't lose my mind - I have it backed up on a disk ... somewhere

And I maintain that once the silver cord is severed, the soul will not come back to that body. No one who has died can be resurrected in the same physical body. It just doesn't happen.

Boy I hope it's an empty body My god, think of the boredom! Another question: if the soul departs that body and then it is re-animated at another time, does the former souls need to go back to that body? And another thing, what if that soul is already reincarnated in another body, does it split off, or can a different soul jump in?
BAD_WORD your eyes Iam!
Now my head hurts...

Some good replies, and Dead Watch you did leave a very viable statement. None of us will ever know what happens when we die until we take that journey. But, I am of opinion that, if one comes back from this state, THERE will be no soul nor any form of healthy thought process to base this new entities values on...Simple....Zombie state, perhaps,
Or Perhaps, there are walk-in spirits already waiting in these so called halls who have claimed these type bodies.......Hmmmmmm!!!

What an interesting mental excercise,pondering wether the reunification of body and soul is possible after an extended period of time.I am not sure if I would be be on the pro or con side of this arguement.After all there is many factors one could consider.I would think at face value,would thing that may have escaped scientists is this very element. Meaning, does the body need the soul in order to survive ?.Surely,the scientist in all his arrogance has the belief that one day he shall be knowledgable enough to reanimate the frozen corpse,but what if the body can not function with out the soul anymore than it would not function with out the brain ?.This would seem to throw a monkey wrench into the whole walking popcicle scenerio.
Now,on the real question of wether your soul would return to your body if reanimated after death is fundamentally a sticky question.First, we would have to consider some of the belief systems out there and see how those beliefs would impact this scenerio.When looking at the standard christian belief that your soul goes to heaven when you die,it would probably be frowned upon if you were to boot scoot out of heaven to return to your body after working so hard to get in there in the first place.If your in the school of thought that we go through out time and hop from one life to another and make choices as to the lessons we will learn before coming into the physical,then you would know that your soul would be taking a little vacation as your body lies next to the frozen beef paties for a few years,and then you would have to return.So in that case it might be alright,a bit of R & R for the soul,even better than chicken soup.
Finally,I would say that if NDE people can be believed,then that lends us some evidence in the search for the answer to this question.Most NDE people state that they left the body at the point of death but when the
body was brought back to life,they felt pulled back into forcefully.If these accounts are accurate,then it seems to reason the same would happen no matter what the length of time was,if time even has any meaning on the spiritual plane.

Is there anything like the word "bedtime" to strike simultaneous euphoria and fear in a parent's heart? Thrill at the prospect of having some time to oneself, yet fear of what will happen when the little natives rebel and do all in their power to thwart the bedtime efforts?
I'm going to go out on a limb here and offer some suggestions about this most pivotal of parenting moments: Bedtime. Why pivotal? Because she who gets the sleep controls the world.
First, kids need sleep--lots of it--and nowadays they aren't getting enough. Most sources say 10-12 hours for a school-aged child is necessary but with working parents who don't get off work until five or six o'clock it's difficult to get all of the chores done in time to get kids off to bed before nine or ten o'clock. Add to this that if you've been at the office all day, putting the kids to bed the second you get home makes you feel as if you don't get to see your children at all.
However, kids need sleep. Regardless of the adults' schedules, kids still need sleep and all the caffeine-enhanced vigor in the world can't change that. So doing the math, if my kids have to be up at 6:30 am in time for school they need to be heading to bed around 7 pm. I know it sounds odd but our kids have always had bedtime at 7 pm, since they were around six weeks old. More on that in a moment.
Second, adults need kids to sleep. I'm not telling you anything you don't already know but adults need time away from the children, time to rejuvenate, time to be together or be alone, they must have a chance to punch-out and go off the clock if they're going to wake, bright and early and ready to face the pagan hordes fresh in the morning.
So if I've convinced you that children sleeping peacefully is a good thing (and I'm sure I'm really twisting your arm on that one) what are my suggestions in promoting this most blissful of familial environments? Here's my seven-step program:
* Pick a time as early as possible.
* Try to have all children go by that time, regardless of age (hold on, I'll explain).
* Be firm.
* Be very firm.
* Don't give in.
* Not even if they scream and holler.
* If they argue, use weekends as leverage.
In our house we've picked 7 pm and that's Bedtime. That means toothbrushing, potty breaks, drinks of water, chores, all done by 7 pm. No exceptions. Well, okay there actually are several exceptions: weekends, camping, vacations, family activities lasting longer than 7 pm . . . but generally we aim for 7 pm and are fairly consistent.
However, the younger children--such as Lillian, age 5--go to sleep at 7 pm while David and Spencer (ages 8 and 10) get to read quietly in bed until 8 pm and Grace (age 13) can read until 9 pm. Rule is that they read quietly in bed, door closed, no coming out until the morning light and generally it works well for us.
Starting the kids out young is the way to make this the easiest but if you want to give it a try with your older children just remember you may be in for some tough de-tox before they get used to the new rules. Be patient, be firm, they'll get used to it eventually, if they balk at it and won't obey take away weekend time where bed time is a little later. You're the one holding the power (at least I hope you are) so use it. I'm betting it will be good for them and I know it will be good for the adults in the house.
Early bed time means you can watch your own t.v. shows, read, work on projects--you could even go out on a date and it'll make it much easier to get a babysitter when the kids are already in bed or are reading in their room (plus they can't charge you as much if you've already put them to bed too!) You'll be more inclined to go out if the kids are already quieted down and ready for sleeping.
Just think, if we all put our kids to bed at 7 o'clock, it would be impossible for our children to whine that life is unfair because little Millhouse down the street gets to stay up until ten. Parents all over the world would thank us--we could liberate millions of adults across the globe and create a New World Order where sleep deprivation has ceased.
Yes, the ramifications are enormous. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

For some local law enforcement officers, the murder of a Hendersonville couple and their daughter in front of the daughter's children Wednesday was the worst homicide they have ever experienced.
For some local law enforcement officers, the murder of a Hendersonville couple and their daughter in front of the daughter's children Wednesday was the worst homicide they have ever experienced.
Two-and-a-half hours after the shooting, police found the daughter's estranged husband, Robert Warren III, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a field off of Howard Gap Road in Fletcher.
Warren shot his wife, 30-year-old Carrie Tracy Warren, and her parents, Theresa Russell Tracy, 49, and Richard Allen Tracy, 51, as they stood in the yard of the Tracys' home on Piney Ridge Drive. He fled the scene as his 9-year-old daughter called 911.
Hendersonville Police Chief Herbert Blake said he doesn't recall anything like this "ever (happening) in my years as a police chief anywhere."
The last time those in law enforcement can remember someone killing three family members in Henderson County was 25 years ago.
On Easter Sunday, April 3, 1988, 41-year-old Michael Leslie Rainey opened fire on his former in-laws as they gathered at a church for the funeral of Rainey's ex-wife's grandmother. A 24-year-old man was also killed. Rainey's ex-wife and two others were injured as they fled the barrage of bullets.
Authorities said Rainey was armed with at least one handgun and a shotgun and began firing as the group arrived at Mountain Home Baptist Church at about 3 p.m. He was waiting in the parking lot of the church when Henderson County deputies arrived.
He was convicted of three counts of first-degree murder and given three life sentences in August 1988. He is serving his time at Johnston Correctional Institution. Investigators suspected the incident stemmed from an ongoing property dispute between Rainey and the victims.
Police didn't need to look far to find Rainey that day. But officers from multiple agencies quickly came together Wednesday to search for Warren, shutting down roads, chasing tips and then zeroing in on the field in Fletcher where Warren abandoned his silver convertible.
Although the effort drew about a hundred officers and a multi-agency SWAT team, it was not Henderson County's largest manhunt. On Nov. 26, 1986, a two-month search for robbery suspect Michael John Shornock ended when he engaged officers in a firefight.
Officers opened the door of a ramshackle stable on Sugarloaf Mountain to find Shornock "standing in the dim light of his makeshift lair. Shornock smiled and shot them, then ran laughing to his death," according to an Associated Press story published in the Times-News on Dec. 1, 1986.
"In other manhunts we've had in this area, the suspect would run and run and run to try to get away," Capt. Tom Hatchet of the Henderson County Sheriff's Department said after the incident. "This guy would run to a spot where he could shoot officers and then run again. He wasn't trying to escape. It was so strange."
Shornock's troubles began in May 1985, when he "stole a Jeep and led police on a lengthy chase, jumping from his car into a river when police closed in," the Associated Press reported. "He was captured when state troopers swam after him. He was charged with car theft and eight driving violations and was jailed under $217,000 bond.
"Shornock escaped, but was recaptured a few days later. He was sentenced in August 1985 to three years in prison, and was paroled in June."
Family members said he returned a changed man with a burning anger toward authority and the police who sent him to jail. Shornock lost his job in late August and his parole officer came looking for him. A warrant was issued for his arrest in early September.
Police say Shornock robbed a Jacksonville, N.C., pawnshop, led Onslow County police on a three-county chase and was suspected of stealing a boat in Emerald Isle, the Associated Press reported.
"In October, Shornock moved south in the stolen boat toward the Florida coast, stopping to rob a restaurant at Wrightsville Beach. He called his mother from South Carolina to say he was alive and still on the run," according to the Associated Press.
"When he reached central Florida, Shornock eluded one manhunt after police spotted him breaking into a houseboat, and then another after he broke into a house, shot a woman's dog and forced her to cook dinner.
"Police believe Shornock returned to North Carolina in early November. He is suspected of robbing a Cape Carteret bank Nov. 21. During their escape, Shornock and an accomplice shot at police officers, wounding one.
"The next day, a Henderson County deputy spotted occupants of a car believed to be the getaway vehicle throwing beer bottles onto a highway near Edneyville. When he tried to stop them, a passenger in the Buick shot and disabled the deputy's car," according to the Associated Press.
"For the next three days, until he was cut down with a single bullet, Shornock led 450 police officers on a chase over near-vertical ravines, rocky cliffs and across the dense forest on Sugarloaf."
Unsolved homicide
This week's shooting also sparked memories of a triple homicide in 1966 that remains unsolved nearly 47 years later.
On a Sunday afternoon in July, the owner and manager of Tempo Music went missing. The following Friday, their bodies were discovered along with that of a woman in a mysterious-looking semi-circle in a clearing near the Lake Summit dam.
Tempo Manager Charles Glass, Tempo owner Vernon Shipman and Louise Davis Shumate were dead. Witnesses had seen Shipman driving with Glass in the front seat and a man and woman in the backseat on Sunday, four days before a missing persons report was filed. The car was later found abandoned in Hendersonville.
Each victim suffered brutal blows to the head, and rumors of voodoo and Ku Klux Klan involvement circulated.
Investigators believe the murders were committed where the bodies were found between 7 and 8:15 p.m. Sunday, July 17, 1966. The three were last seen alive around 6:30 p.m.

I taught my mother how to crochet when I was 9 or 10. I think small children should be taught how to sew , knit , crochet , bake bread , make shoes , play the piano and speak French and then they can go home and teach their parents . This will make the world a better place . This is my plan .
So any way I taught my mother to crochet and she made a white , orange and black acrylic afghan which we treasured and took to hockey games for years . I must have taught myself to crochet from a book . My crocheting career has had many highlights. I took a college course in crochet , I crocheted a lumpy pink bathing cap that looked sort of like a brain . I also crocheted my way through 2 encyclopedias of crochet patterns a few years ago , I really enjoyed that a lot . For yarnbombing crocheting is supreme for adding large , luxurious,Victorian looking flowers .
The vigerous right hand movement of crocheting makes me feel very busy and productive I . I notice that sewing , beading , knitting , drop spinning , wheel spinning , crocheting each have their own movement and each movement calms me in a different way like a special tuning of my body . Drop spinning clears my mind and lets thoughts form easily. Sewing beads is best for despair. Crocheting is beat for building enthusiasm.
I imagine people who play lots of instruments or like to do different kinds of exercise have these fine points too.
I sewed this yarnbomb up last Wednesday outside the Rockridge Library in Oakland . It's the third in my Oakland library series. As I was sewing a young man in sunglasses sat down near me and started smoking a cigarette. He stared at me and then suddenly focused on what I was doing and said " That's vandalism you know . I should call the police . "
I stiffened for a second and then realized he was joking . " The Oakland police don't care . " I said " We had 7 police watch us put up a yarnbomb once '
"I know " he said . " I paint murals now but I used to tag . I loved it , but you can get sent to jail for it ! Jail for art , can you imagine ? '
I imagined and was very glad that I have never been .
A small article in the Piedmont Patch about the yarnbomb at their library. here.

Hospice volunteer receives special recognition
By Rachel Segura
Journal Staff Writer
It is a gift to truly and genuinely care for your fellow man; a rare quality in a world sometimes filled with indifference.
Hospice of Montezuma seeks individuals with such gifts to comfort and care for those on the last leg of lifes journey.
Mary Keller is a full-time volunteer with hospice. She visits with one patient once a week for five hours and on occasion she visits with two. She doesnt work, so she devotes her time to others.
They just want someone to hear their stories and they know when someone isnt interested. They know if they are forced to be there, she said.
The volunteers at hospice are of great importance to patients, staff and families. Ronda Lancaster, is the Volunteer and Fundraising Coordinator for hospice. She worked with Keller during her training and assigned her patients, as she does with all hospice volunteers.
I think many of the volunteers forget how many hours they actually put in, Lancaster said. Mary has sometimes worked 15 hours in one week. Shes very compassionate and very quickly becomes a part of their family.
Keller listens to her patients, interacts with them and understands their needs. She is a companion for them to the end. This year, hospice awarded Keller with the Volunteer of the Year award.
I was at a volunteer appreciation picnic and I had no idea any award was going to be given.
Keller heard the speaker say what a wonderful person this volunteer was. That this individual would rearrange their schedule or drop her plans to fit her patients needs.
And I thought, wow, thats really nice of that person, then they said my name, she said with a laugh.
Keller began her volunteer tenure after working with medical records for 10 years. She and her husband lived in Florence, Colo., when she began bringing her standard poodle into nursing homes. She found that patients enjoyed speaking with her and visiting with the dog.
When they moved to Cortez two years ago, Keller could not bring her dog into nursing homes without specific qualifications, so she took her services to hospice.
Keller made volunteering a top priority in her life. She is inspired by all of her patients and has been lucky to receive such wonderful, positive people. Keller is an eclectic person and is eager to learn about her patients interests. This made it easy for her to fit in with her patients and their families.
It is not uncommon for patients to open up to a volunteer before they would a staff member or caregiver. The comfort and companionship of volunteers provide the patient and their family members a more relaxed atmosphere.
Its hard to have a good life when it consists of your chair, bed and maybe the dining room table, Keller said. Theyve all experienced great loss and yet, they have the most amazing attitudes.
Even though the majority of hospice patients have full-time caregivers, Keller is part of respite care. This allows caregivers to take a break from managing their loved ones, to take time for themselves or run errands.
Several patients have had falls when their caregiver slips out for a minute, Keller said. I help give them the peace of mind that someone is there, that their loved one is safe and taken care of.
She also helps caregivers when they have an issue or need someone to talk to. One particular time, Keller sat with a caregiver for half an hour and listened to the stress and worry she carried.
I have a small amount of experience with that, Keller said. My parents are both infirm and very old. Ive lightened my load (at hospice) so that I can act as a caregiver for them when I need to.
Keller recalls spending time with so many special people. All of her memories are bright and cheerful.
A woman, almost blind and bound to her recliner had a very interesting life and career. Current events were her hook and Keller would read and discuss the newspaper with her for hours. Many of her patients still lived in the homes they raised their children in. They always spoke of their children she said. Family is important to all of them.
One woman, she reminisced, told me how her family left the Dust Bowl in Oklahoma and settled here. Thats amazing to me. I see them get restless and incoherent towards the end, but when I first meet them, they are so cognizant. They share wonderful stories with me.
She spoke happily of her past experiences. All these individuals had such incredible memories to share. She hasnt had one person she didnt learn something from.
You have to enjoy and appreciate older people. It certainly takes a special kind of individual to do this work and Keller has filled the role effortlessly.

A dank ass strain of marijuana. It's parent plants are (Big Bud x Purple Erkle). Whoever thinks otherwise is wrong. Usually classified as 'exotic'. It has purple leaves but is not completely purple. Looks frosty with trichomes and has lots of orange hairs. Smells and tastes great and fruity, like its parent plant, Purple Urkel. Very potent. Sometimes expensive (20-25 a G)Commonly called 'GDP' for short.
Lucky Dude: Damn, I just got a quarter of some dank purp, man, it's GDP.
Unlucky Dude: Damn, man, Grand Daddy Purple? All i can find is bammer weed around here.

A very potent, expensive strain of weed popular in the northeast. Has a very unique taste and very strong smoke even though it burns slower then other strains. Can run up to 65$ an eighth. People often call what they are selling granddaddy purple when they are really selling a lesser grade of purple (i.e. grape goo, purple Kush)
"I just copped a P of Granddaddy Purple from the club"
"I got grapes yadida?"
