![]() It may take months for bone fragments that were discovered in the same area in New Hampshire where Maura Murray vanished in 2004 to be tested, her sister said this week. In this episode Crawlspace Medias Tim Pilleri and Lance Reenstierna speak to John Lordan (Brainscratch) about the disappearance of Maura Murray from North. ![]() Maura Murray's Family Use Cadaver Dogs In Potential Case Lead. First we speak with Maggie Freleng and retired US Marshal Art Roderick from Oxygen's The Disappearance of Maura Murray to discuss from a journalist and law enforcement perspective. By Gina Tron November 5, 2021, 5:27 PM ET. We ask that you share the campaign website with your family and friends to help preserve the only sacred place our family and dedicated community have to remember and honor Maura. In this episode Tim Pilleri and Lance Reenstierna conduct a few short interviews to discuss the ramifications of the findings of bone fragments on Loon Mountain. Please join Maura's #BlueRibbon Campaign by visiting to sign our petition and complete a survey to help determine the write-up language for Maura's historical marker application. In order to formally recognize and protect this location for the foreseeable future, we are in the process of applying for a New Hampshire Historical Marker to memorialize Maura near the place she was last seen alive and we need your help. She headed north, crashing her car in Haverhill, New Hampshire, then disappeared before police. However, what these recent events have made clear is that we must be pro-active to preserve the sacred place that my family and thousands of people visit each and every year. Maura Murray left UMass, telling professors there was a death in the family, but that wasn't true. My family is in discussion with the landowners in hopes of striking a deal that will allow us to protect the blue ribbon. After the crash, police received two calls from two residents. I’ve recently been contacted by the local landowners and informed of their plan to cut down the tree with Maura’s blue ribbon. 9, 2004, when her vehicle was involved in a single-car crash on Route 112 in North Haverhill. My family has experienced these types of situations before but this one feels a little bit different because of the proximity to where Maura’s car was found, Murray’s sister, Julie, told CBS Boston. Ultimately the measure was defeated, ensuring that Maura’s ribbon, and other roadside memorials across the state, remain temporarily protected. CBS Boston reports that Murray’s family is aware of the bone fragments anxiously await the results. My family reached out to key leaders in the New Hampshire State Senate to voice our strong opposition to the bill. In June 2020, the New Hampshire State House passed a bill, HB1255, that would have compelled the state to tear down Maura’s blue ribbon. (CBS/AP) - Human bone fragments found in the area of Loon Mountain in Lincoln, New Hampshire back in September are not those of missing woman Maura Murray. This is for all of you ,jacks of all trade’’ out there. The basic is the same – one long horizontal plank, two smaller ones attached vertically (make sure that they fit between the bed frame and the mattress) and what all the fuss is about – round the horizontal plank with some nice looking textile of your choice (or should I say your kids’ choice), maybe add a little bit of sponge inside and there you go! Your kid now has soft bed rails with its favorite fictional character. There isn’t much more to this tutorial than to the others, with just the difference that this rail fits nice with the color of the room. ![]() See also 23 DIY Bassinet Projects - How To Build A Cradle For Your BabyĬlick for more details 8. With less than 15 minutes of work, you get yourself a nice removable bed rails. Just take a part of your unused, old board (or buy a new one), get those brackets on (make sure they fit the side of the bed frame width) and if you want to keep the frame from scratching, use furniture pads. And that’s that! Drill the holes, put some glue before the dowels and let it all dry. Just one plank, two side smaller planks or sticks (four if you don’t cut one on half like in the tutorial), a handful of dowel sticks and some glue for better combining. This is a simple DIY project that doesn’t even need screws. All in all, this is the best plain, forward and handy way to do your bed rails. This tutorial is really easy to follow and understandable, so you can surely do it, but might need some time. Basically, you go and buy wood boards with the right sizes, take some time off and screw them all into place. It’s really suitable for people who like to give it their own touch, make just the right size, or combine materials that are compatible with other parts of the room and so on. This way you can even do your bed rails totally for free (maybe you need to buy a few screws, don’t take it too literally). ![]() ![]() If you too have an old crib you don’t need any more, this is the thing for you. This guy makes the best repurposing you can possibly imagine. The sides of your old crib are your new bed rails Bigger kids might tear it apart and fall off the bed anyways. This design works really good for smaller kids because it minimizes the possibility that your toddler will hit its fragile body on wood, metal or anything that might leave a bruise. Pipe rails with textileĪs an adaptation of the previous example, we have the pipe bed rails, but with textile for a support.

You only need drilling if you decide to put some screws for more stability. ![]() Compared to the other DIY project listed here, this design might not look the best, but it’s cheap and easy to make. Just cut a few PVC pipes and buy PVC tees and 90 degree PVC elbows, draw the design and start your project. This is another simple DIY project that doesn’t require a lot of cutting and nailing. And if that is the case, you should take a look at the other DIY and find a better design.Ĭlick for more details 2. If your kid is one of those, then this simple solution will be simple for his turning too. Some kids, well, they are some real toss-and-turners, and a few pool noodles won’t stop them. Once ,installed’’ this noodle bumper should prevent your kid from falling off the bed, except maybe if it is a tough solder. Just duct-tape three pool noodles in the shape of a triangle and slide them under the bed sheet. Let’s start with the easiest solutions out there. ![]() ![]() In VA, vehicles must meet DOT regulations when sold to a consumer, for trailers that means function lights and brakes(if present/required). If this was from a private seller, it wouldn't matter, but since you bought the trailer from a dealer it could be different. Sorry to hear your having trouble with the "new" boat.įirst check into something called a guarantee of marketability(sp?). Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to be sure (read "hopefully be sure") I didn't leave anything out that could help diagnose the problem. Perhaps the commentary above sends up flags for someone that has a lot of experience in surge breaks. Perhaps when it bypasses the breaks, something (not working) allows it to leak? At least this is my current thought.īefore I started looking at replacing any pieces of the actuator and digging too deep (as I know this can get pricey) I wanted to know if anyone else has had the issue/resolved an issue like this. Now, since (I believe) it wasn't leaking when I was pulling it (force away from the actuator, same "away" force as sitting on a slope of the boat ramp) and it wasn't leaking for a week that it sat before I pulled it I think it has something to do with the reverse solenoid. Basically it leaked completely empty in the 15 minutes the boat was on the ramp (or being backed to the ramp) and gravity was pulling away from the tow vehicle. ![]() When I backed it to the ramp, and the boat was sitting on the slope (pulling away from the tow vehicle) as I was preparing to launch, I noticed the DOT 3 fluid was dripping very fast from the actuator. Basically, the breaks actually felt like they were doing something. I took the boat out for the first test drive (this past weekend) and as I was towing, the jerking and clunking was gone. I checked all of the lines and the breaks themselves with no visible leaks. I filled the reservoir and actuated the break mechanism for a while to ensure fluid was reaching the breaks and to ensure no leaks. Turns out, there was no (read "completely empty") fluid in the reservoir. After getting it home and reading the trailer manual, realized the brake fluid was low. When I bought the boat with the trailer, I pulled it off the lot and realized there was a lot of "clunking". The entire rig looks brand new, but I am having a leak from the actuator.Ĭommentary: I am by no means new to boating or trailering, however I am very new to trailering with breaks (most of my previous boats trailer/cargo's have been light. Specs: I just bought a 2005 Monterey 214 FS ~ 4500-4700 lbs with a 2005 tandem Road King trailer ~ 1000 lbs with surge disk brakes. However, it is time to ask a question that I haven't seen answered (if it has, just point me to the thread!). I have spent much time on these forums, to which I must thank all of the experts for their comments. My first question posted on the iBoats forums. ![]() ![]() Pokemon Unite also features a wealth of things to do outside of a match. And while there are a couple of maps on offer, I found myself gravitating to the Ranked/Standard map as opposed to the 3v3 or 4v4 maps – perhaps I’m old fashioned like that, just give me one, well-crafted map. The map is clean and offers a lovely visual art style, allowing players to figure out the laning mechanic that comes with the MOBA genre. This simplicity also extends into Pokemon Unite’s other design elements. It’s this short time commitment that makes it significantly more approachable than other MOBAs. You won’t be stuck in a 40 minute stalemate against another equally skilled team where each side is looking for that single opening that will tip the scale. Speaking of time limit, the 10 minute limit means matches feel fast and easy to pick up. There’s some build complexity here, but nowhere near as many options as other titles in the genre. Granted, the 10 minute time limit doesn’t really leave much room for in-depth tinkering of builds. Unfortunately, what’s missing here is an in-match shop, which means creating new and exciting builds is limited to the above. These can be leveled up outside of a match. Pokemon can have three items, which provide passive buffs like increases to health, attack damage, or even some that provide a boon upon certain conditions. At one level you’ll choose between abilities A and B which then gets upgraded throughout the match and at the next level threshold you’ll choose between abilities C and D.įurther build customization is found in the Held Item system. Each Pokemon features a binary choice of abilities at set levels. It can tend to feel a bit spammy as players try to throw out moves as quickly as possible with little regard to other extraneous factors.Ĭomplexity can be found in how you build your Pokemon throughout the match. For example, each of the abilities only functions on a cooldown system – which means there’s no need to track mana or plan out attacks with too much precision. There’s a simplicity to this that extends to the management of resources within a match. Though it does feel a bit “My First MOBA”, there’s enough going on here with just enough complexity to make newcomers feel challenged while giving MOBA fans an experience that might almost be considered relaxing.Įach of the Pokemon is controlled using the thumbstick, shoulder buttons are responsible for the two primary abilities and the Unite move (think: Ultimate), the A button handles the basic attack, and the Y button activates your Trainer’s item – which is basically the Pokemon Unite equivalent of a Summoner Spell in League of Legends. Teamwork makes the dream workĮven as someone with copious amounts of hours spent in League of Legends and other mouse and keyboard MOBAs, Pokemon Unite still managed to retain my interest. While this is the overarching objective for a match, further strategy is found by defeating opposing players, controlling the various elements of the map, and otherwise working out powerful metas and build options for your selected Pokemon. The team that deposits the most energy wins the match. The flow of the 10-minute matches is fairly simple: players work together to defeat smaller AI-controlled Pokemon to collect Aeos Energy, which is then dunked into the opposing team’s goal zones. Having a good mixture of these in your team of five players will ensure a better team composition than say a team full of Attackers. A Supporter will have lower health than the others but can heal allies, an Attacker has better damage output but lower health, while a Speedster features higher mobility for better map control. There are five archetypes to speak of: Supporter, Defender, Attacker, Speedster, and All-Rounder. Unite takes players through a tutorial that introduces some of the basics of the game, including the fundamentals of the genre and an explanation of the various Pokemon archetypes. Right from the start, Pokemon Unite presents itself as an approachable MOBA. While free-to-play games like Pokemon Unite invariably feature microtransactions, this one unfortunately has a pay-to-win system, which ultimately prevents Pokemon Unite from being something truly great. Though playing as Pokemon and engaging in massive brawls is an explosive spectacle, and while the simple design of the game might be appealing for newcomers to the genre, it can lack a certain layer of complexity often found in titles like League of Legends or DOTA 2. The title is developed by TiMi Studio Group and published by The Pokemon Company, and has players controlling Pokemon to fight for victory in 5-on-5 battles. ![]() ![]() The multiplayer online battle arena style of games has been around for decades now and Pokemon Unite, a free-to-play title, is the franchise’s first foray into the competitive MOBA genre. ![]() Ladies wallets are your handbag’s best friend.

The players as heroes of Alteria must comb the land fighting evil dragons in order to find power stones that enable them to communicate with the sleeping goddess in order to find the grail, wake her and save the world. The poison can only be cured using an antidote made using the source of the poison itself, Vestinel's magic grail, which has disappeared somewhere within Alteria. The Goddess Althea, creator of the land of Alteria (Altea in the NA version, Lagendia in the SEA version), is poisoned by her evil sister Vestinel.

The monsters drop money, boxes, collectables, materials, weapons or equipment that can be used by the player, sold, traded or thrown away. In Dragon Nest, players fight groups of monsters using skills and attacks received by class trainers throughout the game. This allows a more experienced player that is of a lower level to dominate a less experienced player of a higher level player in PvP. Devastating skills can also be learned, to increase one's power when defeating monsters in instance dungeons or defeating other players in PvP.ĭragon Nest also has the advantage of being nearly completely skill-based, with lower level characters being able to defeat high level characters in PvP with skill alone. Characters exist in one world, Kalahan, which resulted from Nexon uniting all four worlds to unite the characters. Players choose from a range of hero classes, characters that are of the Dragon Nest storyline that can equip customizable gear and weapons. Gameplay ĭragon Nest incorporates non-targeting system gameplay to create a fast-paced action-filled experience.

Dave never played the intro right and though it was a relatively simple harmonic progression, it was Manzareks jazzy feel and sense of fluidity that made the keyboard riff so difficult to emulate. We listened to that first Doors album over and over and over but to no avail. We practiced in my parents garage where I had set up a little record player. Which isnt to imply that I didnt totally butcher Robby Kriegers guitar parts and that my solo was so bad that it deserved to be condemned - but were talking about keyboard players here so thats where the focus will remain. We had a keyboardist≺dams had either a Roland Juno 106 or Yamaha DX7and consequently we tried to learn Light My Fire. Dave was not a good musician and he tried but try as he might, he could simply never cop the feel, notes or phrasing of the Ray Manzarek riff that opened the song. It was a group Id formed with some friends - Eric Sinclair on bass and vocals, Steve Doctrow on drums and Dave Adams on keyboards - and we played at various school functions and at some church socials. I was playing guitar in a band called Headwaters back in 1969. However, if you had a keyboard player in your bandthat was a rarity because there werent many electric keyboards around and virtually no high school kid could afford onethere was one song you really had to include in your repertoire: the Doors Light My Fire. If you played at a party or a school dance, you were expected to play it and if you didnt people asked for it and if you didnt know it you were screwed. Besides that, they were relatively easy songs to get down and even if you were still a struggling guitar player or drummer, you were able to come up with versions that sounded relatively decent. These were songs that had been played on the radio thousands of times and every band huddled in a neighborhood garage somewhere had to learn them. You had to play Creams Sunshine Of Your Love and ∻orn on the Bayou or Proud Mary by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Dude, if you didnt play these, your band sucked. If you were playing in a rock band doing covers anytime between 19, there were certain songs you had to play. ![]() ![]() It’s within that context, as well as the 50th anniversary of the band’s legendary 1976 debut album, that we present Steve Rosen’s recollections of Ray Manzarek below. ![]() Januwas christened The Day of the Doors in Venice, California - and surviving members John Densmore and Robby Krieger were on-hand for a fun event streamed live on the band’s Facebook page. |
