Dear Good Friends of East Timor,
On May 20 of this year, after decades of struggle, East Timor became independent. With invaluable solidarity from people like you, the East Timorese resistance prevailed in a victory of David and Goliath proportions.
For years, Washington insiders said it could never happen, as administration after administration actively assisted the Indonesian occupation of East Timor. I think you'll agree with me that the East Timor Action Network (ETAN) not only proved that independence for East Timor was possible but helped make it happen. ETAN harnessed the power of ordinary people in the United States people like you and me to redirect the policy of the most powerful government in the world. I can't think of a better recent example of grassroots action changing U.S. foreign policy.
But independence does not guarantee freedom, and ETAN's work has not ended. Justice for East Timor has been denied, and global powers threaten East Timor's sovereignty. Human rights conditions have worsened in Indonesia, where military tactics honed in East Timor are now being used in the provinces of Aceh and Papua. Yet the Bush administration continues to mount an aggressive campaign to make sure that Congress continues to expand its "re-engagement" with the Indonesian military.
ETAN needs your support to tackle these challenges. That is why I am writing to you in this season of giving to ask for your generous contribution to the East Timor Action Network. [http://www.etan.org/etan/2002appl.htm online]
East Timor's horizons, though free of military occupation, are dimmed by widespread poverty resulting from a quarter-century of occupation and centuries of colonial exploitation and neglect. It is the poorest country in Asia. International financial institutions intimately involved in virtually every facet of life in East Timor the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the International Monetary Fund cast long shadows on the new democracy and its aspirations for self-reliance.
But East Timor is coming of age in an era of globalized movements for social justice. The painful experiences of poor nations subject to IMF/World Bank-imposed restrictions on social spending have shown that such policies only deepen inequities. Grassroots activists now have an opportunity to work with the people of East Timor before "structural adjustment" and a vicious debt trap ravage the nation.
With partners in East Timor, ETAN has already taken preemptive action. Last spring, ETAN launched an international grassroots campaign for a debt-free and structural-adjustment-free East Timor. East Timor has won for now, the new government's "no-loans" policy survived. But this is only the beginning of a formidable fight.
For decades, the U.S. government stood in the way of self-determination for the East Timorese people. Bypassing democracy and ignoring human suffering, successive U.S. administrations supplied the Indonesian dictatorship with lethal military training and millions upon millions of dollars worth of weaponry.
With your help, ETAN has worked tirelessly for more than a decade first to win and then to maintain restrictions on U.S. assistance for Indonesia's military. In today's political climate of "war on terror," these restrictions are under serious threat. We now face our toughest challenge in years. Some military training may be restored in 2003. With all the resources the Pentagon has at its disposal, this fight will not be won easily. But it can be won. Thanks to ETAN's hard work, the U.S. government won't be arming the Indonesian military next year.
In August, Indonesia's ad hoc Human Rights Court on East Timor acquitted six Indonesian military and police officers of crimes against humanity committed in East Timor in 1999. The court's failure to bring those officers to justice reinforced ETAN's long-standing call for an international tribunal on East Timor. But what was the State Department's response to this grave injustice? That the trials will serve as a "warning [to] those who might consider new violations of human rights in Aceh and elsewhere."
It is because of Bush administration stances like this that ETAN needs your support.
Since 1991, ETAN has made sure that the human rights of the East Timorese and Indonesian people are not ignored by U.S. policymakers.
Throughout this past year, ETAN's pressure for an international tribunal, a ban on military assistance for Indonesia and East Timor's right to economic self-determination has generated countless phone calls and letters to elected representatives and corresponding congressional action. ETAN's extensive spring speaking tour with an East Timorese women's and human rights activist built awareness, developed new grassroots contacts and increased support for congressional resolutions calling for a tribunal.
More pressure is needed in 2003.
I encourage you to take a look at the ETAN's Annual Report (http://www.etan.org/etan/2002anul.htm). The accomplishments of the East Timor Action Network speak for themselves, as does the organization's modest budget. ETAN has truly done so much with so little.
In the current atmosphere of "us against them" warmongering, ETAN is an important example of what a dedicated group of activists can do to move our country in a more sane direction. Your financial support is needed to continue their work. Please think about ETAN and make as generous a donation as possible.
Thank you for you generous support. And best wishes of peace and health this holiday season.

Kao profits hit by raw material costs
By Simon Pitman , 23-Jan-2008
Japanese global personal care provider Kao has reported a fall in profits as rising raw material prices send costs rocketing.
The company said that in the nine month period ending 31 December profits fell by 7 percent, from ¥57.72bn ($546m) in the same period of 2006, to ¥53.70bn.
The company said that the fall was mainly attributable to rises in the cost of petrochemical-based ingredients - an increase that mirrors the rising cost of oil prices worldwide - combined with further hikes for natural oils and fats.
Profits dipped because the company had not passed on the cost increases to consumers, given the competitive state of the consumer market, both in Japan and worldwide.
This is expected to become a familiar tale for the global personal care companies in 2008, with industry experts suggesting that pricing pressures are likely to continue to impact profits as cost pressures grow.
In recent weeks several leading ingredients players, including Rohm and Haas, have announced price ingredients on fine chemicals and personal care ingredients due to rises in raw material costs and freight costs.
Reviewing its last quarterly results, the world's largest consumer goods player, Procter & Gamble, also said that further price increases in overall costs were likely to impact its profits in 2008.
Despite the downturn in profits, Kao reported that sales during the nine month period had been robust, rising 7.3 percent to reach ¥1.0 trillion, a figure that was boosted by brisk demand for personal care and household products and further boosted by the consolidation of Kanebo Cosmetics, which the company bought in 2006.
The company bought up an 86 percent share in Kanebo cosmetics through the Japanese government agency in IRCJ, and the remaining 14 percent from parent company Kanebo Company, after the business went into receivership.
Breaking the results down on a geographical basis, the company's consumer products business performed best in the Asia and Oceania region, where sales increased by 20.5 percent to reach ¥63.7bn, whereas sales in Europe and the US grew by 4.3 percent to reach ¥112.6bn.
Sales in the mainstay Japan market increased by 5.7 percent to reach ¥823.3bn.
Likewise sales in the beauty care business, which accounts for the majority of the consumer product sales worldwide, grew by 7.8 percent to reach ¥464.8bn.
Looking ahead to the full year results, the company said that the continuing cost pressures had created 'uncertainty' and that it would be looking to expand sales and improve cost efficiencies in an effort to counteract the impact.
This focus would be likely to help it achieve its previous full year forecasts, with 2007 sales estimated to rise by 6.3 percent to ¥1.31 trillion and net profits up 6.4 percent to ¥66bn.

Problems with the shelter system in NYS: A victim's point of view of shelter life
Posted Jun 15 2011 12:00am
Good morning,
My name is Julie Kaous. I have resided at the shelter since 2-8-2011 in the B building. During my time I found that there were many issues regarding "helping" the women staying there.
First, there is no proactive assessment done to see what the victim needs upon arrival (food, clothing etc.) Also, many of us have food stamp cases or PA cases and the abuser is the one with the ebt card and head of household status on the cases. If we are placed with P.A.T.H we go to N.O.V.A, which gets us placement at various shelters. This letter, along with the letter from the shelter we are in, can get our cases transferred to our names and make life easier. What I found is a huge disconnect within the case managers getting these letters to the women timely. This puts the woman's ability to even buy food for their children at a quick stop. As they do not have the ebt card to use, usually the abuser does. Also, having to wait in the wait area for case managers with kids that are hungry and in need of sleep and food for more then 2 hours at times. I found completely unacceptable! why do the children and women have to suffer further at the shelter they are placed at to help them?
I, myself, when I came there had just left a police precinct. We had only the clothes on our backs- no food and no belongings. The shelter gave me a mere 35 dollar voucher for 5 people and no advice as how to go about getting things done. My abuser is very tricky. I always had to be a step ahead of him or I would get plundered by him. He robbed me controlled everything and was always checking on what I was doing. This is what batterers do as you know!
So if that is the case, why doesn't the shelter have in place a way to help, really help, the women with their issues and getting back control and quickly! Everything going on is time sensitive the victim has to be quick and the case workers are fundamental to that process. I was never given any letters advocating early on when me and my kids needed clothes food. I asked, but usually was told to wait and when you have 3 young kids hungry and a staff that thinks that its appropriate to have your hungry children wait over an hour to be seen. I just don't see how this is helping the women. Many, many women return to the batterer because of the way the shelters treat them and do really nothing to help them. This is a tragedy! Who is to blame?
This brings me to the current issue I am dealing with at the shelter. May I just say I had a room mate XXXXXXX who was thrown out by the shelter on lies-she had no place to go no money nothing but was none the less made to leave at night. Her kids had school the next day and now her and her kids are on the street with nothing!
I now have an apartment my ACS caseworker has ordered me beds and I want to move out. However the shelter staff advised me that they would be calling ACS on me if I did? But not only that, I was lied to by XXXXXX and XXXXXX, they told me that I would lose my kids and that it was an ACS mandate that I have beds and a table to move. However, I did speak to ACS and they said there is no such mandate and that they have no problem with me moving to my apartment and sleeping on air mattresses with my kids. But the caseworker Beverly insisted that she would call ACS on me if I left? She even spoke with the ACS worker who said that she knew i had no beds and that she, in fact, had ordered them for me and that there was nothing in any law book or ACS mandate that says I have to have beds. Yet your agency still insists to call ACS on me if I leave.
I spoke to Mrs. XXXX, who stated that she "would do what she has to do" and that I should do what I have to do. Is this how your agency functions? One instant you throw women out who have nothing based on lies. The next you impede another woman who just wants to move forward with her life? I feel this is a gross misjudgement on the director and case managers part also not to mention that the director Mrs. XXXX said she would get me her supervisor but actually hung up the phone on me. I have been living a nightmare for the past 8 years. I thought going to a DV shelter would be a new horizon. But instead I was faced with another cold reality- no one cares and, I still have to fight for what me and my children need. Why? Because the DV shelters lack the human element of empathy and compassion, two forces that are critical to the function of us as a society and to the recovery of battered women.

Lesli Kay
GH casts ATWT Emmy winner as Lois
Posted Monday, May 03, 2004 11:49:34 PM
In a stunning development, Emmy winning actress Lesli Kay (Molly McKinnon, As the World Turns) will soon be exiting CBS's As the World Turns and heading west to play General Hospital's Lois Cerullo.
According to a statement issued by the show, Kay wanted to relocate from New York in order to be closer to her family.
"In consideration of the needs of her family, Lesli Kay expressed the desire to relocate to Los Angeles," As the World Turns executive producer Chris Goutman said in a statement. "When the opportunity at General Hospital arose, we chose not to stand in the way. Lesli Kay has served As the World Turns with the utmost professionalism and enthusiasm for the past seven years. We wish her and her family nothing but the best."
In recent published reports, it had been hinted that General Hospital had all but given up on finding an actress to play Lois. According to insiders, the show had auditioned several former soap for the role, including Lisa LoCicero (ex-Jocelyn, The City/Loving) and Alicia Coppola (ex-Lorna, Another World). However, for one reason or another, none of the actresses who tried out for the part were quite right for the role.
Some fans were vocal when it was revealed that Rena Sofer had not been asked to reprise the role of Lois. Sofer originated the role in 1994 and remained with the show through 1997. However, Sofer revealed that despite statements of interest from co-head writer Charles Pratt, Jr., she had not been asked to return to the show.
Kay joined the cast of As the World Turns in May 1997. In 2001, Kay earned a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress. Though the CBS soap is Kay's only television experience in a starring role, the actress does have extensive movie and theater experience under her belt.
A final airdate for Kay on As the World Turns comes July 2nd. Meanwhile, an ABC spokesperson reveals that Kay will debut on General Hospital on June 10.
In related news, Adrianne Leon has been cast in the role of Lynn (a.k.a Brooklyn), the daughter of Ned and Lois. June 1st is her first airdate.

$1.5 billion spent on Afghan structures that could easily burn down, watchdog says
As if taxpayers have not been burned enough by America's effort to rebuild Afghanistan, now comes a special Inspector General's report that finds as many as 700 buildings constructed for Afghan military forces so shoddy that they can easily go up in flames.
The Army Corps of Engineers spent more than $1.5 billion of taxpayer money constructing some 2,000 buildings to house medical centers, offices and even fire stations.
Our investigative partners at the Washington Times explain how the Army Corps responded when asked about the significant risks the buildings pose.
"Some of the senior leadership of the Corps of Engineers said that this probably isn't going to be a problem because the Afghan soldiers are all young and fit and could easily evacuate the buildings in the event of a fire,?? said Phillip Swarts of the Washington Times.
For risking Afghan lives and wasting hundreds of millions of tax dollars, the US Army Corps of Engineers wins this week's Golden Hammer. It's a weekly award that calls out waste and abuse of your tax dollars.
How are the problems being addressed? Click here for more information on that from the Washington Times.

You are already past Cobb Stage 1.
Cobb Stage 1= Completely stock WRX, Accessport stage 1 flash.
Cobb Stage 2= WRX with turbo-back exhaust, Accessport stage 2 flash.
With the mods you have right now(how your car is exactly this second) you would benefit most from a dyno tune.
Also, you don't need a BOV. The factory BPV is good and will hold boost until about 22psi.
I saw the update that you already went stage 2 and beyond. Good luck w/ the car.

White House Orders Insurance Companies Not to Criticize Obamacare
Executives fear "retribution" if they speak out
Paul Joseph Watson
Propaganda Matrix
Wednesday, October 30, 2013
The White House is ordering insurance companies not to criticize Obamacare and threatening "retribution" against executives who speak out, according to CNN reporter Drew Griffin.
During a segment on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 last night, Griffin revealed that insurance companies had been told to "keep quiet" about the fact that millions of Americans are being told that they cannot keep their existing policies, contradicting Barack Obama's promise that, "If...you like your plan, you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan."
"Basically, if you speak out, if you are quoted, you’re going to get a call from the White House, pressure to be quiet. Several sources tell me and my colleague Chris Frates that insurance executives are being told to keep quiet," said Griffin, adding, "Sources (are) telling us they fear White House retribution."
The fact that the White House is threatening private companies with undisclosed forms of "retribution" if they criticize government policy is a shocking display of authoritarianism that wouldn't look out of place in countries like Communist China or Stalinist North Korea.
Griffin also suggested that insurance companies were adhering to the White House gag order because, "It is the federal government that's the biggest customer for these insurance companies."
White House spokesman Jay Carney labeled the accusations "preposterous and inaccurate," which is similar to how the administration reacted when it was accused of having foreknowledge of the fact that millions of Americans would lose their healthcare coverage due to Obamacare. It subsequently emerged that White House officials knew this would be the case at least three years in advance.

A Time to Defend Labor and the Public Sector
Thanks to the leadership that workers in Wisconsin and other states took in the Spring of 2011, Americans seized the opportunity to change the debate about the fiscal crisis in the states, its origins, and the way it was being used to attack the labor movement and to dismantle public services.
Regions: California Iowa Nebraska North Carolina Ohio Wisconsin
In many states LAWCHA members are already playing a role in these discussions. Will Jones and Steve Meyer have been in the news about Wisconsin. In North Carolina, LAWCHA members have pulled together faculty from numerous colleges and universities in a group called North Carolina Protecting the Public Interest to stand with these workers and those who need their services. We urge LAWCHA members to do more to bring our perspectives as labor historians to bear on this crisis.
Iowa unions have been spurred to action this week both in solidarity with neighboring Wisconsin workers and in opposition to attacks from Iowa lawmakers. Despite growing resistance to assaults on public employee rights in other Midwestern states, last Friday Iowa House Republicans introduced HSB 117, their own assault on Iowa’s 37-year-old public bargaining law. Iowa union members, allies, and elected officials have since mounted strong and growing opposition.
Iowa’s Public Employment Relations Act was signed into law by a Republican governor in 1974. Its passage was presaged by the adoption of similar laws in neighboring states as well as growing pressure from strikes waged by Iowa teachers and firefighters. By all accounts, the system has worked well to promote negotiated settlements of public sector contracts; 98% of public sector contracts in Iowa are settled voluntarily. Those that reach impasse are forwarded to a third-party arbitrator, whose decision is final and binding.
Republicans have pitched their “reform” of Iowa’s public bargaining law to the media as a budgetary solution to rising health care costs. The bill would further limit the scope of negotiations, prohibiting bargaining over health insurance, outsourcing, and other items, and would require all public employees to pay at least 30% of the cost of their health insurance.
But as in Wisconsin and other states, the bill’s most significant proposals are aimed at stripping fundamental union rights, weakening worker bargaining power, and undermining the purpose of collective bargaining. The bill would, for example, allow either the governor or legislature to reject an arbitrator’s decision on state contracts, essentially making collective bargaining meaningless for state employees. Indeed, the provision appears to be an attempt to reverse a 1991 Iowa Supreme Court ruling issued against current Governor Terry Branstad when, during his previous tenure as governor, he attempted to veto pay increases awarded to state employees via the legally binding arbitration process.
Another provision of the bill would allow any public employee to declare him or herself a “free agent,” rejecting union representation and coverage under an existing collective bargaining agreement. This proposal strikes at the heart of the principle of “exclusive representation,” the foundational legal obligation of an employer to deal with a single, democratically selected union as the bargaining agent for all employees in a given unit. Such a provision could allow employers to offer special deals to individuals who opt out of bargaining unit coverage as a means of weakening bargaining power encouraging decertification elections (after which, complete control of workplace terms and conditions would return to management’s hands).
In response, over 2,000 Iowa union members and supporters rallied at the state capitol on February 22 in solidarity with public sector workers in Iowa, Wisconsin, and across the globe. Additional rallies have taken place since in multiple locations around the state, and a second statehouse rally is scheduled for Saturday in Des Moines.
Iowa Democrats have also appeared buoyed by worker protests. In their own show of solidarity, last night minority House Democrats kept a Labor Committee discussion of HSB 117 alive for over 15 hours straight, offering 48 amendments and continuous objection to the bill’s attack on bargaining rights. As Rep. Bruce Hunter put it, “You’re attacking the workers of the state of Iowa, and when you attack the workers of Iowa, we are going to fight for them.” Early this morning, the bill passed out of committee on a party-line vote, but Senate leader Mike Gronstal (who rallied with workers earlier in the week) has already pledged to prevent the bill from coming to the floor in the senate, where Democrats hold a slim majority.
Hundreds of Iowans have made trips to Madison during the past two weeks to join protests there, and union-sponsored buses continue to travel back and forth from eastern Iowa daily. Along with raising their voices, Iowa union members have taken shifts sleeping on the capitol floor, helped direct shuttle bus parking, and transported food donations. Many have returned from Madison transformed and ready to take action of their own. As one of them put it, solidarity is “spreading like fire on the prairie.”
Submitted by Jennifer Sherer, Director, University of Iowa Labor Center.
Nebraska is right in the mix of all this anti-union stuff with 8 measures either to restrict public sector bargaining or eliminate it altogether.
North Carolina
A group of LAWCHA members from the Research Triangle Area in November founded North Carolina Protecting the Public Interest, a network of scholars (faculty and graduate students) from colleges and universities throughout the state who have come together to oppose the proposed devastating cuts to public school and service budgets and provide a research center and speakers bureau on these issues for organizations and media. We have almost 100 signatories from over a dozen institutions and, prompted by the struggle in Wisconsin, are now providing news feeds to media and organizations with short lists of our expertise (list in formation attached, as an example for those who would like to start similar efforts elsewhere).
Please visit our website, a template that could easily be copied and modified for other states: http://lawcha.org/ncprotectingthepublic.
It’s easy to organize a group like this if you have even 2-3 people who can then reach out to contacts elsewhere via email and calls to get it going. Time is of the essence, what with Wisconsin legislators getting ready to vote and the recent Conservative Political Action Conference aggressively promoting similar attacks on public services and workers across the country.
For more information or to send resources or news for our site, please contact ncptpi@gmail.com or Nancy MacLean at nancy.maclean@duke.edu or (919) 937-9409.
Things are also heating in Ohio over collective bargaining for public employees.
The most dramatic events, of course, have been occurring in Wisconsin. If you would like to add information to this section, please email Ryan Poe (rmp23@duke.edu) to have your alerts, links, and information posted.

Vantage Point: Should suppliers be partners?
Share this article:
Harris Kaplan
Harris Kaplan
Clients always say they need suppliers who can be their partners—that we need to know their business so we can deliver the most value while increasing efficacy and reducing costs. This is one of the foundational premises of preferred-provider and agency-of-record relationships. Unfortunately, this premise has a fatal flaw. And it is the root of the identity crisis confronting our industry.
The reality is, rather than providing true partners, more often than not, suppliers, squeezed for profitability, are forced to assign their less expensive and usually less experienced staff. The results frequently leave clients wanting, but powerless to change the situation. So, while the client company saves money, they may miss out on a creative and informed view of their customer that could mean the difference between success and failure for a product.
To me, this is a sad state of affairs. We are literally burning furniture to create heat. Here's what one client's marketing group does instead. It still operates within the world of procurement, but provides an opportunity for much better results. They invite many companies along with incumbents to a meeting where the client presents the current situation and goals. Then, all invitees are invited to submit proposals outlining how they can help and the client is free to decide on the merits of the approach.
Realistically, the incumbent should always be in a stronger position to win, but the process gives the client an alternative. And newer companies get the opportunity to bid in a situation that they wouldn't otherwise. It's a win-win-win. The process achieves the same financial result, provides a means to a superior outcome, and keeps all the suppliers on their toes.

Questions, contradictions abound in controversy over UO professor James Olmsted and Students Against Imperialism
Posted by Samantha Matsumoto on Monday, Mar. 18 at 12:27 pm.
Students Against Imperialism co-founders Diana Salazar and Jaki Salgado were prepared for controversy when they organized their mock border patrol checkpoint this past Thursday. They were not, however, expecting an altercation with University of Oregon faculty member James Olmsted.
“We were prepared for having people who were not going to agree with us,” Salgado said. “We never expected anyone to come up to the group and be so blatantly racist.”
Olmsted, an adjunct instructor in the UO Law School, was detained by the University of Oregon Police, cited for second-degree theft, two counts of physical harassment and barred indefinitely from campus. Olmsted’s alleged actions took place during the student group’s mock border checkpoint, a political theater demonstration meant to bring awareness to human rights issues of immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border and of Palestinians in the Israel-Palestine conflict.
On Friday, the university announced that Olmsted’s teaching duties had been reassigned to Adell Amos, the law school’s associate dean for academic affairs. Olmsted’s name was also removed from the adjunct faculty website.
UO spokesperson Phil Weiler said the University cannot comment on personnel matters and that the law school is handling the issue.
“(The law school) is taking the appropriate steps,” Weiler said.
By that morning, videos of Olmsted cursing at and pushing students were spreading through campus after going viral Thursday night. UO law students and faculty received an email from Phillip H. Knight Dean of Law Michael Moffitt the next day addressing the issue.
“We are aware that Mr. Olmsted was involved in an incident with students on the afternoon of Thursday, March 14,” Moffitt wrote. “As dean, I expect all members of the University of Oregon School of Law community to conduct themselves with the highest degree of professionalism and respect for public discourse, especially with those with whom they may disagree.”
According to Salazar, Olmsted did not seem aggressive at first and the group engaged him in political discussion.
“At first he didn’t come off as aggressive … he was just trying to find out what we were (demonstrating),” Salazar said.
Students began recording when the situation escalated. According to Salazar, Olmsted began making radical racist statements, saying he wanted to nuke the Middle East and telling students to start a war if they wanted change.
“If you want this country back, start a fucking war and take it back,” Olmsted said in a seven-minute video Salgado posted to YouTube. “Instead of being pussies, do something.”
“This is what we’re doing,” a student protested.
Olmsted’s tone calmed.
“This is why I stopped,” he said. “I am proud of you for that.”
According to Olmsted’s attorney, Mike Arnold, there is information missing from the story despite recordings from multiple vantage points.
“Even with the ability to record parts of a situation with audio and video, you’re still going to have huge gaps in a story,” he said.
Additionally, the video recordings bring up legal matters of whether students had the right to record Olmsted, Arnold said. Under Oregon law, the subjects of audio recording one must be notified if he or she is being recorded. However, an exception has been made for recording with an unconcealed device in public places during an event. Arnold said that it is uncertain under Oregon law whether a cell phone qualifies as an unconcealed recording device.
“The recording of him that was seized is possibly an illegal recording,” Arnold said. “It could be argued as legal or illegal.”
However, UO communications law professor Kyu Ho Youm believes there was little ground to claim a specific violation of the law, especially since the use of the recordings is not commercial.
“Whatever he was doing at the EMU amphitheater was in a public place and everybody and anybody could see it,” Youm said.
Regardless of the recording’s legality, Arnold said that without Olmsted’s input, any account of it is one-sided.
“By virtue of this being taken into legal context, it makes it impossible for Mr. Olmsted or anyone involved with him to comment on the facts, which by virtue will make the reporting of the facts one-sided,” Arnold said. “It’s just the way it is.”
UO student Andrew Seng said he believed Olmsted was trying to play the devil’s advocate with the student group to engage its members in political debate.
“A lot of times when people are doing a demonstration … they don’t really know their facts, so a lot of people try to challenge them. I thought that’s what he was doing,” Seng said. “He was saying some pretty radical things so I don’t know why any normal person would say those things.”
Seng said he doesn’t know whether Olmsted believed what he was saying or trying to spark debate.
“In either case, he took it too far,” Seng said.
Despite Olmsted’s claim that he was part of the demonstration, Salazar said she was intimidated when he dropped the motorcycle helmet he was carrying to the ground, removed his jacket and came toward her.
“This is an aggressive tone,” Salazar said during the confrontation. “I am feeling pretty threatened right now.”
When an unidentified man, who Salazar and Salgado said was not part of Students Against Imperialism, stepped forward to intervene and placed his hand on Olmsted, the now-former law instructor pushed back.
Olmsted threw his glasses to the ground, and pushed Salazar out of the way when trying to reach for them. He then noticed Salgado recording the incident on her cell phone and seized it, claiming she had no right to record him. Shortly afterwards, two UOPD officers arrived on the scene and detained Olmsted.
Since the videos have been uploaded, Salazar said support has poured in from students, faculty and staff, as well as international news sources such as the Electronic Intifada, which covered the incident.
There has also been backlash. Salazar said students have been accused of provoking Olmsted.
Seng witnessed the incident and said that this is not the case.
“I was sort of waiting around for 3o minutes … and all the sudden this guy came out of nowhere,” Seng said. “A lot of people are wondering if he was provoked but he wasn’t provoked at all.”
• Misanthrope
Regardless of whether he was provoked, it’s never okay to lay your hands on another person without their consent.
• CATE
That is right. The students started it by putting their hands on Olmsted and he pushed the guy away who was standing right up in his face with his hands on him. The students started the fight and he had a right to defend himself.
• Jose
Go home CATE Your Drunk as Olmsted
• john smith
I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt here for the reason that you may not have seen this specific video of the incident…
As you can clearly see at the 1:00 mark,Olmsted gets right in the face of the smaller student and says “My country,f—ing move me.”He then,in a very threatening manner,takes off his jacket as though he’s preparing to fight them and repeats,”move me”.Only then does the male student(who’s not even part of the demonstration,incidentally)get in between Olmsted and the female student in an attempt to diffuse the situation.While it’s true that the male student then put his hand on Olmsted’s arm(something he should not have done),once Olmsted forcefully pushes the male student away neither he nor anyone else puts their hands on Olmsted again.Meanwhile,Olmsted then pushes another female student out of the way in order to get the glasses that he threw on the ground himself.The fact that the male student put his hand on Olmsted in no way gives Olmsted the right to push the female student,who had done nothing to him.Olmsted is the clear aggressor in this situation,if you can’t see that you’re blind.
• Christopher Swing
Olmsted was clearly the aggressor here. Someone touching him in an attempt to prevent him from assaulting someone else isn’t an excuse for him to commit theft.
• CATE
I just read an article in the Emerald where they were making crazy claims calling him a racist and so on. Seriously, he is a liberal environmental law professor. I was a student at the law school and knew Olmsted 20 years ago.
From my viewing of the video, he was clearly playing devils advocate and trying to engage them in friendly but heated debate. They mistook his actions when he took off his jacket by exaggerating what he was doing because they did not understand he was trying to engage them…. I don’t get the impression those kids had the experience or background to be in a debate based on their mis-infomrtion in the school paper. They lose credibility when they make statements such as the US is planing to deport all illegal aliens. But I still don’t get why he bothered….except now I read they were having a mock border check, asking people for ID and that may mean they were not letting him pass. One student put his hands on him and got in his face, and Olmsted reacted by pushing him away from him. I would have done the same thing if someone was aggressive like that. He was within his rights to defend himself to move the guy out of an area where the guy could have done bodily harm. Also, he clearly did not mean to steal the cell phone…that is stupid and poor judgment of the police. I was under the impression it was against the law to tape someone without their permission…it is at least a gray area. When he asked them to stop filming, and they didn’t, then they went over the line. Maybe as a faculty member, he felt he was within his rights to take the phone.
if these kids have any decency, they should fess up and ask the campus to drop the charges and Olmsted should get his job back. These kids would gain credibility and trust for their cause if they acted with integrity and not ruin a man’s life for sport. They have a message behind their cause that is worth hearing, but they deliver it with such exageration, and with such ill will toward someone like Olmsted, the message is lost.
Olmsted didn’t use the best judgment, but then we still don’t have all the facts. What we do know is this group has a penchant for gross exaggerations and accusations based on the article they printed about their group in the school paper.
Also, shame on the dean of the law school for over reacting, without giving Olmsted any due process or even talking to him. Considering this is a law school where the professor worked, it is shocking there was no due process. They seem to be quite afraid of these students and eager to please. That is just embarrassing for the law school. Where are the adults and the level heads in all of this?
• Lightoening
For someone who states that “we still don’t have all the facts” you sure do throw out your opinions as if they were facts. Is that you hiding behind an alias, Professor Olmsted?
• Christopher Swing
We have enough facts to know that he committed at least two crimes.
• ehomer
If you were, in fact, a “student at the law school”, which I doubt, you must not have gotten past L1.
• CATE
Per my comments below, if Olmsted was arrested on a charge of harassment, then the kid who put his hands on him and got in his face in a physically threatening stance should be too based on that line of reasoning. The kid should be at a minimum, kicked off the campus for the same number of months. Olmsted from what I could see was acting as a teacher the whole time, telling them not to film him, taking the camera away from a disobeying student, and dealing with an unruly crowd that (I don’t know this for sure other than the article says that there was a mock border crossing) had blocked him from passing. He also appeared to be playing devils advocate to show them how outrageous their comments were. I have seen plenty of male teachers in my day tussle with students who were trying to start a fight like that kid and none of them lost their job over it. If you view it from that perspective, the students should be in trouble not Olmsted.
• Judge Judy
” I was a student at the law school and knew Olmsted 20 years ago.”
Cate – “if Olmsted was arrested on a charge of harassment, then the kid who put
should be too…”
Dude, with perceptual skills like that, how did you even get out of high school, let alone into Law School??
Cate – “Olmsted from what I could see was acting as a teacher the whole time,”
Oh, really?? The Teacher: “If you want this country back, start a fucking war and take it back, Instead
of being pussies, do something.” And what class might this be, Fuckology 404??
Cate — “taking the camera away from a disobeying student’
Cate. You entirely miss the point that the student, nor any other citizen, was under any obligation to obey your “liberal’ professor. Thank you for once again proving the point that there is no correlation between higher academic credentials and common sense.
• Christopher Swing
These aren’t children in a classroom. They’re adults with rights. Olmsted had no business engaging in theft and harassment, and no special powers as a “teacher.”
If you actually had any clue about the law, you’d understand how nonsensical a comment you’ve just written.
• Nemo
You mean the guy who was was speaking calmly and stepped between Olmsted and the girl whose cell phone he was arrested for stealing? The guy who we hear trying to diffuse the situation? He was the one who was “trying to start a fight”? You sound like a lawyer who’s used to defending guilty clients.
Olmsted may be a perfectly nice guy. Whether he is or not, he had a right to say whatever he wanted. But that’s not what got him arrested.
• shorelineliz
It seems to me that Professor Olmsted was engaging the students in a disagreement and when this young man put his hand on his shoulder then it was the young man who started the physical stuff. And if Professor Olmsted doesn’t want to be recorded on a cell phone he has a right to tell Jackie Selgado to not record him. It seems to me Ms. Selgado was infringing on the Professors “privacy rights” when she recorded him. If Selgado and others want to demonstrate on campus they can but others can disagree. and vehemently. But once someone puts their hands on someone FIRST then it is a whole nuther ball of wax and once you start “recording” people you invade their “privacy.” Ms. Selgado needs a lesson in constitutional law. Who is the Law professor and who is the student? I thought so.
• Christopher Swing
He had a right to ask to not be recorded… and anyone recording has the right to ignore the request.
You can’t infringe on someone’s “privacy rights” in a public place. They don’t exist there. That’s why it’s called a *public place.*
You really need to get a clue as to how things really work.
• Anon
The spin on this comments section makes Fox News look like a bastion of Truth and Journalism.
Sorry but it is Not against the law to film someone in public…especially not when they are screaming and being threatening…
Throwing down his jacket was clearly as signal he was ready for a physical confrontation as also communicated by his vocal level and hostile yelling. The guy was being a jerk and deserves to be run out of town.
Anyone who can look at the video and see anything different is suffering from denial…if it had been the student protestors acting like Mr. Olmsted…these same voices.. Cate/shorelineliz … would have been calling for their arrest and expulsion. Civil debate was not what Olmsted was trying to do. He was trying to start a fight.
• Paid-for-hire Mouthpiece 101
““Even with the ability to record parts of a situation with audio and
video, you’re still going to have huge gaps in a story,” said the attorney.”
And that story will surely be told, even if it’s a work of semi-fiction.
• Paid-for-hire Mouthpiece 101
” Arnold said that it is uncertain under Oregon law whether a cell phone qualifies as an unconcealed recording device.”
What a totally, idiotic statement that is in this day and age.
• NorthCascadian
“Despite Olmsted’s claim that he was part of the demonstration,…” This frankly seems the most plausible. Why would he hang around, why didn’t the students walk away from him and start talking with others? A half an hour of put-ons seems forced. Taking off his jacket and throwing down his helmet seems dramatic. Now the Huffington post has picked it up. What about Rachael Corrie? What about justice for Palestine? Nothing to talk about there now that we have this bizarre event. I want more witness testimony.
• Lewis Clements Sr.
To me it looks like he is part of the group playing a part of outraged citizen.
• Ashley
I despise people who “play devil’s advocate.” All you’re doing is being an asshole, and treating issues that deeply affect the lives of others as a game. You’re not bring up any new information, any new ideas, any new opinions. Playing devil’s advocate is being able to spew the same shitty status-quo under the guise of philosophical discussion. If you don’t really believe it, don’t fucking say it. You are helping no one.
• Ihaveseentherealterrorists
The SAI forgot to dress some of their members as mock homicide bombers. Perhaps they could have been both homicide bombers and mentally and or physically disabled to add realism.
• Ihaveseentherealterrorists
The professor had no more nor no less rights to do what he did than the students. The students did not recognize the professors exercise of his rights. This is not a classroom. If you can’t handle the fire, get out of the kitchen.
• Christopher Swing
He had no right to commit theft.
• Guest
• Ihaveseentherealterrorists
I saw someone labeled IDF in the video but I didn’t see anyone labeled Palestinian terrorist. The SAI did not want realism?
• Arafat
What about Islamic imperialism? Did Muslims really come to rule over lands spanning from Morocco to Indonesia and from the Cacus region down to The Maldives through the kindness of their heart?
What are they doing in Mali today if not the most brutal form of imperialism?
What did they do in Sudan if not the most brutal form of imperialism?
What are they doing in Nigeria today if not overt war against the Christian Animists?
What arethey doing today in Pakistan if not over war against the few remaining Hindus?
What did they do in Afghanistan centuries ago if not genocide to rid that country of all its Buddhists?
And, speaking of Buddhists, what are Muslims doing today in southern Thailand to rationalize the murder of 5,000 Buddhists over the last few years? Are the Muslims killing the Buddhists out of their innate loving kindness?
• Arafat
Olmsted is your typical liberal. Unhappy and unable to resolve his personal conflicts who resorts to causes they know little about because they project their own anger onto complex issues they are unable to truly understand.
In the old days people like Olmsted would live their lives scurried away in institutions and arguably the world was better off for it.
• Arafat
I apologize for my previous comment. After doing a little homework it’s clear I could not have been more mistaken and if I hurt professor Olmsted, his family or friends I apologize. This has to be a very difficult time for all of them.
After looking into this incidence a little bit it’s clear Olmsted is a rare man; one who is willing to stand up for principles that are important and who sees through the SJP’s wall of lies for what it really is, i.e., stealth jihad.
Olmsted reminds me of other great contemporaries like Geert Wilders, Robert Spencer among others and he is to be admired for showing the courage to confront the fascists of our day.
Here is another example of such a man:

Anna Karenina
Leo Tolstoy
Chapter 16
On the way home Levin asked all details of Kitty's illness and the Shtcherbatskys' plans, and thogh he would have been ashamed to admit it, he was pleased at what he heard. He was pleased that there was still hope, and still more pleased that she should be suffering who had made him suffer so much. But when Stepan Arkadyevitch began to speak of the causes of Kitty's illness, and mentioned Vronsky's name, Levin cut him short.
Stepan Arkadyevitch smiled harly perceptibly, catching the instantaneous change he knew so well in Levin's face, which had become as gloomy as it had been bright a minute before.
"Have you quite settled about the forest with Ryabinin?" asked Levin.
"Yes, it's settled. The price is magnificent; thirty-eight thousand. Eight straight away, and the rest in six years. I've been bothering about it for ever so long. No one would give more."
"Then you've as good as given away your forest for nothing," said Levin gloomily.
"How do you mean for nothing?" said Stepan Arkadyevitch with a good-humored smile, knowing that nothing would be right in Levin's eyes now.
"Because the forest is worth at least a hundred and fifty roubles the acre," answered Levin.
"Oh, these farmers!" said Stepan Arkadyevitch playfully. "Your tone of contempt for us poor townsfolk!...But when it comes to business, we do it better than any one. I assure you I have reckoned it all out," he said, "and the forest is fetching a very good price--so much so that I'm afraid of this fellow's crying off, in fact. You know it's not timber'" said Stpan Arkadyevitch, hoping by this distinction to convince Levin completely of the unfairness of his doubts. "And it won't run to more than twenty-five yards of fagots per acre, and he's giving me at the rate of seventy roubles the acre."
Levin smiled contemptuously. "I know," he thought, "that fahion not only in him, but in all city people, who, after being twice in ten years in the country, pick up two or three phrases and use them in season and out of season, firmly persuaded that they know all about it. Timber, run to so many yards the acre.' He says those words without understanding them himself."
"I wouldn't attempt to teach you what you write about in your office," said he, "and if need arose, I shoudl come to you to ask about it. But you're so positive you know all the lore of the forest. It's difficult. Have you counted the trees?"
"How count the trees?" said Stepan Arkadyevitch, laughing, still trying to draw his friend out of his ill-temper. "Count the sands of the sea, number the stars. Some higher power might do it."
"Oh, well, the higher power of Ryabinin can. Not a single merchant ever buys a forest without counting the trees, unless they get it given them for nithing, as you're doing now. I know your forest. I go there every year shooting, and your forest's worth a hundred and fifty roubles and acre paid dwon, while he's giving you sixty by installments. So that in fact you're making him a present of thirty thousand."
"Come, don't let your imagination run away with you," said Stepan Arkadyevitch piteously. "Why was it none would give it, then?"
"Why, because he has an understanding with the merchants; he's bought them off. I've had to do with all of them; I know them. They're not merchants, you know: they're speculators. He wouldn't look at a bargain that gave him ten, fifteen per cent profit, but holds back to buy a rouble's worth for twenty kopecks."
"Well, enough of it! You're out of temper."
"Not the least," said Levin gloomily, as they drove up to the house.
At the steps there stood a trap tightly covered with iron and leather, with a sleek horse tightly harnessed with broad collar-straps. In the trap sat the chubby, tightly belted clerk who served Ryabinin as coachman. Ryabinin himself was already in the house, and met the friends in the hall. Ryabinin was a tall, thinnish, middle-aged man, with mustache and a projecting clean-shaven chin, and promined muddy-looking eyes. He was dressed in a long-skirted blue coat, with buttons below the waist at the back, and wore high boots wrinkled over the ankles and striaght over the calf, with big goloshes drawn over them. He rubbed his face with his handkerchief, and wrapping round him his coat, which sat extremely well as it was, he greeted them with a smile, holding out his hand to Stepna Arkadyevitch, as though he wanted to catch something.
"So here you are," said Stepan Arkadyevitch, giving him his hand.
"That's capital."
"I did not venture to disregard your excellency's commands, though the road was extremely bad. I positively walked the whole way, but I am here at my time. Konstantin Dmitrievitch, my respects"; he turned to Levin, trying to seize his hand too. But Levin, scowling, made as though he did not notice his hand, and took out the snipe. "Your hnors have been diverting yourselves with the chase? What kind of bird may it be, pray?" added Ryabinin, looking contemptuously at the snipe: "a great delicacy, I suppose." And he shook his head disapprovingly, as though he had grave doubts whether this game were worth the candle.
"Would you like to go into my study?" Levin said in French to Stepan Arkadyevitch, scowling morosely. "Go into my study; you can talk there."
"Quite so, where you please," said Ryabinin with contemptuous dignity, as though wishing to make it felt that others might be in difficulties as to how to behave, but that he could never be in any difficulty about anything.
On entering the study Ryabinin looked about, as his habit was, as though seeking the holy picture, but when he had found it, he did not cross himself. He scanned the bookcases and bookshelves, and with the same dubious air with which he had regarded thesnipe, he smiled contemptuously and hook his head disapprovingly, as though by no means willing to allow that this game were worth the candle.
"Oh, don't trouble about the money. I've come to see you to talk it over."
"I don't mind if I do," said Ryabinin, sitting down and leaning his elbows on the back of his chair in a position of the intensest discomfort to himself. "You muyst knock it down a bit, prince. It would be too bad. The money is ready conclusively to the last farthing. As to paying the money down, there'll be no hitch there."
Levin, who had meanwhile been putting his gun away in the cupboard, was just going out of the door, but catching the merchant's words, he stopped.
"Why, you've got the forest for nothing as it is," he said. "He came to me too late, or I'd have fixed the price for him."
"Very close about money is Konstantin Dmitrievitch," he said with a smile, turning to Stepan Arkadyevitch; "there's positively no dealing with him. I was bargaining for some wheat of him, and a pretty price I offered too."
"Why should I give you my goods for nothing? I didn't pick it up on the ground, nor steal it either."
"Mercy on us! nowadays there's no chance at all of stealing. With the open courts and everything done in style, nowadays there's no question of stealing. We are just talking things over like gentlemen. His excellency's asking too much for the forest. I can't make both ends meet over it. I must ask for a little concession."
"But is the thing settled between you or not? If it's settled, it's useless haggling; but if it's not," said Levin, "I'll buy the forest."
"It's all youthfulness--positively nothing but boyishness. Why, I'm buying it, upon my honor, simply, believe me, forthe glore of it, that Ryabinin, and no one else, should have bought the copse of Oblonsky. And as to the profits, why, I must make what God gives. In God's name. If you would kindly sign the title-deed..."
"That's so," responed the clerk, handing him the reins and buttoning the leather apron. "But I can congratulate you on the purchase, Mihail Ignatitch?"
"Well, well..."

Utah court says judge mishandled polygamous trust - wave3.com-Louisville News, Weather & Sports
Utah court says judge mishandled polygamous trust
Posted: Updated:
The Utah Supreme Court says a lower court judge didn't meet the stated goals of a trust created to hold property owned by a polygamous sect led by the jailed-Warren Jeffs.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports that trust was designed to advance the goals of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints religion, and provide for the just wants and needs of the members.
The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that 3rd District Judge Denise Lindberg only addressed the second goal, making the trust secular.
Though the ruling may provide some vindication for members of the FLDS, it has no actual impact because nobody challenged the ruling by the deadline.
The trust holds about $100 million worth of homes and properties belonging to current and former FLDS members in two towns on the Utah-Arizona border.

Ubiquitous human computing
Ubiquitous computing means network connectivity everywhere, linking devices and systems as small as a thumb tack and as large as a worldwide product distribution chain. What could happen when people are so readily networked? This short essay explores issues arising from two possible emerging models of ubiquitous human computing: fungible networked brainpower and collective personal vital sign monitoring.

McCain Says It’s Time for Mubarak to Leave
The Associated Press
Sen. John McCain says the U.S. has to do “a better job of encouraging democracy” in the Middle East in light of the public uprising in Egypt.
McCain, who met with Obama at the White House Wednesday, said Washington must push for free elections, even if they result in lifting Islamist elements. McCain said that American officials also have to be concerned about “the threat of a repeat of the election in Gaza,” where Hamas, considered a terrorist organization, emerged with newfound powers.
Interviewed on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” the Arizona Republican said “the time has come” for Mubarak to work out a transition of power that “has the army, pro-democracy elements and others in a transition government.”
“The best opportunity for a pro-democracy government and not a radical, Islamic government is an open, transparent process,” McCain said. ”This virus spreading through the Middle East proves the human yearnings, and probably the only place you won’t see the demonstrations is Iraq.”

Here are 10 Big Ten stories to check out today
We also may have seen the birth of the Wolverines’ next great point guard in Derrick Walton, Jr., who notched a double-double. This wasn’t a points and assists double-double, either, as Walton did it with points and rebounds. Brandan Quinn of offers video analysis of Michigan’s big win.
Is a reason why Ohio State seemingly can’t get over the hump this season because of a lack of NBA talent? Doug Lesmerises of thinks Michigan, Michigan State, Indiana and Wisconsin all have more NBA talent than Ohio State. And, he’s correct.
Yes, Michigan State’s Gary Harris is struggling. But he is looking forward, not back. He’s coming off a 3-of-20 shooting effort in a loss at Wisconsin and is averaging just 12.3 points in the last four games while hitting only 7-of-30 shots from three-point land. Still, Harris is a Big Ten Player of the Year candidate. He’s had that kind of season. But he’ll need to pick up the pace if he wants to lead MSU to the Big Ten title.
Michigan’s win last night at OSU may have put it in the driver’s seat in the conference chase. Still, the Big Ten crown may come down to Feb. 23, when Michigan State visits Michigan. And, that just might be when the Spartans—who figure to be without Keith Appling (wrist) this week–finally have a full complement of players after seemingly having at least one key player out most of the season.
Speaking of league player of the year contenders, how about Iowa’s Roy Devyn Marble? He is the only Big Ten player who has scored in double-figures in every conference game this season.
Marble is No. 2 in scoring in Big Ten action with a 17.8 average. Indiana’s Yogi Ferrell—who leads in scoring–and Nebraska’s Terran Petteway each have been held to single-digits once in Big Ten action this season.
Can Nebraska make the postseason? The push begins now.
Why the optimism? Here is why: Nebraska (12-10 overall; 4-6 Big Ten) plays five of its last eight regular-season games at home — where the Cornhuskers are 10-1 — and only two of its remaining foes have winning records in league action. Nebraska hasn’t won more than eight conference games since 1998-99. And it hasn’t been to the postseason since making the NIT three seasons ago. This is gonna be interesting.
Nice story on the Pitinos here. Father Rick’s advice to son Richard: Stay at Minnesota. In fact, Papa Pitino says “It’s a perfect place for (Richard) to become something special like Bo Ryan.” Oh, and if you were wondering why Pitino’s youngest son wore that chicken costume at a recent Gophers game, it’s explained in that link, too.
Pat Chambers? On the hot seat? At Penn State? C’mon. Get serious, people. Jeez.
Bet you didn’t know that Illinois coach John Groce likes 80s music. Or that his fav tune from that era is “Come on Eileen” by Dexys Midnight Runners, their one hit. What does this have to do with anything? Well, Groce doesn’t want freshmen Kendrick Nunn and Malcolm Hill to be one-hit wonders after their breakouts at Penn State on Sunday. Pretty cute, huh?
My take: It’s true. I did the calculations.
My take: Who saw this coming? I didn’t.
My take: My thoughts exactly.
My take: Lots of poor shots.
My take: Very impressive.
My take: Big Ten Coach of the Year? Maybe?
My take: Hard to do.
My take: I hope it happens.
My take: Not bad. I think this is a reachable goal.

Buffalo Bills news, 5/23: Mike Pettine's defense fascinating fans, media
Timothy T. Ludwig-USA TODAY Spor
The versatility Mike Pettine wants in his players keeps fans and the media interested in what it will look like and keep them guessing. It's exactly what Pettine wants opposing offenses to do, too.

Inside The Bills | Safety update: A. Williams adapting
"He’s doing a nice job, and that’s a difficult thing," said defensive coordinator Mike Pettine of Williams. "You could make the argument, he’s a DB and he’s staying at DB. But the safety world is very different from the corner world. He’s very intelligent. He’s soaking it all in. Every day is a challenge for him as far as new concepts in the play book. I think he’s done a real nice job buying in and really getting quickly to the graduate level details of it."

"I like what I’ve seen out there. They say it’s kind of fast right now, but as far as terminology, which is pretty much the hardest part, they say they’ve got it down," said Johnson. "So now it’s just about going out there and playing and they’ve made plays and there are some that have been left out there, but overall I like what I’ve seen."

"I’m very confident (the issues are behind me). Everything in the past, I’m not here to defend those things at all. Those are things that are real, they happened and I’m maturing. I’ve done the right things since then talking to the right people, getting the right advice, not being afraid to ask for help, so I’m a growing person." Rogers added, "I cherish this, I cherish it like gold. This is it, it’s my last opportunity."
Show and prove: Bills QB Kevin Kolb - AFC East Blog - ESPN
"The job will eventually go to Manuel whenever he’s ready. That could happen in Week 1, Week 10 or the following season. The best Buffalo can hope for is for Kolb to play decent football long enough this season for Manuel to develop."

Home » Business, Home & Garden, Lifestyle, Living, Shopping & Deal » We Love Animals Offers a Convertible Pet Seat Cover Fit to Be Used for Any Vehicles
We Love Animals, a family owned business, is offering a convertible pet seat cover that is fit to be used for any vehicles. The pet seat cover is designed specifically to meet the needs of pet owners for a car seat cover with wider coverage and allows easy installation. It is made from high quality materials to guarantee its quality and meet the needs of car owners.
It is given that cleaning car seats is a bit challenging especially when pets leave stubborn dirt and stains. With this, We Love Animals made sure that they can offer a product that could resolve these issues. The owners of the company are also pet owners who understand the struggles of ordinary pet owners who love bringing their pets for long rides.
The pet car seat cover that We Love Animals is offering is designed and made from materials that can help in avoiding dirt and other stains from staining the car seat. Unlike other car seat covers that are heavy and made from materials that can easily wear out, this product is made from 3 layers of PU waterproofing that can protect the car seat from any form of liquid. Also, the waterproofing material used is lighter than other materials used for creating seat covers and is considered safer than the regular PVC used with regular seat covers.
Through the use of the pet car seat cover, pet lovers as well as those who tend to bring their pets in their cars will gain awareness that there is a product that completely meets what they are looking for from a seat cover. The product is designed to be wide enough to cover the back seat of any vehicles from regular SUVs to trucks. Also, it is designed with an extra flap on the sides for complete protection. It can also be converted into a hammock for maximum protection of the car seat.
We Love Animals is a family owned business and the company behind the smart design of the pet car seat cover. Aside from assuring users that the product is made from high quality materials, the company guarantees the results of using the product as they are also using it in their own vehicle. The owners also own a dog they saved from years ago and named it DJ. They have managed to treat their dog as a family member, which helped them in understanding what other dog lovers or fur parents are looking for in a car seat cover. The family is also using the product, which proves the effectiveness of the cover when protecting their car seats.
For more information about the product or for those who want to place their orders for the cover, do check the availability of the item on their Amazon page at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DL6Z0AE

Facyson and McLaughlin climbing fast up Virginia Tech's depth chart
April 13, 2013|By Norm Wood, nwood@dailypress.com | 757-247-4642
BLACKSBURG — Brandon Facyson called his father in February and asked if he might be able to come home to Georgia for a few days over a weekend. Facyson had been on campus at Virginia Tech for about a month and was feeling a little homesick.
He's always had great relationships with his parents and stepparents, so his dad's response was a shock to the system. The answer from his 24-year Navy veteran dad was no.
Facyson, who is one of seven freshmen on Tech's football roster to enroll early in January and participate in spring practices, needed to get used to time away from home. Among those early enrolling true freshmen, Facyson and left tackle Jonathan McLaughlin have made themselves at home the quickest.
"I think what really got me at first was me being here, and my friends still being in high school," said Facyson, a 6-foot-2, 183-pound cornerback who graduated in December from Northgate High in Newnan, Ga. "It took me a little while to adjust. I wanted to go home a couple of weekends, but my dad just wouldn't let me."
Facyson's dad, Frederick, spoke to the father of Tech sophomore J.C. Coleman, a running back who enrolled early in January 2012, about the virtues of enrolling early. Coleman's dad said the extra practice time and exposure to college life was a big help, according to Brandon.
A couple months after he first asked to come home, Brandon is grateful for his dad refusing to welcome his own son back home.
"I feel like I'm putting in the work," said Facyson, who is majoring in biology after graduating high school with a 3.9 grade point average, and who aspires to become a cardiologist. "I'm learning. I'm making mistakes, but that's normal for an incoming freshman."
Facyson worked Saturday in a scrimmage with the second team defense behind starter Kyle Fuller, while McLaughlin has already ascended to first-team left tackle, ahead of junior Mark Shuman. Facyson had an interception in the scrimmage.
Among the other early enrollees, defensive tackle Woody Baron is also working with the second-team defense. Left tackle Parker Osterloh, a freshman who graduated early from Warhill High, is on the third-team offense. Fullback Jerome Wright, defensive end Seth Dooley and quarterback/wide receiver Carlis Parker all are getting reps deeper down the depth chart.
McLaughlin, a 6-4, 306-pound native of Mauldin, S.C., isn't your average early enrollee. He spent last fall as a high school postgraduate at Fork Union Military Academy.
"I'm somewhat surprised, but I've worked hard this spring," said McLaughlin of playing with the first team. "I don't know if I'll be there next week or not, but I'm going to keep working until I'm there.
"(Enrolling early is) a big advantage. You get to learn the offense as soon as possible. The sooner you learn the offense, the better you can get at technique."
Nothing is written in stone on Tech's offensive line, especially with so much shuffling taking place after spring practice-ending injuries to starting left guard David Wang and backup guard Nick Acree.
Andrew Miller, who is normally the starting center, is playing right guard. Brent Benedict, who is usually the starting right guard, is at left guard. Caleb Farris is working at first team center, and Laurence Gibson is at first-team right tackle.
"We're trying to put pressure on people to perform and moving people around, finding out where people fit and creating a lot of competition in that area," Tech first-year offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler said.
One of the players who has to be feeling the most pressure is Shuman, a once highly recruited prospect who now finds himself playing behind a guy who's been on Tech's campus for three months.
"I'll be interested to see how Mark blocked (in Saturday's scrimmage), but your effort and your consistency, I think that all goes into who's on first team and who's on second team," said Tech coach Frank Beamer, who added he likes McLaughlin's athleticism and mentality. "During spring, it can always change daily. We want (Shuman) to really come along."
While McLaughlin continues to excel on the offensive side, Facyson is learning under the watchful eye of defensive backs coach Torrian Gray. Facyson said he's gotten used to the push-ups Gray makes him do when he messes up "the little things" on the field.
"He just wants the little things right, because when the little things are right, the bigger things will come," Facyson said.
Facyson finally made it back home over spring break, but the old neighborhood doesn't look the same. Blacksburg is getting to be a more inviting place every day.
"I'm not homesick anymore," Facyson said.

University Libraries Receives In-Kind Donation
Linda Wade ’89 M.S.’01 has been employed with Western Illinois University Libraries for over 25 years, and currently serves as the Unit Coordinator for Digitization. Her husband, David Wade, is currently enrolled in Western’s graduate program. “Western and University Libraries have had a significant impact on our lives,” said Linda Wade, “We knew University Libraries had a need, and it seemed like a natural fit for us to fulfill this need.” The Wades donated a Canon Rebel camera with accessories for the libraries digitization unit, an in-kind value of just over $1,000.
According to Linda Wade, “This camera will allow the digitization unit to replace an old scanner. It will also allow us to digitize items we were unable to include in our digital collection in the past. We are going to be able to share more than just our documents with this camera set-up.”
“I was awe-struck when Linda came to me and said that she and her husband wished to donate the camera to the digitization unit”, said Michael Lorenzen, Dean of Libraries, “For an employee to give back in such a manner is worthy of emulation. I am looking forward to the expansion of our digital collection.” The camera and accessories have been received and, once set up and tested, the Digitization Unit should be able to start using shortly.

Do you agree with the Supreme Court's ruling that a ban on depictions of animal cruelty violates free speech?
The Supreme Court struck down a federal law aimed at banning videos that show graphic violence against animals, saying it violates the right to free speech. The justices, voting 8-1, threw out the criminal conviction of Robert Stevens of Pittsville, Va., who was sentenced to three years in prison for videos he made about pit bull fights.
What do you think? Does the government's interest in prohibiting illegal treatment of animals override the right to free expression?

What does free speech have to do with cruelty to animals? This is another one of Obama's schemes to strip us of more of our freedoms. Particularly our free speech, where we will no longer be able to do exactly what we are doing now....fighting for our rights/freedoms. This is a ploy to strip us of our gun rights as well as our free speech. It is just like the healthcare bill where many of our freedoms were stripped that had absolutely nothing to do with healthcare. I hope people wake up and realize what this socialist/Hitler is doing to our country.
• As a hunter, I am very happy to see this law overturned. I try to see how every law could be abused by the wrong person (people), and this one was easily pushed beyond the limits. It was not a stretch to see this law used to ban all hunting and fishing videos. Isn't Babe Winkelman torturing those poor fish before he let's them go? Even if you believe that this law was passed with good intentions, the language was so broad that it was ripe for abuse.
2 Recommendations
Eric wrote: "Even if you believe that this law was passed with good intentions, the language was so broad that it was ripe for abuse." The "animal rights" INDUSTRY (e.g., H$U$,Peta,et al) LOVES broad language, and they (esp. H$U$) often provide "model" laws which definitely tread on the Bill of Rights guarantees. H$U$'s CEO, Wayne Pacelle, has made it plain many times in the past (though he's trying to re-write history as to what he said and the radical agenda it exposes) that he is AGAINST hunting, for example, as well as denying constitutional protections for *animal owners* if in the AR industry's view they are not taking *perfect* care of not-too-many animals. Of course, this is all their "propaganda mill" BIG LIES, and throws up a smokescreen of their true agenda--no animal use.
There are PLENTY of web sites now that expose the "animal rights" heavyweights, in particular, and explain the polar difference between animal rights and animal welfare. We protect accused human x human criminals, but the attempt is to treat animal neglect/cruelty as equivalent to human x human crimes as equal in heinousness--BUT take away an *accused* animal abuser's constitutional rights, i.e., guilty unless you have enough money (thousands) to fight in court against your accusers--and most don't They are often selected *because they are good victims* who can't defend themselves, therefore allowing in way too many cases *seizure under color of law* that is sanctioned and allowed by "the system".
The AR industry knows how to use legal means and lobbying, as well as their "propaganda" to tweak, distort, pass laws that have some good intention and LOTS of wiggle room to go after animal owners--this applies to pet owners, pet breeders, rescues, livestock owners/breeders/processors, i.e., ANY use of animals that can be smeared/vilified. The H$U$, for example, has many animal law attorneys on staff to write "model" legislation that will *incrementally* fruther the AR agenda. Same thing for the ALDF---incremental laws that make animal ownership and use more difficult, more regulated and unpleasant, and more expensive, so that people will just quit rather than take a chance on being a target (even if wrongfully so).
The media cooperates in this AR-promoted farce, and people's lives are ruined at the get-go--guilty unless they can afford to defend themselves in court. This is un-American and unconstitutional!

Canada Immigration Centre and Port of Entry files [textual record].
Series consists of
Place of creation
No place, unknown, or undetermined
2.4 m of textual records
Scope and content
Series consists of records created and/or maintained by various Canada Immigration Centres (CICs) and Ports of Entry. The ports of entry are offices at the first point of contact between immigrants or visitors and the immigration service at the Canadian border. The first ports of entry were the ocean ports described under the Records of Entry and the "border ports of entry" first established in 1908. The present practice of officially designating these offices by Order in Council did not begin until some time after this date. The number of ports of entry has varied from just under one hundred in 1908 to 687 in April 1986. Ports of entry perform the first inspection (now referred to as the PIL or Primary Inspection Line) and if necessary refer the immigrant to the next or secondary inspection at an office "inland" - now the Canada Immigration Centre. Many port of entry offices have been and are staffed not by Immigration employees but by Customs officers performing immigration duties by formal arrangement between the two departments. Generally speaking, short-term visitors to Canada are documented, if they are recorded at all, only at the port of entry. The Canada Immigration Centres or CICs grew out of the port of entry offices, and were first established in their present form shortly after 1966 (date of the creation of the new Department of Manpower and Immigration and the counterpart Canada Manpower Centres). They provide a wider range of services to immigrants than the ports of entry, generally after the immigrant has passed the primary inspection at the port (some ports of entry are, however, combined with or adjacent to the CIC, in contrast to the "inland CICs" which serve more than one port and may be located away from the border area). The CIC thus is responsible for the reception of persons who cannot be dealt with in a final way at the border without further examination - what is now called "secondary" inspection. It also provides some types of advice and documentation needed by immigrants and visitors already within the country. The CIC may also have enforcement staff to deal with immigration irregularities; in a few major centres partially independent "enforcement CICs" have been set up to deal with large volumes of illegal cases. The CIC is not, however, responsible for settlement/ adjustment services for immigrants already accepted and living in Canada; these since 1966 have been provided separately through the Canada Manpower/Employment Centres. Generally speaking, therefore, the CIC is the main responsibility centre and office of record for the acceptance of immigrants and control of immigration irregularities at the field office level. The records in this series relate to the functions and activities of a variety of CICs from across the country.

Like the Police Patrol, the Police Cruiser can be found at any LCPD station, and is dressed in LCPD livery (based on that of the NYPD). It is faster and more agile than the Police Patrol. The Police Cruiser's chassis is also shared with Vapid's NOOSE Cruiser and Taxi. The grill was probably inspired by toy police cars that can be found in several stores in New York, which are based in the Ford Crown Victoria but have a larger, more rectangular grill and lack of manufacturer emblem.

ZSAdded by ZS
The Police Cruiser is an amalgamation of various Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptors, thus probably powered by a tuned V8. Its tail lights are similar to those of a 1992-1994 model; the chassis, including: windows, headlights (however upside down, similar to a 1992-1997 Mercury Grand Marquis), and front and rear bumpers resemble those of the 1992-97 models; and the grille and hood look like those of the 1998-2011 models. The dashboard instrument cluster is unlike the Ford product, consisting of only a tachometer, speedometer, fuel gauge and temperature gauge rather than the Crown Victoria's speedo, tach, central screen and gauges for fuel, temperature, oil pressure and volts.
The Police Cruiser does not appear as a drivable car in GTA Chinatown Wars (as the Police Patrol is the only police car in the game), but does occasionally surface as an aesthetic element of "busted" sequences, when a pre-rendered depiction of a modified Police Cruiser may be seen.
In GTA V, the Vapid Police Cruiser is a vehicle used by the Los Santos Police Department. In the announcement trailer, a sports car is chased by a Police Cruiser. The new Police Cruiser boasts a white and black livery with LSPD markings. The skin is modled off of LAPD's iconic police skin, also instead of a V-BAR type lights,it has standerd police car lights. The Vapid Police car seems to have a new handeling line which will fix the problem, that if go around a corner fast and hit the curb your car will flip. From the trailer you can spot 3 different police vehicles that will patrol along side the standerd crusier in the city, in the countryside there is a "Sheriff's Cruiser" variant of the Vapid Police crusier. It is painted white and will probably be found along the city limits and beyond. The variant will probably have the same V-8 Interceptor Engine.
Police Cruiser
Based off the Ford Crown Victoria, here is the LSPD/SAPD Vapid Police cruiser, very similar to the one from GTA IV.
The Police Cruiser's high-performance V-8 (which real life variant is Ford's Police Interceptor V-8 engine) produces an impressive amount of torque off the line, and accelerates well. It has a low rev limit, which can be felt at higher rpms. Also, the engine feels as if it runs out of steam before the transmission switches gear. It has a higher top speed than its Declasse-branded competitor, but will not get there faster than the latest Bravado offering.
Another variant of the Police Cruiser in TBoGT, internally named "policew", oddly exists as a completely wrecked but drivable version of the GTA IV Police Cruiser. Depicted with a completely charred bodywork, the policew has no siren, non-functional lights and no radio, and emits a horn sounding like that of the Brickade's. Despite being a wreck, the policew is still vulnerable to damage from collisions and weapons. The vehicle however still has well above average performance, one nearly of that comparable to the Police Buffalo, instead of the regular performance as found in its un-wrecked Vapid counterpart. It has the motor sound of that found in the Police Buffalo, and its acceleration is the equivalent, along with top speed, and handling. The physical motor acts as if nothing is wrong with it, and runs as healthy as any good motor. Aside mods or hacking, the policew is otherwise unobtainable in the game. The car is regarded as a conventional traffic vehicle, and as a result, may also spawn in traffic if the player is driving a policew themselves.
Use in side-missions
When the player is stationary in any police vehicle they can access the Police Computer (this is done by pressing the L1 button (PlayStation 3), the LB button (Xbox 360), or the E key (PC), which lets Niko search for the most wanted criminals, monitor recent crimes in the area, search the police records and even call for backup. This is where the player can start the Vigilante-style side-missions and the Most Wanted side-missions.
• Like other emergency vehicles with roof-mounted strobe lights in GTA IV, the Police Cruiser's siren will malfunction by wailing in random, distorted pitches if the strobe light housing is significantly damaged by gunfire, falling objects, or rolling of the vehicle. The second and third sirens noises are also disabled, leaving the car with only the malfunctioning siren noise.
• A bug exists where in GTA IV a fixed police car can be driven with a distorted siren, requiring the "repair car cheat", or, in multiplayer, a health kit. However, if the player turns off the siren while it is like this, then turns it back on, it will return to normal.
• In GTA IV multiplayer, the Police Cruiser, Enforcer, and the Annihilator are the only vehicles used by law enforcement, regardless of one's Wanted level.
• On the GTA IV DVD case, a Police Cruiser can be seen. However, the Police Cruiser on the case has the headlights and front bumper of a 1998–2011 Crown Victoria, when compared to the in-game model.
• In multiplayer, the Police Cruiser has a normal radio; the same applies to all other emergency vehicles, and the Securicar.
• In the Beta, the Police Cruiser had a registration number on the trunk, instead of the LCPD logo.
• Be careful when attempting to "save" a Police Cruiser (or Police Patrol) in a parking spot. Often times police officers will just enter the car and drive off, despite it being parked in "your" parking spot. This occurs with either a lone policeman, or if a policeman is chasing and apprehending a non-player criminal on the street then both will enter the car and the police officer will drive off. This tends to occur more often after just loading a save.

1. Does your dog act differently when you're sick?
I'm home with the flu right now and the dog has been extra clingy. She's usually very cuddly but she's been velcroed to me - following me from room to room, curling up next to me wherever I am, trying to get into my lap constantly. It's either because I'm a target of opportunity since I'm not at work or she's freaked out that I'm acting differently.
Just wondering if other people's dogs do this.
2. #2
My dog also acted differently when I was feeling sick. He didn't ask to go outside as often, seemed to be quieter and calmer too. He also seemed to be more cuddly. I suppose any change in routine is cause for concern for our dogs.
3. #3
When I am sick my dog clings to me until I am 100 percent well again. She does not let me out of her sight. What was really fun was when I was pregnant with my daughter she got extremely clingy a few days before I found out and for the duration of the nine months not only was she overly clingy she was extra protective. She wouldn't let our other dog at the time near me at all. She would barracade herself between me and other people. The only person she would let near me was my husband. (She wasn't mean or anything about it, she would just position herself constantly between me and other people and animals, okay she was a jerk to the other dog though about it)
So yeah I think when you are sick (or pregnant) they sense something different is going on.
4. Absolutely! All of my dogs over the years have been very clingy when I'm sick. Harley and Jake have the names Nancy Nurse and Doctor Death for this reason.
5. #5
Yes they do...they look at me like..."so does this mean we are going to get less attention and no walks?...you selfish $#@!..."

7. Baily in general is a clingy cuddly dog. When we are sick, she's 50 times worse. She HAS to be laying between your legs when you're laying down. Makes for a lot of fun when you have to rush to the bathroom. lol.
8. Every dog I ever had seems to sense the mood and well being of their owner. I think it is inherent in a dogs senses. Plain and simple dogs sense stuff we cannot. They have even discovered dogs that can detect cancer. Yes your dog knows when things are not right with you physically and emotionally, and will typically calm down and become a source of comfort. They expect you to know when they need you and they know when you need them.
9. No, my dogs act exactly the same as they usually do. When I'm upset though, they act differently.
Like now, since thinking about what to do with Serenity, she is acting very different from her normal self at times. It's quite annoying. Which just makes me feel bad.
So, I'm sure they know when I'm sick, they just don't care.
10. Mine definitely know when I'm sick. They are a lot more clingy I guess you could say. Want to be close to me.....well even more than usual LOL. When I hurt myself, OMG they are all over me like stink on $#@! trying to make me feel better. :)
11. I dont really get sick but she went ballistic when I sprained my foot and I was limping on crutches
12. I've been sick for the past three weeks; Andy has yet to give a rat's patootie.

Yup. Lucy pretty much pins me to the bed until I'm well, or bf comes to drag me out for work. She's a good little fever inducer though, cuts my sick time in half after 12 hours of sweating my cold out.

In Peanut's world
well i was sick yesterday (no more bratwurst for me) Peanut ignored me when he normally is clingy. I couldn't get him to visit me he went off to my family to hang out with them since he got to play with them. when i started feeling a little better he must have sensed that because he brought me his toy to play inside fetch with him. He has been back to clingy today. i guess i have the backwards brat :)

I just got my husband's cold and feel like crap and Veronica sees no reason why I can't get get off my $#@! and play with her and run her in and out like 50umpth times so she can pretend to squat and pee (like I can't see nothing is coming out) just so she can thump the biscuit jar with her nose and try to shake me down. (Actually I think she senses when I am not at my best and exploits the fact that I am high on cold medicine.)

I have a chronic pain disorder called Trigeminal neuralgia and when I am in bed due to a pain attack my dogs (Samson an APBT and Daphne a miniature schnauzer) stay right with me. If I don't get up and make them go out to potty and eat they won't.
Also Daphne has started kind of knowing when the pain is going to flare up and she will get in my face and smell my breath....I know when she does this to start taking pain medicine to try and stave off the worst of the pain. If she was younger and more social with dogs (lol) I would love to make her a service dog so I could go out more and stuff without the fear of a pain attack coming on without warning and incapacitating me.....

Hire best candidates ?for police and fire jobs
Cheektowaga, Lancaster and many other towns throughout Western New York hire the best and the brightest. Recently in Lancaster and Cheektowaga, they were comparing candidates who all scored in the top 1 percent on a recent police exam. Candidates then go through a thorough background check and character evaluation. No matter who they choose, they are getting a top candidate for years to come.
So why are the citizens of Buffalo being shortchanged when it comes to police and fire candidates? Why should the city be forced to select inferior candidates? Why do the Police and Fire Departments accept candidates with scores in the 70s? Then when these applicants struggle to maintain a passing grade at their respective academies, they are sometimes passed through.
Recently two fire candidates failed and the fire commissioner refused to terminate them. We're not talking about a clerical position here, we're talking about potential firefighters who will someday make decisions that could mean the difference between life or death. Decisions that could save a citizen's life or a firefighter's life. All citizens and firefighters deserve candidates they can depend on if their lives are on the line.
If needed, have civil service exams every two years instead of every four years. Let the commissioner hire the secretaries and clerical staff, that's where his strengths are. And leave the training and evaluations up to the chief of training, who sees these candidates every day for two months. Why not expect the best and brightest when it comes to life-and-death situations? To all of Buffalo's bravest, stay safe.

More respect needed ?to solve our problems
Thanks to Michelle Boorstein for her Viewpoints article pointing out the reality of one of our most challenging issues today, religious freedom. Being founded on democratic principles of the individual's right to freedom of religious and political beliefs, our society has become so complex we're on overload. I just hope and pray that people in our country with whatever heritage and belief systems can take a step back from the conflicts.
I believe that respect for each other as human beings has to come into play to solve our challenges. This means respect for each other's needs, thoughts and rights. The arguments are all about how people as much as possible can achieve some kind of contentment and security in their lives. If we don't start finding common ground and respect for each other, the individual freedoms don't have a chance!

Energy project will bring ?low-cost power to state
The Aug. 11 News story, "Energy plan may raise upstate cost," nearly exclusively aired the opposition. The Champlain Hudson Power Express project, an innovative, underwater 333-mile transmission line, will bring clean, low-cost power to New York State, and will not raise upstate power prices, according to economic studies conducted by London Economics International.
The Champlain Hudson Power Express will lower costs to energy consumers across the state by an estimated $650 million annually. The New York Public Service Commission estimates these savings may be as high as $720 million. While it is true that these cost savings would mainly occur in the Hudson Valley, the New York metro area and Long Island, upstate power prices will remain stable.
The clean hydro power that will be transported on this line will come from new generation sources now being developed and will not take any low-cost power from Canada that is currently going into upstate and Western New York. Furthermore, since this project is being financed 100 percent by the private sector, ratepayers and taxpayers will not be responsible for any of the costs associated with the development, construction or commercialization of the line. By relying on private sources of funding, the Champlain Hudson Power Express will free up scarce resources needed to upgrade existing transmission systems in Western New York and other areas of the state.
We agree that New York needs many new projects to address its long-term energy future, and this project is only one piece of a larger puzzle. That said, with this project, New York has an opportunity to bring this low-cost power to the state and with it cut energy rates, create jobs and deliver cleaner air without the need for an overhead transmission line running down state.

Fudoli has insulted ?workers and veterans
On Aug. 20, Erie County employees gathered outside of the Lancaster Town Hall in protest of remarks made by Town Supervisor Dino Fudoli. It seems he believes that government is the enemy and all government employees are lazy. If that's what he thinks, then that's what he thinks. The folks who assembled wanted to be certain that Fudoli understands that they are not all like their fellow government employee Dino Fudoli.
This came about at the same time that Fudoli is trying to nix a veterans cemetery from being established in Lancaster. Right now, the closest veterans cemetery to Erie County is in Bath. Some of the people in the crowd were U.S. veterans and they felt insulted by Fudoli. It seems he would rather see a hamburger served than a place that honors those who served their country. I'm sure most of the people in Lancaster feel differently than Fudoli. Fudoli is excelling at giving Lancaster a black eye, but not much else. Bob Giza, where are you?

Amherst must integrate? nature with community
Amherst residents are hearing that we need to "swap" the Westwood Country Club for the Audubon Golf Course so that it can be used for a massive development complex. This move is being touted as necessary to fully integrate the University at Buffalo with the community. In reality, we have been integrating UB for decades and have done it well. A more pressing issue for Amherst, however, is integrating nature with the community. The preservation of green space and the integration of nature has always been a significant part of the appeal of Amherst and a reason many chose to live here.
It is both sad and embarrassing that Amherst now has the reputation of being a haven for mindless overdevelopment. A condition and portrayal other communities work diligently to avoid.
Critical thinking and logical consequences inextricably link the pattern of developing green space with the destruction of wildlife and their habitats. If we continue along the road of developing our remaining green spaces, even though existing developed spaces remain vacant, we can expect more of our "nuisance" wildlife being displaced and eliminated. Unfortunately, it is the inhumane killing of Amherst beavers that brought to the forefront the importance of our responsibility in balancing and integrating nature within the community.

Great Compilation
by Pyrite
Every scene is fun to watch and the girls are hot, horny and having fun. Lexi Belle's POV is great. Katie St. Ives is energetic. Cassandra is hardcore. Natalie Norton is amazing in her scene. She is incredibly beautiful here and you can see her having orgasm after orgasm. This is Natalie with her natural C-cups (before changing her name to Madison Fox and getting very fake tits and lots of facial plastic surgery.)Disc two is by far better than disc 1.
Decent Cheerleader Title
by East Coast Guy
Disc 2 is slightly better than disc 1. Both offer 6 girls, only Lavanna from Disc 1 was above average sex. Disc 2 has a couple of girls that actually fit the role of a cheerleader in looks, petite Katie St. Ives and Lexi Belle. Camera angles on both discs are lacking, with too many closeups and the sex at times is awkward otherwise it is an ok rental.

Pair of Australians win a race to the top — or to the 86th floor, anyway.
Aussies captured the top spots in the men’s and women’s races in the annual Empire State Building Run-up on Wednesday night (NZT Thursday).
‘‘I’m so thrilled that I won,’’ Walsham said, adding that in comparison to previous years: ‘‘I feel surprisingly good’’ at the finish. She’s run the race a total of six times.
Bourne was doing the climb for the second time.
It’s ‘‘a great feeling to come out on top,’’ he said.
The previous men’s champion, Thomas Dold of Germany, did not race for what could have been his eighth consecutive title.
About 700 people from around the world did take part — up 86 flights of stairs at the Empire State Building. That’s a total of 1576 steps, starting at the lobby and finishing at the observation deck.
The race ‘‘is a real challenge,’’ said Mary Wittenberg, president and chief executive of NYRR.
‘‘This is not something you do any day of the week.’’
She added: ‘‘It’s a — pun intended — high.’’

Forever in Infamy!

Thank you xXLaylaxX for reviewing! Hope you enjoy the chapter. Mikey's Point Of View.

I carefully took the dress, the exact same dress she tried on, out of the bag and put it into the box, then wrapped it. She's going to be surprised. I thought of what would be the look on her face when she saw it. I know she likes the dress, I just hope she'll accept it. I still felt a little bad about guilting her, but I just wanted to get her a present. I think she'll accept it. Alex's art thing is tonight. She's sleeping over my house after and Gerard's gonna be sleeping at Frank's house tonight which makes it even better. Just me and her. I got some of the newer Doctor Who seasons on DVD and Nightmare Before Christmas and I got Gummy Bears, Skittles, Jelly Belly jelly beans, Cherry 7up (one of Alex's favorites), A&W cream soda, and vegan friendly cookies. I even made blueberry muffins (one of Alex's favorite foods). My mom and dad are still out of town on buisness. They're never home but they still pay the bills and keep food on the table. I made my mind change subjects. Gee was upstairs straightening his hair and putting on eyeliner getting ready to go pick up Frank. Hayden said he had a ride and Alex's dad was driving her. Her mom wouldn't come. She said it was a waste of time. Sometimes I wish I could just strangle the woman. Alex's stepmom and grandparents and three of her siblings were all gonna be there, but not only will her mom not come but she also totally dissed the whole thing. I reminded myself to forget about Alex's mom and focus on the idea that soon I'd be seeing Alex.
"Hey Gee, I'll be back soon. I want to go do something before we leave." I grabbed the car keys and left with the gift.
I nervously rang the doorbell. Alex's dad opened the door.
"Hi Mikey." he said smiling. "Come on in." I walked in and after making a bit of small talk went upstairs to be greeted by Alex's four year old brother Hiro and two year old sister Lisa who immediatly tried to tackle me.
"We got you!" Hiro screamed.
"Got you!" Lisa screamed out laughing.
"Awex! We've got your boyfriend captive! Can we make him walk the plank?!" Hiro called out.
"Arrrrr me hearties, me thinks we should let him live and make him swab the deck. Do ye concur?"
"Aye!" their little kid voices yelled in unison.
"Or ye could join our crew under the black flag of the Jolly Roger and live forever in infamy!" Alex offered as she stepped into view with a pirate hat on.
"Forever in infamy!" her two siblings screamed enthusiastically.
"It would be my honor to sail the seven seas with such an incredible captin and crew." I said bowing as the to little ones released me. Alex threw me a wooden sword. "Forever in infamy!" I cheered holding my sword up high.
"FOREVER IN INFAMY!" they all shouted, drawing their swords and raising them high and proud.
"So me matey, why havest ye come?" Alex asked me while her brother and sister ran around excitedly.
"Fair maiden," I took her hand as I got down on one knee and kissed her hand. "I havest come to bestow upon you this token of my gratitude." And with that I handed her the present. Her eyes got all wide and sparkly. She carefully untied the ribbon then slowly tore off the paper. After she got off all the paper, she opened the box.
Her eyes got wide as saucer dishes. Her beautiful mouth formed a little o as she stared at it. She blinked a couple times and I got ready for her to refuse to keep it.
"Mikes, you...thank you!" she threw her arms around me and hugged me really hard. "Mikey you really shouldn't of! I don't deserve it!" she said, still hugging me.
"Trust me, you do." I said, completely serious.
"Thank you Mikes." she started nibbling my ear lightly. I surpressed a moan.
"Should we take this to the bedroom?" she nodded. I carried her bridal style into her room and set her on the bed. She went back to nibbling on my ear. "Such a tease." I said. She giggled and kissed me. I deepened the kiss. We kept kissing, but suddenly Alex stopped.
"What's wrong?" I whispered to her. I looked down and realized I had one hand cupping her breast. I could immediatly feel myself blushing. I took my hand off. "Sorry. I guess I got um, carried away." I saw that Alex was blushing too. I didn't want to crowd her, so I inched away a little. Alex threw her arms around me and hugged me.
"Mikes, it's fine. I'm not mad I just...just don't want to go that far right now. I mean, my little siblings are in the other room. My dad's right there, and I've got to go to an art gallery soon, and honestly I want to stay a virgin a little longer." I nodded. I knew already that she liked being a virgin. And I already knew about her siblings and dad and stepmom. Alex was quiet for a while.
"I'm sorry." I said.
"You shouldn't be."
"Yes I should. I violated your personal space and your privacy and I made you feel uncomfortable. So, I'm sorry."
"Personal space?" she said, giggling. "Mikey, you're tongue was in me mouth and mine was in your's, does that seem like I wanted more personal space?" she kept giggleing as she continued talking. "And privacy, you're in my bedroom on my bed, that's pretty private. And trust me, it didn't feel uncomfortable, it felt great." She gave me a quick kiss. "No one should be sorry, I'm just not ready for that right now." We started kissing again, but more like the gentle, sweet, slow kind of kisses. I almost told her. I almost told her that I like her more than like a friend. I didn't though. We heard a little knock at the door. We broke the kiss.
"Hey, can I come in?" Alex's dad said. Alex an I looked at each other.
"Sure." I responded. He came in the door and closed it behind him.
"Alex, could you start getting ready please? We're leaving in ten minutes."
"Okay!" Alex gave me a kiss on the cheek and hugged her dad and left the room.
"Mikey, can I talk to you?" I had a feeling that this was about to happen.
"Well, I know that you're really important and really close to my daughter. I also know that she's spending the night at your place tonight, and that no one else will be there. I'm going to have to trust you, okay?" I nodded. "She's still in highschool and I know you to have been friends a very long time, but I need to know that you'll keep what's best for her in mind. I respect whatever choice she makes, but I'd like you two to keep the future in mind, okay?"
"Okay." I replied nodding.
"So, as long as you promise to respect Alex's decisions, you're aloud to come over as long as Alex wants you here." he said taking out a key to the house. "So, do we have an agreement?"
"Yes." I said nodding.
"Good." he put the key in my hand. "Feel free to use it whenever you like."

MCB exec leaving
Citing family considerations, Miami City Ballet’s executive director says he will leave at the end of the season. Daniel Hagerty joined the troupe in fall 2012 as part of a new leadership team with artistic director Lourdes Lopez.
"Personal circumstances have unfortunately prevented my family from relocating to Miami," Hagerty said in a statement.
“We are disappointed he is leaving, but we understand his decision and we wish him well,” MCB management said in a statement. “Fortunately, Dan will stay with us through the remainder of the season, giving us ample time to begin an active search to fill the position.”

Big-noise boys from the Lone Star state, the founders of ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead began their career by wrapping brisk little songs in sheets of clamor. The Austin band still does that, but Trail of Dead's latest album -- emphasized at its Thursday show at a packed Rock & Roll Hotel -- often sounds like a less angelic U2. Such new songs as "Bells of Creation'' (in which singer-guitarist Conrad Keely recalls that he "felt like Satan'') were characterized by glistening guitar arpeggios, epic dynamic shifts and yearning upward vocals.
(Read the rest of the review after the jump.)
The group, which over 15 years has expanded from duo to sextet, didn't stick with one format. There was lots of instrument swapping, notably by drummer-guitarist Jason Reece. Some songs featured three guitars crashing in unison, while others rode the rhythms of twin drum kits. The band's rock-orchestral flourishes were even supplemented by a chorus: Members of Midnight Masses, the evening's opening act, helped swell a few of the sing-along refrains.
The fierce attack seemed appropriate for a band that takes its name from a slogan (perhaps apocryphal) of the bloodthirsty Mayans. But the band was over-amplified, and the players's individual parts often nearly identical, sometimes yielding more sludge than grandeur.
Still, the set included moments of bracing simplicity and deft counterpoint. During "Far Pavilions,'' a vocal chant ceded to a guitar rave-up, but keyboardist Clay Morris picked up the chant's melody and continued it amid the storm. More touches like that would have benefited a performance that displayed impressive power, but lacked the finesse of Trail of Dead's current studio sound.

cookingrobot.jpgThis AIC-AICookingrobot can make Chinese dishes from various areas of China—Sichua, Huai Yang, and Shandong—all while NOT smoking and cursing. The robot took four years of research and $253,000 to develop, which is more money than you'd have to pay an actual Chinese person to come cook for you every day for four years.
This guy can fry, bake, boil and steam with the best of them, so whenever it goes on sale you can install one in your home to have authentic Chinese food every day of the week. Which, speaking from experience, isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Paris Factory Outlet Shopping: La Vallee Village and Marques Avenue Outlets
By Jeanne Feldman
La Vallee Village publicity photoFactory outlet shopping has caught on in France for the same reasons American shoppers love it: convenience, selection, and, of course, price. For tourists visiting Paris, taking a train or driving out to a factory outlet shopping center is also a good way to get a taste of modern France, which can be hard to do on a tourist itinerary full of châteaux, cathedrals and museums.
La Vallée Village
La Vallée Village Chic Outlet Shopping is reached by RER just one stop before the Disneyland Paris station. It’s upscale, large and the best choice for travelers seeking top designer quality. Don't go expecting down and dirty deals on mass merchandise; everything here is top designer quality, but if you're familiar with full retail prices of brands like Jimmy Choo, Lancel, Longchamp, Tod's, Villeroy & Bach and so on, you'll appreciate the savings.
It's not an enclosed mall but rather an open-air collection of "villages" of independent shops, each brand with its own that will be familiar to shoppers at top U.S. outlet centers. It has a website in English and a Chic Outlet Shopping® app that allows you to explore, search and navigate through all nine of its European villages.
La Vallee Village free shopping app. Publicity photo
Some of the better known designer brands are: Cacharel, Kenzo, Max Mara, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Armani, Givenchy, Diesel, Versace, Valentino, plus Charles Jourdan, Tod’s, Jimmy Choo, Lancel and Longchamp handbags and leather goods, Villeroy & Boch porcelain and Baccarat crystal.
Marques Avenue Shopping Centers: two malls in the Paris area
Marques Avenue Ile Saint-Denis publicity photoMarques Avenue has two main shopping centers, one located just north of Paris in Saint-Denis, with 76 stores and another located just south of Paris along the A6 highway, with 61 stores. Each has a great collection of French name-brand outlet shops, including clothes for women, men and children, shoes, some housewares and leather accessories. Marques Avenue malls are known for outstanding selection, user-friendly organization and amenities. If you’re visiting from the U.S. you will feel right at home—all while experiencing a slice of modern French life.
Don’t forget that there’s a tax refund (détaxe) of about 12% when you spend €175 or more in one store. Request a détaxe form with every purchase, then present your détaxe forms at the airport as you leave France.
La Vallée Village
3, Cours de la Garonne, 77700 Serris
Open: Open daily 10am-8pm (until 7pm on Sundays in August)
Rail: take the RER Line A, destination Marne-la-Vallée-Chessy to the Val d’Europe stop.

The Importance of Attending an Art Conference
There are many reasons why art teachers don’t attend local art conferences. Some of the most common reasons include the cost of attending (including cost of hotel, food, using a personal day or the district paying for a substitute) and people not thinking the conference is worth their time. I beg you to reconsider attending your local conference, you won’t regret it!
Here’s Why Every Art Teacher Should Attend an Art Conference
1. Learn about what’s happening at the state level in art education
Many states are making changes in art education standards. Attending a conference helps you get up to date regarding these changes. The state of Iowa is in the process of adopting a statewide core curriculum for art. The conference allowed me to learn more about the upcoming changes. For those of you interested, here is the website regarding the Iowa Core for Art.
2. Get FREE stuff!
Art education conferences are filled with vendors wanting to show you their new products and give you free samples. Some of these freebies include: markers, glaze, posters, pens, pencils and paper. What art teacher doesn’t like free stuff? Plus, they often have display copies of books and other supplies so you can look at them and try them out before you purchase.
3. Collaborate with other art teachers.
Art conferences are filled with other art teachers. Find a way to collaborate with them. I met numerous art teachers who were willing to share their contact information and share lesson plans or strategies they have used. One teacher even offered to have my visit their classroom. The art conversations didn’t stop once the convention ended. I went to dinner with another art teacher and attended an opening art reception at the art museum. Then I shared a hotel room with a different art teacher. There was art talk from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed. I was in art teacher heaven.
4. Get to know new art teachers
Create connections across the state. You never know when you will have a question and you will need someone else’s expertise. The more conventions you attend and the more people you meet, the bigger your circle of knowledge becomes. Make new friends, but keep the old!
5. Become empowered
At the Iowa Art Educators conference, I learned: how to better assess my students using both formative and summative assessments, how to advocate for my art program, the importance of public art in our communities and more importantly, in our schools. I walked away from the conference filled with ideas, eager to teach new lessons and was reminded how I am the voice for art in my school and community. I’m empowered to speak louder.
Check out Bloom’s Taxonomy… do you notice anything different?
Art and creativity is important- it’s at the top! (Evaluation used to be at the top)
6. Grow as a professional
Art teachers need professional development that is ridiculously relevant to art. In addition to the AOE classes, a conference allows teachers to learn and grow as an art professional. Many conferences offer graduate credit if you attend the full conference and complete a small assignment.
7. Have Fun! Make ART!
There are many opportunities to make art at art education conferences. The Iowa conference had a stencil making class and glass fusing class. Doesn’t that sound like a blast? If you don’t end up attending a hands-on art class, at least you will walk away with many new lesson ideas for your students to get messy and creative.
Why do you take the time to attend Art Conferences?
What is your most memorable “Ah Ha” from an Art Conference?

I agree, you are in art teacher heaven at conferences! I love the opportunity to make art with other art teachers.

Reader response, he hopefully wrote.
Ari’s previous two posts inspire me to ask of our learned readership a question for each.1
1) Does the “which side are you on” rhetoric in response to industrial tragedy get the American public’s attention? Almost a hundred years ago Charles Beard, perhaps somewhat bitterly, said no:
Realizing the fact that a mere high mortality due to congestion will not seriously disturb a nation that complacently slaughters more people on its railways and in its factories and mines than any other country in the world, mathematically minded reformers are trying to reach the heart of the public through its purse by pointing out that there is a great economic loss in the death of persons of working age.
Which really works better to grab Americans’ attention? Rhetorical appeals to justice, or social scientific appeals to your wallet?
2) Let’s stipulate there is no greater historiographical swindle…

Who still cares for the American Civil War?
I like Mary Beard’s TLS blog. But this time I fear she has Gone Too Far. Or, perhaps more likely, she’s pulling our collective leg — though I don’t remember her pulling it in quite this manner before. Even out here at the veriest Edge, the cityscape is clotted with victors’ memories of the War of Eastern Aggression. Just yesterday I was out picknicking with fellow parents of future yuppies at the Black Point Battery; and of course the map is full of streets named for Vicksburg, Grant, Lincoln and the Union. (Not to speak of the Confederate general from Big Sur.)
Need we quote Faulkner again?

This chart, gratuitously stolen from Steve Benen at The Washington Monthly, suggests strongly that political discourse in the United States is going to get worse rather than better:
We have the perfect storm: an African-American President and an opposition party whose concerns, language, and obsessions is driven largely by the concerns, language, and obsessions of the American South. Those ideas–racial, cultural, martial–are what is going to drive the GOP until they escape their regional status. Jimmy Carter well knows this, and it is no coincidence that the current poster child for Republican obstructionism is South Carolina. We may date the finish of the Civil War to 1865, but the conflict has never really ended.
August 24, 2009, 10:59 pm
On this day in 1857, the New York branch of the Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Company (OLITC) failed, an event often (dis)credited with starting the Panic of 1857. But of course the Panic didn’t really begin there; as with all major financial catastrophes the story is more complicated than it initially appears.
July 31, 2009, 12:49 pm
Too good to be true?
Given that I haven’t had a chance to read the book in question, I don’t know what to make of the ongoing, and increasingly nasty, fight over John Stauffer’s and Sally Jenkins’s new history of the Free State of Jones. But it seems like the struggle over the book is pretty interesting, as it raises all kinds of questions about the intersection of historical narratives and big-time entertainment. I also think there’s probably something to be said here about the nature of scholarship. But again, without having read the book, I’m not the one to say it. At least not yet.
Anyway, the fight started here and here and here, I guess, when Victoria Bynum, who’s written her own history of Jones County during the Civil War, posted a scathing review of The State of Jones. Take a look. See what you think.
Update: Stepping back a bit, it seems to me that there are other interesting questions…

As Abraham Lincoln would say. And it’s with Lincoln, on the highly honorable cover, that you’ll find Ari in this week’s TLS.
Even after winning the presidency, Barack Obama continues to channel Abraham Lincoln. Obama arrived in Washington via the same train route that Lincoln did in 1861. He swore the oath of office on Lincoln’s bible. He chose the same lunch that Lincoln ate on his inauguration day. And with the nation mired in a dizzying array of crises, Obama says that he looks to Lincoln for inspiration. Ron Paul, meanwhile, did not secure the Republican nomination, despite the passion of his supporters. Nevertheless, he, too, continues to use Lincoln for political purposes. On April 15, Paul and hundreds of thousands of limited-government activists took to the streets to rail about the long reach of federal authority. In addition to claiming that income tax is unconstitutional…

[Following up on this post.]
The valor that garners a Medal of Honor has changed since the Civil War, when the award was first created. In fact, many of the ways that the Medal was previously given no longer hold. Perhaps the most obvious of these is that it is now extremely difficult–if not impossible–to get a Medal of Honor while surviving the acts of bravery. The military denies that this is an official requirement, though there is skepticism:
The U.S. military appears to have toughened its standards for bestowing the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest award for valor in battle, to exclude troops who survive their heroic acts, a California lawmaker charged Thursday.
Either troops are “not as brave as they used to be, which I don’t believe is true,” or the criteria for the award have been amended “so that you have to die” to receive it, Rep. Duncan D. Hunter, R-Calif., told the…

It’s fair to say that he exceeded expectations.

“The South designed beautiful flags, but it was on the wrong side of history.”
Of all the things I’ve read about Lincoln recently, this very moving something-or-other is among my favorites. The idea that a person unfamiliar with Lincoln might meet and then find herself falling in love with him warms my heart.

Bicentennial rehash.
Had he not been cut down by an assassin’s bullet, Abraham Lincoln would have been 200 years old today. How’s that for a lede? Honestly, I feel like I should try to write something grand on this auspicious occasion, but as Frederick Douglass noted in 1876, “no man can say anything that is new of Abraham Lincoln.” Douglass was right. And that was in 1876. So you can imagine how hard it is to be original about Lincoln today. But that hasn’t stopped people, lots of people, from trying. In fact, I’ve just finished reading six new Lincoln books for a longish essay I’m writing to mark the bicentennial. I learned some interesting stuff from these books — especially from James Oakes’s The Radical and the Republican — but nothing that changes my basic impression of the man, his politics, or his presidency. Truth be told, it’s probably time for a multi-decade moratorium on Lincoln…

“Old ossawatomie Brown to be hanged at Charlestown for murder and insurrection.”
“The Legend of John Brown” by Jacob Lawrence
Editor’s note: Caleb McDaniel, who many of you (at least those of you familiar with internet traditions) may remember from modeforcaleb, joins us today for a guest post. Thanks, Caleb, for taking the time to do this. We really appreciate it.
One-hundred-and-forty-nine years ago today, the state of Virginia hung the militant abolitionist and Kansas Free State warrior, John Brown.
A month and a half earlier, Brown had led a band of twenty-two men, including three of his sons, in a daring–and disastrous–raid on the federal armory in Harpers Ferry in western Virginia, a raid intended as a direct strike on the institution of slavery within the South itself. Captured on October 18 and quickly tried by the state, a wounded Brown spent November in a jail cell in Charlestown, Virginia. Then, on December 2, he was escorted from his jail cell…

Should We Focus on Evangelism or Discipleship in Youth Ministry?
January 11, 2010|3:34 pm
Evangelism is often looked at as the red headed step child (apologies to any reading this right now) of the youth ministry world. We deal with it because we are legally required to in the by-laws of the Bible but, down deep in our hearts, we are more passionate about discipleship than evangelism.
But this is where our thinking is wrong. Evangelism and discipleship are like Nitrogen and Gylcerin, they must be blended for maximum effect. Teens who are growing in Christ will share their faith and teens who are sharing their faith in the power of the Spirit will grow in Christ.
I am convinced that if teenagers fall in love with sharing their faith they will fizzle out, but if they fall in love with Jesus they’ll always evangelize. Because of this, our first and foremost goal is to get teenagers fully surrendered to Christ. If they offer their lives as living sacrifices (Romans 12:1), I believe they will passionately share their faith out of the overflow of their love for God!
At Dare 2 Share we refuse to divorce evangelism from discipleship. In fact, I believe they are intrinsically united. My firm belief is that evangelism accelerates the discipleship process like no Bible study class ever could. When teenagers begin to share their faith, they have a new thirst to study God’s Word, pray, and depend on the Holy Spirit.
For instance, at our training conferences this year we deal with conquering sin through applying the power of the cross (aka “sanctification”) because, and here’s the direct connect with evangelism, if teenagers are living a godless life none of their friends will take them seriously when they are sharing the gospel. So we teach key truths that deal directly with essential “deep” theology (”the inerrancy of God’s Word, the Trinity, prayer, worship, the exchanged life, etc) but they ALL make a direct connect to sharing your faith.
Emphasizing evangelism opens up the opportunity for risk and persecution (1 Tim 3:12) and helps teenagers download theology quicker and more effectively. It provides a context that is more like the 1st century Church rather than the 21st century Church. It gives them a bold cause (THE Cause) that is urgent, exciting and life-changing. Teenagers pay attention and are hungry to learn theology because they are being sent into battle for the souls of their friends.
Calibrating theology in light of evangelism “missionizes” theology and takes it out of the clincial into the practical. Jesus equipped his disciples in the context of mission. First, He called them in Matthew 4:19, “Follow me and I’ll make you fishers of men.” Then, He officially appointed them as His apostles in Matthew 10 and immediately unleashed them for an evangelistic campaign. Up until His final words to them in Acts 1:8, Jesus equipped His disciples with the core truths of the faith in the context of mission. By focusing on evangelism we are able to more effectively disciple teenagers because we add danger and risk to the scenario.
Youth leaders play a key role in maintaining a youth ministry environment that emphasizes this philosophy and keeps THE Cause as the center of their strategy for spiritual growth in their teenagers. The “Deep and Wide Youth Ministry” strategy, along with the sharing of best practices from other youth leaders, is essential to helping them sustain this paradigm shifting model.
Shoud we focus on evangelism or discipleship in youth ministry? The answer is both/and not either/or.

Menino could seek delay in Suffolk Downs vote
By adamg, Sun, 10/20/2013 - 10:51am
WBUR reports the mayor might look at trying to delay the vote if Suffolk Downs doesn't have a managing company now that Caesars is out.
A no vote on Nov. 5 would kill the casino proposal, which also needs the approval of the state gaming commission.
How can a vote be legitimate if they don't even know what they are voting for?
By John-W on
We were ready to have the vote without the background info on who holds Vornado's blind trust and that was felt legitimate, what's the difference?
In truth the whole process has been one murky cluster-fuck. The Commission and the City have not followed the procedures by the letter of the law and it obviously plays out like variances at the BRA -- on the Mayor's good side, you get what you want; on the bad side, for some reason you can't get through the red tape. We should have the vote on the date planned because that's when they set it. If the proponent wants to pull out they should have to go all the way back to the start with the process. Doesn't seem fair to the other applicants. Not that I think Wynn should pass the sniff test either.
Due to the Vornado thing the vote should have never been scheduled in the first place. If they can't find investors without shady background then they shouldn't have a casino. Should Wynn fail the background check that should also disqualify that casino site permanently. There is no need to rush to select a site.
By mplo on
I'm admittedly not a Boston resident, but I'd vote NO on this question on November 5th, because I strongly oppose having any casinos here in the Bay State.
I mean...seriously..We need casinos like we need extra holes in our heads! Casinos, imho, are no way to create jobs, imho. They are a way, however, to bring more prostitution, crime, drugs, gamblling and other vices here into the Bay State and perhaps turn Boston into another Mohegan Sun or an Atlantic City, which we sure don't need.
By anon on
I agree, we never needed a casino when we had a republican governor.
Bring on someone that knows how to manage the business and bring in high tech jobs.
Vote out anyone who voted for the new software tax, even if they realized too late it was the wrong thing to do.
By Stevil on
Our Democratic comrades who want to tax and spend us into oblivion? Cruz is no saint after the stunts he pulled in the latest fiasco-but the other side of the aisle needs to have their credit cards cut up.
Massachusetts is being sold a load of goods on these casinos. Who is going to go there? New York State also has a ballot proposal this year to allow 7 casino licenses to be built across the state. It seems like all these states are cutting the casino pie into smaller and smaller slices, and the only ones who will win are the developers.
By kvn on
Its the erosion of society , it started when the stores started opening on Sundays ,and the Mass Lottery with its Keno and scratch tickets on every corner , just throw the loser tickets on the ground . Just try to find a nice bake shop these days, with bread and pastries. Sheesh !
Well, I don't know about that. What I do know is that all these communities are being told that they will rake in millions and bazillions of dollars in tax revenue, when those estimates are based on the (false) idea that there will be no other casinos in the area. There are only so many people who want to gamble, and every new casino that is built will split that money into smaller and smaller chunks. Besides, everyone will head to whichever casino is the newest, the biggest, the brightest, and the shiniest, leaving the older casinos in the dust.
By Stevil on
The people who will go to the casinos are often the same people that play the lottery - especially the money making slot machines. They only have so much money in their pockets to gamble with so if they play the slots - that's probably less they play in the lottery. While we may get some mitigation money from the Casino, some/a lot of that could be offset with reduced state aid. Of course, most people don't think of this or don't know how the system works so they think it's all extra money. For Eastie which is getting earmarked dollars - probably a good thing. For the rest of the city - who will still have to pay for a lot of this AND see decreased revenue from the state - not so good. One more reason this should be a citywide vote.
By mplo on
Ordinarily I'd say that the cheapening of society is more like it, but I think that the erosion of our society and culture and their cheapening actually go hand in hand together; they're both happening at once.
I don't think that stores starting to open on Sundays has had anything to do with the erosion and cheapening of our society, especially since, even before the Blue Laws were repealed here in the Bay State (which I'm glad they were!), stores in most other states were allowed to stay open on Sundays.
The fact that anybody could even consider having casinos here in the Boston area to supposedly create jobs, etc., however, does indicate how far our society and culture have fallen, and it's not good, at all.
By MC on
There is no provision anywhere in the Expanded Gaming Act or interpreting regulations which allows the applicant or the city to reschedule the vote on a whim. The Commission purposely designed this process so that it was up to the applicant to call the election (presumably when it felt that everything was in place and ready to go forward) and the fact that Suffolk Downs chose to build its application on quicksand really is not our problem. Even if the Secretary of State were to come back with some reasonable excuse to delay the vote, there is absolutely no realistic chance that a new partner could renegotiate the parts of the mitigation agreement previously applicable to Caesars, earn the trust of the neighborhood, and call an election before the licensing deadline of December 31. It's time for Suffolk Downs to fold 'em.

Taxi cab driver repeatedly stabbed, assailant steals vehicle - WFSB 3 Connecticut
Cab company owner says driver lucky to be alive after repeatedly stabbed
Posted: Updated:
A Kansas City taxi cab driver was seriously injured after being stabbed multiple times by an assailant who then stole her vehicle.
The Checker Cab driver was stabbed seven times during the carjacking about 7:20 p.m. Thursday. This occurred in the 5200 block of Sycamore Avenue.
The suspect fled in cab No. 138. Police became involved in a high-speed chase with the suspect about 10 a.m. Friday.
The driver was spotted driving recklessly in south Kansas City along U.S. 71, police said. Officers began pursuing the man who pushed the cab's speed up to 100 mph, police said.
Checker Cab GPS records show the cab's speeds reached 117 mph.
The chase eventually wound south and ended in Grandview after the cab crashed near U.S. 71 and Main Street. The chase lasted about 20 minutes.
The woman was seriously hurt but will survive. She is home from the hospital now and in good spirits, her boss said.
The woman said she tried to hit him with her stun gun during the attack, but was unsuccessful, according to court records.
"She stated that while the suspect was stabbing her, he was laughing and smiling and telling her, 'Get the (expletive) out of the car,'" according to court documents.
"It's just not a good situation all the way around. It could have been worse," said Craig Bates, Checker Cab's owner.
The suspect apparently had been picked up at a Kansas City public library branch in the 600 block of Wilson Road. The man refused to pay and apparently repeatedly stabbed the woman in the face, arm and hand.
Julian F. Rodriguez, who turned 20 earlier this month, was charged with first-degree robbery and armed criminal action.
According to court documents, he confessed to every detail of the robbery and stabbing "in a calm, matter-of-fact tone."
He said he planned to take the taxi from the beginning.
"And although he thought it was wrong, he did not have negative feelings about it," according to court documents. "He went on to state that he 'does bad things,' he tries to learn from the experience to understand how to get away with it better."
He said robbing and stabbing the woman "was exhilarating to him," according to court documents.
He said he had sex in the taxi while at the Country Club Plaza and slept in the taxi, he allegedly claimed. The taxi company's GPS system helped officers located the vehicle.
Bates said attacks on taxi drivers are rare because the move to cash means that drivers carry little cash.
"We've transported more than a million people this year with our two companies and this is the only incident," Bates said. "We almost made it through 2012."
He is considering adding cameras in the cabs for extra security, but privacy issues must be worked out.

Future Primitive: Kimbo Slice’s Cruelest Cut
[19 November 2008]
By Tobias Peterson
Like Pussy Galore, Ebenezer Scrooge, or Fat Bastard, Kimbo Slice is among those whose name seems to give a particular insight into their personality. One need not be a Bond fan to know what Galore’s game was. Similarly, Scrooge and Bastard were, as advertised, chintzy and overweight (respectively). As his own moniker suggests, Kimbo Slice has been best known for the violence he directs against those foolish enough to oppose him in a fight. Though it’s hard to slice anything with a fist, many combatants have been taken apart by his abilities inside and, notably, outside the mixed martial arts cage.
Unlike these other characters, though, Slice is a real person—in some ways, at least. His actual name is Kevin Ferguson. His nom de guerre was given to him during a period in his life when he made ends meet as a backyard brawler. Often, this term is used to indicate an aggressive athlete who gives his or her all. In the case of Kimbo Slice, though, the description quite literally described his profession. Initially a standout high school football player in Miami, Ferguson was left homeless in the destructive wake of Hurricane Andrew. His college football prospects disappeared and he was forced to translate his skills as a linebacker into more immediately marketable commodities.
As a result, Slice became a driver and bodyguard for a porn company. After beating down several over-enthusiastic fans, his employer recognized his potential and put him to work as a combatant in illegal street fights. Slice and his handlers would show up at a designated meeting spot (often someone’s house) and Kimbo would proceed to fight whoever had been arranged for him. Nearly always, he won, pummeling opponents until they could not (or would not) get up for further punishment. Money was exchanged. Slice’s prowess was hailed. And, most importantly, video footage was recorded.
Kimbo Slice—a large, heavily muscled black man sporting gold teeth, an unruly beard, and a fearsome scowl— embodied the stereotype of black physical menace so completely that there simply was no way that he could be anything but a Bad Man, one who invoked the clear threat (and thrilling promise) of violence at any moment.
Thanks to that camera, and the rise of YouTube, Slice became perhaps the first fighter to go viral. His fight videos earned him a devoted, underground following on the Internet, to the point where his ascension to the organized rules of Mixed Marital Arts competition represented the confirmation of his status as an ultimate badass. It wasn’t that he was there to make a name for himself. In fact, when Slice first joined an MMA league (EliteXC), it was his name that was being used to garner notoriety, not the other way around. He arrived fully-formed, with a knock-out record and a back story that attracted fans and media alike. ESPN the Magazine, most notably, devoted a cover to Slice’s menacing visage, well in advance of his televised debut as an MMA fighter.
Unfortunately for Slice, and the many who sought to make money from his ascension to organized MMA, his first appearance as an EliteXC fighter on CBS was a far cry from those hand-held online documents of backyard dominance. Against a journeyman fighter named James Thompson, Slice absorbed a great deal of punishment (repeatedly trying to slow Thompson’s elbows down with his forehead), before he managed with an overhead right to stun Thompson long enough for the referee to jump in and stop the fight. In his follow-up to this widely panned debut, Slice lasted 14 seconds before being knocked out by an unknown named Seth Petruzelli.
In the fallout from Slice’s MMA incarnation, Petruzelli hinted in a radio interview that he was paid extra by league organizers to fight Slice standing up—trading blows (which presumably would have favored Slice’s strengths) rather than taking the match to the ground for a more manageable, less exciting wrestling match. The EliteXC has roundly denied the implication of a fix (and Petruzelli himself has issued a clarification), but it nonetheless was forced to file bankruptcy as the league’s marquee star was eclipsed by ineptitude and scandal.
Clearly, Kimbo Slice was not the human wrecking machine that the league, CBS, and its advertisers had been banking on. As his own future remains uncertain, the rest of us are left to wonder just why he occasioned such lofty expectations in the first place. What inspired a budding promotional company to pin the entirety of its financial hopes on an untested fighter? How did an unproven slugger come to grace the front cover of a national sports magazine?
The answer to questions like these is at once straightforward and complex: race. Kimbo Slice—a large, heavily muscled black man sporting gold teeth, an unruly beard, and a fearsome scowl— embodied the stereotype of black physical menace so completely that there simply was no way that he could be anything but a Bad Man, one who invoked the clear threat (and thrilling promise) of violence at any moment. Slice, whose fortunes were at once torn asunder and radically refigured by a hurricane, constituted a kind of perfect storm of racial stereotypes himself—the combined effects of which ensured that, no matter how skilled a fighter, he was always already understood as someone to fear.
Consider, for example, the way that Slice gained his notoriety. Though only a minor weapons charge mars his record, Slice’s backyard brawling—in unsanctioned bouts held without the organizing boundaries of a ring, an official, or commentators—ensured that he would carry with him the criminal aura of “the streets”, regardless of the arena in which he fought. Further, the seemingly spontaneous nature of these fights, as opposed to the contrivance of lights, cameras, and bikini clad ring girls, coded Slice as someone best understood as having a natural, in-born proclivity for violence. Ignoring Slice’s training regimen (and a physique like his is impossible to achieve without one), the YouTube videos instead suggest that Slice was simply born to kick ass. We understand him as someone who shows up, throws down, gets paid, and goes home.
Of course, that’s exactly what he and all the other fighters are doing in an organized MMA bout. The only difference, other than the amount of people watching (including the ref), is the amount of money to be made. For his 14 seconds of consciousness against Seth Petruzelli, Slice reportedly earned half a million dollars. A sum like that evokes two conflicting reactions. On the one hand, it’s rewarding to see a formerly destitute, self-described family man earn enough money to put his financial woes behind him. On the other, though, it serves as a sobering measurement of just how persistent and lucrative the presence of black stereotypes in sports remains.
As our enthusiasm grows for emerging new technologies that disseminate images and ideas at ever-increasing speeds, it would seem that our critical consideration of this influx continues to lag. As the case of Kimbo Slice points out, modern sports audiences still have a long way to go before they’re free from the dubious legacy of centuries-old thinking.

"I confess that I am an unreconstructed optimist. Not a naive one; I've lived too long for that, long enough to have experienced a resounding case for pessimism. I have vivid memories of the Great Depression, and I've lived through several wars and those international anomalies that we call police actions. I've watched what has seemed to me to be a rather steady decline in both public and private morals, and a growing confusion about ethics.

You Can Soar Like an Eagle
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not be weary, they will walk and not be faint. (Isaiah 40:31 KJV) The eagle is a majestic bird that represents inspiration and courage. According to my research, it is the only bird that will not try to avoid a storm. Though eagles don't seek out a storm, when one occurs, they hang on until they can soar above it. It occurs to me that some people are like eagles. It isn't that they ha... more info>>

What's the difference between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems?
The ANS consists of two divisions:
• The sympathetic nervous system is involved in the stimulation of activities that prepare the body for action, such as increasing the heart rate, increasing the release of sugar from the liver into the blood, and other generally considered as fight-or-flight responses (responses that serve to fight off or retreat from danger).
• The parasympathetic nervous system activates tranquil functions, such as stimulating the secretion of saliva or digestive enzymes into the stomach.

Clara P. Auclair
Known as the 'Great Thanks'
TORRINGTON — Clara P. Auclair, 98, of Torrington, passed away on Thursday at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital.
She was born on Nov. 12, 1914 in Mangum, Okla., a daughter of the late Thomas Tennyson and Emma (Pickler) Park. Clara, an eternal optimist, was a hardworking dairy farmer's wife and mother who also worked at The Bake Shoppe in Torrington.
Her greatest joy was playing with children and entertaining them by wiggling her ears. She also loved to go flying in the Cessna 310 with her son and daughter.

40-Year Reunion - October 9 & 10, 2009
From Greg “Benny” Benson and Dianne “DJ” Johnson
This will be our 40th year following graduation from Gustavus. Can you believe it?! It seems like just yesterday until you go on campus and see the physical changes. Then, of course, the people around our age attending their reunions all look OLD?! How can that be? We still THINK YOUNG, even though we might not feel young. We have collected some memories to share with you and hope to see you at our class reunion during Homecoming, October 2009!
Gusties still greet each other on Hello Walk and the rock is still getting painted. The chapel still stands majestically on the hill. Many of the dorms are still there. Gone is Johnson and Wahlstrom. And girls are now sleeping legally in Uhler! J There is a football game during Homecoming but its in a beautiful new stadium. The Homecoming parade still continues, but now it goes around the Ring Road instead of Main Street, St. Peter. Plus there wasn’t a ring road back then. DJ asked if the pledges were making the parade floats and the answer was…“no, that would be considered hazing and that’s not allowed.” Hazing is requiring anything done by the pledges that the actives don’t do. Wow, would we be in trouble now!?!
Which brings a memory to Greg “Benny” Benson….
“How could anyone forget Rush. Of course, the OK’s had the famous dung pool. It was on the farm built to exacting standards with cow, horse, chicken, and pig dung, filled with water and stirred to the perfect consistency, and the size of a standard pool. Each pledge walked the plank with a feminine napkin taped around their eyes, dove in and scrambled to the other side. Then it was a long run down and into a cold late April lake. This was the final task to become a member of the frat. Of course, the painful weeks before were more challenging, the “hits” with the paddle were the worst. There was lots of fun stuff, too. Singing in the cafeteria, getting all of the TM signatures with the pencil trick and one night I was blindfolded and taken out to Nicollet at 3:00 a.m. and had to dribble a basketball back to campus. I still can’t dribble! Hard to believe it was 40 years ago, I could go back in a heartbeat!”
Donna Sjoding Amidon remembers some wild and wonderful frat parties like the one our sophomore year around Christmas when we sang all those fractured Christmas carols, it was hilarious! (DJ thinks it may have been a sorority banquet. Notice some of our memories don’t match up with each other which makes these memories even more special!) DJ remembers one Flea Banquet theme called Formosa Fun, TaiWan On! And we surely can’t forget all the sorority songs we learned. I bet we could still sing all the verses of some, perhaps with a little prompting. Benny recalls a frat party in Mankato when Judy Matalamaki was his date. “I’m sure Judy remembers me carrying the “bag” across main street…she was easy to carry. The parties at Turner Hall in New Ulm were great, hard to believe we could even drive home (and then we told our kids not to drink and drive!)”
Judy Matalamaki Thiem still chuckles about a comment that Karen Alrick Jafvert made after the tornado changed Gustavus forever. “Everyone remembers those beautiful trees that were lost. Karen asked “Did we have trees at Gustavus? All we were looking at were the boys walking down Hello walk!!” (DJ remembers walking down Hello Walk proudly wearing her GAC beanie that said ’69!?!) Judy continues..“Gustavus has changed in many significant and wonderful ways, but it brought a tear to my eye and a time I remember with such gratitude for the experience. As my father put it so bluntly after seeing my grades, ‘Judy, the ONLY responsibility you have is to study, and you can’t even do that.’ What was he talking about?????”
This from Sue McNamara Showalter….“Gustavus was life-changing for me. I was the first person in my family to go to college―and that was possible through scholarships and loans that I paid back after graduating―my parents didn’t even have a savings account! I met the love my life there and I met some of the funniest, warm-hearted friends a person could have! I had an absolute BLAST and would love to do it all over again. Dave and I are having some of our ashes spread there, so that should change Gustavus in the future!
Our Gustavus wedding is a fond memory. We (Dave Showalter and Sue) were married December 20, 1968 in Christ Chapel by Rev. Elvee. The Chapel was so beautiful, with many poinsettia plants cascading up to the altar. Ma Young ’33 catered the reception. My bridal shower was held in Elvee’s barn, with much laughter and singing along to Diana Ross and the Supremes and other great music of the day. We were (and still are) so much in love with each other and with the college that brought us together. After the wedding, we drove to Florida for our honeymoon. We then settled in Dinkytown near the University of Minnesota, where Dave was attending architecture school and I began teaching mathematics at the old Mechanic Arts High School in St. Paul. I had finished my coursework at Gustavus in 3.5 years, so I returned to graduate with my class in the spring. Of course, we were also on campus many weekends to have fun with our friends!”
Following that marriage theme, Jim Kuitu says….“I was lucky to meet my wife, Linda (Martinson ’70) at Gustavus and we are still together!!” Then he goes on, “maybe the hockey fan bus (well oiled) arriving at Braemar arena would bring some smiles. Jerry Krieger ’70, Pat McCuskey and me taping Coach Don Roberts ’56 blades before practice―he skated around and said his blades felt dull!!!” Benny says he has fond memories of intramural sports…“the frats were so competitive and we had great athletes, too bad some of them didn’t play for Gustavus teams!”
Mary Sue Hanson Taylor recalls emceeing the synchronized swim team’s Follies at the pool, (now a social meeting spot called The Dive.) “I announced the finale, where the entire synchronized swim team slides into the pool in the pitch darkness, and then turns on the ‘body lights’ they have attached to their bodies, as they glide silently into their formations. Elegant and dramatic. Only after the auditorium went dark for their entrance, I walked off the edge of the pool, fell in, and was silently struggling to get out. I was sinking fast, dressed in my wool skirt and loafers, and seeing my predicament, the audio crew flipped on the house lights. There I was, oops, sorry….me at one end flailing and the elegant swim team at the other….traumatized at seeing me in the pool. We had to start over. And we did, but the audience was laughing so hard it ruined the finale. I forever apologize to the Synchronized Swim Team.”
DJ remembers being a charter member of the Gustavus bowling team. “All physical education majors had to compete on some team, so this was mine. We never had competitive teams for girls in high school, so I thought I’d try bowling. (Remember the new lanes on the lower level of the Union? (Gone now.) On my 21st birthday we had a bowling tournament in Ames, Iowa, so I was away for that weekend. Darn! No misbehaving on my part! My aunt had taken cake decorating classes and sent a beautiful cake (so I heard) to the dorm. But my dorm mates decided that it would go to waste because I was gone, so they ate the whole thing, never even taking a picture of it. When I got back, my aunt asked how I liked the cake!?! Otherwise I’d have never known.
How many remember the different trips we took during winter break or with the college? For most of us it was our first travel experience. I will never forget my skiing experience in Aspen, Colorado, when John Denver joined us at Snowmass. He sang in our hotel and then later in one of the Gustie’s rooms at night. Then he hitched a ride back to Gustavus with us on the bus. Either Ann Martell ’68 was with us or he wanted to get back to her in Minnesota. He sang and played his tapes all the way home from Colorado. It was glorious! I still play his records, then tapes, now CDs. Haven’t made it to an iPod yet!
Donna Sjoding Amidon continues...“I remember being in the Gustavus concert choir and traveling to Scandinavia after my sophomore year. It was such a fantastic experience for a small town girl. I have many memories of our conductor, Phil Knautz ’48, who demanded perfect continuous eye contact with him during a song when on stage. Whenever my eyes started to drift I would feel this uncomfortable sensation and look at him staring at me with such intesity that I wanted to hide. He demanded discipline and got it….I respected him for that. After graduating from Gustavus it seems that all our closest friends for life are Gusties and their families. The friends we have kept the closest and longest all went to school with us or are best friends of our Gustie friends and therefore were brought into the circle. That is not to say we never made other friends over the years but just that we have shared the most signigicant parts of our lives with Gusties. In fact, we just came back from celebrating Christmas Eve with Maury Miller ’67, Betsy Neprude Miller, and their daughter, Kristin ’99 and her family.”
And here’s “a stream of consciousness list of events that jump into my mind”…by Mike Nielsen. “Some things mentioned will only be familiar to a handful of people, but still are my best memories of Gustavus. Here goes…my tough job of “watching the Student Union” in the evenings, the unauthorized “phone call scandal” on my night shift, Powder puff football and the “fear” of Dar Gustavson (still his wife!), riding to Concordia for basketball in below zero weather, with no heat in the Gustie “checker limo,” watching “Willie” trying to keep every athlete from stealing socks and tee shirts, getting my basketball trunks pulled down by the “Rat Pack” under the basket at St. Johns, boxing in the Uhler basement instead of studying, intramural rivalries, judo class, molding a life-sized clay head of Greg Benson in sculpture class, watching water balloons slingshot out of top floor windows of Uhler Hall, the pigeons released in the library, hiding under the bed to escape the “swat squad” during Hell week. The “OK” Hell Day and infamous swim, garlic toast at the Holiday House, the guys going to the Pizza Villa after the women’s “justified curfew(!),” the rumors of “contamination” in pizzas made for rival frat members, finding recycled desserts in the cafeteria, Ma Young’s eggs (and watching Benny methodically mince them up in ¼ inch pieces every morning), the “farmhouse,” townies, and frat parties, snow “whiteouts” across the parking lot, and above all else―the beauty of Christ Chapel!”
And from his wife, Darlene Gustavson Nielsen….
“My first memory is my freshman year during parent's weekend―Marilyn Anderson and I decided to hitchhike to Mankato. Guess who picked us up―my Mom and Dad and my brother. They happily took us to Mankato, but I was mortified! (OK, DJ hitchhiked from Mankato, too, but got picked up by a guy who gave her a lecture about hitchhiking, and she never did it again. Did Dar?)
Dances in the Union. Early morning swimming―I was not happy that I had to take swimming since I already had my WSI and Toni D’Angelo did not have to take it because she had her WSI. Sorry Toni! Mrs. Baker’s decision! (Comment from DJ…Mrs. Baker did have her favorites and they did not include Dar or DJ!)
Karen Alrick and I got to fly to Youngstown Ohio with the football team. Coach Jocko Nelson ’50 loved us! Karen and I were assigned to the “Co-ed” dorm as juniors―we didn’t unpack until we were changed to Valley View with all our friends. And…don’t you love “Co-ed”―girls on one side―boys on the other with a gate in-between! (Thanks, Dar! I was one of your friends that stayed in Coed! J DJ)
Loved the ski trip to Aspen―a small cowboy town with no paved streets! Hard to believe! We had hours! The daughter of a friend of mine could not believe that the girls had hours but the boys didn’t. We loved it and made great friends. I learned to play bridge! I spent many hours playing bridge when I should have been studying.
Mike Nielsen and I got engaged on October 19, 1968. He asked me to marry him in the cemetery in St. Peter and a “cop” found us and asked us to leave. Great story! (See above…Mike never mentioned he met his wife at GAC??!!)
All the sorority and fraternity banquets―driving back from New Ulm before people were actually picked up for DUI. I guess we should mention some academia―my favorite class was comparative religion taught by Dr. Schneider. (I agree, that was my favorite, too, and he was the best! DJ) There are so many more memories―it was a fabulous four years!”
Once you start reading these memories, others will likely start flooding into your brain, too! Did we ever go to classes? Or attend chapel?
Do you remember what was happening beyond the hills of Gustavus in 1969? (Other than the Viet Nam War which touched all of us at some point.) Woodstock, Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, Paul McCartney denied rumors that he was dead, bell-bottom blue jeans, Sesame Street debut, the Mets won the World Series after being the worst team in baseball, and the following people were BORN: Jennifer Aniston, Brett Favre, Steffi Graff, Renee Zellweger. L
Here’s who was born with us in 1947! J Arnold Schwarznegger, David Letterman, Farrah Fawcett, Danielle Steele, Tom Clancy, Elton John, Carlos Santana, Polaroid Land cameras, Buffalo Bob and Howdy Doody, Spruce Goose, Minute Maid frozen juice. “In the first televised White House address, President Truman asked Americans to refrain from eating meat on Tuesdays and poultry on Thursdays to help stockpile grain for starving people in Europe.” (Could happen again soon!)
We are looking forward to reminiscing with more of you at our reunion next October. Please put it on your calendar for Friday, the 9th, with your classmates, and Saturday, the 10th at Gustavus for the Homecoming festivities and more classmates.
Written amidst chuckles and tears, and sent to you with fond memories by your classmates,
Cousins, Benny and DJ

5 out of 5 eggsThe best Barebone for ESXi
Pros: Please don't forget this - CableHero Multi-Lane SFF-8087 Mini SAS to Discrete 4x SATA II/3G RIGHT-ANGLE L-Type, Internal Data Hard Drive Forward Breakout Cable - 14 to 24 Inch: CABLEHERO-SAS190 (RoHS, Lifetime Warranty) (Ver 2, Red)

5 out of 5 eggsPretty nice
Pros: Has good chipsets on the board with room to grow. A great blade option for 1U virtualization if you understand what you're doing.
Cons: You'll want to get a real raid controller since this server is barebones. But the fan housing is too close for normal SATA connectors on the backplane. I had to dremmel out notches in the plastic grill over the fans to get standard connectors to fit without smashing the wires. They expect you to have low profile which I never seem to have for SAS setups.
Other Thoughts: Installed with xen 4.0 on debian 6.0 using Seagate constellation SAS drives via 3ware 9750-4i's and LVM. (define rootdelay=5 in grub to let the card initialize) But if you're going to do virtualization whether it be Xen, VMWare or whatever you need to understand that write caching for RAID configurations is extremely important. I don't know how many times I run into other IT guys who skimp on the card or don't understand what the battery backups are there for so they don't get it. Then they complain that its the hypervisor or the servers fault they don't know how RAID works or why write caching isn't enabled. Buy a real raid card just like you'd do from Dell, HP, whatever at an added price and also buy the cache battery / battery backup unit (BBU) so you can safely turn on write caching. (if you can be unsafe about it, depending on the card) If you do that you'll have a nice little 1U virtual server. Ours are running everything from windows 2k8 R2 HVM to RHEL and deb paravirt guests.

5 out of 5 eggsWorks with VMware ESXi 5.0
Pros: System works with VMware ESXi 5.0.
Cons: Removing existing SATA cables was a pain. Installed Adaptec RAID card and using the kit cable was a pain as well.

5 out of 5 eggs
Pros: This barebone is wonderfully built from a brand you can always rely on. Our company paired a few of these with 2x Intel 5645 Hex Core processors (total of 12 physical cores and 12 hyperthreading cores), 24GB DDR3 UDIMM memory, and 4x1TB Western Digital RE4 drives in RAID-10.
* Built in reliable IPMI
* 1U Barebone that comes with heatsinks and rails
* Quality parts
* High wattage energy efficient power supply
* Passive heatsinks cool these 6 core CPU's to about 40C idle
Cons: Can't say much about cons, because there aren't many. Here's a few minor ones.
* It takes forever to post
* SMTP alerts are flaky
* Supermicro support is meh
* No redundant power supplies (understandable for the price)

4 out of 5 eggsNice server
Pros: nice features for the price, stable. love the built in impi managment. It's greate to be able to install a OS by bringingup the managment console on my laptop and using the virtual cdrom feature.
Internal usb socket - great for installing vmware esxi onto a flash drive.
Cons: Onboard raid is softraid so it will not work in vmware esxi. Luckly the drives will show up as independant disk's in vmware and can be used that way.
Other Thoughts: I wish someone had told me that if you only populate one of the 2 cpu sockets you will only be able to address 3 of the 6 memory slots. I purchased 6x4gb sticks and a single e6506 cpu and can only see 12gb of ram until I install a second cpu.
the onboard usb socket is a great way to install a internal flashdrive for esxi. Just make sure you get a really small thumbdrive.

4 out of 5 eggsGonna earn it...
Pros: Pretty small form with a lot of potential (dual CPU, 6 mem slots). You can end up with a pretty gutsy server for the price. I'll end up with a dual quad-core 24GB server - nice!
Cons: Wanted to run ESxi (and will do so) but lack of RAID support from ESXi was a surprise. Just because the BIOS allows you to "enable" Intel or Adaptec RAID, this is NOT the same as an above board hw solution (which ESXi requires).
The real killer? You need to load the RAID driver from a FLOPPY to use Win2003 - I have no idea how to do this because THERE IS NO FLOPPY in this server. Is this SuperMicros problem of Microsofts? Dunno, don't care, just annoyed...Google is my friend if I want to do this (or just go Win2008 I suppose).
Other Thoughts: I will end up going with ESXi (it came right up and installed without a problem) even though RAID is not supported. Most of my woes here are lack of technical understanding around ESXi vs. BIOS RAID vs. using a floppy on server-style servers. Hopefully my thoughts here will help you prepare.

Chile Verde
8:18 PM Posted In , , , , Edit This 0 Comments »
We are loving this chile verde recipe lately. It's a great thing to keep on hand for those nights when a QUICK meal is needed! I found it at Everyday Paleo.
Chile Verde
5 lb pork roast, cut into ½ inch cubes (can use chicken)
4 lbs tomatillos
4 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2-1 yellow onion, diced
8 garlic cloves, minced
1 bunch cilantro
Juice from 2 lime
1-2 jalapeno
2 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
Sea salt to taste
Cut meat into small cubes. Heat oil over medium high in a large cast iron pot and add the meat when oil is hot enough to sear. Brown the meat for 4-5 minutes and remove and set aside. Add the onions and garlic to the oil and drippings and sauté for 7-10 min or until the onions start to brown. Turn the heat down and add the cumin, paprika and black pepper to the onions and garlic and mix well. Add the broth to the mixture and mix well, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pan. Add the meat back and bring to a boil. Turn down to low.
While the meat simmers, peel and wash the tomatillos. Dry them well and in a large skillet over medium heat char them along with the jalapeno turning often, until the skins start to blacken (about 10 minutes). Place the charred tomatillos, jalapeno, cilantro, and lime juice into a food processer or blender and blend until smooth. Add to the pot and simmer for 2 to 2 ½ hours or until the meat is fall apart tender. The sauce will thicken while cooking.
Cucumber Salad

Auburn's Montravius Adams (1) and Elijah Daniel (97) pose with the The Coaches' Trophy during media day for the NCAA BCS National Championship college football game Saturday, Jan. 4, 2014, in Newport Beach, Calif. Florida State plays Auburn on Monday, Jan. 6, 2014. (AP Photo/Chris Carlson)
BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP: No. 1 FLORIDA STATE vs. No. 2 AUBURN, Rose Bowl, Monday at 5:30 p.m., ESPN:
Top five things you should consider going into this final BCS title game but were afraid to Google it:
= Florida State, at 13-0, leads the nation in scoring at 53.0 points per game, having put up a school-record 689 points in its 13 wins. The Seminoles are 28 points away from matching Oklahoma’s 2008 NCAA record of 716 points. Auburn, at 12-1, is No. 9 nationally in scoring, averaging 40.2 points, with 522 total in going 12-1. Combine the two teams’ point total – 1,211 – and that’s the exact number that USC and Texas had heading into their 2006 BCS classic title game.
= If Auburn scores 30 or more in a game, it’s practically a lock. They’ve won 88 games in a row when scoring 30 or more. In its history, Auburn is 305-4 when breaking 30.
= Florida State freshman quarterback Jameis Winston won the Heisman Trophy with a 190.1 pass efficiency rating, throwing for 3,820 yards and 38 touchdowns. Of those, 26 TDs and 2,579 yards came in the first half.
= Auburn junior quarterback Nick Marshall, who less than two years ago was a reserve defensive back at Georgia and spent last season at a community college in Kansas, ran for 1,023 yards this season. Only two other SEC quarterbacks in history have run for more than 1,000 yards. One is former Auburn Heisman winner Cam Newton. Another is Texas A&M Heisman winner Johnny Manziel. In a 45-41 Auburn win over Texas A&M and Manziel this season, Marshall passed for 236 yards and ran for 100.
= Auburn could be the first team to beat a No. 1 team twice in the same season, after knocking off Alabama 34-28 in November. The last time that came close to happening: Oklahoma, which tied No. 1 Texas (15-15) and beat No. 1 Nebraska (17-7) in 1984.
Got it? Flip the coin and get on with it. Pasadena restaurants are staying open late for your enjoyment.
NBA: LAKERS at CLIPPERS, Staples Center, Friday at 7:30 p.m., ESPN, TWC SportsNet, Prime:
No Kobe? Check. No Chris Paul? Checkmate. So does that seem to even things out a bit when Round 2 of this annual series takes place under the covered up Lakers championship banners (since it’s a Clipper home den)? Maybe it depends if Pau Gasol is around to see this one play out. Go back to that stunning result on opening night – Xavier Henry scores a career-high 22 points, Jordan Farmer adds 16 and the Lakers get 76 points from their bench in a 13-point win to spoil Doc Rivers’ debut as the Clippers coach. With Henry and Farmer among the injured, we’re not sure who the Lakers even have on their bench healthy enough to suit up.

UCLA vs. ARIZONA, Pauley Pavilion, Thursday at 6 p.m., ESPN:
The Wildcats, 15-0 and ranked No. 1 in the nation for the last month, are the best thing going in the Pac-12 at this point. Why would the Bruins or Trojans feel a need to disrupt the attention that Sean Miller’s team had built so far? When these two met last in the semifinals of the Pac-12 Tournament in Vegas, UCLA pulled out a 66-64 come-from-behind win.

If you don't have something nice to say -- don't.
This is a 150k + project , the ford focus is a sub 20k sedan.
This car is a 6 speed manual SS camaro with a Kenne Bell 2.3L SuperCharger.
The wheels/tires cost the price of 2 titanium fully loaded new focuses.
The build video here shows the work and craftsmanship on this BEAST. The owner is infact in the 1% up end of the economy. He also owns a Rolls Royce Phantom coupe with a steel hood ...
Sorry , just had to get the facts out there.

Aggregator does not depend on Block module, it merely provides blocks as one way to list/view aggregated feed items.
This is a stop-gap fix for #1373142: Use the Testing profile. Speed up testbot by 50%. There is actually more in the Aggregator module settings as well as category and feed configuration forms pertaining to blocks (which possibly makes little sense without Block module being enabled - unless you argue that those block settings could be re-used by other modules than Block module), but fixing that is for another, less critical issue.

Hmm, the module_exists() is kinda icky. I guess as a stopgap it could be okay, but it seems to me that it would be better to refactor the block stuff properly throughout the module in one go.
sun’s picture
Any refactoring cannot be backported; but this stop-gap fix should be.
catch’s picture
I opened #1378354: Properly remove dependency of aggregator module on block module. I'm also OK with not adding explicit tests for this, since those are getting added in the testing profile issue. Looks RTBC to me.
beejeebus’s picture
Status:Needs review» Reviewed & tested by the community
yes, this is a simple, clearly justified workaround with follow ups to fix it properly.
Dries’s picture
I'm OK with committing this stopgap solution. I'd recommend that we add a @todo though. Yes or no? :)
xjm’s picture
Well, if we have the followup issue that catch posted, do we still need a @todo as well?
sun’s picture
No. :) We discussed alternative options, but all of them basically run into the same trap:
The @todo would have to be "Completely rewrite this module to bring it on par with our current APIs and standards."
#1378354: Properly remove dependency of aggregator module on block module is sufficient, and after staring at the insanity of code for a couple of minutes, I'd even say we should start to think about a hard deadline for people to work on such major issues. Otherwise, remove it from core, as we'd risk to release D8 with an Aggregator module that has a technical maturity of Drupal 4.7.0.
But well, in the end, we need to have this discussion in #1136482: Remove aggregator.module from core, not here.

I think the bigger question here is why is aggregator module trying to reach into the {block} table and delete stuff in the first place. Isn't that something Block module should take care of on its own?

Excellent SUV
By will199104 on
2001 Honda CR-V LX AWD 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl 4A)
The Honda CR-V is an excellent compact SUV. I have found that the CR-V is a simply compact SUV that serves my basic needed. There are many things that I like about the CR-V. The CR-V has excellent maneuverability, makes it very fun and easy to drive. In my opinion it has outstanding build quality, after eleven years I am amazed at how well it has held up. I like the design of the CR-V, the outside design looks great and the inside is design is very well thought out. All the controls are well placed making it very functional.
Favorite Features
My favorite feature of the CR-V is that it is very easy and fun to drive.
Suggested Improvements
I have several suggested improvements that would make the CR-V an even better SUV. First the CR-V is severally under powered, causing a lot of engine noise. So I think that Honda needs to use a more powerful engine maybe even an optional V6. Second the CR-V gets ok gas mileage 19/23 that needs to be improved.

Derby (Kan.) High tight end DeAndre Goolsby announces his decision to choose the University of Florida for his college football.
Brian Goolsby said Tuesday that his son, DeAndre, knows exactly what he’s getting into at the University of Florida, or he would not have committed to the Gators.
Fortunately for Florida, DeAndre Goolsby, a standout tight end at Derby (Kan.) High, committed to UF on Friday, a day before the Gators’ humiliating 34-17 loss to Vanderbilt in Gainesville. That dropped UF to 4-5 on the season with three games remaining at South Carolina, and at home against Georgia Southern and Florida State.
UF will have to win two of those games to become bowl eligible.
Goolsby talked about his son during a blustery, 27-degree day in Derby, which is just outside Wichita. Obviously the Florida weather was a nice attraction for DeAndre, but the dad also said reassurances that things would get better from UF recruiter Derek Lewis, the Gators’ tight ends coach, made things more comforting.
Photos: Sports Illustrated swimsuit models
“DeAndre kinda looked at that … but when you start looking at the injuries and how they were already going in young at the skill positions and stuff like that … it didn’t really bother him,” said the father, who played fullback at Kansas State in the mid-90s. “He knows what’s coming back, as far as skill guys, and once you get people healthy, it will probably be a different story.”
The young Goolsby, who doesn’t do many interviews, is a highly touted flex tight end with good speed and hands. His numbers are pretty good despite playing in a run-oriented offense at Derby High. He’s rated as the No. 3 tight end in the country by, and the No. 15 tight end in the 247Sports composite rankings. He has 27 catches for 400 yards this season.
“Don’t get me wrong, he’s hearing stuff every day about how people aren’t going to survive and all that and it doesn’t help when you’ve just made your decision,” Goolsby said, “but the coaching staff at Florida let us know early that with injuries and all ... this stuff was going to start happening and to not worry about it. They were confident in him and he’s confident in them, so it was kind of a match made.”
DeAndre Goolsby said during his announcement Friday, "Right now, their record doesn't really bother me, because I know we'll go in there and change some things around."
Plenty of schools will be tugging at the 6-foot-5, 225-pound tight end between now and National Signing Day. He picked Florida over Kansas State, Arkansas and Ohio State, and those schools are not likely to let up.
“He’s 100 percent, but he’s still getting calls every day and he’s turning people down, telling them he’s 100 percent with Florida,” said Dad. “Only way he wouldn’t be is if something drastic happened, like if they let the whole staff go. I think that would be the only thing that would deter him from going down there.”
DeAndre is also a January enrollee, so his decision-making process has been somewhat expedited. He had to make sure his decision was solid since he’ll be packing his bags in a little more than a month to head to Gainesville.
“Tell his mom,” the dad laughed. “She cries about it every morning.”
The former K-Stater said he didn’t try to sway his son to play for his former coach, Bill Snyder.
“When I was coming up, I always told myself I would never tell my kid where to go … only thing I’d do was help him and that’s pretty much what I’ve done,” said Goolsby, an all-state running back in his day at Dodge City High. “DeAndre’s pretty quiet. He’s got all this stuff going on with people knowing who he is, but he sits back and really analyzes everything. I knew once he felt good with a situation, he’s kinda stubborn that way, so he was stuck on it. Whatever choice he made, I felt good about it.
“It was a special time for him, but also a hectic time. We’re just glad it’s over.”
Goolsby is the second athletic, flex-type tight end in the Gators 2014 class, joining C'yontai Lewis (6-5, 215) of Kingwood Christian School in Alabaster, Ala. UF has 15 commitments in the 2014 group.

7 Lessons Christians Can Learn From Martial Arts [Guest Post]
Lessons Christians Can Learn From Martial arts - Tilmann Griesel
In the last couple of weeks my good friend Til and I have talked several times about the parallels between Martial Arts and the spiritual walk of believers. Since he brought up a lot of great points I asked him to write an guest article so all of you can benefit form his experience and wisdom. Here he goes…
Bruce Lee
Bruce Lee
For two years now I have practiced a very effective branch of self defense system called WingChun (also known through the movie IP Man and Bruce Lee). Around the same time I started training WingChun I also met the Lord and got radically touched by Holy Spirit. Quickly I realized how both elements were transforming me into an other man. Spiritual growth on one hand and physical exercise on the other. I since have experienced that the path to physical discipline and becoming a strong fighter presents many parallels to our spiritual growth.
My Grand Master Klaus Brand taught me 12 rules of WingChun. 7 of these I deem not only valid for fighting and self-defense, but also for life and spirituality in general. Here we go:
1. If You Think You Are Weak, You Are
The real battle always happens in our minds. If you think that you can’t do anything, you can’t! It is all about your attitude. Never allow negative thoughts to takeover your daily behavior and therefore your destiny.The person who thinks they can and the person who thinks they can’t are both right.
2. Believe in Yourself and Trust Your Teacher
To grow in God we need both – a humble longing to constantly learn from Him and a solid, confident identity. Always make sure to keep balance between these two.
3. Always Keep Improving Your Technical Knowledge and Your Physical and Mental Flexibility
What ever it is you do and whatever you’re called to – never stop improving. Fighters study theory, but also know that they won’t grow without practical implementation. The same should be true for us. How many things has God revealed to you that you haven’t acted on yet? How often do you wish you grow in spiritual areas, yet you barely exercise the gifts He’s given you? Lay down the book and begin the training.
5. Never Let Yourself be Influenced by the Movements of Your Opponent and Never Yield
Don’t allow negative circumstances and influences to alter your course. Stay focused on your God-given goal and never give up.
6. To Fight You Must Have Continual Tension. Relaxed Muscles Are Useless in Combat
Live your life under a positive tension. You can move and change the world. It’s important to relax, but something in your should always be aware of the importance of your calling and your responsibility to represent His kingdom on earth. Don’t be a fighter without fire.
7. Protect Yourself by Destroying Attacks
bruce lee destroying attacksWhen in a fight it’s always better to “destroy” an attack instead of only dodging it. There are techniques which allow you to redirect the opponents momentum and use it to your advantage. Before you can defend yourself against an attack you need to predict where it will be coming form. In the same way in our spiritual lives, we shouldn’t only wait for temptations or spiritual attacks to happen, but learn the patterns of how and where the devil tries to come at us. Once you’ve identified his techniques (wrong beliefs, lies, negative thoughts, bad relationships…) you can intentionally begin to destroy them by applying the word of God to these exact situations.
Your Turn:
Do you think there are some valuable spiritual lessons hidden in Martial Arts? Which one spoke the most to you? Le’t me know your thoughts, inspirations and feedback in the comments below. I love to hear your feedback!

• wayne davies
This is such a great article, though i don’t practice martial arts anymore i was watching a Jet Li film fierce the other night and was comparing life with and without Jesus and how this mirror’d in the film, basically God just hit me with a light bulb moment after watching it about being disciplined and being a disciple, about how this helps as we move through our walk with him and that this is never about us but just all about him.
Keep up the great work.
• http://www.revivallifestyle.com/ Daniel Vogler
I agree, it’s a great post by my friend Till!
• SistaMeds
#5 definitely spoke to me. Oftentimes you can get stuck spinning you wheels defending yourself against attacks. The key is to remember the battle is the Lord’s! Pray I will remember this instead of responding in my flesh. Lord help!

Crescent Beach House Rental Photos and Description
Duplex-8 total Bedrooms, 6 Full baths, Sleeps 16-18
PP1 our 8 bedroom vacation rental home is perfect for all our families! When you arrive you will want to check out your own private pool, go for a swim or hop on one of the golf carts and head to your white sandy beach. There is direct beach access at the end of our street with golf cart parking in front of the sand dunes. You can grill out by the pool or sit in the rockers on the front porch and feel the ocean breeze. Each unit has an open living, dining, and kitchen area so you can cook, eat, and share memories together. There is hs internet service and hd digital cable boxes in the living areas.The whole house has wood flooring including the 8 bedrooms! NO CARPET! There are 2 King Suites and 6 Queen BR's. The king suites have a walk in closet (perfect for a crib) there is also a double futon in the master suite. We provide: sheets, bath towels, beach towels and chairs, a crib, toddler bed, packnplays, high chair, etc... ask and I will get it for you! We strive to make your vacation as relaxing as possible!
KITCHEN AND LAUNDRY ROOM: I try to keep the kithcens well stocked with everything you will need. There are coffee makers, toasters, blenders, pancake griddles, crock pots, large pots and pans. The pots n pans are hard anidoized which are the healthiest for cooking. There are lots of dishes. I provide corelle white dishes because they are light weight and durable for large families. There are tea kettles, can openers, wine openers, wine glasses, etc...There are baking dishes, cookies sheets, cake pans, muffin tins, mixing bowls, etc...Each refrigerator has an ice maker with a cold water dispenser on the front with a side by side freezer door. There are disposals and dishwashers of course.
There is a laundry room in each unit with a NEW LG full size front loading washer and dryer. There is an ironing board and irons in each unit too! In the lower unit the washer and dryer are the new front loading kind so they take the new he detergent.
HEATED POOL : The pool is very nice. It is heated during certain months of the year. The water temperature is kept between 84 and 88 degrees depending on the outside temperature. In June, July, and August the water does not need to be heated usually. In March, April, May, Sept., and Oct. the pool heater is turned on to keep the temperature at a constant temp. between 84 to 86 degrees. We use an electric heat pump to heat the pool. When the night time temperatures drop below 55 degrees at night it is diffucult to heat the pool so it is not heated in Nov., Dec, Jan, and Feb. for this reason.
Great House for Family Reunions!!!: Pineapple Palms is great for large family reunions because you not only get 8 bedrooms but 2 kitchens and 2 washers and 2 dryers and tons of space to spread out. Our families love the 2 kitchens. Many of the families having reunions and love being together but when they want some space the 2 units are ideal especially at breakfast and lunch time. Having enough space to makes it more enjoyable for everyone. We have many repeat renters so make your reservation asap. Thanks in advance for choosing Pineapple Palms 1 your next vacation rental home in North Myrtle Beach! You will love it here!

About Shelley Kraska
My husband and I own and manage our 4 properties. We take excellent care of all 4 of them. My husband is a retired Dentist and we still have a home in Greensboro, NC but spend 99% of our time now at our beach home in North Myrtle Beach. We love it here! We have 8 grandchildren! We also have 2 yorkies, Hope and Grace. My husband and I grew up in Ohio and both graduated from Ohio State University and then he attended dental school at OSU. (Go Bucks!) We own a personal beach home near just a block from all 4 of our properties. We really looked up and down the coast before deciding on this area of North Myrtle Beach. One reason we loved this section called Crescent Beach is the beach is very wide and beautiful. It is never crowded and very family and pet friendly. You are allowed to use golf carts in this area to drive all over. You are also allowed to ride bikes on the beach. We are close to everything. Parks, Golf Courses, Fine Restaurants, Fantastic Shopping, Tennis Courts, Amusement Parks, Water Sports, Beach Shops, Shows and Entertainment, Marina's, Inlets to the Ocean, Gambling Boats, Deep Sea Fishing etc....It is a great location!I
Shelley Kraska purchased this house in 2006
Why Shelley Kraska chose Crescent Beach
We have been coming to North Myrtle Beach for over 25 years. We love this area. It has beautiful beaches and it is very relaxing. If you want to go out for dinner or shopping or to a show it is close to everything. We own a personal beach home just a block away.
What makes this house unique
I provide 8-10 beach chairs and 12 beach towels. There are sand toys, boogie boards, etc... in a container. I also provide baby items such as a full size crib, crib sheets, mattress pad, packnplays, a packnplay mattress, high chair, booster seat, infant swing, infant bouncer seat, infant bath tub, exersaucer, stroller, baby gates, bed rails, etc...hs internet service as well as hd cable boxes in each living area. There are of course flat screen tv's and dvd players in each bedroom. I think we strive to make your vacation as relaxing as possible! Please let us know if there is a special request and we will do our best to accommodate you! We do pick up beach wheel chairs for our guests and return them.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We had a wonderful family get together at PP1. Our 3 kids and their spouses and children all stayed together in this incredible beach home. We had a wonderful time. There was plenty of space for all of us and there were 15 of us. We had 3 children under the age of 2 and Shelly provided everything we needed for the babies.Our 5 grandchildren loved the private pool and riding to the beach on the golf carts to the beach. The beach was just down the street and it is so wide and never crowded at all. We cooked out on the gas grill and enjoyed the large fully stocked kitchens. There were pancake griddles and a waffle maker. We had everything we needed to prepare large meals. Since there are 2 kitchens it made meal preparation so much easier. It gave us some space so we were not crowded ever. We loved that we had 2 laundry rooms too! The pool and deck area are very nice as well as the large front porches with the rocking chairs. We were close to lots of nice restaurants and the shopping was fantastic. We were close to the Tanger Outlets and they are so nice with all the shops anyone could want. We saw the pirate show with the grandchildren and they loved it. We also went to the amusement park on the beach at Main Street. It is so nice and the kids wanted to return every night. It was very close to the house. The house is beautiful and so nicely decorated. It was cleaner than my own home. I don't know how they keep it so clean. We loved arriving to all clean beds and having the beach chairs and towels was so helpful. There were also lots of sand toys and boogie boards for our use. I know we will definitely be back!

This place was amazing! We visited with our family and another family that we go to church with and we were all very impressed. It was very clean and private. We definately would like to spend another vacation in this beach house.

We have been staying in the Crescent Beach area for the last 10 years and this home was by far the best home ever. The home was well appointed, clean and maintained. Plenty of towels for everyone! My grandchildren loved the heated pool! I can't say enough about Pineapple Palms, we all loved it so much we made arrangements for 2016.

This was our second time here. We love the cottage, location and how well equipped everything is to make for a very relaxing vacation. Very close to ocean beach with only a few steps to get there. When cool at ocean, it can be hot at the cottage deck or pool area. Perfect area for puppies with quiet street location. Owners very attentive to ensure everything is perfect. We plan to return as we just don't think anything better exists!

Relaxing Spring Break Vacation
• 5 of 5
Our family and labradoodle had a wonderful Spring Break Vacation at this beautiful home. The house was very well-maintained, had very comfortable beds and linens, a well-stocked kitchen and plenty of linens for bathroom and pool/beach. The heated pool was a nice addition to our trip, since the early April weather was unpredictable. We were able to swim 3-4 times, despite the cooler temps! It was so much fun for my two teenage boys! My husband and I enjoyed walking our dog to the beach every morning. It is a very close/easy walk. The family really enjoyed using the golf carts and the all the beach chairs for our afternoons at the beach. It is very obvious the owner has taken a lot of time thinking about what the renters will need. It was a perfect relaxing week!

Owner's Response: I really appreciate when our families take the time to write a review of their stay at one of our properties. We try to keep the kitchen well stocked with new pots and pans and other items our large families need to prepare a meal. The pool is heated in the Spring and Fall months so it is nice and warm even if the weather is cooler. All our families love using the golf carts at the house. You are allowed to drive them all over this area. Thanks you again for the outstanding review. Sincerely, Shelley and Jan Kraska
We loved it and had a great time.

We loved our trip, the house was perfect. It was much bigger than we thought and was very well stocked. We loved having the golf carts to get around. We have lots of little ones and the had everything we needed for them. We would recommend this vacation home to others. The owners are very easy to work with, they want to make sure your trip is great.

We recently enjoyed a long weekend stay from Nov. 7th - 11th, 2014. We wanted to thank you Shelley and Jan for allowing us to rent your beautiful home! It was spacious, very clean, beds were comfortable, and very well stocked with dishes, cookware, utensils, towels, etc., which is hard to find sometimes in a rental. Most places provide just the bare minimum of supplies. But not your place!!! It had all we needed for cooking and sharing meals together around the spacious table. The two things we liked best was 1. Being able to bring our small dogs. This was especially important and very much appreciated because 2 weeks before our trip our 4 legged "baby" was diagnosed with Mast Cell Cancer and had to have surgery to remove it. We just recently took him to a Cancer Vet specialist so to be able to take him along with us was priceless! He enjoyed riding the golf cart so much and would run to the door when we asked him if he wanted to "go for a ride" which is the 2nd thing we loved most! Our entire family along with the doggies loved going on our family golf cart rides! Another plus on this trip was that my 70 and 74 year old parents who both have back and neck problems got to enjoy soaking in the Jacuzzi tub in the master bedroom for their 1st time ever. They both said it helped relax the muscles in their backs. We all hope to be able to enjoy this house or another of your rentals in the near future. So from my parents, my husband, kids, and doggies WE THANK YOU ! Hope to return again soon!

Owner's Response: We always appreciate it when our guests and their pets have a great stay at one of our properties. We try to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Our 8 bedroom beach home PP1 is great for families with elderly parents because they do not need to use the stairs and we provide 2 golf carts for driving to the beach even though the beach is very close to the house. We allow our guests to bring their dogs which is wonderful because most dogs do not like to be left at home and many get very anxious when boarded. Our own dogs are getting very old and we hate to board them. We try to take them with us whenever we can. We strive to excellent care of our 4 properties. If there is anything that needs our attention we take care of it immediately.
Car: recommended
PP1 is located on 16th Ave. South in North Myrtle Beach. This area is also called Crescent Beach. Our beach house is very close to PP1. We love this area because it is very family freindly and you can ride bikes on the beach anytime of the day. We love that golf carts are allowed to be driven all over our beach area,to the grocery, parks, tennis courts, shops, restaurants, etc...We have 2 golf carts for our guests that rent PP1. The beaches are pet friendly. We are close to the inlets to the ocean which is great because we have a boat. You can rent a boat, go deep sea fishing, go out on a dinner cruise or one of the gambling boats, etc...because we are close to all the marina's and inlets to the ocean. We are very close to the nicest restaurants, shopping areas, golf courses, shows and attractions, parks, and the best and widest beaches in the area. Our beach access is never crowded and very wide with beautiful white sand. You love this area as much as we do! I am sure of it!
Other Activities: We love to go to oue favorite pizza place right at the end of 16th ave. across the street. It is Benitos wood fired pizzeria with great Italian food and pizza. During the summer you must go to the main street carnival and ride the ferris wheel overlooking the ocean. Our grandchildren love to go and we have a great time always. For a drink by the sea or a great burger there is Molly Darcy's at the end of 17th Ave. South on the Ocean. There is a deck overlooking the Ocean which is great for a beer or sandwich. Mr. G's ice cream and hotdog shop is also on 17th Ave. South across from the Beach Shop where you can pick up anything you might need. You can drive the golf carts to any of these places. There is a very nice park across 17 directly behind Krispy Cream which is also close to PP1 for hot doughnuts anytime of the day. We are close to all the attractions, shopping, restaurants, golfing, fishing, water sports (also on the beach at 17th Ave. South).
Golf: There are numerous golf courses near the house in North Myrtle Beach. There are 2 right across the street at the end of 16th Ave. South one is Beech Wood and the other is Possum Trott. There are really so many excellent courses in this area! It is a golfers dream come true! I would recommend just do a search for golf courses in the Myrtle Beach Area. We are just a mile from the Myrtle Beach area. North Myrtle Beach and Myrtle Beach are one in the same really. North Myrtle Beach is a very family friendly area with all the beach homes and golf carts etc...
Ski: We are not a ski resort so this does not apply but I can give additional information about other activities in this area. We have been to all the shows. The new pirate show is great but I would make reservations asap. We are very close to Bare Foot Landing which has tons of shops and restaurants. Broadway at the beach was fashioned after Bare Foot Landing. The House of Blues is great for teens and college age children with all the bands etc...We are close to the Tanger Outlets which are awesome. They are very nice and I would definately recommend them. Main Street is fun to walk around. It is very close and known for the Shag clubs for dancing and the open air pavillon where you can dance under the stars next to our beautiful beach. It is the Shag Capital of the World. You can buy shag shoes in the shops and take Shag lessons. The ice cream shop the Sugar Shack on Main St. has excellent flavors of ice cream and highly recommended. Have a great time in North Myrtle Beach!

Bacon takes the lead in Iowa House Dist. 48
Defeats political newcomer Becky Perkovich
November 7, 2012
By BILL SHEA ( , Messenger News
Bacon, R-Slater, was leading Democrat Becky Perkovich, of Napier, in House District 48, according to unofficial election results.
At press time, Bacon was winning Boone, Hamilton and Webster counties. Results from Story County were not available.
Bacon is trying to move from the state Senate to the House of Representatives after reapportionment placed him in the same district as Sen. Bill Dix, R-Shell Rock.
House District 48 includes Hamilton County, northeastern Boone County, northwestern Story County and southeastern Webster County. Coalville, Dayton, Lehigh, and Otho are in the Webster County portion of the district.
In Webster County, Bacon won 1,030 votes or 51.02 percent while Perkovich won 987 votes or 48.89 percent.
In Hamilton County, Bacon won 4,266 votes or 57.29 percent, while Perkovich won 3,175 votes or 42.64 percent.
In Boone County, Bacon won 399 votes or 60.82 percent, while Perkovich won 255 votes or 38.87 percent.
According to Bacon, 50 ballots listing him and Perkovich as candidates were incorrectly distributed in some Story County precincts that are not in House District 48. He said the error shouldn't affect the race in House District 48.
Bacon said late Tuesday night that he had been advised of a ''huge mess-up'' in Story County.
''It's about as frustrating as can be,'' he said.

Thanks. Corrected.
My Prof did tell me a few weeks back that I could use a Copy Editor.
Tom said...
A very good job of giving reasonable prognostications in a field that is notoriously hard to predict.
It is true that it's hard for citizen journalists to catch all the typos and errors when you are the only one editing. It's only natural to become blinded to your own copy since you become so familiar with it you see only what it should say, not what it actually does say. Fortunately such mistakes are usually very short lived because some helpful reader is bound to point them out.
However publications produced by a staff should not gloat too much about the advantage they have in this regard. Considering the fact that all their copy passes the eyes of several professional writers before it goes to press, it makes it remarkable that even the New York Times has a daily correction box.
Frankly, most bloggers do a damn good job of editing considering they do it all themselves. What's the New York Times excuse for errors even after their copy passes through multiple editors?
One of the many reasons why internet writing is superior to print is that if a mistake does sneak through online, it is easy to quickly correct it so that all future readers read it right. In print, your mistakes are forever stained on the paper.
Tell that professor the score is still Internet - 1 Mainstream - 0

Thanks Tommy.
Mr Prof is actually a BIG fan of all things Internet (after all, she teaches this course online).
I suspect she is also a big fan of Citizen Journalism.
Anonymous said...
Is she a big fan of using copyrighted photos without permission?
LarryK4 said...
Well I found it on Google images so I figured it was fair game ("fair use" and all that).
Even Mr. Murdoch does not mind a small sampling of his vast media empire available for free on the web.

The nostradamus of Amherst ... more delusions of grandeur.

Actually it was a required academic assignment.
And my Prof would probably point out that Nostradamus is capitalized.

You really are a world-class bullsh*tter.
You swiped it just like a kid illegally downloading music. And, just like the kid, you laugh and say "What's the harm?"
That's called copyright infringement.
Because something is indexed on Google Images does not give you any right to use it. But you are lazy so you just swiped. Note that no copyright notice is displayed on your part.
Fair use is a completely different issue, and your use is not covered by it. If you are so sure that Mr. Murdoch would grant you use then you should ask him through his licensing department.
Of course, it wouldn't matter because this picture isn't owned by Murdoch. It's owned by Paramount Pictures which is a subsidiary of Viacom.
But then again, you're lazy or you would know that.
LarryK4 said...
Well I also noted their was no copywrite notice on Google's part. And they have a tad more money than me.
So if Paramount Pictures gets in a tizzy they will go after them first.

Do you shoplift on the same basis? It's only a candy bar?
Now you are making excuses.
Google is a search engine. This photo wasn't on Google. This photo was on a website that google linked to. It has nothing to do with Google. And you are making excuses for stealing it that they will prosecute someone else first.
So much for integrity.
LarryK4 said...
Since it is sooooo important to you, and you can't find anything else to bitch about...

The first thing that needs to be understood is that every photograph is the intellectual property of the person who took the photograph. Copyright protection attaches even where the person has not put a copyright notice and even if the copyright is not registered with the Copyright Office. (You do, however, need to register with the Copyright Office in order to sue on your rights.)
Every copyright holder has certain exclusive rights that attach to their work. These include the right to reproduce, distribute, display and create derivative works from the work (there are others that don’t apply to photography). Without permission, even if you were to give credit to the copyright holder, you would still be infringing their work.
As far as my liability for you loading the copyrighted of the work onto my computer and uploading it from there, I could be subjected to vicarious liability for my part (or, more accurately, my computer’s part) in the copyright infringement.
If you were to contact the photographer and ask for permission to use the photo, you then would not be violating the rights of the photographer provided you abide by whatever terms the two of you agree to.
LarryK4 said...
About 95% of the photos I use on this blog are ones I take. And many of them end up in Google images as well. And my sitemeter tells me they get used all the time.
So while I on very rare occasion borrow from the Well of Knowledge, at least I also contribute more than I receive.

Larry, your argument that you "steal" less than is "stolen" from you is faulty.
Journalists are trained to have the intergrity to know that one of their functions is to educate. Thus the importance that was placed on grammar, spelling, plagarism....
Your response appears to indicate that you think a different interpretation of copyright law applies to your blog or maybe all blogs and/or internet writing.
Could you clarify?

Larry why are you bothering to argue with these people? They really don't give a shit about copyrights, it's just a distraction so they don't have to argue about the real points you raise. I suggest you respond to such people like I do:
Anonymous said...
It seems to me that your whole point has been that Citizen Journalism is legitimate and should be taken seriously. Well, then Citizen Journalists have to take it seriously too. They have to respect copyright law and not plagiarize material or illegally use copyrighted photos, videos or text. This places a burden on them, because they don’t the have dollars to pay to access copyrighted material legally. However, they also don’t have the expenses that major media have either. The newspapers and magazines, whether online or on paper, pay to use copyrighted photos. Something to think about for your next class.
LarryK4 said...
Yeah, good point Tommy.
I'm sure IF "Harry T." has a blog it is perfect (perhaps he can afford to hire a Copy Editor.)
But then, if he had a blog he probably would not be bothering me.
Tom said...
Seriously, if someone doesn't want their photos copied it is easy to prevent it, either by asking Google to remove it (they will gladly do so) or encoding the photo itself so it cannot be copied and a message appears to the effect "You are not authorized to copy this photo."
But very few photographs have those restrictions on them because their owners WANT them to be copied. What they gain in publicity and exposure far surpasses in value the few pennies they would get in payment for charging someone to use it. Instead they are delighted to have their image (their brand) endlessly copied and reproduced as a wonderful form of advertising they could never afford to pay for.
As for copying words, the rules are identical to those of the print world. So-called "fair use" allows you to use a reasonable sampling - usually not more than two or three paragraphs - to illustrate how it relates to what you are writing about and why someone should read the whole thing. You are then expected to follow it with a link and a phrase to the effect "To read the rest click here."
But even these rules get fuzzy online. Many people, especially those who are advocating a particular opinion, will welcome you copying as much as you want. When the New York Times tried to put its columnists behind a paywall they rebelled, demanding that they be available for free, and the Times backed down. The columnists didn't want to miss out on the media invitations, book deals and increase in their own fame that comes from being copied and distributed all over the internet.
The phrase used on the internet to describe this phenomenon is "Content wants to be free." At least by those who intend to make money, giving it away is the best way to rake it in.

As long as Larry acknowledges his sources and isn't
using others' material for his own commercial purposes, his free-use shouldn't run afoul of copyright principles.
But if Larry and his fellow-travelers really want to make progress, consider adopting the "copyleft"
principles used by many programmers and other

Hey Larry, trolls aside, there's an easy way to make sure the photos you use are kosher.

Howell will push for tax, legal reforms to spur W.Va. business
KEYSER, W.Va. — In the upcoming state legislative session, Delegate Gary Howell plans to address the quality of education, increase of road funding to ensure safer roads, and will be pushing for tax reform and legal reform to improve the business climate of the state.
Howell, along with other legislators, will be using the Governor’s Office Education Audit, which was completed last year, to make changes to funding formulas to increase quality of education in the state.
“I believe more local control is important. It will allow educators and parents to work closer together to provide the best education possible for the students,” said Howell, who noted other recommendations of the audit will also be addressed.
Howell is making the completion of Corridor H and a four-lane upgrade to U.S. Route 220 as a top priority.
“An increase in the amount of bonds the state is permitted to issue for highway construction is being discussed,” said Howell. “I'm hoping recommendations of a WVU report from a number of years ago on highway construction will be part of the discussion.”
During a December meeting, the Mineral County Development Authority requested that legislators forgive the debt on the Fort Ashby Business and Technology Park and to promote it at the West Virginia Development Office.
“This issue exists in almost every industrial park in the state,” said Delegate Robert Schadler during the meeting. “It’s not just this one shell building. It’s going to take a broader effort. I know that Mineral County would love the state to forgive their loans. We are talking 800,000 bucks — that’s a lot of money — and if you multiply that by 40, now you are talking real dollars.”
Rick Linthicum, authority president, noted that the authority can’t defer the cost of the park and they would be willing to pay it back.
“The unintended consequences, in my opinion, was the building was built before we had somebody that needed it,” said Linthicum. “We need pressure on the (state) Development Office to know where Mineral County is, especially Fort Ashby. Most big corporations do not want to talk to the authority; they want to talk to the state Development Office.”
The park is under the control of the authority and not the state, said Howell. He believes that the recent appointment of new members to the authority will make a big difference.
“(County) Commissioner Jerry Whisner has already been in contact with me on ideas and requesting information on what resources are available from the state,” said Howell in an email. “I stand ready to assist in any way possible to help bring jobs to Mineral County and will continue to push pro-job growth legislation in Charleston.”
There are a total of 70 acres at the park and 63 are left, according to Mona Ridder, executive director of the authority.
The legislative session will open Wednesday but will recess until Feb. 13 in order to give the newly elected governor a chance to prepare his budget and get his staff in order, Howell said.
Howell has planned two Town Hall meetings. The first will be held Jan. 22 at 6 p.m. in the Mineral County Courthouse. The second will be Jan. 29 at 6 p.m. at Greater Cumberland Regional Airport in Wiley Ford. “These are being held to hear the ideas of the citizens that I represent, because some of the best ideas come from the people,” Howell said.

HTC One Home and Back capacitive buttons plagued with sensitivity issue, but a fix is in sight
by on April 26, 2013 10:23 am
Jump To:
samsung galaxy s4 vs htc one one viewing angle aa
The HTC One may be one beautiful piece of hardware, but if you’re very particular about user experience, this issue might be a deal breaker — at least until HTC comes up with a fix. Users have observed and reported a serious issue with the HTC One’s capacitive buttons, which makes it difficult to get the desired results when you press on the home and back virtual buttons.
XDA Developers member m03sizlak posted a collection of observations, which indicates that the issue is not an isolated case. Even customer service representatives from the Sprint store where he bought his HTC One say it’s a known issue, which is present even on the demo units at the store.
Symptoms appear to be sporadic, and users observe the problem to be an inconsistent detection of button-presses. Other users believe the detection area is actually too small, and you would have to be very accurate in touching the glass to get the desired result. As such, you might keep on pressing Home or Back, but the HTC One will not respond in most cases.
Fortunately, a fix is in sight, although HTC has only started rolling out an OTA update to unbranded devices across Europe and Asia, which means users from the US who bought the HTC One from carriers are likely to experience some delay before getting the update.
The “″ update (where “xxx” is your country code) actually brings a few improvements on top of the “virtual button sensitivity” adjustment, which includes camera adjustments, improved Beats Audio experience and improved bluetooth device matching. If you have an unlocked or non-carrier branded device, then you can try updating through Settings / About / Software Update / Check Now. Otherwise, you might have to wait until the update is rolled out for your carrier.
Should this be a deal-breaker for prospective HTC One buyers? Might this force you to go for a Samsung Galaxy S4 or other device, instead? If you’re considering either of these flagship devices, you can check out our HTC One vs. Samsung Galaxy S4 by-the-numbers comparison. Or, you can check out our Samsung Galaxy S4 vs. HTC One video comparison.

No piece of hardware comes perfect out of the box, and this includes iphones and galaxies.
• apploholics
Yes, but this is HTC, who has always ignored factory defects. There is no fix to this problem and never will be, but dont take my word for it, learn the hard way like i did, you guys will soon find out why HTC fell from being number one to become the most hated android manufacturer.
• Garry DeWitt
Given that the touch panel is one whole piece (including the area where the buttons are), and the screen isn’t having any issues, I would infer that is a software issue. Furthermore the update posted in the article seems to contain a fix.
> learn the hard way like i did
Well lets see, so far they’ve released improvements for the camera and button sensitivity, that’s two points. In the opposite direction I’ve heard reports of unusual gaps in the zerogap construction from the speaker grills to the plastic area. I don’t have this but others have posted pics of it. they’re less than 1mm (maybe .3?), so I’m guessing HTC is just saying that it’s in acceptable error margin, probably to help supply. So that can be a point against them.
2/3 is not terrible, though to be fair the issues they’ve fixed are software (meaning the idea of calling it a hardware defect is silly)
• mjolnirxz
obvious troll is obvious, the OTA 1.29 has fixed the issue already, as reported by members on XDA. The only question that remains is when it would be pushed out to the US customers due to carrier obstruction and inefficiency
• ardain
I think you’re going too extreme. :D
I also hate HTC, but I don’t think this issue will make they falling to bottom of list, lol.
And I heard it’s already fixed, so not really big deal.
• Travis
as long as the update fixes the issue, i’m not going to consider it a negative on the phone.
• fixxmyhead
what about when it takes months for the update especially in the US?
• amine ELouakil
exchange your phone for a new one? duh.
• quietly defective
There is no fix, this is HTC remember? When did they ever fix factory defects?
• juye
My ONE just fixed in the midst of reading this article, many jump the gun too fast and too sure. But too bad the result is not the way they wanted to be. Problem fixed. Only 30 minutes ago fixed mine. I think many HTC hater must be very disappointed. Too bad for them, wait for next chance.
• dandroid13

• Richard Young
I’ve had this problem with my HTC One. No way is it a deal breaker. Best piece of technology I’ve ever used.
• Alu Zeros
Let me know if anybody else notice this, if you keep volume at n just one bump up about no sound,after a while it will turn up automatically up. Also this is with put phone in bag vol feature off. Happens with phone facing up or down and not in pocket.
• chocho
this is a deal breaker for me if no fix. I love my current S3 but I love that One’s design. if no fix i will wait for HTC TWO lol
• chocho
oh and I think maybe there’s no fix for current batch, But maybe they will secretly include it in their next batch
• mjolnirxz
there is a fix, this article is obviously biased because 1.29 fixes the issue.
• Garry DeWitt
I flashed an INT rom on the first day (which was using the leaked base that would become the update they speak of in the article) and haven’t had much problems. I will say that the trigger area is small. I first thought I was having a sensitivity problem, but then after I pressed and it didn’t happen I would look at where my thumb was. Sure enough it was just a little off where the actual home button was. Pressing the actually button worked. It’s been 3 days and I’ve gotten used to the size of the button, no problems now.
• mozz
This is so typical of HTC and one of the reasons i stopped buying their products. They always seem to have common problems that should be rectified in testing.
• jetuo
Hi my HTC ONE having this button problem since day one and I have tried all methods suggested, such as recalibrate sense sensitivity, but problem still there. One the half way reading this article, I did check update, found update and updated. Then guess what, BINGO, problem disappeared.
the update change the blink feed page style too. Now its has a drop down menu to choose which news site you wand to read.
But one point I want to bring up here, we do have real problem with buttons, and article is also about this problem, many users brought up this issue. But someone said need to press precisely or should press this way or that way or sound like other don’t know how to use. Users nowadays have great experience of smart phone and how it should be, and report real problem. So say something sound like not a problem just like users don’t know how to use it. That is really annoying.
• isamu
I had the same problem with my htc one try this worked wonders for me no longer have this problem
go into settings, language keyboard, htc sence input, advanced, calibration tool press the highlited circles on keyboard until it shows complete then see if it has made any difference for you :)

Judges: A Drifting People, A Delivering God (part seven)
What happens when people reject the one true God and place their allegiance elsewhere? What is the result when we exalt ourselves over everything else, and pursue our selfish ambition with abandon? Sometimes when we say, "Not Your will, but my will be done," God says, "So be it." Sometimes God grants us the desire of our hearts even when He knows it will lead to destruction. Bad things happen when we exchange God for a poor substitute. Even God's children defiantly do things our way from time to time. How did that work out for you the last time you tried it?

A present for my friends here on TFL (not bread)
"I worked for KFC for many years and I made cole slaw several times a week. This recipe was invented by Sanders himself. We made 25 pounds at a time and the recipe was equal amounts of Miracle Whip and sugar and 1/4 the amount of oil and vinegar. But here it is in a table serving amount
1 head of cabbage, shredded
1 or two carrots
1/4 onion
1 cup Miracle Whip Salad Dressing
1 cup sugar (yep, I cup)
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup vinegar
Mix together and pour over cabbage mix. Let it sit for a few hours before eating and I guarantee it is the exact same as KFC."
I have made this recipe dozens of times and it IS the KFC recipe. I know it looks all wrong, "A cup of sugar!!! argh! trust me. Make it and you will become a believer.
I offer this to the members of TFL as my gift to you.
Happy Holidays from me.

Young Edgar's Horseback Riding Adventures
Reminiscences of horse back riding.
Edgar was reminded of his Junior High School Adventure after seeing photos of our granddaughter, astride a horse in Italy, during her exchange student adventure.
He joined the horseback riding club in Wagner Junior High School, mainly because he liked the idea of jodphurs. Mr. George Lieberman supervised and sponsored the club which met after classes. The 7 or 8 adventurers arrived in Fairmount Park at the stables. It must have been in 1940 or 1941.
Previous to this, Mr. Lieberman held a class, explaining the use of the different kinds of riding gear - stirrups, saddles, bits, etc.
Edgar was helped onto an old horse by one of the stable hands and led into the corral. No sooner had the stable hand let go, then, the horse turned around and trotted back into the stable. (A pause here for a good chuckle is advised.) Undaunted, Edgar tried again, this time, successfully. He and his classmates sauntered around the perimeter of the corral with some minor setbacks. For instance: a classmate, Franklin Goren's saddle slipped and he wound up on the ground, with the saddle under the horse's belly. He did not get hurt. Malka Hofman's horse knew that he was in control, and not Malka, and decided to graze. And somehow, this irritated another horse, who bit Malka's horse on the rump. That caused Malka's horse to rear up. Malka let go with a scream that they must have heard back at Wagner, but, again, no one got hurt.
In spite of all these minor mishaps, we all learned, after a fashion, to control our old and docile animals.
Then the big day came and Mr. Lieberman led us into the park for an uneventful walk. And, as the saying goes, all's well that ends well.
Years later, Edgar, minus jodphers, and a friend went on a double date - horseback riding. (This was many years before I met Edgar.) The friend thought he was a big shot and could handle anything that came his way. Bad idea. His horse decided to graze, and the friend went flying over the horse's head and landed on the ground with a separated shoulder. The dates were not impressed. And that was Edgar's last ride on a live horse.
Since then, in our 50 years of marriage, Edgar and I rode on a carousel horse in Sandwich, Massachusetts.

Keira Knightley's laptops stolen in London home robbery
WENN, Wednesday, November 3, 2010, 1:17am (PDT)
Keira Knightley has called in police after her London home was ransacked by burglars while she attended the Rome Film Festival in Italy.

Keira Knightley was promoting her newest movie, "Last Night," at the annual movie event when the thieves targeted her $1.95 million property.
They are thought to have entered Knightley's apartment block through a faulty door and gained access to her home by forcing their way in.
The burglars took two personal laptops, leaving Knightley feeling "violated" and worried about returning to the property, according to Britain's The Sun.

A source tells the publication, "Keira is mortified to think anyone has been rummaging around her personal stuff. She feels violated and doesn't know if she wants to return to the flat."
Police are currently investigating the incident as the 25-year-old actress recovers from the shock on vacation.
A statement from London's Scotland Yard reads, "Officers from Westminster CID (Criminal Investigation Department) are investigating a residential burglary at the flat. It is believed to have occurred between 9am and 9pm on October 26. A forensic team from Westminster CID was dispatched to dust for any fingerprints or shoe marks left behind."

tribal style, ethnic style, retro style, is a culture of relief in backgrounds

Tribal style does not have to be wild. Style and fashion can be mild. Indoors, gardens reflect the appearance as my sparked-out accessories leave imprints of seashells, that are take home so that my brother may build his house on. Because in fashion and style I am the head cornerstone.
Naturally, spirt and truth shines a light that grabs at personal being senses. The ultimate goal is a connection of a divine like nature, imaginative or realistic. A Lion of Judah must conquer.
Foreign influences always excite the homebody's enlightenment as an explorer can travel with natural fiber textiles that are plant based in preference and pattern.
Outdoors, remind you of durability how will my outfit float in stripes of chevrons. The inspiration is tribal but the designer must be ethnic with her retro style architecture. The prints should be down to earth with meaning. Or else it will fall.
Respect the culture with appreciation then style and fashion will follow.

The Piercing Bible - best rings for ear piercing en Ear Piercing Problem <!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>I received a message from a gal who was having problems with an ear piercing:</p> <blockquote><p><br />I can't get a good picture of the piercing so I'll try my best to describe the situation. I got my 4th piercing on my earlobe around the end of May 2012, and I think I may have created another hole next to the actual piercing. The piercing is probably around 90% healed; the front hole is healed and never bleeds, but the back hole (where the earring comes out of) is still healing and sometimes will bleed a tiny bit. I've been cleaning my piercing with salt water and anti bacterial soap, I have not used any creams or lotions on it, it does not hurt or ache and there is no pus. However, I think I may have poked another hole at the back of my ear when I pushed the earring back through the hole after I took it out to clean it. So now, I think I have one front hole, and two holes in the back. The earring can go through the front and out the back in two separate holes, and the two back holes are not connected. Something might have ripped on the inside of the piercing. I'm trying to close one of the holes, and the skin on the new one has already formed over but the area around it looks a bit red. Should I continue to clean it as I have been doing? Or should I get it checked out?<br /><br />Any information would be helpful, thanks!</p> </blockquote> <p>Hi there,</p> <p>Your description is good, but I'm still not going to be able to offer thorough advice without seeing you, or at least a clear, close up photo or two.<br /><br />Are you wearing <a href="" title="Quality Body Jewelry from Body Circle Designs">body jewelry</a> or a traditional earring?

Money Matters
Real Couple: Nikki & Brad
Location: Los Alamitos, California
Their Digs: They rent a 2-bedroom, 2-bath apartment for now. They’re planning to buy in the next six months.
Ages: She’s 26; he’s 25.
Together Since: February 2007
Wedding Date: January 26, 2008
How They Met: Nikki was delivering concert tickets to her friend Ryan in Los Angeles. Ryan and Brad were friends and introduced them. She invited them to a fundraiser she was hosting the next night, and they actually came! She celebrated the success pretty enthusiastically, so Brad offered to give her a ride home. Unbeknownst to her, she left her wallet in his car, so she had to drive to Ventura from LA to pick it up. They ended up having a four-hour lunch. A week later they went out on their first official date and instantly felt a connection. They were engaged within five months!
Careers: Nikki is an event and wedding coordinator; Brad is an independent adjuster.
Have Sex: Five times a week or more
Baby Clock: They plan to start trying in the next three years, unless a pleasant surprise comes earlier.
Pets: Two cats named Rogue and Mystique and a tortoise named Petry
Biggest Compromise: Brad moved down to where Nikki lived for a year, so she agreed to move away from her family up to Ventura for “as long as we can handle it,” says Nikki.
Interests & Hobbies: Nikki loves modern, tap, and belly dancing as well as card making. Brad likes Warhammer and World of Warcraft. They both love to travel as well.
Guilty Pleasures: Playing Nintendo Wii
No One Knows: Nikki has gotten Brad into not only watching but getting excited about So You Think You Can Dance, Step It Up and Dance, and America's Best Dance Crew.
Splurge: Their new leather couches and big-screen TV
Anniversary Gift: “We haven't gotten there yet, but we really want to go back to Big Bear where we spending our honeymoon snowboarding and snuggling up by a fire,” says Nikki.
Nicknames: They use “Snoodle-bug” for each other, but Nikki sometimes calls her husband “Billy-Brad” because his first name is William (he goes by his middle name, Brad).

House of 1000 Corpses or Devils Rejects
House of 1000 Corpses or Devils Rejects

To me they were a big let down

I only saw 100 Corpses and I will never see another Rob zombie movie. I'll never get those 2 hours back so I'm not about to waste 2 more on anything else he does.
I totally agree with you there. Only saw Devils Rejects and it was a complete waste of my time.

House of 1000 Corpses by far was better... although... Devil's Rejects had some pretty good moments as well... I thought Sheri, Sig, and Bill were much more twisted and demented in HC... and more badass in DR. Honestly, I prefer sick and demented, myself.

HorrorFreak321's picture
They both were great movies, but I'm gonna have to go with Devil's Rejects
Bloody boy's picture
I kind of like the first one, but D R was pretty good but the House of 1,000 corpses was more scarier, because the Devils Rejects was not really scary at all, more.........funny.
