"A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." –2nd Amendment
Recent mass shooting tragedies have renewed the national debate over the 2nd Amendment. Gun ownership and homicide rates are higher in the U.S. than in any other developed nation, but gun violence has decreased over the last two decades even as gun ownership may be increasing. Over 200 years have passed since James Madison introduced the Bill of Rights, the country has changed, and so have its guns. Is the right to bear arms now at odds with the common good, or is it as necessary today as it was in 1789?

Breakdown Graphic
One must read the Federalist Papers concerning the Militia to understand the Second Amendment. It was meant to prevent Gov't at any level from controlling the citizen's arms. The Militia was seen as the final check on the Federal Gov't. To the extent of explaining that the Federal Gov't could never have an army large enough to defeat the combined militia. Its in there. Not this exact wording but there. The Federalist Papers can be downloaded and searched so look it up if there is doubt. Given this why would ANY Federal firearms regulation be possible? Its only possible because the Supreme Court wanted to control firearms in the 1930s. Bingo the Unconstitutional (from previous decisions) was suddenly Constitutional due largely to ignorance or perhaps agenda advancement by the Court.
I have lived in the Northeast, the south and the midwest. I have also lived in Puerto Rico (a US territory with the strictest gun control laws amongst all 50 states). Guess what? Criminals have no problem at all getting weapons, while the regular citizenry does...
If you make it illegal, only criminals will have it!
While I don't think guns should be so readily available, I also don't want the government to know what guns I own or how much ammo I own and most certainly don't want them registered.
I'm a socialist - far left of liberal, but at the same time I'm a firm believer that the government should be in fear of the people, not the other way around.
What is a right, and what is a privilege? In the final analysis, the only rights you possess are those you can defend. As such the right to self-defense is the most basic of human rights. It is what separates the citizen from the subject.
The right to bear arms must not trump the right for our children to have a safe public education. If it does, then the only safe education will be "home-schooling" in "gated" communities.
"The 2A is an anachronistic, as well as a misinterpreted document. It was written when all guns were single shot, barrel loaded and highly inaccurate except at very close range. It was written when many citizens of this country were living in a frontier environment. It was also written in a time when tyrants could be ousted from power at the end of a musket barrel. NONE of that holds true today! The intent of the amendment was to allow for gun ownership in support of a militia. Militias were necessary to provide for the security of the citizenry at a time when the federal government was incapable and unwilling to provide said security. Had the founding fathers foreseen automatic weapons with high capacity ammo clips that are highly accurate even at great distances being available to every person in the country common sense dictates that the 2A would never have been written. Those men were much more enlightened than the NRA and the rest of the gun toting cretins who invoke their dubious (at best) right to bear arms now. The facts are indisputable no matter what the NRA propaganda machine churns out and what their kool-aid drinking constituency believe. Countries that ban gun ownership are safer and houses that do not have weapons are also safer. PERIOD!"
This is the most ridiculous thing I have read today. By saying that the 2A was meant only for muskets and flintlocks, then you must say that 1A is meant only for printed paper and vocal conversations and not the internet. If the founding fathers would have foreseen firearms that are capable of holding 15-30 rounds and re-chamber themselves, (I refuse to call them assault rifles because thats not what they are) they would have kept the same amendment because they knew that the citizens of this nation would have to defend themselves against a tyrannical government just like the one they fought off. Countries that ban firearms are NOT the safest countries. Switzerland is Europe's gun capital. It has more firepower per person than any other country in the world yet it is said to be one of the safest places on Earth
Both these stances are flawed in their wording, but I am regrettably AGAINST the motion. The text of the Amendment is clear, and there's no real need to get into whether it's anachronistic or not. That's the nature of a constitution. As The Don posted articulately, but needlessly provocatively ("Please Shut Up!!") there is a method to amend the constitution. If there is a political consensus that there needs to be tighter regulation of guns -- and I personally believe some additional reasonable regulation is warranted -- not elimination of guns, but regulation designed better to keep them away from criminals and the mentally ill -- then there has to be a change to the constitution, full stop.

You mention the musket. Well then lets out that to the test on free speech. In the same time you could not reach millions of millions people with one key stroke. All there was was the quill and paper.
There isn't a time limit on the Constitution .
The 2nd Amendment says two important things, one of which has been overlooked. It categorically states that a "well-regulated militia" is NECESSARY to the security of a free state. If a state does not or cannot maintain a militia, its status as a free state is no longer secure. Most states do not maintain any sort of militia, well-regulated or otherwise. We, as citizens of those states should be asking why not.
The second Amendment is the only Law
Against the motion
The 2A is an anachronistic, as well as a misinterpreted document. It was written when all guns were single shot, barrel loaded and highly inaccurate except at very close range. It was written when many citizens of this country were living in a frontier environment. It was also written in a time when tyrants could be ousted from power at the end of a musket barrel. NONE of that holds true today! The intent of the amendment was to allow for gun ownership in support of a militia. Militias were necessary to provide for the security of the citizenry at a time when the federal government was incapable and unwilling to provide said security. Had the founding fathers foreseen automatic weapons with high capacity ammo clips that are highly accurate even at great distances being available to every person in the country common sense dictates that the 2A would never have been written. Those men were much more enlightened than the NRA and the rest of the gun toting cretins who invoke their dubious (at best) right to bear arms now. The facts are indisputable no matter what the NRA propaganda machine churns out and what their kool-aid drinking constituency believe. Countries that ban gun ownership are safer and houses that do not have weapons are also safer. PERIOD!
Washington Is STUPID. I am a simple welder and I know more and understand more than these stupid idiots. I live 14 miles from the nearest red light anbd protecting my family is a fundamental right and NO congress should ever consider taking this right away from me.
Having been a member of a "standing army" and a 35 year career law enforcement officer, there is now way I would trust my life, the lives of my family and friends and my property to any "standing army" or a "well trained police force." Although the vast majority of the members of both are professional and have character and integrity, there are enough mediocre members in both to shoot down that notion. Members who should not be in either function. On top of that there are enough who are only there protecting their jobs and who would do whatever told even if it is illegal in order to preserve their jobs. That would include disarming the law-abiding citizens of this great country. Never put your lives and property and freedom in the hands of anyone, preserve our constitution, especially the 2nd Amendment, without which the others would be indefensible.
The first two amendments to the US Constitution were placed one and two for a reason. The first, assures our right to speak out against government tyranny, the second, the right to remain able to back up our speech.
Now, more than any time in my memory, is the 2nd amendment more important than ever.
There are a lot of fools out there that would take all of our Constitutional rights they need to move to China then they would not have to change anything
Not exactly sure this will be a 'debate'. The polling as of this moment has 2% in favor of removing/limiting the 2nd Amendment.
More specifically, the Panel that has to argue for the right being outdated have a nearly impossible task ahead of them.
It will be exciting to see what happens!
If you want to see how relevant the Second Amendment is, try taking it away.
As for whether it has out-lived its usefulness, tell me: has something made the possibility of tyrannical government impossible forevermore?
From its passage and until the late 20th century, the 2nd Amendment to the constitution was interpreted to protect the rights of states to maintain militias and for militiamen to sustain arsenals. In the early years of our country, there was no standing federal army (the founders were afraid of a national standing army consolidating power) and the states were expected to sustain a state militia in order to contribute to the national defense; this expectation necessitated protections for militias that would facilitate militiamen keeping weapons for their service.
The 2nd amendment was predicated upon the maintenance of state militias—something that has become irrelevant in the face of our federal armed services—and is not something that should have allowed individuals to claim the right to own weapons. State militias had the right to bear arms, but individual, unattached Americans had no such right—this distinction in the difference between the 2nd Amendment being a collective right or an individual right.

July 29, 2014
Prosecutors say as many as half a dozen of Jerry Sandusky's molestation victims will be heard at his sentencing hearing.
On Tuesday, a judge will sentence the former Penn State assistant football coach on 45 counts of child sexual abuse. The 68-year-old Sandusky faces the likelihood of a sentence that would keep him in prison for the rest of his life.
Lead prosecutor Joe McGettigan said Monday that the victims would speak at the hearing.
Sandusky also is expected to speak and to assert his innocence.
Defense attorney Karl Rominger says the sentencing proceeding may be over in less than two hours.
Sandusky plans to appeal his conviction on charges he abused 10 boys over 15 years, including attacks inside Penn State athletics facilities.

Wednesday's Twins Minor League Daily
by, 08-16-2012 at 06:33 AM (667 Views)
It feels like almost every Wednesday night when I write this, the Twins have lost, or are in the process of losing. I didn't watch or follow today's game. It looked from the highlights like Max Scherzer had a pretty good day. Oh well. Let's take a look at tonight's minor league action.
Esmerling Vasquez had a great game tonight, going 7 innings, allowing only 4 hits, striking out 10 and walking 2. Deolis Guerra pitched the remaining 2 innings, giving up 2 runs on 3 hits. Guerra struck out 4 and allowed a home run.
Evan Bigley had the big hit of the night (see what I did there??), with a 3-run homer in the 7th inning. It was his third AAA home run. Clete Thomas was 2-for-4 with a double and 2 RBIs, Wilkin Ramirez was 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI, "new" Red Wing shortstop Brian Dozier had a double in 4 at-bats (and 2 strikeouts), and Nishi and Rene Rivera each singled.
Here's the link to the box score.
Starter B.J. Hermsen was very effective tonight until the 5th inning, when he gave up 4 hits and 1 run. He struck out 4 and issued no walks tonight. Blake Martin tossed a scoreless inning in relief, allowing 1 walk and striking out 1. Aaron Thompson also threw 1 scoreless frame, giving up 1 hit and striking out 1 batter. Dakota Watts had a tough night, giving up 2 runs on 2 hits in 1 inning of work, striking out 1 and walking 1. Jose Gonzalez also threw a scoreless inning, striking out 1.
There was virtually no New Britain offense tonight until there were 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th. After Chris Colabello and Joe Benson singles, Deibinson Romero homered to tie up the game, his 18th of the season. A pretty exciting finish followed for those that stayed. After holding Richmond scoreless in the top of the 10th, the Rockcats walked off in the bottom half. Minnesota's own Nathan Hanson led off the inning with a single, and was replaced by Estarlin De Los Santos as a pinch runner. After James Beresford grounded out to advance De Los Santos to second, Aaron Hicks singled, and De Los Santos moved to third. Chris Herrmann walked, and it was up to . . . Oswaldo Arcia, who had been 2-for-4 on the night. He delivered with a walk-off single to score De Los Santos, and the Rock Cats won. Arcia finished the evening 3-for-5 with an RBI, and is batting .337 for New Britain.
Joe Benson did have 2 outfield assists tonight, so that was a positive for him.
Here's the link to the box score.
A tough night all around for the Miracle. Matthew Summers started, and lasted 4 innings, giving up 1 unearned run on 3 hits, striking out 2 and walking 4. Ryan O'Rourke lasted only 1/3 of an inning, and gave up 6 runs on 5 hits, walking 1. Miguel Munoz finished that inning, not before giving up 5 runs on 4 hits and a walk. Munoz allowed 2 home runs. A.J. Achter and Ricky Bowen settled things down a little; each tossed a scoreless inning, striking out 1 and 2, respectively. Michael Tonkin also threw 1 inning in relief, and gave up 4 runs (2 earned) on 3 hits, striking out 2 and walking 1.
Right fielder Lance Ray was 2-for-4 with a double, Jonathan Goncalves had a double and an RBI, and Daniel Santana, Levi Michael and Josmil Pinto all singled.
Here's the link to the box score.
Cole Johnson started and went 2 and 2/3 innings. He gave up 3 runs on 3 hits, striking out 6 and walking 1. Tim Atherton went 2 and 1/3 innings, allowing 1 run on 2 hits, striking out 3 and walking 1. Corey Kimes gave up 3 runs on 3 hits in 2 innings. Kimes issued 2 walks and struck out 1. Corey Williams tossed 1 inning and allowed 2 runs, striking out 3. Zachary Jones allowed 1 run in his inning of work on 2 hits. Snappers pitchers gave up 4 home runs tonight.
Luckily, the Beloit offense was better than its pitching. JaDamion Williams and Eddie Rosario both homered. It was Williams' 5th and Rosario's 8th. Rosario also doubled. Matthew Koch was 1-for-3 with a homer of his own, as well. Miguel Sano, Kennys Vargas, Drew Leachman and Stephen Wickens all had 2 hits apiece, and Nate Roberts had a single, as well. Nate Roberts stole his 22nd base of the season.
Here's the link to the box score.
ELIZABETHTON vs. BLUEFIELD --- POSTPONED
Felix Jorge started for the Twins today, and went 4 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 5 hits, striking out 4 and issuing no free passes. Josue Montanez threw 2 and 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing 3 hits and striking out 4. Hung Yi Chen completed the game, going 2 and 1/3 innings, giving up 1 run on 1 hit, and striking out 1.
Second baseman Logan Wade was 2-for-3 with a double, a triple and a walk. Great game for him. Aderlin Mejia, Bryan Haar and Will Hurt all singled. That was it for the offense!
Here's the link to the box score.

... really?
holy boop, guys. i say we dial down the passions here. i mean.. it's just an argument, no?
Unclever title wrote:I think I may have used the word hardcoded incorrectly or something, I only meant to say that like the other Arkentools the Arkendish is likely limited by the way in which it works (granted I was assuming it works in ways related to thinkamancy). Of course Dwagons can be popped, but if you don't have one at the moment it can't be tamed because it's not there, that's all that I meant by the "needs Dwagons to tame" same as with the walnuts and that you can't decrypt what's not dead. All of these limitations can be surpassed by strategy but they can also be exploited by strategy (granted it might be very difficult). So they are still limitations. This is how I think the Arkentools are balanced with respect to each other, and how they do not guarantee victory.
yep. i'm with you on that one. i just went from there to money for the Arkendish because, apart from juice (which, remember, Arkenpliers use none of in Wanda's case), there are no known restrictions on Thinkamancy. So: Wanda's restriction for the 'decrypt' function of Arkenpliers = number of croaked units present. stanley's restriction for the 'tame dwagon' function of the arkenhammer = number of dwagons present (importantly.. i'm not talking about the 'pop dwagon' function ).. charlie's restriction on the 'bonus to Thinkamancy' function of the arkendish = ? Might be distance, it's true, but thinkagrams don't depend on distance. stuff like suggestion spells may.. so i dunno. it's all a wash, of course. i just liked the way the 'arkendish uses money' theory hung together. i seem to be alone in that, which is cool. but at the very least there seems to be some insight to be gained from the way in which the arkentools are similar yet different.
i dunno. maybe i'm treating this too much like literary analysis.. where when we don't know something, we're never going to know it, because the book doesn't continue to write itself as it's being analyzed. i like these kinds of theories because they're fun to construct (and deconstruct), not because they're 'true'. *shrug*..

Jade Indica is absolutely fantastic in this update!!! She takes loads of punishment and abuse in front of rowdy bar patrons. She gets ass fingered and spit on by strangers, shocked with electro sticky pads, caned, ass fucked, flogged, gagged, and then used as a cum dumpster before being left on stage for anyone to play with. Fully nude and fucked in public, it doesn't get any better than this!

GLENDALE, ARIZ. — Seahawks wide receiver Sidney Rice entered Thursday night's game with 12 catches, a $41 million deal in his pocket and grumbling from outsiders about his play.
Rice excelled in a blowout against Jacksonville when he had five catches and two touchdowns. Outside of that, Rice has been ineffective. He's had three games with one catch each.
Heading toward the back right corner of the end zone midway through the first quarter, Rice found a bit of redemption.
Quarterback Russell Wilson made a throw of power and precision when he rolled right, drifted back then launched the ball toward Rice. The receiver ran under the pass into an unmanned patch of the end zone for a 31-yard touchdown grab that started a three-catch 50-yard performance.
Wilson threw the ball more than 40 yards in the air off his back foot and led Rice to the open area.
"It was basically a scramble drill," Rice said of his score. "I saw the defender run down behind me when he thought Russell (Wilson) was going to run. As soon as he ran, I just ran the opposite way and got right behind him in the void.
"Russell threw it up, a perfect ball. Touchdown."
Rice had knee surgery before the season and didn't play in the exhibition season. Last week, things became worse for Rice when he stretched the ball out for extra yardage and fumbled. That drew the ire of coach Pete Carroll and was one of four Seattle fumbles against the Tennessee Titans.
Thursday, he was part of an offense that completed passes to nine players.
"It's not focused on one receiver," Rice said. "We've got a great group of receivers that make plays whenever they are called upon. We're not going to complain about getting balls. As long as you're winning football games, nothing else should matter."
Rice looked in line for another big play when he zipped up the left sideline past Arizona rookie defensive back Tyrann Mathieu. Mathieu grabbed him, then later tripped Rice on the route once the seven-year veteran had blown past.
There was no flag and no completion.
"I was very surprised," Rice said of the lack of an interference call.
Cornerback Brandon Browner was benched in the second quarter last week after being burned over the top twice.
He started the second half and played well, but it was still a statement from Carroll to bench part of the "Legion of Boom," as the Seattle secondary calls itself.
Browner was on his game Thursday. He broke up a deep pass attempt to Arizona star wideout Larry Fitzgerald, which led to safety Earl Thomas coming up with his fourth interception of the season.
"I had a good feel out there tonight," Browner said.
He later had an interception of his own. Browner appeared to have a clear path to the end zone before he tripped and landed at the 1.
"I could have at least stuck the ball out or something," Browner said.
Browner will be fined $100 by his teammates for failing to score. He was also immediately teased on the sideline, where he could be seen laughing. It was a large turn of emotion for the normally serious Browner.
"As a competitor, you don't like to be pulled out of the game," Browner said. "We've got such a great team they pull me out and put in a guy like Walter (Thurmond), who is a hell of a cornerback. I play my part, everybody has a role on the team."
Still, it was a blow for someone who is one of the key parts of a secondary that claims to be the best in the league.
"When one of us hurt, I hurt," Thomas said. "I actually went up to him, he didn't want to it hear it probably, but I was like, man, if you need to talk, I'm here.
"He stepped up like a pro and was like, naw, I'm fine."
Wide receiver Golden Tate came out with a foot injury but re-entered the game. … Fullback Derrick Coleman left the game with a hamstring problem and did not return. … Offensive lineman James Carpenter left with a leg injury, but returned. … The Seahawks are hoping wide receiver Percy Harvin, who has been on injured reserve because of hip surgery in early August, can start practicing next week.

Dealing with Patents in Software Licenses
Many members of the Open Source community oppose software patents. Software patents, they say, hinder the advancement of software art, and as such, counter the beneficial effects of open and published source code. The risk of infringing a copyright is much less than the risk of infringing a patent. You can avoid infringing a copyright by employing good clean-room practices and writing your own independent version of copyrighted software. On the other hand, a software patent can stop you from making, using or selling the patented invention, even if you didn't copy the inventor's software. This means that you may not be able to avoid infringing a patent no matter how careful you are. Someone you never even heard of can inform you that he or she has a patent and, if you cannot invent around that patented invention, your open-source project may be stopped dead in its tracks.
Like them or not, however, software patents are a reality. Software patents have been blessed repeatedly by Congress and the courts, and by the laws of many other countries. Given this reality, it is important to understand the implications of patents for software licenses so that you can select a license that meets your philosophy and goals.
Consider, from the viewpoint of a licensee of open-source software, three kinds of patents: 1) patents owned by the software licensor, 2) patents owned by third parties and 3) patents owned by the licensee or by the licensee's downstream sublicensees.
Licensor patents: suppose you took a license for some open-source software and then discovered that the licensor has a patent on that software that was not included in the license grant. Without a license to that patent, you could not make, use or sell the software. Whenever I review a software license for a licensee, I make sure there is an express grant "under claims of patents now or hereafter owned or controlled by licensor, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, and/or otherwise dispose of licensed software or portions thereof." Many open-source licenses, including the BSD license, contain no such provision. In those cases, a patent license may be implied, but I don't recommend relying on an implied license. Wherever possible, make sure you have an explicit license to any necessary patents held by the licensor.
Third-party patents: a software licensor may not be aware of all patents that apply to its software. Some third party suddenly may announce that it owns a patent that covers some aspects of the software. As a licensee of infringing software, you may have to stop using the software despite the license. To deal with this situation, proprietary-software licenses often include an indemnity clause, by which the software licensor indemnifies its licensees against third-party patent claims, promising to refund license fees, provide non-infringing versions of the software or obtain licenses to third-party patents, if third-party patents come to light. But open-source licenses usually don't contain indemnity clauses because licensors of open-source software usually do not collect license fees sufficient to cover the potential costs of the indemnification. So, for most open-source software, the license is "as is" without any warranty of non-infringement. Open-source licensees beware! The risk of third-party patents is usually borne by the licensee.
Licensee patents: the issue of licensee patents is much more subtle than with licensor and third-party patents. Licensors often include so-called "patent retaliation" clauses in their licenses to prevent licensees from using patents offensively against the licensor. Because this issue evokes strong feelings that justify careful discussion, I'm saving that topic for its own column next month.
Whatever your philosophy about software patents, it is important to understand the ways that patents can affect software licenses. It is not enough just to say "I don't like software patents." Whether you out-license your software to others, or you in-license other's software for your own use, you should make sure that the license fairly expresses your own philosophy and goals relating to patents.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

HAVELOCK — Orange High challenged powerful, defending 3A champion Havelock for a half Friday, but were eventually worn down as the Rams ran away with the 42-7 Eastern Regional championship game.
The win puts Havelock back in the state title game Dec. 1 at Wake Forest in Winston-Salem.
The loss ended quite a run for the 11-3 Panthers, and coach Pat Moser hopes this group of players have set a new standard at the Hillsborough school.
"I'm just as proud of this team as I can be," Moser said. "I'd like to think we can be this good again, but it will take a lot of hard work, a lot of work in the weight room."
"But Havelock is the best team I've seen in 24 years of coaching," Moser said. "Just too much speed and I mean speed everywhere. The quarterback-running back combination was so fast. We were able to contain them for a while, but eventually they will get loose. That's got to be the state championship team. They are that good."
The Rams' speed begins with elusive quarterback/safety Pharoh Cooper, who has committed to South Carolina.
Cooper completed 11 of 18 passes for 260 yards. All 103 of his rushing yards came in the first half as his team built a 21-7 lead.
Cooper started the scoring with a 50-yard touchdown pass to C.J. Lindsey. But Orange, unlike the Rams' three previous playoff victims, refused to be intimidated.
Panther Jon Evans returned the kickoff 46 yards and quarterback Sean Motley fought his way into the end zone on a two-yard run for Orange's only touchdown.
"They were up there, as good as we've seen," said Motley, a three-year starter, of the Rams. "I just wish we could have won for all the people that were here for us."
Havelock put the game away with scores on its first two possessions of the second half, and led 35-7 going into the final period.
Derrell Scott, who rushed for 101 yards, had three touchdowns on runs of 10 and 9 yards. He also caught a 14-yard touchdown pass from Cooper.
"The defense was so fast," Moser said. "We tried to run traps, screens, tried to run right at them, everything you're supposed to do against speed, but nothing seemed to work really well. We pulled off a few good plays, but that was hard to do. That's a very good team offensively, very good defensively. Everything is sound on their team. I don't see them getting beat."

Southeast Whitfield High School's volleyball team picked up three wins at the Lumpkin County Invitational Saturday, improving the Lady Raiders' record to 4-3.
Southeast Whitfield beat Lumpkin County 25-14, 25-28, 15-9, Johnson-Gainesville 25-14, 21-25, 15-8, and Pickens 25-17, 25-7.
After starting the year with three losses in four matches, coach Bethany Kenemer saw a different attitude from her team Saturday.
"We've really worked hard on playing with intensity and playing as a team and really focused on after every play either saying to whoever messed up, 'Hey, we've got your back,' or celebrating after a point," Kenemer said. "Instead of letting the bad things compound and get us down, we've really tried focusing on the positive stuff."
Yasmeen Paloblanco finished with 24 digs and 11 aces throughout the three matches, while sophomore setter Angie Purkey had 61 assists.
Wendy Perez finished with a team-high 29 kills. Serena Ramsey added 17 kills, and Yolanda Melgarejo added 16 kills. Melisa Fraire added 10 aces and seven digs.
• Dalton (1-9) lost five matches at the Bradley Bash at Bradley Central in Cleveland, Tenn.
The Lady Cats lost four matches Saturday and one Friday. They fell to William Blount 25-16, 25-18, 25-20, Chattanooga Central 25-12, 25-11, 25-14, Bradley Central 25-5, 25-7, 25-10, and Bledsoe County 21-25, 25-21, 15-11, on Saturday. On Friday, Dalton lost to Macon County 25-15, 25-16, 25-16.
Ashleigh Peters finished with 48 kills for the weekend, while Alejandra Fraire added 30 kills. Lyndsey Parker had 94 assists, and Macie Noles added 56 digs.
Coach Joey Wills said the team has five varsity players out with either injuries or illness.
• North Murray was scheduled to compete in Rockmart's The Rock Invitational but did not report results or return phone messages by The Daily Citizen's deadline.
Cross country
• Dalton competed in the Pickens Preview race at Roper Park in Jasper.
The boys finished 13th out of 20 teams, and the girls finished 16th out of 19 squads. South Forsyth won the boys side, followed by Milton in second and Cherokee in third. Milton won the girls race, followed by South Forsyth in second and West Forsyth in third.
For Dalton's boys, Eduardo Loredo led the team with a 62nd-place finish in the 5K race and a time of 18 minutes, 57 seconds. The Cats' other top-five runners were Sergio Aguirre (73rd, 19:08), Brandon Pineda (80th, 19:17), Jose Boyzo (97th, 19:36) and Erik Villalobos (107th, 19:51).
For the Lady Cats, Ashley Parham finished 73rd in 23:45. Their other top-five finishers were: Beronica Hernandez (82nd, 24:07), Lisa Sanchez (110th, 25:26), Monica Vega (112th, 25:27) and Sabiola Torres (113th, 25:33).
North Murray also was scheduled to compete in the Pickens Preview but did not report results or return phone messages by The Daily Citizen's deadline.
• North Murray's softball team was scheduled to face Cartersville, and Southeast's softball team was scheduled to participate in the Buccaneer Bash at Allatoona in Acworth, but neither team reported results or returned phone messages by The Daily Citizen's deadline.

James Schlesinger has a great piece on global warming in today's WSJ:
- Almost unnoticed, the theology of global warming has in recent weeks suffered a number of setbacks. In referring to the theology of global warming, one is not focusing on evidence of the earth's warming in recent decades, particularly in the Arctic, but rather on the widespread insistence that such warming is primarily a consequence of man's activities -- and that, if only we collectively had the will, we could alter our behavior and stop the warming of the planet.
. . . .
The issue of climate change urgently needs to be brought down from the level of theology to what we actually know. It is, of course, quite likely that the greenhouse effect has to some extent contributed to global warming -- but we simply do not know to what extent. The insistence that global warming is primarily the consequence of human activity leaves scant room for variation in solar intensity or cyclical phenomena generally.
Over the ages, climate has varied. Generally speaking, the Northern Hemisphere has been warming since the end of the Little Ice Age in the 17th century. Most of the global warming observed in the 20th century occurred between 1900 and 1940, when the release of greenhouse gasses was far less than later in the century. Between 1940 and 1975, temperatures fell -- and scientists feared a lengthy period of global cooling. The reported rise in temperatures in recent decades has come rather suddenly -- probably too suddenly given the relatively slow rise of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
We must always bear in mind that the earth's atmosphere remains a highly complex thermodynamic machine. Given its complexities, we need to be modest in asserting what we know. Knowledge is more than speculation.
Read the whole thing. And if you've never seen the Crichton speech he refers to, check it out here.

Being a consumer, a white American consumer, in Tanzania can be perplexing and exhausting. You know that you pay more for absolutely everything, and you are fine with that. ... For a while, at least.
In the beginning, you try to outsmart the system by comparing prices. In this duka/shop the basket sells for 10,000 shillings and in that one it's 12,000. Here the necklace is $15 and there he'll sell it for $12.
But as you work your way through the narrow, overcrowded dirt pathways that separate the long rows of vendor stalls that are packed so tightly together in this Maasai marketplace, you can't think about comparative shopping. ... You can't think about anything. Sellers are in your face, calling at you, grabbing your hands and arms.
"Mama, come to my shop Mama. I have best prices.""No mama, come to my shop—I have better prices. Just look mama, just look."
You make an executive decision to only buy from the women, and you tell all the men who are gathered around in your rudimentary Swahili, "Ninapenda wanawake." "I like women."
It doesn't come out right, but soon enough they get the message when you push your way through their human barrier into the stalls of only the mamas.
In these tiny 4x6 stalls, things are different. The women don't shout, push or pester. Instead one mama blocks the tiny doorframe with her body to prevent intrusions.
And, for a moment, you feel kind of like you are shopping at home. You finger everything leisurely; you pick up carvings and examine the craftsmanship; you feel all the textures of the various items in your hands; you try on all the jewelry; and your wrap yourself in the colorful kangas.
"How do these look?" you ask the mama, holding up a pair of bright orange beaded earrings by your ears.
"Nzuri sana," she replies with a smile. "Very good."
Of course. What else is she going to say?As you gather together your pile of carvings, kangas, salad tongs, salt and pepper shakers, jewelry, baskets and more, you learn that this mama, whose name is Brightness, is a 24-year-old mother of four young children.
She quotes you a price that you know is too high, but you no longer care because now you are thinking of baby Junior, toddlers Marian and Alfred and 8-year-old Bayo. As you leave, you embrace your new friend and exchange blessings. "Mungu akubariki sana," you say, and step out into the light and the chaos of the market.
Here in Tanzania there is no set price for anything. What you pay is a reflection of who you are, how much you know, how much or little you are respected and—of course—what color is your skin.
Every time you are asked what you paid for this or that. ... From a taxi ride to a loaf of bread, you see heads shake. ... Tsk tsk tsk. You overpaid again.
As a mzungu mgeni—a white visitor—you feel like a walking ATM machine. Everyone wants to make a withdrawal, and no one seems shy about asking.
The first day you arrive you go to church with a Tanzanian friend. You are given the warmest of welcomes. Everyone has come out to sing and dance for you.
And when the collection basket comes around you happily give a large cash donation. You are a bit surprised the second time the basket comes around, but again you give without reservation.
By the third, fourth and fifth asks, you are bewildered—and broke. You are out of cash, and you are not even 24 hours into this trip.
The head priest then calls you forward. As you stand in front of the congregation looking out over hundreds of people your friend tells you that the priest is saying they need $1,500 to complete the half-built church you are standing in.
He wants you to give. Your heart begins to race. You panic, and then pause, and finally you say you will pledge $200 to the campaign. A few people cheer. Most, however, are clearly disappointed you haven't given more.
Over the course of two weeks you visit nearly 20 organizations. To each you and your team give or pledge hundreds of dollars. Some thousands. Many clearly want more, and one even goes so far to ask why your donation is so small.
At the end of the trip you find an Internet cafe on the side of the single paved road. It is clean and quiet. You sit down at one of the six laptops that are lined up on a single long table.
You are excited to check your email, connect with family and friends at home, and enjoy the hot coffee topped off with fresh milk and lots of sugar that was just delivered to you by the lone waitress.
In less than three minutes, a group of young boys enter. They must have spotted you from the road. They come with necklaces and bracelets. They crowd around and press their wares in your face.
You are tired of the games now, and frankly you are annoyed. But they, like so many others, are relentless and won't leave without a good fight, so you acquiesce. It's easier.
"Why aren't you boys in school?" you ask.
"Mama, buy my necklace. Only $10," says the oldest boy, ignoring the question.
"$10! No way. Ghali sana! That's too expensive."
"OK $9. We are hungry mama. Please mama. Help us. You must buy."
"First, tell me your names. How old are you boys?"
"My name is Michael and I have 15 years," says the oldest in rough English. You know he is lying. He barely looks 12.
"I am Joseph.13," says the next boy, who is slightly smaller than Michael and dressed in rags.
The littlest of the three is the most animated. Dressed in old tan shorts that are held up by a string belt, he is full of smiles. He looks up at me with his big brown eyes and flashes a wide grin. "Cheaper price."
"Yes," you say. "I know, I know. ... You have a better price for me than Michael."
"No," he smiles. "That is my name. My name is Mr. Cheaper Price."
"Your name is Mr Cheaper Price?" you ask incredulously.
"Yes, my name is Mr. Cheaper Price."
You smile, and proceed buy everything Mr Cheaper Price and his friends have to sell.

A Solon woman who aided the killer of Twinsburg Police officer Joshua Miktarian will be sentenced today for her role in the murder.
Bridget Robinson, 37, of Solon, and Danielle Roberson, 27, of Akron, will be sentenced this morning by Judge Daniel Gaul in Cuyahoga County Court of Common Please for their role in trying to help killer Ashford Thompson get away. Robinson is Thompson's sister and Roberson is his ex-girlfriend.
Robinson and Roberson both plead guilty in January to obstruction of justice, a felony.
Both women were arrested by the U.S. Marshall's Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force in May 2012.
Both women tried to help Thompson escape after he shot Miktarian during a traffic stop for loud music. The Plain Dealer reported that Roberson was in the car at the time of the shooting and removed the gun from the car. Robinson is accused of trying to free Thompson from his handcuffs after he fled the scene of the July 13, 2008 shooting.
Thompson was convicted and sentenced to death for shooting Miktarian in the head four times during a routine traffic stop.
Patch will cover the sentencing and report form the courthouse once the sentences are handed down.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Mitsubishi Outlander Navigation and Electronics
On the 2010s, the center stack is different for nav v. non-nav vehicles. I'm assuming the 2009 is similar.
All the buttons & the LED display in the regular center stack are replaced by the single movable touchscreen on nav-equipped cars (see pics 7 & 11 for nav & 13 for regular at http://www.mitsubishicars.com/MMNA/jsp/outlander/10/index.do#/?page=interior_gal- lery). While the RF stereo "core" would probably remain untouched (just the control panel being replaced), I would guess that the cost to replace the control unit, dash panels, etc. would be very high.
In this case I'd recommend a good portable GPS instead. Or use a smartphone that provides GPS services. If you use Sprint and have an Everything Data plan GPS services are at no extra charge.
ny_outlander Posts: 16Besides, the Mitsubishi NAV really sucks. The maps are outdated by 2 years even on a brand new purchase (a new 2010 Outlander has 2008 map data) and the thing can't navigate you to the corner store unless it's in a shopping center or you know the address.
Go smartphone, at least the maps are current and if you get an android, for instance, you can use voice to navigate.
annis_2006 Posts: 1My Outlander's navigation unit works okay for the most part, but when I try to input a destination it takes 5 minutes to load all the POI's. When it FINALLY does, it usually closes the screen and goes back to the map. It does this more often when I'm typing in the name of my POI, cutting me off halfway through. It takes about 4 or so tries to get it to actually work. This is incredibly frustrating due to the insane price I paid to get this package.
Does this happen with other Outlanders or is it just mine?
Is there a way to make it stop doing this? ANY thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
As for the head unit DVD player:
I have tried putting the key in every position with the car in every gear and it will NOT play DVDs. I can see a picture for a split second and hear the audio continuously. It accepts the DVD and gives me an error message essentially saying that it will not play DVDs when moving (regardless of the gear I'm in).
I can't remember what the message is exactly, but it's quite polite and is also very frustrating. Not sure if something got hooked something up wrong during installation (which would be weird because it looks like it's just a few wire harnesses), if it needs to be updated or just needs to be curb-stomped.
Any thoughts on this would also be much appreciated.
alfonzog Posts: 1I have an 07' Outlander with the Rockford Fosgate Nav/DVD system. Was playing laptop sound through the aux inputs at rear of arm rest. After unplugging laptop i get no sound from any speakers. Still turns on, navigation still works, just no sound at all. Not even the little beeps when making selections, and no voice prompts from bluetooth phone activation. Can anyone help?
I've got the navi and RF stereo with the HD in my GT. After just about 2 years & nearly 100 CDs ripped to it I've no complaints. It's worked fine in Chicagoland's hot summers & cold winters. Well, I've one complaint: That I can't copy MP3s directly from the USB port to the HD. It rips normal CDs only; if you have purchased MP3s you have to create an audio CD from them & then have the stereo rip it. As that's a minor hassle I've instead left purchased MP3s on a thumb drive I leave plugged in.
Anyway, for music storage Mitsu is one of very few automakers that gives you the option of internal storage on your stereo. Chrysler's MyGIG is another. Most automakers basically don't give the option and simply require the owner to provide their tunes via something that plugs into the USB port or streams over BlueTooth.
I don't know. It seems like a no brainer to me, to be able to store audio files on a hardrive to play from and rip to at will. Then there's no need for an external mp3 player. I'm curious to find out why its not a big hit especially since hardrives and high storage are so cheap. A terabyte is only $50 bux.
A few of points:
Hard drive prices aren't what they were two months ago. The Thailand flooding has seen to that. As a commodity item, hard drive prices fluctuate a lot and automakers like to keep costs as fixed as possible over a production run. Look at the price of a 1TB drive right now; the cheapest 1TB desktop drive right now at Newegg is $139.
3.5" desktop drives are inappropriate for automotive use. They are too large and aren't ruggedized to withstand the vibrations & temperature changes that come with automotive use. Example: Most desktop drives aren't designed to work below freezing. They can also throw off a lot of heat. Some 2.5" laptop are ok, but my guess is the automakers are using 1.8" drives which command a price premium over their larger brethren.
Adding recording capability raises complexity both in hardware & software; there's more stuff to design & more chances for something to break (or have bugs). So it costs more to build and has potentially higher costs due to warranty work.
Put all of that together & compare it to the cost of adding a USB port & letting the consumer supply the device. Support for MP3 decoding is a sunk cost as the codecs are already used for things like decompressing satellite radio signals.
tedmar2811 Posts: 1I have a Outlander 2010 without NAVI . I'm going to replace the factory installed AM / FM radio for the NAVI unit from eBay - cost about $ 300
Does that make sense, or buy more expensive unit for about $ 600? Is there a difference in the use of this devices, or maybe this operation will affect the warranty?
Does anyone have this have any previous experience?
Without knowing what model nav systems you're talking about it's hard to offer much advice. Are you talking about the OEM system - Mitsu's nav -- and one from a 2010 Outlander or a 3rd party nav/stereo?
Regarding warranty, if you replace the stereo you won't have a stereo warranty but that's it. The warranty for the rest of the car is unaffected. If you buy a 3rd party unit then the nav would be covered by whatever that manufacturer offers, if anything. FWIW if you had the dealer install a Mitsu unit it would come with at least a 1 year warranty (pretty much all parts installed by the dealer carry at least a 1-year warranty).
Note that the OEM nav shipped with map data from 2008 IIRC so if you're buying a Mitsu nav you might also want to order the $200 map upgrade from your local Mitsu dealer. I haven't upgraded my maps yet but probably will before the summer driving season starts.
If cost is a factor and you're satisfied with the stereo but just want a nav unit, you might be better off getting a nice Garmin or other brand portable GPS and just live without having nav integrated.
fastgst Posts: 46A dealer tell me they stock a bunch of the Navigation unit and it is same across the different cars like Lancer, Evo etc. The sales said they can put it into an outlander. I seriously doubt this will be done correctly, there is video input on the factory installed cars in the center console and I know you can get this part swapped out but I doubt they will know.
Now on the outlander factory system there is a backup camera which would require wiring through the hatch lid and drilling on the rear hatch.. That said on a premium package on the SE or called Touring package on the GT has rear camera already, but it appears on the mirror. So pretty sure this is a pre-requirement although I don't know how it will conflict with the special mirror with LCD on it.
The sales would tell me anything to close the deal but I think I am going to avoid this now, too bad it is rather difficult to find one with a Navigation. What are your thoughts on this?

Outside Scholarships
"HELP! I Need More Money for School!" -- How to Find Outside Scholarships
What is an "outside scholarship?"
An outside scholarship is an award that comes from an "outside" agency that is not affiliated with the University or federal and state governments. Outside agencies include businesses, nonprofit organizations, civic and professional associations, community organizations, and even professional sports teams.
Sounds great! How can I get one?
Unfortunately, since outside scholarships come from the "outside," they are largely the student's responsibility. It is up to you to find, research, and apply for outside scholarships. Luckily, we've been doing some research to help get you started. Click through the sections in the "Learn More" box on the left!

The recession-era funk that has afflicted the housing market, seems to be lifting, at least in Burnsville and Savage.
Year to date statistics from September show steady improvement.Year to Date Statistics Burnsville Savage Number of Listings 8.6 percent decline 9.3 percent decline Number of Closed Sales 8.2 percent increase (572 to 619) 6 percent increase (367 to 389) Median Price 10 percent increase ($150,000 to $165,000) 9.5 percent increase ($185,000 to $202,600) Days on Market
21.3 percent decrease (151 to 119) 33.6 percent decrease (148 to 98)
Burnsville and Savage are not market anomalies. Real estate is seeing a rebound across the 13-county Twin Cities metro area, according to a report issued by the Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS® on Oct. 12. One trend fueling market recovery is the waning of the foreclosure crisis that began in 2008. The influx of cheap foreclosure properties flooding the market has significantly diminished.
"One of the most encouraging changes in the market has been more traditional homes and fewer foreclosures," said Cari Linn, President of the Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS®. "There's finally some room to breathe for traditional sellers."
Just 30.6 percent of the new listings in September were foreclosure properties or short sales, the lowest percentage seen since June of 2008. As a result, the region saw more homes sold, a reduction in turnaround time, and higher prices. On average, sellers were able to get 94.8 percent of the list price, rather than taking a large loss.
Only one thing is missing: Seller confidence. Over the 13-county area, the number of homes offered for sale has been declining for 20 successive months. As of the September report, the number of homes on the market hit a nine-year low, dropping a whopping 29.4 percent to 15,996 properties.
The number of homes for sale has dropped for 20 consecutive months and is below 16,000 for the first time since December 2003. Months' supply of inventory fell 40.9 percent to 4.0 months. This indicates that the market is on the brink of favoring sellers. Figures below 4.0 months supply are moving toward a sellers' market.

The Union-Recorder
MILLEDGEVILLE — A native of the Harrisburg neighborhood on the south side of town, Cyndee Edwards is proud to finally see the outside community coming together to provide a safe place for area residents to convene, enjoy recreational activities and find freshly-grown foods.
The Milledgeville Community Garden Association (MCGA) applied for a Knight Community Foundation grant to go toward creating a community garden at the Collins P. Lee Center in the Harrisburg neighborhood. The project was awarded $13,350 in early June 2012 to help move the project idea forward.
"There are still people who grew up here and new people in the area who all want to do things and are still concerned about the neighborhood. It means a whole lot; and even though this is an old neighborhood, there's still new growth and the energy is still vibrant. It's good to see things happening that should've been done a long time ago," said Edwards, who also serves as the program manager at the county recreation department. "It also means the community and recreation department are collaborating together to make things happen. It's going to be a safe environment for kids to play and a place to learn from the classes offered. We have a ways to go, but it's looking good."
The project includes a plan to place a fruit orchard, pavilion and nearly a quarter of a mile-long edible walking trail around the maintained property, which was a former elementary school with the kitchen and cafeteria area currently remaining. The fenced community garden includes 22 raised garden beds, consuming a space of around 50 by 100 feet.
"This community actually asked to have this community garden here," said Haley Dillman, a Georgia College community health major who helped build raised beds at the center Monday. "The walking path will have berry bushes so you can get exercise as you're getting healthy foods. Milledgeville has an overall high rate in obesity and cardiovascular disease, but if this is successful here, this [project] could be an example to help fight some of these issues in this area."
The Collins P. Lee Center sits on property owned by the county and is managed by the local Parks and Recreation Department.
"[This project] is becoming a true community collaboration with assistance from various local businesses, the Baldwin County Commission as well as the Parks and Recreation Department," MCGA Board Member Debbie Harshbarger said. "In addition, Baldwin County Family Connection and the Milledgeville-Baldwin County Habitat for Humanity are focusing efforts in the Harrisburg area to further enhance this community."
Other local businesses and organizations have already jumped on board to help progress the project, including T&S Hardwoods, T-Bone's Nursery, Southside Equipment, Fowler Flemister Concrete, HorseDreams Youth Ranch, Milledgeville Country Club, Martin's IGA, Lockerly Arboretum, Birthflowers, Georgia Forestry Commission, Clark Brothers Plumbing and River of Life.
"We're going to put in about three frost-proof yard hydrants [Tuesday]. The county is assisting [the project] and helping out this community for no charge," said Joe Russell, maintenance supervisor for the Baldwin County Water and Sewer Department. "The Harrisburg community consists of over 500 houses, and there's a lot of kids in this neighborhood. I'm glad to see this happen."
The First United Methodist Church Men's Club donated $500 to the project and is encouraging other local churches and organizations to also give back.
"I think this is the way of the future in urban areas," said Jim Haskins, member of the Men's Club and project volunteer. "It provides education for kids, food on the table ... and so many different parts of what the community can do."
The fourth work day is scheduled Saturday with a mission to complete the construction of the garden beds.
"We're working hard to get the garden completed and have seeds planted for their summer garden, but it will take a couple of weeks to finish the entire garden. In mid-July, anything related to concrete will be done at that time, including the trail and the path to the pavilion. Then we will start construction of the pavilion after that," Harshbarger said. "We do have plans to build a community garden at Evergreen Baptist Church on Ivey Weaver Road after this project is complete. We hope to start in the late summer in time to plant a winter garden."
Harrisburg neighborhood resident Michael Hightower hopes to lead by example and instill the meaning of selfless service to his children.
"I went to sixth grade here when it was a school," he said after emptying a wheelbarrow full of soil Monday. "I want to show my children a good example by getting involved in something so positive."
For more information about the community project, to provide financial support or donations, call Harshbarger at 478-414-6433, or MCGA Board Member Gladys Ward at 478-453-2565.

Tourism week
I took a few days off this week to spend with my mom, my sister Kimberly, and Kimberly's boyfriend Charles. They came up from Louisiana on their "annual tour" to visit me in Knoxville and my sister in Marion, Va. They've been here enough times that we've done a lot of the outdoorsy things most visitors do, so this time, I had to find some new tricks. I always learn more about Knoxville when I have visitors and this visit proved helpful to future visitor plans.
They came in from their 12-hour haul late Saturday and we began our tour Sunday morning with brunch at Tomato Head. Market Square is an interesting slice of Knoxville life and the cinnamon rolls and coffee at the TH are sooo good.
Also while they were in town, we trekked out to Townsend and went to the Smoky Mountain Heritage Center and stopped in the Apple Valley store for mementos (and apple butter).
On Monday, we drove over to Asheville and toured the Biltmore Estate house and gardens. I've never been and I absolutely loved it! A bit pricey and it was very hot inside some of those long, cramped hallways, but I really enjoyed the trip. I'd love to go back and take some of the extra tours, like the "behind the scenes" tour or the rooftop tour. When we got back home, we had a fantastic steak dinner at Ye Olde Steak House.
We viewed Knoxville from the Sunsphere and perused Knoxville Museum of Art on Tuesday (free!). Then we went to McKay. There aren't many good used bookstores in my hometown --mostly just ones that sell paperbacks -- so McKay is always a must when my family comes in town.
I picked up three books at McKay -- The Constant Princess, by Phillipa Gregory; The Pillars of the Earth, by Ken Follett; and Mr. Darcy's Daughters, by Elizabeth Aston. I'm still knee-deep in Potterville, but the Deathly Hallows blows over, I'm going to dig into these new books.
I'm so glad you made it down to Market Square! Mike and I went to see Shakespeare in the Square on Thursday, and it was wonderful just to be down there soaking up some culture, doing something we don't normally do. Market Square is a great little eclectic place for all kinds. I'm saving my money for Biltmore. I can't wait to see it. I'm sure your family had a great Knoxville visit. What a great tour guide you are!
I'm so excited that you got the books I recommended! You'll like all of them...especially Pillars.
I am also immersed in Potterville. (Thanks for the gift cert. I pre-ordered and Russ picked it up while I was in Houston this weekend.) I started it last night and unfortunately can't sit and read it all day and night long. Motherhood really puts a cramp in my reading obsession.
I am waiting for the new Stephenie Meyer, Eclipse, coming out August 7th. Surely I'll be done with Potter by then and will be picking this one up immediately. I love the other two. I did stay up way too late one night to finish the first one.
Happy reading!
I love Market Square. I wish there were more places like that. All the shops and businesses opening into a pedestrian area with the parking out of sight. I love that. It's especially fun to watch all the kids playing in the fountains. I missed Shakespeare this year unfortunately. I always enjoy the Tennessee Stage Company performances.
As for Eclipse, I am waiting on pins and needles, too. I really love that series and find Bella to be a charming and down-to-earth heroine. If only she's shut up about Edward's eyes! I'm looking forward to digging into you suggestions, Rach. I've started The Constant Princess and I hope to write up a review up for the Paige Turner feature for August. Miss you!

New York man claimed in a lawsuit against the social network and Mark Zuckerberg that he had a 2003 contract that entitled him to a half ownership in the company.
Judge says there is clear evidence that the 2003 contract that Ceglia claims gives him half interest in the social network was a "recently created fabrication."

The man who claimed ownership of half of Facebook could face up to 40 years in prison.
Ceglia, a man who claims he should own half of Facebook, faces up to 40 years in prison for allegedly doctoring a contract and creating fake emails in his suit against CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

"This card was perfect for us who have a daughter that will be called by her nickname. We were able to highlight her nickname and then place her full name in the gray box. We have a hard time narrowing down picture options, so we even stuck one on the back as well. The paper and printing are top notch. We've received nothing but compliments from those who have received our announcement."
"I was looking for a birth announcement that would hold multiple images, and a design that would stand out in a crowd of pink and purple announcements. This fit my needs perfectly!! It was so easy to upload photos and experiment with different positioning. I was thrilled with the quality of the paper when it arrived (quickly too!)"
"Tiny prints provides excellent customer service. It is very easy to design your own product. This announcement came out perfect and was made of great quality!"
"We had these printed for my sons birth. They came out amazing and we got so many compliments on them! We were very impressed with the quality and timeliness of shipping!"
"Making this card was so easy. I didn't even need to alter the photos I had, they came out perfectly printed. The process was straightforward and quality is gorgeous! So happy with how these turned out compared to others I've seen from various people!"


text: So I got their self-titles CD back in the mid/late 90's on a recommendation from BMG CD Club. Liked the album, listened to it many times over the years, but for some reason assumed they were a one album band so I never heard anything else from them. Well I was in Best Buy looking at CD's the other day and I see a "new" album from them (actually from '07). I buy it and like it about as much as the first one I've had all these years. I then decide to Google them and come to find out they released about 6 albums. Thanks to amazon, I now own all but 2 of them and think they are all equally good. Give them a listen and see what you think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpUk4nBsFaE
