---- — Law-abiding citizen see the need for police to sometimes detain, question and even arrest, but the idea that authorities can possess an innocent person -- or even take a microscopic piece of one -- is not equally accepted.
Americans, says the Fourth Amendment, have a right to be "secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause."
The Supreme Court recently had to redefine warranted searches in an age when swabbed DNA can be planted in a database as a tracer for anywhere a body might spill something, for any reason, for the balance of a lifetime.
The Court upheld a Maryland law requiring people arrested for violent crimes to undergo a DNA swab. A similar law is now being considered in the Pennsylvania Senate.
Law and order enthusiasts naturally see opportunity here to solve cold cases that have had few leads for years or, maybe, right some situations where the justice system went wrong.
Others -- including four of the nine justices on the high court -- see it as a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment, which protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures, which they took to include their molecules.
The majority, represented by Justice Anthony Kennedy, focused on the "need for law enforcement officers … to identify the persons and possessions they must take into custody" as if DNA tracking was mainly to sort out who's who and who's where, the police equivalent of an organized sock drawer.
Justice Antonin Scalia wrote in the dissent that the Maryland law isn't to help law enforcement officials directly solve the crime being currently investigated, but rather the cold-case crimes. It is more like keeping you forever at the police station, in case you wander off the straight and narrow some decades hence.
Suspicion is not conviction. The innocent-until-proven-guilty people are not "secure in their persons" if a key element is being kept in an official file, whether that element is DNA spit or fingerprints.
Free and innocent citizens should be able to live lives below the radar against the possibility, remote as it may be, that someone in higher authority or the police themselves go rogue with their power and authority.
When you get right down to it, liberty is a little bit protected by a messy sock drawer.

Don't count Greenbrier East out just yet.
After a shocking loss to Point Pleasant last Friday, many were ready to write the Spartans off as pretenders, even after their 15-0 start to the season. But in front of a madhouse a week later at Spartan Gymnasium, Class AAA No. 5 Greenbrier East sent a message that it still belongs among the state's top teams with a 65-49 win over Class AA No. 1 Bluefield.
"We had four great days of practice," said Spartan head coach Jim Justice. "We played two mediocre games at Logan (against Tug Valley and Logan), two really mediocre games in the Big Atlantic Classic (the loss to Point Pleasant and a win over Musselman), and any good team continues to improve. We stalled, but we're past that now.
"Both teams competed their hardest, and it was what you think about when you think of the Hoosiers movie or something," continued the coach of the standing-room-only crowd that came to watch a pair of 1-loss teams do battle. "It was just perfect for high school basketball."
Bluefield (15-2), which came into Friday's clash on a 13-game winning streak since their only loss to Class AAA Princeton on Dec. 28, had plenty of confidence and most of the tools to match up with the Spartans — except for a 6-foot-9 center in the paint.
Greenbrier East (17-1) took advantage of a huge size advantage, outrebounding Bluefield 57-26 and getting a week's worth of second-chance shots. Obi Romeo, the Spartans junior center, nearly outrebounded the Beavers on his own. He had a double-double at halftime with 10 points and 13 boards, and, despite battling foul trouble in the second half, finished with 14 points, 22 rebounds and five blocked shots.
"They have tremendous height," said Bluefield head coach Buster Large. "They seemed to get every rebound. But we're still trying to get better, and we're going to be fine. We lost to a very good basketball team."
Romeo had plenty of help. Junior guard Rondale Watson took advantage of a Beaver defense that collapsed in the paint to try to slow down East's powerful center, knocking down a pair of third-quarter 3-pointers and then capping off a 13-0 Spartan run out of the locker room with a thunderous breakaway dunk that brought a packed house to its feet and gave East its biggest lead of the evening, 38-20.
"I told them at halftime, 'Obi's got 10 points and 13 rebounds, what do you think their defense is going to do? They're going to swarm to Obi,'" said Justice. "I told Rondale he had to shoot the 3, and boom, boom he hit two 3s, and the game was out or reach."
Watson's rim-shaking dunk also had another unintended consequence, drawing a technical foul when the official ruled that East's biggest star unnecessarily hung on the rim in celebration.
Watson — who finished with a game-best 26 points and 11 rebounds, attacking the rim on almost every position — had to go to the bench with his third foul.
Seconds later, Romeo was also whistled for his third, and with a little less than five minutes to go in the third quarter the Spartans had their three top scorers — point guard Bryce Woodliff, who finished with 14 points and six assists but also battled foul trouble, the other — sitting on the bench.
Bluefield took full advantage of seeing the Spartan reserves on the floor, turning up the pressure and forcing turnovers to hold East scoreless for more than 2 minutes.
An 18-point advantage was trimmed to 12, 38-26, before Justice pulled Watson and Woodliff off the bench and put them back into the game.
"It was really tough," admitted Woodliff of helplessly watching the lead evaporate. "But I had confidence in my teammates, and they held it for us."
Still, the Beavers didn't go away quietly, even with the Spartan stars back in the game. On the strength of Corey Coppola inside — the sophomore big man came off the bench to score 18 points and grab 13 rebounds — Bluefield continued to chip away and eventually pulled within four, 52-48 with 3:31 left in the game.
What hurt the Beavers all night, though, proved costly again down the stretch.
With a chance to make the Spartans really nervous in the closing minutes, Bluefield just couldn't get its shots to fall.
The visitors were forced to foul after a Watson driving layup put his team up 56-48 with 1:38 to play, and East hit its foul shots down the stretch to close out the victory.
"We've been working all week since that loss to do what we know we can do," said Watson. "Everybody has been working hard in practice, and we wanted to come out and show that. We came through as a team, and everybody did their job."
Bluefield, normally a good shooting team, shot just 26.7 percent from the field, including a 1-for-21 finish from 3-point range.
Anthony Eades, the Beavers' top scorer this season, finished with 15 points, but he was just 4-for-20 from the field and 1-for-8 from long range.
"We just didn't shoot it well tonight," said Large. "That's not like us. But their defense had something to do with it. They're a very good team and have a very good coach."
Greenbrier East will be back in action Tuesday when it hosts sectional rival Princeton in a critical contest when it comes to sectional seeding. The Spartans, Woodrow Wilson and Princeton are considered the top three teams in Region III, Section 2, and with a win at Beckley already under its belt, East could take a huge step toward locking up the top region seed by knocking off the Tigers.
Bluefield will host Class AA No. 9 Scott on Monday.

city, northern Iran, on the Babol River, about 15 miles (24 km) south of the Caspian Sea. Babol gained importance during the reign (1797-1834) of Fath 'Ali Shah, though 'Abbas I (died 1629) had laid out a pleasure garden and summer palace there. The city has paved streets, large and crowded bazaars, well-built houses, and small, handsome mosques and funeral towers.

Straus Creamery plans major expansion
Published: Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 2:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 2:35 p.m.
Dairy owner Albert Straus never dreamed 19 years ago when he took over the family business that he would be pitching a business plan that featured cows inside city limits.
"I'm not even sure how the zoning for that would work," he said on Friday as he walked through his office space on Industrial Avenue at the north end of Petaluma.
But that's exactly what Straus would like to see happen within the next few years. The longtime organic dairy farmer, who opened the first organic dairy in western America and the first organic creamery in the United States, is currently embarking on a major company expansion.
The project will involve combining his 20,000 square foot food processing site, which is currently located in Marshall, with his 25,000 square foot office space. Straus is also hoping to add retail shopping and possibly a live dairy demonstration of the entire process his milk goes through — all the way from the "cow to the cup," as he put it — into a 100,000 square foot location. This is where possibly keeping some cows within city limits comes in. He plans for it to be completed in two years. Straus hopes that he will be able to locate his new site in Petaluma, but admits that he may have to look at other cities if the cost of wastewater treatment is too high.
Straus Family Creamery, which opened in 1994, was the brainchild of Straus. His parents, Bill and Ellen, began a small family dairy farm in the early 1940s in Marshall, with just 23 cows. By the 1970s, family dairies in Northern California were on the decline as large-scale dairies began to take over the industry. During that time, Straus returned home after finishing his Bachelor's degree in Dairy Sciences at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. He took over management of the dairy with his father and realized that something had to change for his family's business to stay afloat.
At the time, the Straus dairy had already stopped using herbicides in an effort to protect the environment. Soon after, Straus began implementing no-till soil methods to prevent soil erosion and stopped using chemical fertilizers. He used food waste to feed cows and installed a manure wastewater pond system that turned solid waste into fertilizer and liquid waste into irrigation for pastures. Eventually, he converted the family farm into a completely organic operation called Straus Family Creamery.
"Organics was a natural progression for our business," Straus said. "We were always trying to preserve the agriculture and environment in Marin County. Then, with the conventional dairy industry being so (financially) bad, we made the shift to organics."
Today, Straus has more than 200 dairy cows on land in Marshall and also receives milk from about 7 other organic dairies. Straus Family Creamery's products are sold throughout the western United States. And Straus says he wants to expand his company to feature an educational component.
"It's important that people know where their food comes from, how to make it sustainable and what good land practices look like," said Straus. "Everything from the welfare of the animals to treating employees and each other with respect — it's all something that we would like to show the community through a demonstration dairy at our new site."
Straus said he sees a future demonstration dairy and combined facility as a place where students could learn about positive practices in agriculture. Currently, the company is a prime example of environmental friendliness, beating state and federal regulations for sustainability and clean practices. Approximately 94 percent of the creamery's wastewater is trucked to their dairy where it is reused in a methane digester that creates energy. After that, the water is used for irrigating pastures.
But as the business works to expand to meet growing demand for its products, Straus says he has been forced to look at several locations for expansion, from Rohnert Park to Novato, because of the high cost of hooking into Petaluma's wastewater treatment facility.
"Petaluma is really our preferred city, but we'd be looking at about $1 million in just initial wastewater costs alone," said Straus, adding that he is working with the city to find a solution to the massive expense. In fact, the city council made it a goal at its recent yearly goal setting session after hearing from Straus and other businesses who are having difficulties affording wastewater treatment in Petaluma.
Ever the innovator, Straus said that he has spoken with Cowgirl Creamery, another local organic creamery that is facing substantial city wastewater treatment costs, about joining together to create a processing hub.
"They have similar high costs involved with joining the city's wastewater plant, and have expressed an interest in working together at the processing level," said Straus.
At a recent city council meeting, Cowgirl Creamery owner Sue Conley submitted a letter stating that high wastewater treatment costs have forced her to look into other locations for her business.
In the meantime, Straus said he is pressing forward with vision for expansion. He is hoping to have a site secured within the next three to six months and hopes to open his new location in two years.
"Wherever we wind up, we're hoping to be in a community that supports a local and organic food system," Straus said. "We hope it can be here in town because this city has been wonderful."

Kentucky forward Anthony Davis (23) calls together his team during the second half of the NCAA Final Four tournament college basketball championship game Kansas, Monday, April 2, 2012, in New Orleans. (AP Photo/Mark Humphrey)
Kentucky's starting lineup of three freshmen and two sophomores did most everything together en route to the school's eighth national title. Now, they will each go their separate ways in the NBA.
Freshmen Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Marquis Teague, and sophomores Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb declared for the draft in a nationally televised news conference Tuesday night.
The group came into the season largely untested before ascending to No. 1, winning the Southeastern Conference in dominating fashion and capping an NCAA tournament run with a 67-59 victory over Kansas in the title game.
The five join seniors Darius Miller and Eloy Vargas leaving the program.
The departures mean only freshman Kyle Wiltjer remains from the rotation with a new class of highly touted recruits joining coach John Calipari next season.

I think Cuddle bug is adorable.. When I first took her out of the box, her complexion at first glance seemed more pastier and her lips were not as shiny.. However, the more i look at her and hold her, I really like her. Especially when she is laying down. I can definitely feel the difference in her weight from the non weighted dolls I have purchased fro Paradise. Overall I am not disappointed and I am pleased with the purchase.

I bought this doll for my daughter who has been collecting dolls now for a couple of years! She was perfect!! Her picture looks so much like her. She weighs around 2.5 pounds with the weighted body (which is made very well)! She is very high quality for a lower price! We have a couple of reborn babies that we have paid a very high amount for and she is just as good if not better than one of our reborns! Next purchase will be a baby Boy! We can not wait!! I do not think that anyone who purchases this lovely baby will be disappointed!

Hi, my name is Sarah Clark and I am 13 years old. After being slightly disappointed with your female panda twin, I decided why not give Paradise Galleries another chance. I was very satisfied, but disappointed about the false advertisement. Baby Cuddlebug's legs are only 3/4-1/2! Also, the lips are more purple and non-shiney, almost un-healthy looking. Her hair is very soft and easy to style. The clothing is well done, and I just adore the hat! She wears 0-3 or 3-6 month sleepers. I recommend 3-6months sized pants, and 0-3 or 3-6month tops/onesies. For hats I'd say 0-6months, same with shoes. Overall, very nice.

My daughter received this doll as a Christmas present. She is very life-like in appearance. She's a little heavy for my daughter, but for an older child or adult, she's perfect. Her hair is her only downfall. It gets a little...crazy looking. My daughter keeps a hat on her and she couldn't be happier.
Posted by danielleluv, 2/20/2012 3:12:41 PM

Well, I absolutley LOVE this doll. My mom bought it for my birthday. I am into reborns, but reborns ARE really expensive so I came on here, because a friend (also into reborns) recomended this sight. I looked, and looked until I found baby cuddel bug. My mom ordered her, and she came REALLY fast, and right in time, it was 1 day away from my birthday :). I still have her and I named her Abbigal. She is so adorabel. She feels like a real baby, and you will NEVER want to put her down. She is also REALLY realistic for a GREAT price. She wears newborn size OR 0 to 3 month size. Her wig was really rough, dry, and damaged though, also threads were hanging out of the wig...thats the only bad thing about the doll. So I just took the wig off which was really simpel, but left some glue spots, but she is still adorabel!

It's a sickness that could stick around for a couple of weeks. In this week's What's Going Around we're focusing on bronchitis.
We're checking in with nurse practitioner Shannon Burns of Blue Ridge Internal Medicine in Charlottesville.
Symptoms of bronchitis include cough with or without sputum and can last one to three weeks.
Burns says smokers tend to have more frequent, longer and more severe episodes.
When it comes to treatment, Burns suggests drinking plenty of fluids, getting lots of rest, and using over the counter Mucinex or cough suppressants.

If I really start thinking too much about how far or how close a show is, I can get a little anxious. Is this where I should be at this point? How many more cardios? How many more times must I endure the fish slime? Will I be happy with my result?
All these questions can just tie your head and your energy in a pretzel. The best thing I, or anyone pushing toward any goal, can do is to stay focused on making the most of each present moment and don't worry about the rest.
When you boil your goals down to a series of maximized moments rather than a long arduous journey, the whole experience seems much more simple, achievable AND a heck of a lot more enjoyable! These words by Corita Kent beautifully capture the spirit of being present-focused:
"Love the moment, and the energy of that moment will spread beyond all boundaries."
While I have competed in 20+ IFBB Pro Bikini shows, I still have to remind myself to stay present-focused rather than getting too caught up in what will be come March 2nd. This was especially true the first few weeks of my prep, as I had a bit of a slow start. The effort invested in my training and the strictness of my diet did not seem to pay off the first few weeks. The scale wouldn't budge and it was hard to discern any visible changes. I joked that my body was like my stubborn 2-year-old niece refusing to do what she's told. But, like my niece, my body eventually got tired of fighting and gave in.
During those first few weeks of very slow progress, I had to fight the urge to start worrying about what would happen if my body didn't cooperate. The best way to squash that unproductive thought process is to just work! As long as I am doing my part every day, I will get where I need to be.
All that said, I am really happy with my progress over the last few weeks and am thrilled to have the opportunity to step on stage at the Arnold Bikini International once again. It is a tremendous honor.
Now...I am off to do cardio and then enjoy a little of this gorgeous Florida weather.
Until next time, keep pushing toward your best!

Zimmerman Jury Deliberations Stretch into a Second Night
July 13th, 2013 | WMFE- The 6 jurors in George Zimmerman's second degree murder trial continued their deliberations into Saturday evening. Jurors were given their instructions Friday afternoon. They can also find Zimmerman guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter for killing unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin in Sanford last year.
Just before six on Saturday evening, jurors asked for clarification on manslaughter instructions.
A crowd of demonstrators gathered in front of the Seminole County Criminal Justice Center throughout the day.
Many of them carried home made signs in support of Trayvon Martin.
Big Mama Joseph traveled from Volusia County with her family to wait for the verdict.
"Everybody's here to support George or Trayvon," she said.
"There's a lot of mothers here, there's a lot of grandparents here, there's a lot of future generations here. Everybody just wants a sense of.... can't we all just live in peace?"
Sanford resident Raymond Coleman was watching the demonstrators with his three teenager children.
Coleman said he was following the case out of a sense of sympathy for Martin's parents.
"Me having children, I would hate for one of my sons want to go to the store and worry about them coming home," he said.
"That's the message I don't want to get lost is that, you know, there's a 17 year old child that's dead."
William Emola carried a handwritten sign with the words "Free George".
Emola had traveled up to Sanford from Orlandowith two friends for the verdict, to show support for Zimmerman. He said he had questions about Florida's so-called 'Stand Your Ground' law.
"If this doesn't work, they better do something, because this is going to keep happening."

Volleyball Wins 7th Straight Match
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., - The FGCU volleyball team swept the University of North Florida 3-0 (30-23, 30-18, 30-23) for their 22nd win of the season. Despite being A-Sun rivals, the match was not a conference match. UNF falls to 4-23 on the season.
FGCU took an early 2-0 lead, and UNF followed with four straight of their own. The two teams exchanged points until the score was even at 12. FGCU went on a 4-1 run of their own to take a 16-13 lead in the opening game. A 5-0 run behind a pair of aces from Ana Kokanovic helped the Eagles open a 26-17 lead. The Eagles would hang on for a 30-23 win in the opener.
The Eagles opened up an early 3-1 lead and never looked back in game two. A pair of 5-0 runs and a 4-0 run helped FGCU cruise to a 30-18 win in game two.
The Eagles took an early led and went on a 6-0 run to take a 9-3 lead. FGCU was able to up their lead to 23-15 before UNF scored five of the next six to cut FGCU's lead to 24-20. The Eagles were able to hold off the Ospreys and take the third game 30-23 for the 3-0 sweep.
Maegan Weisert led all players with a game-high 16 kills in the match. Clair Yountas added seven kills for the Ospreys.
Brooke Youngquist paced the Eagles with 12 kills while hitting .393 and picking up 14 digs. Ana Kokanovic hit .500 with 10 kills and seven digs. Roberta Santos picked up nine kills, 21 assists, five digs and three blocks.
The Eagles will face Jacksonville tomorrow afternoon in their final A-Sun match of the season. The Eagles have already clinched a share of the A-Sun Championship and can win the title out-right in their first year with a win over the Dolphins. The Eagles and Dolphins square off at 5:00 pm.

CHAPEL HILL — Roy Williams walked into the North Carolina locker room after one of the most stunning defeats of his tenure and he apologized. He told his players he was sorry.
He felt he hadnt prepared them well enough for their final possession in the final seconds of a shocking 83-80 defeat against Belmont, which trailed by eight points with about 21/2minutes to play before completing a dramatic comeback with five points in the final 14 seconds.
I apologized to them, Williams said. I told them it was my fault. And (I) said we did make some mistakes. You need to get shots, you need to not get turnovers down the stretch. You need to make free throws down the stretch.
The players heard Williams apology but not all found it necessary. Many blamed themselves. Sophomore guard Marcus Paige said it was his fault. Three of his five turnovers came in the final two minutes. Sophomore forward J.P. Tokoto said it was his fault. He missed 12 of his 16 free throws.
Perhaps sophomore forward Brice Johnson best summarized the players reaction to Williams apology.
Its not his fault, said Johnson, who scored 10 of his 14 points in the second half. Its our fault. We didnt play. We didnt play in the first half. We could have done a lot better in the first half.
And we could have knocked down some free throws, (and) it would have really changed the game.
By the time the final buzzer sounded and a crowd of more than 15,000 sat in silence except for a small contingent of Belmont supporters who celebrated one of the greatest victories in school history there was plenty of blame to go around. In a game with no shortage of mistakes, UNC made two critical ones in the final 15 seconds.
First, the Tar Heels allowed Belmont senior guard J.J. Mann an open 3-pointer near the top of the key. Mann, who finished with a game-high 28 points, made the shot with 14 seconds to play, and it gave the Bruins an 81-80 lead.
It wasnt even necessarily a screen, Paige said of Manns shot, which he released over Tokoto. Just towards the end, we had been switching everything. Thats what got us back in the game.
And then they started going to these little dribble hand-offs, which were a little harder to switch, because you dont know if your guy is going to fake the handoff or not.
After Manns shot went in, Williams elected not to call a timeout. That has been his long-standing philosophy in those kinds of circumstances trailing by a point with more than 7 seconds to play. Williams hoped UNC could execute a play before Belmont had set its defense.
Instead, though, the Tar Heels appeared to panic. Johnson wanted to call a timeout. Paige, meanwhile, wanted to push the pace. He said there was confusion. The possession ended when Tokoto rushed an off-balance shot near the baseline.
We havent really worked on that very much, said Paige, referring to UNCs limited practice of similar end-of-game situations. It was kind of new, and in the heat of the moment you kind of forget things like that.
After Tokotos miss, Belmonts Caleb Chowbay made a breakaway layup just before time expired. And then it was over UNCs second nonconference home loss in Williams tenure, and its first since losing against Illinois here in 2006.
In defeat, the final 15 seconds became magnified for UNC. The Tar Heels, though, made it difficult on themselves nearly from the start. They trailed by seven points at halftime and by as many as 11 points in the second half before holding the Bruins scoreless for about six minutes.
UNC during that stretch outscored Belmont 14-0, which was part of a greater 22-5 run that gave the Tar Heels a 73-65 lead with less than four minutes to play. Still, though, the Tar Heels continued to miss free throws at an alarming rate. They went 9-for-28 from the line in the first half, and finished 22-for-48 (48.5 percent).
It was definitely a snowball effect, just seeing them clunk out, or missing them all the way left, Tokoto said. That should never happen. It was all mental for me.
Tokoto wasnt the only offender. Junior forward James Michael McAdoo, who led UNC with 27 points, made 11 of his 19 free throws. Johnson was 2-for-5. Williams said that in recent practices, his players each shot 200 free throws and that everyone made more than 70 percent.
The last time we did that, James Michael was 81 percent, J.P. was 84 percent, Williams said. But it didnt go in for us today. It was a big part of the game, theres no question. But I still let my team down in the end.
The Tar Heels for the third consecutive game played without P.J. Hairston and Leslie McDonald, the teams most experienced guards. Both are sitting out amid NCAA eligibility concerns. Without their two most proven perimeter shooters, UNC made just two 3-pointers Sunday, while Belmont made 15 of its 37 3-point attempts.
The last of those came from Mann, who scored 11 of his teams final 13 points, and whose final shot completed a comeback that left the Tar Heels with enough blame to go around.
J.P. Tokoto, the sophomore forward who missed 12 of his 16 free-throw attempts on Sunday night, spent time shooting free throws in an empty Smith Center in the hours after the game. Tokoto attributed his free throws woes to a mechanical issue a failure to keep his elbow in during his release and a loss of confidence. Thats pretty much all it was, he said. Was mental for me.
The Tar Heels generated just two fast break points, and those didnt come until late in the second half on a Brice Johnson breakaway dunk. Creating scoring opportunities in transition and on the break is one of the tenets of Roy Williams system, but Belmont limited UNCs chances. They did a good job of sending guys back, UNC guard Marcus Paige said. Every opportunity we had to fast break, they already had three guys back.
UNC struggled throughout the first half to switch on screens, which left Belmonts shooters open on the perimeter. The Bruins finished with 15 3-pointers. The Tar Heels, though, were at their defensive best in the second half when they effectively switched on screens. That played a large role in UNCs second-half comeback, when the Tar Heels went from trailing by 11 points to leading by eight. Later in the game, Belmont adjusted and executed more dribble hand-offs on the perimeter. More often than not, that led to open shots, including the go-ahead 3-pointer that J.J. Mann made with 14 seconds to play.
Its clear UNC coach Roy Williams is still searching for his best lineup and substitution pattern with his short-handed team. The rotation likely would be more fluid with P.J. Hairston and Leslie McDonald, both of whom are sitting out due to eligibility concerns. Said Williams: Were struggling a little bit now, trying to find the right lineup at the right time. Williams would prefer to use a larger lineup without Hairston and McDonald, but Belmont made it difficult for UNC because of its preference to spread the floor with smaller players.

"These are exactly what the name says: dessert nachos. It sounds a little strange, but they are creamy, crunchy, chocolaty, and sweet. The slight saltiness of the nachos goes perfectly with the sweet chocolate and salty-sweet peanut butter."

Use tostito scoops put three Reese's chips, three chocolate chips, coconut then two or three mini marshmellows. Excellent and not a mess :)
So, the girls and I had a night in dinner, using this as our dessert. Using the broiler (as directed) we ended up with an oven fire within 1 minute of having it in the oven. Literally, flames shooting everywhere!! I will never do this again. Thankfully we got the fire out without calling the fire department!
Oh I don't know what others thought but this was fun. My kids ate the entire plate. I toasted the sweetened coconut, chopped up dry roasted peanuts, added 1/3 cup more peanut butter and my kids literally killed the plate.....I actually tried it myself and even though I had extra chocolate and peanut butter sauce, I could have made a 2nd batch. We enjoyed this fun little experiment of a recipe....they were hyped up on a sugar rush at bedtime......hahaha Thanks. Will be a movie time treat for them. Kudos.

Enough with the concerns. Ryan is a fabulous pick and ensures that we'll have a ticket that will take the fight to Obama
Liberals and the MSM are saying (gushing in some places) that they are so happy with Romney's pick and how they will be able to sway seniors their way. The Mediscare and Ryan budget attacks will be vicious and full of baloney. Florida will be so much more difficult for Romney to win now. The Romney campaign had a bad month in July. Romney made this pick because the race was beginning to slip. Friends, don't let your hearts grow faint:
Polling Absurdity
In the most recent polls, save Rasmussen, there has been absolutely silly presumptions on what the turnout of the electorate is going to be. To suggest that the turnout is going to be the same as what we saw in 2008 (7 point advantage in Party ID for Democrats) or better this time around for Barack Obama is crazy. The most recent polling shows this, as much as having a 19 point advantage for Democrats from a Pew National Research poll. Another point is many of these polls are of registered or "adult" voters, not likely voters which should be used since it indicates levels of enthusiasm for each side. Rasmussen is predicting an even turnout on both sides, something like what we saw in 2004. This is realistic but Democrats aren't as enthusiastic this time around as they were in 2004 and another problem is white, blue collar Democrats have been very much put off by what President Obama has done with his time in office. That is a big problem in the Rust Belt states. Romney has held a steady 3 point lead on average in this poll. I defer the more intricate explanations to Neil Stevens as he is far better qualified to break the polls down than I am.
Romney/Ryan will take away Medicare for seniors
Obamacare did that when it was passed, cutting out a large chunk for seniors, to the tune of $716 billion. I am very much looking forward to seeing Ryan articulate this on the campaign trail and in press interviews in the next couple of months. Another thing, think selecting Paul Ryan will be a political liability for Mitt Romney in Florida? Think again:
For even more counterintuitive results, look at Ryan's standing among seniors. Despite the attacks on Ryan over his budget plan, he's easily the most liked of the short-listers among likely voters 65 years of age and over, with a 52/29 favorability rating. His "very favorable" rating of 31% in the 65+ group is more than 10 points better than the other shortlisters in the Rasmussen survey (again, save Rice).
What happens when Ryan's plan is explained to the voters? Via the Weekly Standard:
A late-July Democracy Corps poll of likely voters in Republican-held battleground districts tested support for the Ryan plan. Voters were read a description of the plan – "what Republicans in Congress are saying about their budget" – and then asked whether they favored or opposed this budget plan.
"Our plan saves the country from a future of spending and debt by cutting an additional $5.3 trillion over the next ten years, bringing federal spending down the historic level of 20 percent as a share of the economy, and bringing deficits down by 2015. Our plan fixes the broken tax code by making it simple, fair and competitive, and eliminates special interest loopholes while lowering everyone's rates to promote growth. Our plan repeals the Obama administration's health care reform law and the Wall Street reform law, which cause uncertainty for job-creating businesses. Our plans strengthens Medicaid over the next decade by providing states greater flexibility to determine what is best for the people who live in their communities. Our plan will save Medicare for future generation by making smart reforms, giving future seniors the choice to purchase private plans or traditional Medicare."
The results? Voters supported the plan 52-37.
If Ryan's plan is getting this kind of result from a Democratic Party polling organization headed by James Carville, that should tell you something. Of course we can talk about how the Democratic Party has not passed a budget in three years, no Democratic congressman voted for a budget proposed by President Obama, and how President Obama didn't listen to the budget recommendations advocated by the Bowles/Simpson commission he gave his blessing to at the beginning.
The Romney campaign is screwing up
Contrary to some people's opinions, Romney has run a stellar campaign. He can't help it if Eric Fehrnstrom and Andrea Saul have had some braindead moments…well, maybe he could. There is no such thing as the perfect campaign. Considering Mitt has outraised Obama for the last two months, Obama has blown a huge wad on attack ads that have yielded little if any positive movement, and has selected the standard bearer for the GOP on fiscal policy as his running mate, you cannot but help to feel very good about Romney's prospects. Just wait until he unleashes his massive fundraising war chest in the swing states in ads and on the ground. Offering a positive vision while launching "Newt"onian attacks on Obama will be a lot of fun. Considering how thin-skinned Obama and liberals are, I'm looking forward to their reaction when the Kraken is unleashed.
The End Result: The Obama campaign is left on the street corner, empty, with nothing but a record they can't defend
No matter how outrageous and false the charges from the Obama campaign, they are calculated and serve two purposes:
- To distract keep the American public's eye from scrutinizing Obama's record and what he has done while he has been in office.
- To get the Romney campaign to defend themselves from these ludicrous attacks and distract Romney's message to the American people.
So long as Romney and Ryan stay focused on substance, articulating what their jobs/economic vision is and occasionally highlighting Obama's failures and scandals like Fast and Furious and Solyndra to name a couple, it is Mitt Romney's race to lose. Kudos to Mitt for making this a completely Midwest ticket because that is where the race will be decided for the Presidency.
Full steam ahead.

Blackness Falls
I have got another book for you and if you would like to finish Long Lost Souls Email me here and i will post the rest of the book along with Blackness Falls. I think that you will love the seqeul to Long Lost Souls. I'm sorry that it's taking so long and everything, but i can't rush my creativity it's not easy writing when you have so many distractions and people have you do other things. This was an exsiting journy and everything, but i think that afer the third book i'm finished with writing all together... not sure yet though. It will be about six more months, but if you are patient you will be rewarded with a good book. The book Blackness falls is about Alex (Amy), Jordan, Mikkel, Nikkol, and Lilly who find themselves in a prison. It takes a while, but they get a Lawyer who is bad ass(Alexandra) and she gets them out within twelve hours. Now they have to battle not only Thanatos, but the entire police force as well. Alexandra falls in love with Alex (Who likes Jordan) and they have a relationship that actually works though there were some complications with the relationship at first.

All I want for Christmas: Six readers reveal their wishlists
Sponsored By:
on Dec 20, 2013 at 12:51
With the festive season almost upon us, we asked leading wealth managers what they want to find in their stocking on the big day.
Darren Ruane, head of fixed interest, Investec
'All I want for Christmas is for bond markets to normalise. I have enjoyed the supernormal returns achieved in bond markets since I joined them in the mid-1990s and fear that the next year or two could (again) see negative or low returns at best.
'A quick normalisation of 10-year UK government bond yields to, say, 3.5-4% could at last see me turn up to client meetings and speak positively about my asset class for the first time in quite a while.
'Alternatively, a ticket on Virgin Galactic's journey into space is a good second best.'
Alex Boyle, senior investment manager, Hawksmoor
'All I want for Christmas is an investment strategy for 2014 which is deep and crisp and even, and to see my three ships come sailing in, namely, HMS Global Equity Income, HMS UK Equities and HMS Absolute Return.
'In my stocking, I would like one of those novelty black swan detectors (even though I don't believe they exist) and a crossbow (just in case they do).'
Ben Seager Scott, Bestinvest
'All I want for Christmas is world peace.
'Sadly I fear this one is a long/short, but when I look over the investment landscape, political risk is back at the fore, whether in the US over the budget and debt ceiling, China over the reform agenda, Europe over the future of the eurozone or a dozen other places. Confidence over politics is an important factor for markets, so perhaps these politicians sharing a glass of sherry – or a kiss under the mistletoe – over the Christmas period could smooth the way for a more benign 2014.'
Chris Bell, senior investment manager, Capital International
'UK small caps three years ago (in a leveraged ETF), fewer grey hairs, a Bitcoin in my Christmas pudding, a model portfolio for every global inhabitant and a chance to spend the day with Richard Branson.
'Plus Leicester City to make the Premiership in 2014, gold to glitter, a less stressed nation, some spare cash to go heli-skiing, another calm year for clients and, most importantly, avoiding spreadsheets.'
Glenn Meyer, head of managed funds, RC Brown
'Before replying I had an epiphany (but it's okay, it's cleared up now) and this year I'd like to ask for some very simple things. These three old chestnuts: peace and goodwill to all mankind, a large pinch of salt to be taken when reading economists' forecasts and a collection of baskets to keep the well diversified assets from my clients' portfolios in.'
John Henderson, investment director, Rathbones
'My mother asked exactly this question and I replied a Ferrari and a Caribbean Island. I mean, I don't think that is too much to ask for. She asked why, and to be honest because they were the most decadent extravagant symbols of excess that I could imagine. Having them would symbolise grotesque wealth and a desire to escape reality.
'It would also suggest that austerity was over, the FTSE is at 20,000-plus, UK politics would be irrelevant, and the sun would always shine. Sadly, as my mother pointed out, I am liable to be disappointed on Christmas Day.'

Where's the tranny temp read from on a 4L60E?
I need to know where on the 4L60E the tranny temp is read ... and how it's fed to the gauge in the gauge cluster. I'm a bit tranny-stupid (but am learning) ... so pics or diagrams would be very, very helpful.
Some background:
In my quest to get tranny temp info for my vehicle (in OEM fashion ... i.e. without plugging something into the computer to get it) I did some reasearch, learned that the 04 GMC Sierra 1500 is supposedly pre-wired for a tranny temp gauge, and also learned that it should be as simple as soldering a stepper motor into the gauge cluster.
So, I get a stepper motor, solder it in using a guide I found on the internet, but can't get a temp reading. (A friend checked out the solder work I did and said it looks good.) Further research shows that in some cases a dealership might have to tell the cluster (or computer) a tranny gauge is present. So, I go to a dealership and the dealership gives me all sorts of excuses why they can't -- first they can't because they didn't put the stepper motor in. I tell them fine, take it out and put one in. Without doing so, next they say that even if they do that because the truck didn't come with a gauge they can't tell the truck one is present .. something about lack of calibrations ... and that I'll hav to call GMC customer service, get calibrations added to my VIN, and only then can they tell the truck one is present.
Fine, I called GMC customer service and I have a ticket open with them. But in the mean time I'm thinking this sounds totally ridiculous and is, perhaps, a simple problem that might be solved elsewhere ... i.e. wherever the temp is normally read from within the tranny.
So that begs the question ... where on the 4L60E is the tranny temp read. Presumably it's a sensor, somewhere ... that presumably plugs into the OEM harness. Could this be as simple as the sensor being absent? Or perhaps the sensor not being plugged into the harness???

Sorry, I can not help on yours as I am new and I'm looking for the same for my 1997 k1500 yukon. Want to keep an eye on the trans while towing.
Any updates from GMC customer service on this one @SurrealOne? I am interested in doing this to my truck but was letting you be the guinea pig. I have the stepper motor already, I was wondering what you discovered.

Over the past five-plus decades, Vista Fleet has entertained some six million passengers from all around the world. Today, the family-owned company sets sail on a pair of luxurious vessels: the Vista Star and the Vista Queen. After their early-morning Pilates classes, the two ships carry passengers across Lake Superior during sightseeing tours, dinner parties, and twilight cruises. All the while, Vista Fleet's staff members liven up the journeys with a mix of entertaining facts and games.

When the 26-mile railway known as the Lakefront Line opened in 1886, the views were wasted on pieces of fresh-cut timber, which don't have eyes, and hunks of iron ore, which tend to prefer boats. But it wasn't long before the engines began carrying more than the fruits of Minnesota's lumber and mining industries. By 1887, the railway began passenger service, which became an essential component of Duluth and Two Harbors transit before the advent of paved roadways and reliable cars. More than a century later, the North Shore Scenic Railroad runs that same path, offering residents and tourists alike a taste of old-fashioned transportation and unspoiled natural splendor. Riders travel along the tracks in vintage train cars during daily tours held throughout the spring, summer and fall, as well as special excursions such as elegant dinner train trips and the annual fall beer tasting train.
Garrett and Heather love standup paddleboarding so much that it's not unusual to see them paddling past ice floes. Because of this love, the North Shore SUP instructors seek to draw a broad range others to the sport as well with a variety of paddleboarding classes. Beginners can opt for intro-level instruction, and adventurous types can try standup-paddleboard yoga. Paddle with Your Kids sessions give parents and children more pleasant quality time outdoors than rewriting favorite bedtime stories into fallen snow. Those interested in rentals can take regular or inflatable boards by the hour or day and can ask Garrett and Heather about the best local standup-paddleboarding spots.
