VALLEJO (BCN) – A former death row inmate who said he killed his own mother turned himself in to Vallejo police Wednesday, police said.
The man, identified as 70-year-old Dennis Stanworth, called police at 11:55 a.m. to report the death.
Officers responded to his home in the 2500 block of Marshfield Road. Police said that once there, Stanworth brought them to the woman's body.
The woman's identity has not been confirmed, but police believe she was Nellie Turner Stanworth, 89, the suspect's mother.
Stanworth was booked into Solano County Jail on suspicion of murder.
Police said he pleaded guilty in 1966 to kidnapping, sexually assaulting and killing two teenage girls in Pinole.
He was sentenced to death, but later his sentence was reversed and he was given a life sentence. He was then paroled and registered with Valljeo police as a sex offender.

The Harley-Davidson VRSC V-Rod Muscle is a Classic Sport motorcycle. As always Harley-Davidson has created another American made machine that is as powerful as it is gorgeous. Harley-Davidson has yet produced another meaty powerhouse to add to its reputation. The addition of all the ground breaking technological improvements along with the eye-catching state of the art features has heads turning. Style, comfort, technology, and convenience are perfectly married in the VRSC V-Rod Muscle.
Time and effort has been used to give this a very comfortable ride no matter the distance. There wasn't any sacrifice in comfort while maintaining the impressive quality in look for this two-seat driver and passenger motorcycle. Harley-Davidson has not only strived but succeeded in giving this seat a unique look and impeccable comfort. In marrying style and comfort with technology and convenience a three-in-one gauge has been built into and internally wired to the handle bars. Yellow, orange, and red lighting making it easy to read and maintain the custom look. A new exhaust has been added for performance and look. This bike has a dual exhaust system where each of these meaty mufflers turn-out and reaches past the rear axle adding to the fierce style of the VRSC V-Rod Muscle. A 240 mm rear tire has been added to improve not only the performance but the look of this muscle machine. The fat treads add grip and quick take off without having you sitting there spinning your tires. LED turn signals have been added into the mirrors and LED lights and signals have been added to the rear fender. The new turn signals have impressive technology. After engaging the turn signal the speed, angle and turning lean is all calculated to automatically rest the turn signal. No need to remember turning it off or accidentally forget of doing so.
Now for the performance power of this artwork on wheels. The Harley-Davidson VRSC V-Rod Muscle motorcycle is an impressive 1250cc, four-stroke, dual overhead camshaft (DOHC), V-Twin engine with fuel injection. This engine has four valves per cylinder and has 88 lb-ft of torque at 6500 revolutions per minute (RPM). The engine has been finished in platinum and the cylinder heads have been polished. Just when you think it can't get any better it also has been equip with the ""slipper"" (slip and assist) clutch that provides less slippage, reduced friction, and provides smoother downshifting giving increased rear control of your motorcycle. To further improve the stability and sturdiness of the motorcycle Harley-Davidson used a technology called hydro-forming to make the bike's frame. This process adds more angles to the frame while decreasing the amount of welds made. This improvement gives more rigidity to the frame. There is nothing prettier than when style meets power excellence, the 2012 Harley-Davidson VRSC V-Rod Muscle motorcycle is like a muscle car on two wheels and looks amazing.

Howard Fuller is one of the few politically bilingual people among us.
Fuller was a legendary community organizer, who gave many North Carolina black leaders their start and counts Malcolm X among his chief influences. Conservatives once tried to run Fuller out of the state.
He is also among the nation's leading advocates for vouchers to allow low-income families to send their children to private schools. That cause led to a friendship with the Walton family of Walmart fame, placed him on President George W. Bush's education advisory committee, and last week had him standing in front of the North Carolina Legislative Building with Senate leader Phil Berger and House Speaker Thom Tillis.
Fuller, 73, calls it the "interest convergence theory," in that you choose your allies based on your interests. So he joins with conservative Republicans on certain issues, such as school vouchers for underprivileged children, but not other issues.
Community organizer
Fuller, a Milwaukee resident and professor at Marquette University, spent a decade in North Carolina. Hired by an anti-poverty program in 1965, he was an aggressive organizer, helping give voice to mothers in Durham housing projects, Duke University students seeking a black studies program, Carolina students supporting a cafeteria workers' strike and hospital workers wanting to organize in Durham. He became a leading target for conservatives such as Jesse Helms and Jim Gardner, who branded him a radical.
At one point, Fuller's politics did become radical, and he traveled to Africa to help in the African liberation movement and got caught between Portuguese soldiers and guerrillas fighting for the independence of Mozambique. An autobiography of his life is due out this summer.
Reforming public schools
Fuller returned home to Milwaukee where he eventually rose to become superintendent of public schools in 1991. But Fuller was frustrated with his effort to reform the public schools, particularly to help children from poor or working class neighborhoods.
He became a vocal proponent of charter schools and voucher programs. When he left his job as superintendent, Fuller founded the Institute for the Transformation of Learning at Marquette University. In 2000, he formed a nonprofit called the Black Alliance for Education Options, which has chapters across the country fighting for parental choice.
Last week, he was in Raleigh for Parents for Educational Freedom in North Carolina to push for more vouchers for low-income children. There were about 5,500 applications for the 2,400 available scholarships, which are worth up to $4,200 each.
"I came to this issue through a whole series of community struggles over time in Milwaukee," Fuller said.
Poor need choices, too
"Many people felt if we could just get our schools integrated it would take care of the education problem," Fuller said. "As it turned out, it did not."
He said vouchers are not a panacea, but they do offer parents a choice.
"You have some good schools and some bad schools that have been created and are using the program," he said. "In my way of looking at the world, choice has a value in and of itself. If every school is not a great school, that doesn't mean you should not have choice."
He said studies have shown improved graduation rates among students using the vouchers, and an improvement in math and reading, but not other subjects.
Fuller said while he supports means-tested vouchers, he would never support universal vouchers, a position that puts him at odds with some of his allies.
"I got in it to give low-income and working-class people the opportunity to choose," Fuller said. "Those of us with money already have that."
He believes the parent choice movement is growing across the country.
Fuller doesn't believe the push for scholarship grants is anti-public education, but is simply another option for low-income parents.
"I just don't think there ought to be an America where only those of us with money have the ability to choose," Fuller said.

Its high time RIM brings something new to the market rather than launching minor updates to their already outdated range. Why would I pay 10k for a 600-800Mhz processor? And BBM fanatics should really try Whatsapp instead. No GPS, low end processor, bad camera and a glossy plastic body. I can get better in other phones in the same price range. The only pro is the good battery life. I would recommend it only for people who hate touchscreens but still want a smartphone. Otherwise you have better options.
A "smartphone" with no 3G, outdated App store, below par specs, same old design, and priced at nearly 11K. i really don't see any reason for anyone to buy this,if its for BBM, well there's whatsapp which is cross platform. Since Blackberry is in a free-fall in the US and European markets, they're coming out with so-called "budget" phones in India and trying to sell them with a "its cool to own a Blacberry" tag line.

blackberry curve 9220 had really been a surprise, OS 7.1 at this rate is a dream come true.
sure it does not have a 3G, but who cares, it have a wi-fi, and anyways in India how many video calls do u make with a 11k smartphone. iPhone's, i agree they may be at places better than blackberry's bt androids stand nowhere near a bb.
Samsung along with other phones at this range have same processor, and the are useless.

John Gordy's obit was in the KNS tonight. That news hit home for a number of reasons.
Gordy was the strapping youth from Isaac Litton High School in Nashville, who led the Vols from the nothingness of a 4-6 season in his sophomore season of 1954 to the SEC title and a No. 2 national ranking two years later. He was captain of the 1956 team and had an illustrious career with the Detroit Lions (1957, 1959-67).
Vol fans consider the 1956 group one of the best in the school's history and Gordy's leadership up front was a major reason.
The Vols were 10-0 in the regular season and ascended to the No. 1 spot in the AP poll Nov. 17, and, despite winning over Mississippi, fell to No. 2 in the final two weeks of the season.
The key win that season was a 6-0 win over Georgia Tech Nov. 10.
John Majors once regaled observers at practice one day by reciting the starting lineups of one of the great late 1940s Army team, followed by a recitation of the 1956 team, Buddy Cruze and Edd Cantrell at the ends, Charles Rader and Gordy at the tackles, Bruce Burnham and Bill Johnson at the guards, and Bubba Howe at center. The backfield was Majors, Stockton Adkins, Tommy Bronson, and Bill Anderson. Majors reeled them off with great ease. It was something to watch.
Majors and Cruze were All-America selections, while Gordy joined the duo as an All-SEC type.
Vo fans are greatly appreciative of the men who built the tradition.
John Gordy was one of them who did, and all of us honor his legacy and memory.

For example:

Interview Details – On Campus interview. Fairly standard, behavioral questions. Asked me to walk thru my resume. I think I did well, considering I had more relevant experience than anyone else. I think they were more looking for someone to develop rather than someone who already knew things.

The skills test consisted of a case study about an international deal. I didn't get the offer, but I learned a lot about interviewing after meeting with them.

Interview Details – Travel arrangements were great, they insisted to me to fly even with my willingness to drive. There were two panel interviews, one technical and one behavioral. The technical interview started with an explanation of BP, the organizational structure of the department and how the position fitted in the structure. I was asked to give an example on every answer and they keep drilling on my answers to a great detail. The second interview was a behavioral case questions; also they require examples in every answer. This interview process was one of the toughest one that I had ever encountered although they were very respectful.

The interviewer was very fair but the dialogues has no freedom to them. Everything was done by a packet of instruction he held. This made it very difficult to connect with the interviewer.

You need to do them in one go, one after another. I found them much easier than SHL. A couple of weeks after, I got invited to the interview phase - 2 interviews in one day. Competency interview was 45 min and very plesant. The questions were strictly personalised and related to the CV. Competencies - innovativeness, achievements, etc. Technical interview was a business case and lasted 1h. Commercial acumen, communicating your structure of thoughts is very important.

Wine can be dated by the amount of radioactive carbon from nuclear activity they containHarmless amounts of radioactive carbon have been found in wines made from grapes harvested since the last atmospheric atomic bomb tests were carried out in the 1960s.
But the "bomb pulse" of radioactive carbon lingering in the alcohol of wines produced since could be a good thing for wine dealers and collectors.
Scientists have been able to pinpoint a wine's vintage to within a year by analysing the levels of radioactive carbon in the wine, a technique they say could help detect fraudulent attempts to repackage cheap plonk as a high-end tipple.

I bought these brushes to apply polyurethane to cabinet doors and although they took a bit of getting used to, I am now very glad I spent the money. The finish is superb and the brushes loaded-up nicely.

I must admit it took some hard thinking to spend this much on a brush, but what a difference. I bought the 2" brush and used it to spread polyurethane on a table top. The finish looks smooth and professional. Well worth the money.

Robin's notes for this recipe:
I was given this recipe in Culinary School by one of my Professors, and I can't get enough....This is her written biography...'This is my mom's dense, excellent and definitely unhealthy banana nut bread recipe. This is great at parties, but hazardous at home. Use any type of fat in place of the butter, such as shortening or oil. It works with brown or white sugar". I followed the recipe to the exact measurements, and I will have to admit that I almost ate the whole loaf at one sitting. HAZARDOUS!
This made the Test Kitchen smell amazing! The dense, nutty bread is oh-so-moist and will win over even the non-banana lovers in your life.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
SIft the flour, salt, and baking soda into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the butter or margarine and sugar until smooth. Mix in the bananas, eggs, and walnuts until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, and stir until blended. Divide the batter evenly between the two loafs.
Bake for 60 to 70 minutes in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted into the crown of the loaf comes out clean. Let the loaves cool in the pans for at least 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack, and cool completely.
Wrap in aluminum foil to keep in the moisture. Ideally, refrigerate the loaves for two hours or more before serving.
TIP: Do not taste or cut the loaves in advance.

Hi Robin, I'm new here and so far I love it. Now I know I can be a little brain dead once in awhile, i'll be the first one to admit it but i'm a little confused with the quantities of 3 items in this recipe, maybe you could clear it up for me. The 3 things are: the butter, eggs and walnuts. I'm totally confused. They're all a little confusing but especially the eggs. How do you get 3 and 1/4 eggs?? : ( I would appreciate any help you could give me because it really sounds good and i'd like to make it but I want to do it right. Thanks, Susan

Get Babalu on there and some other crazy people and it would be great
I do think the house concept is played out the should let them stay elsewhere and just see who comes to work each day - who got thrown in jail the night before , and who could not help but to party on the strip all noght then come to train or fight all hungover and blasted - let them make choices and see who wants it more.
just putting this out there
I don't think the HW div is dead just most don't know who the challengers are, as TUF members are more of a house hold name and not nessacary any better of a fighter
I love the idea but i think it should be for WW and HW... the HW division is pretty much dead... they need more people..
Good thread. I would add a few more fighters in there.
They definetly do need to do another comeback season. The rookie thing is getting monotonous. If the ratings are falling the star power will bring them back up. It would be cool to see the crow, or other promising fighters go on TUF. Look at how it revived Cote's career
LOL YEA Gan the giant Mcgee.

In the race for President of the United States, influential Rhode Island political insiders have weighed in regarding who has run the better "ground game" in Rhode Island leading up to the election. According to our results, Democratic influencers felt Obama has run a better ground campaign by a wide margin while a majority of Republican influencers surveyed said the ground campaign up to this point has been even.
Patch surveyed 53 Republicans and 51 Democrats, asking regardless of their partisan preference, which presidential campaign do you think has run the better "ground game" campaign during the general election in Rhode Island? Among those who responded, 55.6% of Democrats said Barack Obama has run the better ground campaign by a wide margin. Another 22.2% said Obama won the ground campaign by a slim margin. However 11.1% of the Democrats surveyed felt Mitt Romney had a better ground campaign in Rhode Island, while another 11.1% said both were even.
Media Campaign
In our next survey question we asked our political influencers whom they thought ran the better advertising campaign across all media during the general election in Rhode Island. Among the Republican respondents, 53.3% said they were neutral on this question, feeling both candidates were even when it came to the media campaign in the state. Twenty-percent felt that Mitt Romney had the better media campaign by a wide margin. Another 13.3% felt Romney had the better media campaign by a slim margin, while another 13.3% felt Barack Obama had the better media campaign by a slim margin.
When we asked our Democratic influencers this same question, 44.4% felt the President has run a better media campaign in the Ocean State by a wide margin. Another 22.2% felt Obama had run a better media campaign by only a slim margin. Meanwhile another 22.2% felt Mitt Romney had a better media campaign by a slim margin. Eleven-point-one-percent felt it was even between the two candidates.
Electoral Votes: What's More Important
In our third question we asked our Republican influencers when it comes to winning Rhode Island's electoral votes, what will be more important: convincing "swing voters", "undecideds", "independents" to vote for Mitt Romney or turning out the GOP base. Overwhelmingly 85.7% said that convincing the swing voters, undecideds and independents was more important to winning Rhode Island's electoral votes. However 14.3% said it was turning out the GOP base that was more important.
When we asked this question to Democrats concerning Barack Obama and turning out the Democratic base, the response was completely opposite from the Republicans. Seventy-seven-point-eight-percent thought turning out the Democratic base was most important to winning electoral votes in Rhode Island, while 22.2% thought that convincing swing voters, undecideds and independents was most important.
Cicilline-Doherty Race
In our fourth question, we asked our political influencers what effect, if any, will the David Cicilline/Brendan Doherty race have on the presidential race in Rhode Island? Both parties in the majority said it will have no effect on the race. Fifty-three-point-three-percent of the Republicans said it will have no effect, while 66.7% of the Democrats said it will have no effect on the race. Forty-percent of Republicans felt the race would have a modest increase in votes for Romney, while only 6.7% of Republicans said it would have a big increase for Romney.
Twenty-two-point-two-percent of Democrats felt the Cicilline/Doherty race would have a modest increase for votes for Obama. Another 11.1% felt in would have a modest increase for votes for Romney.
In our fifth question, we reversed the previous question asking our Red Rhody and Blue Rhody political influencers what effect, if any, do you think the presidential race will have on the David Cicilline/Brendan Doherty race? Republicans appeared to be split on this question. Thirty-three-point-three-percent felt it would have no effect on the presidential race. However 26.7% felt it would have a modest increase in votes for Brendan Doherty, while another 26.7% felt in would have a modest increase in votes for David Cicilline. Only 6.7% felt in would have a big increase in votes for Brendan Doherty and another 6.7% felt it would have a big increase in votes for David Cicilline.
Democrats were not as divided on this question as the Republicans. Fifty-five-point-six-percent felt the presidential race would have a modest increase in votes for David Cicilline. Twenty-two-point-two-percent felt the race would have a big increase in votes for Cicilline, while another 22.2% said it would have no effect on the Cicilline/Doherty race.
When we asked our political influencers what other downballot races they thought would effect the presidential race in Rhode Island several responses on each side came up with the same answer. Both parties agreed that the U.S. Senate race between Democratic incumbent Sheldon Whitehouse and Republican Barry Hinckley would have an effect on the presidential race in the Ocean State. One Democratic political influencer also cited the U.S. Congress District 2 race between Democratic incumbent James Langevin and Republican challenger Michael Riley.
Final Thoughts
We wrapped up our survey by asking each of our Red Rhody and Blue Rhody political influencers to add their thoughts about Tuesday's election. On the Republican side the responses were quite diverse. One political influencer predicted Romney would win by a large margin while another responded by saying Rhode Island would elect Barack Obama regardless of any other factors. Another Republican response stated that both presidential campaigns conceded Rhode Island to concentrate on battle ground states.
The Democratic responses were much more singular. A majority of the responses predicted a victory for the President, both in Rhode Island and overall. Another response felt that there was too much money being spent on the presidential race and something needed to be done about that. One Democratic response cited the disappointment in the tactics used by the Romney campaign.

Greensburg Daily News
Greensburg —
The Greensburg girls basketball team hosted first-place East Central Tuesday, falling to the Trojans 49-34.
East Central jumped out to a 13-5 lead after the first quarter. Following its slow offensive start, the Lady Pirates went into the halftime trailing 27-15.
Greensburg, though, came out of the half and put up its highest scoring output of the night, edging the Trojans 14-13 in the third quarter. Despite struggling offensively, Greensburg held the visitors to nine fourth-quarter points and their second-lowest scoring total of the season. The Pirates had lost to East Central by 38 points in the first meeting.
Freshman Taylor McIntosh led Greensburg with a career-high 11 points, including seven in the third-quarter run. Sophomore Jessica Banaschak followed with nine, also scoring seven in the third period. Senior Clare Owens hit two second-quarter 3-pointers for six points. Senior Heidi Dance scored four, while senior Shelby Ward and freshman Keauna Schultz each added two.
Greensburg (5-6 overall, 2-3 in the EIAC) next hosts South Dearborn tonight in a game that was postponed earlier in the season. The Trojans are 9-1 overall and 6-0 in the EIAC.
JV Pirates fall to Trojans
The Greensburg junior varsity team fell to East Central 37-19 in the first game.
The Trojans took an 8-4 lead after the first six minutes, and 20-10 at the half. Greensburg had the third-quarter edge at 9-7, but the Trojans ran away with a 10-0 fourth quarter to seal it.
Megan Schmidt led the Pirates with nine points, including a 3-for-4 effort from the foul line. Emma Wolter hit a 3-pointer, while Allie Geis added three points of her own. Sydney Wettering hit a pair of free throws, while Sydney Reynolds chipped in two points.

IFAs could gain council referrals under Social Care Bill
by Brian Cantwell, Tim Cooper on Feb 11, 2013 at 17:34
Advisers could receive a boost from government plans to reform the way long-term care is funded, through local councils referring self-funders to IFAs.
New Model Adviser® understands that the latest draft of the Social Care Bill contains an amendment prescribing local authorities to refer self-funders to financial advisers.
The draft bill containing the amendment is currently being scrutinised by a committee headed by Paul Burstow.
Lorreine Kennedy (pictured), head of care fees at Hertfordshire-based IFA Care Matters, said: 'We are aware of a draft amendment to the Social Care Bill that will say that all citizens should be referred to financial advisers.
'It is being looked at by the scrutiny committee and if it gets passed, local authorities will have an obligation to [refer] self-funders,' she said.

No doubt they will want it to be free advice. God forbid anybody should have to pay.report this
Feb 11, 2013 at 18:09
What's that I see in the distance?
Looks like a social care misselling Tsunami heading our way.
Whatever we do will be wrong.
To be honest, if someone made me choose between a box containing 10 social care transactions to advise and be liable for, or a box containing 10 stroppy cobras, I'd take the cobras......
.....at least there's an antidote for the cobras.report this

Chris Miller - brilliant comment - made me chuckle - a lot.
You are right as well. I have stupidly ventured into the world of trying to provide information and advice to the local authorities before. Oh how the public sector (other half) live!
To say that they expect something for nothing is an understatement. I'm going for those cobra's mate! xreport this
Feb 11, 2013 at 19:11
Well my experience to date of Referrals from our County Council is that they are very keen to engage, are happy (if they're acting as deputies) to pay and are looking to tick the box on their checklist to say they have made a referral to a suitably experienced and qualified adviser. If you cynics don't want them then all the more for me!report this

Remember NHFA.........report this
Feb 12, 2013 at 09:38
No doubt we will get callers from people saying that they are working with the council to provide quality IFAs to give this advice. Sign up and we will provide you with leads......
This is a serious warning to firms and advisers about this leaches.report this

I do. They flogged inappropriate Investment Bonds to old people. Owned by HSBC. Enough said.report this
Feb 12, 2013 at 10:27
Hey people
If they want my advice they will be referred to RDR and will pay my hourly fee.
After all if they went to the solicitor that's what they expect to get and so that is what they will get from me.
It could be seen as a time to earn just giving advice at a meeting with no sales to pay the PII and FSA costs for?report this
Feb 12, 2013 at 13:30
Some interesting responses (above) - and some cynicism. Our experience is that when working with Local Authorities there are many people who really want to do the right thing for their citizens. Local Authorities have started to recognise the real value that firms such as ours bring to the community. Referring citizens to specialist firms will, in the long term benefit local tax payers. The resultant financial advice received in many cases means that in many cases that that citizens do not run out of money, and thus return cap in hand for more support.
I agree with Neil G - (NHFA - they were owned by HSBC - I rest my case).
Finally, on the subject of fees - fees are seldom a problem when clients recognise the quality of information and advice that a specialist is able to provide.report this
Feb 12, 2013 at 13:50
Some may argue that it may be worth taking the box with 10 social care transactions and the box containing 10 stroppy cobras and combine into one big box then place in a separate darkened room with sign "do not disturb". Terms and conditions apply.
Whatever the horrible outcome you can be sure that the regulator will hold IFAs fully responsible for the viper clash of personalities and not providing the serum either at all or in a timely fashion..
Lest not forget, IFA accountability and FSA accountability sit diametrically at opposite ends of the corelation scale
IFAs score a perfect 1 = fully accountable to client, FSA/ FCA, FOS, law, professional bodies, PI insurers, whereas the FSA score a perfect 0 everytime, accountable to no one but themselves and now beyond all reasonable doubt well and truly above the law).report this

Last week when interviewed on the BLAKstar radio show, I was asked about my dating tips for 2011. These tips can be found in my blog, Summer Lovin'. This week I wanted to explore what seems to be the most challenging tip, joining an online dating website. What is it about joining a dating website that makes so many people cringe? According to recent studies, 1 in 5 new relationships now begin on an online dating website. I personally know many friends who have met quality partners and even got married to someone they met from an online website. Although it's no longer taboo to place our picture on a site to meet new people, I believe what worries people the most about online dating is creating the profile. Many people don't know where to begin. What type of pictures should be used? What should the profile say? How does one attract the right partner? What does one do to attract the right partner?
Here are 5 tips on how to create a winning online dating profile:
1. Display Smiling Photos
Showcase photos in which you are smiling and/or doing a fun activity on your profile. These types of photos will make you appear more approachable, friendly, and fun. You should be alone in these pictures as this profile is about showcasing you. Also make sure to share at least 3-4 photos on your profile.
2. Have a Fun Heading
Besides the photo, the heading is the next thing a person usually sees before opening your profile. It should be a fun statement that piques their interest. An eye catching heading could be a favorite saying, motto or phrase. Just make sure that it says something positive about you.
3. Paint a Picture
Your profile says a lot about you. Therefore share your best attributes. But to really make your profile stand out from the thousands of others on the site, don't just write them out. Paint a picture. For example, if you are a caring person, instead of simply writing that, share an example of how you volunteer at an animal shelter on Sundays or how you spent many years of your life as a caretaker. This will not only make you seem more real than just words on a profile, but will give the person reading it something to connect with.
4. Create a Vision of Love
This is the most imaginative part of creating your dating profile. What is your love vision? What would your partner be like? What types of activities would you do together? How would he/she treat you? Craft a brief paragraph and describe this at the end of your profile so you can attract your ideal mate.
5. Be Honest
The entire reason you are creating this online dating profile is to meet someone you are compatible with. Don't pretend to be someone you're not. Being honest on your profile is the best way to attract someone who you may build a lifelong love connection with.
Although I have shared these 5 tips with you, I know there are still many of you who find the entire process of creating an online dating profile overwhelming or are simply too busy to create one. In fact, I recently gained a client who wanted to use my services to create her Match.com profile. If you are also interested in this service, e-mail me at email@example.com. The first 10 people who e-mail me will get an initial online dating profile setup for only $50 (a savings of $25).
Do you have any successful online dating stories? What suggestions do you have for people creating an online dating profile?

SAN FRANCISCO -- Before the plane lifts off for Phoenix, here's a collection of factoids from the Buffalo Bills' 45-3 loss Sunday to the San Francisco 49ers in Candlestick Park ...
1) The Bills allowed a team-record 621 yards of total offense and have posted two of their three worst defensive performances in franchise history the past two weeks.
2) The Bills became the first team since the 1950 New York Yanks to allow at least 550 yards in consecutive weeks. The Bills surrendered 580 to the New England Patriots a week earlier at home.
3) Buffalo has been outscored 97-31 in its past two games and has allowed 145 points in its three losses.
4) The Bills are the first team in NFL history to let an opponent rush for 300 yards and pass for 300 yards. Against the Patriots, the Bills became only the second NFL team to allow a 300-yard passer, two 100-yard runners and two 100-yard receivers.
5) No NFL team allowed 300 yards rushing -- never mind the 300-yard passer -- in any single game all of last season.
6) The last time a team had as many as 275 yards rushing and passing was 1988, when the Washington Redskins did it.
7) Buffalo's offense gained 204 yards. The 417-yard differential in total offense was the biggest in club history, a robust 18.5 percent more than the previous record of 352 yards against the Baltimore Colts in 1971.
8) Buffalo's 417-yard differential ranks 28th in the NFL since 1940.
9) This is the first time the Bills have allowed at least 500 yards in back-to-back games.
10) Buffalo hadn't allowed a combined 1,000 yards in consecutive games since 1971. Buffalo did it twice that season.
11) The Niners' 311 rushing yards are third-most in Bills history behind 320 allowed to the Dallas Texans in 1962 and 318 allowed to New York Jets in 2009.
12) Sunday's 42-point defeat is the third-biggest in club history behind a 46-point loss to the Patriots in 2007 and a 43-point loss to the Colts in 1971.
13) San Francisco had a 300-yard passer, 100-yard rusher and two 100-yard receivers for the first time since 1961.
14) The Bills have allowed the most rushing touchdowns (nine) and the highest average per carry (5.7) in the NFL. They rank 30th against the run at 171.8 yards a game.
15) Only two defenses have surrendered more than the Bills' 12 passing touchdowns and only three are allowing quarterbacks to average more than their 8.4 yards per throw. Quarterbacks have a 103.6 passer rating versus the Bills, fourth-highest in the NFL.
16) Only two defenses have allowed a better third-down conversion rate than Buffalo's 48 percent.
17) Buffalo's defense is dead last at 6.7 yards allowed per snap. That includes incomplete passes, sacks, etc. San Francisco averaged 9.9 yards every time it ran a play.

Once again Vanessa, thanks for the resources. This list had a link to the StoryCorp iPhone app. StoryCorp is one of my all time favorite websites. I didn't now there was an app for that!
Vanessa, I downloaded the StoryCorp iPod application and was blown away! Not only can you easily access stories, but it has a guide to set up interviews, sample questions to use during interviews, a voice recorder to do your interviews and links to upload them. VERY COOL. I would love to develop a unit plan (or staff development course) centered on Story Telling and delivered entirely on an iPod/iPhone...if I just had a few more hours in the day.
I was introduced to the Fair(ly) Use Tale video in my master's program. I used it in my Journalism classes to help the students get a clearer picture of copy right law and Fair Use. I think it's a great illustration and was brilliantly done. Love it!

This is an interesting way that a kinder teacher used digital storytelling to reenforce a visit they had from an author. We to just had a visit from an author and I am going to do this with my students. I will post it here as soon as we get it done. I am very grateful for the internet and all the sharing that takes place because this is not something that I am 100% comfortable with but if others can do it so can I.
Excellent resources are in this thread. Thank you so much.
Great resource. Thank you for sharing and making this available for all.
Can't wait to get started on my digital story telling. I am collaborating with another teacher on my campus to create one about our school. We will post it as soon as we get it completed.
I like Tom's resource, Flickr's Tell a Story in Five Frames. I'm thinking of using a modified version of this for an ELL workshop.

More information can be found on their website.
Very specific rules-entries Due 17th
Here is what they say, "Everyone has a tale to tell. Bring out the writer and storyteller in your students by helping them enter The Hub Create a Story Contest. You put together groups of students, give them a few Hub characters to choose from and a couple of prompts, and they do the rest. Where the plot goes is entirely up to them.
Also check out Storytelling in the Classroom, Taking it Digital and Meet the Storytellers.
I'm hoping to enter a few of my students into this contest. Right now they are writing stories about water molecules traveling through the water cycle from the viewpoint of the water molecules. If they come out really creative I'll have them make digital stories out of them. I have a variety of IPad apps for this so I guess I'd better get busy deciding which one is best for this type of story and my kids!
I don't have a story to tell, except that I was introduced to this concept over the summer and I think it is a great tool to use in the classroom. I hope more teachers get on board with this idea!!

Fargo is coming off a Tuesday split on the bases but showed a PROFIT for the eighth time in nine days thanks to the +160 Twins! He is a SENSATIONAL +$29,067 in MLB TY with all plays being underdogs of course and his Top Rated 10* Plays have been MONEY in the bank as they are a FANTASTIC (60%) on the season!
Seattle took the opener of this series last night scoring four runs in the fourth inning and never looking back. The Mariners remain two games out in the Wild Card race but they have had a rough go with it of late, going 6-11 over their last 17 games while going 1-5 in their last six games as a favorite. Additionally, Seattle is 1-7 over its last eight games following a win. Cleveland has been playing just as poorly but that has been due to coming off a poor roadtrip and even after the loss last night, they are still nine games over .500 at home. Cleveland is 6-1 in its last seven games as a home underdog and going back further, it is 29-9 in its last 38 home games in the second half of the season against American League teams with an on base percentage .320 or worse. Felix Hernandez is one of the best pitchers in baseball and laying a short price on the road has attracted a lot of action his way but this is a great spot to fade him. He is 4-0 with a 1.88 ERA on the road this season with Seattle going 8-3 in his 11 starts on the highway so he has been very effective. He has now gone 13 consecutive starts of pitching at least seven innings and allowing no more than two runs which is an incredible streak but when it comes to an end, this could be the place for it to happen. Over his last two starts in Cleveland, he has posted an 11.42 ERA with the Mariners losing those games by a combined 15-3. The Mariners are 2-7 in Hernandez' last nine starts when their opponent scores two runs or less in their previous game. Corey Kluber is the forgotten man in this matchup as his numbers are very comparable. He has a 2.77 ERA and 1.12 WHIP over 22 starts and he too has been pitching very well of late. He has quality outings in six of his last seven starts and this is the first time the Mariners have seen him which is a big edge for Kluber. The Indians are 9-2 in Kluber's last 11 starts following a quality outing in his last game. Play (970) Cleveland Indians
