Make your own thrilling writing competition! Nominate and vote for your favorite writers! I made this group to inspire others and award them for their dedication. Any story you write in here you can use for whatever you want in the future. Have fun!
Members: 792
Latest Activity: Mar 24
Hey everybody! First off, just so no confusion happens, I'm a guy. Okay, now let's move on. You're probably all familiar with the fanfiction awards? Well this one is for all writers, young and old! All the rules that apply to this site applies to this group as well so keep it nice around here! If you are unsure of something, ask before posting it. I hope you have a great and fun experience in here! ^_^
Okay, let me explain how the Competitions work. I'm a pretty busy guy in real life, so I probably won't be hosting any more competitions until I know I have the time to read every story. I'm not online to much either so I gave owner rights to my trusty Admin Amanda! If you got any questions, she's the gal you want to see. Now, competitions work as followed. Whatever the category of the competition, whatever details/rules, must be followed. All entry's must be something completely new and original, something you wrote specifically for the competition and nothing else. There are Fanfic and nonFanfic Competitions. For both, the story must be made just for the competition. No past stories you made on your own time. You must follow the rules of the host/hostess. Hosts may choose if they would like more judges to help them decide on the winners. That's pretty much it for the competitions.
For awards: You pretty much can do the same thing you did in the Fanfic Awards. Make a discussion, choose the category, etc etc... here you may submit your own originals that you write on your own. If you want, you can submit past entries for awards and competitions. Basically, if you wrote a story for a competition that you think can win the award, go ahead and enter it in! It can be for both writers, and fanfic writers. As for what the actual award is, be creative. It could be a free banner, a story written just for you, a gift certificate to PF Chang's! Go crazy!
Hmmm....what else? Oh yeah! Below is a new rating system to help make things more organized and fairer. You don't have to be part of it if you don't want to, but I encourage that you do as it will help you as a writer and make things run smoothly around here!
I would like to thank everyone for joining this group, without you guys being active and helping to start this group, it never would be how it is today, so I thank you! ^_^

Read below in the section titled "Rankings" to learn more about how you can be leveled and what it's all about. Any more questions, go ahead and comment on the Q&A! :D
*If you do not see your name up here and you know that we've given you a score, please let us know so that we can get your name up there. We're only human and sometimes we forget.

hi it's sparkly i made this for the group :)
News as of 12/23/10 @ 8:32 PM pacific time:
We're now starting a new "rating" activity. You submit a writing piece and then Sparkles, Amanda, and Kaze will decide whether you're rated as expert, intermediate, or beginner. Expert being the highest level, beginner being the lowest.
From now on your fellow writers will be ranked based on their level of writing abilities. It ranges from Beginner to Expert. Below are descriptions of each category. Remember, not all of these comments may apply to you, this is just a generalization. The judges will let you know what you need to fix in your story.
Beginner: Your writing is good, but it isn't great yet. You may need to work on expanding your vocabulary, your sentence structure, or your grammar needs to be fixed. The story is evident, but it isn't structured enough to have the greater impact on the reader as desired. Try to write in between the lines, keep your reader attached to the story, and give more emotion in it! You can greatly improve on your writing. You may have a great story idea, but it isn't too developed yet. Work on it a bit more.
Intermediate: Great job! You're in between expert and beginner, work harder and you'll achieve great heights. You might want to work a bit more on your word choice. Give the reader more of a purpose to your story. Involve a connection between your story and the reader, really make them feel like they're in the story. A great writer can say a lot about a little bit, so expand on your details but not too much where it becomes overwhelming. Try to connect more aspects of your story together so that everything ties in and no questions are left unanswered, but some of the best story's leave us with the best questions. It all depends on what you, as the writer, are intending to leave on the reader. Overall, you have great structure in your story and it is strong but not quite there yet. Keep working at it.
Expert: This is the highest level you can rise to in this group, but be aware that just because you have gotten here doesn't mean you can't keep learning.You will always learn more as you go on in life whether it be writing, love, social skills, or anything else in life(something to remember throughout life). If you're an expert you probably have great word choice, very descriptive imagery, striking metaphors, and amazing structure in your story. Keep in mind that you don't want to have too much detail or it'll drown the reader and you might lose your audience. Omit some details, let your reader infer some of the things that happen. Keep your story enticing but mysterious at the same time. Suspense will really keep your reader hooked, but give them a treat sometimes.
This is the basic criteria and guide to ranking your peers and yourselves. I want to clear some things up though. This was created not to point the bad from the good, but to improve all people in this group who love to write. Always strive to get better in whatever you do. Also, different genres of writing mean different levels per individual. For example, someone may be great at writing short story's, but they may not be too strong in writing poetry, so as a poet they are ranked as a beginner but as a story writer they are ranked expert. Competitions will be ranked based on their level of difficulty. What you are ranked is only to make things more organized and help people improve in their writing.
Once we have enough people who are ranked we will start the competitions being leveled appropriately so it is fair for everyone. That's the basic of this new format. If you have any further questions please consult any of the admins or post your question in the "Q&A" discussion and we'll get to it as soon as possible. We hope everyone participates in this event and that you all have a fun time doing it while improving because that's what is most important and what we strive to do in this group. Thank you for you're cooperation and for being part of this fantastic group. Have a great time ^_^

I just thought that I'd put down an inspirational quote today to keep you all going. This is one of my favorite quotes and I think that everyone should live by this quote.
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. :)

Hey guys I would really really appreciate if you guys could support my new story by voteing and commenting! It would mean a lot! and if you want me to check a story out inbox me! thanks so much! xoxoxo
Cole is a broken young man with a past that could make a grown man cry. He hated his past so much that he was about to end his life, when a guardian angel from below called out to him. The voice was like music and he knew that ever since that day he would never be able to block that voice. We Can Put The Past Away is a broken love story that may or may not be fixed,it may or may not have a happy ending, but what it will have is a young man who will never be broken again.
It's weird how this group is so dead yet it survived the group sweep up. Oh well, can't complain right? Last free-writing group still standing! I only ever come on to say hi every once in a while and see how things are doing. Being a senior in high school I'm trying to get myself ready to go into the real world and stuff. Mature and adult stuff man :) lol well anyway, just popped in to say "What's up everyone?!" and see how things are running on the website as a whole. Apparently not too well, even with the new Twilight movie out. I guess people got tired of the site and the whole Twilight phase(THANK GOD!). Anyway, feel free to keep this group as active as possible. Even if it's only 2 people lol anybody has the freedom and power to really to bring this group back up. If anyone has any questions, message me or Amanda. Or you can look in the Q&A discussion to see if the question is already answered for you. Feel free to drop by my page, or my inbox, and say hello ^_^ Have fun. See ya around
Much love, Kaze.
Hey guys if any of you are on Wattpad I'd appreciate it if you checked out my new story. It doesn't have many views yet and I was hoping you could help. If you comment or vote on the story, you can send my a link to my tts inbox and I'll read your story and give it a comment!
Summary: Cole Ansel Hitchcock was about to end his life before a miracle happened, a beautiful voice from below saved him from what he was about to do. Cole is a broken young man and his savior is about to become a constant person in his life, helping him recover. Cole knows that because of her he will be okay, he knows that once he heard her voice he would never be able to block it from his mind. Can't Stop is a broken love story that may or may not be fixed,it may or may not have a happy ending, but what it will have is a young man who will never be broken again

Made this dish to use up leftover parsnips and gruyere in the fridge. It was good, but not what I would serve on a special occasion.
Turnip-Parsnip Gratin
Photo: Becky Luigart-Stayner; Styling: Tiffany Vickers
A mandoline will slice the veggies into uniform thickness and make quick work of it. Use a flavorful aged Gruyère cheese, if you can find it. If not, substitute an equally assertive cheese, such as aged cheddar, Gouda, or a pungent soft-ripened cheese, like Brie.

Educating This and Future GenerationsSeventh Generation is committed to helping consumers make informed choices. Seventh Generation provides information in several formats: on packaging, on this Web site, in 7Gen News (look in the upper right corner on any Seventh Generation web page to sign up) and in booklets and presentations by Jeffrey Hollender, company co-founder, as well as other members of our community.

|Renaissance announces a meaningful tribute in its congratulatory messages for Oman's 40th National Day to His Majesty Sultan Qaboos and to the people of Oman. In response to His Majesty's calls to plant 1 million palm trees in the coming year, Renaissance sponsored the publication of 3,000 copies of Nakhlat Maryam, a book that holds great educational and scientific value of this historic tree, and was distributed free of charge to schools, colleges and libraries around Oman.
September: Renaissance road safety message
|Road safety is a serious concern in Oman and around the world – according to the World Health Organization, 1.2 million people are killed on roads every year and up to 50 million more are injured. Speeding is the leading cause of road accidents by human consequence. To highlight this urgent situation in time for the start of the school season, Renaissance created a short series of public awareness messages advocating road safety. The safety mindset unifies all Renaissance businesses in caring for all our people, our customers and all those affected by our work.

|Renaissance sponsored an original charity event to raise funds for autistic children in Oman. Inspired by Dustin Hoffman's autistic savant character in the film Rain Man, the event was organized around a Sudoku competition where the Chief Guest was George Widener, one of the few gifted autistic savants of the World. Savants are autistic but intellectual geniuses and can compute faster than a computer/calculator. The following advertisements were published in conjunction with the event.

December - Renaissance celebrates 100 years of oil and gas major, BP
The Topaz Marine vessel appearing in the ad, Caspian Server, is one of three vessels currently serving BP in Azerbaijan on a US$ 225 million, 10-year contract awarded in September of 2008. The company's position as a leading provider of marine support services is reinforced by partnerships with blue-chip clients such as BP where the highest standards of quality HSE are upheld.
November 2009 – Renaissance 39th National Day advert and company profile
The Renaissance adverts and profiles appeared in a number of country books and magazines celebrating the 39th National Day of its home nation the Sultanate of Oman, including Oman, A Nation on the Move, The Majestic, and Excellence International.

mhQf state n Volume 30, Number 46 Weber State College, Ogden, Utah 84403 Tuesday, April 27, 1971 J i3 t A r7 y j Speaker cancels Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., world-renowned historian-scholar, scheduled to appear at Weber State College April 29, has canceled his engagement, college officials were notified. Mr. Schlesinger was scheduled to speak both at the Thursday morning convocation and again that evening, said Daniel L. Martino, WSC director of cultural events. Mr. Schlesinger was the last lecturer scheduled to appear on the WSC Celebrity Series as Alegria Arce, pianist from Ecuador had canceled earlier, Mr. Martino noted. Senior candidates run unopposed In the final elections Friday, no less than seven candidates are unnopposed, including three candidates for Senate positions. Senior Class President Glen Curtis, currently business manager for the Signpost, is running for the office of Senior Class President. As Senior Class President, Glen would "Work to make the Senate more representative and responsive. I would still like to see expanison of student services, effective representation on faculty committees, and government working to improve academic quality." The Senate recently redefined the duties of class vice presidents to include the direction of their class activities. This gives a new dimension to these offices, and is reflected by the goals of the two unnopposed VP candidates. Senior Class Vice President Senior class Vice Presidential candidate Bob Brueckner stated that increased "senior involvement on the committes and councils peculiar to the senior class is an important step in representing the senior class and in gaining participation and interest in WSC." Bob is a Pre-Med Chemistry major who wants to work "for the progress of Weber as a whole." Senior Class Secretary Candidate for Senior Class Secretary is Eileen Draper. Eileen Draper is a nursing major and will graduate this year as a registered nurse, but plans to return for her degree in psychology. She has served as secretary of the second year nursing class and worked with the Junior Class Council. Eileen stated her goals as "the establishment of a senior sound-off to hear the views of seniors in regard to placement opportunities, the graduation fee, etc., to help air and solve problems." Lulu Drops Out Louana Harline is officially announcing her withdrawal from the race for senior class secretary for the following reasons : "I feel my experience lies in activities and not secretarial work. Eileen has had that experience and is more capable of handling this particular job than I am. "I believe that more students involved in student organizations the better. There can be creative ideas and more efficiency. I have had several offers to work in other area and I would not like to hog two jobs and cause another person to be pushed out of being involved." Sophomores prep for posfe Sophomore Class Presidential candidates are Rob Alley and George Dickson. George Dickson is a member of the class council and is active in a fraternity and campus affairs. He has had experience in debate and public relations. George states; "Besides involvement with social activities, I would like to see the Sophomore Class Council become involved in more relevent student issues. I will work to provide a larger and more effective class council." Rob Alley was asked to submit a statement to the Signpost but did not respond. Sophomore Class VP Steve Holbrook and Scott Thredgold are seeking the vice president post of Soph, class. Sophomore Class Secretary Kristy White is running unopposed for Sophomore Class Secretary. Kristy was involved with many activities in high school and at present is serving as an officer in Otyokwa Sorority. She states, "I feel all students should have a voice in the government of their school. I feel that dorm students should be more involved in school activities. I will support the officers of the sophomore class and work for these ends." Senator hopefuls seek posts Three candidates for the senate are unopposed. Rex Stevens, seeking the office of Senator from the School of Business, would like "to serve the business students in order to aid them in their educational aims." Rex has served with the student action committee, Education Committee, and Supreme Court. Mike Wagoner, a junior, seeks to serve as Senator from the School of Technology. "Technology is in a hole at WSC. Technology has been greatly responsible for the rapid growth of our modern world, and should be more emphasized at Weber. This would be my goal as Senator, to bring Technology to a recognized position at Weber." From the School of Education, Noel Blonquist is a candidate for Senator. "My objectives as senator of education will be to promote the new individualized (IPT) program, and to better inform the students, community, and the nation to the advantages of this program over the old system of training teachers." Senator - Arts, Letters, Science Mike Grow and Kevin Wheelwright are campaigning for the office of senator from the school of Arts, Letters and Science. Mike Grow is a pre-law student who will enter law school next year. Mike is on an academic scholarship and enrolled in the Honors program. He has been a member of the debate team and for the past six quarters has a GPA of 3.95. He is active in campus and fraternity affairs , and has served an LDS mission. Mike's goals include having the senate spearhead a drive to increase the academic prestige of the college. He would also like to see the Senate become more representative of the students, and proposes closer scrutinization of the budget to insure efficient use of student funds. Kevin Wheelwright is a sophomore majoring in psychology ahd has attended on a music scholarship. He has had roles in all of the musical theater productions during the past two years and has served as President and Vice President of the WSC Chorale. Kevin is President of Beta Theta Pi Fraternity, a member of the Fine Arts Series Committee and is on the Long Range Planning Board. Kevin'splatform is based on two main points: 1) "To my knowledge there has never been a senator who has been closely associated with the music and theater departments, yet much student money goes to those departments. 2) I feel that much time and effort is wasted because of a lack of communication between the students, the senate, and the faculty. I feel that I could be of some help in both these areas by virtue of my positions and personality. Weber women vie for AWS offices Paula Butterfield says, "The AWS President should play an important role in the life of every WSC coed's life. Through her, each is represented on the Student Senate and all other campus activities." Betty Robinson says, "While activities such as dances and fashion shows are important to the female student, there is another aspect to her life. As President, I would attempt to aid in representing all facets of her role as a woman in the campus world." AWS VICE-PRESIDENT Jocelyn Chow says "If elected, it would by my responsibility to maintain the AWS as one area where women students can become involved in campus issues and activities. My qualifications are: 1) I have been an AWS council member; 2) I have served as a sorority officer; 3) and I can listen to, accept, and act on suggestions given to me.", Ella Sanders stated "I want to work for the women on this campus. I am happiest when I am involved. For this purpose I hope to become AWS vice-president." AWS Secretary Running for the office of Secretary of the Associated Women Students are Judy Hagen and Laurie West. Judy states; "I feel there is need to improve the rapport between the women on campus. My goal would be to involve unaffiliated coeds and those from the dorms in new activities. Also, I would try to combine women of assorted sororities in new friendship-making activities. The coeds need to be united and heard as a whole, not as individual select groups." Judy has served on the Freshman Council, Special Events Committee, as secretary of the Music and Talent Committee and also as secretary of the LDSSA Campus committee. Laurie West who lists her qualifications as Care, says; "the responsibility of this office lies in the ability to represent the women of Weber State College - not the "typical campus coed, but five thousand individuals from five thousand different walks of life. This challenge I seek to fulfill." Laurie is active in a campus sorority and has participated in many activities on campus. Juniors ponder positions Dave Broadbent and Robert Hillier are the two candidates running for the office of Junior Class President. Dave Broadbent has held student body offices at Clearfield High, is a member of the Activity Committee of LDSSA, a member of IFC and of Delta phi Kappa. Dave's policy: I support the Weber State code of placing all Senate bills in their chronological order. I suDDort the bill passed by the Senate giving the Vice President the responsibilites of activites thus leaving more time for the President to assume positions on the Senate. Robert Hillier has served on several committees such as films and special elections. He has also been on two class councils and active in campaigns both on and off campus. Robert states that many areas of progress at Weber could be improved and made more adaptable and useful. He is AMS candidates hope In the campaign for President of the Associated Men Students, Paul Lindquist is running un-opposed. He stated that his main reason for running is to gain a seat on the Senate in order to propose reforms in the representation of the senate. He would propose the abolishment of representation of AMS and AWS. He would also support representation for honor societies, the Inter-Fraternity Council and proportionately increased representation for the schools of the college. AMS VP For the Associated Men Students, Greg Lamprose is the candidate for Vice President. He failed to respond to Signpost inquiries. AMS Sec Paul Meldrum and Bob Tegeder are running for AMS secretary. concerned with easing the complications of registration and with quality emphasis on education. Communication and cooperation between student government and administration, he feels, must be improved. Junior Class VP Bruce Shepherd, seeking the Junior class VP slot, sees three major goals. "First, a greater coordination among the faculty, staff, and students, Second, better communication of ideas and activites through better publicity. Third, good organization of all Junior class activities and programs." Bruce has set his goal for Law School, with an emphasis on business administration. Junior Class Sec. . Sherrie Martin and Ellen Orrack are running for Jr. Class secretary.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Series: Evolution Basics (48 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Stephen Meyer and the Discovery Institute seek to make the case for the designer in a purely scientific context, without specifying who the designer is. At BioLogos, we take the approach that science is not equipped to provide a full Christian apologetic.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Because BioLogos accepts the scientific evidence for the age of the earth and common ancestry, Ham believes we are undermining the Bible and denying its authority. However, the authority of the Bible is key for all that we do at BioLogos.
Watch to see whether the debate encourages the opinion that science and Christianity are at war. We don't think you have to choose sides.
Last week Ken Ham addressed BioLogos specifically in a blog post, in response to Daniel Hamlin's testimony told in our blog on October 14th.
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
(Needs a summary)
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Yesterday, biology professors Randy Moore and Sehoya Cotner raised the concern that workshops focused on evolution-related training do not reach creationism-based biology teachers. Today, we'd like to focus on BioLogos' efforts to address that divide through our Biology by the Sea workshops.
High school biology courses have a strong and lingering impact on students' views of evolution and creationism.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.

BT in £52m contract tussle: West Country bumpkins hit with broadband delay
A £52m government-subsidised superfast broadband project in rural parts of Somerset and Devon that was won by national telco BT has been delayed over "contract issues". "Significant" problems have arisen between the Connecting Devon and Somerset (CDS) programme and the telecoms giant that are yet to be resolved by either party …
"a few outstanding matters still need to be resolved."
Trans: Our extra fees and the amount the councils will pay us on top of the original quotes if we're late and how much we get to soak the end-users and how many exchanges we plan to write-off as insufficient demand have not yet been approved.
BT's business as usual.
Looks like
Looks like the money will now be sucked up in administration costs, office costs, and expenses cost while they bicker over the small print.
"...CDS, whose website hasn't been updated since late last year..."
Well the front page hasn't but they did release events in Somerset and Devon last week:
All too late for Ultra HD (4K) TV
All too late for Ultra HD (4K) TV as its way too slow, so as the reast of the world moves on to new technolgies the UK slips to a 3rd world internet service.
Better than being a loudmouthed Cockney geezer or some other equally derogatory stereotype I suppose...
Re: Bumpkins?
Sorry for being pedantic, but I think you'll find that syphilitic, drunken peeping Tom is the standard lazy stereotype for journalists.
It would be nice if my broadband (in urban MK) could reach the speed and cost of my friends WiMax in Bangladesh.
That may be but we aren't potty mouths!
Careful now..
If you go round calling folks "Bumpkins", you'll get someone on with a stick up their arse calling you a racist. Believe me, I've seen it happen!
Re: Careful now..
Faster broadband in Devon? Good news for those live sex-cam ladies that Ilfracombe is so famous for.
BT holding back rural services
These initiatives have been setup in an aid to speed up BB roll-out to rural communities. I believe that in a lot of circumstances this is actually hindering the roll-out process.
Put yourselves in BTs shoes, you plan on upgrading a rural community, but it's all at your own cost. The government is giving out subsidies, so what do you do? You wait until they subsidise the rural community you were going to roll-out to, why wouldn't you. Sure there are going to be exceptions where BT wouldn't have bothered and this will make a difference, but to many places it's just slowing the whole process down and costing the government money.
Oh, and likewise, I'm proud to be a country bumpkin, I'd rather live in the West Country than the shithole that is London or the North, and by the North I mean north of Watford.
Re: BT holding back rural services
Well I'll go to foot of our stairs! There are bumpkins in what you call "the North", as well. I see them every day when I'm out in me clogs and flat cap walking t'whippet. Umpteen of them, wandering across t'Fens of Cambridgeshire, eating chip butties and black pudding.
Re: BT holding back rural services
Actually you put a small amount of the money you will save into 'lobbying' OFCOM and BDUK and make sure you are the only one that can win the tenders. "Corruption in big business in the UK" shocker!!!!
finish what you started...
before you start on new projects
lets get the whole country on atleast 21CN before we start upgrading other to 'superfast'
BT and SERCO - the dream team!
Not only has BT snaffled £52 million for Devon and Somerset, but SERCO have another £12 million for 'demand stimulation' and infrastructure support in Devon, Somerset, Glos and Wilts - all to be spent by March 2015, just as the first holes are being dug. Try to find the tender SERCO won - you won't...
Hands up
... If you'd welcome the staff to your own exchange to do some upgrades, while we wait for the bickering to end...
BT should really keep delaying the infrastructure upgrade for as long as possible.

COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) - A truck driver managed to escape injury this morning in a bad looking semi-tractor trailer accident in southern Branch County. It happened shortly before 8 a.m. on northbound I-69 just north of the Michigan-Indiana state line. The rig went off the east side of the highway with the cab and trailer rolling over and landing upside down.
Authorities say the trucker was trapped in the wreckage for a short time and was able to crawl through the sun roof of the cab with the assistance of Lakeland and Fremont firemen. The accident remains under investigation by the Branch County Sheriff's Department.

Mar 3 2013: I would talk about how truth is non existent.
When we determine that something is truthful or not, it requires human understanding & interpretation, which could lead to error or manipulation of the 'truth', even if we get video footage of someone committing a crime, it still leads to (possible) human error. Therefore, how do we know that something is the truth, how do we know that cotton is a material and coal is solely made out of carbon are true?
The answer, because everyone else thinks that it is true.
We are not able to determine whether something is true by instinct, as again, it leads to human error / manipulation (our emotions could get in the way also if it was an instinct).

Acer announced the new Acer Aspire easyStore Home Server for customers in the US. In addition to targeting home users, Acer is also hoping small businesses that need to network multiple PCs will be interested in the new server. The easyStore Home Server will run Microsoft Windows Home Server.
The server will let users access files and documents on any other computer connected to the network. It will also create an image-based backup of each PC on a daily basis. For quick file uploading, the easyStore Home Server offers one-touch USB copying. After plugging in a USB drive and pushing a button, the machine will automatically copy and sort files into designated folders by file type. For additional data protection, the easyStore Home Server has a recovery/reset pinhole that enables system restores and data recoveries with one touch.
The easyStore Home Server is housed in an 8x7x7 inch shiny black box. It's powered by Intel's Atom 230 processor. There's 2GB of DDR2 RAM and a 1TB hard drive in the server as well as three bays for swappable hard drives. Together, the easyStore Home Server can hold up to 7TB of data. The cage has release levers for each drive to keep them secure. The server has five USB ports, an eSATA port, and a Gigabit Ethernet port. Expect the easyStore Home Server to be available in the US for $399.

Oohh.. that's kinda sexy... Wonder what the management interface will be like as well as utilities.
It looks very similar to the Drobo... this has better connectivity tho, seeing as how it has a built in gigabit ethernet port. With the drobo you have to get the droboshare... and i've heard it has really poor transfer speeds. I'm not a huge fan of the drobo seeing as how they try to play off their storage array as not being RAID. It's JBOD with raid 5 functions. It's just smart enough to do all the partitioning etc for you. Which is nice for those who know very little about PCs. But for someone like me i'd like to construct my own RAID.
I've been contemplating turning those parts I got, into a media server :-P
Nice little device. Not badly priced either. Wonder how it would do streaming video to pc's on the network?

arctic ocean
This took a few hours to make in Gimp. It was my first arctic ocean attempt. If I had understood my technique better I could have done it in about 20 to 30 minutes, but it is also true that my arctic oceans take much longer than the mid latitude oceans.

In 1998, Hustler Magazine publisher Larry Flynt said he had evidence that U.S. Rep. Bob Livingston had strayed outside of his marriage and he was preparing to publish the information. Livingston got word that the article was pending, and on Dec. 19, 1998, he stepped down as Speaker-elect and announced he would resign from the House in May 1999. Republican David Vitter was elected to replace him. Flynt claimed July 9, 2007, to have made the link between Vitter and so-called "D.C. Madam" Deborah Jeane Palfrey.

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) Most of Wisconsin's corn and soybean crops are making it through the rainy season quite nicely. 80-percent of the state's corn is rated good-to-excellent, along with 77-percent of the soybeans. However, almost daily thunderstorms over the past week has made fields too soggy to hold farm equipment in a number of counties -- and rain ponds are not helping, either.
Eau Claire's total rainfall is 5.8-inches above normal since June first. Madison is 3.5-inches above normal -- and La Crosse and Milwaukee have around two more inches of rain than the norm. Officials say nitrogen deficiency is starting to show up in some of the corn fields. 37-percent of Wisconsin topsoil has excess moisture, and the rest are adequate.
Almost 90-percent of the state's first hay crop is in, along with 9-percent of second-crop alfalfa.

Local basketball action heats up
Written by Administrator
Wednesday, 17 December 2008 00:00
? ? In a big week for action between girls' teams the previously unbeaten North Harrison Lady Cats had their 8-0 record blemished with a tough 59-58 overtime win by the host Floyd Central Lady Highlanders and the Borden Lady Braves won 62-46 at Lanesville over the Lady Eagles.
In boys' action, the Silver Creek Dragons barely escaped from Ramsey with a 60-56 Mid Southern Conference victory over the host North Harrison Cougars, and the Lanesville Eagles rolled 68-25 over Medora to help celebrate their homecoming.
Floyd Central 59,
North Harrison 58
It took an overtime period to decide the matter, but it looked for a while like it would be decided early in the game Saturday afternoon.
The Lady Cats took an early 14-2 lead, but the Lady Highlanders scored the last seven points in overtime to win the game. The Lady Cats had scored the first three goals of the overtime, but were outscored 7-0 the remainder of the extra period.
Brigid Morrissey scored three points on a traditional three point play with 1:41 left in the overtime. Camry Hinton scored with 1:11 left, getting the Lady Highlanders within 58-57. Megan Rookstool dropped in two with 24.7 left on the clock, and that was all that was needed for the win.
"We made some errors late in the game," admitted North Harrison girls' coach Hal Pearson. "Floyd Central did what they had to do late in the game."
A host of North Harrison players did the early damage, with Sasha Grangier, Kacey Cox, Kayla Lambert, and Wynn Shroyer doing the damage for the Lady Cats in the 14-4 start.

? ? The driver of a moped and a passenger in a car were among those injured in recent accidents in Scottsburg.
Records released by the Scottsburg Police Department related that the first injury mishap occurred on Tuesday, December 9, on Allen Street shortly after 5 p.m.
Joseph N. Campbell, 22, Scottsburg, told Sgt. Brian Hall of the Scottsburg Police Department that he had just turned west onto Allen Street from an access road to the Chase Bank parking lot when he saw an eastbound moped heading at him. Campbell said he tried to pull off the road to avoid the moped, but his 1999 Chrysler LHS was struck by the moped as it continued eastward left of the center of the road.

?State Sen. Lewis responds to new state revenue forecast
Written by Marty Randall
Wednesday, 17 December 2008 00:00
?? ? According to the economic forecast presented recently to the State Budget Committee, Indiana's revenue will be much lower for the current year than previously projected.
The state's revenue for the current fiscal year is now expected to be at least $720 million less than was forecast one year ago. The state is currently in the middle of fiscal year 2009, which runs from July 1, 2008, to June 30, 2009.
Analysts expect little improvement in the state's revenue forecast over the next two years, as well as a continued rise in the unemployment rate. The state may see unemployment levels reach as high as 8% in 2010 before the employment market improves, according to the recent forecast.
"We must work together to follow through with our obligation to fully fund Indiana's public schools," said State Senator James Lewis. "Although the revenue forecast is lower than expected, we must meet the needs of Hoosiers who rely on state services."

NEW ORLEANS — A former New Orleans police officer has given formal notice that he will appeal his 17-year prison sentence for burning the body of a man who was shot by another officer after Hurricane Katrina.
Gregory McRae's notice of appeal was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in New Orleans. The notice filed by defense lawyer Michael Fawer also says McRae is appealing a district judge's denial of a motion for a new trial.
McRae is imprisoned for burning the body of Henry Glover. Fawer has said McRae was sleep-deprived and mentally unsound when he burned the body, and that McRae did not know at the time that Glover was the victim of a police shooting.
McRae, 53, had been convicted in 2010 on federal charges related to the burning of Glover's body. He was sentenced to 17 years and three months. A federal appeals court threw out one conviction and ordered re-sentencing. U.S. District Judge Lance Africk last week imposed the same sentence.
Africk rejected defense motions for departures from federal sentencing guidelines. They included Fawer's arguments regarding McRae's mental state and sleep deprivation following the 2005 hurricane.
Africk said McRae was guilty of covering up an unlawful killing by fellow Officer David Warren, even though Warren was eventually acquitted in Glover's shooting.
Africk also rejected Fawer's argument that there was no evidence McRae actually knew Glover had been shot by a police officer when he set fire to a car containing Glover's body on Sept. 2, 2005.
Glover was shot at a strip mall being guarded by police four days after Katrina hit. Warren eventually was acquitted after testifying he feared for his life when he shot Glover because he thought he saw a gun in Glover's hand.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - A Knoxville man has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges he transported a minor across state lines for the purpose of engaging the child in sexual activity.
On Dec. 4, 2012, a federal grand jury indicted an Jose Santos Argueta, 42, of Knoxville. Argueta is an El Salvador citizen who is currently residing in the United States illegally.
Argueta is charged with interstate transportation of a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity.
The indictment alleges that between December 2010 and January 2011, within East Tennessee and elsewhere, Argueta transported an individual who had not attained 18 years of age in interstate and foreign commerce for the purpose of engaging in illegal sexual activity with the minor.
On Monday, Argueta had an initial appearance in court. His trial is scheduled for Feb. 19, 2013, before U.S. District Judge Thomas A. Varlan.
If convicted, Argueta faces a mandatory term of 10 years and up to life in prison, a fine of $250,000, a term of supervised release of not less than five years and up to life, and a $100 special court assessment.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Melissa M. Kirby will represent the United States.
The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.

Taiwan Semi meeting resistance
The chipmaker is seeing continued momentum, but the stock faces huge resistance at $12.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM), the largest chipmaker for Apple (AAPL), Intel (INTC) and other companies, reported first-quarter earnings Tuesday that were 10.1% above Wall Street's expectations. Earnings of $1.07 billion were the highest since the fourth quarter of 2007.
The company said it expects momentum to continue in the second quarter, with sales forecast to rise 8.7% to 10.9% from the level of the first quarter. That would push revenue to a company record for a quarter. Gross margin will climb to 48% to 50% in the second quarter from 47.9% in the first quarter, the company projects.
Ordinarily, that kind of upside guidance would lead me to increase my target price for a stock. But while as a company Taiwan Semiconductor may be cooking, Taiwan Semiconductor the stock (or actually ADR, American Depositary Receipt) has a problem that makes me reluctant to raise my target price above the $12.50 a share that I set on Jan. 29.
Look at a long-term chart of the Taiwan Semiconductor ADR and the problem just about reaches out to grab you by the throat. The last time this ADR was above $12.50 was way back in March 2002, when it hit $14.
From October 2000, the year of the technology stock crash, to April 2010, the stock has traded in a range below $12.50. That's created huge resistance at $12 or so that the stock needs to overcome to move significantly higher.
That resistance is made up of all the people who bought at prices up to $12 or so and who would be more than willing to sell out at that price to break even or show a slight profit.
Getting through this kind of multiyear price ceiling can take years. And I'm reluctant to make that kind of time commitment for Jubak's Picks for any technology stock; the sector is just too volatile. (And although I don't want to buy them until we've seen some kind of correction in the current rally, I think there are better industrial technology bets if your time frame is longer than six months. For three ideas, see this post.)
So, I'm leaving my target price at $12.50 by May 2010. That's still roughly 17% above the stock's price on April 27.
At the time of this writing, Jim Jubak owned shares of Taiwan Semiconductor in his personal portfolio.

ESPN recently concluded an extremely arduous process of codifying the NBA's best 500 players. Our fellow TrueHoop family was highly involved in the process, sending in ballots, backing up their claims in the 5-on-5 series and explaining how certain elements weighed more heavily in their decision-making via video interviews which aired on the front page of the four-letter network's website this past week. From our perspective — being a proud member of the TrueHoop Network — we feel entitled to give a Carmelo Anthony-like tip-of-the-hat to ourselves for all of our efforts, as ranking 500 different players is not an easy task; however, we conversely feel that it is our job to specifically analyze those players we know best, and determine if their individual Top 500 rankings are accurate in order to further understand how we can get better for next year. Including current free agents, the Denver Nuggets saw a whopping 16 players make their way to the #NBArank list. Whether they managed to land in the right spot is up for debate. In Part 1 of this series we'll take a look at the Nuggets who landed outside of the Top 100. (more…)
With the 2011 NBA Draft only hours away, things are starting to heat up, as the Nuggets have reportedly increased its desire to trade Felton for a top 10 pick. (more…)
With the NBA Draft now less than a week away, it's time Roundball Mining Co. unveils it's top ten prospects, ranked in order, from the one guy fans should be dying to get, to just a flat-out solid prospect. Factors included in determining the player-rankings were mostly size, potential, athleticism and overall skill level. Keep in mind, all the players codified in this post are ones that will likely be available when the Nuggets select at No. 22. You won't find Bismack Biyombo on this list, because 21 NBA teams are smarter than to pass up on a guy that talented, even if he is 24-years-old. So, without further ado, I give you the official Denver Nuggets Big Board 2.0! (more…)
In the upcoming Draft, the Denver Nuggets will likely steer towards selecting the best player available at No. 22, with small forward being the exception due to the current bounty already on the roster (Gallinari, Chandler & Harrington). Exercising this strategy means putting the franchise at risk of potentially taking a player who doesn't necessarily fit a position of need. With Ty Lawson appearing to be the perpetual starting point guard of the Nuggets for years to come and Raymond Felton still on the roster (nominally, at least), the demand for another point guard isn't quite a Mile High right now in Denver. But what happens if the best player available at No. 22 just-so-happens to be a point guard? Do we take that player and groom him into a back-up behind Lawson, who similarly played this exact role behind Billups? Or do forgo this opportunity in order to address a more pressing position of need? It's tough to say, but just in case this situation plays out on draft night, Roundball has you covered as to which players might pose this conundrum, and which — if any — are worthy of selecting. (more…)
Though this is strictly a Denver Nuggets-themed blog, I don't think I'd be going to far as to say most of the our readers are likely going to be watching the Mavericks and Heat go at it in the 2011 NBA Finals this year. So, Roundball Mining Company has dug up an assortment of different links to help you further get acquainted with the nuances of this historic series. (more…)
With the No. 22 pick in the first round of the 2011 NBA Draft, the Nuggets have a lot of options to consider. Should we go big, regardless of what talent lurks at our selection, or should we simply take the best player in the draft discarding any specific team needs? Though I believe it would be in the Nuggets best interest to select the best available big man, there's no doubt that some of the most talented players hanging around at No. 22 will likely be wing players and point guards, therefore the Nuggets big board needs to take into consideration a combination of these two draft strategies.
