The Free Software Foundation: New Home Page, New Directions
Off the Beat: Bruce Byfield's Blog
Ordinarily, a change in website design doesn't rate a mention these days. However, the recent change in the Free Software Foundation's (FSF) home page is an exception. It marks not just a change in aesthetics, but of organizational direction as well. Instead of being directed at the free software community, the site is now intended as an introduction to free software and the social and political issues that surround it.
Go to the site, and the change is immediately obvious. A few weeks ago, the FSF home page was a typical minimalist site, of the sort that content management solutions generate by the millions.
Now, it looks more like a a commerce site for web hosting or a travel agency, with colored-coded boxes that attempt to reduce free software issues to a headline or bullet points.
For instance, the one at the top left proclaims: "you deserve to use free software that is free from restriction, free to share and copy, free to learn and adapt, free to work with others. you deserve free software." (I'm preserving the letter case in the original, so no capital letters)
Next to it is a bright red box that asks, "New to free software? get started!" Below, a darker red box invites viewers to "meet the free software gang" -- which turns out not to be a series of biographies of people who work for the FSF, as I first assumed, but a list of major projects.
Other boxes are slogans, such as "FREE SOFTWARE FOR FREE SYSTEMS." One is a request to "SUPPORT FREEDOM" by donating ten dollars a month. Still another simply refers to LibrePlanet, the FSF's new effort to organize local grassroot support groups.
Then, just in case the wording on the boxes isn't clear, each one links to another page that gives more detail. Also on the right of the home page, a sidebar entitled, "WHAT WE DO" gives a more general overview of the FSF.
Only the menu bar at the top provides access to the FSF site for non-beginners.
Extending outreach
If you have been following the FSF's direction over the last few years, this change in website audiences is really the latest attempt by the foundation to expand its relevance -- an effort that I attribute largely to executive director Peter Brown, who has a social activist background.
Over the last five years, Brown and the FSF have tried a variety of tactics for spreading the free software message. They have tried to connect with the mainstream media. They have tried to get political parties and social action groups to make free software part of their agenda. They have started campaigns about issues that concern general computer users, such as Digital Rights Management.
All these efforts have had some successes. Unfortunately, none have made the general public much more aware of free software and related issues than they have before.
In fact, much of this effort has gone unnoticed or been dismissed in the FSF's existing constituency -- so much so that even a veteran observer like my former colleague Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier not only dismissed the campaigns as "negative" but urged the FSF to find "alternatives" as though the Foundation had not been trying to do exactly that. From such evidence, I think I can safely say that these efforts have not had the effect that the FSF hoped.
Now, Brown tells me, the FSF's efforts are being focused on LibrePlanet. Although the name is currently associated largely with the FSF's annual meetings each spring, the name is now being associated with the effort to create and unite local groups of free software supporters.
"Our purpose is going to be more about getting people to adopt to free software," Brown says. With a growing list of completely free software distributions (http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html) and the new focus on LibrePlanet, "We finally have the pieces in place for serious advocacy. That hasn't always been the case."
With this change of direction the change in home pages was a basic necessity. If more people with little knowledge are coming to the home page -- many with only a casual interest -- then its purpose must be to educate them as quickly as possibly, and to point out the available resources.
By contrast, the home page for the GNU Project site (http://www.gnu.org/) has undergone a minor face lift, resulting in more introductory material and a toned-down version of the FSF home page. However, the GNU home page is clearly aimed at attracting new developers -- or at least people with more technical knowledge. This difference between the two sites has been growing for several years, but now, with the change in the FSF home page, it has become more obvious than ever.
Does it work?
At first, the FSF's new home page seems garish and chaotic. With its assortment of colors and letter cases, you might be tempted to dismiss it as a middle-aged person's misguided idea of what might appeal to twenty somethings (but almost certainly won't).
However, that might be a hasty judgment, colored by the expectation of a typical CMS site. While I think some of the headlines could stand some tweaking -- for example, the LibrePlanet link might explain what it is -- on the whole the front page is surprisingly successful at summarizing free software in less than a hundred words. In fact, I can't think of anywhere it has been bettered.
Moreover, the combination of summaries linked to more substantial essays seems a balanced choice. Those who are mildly curious still have a chance of going away with a smattering of information about free software, while those who are intrigued can immediately move along to more detailed information.
So will the new page succeed at bringing free software to a wide audience's attention? At this point, I can't even begin to guess. But one thing you can say for sure: with the new home page, The Free Software Foundation has come a long way from the days when it tried to explain its purpose with the mantra of "Free as in freedom, not free as in beer."

We're Engaged!
You guys… I'm so thrilled to announce that Shawn and I are engaged! We planned a last minute, much needed vacation in Florida last month where he proposed to me on a beautiful little beach. It was a complete surprise to me and after 8 years together, I was sure I'd sense the moment it would happen. But my clever, sneaky and romantic fiancé, pulled it off in the most amazing way. It was perfect. Just us, the sun, the sand and the waves (and maybe a piña colada or two).
I decided to take a bit of time off from blogging to spend some time outside of work to enjoy this time and each other. And it has been refreshing in the best way possible. I also took some time to focus on another fun little project I've been working on that I can't wait to share with you all! That's all you're getting out of me.
In the meantime, I hope you'll follow along my wedding planning journey. I work with lots of fabulous vendors daily at Style Me Pretty, so if you're also recently engaged and have any questions, feel free to get in touch with me. And don't forget to take a peek at my wedding board on Pinterest for more inspiration!

I always admire doctors who can write books criticizing their own profession, including any shortcomings they may have as practitioners, in an effort to improve patient care. In their new book, When Doctors Don't Listen, Brigham and Women's Hospital emergency room physicians Leana Wen and Joshua Kosowsky reveal what patients have long suspected: Doctors often tune out a patient's story when seeking a diagnosis and simply clue in on specific symptoms, which may lead them to over-test and over-treat.
When patients utter the words "chest pain," doctors may kick into immediate action, giving patients an aspirin to chew, an EKG to monitor their heart's electrical activity, blood tests, and X-rays, and possibly keeping them overnight in the hospital to confirm or rule out a heart attack.

New Trend? Tween Beating Caught on Tape
Another video surfaces of middle school girls beating a classmate and posting online.
CNN is reporting that a group of middle school girls from Indiana videotaped themselves beating up a 12-year-old girl. (Click here to see the disturbing video) The tape comes just days after six girls ambushed and beat a classmate in Florida which has been seen by millions on TV and YouTube.
What is happening to our daughters that they're not only engaging in horrible violence, but looking for fame by posting it for the world to see? In our story, Generation YouTube, Friend of Mom•Logic, Shannon Fox says, "For teens, it doesn't matter if they are famous or infamous—as long as fame is in the title, they are all for it."
How do you talk to your own teen about online violence? Mom•Logic teamed up with Common Sense Media to give Moms three important tips.
Is this the beginning of a trend? What have you told your own children about violence on the Internet?
I don't have any teenaged girls mine are boys. We have sat down and discussed why they think it is happening and what can we do to prevent it. My boys stated that if one of their girlfriends ever came up with an idea of him being a "watch-out" he will report it to me right away. Or if they come across anything like this they will do what they can to either stop it or get help to stop it. Actually girls ganging up on other girls is an OLD story, it just is now being put up on you tube. What a horrible situation for this child and her parents, I do hope everyone is praying for them. I am unsure as to what I would do in this type of situation, I probably would be the one in jail, I don't think I could stop myself from going out and beating the girl who decided to beat mine. Makes me sick. I do wish to share one story, I have an autistic son. He received a call a few years back on my work cell phone, I told the little girl to please call the home phone number. Something sent up a red flag right there. Next up, my son comes and asks if he can go for a walk at nine o'clock at night. I tell him no, and ask who he is talking to. He again states it is a girl and I ask him to give me the phone, they hung up. I called the number back and the mother answers I ask her if she knows her daughter is calling boys at nine at night. She proceeds to tell me she doesn't have any little girls. She has boys and they are having a slumber party. I asked her who she was and who her kid was. She would not tell me then, I told it, it is alright I will find out Monday. Her son and the boys at that house were planning something and it makes me shutter when I think about it. I called the sheriff and was treated like dirt until this deputy found out what I do for a living and all of a sudden his whole attitude changed! Oh he says "You know the laws" Yea, I tell him I KNOW the laws. That is when he gets back on the phone with the other mother and gets her name and her childs name. That Monday I called the school told them what happened and that my son will now be going to another school and I do not wish these children to know where. Also I felt that something should of been done to those boys, a good talking with the police or perhaps a trip to jail to see what it was they would be facing. The age of these children?? NINE YEARS OLD. I do have a child who can be a bully and I don't let him get away with treating people poorly. It makes me sick that to keep our children safe are we all going to have to home school our children? Have the schools on the internet. Apparently they are not safe, what a horrible world we live in today!
Wonderful web-site, wherever did you found this facts in this article? I am glad I found it. i am going to be checking out back soon to examine what other content you may have.

Men's Golf Claims 15th Place at Marshall Invitational
April 11, 1998
EAST LANSING, Mich. - Michigan Stateis three-round 304-294-295=893 gave the Spartans a 15th-place finish in the highly competitive 20-team field at the Marshall Invitational Friday and Saturday in Huntington, W.V.
The Spartans, on the heels of three straight top-six finishes, rebounded from a slow start in the first round to post 294-295 in the final 36 holes. Leading the way was junior Matt Pumford (Saginaw), whose second-round 69 was two strokes better than his previous career low. Pumford followed that with a 70 on Saturday, finishing in a tie for 19th place individually at 78-69-70=217.
Pumford received solid support from senior John Ehrgott (Peoria, Ill.), who tied for 41st with a 75-71-76=222. Junior Alberto Quevedo (Canary Islands, Spain) and sophomore Chad Quinn (Sylvania, Ohio) tied for 68th place with three-round 228s.
The Spartans return to action next weekend at the Kepler Invitational in Columbus, Ohio.

The Lao Zi temple is otherwise known as the Dragon Temple and is one of the must-see tourist hot-spots on a visit to Kuantan. The Lao Zi temple is located on Jalan Sungai Lembing, about 13km from Kuantan town. It is accessible by taking Jalan Bukit Ubi from Kuantan town, crossing the Indera Mahkota junction, and proceeding onto Jalan Sungai Lembing.
Upon arriving at the Lao Zi Temple, we were greeted by absolute silence which pounded our eardrums. The scene was set for a reverential journey through the dragon.
Upon arriving at the Lao Zi Temple, we were greeted by absolute silence which pounded our eardrums. The scene was set for a reverential journey through the dragon.
The whole journey starts at the dragon's tail and continues twisting and turning for 823 metres - reputed to be the longest man-made dragon in the world.
The yellow walls on the interior shone brightly in the dazzling sun as we made our way through the tunnels of the Lao Zi temple constituting the dragon's body
Words of Taoist scripture were displayed periodically along the walls of the Lao Zi temple
Trees towered above the dragon...
...as well as a somewhat stony walkway...
After a long journey under the sun, over stony ground and with the looming danger of hanging durians, we eventually arrived at the end of the pilgrimage - by exiting out of the dragon's mouth!
Upon reaching the destination, we were met by a beautiful plaza decorated with statues, ponds and flowers. A dozing Rottweiler did alert our senses, particularly as we were the only visitors there, but thankfully it didn't pose any threat. It turns out that the Lao Zi temple is more than just an 823-meter long dragon!
A mosquito-infested flower nursery drew our attention...
...and Lauren's too
We then took a rest with the Lao Zi temple owner in the actual temple which is located on a hill above the entrance at the dragon's tail. He allowed me to take a picture inside.
The 'dragon' theme is prevalent in the vast majority of Buddhist and Taoist architecture
We did find a toilet sign that seemed to lead to nowhere. Luckily our bladders were not full...
We enjoyed being here and would recommend this Lao Zi Temple to all who may be around Kuantan.
As the car engine cracked the profound silence of the atmosphere, and we made our way out of the Lao Zi Temple grounds, I knew that very soon we would return to all the familiar noises and hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Silence is, apparently, golden, and we sure have golden memories of our time spent here in the middle of the forest at the beautiful venue of the Lao Zi temple, alongside the longest man-made dragon in the world.

Love the look -- I adore the way brilliant area rugs add interest to a room. Hate that her website lists no prices, though; the obvious assumption is that they're crazy expensive.

With seemingly every automaker outside of Europe getting into the groove at the 2012 SEMA Auto Show , Mazda isn't going to be left in the sidelines on this one.
The Japanese automaker is on hand in Las Vegas with a steady diet of customized CX-5 SUV's, beginning with the CX-5 Dempsey.
In case there's any confusion with what the name is alluding to, it apparently points to one Patrick Dempsey, the hotshot Hollywood actor who also moonlights as a Mazda driver in the Grand-Am series.
In dressing up the CX-5 Dempsey, Mazda opted for a glossy Grey Anatomy paint base with matching strips of Brilliant Black. Adding to the appeal of the SUV are Luminous Red graphic lines with Bright White borders and Black Mica matte finish details on the tailgate that run across the lower portion of the SUV. The CX-5 also carries a Thule Atlantis rooftop cargo box and a bike rack that carries a pretty sick performance called the Specialized Bicycle S-Work Tarmac racing cycle. Yep, that's the same one used by Russian Olympian Alexander Vinokourov when he raced to the gold medal at the London Summer Games in July 2012. In addition, the specialized CX-5 sits on a set of 20" Mazda Design-customized black chrome alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Latitude Sport all-season tires. Each wheel, in particular, displays a single double-spoke in glossy Luminous Red, a color that Mazda only uses in limited edition cars.
At the rear of the CX-5 Dempsey, you'll find the S-Works Tarmac SL4 Red that comes with a Carbon Satin carbon fiber frame with Red Keyline highlights and secured by a Thule T2 carrier.
Inside, there's plenty of modifications to go around, too. Black perforated leather inserts come with gray aniline leather bolsters and red accents. This three-way color scheme is an allusion to the SUV's dynamic exterior body colors. The interior also received a leather overload with Luminous Red stitching while the full-length decorative panel was custom painted in glossy Brilliant Black with a matching single Luminous Red outline and a Bright White vehicle model imprint.

PopCap Swag Tester: The Results
The results are in: Confessor is the randomly selected winner of the PopCap booty featured in last week's Swag Tester.
Commenter girlgamer21 receives the honorable mention—a random bit of swag and, of course, the usual Crispy Gamer T-shirt—because she used the phrase "bad telly tubby" in her comment:
I saw a guy on the news dressed as the purple telly tubby with a suitcase turns out he was stealing things from people's homes on halloween night. This is no joke this really happened. Bad telly tubby.
There was also a good tale from togmkn, who took heed of my advice to make something up (or did he?):
I saw a little kid dressed up as Batman. It was a decent Batman costume, as far as little kid ones go.
Thing was, I just bought Arkham Asylum and have been having a hard time beating Bane. I just snapped! I was like, "I WILL FOLD YOU LIKE PAPER!!" and charged towards him. But the little tyke threw a batarang and jumped out of the way! I ran into the garage door, stumbled back, and the snot bubble jumped up and kicked me in the nose.
I gave him a Snickers. It was the worst Halloween ever.
Look for a new Swag Tester next week.

It hasn't been easy to see, what with Georgia Tech going 13-18 and 11-20 the past two seasons, but there's history here. And where there's history, there's hope.
On Friday the Jackets christened their rebuilt arena. The McCamish Center was nice and bright and, at least for this one night, nearly full. The new place cost $45 million — in baseball terms, $45 million might buy two years of Josh Hamilton's services — and if it comes to house a serious basketball team the redo will have been worth the cost. If not …
The sad part of 13-18 followed by 11-20 was the memory of what Tech basketball once was. From 1981, when Bobby Cremins arrived from Appalachian State and began charming big-name recruits despite his penchant for wearing a green suit during home visits, until the unraveling near the end of the Paul Hewitt era, this program mattered. It mattered in the high-falutin' ACC (three conference tournament titles), and it mattered nationally (two Final Fours). But the momentum was lost under Hewitt, and it has fallen to Brian Gregory to reclaim it.
To be fair, Gregory has something working for him Hewitt didn't: The new man has the McCamish Pavilion. But new digs will get a program only so far. Sometime soon, Georgia Tech has to start winning again.
Gregory's second band of Jackets did their bit, beating Tulane 79-61 on Opening Night. Tech had 36 points with 3 1/2 minutes remaining in the first half, a number matching its total for the final game of 2011-2012. (Perhaps understandably, the main McCamish scoreboard remained dubious, short-changing the home side by two points and displaying only a big "34.")
Forty percent of Tech's starting five – forwards Robert Carter Jr. and Marcus Georges-Hunt — are freshmen, and so is the sub shooter Chris Bolden, who scored 12 points in 23 minutes. The holdovers appeared to have absorbed Gregory's teachings in a way seldom seen last season, and the initial impression was of a bigger, deeper team that should finish above .500.
And that would be a big deal. The new building gives Tech a momentum it hasn't known since the architects of the run to the 2004 NCAA championship game departed, but momentum is an ephemeral thing. Another down season would leave the impression that this program, no matter who's coaching or who's playing in what arena, has become a continuing mediocrity.
"You saw things tonight that are very important in building back what was a very proud program," Gregory said, and you did. And for inspiration, Jackets of today had only to look at the Jackets of yesteryear gathered under this roof Friday.
More than 100 old Jackets took the new floor at halftime, and there were so many of them that they nearly ringed the court. "Tonight is a celebration of the past," Cremins told the crowd, "but more importantly the beginning of a new era."
Earlier, the old Jackets had been feted at a reception, and you could stock a pretty good team in the NBA Senior League — not that the NBA has such a thing, but let's pretend — with the talent on hand. Said Gregory: "You see Kenny Anderson, John Salley, Tommy Hammonds, Duane Ferrell, Roger Kaiser … you know you're in a special place."
Standing next to Anderson in the back of the room was Bruce Dalrymple, Cremins' breakthrough recruit. Someone said, "I remember that steal you made in the (1985) ACC final against …
"Kenny Smith," Dalrymple said, and the deft flick-from-behind against the great North Carolina guard was the signature moment of a signature game.
Indeed, memories were once Georgia Tech's stock in trade: From the Mark Price jumper at N.C. State to James Forrest's Miracle in Milwaukee; from Scott's astonishing steal-and-trey in front of Dean Smith to Anderson's jumper at/after the buzzer against Michigan State in the Superdome;
from Will Bynum's whirling banker against Nevada in the Sweet Sixteen to the same Bynum's winning layup in the Final Four against Oklahoma State … back in the day, the wonders rarely ceased.
It's far too early to know if Gregory and these Jackets can lift Georgia Tech to similar heights. But any coach will tell you it's easier to rekindle a fire than to try to make a winner of a program that has never done a thing. "We talk about putting on that jersey," Gregory said, "and treating it with the respect it deserves."
Georgia Tech basketball used to mean something. On a night when the new Jackets took their first step into the future, we were reminded just how special college basketball can be. "Kind of a storybook day," Gregory called it, and it was — Book 2, Chapter 1, Page 1.

For a second year head coach and a team filled with freshmen they looked promising. I know
it was Tulane, but that was the best GT basketball
I've seen since 2004 – hustle, good shooting, crisp
passing, effort to get rebounds and we could
throw an inbounds pass (oh those last Hewitt years). Off to a great start!

Tonight presented a metamorphosis of both arena and team. At least the facilities was a no-doubter. And the team, for the first game of the season, was beyond anything we've seen the last few years.
Productive and aggressive freshmen?? What a refreshing change.

The foundation has been laid for the new era. CBG has accomplished alot in one year, let's just hope he can keep the momentum going. Also great to see the students back in the house and helping to rock the TDome.

Ed, Cremins quit and went to South Carolina for a few days, changed his mind and TECH allowed him to come back. Then he resigned on his own a few years later. TECH did not run the man "out of town" at any point.

This coach demands Defense and Rebounding! The freshmen are the real deal and as the season progresses this team will compete with anyone! Tulane was a very quick, talented, and tall team and Tech wore them down and dominated the entire game! Barring injuries, if they play defense like tonight, they are a top 15 club with a good chance to challenge for the ACC tourney title! Looking forward to the uga game this year and kicking their butts again! Mark be afraid, be very afraid of this hungry and tough Yellow Jacket squad!

Nice column, Mark. It brings back some memories. My favorite was the Superdome in 1990 – closely followed by Dennis making a 3 pointer against DePaul and running off the court. You missed one big one – Scott "Elvis" Petway hitting the jumper from the corner against Wake to seal Bobby's first big ACC win.

This is one of the most unique arenas in the nation. No, there aren't 15,000 seats but there doesn't need to be. Smaller arenas create the best atmospheres and now the seats are closer to the court. The lighting is incredible and intimidating with the court bright and the stands dark. Like you're playing in a dungeon. Not gonna be an easy place for teams to come in and win. Go Jackets!

I was really impressed with the team as a whole and how they played together. I haven't seen team work like that out of a Tech team in years. The freshman looked like ball players and not just good athletes. We might not win them all, but this group is going to be a lot more fun to watch!

I have followed GT basketball since AMC was opened in mid-fifties. Cannot remember if I was at opening game but I went to as many as I could. Tech in the SEC was fun to watch and Wack Hyder did a good job in getting some good players. He had two guards, Terry Randall and Buddy Blemker who always gave a good show. Al Ciraldo would holler out " there goes Buddy Blemker shooting from the hip" every time he threw up a long one. Glad to see the McCamish family leading the way for the redo of AMC. The only sad note is the state of both the football and basketball programs. I can`t attend games anymore, but I hope this new arena and better teams will spur renewed interest in basketball. Got to remember that GT was competing with the Hawks who drew a big crowd last night. The Falcons and the Hawks have hurt GT attendance. However, some of the blame falls on the lack of winning or at least competitive teams.

I started attending GT basketball games in the mid-fifties when AMC opened. Can`t remember for sure if I was at opening game but was there as often as possible. GT basketball in SEC was fun to watch. Wack Hyder did a good job. He had a way to beat the great Adolph Rupp and Kentucky that other SEC coaches could not match.
Enough nostalgia…I wish GT well as it attempts to revive the program. The rebuilt arena should help bring better players and more fans in the future.

Ed, in addition to what ToeMeetsLeather mentioned, Cremins is now back on the GT Staff in a new volunteer position helping to recruit players and acting as a liason to past players. And since 2003, GT has played (and still plays) on Cremins Court. Cremins has mentioned on a number of occasions that he will always have GT in his blood.
November 10th, 2012

How about the energy, aggression, and confidence of those Jackets? All the tentativeness that marked the Hewitt years is history. It was a joy to see. And boy can they run! What I liked best was the way, after they made a bad play, they seemed to forget it immediately and get right back to business. No wake from mistakes is a big deal, and not so easy to teach. Kudos to Gregory.
November 10th, 2012
7:04 am
ToeMeetsLeather, you' only half right, sad to say. Coach Cremins did resign and return, as you said, but Braine later forced him to resign or be fired. As a Tech alum, the bungling way that it was handled embarrassed me, but last night's appearance once again proved what a big man CBC was, and is.
Didn't see Braine in attendance, btw.

@ToeMeetsLeather, @Mike Sorrells.
Tech is not any better than other college when it comes to accepting a bad year or years.
Many fans are solely "what have u done for me lately?" and will run off any coach during a bad spell.
Tech alums tried to run off Bobby Dodd before he even got started.
Although he had actually been the head coach for three years after Coach Aleck's heart attack in 1942, after his "first" season, which was 4-6 and included a 33-0 drubbing from Uga, 15 to 20 alums peppered team captain Paul Duke with questions like "was he ever late for practice?". (pages 106. 107 of "Dodd's Luck". One fan sent to his home address 6 programs from the losing games that year.
That sounds like a group trying to run off the best thing that ever happened to Tech football before he got started. Evidently Dodd remembered all the slights from that year quite well.
And there were clearly those angry with Cremins because they felt, like Uga fans do towards Richt now, that some teams had underperformed.
I repeat:Tech fans run off faltering coaches off just like anywhere else.
I have an ugly memory of it during Cremins' last years I'd rather not mention but will if pressed.

The previous year, Tech had ended KY record home game winning streak (which was a big deal). Great Fans. Exciting game. Will never forget. Should have named it the "Thriller Dome" that night. Last night? Deja Vu?

Gerards POV
"Okay so what appears to be the problem?" Dr Rayne pears over her spectacles, her black hair tumbling across her face softly.
"Nothing." Franks pouts acting like a child again. I can't help but to roll my eyes at this again. He needs to get better goddamnit. Does he not get that i'm a man? I worry and don't wash and forget to take the pizza out of the oven and do dumb shit like that. Oh, and sex? Yeah, i need lots of that to keep me sane in this day and age. Don't even mention my fucking occupation.
"He's tired all the time, he's moody and he pukes up the moment he wakes up." I say monotonously as Frank attempts to silence me. Haha fat chance of that, skinny motherfucker.
" Ah, i see. And you're worried as to why this is occuring." No shit sherlock, we wanted a free day out so i bought him to visit some straight middle class citizen like fucking you. Man i'm pissy today. Maybe Frank is okay. No he's not, his vomit is like alien coloured, all green and containing chunks that look like spaceships.
"Okay Frank, come and lie on this bed for me." Dr Rayne stands up and gestures towards the bed.
"I am not getting on the bed for you, i'm taken!" Frank screams, horrified at the aspect of laying underneath huge bouncy breasts. Not that i was looking or anything but you just notice these things i guess. Plus i'm fucking straight as a roundabout, like it really even matters. I can't help but laugh at this scene unfolding before me though. "No, Frankie, Honey she needs to examine you to see what the problem is." I tell him softly.
"Oh, okay then." He says struggling to get up on the bed. I laugh again and know i'll be having double payback later. Ooh, i hope it involves foreplay. It's all about the foreplay.
"I'll lower the bed. Stop jumping please Mr Iero." And she pulls on the lever allowing Frank to carefully make it on the bed. "Okay Frank so first i'm going to tap you gently with this here." She lifts a hand showing a stick with a circle on the lower end. It looks kinda like a penis if i'm honest, a reallly small one though. Man, i have seen a few of those in my time. Cough, drunken best friend Ray Toro skinny dipping in Mikeys Girlfriends swimming pool. Poor Alicia was scarred for life, in fact i bet she still has recurring nightmares about her eighteenth birthday to this day, eighteen months later.
"Ouch!" Frank hisses as the doctor taps his lower abdomen.
"Does that hurt?" Dr Rayne asks. Wow she's a motherfucking genius! I should have stayed home. Why don't i listen to my tiny, little boyfriend.
"I'm going to do a scan sir, you may have a kidney infection." She finally says something helpful. There is a god, there is a fucking miraculous higher power eyeing my every move and there is a fucking scanner moving across his body. And fuck me, there is a fucking baby! Wait, a baby!
"I'm not so sure how this occured right now, but Frank you are going to be a mother." Dr Rayne exclaims, slightly shocked herself. And then everything goes blurry until i fall on my head and my view turns black.

Church Silence
Promotes Violence
to humans, to animals, to our environment, to our economy, to our education, to our finances, and to our health
By: Mary T. and Frank L. Hoffman
The Pershore Abbey's Support of Sport Hunting is Against the Teachings of Jesus Christ
A perfect example of how far a church can slip from grace, and lead it's congregation astray, is reflected in the following letter that was sent to the vicar of the historic Pershore Abbey, at Pershore in Worcestershire, UK, by Chris Gale.
Dear Rev Crawford,
I was deeply dismayed to read that a 'celebration of the countryside' is being staged by the Countryside Alliance at Pershore Abbey on Tuesday, December 18, with 'Carols for our Countryside' in aid of that quite odious organisation.
The Countryside Alliance, formerly known as the British Field Sports
Society, is an organisation dedicated to re-legalising the chasing to
exhaustion and vicious death of wild mammals for fun.
That a fundraising service will be held in a sacred place for an
organisation dedicated to bloodsports is truly appalling.
Those attending this carol concert will sing of peace, love and
compassion, yet they are the ones who actively engage in and glorify death
and violence towards Gods creation.
The sheer hypocrisy of this is quite staggering as is members of the
bloodsports fraternity giving readings from the Bible.
These same people do not represent the majority of the countryside
population, they are simply a wealthy sub culture that uses other issues
to mask their true nature.
They represent violence and a culture of sadism that is complete
anathema to the teachings of Christianity.
I would ask you to square this:
http://www.diggingout.org/terrier_work_photos.html or this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Yrp1GkDfS0 with Christianityĺs
'"By their fruits you shall know them!"
I am a confirmed member of the Church of England, have lived in a rural
area all my life and every generation of my family has had some connection
with working the land, my family across generations has been deeply
opposed to the barbarous cruelty of bloodsports as are so many other rural
Shame on the Church that it gives succour to those who inflict cruelty
on our wildlife and whose savagery is known all too well to those of us
who stand for the values of decency and compassion.
I have copied this mail to the Anglican Society for the Welfare of
Animals for information.
I have also copied it to the Rev Barlow who I see from the attached
news article is leading this quite obscene service.
ôUntil he extends his circle of compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace.ö Albert Schweitzer
"If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men." St Francis of Assisi
Chris Gale
Animal Welfare Campaigner.
Every compassionate person in the world needs to speak out,
as Chris
Gale has done, whenever we encounter a church or religious organization that supports cruelty or indifference to the suffer of any human or other animal. The Church needs a wake up call!
The intent of this series is to wake up and encourage the Church to greater works of love and compassion (John 14:12). It is not to condemn the Church, in general, or any individual, any more than Jesus condemned the woman caught in adultery. Jesus said to her, "...go your way. From now on sin no more." (John 8:11) And this is our message to the Church: Recognize our sins of the past and go forth seeking to be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect (Matthew 5:48), correcting the sins of the past, for that is the only way we can truly show the world that we love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, might, and mind, including the whole of creation, which includes our neighbors whom we are to love as ourselves.

The last segment of the CMAs at least rewarded those who cringed through the first two and a half hours, but things didn't brighten for Georgia's artists, all of whom lost in their respective categories.
Though Jason Aldean was widely expected to win the coveted Entertainer of the Year given his monster year, it was instead a stunned-looking Blake Shelton who took the award show's top honor.
"When I moved to Nashville in 1994 I had two goals: One was to someday have a gold record and one day to be a member of the Grand Old Opry. Entertainer of the Year was…what is this? I don't even know!," Shelton stammered. "I know I'm not out there on the road as much…I don't know how this happened. I freakin' love it, though. I try to represent country music as best I can with everything I do. I love country music more than anybody in this room."
The award was Shelton's third of the night.
Earlier, Shelton's wife Miranda Lambert took Female Vocalist of the Year. "I don't necessarily deserve this, but I'll sure take it," she said, laughing. Lambert continued with a charmingly rambling speech about being invited to Martina McBride's house and wanting to represent for all of the females, "to stick together and get our country voices heard."
But the highlight of the show was the tribute to Willie Nelson.
Lady Antebellum initiated the performance with a tender "Always on My Mind" and "Crazy." Then came Blake Shelton and Keith Urban for "Whiskey River"
and the ever-slender Tim McGraw and Faith Hill joined the team for "Good Hearted Woman."
Nelson looked on from the audience with his usual bemused expression during the performances but came onstage to lead the all-star jam in "On the Road Again."
At song's end, host Brad Paisley ambled over to present Nelson with a massive trophy.
"How many pushups can you do with that one?" Nelson joked.

This exchange at the very beginning of the CMA's last night deserved mentioning:
Brad Paisley said "We are here to honor the great Willie Nelson. We will simultaneously strip you of all your previous CMA awards." Carrie Underwood continued "because we understand you have been charged with doping issues". In the audience, Willie was chuckling and mouthed a few words. Carrie, gasped and said feigning shock, "Did you just say "GUILTY?".
I can't say how the rest of the show was because we turned the channel but that was pretty funny.

Country fan for sure but I have yet to figure out the appeal of Miranda/Blake. She has the worst lyrics in country music and he is a drama queen. He complains about everything and everyone. Maybe I just answered my own question. Nevertheless, they are (and I hate to use the word) "trashiest" of all the artists in country. Please go away.

the show overall was a little slow and disappointing, but there were some great performances:
The Band Perry – 'Better Dig Two': love the song, sounds like another #1 hit for them!
Kelly Clarkson/Vince Gill duet – 'Don't Rush': Kelly just blew the rest of the female singers away with those powerful pipes; her voice sounded so natural, soulful….really enjoyed this one.
Blake Shelton/Keith Urban – 'Whiskey River': Blake and Keith were having fun with this one, as well they should.
some thoughts: Faith Hill – eat a cookie; Miranda Lambert – those leather pants were not flattering, at all; Blake – learn the word 'brevity' and apply it to your acceptance speeches.

I couldn't name one song Blake Shelton sings. Lambert is terrible. Besides Zac Brown Band, country just isn't good anymore.

It's a stretch to call that the "Country" Music Awards. It sounds more like rock to most of us listening. Cowboy hats to baseball caps, jeans to leather pants, cowboy shirts to T's (which look awesome). Willie is country. The rest of the show is Rock * Pop* and a tiny bit country.

blake shelton sucks. the best thing he ever did was marry miranda lambert.
country ain't country anymore. my wife listens to "country" stations on the radio. it drives me insane.

I only watched it because of Willie – he is on my screen saver – I really and truly am his #1 fan!!! I used to take him huge bouquets of yellow roses, whenever he came to the Atlanta area. One night at the Omni, front row, he got his yellow roses and Waylon got red – they swapped on stage and then they both toasted me – the place went crazy but not near as crazy as me!!! I am 62 years old now and can no longer afford to go see him, but I still just love him, HE IS COUNRY!!!

OK, look, guys. Melissa, you're usually pretty fair, but I think you've been a BIT hard on everyone here. I am a pitch freak too, but the two I really noticed were Hunter Hayes and Carrie Underwood. Carrie surprised me, but maybe it was the hosting duties wearing her out. Hunter, I heard him do Wanted a month or two back on a talk show, and he sounded the same way. THEN AGAIN, I heard him a month or two ago ALSO at the Ryman doing a rockabilly cover at another awards show, and he sounded AMAZING in the most unforgiving acoustic room on earth.
My theory-I saw a show at Bridgestone two Fridays ago-NOTHING wrong with the acoustics.
MY HUNCH-these guys get nervous as heck playing in front of their peers. There is NO OTHER "music city" on earth as identifiable as Nashville is for country. ALL of these artists talk about how HARD it is to play here. LOTS of pressure.
Maybe they were drunk, too…:)…Lower Broadway is just outside the front door…pretty sure Luke Bryan was, according to reports (and I love Luke)…
So…whatever the case…all you folks COMPLAINING about country not being "country", well, again, TURN THE STATION!
Try Pandora, XM, your iPod. Your whining is getting VERY old. NO ONE likes chronic complainers.
November 2nd, 2012
7:16 pm
As for Hunter on Wanted, to add: I think it's just a pitchy song for him. Auto-tune must've been his friend on that one, as they say. The dude more than anything is a musical genius who plays something like 40 instruments. Unbelievable.

First, Carrie delivered the best performance of the night (as usual). Second, Carrie was ROBBED her best vocal award again! Why are the CMAs so obviously denying Carrie her deserved win? How can Miranda keep winning when eve SHE admitted she should not have won again? I am getting sick of all the BS awards each year – like how Luke or Jason lost out on lesser talent this year. Carrie was amazing as a host too – what does it freaking take for her to win again? Just because Blake & Miranda make a cute "golden" couple does not mean they should win ever year, year after year. If you listen to ML's performance of "Fastest Girl", then the incredible notes of "Blown Away" there is NO other winner besides Carrie. Just cuz Miranda jumps around, gets sweaty, and sings with a bigger twang does not make her better, it just makes her more predictable. Also, for Blake to win ETOY over Jason Aldean is simply wrong. Jason had 4 #1's this year, biggest/hottest tour, biggest selling album, and sold out Fenway in 7 minutes.. that's NOT enough to win ETOY? Blake has only been on the Voice to self-promote himself, and had 2 #1s… not bad, but no match for Jason. Honestly, this show seems rigged. How else can you explain another year of BS/ML domination when so many were better. Even ML said again in her speech that she does not deserve her award (JUST LIKE SHE SAID AT ACMS this year). CMAs lost a lot of credibility this year – sad.

As we enter a new week of the federal government shutdown, hundreds of thousands of workers still are not getting paid.
Congresswoman Michelle Lujan Grisham held a roundtable discussion Sunday with federal workers.
They told her how the shutdown is affecting their day-to-day lives.
She said she will take those stories back to Washington D.C.
One of the workers at the meeting today let KOB Eyewitness News 4 spend some time with her to see how life has changed.
Tracy Ife works for the U.S. Forest Service.
Ife says right now, she is trying to stretch every last dollar in her checking account until the shutdown is over.
"I don't want to have to cry myself to sleep at night thinking that I'm not going to be able to take care of what I should be able to take care of because I have a permanent full time job that I've been doing for 15 years," Ife said.
She said she also pays her elderly mother's mortgage. She fears that will not get paid if she cannot get back to work soon.
Lujan Grisham told workers in the meeting that she fears every day the government's stays shutdown, more damage is done.
"The ripple effects from that, I don't know how we recover from. So my job now is to make sure that every member of Congress knows that we cannot default on the debt ceiling," Congresswoman Lujan Grisham said. "We must pay our debt and all we're asking for is 6 weeks. We're going to get that clean CR on the floor of the House and we're going to get a vote."

Boaters heading to the launch on Clear Lake in Waseca have been wondering why there are hundreds of dead fish, and FOX 9 News found out that the sudden warm weather is causing an early fish kill that usually wouldn't be seen until late June or July.
Josh Lyman's fishing boat has been sitting idle in his Owatonna driveway ever since he came across dozens of dead fish at the launch.
"There's a bunch of dead fish -- small fish and big fish, just an awful smell," he said.
Lyman planned to go fishing on Saturday, but opted against once he saw all the dead fish and didn't know why so many had died.
"First thing we thought was, 'Some sort of problem with the fish,'" Lyman said.
On Sunday, FOX 9 News found Steve Cox fishing on the water, and he had no idea that so many fish had died until he came over to see why the cameras were rolling. Even though the Department of Natural Resources says it's still perfectly safe to eat any fish you catch from those waters, he admits the find put him off his appetite.
"It makes me not want to eat them," Cox admitted.
The DNR believes the unseasonably warm weather in the past few days is likely the culprit in the fish kill because it's sometimes hard for fish to acclimate to quick changes in water temperature.

Ideas of March, Essays, and Diving Down the Rabbit Hole
I guess, overall, the day was pretty significant.
It was election day. George Bush would go on to win his second term as president, and my favorite band released a new album after a bit of a hiatus. I remember I was home from school early. I was a sophomore in high school and had taken two mid-terms that morning. I'm not really sure how it happened. Maybe it was an accident. All I know is I started something that I haven't been able to shake off. And I don't think I'm being hyperbolic when I say it changed my life.

"Few places are changing as quickly as Cuba," says Stylist magazine -- so now's the time to go. For £799 per person, this 10-night trip takes you from Havana, where crumbling architecture and vintage cars sit alongside smoky salsa clubs, to one of the best beaches on the island. At £600 less than usual, it's the cheapest Cuba deal we've seen this year.
Here's what you get:
Click here for more information.
The holiday starts in Havana, "the Caribbean's largest and most vivacious city", according to Lonely Planet. A 20-minute drive from Old Havana, the Comodoro Hotel and Bungalows is in the Miramar district on the sea front. Dining options include a buffet restaurant and two à la carte restaurants that serve Cuban and Italian cuisine.
For Cuban food at its best, The Guardian recommends trying one of the many paladares (private restaurants) that have sprung up in Havana. These range from early 20th-century mansions to homely apartment cafes run by Cuban grandmothers.
Next, head to the Hotel Club Amigo Aguas Azules for a week of beachside relaxation in Varadero. The all-inclusive board covers free tennis, football, non-motorised watersports (pedal boats, windsurfing, catamarans and kayaks), scuba diving classes, Spanish dance lessons and evening entertainment. There's also a Jacuzzi and two swimming pools, as well as a buffet and more formal international, seafood and Creole restaurants.
Depart on 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 September; 7, 14 October.
It's an extra £100 per person to depart on 26 August; 4, 11 November; 2, 9 December; and an extra £200 per person to depart on 17 June; 1 July; 21, 28 October; 25 November; 6, 13, 20 January, 2014.
Departures from Birmingham, Bristol, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester or Newcastle are an additional £50 per person****.
Add a half-price 2-day Cuba highlights trip from £99 per person, including visits to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, a Havana city tour and a full-day tour of Pinar del Río.
Return transfers are an extra £35 per person and tourist cards are an extra £15 per person. Supplements for solo travellers are from an additional £100 per person.

HOUSTON — March 19, 2012 — Technology has changed a lot of things in business, but one thing remains true — people make the biggest difference when it comes to assessing a company's success. Putting the right person in the right place with the right tools remains the best way for a company of any size to stay competitive.
This week at the Convergence 2012 conference in Houston, Microsoft is sharing the evolution of its vision for business software: designing Microsoft Dynamics business solutions to focus on helping companies create a more empowered workforce, one individual at a time.
New versions of Microsoft Dynamics applications will work seamlessly across more systems and devices and will provide access to more data in more locations than ever before. New social functionality can help people tackle challenges right in the context of the application. Integration with the cloud is also providing a new dimension to give organizations great flexibility in designing a system that works to answer their unique needs.
It's a strategy that builds on Microsoft Dynamics' long history of unleashing the power of information for individuals and companies, no matter what the organization's size. Check out the slide show below for some examples of how Microsoft Dynamics helps customers get to the heart of what really makes an organization successful: empowering its people to make an impact every day.

Doug Rose improves SUB By Jose Gafrvajal managing editor The Signpost This summer, Doug Rose set some goals for the 2001-2002 school year. As the executive vice president of the Weber State University Student Association, Rose planned, among other things, to make improvements to the Shepherd Union Building, to get a leadership minor established and to make student government more accessible to students. Whether Rose, a junior w ho will finish Ilk career with WSUSA at the end of this semester, ac complished those goals depends on how you look at it. Some in his position might easily an nounce that they have accomplished everything they planned. But Rose is not so sure about the work he's done this year "I don't think you can ever accomplish everything you set out to accomplish," Ire said. A closer look lends some credibility to that statement. He was able to accomplish some of the items on his to-do list and was not as successful on some others, but he made an impact on WSUSA and on the university. Through his position on the Shep wsusignpost.com By Tanna Barry editor in chief The Signpost V herd Union Advisory Board, which he receives autonatically as executive vice president of WSUSA, Rose worked this year to make improvements to the SUB. "I've been pleased with the things I've been able to do with the Union Building," Rose said, citingthe-addition of a big screen television and new, modern furniture in the building as some of the improvements that he places importance on in creating a new, more student-friendly SUB. While Bill Fruth, director of the SUB, was the main financial force behind the refurbishing project, it was Rose's leadership.Uiat made the difference. '"I think Dong' was in-strumi'ntal,"Fruth aid. "I considef Douc i "'V I 1 instrumental in providing that voice." While Rose was instrumental in refurbishing the SUB, he was not as successful in getting thC proposed leadership minor on the bdioks. Getting the minor approved by the College of Business proved'to be quite a challenge, one that1. Rose vowed to continue to push for.-if need be, after this year. The snag, said Rose, was the unwillingness on the part of the college "' See SUB Page 3 n t Monday, April 1, 2002 Voter turnout was 204 less than last year for the primary election, but the winners were still clear. A total of 1,676 votes were cast in this election, while 1,880 voted in the 2001 election. Presidential candidates John Valletta and Brody Barnes re- ceived more votes than the other three candidates. Valletta had 525 votes, while Barnes had 374. The next highest presidential candidate was Greg Larsen with 260 votes. Jamie Warner and Damon Lindeman are advancing to the final elections as candidates for business senator. John Aubrey, who had the second highest number of votes for this senate seat, was disqualified for not turning in his financial statement on time. Nallely Ruiz and Scott Zuniga are advancing to the final elections for the LatinoChicanoHispanic senate seat. "Every candidate was hard working and gave up a lot of their time," Valletta said. "There are dang good candidates this year." Valletta said he was excited when he focnd out the results from the primary elections. For the second year in a row, he was the highest vote getter. "I look at all those candidates and how hard they worked, and I felt flattered," he said. Valletta and Barnes both havetbig plans for what they want to do if elected, ranging from increasing student involvement to improving technology. Valletta said his main goal is to get students more involved. "It's a constant struggle because we're a commuter campus," he said. "Even if you want to, it's hard to krjow how to get involved." .

|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|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.

The BC-20 rechargeable stun gun delivers 2 million volts of electricity to stop an attacker in his tracks. The amperage of the Barracuda line is 50% stronger than all of the other stun guns in our inventory. Amperage is what incapacitates an attacker. Voltage is the speed at which amperage is delivered.
The Barracuda brand of personal stun guns has a different philosophy than other stun gun manufacturers. Barracuda believes that stun guns need to provide effective stopping power. You will not see extra bells and whistles on a Barracuda stun gun, just safe strong power.
Barracuda mini stun guns do not have flashlights. Barracuda believes flashlights on stun guns compromise your safety because the flashlight drains power from the stun gun's battery potentially leading to an underpowered stun gun. Also, when you are using the flashlight, you are not prepared to use the stun gun. A stun gun or any self defense tool will be useless unless it's ready to use.
All Barracuda personal stun guns include 7.2 Volt Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. Ni-MH batteries have almost twice the capacity of the Ni-Cad rechargeable batteries and are less prone to develop memory effect. They are also safer for the environment because they don't contain heavy metals!
This mini stun gun comes with a safety switch to prevent accidental discharge and a disable pin to prevent the stun gun from being used against you in case the attacker takes the device.
The BC-20's small size makes it easy for any woman to hold and the rubberized shell adds to ease of handling. The size of this stun gun makes it an ideal stun gun for women.
