The hanging of the greens in churches at the beginning of Advent began with the ancient Roman festival of Kalends, when green branches were given to friends for good luck and to bring blessings on the household.
The bringing of evergreens into the house was thought to help woodland spirits who might be clinging to the branches. They would be warmed, sheltered and add to the festivity of the season.
Jay Searcy, author of the "The Last Reunion," grew up in Oak Ridge, the secret headquarters for the Manhattan Project in World War II.
He was one of 11,000 children from all over America who were thrown together during the war while their parents worked secretly around the clock.
Many did not know that they were creating the most devastating weapon in history and ushering in the Atomic Age.
Today those children are in their mid-70s, the last living generation to have witnessed the Oak Ridge miracle.

As we come to the end of November, we are face to face with some important celebrations: Thanksgiving, the day of St. Andrew, the national emblem of Scotland, and the beginning of Advent in the Christian faith that leads up to Christmas.
It is common knowledge that Thanksgiving began in New England as the Pilgrims' celebration of gratitude for being alive and prospering after their first year of deprivation in the New World.
Candlelit visits to traditionally decorated historic buildings, glimpses of 1880s Rugby Christmases, seasonal music, an award-winning film and mural at the Rugby Visitor Centre & Theatre and a traditional Victorian dinner all await visitors to Christmas at Historic Rugby.
The annual holiday fundraiser will be on Dec. 3 at the British-founded museum village atop the Cumberland Plateau.
A number of holiday festivities are planned in conjunction with Oliver Springs' annual Christmas parade on Dec. 3.
The opening ceremony starts at 3:30 p.m. at the court of flags on East Tri County Boulevard.
The parade line-up will begin at 4:45 p.m. at Arrowhead Park. The parade will begin at 5:30 and follow the traditional parade through town and end back at Arrowhead Park.
Following the conclusion of the parade there will be Christmas caroling at the old Presbyterian Church at 7 p.m.
Experience the magic of Christmas during the annual Tour of Homes in the picturesque Rockwood, nestled at the foot of the mountain.
Seven stately homes will be featured during this year's tour on Dec. 3-4. Tour hours are from 1 to 7 p.m. Saturday and from 1 to 6 p.m. Sunday.
An authentic storyteller will perform for this year's event.
In downtown Rockwood will be the grand opening of Found, an art gallery featuring area artists and décor from Glitterville and One Hundred 80 Degrees.

Title: Few blooms on native Bignonia capriolata (cross-vine)
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I have an 8-year-old crossvine that has grown and bloomed beautifully until this year. During the winter it lost all of its lower leaves. What leaves were left had brownish-red splotches on them. It has begun to grow now and has a few blooms at the very top of the trellis. The new leaves look healthy green--no splotches. Two questions: 1. Are the splotches on the old leaves significant? (I can send a picture if you want to see) and 2. How can I get leaf coverage (and ultimately flowers) again on the lower 4/5 of the trellis?
Two vines that are frequently confused with each other are Bignonia capreolata (crossvine) and Campsis radicans (trumpet creeper). Their blooms and growth habit are very similar, thus the confusion, but the trumpet creeper tends to be much more aggressive, putting out suckers and sometimes damaging structures. We will assume you have crossvine, and the solutions for both are basically the same.
The sudden leaf loss is a little disturbing, but a late frost, or the plant being allowed to get excessively dry might have produced that problem. This is a plant with no significant insect or disease damage, but might sometimes show small spots of sooty mold or mildew. This could be the product of poor circulation. We are inclined to believe it is something in the culture of your plants, rather than pests, that is causing your problems. Basically, flowering bushes need more sun and less nitrogen. If your plant is not getting a lot of sunlight, it can survive, tolerating shade, but it will not bloom as well. And, if you have been fertilizing with a high nitrogen lawn fertilizer, that can certainly cut down on blooms. If you wish to fertilize your crossvine, switch to a high phosphorus formula just before blooming period.
Finally, we suspect that your plant needs a good grooming. Many gardeners cut it down very severely after the bloom period. This will always inspire a plant to try to do better, before it gets taken down altogether. It may be putting so much energy into growing those thick stems that little is left over for blooms and leaves, but every plant needs to bloom in order for the species to survive. Not only that, trimming may also permit more sun to reach the bulk of the plant, as well as improving the air circulation. Crossvines like lots of water (but can survive pretty dry) and nutrients. Compost mixed into the soil will both add nutrients and improve drainage around the roots. So, basically, feed it a little better, maybe water a little more, give the soil a nice dose of nutrients, cut out the nitrogen-high fertilizer, and tidy the plant up once or twice a year. It's a very tough native plant, and your hummingbirds will thank you for what you do.

And yet no ute's are even mentioned, again. And not only that Jamal Williams is on the list as well, that means 2 of BYU rb's are on it. At this point it is something along the line of 7 players for BYU for 14 awards to 1 player for 1 award from utah. This just doesn't seem to be in line with the chris b, az ute, and general utah "fan" claims of athletic superiority. If that was true wouldn't it be more, many more, utah players being up for these awards?

The reason for the watchlist nominations is because BYU is on TV every week. The ESPN contract is helping to get Cougars noteriety. Utah has no national presence so there is really no hope of winning a national award. No Ute has ever won a national award. The BYU national awards list is too long to type here. BYU is a national brand and is recognized as such. On the national landscape the Uties are a joke. No awards, no bowl games and no winning seasons again....ever

BRAINTREE – This was a little black cat who brought on its own bad luck.
A crew of Braintree firefighters helped change that luck by rescuing the kitten from the engine compartment of a car on Friday.
The kitten apparently was inside the compartment while the car was being driven from Holbrook to the parking lot of an office building at 150 Grossman Drive in Braintree, said Lt. Kenneth Galvin of the Braintree Fire Department.
"We could see the cat, we could hear the cat, we just couldn't get to the cat," Galvin said.
He said wires and parts of the engine blocked access from above to the tight spot where the frightened kitten was hiding .
So firefighters jacked up the car, took off the Nissan Maxima's front passenger-side wheel, but even that didn't enable them to reach the kitten.
"We had to take apart some of the wheel well to reach up" and grab the cat," Galvin said.
The rescue effort began at 11:30 a.m. and took 20 to 30 minutes to complete, he said.
After getting a drink of water provided by a spectator, the kitten was taken by the town's animal control officer to a local veterinarian for a checkup.
The owner of the car, identified only as a Holbrook woman, told firefighters the kitten wasn't hers, but she said she would check to see if the animal belonged to a neighbor.
A firefighter for 25 years, Galvin said he has helped rescue cats before – but from trees, not engine compartments.

Skip to comments.Pelosi seeks pension vote anulled (REPUBS CALL THE COPS ON HOUSE DEMONICRATS!)
Posted on 07/18/2003 11:10:08 AM PDT by SierraWasp
1:41PM Pelosi seeks pension vote anulled by Corbett B. Daly
WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called for House of Representatives to annul the approval in the House Ways and Means Committee of a bill that would change pension laws. Earlier in the day, House Republicans called the police after Democrats walked out of a House committee vote on pension reforms. Pelosi called it an "indignity" to call the police on the Democrats. The Democrats had objected to a procedural move by committee Chairman Bill Thomas, R-Calif., and tried to delay the vote. While Democrats were out of the room, Thomas pushed the bill through unanimously on a voice vote. A Republican staffer asked Capitol Police to remove the Democrats from the room where they had taken refuge. The Democrats left on their own. The bill approved was a substitute for the Portman-Cardin pension bill, which would alter the way companies calculate pension liabilities and would also reform IRA and 401(k) plans.

It is in the breaking news sidebar!
And you call walking out dignified? Taking your cues from the Texas Democrats, I see.
Is there a specific reason the staffer asked them to leave, or was he just trying to bother them? If they were disrupting something in that room that the GOP had a right to do, and they wouldn't leave when asked, what's wrong with calling the police?
What the hell does she know about dignity?!
God bless this staffer! Care to venture a guess regarding which member he serves?
Tom "our hero" DeLay?
Turning to C-SPAN now. Is Sheila Jackson Lee in jail?
That's exactly right!
Thay ain't gottan original thot in their danged liberul branes!!!
Was she always like that, or has the botox injected in her face started leaking into her brain?
She probably did just learn the word..I don't belong to any party but I hope the GOP rolls over the Dummycrats on this one.
This is great!
Man, I bet you have some wild stories! Are you implying the Dems have been looking for a physical fight? Why would they want that? Although Bill Thomas is a jerk (always has sided with the RINOs in California and is NOT a warm and fuzzy guy) I can't imagine he or one of his staff calling the cops if they didn't think there was a real problem. What's your take on this?
This is great!
I'm not sure at what altitude she's been laying at, bethelgrad, but she probably feels she's been annointed to lay upon high!!!
She's so daft, she probably can't remember laying anything but EGGS!!!

County Departments Become More Paper-less
As directed by the County Executive, last year the County launched a paper and printing reduction initiative intended to reduce costs while reducing the environmental impact of government operations and building on the County's strong track record of environmental leadership. The goal was to cut paper use 15% in a year and reduce the environmental impact of the approximately 66 million sheets of paper, thereby saving the County roughly $1 million.
Through the hard work of County employees, the initial goal has been exceeded. In FY10, County departments achieved a 20% reduction in direct paper purchases and a 40% reduction from the original FY10 budget in print and mail expenditures, for a savings of $2.09 million.

NC soldier dies after fight over Jimmy Buffet song
Published: Tuesday, January 6, 2009 at 7:48 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 6, 2009 at 4:35 p.m.
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) An Army Special Forces sergeant based in North Carolina died in a Colorado ski town after a bar fight triggered by an argument over a Jimmy Buffet song playing on a jukebox.
The military identified the soldier as Sgt. First Class Richard Lopez, 37, of the 7th Special Forces Group at Fort Bragg.
Police said Lopez and two of his friends played the song at the Tap House bar and two other people started arguing with them over it. Lopez's family told The Denver Post the song was "Margaritaville."
One of the bar's co-owners said the groups were kicked out at about 12:15 a.m. Friday and no punches were thrown inside the bar.
But police said Lopez was unconscious when they arrived. He was airlifted to Denver Health Medical Center and was pronounced dead Monday morning.
Capt. Joel Rae said police have interviewed two people involved in the fight but no one has been arrested.
"This is a very sad and serious case," he said.
Rae said the suspects in the case have fled the area and hired attorneys.
Rae said that one of Lopez's friends was also in the Army, while the other was in the Navy. Police said they were also injured in the fight.
All three were on military leave, Rae said.

Fitch Ratings gives 'strong indications' it plans to revise Queensland's AA+ rating down to AA within weeks
- From: The Courier-Mail
- June 12, 2012
QUEENSLAND'S battered credit rating looks set to take another hit with ratings agency Fitch preparing to downgrade the state's outlook yet again.
The Courier-Mail can reveal Fitch Ratings last week met with Queensland Treasury and gave "strong indications" it planned to revise its AA+ rating down to AA within weeks.
It is understood Fitch, which first foreshadowed a possible downgrade a year ago, has again cast doubt about forecast economic growth amid the eurozone crisis and slowing Chinese markets, while also raising concerns at the state's high debt level, already at $62 billion and set to reach $85 billion by 2014-15.
The move would knock confidence and increase borrowing costs for the fledgling Newman Government, which is attempting to bring the state's overblown Budget back to surplus by 2014-15.
The prediction comes as former federal treasurer Peter Costello prepares to deliver an interim report into the state's finances on Friday.
The audit, a key LNP election promise, was lauded as a way to chart a path back to the AAA credit rating but is likely to be loaded with more bad news.
Treasurer Tim Nicholls said Queensland was in the grip of a "debt crisis" never seen before and warned of "tough decisions" in his first Budget on September 11.
Queensland was stripped of its AAA in early 2009 under the former Bligh government and Fitch went further last July, revising its rating to AA+ with a "negative" outlook - at odds with the "steady" outlook maintained by other major ratings agencies.
There are concerns other ratings agencies could follow any Fitch move.

The computation of the fundamental matrix given a set of point correspondences between two images has been the critical point of research for decades. The fundamental matrix should be of rank two for all the epipolar lines to intersect in a unique epipole. Traditional methods of enforcing the rank two property of the matrix are to parameterize the fundamental matrix during the estimation. This usually results in a system of nonlinear multivariable equations of higher degree and it is hard to solve. This paper presents an effective method to solve the typical nonlinear multivariable equations encountered in the fundamental matrix estimation with rank constraint. The method is based on the classical Lagrange multipliers method. After careful transformations of the problem, we reduce the solution of multivariable nonlinear equations to the solution of some single variable equations.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — June 24, 2011 — Clearwell Systems, Inc., a leader in intelligent e–discovery, today announced findings from a survey conducted in conjunction with analyst firm Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG). The survey, titled "Trends in E-Discovery: Cloud and Collection," highlights the rise of litigation, the enterprise trend toward bringing e-discovery in-house, and, in particular, the growing impact of cloud computing and social media on electronic discovery. These mediums will double in importance and scope for e-discovery this year, according to respondents. The survey results were based upon responses gathered from more than a hundred Fortune 2000 enterprises and government agencies.
According to the results, 30 percent of respondents reported cloud-based applications as in-scope for e-discovery in 2010. In 2011, that number is expected to jump to 60 percent, illustrating the pervasiveness of cloud computing as part of corporate IT infrastructure and the need for companies to be in control of their data both inside and outside of their firewalls. Yet despite the rising importance of cloud-based applications in e-discovery, only one quarter of respondents deemed their organization truly prepared to handle e-discovery requests involving the cloud. When asked why they were unprepared to respond to the necessary cloud-related requests, 39 percent stated they had no prior need, while an alarming 37 percent reported their organization had simply no defined policy for discovery of cloud-based applications.
Key survey findings include:
"The recent Texas court ruling allowing Facebook accounts to be screened as part of the jury selection process is just one example of the increasing importance of social media in the legal industry," said Brian Babineau, vice president, Research and Analyst Service, Enterprise Strategy Group. "In addition, our research indicates that 34 percent of companies are currently using cloud-based applications and another 21 percent plan to, which means that e-discovery activities will have to incorporate these new enterprise data sources. –These two market trends exacerbate the urgency for enterprises to take the necessary precautions and implement the proper processes to meet the ever-changing demands of rising litigation requests. Organizations must proactively address cloud computing and social media as part of their overall e-discovery strategies, or otherwise expose themselves to magnified risk and added expense."
"The explosion of electronic data coupled with the continuous rise in litigation has pushed e-discovery to become a core business process for organizations in every industry," said Kamal Shah, vice president of products and marketing at Clearwell Systems. "The results of this survey illustrate how important it is for companies to adapt their e-discovery strategies to address new technologies and data sources, like cloud computing and social media, or be at risk of non-compliance. Solutions such as the Clearwell E-Discovery Platform, which provides Microsoft BPOS and full SharePoint support, help corporations manage these ever-evolving mediums, take greater control of the e-discovery process, and mitigate risk."
ESG's full report and analysis of the survey findings can be downloaded from Clearwell's web site at http://info.clearwellsystems.com/wp-esg-research-survey.html.

Harbor Hospital in south Baltimore needed just the right person to serve as the first school health resource coordinator in its Healthy Schools Healthy Families program, designed to help elementary and middle school students in the surrounding Cherry Hill learning zone.
The hospital found who it was looking for in Calvert Moore, RN, MS.
Moore is master's educated in community public health and nursing, she has a passion for working with children and, perhaps most important, she can empathize with the students in the financially challenged Cherry Hill area.
"I'm from this community, and some of my family still lives in this area, so a lot of what I see I already knew," Moore said in a phone conversation after pulling herself away from a noisy, bustling lunchroom at one of the four schools she serves.
According to the website for Towson University, a sponsor in the Healthy Schools Healthy Families program, the Cherry Hill area was developed as a planned community for African-American veterans returning from World War II and remains largely African-American. The majority of households are headed by single females.
Bolstered by a $50,000 donation from Bank of America, Harbor Hospital put $100,000 toward launching the program, which serves about 1,400 students.
The way Harbor Hospital president Dennis Pullin sees it, the program is a way for the hospital to give back to the local community.
"It was a charge from me to the team here at Harbor Hospital to focus on a progam that the community would benefit from," Pullin said. "We collectively decided that: What better area to have an impact on than kids and their health?
"Hopefully, by teaching kids and family members how to better take care of themselves, and to live healthier lives and reduce incidences of diabetes and hypertension, not as many show up in my emergency room — not as many utilize our emergency room as their primary care."
Pullin said the key to raising more funds to sustain the program will be proving it is successful. That's why finding the right person for the job was so important.
In Moore, Harbor hired someone not only with the right skills, but with a passion for what she's doing.
Although she has been on the job for only about four months, Moore has implemented separate evidence-based health programs for each of the four elementary/middle schools she serves: Cherry Hill, Patapsco, Arundel and Carter G. Woodson. She has joined numerous school committees and is in the process of developing a resource guide for the Cherry Hill area that she hopes to complete by this summer.
Among the school-specific program topics are STD prevention, medication safety and anger management.
"Even though all four schools are within walking distance [of each other], they all wanted something different," Moore said. "For each school, I wanted to make sure they felt involved. I didn't want them to feel like I was coming in saying, 'This is what I think your school needs,' because that's not my role at all."
Moore said she believes it's important to gain the trust of the students' parents, and she has organized parent seminars on a variety of topics, including one on talking to children about sex. She also has tried to find as many resources and individual contacts within the community as possible, so when a parent or student asks a question, she can direct them to the right person and place.
"I feel it's important, especially for the parents, to know who is interacting with their kids," Moore said. "I just want them to get to know me and feel free to call me any time they need anything or have a question."
Moore can envision a day when the Healthy Schools Healthy Families program expands to have a health resource coordinator in each school in the Cherry Hill learning zone, including the two high schools.
Until then, Moore plans to build support for her programs within the schools and the community. She realizes there's a lot of work to do, but she's not complaining.
"I love what I do," Moore said, sounding eager to return to the lunchroom. "I love working with the students."

I see no point in using scizor as a sweeper when alot of the others are much better sweepers. And a scizor with agility, sword dance, metal claw, could potentially sweep any pokemon who doesn't resist it.
I feel like adding in a danphon (since excadrill is uber) by passing him a sword dance and an agilitu he will surprise anybody.
scizor needs to be my support cause he needs to pass the speef boost to plow through an unprepared team. With baton pass I can also, if needed pass the boosts to mienshao. So drain punch will ohko and restore life orb, stone edge for coverage, making him hard to counter... Actually this whole team will be hard to counter. Wich ever pokemon comes in play will be ripped to shreads by this wall breaking team.
Many people depend on setting up and wearing an appoment down. But toxic teams will useless. After 2 sword sance a gatvhomp can kill 6 pokemon with 6 earth quakes( if it resists earthquake I have dragon claw or fire fang) this sweep can be achieved by one pokemon. I have 6, thats six diffetent chances to sweep. Any team will be caught off gaurd by this set. But youre right a dual screener like latias will fill in the open spaces. So I'll most likey take out ch cauelure or mienshao

Bernanke Wants to Ensure Volcker Rule Doesn't Impair Liquidity
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said the Fed will attempt to ensure a regulation aimed at limiting risk-taking by banks doesn't impede liquidity in global financial markets.
"The Volcker rule raises a lot of complexities, including some international differences," Bernanke said today in reply to audience questions after a speech in Stone Mountain, Georgia.
"We have heard a number of concerns made" from regulators outside the U.S. that liquidity in foreign government securities could be impaired, Bernanke said. The Fed will "support the market making function and the liquidity in critical financial markets," he said.
The so-called Volcker rule, named for its original champion, former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker, is aimed at reducing the odds that banks will make risky investments with their own capital and put depositors' money at risk.
Bernanke said on Feb. 29 that the central bank and other regulators won't meet the July deadline to complete work on the Volcker rule. The Fed has received over 17,000 comment letters on the proposal.

I put off writing a review here, because directly after our trip I felt like my words cannot do this amazing place justice. And they still can't - but I cannot put this off any longer.
I think about this place almost every day, and how much I would love to return. I celebrated my 40th birthday here, with my husband and baby son, and we just had the MOST amazing and memorable experience. The riad itself is beautiful and tranquil, with the smell of jasmine wafting gently around. We ate here the first night, and had the most delicious and authentic tagine, and just a lovely relaxed dining experience that was amongst the best of our holiday - and full marks to the amazing staff team, who could not do enough for us, from tasty babyfood served on a gold platter for our 8 month old, to delicious breakfasts, to refreshing drinks after pounding the pavements.
But the most memorable thing of all for us were our hosts Giorgina and Massimmo - whose warm heartedness and helpfulness made us feel like old friends rather than new guests. They welcomed us with a kind of openness we have never experienced anywhere else in the world before, and suspect will never again. They gave the best cuddles to our baby son, and were always on hand with helpful advice, directions, offers of tea, places to go, how to observe local custom, and how not to get ripped off by taxi drivers. Nothing was too much trouble, and they bought a personal touch to everything. The warmth and humility of this lovely couple is what we take as our lasting memory of Marrakech. Its a beautiful city, made all the better by these lovely people and an amazing place to stay. Book your stay at this hidden gem now, it will be one of the loveliest of your life.
Thankyou peronally Giorgina and Massimmo, from Julie, Roger and baby Edward xx

What we know after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Washington visit this week: both the Israeli leader and President Obama have decided that for various reasons it's best not to be quarreling, especially in public. Both have a strong vested interest in restoring the public trappings of the "special" U.S.-Israel relationship.
The problem is what we don't know; the pomp-rich visit leaves us with more questions than answers:
- Did Obama make nice because he plans aggressive new Israeli-Palestinian diplomacy, but learned the hard way that he has to convince the Israelis he's on their side?
Or was his charm offensive mostly political, an effort to avert any Israel-related controversy until after the November elections?
And does he still think there is a real opportunity for peace, or has he decided that conditions just aren't right for progress, and that it makes no sense to stake his administration's foreign policy credibility on something that just isn't going to happen? We don't know the answer to that despite the hopeful words coming out of the mouths of both leaders.
- Do Netanyahu's gestures – including the more open talk about a two-state solution and hints of new flexibility on Jerusalem that came in his talk to Conference of Presidents leaders on Wednesday – signal a genuine willingness to engage in the kind of peace process President Obama has been pushing?
Or were they most PR – a kind of bluff based on his expectation that Palestinian leaders will balk if the direct talks he advocates look like they're actually going to happen?
- Is Netanyahu pledging now to "take risks" because he means it, or because his assessment is that President Obama is too weak and maybe too worried about the upcoming congressional midterms and his own 2012 reelection prospects to jump into risk-filled Middle East mediation efforts?
- If direct talks do become a possibility, will Netanyahu seek to limit their scope, or will he agree to take up "final status" issues like Jerusalem – issues that could blow his right-of-center government apart?
- What about the Palestinians? Will they continue to resist direct talks, and thus play into Netanyahu's hands? Will they accept the call to sit down with the Israelis, but insist that the talks jump to final status issues right away?
- Will the Obama administration become more forceful in pressing the Palestinians, who have been content to sit back and wait for Washington to wrest concessions from Netanyahu, to make serious confidence building gestures?
- What will Netanyahu do about the soon-expiring 10 month freeze on settlement construction, and what did he promise Obama in private? A large-scale resumption of building could blow this week's amity out of the water; there's a lot of speculation that the two leaders agreed to a formula that would limit building, but not force Netanyahu to talk about it public.

With all the news about Bush and illegal spying, this front-and-center Pulitzer bid by the NYT, published on Monday, has gotten lost in the mix.
Basically, the reporter stumbles upon a repentant longtime teen webcam porn star and turns him into a de facto undercover super sting operative. It's an amazing turn of events. Thanks to the intrepid NYT, the feds now have a series of sex predators in their snares, including the boy's father. It's a righteous and riveting story….but….
There's something weird about the story. I can't quite put my finger on it.
First from a reporting standpoint. There are a couple of oddities: The story never fully explains how the financial mechanics of the boy's business worked. That is, how he actually managed all the money. (For example, how was he avoiding paying taxes on such a lucrative business?). Also, his mom's absenteeism is curious. The kid purchases loads of tech equipment and rents an apartment near his house, and the mom is oblivious.
Intellectually, the story also raises more questions than it answers.
For a great deal of the time, the teen didn't have a pimp type adult forcing him into this life. So, it's not exactly clear to me what the grave issue is. Yes, it's legally child pornography (so, that's obviously a problem), but it raises a thorny issue around moral judgment: Who's the victim? Adults shouldn't be paying a 17-year-old to jerk off on-line, but, again, it was his own business, and he was quite savvy and proactive about luring people onto him. (He even uses cutthroat tactics to put a competitor out of business.)
Eventually, his estranged father enters the picture and starts procuring prostitutes for him, so he can have on-line sex, and yes, at that point in the story, there's definitely some fucked up, illegal shit going on. The teen also has adult fans who fly him out for trips to Vegas and abuse him…and that's fucked up child abuse.
But the on-line stuff is still a bit gray to me. I know that adults have money and power to lure the kid, and the article addresses that, but it also raises some (unintentional, I believe) questions about civil liberties on-line.
Did anyone read this story?

Dongola, Ontario
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dongola is an unincorporated community in the Canadian province of Ontario, located within the single-tier municipality of Kawartha Lakes at the intersection of Kawartha Lakes Road 45 (Monck Road) and Road 42 (Base Line Road). The former post-office village contains several households and no businesses. Today, Dongola is all but a ghost town. The site resembles any nearby rural area, surrounded by farmland and forests, with no signs of a centralized built-up area.
The Dongola post office was opened on 1 June 1900, occupying three postmasters. It remained in place until 2 November 1936, when the nearby Coboconk post office established a rural route through the village.[1]

I booked this hotel as a treat for my partner before my deployment to Afghanistan next week, this hotel seemed to offer everything and at a great "introductory" price. How wrong was I!!
On arrival we drove to the back of the hotel to a non-descript drop off area and had to leave the car in the middle of the driveway as space is very tight. Carrying our own bags to reception we asked to book in, the receptionist started the check in and informed us the swimming pool, sauna and steam room were not functional due to not having a licence yet!
I had booked this hotel as it had the facilities to enjoy our stay during the day and go into town in the evenings. We expressed our disappointment to the receptionist who explained she'd try to upgrade our room to one with a Jacuzzi. After 30 minutes she came to us and showed us a room (214) it was an impressive room with copious amounts of space although a lot was the corridor into the suite which is wasted space.
The receptionist showed us the room including the "Jacuzzi" bath, after she left we discovered it was just a standard bath, more training required.
The view is of the Thames but more so of one of the areas where all the rubbish is collected from the river... a total mess, beware the helipad right outside the window, as in 25 meters away!!!
It turns out if you want a Jacuzzi bath you don't get a view, which is what we found when we moved to the next room (117) a stunning room with loads of usable space and a massive bathroom complete with double shower and large Jacuzzi bath. This is the room I would have expected originally from what had been described on the website.
Unfortunately the TV in the bathroom doesn't work nor did the iPod docking station.
We eventually got sorted just in time to get downstairs to our waiting free shuttle service to Sloane Sq. however it's currently running to Clapham Jctn instead, not so helpful after all.
The whole debacle made us very late for our evening show and put us in the wrong mood for a comedy night.
It's even down to the little things such as when my car was brought round in the morning the driver left the seat so far forwards I couldn't get in.
It was also left in gear and parked very close to the car in front....basics!
We had originally booked in for two nights but I cancelled the second night due to such disappointment in the hotel and a ruined weekend.
We did get a complimentary breakfast for the trouble which was average.
I'm sorry this had to happen as this hotel has such potential but still has so much more to learn!
The cut price helped ease the annoyance however at full price I'd have to go elsewhere.
