An oral sex act where the woman gives a blow job to her partner, he comes in her mouth and she doesn't swallow. Then she immediately kisses and shares the cum with him. He takes it into his mouth, goes down on her and with his tongue, while eating her puts most of the cum into her and over her clit which makes it very slick. Then typically he continues to eat her until she comes herself. Might be the ultimate in crazy hot oral sex between a guy and a woman.
The first snowball kiss was so exciting that afterward we couldn't wait to do it again, but once a night is all we can manage.

snowball kiss is where a chick gives head but doesn't swallow when the guy cums then afterwards kisses him and spits it back into his mouth.
this can either be done before a break-up or for enjoyment.
*if this is going to be performed before a break-up it is wisely suggested to run like hell after it to aviod any hits*

The drama surrounding the rejection began shortly
after when the Federal Communications Commission opened
an inquiry into who was responsible for the rejection of Google
Voice and whether the rejection violated any federal laws or rules.
AT&T quickly
responded that it did not mastermind the rejection, and that it
was Apple's doing. Apple followed up, taking
the blame and say it was working to get the app approved.
came a second
response from AT&T. Apparently in a sharing mood, AT&T
sounded off against Google and complained to the FCC that it believes
Google Voice breaks the law. Since AT&T has allowed
VoIP apps onto the iPhone, but Google Voice is still no where to
be found. Now AT&T has delivered a third
letter to the FCC further attacking the internet giant.
Google has been attacked by many -- newspaper moguls, telecoms, and
internet rivals -- the new letter is perhaps the harshest
conglomerated criticism leveled against the company to date.
Written by Robert W. Quinn, Jr., an AT&T Senior Vice President,
the letter entitled "Google Voice; Establishing Just and
Reasonable Rates for Local Exchange Carriers" opens claiming
Google is a hypocrite when it comes to net neutrality.
Quinn writes:
As the debate regarding "net neutrality" has
evolved, it appeared on the surface that all parties shared the same
desire to preserve the "free and open" nature of the Internet, a
goal enunciated by [FCC] Chairman Genachowski with which we heartily
As communications services increasingly migrate
to broadband Internet-based platforms, we can now see the power of
Internet-based applications providers to act as gatekeepers who can
threaten the "free and open" Internet. Google's double-standard
for "openness" – where Google does what it wants while other
providers are subject to Commission regulations – is plainly
inconsistent with the goal of preserving a "free and open"
Internet ecosystem.
The letter claims that Google's explanation that it is only
blocking certain kinds of rural calls like adult sex-chat lines, to
avoid high fees leveled against the free service, is a lie. The
letter accuses Google of conspiracy, saying it also blocked calls to
an ambulance service, church, bank, law firm, automobile dealer, day
spa, orchard, health clinic, tax preparation service, community
center, eye doctor, tribal community college, school, residential
consumers, a convent of Benedictine nuns, and the campaign office of
a U.S. Representative.
According to AT&T, Google is
"abus[ing] its market power". AT&T insists Google
is not exempt, either from being free or being internet-based, from
federal regulations that prevent such call blocking.
letter also calls Google a monopoly, citing, "In preparing a
complaint to challenge the Google/Yahoo arrangement, the [U.S.]
Department [of Justice] reportedly concluded that Google had a
"monopoly" in these markets and the proposed arrangement "would
have furthered [Google's] monopoly."
Furthermore, AT&T
accuses Google of practicing broad-scale manipulation of the media.
It says that Google blocked political advertisements from Senator
Susan Collins, due to her criticism of Moveon.org, a Google net
neutrality partner. It also accuses Google of blocking the
Inner City Press from Google News, as the publication criticized the
United Nation Development Programme, a Google-sponsored program.
then goes on to accuse Google of illegitimately "buying"
ads in its own auction to push its agenda for keywords such as "net
neutrality". The letter concludes, "Ironically, Google
appears oblivious to the hypocrisy of its net neutrality advocacy
relative to its own conduct. [A]t the same time, Google exploits the
dominance of its search engine and its gatekeeping power over other
applications to give its preferred content greater visibility than
its political opponents' content or to simply block its
competitors' applications altogether."
narrowing the principles to award Google a special privilege to play
by its own rules – or no rules at all – would be grossly unfair,
patently unlawful, and a renunciation of President Obama's
assurance that the Commission's Internet Policy Statement would be
used to "ensure there's a level playing field" between
competitors. Thus, the Commission's first fundamental step in
leveling that playing field must be to unequivocally re-affirm in its
proposed rulemaking that it will not exempt Google from whatever
rules it ultimately adopts."

"Agitate! Agitate! Agitate!" These were the words of Frederick Douglass. He believed strongly that blacks had to unwaveringly struggle for equal rights. "Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will." With this determination, Douglass spoke out against the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. He became one of the most renowned orators and journalists in the fight against enslavement.
Douglass was born into slavery in 1817, near Tuckahoe, Md. He adopted Feb. 14 as his birthday because his mother used to call him her "little valentine." He was mistreated during slavery, and tried to escape. He was sent to a "slave breaker," who whipped him without mercy. Douglass fought back. He successfully escaped on his third try, with assistance from a free black woman named Anna Murray, whom he met in Baltimore. The two later married.
Douglass began reading anti-slavery papers and attending meetings with abolitionists. He became a speaker and quickly earned a reputation of being able to move an audience with his powerful words and descriptions of the horrors of slavery. He wrote "A Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass," which detailed the inhumane treatment of slaves. When the Fugitive Slave Act was passed, Douglass responded with strong words. He wrote that the true remedy to this law was "a good revolver, a steady hand and a determination to shoot down any man attempting to kidnap."
Abolitionists nicknamed the act the "Bloodhound Law" for the dogs that were used to track runaway slaves. Slave catchers were also given the right to search private homes and return fugitives. This harsh law sent thousands of escaped slaves fleeing to Canada. They risked beatings and death, and traveled until they were emaciated. Their goal was to reach the Niagara Frontier and cross the border to Canada.
Prior to becoming president, Millard Fillmore practiced law in East Aurora and took a stand against slavery, defending escaped slaves. However, Fillmore denounced the abolitionists on his way up the political ladder and signed the law in 1850.
As a result of the Fugitive Slave Act, Douglass became a determined agent of the Underground Railroad. By this time he had moved to Rochester. He raised money to assist fugitive slaves, and used his home as a station on the Underground Railroad. Often escaped slaves would be waiting on his doorstep. He helped hundreds to freedom. He enlisted the aid of others in Rochester who were more than willing to help. Douglass established a newspaper called the North Star and used it to speak out against slavery.
Douglass often spoke in Buffalo. As a member of the anti-slavery society, he became involved with the Colored Convention Movement. In 1843, blacks met in Buffalo as part of 100 anti-slavery conventions in several states. A building located at Washington and Seneca streets was used for the first meeting by Douglass and other abolitionists. He spoke each day for a week. He also spoke at the site now known as LaSalle Park to a crowd of about 5,000 people. His eloquent speeches, writings and anti-slavery activities forced the public to become aware of the plight of blacks.
Douglass died on Feb. 20, 1895, of a heart attack. Earlier that day, he had given a speech to the National Council of Negro Women. In 1955, his home in Anacostia, D.C., was purchased as a national shrine under the National Park Service. A commemorative stamp was issued in his honor in 1967. With his voice and pen, he addressed numerous issues, including women's rights, world peace and full civil rights for blacks.
The history of the work of men and women who played major roles as conductors on the Underground Railroad in Western New York has yet to be told. Perhaps one day we will get the whole story.
Eva M. Doyle is a columnist for the Buffalo Criterion newspaper, where this article originally appeared. It is the third of four parts.

Baby Battle: Teen pregnancy still a problem for state
April 23, 2013
Though the rate of pregnancies among teenagers in West Virginia is decreasing, it remains an enormous problem....
I'm honestly not sure to be honest Beep. There are some recent studies on food deserts, places where it is very hard to locate sources of healthy food product, but this is relatively new data that I doubt factored into the decisions about the SNAP overhaul of the food stamp program. It could just be that the program is not currently efficient enough to dedicate resources to the matter, it could be that there is pushback for other unforseen reasons that aren't immediately obvious, or it could be that the abusers of the program have bent the ear of the right people.

"more effectively regulate what recipients buy" With the average supermarket carrying well over 50,000 products and more being introduced daily, I cannot imagine what it would cost to decide which individuals products was acceptable for purchase.

MoralsnValues, very good comments. My best friend in junior high and high school was the son of a preacher and my friend was totally out of control. He ended up leaving school because he was forced into a "shootgun" wedding because of getting a girl pregnant. He did end up becoming very successful in the broadcasting business but his married life was a disaster,many divorces.

"From Martinsburg:
There's someone using the name "Majoritarian" who comments incessantly on every Journal news story, to excess, and in doing so uses The Journal's online site to bully and belittle other commenters. I can't believe The Journal's editors haven't noticed this abuse; why it hasn't been corrected remains a mystery. There should be a general set of standards for comments, moderation in the number of posts a commenter is allowed to write, and some required civility toward others."

Mostly agree Morals, perhaps if SNAP was as regulated as WIC, then we could give a little more than just bread, formula, and milk, but actually save taxpayer dollars and promote people to stand on their own two feet. I don't understand how WIC, being a much smaller program, can much more effectively regulate what recipients buy than SNAP does, when SNAP gets so much more funding. Steak and lobster should not be on the menu, fatty snacks that provide no nutritive value should not be on the menu, soda pop should not be on the menu (and this goes double since it is one of the products most likely to be resold for cash). When we lessen the chance for abuse, we lessen the desire to stay on these programs.

I don't think the answer is in sex education or in religious teachings. Sex ed sure didn't work when I was in school, as most of the student found it funny. Religious teachings don't seem to be any more effective from what I've seen. Sadly, in my experience, the preacher's daughter is the one you need to look out for. I say teach children about good lifestyle decision making. Show them what happens when you have a child too early. Let them know that the plethora of opportunities they have to make something out of their lives is greatly reduced when you make an irresponsible lifestyle decision. Their dreams will become extremely difficult to reach. Our government must also remove the safety nets currently in place. You make a bad decision, you live with it. No govt checks. Milk, formula and bread...fine. That's it.

my morals are just fine for me thank you. I bet you're glad I don't try to impose mine on you; thank you for the same courtesy. In reality; (where I live) the fact is... teens have engaged in sex since time began. It's called hormones coupled with amorous feelings for the first time in their lives. Providing correct information about avoiding pregnancy is the best solution. You want to preach abstinence? Fair enough so long as it presented alongside contraception. How did my children avoid pregnancy? - They were taught basic contraceptive healthcare and basic sex education. A child always makes their own choice as to when to engage in sex. Didn't "you?" or were you raped at the time you lost your virginity? A person with a healthy sex life is far more responsible to society than one with a repressed sex life. Right wing bible thumpers... please join the folks who live in reality and understand kids will always have sex with one another - just like you did

Why doesn't the father of the fetus have a choice? That part I have never understood. Why does the mother have the only say in this matter? What if the father wants the child? And don't reply with "because she has to carry it". That's lame. If the child is born, the father must pay child support. But yet the father has no say in the abortion process. It's not fair and everyone knows it.

Chris Gardner hasn't always been a successful stockbroker, entrepreneur and public speaker. He used to be homeless.
If you go
WHAT: Crisis Ministries' fundraiser dinner and auction, featuring Chris GardnerWHEN: 6 p.m. cocktail reception, 7 p.m. main event, ThursdayWHERE: The Riviera Theater and Ballroom, 227 King St.COST: $150 per person; $500 for VIP passes (includes two tickets)MORE INFO: charlestonhomeless.org; 843-737-8384
For a year during the 1980s, he scrambled to keep his world from falling apart. He obsessed about protecting the 14-month-old son in his custody. He connived to convince people in the business world that he was legitimate, smart, competent. He scratched his way back.
His story became a bestselling 2006 autobiography called "The Pursuit of Happyness," which was quickly made into a popular Hollywood movie. Gardner will be the featured speaker at Crisis Ministries' live auction fundraiser on Thursday.
In a telephone interview this week, he spoke mostly about the challenges of parenting, the importance of family, professional success and something he called "spiritual genetics," but it was evident that his year in the streets had made a profound impact.
"Once you've had that experience, it never leaves you," he said. In his comfortable Chicago home today, one finds a lot of luggage scattered about. Why? Because a homeless man depends on bags — symbols of impermanence and readiness.
"When you start a small business, you start with limited or no resources," he said. "How do you prepare to be an entrepreneur? Try being homeless for a year."
Gardner recalled what his mother had told him: Son, I've had to do so much with so little for so long, I've learned to do everything with nothing.
Creative and unorthodox maneuvers helped to keep him going, like when he went to visit his clients in person, without an appointment, after his phone had been cut off for nonpayment. That bought him an extra week to get the phone bill paid.
"They don't teach you that at Harvard," Gardner said.
All of his life, family life and professional pursuits have been interwoven, first when he was considering a career in medicine, then when he turned to the world of finance.
"I am talking to people constantly about doing something they're passionate about, but you've got to be realistic, too." Don't wait for the perfect time, because there's no such thing. As for his efforts to strike a balance between family and career, Gardner didn't have to think long before answering: "In a tie, family wins."
In May 2008, he delivered the commencement address at Hampton College, where his daughter Jacintha became the first in his family to earn a college degree.
"I'm so glad I acknowledged the fact that she was first in the family to walk across that stage," he said. "So many other people came up to me to say my grandson, my niece, he was the first, she was the first. That is a huge deal." He said he went out of his way to acknowledge the many single parents who shared in their children's successes.
Today, Jacintha is an interior designer who recently started her own business (with financing from dad). His son, Chris Jr., is a music producer with a 5-year-old daughter.
His worst mistake as a father was to spoil his kids, he said.
"I gave them too much," Gardner said. "I tried to give them all that stuff I never had, thinking I was going to make them better people. But what you learn is, you're not making them better people, you're just giving them better stuff."
His own father was not in his life, and his stepfather told him everyday, "I ain't your daddy." Gardner was 5 when he promised himself he would never be like that.
"When you grow up, you can do one of two things, perpetuate it or go the other way. I chose to go the other way."
And this he attributed to "spiritual genetics" which, unlike biological genetics, over which no one has any control, is a set of choices.
"I saw the light in my mother and others with whom I did not share a single drop of blood, and I embraced it," Gardner said. "Science can tell you a lot, with a high degree of certainty. But nothing under that microscope is going tell (that scientist) why you became what you are as a man or woman."

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
NIH's National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has revamped its Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant program, by refocusing on supporting projects that advance translational and genetic medicine aimed at substance-abuse drug discovery.
"We're interested in areas of genetics, in terms of smoking cessation, pharmacogenomics, treatment of substance abuse, and particularly right now, issues related to prescription substance abuse," Jonathan D. Pollock, Ph.D., chief of the Genetics and Molecular Neurobiology Research Branch at NIDA's Division of Basic Neuroscience and Behavioral Research, told GEN.
NIDA operates on a series of rolling deadlines for project submissions. The upcoming deadline, January 7, 2013, is one of three set aside for AIDS and AIDS-related applications via NIH as well as FDA, CDC, and the Administration for Children and Families; the others are May 7 and September 7. The agencies accept standard applications on April 5, August 5, and December 5. Funding priorities for all agencies and units like NIDA can be found in a formal "omnibus" solicitation available at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/sbir.htm.
In addition to that solicitation, Dr. Pollock said, the branch is interested in supporting commercialization and development of products, resources, and services through SBIR/STTR relevant to brain research. They include protein capture reagents, proteomics, genomics, pharmacogenomics, molecular diagnostics, nanotechnology, gene delivery and viral vectors, identification of RNA and DNA sequences in formalin fixed nervous tissue, shRNA, microfluidics, epigenetics diagnostics, therapeutics, and tools to detect epigenetic modifications.
The branch is also looking to support commercialization and development of biomarkers, optogenetics, reagents for iPS and neural stem cells, technologies to uniquely barcode cell types, improved super resolution microscopy methods, in vivo gene expression imaging, automated sectioning, image acquisition and 3D reconstruction of electron micrographic sections, genetically encoded markers for electron microscopy, and "big" genomic and proteomic data, including data visualization, data contextualization, and data analysis.
"What we're really looking for is products that you could basically commercialize coming out of research. These can be things that are either products or services. I think that there are opportunities, particularly for groups of individuals that have an idea, IP, and want to have a startup company."
SBIR/STTR grants account for 2.8% of NIDA's roughly $1 billion annual budget. NIDA spent $26.679 million on SBIR and STTR in fiscal year 2012, which ended September 30—up from $26.497 million in FY 2011. The number of SBIR/STTR research projects grants rose to 56 in FY 2012 from 44 a year earlier.

You know, these guys were so big that we sometimes forget how great they really were. This compilation's a great reminder, and it's filled with some killer 70's soul tracks like the totally sublime original version of "Love Don't Live Here Any More", a cut that still sends shivers down our spines, even if Madonna totally ruined it a few years ago. Other nice ones include "Ooh Boy", "Wishing On A Star", "You're On My Mind", "I Wonder Where You Are Tonight", "First Come First Serve", "Is It Love You're After", and the obligatory "Car Wash". © 1996-2016, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

For more than 20 years, USF2000 has earned its reputation as the entry-level pro series of choice for career-minded open-wheel drivers. The story started in 1990 when Doug Powell launched the West Coast-based USAC F2000 series. Two years later in 1992, Dan Andersen (alongside partner Mike Foschi) started an Eastern version of the series, and the SCCA simultaneously introduced its own version, called the American Continental Championship. All three series utilized the same F2000 technical regulations.
During the 1994 season, the Eastern USAC F2000 series absorbed both the Western and SCCA series, and a unified series now called the USF2000 Championship debuted in 1995 under the management of Andersen's organization. The championship blossomed, enjoying strong fields of 40-60 cars per event, and many of its alumni climbed the ladder to the top seats in open-wheel and sports car racing.
USF2000 continued to gain in strength and recognition in the ensuing seasons, and in 2001, management was turned over to Jon Baytos, who continued its operation until the conclusion of the 2006 season. For three years no events were run under the USF2000 banner, but in late 2009, with encouragement from INDYCAR, Dan Andersen resurrected the USF2000 Championship, and it operates now, in 2014, in its 22nd season of competition as the Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda, the first official step on the Mazda Road to Indy ladder system.
Throughout its existence, USF2000 has included events on three types of venues popular in North America – natural road courses, street (or temporary) circuits and ovals. To provide proper training for drivers advancing on the Mazda Road to Indy ladder to IndyCar Series careers, the three track genres are essential, and the USF2000 method includes now, as it always did, top driver coaching at all events to maximize the opportunities for drivers to be properly prepared.
The current USF2000 series benefits from significant partnerships with Mazda of North America, Cooper Tires, Van Diemen/Élan with support from Carl Haas Auto, and INDYCAR, as well as many additional associations. Its equipment package is proven with the Mazda-powered cars providing excellent reliability, and Cooper Tires providing the ultimate blend of grip and durability. The Van Diemen chassis, provided by Élan and Carl Haas, is still the state of the art in F2000 competition. With sanctioning from INDYCAR, USF2000 offers a tremendous package.
Competitors enjoy a terrific schedule of high profile events, culminating in a Mazda scholarship and prize package to ensure the champion's graduation to the next level, the Pro Mazda Championship Presented by Cooper Tires. Highlight show television coverage on the NBC Sports Network and MOTORS TV in Europe combined with a thorough training program provided by both the series staff and the Mazda Road to Indy, make it the clear choice for aspiring drivers. The series maintains a cost-effective platform with appropriate restrictions on teams to curb any excessive spending, and the resulting competition is fantastic.
The Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda is where tomorrow's stars race today.

Airport terminal building pushed back until 2016
May 11, 2013
Originally scheduled to be completed at the end of this year, Williamsport Regional Airport Authority officials said Thursday that plans for a new terminal building have been pushed back more than 2......
Nope, I hope I won't run over anything, Almost hit a turkey tonight.

My daughter used the airport today Rick. Where else in America can you sit in a nice rocking chair and wait for your relatives arrival. Not only that, but you can park your car less than 50 feet from the baggage claim area. To coin an old Cajun phrase, We got it good in Williamsport, yah!

Maybe now they can use the Act 13 money for something else, you know, the townships directly affected by the drilling. Close the airport down, we don't need it. Texas, I am sure the environmental studies are more than a few chipmunks. Typical right wing comment.
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Totally agree with you texasfrompa, those tree hugging rainbow people are out of hand holding the airport hostage for a million buck. I wonder whose brother runs the company that is going to get the money to write a report saying exactly what you said in a few more words. Just post your address we will mail you $100 for your time and send your comment in for the enviromental study and get this project underway.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Maybe it's the current administrations way of not having to fund the new terminal and leaving it to the next administration to take the heat when they are the ones that announce the project is dead. All the while, somebody is playing around spending the money set aside for this project on other pet projects.
4 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
3 and 1/2 year delay. My guess is that someone knows the airport and the project are doomed and this is a way to stop any near term improvements
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
"Funding now consists of $1 million Act 13 money for the FAA environmental assessment and facility design;"
I am not a fan to spend $13.4 MM to build a new building so maybe the delay is a plus. But being delayed by an environmental study for what? What value does it add except creating a couple of "green" jobs!
You create some air emissions from vehicles and construction equipment during constructions; you put some containment under some diesel tanks so they don't leak and run off into the river; you increase the use of some water and sanitary waste systems during construction; a surge in the number of cigarette butts that go to the trash; add a few trash bins for the increased trash; a few chipmunks come and eat some leftover food from the workers; big deal. What a waste of taxpayers money to do the study!

NEW CUMBERLAND, W.Va. - The sale of Newell Memorial Field and the old Jimmy Carey Stadium in Weirton ended as unceremoniously as it began.
Hancock County commissioners sent their payment of $400,000 for the stadium properties to the Hancock County school board late last week, as soon as the deeds were recorded with the county, Commissioner Jeff Davis said.
"That sale has been finalized, and it is finished," Superintendent Suzan Smith said.
School board President Jerry Durante said he signed the deeds last week. "I'm just glad that it's over," he said. "I'm sure that the commissioners will do the right thing. There's no question in my mind."
The deeds include the stadium properties and the surrounding acreage, including all surface rights and any oil, gas and mineral rights. The Newell property is 4.25 acres, and the Weirton property is about 10 acres.
Both are considered turn-key purchases, meaning the properties are ready for immediate occupation. The fencing, bleachers, lights and press boxes also are part of the purchase, according to the written agreement between the school board and the commissioners.
With the purchase, commissioners become responsible for the underground gasoline tanks at the Weirton location, including any remediation or abatement work that is necessary, according to the agreement. The Weirton stadium includes a maintenance building and a school bus parking facility.
Commissioners also are responsible for the demolition, salvage, maintenance or repair of the stadiums, depending on what they determine to be in the best interest of the county, according to the agreement.
The agreement gives the school district 36 months to vacate the Weirton maintenance building and its parking lot. The school board already has begun the process of moving the maintenance department to district-owned property behind the John D. Rockefeller IV Career Center on state Route 2.
Davis said it's too early to say what will happen with the stadium properties, although commissioners have enlisted the help of the Business Development Corporation (BDC) of the Northern Panhandle to market the properties for economic development purposes.
"We haven't had time to discuss it. I'm sure we'll start working on some ideas in the early part of the year," Davis said.
The school board announced its intention to sell the stadiums as surplus properties in June. The Newell facility was sold at public auction on Oct. 25, but the only bid-$50,000 by Chester fire Chief John Hissam-was rejected as too low by the school board.
A second auction was scheduled for Nov. 30, but the school board canceled it after meeting with two Hancock County commissioners and BDC Executive Director Patrick Ford to discuss economic development opportunities.
The board's handling of the proposed sale drew opposition from some quarters, including people who believed the Chester Volunteer Fire Department was the best hope of keeping the Newell stadium in community hands.

Kids have a greater sense of aesthetics than the old guys over at the phone companies give them credit for... I doubt this heap will be flying off the shelves, even if it does perform well.
8. (unregistered)
i can see little kids using this like 10 or 11 years old. after that no ones gunna want it.
67. inaday (unregistered)
i think its a cute little phone that is just enogh for even a grown up. im 36 and i enjoy being able to have the phone in my pocket and its bluetooth compat. i had the old version from the same company but i couldnt use bluetooth. and with the economy the way it is, grownup will make a practical decision and not get hooked on looks. and last i checked the store in new york in my borough sold out. so get over the color choice and pick a good phone. besides when its open it looks just like a blackberry without the price.
9. (unregistered)
I have seen this thing in action, it is as all of have said about being ugly, it is not the best looking. It does however perform well, better than most current verizon phones. As for the kids and tweens liking the phone, most don't really care about music and video, or even mobile web, they have ipods for that, if not an Iphone. I think the blitz will do well, its a cheap, sturdy phone with a qwerty keyboard, and 1.3 mp cam. Most kids and tweens only text msg, they rarely use the phone for talking. I think its a perfect starter phone.
10. C-Chicki (unregistered)
Wow at first glance you would think they are marketing this phone towards people that go around their daily lives wearing helmets. "YAY I GOT MAIL!! YAY!!!"

Actually... and since everyone has a cell phone... I think that this can appeal to 8-13 year olds.

17. (unregistered)
I work at VZW. This phone was released today and I must say that it really looks good in person ( now that we have the LIVE version instead of the dummy phone ). I've already sold about six of them ... all to the "under 21" crowd. Navigation really takes some getting used to. The buttons are really easy to the touch and so far, call quality is very good. The menus are very clear on screen and the phone looks and feels great. I honestly thought this was a horrible phone since it's made my UTStarcomm ( it uses the same charger as the Coupe ). A few things I don't understand..... it's the only VZW megapixel camera phone that doesn't do video and although it's listed as Rhapsody-capable , it isn't VCast-capable.... and if anyone is having issues with the included USB cable when transferring data to and from the phone, you can obtain the "secret menu" by tapping *#7678 and End ( in that sequence ). For people with big hands, it fits real easy in your palm. But since it is made by UTSTarcomm, the jury is still out on it.

ok i want this phone so bad but i dont think i have enough money how much is it and the phone is not ugly it is the best looking phone i have seen and i am not 12 i am sixteen

38. (unregistered)
without the two year deal though
18. (unregistered)
I've read some of the posts on here and I have one question for most of you: What are you ... like 12 years old? The phone is ugly, it's a digivice ... is this the best material you can come up with? I bet most of you didn't even TRY the damn thing and made your judgement based on the pictures that you see here. It really is a cool looking and feeling device ... real easy to text with. You'll be surprised when you actually take the time to try something for yourself instead of following the masses.

Oh, so I should try a daewoo so I can see how awesome it is? No. Its simple logic. LOOKS MATTER. No one wants to carry around a phone that looks like a gameboy. Especially when there are really good looking phones that do more things. Plus, its probably UTStarcom trying to be different again. Trust me, no one will be blitzing to get this phone.
21. (unregistered)
Ummm, NO!! Sorry !!! Looks in fact DON'T always matter. I see a lot of business people carrying around Blackberries because of its reliability ... although the phones will definitely NOT win any beauty contests. The same logic applies here. Not everything is worried about how the phone looks, and quite honestly, I HAVE seen it in person....and it's not a bad looking phone at all. Your post goes to show why some people are really clueless in this world. A phone could be horrible with service but as long as it looks cool and plays music and does other things of non-importance, you would spend a grip on it. What happens when the next so-called "cool" looking phone comes along. I bet you're willing to shell out a mortgage payment just to get it. Why? Cause it's cool. So far, I've seen about three people with this new Blitz. The only reason I wouldn't get it is because I already have the XV6800 ( another "ugly" phone ). See? Not EVERYBODY goes by looks. I would hate to see how you would buy a car. "Well, the engine isn't that good, the carburator is shot, and it gets crappy gas mileage .... but it's a really cool looking car ...." Some people.

*eye roll* Oh PLEASE! Uh, a blackberry can be ugly, and so can an XV6800, because they do ten times more than this blitz crap. WHY would someone choose the blitz over the enV2, Voyager, Alias, Glyde, or any other normal looking texting device? And were not talking about cars. We're talking about a texting phone for teens. And if you want to be on of those "beautiful on the inside!" people, go right ahead. Me and the rest of the world will continue to live out lives happily without this phone.

You and the rest of WHAT world? The Paris Hilton world? I guess you too like things that are HOT looking. Yes, I realize the Blitz aren't the xv6800 or a Blackberry but you're completely missing the point. There are definitely phones that look better thans those two phones but it's all about functionality to some ... at least the ones with brains. Nobody said a damn thing about beauty on the inside. It can ugly on the inside as well as long as the device does what I want it to do. As for the "we're not talking about cars" comment, I was making a comparison as to how a consumer shops for products. Do you NOT know what an analogy is? Why would someone choose the blitz over the those other four phones you mentioned? Well, you might as well eliminate the "touch horrible" Glyde and the " I can't keep a charge and half my features don't work" Alias. Oh, that's right ... they're cool-looking. Someone idiot like you would get them anyway. The enV2 is OK at best because it only offers the great looking internal screen and keyboard but let's be honest... it's one of those "ugly" phones as well. The Voyager is the only worthy opponent here, buddy. But the Voyager, Glyde, and enV2 all cost more than the Blitz ( trust me, the enV2's price WILL go back up ). Did you at least TRY the Blitz? Cause like one the posters said ... he has sold a lot of those phones to the "under 21" crowd. Hmmmm, seems like it ain't always about being the best LOOKING. Just because the rest of the world lives on looks, it doesn't mean I should follow their ways. Candy....looks good, taste good, but will do damage to your system. Broccoli... looks bad, taste bad, will keep you around longer. By the way, that's another AN-AL-O-GY!!!! In case you didn't know.

I honestly don't know why everyone is calling this phone so ugly. It's black, dark blue and sort of round.... I don't get it. I really don't care what my phone looks like anyways, I'm trying to find out how well it works. I'm thinking about getting one of these and the only reviews that have helped me on this page is the guy that actually works at VZW and has actually physically used the phone. I don't even know why half you dummies even bother to write a review based on the looks of the phone. We can see the picture and decide for ourselves. Anyways, thanks VZW guy for the only useful review!

Glad to be of help.

I've actually tried this phone myself. It is supremely easy to text with because the buttons on the keyboard are very responsive..albeit a little bit on the small side for me. Sound quality seems to be good on the phone as well. I think the reason the features were pared down some, was to appeal to the parents of the tween target for the phone. The color is nice and bright, as is the screen. The phone would easily fit in a pocket, not problem. All in all, a neat little starter phone, definitely. Hope that helps! lol

I have this phone, just got it yesterday, and I love it. I'm 20 years old and I really like the way it looks and the way it works. The functionality is wonderful. The battery lasts as far as I can tell, I love that it's bright but if someone is calling you in the middle of the night you don't have to worry about it blinding you either. The messaging is easy, wouldn't recommend it to anyone who has large fingers though. The sound quality is awesome on it and I love how compact it is and easy to use!
23. (unregistered)
we actually had 2 teens that were WAITING for this phone to come out. I have no idea why. The envy2 is only 10 bux more expencive, and does a heck of alot more. This thing isnt even EVDO!! Also, the keyboard is obviously ment for people with pencils for fingers as it just does not work for any sizable hands
25. (unregistered)
@19, if you want to talk about under the hood, how about for 10 bucks more an env2 will give you twice as good a camera and evdo. Im a vzdub employee and i write this surrounded by said phones, if you really are a vzw employee, you should be ashamed of yourself for pushing this piece of crap on people for two years. You and I both know they will hate this after the first thirty days but wont return it within the first thirty.
33. (unregistered)
No, I think YOU should be ashamed of YOURSELF for talking down on a phone that hasn't been out a week yet. Yes, I had the honor messing with the phone for a few days, and my opinion of does not change. I've sold many of them so far and no complaints yet. I don't doubt that the enV2 is a great phone but don't put on the "high horse". That microscopic outer screen was a major mistake and the camera quality is horrible ... even in perfect lighting. That alone is a major drawback from the original enV. I've seen a lot of phones NOT returned during the 30 day period and still people hated the thing. That's technology. You either love it or hate it ... but some people only return things simply cause they want the next cool item ... no matter how good the phone they currently have is. You call yourself an employee? Thank you for insulting the customer's taste. Whether you like it or not, not everyone will agree with you. And so far, the enV2 is LG's most refunded phone right now ( among the current handsets ). Check up on it.
35. (unregistered)
I too work at VZW. You're right, the enV2 is currently our most refunded LG brand phone. At least in our store anyway. The Blitz is very odd looking but I like the way it feels. It's different. I like that. And no one has complained about the look so far. Most people that come into the store are actually intrigued by it. I like the enV2 and all but the buttons inside sometimes feel like the are hard to push in, like they will pop out or something. I really don't like the outer screen and the fact that the outside menu only goes up and down. And quite honestly, the camera's picture quality is nothing to write home about. The only thing that scares me about the Blitz is what the poster in comment #18 said. It's a UTStarcomm phone.
39. (unregistered)
wow, both of you are smoking crack. I dont need a week with this phone to know its worthless. The env2 is your most refunded phone? Really? I dont believe that for a moment. The samsung 340 or maybe the chocolate 3, maybe. Have fun with your terrible phones and pissed off and insulted customers!
41. (unregistered)
Hmmm....let's see. Over 30 Blitzes sold and not one complaint yet. As for the most refunded phone ... you might want to take the time and actually READ a post instead of making an ass outta yourself. Post #34 clearly states that the enV2 is LG's ... I repeat ... LG'S ... most refunded phone. Where the hell did the Samsung 340 come from? The Chocolate 3, believe it or not, has more to offer than the enV2 ... like built in FM transmitter, Rhapsody capability, and the ability to read your text message on the OUTSIDE screen as well. The enV2 can do NONE of those things. And before you make a comment about the enV2 being "rhapsody-capable" because it says so in the employee Equipment Guide, .... DON'T!!! Cause if you go to Verizon's site and look for rhapsody capable phones, the enV2 isn't there. It's only available for music purchases via Rhapsody, NOT the unlimited streaming you get with the Chocolate 3, Dare, etc. Even the sorry ass Samsung 550 is rhapsody capable. Please do your homework before posting.
43. (unregistered)
well seing as how you said it was YOUR most refunded phone and not LG's i fail to see the logic in your response. Cool, i wasnt going to say it was rhapsody capable, paying for music is moronic. The choc3 is terrible it was an example of a more returned phone. Your reasons for why one phone is better than the other makes no sense. I dont give a damn about the fm transmitter or raphsody, nor do the customers. The battery life on the chocolate 3 is a joke, that is why it sucks. The blitz is bigger than a q without any of the funcionality, its overpriced, ugly, and there are pleny of other handsets aside from the masterful env2 that do a much better job, that is why it sucks. I am done with your little pms rant, have fun being an embaressment to vzw.
44. (unregistered)
Also you said the most refunded lg phone in your STORE, then equipment guide, make up your mind dont change facts to support your dumbass response.
45. (unregistered)
Are you crossed eyed or what? I never, never, never, EVER said a damn thing about the enV2 being the most refunded PHONE in my store... I said it was LG'S most refunded phone. And where the hell did you get Equipment guide from? That was only a reference to the Rhapsody capability ( or lack thereof ) of the enV2. Are you that BLIND???? Can someone with sense, a strong command of the English language, and READING ability please clue this clown in?
46. (unregistered)
Enough is enough. To #46...I've read that guy's post over and over and I still don't understand why you see things that aren't there. He clearly said that it was LG'S most refunded phone at his location ... not everywhere and not every phone manufacturer. The Blitz is not overpriced as it is geared at the tween market. Just because you don't like don't mean someone else won't. I've already tried it, it really is a cool phone ... even to this 28 yr old. You calling phone ugly really shows your immaturity and I'm pretty sure there are better handsets than the Blitz but it is a basic texting phone with a QWERTY keyboard. Why is that so hard for you to understand? It's not meant to compete with other V Cast phones, just be a basic keyboard phone ... that's all. The real embarrasment to VZW is YOURSELF. I've never seen someone chop down a handset before it saw the light of day all because of its looks. So tell me, you mean to say that if 20 people came into your store hell bent on buying new lines and getting the Blitz on those lines, you would turn them away to something else? I'm pretty sure you would but if I did my homework on a phone, messed with via people who already have it, and decided I liked it too, you would still try to put me in something else? I really hope you're not in sales.
47. (unregistered)
Wow...I didn't see anything you're talking about here man. You must be on meth or something. He said LG's most refunded phone. He never said anything about Rhapsody either except that it misinforms you about the enV 2. Get off the sauce man.

Guess what? I dont give a shit about vzw or your opion, justify your position however you want, it will not make you right. If 20 people came into my store i would tell everyone one of them not to get that phone you are damn right. That phone sucks, you suck, and your reasoning is worse than a toddler for whom this phone is directed. Omg, i must be the worst sales rep ever because i said the phone is ugly! Bwahahaa, look feel and shape are some of the most important things, just as important as the features that this phone does not have. You are clearly offended enough to keep coming back every day for abuse, i come for laughs at your incompetence. Have fun flaming each other fags!

Good, we dont allow cripples in my establishment. Even though that is clearly what not what i meant, i would try to sell you a tic-tac because your breath reeks of bullshit.

"Even though that is clearly what not what i meant.....". Did that make sense to anybody. Before you insult people, pick up a damn book retard. What an ignoramus.

The first time I saw this phone was the day after it came out. I loved it on the spot. It is perfect for me....it fits in the palm of my hand like a pad of sticky notes, has a nice, big, easily readible front screen and I don't have to open the darn thing to talk on it. Texting is a breeze with it, and navigation is pretty self-explanatory. For the most part you never have to slide it open unless texting. For those that like the enV2, you don't have to flip the phone open to see what you are doing. It's thin enough to fit into a back pocket and doesn't look like a cheap piece of metal and plastic. Like I said, perfect for me!
28. (unregistered)
Soooooo, it has a screen, keypad and navigation is self-explanatory, you can talk without expanding it??!!!! WOW, only every slider ever has that feature, your right, that sounds like an incredible piece of technology!

Hillary Clinton's Ratings Slip in New WSJ/NBC Poll
Hillary Clinton's public image has slumped in recent months, with younger voters, Democrats and independents taking a less enthusiastic view of her, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows.
Overall, 46% registered a positive view of the ex-secretary of state, compared to 33% who expressed a negative opinion. As recently as April, 56% saw Mrs. Clinton in a positive light.
Mrs. Clinton has not yet declared her intentions in the 2016 presidential race, but if she runs she would be the solid front-runner in the Democratic field, public polling has shown.
The Journal poll also looked at a pair of Republicans who are seen as potential presidential candidates in '16: Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey.
A total of 33% held a positive view of Mr. Christie compared with 17% who saw him negatively (26% held no opinion or didn't know his name).
Mr. Cruz, fresh off the fight over the government shutdown, fared less well. Only 19% had a positive image of him, with 30% taking a negative view (35% had no opinion or didn't know his name).
Everyone seems to have an opinion on Mrs. Clinton, who has been in the public eye decades longer than either of the two Republicans. Only 1% didn't know how they felt about the former first lady or hadn't heard her name.
The poll was conducted from Oct. 25through 28. A total of 800 people were interviewed.
Since leaving the State Department, Mrs. Clinton has been writing a book, delivering paid speeches and speaking out on various issues.
Her ratings were higher when she served in the Obama cabinet in the apolitical job of the nation's top diplomat. As secretary of state from 2009 to Feb. 1 of this year, her public image approval rating was consistently in the 50s, Journal polling shows.
Peter Hart, a Democratic pollster who provides advice on the survey, said in an interview Wednesday: "Pure and simple, she's gone from being the nonpartisan secretary of state to potentially a partisan Democratic nominee for president. It's not that voters all of the sudden have seen a new side of Hillary that has caused them to take a second look. She is no longer the non-partisan secretary of state and that brings out the partisan fangs on the part of former supporters."
The new survey shows some weakness among independents, Democrats and people between the age of 18 and 34.
In April, for example, 53% of 18-to-34-year olds had a positive image of Mrs. Clinton in the Journal's polling. That figure fell to 38% in the new survey.
In that same period, Mrs. Clinton's support among independents fell from 46% to 35%. Her support among Democrats fell 12 points – from 88% to 76%.

Women celebrate 'Elite' season
Related Links
Johansson, a 6-2 center, was named MVP after averaging team-highs of 14.3 points and 8.6 rebounds per game, helping the Seawolves back to the NCAA Elite Eight for the second time in her career and the third time in the last five seasons. The Gothenburg, Sweden, native became the second player in program history to earn All-America honors and was the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Player of the Year, leading UAA to a 30-5 overall record and the GNAC regular-season and tournament titles.
Johansson finished as UAA's all-time leader in individual victories (112) and games played (133), along with top-10 ranks in 12 more categories, including points (7th, 1,393), rebounds (2nd, 808), steals (5th, 195), blocks (5th, 70), assists (9th, 247), field-goal pct. (4th, .533), free throws made (6th, 333), games started (5th, 99) and double-doubles (t-7th, 17). Her other senior accolades included Capital One Third Team Academic All-American, consensus First Team All-West Region, and West Regional Tournament MVP.
Best Defensive Player went to Mathews, who ranked second on team and 16th in the GNAC with 1.5 steals per game, plus third on team and 12th in the league with 0.5 blocks per contest. The 5-10 wing from Palmdale, Calif. (PHS/Antelope Valley JC) scored double figures eight times and grabbed five or more rebounds on 10 occasions, helping UAA lead the nation in scoring margin at 21.9 points per game. Mathews delivered one of her best defensive performances in UAA's 68-63 road win over 4th-ranked UC San Diego in West Regional title game, including the game-clinching block with 5 seconds left.
The Coaches' Award, bestowed for commitment to the team concept, went to Robison for the second straight year. The 6-foot forward from Sandy, Utah (Jordan HS/Coll. of Eastern Utah) was an All-GNAC Honorable Mention pick, averaging 8.9 points and 7.5 rebounds while starting all 35 games. Robison also set led the GNAC and set UAA season (.597) and career (.550) records for field-goal percentage, while collecting six double-doubles.
Ryder, from Rungsted Kyst, Denmark, earned the Most Improved Player award after posting 5.7 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game, while shooting 82 percent at the free-throw line. After averaging 3.7 points through the first 19 games, the GNAC Freshman of the Year doubled her pace to 8.1 ppg over the final 16 contests.
Martin, a junior from East Anchorage High School, was dubbed the team's Most Inspirational Player for the second straight season. In her fourth season with the program, the 5-6 guard played in 22 games, posting impressive shooting numbers of 7-for-9 field goals, 4-for-5 three-pointers and 5-for-6 free throws.
Burns, a sophomore guard from Kansas City, Kan. (Bishop Ward HS), received the Ms. Hustle award after appearing in all 35 games and averaging 4.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.9 steals. The GNAC All-Academic Team honoree also contributed heavily to UAA's league-best team stats in scoring defense (55.0) and steals per game (11.3).
The MVP, defensive, inspirational and improved awards were chosen by a vote of team players.

Major: Physics
Year of Graduation: 1962
Current Job Title: Systems Engineer for Boeing in Huntsville, AL.
What has been your career path after St. John's University and what led you to your current job?
I started writing instruction manuals for industrial equipment in Minneapolis, with the hope of eventually sneaking into the rocket science business through the back door. It took 25 years, but I finally made it and when Boeing won a Space Station contract at the beginning of 1988, I got a job as a Systems Engineer, and have been there ever since. Along the way, I've earned two master's degrees (in management and engineering), received a US patent, written a widely used project management simulation and textbook section, published and presented papers at national and international symposia, and become an officer of the International Council on Systems Engineering and a member of the Society for Technical Communications and the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society.
I started out at Boeing defining requirements for several space station systems and building a time-phased computer model of the station's construction. I then analyzed mission operations and developed timelines for station assembly, and identified station utilization opportunities.
Describe your main job duties.
I don't really have a 'typical' day, because I am working three different jobs. Some days I do a little of each of the three jobs. Other times, I may work on just one of them for several weeks in a row. I plan and conduct the evaluation of the flight hardware, with a team that includes a crew office engineer, one or more astronauts, and several other crucial positions. I also research and write the documents that describe the space station experiments, assign the requirements that they must meet, and identify how each requirement will be verified. I also serve as the Human Factors discipline expert.
With three bosses, I have to sit in on three staff meetings and write three activity reports each week. My bosses are usually in Texas or Florida, so most of the meetings are via telecom and Webex. Meetings involving the Russians usually start before 5:00 in the morning, and those with the Japanese run very late at night.
Besides the staff meetings, I monitor or give presentations at an average of three to four board and panel meetings and participate in a couple of customer conferences each week (also mostly virtual). In the evenings, I average one technical society or parish committee meeting per week, and when I'm taking a class, one or two nights of on-line sessions.
What do you enjoy about your job?
I enjoy working with scientists and engineers all around the world, helping them build experiments that will allow the space station crew to gather the most and best research data, playing with the actual flight hardware, and helping the astronauts demonstrate the usability of the science payloads. Traveling to the top research centers in the world is interesting, too. I got to experience six European countries last year.
I've wanted to be a rocket scientist since some of my St John's physics classes. If I'm not one now, at least I know dozens of them, and almost as many astronauts, on a first name basis. I believe the space program has the potential for tremendous contributions to humanity and I am glad, proud, and humbled to be a part of it. I feel that I can make a real difference in the effectiveness of the space station as a research center for the good of all. (If only the politicians can keep their hands off of it for a while.)
What is some advice for students who would like to follow your career path?
Systems engineering is a challenging and satisfying field, with a growing demand for its practitioners. It requires more breadth than depth of knowledge, so my St John's training in logic, literacy, scientific methods, critical thinking and big-picture perspective (and 25 years of widely scattered experience) allowed me to get by while I learned the SE process on the job.
In the 21st century, there are courses available to help a student with a liberal arts science degree or pre-engineering program adapt those skills to a systems engineering career. If the cost of an MS right after graduation seems a bit daunting, look for an employer with a continuing education assistance program. For example, Boeing not only paid for all of my grad school costs and books, but also for a trip to an international symposium to present a paper, and 100 shares of stock at graduation.

As an otolaryngologist, Dr. Russell Kitch specializes in ear, nose and throat issues. "I like the diversity both in the range of medical and surgical treatments and in being able to work with patients of all ages," he says. "I've seen patients from newborns to a man who was 117. He was one of the two oldest people in the world at the time." Dr. Kitch leads the caring staff at Low Country ENT, located by Trident Medical Center, and he has been treating patients in the Charleston area since 1991. "Most of the children that we see are for recurrent ear infections and recurrent tonsillitis, and they are readily treatable in most cases." An audiologist on staff also provides hearing aids. His other interests include sinus and rhinitis issues as well as hearing and balance problems such as recurrent vertigo, which can often be resolved with a non-surgical procedure that only takes a few minutes. "We also see a fair number of head and neck cancers, which thankfully are very curable if caught early." Dr. Kitch is board-certified in otolaryngology, head and neck surgery as well as sleep medicine.
