The Matthias Church, formerly known as the Buda Castle Church of Our Lady is the main Hungarian coronation cathedral. A number of kings were crowned in this historical building located in the Holy Trinity square of Buda Castle, including King Charles Robert, Sigismund of Luxemburg, Franz Joseph and King Charles IV.
King Matthias held both his wedding ceremonies at the church, which is also the resting place of King Bela III and his wife Agnes of Antioch.
According to ecclesiastic tradition, the church was established by King Saint Stephen in 1015, however there are no records to prove this fact (The related tradition, which was generally accepted until the 20th century, was public belief in the Middle Ages. After the period of Turkish rule, the church was known as the Church of Saint Steven, and the 900th anniversary of its foundation was celebrated in 1915. Although researchers now admit that there had been a village on the Castle Hill before the Mongolian invasion, we now have no material evidence for the existence of the Buda Castle Church of Mary before 1247). Nevertheless, we know for sure that the construction of the original gothic church began under the reign of King Bela IV following the Mongolian invasion of the country.
The towered, three aisle basilica was designed by the french master Villard de Honnecourt, based on the layout of the Lyon cathedral (At the beginning of the construction works Lyon was the seat of the Pope). However, the group of craftsmen who construction included a number of elements characteristic of the northern France (and shapes typical of Burgundy), and indeed, German style of church construction, thus making it the earliest and most complete classic gothic structure in the country. Later, under the reign of King Louis the Great (1342-82), the church was changed into a bright, airy, halled church. The church was reconstructed in high Gothic style, characteristic for the Anjou age. The reconstruction began with the formation of the southwest "Mary" gate, around 1370, to resemble the main entrance of the St Lawrence Church in Nürnberg. At the same time, the vaults of the side aisles were raised, and the building was transformed from its earlier cathedral style into a hall church. The carved portraits of King Louis the Great and Queen Elisabeth were preserved from this age, on the southern wall of the southern side aisle.
The most magnificent part of this historical monument is the southern Mary gate dating from 1370, the reliefs of which portray the life of the Virgin Mary.
In the 15th century, the building reached its peak under the reign of Matthias Corvinus and the fell into ruining during the Ottoman occupation. The structure was first torched (1541) and then used as a mosque. The building was reconstructed in a baroque style once these conquerors were chased away from the country. The church received its current, neo-gothic form during its restoration at the end of the 19th century. The works were led by Frigyes Schulek, who changed all the stones in the building. He modified the ground plans as well as the facade, tearing down the vaults and the walls of the church at several points in order to reconstruct the original architectural layout.
The church's famous, 80 metre-high, southern or Matthias Corvinus tower originally collapsed in 1384. King Matthias raised an octagonal level on top of its remaining square-shaped lower section, decorated with ledges and partitioned with windows, on top of which Frigyes Schulek realised a turreted roof structure. However, the northern Bela tower wasn't fully developed. The roof of the structure is covered with colourful majolica tiles made in the Zsolnay factory Pecs. The church's secession internal decoration and amazing frescoes were painted by Schulek as well as Karoly Lotz, Bertalan Szekely and Mihaly Zichy.
The church was also the location of the "Mary-wonder." In 1686 during the siege of Buda by the Holy League a wall of the church collapsed due to cannon fire. It turned out that an old votive Madonna statue was hidden behind the wall. As the sculpture of the Virgin Mary appeared before the praying Muslims, the morale of the garrison collapsed and the city fell on the same day.
During World War II the church was badly damaged. Matthias Church was used as a camp by the Germans and Soviets in 1944-1945 during the Soviet occupation of Hungary. The church was largely renovated between 1950-1970 with funding from the Hungarian government. The bell tower was restored, along with renovation of interior paints and frescos.The five-manual organ, which had been destroyed during the war, was updated and sanctified in 1984. The church's largest bell weighs over 3,200 kilograms. Its sound familiar to all Hungarians, since it's broadcast by Hungarian Television at noon.

Basic Anatomical and Physiological Data for Use in Radiological Protection: The Skeleton: v. 25/2: Annals of the ICRP
Editura: Elsevier Health Sciences
The purpose of ICRP Publication 70 is to update information and reference values for the human skeleton. In keeping with the charge issued by Committee II, in 1984, to update the original Reference Man ( ICRP Publication 23), increased emphasis has been given to the normal biological variability among humans, and to information on children. Also, an effort has been made here to provide a more extensive review of the literature on the skeleton, including the older literature, than was provided in the original document in 1975. An extensive review of the literature is to be distinguished from an exhaustive review, which is no longer a feasible task due mainly to the considerable amount of work that has been done in recent years in the general area of bone physiology. Nevertheless, every effort has been made to provide a representative cross-section of the available information on the skeletal features considered in this publication.

He sat in his office at Navy Medical Center Portsmouth (Va.), a stack of records surrounding him, suspecting that bad news lurked in at least one of the folders.
Efland Amerson is a neuropsychologist, and he studies how concussions affect troops' lives. Sometimes, as he did when he worked with athletes at the University of Virginia, he recommends life changes — a different job for a soldier, retirement from sports for an athlete. A few of those were on scholarship.
"Usually," he said this week, "they know that it's coming."
On Tuesday morning, before examining the stack of cognitive test results, Amerson thought about what it would be like to deliver a similar recommendation to his son, Washington Redskins rookie cornerback David Amerson. Efland said he was in the stands Sunday night in Dallas when, during a kickoff return, Cowboys linebacker Cameron Lawrence crashed into the Washington rookie, knocking him out with a blind-side hit. Amerson later had a concussion diagnosed — his first such injury, the player said — and didn't return to the game.
"One of those things," David Amerson said a few days later. "Part of the football game."
But in the hours and days that followed, his father's mind raced. Past retirement recommendations flashed back.
"That's what I was thinking this morning: 'What if that time comes?' " he said Tuesday.
The NFL has come under increasing fire the past few years over how teams handle players with head injuries even though rule changes have been made and resumed participation is closely monitored. But David Amerson still makes his living in a game that centers on quick comebacks from injuries, while his father makes his in a field that sees the worst of ignoring the long-term consequences of multiple concussions.
When Efland Amerson worked at Virginia, he saw the effects of repeated brain injuries. Athletes' academic work and non-sports lives occasionally suffered.
Sometimes it took three concussions for test results to show longer-term injury, and for others it took seven or more, the elder Amerson said. But there he would sit, telling someone who had established at least part of his or her identity using sports that, in his opinion, it was time to leave it behind.
The alternative, as last week's "League of Denial" PBS Frontline documentary repeatedly showed, could be long-term symptoms, such as memory loss or premature death. These are scenarios Efland is aware of — though he said he doesn't like thinking about them befalling his son.
"My greatest fear," he said. "From what I know from multiple concussions, it can be devastating."
When the elder Amerson reached the visitors locker room Sunday night, he found David dazed and unaware of what had happened. Efland Amerson said his son didn't remember Lawrence's blind-side hit — which led to a $21,000 fine — or that he had been unconscious on the turf afterward. Still, David Amerson said he was "fine," his father recalled, and said he wanted to return to the game, though since 2009, NFL rules have forbidden players from returning to games after displaying concussion symptoms.
"I knew the look that he had," Efland said. "I see it all the time with the guys that I work with daily. I am a father. I was scared for him because he was just sitting there and he really didn't know what happened."
It is the kind of image that leads the elder Amerson to think about the future. He said he reminds his son often to protect his head, and this week he flooded his son's phone with text messages and calls about being smart about his return to practice.
But the football culture is still one of toughness and quick recovery, no matter the injury. Although teams aggressively test players following concussions, part of the ramp-up protocol each injured player must pass before being cleared to return, the league is still trying to curb a decades-old culture of players hiding lingering symptoms.
This week, David Amerson insisted he was healthy, though earlier in the week his score on a follow-up concussion test "was low in one area," he said. He retook the test, he said Thursday, and although the results were unknown, he seemed to be progressing toward playing Sunday against the Chicago Bears. He was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday.
That hasn't stopped the player's father from sending more reminders to speak up if new symptoms reveal themselves during or after exertion or contact.
"I've had this talk with him when he was in college," Efland said. ". . . After this injury, I just really need to reemphasize that with him again."
David Amerson said Thursday that he and his father have a "mutual understanding" that he will be smart about protecting himself in exchange for Efland allowing his son the distance to make his own decisions. Efland said he understands that, regardless of his expertise, he must respect that his son is an adult with his own career to consider.
Still, the 21-year-old said, if his father felt strongly enough in the future to confront him about an early retirement, he would listen.
"It'd be something I wouldn't be happy about," David Amerson said. "But if it got to that point, you'd really seriously have to think about your future and just living, going on as a man, as a father, as a husband, whatever. . . . I would definitely listen to him."
For his part, Efland said it's too early to have those talks. If that day indeed comes, though, he said he would be comfortable in his role — even if it would mean asking his son to give up his livelihood, career dreams and, yes, part of his identity.
"It would not be tough for me to tell him that," Efland said. "It would be very awkward position for him to make a decision. We've been telling him all along: 'The NFL is temporary.' "
Nevertheless, he said, it was difficult to forget the look in his son's eye and the confusion that followed Sunday night in Dallas.
"This is not a game," Efland said. "And when you suffer these hits, the count starts.
"That's your first one."

Legal Question in Personal Injury in Texas
Moms Car Wreck
My mother was rear ended on 9/13/07. Her car was totaled and the insurance paid off 10,000 of the note but she is still upside on the note. She has been off work since the accident. The chiropractor she is going to got her in touch with the attorney working with his office. Would she be able to sue for the balance left on the note, lost wages, pain and suffering including medical?
2 Answers from Attorneys
Re: Moms Car Wreck
You need to see if you have GAP insurance (which covers the difference between book value and the loan value of a car.) If so, that will cover you. To answer the question, most likely, when she accepted the settlement on the property damage check, she released that part of the claim. If your mother is unclear on the process, then she needs to have a sit down with the attorney to get her questions answered to her satisfaction.
Re: Moms Car Wreck
Basically, she can only recover the value of the damage to her vehicle, not the amount owed in excess of the value. She can claim the rest of the damages you listed.
If she has not yet selected an attorney, please have her contact me.

Houston ranks in top hundred for most caring cities
HOUSTON, Texas (FOX 26) -
A recent article published on Wallet Hub has placed the city of Houston 90th on the top hundred caring cities in the United States.
"I think they are wrong, I think that they don't live here, they don't experience the people, I've been living in this town since 1976 and they are far off because I truly believe Houston is one of the most giving cities", says Scott Arthur with Star of Hope.
He says that donations are always coming in, but that the shelters have been at capacity for years now.
Arthur says, "this city understands that homelessness is not seasonal and they want to give all year round but they are reminded not only at Christmas time, but when the temperatures start to drop".
Hazel Swearingen says at St. Stephen's United Methodist Church every year they collect items on a Christmas tree to donate to the local nonprofit.
"Every year we put gloves, scarves, mittens and socks on it and we decorate it and then at a certain time of the year we take it off and we bring it over here", says Swearingen.
Folks at 97.9 The Box brought two truck loads of coats and blankets to the center Monday afternoon as well.
At the Houston Food Bank officials serve about 800,000 people each year, but that with all the people that come in, donations are matching the need.
"You can't just pay a third of your rent or half of your utility bill, but you can squeeze on the food", says Amy Ragan who is the chief development officer for the organization.
She also says, "the dollars are up, the fundraising is up but the number of volunteers is up also, we had a record breaking number of 12,000 volunteers come in the month of November".
Just to prove that it all depends on where you get your information or who is doing the polling, Livability recently named Houston number one on their list for the most charitable cities in the U.S.

Open Badges Step 0.3: A first look at open badges JSON
In this screencast I take a first look at the json message for issuing a badge. Given the open badges dependency on messaging this is the first look at the messages required to implement open badges. Keep in mind that as the OBI matures and the partner network increases, there will be a growing number of software applications that will implement this messaging. In the near future the technical understanding of the messaging will be the domain of the software developers. Understanding the messaging and its attributes will assist greatly in your open badges implementations. This screencast is a part of the Introduction to Open Badges Step by Step guide. The main theme of this screencast is a review of three blog posts which look into manually issuing a badge;
Reflective activity: Think about how you would create the criteria for a badge, and how someone would provide evidence to be awarded the badge.

Because Bedlam has been scheduled back-to-back years at Oklahoma State's Boone Pickens Stadium, it has allowed OU's players to be ready for the OSU crowd and atmosphere.
"It's a tremendous boost," cornerback Demontre Hurst said about having played in Stillwater in 2010. "Last year I had a lot of fun, but didn't know what to expect.
"We know how their crowd's going to be. We have to match their attitude and play with composure."
Another similarity from 2010 with this weekend is the Cowboys are coming in the higher-ranked team. OU was No. 14, while OSU was No. 10 last season. This season the discrepancy is even more with the third-ranked Cowboys and 10th-ranked Sooners.
"We're used to being the higher-ranked team, the favorite so this is something different," safety Sam Proctor said. "I'm kind of liking this underdog role that we're in. We know what to expect after last year."

The English Premier League took a break for the FA Cup third round to take place and it did not disappoint with beautiful goals scored in various matches.
The talking point was Wayne Rooney eqaulling Sir Bobby Charlton's s record of 249 goals for Manchester United.
However a wonderful goal was scored in that match by Anthony Martial.
Nigeria's Ahmed Musa scored twice as Everton lost 2 - 1 at home to Premier League holders Leicester City and his second goal was included in goals of the week.

Astellas Pharma recently announced the launch of Astagraf XL (tacrolimus extended-release capsules) in the U.S.
Astagraf XL was approved in the U.S. in Jul 2013 for the prophylaxis of organ rejection in patients receiving a kidney transplant used with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and corticosteroids, with or without basiliximab induction.
As per Astellas, Astagraf XL is the first once-daily oral tacrolimus formulation to be marketed in the U.S. for the prevention of organ rejection in patients receiving a kidney transplant.
We remind investors that approval was based on positive results from two primary, randomized, comparative phase III studies which enrolled 1,093 patients in the U.S., Europe, Canada, South America, Australia and South Africa.
This drug is already approved in the EU since 2007 under the trade name Advagraf and in Japan since 2008 under the trade name Graceptor.
Astagraf XL should help replace some of the sales lost to generic competition for Prograf (tacrolimus). Prograf is approved in the U.S, to prevent organ rejection in patients who have had a kidney, liver or heart transplant.
We are encouraged by the company's efforts to expand geographically. Last month, Astellas launched its prostate cancer drug, Xtandi, in the UK.
The launch of these drugs in additional markets should boost the top-line in fiscal 2013. The company expects sales of ¥1.17 billion in fiscal 2013. We expect further updates on the same when the company announces second quarter results.
Astellas carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Right now, Jazz Pharmaceuticals (JAZZ - Free Report) , Shire (SHPG - Free Report) and Ironwood Pharmaceuticals (IRWD - Free Report) look well positioned, each with a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Republicans come out swinging against Nunn, Carter at GOP unity event
The top candidates on Georgia's Republican ticket pulled no punches at a Wednesday event meant to show the GOP was solidly behind Senate candidate David Perdue.
All that establishment angst over Perdue's candidacy? Gone, said GOP chair John Padgett, who called the former Fortune 500 executive a "rock-solid conservative with a stellar record in business" who can defeat Democrat Michelle Nunn.
Gov. Nathan Deal, who steered clear of picking favorites in the primary or the runoff, made sure to point out how happy he is he'll be sharing the top of the ticket with Perdue. Deal, of course, faces a stiff challenge himself from state Sen. Jason Carter.
"He and I have a lot in common. We are both the children of two public school teachers in the state of Georgia. Both of us grew up in middle Georgia. We know the values that Georgians hold. We were educated in the public schools and we went to colleges here in the state of Georgia. Those are the kinds of contrasts that I think will be drawn here in the next couple of months."
Carter, who was born in Atlanta and grew up in Chicago, went to Duke University before graduating from the University of Georgia's law school. Nunn spent much of her childhood in the Washington area and graduated from University of Virginia and later got a master's degree from Harvard.
Deal then took aim at the famous lineage of the top Democratic contenders. Carter is a grandson of former President Jimmy Carter and Nunn's father is former U.S. Sen. Sam Nunn.
"There's another difference. We're not running on our namesakes. Our opponents are going around the country raising money because they have good names. I don't have a problem with that … But you know, we believe a candidate ought to stand on their own record, on their own priorities."
Left unsaid was Perdue's famous lineage. His first cousin, the former Gov. Sonny Perdue, was his highest-profile supporter, and much of his campaign network came from his relative's base.
Perdue, for his part, stuck to the same line he gravitated toward after his victory last night: The race will be more about President Barack Obama than about Michelle Nunn.
"My role in this in the fall is to prosecute the failed record of this administration. … I believe this economy is ready to bust out if we just take some common-sense free government principles.
Democrats are already seizing on the brutal attacks Perdue's GOP rivals targeted against him during the bruising primary and the nine-week runoff. Nunn's backers released this video this morning:
Perdue sought to brush the concerns aside.
"Those things really didn't stick. The people of Georgia heard our message. The message is we have a broken model in Washington. And I've offered up an alternative to that broken model, and that's what people are responding to."
Absent from the meeting was Rep. Jack Kingston, narrowly vanquished by Perdue on Tuesday, who was invited but did not attend.
Perdue said they had a "delightful" conversation and shared strategy of how to win in November.

Michelle's resume highlights:
1. Sam Nunn's daughter
2. Supporter of Hamas
3. Darling of Pelosi and Reid and Hollywood big spenders
That's about it
I wonder how many Dems crossed over to vote for Perdue because he will be easier to beat. That video of all the other Republican candidates blasting him for his business record is amazing.
This going to be a good election in November to see crooks get defeated.
Perdue sent 900 America jobs overseas and Deal is a crook.
It's going to get really interesting now. Can't wait to hear all the mud slinging the Dems and Repubs throw at each other. Pull out all the bones from each other's closets and make it a real show. (Just joking)
What I really want is for each senate candidate to state what they stand for and how they'll represent our state. I don't think either party will tell us what they will do if they get elected.
A bunch of jerks !!!
Perdue looks "out...standing in his field" on his ads...or should I say pasture....the wardrobe, makeup , lighting and location departments did good! Is that all it takes any more...just one good photo??
I would never vote for someone Karen Handel supports, which was Kingston.
If that what, 3-4 times? loser, was running against Vernon Jones, I would vote for Vernon
Blue Jeans and blue jean jackets win elections by the way every time.
for his "support" kingston will score big with 7 figure consulting / lobbying deals with his new friend david perdue!!! david's a businessman and knows how to spend money!
Christian conservatives "coming out swinging"? Now THAT'S funny!
Don't be fooled, GOP is stabbing its membership in the back again. Hope everyonewill check out Libertarian Amanda Swafford. http://amandaswafford.net/ https://www.facebook.com/CouncilMemberSwafford
Kingston was the Chamber of Commerce candidate. That makes Perdue the Tea Party candidate by default. I think that the press and the commentators here have missed this.
I bet Vernon Jones is making love to a bottle of Glenmore right now and eating a Po Boy
The immaturity of the posters here is amazing- or are they reflecting their IQs?
This is the problem with politics today- the left and much of the right is incapable of an adult conversation. Do you not realize that when you are name-calling you have zero chance of persuading an opponent?
The death of America will be the ignorant voter; they are the reason that the repulsive negative ads are apparently necessary. And those how don't understand that the evil twins "business" and "corporations" are the source of economic growth and jobs are the most frightening of all. Maybe we can read them "The Goose who Laid the Golden Eggs" and get some comprehension from them.
"Kingston, this is the president. I heard you lost. Let me be clear: YOU LOST. Looks like you won't be coming to the Senate. No need to call me back. Please, don't call me back."
I am simply glad no Vernon Jones in DeKalb County!!!! WOW, I can actually sleep well tonight!
All these liberals posting as Republicans...
Let Purdue and None debate, he will wipe the floor with her.
Just wait, if you think the Kingston/Purdue was nasty,you ain't seen nothing yet. Purdue will expose her for what she is. Someone hiding behind a name that isn't even hers. She's a weak candidate at best. And please, don't pay attention to the polls,we saw what that means.....NOTHING.
@Bubba30342 Those videos are now part of the permanent social media archives. When will the GOP learn? I hope never.
@Bubba30342 Those candidates are the reason Perdue won. If these clowns don't like him, he must be what's best for Georgia.
Rumor has it that it still took 12 takes.
@JacketMan What are you Jacket boy.....an ISIS smuck wanting to run Christians out of the country?
@JacketMan Only to a pervert.
@Don W Webb Don, good to know that you are out there sir. I wish we had a chance. Unfortunately there are too many single issue voters (most people) that vote on social issues. We really have no chance of getting any democratic voters that vote on fiscal issues as our party is way far to the right of the GOP (where we should be). I have been fighting this fight since I was 18 in 1996 and I put a Harry Browne for president sign in our yard when I was in high school. I never understood what gun rights had to do with gay marriage or what less welfare (both corporate and individual) has to do with abortion rights or foreign wars for that matter . Don, you are most likely more intelligent than most voters when it comes to politics (your link to the libertarian candidate proves that), but I don't think we ever get above the 10 percent margin as Bob Barr (well known name) proved a few years back. Unless a Ross Perot style candidate runs (I understand he is not a libertarian) that can get some of the mindless voters engaged we unfortunately are screwed. RIP Liberty...
Maybe he should start a new trend and point out the teklan has done NOTHING of value for Americans and tell them where to stick it......
But that would take courage.
@Tcope LOL. They were both moderate corporatists who only pander to Tea Partiers to get through the runoff. Perdue didn't get the endorsement because he had a temper-tantrum over not automatically being given the endorsement.
@Tcope the press is not missing anything they are holding the tea party's feet to the fire on their opposition to government bailouts. Either you are for it or you are against it. Perdue was and still is in favor of Wall Street bailouts. I am still waiting for the tea party opposition rally at the state capital against Perdue just like they did against Obama the day after his first inauguration. If it does not happen it will speak volumes about the true agenda of these tea party folk and the national press is going to have a field day... Count on it.
@RoyalDawg Amen brother! Stupid liberals messin' up life for us 1%ers. Go get a job with a corporation or go back to Mexico!
@RoyalDawg The ignorance of the American voter is much more concerning than the immaturity in my view. The present administration is an example of ignorant voters voting race and "cool" while knowing nothing about the seriousness of our country's condition and the state of the world today.
The electorate today in our country is a disgrace and a reflection of the fact that our education system is not first or second in the world, but something like 27th............
@peewilly "Nunn" can just use Kingston's ads, which is why I got off my butt and voted for a guy I had no plan on voting for.
@peewilly With Purdue being an "unknown" Candidate I would be careful with throwing that stone of Exposing.
@peewilly I wonder if he'll wear his 70's common man denim jacket during the debate. Sheep.
Don't worry little feller, we clowns will send him back behind the gates at Sea Island in November, when we send Michelle Nunn to the Senate!!
@Archangel @dreluv And you're Okay with sending jobs overseas and crooks?
@creative Thank you! I'm kinda like you I've been interested in the movement since High School.
It maybe that we are screwed but know we will be fighting to the end, a. Right now we have 6 candidates in the state:
Amanda Swafford--US Senate
Andrew Hunt-Governor
Ted Metz-Insurance Commissioner
John Monds-PSC-1
Aaron Gilmer PSC-4
Jeff Amason-House District 21 (Cherokee Co, pending the petition for those who don't know anyone who doesn't run as an R or D for a nonstatewide race has to get a petition of 5% of registered voters in the district or about 1,750 in Jeff's case)
I think this year will be a better year than we've seen because of how bad the choices are and the anti-incumbent mood will help to. This is going to be a good year.
It may not be soon but I think the day will come when our candidates start winning, this can't go on. I think we would've done better in 08 if we didnt have Barr, he had to checkered of a past (things like doma) to be running as a Libertarian at all, forget on top of the ticket.
Maybe they will stay at their trailers en masse in November!
@StraightNoChaser The national press ?....you mean the moron Obama loving society that refuses to do its job and investigate IRS criminals, Benghazi terrorist attacks, illegal immigration scams to buy the Latino vote, Iran non-negotiation fraud, betrayal of our allies especially Israel....not to mention the lies getting Obamacare passed....the national press...a disgrace for the US....
@StraightNoChaser Perdue had no say in the matter.
@theoriginaltruth @RoyalDawg So which party is in control of what is being taught in Georgia's public school right now? Who has been calling the shots? I do believe its Nathan Deal (republican).
@ComradeAnon @Archangel @dreluv When your Daddy Obama is in office there are no jobs and .......all the jobs that are here are to be filled by the immigrants he is working so hard to bring into the country.
Democrats more accurately Dumb-ocrats............
@Don W Webb @creative Yes you are really smart....vote for your know nothing, can't win candidates and elect pseudo Marxists like Obama and company..........
You folks are real patriots.............unreal.....
Now that you've used both your handles, I would encourage all republicans who didn't get a candidate crazy enough to suit them to vote libertoonian.
It would be nice to have two clown cars vying for the same parking space.
@theoriginaltruth @StraightNoChaser so when is the rally? I'm still patiently waiting for the answer. You know the one that is against government bailouts that Perdue loved so much (wall street). That's what I thought the tea party already has zero credibility now they have entered the twighlight zone. Too funny. Look in the mirror thats what you call a hypocrite (I could say worse but I'm feeling nice today) BTW when is Sarah Palin coming with her screeching voice to rail against government bailouts.
@Punditator @StraightNoChaser he supports wall street bailouts, there is a big difference in supporting it and having a say. Hell I didn't have any say in the Iraq war, lost friends and relatives but I supported the troops. I was wondering how the tea party was going to spin it and you just let me know. Pitiful is what I call your excuse.
@StraightNoChaser @theoriginaltruth @RoyalDawg The educational system in the US and Georgia is a flat out failure........evidenced by the fact that college students at major universities are ignorant to world events and even major leaders of our own country.....
The problem with anyone blaming the Republican for the plight of the US education system is the fact that it is being run by leftist Liberals with a bias against the things that made America great........period....
When your Daddy Obama is in office there are no jobs and ....
When you have to lie to make a point:
1. It does not prove your point.
2. It does prove you are a liar.
Just sayin'.
@StraightNoChaser @theoriginaltruth You're missing your favorite MSNBC show fellow....better get back to the tube...
@theoriginaltruth @StraightNoChaser answer the question. You can't because now its obvious that the tea party is full of it. Not that sane Americans did not already know this. I just like to rub it in. I would love to see you hold your nose and vote for Perdue. BTW word has it that some Democrats did not vote for the president because he's black, I have more respect for them than I do a fake tea party person because at least they stuck to their values and I'm black. Priceless....
@StraightNoChaser Just for the record pal........I am not a Republican, a "Tea Partier", nor a Democrat or a Progressive.
I am an American, Viet Nam Vet Marine, educated in the DeKalb County school system when it was one of the best in the US. We were taught to think and use deductive reasoning and logic as well as to understand the lessons of history....and the fact that our country was founded on Judeo Christian principles....
I don't vote for a party, but for the best hope between the candidates to carry out what America really means....
BTW....black is irrelevant.....if you are an educated black who can think and reason, then research a man like Dr. Benjamin Carson who is smart enough to understand that race is not a valid reason to vote for a person.....
@theoriginaltruth @StraightNoChaser As an independent voter I vote for the person who has integrity and who will represent the majority of Americans and not just a select few. I work in healthcare and I know the state of Grady how can Dr. Carson defend denying healthcare to the sick and indigent? What would be his defense for rural hospitals closing because of Nathan Deal refusing Medicaid? Dr. Carson is a right wing tool who has put aside his oath to medicine for the sake of the mighty dollar. I think I already now enough about him to make me want to vomit.

commercial property for rent or lease, Industrial Space For Lease.
Shohola (PA) commercial property for lease, rent, and leased investments.
Find Shohola industrial buildings for lease, retail rentals, & shops. Locate a Shohola warehouse lease and any real estate for lease / investment, including industrial properties to rent and sale.
Some Shohola commercial businesses may be more productive and efficient if they have adequate office area. In some areas the monthly lease on such Shohola areas can very often make up a substantial amount of a small company's budget. Sometimes it's feasible to share facilities like conference rooms with other Shohola tenants, to reduce costs. Consider different options before taking out a long-term lease on a large workplace when the possibility may exist that your Shohola business could outgrow the areas quickly. Consider short-term rentals for companies that are growing and in transition.
Search Shohola real estate and space for sale, lease and rent
While leasing may be short term, less risky, and less expensive than purchasing Shohola commercial property, signing a lease is still a binding and legal document. Seek legal advice before beginning your search for real estate, an experienced attorney in Shohola real estate law can help you to avoid signing a contract that may be signing you up for un-necessary expenses and liability that could potential harm business. If you lack time to scout and negotiate contract terms, a broker in Shohola may be a worthy asset to use.
Shohola commercial, industrial real estate, and land for commercial or industrial development, in nearly all cases has to be specifically zoned for a particular, or multiple business use. Investments in both Shohola commercial and Industrial properties ideally will result in real estate appreciation and either be an ideal home for the purchasers business, or for the Shohola investor, a return on investment from rental income. On the other hand a misguided or emotional purchase can entail risk, such as bankruptcy of the tenant business and a decline in Shohola real estate value. Low demand for the business and overbuilding are just two reasons for declining investment return on capital.

Toyota of Puyallup
Review for Toyota of Puyallup
ISABELLE D. on 03/15/2014
"Knowledgeable service, but too expensive!"
Very friendly service. I couldn't go for the repair because it was way too expensive for just a sun roof, but I felt well taken care of. In general I trust the evaluation but not always the suggested repair and estimated invoice. Like that time I was told by Toyota that my all exhaust system needed to be repaired for about $2000 when in fact it was fixed by a welder for less than $100.00. That repair was 5 years ago and is still holding great. My car received two days ago a full complementary check up and no issue were found with my exhaust system.

civic duty to the modern american is begrudgingly ensuring they have not overpaid in taxes. i'd rather see extreme disincentives for not voting, such as, 100 hours of community service combating recidivism of the incarcerated or ensuring the least of our youngsters can read and write.
voting is absolutely not a right, it can be legislated away from you.
great. they take it down.
So who will re-establish the series of tubes and lights to complete the candy raver wall color changing thingy?
All County Peoples:
Should we eliminate County Division of Weights and Measures and have the State Supervisor take over the task, as they already do for every other County in Western Pennsylvania except Allegheny, Beaver, Greene and Westmoreland?
For All Candidates:
Should the City or County actively attract private and public entities supporting the natural gas industry to redevelop vacant brownfield sites around the city and the county which would create jobs and bring tax revenues to the urban core?
All County Chief Exec Candidates: Do you support the presence of over 20 twitter feeds representing various County Divisions and Departments, for example, @AC_DCR Dept. of Court Records!?
Would there be opportunity to split the baby: local news and NPR goes to 91.3 and jazz remains on 90.5 along with the old WAMO-FM folks - a jazz, R&B, HipHop station seems viable?
Roddy seems a bit of a misfit. I see great things - or, him fired faster than B.J. Leber.
Either way, he'll have a nice book out of it.
I don't like it. I recall the "merger" between the 105.9 "the X" and 104.7 "The Revolution" some years back. Haven't listened to either of them since.
Now we have a somewhat similar instance of a station purchasing its competition: Don't take away my "Rhythm Sweet and Hawt!"
they teach latin at CAPA? mischievous youth don't make bongs in industrial arts anymore.

A Complete List of Sony-Owned PlayStation Devs
April 2, 2012 - With the closure of two of Sony's studios, it's time to update our list chronicling each and every Sony-owned developer, past and present.
PSN Store UK Update: Joe Danger Revved Up & Ready To Go
June 10, 2010 - Due to 'regularly scheduled' maintenance to the network last night, PSN Store's latest updates went live earlier than usual yesterday. The 12-hour overnight downtime was used to prepare the network for the launch of 3D gaming by Sony. WipEout HD, SuperStardust HD, PAIN and a MotorStorm: Pacific Rift demo all available for download from Friday 11 June, with a 3D-capable TV and a PS3 firmware required to play the 3D releases.
Gamer Memories: Losing My PlayStation Virginity
February 11, 2010 - At IGN, we're a lot of things. Nerds, douches, Achievement whores, over-raters, under-raters, and so much more, but at our core, we are gamers. Each and every one of us has a brain filled with cherished memories that revolve around our hobby. Unwrapping a Nintendo Entertainment System on Christmas morning, beating Streets of Rage with a pal, desperately trying to get Lara Croft's nude code to work – you get the idea. Before all of us who lived the adventure drift into a senile state and forget, IGN thought it would assemble those stories in an ongoing feature called "Gamer Memories."
IGN PlayStation Editors' Favorites of 2008
January 13, 2009 - 2008 was undoubtedly an amazing year for gamers. Pretty much every genre saw some fantastic releases, so much so that almost everyone we talk to was too short on either time or money to play them all. Our overall awards will be unveiled this week, but what did the IGN PlayStation Team love the most this year? Grab a cup of your favorite beverage, a nice snack and we'll tell you.
The Wednesday 10: 2008 Games You May Have Overlooked
January 7, 2009 - 2008 has come and gone and you probably played the biggest games of the year, from Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead, Metal Gear Solid 4, Grand Theft Auto 4, Call of Duty, to Madden. Yet there are plenty of great games that didn't get high-profile attention and marketing efforts that you may have missed. We figured it'd be nice to come up with the list of 2008 games that you might have overlooked. After all, we're in the relative doldrums in terms of new releases, and if you're looking for something to play, you can't go wrong with one of the games on this list.
PlayStation 2008 Year in Review
December 10, 2008 - Welcome to IGN's 2008 Year in Review for the PlayStation family. Over the next seven pages we're going to cover the highest highs and lowest lows, the biggest news and highest reviews of 2008. We're going to look back at the year's events, like E3, GDC and TGS, and see how well (or how little) Sony pushed the systems. You'll find a list of the year's highest rated titles, as determined by both the IGN editors and our readers. We'll break down the biggest news of the year and provide a few tips and tricks on the hottest games. And finally, we'll take a look at 2009 and see what's in store for Sony's systems. So sit back, pour yourself a nice beverage and have a read.
PSN Update (03.13.08)
March 13, 2008 - Another Thursday is in full swing and the official PlayStation blog has delivered yet another post documenting the content included in this week's PlayStation Network update. It looks like some attention was given to Toy Home and Pain because downloadable content is on its way. Let's take a more detailed look at today's newly available items.
Game of the Month: February 2008
February 29, 2008 - With all the videogames released each and every month, it can be a difficult task to decide on which title to spend your hard-earned money. Granted, you could always go by our review scores alone and weed through the long list of names to find something that scored high or low, but what if you had somewhere else to turn?
WipEout Pulse Review
February 12, 2008 - Racing fans have an obvious need for speed that propels them down tracks and against their competition, hoping to cross the finish line faster and farther ahead of their competition. For Sony, one of their franchises that exemplified this concept has been the WipEout series, the futuristic racer with weapons and anti-gravity courses. It's been two years since WipEout Pure was released in time for the launch of the PSP, and now portable owners can get their hands on the latest installment of the series with WipEout Pulse. But does Pulse offer the same adrenaline rush that fans have come to expect from WipEout games?
Futuristic Anti-Gravity Combat Racing Series Set to Launch with wipEout PULSE for PSP
February 12, 2008 - Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. (SCEA) announced today the North American release of the highly-anticipated wipEout PULSE, available exclusively for PSP (PlayStation Portable). Developed by award-winning Sony Computer Entertainment's WWS Liverpool Studios, wipEout PULSE takes the series to an all-new level by offering players customizable ships, challenging new tracks and gameplay features, and a robust online feature set.
WipEout Pulse Pack Frenzy
February 8, 2008 - Sony today announced that this February WipeOut Pulse, the latest PSP iteration of the futuristic racer, will be treated to no less than four downloadable packs.
Sony Computer Entertainment America Teams up with ESPN for Winter X Games
January 23, 2008 - Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA), a proud sponsor of ESPN's 12th annual Winter X Games, will enable attendees to experience their own extreme gaming experience at the world's premier action sporting event. While waiting for favorites of more than that 250 of the world's best athletes to compete in skiing, snowboarding, and snowmobile sports, fans can warm up with hot, new pulse-pounding games on PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) and PSP® (PlayStation® Portable) in PlayStation® tents.
WipEout Pulse Progress Report
January 3, 2008 - For months PSP owners have been wading through quality titles and dreaming of the UMDs to come in 2008. If you polled a handful of Sony portable packers, chances are that WipEout Pulse would be pretty high on their anticipated games list for the New Year. A new build of the Sony staple popped up in the office recently, and things are looking peachy.
WipEout Pulse: AU Review
December 10, 2007 - WipEout Pulse is the new racer to own on the PSP. It feels better, plays better, sounds better and looks better than every other racer on the system. Sure, it's not a massive reinvention of the series. But with almost three years free of the brain-frying WipEout experience, we're just happy to have something new which recaptures the glory days of old.
WipEout Pulse - Martin Audio AU Interview
November 1, 2007 - As fans of the series would expect, the next title in the WipEout series - Pulse, due in early December in Australia - looks set to have yet another storming electronic soundtrack. From old school luminaries like Kraftwerk and Aphex Twin, through to modern day doyens like Booka Shade, Ed Rush & Optical and Stanton Warriors, the line-up that's been announced to date is pretty damn solid. Of course, it's not enough for us to just listen to the tunes while we play - we want to find out about the people and equipment behind the tunes, and how they came to be featured on the Pulse soundtrack. With that in mind we caught up with Martin Audio, one half of Move Ya! & Steve Lavers (the first half obviously) whose breaks track 'Chemical' - a chunky number with an acidy melody that soon amps up into a chaotic crescendo - really fits the WipEout vibe. Martin has been DJing for 20 years, helped set up Vinyl Addiction Records in 1996, and has since gone on (with Steve Lavers) to start his own record store Know How Records and label Audio Bug Records. Here's what he had to say.
PSP Best of E3 2007 Awards
July 20, 2007 - Sony's two year old peripheral has finally come into its own, especially thanks to an extraordinarily strong 2006 lineup that featured some of the best gaming that handhelds have to offer. While the battery life for the system was still an issue for games, developers figured out the best way to exploit the UMD, packing tons of content onto the miniature disc to provide new gaming experiences for PSP owners. This wasn't just isolated to Action or Sports games either; every genre found solid titles that proved that the system had lots of staying power.
E3 2007: WipEout Pulse Hands-on
July 11, 2007 - In the world of cult-classic racers, the original WipEout reigns amongst the most favored. The game's quick pacing, smooth handling and weapons-based racing made it an instant classic. The PSP release of WipEout Pure helped rejuvenate the series and introduce the franchise to a whole new crowd. Now Sony is ready to hit the track again with the follow-up to Pure, WipEout Pulse.
Wipeout Pulse AU Hands-on & New Screens
June 28, 2007 - I recently spent some time with the original Wipeout, courtesy of the PS3's PlayStation Store, and to be perfectly honest I still love it. You were probably expecting me to say that - like many of the early 3D games - it just doesn't look anywhere near as good on-screen as it does in my head. And that's true. In technical terms the game has aged badly - there's stacks of draw-in and the whole thing looks very primitive, but you know what? In the areas that count - the feel, the track design, the art direction and the music, Wipeout still rocks the house. It's a classic for a reason, but that said, I'm pretty glad to be hopping back to where the series is at now. Buttery smooth visuals and controls, gorgeous trackside detail, stacks of modes and online play in a handheld! The future (a.k.a. the present) certainly is grand!
Wipeout Pulse Soundtrack Details
June 28, 2007 - Now that we have Wipeout Pulse code in-house at IGN AU, we decided to jot down all the tracks that are currently in the game to give you all an idea of the A grade soundtrack that Studio Liverpool is putting together for this title. Here's the line-up as it currently stands.
Wipeout Pulse AU Interview
June 14, 2007 - Wipeout Pure was easily one of the highlights of the early PSP catalogue. An excellent addition to one of funkiest racing series' of the 3D era, and a fantastic handheld racer in its own right, Wipeout Pure hit the PSP scene with speed, serious challenge and a great soundtrack. And now Wipeout's back to do it all again in Pulse. The game's due in September, so to find out a little more about it, we spoke to Colin Berry, the Lead Designer on the game at Studio Liverpool.

Sometimes you can gauge the exact tenor of how your kids' behavior registered with others by the nature of the comments they make to you upon parting. Today, I departed amide a barrage of, "Kids can be really hard, but you are so good with them!" and "We just want to whisk you away to a cabin the the woods for a few days when that baby is weaned!" and "My friend who has three kids would like to be mildly injured in an automobile accident so that she can spend a few days of peace in the hospital," a fantasy with which I am well-acquainted.
Not that I really needed a scientific form of measurement; I was there, too. I was witness to all the couch jumping, decorative-ball throwing, screaming contests (literally) and, for the grand finale, kid-ese for "it is time to go," the wadding up of magazine pages and for game of throwing them at my host and her tiny baby.
I know that our visits to the homes of others is like a home invasion from the local street gang. Brigham and I have tried to console ourselves with jokes about how we need to take back the night (and day) from the neighborhood gang (that lives in our home) and in whom we live in fear. I will never forget the look of sad defeat in Brigham's face during that Sunday School Meeting when one of the boys snatched Brigham's new iphone away from him and cackled, truly cackled, in his face the way a bully would to a small victim. That was the day I realized that the kids were like a street gang, only without the drugs and guns. I think. Even a visit to a store or the pool will rapidly deteriorate into an amphibeous assault upon enemy territory. I know that people often feel embarrassed for me, but the worst part is that they don't need to because I gave up any hopeful aspirations that would bridge me over to the disappointment that would make embarrassment even possible a really long time ago.
I do not mean to say that they are bad kids. They aren't (usually). They are wonderful. They are my favorite people. They are just wild and uncivilized. They are little boys. I feel boys need a better spokesman to act as an agent for them to the world. The planet doesn't seem to understand little boys. Mothers of boys understand them, but only for the years during which their kids are young, and then the same magic that enables children to hear the tinkling of Santa's sleighbell evaporates and those mothers, too, turn into the tone deaf Unbelievers in What Little Boys are Capable Of.
"Run them," my friend agreed sympathetically after I told her that I thought maybe prebreakfast laps would be advisory. "Run them like dogs." A small trampoline in the basement is not a bad idea, either. Nor is a much larger house with a fenced yard.
Yes, our home life is chaotic. We do descend upon each and every room in it the way we descend upon you in your homes, in your church meetings, in your classrooms, in your stores and restaurants, parks and pool: like a pack of animals, like a platoon of crazed marines, like a hurricane.
"In three years," I told my friends today "my life will be a lot quieter." Maybe this isn't true, but it is certainly the case that I am on a trajectory that will lead ultimately to more and more calm moments and fewer and fewer wild ones. Realizing this reminded me of a short story I read recently about an empty-nester divorced woman attending a small family gathering in the home of her ex-husband and his new family, complete with teenage girls. The ex-wife is sad to see that his new family--the one he trader her in for--treats him poorly; he indicates by expression that he regrets his choice. The entire duration of the story you feel sort of sorry for the exhusband, but in the final sentence the author turns all your feelings upside down.
I include that because, at the end of my 15 minutes of peaceful ruminations during the drive home, I came to a similar conclusion. I do feel like I exist in the middle of a living, breathing hurricane. But it is a hurricane that brings me life and meaning and all the best things human existence has to offer. And when it subsides, years and years from now but we all know how quickly those slip through our fingers, I am afraid that my heart will be left in the empty crater carved out by those wild little beasts of boys, and silent.

I'm right there with you. It reminds me of something a neighbor said to me recently. She is the mother of two adult daughters, one of whom has two sons: a seven-year-old and a three-year-old. The neighbor said to me: "I thought they (her grandsons) weren't normal. Then I did some research on the internet, and I realized they were just boys."

Our Programs
We believe it is essential that people understand the importance of a healthy River to our collective well-being. We are passionate about the need to leave the Colorado River better off than the way we found it, so we will advocate for programs and policies that result in a healthier River.
Educational Programs
Educational Programs at Redbud Center
The Colorado River Alliance leads programming for youth at the Wilkerson Center for Colorado River Education at Redbud Center in West Austin. Owned by LCRA, the five-acre riverside grounds feature exhibits that teach the history and importance of the Texas Colorado River. Interactive water features reveal how flooding and water supply is managed by the Highland Lakes and dams system. Rainwater harvesting and storm water management systems demonstrate how water can be conserved and protected. And don't miss the beautiful river view from the outlook! The grounds are open to the public free of charge. Youth and adult programming provided by the Colorado River Alliance includes grounds exploration and volunteer-led activities in both English and Spanish.
Texas Colorado River Mobile Learning Experience
Housed in a 40-foot trailer, this project will bring a museum-quality learning experience to Central Texas schools. Students will enter a watery world where science and technology merge to encourage critical thinking about our most precious resource. Interactive models will engage and instruct, inspiring students to go out and make a difference.
Community Engagement Programs
Colorado River Tour
The Colorado River Tour is a semi-annual series which aims to inform and elevate the dialog about the Colorado River and Texas water resources among regional leaders. Tour attendees represent state and regional leadership, water planning experts, water managers, and community stakeholders who will spend two full days focused on Texas' complex water issues. Put your name on the Tour and be recognized as a leader and problem solver. To read about our most recent River Tour, click here.
Barstow Speaker Series
Created in 2007 by a generous gift from the Barstow Foundation, the goal of the Barstow Speaker Series is to bring prominent political, business, community, and environmental leaders together to address members and friends of the Colorado River Alliance on a variety of topics pertaining to environmental stewardship.
Environmental Outreach & Action
Lake Travis Underwater Cleanup
This community-driven event is vital to keeping the waters and shoreline of the Colorado River's Lake Travis clean and healthy for divers, boaters and visitors and maintaining a healthy aquatic ecosystem.
