Despite research that found Vista uptake among businesses is slowing, Michael Dell has predicted that most companies will migrate to the OS within two years.
Dell's chief executive has predicted that most of his company's business customers will migrate to Vista by 2009.
Speaking to journalists at Gartner's ITxpo Symposium in Orlando, Florida last week, Michael Dell said: "We have a number [of business customers] who have gone to Vista, and almost all are planning to go to Vista: some in 2008, and some in 2009. As they take on new IT deployments with new hardware features, Vista will be much better supported."
However, Dell's assertions run contrary to research published earlier in October by market research company Context, which found that Vista sales for business machines were slowing.

Jacob Tremblay's campaign for cutest kid continues.
The young actor took to Instagram on Monday, sharing moments from last night's Academy Awards, while also reminiscing on his past with Sofia Vergara.
In the four-photo collage, Tremblay, 9, includes two throwback pictures with Vergara, 43, which look to have been taken on the set of his first movie. The other two photos are snaps – originally posted by the Modern Family star – from the Oscars, in which Tremblay and Vergara trade adoring looks at each other on the red carpet and inside the Dolby Theatre where the award show was held.
"I have aged SOOO much, but @SofiaVergara hasn't aged a day! #Oscars #TB #regram #myfirstmovie," the Room star captioned the photo.
While Tremblay and Vergara seem to go back a couple years, she's certainly a great addition to his growing list of current A-list friends, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, Sylvester Stallone, Daisy Ridley and of course, costar Brie Larson.

Of course, you want your home to be cool and comfortable during the dog days of summer, and toasty during winter's chilly days. But you also want to keep your energy bills under control, too.
While you can't do much about the weather outside, you can control the amount of energy you home is using.
And there's power and cold cash to be saved in coming clear on your home's major systems and appliances.
While owners' manuals provide the most information on maintaining appliances and heating and cooling systems, this list will show you how a little cleaning time can save you a (mildly) shocking amount of energy and money.
To keep the fridge chilling nicely and efficiently, try these home energy saving tips:
Regular maintenance, whether by you or a professional, is essential to keeping these systems running at peak performance.
After all, a clean, lubricated, properly adjusted furnace can save you up to 5 percent of heating costs. So don't skimp on a service call and month maintenance.
Here are some tips designed to save energy and cash without sacrificing clean shirts and socks:

Hot Springs, AR & Hot Springs National Park
Hot Springs Travel Blog› entry 2 of 6 › view all entries
First stop:
The Buckstaff bathhouse is the only operational bathhouse within Hot Springs NP and has been in operation since 1912. It is privately owned but is strictly monitored by the National Park Service. This explains the amazing prices. I purchased the traditional bathing package which includes a thermal mineral bath, sitz bath, vapor cabinet, mineral wrap, needle shower, Swedish massage, and loofa mitt. In total, it's almost an hour-and-a-half of pampering for $50. Good luck finding a good $50 massage back home. Smaller packages are also available. The water used in all of the baths comes directly from the natural underground resevoir and enters the tubs at 143º F (62º C). The staff at the Buckstaff is highly trained and very professional.
Note: If you are shy about being nude, you may not enjoy the experience. Customers spend a lot of time fully nude within plain view of several others (of the same sex only). Swimwear is allowed but is not commonly used.
Second stop:
The Fordyce Bathhouse was the premier bathhouse in Hot Springs during the early 1900's. Now it is the visitor center for Hot Springs National Park. The entire building has been restored to its original grandeur and is open for free self-guided tours.
Third stop:
The Mountain Tower is a 216-ft structure within Hot Springs NP. Visitors can take a glass elevator to the observation deck atop the tower which allows panoramic views of the city of Hot Springs and the Ouachita Mountains.

The Google translator with some help:
Incredibly, in 2011 the sale of bicycles exceeded that of cars. This has not been the case since the war. Times are definitely changing, the bicycle has set us in motion after years and years of lounging on chairs and office sofas, watching TV... In 2011 there were 1,750,000 against 1,748,143 bikes sold car.Though the news of this trend is supposed to be uplifting, give us hope, show that humans are finally on the right track, it's depressing to learn that nearly 1.8 million cars were sold in one year in Italy alone. Despite all that we know about the state of the environment, there seems no real end in sight to this century-old car mania.

Renel Theatre
7238 Ogontz Avenue,
1 person favorited this theater
The Renel Theatre opened in September 1937 with second run pictures and closed in 1976. This theatre had a very large (working) fireplace in the inner lobby. The interior had glass bricks, modern murals, recessed lighting. A nice neighborhood theatre. Great Saturday matinees.
The Renel Theatre was closed September 12, 1970 and it went over to screening adult movies. It was still an adult theatre in 1972.
Recent comments (view all 17 comments)
I was just at a funeral service at this former theatre, now the Upper Room Baptist Church. I was never in the Renel, but from reading these posts now see why this theatre was called the "sister" of the Erlen further Northwest, since there was also a "sunrise proscenium" effect here (see Bobo's post of 10/11/05) and a post of mine on the Erlen page on 1/21/05. The building, especially the lobby area, is in remarkably good shape. Now I wish I would have spent some Saturday afternoons here. BTW, the church lists its street number as 7236 not 7238.
Every so often when coming home from the station I will drive through my old neighborhood and I will stop church (theater). The folks are sooo nice and let me spend a little time remembering when I was a kid and spent a lot of time in this building. rg
Here is a 1969 photo:
If you google search EXACTLY "Boxoffice May 29, 1937" and when the issue appears, type "Philadelphia" in the search box then after enough clicks, you will eventually see a photo of the glass block fireplace & mural above it! (next to a photo of a giant Hollywood vertical sign).
Does the fireplace & mural survive?
The next time I come home from work that way I will stop in and check it out. rg
Thanks, Howard, for the link to the Renel's fireplace. I remember those chairs very well, although I never sat in them. When I was going to the Renel in the late 50's and early 60's the lounge always seemed to be very dimly lit and creepy to this young boy. I was very quick in going to the boys room (I think to the left of the fireplace, girls to the right) and did not want to linger in the lounge at all.
Here is a better view of the 1969 photo. The photo is from the Irvin Glazer theater collection:
I was an usher in the Renel Theatre in 1952 or 1953 (I was 15 years old). At that time, my responsibilities were to usher patrons to their seats by holding a flashlight behind me and focusing is on the patrons feet, to clean the theatre after performances (a formidable task after Saturday matinees), and to clean the restrooms. I also had to change the marquee on a very high ladder (in poor condition) with new performances. I got to know the projectionist quite well and he would invite me into the upstairs booth to watch while he switched from one projector to the next. When he needed to splice broken film he would give me a few 35 mm frames from films. I had frames from "Young Bess," "Stalag 17" and others. Most of the films shown I would watch 15-20 times, and it was after "The Juggler" played that I taught myself to juggle. My most vivid memory was when we converted to 3-D. I worked until 3:00am while the screen was painted silver and a device was added to the two projectors for coordinated projection. Films that we had during this period were "Bwana Devil" and the "Wax Museum." The Renel was a "2nd Run" theatre so most of the films that were presented were several weeks or months old by the time they arrived at the theatre. Several years later, my sister worked at the Renel in the ticket booth selling tickets.
I thought I remembered seeing To Sir With Love there in 1968, so I questioned the 1967 closing date. This picture shows the theater apparently still open with a 1969 Pontiac in the foreground. Maybe 1967 should be 1976? That's the year a church purchased and repurposed the building. http://s132.photobucket.com/user/kencmcintyre/media/003-63.jpg.html
The last day of advertising for the Renel in the Inquirer looks like September 12, 1970, with "Cry of the Banshee" and "Kiss and Kill" as the features. A November 28, 1971 story about neighbors protesting the XXX policy calls the house simply the Adult Theater, while a Daily News story from February 8, 1972 about a robbery of the place calls it the Consenting Adult Theater. The adult operation does not appear to have advertised in either of those papers.

The Nikon D50 is a photographer's digital dream come true. Combining Nikon's advanced SLR technology with the simplicity that many point-and-shoot digital camera uses have come to expect, the D50 offers a wide array of features that will satisfy both the weekend picture taker as well as the serious photographer who is looking for an affordable digital SLR solution.
The D50's connection ports are easily accessible.
"In the cockpit": controls at the ready. View larger.
Easy-to-navigate menu functions.
Rechargeable battery compartment.
For starters, the D50 features a new 6.1 effective megapixel Nikon DX Format CCD image sensor and a highly advanced image processing engine that team together to create truly faithful image files of up to resolutions of 3008 x 2000 pixels. Continuous shooting at 2.5 frames per second can be maintained for bursts of up to 137 pictures, making action photography a reality. Pictures are instantly processed and recorded to the photographer's compact SD memory card (not included). A Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface supports faster transfer of images when connected to a compatible computer.
With the D50, your shutter speed choices extend from 30 seconds to 1/4,000 second. An automated high-speed flash sync speed up to 1/500 second makes high-quality fill flash photography possible, and you also have the option of manually controlling the bulb setting for long exposures. Auto ISO maximizes available light by automatically setting ISO-equivalent sensitivity across the available range of 200 to 1600, but photographers also have the option to set the ISO sensitivity manually for greater control.
Best of all, the D50 allows you to use any one of Nikon's professional-grade AF and DX Nikkor lenses. The AF Zoom-Nikkor 28-80mm f3.3-5.6G that's included with the D50 features one aspherical lens element with a high-performance Nikon Super Integrated Coating that delivers superior color reproduction while minimizing ghost and flare. A rounded diaphragm opening with seven blades makes out-of-focus elements appear more natural, and the aspherical lens element minimizes distortion, especially at the periphery area, for superior optical performance. Compact and lightweight with a comfortable, well-balanced feel, this wide angle-to-portrait zoom lens is ideal for travel landscapes, scenics, and general family photography.
Approaching Point-and-Shoot Simplicity
For those who want professional-quality images but without having to think about the settings, the D50's scene-optimized Digital Vari-Program modes simplifies the picture-taking process and frees you to concentrate on capturing those special moments. Selecting one of the seven easily distinguishable icons from the handy exposure mode dial optimizes otherwise complex settings and produces consistently remarkable results. The Child Mode, for instance, makes it easier to take memorable pictures of the little ones complete with ideal vivid color and contrast — ready to print beautifully without the fuss of later adjustments at the computer. Other modes include Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Child, Close Up, Sports, and Night Portrait.
Among the many features that make the Nikon D50 an exceptional digital SLR choice are:
2.0 inch 130,000 pixel TFT LCD with adjustable brightness
Supports JPEG, RAW (NEF) and JPEG + RAW (NEF) file formats
Lightweight but strong polycarbonate body over a metal frame
Built in, five-mode popup flash and external flash hot shoe
Included CD-ROM loaded with PictureProject software
The compact, lightweight design of the D50 makes it easy to carry on any outing, and the camera's on-screen menus present clear and helpful user information in plain language on a large 2.0-inch LCD monitor. The high-capacity rechargeable lithium-ion battery helps extend mobility and convenience by delivering the power to shoot up to 2,000 images on a single charge. In short, the D50 delivers the professional-level quality of an SLR of this class but with many of the convenient automatic features that can make photography so fun.
What's in the Box

PARIS, March 19 (Reuters) - Kylian Mbappe capped a remarkable week when he netted a double as Monaco beat Caen 3-0 away to extend their Ligue 1 lead provisionally to six points on Sunday.
Mbappe scored in each half and won a penalty that was converted by Fabinho to lift the principality team to 71 points from 30 games, six clear of second-placed Paris St Germain, who host Olympique Lyonnais later on Sunday.
The 18-year-old Mbappe scored the opener on Wednesday as Monaco beat Manchester City to advance into the quarter-finals of the Champions League, before receiving a maiden call up to the France squad for their World Cup qualifier against Luxembourg and a friendly against Spain later this month.
Mbappe opened the scoring after 13 minutes with a low left-footed shot that beat keeper Remy Vercoutre.
He was then brought down by Damien Da Silva as he raced into the area, and Fabinho converted the resulting penalty to put the visitors in the driving seat.
Mbappe was at it again nine minutes before fulltime when he scored his 12th league goal of the season with a fine header from Joao Moutinho's cross. It was his ninth in his last seven appearances.
The defeat left Caen in 16th place on 32 points, four above the relegation zone. (Reporting by Julien Pretot; Editing by Toby Davis)

iPhone 6 User Suffers Second Degree Burns
The old rice trick just didn't work.
Luke Schilhab of Lake Jackson, Texas made a mistake, and paid the price. Last Saturday, Schilhab decided to take a dip in a swimming pool. Unfortunately, he took his iPhone 6 into the pool with him. By the time he realized, the phone was soaked, and quickly turned off.
Schilhab attempted to do the first thing most of us do if we've ever got a cell phone wet. He put it in a container of rice to dry out. But it just didn't work. Sunday night, he took the phone out of the rice and attempted to turn it on. But to no avail. Now, with a destroyed iPhone, Schilhab went to sleep with the phone next to him.
The next morning, Schilhab woke with a start to find that he had rolled over onto the phone and he suffered second degree burns.
"I didn't even know what it was that burnt me right off the bat until I jumped up and turned on the light and looked over. It was my phone," said Schilhab.
On Monday, Schilhab purchased a new iPhone.
Now, this story is a slight bit different from the much ore typical story of exploding iPhones. This phone was damaged, before the user was injured. This was definitely not normal wear and tear on a phone and I don't believe Apple could really be blamed for this. However, I would take this as an opportunity.
If you soak an iPhone, don't waste rice. Don't waste time. Just shove that phone off into the bin. But make sure it's fireproof. Then head here and get yourself a real smartphone.

When James David Santini died Sept. 22 at age 78 after a short illness, an era came to an end. The last congressman for all of Nevada — the Silver State now boasts four representatives rather than one at-large seat — Santini was elected in 1974 when a Democratic class swept into office following Richard Nixon's Watergate downfall. In 1981, he welcomed President Ronald Reagan to Washington, was one of scores of Blue Dog Democrats who supported Reagan tax cuts, increased military spending and deregulation. He became a Republican, ran unsuccessfully for the Senate, but remained in Washington serving Nevada interests.
Born, raised and educated in Reno — except for law school in San Francisco — Santini served as an Army judge advocate general officer at Fort Huachuca, Ariz., then returned to Las Vegas as a Clark County deputy district attorney, public defender and District Court judge prior to his election to Congress. In his spare time, he searched the Nevada desert for arrowheads and American Indian artifacts (his basket collection was museum quality), but bridled that the federal government owns 85 percent of Nevada. Thus, when that ownership impinged on growing Las Vegas, he teamed with cantankerous but powerful Democratic Rep. Phil Burton of California to craft rare legislation that sold U.S. Bureau of Land Management acreage in Clark County in exchange for environmentally sensitive lands around Lake Tahoe for inclusion in a national forest.
Willing to lead on big battles, he fought Carter's plan to pave over Nevada for MX missile hangers and racetracks. I cautioned him about entering a national defense fray but he was steadfast. "It's wrong, and I plan to defeat it." He did.
William Perry Pendley is president of Mountain States Legal Foundation and is author of "Sagebrush Rebel: Reagan's Battle with Environmental Extremists and Why It Matters Today" (Regnery, 2013).

text: Been getting an increasing rumbling sound from my 10 year old sub as its level turned up (not even a third of the way). Came across a 2010forum post of mine in which I had a noise problem with this sub. Opened the back and found some wires dangling. Taped them up and the noise was gone. Figured that I was having the same problem now. Opened the sub and found the tape was unwound and lying on top of the speaker. Retaped the wires, but now still getting the rumbling sound. Is this repairable? And if it is (I naively suspect that the problem is with the speaker cone?), how do I get to work on the speaker as I can't figure how to get to it. Specifically, the grill screen doesn't come off and opening in the back is rather smallish.

About Us
The Community Farm
raises fruits and vegetables for those in need through sustainable organic farming practices; offers opportunities for community service; and provides a venue for educational and community development programs.
Located in Agua Fria (Cold Spring), a state-designated Traditional Historic Village just south of Santa Fe, the farm is one of the oldest and last remaining farms in Santa Fe County. A rare community asset in the high desert southwest, the farm applies appurtenant water rights to 5 acres of vegetables and over 80 fruit trees.
As a working model of small-scale urban food production, the farm helps volunteers deepen their understanding of where food comes from, the role of agriculture in local food security, and the interconnectedness of the land, our health, and our community.
The farm relies on volunteers from all walks of life, ages, and ability. The farm is totally dependent on the willing hands and hearts of our volunteers – without you the farm couldn't function! Volunteers gain hands-on knowledge of organic and sustainable farming practices as well as the satisfaction of giving back to the community.
Our Farm is shovel ready and open to all to visit and learn while enjoying the beauty and bounty of agricultural open space in Santa Fe.
The Community Farm Story
The Community Farm was established in the 1950s by native John Stephenson. After serving in World War II and retiring from the Forest Service, he dedicated the operation of the farm to sustainable agriculture and charitable giving. John has been named a Living Treasure by the City of Santa Fe, received a Thousand Points of Light Award from President Clinton, and in 2009 was honored with The Sustainable Santa Fe Lifetime Achievement Award. Today the farm is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

In order for you to graduate from high school, you will need to complete 40-hours of community service. This is a great way for you to meet new people in your community and make friends. It will also give you a chance to learn new skills, which will be important when you are looking for a job.
Volunteering will also help you learn more about where you live. In most communities, there are youth organizations where students such as yourself can participate in such activities. Your school can also help you find where to look.
This part of graduation requirements is known as community involvement. In addition to earning 30 credits, all students must complete a minimum of forty (40) hours of community involvement before graduation.
The 40-hours may be earned anytime during secondary school but they must be completed outside of classroom time. You can even start earning your community involvement hours in the summer before you enter Grade 9. You can volunteer for a number of activities!
Making arrangements for the 40-hours is the responsibility of students and parents and it will be necessary to have your plan for community involvement approved.
For families that are new to Canada and to their local community, it may be difficult to know how to begin this process. The guidance counsellor or other school personnel will explain how to find the right kind of community involvement activity and how to submit it for approval.

Ashley Roberts has allegedly distanced herself from her bankrupt dad and her criminal brother.
The I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! finalist has a 50/50 chance of being crowned Queen of the Jungle tonight (December 1), but according to a source Roberts won't be celebrating her achievement with two members of her family.
The Pussycat Doll's father Pat Roberts, who is the former drummer of '60s supergroup The Mamas and the Papas, has suffered from severe financial problems and declared bankruptcy in 2005.
A family friend told The Mirror: "It's terribly sad. Pat used to be so close to Ashley but in recent years their relationship has become strained."
The 65-year-old's car company was said to have not met Arizona's strict Corporation Commission rules, and Roberts was accused of defrauding investors, meaning he had to pay roughly £190,000 ($304,285) in compensation.
The source revealed: "Ashley used to idolise her dad and started singing and dancing as a tiny child to make him happy.
"She really was the apple of his eye and he fully supported her decision to move to Hollywood immediately after she left school to try for a showbiz career.
"No-one was prouder than Pat when she became a burlesque dancer even though her routines were very risqué.
"But Pat lived through the crazy, sex and drug-fuelled '60s and little shocks him. Ashley became an overnight sensation, within six months she was part of the Pussycat Dolls."
Roberts has also distanced herself from her younger brother Jayce Roberts, according to a friend.
The 26-year-old has been arrested dozens of times in Phoenix, Arizona, Los Angeles and Las Vegas for a variety of offences, including indecent exposure, assault, theft, drug possession, trespassing and intimidating a witness.
The friend told the newspaper: "The family is at a loss about Jayce. He's a nice enough kid but he really has gone off the rails.
[Left: Ashley pictured with her father / Right: Ashley's brother Jayce Roberts]
"He keeps on getting arrested and his criminal record isn't pretty.
"Ashley has distanced herself from everything. I suppose she is being careful and looking out for her career.
"We haven't seen anything of her in a while. She's close to her mum but that's about it."
Roberts will battle it out with Charlie Brooks to be crowned the winner of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! tonight on ITV at 9.30pm.

Thread: Coolidge
#1 Coolidge04-10-2013, 05:45 PM
Release date: February 12, 2013
Amity Shlaes, author of The Forgotten Man, delivers a brilliant and provocative reexamination of Americas thirtieth president, Calvin Coolidge, and the decade of unparalleled growth that the nation enjoyed under his leadership. In this riveting biography, Shlaes traces Coolidges improbable rise from a tiny town in New England to a youth so unpopular he was shut out of college fraternities at Amherst College up through Massachusetts politics. After a divisive period of government excess and corruption, Coolidge restored national trust in Washington and achieved what few other peacetime presidents have: He left office with a federal budget smaller than the one he inherited. A man of calm discipline, he lived by example, renting half of a two-family house for his entire political career rather than compromise his political work by taking on debt. Renowned as a throwback, Coolidge was in fact strikingly modernan advocate of womens suffrage and a radio pioneer. At once a revision of man and economics, Coolidge gestures to the country we once were and reminds us of qualities we had forgotten and can use today.
This is a must read for all conservatives.Pffffffffffffffffffffff! Buh Bye Big Ears
Before Reagan, Coolidge was the greatest President in History.
As it stands right now:
1) Reagan
2) Coolidge
3) Lincoln
Not one Democrat comes close to any of them. Unless you are talking about he worst President in history. At which point FDR is. Then Barry, and then Carter. Yes, Barry has surpassed Carter at this point.

I'm looking forward to reading this one. I saw an interview with Shaes about it on CSPAN's Book TV, and she's not a very compelling interview, but I've read another of her books and she's a pretty good writer."Today, [the American voter] chooses his rulers as he buys bootleg whiskey, never knowing precisely what he is getting, only certain that it is not what it pretends to be." - H.L.

44: The little oIt's not how old you are, it's how you got here.
It's been a long road and not all of it was paved.

Tsukada Ryouichi, Commander General of the Gotei 13
SpoilerAge: 520
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 152
Reiatsu: Steel/Silver.
Battle Stats (for my amusement):
Physical Strength: 100 (Ryouichi has a lot of physical strength in melee combat, even if his skill is aimed more towards defense.)
Offense: 60 (What skill Ryouichi has in offensive prowess are more aimed towards quickly incapacitating enemies in a nonlethal manner; so it's not that he's not skilled enough, as much as he only uses a set portion of it.)
Defense: 100 (Ryouichi's defensive skill is top-notch. He always keeps a skilled awareness of his surroundings, and his zanpaktou's abilities add a certain degree of defensibility as well; all in all, it's an arduous task to harm him in melee combat.)
Mobility: 80 (While not -the- fastest, Ryouichi still has an impressive level of speed, which adds to his impressive defensive skills, as well.)
Intelligence: 80 (Ryouichi isn't a genius, but his experience in tune with his tactical mind add for a strong enough asset to be trusted in.)
Kido/Reiatsu: 100 (Ryouichi's reiatsu is massive when he cares to use it; as far as kido goes, he mostly holds his own in bakudo, and has a decent ability to use keikatsu.)

Princess Carina von Geister-Lucaster, favored daughter of Las Noches
SpoilerType: Arrancar
Age: 383
Height: 3'10
Weight: 57 lbs.
Reiatsu/Speaking Color: Goldenrod/#DAA520
Aspect of Death: Carina does not possess an Aspect of Death, as she is an artificial arrancar.
Ruwa Bello, Fraccion
SpoilerAge: 346.
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 142
Reiatsu: Sienna
SpoilerRuwa is in many ways what one could consider "attractive". Her long, wild, black hair is always tousled in such a way as to make her seem intriguing; usually, it covers half of her face, only revealing one of her yellow, serpentine eyes. Her feminine form is curved in all the right ways, and while her assets seem like they may get in the way, she manages to have an impressive level of balance despite it.
As far as clothing goes, her flirtatious lifestyle is manifested in the fact that Ruwa "dresses" in a long strand of red cloth wrapped around her body in such a way as to only cover parts of her anatomy that should be left to the imagination, even if it really doesn't leave much. She usually wears some kind of jewelry, but the only pieces that are always on her person are a pair of golden bracelets and one golden anklet.
Her Hollow hole is just above her left hip, and her mask is a bone, serpentine anklet bordering her right foot.
Ruwa charges her cero by making a peace sign with her hand; the cero forms in between her fingers.
Despite the picture, outside of release Ruwa does have legs.
SpoilerRuwa is, in one word, promiscuous.
But not without reason. She learned that she had a niche in getting her way by flaunting her body in more ways than one. She always shows interest in those who she thinks she can get some benefit out of, regardless of gender. She makes friends or partners with such a person, usually drains them of all they are worth, and then leaves them to find another. She's spoiled to a fault, and definitely within the bounds of gold-digging.
However, she does have a soft spot... in all of the "relationships" she's been in, she has developed the desire to find someone she can truly love; in this, and that she has naturally gotten as far as one can get in pairing with an Espada to become a Fraccion, she might not be too inclined on sucking the livelihood out of someone, however, sometimes her nature does get the better of her.
Spoiler...To be revealed.
Ruwa does, however, have a reputation for her promiscuous behavior; both good and bad.
Zanpaktou: Bailarína Del Amor
SpoilerSealed Form:
SpoilerBailarína Del Amor takes the form of a short dagger, with a intricate blade inlaid with gold, and a velvet handle.
Resurreccion: "Forget-me-not, Bailarína Del Amor."
SpoilerRuwa's legs are encased in the prehensile tail of a serpent, long and powerful enough to constrict opponents. Her speed drops down a bit in that her ability to sonido is hindered, however the hierro localized to her tail is stronger than usual, so it can also be used as a blocking implement. From her back, six serpentine heads extend; each with golden hoods in the form of king cobras. Her tail, when used to constrict, has a very powerful crushing force, able to snap bones easily.
Hypnotic Gaze: Each of Ruwa's snakes can concentrate their gaze on a single foe, and those caught looking at it have the memory of an attack that Ruwa has witnessed. One can avert their eyes, or close them completely to avoid it, but this of course comes with the risks of doing such. Until Ruwa either seals, or the specific snake uses their gaze to seal another ability, their memory of that specific attack will be out of reach. When applied to something as generic as swordplay, it won't completely negate their ability to use a weapon, but their knowledge of swordplay is forgotten. As another example, if an enemy uses a specific kido against her (say, byakurai), they will forget that kido, until they use another kido Ruwa uses Hypnotic Sway in response to. Severing a serpent's head will also bring back knowledge of an ability to their effective owner.
Serpents of Love: Each serpent possesses a venomous bite that causes temporary paralysis in a matter of minutes (so Ruwa can more effectively kiss them).
Kiss of Eternal Love: Love only in an odd sense, when Ruwa kisses a foe, they begin to petrify from their feet up. This is only temporary petrification, however, crushing any part of their bodies while under this effect has very grim effects, rendering the body part unusable for some time. The petrification wears off after around an hour. Body pieces never seperate, however they can be fragmented (which explains how limbs stay moderately intact after being crushed).
Battle Stats:
Physical Strength: 20 (Ruwa likely only possesses any degree of physical strength as from being a Hollow (arrancar).)
Offense: 20 (Ruwa is poorly suited to any offensive activities, having a low degree of skill outside of instinctual "knowledge".)
Defense: 80 (Ruwa's Hierro is fairly impressive in comparison to her other abilities; it can be fairly hard to cut her without some major effort)
Mobility: 60 (While her mobility drops in Resurreccion, outside of it she is fairly proficient in sonido, using that as a means to get out of a fight that seems hopeless.)
Intelligence: 50 (Ruwa isn't particularly overly intelligent, but she possesses a knowledge of interpersonal skills that could be of use against emotionally unstable opponents.)
Cero/Reiatsu: 40 (Ruwa's cero and bala are on the low end of average, but they are at least preferable to a physical assault.)
Possible Connections!
- Paramonos.
- The Espada she's Fraccion to.
- Fellow Fraccion.
- Former lovers/friends.

Spoiler"Split the Sea, Amatsu Watatsumi!" (天津海神, Heavenly Sea God)
Hibiki's entire body is encased in a shell-like armor; it is fairly hard, but can be broken through with sufficient effort. Watatsumi has total dominion over water in this form; creating large waves, water spouts, or even thin blades of pressurized water. In addition, the armor created by Amatsu Watatsumi can be rebuilt using water, though it depletes any nearby sources in an appropriate degree (Watatsumi still cannot create water out of nothing; aside from the effects of the iron ball). The blasting effects of the jar are effectively doubled, and the iron ball, upon hitting a solid object (not the ground) can transmute 50~ cubic feet of solid matter into water.
Battle Stats:
Physical Strength: 20 (Hibiki is by no means strong, only benefitting slightly from the benefits of being a shinigami.)
Offense: 20 (Hibiki isn't particularly skilled in offense, either; only what he learned from the academy long ago.)
Defense: 50 (Being a primary kido caster, Hibiki took it upon himself to learn more defensive maneuvers before he went into seclusion.)
Mobility: 40 (Hibiki isn't particularly quick above land, however, underwater, his speed essentially doubles (indicated by the blue) with his skill in swimming.)
Intelligence: 90 (Being a former Kido Corps member, Hibiki primarily focused on broadening his mind; he is fairly intelligent, and can devise strategies on the spot in most situations.)
Kido/Reiatsu: 100 (While Hibiki's reiatsu isn't impressive, his kido is top-notch, even if he doesn't have full mastery of water-type kido.)
Viatrix Klossner, Owner of Furousha Shop
SpoilerType: Bount
Age: 122
Height: 4'11"
Weight: 108
Reiatsu/Speaking Color: Navy
SpoilerViatrix, in many respects, looks like a typical teenage girl; thanks to her existence as a Bount, her physical aging has more or less ceased. Her hair is long and black, usually covering a fair part of her fair-skinned face. Her eyes border somewhere between brown and red at times.
While Vi isn't amazingly strong, her body is kept in perpetual good shape from the girl's activity. She's fairly thin, her assets somewhere on the scale of average.
On Vi's migration to Phoenix Town, she's taken to wearing the local high-school uniform, despite not going there herself.
SpoilerViatrix is a fairly complex machine when it comes to emotions. At times, she may come across as initially abrasive to people who aren't customers in her store. However, she always treats people she can milk for money or services with respect.
Of course, Vi also has a fairly severe temper, so crossing her usually carries the risk of gaining her ire, which is a terrifying situation to be in for most people.
SpoilerViatrix has been traveling for as long as she's been able to walk. During her travels, she's taken backseat to many Mortal and Spiritual events. In this time, she's found a knack in collecting and creating new wares for her business. Little is known about the time she had growing up, as she prefers to tend to business before conversing with people.
Doll: Schwerkraftfuchs (Gravity Fox)
SpoilerSchwerkraftfuchs takes the form of an umbrella outside of release.
When released, Schwerkraftfuchs takes the form of a metallic gray fox. As most Bount dolls, it has supernatural strength and swiftness as compared to normal beings. However, its true purpose is the ability to finely manipulate the "personal gravity", or more appropriately the mass of any person or object it's touching. While the objects or people themselves are never directly hurt by the manipulation of weight, they are under the mercy of the surroundings. Increasing weight gradually slows people down, and may make them prone to crushing through terrain if they're too heavy. Decreasing weight gradually makes the person quicker of foot, however, strung gusts of wind hold the risk of blowing them away. The changes last for as long as Schwerkraftfuchs is touching the foe, and for around 30 seconds after the fact.
Viatrix has developed a unique style of fighting with her dolls' abilities. Given that Schwerkraftfuchs can manipulate her weight by staying on her back, the girl has focused her martial skill on hand-to-hand prowess. Instead of focusing on physical strength, she instead has Schwerkraftfuchs increase her weight at the moment of impact of one of her punches or kicks, to increase the damage it deals; and decrease her weight to increase the efficiency of her dodges.
Doll Fusion: Not Yet Achieved.
SpoilerIn Viatrix's doll fusion with Schwerkraftfuchs, her entire form becomes indistinct, covered in a silvery metal sheen. A large tail protrudes from her rear, with longswords which glow with various colored runes nestled therein, and a pair of fox ears stick up from the top of her head. Her hands end in claws, which can be used for impromptu slashing attacks.
Weight Manipulation: Viatrix can freely manipulate her mass, as well as those she touches, as her doll's normal ability.
Ruby Blades: These pair of blades repulse foes with the power of gravity, sending them flying upon impact.
Sapphire Blades: These pair of blades imbue an attracting force to Viatrix, making it harder for the those struck to run away. The effect lasts for around a minute, if not struck again.
Emerald Blades: These pair of blades imbue an anti-gravity force, making it harder for foes to approach Viatrix. The effect lasts for around a minute.
Garnet Blades: These pair of blades give the target a gravitational pull, making close objects be pulled into them, possibly causing damage & making it harder to move. The effect lasts for around a minute, if not struck again.
Graviton Blade: By combining all 8 of the blades, Viatrix can wield this oversized zweihander (around 9 feet long), condensing and dispersing gravity for unique energy attacks.
Battle Stats:
SpoilerPhysical Strength: 30 (While definitely above the human threshold, Viatrix isn't particularly strong for a spiritual being.)
Offense: 60 (In addition to selling wares over nearly a century, Viatrix has honed her offensive skill through many types of martial arts.)
Defense: 30 (Viatrix is mostly offensive-minded, but she does keep up a decent defense through her skill.)
Mobility: 50 (Particularly while using her dolls' abilities, Vi is fairly mobile, always moving unless she's rearing up for a strike.)
Intelligence: 60 (When conventional methods don't work, Vi can usually come up with an alternative method to fight a foe.)
Kido/Reiatsu: 0 (Viatrix has no kido to speak of, and as a Bount her reiatsu is naturally undetectable by normal means.)
Furousha Shop:
SpoilerViatrix has several types of spiritual wares in her store, not just useful for Shinigami, but anyone who's spiritually aware.
- Gigai: Viatrix has a wide selection of gigai types for her shinigami customers.
- Soul Candy: As above.
- Modsouls: As above, however their illegal nature makes Vi less likely to do up-front dealings with them.
- Hollow Trackers: Vi always keeps these in stock, as they tend to be useful even to non-shinigami.
- Reiatsu Concealment Cloaks: A valuable type of item, Viatrix occasionally brings these cloaks out for show.
- Kido Scrolls: (Non-Canon) Obtained from shinigami contacts, these scrolls duplicate the effects of kido for those spiritually aware who can't use kido themselves.
- Garganta Service: Mostly to keep the shinigami off of her back for consuming souls, Viatrix has at some point bargained for the secret of creating artificial Garganta. The reishi from the garganta realm gives Vi enough sustenance so she doesn't need to subside on Souls. However, she's willing to bargain for travel through the Garganta to most places, so it's a viable "ware".
- Reishi Cola: (Non-Canon) These bottles of reishi (disguised as soda) give Viatrix's fellow bount sustenance without having to resort to finding souls to eat. For a price, anyhow...
- More pending...
Talon Gunvhald, Privaron Espada 104
SpoilerAge: 223
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 114
Reiatsu(Speaking Color)/Cero: Indigo/Transparent
Aspect of Death: Vengeance
SpoilerSegunda Etapa: Not yet achieved.
SpoilerIn Segunda Etapa, Talon's entire body is covered by draconic "armor"... however, the appearance is hardly apparent, as in this form, Talon forces light to bend around her, making her effectively invisible, a transparent mass. Only when she stands still or is close in can a foe begin to see her, and it doesn't make her ability to move any more quiet.
Battle Stats:
SpoilerPhysical Strength: 60 (Talon possesses a fair amount of physical strength as an arrancar.)
Offense: 60 (Being a former Espada, Talon is fairly skilled in using her techniques in an offensive manner.)
Defense: 40 (Talon's hierro and dodging ability is fairly average.)
Mobility: 100 (Being able to fly in her ressurreccion, and a fairly skilled practitioner of sonido, Talon's mobility is certainly her most impressive aspect.)
Intelligence: 60 (Talon isn't a battle genius, but she can usually think her way out of a tough spot.)
Cero/Reiatsu: 40 (Talon's reiatsu and cero power are just below average.)
- Tark: Chew toy. Adamantly refuses the bear-man's advances.
- Alejandro: Most hated rival.
Agent 13 and Hollow Researcher, Tsukino Hiroto
SpoilerType: Mortal Medium
Age: 27
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 132
Speaking Color: Teal
SpoilerHiroto is a thin, pale, disheveled-looking man, with thin hair died blue and combed to one side, and remarkable blue eyes which he hides behind orange-tinted glasses. When not in a lab-coat, he tends to walk around in a green jacket and navy slacks.
SpoilerHiroto, in one word, is irrevocably insane. His methods are morally questionable, his empathy for the common man is nil, and he has little to no regard for the safety of society. There is no question he is a prime candidate for institutionalization, and yet SWORD continues to consider him a valuable asset (or a dangerous enough foe) to keep him on their side.
The only real humanity he shows is in the oddest of places; he treats the hollows he captures and mind-controls like his pets, as such, he is prone to fits of rage and plots of vengeance when one of them are killed.
SpoilerHiroto has long been a member of SWORD, as apparent by his rank, and one of the primary researchers on Hollows. Other than that, however...
SpoilerHiroto was condemned to an insane asylum, for his violent reaction to seeing hollows... or, rather, his violent reaction to seeing hollows killed. He spent a short period of his life as a small-time terrorist in the eyes of the Mortals, attempting to strike at Shinigami by setting bomb traps, completely ignoring the collateral damage. His skewed perspective had grown into a love for Hollows, considering them naturally beautiful and a pinnacle of evolution, even though his exposure was limited given the danger (he had mostly survived encounters with hollows on luck); so, shinigami purifying them was naturally a crime punishable by death in his eyes. During his trial, he held no issue in explaining his actions, which naturally caught the attention of SWORD, albeit not enough for them to bail him out from his sentence.
In his years in the Asylum he came up with a myriad number of theories on Hollows, which sparked SWORD's interest in freeing him from his prison.
Scanner: These pair of glasses have an intelligent computer that recognizes patterns and analyzes opponents for their weak points.
Spirit Shock: Harnessing power similar in theory to a seele schneider, this unique glove steals spiritrons from the air as well as opponents, physically draining them, and storing it in the glove for use with his other tools. It glows red when in use.
Trainer's Glove: This glove allows Hiroto to control Hollows with controllers (see below) attached to them with certain simple commands.
Aero Boots: These boots allow Hiroto to airwalk, much like a shinigami or hollow.
Hollow Controllers: These devices (small blue orbs when dormant) latch onto a Hollow's mask on contact, making the creature a slave to Hiroto's desire (as above). However, they can be removed (they protrude from the struck area) or damaged, freeing the hollow instantly. However, Hiroto can only control basic hollows with these; anything stronger than a Gillian is out of reach.
SpoilerHiroto always carries a fair number of smoke grenades, as well as knockout gas on his person. Other than that, he tends to be unarmed.
SpoilerThese Hollows are always in Hiroto's presence, and are more or less his favorites.
Flamespine: This hollow looks somewhat like a cross between a huge lizard and porcupine, with ash-gray skin, and a dozen or so red spines on its back. Each spine burns near the temperature of magma, are extremely sharp, and can be shot out like a projectile. Each spine takes about a half a minute to regenerate.
Ironwing: This green, insectile hollow stands upright at around 6 feet tall, with a pair of large wings like a fly and two iron-hard claws not unlike a crab. Ironwing boasts significant defenses, however a significant enough force can break through its carapace.
Octoblast: This blue, octopus-like Hollow has cannon-like openings at the end of each of its tentacles; from each of these, it can let loose an explosive blast of ink that blinds foes and hinders their movements.
Doompine: This tall, pine-tree-like hollow has low-level regeneration as long as it has contact with the sun, and attacks with several vines that stretch out from its body.
Magnus, Living Siege Machine of the Samsara
SpoilerType: Samsara
Age: Unknown
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 816 lbs.
Reiatsu/Speaking Color: Sandy Brown
Battle Music
SpoilerMagnus is pretty plain appearance-wise. His only notable trait from initial observations is that he is very short for a male. His hair is relatively short but messy, and almost perpetually dirty, coated with sand, dirt, and occasionally small pebbles are caught in it. His green eyes are unremarkable, and his teeth are yellowed. He is always wearing a brown hoodie and sweatpants, and almost constantly smells like dirt.
SpoilerMagnus is for the most part quiet and soft-tempered. He has an almost unnatural love for animals, but no particular interest in anyone else (not that he's hostile to them). However, this can all change on command from another Samsara, whereupon which he becomes a dangerous, aggressive force that will destroy anything in his path until told otherwise.
SpoilerMagnus has a smattering of hollow-like memories from his past, however he has little desire to find their origin point.
SpoilerMagnus is a Samsara, possessing all the abilities unique to them.
Blank Manipulation: Every member of the Samsara is capable of utilizing Blanks for various purposes. They may duplicate Kido (if their memories contain such information), create weapons or simple items, duplicate flashstep or sonido (again based purely on their memories), or fly. Samsara may also heal with the power of the Blanks, capable of restoring even lost limbs if given proper time and concentration.
Hollow Abilities:
SpoilerBala: Magnus has no particular inclination to use bala, preferring cero.
Cero: Magnus' cero are fairly powerful, but are mostly used for their secondary effect: they are unusually solid and upon contact with any kind of structure, they spread wide, to cause as much destruction as possible. As such, one well-placed cero could topple an entire skyscraper.
Hierro: Magnus' hierro is fairly powerful, allowing him to walk away unscathed from most blows.
Sonido: Magnus borders on complete incapability of sonido, so prefers not to use it. As such, his speed is fairly low and ponderous.
Stone Body: Though diminutive in stature, Magnus hides an unnatural body mass and strength, as if he were made from stone. He is very hard to push back or knock over, however this works against him as well as he is unable to jump or air walk for long before crashing to the ground.
Earth Control: By using blanks, Magnus can create earth in almost any state. He usually uses this to mold the battlefield or make unique offensive actions.
Animal Friend: Animals have an unusual level of friendliness towards Magnus. Usually.
Water Weakness: Water dissolves Magnus' earth structures, and appears to have a harmful effect on him, as well, reducing his mass and defenses.
'Resurreccion': Using a large number of blanks, Magnus can enter a state not unlike resurreccion, becoming a massive tyrannosaurus rex composed completely from stone. His defensive power skyrockets, and his speed gets a minor boost. He gains no notable abilities, and has not given a name to this state.
SpoilerAge: ? (Appears 11~).
Height: 4'3"
Weight: 58 lbs.
Reiatsu: Dark Slate Gray
SpoilerThis girl looks like roadkill sewn up into the semblance of a pre-teen girl. Red hair tied off to a single-side ponytail, tied with a belt. Different-colored eyes that seem plucked from different eyesockets. Different colored skin patches with stitches, zippers, and a projectile-like scar below her right collarbone. A stocking literally stitched into her right leg. Her left arm is entirely wrapped in bandage, with large bolts sticking out; truly, this girl screams out on a mere look as a crime against humanity, and yet she exists.
SpoilerThis nameless girl seems somewhat morose and sullen at most times. It almost adds a huggable trait to her, that could be tolerated if she didn't look like she should be crawling with maggots. This does not change in a fight, however oddly enough she is fairly quick to get into one if a threat is perceived.
SpoilerDo you really think you're going to find anything here? She's a mystery!
...Though this girl has been witnessed around Zaraki at times, if you ask the right people. She has somewhat of an undeveloped reputation for beating up people who try to mess with her, and occasionally crushing a few houses, though the description of her usually puts investigating shinigami off from believing the stories.
Zanpaktou: Sakadatsu (Reverse Constructor/Deconstructor)
SpoilerSealed Form:
SpoilerDeconstructor is a fairly long katana for such a small girl, with a blade measuring over half her height (2 feet 3 inches). Needless to say it is very unwieldy for her.
Shikai: "Blood! Blood! Blood! Love! Rock n' Roll, Sakadatsu!"
SpoilerWith a massive roar, Deconstructor's blade transforms into a wide, rotating hellblade that looks like a chainsaw. Its hilt is twisted and elongated, making for easier use by its master. In shikai, Deconstructor has very little cutting power for skin and bones, though it does leave very painful wounds, so foes sensitive to pain will likely be debilitated. Other than that, they are not fatal unless in great quantity (easily thrice what a normal sword needs). Deconstructor's true shikai power centers around its destructive reaction to non-biological matter (though one exception are trees). It easily cleaves through buildings, the ground, and even, if their owner is not careful, other zanpaktous.
Other Abilities:
SpoilerZombie Strength: The girl has remarkable strength that belies her size. Her hakuda is undeveloped, but a punch from her is certain to fracture or even break a bone, and can knock an average unseated out easily.
Zombie Body: Though she is as vulnerable from having her limbs chopped off if facing a cruel enough opponent, this does not seem to hinder her life any. Though she isn't likely to do much use in a fight with a missing arm, let alone if she's lopped into many pieces. With skilled hands, she can be sewn back together to no ill effects on her bodies function. As long as her brain is left mostly intact, she can be rebuilt.
Undeveloped Speed: Not unsurprising considering her other traits, this girl is rather fast for her size, even employing primitive shunpo. However, she often crashes through buildings, unawares, thanks to her lack of skill.

Sure, you think your little dude is cuter than my little dude, but how could we ever prove it? Actually, that's easier than it sounds. Charlotte Parent, a local magazine about and for, well, parents, is having a photo contest that's ridiculously easy to enter. All you've got to do is send a photo of your little dude or dudette dressed in red, white and/or blue to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Heck, you can even send in a picture of your own bad self to the contest. I'm thinking of entering since the lens of my camera is old and I wouldn't mind taking the risk of breaking it with my image. Contestants can win tickets to Carowinds amusement parks. The photos will be entered into the Charlotte Parent on-line photo gallery.
You've got until July 31 to enter. Why not haul out the camera and give it a shot? Worst-case scenario, you've got another great photo for your wallet.

Any one use it and are you seeing a good color response?
Just Mn is needed? Usually, good color is had by a balance between Fe, Mg and Mn.
Yes im in all the clay been working on ph problems but not seeing the green i would like.
Posted via Mobile Device
Hard to say without soil and tissue testing. I deal with soil that locks up materials applied to it. My best bets are chelated micronutrients applied as liquids. Be careful about high Mn solo, because that can lock up iron in the plant, requiring very high rates of iron to counteract it.

Leading consulting group with a 360° approach
Waterfront projects are highly regulated at the federal, state, and local levels. Regulatory awareness is a key component to successful project planning. Obtaining authorization is complicated by governing policies, stringent criteria and restrictive regulatory interpretation of governing policies.
In addition to the professional design and construction administration services, COWI Marine provides regulatory support to owners of waterfront projects. Generally, dredging, new structures or structures in need of repair will be required to have Federal, State, and sometimes Municipal permits. Our design concepts take into account these regulations and incorporate design components that make projects environmentally compatible or even enhance in-water habitat for wildlife. We work closely with regulatory agencies and ecological consultants to prepare an application that meets the owner's needs and also complies with regulatory guidelines. Field work includes surveying of the waterfront property and development of conceptual designs that meet the owner's objectives while complying with the regulations. COWI Marine will represent the owner during the permitting process and prepare and present designs in public forum or evaluation meetings, as required.

No second chance for San Onofre
In response to "San Onofre deserves a second chance" (Editorial, May 9): Being against old and defective nuclear power plants, sitting on a fault line in a tsunami zone with more than 8 million people living in harm's way, is only being for safety first.
There have not been any blackouts for the 15 months since San Onofre was shut down. Officials with the California Independent System Operator, which oversees the state's power grid, said [recently] they expect to get through another summer without blackouts even if San Onofre remains shut down.
Building San Onofre may have been a valiant effort in the 1970s in the search for clean energy, but now we know the extreme dangers of old nuclear power plants situated in earthquake and tsunami zones. We don't need to be exposed to such risks when we have so many other promising alternatives. Wind and solar power are much cleaner and safer, and they are becoming cheaper all the time. The less we invest in propping up old technology the more we can invest in the emerging sustainable alternatives. You don't have to be against nuclear power to see why this nuclear power plant should stay shut down. It is just not smart to restart.

Escondido's populist movement
By now Escondidans are finding residents from the Escondido Country Club (ECC) out collecting signatures to save the ECC neighborhood. Voters who don't live in the area might ask: Why should I support this initiative with my signature? There's one overriding answer: Because the day might come when you need our signatures for your neighborhood!
As far as I know, this is the first time this populist process has been attempted in Escondido. It need not be the last. But, if it fails to find support from the entire community, we'll likely have effectively surrendered our collective ability to influence the direction of this city. So, for self interest, if nothing else, please sign to show out-of-town developers that it's the residents of Escondido who care enough to steer their own ship.
James T. Strong
Greed prevails
I attended the HOA meeting for Country View Estates where Chris Brown from Stuck in the Rough offered a presentation on the recently closed Escondido Country Club (ECC). He made three main points: ECC will never again be a golf course, the current owner has no intention of selling, and the current petition to stop the development is illegal.
Coupled with Mayor Sam Abed's pronouncement at his recent town hall meeting that he will vote in favor of a housing development on the property ("Residents lobby mayor at town hall," North County Local, May 15), it seems certain that the quality of life that so many of us have enjoyed for years in Escondido is about to deteriorate.
Greed succeeds where all else fails.

Politicking is no 'social welfare'
In response to "IRS chief ousted in targeting scandal" (May 16): The IRS scandal, as reprehensible as it seems, has brought to light a big problem with the IRS code. It has to do with the 501(c)(4) groups. They are, by law, supposed to be charitable groups. The rules seem clear as to what they are supposed to be doing. They are supposed to be "social welfare" organizations. There is no mention in the code of them being political organizations. That is what many of these C4s have become, including Karl Rove's GPS Crossroads group and Obama's Organizing for Action group. These are huge political organizations that spend millions of dollars supporting political candidates and causes. They do very little for social welfare. Maybe this scandal will cause Congress to clarify the rules on what a social welfare organization is and is not.

Don't encourage law breakers
In response to Dan Shea's opinion page [commentary] "Immigration reform good for businesses and the nation" (May 16): I agree that we need to reform immigration. However, in his own words, "It is time for solutions that honor the law and the vital contributions," he speaks against illegals streaming into this country illegally.
I'm all for legal immigration. But helping people who break into our country and hide in the shadows isn't for me. I agree that something must be done, but giving them jobs and thus encouraging more people to break the law and head north isn't the solution.
Most people who sneak into this country don't want to help America. They'd rather take from us. I'm tired of my tax dollars being wasted on immigrants who come here illegally and expect us to pay their way — drug dealers from cartels, pregnant moms who want their anchor baby to be a citizen to help their paths to citizenship. All this needs to stop. America and Americans should come first. Why has this country lost sight of that?

text: Ok, so, seeing as how I'm not necessarily the least tech saavy person on here but I could possibly be the least phone tech saavy person on here, I have a few questions about rooting. Advantages, vs. disadvantages per say. I know that rooting it will A: get rid of AT&T bloatware, B: Allow tethering and C: allow sideloading of apps. Now, my questions are - is the bloatware really that bad, and since I don't use tethering or sideloading, is it worth it to me to root my phone? What am I missing? I know the disadvantages are possibly bricking your phone. I've never bricked a phone and I doubt I'd brick this one. I rooted a Samsung Blackjack before and it wasn't too terribly difficult. I had a Samsung Jack (blackjack 3) after that and I never bothered to mess with rooting it. Also, the lag fix.....is that when your screen lags at times when you switch screens or is that something totally different having to do with the GPS? Thanks...I'm starting to dig this forum!

I know the Twin Towers, the actual buildings, are a great symbol. And everyone identifies that day with those buildings.

Enough is Enough is a bold statement that has been gaining steam among LEOs and the Silent Majority all over the world. People are tired of hearing how police are portrayed by the media and how that false stereotype is carried over to everyday interactions between law enforcement, civilians and criminals. Stop with the false narrative in the media. Stop denying officers a simple fast meal or use of a restroom. STOP TARGETING COPS. Enough is Enough. It's time to support law enforcement and the good work they do keeping us safe instead of vilifying them.
