text: In arguing with creationists, you hear a lot of bizarre claims, and reasoning that is completely unburdened by fact or reason. I was recently talking with a creationist who liked to delve into arguments that had more bearing on astronomy than biology (they are quite fond of this, as I`m sure many of you know). He said that if the universe was really billions of years old, the whole night sky should be lit up with supernovae. Of course, I told him that the light from those supernovae takes tens or hundreds of millions of years to reach earth (sometimes longer) and that in and of itself disproves his claim about a young universe. However, even taking into account how long it takes light to reach the earth from distant supernovae, why is it that we don`t see more than we actually see? I understand that they can often oushine whole galaxies when they are spotted. I certainly don`t think this joker`s claims have any merit, but I would like to present him with more evidence than I have so far.

I'm not very experienced, I've only been doing music for about two years and have started from literally no experience in both how to play a single instrument and how to record, mix, edit, etc. I'm also all by myself haha. My music is ambient/electronic minimalistish stuff. Memories for Everything Lost is my latest release and my favorite, although I have an epic three part album which should be coming out soon. I personally feel my music is mediocre, but I also feel I'm getting better a bit.

Fish oil offers many well-documented health benefits to people and their pets, and this 100% pure salmon oil is our most popular fish oil. Salmon oil provides a potent, highly digestible source of essential fatty acids (EFAs) and is loaded with the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, the EFAs most strongly linked to the health benefits of fish oil.
A best seller, Only Natural Pet Pure Salmon Oil is the perfect choice for many reasons. The mildest of the fish oils we offer, it gets rave reviews for its palatability, freshness, and mild aroma. Our customers tell us how well this product helps improve their pets' skin and coat issues and how often this fish oil is a hit with cats and dogs that rejected other fish oils in the past (please read their comments and stories below this product description).
This 100% pure salmon oil undergoes a molecular distillation process that takes only 45 seconds at 250 degrees C under high vacuum. This shortening of the "sit" or "residence" time for processing greatly improves the quality because it guarantees that no trans fats are created. This natural purification process also removes virtually all toxins and heavy metals to produce a level of purity so high that the oil can be labeled "toxin-free." Samples of our oil are tested regularly for purity by licensed, third-party testing companies, in accordance with strict European safety standards, as stringent or more so than US standards.*
We also are pleased to offer our salmon oil in their green, brushed aluminum bottles, the finest quality packaging to help ensure you receive the freshest and safest fish oil available for your pets. These bottles are FDA-approved to hold liquids used for human consumption, with a safe epoxy coating that protects the purity of the oil inside. And naturally, these bottles are green in more ways than one - our 100% recyclable aluminum bottles are the preferred packaging choice for environmentally savvy pet guardians.
Benefits of the naturally occurring EFAs in Salmon Oil include
This salmon oil is tested regularly for purity by licensed 3rd party testing companies, and it has been certified to contain no detectable levels of toxins or heavy metals. Testing of our salmon oil is done in accordance with regulations of the European Good Manufacturing Practice and Pharmaceutical Production Commission and ISO 9002 (European standards code).

Preserve Hocking Hills
Hocking Hills is an Ohio treasure. But Gov. John Kasich and the Legislature have cut its funding year after year. We're fighting back. Learn more.
Through Environment Ohio, thousands of citizen members are teaming up with a professional staff to stand up for the places we love and the environmental values we share.
In 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency moved ahead with efforts to significantly reduce mercury, soot and smog pollution from power plants. We expect these standards to save up to 46,000 lives nationwide. Together with our national coalition, we helped mobilize more than 800,000 people across the country to contact the EPA in support of safer emissions standards—no other EPA rule has ever received so much support. Environment Ohio Advocate, Julian Boggs, released our "Danger in the Air" report as part of our effort to ensure these rules were adopted.

Do you eat at your desk? You're not alone
Paul Sassone
Updated: May 3, 2012 3:44PM
"We keep you alive to serve this ship. Row well and live.''
A great line from a great movie — "Ben-Hur." In this scene, the admiral of the Roman war fleet barks out his mission statement to the chained-to-their-oar galley slaves.
That mission statement popped into my mind when I read about a recent survey from a business consultant firm called Right Management. The survey found that 65 percent of American workers either no longer take a lunch break or eat at their desks.
Of course, it is totally unfair to compare today's American worker to a galley slave.
Galley slaves don't have a choice.
American workers probably aren't told they can't take a lunch break. That might be illegal. They just have a lot of work to do.
Businesses are making do with the employees left after earlier layoffs. So, each remaining employee has to work harder. More work has to be done within the same work day.
Something has to give.
And that, apparently, is lunch.
I can't imagine that people would prefer not to have a lunch break. But, they want to do a good job. If they don't do the job, someone else will.
What's kind of sad is that employers let this happen. If 65 percent of workers don't take a lunch break, then 65 percent of employers don't mind that their employees get no lunch break.
And lunch breaks are good — for the worker and the employer.
Studies show that workers who take a lunch break are more productive because they rest up a bit at lunch. They also are healthier. Taking a lunch break relieves stress. And workers on break may eat healthier food.
Aren't healthier, more productive employees good for business?
And if, as human beings, we can help someone be healthier and have less stress, aren't we obligated to do so?
We don't want to be Roman admirals, do we?
But, perhaps I've got it all wrong.
Maybe people just don't want to take a lunch break.
I'd be interested in knowing.
Do you take a lunch break?
Why or why not?

Crew Assesses Grounded Drilling RigFive-member team of salvage experts spent three hours on KullukANCHORAGE - It was a successful day for a Coast Guard helicopter crew who managed to drop a team of salvage experts on to the deck of a grounded drilling rig near Kodiak. A five-member team from Smit Salvage spent about three hours on board the Kulluck, assessing what, if any, damage the rig might have sustained when it ran aground on the rocks. Results of the inspection have not been released, but a series of flyovers has shown no sign of oil or fuel in the water. That's a relief for Shell officials who have had a series of mishaps since an exploratory drilling season in Arctic waters this summer. "We want to make sure that there are no spills right now," said Shell spokesman Curtis Smith. "We are pretty confident that there are none, but of course weather is in charge here." The Kulluk was carrying close to 140,000 gallons of diesel fuel and another 12,000 of oil and hydraulic lubricants when it broke free of several tow lines and eventually landed on the rocks. Crews Wednesday were able to deliver an emergency towing system to the rig, which they hope can be used to move it off the rocks and out to sea. But while Shell says a series of unpredictable events led to the grounding, not everyone agrees. "In our opinion, this is just confirmation that they'll never have it together," said biologist Kierston Lippmann of the Center for Biological Diversity. "Conditions in the Arctic can be much worse than the conditions they encountered just recently, so there is no question in our minds. This just confirms that it's time to stop all drilling in the Arctic." Shell said an investigation will determine what went wrong and that the company will take responsibility for the outcome. You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Thursday, Jan 3 at 2:25 PM Where does loving bugs and burping rainbows have anything to do with the facts? Fact is, weather conditions in the Arctic, compounded by ice, cold weather, and being thousands of miles from the nearest coastguard station CAN in fact be much worse than those encountered currently near Kodiak. No question, Shell is not Arctic- ready. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Wednesday, Jan 2 at 8:59 PM I see in this article that Kierston Lippmann does not have the foggiest idea what she is talking about. Once again bug lovers gone wild. Burping rainbows and Faxting skittles. Inappropriate? Alert Us! Add a comment |

Well, it's no Eddie Jordan pro-style Princeton offense. Instead, it's Gilbert Arenas aimlessly wandering around the 3-point arc on the basketball hardwood in China. Which, for some strange reason, I take pleasure in watching … while those peddling Amway products are essentially paying Arenas not to play for the Orlando Magic. It's all very sad in a bloggable way. Hey, did you know that Arenas was the first blogging athlete? Well, he was.
The above video, in fact, comes from China. It's Arenas' November 24 debut with the Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA), against Stephon Marbury, famed consumer of Vaseline, and the Beijing Ducks. Well, the first few minutes of Arenas' debut—he pulled up with an injury not six minutes in. But there Gilbert is, wandering around the floor in blue, wearing uniform No. 0 (just like Andray Blatche of the Brooklyn Nets).
Long story short, the Sharks get down 10-2 while Arenas barely touches the ball. Then Arenas sinks a step-back, fadeaway 3-pointer at about the 6:35 mark of the above YouTube (the only shot he would end up attempting). Then Arenas gets injured via his groin, or hip flexor, or "intramuscular strain of the right thigh"—all of them probably apply, all of them are probably lost in translation—and leaves for the night, and the foreseeable future (around the 8:22 mark of the YouTube). And then the Sharks lost to the Ducks, 94-78.

The Tucker Guthrie Memorial Airport will soon be taking bids to install a long-awaited runway lighting system. Bids will be accepted until 2 p.m. on Aug. 15, at which time the bids will be opened and read.
Harlan County Airport Board Chairman Mark Miracle explained they are still waiting on the state's decision concerning additional funding.
"It's been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and we're waiting on the state right now," said Miracle. "The state matches seven and a half percent. The federal does 90 percent — the state does seven and a half percent and the local is two and a half percent."
Miracle explained state funding is not required for the project to be completed.
"It's not that much money as far as the state is concerned, it's only seven and a half percent. Worse case scenario if the state does not approve it the airport board will raise some funds or possibly fiscal court will pitch in." explained Miracle.
According to Miracle, the exact cost for the project is still unknown.
"We really won't know till the bids come in. We're estimating the project's total cost will probably be $300,000," said Miracle.
Paul Steely of PDC Consultants, of Franklin, Tenn., and the engineering firm advising the board on the project, expects work to begin shortly after the bidding period closes.
"If everything meets the FAA's satisfaction and they approve it and issue the grant, what we hope to do is have this project started sometime in September," said Steely. "We hope to have the project completed by the end of this calender year."
According to Steely, the addition of a new lighting system could bring new economic opportunities to Harlan County.
"They will have more access to flights coming in, not only private aircraft, but also military aircraft will be able to come in and buy fuel. That helps the airport board be viable and pay their monthly expenses and that sort of thing," said Steely. "It also has a greater value. …If it gives industries and corporations the ability to do economic development then that will be worth many times more than what income they would have off fuel sells. It's really about providing access to the community."

text: Online auction retailer GraysOnline has recently been advertising its jewellery sales arm on print and radio mediums, stating consumers could "expect to save over 50 per cent on the finest diamond jewellery".GraysOnline is promoting a number of jewellery "brands" including Castellani, Tate & Co, Jacobs and Dolchess.It is unclear where the 50 per cent savings come from, given neither the website, nor the print advertisements list a 'was' price. But it does promote jewellery valuations on the website listings and therefore these supposed savings could appear to be based on the valuations prepared by the Valuation Centre of Australia (VCA) – a National Council of Jewellery Valuers (NCJV) member, employing three registered valuers.According to the GraysOnline advertisements, all jewellery offered on the site was valued by VCA and came with a VCA valuation certificate.An example from the website was a 1.21-carat diamond ring which, as stated on the web page, was valued at $10,595. The " current bid" for the ring at the time of writing was $1,409.The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has previously advised that it had concerns about jewellery retailers using valuation certificates to deceive or mislead consumers into believing they were achieving a genuine saving, based on a valuation price that was not truly indicative of the re-sell price of the item.According the ACCC's Industry Checklist for Jewellery Manufacturers, Wholesalers, Retailers and Valuers, retailers were likely to be in breach of the Trade Practices Act if they, "use a valuation in price comparative advertising – for example: 'valued at $150, now $100' – but the valuation does not indicate the true 'worth' or normal selling price for the particular piece of jewellery in that particular market"."Quite often, a valuation is used to say 'something is worth this amount, we're selling it for this', and there's an implied saving based on that representation," said Sarah Proudfoot, small business and outreach director, ACCC."Retailers have to be really careful if they do that, because it's creating an impression that the consumer's making a saving on what they're purchasing, and in reality, the retailer may not be able to negate the impression that the valuation shows the price of the jewellery in the market where the consumer's buying at the time. And so it may be giving a false impression of the saving they're making."Proudfoot said this applied to both online and bricks-and-mortar retailers.The ACCC advises that retailers using valuation certificates to sell items should inform consumers that valuation prices were intended to indicate "retail replacement value" and not necessarily the re-sell value of the item."In the guide, the ACCC suggests valuers tell consumers that a valuation is provided for the retail replacement, and doesn't necessarily reflect what they would receive if they were to resell the item," Proudfoot said.Referring specifically to online retailers, she added, "Retailers would need to take care if they were using a valuation price to indicate 'this is worth this', and then getting people to bid on that amount if it wasn't clear that was the retail replacement valuation and not the price the consumer would be able to re-sell the product at."Not disclosing this information, according to the ACCC, could mean the retailer was guilty of misleading and deceptive conduct.According to Proudfoot, it all depended on what the consumer was lead to believe – the impression they were left with – and this would come-down to the way the price was promoted."If the buyer bought that product for $500," she said, "they may, because of the way it was promoted at being valued at $7,000, have been given the impression that they've made a saving of $6,500. If the consumer understood that the valuation was a retail replacement for insurance purposes, and that it didn't mean they were going to be able to go out and sell the item for $7,000 and make profit, that would be one thing, but if they've been mislead by the way the representation was made, then we have concerns."By calling something a valuation, is the retailer creating the impression that that's something the consumer could walk away with and sell that product at tomorrow, or that it's worth a set amount, or are they making it clear that this is a valuation that has been provided for retail replacement purposes, which most people would take to mean a higher figure than necessarily the product would sell for?"The GraysOnline print advertising does not explain this fact, but the website does offer an "About Valuations" link to each item listed. Many of the jewellery pieces being offered, however, appear with headlines such as, "Val – $10,595". It is unclear why the specific word "valuation" constantly appears abbreviated on the website.JAA CEO, Ian Hadassin is also concerned that the purported "savings" advertised by GraysOnline may not be truly indicative of the online price of the items, and more importantly, if the products have not previously been sold in Australia at a higher price, then there can be no saving at all. That may raise another issue for the ACCC's consideration.The ACCC's Advertising and Promotion in the Jewellery Industry document states: "If a retailer uses valuations in the sales process to indicate a saving – for example 'Valued at $1,500, Now $1,000' – consumers may reasonably expect that the valuation indicates the 'worth' or normal price for the particular piece of jewellery in that particular market (internet, auctions or traditional shop front)."Businesses risk contravening the Act if they use valuations, other than technically correct, well-prepared valuations that are appropriate for that particular market and its appropriate function/monetary level, including geographical area. If a retailer uses a valuation that is inappropriate in the circumstances then the retailer risks allegations that they have made false representations and engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct." Hadassin goes much further. He believes that valuations should not be used at all for price comparison purposes."It's not ethical and we would not allow any of our members to do that," he said.Indeed, the eighth draft of the proposed JAA Code of Conduct, recently released for comment, states that "Valuations are not considered to be an appropriate or accurate method of determining the market price, at the time of sale of a new piece of jewellery. Valuations are only appropriate in determining the market value of pre-owned jewellery and timepieces, and valuations for this purpose should only be carried-out by valuers registered by the National Council of Jewellery Valuers (NCJV). Code Participants shall not use or refer to any valuation value in conjunction with comparative-price advertising."Hadassin said the decision by GraysOnline to highlight its use of the VCA's valuation certificates in its advertising was of concern to him as soon as he saw it – prompting him to raise the matter with the NCJV."The NCJV said they would write to the VCA to investigate what its member is doing," Hadassin said.NCJV NSW, executive officer, Graham Easy confirmed the council was currently in discussions with VCA over its involvement with GraysOnline: "The committee is currently looking into the issue," he said.Hadassin has since confirmed that the JAA is preparing a formal complaint to be lodged with the ACCC, which could include a complaint against the valuer.While the NCJV's discussions with VCA are on-going, valuers should be most concerned about their conduct, because the ACCC could take action against any valuer if it was "knowingly involved in aiding, abetting, inducing or conspiring in conduct which breaches the Trade Practices Act," according to the Industry Checklist for Jewellery Manufacturers, Wholesalers, Retailers and Valuers.Proudfoot clarified the matter: "If the valuer is knowingly concerned with a breach – if they know the retailer is using the valuations in a misleading and deceptive way and do nothing to prevent the misuse, then the valuer may also knowingly be concerned in the contravention."When asked whether it was of concern that GraysOnline gave all of its valuation work to VCA, Proudfoot said, "No, unless the valuations were being misused or shown that they were vastly different from general industry valuations. For example, if that valuer was generally valuing items on the higher side of a valuation; if they were out of kilter with industry, for example."Jeweller sought an interview with GraysOnline in order to clarify some of the practices and, at first, marketing manager, Mark Kehoe was happy to participate – suggesting an interview with Cameron Poolman, CEO of Grays (Australia) Holdings.But after becoming aware of the topics to be discussed there was a sudden change of mind. On calling Kehoe again, he advised that he was fully aware of Section 52 of the Trade Practices Act but would not make any further comment. Kehoe was emailed the following questions:1. Your website lists "1.21ct 18ct W/G Diamond Engagement Ring – Val $10,595." What is intended by the term "Val $10,595"?2. If it is intended to mean "valuation certificate" why does it not state that?3. Do you think that a consumer using GraysOnline would associate the term, "Val $10,595" as the price that the product had previously be sold? If not, why not?4. The product is purported to be offered for sale by Jacobs Handcrafted Designs, BUT why do the valuation certificates list GraysOnline if GraysOnline is not the seller of the product?5. GraysOnline uses the term "CRP $1,200". Consumers are familiar with the term "RRP", but what does "CRP" mean and why is it not explained?6. The most intriguing thing about your website is that it lists literally thousands of items under a number of categories, BUT why is it that only jewellery items listed use Valuations? In other words, why is that, for example, computers, home appliances or cars are not listed with valuation certificates?Easy advised that he has had to deal with a number of complaints from the trade and consumers about GraysOnline in relation to the valuations of jewellery items. Asked if the number of complaints about GraysOnline was inordinate when compared to other businesses that the NCJV has received complaints about, Easy replied, "Yes".Easy went on to explain that in 2003 a document was sent to all NCJV members advising of the legal position relative to valuations supporting marketing."From 2003 onwards NCJV education has been heavily slanted towards these very subjects. Indeed, we conducted a national touring seminar with a solicitor lecturing, in late 2005, quoting the August 2005 ACCC Guidelines, especially Page13 regarding the use of valuations in marketing. The NCJV recommends to its members that a "Quality Assessment Report" is a safer option, where the valuer describes the technical merit of the items, but does not include a value judgment. Any valuer proven to be issuing misleading valuations would be asked to leave the NCJV," Easy said.At the time of publication GraysOnline had not taken the opportunity to offer any comment or reply to the questions raised by Jeweller and the JAA was preparing its complaint to the ACCC.More info: NCJV warns members on valuation use

Ex-LAPD cop Christopher Dorner apparently killed self as cabin went up in flames
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. Fugitive ex-cop Christopher Dorner apparently killed himself with a gunshot to the head amid a fierce battle with police, law enforcement officials said Friday. He fired his last shot as the cabin he was holed up in was going up in flames.
Police initially weren't sure if Dorner was killed by one of their bullets or by a fire sparked when they launched incendiary tear gas inside. Now they believe he died by his own hand.
"When about a quarter of the cabin was on fire, we heard a distinct single gunshot come from inside the house, which was a much different-sounding shot than what he'd been shooting at us," San Bernardino sheriff's Capt. Kevin Lacy said.
Gun battle with wanted ex-cop - caught on tape
CBS News correspondent Carter Evans was there caught in the crossfire when the gun battle took place on Tuesday. It was so intense that Evans was forced to take cover, but left a cell phone on. At the very beginning of the shootout, one can hear authorities near the phone talking about burning Dorner out of the cabin he was holed up in:
Officer 1: "Burn that (expletive) house down."
Officer 2: "Get going right now."
Officer 1: (expletive) burn that mother(expletive)
After the crack of the distinctive gunshot, investigators only heard ammunition popping in the flames as the cabin burned to the ground. Dorner's body was later found in the basement.
The day after the shootout, McMahon had insisted that authorities did not burn down the cabin on purpose. At Friday's press conference with the sheriff's department, Evans about the officers' remarks during the standoff. "We did not intentionally burn that cab down," said McMahon. "I stand by that remark. They had just been involved in probably one of the most fierce firefights. Sometimes, because we're humans, they say things they may or may not be appropriate."
- First look at site of Dorner's last stand
- Online chatter continues over Dorner rampage
- $1M reward in Christopher Dorner case: Will anyone get to claim cash?
Police also confirmed that law enforcement had a near miss with Dorner as he hid in a mountain condominium. Dorner is believed to have entered the condo through an unlocked door sometime Feb. 7, soon after he arrived in the resort area of Big Bear Lake after killing three people. He locked the door and hunkered down for six days until the condo's owners came to clean it, San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon told reporters Friday.
Deputies knocked on the door that first night but moved on when they found it locked and no sign of a break-in, McMahon said.
"Our deputy knocked on that door and did not get an answer, and in hindsight it's probably a good thing that he did not answer based on his actions before and after that event," the sheriff said of Dorner.
Couple recall encounter with Christopher Dorner
When the owners arrived, he tied them up and fled in their car, leading to a chase, a shootout that killed a sheriff's deputy and, ultimately, Dorner's death in a remote cabin where he barricaded himself for a last stand.
Dorner was equipped with an arsenal of weapons, including assault rifles with flash suppressors that masked the sound of gunfire and the location it was coming from as he fired on the first two deputies to arrive at the cabin, killing Det. Jeremiah MacKay.
"Our officers had not even pulled their guns out at that point and were not prepared to engage anybody and they were ambushed," McMahon said.
The next five responding deputies got into a fierce firefight with bullets whizzing through trees. They deployed smoke bombs to block Dorner's view so they could pull the wounded to safety as other officers provided cover with a hail of bullets, said Capt. Gregg Herbert.
"Every time they tried to move, Dorner was shooting at them," he said. "There was bullets snapping through the trees."
Worried he was lying in wait to ambush them, they eventually used heavy machinery to peel back walls and windows to see if they could see Dorner, who used smoke bombs to obscure their view. They eventually resorted to the tear gas, though McMahon said they didn't intend to start the fire.
Dorner reward money: Will anyone get to claim it?
The search for the former cop began last week after authorities said the former Navy reservist launched a violent revenge campaign against the Los Angeles Police Department for firing him, warning in an angry manifesto on Facebook that he would bring "warfare" to LAPD officers and their families.
Dorner was dismissed for filing a false police report that accused his training officer of kicking a mentally disabled man.
His first victims were Monica Quan and her fiance, Keith Lawrence, both gunned down outside their Orange County condominium Feb. 3. Quan was the daughter of former LAPD Capt. Randal Quan, who Dorner said did not properly defend him before a disciplinary board.
After ambushing and killing Riverside police officer Michael Crain and seriously wounding his partner at a traffic light, Dorner fled to the San Bernardino National Forest, about 80 miles east of Los Angeles. His burned-out truck, with a broken axle was found within walking distance of the Big Bear Lake condo where he hid 100 feet across the street from the command post set up for the manhunt.

- Dorner, regardless of death, is nevertheless dead. There should be an independent investigation of the case, of course, but the main point here is that Dorner was stopped. Clear and simple.

- Mr. Dorner already knew that the authorities were going to kill him. Look at all the innocent people that the authorities hurt trying to get to this man., this alone proofs it. He simply beat them to the punch. He decided to end his own life, under his own terms. Mr. Dorner was a mentally broken man reaching out for help., no one came to help him. Instead they threw some napalm into the cabin and burned it to the ground with Mr. Dorner in it. Judge, jury, and penalty was demonstrated at Big Bear.

- This was a simple public execution. The sheriff department simply lied about setting that building on fire. I believe he could have killed himself in the fire. There was many more obtions that could have been used. Time was on the police department side. He was surrounded there were few people to evacuate. He didn't have alot of ammo. The police were afraid of him for more than one reason. This was the act of cowards.
- reply
- linkicon reporticon emailicon
- I wouldn't believe a word of the "official" version of Dorner's death. There needs to be an INDEPENDENT investigation into the death of Chris Dorner.
Hopefully Dorner's family will file a wrongful death suit against the city of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Police Department, San Bernardino County, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's department, the local fire department and all the individual officers at the scene. The attorneys should then hire and conduct their own inquest to independently determine what happened and what was the cause of death.
It is only under these circumstances that anyone will decide the cause of death and who killed Christopher Dorner. At this point thousands of people believe the police shot Dorner in the head as they executed him. - reply

- In the end, Dorner did the taxpayers a favor by committing suicide. In doing so, however, he did cheat the lawyers and the media out of a lot of money, but that's a good thing. As regards to whether or not, the police set fire to the cabin: so what? They tried to talk him out--nah, they tried to smoke him out--nah, so, they tried to burn him out. He chose to eat his gun, finally, something to thank him for.

DOBSON — Every Christmas shopper has been there: wandering through stores desperately seeking the right present for that hard-to-buy-for person as the minutes tick away toward the big day.
Some will end up settling for a gift certificate or the old standby of money in a card, while others will pick out yet another ugly tie, pair of gloves or T-shirt. But for those who seek something more meaningful, the answer could be Operation Katie.
As part of an ongoing campaign to build a handicapped-accessible home for the family of Katie Bledsoe, a student at Surry Central High School, a Dobson-area group is offering an option. It involves making a donation to Operation Katie which also will double as a Christmas gift in the name of someone chosen by the contributor.
"Every year I'm shopping for grandparents and people like that who have everything they need," said Anthony Kiger, who is part of a core group of about 10 people spearheading Operation Katie. It originated from a Bible study group about two years ago and contains representatives of various churches.
Designating a Christmas present to that special someone in the form of aiding Operation Katie is much better than choosing "the same old boring flannel shirt you have purchased for years," Kiger believes. Such a present might wind up forgotten in a drawer, while helping to provide the handicapped-accessible home "is something that's going to go on forever," he added.
This gesture also illustrates the true meaning of Christmas, in the view of Kiger and others with Operation Katie.
Those engaged in the house project meet monthly to discuss ideas for various fundraisers, which have included port-a-pit barbecue sales and a "Katie's Day" benefit at Fisher River Park in 2011, among others.
The idea for the Christmas gift effort sprang from a tendency by family members of deceased persons to request that donations be made for a charity or other worthy cause instead of flowers.
In the case of Katie Bledsoe, the cause would be helping someone who has struggled from the effects of a car accident nearly 20 years ago when she was 3, which left her with a traumatic brain injury. Her condition requires the student to spend much time in a wheelchair.
Though she and other family members now live in a nice double-wide in the Fairview community, it is not suited for the needs of someone in Katie's situation.
"Right now, they can't even get the wheelchair in the front door," Kiger said of just one obstacle posed.
The Christmas campaign got off to a good start with the aid of social media postings on Facebook.
"We've received about $500 worth of donations," Kiger said Friday.
Operation Katie organizers hope more people will see fit to support the effort in the days leading up to Christmas as they become hard-pressed for ideas for persons on their gift lists.
"Right now, we've generated right at $45,000," Kiger said of the overall campaign that has a goal of $125,000 for constructing the Bledsoes' house at the site of their present home.
The effort was boosted by the fanfare surrounding Katie's selection as Surry Central's homecoming queen by her classmates earlier this fall, Kiger said. "It went kind of crazy."
Cards Will Denote Gifts
Multiple methods exist to contribute toward Operation Katie as a Christmas gift. One involves visiting www.operationkatie.com.
A PayPal account is set up through the web site that enables donations using credit cards. Checks also can be mailed to P.O. Box 585, Mount Airy, NC, 27030.
"Everything is 100-percent tax-deductible," said Kiger, who explained that those who give should send an email making their contribution known to firstname.lastname@example.com.
In response, personalized Operation Katie cards will be provided for the persons in whose names the donations have been made stating where the money is going, Kiger said. The cards then can be presented as Christmas presents.
"Imagine the feeling your loved one will receive knowing their Christmas gift is one that will help a great family for a lifetime," the web site states.

Far Cry 3 Game Guide
GameSpot's Far Cry 3 game guide helps you learn the most efficient ways to tame the jungle. Or... ways to set the world on fire.
This mission takes place to the southwest of Amanaki, and there's another radio tower near it. You can find a water vehicle along the coast and use that to get down there, if you like. There are gunships patrolling near the harbor, though, so be wary. It's easier to warp to Earnhardt's and take the handglider to the rear of his house; it'll be a straight shot to the south from there. Take down the radio tower before heading to the prison.
Use explosive barrels to easily kill enemies here. Insert your own Wilhelm screams as accompaniment.
Note that the first marker here isn't a vantage point; it goes straight to the alarm that you're supposed to disable. You may wish to zipline from the tower to the rusted artillery piece nearby and scout the area from there; there's also a relic in the bunker below that's an easy 250 XP. Move to one of the sniper roosts at the camp, kill the guard there stealthily, and disable the alarms.
With that done, there's no need for subtlety; you can start chucking grenades or firing machineguns at the remaining guards, and there'll be nothing they can do except fire back. Kill everyone (and keep in mind to look out for explosive barrels when they take cover), and grab the key from the commander's body.
The prison is located in a nearby cave, but it's heavily defended. If you don't have an SMG or a shotgun handy, you'll probably want to switch out your sniper rifle or pistol for one of the guards' shotguns, as ammo will be plentiful for it and it'll be useful in the close quarters that follow.
Make your way into the prison, liberally chucking grenades at groups of enemies, until you reach that old trope of FPS games, the instant knock-out by an unseen enemy. When that occurs, you'll have to fight your way back up through the burning building. You can charge through fires in your path, but it's best to take a second and shoot out the water valves above them to put them out. You have three minutes get back to Liza, but if you're speedy (there's really only one way to go), you should be able to clear it in half that.
Look for these valves and shoot them to diminish some of the fire.
When you get to Liza and the driving section, feel free to liberally sprinkle your grenades at your attackers; you get full XP for your multi-kills, so there's no sense holding back. After switching to the front seat and getting a few more kills (be sure to hit the explosive barrel when the soldiers get near it), you'll be done with the mission.

A lot of you have checked in at my Facebook author page and know that my youngest son recently had surgery on both legs. For those of you who don't know, he was born with spina bifida and requires a great deal of care on a daily basis. This surgery will hopefully get him to the point where he is able to walk in his walker without crouching, which is a problem with some kids with spina bifida.
He has an amazing spirit, a fantastic sense of humor and is a huge fan of the Texas Rangers. He also keeps me very busy when he's not at school. When he is at school, I am usually trying to catch up on laundry and during this time of year, Christmas preparations.
I have not forgotten about the characters in the books. Victoria, especially, is my focus lately when I have the time to write. The novella will not be ready by Christmas Eve. I would like it to be done by Valentine's Day, which would be appropriate for this story. Michael will be a part of this book, as will Sarah. I don't know that I could really completely put Sarah to the side anyway. Her snarky attitude and fiery spirit still inspire me.
Now for the FUN news! I will be lowering the prices of The Vampire's Curse and The Vampire's Redemption. Curse will be priced at $1.49 and Redemption will be priced at $1.99 for a limited time.
I am also giving away a $50.00 Amazon gift certificate! Details coming soon!

January 22, 2012 by Esteban Escobar
Filed under Celebrities News, Entertainment, Events, Featured, Music
People from all over around the world came to the 2012 NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants). It was a win win situation for music companies and entertainment industry folk alike. NAMM showcases the newest gadgets and instruments for the entertainment industry, the curious and entertainers looking for the latest in technology in equipment to assist their music career needs.
The NAMM Show kicked-off the event with a media preview day on Wednesday, January 18, 2012 where Recording artist, singer and performer John Mayer made a special appearance, talked about Michelle Phillips signature guitars and even playing some music for the members of the media/press.
Also on media preview day David Honeywell from PianoDisc talked to us about a Piano called iQ Intelligent Player System which plays by itsself and can be operated from your choice of external devices, including popular devices like the iPad, iPod and MP3 players.
During the 4 day event many celebrity musicians attended various booths, stage events, signed autographs and even performed for their fans. Some of the recording artists and politicians the attended the largest and longest-running musical instruments and products trade show in the United States were John Mayer, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Tommy Lee, Jackson Browne, Steve Vai, Prakash Sontakke, Salar Nader, Bootsy Collins, George Benson, Bernie Williams, Jesse Spencer, Bob Guiney, Sheila E., Robert Benson, BT, Joe Santrani, System of A Down, Steve Morse, Scott Ian, Kerry King, Richard Divine, Lee Roy Parnell, Debby Holiday, Arnold G, Pepper Mashay, former Governor Mike Huckabee, and of course our Diversity News TV celebrity host FAWN and many more.
"We had a press event Wednesday night and we had a dealer party as well and those were very well received, we had a good turnout for that, so we're having a very good show," said Gloria Harris, Casio. "A lot of booth traffic. We had scheduled a lot of appointments and people came out and they saw the product and they loved it. We're excited for the new year."
On Saturday, January 21st, Fawn spoke with Lee Roy Parnell about his latestGibson guitar and and special impromptu performance for Jackson Browne. Also exhibitor Bee Bantug from Retail Up talked to us about her company services.
"The show was noticeably better in attendance this year," said Rick Young, Yamaha Corporation of America. "We were consistently packed Thursday through Saturday and Sunday was better than in many of the last years. We had a good array of new products to show our dealers and everyone was upbeat and hopeful. Now that we have the manufacturers and retailers excited, we have one more important group to get excited and that is consumers. Obtaining the mindshare and walletshare of consumers will be the key to success in 2012."
The 2012 NAMM Show was held from Thursday, January 19 through Sunday, January 22, 2012 from 8:00 am to Midnight at the Anaheim Convention Center located 800 West Katella Avenue in Anaheim, CA 92802.

Editor's Note: Diversity News Magazine and TV covered the 2012 NAMM Show on 1-18-2012, 1-19-2012 and 1-21-2012 only.
We want to thanks the The Lippin Group for giving us the opportunity to cover the event.
In another note the people the need to be fire from Anaheim Convention Center are the Staff Prop, those people are very rude. When we drove on day 3 they made us go around from Katella to Disneyland Road to park and we walked by car park 4 and they would not allow to enter there so we have to go around. Diversity News TV crew have to pay to park because people from Staff Prop they did not care they told my crew that every one need to pay even they show them confirmation to cover event from public relations firm.
When we were leaving the venue they made us go to the underground floor and we have to walk during the night to the parking space. Please Anaheim Convention Center fire the Staff Prop people or train them to learn how to treat the media/press right.

Harvest = Crops = Crop Circles we did not make this hard to figure out, did we?
He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. (Matthew 13:37-43)
Speaking on behalf of God is truly a great call, many claim to be called of the Lord to serve Him. However, very few can prove it. God's best friend turned on him, finding one
he could trust was going to take some time. There is one God and one mediator between man and God. Jesus and I, we're BFF!
Please Note: The KJV is used as it is the most unadulterated of the translations the images were designed specifically around certain words and phrases to enhance who made them. For example, in some texts John 8:54 is translated into glorify. It is hard to fit this into the insult built-in Egypt. Honor is a much better explanation to what Jesus wants. In Genesis 4:4 the word regard has replaced respect. God is not looking for regard He is looking for respect! So do we want to regard and glorify or respect and honor? There is a difference if He is trying to stress a point.
You had to solve the puzzle of knowing where the effigy of the Son belonged before you could solve all the puzzles and mysteries.

Renault pledges extra production for labor deal
PARIS (Reuters) - Renault told unions it could produce an extra 80,000 vehicles a year at its French factories for partners Nissan or Daimler if workers agreed to a new labor deal.
That would represent 15 percent of 2012 French production for the automaker, which is pushing workers to accept a new nationwide agreement on pay and conditions to cut costs.
The company also said on Tuesday that it had proposed a pay freeze this year, followed by a 0.5 percent increase next year and a 0.75 percent rise in 2015. Salaries increased by 3 percent in 2012.
The proposals were made public after the latest in a series of meetings with staff representatives as Renault pushes to align productivity in France with cheaper European sites in Spain and the UK.
Renault's domestic plants are among the worst affected by industry overcapacity, which has swollen as many European countries have gone into recession.
Renault sold 2.55 million vehicles worldwide last year; it did not say how many of those were produced in France.
The carmaker told unions at a meeting last week that it was aiming to cut 7,500 jobs in France by 2016 to help boost competitiveness as the slump in its domestic and European markets shows no sign of easing.
The French government, Renault's biggest shareholder with a 15 percent stake, has said it wants the carmaker to support domestic employment by building cars for Nissan, its 43.4-owned Japanese affiliate.

'Singin' brings glorious feeling to Drury Lane
Tony Yazbeck and Jenny Guse star in "Singin' in the Rain" at Drury Lane Theatre. | Photo by Brett Beiner
'Singin' in
the Rain'
Through Jan. 13
Drury Lane Theatre, 100 Drury Lane, Oakbrook Terrace
(630) 530-0111; drurylaneoakbrook.com
Updated: December 6, 2012 3:22PM
If you're going to do a stage adaptation of a movie musical, you might as well choose a great one, right?
That's a principal that's proven true for the theatrical adaptations of the 1952 classic "Singin' in the Rain" from its 1983 premiere in London, through various revivals, all the way up to its highly entertaining debut at the Drury Lane Theatre in Oakbrook. The only drawback being that remaining true to the well-known and beloved original always underscores the fact that your production is essentially a facsimile, however excellent it may be. Which will always suffer by comparison, even if the comparison is made in the most flattering terms.
Fortunately, though, "Singin' in the Rain" is such a joyous film and the production at the Drury Lane is so well-staged and so skillfully performed that it doesn't really matter. It's a show that was designed to lift you up, make you laugh and go home feeling great.
If you've somehow managed to miss seeing the movie, the plot involves the transition from silent films to talkies. Just like the 2011 Oscar winner "The Artist," but with more laughs and less suicidal despair.
Silent film stars Don Lockwood (Broadway performer Tony Yazbeck) and Lina Lamont (Melissa Van Der Schyff, another Broadway performer who comes close to stealing the show) are a romantic team who have recently completed their most recent hit "The Royal Rascal." Don's a down-to-Earth guy who graduated to the movies from vaudeville with his lifelong friend and dancing partner Cosmo Brown (Matthew Crowle, who performed on Broadway in "Spamalot" and gives Van Der Schyff competition when it comes to show-stealing). Lina's a brainless diva with a mean streak, basically a cross between Miss Adelaide in "Guys and Dolls" and Medusa — only it's her screeching Bronx bimbo voice that could turn you to stone.
Her screech becomes a serious problem when Monumental Pictures decides to switch to talkies in the wake of "The Jazz Singer" and Lockwood and Lamont's "The Duelling Cavalier" (an original film for this production and the funniest moment in the show) fails spectacularly in a sneak preview. Fortunately, Cosmo has a brilliant idea: Why not get the up-and-coming actress Kathy Seldon (Jenny Guse), who is also the love of Don's life, to dub Lina's role? An idea that doesn't make Lina the least bit happy.
There's a lot to like about Drury Lane's "Singin' in the Rain" (directed by Bill Jenkins) and little to complain about. There's tons of old-style hoofing, expertly performed, plenty of first-class tunes ("Good Morning," "Make 'em Laugh," "Moses Supposes") and no shortage of comedy. The romance between Don and Kathy is a bit drippy at times, but that problem is addressed by having them shut up and lock lips as often as possible.
Of course, the main attraction is the "Singin' in the Rain" sequence itself — a true cinematic icon transformed into a show-stopping first-act closer. Copious quantities of water pours down on the stage as Yazbeck lovingly recreates the number, even jumping into puddles with such gusto that audiences in the first few rows get splashed (raincoats provided by management). It works so well that the show stages the song a second time with the entire cast after the curtain call.
There's something liberating about that number, even if it's just recalling childhood memories of the illicit thrill of puddle jumping. Of course, that feeling of crazy abandon is amplified considerably when the kicking and splashing is going on indoors and on stage.
The performers obviously enjoy it. You can see it in the way they smile. And before you know it, you're likely to be feeling the same way too.
