Cassini Sees Tropical Lakes on Saturn Moon Pasadena CA (JPL) Jun 18, 2012 NASA's Cassini spacecraft has spied long-standing methane lakes, or puddles, in the "tropics" of Saturn's moon Titan. One of the tropical lakes appears to be about half the size of Utah's Great Salt Lake, with a depth of at least 3 feet (1 meter). The result, which is a new analysis of Cassini data, is unexpected because models had assumed the long-standing bodies of liquid would only exist at the poles. The findings appear in this week's issue of the journal Nature. Where could the liquid for the ... read more |

This Sunday, January 30th, get ready for the hottest hip-hop competition in Southern California! Lambda Theta Delta is holding its 16th annual VIBE dance competition in Irvine to showcase only the best hip-hop teams in the West Coast. VIBE has staged some of the most recognized stars, such as the Jabbawockeez, SickStep and Far East Movement. Once again, they're bringing many fan favorites to the stage of Bren Events Center for an amazing show. This is the night to witness competing teams show off their best moves and exhibition teams demonstrate once again why they are "must-see" acts. Music by some of YouTube's well-known artists will also be featured.
This year, twelve teams battle it out to win the title of VIBE XVI Champs, including four past champion teams, three new teams and five returning teams who hope that this may be their year. Choreo Cookies, who have swept most of the previous titles, Kaba Modern, who appeared on America's Best Dance Crew (ABDC) and who won first place in VIBE VIII to X, Team Millennia, VIBE XII and XIII champs and CADC, VIBE XIV winners are back again for some tough competition. The teams returning to fight for the title are Pac Modern, GRV, 220, Common Ground and NSU Modern. But experienced doesn't always mean better; they better watch out for IV League, The Company and Super Galactic Beat Manipulators who are appearing on this stage as contenders for the first time.
Aside from some intense battle, VIBE is bringing in some well-respected groups, like KM Legacy, Kinjaz and Unity LA. In addition, some of the exhibition teams you may have seen on TV in shows like ABDC, but you have yet to see their acts live. These include Jungle Boogie, Boxcuttuhs and Poreotics (featuring Miniotics, their junior team). YouTube music stars are also coming together for a never-before-seen collaboration. Look out for Dumbfoundead, the Korean American rapper from Los Angeles who may be best known for his rap battles and viral hits, Jason Yang, a growing sensation on YouTube for his mastery in the acoustic and electric violin, and Victor Kim, known not only for his membership on Quest Crew but also for his musical talents.
Don't miss out! Pre-sale tickets are $25 and they can be purchased through (1) the Bren Event Center Box Office: 949-824-5000, (2) any Lambda Theta Delta representative, or (3) ticketmaster.com. Follow VIBE on twitter and facebook @VIBEdancecomp as well for live updates and a chance to win free tickets! A portion of their sales will be donated to a local charity.

As we begin the typically slow month of August, action remake "Total Recall" will attempt to knock off "The Dark Knight Rises" as the top box office draw in the country, but it won't be easy with disastrous critical reviews and limited buzz heading into its release. Also hitting theaters will be family-friendly "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days," the third entry in the quietly successful series from Fox.
Getting launched at roughly 3,400 theaters this weekend, "Total Recall" will be targeting an action audience familiar with the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie of the same name. Though the material was actually based on a short story by famous sci-fi scribe Philip K. Dick, audiences will be much more familiar with the Schwarzenegger version, which was one of the biggest hits of 1990 and enjoys somewhat of a cult status.
But even with some recognition by audiences familiar with the original, the 2012 version of "Total Recall" is on very shaky ground heading into the weekend. Carrying an eye-popping production budget of $200 million, worldwide expectations are extremely high for "Total Recall" and it doesn't even appear to be in great shape to open atop the box office. With "The Dark Knight Rises" still selling plenty of tickets, "Total Recall" will likely have to bring in more than $30 million to finish as number one.
The one advantage that the 2012 "Total Recall" does have is a PG-13 rating, which the R-rated Arnold Schwarzenegger version lacked. Unfortunately, star Colin Farrell is nowhere near the international star that Schwarzenegger was in 1990, making it a tough sell during a time of year when ticket sales typically slow dramatically. Look for "Total Recall" to fall just shy of $30 million this weekend, an opening that probably won't be enough to overtake "The Dark Knight Rises."
Aiming at a much different audience will be "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days." Based on a very popular book series, "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" has been a surprise earner for Fox over the past few years, with steady revenue totals for releases in both 2010 and 2011; the first two in the series ("Diary of a Wimpy Kid," "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules") cost an average of only $18 million to produce and both crossed $70 million worldwide.
The only change for this release is that the previous installments hit theaters in March, though that shouldn't keep its core audience from coming out once again. "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days" also has the advantage of minimal competition, as both "Ice Age: Continental Drift" and "Brave" are starting to wind down after successful box office runs. After the first two in the series opened in the $22-$24 million range, look for "Dog Days" to put up a similar opening total and be a factor with family audiences through the rest of August.
While "Total Recall" and "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days" shake up the box office a little bit, "The Dark Knight Rises" still looks to be in a commanding position. "The Dark Knight Rises" has already crossed $300 million in domestic receipts and still has a sizable audience to appeal to, as daily numbers remain fairly strong. After earning $62 million in its second weekend, "The Dark Knight Rises" should be able to earn around $30 million this time around, which will likely put it very close to "Total Recall" at the top of the charts.
Next week, series spin-off/reboot "The Bourne Legacy" will hit theaters looking to pick up where the Matt Damon franchise left off, with Jeremy Renner taking over for Damon. Also getting launched will be Will Ferrell's latest comedy "The Campaign," which will team him with Zach Galifianakis for a timely spoof of American politics. Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones will also star in "Hope Springs," a romantic comedy that will get released on Wednesday, August 8th.
RTT Box Office Predictions for 8/3/12 - 8/5/12 (In Millions):
1. The Dark Knight Rises (Warner Brother): $30
2. Total Recall (Sony/Columbia): $28
3. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (Fox): $22
4. Ice Age: Continental Drift (Fox): $7.5
5. The Watch (Fox): $6.5

7. Ted (Universal): $7.40 [$5]
8. The Amazing Spider-Man (Sony/Columbia): $3.9
9. Brave (Disney): $2.7
10. Magic Mike (Warner Brothers): $1.4

PUBLIC OPINION > Tell Your Friend If They're Being Cheated On
SodaHead Living
2012/04/30 16:00:00
Not everyone has been in a situation where they discovered their friend was being cheated on, but it's a popular plot device in movies and pretty easy to imagine. Easy to imagine -- not easy to experience. What's the best course of action to take? Do you tell them, and risk disbelief or, worse yet, suspicion of jealousy? Or do you just let it work itself out? We presented the public with the situation, and here's how most people would handle it...
Fortunately, most voters said they would speak up. It might not be an easy thing to do, but if you're really their friend, it's best to be upfront and honest. Let them know what they're in for before it gets dragged out any further. On the other hand, some voters did express concern over the possibility of not being believed. It's your word against their significant other's, and while it's all well and good to say "a true friend would believe you," so would a "true partner." It's a terrible situation for all parties involved, but ultimately, honesty is the best policy. Let them know.
Women Are More Likely to Tell
The most noticeable demographic variation was between the male and female vote. Women were a good 25% more likely than men to tell their friend if that friend was being cheated on. There's a reason romantic films tend to be more geared toward women -- they're not afraid of drama. Not that it's any easier for them to bring up, per se, but they're probably better prepared for the various outcomes.
Keep Out When It's Complicated
Most relationship demographics were pretty willing to step up and say something, but respondents who were in a "complicated" relationship were quite a bit less likely. The reason for that should be obvious -- they've got problems of their own. No use going around rocking other people's boats when you're on rough seas yourself. Divorcees were also less likely to say something.
Drinkers Don't Drop Bombs
One last group that seemed less willing to speak up was the drinkers. Drinkers were 16% behind nondrinkers -- not quite as far back as men or people in complicated relationships, but enough to be somewhat reliable. So, basically, if your best friend is a boozing man in a complicated relationship, don't expect much warning. If it's a teatotalling woman in a stable relationship, count on her to let you know you're being played.
If you'd like to vote on this question, dig deeper into the demographics, or engage in existing discussion about the topic, visit our poll about friends and cheating. We'd love to hear from you!

So if you ever date a guy like that well..." Then immediatley turn around and punch the guy in face and kick him in the crotch. "I'd do that."

- Rusty's Mom 2012/05/01 17:22:44Part of being a good friend is being there for someone and not allowing your friend to be used or abused.
But, take care to think about the rest of the day - when you "tell it like it is" - and the rest of the week. Plan some stuff out - so that you or- another friend or loved one who is kind and helpful can be around for the "fallout." - Athira 2012/05/01 15:47:08

+1Exactly. I tried to tell an ex just how bad a guy was for her. She chalked it up to jealousy, but I got a bad vibe from him right away. He's an addict, and a drunk, and she's come crying to me about him many a time--but she won't let him go, she won't get him out of her life. It's like she's addicted herself.
It's apparent she loves him than she ever loved me, because she dumped me--and won't dump him. - Carebear 2012/05/01 14:35:30
- LILY 2012/05/01 14:21:45I would tell my friend she was being cheated on but if my friend is a dummy I know for a fact she wont belive me. To get her to belive me I would take her out and show her myself. I think a true friend tell you the truth even if it hurts because in the long run it helps very much. I rather be told that my boyfriend is a deush than to stay with him lookin like a fool.
Me too. I rather be told by my friend than a person that dont know me. You know how people are especially people who dont like you they want to see you look stupid. So I rather tell them if I knew.

My best friend, her husband, my fiance, and myself all went to a local bar and when we left my friends fiance said he had to go back in to use the bathroom. We waited out in the car for 15 minutes and my fiance finally decided to go in and check on him (make sure he wasn't vomiting etc.). He found him on the dance floor grinding up on other women. Later my fiance told me all this and I immediantly told my friend. She refused to believe me and we didn't talk for a long time. After about 2 months she called me and said they had broken up because she caught him cheating. Shocker.

No. I don't believe that's what friends are for. A friend's place is to be by your side to help pick up the pieces when you fall apart. Friends aren't guardian angels.

It's the douchebag theory:
This is all because of that douchebag that she keeps on going back right? Well, with science I have decided to prove this theory. You see, when a girl is young and playing with male kids, sometimes that male kid will hit, or call he names etc. The girl would then run home crying to her mom who would say, "If he hits/calls you names that just means he likes you." This idea gets drilled into the young child's head and eventually becomes a normal way of thinking. So this in time becomes the douchebag theory; all girls will go for the guy that treats them like crap because it's what they were taught to do.
Hopefully this blew your mind as much as mine. - Margaret Jacobson 2012/04/30 19:58:46It would depend on the situation...........she probably would want to know, but could end up HATING me ?? With AIDS out there, VD, etc........TELL...TASKE A CHANCE.......MAKE AN ANONYMOUS TELEPHONE CALL FROM A RARE "TELEPHONE BOOTH" Or someone else's cell
+6I had a friend whos wife had cheating on him with several people. He was a nice guy and didn't deserve it. One day, someone got fed up and sent an anonymous letter to him, mailed from another close by town, with the names of the people she'd been sleeping with. He showed me.
The note said "I'm sorry, but you deserve to know the truth..in the past 3 years your wife has slept with.. (and listed the names). Signed, Someone who cares." It was crazy. After verifying the first one, he divorced her. Before that, he looked like the biggest idiot in town. Everyone knew but him, but didn't say anything because they knew how much he cared for her and knew it would break his heart. He now says that that letter saved him from many more wasted years.
However you go about it, people should know the truth. - Panloker 2012/04/30 19:54:25+1I think I would confront the cheater and make him confess to her, it will be a "you tell her before I do" kind of deal. Im sure he would rather do it in his own way rather than worry how I would break the news. I think it would be harder to hear from someone else rather than their significant other.

She told me my bf was cheating out with someone else while i was sitting right next to him. Also she turned around and played the same game on him. But i would leave hints around my bestfriend because i dont need her thinking im jealous but we are into two tottaly different people. But it just depends on the person.

Wendy Ingram, assistant principal at Rossville Middle School since 2006, will be principal at the new school, under construction in Rock Spring. Ingram was selected in January.
"Walker County is where I live and where my children go to school and so I have a vested interest here," Ingram said. "We are going to be able to see kids grow from kindergarteners through eighth grade. It's going to be amazing what we can do."
Sherry Evatt-Smyth will be assistant principal. She was academic coach at Ridgeland High School this year and at Rossville Middle School from 2006-12.
"When the concept of Saddle Ridge came out," Evatt-Smyth said, "I immediately knew I wanted to be there."
Construction of the $15 million building, paid for in part with ESPLOST (education special-purpose local-option sales tax) funds, is on track. It will be completed in time for the faculty to begin moving in this summer, according to officials.
One advantage of having a combined elementary-middle school is the familiarity students will have with the faculty in their transition from elementary to middle grades. The second floor is for the middle school students.
"They won't have that fear of going off to the big middle school," Ingram said.
The building is designed for project-base learning. Classes can combine during certain lessons, using oversized 30-foot-wide hallways as a larger learning lab.
The school will be equipped with the latest technology such as smart boards and mobile iPad labs.
"We will be looking at integrating STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) principles into our classrooms," Ingram said. "We are really building a culture and a climate in the community."
The number of faculty has yet to be determined, but many of those educators will come from LaFayette Middle and Cherokee Ridge Elementary schools. The school system's redistricting will also provide some teachers.
One consideration in redistricting and for choosing the Saddle Ridge staff is the inevitable closure of LaFayette Middle School Sixth-Grade Academy. That closure is necessary due to state regulations that sixth- through eight-graders be taught in a traditional middle school setting.
The Walker County school system decided several years ago to alleviate overcrowding at LaFayette Middle School by setting up the Sixth-Grade Academy in the former LaFayette High School on Cherokee Street.
The concept was a success and was granted a two-year waiver for closing, while the Saddle Ridge school has been in the works.
Ingram said some parents have been about the school's athletic program. She plans for the Saddle Ridge Mustangs to "hit the ground running" and be a part of the North Georgia Athletic Conference next year. Dustin Madaris will be the athletic director.
All sports that use a gymnasium will be held at the school, along with a football program that will play on a combined football-soccer field, which will also be ready in the fall.
Baseball and softball teams will play at the Rock Spring Athletic Association facilities in exchange for use of the combined field for little league football and soccer programs.
In addition to the traditional gym, the building will feature another large space, which Raines nicknamed the "Cafagymnatorium," which features a dividing wall separating a stage adjacent to the cafeteria, which can also be used as a gym.
Selection process, educational background
The three-step process of choosing the school's leadership team began in November 2012.
Both women were selected from dozens of applicants, after interviews and a leadership presentation to a panel of central office personnel.
Ingram has spent 17 of her 19-year education career in the Walker County school system.
She taught eighth grade at Rossville Middle School for two years (1994-96), prior to serving as an assistant principal for the past six years. She was a sixth-grade teacher at LaFayette Middle School (1996-99 and 2000-04), in addition to one year as a fifth-grade teacher at Naomi Elementary.
She received her bachelor's degree in education from Georgia Southern University in 1994, her master's degree in middle grades education from Berry College in 1997, and a specialist degree in educational administration and supervision from Lincoln Memorial University in 2001.
Sherry Evatt-Smyth began her education career teaching youngsters in Hamilton County (Tenn.) elementary schools from 1988-97.
She then taught English at Ooltewah Middle School for six years and Southeast Whitfield High School for one year.
In 2006, she transitioned to become an academic coach at Rossville Middle School, working alongside Ingram for several years.
Evatt-Smyth has a bachelor of science degree in elementary education from Western Kentucky University and received both a master's degree and specialist degree in education administration from Tennessee Tech University.
She was unaware of Ingram's selection as principal upon applying to become the school's assistant principal.
"We have had very different classroom experiences through the years to pull from," Ingram said.
"Our strengths (as teachers and leaders) are quite different and I think we balance each other very well," Smyth said.
Evatt-Smyth taught for nine years in elementary education and faced the challenge of a combined school while at 21st Century Academy (K-12), prior to starting with Walker County schools.
"I have seen the way that it can work. (We) had some tough kids at that schools and I was able to take those kids and get them involve with the younger kids and it made a great difference," Evatt-Smyth said.
Ingram plans for similar collaboration among the younger and older students next year.
"We have already been kicking around ideas of reading buddies and science buddies," Ingram said. "There are so many opportunities for the older kids that can work together with younger students."
As a teacher at Naomi Elementary she had her fifth-graders read to first-graders to benefit both age groups.

Concrete Plant Proposed for Point Washington
I thought this item seemed important enough to justify its own thread.
The proposed concrete plant is slated to be on the water in Pt Washington, according to Commissioner Commander. She is very concerned that the vocal Pt Washington people were lacking in attendance at tonight's Board of County Commissioner's Meeting, and thought that people might not be aware of the plans for the concrete plant, so the commissioners tabled the discussion until the next meeting in South Walton, on June 10, so that the residents of Pt Washington and concerned citizens could have a chance to be properly heard. I hear that concrete plants are very harmful to the environment, but I couldn't tell you one reason as to why, off the top of my head. I'll be doing a little research on the subject. If you have any concerns of a concrete plant going into Pt Washington, I'd recommend emailing your County Commissioners with those concerns, or showing up in person to voice your opinion at the June 10 BCC meeting in SoWal at the Courthouse Annex. The County Commissioners were kind enough to reschedule this item for the next SoWal meeting rather than Defuniak, so it is obvious that they want to be sure to hear your concerns or objections before allowing such plant to be approved.
All comments regarding this issue are welcome. Let's hear some pros and cons.
Where in Pt. Washington?
cons: trucks tearing up the already lacking roads
heavy traffic through neighborhoods at 7am
heavy equipment at speed through neighborhoods
consumption of who knows how much public water(i assume they'll draw from the intercoastal)
potential discharge back into the intercoastal
possible lowered resale values due to heavy industry in surrounding neighborhoods
pros: jobs
hopefully cheaper concrete locally
possibly cheaper(competitive) gravel and fill rates against jos. stein

John R, I understand this project is proposed on the property where they tried to build the asphalt plant, on the east side of Peach Creek and the IntraCoastal, and that the trucks would not be coming through residential areas, unless they happened to be pouring on a site in a neighborhood. Sounds like the owner of that property is subdividing the property and the proposed site will be on the newly split parcel, and not on the exact site where the asphalt plant was proposed.
Technically, they are required to mail notices to only the people owning within 300ft from the proposed plant, and the notice required is a sign posted by the County, on the property. As very few people ever drive down the road, the sign was never seen by the people who would be concerned. If this property is on the Intra-Coastal Waterway, as Comm. Commander states, everyone living on the water in that area and on Peach Creek, should be made aware.
The Following User Says Thank You to Smiling JOe For This Useful Post:
There is a big difference between cement and concrete. Cement is much more problematic. Drive down Old Ferry Road just east of Peach Creek and you may be surprised to see 2 concrete plants and an asphalt plant. There has also been some activity on the north side of the intracoastal waterway. Might be something related to the airport.

There is already a concrete plant on the east side of Peach Creek. Is there a need for another one???? My first concern is for the environment but also the NOISE the plant creates. And no the current plant is not located in a neighborhood, but the trucks and home owners share Ferry Rd. Putting June 10 on the calendar.
Concrete Plants are very corrosive
In a previous life, when I was an Outside Plant Engineer (the folks who engineer the poles, cables, manholes, etc.. for the phone company) I went to a special class just for dealing with concrete plants.
I remember in the class being told that it was the most challenging environment that our equipment had to operate in. The dust floating around a concrete plant is incredibly corrosive and penetrated and destroyed our equipment no matter how well sealed. We ended up replacing the equipment in those plants every 5-7 years (compared to every 30 years for normal places,)
I don't really know how they impact the environment. It may be that the corrosive elements are only on the property and don't drift far, but its hard to imagine with construction having slowed some in the past couple of years why we would need another one.
Is this being driven by the 331 bridge project?
FBB99% of the population is defined by its stupidity and greed. Sadly, the percentages are higher for politicians,bankers and journalists.
oh lord. we've been through this so many times, and the plants just keep coming to the bay. there is much history to this property and its zoning, Peach Creek Alliance group full of SRB residents attending the meetings and strongly objecting, Woody Long Tshirts (gator gonna get ya...) etc. etc. after the big fight, the heavy industry zoning was designated via court of law, overriding county decision not to allow the heavy ind zoning. of course county lawyers were completely unprepared and ineffective in court. the history includes much more, such as the property owner trying to turn the zoning back to neighborhood/residential but couldn't for some technical reason. so its heavy industry forever.
its going to be very much like the plants in Panama City right on the water. several very large unsightly plants on the intracoastal waterway with massive impact on the environment of Pt Washington. the first impression of such a sight in a peaceful & beautiful community is ugly and loud. but, that is the least of the impact, surely.

Well, at least thanks to Commish Sara for the heads up. Too bad we don't have our Commissioner Awol looking out for us. I think I'll plan a trip to look into something important so I don't have to vote on anything controversial.
Oh Goodie
As I recall....(and not being a speaker or typist)....besafe.com
deals with asphalt issues. Plus I pulled their mateirial saftey sheet data(handling,breathing,etc)
I guess when the only tool in your box is the lack of reason.
Yea...they tried to foist that out here on us other side of the ditch folk.....I had tons of specs typed into the public record for times sake.(we were not nearly as redundant as their childlike atty)
"Nothing prepared us for what was to come. We couldnt go outside during opperating hours......we were prisoners in our own homes"
That was in N.C. & poorly quoted from memory.
besafe has standards for informing the public as to health concerns....& dealing w/ local govt on this.
I hate sequels!
Ok...I'll shut up & paint now.
If anyones interested,we can also repeal the Patriot Act in our county. It only kinda shreds the constitution & Bill of rights.....but not breating this stuff would be nice to start. The plume will hit seaside......show me da money?
Good luck with this....I'm barred from those meetings.

BCC June 10 meeting agenda
9. SOUTHLAND CONCRETE PLANT – Project number 07-001-00093. This is a major development order application submitted by Buchanan and Harper Engineering, consisting of 3 buildings totaling 5,951 square feet on 4.17 acres with a future land use of industrial. The site is located at the end of Old Ferry Road in the Point Washington area. (parcel number 36-2S-19-24000-003-0000)
Concrete plant proposed for Point Washington area
May 21st, 2008 | 0
By DOTTY NIST
The Southland Concrete Plant proposal will be considered next month by the Walton County Board of County Commissioners (BCC), with the location of the proposed plant to be a four-acre site at the end of Old Ferry Road on the Intracoastal Waterway.
Following review by the Walton County Technical Review Committee, the plant proposal was heard by the Walton County Planning Commission in April 2008. The planning commission recommended for approval.
The property where the proposed plant would be located, approximately 50 acres in size, is already in use for industrial activities, including concrete manufacture. This property is subject to a 2001 federal court order directing Walton County to consider it as a heavy industrial land use area.
Despite heated community objection, in 2002 Walton County approved an asphalt plant proposal for this property. That plant was never built. More recently, another asphalt plant proposal was approved for a portion of the same property located on the north side of the Intracoastal. That plant was not constructed, either.
The Southland Concrete Plant was on the BCC agenda on May 13. Jason Bryan, county planner, commented that the developer had decided not to go forward with the asphalt plant that was previously approved on the north side of the Intracoastal.
The Southland Concrete Plant site is located on the south side of the waterway and is currently listed in the Walton County Property Appraiser's records as under the ownership of Washington County Land and Development, L.L.C. The property was previously owned by S&S Materials.
District 4 Commissioner Sara Comander commented that she was surprised that the county had received no public comment on the concrete plant proposal.
"It's been too quiet," she said. Comander said she had concerns about the location of the plant right on the waterway.
Bryan said the developer had followed notification procedures as required by county code. He stated that, to his knowledge, the proposal meets all technical requirements of the county's comprehensive plan and land development code.
However, Len Pullen, a Point Washington resident attending the BCC meeting, stated that he lives in the neighborhood where the concrete plant is being proposed, that he and others would oppose it, and that he had not received any notification of the project in his mail. He said he had not previously been aware of the proposal.
Concerned that others in the community had also been unaware, Comander moved to continue the item in order to allow for others to weigh in with their comments. Her motion was approved, and the item was scheduled for the June 10 BCC meeting, which is to begin at 4 p.m. and take place at the South Walton Courthouse Annex.
This proposed site is two lots north of residential property and directly across Peach Creek from residential homes. Not only is it on the IntraCoastal Waterway, it has much frontage on the delicate Peach Creek. Familiarize yourself with the location and voice your concerns today, if you have any. Meeting is next Tuesday, at 4pm, but don't let that stop you from sending emails to the County Commissioners, today, if you are concerned about a concrete plant being constructed so close to the residential properties in Historic Point Washington.
Not that different
Actually, there is not that much difference between cement and concrete. Cement is the adhesive material used in concrete. Concrete is the final product, when cement and agrigate are added together (agrigate being small rocks or shells). So really, the difference is just what stage of the process you are talking about. It begins as cement and ends as concrete. Also, pure cement is never used since its very expensive. Just a little FYI.
Yes I should have specified that some cement processes produce toxins.
The propose concrete plant is being continued until July bcc. It needs to be noted that the project is allowed per the federal court ruling. the bcc is limited in action. Please do not over react. They should meet environmental regulations but the federal court has ruled.
can't the county relocate the plant away from homes?

Somebody please compose a letter, and I will send it to the commissioners. Contact info is at http://www.co.walton.fl.us/default.asp?ID=2 .
BTW it's "Comander," not "Commander," as per the last name of one of our favorite SoWallers.
it is allowed per court ruling. yes, all county and state hoops apply. but, after those hoops, well then.... total disregard for all environmental concerns and/or residents naturally occurs with this kind of development. I hope it does not become the eyesore of SoWal, and the eventual ruin of peach creek and old pt washington.

According to the Agenda for tonight's upcoming BCC meeting, the proposed concrete plant is listed as being discussed tonight. -- Item #10 under Planning and Development.
BR, it is best if it written by each person, even if it is just two sentences stating whether or not you are for or agin it, and why. People don't like to read the same letter more than once. You can do it!Follow your bliss and the Universe will open doors where there were only walls. ~ Joseph Campbell
If you want someone to read them, form letters are not the way to go, but I guess one would be better than no one writing at all. You don't have to be tech savvy to write a letter. You can just type it into a post in this thread if you want to, and people can copy and paste into their email.
I could be wrong, but I think hundreds of even the same email or form letter would have more impact than a dozen thoughtfully-drafted missives on the subject. What about an email petition? Maybe someone with more experience in this can tell me if that's true.Follow your bliss and the Universe will open doors where there were only walls. ~ Joseph Campbell

Imagine Neon/LED camos would look over the top crazy. Would be enough to keep me away from the Diamonds.
I pretty much unlocked everything except the Gold camos which i have 10 on my 15th (4 on 14th) and alot of attachments and other camos on alot of guns. Theres only 6 that i unlocked all camos/attachments.
not really people do care......watch this video and you'll get it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23_MIwYpuPM

That's why I stopped bothering with Fore Grip as it was a waste and that point could be better spent in actually improving the weapon. Same reason why I don't use any sights either as again it doesn't really improve the weapon.

most guns like smgs don't need them. The irons aren't the BO1 irons, but they're still workable. None of them are like the MW3's M60. That one had terrible irons. I use sights on the SCAR, SMR, KSG,executioner(lol) and most LMGs. The hybrid is pretty good in this game but my favorite sight is the ED tech. The reflex is ok but in this game I feel the holo sight is stronger than in the past.
Still don't see the point of sights myself, if it helps you see the enemy clearer and helps you aim better then more power to you but I manage just fine without them and would rather spend that point on something that would actually help and is useful like a suppressor or the adjustable stock. You can learn to identify targets and shoot without relying on sights/target finder but there isn't really a substitute for staying off the radar when firing or reloading a lot quicker or having additional range in your weapon.
I can't say having a sight is a better than having stuff like quickdraw, fast mag, long barrel, suppressor and a few others which I feel benefits you more than a sight ever could.
What I'm trying to get at is that I don't think it actually does improve a gun's performance at all but rather it helps you yourself.

I never use optics. It just takes a game or two to adjust to a weapon's iron sights and I'm good. Red Dot, EOTech, etc are all non-beneficial, and ACOG has a bonus and a (worse, imo) negative effect.
Even on the KSG I never use an optic because with shotties I always run Primary Gunfighter and I prefer to run Extended Mag, Stock and Laser Sight (Quickdraw in place of the LS on the S12 and KSG).
Besides some guns have such sexy irons I just love to look at them. Like

Last edited by Ignika; 7th February 2013 at 8:48 PM.
Tbh its retarded to have optics on a shotty since i pretty much hipfire 95%+ of the time in all cods i played. Plus yes aiming tighten up the spread pattern, but it makes no difference if the enemy is literally point blank. The only time i ever aim down is because of the KSG since the slug rounds and the only reason some should put optics if they suck with the sights (No offense).
I always run with iron sights since as a objective rusher, the optics such as the ED Tech/ACOG the enhanced zoom is nice and all, but the edges of the optics is a total vision block. Plus Iron sights on most guns are workable. Only gun i hated the Irons is the M60 from COD4, Just its annoying in general. Don't know about MW3 M60 since i didn't play enough to care about the game since i sold it 2 months after launch.
What negative effect on the ACOG?
And why aren't you using a Long Barrel on shotguns? Just kidding (it's personal preference). Also I hate when people say shotties.
With my Remington (the only shotgun I ever use, except sometimes the M1216, which has the same usage as described here) I either hipfire if someone sneaks up on me and I turn around quickly, or I basically quick-scope with it, and optics don't help with that.

pretty sure acog in this game doesn't increase recoil like it did in bo1. might seem so because of the higher level zoom though but it doesn't increase actual recoil numbers.
then again this is based on what i only faintly remember hearing once or twice and i haven't actually tested it out, nor do i use acog on any of my classes
also i got to first prestige gg
I think the target finder has the worse peripheral vision out all the optics but I suppose that's kind of made up with the whole "hey shoot here!" feature of the attachment.

The Target finder has no peripheral vision at all just the whole screen is just the entire sight itself and a easymode detector that noobs love to use. Thats why i troll those kids with smokes or cold blooded so they have to rely on their eyes instead of a easymode detector.
acog increases visual recoil. Not gun recoil. And extended mags make the reloads 10% longer. Not much for smgs but for LMGs and the pump shotties it's alot.
Oh once you unlock ballistic knifes, crossbow, and tomohawks i'd play sticks and stones a bit more. You get crossbow kills so much easier. After a few games I got really good at predicting where people go and sticking them with arrows.
I just need that 1 freaking bloodthirsty and i get my Gold Crossbow. Kinda annoying when theres a lobby full of run and slash idiots that can't fire the Ballistic Knife. 6 Bolts is not enough sometimes.

Let Fido know his bark has a specific purpose. / GK Hart/Vikki Hart/Getty Images
Q: My newly adopted dog is beginning to understand house training. Now, how do I get him to signal me with woof when hes gotta go out? A.L., Denver
A: Some dogs are natural-born talk-show hosts, while others are quieter. For dogs that often express themselves, theres a training technique that offers a good chance for success.
Its simple: When your dog barks for whatever reason at an appropriate bathroom-break time of day, say good and let him out. Eventually, hell know to bark when he needs to go. (Obviously, dont reward a dog for barking at 3 a.m. by letting him out then unless you want a dog who wakes you in the middle of the night.)
Interestingly, your dog ultimately will develop a specific kind of Mom, Ive gotta go potty bark that will be different from his other barks.

Pakistani authorities have long had ties to domestic militant groups that have largely focused their efforts abroad, as in Afghanistan and India. But with Pakistan joining the United States as an ally in the post-9/11 "war on terrorism," experts say Islamabad has seen harsh blowback from Washington for its support of militant groups. In May 2011, al-Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden was killed by a U.S. raid at a compound not far from Islamabad, raising new questions about Pakistan's commitment to fighting terrorism. Meanwhile, leadership elements of al-Qaeda and the Afghan Taliban, along with other terrorist groups, have made Pakistan's semi-autonomous tribal areas their home, and now work closely with a wide variety of Pakistani militant groups, like the Haqqani Network, which in September 2012 was added to the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO). Links between many of these new and existing groups have strengthened, say experts, giving rise to fresh concerns for the country's stability.
Terrorist Groups
Many experts say it is difficult to determine how many terrorist groups are operating out of Pakistan. Most of these groups have tended to fall into one of the five distinct categories laid out by Ashley J. Tellis, a senior associate at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, in a January 2008 testimony (PDF) before a U.S. House Foreign Affairs subcommittee.
- Sectarian: Groups such as the Sunni Sipah-e-Sahaba and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, and the Shia Tehrik-e-Jafria, which are engaged in violence within Pakistan;
- Anti-Indian: Terrorist groups that operate with the alleged support of the Pakistani military and the intelligence agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), the Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM), and the Harakat ul-Mujahadeen (HuM). This Backgrounder profiles these organizations, which have been active in Kashmir;
- Afghan Taliban: The original Taliban movement and especially its Kandahari leadership centered around Mullah Mohammad Omar, believed to be now living in Quetta;
- Al-Qaeda and its affiliates: The organization led by Osama bin Laden and other non-South Asian terrorists believed to be ensconced in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). Rohan Gunaratna of the International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research in Singapore says other foreign militant groups such as the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, Islamic Jihad group, the Libyan Islamic Fighters Group, and the Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement are also located in FATA;
- The Pakistani Taliban: Groups consisting of extremist outfits in the FATA, led by individuals such as Hakimullah Mehsud of the Mehsud tribe in South Waziristan, Maulana Faqir Muhammad of Bajaur, and Maulana Qazi Fazlullah of the Tehrik-e-Nafaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM).
There are some other militant groups that do not fit into any of the above categories--for instance, secessionist groups such as the Balochistan Liberation Army in the southwest province of Balochistan. BLA was declared a terrorist organization by Pakistan in 2006. Also, a new militant network, often labeled the Punjabi Taliban, has gained prominence after the major 2008 and 2009 attacks in the Punjabi cities of Lahore, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi.
Hassan Abbas, a professor of international security studies at the Washington-based National Defense University, wrote in 2009 that the Punjabi Taliban network is a loose conglomeration of members of banned militant groups of Punjabi origin--sectarian as well as those focused on Kashmir--that have developed strong connections with the Pakistani Taliban, Afghan Taliban, and other militant groups based in FATA and the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP).
Since there is also greater coordination between all these groups, say experts, lines have blurred regarding which category a militant group fits in. The Haqqani Network, a semi-autonomous faction of the Taliban, is particularly emblematic of the complex interrelations between militant groups in both Pakistan and Afghanistan. A 2011 report from the Combating Terrorism Center (CTC), an independent research institution based at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, characterizes the group as a "nexus player" with ties to Pakistan's ISI, al-Qaeda, Uzbek militants, and other global Islamists. "For the past three decades, the Haqqani Network has functioned as an enabler for other groups and as the fountainhead (manba') of local, regional and global militancy," write Don Rassler and Vahid Brown in the report.
The Pakistani Taliban
Supporters of the Afghan Taliban in the tribal areas transitioned into a mainstream Taliban force of their own as a reaction to the Pakistani army's incursion into the tribal areas, which began in 2002, to hunt down militants. In December 2007, about thirteen disparate militant groups coalesced under the umbrella of Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), also known as the Pakistani Taliban, with militant commander Baitullah Mehsud from South Waziristan as the leader. After Mehsud was killed in August 2009 in a U.S. missile strike, his cousin and deputy Hakimullah Mehsud took over as leader of the TTP. Experts say most adult men in Pakistan's tribal areas grew up carrying arms, but it is only in the last few years that they have begun to organize themselves around a Taliban-style Islamic ideology, pursuing an agenda much similar to that of the Afghan Taliban. Abbas writes in a January 2008 paper that the Pakistani Taliban killed approximately two hundred tribal leaders and effectively established themselves as an alternative.
TTP not only has representation from all of FATA's seven agencies (see this interactive map of the area) but also from several settled districts of the NWFP. According to some estimates, the Pakistani Taliban collectively has around thirty thousand to thirty-five thousand members. Among their other objectives, they have announced a defensive jihad against the Pakistani army, enforcement of sharia, and a plan to unite against NATO forces in Afghanistan.
The Haqqani Network, whose operations and relations straddle the Durand Line, has proven a valuable ally in some of these pursuits. The Haqqanis have not only fought alongside the TTP and Afghan Taliban in Afghanistan, they have also served as an influential mediator between the TTP and officials in Islamabad. Pakistan has long been a large supporter and beneficiary of the Haqqanis, according to CTC. The network has helped Islamabad manage militant groups in FATA, and provided leverage against India in the struggle over Kashmir.
Pakistani authorities accused the TTP's former leader, Baitullah Mehsud, of assassinating former prime minister Benazir Bhutto in December 2007. Some experts have questioned the ability of the different groups working under the Pakistani Taliban umbrella to stay united, given the rivalries between the various tribes. However, the group has proved since its inception, through a string of suicide attacks, that it poses a serious threat to the country's stability. On May 12, 2011, the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for bombing a paramilitary academy that killed eighty people and injured more than 100 (BBC). A Taliban spokesman said the suicide assault "was the first revenge for Osama's martyrdom" (al-Jazeera). TTP also expressed transnational ambitions when it claimed responsibility for a failed bomb attack in New York in May 2010.
Changing Face of Terrorism
Violence in Pakistan has been on the rise as more militant groups target the state. According to the South Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP), a terrorism database, 8,953 civilians were killed in terrorist violence from January 2009 to September 2012, compared to around 1,600 civilian deaths from 2003 to 2006. This new generation of terrorists is also more willing to engage in suicide attacks; in a 2009 documentary (CBC), journalist Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy reported that the Taliban are recruiting increasingly younger children to carry out suicide attacks. According to SATP, there were seventy-six suicide attacks in Pakistan in 2009 as compared to only two in 2003. Gunaratna attributes this to the influence of al-Qaeda. He says bin Laden's group is training most of the terrorist groups in FATA.
Besides providing militant groups in Pakistan with technical expertise and capabilities, al-Qaeda is also promoting cooperation among a variety of them, say some experts. Don Rassler, an associate at CTC, writes that al-Qaeda "has assumed a role as mediator and coalition builder among various Pakistani militant group factions by promoting the unification of entities that have opposed one another or had conflicting ideas about whether to target the Pakistani state." Al-Qaeda's greatest strength today, says counterterrorism expert Brian Fishman, is its "ability to infiltrate and co-opt other militant groups that have existing operational capability."
In an interview with CFR, Bruce Riedel, the original coordinator of President Obama's policy on the Afghanistan-Pakistan region, also stressed al-Qaeda's growing cooperation with groups like the Afghan Taliban, the Pakistani Taliban, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and others. "The notion that you can somehow selectively resolve the al-Qaeda problem while ignoring the larger jihadist sea in which [al-Qaeda] swims has failed in the past and will fail in the future," he said.
In December 2011, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi-al-Alami --a splinter of the sectarian group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi --claimed responsibility for deadly attacks on Shias in Afghanistan. But some experts raised doubts over the group's capacity to carry out such an attack on its own, pointing to possible support from al-Qaeda, Pakistani Taliban, or "rogue elements inside Afghanistan" (AFP). Pakistani author Ahmed Rashid writes "al-Qaeda and its attendant Pakistani extremists" are using sectarian warfare as a tool (Spectator) to divide Afghanistan and thwart any U.S. effort to reconcile with the Taliban.
Experts say militants have also expanded their control over other parts of Pakistan such as in South Punjab, some settled areas of NWFP, and as far south as Karachi. Military analyst Ayesha Siddiqa writes, "South Punjab has become the hub of jihadism" (Newsline). She argues South Punjabi jihadists have been connected with the Afghan jihad since the 1980s and the majority is still engaged in fighting in Afghanistan. Some estimates put between five thousand and nine thousand youth from South Punjab fighting in Afghanistan and Waziristan. According to some experts, the Karachi wing of TTP provides logistics support and recruits new members.
Counterterrorism Challenges
Pakistan's security forces are struggling to confront these domestic militants. As this Backgrounder points out, efforts are under way to reform the forces, but challenges remain both in terms of willingness to fight some of these militant groups as well as capabilities. Security forces, especially the army and the police, have increasingly become the target for the militant groups. In October 2009, militants attacked the army headquarters in Rawalpindi and held around forty people hostage for over twenty hours, much to the army's embarrassment.
These attacks have heralded a new period in army and ISI relations with many of these militant groups, say analysts. Steve Coll, president of the New America Foundation, a Washington-based think tank, says since the bloody encounter between Pakistan's security forces and militant Islamic students in Islamabad's Red Mosque in 2007, there has been a pattern of some of these groups previously under state patronage, breaking away from the state. He says Pakistan's security establishment is now trying to figure out how to control them.
Most analysts believe that even though the Pakistani army and the ISI are now more willing to go after militant groups, they continue some form of alliance with groups, such as the Haqqanis, that they want to use as a strategic hedge against India and Afghanistan. But Pakistan's security establishment denies these charges. In October 2009, ISI Chief Ahmad Shuja Pasha said: "The ISI is a professional agency and does not have links (DailyTimes) with any militant outfit including the Taliban."
However, in April 2011, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen accused the ISI of having "a long relationship with the Haqqani network." Addressing the Haqqanis, Mullen said, "is critical to the solution set in Afghanistan."
The revelation in May 2011 that Osama bin Laden had been hiding in a compound around the corner from the Pakistan military academy at Kakul--Pakistan's version of West Point--raised new questions about the ISI's commitment to counterterrorism. CIA Chief Leon Panetta says the agency ruled out partnering with Pakistan out of concern that Pakistanis "might alert the targets" (TIME), highlighting the deep distrust in the relationship. Both President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousef Raza Gilani defended Pakistan's military and intelligence services, declaring claims of support for terrorists to be "baseless speculation" (WashPost).
The prospect of further deteriorating relations is concerning to both countries, but it remains to be seen whether mutual need will be enough to keep the relationship alive. "Pakistan needs the U.S. for its economic aid, and Washington needs Islamabad to continue its fight against terrorism and because it is home to the most important routes supplying the war in Afghanistan," writes Susanne Koelbl in Germany's Der Spiegel.

LOS ANGELES - A man was sentenced today to 25 years in state prison for opening fire during a party near the USC campus, injuring two students, after being accused of theft.
Tyson Tyree Smith, 22, was sentenced immediately after pleading no contest to one count of attempted murder with a special allegation of personally and intentionally discharging a handgun. Another attempted murder count and a charge of assault with a semiautomatic firearm were dismissed as part of the plea deal, which was finalized on his scheduled trial date.
The shooting happened about 2 a.m. on Sept. 4, 2011, during a Saturday night party attended by about 100 people, many of them uninvited, in the 1200 block of West 37th Place, about two blocks from USC.
When Smith was accused of stealing a pair of expensive Dr. Dre Beats headphones, he pulled out a gun and asked partygoers, "Do we have a problem?", according to Deputy District Attorney Kennes Ma.
Students began running wildly, and some jumped out of bedroom windows, at the sight of the gun, the prosecutor said.
One student, Christina Wilkerson, threw out her hands in an attempt to back partygoers away from the gunman. When Smith fired a bullet at another partygoer named Jason Sneed, it struck Wilkerson's hand before piercing Sneed's chest, Ma said.
Wilkerson started CPR and kept Sneed breathing until paramedics arrived. The USC student, then a sophomore, spent 11 days in the hospital before being
Smith has two prior convictions for burglary, according to Ma, who called the plea a "pretty fair disposition."
