Dear Son, We Love You
BY Advocate.com Editors
July 14 2011 3:50 PM ET
Patrick Wallace and Michael Volpat started the website A Note to My Kid as a place for parents to proudly share memories, thoughts, worries, and — ultimately — love for their LGBT children.
The site, which launched in May, is also as a means of supporting youth who
are pondering ways to come out to their parents.
"The love and support of our parents has been a treasured blessing in our lives," says Wallace. "But many people we've been fortunate enough to meet throughout our lives have not been so lucky. We've heard stories firsthand of LGBT youth being ridiculed, disowned. and physically beaten for being gay."
Wallace wants A Note to My Kid to help parents learn "how to express his or her love." Read some of the most compelling submissions to the site on the following pages.

Missing man found dead in sunken car
Family members of a missing Prince Rupert man say the body found in a submerged vehicle near that North Coast city is that of Adam Moore.
A Volkswagen Jetta belonging to the 26-year-old was pulled from the Galloway Rapids, just outside Prince Rupert, on Wednesday.
RCMP reported the Jetta belongs to Moore and a man's body was in the vehicle, although they did not immediately identify the victim.
In a Facebook posting, Moore's family says the BC Coroners Service contacted them to confirm the body is that of their missing loved one.
Moore was last seen on Dec. 29, prompting an extensive search of the Highway 16 corridor between Prince Rupert and Terrace.
On Sunday afternoon, searchers spotted a licence plate and other vehicle parts below the Galloway Rapids Bridge, and a crane was called in to lift the wreckage out of the water.

Medicare-Dependent Hospital Payments to Expire Oct. 1
"We have about 24 sponsors on the bill, which is good news. We anticipated that this would expire on Oct. 1, but our goal is to make retroactive payments," Elehwany tells HealthLeaders Media. "Congress has done this in the past. When the sustainable growth rate expired, they made retroactive payments to physicians as seamless as possible. It's not ideal, but it's the only situation we have right now. We are going to continue fighting for it in the lame duck session."
These days, it's rare to find optimism for the success of any legislation, especially if it has a price tag, in this gridlocked and dysfunctional Congress. Elehwany, however, says rural providers have a strong and bipartisan argument for the legislation that makes fiscal sense and addresses critical access-to-care issues.
"Once we have their ear, the story is very compelling," she says. "It is not a costly provision. The budget score estimates are about $100 million over 10 years. That is a decimal point by Congressional standards. Once we give them the empirical data that shows the cost effectiveness of rural hospitals and they can provide Medicare coverage at 3.7% less than urban areas and have that primary care focus the argument makes itself."
"Even the most fiscally conservative folks—a lot of them are on the bill—see the importance of keeping that hospital open for their local communities and it makes sense for the taxpayers as well. It's a strong argument. We are just running out of time."

Nike, which helped build Lance Armstrong's Livestrong cancer charity into a global brand and introduced its familiar yellow wristband, is cutting ties with the foundation in the latest fallout from the former cyclist's doping scandal.
The move by the sports shoe and clothing company ends a nine-year relationship that helped the foundation raise more than US$100 million and made the charity's bracelet an international symbol for cancer survivors.
But the relationship soured with revelations of performance-enhancing drug use by Armstrong and members of his US Postal Service team.
Nike dropped its personal sponsorship of Armstrong last October after US Anti-Doping Agency exposed the team doping program and portrayed Armstrong as its ringleader. And after years of denials, Armstrong admitted earlier this year he used performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France seven times.
Officials at Livestrong, which announced the split today, said the foundation remains strong and committed to helping cancer patients worldwide through its survivorship programmes.
Armstrong, who started the charity in 1997 as the Lance Armstrong Foundation, was pushed off the board of directors in October and the organisation later changed its formal name to Livestrong.
In a statement, Livestrong officials said the foundation is "deeply grateful" to Nike.
"Together, we created new, revolutionary ways of thinking about how non-profits fuel their mission and we're proud of that," the foundation said.
Livestrong officials say the charity remains on solid financial ground.
"This news will prompt some to jump to negative conclusions about the foundation's future. We see things quite differently. We expected and planned for changes like this and are therefore in a good position to adjust swiftly and move forward with our patient-focused work," the foundation said.
The foundation said it reduced its budget nearly 11 percent in 2013 to US$38.4 million, but said today that revenue is already 2.5 percent ahead of projections. The foundation also noted that last month, it received a four-star rating from Charity Navigator, which evaluates charities based on financial health, accountability and transparency.

My #MCM for this week: Henry Rollins
This guy rocks! He's definitely a man of principle, and listening to his music has been theraputic to me in the past. Strangely enough, I'm not physically attracted to him. But I do find myself attracted to guys who look like him.
Dave GoodinDon't get up, Daddy. You're right where I want you.
If I could look like that. Inspiring
By bud and I would jerk off together, usually on a Friday night after a few beers. About 4 months ago, just as I was coming, he stood at the end of the sofa where my head was and shot his load on my face just as I was unloading. Over the next few weeks it progressed to the point that if my mouth slipped open, he'd direct his load in my mouth too. If I had my mouth shut, he'd paint it all over my lips and mustache. Every single time. We'd both laugh about it, he'd make jokes about making my face look like a glazed donut, and I'd answer back that he was keeping my complexion nice and clear, but we never talked about it any other time. We were at a car show, and just as he was walking away from a nice '57 Chevy, he made a comment about creaming his jeans looking at all the nice cars. Then he winked at me and said my face would look better with his load on it instead of the inside of his jeans. I glanced down at his cock bulge, which was usually substantial to begin with, and said I can't walk around here with a load on my face, and I bobbed my head a little. He steered me back to his old Ford Conversion Van and we both hopped inside. We were no sooner in the back, when he plopped in one of the Captain's Chairs and I kneeled down between his legs. The windows were tinted dark enough and it was getting dark out, so no one could see me bobbing away on his cock. Nor could they see the load of cum he plastered my mouth with…I swallowed it all. When we got back to his place, his girlfriend was watching a Lifetime movie with 4 of her girlfriends, so we went over to my studio apartment over my parents garage, and got comfy on the sofa in front of the TV…and I went down on him again. THIS time, when he unloaded, most of it went on my lips and mustache, but the last 3 squirts I took in my mouth. Now almost every Friday I suck his cock, at least once, but sometimes twice…

LINCOLN lawyer Gilbert Blades, who is challenging the courts martial system, has been questioning its fairness for the last 20 years.Blades has carved out a niche in defending servicemen and women, and has now presented a dossier of cases to the European Commission of Human Rights.He is arguing on behalf of Royal Air Force and Army personnel that the system is unjust. It discriminates against the accused because both the appeal process and the standards of proof required are inadequate.Blades says the system breaches Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights because there is no right to a jury trial and appeal to the Courts Martial Appeal Court is only available against conviction. Appeal against sentence is by way of petition to the board of service concerned.But the Ministry of Defence, which has been notified that a challenge has been lodged, maintains that the system is laid down by Acts of Parliament and all recruits are told they will be subject to it."The first time I went into a courts martial, I felt we hadn't got a chance," says Blades. "The accused is tried by his superiors, not his peers."Blades, the head of a three-partner practice, specialises in service work due to his firm's location close to several RAF bases in Lincolnshire.He challenged the system after the R v Genereux case which was before the Canadian Supreme Court in 1992."The Canadian system was based on the British model but the courts found it to be unconstitutional," he says.

Why are supernatural beliefs so important to religion?
14 January 2013 09:33 AM
The latest instalment of our "Big Questions" series was answered by the author Jared Diamond, who released the influential Guns, Germs and Steel in 1997, and whose new book, The World Until Yesterday, has just been published. A section from Diamond's latest offering addresses an old topic - why do so many supernatural beliefs persist in religion? - and has been excerpted in left wing online magazine Salon, with the provocative title "It's irrational to be religious". Intrigued?
First, Diamond compares the Hindu belief in a monkey god who can travel thousands of kilometres in a single somersault with the Catholic dogma of a woman made pregnant without having intercourse, and the ascension of her child to a place in the sky called 'heaven'.
The grand question here is: what purpose do these serve? Diamond sets out the interesting theory that religious beliefs were initially supernatural so that believers had to show their commitment to the faith by taking on - and not questioning - core ideas that went beyond anything they had ever seen before, or would ever see in their lifetime. As a bonus, somebody who has made a show of their belief in a virgin birth for decades is less likely to jump ship when times get tough.
But he goes further. Supernatural religious beliefs, to Diamond's eyes, are surprisingly similar to human, animal or other natural objects "except for having superior powers". They become like a form of wish-fulfilment, and take on the comforts inherent to it. "[gods'] powers surpassing human powers are projections of our own personal power fantasies", they're harder, better, faster, stronger. "Thus", according to Diamond, "religious supernatural beliefs are irrational, but emotionally plausible and satisfying." Hence why they've hung around so long.

I have been working at Deibel Laboratories full-time
Pros – Caring work environment, Understanding managment team and great leadership structure. The benefits are great. The work ethic of the company is great, an employee can take pride in their work as well as know that the training and proceedures are accurate and follow the accreditation requirements. Opportunity to move up and advancement into managment positions, based on knowlege and work ethics. This company puts the needs and best interest of the clients first.
Cons – No direct deposit but paychecks are always on time.
Advice to Senior Management – Leadership is great, keep up the good work! It is great working for a company where an employee can comfortably ask questions or bring concerns to Charles or the corporate team and they are addressed right away!
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at Deibel Laboratories full-time for more than a year
Pros – It is a great place to work for if you're fresh out of college as they're willing to hire and train recent graduates. You gain the professional lab experience that other companies are looking for.
Cons – Overworking the people who actually get the job done. Laziness is overwhelmingly overlooked by management as "just someone's personality". There is no opportunity for growth, career advancement, promotion or raises.
Advice to Senior Management – There are several workers who leave because they feel unheard. I would suggest a quarterly survey to assess management and lab locations.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at Deibel Laboratories full-time for more than a year
Pros – I love the people who currently work there. Management is nice enough. Free health insurance & affordable dental provided.
Cons – Must work some weekends and holidays. They've been talkinng about renovating the lab since i started, and very little progress has come of that. Corporate recently took away paid breaks. From talking with coworkers, raises seem to come quite infrequently.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Deibel Laboratories full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – Paid Insurance, Opportunities for Advancement: Motivation and dedication are noticed and lead to a greater role in the running of the lab. No Pigeon-Holing: An associate with interest or aptitude in a given specialty (training, quality, special projects)have strong prospects for being given a greater role in their area of interest.
Cons – High Expectations. Workload can be significant: this is not the job for a 9-5'er who's not willing to dedicate themsleves. Ability to work in a team environment is critical. Those who don't work well with others will also not be happy.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

I have been working at Deibel Laboratories full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – They will pay for your healthcare.
Cons – Management is none existent CEO approves 100%? Saw him twice in over two years. Have a complaint or problem? Don't go to HR, they won't respect anonymity and you will just be singled out by management. If you want to work in a lab that lies to ISO auditors and only does things properly when they have to and gets the same deficiencies over and over, because management doesn't care enough to enforce SOP, this is the place for you. This job isn't for a nine to five-er because the company could care less about the employee. All they care about is their bottom line. If they have a client that sends samples at 530, too bad. They don't do second shift, or rotate who stays late (even when some people come in at 730, others at 9-930) so you stay repeatedly day after day for 9-10 hours. They don't hire even when they are under staffed either. Equipment out dated and broken? They don't fix it or replace it, people have gotten hurt more than once. Room to grow? Hardly, and when its there management will over look time and qualifications and not even post new positions. Even though its stated they must in the employee hand book. Which is also followed when they so choose. Smartest decision I ever made was leaving. I can't say enough about staying away from this company. On the surface it may look nice, but the company and its management team from Chicago to Florida are terrible.
Advice to Senior Management – Take a class on how to treat people and be professional, your not in high school. Dress professionally, you are management sweat pants aren't appropriate. Comb your hair and at least try to look like you care. Listen to your employees and their issues, only through you can they help to improve the company. Stop favoring your friends and those you hang out with outside the office.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the good work!
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at Deibel Laboratories full-time for more than a year
Pros – Insurance Paid, Respectfull and courtious management, Competative wages, Truly care about there clients and employees. Great Web of expanded knowlege if ever needing any advice or help. Schedualing is flexable to support needs of employees.
Cons – We have only been open one year and are kicking butt, however we Need more business!!!!!!
Advice to Senior Management – keep your heads up and working in the right directions, somtime processes take a bit longer than needed but at least they care enough to continue to move in a positive forward direction for all employees. Charles Deibel is absoulutly wonderfull caring, and helpfull. would never want to work any where else again.

I worked at Deibel Laboratories
Pros – Health insurance is paid by the company
A good stepping stone for moving onto better careers
Comfortable work environment
Pizza parties
Come in half an hour late?...no big deal
Cons – performance reviews non-existent
Inadequate training program
Incompetent upper management on all levels
Salary/Wage increases are rare events
No direct deposit
Advice to Senior Management – Make your employees feel appreciated. Give everyone yearly performance reviews and raises based on these reviews. Create a legitimate training program. Get with the times and get direct deposit. Promote people based on merit and intellectual capacity. Distribute the workload evenly across all locations. Consider changing the lab into a first and second shift operation.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I'm still not really onboard with Sisterworld. It definitely has some fantastic moments, but it also has a lot of misses for me.
Also, when are they going to review Plastic Beach? I am really curious what they are going to give to that.
3/19 - Kraftwerk - Disney
3/21 - St. Vincent - Wiltern (?)
3/25 - The National - Shrine (?)
3/29 - Daniel Rossen - Masonic Lodge
3/30 - Neil Young - Dolby

Considering they gave the new Hot Chip an 8.4... I'm going to go with an 8.2.
I held this belief also... but, today I listened to it for the second time and the first time with a none watermarked version. I couldn't pick out any songs that were especially weak this time. I didn't like "The Overachievers" the first time I heard it, but it might be my favorite now.
Considering Demon Days got a 6.9, I'm going to be very shocked if Plastic Beach gets BNM'd. I'm gonna say 7.1
8.5 for plastic beach
Lala has Disc 2 of the Liars:
*based upon tedious fact checking.
I still can't decide if I like DD or PB better. They're just about even in my book.
I am neither foxy, nor a lady.

For 2011
Neither one really matter. But Demon Days has Feels Good Inc. on it so I choose that one. There are some parts in the middle of Plastic Beach where I like what Albarn is doing, though.
No one seems to have discussed this but the new Pavement best of comp just got a 10.0:

Themes and Meanings (Masterplots II: Poetry, Revised Edition)
This is a poem about making a journey into nature, one of the characteristic themes of American literature. According to Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau—two members of the Transcendental movement in American literature, with whom Dickinson has frequently been compared—such an excursion into nature could put human beings in contact with the higher laws of the universe. Dickinson's poem offers both an exploration and a critique of this view. Hers is a poem about coming into contact with nature—moving from a distance to proximity with nature—but more important, it is a poem which contrasts the perceptions of nature from a distance with the reality of nature experienced at first hand.
Although the poem begins with an Emersonian view of nature as accessible to human understanding, it moves from the perception of the snake as a familiar acquaintance to the snake as something which can freeze the speaker with terror. The poem recounts the dissolution of the speaker's sense of ease and familiarity while in nature. The startling encounter with the snake, in fact, evokes his need to assert and reaffirm a sense of connection to the natural world. His assertion of a knowledge of "Nature's People" indicates his desire for a personified nature that he can know. In short, the speaker needs to believe that nature can still function for him—as it did for other Transcendentalists—as the means for "transport" to some higher yet friendly...

November 29, 2013 - They are beautiful! I got them for a friend and I'm sure she will love them.
November 9, 2013 - i bought these because our site didn't offer the 'moon slippers' this time. they do keep my toes warm, of which i needed most. form fitting at the heel, so it doesn't slip off most of the time.
November 5, 2013 - Great little slippers! Very well made and a great value for the money.
November 3, 2013 - Love these slippers. They are soft and comfy! I would buy them again!
October 28, 2013 - I love the color and the softness, however, the sizing runs a bit small. I ordered a M (7-8) and I should have ordered a L. I wear a size 7 so I thought these would fit.

PHH Mortgage appears destined for new Amherst office
- James Fink, Allissa Kline, Business First
Town of Amherst records indicate the building could house as many as 400 workers — roughly the same number currently working at the PHH site in Depew. Town records also indicate the building could be expanded at a future date to accommodate several hundred additional employees.
The town records also show the building has 106 parking spots in a sub-garage.
PHH did not immediately respond for comment. The company is expected to complete its deal with HSBC in next year's first quarter. At the time, some 400 HSBC employees in the mortgage center will shift to PHH's payroll. Previously, PHH representatives have said they expect to make additional hires and the firm will keep the local operation.
PHH Mortgage services more than one million loans nationwide.
Zaepfel has several developments in Amherst including the College Park Office Park that neighbors the proposed site.

If you're looking to ditch your outdated iPad 2 or third generation iPad for something a little newer, you'll be well-advised to drop by Best Buy this weekend. The electronics retailer has announced that customers will receive a minimum $200 Best Buy gift card for trading in their working Apple tablets.
The offer is only valid on July 12 and 13, and traders may receive more than the $200 stipend depending on the model and value of their device. Best Buy also promises that any tablets it receives during this trade-in period will be recycled instead of disposing them in the trash. For back-to-school shoppers, the deal is even sweeter, assuming you've signed up for the big-box retailer's student deals program.
The $200 trade-in only covers less than half the cost of Apple's fourth generation iPad. Best Buy sells Apple's newest slate starting $499.99 for the 16GB version, while the 32GB edition costs $599.99. With the rebate, you'll be paying about $300 for the 16GB iPad and $400 for the 32GB variant.
Most tablets in the $300 price range, such as Samsung's Galaxy Tab 3, come with a smaller-sized 7- or 8-inch display. Of course, there's still the iPad mini as well, which will cost you $129 with the rebate.

Why is it when someone appears to agree with me, their sentence usually starts with, "actually" or "to be fair" or "maybe" or "have to agree with this". Do people just think I'm stupid by default?
Is it me or is Samir spouting even more bullshit than normal.....and when it's not bullshit a lot of it doesn't make sense or the grammar is dreadful. Samir, you might be in IT but you need to brush up on your writing 'skills' if you intend to get a decent job. And you're still being an arrogant dick, going to the Serpatine running club to tell them how great you are. Geez....

Jonny, Lit pretty much answered the question. Hard work put in but a week training plan which I'm living on until it stops doing me favours. Trying to improve yours are we?
Jonny your probably gonner move up to Marathon 1 day so I need to be careful what information I realise and make sure that what I give you is good enough for second.
Scott, I might do more miles then you but your forgetting that I never had any guidance like you did so for someone to get a 44:53 for an 8 miler is ridiculous for someone who has worked on their own. I'm 19 until I turn 20 Scott. For your best to be better then my best Scott, something really bad will have to happen to me. We're talking a tragedy here. God forbid. I wasn't in your 10 mile race so no it never settled that. This is what I mean, you will always try to find a way out of failures because your unable to step up to the mark for the real thing. I could probably beat you 10 times out of 10.
So would I have to run something like 01:08 at Reading to be on par with Jonny's 5k PB in a way? Sounds about right. I took into account that it is generally harder to run on the road then on the track.

I think Samir meant 'grate' not 'great'.
Carter should have known that the first rule of internet forums is that if you're going to point out that someone's writing skills are poor, you're going to make a typo...
I'm 19 until I turn 20 Scott.
Here's a first - Samir writes something that no-one can argue with.

How many times did you proofread that, CD?
Johnny, would you like me to throttle that little weirdo Samir?
By the way Scott, as weird as you are, kudos mate on what you have achieved thus far off minimal running. You are the talented one not that non- racing fuckwit who emptily boasts on here.
Did the Deal Half today and met up with DanA. Very confusing as we drove 130 miles and saw lots of familiar faces in odd shirts (displaced Wokingham runners) especially Anthony Jackson who I know from west London and Twickenham / St. Mary's who was wearing a local Sittingbourne vest. My loosing streak to this "rival" has now bumped up to 3.
He won the race and had put on cool down clothes and got back to the 12 mile marker by the time I got to the same marker still racing!
I'm not quite sure you actually realise just what the FUCK comes out of your mouth at times?
Maybe if you did the 10 mile race you would have even won it! I don't know
Now I cant help but do this - and I will retire to watch the thread now and laugh at what you say you do then actually do and dream of doing and will do....
Here are my splits - I fancy my chances to smash your 34:45 10KM soon (5:35m/m)
Mile 1 - 5:10
5KM - 17:10 = 5:31m/m
4 miles - 22:21 = 5:35m/m
5 miles - 28:17 = 5:39m/m
10 KM - 35:34 = 5:43m/m
8 miles - 45:47 = 5:43m/m
10 miles - 57:45 = 5:46m/m
You would not "probably" be able to beat me or at least half the people on this thread alone let alone ANY of the other elite starters at reading 10/10
To make you even more embarrassed - and of course its a Hampshire reference - Girl I trained with under my old coach with the two lads who rep GB (She now reps GB aswell) fresh from wining Southern counties and 4th in BUCS this month... oh She attends Brunel btw and happens to be in the link with Mo Farah on a fancy scheme too.... Ran a 33:58 10KM today on Windy Chichester 10KM. Finishing 2nd to Charlotte Purdue .. Not bad? She is 21. How does that make you feel when you come on here slating people and women too??
Thank you Dash! lets hope I can prove it with some results soon! And In my defence I do have this weirdly addictive childish argumentative front when on the thread
Meant to be having therapy about it :P
Is anyone still riding the Team Samir train now or have most people fallen off?
I briefly flirted with an ill- fitting foreign footy top but I am now dipping my my toe in the running ( ha ha ) yolk of a Scotch egg..

So both of them chicked SG
I wouldn't call this a childish argument Scott, just a self flattery argument where you convince yourself that your in my league. I haven't given anyone a reason to leave team samir in terms of ability. The only way people would choose Team scott over Team samir is on personality which I don't care about.
Any news on the pacemakers for the London Marathon this year? I hope Bedford selects Mike Kigen, he had them running at WR pace halfway! Awesome.
Come on then Dash, why are you asking Jonny's permission anyway you bum chum. How do I boast on here? I say it how it is and I don't believe in cockyness; it's confidence.
Scott, that 10k time was bollocks. If i'd had trained properly you would have seen my speed in that race. If you don't beat it then shame on you. I'm not knocking your 10 mile time, I was very impressed but I'm still over 30 seconds quicker then you in training. I'm sure their are several better runners then me who read this thread and I never said one that I was aiming for position at Reading. I'm going their to try and run with a lot more quality then in training. How on earth do I slate women? Far from that. I'm still trying to get over that JonnyD is faster then Dibaba over the 5k.
Ahh Anthony Jackson's a legend. Although he made it clear that he would have been really pissed off if i had beaten him whilst wearing that ITALIA jacket. Really wish I did but the mud stopped me.
CD, Scott can argue with that, that was my response to his idioticness.

RIP Ryan. Thanks for all the laughs.
I tried clicking the Backflips n' Bioforge Pt. 2 thumbnail and it takes me to the 404 error page.
Here's the URL:
@chaser324: Just tried that. No luck. Oh well, no biggie. It seems like it has something to do with Chrome, because I tried the page on IE and it allowed me to change theme color. The button simply doesn't work in Chrome for me. Oh well.
Also, the strange thing is I never changed it to white. It was set on dark theme last night when logged out, and it was white when I logged in today. Curious.
1. Tried that first, no change.
2. Tried that second. Still can't change the theme.
I'm on Chrome and Windows 7. Just like the subject line says, I normally have the dark theme, but when I came on the site this afternoon/evening, I'm stuck with the white theme and the dark theme button doesn't work.
I know this is minor, but I figured I'd report it anyways.
For me it's either XCOM or Sleeping Dogs.
1980-81? I think? It was so damn long ago. I'm turning 35 in about a month and a half.
I was ridiculously young. My parents bought my older brother and me a ColecoVision. Played the shit out of it. My parents also eventually got us the ADAM. This was also the period when I did most of my arcade gaming. Mostly when my dad bowled in a work league on Wednesday nights and he would bring me with him. The bowling alley had a really great selection/rotation of arcade games and pinball tables. Our cousins had a 2600, which we would play whenever we would go to their house for holidays and birthdays. One of our friends from the neighborhood had an Intellivsion; another had a C64.
Then it was on to the NES which my folks got us for Christmas the year it was released in the US (85-86ish). After that it was Genesis (although many of my friends owned a SNES).
Then I sort of stopped playing games late in my late-highschool/early-college years (94-96ish). I got back into gaming midway through the PSOne generation. And I've been back "hardcore" since.

AG asks for grand jury to investigate steroid illnesses, deaths
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette has called for a four county grand jury investigation into contaminated steroids linked to hundreds of cases of illness and 14 deaths in the state. Schuette filed the request today with the Michigan Court of Appeals.
"Now, this grand jury can be empowered to fully investigate this human tragedy, these 14 deaths and painful illnesses, with the greatest power extended under Michigan law," Schuette said.
The grand jury would meet in secret. It would have the power to compel people to appear and testify. And it could ask a Massachusetts court to order employees of the pharmacy that made the drug to cooperate.
The judge to lead the investigation and the grand jurors would be drawn from Macomb, Genesee, Livingston, and Grand Traverse counties. Those counties are where the clinics that administered the contaminated steroid injections are located.
The petition says there is probable cause to believe crimes were committed. The crimes potentially include adulteration of drugs that caused death, adulteration of drugs that cause injury, and conspiring to commit a crime. These are 15-year and five-year felonies.
The grand jury investigation would include the Michigan clinics that administered the steroid injections, and the Massachusetts-based New England Compounding Center that made the steroid.
The grand jury has six months to conclude its investigation, but can ask for an extension. The grand jury has the authority to compel people to appear and testify. The grand jury can ask a Massachusetts court to order officials from the New England Compounding Center to appear.

It was a little bit of give and take between the Woodbury County Board of Supervisors and Sheriff Dave Drew at Tuesday's budget meeting.
A big topic of discussion, two new staff members for the jail and 3 new nurses.
This is something Sheriff Drew has been pleading with the board for months, but it would cost around $300,000.
Board of Supervisors' George Boykin, would not budge.
Boykin says, "He's got to do his own reorganization in his staffing I think we've given him the adequate level to do the reorganization to do the staffing that he needs to keep the jail a safe and a good place."
Boykin and the board did approve the purchase of 35 new tasers for jail staff and Woodbury County Sheriff Deputies.
The Sheriff also asked for 14 new patrol cars, but you can't always get what you want. The board approved 6.
Drew says, "We can live with six, but understand we will always be behind, and maybe the proper number could have been ten, but under tough budget times you have to give some flexibility."
Despite the large cuts made Tuesday, about $2.3 million still needs to be cut.
Boykin says, "I'm comfortable with what we've done I wish we could have cut some additional funds because we still have a long ways to go to get below that $2.3 million that we have to shortfall."
Tuesday's meeting was just a discussion, the final budget needs to be made by March 15th.

Very nice hotel, very pretty, the lady at the front desk was sweet and helpful. The only complaint I have, and it's not really HIE's fault, is that I heard slamming doors all night long. Of course HIE is not to blame for guests being rude, but perhaps they can adjust their doors so they don't slam so easily, especially the door to the stairs which was […] near our room. Other than that it was a great experience. I would stay here again, but from now on (in any hotel) I will request a room further away from the stairs. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Henderson, Texas - Who Knew?"
First of all I must admit that this was my second stay in Henderson in 5 days. My first experience was at another hotel who shall remain nameless. I have to tell you after the shabby room at the other hotel for just a few dollars less per night, it was a wonderful surprise to check into the Holiday Inn Express! The room was modern, clean, comfortable […] and well appointed. It was such a relief to have this world class experience in a small town in East Texas.

Stayed here just last week, during the crazy storm, due to work and it was quite pleasant. the room was well-tended and the restrooms were very clean. Only complaint was that I should have brought my own pillows but otherwise I slept great. I have stayed at other HIEs due to work and each one has been exceptional and the prices have been quite reasonable. I do recommend staying at any of the HIEs.

"Comfortable stay"
01/23/14 uncsig Houston
Am happy that this property is open in Henderson as the other choices in town leave a bit to be desired. Check-In was smooth and easy. My room was very comfortable with plenty of room to work, relax and sleep. I appreciated there being both firm and soft pillows on the bed [marked as such no less] since that is always a tug-of-war between two distinct preferences. The breakfast area was nicely set up and the morning I ate had a bountiful spread that included scrambled eggs, biscuits, sausage patties, sausage gravy, pancakes, 4 different cereals, 4 juices, an array of breads, muffins and bagels for toasting along with yogurt and milk. I did not have one of the renowned cinammon rolls, but they sure looked good. There is an exercise room with TV, 2 treadmills and a bike and a business center as well. The free wi-fi access worked throughout the property and I never once lost my signal and was not required to log back in every hour like at many such properties. Should I ever travel to Henderson again, I will most definitely stay here.

I like Holiday Inn Expresses, I have stayed at many of them. My recent experience at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Henderson, Texas was exceptional. It is the best Holiday Inn Express I have ever stayed at. The facilities, the service, the friendliness of the entire staff, and the quality of the 'free' breakfast were all excellent.

Clean property with very loud doors and echo making hallways. Had trouble sleeping due to the noise, and we are very sound sleepers. These doors are very loud, and there is an echo chamber in the hallways. HIE is well known for breakfast, this property did not make it up to that standard. No gravy, no bacon, no ham, only eggs, sausage links, and pancake machine. All others cold offerings. No chocolate milk, either. This was in the middle of breakfast hours........ We were on points, using point breaks, so we can't complain, but would go elsewhere if we had to pay.

On September 30, we had over 25 family members in Henderson to attend the funeral of my mother. The hotel is exceptionally clean and quiet, and management and staff did absolutely everything they could to accomodate our every need. For this level of hotel, the breakfast was exceptional as well. My husband and I have stayed at this hotel two other times, and it has always been just this great. Holiday Inn Express will always be our first choice when we are in Henderson.

On a quest to locate some long lost children that belonged to my decesed brother, my mother and I landed in Henderson Texas at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites where we met Ms. April Vessels who was working the front counter. Our initial failure to locate the family was a devisting blow to us, but Ms. April was very kind & compassionate. She offered every way she could to help us locate our lost family members. Ms. April was professional and caring to a fault. Ms. April offered many suggestions on how we could locate our family and one of her suggestions was a success. i firmly believe that if we had not encountered Ms. April, we would have turned right around and drove 10-hours back to Nashville frustrated and hurt without locating the children. I owe Ms. April a huge debt of thanks, and if i could tip her, she woud get a full 20%... We now have our family back largely due to her diligence and commitment to excellent guest services.. P.S. The hotel decore was absolutely beautiful, the rooms were clean and neatly made up, and the grounds and facility were clean and well kept.. I will always stay at this hotel..

My husband and I had attended a wedding at Lake Timpson. When we were leaving to drive back to Dallas, it was around midnight. We discovered we had a flat, and the spare tire was a donut. Needless to say, we didn't want to make the 120+ mile trip during the middle of the night on a donut. So we stopped at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Henderson. The staff was AMAZING. The next morning, we had a map under our door that showed us where Walmart (tire shop) was and what time they opened. I have never in my life experienced such great service. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. It is clean, breakfast was good and the staff made it feel like we were at a top dollar resort.

""Most memorable experience""
08/10/13 Trina E Knoxville, Tennessee, United States
I booked the hotel over the phone and had exceptional customer service. When I called to let them know we wouldn't be in until late, I was reassured and then welcomed with a smile and a bottle of water when I arrived. The place was perfectly lit and the noise was to a minimum. We had the King room and it was gorgeous. Very Clean, huge bathroom, jacuzzi, microwave and fridge, everything we needed was there. The bed was so comfortable that my husband and I are now trying to buy one just like it.The price was very reasonable for the quality of the room. I met my biological sister and her son there for the first time. We swam in a clean and well maintained pool and pool area. The personnel were very aware of all that was going on the whole time. The breakfast was delicious every morning with a wide variety of food. The laundry facility was an added bonus to our trip. The staff, especially kitchen and housekeeping were very friendly and welcoming. It felt like home. We will be staying there for every visit to Texas:) We stayed at a competitor on the way home in Mississippi and let me tell you...it didnt even compare.It was smaller, not updated and you had to pay for your breakfast the next day. I am a Holiday Inn Express fan!!!

"Surprised by the service"
06/15/13 Michael H Raleigh, North Carolina
Top notch operation! I was surprised by the accommodating and friendly staff. After walking up to the counter, the lady who greeted us said: "You look like you could use a snack!" and she produced a basket with various snacks and bottled water! Boy was she right! We were only there for a night, but the room was very clean and updated.

The federal watchdog for the National Security Agency has disclosed embarrassing details about misuse of surveillance data by its employees.
The details involve 12 historical cases of deliberate misuse of surveillance data. And two other suspected violations are currently under investigation.
The NSA's inspector general sent a letter to Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa. The letter says six cases since 2003 were referred to the Justice Department for possible prosecution. Several episodes stemmed from NSA employees spying on spouses, boyfriends or girlfriends. In nearly every case, employees were allowed to retire without punishment.
The NSA director told senators Thursday that violations have been unintentional, quote, "with very rare exception."
The Senate is considering new limits on NSA spying programs. Grassley is urging robust oversight of the secret programs.
