Some word phrases should be hyphenated. For example, you should write "an end-to-end solution" rather than "end to end solution."1 If you're like me, you almost always forget about the hyphenation initially and just type "end to end" without stopping to think about the hyphenation. It's really a pain to have to go back and add them manually. Sometimes it's easier to just delete the phrase and retype it correctly.
I've done this often enough that I realized it was time to automate hyphenating the phrase after the fact. I wrote a bit of Elisp but it seemed a little too complicated so I simplified things and came up with this:
(defun jcs-dashify () "Place hyphens between words in region." (interactive) (unless (use-region-p) (error "No region specified")) (replace-regexp "[ \n]+" "-" nil (region-beginning) (region-end)))
Now all I have to do is select the phrase and call
jcs-dashify. As with most extensions like this,
jcs-dashify is simple but helps reduce friction in my work flow. I'm sure you can do this sort of thing with most (decent) editors but Emacs makes it simple and natural. As Magnar Sveen says, one of the great about Emacs is its extensibility.
The rules are a bit complex but this article is a good guide.

Democratic Cultures
Democratic Cultures
The Research Programme 'Democratic Cultures' envisions new anthropological strategies to study ideas and practices of democracy cross-culturally. The Programme will produce comparative ethnographic studies which explore processes of vernacularisation of democracy across the globe. The research team is currently investigating questions of leadership and charisma, cultures of elections and the relation between business cultures and democratic governance across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal. The current research is funded by the EU European Research Council and the UK Economic and Social Research Council.
In the coming years, we aim to consolidate the programme by developing research projects in Latin America, Middle East and Europe. The programme brings together a large international team and promotes a network of scholars with shared interests in the intersection of democratic institutions with "actually existing politics", violence and corruption, religion and the informal economy.

ALL! I treat working out like a career, and sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming. I may not have the energy to attack the challenges of the day. The stresses of the daily grind could disinterest me from heading to the gym for an hour of muscle ripping weight training. Maybe I just want to chill and veg out in front of the TV and attempt to beat Mass Effect 3 (which I haven't played in weeks, smh). As much as I want to throw my hands in the sky and say fuck this shit I'm done, I know that won't help me reach my goals. Sometimes you need motivation to get out of bed and hit the gym. Here are a few things I do to keep my spirits high and my focus on fitness sharp:
I subscribe to Men's Health and peruse different health and fitness sites. I always look at the different men and women fitness models in order to find those individuals that have the bodies that I want. I'm very realistic, and I'm not one of those people who's looking for the jacked steroids build. These muses help me to visualize my best body and remind myself that blowing off gym sessions after work and eating junk day in and out won't get me there. If you can't picture yourself with a healthy lean body, then who's to say that you will obtain that body? There have been numerous studies on the effect of visualization on performance. Basketball players will shoot free throws and imagine the ball going into the hoop. This builds confidence, rhythm, and makes their goal tangible. Now, of course practice makes perfect, but positive thinking goes a long way. So find that person with your ideal body type, or even your fit friends that you admire, and use them as fitness muses so that you can stand amongst them too.
I set goals for everything in life. Maybe it's my neurotic nature, but it helps me keep focus. I have my goals hanging in my room and read them every day. I set realistic goals, and track my progress. I track the exercises I do, the food I eat, and my measurements weekly. When you can see results from your hard work, it will motivate you to #KEEPGOING! It also helps you to remain accountable. If you know that you have a goal weight or body fat percentage in mind, then you know the consequences of deviating from your fitness and nutrition plan. You will have to think twice before you stray. I get upset at myself if I have a setback of any kind, and it pushes me to be better than my best. I want to exceed my goals and be successful. Goals keep this all in perspective.
I hate to lose. I can be a sore loser, but I try to remain gracious. I never want to fail in any of my endeavours. This fear of losing motivates me greatly to succeed. Especially since I write about fitness all the time. I always get comments like "you better be a greek god the way you always talk about working out!" Well, I'm DEFINITELYnot that, lol, but I am healthy. My yearly physical exams reveal an excellent cholesterol level, no hypertension, and the overall levels are great! Now I'm working on the outside. My body is good, where I want it to be great. The last thing I want is for anyone to point at me and say I couldn't succeed. So I take fitness seriously so that the lifelong dividends pay off in the end.
I remember reading somewhere that you are most likely to resemble and reflect the friends that you most associate with. translation: you hang out with bums, you're liable to be a bum. You hang out with successful individuals, and you will most likely be driven to succeed. I make sure to converse with my friends who are into fitness regularly to keep my motivation high. I see their progress and want to achieve it too. I have friends who are personal trainers (Like Barrington B-Better) who assist me in my fitness progress with great tips and advice. Although I do go to the gym alone most of the time, we all are working towards our goals together.
These are some of my motivational tactics. What are yours?

-note that if you go on about how this is a doublepost, read on and think again before thinking that. This isn't to everyone-
[b]Hello Ownedcore! DavidTwo2009 here to present a brand new Patch that took me about a day to complete. Remember Vanilla? Yea, those were pretty epic times. But how about we relive those times? I present to you: The patch that swaps the WotLK login screen (and Cata login screen for 4.0.6a)... to that of the Vanilla login screen!
Changed in this patch:
WotLK Login Screen to Vanilla Login Screen
WotLK Logo to Original/Vanilla-WoW Logo
**Old WotLK buttons to recolored, dark-blue buttons!** (New w/the reupload
WotLK VERSION:
Download Link: WotLK to Vanilla Login Screen Patch
Cata to Vanilla Login Screen Patch
This works without the Model Edit Fix. You do NOT need it!(if you are using 3.2.2/3.3.0a/3.3.2/3.3.5a) You will need it if you are still using Patch 3.0.8-3.1.3
This patch only works with WoW Versions 3.3.5a (WotLK to Vanilla) and 4.0.6a (Cata to Vanilla). There is currently no 4.3.4a or 5.x.x version. It's recommended that you use a modified client to run the patch for 4.0.6a, unless you have some other means for it to work accordingly.
Thanks! Leave comments, thoughts... threats(?) down below!
Also, if you would like to relive The Burning Crusade days, I've made an EXACT patch for that as well.
[Race Swap] Draenei Male to Broken Male

Yay for finally remembering. I guess this took awhile to remember, but it only took me 15 minutes to put this patch together again. It's now re-uploaded.
The only difference in this patch is that it has 'dark' blue buttons. The original Vanilla didn't, but I decided to put a spin on it. I think it looks kind of cool, if you ask me

Xtreme Magazine Interviews Natasha Vega – See It Here
Our friends and Xtreme Magazine in the North East did a great interviews with Award Winning Feature Entertainer, Adult Movie Performer, and A Entertainment Girl Natasha Vega. The Tony Batman's A Entertainment News is happy to bring you that interview, which you can read below…. See The Xtreme Natasha Vegas Interview Below.
By Paulie K, Photos courtesy of Natasha Vega
An Italian girl, who has basically lived all over the east coast, has finally found her home somewhere in California. Natasha Vega is mostly known as a Feature Dancer, but she does some porn too. She is known for her beautiful green eyes, her big fake tits and her almost legendary lap dances. Guys if you happen to go to a club where Natasha Vega is feature dancing in, you must get a lap dance, this girl absolutely makes it worth your money, just read on to know what I'm talking about.
PAULIEK: Natasha thank you for talking to me today. Let me start off with a quick question, because I know a thing or two about strippers. Have you banged a lot of rock stars.
NATASHA VEGA: Um, no one too big, no one too famous.
PK: Did you bang David Lee Roth?
NATASHA VEGA: No I wish I did. If I had the chance, I would.
PK: I bet you would. Now tell us your story.
NATASHA VEGA: I grew up in New Jersey, got into some trouble, moved to Maryland. That's where I went to college, then moved to West Virginia when I was 19. I hated it there, did not fit in. Everyone wanted to go fishing and hunting and it was just not my thing. So I moved to Kentucky. I started dancing when I was 19.
PK: Why did you start dancing?
NATASHA VEGA: I used to be a ballerina, I loved doing gymnastics, and I needed some money. I was always working around clubs and bars, and I was a Shooter Girl.
PK: You were a Shooter Girl?! I love those girls! Did you give any guys free BJ's in the bathroom?
NATASHA VEGA: Um, I'm trying to think – I know I have, but I dunno if it was when I was a Shooter Girl.
PK: Every guy's fantasy is to do a Shooter Girl.
NATASHA VEGA: There were so many guys – I just didn't keep track. I'll say most likely, I did.
PK: What attracts you to a guy?
NATASHA VEGA: As far as personality goes, I like someone who is sweet and also a little bit of a bad boy. They have to be funny too. As far as looks go, I don't have a particular type, just tall and in shape. The rest is different with every guy, just as long as he is tall and in shape.
PK: So if you are walking around the bar, with shots, what can I guy do or say to get you in the back room?
NATASHA VEGA: Jut say the right thing.
PK: Well what's the right thing for you? "Hey baby I love your tits." Would that do it?
NATASHA VEGA: No, it's not that easy. I would have to just tell the guy to come on over, I dunno.
PK: So you started dancing and then moved into porn?
NATASHA VEGA: I actually did porn first and then got into dancing. I would meet the dancers and hang out with them and go back to their hotel and hang out and everything. One of these girls was a porn star and we were kind of dating, and she got me into porn.
PK: So you are a bi-sexual.
NATASHA VEGA: Oh yes, I love women. I have a soft spot for women, I think they are sexy and I love them.
PK: What's the first thing you do when get a women in your bed?
NATASHA VEGA: I love lots of kissing to start things off.
PK: Do you slip any tongue in there?
NATASHA VEGA: Of course, you have to, it's no fun if you don't.
PK: Of course, she says!! Then what happens, do your hands start to wander?
NATASHA VEGA: Yup, then I work my way down to her boobs.
PK: What kind of boobs do you like?
NATASHA VEGA: I like big fake boobs. Big, huge fake titties drive me crazy, I love them.
PK: So you like the typical porn star with the big huge fake knockers.
NATASHA VEGA: Yes, yes, yes.
PK: Wow your getting excited just thinking about them, aren't you.
NATASHA VEGA: I love them, but honestly, I'm more of an ass girl.
PK: Oh so you turn her around and eat her ass?
NATASHA VEGA: I love it. I love grabbing a chick's ass. I love a big ass.
PK: Do you bend her over the bed or get her on all fours?
NATASHA VEGA: You can't, you have to have her stand. It's more plump and fat that way.
PK: Like a mechanic working on a car! You climb under there and go to town?
NATASHA VEGA: Oh yes, why not? I love it. It gets nice and plump that way.
PK: Do you finger them too?
NATASHA VEGA: I feel like fingering really doesn't do much, I'd rather us just eat each other out.
PK: So you love 69'ers?
NATASHA VEGA: Yes, I love being on the bottom of a 69 with a beautiful big fake tit girl. I don't wanna feel like I'm smothering her with my ass.
PK: Well your tits are huge, how big are they?
NATASHA VEGA: I have 32DD.
PK: Good lord, that could certainly smother a person to death.
NATASHA VEGA: I love them, I got them a year ago. Girls go crazy over them.
PK: Do you let girls touch them?
NATASHA VEGA: Oh all the time. I tell them go ahead, massage them, do whatever you want. Now everyone is after my tits all the time. I love when they feel them.
PK: Do you enjoy getting titty-fucked?
NATASHA VEGA: I do it a lot in my films, but it's not something that turns me on. It doesn't do anything for me, but I don't mind doing it.
PK: Do you enjoy blowjobs?
NATASHA VEGA: I'm kind of lazy when it comes to men. I just want to get down to business. I don't want my jaw to start hurting or anything. I love to just go after it and get it done. I love to please.
PK: Do you enjoy it when he comes in your mouth or on your tits.
NATASHA VEGA: Not in my mouth, or on my face, that's my money maker. If I have to, then just around the mouth. No hair, no face, just mouth or tits please.
PK: So do you orgasm easier with a girl or with a guy?
NATASHA VEGA: I get off clitorally with masturbation the best. I don't get off much having sex with a woman, but I really enjoy getting her off, and her beauty. I get off better with a man. With a man, it's his turn to get me off.
PK: What can a guy do to get you off?
NATASHA VEGA: I call it finger banging, but it's not when the fingers go inside of me, it's just when he rubs my clit really hard – like really hard while he's banging me. It needs a lot of pressure.
PK: You press his hand down on it and make him rub it hard.
NATASHA VEGA: Yes, exactly, and he has to bang the shit out of me.
PK: Like wild, crazy banging?
NATASHA VEGA: Oh God yes, he has to go to town and fuck me hard. Hard and fast, I mean he really has to pound me.
PK: None of this slow and sensual crap.
NATASHA VEGA: No way, I need a guy to rub my clit fast and hard while he bangs the crap out of me.
PK: I see.
NATASHA VEGA: That's how I orgasm, what can I tell you.
PK: I think you've told me enough, honestly.
NATASHA VEGA: If we are gonna do it, let's do it. Whip it out and shut up.
PK: Are you a size queen with cocks?
NATASHA VEGA: Actually, I don't like it that big, that hurts me. Some of the guys I get booked with I never shot with before, so I had no idea they were that big. I mean, I almost cried in one scene because it's not like I can get them to back out, you know? I prefer a normal size dick. I prefer a good normal size because I love it hard and fast and you can't do that with a huge cock. Guys with normal cocks are like Jackrabbits. They go fast and hard and it feels amazing. Big dicks can't do that, so it's not something that I prefer. They could hurt you too, they bruise your insides. I love rough sex, and a guy with a huge cock can't do that, so I prefer normal dicks.
PK: Since this is a dancing magazine, let's talk about your lap dances. Have you ever made guys jizz in their pants?
NATASHA VEGA: Oh my god yes. Yes. I hate that shit.
PK: You hate it?
NATASHA VEGA: At work, I'm at work. I'm not interested in all these guys, and it gets really warm right there, and your rubbing your ass in their wet spot. If they have something thin on, you can see it and feel it shoot through the fabric. Ugh, it's gross.
PK: When they jizz, you stop touching them. Your job is done. Touchdown. Spike the ball and leave.
NATASHA VEGA: Yea but I don't realize it, and then I keep feeling something wet and you don't ever really expect it.
PK: They don't moan or shake or anything? I know when I drop my two drops of cum I'm shaking and I'm groaning like crazy.
NATASHA VEGA: There was this one guy I always took into VIP and he would moan and groan and grab on to stuff each time I danced for him. Then one day he did the same thing, got all excited and jizzed in his pants! I didn't think anything of it because I was used to him doing all that stuff. I get up and see it's wet and walked out of there.
PK: Ugh, that is not good. You must grind it really hard on their cocks when you dance.
NATASHA VEGA: Pretty much, yea. I like to be good at what I do.
PK: Can they touch?
NATASHA VEGA: As long as your not like, grabbing me or squeezing my tits hard, it's ok. You can touch, just do it gently.
PK: Your tits are like huge torpedoes, they are gorgeous.
NATASHA VEGA: Thank you.
PK: No thank you, and thank you for talking to me today.
NATASHA VEGA: It was fun, thanks Paulie K, come down and see me dance, the schedule should in this mag somewhere or on their website.
PK: I will, I want to get one of these lap dances from you.
Do you not love her lapdance stories? Wow, I am seriously going to go see her and get a few dances. My goodness. She is Natasha Vega and she will grinding in a club near you soon, believe it.

The Main House at Andalusia
Unless otherwise noted, all photos on this page by Karen Robinson
"When in Rome, do as you done in Milledgeville."
"There are two qualities that make fiction. One is the sense of mystery and the other is the sense of manners. You get the manners from the texture of existence that surrounds you. The great advantage of being a Southern writer is that we don't have to go anywhere to look for manners; bad or good, we've got them in abundance. We in the South live in a society that is rich in contradiction, rich in irony, rich in contrast, and particularly rich in its speech." (O'Connor 103)
"As a fiction writer who is a Southerner, I use the idiom and the manners of the country I know, but I don't consider that I write about the South. So far as I am concerned as a novelist, a bomb on Hiroshima affects my judgment of life in rural Georgia, and this is not the result of taking a relative view and judging one thing by another, but of taking an absolute view and judging all things together; for a view taken in the light of the absolute will include a good deal more than on taken merely in the light provided by a house-to house survey" (O'Connor 134)
|View from the front porch of the MainHouse at Andalusia
|"… first of all, you have to appreciate the Southern sense of place and identity, and this is not just geographical obviously, this is a deep cultural kind of background…and you have to appreciate the fact that here is a young woman born in Savannah, raised in Milledgeville, died in Milledgeville, and for the most part never left the state, let alone the region and everything in her work is colored by this Southern sense of place, what she refers to and what other critics have referred to as the "true country," and the true country of course, is a sense of place that's much deeper than just being from somewhere, but it--it implies that place, itself, is an entry way into the deepest aspects of identity, and that's key; these stories might could happen somewhere else, but they wouldn't be the same—and of course the wonderful thing is that she takes her own particular local region and makes it universal … so she—we were talking before the interview a little bit about Faulkner—she does the same thing that Faulkner does, and to use his words, she made her own little postage stamp of native soil stand for something much bigger than just itself—so she's not a local writer, she's not a regional writer, because she transcends all of that, but the regional identity is --is essential. That's the first thing I think an O'Connor reader really has to appreciate" (King, Interview).

|"O'Connor found elements of her Christian vision of man in both the religion and history of her native region. The legacy of a revivalist past has lingered longer in the South than in any other region of the country, and while O'Connor hesitated to describe the South as Christ-centered, she did feel it to be Christ-haunted. The South's history included a major experience—the loss of the Civil War—in which O'Connor found important theological implications. She saw the loss of the Civil War as the South's collective and personal experience of the biblical story of the Fall.
O'Connor relates that when novelist Walker Percy was asked why the South had so many good writers, he replied, 'Because we Lost the War.' Commenting on his remark, O'Connor observed that Percy

|"I come to Flannery O'Connor's work with affection and respect. […] I have spent years in the homes of people who are, in certain respects, her chosen ones—the South's impoverished, hard-praying, stubbornly enduring rural folk, of both races. […] She learned from the people she watched so intently, heard so well; and she wanted her readers to do likewise—learn, while having fun with good stories " (Coles xxxi).
Visit the Flannery O'Connor-Andalusia Foundation website:
Nancy Marshall took these photographs in spring and summer of 2007 and winter of 2008 at Andalusia, the farm near Milledgeville, Georgia, where Flannery O'Connor (1925 -1964) spent the last thirteen years of her life. The photographs, which show interior views of the house and exterior views of the surrounding landscape, document the context in which O'Connor wrote some of her most acclaimed works, including "A Good Man is Hard to Find" and The Violent Bear it Away. These photographs were exhibited at Emory University in conjunction with "The Prophet's Country: A Celebration of the Life and Work of Flannery O'Connor" in 2007 and will be exhibited at Georgia State College and University Museum in Milledgeville, Georgia in 2009. They were taken in collaboration with the Flannery O'Connor-Andalusia Foundation, Inc.

We got this wallpaper hoping it would be easy to apply. It seems like it should be simple, and the idea is, but the paper stretches so that you're left with lines and bubbling. It looks great once it's up, but getting it on the wall and lining up the pattern is no small feat.

Martinelli Asks Business Owners To Vary Work Hours To Lessen Traffic Jams

Editor's Comment: Yup, that's right. It's going to get worse. I'm going to start working at night. But hopefully once it's all done, many of the problems will be fixed. With just the Metro subway system there will be about 500,000 people per day underground using the trains, and not on the surface using cars, buses, or taxis. The real solution is to move the jobs out of Panama City.

FP 17/4/1897: Falmouth Docks. Historical Sketch.
: Public meeting in the Town Hall, noted; irrespective of coasting vessels, estimated at over a million tons, 16.078 vessels of a registered tonnage of 4,093, 412 had arrived at the port during the preceding 9 years. It was considered essential to the proper development of the port that increased accommodation should be provided for ships calling requiring their cargoes to be discharged and repairs effected cheaply and with dispatch. A committee of five gentlemen, Mr.
Alfred Fox
as chairman, was appointed. Later that year, Mr. James Abernethy, at the request of this committee, made a survey and report on the harbour, and afterwards prepared plans and estimates for such dry docks, slips, wharfage and storage accommodation as was deemed necessary, at something over £250,000.
In November 1858, prospectuses were issued by the committee to the public, and another meeting was held at the
Polytechnic Hall
. [His recommendations would cost under £300,000 and works might be completed in about 3 years.]
In April
, an Act of Parliament for carrying out the undertaking was passed and received the Royal assent, the first directors being Mr. Alfred Fox (chairman), Messrs E. B. Tweedy, Samuel Gurney, M.P., Geo. Williams, R. R. Broad, and Howard Fox, with Mr. John P. Bennetts as secretary. The first general meeting of the company was held on 16th June 1859.
On 28th February 1860, the foundation stone was laid by the Rt. Hon. Viscount Falmouth
, and in 1861, lucrative work was being carried on in discharging and storing cargoes, and repairing ships in the graving dock. The profit for the half-year ending 31st December 1861 was £527 16s 1d. and the profits steadily increased until in 1863, when the second engraving dock and the western wharf were completed, and the profit for the year amounted to £2,466 19s.
The prospects of the Docks were enhanced by the opening of the
Cornwall Railway
. [Truro-Falmouth line opened 1863]
In the same year the directors made part of a very influential deputation to Lord Stanley, then
Postmaster General
, to point out to him the advantage of making Falmouth [again] the port of arrival and departure for foreign mails; but an objection was raised that there was not a sufficient depth of water at the docks, nor adequate [passenger] accommodation. [Construction of the Falmouth Hotel commenced in 1864]. The causes for these objections were removed as soon as possible, but the directors were disappointed in 1867
, when Her Majesty's Government, in selecting a Western port for the landing of the
West Indian Mails
again passed over the undoubted claims of Falmouth.
, arrangements were entered into with the agents of the Peruvian Government for establishing at
Falmouth a depot for the importation of guano
, and extra stores were built to meet the demands of this trade, which for several years was a remunerative source of income to the docks.
Agreements were also made in this year [1865] with the
British, Irish and Liverpool Line
of steamers - and this is still a source of revenue.
The storm of January,
, and the hurricane of March 17th, damaged the eastern breakwater and works so seriously that the directors (were forced to) obtain shareholders' authority to arrange for the Public Works Loan Commissioners to take possession of the property and advance funds necessary for completing repairs.
Between 1869 and 1871, nearly £10,000 was spent on dredging and deepening the tidal harbour and all its approaches, which has been repaid with interest out of revenue.
and for a few years subsequent, the
export of china clay and iron ore
promised to become a large source of income to the Docks, but the construction of the mineral railway connecting Fowey with the main line again diverted this trade from Falmouth. The profits of the latter half of 1876 reached £5,266.
The universal depression of trade which followed very greatly affected the docks, and the loss of the china-clay and guano trade which occurred soon afterwards, coupled with the gradual substitution of large iron ships for old wooden vessels,[ a source of profit from repairs] was sorely felt.
The Docks management, had to increase the size and depth of their No. 2 graving dock, and it is now one of the finest docks in the west of England. Management had to search for fresh ways of earning an income. With the aid of their able and energetic Superintendent (Mr. F. J. Bowles) business of every kind was most carefully cultivated and encouraged, and, in 1889 the importation of grain assumed important dimensions, over 71,000 quarters having been landed in that year, since when the quantity has year by year increased, in the year just passed, [1896], no less that 222,000 quarters were landed and delivered at the Docks.

Residents concerned at flooding near Oakworth
8:00am Friday 7th February 2014 in News
Bradford Council officers have confirmed that they intend to take action to deal with chronic flooding on the outskirts of Oakworth near Keighley.
They have responded to concerns by residents of the hamlet of Newsholme, who have been affected by water flooding across Gill Lane.
Resident Howard Varley, 60, said poor drainage had been an issue in the area for three or four years, making the road particularly hazardous when the water freezes over in cold weather.
A Council spokesman said: "We are planning on clearing the vegetation back from the sides of the road, clearing away debris from the gullies and silt from the dykes that run along this stretch. We will also be clearing the weep holes on the road over the bridge to ensure that water flows into the beck.
"This is scheduled to take place within the next few weeks."

Ian Isham told wasps.co.uk, "The session was really enjoyable and we were impressed to see how the players listened and took on-board what we were working on. By the end of the session, all the players were communicating in defence and starting to pressurise the attack."
Graham Loughran, Standford RFC's U13s Coach said, "Thanks for sending the coaches on Tuesday night; after speaking with the players and coaches they have all said what a great session they had."

Chatters Care for Kids (CCFK), a registered Philippine-based not-for-profit organization, is asking for monetary contributions for its latest project. CCFK is trying to raise funds to produce a song to be used for awareness campaigns for Operation Smile Philippines (OSP) and its beneficiaries- children and young adults born with cleft lip and cleft palate deformities. CCFK is an official partner-organization of OSP, an organization that provides free reconstructive facial surgeries for indigent patients born with cleft deformities. These surgeries are performed by volunteer medical professionals from the Philippines and abroad.
Operation Smile Philippines recently celebrated its 30th anniversary by organizing simultaneous medical missions around the country that changed the smiles and lives of many beneficiaries.
For the benefit of children with broken smiles (bingot/ngongo), an award-winning rapper/songwriter in the Philippines has committed to write and sing this song about the life of kids with cleft deformities. A greater awareness of their situation will … Continue Reading →

okay I know Free Agency has already started but I just have a few things I wanted to say but forgive me someone has already wrote about this!
I know most of all the good players that were free agents are already gone but there's one guy that comes to mind that I think could really help us and that is Darren Sharper, yes I know he has alot of years under his belt but he could really help us then It comes to the upcoming draft, (now let me remind you that this is my opinion) but then get Eric Berry with the 5th pick I know that is all long shot with us because every mock draft "expert" you hear from got him going earlier in the draft so just take a second and look at this.. Eric Berry and Darren Sharper in the backfield looking out for Flowers and Carr man that just makes me wish I had the authority to makedecision but I can't so the only thing I can do is hope but hopefully someone can read this and get the same feeling as me(ummmmm S.P) but he would be a great locker room influence too but just like I said all I can do is hope! What does everybody else think?

Oppose extending "Miranda Rights" to foreign terrorists
Will "oppose all efforts to force our military, intelligence and law enforcement personnel operating overseas to extend 'Miranda Rights' to foreign terrorists."
Subjects: Civil Rights, Crime, Foreign Policy, Military, Terrorism
House stalled Miranda rights via defense bill
Updated: Thursday, November 1st, 2012 | By Molly Moorhead
As terrorism suspects are apprehended around the world, a debate is swirling in the U.S. over how those suspects should be tried for crimes. House Republicans want the military to handle these cases, not the American criminal justice system.
That"s where Miranda rights come in. Those are the rights afforded defendants in the U.S. -- to remain silent, to speak to a lawyer, etc. Many Republicans argue that non-Americans should not be afforded those rights and tried in U.S. courts. That"s at odds with the White House, which has favored traditional prosecutions in the court system.
The case of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, known as the Christmas Day bomber (also the underwear bomber), highlights the conflict. After Abdulmutallab tried to blow up a plane with a bomb in his underwear in December 2009, the plane landed in Detroit, he confessed extensively for about an hour and then went into surgery.
After he emerged from surgery, the New York Times reported, he stopped talking, so officials decided to read him his Miranda rights. Abdulmutallab refused to cooperate for several weeks, "which some critics asserted was because of the warning," the Times said.
Attorney General Eric Holder later issued a memo to law enforcement agents encouraging them to use a "national security safety exception" for asking questions of terrorism suspects about any immediate threats to public safety before informing them of their Miranda rights. The judge in Abdulmutallab"s case accepted that position and refused to suppress statements he made in the first hour after his arrest. President Barack Obama"s counterterrorism adviser John O. Brennan told the Times the ruling "clearly validated the national security exception."
Nevertheless, the debate surges on. In March 2011, Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, filed the Ensuring the Collection of Critical Intelligence Act of 2011, which required the Justice Department to consult with the director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of Defense before giving terrorists Miranda rights. The bill says the Justice Department must consult with the director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of Defense before mirandizing or charging a foreign terrorist as a criminal.
That bill never advanced out of a House subcommittee. But Smith"s office pointed us to nearly identical language in the Fiscal Year 2012 defense authorization bill, which did pass. It says, in part, that before seeking an indictment or otherwise charging an individual in a federal court, the Attorney General shall consult with the director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of Defense about "whether the more appropriate forum for prosecution would be a federal court or a military commission; and whether the individual should be held in civilian custody or military custody pending prosecution."
There"s no specific discussion of Miranda rights, so we checked with Scott Roehm, counsel for the Constitution Project, a bipartisan civil liberties group.
Roehm told us that while the bill doesn"t explicitly deal with Miranda rights, "it does make prosecution in civilian federal court of certain terrorism suspects more difficult."
The bill, he said, politicizes the decision-making process about where suspects will be tried -- criminal courts or military commissions.
"That"s relevant because the set of terrorism suspects least likely to be Mirandized are those captured and held outside the U.S. by the military, so to the extent that the impact of (the bill"s language) is to discourage moving any such suspects into civilian custody for prosecution in federal court (as opposed to, say, indefinite detention or military commission trial at Guantanamo) it does make it far less likely that those suspects would be Mirandized," Roehm said.
It"s not clear if the same language will be renewed in the 2013 defense authorization bill, which has yet to be passed. But in 2012 at least, Republicans made it less likely that foreign terror suspects would be read Miranda rights. We rate this a Promise Kept.

I can't stand either one of those writers, I mean every now and then they come up with a decent article, but somebody good has to replace Amick. Sactownroalty is filled with guys who can write better articles than Jones or Vision. I like all of these writers, but I gotta go with High Tops (he's basically Doug Collins). I know it's a meaningless post, but whatever it's for fun.

GMTS Newsletter: powerless, beerless & skinny jeans-less
Tuesday, September 3, 2013
My mantra today: It's Tuesday, not Monday. I still don't believe myself. But boy, will I be glad when it's Wednesday and feels like Tuesday.
I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's slow down and catch up:
-When those storms rolled through Saturday night, we lost power for about 16 hours. Thankfully, it was a nice night and some open windows did the trick. By the next morning, though, I was approaching an Armageddon-type freak out. The popsicles will melt! How will we listen to the fireworks soundtrack? My kids were right there with me. Why isn't the wireless internet working? What am I supposed to do?
Talk about first world problems. The power came back on and life was good once again. But not before I realized just how ridiculously jaded and dependent on electricity/air conditioning/wireless connections we'd become.
-Two liquor stores near the river in Covington sold out of Bud Light the night of Riverfest. Sold out. That sound you hear? Livers screaming for mercy.
-The Target ads with the recorder/marching band soundtracks are fantastic. Can't beat "Single Ladies" on recorder.
-A big group of us went to see ID: This Is Us this weekend. In case you don't have a girl in the tween set, or if you do but can't make out what she's saying through the screaming, it's the story of boy band One Direction and its crazy quick rise to fame. The movie was remarkably … not terrible.
Here's the thing that stuck with me: these 15- and 16-year-old kids went to the X Factor in 2010 and NEVER CAME HOME. One of their parents said they'd been home five days in three years. And the crowds that follow them - just massive.
I could do without the skinny jeans, though.
-I am warning you. Do. Not. Click. This. Link . You will thank me later. It involves Lebron James's toes. Please, for the love of chicken. Stop yourself.
From Today's GMTS:
-50 Shades of Who? After much ado, we finally know who will play Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey in the 50 Shades film trilogy. Big names were thrown around willy nilly, but we end up with two relative unknowns : Dakota Johnson and Charlie Hunnam. Now they just have to figure out a way to make three movies out of books that are 95% smut.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A federal judge is scheduled Friday to sentence former Ohio State and NFL quarterback Art Schlichter (SHLEES'-tuhr) in a fraud case stemming from a million-dollar ticket-selling scheme.
The 52-year-old Schlichter has been in jail since January after authorities said he violated the conditions of his bond by testing positive for cocaine use while on house arrest.
Schlichter, a former Indianapolis Colts quarterback, faces about 10 years in prison for the sports ticket fraud when he appears before U.S. District Court Judge Michael Watson in Columbus.
The judge postponed Schlichter's sentencing earlier this year and agreed to give him more time to have his mental health assessed after a follow-up appointment was canceled when Schlichter was arrested for the alleged cocaine use.
Schlichter pleaded guilty to the fraud scheme last fall.

Trinity Episcopal Church could be called a house divided: Its defrocked pastor led a heavily attended prayer and song service at the church Wednesday night, while Episcopal Bishop Andrew Smith tried to muster parishioners to meet with a new pastor at a church in Plainville.
Smith promoted his meeting in a letter to parishioners last week as a way to discuss the dispute between Trinity and the Episcopal Diocese and "begin to identify new leadership for the parish so that we can move forward in our life in Christ within the doctrine, discipline and worship of The Episcopal Church."
But the message didn't draw much of Trinity's membership, which earlier this year joined Pastor Donald Helmandollar in a defection from the Episcopal Church, related to its 2003 installation of a gay bishop.
The bishop's session at the Church of Our Savior in Plainville drew a dozen people at most, and Smith refused to allow a reporter to attend, declaring it a closed meeting.
Read it all.

How is a meeting, called for by letters to parishioners, be then declared a *closed meeting*?
Unless it is a vestry board meeting in executive session, my understanding is that all broadly advertised church functions, are open.

Kevin Kallsen and I were there last night and interviewed Fr. Don Helmendollar, the Sr. Warden, and a parishioner afterwards.
After the prayer and hymn service, a member of Trinity who had attended the bishop's meeting came back and gave her account.
According to her, there were seven people besides Smith and the new diocesan hopeful priest in attendance.
Two of the people (including the woman reporting back) attended together and were loyal to Trinity and CANA. Two were former Trinity members who are now attending the new St. John's, Bristol (the one where the locks were changed) and will not be returning to Trinity. The actual Trinity members who might form the basis of a future diocesan congregation were two—an older man (in his 80's) who had been a member of the parish all of his life, and whose primary loyalty seemed to be to the building, and another older woman (also in her 80's), along with her son, who was not an Episcopalian, but a Methodist.
Smith tried to convince those who were willing to form a new congregation (two elderly people at most) to begin meeting with the new priest (possibly in a nearby Lutheran church), until the lawyers got the building back for the diocese. Of course, the two are already attending services in the old building—where they are welcome, they have the same priest they have had for years, and where the worship and theology is identical to what it was before the congregation joined CANA. Why they would want to leave that to worship alone with a priest they don't know in a building with which they aren't familiar to wait out a lawsuit that they might well not outlive is not obvious—at least to me.July 19, 7:52 pm | [comment link]

WW, your #5 makes really sad reading.
But, I suppose that +Nutmeg will use that tiny number of two octogenarians, as sufficient reason to justify his actions and his need to continue digging.
Obviously, he is not delusional so the only conclusion one may reach is that in these matters, as far as +Nutmeg is concerned, it is all about politics and the power grab going on.

I've been frequenting this restaurant on and off for over ten years and my latest visit leads me to believe the owners are somewhat going through the motions. The food we had was competently cooked but not spectacular, I have memories of this place Wowing, not sure if it's a case of the rose-tinted specs. We had steak entrecote (staple dish on the menu and a host of sides) however whilst the meal was good it wasn't stunning. You could tell they cut corners on certain things which were not freshly prepared. The sauces has skins on them leading me to believe they had been reheated from a batch made in the morning. Nothing terrible about the experience but nothing also urging me to rush back either,
