Formula 1 Preview 2013
March 17th sees the opening of the new Formula 1 calendar in Adelaide and once again it promises to be an open and exciting one with the odd customary change in team line-ups for 2013. Most significantly, Lewis Hamilton will be keen to impress new employers Mercedes AMG Petronas with help from team-mate Nico Rosberg.
The 27-year-old Brit will be hoping to improve on last season's eventual 4th place finish in the World Driver's Championship and much will depend on the drive his mechanics have set out for him, despite such obvious talent the former world champ already possesses.
Elsewhere in the driver's field, no changes have occurred as far as Red Bull (Sebastian Vettel/Mark Webber) and Ferrari (Fernando Alonso/Felipe Massa) are concerned.
However Red Bull will have been hard at work back at their Milton Keynes base during the winter break to ensure no complacency is allowed to come between them and a third successive title for both driver and team.
Jenson Button finds himself as teacher to pupil in the guise of new recruit Sergio Perez in the wake of Hamilton's departure at McLaren. Perhaps we shouldn't expect too much from them this season, but with less pressure on their shoulders, this could be a blessing in disguise for Martin Whitmarsh's team.
At Lotus, Kimi Raikonnen and Romain Grosjean retain their drives from 2012 and some notable improvements will be expected by team boss Eric Boullier from this pairing if they want to be taken more seriously by the top contenders. A new Renault RS27 engine will have a lot to say about that.
Further down the field, we are faced with a lot of F1's future as the majority of drivers are quite young and there is a chance for Scot Paul di Resta to impress any potential suitors by building on his impressive maiden drive for Force India last year as well as Esteban Gutierrez for Sauber.
Familiar faces in the shape of William's Pastor Maldonado and Nico Hulkenburg at Sauber may add a dash of experience to the smaller teams, but names like Charles Pic (Caterham), Jules Bianchi (Marussia) and Jean-Eric Vergne (Toro Rosso) will be more than delighted just to finish a race given their car and relative lack of experience at this level.
As we speak, Mercedes have proved to be ahead of the pack on the final day of winter testing in Barcelona. With these encouraging early results, team principal Ross Brawn will be looking to get that first race day in Australia under way as soon as possible and repeat his unexpected success of 2009.

Kids in Glass Houses
Kids in Glass Houses are currently one of the bands to watch in 2010, after a big 2009 the band are set to release their second album "Dirt" on March 29th. I had the chance to interview Joel and Iain about the bands latest achievements and the anticipated releaseof their second album.
Firstly can you introduce who you are, and what you play in Kids In Glass Houses?
Joel: I'm Joel I play Guitar
Iain: I'm Iain I play Guitar
Where did the name Kids in Glass Houses come from?
Joel: Aled came up with the name years ago, He kinda got it from a Glassjaw lyric "Tip your Bartender" is the song.
Iain: The lyrics "Not throwing stones at you anymore" and we thought a play on words of the phrase like people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Joel: And we were Kids at the time!
Who would you say are your main influences as a band?
Iain: Collectively we all have a wide variety of tastes and stuff but collectively there's a few bands that influence us like The Police who are a big influence
Joel: The names we normally give are just like The Police, Glassjaw
Iain: Michael Jackson that sort of vibe I guess!
How would you describe the band to people who haven't heard of you before?
Iain: Erhh Delicious….
Last Year you played shows at huge arenas with Fall Out Boy, big academies with Lostprophets and smaller venues on your own headline tour, which do you prefer and why?
Joel: They all have different vibes
Iain: Yeah each has got pro's and con's like smallish rooms
Joel: Its good cos everyone's like right in your face
Iain: Plus you're close to everyone and its nice and sweaty and there's a vibe
Joel: Big shows have got lots of room and Lights
Iain: Obviously playing a big show is a sort of sense of accomplishment, a sense of an achievement so yeah both have got different pro's and con's I guess!
2009 was a huge year with festivals such as Slam Dunk and Reading and Leeds, recording in Texas, sold out gigs and mainstream radio play what was the highlight for you?
Joel: Last year the highlight was probably was…..
Iain: I'm going to go with Reading just cos I never thought when I was a boy playing guitar at my mums house that I would ever step foot on main stage Reading.
Joel: It was kind of like a last minute thing too as we weren't going to do any festivals last year cos we were just writing the record and recording then a few weeks before we put in a request to get some guest list tickets to go to the festival and they just asked us to play the main stage and it was pretty cool.
My highlight was probably going to Texas though when we recorded the album that was my highlight of the year, good times!
How's the Lostprophets tour been going so far?
Joel: Its going really good so far we've done three shows
Iain: We played the third show last night
Joel: Nottingham was really good last night
Iain: Its been awesome so far they have been amazing slaying it as well
Joel: Really good lights and sounds and tunes. Its really good we're out till the first of march so we have a good couple of weeks yet!
How has your music evolved from Smart Casual to form your second album Dirt?
Iain: We defiantly found a sense of dynamic with this record, like the songs. Smart Casual was like we achieved everything we wanted to achieve with that record, its really polished sounding and there's a lot going on but with this record we wanted something that sounded a bit more organic, the guitar work is a lot more stripped back which leaves Aled (vocals) more room to belt out some sweet melodies and the songs are more epic I guess there a lot bigger.
Why did you decide to release an album track "Hunt the Haunted" as a free download for a limited time?
Joel: I think it was just because like we released "Youngblood" back in October as the first single and the next one wasn't going to be released until like now so we thought we'd just release another one in-between to keep the interest going
Iain: We like to give!
What can the fans expect from Dirt?
Joel: A lot of really really good songs
Iain: This is a better record than our first it's a step up
How did you get Frankie Sanford and New Found Glory to appear on the record and what do they bring to the new tracks?Iain: Well there's one tune that Frankie appears on, its got like a bit of an eighties vibe and we were chatting with Jason Perry the producer about it and no-one really does the whole eighties sort of male, female duet anymore. So we were just like lets just do it and Jason just happened to mention that she was a fan of the band so when we were thinking about who we could get we were like is she about. Aled was down in the studio, she came down and it sounds awesome, it sounds really eighties which is exactly what we were going for.
Joel: New Found Glory we were on tour with them last year in August and just had a song where we thought some gang vocals would go pretty well so we all crammed in a little dressing room and wrote the lyrics up for them.
Iain: We've talked to them a couple of times and become quiet good friends with them, It was just a nice thing to do and who does gang vocals better than New Found Glory. I don't think there is anyone!
How would you describe the new album "Dirt" in your own words?
Iain: Its awesome, really good!
Joel: Just real sound and its not like all processed sounds or anything, its all natural sounding.
Iain: It sounds a lot different to a lot of bands that are out there, trying to gofor this polished auto tuned processed compressed guitars. Its about trying to make a stand !
What's one thing you hope to achieve with your music?
Joel: Just to keep on going really and keep on playing shows with people coming
Iain: Play shows, meet people, see the world, that's what we want to achieve. Like we've never been ones for like I want a mansion, I want fame and all that, I wouldn't turn it down but we're so happy and appreciative to be doing what we're doing so as long as we can keep doing what we're doing then it's all good.
What's your favourite song to play live and why?
Joel: All the new ones at the moment, out of the older ones my favourite is probably Lovely Bones it always goes down good.
Iain: Sunshine a new track is doing it at the moment for me. It's just really nice to be starting to play new songs though and seeing them go down well.
Joel: We've been playing the older ones for the best part of three years, some of them even longer so its just good to vary it up a bit and throw some new songs in.
What plans does the band have for the rest of 2010?
Joel: Getting the album out in March.
Iain: It comes out March 29th, Headline tour first couple of weeks in May that's what were aiming for
Joel: and Just going to different countries I guess and try to spread the word a bit more, mainland America hopefully
Iain: Japan, mainland Europe, Just basically tour as much as we can and drill out new songs into peoples heads.
Finally any last words?
Iain: Buy Dirt!

PLATTSBURGH — The controversial Plattsburgh Town Council election saga took another turn Monday night.
The council unanimously appointed former Councilor Gerard Renadette to the seat, passing over Republican candidates Tom Metz and Bill Brudvig, who tied for the post when absentee ballots were counted last week.
The decision came after a lengthy legal challenge that, until then, had prevented the counting of the absentee ballots from last fall's election.
The tie meant the Clinton County Board of Elections was not able to declare either man the winner and gave the Town Council the right to leave the seat vacant or appoint someone to fill it.
Town Supervisor Bernie Bassett said the council spent a lot of time on the decision.
"We came to the conclusion it was in the best interest of the town to fill the position rather than leave it vacant," he said.
Bassett said Renadette, an independent, was chosen rather than either of the two candidates who finished second in the election to not create the appearance of giving either the advantage as an incumbent in the special election this fall to fill the final three years of the term.
"It's important we let the people make their decision in the fall," he said, adding it was not a partisan decision.
Renadette said the only reason he considered accepting the appointment was because he will not seek re-election next fall.
Clinton County Republican Party Chairman Don Lee said that while he has nothing against Renadette, he believes either Metz or Brudvig should have been appointed to the seat.
"We think the people stated who they wanted in the election," he said.
Lee said the two candidates could have decided which one would get the seat through a coin flip or some other method.

Fleur de Sel and Smoked Salt Caramels
Makes about 64 caramels
Click here for a printable version of the recipe.
Like the inventor of the airplane, the creator of fleur de sel caramels is contested. Was it George Cayley, father of aerodynamics, who invented it in 1799; or Jean-Marie Le Bris in his horse-drawn "albatross artificial"; or John Montgomery in his glider; or Otto Lillienthal, Octave Chanute, or Percy Pilcher? Some say it was the Wright brothers. The arguments tend to get political and technical. The French have been making fleur de sel caramels for some time. Some say salted caramel came from the New World, where salt water was used as a confectionary. But it's all but certain they never made use of great salt. However, the Americans, prone to exaggeration, have succeeded in burning the sugar to the point where the caramels treads somewhere between a dessert topping and a meal. Blend burnt caramel with good salt and little stars of flavor glimmer from within the impenetrable vastness of the caramel. Look skyward. Machines for soaring among the stars might never have been invented had the salted burnt caramel come first.
1 cup heavy cream
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup agave syrup or invert sugar (see sidebar)
1/4 cup water
2 three-finger pinches fleur de sel
2 three-finger pinches smoked salt, such as Halen Mðn oak smoked
Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch-square baking pan with parchment paper or foil and spray with oil; set aside.
Bring the cream and butter to a simmer in a small saucepan; remove from the heat and set aside.
In a medium-sized heavy saucepan over medium heat, heat the sugar, agave syrup, and water, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Boil, gently swirling the pan, until the sugar turns a dark golden color (350ºF on a candy thermometer).
Carefully stir in the cream mixture (the mixture will bubble vigorously) and boil, stirring often, until the liquid reaches 248ºF, about 12 minutes At that point, a drop of the mixture dribbled into a glass of cold water will form a ball that will be firm enough to lift up but flexible enough to flatten between your fingers (soft-ball stage).
Remove the sugar from the heat and quickly stir in the fleur de sel. Immediately pour into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle with the smoked salt. Allow to cool at room temperature until firm, about 1-1/2 hours more.
Invert onto a cutting board and peel off the paper. Cut into 1-inch squares and wrap each piece in a 4-inch square of wax paper or cellophane, twisting the ends to close.
INVERT SUGAR; If you can't find agave syrup, you can use invert sugar instead. It's very easy to make, and assures your caramel will come out smooth and silky. Mix 3 cups granulated sugar, 1-1/2 cups water, and the juice of 1/2 lemon in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. The resulting invert sugar liquid can be stored indefinitely in a small plastic container.

Media event set for September 9, launch likely ~10 days later.
iPhone 5s Orders Launch to 7-10 Day Estimates in Australia/China, 'October' in Hong Kong/Singapore
In both Australia and China, all models in all colors are showing shipping estimates of 7-10 business days at launch, with Hong Kong and Singapore seeing even longer estimates simply stating "October".
The extended shipping dates suggest that supplies are likely to be tight around the world, meaning that those looking to order through Apple's online stores will need to consider their plans if they hope to have a device in hand quickly. In-store stocks are also likely to be quite limited, with perhaps more customers now electing to camp out at their local stores once they've seen the delays they may encounter ordering online.

I think it is cool that the 5s started selling in other countries before the US. Helps the world market image of the company and sticks it to the silly ones who think the US should get everything first :D
I wish there were still DOWN votes.
I can hear the earnings call now- supply constraints and channel inventory hit the bottom line- iMac all over but at its largest flagship item.
I wish there were still DOWN votes.
Me Too :p
Really want to make people mad - be first in line and buy out all the phones. :) LOL
Good luck! Woman tries to buy out store's iPhones, gets pwned. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqUKEhyvFaM)
I guess I have no other choice than go online at 1201 am this morning when the 5s goes on sale here in the US.
I initially was going to go my nearest Apple store (or AT&T store if the Apple sold out) and but the phone. This does not bode well.:(
Hey, at least you don't have to wait until 3:01 am like those in the east coast! :eek:
My plan is: first try to order online, if that fails, stay awake and line up outside at&t store at like 6 or 7 am.
As I commented in a previous thread Apples no preorders for the iPhone 5S followed by controlled leaks of tight supplies and now this are all to get people lining up. It has been years (iPad 2 launch) since there were crazy lines for an apple product so I am not surprised that Apple wants to get back some of the thunder and the free publicity that having stupid long lines provides
No that is ridiculous. Apple wants to sell as many as possible and would do pre-orders if they could. It does not help them financially or reputation wise to not sell as many as they possibly can.
While you are being wrong about that you are completely wrong about no lines for Apple products since the iPad 2. Laughably wrong.

Review Details
Product Review (submitted on August 19, 2013):
BIG help on Acne marks!
I LOVE this product! I actually wish I had known how much I would like it before I started using it because I would have taken "before" and "after" photos to post here. Anywho here are my loves:
Major Pros:
- Skin is COMPLETELY smooth and soft after using the pads - they don't sting, don't leave my skin pink and I have no qualms about putting make up on or being in the sun after using them like I sometimes have with actual micro treatments at the esthetician's
- Has significantly helped reduce the red acne marks that were left on my cheeks from a bad bout of cystic acne a few years back (note: I also used this in conjunction with the de-scar pen so I can't be entirely certain which was responsible, but I've since run out of the other product and have continued to see results with only these so they definitely are doing something!) I started using these 6 weeks ago (2-3x per week), and while the scars are not completely invisible yet, I would say they are about 45-50% less noticeable than they were before. Coming off of three years of Tretinoin creams, light treatments, etc. and seeing much less progress than that, I am amazed.
Happy Asides:
- Easy to take back and forth traveling
- Requires little storage space
- Leaves a nice healthy "clean" feeling on my face, especially when I use right before bed
- I loved them so much I gave one to my mom to try and she thinks they're great for her "old" skin (60-ish) - I don't personally know, but hey, might as well throw it in
- Okay, truthfully, if you read and follow the directions then you wouldn't do this so it isn't really a "con," but if you get lazy (like me) and don't completely dry off your face before applying the pad, you will get a tingly pins-and-needles sensation in your face. Some people might think it stings, I weirdly like it since it feels like further proof that it's working.
Chicago, IL
Would You Recommend? Yes
Item buy from? Nordstrom
Best skin concerns description? Acne
Owned this product since? 1 - 3 months
Product Usage? Once a week
Email, once review posted? Yes

Start on the shining arete Angle right at bolt 6 Belay/Rappel at 2 bolted chains (-190')
24+ bolts
I only counted 25 bolts, or should I say lost count after 25, was it recently retro-bolted? It did seem a bit run out in spots. . .
I counted 24 bolts, but, I think Kevin says 25 clips in another description. So, maybe 24 plus the anchors. Note: you can rappel to Mantle Dynamics then 100 feet rap to the ground from that anchor.
This route description kinda lacks... How about: Start as for Mantle Dynamics by pulling the fun mantle move onto the gigantic chicken head. Clip another bolt or two and veer right following the numerous bolts through a series of fun, positive moves in dishes and depressions in the rock. Near the top if you don't feel like clipping bolts through some nearly third-class terrain, you can traverse horizontally to the right clipping a lone bolt and the anchors atop the 5.7 hand crack route or move left to the anchors for Mantle Dynamics. A single 60m will get you down from either set of alternate anchors.
After the fun traverse moves this ones really easy. Wished I would have thought about going to anchors as Jason suggested as going to the top just adds another rap.
I thought it was a little easier than Mantle Dynamics.

By DON DARE 6 On Your Side Consumer Investigator
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - It's not the perfect white collar crime, but is very close to it. Victims are often reluctant to speak out, except for a Knoxville woman who wanted to warn others after realizing the expensive mistake she had made.
From the beginning, the fraudster warns his target not to tell anyone about what they're doing. Federal agents say thousands of people have been victims of this hoax, and it is one 6 On Your Side has reported before.
Jody and her daughter Michelle never keep secrets from one another except the other week. Both women asked for their last names not to be revealed.
Jody's troubled secret started with a call on her cell phone.
"They said that my grandson had had a wreck in a rental car," she explained.
Her grandson Max is an Air Force recruit assigned to a training unit in Texas. Max, she was told, had hit a telephone pole in Maryland and must pay thousands for the damage.
"They let me talk with him briefly. Everything was very hurried," Jody said.
Jody said the voice she heard sounded like her grandson, but was distraught. The request was for money from a so-called attorney by the name of Mr. Weisman.
After withdrawing cash from her bank, Jody went to Walmart and wired $2,500 to Maryland. However, three hours later, there was another call.
"And then the second call, they said they found out he had been drinking," Jody said.
This time she was directed to go to a different Walmart and wire $2,600.
Then the next day, Jody got a third call. Again, she followed the same routine, going to yet a third Walmart.
"When your grandson is involved, you will spend your last dollar," she said, explaining that the whole time she thought her grandson was really in trouble.
It was the fourth call asking for even more money that set Jody on edge.
"Well, she was frantic when she called me Friday morning," said Jody's daughter Michelle.
Michelle said she had not heard a word about her nephew until her mother's call.
"She asked me not to say anything because that's what they told her. I did that out of love and respect for my mother," said Michelle.
Jody told 6 On Your Side she sent $10,595 to the scammers.
"Life insurance money from my husband's death," she explained.
Federal agencies that have investigated the grandparent hoax say the callers are very smooth, but you can trip them up.
Don't fill in the blanks for them. If the con artist says your granddaughter is in trouble, ask which one. Most likely, they'll hang up.
Do what ever is necessary to confirm your real relative's whereabouts. Call them or call their parents.
Finally, if the caller asks you to wire money, that's a good indication it's a scam.
Jody is embarrassed for being so naive, she says, and wants others to learn from her $10,000 mistake.
"Be very careful. No matter what they tell you, tell somebody. Above all, tell somebody," she said.
It wasn't until several days after the final payment that Jody opened up and talked with Max's mother who said he's in Texas and can't leave the air base because of his training schedule.
Walmart has a warning about this scam on its website, as do other businesses that sell MoneyGrams. Once that money is wired, there is little that authorities can do.

Basingstoke Town unveil new away kit - as chosen by the fans
Updated 4:10pm Tuesday 15th July 2014 in Sport By John Boyman, Sports Reporter
BASINGSTOKE Town have unveiled a new away kit for the 2014-15 season - a design selected by supporters via social media.
Throughout May, fans were given the chance to select their favourite design from four options via the club's forum, Facebook and Twitter. There was an overwhelming winner, with supporters voting for a white kit with blue trim.
Basingstoke midfielder Simon Dunn, who was one of the people who voted for the white kit, said: "I'm really glad that this kit was the one chosen. It looks sleek, smart and feels very light to wear – I can't wait for the season to begin."

News: T.I. Locks In Kanye West For "King Uncaged" LP, "I Just Left Hawaii"
Thursday, Aug 5, 2010 4:40PM
Grammy-winning rapper T.I. has revealed that rap fans can anticipate new music from Kanye West to be featured on his upcoming King Uncaged LP.
While resisting details, the "King of the South" said the tracks were worked on in Hawaii.
Call it the reunion of the King of the South and Martin Louis the King Jr. The last time T.I. hooked up with Kanye West, the two made the undeniable hip-hop anthem "Swagger Like Us." And the pair recently took half a dozen more shots at making another classic. You can add the Louis Vuitton Don to the list of acclaimed producers to work on Tip's next LP, King Uncaged (due in September). "I just left Hawaii with Kanye," Tip said last night in Hollywood on the red carpet for the world premiere of "Takers." "We did six records." (MTV)
Grand Hustle's DJ Drama recently revealed that T.I. was working on West's forthcoming new album.
"He just got back from Hawaii," Drama told radio personality DJ Whoo Kid during a broadcast on Saturday (July 24) referring to T.I.. "He was out there with Kanye, working on Kanye's album. [His] movie's coming out August 27th. Takers." (Radio Planet TV)
T.I.'s new album is expected to drop at the end of September.
T.I.'s upcoming album - his first since his release from prison - King Uncaged, has been pushed back to September 28. Revealed on Amazon.com, the new release date is the latest example of a Hip Hop artist whose album has has dropped later than expected - a laundry list that includes the likes of Drake, Game, Diddy, Rhymefest and N.E.R.D. (Hip Hop DX)
The rapper recently compared his project to the late Tupac Shakur's All Eyez on Me.
T.I. is setting the bar high for his post-prison album, King Uncaged, comparing it to Tupac's 1996 classic All Eyez on Me, which was released months after 'Pac got out of prison. "This is the most significant return from incarceration that the game has had since then," T.I. says. "Just given the enormous success of that project, everyone's expecting the same results. I just want to meet the expectations, if not surpass them." (Rolling Stone)

A Second Amendment Epiphany
Linoge linked to a couple of articles last week, and one of them – once I finally got around to reading it – tripped one of those switches in my brain that said "Oh! Now I get it!" regarding the deceptively clumsy phrasing of the Second Amendment.
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. – U.S. Constitution, Amendment II
The relationship between the two clauses, and how or even if they cause the Right to relate to militias, has been debated for at least a century. A popular argument among those who favour gun control – whether outright bans on all guns, or bans of "assault weapons" – is that the 2nd Amendment is preconditioned on membership in a militia, and that the National Guard and/or the advent of professional police forces has superseded the founder's model of local militias. As a result, they argue, the 2nd Amendment does not apply to ordinary citizens, only to police and National Guard members.
While this argument certainly ignores the fact that the unorganized militia is still embodied in US law, it is flawed on a much more basic level – the 2nd Amendment clearly and specifically assigns that right to the people, not to the militia or members of a militia. This is the classic dependent/independent clause argument – that the reference to a "well regulated militia" explains the necessity of protecting the right of the people to keep and bear arms, but does not limit that right to membership in a militia.
But there was a point in reading that article where something else clicked for me, though I can't point to any one sentence or paragraph and say "this is where I understood". It's a surprisingly simple concept.
The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, so that they may quickly and easily form a militia should the need arise.
When the Right for each and every citizen to own, possess, and carry arms is restricted, a militia cannot be formed without those people first going out and obtaining arms. If the government is allowed to restrict how, when, and if a citizen can purchase firearms – yes, even military weapons – then the government can restrict or prevent the formation of any militias.
But why, you ask, in our modern society, would anyone need to form a militia so quickly that they couldn't wait for the government to approve it if it truly was needed?
Leaving aside the assumption that the government a) would approve it in the first place, and b) would do so quickly enough to do any good, it also ignores the speed in which bad situations can develop. A perfect modern day example of this is the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles in 1992, and the events that took place in Koreatown during those riots.
With the police overwhelmed (and, by all accounts, not terribly motivated to intervene in that neighborhood anyway), it fell to the citizens there to defend their homes, livelihoods, and their lives themselves. They banded together in small groups for their own defense – the very definition of an unorganized militia. Once the riots started, they didn't have time to go to a store and buy a gun. They didn't have time to sit through a background check. They were dependent on the guns they had at the time.
Without the protections afforded by the Second Amendment, Koreatown would have been destroyed by the rampaging mobs.
What would have been more effective in Boston last month – unarmed citizens cowering in their homes with the police and National Guard imposing martial law (lite! with only half the jackboots!) while searching house to house, or armed citizens standing watch over their own neighborhoods while directing the police towards any suspicious activity?
I'll say it again. The Second Amendment Right to keep and bear arms does not depend on membership in a militia, it is what allows us to form militias where and when they are needed.

More questions about the death of Ambassador Stevens
Reading this really pisses me off. I hope it's not really true, but unfortunately I find it believable.
[Lt.Col.] WOOD [commander of the security team]: We knew that was coming through the cables and the draft cables that were going back and forth. The requests were being modified to say 'don't even request for D.O.D. support'.
ATTKISSON: So State Dept. was telling the folks on the ground in Libya 'don't continue to ask for this help'?
WOOD: Correct.
I really hope there's some important context being left out, but I doubt it. I think it really is just another symptom of our current inept "leadership".

Quote of the Day – 2012-09-18
From the reigning mistress of snark, Tam.
Actually, "Islamophobia" may not be an accurate term at all, since "-phobia" describes fear that is irrational or out of proportion, when it has been shown over and over that a fear of Muslims losing their collective $#!+ in an orgy of burning, looting, and killing in response to "insults" that might not even be sufficient do draw more than a "Yeah? So's your mom!" in response on any civilized elementary school playground is grounded in, not just historic example, but a clear-headed grasp of current events.
Not much I can add to that.

A hint for our chief executive
Warning shots – like those being fired by the security forces at our embassy in Yemen – only work if the people being warned believe that there's a chance you'll actually shoot them if they don't stop. So far, we have not given them any reason to believe this.
These "protests" are invasions of sovereign American soil, and are acts of war. Treat them as such, and shoot the bastards.

An alternative to the TSA
I have an idea. Rather than molesting and taking naked photos of airline passengers, let's do this instead:
- Abolish the TSA. They're worse than useless.
- Issue every adult passenger on the airliner a Taser, specially made with no "repeat shock" or "drive stun" functions (to prevent emotionally driven abuse if it needs to be used – any needed redundancy will come from other passengers with Tasers).
Sure, if there's a terrorist on board you've just given him a weapon. But he gets to disable just one person with it, on a plane full of passengers (over 400, on a 747, depending on the configuration) who also have Tasers, and who remember what the terrorists did on 9-11. I wish him luck with that.
What's that you say? With the TSA gone he got a gun onto the plane, so now he's better armed than the passengers? Well, he still has to get past a couple hundred scared and angry passengers, all armed with Tasers, many of whom are or will eventually be behind him. Again, good luck with that.
What about bombs? Well, it's not like the TSA has actually stopped any of those so far, is it? It's only blind luck that the ones that got through were duds. We won't be losing any security, there, and passengers with Tasers will have a better chance at stopping the triggerman than if they have to wrestle the detonator away from him.
Why not guns with frangible ammunition? Because using Tasers in this way actually has some advantages over firearms. 1) Bad guys using it only get one shot, vs. hundreds of similarly armed passengers, 2) Misses and "friendly" fire in the confined space of an aircraft are very unlikely to kill anyone, and 3) Someone acting oddly due to a medical issue or intoxication is far less likely to be killed by a twitchy passenger (I believe a couple of instances of "dogpile on the crazy guy" have resulted from medical issues), allowing more reasoned authorities to sort things out on the ground.
As a final, redundant measure, give the pilots guns, just in case somebody actually manages to breach the cockpit. If you can't trust the pilots with guns, then why the heck are you letting them fly the plane?
Simple and effective. This would do more to enhance aviation security than any kind of passenger screening and searches that we could possibly do.
(Note: This post is a repeat of a comment I posted at Joe Huffman's blog, The View From North Central Idaho. Since the original post was a few days old by the time I commented, and I like the idea, I thought I'd repost it here.)

Am I the only one who finds this disturbing?
NYPD Could 'Take Down A Plane' If Necessary, Commissioner Says
Pelley: "Are you satisfied that you've dealt with threats from aircraft, even light planes, model planes, that kind of thing?"
Kelly: "Well, it's something that's on our radar screen. I mean in an extreme situation, you would have some means to take down a plane."
Pelley: "Do you mean to say that the NYPD has the means to take down an aircraft?"
Kelly: "Yes, I prefer not to get into the details but obviously this would be in a very extreme situation."
Pelley: "You have the equipment and the training."
Kelly: "Yes."
A necessary ability in today's world, or an example of the further militarization of the police?
I don't know the answer, but that article sent a cold chill down my spine.

Quote of the day – 2011-09-11
Yes, I know that's yesterday's date. I didn't post it yesterday, because yesterday was a day for remembering those who were murdered ten years ago, and for honoring those who gave their lives trying to save as many as they could. A day to firm our resolve that it will never happen again, and to remind ourselves that we must work to reclaim the freedoms we lost in a panicked and futile bid for an illusory "security."
It was a day in which I gave these people the greatest remembrance an honor I could: I got on an ambulance and worked to help others.
It was not a day for politics, or for the particular anger that inspired this quote.
You see, the service at the site of the very tragedy it purported to memorialize had a very glaring omission – NYC mayor Bloomberg and his staff decided that there wasn't "enough room" for firefighters. The very people who knowingly risked their lives that day to help others – and in hundreds of cases lost those lives. To this insult, which fills me with rage every time I contemplate it, I can only respond by quoting blogger Kathy Shaidle:
343 of them managed to fit into the exact same space 10 years ago…
To be more specific, three hundred and forty-three firefighters, 37 Port Authority police officers, 23 NYPD officers and three court officers.
You're a bastard, Bloomberg. Every surviving responder who was there on that horrible day deserved to be there yesterday more than you did. They deserved to be there more than Obama, or Giuliani, or Bush, or any of your other high-profile VIPs and their retinues who might have been there. Until you had at an absolute minimum, one representative of every single station and shift that responded that day, you should have told those VIPs – yes, even Obama himself – to go pound sand.
So go sodomize yourself with a rusty chainsaw, Bloomberg.

|Journalist, author
|United States
Charlie LeDuff is a Pulitzer Prize winning American journalist, writer, and media personality who left The Detroit News in October 2010 after two years and joined Detroit Fox affiliate WJBK Ch. 2 to do on-air journalism.[1]
LeDuff is of Louisiana Creole and Ojibway descent, and was born in Portsmouth, Virginia.[2] His parents' marriage ended in divorce, and he has a deceased sister and stepbrother. His father served in the U.S. Navy. LeDuff has four surviving siblings. He has lived in many cities around the country and the world. Before joining The New York Times, LeDuff worked as a schoolteacher and carpenter in Michigan and a cannery hand in Alaska. He has also worked as a baker in Denmark.
LeDuff currently lives with his wife in Pleasant Ridge, Michigan, a northern suburb of Detroit. He considers himself a political independent, and is a practicing Roman Catholic. LeDuff is also a member of the Sault Ste. Marie Chippewa tribe of Michigan.[3]
LeDuff's stated writing influences include the books Hop On Pop, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Grapes of Wrath, Treasure Island, and writers Mickey Spillane, Raymond Carver, Joseph Mitchell, Ernest Hemingway, Dorothy Parker, and Raymond Chandler.[2] Among writers in the newspaper business who influenced him, LeDuff lists Mike Royko, Jimmy Breslin, and Pete Hamill.
LeDuff was hired by the New York Times on a ten week minority scholarship.[2] He was a staff reporter at The Times from 1995 to 2007, ending his tenure as a member of the Los Angeles bureau. LeDuff, who had been on paternity leave, quit The Times to pursue the promotion of his second book, US Guys, according to a memorandum from Suzanne Daley, the national editor. The next day LeDuff said his rationale for leaving was more complicated, noting that he made an appointment with Arthur Sulzberger Jr., the publisher and chairman of The Times, to say he would be leaving because, "I can't write the things I want to say. I want to talk about race, I want to talk about class. I want to talk about the things we should be talking about."
Of his professional career in newspapers, LeDuff states:
"I'm not a journalist, I'm a reporter. The difference between a reporter and a journalist is that a journalist can type without looking. The problem with journalism is its self-importance. Like in the New York Times, there's style, guides; you can't call a doctor a physician, you got to call him a doctor- too high falutin'. You can't call an undertaker a mortician- too high falutin'; you got to call him an undertaker. You can't call a lawyer an attorney, you have to call him a lawyer. But somehow, since we control it, and we're very self-important people, you can call a reporter a journalist." [2]
LeDuff is best known for his contributions to the 2001 Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times series How Race Is Lived in America, and has also received a Meyer Berger Award for distinguished writing about New York City.
From August to November 2006, LeDuff wrote an eight-part series, American Album, whose topics included "a Latina from the rough side of Dallas" who "works the lobster shift at a Burger King," a Minuteman and an Alaska national guardsman believed to be the first Inuit, or Eskimo, killed because of the Iraq war. LeDuff has covered the war in Iraq, crossed the border with Mexican migrants, and chronicled a Brooklyn fire house in the aftermath of 9/11.
LeDuff has been accused of plagiarism and inaccurate quotations, to which he has responded.
A 1995 article[which?] for The East Bay Monthly was examined by Modern Luxury's San Francisco publication in a February 2004 article titled "Charlie Duff's Bay Area Secret" following suggestions that LeDuff had plagiarized elements of Ted Conover's book, Rolling Nowhere: Riding the Rails With America's Hoboes.[4][dead link][better source needed]
A January 18, 2003 article for the New York Times entitled "As an American Armada Leaves San Diego, Tears Are the Rule of the Day" was accused of featuring inaccurate quotations and depictions of two of the ten subjects interviewed, according to an article published in September 2003 by Marvin Olasky in the evangelical WORLD magazine. According to Olasky, Lieutenant Commander Beidler, a subject profiled with his wife in the man-on-the-street piece, recalled saying something else to LeDuff and believed the quotes and depictions of himself and his wife used were inaccurate and fabricated by Mr. LeDuff.[5] According to Olasky, Times senior editor Bill Borders wrote to Mr. Beidler, saying that he had "thoroughly looked into your complaint" and concluding "[Mr. LeDuff] thinks that he accurately represented his interview with you and your wife, and therefore so do I." [5]
A December 8, 2003 article for the New York Times entitled "Los Angeles by Kayak: Vistas of Concrete Banks" was accused of drawing from Blake Gumprecht's 1999 book The Los Angeles River: Its Life, Death, and Possible Rebirth. One week later, on December 15, 2003, the New York Times appended an Editors' Note:
An article last Monday about the Los Angeles River recounted its history and described the reporter's trip downriver in a kayak. In research for the article, the reporter consulted a 1999 book by Blake Gumprecht, "The Los Angeles River: Its Life, Death, and Possible Rebirth." Several passages relating facts and lore about the river distilled passages from the book. Although the facts in those passages were confirmed independently—through other sources or the reporter's first hand observation—the article should have acknowledged the significant contribution of Mr. Gumprecht's research.
The clarification was later discussed by Slate and political commentator Michelle Malkin.[6][7]
A January 28, 2009 story for The Detroit News entitled "Frozen in indifference: Life goes on around body found in vacant warehouse" was examined by the Detroit Metro Times who pointed out some minor inconsistencies and confusion in the timeline of the events.[8] The Detroit Free Press also noted inconsistencies with LeDuff's portrayal of the police response and quotations LeDuff attributed to a police dispatcher.[9][dead link]
LeDuff discussed various accusations made against his reporting in a March 11, 2008 interview with essayist Dan Schneider.[10]
To set the record straight… If you make mistakes, you apologize. When I was at grad school, I was working on a documentary and I was also contracted to write a long, six thousand word piece… I borrowed some thoughts from a guy's book… Not incidents, none of that, sort of light stuff… I made a mistake as a student and I apologized for it.
Later on, at the New York Times, it was post-Jason Blair…like a witch hunt. Everybody wanted to get everybody that worked there and I wasn't really accused of plagiarism, but what I did was did not attribute some facts that I distilled from a book about the Los Angeles River which I kayaked, and all this went round and round and all of a sudden I was a fraud, I was a cheat, I was a minority who didn't do his work, who got a break because of his background and it isn't true...
All I've ever tried to do in life is tell the truth, work hard, document the undocumented. I've crossed the border with Mexicans, man, I worked in a slaughterhouse, I do what it takes, I don't cheat… My problem with the Right Wing and the Left Wing… is they got so many facts wrong… the journalistic sin is: you write something about somebody, you man up, and you call them. So the facts are wrong… A commissioned officer in the Navy accused me of misquoting him, I don't think I did. If I did, I apologized about it. You write a thousand, two thousand stories, it's gonna happen.
I don't fake quotes, I don't fake stories, I don't fake anything, man. I work hard… This is how I get people to talk to me, because I don't lie about who I am, I don't hang around the edges, I don't mischaracterize myself for the business at hand. I'm straightforward and I'm trying to be a standup guy.
LeDuff is the author of three books: US Guys: The True and Twisted Mind of the American Man, Work and Other Sins, and Detroit: An American Autopsy.
The preface of US Guys includes this quote on Leduff's view of the American male:
- The American man has been taught that while it is better to avoid a fight; that honor cannot always be defended with reason. He should never admit fear. He should always strive to put the blade in his adversary's chest, not his back. An American man should know how to load and fire a gun. He should know how to ride a horse, bet on a horse, bet on the stock market, and bet on the cards. A good man should know a woman's body and know how to please her. His woman, in turn, should never speak anything but well of him in public. An American man should have been raised in the church, rejected the church and eventually found virtue in the church.
- The American man should be educated. He should work. He should honor his debts and live within his means. He should be able to recite poetry and have bits of true philosophy at his fingertips. He should be able to play an instrument and know how to help a rose grow. An American man should know how to dress and speak his language well. He should be handy and mechanically inclined and yet his nails must be clean. A man should have children, and at some point his children should reject him. And in the course of his life, a man's children should return and find virtue in him.
- This is what an American man should be. Of course, no such man has ever existed, and no man probably ever will.
LeDuff worked on an experimental project for The Times with the Discovery Channel and produced a show called Only in America, which featured participatory journalism where LeDuff played on a semi-professional football team, raced with thoroughbreds, performed in a gay rodeo, joined the circus, preached in Appalachia, joined the elite world of New York models and played one play on special teams for the af2 football club, the Amarillo Dusters.
On July 14, 2006, LeDuff starred in and narrated a documentary on the British channel, BBC Four, called United Gates of America in which he experienced life with the mostly-white, Christian, and middle-class citizens of a gated community Canyon Lake in Riverside County, California.
As of December 2, 2010, LeDuff is a reporter for WJBK-TV, the Fox affiliate in Detroit, Michigan.

Soy Candles and Room Sprays
Posted by Deborah Ward on April 23rd, 2013 in candle making supplies, cold process soap, cosmetic clays, cosmetic supplies, Fragrance Oils, Natures Garden, soy candles, soy wax | Comments Off
What's your name & Your Company Name: My name is Noelle Walters Davis and my company is Suffield Suds, Scents & Sundries
Why did you decide to go into business? What was your motivation? How long have you been in business? I began making candles about 10 years ago. Originally I started making candles for my own use because I was fed up with the lack of quality candles on the market. What was available from the big box stores either turned my walls black with soot, or had no scent throw after they were lit. I have always been deeply involved in the handcrafted movement and candle making quickly became a passion. After reading everything that I could get my hands and lots of trial and error, I've developed my own all natural wax blend and use only the finest fragrances available (especially from Natures Garden!)
What products do you make and sell? In addition to soy candles, wax buttons, and room sprays, I also offer cold processed soap, handspun yarns, and hand woven textiles. Everything handmade by me!
What are your business goals? My dream business goal would be to quit my day job and focus on my business full-time. My husband is a great support and we have a five year plan where (fingers crossed!) that will hopefully come true. I would love to open my own little candle shop and feature works from other artisans as well.
What are some products you use from Natures Garden; what are your favorite products from Natures Garden? My number one favorite product from Natures Garden is the fragrance oils of course! I have been purchasing them for years and have never been disappointed. Cold processed soap is also a passion of mine and I love the variety of clays, additives, butters, and oils Natures Garden offers. Soap making allows me to get really creative, and the selection they offer encourages me to be really imaginative!

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) released the following statement in response to the news that the Obama Administration intends to go around Congress to pursue a new international climate change agreement: "For someone who lectures so much about income inequality, it's the height of hypocrisy that the President is pursuing climate pacts that will increase poverty and put more Americans out of work. Once again, the President is trying to go around Congress and ignore Americans who cannot afford more expensive, extreme energy regulations. It's time for the President to finally listen to Americans who are completely opposed to job crushing international climate agreements in any form." ### Read More

*New Artist* D-Man – Back To The Future: Return To The Past (Mixtape)
Download Here
Ok ok ok, I know I know, you're already like "man that cover is cheesy" but here me out on this one. D-Man, hailing from Massachusetts, is really an MC worth checking out. I was surprised when D hit me up on Twitter tooting his own horn about this mixtape. First off, I get a ton of artists hitting me up via Twitter, Email etc that all claim that "I won't be let down" by their mixtape. My first reaction is almost always "Yes I will" then I quickly get back to checking my emails (I know I'm an asshole). For some reason, maybe due to D-Man's relentlessness, I went ahead and download "Back To The Future". Pleasantly surprised!
This mixtape is a little more lengthy then I like, especially from new artists, but the guy has a flow that really switches up and keeps things interesting. I'm not gonna say that the whole mixtape is bangin' but I will say that a few tracks (about 7) really stick out to me (a high number in the mixtape game). I've included "In The Zone" and "An Average Day" below that are a few of my favorites. One thing I have to say about the guy is that he has the lyrics and flow to really last in this game, I just hope he doesn't continue to do the typical "rap over beats already rapped over" mixtapes. If he strays away from doing those and keep the tracklist down to a max of maybe 15, with all original production, I think we will have an MC that really shines in his own light. With all that said, this is definitely a mixtape you should download. If you're still up against the wall, go ahead and listen to the two tracks below, you won't be disappointed. There are more bangaz like these on the mixtape.

Danny "D-Man" Goncalves, is one of the best rising stars of the new up and coming class of MC's in both the Massachusetts area and beyond. Born in Dorchester, Boston, but raised in Brockton MA, D-Man lived through situations that would break most people. "My pops was murdered when I was 14, thoughout my childhood I was poor and livin in the ghetto on almost every government program, my mom dukes had cancer, we got kicked out of our home, all my boys were gettin' killed or locked up...it was a crazy enviroment, but instead of succumbin' to it, I picked up my pen & pad and started WRITING about it..." So through all the trials and tribulations of his life grew his passion for rapping. "I started rappin' when I was 10. I was always that lil' shorty rappin' for his boys, or rappin' for the older people, hell I was battlin' people twice my age and givin' them the business!" says D-Man. With his gift florishing incredibly, he began to feel restricted by using only the instrumentals he would find on the Internet and on beat tapes, so he decided to make his own. "I started producing when I was 13 and man I was TERRIBLE!!! So bad, but I never stopped practicing and each day I got a lil' better to the point where I am today." Today he is both an established MC and producer, producing hits for many local artists and a few known talents across the country, but he always claims he is a "rapper 1st, rapper 2nd & producer 3rd".

Just downloaded the mixtape and WTF?!!!! How could you say you didn't think this whole mixtape was a banger?! THIS IS CRAZY!!! One of the best mixtapes I've heard in a WHIIIIIILE!

I aint say it was terrible bruh. I just said the whole thing aint a complete play-through. I agree though, can't wait to hear more from D-Man in the future, his flow is crazy.Steve P. ----- Reply: June 16th, 2010 at 6:47 pm

Wow, this mixtape is incredible. You're right, he does have the flow and he certainly has the lyrics to last in this game. His lyrics are incredible with many double sometimes even triple meanings! He reminds me A LOT of Lupe Fiasco and thats saying something because I thought that Lupe was hands down the best lyricist out and no one would be able to touch him...he might have some competition w/ this dude SALUTE!

All That Glitters...Isn't Always Stylish
Stay away from glitter gels in bright colors. After applying an eye primer, go for a neutral shade of a loose powder that you can dust over your complete eye. Remember to choose something with small flecks of glitter. You don't need to apply additional color to your full eye, but you can apply a darker shadow to the crease of your eye.
Red lips are OK
One of the best parts of the holiday season? The freedom to experiment with bright shades of lipstick. But don't go crazy. You still must remember some guidelines.
For starters, if you're wearing bright red lipstick, "you're not going to use very much blush at all," Braswell said. Generally, you want to pair a red lip with a pink blush and vice versa. You don't want your lip color to match your cheek color.
Also, stay away from glittery lip glosses. "It's really easy to look like you're at the skate center," Braswell said. Translation: In a sea of adult party goers, you'll look like a Justin Bieber fan.
Then, of course, there's the fear of leaving traces of your lipstick whenever you embrace your fellow party guests. To avoid this problem, don't put gloss over a matte lipstick. Another technique? Put liner over the entire lip, dust loose powder over the area and then apply lipstick.

BeautyBar.com, the prestige arm of Soap.com under parent company Quidsi, has recently given consumers another way to explore the beauty products they love with the opening of a brick and mortar boutique.
This new flagship, located at the Americana Manhasset in Manhasset, New York, provides a carefully-curated assortment of domestic and international brands available on the website, as well as in-store salon treatments, makeup artistry and a blow dry bar to enhance the shopping experience.
"The new store caters to consumers who are looking for more selective, hard-to-find brands like Natura Bissé and REN, while still in need of the tried and true essentials," said Katina Mountanos, site director for BeautyBar.com. "The store will also offer the most premium fragrance brands from Bond No. 9 New York to Annick Goutal, and will constantly update to feature industry newness."
The store's design element includes an apothecary-type feel with built-in wooden shelves and lots of white space and bright light.
"It was important that we create the brick and mortar equivalent of a website-based company," said Mountanos. "Makeup is highlighted in the center of the store, with brands like Smashbox, Sisley-Paris and Deborah Lippmann, and the surrounding walls feature skin care, fragrance, hair care, men's grooming and personal care brands like Go SMiLE."
Five employees will be on staff at all times, including a licensed esthetician for facial and waxing services in the treatment room, and professionally-trained makeup artists. Beauty Bar has partnered with "Long Island favorite," nuBest Salon, to offer blow outs and styling to shoppers.
"NuBest is a perfect match for the Beauty Bar boutique and really takes the store to another level," said Mountanos. "The partnership gave us a great opportunity to get involved with the 'dry bar' trend."
BeautyBar is now tackling the challenge of how to market their digital company in traditional media. In collaboration with advertising agency Tribal DDB, Beauty Bar created a way for consumers to discover and shop "of-the-moment looks" through the touch of a smartphone.
"The new BeautyBar.com print advertisement, featuring a model wearing this season's looks, is highly interactive and shows flexibility

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
There is a manky 4-bolt climb between Timeless and Gully Washer. It almost seems like a half-finished route. The first bolt is about 20 feet off the deck, but the first 3 bolts are all within like 8 feet of each other... then another run-out through dirty rock leads to the final bolt which is followed by a sharp traverse left to the Timeless anchors. This is just terrible. We got on this route initially thinking it was Gully Washer (as it's currently the first route to the right of Timeless). Boy, what a mistake. Avoid this route! Is it a joke? Is it half finished?
This lies between Timeless and Gully Washer.
4 bolts to the Timeless 2-bolt anchor. Note the sketchy bolt placement.

Happy Monday, Steeler Nation. I'm trying to get some advice from the collective knowledge and experience of this group. My brothers, some cousins and I (about 8 people total) have decided to rent an RV and roadtrip from Charlotte, NC to Nashville, TN for the Steelers-Titans game in Week 2. This will be my first-ever regular season Steelers game, and I am pumped beyond belief. Before I get to my questions, a disclaimer: don't even try to talk us out of the RV idea, as impractical as it may sound to some. We are freakin' doing it, because it will be awesome!
Now, a couple logistical questions:
- Obviously, we all want to sit together at the game. However, I have been told that there is a cap of 2 tickets per person, per transaction if you buy through the Steelers. I have also heard that it's hard to get tickets, period. What ticket-purchase strategy would give us the best chance of sitting together for the most reasonable price?
- For those who have done the whole RV thing before: any advice on parking, tailgating, etc.? Anything we should be aware of that we might not have otherwise considered?
Thanks for any advice, experiences or warnings you all are willing to share to help make this the best trip ever.

Penn State and Nebraska Teams Pray Together For Child Sex Abuse Victims
There was a touching scene before Saturday's Penn State-Nebraska football game when all the players and coaches from both teams joined in the middle of the field to say a prayer for the victims in the emerging child sex abuse scandal that has rocked the nation (video follows with commentary):
May G-d bless all the victims and families taken advantage of by members of the Penn State University faculty and donors, and let there be swift justice for those that were involved in these heinous acts as well as for anyone that assisted in covering them up all these years.

"Do it for the victims and JoePa" meaning PSU beat Nebraska. These kids don't get it. The victims could surely care less how a football team does, especially one whose coach didn't report their rapist to the police. And that is the problem with this whole thing.

a PRAYER!!!
Child abuse is one thing (who knows maybe the children were members of NAMBLA) but for the school to expose young children to religious expression at a football game is a more serious form of child abuse.
The ACLU's trigger finger must be quivering like the last leaf to fall from a maple tree. A prayer! In public! Exposing a whole stadium to religious expression! There must be hundreds who felt 'uncomfortable' and need to be compensated.

Pride, Compassion and Humility.
Submitted by djwolf12 on Sat, 11/12/2011 - 6:30pm.
I think most of the country watched this moment on their tv sets today with feelings of shock, anger, and extreme sadness. Watching this event unfold showed that yes, the football teams and the PSU students have compassion for the victims of those horrible, horrible crimes. What we saw on that campus today, with the help of the Nebraska football team was to help start the healing process. It is unfortunate that this current group of players will be the ones to bear the brunt of the scandal even though Satan himself walks free on bail around State College. Given the circumstances, we saw everything that is right with humanity, and let us never forget the victims of those heinous crimes committed against innocent and helpless children.

bob, it's not a matter of "we're not allowed" to say it. Jews do not write the name of God out of respect for its majesty. I don't know if Noel is Jewish, or if that is his own personal tradition for other reasons, but using G-d is a religious tradition, not one of political correctness.

I hadn't known that about Jews- and I've got a contingent in my gene pool- nor had I seen it written that way here. Twice on this thread, in fact. That's why I asked. Thanks for the explanation. Also, I wasn't trying to be inflammatory with the question in the event it came off that way; I was just curious if I had missed a recent change to NB protocol.

The name of God in hebrew is YHVH. There are no vowels in hebrew and jews do not say God's name out of their reverence for Him. The pronounciation is lost and no one really knows how to pronounce it anymore. God is usually referred to as The Lord by the jews.
Jesus referred to God as his father, The word He used is properly translated as "daddy" and that's why the jews accused Him of blasphemy.
Jesus Loves You so much He died for you

Resignation warranted if Mayor Filner is guilty of sexual harassment; accusers must come forward
Though Bob Filner did not receive La Jolla Light's endorsement for Mayor of San Diego, the Light has since enthusiastically reported on his decisive actions to clean up the long-standing La Jolla Cove stench. While other city officials stood around complaining and wringing their hands, Mayor Filner did what no one else was able to do for the residents of La Jolla. For such leadership, we thank him wholeheartedly.
However, in the next breath, we watch him become embroiled in political, legal and sexual scandals with allegations ill fitting anyone, let alone a person elected to serve in public office.
As we try to get information from his staff these days, we encounter resignations at City Hall and much uncertainty. We're frustrated when we recall Mayor Filner's campaign promise for transparency in public office.
This said, the Light stands behind the Mayor's right to due process of law. We understand the victims' hesitation to come forward, but strongly encourage them to do so. The Sixth Amendment guarantees the accused the right to be confronted with the witnesses against them — not their friends, nor lawyers.
The citizens of San Diego need to hear from these women so we can judge for ourselves. The accusations describe outrageous behavior that goes far beyond the description of sexual harassment, and if true, then Mayor Filner has replaced the old stench with a new one and should resign from office.

There is such a thing as "too thin" you know...
I have a GS3. It's too thin. It's too thin to feel good in my hand, too thin to have a rounded (palm fitting) back, and most importantly to me, have a giant battery. If it was 1.5 or even 2 mm thicker, the battery could have easily been 3000mah like the note's, and it would have been nicer to hold.
Unfortunately, Samsung is going to make the same mistake again on March 14th, when they show the world that the S4 is EVEN thinner.
That said, I probably still will buy one, because I'm sure they would have figured out how to improve battery efficiency with whatever processor it ends up having, fit a bigger battery, and since the back is removable, I can get a larger, thicker, third party battery if I want.
I just wish they cared more about "It fits your hand better" instead of "LOOK! ITS THINNER THAN THE IPHONE!" because that is not necessarily a good thing. I think HTC has the right idea with the One, but obviously at the cost of switching the battery and adding cheaper memory. Phones need to become a litter thicker and rounder again. For palm's sake.

Fourteen women counselors from SCORE chapters across the country gave a weekend of their time to advise members of the eWomen Network conference in Dallas, TX on July 12. Here are a few images of the volunteers in action, helping other women entrepreneurs from around the US.
How can we reach out to the women in your community?
