No Democratic president will leave Iraq.
to be honest, though, I think "conditional engagement" make smore sense than total withdrawal. The blood cost of total withdrawal is too high.

Oh, and Obama sucks! Hillary sucks! I'm voting for McCain if Hillary/Obama gets the nomination! There, that should suffice to get this on the rec list.
I don't really see a draw. I don't think Clinton should resign; she does have a path (a valid one, too) to the nomination, hinging on persuading the superdelegates and swinging the Credentials committee in her favor. However, by all metrics Obama is leading and Clinton's chances are a genuine longshot. Yes she can win, but a longshot does not equal a draw.
As far as veep goes, Obama would be a great veep for Hillary, but the reverse is not really true. I think Richardson complements Obama far more effectively, helps make a play for the Latino swing vote, and also is a strategic play in the border states and mountain west. With a Obama Richardson ticket, theres a real possibility of a map-changing election.
is one in which you stick to arguments about the issue. Not snipe at others for their secret motivations.
J, I will admit I am biased. But I genuinely think that we cant move forward through a closed door. Obama has opened that door. Now do we go forward or not?
Addendum - Larison observes,
That elite conservatives could turn on Obama with guns blazing in their phony p.c.-driven rage was the perfect arrangement for them: they could express disapproval of the media darling because he had made a very un-p.c. blunder, making it possible for them to pose as the champions of the kind of "liberal intolerance" they might have decried a decade or two earlier.
Meanwhile, middle- and working-class white (and probably other) audiences heard this, remembered the anti-racist catechisms they had been taught for as long as they could remember and understood that the proper, approved reaction was to shake their heads and boo. McWhorter makes a similar observation. Now that anti-racism has captured the minds of so many of these people, now that the conditioning has had its intended effect, observers sympathetic to Obama are dismayed that Obama's nuanced effort to explain (or, as the critics have it, explain away) racially-charged and potentially racialist rhetoric fell on deaf ears. Yet this shouldn't surprise anyone-if the speech fell on deaf ears, it was the elites who deafened them years before with a single, simple imperative: "Don't pay attention to race, except when we tell you to!"
I suppose I should cross post the above at Nation-Building.
I think it's wishful postmodernist thinking to pretend that there is no such thing as race. If anything that is a Republican argument used to desperately deny that the playing field remains non-level.
The truth is that race is a genuine concept and has always been in human history. Race is not "bad". Its just a source of variation within the human race, like height or musical ability or intelligence or strength. Its not purely genetic, either - race is also enmeshed at its boundaries with culture, and with language.
Before we can ever get to that state where race exists, but doesn't matter, we need to confront the fact that it exists. And be honest about what our attitudes are - and yes, all of us, white, black, asian, latino, etc DO have "typical" attitudes about everybody else. We need to confront them, be honest about them, and thus recognize them for the barriers they are rather than wish them away.
Obama does not, despite the stereotype, speak of or promise to transcend race. He promises to approach it realistically instead of in the pseudo cryptic way we all dance around in in politics. That is what made his speech on race so unique.
His goal was to explain his embrace of Wright, not repudiate it, because the latter would be buying into the cynical racial politics that have still not done a thing to heal us as a nation since the trauma of Jim Crow. If that means that everyone who is not ready to move forward with actual progress on race relations, instead preferring the cryptoracial dance that serves as status quo, becomes entrenched in opposition to Obama, then that is actually fine. And if Obama cant win without the support of the racial status quo, also fine. That means that we arent ready for change. But we will be.
I think that my compromise proposal makes more sense now - seat the delegates, but halve them, and assign the breakdown 55-45 clinton-obama.
looks like intent to vote for the nominee, irrespective of which candidate it is, is enough to get you troll-rated now.
Why am I not surprised that in a joke thread, some people still don't have a sense of humor?
I'm the coolest, because I blog about geek stuff. Geek is the new cool.
unfortunately, I intend to vote for either Hillary or Obama depending on who gets the nomination. So my coolness is wasted.
ok then!
heh. the campaign emailed advance copies of the speech to most major outlets.

I'm back guys. Time for my 3rd edition of "This day in Chelsea history", this time for the date of April 25. I'll go over a memorable moment from the day's date in Chelsea history. Here goes for today.
Chelsea beat Liverpool 1-0 in 1st leg of UEFA Champions League Semi Final - April 25, 2007
Mourinho's Chelsea was on pace for a treble in 2005. They were a buzzsaw. Dominant. Defensively as rigid as could be. Had perhaps the best goalkeeper, defender, and midfielder in the world. They were expected to move past Liverpool. Liverpool held out though and Chelsea could not break through in the 1st leg. It finished 0-0. Then the "ghost goal". Luis Garcia's questionable "goal". Did it or did it not cross the line? The referee said it did. Liverpool held on the rest of the way and advanced 1-0.
Chelsea would win the EPL again the next season and going into the Semifinal was also on pace for a Cup Treble. Emotions were running high. Rafa Benitez and Liverpool often had had the better of Jose Mourinho and Chelsea. Chelsea knew they needed a good start. They were the better team but Liverpool's European record was unquestioned. Chelsea got their quick start as Joe Cole put them ahead on the edge of the hour mark. Chelsea weren't able to find another goal but left The Bridge with the desired result. A victory. 1-0. In the end it was in vain. Liverpool struck early in the 2nd leg with Daniel Agger. An even affair played out the rest of the way and the game headed to penalties. Liverpool struck first with Bolo Zenden. Arjen Robben's penalty was saved by Pepe Reina. Xabi Alonso cooly converted his and so did Frank Lampard. Cech couldn't keep out Gerrard and then Geremi missed as well meaning Liverpool had a penalty to go to the Champions League Final. And Dirk Kuyt took it. Liverpool through 4-1 on penalties. They would go on to lose the final to Milan 2-1. Chelsea got their revenge the next year before losing on penalties in Moscow to Man United. Penalties finally went our way vs Bayern though last May.
Hope you have enjoyed so far and enjoy this post (even though the Blues lost) and I'll be posting once more tomorrow.

Senate rejects Corbett budget
- Written by Philadelphia Tribune Editorial
- Published in Featured Commentary
Gov. Tom Corbett's state budget plan is now out of step with his own party.
State Senate Republican leaders are pushing a plan to restore some of the funding for colleges, public schools and social services that were deeply cut under the state budget proposed by the Republican governor. The state House now has the Senate's budget plan.
The Senate GOP plan would restore more than $240 million to the governor's proposed cuts to public colleges. Their budget proposal would maintain funding for all state-owned, state-related and community colleges at current levels.
In addition to colleges, financially distressed school districts could also benefit in the Senate plan. The plan will contain about $50 million for the state's severely cash-strapped school districts.
The Senate plan would also provide $84 million more than the governor has proposed for state block grants to counties for social service programs.
Senate Republican leaders said the changes are possible because of better than expected state tax collections in the past three months and expected savings in pension and debt-services costs.
Yet the governor is standing by his deep cuts in education and social service programs.
In a speech to a Harrisburg-area business group, the governor said the state's bills must be paid before he will consider rolling back the cuts he has proposed. He said the money is also needed to defray rising pension costs.
Republicans who control the state Senate approved an alternative spending plan Wednesday that would avoid many of the cuts Corbett proposes.
Under the $27.7 billion Senate plan, Pennsylvania's universities, public schools, hospital, nursing homes and people who depend on county-run social services would benefit.
The Senate GOP plan falls short of restoring the adequate funding needed for education, the disabled and other social services, but it is better than the budget proposed by Corbett.

As if Sports Center wasn't tough enough to watch in summertime when all sports are over accept Baseball, Golf, Tennis, Racing and Professional Underwater Basket Weaving (completely made that up.) Now it's just flat out painful because you often get the sense that there will be football but the quality will be effected... and of course I'm convinced that there will be no basketball this fall. I tried to think of what labor situation was more frustrating to hear about. The NFL or The NBA.
We've talked about the NFL about a thousand times over the last 100 and some odd days and I think we all get the main points that the owners and players are making. When your profiting 9.3 billion dollars a year; the average Joe would think it's much easier to divide up then it appears. I think the majority of us have also thought that we could probably sit down at a restaurant with Jeff Saturday and get it done on a cocktail napkin. At the end of the day; two parties worked together and the end result was a 9.3 billion dollar profit and if I think about it; I would want my fair piece just like everyone else would. I'm a salesman and if I were to make a ton of money for my company and I wasn't properly compensated for it, I would be pissed.
I guess to sum it all up; I'm on both peoples side and I'm not on either side if that makes any sense what so ever.
The NBA is a different story. I am 100% on the owners side in virtually every aspect. 22 of 30 teams lost money last year. Any idea why? Because they are the 22 teams that don't matter. I'm a diehard Pistons fan just like I am a Die Hard Lions fan and the only difference between the two is that I care if the Lions play this year... and I seriously could care less if the NBA does or not.
When the NFL is in season, everything under the sun matters and it all gets talked about and the hype surrounding just one single game is incredible. The hype surrounding multiple games between Superbowl contenders is even more in incredible. My Sunday ritual usually consists of watching the Lions at 1pm then flipping over to the Redzone channel because it's the easiest way to watch all the games at once. Then the Sunday night game after I get a quick nap in. That a Great Day!
However in the NBA last year... I can't recall one game that stuck out to me as intriguing. You know why? Because the only things that were talked about last year is whether or not the Nugget's are going to grant that piece of $*** Carmello's Anthony's request to trade him to New York. And if they didn't trade him, you could guarantee that he will be leaving anyway. This guy didn't just say "Trade Me." He said "Trade me to the Knicks." That in a nutshell is what the NBA is. Players having the ability to hold their teams ransom for an entire year... even two years now! It makes me sick to my stomach when I hear Piston's fan's complain about how we could have drafted him. Oh and there was LeBron too... don't even get me started.
I know this is POD and were supposed to talk about football related stuff but let's be honest with each other. There's nothing to talk about right now, and I think it's safe to say that fans in general should be pretty frustrated by now considering The Greed of 2 Leagues has produced 2 Lockouts in 1 summer.
For the NFL... A deal getting done will feel like Christmas morning to me. Because the Lions are about 2-3 FA's signings away from being the team that we have been hoping for since as long as I can remember.
For the NBA... Stay locked out and set a record for all I care because unless you are New York, Miami, Los Angeles or Chicago; it just doesn't really matter.

Today at noon North Dakota and Minnesota U.S. House and Senate members gathered with a special guest: the United States Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack.
They came to Moorhead to detail how millions of dollars of farm bill money will be used fight flooding.
"Today we announce the development and the establishment of a $50 million resource from NRCS, National Conservation Resource Service that will be made available specifically for the Red River Valley," says Vilsack.
The funds will be used for water retention projects-- projects like dry-dams, levies and some farmers temporarily holding water on the land. These projects are aimed at areas upstream.
"This just isn't a sustainable situation and given the great potential in what we see already in farming in this area, we want to keep this area strong," says U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN).
Projects are being planned for both sides of the river and they will not only minimize flooding but also improve soil health, water quality and wildlife habitat.
"If we could spend this money ahead of time, we could save everybody a lot of grief and we could actually save taxpayers money," says U.S. House Representative Collin Peterson (D-MN).
Senator Hoeven says these funds will work with the Fargo-Moorhead Diversion plans.
"We all need to work together to bring those projects forward, get them approved, get them funded, get them constructed so you have comprehensive flood protection for the region," says Hoeven (R-ND).
Congressional delegation members say a lot of the ground work is done. They also say the funding is in place to get them started. Congressman Peterson says there will be meetings in both states in the coming weeks to talk about the first projects.

Best (Mixtapes) I Ever Had3:13 Apr 28th, 2013 | 0 notes
So, as promised, here are my next 3 best Hip-Hop mixtapes of the late noughties.
18. MeLo-X - More Merch (2010)
'More Merch' was MeLo-X's 5th mixtape as a vocalist/rapper, and, in my view, his best to date. He showcases a great deal of creativity and skill in crafting different sounds, building on his chillwave/trip-hop/neo-soul sound from 'Audio Foreplay'.
This tape holds a spot at number 17 for it's coherent sound as a mixtape - from track to track the vibe is consistent, taking the listener on a journey. Again, I feel it could definitely have been sold as an EP in iTunes in the very least, if MeLo really wanted to. But it certainly works beautifully as a mixtape.
MeLo-X also covers, remixes and mashes up songs by Quadron, Jade and Erykah Badu to name but a few, spitting a few of his own verses over them and adding his own musical arrangements, making them his own. His 'Indie Hip-Hop' style of music is unique to him, and a sound I haven't heard outside of the UK Bass scene. It is exciting to hear this kind of experimenting with genres and as MeLo makes more and more music, I find his signature sound develops a genre of its own.
17. The Weeknd - Thursday [as part of the Trilogy] (2011)
At this point, feel free to substitute 'Thursday' with either of the other two mixtapes (Echoes of Silence and House of Balloons) he released at this time - 'Thursday' happens to be the first one of his I heard for a while, so my impression of his sound is biased towards it.
The reason why The Weeknd is here, is, again, because of the uniqueness of his sound. All of his songs sound somewhat dazed and 'under the influence' (some call it 'dark wave'), and combined with his lamenting vocals, they prove for quite an experience. It's almost as if The Weeknd passes you a cup of 'sizzerp' himself at the start of track 1.
Many people have said different things about The Weeknd's voice, be it 'lamenting', 'cry-wanking', 'the best musical talent since Michael Jackson' (I'll discredit that one because that is absolutely ridiculous I'm sorry. What makes it worse is that MTV's John Norris said it.)…. or that it's just 'inherently sexual' which I must say I agree with. Whether they like it or not, The Weeknd has grabbed people's attention. Definitely a set of mixtapes to have in your collection even if you only end up listening to it once (which is pretty unlikely).
(EDIT: Grooveshark is playing up, so it'll be Youtube links for a few posts)
16. Domo Genesis - Rolling Papers (2010)
When I first downloaded 'Rolling Papers' from the Odd Future website, I was skeptical about how good it would be, thinking Domo was just the crew's token stoner rapper. While I may not have been 100% wrong, I must admit that 'Rolling Papers' was somewhat of a dark horse. Domo Genesis doesn't pretend to be something he's not, and in using these relaxed and low-budget sounding beats, the mixtape holds a strange charm.
'Supermarket' and 'Rolling Papers' are both popular tracks from the tape, the former being a rap battle between Tyler, the Creator and Domo in a supermarket, the later being, obviously, the title track, with one of Tyler's better early beats.
My favourite on the tape is 'Drunk'. I first heard it playing in the background of one of the many clips Odd Future have of their antics over on YouTube. It's quintessentially them. It fits their strange, homemade, 'gang of crazy kids' style perfectly.
"Odd Future, I'll shoot ya, die slow"
Remember, there'll be more to come soon!
Best (Mixtapes) I Ever Had8:10 Apr 27th, 2013 | 0 notes
Well, it's been almost a year since I promised to do my Best (Mixtapes) Ever etc countdown, but better late than never! Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), in the time that's passed between me making my Honourable Mentions list and now, a bunch more awesome mixtapes have come out, and I've had more time to consider my list and re-discover some old greats. This means, although I'll still have a top 10, there's gonna be a top 21 too.
Without further ado, I present the bottom 3 (not as bad as it sounds, there IS some tough competition)
21. Odd Future - Radical (2010)
Odd Future got big around 2009-2010, and I remember the first time I saw Tyler, The Creator's 'Yonkers' video I rushed to download the entire Odd Future back catalogue. Some tapes shone brighter than others, but the one that best represented the whole crew was definitely 'Radical'.
This tape has tracks by Mike G, Earl Sweatshirt, Hodgy Beats etc, so basically the whole crew, and features raps over popular instrumentals like Gucci Mane's 'Lemonade' and Roscoe Dash's 'All The Way Turnt Up' - much like most of the more mainstream hip-hop mixtapes you'd find online at that time - but obviously done in Odd Future's own creepy style, with plenty of disturbing lines, and with some of the instrumentals pitched down (to sound weirder, no doubt). As Earl Sweatshirt brags "I know everyone has their f*cking version of this but.. no one did it justice"
As per usual, they seem to be poking fun at mainstream Hip-Hop, or accentuating their differences from the mainstream, in the very least - which is no bad thing. Being different works, especially for the Wolf Gang/Golf Wang/Flog Gnaw guys.
20. Mac Miller - K.I.D.S (2010)
Aside from looking like your average high-school 'lad' (or 'dude about town', whatever they call it over in America), Mac happens to be a very handy rapper. Starting with a sound that may not have been the most original, Mac has been putting out mixtapes (also an album) of consistent quality for the past 3-4 years, building a buzz around his name and honing his skills and sound. Some even had that coherent style that many music bloggers say Hip-Hop albums lack these days, because of a tendency to recruit multiple producers for one project. This does not seem to be a problem for Mac Miller, however.
K.I.D.S has a very chilled out and relaxed "Boom Bap rap" vibe, which Mac seems to have found works best with his voice and lyrical themes, and I'm not complaining. From beginning to end the beats stay "bumping" without being repetitive. It works. Maybe that's why Lord Finesse wanted to sue Mac Miller for royalties on one of the tracks.
(and of course the taster track is 'Good Evening'. I've used it in about 5 different mixes I recorded this year. Why not? :D)
19. J. Cole - The Warm Up (2009)
No real surprise here, J. Cole's 2nd official mixtape, one of his best, sits at number 19 of this list (maybe a little closer to the bottom than it should be, sorry man).
J. Cole is THE rap storyteller of the late noughties, with real life tales and relatable stories of personal struggle and ambition delivered over beats that pay homage to Hip-Hop greats such as Kanye West and Notorious B.I.G. The music on this tape is full of emotion, with all of that classic 2Pac and early Jay-Z ('Real Hip-Hop') sound, and none of the superficial 'bottle-poppin' music that has characterised mainstream Hip-Hop since the late 90s.
Though from here on out J. Cole's sound does get bigger and better, I feel it's important to mark out where exactly he began to make the music for "the big leagues", which is in my opinion, on this mixtape. Well worth the download. As with a lot of the top mixtapes on this list, I have listened to this one all the way through countless times, and I truly feel this could stand up as an EP if not an album.
And there you have it. More to come in a few days.
3:21 Mar 19th, 2013 | 0 notes
So Action Bronson retweeted the kid PokeyStix (meeee) and somebody replied suggesting this become a new mixtape title. If it does… you know…. it came from me hahaaaa
Joey Bada$$ - Wendy & Becky6:23 Feb 26th, 2013 | 0 notes
I rate this song loooooadsss simply because I rate Joey. He's the future. Boom.
Best (Mixtapes) I Ever Had - Honourable Mentions3:27 Sep 6th, 2012 | 1 note
I figured I'd get these out of the way first… the mixtapes that didn't make it on to the list for whatever reason, but are still pretty dope… go cop them if you're reading this. You'll notice that most of these mixtapes came out in 2009, or 2010. *shrug* Those two were good years for mixtapes this side of 2005. They were also when I got into downloading them :/… so, uh, yeah… there may be big gaps in my knowledge. But whatever.
YelaWolf - Trunk Muzik (2010)
Dude has a great sound, the beats are bassy and… banging (hate saying that but it's true), and it showcases his 'Bama life and style :}
And for those who actually think it's up for debate, dude is DEFINITELY better than MGK. Stupid.
Some proof…
You can download the mixtape here.
Azealia Banks - Fantasea (2012)
This one may have been a little obvious, but to those who have actually been listening past 212, Azealia is somewhat of a lyrical force to be reckoned with these days. Well, at least in terms of originality, and again, having a good sound. The 90s house feel that most of these beats have go great with her style, and though she does risk sounding a bit repetitive in places, I still have this bad boy on repeat.
Mixtape download's here.
Dom Kennedy - From the Westside With Love (2010)
For me this one was a grower, but after a while it earned it's place amongst my favourites. It's a very chilled out, crusin' around the neighbourhood on a hot day type of sound, and shows Dom cooling, being himself as he always does. No trap beats, no unnecessarily loud "buss-ya-shit-open beats"… and it makes it all the more loveable. Don't get me wrong though, some of these beats still grab your attention, but they have a kind of relaxed rock about them. I'm a bit too English to really explain it though, heheh.
And you can get that here.
MeLo-X - Audio Foreplay
Again, this one should be pretty obvious given how much I've gone on about it in earlier posts, but I figured I should at least include it somewhere, as people still aren't really giving MeLo-X the credit he deserves. Amazing sounds here, Hip-Hop + some UK Funky House (I mean the Donae'o, Crazy Cousinz type) + Dance + House + MeLo's own jumpy glitchy beat style. He covers/remixes songs, some instrumental, some with vocals, and they all have quite a lofi, spaced out edge to them. Genius.
Mixtape includes one remix of a cover of Drake's Houstatlantavegas. Beyond hot. (EDIT - Grooveshark doesn't have it. Clearly too hot.)
Download link for that tape is here.
Aaaand that's it for the honourable mentions. I'll do the countdown tomorrow.
The Best (Mixtapes) I Ever Had10:26 Sep 4th, 2012 | 1 note
I realise this blog has been pretty inactive.
That's cool. That's how life is sometimes. Sometimes it's not on Tumblr. Sometimes it's being outside and talking to people.
Buuut most of the time it's not *squeal* hahaaa
So, for the next few posts, I'll be doing a little countdown of the top ten mixtapes in Hip-Hop, in my opinion from the five or so years.

So I am going to get this recipe in right before the New Year. Right before New Year's resolutions take all of the fun out of eating. Which is exactly what they are going to do to me. (I have been ordered by a medical professional to remove gluten, dairy and eggs for the first 3 months of the year. Ugg! More on that later) I am giving myself until the New Year to listen to that so I am currently eating gluten, eggs and dairy with wild abandon. Bourbon coffee milkshakes is definitely on that list of things to eat before the New Year.
My most recent vice seems to be coffee ice cream. For some reason that is what I have been craving lately. In order to pacify that craving I decided to make homemade coffee ice cream. Coffee ice cream is one of those things that as a kid, that was the flavor that no one wanted. Coffee? Gross. I will take cookies-n-cream or even better garbage can ice cream but never coffee. 20 years later I still love ice cream. Give me ice cream over a cookie any day of the week, but my flavor choices have progressed a little. I especially love ice cream if there is booze mixed in. It is like the best of all worlds right? Humphry Slocombe here in SF has my all time favorite flavor, Secret Breakfast, which has cornflakes and whiskey. Oh yeah. Seriously good.
So I decided to take the coffee ice cream that I made and make a good ol' fashioned adult milkshake out of it. Creamy coffee ice cream, blended with my favorite bourbon, milk and ice. Topped with homemade chocolate sauce, it is the perfect marriage of ice cream and booze. It is the ideal treat to end the year with. I plan on drinking them all New Year's Eve day until 2014 tells me I can't drink dairy anymore.
You can most definitely use store bought coffee ice cream (or any flavor for that matter) and store bought chocolate sauce but here are the recipes I used just in case.
Happy almost New Years!
- 3 to 31/2 cups coffee ice cream, recipe below
- 11/2 cups whole milk
- 3 or 4 ice cubes
- 1/4 cup good-quality bourbon
- Simple Chocolate Syrup - recipe below
Place 3 cups of the ice cream, the milk, ice cubes, and bourbon in a blender and blend until smooth. A good milk shake should be eaten with a spoon—so if the milk shake seems too thin, add another 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice cream and blend again. Divide the shake evenly among the chilled glasses and top each with 1/2 tablespoon of chocolate syrup. Serve immediately.
- 6 egg yolks
- 1¾ cups heavy cream
- 2 cups whole milk
- ¾ cup sugar plus 2 tablespoons
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons instant espresso powder
- 1 tablespoon Bailey's Irish Cream
Put the egg yolks in a large heatproof bowl and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, stir together the heavy cream, milk, sugar, salt and instant espresso powder. Bring the mixture to a slow, consistent simmer (just this side of a boil) and remove from heat.
Whisk the egg yolks until just combined, then slowly stream in half of the hot coffee cream mixture while whisking constantly. Transfer the egg mixture back to the medium saucepan containing the other half of the coffee cream mixture. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the hack of a spoon (about 175 degrees on an instant-read thermometer).
Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Whisk in the Baileys, and let mixture cool to room temperature.
Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for 4 hours.
Pour into an ice cream machine and freeze, following the manufacturer's directions.
- 1/4 cup dark unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
In a large saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the cocoa powder and
1/2 cup of water until dissolved. Whisk in the sugar and increase the heat to medium-high. Boil the mixture for about 3 minutes, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the salt. Let cool to room temperature. The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator, tightly covered, for up to 3 weeks.

Are you finally getting nicer and warmer weather where you are??? Is it helping moods at your house after the long winter??
|Tue, 04-23-2013 - 1:44pm
Took Lizzie to a college on Saturday. Thought it would be a nice day and then a couple of days before a cold front came through.....the day of the college visit it was cold, windy.....and snowing. Nothing like walking around a campus with wind blowing through you and snow blowing on you!! Brrrr!!!! Was hoping for a nice warm day to visit. Of course it is warming up now!

We were hit by the floods. Our lower level was ruined. The state declared our area a disaster area. We are cleaning up and warm and dry weather would be welcome.
|Mon, 04-29-2013 - 11:10am
Oh no Ramona!!! So sorry to hear this! Hope that you are getting cleaned up and dry, and that all is now well. Hope that more rain stays away!

It is all ripped out now. Thanks. Waiting for some insurance money to rebuild.

Goodwill Industries of the Coastal Empire is defending its good name.
A national group says Goodwill is paying workers with disabilities less than minimum wage - in some cases - less than $1 per hour.
Goodwill is on the list of agencies with the certificate allowing them to pay sub-minimum wage.
But the organization said they don't. This all boils down to what disability advocates call a loophole in the Fair Standards Act left over from the 1930s. Agencies can apply for a certificate allowing them to pay workers - with disabilities - below the minimum wage.
The National Council on Disabilities and the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network said some wages are as low as 22 cents an hour in parts of the country. They want the certificate phased out as more agencies still apply for it.
"Regrettably, we are seeing entities like Goodwill and others exploit people with disabilities with the use of sub-minimum wage," said Ari Ne'Eman, president of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network and a supporter of the petition against Goodwill.
"But it depends on how they use the certificate. We use the certificate to be able to provide paid training," said Brenda Pollen, of Goodwill Industries of the Coastal Empire.
Pollen told WTOC that in Georgia, the four main Goodwill Industries united a long time ago to pay all employees minimum wage or higher.
Ne'eman admits that in Georgia, more than half of workers with disabilities are in integrated employment, moving away from sub-minimum wage, which he said is encouraging.
Goodwill of the Coastal Empire just wants the public to know that just because they have the certificate, it does not mean they would use it to exploit anyone.
"Goodwill is here to support. We would never - in any instance - offer to our individuals with disabilities or without - pay below minimum wage," Pollen said.
The petition, which condemns Goodwill nationally, on Change.org is now up to more than 150,000 signatures, calling on those Goodwill affiliates who do pay below minimum wage to change their ways.
Goodwill has thousands of employees nationwide with disabilities.
Goodwill of Coastal Empire is on the list along with several other agencies in the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry who have the certificate allowing the low, special minimum wage.

This is my second try at a coping sled. The first coping sled had a 1/4" base and would flex when I applied clamp pressure so this one uses a 1/2" Baltic birch base and does not flex when pressure is applied to the clamps. I designed the sled for 2 1/4" wide rails but they could be up to 5 1/2" wide. I turned the two handles from an old broken broom stick I had laying around and a few plywood scraps too. The clamps are from Harbor Freight and was the only cost. I use a 1 1/4" wide plywood sacrificial backer that is double stick taped on to easily replace it and I use a home made stop block to not route beyond the sacrificial backer. It works great. Last weekend I made two doors for a custom cabinet for a neighbor. Thanks.

Having that second handle allows you to have total control of the sled and keeps your hands at a safe distance from the spinning bit. It's now my second favorite jig and I plan to make a small storage cabinet with doors for the garage just so I can have an excuse to use it again. :)

text: 000 FXUS63 KEAX 291512 AFDEAX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 1012 AM CDT Fri Aug 29 2014 .UPDATE... Issued at 1012 AM CDT FRI AUG 29 2014 Quick update this morning to account for latest radar and satellite trends. Fairly potent upper-level wave inbound this morning as seen on latest water vapor imagery. Ahead of this feature...upper- level pressure along the 1.5 PVU surface showing a nice "treble clef" signature with latest RUC analysis showing the trop undulation down to almost 500-mb...not bad for this time of year! Pressure advection in advance of this feature combined with decent upper divergence aloft should continue to support organized shwrs and thunderstorms. As this feature continues sliding east this morning...expect a gradual increase in precip chances from west to east which should result in very beneficial rainfall for a good portion of the area. In general...QPF totals will likely range from a quarter to half inch...with localized higher amounts possible with thunderstorm activity. Pop/wx grids updated to reflect a slightly delayed arrival time...but overall fcst trends remain unchanged. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday) Issued at 326 AM CDT FRI AUG 29 2014 For today, areas of scattered thunderstorms will continue to develop along and ahead of an eastward-moving shortwave trough, resulting in slowly increasing chances of precipitation this morning into the evening across the CWA. The best chance of storms will spread from early afternoon across eastern KS and far western MO to late evening in central MO. Afternoon temperatures will be held down by clouds and precipitation, keeping highs mainly in the 80s and the highest readings in central MO where storms will be later to arrive. Not much instability is expected to develop today with clouds arriving early and temperatures aloft and no real significant temperature perturbation along the trough to increase lapse rates, so do not expect much of a strong/severe storm threat this afternoon or this evening. However, if areas of central MO see a few peeks of sun through early afternoon, an isolated more robust storm could develop and could produce briefly gusty winds. Precipitation will generally clear out from northwest to southeast on Friday night, but may linger into Saturday across portions of central MO as a second weak shortwave trough rides up over central MO, especially if the weak surface boundary associated with today`s shortwave trough can stall over the region and support convective initiation on Saturday. High temperatures should be several degrees warmer for Saturday and especially Sunday as skies clear, southerly surface flow returns, and 850 hPa temperatures remain in the 18 to 21 C range. The next round of thunderstorms is expected to be a bit more robust Sunday night into early Monday morning along a southeastward moving cold front. General model consensus brings the front through the CWA between midnight and 9 AM Monday morning, although timing could change a bit. MUCAPE values in the 1000-2000 J/kg range and bulk shear values as high as 40 kts could support organized, potentially strong multicell storms especially across northwest MO. Heavy rain is also a threat with PWATs climbing to around 2 inches and bulk shear vectors orienting parallel to the front to support training storms. The overall severe threat will depend on timing of frontal passage as storms should become elevated with time and instability will decrease, but is expected mainly across northwest and northern MO where upper-level forcing and flow is a bit stronger. .LONG TERM...(Monday through Thursday) Issued at 326 AM CDT FRI AUG 29 2014 A complex of showers and thunderstorms will likely be ongoing over portions of the forecast area Monday morning as a cold front settles into northwest Missouri. While not an optimal diurnal time for severe weather with only modest instability forecast, will need to monitor potential as dynamics from the large upper trough over the northern tier of the country will yield moderate shear in advance of the cold front. The upper trough will gradually deamplify, leaving the surface cold front largely stationary Monday into Tuesday across the northern half of the CWA. Periodic thunderstorm chances will remain possible through Tuesday night as the region remains on the southern periphery of strong upper dynamics and associated embedded shortwave troughs traversing the area. A few storms may be strong with moderate shear and instability, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. With the boundary layer winds expected to remain weak, the primary threat would be brief periods of damaging wind gusts and hail to quarter-size. Pinpointing the timing and specific locations of highest precipitation potential remains challenging at this stage with convective details that will play some role in frontal position and windows of strongest ascent both unresolved. The surface boundary is expected to retreat northward as a warm front by Wednesday as heights begin to rise across the region. Only a slight chance of thunderstorms is anticipated on Wednesday, with dry conditions for the remainder of the work week. Likewise, temperatures will return to above normal readings, with afternoon highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday Morning) Issued at 628 AM CDT FRI AUG 29 2014 VFR conditions are expected through most of the morning and early afternoon across the region; however, a few isolated storms could form in the vicinity of all TAF sites by 14z-17z along with scattered to broken 4-5 kft ceilings. Showers and storms should become more numerous across western MO this afternoon, then should push out of the terminals between 00z-03z. Winds will become light and variable early Saturday morning, resulting in patchy fog that could become dense in places. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. MO...NONE. && $$ UPDATE...32 SHORT TERM...Laflin LONG TERM...Blair AVIATION...Laflin

BEYOND FRIGHT: Song(s) Of The Week – Sebadoh "Skull" & The Misfits "Skulls"
Happy Friday, Fright Fiends! And apologies for missing the last few "Song Of The Week" updates, but alas, how 'bout I hit you with two instead of one? And since it's the Halloween season, I've opted to go for two with the word "Skull" in the title. One horror themed, one not at all, but both good tunes on the opposite side of the spectrum in terms of my musical tastes.
First up, Lou Barlow and company from the band Sebadoh with the track "Skull". I was a big lover of all things Sub Pop in the 90′s and while the reference to "skull" in the track is more about what someone can mentally do to your mind metaphorically rather than physically when you first meet them, I still just love this semi-sappy song. Check it out…
And for those looking for a more literal song that involves "skulls", what's the Halloween season without The Misfits?! So how 'bout a more ICONS/horror appropriate song with "Skulls".
And I'll leave you with somewhat that's somewhat of a cool mix of the above two – Fright friend and writer extraordinaire Sean Keller does a killer (pun intended) acoustic version of The Misfits "Skulls" so check that out below!
Previous song of the week selections:
- Suicide Silence "Slaves To Substance"
- Soundgarden "Live To Rise"
- Megadeth "Go To Hell"
- Alice In Chains "Them Bones"
- Ministry "Just One Fix"
- The Ramones "Pet Cemetery"
- Testament "Souls Of Black"
- Impending Doom "Deceiver"
- Helmet "In The Meantime"
- Slayer "Threshold"
- Anthrax "Only"

News: Teyana Taylor Warms Up "Cruel Winter" Chatter
Tuesday, Oct 23, 2012 2:30PM
G.O.O.D. Music's Teyana Taylor is only fueling expectations of a Cruel Winter compilation album to drop in the coming months, reaffirming labelmate Q-Tip's hints at the star-studded group effort.
While she would not go into much detail, Taylor did green light a follow-up to Cruel Summer is in store.
"Well, I mean, Q-Tip don't lie. If it's been a Cruel Summer, it's definitely gonna be a cruel, Cruel Winter. But you ain't hear that from me." With three features on the crew's recent release, Taylor also gushed about the success of the album. "We came second to Pink, and that was her huge comeback. Number one on the Hip-Hop charts. So I'm very, very excited about that, and excited to have as many placements on there that I do. I'm very excited and blessed and thankful." (All Hip Hop)
In early October, G.O.O.D. Music's Teyana Taylor heated up the Internet with Cruel Winter talk.
"It's been a cruel, cruel summer.," she tweeted October 1st.
"And it's going to be a cruel mutha fu%kin winter." (Teyana Taylor's Twitter)
Last week, Q-Tip accidentally spilled the beans on the LP coming together.
"We're just trying to do some next 'ish, you know what I'm saying?," Tip said in an interview when asked about working with Kanye West. "Look out for the Pusha T album, the Big Sean album's coming up next. [Can you expect me on Cruel Winter?] Oh yeah, for sure. I can't really, [laughs], let out too much details about it but yeah, I'll be on it. Kanye had the plan for that, so look out." (Hip Hop Since 1978)
A few weeks back, Tip broke the news of a possible follow-up being in the works.
After struggling to explain why he didn't appear on CS, Tip, who was flanked by his G.O.O.D. cohort Pusha T, just spilled the beans. "I know, I know, I'm sorry about that but I have to let the cat out of the bag. Kanye's probably gonna get...," the former A Tribe Called Quest frontman said before stopping mid-sentence to call over Pusha T to help him with the big news. "If there's a Cruel Summer then there's got to be a Cruel Winter right?" Q-Tip said, alluding that the G.O.O.D. crew will be following up with another album soon. "That's all I'm saying." (MTV)

Product Basket
- Spices
From the Beginning, Rajasthan has offered an excellent advantage in terms of building this portfolio. This semi arid region has been traditionally known for seed spices. Initial success and subsequent support from the Government has enabled Morarka Organic to create a large production base for many seed spices. These spices have also traditionally enjoyed patronage both in domestic as well as international markets. Conversion to organic has added a new dimension to this competitiveness. With increasing demands for more quantities and varieties, Morarka Organic has now been expanding the production base to many other parts of India.
This is a cash crop for the farmers. Specific spices are known to be cultivated in different areas. For some a particular spice is just one additional crop that fits in to organic crop rotation, while for some a sizable area is dedicated to the cultivation of spice crops. In the first case the conversion has been simple, but in the second case, the conversion to organic required many years of R&D work to develop the appropriate package of practices. In addition extra ordinary efforts have also been made to get the very best quality of each spice to be brought under organic. Since Morarka has been exporting these spices to many international markets, it is also certified for Bio Suisse and JAS, in addition to USDA- NOP, EU, & India NPOP.
Ajwain (Aniseed)
This is a very minor spice in terms of volume of production as well as in terms of its usage, both in India as well as in International markets. At Morarka some farmers in South Rajasthan project areas and some in Maharashtra project areas are cultivating this spice in reasonable quantities. The traditional varieties have very fine grain and most of the consumption is also in whole grain form. In recent years some hybrid varieties having very bold grains are also cultivated due to its good appearance, but when used in whole form it gives bitter taste in the mouth, and thus is not very popular.
This is a major spice, both produced and consumed in very large quantities. In Rajasthan, south east districts are traditionally known for this spice and are harvested in March- April. Coriander quality is evaluated for its color, size, aroma, number of broken seeds, and after taste. Mostly it is yellow green in color but in some regions brown coriander is also cultivated. With the support from Government, Morarka has now been able to create a very large base for organic production of this spice, with the result it is already recognized as the single largest producer of this spice in India. This spice is harvested in March-April, and is sold as whole, split and powder.
A very important spice, both nationally as well as for Morarka Organic. It has been very difficult to convert the cultivation of this spice to organic. In Rajasthan, south-west districts are known for good quality cumin which is generally harvested in April -May. Morarka Organic has also been supported by many government programs to become the single largest producer of organic cumin in the country. Cumin quality in the trade circle is evaluated on the basis of uniformly bold size of the grain, color, aroma & taste.
This is mostly cultivated in the south-east districts of Rajasthan along with other winter crops and is harvested in March - April. Since the demand for this spice is steadily going up, Morarka Organic has now also tied up with farmer groups in Madhya Pradesh for sourcing additional quantities. Mostly greenish yellow fennel is preferred.
With the increasing popularity of Indian Curry, this spice is in demand everywhere. In almost all the project areas of Morarka in Rajasthan, this is cultivated, as per crop rotation, though in very small quantities. Being the single largest producer of Fenugreek, it has been an important product in the core portfolio at Morarka. It has yellow green color, also in terms of size, the small compact yellow grain is preferred over bold yellow green gains.
It is an onion seed and is a very minor spice mostly consumed for creating a typical pickle taste in foods. At Morarka Organic some farmers in the south Rajasthan project areas and some in the Maharashtra project areas are cultivating this spice in reasonable quantities. The uniform black color and bold seeds are preferred by the consumers.
It is a very popular oil seed crop in India. As a spice both black as well as yellow mustard is consumed. The black mustard in some areas is cultivated as a winter crop through conserved residual moisture. In some parts it is also cultivated under irrigated agriculture. A large majority of farmers in the Morarka Organic project areas cultivate black mustard in their crop rotation. Yellow mustard has been promoted only in some areas. Originally small black brown grains were preferred, but now with the introduction of hybrid varieties the bold brown gains are only available, which also have high oil content.
This is a very minor spice consumed in very specific food preparations. At Morarka Organic some select farmers in the western Rajasthan project areas are cultivating this crop.
Red Chilly
A very important spice crop demanded as whole, flakes and powder, and is regularly consumed in very large quantities. Many variations depending on heat value (pungency) of chilly are cultivated in the Maharashtra project areas of Morarka Organic. Generally three levels of heat value, i.e., about 15,000-20,000, 25,000-30,000 and 40,000 are offered by Morarka Organic. In addition Morarka Organic also has some very high pungency Red Chilies from the Northeast region of India, popularly known as Bird's Eye or Naga Chilly. Recently Morarka Organic has also developed a drying process for green chilly and its powder form is now becoming very popular as a table spice. In addition to heat value, consumers also have a preference for the chilly that imparts more red shade to the food.
It imparts yellow color to Indian curries and is an important ingredient both for its color as well as for its medicinal properties. Morarka Organic has originally developed organic turmeric cultivation in the Maharashtra project areas, and has now expanded it to Northeast region as well. Mostly turmeric is sold as powder, and very small quantities are also sold as whole in international markets. Institutional clients prefer turmeric with high curcumine content, i.e., above 3 percent responsible for imparting yellow color, while for domestic consumption turmeric with the value of 2-3 is preferred.

Upgrade .I had a better look at the carb and saw some more problems like a warped top section and warn out treads so I put it in the"may need it someday bin" and borrowed one from a power unit.My parts book shows 3 different numbers for main jets and my 73 has a larger hole than older ones so I will try switching a few to see if they run any different.Thanks for the advice and merry xmas.PS that orchard cub is interesting.No axel extention like our A21 shop mule based on super A power train
Re: main jet removal
The carb top can be easily flattened, and most any stripped threads can be helicoiled. Definitely save the carb.

Here's a blurb from a story on Yahoo Sports by Mark J. Spears dated April 8:
"Several high-ranking NBA team executives told Yahoo! Sports they wouldn't be surprised if the age limit in the new CBA is pushed to two years in college and 20 years old by the end of that calendar year. One NBA general manager says about two-thirds of teams are in favor of that change. The current CBA states that an American must be out of high school for at least one year and be 19 years old by the end of that calendar year before entering the draft."
I know that there are a lot of people who have given this subject a lot of thought, and who probablly have well reasoned opinions as to what this would mean to UCLA if it is true. Then there are others who are waiting for "I'll Stay For Three, then I Won't Play for Free." I personally am holding out for "In College for Four then we Show You the Door." (Or something like that.)
Although they should have nothing at all to say on the issue, I wouldn't be surprised if somehow morgan off-center screws this up.

Red Cross volunteers from south Louisiana have mobilized to provide emergency aid to tornado victims.
One team left New Orleans for Oklahoma Tuesday morning, and the local Salvation Army says its crews are on standby.
Red Cross volunteers Beaulah Davis and Thomas Butler of New Orleans answered the emergency call for help in Oklahoma.
Butler said, "This one is tough, looking at the news the last few days, seeing that there's nothing left."
Not even 24 hours after the devastation, the pair loaded into a Red Cross emergency response vehicle on Canal Street and headed for Oklahoma, where Butler says they'll be assigned to a kitchen.
They're one of several teams deployed from south Louisiana.
Melissa Eugene-Duplantier, another volunteer with the Red Cross, said, "Overall, nationwide, 25 trucks from American Red Cross chapters all over the country are moving in to Oklahoma City today."
The local Salvation Army says it remains on standby, waiting for the call for help. Other Salvation Army crews are already on the ground in the town of Moore, considered ground zero for Monday's deadly tornado.
Salvation Army canteens in New Orleans are ready to go. Maj. William Owens with the Salvation Army says, "These trailers for instance carry 5,000 meals ready to go… Our disaster unit itself carries 1,500 meals that are ready to go to be cooked."
Like the Salvation Army, the Red Cross knows this is likely just the beginning of what could be an effort that will consume its volunteers for weeks and possibly months.
The Northwest Louisiana chapter of the Red Cross began the dispatch of three emergency response vehicles, one each from Shreveport, Monroe and Alexandria Monday.

On Monday a three-judge federal panel set December 11th for the start of a trial challenging GOP backed congressional redistricting. The judges, who convened in Marshall, have ordered the case moved to Austin.
The panel also ordered the parties involved to draw up temporary plans by Friday to guide counties on how to proceed with elections until the case is resolved.
Texas lawmakers in early October finally agreed on new congressional lines after months of political battles. GOP Governor Rick Perry signed the measure into law. Democrats and others then sued to block the updated redistricting plan.
Last spring, lawmakers moved the Texas primary date up one week so it would coincide with Super Tuesday. But when redistricting dragged on, the legislators were forced to move the Texas primary back to its original March ninth date.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Carolina rookie Elias Lindholm scored twice for the first multi-goal game of his career and the Hurricanes dominated the listless Pittsburgh Penguins 4-1 on Tuesday night.
Eric Staal and Justin Faulk also scored for Carolina while Jeff Skinner added two assists. Anton Khudobin stopped 30 shots as the Hurricanes avoided being swept in the season series by Pittsburgh for the first time in 18 years.
The Penguins wasted a chance to wrap up the Metropolitan Division title.
Chris Kunitz scored his 35th goal to give Pittsburgh an early lead, but the Penguins crumbled over the final two periods. Sidney Crosby picked up an assist to push his NHL-leading point total to 100, but Carolina held the otherwise potent Pittsburgh offense in check.
Marc-Andre Fleury made 24 saves, but received little help playing behind a sloppy defense.

Dustin, what you are talking about is not evolution per se. It is what many call micro-evolution (changes within a species). You mentioned taking different breeds of dogs and eventually you would get a new breed of dog. Well, it's still a dog. It's not a lizard or some other type of creature or "species" as evolutionists would say. And to this point there is no evidence of such a change (I would argue that we will never see such evidence). Just try your experiment with a rabbit and a dog and see what happens. Nothing because they are a different "species" or "kind" which is why the Bible says "after there own kind". No one denies that changes occur within a "species" i.e.: humans living longer or growing taller or a wolf's fur changing colour etc. But the fact remains, we are still human and the wolf is still a wolf. We are not a new "species" and neither is the wolf when compared to our forefathers or the wolf compared to its ancestors. Essentially, a dog by any other name is still a dog.

By SAMANTHA MANNING 6 News Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - A Knox County couple arrested in the shooting death of a six-month-old girl last month could face felony charges, according to prosecutors.
Assistant District Attorney General Kevin Allen told a judge Monday his office may pursue felony murder charges as a result of child neglect.
Angela Major and Ken Mason are both charged with reckless homicide after Knox County Sheriff's deputies said their six-month-old daughter, Kelsey Major, was shot and killed following a struggle over a handgun inside their Alcoa Highway home.
"This incident involves the death of a six-month-old child," Allen said. "There's a consideration, at least in my office, of potentially first-degree murder in this case."
6 News Legal Analyst Greg Isaacs said if the prosecution does pursue felony murder charges, it will be a more difficult case for the defense.
"All the prosecution has to prove is you had a gun, you were acting in a way that was abusive or neglectful to the child and a felony was committed and as a result of that felony this child died," Isaacs said.
If the state does increase the charges to felony murder, Major and Mason could face life in prison or even the death penalty, but Isaacs said this case is more likely to result in a sentence of 8-12 years or possibly 50 years or more if there is a felony conviction.
"With the custom of practice here in Knox County, a case that starts out as reckless homicide, it would be very remote for it to end up in a death penalty phase before it reached a jury," Isaacs said.
Major sat shaking her head and fighting back tears as the prosecutor fought to keep bond at $1 million.
Mason's defense attorney argued $1 million was far too excessive for reckless homicide and the judge agreed to lower it to $200,000.
Major's defense attorney told the judge he is stepping down due to a conflict of interest.
Major's bond remains at $1 million.
Allen said the state plans to bring in a key witness in the case, Ashley Kilpatrick, who is in the Anderson County jail on charges of violating probation.
The Knox County Sheriff's Office said Kilpatrick was inside the home during the shooting.
Kilpatrick told authorities that she overhead Mason and Major arguing before the gun went off, killing Kelsey.
After Monday's hearing, Major's family said it was disappointed that Mason's bond was reduced.
One of Mason's friends left the courtroom in tears saying she believes he, "is not the monster he was made out to be."
A hearing is scheduled for Major and Mason on July 15.

Section II sent 4 softball teams and 3 baseball teams to the state tournament final four on Saturday. Fort Ann was the only section II school to send both a baseball and softball team to the state semifinals.
In fact, both Fort Ann teams were the only ones of the group to advance to advance to the finals, and to put icing on the cake, both were victorious in the championship game.
The Cardinals knocked off Section IV's Hancock 14-0 in baseball. The lady Cardinals outlasted Section IV's Afton 5-2 in softball to complete the Class "D" baseball/softball sweep for the school.

A Massachusetts State Police officer has released photos of the Boston Marathon bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev surrendering on the boat he was found in following a police shootout and a manhunt. The photos are never-seen-before images showing Dzhokhar bloody and battered as a sniper takes aim at his head.
Sgt. Sean Murphy, a tactical photographer with the State Police in Massachusetts, handed over the images to Boston Magazine on Thursday. He was, like the rest of the country, furious over the Rolling Stone cover showing Dzhokhar Tsarnaev looking like a rock star. He specifically told Boston Magazine, 'he wanted to counter the message he says Rolling Stone conveys.'
The photos taken by Sgt. Sean Murphy show Dzhokhar emerging from the boat he was hiding in from authorities. He is seen in the photos raising his hands to surrender as a sniper aims at his forehead. Blood is pouring down his face as he leaves the boat. Sgt. Sean Murphy told Boston Magazine:
"As a professional law-enforcement officer of 25 years, I believe that the image that was portrayed by Rolling Stone magazine was an insult to any person who has every worn a uniform of any color or any police organization or military branch, and the family members who have ever lost a loved one serving in the line of duty."
Rolling Stone has continued to defend their cover saying that, "The fact that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is young, and in the same age group as many of our readers, makes it all the more important for us to examine the complexities of this issue and gain a more complete understanding of how a tragedy like this happens." In the Boston Magazine article, it promised that a 'more complete collection' of photos will appear in their September issue.
As of Friday night, however, Sgt. Sean Murphy has allegedly been relieved of duty. He's not yet fired, but he has been ordered not to speak to the media.
Do you think Sgt. Sean Murphy did the honorable thing by releasing those photos?

Right Hand -Resistance
The wound on His right hand represents His resistance to evil.
- Ask God to judge and resist those things that hold back His blessings.

Please pray for Karen Wright, to be completely healed of cancer. She fought cancer last year and was cleared of it after they removed 22 lumps from her and she under went radiation treatment. She has recently noticed a lump and is going to the doctor in Atlanta, Monday the 11th, to see if the cancer has returned. Please pray also for her to be at peace in her heart and mind, for she is very scared of it returning.
God bless everyone. Jim

Not every messenger is created equal. With several major VOIP options to choose from, each tries to distinguish itself in a way that can vary user experience drastically.
Perhaps you're a mobile user that wants to incorporate SMS into your messenger or someone who works cross-platform and wants to consolidate all messaging into a single client.
Regardless, the choice is simple to make when you compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of each client.
If you've browsed around the Google Play store at all, odds are you've already seen Viber and its user base of over 50 million. Available for Android and iOS device, accessibility has played no small part in Viber's popularity. At its core Viber is all about IM style chats with phone calls through your own provider, but there are also many of the same extras that former Skype users have come to expect. This includes features like group chat and favorite lists. There are a few restrictions, including a 15 person group chat limit, but they shouldn't be too burdensome for anyone who wants free HD voice calling on their mobile device.
With Tango you can make free voice calls and video calls from any device with an Internet connection. Much like Skype, you can also record and mail video messages to anyone on your contact list. While the video quality is generally considered to be worse than Skype, Tango does offer a client that runs smoothly from window to window and has reliable connections that help guarantee no hang-ups.
One reason ooVoo has become so popular is its early availability on both Android devices and desktop computers, allowing users from either to chat cross-platform. In many respects, ooVoo is an alternative to Tango. Initially designed for Android devices, Tango supports 12-way high definition video and voice calls. And while ooVoo does have a reputation for decreased video quality in large group chats, much like Nimbuzz, you can use ooVoo to make cheap international calls.
Nimbuzz may not be a household name, but has gathered more than 50 million users worldwide. Rather than using your own provider, Nimbuzz can let you make calls for a few cents a minute on your smartphone. While you won't get SMS or MMS delivery with Nimbuzz, you can enjoy unlimited group chat, Facebook contact integration, and of course status feed options. You can also use the Nimbuzz Out app to save up to 95% on your international calls with pay as you call mobile lines.
At the heart of Nimbuzz's success is its seamless integration with MSN messenger, Google Talk, Yahoo Messenger, ICQ, and several other major VOIP services. Similarly, it's available For Windows, Android, Blackberry, and iOS devices. So while Nimbuzz may not be the most popular name on this list, it does allow you to connect to the largest networks on the planet.
One of the longest running competitors to Skype, the main draw of Fring is that it allows you to call other Fring users for free. Of course Fring also offers the same IM-style chats, video calls, and group chat that Skype does, but unlike Viber and Nimbuzz, you won't find SMS or MMS delivery on board.
What you will find is free group video that rivals Skype's quality, including 4-way video calls. You'll also find unlimited worldwide free Fring calls, as well as access to fringOut for cheap international calls. Apart from call forwarding and file sharing, Fring has everything one wants from an alternative to Skype.
Hardly requiring an introduction at all, Skype is one of the most popular messaging clients in the world with over half a billion users. And there's no mystery as to why. With free video calls, SMS delivery, and group chat with a massive 300 user limit, Skype offers for free what other messengers have to sell. And Skype's premium services are equally impressive. You can also get free international calls through Skype when you use Microsoft's subscription service. Skype is just as flexible when it comes to payment, accepting everything from major cards and Maestro to pay safe cards.
Skype is also incredibly robust as far as IM clients go, including all of the core features of modern messengers like status settings, file transfer, and chat history. Unfortunately you won't find much of a custom chat area or any special sharing features beyond file transfer, but on the plus side, Skype is supported on virtually every device imaginable. This includes Skype-ready televisions and telephones.

Two Suwanee high school students were arrested Tuesday on gun charges, according to Gwinnett County Public Schools.
The boys, who attend Peachtree Ridge High School, were arrested and charged with possession of a weapon within a school safety zone.
Officials say the weapon was not loaded and the students never made threats.
Gwinnett County Public Schools said the boys will also face disciplinary action. The school's principal sent a letter to parents notifying them of the incident.

Fat Margins Make Apple Healthy and Investors Happy
On January 27, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) reported fiscal first-quarter earnings that didn't quite live up to Wall Street's expectations. Never mind that revenue increased 5.7 percent to a record $57.6 billion for the quarter, beating the mean analyst estimate of $57.4 billion, and never mind that earnings increased 5 percent to $14.50 per diluted share, beating the mean analyst estimate of $14.08 per share — the first quarter was all about iPhone sales, and Apple missed the mark.
The "biggest issues with AAPL's Dec-13 report," wrote analysts at Piper Jaffray in a research note published shortly after earnings were released, is that "iPhone units missed Street estimates by 7% and the company implies iPhones may be close to flat y/y in March." Sales estimates missed expectations "despite the addition of China Mobile (as well as DOCOMO and T-Mobile with no y/y comps)." Apple sold 51 million iPhones in the quarter, an all-time quarterly sales record that fell short of expectations for 55 million in sales. Actual iPhone unit sales grew 7 percent on the year compared with expectations for double-digit growth.
The miss triggered selling pressure, driving shares down 8 percent the day after earnings to about $500. In hindsight, the selling pressure may have been an overreaction, but it wasn't totally without warrant. Apple has most of its eggs in one basket with the iPhone — the device accounted for 56.4 percent of Apple's total revenue in its fiscal first quarter — and with so much of the business tied up in one device, the market sometimes substitutes the performance of the device for the performance of the company.

NEW YORK (WKOW) -- The New York City Department of Education is making the morning-after-pill available to high school girls at 13 public schools.
Education officials say girls as young as 14 will be able to get the Plan B emergency contraception without their parent's consent.
Parents have been notified about the pilot program called CATCH and how their daughters can opt out of it.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn says she supports the program because high school students are sexually active and getting pregnant. The city says about 7,000 girls get pregnant by the time they reach the age of 17, and more than half choose to get an abortion.
NYC schools already distribute free condoms to students.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: would hate a New Year's Day without itIn full: Thank you so much to everyone for letting this go ahead despite the weather. Particular mention to the bagpiper, the pipes were gurgling a bit and I hope he hasn't damaged his instrument! He's one of my favourite parts of the day, along with the course, costumes, encouragement, mud, carrot, soup and hot bath afterwards!Date of review: January 3, 2014
In short: yet another great All about triathlons eventIn full: What a shame such bitterness about runners who got lost and their treatment from the organisers - AAT events always well organised and signposted, and what did they really expect them to do? Re run the race? If you're thinking of entering the next Hurt don't let the odd bad review put you off - just get good trail shoes, find something steep to train on, and look forward to the next two Hurts - I know I am!Date of review: June 18, 2013
In short: best race of the year!In full: Always such a feel-good race with cheerful marshals and friendly atmosphere. Beautiful beautiful course, and most other races this year will feel easy in comparison. Missed the bagpiper this year, but soup as delicious as ever. Thanks for another great run, see you next year!Date of review: January 1, 2013
In short: grinned all the way round, very friendly race and interesting courseIn full: Have read lots of comments about this, and realise it's impossible to please everyone! Very sad that lots of late finishers were lonely at the back as no longer a staggered start, and it must be v disappointing to miss out on the goodies too, albeit temporarily. New downhill start was a good way to warm up legs before first ascent of the course, but v crowded at beginning. Could there be 2 starts, first one with the speedies who want to dash off and get PBs, with those expecting to take more than 1and a half hours directly behind them. Then, about half an hour later, the rest of the field, say those expecting between one and one and a half hours. That way the "serious" runners wouldn't be held up on narrow stretches, and the beginners, or more "relaxed" runners, wouldn't be finishing when everyone has gone home. Start number two would be out of the way before the first runners finish, and there would always be plenty of action at the start/finish for spectators. Potential problem may be crowding on the steps as wave 2 catches up with slower ones from wave 1, but I think steps tend to get congested anyway! Date of review: January 6, 2011
