Will the Verge finally give a look at iOS 7 APIs, under-the-hood changes and smaller details now that the "developer NDA" is gone?5
Note: I am not talking about this, this or this... (Although in the comment section there were some page-long lists of links of missed reporting and coverage by the Verge but those lists got deleted by someone.)
Some tech blogs but especially the Verge had extremely poor coverage of iOS 7 beta when it was announced and released. The Verge dismissed complaints about their particular shallow iOS 7 coverage with "We can't report on features and APIs under developer NDA." (While still reporting on 2 or 3 NDA items...)
APIs, under-the-hood changes and iOS 7 details that go further than a quick first look were completely missing and not remotely as good as the awesome coverage and details Tom Warren has when reporting on WP8 and Windows 8.1 features and changes. I am not even expecting the Verge to have the same coverage as cultofmac, etc... but I would prefer to get a decent enough coverage just by reading the Verge.
(And no, the iOS 7 review and The best hidden features in iOS 7 hardly touch on any of those.)
Now that the NDA has dropped I expect some detailed reports and looks.

Equine insurance: Charity event to feature horse attractions
Equine insurance policyholders have been told that horses are to play a big part in a fundraising event being held this Sunday (May 29th) near Spilsby, Lincolnshire.
The Market Rasen Mail reported that the Northcote Heavy Horse Centre is running a medieval tournament in order to collect money for the ongoing running and maintenance of the organisation.
Centre manager Terena Bolam explained: "With 15 horses to feed, as well as the goats etc, it is crucial to the survival of the centre that we can make enough money to keep going for another year, and these events help with that."
Those travelling to the attraction will see a costume parade, as well as skilled sports such as javelin, lancing rings and the "quintin", all negiotiated on horseback.
Mounted gymnastics and archery demonstrations will be on display and, for the first time, the opportunity to witness medieval dancing.
Last month, a fundraiser which recreated a historic ride from London to Edinburgh was backed by Prince Charles.

First of all, here's to hoping that you blow the lid off the myth that The KC Queefs are for real. No mercy on Sunday OK?
And, since I am tech challenged and don't know how to embed video within these editors I'll just leave the link to a hilarious video i figured ya'll would appreciate. Good to see Mr.Perfect can have a laugh or two sometimes. My favorite line : "You, get outta here. I can't even look at you!"....."I'll kill a snitch, you know what I mean? I'm not saying I have, but I would."
I think I need more words:
Chiefs suck, they annoy me, Manning will burn holes through their chest with his laser beam stare, Glenn Dorsey was over rated in college and still is-don't worry too much about him, but Tamba Hali is a beast and has a cool name, Todd Haley is a no talent ass clown trying to be NE west with Charlie "i'm one white castle away from my tenth coronary and I actually make Rex Ryan look skinny" Weis, The coors lite commercials with Romeo Crannel are not funny.
Go Colts.

The Bengals have a good offense and could easily keep it close although they are prone to interceptions and fumbles this year which the Jets defence will eat up.
The Jets have been so frustrating, they have beaten by bet aginst the handicap the last couple of weeks but have still managed to turn it on and win games very late on like they did on Sunday.
One man who never fails to disappoint is WR Santonio Holmes who has been brilliant since he returned from suspension, he has always been a top class receiver and has a Superbowl ring to his name and he has quickly become QB Sanchez favourite receiver. He won the game with a catch n run in overtime in Cleveland and caught the winning TD late in the game against the Texans on sunday and i expect him to be able to add another TD tonight.
He is up against a suspect Bengals D who are missing BOTH of their starting safties, the cornerback Jospeph is also on the injury list so hopefully the Jets offence can get the ball in the air and score some points.
a defence has to gel and if they are starting players who arent used to eachother then mistakes can easiy be made so i think even money on S.Holmes TD anytime is a fair price.
Stake 6 on S.Holmes TD anytime @ 2.00 with Coral
Stake 0.5 on Holmes 1st TD scorer @ 9.0 with Coral
Stake 0.5 on Holmes Last TD scorer @ 7.0 with Paddy Power

It's Sioux and Gophers week again and I would compare this historic rivalry to the Hatfield's and McCoy feud. All you have to do is watch the videos to figure out that these two teams just that don't like each other very much. Some of it's due to the fact that UND has quite a few players from the Metro area that like to play against the Gophers and beat them. I am expecting an awesome effort from Danny Kristo, Ben Blood, Nick Mattson, Joe Gleason, Brock Nelson, Derek Forbort.
Nothing like a big hit by one of the Sioux's forward to fire the team up and then start a Donny Brook.I found this gem on Gopher Puck Live…
Why do Sioux fans continue to manufacture reasons to fuel the rivalry? There's this phantom incident, Wheeler insulting Finley's sister, the never seen Lucia spear and they also accused Bickel of "hiding behind a ref" a few years ago. I figure in a few years some idiot will recycle the spear and sister insult. Just embrace your goonery and stop trying to justify it.
As you just read above, we will hear from Gopher fans how the Fighting Sioux are a bunch of classless Goons. If you believe the hype, it's almost like the Sioux are a bunch of knuckle dragging Neanderthals straight out of the movie Slap Shot.
Me personally, I like to refer to the Gophers as being "Minnesota's Pansies on Ice". You know the team that won't go head to head with your favorite team, but will stand behind the referee and yap (i.e., Stu Bickel, Seth Helgeson, Tony Lucia) and when they are called out beg for the ref to save them.
Just a reminder to folks, remember it's just a game folks, we don't need anyone getting into a fight outside the arena or in the bars on either side of the ice. When it's all said and done hope everyone has a fun time and no one gets hurt or arrested. Back in 2009 I wrote a blog post on fan behavior at the Illegal Curve.
Here is the video of the after math of "the never seen Lucia spear," of course there wasn't going to ever be a video proving that there was a Lucia spear. FSN isn't going to come forward with a spear that showed on of their golden boys in a bad light.

At least six underground tanks containing nuclear waste in the northwestern US state of Washington are leaking, but there is no imminent threat to public health, a spokeswoman said Friday.
The US Energy Department told the state last week that one tank was leaking at the Hanford nuclear site, but Energy Secretary Steven Chu informed its governor Jay Inslee on Friday that more leaks had been discovered.
"Secretary Chu let him know today that there are actually more tanks they've discovered leaking, at least six, possibly more," Inslee's spokeswoman Jaime Smith told AFP, after the meeting between Inslee and Chu in Washington DC.
"At this point we don't believe that there's any imminent threat to public health. Of course we're concerned, because we don't have any information yet about the extent of the leak or how long they've been going on."
Asked for details of the leaking material, she said: "It's nuclear waste. Different tanks have slightly different kinds of waste that they're holding. We're not clear yet on exactly what has been leaking for how long."
The Hanford nuclear site in the southwest of the US state was used to produce plutonium for the bomb that brought an end to World War II.
Output grew after 1945 to meet the challenges of the Cold War, but the last reactor closed down in 1987. Its website says: "Weapons production processes left solid and liquid wastes that posed a risk to the local environment."
The ecological threat extends to the Columbia River, it added, noting that in 1989 US federal and Washington state authorities agreed a deal to clean up the Hanford Site.
The Washington governor's spokeswoman said they hoped for more information about the leaking tanks soon.
"The Department of Energy has committed to try and get us more information pretty quickly, hopefully within the next week or so. So we should have more information soon," she said.

QUESTION:I run a small family-owned business and my daughter has CVID. I am meeting with my insurance broker to change our health insurance coverage and I want to make sure that I ask all the right questions before making the switch to a new company. Is there a list of questions that I should address with my insurance broker?
ANSWER:Yes. Before switching to a new insurance company, you should ask your broker or potential new insurance company the following questions so that you minimize the risk of surprises after you make the change.
Will the policy cover a chronic or pre-existing condition/illness such as a Primary Immune Deficiency?
Will the policy cover intravenous (IVIG) or subcutaneous (SCIG) treatment?
Are there any annual or inside limits specifically for IG treatment?
Are there any annual or inside limits on all treatment for pre-existing conditions?
Is there a co-pay or co-insurance that must be paid for IVIG treatment? If so, how much or what is the percentage?
Does the policy cover dependents and spouse/domestic partner? Until what age or event?
Is there a waiting period before a pre-existing condition or illness will be covered and services paid for? If so, how long? Also, can it be waived?
Is home service covered? Are nursing services and supplies associated with infusion covered?
Will the policy allow for use at both an in-network and out-of-network provider, physician, and pharmacy? If so, what are the differences in cost?QUESTION:My 4 year old son was just diagnosed with X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia. I would love to talk to other parents who have children with a primary immune deficiency but Im not sure where to find them. No one seems to understand what we are going through or what we can expect in terms of how this will affect his life on a day to day basis. Can you provide any help?
ANSWER:We know that sometimes a patient or family member just needs to talk to someone who has been there. IDF connects patients and their families with others who have gone through similar situations to share experiences, encouragement and understanding. Peer contacts may also provide information on local resources, plan educational or support group meetings, increase awareness of primary immune deficiencies in their communities, and serve as advocates in both local and federal public policy arenas.
This free resource is for anyone personally affected by primary immunodeficiency - a patient, parent or other family member, friend or caregiver. And you can take comfort in knowing your communications and correspondence will be held in the strictest confidence.
Just contact the Immune Deficiency Foundation at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 800-296-4433. An IDF staff member will contact you and get to know you and your needs. The IDF staff member will make arrangements for a volunteer peer consultant to contact you by phone or e-mail, however you prefer. Remember - you are not alone.

"The "Stroke" For Galway West" Vote 1 Michael Fahy -Independent FF -1987 General Election January 9, 2011
From the 1987 General Election an Ad for Independent Fianna Fail candidate Michael 'Stroke' Fahy.
The Slogan of "The "Stroke" For Galway West" is fairly eye catching.
I gather he failed to get a party nomination and ran as an Independent Fianna Fail candidate.
He later rejoined the party. He is perhaps most widely known for his Misappropriation conviction for which he served time in jail.
In the 1987 Election he polled 3,139 votes and missed out on a seat. He is still a Councillor having been reelected in 2009.
From the Galway Advertiser.

Dessie Larkin is the son of former Independent Fianna Fail Senator James Larkin (1985 Leaflet here).
The aims and objectives of the party are fairly good. There's little or no mention of the British presence in the North which was a mainstay of their early policies until the peace process.
Michael Healy-Rae -Independent Fianna Fail -2009 Local Elections Killorglin April 9, 2010
From the 2009 Local Elections in Kerry. Poll topper in Killorglin LEA, Michael Healy-Rae, son of the sitting TD Jackie Healy-Rae.
'I earnestly ask for your NO 1 VOTE Please -or you next highest preference' writes Michael.
The thing that also strikes me about the leaflet is that when reading it I can hear Michael Healy-Raes voice saying most of the text.
I also see that Michael is a member of the HSE.
Albert Doherty, Columba Doherty -Independent Fianna Fail- Innisowen 2004 LE March 15, 2010
From the 2004 Local Elections in Donegal, Independent Fianna Fail candidates Albert Doherty and Columba Doherty. Neither were elected.

Liam Blaney (son of Harry Blaney, Brother of Niall Blaney, nephew of Neil T Blaney etc….), Joseph Cullen and Michael McBride from the 2004 Local Elections which were not brilliant by any means for Independent Fianna Fail. In Milford Liam Blaney held on to his seat but McBride and Cullen failed to get elected.

4. Manny being Manny. ( Note, I love the guy but he reminds me of an ex- girlfriend I used to have. Incredibly HOT, but not all there. I couldn't get enough of her even though I knew she was not for me. Given enough time she was going to let me down.
5. Russell Martin not being Russell Martin. Liked him better when he was 20 pounds heavier good for 14 to 18 jack's a year. If he wants to be a punch and judy This "new" Russell Martin should at least be hitting for average.
6. Juan Pierre will be depressed on the bench. It will affect his play.

Our Services in Glasgow
We're pleased to let you know about exciting new developments in Glasgow this spring. For a number of years now, we have been planning to establish our work in Glasgow. The city is already served by a number of great organisations working with homeless and vulnerable people. We didn't want to jump in and duplicate other projects but our desire was to work with like-minded local partners to provide a new type of service.
After a few months of thinking, discussing and praying, we're pleased to announce that a new range of community-based, family-focused services will be operating in Glasgow under the oversight of Bethany from spring 2014. Findlay Family Network, which started its work with families in 2005, has so far operated as a charity with close ties to Findlay Memorial church. Through the years Bethany and Findlay Family Network have built a good relationship, and in 2013 we started discussing the ways in which the work in Glasgow could be developed and strengthened for the future. Because we share the same vision and values this seemed a natural step forward. Read more

NOAA Radio
NWR broadcasts NWS warnings, watches, forecasts and other non-weather related hazard information 24 hours a day. During an emergency, NWS forecasters interrupt routine broadcasts and send a special tone activating local weather radios. Weather radios with a special alarm tone feature are equipped to sound an alert to give immediate information about life-threatening weather.
Radios with S.A.M.E. receive the same alerts and warnings as the NOAA radios, but allow users to adjust reception for specific counties. This keeps false alarms to a minimum.

Today, crews at Berkeley Electric Co-op are working to restore power to the last homes still without power in their service area.
There was some discussion online that Berkeley Electric quit repairing outages overnight Wednesday night into Thursday morning. We spoke with Eddie McKnight, a vice-president of Berkeley Electric.
He told us those reports are not true. "Our crews will work through the night and into the next day. And then they get rest at that point. And it worked out in this storm that the crews from out of town showed up about that time yesterday, and worked through the night last night."
McKnight said there was no time that crews were not working to repair outages.
People like Journeyman Lineman Ronnie Prioleau have been working hard restoring power. "It's pretty hard going. And we do all we can for the consumers to get the lights on as soon as possible, as safe as we can, and the main thing is looking out for each other."
On Wednesday, we spoke with Jinaris Rhames when her power was out. Today, we stopped back by now that her power is back on. Jinaris said, "It's wonderful. Feels good to have heat again."
She said it didn't take long for power to be restored. "Just a couple hours. The power was restored within a couple hours. You don't miss what you have until it's gone."
She loves the linemen who made those repairs, "thank you, thank you, thank you. I thank God for them."
Ronnie says that's what makes the hard work worth it. "It's a great thing to see a smileon their face, to know the light is coming on. You are proud that you can do that for them.
Eddie says he wants to assure the Lowcountry that they had people just like Ronnie repairing lines the entire time. "I would like people to know that our crews, or their replacements or substitutes, were rotating in and out at all times, from the time the storm started, and they are still working today. They do have toget rest as anyone does in any organization, but we worked around the clock from beginning to end."

Anyone looking for the power of a midsize laptop in a compact 12-inch body has only a few choices, and none to date tops Lenovo's excellent ThinkPad X201.
Belkin USB Anywhere
The Toshiba Thrive is a bulky but aggressively priced Honeycomb tablet that earns its girth with full port support and a removable battery.
This convertible laptop offers a 14.1-inch screen and a comfortable keyboard, but its supersized weight means you won't stray too far from a desk or a conference room table.
Pricing not available
The Toshiba Excite 10 LE sets a new design standard for thin and light 10-inch tablets, but the specs don't live up to the name.
The 3D-enabled Toshiba Satellite P755-3DV20 is one of the more affordable 3D-enabled laptops, but it lacks the horsepower we've seen in more-robust 3D gaming laptops.
FileMaker Pro 7.0 allows new and veteran users to easily create and manage large and complex data sets without all the fuss of a programming language.
A 3-inch LCD, serviceable high-ISO photos, and some fun features take a backseat to the Fujifilm FinePix V10's merely average image quality and tiny controls.
While the Toshiba Satellite A505-6025 has a rock-solid combination of computing power, graphics, and battery life, its price and bulk may be hard to swallow.
With its low price, great performance, and many features, the Dell SP2309W is a sound buy for a 23-inch monitor.

I was listening to Andrew Ferences weekly interview on WEEI this morning. Well we could make one hell of a drinking game for every time he says "you know" or mentions the enviroment. I lost track of the amount of times he said you know in about 30 seconds. If you didn't hear it see if you can find it on WEEI's website. Its worth hearing the amount of "you knows" he says. Feel free to add to the rules.
I say 1 drink for a you know and 2 for per enviromental mention.

In the tropics it is important to drink 1-2 litres of water a day or you can run the risk of dehydration and heat-related illness. If it's hot and you are active, drink more water, rest regularly and stay cool.
Don't wait until you are thirsty before you drink and try to avoid extra salt as it makes dehydration worse. Diluted fruit juice, isotonic sports' drinks, tea and low calorie soft drinks are good alternatives, but ordinary soft drinks are too high in sugar to meet your body's need for water.
Alcohol increases urine output making you more dehydrated; it isn't a healthy thirst quencher. If you are drinking alcohol, drink water before having any alcohol and make every second drink after that non-alcoholic.
Queensland the water in larger towns is 'treated' and safe to drink from the tap. Towns with a fluoridated water supply include Cairns, Townsville, Cooktown, Mossman, Port Douglas and Moranbah..
Don't drink untreated water in creeks or rivers.
In very small towns in rural areas, it may be necessary to treat the water by boiling it or using water purification tablets.
If you are unsure about the quality of your tap water, buy bottled water.

Diehl says she is impressed by Clark's focus on student success. She noted, "Before I came to Clark College, the staff, faculty, and administrators all told me that Clark is a great place to work because everyone works together to assure the student experience is successful. I have seen that every day since I arrived. At Clark College, it's all about the student."

Vanity Ballroom
Property Type
Historic Use
Current Use
Art Deco
Exotic Revival
Narrative Description
The Vanity Ballroom was designed by Charles N. Agree in the Art Deco style with Aztec theme. The building is two stories and consists of five retail store spaces on the first floor and a ballroom on the second. The building measures 125 feet along Newport and 121 feet along Jefferson with nearly identical facades on both streets. The building is constructed with a steel and reinforced concrete structural system faced with orange brick with darker brick, cast stone and tile ornamentation. The building contains a three-sided entrance pavilion on the corner, flanked by nearly identical facades on both axes and terminating with identical entrance pavilions at each end. The pavilions rise above the rest of the building and are accented with a geometric patterned course of cast stone below the coping. Cast bronze panels, kick plates and marble surrounds are amoung the rich materials used on the Vanity. The second floor multipaned casement windows are flanked by cast stone, fluted pilasters capped with Aztec-derived geometric designs.
Statement of Significance
Designed by local architect Charles N. Agree and built in 1929, the Vanity Ballroom Building is significant as an outstanding Art Deco styled building with Aztec theme detailing. It is also significant for containing the last remaining intact ballroom of the grand dance halls in Detroit accommodating the big bands of the 1930s and 1940s. The Vanity hosted such legendary big bands as Count Basie and Tommy Dorsey. The ballroom is a tangible remainder of a popular form of entertainment in the 1930s and 1940s, dancing, and the big-band era.

DALLAS -- The "for sale" sign in front of Michael Evans' home in Dallas attracted people every day and this week, he got a knock on the door.
The visit immediately signaled trouble. The man was not interested in buying the home. He wanted to rent it.
"He said there were pictures on Craigslist, there's an ad for it and he started describing the inside of the house which was weird," said Evans.
The man left and Evans went on-line. He never posted anything on Craigslist, but he found his home "for rent" and online.
"There was my house, photos, description, everything that is on the for sale listing," said the homeowner. "It was copied on Craigslist and the home was for $700, all bills paid."
Evans got in contact with the person behind the ad. He first posed as a potential renter.
"Then I mentioned that I owned the house and that's when he got a little upset,' said Evans. "He started cussing and threatening me."
News 8 tried to contact the man who posted the ad, but he did not get a response. The Evans family notified Craigslist of the alleged scheme.
"He is preying on the right person," said Evans. "He's looking for somebody who has no money or is in a desperate situation to move real fast, real quick, for nothing."
Evans said he also found other rental listings tied to the same person.
News 8 noticed that on Craigslist, the company has posted a warning on rental ads, alerting people to be careful with money orders, transfers and landlords who are out of the country.
Evans' message: renters beware.
"I hope this totally saves somebody the possibility of losing money or the heartbreak of feeling ripped off," Evans said.

10 Things You'll See on GameDay That Have ZERO To Do With Football
Just over 48 hours to go till it's Football Time in Tennessee! But as much as I'm looking forward to soaking up all things pigskin, I also know that there are several non-football related things that come part and parcel with the first Gameday of the year. Here are 10 of them:
Tailgate Poachers
Most are aware of these people, though some of them are so good at what they do that they can slip in and out of a tailgate without ever being noticed. If you're lucky, it's just a small group of men (never NOT men, because the ladies are ALWAYS welcome), two, maybe three, who go from tailgate to tailgate, stealthily snatching food and beverage from hosts they'll never meet.
If you're not lucky, it's a damn frat house and they'll take you for all you're worth.

Smurfs (race)
|A typical adult male Smurf
|Smurfette, an adult female Smurf
Race Name: Smurfs
- You may also be looking for the cartoon show called Smurfs.
Smurfs are little blue human-like creatures that live in a small mushroom-house village hidden within a forest, the exact location of which is unknown to all but Smurfs.
NOTE: All following information is derived from observations of the Smurfs cartoon show and pertains mostly to the cartoon show's universe of characters and stories.
Physical Makeup
Physically, a Smurf is usually no more than "three apples tall" (appearance-wise to humans, no more than 3 inches) and has a pear-shaped body with an oval-shaped head, springy legs, and limber arms, with a short stubby tail sticking out from his or her buttocks. The springy legs allow a Smurf to jump to high places or across rocks and branches rather easily.
Smurfs are generally born male (though Smurfs do not physically reproduce, they do come into the world by a stork that delivers them to the Smurf Village from an unknown location on the night of a "blue moon"); very few Smurfs are female, and those that are are most likely magical creations rather than natural-born Smurfs.
- Nanny Smurf may be the only exception as far as female Smurfs are concerned, but since little has been revealed about her origin as a female Smurf, it is uncertain whether she truly is a naturally-born female Smurf.
The male Smurf is mostly bald and relatively hairless. He does not begin to sprout facial hair (a beard and/or moustache) until sometime around his 400s, as mentioned by Papa Smurf in "Symbols Of Wisdom". Grandpa Smurf, being in his 1000s, is the only known male Smurf at present who also has head hair growing around the back of his head, indicating that additional hair growth may be a sign of advancing age for a male Smurf. Because of the lack of head hair, male Smurfs wear hats on their heads. Besides that, male Smurfs also only wear pants, though a few Smurfs do wear clothing on their torsos; no specific reason is given for this, though it simply may be a matter of function and/or comfort for them.
Smurfs tend to age slower than humans and thus live longer than humans. A Smurf reaching his 100 years of age is usually considered an adult. It is rare for a Smurf to live to around 1000 years of age, as Grandpa Smurf has done. This is possibly due to the effects of the Long Life Force Stone, which has kept the Smurfs from accelerated aging and their possible destruction.
Though it is suggested that Smurfs tend to be vegetarians, there are rare occasions where some Smurfs are seen eating meat-based products, such as Hefty with his hot dog in "King Smurf". A few plants that are essential to their diets are sarsaparilla leaves and smurfberries.
Smurfs are considered highly sought after by wizards, since they are part of the ingredient for the formula that turns base metals into gold.
Society Structure And Culture
The Smurfs are led by a single adult Smurf of advanced years, who happens to be Papa Smurf, who is around 542 years old. He functions as both a village leader and a father figure, directing them in their daily tasks and serving as a mediator in disputes, using his skills, wisdom, intelligence, and power with benevolence. Sometimes a foreman would be selected among the young Smurfs to direct the other Smurfs in their tasks, such as Hefty. Why Papa Smurf is the only Smurf that wears red clothing while most of the other Smurfs wear white is unknown, though it may simply suggest leader status.
The Smurfs' community generally takes the form of a cooperative, sharing and kind environment based on the principle that each Smurf has something he or she is good at, and thus contributes it to Smurf society as he or she can. In return, each Smurf appears to be given their necessities of life, from housing and clothes to food. The Smurfs have very little use for money, though at times they may trade something valuable to outsiders in order to get something they need, as Wooly has done in "Wild And Wooly".
The Smurf community at the present time of their adventures consists of a little over 100 Smurfs, which includes Papa Smurf, Smurfette, 95 male Smurfs of around 150 years old, Baby Smurf, three young boy Smurflings of 50 years old, Sassette, Grandpa Smurf, Wild, and Nanny. Some additional residents of their village include pets such as Puppy, a 1000-year-old dog that Homnibus the wizard had given to the Smurfs, and Smoogle, a pink marsupial-type animal that has been a companion of Nanny.
Smurfs communicate in a language that they call Smurf, which is just basically a variation of a human language where the word "smurf" is used to substitute for a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb. The language is rather intuitive since only Smurfs can understand what each other are really saying in Smurf.
Smurfs celebrate birthdays and holidays, including some that are rather indigenous to the Smurf community at large. They also enjoy various recreational activities as well as arts and music, including their local sport of smurfball. Smurfs usually sing the Smurf song whenever they're happy doing something (or just happy).
Smurfs tend to be nature-based in their belief system (though some do hold to the concept of a "heaven" and a "hell", as demonstrated in "Heavenly Smurfs"), and have certain rituals that involve elements in nature. Marriages (between male and female Smurfs) are very rare, if they even happen at all, though it is possible that such do happen.
As far as established history goes, Papa Smurf was born the son of Grandpa Smurf, who left on a 500-year journey to find the purest sources of the four known elements to restore the Long Life Force Stone. Nanny Smurf had followed after Grandpa Smurf in order to look for more yarn, which left Papa Smurf for the most part alone, though he was taught magic by a wizard named Palladore, who was trapped in stone along with other wizard by a group of druids.
Roughly around 150 years prior to the present time set in the cartoon show, Papa Smurf became the father of about 98 young Smurfs, though it is not known how they were raised with Papa Smurf as their sole parent. They first met Gargamel when he was in his late teens, which inspired his desire for revenge against them when they had foiled his first plot to capture them. Years later, Gargamel created Smurfette to be his weapon to destroy the Smurfs, but when Smurfette expressed her desire to become a real Smurf, Papa Smurf used his magic to change her into a real Smurf, thus foiling Gargamel's plans.
From that time on, other Smurfs have joined the group, and the Smurfs have met other humans which included their constant allies Sir Johan and Peewit. Eventually seventeen Smurfs have been trapped in time due to the misuse of the time crystals, leaving the future of the Smurfs uncertain from that point on.

In his plea for a lesser sentence for bank robbery, this man says he feels terrible for scaring the New England bank teller.
20 year old Colt Schneider is sentenced to 7 years for his role in a bank hold up in New England, North Dakota.
Schneider was sentenced this afternoon in U.S. Federal Court in Bismarck.
A federal jury convicted Schneider in August of the crime.
He and Johnner Ward, Jr. were charged with bank robbery and use of a firearm in a crime of violence for the robbery at the American Bank Center October 18th 2012.
The men drove from Rapid City, South Dakota to the bank in New England.
Schneider and Johnner were arrested in Florida and Texas following the robbery.
Judge Daniel Hovland's sentence was below the recommended sentencing guidelines for bank robbery.
Hovland based his decision partially on the fact that Schneider was assaulted by a cell mate in a federal facility in Oklahoma City shortly after his arrest.
The co-defendant, Ward is serving an 11 year sentence for the crime.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

Ombersley residents left disconnected after collision damages telegraph pole
11:46am Sunday 11th May 2014 in Local
RESIDENTS in Ombersley have voiced their concerns after being left without landlines or internet access following the removal of a telegraph pole.
The pole, on Owl Hill, Lineholt, Ombersley, was damaged after being hit by a car on May 2, and BT engineers came out to site to assess the damage.
The pole was subsequently removed, and the stump was left, protected by a traffic cone.
Unfortunately the removal of the pole has meant that a number of nearby residents have had their landlines and broadband connections cut off while they wait for the pole to be replaced.
One resident, Jeff Smith, said: "They could have taken measures to repair the pole but instead they have just left it and buggered off for a week. They haven't told us anything and there are elderly people here who are totally cut off. There must be about 40 people who have been affected and it's just really poor."
A spokesman for BT Openreach said they had received 15 fault reports regarding the pole. They added: "Engineers went along straight away to make the area safe. They need to replace the damaged pole and install two new spans of overhead cable measuring tens of metres.
"It is regrettable when Openreach suffers any kind of damage to its network. Our priority is always to restore services to those affected as quickly as possible, which is what we are doing in this case.

Potential recruits for Leach and WSU per Scout
9 players visiting this weekend per scout.com 7 of whom list other BCS offers on their pages. Pretty impressive Mr. Leach. This doesn't include Kenny Lawler who now lists us in his top 3. This would be a mighty fine way to finish up a recruiting class, I am personally crossing my fingers for Eldrenkamp from Bellevue choosing the Crimson and Gray.

Cute, sparkley but dissapointed
By GemGirl
from Toronto
Cute, good sparkle, simple little ear bobs I wore often over the first two weeks, until I noticed a stone missing. VERY DISAPPOINTED. It is hardly worth the postage to send them back to get the stone replaced. Win some, lose some.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

These are a WOW
By Rhonda b.
from Orangeville, Ontario
Wear these continuously, whether dressed up or down and have had so many comments on them. Just love these and all of the diamonelle line
( 1 of 1 customers found this review helpful)
Arriving home after a long day and opening the Diamonelle packaging was a treat in itself. The blue and silver satin sac arranged like a flower was charming. The earrings, like Diamonelle promises, are great sparklers. The design is not done justice with the photo - the filigree on the back of the earring and the 'hidden post'make the earrings light and very comfortable to insert and wear all day. They are going to be a staple. I love them. Beautiful stones and lovely design. I've worn them once and have already received many compliments..."wow, nice earrings"

Name's the thing
I see the nonstop panic that has gripped the right wing in this country ever since the nomination of Barack Obama as Democratic candidate for president has reached new depths of fantastical paranoia. Not content with wasting time and tax dollars continuing to investigate a nonexistent "cover-up," now they play the impeachment card because a few IRS employees in Cincinnati followed policy guidelines a little too zealously.
Let's review: The primary organizational function of groups seeking a 501(c)(4) tax-exempt status is clearly designated as "social welfare," not "politics." If you use a highly politicized name for your "social welfare" organization, the chances are higher that your application will be looked at more closely than one from a group with a less-polarizing name. Regardless, of the 75 groups that were examined more closely than others, not a single one of them was denied tax-exempt status.
The only "scandal" here is the sad fact that Citizens United has corrupted the system so grotesquely that maintaining IRS policy is called a violation of the First Amendment.
If you want the tax-exempt status granted to nonpolitical organizations, you might think twice about giving yourself a politically charged name. I'm just saying.

|The 'A Team' singer Ed Sheeran
The 'A Team' singer - who worked with the American star on her latest album 'Red' - revealed he nearly impaled her with the dangerous weapon as they took off on her private jet.
He said: "It's like a real sword. I got it shipped over, shipped over to Omaha, so I was bringing it back to Nashville and I think [Taylor] and her crew were weirded out by it anyway. They were just like, 'Why does Ed have a sword?'
"The plane is kind of taking off and [the sword] started sliding down and I was like, 'No!' It was just about to impale Taylor."
The 22-year-old star - who was given the special sword by director of the 'Lord Of The Rings' franchise Peter Jackson - is currently touring with Taylor in North America and he said he's finding it "incredible" hanging out with the singer's dancers.
He told MTV News: "You need to start going out with dancers because they turn every situation into an episode of 'Glee'. It's incredible.
"You're just there and you kind of walk in and suddenly it's strike a pose on the table and then do this kind of dance, and there's like one girl who's grinding up against this old harmonica player and they're all doing these dances."

The higher-ups of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets aren't shedding much light on rumors that the Rambling Wreck might pull up stakes and bolt the ACC for the Big Ten.
Ken Sugiura of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution cites school spokesman Matt Nagel and acting GT athletic director Paul Griffin as waving aside the whispers of more conference realignment. Griffin is quoted as being unaware "of any communications between university leadership and the Big Ten or any other conference. He further told Sugiura that Georgia Tech president Bud Peterson has denied any communication with the Big Ten to Griffin, "nor does he expect [there to be] any."
The rumors come in the wake of heavy realignment in the college landscape, with Maryland and Rutgers bolting the ACC and Big East, respectively, for the Big Ten (which has now swelled to 14 teams). Meanwhile, the ACC will add Pitt, Syracuse and Louisville to its ranks, with Notre Dame joining as a non-football (and non-hockey!) member.
The Yellow Jackets are taking on the Florida St. Seminoles this Saturday in the Dr. Pepper ACC Football Championship at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.

Living in Middle-Earth is a column about non-playable character's homes in Lotro. Each week we'll discover a new location with a distinctive way of life and decoration style, looking at the little details we often pass by.
Forochel, home of the Lossoth people. Despite their pretty harsh living conditions, the Lossoth managed to establish some great villages in northern Eriador. Actually, they developed numerous different ways of building a home;here are some of them!
The classical teepee, or smoking tent. Some us already have one in our backyard, hehe.
Longhouses and tents made out of furs and animal skins.
Now, that counts as a house, right? Look look, there's small tent on its back! Well, whatever, I say it's a house. And I want to live in it.
Otherwise one of the most interesting feature of Lossoth's constructions are their door. Have you seen how amazingly detailed they are? Different furs, seashells to make small flowers, teal fabric; you can even see the leather lace that was used to sew it together!
There's also those great banners unique to the Lossoth. My favourite is the wolf pelt one.
Finally a peek at their home interiors, with comfy treated rugs and pelts to warm your feet up.
And look at all the pretty lights inside the main hall, I love it.
That concludes our visit to Forochel. If you have any suggestions to make on where we should head next, please send a mail or share a comment!

Butcher, Russell D.
Adult Nonfiction QL84.2 .B88 2003
Summary: Published for the 100th anniversary of the National Wildlife Refuge system in 2003, this guide describes each of the more than 530 refuges nationwide, their habitats, the species of birds and mammals to be found there, and general information about accessibility and facilities. In addition, former U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Lynn Greenwalt provides a brief history of the refuge system, beginning with Theodore Roosevelt's establishment of the first wildlife refuge at Pelican Island, Florida in 1903. The book also discusses "proposed and possible" new refuges, threats to the refuges (such as the prospect of drilling for oil at the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska), and lists the nonprofit organizations that support the work of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in its management of the refuges. Ideal for the casual wildlife watcher or hunting enthusiast, America's National Wildlife Refuges will prove to be a worthy tribute to an American institution as it begins its second century.

I'd like to preface this post by saying that usually I am of the belief that hitting coaches, like pitching coaches, have minor impacts on the actual performance of the players. I am not trying to blame the offensive woes of the Mets solely on Howard Johnson, but I do think there is a strong possibility that his "coaching" has been a detriment to this team.
The main topic I'd like to cover with regards to the struggling offensive performances all around this year is players plate discipline. Generally speaking, I'd like to make the assumption that hitters have a better chance of hitting a baseball, and hitting it well (ie good contact and for power), if they are swinging at pitches in the strike zone; therefore not swinging at pitches outside of the zone. Also, that drawing more walks (which can only be done by not swinging at pitches outside of the zone) is advantageous to offensive production. After the jump I will compare the plate discipline of several of the Mets key hitters in 2010 to years past. All my stats are derived from FanGraphs and I will be primarily looking at BB%, wOBA, O-Swing (percentage of pitches outside of the zone swung at), and Swinging-Strike rate.David Wright:
David Wright has had stretches this year where he has been absolute crushing the ball (the month of June really sticks out), but overall his performance has been lackluster to say the least (for him at least). David's O-Swing% is 31.2% which is drastically higher than his career rate of 21.6%. Even last year when David started striking out significantly more often his O-Swing rate was still 21.5%. This has resulted in a 10.4% Swinging-Strike Rate (7.4% for his career), 10.6% walk rate and 20.2% LD% (line drive rate). In recent years (the past 3) David has posted walk rates of 12.0% 12.8% and 13.2% (2009, 2008, 2007 respectively). As well, his line drive rates of the same period were 25.7%, 25.6%, and 23.2%. All in all, David Wright is drawing fewer walks and hitting fewer balls hard resulting in a wOBA of .365 which is 23 points less than his career average of .388.
I don't think that anyone was expecting Bay to have the same performance this year as he did the last 2 with Boston, but at the same time I also don't believe that it was to be expected that his performance would decrease nearly as much as it has. Bay's O-Swing this year is 27.1% (20.1% for career), but his BB% has only seen a hit of 11% (12% for his career). The biggest difference in Bay's performance has been his lack of power, .402 SLG (.508 career) and 5.1% HR/FB (15.8% career). This can partially be explained by his playing in Citifield as compared to Fenway last year, but even so a dropoff of this proportion is still significant.
Throughout Jose's career he has been somewhat known as being prone to swinging at a lot of pitches and not drawing enough walks, but that was beginning to change in recent years. The past 3 years Jose's BB% were 10.8%, 8.7%, 10.1% which are at or above the league averages each year (roughly 8.5% each year). This year Jose has a O-Swing rate of 31.9% (25.7% career) resulting in a walk rate of only 5.2%. Despite hitting for a good batting average and power, for a leadoff hitter with his speed (.285 BA and .139 ISO), Reyes' OBP is only .324 resulting in a .331 wOBA. The past 3 seasons have seen Reyes post OBP's all within a few points of .355. For Reyes to be an effective leadoff man (and utilize his speed) he needs to be getting of base more often.
Luis Castillo:
Despite being miserable at defense and not hitting for any power whatsoever for his career Castillo has made a living in Baseball by not making many outs. He's done this by swinging at fewer pitches outside of the zone than most any player in baseball which has lead to high BB rates. For his career Castillo has an O-Swing rate of 12.4% which has never been above 13% twice since 2002. In 2010 Castillo is swinging at 17.3% of pitches outside. While Castillo's BB% hasn't taken a drastic drop his LD% is merely 13.4% resulting in a .236 BA and .335 OBP.
I do not want to look at Beltran's numbers specifically due to such small sample size, but so far they are showing the same trend. Swinging at more pitches outside of the zone is an obvious trend for the Mets key offensive figures this season. Whether or not this is the root of their offensive struggles is debatable, but the greater point I would like to touch on is the reason why. It seems very odd for players who have been in the league for as long as these players have to suddenly start swinging at a lot more bad pitches, and it is even more peculiar for them all to be doing this in the same season. Could it be that their coaches have instructed them to do this we won't know unless one of the players or coaches actually says it is the case, but it does seem to be very plausible to say the least.

Businesses targeted in smash and grab robberies in Waterford Twp.
(WXYZ) - Waterford Township Police are trying to figure out who has been breaking into businesses there in the last few weeks.
During the overnight hours, there have been smash and grab robberies at businesses along and around Dixie Highway.
Heidi and Darren Graunstadt have owned LA Cafe and Java for 27 years.
A few hundred dollars were taken after someone threw a rock through the front door and made their way inside last week.
"Seems like it's been getting worse lately.. don't know if it's the bad economy or whatever," says Darren Graunstadt.
One smash and grab robbery was caught on surveillance video at a Jimmy John's store.
Investigators aren't sure if the same person is behind all of the break-ins.
If you know who's responsible please call Waterford Township Police.
