Steve Watson, Infowars.net
March 12, 2010
Infowars, Prisonplanet websites were mysteriously blocked at the same time as government filter was switched on
The government of New Zealand has quietly implemented an internet filter and is urging the leading ISPs in the country to adopt the measure, in a move that would give the authorities the power to restrict whichever websites they see fit.
The New Zealand Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) reportedly turned on the internet filter on February 1st without making any announcement, prompting critics to charge that the measure had been activated in stealth.
"It's a sad day for the New Zealand internet" a spokesperson for online freedom lobby Tech Liberty told the leading New Zealand tech website Computerworld.
"It establishes the principle that the government can choose to arbitrarily set up a new censorship scheme and choose which material to block, with no reference to existing law," the group states.
The filter is already being used by leading internet providers Maxnet and Watchdog, with the government refusing to comment on which other providers are set to take up the technology similar to that used by the Communist Chinese government and the ruling regime in Iran.
Tech Liberty says that it has received inside information that other companies including Telstra Clear, Telecom and Vodafone plan to implement the filter. Other companies including Orcon, Slingshot and Natcom have reportedly said they will not implement the filter, however, Orcon CEO Scott Bartlett has said it is not accurate to say that Orcon will not be taking part.
A New Zealand government spokesman commented "We anticipate all major ISPs will embrace this development as they have the many other filters they employ on the internet for a range of purposes."
Around the same time the government's Internet filter went live, Infowars began receiving notification from readers in New Zealand that their access to Alex Jones' flagship websites Infowars.com and Prisonplanet.com had been suddenly blocked.
The websites were blocked at the ISP level by all companies using Asia Netcom for their international internet traffic. These companies included Woosh, Telecom, Slingshot and Orcon.
Orcon announced that the loss of access was due to a "technical issue", yet the block was only removed after five days, following a raft of complaints.
Tech Liberty says that filtered material is being kept secret by the New Zealand government, a policy that contravenes established rules on censorship where the Chief Censor is required to publish decisions banning "offensive" material.
There is therefore no way of knowing whether Alex Jones' websites were blocked as part of the government's actions, however the timing of the so called "technical issue" seems an extraordinary coincidence.
The secrecy surrounding the restrictions mirrors government policy in neighbouring Australia where a similar, yet mandatory and wide-ranging, internet filter is being implemented.
Earlier this year, the Wikileaks website published a leaked secret list of sites slated to be blocked by Australia's state-sponsored parental filter.
The list revealed that blacklisted sites included "online poker sites, YouTube links, regular gay and straight porn sites, Wikipedia entries, euthanasia sites, websites of fringe religions such as satanic sites, fetish sites, Christian sites, the website of a tour operator and even a Queensland dentist."
The filter will even block web-based games deemed unsuitable for anyone over the age of fifteen, according to the Australian government.
Australian communication minister Stephen Conroy has said the government would be the final arbiter on what sites would be blacklisted under "refused classification."
Similar internet filtering is being developed for use in the UK and the U.S. — we have covered in depth moves to regulate the internet in both countries.
The official justification for the filters is to block child pornography, however, as the watchdog group Electronic Frontiers Australia has pointed out, the law will also allow the government to block any website it desires while the pornographers can relatively easily skirt around the filters.
The ominous spectacle of major free speech websites going dark in supposedly democratic countries is a shocking portend of what the establishment wants to impose on a widespread basis. Only by screaming bloody murder in defense of the last true outpost of free speech — the Internet — and threatening boycotts and aggressive public relations campaigns can we counter the insidious move to silence the only remaining open forum of lawful dissent.

By Jennifer Hostetter
Boone County —
Part One
The revised Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines have been approved and adopted by the Indiana Supreme Court and went into effect March 1. Many people are wondering what this will do to their parenting time. Do I get more time? Less time? Overnights? Did they change the parenting time for Christmas vacation? This is the first of two columns about the new law.
The revised guidelines are not a basis for modification of any existing parenting time order alone. A current parenting time order will still be enforced per the guidelines that were in effect at the time of the existing order. However, if the parties petition the court for a change, the court may order the parents to use the 2013 guidelines.
The 2013 guidelines encourage parents to create their own parenting plan instead of defaulting to the parenting time schedule established by the guidelines. The guidelines are proposed only as the minimum amount of time a non-custodial parent should spend with his/her child when the parents cannot agree on their own parenting plan. Parents are encouraged to create a parenting plan outside of the guidelines that works best for their family.
Children benefit from parents who are able to communicate and design their own plans that are in the best interests of their children. Parents should "maintain frequent, meaningful and continuing contact with their children." To help with scheduling, the guidelines even have web addresses parents can access to create their own schedule.
The guidelines encourage open communication among parents about their children, specifically regarding school records, health information and extra-curricular activities. Under Indiana Code 20-33-7-2, each parent is entitled to direct access to their child's school records. Also under Indiana Code 16-39-1-7 and 16-39-2-9, both parents have direct access to their child's medical and mental health records. Though both parents have access to their child's medical records, the parent who schedules the doctor's appointment has the responsibility to inform the other parent of the appointment. Also, each parent should notify the other of all school activities and other extra-curricular activities. Parents shall also not interfere with the other parent's involvement in the child's extra-curricular activities.
The guidelines require parents to communicate with each other and not use their child as a messenger. Parents shall also not use their child to exchange financial information and other documents. Parents shall at all times keep each other informed of their home and work addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. If any changes occur in this information, written notice shall be provided to the other party. Parents are also encouraged to promote communication between the child and other parent.
What many people refer to as "The Right of First Refusal" has now been clarified and is called an "Opportunity for Additional Parenting Time." This "opportunity" should only apply in situations when it is practical and fair to both parents and the child. The concept behind this provision is that a child benefits from additional parenting time when a parent's schedule or activities would requires hiring child care.
The amount of time for which a parent may need child care before triggering this provision will vary depending on the facts and circumstances of each individual case. Additionally, a household family member is defined as "an adult person residing in the household, who is related to the child by blood, marriage or adoption." This may include grandparents, step-parents, or other siblings
The next column will discuss changes to the parenting time schedule, including overnights, the new holiday schedule and parallel parenting.

Every year the Indiana High School Athletic Association presents a sportsmanship banner to high schools in Indiana that have incurred no IHSAA by-laws violations during the previous school year, that have had no players or coaches ejected from an IHSAA athletic contest during the previous year and that have a written plan on file that documents the school's commitment to practicing good sportsmanship.
This is a difficult award to win. In fact, only one-third of the IHSAA's 410 member schools earned the right to display a sportsmanship banner for the 2011-12 school year. The IHSAA announced that Rushville Consolidated High School is one of these schools.
"In my 12 years as athletic director, this is our first such honor. It is a great credit to our athletes and our coaches. I believe in the heat of competition our kids are a direct reflection of their coaches. For this we can be very proud," Dave Green said.
One of the most enduring lessons taught by education-based athletics is the importance of practicing good sportsmanship and the significant contribution it makes to our society. Respect for authority, self-control, fairness and civilized behavior are enduring values that strengthen our culture at every level. The IHSAA congratulates and thanks the RCHS student-athletes, all of the coaches, the student body and this entire community for being one of the 137 high schools in Indiana to win this prestigious award.

If you have given up on Nokia, the company sure still believes there are a few tricks left in the hat to launch it to the top.
The Nokia Lumia 1020 has made an appearance on AT&T's inventory list stirring more rumours that the device is the one we have been waiting for- the 41 megapixel camera smartphone with PureView. The inventory list was released anonymously and also suggested that the employees at AT&T have been testing the new Windows phone. It seems AT&T subscribers will be seeing the Nokia Lumia 1020 as part of their list of options before the end of this year.
According to the list, the device will be available in Black, white and yellow and is expected to sell at about $600 off contract. Nokia has been pretty hushed up about the device and the anonymous leak is definitely a way of creating anticipation in the hearts of the public as Nokia hosts another event on the 11th of July for which the slogan is "41 million reasons."
In addition to the inventory list leak, there have been some teasing photos posted on the Flickr page of Microsoft Windows phone manager Joe Belfiore. The pictures were posted on the 29th of June and according to the description given, the high resolution crisp images and texts were taken with a Nokia Lumia 1020.
Just recently, Nokia released the Lumia 928 but it seems that the smartphones are not hitting the mark like they should. At some point, Nokia was one of the top smartphone manufacturing companies but recent news suggest that the company may be in trouble again with the competition eating away at its market share.
Many have attributed Nokia's recent dip in the market to the company's lack of diversification and perhaps the focus on non-premium cell phones that do not exhibit any 'smart' quality. We just think the competition is a whole lot better!
The Nokia Lumia will most likely be unveiled in a couple of days and we look forward to reading more about it. It might be Nokia's ticket back to the top in spite of the saturation in the smartphone sector.

Alright I tried to read other posts about not being able to cum but mine is a little bit different and I hope someone out there can help me out. Also, i am pretty new to sex, first time was this year.
So as far as i know the reason i cant cum is one of two reasons. 1, its a mental thing which will pass in time or the more likely 2, which is i masterbate in a different way not using my hands and therefore am not used to the same feeling(although good) you get from being inside a girl.
i cant remember how i started masterbating this way but it did start before puberty. anytime i had to take a piss if i was alone i kind of just pressed myself against an object and it would put pressure on the area right above where your penis starts(doing all this flacid) and it just felt good so i was a kid and would do that and it felt good so i kept doing it and after puberty doing that would make me cum so if i started to watch porn or anything that turned me on before i would get hard id do this and cum so i never have and still have never came using my hand with a hard on.
Right around january of this year i had sex for the first time using a condom and it felt good but i just couldnt cum and didnt think anything of it really i figured its something you have to get used to. later in the year i stop masterbating the way i did and tried to use my hand and it never really works the best i could get is morning wood in the shower and if i just stimulated the head it felt great to the point my legs would practically give out on me but instead of cumming i would start to piss. so i have had sex recently and whether she is giving me head or we are having sex i can come to the same point as in the shower but im afraid i wont cum but instead piss so i hold back. i dont mind as much because i get pleasure in know she is having a good time and the last time(few days ago) this girl and i were having sex for about 30 minutes and i could not cum, she told me afterwards she came at least 3 times which made me feel good but then she felt like shit saying "sorry i didnt make you cum"
basically, any tips on how to re-train my cock into cumming with my hand so i can in turn cum with oral/sex. also im turning 21 next week and going to vegas so same thing its nice to go for a long time and please the girl but what if she feels bad cause she cant please me and what if she is giving me head and i relax and i dont cum but i start to piss? the only thing i can think of is just to jack off with my hands as much as possible til i get used to it.
cant believe i actually told people about this cause i never have but i hope you guys can help and obviously im desperate for it

This is a beautiful collection of the artist's work, which I occasionally pick up to enjoy. At 160 pages, and subject matter from across the United States and the British Isles, it never ceases to put a smile on my face, and provide a heavy dose of thought. These photographs speak volumes about Sam Furrow's vision. They are serene in their abstraction and sense of space.

It appears that Lyoto Machida will not be getting his rematch with Jon Jones. Instead, the former champion will face Phil Davis at UFC 163 on August 3rd in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Portal do Vale Tudo made the initial report earlier today, but UFC officials have not formally announced it.
Machida (19-3) fought Jones at UFC 140 and ended up unconscious on the mat after not tapping out to a standing guillotine choke. "The Dragon" easily knocked out Ryan Bader in his next fight and was lined up to face Dan Henderson in the magical "number one contender" fight at UFC 157. Machida won by split decision in what was otherwise not an action-packed affair. Dana White said that the winner of Machida/Hendo would get the next title shot, but that doesn't look to be the case.
Davis (11-1, 1 NC) was on the brink of a title shot when he lost to Rashad Evans at UFC on Fox 2 in January of last year. After a two fight series with Wagner Prado, Davis took on Vinny Magalhaes at UFC 159, using his striking to win a unanimous decision.
If this report is accurate then it should just about confirm that Jones will be defending his title next against Alexander Gustafsson at a date TBD.
UFC 163 will be headlined by a featherweight title defense by Jose Aldo against Anthony Pettis.
UPDATE AT 3:20 PM ET: MMA Weekly has confirmed the PVT report.

Most NFL commentators seem to agree that Chan Ochocinco is on the way out along with Carson Palmer now that Cincy has seemingly drafted their replacements. So where might this bull riding, soccer playing, reality tv host, 6 time Pro Bowler WR end up? Well our own D. Orlando Ledbetter thinks we could see him in a Falcons uniform in the near future.
The obvious connection between the two organizations is QB coach Bob Bratkowski who Chad still holds in high regard...
"Coach Bratkowski is the reason why I'm with the Bengals," Ochocinco said after riding a bull at the Gwinnett Arena on Saturday. "He was my coach at the Senior Bowl when I was coming out. He went to bat for me. They weren't going to take me. But from what he saw at the Senior Bowl before the draft is the reason why he stood on the table for me and that's why they drafted me."
This would be a very interesting move for the Falcons to make.
This would obviously be a luxury pick. We don't have a glaring need at WR but adding Chad as a 3rd or 4th option would give us insurance against injury or a lack of production from some of our young or aging receiving options. If we are looking to "win now" adding more potency to our offense certainly fits the pattern of our recent moves. Also, while Chad can be a bit of a distraction, his antics don't appear to have the malice and/or selfishness behind them unlike certain other "diva" WRs. Lastly, we shouldn't underestimate the impact of leaving a dysfunctional locker room and organization behind. Being in Atlanta (around mature, professional guys like Tony G.for example) could actually be good for him.
On the other hand, a major concerns come to mind. Is Chad able to handle being a role player on the field and being paid like one off of it? He's not a clear #1 receiver at this point in his career and certainly wouldn't be treated as one in Atlanta. Dimitroff isn't going to break the bank for the likes of him, but if he came with the same attitude of Tony, who realizes he's near the end of his career and just wants a shot at a ring, it could work.
So any thoughts?

FAYETTEVILLE (WVVA) -- Local developers have been working since 2012 to restore the 19th century Ankrom-Dickerson House as part of the ongoing Henry Street Project.
This past weekend the downstairs business Musical Grounds, a European style coffeehouse, opened to the public.
One of the owners, Joe Dangerfield, says he wanted to use the business as a way to combine his love for classical music with careful coffee brewing techniques.
"What I suggest [to customers] is either the French press or the pour over station with one of our single origin coffees," says Dangerfield. What I usually do, if it's a person who's never had a pour over, I'll invite them back and I'll take them through the whole process. I'll show them. They'll smell it, and when they see it happen, I mean it's pretty incredible. They [say], oh my god, I didn't know coffee could smell like this and taste like this."
For more information you can head to musicalgrounds.com.

The Vikings have already begun the axing of the less than talented players on the roster. OL Butch Lewis and TE Daniel Hardy have been cut from the Vikings. Could this be a move to make room for another 2 Fullbacks? I really don't know. I really didn't see either of these 2 making it out of camp, so the news is really no shock, but is still news none-the-less.
Carry on with your day.

Sometimes you go into an interview hoping to grab just one good morsel of a quote for the story you have to run. Sometimes, an actor will just give it to you.
In the latest issue of Esquire, in the midst of an interview with a very prickly Christian Bale, the actor reveals two things: 1) he's not a cinephile and 2) he loves "Beverly Hills Ninja." That's right, Bruce Wayne loves Chris Farley.
The actor calls the late comedian a "phenomenon" and reveals that he watched "Beverly Hills Ninja" two nights in a row and "cried with laughter." Amazing. So if you need to know what to get Bale for Christmas just click right here. But seriously, someone also needs to get him copies of "Bringing Up Baby," "The Philadelphia Story" and "Breakfast At Tiffany's" because he hasn't seen those and thus, has no idea what he's missing. But mostly, we want to see his reaction when Mickey Rooney starts doing his Mr. Yunioshi thing. You can check out the full quote from the interview after the jump:
BALE: You're not talking to a cinemaphile.
ESQUIRE: But I bet you've seen 'Aguirre, the Wrath of God.'
BALE: Yes.
ESQUIRE: 'Blue Velvet'?
BALE: Yes.
ESQUIRE: What else?
BALE: I saw 'The Wild Bunch' recently. I remember being rocked by 'Naked' when that came out — and I hate the pretentiousness of that, referencing a Mike Leigh movie, but it really did fascinate me for some reason.
ESQUIRE: It's a very grungy movie.
BALE: And Chris Farley was just phenomenal. 'Beverly Hills Ninja' will always remain one of my tops.
ESQUIRE: Now you're lying.
BALE: I have watched that movie. One time I sat down and watched it two nights in a row, and cried with laughter both times. The guy just was a phenomenon, and is missed dearly in my household.

We all have our guilty pleasures and/or movies that we inexplicably love more than anyone else on earth. If I told you that Shanghai Knights was one of the best action films of the last decade and Jackie Chan's best film, you'd call me mad, but I've watched it countless times since 2003.

Iceland Apartment Rentals(126)
126 Results
Recent Iceland Reviews
Great location, Clean and Modern
The location was superb. Quiet street but close to everything. No need for a car. Apartment was tastefully decorated, modern and clean. Would definitely stay here again.
Perfectly Located
We are a family of two adults and four children between 6 and 13. This apartment was perfect as a base for our stay in Reykjavik. It is just across from the walkway that runs along the bay and a block away from the very quant downtown. It is not a long walk to the harbour were we went whale watching. There was free parking for the rental car we had right in front of the condo. The kitchen is well stocked and the two bedroom apartment had plenty of room for our downtimes. The owner was very responsive to any questions we had which was appreciated. We would definitely stay here again.
Great Stay
Stayed here on my first trip to Iceland. I was accompanied by my wife, daughter and granddaughter. The owners were great to deal with and the location was excellent. It was in a quiet residential area, but within easy walking distance of downtown Reykjavik. The apartment was well equipped. I would definitely stay here again.

Hydrangea macrophylla Lady in Red
Count on three colorful seasons from this pretty lacecap developed by Dr. Michael Dirr. Large, deep green leaves display their red stems and veins, then turn burgundy in fall. The flowers open with pinkish white outer petals surrounding a rosy pink center on alkaline soils, light blue outer petals with centers maturing to deeper blue on acid soils. Blossoms retain their color even in the midsummer heat. Multi-stemmed, compact, with good mildew resistance. PP 15,175
Hydrangea is a valuable genus of some 100 species of shrubs and vines grown for their large and very showy flower heads. Hydrangeas are at their best in summer and fall -- quiet time for most woody plants -- and are worth having for that reason alone. For information on Hydrangea care, click on Growing Guide & Tips.

Nineteen students from Brazil have joined the New Paltz community as part of the Brazil Scientific Mobility Program, a Brazilian government program that provides scholarships to undergraduate students in mostly STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and math) to study in the United States for one year.
The students were welcomed by President Donald Christian and Provost Philip Mauceri at a reception on Oct. 2. A keynote speech was given by Frederico Menino, coordinator of the Department of Educational Cooperation at the Consulate General of Brazil in New York. Sally Crimmins Villela, assistant vice chancellor of global affairs for SUNY; Bruce Sillner, dean of the Center for International Programs; and Connie Perdreau, director of the Haggerty English Language Program, also addressed the students. Each of the students also had an opportunity to introduce themselves and present a faculty member with a pin depicting the flags of Brazil and the U.S.
Participating students are here to study chemical engineering, electrical engineering, physics, computer science, mathematics, and graphic design. "At SUNY New Paltz, enrollments in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics have nearly doubled in the last five years, and we are pleased and proud that we are able to share the excitement of that growth with students from Brazil," Christian said. "Much of the best science being done in the world today involves international collaboration, and programs like this will help prepare future scientists who are better equipped to deal with the complex challenges and opportunities that our world faces."
The program is another way that New Paltz has been part of President Obama's "100,000 Strong in the Americas" initiative, which aims to increase the number of cultural and educational exchanges from the United States to Latin America and the Caribbean and vice versa. Over the summer, 21 Mexican university teachers studied English and language teaching methodology in the Haggerty English Language Program at New Paltz.

Morgan Stanley Reiterates Overweight Rating on Symantec Corporation
In a report published Wednesday, Morgan Stanley reiterated its Overweight rating on Symantec Corporation (NASDAQ: SYMC).
Morgan Stanley noted, "A core tenant of our positive thesis on SYMC is that better execution can drive the multiple, and Q3 is another step in this direction with billings, rev. margins, and cashflow (OCF) all outperforming, both the Americas and EMEA accelerating and OCF returning to growth at +15% YoY on the back of cost discipline. Con. currency (cc) non-GAAP org. rev. growth of +4% YoY is the best growth rate seen over 6 Qs, while better execution drove modest cc billings growth of +2% vs. our (1%) est. SYMC will set a conservative bar for Q4 and F14 at its event today, but we continue to believe a) our billings target of (2%) YoY in Q4 is not demanding and b) cons. EPS ests are at least 5-10% too low. With growth and execution improving, the stock still cheap, and nums low, we remain buyers."
Symantec Corporation closed on Tuesday at $20.86.

Considering the Chevron World Challenge is an event put on by his own foundation, chances are Tiger Woods could have been placed in the 18-man field regardless of his ranking. As it is, Woods was barely able to retain his Top 50 World Golf Ranking that made him automatically eligible for an exemption.
The tournament is hosted by the Tiger Woods Foundation, is played at the Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif. and features the most recent winners of the four majors, the top 11 available players in the World Golf Ranking and two sponsor exemptions who are supposed to be in the Top 50 of the rankings. The event is not officially part of the PGA Tour, but the $5 million prize purse does count toward the unofficial PGA money rankings and the event does count in the World Golf Rankings. If Woods had not been ranked in the Top 50, it likely would not have counted for rankings points. Woods actually fell to No. 52 in the world after finishing in 30th at the Frys.com Open, which was his first tournament in about two months, but that was after the field had already been set.
"I had (rankings) points rolling off from '09," Woods said at a news conference in Hollywood. "I had a very good year that year. I won, what, seven times around the world, so all those points are coming off. Unfortunately, I fell quite a bit, and I fell fast. Good news is, by playing next year, I have no points coming off, so I can start rebuilding."
As it is, Woods will be joined by a strong field that will be heavy on Americans. Steve Stricker, Matt Kuchar, Nick Watney and PGA Championship winner Keegan Bradley are all in the field through qualification, while FedEx Cup champion Bill Haas received the other sponsor exemption.
Woods will be looking to win the tournament for a record fifth time, but is also still looking for his first win of the season. Last year, he lost in a playoff to Graeme McDowell. Jim Furyk (2009) and Vijay Singh (2008) won the two previous tournaments.
The four-round, stroke-play tournament tees off on Thursday at 12:30 p.m. Eastern. Golf Channel will carry the first two rounds from 4 p.m.-7 p.m. NBC will cover the tournament over the weekend from 3 p.m.-6 p.m.

The new ZAGGkeys Folio is a mere 6.9mm thin, just more than a quarter of an inch, and only 16.75mm, or about two-thirds of an inch, when it is holding your iPad®. This makes it one of the thinnest keyboards available. But while it is smaller and easier to carry, it actually offers 30% more typing room than the competition. In addition, it features a pivoting hinge that allows you to place your iPad at virtually any viewing angle, just like a laptop screen. Open it up, set it to your preferred angle, and off you go typing in comfort.
The Folio zips along on a powerful battery that will keep it powered for up to three months of regular use between charges*. In addition it offers backlit keys that make typing in low-light areas easy on the eyes, and responsive, island-style keys that provide a natural and speedy typing experience. With these features and more, ZAGGkeys Folio is the all-in-one solution for typing on the go.
*Regular use of two hours per day. Using the backlit feature will impact battery life and may require more frequent charging.

(02/18/13) - Reports of gunshots fired turns into a discovery of what investigators are calling a gambling operation.
Investigators believe a small home in the 4000 block of Morris, in Buena Vista Township, was a place where people could place bets on the Michigan Lottery, without buying an actual lottery ticket.
The Michigan Lottery has drawings everyday, and it appears those numbers were being used by five people to run their own gambling operation.
"They had evidence in the driveway of a shooting," said Det. Greg Klecker, with the Buena Vista Township Police.
Evidence of that shooting was in the driveway of a Buena Vista Township on Friday night, shortly after the Mega Millions drawing. People inside the house told police they didn't need any help.
"They made suspicious movements and things like that, pulled the curtains, and they tried to prevent the officers from checking on the well being of the people inside," Klecker said.
But Detective Klecker says one of the officers saw calculators, money counters and betting pads on a table. Police got a search warrant and found money too - plenty of it.
"We recovered several thousand dollars. We are still evaluating that right now," said Sean Waterman, interim police chief.
"Even a small unit, or a small house like this, hundreds of thousands of dollars go through this home on a daily basis," Klecker said.
Police believe people would place bets before the Michigan Lottery numbers were drawn.
"They can bet as little as a dime or whatever they want, where the Michigan Lottery, it's a set fee, so this is the poor man's lottery, so to speak," Waterman said.
Police had heard information that an illegal gambling operation was being conducted in the area, but they need probable cause to search a home. People who placed bets at the home could also be charged.
"There's no tax on it, that's why it's lucrative," Waterman said.
Four people have been formally charged. Glen Dowdy of Indianapolis, Randy Cooper, Flora Jean Robinson, and Saul Rincher - all from the Saginaw area - were arraigned Tuesday morning.
A fifth person has not been charged yet because she is in the hospital.

Well Kunundrum is in Google's QA process and hopefully it all goes well, and we will get a Feature with them! Even if this doesn't happen, it is still a very exciting thing to have happen for us and so far all our dealings with Google to fix up a couple small issues have been great. I have to say that I have been very happy with the level and speed of communication we have had. In the meantime, we're working on a few more levels to put out another update very very soon, as well (if all works out well) a few more audio tracks!
Work on our new title continues and is coming along nicely. I'm hoping that soon we can post some concept art for you to see and maybe a small teaser trailer!
Stay tuned!

"If this beautiful, expensive home in Brazil is a rockin' with vampire/virgin sex, don't come a-knockin'." That will be the sign Edward puts on the door when he escapes to South America with Bella for their honeymoon in "Twilight: Breaking Dawn," and ever the gentleman, he's going to at least carry her across the threshold before sticking it in fangbanger style. Such a nice guy.
Yes, the first part of the two-film finish to the weepy "Twilight" saga arrives next month, and this is just another taste to get mom and daughter fans everywhere all hot and bothered, as they've been sitting through three movies to see these two pale hotties finally get down. Directed, inexplicably, by Bill Condon, the film will center on the union of Edward and Bella and the subsequent arrival of their demon child. We're not sure what happens to the other characters in this movie, mostly because we don't care enough to try and find out.
Anyway, the celebration of love that is "Breaking Dawn -- Part 1" hits theaters on November 18th. In case you're just getting your feet wet with the franchise, you can endure the screams of the Twihards and catch the first three flicks which return to theaters for limited engagements next month. Clip, pics and assorted odds and sods below. [Digital Spy/Collider]

Thanks for the great clips and awesome pics but you're a douchebag, pull your head out of your ass before speaking, it's apparent you must care because you took enough time to write this and post video's and photos DOUCHE!!!
You do know it is just a movie saga based on a book series Rodie and Sal. Stupid asses!!
rodie | October 26, 2011 7:48 AM
You know, Twilight might be a lot more interesting if these films actually explored just how fucked up psychologically Bella must be in order to willfully choose to become a vampire. But no, the filmmakers seem to say with each installment the answer is simply: "Cuz she luvs him obvs!"
Sal | October 26, 2011 5:45 AM
The other character (Jacob) ends up with the demon baby as his future wife. Yes the daughter of the girl he was in love with in the last 3 movies. This story is SICK!
Britney James | October 26, 2011 3:47 AM
Yes! Yes! Yes! OMG it's almost here! Woooo!

Blues hold off Canaries fightback
Manchester City overcame the controversial sending-off of midfielder Samir Nasri to beat Norwich 4-3 in a thrilling Barclays Premier League clash at Carrow Road.
Edin Dzeko's quick brace put City 2-0 up but Norwich reduced the deficit through Anthony Pilkington's deflected free-kick, before Nasri was shown a red card by referee Mike Jones on 44 minutes for putting his head into the face of Sebastien Bassong.
Sergio Aguero's neat flick made it 3-1 at the start of the second half, before Russell Martin's header reduced the deficit again. Dzeko's shot cannoned off the post and in off goalkeeper Mark Bunn to put the Blues 4-2 up, only for Martin's scrambled effort to set up a grandstand finish.

Design students create new reception at Twickenham Studios
3:00am Saturday 22nd February 2014 in News By Tom Ambrose, Reporter
Twickenham Studios has a brand new reception area, thanks to two student designers.
Full-time diploma interior design students at KLC School of Design, Anna Romanenko and Julie Brownson created the winning design.
Ms Brownson said: "We are thrilled that Twickenham Studios has decided to implement our design for their new reception area.
"Having the opportunity to work with the client and their architects to take the design from paper to reality is a fantastic challenge."
The refurbishment of the reception space is part of a major investment in refurbishing the studios, with the project expected to be completed in a few months.

Enhancing Wikipedia with semantic technologies
Citation: Lian Hoy Lee, Christof Lutteroth, Gerald Weber (2011) Enhancing Wikipedia with semantic technologies. iUBICOM '11: The 6th International Workshop on Ubiquitous and Collaborative Computing (RSS)
Download: http://www.bcs.org/upload/pdf/ewic_ubi11_paper3.pdf
Tagged: Computer Science (RSS) Wikipedia (RSS), semantic web (RSS), semantic technology (RSS)
This paper looks at user interfaces for querying, with an emphasis on ease of use. It presents their "platform for semantic interface enhancements" and shows three examples of enhancements they have made:
- a range query, which is limited by the performance of the underlying database (triplestore); they suggest that histograms and graphs based on range queries would be particularly useful
- an article recommender
- a type-ahead interface like Google Instant
These were evaluated by having 10 people use them over a number of days; the range slider was found to be useful by 9 of the users who wanted to be able to do range search across the Web.
In the introduction and background for the paper, they also explore previous work using two main ideas for searching semantic networks:
- graph pattern builders lik SPARQLExplorer and Disco
- a subtype are relationship finders like Query Builder, Relationship Finder, and iSPARQL
- faceted browser (e.g. Ontogator, OpenLink Software, Neofonie)
and introduce interface evaluation criteria from Lei 2006, who says interfaces should have:
- a gradual learning curve
- expressiveness
- intuitive presentation of results
- low response time
Faceted browsing, they say, is recommended by Hahn et al. 2010 as "the best way of introducing semantic querying capability to the user." They suggest complementing keyword searching, for instance where semantic data is stronger (e.g. formats of multimedia data). Other ideas are to use semantic data to "detect missing or broken links between articles in Wikipedia, and suggest to contributors on how they could be fixed"
They also note various novel applications that could be enabled by semantic technologies, including existing ones such as DBPedia Mobile (Bizer et al. 2009).

Rangefinding deserves further exploration.

COVINGTON - Before schools dismissed for the holiday break, one school club brought a little warmth to residents of Covington Manor nursing home.Indian Creek Middle School's Couture Club brought homemade fleece blankets to residents and gave added warmth to the residents by singing Christmas carols and visiting with them. Each Saturday for more than a month, a group of nine girls in the fashion design club made about 75 fleece throws. "They went through all of the stages (of creating the blankets) - trimming, cutting and fringing - and they also rolled them up, wrapped them in a stocking and put a candy cane in each stocking with it," club adviser Lynne Blanks said. Six of the girls, as well as their parents and club advisers, visited the nursing home to present residents with the stockings, as well as sing holiday songs that they practiced extensively, Blanks said. "They enjoyed it," Blanks said about the students. "And they appreciated it - it was very natural to them ... and they liked the one-on-one interaction." The Couture Club has been in existence for nearly two school years, but this is the first community service project the students have participated in as a club. "I grew up being a Girl Scout and (service projects) are what I've done for years," Blanks said. So after the club got started, Blanks decided to partner with Bethabara Missionary Baptist Church's Missions Ministry for this - and hopefully future - community service projects. "I wanted to incorporate the church, bring it into the school and bring them into the community," Blanks said. "(The students) need to see that life is not just about them and have someone show them this part of life. ... I like to give them the experience of new and different things." Blanks, along with fellow club advisor Charnese Phillips, hope to do at least one community service project with the club each year and maybe more if possible. "They're excited about it, and we'll take advantage of that," Blanks said about the students. When the students aren't working on service projects, they are making homemade clothing and accessories like hair scrunchies, skirts and backpacks, among other items they have made on sewing machines. "I believe in bringing them back to 'old school' because they need it," Blanks said. "They need to have fun and use their creative side. This is part of the arts, but it also brings them into math and other subjects, and they don't feel like they are doing them." In February, the Couture Club plans to participate in its second fashion show during the school's Black History Month program, in which the girls model the homemade clothes they have created throughout the school year. The club makes clothing and items with purchased or donated fabrics. Anyone interested in donating fabric to the club should call Blanks at the school at 770-385-6453. Students interested in joining the club may do so at the beginning of each new school year. Michelle Floyd can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Arizona Cardinals got an early jump on the NFL preseason by playing in the NFL Hall of Fame Game last week, and they will return to the field on Friday against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The biggest storyline for Arizona heading into this game is who will win the Cards' starting quarterback job. Kevin Kolb, who started nine games for Arizona last season, is currently battling John Skelton, who started the other seven games in 2011. Neither played much in Arizona's first preseason game, with Kolb completing 1-of-4 passes for four yards while Skelton completed 4-of-6 passes for 32 yards.
For the Chiefs, the game will mark the return for three key players. Running back Jamaal Charles is back after missing 14 games last season with a torn ACL. Charles rushed for 1,467 yards in 2010 but carried the ball just 12 times in 2011 before going out with an injury. In addition to Charles, safety Eric Berry and tight end Tony Moeaki will also make their returns. Berry tore his ACL in the first game last season, while Moeaki tore his ACL during the preseason.
Game Date/Time: Friday, Aug. 10; 8 p.m. ET
Location: Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, Mo.
TV Schedule: KNXV 15 (Phoenix), KCTV 5 ( Kansas City)
Radio Schedule: Sirius XM channel 88
Odds: Kansas City -3 (via Bovada)

Hey guys, in my philosophy class we have been learning about the idea of wabi sabi: finding perfection in imperfection. We were assigned to write about what is wabi sabi in our own lives and I chose to write about defensive soccer, and Chelsea winning the champions league, I thought you all may enjoy this:
Wabi Sabi
The main goal of soccer is to outscore your opponent. There are many ways of doing this, some prettier than others, many teams such as Barcelona believe that dominating possession and putting as much pressure on the other team's goal as possible is the key to success. Other teams such as Stoke City believe the opposite, to be more reactive and to allow the opponent to overcommit. However they receive an immense amount of criticism because of the defensive style in which they play. In 2004, one of the best managers in the sport, Jose Mourinho, said this about defensive soccer: "As we say in Portugal, they brought the bus and they left the bus in front of the goal. I would have been frustrated if I had been a supporter who paid £50 to watch this game because Spurs came to defend. There was only one team looking to win, they only came not to concede - it's not fair for the football we played." He holds a rather popular viewpoint about that type of soccer. Last year my favorite team Chelsea, won the Champions League using the ultra defensive style of soccer which receives so much criticism around the world. But, despite the criticism, they won, and there was a hidden beauty to the way they played.
As I watched them play I began to realize that there was something about the grit and determination that was attractive. As the announcers on the TV spewed their populist opinions about Chelsea being the harbingers of the apocalypse to the "beautiful game" I became enamoured with the way they were playing. Chelsea would go on to win the championship by penalties, and in the following days I found myself defending the style in which they won it to my friends. Not only was I defending the style in which they won it, I was ultimately defending the art of defensive soccer.
Watching Chelsea win the Champions League was one my first true experience with Wabi Sabi. Although I had never heard of the philosophy before, I felt that I understood the idea of finding perfection in imperfection. While there was nothing attractive about the way Chelsea played to the average fan, I believe that the way the players threw themselves into the path of the ball to block a shot was, in a way, the definition of wabi sabi. Defensive players play a thankless position, one in which a key tackle will get almost no acknowledgement compared to a goal. Yet without the defensive players, the team would surely lose.
I play goalie for my travel and school soccer teams. Much like a defensive tackle, a blocked shot may not receive the same amount of praise that a goal would. However I feel the same amount of pleasure after making a save as a striker would after a goal. Much like how I felt the true meaning of wabi sabi as I watched Chelsea win the Champions League, I feel wabi sabi while I play goalie.
While defensive soccer is widely criticized for its brutishness, there is a beautiful aspect to it. The grit, determination, physical and mental strength required to successfully play this type of defensive soccer is remarkable, and is in itself the definition of wabi sabi. Wabi sabi means finding perfection in imperfection, and while a defensive team such as Chelsea, or a goalie, may never reach the same level of appreciation that a star striker or Barcelona possess, they remain as stark reminders that beauty can be found in even the most unassuming of places.
What do you guys think?

Was digging through my old work folder and came across these roughs from last summer. They were originally going to be shown at a theme-park gallery run by a company that rhymes with "Bisney". Needless to say, there was some weirdness with contract stuff and the project fell through. Thought it would be fun to share these anyhow!

CANFIELD, Ohio - The city of Canfield denies any wrongdoing in a police investigation into rape allegations made against an 11-year-old girl.
The parents of the girl investigated for allegedly sexually assaulting three other 11- year-old girls is suing the city for five million dollars.
Among other things, the suit claims that police interrogated their daughter for five hours without food, drink or rest.
The city issued a statement on Thursday calling the statements in the complaint completely fabricated and not based on reality.
The 11-year-old girl was eventually cleared of charges.
