Xiaomi Launches Mi4 Smartphone In China
Subject: General Tech | July 23, 2014 - 01:40 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: xiaomi, snapdragon 801, smartphone, mobile, LTE, Android 4.4.2
Yesterday, Xiaomi revealed a powerful smartphone called the Mi4 that looks to give the unlocked OnePlus One a run for its money. The new smartphone is launching first in China with an international version coming in the future.
The Xiaomi Mi4 features a 5" 1080p IPS LCD display, 13MP rear camera, and 8MP webcam. A metal band surrounds the outside edges of the phone while a stainless steel frame adds rigidity and protection for the internal hardware. The other bits of the case are plastic, however likely due to weight and signal reception concerns. There is a removable back cover that is available in several different designs and colors. The Mi4 is slightly bulkier than its predecessor at 0.35-inches thick and 149 grams.
Internally, the Mi4 uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC with four Krait 400 CPU cores clocked at 2.5GHz and an Adreno 330 GPU. Further, the smartphone features 3GB of RAM and either 16GB or 64GB of internal storage. It is powered by a 3,080 mAh battery which should provide ample battery life. Wireless connectivity includes dual band 802.11b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, 3G, and LTE. The WCDMA version of the smartphone will be available first with a CDMA version coming next month, and a 4G LTE capable device coming in September.
The smartphone runs Android 4.4.2 with a highly customized MIUI5 user interface. An updated version of the UI, called MIUI6 is reportedly coming in August, but it is unclear how soon Mi4 users can expect an upgrade.
The Xiaomi Mi4 will be available on July 29 for 1,999 Yuan ($322 USD) for the 16GB version and 2,499 Yuan ($403) for the 64GB version. Initially, it will be 3G only, but a 4G LTE capable version of the smartphone is coming in September (presumably for the same price). Even further out, an unlocked international version is said to be available for purchase in the future.
In all, the Mi4 looks to be a decent phone with enough design tweaks and hardware oomph to give existing high end smartphones a run for their money. You do sacrifice micro SD card support and stock Android, but if you can live with that and are in the target market (or can wait for an international version) it is worth keeping an eye on!

Dropbox for Business; to encrypt or not to encrypt?
Subject: General Tech | July 23, 2014 - 01:08 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: dropbox, data privacy, encryption
Dropbox has faced many questions about the privacy of the data held on their service after modified links were shown to successfully connect to private portions of accounts as well as their ability to hand over all your content in readable form to authorities. While for many the lack of encryption is not much of a concern, businesses cannot afford to be so lax with potentially valuable client data stored on Dropbox. This use of Dropbox by businesses is far more common than you may think and may expand with the announcement of Dropbox for Business and the expanded services available for this new service.
For those with security concerns about storing unencrypted data on Dropbox it would seem that the recommendation is to use third party client side encryption software. That does mean that the new search features will not work as Dropbox will be unable to index files as they pointed out to The Inquirer and other media. Dropbox does have a decent reputation for protecting the data they store but for those intending to store proprietary data on the cloud the balance between ease of use and privacy should be considered before moving to any cloud storage provider.
"DROPBOX HAS DEFENDED its record on privacy following allegations by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden that it is "hostile to privacy"."

One year later and the Nvidia Shield becomes a Tablet
Subject: General Tech | July 22, 2014 - 01:58 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: twitch, tegra k1, tegra, shield tablet, shield controller, shield, nvidia, grid, gamestream
Shame on you if you skipped Ryan's review of the new Shield, for those that have and are looking for a second opinion you can check out The Tech Report and other links below the fold. To quickly recap the controller is now optional but you can connect up to 4 simultaneously for group gaming, the built in 8" IPS display is capable of 1920x1200 and you can output video to an external monitor at 1080p. The 192 shader processors on the Tegra K1 SoC inside should have no problems with fast paced action at these resolutions and at launch there are almost a dozen games optimized for the K1. The focus on gaming performance is obvious but the inclusion of DirectStylus 2 for those who want to use the tablet for creating art adds an interesting extra feature to this tablet, especially if it will work with NVIDIA's ShadowPlay streaming technology as live broadcasts of artists drawing has become quite popular in some crowds. It will be very interesting to see this tablet compete against consoles and the soon to arrive Steamboxes.
"Just under a year since the release of the Shield Portable, Nvidia has announced a second member of the Shield family. As expected, it's the Shield Tablet, an Android slate with an emphasis on gaming. Like the Shield Portable before it, the Shield Tablet will sell direct from Nvidia, not from a partner company. The Shield Tablet extends Nvidia's Android gaming focus to a new form factor, making it one of the first tablets anywhere with a fairly pure gaming mission."

Turtle Beach goes long with the Ear Force Z SEVEN Gaming Headset
Subject: General Tech | July 21, 2014 - 05:39 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: turtle beach, gaming headset, Ear Force Z SEVEN, audio
At some time in the very near future, if this naming trend does not reverse itself, the wraparound portion of headphones will have to be enlarged to be able to display the entire brand name legibly. The latest lengthy moniker is the Turtle Beach Ear Force Z SEVEN Gaming Headset with removable unidirectional microphone and Audio Control Unit. The mic is self explanatory but the ACU is an external sound card with voice morphing and headphone equalizer presets and has outputs for PC, Mac and Xbox; it is not a booster amp. Overall Legit Reviews found this headset to be a great generalist but not as good for specific usage such as taking advantage of positional in a game. Read on to see if they peak your interest.
"Turtle Beach is perhaps a name better known amongst console gamers since you can easily find their Ear Force lineup of headsets somewhere close to where the boxed console games are in certain stores. Most Turtle Beach Ear Force headsets are compatible with computers or any electronic device with a 3.5 mm jack nonetheless because most gamers or even most people make due with one set of headphones for all their devices. The Turtle Beach Z SEVEN we have for review is actually part of a much larger family of SEVEN headsets. Read on to find out more about it!"

Metro could soon be retro; Windows 8.1's final patch
Subject: General Tech | July 21, 2014 - 02:12 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: win 8.1, microsoft
Windows 8 and 8.1, non-update 1 version, are already essentially EoL with only limited support offered those rare businesses which deployed the new version of Windows. If the rumours that The Inquirer have been hearing are correct then
Service Pack Update 2 will be arrive on August 12th and herald the end of Windows 8.1 updates a mere two years after release. Win 8.1 U2 will probably be with us for a while, the release of Win 9 is rumoured to be about 12 months away still and the Metro version is likely to appear on mobile devices for a while now. It is extremely unlikely that the Start Menu will be included in this update but for those who are running Win 8.1 U1 it is worth considering turning off Automatic Updates if you are worried about encountering boot issues similar to what happened during the initial push of 8.1 U1.
"MICROSOFT WILL RELEASE the second and final update for Windows 8.1 as part of Patch Tuesday in August, rumours have claimed."

NVIDIA Counts Down to... Something "Ultimate".
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | July 20, 2014 - 03:41 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: shield tablet, shield 2, shield, nvidia
In Europe, NVIDIA set up a simple, official page. Its title is "THE ULTIMATE IS COMING | NVIDIA". On it are the words, "The Ultimate Is Coming" as well as a countdown to 9 AM EDT on Tuesday, July 22nd. At the same time, North Americans get "Ultimate Quest", a text adventure game which ends on -- surprise -- Tuesday with a giveaway of "something big" for the first players who finish.
Allegedly leaked slide - Not Official!
All images credit: Videocardz (and they have more).
What is it? It is very likely the rumored SHIELD tablet, especially considering Videocardz has convincing slides which are definitely made in NVIDIA's style. What made SHIELD so unique was its controller form factor (and NVIDIA's software support). According to the slides, the controller will now be a wireless accessory to the base tablet. What will come standard is a stylus, the "DirectStylus 2 with 3D Paint". This seems like an odd addition, unless they have already planned use cases.
Allegedly leaked slide - Not Official!
As for the tablet? The slides claim Tegra K1, 2GB of RAM, 1920x1200 display, 5MP (HDR) front and rear cameras, and a MicroSD card slot. Previously, leaks suggested a 640x480 front-facing camera, which did not make sense to me. With the original SHIELD lacking a camera, it seemed very odd to relaunch with a bad one. 5MP, especially if it is a good sensor, is much more reasonable (especially for the front-facing one).
Allegedly leaked slide - Not Official!
The leaks also suggest interesting price points, especially for such a powerful tablet. These details can change at a moment's notice, though, so I won't really acknowledge it (apart from embedding the slide below). They do seem to be targeting the end of the month for North America, or middle August for Europe, which is a very quick launch. Then again, it is ready enough to be a prize for a contest which ends on Tuesday.
Allegedly leaked slide - Not Official!
I except we will see how much of this, if anything, holds up on Tuesday.
John Carmack's Replacement at id: Tiago Sousa (Crytek)
Subject: General Tech, Shows and Expos | July 19, 2014 - 05:13 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: quakecon 2014, quakecon, id, crytek
Tiago Sousa was "Lead R&D Graphics Engineer" at Crytek, according to his now defunct Twitter account, "@CRYTEK_TIAGO". According to his new Twitter account, "@idSoftwareTiago", he will be joining id Software to help with DOOM and idTech 6.
A little less DOOM and gloom.
I find this more interesting because idTech 5 has not exactly seen much usage, outside of RAGE. Wolfenstein: The New Order was also released on the technology, two months ago. There is one other game planned -- and that is it. Sure, RAGE is almost three years old and the engine was first revealed in 2007, making it seven-year-old technology, basically. Still, that is a significant investment to see basically no return on, especially considering that its sales figures were not too impressive (Steam and other digital delivery services excluded).
Happy to announce i'll be helping the amazingly talented id Software team with Doom and idTech 6. Very excited :)
— Tiago Sousa (@idSoftwareTiago) July 18, 2014
I also cannot tell if this looks positive for id, after mixed comments from current and former employees (or people who claim to be), or bad for Crytek. The latter company was rumored to be hurting for cash since 2011 and saw the departure of many employees. I expect that there will be more to this story in the coming months and years.
ESPN Carries Valve's The International DOTA 2 Tournament

eSports? Did someone say sports? ESPN is there. DOTA 2 is one of the most popular PC Games, #2 in Raptr's listing, and currently the most played Valve game (by more than a factor of two over Counter-Strike: GO). The International 2014 is their fourth multi-million dollar tournament. This year's prize pool of almost $11 million USD.
And ESPN is broadcasting it on TV through their ESPN3 channel. On Sunday, the second-last day of the tournament, ESPN2 will air "Live from The International" at 11:30 PM EDT (UTC-4). This will have match highlights, discussion, interviews with players, and an interview with Gabe Newell. The tournament will host its grand finals the next day, on ESPN3.

$41,000 Gas Claim Lands Tax Preparer in Court
Posted Apr 26, 2007 2:10 PM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
The U.S. Justice Department claims a Dallas man took $900,000 in fraudulent tax credits on returns he prepared for others since 2006, according to the Dallas Morning News.
A DOJ complaint alleges Farai Mushaninga claimed one woman bought more than 19,000 gallons of gasoline for business reasons, which would have cost $41,000 or nearly 110 times her total income.
The newspaper was unable to reach the tax preparer for comment.
The U.S. Justice Department is taking aim at tax fraud schemes. Since 2001, it has obtained more than 235 injunctions to stop the promotion of such schemes and the preparation of fraudulent returns, according to a Justice Department press release.

Some Friday Questions
by Dino Corvino on May 15th, 2009
This has been a tough week in Central Wisconsin. We have an wildly increasing murder and domestic violence rate compared to prior years, local scandal is reaching pandemic scale, and well we have what was initially thought to be a pandemic but now is appears to be a lot of similarly sick people, but we might turn that into a pandemic once flu season starts. So, maybe we should look to Friday Questions for a little relief.
1. Who do you consider a mentor? We all model ourselves or have people guiding us, who has guided you or been an inspiration to you? Give thanks to those that got us here.
2. What is your favorite song to sing? I think it is fair that most human beings entertain a love of singing in private, and some in public, so do you have something that you truly like to sing? If you are a performer, what song has meant a lot to you? And why?
3. Are you carrying h1n1 flu around with you?
4. What is your favorite color?
5. What is your favorite literary experience? Or, what is your favorite book?
6. Do you have a favorite magazine? Recently someone gave me an old issue of Vanity Fair, and I sat and read it. I realized how amazing Vanity Fair is, and how many magazines pale in comparison.
7. Do you think our local news media does a good job in covering the events of the day here in Central Wisconsin?
Have a good weekend.

It's probably wrong but after a few minutes of looking at lots of different chickens I started to feel hungry and thought "I could really eat a roast chicken".

'Operation Write Home' says 'thank you' to the troops with handmade cards
PHOENIX - When it comes to supporting U.S. troops, there's saying "thank you," and then there's really showing it.
Volunteers in Phoenix spent their Saturday working on a thousand "thank you" and various other cards for our country's troops fighting overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Jane Rappleyea runs a craft business with "Stampin' Up." She and many other patriotic Arizonans cut, glued, and designed beautifully decorated cards which will soon be mailed around the world.
The cards are made for the troops to use to write home to their families and friends.
For our country's armed service members, 11-year-old volunteer Wyatt Norton said it was the least they could do.
"I think they're really cool because they help save our country and give us freedom," Norton said. "It's nice every once and a while for them to get something that shows that we appreciate them."
All of the supplies, cards, and time were donated by Rappleyea.
You can find out about getting involved with Operation Write Home, or just learn about unique arts and crafts ideas here at Rappleyea's website.

The Stanley Cup has had a busy 72 hours or so since the Los Angeles Kings won it on Monday night. We've seen some images from places like TMZ of the Cup out at Hollywood bars and we've seen clips of the Cup at Dustin Brown's house, where his kids blew chocolate milk bubbles in it.
But that's just a fraction of the Cup's full schedule since Game 6.
The party started at the Lexus Club inside Staples Center before moving to a bar in Hermosa Beach. It spent the night and the next day at captain Brown's house before moving on to appearances on both The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel Live.
On Wednesday night, the team took the Cup to Dodger Stadium, posed for a photo with both the Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim before throwing out about 30 first pitches. The Cup went out to the bars afterwards and according to one Kings player, they'll be heading to Las Vegas after Thursday's parade.

BRICE PRAIRIE, Wisconsin (WXOW) - Spring is just around the corner, and wildlife will be migrating back to our area...or coming out of hibernation.
While waiting for their homecoming, the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge hosted an event Feb. 23 to teach kids how animals survive the harsh winter months.
The event included a presentation given by a ranger, as well as a hike in the prairie to try and spot some of those animals.
Another family-friendly event is planned there March 2. The Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge will team up with the Myrick Park Ecopark, the Sierra Club, area colleges, and other organizations in celebration of conservationist Aldo Leopold.
On Saturday, the visitor center will have guided prairie walks and nature journaling tutorials starting at 11 a.m.
All events are free and open to the public.

If you volunteer or work at your local shelter or spay/neuter clinic, or are involved in rescue work to help animals in your community, we've got a couple of questions for you...
Q. When is a paper plate not just a paper plate?
A. When it's a make-shift E-collar for kittens who've just been spayed or neutered! Time- and money-savers, paper plates are great for use in foster homes, where you may not always have access to E-collars (especially late at night!), and can be used in shelter clinics when a quick E-collar is called for.
Q. What can you put in a baby pool other than water?
A. Puppies! Easy to clean, disinfect and reuse, baby pools are perfect for use in a shelter setting as a safe and sanitary area to contain pups, as well as for providing mom easy retreat for some R&R.
Q. Does saving animals' lives knock your socks off?
A. Baby socks can be used to keep paws warm while animals are under anesthesia and recovering from surgery, as shown here.
Seeing a common theme? These everyday items can make life a little easier for the homeless animals you help care for, and can go a long way to stretch precious dollars for your local agencies, many of which rely on volunteers and animal advocates in the community.
With a little help from shelters all around the country, the team at ASPCApro, ASPCA.org's sister website for animal welfare professionals, has put together a downloadable guide that's free for shelter and rescue staff and volunteers, and anyone else involved in helping their community's animals.
From Trash to Treasure, Shelter Edition features 16 DIY projects, including those shown above, using various repurposed and recycled materials—everything from carpet scraps to yogurt cups!
Click here to get your free Trash to Treasure, Shelter Edition guide today, and please forward this blog to any animal advocates, shelters and rescue groups that may be interested—a little creativity can go a long way to save lives (and money!).
Chicken Scratch is an ASPCA Blog feature that highlights interesting news about farm animals and farm animal welfare.
- We made ourselves heard! The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has listened to the American public and dropped language from a new poultry slaughter inspection rule that would have increased slaughter line speeds. We sure are relieved, but line speeds are still moving way too fast. The ASPCA was quoted in The New York Times, explaining: "It's not a victory for consumers, workers or animals. [The USDA] maintained the status quo of line speeds that already move too fast." Thanks to all our supporters who spoke up on behalf of chickens and turkeys!
- Something to squawk about…a new trend in "farm to counter"? The New York Times highlights a growing segment of fast-food chains that are shunning factory farming and investing in more sustainable and humane food sources.
- In a disappointing ruling, a court decided the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not have to hold hearings on the safety of routine antibiotic use on factory farms. The FDA should listen to its own advice from the 1970s that routinely administering certain antibiotics has "not been shown to be safe." We're glad to see three U.S. senators (Dianne Feinstein, Elizabeth Warren and Kirsten Gillibrand) are continuing to push the FDA to take the issue seriously.
- We always knew pork lobbyists were aggressive, but this is taking it to the next level. A South Carolina pork lobbyist was recently arrested trying to enter the U.S. Capitol with a gun. The president-elect of the National Pork Producers Council might be walking on eggshells as he's now facing a potential felony charge.
- Welcome to the neighborhood! An urban homesteader in New York City introduces his neighbors and landlords to his chickens.
The ASPCA and the New York City Police Department are reporting significant progress in the fight against animal cruelty since January 1, when the NYPD took the lead role in responding to all animal cruelty complaints in NYC and the ASPCA expanded its direct care support for its victims.
Through June 30, there were 70 arrests and nearly 200 animals rescued and treated by the ASPCA, an increase of nearly 160% and 180%, respectively, over the same period last year.
The record-breaking increases are a result of accelerated and widened police responses to alleged animal abuse complaints, as well as the ASPCA's increased direct care support for animal cruelty victims, including medical treatment, behavior assessments and rehabilitation, and housing and placement.
"The clear success of this partnership underscores the incredible impact that can be achieved when law enforcement and animal welfare groups collaborate," says Matthew Bershadker, President and Chief Executive Officer of the ASPCA.
"We are protecting some of New York City's most vulnerable residents by enforcing laws against animal cruelty," says Police Commissioner William J. Bratton. "The NYPD will continue this extremely worthwhile partnership with the ASCPA, and we look forward to our continued success."
The ASPCA has increased our assistance to law enforcement officials in the form of forensics work, comprehensive legal services, field assistance, and ongoing training and educational materials for officers. All eight NYPD patrol boroughs, several detective boroughs, the Housing Bureau, the Transit Bureau, and the Legal Bureau—as well as a number of assistant district attorneys—have been trained by ASPCA staff with extensive NYPD or New York City prosecutorial experience.
To report animal cruelty in any of the five boroughs, please call 311 (911 for crimes in progress) or submit an online complaint.

Your Letters: Linda Wertheimer's Fruitcake Recipe
Hear this

Reported by
NPR Staff
Among the letters we received this week, many listeners shared their love of autumn in response to guest host Linda Wertheimer's essay on the simple joys of the season.
"I connected immediately with Linda's essay on autumn. Her appreciation for a singular maple leaf, the claiming of this ideal time of year between Halloween and Thanksgiving," wrote Michael Ehl of Issaquah, Wash.
That essay included one of Linda's childhood memories of the season — the house filled with the scent of bourbon as her mom made fruitcakes for her dad's customers at his neighborhood grocery store.
That prompted Gary Cooke of Seattle to write, "As a fan of that much-maligned food group, the fruitcake, I wish you would share the recipe. ... All day today, I've been trying to imagine the aroma of lemons and bourbon rising from a light golden cake."
Imagine no more; here's the recipe. It originally made 40 fruitcakes, but Linda's mother slimmed it down before she passed it on.

text: Paul Kampf is new to the game of writing and directing and has obviously been influenced by some filmmakers who tamper with the story and use flashbacks and flash forwards to enhance the richness of the theme line. In the case of BROTHERS THREE: AN American Gothic these borrowed techniques serve to confuse rather than enhance the appreciation of the film: the viewer is left with a feeling that too much is being taken for granted as far as additive information and too little attention is paid to character development and direction. The result is a bumpy ride of a movie that is in need of some postproduction surgery to make it appeal. In a desolate forest cabin we meet New York lawyer Peter (Patrick Wilson) who has been summoned to this childhood 'home' by his brothers - the older Rick (Neal McDonough) and the younger, mentally challenged Norman (Scott Michael Campbell). Rick is sullen and angry, Norman is pitifully confused and abused, and Peter tries to make sense of the reunion. The boys' father (John Heard) is dead, leaving a will dividing his meager belongs among the three brothers. Through a series of confusing time changes in the guise of artistic flashbacks we discover that their mother is dead and that funeral attendance did not include the entire family, that Norman was the product of a drunken liaison with Loren (Melora Walters) who died at the hands of the father, and about other evidences of extreme family dysfunction. We also slowly discover the dark truths of the death of the alcoholic father, an incident that was brutal, but when the truth is revealed it unites the three brothers. All of this is played out in the filthy cabin where most of the time is spent in imbibing beer and in fights both real and playful. At times we are not sure whether we are in the present or the remembered past, and instead of adding to the drama, this somewhat amateurish manipulation leaves the audience confused. The acting level of Wilson, McDonough, Campbell and Heard has some fine moments and some extended moments that seem like tired adlibing. Tighter control from the writer/director would have helped - especially in the editing room.

Wes Prankard
"Hi, I'm Wes Prankard and." For Wes, the journey began January 2010 when his dad returned from a trip to Attawapiskat. Over dinner, he shared stories and pictures of people living in third-world conditions. The fact that his dad didn't leave Ontario to witness these living conditions was unfathomable to Wes, who immediately set out to do something. Camping out for 24 hours during March break in 2010, Wes raised $6000.00 and 12,000 pounds of food and clothing to assist the people of Attawapiskat. What followed was a trip to meet the community, when Wes realized that there were no playgrounds there. Wes contrasted that to the 55 playgrounds in his home town and he wondered how that was fair. A $25,000 grant from the Pepsi Refresh Project was the start of Northern Starfish; an organization dedicated to bringing equality to First Nation Kids in the area of Education, Health and Play. His mission is to build a playground in every northern community in Canada that doesn't have one, and he accomplished the first step this summer in Attawapiskat. Wes's media and speaking credits would be admirable for someone three or four times his age. One of his favorite things is speaking to groups of any age - challenging, inspiring and encouraging them to make a difference. There is a quote he likes to use from Helen Keller: "I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do every thing, I will not refuse to do something that I can do."
Adrian Petry
Adrian Petry is the Public Programmer at the St. Catharines Museum and Welland Canals Centre where he shares the history of the City of St. Catharines with residents and visitors to encourage connections between the public and the heritage in their community.

SPOKANE, Wash. - Here's some of what you're saying about the baby killed in Hillyard.
Crux Bong Toker: Thats horrible, can we beat him to death?
Jada Lester: He should have been lockedup after the 1st kid he almost killed...maybe that would have prevented this death. *ugh
Maureen Baxter Douglas: there was more than one......oh......what the crap.....
Crux Bong Toker I wonder if this will help their investigation? Why wasn't he in jail for the first time?
Maureen Baxter Douglas: And so he was with this mother when he beat the other child.....man
Jada Lester: @ Maureen...Makes you sick doesn't it :-(
McGovern said this is not the first time Cooley has been a suspect in a child abuse case. Detectives are still investigating a case back in May of 2010 where Cooley is accused of beating a 6-month o...ld baby. The baby survived, but was left blind and with partial brain damage.
Shellie Emmett Hazelton: this really hurts my heart I can not imagine anyone doing this to a child that poor baby may he RIP and may God give his family some sort of peace and strength =(
Abagail Dodge: I feel so sorry for the baby's mom!
Cathye Bordwell: Tragic, what a monster...
Chelsea Melchisedeck: Oh my goodness... Why in the world is he even allowed to be around children! And what was this mom thinking!
Michele Boisoneau: If a child is bugging you this much, why not walk away for a few minutes, rather than hurt an innocent child? I just dont understand how people can do such horrific things to children.
Sonja Bakonyi: Unfortunately it is too late for that poor baby, however he WILL get his in prison. This is about as much justice as we could minimally hope for.
Jeri Humphreys: This kind of stuff makes me physicly ill! I can not began to imagin the pain the mother is going though right now... If it were me the guy would be lucky that the cops got to him before I did! I would end up in prison over this in a heart beat! My that poor child RIP and the mom find some sort of peace. May that man rot in prison for the rest of his life!
Danee VanVleet McGillivray: he shouldve been in prison after the first incident.. the judicial system is more worried about protecting the rights of the accused than children. and who are these women who ARE LEAVING THEIR KIDS WITH THEIR BOYFRIENDS?
Lindsey Deseve-Dunbar: How much can a 1 year old baby bother someone??!! My heart just broke reading this :(
Chairty Rosen-Ehresman: I have a young baby and this story has just broke my heart. It is so sad, trust is such a huge thing. But when it comes to our children we can never be too careful, there are so many different predator and abuser out there today we have got to put our children first and make sure that they are safe. Even our daycare's are known to no longer be safe.
Aimee Moses: What about the 5 year old that was there and what he witness?
Molly Foth: please release this guy and everyone else who is abusing children to us -mothers,fathers grandparents, friends and everyone else who would like to take turn in beating those people in public....Maybe then we do have chance to slowkilling an...d abusing children down
Charity Loftice i would kill someone if they ever hurt one of my babies!!!!what is wrong with our justice system that this animal was even out of jail let alone allowed around children after the first time? this make me very sad and angry!
Emily Norton: It's tragic... women need to be more careful, not only about who they date (like knowing this guy had beaten a baby a few months ago), but who they let babysit their kids. Very sad...
Melanie Bardwell Young: The mother did not know he is accused of beating another baby. The case is still under investigation, and she and her family knew nothing of it. Yes, parents (not just mothers!) need to be careful of who they leave their children with! Abusers are very good at charming people and making people trust them...

Southern Miss baseball player Jared Bales has decided to forgo his senior season due to injury, the school announced Tuesday.
Bales, a Picayune native, has been limited to 89 total at-bats the last two seasons by chronic back problems. He was a Freshman All-American at catcher in 2011, but was never able to stay consistently healthy after that.
"This was a tough decision for Jared, but he has been fighting back injuries for the last two seasons and his No. 1 priority is his health," Southern Miss coach Scott Berry said. "His leadership and experience will be missed on the field for us this spring."
Bales appeared in only eight games in 2012, but managed 18 games and 63 at-bats last season, primarily as a designated hitter. He finishes his career with a .248 batting average, a .350 on-base percentage, three home runs and 25 RBIs.
Junior Austin Roussel is expected to be Southern Miss' primary catcher this season, after splitting time with departed senior Chase Fowler in 2013. The Golden Eagles also list junior-college transfers Matt Durst and David Walley, along with true freshman Chuckie Robinson, as catchers on their 2014 roster.
Southern Miss opens the 2014 season Feb. 14 at home against Stony Brook.

West Virginia's U.S. Attorney for the Southern District said Thursday the investigation into the worst mining disaster in 40 years isn't over.
Booth Goodwin said they are still following leads on what lead to the explosion at the Upper Big Branch mine.
Goodwin said that former mine Superintendent Gary May is expected to be sentenced in October, and that more charges could be brought against other people involved. "We want to bring any individuals responsible to justice. We also want to get to the bottom of just exactly what happened there. Those two goals are not mutually exclusive and I would anticipate we'll be prepared to make an announcement very soon," said Goodwin.
The first person charged in the investigation, Security Chief Hughie Stover, is appealing his sentence. Stover is facing three years in prison but is free while he appeals.

Since Marquez and Bradley have no interest in fighting Pacquaio in September, who will be Pacman's next opponent? I do not think it would be Rios or Mile High Mike because of the war they were in earlier this year. They both should fight a soft opponent and not a major challenge like Pac. The options that I see Pac can have are all at the 140 mark. 147 is then unless Pac wants to fight someone like Devon Alexander or even possibly Lamont Peterson which would be interesting I do not see much pickings at 147. Pac could fight Zab Judah if he has a good showing against Danny Garcia, I am actually picking Danny to win that fight. He can fight either Marcos Madaina or his fellow country and Matthysee. Which would be a slug fest from the first bell. I am wondering what Arum will do because clearly the match up he wants is not going his way. So I guess we will see who he picks. Does anyone have a clue? I would not be surprised if Bob made an announcement about Pac's next opponent during the weekend of May 4th. It would be smart for him to do.

I don't know...... IF Marquez really prefers a 5th Title over a 5th match with Pac, Arum could just Put Pac in a position to get his belt back from Bradley. That would put Marquez in a position in which he STILL has to fight Pac to get a belt he feels is rightfully his. I'm just speculating though....

Mum inspires Trowbridge hairdresser into close shave
Updated 12:44pm Friday 4th July 2014 in News By Staff reporter
There was a buzz around Richard Gardner's Trowbridge hair salon as it was his turn to sit in the chair to raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness.
Mr Gardner, 34, decided to shave his head after his mum, Julie, was diagnosed with breast cancer 10 weeks ago and is currently undergoing chemotherapy at Royal United Hospital, Bath.
Customers, friends and family poured into the Stallard Street salon to watch Julie give him a number one all over with clippers.
He said: "It will take a long time to get used to but it is nothing compared to what mum or anyone else suffering from cancer is going through."
So far he has raised £2,380. To donate, visit www.justgiving.com/Richard-Gardner1

Former Braintree mill workers reunite for textile archive's tenth birthday
9:00am Sunday 6th July 2014 in News
More than 20 former workers at a Braintree textile mill were invited to celebrations to mark the tenth anniversary of a museum dedicated to the mill's past.
Former Warner and Sons workers visited The Warner Textile Archive in Silks Way to share their memories of the mills, which shut in 1971.
Among them was Patricia Davey, 94, who was "delighted to receive the invitation and was very excited about reminiscing with her former colleagues."
She was 15 when she started working at the mill and made materials including silks for the parachutes used in the Second World War.
John Mckee, chairman of Braintree District Museum Trust Ltd, said: "The event was a huge success. "It was a delight to see so many former employees of Warner and Sons and share their memories of their time working here.
"Their insights and memories will provide invaluable as we continue to develop our understanding of the archive collection over the next decade."

The Internal Revenue Service is touting the new "no-doc" $1,500 home office deduction that's available for the first time this tax filing season, but don't fall for it without doing your homework. "Remember, the IRS doesn't necessarily do anything good for taxpayers unless it also benefits them," says Cynthia Jeanguenat, an enrolled agent in Virginia Beach, Va. She didn't alert her clients to the simplified deduction ahead of tax filing season "lest they stop keeping track of their expenses as we train them to do," she says. "Is it easier? Sure. Is the deduction better? Not that I've found," she adds.
Basically, the simplified method is an alternative to calculating and substantiating your actual expenses. It's like using the standard mileage rate for deducting business auto expenses instead of the more cumbersome actual expenses (maintenance, gas, insurance). It may not be the best deduction but if you don't keep records, it's all you can claim.
To snag the home office deduction using the simplified method, all you have to do is multiply the square footage of your home office space (that's space used exclusively and regularly for your home-based business) by $5, and that's what's deductible. The biggest catch: there's a $1,500 maximum limit to the deduction you can claim this way.
By contrast, under the actual expenses method, you add up your rent or mortgage interest, renters' or homeowners' insurance, real estate taxes and utilities, and multiply that times the percentage of your house allocable to your home office. You can also deduct an allocable portion of general house repairs (say a new hot water heater) but that's trickier. With either method, you can only reduce your business income to zero; you can't take a loss.

Ed Schultz Edits Rick Perry to Falsely Accuse Him of Making Racist Remark About Obama
For months, NewsBusters has been warning readers that America's media are going to do everything in their power to label all contenders to Barack Obama racist.
On Monday's "The Ed Show," the host edited Rick Perry - in mid-sentence, mind you! - to falsely accuse the Texas governor of making a racist remark about America's first black president (video follows with partial transcript and commentary):
ED SCHULTZ, HOST: Perry just inferred President Obama is not in love with the United States of America?
Yes, he really said "inferred" rather than "implied." He actually did it twice Monday evening.
This is the caliber of "journalist" that gets his own show on MSNBC. But I digress:
SCHULTZ: You know, folks, this is the same garbage with heard from Sarah Palin and all these Tea Party attack artists in this country. I think there`s an element of racism every time people claim the first black president doesn't love this country.
Perry comes from the radical country club that loves to remind white America President Obama is other, not like you.
Perry also wants you to know that he's pro-business.
PERRY: I'm a pro-business governor. I don`t make any apologies about it, and I will be a pro-business president. Getting America back to work is the most important issue that faces this country, being able to pay off $14.5 trillion or $16 trillion worth of debt. That big black cloud that hangs over America.
SCHULTZ: That black cloud Perry is talking about is President Barack Obama.
Actually, no.
If you look closely at that video, you'll notice that the sound ends after Perry says, "That big black cloud that hangs over America," but he's still speaking.
Want to know what he said that Schultz and MSNBC intentionally cut out?
"That big black cloud that hangs over America, that debt that is so monstrous."
Perry wasn't suggesting, implying, or "inferring" that the "big black cloud that hangs over America" is President Obama.
He clearly - both before the phrase "big black cloud" and after - said he was speaking about America's debt.
Yet Schultz and his staff edited Perry in mid-sentence to make it appear the Texas governor was making a racist remark about Obama.
In any other industry in this nation, such intentionally dishonest and misleading behavior would be met with the harshest of consequences.
Why is this standard operating procedure at MSNBC?

Sargent Schultz, racist
Submitted by wingnut55 on Tue, 08/16/2011 - 6:52pm.
It seems that the Sargent is the racist, he is the one that keeps reminding us that the President is Black. He is the one who sees racism in these statements. His comments seem to tells us more about himself than the people he is trying to undermine.

..of course you can't say "black" without being a racist! Just as you can't criticize the current administration without being racist. Hell, you can't make ANY disparaging remark about the President and his record without being racist. Because if you don't fully support this President, and all of his policies, then by the current definition of racist, you are one. A true racist hasn't always been easy to spot...now you just have to ask if they're a Republican.

He must have been chewing the Twinkies too hard when a teacher in third grade (Ed calls that "senior year") told the class about inference versus implication. "I imply - you infer".
I am implying Ed is moron. He can feel free to infer that he is a moron.

Again Ed?
Submitted by bertkillian on Tue, 08/16/2011 - 7:16pm.
Ed just cannot believe his good fortune still exists; where, he can stumble-f*** through his show and, in a fit of rage, take over the editing of his latest piece on the love affair he suddenly has with GOP candidate Rick Perry. I mean, c'mon; Ed can't even line up his video with the correct piece anymore; his report on the storms in the East was befuddled when he mistakenly had Rick Perry's voiceover for the weather report messed up with his glowing piece of love for Rick to come soon after.

Leftist Bloggers and the Media...
Submitted by OxyCon on Tue, 08/16/2011 - 8:18pm.
Leftist Bloggers and the Media have been using racial attacks on all of Obama's opponents for over three years and it's gotten to the point where if you are against Obama, you are a racist and the entire Republican party is made up of old White racist people.
As a direct result of this, there are now incidents of large Black youth mobs all across the country seeking out vulnerable looking White people to beat unconscious. Make no doubt about it, these race riots are the poisonous fruit of the Leftist bloggers and media demonizing good, decent people for political gain. They have poisoned the minds of these Black youths into thinking that White people are racists and their enemies.

If we only had a free press.
Submitted by pbthinker on Tue, 08/16/2011 - 9:29pm.
In a country, that had a free press, Schultz would be fired for doing what he did. If we had a free press, CNN, CBS, ABC, NPR, all the usual subjects, would be doing stories about, not the unfair edit, there was not a word changed, moved, distorted or anything done with an edit, it was intentionally stopping the tape and inserting his own words for what followed that Schultz should be fired for. He he allowed the sentence to continue no one would have come up with what Schultz did. In fact, I'd bet, if you played that in a room of 100 black people, non of them would believe it was a racist remark against Obama so, no, I don't agree it was editing it was lying about what was said.
The beauty is the tape is out there now and MSNBC, in a fair world, will have to defend it, have Schultz defend it, or fire the SOB. Either way, some action should be taken by someone. If the LSM doesn't do it, the combination of Talk Radio, Fox News, the Internet, and the Conservative press should bring pressure to bear on MSNBC until they correct the record and I would, if I had a choice, force them to do it on the Nightly News with Brian Williams and not on MSNBC when no one will see it.
Of course that's the next question, if it was on Schultz's show who saw it that could be swayed by it?

I think there's an element of racism
Submitted by CobraMan on Tue, 08/16/2011 - 9:56pm.
I think there's an element of racism involved every time someone feels the need to mention Obama's race. Obama's the "first black American President." So what? P. B. S. Pinchback was the first black American Governor, and that was way back in 1872, which is the same year that the first Black Vice Presidential candidate appeared in history (Frederick Douglass), but we don't mention that every time a Governor is mentioned, or the VP speaks, do we? No, the only ones who cares that Obama is a black man are the one who use Obama's race as a a means to attack their political opponents. That's makes the liberals the biggest racists on tv.

Sgt. Schultz Lardous-laxativius
Submitted by Hausmaus on Tue, 08/16/2011 - 9:56pm.
My doctor told me to watch the Ed Schultz show on MSNBC for at least 2 minutes for two days prior to undergoing a colonoscopy. I was supprised that Dr. Thomason had not prescribed me any laxatives or put me on a restritive liquid diet prior to the procedure. Well, the first day I tuned to the MSNBC channel, and watch the Ed Schultz, the first twenty seconds into the show I developed the most horrific urge to defecate I had in my life, my eye balls turned side ways on my head, my temperature rose to 125 degrees , and my skin turned purple-orange. I just couldn't watch that lard faced man for more than one and half minutes before I experienced the same horrific symptoms. The next day I called Dr. Thomason, and told him about the experience. He told me not to miss the Ed Schultz show that night, and the horrific experience I suffer watching Schultz was normal. For the last twenty four hours I had not consumed anything solid, and the thought of another night without food was stressing me to the hilt. The second time I watched the Ed Schultz show on MSNBC my insides crawled out of my rectum, I literally had my spleen hanging out of my rear-end. I understood why Dr. Thomason told me to watch the Ed Schultz show on MSNBC, my doctor had found the ultimate laxative but one that not only cleaned your lower tract, but left half of your viceras hanging out to dry

In its first 70-odd days of operation, the citys new employee medical clinic, officially the Health and Wellness Center, has seen more than 1,000 patients, filled almost 2,500 prescriptions and performed more than 3,700 lab tests.
All at no cost to the patients, beyond their insurance premiums.
Allison Judge, chief executive officer of TransformHealthRX, the company contracted to operate the clinic, said this week that the clinics opening has been well received by employees.
I visit the center often and I always talk to patients. One thing I always her them say is that weve saved them money out of their pocket. Judge said.
Judge said in the early days of the centers operation there have been some longer waiting times for some patients, but that is a symptom of all the patients being new patients and must spend some time giving the staff their medical history.
In some instances there has been some wait time, she said. But by and large when looking at patient satisfaction surveys and by far a very small percentage rated lower than a 10 on wait times.
The company calls practically all patients who have used the clinic and ask about 10 questions about the service. Those surveys are compiled and sent to the Consolidated Government, she said.
That report has not been doctored or sanitized in any way, youre getting the good, the bad and the ugly, she said. If a patient says something, were writing it down and giving you the information.
Councilor Judy Thomas questioned whether the city is really getting an accurate reflection of employee satisfaction.
The surveys that I have received almost without exception have been very positive, Thomas said. So if there have been any negative comments, were not getting those.
Even though the comments are gathered by telephone from Statesboro, Ga., Thomas suggested that if employees were able to give their comments anonymously, they might be a little more forthcoming.
Councilor Bruce Huff said he has heard a few complaints from employees, but not about the clinic. They said some city supervisors would not let workers leave work for clinic appointments.
City Manager Isaiah Hugley said he had not heard any such reports, but said city employees should be allowed to leave work for appointments, and not have their pay docked for the time away. Hugley said he would investigate the complaints Huff brought forward and make sure employees could leave for appointments.
Several city employees appeared before Columbus Council Tuesday to give testimonials about the center. One, Community Investment Director Amy Carbajal said she recently came to the Consolidated Government from a similar position in Florida, and Columbus benefits package and the availability of the clinic have saved her family a lot of money.
We signed on right away and had two appointments in the first two months, she said. Between the appointments and prescriptions, we saved over $200.
Currently a little more than 500 of the citys approximately 3,000 employees have signed up for the center, opting instead for more traditional HMO or PPO insurance coverage. But the premiums and co-pays for those coverage plans could be going up, as has been the case in the private sector.
The administration brought a proposal to implement the increases to Columbus Council on Tuesday, and the plan was not embraced by councilors. But because health care costs are expected to exceed the amount budgeted by the city by about $2 million this year, even those councilors opposed to the plan proposed Tuesday said they realizewd the status quo if not a viable option.
The proposed plan called for premiums for those who opt for the clinic would not increase. City officials have said they hope that will motivate more employees to take that option.

Valdosta - The Jimmy Carter Work Project is less than a week away, and 27 families will soon have a new home. "It's the super bowl of all Habitat projects," said Ralph Jackson, Habitat for Humanity Director.
Twelve hundred volunteers from all over the world are expected to help in the Jimmy Carter Work Project. Those volunteers will build all 27 homes in just one week. "They're coming from South Africa, Korea, and all over the U.S.," said Jackson.
Tuesday, Georgia Power workers installed utility poles at the site, and construction workers laid the final foundations. The area is now filled with lumber, concrete slabs, and tools, but will soon be a newly developed residential neighborhood.
"We've been waiting for this week for two years and can't wait to get started eliminating sub-standard housing," said Jackson.
The build will begin Saturday, and President Carter will visit the site on Wednesday.

Attleboro's James Kitsock, 42, is being credited with saving the life of Maria Costa at the St. Vincent de Paul Parish on Linden St. after she stopped breathing during a Mass on May 15.
"I walked up and I noticed that her head was turned down and everything was limp on her," described Kitsock. "At that point I checked for a pulse but couldn't get a pulse."
So Kitsock began chest compressions while another parishioner dialed 911. After the first round of CPR was unsuccessful, the presiding priest began administering last rites. It's when Kitsock began another round of chest compressions that Costa began to come to.
"At one point the whole church started to say the 'Our Father' out loud," remembers Kitsock. "I started feeling her hands, and her eyes came around and at that point I knew she was breathing again."
EMTs arrived and checked Costa's vitals before transporting her to the hospital. She was released later that evening.
Kitsock met her at Mass the following week and when he asked how she was, she apologized for interrupting Mass, though she said it with a smile.
Kitsock told NBC 10 that he took a CPR class about a decade ago that was offered by his employer while he was working for Federal Court in Boston. This was the first time he has ever performed CPR.

A tragedy in California has local firefighters sending out a warning this morning.
A grandmother recently gave her grandson a water bottle in the car, but inside that bottle wasn't water, it was a poisonous liquid and the child died.
That is why the Tucson Fire Department wants to send a warning to the community.
Thankfully Tucson has not had any deaths, but there have been several close calls. TFD says they had 11 poisoning incidents involving children just in December.
In many cases it can be a family member reaching for an unlabeled bottle thinking its water. In other cases it's kids reaching out for containers themselves.
As TFD Capt. Barrett Baker sums it up, "They don't understand, it can be a really dangerous situation."
So make sure to keep dangerous fluids in their original container and out of reach of children.
If you think your child drank a poisonous fluid call 911 immediately, do not try to make them throw up.

Weird and wacky histories of Box Hill
Lots of interesting people have lived on and visited Box Hill over the years. People like Major Peter Labilliere, the man who was buried on Box Hill upside down.
Major Peter Labilliere thought the world was topsy turvey and that it would turn upside down. So when that happened, he would be the right way up. A few miles away, a horse is buried upside down too. You might think it was Major Peter Labilliere's horse but it's actually just a big coincidence.
Why did you have to wear slippers to work on Box Hill?
What about the army who had to go to work in their slippers? The Old Fort would have been full of gunpowder so instead of the army men wearing their boots, they had to wear their woolly slippers. This is because just one spark from a boot hitting the stone floor would have blown up the whole building.
Grandma's memories
Children have enjoyed Box Hill for hundreds of years, maybe your grandparents or great-grandparents used to visit when they were your age. Some will remember sitting on the viewpoint during the Second World War, watching the bomber planes flying over. Apparently, when the noises of the planes changed, the children would run and hide in the woods just in case.

The startup also pulled in another $4 million from Silicon Valley Bank, for a total of $14 million.
CEO Sheldon Owen's reaction on signing up Advance: "Woohoo!"
"They own an incredible amount of media properties and understand social is the future of advertising," said Dave Donahue, Unified's head of communications.
Andrew Siegel, a former Yahoo dealmaker who joined Advance in 2010, is joining Unified's board.
Unified has been around for a little over a year. Its revenues are already in the double-digit millions, Donahue said. Microsoft, BMW, and GE are among its 200 clients.
The company plans on using the funds to grow sales, ramp up its tech by doubling the engineering team in the next four months, and invest in marketing.

If like me you haven't quite finished you're Christmas shopping I hope this will help you and you'll see a couple of thing which you think are perfect for your friends.
Not everyone likes watches but I think this bracelet is a nice alternative as it doesn't look like a watch and is just very adorable! Perfect for any teen who seems to have everything!
I think Dirty Works from Salisbury's is such a nice option for Christmas presents if you are looking for something a little more inexpensive. Often vintage inspired packaging comes with slightly higher price tag but everything from this range is affordable. The makeup bag is really pretty and very practical as you can just wipe dry, the mirror is a hand bag essential!
These actually aren't very easy to purchase and I believe you have to go into the London Based Fresh Store in order to purchase these in the UK. However these are an extra special gift especially for people that like to avoid parabens, sulfates and synthetic fragrances, plus its just £20! It includes a Sugar Rose Lip Treatment, Brown Sugar Eau de Parfum spray and a Brown Sugar Body Cream. The packaging is also really lovely and I'd be very happy to see this under my tree!
If you are looking for something for younger girls, even to mid teens Hello Kitty is usually a safe bet. I love this stationary and I don't think I could part with it even if I am a little old for pink glittery notebooks and pencils. Available here
Another Inexpensive present idea is this I Love... Miniature gift set available in a range of scents you can chose them the perfect one! Available from Superdrugs.
This is one of my favourite gifts this Christmas from Boots No7, the only problem is if you do buy it you won't want to give it away! For just £12 you get two lipglosses, a lip brush and a lip & cheek due. You can't really go wrong!
If you are looking for a very luxurious present this Rodial Bathing Balm is perfect! Its a thick gel, which has a light fruity smell and is prefect for anyone that loves baths £30.
Every time I give away Sanctuary products I always get told that they loved all the products. This year I have one of these great Ultimate Facial in a box both for myself and for a friend, perfect for helping moisturise winter skin! £20
Hopefully that was helpful to some people, sorry it wasn't as in depth and I had hoped!
Have you finished all your Christmas Shopping?

Some Companies Behind Shrinking Belly Ad Are Conning Consumers, FTC Alleges

Those online ads showing a shrinking waistline and offering "1 Tip for a Tiny Belly" have linked to some diet companies that are conning consumers, the Federal Trade Commission has alleged.
Independent promoters sell the ads to companies hawking diet products made from foods such as acai berries and African mangoes, as well as a human hormone known as hCG, the Washington Post reports. The FTC has filed 10 lawsuits against the acai berry marketers claiming deceptive advertising, but has taken no action against the other marketers.
People who click on the belly ad are led to fake diet or news sites that feature articles claiming to investigate diet claims, the Post says, citing FTC allegations. Reviews are favorable, as people claiming to have used the products rave about the results. People reading the claims are then directed to a website, where they can order "trial samples" of the products.
The FTC has alleged in the acai berry suits that the news sites aren't legitimate and the weight loss claims can't be substantiated. Consumers who don't read the fine print won't realize that they will be regularly charged for new shipments of the product until they manage to call a toll-free number and endure the time-consuming cancellation process, the FTC says.
The Post says one company tried to protect itself with this fine print on a fake news page: "This website, and any page on the website, is based loosely off a true story, but has been modified in multiple ways including, but not limited to: the story, the photos, and the comments. Thus, this page, and any page on this website, are not to be taken literally or as a non-fiction story."
